A White Knight for the Maller Mansion

starts right now today. We are back in another year of podcasting somewhere, our first full year on the standalone podcast where we can say fucking asshole and ship in all the words we can't say on the radio. Uh So we're excited about that. Well, I'm excited about that. Now. A lot of people have bets on whether or not David Gascon will make it through the whole year. I am betting on him not making it through the entire year,

but he is starting the year. I believe by the end of we will have a new podcast sidekick, producer, a guy. But that's my prediction. What he is here for now and we do this show because management wants us to do this show. But four hours or not enough. Right we are in the air everywhere, as I like to say, and really with the vast power of My Heart the global reach of podcasting. This podcast has heard weekly on the I Heart podcast network and available as

you know because you found the podcast. Wherever you find your podcast, and tell your friend, tell a friend, tell a friend, word of mouth advertising five stars on the podcast, give us a review, a positive review. Boy, that would help us out a lot. That would be really cool. And I'd like to you know, I never want to win awards, but I would like to try to win one this year because that would annoy people. That would annoy people in management if this podcast actually ends up winning.

Is an award winning podcast, and I don't think there's that much competition in the podcast game in terms of actually there's a lot of podcasts, but there's not a lot of crappy ones. So I'd like to try to be one of the good ones. We might have to wait till Gascott leaves to win an award, but well, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this guest guy. This

one anyway will be good. And how annoyed would you be if you actually ended up winning an award for this podcast with me on it, Well, it would be nice to to rub it in the face of management. That would be be good. But yeah, I mean it would be disapprotabobuld be mostly me. Of course if I we win, it would be I mean. Just looking at Apple iTunes right now, another great gem by Ben and David came for the Mallard State, for the gascond These are just amazingly high glowing reviews. Now, can you read

the ones that aren't from your dad and your mom? No? I can. Jascon is a breath of fresh air. That's your Gascon is great, marvelous and fair. Making all this up here, you're making all yourself. This is Marconi Award winning Stop. This is really good. You want me to read the ones I'm getting for? You know, I don't get really care about that. You know you only care about the I care about this. This is positive podcasting courtesy of Apple Itune. Guess God must have photos of someone,

photos of them frolicking with farm animals? Uh? Guess gun does he? What? What color kneepads does he wear? About that? One of the odds of me lasting throughout this season, one of the betting odds on me staying and going. All right, So now I I have thought about this, and you are the boy that cries wolf. You're you're one of these people that's never happy, You're never satisfied, you always want more, and all that stuff like this hard working. Yeah, those are all those things. You can

plain a lot and all that. I mean, I think we all know that Thard is gascon. That's how you operate. But as far as the actual real world odds, I think you talk the talk, but you don't often walk to walk in terms like because you've been telling me for like how many months have you been telling me I'm out of here, I'm done, I'm leaving, I'm not gonna stay here, and you're back. So you got a factor that in plus, are you hirable? You know, could you get a better job with someone want to hire

you for a better job. That's an open question. Yes, no, it's not an open question. That's a that's a pretty easy question to answer. That's a that's a open, closed question, Ben Mallory. That's yes or no, and yes. All right. So I'm gonna set the odds at minus one ninety that you are gone. That's good, all right. That's a sixty five percent chance the implied odds on that that you're out of here. That's good. That means if I am out of here, that means them up to bigger

and better things. Well maybe not. You're leaving away on a podcast. You might get that memo. I got compensation in these tough economical times. It's called pro bono work. Is you're laying the foundation to a magical thing. I've tried to tell you that you don't understand that concept. So you admit that I'm a man of the community, a man of the people. No, because you all you

do is complain about it. Well, there's things that aren't have to snuff, and you pointed out you you're No, You're no different than Russell Wilson, who every time he visits a sick kid has to put a photo on Twitter. God for he visits a sick kid and doesn't put a photo on Twitter. There's nothing wrong. It's almost like he does it to put photos on Twitter. You know what I'm saying, Well, there's nothing wrong with that. It would be a little bit different if I had a

there's something wrong with that. It's kind of it's kind of like Kobe and an Eye and they're talking over each other. Nobody's listening to. But it's like Kobe Bryant. I I goofed on Kobe a lot. But Kobe was very modest. He visited children's hospitals all the time. But you heard from nurses and people that worked at the hospital. You didn't hear from Kobe because he didn't do the whole photo thing. That's what are you trying to say. I am saying you are looking for attention. You are

whining and complaining and all that. Industry. It is all about attention, Ben mallary. It's all about talent. It's all about talent. It's people in the room. Look at me, Listen to me. I need twenty four to fifty hours worth of content every week so people can listen to me. Pat me on the back side, fly me up to Seattle. Pay for my child. You're so jealous, you are so lick my toes. I'm peanut butter, you're jelly is how this is gonna work? Okay, which is ironic because your

your nickname around Fox is the jellyfish. No, actually, people people call me around here the white boy version of dk metcalf. Uh really so uh not really committed, but just getting by on athletic ability. But you don't know what you're gonna actually make it. You occasionally play well, but not consistently. I got it. Okay, good, I'm thinking a star in the making. Ben Maller, Well, yeah, you've been saying that, but you know, look at me. I was called a rising star and I'm forced to work

with you. You're You're buried into the uh to the moonlight. So that's unfortunate. But you know what, I bring you out of that darkness into the daylight. And that's why we have the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. Well, we have the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller because I am doing the show. No, we have the Fifth Hour with Benn Mallor because I talked and bugged are our vice president of programming, Scott Sapiro, and I said, hey, we'd like to launch the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard. Can

we make this happen? Can we talk to the up and the ups at I Heart Radio. They gave me the green light and I finally encourage you to do it. Get off your fucking ass, roll out of bed and start doing something. So now we made content in twenty nineteen, and now here is to a brand new year and a brand new you. Lethargic, Ben Maller turns over a new leaf. Well, I mean that's a nice revisionist history. Look at what happened here. The reality is, though, that

I chose. I was asked by the company to do this, and I said, okay, I would like to do it, and here we are. That's not true. You don't do anything unless it benefits you and you get paid for it. It benefits me because if the company wants me to do something and I do it, they keep me gamefully employed. That's how it works. Stupid, But you're not getting paid for this. So how are you gonna be employed by doing something for free? Because I'm giving them free content.

They work for Nike. 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. Search f s R to listen live. All right, let's get to it. You're wasting time. Here we have the you're worried about time. I am worried about that. We have Betty's Bistro. We've got the Great Flood. Here's the menu, the Great Flood. Lawyer up the stern message, study this the grab bag and don't stick to sports.

We'll start out with the Great Flood. Now, I have not talked about this on the radio, but I've been I've been experiencing a homeowners nightmare at the Mallard Mansion. Now, if you've listened to me over these you know that the original Mallard Mansion which is still underwater, but now the second Mallard Mansion is also underwater. I have been dealing with a flood in the walls of the Mallard Mansion. I'm talking mold I'm talking extreme water damage. So let

me tell you what happened here. We we had a leak in front of the refrigerator, so we called a refrigerator repairman to come look at it, and he examined every part of the refrigerator. Said, no, nothing's it's working fine. So you might have a leak in the wall. So

we we contacted the insurance. They came out, they looked at everything, and indeed there was We had a plumber, first of all, come out and there was a leak in the wall between the kitchen and my my living room at the like a galley kitchen, and behind it is the is the living the living rooms and so um. Anyway, there was a leak there and his cost literally thousands

of dollars of damage. The water not started, it got so I leaked out of the wall in the little crack in the wall, but it went under the flooring that I have in the living room that all got soaked and has to be replaced. The dry wall has to be replaced, the kitchen, even the kitchen sink, like under the kitchen sink around the dishwasher area, that all got destroyed. So they're gonna have to do demo on

my house. While I'm living in the house. While all this is going on, I'll be trying to sleep because I do an overnight radio show, and they'll be chopping down dry wall and ripping out the refrigerator and all this stuff. And uh, we're not gonna have a kitchen for like a month because of the mold and the gallons of water that went everywhere. That's my life, guest gone, the hell I've been living here. You want you want a violin, I'm playing the world. Can you play a violins?

You don't know how to play a violin. You're not watching enough to play a violin for you. It's just one note you know, you gotta look at the silver lining in this is that because you want to have access to the kitchen, that means your dumbass won't burn your tongue eating a shitty pizza. This is the best part of this entire story is you will not be anywhere near a kitchen. Well, you're you're wrong. Um, that's not the best. But first of all, I I sent

you a message to the other day. How many hours did I go between food? Yeah, it was fifty four hours I went food. That's called photoshop. This is not called photoshop. I took a screenshot of my iPhone five s and send it to you because you you were trying to be braggadocious about how you had gone on twenty five hours. I've lost nine pounds since the month of December. You should give me a pat on the bag. I'm getting stronger, I'm getting leaner. You're such a narcissist.

You are such a goddamn narcissist, is what. You're not the one complaining on a podcast about my hardship in life, about my my kitchen. Your house has been a praise for over a million and a half dollars and now you're bitching on a podcast about it. My house is not worth a million dollars. That's that's false. That's a lie. That's another guess on lie. Uh, let's see. If you want to email the podcast at real fifth hour, I can give you the praise value for Ben Maller's house.

Oh you want people to email us again? I thought you'd think that would be cool for anybody to want. Anybody who's powerful that likes this show. And I have a very powerful audience guest, and I don't talk about those people, but TV TV big shots, sportscasting, big shots, moguls of business people that are big Mallard militia fans.

But on the down low, do not send any email there that is private because Gascon, the scrooge, the narcissist, uh, the spoiled brat over there, the conceited one, he will see those emails. Well we can. I can type it in on zillo if you'd like screen cap ship put it on social media, Instagram, Twitter, that would be nice to put my my house on social media. Fucking car on social media. I didn't put your goddamn license plate on social media, and I got that's a lie, I'll

bet you tacos. I didn't know you cannot see your license plate in that photo. I've already lost two rounds of tacos to me, so I will not be in your die. Know you know you would not win that one. So anyway, my favorite start of my favorite part of the story, guest, And you say your favorite part is that I won't eat burned pizza. My favorite part is the scumbag insurance company that I am having to deal with here. Um, I would like you to guess how much of the damage the insurance company. I pay a

lot of money every month for homeowners insurance. How much are they covering from all of this damage? The flooring has to be replaced, the dry wall, uh, they have to do some work removing mold inside the walls, uh in two rooms in my house. So how much of this is the insurance gonna cover? So I won't go a dollar amount, I'll go percentage. And I'll say, so you leave forty five percent now, I would is not a lot, you know, it's it's essentially dollar for dollar

they are covering zero. They are not paying a goddamn sent to cover the damage. And I would like to say, right now, if you own a home. Homeowners insurance is a total fucking scam. It is a goddamn scam and it's bullshit. And I am so sick and tired of this crap, which is what we've been nearling with. My wife's been taking care of a lot of it, but I've been hearing on what's been going on here and

they so the insurance check this out. They claim that since the leak at the Mallard mansion lasted for more than thirty days, they don't have to pay any money, not a fucking cent because this one over thirty days. And the insurance says that we have a deal, it's in the contract. How can they prove that it was more than thirty days. Well, they claim because of the damage done to the flooring and inside the walls. They say it's our responsibility to take care of our home.

Apparently what's in the goddamn walls were I mean, what a hustle, you know, pop goes Louise. Also, they got forensic insurance claimers that are trying to knock you off. Well, here's what happened. So the leak was in the wall and we didn't know about it. And then as soon as it started leaking out of the wall. You know, when you noticed there's a leak, because I don't know, how are you supposed to know what's in the fucking walls. So once the water came out, we were alerted to it.

We're in like ten days. We contacted the insurance and these assholes who I hope all burden. Hell uh, they said, well, sorry, apparently it had been leaking in the walls undetected. Because again, I guess we have to cut our drywall down and leave we have Maybe I just didn't even replace the drywall. We'll just have all the pipes exposed. That way, if something breaks, we can we can report it right away

to the insurance. Well, you know you have. You've lived a charmed life with sycophans and lap dogs and boot liquors. This is one of the rare times that you should call up your dogs to come defend you. What insurance company is this? It is safe Co Insurance is the name of the insurance company that is the one, right what I have relationships with people at Safeco Insurance? You do? I do? Really one thousand percent honest to go? Are

you the reason that they are not covering any of this. No, but do you know what I could be your white Knight. I could be the well, if you are my white Knight guest scout, I will buy you tacos after tacos after talking that damage or you can uh, yeah it is. It has been a nightmare here, and I apparently this goes on all the time with insurance companies that that

what judge, what courtroom determined that it's the homeowner's responsibility. Now, I wonder if I would maybe I'll call Bill Handle handling them the law and see if I have a case here. But I looked up on the internet. Apparently this kind of thing happens all the time with homeowners where there's leaks in the wall and it goes undetected and then the insurance company claims, what it's not our fault? You know, it is amazing that that that that their

lawyers were able to convince some court somewhere. How is that fair? How are you supposed to know if there's a leak in the wall when there's dry wall and you can't see in there. That's unbelievable. But it's an amazing scam, is what their villains. Their villains is what they are. I feel I feel sorry for you. And it sounds like your mansion one of two has just

gone snap crackle pop it has. I remember there's a movie Tom Early, Tom Hanks movie called The Money Pit, and there's a classic, very good movie, you know, million it's old, dated now, but they bought a house. They were all excited, this big mansion and they had to do some work to fix it up, and everything fell apart. And it feels like everything the last couple of weeks, it feels like everyone's dying and uh, and everything's falling apart like this. It's it's raining down fire, it's you know,

one of those rough stretches. But I'm sure it'll be temporary and then we'll get back to reality. But that was a real kick in the nuts. So if anybody in the Ala Musha, uh, if you want to contact me, if you're you're in the Los Angeles area or between l A and Vegas and you you want to, you know, do do a solid for me with the drywall or the well. No, I'm just I'm throwing it out there, guests,

because I need some help here. You know, I'll pay, but I mean, if you give me a deal and make me a better deal than I could get somewhere else. Let's talk, you know, let's talk. I got I need a I need a flooring guy or a woman. Do a lot of women do Floria mostly guys. Yeah, So I need like I'm thinking about, like a tile floor expert. Plumbing. I would need that. The plumbing has already been repaired. We paid for that. That was only a few hundred dollars. Fortunately,

that was the cheapest part of all of this. And also like a drywall person, someone good with the drywall. Uh, we've got the demo. The demo is going to take place here, so we need the other stuff. Yeah. So if I can smuggle and finagle away to get you some money from the insurance company, what do I get out of this? Wow? So you're trying now, what percentage are we looking at here? Well, I mean something is better than zero? So well, something he's better than zero.

I don't know what do you want? I don't know. I think if I can get you fift covered. If I can get you covered, I will need to during the month of July, the baseball season, I need a co host with you for a week. The overnight show. Yes, do you expect to be paid for this? No? Okay, yeah, alright, as long as you don't want to be paid, Yeah, you can hang out. Sure, not not hang out, I said co host, Well, you know you hang out with you during that show. I'm not gonna add a fucking four.

I said. You want to be the fifth wheel? Is what you'd like, I'll be riding shotgun? All right, Yeah, that's a deal. You get me fift on this claim. You make some phone calls there and one week in the summertime it is side by side mano a mano radio. Now, the unfortunate thing is I gotta do all the legworks. Since you mentioned your wife is handling most of this, so I need to contact her because you don't know what's up from down. Well, I do know what's up,

but my wife knows. I. I do not handle these situations involving loss of great money very well. I do not. I admit that that's one of my flaws. I know there's a lot of reasons for that, and my psychologist that tells me because I work in radio and I'm paranoid. When I started in radio, everyone lost their job and I'm like, I can't afford this. I'm gonna lose my job, you know, the whole thing. So but unfortunately, I think

everything will be okay. But you're gonna help out and make it better than okay, because otherwise I'm gonna have to take out a loan to pay for all this good We're not thousands and thousands of dollars, it's crazy. Yeah, I mean the only good thing is at least you have a lot of equit in your home, so that home equity, you'll be able to write off a portion of it. So yeah, I guess the one thing you could do if you don't save the day like a

night and shining armor. Guess gun, Uh, the one thing you could do here is you could claim a catastrophe on your insurance. I think Trump didn't take that out, so you can still get a little money back. But I don't want to do that. I want I want the insurance to do I pay every month for the insurance. I'd like them to do their fucking job. Yeah, and this is tough too, because your FICO score isn't as good as mine either. So here we got, as a

humble brag, the narcissist part. The pretentious one, right, taking because I was in banking when I was in my young twenties, and so my young twenties, Pico is at a blistering eight hundred, while yours is that like a here's the deal. You try to appeal to the white collar work. Of course, that's where the I appeal to the blue collar factory work, or the truck driver, the security guard, the people that are out there salt of the earth, the people driving eighteen wheelers, working in warehouses.

I'm their guy, I'm their champion. You are trying to get people that don't even listen to podcast, those those rich fat cats to listen. Well, you're usually those are the ones writing the check, and that's priority number one. How's that working out with you? Wow, it's it's no, it's to be determined, to be determined. Were in progress? Anyway? That's my story about the Mallard flood. And well, I guess stay tuned. That's a good, good cliffhanger, will guess.

Get on, who talks a good game be able to pull out some kind of agreement with the insurance company. We will find out. This is amazing. In twenty nineteen, we talked about you never having to be admitted to the hospital for a major surgery. Then it happened, and and now we're looking for for me to be your your white Night again again. Cape Crusader. Now you were the grim reaper in that instance. You you were the one that created my gallbladder malfunctioning by bringing it up.

Everybody loves a hell, and I was just that I was playing to the rout and I did so accordingly. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am easternm Pacific. Alright, moving on, we have a stern message. I mentioned everyone seems like they're dying here. I've had some friends people I worked

with that have died in January, which which sucks. And my buddy Alex Russo, radio guy in l A died and you gotta go to his funeral next week, and you know which, I guess is better to go to the funeral than be the one at the funeral who's in the box. But but anyway, Uh, David Stern, longtime NBA commissioner, he passed away while I was on hiatus, and I didn't get a chance. I was gonna do a six line tribute but with the football playoffs going on,

I just I didn't think it would work. And in radio it's all about what's going on right now, and the Stern story is a little bit old. But I thought the podcast we could talk about David Stern. Now, I actually have a couple of David Stern stories that I have interviewed him a few times over the years. Now. One of them does not have involve me, but involves a story that I was told about David Stern. The other one directly involves me. So I've got two David Sterns,

and now listen. Stern was not perfect. The biggest mistake David Stern made was allowing that slick oil baron to take the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma. That was horrific. But Stern did a lot of really cool things when he was the commissioner of the NBA. It was very good for many, many people who made a lot of money playing professional basketball. He marketed the stars, not the teams. It wasn't go see the Lakers, it was go see Magic Johnson. It wasn't see the Celtics, it was Larry Bird.

It was Michael Jordan's versus Dominique Wilkins, that was the I don't know how much of that was Stern and how much of that was some marketing person, but he was the commissioner, so he gets some level of credit for that. So my David Sterns stories. He passed away into brain hemorrhage, never recovered, uh, and he died over the holiday break. So my guy Rob, who's he was an old Clipper PR guy didn't work for the team anymore, but he worked for the team for years. I knew

him when he was an intern. He rose up was a PR executive with the team. So he told a story to me about amazing meet and great so so he you know, it's the PR guy. Occasionally have to go to league meetings. And he was at an event with David Stern and this is probably about ten years ago, maybe a little less than ten years ago, and Stern it was making small talk and said, hey, how long have you worked for for Donald Sterling, who at the time was the Clippers owner. And my friends said, what,

I've worked for them for seventeen years. And David Stern told my the guy that I know here, he said, Jesus, you're like a fucking prisoner of war. How about that commissioner of the NBA. Oh man, that great, that's pretty damn good. That's that New York nonsense, that New York stuff from from Stern there the New Yorker and then came out. Then I had my own personal dealings with David So now I interviewed him a few times, but

this involves not an interview. Way back. Hard to believe it's been twenty years, but the two thousand NBA Finals, the Lakers are playing the Pacers, and I happened to be working at an l A radio station that sent me to Indianapolis to cover the NBA Finals. So I was in Indianapolis. There was a day off between games in the NBA Finals, and the NBA had a media Welcome to Indianapolis, Welcome to the Hoosier State Party, which was really just an example of freeloading, right, guestc on,

you know, freeloading and all that. I don't know about it. H So I was invited. I showed up. They had free food in Booze. I remember that was when that hard lemonade had kind of hit the market, and I drank so much of that hard lemonade. Mike's hard lemonade. Yeah, that was like new. That was like a new product, as I remember at the time, and they had so much of it, and oh my god, I got so wasted on that. I didn't have to drive or anything like that. It was down the street from the hotel.

But anyway, during that event, they had like a mini arcade with a bunch of video games like NBA Jam and whatnot. So I was playing NBA Jam against my friend David not you guest gun, but David Denholme, David Denhome who's now the play by play guy for the l A f C. He's gone on and done some good things there. So so but we were working together and UH and and hanging out and we went to UH a minor league baseball game in Indianapolis, a game the Indians, I think. I don't know if they're called

that anymore. Um whatever they're called now, I don't know. But anyway, so was there hanging out playing this video game and we were really getting into the game. It's an arcade game to give, you know, it's the old arcade set up. So I'm going against him and we are like going back and forth. We're screaming in each other because it's like a one point game, and some of the other media people started gravitating behind where we were playing the game because of like, what the hell

is going on here? Why is this so exciting? So we had an audience and one of the people in the audience that came up was was David Stern, the commissioner of the NBA, who asked he kind of he was like, what teams are you playing with? And I was playing with the Los Angeles Clippers and my friend David uh he was playing with the Toronto Raptors, And hand to god, David Sterns, why are you playing with those teams? All about the money man? How great is

that man? That? It's really good? That is hilarious. Yeah, I thought your favorite David Sterns story would have been the one where he nixed the Lakers Chris Paul trade. Well, that was just good commissioner work, is what that was. That's what any commissioner would have done that because it was an illegal trade by the Lakers. They were trying to trade a guy that had a cocaine problem lamar Odom to get a star player, and Chris Paul the Clippers gave me a better offer to New Orleans than

the Lakers did. Things so, but unfortunately Rich Paul and Lebron James were not part of the Lakers, or else Chris Paul would have gone to the Lakers. Yeah, that's true. That's a great story though, playing an arcade game with David Stern over your shoulder or not under your shoulder, under your elbow, but yeah, exactly, And then the line he had like why are you playing with those teams? You know? And then what do you know? I mean what?

Ten fifteen years later, Raptors win an NBA title, beating the Golden State Warriors, and now the Clippers are in the hunt to win their first I know. And he's dead, but rest in peace. David Stern. Interesting character, interesting character and a better commissioner than Adam Silver. Now is he gonna? You know? I want to point out before I'm done with the Sterns. David Stern he knew what a disease, what a robonic plague load management was and tried to

stop load management. He tried to stop it, and Adam Silver is like, oh no, I want that load management and it's been bad for NBA. All these players seemingly Pussy Willows, Zion Williamson, the latest number one pick on a minute restriction hasn't played yet. It's it's all absurd. Now. The big question is will he'd be a better commissioner than Rob Manfred of Major League Baseball? Well, that is to be determined here, depending on what Rob Manford does

and what Major League Baseball does. And adjudicating the great cheating scandal that we have been dealing with here with the Astros and the Red Sox and the Dodges winning back to back championship, Now do you think this is back to back scandals or is this one concurrent scandal like you have the the tampering, the espionage, and then of course the cheating with the Astros and the Red Sox of video replay. All right, so, first of all, I believe that these are obviously are tied together, the

tentacles of the Astros. The common denominator is Alex Cora, who was either the leader or was the follower of a j hinge in Houston, and he goes to Boston. And they didn't do exactly the same thing. They did a more modest version, a less obvious version. Because everything in Texas has to be bigger than the Commonwealth of Boston, you know, New England and all that stuff. But yeah, I mean, the Red Sox had a historically great year. They they were overwhelmingly good, and now we have come

to learn that they were. One of the reasons for that is that they were cheating. Back to back years, the Dodgers were stimated and we think what could have been, maybe what should have been thanks to some some cheating scandals in Houston and in Boston. All right, So as far as modern technology, now this is our maiden voyage in a new studio setup. Now I have the remote Geico Fox Sports radio studios that I work out of, which these are the same studios I did radio for

w e I in Boston. But I'm gonna go inside radio for you. So if you're in radio, oh you'll appreciate this. If not, just bear with me. So I had a setup with I s d N, which is a high powered broadcast phone line expensive, well not as expensive as it used to be, but it is expensive as like a monthly fee for it and all that. So I had been using that to broadcast all of these different shows that I do in the the overnight shows,

in the main studio. But these other shows I do, these secondary shows I do from this studio, and I do appearances on radio shows or whatever. I use this studio. So I used I SDN, but the company decided we have to get rid of I SDN because it's it's kind of outdated technology. The phone company doesn't want to pay for it anymore. They don't want to they don't want to, you know, use the technology. So I had

to switch over to a Comrex set up. And I was very concerned about this because it's an Internet based situation and I had a piece of equipment I to install it. I installed it myself, but there were a couple of glitches. It wasn't working perfectly. So I had a team of engineers from I Heeart Media that had to work on this and to to put all this together. You know, Curis and Fred and God love Fred. On his vacation. This is how important I am to Fred

in the engineering department. Fred came to the Mallard mansion on his vacation to make sure that the glitch was out of the the Magic Radio Boxer podcasting box. How cool is that? Yeah, it's not every day that we can have an engineer trek all the way to your house to set up an entire studio for you. You know, microphone une no no, no no. I set up the microphone mixer connectivity and I P line. I'd like you to know. With no engineering background, although I was a technical,

I was a board op when I started radio. I was a terrible board op. But I don't know a lot about how to wire a radio station. But I was able to put together about eight five of this podcast. We had Stay Awake with Jake Jake Warner, who helped finish off the rest of it. But I did most of the work here on the podcast putting the studio together that I have here. So it's not that good.

First of all, it's not like the studio that Steve Harvey has at home, or Rush Limbaugh has in his house but it's you know, it's fine, or Jim Rome has it his house but it's okay. Yeah. Full disclaimer for those out there that know about this. You and Jake went to Ikea and bought a shitty black desk and that's what you're using. That's a lot. No, it's not. This is the same desk I I I love this desk, and you can't find this desk very many places. I have like a corner desk. It's wonderful and it is

actually what I had at the original Mallard mansion. It's I had to glue it together and I had to use like screws to screw it back together. But it's it's still holding up. It's painful, it's not Why is it painful? Well, it's painful to look at. It's just not really professional. But you have an engineer that comes out and it's a wonderfully Look, it's a great desk, is what it is. It's the equivalent of your car in your house. It's fine, it's suitable. Are you yeah, no,

I'm I'm done. You're flooded mansion. Alright? Moving on, we have study this Is it real or is it bullshit? Uh? The study this game here and these are actual studies. We determine whether we believe them or not. First one headline on this from Joy to Triumph. Study finds music evokes thirteen key emotions it lose in you, you know, listeners of of the music. The emotions amusement, joy, eroticism, beauty, relaxation, sadness, dreaminess, triumph, anxiety, scariness, annoyance, defiance,

and energizing. Yeah, I believe that, Yeah, Mike, I My my relationship with music is a I I listened to it, not as much as most people because I but after the show on the way home, I usually listened. I have a long drive and I usually put some music on while I'm driving. But it really is the soundtrack I always, I've said, the soundtrack of your life. Like, if you play classical music, I feel like I'm in a movie. You know that that music that the instrumental stuff. Yeah,

I'm like, Oh, I'm in the I'm a movie. I'm in you know, Martin Scorsese movie or something like that, and there's music in the background. Yeah. Not. But what do you listen to when you go to the gym? Uh? Usually I watch the news channels like Fox News, CNN, those channels, uh, and I either goof on them or agree with them. All right, So I will dip my toes into this. Since you have no backbone on this at all, what do you talk? I listened to music

all the time. So if congratulations, you want a cookie? So if I'm in the gym, it brings out different emotions. Than me, like anxiety, endurance, happiness. It's euphoric in some ways, especially if you're working out hard, which you I know you don't do if you're driving same thing too, because unlike you, I have a much longer drive to get to work, especially when I have to slept up here two hours before I am regularly scheduled. So oftentimes, like that,

the anxiety will kick up a little bit on that element. Um. I like listen to it when I drive home after a long day's worth of work. Here with you guys, especially when your radio shows covered up on M five seven l A Sports, so I can listen to music you like listening to, like Lizzo, you know, Big Lizzo guy, like you really liked when you tworked in that thong.

He thought that was good. I tell you, I listened to like a lot of soundtracks I listened to, well, I listened to some of that, to the movie soundtracks like that what's that guy, Williams? What's the guy's name? The big the great conductor of all that movie? No, not Hans Zimmer, you idiot. What what's the guy's name? His last name? This he created? Like the Star Wars theme and uh, you don't even know the guy's name. John Williams is the guy's name, John. I just came

to be John Williams, not Hank Williams. John Williams is almost ninety years old. I think this guy is an American hero. The music this guy that fee Indiana Jones, Star Wars, the soundtracks, Jaws that he has come up with, Jurassic Park, e t These are a classical movies back before Hollywood just made remakes and superhero movies. That's right. Yeah, that means you should be at least a little excited for one Top Gun two comes out. No, because I think it's gonna gonna make it a chick flick. And

you know, I just like they ruin these things. So no, the new Star Wars is like that, Well exactly, That's what I'm saying. They're like, well, they know the movie business versus all they're overly politically correct. Me. I'm okay with having rom coms for the ladies and for the do you know, the gay guys and for the for the the masculine hardcore men. You can have a Manze movie,

but they don't do that anymore. Yeah, it's unfortunately everyone the studio will never sign off on that kind of stuff. Who right, now, you're correct, it's the world we live in now, all right? Next up globalization. The average modern family spans over blank miles according to a survey average family. How many miles does the average family span? I'm gonna say thirty eight thirty eight miles? Boy, are you bad at this? According to the study, the average modern family

spans over two thousand miles about that coast to coast. Well, we both your your family. You have family in Florida, right that you grew up with live in Florida. But you know, being from San Pedro, most people don't leave Pedro, and if they do, they leave to go to like Long Beach or Torrance or Yeah. Well that's true, but I grew up in Orange County and most people don't leave that. And I have a brother in Appleton, Wisconsin in New York City and both have been gone for

some time. Yeah, well, so I'm separated by about three thousand miles. You're about three thousand miles from someone you grew up with. Yeah, that's true. But they say because of all the video chatting and the messaging services, people are more open to leaving because they can still communicate with their loved ones wherever they are in in the planet. That they can still it feels like you're still there because you can still talk to your your immediate family

and all that stuff. Yeah, which is which is fascinating, because that's why I like to travel so much. As you have the ability to communicate Skype and all these other apps that you can use at any given time. Skype and of course you know FaceTime and a lot of other craps. So that's I'm surprised you haven't moved from where you're at, But you know you're threatening to go to Boston and New York, and you know, I've had, you know, over the years, I've had several offers to

do radio locally in other cities. I had a couple offers to do radio in Boston, but and I would have loved it. Unfortunately, these damn radio stations I became popular after I got married. It's harder to move, Guston when you get married, that you can move anywhere. You don't have a wife or anything like that. You don't have anything to worry about a family and all that. So I I'm in a position when I wanted these jobs in other cities, other markets. I wasn't offered the

jobs now that I can't really freely move around. I have a good job now anyway. I'm not like I'm looking to leave, but I I'm amused that I have been offered these jobs now that I'm not really able to take them. Um. Now, if I lose my job, I will of course then have to relocate. But until then, uh no. So even if I can land you a TV job in Boston or New York, you're gonna say

no to it. Well, it depends how long the contra I am open, because I might be one of those people that communicate via Skype and all that over two thousand miles or whatever. I mean, Yeah, everyone's got their price. I learned that the remember the book The Magic Christian, which was a terrible movie, but they talked about that. You know, anybody will do anything if the price is right. Baby. 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. Alright, next up, we have another study. People with a lazy lifestyle have an ape like heart about that. Uh, I'm gonna call bullshit. You think this is bullshit here? All right, let me give you the details and then we can debate. This study comes out of the Boston area and they

talk about, you know, obviously health and all. It is a new study that confirms the human heart evolved over time for endurance endurance, slowly becoming less ape like in reference to the you know, the original ancestors of human beings. But because of this, the human heart is intended for endurance activities. Those who live a mostly sedentary lifestyle, according to this I'm reading verbatim here are at a much

greater risk of developing heart disease. So they're and they're using the term your your heart is more ape like if you neglect your physical activity. All right, you know what, I'm gonna recant, and uh, I'm gonna recall my my comment. But you said it was bullshit. Now you're trying to take it back. Yeah, I gotta walk that back. By the way. That reminds me. So either way, mane uh, I go to the gym. I know you don't believe that, but so at one point my heart was like a

chimpanzee's hard but now I don't think it is. I'd like to think it's not. But they said that chimpanzees largely sustained themselves on life through short bursts of energy climbing, only putting their hearts to work for short periods of time, and so it's accepted that that's how you know, in in the evolution, humans have obviously changed. Yeah, I gotta spoil this a little bit, but did you watch the documentary I recommended called Game Changers on Netflix? No, I

I recommend you to do that. But it's fascinating. You're mentioned the human heart because there's a couple of spots in it that talks about our ability to fight off infection and fight off disease, uh, dementia, all timers, things of that nature. But it talks about the number one killer for us men, stress and heart disease. And they do all kinds of fastening and measurements with men that are are younger than us, that are are amateur or

even professional athletes. It talks about what you put in your body in terms of fuel or lack thereof, and how we feel lethargic before we go work out because of what we eat. How we feel before we go to bed because of what we eat. So I won't spoil it too much, but I'll say this much. Uh, it impacts us so much about what we put in our body when it comes to our activities in the sack all of that to get the fucking is that what you're getting A well, it's it's blood flow, it's

overall blood flow. And it talks about the way that we consume meat like chicken, steak, fish, and how our body just becomes inflamed and because that it leads to blood poor blood circulation in our heart or actually ends whatever it may be, recoury over muscles. You're watching like vegan propaganda is what you're doing. I'm watching what. No, I wasn't watching who Now? I love documentaries. I watched them all the time. Anybody knows a good documentary, please

send it to me on a weekend. I just sent that to you, and you didn't even watch it. Well, it's not the weekend. I I only I watched sports NonStop. I have a four hour show every goddamn night that I have to do. I have to watch these these games on the weekends. I'll watch games, but I won't pay his close attention. If I'm not on the radio that night. All right, We'll find that I don't have to take notes on a game on a Friday or Saturday most of the time that this weekend I will

because you know, the games on Saturday. I'm sure we'll talk about over the weekend on the Sunday show. All right, well. Game Changers is a documentary that was hosted by a former UFC fighter. His name is James Wilkes, and Wilkes was a UFC fighter, but he also trained special forces in combat tactics. And so what he did was he went he had to recover from two torn a c l s left and right knees, and so he went across the world interviewing people, doctors, athletes, former athletes about

their exercise, diet, nutrition, and on stuff. So it breaks down their type of recovery and what they did when they changed their diet from meat based and plant based. And there was even some bigger dudes that were in there. Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of them as well, and he just talked about the way that his body responded when he cleaned up his diet. So listen, diet's important, but I I think genetic and genetics, and you know that's

it's all plays a role. Like you could have the greatest diet and work out all the time, but if you have bad genetics, you're fucked. You know what I'm saying. I mean, but some people are just predisposed, unfortunately to really bad illnesses because they went in the wrong d NA the wrong line when they were checking into the planet. Yeah, but doctors and hospitals are there to help you recover cover, not to keep you healthy. Then that comes from the food that we put in our body. Well, no, the

the hospitals need sick people, they need you know. It's like I guess I'm going full on tin tinfoil hat guy. But it's the same argument. Like the oil companies. You could probably run a car fine with that. You know the conspiracy there about water. You can run a car on water, But the oil companies want their money and they want that there are the I I read a story this week that the people in Australia, I think it is they're coming up with a battery for an

electric car that goes six miles on one charge. If that happens, I'm in on that. I'm I'm I'm gonna get I don't care how much it costs. I'm gonna buy that because the gas is absurd. Yeah, it's really. But the point like hospitals, you know, they don't want to cure, they want a treatment, because if you have a cure, who's gonna go visit the doctor if you're not sick. Hence why you should eat better. And that's

exactly what this documentary is all about. I eat better intermittent fasting, dude, I'm telling you man, that's the way to go. You also have your body has a chance to burn fat. And you know you don't need to eat every day. I didn't say that, but you didn't make sure you eat well when you do eat once every eighteen two hours. I eat a nice hearty meal. I eat a nice hearty meal. I'm moving on. We

had a couple more here. Uh workaholic? Now, how many out of ten adults on average, how many cannot stop working no matter where they are? What percentage of the adults cannot stop working North America? H This study was done in London, so you have to factor that. I'm gonna say no, they say a staggering they claim of people. They said Overall, almost half of those surveys said they enjoy their work, but six said they hate their habit

of consistently focusing on their job. Only three percent said they actually leave their office each day when their shift is supposed to end. So I listen. I I am, fortunately am one of these people. I'm always thinking about, you know what, would this be something I could talk about on the radio. And I'm always observing, So I I wish I wasn't like that. I know, I've worked with people who are very lazy and show up, you know, right before the show and things like that don't have

any real work ethic. I kind of wish I was like that from time to time because my life would be a lot more easier. And then you know, obsessing over every every second of a radio show. Um, but yeah, I'm just I'm wired that way where I'm always trying to gain an advantage and I'm always trying to find something that will help me and it and I know it annoys my wife when I'm like on a going out to dinner on a Saturday night and I'm looking at my phone to see the score of some NBA

games to see if there's something crazy that happens in there. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. You you actually, I I can understand from her perspective because you did leave her to go to the Pacific Northwest on vacation without her. That's a work assignment. That is a meet the people of the great people of Seattle, Salt of the Earth, Bartley. I like Seattle. I might have to live there someday. That's a good city. I like Jay Scoop. You like j J Scoops cool JJ from Renting. I mean, all

those guys are robbing the Mariner fan. I go down the list. No stradinas the trash talker, the joke writer from Tacoma was there. I mean, all these guys were cool. They're all good guy. Well, I'll go to Jay Scoop for the time being. He's say hello to you or something. Then, no, it must have been nice to you say hello. Any guy that's gonna spend the thousands of dollars that he did on you stop, hundreds of thousands of You got a plane ticket, You've got a hotel, you've got transportation,

you got dinners. All right, we gotta we gotta, we gotta move on, all right, diddy up all right, Uh, children involved in organized sports less likely to have emotional difficulties turn your according to a study. I'm gonna believe that you're gonna leave that. What was that ding that we heard? I don't know those those your did you know? That's your technical producer Robert Gara on the other side, Alright, hitting buttons. I hope he knows that this is going

out on the podcast. We do call him wrong button Bob for a reason. Yeah, we do call him wrong button Bob for a reason. I don't know if he acknowledged that, but he was giving me a one finger salute. So hopefully it's a bad job by wrong by you know, he's he's just a doting dad. I'm wrong button Bob. I'm so happy for him. He finally got off your cancer show and has MAO made something of his career.

He's got a got a child, the spawn of Bob Gara, and he's got a massive house too, which is even better. Wrong button girl whatever her name is. Yeah, so any uh, bad job by him. He should have put his daughter on like it's a small world after all, this flash Mountain at Disneyland. But did not do that, did not do this but he says his wife, I guess had the final say on all Yeah. But as far as this study that you have children involved in organized sports

less likely to have emotional difficulties, I believe that. Yeah, I agree. I mean one of the cool things about sports, when done right, is you are taught a little bit of toughness. Right, You taught a little bit of you know, how to handle losing and and that kind of stuff and things that go bad when you play sports. So I I totally get that, yeah, grit, how to be resilient, how to get up, how to respond, how to be

a pro. Yeah, all right, I got one more. And I know we've gone way along on this portion of the show, but I think I feel like these are good, um, and so when they're good, you gotta do them. I saw this one and I thought of you. Oh boy, all right. News study says an average woman's dress size has increased supermodels waste have continued to shrink because of people like you. Guess guy, I'm not shallow. I told

you already. I like women that are full figured. You live near the Pacific Ocean between the four oh five Freeway the Pacific Ocean. Listen you're a stone's throw away from the Pacific Ocean. I've told you there's a point of demarcation in l A when you're west of the four oh five and east of the four oh five. Uh, there's an elitist, pompous, arrogant asshole continuent. Not everyone, but most people west of the four oh five. Listen, you're

like the Chicago Faithful. You can actually watch a Dodger game from the view of your backyard into Chavez Ravine. So don't give me that bullshit, Like that's the kind of when where I live before, I could do that where I live now, not soone. I don't care. I'm not shallow, And I think that studies bullshit. All right, Well you can think it's bullshit. I don't think it's bullshit because it's your women are getting more plump, and the modeling industry they continue to make them skinnier and

all that. And do you think that could be because of surgery where women are getting uh, breast augmentation or LiPo section, because even lipos section, you're removing fat, but the fat cells need to be replaced somewhere else us. Well, Listen, I I like a crevations. Woman. I know you don't, but but I do. And I don't see why they can't put a bunch of you know, women that have like an hourglass type body or whatever. I don't see why they can't do that at these fashion shows. I

don't understand. I don't know how that works. Anyway, There it is. Those are the study. Is you want some grab bad questions? Do we have time for a few grab bad questions? All right, let's see where shall we go with this? These are actual questions by actual listeners the show. From our Facebook page, Dan in Kalamazoo says, did gag on poison Cooper? Loop? Uh? He wants to know, did you poison Justin Cooper? There? Are you the reason he's missed so much time? Here in he's missed work? Wow? Well,

I don't know. I I no one's awake during your show. There's like a handful of people across the United States that are awake. So I had no idea that he's out. How long has he been out for a while? Well, it's it longer than you. You were out for seventeen days. That's a lie. Eighteen days. Sorry, you're I I missed to two weeks of radio. It's a long time in this industry. Really, you're like, I did a podcast during that time. What's that? You're like? Eddy two point oh?

I didn't go to Australia. I didn't go on for like a month. I didn't do that, and I went to Seattle to meet listeners. You went to Seattle, You went to Baja? Um where else did you go? You were gone? I know that in Vegas had some deep dish pizza. The first time I had Chicago deep dish pizza in Vegas. Giar Donald's wonderful. Do you ever been to g R. Donald? I went to gior Donald's in Chicago, Yes, and it's an amazing I didn't think I was gonna like it because as I looked at the pictures, I

was tomato sauce at the top. I don't like that. But all they did is like they flipped the cheese and the toppings and they put the tomato sauce on top. Did you get meat, lovers, orhere'd you get? No? I got a garlic onion, green pepper um pezz. The mallard, which reminds me to a restaurant week in l A starts in a couple of weeks. So I did tell your wife. I made a recommendation that we should hit up a couple of places. I'll make a deal with you, all right, if you get some money for my insurance,

can't you do it that fast? I will go with you to l a food week or whatever the funk that is. I will do it. That doesn't sound like a great like I have to. I have to fish out money for you for your broken house in order to dine with you. Yes. Well, here's the thing. We have different palettes. I'm more of a truck stop guy, the greasy spoon, the hole in the wall. You are like the bougie, high end two dollars steak guy. You're

that guy. I'm not that guy. I'm not give me a cheese steak with rearby thinly cut and pro bolone cheese and onions and peppers. I'm good. Yeah. Well, I'm more about Japanese wago seven ounces. It's it's perfect, finally cut. But come on, man, I lived, I would, I would eat, but I'm not eating. Like what's that new that that new trendy thing that's in l A. There's a lot of these. Uh, it's a fast food Asian fish place

where Pokey. Is that what they call it? Asian fusion? Yeah, yeah, that's not my I lived in San Diego for like seven or eight years, and I had California burritos all day and all night. Someone give me that ship, right? Can we do some quickly? Can we do some more here and go quickly and not spent eight million minutes on anyway? Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia says, what are your thoughts on the next Mallard Man march being at the super Bowl led by weed Man and Gascon is

not invited? Fuck you listen if it's if it's Marlin's Man, yes, if it's a weed Man, no, Yeah. Well, I have some friends in Miami. I would love to do Miami, although I don't know that I want to hang out with with weed Man. I've been to Miami before. It's been a long time since I been in Miami. We have a lot of listeners in Miami, which we do pretty well there. You know why we do well in Miami. A lot of old people that can't sleep, that have insomnia.

Have you live in Miami that retired? I get emails from these guys and and mostly. I don't think it's any women that email me, but they they you know, guys that lived in like New York or whatever. You know, they moved to the other borough of New York, Miami, and then they can't sleep and they're like, I gotta listen to a little sports talk, and then uh, we're on Florida and Arizona for you. Yeah, Arizona is a lot of Arizona is the retirees from like Chicago and

the Upper Midwest. They a lot of people go to Arizona from from there. All right. Next up, Carlos in Houston says, when is your next minor league baseball appearance? Well, thanks for asking, Carlos. I actually have been in contact with a minor league team about doing an appearance this summer and it you know, I'll let you know if it happens. But I think something will happen in that department.

I know. Guess Scott and you were talking about doing something at a horse track Santa Anita, Del Mar or Del Mar. I'd be all about that. That would be a lot of fun to do a meet and greet. We gotta have enough time so people can travel and hang out and be part of it. But I think that would be fun, Joshua writes, and he says, how do you find Marcel in Brooklyn? Funny or entertaining? News flash? He ain't. I love the rest of the show. Well, Joshua, let me tell you first of all, um, it's a

call in radio show. Now. I've tried to help Marcel become a character. I like Marcella. Marcel means well, he thinks he's Edward R. Murrow breaking news. And I love the guy. The guy. You know, he's not living a great life. He lives in the projects in Brooklyn, and he's eating oodles and noodles. He doesn't get out of his house very much. And one are the joys he gets is is the radio show. And so I'm all about, all right, what else do we? I got a couple

more here. During your most recent Mallard Man Mars, this is from Neil and Van Hoover to the Pacific Northwest. Did you make a pilgrimage to the Mallard Temple Synagogue Church of All Good Things by Kirkland, the Costco headquarters. Uh? No, I didn't, although I will admit when I drove to the airport, I took a flight out of the airport, which is a small airport north of Seattle, and I saw the sign for Kirkland and I got a little excited. I got it. I was a little aroused. I was

a little aroused. I was very excited. I love Costco. I gotta I could get a tour of Costco. Man, I'd be all about it. He friggle, motherfuck, what are you talking about? Nothing? Continue? Yeah, But but as far as the you know, the other way was the Marcel question. Here's another Marcel question. Who would win a fight? Eddie or Marcel draw? They both knock each other out, They just kind of stare at each other. That was from

Brian and Chesapeake, Virginia. Kevin and San Diego says, who wins a fight between San Diego radio legends John Cantara and Lee hack Saw. Hamilton's now at least like four ft eleven. Yeah, but he's feisty. Pack Saw has got some mean meanness in him. And I worked with Hax. I love Cantara the coach, but he's he's a Mr. Soft He's a nice guy. Hacks All will rip your heart out, all right, you know, with some of the things he said back in the day on the radio

to raider fans and whatnot. He doesn't take any ship hacksaw. Lou from the LBC says, when is the last time you were caught watching or looking at inappropriate material TV or online? By who? And what was the material? Yes? I caught you watching something inappropriate? Why why why would you come to me? Well, because you watch your inappropriate if you have, you have your glamour shots. You're on grinder, you watch all kinds of weird stuff. No, the glamour

shots are are for the public. I needed your wife's approval on him too. All right, here's all, he says. You don't have the balls to answer the question, Lou, I'll tell you what happened. It happened at work. Uh, And you know, here's your appropriate stuff every day or work. Well, here's the thing. You know, we have showcase studios right there at the corner of Sapulvan Inventura in l A. And we have TV so you can watch inside the

studio from the street and all this stuff. And oh this has happened more recently, but a long time ago. I had a female producer, Miranda Marina Lover her wonderful woman, she's a mom now, she's married, growing up, all that stuff. So Miranda was my producer and she had just started on the show, and my engineer at the time, he liked skin a Max and he, you know, I didn't control the TVs. You know, I didn't doing a radio show.

I'm not worried about the TVs. I don't really care what's on the t V because there's nothing on overnights that other than infommercials that I would be interested in. So this guy with a female that I we didn't know at the time. She's a cool old woman, she's down with every whatever, but we didn't know that. And he's new and he's watching like Skinner Max porn movies on like two of the four TVs, and I'm like, hey, you might want to turn that off, and he left

them on. That was that was awkward. Yeah, one of your technical directors actually does that on the regular here in the studios. And really I've caught him numerous times, one of my guys. Yeah, not Roberto either, Yeah, no, it's not I don't I don't know. I don't usually pay attention to the TVs because I'm you know, talking, But anyway, I don't six to sports. I know. Oh I just got apparently gotta put the baby to bed. You want to do a couple of these, No, we're
