  Speaker 2: Mailbag Edition, so Ohio Al, get me in the mood!
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It's in the bag Ben's Mailbag All right, well, we
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: spin the wheel of the Malheur Militia Legends, where big
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: names like Hollering James and our friend Mike the Leprechaun.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Who else have we had? We've had Robbie the Mariner
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: fan's been on more than anybody. Weed Man Hippie, big names.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Nico from Vancouver, some big names here. So let's spin
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the Malheur Wheel of Legends. Big money, big money, ain't
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: no whammy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Stop!
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: All right. Here I am. Thanks for having me on.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: So I could do a couple of things here. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: could go extremely overboard and exaggerate all my stories and
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: try to antagonize the audience like I do on the
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: radio show. I can just act normal. But one thing
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I want to tell you is we're fighting over this
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: entrance to the North End right now. They came up
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: with a plan to it. They're going to build an
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: entrance to the north end. This guy's going to build it. And,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm so much against it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Hold on a second.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Now, hold on. First of all, your phone sounds like crap.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to get a lot of junk. People
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: are going to be like, why'd you put it up?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It doesn't sound good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, it doesn't sound good now?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Listen, this is Blind Scott, if you didn't already know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Legendary radio caller from the north end of Boston, right
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: down the street, the cobblestone street. where he walks down
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to Boba's Bakery. And we want the quality to be good.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Because guys just complain. You know, people love to complain.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is this better?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It's fine. It's workable. It's workable. I'll deal with the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: people complaining. It'll be fine. So now the whole point
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of this is to answer questions. You have stories, though.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: So they're going to close. What are they going to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: close off the north end? They're going to what are
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you going to have to know?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: They're just putting a glass entrance there. That looks like
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a strip mall.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: You know, I was born in 1982. I'm very Irish Catholic.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I lived in the same neighborhoods as the Brattons and
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: the Nylons, like famous Irish Catholic families from Boston, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: you know, Bill Bratton from the LAPD. The first celebrity
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I ever seen was Chris Nylon. He played for the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Montreal Canadians and he was playing against the Bruins and
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: they were just.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Going off on him.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: He was from Boston. They were throwing trash at his family.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Whitey Bulger was there. My dad, he bought this house
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: in a neighborhood, right, in 1980 for $ 39, 000.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: When I was five years old, my dad pulled the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: rug up.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: It was completely maroon underneath the rug. My dad told
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: me somebody had maybe committed suicide in the house.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Before, so we got a good deal on it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: My dad's father, he was from East Germany, and my
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: mom's family came to Boston in 1865. They were from Ireland,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and they had a construction company they came here with.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: And they built the subway in Boston. And then they
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: were Irish bootleggers, Irish bootleggers. So the Irish has always
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: been in the North end before the Italians, the Italians.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: They just came here like in the 1960s. But Italian
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: American culture is very popular in Boston. But if you
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: know the history of Boston, it's always been South Boston
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: versus Charlestown. And the North End has been caught up
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: in the middle of it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? All right.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Calm down.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We're getting the whole you're doing a whole rant. This
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is like a monologue, like a blind spot. So I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: want to get to the questions here and then you can.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: We'll go rapid fire. There's a lot of people that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: wrote in, believe it or not. I don't know why.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: People knew I was going to be on because I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: tried to mention it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We did get a couple of questions for you regarding
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the show. We'll get to those as we work our
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: way through. But we begin with Fergdog. These are actual
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: questions by actual listeners. Realfifthhour at gmail.com. Realfifthhour at gmail.com.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Fergdog in Fullerton writes in. He says, Ben and whoever.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That would be Blind Scott. I'm a little nervous. Writing
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: in the mailbag this week, a certain someone wasn't a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: co-host last week, so I'm worried he will be this time. No,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Robbie's not here. Ben, for the guy who complained from Ohio,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I'd like to do my part to revive the verbal octagon.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And now the obvious choice is for me to challenge Robbie,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the Mariner fan. But, Fergdog says, then I'd have to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: listen to him even more, so I'd only be punishing myself. Instead,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I would like to challenge Danny G Radio. It is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: his fault. That we're in this mess to begin with.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: If you can arrange that, I'm all in. Yeah, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, I chat with Danny every once
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: in a while when I run into the.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's a possibility.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't think Burn Dog... I have the same
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: type of radio bug like he does. He just is
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: trying to get content here. He's not doing any of
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: this stuff. So if he wants to be in the
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: verbal octagon, for number one, he has to change from...
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: this content to being a live on air content. So
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the one thing I have a problem with Ferndog is
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: he's great. He's great for the show, but he's not
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: stepping up to another level and it's affecting the show.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So he should be in the first hour. He should
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: be that call in the first hour. He doesn't understand
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: that he can say what he wants to say on
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the air, and people will call and react to.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: It, and he'll get the same. So here's the thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: The juice ain't worth the squeeze sometimes with some of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: these comments people are making. You can actually call in
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and say. All right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You're jealous. He's getting a lot of attention from his ex-account.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He also says, I am a big pumpkin guy. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: love everything about pumpkins, the patches, the pies. I love
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: pumpkin pie. He says, though, a lot of them he's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: tasted are bland. That's true. A lot of the pumpkin
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: pie is bland.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I like carrot cake.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Carrot cake is disgusting. He says, the great pumpkin patch.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: A fun fact about the Charlie Brown special, it was
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the first time Lucy snatched the football from Charlie Brown,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: in animation form at least, was on The great Charlie
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Brown special. So there you go.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: This actually is.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Pretty good content. It's different when you're working with this live.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: He gave us a lot to work with. I bought
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a Charlie Brown scarf last week on Amazon.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: How do you know it was a Charlie Brown scarf?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Because I shop everything on Amazon now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: So I asked for it. I was trying to buy
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Charlie Brown products. So I bought some generic.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: That's very random. That's very random that you would want
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown products.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: My mom, my mom sees that show up and then
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: she returns it. All right. Moving on.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Bruno from New York city, right? Since there's a flight
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: passenger with an unexpected, what we Scott, what you just sneezed.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Well, all right.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Anyway, a flight passenger with an unexpected bulge caught with
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: 10 live birds in his underwear. A passenger was arrested
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in Miami. This is from Bruno. He wants to know
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: If you've ever seen anything like this at the airport,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: somebody at Miami International Airport.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: That's a musician. Those are doves, probably.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Ten birds in his underwear.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Those are extreme exotic birds that are worth a lot
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: of money, maybe.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: That's a heavy guy, probably.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: In order to put birds in your underwear, you probably
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: have to be over 240, right, to hide them in there.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know how that would work. He
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: obviously went through security somewhere to get on the plane
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to Miami.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm afraid to go through TSA, so I haven't
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: flown since 2007.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a long time ago. Well, you don't go anywhere.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: You're Mr. Boston. You don't travel anywhere.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I have everything right here. I social life all the time,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: you know? We can argue about that entrance to the
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: North End again if you want to hear how bad
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to mess. I love the North End.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I always.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: There's this restaurant it's called on middle stage. It's only
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: two years old. It's the number one restaurant in the neighborhood. Sage.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: You ever, you ever done something like that, Scott, where
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you've gone and, uh, Taking contraband through an airport? Probably not, right?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You've never done that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: No, but I had sons that did that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I guess you could just put really illicit drugs in
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: your pocket because they don't show up on the metal detector. So, Ben,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: imagine you put like an eight ball in your pocket
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: and walk through TSA.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: No one would know.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Do they ever stick their hand in your pocket when
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: you're walking through? That's how it works, Ben.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought your pockets are supposed to be empty, though.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I thought they always.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing. They never check. So you put
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: it in that little wallet pocket, you know, that little
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: wallet pocket, that's what it's for. You know, the one
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: that can't be.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Empty, you know, the jeans won't. Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: So that's what people do. They put it in there.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: TSA doesn't care about that stuff. They're worried about that
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: shoe bomber guy.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? They don't care about people getting.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Owen, Owen from Salt Lake city writes in, he says, Ben,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I saw Joe Rogan got a massive deal. When is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Spotify going to buy the Ben Maler show and the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: fifth hour podcast? I guess Joe, according to Owen, Joe
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Rogan renewed a nine figure Spotify deal worth nine figures.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: God, how many years is that? How many years is
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that over?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Um, I, let me, click on this hold on a sec.

• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Newton He used to do that Is he the guy
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: that was on the Man Show?
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: So he was originally... He was on The Man.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: That was Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel were on The
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Man show.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: He did X Factor, too.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did Fear Factor. Not X Factor. Fear Factor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Remember the... And he was on News Radio, a sitcom.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: He's kind of like Jimmy Kimmel. He was like a
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: radio guy.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: And then Jimmy Kimmel became a nighttime talk show guy.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, Jimmy Kimmel. I started a little older than me,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: but when I was doing L.A. radio, when I started,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel was the sports guy at K-Rock, and Ryan
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Seacrest was an afternoon DJ at Star 98.7. I guess
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they've done okay for themselves.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. You forgot about Adam Carolla.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: He was a carpenter and he's from the area.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Adam Carolla was on that K rock morning show, Kevin
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and bean. He also did love line with Dr. Drew
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: at night.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That was my show. Love line. I used to
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: call that. So you did, you did. Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Dr. Drew, by the way, was a one point I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: met him. I did some stuff at Westwood one and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: met him and he was a listener with What was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the guy? There was one of the hosts after Adam Carolla.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: They went through a bunch of people. One of the guys. Oh, Stryker.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: A radio host named Stryker hosted Loveline, and they would
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: listen on their way home. All right. Next up, what
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: do we got here? This guy didn't sign his name.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Bad job by you.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Anonymous says, Benny, do you think in your fatty days
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: back in the 90s, you could have eaten this new
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Wendy's burger? And apparently in Japan, Blind Scott said, Wendy's
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: launching a gigantic mega burger, seven patties, 2,614 calories. I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: could eat.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: That because I go a long time without eating, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I can actually eat a lot.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Like I could eat like Joey Chestnut, you know? Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: They say you can order it anywhere, but it's actually
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: on the menu, I guess, in Japan. Back in the day, yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I could have eaten that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: That's just like a triple Whopper on the Burger King.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: There's seven patties. That's a lot of patties. That's a mega, mega,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: mega patty. I mean, that's a lot of meat.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: That was my... Wendy's was my place. I like that place.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I used to hang out in the basement of the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Wendy's in Downtown Crossing. It was like a party there
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: all the time. You could get anything down there. It
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: was a two-floor Wendy's.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: They really had... Wendy's really had the franchise.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I used to love Wendy's, but it was popular back
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: in the day. I have not... eating it with you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: They're not doing as well these days.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't leave the house anymore, really. I actually
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: haven't been leaving the corner of my neighborhood.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I understand. All right. Well, that seems completely healthy. Ricky
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: from Texas writes in. Blind Scott's with us on the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: mailbag on this Sunday. Ricky from Texas writes in, says, Benny,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: are you bummed that Hershey's chocolate pumpkins are not actually
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: carved pumpkins? So apparently this is like something you would
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: be involved in, Scott. There was a $ 5 million lawsuit
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Hershey faced.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I got one now, a lawsuit, actually a pretty good one.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Class action lawsuit accusing Reese's of deceiving advertisers over its
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Halloween candy. Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins featured carved eyes and
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: mouths on their packaging, but the actual candy had no
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: facial features. So this guy sued, and Hershey's added a disclaimer,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: carving not on actual product. They've had to put that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: on all their Halloween packaging here, Ricky says. However, we've
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: reached a point now. in American civilization, Blind Scott, where
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a candy company like Hershey's here has to hire lawyers
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: to explain that a peanut butter cup is not professionally
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: carved like a jack-o'-lantern. Now, the judge did rule that
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: plaintiffs suffered from subjective disappointment. That's not a legal injury,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: so not official diagnosis, and so therefore the judge threw
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: out the case saying, subjective disappointment, he said.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Dude, that sandwiched police officer that ruined my record, he
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: just got caught drunk driving into someone's front yard like
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: a month ago.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: We played hockey together, me and the guy. He totally screwed.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: He's not going to be a cop anymore. I couldn't
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: be more happier. It's bringing me closer to my family.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: All right, that is a non sequitur. Nobody from Nashville
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: writes in. with a three-pack of questions. He says, doing
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: mal or math, how much money would Tim Tebow have
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: made in NIL revenue, and how many years in schools
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: would he have played for? So Tebow would have.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't have been the richest guy ever because he
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: had that Christian connection. He would have gotten money from
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the Christian super church of infinite amounts of money he
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: would have made.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: He would have made at least a million dollars a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: year minimum, probably $ 2 million a year, and would have
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: had to play... he'd have what he would have had
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to do scott would be bounce around the bible belt go.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: All over i like tebow he was in new england
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: when hernandez that stuff was going down with hernandez people
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: was in the camp then when they were following hernandez
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: with the airplane you know because remember.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: That great moments in patriot history not every team's had
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: a player kill somebody while on the roster the patriots yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: So that's who i'm posing up to connecticut so i
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: know people that knew hernandez like So I have all
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: types of stories.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: But but his brother played college football, too. You know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: they were a big football family. The father was like
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: a maniac. And it's like crazy story.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Nobody from Nashville writes. Also, do you can ever consider
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a Malheur intervention for Jed who fled?
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Well, no, because he's not willing to do one. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: can't do an intervention on someone like that. He needs
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: to have a spiritual awakening.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't know what's going on because Jed was,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: he went to jail. I don't know all the details.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: We have a listener, Scott. When you guys don't call
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: for a while, this guy will do some investing. We
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: have a couple people that'll talk to you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I know what.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: If you've been arrested or whatever, he'll, he'll track you
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: down and find out.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And he told me what came up on my query check.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Did I wonder what came up? I still don't know.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: He's not here right now, but anyway, the point is Jed,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: who fled stopped calling for a couple of months. We
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: thought maybe he was dead or something like that. He
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: ended up back in jail. So the guy, the guy
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: looked him up and then Scott was, he was supposed
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to be in jail for, Till next year And then
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: like He called in And But.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: He was whispering I was I followed Yeah I was.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Following But then he hasn't called since So we don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: know what happened Oh.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Here's what No here's what happened You guys blew up
• 17:09

  Speaker 3: guys freaked him out That freaked him out You could
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: tell he was spooked Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I guess But he hasn't called since.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But he's a crystal meth addict He won't hear this
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: right Maybe I shouldn't say.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: What He does try to listen. He's a super fan,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: so he does.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: He's a crystal meth addict, so he's paranoid. He's having
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: a hard time now, so he has brain damage from
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: doing drugs. So he was trying to process what's been happening.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: The diagnosis from Blind Scott. Also, does the explanation for
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: how Nick Saban left Miami, the Dolphins, satisfy you? If
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: you ever watch them... Then Little Hartford Company Series. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: don't know what that is.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: No, it's Dan Marino. He ruined the Dolphins. He never
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: was loyal to them. He screwed their franchise. It was
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: never Nick Saban. It was Dan Marino.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: But Nick Saban, he.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I was on believe it or not I was on
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Radio and that all I remember I remember.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: We talked we did torch him because he had said
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to Alabama there were all these rumors
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: he was going.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: To leave and he the Alabama fans hated you like
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Gumby Dave he hated you for that he.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Might never I mean I knew Gumby Dave personally we
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: had a falling out but he never shut up about
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: how that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: You know Yeah, these guys get very upset. I'm at war.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize it, but I'm at war with the
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Raider fans right now, Scott. Yeah, I saw that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: That was pretty exciting. They put 63 comments in a
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: post of a video. I couldn't even read one of them.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Raider fans are so stupid, dude. Al Davis was overrated.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Raider fans look like they're wearing Halloween costumes. You're lucky
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: that you have them following you like that. It makes
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: you relevant.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Mason the Millennial writes in. He wanted us
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to yap about Ditka. We did the podcast on Mike
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Ditka yesterday. I didn't play any drops. There are some
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: great soundbites. I hope to work those into the show
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: at some point this week. He says, Mason the Millennial says,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you do an amazing job preserving great soundbites. My favorite shit,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: he said, is all those soundbites of Tommy Lasorda. who,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: me as a younger person, never really heard all that much,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: but thanks for you telling the stories, keeping it alive.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I now have knowledge of hilarious stories, yet sort of
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: as It was wonderful. Remember, the Bavacqua drop was much
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: better than the Kingman. The Kingman, the guy hit three
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: home runs with a bleepity bleep.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Dude, me and Mason and Emmett, we had a friend group,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: like a friend chat that went on for a few years.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: So I'm pretty tight with Mason, but we had a
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: falling out too, you know, like there was a falling out.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You do have a lot of falling out, Scott.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Always the falling out.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: And Emmett, the Seahawk.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Fan, he's... not a falling out actually me and Emmett.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Emmett's blind and he is no longer an active member
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: of the militia.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: We're kind of an older audience seems like he moved
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: on you know I don't blame him he'll be back
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: it's hard to tell what these guys are up to
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: because it's just the radio show it's not real life
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: you know All right.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: There you go. Mason says, I still love you, Ben,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and I'm always rooting for you. I hope you are
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: around for a long time. Well, thank you, Mason. I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: not planning on saying that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because we were confused that he didn't love you
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: because he actually made big amounts and trolled me and
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Justin Cooper, and we found out it was him. But
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: he shouldn't have took it so seriously. Like, I do
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: that on the regular. He left the show because of it.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. I don't know. I don't
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: deal with all that stuff. I just do the show.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I don't care about all your drama and all that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: It doesn't interest me. Reggie from Detroit writes in. He says, hey, Ben,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I noticed you had a few issues with I noticed
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: you had a few issues with drops being played on
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: your show this past week. I've listened to you for years.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I've noticed you have not played as many drops the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: last couple of years on the show. What happened also?
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I hate these emails about drops.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: It's just not a drop. She works another show after
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: the show.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Calm down.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Calm down. All right, Scott. I know you will.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be diplomatic. Listen, I work with what
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I have, Reggie. I've had some great people that played
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of drops, which I loved and were a
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: big part of the show. And I feel like I'm
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: a better talk show host when I can play off drops.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: But I don't have that opportunity right now. As far
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: as sound is concerned, I spent a lot of my
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: time getting ready for the show in terms of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: monologues and stuff like that. And normally there's some other
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: people that would do that. I don't have that right now.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: So.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I just have to deal with what I have,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: and I don't have anybody to get to sound, and
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I don't have a job.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: It's still a pretty new group.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: It's been a couple years.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not the traditional group that was here.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. Like Frank Pollock, may he rest
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: in peace, was amazing. Danny G was great. Roberto, I mean,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: those guys were wonderful.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: But the overnight radio, I mean, these people, you got
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: to understand.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: You want to fight Reggie? Reggie emails pretty.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Much every single week. you know, well, I'm a crap
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: at a Reggie. I'll be, he's from Detroit.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I'll go, I'll meet him at the seven 11 in
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: the Sterling Heights neighborhood in the nine.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Why that's why that specific? I don't know what's so smart.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Cause I know where that is. Cause some guy calls
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: radio and gives that location. So I'll go to Detroit. Oh,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: can I talk about Detroit for a second? It makes
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: so much sense. Cause it's on a grid. I was
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a huge M and M fan. went to 20 M
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: and M concerts, like on buses by myself. Yeah. Like
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: that was like, that was a little bit wild, but yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: that was my childhood.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, let's keep going here. Bo from Kansas city, right?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Since as Benny radio, this Tyree, Tyree kill story is bonkers.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Will this end his NFL career?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: That's a civil case. It's a civil case. It's not
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: a criminal. No, If the NFL will get involved, they
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: shouldn't get involved. It's in civil court. All right.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So apparently he'll allege that his, I guess, baby mama
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: ex-wife took approximately $ 60, 000 monthly.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Without permission, despite already receiving $ 15, 000 monthly allowance.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see. $ 75, 000. I wouldn't even know how to
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: spend $ 75, 000. Let me explain to.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: You what's wrong with Tyreek Hill. It's called intergenerational trauma.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: His father was a dickhead. His father's father was a dickhead.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: And then they all smoked crack. And that's why he
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: screwed up.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I have seen– I don't know what to tell you, Bo.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I have seen some of the stuff. I'm not that
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: invested in the– as Scott pointed out, it is a– Yeah.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I know the story really well. I know the story.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I've seen the– there's supposedly audio, no video, but there's
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: audio of him.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I hope the guy burns in hell, but it's a
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: civil case. I don't think the NFL should get involved
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: in these civil cases because it's, he said, she said,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: but there's audio of him being like, I'll ruin you.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: But I say that to people all the time.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, that's the other thing too. I've
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: learned as I've gotten older, like if you go to court,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: if you're a woman, you really want to get some money,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: whether you have been abused or not. You've got to
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: play it up, though. You know what I'm saying? You've
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: got to really lean into that. Otherwise, you're not going
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to get money.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying nothing to any women at all. I'm
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: not stupid.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: He's the stupidest guy in the world. Idiots like to
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: get separated from their money, and he's one of them.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I got separated from my money.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I know. It happens.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is I mean, Tyreek Hill, he
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: had a second chance, right? He almost didn't make the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: NFL because of what happened. He beat up a woman.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm only familiar with him for being a wife beater.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I don't even pay attention to football.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I think it was the girlfriend beater. I don't think
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: wife beater.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: You can't call football on the radio. There's too many people.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: It's impossible to call.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: All right, calm down. Scotty from the Pike writes in,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: That's in your neighborhood and your name. Yeah. He says, uh,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Ben and whoever you're on death row. What is your
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: last meal on death row? All right. Uh, how about
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: a 10 course meal?
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm eating pasta with meatballs because the gluten is
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: such a pain to eat, so I would just eat that.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? This is a stupid topic.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Can we just move to the next one?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Scotty, by the way, Scotty on the Pike wants to
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: be on the mailbag. Should I let Scotty on the Pike?
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he has a pretty good radio voice. All right.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: From Marcus in San Antonio writes in, he says, Dear
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Big Ben and distinguished guest host. I don't know that
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I'd say blind Scott to distinguished guest host. Story came
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: out a couple weeks back here in San Antonio. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: don't think it made national news. Greg Popovich recently getting married.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I know that story. He got married to his co-worker's wife.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. Ex-wife of a former assistant coach,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Mike Budenhoser.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: What happened to him, though? This is normal to happen.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: If your brother passes away, you would marry his wife.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: That's actually normal.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Okay. Anyway, he says, my question, this is from Marcus
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: in San Antonio, says, my question is, what are some
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: of the best sports spouse smashing stories that you could
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: think of, not including one of the most infamous, if
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: not devastatingly sad examples, Steve Nash? experienced a few years ago.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: That's from Marcus. So there have been a bunch. I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: know a lot of them. I know they're going to
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: get banned. These are all, I want to prep. Thank
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: you for bringing that up, Scott. I want to preface.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: This is according to the interweb. I have no reason
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: to believe or disbelieve. This is just internet chatter, Blind Scott.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: So in the 1980s.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I got some.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Let me go. So 1980s St. Louis Cardinals.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: There was an outfielder named Tito Landrum, and there was
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: a second baseman named Tommy Herr.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And they traded wives.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Well, no, they didn't trade wives. Allegedly, there was an
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: affair between Tito Landrum and Tommy Herr's wife, and it
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: ended up fathering a child with her. And then Herr
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: was a part of a World Series team with the Cardinals.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: They traded them away mid-season to the Twins, and many
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: people believe that that actually happened.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it did. All right. Let me give one
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: for a second.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Gather your thoughts for a second. Linus, so this is recent.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Linus Allmark, the goalie for the Ottawa Senators, this just happened.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: He was sleeping with another player's wife, and it was open.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: That's the most recent one. It got so bad, he
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: had to leave the team.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: That's your opinion, not my opinion. You're going to say
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it's my opinion. You can't, you know.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: It's my opinion. Yeah, yeah. We have great Canada. Oh, Canada. Oh, Canada.

• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Sandberg back in the 80s also. A lot of stuff
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: happened in the 80s. There were rumors alleging that Rafael Palmeiro, again, rumor,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's true or not, I have
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: no way of confirming, had an affair with Sandberg's wife.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: When you were in the baseball locker room, did you
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: ever look at the guy's junk? You obviously could see it.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: I tried not to.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Did you ever notice really large junk that you would remember?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: There were some that were very.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You'll never forget it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It's traumatic. It's very traumatic. It's not looking, but there
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: was one player that was very good at stealing bases
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that many people were wondering how he was able to
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: steal bases.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: No one would want that. Thank God.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I guess so. All right. There was the infamous also
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson, Tony Braxton.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: There was a love triangle rumor. The Dallas Mavericks had

  Speaker 2: these three stud young players, Jim Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Jason Kidd. and they were nicknamed.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I know him from the Nets, Jason Kidd.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he played in Dallas before, and they were
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: known as the Three Jays. This was supposed to be
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the team in the NBA. Then you had this Grammy-winning
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: R & B singer, very popular at the time, named
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Tony Braxton, and the rumor was that Kidd and Jackson
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: supposedly both were enjoying Tony Braxton, and it created some
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: tension in the locker room... And then they dismantled the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: entire team. They got rid of, like, everybody was gone. Kid,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Jim Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, they were all gone. And the
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: most famous one of all, again, just an Internet rumor.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I have no way of confirming or denying it. denying, right?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Blind Scott, no way.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Billy Joel and Christina Brinkley, that guy was such a troll, man.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I'm going with Delonte West and the LeBron James mom.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Delonte West.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: That happened in Boston, supposedly, didn't that.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Happen in Boston?
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Me and Delonte West, we have the same mental illness.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: You can follow him kind of like you follow me.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: He ends up in different states of mind all over.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: He's got a lot of stuff he's got to work
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: himself through. Manny from LA writes in and says, Ben,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: do you think Diana Rossini will work again? Are you
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: going to hire her at FSR? No, I don't do
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the hiring, Manny. I don't do the hiring. I know
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Stu Gatz is friends with her. A lot of the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: guys are friends with Diana.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: They would hire her already.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: But she's waiting. I mean, I'm assuming she got paid
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: off by someone. That's what I'm guessing, allegedly.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, the story is Diana Rossini has, according to the tabloids,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: has hired a Hollywood crisis publicist to help have her reputation.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: He was in the North End all the time, Mike Vrabel.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Didn't know why he was here. He was probably meeting
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: her when she was covering the Patriots. I thought his
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: kid might have lived here. He was spotted in all
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: the restaurants here, you know?
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: So he's in six months. Listen, I don't know what's
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: going to happen, obviously, Manny, but she'll get a job.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Somebody will hire her. There's enough time.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: He loves the North End, Vrabel. He's Italian. He loves food.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: There's great restaurants there. It's an old, it's a wonderful place,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the North End. I like it. All right. Quang from
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam writes in. You know Quang,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Blind Scott? You friends with Quang? Yeah, yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: He has an alias and writes in every week.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I got you. He does, yes. He says, hey, Ben,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I noticed that the Google profile photo for the Fifth
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Hour Mail is William Shatner looking like he's about to
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: scream con at somebody. I know you and Shatner have
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: a little history, including the legendary social media beef podcast.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: that resulted in someone reportedly paying thousands of dollars. Yeah,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: they paid thousands of dollars to a horse charity in
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Burbank to have me unblocked. You've also told the story
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: about Shatner getting worked up while flying to a Star
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Trek convention in Germany. So what is the actual story
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: behind choosing this particular Shatner photo as the Google profile
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: picture for the fifth hour?
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: He's going pretty strong, Shatner.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the mid-90s.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I've never seen anybody that healthy.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if he's healthy, but he's doing okay.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: He's on radio still. He did a show the other day.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I heard him.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: They change the channel every time.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: All right. Anyway, Quang, I did not put that photo there.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: That was the work of Gagon. David Gagon.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: He wasn't a good husband, I don't think. I read
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: about him, you know. He's like a Neil Young type
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: of guy. Shatner, yeah.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, Ryan. Ryan writes in from Maine. He says,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: you got a lot of mail to get through, Scott.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And we've gone over.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: We've gone over.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I'm listening to a book about Maine right now.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: It's called Walter Arnold Maine Trapper. I'm obsessed with hunting
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: and fishing.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I want to know more about that guy that was
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: living in the woods in Maine for like 17, no, no,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: 27 years or something like that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: In the remote part of West Virginia.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the guy was off the grid. He just stole
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: stuff and.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my friends did that. Yeah, I mean, I'm doing
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: that pretty much right now.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Ryan from, I think, oh, Shrewsbury, maybe. I don't know.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I think he's from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. That's where St. John's
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Prep in Shrewsbury is.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: All right, calm down. I am not sure if you
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: guys have been following the hoopla from Chris Hansen. His
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: movie called– this movie called Primetime. Apparently Chris Hansen is– I.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Know all about it. It's to catch a predator, but
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: he's the predator in it, I think. I heard about it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't watch it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: That stuff triggers me because people troll me so hard
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: and call me awful names. I can't handle watching that stuff.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: All right, all right. Anyway, he says he did like
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: that he portrayed him. So this week's question is– Ben,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: if someone made a movie based on your work, In life,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: who do you think should play you, and what would
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the movie be called? That's from Ryan.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: And he's kind of, you are kind of doing a
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Chris Hansen thing in this part of your career, dude.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Like, you're not like, it's bad. It's him, but you
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: do have like a stick you're doing now. And it's
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: part of the people you're working with, but it's, it's
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: the format of the show.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, I, I guess, what are you talking about?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Like you have like, you have to do a monologue.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: So you have like a cadence that you do. So
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: when Chris hands, you may, so the show is based
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: on your personality. So Chris Hansen did a show based
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: on his personality and, his personality was he was catching predators,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: but here they made him out to be the predator.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: So as far as who would play me, I don't,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I don't really know the names of actors. Anyone I
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: know is old. I got Jeff Garland, the guy that
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: was on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Tom Arnold or the guy.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: That's old. He's even older. Probably Tom Arnold. I don't know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know these guys. I have no idea.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: But you're, you're more relative to the older generation. You've
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: been on the radio for so long. It's an older crowd,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Well, it's whoever listens. I mean, we have younger people.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Radio is not taking on a younger audience right now,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: which is worrying.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think radio is not retaining an audience, but
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: in Boston, radio is so strong, traffic is the worst traffic.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: There's more people listening to the radio than you think.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Kevin in Kansas writes in and says, Dear Ben and
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: famed guest, today while I was visiting Wichita, I happened
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: upon a large event called Woof Stock. All kinds of dogs, people,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: and vendors were there.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: That's an ETF. Stay away from that thing. Don't run
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: into that. Someone's managing that. Just stay away from it.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Do you ever take your dog to special events like this,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Kevin says, or have you considered a stroller event? For Moxie.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: We do have a Moxie stroller. We don't really take...
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: She doesn't want to go anywhere. She just wants to
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: lay on the sofa, and that's it. And so we
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: tried to take her out a little bit, and it
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: just was....
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Those French Bulldogs, they're man-made dogs. They really suck.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: It's an English Bulldog, but not a French Bulldog.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Well, they suck for those dogs because they were breeded
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Like people's pets. Yeah, Moxie's doing pretty well. She's living large.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Outback John and Joanna in SoCal, San Gabriel Valley, write in, says, hey,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Big Ben and special guest.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know them. I don't know these people.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Outback John runs an Outback Steakhouse.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I love Outback. I'm a big fan of the Outback.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: All right. And Joanna, I'm not sure what she does,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: but she's his lady friend there.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Can I say something about the Outback?
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You're going to say it anyway, but go ahead.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: So I swear.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: That during the opioid crisis, the Outback was just a cover.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Because everybody who worked at the Outback used to sell
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: me Oxycontins.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: You know, I actually must have.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: All right. I'm a survivor of the opioid crisis.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: You order a Bloomin' Onion, you get some Oxy with it.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Dr. Brown and Sandwich Massachusetts. Look it up.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: That's an allegation. I don't know what you're talking about.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: A friend of mine, that's his opinion.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Blind Scouts opinion. A friend of mine recently opened a
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: pack of football cards that had a card that just
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: sold for over $ 7, 000 on eBay. He pulled it from
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: a $ 30 blaster box that he bought off of Amazon.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: He wants to sell it, and I agree. His and
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: our question is, Have you ever had something of value
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: that you sold?
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: My dad just sold my grandmother's autograph to Phil on
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Route 1 in Saugus. That's sports world. He listens to
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: the show. He's a car dealer. His name is Phil.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Sell it to Phil. All right.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: No, he's at Route 1 in Saugus. All right.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Calm down. So, yeah, I've sold it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Joe Murray. Joe Murray will buy it.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I don't buy that stuff. I've sold a few things,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: but I've never, like, auctioned stuff off. And I have
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: a large collection of stuff I got, like some of
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: it's pretty valuable. I got a lot of it when
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I was doing baseball beat stuff. I was traveling and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I had access to a lot of the players and teams.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: And so I collected a lot of crap. I have
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of cards from when I was a kid.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I'm getting old. So those cards are old and they've
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: been sitting around. The problem is to make, to make
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: any money. You have to listen to this hustle, Scott.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: So blind Scott, there's this place. There's two play.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: There's a guy straight at Dan. He tried.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: He's a grown man that gets autographs and hangs around straight.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: No, I know there's people who do that, but, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: the thing is, So there's these two outfits. You have
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: to get the stuff. grade it. But you have to
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: pay money to have it graded.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: It's a scam. It's a scam, so you don't even
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: do it. You go around it. So, Ben, you can
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: sell your whole collection to somebody.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, but to get the big-time money, you have
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: to have it graded.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Because don't think it's there right now like it was
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: during COVID.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: People are still making money.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to say the guy's name, but someone
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: was really big on NFT.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was ridiculous. I mean, I knew that was...
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: That's the one I got.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Now he's baking on overnights on the weekends.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about. But I knew
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: that was not going to.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: But hey, what happened to Brie the Cheese Lady?
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: I thought you said you left the company.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brie left the company. She came back. She was

  Speaker 2: the name of the hurricane is.

  Speaker 4: That was the one that just burnt out when it
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: hit land.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: It's moving through the Smoky Mountains. It made me curious
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: as to what is the worst weather or natural disaster
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: you were in, blah, blah, blah. I, of course, remember
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Weed Man broadcasting from the Lifeguard Tower during the hurricane.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: But that was him in person, not you. Personally, my
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: worst was the remnants of Hurricane Helen two years ago
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: and many weeks of working in the disaster response, et cetera, here.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: That's... One time me and my dad got pulled out
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: in an undertow, like wicked far in the ocean, and
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: the Coast Guard had to pick me up.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: So that was probably the worst. We were swimming sideways.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I was in a terrible storm in Hawaii. The power
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: went out. I was at a Kmart years ago. They
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: had Kmart, and the power went out.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Did they lock you in? That's what happens. The store
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: locks you in.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I was in Buffalo leaving a Bills game, and there
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: was this... It wasn't like anything outside of the normal.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: It was a lake effect storm.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: And it was so bad. I was listening to you
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: sleeping in your car.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: I had to stop. Well, I slept in my car
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: in Buffalo outside the airport. But then on the way,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I also stopped. The traffic was so bad on that
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: New York Expressway or whatever it was called. I had
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: to stop on the road. I couldn't see.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: That was back when we used to have to wait
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: on hold to listen because Ben wasn't on in many markets.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: And we would drive the producer crazy.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. Alf from the End Zone writes in,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: He says, greetings, Ben, and special guests. Ben, do you
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: think that the Benny versus the Penny sponsors and NBC
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Sports were hesitant to back the show because they heard
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: rumblings that FSR was considering you and Looney to headline
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Endzone Radio on Sundays?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: No one's showing up at these casinos in Massachusetts and
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: gambling people invested. There's no money in the advertising right now.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Valley Casino is really hurting. The one that took over
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: the random dog track. That's why Penny versus Penny probably
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: didn't come to fruition this year because there was no
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: money in advertising for gambling. I see it on all
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: the sports radio shows.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: They still advertise, but I don't know. I guess that's
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: our Sunday NFL show. We did the Blitz with Looney
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: and me. We did the Blitz.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Right now, yeah.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you could easily have a gambling TV show in Boston.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know why they didn't put that on. They
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: could put it on at any time. People would watch it.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: They have time to fill on cable.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: All right, all right. Mike, yeah, there's not a lot
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: of programming on cable TV anymore. It's a lot of filler.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Mike from Wisconsin writes in and says, Ben, you're around
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: my age. Are you sad about the demise of Celeste Pizza? Yes,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: I saw. What happened?
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: How is it so pizza parts?
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently the main company has announced they stopped producing
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Celeste frozen pizzas. And they have been around for 60 years.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love them because they're tiny.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're tiny. The guy that the CEO of the
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: company says the company sees little financial future in smaller,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: unprofitable brands like Celeste. So they decided to eliminate it.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Remaining inventory will be sold until supplies run out. No
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: additional production is planned. Celeste made famous.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: It was good pizza. There wasn't much bread to it.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: That's what I liked about it.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Celeste Mama Lizio built a Chicago area food business
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: before selling it to Quaker Oats in 1969. And so
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: that's it. I didn't realize it was the cheapest pizza.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: My mom would make Celeste pizza when I was a kid.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: We had that for dinner sometimes.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: But when the.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Irish and Italian gang wars were happening in Boston, all
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: the Italians went to Chicago. So there's a lot of
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Bostonians that came to Boston first, and then they went
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: to Chicago, you know?
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, what else do we got?
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I got, uh, there's a bunch of these. I could
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: do this forever.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Uh, any Mike, the leprechaun.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I don't see any.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: I don't have enough of that.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I know you're jealous. You're jealous of the leprechaun.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: I know he didn't bring me into his group, his private.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Calm down. AJ from Arizona writes in, he says, Ben,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: we know you're team garlic. You see that women like
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: garlic body odor. Your thoughts?
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: I love garlic.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Garlic weed.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: They have garlic weed. Wonderful.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: JJ says garlic could make men more attractive. Researchers found
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: women rated the body odor of men who consume more.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Garlic as more pleasant.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you the study. He said that the catch,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: according to studies, garlic breath remains a romance killer.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: There's a thing that men are doing now where they
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: don't use deodorant and they're letting their hormones out.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Have you seen this? Like a guy does this in
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: my building.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: It's disgusting. It's called body odor. It's called body odor.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: They say eating colorful vegetables, including sweet potatoes and leafy greens,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: can suddenly improve skin tone.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I shave off. I do that. So I'm obsessed
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: with moisturizing and oils. I'm doing oils. I shave all
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: the body off, all the hair off my body.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I don't need to know that.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Michael Felger does that, too. He does the oils.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: That's your opinion. I don't know what you're talking about.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not getting sued by Michael Felger. Chili peppers contain
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: something that can produce... facial.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah so it's good for gut health yeah so i
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: do that i have wicked severe mental illness like wicked
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: severe i have extreme autism so i have tried to
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: get my gut health down so i do real extreme
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: all right all.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Right shut up a victor from socal right since it's
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: benny you believe people used to live on mars did
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: you see the doorway that went around the internet I
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: did see it. So a NASA photograph. This is from
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: a few years ago.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: It's a piece of trash probably that hit it. No, no.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: There's a NASA photograph. that has led to speculation that
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: it might have been somebody inhabiting the red planet.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Like Weed Man? Like Weed Man.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy identified he's a UFO hunter. He didn't
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: like drugs.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: Remember when Lisa goes, Weed Man, you did it to yourself.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't hear that. Anyway, he says he identified
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: what he believes is a miniature doorway measuring just seven
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: inches tall and five feet, five inches wide. Well, that's
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: not a doorway. Seven inches tall is not, like, what
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: are you talking about?
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: It was kind of weird. I don't even understand. And
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: now he's lost me. Okay.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: All right. Sorry. We've lost you. What's the victim? We've
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: lost you. Bob boo.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Nick from West Virginia writes in, he says, Hey Ben,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: you're talking about overnight work, shortening your life. Cause you're,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: you're not supposed to be up those hours. How about me?
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I live in West Virginia. I'm toast. And he said,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: there's a, according to the CDC, uh, The life tables,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: they say life expectancy in West Virginia is eight years lower.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: It's because of the DuPont company, I think, the water.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: Just like on Cape Cod, they tested all those WW2
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: things of water. People drank the water and got cancer.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: So Hawaii had the highest life expectancy at birth of
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: 80 years, West Virginia the lowest. At 72.2.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: I get these metabolic tables done because I'm on these medications.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: So you can actually see your genetic background. It's all
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: just based on genetics.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: You know, Ben, I didn't realize that your father had
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: gotten sepsis when he passed away.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: You let that go on the air recently. I didn't
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: know that. I feel bad when you said that because
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: it's like, It was a pretty random thing to just
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: get out of nowhere, you know? How did that happen?
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: He had an affection, and he didn't treat it, and
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: he got old.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: It's so sad, man. So I do understand the context
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: of what it happened.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Well, what happened was it was during the— my dad would
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: still be alive if it wasn't for the pandemic.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: He didn't have COVID, but the hospitals would not let
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: him show up. So if he had visited the doctor
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: and gotten some antibiotics. That's disturbing.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: I understand how that happened. You didn't say that till recently.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: You just let that go recently about that.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, It's been a few years, but anyway,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: on that note, thank you for feeling bad. I feel bad, too.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Scott, anything you want to promote here, the legendary?
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: No, I just don't want people reaching out to me
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: for the show and giving me a hard time, and
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: that's all.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: I hope everybody's healthy and takes care of themselves.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: All right. You take care of yourself, Scott. Stay out
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: of trouble, yes? Try not to get arrested.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you having me on.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, I will be in not all week.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: I'll be in four nights this week. I am not
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: in on Thursday into Friday. But I will be in
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: every other day. I have some stuff. I'll tell you
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: more about that later on. So we'll leave it there.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the football today. And bye-bye. I was thinking what
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Dave was saying.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Bye-bye.
