Sound on Tape

are in the air everywhere. The vast power of podcasting now eight days a week, because four hours are not enough on the Overnight and this I assume you figured this out now by downloading the podcast and subscribing and giving his five stars. But this is a spinoff of the Overnight Show. And this is what we call technically guessc on an evergreen podcast, which means that at any particular moment, if something crazy happens, we will go to this archive of evergreen podcast and here it is why

I'm bad, Thank you, ma'am. And since we are in an evergreen mode, I get to not acknowledge the time lauds. But the Ben Mallard family sent a couple of couple of books my wife. I appreciate that sub right in the birthday and style. I gotta point out I like the fact that I immediately right after I say this is an evergreen podcast, you will immediately date the podcast. No, I didn't date the podcast. This is very ambiguous. No, it's not. Anybody listening knows exactly when we did this podcast.

Because of your response, you have just dated the podcast. It literally a minute of me saying it's an evergreen podcast. Do you know what the word evergreen means? Yeah, of course they do. But what date did I give? What time did I give? I gave nothing of the sore it's twenty funny. We're indoors. We're in quarantine. So that's all people can speculate as to what time of the year. It is, somewhere between January and December. I'm gonna push back on that because you let me point something here.

People listen. You don't understand how the Mallem militia operates. They listen to every stupid minute detail that gets said, and they can connect the dots backwards. These people have no lives, you understand. Some of these people have no lives, and they investigate everything. They have said, you have just dated. I would like you to apologize right now, how dare you? Well, there's one thing I've learned, at least that you have taught me, is that you want that you never apologize

and to you never take the knee. So I'm not gonna apologize. I'm not gonna bend the knee. I'm not gonna genuine flagged and I haven't given any dates or time. So let's let's push on, Shelley. Alright, So on this again, Gascon, stay with me evergreen podcast, which is which is another way to say it is and this is timeless. This podcast is timeless and it will stand the many challenges of time, the corrosion of the elements and all of

that stuff. So we will avoid all of that because again, Gascon, it is an evergreen podcast, which is very very important. So this podcast, we're gonna take a look at the type of people that call sports talk radio. Now, I had mentioned this years ago on the show, and I haven't done this in a long time, but there aren't too many of call in radio shows left. A lot of these sports talk show host uh, they don't want anything to do with the callers. The unwashed that call in.

And so we're one of the last of the Mohegans that takes phone calls. A lot of the other shows just don't do it because for whatever reason they is think it's below them to talk to the people that listen to the show. So we still do it, but there are generally only a few types of people that call into sports talk radio shows. And and I'm gonna it's not a list, guess, because the list would be wrong. We don't do list radio here. That's something that you do,

but we don't do that. But there are essentially ten types of people that we've compartmentalized that call into these radio shows. All right, So if we're not gonna do a list, does that mean we're gonna do like a pie chart or bar graph? Like how are you how are you designing this for the masses? Since that's a great question. It's like a ven diagram. I've got vent diagram out of here, so just imagine in your head event diagram. So we're not doing a mount Rushmore radio

or list radio. We're doing even diagram radio. Is what we can't do Mount Rushmore radio because that sooner later will be canceled too. So we can't do that. Yeah, so exactly. So the goal here is to try to figure out which of our regular callers on the overnight show, which of my guys is in this particular department. So, uh, the first caller that we have that And these are all the types of people that call sports talk radio shows.

The the first one I have written down here on my chicken scratch is the guy that's addicted to calling. And I have more of these type of people than than anybody else. Uh. And if you listen to sports radio, you know that this is the type of person that is so obsessed with not the host, not me, and it's not the show. They're just obsessed with calling in to any show. And it doesn't matter whether it's a

sports show, they call in political shows. Um. Typically the problem is they don't normally have any material, so they really shouldn't be calling radio shows. But these are the type of people. And if you listen to other shows, and not just the Ben Mallor Show, but other shows, you'll hear the same people on over and over and over and sometimes now there's two different types of the addicted to calling, and it's the ky that has nothing to say, And then there's the guy that has some agenda,

which is actually a different kind of caller. But they have a certain format they follow and every show they call, they do the same thing, and typically it's never that good. Uh, it's never original. And uh, we have a lot of these guys. Uh, and some of them I like, like Dick and Dayton comes to mind. Dick's been calling radio shows forever. Usually doesn't that much to say. Marcel in

Brooklyn is is another guy. Marcell's addicted to calling radio shows. Well, I think Marcell is a little bit different because you purposely antagonize him and encourage him to call your show because you know what upsets the masses. That's a that's a little bit different. Well, he is a caller of the year. I know you don't respect those kind of you know, kind of awards that that you get in life,

but he is a caller of the year. He's he's reached certainly a more decorated spot the mallamlish than you. But but no, So anyways, just I just wanted that's the first type of person that calls radio goes the person who's addicted the calling. Uh. Then some of the other types of people that call, we've got the person that's always interrupting, um, and you know, this kind of falls into that, Hey, I'm inebriated, I'm having a good time, I'm feeling no pain, I'm I'm doing the Molly wally,

uh and that kind of thing. But usually, and you know, gets gonna like the back and forth, the ebb and flow of a conversation on a radio show, it's uh, you ta, I introduce you as the caller, you talk for a little bit, then I talk, and then you talk, and then I talk, and then usually it's over at that particular point. Be sure to catch live editions on The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I

Heart Radio. Wow, can we call this the Looney color because it seems like, at least back in the day when you worked with that infamous doctor Tom Looney, you guys did have conversations, but it was always like you were talking over him. He was talking over you, and nobody could hear anything coherent from what you guys were saying at any given time. Well, I know you're jealous of looney success in broadcasting, and how popular Looney was

on that Litch show in a w ening show. But but there is a certain kind of verbal rat a tat tat ballet or whatever, that that is supposed to take place. And we get people that call up that have no concept of how this is supposed to work, and it is cringe worthy. It is uncomfortable, it is awkward. And that's only on my end. I can't imagine if you're listening to this crap what that must sound like.

So you know, that's that's another one. You you know, just if you're gonna call in just trying to understand it's conversation. Yeah, there's people he's dropping into the conversation. But ultimately, for this to work, it's a conversation between the host and whoever's calling it. Of course it's like a nice casual dance. But but yeah, four hours that you get a lot of it, and I think oftentimes too much. Yeah, some of the other types of callers we get on the Ben Mallory Show and sports talk

radio in general. The here's one of my favorites, they remember me guy. I get a lot of the remember me guy. And now I am not talking here gascon about the regulars that call the show all the time. Um, and you know the guys that have called me. When one guy called me when he was like, you know fifteen, I have a few of these people like fifteen, all of a sudden there twenty six or nine. They got

a wife, they've got kids, you know that whole thing. Uh, it's it's it's not so much that it's not about the guy who randomly every other year will call you up and then try to reference the previous conversation that you had, right, you know, keep on. Most of these calls are like two and a half minutes, three minutes at the most, and uh, you know, you gotta remember me, and they get they get upset if you don't remember. Now,

I have a pretty good memory for this. I remember a lot of these conversations, but not all of them. And then they want you to remember their their kids name or their dog's name something like that, and like, how does that even work? Now? Now full disclosure on this. Are are you talking about the actual callers that call on the show and say hey, remember me? Are you talking about the callers that's somehow finagle away to find your your own cell phone and then call you up

on your cell phone, remember me. Well that's a whole different animal, the the personal cell phone, which I should change. But everyone I know in the business has that numbers. Oh I have. I feel like I have to keep the number. So I also get those uncomfortable phone calls from Doc Mike every week about drinking my own piss and the and those kind of things, which is which is great. But that but then remember me guy? Uh yeah, I mean that's just you know, chances are I'm not

gonna remember you, and maybe I will remember you. But do we really need to waste time talking about how I remember you? Is that important? Yeah? Some of the other types of calls we have and looking at the not this is not a list. This is a VEN diagram, the ven diagram that we're using here. So you have the I told you so guy Gascon. Now, this is a raging lunatic. This type of guy is a raging lunatic who will call in right after his prediction like I don't know, I let's just use a super Bowl.

I picked the Chiefs and Patrick has to win the Super Bowl. I told you you're that guy, obnoxious asshole. You just want to punch the guy in the face, that guy who probably made the prediction a couple of days before said Super Bowl or a week before or whatever. And then he is cannot wait to call in and pat himself on the back and gloat about how wonderful this person is and what a genius he is and everyone needs to listen to him. Uh. And of course we know that that is a total fraud. Uh and

all that stuff because that same caller. What does that caller never do? Gascon never calls this team loses exactly, he vanishes. He vanishes. He never calls and said, well, I got that one wrong, that job by me. That never happens. The only time that person calls back is when they got it right. Otherwise they don't make a return phone call. So therefore there schmuck to prick and screw them. That reminds me of a couple of guys that used to call your show back in two thousands

seventeen from Houston. I would talk a lot about that, and then all of a sudden, when the Houston Texans would crumble in the postseason or the Eastern Rockets, they could be nowhere to be found. So a little bit different with the Astros cheating their way to the World Series a couple of years ago. Well, and there that is the difference. So like, because I mean, the difference to this is really like I have to show up.

Like when the Clippers go out and have the Tennessee Trots in a playoff game against the Rockets, I gotta come in here and talk. Or when the Rams go out and shift the bed against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, I still got to come in here and do the show. It would be a lot easier if I didn't. Now, sometimes it has worked out to my advantage. Where I had a scheduled day off Ember one year, the Clippers lost in the playoffs in the Lob City Days,

and people thought I was running for the hills. I wasn't. I had a scheduled day off, I had a trip to Vegas and uh, and people thought I was I was like dodging, and I wasn't. It just happened. I didn't know that that series was gonna go all the way. I think they were playing that, like I said, the jazz I think and then they thought I was up some shady stuff. But I wasn't. So anyway, to be fair, though, some people want you at your lowest point because it

does provide riveting talk radio. No, no, I'm at no, No, I'm at my best guest gon when I am on top of the mountain and I am basking in the greatness of wonderful success for my teams. Well, I mean, if you want to go through that, I don't know the last time any of your teams actually had butterfide success. So you can go back the Rams, the Clippers, well, hold on, sick. The Clippers just won a championship not

that long ago, the Kawhi Leonard Championship. That's a championship that the Lakers wanted, the Toronto Raptors wanted, but the l A Clippers won the Kawhi Leonard Championship. The l A Rams when the NFC Championship beating that punk Drew Brees and then New Orleans Saints. By the way, Drew just apologized again. I just want you to know he's apologized again. And uh and then the the you know, the the other team, the Dodgers back to back World

Series a couple of years ago. So yeah, I think I think the last time, I think lost time any of your teams actually want anything with two thousand and four team this l King's long their second Stanley Cup in three years, so that's the last time any of your teams have walked off of the championship. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Miller Show weekdays

at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So that moving on here on the event diagram we have, we went from the I Told You soap caller, which is always a staple of sports radio, to the conspiracy guy conspiracy guy, which I love, right, I love Now. The great thing about making predictions in sports is that you're going to be right approximately ninete percent of the time.

Because you say, in the NFL is thirty two teams, only one of them is going to be standing on top of the mount at the end and win the Super Bowl. So if you say a team is not going to win the Super Bowl, you have a thirty one out of thirty two chants of being correct. Right. It's not even really that much because some teams are

not even trying to win. Uh, And you can say that obviously the numbers are different depending on how many teams there are, but most of the time teams simply lose because you know they're not good enough for the players didn't perform well you know, standard standard stuff by the books and all that stuff. But the conspiracy guy calls up and the team didn't lose because they weren't good enough. They lost because the other team was up

to some shinani. Right, And now there is proof with the Astros and so that is I didn't see that one coming, but there is proof of that. But oftentimes there's no tangible evidence to back up the claims. But you get the hey, this this game, that game is thrown and all that stuff, and uh or blame the officials, but it's some kind of conspiracy that that type of caller always brings up. And the only, the only time in the history of the show where this really played

wonderfully was and it was a pre act. It was a pre emptive shot. I had a guy from Boston who might or might not be a made man in Boston who called me up before a random Pirates Cardinals series when the Cardinals were good, they had LaRussa as their manager and Albert Poojos and the Pirates were dogshit and he said, hey, he says, I got a tip. He says I got a tip. He says, you gotta bet on the Pirates. They're gonna sweep the Cardinals this weekend, and just bet on them, you know, let it, let

it run, you know, let it roll. And uh. I was like, this guy is full of you know, he's full of happy. You don't know what he's talking about. And the Pirates won the first game. I was like, oh, wait a minute. So they won the second game and then and then they sure enough, and one of those games was like extra innings, and then they ended up winning all the games. The guy said they were gonna win.

It was unbelievable. So you don't you don't subscribe to any kind of conspiracy theory about the Music City Miracle, then right, probably you acknowledge that that play was legit and that was a bush. That was a bullshit. That was an illegal forward past that was not called by the officials on the field or on instant replay. They were there holding their dicks. They had no idea what to do. It was embarrassing. It was It was a dark day in the history of the NFL, and it

really fucked the Buffalo Bills franchise up. You know, I'm I'm an honorary member of Bill's mafia. So I'm offended, all right, Moving on again, these are the types of people to call sports radio shows. Here's another one on the event diagram, The old guy. I love the old guy that calls up. I get so many old guys that call up. Now. We dominate the older demographic on the Ben Mallther Show, and I have no problem. You know, elitist west of the four oh five guys like Gascon. Yeah,

you look down upon older people. I I learned Guscon to respect my elders. You, of course do not, But I do not mind taking calls from from the older people that call up, right. It's it's hey, when when the guy drinking the Grandpa juse calls up and he can't sleep because he's got insomnia in the middle of the night and he can't go to the bathroom because he's got other problems there, or he goes to the

bathroom too much. Ah, this is the highlight of their night calling into the show, and they've usually got pretty good stories to tell. You just gotta dig below the surface a little bit. Yeah, I think maybe a little bit of pushback on that is you're more relatable to

the older crowd. You're more relatable to the sixty five and older, where I have this wide range of you know, I can relate to the twenty year olds, at thirty year olds of forty year olds, And part of the reason is because I don't trigger people like you do every so often. So yeah, I think that's why you're more inclined to be relatable to the seventy two and over. Well,

here's it. I'm relatable to the blue collar worker. I'm relatable to the person of the factory, the person driving the truck, the person person working a grocery, star stocking shows. You're relatable to the asshole on top of the mountain mansion in Beverly Hills or out in the Hamptons in New York or Scottsdale. Uh, yeah, you're that type of person. So you're relatable to the to the very wealthy, the aristocrats, And I'm relatable to the people that bust their ass

and work their work, work the tail off to make pennies. Well, don't forget that one percent actually provides the jobs for the other percent, So there's nothing wrong with that. They're the ones that pay the bills. But not when the Marxists take over. When the Marxist takeover, guess guy, it's not gonna be the jig is up, guest guy, and you're gonna have to move out of West of the four oh five. So but again, the old timers, Uh,

this is a big thing for these guys. Uh, and and some of the things we have Skeener in Montana. Who qualifies as that? I guess Doc Mike, Doc Mike. He's not your typical old time caller. But Doc is in his seventies and he's still he's been calling me since he was in his fifties, and a lot of my regular guys are older. I haven't heard from Helmet Man in a while. No, he's not in his seventies. I think Helmet Man is probably in his late fifties,

early sixties, I would think. But we have not heard from him in a while as we're doing this evergreen podcast,

So hopefully helping Man's all right. But but the old guy calls up and you know, typically be like I like it the way it was back in the old days, you know that kind of thing, you know, back in my day, And uh, yeah, So who who doesn't enjoy a good back in my day rant or get off my lawn, And it's kind of an ode to one of your favorite guests, Fred Dryer, Yes, the great Fred Dryer who just had a birthday and not that long ago,

the great Fred Dryer, of course. And I know you don't like Fred because you don't like Hollywood and you don't like guys that crossed over from the NFL. But Freend's a good guy. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, so guess Scott the next I'm looking at my my ven diagram here. So the next type of regular caller that calls into sports talk

radio is the blind supporter guy. The blind supporter guy. Now, this is the kool aid drinking, brainwashed, mesmerized fan boy, which I am generally offended by. Now. I like the teams I like, but I am the first one to rip them and to take pot shots when the When the Clippers play like crap, or the Rams or the Dodgers or any of the teams that I support, I will unload on them. But this blind supporter guy fan boy, if you will, will not the greatest example this would

be Chris and Houston. Now Christopher called up one of the great calls. When I write a book, someday, I'm

gonna write about this. So the night the jig was up with the Astros and all of their cheating, when the Athletic report came out and detailed everything from Mike fires on how the Astros were cheating, all these videos popped up confirming what was in the athletic story with audio and video of what was going on in the Bang Bang for the Astros to know what was going on, whether it was a fastball or a breaking ball to tell. And we took a phone call that night talking about

seizing the day. We took a phone call from Chris and Houston who probably had his Astros onesie on and uh and he had his his Altobe Alboub fathead, and he said, there's no proof those videos were photos shop, I need proof and U. He went on this big rant and then of course they were is in hundreds of videos that were on YouTube that it all commenced at the same time there and it just shows you how you really look like an imbecile when when you

do that. And then it is the other type of fanboy call though, that whenever you say anything even mildly critical about a player or a team, these people call up and just go ballistic, Oh, I I have to support my you know. It's like their children. It's like they're treating their team like they're their players, like they're their kids. It's well disturbing. What I guess what fan base is most synonymous with this? Is this a Yankees fan? Is this a Lakers fan? Is this a Cowboys fan?

Or well, it's it's yeah, I mean, it's the I would say the Laker historians are are over the top. You of course are part of that. You're you're cuddled up with fan of James right now, you and you and it's a little place over there in Brentwood. Um. But yeah, the Lakers, the Cowboys. O. The Cowboys have been kicked in the nuts a lot recently. But the holy trinity would be Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, the most obnoxious, annoying, despicable fan bases. But that's not a list, Gascon. This

is a Evan diagram. Yes, yes, it is so, yes, all right, So some of the other types of yahoo's the call into these shows you you have the insider guy. Now, guess, Scott, do you know what the insider guy is? Yeah, you have infamously have blind Scott on the East Coast, who is one of your your one of your traders, one of your daytime traders. He's got inset information for you to do some stock trading. Uh, the same, the same thing that's applicable on the sports side of things. No, no, no, no, no,

this is uh, this is hey. My barber cooks the hair of Jerry Jones dog, you know, Jerry Jones Son and told me so and so and you know, told me that cowboys are gonna release Dak Prescott, right, They're gonna release Dak Prescott. Um and so it's it's the

person that calls up with claiming to have insider knowledge. Now, I will say, guess, to be fair to this insider guy, there have been maybe a handful of times that I have gotten phone calls from people claiming to be the insider guy trying to climb the social ladder, and it turned out to be true. But the vast majority, the vast majority of these type of situations is total bullshit and there's no truth to it at all. It's just

made up mumbo jumbo. Every every once in a while it is actually the would you consider Sports Talk with Barry and Insider? I love Barry. I get a kick out of Barry. Anytime I see a story that looks like it should be fake, I think it's got to be a Berry story. And then oftentimes it's not a Berry story. Yeah times, or it's so good that it actually happens two, three, four months down the road. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well where satire becomes reality right where satire intersects with

reality and it takes a while. But so if you listen to sports talk radio enough, the Ben Maller Show, or any of these other shows that take calls, there's not many of them left. Were the last of the Mohegans. You will hear insider guy calling up and working his his magic is what you will hear. So what else do we have? We got a few more here. I know we've got to skit dattle, but we have the the business guy. Now, the business guy is we don't get a lot of these guys because we're a blue

collar show. These are more daytime type of callers. The business guy. Uh, but they'll call up and try to brag about their credentials. Anytime you hear somebody call the radio show and talk about how they went to medical school or law school, you know, they're full of bullshit right there. But anybody calls up to demonstrate how credible they are, right Like, we've talked a lot during the pandemic about labor negotiations with baseball and these other sports

leagues and things like that. So then you've got a guy that calls up, you know, I've I've practiced labor law for fifteen years in Manhattan in my younger days, and then tries to tell you exactly what's going on because they're they've got this glowing resume, and then they know exactly what they're talking about. And oftentimes this is just bullshit. It's just a way for you to It's like a pissing contest to show you show everyone how

smart you are. Painting the ask well. On one occasion, though, we have had an East Coast doctor that listens to the show of the podcast that came on and was a guest of ours talking about the coronavirus. That was one nice thing that the other yeah, there are except well, I had a lawyer call up during the trial and tribut lations of Bob Kraft and when he was getting the tug of the rubbing tug or the tug and rub there in Florida, and I had this old guy

who he checked you, talking about boxes. He was an old guy, he was resume guy, he was all of that. And he called up and said, Hey, I am I'm a lawyer. I'm not an active lawyer anymore. I'm retired. But Robert Kraft is going to get out of this. And I said, what are you? What are you? What are you talking about here? And he brought up this random legal statute that goes back many many years. It's uh, what was it? I gotta look it up here. Um, it was the fruit of the poisonous tree, I believe

is what it's called. I think that's right. And uh, and it was. It was amazing because it was like explaining word for word how Robert Kraft was gonna get out of this. And I and no one else had brought this up, no one else else had brought this kind of thing up. And was, uh, No, I think it's across the board. Though I don't think it's just I don't think it's just in Florida. Um, and I'm trying to think. I don't I'm trying to think of the term here. I'm looking through some stuff. I'm trying

to find it. But it was the uh. It was pretty crazy because yeah, I hear it is the uh yeah, it is the fruit of the poisonous tree. And this is from a lawyer in Florida, like a retired lawyer that called up and was the hey look at me, I look at my resume guy, and it stated if the tree is tainted, then anything gained from it is tainted as well. And then we're talking about the video evidence of Robert Kraft in the act and also some of the when he got pulled over by the police officer. Uh.

And that was not a legal situation. So anyway that turned out to be legit and and well it's still going through the legal process, but Robert Craft has a very good chance of winning because of the fruit of the poisonous tree, which some random lawyer we just happen to be listening. Uh. And he couldn't sleep four in the morning in Florida and he called up and told us about it. So that was pretty cool. All right, what else do we have we have the don't understand

the way the call in talk radio delay works. This is always a big one here. Uh this this is like an homage to Joe and san Antonio who's always in over his head. So Guesscott, now you know live radio. You plausibly do live radio. But the delay system has been in place since, believe it or not, nineteen fifty two. Did you know that? No, I didn't know you were around that long, but that's pretty fast in and L. I didn't know you're that old, but that's it's finally

you got jokes. You got jokes. Bu K A P. You know what what city be? K he was in Gascon sestra radio knowledge? Did you pay attention in radio school? Probably I'll make a guess it is what would be St. Louis, Missouri. That is incorrect. W k P in Allantown, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, which at one point I don't know if it still is, but at one point that station became a Fox Sports radio affiliate, which was pretty cool. But that was the first broadcast in a five second delay.

That's almost seventy years ago. So the delay in talk radio, which was actually invented the year the bar code and the hydrogen bomb were were discovered. So it's been around for almost seventy years, and um, anyway, it was it was pretty cool because that station carried the show. But the point of this is that we get the type of caller that calls into the show and does not understand that there's a delay and they have their radio

turned up hollering. James does this a lot. Several of the callers will call up and and so then it creates this very weird again back and forth. We talked about it. You know, the the interrupting guy that interrupts all the time. Well, that's kind of a relatable situation to the person that doesn't understand how the delay works calling radio shows, because it creates this awkward situation. And so so that's the that's the deal on that. So

you got that. I'm trying to what are some of the other types of callers here gascon that I did not mention in this ven diagram edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. 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. I'm surprised you to mention it. But there's two that

come to mind. One is the drawing are intoxicated a caller, Yeah, that's that's that's a byproduct of being on overnight though. Uh well, you get a lot of listeners that can't sleep. There, insomniacts, They can't sleep, so they call in the other ones that passed out sleeper that you're You're basically their alarm clocks. So when they're passed out, you just you book them on live radio, and all of a sudden, you just let them snore into the phone. Yeah, my greatest We

we had back to back and belly to belly snoring callers. Actually, I think at one point, well cowboy fell asleep, cowboy wins. We have this guy, this the voice guy from San Diego. This guy had big pipes, sounded like you should be a voiceover guy. And then a third call, three in a row, fell asleep that has never been duplicated, that will never be matched. That is that was virgin territory.

No one, what are the odds that you will have three consecutive callers in one segment that are all sleeping. You talk about threading a needle gascon I believe. Yeah, I mean not an hour, but a segment that's that's comprised of what anywhere from twelve to fifty minutes. That's pretty phenomenal. Imagine how boring my monologue must have been to put everyone to sleep like that is a power, that is a superpower. To be able to do that,

you must have been doing clip talk. Um. What about the ones where they just continue to swear no matter what. They don't understand that they can't cut on live radio. Uh yeah, well yeah, that that's related to the drunk. That's related to the person who's all schnuckered up that calls up and you know, they turn inside out. They

don't they don't realize they're on the radio. That's what That's what I like to Also, when you have guys on for a certain amount that are regulars that they think they're just you know, we're a couple of guys at a bar hanging out, which is which is really funny because that's what program directors when I first got into radio, they always want to just make it seem like it's conversational, like you're at a restaurant or a bar,

you're talking to your buddies. The problem with that is, long story short, the problem with that is when you do that and guys just randomly throw a fuck in there or ship um, which which is what guys do. That's what men do, and I'm guessing women do the same thing when they're talking to their girlfriends. But it doesn't create work when you have to dump it and then it's just yeah, so it's but it's tied with the drunk thing. Yeah, it's gotta be. I didn't. I didn't.

I didn't put in I just want to. I didn't put in the handicap. I know you probably you wanted me to include the handicap because you're west of the four h five guy. But I I don't look at the handicap thing. I mean that people call up they're blind, whatever they got. I got guys that are in hospitals and listen to the show and all that and whatever can cheer them up.
