If you thought four hours a day dred minutes a
week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
(00:21):
pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, back at
it on a Saturday, and we thank you for downloading
supporting the Fifth Hour podcast, a big Bafo Sacho show.
(00:44):
If you are not entertained, you get your money back.
The price of admission is nothing. You just have to
have an Internet connection and find find the show on
the Worldwide Web. But we are here eight days a
week because four hours a night on the overnight not enough.
And this is all the things that we did not
have time to get to in the radio show. And
(01:05):
joined again by West of the four oh five David
guests Scott so Rather Rocket Servation. I guess it's been
a long time since we've been back here in the
(01:25):
magic Box. But it has been a long time, and
it would have been longer if I didn't have to
twist your armor. We took three weeks off because you
wanted to take three weeks off, So it wasn't my decision.
Was the first week I wanted to do it, you
didn't want to do it. The second week I didn't
want to do it, you didn't want to do it,
(01:46):
So we would have been one. And then this last
week I was planning on doing it, and then you know,
life gotten the way life. Life happens while you're making plans,
right has Sometimes life happens you don't want to happen,
and it happens. A little was a little down because
you typically would send me a daily picture of your
of your local pharmacy or doctor's office that would have
a line miles down the road with people. Well, that's
(02:12):
not gonna happen anymore. Guests got big news here, breaking
news on this podcast over the This is before my
my father unfortunately got sick and passed away. But before that,
I made a big purchase, A big purchase, Guest Guard,
I now own a treadmill. I own a treadmill at
(02:34):
the Mallard mansion. I have my own treadmill, which means
I will not be going outside walking. Yeah, there's this
testing facility for the Rhona that's right near the house,
and I would walk by there and the line would be.
For the last month, the line has been all the
way around the block and down the block, And so
I would take photos every day to show you gascon
(02:58):
and and say, I can't I still can't believe how
long that land. The line is still there. I drive
drive by it, It's still still long. And now who's
paying for the government paid for the test? By the
test are free, the coronavirus test are free, We're paying
for it. That's what I'm saying. No, I was trying
to think, like, because it's a small medical clinic that's
(03:19):
doing the testing near where I live, they must be
making a killing right there, getting a share of that, right,
I would think it has to be. They must be
the richest people in the neighborhood. They got. But I
did buy the treadmill. I'm excited about it. I had
to pick it up, though, and drive it back to
the Mallard mansion. I borrowed my father in law's truck
(03:39):
and uh we uh, me and the kid we went
out there. We put the thing in the back of
the truck. And I'd never tied anything down on the
back of a truck ever, certainly something not this big
that could fly out and kill someone. So I picked
it up in Orange County, and you know where I live.
I don't see where ither, but I live, uh, pretty
(04:01):
good distance away from there, east of the four or five,
yes east, way east of the four or five, closer
to Riverside than you. So anyway, I am making my
my trek back. And I decided I did not trust
that I had tied this thing down properly, even though
it seemed like it was tied down Properly's massive, huge treadmill.
(04:22):
So I took surface streets all the way back. I
did not get on the Interstate the highway there. I
took surface streets. I drove slow. I drove in the
slow lane. People were passing me by. I was the
old guy you know that everyone hates and all that.
I was that guy. But I made it back. But
then the problem was the thing wouldn't fit into the house.
It's a big treadmill. So I had to get my
(04:44):
neighbor my guy Tony had to come over my neighbor.
He's a good handyman guy. I'm not that good with
that guy. So we had to take apart the treadmill
to get it into the house. It's that big a
thing we did would not fit through the door. Interesting. Yeah,
but I love it. I've been I I can go
on there and I can ten teen minutes here there,
you know, and it's pretty cool. This is a dangerous
proposition for you, though, because not only are you domesticated
(05:09):
by being married, but now you're really you're really hunkered down.
You're you're confining yourself. That's true. The only time I
would get out of the house was to go for
a walk, and now I don't get out of the
house now I just stay in the house all the time. Yeah.
So you don't go to Costco anymore either, right? Uh? No?
I go to Costco usually once a week on the
on the weekends. But I used to go there religiously
(05:31):
every weekend just eat samples. I would go on a
sample run. I would hit two or three Costcos on
a Saturday morning afternoon, eating the sample. Yeah, this is
this is dangerous for you. I I I don't know
how I feel about it just yet, because it's good work.
And you can obviously elevate the treadmill and increase speeds
and decrease it any given time, and you can see
(05:52):
your your calories being reduced. But you're you're not out
there with mother nature anymore. You're not out and about
You're not. Yeah, yeah, I mean I guess I should
a couple of days still go for a walk with
your dog, right, No, no, Bella, Bella is not a
walking dog. Bella is a lap dog. Bella does not
believe in, oh man, any physical exercise. But Bella does
(06:14):
believe in waking me up. That is uh, that is true. Yeah,
you know, randomly, and I sleep during the day. Oh yeah,
painting the ass. Yeah. Do you have a dog? Guess
you don't have a dog. I did not. I sisters do.
We used to have one as as kids. But no
dog right now? Too much, too much taken care of. Yeah,
(06:35):
I don't know. Well, get like a small you know,
I get a big dog. You get a small dog. Yeah,
but big dogs, little dogs, they all take big ships.
Now the little dogs don't take big ships. They just
ship a lot, meaning often little small ships. Yeah. But
then they shed, you're gonna buy them food and wash
them and walk them. Bella doesn't shed that much. The
(06:55):
ship suits don't shed that much. Poodles don't shed at all,
that I believe. I don't like the that's not a
very masculine dog. I can't be rocking a ship su
Who the funk cares I do? I can't A middle
aged man, I can't. I can't rock a poodle either,
you know, you know, twenty years old word about trying
to get chicks, like like a border collie or a
pitbull or rockweiler, like those are dogs. Maybe a wolf?
(07:20):
How about that? Let me tell you something that I
don't know if dog parks are open, but that used
to be a place my buddies used to go with
the dog to pick up the ladies because every you know,
they love asking questions about the dogs. That's great instant
chick magnet. Right, Yeah, that's that's also a sign your
relationships getting serious. Guest, when you're dating someone for a
while and they're like, let's get a dog together, that's
(07:41):
a son. Would you rather do that though, or have
them move in with you? How old? Am I? What's
the situation? What's my living situation. I'm gonna say, I'm
gonna say this is pre pre your wife. Yeah, it was.
It was a tough adjustment. I had my routine. I
was about actually for the last you were in the
heart of l A. Yeah, I was living in l
(08:03):
I living my best life, going to games, eating junk food,
living wonderfully. And uh, yeah, it was difficult. I think, well,
I'm used to it now. I think if I went back,
I would have a hard time, like to the bachelor lifestyle,
so I would. I'm so used to my routine now. Yeah,
that's a that's a real challenge. Dog is one thing,
especially if you get attached. But man, if you move
(08:25):
in with her, she moves in with you. That's that's
a tough break whenever the relationship does come to its demise. Yeah,
and then the dog ends up in the kennel right there,
the dogs like I will send the dog to the
kennel and get rid of it. That kind of thing.
I think you're more inclined to give it to the female,
or at least she'll ask for it because she knows
that will break you. Yeah, there's a lot of vitriol
(08:49):
that takes place right the feuding and all that. All right,
So we have on this edition of the Parties we
have pop quiz, guestcut Big Pop. Are you excited about?
Is there anything else you would like to get you
before pop quiz? Is there anything else on your agenda here?
Anything you've been saving? You've been we've been away for
three weeks. Did you do anything over the three weeks?
I went to Sequoia, uh, and I had a wonderful
(09:11):
time and it was just great. And I love going
to the I was in the snow for a few
days and had a really good time. And I love
the Giant Force my one of my favorite places to visit.
So I had a good time. Did you go anywhere?
Did you do anything? I? Um? I went to the
firing range a couple of times, kept my kept my
trigger finger happy. Um. How many? How much do bullets cost?
(09:33):
I have no idea how you want? You go to
the firing range? You don't? How's it? How's it worked?
Did you have to bring your own bullets? Or yeah?
The trick is it's just like when you go to
Vegas and you go to the casino. Don't do it
when you don't have any money, because if you go
to an a t M. You know they're charging you
four or five dollars um a transaction. If you if
you go to a store first and then buy them
and then go to the range, you're in much better shape.
(09:55):
So like a box. So you go to the rage
with your gun obviously, and how does it work you
you have the bullets with you or you buy them there.
You have to buy them there? No, Yeah, if you
buy them there, they're a lot more expensive than if
you buy and buy them at a store. So I
always buy them at a store, bring them with you obviously, goggles,
some ear gear, and then um, and then your your weapon.
(10:18):
They'll usually provide you with a couple of targets for
a charge, and then if you want to buy some
specialized targets, that's usually a dollar or two dollars depending
on that. So certain ranges though, were strict that they
only a light is sitting there and fire for thirty minutes.
Others will be in there for an hour, and then
they obviously keep you know, separation six ft apart, so
every other lane has occupied just like a bowling lane. Um,
(10:41):
but yeah, bowling alleys are closed, are they? Yeah? I
didn't know that shooting the shooting ranges are open. They
are oh yeah, indoor, some outdoor. I haven't been to
an outdoor in a while. So, but a box of bullets,
how much does that cost? So for a hundred rounds,
it was about eighty six dollars when I when I
bought them back in July August. It is it's supply
(11:04):
to man, but I went a couple of days ago
and a box of a hundred or a box of
a hundred now is like six Okay, So it's gone down. Yeah,
it certainly has so by those on Amazon or no,
just local stores. Yeah. Because the other thing too, it's
a kicker, is if you're in the state of California,
you can't buy magazines that allow you to have more
(11:26):
than ten bullets in a magazine. We have restrictions here
in the state. Okay, so you're you're limited to two
ten bullets per magazine. So you have to go to
like Oklahoma or Alabama or somewhere in Nevada wherever it
may be. Yeah, but if you do that, that's the
thing you have to claim residency there. So it's a
whole process. And then on top of that, when you
buy bullets. You actually got to go through a background
(11:47):
check to do a background check that usually takes like
fifteen minutes or so when you're there, and then they
allow you to buy the bullets after that. But it's
a dollar every time you do a background check too,
So it's a whole process. Anyone says that's a lot
of red tapement. Yeah, Anyone says buying a gun is
easy doesn't know what the fun they're talking about. Well,
if you do it legally, it's easy. If you do
it on the street, it's not that. Well, know what
(12:08):
I'm saying, Like, you know, you know guy, you know
the black market for guns, You can find a gun. Yeah,
but when I purchased my first weapon, it took me
nearly forty five days. Yeah, but I'm saying you did
it legally, you went through a gun shot. I'm saying,
like most of them, I guess I'm I'm going down
that road. But I would assume a lot of the
guns that are used to do really nasty things are
(12:30):
not bought legally, you know what I mean. They're bought
via back channels, and they're people avoiding big brother who
knows somebody who knows somebody to get around those obstacles. Yeah,
that's true. I did. I did call a couple of
college basketball games, and I had to do it with
a mask on. About that, that's very al Michael's of you.
(12:52):
Oh my gosh. Remember when A Michaels Yes in San Francisco, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
in Santa Clara. Yeah, geniuses in Santa clar County thought
al Michael sitting by himself in a booth thousands of
feet away from anyone, that he needed to have a
mask hunt. Yeah, we were. We were actually not permitted
to be courtside. We had to go all the way
(13:12):
up the stands and me and the colored commentary were
probably a good twenty five ft apart on these elevated tables,
and we had to do stand ups, which are based
like the on camera shots. We had to do the
do those separated, and we had to do those with
our mask on, and then call the action with their
mask on too, And the arena is empty, there's no
(13:34):
nobody there. Yeah. How weird was it to call the game?
I would be self conscious because I think the players
are hearing what I'm saying. So I did that last year. Yeah,
I did that last year during the Big West Conference tournament.
We were courtside. I was actually one of the final
games to call um that night before they shut it
everything down, and I was loud as fuck and I
(13:54):
was doing I was doing a radio call, and during
the radio call, the people that were on TV for ESPN,
they came over to me and they're like, hey, can
you tone it down? Your calls bleeding into our on
air call. That's outstanding. Yeah, and it's see, I'm glad
you don't care, because I remember when I was doing
those stringing reports and be covering baseball and stuff in
(14:16):
the press box and the way it works, the first
two rows were the writers, and then the back row
were the people that dunce capped the radio guys. Radio row,
it was in the back. So you call into a
radio station back when you used to do these things
at the top bottom the hour, and you'd be screaming
for like thirty forty seconds, you know, giving details of
the score, and it would always upset the writers. In fact,
(14:37):
some of the cities on the East Coast when I
was traveling with the Dodgers, I know in New York
and several other places, they segregated the press box they had.
The writers had their own press box, and the radio
TV guys had a separate press box to keep the
radio guys because the writers were such douchebags, they could
not handle thirty second updates. It was too distracting for them.
(14:57):
For these pullet surprise winning sto worries about a Phillies
game or you know, an Orioles game. It was like,
really gave Night, which you know, beyond the game story.
I know they don't even do many game stories these days,
but who the hell was reading that? You know, you
know what I'm saying. You look at the box score.
You want to see the other stuff that was going on.
(15:18):
You weren't reading the game story. Forget about that, my goodness. Yeah,
speaking of which I was, I was navigating around the
social media universe and doing some homework. I thought, I
thought Benny versus a Penny in the NFL regular season
was good, and what we're what we're closing thoughts on that?
I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed doing it.
(15:38):
I figured out kind of the way that the internet
needed to work. After about twelve thirteen weeks, I finally
figured out what we needed to do there to scheme
up the internet, and yeah, it was. We had a
good group of loyal brigadier generals in the malle Militia
that that left the radio show in the podcast and
you really are like the one percent to the one
(16:00):
percent if you're hanging out with us on a Friday
night on YouTube and the Yeah, the audience grew. We
had more people watching as the season went on, and
a lot of people didn't even watch it live. And
the chat was a big selling point where we read
the comments even though you were annoyed. I kept reading
so many comments, but that was a pathway to get
more people involved, and then people would would would would
(16:23):
listen to our sacred picks are my sacred picks throughout
the weekend, So it was it was fun. I know,
we're talking about doing some other things and all that.
I I because of my situation with my dad, um
my weekends pretty much for the rest of time. Apparently
they're gonna be to take care of his affairs and
to clean out the Mallard family house and all that.
(16:44):
So I only have a couple of days, so I
don't know that we'll be able to do that anytime soon.
But when we do, well, you know, there's other sports
that we can do Benny versus bennybody. I would like
to do it at least for the super Bowl. If
we can't. You know, we can't do it up until then.
It was only a couple of weeks of a football
before the super Bowl. But I'd like to do that.
And uh, it was a lot of fun. You you,
(17:05):
you and my wife convinced me to get a green screen,
which is a big step in my life. And uh,
I have that. I own a green screen, so I
feel cool and all that. And you had the attire
and then you got ridiculed for some unknown reason. I'm
wearing an Iowa Hawkeye hat. Um. Yeah, there was there's
some good headway that we made and uh, yeah it was.
(17:25):
It was a lot of fun. I think that the
Super Bowl would be a good one. And uh, always
random when you see dudes on a chat criticizing the
host for what they're wearing or what they look like.
Odd to me, right, I just well, it's human human nature,
right people are people are like to bust each other's
(17:46):
balls anyway, That's what we do in the Mallem Militia.
We bust each other's balls. But you know the you
look at the tenants of human nature, and vanity is
one of right. Like laziness, you try to find the
easy road. Greed, you want to get the most you
can get. That's why you supersize your fast food meal ambition,
although not everyone seems to have that this day. Uh,
(18:06):
self interest, self interest, ignorance, and vanity. Those are the
six characteristics of human nature. Advantage of parts. So if
you can if you can attack someone else's vanity right
their appearance or you know they don't have money, or
they don't you know, they're not intelligent, that's a big attack.
That's how that's how social media exists, is for people
(18:27):
to attack other people's vanitages carried over to the politics.
I think that it will be huge when you're all
done with with what you're doing your dad's I think
you're gonna have to attend a couple of trade shows.
Something just tells me you're gonna have some really good stuff. Storage. Yeah,
we're debating, like how much of that. I have so
(18:48):
much that I could sell, but it takes such a
long time to do it, so and you gotta have
storage for it. I mean, there's a lot of a
lot of moving parts like a pinball machine, right, a
lot moving fast to it to get it, to get
it done. So we'll find out how motivated I am.
But I did find my my parents. My mom had
passed away, and my dad just kind of didn't touch anything.
(19:13):
You know. He's like he wanted the house the same
way you want to live in the house till he died.
And I'm glad he was able to do that. Um,
but he didn't clean much and so it was really
it's like a Mallard museum my my house going through
it and uh, you know, my mom was very sentimental
and kept everything and uh, and so it's it's been
(19:34):
been interesting seeing stuff. I mean, the photos are obviously
the most important. So a lot of that stuff covered
dust or whatever in the clause, buried in the closet
and all that. So I would like to thank your
old man, very nice a note from your father, the
patriarch of the Gascon family, and very kind of of
him to send that. The David Gascon Felly, not the
(19:56):
not the not the George Gascon. We're not Gilant officers
getting shot at in the head and then allowing them
to watch God free. So we're a little bit different there.
How how not good for you? But how the just
the comedy value that your father a respected member of
law enforcement, the l A p D. I ran the
l A p D for a few years, and here's
(20:16):
this guy, hold my beer get the same name was
it apparently doesn't believe in law in order, you know,
wants to be a bad guys to run free. So it's, uh,
it's interesting, interesting juxtaposition. I would say, yes, I knew
it was a deep ship when Reuben got off that
podcast a few weeks ago. It's like, you need to
change your name holy ship. Yeah, well it is something
(20:43):
when you're just like, the district attorney is a local
position typically, right, it's not a national position. So when
the nation is talking about what an incompetent stooge this
guy is, you know you've reached a special level of
insanity when pell country, can you believe what this idiot
in l A is doing with the Oh my goodness,
(21:04):
we might have a d A in l A. And
a governor in California recalled him the same year. Be wonderful.
I fully support. Uh, you know, they can have the
recall vote, can be at the French laundry. They can
have that. You can have a voting because that's where
he likes to eat his meals. When he tells everyone
not to go out, he can go there. King of
(21:28):
all douchebags, the Governor of California with a winking and
not at the Governor of New York and several other
locale speaking of the news, Did your dad Was your
dad a newspaper collector? Was he? Indeed? He did keep
you know, my dad collected pennies and uh stamps. Uh,
he liked, you know, a few coins. Stamps. His dad,
my grandfather, his father obviously was a stamp collector, so
(21:52):
that my dad he picked that up. You know, I'm
trying to think of some ways I can honor my father,
you know, because he's not around anymore, and I was.
I became pretty close with him. I wasn't as close
growing up. I was my mama's boy, but then the
last few years as my mom passed, I talked to
him every night and became very close. I'm trying to
think of like ways to honor my dad. So he
(22:12):
wore suspenders, so I think when I dress up, I'm
gonna wear suspenders. So people ripped me in goof on me,
but I'm worse suspenders now as a tribute to my dad,
and then I'm gonna donate blood. My dad loved donating blood,
and uh, it was it was always odd to me
because I was like if all the things of all
the mission guys donated, But it was like a connection
to his father because my my grandfather also donated blood.
(22:34):
And so every three months, my dad would donate blood
and with the Red Cross, and it was his his deal.
And he got very upset a few years back because
he was on some medicine that would not allow him
to donate blood. So he was able to get off
that medicine and this was like a big deal to him,
even when he was sick. Uh, you know, before he passed,
(22:55):
we we were I didn't think he was going to pass.
It was unexpected. I thought he would be okay. But
we were having normal conversations and he was like, I
gotta donate blood, you know, the whole thing. So I'm
gonna I'm gonna donate blood. But my my dad, I
was kidding with. My brothers were like, if only our
father had collected dollar bills instead of pennies, we'd be
much better off. You know, we'd be much better off.
(23:16):
And he also, my dad loved two dollar bills. Yes,
he loved two doll bills. And so I for the
rest of my life I ever learned that is I
will always have two dollar bill in my in my
wallet as a tribute to my old man, because he
he loved. He loved the expressions he would get when
he'd go to buy something at the store, which like
(23:38):
a buck, and he'd give the person at the check,
especially in recent years, he'd give them the two dollar
bill and a lot of people had no idea how
it was fake. Yeah, you know, because who they A
lot of people even realize there's a two dollar bill.
And so he always loved the reaction he would get
out of people when he'd hand them a two dollar
bill to pay for something that it was not real.
So I loved two dollar bills. I do think that
(23:58):
you carrying on his legacy. It's fitting if he's a
penny collector, and you, dude, penny versus the pennies, that
is true, that is accurate. I have. I have as
many pennies I was. I was was getting around with
the wife and my brothers, you know, talking about my
dad said, I believe now we can end the national
coin shortage with all the pennies that maybe my my
dad collected over the years, and these big jugs of
(24:20):
like these apple juice jugs filled with pennies, which I
think each jug probably maybe has I don't know, ten
bucks in it, but it's a lot, you know, it's
more than that, but a lot of All right, So
we have pop quiz. You want to get the pop
quiz right now? A right here we go pop quiz
and these are things that we find around the internet
that we quiz. Gascon on and YouTube can play along.
(24:41):
So the first person, the number one person in the
world in this sport has earned over nine million dollars
in prize money. What sport is in prize money? Over
nine million dollars. Do do do do do chess? Chess? Alright,
(25:05):
that is incorrect. Darts, all right, darts. There must be
some places where darts are a big deal. But to me,
darts are always like you're eating beer nuts at the
bar and you're with your buddies, and yeah, darts gotta
be big in Europe, right Europe or in Ireland, I
mean Europe. There island England or England, England or Island.
(25:31):
I've got to know, Uh, it was the last time
you played darts. I haven't played darts since I lived
in San Diego. A bunch of my buddies were all
former Marines, and so they'd go to a local dive
and it was always, like you said, peanuts and darts,
shuffle board, um and a little galagha. Never never failed
with those cats. We had a dartboard at one of
the Ugly Sweater parties one year, and there are a
(25:54):
few people playing darts. But I don't know what happened
to that dartboard somewhere run alright. According to a new survey,
nearly fifty of people admit that they talked to this
inanimate object. What is it? Remote control? No, my guess
was wrong. I guess the slot machine, like you're in
(26:15):
a casino in your left, big money, big. But it
was actually an a t M machine, which is kind
of like a slot machine, excepted have the money to
come out of the machine. Why would you talk to
an a t M machine? Though, that's a great question.
I don't I don't know what would the well, the
remote control, It's like why the fund is this thing working,
the batteries working. Move you're stupid, chantely, I'll start shaking it.
(26:37):
That's a good question. I don't know. Uh, it doesn't
say all right. According to a recent study, Monday, this
coming Monday, January January in is the best day of
the year to do this. Martin Luther King did ye
oh barbecue buy a car? Wait? Why? I guess they
(27:06):
have the sale. I don't know. It just says that's
the day of all the days of the year. That's
doesn't make sense to me either, right, wouldn't you think
that the summertime don't peep at most people buy cars.
Maybe it's because most people do buy cars during the
summer and not in mid January. Yeah, they say the
best time to buy a house is usually during the
holiday season because people don't want to sell their homes
(27:28):
during the holiday season, or they don't want to go
through the whole the whole gamut of of doing that
kind of a transaction, so they usually just kind of
lower their guard a little bit. Springtime, summertime, the housing
markets out of control, which is odd because it seems
like a lot of people in California, a lot of
people leaving California. But the housing market is still insanity. Man.
We get a lot of people that are are migrating East, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Arizona. Yeah,
(27:56):
that's crazy. I don't blame him. I don't. I don't
blame him. Uh. In fact, you know the neighbor that
I grew up with, and she she lives in the house,
the same house that my my parents owned. Um and
she's leaving. She's going to Dallas. She's she's been in
California whole life. She's moving to Dallas. She's had enough
of King Newsome and all the bullcrap rules. I said,
(28:17):
I'm I'm jealous. I said, I am jealous. I got
a cousin that lives in Idaho and he told me
that over the last couple of weeks he had two
people neighbors that sold his house their houses to other
people from California. And those people came in with all
cash offers. Whoa really interesting. They just said they need
(28:38):
to get the funk out of town. I was like,
where they coming from is in San Francisco. Yeah, well,
we'll see what what happens, all right. The Grand Champion
Rand championship brother Grand championship for this sport, something that
pretty much all of us have done, is held every
year in Michigan. M's something pretty much everyone has done.
(29:04):
It's just I don't know that you would. It's not
a traditional sport, how about that? Yeah, um, do do
do do do do do do? Not a tradition. I
can't say something whack like croquet batmanton. Um, well you
said those. I like that. You you can't say them
while you said them. Well, I know, but as a guess, Um, yeah,
(29:27):
I don't know. Hackey sack uh No. Stone skipping that's
good though. Hasn't every kid done that? Though? You go
to the lake or the ocean, You're like, let let
me see if I can throw the rock and have
it skip across the Yeah the way there? Yeah, Lake
Arrowhead is a good spot to do that up near
(29:48):
or at Tahoe. Yeah, Taho. It's like an eight hour
dry but it's a good I've got fresh powder up
there too, so wintertime or summer is good. Taho. Is
that you like the Nevada side or the caliph You say,
I like the Nevada side because they have gamma. Yeah, yeah,
all right, in the nineteen twenties, we ate about twenty
pounds of this year. Now it's only about six mm
(30:11):
hmm from twenty to six cabbage. Cabbage. You know that
is incorrect, But I've been experiment I'm glad you brought
that up. Um, I've been experimented a lot using butter
more and then sometimes less on steaks. Oh is that right? Yeah?
(30:36):
My steak game is A plus. Now it was good,
it was B B plus, but now it's a it's
it's really sound kind of like an elitist there this No, No,
it's not. I mean the cooking is elite, Yes, the
skills are refined, like you'd be proud of me. I
don't know that proud would be the adjective that I
would use. But you do sound pretentious, I think is
(30:58):
the word No that like a stop. Anyone who's anyone
could cook a steak, But shouldn't it be something you
don't advertise and it just people find out about it
because you cooked them the steak. In today's world, just
that you've just broadcasted. So you sound like a dude.
And in today's world, how many people are getting together
for a fine meal or any kind of meal. Apparently
(31:23):
some are right, I don't know what's going on. They're
they're having their power shut off. Would you rat out
a neighbor if they had a party of like forty
or fifty people, No, I would not, would you know?
I'm probably good Joan. Oh, there's there's always that crowd
of every neighborhood's got it. The busy body, all right,
the busy body. It's got a medal in everyone else's business,
(31:46):
and we've all got and some people got nothing going
on in their lives. You know. It's the people that
you know exactly when the maleman is gonna come by
or when the trash is going to be picked up,
because they got they don't have a lot of things
going on. Yeah, you get that one person that's always
it's out and about, like first thing in the morning,
watering their grass and observing people driving by or walking
by just to see what they're up to. Yeah, exactly.
(32:09):
And it was it's like it's annoying, but you kind
of meddle in other people's business and impose themselves and
leave me alone. No need to poke your nose in
in my business. Okay, stop. It's like I learned in
Scooby Doo. Right, if it weren't for you meddling kids,
my life would be a lot easier. All right, let's
(32:30):
see what is next to your six percent of people
in a long distance relationship have this in common? What
is it? They like to be alone? Nope, they have
never met oh Man Titel. Yeah, there you go. I
can't believe ESPs. That's gotta because that's gotta because of
(32:51):
the Internet though, right, I think it's more now because
the Internet you can have you can meet someone playing
a video game or in a you know, not chat
room but on social medi to you and not actually
ever physically meet them, at least for a while, because
of geographically being undesirable. That's true. That's just well. I mean,
ESPN had that documentary that they resurfaced a few days ago.
(33:11):
I think it was just before the National Championship game
with Man Titel and all that bullshit with him and
it's fake girlfriend. One of the great nights of radio
we had. We also had a mant Our radio roast,
which was awesome. But I found out I was in
Vegas and I was driving back from Vegas and the
story came out. I think it was dead Spin had
(33:33):
the story back before they went full crazy town on
that website. But they they had the story, and all
every update got it got better and better. It got
better and better than Brian Kelly handing out a game
ball to man Tito's fake dead girlfriend was outstanding. It
was unreal. Oh so wonderful. Oh man, he's still bouncing
(33:59):
around the NFL. Where is he? He He was in New
Orleans Saints. Yeah, yeah, you know the Saints. Yeah, so
they're still You could go to the Super Bowl. Probably not,
but he could this year. All right, of women say
this is their partner's worst habit. What is it? Belching? No,
this seems odd to me. I've I've not done this,
leaving a wet towel on the bed. Oh you don't
(34:22):
do that. No, And I usually leave the towel in
the bathroom. I I dry off in the bathroom and
then leave the towel there. Oh man, I never did.
But see you. You use the same towel over and
over again. That's why. No, no, no, no. I have
three towels. I use each twice and then I wash. Yeah,
I have a three day towel rotation. But they're all
in the bathroom, So I use you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
(34:46):
wash and then got you. Yeah, I do that all
the time. It's a bad habit of mine, especially because
you know, if I used to the towel get into bed,
I can understand that would be annoying. That bed gets
a little damp and you're laying down and yeah, are
in a new survey of single ladies that they are
(35:08):
looking for a partner who is good at this sex?
I'm guessing that's how about how about cooking? No, it's
actually being a handy man fixed crap. Well, I I
lose in that department. I lose. Are you a handyman? Guest? Count?
Are you able to fix stuff? Yeah? But I mean
(35:28):
with the power of YouTube you can. You can learn
those things right away. Yeah. You can fake it till
you make it. You can fake it till you make it. Yeah,
absolutely all right. Over fifty percent of men have lied
about this on the first date. What is it their
sex count? Uh? No, how much they work out? Oh?
Everyone lies about not man? Well not not here you
(35:52):
go popping up again? Just you know, I made you
gonna gonna get that stuff in. Man, The belligerent Guestcott's
there's one thing I do not lie about. It's one
thing I don't lie about. I was working out, okay,
Donna's okay, chisel out of stone. Hey listen, you need
some kind of therapy, right, So going out and seeing
(36:13):
the beach a little bit, or go to the park.
You gotta have that ship, especially today's world. Man, Yeah, okay,
what good for you? Uh, let's see here, what do
we got? Percent of people say they use this excuse
to get out of exercising. There he goes ties into
the same thing. Yeah, Um, can't work out because of
(36:35):
blank my clothes are dirty. No, the weather, Oh, the weather.
I was. I drove by a gym. I was donating
some stuff at the in Orange County, some of my
my parents stuff, some of the old clothes and stuff.
So I was driving by the donations thing. There was
a gym in Orange County and it was open. I
(36:56):
didn't realize they were open in Orange County. But there
was a line a round the building. I guess they
only allow a certain number of people in. Yeah. Set
all these people wearing their gym clothes, standing in line,
looking at their smartphones, waiting to be allowed into the gym.
That's unbelievable. A couple of the gyms that I know
about are they moved all their stuff outside and it's
(37:18):
nearly the same thing where they're only having it tapered
off for UH specific groups at a time, so you
can only get in there for like thirty or forty
five minutes of pop and then after that you you
gotta get out. So the gym's around where I live
or not not open at all. But I'm I'm done
with the gym. I got my treadmill now Gascon, so
I'm good. I'll need to go to the gym anymore.
(37:39):
You need some weights, man, gott My wife's got a
few weights in there. We got like a little mini
Mallard gym, little home gym type thing. Yeah, well whatever
was it's good. Listen, it's all right. I'll see the
gym memberships, painting the ascid. I will miss the sauna.
I's like going in the sauna and the steam room
and steam rooms great. I love the steam room. Me.
(38:00):
I sweat a lot, get a good sweat going. I'll
deal with it. I'll survive my life. Will We'll go on.
I've made it almost a year, without going to the gym.
So I think I'll be okay in the night. In
the nineteen thirties, a guy could make a hundred dollars
a week commission selling this, which is the equivalent of
eighteen hundred dollars today. How about that you can make
(38:21):
eighteen hundred dollars a week in the nineteen thirties selling
this toasters Good Humor ice cream They're the famous Good
Humor ice cream bars. No you don't know? No, got
guess on what? Lack of knowledge? Bad job by you?
The Good Humor ice cream truck legendary in the nineteen
(38:41):
twenties and thirties. Man, it was part of pop culture
in America. I think up in the fifth Yes, these
come on shaved. These were so good. Yeah, they call them,
they call them sales cars. They call them the ice
cream trucks. Yes, what we're your favorite? I love the
(39:03):
chocolate chip sandwich, you know, with the uh oh that
I love. I still love. That's one of my favorite
ice cream desserts. What was your face? You let me
get a strawberry? You like that strawberry? Strawberry was good.
The cookies and cream was really good. Those are probably
my favorites. But my my grandma lived on the bootleg
part of San Pedro, so that ghetto part. They always
(39:26):
had those ice cream trucks going up and down the
streets always. I remember the cookie, the Good Humor cone
with the it had the scoop of vanilla, but then
it had the chocolate with the nuts on it there. Yeah,
that was all. We always got that a lot. They
would experiment. It was always big. You play Little League,
and then the ice cream truck, the Good Humor truck. Yeah,
(39:49):
that's good, good money though. How about that the teen
hundred bucks a week selling ice cream. It's pretty good.
Sign me up for that. That you could go from
there to working in and out and being a manager,
working making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Although I'll
be careful because there was a guy at the gym
when I was speaking of the gym who worked his
(40:10):
way up for making French fries in and out into
a management position. But then he got to a certain
age and they pole axed him. He got, he got
like he's convinced it was because he was making too
much money and he was too old, and they got
rid of him. That sucks, alright, eighty percent of men
admit they get embarrassed when they order this at a restaurant. Shake. Yeah, no,
(40:35):
it's a type of drink. Oh um, can't be a
martini a Cosmopolitan. I guess it could be a Martine Cosmopolitan.
No diet soda? What? Yeah? Alright, so you have no
shame in your game though you you order the diet soda. Yeah,
I mean I haven't had diet soda in a long time. No, what,
that's weird. Just point out that's the that's the deal.
(40:58):
Point that out interesting. All right, I got a time
for a couple more. According to a new survey, eight
percent of people say they never do this. What is
it to an item that we all have? But they
never do this with that? Im mm hm um, plug
their nose, Harris, clean their phone. Okay, when's the last
(41:21):
time you cleaned your phone? I haven't cleaned it for
a long time. Neither. By yeah either by all right.
Last one of the people who own one of these
nine percent overwhelming percent say they'd buy another one next
time they need one. Um fuck? Uh fuck? Is that
(41:49):
the answer is that the I'm trying to think of
what this could possibly be? What could it possibly I'll
give it. Okay, electric car, Now, I've a theory on this,
all right. And I had an electric car that was
a lemon, so I had to get rid of it.
The Alutmobile was a lemon. But the reason you would
(42:09):
keep buying electric cars typically you put the infrastructure in,
put a charging unit in your house. You know, if
you live in a house, you put a charging unit.
So why would you invest that You wouldn't want to
keep using that power, so you would get another electric car. Yeah,
and I'd be willing to get another electric car once
the mileage gets a little bit higher, because I don't
(42:32):
I don't think they go even the Tesla's what's the
range on a Tesla? That's good? Es? Why am I
asking you? I don't know. I don't I don't have
a Tesla. Um, that's that's one of the things you're missing.
West of the four oh five. Yeah, this one says
four and two miles for a TESTA models fo miles. Yeah,
(42:56):
that's all. I mean, they can get to six D.
I mean, what do you get your five hundred? I
get like five hundred on my car. No way, you
get five hundred. Yeah, that's around five hundred. Give it
take compending how I drive. Yeah, man, I get like
two eight five. Yeah, I have a few. I have
a it's a hybrid car that I have, but it's
(43:16):
not an electric car. When I had the electric car,
it only went like it was like two hundred miles
or something like that. You didn't that was it. I
will go on long drives on in the summer, you
know'll go all over California and Nevada or whatever and
paying the ask to drive two hundred miles and then
stop for half an hour an hour and charge your car.
(43:38):
And I was like, what is that. I need to
borrow your car? Want to make long drive ship? You're
making out like a bandit. Well, I'm not driving anywhere now,
so I know. But when you do, I mean, even
to the studio, you're you know, you're not well. Next
time you get a car, gask and you got a
big truck, why don't you try to find a car
that's fuel efficient so when you drive to the end
of California you will not be spending as much of
(44:00):
gas because I usually put a lot of things in
my car, and small sedans like the one you have.
Just don't sit wealth with me, all right, well, you
have to pick. You pick your battles. But your car
is reliable to You've had that for a long time, right, Yeah,
it's pretty good. I get service and whatnot. It's I've
had no no issues with this. I had one. I
(44:22):
had one and we it was a malfunction that we
got fixed and since then nothing's nothing's been been bad
about it. So get your wife a Tesla. I want
to see the mists of the tesla her. Get her
a new kitchen. Get her a Tesla. Yeah, doesn't got
leave have a Tesla. I think it does. Got leave
(44:42):
have a he lives in Orange County or something. Now,
it wasn't like testing. I think Rob Parker has neither
that or a Rover. I forget what Rob has. You
guys just have these massive I don't have a man.
I have a I have a sedan. It gets good
gas midge, I used to have. I I drove fe
fifty for you. He explorer. Um, I always said my
(45:04):
mom she was like she convinced, she was very paranoid
about me driving, about accidents. So she's like, you gotta
get a big car. You're a big guy. You gotta
get a big cars Like Okay, mom, I'll get a
big car, so she I always had big, big cars
only up until like the last maybe ten years or so,
when I when I went over to the to the
(45:24):
dark side. Interesting. Yeah, absolutely, all right. Well that's it,

week because four hours a night on the overnight not enough.
And this is all the things that we did not
have time to get to in the radio show. And
(01:05):
joined again by West of the four oh five David
guests Scott so Rather Rocket Servation. I guess it's been
a long time since we've been back here in the
(01:25):
magic Box. But it has been a long time, and
it would have been longer if I didn't have to
twist your armor. We took three weeks off because you
wanted to take three weeks off, So it wasn't my decision.
Was the first week I wanted to do it, you
didn't want to do it. The second week I didn't
want to do it, you didn't want to do it,
(01:46):
So we would have been one. And then this last
week I was planning on doing it, and then you know,
life gotten the way life. Life happens while you're making plans,
right has Sometimes life happens you don't want to happen,
and it happens. A little was a little down because
you typically would send me a daily picture of your
of your local pharmacy or doctor's office that would have
a line miles down the road with people. Well, that's
(02:12):
not gonna happen anymore. Guests got big news here, breaking
news on this podcast over the This is before my
my father unfortunately got sick and passed away. But before that,
I made a big purchase, A big purchase, Guest Guard,
I now own a treadmill. I own a treadmill at
(02:34):
the Mallard mansion. I have my own treadmill, which means
I will not be going outside walking. Yeah, there's this
testing facility for the Rhona that's right near the house,
and I would walk by there and the line would be.
For the last month, the line has been all the
way around the block and down the block, And so
I would take photos every day to show you gascon
(02:58):
and and say, I can't I still can't believe how
long that land. The line is still there. I drive
drive by it, It's still still long. And now who's
paying for the government paid for the test? By the
test are free, the coronavirus test are free, We're paying
for it. That's what I'm saying. No, I was trying
to think, like, because it's a small medical clinic that's
(03:19):
doing the testing near where I live, they must be
making a killing right there, getting a share of that, right,
I would think it has to be. They must be
the richest people in the neighborhood. They got. But I
did buy the treadmill. I'm excited about it. I had
to pick it up, though, and drive it back to
the Mallard mansion. I borrowed my father in law's truck
(03:39):
and uh we uh, me and the kid we went
out there. We put the thing in the back of
the truck. And I'd never tied anything down on the
back of a truck ever, certainly something not this big
that could fly out and kill someone. So I picked
it up in Orange County, and you know where I live.
I don't see where ither, but I live, uh, pretty
(04:01):
good distance away from there, east of the four or five,
yes east, way east of the four or five, closer
to Riverside than you. So anyway, I am making my
my trek back. And I decided I did not trust
that I had tied this thing down properly, even though
it seemed like it was tied down Properly's massive, huge treadmill.
(04:22):
So I took surface streets all the way back. I
did not get on the Interstate the highway there. I
took surface streets. I drove slow. I drove in the
slow lane. People were passing me by. I was the
old guy you know that everyone hates and all that.
I was that guy. But I made it back. But
then the problem was the thing wouldn't fit into the house.
It's a big treadmill. So I had to get my
(04:44):
neighbor my guy Tony had to come over my neighbor.
He's a good handyman guy. I'm not that good with
that guy. So we had to take apart the treadmill
to get it into the house. It's that big a
thing we did would not fit through the door. Interesting. Yeah,
but I love it. I've been I I can go
on there and I can ten teen minutes here there,
you know, and it's pretty cool. This is a dangerous
proposition for you, though, because not only are you domesticated
(05:09):
by being married, but now you're really you're really hunkered down.
You're you're confining yourself. That's true. The only time I
would get out of the house was to go for
a walk, and now I don't get out of the
house now I just stay in the house all the time. Yeah.
So you don't go to Costco anymore either, right? Uh? No?
I go to Costco usually once a week on the
on the weekends. But I used to go there religiously
(05:31):
every weekend just eat samples. I would go on a
sample run. I would hit two or three Costcos on
a Saturday morning afternoon, eating the sample. Yeah, this is
this is dangerous for you. I I I don't know
how I feel about it just yet, because it's good work.
And you can obviously elevate the treadmill and increase speeds
and decrease it any given time, and you can see
(05:52):
your your calories being reduced. But you're you're not out
there with mother nature anymore. You're not out and about
You're not. Yeah, yeah, I mean I guess I should
a couple of days still go for a walk with
your dog, right, No, no, Bella, Bella is not a
walking dog. Bella is a lap dog. Bella does not
believe in, oh man, any physical exercise. But Bella does
(06:14):
believe in waking me up. That is uh, that is true. Yeah,
you know, randomly, and I sleep during the day. Oh yeah,
painting the ass. Yeah. Do you have a dog? Guess
you don't have a dog. I did not. I sisters do.
We used to have one as as kids. But no
dog right now? Too much, too much taken care of. Yeah,
(06:35):
I don't know. Well, get like a small you know,
I get a big dog. You get a small dog. Yeah,
but big dogs, little dogs, they all take big ships.
Now the little dogs don't take big ships. They just
ship a lot, meaning often little small ships. Yeah. But
then they shed, you're gonna buy them food and wash
them and walk them. Bella doesn't shed that much. The
(06:55):
ship suits don't shed that much. Poodles don't shed at all,
that I believe. I don't like the that's not a
very masculine dog. I can't be rocking a ship su
Who the funk cares I do? I can't A middle
aged man, I can't. I can't rock a poodle either,
you know, you know, twenty years old word about trying
to get chicks, like like a border collie or a
pitbull or rockweiler, like those are dogs. Maybe a wolf?
(07:20):
How about that? Let me tell you something that I
don't know if dog parks are open, but that used
to be a place my buddies used to go with
the dog to pick up the ladies because every you know,
they love asking questions about the dogs. That's great instant
chick magnet. Right, Yeah, that's that's also a sign your
relationships getting serious. Guest, when you're dating someone for a
while and they're like, let's get a dog together, that's
(07:41):
a son. Would you rather do that though, or have
them move in with you? How old? Am I? What's
the situation? What's my living situation. I'm gonna say, I'm
gonna say this is pre pre your wife. Yeah, it was.
It was a tough adjustment. I had my routine. I
was about actually for the last you were in the
heart of l A. Yeah, I was living in l
(08:03):
I living my best life, going to games, eating junk food,
living wonderfully. And uh, yeah, it was difficult. I think, well,
I'm used to it now. I think if I went back,
I would have a hard time, like to the bachelor lifestyle,
so I would. I'm so used to my routine now. Yeah,
that's a that's a real challenge. Dog is one thing,
especially if you get attached. But man, if you move
(08:25):
in with her, she moves in with you. That's that's
a tough break whenever the relationship does come to its demise. Yeah,
and then the dog ends up in the kennel right there,
the dogs like I will send the dog to the
kennel and get rid of it. That kind of thing.
I think you're more inclined to give it to the female,
or at least she'll ask for it because she knows
that will break you. Yeah, there's a lot of vitriol
(08:49):
that takes place right the feuding and all that. All right,
So we have on this edition of the Parties we
have pop quiz, guestcut Big Pop. Are you excited about?
Is there anything else you would like to get you
before pop quiz? Is there anything else on your agenda here?
Anything you've been saving? You've been we've been away for
three weeks. Did you do anything over the three weeks?
I went to Sequoia, uh, and I had a wonderful
(09:11):
time and it was just great. And I love going
to the I was in the snow for a few
days and had a really good time. And I love
the Giant Force my one of my favorite places to visit.
So I had a good time. Did you go anywhere?
Did you do anything? I? Um? I went to the
firing range a couple of times, kept my kept my
trigger finger happy. Um. How many? How much do bullets cost?
(09:33):
I have no idea how you want? You go to
the firing range? You don't? How's it? How's it worked?
Did you have to bring your own bullets? Or yeah?
The trick is it's just like when you go to
Vegas and you go to the casino. Don't do it
when you don't have any money, because if you go
to an a t M. You know they're charging you
four or five dollars um a transaction. If you if
you go to a store first and then buy them
and then go to the range, you're in much better shape.
(09:55):
So like a box. So you go to the rage
with your gun obviously, and how does it work you
you have the bullets with you or you buy them there.
You have to buy them there? No, Yeah, if you
buy them there, they're a lot more expensive than if
you buy and buy them at a store. So I
always buy them at a store, bring them with you obviously, goggles,
some ear gear, and then um, and then your your weapon.
(10:18):
They'll usually provide you with a couple of targets for
a charge, and then if you want to buy some
specialized targets, that's usually a dollar or two dollars depending
on that. So certain ranges though, were strict that they
only a light is sitting there and fire for thirty minutes.
Others will be in there for an hour, and then
they obviously keep you know, separation six ft apart, so
every other lane has occupied just like a bowling lane. Um,
(10:41):
but yeah, bowling alleys are closed, are they? Yeah? I
didn't know that shooting the shooting ranges are open. They
are oh yeah, indoor, some outdoor. I haven't been to
an outdoor in a while. So, but a box of bullets,
how much does that cost? So for a hundred rounds,
it was about eighty six dollars when I when I
bought them back in July August. It is it's supply
(11:04):
to man, but I went a couple of days ago
and a box of a hundred or a box of
a hundred now is like six Okay, So it's gone down. Yeah,
it certainly has so by those on Amazon or no,
just local stores. Yeah. Because the other thing too, it's
a kicker, is if you're in the state of California,
you can't buy magazines that allow you to have more
(11:26):
than ten bullets in a magazine. We have restrictions here
in the state. Okay, so you're you're limited to two
ten bullets per magazine. So you have to go to
like Oklahoma or Alabama or somewhere in Nevada wherever it
may be. Yeah, but if you do that, that's the
thing you have to claim residency there. So it's a
whole process. And then on top of that, when you
buy bullets. You actually got to go through a background
(11:47):
check to do a background check that usually takes like
fifteen minutes or so when you're there, and then they
allow you to buy the bullets after that. But it's
a dollar every time you do a background check too,
So it's a whole process. Anyone says that's a lot
of red tapement. Yeah, Anyone says buying a gun is
easy doesn't know what the fun they're talking about. Well,
if you do it legally, it's easy. If you do
it on the street, it's not that. Well, know what
(12:08):
I'm saying, Like, you know, you know guy, you know
the black market for guns, You can find a gun. Yeah,
but when I purchased my first weapon, it took me
nearly forty five days. Yeah, but I'm saying you did
it legally, you went through a gun shot. I'm saying,
like most of them, I guess I'm I'm going down
that road. But I would assume a lot of the
guns that are used to do really nasty things are
(12:30):
not bought legally, you know what I mean. They're bought
via back channels, and they're people avoiding big brother who
knows somebody who knows somebody to get around those obstacles. Yeah,
that's true. I did. I did call a couple of
college basketball games, and I had to do it with
a mask on. About that, that's very al Michael's of you.
(12:52):
Oh my gosh. Remember when A Michaels Yes in San Francisco, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
in Santa Clara. Yeah, geniuses in Santa clar County thought
al Michael sitting by himself in a booth thousands of
feet away from anyone, that he needed to have a
mask hunt. Yeah, we were. We were actually not permitted
to be courtside. We had to go all the way
(13:12):
up the stands and me and the colored commentary were
probably a good twenty five ft apart on these elevated tables,
and we had to do stand ups, which are based
like the on camera shots. We had to do the
do those separated, and we had to do those with
our mask on, and then call the action with their
mask on too, And the arena is empty, there's no
(13:34):
nobody there. Yeah. How weird was it to call the game?
I would be self conscious because I think the players
are hearing what I'm saying. So I did that last year. Yeah,
I did that last year during the Big West Conference tournament.
We were courtside. I was actually one of the final
games to call um that night before they shut it
everything down, and I was loud as fuck and I
(13:54):
was doing I was doing a radio call, and during
the radio call, the people that were on TV for ESPN,
they came over to me and they're like, hey, can
you tone it down? Your calls bleeding into our on
air call. That's outstanding. Yeah, and it's see, I'm glad
you don't care, because I remember when I was doing
those stringing reports and be covering baseball and stuff in
(14:16):
the press box and the way it works, the first
two rows were the writers, and then the back row
were the people that dunce capped the radio guys. Radio row,
it was in the back. So you call into a
radio station back when you used to do these things
at the top bottom the hour, and you'd be screaming
for like thirty forty seconds, you know, giving details of
the score, and it would always upset the writers. In fact,
(14:37):
some of the cities on the East Coast when I
was traveling with the Dodgers, I know in New York
and several other places, they segregated the press box they had.
The writers had their own press box, and the radio
TV guys had a separate press box to keep the
radio guys because the writers were such douchebags, they could
not handle thirty second updates. It was too distracting for them.
(14:57):
For these pullet surprise winning sto worries about a Phillies
game or you know, an Orioles game. It was like,
really gave Night, which you know, beyond the game story.
I know they don't even do many game stories these days,
but who the hell was reading that? You know, you
know what I'm saying. You look at the box score.
You want to see the other stuff that was going on.
(15:18):
You weren't reading the game story. Forget about that, my goodness. Yeah,
speaking of which I was, I was navigating around the
social media universe and doing some homework. I thought, I
thought Benny versus a Penny in the NFL regular season
was good, and what we're what we're closing thoughts on that?
I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed doing it.
(15:38):
I figured out kind of the way that the internet
needed to work. After about twelve thirteen weeks, I finally
figured out what we needed to do there to scheme
up the internet, and yeah, it was. We had a
good group of loyal brigadier generals in the malle Militia
that that left the radio show in the podcast and
you really are like the one percent to the one
(16:00):
percent if you're hanging out with us on a Friday
night on YouTube and the Yeah, the audience grew. We
had more people watching as the season went on, and
a lot of people didn't even watch it live. And
the chat was a big selling point where we read
the comments even though you were annoyed. I kept reading
so many comments, but that was a pathway to get
more people involved, and then people would would would would
(16:23):
listen to our sacred picks are my sacred picks throughout
the weekend, So it was it was fun. I know,
we're talking about doing some other things and all that.
I I because of my situation with my dad, um
my weekends pretty much for the rest of time. Apparently
they're gonna be to take care of his affairs and
to clean out the Mallard family house and all that.
(16:44):
So I only have a couple of days, so I
don't know that we'll be able to do that anytime soon.
But when we do, well, you know, there's other sports
that we can do Benny versus bennybody. I would like
to do it at least for the super Bowl. If
we can't. You know, we can't do it up until then.
It was only a couple of weeks of a football
before the super Bowl. But I'd like to do that.
And uh, it was a lot of fun. You you,
(17:05):
you and my wife convinced me to get a green screen,
which is a big step in my life. And uh,
I have that. I own a green screen, so I
feel cool and all that. And you had the attire
and then you got ridiculed for some unknown reason. I'm
wearing an Iowa Hawkeye hat. Um. Yeah, there was there's
some good headway that we made and uh, yeah it was.
(17:25):
It was a lot of fun. I think that the
Super Bowl would be a good one. And uh, always
random when you see dudes on a chat criticizing the
host for what they're wearing or what they look like.
Odd to me, right, I just well, it's human human nature,
right people are people are like to bust each other's
(17:46):
balls anyway, That's what we do in the Mallem Militia.
We bust each other's balls. But you know the you
look at the tenants of human nature, and vanity is
one of right. Like laziness, you try to find the
easy road. Greed, you want to get the most you
can get. That's why you supersize your fast food meal ambition,
although not everyone seems to have that this day. Uh,
(18:06):
self interest, self interest, ignorance, and vanity. Those are the
six characteristics of human nature. Advantage of parts. So if
you can if you can attack someone else's vanity right
their appearance or you know they don't have money, or
they don't you know, they're not intelligent, that's a big attack.
That's how that's how social media exists, is for people
(18:27):
to attack other people's vanitages carried over to the politics.
I think that it will be huge when you're all
done with with what you're doing your dad's I think
you're gonna have to attend a couple of trade shows.
Something just tells me you're gonna have some really good stuff. Storage. Yeah,
we're debating, like how much of that. I have so
(18:48):
much that I could sell, but it takes such a
long time to do it, so and you gotta have
storage for it. I mean, there's a lot of a
lot of moving parts like a pinball machine, right, a
lot moving fast to it to get it, to get
it done. So we'll find out how motivated I am.
But I did find my my parents. My mom had
passed away, and my dad just kind of didn't touch anything.
(19:13):
You know. He's like he wanted the house the same
way you want to live in the house till he died.
And I'm glad he was able to do that. Um,
but he didn't clean much and so it was really
it's like a Mallard museum my my house going through
it and uh, you know, my mom was very sentimental
and kept everything and uh, and so it's it's been
(19:34):
been interesting seeing stuff. I mean, the photos are obviously
the most important. So a lot of that stuff covered
dust or whatever in the clause, buried in the closet
and all that. So I would like to thank your
old man, very nice a note from your father, the
patriarch of the Gascon family, and very kind of of
him to send that. The David Gascon Felly, not the
(19:56):
not the not the George Gascon. We're not Gilant officers
getting shot at in the head and then allowing them
to watch God free. So we're a little bit different there.
How how not good for you? But how the just
the comedy value that your father a respected member of
law enforcement, the l A p D. I ran the
l A p D for a few years, and here's
(20:16):
this guy, hold my beer get the same name was
it apparently doesn't believe in law in order, you know,
wants to be a bad guys to run free. So it's, uh,
it's interesting, interesting juxtaposition. I would say, yes, I knew
it was a deep ship when Reuben got off that
podcast a few weeks ago. It's like, you need to
change your name holy ship. Yeah, well it is something
(20:43):
when you're just like, the district attorney is a local
position typically, right, it's not a national position. So when
the nation is talking about what an incompetent stooge this
guy is, you know you've reached a special level of
insanity when pell country, can you believe what this idiot
in l A is doing with the Oh my goodness,
(21:04):
we might have a d A in l A. And
a governor in California recalled him the same year. Be wonderful.
I fully support. Uh, you know, they can have the
recall vote, can be at the French laundry. They can
have that. You can have a voting because that's where
he likes to eat his meals. When he tells everyone
not to go out, he can go there. King of
(21:28):
all douchebags, the Governor of California with a winking and
not at the Governor of New York and several other
locale speaking of the news, Did your dad Was your
dad a newspaper collector? Was he? Indeed? He did keep
you know, my dad collected pennies and uh stamps. Uh,
he liked, you know, a few coins. Stamps. His dad,
my grandfather, his father obviously was a stamp collector, so
(21:52):
that my dad he picked that up. You know, I'm
trying to think of some ways I can honor my father,
you know, because he's not around anymore, and I was.
I became pretty close with him. I wasn't as close
growing up. I was my mama's boy, but then the
last few years as my mom passed, I talked to
him every night and became very close. I'm trying to
think of like ways to honor my dad. So he
(22:12):
wore suspenders, so I think when I dress up, I'm
gonna wear suspenders. So people ripped me in goof on me,
but I'm worse suspenders now as a tribute to my dad,
and then I'm gonna donate blood. My dad loved donating blood,
and uh, it was it was always odd to me
because I was like if all the things of all
the mission guys donated, But it was like a connection
to his father because my my grandfather also donated blood.
(22:34):
And so every three months, my dad would donate blood
and with the Red Cross, and it was his his deal.
And he got very upset a few years back because
he was on some medicine that would not allow him
to donate blood. So he was able to get off
that medicine and this was like a big deal to him,
even when he was sick. Uh, you know, before he passed,
(22:55):
we we were I didn't think he was going to pass.
It was unexpected. I thought he would be okay. But
we were having normal conversations and he was like, I
gotta donate blood, you know, the whole thing. So I'm
gonna I'm gonna donate blood. But my my dad, I
was kidding with. My brothers were like, if only our
father had collected dollar bills instead of pennies, we'd be
much better off. You know, we'd be much better off.
(23:16):
And he also, my dad loved two dollar bills. Yes,
he loved two doll bills. And so I for the
rest of my life I ever learned that is I
will always have two dollar bill in my in my
wallet as a tribute to my old man, because he
he loved. He loved the expressions he would get when
he'd go to buy something at the store, which like
(23:38):
a buck, and he'd give the person at the check,
especially in recent years, he'd give them the two dollar
bill and a lot of people had no idea how
it was fake. Yeah, you know, because who they A
lot of people even realize there's a two dollar bill.
And so he always loved the reaction he would get
out of people when he'd hand them a two dollar
bill to pay for something that it was not real.
So I loved two dollar bills. I do think that
(23:58):
you carrying on his legacy. It's fitting if he's a
penny collector, and you, dude, penny versus the pennies, that
is true, that is accurate. I have. I have as
many pennies I was. I was was getting around with
the wife and my brothers, you know, talking about my
dad said, I believe now we can end the national
coin shortage with all the pennies that maybe my my
dad collected over the years, and these big jugs of
(24:20):
like these apple juice jugs filled with pennies, which I
think each jug probably maybe has I don't know, ten
bucks in it, but it's a lot, you know, it's
more than that, but a lot of All right, So
we have pop quiz. You want to get the pop
quiz right now? A right here we go pop quiz
and these are things that we find around the internet
that we quiz. Gascon on and YouTube can play along.
(24:41):
So the first person, the number one person in the
world in this sport has earned over nine million dollars
in prize money. What sport is in prize money? Over
nine million dollars. Do do do do do chess? Chess? Alright,
(25:05):
that is incorrect. Darts, all right, darts. There must be
some places where darts are a big deal. But to me,
darts are always like you're eating beer nuts at the
bar and you're with your buddies, and yeah, darts gotta
be big in Europe, right Europe or in Ireland, I
mean Europe. There island England or England, England or Island.
(25:31):
I've got to know, Uh, it was the last time
you played darts. I haven't played darts since I lived
in San Diego. A bunch of my buddies were all
former Marines, and so they'd go to a local dive
and it was always, like you said, peanuts and darts,
shuffle board, um and a little galagha. Never never failed
with those cats. We had a dartboard at one of
the Ugly Sweater parties one year, and there are a
(25:54):
few people playing darts. But I don't know what happened
to that dartboard somewhere run alright. According to a new survey,
nearly fifty of people admit that they talked to this
inanimate object. What is it? Remote control? No, my guess
was wrong. I guess the slot machine, like you're in
(26:15):
a casino in your left, big money, big. But it
was actually an a t M machine, which is kind
of like a slot machine, excepted have the money to
come out of the machine. Why would you talk to
an a t M machine? Though, that's a great question.
I don't I don't know what would the well, the
remote control, It's like why the fund is this thing working,
the batteries working. Move you're stupid, chantely, I'll start shaking it.
(26:37):
That's a good question. I don't know. Uh, it doesn't
say all right. According to a recent study, Monday, this
coming Monday, January January in is the best day of
the year to do this. Martin Luther King did ye
oh barbecue buy a car? Wait? Why? I guess they
(27:06):
have the sale. I don't know. It just says that's
the day of all the days of the year. That's
doesn't make sense to me either, right, wouldn't you think
that the summertime don't peep at most people buy cars.
Maybe it's because most people do buy cars during the
summer and not in mid January. Yeah, they say the
best time to buy a house is usually during the
holiday season because people don't want to sell their homes
(27:28):
during the holiday season, or they don't want to go
through the whole the whole gamut of of doing that
kind of a transaction, so they usually just kind of
lower their guard a little bit. Springtime, summertime, the housing
markets out of control, which is odd because it seems
like a lot of people in California, a lot of
people leaving California. But the housing market is still insanity. Man.
We get a lot of people that are are migrating East, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Arizona. Yeah,
(27:56):
that's crazy. I don't blame him. I don't. I don't
blame him. Uh. In fact, you know the neighbor that
I grew up with, and she she lives in the house,
the same house that my my parents owned. Um and
she's leaving. She's going to Dallas. She's she's been in
California whole life. She's moving to Dallas. She's had enough
of King Newsome and all the bullcrap rules. I said,
(28:17):
I'm I'm jealous. I said, I am jealous. I got
a cousin that lives in Idaho and he told me
that over the last couple of weeks he had two
people neighbors that sold his house their houses to other
people from California. And those people came in with all
cash offers. Whoa really interesting. They just said they need
(28:38):
to get the funk out of town. I was like,
where they coming from is in San Francisco. Yeah, well,
we'll see what what happens, all right. The Grand Champion
Rand championship brother Grand championship for this sport, something that
pretty much all of us have done, is held every
year in Michigan. M's something pretty much everyone has done.
(29:04):
It's just I don't know that you would. It's not
a traditional sport, how about that? Yeah, um, do do
do do do do do do? Not a tradition. I
can't say something whack like croquet batmanton. Um, well you
said those. I like that. You you can't say them
while you said them. Well, I know, but as a guess, Um, yeah,
(29:27):
I don't know. Hackey sack uh No. Stone skipping that's
good though. Hasn't every kid done that? Though? You go
to the lake or the ocean, You're like, let let
me see if I can throw the rock and have
it skip across the Yeah the way there? Yeah, Lake
Arrowhead is a good spot to do that up near
(29:48):
or at Tahoe. Yeah, Taho. It's like an eight hour
dry but it's a good I've got fresh powder up
there too, so wintertime or summer is good. Taho. Is
that you like the Nevada side or the caliph You say,
I like the Nevada side because they have gamma. Yeah, yeah,
all right, in the nineteen twenties, we ate about twenty
pounds of this year. Now it's only about six mm
(30:11):
hmm from twenty to six cabbage. Cabbage. You know that
is incorrect, But I've been experiment I'm glad you brought
that up. Um, I've been experimented a lot using butter
more and then sometimes less on steaks. Oh is that right? Yeah?
(30:36):
My steak game is A plus. Now it was good,
it was B B plus, but now it's a it's
it's really sound kind of like an elitist there this No, No,
it's not. I mean the cooking is elite, Yes, the
skills are refined, like you'd be proud of me. I
don't know that proud would be the adjective that I
would use. But you do sound pretentious, I think is
(30:58):
the word No that like a stop. Anyone who's anyone
could cook a steak, But shouldn't it be something you
don't advertise and it just people find out about it
because you cooked them the steak. In today's world, just
that you've just broadcasted. So you sound like a dude.
And in today's world, how many people are getting together
for a fine meal or any kind of meal. Apparently
(31:23):
some are right, I don't know what's going on. They're
they're having their power shut off. Would you rat out
a neighbor if they had a party of like forty
or fifty people, No, I would not, would you know?
I'm probably good Joan. Oh, there's there's always that crowd
of every neighborhood's got it. The busy body, all right,
the busy body. It's got a medal in everyone else's business,
(31:46):
and we've all got and some people got nothing going
on in their lives. You know. It's the people that
you know exactly when the maleman is gonna come by
or when the trash is going to be picked up,
because they got they don't have a lot of things
going on. Yeah, you get that one person that's always
it's out and about, like first thing in the morning,
watering their grass and observing people driving by or walking
by just to see what they're up to. Yeah, exactly.
(32:09):
And it was it's like it's annoying, but you kind
of meddle in other people's business and impose themselves and
leave me alone. No need to poke your nose in
in my business. Okay, stop. It's like I learned in
Scooby Doo. Right, if it weren't for you meddling kids,
my life would be a lot easier. All right, let's
(32:30):
see what is next to your six percent of people
in a long distance relationship have this in common? What
is it? They like to be alone? Nope, they have
never met oh Man Titel. Yeah, there you go. I
can't believe ESPs. That's gotta because that's gotta because of
(32:51):
the Internet though, right, I think it's more now because
the Internet you can have you can meet someone playing
a video game or in a you know, not chat
room but on social medi to you and not actually
ever physically meet them, at least for a while, because
of geographically being undesirable. That's true. That's just well. I mean,
ESPN had that documentary that they resurfaced a few days ago.
(33:11):
I think it was just before the National Championship game
with Man Titel and all that bullshit with him and
it's fake girlfriend. One of the great nights of radio
we had. We also had a mant Our radio roast,
which was awesome. But I found out I was in
Vegas and I was driving back from Vegas and the
story came out. I think it was dead Spin had
(33:33):
the story back before they went full crazy town on
that website. But they they had the story, and all
every update got it got better and better. It got
better and better than Brian Kelly handing out a game
ball to man Tito's fake dead girlfriend was outstanding. It
was unreal. Oh so wonderful. Oh man, he's still bouncing
(33:59):
around the NFL. Where is he? He He was in New
Orleans Saints. Yeah, yeah, you know the Saints. Yeah, so
they're still You could go to the Super Bowl. Probably not,
but he could this year. All right, of women say
this is their partner's worst habit. What is it? Belching? No,
this seems odd to me. I've I've not done this,
leaving a wet towel on the bed. Oh you don't
(34:22):
do that. No, And I usually leave the towel in
the bathroom. I I dry off in the bathroom and
then leave the towel there. Oh man, I never did.
But see you. You use the same towel over and
over again. That's why. No, no, no, no. I have
three towels. I use each twice and then I wash. Yeah,
I have a three day towel rotation. But they're all
in the bathroom, So I use you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
(34:46):
wash and then got you. Yeah, I do that all
the time. It's a bad habit of mine, especially because
you know, if I used to the towel get into bed,
I can understand that would be annoying. That bed gets
a little damp and you're laying down and yeah, are
in a new survey of single ladies that they are
(35:08):
looking for a partner who is good at this sex?
I'm guessing that's how about how about cooking? No, it's
actually being a handy man fixed crap. Well, I I
lose in that department. I lose. Are you a handyman? Guest? Count?
Are you able to fix stuff? Yeah? But I mean
(35:28):
with the power of YouTube you can. You can learn
those things right away. Yeah. You can fake it till
you make it. You can fake it till you make it. Yeah,
absolutely all right. Over fifty percent of men have lied
about this on the first date. What is it their
sex count? Uh? No, how much they work out? Oh?
Everyone lies about not man? Well not not here you
(35:52):
go popping up again? Just you know, I made you
gonna gonna get that stuff in. Man, The belligerent Guestcott's
there's one thing I do not lie about. It's one
thing I don't lie about. I was working out, okay,
Donna's okay, chisel out of stone. Hey listen, you need
some kind of therapy, right, So going out and seeing
(36:13):
the beach a little bit, or go to the park.
You gotta have that ship, especially today's world. Man, Yeah, okay,
what good for you? Uh, let's see here, what do
we got? Percent of people say they use this excuse
to get out of exercising. There he goes ties into
the same thing. Yeah, Um, can't work out because of
(36:35):
blank my clothes are dirty. No, the weather, Oh, the weather.
I was. I drove by a gym. I was donating
some stuff at the in Orange County, some of my
my parents stuff, some of the old clothes and stuff.
So I was driving by the donations thing. There was
a gym in Orange County and it was open. I
(36:56):
didn't realize they were open in Orange County. But there
was a line a round the building. I guess they
only allow a certain number of people in. Yeah. Set
all these people wearing their gym clothes, standing in line,
looking at their smartphones, waiting to be allowed into the gym.
That's unbelievable. A couple of the gyms that I know
about are they moved all their stuff outside and it's
(37:18):
nearly the same thing where they're only having it tapered
off for UH specific groups at a time, so you
can only get in there for like thirty or forty
five minutes of pop and then after that you you
gotta get out. So the gym's around where I live
or not not open at all. But I'm I'm done
with the gym. I got my treadmill now Gascon, so
I'm good. I'll need to go to the gym anymore.
(37:39):
You need some weights, man, gott My wife's got a
few weights in there. We got like a little mini
Mallard gym, little home gym type thing. Yeah, well whatever
was it's good. Listen, it's all right. I'll see the
gym memberships, painting the ascid. I will miss the sauna.
I's like going in the sauna and the steam room
and steam rooms great. I love the steam room. Me.
(38:00):
I sweat a lot, get a good sweat going. I'll
deal with it. I'll survive my life. Will We'll go on.
I've made it almost a year, without going to the gym.
So I think I'll be okay in the night. In
the nineteen thirties, a guy could make a hundred dollars
a week commission selling this, which is the equivalent of
eighteen hundred dollars today. How about that you can make
(38:21):
eighteen hundred dollars a week in the nineteen thirties selling
this toasters Good Humor ice cream They're the famous Good
Humor ice cream bars. No you don't know? No, got
guess on what? Lack of knowledge? Bad job by you?
The Good Humor ice cream truck legendary in the nineteen
(38:41):
twenties and thirties. Man, it was part of pop culture
in America. I think up in the fifth Yes, these
come on shaved. These were so good. Yeah, they call them,
they call them sales cars. They call them the ice
cream trucks. Yes, what we're your favorite? I love the
(39:03):
chocolate chip sandwich, you know, with the uh oh that
I love. I still love. That's one of my favorite
ice cream desserts. What was your face? You let me
get a strawberry? You like that strawberry? Strawberry was good.
The cookies and cream was really good. Those are probably
my favorites. But my my grandma lived on the bootleg
part of San Pedro, so that ghetto part. They always
(39:26):
had those ice cream trucks going up and down the
streets always. I remember the cookie, the Good Humor cone
with the it had the scoop of vanilla, but then
it had the chocolate with the nuts on it there. Yeah,
that was all. We always got that a lot. They
would experiment. It was always big. You play Little League,
and then the ice cream truck, the Good Humor truck. Yeah,
(39:49):
that's good, good money though. How about that the teen
hundred bucks a week selling ice cream. It's pretty good.
Sign me up for that. That you could go from
there to working in and out and being a manager,
working making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Although I'll
be careful because there was a guy at the gym
when I was speaking of the gym who worked his
(40:10):
way up for making French fries in and out into
a management position. But then he got to a certain
age and they pole axed him. He got, he got
like he's convinced it was because he was making too
much money and he was too old, and they got
rid of him. That sucks, alright, eighty percent of men
admit they get embarrassed when they order this at a restaurant. Shake. Yeah, no,
(40:35):
it's a type of drink. Oh um, can't be a
martini a Cosmopolitan. I guess it could be a Martine Cosmopolitan.
No diet soda? What? Yeah? Alright, so you have no
shame in your game though you you order the diet soda. Yeah,
I mean I haven't had diet soda in a long time. No, what,
that's weird. Just point out that's the that's the deal.
(40:58):
Point that out interesting. All right, I got a time
for a couple more. According to a new survey, eight
percent of people say they never do this. What is
it to an item that we all have? But they
never do this with that? Im mm hm um, plug
their nose, Harris, clean their phone. Okay, when's the last
(41:21):
time you cleaned your phone? I haven't cleaned it for
a long time. Neither. By yeah either by all right.
Last one of the people who own one of these
nine percent overwhelming percent say they'd buy another one next
time they need one. Um fuck? Uh fuck? Is that
(41:49):
the answer is that the I'm trying to think of
what this could possibly be? What could it possibly I'll
give it. Okay, electric car, Now, I've a theory on this,
all right. And I had an electric car that was
a lemon, so I had to get rid of it.
The Alutmobile was a lemon. But the reason you would
(42:09):
keep buying electric cars typically you put the infrastructure in,
put a charging unit in your house. You know, if
you live in a house, you put a charging unit.
So why would you invest that You wouldn't want to
keep using that power, so you would get another electric car. Yeah,
and I'd be willing to get another electric car once
the mileage gets a little bit higher, because I don't
(42:32):
I don't think they go even the Tesla's what's the
range on a Tesla? That's good? Es? Why am I
asking you? I don't know. I don't I don't have
a Tesla. Um, that's that's one of the things you're missing.
West of the four oh five. Yeah, this one says
four and two miles for a TESTA models fo miles. Yeah,
(42:56):
that's all. I mean, they can get to six D.
I mean, what do you get your five hundred? I
get like five hundred on my car. No way, you
get five hundred. Yeah, that's around five hundred. Give it
take compending how I drive. Yeah, man, I get like
two eight five. Yeah, I have a few. I have
a it's a hybrid car that I have, but it's
(43:16):
not an electric car. When I had the electric car,
it only went like it was like two hundred miles
or something like that. You didn't that was it. I
will go on long drives on in the summer, you
know'll go all over California and Nevada or whatever and
paying the ask to drive two hundred miles and then
stop for half an hour an hour and charge your car.
(43:38):
And I was like, what is that. I need to
borrow your car? Want to make long drive ship? You're
making out like a bandit. Well, I'm not driving anywhere now,
so I know. But when you do, I mean, even
to the studio, you're you know, you're not well. Next
time you get a car, gask and you got a
big truck, why don't you try to find a car
that's fuel efficient so when you drive to the end
of California you will not be spending as much of
(44:00):
gas because I usually put a lot of things in
my car, and small sedans like the one you have.
Just don't sit wealth with me, all right, well, you
have to pick. You pick your battles. But your car
is reliable to You've had that for a long time, right, Yeah,
it's pretty good. I get service and whatnot. It's I've
had no no issues with this. I had one. I
(44:22):
had one and we it was a malfunction that we
got fixed and since then nothing's nothing's been been bad
about it. So get your wife a Tesla. I want
to see the mists of the tesla her. Get her
a new kitchen. Get her a Tesla. Yeah, doesn't got
leave have a Tesla. I think it does. Got leave
(44:42):
have a he lives in Orange County or something. Now,
it wasn't like testing. I think Rob Parker has neither
that or a Rover. I forget what Rob has. You
guys just have these massive I don't have a man.
I have a I have a sedan. It gets good
gas midge, I used to have. I I drove fe
fifty for you. He explorer. Um, I always said my
(45:04):
mom she was like she convinced, she was very paranoid
about me driving, about accidents. So she's like, you gotta
get a big car. You're a big guy. You gotta
get a big cars Like Okay, mom, I'll get a
big car, so she I always had big, big cars
only up until like the last maybe ten years or so,
when I when I went over to the to the
(45:24):
dark side. Interesting. Yeah, absolutely, all right. Well that's it,
