Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, just for this podcast specifically. Keep in mind we checked that a couple of times a week, so we don't check that on a, you know, every single day type basis. We are joined yet again from a man who crossed

over from the four oh five David Gascons. What a weekend, amazing, gusting, and I thought you would call himself the three you are man, I'm uh, I'm huffing and puffing got back to work yesterday. I don't know if you're aware, but the state of California decide to allow allow students to go back to school, and high school football, oddly enough

in southern California has taking place. So I had a game yesterday from Long Beach Pauli and Sarah High School of Guardina, and we're there fans at this Yeah, there were ye parents were allowed from Sarah to buy two tickets and so they were there. What if you're from a divorce family, could you get four tickets? I next week you can actually bulldozing their campus at least their fields. So they're playing all their road games, so I think next week they get four. But yeah, it's pretty wild.

You get a handful of games for these kids, and then a lot of these guys that are signed or are getting recruited, I mean, they're right back to the Division one level in a couple of months once they graduated high school. I don't know the the dynamical of all that. I don't like what you would do if you were getting recruited at that level. But some of the coaches on both sides actually held out players from playing because they got bigger aspirations in a few months,

so you don't want to damage the goods. So they're actually holding out high school. That's like a move you make in Oh really they're holding It's like an NBA team not playing Andre Drummond because they're gonna trade him and they don't want to the Cavaliers. I don't want him get hurt. Yeah. Well, I mean I think it's a little bit different though, in the sense that you're protecting the kid's future, right because God forbid, what if he tours a c l warn Achilles or Yeah, I

don't I don't like the helicopter coach. I'm not a fan of it. I understand why they do it, and there's an argument to be made, but you gotta live your life, and you can't, you know, limiting risk and all that, you end up creating fear, and I think it does more damage. You can get injured doing anything, speaking of sitting in your house and a helicopter comes crashing in or whatever. I mean, things happen to be morbid, But I mean, it's your time. It's your time, how

about that? Speaking of statement? Speaking of morbid, I am I'm waiting for the week that I get a set of text messages from you, and the news that you sent me is actually parody, It's not real news. It seems like every week I can't tell the news that you sent me is real or the Babylon be or the Onion like it is fucking lunacy, canceling cartoon characters and Jemima, we're canceling. I mean, Mr potato Head, that's wrong. And you know school, what's that? Gina Krano, Gina Krano. Yes,

they get rid of Gina Corano. And Dr SEUs. I knew I was going to be a racist when I was a kid because I read Dr SEUs. I knew that. And Peppe Lapew. Let me tell you something. I've raped all the women I want to rape, but because of Peppe Lapew, which is none. By the way, can you believe that guests cut on? I mean, think about that, every kid doing I mean Tom and Jerry has got to be next, right, So that's violence, that's violence, and

really it's mocking. You know the relationship between cat and mouse, and you know that's for all. Do you think that they will cancel Jessica Rabbit because she dressed provocatively? And who friend Roger Rabbit? Yeah, well no they were. You know, it's like they did in space jam Right, you're apparently that's a bad thing to be a sexy woman, to have a curvaceous body. He is down, You're supposed to have a very non sexy body. I don't It seems

very bizarre, the whole thing. But hey, you know, but as I've said many times on the Overnight, the only difference, the only difference between now and they've always been people complaining about things, so this is all right, we should cancel this or that. But no one ever listened to them, right, People just dismissed them as losers and uh and wretched human beings. Right, And now for some reason they've been

able to convert big corporations and big businesses. And now there's like this crusade has has picked up so much, um, you know, so many believers in it that now that the people that that I'm convinced these people deep down know how stupid this is, but they still play along. They still play along, and they helped spread spread the doctrine of cancel and all it takes you gotta you know, write what right. A column in the New York On op ed in the New York Times and then boom,

uh no more pepper la pew. We must get rid of that, this, that and the other things so stupid and as I have pointed out also guests gut this that. Uh, if you look at something long enough, you will find something wrong. Right, if you're looking to find something racist or something you know that's outdated in pop culture, if you look at it, examine it, you will find a way that literally everything in society, in American culture is wrong in one way. And you know it's the old

orwell thing which everyone brings up. The book n which I like to remind people, was actually published in nineteen and George or World died in nineteen fifty and uh, you know, seventy plus years ago, and many of his fictional fictional takes have come to reality. It's it's crazy, but they found a way, the people in these little minority groups of clicks have found the way to monetize and victimhood. And it's much like you get the booty models on Instagram or on Facebook or MySpace back in

the day. They've found a way to monetize that kind of a platform, and in turn, they've created this type of echo chamber that gravitates towards other individuals as opposed to just free thinkers that are willing to challenge thoughts, opinions and sometimes information, which is a beautiful thing because we do it in the sports world on an everyday basis.

We could have difference of opinions and whatnot. But it's not like it's like fuck you Ben, fuck you Dave, never talking to you again, You're a racist, You're a busy Oh no, no. But there's some of that. I mean, there's there's now even in the sports world, it's tribalism in anything. You only want to hear, you want the echo chamber that tells you that you're right and there's no other side. And it's over hyper mega sensitivity also,

which is this is a big word. I think it's actually three words, but it's it's all it's all tied together. And uh yeah. And there's there's also the red herring factor, Like a lot of these things are just red herrings and their distractions right to something else. I don't know what else is going. I'm sure there's other things that

we're not paying attention to. Um and and these these are just mislead they're they're misleading things that distract from something else that we probably should be paying attention to, but we're not paying attention to. So it's a very successful diversionary tactic because guys like us just scream and complain about Mr Potato Head or Answer Mim or Uncle Ben or the escobo pie, and there's other trouble brewing on the horizon. What a pain in the acid is here?

What an inconvenience this is? Guess God, I'm well aware of that because you do a great job of misdirecting, typically during the NBA season when the Lakers are in a rough patch and you try to deflect from your putrid l A Clippers and the demise and the falls and demise. I mean, the Clippers have been one of the model franchises in the n B A. I know that's annoying to you. All you need to know about how important the Clippers are is the amount of blowback

I get from the historians about the Clippers relocating. They the Clippers should go to the Clippers should go to loos figures, the Clippers should go to Louisville. Yeah, yeah, it's so funny. You're so jealous of the popularity of the Clippers any and really, what it is about the Clippers that really annoys people is that that's the working class team, the Lakers, of the Hollywood elites. And it must bother a guy like you get. I mean, you're west of the four or five and all that, you're

part of that crowd. But that's what the Lakers symbolize. Lakers symbolize elitism. They symbolize um, the one percenters, the one percenters, and the Clippers are are the antithesis of that. That they represent the working class. Right. They're not about the the privileged status in society that you are. No, no, no, they're they're the people that roll up their sleeve, the

blue collar worker. And it bothers the because a lot of the Laker fans actually are like that, and it must, deep down on some level trouble them greatly that they are supporting the privilege, the heimbrow. They're not like that. They should really become Clipper fans because that's the team, the people's team. We call it the people's team for

a reason. They're not the one percenter's team. That's the Lakers. Yeah, Well, nothing says working class quite like the guy that invented load management in Kawhi Leonard and also the other guy that doesn't show up in the postseason and Paul George. So yeah, that's like the That is your typical blue collar, hard hat worker showing up to work unless he does it well. You support a franchise that took COVID relief

funds that were designed for mom and pop businesses. Yes, you take Genie Bus and the Lakers put a claim in to get money, taking away money from people that needed that money. Uh, that was not design for them. A billion dollar business like the Lakers, that's who you support. You also support Lebron James, who loves to say he has an opinion about everything. I didn't see him have much to say this week about Meyers Leonard of the

Miami He set that one out. I guess he shut up and dribbled at the beginning of that whole Meyers Leonard controversy in Miami. Of course, Lebron has had his own anti Semitic problems. You support Lebron James, who's used anti semitism via music in the past. There So that's what you have as a Laker fan. I don't support what the players do. But I do support Jennie Buzz for what she was doing. It's just gamesmanship, right, I

mean she's taking advantage of the system. I mean we live in a state which gave out millions and millions and millions. You support corporations taking morning that is designed for struggling people's the US government has been doing. You're horrible. You're a wretched human being. You are a wretched ignorant, unaware, un educating with being. I'm very aware of what's going on, snob,

pompous a whole. I got a bachelor's degree from San Diego State of master's from Northeastern University, Kumlanie graduate as well, with a a glorious g p A. I would say that, yeah, and you have no Yeah, you're educated, but your book smart. But I'm street smart, Okay, And there's a difference here, right, there's a difference book smart versus street smart. I attended the School of Hard Knocks and then I also I have a minor from the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and

Bailey clown College. So I combined street smarts with a clown College degree, and I have both. I have both and street smarts beats book smarts in a fist fight every single time, every single time you goober you. I'm a little I'm a little offended by this conversation. I feel like you're attacking me. I don't feel comfortable in my own skin right now. I feel very like a safe space. Like you want to need my bubble, I need my echo chamber. Can I get my echo chaver?

I understand, Well, don't worry. Call blowing to the bugle goal. The local roddy will come down. They will come down from the mountaintops. They are here just getting the fetal position. Start sucking your thumb. Everything will be all right. We have a selfie station over to the right there and uh and I think tomorrow is the day the therapy dogs, the weekly therapy dogs coming there to manage your anxiety.

So everything will be good. Now, do you think it's there's a chance that we can put you on a recall list, much like our district attorney here in Los Angeles and our governor in the state of California? Can we do that for you? Attacking the hard working individuals like myself to support your show. Now, are you against the district attorney that has the same name as you, the same last name signed the recall petition for real, So it's gascon Verse is against gascone, the campaign Gascons

against Gascone. Gavin Newsom has got over two million signatures on his recall petition too, So I'll be fascinated to see what happens in the coming days and weeks with with both guys that are under the well listen, UH, we got a lot of venomous snakes in California politics here, and let's get rid of the venom uh. And I look forward to the day. If you have atomic waste,

you must dispose of that atomic waste. And these people I feel like I need a hazmat suit living in uh in California where I do there, and you know, you know the obviously the problem is this, I mean, the people, the electorate of California keep voting for the same type of people. So it's like, you're gonna get rid of Gavin Newsom. I believe he's done and Gascone is done, but then you're gonna bring in some more

flotsam and jetsam. You know. It's it's like the guys, this old dude I was in line at Walmart return something years ago. I've told the story a few times, but it's old guy who was living in Texas. He was out in California visiting some relatives and it was a long we were online, it was a long line and he starts talking. I don't like to talk to anybody. I like to keep to myself. I'm an introvert. But he wanted to talk to him like a nice guy,

and uh, I was like, all right, whatever. We started talking and he just started ranting and raving about how he's lived in Texas all these years, and all you know, this this influx of Californians and they all they all say the same thing he's tell me. He's like, well, they leave California because they don't like what California is, and they don't like the politics in California, and they

go to Texas and they metiate. They then immediately vote in the same garbage politicians, the same mindset of the politicians, and so they bring the problems they had in California with them to Texas. They bring the sewer of California to Texas. And it's happening. It's it's crazy. Whatever happened? Holding everybody accountable, not just one cical party, but everybody,

including so called experts that work in these different industries. Well, it's entertainment, news, weather, medicine, politics, athletes, celebrities, like whatever happened to that? Never around? Yeah, I mean, well it's it's it's something to the to the effect. There's a famous quote there about whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture, and one side of the political process

in America controls the culture because they control me. I think that's an Alan Ginsburg quote, by the way, I think that's a but it's, uh, it is true. I mean, whoever controls the media and they have control over the culture. So that's that's you can say who's at fault at that? And you know that's really should be the battle. I mean that that's got to be the beginning of the battle if you're talking about you know, red versus blue, Blue controls the media and so that's that's really an

issue with Team read that they let that happen. They did not do enough to control have some say in the images and the things that are being spread in the media. Landscape, as we know because we work in media is much different now. It used to be just a few channels and a few places and a few

big newspapers, and now everyone is their own media empire. Yeah. Well, whatever the cases with media, I I must admit that no matter what happens day and night, I will continue to fall follow the color green that is our stock market, and it is piping hot for some people. Um, I must encourage you to one day get out of your

comfort zone and start tailing if you will. Um, you got a lot of You got a lot of things to make up for, especially since those bad stock picks by a blind Scott and the well, it was a weed. It was a weed stock where I've lost about of what I put into it and it got the original business was bought by somebody else and then uh yeah, I went I lost a bunch of But actually I've

been doing better this this last weekend. Again. My new thing is that I am only now from now on only buying stocks that are paying dividends as a nice way to make a little more a little more income, a little more income there, and you know see how that goes. I'll try that. And because that way I look at it, I'm not as depended obviously making more if the stock price goes up and whatnot. But as long as the divod end is where they say it's gonna be, then that's fine. That's a good spot. I'm

okay with that. Speaking of investments, I need to ask you this personal question. Since you have been a huge jock since the days that you were born watching sports. If you had a prize possession your favorite player, basketball, baseball, football, hockey, whatever it may be, and you had a prize possession and you found out it was worth a significant amount of money in today's market, would you depart with that item and sell it for profit or would you keep

it because of sentimental and nostalgic reasons? Uh? See, there must be something you're getting at here that I don't know. Uh. You know, it really would depend on how I was financially, but I have because of some life events that I've experienced here in recent years, I would be more inclined to get rid of it. Oh. I would be more inclined to get rid of it than I had been in the past, because I have learned from having people very close to me pass away that you don't get

to take anything with you. It's not it's not like we're in in the Middle East back in the day, you know the tombs where they put all your jewels and all your gold, and they built these big, massive, uh structures and what. But no, you're done. You check out with everything you came with, which is nothing. So that's so I'd be more inclined to do it. All right,

what about what what you referring? Well, the reason why I'm asking is because I have an old nineteen eighty four tops rookie card of of John Elway and a colleague of ours, Mike Carmen, who we had on the podcast a few weeks ago, he sent me comps on that same card that was getting auctioned off at certain events and the range was anywhere from seventy two to a hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. And obviously you need to get these cards graded. But you know that's

that's the don't just dismiss getting them graded. That's a very expensive process. Yeah, well, I'm already in the process of doing that. So you have sent the card in, Yeah, I have, all right, then you're on your way. Yeah, but just a piggyback off of that, had a buddy of mine that actually has a handful of old school Kobe Bryant. Like David Robinson, I think he has a

Bird Rookie card as well. Um, So I'm you're curious if if those are your child the hood of heroes or what you adored growing up as as a kid watching sports, like where is that push pull? And you mentioned obviously with your life circumstances, but 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. Well, No, I mean I'm facing a similar conundrum here, quagmire, because I um, with the events that took place this year, I now have everything that I had been kind of like holding away in story when I was a kid has come back to me like a boomerang. And some of it is actually worth a lot. Of it's not worth anything. Some of it is worth a lot, And obviously for sentimentality in nostalgia,

you would like to hold on to that. Um, but I'm leaning towards getting rid of it, and I'm in a pretty good spot. I mean, I have some some stuff I've picked up, autograph stuff, things like that, that all has to get the amount of money that I would have to spend though. That's the thing, that's the only reason I am reluctant to do it, because to to really make any money selling cars, you have to get them grady, and the per card rate is over

the top, right. Oh they got what a what a what a hustle, What a hustle they got in the card business. Uh. And so to go into that tabernacle and to go down there and that trading card sanctuary and get any real money, you gotta put a lot of money up up front, and there's no guarantee you're gonna get get that money back. On the other side.

You probably will, um, but there's no guarantee. Yeah. There's actually a place in Newport Beach which actually does grading and they're fairly well, that's the main that's the main outfit in Orange County, not far from us. Yeah, yeah, so I know they turn around time is not that long right now, just because of the pandemic. But yeah, I think that it's a great time because these things obviously fluctuate, like the stock market or even cryptocurrency these days.

But yeah, I got a ton of stuff. Oddly enough, in the really similar circumstances of where you mentioned with with what you've collected. Most of the stuff that I have, oddly enough, came from a girlfriend that I was dating at the time, Like she bought me a ship ton of sports memorabilia. Nice of her and obviously not knowing now what it could be worth. I'm sure she'd be rather irate finding out if I cash those things in and sold them for Well, why would you say that

on the now? I mean not doubt she's listening, No chance she's listening. It'd be surprised. Man. Everyone was somebody message me that I knew years ago that I heard your podcast. Really female, I've heard yea from a few I want to talk about it. Wellhy not. It was just hey, I heard your or the show or somebody you have. I've I've talked about some of that stuff in the past on the On the pot, it's it's

I guess because I'm not really active on Facebook. I'm on Twitter, but I'm I mean, I'm on Facebook, the show page. I'll do stuff on that, but as far as I have a personal page, and I'm not really on there much at all, So it's kind of I have it. So occasionally I can get updates on relatives or things like that, but I don't really Uh, I'm not an active participant in the social network. I just so, do you say updates on relatives? Do you mean like married, divorced,

or dead? Yes, yeah, one of those, or they had kids, their their kids had kids, or you know it's it's that kind of thing. Yeah, learn all about it. I didn't want to spend a few minutes on the podcast you're talking about to the line to the lane? You know whose line that was? To the line to the lane? Bad job by you. It's one of the legends of our busines. This I've been like over my years in the sports radio which the years keep adding up here he gets longer and longer. But over my time, I've

been lucky enough. I've been able to chat or in some cases have dinner with iconic broadcasters when I was growing up, voices of the game. And I've always made it a priority having access to the press boxes and these different stadiums. I've I've not taken it for granted, and I've been very lucky. I had a decent casual friendship with Vince Scully, for example, Chick Hearne, the voice of the Lakers. Believe it or not, Chick. Uh he's he said, a record for most consecutive games. It was.

It was like Martin Luther, King, David Punting to Orlando Magic. And uh, they gave they had given Chick all these awards. The Lakers is the Forum. They've given him all these awards. And so I I helped Check to a radio a radio interview. Uh. Back in those days, this in the Forum. The cell phones didn't work with the early days of the cell phone. So I went to the Laker office. But I held that you had to walk up a flight of stairs and down a flight. It was a

big pain in the acid. Saw Chicken, his wife Marge, and I I held all this crap, all these gifts that the Lakers had given Chick so he could could walk as he was the old guy and walk up series. Uh. Bob Miller, the voice of the Kings. I think you know Bob a little bit right, a good guy and no longer the voice of the Kings. Jerry Coleman, the late Padre guy. I mean there's a lot I can just drop. I mean, like Pat O'Brien and drop names Ralph Lawler, Bingo, Tommy Hinsen who I know as a

broadcaster but he played for the Celtics. Harry Carey. I was an elevator with Harry carry Harry Callis, who was the Phillies broadcast and known as the voice of NFL films. Harry Callis actually had Harry when I was in college at its Saddleback. I had Harry Callis. Do uh and open this is Harry Callis and you're listening a Ben Mallard. And it was awesome. It was. It was I was like, oh my god, that's crazy. That's radio porn right there. Mat it was. It was do you have it? You

know I have it. It's in it's on a cart tape. No it's not. It's not. Yeah, it's not something. I don't have a cart machine, so I'm sure we have one somewhere at the Premier Networks. I could get it, get it off the cart machine. Ernie Harwell was one when he was the the Tigers guy. Yeah, and he got like go briefly and he actually did some stuff um with the Angels. But he was a very nice guy. Ernie Harwell, very very nice. He was amazed at some

kid from California. Knew who he was. That was cool um and there's a lot but uh Al McCoy who I used to listen to doing the Sons late at night, and Ralph Kiner, who I knew more was a broadcast or hot Rod Honey. But we've lost one of the people that I had had running with over the years. Joe Tate. Do you know Joe Tate was? Who the hell is Joe Tae? Joe Tate had a booming voice. He was the voice of Cleveland Sports. He just died

this weekend at age eighty three. And I didn't grow up in Ohio, obviously, I've been there a few times over the years. But I was very familiar with Joe Tate's work for two reasons, all right. One of them the fact that I had worked in radio and we played highlights and it started out as an update guy, and we had clips of Cavalier games and you always look for the exciting play by play guy because it makes good audio, and Joe Tate was good audio. Joe

Tate was good at it. So we always, even though the calves were not particularly great in those days, we'd always try to find Joe Tate highlight because it was exciting Brian Wheeler, who we've had on the podcast Wheels there was a voice of the Trailblazers for so many years. We always tried to get, you know, highlights of the Blazers because he was so good with boom and all that.

But Joe Tate so talented as a broadcaster, so I was familiar with him, and I'd heard him called plenty of games to that and he had an ability to make the most dull feel bigger than it was and that's a that's an art. That's an art. And he had a lot of catch phrases, Um, it's basketball time and wham with the right hand, Uh three ball, got it uh to the line to the lane, And I remember that was the one that really stuck out. To the line to the lane was Joe Tate's catchphrase that

stood out. And I used to work with Dave Denholme Cleveland Guy, and Dave obviously loved Joe Tate, and for some reason, we did a bit one time and we were just doing Joe Tate impersonations for going back and forth, and we just changed the names up for the players of the day, you know, Kobe to the line to the lane, you know that. Uh. And he had a Craig Elo game winning three point call, which is I would say his most famous call Joe Tate. Uh, it was yes, Virginia, there is of Santa Claus had he

comes from Lubbock, Texas. This guy was the voice of the cast. It was like forty years from the seventies up. And he had to retire because of health reasons about a decade ago. And I didn't even realize he had

called Cleveland Indians games on radio and television. When he passed away, the Indians sent out a sizzle reel of Joe Tate calling all these random moments in Cleveland Indians history, which when the on the Indians played at the old stadium, the Dump and there were you know, no fans there and Lennon Barker throws a no hitter and all that so uh. But it was cool. But over the years, I had a chance to to chat with Mr Tate

several times and I actually had dinner with him. Uh. One night the Calves were in l A. I don't remember who they were playing there were it was the Lakers the Clippers obviously, but in the chick current press room at Staples Center. Back. This is in the early two thousands, and Joe Tate, uh, you know, he told tales of his career here with the Cavaliers and this

was this was you know, Lebron was playing. So it was a couple of years into the Lebron run with the Cavaliers, and Joe Tate amazed, he said at that time.

I don't know if he changed his mind later on, but he said he actually enjoyed the nineteen eighties, late eighties, early nineties Cavalier team more than that Cavalier team, the team that had Mark Price, Brad Doherty, Craig Elo, Larry nance Um that grew and he felt that that team was better than the Calves who at the time, remember this was when Lebron had like Moe Williams was his number two and U. But he was very nice guy, big guy. I was like, you know, big guys that

make it in broadcasting and all that. And I did appreciate the chat, and he I guess Joe had been in Joe Tate had been in poor health for many years. So rest in peace to Joe Tate, the voice of Cleveland sports for all those years and it's it was just like in in the l A where we up people did Vince Scully impersonations, Chickker and that kind of thing. But in in Ohio, Northern Ohio, it was all about doing a Joe Tate impersonation and every kid was like, I'm gonna be Tate. So there you go, my my

memories of Joe Tate. That's good. Yeah, from the Line to the Lane, that's good. You should steal it as an homage, as a tribute to the Line to the Lane. What's your Do you have any catchphrases? Do you have any signature? No? You know, I do? I do like the one I think it was the eighties six, uh, the eighties six World Series when Buckner has that ball go through his legs with the Mets and, um, you know, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then what

you've seen is a million? And then what is these? I think he says like the Mets were not only I forget what he said, but he said something along those lines like if a pictures were some thousands worth a thousand words, what you've seen is a million. Um that one. And then when Eckersley gave the home run of Gibson eight and he's like and look at Eckersley shocked to his toes um. The one that celebrated every

year is when for Nano through his no hitter. I think it was back in eighty one if I recall, and people think that that actually would get canceled today because oh that one was Actually that was in nineteen, that was later. That was, Yeah, it was the one. I think. I think the one you're referring to was the one. It was the same night that Dave Stewart had thrown a no hitter earlier for the A's and Blue Jays. Yes. Yeah, if you have a sombrero, throw

it to the sky. Oh my god, could you imagine the pussy willows that lived today, they were familiar with that. Oh my god, there's you gotta get some catch raises as though, because Ralph Lawler, Now you gotta be careful sometimes. My my guy, Ralph the voice of the Clippers retired now lives in Florida, but he had so many catch phrases. Oh me, oh my bingo. The law the gym fasten your seatbelts. See that one became outdated because it's a law everywhere to have seatbelts on? Was it a lawyer's law?

Lawler's law a law first to wins Lawler's law? Yeah, I don't know. Man, It's which used to be true, but I don't think it's true anymore. Yeah, it's tough. There's so many guys that have had I guess I had to make it first. Right. If I make it, then I can ask some catch phrases where I'm I'm comfortable. No, you should get some now, but it's starting. Why wait until you make it? Start right now? Because Ralph Ralph Lawler ended up with a star on the Hollywood Walk

of Fame. Get that by somebody has to pay for it, but you know, just contact the the Walk of Fame, Dickens, I could. I think I'm eligible for a Hollywood star. I could probably get one, right, yeah, I mean that doesn't somebody have to nominate you? How's that work? You pay like twenty grand or something like that? Right? Yeah, I think that's what it is. Right used to the Marconi? Don't you have to submit and pay for submission to Yeah, somebody was threatening to do that, to submit a nomination

for me to get a Marconi. I don't think they actually did that. They were just busting my balls. But that Hollywood Walk of Fame thing be kind of cool. Oh, but I'm not coming. I'm not paying twenty grade to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'll tell you that right now. I don't have Bruno Mars money or something something like like cooler if you did, so, if you had that kind of money, would you then pay for it? I don't know, uh I ye, I considered if I had, if I had a few money,

I might know. What the hell just for s and giggles, Yeah, it would be fun if you had that. But no Marconi award. Well that what I'm thinking about. Like, you know, the whole cemetery, they have spent some time at cemeteries or something like. Nobody ever goes to cemeteries, just very rarely to visit, you know. But like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, there's millions of people every year go there to walk down. They don't know who these any of

these people are. But the kind of cool thing, you know by the old Hollywood, you know, the old Hollywood stars. It's it's amazing how fleeting fame is. Give me the most famous person in Hollywood nineteen thirties, and very rarely does that translate almost a hundred years later when people do with who the hell you are? Um, but it's uh, yeah,

it's like it's almost more. If you want you're worried about people remembering you, or at least having a chance of remembering you, that would be a better investment than a headstone at a cemetery. Well how about this, why don't you kill two birds? No pun intended with two with one stone. Why don't you get buried in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yes, I'm sure that's allowed. Why not? You can have that? What they did with W. C. Fields. There's another Most people don't even know who that is.

There's a street named after him. Uh and uh near universal students Y W. C. Fields Drive or something like that. That guy was amazing. He was an actor comedian the nineteen forties and he had some of the great I have actually I've repackaged some of his his lines. He had one of his great quotes I love. I actually use this in my Twitter profile years ago. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit? Is that not one of the great that's a W. C.

Fields quote. That's good man, and it really sums up the world totally for me. But many people, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle him with your bullshit. And I still wants to call you out on that. You can just say, Hey, I'm a huge baseball fan. I love pictures, right like you know, you're not a car and artist, You're You're just a guy loves the game. That's a great quote. That is a fantastic Yeah, that's one of the that's my favorite WC. Fields quote. But

he had a lot of them. He had a lot of them. Yeah, he said a dead fish can float down stream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream. That was That was another one, and uh as he was a comedian, so he had a bunch of He also said he was ahead of his time. He said, I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone. That was another famous W. C. Fields quote back in the day. All right, why don't we do a little pop quiz. Look at that guy here. It's a Saturday, lazy lazy Saturday.

Ye are you ready for some podcas? You mentally prepared? I don't know. I don't know if you're ready for I don't know if you can handle I haven't slept all. Right, here we go. A recent survey found forty of people have cut back on eating these in the last six months. What are they eating? Less of tortilla chips? I like how you're so specific tortilla chip, no sweets. I did give up chocolate for lent? You did? I give up? Yeah,

give up red meat and chocolate for lent. So is that for the like the month you until forty days April of four? Mm? Hm hm? And uh? You what if you accidentally, you know, eat something with chocolate, Like whether you're gonna I gonna have I guess, I guess, say a prayer and do a little penance. Okay, what's good?

I mean you've gone obviously days without eatings. Yes, you go to kind of go through that and just cycle through some No, it is actually a bad vice tapes I've heard, you know, some people tell me this is the way to go to give up things and not, you know, not eat all the time because early human beings, as I've said, do not they did not eat every day because they know you didn't hunt and you didn't

catch anything. You didn't have any to eat. A new survey asked kids to name something their parents do in the car that annoys them. This was the most common answer. I want to say for mothers putting on makeup, makeup in the car. Yeah, not singing. I was gonna say singing, Well you didn't, he said. Make Back in the day, when we go on family vacations, it was always Neil Diamond for my mom and Bruce Springsteen for my dad.

And we're tired of that after they used to replay that ship on cassette tapes, all the damn time cassette tapes, The Glory Days of music cassette tapes. Yeah. My I remember as a kid would go on road trips and my dad, in his younger days, had gotten in a pretty bad car accident, and so from that point forward he always drove the speed limit and it used to annoy the hell out of us as kids, because we would we wanted to you know, and you're a kid,

you don't want me in the car anyway. You wanted to get where you could go, and you didn't have the cell phone to distract you, and you know, it was like we had those little games where you had to look at other license plates from other states, you know, and try to play the licensed plate game, which doesn't really work when you're in California because there's very few

cars from other places, you know. They said, if you've lived in on the East coast, do you have an advantage here because there's so many states close together on anyway? Uh So that was that. But we'd complain because my dad would be driving slows like it's straight up. We'd count how many cars passed us. That was our that was our game. We were such a rambunctious children. A new survey says eighty six percent of people younger than twenty five have never used one of these, but their

parents have. What is it? Pay phone? That's a good answer, but no A letter opener? Oh a letter open right? Oh yeah, that's another thing. When I was going through my my dad's place, I found a box filled with letter open Oh, give me one, you want one? I got, I'm the I'm the O G, I'm the boss, I can, I got. I hug you up? Now? Does he have? Is it the long letter openers like the plated ones, or is it the little ones with the razor blades. No, no,

this is a metal. These are the long ones and they some of them were like shaped like swords and things like. It was pretty cool, man. It's old school nice. That's good. Back in the day classical letter opens and I'm rich in letter openers. That's what I'm riching. A recent service is that near the eight percent of adults have not been to this place and more than ten years. What place is it? Church? Uh? No? The library? Yeah,

isn't that. That's one of those things in life where when you look for real estate, one of the things you look for shopping, you look for parks and libraries, right, and yet eighty percent of adults have not been to a library and over ten years. Yet almost every one of them when they looked to buy a home or move to apartment somewhere, I hopefully have schools and shopping and parks and libraries. And you never go all right, anyway, I knew. Survey asked people to name the top sign

they've become an adult. Now, obviously, getting married was the most commons means you're not an adult? Guest guy? What was number two? This is something you actually do a lot of. Number two. It's something that many people would say you're a douche for but you do it quite a bit randomly. You'll you'll text me about this randomly? Uh about random ship? Do do do do? Do? Do do do? Cooking from home, dodd? I don't know do

I don't know all right? Knowing your credit? Oh yes, oh yes, I have a piping hot Pico score of eight oh four. Last I've gotten so many screenshots and guest gets Fico score. I feel like I know it better than my own. I don't. I don't even know my own. Yeah, you're so proud of yourself. Your credit is a reflection of you. So that's what banks look at when they want to lend money. And it would be amazing to live life without having to worry about credit.

Just yeah. Uh. Survey found that six of married women do not trust their husbands to do this. I'm adding music by the help people enjoy. Are you listening? You're listening, enjoying. I'm adding my own music. I want to say, pay the bills, do do do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? All right? Pages down? No work on their car, work on their car. Yeah, I'm not a mechanic. Well, don't worry.

would be great. I had an electric car a few few years ago. It was a lemon, so I got rid of it. I have a hybrid now, which is not powered by electric You don't plug it in. But that's great until once everyone's got electric cars, then the price of electricity will go through the roof. So right, they gotta get their money somehow, and so they'll raise the price of electricity, right, yeah, exactly, alright, eleven of people have fallen asleep in this public place? Where is

it a movie theater? No? Church? Oh that makes sense. I mean usually people go to you know, church or temple in the morning and you're tired, isn't the joke? Right? You go out and you're you're a center on a on a Friday night and a Saturday night, and then you look for salvation on a Sunday morning in church, right, and then how that goes hungover and you go in there and you know, you're like, hey, yeah, and it

will help from the big big fella and uh start snoozing. Yeah. Uh. Of women say they do this daily, but only six percent of men do what is it? Clean their ears, most moisturize their face. I don't.

No, I hope he'd be more than it was a dog. But this is a car. Yeah. I've loved cars. I've liked cars I've had, but I've never when I when the time came to get rid

of the car, I've usually running into the ground. So I'm good with let it go and get something new and or not not something new, because I I believe I used to get new cars, but now I believe in getting a pre owned cars because the moment you take a new car off the lot, it immediately goes down in value. If you get uh pre owned car with limited miles on it, it's you know, that's the way to go. Yeah, little life hack that I wish I had known when I was younger. I would have

saved a lot of money on car payments. I mean, still I gotta paid for the cars are still not cheap when they're pre owned. But you say you save a love, Yeah, makes it worthwhile. The car I have now, I got pre owned, and I don't think I'll ever get a new car again unless I win the lottery or make real radio money. You know, it helps that

Now, this is an air freshener. M hm. You know those airs you get the air freshener. Well, there's two ways. You either get the one that hangs

on the dashboard or the revere mirror. But a lot of people get these air fresheners where you have to re refill the cartridge and then they just never do. Yeah, you know the air freshenershe you have a little cartridge you gotta and you can buy them and whatnot, but people just like I'll forget about it, just leaving in the car. Yeah, I don't really buy those anymore. I used to, but not anymore. Alright, A five thousand dollar bet in Las Vegas save this nationally known company from
