Hey party people, it's Ben Maynard here, and you're in for one heck of a Friday night extravaganza! Our latest episode is bursting at the seams with '80s nostalgia, from toe-tapping trivia to a drinking game that'll have you reaching for your neon leg warmers. I’m enduring the infamous Malort, all for your amusement, and together with my wingman Spaz, we're bringing the fun with no singing required. Trust me, there's no better way to kick off your weekend than with our quirky banter and a trip down memory lane.
We've cranked up the work-hard-play-hard meter this week, balancing a jam-packed schedule with the preparation of top-notch entertainment. Get ready for an exploration of the Foreigner catalog and a sneak peek at an imperial stout that tastes like an ice cream sundae—because adulting should always include dessert, right? You'll also get the inside scoop on how we keep it real with tastings, focusing on flavor adventures rather than overdoing it because, hey, we're connoisseurs, not party animals.
And the global family, you're in for a shout-out! From Saskatoon to Sydney, your love for our show has made this ride incredible. We've got Alex Villanueva's interview feedback, potential rock star guests on the horizon, and a motivational speaker's visit that's bound to inspire.

Speaker 1:Having a lot of fun doing these Friday night live shows. It's just a kick in the pants. There's nothing special about them, except that it's just you and it's me for an hour or so. We're just going to have some fun tonight. Well, as always, I'm going to be back. So if you call in, I'm going to take a shot, and I've got my Mr Spock shot glass right here, just like I said I would. It's been sitting here all week, hasn't been washed out, so whatever is left over from last week is still in the bottom of that shot glass, um, so again, the Malort is going to be back. We're going to do a little bit of 80s trivia. So if you call in and you get the answer right, you know it, it's time to drink. And then we're also going to do something a little bit new, a new segment Introduced.
Speaker 1:Uh, I have to credit, I have to credit my brother for not having a good time. He said he was crashed in the studio. He said we should do stump the chump. So who's the chump right here? Yes, right here, I'm the chump. So if you call in and stump me with some music trivia, then it's going to cost me.
Speaker 1:And Catherine, she says to me he says last week, why do you want to drink that nasty stuff? Why do you want to drink that Malort? I said it's a punishment. Hold on a second here, people. Let me do this real quick. Let's put the phone number up there. It is Call into the show, the numbers across the bottom of the screen. All right, so you can call in, starting now. Um, but she asks me. She says so why? Why do you want to drink that nasty stuff. And I said it's not that I want to do it. I said, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to get people to participate in Friday night live. So I don't know, I have no idea. Um, so how is everyone's week? I hope you've had a great week. It is Friday, we are live. It is the end of the week.
Speaker 1:I was trying to play this song. Um, I think I may have mentioned it before, but I was telling you that I wanted to do it. I wanted to do it. I wanted to put it in my library, here on my video service and then play it at the beginning and even the end of the show. So, unfortunately, because it's not my music, I it's copyrighted and won't allow me to do it. So I'm trying to find some kind of music that sort of sounds like it. But I can always sing it, right, I don't think any of you want me to sing it, but I can always sing it and it's just such a cool song.
Speaker 1:It's apropos for night. You know, friday night, friday night, I just got paid. No sleep till Monday. Friday night, friday night, who cares? It's only money. You know stuff like that. Yes, all right. So, oh, hey, we got a call coming in. Hey, hey, wait, hold on a second. What's happening, dude? How much don't sing? Oh, and for everybody, everybody watching. If you can't tell by the sound of that voice that is my wingman and regular show contributor, that's Spaz. What's going on, dude? That voice that is my wingman and regular show contributor oh, I'm hearing myself echoing. Are you watching me on YouTube?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm watching you on YouTube.
Speaker 1:All right. How's everything going?
Speaker 3:Going well. You are like a second or two behind.
Speaker 1:Well, it is on your side, you're coming in, just fine.
Speaker 3:But there is gonna be-. So what you're gonna do with the Ben Boehner program is just the way it is huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's just a little bit of a delay. So how was your week? How was your week at work?
Speaker 3:A very long week.
Speaker 1:Oh really.
Speaker 3:But as long as I don't have to sing, it's Friday. I don't feel good.
Speaker 1:Hey, did you know that song from Loverboy?
Speaker 3:At least people aren't booing you yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it can't hurt me, that's all right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I do know that song from Loverboy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good one too. I like that one.
Speaker 3:Like I said, let the professionals handle that.
Speaker 1:Hey, I'm a singer of songs come on. Hey, so how did softball go last night?
Speaker 3:I'm sorry repeat that.
Speaker 1:I asked you how softball went last night.
Speaker 3:I didn't play last night.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:We were, we had a buy.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we had two buys in a row, so we should be playing again next week.
Speaker 1:Oh okay. Well, time to work on your swing, that's for sure. Well now, maybe instead of hitting into a double play, you know you can get one over the I shouldn't hit my dreams.
Speaker 3:I haven't had a chance.
Speaker 1:Go ahead. You're hearing me on delay. That's what it is. Instead of listening to me on the phone, you're hearing me on delay.
Speaker 3:Nevertheless, I thought I'd say hello. I hope you had a good week as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a week was pretty good. It was all right, man, and you know this is just a good way to wrap it up, just having a little bit of fun, and I'm gonna try to get in another show tomorrow, just depends. You know, I've gotta get this foreigner show put together, brother.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we have to get to do another show whenever you're.
Speaker 1:Well, what I tell you? What? Let's you and I do the foreigner show together. Okay, and we'll start at the beginning, you know, and go through their catalog and talk about all of our experiences with foreigner and go through all that stuff. We'll do a whole show on foreigner, you and I. How's that?
Speaker 3:Well, you don't have to sing for the group. Tell us and you're good.
Speaker 1:No singing. Hey, that band broke up 40 years ago.
Speaker 3:So then the regular listening to it kept skipping.
Speaker 1:That's right, so maybe we do it next week you wanna do it next week?
Speaker 3:Maybe talk to the boss. Put the ball in the chain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, just get back to me and then we'll get it going okay.
Speaker 3:I just I'm gonna let you go because you have a show to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I just wanted.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna watch it. Be choked. I will call you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hey, tell everybody to call in, all right, oh, hey, listen, it's right down the show. I've got the shot lined up right here for you, okay.
Speaker 3:There should be some video rights out there. That should be a check in in 1983. You shouldn't be drinking that. That's bad for you.
Speaker 1:Well, it's part of the deal People call in. I gotta take a shot.
Speaker 3:so For me, you don't have to.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're giving me a break.
Speaker 3:Well, give it to Catherine.
Speaker 1:She won't touch this stuff. Are you kidding?
Speaker 3:me, I don't even have my shot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right. Well, talk to the boss and get back to me and we'll see if we can get it done next week. I wanna get this done while the foreigner's still hot.
Speaker 3:All right, I'm gonna let you go, man, because you gotta do your show All right, brother.
Speaker 1:Thanks, I'll talk to you later, okay.
Speaker 3:Sounds good, I'll see you later.
Speaker 1:Love you, dude. All right, see you bye. Hey, that was spaz. Yes, it was. That's great, that's great. Oh yeah. Well, this is for you, spaz. I'm sorry, a deal is a deal. Okay, I know you said I could take a pass, but a deal is a deal. And I put a bean-boozled bean in there. I don't know what flavor it is, I'll find out. All right, here we go. Oh, that's, that's bad. The bean stuck to the bottom of the shot glass oh, that's pretty bad stuff. Terrible. Uh, oh, Well, that's all right.
Speaker 1:Listen, so, uh, yeah, I've been in a show put together, but with you know, being being back at work, it's uh gosh, it's tough and I I don't know if I shared with there, I think I told everybody I mean, I'm putting in 5560 hours a week and so it's just tough to to have any extra time to to start writing a show and and putting it all together. But, um, we're gonna get it done and and and I'm I'm gonna be back and I think it'll be a good exchange between the two of us. Um, just to kind of go through the foreigner catalog and and, like I had said to him, talk about our experiences with foreigner and um, you know, just share that with you guys. I think it'll be cool. We haven't done one like this. Well, I mean, we've done the journey shows. We did the show with the money's um and spas. You know he's, he's a good contributor, he comes with some, he always comes prepared, let's put it that way. I mean he, he just he brings his material, so so it's good and it kind of takes a little bit of load off of me too, but, um, yeah, we'll get it done, see, if we can get that one done next week for you. It doesn't mean we'll cut out on Friday Night Live, we'll see, maybe, but I'll let you know. I don't know. Uh, twenty-four hours, well, I don't know that today it wasn't. I think I let everybody know about. I gave you all about seven or eight hours notice, but, um, anyway. So look, we're having a good time, right?
Speaker 1:Ooh, I gotta get some of that nasty malort taste out of my mouth. It just the bad, the bad thing about the malort. It just it just like sits there on your tongue. You can't get rid of it. It, I don't know what it is, it's just so nasty. Whatever, oh man, but yes, back to work. Cuts into my show time, cuts into my time to to do show prep, whatever, uh, oh, wait, hang on here, let's get to got some comments.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna be there, debbie. Debbie, I see you there. When are you going to do another stout tasting? I don't know. Well, we'll figure something out. Are you talking about on the show? We weren't doing a stout tasting on the show last week. If that's what you're referring to, that was Catherine and Jim busting in the studio.
Speaker 1:They, I don't know, somehow they think that that Friday Night Live is like a drunk show, and it's not. I'm not trying to get drunk, okay, the malort challenge is just to entice people to, to call in and to participate. So that's what it's all about. It's not trying to get tanked up. Trust me, I don't want to get tanked, especially on malort. Who wants that? But, um, yeah, so we'll see. I, I know that. Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm hour or so and my brother's my brother's here. He's downstairs with Catherine again. Um, he brought over some more imperial stout from the brewery. Thanks, guys at the brewery, always good guys there. Um, what did he bring over? He brought over Sunday, sunday, so it's supposed to taste kind of like an ice cream Sunday, on Sunday. Um, so he brought it over just so that we could crack open the bottle and taste. And uh, thanks, debbie, I'm glad that I could be a little um, comedy relief for you. That's, that's my job here. Okay, um and and um. So he wanted to try it, so we cracked it open and it was pretty good. Um, the one last week that we had that was the blueberry stack. Thanks, fast.
Speaker 1:Spaz is telling me we drink too much on this show. Uh, you know I can't help it, um, but I know you. Before I continue, debbie, I'm sorry, but yeah, you would really think that that were just a bunch of drunkards and that, I mean, that is like the earliest from the truth. We hardly drink and when we drink, we don't drink that much, we really honestly don't, and it was hard to convince anybody to believe that, but it is the truth. I promise we, and we don't, we, we don't drink to, you know, get drunk. It's nothing like that, nothing like that at all, because then it takes away from the experience of, of, uh, enjoying what it is that you're, that you're tasting, so, and that's really what we just do, we just do tastings. Uh, we've done a tequila tasting. We did that, um, we did that last year. We had a tequila tasting here. We had, um, a martini tasting and, oh, got another phone call. Hold on, let's see. Hold on. Hello, what's up?
Speaker 2:Okay, I want to do stump the chump.
Speaker 1:Oh gosh, okay, stump the chump. No spaz, I'm not a lush, this is my brother. Stump the chump, okay, alright, what? Alright, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Okay, what song from the 1975 self titled album Ten Nuggets created a bit of an uproar with feminist I am going to if you know that I'm going to freak out.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say stranglehold. See, so you didn't stump this chump.
Speaker 2:Alright.
Speaker 3:Alright, get out of here. See ya Uh huh.
Speaker 1:So, anyway, debbie, um, yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure when we'll, when we'll do another, uh, another tasting. I actually, you know, what I was thinking about doing is, uh, we'll, we'll do another tasting on the on the program. Um, don't know if it'll be a stout tasting, since we've done that, I think we'll, um, maybe do a tequila tasting. Yes, we have done it as family and friends, but we haven't done one on the show and, and I am a tequila guy. So, um, it'd be, it'd be kind of cool to just introduce the audience to, uh, to some different tequilas and kind of go through it, just like we have with the stouts, that kind of thing. So we'll see if we can have some fun with that Coming up here, um, you know, in the near future. But, uh, oh, barbecue, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1:Ah, so, um, back to work. You know, I have this thing, I have this, I have this thing. It's, I guess it's my own hang up about work ethic. And where I work, um, there's, there's a lot of younger guys and for those of you who don't know, I mean most of you know, um in the audience here, because my audience isn't super huge, but most of you know, I'm 58 years old Okay, I'll be 59 in August and I've been in my line of work. I've been in in my, which is the food service business. I've been in my line of work.
Speaker 1:Um, let me see, coming up on the 10th of this month, march will be 38 years. So I've done a lot and um it just I don't know. I don't know if it's a generational thing or not, but I know it can be taught. And I have a thing about work ethic and I just believe that, no matter what your job is, it's your responsibility to show up every day and do it. And I just have a problem with some of the guys that I work with and most of them are, are younger probably.
Speaker 1:Um, well, some of them I, I hate to admit, I'm old enough to be their father, but, um, I don't know where it comes from they they have, they have like no work ethic. And I think it's so important to have that because when you, when you have a good work ethic, when you are willing to show up every day to work, and you show up sick I was telling somebody today you go to work sick and you call in sick when you feel good, you use your sick days. I'm I'm getting capped on for those who can't. I don't know if you can see the comments, but I'm getting beat up on over here. Thanks, spaz, but but uh, you have a responsibility to show up and and and yes, you show up when you're sick and use your sick days for when you feel good. You can enjoy those days.
Speaker 1:It's kind of just the opposite a little bit. But, um, yeah, I, I don't know, I, I I have a feeling and I I may have mentioned this before, but but if you go way back to the bro show, uh, where Jim and Chuck and I, we were talking about our dad, and you know all all the issues we had and I won't rehash all that. But for all the issues that our dad had, the one thing he had was a strong work ethic and and, like I said, I don't know if it's a generational thing or not, but and I don't know if it's because he owned his own business, but he showed up every day, six days a week, sometimes seven, opening his own shop at five thirty in the morning, six o'clock in the morning, and I guess it was just ingrained in me. You know you just you show up, you have a responsibility and it doesn't matter what your job is. I said it before that if you pick up dog crap for a living, be the best at it, take pride in it, be the best at it.
Speaker 1:It doesn't matter what you do for a living, but be the best at it and have a great work ethic and it can be taught. It's not something that that you, you get through. Uh, it's, it's not a hereditary thing, let's put it that way. You don't get it. You know, it's not passed down from generation to generation. I think it can be taught. Um, sometimes work environment helps to create that, but I think sometimes family can help create that. But everything starts within. Here, starts with yourself, and I don't know. I don't want to be preachy about work ethic, but you just show up when it's your, when it's when you've got a job to do. It's your responsibility. You show up and you know that's it, I guess.
Speaker 1:I don't know why I went off on that tangent about work ethic. I guess it was just top of mind, but I don't know. There was something else I wanted to touch on and I forgot what it is because I was ranting about work ethic. So the one thing I hope we get tonight is a phone call from somebody who hasn't called into this program before and is kind of new to this and wants to participate. I gosh, I certainly hope so. That would be great. Oh, I do know what I wanted to touch on. Hold on a second here. Hold on as I move my water out of the way and move my box of nasty bean-boozled beans out of the way. I got to look something up here. This is great. This is great.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to do a state of the podcast, not yet. I'll give it another month or so before we do another one of those. But what I thought was really cool and let me get it here Catherine pointed it out to me and she pointed it out to me the other day Let me see. Let's see Just further down, more download. I'm looking at some stats on the audio, on the audio version of the podcast. So on Buzzsprout, apple Podcast, amazon Music, spotify, all that stuff. Let me see when is it, where'd it go? Shoot, where's the location? There it is.
Speaker 1:So I've said before that this show is worldwide and we actually have someone who has someone. I'm not going to say they're a regular listener, but we are on six of the seven continents worldwide. Yeah, I think that's pretty cool. I think that's really really cool. So we're in North America. We just picked up, I think, two listeners it could be the same person In Brazil. So we're in South America, we're in Europe, we're in Asia, we're in Australia. And let me look at here all episodes Bam, and the new one we picked up was in Africa. I just think that is so cool. I think that is so cool. But Catherine pointed out to me I think we just have one listener in Canada, because they're all coming from Saskatoon, saskatchewan, all the listeners. So I'm assuming it's the same person. They've heard every episode. I think that's great, that is so awesome.
Speaker 1:And to you out there in Saskatoon, saskatchewan, I say thank you very much for listening to this program, listening to every single one of them, unless you've listened to one, 30, whatever many times, but I think it's the same person who's listened to every single episode. So again, I'm reading the comments. Thanks, baz. Tell me I should speak Spanish so I can get the Mexican audience. Yeah, I don't think we're in Central America, but we are on six of the seven continents and the only continent that we have no listeners and it's no shock is Antarctica. So that blows me away. That just blows me away. I think that's so cool and I'm very humbled by it.
Speaker 1:Thank you very much to everybody out there who listens or who watches this program, whether it's nationwide or worldwide. It's so cool and I don't care if there's 100 views on an episode or 1,000 views, and I'll be honest and everybody can just look through my library I don't have 1,000 views on any episode. But I'll say this that my interview with Alex Villanueva is the biggest show. It's the biggest, it's the most viewed episode so far. So thank you to everybody who has seen that. I think there was some good information. I think there was some great information there and it was pretty eye-opening. But I have to thank my good friend Troy Silva and his wife Debbie Silva. They were instrumental in getting some eyes on that show. But yeah, so back to the stats.
Speaker 1:I just think it's really cool, and I'll say this too that is with almost no participation from my family at all, almost none. So I giggle because I've said that. I've said before that you know I've tried to grow the audience and I try to grow my listenership. But how can I expect anyone else to watch this podcast or listen to this podcast if I can't get my own family to do it? My own mother doesn't do that, you know. But you know she just says to me, she says I just I'm not into that music stuff. Okay, mom, thanks, whatever. You know, mom's supposed to be like my biggest cheerleader, right, yeah, so I'm just waiting for someone to call so that you know this mallort here will go down the hatch.
Speaker 1:Oh, where did my? Oh, here's my, let's see, here's my 80s trivia. So I'm going to throw this question out. God, I was researching some stuff here. Oh, it's like the easiest stuff. The easiest. If you don't know the answers to these questions, something is wrong. I was looking at it, I was going there's. I mean, how can I even possibly ask these questions? I can ask six or seven of them and if somebody get you know, they all get answered correctly. I'll be on the floor before the end of the program. That's how easy these are. Okay, so I'm going to pick. All right, I'm going to pick this one. This one is probably scale one to 10, 10 being the hardest. This one's probably a six. So first person to call in and answer yeah, right here, nasty Malort got to take it All right. Here's the question which popular toy line featuring small collectible figures was introduced in 1982? All right, I'm not going to sit here and silence and wait.
Speaker 3:Hurry up.
Speaker 1:Okay, and I suppose no, no, no, you got to call in. You have to call in. No, you can't give the answer or you can't leave the answer in the comments. You have to call in. Oh, let me think so. Upcoming guests. I think it was two, three days ago. I reached out. I reached out to Bruce Kulick, formerly of KISS, so I'm hoping to hear back from someone Today. This afternoon I called the management group for Uriah Heap inquiring about Mick Box. As I mentioned, I'm trying to get these two guys on the show. They would be fabulous on the program. So I reached out to the management and, yeah, just hoping, I hope, and I hear back soon. And then, oh, and thank you Catherine, there's a.
Speaker 1:There's a woman that works out at her gym, where where she goes every morning. Let me open this back up, sorry, all right, and she's a motivational speaker and she's written a book. It's a bestseller. Now, I'm not going to get into the book, I'm not going to get into her name, but she's going to be coming on the program, she's going to come in studio, but she wants me to read the book first. Not that I have an aversion to reading, because I love reading. Well, you can't see them too much in this screen here, but I think most, most of the time, you can see a bunch of books on the shelf here, and that's only. That's only the rock and roll autobiographies, and that's that. That's not the other ones. They're out in my loft on the bookshelves. So I do love to read, but work just takes so much time away that it's very difficult. But so she wants me to read the books. I think what I might do is is download the audio version of it, get it knocked out and then get her on the show. I think it'll be a ton of fun and, yeah, so I'm looking forward to that. So maybe in the next, maybe in the next couple of weeks, we'll get that done and I'll let you know. I'll keep you up to date.
Speaker 1:No one has called in with the answer to the question. Come on, here's your 80s trivia question. Which popular toy line featuring small collectible figures was introduced in 1982? Okay, I know there are enough people viewing to answer. Okay, I know there are, because I see, I can see with my own eyes and you probably can see it yourselves. So somebody can call the show.

You got a little how do I say to? Got a little too I don't want to say poppy, but maybe a little too dancey. You know he started getting into some of the, the boy bands and that kind of stuff and I don't know but, but that that 70s and and and early to mid 80s stuff, that is just, that's my wheelhouse, because earlier you were saying where do we go now?

And when we get to like 13 or something like that, think of Friday the 13th. Right, how many, how many, how many of those did they have? Oh my gosh. But yeah, they were just. So I Don't.
Speaker 1:After a while I think it just got ridiculous. And I don't know who anybody out there is familiar with the Friday the 13th movies, but For me I think the first three Were Were really, really good. The first three were good, even though the third one was in 3d. Just watch it, not in 3d. But oh, thank you, debbie, thank you, she said I got it right. But uh, yeah, after a while they just got a little bit ridiculous. But it was even Friday the 13th, part 9, which I had to watch that one just because my my radio heroes, mark and Brian, were in that one. They got killed by Jason, so I had to. I had to see that one.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, yeah, at some point the Friday the 13th movies got a little bit ridiculous, I don't know, but even, but even so did the the Halloween movies? Uh, let me see, uh, the Jefferson airplane song, but I don't know. The one one, jeff. Well, what Jefferson airplane song? What are we talking about, debbie? There was a 10th, friday the 13th, yeah, but I think there was another one too spass, spass Is is in the comments there. I think number 10 was when Jason goes to outer space, or something like that. I, I don't know, I don't remember. I stopped watching him after like six, but, uh, even the Halloween movies got ridiculous and Halloween was like it. That was it when we were, when we were kids, when we were in high school. Oh, yeah, michael Myers, that was our guy, and, uh, we go see those movies, and uh, but I think I mean that was the first one, which was that one's just an all-time classic. And then there was Halloween 2 and, oh, yes, hold on hold, on hold. The, the Halloween thought.
Speaker 1:One pill, uh, makes you larger, another makes you small, yes, but the one that mother gives you doesn't do anything at all.

Okay, let me say this, though when it comes okay, when it comes to, when it comes to music, and it comes. So, when it comes to a lot of those artists in the late 60s and early 70s, when they were writing their songs, they were saying, um, they would say, oh god, now I'm trying to think, uh, um, you know, foreigner got some crap for this, and it's funny, I bring up foreigner because because I'm gonna do a foreigner show coming up here, maybe next week with spas, but but, um, they would get, they would get crap. Oh, oh, uh, they would say they would use words in the lyrics like child or baby or things along those lines, and, and foreigner used the word child, uh, in hot blooded. And it was like People, they got criticized because they're, you know, people would say, oh, they're talking about young girls and this and that, and underage girls and all that.
Speaker 1:No, and it doesn't mean that stuff, it doesn't necessarily mean they're talking about underaged girls. When these artists were doing that now, and but times were a lot different too, and we're so friggin sensitive as a, as a, as a society. Now we get bent out of shape over the dumbest things. Um, these are just songs, you know. Some of this stuff is just absolutely so silly.
Speaker 2:You don't have to tell me that yeah, anyway, all right.
