  Speaker 1: I thought that would have been perfect.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And so we did that and survived the colonoscopy, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: we'll do it again. Before you know, it'll be time
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to do another tremendous colonoscopy, so freaking exciting.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Cannot wait it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, wasn't that bad. It was not speaking of
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: the price difference. I was reading this story, and this
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: was not nobody emailed us in. But I was reading
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a story earlier that some dude died a couple of
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: years ago, and there was this debate about where did
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: you live.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Do you live in Connecticut or Florida?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: And the difference is a thirteen million dollar tax bill
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: from the state of Connecticut, and of course the estate's like, well, no,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: you lived in Zero Beach, which is the Dodgers used
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: to train. We called it Zero Beach back in the day.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: But I heard it's a lot better now than it
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: was back then. But anyway, Yeah, So imagine that you
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: live your life in the same country. You're in Connecticut,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: and you you go to Florida, and then it's thirteen
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: million dollars more to live in Connecticut. I've been to Connecticut.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I've been to a lot of Florida. I've been to
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: all of Florida've been to a lot of Florida. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: haven't spent any time in the Redneck Riviera, but other
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: than that, I've been around. And thirteen million dollars difference insane, insane, right, insane.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Of the Membran. It's like, come on, really, what are
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we doing here. I've talked about this in the past.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it with you, Robbie or not,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: but we talked about when you make a lot of money,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and financial advisors will tell you the two things that
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: you do is first of all, most important is you
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: move to Florida or Texas.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But Florida is the one to move to.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And then the other thing is you want to start
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: a nonprofit because it's a way to money money launder, you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Know, essentially.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I mean you can hire your friends and family and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: it's all because of the nonprofit, you know, because they're.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They're doing bookkeeping at the nonprofit.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: They had a zoom meeting on the nonprofit. So that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: worth like, you know, seventy five thousand dollars. So it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: a good way to do it. But that's insane, thirteen
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: million dollars, thirteen million. That's why people retire to Florida
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: because they getting they get to keep most of their
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: money or a lot more so.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Anyway, Oregon has some weird tax things too, with in
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: terms of if you die and they estimate your net
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: worth of everything you own and clean your house over
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: a million dollars, they take a ton of it that
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: you can't pass on. So like, that's one of the
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: reasons there's so few I think there's only like one
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: billionaire left in the orgon is because they all move
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: when they get old because they don't they or they
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: want to be able to pass some of it along
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: to their relatives and their you know, like their kids
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: and everything.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: So oh yeah, you know it's it's crazy, like the
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: whole death tax thing, which is both federal and on
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the local level. I didn't really know much about it,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: so I lost my parents and it was in craziness.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It was like, you got to be kidding me.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: So you work your entire life and you try to
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: do it to help out the next generation. And Uncle
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Sam's like, we're the next generation.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We get exactly. You don't get that money. We get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that money. I'm like, well, wait, how the hell does
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that work? Anyway?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Outback John and Joanna write in says, hey, big Ben
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and special guests. We know this is a little late,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and with all due respect to Dick and Dayton and
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: ohio Al, we thought Marcel in Brooklyn and Jay's scoop
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: song was.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The best malady.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: There have been so many songs written about the show,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: especially holiday songs that we only get to hear during
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the holiday season. So our question is, has anybody thought
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: about creating a channel or a podcast that collaborates all
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: of them so we can listen to them whenever we want.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That's from Outback John and Joanne.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: We had this request when I was doing the podcast
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: with Danny g before he quit and at least quit
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: the podcast.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But we we were.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Like, ah, I think we did a holiday special one.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I remember doing a year where we put all the
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: songs in for Christmas.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'd be open to it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of work, though, and yeah, so a
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: lot of putting this stuff together and tracking it down,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: and a lot of the songs are older.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: We had so many songs during the pandemic. It was crazy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It was so much fun because everyone had free.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Time and they were bored out of their mind and
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: so people were putting songs together right and left.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And I mean it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Were really good songs too. These were not like crappy songs.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: These were solid and professionally done songs.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: No, I know some of the stuff during COVID there
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: was a couple that I was like, oh, that's going
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: to go viral. None of them really broke containment per se.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: But yeah, the song the Jayscoop one, I missed sports.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: If you would release that not right, if you would
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: released it back when sports was in its peak of
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: being absent in terms of I think he finally released
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: the song on your show like a week before baseball
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: came back. I still think that song would have gone
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: viral because it sounded just like a Blink one eighty
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: two song.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was, Yeah it was. It was really good.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well, well think about it and were always
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: looking for things over the holidays which will be here.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Before you know it, to try to get that going on.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Let's see what do we have? Kwang from Ho Chi Minh,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Vietnam guaranteed human and he says big Ben. On our
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: one of Tuesday's Original Recipe podcast, you mentioned that you
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: didn't have enough time to watch the loquacious about your
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: mister t story.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Do you have time now? We'd love to hear the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: full story.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: That's Quang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, who still wants
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: me to eat that macaroni and cheese pizza, which for
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: some reason I thought I was going to eat last
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: week and then the address got messed up, so I
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: guess I'm not going to eat it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but claying. Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: So, when I worked in local LA radio, we had
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: a guy named Mike Thompson who was our program director,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and Mike loved to hire He loved the pulse stunts.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: They don't really they don't really do radio stunts anymore.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Back in those days, you know, that's thirty years ago almost,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: we did a lot of radio stunts, and I love
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: radio sh.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Stick and stunts. It's just so much fun. And so
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he thought, well, to get attention for the radio station,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we should hire some were in LA. We were doing
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: only a local LA sports talk.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Why don't we hire some big entertainment people and we'll
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: give them like one hour a day to do a
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: midday show. How bad could that be? You know, they
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: can't really f that up, and we'll get a lot
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of publicity. Keep in mind, this was in the days
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: before the internet really was a thing, and it was
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: much like AOL.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Was the internet, if you know what that is.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: So it's a lot. So he's like, yeah, we got
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: one hour, call in a lunch with whoever. And so
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: there were two people that they originally brought in, as
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I remember, to do the show. One of them was
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: this actor named Eric Estrada who played Pontarella on this
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: very popular nineteen seventies eighties TV shitt called Chips.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Which is before Robbie's time. Yeah, you have no idea
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who that is. But I mean when I was a kid,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that was a popular show and it was pretty cool.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: And then after that there was a gentleman named mister
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: T who had been popular in the again in the eighties.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: This is in the nineties, and mister T had had
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: some financial problems. It was in the tabloids and so
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I forget exactly what happened as I remember it, and
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: then the boss is like, we're gonna have mister T.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: So they brought in these guys, these two actors to
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: end up possibly doing the mid day show, and I guess.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: They didn't offer them enough money. It didn't work out.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: They couldn't hammer out a deal, so they ended up
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: hiring well, there were two people they end up hiring.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: The first one we hired was Carl Malone, the NBA
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: player Karl Malone, who was playing for the Utah Jazz
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: at the time. So I did a show following well,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I was following Karl Malone.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I was doing the midday show.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: And then that ended way longer than it was supposed
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to be, and they hired this quarterback who had some
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: success in the NFL named Terry Bradshaw to do an
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: hour show, but mister T was originally the guy they wanted,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and so he was in the building. And you understand
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: you're younger than me, Robbie, but like for me, growing
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: up like those, I didn't have the Interweb.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: So we watched a lot of TV. And I love Chips,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: which was what that Eric Destrata actor was on, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I love The A Team, which is what mister T
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: was on. So for me, it was like, oh my god,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this is crazy. These guys are in the building.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: And they were they're going to do a radio show,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: and I was like, whoa, that's wild anyway, So there
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: is that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Let's see page down all right.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: This one is from Maddie from Parts Unknown. He says, Ben,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I saw your old morning guy Klay Travis is going
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: to a new website.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be working for him? That is okay?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: First of all, sign your name number two.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: No, I have a I have a deal with Fox
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio, so I do not believe I will be
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: leaving Fox Sports Radio to go.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Work for Clay.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Now, if he wants to offer me one hundred million dollars,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: we can revisit that, but but no, I'm happy for Clay.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I guess he sold out Kick.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw something about that, But then he still
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: like retweets their articles every day, so I don't know
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: if he's still involved with it. It was kind of confusing.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I have no idea. I'm not in that area. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: just try to get through the day. I wish I
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: had the business acimym of Clay, and Clay was great
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: when he's the morning show for us, and I got
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: nothing bad to say about the guy. I just don't
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: deal in that world like he deals in the corporate
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: world he deals with those people.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I don't really I wish I did.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I'd probably have a lot more money and all that,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: and it would be great. And you know, stay in
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: your lane, which sometimes it's better off not to stay
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: in your lane.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's good to change lanes. So I have no idea.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Good for Clay if he starts a new website, more
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: power to him. Bury from Tilton Head, South Carolina for now,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: says Yo Yo, Ma Benny and friend. I am a
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Tigers fan, so I thought I would watch the Dodgers broadcast.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Of school Bitching in his LA debut. If the Dodgers
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: are a world class baseball organization, how is it that Jessica.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Mendoza is the TV color commentator? My god, is she horrible? Yeah, well,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: she's not a lot. I mean, there's a lot of
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: broadcasters that are absolutely objectively terrible.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Barry, I do not care for.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Jessica Mendoza's work on television. I do not watch when
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: she's on. I don't don't. I don't think the Dodgers
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: actually have very good broadcasters at all. Unfortunately, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: go from anybody after Vince Scully is a downgrade. I
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: just think they're pretty mediocre there with the Dodgers, so
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I usually end up watching the other team. But then
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: these other teams are not there that good either. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: was talking to a buddy of mine the other day
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: and we were like, well, there's probably like five out
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: of thirty teams, there's five of them that have really
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: good broadcast teams.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Five of them. That's it. Out of thirty, that's not good.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there wasn't.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: There wasn't initiative both in the NBA and in baseball
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and hockey all three, I guess, to get more women
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: involved in the broadcast. And so you'll see like these
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: token things like the Red Sox this week did an
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: all women broadcast, which I think they have the same
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: woman that comes to all these things and just does
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: the play by play.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: But I don't know.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Whatever it's it's still there. I if they're good, that's fine.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Anybody doing the broadcast.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: If it's good.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I just have not found it to be very for
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: my taste, it's not very good.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Robbie, you big. Jessica Mendoza fan a fan of these broadcasters.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: She was on Sunday Night Baseball a couple of years ago,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: wasn't she? And I that's kind of yeah. No, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: mean I will say she's okay compared to everybody else,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: but every but like you said, if you would have
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: told me, what's the number of like non of games
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: where I don't mute the TV for baseball anymore, it's
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: about five. So and she's definitely on the mutable list.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I kind of agree with you.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I don't know the athletics. I don't know
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: what they're doing, Like maybe they just don't want.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That, they don't want category of bad for anyone to watch.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't know that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, my god, the thing that blows me away
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: about this is that there's no quality control. Like you
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: think there would be some quality control. It just doesn't
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: seem like that's the case. Thank you, very good luck.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I feel like you've been saying you're looking to relocate,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: looking to leave, and it's been years. Reggie from Detroit
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: writes in says, Ben, I haven't heard you fill in
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: much during any local shows in a while. What happened
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: to your side hustle? Thanks, I'll take my answer off there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Yes you will, Reggie off the air. No, so I
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: am available.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't like to do too much of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that stuff because of my sleep schedule.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Every once in a while I'll do it. I have
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: not been asked. Well, maybe I sucked at it. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: guess I don't know, but not just like La. I'll
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: fill in anywhere. I'll pop up. And I've done a
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: lot of hits like radio interview stuff I don't always
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: send out on X.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Radio. People and where was I?
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I was on in North Dakota, a couple of places
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: in Canada, Guy in Edmonton, did a morning show in Florida.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: There's a few things I've done, the hosting of the show. Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: there's also politics involved in it, Reggie.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: People at the station.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Don't want some national guy filling in locally, so that
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: becomes a problem.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, more than open. If somebody wants me to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: fill in every once in a while, I'd be happy.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: To do it if I can work the schedule out
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: do ale. I don't want to do more than a
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: couple hours here and there. Matt from the Bay Right
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: since has been lots of drama O rama, as you
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: would say here in the Bay Area with k NBR
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: letting go of Greg Popa while he's in a battle
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: with cancer. I was disappointed you didn't talk about it
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: on your show. I figured you knew about it. What
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: did you think? That's from another very popular guy's named Matt.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: So this guy said he's in the Bay Area. Yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: so ay, I did see the story.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Greg.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: We are on the other station in San Francisco, so
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I kind of stayed away from it for those reasons.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know Greg Papa well. I met him a
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: few times way back. He used to be the voice
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: of the Golden State Warriors and a really good play
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: by play guy did the Raiders. I think he did
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: every Bay Area team at one point or another. The
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: guy's a freaking legend. In northern California, as you know, Matt.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And it's a shame. I mean, you could not have
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a worse look for a radio station. Like you wonder
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: how incompetent some of these people are that they're like.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a good idea.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: We're going to fire one of the more popular people
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: in this recent two generations of Bay Area media while
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: he has cancer. What could possibly go wrong with that?
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's an awkward situation because how do you
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: handle that. They obviously wanted to make a change, he
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: had apparently been away. It's just a lack of human kindness,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: which jame and it's it's just I A had a
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: bunch of my radio people, Robbie that were messaging me
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: about this, and it's it's just like you're so tone death,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: you're so obtuse if you're in management that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You don't even realize like this is gonna get out
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and it's just not worth it. It's like, what do
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you what do you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Know now that there's other opposites of that, there's other
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: extremes like you don't need to go the other direction,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: like the Dodgers who every year send out a press
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: release because one of their former players is schizophrenic and
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: they have to Oh yeah, they'll sign up for his
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: insurance and they make sure to send out the press.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Really it's like groundhog Day. Oh it's setting the announcement. See,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: you don't need to do that either. There's a middle
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: ground somewhere, like there's a middle ground somewhere.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So I wish all all goodwill, good vibrations to Greg Pop.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Although the guy was at amazing run as a broadcaster,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: and hopefully he can beat this thing. And I guess
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: he's not going to be able to get back and
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: do the forty nine ers because of a situation. It's
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: hard to do play by play from home unless it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: a pandemic.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Apparently not a pandemic, so we'll see what happens.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not shocked, knowing what I've known about my business
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: of radio, which I love. Unfortunately, there's a fair amount
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: of this kind of activity thanks that takes place. King
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Roy writes in says, dear Big Ben and Blank, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I guess you're blank.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Probably that's worse.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: He says.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: We all know how much the malad most loves BUCkies,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: and apparently BUCkies is not one to mess with. BUCkies
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: has filed a trademark lawsuit over an Ohio convenience store.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: In the nine page civil complaint, attorneys for BUCkies outlined
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: three specific elements they claim infringe on their brand, the mascot,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: the color red, and the name. What are your thoughts
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: on that situation? I provided a link.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so, King Roy, I saw this. You were not
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: the only person I chose your email. You were not
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: the only person to message me about this particular story. So,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: from what I understand now, Bucky is apparently very lintigious
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: as a business, which I don't love.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I've read that too.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: However, from what I understand, this convenience store they attempted
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: to get like national branding rights for this mascot. So
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I guess BUCkies is claiming we were we didn't care
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: about this mom and pop liquor shop, which is at
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: the one we went to, Robbie.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: This is the is in Ohio, the BUCkies we went
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to in Dayton. Remember we were that great road.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, that was a wild, wild night. That was fun.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: That was top five night for me for sure.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I had a wonderful time with you in Roxanne til
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: she fell asleep in the back of the car and sheet.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Just to pull back the curt It was wild. She
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: will So we were listening with Talic on the way
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: back to the back to Cincinnati, and she was like
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: dead asleep yet still singing to the songs. Remember that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: It was so wild.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: It's like Robbie, no, not you. I was hollering James,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: you know James exactly. James will say my name while
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: he's sleeping, like he'll be fast asleep. And then Ben
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: very odd, very odd. So yeah, that's Roy again. So
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: their claim, that's their argument. You know, you might position
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: on this.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: There's the Bucky's side, there's the mom and pop convenience
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: store side, and then there's the truth somewhere else.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So I like BUCkies. I enjoy going there.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I've only been a few times, so I don't know
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: what you want me to do with that, but yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I've been like, you'd like that not to happen. It's
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: bad publicity for BUCkies. Although if you read the follow up,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: it seems like it's reasonable if this guy was the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: small mom and pop place was trying to take them.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: You know, when the logo or win a similar logo,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I could kind of understand that but anyway, we'll see
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: how that plays out in court. Kevin in Kansas emails
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: and you can email the mailbag for next week's episode
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: care of Real Fifth Hour, Real fifth Hour at gmail
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: If you'd like to be part of a future mailbag,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: put mail bag, put mail or mail bag in the
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: headline on the email, and make sure to sign your
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: name and help us out put a city down.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, what's the point. What are you doing?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: All right, Kevin says dear Big Ben and guest star.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out what to do with my cassettes,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: CDs and record albums. It's been years since I've had
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: something to play them on, but they still have some
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: special meaning to me, or for me rather in this
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: day of streaming everything.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: I like the physical stuff. It's very still, very odd
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: to me. I know it's been this way for a
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: long time, but there was a point, Robbie. If you
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: bought a movie, you owned the movie, or.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: A video game, you own the video game.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not gonna make was it PlayStation?
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I read oh both Now PlayStation's official that like in
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: two years they're stop gonna stop making discs in their
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: next console, the PS six, whenever that comes out, it
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: won't have discs at all. But there's like heavy rumors
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: that Xbox. Once people kind of just get used to
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: the fact that there's not gonna be Sony console discs anymore,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Xbox will do the same thing. So, yeah, it's crazy.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's just something about it. Like I've had songs.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I don't I'm not a big music guy, but I've
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: had songs so that I've had on my one of
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: the music streaming things that I have, and then I'll
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: buy it and then it'll be like it's songs no
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: longer available. Well I paid for it. Well you can't
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: just take it back. Well we don't have access to
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: it right now. Well no, that's not any that should work.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So you got to make that decision, Kevin.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: If you don't have any way to play it, maybe
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: pick out a couple that are extra sentimental to you
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: and then get rid of everything else. You can't really tell,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: you know, what are you gonna do with it? Shane
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: from Dallas writes in and says, hey, Benny and whoever, Okay,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Robbie or whoever are you excited about the almost two
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: hundred year bottle of old bottle.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Of Guinness that was found in a shipwreck.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: And Shane says they're going to try to recreate the
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: original recipe of Guinness.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: This is from the eighteen sixties.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Divers recovered a one hundred and sixty two year old
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: bottle off the coast of England. You mentioned that this
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: thing is sitting in the bottom of the ocean for
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty two years.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Holy crap.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I don't it must not have been that good.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: They didn't write it down. Well, I guess they did
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in this thing, but but uh, I guess no, they didn't.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: They just found a bottle of it. They're gonna they're
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: gonna take it to a lab, right, that's what. Yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: so they didn't. There's no recipe, but it was that good.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They would have written a recipe now, I guess maybe they.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Uh. When Getet's first started, wasn't it it was like
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: I think they just made a dramatization on Netflix. But
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: it was like a group of brothers that did it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: So maybe they just kind of eyeballed everything, you know,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: like when someone makes a homemade recipe and they didn't
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: ever write down the official official first Yeah.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I heard that. I think we talked about
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: on this podcast.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: I either heard it or I found the story that
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Kentucky Fried Chicken the secret recipe was written on either
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: a back of a napkin by Colonel Sanders or something,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: not a real colonel, by the way, and they like
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: he put one of the spices down twice, like the
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: eleven herbs and spices were actually like it was one
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: that was repeated.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which spice.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: It was some kind of pepper or something like that,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: but that's how they did it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be amazing?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Though, in a parallel dimension, Robbie, if the one hundred
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: and sixty two year old recipe of Guinness they recreate it,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: they sell old old Guinness, and then that becomes a
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: top seller. Wouldn't that be wild? If that's like, oh
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: my god, of course, you imagine the alcohol content that
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: must have been in those They didn't you know, they
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: didn't know that.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Hell, they were doing right, They're just yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, it could go either way, I know, back
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: in like medieval times, they put alcohol in everything because
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: the water wasn't safe to drink just pure water. So
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: that's why everyone was always drunk. Apparently I read somewhere.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Well the Funny I talked about this. I think it
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: was a Friday podcast that Plymouth Rock. The reason they landed.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: One of the theories is why they stopped at Plymouth Rock.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: They ran out of beer. On the Mayflower, they ran
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: out of beer, and so they just stopped there because
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: they know they needed their beer.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And the reason is any I guess why not just
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: go with it?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Leo from Sweet Home Hit Cogo rites in and says, hey, guys,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I guess I'm one of the guys, and so are
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: you will Mike the Leprecaun be getting a cameo in
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: the remake of The Leprecaun. Apparently, Leo says, lions Gate,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: which is still a thing, is going to bring the
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Leprechaun back to life. The old horror franchises are coming
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: back and they're they're getting on the action reviving the Leprechaun.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be great, Robbie, If we did a lions
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: we could write the script, all right, Mike the Leprechaun
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: horror character and he haunts people by calling overnight talk radios.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: That's great. Another idea would be like to use some
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: of the zanier characters the show, like Hollering James and
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: Mike the lever p Kaann and just use them as
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: like a horror creature fest type movie, you.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Know, like that when they're speaking, let's workshop this.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: So we'll have the different characters like Mark the full
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Name Guy, Jadi Fled and all that, and they're they're
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: all part of a secret society that has had interaction
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: with extraterrestrials. And every time they get on the air,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: there's a subliminal message that they use that freaks out
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: certain people and then triggers them into zombie mode where
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: they they are foot soldiers, zombie foot soldiers that do
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: the bidding of the Leprechaun, Mark the full Name Guy, Poppy,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: all these cats, right, they're all creatures, things that go
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: bumping eat bumping the night.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: There's been worse indie movies or indie graphic novels than that.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: So I say let's do it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's make an apple come on now.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: I have no artistic ability in terms of drawing so
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: we're gonna have to outsource that part of it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wazy to make that stuff.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: I guess.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: I was never a Leprechaun guy in terms of the
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: movie stuff back in the day, So I don't really
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: have much to add to that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Leo.
• 30:12

  Speaker 1: Says they're looking at a winner according to the weather models.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: They're looking at a winner of.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: Storm surge and coastal flooding. From George, Well, George, shouldn't
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: you be worried to You're on.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: The coast, the Pacific coast.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: In Vancouver, I'm not well of First, I don't live
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: that close to the ocean, so I'm not that worried
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: about that. And secondly, how many my life, we've had
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: a bunch of El Ninos. It's you know what I mean, Robbie,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Like this happens every so often, and it's it's one
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: of the most maddening things.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Like the weather hustle is next level. Yep.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: The amount of people that have been able to raise
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: money from all you know, global global warming, global cooling
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: back in the old days. Uh, it's it's a lot.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of bullshit. Excuse my French. They're mixed
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: in with yeah, like I don't I'm not.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Worried about it. They always throw the word could in there.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I mean you could, yeah, sure could.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: Could Anything could happen. They're like, well, if the if
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: the global temperatures go up like five degrees, well could
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: what's the percentage chance of that? Well, it's like a
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: one in one hundred chance. Well, it's like you get
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: there's a certain you know that people say, I just
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: want to live today, Like, yeah, it sounds kind of
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: what's like naive until you really think about Like it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: you can't worry too much about what's going to happen
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: in fifty and one hundred years when you should worry
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: what's happening where your feet are at the moment the most.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's just me.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I genuinely agree with you, and remember the thing that
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: really got me there. There's a website and I don't
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: have it, or i'd give it out.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It compiled.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: It goes back to the nineteen sixties and it compiles
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: scientists talking about end times because of weather.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: See something years.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: We're going to there was I remember one of the
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: headlines was We're going to run out of water.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And this is in the nineteen seventies. We're going to
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: run out of water.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: These are professional scientists from major universities who spoke politically.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: In most of these were from political forums. There was
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the ice age that was upon us, the return of
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the ice age that was happening.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: It was global cooling, then they went to global warming.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: In between they had some other stuff and it was
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: all you look back on it now that we and
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: nothing worked or nothing they said happened actually happened. But
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: they made money and people see that stuff and they
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: donate money, and you know, God only knows what happens
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: to it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: And there you go.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Or all the people that bought that population bomb book
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: in the eighties and that they were convinced like a
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: billion people though that that'd be too many billion people
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: on the earth to survive, and we've well surpassed that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Not to get political, but yeah, the weather in population
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: stuff is quite the racket.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Third rail on my own third rail exactly.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Let's see ian Ian from the Valley of the Sun says, Ben,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: do you think that this is oh, I sick you.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Put a word in here that you shouldn't be here.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: I think this is cool or the act of a fool,
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: and it says a Florida teenager. This is ian, says
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: a kid in Florida. Teenager broke a three hundred and
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: six year long record by becoming the youngest professor at
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: the age of eighteen, and you go, so, yeah, it
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: seems a little seems a little on the young side
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: to be an actual yeah professor.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know if this is bad of me, but
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: like I feel like depending on the what he's teaching,
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: it might not matter though, Like if you know math,
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: I don't feel like you need to be a wise
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: guy and have lived like a long life, Like if
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: you know the numbers, I'm there's probably twelve year olds
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: that are much better at math than me that can
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: teach me stuff. So it's to a certain extent, I
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: actually don't think it's that big a deal now in
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: terms of it feels like a philosophy professor you. I
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: don't know, maybe it's just me. I want gray in
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: the hair if you're going to be like a you
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: know what I mean, like a liberal arts professor.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, uh Nathan. Uh what is the guy's name here?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah, Nathan Thomas. That's a generic name.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Uh my turned eighteen that the Nathan has already earned
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: both his bachelor's and master's degree in electrical engineering with honors.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Returned to Miami Dade College eighteen years, three hundred and
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: forty six days old, the officially became the youngest male
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: professor ever, breaking a record that stood for three hundred
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: and six years, previously held by a Scottish mathematician, Colin McLaurin,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: who became a professor at nineteen years old in the
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: early seventeen hundreds.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: How do they keep track of this stuff?
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Nathan was also sixteen days younger than Eliyah Sober with
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: a question mark when she set the record for the
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: world's youngest female professor.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: That was in eight Let's see here, it doesn't I
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: mean it must say somewhere here. It's a long story.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what exactly he's teaching that
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: would that would help, wouldn't it? Yeah? Yeah, I don't know.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I can't help you.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: I don't have time to go through it right now
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: because we're doing the we're doing this surreal time. Next
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: time you send the email there, pal Ian might want.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: To put what he's actually doing.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Corey from the Ie rights in just to fall a
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: with Ian. It's kind of like doing a talk show.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: It's I started out when I was a kid in radio.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Generally to be a good talk shows you kind of
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: have to have some life experience. It's like one of
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: those things. Corey from the IE says, that's in southern California.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Robbie in the Inland Empire they called the Ie. He says,
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: have you seen Odyssey yet?

  Speaker 4: seen Odyssey. That's Christopher Nolan. Have you seen this, Robbie?
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Have you been there?
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: So it's one of those things. I want to see it,
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: but I don't want to see it in one of
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: those inferior quote unquote inferior I guess formats because he's like,
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: you got to see it in Imax, But the nearest
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: Imax is like forty five minutes away from me. So,
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: and it's a three hour long movie, and that's a
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: lot of time, and.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a lot of time.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: They say, this is gonna be the crossfol billion dollars,
• 38:00

  Speaker 4: He says, A gentleman just swam for fifty five straight
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: hours to cross the Baltic Sea.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: With no sleep. And that is the new record for
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: this I get.

• 39:33
  Speaker 5: the point where I was on a swim team, and
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: then like when I was fourteen, I developed an allergy
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: to chlorine and that was the end of me swimming.
• 39:40
