Roll Call

But don't worry, because we have decided we made an executive decision here that we are going to enhance our podcast footprint. I think that's the proper language with this bonus edition, a free downloaded to your phone edition or whatever device you use of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon. Four hours not enough. As we are literally in the air everywhere, Unlike the coronavirus were good for you. The vast power of the I Heart podcasting,

the global reach of the podcast network. They have an I heeart and you can get this wherever we get podcasts, whatever it might be. It's not on one platform, go to the other platform. It might be there. Uh So here we are on a day that we're not normally here. Now why is that. I'll give you the brief menu that we have. It's a truncated edition of the Fifth Hour.

We've got Global podcast Domination, letting your guard down, Survey says, and an extra hot spicy edition of Don't stick to Sports Stories of the Week, the show better than Not Suck Gust go on please well, seventeen ways that you can locate us on the global reach of podcasting and uh and yeah, I'm excited about this because we have spoken to the higher ups from near and afar um and we got the message loud and clear, do fucking more.

And so here we are. Do more. Well, yeah, I mean listen, let's just get right to do it, because that is the global podcast domination. So we had talked to guess Gon track down some corporate muckety MUCKs at I Heart, some big wigs that are in charge of the podcast network. And when they started, first of all, when he called them up, they started laughing, who the funk are you? Um? And then eventually they were very kind and very nice and they gave us some time.

But we had a meeting. Of course, don't worry, we didn't meet in person. It was a conference call, which I love. I love conference calls because you can just put it on mute not even you know, you can like fart and do all that and you're on a conference call so don't really matter. Um. But anyway, so these guys are now aware of the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Gagon, and they they were trying to figure out how to make this financially successful because it's not.

I'm not getting paid for it, neither's guests gone. We're doing this pro bono even though there are listeners and people are listening. So there's a couple of tricks that we can use to increase and bump up the listenership. So we're essentially gonna do some spring cleaning here, Gascon is what we're gonna do. Do you do that on your social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, like where you just scrub the people you don't talk to or you really have no connection to. They just

know I'm terrible. I'm really bad at that. Like I'm I don't go on Facebook all that much, but when I go on there, I have a personal page and then we have the work page and my personal page I'll get bombarded with messages from people who I don't even know who they are. And I'm sure I knew them at one point in my life. I had a relationship with them. But I've met a lot of people and I don't know who they are and they're talking to me like we're best friends, and I'm trying to think, like,

who the fuck is this person? You know, I have no idea who this person is, and so it's a big it's a big pain in the ass, and so I try to avoid that. But I'll pop on there for a few minutes, like if I do it during the day, that's when everyone's you know, and they're like, hey, Mallard, what's going on? Remember me? And I'm like, no, I

don't remember. You have no idea who you are. Um. But but anyway, so the days I want to walk you through this, and the reason I want to walk you through this, guest gun you the listener, is because one thing I have come to both love and despise about the Malley Militia. All Right, these people are so dedicated to what we do here that they get completely flummixed if anything changes can and I get it. I don't like change either it sucks, it blows and all that,

so people get all freaked out. So we are going to change this podcast a little bit. We're gonna provide more volume for the podcast, which means that each individual podcast will be a little shorter, right, a little shorter. I think that's fairness. So we're gonna trim the fat, get get the podcast up to speed, get it in shape.

We're doing this for the better good, for the greater good, because we will be able to provide content seven days a week under this new format that we're considering doing, and I think we're gonna try it out and see how it goes. This week, we will do shows the Radio show five days a week, and then this podcast will have two shows on Friday of the Radio Show podcast and then a version of the Fifth Hour, and then Saturday and Sunday will drop other podcasts that will

be available. What's not to like? More podcasting? Right? Yeah? I think. And with all of this being provided for the listeners out there, we need to make a request to on two different things. One is make sure to rate us. Make sure to provide a review positive, negative, and give some comments to you because a lot of people on the higher ups East Coast, West Coast, whatever it may be, that they look at all those things.

So even when you trash me for no stupid reason, or you throw rose pedals virtually at Ben or what's wrong with that of that, feed him fruit and liqu his toes via Rex Ryan. Please I love that, my harem. Please comment, please rate, subscribe as well too, And like you have mentioned, um, spread the well to the friends and family, because you know, everyone's pretty much in quarantine right now, so what else do you got to do. Yeah,

and I'll be completely transparent. One of the reasons that we're doing this, in addition to the fact that we've been asked to do it by corporate, is the fact that we set a record. I feel terrible about this guest, and we said a record you told me for downloads our last podcast, which was really nothing spectacular. It was very pathetic, actually, I would think, but we had a new record. People are looking for things to listen to to pass the time, and so that's that's another part

of this. Yeah, it was an ode to Benny versus the penny because when you were piping hot the first I think six seven weeks, your largest downloads were actually week two in week three, so uh, as long as long as we can kick those numbers to the curve. But I think the third highest one was the death of Kobe Bryant. But outside of that, last week was great for us, and we certainly appreciate it. And we always interact with with people that's on Twitter, Instagram and

now through your mailbag. Keep them coming, man, because there's always things that are coming through our heads and giving us ideas to pop up for what we're gonna do earlier in the week later in the week, and I think it provides for pretty good content down the road. Yeah. And the cool thing about this is that one of the podcast we'll have a huge one, will dedicate a

lot more time to each thing that we're doing. So like, for example, we do a grab bag, which is just a cheap rip off of Asked Ben from the radio show, and we asked for questions on Facebook. Fact, we'll probably put that up later in the week here and we do it, you know, each Wednesday or Thursday of the week, depending on uh, the schedule. I have to appease my master David guest gone, so it's up. But but all of this is uh calculated in a way to to

make the podcast better. And the cool thing, you know, the mall of Militia is a group, a small group of the population that is able to to do amazing things. And we have to grow the militia, right, we have to grow the militia, the special forces of the show, and we can make enough noise. You and I together, you the listener and us, and we can grow this thing. And I'm not saying we're taking down Joe Rogan, but

we just have to do something. We have to take down some of these other stiffs that suck at this podcast game. And so that that's the end game. That's the goal to eventually get to that point, and we'll even be mixing in some interviews. I made my first interview request for the podcast the other day. Send a message, by the way, guest Gan, as we are recording today's podcast,

have still not heard back. Fifteen hours ago. I sent this particular person a message, very nice message, say hope all as well, excited to invite you on for a special podcast interview. And this person is not gotten back to me. But it's possible this person is just in a drug haze. Somewhere and that's why can you give

us a hint as to who it is? Uh? It is a sports legend from a different era who has become how do you how would you describe him now, like describe a character or like a W W E character, like he has really evolved from one way to the other, hero to heal or heel to hero. Yeah, he's a little bit of both and someone who's I would say, more of like a Howard Stern type of guests than a sports radio guest. But um, so hopefully this person will do it. I don't know. I'm trying to to

branch out. If you would like to hear us chat with anybody, if you want to recommend, send us an email. What's the email address? Guest on again the Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Make sure the is in there, The Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and say hey, hey dummies, I would like to hear so and so do a podcast. Now, since you threw that out there and you've made that request to our our listeners, um, what can we do about getting like the famous Kenny

Albert in here or some of these? So you're just looking for people that will advance your career. That's what you're doing. No, I I put Kenny. We can put Kenny on. I don't. Kenny would probably do it, I don't. I mean, we could get him on there. You know what we should do would be funny is to get Joe Rogan on and just ask him for tips, you know, just pick his brain for tips and say, hey, Joe, we really suck at this. We need to get a bigger audience. What the funk do we do to get

more people listening? See? That would be pretty funny. That would be really good. Best about you know what's been going around the news this week with the Olympics and all and and that seemingly being put on hold for at least a year. You could we could get Dick Pound on right, the Dick Pound podcast. How great would that be? From the OC? That wouldn't that be wonderful? And the US Olympic operation there I believe it is. But bring him on? Why not? We can do that

now now since you brought that up. You can also if you wanted to, you could bring the Chief on if you'd like the Chief. I would love to talk to the Chief. The Chief was a part of the United States Olympic diving team board. So you know, obviously in instances like this for the diving team, the swimming team, and a bunch of the other gymnastic teams wanted to postpone the summer games. He was a part of all that,

so you can definitely pick his brain about that. You can also talk about the stay at home acts by the local mayors and the governors around the country, so crisis mode. He can certainly help you out and kind of walk you through those. Yeah, yeah, I'd love to put the Chief on your Pops on for sure. People would love to hear from that. That would be that would be kind of advancing your career. Now I think so, well, now I see it's you. It's your damn dad. That

doesn't count. Not We can put my dad on and talk about Ham radio and talk about how he's bitching about every coffee shop being closed, in every restaurant being closed, even though he's in the age range where he's supposed to be worried about the coronavirus and I gotta fight with him every day. I would just love to probe his thoughts about just traveling to go buy some cheese for some pizza Yeah, pro Bolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, Parmesan cheese, and he went out to the store to risk his

health for parmesan cheese. I've gotta really love he should do commercials for Parmersan cheese. You gotta really love parmesan cheese to leave your house just for parmesan geese in the middle of a pandemic. To mind all that, it's great and uh so, let's we gotta branch out here. I got some ideas now. Gascon has always pushed back.

I've I would love to do, like a an interview with my mentor, one of my mentors, Lee Hack saw Hamilton's sports radio legend from San Diego, and Hacks I would do it and I could pick his brain and we could have some fun there on early sports radio Titan on the West Coast. And you've always pushed against that. You don't want you don't want him on there. You don't want any of my old radio friends on. You're so jealous and will not allow any of them on

the podcast. I would love to have Leakline on the Prince of Darkness. Yeah, Lee would be great. I don't know if we'd be able to survive because some of your listeners could be triggered by it, and and I don't know how sensitive they are to to Lee's language and vernacular, but I think it'd be a lot of Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app

for those that don't know. Lee briefly worked at Fox Sports Radio, but mostly is known as a news talk guy at that big powerful stations like kf I and k ABC in Los Angeles. And he is a guy that dabbles in conspiracy and the Illuminati and New World Order and everyone's got a hitting agenda, shadow government's, uh satanic conspiracies, all that stuff. Yeah, he cornered me at your Christmas party for an hour and a half. Um. He he kind of nullified any opportunities that I had

was speaking to the lovely females that were there. It was. It was really suffocating ground and pound. It was a Tennessee Titans version of what happened this year at Derrick Henry in the playoffs. It was really suffocating. But you know, he's a good dude. Yeah, Well, My favorite part about that as well. You were being bombarded with incoming projectiles from the Prince of Darkness, Lee Kline, the original Prince of Darkness. All of the rest of us were like,

way to take one for the team. Gas guys, thank you for that, because now he's not talking are ear off and that's wonderful. Well, he's experienced. And as soon as he hit me with the I have the FBI called me twice at the studio, I was hooked, Like it's not every day that you get the FED to call up your local station and say, knocked that ship off. But he he was at it and it was great.

It was a great story. So yeah, I know a couple of people that have had the FBI come wandering around my My caller this this old guy used to have a call the show Pete in Pittsburgh and he was one of Stearns callers. But he did a bit on the radio, not on my show, but another show, and he got to knock The FBI came to the guy's house and traced the phone call and knocked on his door because of a stick that he did on

the radio. It was that hazardous that the FBI, I get nothing else to though, they come knocking on the door, which is great. All right. So anyway, that's what's coming on with the podcast in the future. It'll start changing later this week. This is an emergency special edition of the podcast. Uh, some other things. We have to get to letting your guard down. I like this. So you probably over the last week to ten days have seen the videos that have gone viral of the dolphins and

the swans returning to the deserted Venetian canals. Oh, how amazing the video went viral, So so cute. Speaking of cute, how about the elephants wandering through an empty village somewhere in China and then getting drunk off corn wine and passing out. That also went viral. Um and and did you see these stories? Guess have you seen both these in your timeline? Yeah? Yeah, so, uh spoiler alert. These stories are bogus. People have been hustled, scam bamboozled, hoodwinked,

and led astray by social media. And there's a theory that because so much focus is on the coronavirus and people are more worried about buying toilet paper than anything else, they're freaking out the panics worth the worse than the illness for most people that our defense system for stories like this, it's not. People are like trying to find positive stories, and people love animal stories. People love these kind of stories about animals deemed cute, not not vicious

killer animals, but animals seemed as lovable and cute. And it seems the entire Internet has fallen victim to these pranksters. And so some investigators from the National Geographic determined that they debunked both of these stories. Gascunt they're not true. Now have you seen the stories you know with with fake news or with fake stories about the fake COVID nineteen clearance for people in in Asia where they've been given fake uh medical reports stating that they're they're capable

of flying to other countries because they don't have the coronavirus. No, I haven't seen that one. Oh yeah, that's that's making the rounds. That's not a cute animal story though, guess and stay focused, stay in your lane. As LaVar Ball would say, I apologize, that's a bad job by you, but but just on the animal things. So the National Geographic did an investigation which I don't think was that hard and they determined that. Now I saw the videos

of the dolphins. I fell for the dolphin video the swan thing, but I fell for the dolphin video because it looked like they you know, I've never been to the Venetian Canals. I've been to the Venetian Hotel and casino in Las Vegas, but I've never been to the Venetian Canals in Italy and all that. So, but anyway, they they determined that the Venetian dolphins were actually filmed at a port ports Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. It's

actually hundreds of miles away from the Venetian Canals. Good. Yeah, and I guess they just whatever. They couldn't figure it out. And the the the post also the swans that has also gone viral. Apparently they regularly appear on this small island in the Greater Venice metropolitan area. But it's not the canals, right, um, they appear in differently, appear in different canals, not the Venetian Canals, but the canals of Barano.

Does that do anything for you? It does not bu r A n O. I've never heard of that, but apparently that's something because I have it right here. Uh, and then no one has been able to figure out where the drunken elephant photos came from or where they were photoshoped or not. But if you believe the Chinese media,

they debunked that. They said that viral prost that that while elephants routinely did come through that particular village in the Union Province of China, their presence not out of the norm, and they said they don't have any evidence to prove that that is actually true, that the elephants didn't get drunk and pass out in a tea field. Now, since since we are predominantly sports base with what we do and there's no sports, we don't have to be

sports based, I know. But consider the fact that we're jocks, I guess for for lack of I'm not a jock. I'm a man of the people. Anyways, have you ever gone on air with a fake story like We've had colleagues that have reported breaking news that turned out to be dead wrong. It was pretty embarrassing. Uh, But have you ever gone on air and reported fake news like like this or something of that nature where you're just, um, yeah, I have. It's happened very rarely, I think it maybe

once or twice where I've done something. And then one time I did a story that it's a listener had sent and it was an NFL story. It wasn't fake, it was just twenty years after initially happened, like I didn't, Uh, the date wasn't on the story, and apparently I fell for it and it was actually a twenty year old story and uh, and I reported it as just having happened.

I didn't work with somebody years ago that fell for a fake Twitter, a fake Adam Schefter Twitter account and reported some stuff from a bogus doctor Schefter account as the gospel, which was kind of embarrassing. That's pretty good. I really, have you been guilty of this sin of sins? Guess no? No, I mean I think the closest I came, I mean it wasn't that close, but the closest I came was the death of of Kobe Bryant and the

passengers that were on board. Because there were a lot of outlets here locally in l A that we're talking about Rick Fox being on board, Kobe's kids, all of Kobe's kids being on board, like all this stuff was just being thrown out and and obviously we're in the middle of this fire, so we had no idea like what was fact and what was fiction of so I aired on the side of caution. But there's some people that went on the air with that information, and Matt,

it's just I mean, it's better safe and sorry. So I I couldn't. You know, that's like the one job that I have to do and I can't fuck it up. So it's better to be wrong, or it's better to be right and just second or third or fourth reporter as opposed to be the first one to have egg on your face. Yeah, that reminds me of September eleventh, when we were doing the shows. We're doing updates. I was doing updates on September eleventh, and we were at the Fox lot and so we had the back channel

feed of Fox News. We were getting the raw feed from from the World Trade Center, and there are cameras and whatnot, and uh, there were so many ridiculous things that were being said that day, as you might imagine like they were. They were being well, you know, so and so survived by writing when the World Trade Center collapsed, they were in the elevator and they rode down like they were surfing and this was being reported as a fact because it was bullshit, but it was being reported

as a fact. And so like stuff like that. It seems like always after a big event, there's a lot of fake Even with this coronavirus, there's a lot of fake stuff going around and people are spreading it. Yeah, there was a great thread I saw yesterday from this report. I think she works for mb SEE, but she was talking about the couple. It's infortunate, but the couple that that we're in Arizona and the husband died because he was I guess he had drank some caloroquin and it

wasn't actually caloric quin. There was claricquin was in this fish tank cleaner and he saw the ingredients. But she had this thread that started with, well, this couple was taking the advice and President Trump and they drank caloric quin and now they're dead, and then five tweets down she mentions, oh, by the way, she was they were drinking something from a fish tank cleaner. So yeah, it was like, listen, some of this is called Darwinism. Yeah, I mean, if you are, I know people a lot

of people are freaked out. Unfortunately, A lot of people are easily just freaked out. But you know, come on, it's natural selection, you know what I'm saying. I mean, come on, you see Florida. What are we doing here? You have to adapt to your environment. If you're drinking fish something from a fish tank, you know it's probably not good for you. All right, don't care what President Trump says. And I know they want to blame Trump

for everything. Some you know, some people want to blame him for the you know, the entire it's just ridiculous. But uh, you gotta be able to adapt. And if you're that dumb, Okay, then what are you? What are you doing? How did you make it out of like high school? I don't I don't get it. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am eastern pm Pacific. Right anyway, Um, moving on, So,

so those are some of the fake stories. And follow the Golden rule and money comes to like stuff you hear on the radio or you read on the internet, follow the Golden rule. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably Yeah, that sounds My mom taught me that when I was getting it sounds too good to be true. It's probably is. Um, you know when you hear stories, Oh, this guy's gonna off your job and pay all that money, Like, no, it's bullshit, alright,

survey says. Survey says here it is uh new Emerson College survey shows that Americans are more concerned with blank then their personal health. Uh as far as the because of the coronavirus, They're more concerned with this than their personal health, social media presence, no, believe it or not, finances, right, which I think makes sense, right because people are freaking out. They're losing their jobs and um, this the Wall Street

crash has taken place. But they say that according to Emerson College survey, more Americans are freaking out because they're losing wealth and what they've been working to save up. Then they are concerned about what this virus could potentially do to them, which makes sense because for eighty percent, they say at least eighty percent, maybe more than that, maybe as many as you know, only out of a thousand will not ever have to go to the hospital

because of the coronavirus. Al Right, So that's the first point. Nearly nine percent of Americans say they are increasing hand washing. So what does the other ten percent doing guests hunt. I think they're staying the course. I think those people have good hygiene and they're always they're always one to mind their surroundings and always washing their hands or keeping things clean. Well, you'll be happy to know the the

wife has purchased. Here. I have some pure herbal extract Regional Herbal body moisturizer, which is a hand um moisturizer. Because my I've washed my hands so much that my skin is dried, cracking and bloody. All right, that's good, which is great. So what happened here at the it's gluten free, by the way, that was probably where my wife bought it, because it's gluten free because she's on the gluten free lifestyle. Oh my god, where did she get it from? She get it from like Amazon, Yes,

somewhere in the end. I'm assuming Amazon, but I don't know what. Maybe she has some gazy website. Knowing her, she listens to the weird stuff. But your skin is getting dry? Is it because you're washing or is it because of the weather? Because I bring that up two months ago I had talked about this here at the station at Fox Sports Radio, and every time I washed my hands in the bathroom. I get rashes on my hands and my skin would dry up. And so the business op set of things. I found out that this

was happening to me. I sent an email in and they started bringing some antibacterial and anti viral soaps. So they've changed things around, and now my skin is better. But is that because of you? That's why they changed all that? Yeah? What a ship head? Really? I like the old soap better than the news. So the old soap is still in there, but they just I didn't see the old soap. I only saw the new soap.

I'm talking about. I washed my hands in the kitchen because that's the only place you have hot water, and I didn't see the old soap in there. I only saw the new soap, and I was upset. I was like, I love that, that nice thick soap, but it's not there anymore. Bad. It's bad job by you man to think about it. My skin sucks. Yeah, what about the rest of us? It's all right. You're like the guy with the peanut allergy, so you can't serve peanuts. No, no, no,

she only changed it in the bathroom. So anything that's done in the kitchen. That's that's on her arm. I'm telling you I I wash my hands in that little blue smurf kitchen. Well back when I was allowed to leave my house, I washed it. Lucky for you, you don't have to leave your house now and come in here for another two months. Oh it's wonderful, Yeah it is. I'm saving so much money on gas. I'm not. I don't have to leave my house. This is my dream. I'm a hermit. I never have to go anywhere. Yeah,

but wonderful. I don't have to shave, I don't have to shower. I don't have to have anything. But what do you do with your paper supply? Because I don't print anything up here, because I have everything on my master computer here, so I don't print in I don't I don't print anything. What's what's well? So what's happening with your interaction? Then? Because you can't talk to your producer, you can't talk to your technical director, you can't talk

to your your anchor, so you're you're by yourself. Well again, you have to adapt or die. You have to adapt to die. It was tough. I know it's tough, but I don't think anyone's noticed the difference at all. The show sounds the same. It's amazing. Well, I don't know if it's amazing, but I mean, I guess it sounds the same studying all right. Another surveys is, according to a new LinkedIn survey, the top five soft skills employers are looking for our blank? How many of these soft skills? Gascon?

Can you name the If you're looking for a job, they're looking for this UM soft skills team player? Uh? Yeah, I guess they talked about collaboration. I would seem I think that would qualify as team player. It's a bigger word than team player. So they go with collaboration. UM excellent communicator. Uh, they don't say that person. That's not I don't see that on the list. UM social media savvy. No, well, I doesn't say that college degree. Well, that's that's not

a soft skill. That's like a requirement, a hard requirement. But let me just give it to you. You're boring. UM Number five is emotional intelligence the fund Does that mean emotional intelligence? Does that mean you're not a pussy willow? Is that what that means? You're not a mrs or Mrs Softy? Maybe you carry empathy. Empathy adaptability is number four, which is doctor dyed Darwinism. Right, First, don't drink stuff

out of a fish tank. You know, probably not good enough to hire if you drink stuff out of a fish tank and things gonna save you. I mentioned collaboration. Number two is persuasion, okay, being able to persuade others. And number one is creativity. So you have to have create which, unfortunately for you guys, and you're not creative, you don't persuade anyone, You're not able to adapt, and you lack emotional intelligence. Well, I guess that kind of

covers me across the board. That's right. I appreciate that vot of confidence. All right. Now lost in all of this coronavirus stuff, President Donald Trump is becoming more popular. Did you see this? Half of Americans now give President Trump positive marks for how he has handled the coronavirus outbreak that according to a new survey released earlier this week,

and the president's approval rating has actually gone up. It's only marginally gone up, but it has gone up in the past month as the pandemic news has continued on and on and on. So have you had friends or family that have have come to you and talked to you about attacking him and his response time and the way that he has treated people since the outbreak or if you has that. As you know, guest Gun, I

have a mixed my my parents. My mom was liberal, my dad was conservative, and at the at the family dinner table, they would battle it out about like politics. So I grew up listening to that, and I generally more conservative. My my brother, my younger brother in particular, is a huge limousine liberal, you know, hardcore liberal guy. And uh and so he any anytime you mentioned Trump,

he gets triggered. Yeah. So he's like a radical when it comes to that kind of stuff and like he needs a therapy dog, you know, that kind of stuff. So there's a lot of people like that. I get it. I actually find it comical, But that's just me. It is polarizing the climate that we're in, no pun intended, but it is absolutely polarizing, especially if he gets a leged to a second term, and god forbid, we'll see what kind of what kind of speech he has and

then the reaction from said speech. It doesn't matter what he says. He could say all the right things and and people. The great thing about political media, much like sports media, we parse words right. Once you once you start parsing words, you can turn anything into a negative. Right. It's an amazing gift, right political columnists. We've kind of picked up on that in sports. But political columnists are in their glory parsing whatever the president says into the

minute detail and twisting it up. Right. They love that. It's the world that we live in right now. I mean, it's victim hood. It's grift ing. Uh, this gets clicks, that gets likes, this gets followers. It's also it's also clear it's also group think. Right, there's also group think. You know if you if you go against the popular opinion on a social media platform, well you're a bad person. You know, it's you're a shame on you. You know, you're an enemy of the people. That kind of stuff.

Last survey, in this truncated edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben Mall, this new lean and mean version, if you had to choose one streaming service, what would it be, according to a new survey h for me it would be it would probably be Disney. But I think for the masses, I think they'll go with Netflix. You would pick Disney Plus. Yeah, it's ten years old. It's tied to ESPN, isn't it? No, But that's no, But it's it's a stand alone. Each each platform is its own platform.

A minute, I thought Disney actually took ESPN platforms, so you had both into one. No, I think what they did. I don't know for sure, but I believe what they did is they have Disney Plus and then they bundled it with ESPN Plus. But ESPN Plus is still a stand alone operation. Anyway, all right, we'll getting losing the forest through the trees. So the answer, we have a number. The last on the list is actually Disney Plus. Only thirteen percent of people responded, according to this survey from

PC magazine, said that they would choose Disney Plus. You're in the minority. Hulu was it thirteen point six percent, Amazon Prime four percent, and forty seven percent said Netflix. So well is and that the old marketing thing, right, The most important thing in marketing is to be first. Yeah. Right. It's it's not to have the better product, it's it's to get in people's minds first. Because once people make up their mind that your products great, once they perceive

it to be the top product. Then that's the secret to success, getting into the mind first. Yeah, the Dragon Slayer that is a blockbuster is Netflix, which I gotta imagine their productions are gonna be way way down after this thing is over and done with, especially because the the Hollywood market came to a zero rating last week with all those motion pictures that were supposed to be released, I know, no time to die. The new James Bomb movie has been postponed until later on this year. There's

a ton of I think Fast and Furious. Their new movie was supposed to come out as well. So there's just decimation all around the board. It's wild, it is, It is crazy. Alright, let's get to don't stick to sports stories. We have lots of good stuff. 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. Let's find out all right, how about this, We'll start off a little soft. Uh.

Do you have any listeners or strong followers in Provo, Utah? Yeah, we have some listeners in Utah. We've got that guy that puts the boot on cars around all right. Well, woman in Provo, Utah is actually being investigated for choking her boyfriend, kicking one of her kids, and twisting the arm of another one of her kids because she was so enraged that her kids wouldn't be going to school do the coronavirus outbreak. Ben. She was charged with child abuse, intoxication,

and domestic violence. She was convicted twice within the last ten years of domestic violence. Yeah, this is this is like Ry Poppins is what this is? This is the mother of the Year. She's not that hot. It's not Mary Poppins. Well yeah, whatever is saying. I guess if it wasn't this, she would be triggered by something else. It sounds like she's got some issues there, so um, but it is. It's like that road remember that video.

I think I sent you the video, the road rage video in l A right near the Geico Fox Sports radio studios over North Hollywood. There was this guy, like a couple of weeks ago. They just got furious at the truck and he kept ramming his car into the side of the truck. Was wild. Now, I was ridding some of the comments on that said video, and apparently the reason why he did that was because he got hit first and the truck ran a red light, and so the truck was trying to get away and that's

the reason why he kept ramming him. All right, But even if that's the case, probably not the best way to go, I know, probably not the best way to Did the police say okay, you're good because you got hit first, and it's like, hey, he punched me first, or it's like you get caught stealing cookies when you're a kid. My brother and my sister did it. They did it too. What about them laming on them? Well, this is an all female edition of Don't Stick to

Sports Bench? How about this? In New York A, a female doctor is accused of branding the initials of her multi level marketing company and x I v M the founder. She was branding the founder's name, Keith Rnier, into the Pelvis region of thirteen females who were considered sex slaves. Now it gets darker than this, ben because apparently these women were told to take pictures of the initials at least once a month. It's gonna be once a day for an entire month, and then after that they could

change weekly for an entire month. The founder, Keith Ren, convicted back in June of last year for racketeering and sex trafficking. The doctor hasn't been charged just yet. Yeah. Well, I feel like I've heard this story like like a year ago. Are you sure this is a this is a brand new story here? I guess it's it's from one story to the other. So the doctor has already been convicted. Are the founder has been convicted, but the

doctor is just getting brought up on the accusations. Okay, so they're continuing the story that started last April or April, of which is was the last April. Yeah? Yeah, I mean, listen, you're more of a guy that would be in a cult than I am. I'm not a cult guy. You're a follower. I'm a leader, is what I am. I don't follow, I lead. Well, what happens when people accuse you of working for Fox Sports and that being a

part of a cult I'm not part of. I'm not part of the mainstream makes let me tell you, dummy, how this works. You're not part of the mainstream. Mainstream in radio is six am to six pm. Anything after six pm. They even though radio stations still broadcast twenty four hours a day. They spit on you. You're the ugly, redheaded step child of media. You're you're in the extreme uh far out cuckoo land is what you are when you're on at night, especially overnights. So no, there's it's

two different worlds. Man. You do radio during the day, six am, six pm. You go to the Super Bowl. They treat your first class and all that they take care of, right. They they butter your biscuits, and you work the other ships. Not so much. I know it from first end experience. I don't have the luxury of operating from home and getting uh you know, the rose petals like you do. But I know it all too well. How about this A Florida was back at it again.

Jelly for you a little bit, uh peanut butter with that. Jelly Mom was arrested for allegedly building a bomb instead of a Walmart from all the autumns she picked up in the store. She was caught on tape doing all this. She was accused of constructing a constructing an explosive device by filling a mason jar with kerosene and nails and then soaking a shoelace in the fuel to act as a fuse. And the most magical part about all this ben she was doing this right in front of her

younger son. Uh. Later the woman admitted to being on meth and then she spit on a police officer's face, telling him that she has aids and then she threatened him and by pissing on him. Yeah, well, listen, this is this is great. Now, this is uh, this is also. I feel like i've heard this story also again, are you okay? Guest guys? Everything all right with you? I feel like you're in a time warp or something like? No, why are you taking my content that I send you

and using it for your radio show? No? But I recall reading about this in January and now we're into March. No, not at all. How great is it? In the same podcast where you were we were talking about this very thing popping up? No, no more than fifteen minutes later there we go. All right, so let me do let me better than this. You were out of control, guest guy, You have lost your mind? What is going on with you? Have you old news guess gone? Have you ever been

part of like a photo bomb? Like? Have I've been part of a photo Yeah, I don't know. I've tried to photo bomb people, but I don't nothing successful. No, alright, well I bring that up because of this Chipotle kind of them to do this. They they had a clip a a public viewing of their Zoom broadcast. Have you ever used Zoom before? Do you know what it is? But I'm very cool as you know, guess gon, I'm a man of the people, And no, I've not used Zoom. I've heard of it, but I do not use Zoom.

It's one of these hang out like, is it like tip talk that kind of thing. No, No, it's um it's similar to to FaceTime or it's similar to Skype, except unlike those platforms, you can have as many people into the room as possible, so those are no are limited capacity, like FaceTime is just you and I. Uh, Skype could be a couple of people, but Zoom it's basically a business function, so you could have multiple people on at the same time. I bring that up because

Chipotle had ran a Zoom broadcast. Um, they had a clip it because someone actually came into the Zoom broadcast and started publishing porn on there for everyone to see. Now, no, this this wasn't Jamal Murray. Um, but someone entered the zoom chat and it's not hard to do. But they had a meeting set up with a musician they were

trying to promote him, and and someone just jumped in there. Um. Another drive by incident actually happened a couple of weeks ago, similar to this one, where two female reporters, one from the New York Times and another female and had an event closed because well, they had an event that was focusing on the challenges women tech founders face. When someone dropped by and actually published two girls in one cup in that event. That sounds like an old Tony Bruno

thing from back in the day. That was Tony's material when he worked at Fox Sports rail Away. Yeah, used to do Yeah, yeah, back in there before me. You know, things changed in society. You could do that. Yeah. Absolutely. We didn't have that guy on too. By the way, I love Tony. We'll get to Tony will do it. Tony's allegend. Tony's the the o G. He's the creator of Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, he's He's a mini gun. From what I understand, that guy will fire anybody and anything.

Tony's great man. He will unload on you and very innertain. One of my favorite people in radio, the great Tony Bruno. One of my inspirations to get into radio is Tony Bruno.

He's in Philadelphia, right, he's a Philly guy, and he's doing radio locally in New Jersey, across the river there in New Jersey, and he's got I think he's got a podcast himself, so we could promote that and we can we can book him maybe if that other guy doesn't get back to me, we'll put him on the podcast this week, or if not, we'll do it next week. That's a good idea. That's a good idea. All right, guess gon go go watch your porn, do whatever you're

gonna do today, and I have a wonderful day. Thank you for listening. Remember we're changing things up. We explained everything, we laid it all out for you.
