3:07
Speaker 5: I loved it being the breaking news on everything going
3:10
Speaker 5: on around the world, including the entertainment industry a.
3:14
Speaker 1: Lot of Marcel, how does it feel to have been
3:17
Speaker 1: the only person in the history of radio to report
3:22
Speaker 1: the Titanic as a breaking news story? Nobody else had that, Marcel,
3:28
Speaker 1: you were the only one that had that.
3:31
Speaker 4: Yes, it is.
3:32
Speaker 5: It was definitely a Titanic breaking news story. When I
3:36
Speaker 5: was calling you on Fox Sports Radio, when I was
3:40
Speaker 5: being launched it for you and call me sal and
3:43
Speaker 5: becomes Marcel my name itself.
3:47
Speaker 1: You have, Marcel, my favorite drop when we were talking
3:49
Speaker 1: about the Toronto Raptors and the NBA Finals and you
3:53
Speaker 1: gave us your player of the game. And I still,
3:55
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. When I'm having a bad day, Marcel,
3:58
Speaker 1: I have a cheshire Cat smile from ear to ear.
4:03
Speaker 3: So let's get to the mailbag, though.
4:04
Speaker 1: First up is Kevin in Kansas, and he writes in
4:09
Speaker 1: on the mail bag, he says, dear Ben, an honored guest.
4:12
Speaker 1: With the school year starting, stores are running sales right now.
4:17
Speaker 1: What do you remember buying for back to school back
4:20
Speaker 1: in your day? New shoes, new clothes, new trapper keeper,
4:25
Speaker 1: new lunch box. Yeah, so Kevin, I'll go first and
4:29
Speaker 1: then Marcel will go. So when I was growing up,
4:32
Speaker 1: it was always a big deal, always a big deal
4:36
Speaker 1: to get the lunch box and the backpack. Like that
4:40
Speaker 1: was where it was at. You get that lunch box
4:42
Speaker 1: on that backpack, and it was very important. The key
4:45
Speaker 1: thing was the backpack. You didn't want to have an
4:47
Speaker 1: outdated backpack, and we had these epic backpacks back in
4:51
Speaker 1: when I was a kid that had like superheroes and
4:55
Speaker 1: cartoon characters, and it was like really important to have
4:58
Speaker 1: that lunch The backpack was somewhat important. Then you wanted
5:02
Speaker 1: to have like the right kind of pins and things
5:04
Speaker 1: like that. So that was always a big deal in hindsight,
5:08
Speaker 1: looking back on it. I also got a few pairs
5:10
Speaker 1: of clothes, Kevin, I made a few outfits or whatever,
5:13
Speaker 1: but it was mainly, I remember the backpack, and it
5:15
Speaker 1: was like picking the right one.
5:17
Speaker 3: The lunch box.
5:18
Speaker 1: That was the most important thing because you couldn't go
5:20
Speaker 1: online and just grab stuff. Now, what about you, Marcell,
5:24
Speaker 1: any memories back in the day, a young Marcel growing
5:27
Speaker 1: up there in Brooklyn, any kind of school stuff that
5:29
Speaker 1: you remember getting for the new school year, Marcel.
5:32
Speaker 5: Well Ben, I had to say there because when I
5:36
Speaker 5: was growing up my grandfa my grandpa gave me some
5:40
Speaker 5: new clothes, new shoes, and of course new school stuff
5:45
Speaker 5: there from kindergarten days to my.
5:48
Speaker 4: High school days.
5:49
Speaker 5: Now I've been retired as always to become a student.
5:53
Speaker 4: I will just learn for all part parts of this back.
5:58
Speaker 5: To school industry, from app to science and everything in between.
6:02
Speaker 4: But money is so tight right now. And of course
6:05
Speaker 4: it's not just a it's always.
6:06
Speaker 5: Expensive, but it's definitely a cheaper side of the money
6:12
Speaker 5: industry so far. But also when I was the high
6:17
Speaker 5: school days, back from my middle school days from PS
6:21
Speaker 5: three Cecy nine K here in Brooklyn to Automotive and
6:25
Speaker 5: Westinghouse high schools, I have to say my new clothes,
6:29
Speaker 5: my hair is my cutting hair is off from those
6:33
Speaker 5: side of things, et cetera.
6:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, blah blah. But it's also you.
6:36
Speaker 1: Gotta be styling, Mars, so you got to be styling.
6:38
Speaker 1: What was your high school mascot? What high school did
6:40
Speaker 1: you go to? What was the name of the high school?
6:43
Speaker 4: Oh? Do I mention it?
6:45
Speaker 5: No mascots, But Automotive High School is the one and
6:49
Speaker 5: the second George Westinghouse High School.
6:52
Speaker 4: Both of them are part here in Brooklyn.
6:54
Speaker 1: Oh, I know that you grew up in Brooklyn. But
6:57
Speaker 1: they don't have a mascot like a dog or a
6:59
Speaker 1: cat or anything like that.
7:00
Speaker 4: No, mask, absolutely not, really, absolutely not.
7:04
Speaker 1: To me, Marcel. Every school has a mascot. When I
7:07
Speaker 1: was in elementary school, we had a bicycle as our mascot.
7:12
Speaker 3: It was a bicycle.
7:14
Speaker 4: Bicycles.
7:15
Speaker 3: Huh oh yeah, look, how exciting. All right, well, thank you, Kevin.
7:18
Speaker 1: Next up is Javon in the Valley of the Sun,
7:22
Speaker 1: and Javon writes in he says, hello, Ben and friend,
7:25
Speaker 1: that would be Marcel in Brooklyn, a special appearance.
7:28
Speaker 3: Here on the pod, and here it is.
7:33
Speaker 1: He says, you have made mention of the time you
7:36
Speaker 1: were let go from Fox Sports Radio brought back six
7:39
Speaker 1: months later. Can you talk about what initially went through
7:42
Speaker 1: your mind when they let you go and what led
7:46
Speaker 1: to them changing their mind to bring you back. That's
7:49
Speaker 1: Javon in Phoenix. So I was laid off in January
7:53
Speaker 1: of nine, Javon, that was the day that Barack Obama
7:59
Speaker 1: was sworn in as the President of the United States
8:04
Speaker 1: of America. And I remember the night before, we knew
8:08
Speaker 1: we were getting whacked because we had gotten a message
8:11
Speaker 1: that the New York Post had broken a story that
8:15
Speaker 1: the company that I worked for was laying off a
8:17
Speaker 1: bunch of employees.
8:19
Speaker 3: And then later on, about an hour later, I got.
8:23
Speaker 1: A text from one of my bosses saying there was
8:25
Speaker 1: a mandatory meeting the following day. You put two and
8:28
Speaker 1: two together, connect the dots, and today, yeah, you get
8:32
Speaker 1: the You knew we were getting getting let go, and so,
8:36
Speaker 1: like you know, it sucked. I did get a nice,
8:39
Speaker 1: big fat check. I'd been at the company at that time,
8:43
Speaker 1: I'd been there for nine years, and so they did
8:45
Speaker 1: have to pay me a little bit of money to
8:47
Speaker 1: go away. The problem was I like to work, and
8:51
Speaker 1: the other problem is I didn't have another job. So
8:53
Speaker 1: I ended up doing a bunch of fill in stuff.
8:56
Speaker 1: I did a stint at WEEI in Boston, where actually
9:01
Speaker 1: Marcel used to call me when I was on there.
9:03
Speaker 3: A second time I was on.
9:05
Speaker 1: WEI, but I didn't agree.
9:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did the Boston thing.
9:09
Speaker 1: I filled in Denver, Seattle, I got auditions in a
9:15
Speaker 1: lot of places. I was actually close. I will not
9:19
Speaker 1: say the name, but I was close to a gig
9:21
Speaker 1: on the East Coast, and it was neck and neck,
9:24
Speaker 1: and then I got a call back from Fox Sports
9:28
Speaker 1: Radio saying, hey, we want you back, and and so
9:31
Speaker 1: that was that was how that went down, back back
9:34
Speaker 1: in the day. You ever been laid off, Marcell, You
9:37
Speaker 1: can't be laid off. You're a legend, You're a self
9:38
Speaker 1: made man. You can't be laid off from a gig. Right,
9:41
Speaker 1: come on now you're Marcel and Brooklyn.
9:43
Speaker 5: Well, no laid off for me, but instead for my
9:48
Speaker 5: duties of laying off, I have to say I had
9:53
Speaker 5: to do nothing, but I have nowhere else to go
9:55
Speaker 5: to a job in my life.
9:56
Speaker 4: But the truth is I will.
9:59
Speaker 5: Definitely working from home covering this, what's going on on
10:03
Speaker 5: my socials, playing games, et cetera.
10:06
Speaker 4: Everything in my own half.
10:08
Speaker 1: It's my find out, Marsa. What's your favorite game, Marca?
10:12
Speaker 1: What's your go to game when you're looking for something
10:15
Speaker 1: to kill some time? What game do you play?
10:17
Speaker 4: Baseball?
10:18
Speaker 1: Baseball?
10:20
Speaker 5: And the second one here from my hobbies, I have
10:23
Speaker 5: basketball and I have football.
10:26
Speaker 1: Well, nobody saw can you believe that you're listening that,
10:28
Speaker 1: my man? Marcel? Baseball, basketball and football.
10:31
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable, and hockey is one of the hardest. But
10:36
Speaker 4: I never stayed in my life that I will fell. Instead,
10:40
Speaker 4: I'll go to get hurt.
10:42
Speaker 1: Well said Marcel. Al from the Latrine writes in he says,
10:46
Speaker 1: greetings Ben and special guest on this enshrinement weekend in Springfield.
10:53
Speaker 3: Ben, we've all heard your.
10:54
Speaker 1: Pandemic era tale of your not so nice walk in
10:58
Speaker 1: the park and the struggle you had with the public breastroom.
11:02
Speaker 1: That being said, Alf writes in have you ever gone
11:06
Speaker 1: number one in someone else's house and missed the mark
11:12
Speaker 1: on accident? That is from Alf the alien o Piners.
11:16
Speaker 1: So yes, we all have days where the aim is
11:21
Speaker 1: not right, and I do not like the pressure when
11:24
Speaker 1: I'm at somebody else's house because there's a lot of
11:28
Speaker 1: pressure to make sure you hit the bullseye, because if
11:30
Speaker 1: you don't hit the bulls eye, then what I end
11:33
Speaker 1: up doing is I'm having to try to clean up
11:34
Speaker 1: the mess. Do you ever make a mess, Marcel, when
11:36
Speaker 1: you're doing the number one at the ya?
11:38
Speaker 4: That's what the rocking house, right is messing it up?
11:42
Speaker 4: Clean things up exactly?
11:44
Speaker 3: Well, that well, said Marcel.
11:46
Speaker 1: But sometimes you know you shoot the patriot missile and
11:52
Speaker 1: it doesn't hit where it's supposed to hit. You know,
11:54
Speaker 1: it's close to the point, but not quite there. So yeah, Alf,
11:58
Speaker 1: I've been there and had to take the toilet paper
12:03
Speaker 1: clean up, make it seem like nothing happened, and that
12:06
Speaker 1: that is absolutely taking place now. I remember when I
12:09
Speaker 1: was a kid. I'm older than.
12:10
Speaker 3: You, Marcel.
12:11
Speaker 1: A lot of people when I was growing up, my
12:14
Speaker 1: grandparents and aunts and uncles, they had carpeting in the
12:18
Speaker 1: bathroom and hand the guy. Let me tell you something.
12:22
Speaker 1: You're doing the number one. Okay, you missed that bowl,
12:26
Speaker 1: or there is splatter on the side of the bowl. Okay,
12:30
Speaker 1: there's no real good way to get that yellow mellow yellow.
12:36
Speaker 1: You know what out of the carpet. You're cooked. You're
12:39
Speaker 1: absolutely cooked. It's just a nightmare situation.
12:43
Speaker 4: Now.
12:43
Speaker 1: Fortunately these days and for thirty years now or forty years,
12:48
Speaker 1: nobody's using carpet in the bathroom anymore. But I just
12:52
Speaker 1: wanted to share that it is an issue. But you
12:55
Speaker 1: have great aim, right, Marcel, you're a stud. Your mister
12:58
Speaker 1: Brooklyn over there. You never missed that toilet, right, Marcel.
13:02
Speaker 4: Absolutely not exactly.
13:05
Speaker 1: Now, one of my cousins who lives in Phoenix has
13:09
Speaker 1: his own urnal. How about that he had an ill
13:14
Speaker 1: gross in his No, Marcel, that's amazing in his own
13:20
Speaker 1: home a urinal that is that is VIP status, my man.
13:25
Speaker 1: All right? Next next up outback John and Joanna in
13:29
Speaker 1: the San Gabriel Valley of southern California, Marcel and Brooklyn,
13:35
Speaker 1: you know where the San Gabriel Valley is.
13:39
Speaker 5: The San Gabriel Valley is located in California, the Golden
13:45
Speaker 5: Great State of the West.
13:48
Speaker 1: You are such a big stud You are amazing.
13:50
Speaker 5: And by the way, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland,
13:55
Speaker 5: San Jose, Chico, wedding every city and county there in
14:00
Speaker 5: the state of its own.
14:03
Speaker 1: Well, said Mars.
14:04
Speaker 4: So.
14:04
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, out back John and Joanna big fans of
14:06
Speaker 1: the show, and they say, hey, big Ben and special guest.
14:10
Speaker 1: We were flipping channels and came across the Little League
14:13
Speaker 1: World Series game earlier this week between Nevada and Montana.
14:19
Speaker 3: Wow.
14:19
Speaker 1: It was the last thing or last enning round, last
14:22
Speaker 1: inning and Nevada was up by seven runs when there
14:27
Speaker 1: was a close play at third base that they went
14:31
Speaker 1: to review for the camera watched twelve year olds playing
14:36
Speaker 1: around for minutes waiting for the verdict. What are your
14:39
Speaker 1: feelings about reviews? And how long until we see a
14:42
Speaker 1: twelve year old tap his helmet for an ABS review?
14:47
Speaker 1: All right, so, first of all, I just can't get
14:52
Speaker 1: into the Little League World Series.
14:53
Speaker 3: I'm not it's not my thing.
14:56
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, the Little League
14:58
Speaker 1: team from where I grew up, when I was like
15:00
Speaker 1: around that age, they made it to the League World Series,
15:04
Speaker 1: and the big deal, as I remember, the big deal
15:09
Speaker 1: was that, well wait a minute, now, if you get
15:11
Speaker 1: to the championship game, it gets broadcast on ABC, so
15:17
Speaker 1: it was a big deal and I was like, all right,
15:19
Speaker 1: and now every game is on ESPN.
15:21
Speaker 3: It's like, it's just craziness to me.
15:24
Speaker 1: As far as the replay, the way things are going
15:27
Speaker 1: right now, absolutely we're going to have twelve year old
15:31
Speaker 1: Poindexter being able to tap his helmet, and the replay
15:37
Speaker 1: thing has gone too far.
15:38
Speaker 3: Like everything, it started out with good intentions.
15:40
Speaker 1: Let's get the obvious calls that are missed, let's correct
15:44
Speaker 1: the obvious calls, and it's morphed. It's changed over the
15:49
Speaker 1: years and now it's like every call has to be
15:53
Speaker 1: perfect and I'm just not wired that way.
15:55
Speaker 3: I'm wired mistakes are going to happen as long as
15:58
Speaker 3: they're not intentional.
16:00
Speaker 1: I got a roll with the punches, and that's not
16:02
Speaker 1: how the system is set up these days. Every call has.
16:08
Speaker 4: To be right.
16:09
Speaker 1: We are headed towards ABS in Little League and every
16:12
Speaker 1: form of replay, and to me, you should have like
16:17
Speaker 1: like the ABS.
16:17
Speaker 3: Thing's pretty good, it's pretty quick. The replay you should.
16:22
Speaker 1: Have like a one minute timer and if you need
16:25
Speaker 1: more than a minute, the call stands. Whatever the call is,
16:29
Speaker 1: it's got to be obvious, clear and obvious to overturn
16:31
Speaker 1: the call. So give them a minute and that's it.
16:35
Speaker 5: Indeed it is there, Ben, just like Major League Baseball,
16:38
Speaker 5: they have the ABS challenges with the two minute or
16:44
Speaker 5: even one minute clock taking place before the games taking
16:47
Speaker 5: place here from around the league, I do agree with
16:50
Speaker 5: the little leagues and the twelve year old is going
16:53
Speaker 5: to be absolutely all things crazy might be going on,
16:58
Speaker 5: but next time, as a matter of fact, instead of
17:01
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball, but the little leagues they have the
17:04
Speaker 5: ABS challenge. They have one minute or thirty minutes before
17:09
Speaker 5: the batter's taking place before the next one, and et cetera.
17:13
Speaker 4: Is that that I have to say, those little leaguers
17:18
Speaker 4: are definitely on fire instead.
17:20
Speaker 5: So next time the ABS clock taking place there for
17:24
Speaker 5: all games for baseball and softball, they have that too.
17:30
Speaker 4: Wow.
17:30
Speaker 1: Well that's see, that's the magic of Marcel in Brooklyn.
17:35
Speaker 1: Just just absolutely amazing, just absolutely amazing. That's the kind
17:38
Speaker 1: of commentary. That's why people tune in here. Marcel.
17:41
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's my job, including yours.
17:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not your job for us. Robbie, the Mariner
17:47
Speaker 1: fans very concerned you're gonna take his gig here as

Speaker 1: Whatever that is, So, Frank says, have you seen this yet?
21:05
Speaker 1: Or more importantly, have you actually tasted it? Speaking of
21:10
Speaker 1: former regulars, I have to say I missed the calls
21:14
Speaker 1: from the former Worst Caller of the Year nominee, credit
21:18
Speaker 1: Card Gordon, originally calling from Ottawa and later from Waterloo
21:25
Speaker 1: or London, Ontario. Whatever happened to Gordon from Quang he
21:31
Speaker 1: rocketed to the top. Essentially, what happened is he rocketed
21:35
Speaker 1: up and then came crashing down to Earth almost immediately,
21:40
Speaker 1: kind of like those booster rockets if you've ever seen.
21:43
Speaker 1: Back in the old days. He used to have these
21:44
Speaker 1: space shuttles and the space shuttle will take off and
21:47
Speaker 1: before it reaches the atmosphere, out of the atmosphere, it'll
21:52
Speaker 1: drop the booster rockets into the ocean. And so really,
21:57
Speaker 1: credit Card Gordon was the guy where the rocket, the
22:01
Speaker 1: booster rocket, you go up and then come back down.
22:03
Speaker 1: Now that was before Marcel and Brooklyn became a member
22:06
Speaker 1: of the mal and Militia. Credit Card Gordon, Marcel, he
22:10
Speaker 1: had my old producer Miranda Marino. He sent Miranda a
22:15
Speaker 1: credit card in the mail, my producer, and she says,
22:18
Speaker 1: I don't.
22:18
Speaker 3: Understand, why did this guy send me a credit card?
22:21
Speaker 1: And it turned out that Gordon, he was just called
22:24
Speaker 1: Gordon at that time. He became credit card Gordon because
22:28
Speaker 1: he wanted Miranda to buy him cartons of cigarettes and
22:33
Speaker 1: send them back to Ontario because it was cheaper. I'm
22:37
Speaker 1: still is cheaper to buy cigarettes in the United States
22:41
Speaker 1: than in Canada, and so he was trying to circumvent
22:44
Speaker 1: the Canadian taxes. And so that's that's how that went down.
22:49
Speaker 1: That's how he became I got.
22:50
Speaker 5: To tell you the cigarettes are bad, so.
22:54
Speaker 4: Kick the habits at bandit.
22:56
Speaker 1: Look at you.
22:57
Speaker 5: No one using the cigarettes, no stud And by the way,
23:03
Speaker 5: there bad My pops is having cigarettes. But on the
23:07
Speaker 5: other hand, instead of the cigarettes, he having a mouthstroke.
23:12
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, I look at you. You're full of information there, Marcel,
23:16
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the boys are gonna look up everything

23:22
Speaker 1: Ferg Dog and Malar prop Guy. They are the three

Speaker 3: He says, as I.
23:51
Speaker 1: Sit here on a very warm afternoon when my other

Speaker 1: the word place that ben Ever broke down with the malamobile?
24:04
Speaker 1: What was the issue? And did you have to get towed?
24:08

24:37
Speaker 1: happy that he caused me to run into a wall

24:45
Speaker 4: So anyway, d.
24:48
Speaker 1: Yes, Marcell, my dog likes to poop in the house.
24:50
Speaker 1: My dog Moxie, so JT the Wingman. I did have
24:54
Speaker 1: one famous breakdown. We were driving in central slash Northern California.
25:00
Speaker 1: There's this famous spot called Big Sir. You ever heard
25:04

25:26
Speaker 1: And it is a place of unbelievable beauty. It's got
25:33
Speaker 1: I mean, there's all kinds of amazing facts. You want
25:35
Speaker 1: some fun facts, Marcell, would you like that?
25:37
Speaker 4: Well, let's do it all right.
25:40
Speaker 1: The California Saga California nineteen seventy three, a single on
25:45
Speaker 1: the Beach Boys album Holland, depicts the rugged wilderness in
25:50
Speaker 1: the area of Big Sir, Big Sir, Big Sir. There's
25:55
Speaker 1: a diverse amount of wildlife there. You've got sea otters, elephant, seals,
26:01
Speaker 1: black bears, all of those animals there. What else? The
26:07
Speaker 1: river Big Sir River Watershed is a habitat for mountain lions, deer, fox, coyotes,
26:14
Speaker 1: non native wild boars.
26:17
Speaker 3: Are all right, there.
26:19
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. The Big Sir Mysterious Fog the
26:25
Speaker 1: region famous for its dense, mystical fog that often rolls
26:30
Speaker 1: in from the Pacific. The fog creates this wild atmosphere,
26:35
Speaker 1: especially along the coastline, adding allure and mystery to Big Series.
26:41
Speaker 1: So it was what happened here?
26:42
Speaker 3: Marcel and JT.
26:43
Speaker 1: The wing man. We were on a road trip, me
26:45
Speaker 1: and the wife. We were on Highway one, which often
26:49
Speaker 1: gets knocked out because of mud slides and.
26:53
Speaker 3: Rock slides and all that stuff.
26:54
Speaker 1: So we were driving and the car that we had,
26:59
Speaker 1: we had stopped at a photo area to take pictures.
27:03
Speaker 1: So we had stopped, we'd stopped the car and there's
27:05
Speaker 1: beautiful cliffs and just amazing picturesque views, and so we
27:10
Speaker 1: stopped at a place to take photos and then we
27:13
Speaker 1: got back in the malamobile to turn the car on.
27:16
Speaker 1: Didn't work. Car was dead, and the problem was we
27:20
Speaker 1: were out of cell phone reception we were on.
27:23
Speaker 3: And it was starting to get dark, and we were porked.
27:26
Speaker 1: We were like, oh crap, because we didn't have the
27:28
Speaker 1: stuff to spend the night there. We were just driving
27:30
Speaker 1: through and the car broke down and it was like
27:34
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what are we going to do? And
27:35
Speaker 1: we were miles and miles away from any kind of
27:38
Speaker 1: a gas station, any kind of a service station. Plus
27:42
Speaker 1: it was the weekend at night, those places close, so
27:45
Speaker 1: we're like, oh man, we are so cooked. We're so
27:47
Speaker 1: cooked here, and we didn't know what to do. We
27:50
Speaker 1: had no idea what to do. Anyway, what we ended
27:52
Speaker 1: up doing is we did nothing because we had nothing
27:54
Speaker 1: to do. So we were like, all right, So we
27:56
Speaker 1: figured eventually someone would. We were by ourselves, eventually someone
27:59
Speaker 1: would come and stop by, and we just asked them
28:02
Speaker 1: for help, and we waited about forty minutes, as I remember,
28:06
Speaker 1: and then we decided, let's just turn the car on.
28:09
Speaker 1: The car started. We were there like forty minutes. The
28:13
Speaker 1: car started. There was a problem with you the wiring
28:16
Speaker 1: and the malamobile, and we were able to get that
28:18
Speaker 1: thing started and we were barely able to make it
28:21
Speaker 1: out of there without it dying again. We then stopped.
28:25
Speaker 1: We went to the first repair shop we could go to.
28:29
Speaker 1: We then stopped the car, went inside to talk to
28:31
Speaker 1: the person that was there. They said, hey, we're closed
28:34
Speaker 1: and we can't really do anything, but if you leave
28:35
Speaker 1: it here, maybe we can do something. So we're like, well,
28:38
Speaker 1: we don't really want to leave the car. We we thought,
28:41
Speaker 1: well we'll just get back in and see if we
28:42
Speaker 1: can drive. We'll take our chances. So we got back
28:45
Speaker 1: in the car, tried to turn it on. Nothing, it
28:47
Speaker 1: died again.
28:48
Speaker 4: We were coow.
28:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, so car maintenance.
28:52
Speaker 4: Is troubled and also is definitely expensive.
28:56
Speaker 1: But said that was the scurious But it was only
29:00
Speaker 1: forty minutes. It turned out to be a false alarm.
29:02
Speaker 1: Although the car was a lemon, you won't get a lemon.
29:06
Speaker 1: We got a lemon.
29:07
Speaker 3: We got a highway one.
29:09
Speaker 1: Big sir, Marcel, you gotta go out there sometime.
29:11
Speaker 3: I know you're a globe trekker.
29:13
Speaker 1: Beautiful place, beautiful place. All right, let's hear we have
29:17
Speaker 1: next up. Next up, we have multiple questions. Let me
29:20
Speaker 1: see which one I want to pick? Eenie meany miny
29:23
Speaker 1: mo pick a question by Let's see here what do
29:27
Speaker 1: we have here? Which one should I pick?
29:30
Speaker 4: A B or C?
29:32
Speaker 1: Marcel? Which one should I pick? B oh B for Ben? Right?
29:38
Speaker 1: All right, yes too, Jane writes in. He's a big
29:42
Speaker 1: fan of your work, Marcel. He says, I know the
29:45
Speaker 1: pe ones know you said you would endorse a gay
29:50
Speaker 1: magazine for five hundred thousand dollars. So here's the scenario
29:54
Speaker 1: I have for you the Fox Sports lords. The overlords
29:59
Speaker 1: tell you the Ben Moua Show is going on hiatus
30:01
Speaker 1: for an undetermined amount of time, but they give you
30:05
Speaker 1: three choices. Under the following conditions. You cannot be negative
30:10
Speaker 1: and yes you are going to have to boot lick ball,
30:14
Speaker 1: wash and get your knee pads ready. But the pay
30:18
Speaker 1: will be one million dollars for three hundred sixty five days.
30:22
Speaker 1: You will have to produce a three hour podcast all
30:25
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days of the year. That's
30:28
Speaker 1: two thousand, seven hundred and forty dollars every day for
30:32
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days.
30:34
Speaker 4: He says.
30:35
Speaker 1: Option one, you have to move to Philadelphia and cover
30:39
Speaker 1: Lebron for the year and again produce only positive content
30:43
Speaker 1: about Lebron. Number two you have to move to Minnesota
30:47
Speaker 1: to cover Kyler Murray for the year with the same
30:50
Speaker 1: conditions as above. And number three you have to move
30:55
Speaker 1: to Houston, Shane says, and cover the assholes for a
31:02
Speaker 1: year and same conditions as above. Which one are you choosing?
31:08
Speaker 4: All right?
31:09
Speaker 1: So we're gonna eliminate Houston right off the top. We'll
31:11
Speaker 1: make this a fifty to fifty situation, Shane. So we're
31:15
Speaker 1: not doing Houston, the cheating a holes want no part
31:17
Speaker 1: of that.
31:18
Speaker 5: So then it becomes we don't say language on podcasting, radio, etc.
31:22
Speaker 1: That's right. Well, I'm gonna wash my mouth out with
31:24
Speaker 1: soap and water, Marcel, thank you for that reminder. So
31:27
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Philadelphia, those are the options.
31:31
Speaker 3: And I got my brother is over.
31:35
Speaker 1: In Wisconsin, which is not that far away from Minnesota.
31:38
Speaker 1: And then I got another brother in New York, which
31:40
Speaker 1: is like a ninety minute drive from Philadelphia. However, Lebron,
31:44
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Lebron. I just Kyler Murray. I want
31:47
Speaker 1: no part of Kyler Murray. And he wouldn't give me
31:49
Speaker 1: any attention. He'd just be playing video games like Lebron.
31:52
Speaker 1: I'm down with Lebron. So I'm going Lebron. Which one
31:55
Speaker 1: do you pick? Lebron too? You pick Lebron? Okay, very good?
31:59
Speaker 1: Next up, Scott from Northern Kentucky. We got Marcel and
32:02
Speaker 1: Brooklyn on the mailbag. Scott from Northern Kentucky. Right since

32:50
Speaker 1: It's a problem the old cliches about house gets now, Marcel.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been with you a long time. You've been
33:05
Speaker 1: with me a long time. You've made a great support
33:07
Speaker 1: of the show. We thank you for that. So I remember, Marcel,
33:10
Speaker 1: you every once in a while on a holiday you

Speaker 1: New Jersey and do your thing down there. Right? Family?

Speaker 5: moved here from two thousand and three, including the blackout.
33:51
Speaker 6: Oh and of course for Christmas instead gifts with my
33:57
Speaker 6: family including my cousins Demir and Davian.
34:03
Speaker 4: There are the best. Wow, that's a perfect for Look
34:07
Speaker 4: at that.
34:07
Speaker 1: A little behind the curtain with Marcel Scott and from
34:11
Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky says also, please never have blind Scott on
34:16
Speaker 1: as a guest on the mailbag. I beg you, Scott says,
34:19
Speaker 1: I'll even volunteer to do it. How about that me too?
34:22
Speaker 4: Blind Scott is a male not a female.
34:27
Speaker 5: But the truth is there, Ben, since I block him,
34:30
Speaker 5: he definitely try to cheat on all my.
34:35
Speaker 4: X platform, including that it's a terrible one.
34:39
Speaker 1: Scott says, No, this is Scott, Northern Kentucky's originally from
34:43
Speaker 1: southern California says no one wants to hear me or
34:47
Speaker 1: even know who I am, but I guarantee the militia
34:50
Speaker 1: doesn't want any part of him on the podcast. There
34:52
Speaker 1: you all right?
34:52
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Scott.
34:55
Speaker 1: Terrence from Parts Unknown rights and says Ben, Sometimes when
34:59
Speaker 1: you are criticizing an athlete, I imagine them calling into
35:02
Speaker 1: the show to defend themselves.
35:04
Speaker 3: Has that ever happened to you or anyone in.
35:08
Speaker 1: Your business, Yes, it has happened. There have been some
35:11
Speaker 1: famous moments in sports radio where people have gone mono
35:16
Speaker 1: almano to the host, my guy, Mike North, I think
35:20
Speaker 1: it was Mike North in Chicago famously had a run
35:22
Speaker 1: in with Ozzy Gien, who was a player for the
35:25
Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox. These days, though, Terrence, most of this
35:29
Speaker 1: is done on social media. I had a run in
35:31
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson when he was playing coming out of
35:35
Speaker 1: Colorado at Clemson. Also had a run in with Geno
35:38
Speaker 1: Smith and Doma con Sue, the boy named Sue. So
35:43
Speaker 1: I've had those are social media interactions. In the old days,
35:47
Speaker 1: I had interactions with players who got upset with me,
35:50
Speaker 1: and I'd go in the locker room and There's always
35:53
Speaker 1: a rule when I was getting into the business. If
35:55
Speaker 1: you're going to trash somebody on the radio, you have
35:57
Speaker 1: to be accountable. You have to show up to the
35:59
Speaker 1: locker room and let them see you if they have
36:01
Speaker 1: a problem with you. So I did do that back
36:03
Speaker 1: in the day. However, you know, these days it's mostly online.
36:09
Speaker 1: It's mostly online. But I have had my run ins,
36:11
Speaker 1: and if anybody has a problem with anything, I say,
36:13
Speaker 1: feel free.
36:14
Speaker 3: You know, like Blake Snell, bro I ain't playing unless
36:17
Speaker 3: I got mine.
36:17
Speaker 1: Blake's that little weasel, Blake Snell. My god, Mike from
36:20
Speaker 1: Wisconsin writes, and he says, Ben and whoever you're on with.
36:24
Speaker 1: In China, there's an experimental Chinese bullet train that has
36:29
Speaker 1: shattered the world record, accelerating from a standstill to four
36:33
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven miles per hour in just five
36:36
Speaker 1: point three seconds. Would you feel safe on a bullet
36:41
Speaker 1: train going four hundred and ninety seven miles per hour?
36:44
Speaker 3: And the answer, Mike is hell.
36:47
Speaker 4: No, no, me neither.
36:49
Speaker 1: Right, Come on, Marcel, if one thing goes wrong and
36:55
Speaker 1: you're going five hundred miles an hour, forget about it.
36:59
Speaker 3: It's all over.
37:00
Speaker 1: Turnout the last the parties over Leo d Rio from
37:05
Speaker 1: Chicago Rights and he says, Ben, how could PBS not
37:09
Speaker 1: have gotten their stuff backed up in multiple places? Now
37:14
Speaker 1: this is about a lawsuit. PBS Public Broadcasting Systems has
37:19
Speaker 1: sueded data Center.
37:21
Speaker 3: They lost access.
37:22
Speaker 1: To fifty a fifty terabyte archive with seventy years of
37:29
Speaker 1: TV history and it's all apparently gone. From what this
37:33
Speaker 1: story is. According to Leo from Chicago, it is mind blowing.
37:37
Speaker 1: If that's the only place. I hadn't really gone deep
37:40
Speaker 1: into the story. But I know, Marcel, you always have
37:43
Speaker 1: your stuff backed up in more than one place when
37:45
Speaker 1: you have your terabytes, right.
37:47
Speaker 4: Yes, it is.
37:48
Speaker 5: And speaking of PBS there, Ben, did you know the
37:51
Speaker 5: Corporation for Puppet Broadcasting they shut down last.
37:55
Speaker 4: Year because.
37:58
Speaker 5: The Trump administration has banned Also the Department of Education
38:03
Speaker 5: also bad.
38:03
Speaker 4: That's wow, they shut down.
38:05
Speaker 1: They cut that there's still PBS. They just cut the
38:09
Speaker 1: the money, the taxpayer money that that's going to Lance
38:12
Speaker 1: from LA Rights and he says, I would like to
38:14
Speaker 1: talk to lawyer Mallor. And he says, there's a guy
38:18
Speaker 1: from Starbucks or no, there's a guy. I guess this, okay,
38:21
Speaker 1: check that let me start over Marcel. So, this guy
38:23
Speaker 1: is an oil and gas executive who is suing Starbucks.
38:28
Speaker 1: He claimed a wobbly table caused hot tea to spill
38:33
Speaker 1: onto his genitals, leaving him with severe injuries. And so
38:38
Speaker 1: Lance says lawyer Mallard, does he have a winnable case?
38:43
Speaker 1: That is from Lance in La. So it's highly unlikely
38:50
Speaker 1: he's going to win the case. This happened in San
38:52
Speaker 1: Diego in twenty twenty four, And there's two things you
38:58
Speaker 1: look for. Number one, was this on Starbucks obviously?
39:03
Speaker 3: Or was this user error?
39:06
Speaker 1: Right?
39:07
Speaker 3: Was this user error?
39:07
Speaker 1: Should the person have noticed the table was wobbly and
39:11
Speaker 1: not put their drink down and alerted somebody at the
39:13
Speaker 1: Starbucks to fix the table? Did the person do that?
39:17
Speaker 1: That's the first thing you asked. The second thing you
39:20
Speaker 1: ask is the injuries? How bad were they?
39:24
Speaker 5: Like?
39:24
Speaker 1: How bad were the injuries here? Now, there have been
39:27
Speaker 1: examples of people in similar situations who have been able
39:31
Speaker 1: to cash in massive amounts of money, right, massive amounts
39:37
Speaker 1: of money. Now. Starbucks has denied the allegations. In its response,
39:41
Speaker 1: the company argued that the guy may not have taken
39:44
Speaker 1: appropriate steps to limit his injuries, including seeking timely or
39:48
Speaker 1: recommended medical treatment.
39:50
Speaker 3: So they're claiming, you know.
39:51
Speaker 1: He screwed that up. Bad job by him. The lawsuit
39:55
Speaker 1: the latest. There's multiple lawsuits here. Two customers recently sued
39:59
Speaker 1: pop up for more than one point five million over
40:03
Speaker 1: an alleged condom like object found in fried chicken? Marcel,
40:07
Speaker 1: have you ever gotten a condom in your fried chicken?
40:10
Speaker 4: The answer is no, okay? I had.
40:12
Speaker 5: Popeyes is a family friendly restaurant store. They have chicken bets, gits,
40:18
Speaker 5: et cetera.
40:19
Speaker 1: All right outback steakhouse hit with a one point five
40:22
Speaker 1: million dollar lawsuit a woman claiming she slipped on mashed potatoes.
40:28
Speaker 1: You ever slip on mashed potatoes?
40:31
Speaker 4: No answer is no, okay.
40:34
Speaker 1: Eighty four year old Florida man sued waffle house after
40:38
Speaker 1: alleging his window advertisements or it's in window advertisements distracted
40:44
Speaker 1: him from a curb.
40:46
Speaker 3: So have you ever been distracted by window advertisements? Marcel?
40:51
Speaker 5: No, sir, Ree, doles are definitely unacceptable.
40:57
Speaker 1: All right, very good? What else do we have? See
41:00
Speaker 1: page down? Derek from Honolulu writes in he says he's
41:06
Speaker 1: originally from Phoenix. He lives in Hawaii now. He says
41:09
Speaker 1: Ben can we get weed man to Hawaii for free housing?
41:14
Speaker 1: And there's an island, the Island Life in Hawaii that
41:20
Speaker 1: is offering to anyone free accommodations, free housing to anyone
41:25

41:43
Speaker 1: complete with electricity and Wi Fi.
41:48
Speaker 3: Wi Fi and the whole thing.
41:50
Speaker 1: And you have to commit to twenty hours a week
41:53
Speaker 1: helping them for at least a few months. Marcel, would
41:57
Speaker 1: you be cool being a pig farmer? Would you? Would
42:01
Speaker 1: you help rescued pigs?
42:03
Speaker 5: I've never been a zoo in my life, but not
42:06
Speaker 5: just in Hawaii. Oh, by the way, Derek, I'm so

Speaker 4: Marcell terrifying.
42:22
Speaker 1: Whether I will buy you a ticket to Hawaii if
42:26
Speaker 1: you want, you can fly there and then live at
42:28
Speaker 1: the Pig Sanctuary. Does that sound good to you?
42:31
Speaker 4: Well?
42:31
Speaker 5: Absolutely count me in, all right, Rarek, yes, Norick, thank you.
42:36
Speaker 1: Derek said he wanted to get weed Man. There, I say,

Speaker 1: to pay your bills, you still got to buy your

42:47
Speaker 4: Absolutely? And speaking of not just for we meant hippie.
42:51
Speaker 5: He definitely lost to the Benny Awards this year, but
42:55
Speaker 5: this year, but next year.
42:56
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, man, I will take it
42:58
Speaker 4: right back, all right.
43:00
Speaker 1: Well Parker from Vegas rites in and he says, ben,
43:06
Speaker 1: I have fished my entire life. But even if you
43:09
Speaker 1: haven't fished, how could someone not know what a piranha
43:13
Speaker 1: is or looks like?
43:14
Speaker 3: And this is the story.
43:16
Speaker 1: An eight year old fisherman caught a piranha after the
43:21
Speaker 1: dad thought it was a normal fish. The dad didn't realize, like,
43:25
Speaker 1: wait a minute, here, that's not a normal fish. That
43:28
Speaker 1: is a frickin' piranha. And this is this is a
43:32
Speaker 1: guy named Mike, a Pennsylvania native, and they were out
43:36
Speaker 1: fishing there and that's it.
43:39
Speaker 5: Now.
43:39
Speaker 1: The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commissioned were roped in and
43:44
Speaker 1: quickly confirmed that it was a piranha. Which is more
43:48
Speaker 1: native to South America than Pennsylvania. So I guess you
43:53
Speaker 1: don't expect to see a piranha there, but they found
43:56
Speaker 1: a piranha.
43:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
43:57
Speaker 1: And I don't know much about fish either. I don't
43:59
Speaker 1: like to taste of fish.
44:01
Speaker 4: I don't really eat neither.
44:02
Speaker 3: Are you all air high five?
44:04
Speaker 1: Marcel?
44:04
Speaker 3: I'm giving you an air high five. We're teaming, Yes
44:08
Speaker 3: it is.
44:09
Speaker 1: You.
44:09
Speaker 3: Ever been fishing, Marcel.
44:11
Speaker 5: I've never been fishing in my life, but I was
44:14
Speaker 5: tried to looking for the fish there with that.
44:19
Speaker 4: Tank.
44:19
Speaker 1: Yes, understand, I understand completely. All right, what else do
44:24
Speaker 1: we have?
44:24
Speaker 3: Let's see page down.
44:27
Speaker 1: Well, Hudson from North Carolina rites in. He says, Ben,
44:31
Speaker 1: why would police need to warn people to not go
44:34
Speaker 1: aboard the viral ghost ship? This is a police in Tacoma,
44:40
Speaker 1: Washington have warned people not to board the ghost ship
44:46
Speaker 1: of cats. Forty furry feline creatures were rescued from the
44:54
Speaker 1: cat boat and it's anchored off Owen Beach in Washing
45:00
Speaker 1: So I guess, Marcel, this boat was just filled with cats.
45:05
Speaker 1: And then obviously you know what cats do, Marcel, to
45:08
Speaker 1: create more cats, They make cat whoopie, and they made
45:12
Speaker 1: cat whoopie, and then that's what happened there.
45:14
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know.
45:16
Speaker 1: The only thing I would say, Hudson is it's likely
45:20
Speaker 1: some YouTube people trying to go virals who are like,
45:22
Speaker 1: oh man, I'll go on there, this will be great,
45:24
Speaker 1: We'll go viral.
45:25
Speaker 3: That's the way to do it.
45:26
Speaker 4: Come on.
45:27
Speaker 1: Bruno from New Jersey writes in on the mailbag with
45:30
Speaker 1: Benny and Marcel in Brooklyn, the og the Gangster Marcel
45:36
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn, Bruno from Jersey says. Bruno from Jersey says, Ben,
45:44
Speaker 1: there was a teenager charged with a salt as he
45:48
Speaker 1: was relentlessly hitting X his ex girlfriend with dodgeballs in
45:54
Speaker 1: gym class. So this thirteen year old boyface is a
45:56
Speaker 1: misdemeanor assault charge after relentlessly pelted his ex girlfriend with dodgeballs.
46:03
Speaker 3: She ended up in the hospital.
46:05
Speaker 1: And then Bruno says, is that really what happened? Or
46:09
Speaker 1: is there more to the story? So Bruno, I have
46:12
Speaker 1: no idea. How how the hell am I supposed to
46:14

46:15
Speaker 4: Me neither, Bruno?
46:17
Speaker 5: What kind of that terrible on peril Ward's story is
46:23
Speaker 5: taking place?
46:25
Speaker 4: Why do you do that?
46:26
Speaker 1: I will tell you though, Marcell when I was in
46:28
Speaker 1: elementary school. I never had to worry about, you know,
46:32
Speaker 1: taking a dodgeball to my ex girlfriend because I didn't
46:35
Speaker 1: have an ex girlfriend. I didn't have a girlfriend. Now
46:37
Speaker 1: you were a big ladies man, I've been told by
46:40
