Speaker 1 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich
pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot
takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
(00:23):
Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. We are
in the air everywhere as we fillibuster the podcast away
here eight days a week, well not this week because
of the furlough, but normally eight days a week. This
is the Sunday show. There will be no radio show tonight.
If you listen to this on Sunday, there is no
radio show. And well there'll be a show. I'm not
(00:45):
gonna be hosting it because of Maya furlow. But we're
here because four hours not enough on a typical night,
and a spinoff of the radio show. And over there
somebody not on the radio show because he can't work overnight.
He's west of the four oh five. David, guess yeah,
I refused to abdicate my my manhood to to call
(01:05):
you daddy. Um, I won't never, I will never ever
ever panned to you or the masses like that. Um, yeah,
I'm still in contention for best filling, but it will
not be for those reasons and those reasons alone. So
um but yeah, Loud and Brown Backer in the studio
with you. You go from Benny Bride's side to to
(01:28):
flow Benny. You're just adding another name onto, yes, to
the nickname collection list. That is right, adding a new
nick name here. So we had John Sterling on the
Friday A part. If you did not download that, I
do recommend it. He was great, he was stuff thinking
about that. He's The stories he told were awesome. He's
a great story too. Obviously, he's been doing this forever
(01:48):
for his entire life. And we ran for I think
thirty minutes on that one and didn't even get enough
questions in too to have him answer. Unfortunately. Yeah, there
was like a bunch of other stuff. We should have
him on again, but it's gonna be tough once baseball
starts with to get him on because he'll be working
every day and I don't have time anyway. Uh So
we have on this party because we've got a big
(02:08):
mail bag. We can maybe do some Florida. Man, if
you want and we have. Don't stick to sports stories
of the week, which is pretty much all we're doing now.
You want to start with don't stick to sports stories
of the week. You wanna start with that Before we
actually start with that, let's let's thank the masses guest
on again. The podcast reviews have been good. We actually
got a little publicity for the podcast promotion. Yeah, which
(02:29):
is cool. I was shocked. I I woke up one
morning and took a snapshot photo of podcasts that are
are trending in the uh, the sports landscape and the
most popular popcast podcasts. Excuse me that we're we're in
there for sports related to include the Fifth Out with
Ben Miller on on Apple iTunes front and center. Awesome.
You didn't have to scroll down or anything like that.
(02:52):
There are twelve billion podcasts and ours was featured near
the front. That's pretty cool. That is nice. And of
course it helps you get people that review it, comment
on it, and then participating any of the comments for
the podcast, which is huge. So we're all over the
place man, loud and proud, and of course can't do
it without the other listeners out there. Absolutely absolutely all right,
(03:14):
So where should we say Florida man, or you want
to start with, don't stick to sport. You got the
itch for Florida man. I think the last couple of
weeks we've had naked men and women on Florida man.
So what do we got now? All right, so we
have I don't know if we can play this audio
or not. I'm putting on the spot. But there was
a viral video of a woman and says she wasn't
(03:35):
just one woman, like several women at this city council
meeting in Florida somewhere. And this woman started raging and
she went on this this rant that just freestyle and
just freestyling and just unloting. She she was like calling
(03:56):
the politicians the devil. She mentioned Bill Gates and uh,
deep state pedophiles. Hillary Clinton like, oh this wild wild
stuff you just coming for you. Yeah, ratitat tat, ratitat tat.
It was. It was pretty pretty impressive. But the thing
about this, so I've seen enough of these highlights from
(04:18):
city council meetings, like these politicians are just soulless. They
don't pay any attention. You go to a city council
meeting and you read the riot Act here, I used
to read the riot active these these the city council
and I've been listening, all right, thank you, you're a
lot of time is up next. It's like just completely lifeless,
just their obligation passing on through. Yeah, but yet people
(04:39):
still do it because I guess it's it's therapeutic to
go and rant at the politicians even though they're not
gonna do anything unless they're they're getting their backscratched via
outside influences. But that Florida woman, I guess we don't
have we can't play it. But it's if you haven't seen,
it's got like seven million views or something like that
on social media. It's been been pretty big. Speaking of
Florida woman, this is about Florida. This is about Florida woman.
(05:01):
How about this about goats? A Florida woman has filed
a lawsuit against her neighbor, seeking either a paternity test
on her goats or a refund. Apparently there's some debate
about the genetics of a goat. I would I wonder
what the retail price of a goat is. I wonder
what she's looking for in compensation. Yeah, I know that racehorses.
(05:24):
That when the Kentucky Derby go to stud but goats
the same same thing for the goats. Is that Yeah,
that's a hell of a question. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio app. Oh here's a good one.
Florida Man is our last floor. I don't have a
(05:45):
few of them out. Florida man reportedly stole, crashed, and
then abandoned a yacht, but not just any yacht, a
yacht worth almost a million dollars. And this happened back
in March. The guy was able to avoid the police
for three months. He finally got arrest did recently and
the guy he's twenty eight years old. He stole the
(06:06):
boat from a dock in St. Petersburg, Florida, and then
left it after crashing it into a channel marker pilling.
According to the Sheriff's office, the boat then drifted into
a nearby oyster bed and it was discovered by local
deputies there and they were able to identify this guy
because you know, not the brightest guy he is. Fingerprints
(06:29):
were on the cabin door so and he he was
charged to check this out. He was charged with grand
theft vessel for the joy ride and faces up to
thirty years in prison. And the yacht that was stolen
to forty six ft long, one of those luxury yachts
(06:49):
worth nine hundred thousand dollars. About that. That is good.
If you're gonna joy ride, Miles will knock it out
of the park. It's better than stealing a plastic boat,
you know, those plastic blow up things. And anyway, all right,
so that's Florida. Man, what do we have? We have
those sports? Yeah? How about this? Doctors in Cambodia had
(07:12):
to perform a little surgery on an older man Ben.
They removed a leech that was stuck in him. It
got through his crank and it sucked out a pint
of blood from him while it was inside of him,
A pint of blood as it entered through your crank.
Can you imagine that? So is uh moneymaker? Is Johnson? Yeah?
(07:35):
The big Sausage, Yeah, the Bigs, the big Sausage. But
it became bigger because he had a leech in it. Wow,
when are you going to Cambodia seeing the photo? Oh
my god, yeah, Oh my god. The The Daily Oh
my god, be sure to catch live editions of the
(07:56):
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm.
Sipping you get a chance that's that is a WinCE
situations in the Daily Mail. Go to the Daily Mail
and type in leech bladder swam up his penis. Oh
my god, that is out of a horror movie. So
(08:19):
we go from Cambodi. All right, inside, you gonna call
that a hole in one, right, But I'm bumped there, man,
how about this in the United States, we want to
do something a little bit different with our doctors. Ben
Dancing with the Stars wants to bring in a new crew.
Can you guess which professional now is among the contestants
(08:42):
that will be on or wants to be approached on
Dancing with the Stars. All right, so they've done politicians,
they've done comedians, athletes, They've done a lot of athletes there.
So this has to be something outside the box. But
it's got to be something of celebrity though, right, because yeah,
trying to think they've done magicians, they've done I'm trying
to think what other branches dancers. Obviously wouldn't matter her
(09:05):
dances a dance show. I don't know what is it?
It is none other than doctor Anthony Faucci. Oh really,
oh wow? We ru when Trump's guy? What it was
white house speakers? He did it? No, it was the
redheaded guy, chubby redheaded guy. Oh um, yeah, forget his name?
(09:28):
How soon we forget? Yeah? I didn't he go on there?
I think he did. He did, He was not. It
was not well received. But I know exactly what you're
talking about. Just come to my mind. Um. But but yeah,
so now we got Now we got Dr Anthony Faucci
potentially going on Dancing with the Stars. Now, is he
gonna wear a mask or not a mask? No? I
(09:48):
think he's gonna go. I think he'll take some caloric
quinn before he goes on on stage. So he allowed.
Isn't he supposed to be running the pandemic make it
all that? Well? Yeah, of course, but this will be
after he's done. This will be after the pandemic ends,
if it ever ends. Yeah, I think I think with
(10:09):
with good reason, right, or maybe he does. What can
you do that would require six ft of separation on
the dance? I mean, obviously you can't do the waltz,
but you can't be making any kind of contact with
the with your partners. So how do you go well?
When I was dancing when I was younger. Women, when
you get morbidly obese and you don't have anyone around you,
(10:29):
they don't want to dance near you. So that's my advice.
That is some nickel dime advice. There. Just just become
a big fat tubago and then no one will want
to no one will want to be around you at all.
Are you trying to say that you never you never
did the jitterbug in the day? Yeah? No, I mean,
(10:52):
my wife's dragging on the dance floor a few times,
but I didn't when I was younger, I did not
do the boogie woogie. Did not. Well. At least it
will see at least you have a good partner in crime.
Now that'll bring you out of your your comfort zone.
Now I can do the choo or the Charleston or yeah,
and now and the next thing, we do you do
(11:13):
any of that? Now? Do you do any of that
in public? Now? That's the question. I know you guys
so much alcohol I've had. If I know anyone in
the room that'll take photos and shame me forever on
social media. I knew. When I was a kid, the
only dance I did was we go to the skating
rink and they did the hokey pokey put your right
foot in, you take your right foot out, you put
your right foot in, and you shake it all about
(11:34):
and do you do the hokey poke Yeah, and you
turn yourself around. And that's what it's all about. I
know that this is uh. I know this is not
a surprise to you, but Walt Disney Company announced earlier
this week that Splash Mountains gonna be changing things around
a little bit. They have a song associated with it
(11:55):
for the nineteen six films, Song of the South. That's
a great song, it is, but they're now really dude,
does it pitty day? Yeah, my, oh my on a
wonderful day. Well they're now taking that out, So yeah,
it's gonna be the ride itself. Will be rebranding some
rap music in there instead. What are they gonna do?
I don't know. It will be something anti police, I'm sure, yes,
(12:16):
police suck. You're all racist? And uh, and here's a waterfall.
Do you think we're gonna do that with uh? I
mean we've already done it with with college athletics. But
do we just run the full gamut of professional and
amateur sports teams that have to rebrand themselves. Yeah, well again,
(12:37):
this is something I was ahead of my time on.
I am pat myself on the back like paddle Bryan would, Um,
we should get pattle Brian on the pie. Did you
think you would do it? Oh? Yeah, of course, I
think it would be more fitting I do that video
style though. Could you imagine like what he's doing behind
the scenes. Oh yeah, p that's that's out there. But
I'll get pets number. I can get him. Um. Anyway,
(12:59):
what was it ution? I completely forgot. I got distracted
by pedal Brown. Oh yeah, well yeah, I was ahead
of my time on this because I used to do
rants like ten, twelve, thirteen years ago that everything is offensive,
and I would do a bit where people would call
up and try to stump me, you know, it stumped
the mallard, Well that's not offensive, and they'd call up
(13:20):
with these these things, which they were like, wow, come on,
you know you you cannot possibly find this innocuous team
name the Browns offended, you know, offensive or something like that.
It's just the color brown. It was actually named after
a guy, but I was like, no, no, some people
use that as a you know, racist turn you go,
(13:41):
you go down. And animals obviously is easy because animal
rights wackos get very upset by that. And there's literally nothing,
there is nothing that can be named. Somebody who said
that the biggest one, the most harmless one, was the jets,
But that's objectionable to people that think jets are ruining
the environment, right, and that the chem trails and all
(14:02):
the stuff coming out of jets, that's that's had really offensive.
The Notre Dame fighting, Irish, the fighting a lion I
of Illinois, terrible fighting, endorsing violence, endorsing violence. The wolverine,
how about the wolverine? Ho how many people have died
because of wolverines over the yse What about their ancestors
to their lives? Not matter what about them? Come on,
(14:24):
please go down the list. I mean, we can't report
the facts anymore and say that it's black and white
that could be. Can't do that, that's right? Uh. The
lakers offensive. People have died in a lot of accidents
at lakes and it's you know, people get skin cancer
from laying out in the sun by the lake. They
die boating accidents of the Lake Dead and the Lakers
(14:46):
are mocking that the Lakers are mocking people's pain must
be canceled. I'm hurt. Cancel it, please cancel it? Can
you cancel the Laker name? Well, we got the Tomahawk
chop canceled in Atlantis. Since there's no no, no, be
sure to catch live edition. So the Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific. How
(15:09):
about this? Uh? In? In the UK, a company, now
a plastics company, has developed a personal mobile plastic shield
for use by the general public. Um. Ben. Basically, this
is almost a full blown tube that's on top of
your head. It is like a It is like a
clear transparent trash can that you're wearing over your head
(15:33):
and over the top of your shoulders as uh as
a ppe device for you. Would you be down to
wear that? Uh? No, I'm I'm I'm good. I don't
know you your styler guest gun gonna sign up for that?
That sounds like something west of the four oh five
that you'd be down with, no, no chance in hell.
(15:53):
It's how about this? Um? Do you remember that Wendy's
that was burned down in Atlanta. Yes, yeah, that's not
how I remember my Wendy's experience. But yeah, he gone.
Good news. The woman that was accused of setting fire
to that Wendy's, she's been sent home. She's been ordered
to wear an ankle monitor and just remain on a
(16:13):
house arrest and stay off social media right now, and
due to the coronavirus outbreak. Really, yeah, that's nice. So
you're allowed to torch a Wendy's you get a thing
on your ankle? How that works? Molok top cocktail into
a police cruiser in New York. You're gonna go as
long as you're an attorney or very lady like. I
gotta tell you that, I'm all for equality. Women are
(16:34):
just as capable of torching and vandalizing and pillaging as man,
So good for the ladies. Rule a lot. I'm a woman,
hear me, roar or burn you. Rule a lot only
applies if you're going to church. You're going to the
park with your kids. Are out here in Los Angeles.
If you go to you can't say church. They're trying
to cancer religion. Guess you can't do that. Religion is bad,
My bad, my bad, my bad. Don't Mark because the
(16:57):
Marxists don't like religion. Right, my wrong on this read
that when I was a kid that Marxist don't like religious. Um,
so we're we're done with that. But I have a
couple of stories that, yeah, I sent to you, but
apparently he didn't see. How about this Pakistan and I've
never been to Pakistan. I actually met a senior political
figure from Pakistan when I was in Boston that was
in line at a pizza place, and he had a
(17:19):
Pakistanian flag on his shirt and I asked him, I said,
what what is that? I didn't know, I didn't know
what country was. I am very naively asked him, and
he told me he was a very nice man, very
polite man from Pakistan, and he was traveling to negotiate
deals because a lot of the banks are headquartered in Boston.
And he said he comes. He would come to America,
(17:40):
as I remember the story, he would come several times
a year and he would do like the I nine quarter.
He'd go to Boston worked the banks. He'd go down
to Wall Street to butter the biscuits of Wall Street,
and then he'd go to d C for the politicians.
Do you do the I nine quarter? And but a
very nice guy. He was, you know, big, big smile
and nice and told some good stories there while we
(18:01):
were wait in line at Regina Pizza, which is appropriately
named not after that listener in in in Minnesota. But anyway,
so it's a Pakistan story. Almost one in three pilots
almost that's a weel word. But one in three pilots
in Pakistan have fake licenses, but they're flying playing what
(18:23):
could possibly man? That's good. Remember there's a guy you
probably don't know before your tip. Stun Nahan was his
famous you know, all right? Stu was like a famous
l a sportscaster. He was also in Rocky four, Yes,
and was he in Fast Times that Ridgemont High? Was
he in that also? I think he might have been,
But anyway, it doesn't matter. So Stu was a friend,
(18:46):
milder friend. I knew him a little bit when I
first started. He had been in the business for I
watched him on television as a kid, and Stu in
the dining room at Dodger Stadium would regale us with
stories because he was a pilot and he was always
trying to convince people to fly and I remember he
talked to these other the writers and the media guys,
and I don't want to fly. You know, it's not
safe and all that. I don't want to fly, and
(19:07):
uh and Stu had this great line is listen, the
only time it's dangerous is when you take off in
your land. When you're flying. It's once you get in
the sky, you're it was gonna this whole ran. It
was hilarious. The only time it's dangerous when you take off,
the rest of it's okay. Yeah, I was. I was.
I was talking to my dad about this because we
were watching some behind the scenes footage from the original
(19:30):
Top Gun and so Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson obviously
were the guys behind all of this, and they were
talking about the partnership with with with our military and
our government on how to make this thing happen. But
I'm fascinated to know now that there are certain points
because they were talking about how Tom Cruise and all
the other actors that were in this they would go
(19:51):
up and immediately they'd be sick to their stomach, and
that's obviously because of the force behind the way they
were flying and the tubes in your ears. Obviously you're
getting thrown all the way around. It makes you nauseous
and want to throw up. But he said that planes
now in certain instances, um, they can sense that when
a pilot blacks out or passes out, that the planes
will just fly themselves, which is really Yeah, it's just
(20:14):
it's fascinating to me. Obviously, uh, you know, with modern
day technology and whatnot. But yeah, I mean you have
to become so in tune physically with the way that
the force and the torque from the plane and obviously
the velocity, but it's just the it's the little it's
your the tubes and your ears, and in the way
(20:34):
that it's it catches your senses. It uh, it costs you.
I mean, it's like vertigo right where you're when you're
losing your equilibrium. It's the same thing when you're when
you're a pilot and you're flying, you have that that
g force that's behind you. You've got to become acqulimated
to it physically or otherwise you're you're knocked out, you know.
Anytime I hear, well, not anytime I don't usually hear
(20:55):
what you just said about the planes that will fly themselves.
I'm reminded. I was on the radio local radio and
l A, the Bet and Dave show mid days in
Los Angeles, higher higher rated than any of the midday
shows on in l A. Right now, how about that?
Put that in your pipe and smoking. But anyway, so
Payne Stewart, we were on the air, remember that Payne
Stewart story. Guess he was He had won a bunch
(21:18):
of PGA tour events and his plane was floating. It
was the uh when they say it like boats that
don't have ghost ships, you know, they say that it
was a ghost plane. Yeah where I mean people were there,
but they weren't. I guess it passed out and the
plane just kept flying until it ran out of gas
and it crashed in the in the hills around South Dakota.
(21:40):
And uh, it's just it's crazy. You know. ESPN did
this I think two weeks ago or three weeks ago,
but they actually used Google Maps to track Royal Holiday's flight.
It was it was pretty surreal. Obviously didn't have a plane,
but they had a way that you can track the
way that he flew when he was like the like
(22:00):
he was a blue angel. Uh. I was just mind
fucking boggling to me what he did and how load
of the ground or the load of the water he
was before ultimately he met his demise. Wasn't it like
a week before they almost crashed into a bridge. He
flew under the bridge in Florida? There all right, one
(22:21):
more of my version of don't stick to sports. Do
you see this thing out of Michigan? The library, the
public library there in Michigan is warning people who are
out of an abundance of caution trying to sanitize their
books by putting them in the microwave. Apparently that's not
a good idea. That's not a good idea. Gas on
the Kent District Library in Kent County, Michigan as nineteen
(22:45):
different branches and they're asking people listen, um, don't microwave
a book. They posted a message on social media during
the quarantine as a reminder that quarantined return mits yeals
for seventy two quarantine books for seventy two hours. And
they send some pictures out of what will happen when
(23:05):
you microwave a book. The radio frequency tags in all
materials have metal in them, so like library puts metal
in them and then they catch fire. How about this
next time? Why don't you just wrap your book in tinfoil?
How about Yeah? That is great surprise surprise burn are you?
(23:28):
Are you reading any good books? Right? No? Huh, I
am not. You know, I read so much during the
week on different news stories. That's where I get most
of my reading. I don't have a lot of leisure
time to read, although this weekend I probably have done that,
even though we're doing this podcast on a time machine,
because I've got some downtime and I've got some time
to kill, so I'll probably open up some random book.
(23:50):
Maybe I'll read my infomercial book again, which I like
a lot, some of the sales tricks that infomercials use.
It's pretty cool. You want to get to mail backs?
Do that? All right, let's try. The goal is to
get to all of these questions. Guests got as many
of them as we can, so try to limit our
answers to like one or two minutes combined, and then
we can move on to the next Understand all right,
(24:10):
So these are actual questions sent in by actual listeners
like yourself. You have submitted them. Most of them have
come in from the from the Facebook page, which is
Ben Mallow Show, and usually Wednesday afternoon. Lately it's been
Wednesday night. I will post something and I will say, hey,
I am called the action. I need your help help
me send some questions. And you guys have been great,
and so I thank you very much. You got about
(24:31):
a day to do it. You got about a day
to submit the questions when I put the post up,
and then you can also if you don't want to
have your questions seen by the masses, you can put
your question up or if you're not on Facebook, Real
fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at
gmail dot com. We actually start with some questions from
the Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com email address.
This is from who is this from Al in Cleveland.
(24:55):
He says he was born and raised in Cleveland and
lives in Cincinnati. Take that, Sam White, that's a great,
great tribute. Now one of my favorite drops. We don't
plan anymore because before everyone's time. But Sam wife on
the p A system at Riverfront Stadium. You LEVI in Cleveland,
you know all right? Uh? He says, I loved Mike
(25:20):
North when he did the morning show here, and then
I was upset that the company got rid of Mike
I love Mike also, and he says, I love your
interview with North, but I think Doc Mike is actually
Mike North. Is my conspiracy theory. Correct. Well, al, if
you listen closely to that Mike North podcast. And I've
(25:43):
known Mike for several years and I consider Mike a
radio brother. But I did at one point call him
Doc Mike. I did start. I don't know if I
finished the Doc Mike, but I started calling him. I
was about to say Doc Mike because he has the
same deep dish Chicago accent as as our guy Doc Mike.
(26:04):
So it was I did catch myself doing that. But
I've not seen Doc Mike and Mike North in the
same room. Well, so, I don't know. I could promise
you this, Mike North would never drink his or anyone
else's piss. No, that is true. He would not do that.
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports
Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app
(26:27):
search f s R to listen live. This is a
another one. I did not write the name down there.
Oh it's Benny. I think. Just listen to the podcast
with Mike North. Fantastic. I used to listen to him
and Andy on Fox, but this podcast with him was
just great. Uh, you should do a weekly or monthly
one hour with him on events. It would be awesome. Well,
(26:50):
I'm all for putting Mike North on again. I think
we have one every week. He's gonna want to check though,
and we we don't even get paid for this, so
how is he going to get paid for this? But
maybe once every other month we should have a rotation?
Should we have like a rotation gascon of people that
we kind of go through. I wouldn't mind having Ax
on every couple of months. Yeah. I like the vaulatile
(27:10):
guests that we have on, like Mike North, Vaulatle, Lenny Diaster,
volatile like people like that that can really stir the
like we should have Lenny come back. We should do
another Lenny podcast and talk about the upcoming baseball season
and we can talk about Lenny. Of course, it's more
fun to talk about the nonsense in Lenny's life, right.
I remember distributing that content to two media folks and
(27:31):
and the responses I got, no thanks, no way, hard paths.
Like all this ship, there was a lot of media
folks that would not want to touch anything to do
with Lenny Diaster, which is great. Yeah, it's just shows
you where you're you want to gravitate towards Lenny. When
you hear that anyway, Neo on the email says yes, yes, yes.
(27:51):
To the YouTube channel. It was more intimate and personal
to watch you guys visually and to hear you at
the same time. The gesture, the gestures and all with
it will be fun. I already enjoy your short YouTube
clips men, just like Joe Rogan, rich Roll, etcetera. There
are lots of podcasts on YouTube that get views. Please
(28:14):
do it. Yeah, listen, Neil, we are working on something
that will probably announce at a different date. Here's some
video vehicle that we're gonna do, so I'm excited about that.
I don't think we're allowed to put this on YouTube,
are we? I don't know are we? Are we allowed?
If we did it live and not taped or something
(28:35):
like that, Yeah, that'd be Yeah, that'd be quite a challenge. Plus,
if we're gonna do this, I would need, as you
said to me a couple of weeks ago, I need whiskey.
You need whiskey. Yeah, we would have because we'd also
I think that the important part two. So you'd want
to have live engagement too. So I would like to
(28:55):
have if you're able to have a rolling timeline of
people that are engaged, whether it's Facebook or Twitter, their
questions or comments or whatever like that, that we can have. Well,
remember what would John Sterling taught us on Friday, The
most important things to sell the soul. The broadcasting part
(29:17):
is not the most important part. He's absolutely correct on that, right.
I have often pointed out over the years that my
job is just filler between commercial My job is to
just get you to listen between the next commercials that
come on the air. That's pretty much it. Between the
next time I say Geico, Yeah, all right, Jason, And
(29:37):
these are Facebook questions now Jason and Rocky Mon Virginia says, Hey, guys,
do you know the name of the hospital you were
born in and what city? I'll assume California for both
of you. I was at Proctor's Hospital in beautiful Pia, Illinois.
That's great, Jason, Peory, Illinois. I used to love the
fact I Ralph. A lot of l A broadcasters worked
(29:59):
in Peoria. Ralph Lawlor, the old voice of the Clippers,
Chick Herne, who had been the voice of the Lakers.
I think Bob Miller also. Didn't Bob Miller do a
stint in Purey, Illinois, I don't remember. I think he
was in Wisconsin for a bit. I think you might
be anyway, pure Is like was the test market. They
felt that was a represent the marketing people felt that
was a representation of the United States. So whatever new
(30:21):
food products, they would test it out in Peory, Illinois.
Now it's Columbus, Ohio, is where they test stuff out.
But as far as your your question, Jason, I do
not remember the name of the hospital. I was born
in Fullerton, uh in the or in o c. Right
down the street from where cow State Fullerton is the
campus there. So there's a hospital not far away from there,
(30:41):
and that's where I was born. What about you, gas Gun.
I was born in the wonderful city of San Pedro,
San Pedro, California, so long long time ago. But yeah,
I think the name of it's the Little Company of Mary.
So you're gonna say, oh, a little company. There's a
few of those hospitals, so you say San Pedro born
San Pedro, Bread and when I die, I'll be San
(31:03):
Pedro hopefully not. No, no, I'm gonna move. You're looking
to check out. Yeah, we gotta gonna you know, gotta upgrade.
And when your wife to the four of five, you're
always looking for something bigger and better, all right, Kentucky
Tay writes in shut up, um, you know you just
go a little first, go out in the middy ocean.
All right? How about that, Kentucky tastes as My grandmother's
(31:24):
best recipe was chicken and dressing. What is your grandmother's
most famous dish man, I'll tell you what two of
them for my my grandma Martha God Rest her soul. Um,
her and her two sisters would make the best to
Molly's Mexican side of the families from Guadalajara, and we
(31:45):
would do it for usually the Rose Bowl, or we
would do it Major from Major Holiday. But yeah, to
Molly's from my grandmother and her two sisters the best.
And then my grandmother also made a delicious apricot pie
and we would we would actually have the pie cold.
I've never had apricut pies. I good. She did a wonderfully.
(32:07):
It was amazing, little sugar on top those are anything
with sugar. I know those are the bread and butters
for for Grandma Martha. Yeah, with me, it was some
of the traditional Jewish food mats of ball soup fondly remember,
and that's been passed down from generations, you know, like
the Jewish soul food, you know that kind of stuff.
(32:27):
But yeah, that's the one that pops into my head.
But thank you. Tay Kentucky Tay not to be confused
with Ohio te or North Dakota Te. Al right, false
fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee. Right, since this, Benn and Gago,
if you were on death row and your last rites
were about to be read, and what would your last
(32:49):
meal be? And then we get asked this question a
lot guests Gon and my answer usually is a twelve
course meal served day apart. It would be the way
I would I would do that. What would your final
meal be? Gas? You know, I think it would be
a nice forty ounce tomahawk if I could come through
(33:13):
the microphone and uh slap you give you away, Molly whopping? Yeah,
I have you know. Steak for sure, like any any
Japanese wagon is probably my favorite tap of steak. Um
I hear that's pretty good. I should try that, you
know it is. It's a little, it's a little, a little,
you know it's it's good. Um. Mashed potatoes obviously a favorite,
(33:39):
grilled or sauteed onions. And of course if you're eat
meeting your demise, better have some alcohol with you too.
Gotta be garlic mashed potatoes. You gotta have mixed of
the garlic. Yeah. And and you gotta have French fries.
No matter how you're going down, you gotta end with
with French fries, al right. Next up Kenny in Toledo
right sayings this this is the best question ever. Okay,
(33:59):
that's how I praise ken high expectations. He says, what
is the most epic way you've seen someone quit or
be fired from a job? Bonus points? If you were
the person quitting or terminated as the employee, well, the
I would say this is the most legendary story in
the history of Fox Sports Radio as far as people
(34:21):
meeting their demise. In the early days, we didn't have
many editors. Now we have a fair amount of people
that do the dirty work and the grind behind the scenes,
and the underappreciated, undervalued people that provide us with the
great sound and do not get paid nearly enough and
do not get nearly enough recognition for their hard work.
(34:41):
But in the early days, we only have like one
person that would be the editor for a shift and
have to cover thirty games in basketball and hockey combined
and whatever. So we had a guy who had a
full on falling down meltdown. He was so overwhelmed by
the work load and so piste off with the amount
(35:02):
of money that he was making. He just in the
middle of a shift, packed up his things, walked out
and didn't call anyone, didn't tell anyone. The company thought
he might have died. The company thought he might have died.
They called in the police to do a wellness check
on the guy because he didn't answer his phone for
(35:24):
like three or four days after he had left his
shift and didn't show up to work. So they were
like trying to figure out what's going on. They called
in the police, and finally, of course the police did
well at check. They tracked the guy down and he said,
I don't want to be contacted, I'm done, that's it,
and he just quit. He just like that's it. He
had a meltdown and it just walked away. That's pretty good. Yeah,
(35:44):
that's pretty freaking good. I I personally did one not
as good as that. But my my second job I
ever had, I was working I think it was for
Vans or Lucky's, one of the grocery stores back in
the day. Were you the shop shopping car boy, No,
I was. I was. I was overnight stocking stock in
the groceries. So my shift usually started at three or
(36:07):
four o'clock in the morning. UM. One Friday, I went
down with some friends down to crash a frat party
at San Diego State, a couple of friends that were
going to San Diego State at the time. I was
going to a junior college in l A. And UM,
I connected with a girl that was there and we
went back to her place, and all of a sudden,
(36:27):
one thing, one thing went to another guest gun one
thing led to another, and I noticed the time and
going to Pound town. Yeah yeah, And obviously the drive
from l A to San Diego and back and forth
this two hours. So I saw the time. Uh, I
saw that I would not get back to work in time.
So I called my my manager at work, and I said, hey,
(36:48):
I'm out, and he's like, what do you mean you're out?
Are you sick or not filingall? I was like, no,
I'm I'm I'm out. I'm not coming back. Probably never
saw that lady again, No I know I did not
ever see you did not see you don't know for
one night of joy, you lost it, like you said,
(37:09):
for better or for worse. There you go, Jack in
Greensboro right side, He says, this is for gascn. We
are all well aware that a person who was rides
west of the four oh five. You are almost However,
even Superman has a weakness. What's your weakness or the
area in your life that you fall short? That's from
(37:31):
Jack in Greensboro. It's a it's a kind of a
loaded question. Um, you're gonna take debait. I think I
think more so now in my thirties than in my twenties.
I actually worry more about what people say or think,
and and I think part of that is because as
you worry more now, yeah, yeah, oh I worry less.
(37:54):
I worry less. I used to be so self conscious
being the big fat guy and all that everyone's looking
at you. You're like you got the plague or something
like that, And now I don't give a funk. I'm like,
I don't really care people. Everyone's got their own agenda
and everyone's fucked up, so I don't really care. Yeah,
but the way that the media is and social media
(38:14):
is that everybody knows everything about you now or they
can get into your life and everything. They know what
you present. And we got colors that are fans of
your show that will call the station and ask people
questions about us, like I know that specifically, I have
producers that tell me, Hey, this guy called looking want
(38:36):
to know this about you. I want to know like
where you're at or what you're doing like like that. Yeah, no,
I I know that. That's that really spooked my wife
when I when she we started getting into a relationship
and I announced, you know, was was with her, and
because then the guys were trying to find out stuff
about her and Stocker mentality, like, listen, I appreciate a
(39:00):
big fan of the show, and I know we're public
figures and all that, but there is a certain point,
you know, when you're snooping around it becomes slightly creepy,
slightly creepy, you know, and so see, I guess going
back to Jack's question, you know, playing sports and whatnot,
you have the like a one track mind that you're
only competing, you're only doing this, and you're not only
doing that. You're like, you're not worried about anything else,
(39:21):
no outside influence, nothing else. And I just thought about
myself and and me only, Like I guess sympathy and
empathy weren't in my vocabulary at the time. And now
that I've gotten older, you know, the sympathy the empathy
have come along. And just a bleeding heart. You're just
a bleeding heart, like I don't. Yeah, it's a little annoying,
but sometimes the noise gets inside of my head and I,
(39:42):
you know, you kind of think and you know, listen
to what other people saying. So I guess that's a drawback,
it's a weakness. It is Mark in so Cow writes
and he says, if a city opened up for sporting events,
would you go? I think that's what you're saying. He
was an extra word in here, but I think that's
what well Mark, I have considered this. I know California
is likely not gonna have anybody for a while. Let's
(40:03):
go to Scottsdale, and I was thinking in Texas. I
was thinking going to Houston. If the Dodgers play in Houston.
I'm seriously considering if you can get some tickets to
the I don't know, is it. Am I gonna get
crap like Tom Brady got crap? If I have a
get together with some some listeners during the apocalypse in
a different state. Though it's Texas, so it's allowed and
(40:26):
all that. Yeah, I'll just call it a protest and
little wheel okay, and then we'll be all right. But
it would be a protest. It's a protest against the astro. Yeah,
But I am thinking about the Dodgers play in Houston.
I haven't seen the schedule. I don't know if it's
out yet. Maybe it is, I didn't see it. If
they play in Houston, that would be one I would
be at. That would be one I would be down with.
I'm surprised you didn't say Arizona because at least in
Arizona you can drive there. If you go to Texas,
(40:48):
you're gonna have to fly. Uh yeah, I mean I'd
fly to you know, Texas, whatever, and hang on, I
get friends there. My buddy lives in Dallas, which is
a million miles from from Houston, and I could do that.
And that guy John and san Antonio, he said he's
gonna drive to Houston. If we go to Houston, he'll
go hang out. Can we can we ask your your
(41:10):
big fan, I'm a pilot to charter us a flight
we can make our way down? Yes, he will say, Yes,
I can charter you a flight. Write me a check
for a hundred thousand dollars and I'll start to you
a flight, book out the seven seven for us, and
you let us pay for the gas. Uh. I wonder
how much it would cost a charter a flight l
a Houston. That's a good question. Could you imagine that
(41:33):
because you're booking economy economy plasts and then business class. Yeah,
that's gotta be. That's gonna be a whole bunch of
dough h Here's one from Ben in Charleston, West Virginia.
Ben ass Hey, Ben, when the NBA playoffs commence, will
Kauai lead the Clippers or will Paul George dragged the Clippers? Well, Ben,
(41:55):
this is obvious. Listen, it's all the one thing about
the NBA has all script, it's all core a graph,
it's all manufactured it's Kauai in the bubble. The Clippers
are made for winning a championship in the bubble. And
the greatest thing about this is that it's gonna annoy
the hell out of the historians because they were hoping
(42:15):
if the Clippers won, at least they'd have a parade
and all that, and they can mock the low number
of Clipper fans there. Maybe like that that political pissing
match between the the Trump people and the Democrats, the
Hillary people or the Obamba people. Well, gow many more
people were at this sign, you know, this president being
sworn in and that president being sworn in, and we
(42:37):
would have been one of those kind of things. But
now the Clippers don't have to worry about that. They
can win. They don't have to worry about a parade
or anything like that, and it'll be great. And Kauai
doesn't care about the fans, playing for the fans and
all that. So Kauai is going to lead the way.
Just get everyone get out of the way. Joe kim
Noah and Kauahi Leonard former Defensive Player of the Year
Joe kim Noah now a Clipper. For the rest of
the year, they're they're set up, they're good, they're golden
(42:59):
something they're gonna get. Everyone's gonna get a gold Star
after they win Lakers Clippers Western Conference Finals and then
you'll get Milwaukee out of the East. So Lakers Clippers
Western Conference Finals in Orlando doesn't get anymore l a
than that, right, at least they get the palm trees
and the sunshine. Eric in Minnesota rites, and he says,
Power Hour with Blake Snowflake Snell or Bubba Smollette, Lots
(43:23):
of which one do you want? I'd take either listen.
That would be great for the downloads and the podcast
numbers and all that that either one of those would
be good. Um, So yeah, bring it on. If they
want to come on the podcast, contact This will put
them on. But I'd love to ask Blake how many
hours a day he spends on Twitch as opposed to
how many hours a day it spends on throwing a baseball,
(43:46):
Guessing the one numbers higher than the other. Yeah, you'd
probably get a lot of yes and no answers from
Blake's snell, where you can get Wallace to elaborate a
lot more on any kind of question you you throw
his away, do you think. So, yeah, all right, I
understand what I am. Maybe you can contact your guy
Don Lemon and see if you're and he's got a number,
you know. No, no, Well for a power hour, we
(44:07):
can get Kyler murray on. That'd be great, be a
short hour, fucking as Michael from Denver writes, and he says,
why don't you answer me this one? Great, Benny. Now,
all of a sudden, Colin Kaepernick and his kneeling are
good for the American citizen. Uh, yeah, I listen, Michael,
(44:29):
lots Uh. That's what the media wants you to believe,
that this is now a good thing, that this is
now a positive thing. We will find out when these
guys start kneeling, which is gonna happen in late July,
if that's actually the case or not. And I know
in the NFL specifically during that Kaepernick time, there were
horrific booze and cat calls coming from the upper balcony
(44:52):
to the players that were kneeling, um people in the
stands and all that, and so I would imagine much
of that's going to continue. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe
may the media is right, the mainstream media establishment is right,
and that this now is a wonderful thing, and that
you can't protest any other time than during the anthem.
Even though they say the people that protest it's not
about the anthem, but they have to do it during
(45:13):
the anthem. The logic on that seems to be a
little beyond me. I guess I'm not that smart though,
guess working to figure that part out of it. If
it's not about the A flag, it's not about the anthem,
but you know you're offending people who think it is
about that, but you won't stop doing it. I don't
know is there a correlation or not a correlation. I
can't figure that out. I'm not that right. I do
know that it'll be a supersize because you'll get this
in the NFL, You'll get in college football, you'll get
(45:34):
it in the NBA. How about baseball opening Day? The
sports Legacy first legacy sports League back, and you're gonna
have the entire Texas Rangers on a knee, you know,
like you know that's coming. And then but the amazing
thing is that once everyone takes a knee, then the
person that stands out that's the active protest standing up
is then then you become the protester when you're standing
(45:57):
up but everyone else has taken a knee. Just wait
for the Houston NASCAR with a drop a knee. Oh yeah,
that'll be that'll be fresh, that'll be the giant. That'll
be the biggest funck off moment, I think for me
in banjor League baseball. Yeah, well they are the most punchable, despisable,
despicable team, Nathan in parts unknown. Right, since you think
that all voters should have the choice to vote by mail,
(46:20):
All right, guess goan you want to take that's right
in your wheel here? Guess god you want to take
that one? Hit that out of the park for I
think no, I think that if if you have the
ability to get your ass up and go to a
ballot box, yeah, you go there and you actually bring
your driver's license, Like this is a pretty interesting idea.
But maybe bring a driver's license and a proof of identification,
(46:41):
and then I think we should follow the Chicago guidelines
where even if you've been dead for thirty years, you
can still vote. How about that? Listen anyone that says
that you should not be doing that? As off the rockers,
I you know a couple of weeks ago, I tried
buying a firearm here in California a gun. You tried
to buy a guard? Bang? Bang. The The amount of
(47:03):
of hurdles that I had to to leap over and
just to purchase said firearm is absolutely amazing. Yeah, and
so I don't know if you know this, guest gun,
but the criminals amongst us don't have to follow those
protocols to get a gun. They just have to call
somebody and they go to the you know, the wrong
side of the tracks, and then they figure it out. Yeah,
a little bit different. But no, get your asked of
(47:23):
the voting center and go vote. Now. I do think
now do you think there's voter or suppression, which Lebron
James has been advocating. I think it's very hard to
get registered to vote. I think there's probably suppression, and
I also think there's voter fraud. I think both of
those can can happen at the same time. I do
think voting should be a national holiday, though, no, because
then people won't vote. They won't you don't think they'll vote.
(47:46):
You don't think it would have enough because our national
holiday will be up barbecuing or something like that. Yeah,
but you don't barbecue all day, and you don't. It
doesn't take forever to vote either. It doesn't take forever
to vote. Yeah, well I know, but somebody you have
wait in line and all that stuff. Yeahs pay uh
Carlos and Houston right, since says, what is one show
you guys used to watch as kids that you still
(48:08):
watch now? I think anything still on? I guess there
was a couple. Um my parents were big fans of
sixty minutes, so I watched that. I don't really watch
that much anymore than Sports Center. Sports Center. Yeah, uh
Center with sports Oh yeah, that's now it's preaching to you,
(48:28):
telling you how you're supposed to think. It's pretty good.
Uh oh, I got Simpsons, I guess would be one
that I still check out. I was younger when that started.
It's been on for like thirty years or whatever, So
I guess the Simpsons. You know, sometimes I always sometimes
I always go back on YouTube to watch old game
shows like I would watch Press Your Luck or Hollywood Squares.
(48:49):
I don't know if you remember that. Um Remote Control
is a good one on MTV, which was a game
show with two contestants, and then that it's basically Jeopardy
with music involved in pop culture. Yeah, those are some
good ones. Jeopardy. Yeah, Jeopardy's on game shows prices, right,
Let's make a Deal. I like to love that show.
(49:10):
They brought that back. It's like several different versions of
Let's make a Deal. Supermarket Sweep. I'll go, oh yeah,
Supermarket Sweeps occasionally on Uh. There's an old game show
channel that I have. I think it's called Buzzer. You
eat the channel Buzzer as I like just they just
put like old game shows, just like put old random game.
It's pretty cool, like from the seventies and the eighties.
And it's like, no way, I mean no way, I
(49:31):
mean no way, I mean no one have Concentration. The
game show Concentration was on there and a bunch of them,
which is pretty But he go and then occasionally, usually
like to two times a year, I'll fall into a
rabbit hole watching this weekend baseball twib notes around the majors.
The Cardinals are flying I in St. Louis. You know
that crap with mel Allen. We referenced that with the
(49:53):
great John Sterling who worked with mel Allen. So yeah, exactly.
So those are some of the shows. Carlos, thank you.
Maybe I'll meet Carlos if I come to Houston this
year to hang out and to see that. R J
and San Antonio says, what conspiracy theory do you believe in?
The most I got, there's a few of them that
I buy. The Roswell New Mexico UFO landing. I believe
(50:18):
that actually happened, and I believe that much of the
technology that we have today, the advancements in technology since
Roswell New Mexico, are related to that incident. I believe
that that deep state Tinfoil had conspiracy. As far as
sports are concerned, there's several conspiracies that I believe the
Patrick Ewing Draft lottery being rigged. Um that is, I've
(50:41):
heard from people in the NBA over the years that
actually did happen. Speaking of the NBA, the Michael Jordan
gambling suspension, I covered the NBA when he was suspended,
and that's what I had been told that and then
it came out they wrote a book. It was in
the book Sam Smith. I believe it has been the
one that mentioned that. So I absolutely believe that it
was a atto suspension for Michael Jordan for gambling and
(51:02):
hang out with some shady characters, and so they didn't
want to embarrass him, but they worked out a deal
so he can go play baseball for the White Sox
and all that. Of course, Jordan doesn't want that out
because he's he had all his buddies in the media
as a friends who were trying to cover for him.
And then the other one off the top of my
head is that cal Ripkin game when cal Ripkin hadn't
(51:23):
set the record for the Orioles for the most consecutive
games and he uh, the lights went out and he
he was supposed he got into a fight at his house.
There was a story involving Kevin Costner, and I don't
know whether the Costner part of it's true or not,
but something happened with Kyle Ripken where they had a
very convenient power outage only in that neighborhood in Baltimore,
(51:46):
and they couldn't get the power back on and they
canceled the game. And that was back when the Mariners
and Ken Griffey Jr. And Randy Johnson and Edgar Martinez,
they were a rock star team. The Mariners and the
Orioles had a good team. Still at that time. That's
way back in the way back machine when the Orils
were good. And now my friends sports with Coleman in
(52:06):
Baltimore swears he was he covered that that Oriel team.
He said, Oh, no, it's it's not It's not what
you think. But the reason I believe that to be
true is someone very close to the situation. Let's say,
uh is a friend of a friend, a friend of
a friend, right, So I have a buddy of mine
(52:26):
that works in television whose friends with somebody who's very
high up in the Orioles organization. The day after this happened,
that person told my friend, who then told me a
couple of degrees of separation what had happened. And it
was the same story that eventually came out later. And
this was before social media, you know, back in the
(52:48):
back in the nineties, but it was the same the
same concept, And so I absolutely believe the cow Riken
that they phone calls were made. It was so important
for baseball and so important for the Orioles in particular
to have Cal Ripken break Lou Garrick streak to get
fans back after the strike, that they turned out the
lights for a night and they figured it out, and
(53:09):
then cal was back in the lineup and he wasn't
gonna play. If that game had been played, he would
not have been in the lineup and that would have
ended the streak short of lou Garret. What about you?
I think sports wise, I could go with one real quick. UM.
Not as out there as many people will probably listen
to on sports related topics, but north of the border. Uh.
In when the ly Kings playing the Montreal Canadians and
(53:31):
the Stanley Cup Final, Uh, there's conspiracy theorists out there.
That's say that the Canadians sent a couple of trainers
or equipment managers inside the King's locker room after game
one and before game two with practices going on. UM,
and they inspected and found out that Martin McSorley had
an illegal stick blade. And if you recall, if anyone's
(53:52):
a hockey fan out there, game to the Stanley Cup
Final between the Kings and the Canadians, l A was
up a goal late in the third period. In Jacques Demurs,
the head coach of Montreal, cast stick yeah, stick measurement
he had illegal curve. Eric dejar Dan's tied the game. Uh.
With the power play goal and then wanted in overtime
(54:13):
with a hat trick and uh. And then Montreal won
the next three games after that and won the series
four games to one. So that's the one that kind
of stuck out to me, especially given the fact that
was close to home and ninety three was a hell
of a run. So is that similar to a baseball
manager being tipped off the star player the other team
has a core Corse bat, but waiting until said player
(54:36):
hits a home run. Yeah, to the worst one for me,
that was George Brett with the Pine Tar incident. I
never got that, Like, just because the pine tower is
too high up the shoft to the back by the
letter to the law and not to spirit the law,
by let law, you gotta do it. Yeah, it's gotta happen. Um, Alright,
(54:58):
let's see moving on on a than from Auburn Washington. Auburn,
Johnny says, what city was your favorite city to do
the Mallard Man marching? I know, what do you what
do you don't know? I haven't answered the question. How
the fund do you know? I haven't answered the question
because you don't know, you have no idea. Okay, if
(55:20):
you're you're gonna correct me if I'm wrong when I
say Seattle, because you had a first class ticket paid
for by a remember, and then you had all these
fat heads in the streets for your entire So it
was an amazing ego tactic situation there for me, and
it was a great tribute. I don't get a lot
of pats on the back, as you know, guests gone
from the company, but it was nice that when you're
(55:42):
playing victimhood now no, no, I'm just pointing that out.
It's not playing a victim. I'm just pointing that out
at all, you guess. And so it was nice too
that some appreciation was shown for the hard work that
we put into the show. But I had had a
great time in Seattle. Everyone was very nice there. It
was before the hostile takeover of Seattle by the Kook's,
uh so that was great. And I had fun in Boston.
(56:04):
I had a great time. I mean to me, it's
it's all the same. Anytime I get to go out
and hang out with fans of the show, and then
that's it's the whole Without people listening, we're I think
that's we're crazy, right, it's schizophrenia. When you're talking to yourself,
isn't a guest conswer. We need people to listen otherwise
they will diagnosis with mental illness. And you don't really
know when you're doing the show who's actually listening. So
(56:26):
it's always cool to meet people and hear their stories
and find out what their lives are like and the good,
bad and ugly from their lives. And so, John, I
have a feeling you were at the mallard Man March,
so you probably wanted to say that. But I had
a wonderful time in Boston with blind Scott and our
friend from from Southee, Wayne from Southee, and we are
the couple from Maine. As we had to like chase
(56:48):
away from a runaway from Wayne, and those are all
fund memories, great memories. So anyway, I guess that's my
way of not answering the question. But it's like it's
it's high and then we had some great one is
in Bakersfield, although that was a horrible ballpark and oppressively
hot night and all that, and uh, San Bernardino. We've
done these and I think it's three or four minor
(57:10):
league ballparks, and that's been fun. I look forward to
a time we can do them again, maybe sooner than later, hopefully.
Mr Luciato from Los Angeles writes in some mail bag
who is your favorite mobster? He says, who was your
favorite mobster? And if you had to choose a racket
to be in, which one would it? Be? All right?
(57:32):
So I'll go first on this guest, gan I guess
mythic gold mobster. I'd go Tony Soprano. I'd go Tony Soprano.
Real mobster Henry Hill, who I actually came across years ago.
He's dead now, But Henry Hill famously banged on the
door outside the Fox Sports Radio Showcase studios in Sherman
(57:52):
Oaks in the San Fernando Valley, drunker than drunk, trying
to get on the air. And I actually walked by him.
Are you on the radio? And I said, nope, not
on the radio, And I kept walking and he started
banging on the doors. I'm Henry F. Hill, I gotta
start it down, put me on the radio. He was
in the Witness Protection program at the time, and uh
(58:16):
yeah that. And then I also had a run in
with the guy claiming to be the son of Lucky Luciano.
The famous New York mobster. This guy that I had
a lemon. The malamobile was a lemon, and I had
to turn the car in and get a check. And
the guy that handled the paperwork claimed that he his
his mom was a mistress of Lucky Luciano and that
(58:40):
he is the product of that relationship. I'll go mobster wise,
I'll go al capone um and I don't think it
go wrong with de Niro or or Pesci back in
the day with good Fellas. I guess the white racket.
I want to be a part of his, like the
gambling racket, and just I don't know if it's either
in no bootlegging, you know what bootlegs I mean, man,
(59:00):
you can get I mean the way that you know
points are shaved and the inset information, especially because you
couldn't monitor it like we can now with telephone calls
and emails and things of that nature. Oh man, A
lot of money. Yeah, all right, we gotta wrap this up.
I mean, there's a couple of quick ones here, uh
(59:20):
stand from animal houses. My wife says the mask covering
my mouth isn't enough and told me to upgrade to
a ski mask. Should I be worried. Should I wear one?
Should I ask what color she would like me to wear?
Should I go to the bank with her? Help me? Please?
Ben stand? Yeah? How long are we gonna have to
wear these masks? Should I upgrade my mask game? I
(59:42):
feel like I need to upgrade my mask game. I
feel like I need to do that. You probably do.
It's like your hat collection, You probably need to upgrade that.
And I have a great hat, proud of my stance.
So you need to add more to your mask collection
now to be to match the hat. I have a
blue mask that's like matches my Brooklyn Dodgers at in
my l A Dodgers that could be offensive? Is that
(01:00:04):
offensively blue? Yeah? People are there's an itis. I'm sure
some kind of it is connected to that. Uh somewhere
along the way. Oh, here's a quick one. This is
from I don't think I didn't write his name. He says,
I'll be in Vegas this weekend with face mask mandates
being implemented just about everywhere. Should I bet a hundred
(01:00:24):
dollars on black or red? We can affect this guy's
life if we get this right. Guests, guys, So the
way I look at the roulette thing. I have my
own roulette system that I've done for years. I would
either do even or odd red or black, and I
usually when you bet, what I do is I bet
and then you lose. You double your bet. You lose that,
(01:00:44):
you double it again, you lose that you double because
eventually the numbers work out you have a forty seven
percent chance, right, believe on an even red or black
ot or even lower high. But isn't the line bet
on black? Isn't that the line you're supposed to be?
I'm going him all right, Listen, we didn't get to
all the other ones. Uh so, sir, scratch off Devon
(01:01:05):
Ethan Kentucky, j Nathan and all you other guys Andre
in Nashville. I just know we had your questions. We
were going to use them. Play it on Gascon. He's
Mr Mean over there. He's making us put. He's giving
me the wrap ups, and he's the third base coach
giving me the wrap up sign. Correct, Yes, I'm telling
you to go home now, all right, I'm done. Oh, yes,
(01:01:26):
that's right. I'm I'm back on furlough. By the way,
there's no there's a show tonight, but it's not gonna
be me as somebody else will be in. I think
Jonas is in for me tonight on the radar. I'll
be back tomorrow though my I'm only taking a couple
of furlough days this time. I'll take some of my
morning you know, in July, I'll probably end up taking
a few more long weekends to try to knock out
some of that furlough time before sports come back. But
(01:01:46):
to have a wonderful day. Anything we need to promote
here Gascon, anything we need to sell. Are we good? Yes,
we're good. Alright, have a wonderful rest of your weekend,
and thank you for all the support, and have a
great day.
