Dropping Lines

Ben Maller and somebody else. We'll get timid a minute, because four hours are not enough on the overnight during the week, and we are now doing this eight days a week. Please support the podcast. And we're joined by David Gascon for better or worse. He's right over there, guestcon glow be anyway, and we do need the podcast support, right, guest, And this is important. Right, We've said this before, but they the people, the overlords of podcasting at this company.

Reviews are important, downloads are important, the numbers are important. So, um, we need your help, is what I'm trying to say. Yes, I mean we we get pretty good reviews weekly, um, I think, and we need to have more positive views for me than you. But that's just a personal yeah. No, but I'm a big believer in the It's called guerilla marketing. Uh and uh it's the only advertising we ever get. We had. I saw facts in Philadelphia this week. He put the Mallard brand in the middle of the store,

the grocery store, which was pretty cool. Some free advertising the air, Ben Maller right there, Ben Mallor Show. And then our our guy Matt in in Boston, moving man Matt and he put on his truck as he travels across the country Mallard Militia. So that's that's pretty cool. That's that's that's free advertising. That's guys that love the show, that are supporting the show and so so it's pretty neat.

But it's really simple. I mean, the cool thing about this is it's like a lot of these podcasts and eventually I'll probably get to this when they fire me and I'll have to do my own thing. I'll charge you per month to listen to the content. But now it's free. All you have to do is just listen and support support the advertisers, as they say. But for us, it's the five star reviews on the podcast platform you use and and it's download and getting other people to download.

Like and you know, I'm not against. I'm not against if you've got you know, your parents are a little older and they've got smartphones and they don't really know what's going on. I'm not I'm not against. And hey, hey dad or mom or grandma grandpa, can I borrow your phone for a second. I want to set you up on this podcast. And they'll be like, wow, I don't want a podcast is And then you set it up and then they get it automatically when they subscribe,

it automatically goes to their phone. Um. Now, it helps if they actually listen, but even if they don't listen, having more subscribers does does help? Does Now? Have you had a listener get a tattoo of you yet? No? No, that would be a weird one that no one is gonna. The only one I know in radio that has had that happen is the great Tony Bruno and a caller from Maine Mr Main Event who's he passed away a

couple of years ago. That guy was over the top sports radio call at Mr. Main Event and he loved Tony Bruno and he's always in town. He was also an Italian guy, you know Bruno's you know, thick Italian guy. And so he got a tattoo of Tony Bruno on his buddy had he had he had a few tattoos already of like Italian sports stars. You know that he he didn't put on his body, but he so, yeah, he that's the only one I know. I don't know if I would be weird, I would be like, well, what,

I don't know, you really want to do that? But if you love tattoos, I wouldn't like stop you from doing it. You know, I couldn't stop you from doing it, and I'd promote the hell out of it. Absolutely, be a little intense. Maybe, I mean, Fats is litting himself on fire. You've had doc mix. You don't don't encourage this, guest, gun, I don't encourage it. I feel like you're encouraging fast to this. Do not do that. No, I said, that's what fattiest crazy. He'd getting my name tattooed on his ass.

That's how crazy he is. Do I really want that? I don't. I don't know what I want. Oh man, Well that'd be a set to see. I know you'd probably like to see that. You'd like to see that anyway, and listen before we get going onto the podcast. Cameo dot com. Cameo cameo cameo dot com. Uh search my name Ben Maller. Do a personalized video message for you right there in the studio. I usually do this in the studio. If you want me to do in a different room in the Mallard mansion, I will do that

as well. You want to go outside or go outside. You can pretty much choreograph where you want this to be. You want bella, that's a that's a great idea. So if anyone wants to arrange a an instant um, I guess what we would say, a provocative video for you on on social media. How about this, Someone should request you do a video on Cameo from the Geico Fox Sports radio studios. Why do I do? That's a great point. I do it from the remote go Fox Boost Radio studios.

As you know, much like Clay Travis and many of these people were working at remote studios, and so I do it from the remote studio. Absolutely. Yeah. Also, it follow us on on social media Facebook. We use Facebook a lot for the podcast. A lot of the content. In fact, today's podcast most of it comes from questions sent in by listeners like yourself to the Facebook page Ben Mallar show and follow us along there and and

get other people to do that as well. And then on Instagram Ben Maller on foxing on Twitter at Ben Mallard Gascon. How can the Unwashed reach you? Twitter at David J. Gascon. Instagram is at Dave Gascon. So follow me there, poor bevore. What do we do today? What do we got on the menu? All right, we have be or not to Be in mailbacks? Very simple, very straightforward. Here we go. Let's start. You want to start with be or not to be? Let's start with be or not.

I think it's fair to say that. So yeah, So, Ben, this is an ode to the Babylon b which I know you're a big fan of and I I've grown to have an appreciation for. I like that we're doing this bit because now I only have to hear Babylon Be stories one day a week, as opposed to five or six days a week when you would feed my phone and night social media with these stories. Alright, So these are the five titles that did not make the cut. We'll start their fare. Oh I thought you. Okay, so

these did not make them going? These did not make the cut. Alien reports no intelligent life on Earth after landing in Portland, Oregon. Alright, that did not make the cut. Millennial dropped support for socialism after learning how hard it is to get avocado toast in Venezuela. Okay, that's pretty good. California converts carpool lanes into writers lanes harpol Okay, yeah, yeah, I get it. That did not make the cut. Those

did not make the cut. How about this one? Struggling chemistry teacher takes to life of crime, manufacturing plastic straw us to sell in the streets of Santa Barbara. That's so Santa Barbara too. And last, but not least, Nevada Church avoids coronavirus restrictions by installing slot machine. Go. I like that. I like that. Those are good? All right, good. Now we get to the meat, the meat stuff. Now

we get to the good the meat and potatoes. Now, this one's no to benny versus the penny, because typically we get half and half on the selections. It's so much like craps. You're either going black or red. Or you get the green. The green is usually Sunday Night football. But Ben, if if games are not on CBS, where do people usually go to watch their games? Uh, well the games Fox or whatever? So we go on Fox. You got a better watch? So Ben, Fox announces in

the fall they have a new show. It's called Night at the Museum, Revenge of the Statues? Is that b or not the be? They've tried some crazy stuff over the years on television and Fox, But I'm gonna say that's the Yeah. It to all the statues being torn down and taken down all across the United States for any and all reasons. Yes, it's it's pretty pretty well. I think we should put new statues up so future generations can tear statues down. And I think that's what

we should do. Well, we're doing that in front of like Staples Center and in front of all these arenas. Sports sports statues are the one statue that people haven't torn down, unless that's not true because like Joe Paterno had his statue removed, right and Jerry Richardson out in Carolina with the Panthers. Yeah yeah, so even that is not But most of these athletes get a free pass.

I mean, if you knew what some of these guys did back in the time, I mean they were wild people with the morality of today compared to the morality when they were athletes. Yeah. Look, even you know Muhammad Ali, you go down the list. I mean there a lot of these guys lived wild lives, that's right. I mean the these the eighties Lakers. Oh yeah, hell yeah except a C. Green a C. My man a C. He

he kept it in his pants. Yeah. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. How about this one? Be uh? Then the B or not the B Georgia detectives discover dead body is sex doll? Well, I mean this, I'd like to think that. Now. Does this where the report came in and they called, they went out there and then they realized it was a sex doll? Or was this the police initially thought it

was a sex doll? Changes the story? Yeah, they were investigating a crime, so they got called on this, but they didn't know. I I I believe that's true because I my wife tells me stories. She's a nine one one operator. She tells me stories of the crazy stuff people called think they think it's something and is not.

So I think that I'll say this all right, so you are too for to Yeah, BacT in Liberty County Deputes had gotten to a crime scene, but they couldn't approach the body and they couldn't touch it until the corner got there because of policy. So when the corner got there, they investigated. The corps in Tournado was actually a sex doll. So that's that's sex doll. Must have really been a bad sex dollar. This demise like you imagine the B or not the B? How about this one?

Hillary Clinton suggests that Americans vote for president by email. All right, so let's break this down scientifically. Uh does it sound like it's I mean it's yeah, but I haven't heard. I mean I haven't heard Hillary do any interviews. Reason maybe she hasn't. I missed it. I get earlier this week President Trump said they might delay the election because of the mail in voting. Yeah, but I she's not really done a lot of media stuff, so I have not heard it. I think I would have heard.

That's when I probably that was true. I would have heard that, so I'm gonna say that's that's uh, that's Babylon by Yeah, not to say that she's probably not thinking it. The funny thing about the Babylon bise this type of story is now, if she comes out and says in the future weeks, hey, I think that Americans should vote for president by email, they'll say, wait a minute, Uh, you know that was a Babylon bas story. But she

actually said it. You know, it's like it's like those things from The Simpsons when they become in fact, are our guy? Uh, it's having a mental block the political guy we had on? Was it last week? Yeah, Dave Ruben, he tweeted out a Flint Stone's video about media control that was pretty funny, and many people think that that, based on the pulling of the YouTube and the the Facebook video this week, that that is the Simpsons nailed that one. Yeah, they've they've they've hit some great ones

in the past. Yeah. Well, you're on for thirty years, you take some chances. Sure, that's true, that's true. How about this one's gonna be tough because of the location. Florida woman who posted a viral video questioning why officers pulled a gun on her caught stealing a car. Alright, so woman, she claims the officers were doing what they were do, making a video or something. She questioned the officers because they pulled her over and pointed a gun at her, and it turned out she stole a car.

All right. I think this one's true because this sounds I've heard similar versions of this story. So if it's a babalom be, it's I mean, I feel like I've heard some something like this somewhere. You know, you get get stopped for like something, you like, what don't you pull me over? I wasn't speeding and then you find out yet like a warrant or whatever. I'm gonna say that's true. Yeah, you're yeah, I'm on fire. I was born for be or not to be man. So check

this out. This woman in Tampa Bay. She actually posted a video that went viral a police officers pulling her over drawing a gun on her after she was pulled over and reportedly what was a stolen car. She now faces charges Bend of failing to return at a least vehicle and have a fraudulent credit card that was in use. So that so she went from telling officers that she was actually borrowing a friend's car to actually not borrowing it, to stealing a least car never returning it. That reminds me.

One of my favorite shows, and I don't even know if it's still on and I haven't watched it in years, but I used to love it was Bake Car. People watch Bake Car? Is that still? I don't think I don't think so. Yeah, probably not, but it was. That

was a good show. And my favorite part was when they would they would turn the kill switch on the car that was the bait car, and then they'd go and approach the person and then they said, oh, I was just moving the car, or I was helping a friend out or something like that, or you know, I wasn't stealing it. I love the excuses. I love that. That was hilarious. The crap people would come up with when they we know they were caught red handed. It was the car was planted to get great, last one

on the b or not to be. I can go five for five if I get this right. Yeah. Man loses limb skydiving. Man loses limb skydiving. Uh, I mean I think that I can see that I don't want to screw this one up. I did. I remember, I got four right, and then I screwed up the last. I want to say, that's true, Well, you're five for five patting a houses. I couldn't use the full context because I'm sure you would have gotten it right for sure.

But uh Ben. Last week, a guy jumped out of a plane in Addison County his skydiving in a popular spot. But the trick and all this is he actually had an artificial limb that he lost while skydiving. He lost it and needed to get someone else to retrieve it for him. He said in a quote, I think my drilling was so high and I was just excited. I didn't realize I had lost it. He lost his lost his artificial leg while skydiving. Can you imagine, though, trying

to trying to land. Oh man, oh, in that moment when you realize the leg is out, and then and then you're like, oh geez, there you go jump out of a plane. You never know what's gonna happen. Would you be more inclined to jump out of a plane or to bungee jump? Man? I wouldn't. I wouldn't do either. But I guess if I had to choose, I would bungee jump because at least in theory you figure maybe

the rope won't snap. But jumping out of a plane, man, uh, I'm sure it's great for the first couple of minutes. But my my cousin said he did it, and they did it for a bachelor party. He says, the shot of adrenaline you get from doing it. They had a beer right after they landed, and he said he passed out the rest of the day. He slept all day after that. He was just so drained from the adrenaline rush. Oh yeah, it's it's crazy, man. I wonder how long

does the average skydive last? Have you you've never done? No? Never, never, But did you do it? No? I don't even think. I mean I'd be born in kind of skydive than a bungee jump. Yeah, why I I just does you want to leap off a bridge and because of that thing snaps like you know, you're going right into the ground. At least at least if you're skydiving, you have an

idea of where you're going for a landing spot. Anyway, because of their time, some kind of terrain just kind of if the shoot doesn't open, it doesn't matter where you're landing flat, you're a pancake. You're dead. It's over,

lights out, game over. But if you're skydiving, usually skydiving with friends, or your skydiving with a guide, still, I mean they we've seen stories, we've read stories, we've talked about stories where people thought that, you know, they had a guide and the guide had done it for thirty years and this was the day the shoot didn't open, you know, this was when they both died, and that that's that's it. Yeah, I imagine that you're falling. Oh, this is the greatest time in my life. All right,

let's pull shoot. I'm dead. Nothing comes up, and then you got the rest of the time, and I was like, the same thing. I mean, it's still I can still close my eyes and see the videos of those people jumping off the World Trade Center in a nine eleven and how terrible that. I mean, the thing that was your only option, you know, that was your that of the two choices you had, that was the one. And

uh yeah, alright, very ghoulish. Macab be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller show weekdays at two a m. Eastern PM Pacific time out for the mail bag, actual questions by actual listeners. Thus we call it the mail bag, and thank you for the question. You guys have been great, and we asked on Wednesdays, and you guys fill up the mail bag and we try to get everyone on. We don't have time for everyone, so we cherry pick randomly random random questions. All right, here

we go. Valls fan and Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, longtime Mallam militiaman writes and he says, Ben, will you make the Benny Award for best filling for the crew? Jonas has the advantage because no one will sit in your chair. Eddie is making a strong push, and so is Brian Finley. You know who wants even to be nominated is West of the four oh five. Now you don't guess, let me answer that Jimmy Gascon does not want to be Mr West of the four or five does not want

to be nominated because he can't handle the overnights. That's not true. He's such a pussy willow that the overnight lifestyle is too much. Otherwise he would fill in. But they don't even call him. He's on the do not call this yes, because he cannot handle the hours. He's a daytime guy, he's an evening guy. He's not an overnight and not everyone's cut out for You're not everyone's made for the military. Not everyone's made for overnight radio.

You know, I I got to the network and that's exactly the ship that I started on with Jonas and a couple of the guys that went overnight. But you know, I mean, we have ambitions and we have things that we want to do, and certain people are content with staying that way. Um, well I'm not. Let me explain to you how syndicated radio Horse. I know you're new to syndicate, been in the business a long time and

syndicated radio working overnight, you're actually on more affiliates. I am cleared by more radio stations than Colin Cowherd, Dan Pa Trick being on where I am. So you're actually you're available on big, massive radio stations, and you you would be shocked how many people have insomnia and how many people can't sleep, or how many people you know, a couple of days a week they stay up late whatever. So I actually have more of a reach by doing

the overnight show. If I went to a daytime show, I'd make more money because the advertising is more expensive, but I would have less people listening. It's odd that one. I know that. I mean, people also listened to you on the Armed Forces Network, like they listened to you in Japan and Australia and Germany like and all the ships at sea. Yeah, yeah, I get that. It's just the what you have, the luxury of working four hours on the show, or you know, filling it four hours.

You know, each hour it's like dog years. Each hour of talk radio is like seven hours. Did you know that? You don't know that because you you know, you know, like a host guy. No, no, yeah, yeah, I mean but when we do these podcasts, it almost feels like it's cut in half, right because it's easy, it's free flowing, there's no drama. There's plenty of conversation. Um, I'm awake. I know you're not usually working with you know people, Wow,

are you just unloading them? I'm just no. But but I work a four hour show, and I put seven hours of prep into each hour. That's a twenty eight hour work day. So I'm working twenty eight hours a day on the show, and you times that by five. I'm working a hundred and forty hours a week just on the radio show and the podcast. We don't put any effort into so it's different. But but the hundred and forty hours a week, now, do you think that that?

Do you think the anchors should be there during overnight hours for seven eight nine hours a night. Well, the way I look at it, the way the business is going getting rid of a lot of the news anchors, I think you should just be happy if you're a news anchor because I have friends of mine that have lost their job that was sports update guys. So I think you know, I'm all for the more jobs the Marrier and radio. It's already a small enough circle that

work in this business. So I I think, if you know, rather than bitch and complain about it, and I think, you know, why not just enjoy the fact that you actually still have gameful employment. Well, who's bitching and moaning about it? I'm just like alterior motives, I'm no, I'm talking about the purpose because yeah, because you want to you want to fetch the stories, you want to hunt down the stories, and you want the news you want that flow of activity, right like you don't want to

be a bump on a log. And so that's what I'm trying to tell you. I think that's the joy of of doing daytime radio. Yeah no, no, all right, let's see here, any meny money more Pierre from Springfield, right, so he says, But just like the Mallard militia eat their own, the cancel culture and mainstream media have once again set there are sites on another the Hollywood leeds this time Ellen de generous. Do you think it's time

for a new segment of the Fifth Hour? So this is this is Pierre helping us with content, all right, he says, do you think it's time for a new segment here dedicated to the latest pop culture, sports figure, or anything else that is deemed offensive, sexist, racist, pigoted. And he even came up with a name for the bit. He says, another one bites the dust, he said, you can call another one. By says, So he wants us to feature someone or something in pop culture that has

been canceled by the mob. That's a pretty good idea because we could have completely opposite takes on it, too, right, like where I would feel that it shouldn't be canceled, and you do, and vice versa. There's very few things I think should be canceled. Yeah, so it's a very small it's like a thimble the the amount. But that's actually good here. We'll consider that. We're all about the content, and I know we'll obviously bring it up something big

in sports, but we can do pop culture. We're allowed to do pop culture, all right. Matt in Dallas fort Worth rights and he says, Ben, don't you think it's time to change the name of the Mallar Militia if fort because I guess he's referencing cancel culture. Uh. It forced to change in the name because you know, militia promotes violence and as offensive to pacifists and Brian Finley, what would you select? Uh? Well, Matt, thank you for your patronage. I appreciate that. Um and I I didn't

even come up with the militia, the Mallard Militia. That was a guy named appropriate enough, Johadas John in Michigan, who was a big super fan of the show years ago in the early two thousands and was like like a biggest fan and he just gave up on sports radio I don't know, it's a weird story would happened to him. But he was upset because his teams didn't win. And he said, if I don't, my teams don't win. By the time I turned forty, I'm never gonna watch.

And he didn't watch. He was a man of his word. He stopped, he stopped listening, and gave up sports and and all that. But I think the militia is a noble, noble group. Um. And if you look at the definition of a militia, it's a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement the regular It's a support staff for the army in an emergency. That's why we have the Mallard. Oh, now we haven't done the Mallar oath on the show. If you want call up

next week. This coming week here, we'll do the Mallard oath. But yeah, yeah, I mean, listen, I I don't even but if we did change it, what would we what we'd call I don't know. We'd call it the Mallard Armed Forces, the Mallard. How about this Benny's Battalion. That's good, you like that, but that's offensive. Also, Benny's Benny's brigade or you know suddenly is that kind of rhymes or Mallard's military or you know Mallard mob. Oh mob, Yeah, I could do that. I could be the underball, you

could be the underboss. I'll be the mob. That's good. There you go. We have a bunch of captains that actually probably would work better than militia. No, because no, because then you then all these all these militia members would want to have a rank. Oh yeah, they wouldn't na just be uh yeah, the soldiers they are, or the what do they call the lower in the mob? What's the lowest frank of the mob? I don't know,

like a gopher? Um no, they I know they had the boss, they have the underboss, they have the captain, and then below that, I forget what it is the lowest rank. To watch Good Fellas again, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am easterncific. All right, Chris in my ketto, I I think I'm portraying that we've had that before. Chris is a regular. He says, for a gascon, what are

your favorite bets on the craps table? You sounded like a don't player on a previous podcast for your information, everyone hates don't play. Yeah, yeah, so I don't play that. Don't come line. I will only play either no tens or no fours. And basically, Ben, what that means is this, because you've played craps before, right, I what I have done with craps. I don't understand craps. I just might I just follow the person who seemed hot and just

mimic their bets at the craps table. So I'm the worst person when it comes to this, but I like, I'll go. I hear a lot of always in the back of the casino back when normal times, during the apocalypse, before the apocalypse, and I'll go over there. I was like, Okay, this guy's winning some money. I'm gonna put some money down on whatever he's doing, you know, right, Well, so okay,

so follow me on this then real quick. Because the point of craps is when you have your initial role, like your first role, um, the goal is to either roll a seven or eleven. And so if you're betting, if you're betting on that role, you want to hit a seven or eleven any kind of combination. Okay, So if you do not hit seven or eleven, and you hit any number that ranges either from four to ten, you'll have the pit bosses will have a marker, and

that marker will go on that number. So let's just say, for argument's sake, your opening role was not a seven, it was not eleven, but it was a six, okay. Because the game of craps is probability, sixes and eights are your highest probability of numbers to be rolled outside of a seven. Okay. So the only way for you to make more money now on your initial bet is that you have to now hit another six, and you have to hit the six before you roll another seven.

If you roll a seven, the entire table loses. Now, I either bet No. Four or No. Ten. The reason why I bet either No. Four or No. Ten is I'm betting at any time that you will never roll a ten or four before you roll a seven. And the reason why is because the four and the ten are the lowest probability on the board outside of you rolling snake eyes or box cars, which is double six.

Is so what I bet though. Here's the kicker, though, is that if you want to bet, and let's say you want to bet like twenty five bucks that you'll you'll roll seven or eleven and you win twenty five dollars. I can't do that if I roll if I bet like a No. Ten or No. Four, I have to bet fifty dollars. So it's the odds are one to two, not two to one. So it's one to two odds at the bet fifty dollars just to win twenty five all right. So it's a it's a very patient and

like methodical approach. So to answer his question, I don't fade the table. I just fade the shooter from rolling a four or ten because if any time you roll a seven or you hit your number like you hit the six, I don't lose my money, but I don't win any money where everybody else does. Uh huh. All right, I'm gonna have a headache if we talk more about this. I'm sorry. Vegas, baby, when are you going? We were supposed to go to Vegas. I talked to somebody who's

in Vegas that recently said it sucks. It does. All the restaurants aren't open the way they used to be. The stuff's closing down early, you know, like casinos are open but nobody's socializing. Everyone's plastic up everywhere, and they get over the mask the whole time. Isn't Robbie or don't you have a couple of followers that are poker players, that that are instant city Oh, Robin Vegas. Yeah, yeah, I've got a couple of guys like that. I mean, do they play anymore? Or what do they do? I don't,

I don't know. They haven't told me. I'm not sure, all right, Dave writes in from St. Paul Minneso. He says, how do you feel that Joe Kelly got a longer suspension than any of the cheating Astros. Well, then we talked about that on the radio show, did several milelogues. Wait, probably too many monologues about the Dodgers and the Astros. But now listen the Rob Manford is a co conspirator

and what the Astros did. He's the getaway driver. He didn't rob the bank, but he was outside the bank and he was ready with the car running and jump in,

let's get away. And it's it's just wild. I guess the analogy is somebody steals something from you and the police don't do anything whatever, and then and then you eventually get to the point we're like, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna do something to this person, and then they get you for They're like, well, what, no, you You're not supposed They're allowed to steal whatever they stole, but you're not allowed to get your revenge. Yes, bullshit, bullshit,

that is what it is. Ethan An akron right, And he says, who is the voiceover guy for Fox Sports Radio? Is it a real person? I was watching a Dodger game with the radio feed and I heard him on one of the Dodger ads. If he's a real person, you guys should get him on, Ethans. Well, Ethan, it is a real person. It's a voiceover artist. And that's all he does is voice commercials and the imaging for Fox Sports Radio. And I would be I would be cool gettinghim out. I don't know this the current voice

guy the early days of Fox Sports Radio. Man, I'm having a mental block here. Damn uh. The voiceover guy who's now the voiceover guy for ESPN was the voiceover guy at Fox and we interviewed him. We were doing shows at the Fox lot and we had him in and this guy lived what a great life. He Uh, he worked at his house kind of like I'm do now. And and but what he said that the big money in voiceover is for movie trailers. He did a few

of those. And and the guys in l A they'll pay key up in a limo probably now you just do it from the house, but they pick up on a limo. They take you to a little booth at the studio. You have like an hour voice session, and they pay you thousands and thousands of thousands of dollars and and you end up working like about an hour a day to save your voice. But yeah, yeah, i'd be cool. I'd be interesting to have him on and ask what it's like to be a voice over a guy.

And and uh, you want to track him down? Gascon talked to to Veto or some of the guys in the back there and see if we can get his name. Can I can try to do that? I want to be a problem. Yeah, hut him down, probably build a company for the podcast, all right, I would, Uh Andy writes in from Long Lake, Minnesota. Well that's offensive, Long Lake. What if you're not long Who's gonna buy the Timberwolves? KG and his billionaire Boys Club or well, that's a

great question. Uh Andy. My My theory on this is a if all things are equal, it's Kevin Garnett, right, because if the big ticket, you look at how the NBA is and they they they want to get more former players involved in the upper ranks of the NBA for several reasons. But I gotta think that if Gardnett and and by all accounts he's gotten was it three or four billionaires together, if he's close or the same, they go with him. So I would say it's up

to that. And after if the money is a lot different, and if it's not close, highest bidder wins, highest bidder win. Carlos in Houston, right, So he says Boston cream Pie or Banana cream pie? And and when is Skeeter and Montana getting his pie party? All good questions. I love Boston cream Pie. It's wonderful. I've had it at the first that hotel in Boston where they claim the legend is that they first serve Boston cream Pie. Uh but banana cream pie for the win. Banana cream pie for

the win. Yeah, I notice on that. It's you know, it's just the reality. It's just you know, in some parallel dimension, it's Boston Creempie. And as far as Skeeter, I owe Skeeter a phone call. He gave me like a three hour window to call him. So I need a call Skeeter. Uh, but I don't know when the party. The party got pushed back. But we'll still have the party.

We'll honor Skeeter. Miguel on fire from wrencho Kuka Manga. Right, So he says Ben and Gascon, if you too were multi talented musicians, what genre of music would you guys most likely be playing? Uh, well, pretty nuanced. I could play any genre of music. But if you're going into music, most guys go into it to get the full effects of the perks of the music, which is the ladies. So I you know, some kind of rock, right, some kind of what's that? Or what's that? Who's the guy

that is he still popular? Dave Shearon? Is he still a big deal? He's getting a lot of attention, you know from the other fairer sex. Right, I might go classical, like I might go, I think you can't go wrong with See here's the thing with piano. You can play the piano into any kind of genre. So if you're doing that for also the female companionship, you get some worth females that are yeah, you do, you do like the cougars. The cougars are coming. The cougars are coming. Yeah.

Alright, Moving Man, Matt rights and he says, currently I'm in North Bend, Washington. Why on earth Brian Finley. He makes Jared from Subway a candidate for babysitting. Dudes are creep and guess John Sucks is from Moving Man Man. Well, this it's a little harsh on on Finley. Finley's heart

is in the right place. I mean a little over the top on some of the some of the fun that we were having. Yeah, it lit't carried away there. But we'll get him. He keeps filling in for Eddie, and Eddie takes in the more time off, and eventually we'll we'll we'll whip Brian Finley into shape. I'll be like, I'll be like one of those NBA China basketball camp you were saying that article with the thirteen year olds are getting drilled in the face by forty year old coaches.

That seems reasonable. Ship. Oh you go. If you don't listen boom right in the right in the channas, right in the channas, Jason said, moving man Matt would rather be served jello shots by Bill Cosby at a pool party hosted by Jerry Sandusky, then listen to Brian fa It's a good line, Jason. That's a that's an in line. I'm guessing Brian Finley locally docally do probably will not find that funny. He will not find a humor in

that at all. But so on Marco from Oakdale Rights, and he says, is there a chance that the Finley fanatics will take the Mallar Militia to lunch someday? Or will we be divided? Uh? And then he and then he says, Marco says, Finley fanatics lives matter is what he says. Well, Uh, yeah, there you go. Look at that. There's things popping up here, sound sound effects popping up. Ah, that was clearly a screw up by somebody. I will say, no,

the Finley finaticals don't even exist. They're a fignant figment of Brian Finley's imagination. There's no such thing as the Finley fanatics. It's all just a made up operation. So forget about that. Uh let's see here, any meany mighty mo uh Ulysses in Virginia Beach. Right, Since you think the NFL will ever play the same players in offense and defense? If not, why every other sport does it? Well,

uh Ulysses, I'll answer it this one, all right. They don't do it because they're worried the players will be worn out. They want them fresh for the fourth quarter of games, and it's physically draining, and it gives the other team an advantage. If you're playing a couple of players both ways the fourth quarter, they're not gonna have any energy left. But with the pandemic the way it is,

I am relatively confident. I am relatively confident that if they lose enough players, we'll see more and more two way players. We're gonna see that. Did you play two ways back in the day when you played, I did a little bit. I played on the offensive line on goal line situations. I played on on the defense, defensive line, defensive en defensive line, I was. I was the guy in the middle of plug it up, so they couldn't run in the middle as they took up the middle.

All right, who's next? Ro Ricardo from Fresno rights in and says, hey, Ben, do you not believe in momentum or momentum in sports? Well, Ricardo, I don't know how long I've been listening, but I do not. Momentum is a weasel term. It's right there with home field, the locker room chemistry, savvy veterans, all championship pedigree, bulletin board material. These are terms used by sports media people to explain

the outcome of event. And my proof on that is when the outcome that is expected does not happen, then those things are never mentioned. For example, like if the Patriots when they beat the Rams, they talked about the championship pedigree and the savvy veterans and the experienced Super Bowl experience. If the Rams had won that game and it came down to the fourth quarter, none of that would have been mentioned. None of that would have been mentioned.

And like you know, team team chemistry. That was a big one for me because I covered the Clippers in the nineties were terrible and they got along, they hung out together on the road. They all loved each other. There was a brotherhood in the locker room. And they got on the court and they were dribbling down their chin if you know what I mean, not a court. They just couldn't They couldn't do anything. They were terrible. So I don't believe in that stuff. I don't believe

in like actual momentum. If you push something down a hill, the momentum will pick up. But as far as actual amentdument sports, there's things like confidence that I believe in. Uh. And you know, people get confident. When you're confident you do something, you can do it over and over and over, um more effectively anyway. So that's that. Uh. Joe and Virginia Beach says, are the furloughs over. I'm not dissing the replacements. I listened to some of them on the weekends.

But my schedule works perfectly with cooking with Roberto Puck the world instead of Iceline, etcetera. I look forward to those bits. My local is forcing the sports junkies, honest all right, So I can't I can't address the sports junkies. I don't know what's going on with that. That's a local programming decision. I don't know those guys. Maybe they're good guys. I have no idea. But as far as the furlough thing, uh yeah, I mean I I any I believe is done, I am not. I still have

a lot of furlough time left. I'm most likely going to take some of it in August. I'm trying to get it out. I don't want to take any time off during football, uh the NFL, because I'm confident there will be an NFL season. So I'm gonna take maybe a couple of long weekends in August. So I am warning you, and I'll try to let everyone know. But I have for a lot of furlough time left. I've only used I think a few days of it. So

so we have that. Uh let's see here. Barry and Chattanooga, Tennessee says, of all the game shows that you do on your program, what is the one you like the best, and which one do you like the least? Which one would Gagon do the worst? That well, Gagan would be bad at all of them, but my favorite games. Mallard's amount of Money has become a big favorite of mine. I love password using the Mala maneuver. That's kind of cool.

Years ago, my favorite was balder Dash, but we used to call it Jeopardy back when we call the Jeopardy and we do like two segments of it. The one that I'm not the happiest with would most likely be coach player entertainer. It's one of the reasons we don't do it every weekend. Um, I just think that doesn't I think it's something missing from it. I don't know what it is. I like the concept of it. It's been good occasionally, but maybe we need some tweet and

I had to be open to a new game. If you have any want to suggest something that you think would be a good radio game show, Barry and Chattanooga or are you listening, um, feel free email me. I'm open to it. I'm absolutely, absolutely opening to it. Oh but uh, let's see games games are probably little bit better than Power Hours. So yeah, I'm still upset about that. You're still upset that Cowboy and Windsor was a bigger star than you. Yeah, you're annoyed by that. Yeah, I

know you had your minions reach out to me. What do you do? What guest going poet I know, I know, I'm usually asleeping that time. John from Shiphole, Colorado rights and he says, hey, Ben, do you ever let your right hand know what your left hand is doing? No? I do not. R J in send A Tonio's temporarily says in Bremerton, Washington, he says, what kind of tacos do you prefer to eat? What kind of toppings do you put on your tacos? Well, I'm a I'm a

crunchy taco guy. I like the graando tacos. Uh. Tito's Tacos is the holy land of tacos in in in the Los Angeles are in Culver City is just east of the four oh five. Thank god. I wouldn't go there if it was west of the four or five. But it's just east of the four h five freeway in Culver City. Uh, And I love that place. I would eat there. I actually did eat there twice a week when I lived closer to it. Now I go

there once every four months to get my fix. But that would be that would be the one will in Virginia's Ben, I just saw. As far as toppings, I'm I'm basic, I'm I'm meat cheese at lettuce. That's it. That's it. I don't I don't know. Maybe you know, throw some other stuff you want, but that's what I will write, and says, Hey, Ben, I just saw a Fox News story where San Francisco bus driver was beaten with a baseball bat for not letting three men, uh not wearing mask on his bus? Was that Lance the

bus driver? And uh no it was not. And then he says, when will the Giants try using those bats during a game? Well, that's a good line. It's a good line. I think that's it. Guess are we good? Yes? Yeah, good, alright, wonderful, Well, thank you. Another weekend in the books. You put it on the bard. Yeah, outstanding, all right? And uh cameo, cameo, cameo, follow us on social media, anything else to promote guess gun,
