Lap Dogs

We are here, and we are here because you knuckleheads kept downloading this podcast last week. We threw it out there as a test. We were hoping you wouldn't listen, but the numbers were good, and so we are back yet and and this is a mail bag podcast.

Let's not waste any time. We welcome in right over there west of the four oh five, the narcissist himself, the man that will waste no time talking about how great he is. David Gascon. I'm like Netflix, Ben maller. I am on demand, loud and proud, nothing to be ashamed of football and gambling. That's what we're talking about on Benny Versus the Penny. Yes, and of course NFL Week number two it is here and we got people bitching Amon and of course into your mail bag. So yes, yes,

let's get right to it. So these are actual questions. Most of them came from the Facebook page, which is Ben Mallard Show on Facebook. Now that's a Gascon free zone. That is a Gascon free zone. You don't have to worry about that at all Gascon. But on the Facebook page, benou and like us on there, people going on they're not liking the page. You gotta like the page? Can you? Can you pen Benny Versus? Depending on Facebook then so we can get uh yeah, yeah, I'll pin it on there.

I'll put it on there. Yeah, I'll have to remember, well, I probably should have already done it before this. You know, I probably should have done it before this because this is our Sunday Show guest con. So it's I'm guessing it's already on there. You dummy. That's a bad job

by you. I don't know what's wrong with you. Well, it's just a friend of minor in case because certain times with podcasts that go out at different times, and uh, you know your scheduled TETs don't always Well, we're also the Real Fifth Hour available on the Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. You can send us an email there and send us all kinds of interesting questions and do we have some of those questions. Glen in Chicago, for example, wrote in

and he says, have you were gags ever farted? And it smelled like either teen spirit purple rain or a fresh fruit compost compost. They had a good, good smelling No. But it's the art of crop testing when you're in a bar or club though, No, no, no, that's wrong. Elevator, No, you can't elevator. You can't do it in an elevator

because you're stuck. You're confined there. No no, no, no, no no no. But if you crop testing a bar or a club, then you've got a bunch of attractive people looking at each other and said, who the fund did that? Uh? And the key is to not You gotta stay in character and not make it seem like you're you farted, you know, you can't pull your leg up like a dog or anything like that. You can't. You gotta be very smooth. It would be a little awkward. Yeah, elevator,

just like stretching a little bit. We we worked my handstrings while I just rip ass here. Glenn had a lot of questions this, does Regina have a Facebook or a Twitter account? Regina, Regina in minnesot to spend psychogenia. Thank you, Thank you for listening to the radio show. Guest Guyn you schmuck wow. Regina. She she likes to sit on her you know, dryer and washing machine or whatever. And all right, And Glenn also says he wants us to interview less Grobstein, and I'd love to put less on.

I don't have a I don't have a contact. I met Less years ago at the NBA Finals. But you know who less Robstein is? Yeah, how do you know him? Though? Well, I don't really know. I met him at an NBA Finals game I was at. He's a Chicago legend. I want to talk to him just about his famous Lee Ilia thing that he was the guy that recorded the greatest meltdown in sports history from Lee Elia, the cub manager who said eight five percent of the world's working.

The other fifteen percent come out here. It's a playground for the blank blanks. They don't even work, get a job, you know. He went on that whole ran all right, I'm ran for um Vancouver writes in and uh he has a Mallew Militia Pledge of allegiance, and uh do you want to hear that? Um? I'm scared to ask for it, but since we're reading it, might as well. All Right, this is some I'm ran, very talented man

in Vancouver. Mallew Militia Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the letters missing sign of Fox Sports Radio and the debauchery for which it stands. One militia under God, pretty divided with liberty and justice when the astros fall. That's good, that's solid, that's real, good am. I gonna have to add that to that. I'm gonna have to add that to the everything we do here. You maybe you may have to start that off before every opening monologue.

Do you think so? Do you think that's worth it? That's good man, guys, good man, these guys are talented guestcon So I have the Mallew Militia oath. I have the Mallew Militia motto and now we can add the Mallew Militia Pledge allegiance. Yeah, that's good man. That might you a call to start your show off in Wow. All right, that's a that's a good job by I'm Rand. That is uh. I'm gonna have to use that. And he's not a Homer, He's not a Dodger fans, so

it makes it even better. He's north of the border in Vancouver, so ohka. My home and native home in native Land doesn't matter. I'm American. I can butcher the words. Didn't they change the words anyway and make them soft in the Canadian inst anthem? I thought they did, didn't they? I think they went soft. They're unfortunate. Fortunately. I'm Rand also says I've been listening to Benny Versus the Penny for years now, but still have no idea how it works.

You please explain it to me. Well, yes, I'm Rand. I'll give you the tutorial on Benny Versus the Penny, but it's pretty simple. I handicapped the game. I picked the game and and then we go to the penny, and the penny is flipped. And the way we do this year is head now that gascon. You're the penny, so you you you know how this works? Right? Heads? Is which Homer Road road? Uh? No, home should be home guest gnat by, you know, because you sit on

your ass on your tail to travel somewhere. Right. Yeah, yeah, so that's I've always I've done tales as on the road. Oh I do it the other way around like they My god, I do it like the reverse that explains a lot gascon. Wait what you're you're getting it wrong. I've been getting it wrong this whole time. I'm rand has just exposed you. Jesus, you can't even flip a goddamn penny without sucking it up. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Well, he

should tune in and watch every week on YouTube. Adrian in the Mile High City rights and he says, Ben, as a brigadier general of the Mallam Militia here in Denver, Colorado, I am wondering when you will be flying into town for your man have played a rocky mountain Oysters, there you go. I tell that narcissist west of the four oh five guy to pound, saying well, thank you Adrian,

thank you for your support. I think I wrote back to you, thank you for your support, dog, and I hope you I hope you heard me, Adrian, because on Friday, I was on the afternoon drive show on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two point five on the FM dial and I called in there and they busted my balls about having to eat bolt testicles. So that's true. Yeah, there you go. I like this guy because he hates you.

Fucking boot out of his mouth. Uh let's see. Yeah all right, man, that's when do we want to do here? Any meny mighty mo. I'm sending an email right now, guest, because I guy, I got right back to these people as many as I can. I get a lot of email, I can't right back to there. I have to respond right now in real time. Penny, you don't how to live respond to everyone making a comment. This is don't play the fourth wall, my man, my man. Let the people into your world, man, let them into your world,

all right. Johnny from Florida says, what it sounds like it came from you? Is this your burner account on Facebook? Johnny from Florida says, why does the mallem militsia have so many drunks and alcoholics in it? How can you possibly be proud of these underbellies of society. First of all, Johnny, you live in Florida, so I wouldn't talk about that. Uh. And aren't drunks and alcoholics the same thing? Isn't that a synonym? Like drunk, drunk and alcoholic? Like they're synonyms

for each other. Right, So you use the same word twice. Bad job by you. Some people can be drunk and not an alcoholic. No, no, the way he said it, drunks, if you're you're drunk, you're an alcohol same damn thing. And unlike you, Johnny, I again improving that I don't judge people. And it's it's kind of like the mallard. I just athletes and people in sports, but it's it's the mallet militia matta. Right. We believe on this show that every man, woman, and child is welcome to take

the malle militia oath that we have to join. I don't care if you're liberal or conservative, you're gay or straight, if you're an alcoholic, a drug addict, you're a criminal. You're a police officer. Any race, color, creed, or religion, but all you have to do is you have to be friendly to those of us on the show. You have to have thick skin, you you have to learn how to take yourself lightly, and most importantly of all, you have to be willing to bust balls with all

the other people on the Mallew militia. That's it. And so what am I supposed to not welcome in beer drinking Brian and a half pint and all these these characters that are part of the show. Screw you, Johnny a fan of Johnny. It's got a great point. It's probably because you are Johnny. Five stars for Johnny. Screw you, Johnny, Travis and Roseberg, right Sin Roseberg Organ, I believe he

says question for Gascon. With the recent flip air up of the Curse of the Bembino, do you or any other Fox members Fox Sports Radio members worry about your personal safety? Yeah, I worry about it, especially because of what's happened over the last year. I've had multiple windows blasted out, I've gotten into a car accident. I've had a severe ear infection. UM, I've had some damage done to me. I've blown out a hamstring, I've blown out a quad I've had some bad things happened to me

since I joined this fucking operation with Ben Mallow. It's like this dark cloud that was over him is now transferred over to me. I'm just waiting for a piano to fall on my head. Wow, this is a real SOB story. Lets you feel bad for me, like I'm an up and comer, you know, West of the four oh five, full head of hair, big strong shoulders, good looking, great personality. Don't be don't be eating your grinder profile on the podcast, and again kiscounts bat jump by you.

Let's save that for that website. That's it. Let me play the world's smallest violin for you. And while I'm doing that to help you out two for one, I'm gonna shed crocodile tears. That's what I'm gonna do, crocodile tears for you. You You have to at least feel bad for me the fact that I have to drive to work every day. You get to go to a radio station. My dream was to go to radio radio station. It was my dream when I was a kid growing up. I wanted to be the guy on the radio. You

get to do that. You're living out childhood dreams. I don't know if I had childhood dreams of working at a radio station, of course, because you grew up west of the four Old. So those of us that are more relatable, like what's it like to be in the Magic radio box? What is that like for the Avery Tower? Alright, Matt? You know my run New York. That's a Tom Looney country on Modern New York. It's upstate New York, escount. You know, there's more to New York than just New

York City. New work like plastid and yeah, I've been to a few. Here we go, Buffalo, Here we go, Rochester, Hello, Rochester. All right, Pennon Guescon. If you had to choose, would it be no candy on Halloween or no turkey on Thanksgiving? Matt writes in to say no turkey on Thanksgiving? I agree, Uh. And the reason I would go no turkey is because my mom May she rest in peace. Her favorite meal

was turkey, which is good for my mom. But I eat so much turkey any big event, any of us in the household had a birthday, I'm gonna make a turkey for you. Thanksgiving obviously turkey, you know New Year's turkey. Uh, anything literally fourth of July. Let's have a turkey. I ate so much goddamn turkey when I was a kid. I don't even I don't eat it Thanksgiving. Now we go to the the in laws, and I don't. I don't usually eat it. I'm like, yeah, I'm good all

the stuffing and the sides and all that. Guy, anyway than turkey, are you well being Jewish? I have always eating the ham a lot guests. Guy clearly yes, no, lamb, guy, I don't like lamb. I I would eat turkey. I don't hate. I guess I don't hate. Hates a strong emotion. It's not my favorite. So but I love candy. Uh love candy. You can't, Yeah, you can't get rid of candy on Halloween. Like I know our governor treed canceling it. But you know, candy is a musk nestly crunch nickers,

M and M's pieces. Yea, and candy has been socially distancing for you. Halloween has been socially distancing because everyone's wearing a man, all right. Kentucky J from Scottsville, Kentucky rights in says Kentucky Tay and I were out in and about and we noticed we have our first Raising Canes here. What what is the go to food? Well, thank you, some big warm something semi fucking warm. The amazing thing, Gascount is if you eat the food right

when it's delivered, it's warm. It's shocking. It's a new concept to you. But if you show up late and ice cold, that's on you. So Kentucky j and Kentucky Tay, let me tell you something. You are very lucky. The property values in your area are gonna go up having a Raising Canes and you can't go wrong. Literally, everything on the menu is a chicken finger. It really just depends on how hungry you are, and that's really what

it depends. Now, my go to item, even the chicken sandwiches they have at Raising Canes are just chicken fingers with bread on top. That's it. But my go to is the Kenny at Combo, which is the biggest meal deal you can get, all right, Kenny at Combo. That's a six piece combo with the bread the Texas toast. Now the veteran move here. A lot of people don't know this. Raising Canes will only toast the bread on one side. You have to say toasted on both sides,

and they'll toast the bed on both sides. Then the other thing is I'm not a cold slaw guy because it's in the vegetable family, So I say no Coaslaw extra fies, and then on top of that, for an extra twenty cents, I get the lemonade. So the candy at Combo six piece, no Coast Law extra fries, Texas toast cooked on both sides, lemonade, light ice, boom, nirvana, heaven, wonderful, great, as good as it gets, reason to be alive. It's a good idea. I think I'll send a couple of

pictures of that to you on Monday through your Thursday shows. Uh. Secondly, Kentucky J Wrights and says you will have a new hat soon. What funk is that? And calm down, gas and Gascon will get his Kentucky Bourbon Day. I think you're coming out ahead. Yeah on that one. We'll we'll have to share that. That would be that would be very thoughtful if you did do that. You now suddenly

you went from how great is that? The our friend Kentucky Tang, Kentucky Ja, the Power couple of Kentucky, the US to right, They're gonna be like, well, so this guy was gonna bash us, guest, and that's how how much of a schmucky is he was about to kill you? But then it proves everyone's got their price. And all you have to do for gag on is Kentucky bourbon. That's all you have to do is Kentucky bourbon. I I aired on the set of Caution. I was I

was deliberate at my approach and and I thought otherwise. So, yeah, we're talking about this last week, right, because didn't you say you have some moonshine that was left over? And I do? I do? Uh our guy from Pennsylvania send me some moonshine and uh it's here having a big jug and uh so we can have bourbon and moonshine. Oh man, total Hillbillies from great from Kentucky. Yeah, that'd be nice. Wow. Alright, Sean from ocean Side sun North County,

I want to talk sports with you. Sean and Oceanside, California, says, what's city or town in the United States have you not visited but wanted to for a long time. Yeah, I've not been to Nashville, and there's a lot of places. I I'm so jealous of my friends that have driven

across the country. I'm jealous of the truck drivers. I'd love to be able to take a month and just do roots sixties six and drive through all these little small towns and I I want to go through the South and see that in the history of the Civil War and some of those museums before they all get torn down and all that stuff. And then you know, and and and I've been to the Northeast a lot.

I've been through the Northeastern states, and I've been to the big cities when I was doing stuff with the Dodges. But I just like to go out and I'd like to go to Minnesota. I've been to the airport. Um I need to go to Cincinnati. Been to the airport there also. But we have a lot of listeners in those cities. I'd love to hang on with you what we did in Seattle and what we've done in a few other places. I I did have a mallar meet

and greet in the early days. We had a mallar meeting great in Syracuse, and we also met listeners in Pittsburgh. And so we've done it in a few sporadic cities. But that'd be a lot of fun to go to like Minnesota and do it in the Twin Cities in Minneapolis and see, we really really should go like the wintertime in like late January February when there's a blizzard

to get the full Minnesota experience. Well, the nice thing is is you've been out of the studio for the last eight months, and we have all these affiliates across the country. Why don't you just pack up and go and then do your show from an affiliate. Yeah, but the whole point of it is to like have get togethers and press the flesh and meet people and hang out. And I don't think we're allowed to do that, at

least not in California. I don't know. Other states have real politicians that are are good and it would probably allow you to do that. Carlos, you can do you can do a virtual meeting. Great, like they play football here in California with the college programs tackling dummies. Yeah, that's that's just as effective. Uh, let's see, you don't mean Mark Carlos Bang Bang Houston, Texas says, how do you memorize all your nicknames and do you have them

written down somewhere. While you're at it, give us all your forty plus nicknames. I guess Gon, the people want the nicknames. You've got to give the people what they want. Guest got no, no, Carlos. I mean, listen. If he's a satisfied listener, he'll tell his friends and then they'll download the podcast. I am known, Guess Gott as the spring Master or Mr. Relation of the bannering broadcasters, but they told the bs re commies you the commentary that

has him. I'm sorry. Kasim Bizarre, Zana the Dark Night a weeknight sports radio, more Do of Mischief, Benny the Brazen, King of Zing, money Ball Mallard, Facetious Fox, Sultan of Insulting, Jumping, Jack of wise Crack, Insight of overnight Medicine, Man Mallard of Negativity, Sage vautrog so Pitiful of Senator Frice and Preposters, Professor of Capaganda, Haszarri and the mad Hatter of sports Chad.

Now that's half my nicknames, Carlos. And since Gascon covered me up with those cheeseball sound effects like from a baseball or a football game during the bubble, I'm gonna give you the other half of my nicknames. I have been called the Baron of Balderdash, Big gall Bladder, Bennice,

the Menace, Captain knee jerk. They've said, hey, you're Captain General of the Generals, Tycoon of tease, Master of Disaster, the Hustler of filibuster, night Light of night Life, Pummeler of producers, Benny bright Side, Manity of insanity, Marconi Mallard, Emissary of Embellishment, Weeknight win Back, Wizard of Wacky, slayer of naysayers, Grant, Goober of gab, Tower of babel On, Honest Adonna's Nocturnal Colonel, the Underdog of monologue, and the

Holy Pope of the Slippery Slope. And that doesn't even include my newest nickname, which is we gave it out. You hear my nickname the other day after the Clippers lost, Massa Kist Mallard. Mass A Kist Mallard is my new nickname. That's the newest one. The shoe fits if the dunce cap fits. Wow? Really yeah? Can you do me like that? But you did yourself like that? Well, the Clippers and the Rams and the Dodgers didn't didn't like that. Well,

you're a Dodger fan, you so you have that. Yeah, but I'm gonna go down as hard as you do when it comes to these two, Like you've had some major crash and burns, like ram scoring three points in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, and then fucking the Clippers three one in a series on the verge of going the Western Conference Finals. They can't pull it off. I'm I'm aware of the things that happened through the whole list here those there's some heartbreaking events

in your life as a sports fan. Yeah, but it's really on them. I didn't play in any of those gives Van played, they would have won. Yeah, I don't know about that. Not that's true. That's absolutely true. Thank you for the question. Carlos. Here, how about this one? I posted this on Facebook? You know who posted a question? No who? Brian Finley, Brian Finley and San Diego. I'd like to talk about the Lakers tonight. May I call in? He didn't really do that? Did he? Hand to God?

He did? No? Hand to God? Brian Finlay? What then are you doing? Brian? Brian, get a life of man. I love you and I like that you listen to the show. You're a p one, Brian. It means a lot you have to work on the show, which is cool, But don't admit it, Brian. You know you gotta at least pretend like you're not listening, you know what I'm saying. And stop with the stalking stuff too. I guess stock him and his little Finley fanatics, which are like people,

he pays. I don't even know if they exist. To be honest with you, uh Ron from Minnesota says, why did you ch inge that legendary in show? Is the vast emanating live? Yeah? Well, Ron, thank you for your question. I try to change it up, you know, the vast Fox Sports Radio network, and I would say we're emanating live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. But I've added in a Philip Buster and I've you know, those kind of those kind of terms to dress it up

a little bit. This is a great thing guys got about radio? What's that? Let me tell you so, I had a guy who posted a message on social media the other day and was was busting my balls, giving me a hard time. I've been listening to your show for many many years, since the same show every single time. So then I got Ron in Minnesota who's upset that it's not the same show every time and wants me to do the same things I was doing before. So

it's a no win situation. You cannot win, right, Instead of emanating live, I go Blue Oviate or Philipbuster or spreading the Gospel or sermonize or something like that. And so I'm getting shipped for that too. But if you want, you know what wrong, I'm gonna try to bring back emanating live. About that? I like radiating live, emanating what about what about pulsating? You know why I say the vast Fox Sports Radio network because we're just all over

the place. Well that's part of it. But it is actually a tribute to a friend of mine who works for the Evil Lakers. Really yeah, Lawrence Tanter, the public address announcer for the Lakers. I've known Lawrence. He's an old radio guy and he was the program director at the Jazz radio station. Lawrence has some of the greatest pipes of anybody, and I had dinner with him many times over the years when I would cover the Lakers, and I just think he's the greatest public address announcer

out there. These days. Um with with winking a nod to our friend Dave Joseph who does the l A Kings, who does a great job. Dave's an old radio guy too, and I've known him for a long time. But but yeah, so Lawrence Tanta, that's my way of giving him a tribute. Like, hey, he listens to the show when he's leaving the even

though I bashed the Lakers long time, he listens. Not now, but when he would get the bubble you not because of the bubble, but at Staples Center on the way home, he'd listen and he'd come he bent, Man, you've got some crazy cats that call your show. I'm like, yeah, Lawrence, I do funny. Those are my people. Those are my people. So Emanating lives a tribute to him. So uh, there's that. Sorry, Rod, and I'll bring that back. John the jailer from Alan Town, pss,

Ben and Gagon. What's the most useless talent you have? Now? Mark in Ottawa asked the same question. Asked the same question, gascan most useless talent that you have? Mine would be being able to move my ears. I can shake my ears right, you know what I mean? Like my wiggle my ears and you do that. Yeah, I can do that, and I can do right, left or both at the same time. Now that is a useless talent. What about doing the vulcan sign? Yeah, oh yeah, I can do that.

That's not that hard. No, yeah, I'm doing it right now. Nobody can see it, but I'm doing right now. People have been saying guest Scott, people were saying that we should record this podcast on video and have people interact with his lives so they can. I think they just want to have their their comments read on the air. They do because you fucking gave I like that. You're so upset. This is gonna let me tell you something, guess and you are so you are so wrong on this.

You are so you are so that you are wrong. Every time we record this podcast, you're always telling me to heard the funk up. And now we're gonna do a live feed and you're gonna elongate it. No, no, no, no, no, no no no. I'm gonna be like the Arizona Cardinals. You know what the Arizona Cardinals do. They have covering machine. No, no, they have social media break you know, they'll have like your practice and all that and then Okay, guys, you got fifteen minutes to update the Graham check out the

booty models and things like that. So we'll have a little little timeouts. All right, let's go to the social media page, you know, just like that. No, Oh my gosh, all right? Uh? Any meeting money mo Chris in the Cocota, I says, if they did a remake of Brewster's millions, what modern ways would you use to spend the money? Also, they should cast you in John Candy's role. Wow, John Canny was great man. Uncle bud Le big l a Kings fan. You used to have season tickets the l

A Kings the Forum back in the day. Yea friend of Wayne Gretzky. Didn't they buy the Toronto Argonauts together? Right with Bruce Mcnalce McNally, Yeah, I went to federal prison. I heard some stories about Bruce McDonald man the Hollywood crowd that he hung with when he was owning the Kings. He went to jail and as someone told me, that jail was like right out of Lobster. Every night slicing garlic, thin, playing music, and they would play softball on the weekend.

And the celebrity crowd that he hung out with love Bruce mcnal so much. They would drive up to Santa Barbara's outside Santa Barbara the prison and watched the softball games, and some of them even played in them. They let them play in the softball. Oh my gosh. These guys in jail for ripping off people, and he's playing softball

with celebrities. It's pretty wild. Man oh Man, All right, Eric in Bingham to New York's his dear Ben, would you rather give an on air massage to the gascon's ego or answer more clever questions like those raising cane served nuggets? Ps? How bad? Does even wish he was a Denver Nugget fan? Well, yeah, he's gonna wish it a lot. After the Nuggets take out the Lakers in the Western Conference Final, it's my new team, the Denver Nuggets. I do appreciate them more in their throwback uniforms. Listen

the Nuggets. You prove it, I said, prove it. They proved it. Good for them, although it was more about the Clippers than it was the Nuggets, but they took advantage of it. Kind of wild will from Roanoke, Virginia rights in and he says, why did Fox Sports fire Tony Bruno? No, excuse me, guest guy, I just sneezed there. But I don't think they fired him. Uh. Years ago he said it was some comments he made and then they hired Coward. He's upset about that. Well, will as

I remember. Maybe I'm wrong on this, but Tony wasn't fine. He had suspended for something he had said on the radio. Actually filled in for him, uh, and that day it said something about how to forget some picture for the giants or something like that. But I I I filled in for him that day, but he wasn't fired for that. I think that was a contract actual. I don't want to speak for Tony, but I think that was a a money situation. But I love Tony Bruno. We've had

him on the podcast twice. I hope Tony comes back. I hasn't done anything yet. I hope at least comes back and does some internet stuff. He's great, He's got a lot of opinions. I like to hear. I like to hear Tony. I listen. I don't listen to all the time, but I listen to from time to time. I think Tony is wonderful. And I listened to him, and I have been friends with him for twenty years, so I hope he he gets back. Uh. Also Will says, can you find Troy the gambling Man from Nashville and

get his picks? All we had to do was bet opposite of him and cash in. Yeah, material, do you know the history of Troy the gambling Who's that? So? Troy the gambling Man drove a sweeper truck around Nashville and he had like the authentic kind of Southern twang to his voice, you know, you'd you'd expect, and so so anyway, he would call up and he was an okay caller, but I thought to dress up the call, we'd do a bit. So we did picking game is with Troy the gambling Man, and he'd give out picks

and he'd lose almost every one of them. Almost every one of them he would lose. It was fascinating. So that's Troy the gambly Man. And we used to also do a bit. I wish we'd get some sweeper truck guys to call him the show more of it. Craziest thing you found while driving a sweeper truck to clean up a parking lot. These guys have found wallets, loads of cash, like all kinds of wild things. Cleaning up

parking lot. It's clean up my things that fall out of cars, things that are part of drug deals, that people forget, things like that, Pierre writes, and he says, possible guests suggestion former w e I nighttime host Mikey Adams. He once locked himself in the studio and he's a former TV guys. Well, yeah, I know Mikey Adams, right, I know I've met Mikey Adams. I have. In fact, me and me and Mike Key did a show together years ago to e I, and he pulled his pants

down and showed me his bare ass. I can get him on, you know. I I I have a way to get Mikey Adams on, So I can get him on. All right, yeah, alright, what else do we have? Falls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says, Ben, is this the year you quit sports? If the Dodgers don't win the World Series of the Rams don't win the Super Bowl and then go work for Fox News? Well, first of all, thank you for that, Jimmy, that you think that I am good enough to be on the number one cable

news network in America, Fox News. But I am not going to Fox News. I'm not. I'm a sports guy. I like doing sports radio. It's fun. Sports have become political, so I've talked about politics because that's what the athletes are into. They make everything political, right, They put get out slogans of voting and all these things on their uniforms and different things, so they they've made it political.

I didn't make it political. They made it political. For years, I never mentioned anything about politics until they made it an issue. We talked about what is going on in the sporting world. But in terms of the Dodgers, however, and if they don't win the World Series, Jimmy, I'm fine, all right, I'm fine. I've come to terms with this. And and while I get optimistic, and I'm sure I will continue to be optimistic when these things pop up.

And the Dodgers have great teams and they rams look like they're gonna do wonderful and and all that, but I believe now in low expectations, I'm gonna try to temper my expectations, alright. Because there are many great quotes over the years that's say something to the effect of if you you set the bar low, right, and you shouldn't set the bar high. And a blessed life is someone who expects nothing, for they shall not never be disappointed. Right,

If you expect nothing, you can never be disappointed. So yeah, I expect nothing, but I'll still picked him to win, and I'll still sound like a donkey. And that's how that goes, all right, A couple more here, let's see here. I can't read that one or the one because it doesn't make any sense. It's like this guy Leon from New York and he's talking about Dak Prescott and Tony Romo, and I don't know, I don't get it. Pierre Springfield. Right soon, he says, have you ever been to the

Basketball Hall of Fame with Grandpa Mallard. I've lived in its shadow for forty nine years and have yet to go. Pierre, this is a good question. Now I've told the story for my My late great grandfather was raised in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame is. I looked up the address. We found the address of where my grandfather lived. It's now an on ramp to the highway. The house they used to be houses, They tore them down to build the highway. And I've never been to

the Pro Basket Hall of Fame. I would like to go. I hope it's good. VE only been to one sports hall of fame, the Hall of Champions I believe it was called in Indianapolis. It was terrible. The n c A A museum. I thought it was horribly done. I've not been to the Hall of Fame. Haven't been at Basketball Hall of Fame, Baseball Hall of Fame. Haven't been that. I drove through upstate New York, but it was so

far off the path Cooperstown. Didn't go. And I have not been to Canton, Ohio for the Pro Football of some something down the line, something down the line to do Mike from Mountain House, California. Where is Mountain House, California. Guess guy, that's a that's a good question. I don't know. He's maybe he just made it up. No, No, not in House, California's possible he made it up San Joaquin County, of course. How many people live in Mountain House, California?

Nine thousands, six d is a small town. Yes, How long do you think it's gonna take for Steve Balmer to give Doc Rivers his walking paper as well. Let me answer that by saying another year. At least it would appear if these reports are accurate. The only rational way to look at this is that Kawhi Leonards says, I want to play for Doc. I don't want to play for anybody else. We'll we'll do this right, We'll

do Doc good. Otherwise it makes no sense. Also, Mike says, have you cook gaggons, tomahawks, steak asking for a friend? Screw you much? See listen to fucking Mike Man. Here's positivity, Mike. It's different, Mike right Since says I really enjoyed listening to your interview with Tony Bruno. He's alleged. Eric says, please don't ever put Chris in Houston back on the year again, did you it? Chris did this week? Now, Chris tried to walk it back and put the toothpaste

back in the tube. But we were talking about the police shooting or the ambush or the two police officers sheriff officers in Compton, and how Lebron James hadn't said anything ab at it. But he's always outspoken about you anti police stuff, and when police are hunted down. He doesn't say anything about it, and Chris tried to defend the person that shot the cops an idiot. Yeah, what a fucking idiot. So well, we don't know. Maybe they

were racially profile, there's something like that. It was really cringe worthy. It was really cringeworthy. Chris says, some cringe to realthy things, but this was like even by him, this was outrageous and he was taking a lot of crap for Try to try to put it back, try to unring the bell. I don't think it worked. Yeah, it's bad job. Occasionally you do have to think before you speak. That's it, guess gun. I'm done with this nonsense.
