Fan Boys

Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. The immense power of I Heart and podcasting, the global reach of podcasting all over the I Heart Podcast. Now we're going anywhere you get podcast we do. Thank you for downloading, subscribing to the show five stars. Remember five stars. That helps us out. It seems lame, why would anyone care about that? But the people that are the overlords of the podcast game that does matter to them. So I know it's a pain in the ask to do it.

Nobody does it. I don't do it, but if you it's a it's a way to help out the podcast and do it. It's free. It's free to do it. So you can help us out by reviewing the podcast and also just telling telling people I've told the story before. I had a guy who I don't even know, he is a fan of the show in Colorado who recommended our podcast to a woman who I had dated years ago, who moved to Colorado, and she contacted me out of

the blue. That's what I'm looking now. Obviously, it made me feel good about myself, but more importantly, it's word of mouth advertising, and that's the most effective advertising. So please keep that up. And we are joined, unfortunately from west of the four oh five, from David Gascon who he's making his way in here, the man that put narcissism on the map. It's gonna be here. It's gonna

be the last of the four oh five. I wake up every day a loud and proud and grateful for that opportunity, just to strep my ship West little four oh five while you sulk and bitch and moaning over that burned tomahawk East of the four oh five, there's no burn tomahawk. The tomahawk is it perfectly fine. It's in a climate controlled environment. I'll make a deal with you, how about this. If the Dodgers win the World Series,

I'm gonna cook the tomahawk. How about that? Okay, you're gonna cook the tomahawk anyway, So no, no, no, no. If they don't win the World's I'm gonna wait till one of my teams wins a championship, and then I'm gonna have a celebratory Tomahawk's day. Let's I'm gonna make a bet with you. Are a deal with you. I am never fucking getting you a birthday gift ever again. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no no ship well again yes gon alright, hey, douce, nozzle, listen,

let me explain something. Okay, I was planning on making the steak, but you badgered me so much that as an act of punishment for your mouth feasance. That's the second podcast in ROW I've used the word mouthfeasance. It's a big word. I'm very proud of myself. I went to Saddleback College. But but no so because every time you complain about it, and these these nim rods, you're a little sick of fans. Uh. There are not many

of them from West to the four h five. But I'm like, okay, there's another two weeks I'm not gonna eat them. I'm not gonna eat the tomahawk because this guy sent me a message about the time Hawks, so I'm not gonna eat it. You're just passing out audio demerits to people. Yes, tough love guests, and I believe in tough love. It's the Mallard way of doing it. That's why I'm critical here. I believe in hard work and tough love. That's how I do it. Damn right

to see if the Dodgers pull this thing off. Constructive criticism is how I do things here. They don't trigger a lot of people. Hopefully just listen to the dot. If the Dodgers somehow f this up, okay, if they slide on the banana peal, Roberts is gone. Uh cursed. They gotta get rid of Crusha anyway. I would not keep him or i'd trade him, but wholesale change. Justin Turner is not gonna be back. He will definitely not be back if they lose the World Series. Keep Hernandez

bye bye, bye bye, see you later. Go down the list. Listen. If the Dodgers blow this, I wouldn't mind you putting that tomahawk into your laundry cart and then pushing the laundry cart onto the four oh five onto income They're gonna win. I got you gotta believe, Actually, don't have to believe, but I I am still relatively confident. Not knowing what has happened in recent days is where you know this podcast was was recorded at another time. But um,

I'm I'm still optimistic. You're still optimistic. So we have the mail bag. This is a mail bag podcast. This is the podcast dedicated to the people, by the people, for the people. These are actual questions sent in by regular fans of the show, submitted via the Facebook page

Ben Malller's show. If you want to send a question in every Wednesday, usually Wednesday in the morning, unless I forget um, we we post something on Facebook and then you can you can send yourtions in and if you don't want everyone to know your question, you can email the question. If you're not on Facebook, like Guestcon's not on Facebook. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. And did you did you have your wife comment on our iTunes page? Uh?

Not that I know of. If she didn't tell me she did. What if you're a fan of The Ben Mallor Show Fox Sports Radio weekdays two a m. The six, or even if you're not, you'll find these weekend podcasts thoroughly entertaining. Friday editions are generally an interview conversation with someone entertainment, sports, or communications. Saturday is a mix of conversation, interesting survey studies, and findings. Sundays mostly listeners submitted questions

via the Facebook fan page or email. I highly recommend all these podcasts and thoroughly enjoy listening to Ben power his way through the podcast, despite of blatant attempts by his coast to sabotage almost every episode. And it was tannled. It was titled markis Maller? What kind of piece of shot? I got it up? That's from Mario. That's the great Mario. Mario. You get a golden ticket ticket? I just did. I

just did. I gave the man a golden ticket. That's what we're looking for right there, That is what we're looking for. We've got to get and how many ratings we have like two hundred was it two ratings or something like that? Can we get this is the ultimate test here, guesscan can we get to three by the next podcast. No chance, can we get to to seventy by the next podcast. That's that's a chance. Yeah, that's doable.

All right. What are the odds that we will get another eleven people to take time out of their lives and spend about a minute reviewing our podcast on the Apple podcast page. Well that's high because there are repeat commenters on this and you even had that little guy from Arizona spells everything wrong. He comments on Hairy multiple times too, So you're such a dick. You're such a dick. Yeah, I like the guy. I think this is probably one

of the Cincinnati bros. Might have been Justin or just Josh who uh just see the name they use their on the review of the the Sunday podcast. Did you see that? No? I did not see that. Yeah I didn't. Yeah, yeah, I don't think we're allowed to say that. But that's an inside joke here at the one of the people I work with, someone I work with that might use an alias, or someone I used to work with or maybe still work with. I don't know. Yeah, that's a yeah,

it's a reference. Are you ready for the questions? Are you ready to slice through this? I was just asking if your wife had written that, but now you my my wife does not right reviews, which is weird because she does value reviews. Like when we go back in the older days we were allowed before the monarchy, Yeah, like, oh this is great, we should try this place, you know. And I'm like, because I know a lot of that stuff on. It's like they're algorithms and you can pay

people to for reviews and all that. But we unfortunately, we don't have to worry about that because the the monarchy here in California, his majesty has not allowed us to go eat at restaurants in most of the big cities, although in Orange County it's amazing. I can go to Orange County and you know, we live in l A. But you go down and see my dad and go I have a nice meal at a restaurant inside. It's amazing.

God forbid, it's not safe here where I live. All right, Chef Scott from New Orleans, we should go hang out. I don't know what restaurant Chef Scott works out. We should go hang out with. I've heard amazing. I haven't spent any time in nuorleances. I've heard good things. I don't know that i'd like the food there because it's a lot of seafood. But I did like the the kingcake that Barbara in New Orleans sent and some of that food looks really good. That that's gonna be picky

on it. But Chef Scott from New Orleans rights, since I listened to a lot of Art Bell through the nineties and the two thousands, even though I was never a big believer in most of that stuff, if the corporate mucketymucks bend commanded you to do one four hour weekday show in the style of Art Bell, what would be your topic, possible guests and why are you so interested in it? And did your mom like to listen? Also, And Chef Scott says, those ghosts, the ghost Halloween specials

were awesome. Yeah, Art Bell is amazing. I got to meet Art one time. He was I don't know, if you know, it's a bit of an introvert and I didn't get out much in a hermit and all that stuff. He lived in Perrump, Nevada um. And so they brought Art in at one of the early days of Fox Sports Trader, which is part of the Premier Networks, and they had a big He used to have these big Christmas parties in Beverly Hills. It was awesome and they'd fly in all the big talent around the country would

come in and hang out. And um, I got to meet uh, Matt Drudge was there. Doctor This is back in the Doctor Laura days, um Limb Ball like all the big shots, and it was it was great. You know, they have the they'd have the main table. But Art was part of that anyway, and so I got to meet him one time. But if I were doing Art Bell show as a homage to Art, uh, my mom did listen to him. That's one of the reasons I

started listening to him. I come from a family of night owls and uh, and so that was part of it. But I used to love when Art would do the stuff about Area fifty one and and I always got a kick out of that. And and also he would do a lot of shows about like cattle being mutilated by they thought aliens, you know, those kind of things. Uh. And then all the Kim trails would be good. Um. But the thing about Art is he would he would never say, hey, that's bullshit. He would listen to anybody,

you know, and because it made good radio. It made good radio and listen to anybody. So yeah, I was a big fan art. But it'd be fun. You know, one of the guys, Steve Mason, who used to work with it Fox, is a big afternoon guy at a different station in l A now. But Steve Mason got to fill in on Coast to Coast a few times, and and that's that's pretty cool, know you know how it crushed with that would be your boy Leaklin. He

would absolutely demolish that. The Prince of darkness. Yeah, I think if you've really done that for But he would just focus on government conspiracy. Yes, that's great. He would focus on government conspiracies. Uh yeah uh. And then the chef Scott says, dude, eat the frozen tomahawks soon. I'm actually starting to have a smidge of sympathy for gag On. I used to charge a hundred and seventy five dollars for a forty two hounds tomahawk. He says it's a restaurant,

very popular. I guess he works at the Casino Steakhouse. That sounds pretty good. Is that on? Is that on the water though? What's that? Well? The Casino I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. He didn't say exactly where he works, but that's what he implied. And he said he he dropped the name here, which is kind of west of the four oh five ish. He said

that he prepared. I think he said here, if I'm reading this right, the Tomahawks steak for Adrian Peterson while he was suspended from from the NFL, he came into his restaurant in New Orleans with a group and they made the Tomahawks steaks. Did he did he hit it with a switch. Yeah, that's how they tenderized it. Yes, they tenderized it with Adrian from DTC. Where is dt CD? You know what that know? What is is that downtown Denver? No, No,

that's not downtown Denver, Okay, he says. Anyway, wherever that is, we don't know. I think he's in Denver, he says, or near Denver. I've been trying out inter minute fasting for a week or so and need your expert advice. Well, you've come to the right place, Adrian. I'm curious to know. The email continues, what you are eating when you are breaking the fast. I'm struggling with sweets and junk food. How strict are you with sweets and junk food when

you are not fasting? Not not strict at all. No, I'm not and uh and and you don't need to be. That's the cool thing. Now. Obviously there's dietary reasons you need to keep track of some of that stuff. But I fast so much I've worked up my resistance to fasting that it's to me, it's more about the time of it, where I'll go sixty five hours without eating, which you should not do. You should never take advice on fasting from a podcaster or overnight radio guy. But

I've worked myself up to the point. So but then when I end the fast, um, I'll eat pretty much whatever I want, but I'll only do it within one hour. And you can't really eat that much in one hour because you're your appetite while you think you're really hung but you fill up pretty quick. I've noticed that. And then I've also noticed because of the gall bladder, after I fast for a long time, whatever I eat immediately comes out the other end pretty quick, So it works

that way as well. Um, But I would recommend for somebody starting fasting thirteen hours is a good way to start and then work your way up to sixteen hours. And I used sixteen hours as my baseline, but I usually end up fasting Adrian. I try to get even on the days I don't do along fast. I try to get like twenty two to twenty three hours of fasting in and then I'll eat for an hour and then I'll start the clock again. But I've got some neurosis. I I I have a lot of neurosis when it

comes to being a fat guy. My entire life and all that stuff. It's it's messed me up a little bit. So how about you like kind of ease your way into eating by having fruit, Like that's the easiest way to do it, like watermelon, watermelon, strawberries, apples, grapes, like something. You know. The weird thing that I've noticed about with the with the combination of the gall bladder and the fasting, this is phenomenon that's happened the last month or so. So I try to do one sixty plus hour fast

a week. My it's my Michigan, right, um, and so you shouldn't do that, but I do it once a week. I I go sixty I usually from Saturday night to like Tuesday, I won't eat normally. And Gascott knows that because he'll send me food porn pictures Dick that he is anyway. Um, but I have noticed now, like when i get to about the sixty hour mark and I'm winding down my fast, but I've still got a few hours left, and I'll go from my walk, my my

hiking around urban hiking. If I drink water, even water will trigger a reaction like a lot of water will trigger me having to run, make a run, I'll have the Tennessee trots and have to go on and go to the bathroom right away. It's weird. What if you increase the temple on how you walk is the same thing. Yeah, it don't really even have to walk. I think it's just when you drink a lot of water after you've been fasting for that for whatever forever reason for when

you fast for that long, it happens that way. Anyway. I hope that answers your question, Uh, to start thirteen hours and the key when you're forming a habit. And I've said this many times, but it bears repeating here, and you talk about habits and how long it takes to have a habit, and there've been studies on this.

It to get something part of your routine. To create a habit, you have to do something for I think the numbers that like sixty six days or something like that, and then it becomes ingrained and it's it's like automatic, right, I mean, it's almost automatic at that point. But there's there's a magic number to form a habit, and uh, I'm not sure exactly. I don't remember exactly the time. I think it was like sixty six days or something like that. There's a there's a good cheat code for

him though. If you can not eat four hours before you sleep and then max out on sleep before you have to wake up. Like let's say you get eight hours of sleep and you fast four hours before you go to bed, that's twelve right there. So then yeah, exactly, I mean, yeah, that's four hours you got. Now it becomes a little more problem problematic for people like myself who sleep about four hours a night. Um, that's a little difficulty. So I can't really I can't do that,

guess you know. What I'm saying doesn't doesn't quite work for me, so unfortunately, But yeah, forming habits that's the key in anything like what people make bad habits. But if you can make good habits, or at least things we think are good habits, then that's the that's the way go, right, What is a good habit? By the way, do you I don't even know what a good habit? I mean, everything's in moderation, I guess. And then they said, but sixty six days is the number. I looked it

up here. And you had a good habit of leaving the studio and walking around the block. I did. I did. Yeah, I would time out how long the commercials were and I would walk around the building. And I did that for many years. And I was friends with all the homeless people in Sherman Oaks around the I heart Media building there, the Premier Networks building. I knew Limben. Yeah,

it's where Sherman Oaks. There's so much money in that part of l A. But if the people only knew what it was like in the middle of the night, the the type you know that, I mean everyone, I feel bad for people that are down their luck, but people coming out of the woodwork and it's like a very expensive neighborhood in l A. A lot of the rich people you know, live up in the hills right above there and come down shopping those stores and then

go to the restaurants and it's like man. Uh Adrian also says, I want to comment on Dave Logan yet again? Have you reached out to Dave Logan guestcott Everyone wants Dave Logan on the podcast. I have not, he says, If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dave Logan is the last collegiate athlete to participate in at least three sports year round while attending college. Well, there's a question right there. We could ask Daved Logan off's true or not? Try to get him on and see we can get him

on next week. Reach out to him, all right, Will in Illinois rights and says, it's your biggest fan. That's right, this is the fattest fan of the show, the great Will And he says, checking in on the Bob page update and he sent me an email here. Will says, I reached out to Bob on Twitter and he seems to have changed his opinion of you. In fact, he would love to be a guest on the podcast. Uh see attached for the exchange and I am looking at the on the screenshots here, and Bob was very nice.

I wonder what happened. Bob was a dick before, but now he's being He says, I used to work with Ben nice man. Why would he want me on his podcast? And then then then he said he would happily go on the pod because that's nice. Yeah, I have nothing against Bob. I love Bob's got some great stories. Bob, as we've have said before, he replaced Howard Cosell on Howard Cosell's radio show speaking of sport, and he threw

some haymakers on television in New York. He was on MSG taking shots at the Knicks and and they actually had good teams when he was at MSG. They weren't terrible like they've been ever since. But yeah, I don't know that we want to have Bob on the podcast, but it's nice that he's nice, and i've you know, now that he's made up with me, I'm good. Uh. David mill Valley, California says Ben, Uh, where was your wife a chubby chaser? Didn't did you meet after you

lost the tonnage? Um? I was losing the weight still, I was not um the big fatty that I had been, but I wasn't completely the rail that I briefly became. So I was I was in the middle. I was in the middle. But I don't think she's a chubby chase Kevin in You'd have to ask her that. Kevin and Rumford Maine writes, In says, would you rather be facing the cheating as strows and wipe them out? Or who cares? Just Winnie? I don't really care, Kevin, I don't care. No one's gonna remember who they beat in

the World Series. Just canna remember they won the World Series. That's it. You were your years from now, you're now they remember they won the World Series in two thousand. It's like who they played is really irrelevant. It doesn't matter. Jay Dot in Utah says, do you ever wonder what

your callers ever look like? I'd imagine because of social media, it's a whole lot easier to find out somewhat, Jay Dot, although a lot of people hide with as sports Talk Barrier would say, fake afy's the avatars they use the different things. So I've been pretty lucky in that or unlucky that I've the people. I'm curious what they look like. The most I was able to see the one I didn't. There's a couple that I have, and obviously I have no idea what the late great Jimmy Ray from Tampa

Bay look like. Troy the gambling Man in Nashville Boardwalk, Bob Um his his famous Shenanigans calling the show in the early days, MotorCity Mike. But like like Pete and Pittsburgh, I met him. There's a photo of me with Pete and the bread Man at Permoni Brothers in Pittsburgh. But then when we took the photo, Pete put a paper bag on his head. But I saw him before that. Uh, and then you you go down the list man you had the I don't know what real talk looks like.

That's one I'm wondering. I'm curious, like what real tyche people have had different theories on real Talk, What exactly who looks like? If this is all an act, if he's actually like a totally different than his portrayal, he's playing a character. I don't know, But I knew what Genie look like. I saw photos of Genie. I've seen photos of most of the regular people. You know that marked the full name guy because he puts his photo up from like the nineteen seventies. I've seen that Lance

the bus driver. I'm trying to think. Yeah, So to answer your question, Ja Dot, I've seen most of the people that I was most curious about. Kyle from San Antonio says, is this the year that Clayton Kershaw finally overcomes his need for the Heimlich maneuver in the playoffs? He did look great in Game one, But yeah, Kyle, I'm not there yet. And there's two ways to look at this. This is setting up for a Disney Ask Clayton Kershaw World Series where the Dodgers come back and

he pitches Game five, they win the whole thing. It's also setting up for Clayton Kershaw goes out and pukes all over the mountain Game five and f's the thing up, So we'll find him. Pierre, better known by his gangster name Alf the Alien Opiner from spring Field. Right now, Pierre, which Springfield are you in? There's like seven thousand different Springfields anyway, Pierre says, Ben, have you given any thought to regifting that Tomahawks steak to that vagrant in Miami?

I'm sure Gagon would be more than happy to know that you were helping out the downtrodden. Would you be okay with that? Guestcown if I overnight did the Tomahawks steak to tweed Man, Hippy in Miami could be cool with that? You could to Marlin's man, that's fine. Oh, because he's got money. Well, I see what did? Do you know what I should tell us? Because this is for the p once. The Sunday podcast is for like the top one percent of the p ones, it really is.

So weed Man called the show begging for money yet again this week. Right, He was like, oh, I need help. I have no food, you know, the whole thing. So I felt bad. He's begging me send me money. I'm not gonna send you money. So I gave him a buzz after the call on the air, like I called him up off the hear and I was like, hey, hey, weed Me, let me help you out sending me money. You know, he starts screaming at me. I said, what

about what about Lisa? She would send him money? No, Lisa's not workers, she's a trainer, and there's no there's no gyms are open, so there's no money for from Lisa. So I'm like Okay, let me. I'm gonna do you solid. Okay, give me your zip coe. So weed Man gives me a zip coe, and then he starts complaining about the neighborhood he lives in, which is like the you know, the worst part of Miami, and there's people getting shot all the time. And he's like complaining, old thing. So

my all right, let me type the zip code. And so I typed the zip code in and then I find all these like food pantries, food pantries you know, for people are down to the lock to people that are you know, homeless or whatever. So I'm like, oh, I listen, there are literally like eighty of these places around that part of Miami. So I'm reading off the addresses. That's too far. I can't make it there. Oh. I tried the Salvation Army. You gotta be in some program.

I don't want to be in a program. They're not I know, you know, every single one. I didn't read all eight of them because I hung up on him, but he kept saying, no, too far, not gonna make it. No, I don't want to go there. Tried them. You. I'm like, oh my god, here I am thinking. I'm gonna help the guy out and he's a total dick and just slaps me around. Say, there you go. No good deed goes unpunished. No good deed goes unpunished. Jason and Rocky mount for Jens says, Hey, guys, I know you both

like documentaries. I assume you like based on true story movies too. Have you watched The Founder on Netflix? If so, what did you think. Yes, In fact, I actually saw The Founder. I'm one of the few people that saw it in the movie theater. Have you seen The Founder? It's the one that Tom Hanks plays the McDonald's, the croc guy Ray Croc. No, I have not. It is a good um. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. The story of mcdo donald's, uh, And I like that

those kind of movies. I did enjoy it. The McDonald's brothers and how they sold out and they they sold themselves short and you know McDonald's becoming this major conglomerate and some of the things that they came up with that are still used today in the food industry. Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty good. Yeah. I saw parts of it when Michael Keaton, I think, was talking about that. Was it Michael Keaton. What did I say? Did I say Tom Hanks? You did? I don't know that's that's

a bad job by me. But I think Tom Hanks and Michael Keaton are the same, aren't they? No, one of them is Bruce, Wayne and Batman. The other one's not. Both white guys. They know what the same? Jesus what nothing? Nothing? Okay? Triggering you triggered? You need a safe space. You need ill blast of milk and a blankie. I need to go up to cal Berkeley and hang out. Valls fan Jimmy Wrightson, he said, is some Fayetteville, Tennessee sus Ben. Have you ever put up a fair poll on the

Overnight Show? Yes, yes, everyone I do. Is a fair and balanced poll. I don't know what you're talking about. Richard in Flooresville, Texas, says Benning Gascon. Favorite gaming movie of all time mine is Let It or Ride with Richard Drivers. I think my favorite gambling movie it's gotta be Rounders. I love Rounders, Rounders with Matt Damon Um. Now, there's a lot of gambling movies that are in the fringes that are about gambling, but not specifically about gambling,

like Oceans eleven. It's like a bank heist movie, but it's about I liked Oceans eleven. I thought that was pretty cool. Does the hangover count because gambling? No, it's a that doesn't coup with their in Vegas. Though that doesn't count their in Vegas. There the bachelor party, the whole thing, you know, No anything else there's that Oceans what about? Yeah? I think Oceans is a good movie.

To twenty one is based off that that book that was written bringing down the House, when those m I T kids went to Vegas and they started counting cards and going like almost every other week to Sin City and basically fucking crushing Vegas. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That is good. I should watch that what's the name that I had to watch it? And I've watched it? Watched that? Is that on Netflix or something? Probably? Yeah, that's a good movie to watch this weekend. Save my although I

just got my wife on Amazon Prime Days. She bought a subscription to PBS. Yeah, that's like the gold mine for documentary. I'm finally watching the country music documentary that I wanted to watch a couple of years ago or last year, I guess it came out that's really good. You gotta be careful though, because PBS they take some of their content off, like after a short period of time, so even the ones that you pay for with the subscription they'll remove. Well, so far, so good. I've been

watching it. I mean it's it's like sixteen hours and so it's gonna take me probably the rest of the year to get through it. But it's good because I you know, I'm I don't mind. You know, I'm not a huge country music fan. I don't like the new

I like the older country music. But uh, it's it's great because the early days of country music, you know, Hillbillies and the odeling and all that, but radio radio it's tied into the radio business, and these country music stars were hired by radio stations and they would perform at night, you know, like once a week on Saturday night, they'd have a performance in and uh, it was very interesting learning about the early days of both radio and

how country music were tied together, intertwined, and they created these big stars. And it was so funny because they they did a thing on Gene Autry and I when I was younger, Gene Autrey owned the Angels, and I was when I was an autograph hound. I used to get Autrey's autograph, but I had no I really have the context of how famous Gean Autrey had been at one point in America, the singing cowboy, and how big

a deal he was at one point. You know, he Roy Rogers and Autrey and those those country guys in the beginning. I didn't realize it when I was you know, when and when he was alive. He died in the nineties, but pretty pretty crazy. Yeah, let's see here, Chris in the Cocota Iowa writes and Chris sent us something we talked about on the Benny Versus the Penny. We won't get to that here. Chris says a lot of conspiracy talk on the show lately. So what's your take on

JFK Grassy Knoll shooter conspiracy? And if you have time, that nine eleven was done by our own government. Yeah, I'm not not buying the nine eleven government. Uh sorry, Although was it Building seven? That's a little fishy to me. Well, and then it was a building seven? Is that the one where he was down the street from the World Trade Center and that collapsed hours later? Is that what it was? I think it was called Building seven if I remember correctly. That one's a little fishy to me.

I don't know what happened with that. But the the JFK thing when I when I first got into radio business, and that would be the topic of conversation still around the dinner table. Was you know JFK you know? And what happened? You know? I I don't know. I've heard different theories on that. I have a feeling that it's a little more complicated than the story that we've been fed. But you know, if I've heard that the two shooter thing, there's more people that were involved. It was a c

I a hit job. I don't. I don't know about all that, but yeah, something more that's not I don't think we're getting the holes and we're getting a version of the truth, but not the whole truth. I hear that stuff on the Pentagon too, on nine eleven. Oh what about this video of the plane hitting the Pentagon? How they're not I mean, did they did they docked the video? I don't know. Travis in Roseberg, Oregon, right

since says Ben Uh, we're about the same age. Sometimes I hear a bit of Tom likeas in your delivery? Was he one of your influences. I did listen to Like. I thought like this was a very good talk show host. I did listen to him, um from time to time. I was not like an everyday listener, but I would listen to him if I was in the car and he was on. And he says, you should revive Flash Friday. He says, the malle malicious the perfect demographic for that problems.

We're on at night and most of the people that listen are either at work. Well, we have truck drivers, but just you know, I don't think it really work of truck drivers flash each other on Flash Friday. I don't think that would. But but Lias was great. And I have buddy of mine that was an engineer for Likeas and told me that like has hated sports radio because he lost a job because the station he worked at changed formats to sports and they whacked him. And

from that point forward, that's what I was told. I don't know if that's true or not, but the guy told me that's why. One of the reasons like his hated sports radio because he lost a gig to it. But yeah, he was he was pretty good. I mean compelling, entertaining, all the things the ingredients are supposed to be as a talk show. So sure, but I I don't know influence yet. Jim Healy, I think you know hack saw Jim Healy a little bit alike? Is uh Paul Harvey,

Good Day? Some of the people in radio that Art Bell, some of the people that influenced me, Howard Stern, people like that. Did you ever listen to like this? I only listened to a handful of times. I was mustly like listen to roam me when I was when I was growing up, explains a lot. Kevin from Rockford, Illinois, says Mr Miller. Other, First of all, think you're calling Mr Miller Kevin very classy, very old, he says. Other than you, are there really good people west of the

four or five? He says. I was in California on vacation last year. I drove from San Francisco to Palm Springs. Everyone I met on our road trip was a this suck up, David gascon wannabe. No matter west or east of the four oh five, you're still in California. As

pretty as the state is. The people suck. That's what happens in Kevin San Francisco, and he probably never Well, if you're going from Palm Springs or excuse me, San francs Francisco to Palm Springs, you never came close to the four oh five Freeway, like, not once, So they don't try to front and be fucking friends with that. Yeah,

all right, that is true. The four oh five Freeway, Kevin, only goes from the San Fernando Valley and it ends in just past Irvine in you know, it's past Irvine at the merge with the five and the four oh five. It merges back with the five Freeway. And I used to live right near the southern part of the four oh five, but I lived on the I grew up, thank god, I grew up near the five Freeway in Irvine.

Where it goes there's a four or five part where the gascon a holes live, and then on the other part is the the five where the commoners commoners live. But yeah, the four or five in that part is it's not a very long stretch, but all the a holes live west of the four or five in California. But yeah, there's a lot of dicks, and Kelly, I agree with you, Kevin. Yeah, I agree with you. It's not a lot of a holes. It's it's because you

go someone. You go to other parts of the country, people are like, nice, how you doing, what's going on? They smile in a little thing here, It's become a lot like New York, you know, the cliche of New York where everyone's you know, I'm worried about themselves and their a holes. And yeah, it's tough. Even even like even hot women get like they just fucking scalle at you. If you hot, women always scal at you. No, that's not true. That's that's that was true when you're fat

and I was fat, they scal at you. Well, because you're sweating, so you're below me. Don't look at me. You're not even word of me about Look. Get out of here, you peasant, you fat peasant women. That's Heath love, fat man. I should have been in the South. Were we talking about? You're married, I've said when I was younger, though, I could have taken a radio job in Atlanta or

something that would been great. Yeah, all right. Charlie in Memphis, Tennessee, says a member of in CEO of the Gascon Group Ltd. When will you apologize to David for ruining an expensive steak. I have not ruined an expensive stake. If you have, you've you've ruined it. Is this one of your burner accounts? Charlie and Memphis Gascons? Are you pretending to be him? No, that'd be a great day to go visit though, Memphis, Tennessee. Hello, Memphis Barbecue. Go to Beal Street. Hang on, Memphis. Have

you heard about their barbecue compared to Texas and Kansas City? Well, everyone's got their favorite. I'm I'm a fan of Kansas City Barbecue. That's my favorite. And I love the z Man sandwich at Casey Joe's formerly Oklahoma Joe's. It's the greatest sandwich I've ever had. But I've not like I've not had a lot of I've heard bad things about Carolina barbecue. Have you ever had Carolina? But I've heard it's not good. I've heard it's not good. I've heard

it's the worst of the big barbecue. Um. But I'd love to go on a barbecue tour. It would be a lot of fun. I had the time to go around to Texas and Memphis and Kansas City, and there's Tennessee barbecue. No, it would be fun, especially because you can go ribs, briskets like anything. Obviously, you don't have to go with one one chicken. Oh yeah, chicken barbet chicken. Yeah exactly. Let's see Dave in Mesa, Arizona. I got family in that area, he says, I do like your show.

Let's just southeast or yeah, just southeast of Scottsdale. They're gonna go to Arizona hang out with thief. I don't think anyone wants to hang out with me now because of the Corona, but I need to see them. Uh Day in Mace, Arizona says I do like your show, listening for years and years. Thank you, Dave. I think you should forgive the Houston Astros or face the fact that the Rams cheated by a horrible no call to get into the big game. Uh and and worst yet

to nine New Orleans their rifle spot. So homer of you to do not to admit it again, Dave, you're just You're just a troll. I'm glad that you like the show, but you're a troll. You clearly have forgotten that bad calls happen in games. They go against you. Sometimes they go for you. Sometimes those things even out, and they did even out for the New Orleans Saints. They had the ball first in overtime. They had the Hall of Fame quarterback. All you have to do is

go down, drive the ball down, get a touchdown. You win the game. Drive do down, game the ball down, get a field goal, get a stop, you win the game. Remember what happened. I remember what happened in overtime. Saints got possession of the ball first. They drove down and around midfiel Yield, Drew Brees through an interception, Rams picked it off. They don't even think they got a first down and they kicked Greg's our line kicked along field goal, Game,

set and match. That's on Drew Brees. That's on the Saints. Instead they're blaming the referees. It's embarrassing and how pathetic you think about. Drew Brees is a Hall of Famer and all time great. He has lost home playoff games to Kirk Cousins and Jared Golf. Think about that for a second. Let that marinate in your head. Carlos in Houston, right Sin, since I heard the podcast when you cursed on the air, and now when the Dodgers choke again.

Will you be cursing again? That was awesome? Well Carlos, bang bang, How about your a holes? How about their a holes there? Carlos, How are they doing? How are they doing in the world serious guest, and how are the Astros doing? You have an update? Two B D T B D. Yeah, that's good. All right, we'll do a couple more here. Thinkfull They did not get in Fun nine and thirty one, all of a sudden they get their landing in the World Series. It's a joke.

It's pathetic, and I hope someday to tell the story I have to tell about the Astros. I believe these statue of limitations is not run out yet, guests, guy, But at some point I will be able to tell the story. Yeah, how long are you gonna give that thing to breathe? Oh? I have to give it a while. I have to give it a while. I might need a new person in power before I'm able to do it.

Not at our place, but they're they're anyway, uh Russ in Evansville, Indiana, right, Since it is more delusional fan base on being relevant in college sports, Tennessee or Nebraska in football or Indiana in basketball. All right, So this one to me is easy and just based on my interactions with callers on the radio show. Now that we talk much college athletic competition, we don't. We're mostly a

pro sports show. We don't do a lot of college. Um, if there's a big college football championship game, we'll talk about that. It's a big scandal involving Nick Saban, we'll talk about that, But January we avoid that. So anyway, Uh, the answers Tennessee, the Tennessee volunteer fan, God love him. They are convinced they are on the come every year that this is gonna be their year and whoever they hire their new coach is going to be great. They

have not been relevant since what the late nineties? Yeah, T Martin and company purely Spryce was there as well. How great is it that Peyton Manning was there and the greatest thing in the world and they didn't win ship with Peyton Manning and T Martin comes in their system quarterback, they win the national championship. That's great. That's the equivalent of the Washington Nationals having Bryce Harper, getting rid of Bryce Harper and free agency and then winning

the World Series the very next year. It's the same concept. It's the same thing, is what it is? That? Yes you did, that's right now. But tennise events, remember we used to have was the guy's name from Nashville, Danny from funny thing it was. And oh my god, he was so every coach and you know, and I say every coach. They went through a lot of coaches in a short amount of time. But he would buy every rumor. Oh, John Gruden was sputtered at a barbecue restaurant in Knoxville.

He's gonna be the coach of Tennessee, you know. And I was like, okay, total bullshit story, but yeah, he he went with it. But like, and I remember, they hired Jeremy Pruitt, the guy that's currently coaching and he's still a coach right at Tennessee, Jeremy Pruett, And they're, oh my god, this guy is great. He's on the Nick Saban coaching tree. Oh what a great higher one and a minute, this guy is gonna turn this program around. You just wait and see. And they always put the

caveat on there. Give it a couple of years, give it a couple of years and they're they're gonna be great. Oh my god, you know that, that whole thing, and then you're like, okay, let's see. You know Jeremy Putty uh pru it rather, he's been there. This is his third year as the volunteer coach, so that means you've had multiple recruiting lasses, You've got your players. And Tennessee has played twenty nine games with Jeremy Prude as a coach.

They are fifteen and fourteen and fourteen, and they were ranked in the preseason top twenty five. This year they got as high as fourteen. There two and two the volunteers. But that fan base, that is that takes the cake for me. Russ. I know you might want me to say Indiana basketball because you're from Evansville, Indiana, but I'm going with Tennessee Tennessee football by a country mile. Alright, last question, gesc are you ready for the last question?

All right? That says Ben do you listen to the college marching bands in your spare time? He was aword. This is Chris and Edmonton, Alberta. Uh and if you like the bands at least, what are some of your favorite melodies? Holmet Oilers by the way. That's right. Good good knowledge there. Uh you know, I I you know what I like is the drum major. That is great. And I'm not a big band. Yeah, I like music, but I'm not really a music person, which means I

don't really know what I'm listening to. I just like, I like what I like, and I like what I like and that's it. Um. But college bands are just like the Ohio State band dotting the ie. The USC marching band actually pretty pretty impressive. I used to go to the USC games back in the day for Troy. The USC marching band will go to like parties or weddings, like, they go everywhere. It's not just obviously on campus for

USC football. It's pretty impressive when you see the band marching around, you know, when you're outside the stadium and the band's marching through, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty neat. But do I have a favorite melody? And uh, I don't. I don't. I don't have one, Chris, I'm sorry, but

I'm impressed that the formations they make. That's that's there's a lot of choreography that goes in that when they spell out it seems easy, but to actually get three or two hundred people in the band to be in the right spot. It's not that easy. And play the right note too. Yeah, exactly. We can't even walk and chew gum at the same time, right, I mean, come on, please, can I do it? Can I do it? No? No? No, I'm not going to do it? All right? So that that will put the baby to bed? Yes, guest Con,

anything else you want to do? Hear versus the penny. If you have not watched it, watch it. That is right, thanks to our guy.
