And we're going to have the Malort Challenge. And for those of you who might be new to the program, this bottle that sits right here on the table, this is Malort, the worst tasting liquor out there. All right, so if you call in and the phone number at 909-268-5135. For those listening it scrolls along the bottom of the screen. So if you call in, then I have to take a shot of this delicious and I say that ever so lovingly delicious Malort in this dusty Mr Spock shot glass with the bean boozled bean, which I think it's a hot one based on the color stuck in the bottom. Oh there, it loosened itself. Been sitting here right here on the table in studio for the last week. That glass has been sitting here for months. Sometimes it gets used and sometimes it doesn't. So whatever ends up in that glass ends up in my gullet. So that's the Malort Challenge. We'll play Stump the Chump If anybody calls in with music trivia, and you stump me again got to take a drink of this beautiful stuff right here. So that's kind of where we are right now.
Speaker 1:I do have I do have a special announcement that I want to make and I'm going to save that for later on in the show and for those of you who know, you know, for those of you who don't, that's what's called a tease. Ok, so you have to stick around for the special announcement and I promise you it really is special and not only that, but it's very, very important, and it is. It does have something to do with this, with this podcast, okay, so you're going to want to stick around, you're going to want to listen to the announcement, and that'll be coming up in a little bit. And, like always, I don't know how long we're going to go tonight. It just depends. If I have something to talk about, we're going to talk about it. If I don't talk about, we're going to talk about it. If I don't, then you and I are both out of here. So we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 1:All right, but before I get into anything, let's take care of some business. Okay, let's see here. Let's just start with some celebrity birthdays. Okay, Today is what? Today's February 28th. All right, and let me double check and make sure I got the right date here. Yeah, I think I got the right day right here. I don't know how you wouldn't.
Speaker 1:But celebrity birthdays. Now I'm looking at a whole bunch of them on the screen here and I'm like, okay, yeah, they're not getting any run on this show, and I'll explain why in a minute. But the first one, luka, I think it's Donchik. He's an NBA player. As a matter of fact, he was with the Dallas Mavericks and just I don't know two, three weeks ago, was traded to the Lakers. So that's actually how I know that name. I think it is Donchik. Anyway, luka is 26 years old and let's see actor Jonathan Davis. He's 25 today. He's 25 today and everyone knows this name Jason Aldean. Jason is 48 years old. So I'm liking that. That's great, digging that stuff. There's other names on here, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Roblox star, reality star, youtube star, tiktok star. You're not getting any run on this podcast. It's not happening, okay, and no, it's not. I don't care how much this program blows up, I'm never going to be a YouTube star. This is not going to happen, okay. I'm never going to be, oh, podcasting star. That's just dumb. So for them to know that, no, forget it. Sorry, I'm looking at the. I'm looking at my iPad right here. Sorry, you're not getting any run on this on this podcast. It's just not happening. So that's it for our celebrity birthdays, whatever. We had three, sorry, gang.
Speaker 1:So let's move on. Uh, what else we have? What else do we have come on here? Ah, today, I I love there. There's a website. It's called days of the year. I subscribe to it, so I get the emails once a week and it gives me what all the national holidays are for each day of the year. I subscribe to it, so I get the emails once a week and it gives me what all the national holidays are for each day of the week.
Speaker 1:So today is National Tooth Fairy Day, hmm. So have you heard of the little visitor that brings treats to kids when they sleep? Wouldn't that be creepy, having a stranger come into your home while you're asleep? Who else does anything like that? I'll give you a minute. It's fun. Yeah, when we were all kids, we loved. We loved losing our teeth, right? You take your tooth, you put it under your pillow. You wake up in the morning and there's like I don't know, a quarter or 50 cents under the pillow. It's like where'd this come from? It's awesome, it's awesome. So today's National Tooth Fairy Day Also. Love it. Also, today is National Chocolate Souffle Day. Hey, catherine, today's National Chocolate Souffle Day. Can I get one of those before the show's over From our kitchen, kitty? Oh, okay, so, oh, chocolate souffle. Love that stuff, love that stuff. Yeah, so, all right.
Speaker 1:And you know, let's see Significant events that happened on this day. Let's see. Oh, actually, let's go from old to more current. Here we go. On this day in 1906, american gangster Bugsy Siegel was born in Brooklyn, new York. In 1922, egypt was declared an independent country and I think most people in the audience will recognize this name. But basketball coach, actually, more specifically, collegiate basketball coach, dean Smith. He was one of the most successful basketball coaches in NCAA history. He was born in Kansas this day in 1931. Yeah, okay, let's see what else we have here. Oh, on this day, I do remember this. I do remember this On this day in 1983, the final episode of the incredibly popular TV show MASH aired on television and at the time, and actually for many, many years, it was one of the most highly viewed television shows of all time.
Speaker 1:They say it was at the time it was viewed by like 106 million people. That's incredible. Yeah, that's just. And you know what's weird is I don't want to say it was before my time, because the show I think the show aired from 1972, 1973, somewhere around there. So it ran ran for about 10 or 11 seasons. Um, now, maybe I was a little bit young to take it in when it first started, maybe the first few seasons, but as I got older I watched a lot of television and that was a show I never watched, and I don't know why. Don't know why, because shows around that time and on that network as well, I watched All in the family, and and and the Jeffersons and good times, and so they were all in the CBS network and I watched those shows but for some reason I didn't take in mash. I don't know why, but it was an immensely popular show. It was always, I remember seeing or hearing about like the TV top 10 each week and it was always like in the top two or three, week in and week out for its entire run. So just an incredibly popular show. Let's see what else.
Speaker 1:In 1991, the Persian Gulf War that was triggered by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and it ended as Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein accepted a ceasefire agreement. That was in 1991. On this day Hmm, last, yeah, last one. On this day Pope Benedict the 16th Became the first Pope to resign since Gregory the seventh in 1415. I remember Pope Benedict um cause I believe he was see 2013. Yeah, I think he was the first one to take over after Pope John Paul II, I think so. I know he wasn't Pope for an incredible amount of time and Pope John Paul II. He was Pope forever, but I do remember Pope Benedict and I don't remember him resigning, but then again, it was, you know, 15 years ago or no, I'm sorry, 12 years ago, so who knows, but that's, that's what's going on this day in history and that's kind of that's kind of it there.
Speaker 1:So I was off work today, which was great. I loved it, and, um, I had something special happen this morning. It was, it was so cool, so so cool. As you, as you all know, um, I'm good buddies with a gentleman named Larry Reedy and he does a podcast out of Batesville, indiana. Larry's 86 years old, he's a veteran, he's a great patriot, he's a great Christian man and he's got this podcast that he's. I think he's been doing it for about two and a half years or so, almost three years, and, if you're not aware, he was on the program back in November of last year when I did the Veterans Day weekend celebration. Larry was one of my guests and he was wonderful, wonderful. So this morning I was a guest for the first time ever on any podcast. So I was on his podcast this morning and we had a good time.
Speaker 1:Let me spell that name for you it's L-A-R-R-Y, r-e-i-d-y Okay, that's how you spell Reedy and his podcast is called Larry Reedy's America. You can just look it up. It's available on all of the streaming platforms, just like this one right here, so you can look it up. He's got a ton of episodes just covering a ton of different stuff. He'll do this day in history. He'll talk about past presidents and give histories on them. Actually, he does a series on whiskey and beer tastings. They do tastings on different kinds of foods from various restaurants in the area. He has people from the community coming in and talking about things that they do organizations they're with. He just does a whole lot of different things and so it's yeah, it's just a. It's just a potpourri of all kinds of stuff and he is a great guy.
Speaker 1:So I think I mentioned last week that three, four weeks ago he had texted me and asked me to send him a top 10 list of songs and a top 10 list of movies you know my top 10 on each category and he did a couple of episodes and he actually read my list of each one on the various episodes and it was fun. I listened to those with the group of guys that he had and everybody had their own list and some of my stuff ended up on some of the other lists. It was just, it was good stuff all around. So then Larry asked me to come on his show and we were going to talk about music. You want to talk music? Ok, let's talk about music, about music. You want to talk music? Okay, let's talk about music.
Speaker 1:So we did and I'll say this we had a ball, but we didn't just talk about music. Honestly, we went for about two hours and larry is just like me, he doesn't edit anything, so he's not editing any of that stuff out. So you know, it was a great conversation, it was good stuff. We talked about a whole bunch of things. I've never outside of the high school newspaper when I was a senior and got interviewed by the sports columnist. I've never been interviewed by anyone, you know, and I don't count going on a job interview necessarily an interview. You know what I'm talking about. So, um, yeah, it was, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. We had some, like I said, some good conversation, just back and forth stuff, and Larry's a great guy and him and I have really become friends since he was on the podcast back in November and we'll just call each other, text each other from time to time.
Speaker 1:And what was really neat even though it was kind of like an interview, it was more of a conversation. But what was really neat, even though it was, it was kind of like an interview, it was, it was more of a conversation. But. But what was so funny is that our, our conversation today, this morning, was no different than any conversation that we've previously had on the phone. We just talk, we just talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. And that's the one thing that you have to be able to do in order to do something like this talk on the radio or have a podcast, that kind of thing is you have to be able to talk, and Larry and I are cut from the same cloth, so that was a lot of fun, good stuff.
Speaker 1:So check it out. It's going to publish, he'll publish it and it'll be out on Sunday. So this coming Sunday what's that? March 2nd will be the day it's available, so you can go out and listen to it. Remember, it's Larry Reedy's America and he also has a website, larryreedynet. So, uh, just go check it out. It's, it's fun stuff, it's good and, and Larry's a great guy, and I already told Catherine, I told Larry, larry was like hey, come on out whenever you want. And I told Catherine, I said we're going out to see Larry, we're gonna go out and see Larry, we're gonna go hang out in Batesville for a little while. Maybe Larry will put us up in his 40 acre spread for a couple of days, but that would be a kick in the pants. So good stuff, check it out, check it out, check it out. Larry's a great guy and he puts together a really, really good podcast.
Speaker 1:So then earlier this week I think you guys all know that I'm a fan, of course and uh, there's uh somebody, one of the one of the fans put together a Facebook page timeout for a second while I take a drink, okay. So one of the fans put together a facebook page called fans of eddie trunk or fans of trunk nation, that's what it is fans of trunk nation. And so I'm a member of that page and I look at the postings from time to time and, um, sometimes I'll comment, sometimes I'll just something, sometimes I just scroll right on by, kind of talking about some of the things, some of the topics that Eddie likes to cover during the week, but bringing kind of a recap element to it, that sort of thing. What do you guys think? Does anybody on here think that's interesting or whatever it might be? And so I just simply commented to him. I said, hey, if you're interested in a partner, send me a message. So he messaged me and long story short, we talked last night. Guy's name is Shannon and, coincidence or not, he's from Indiana as well, not from Batesville, but he's from Indiana. So he called me last night and we talked oh my gosh, we talked like an hour and a half. What's up with all these talkers? I guess it's a good thing, though Must be something in the water in Indiana. But it's a good thing, though Must be something in the water in Indiana, but it's a good thing.
Speaker 1:If you're going to do a podcast, you're going to have to be able to talk and you're going to have to tell a story as well. You're going to have to be able to to tell. Tell stories, that will, you know, keep the listener listening. And so we just talked about a lot of cool stuff music, wise things like that and I'll let you know where it goes on that. So there might be a second podcast coming, um, not a solo, uh, not a solo job. We'll see where that goes. Shannon and I we're going to get together in the next couple of weeks and and talk some things out. We'll do some, cause he wants to do a video component to it as well, just like this one here, and um, so we'll do some, some testing, maybe a test show or two, and kind of see how it works out. And yeah, it's all good, it's all good. So I'm crossing my fingers because I I think it'd be tremendous, I really do, and I look forward to it. So, and and like I said first off, you're not going to talk to somebody for an hour and a half on the phone and not feel like you have some commonality, okay, um, just not going to happen that that conversation lasts 10 minutes tops, okay, so it was, it was good, good stuff. Shannon seems like a really, really cool guy, Um, and, and I look forward to it. So I will keep you all informed as things progress, all right.
Speaker 1:So the reason why I got started late tonight is, as I told you, I was off work and so I was off today, did Larry's show, and then I was just relaxing, just doing a whole bunch of nothing. Uh, because I've got a nice, nice work schedule next week and I'll take take advantage of a couple of days off to to catch up on some stuff around the house. So I thought you know what? No man, I I'm not doing anything today. And then, of course, tomorrow. If you were with me last week, tomorrow I'm the best man in Darren and Rebecca's wedding, so that's going to be fun, looking forward to that. But so I'm just kicking back, just doing nothing.
Speaker 1:Catherine's working, and I was just sitting with her in the living room while she's pounding away on her keyboard and getting things done. And then, about two or two 30, she says oh, uh, we got to go out to Best Buy in San Bernardino. Now, of course, not everybody that watches or listens to this show knows where San Bernardino is. You don't even know where Chino Hills is, but San Bernardino is about 40 miles. Yeah, it's probably about 40 miles east of here, and so, yeah, traffic in Southern California sucks all the way around. And so she says, yeah, we got to go out there, we got to go, I got to go check some stuff out.
Speaker 1:Best Buy is a client of her companies, and so she heads up a program and kind of oversees Best Buys, and so it's like 3.15 and we're driving out there and it took us nearly two hours to get there, and that was a lot of driving in the carpool lane too. So it just, oh, it sucked, and by this time it was nearly five o'clock our time when we got there and we both decided no, when we're done here, we're gonna go a couple doors down to get some dinner, because I don't wanna be hangry, I just don't. So after the Best Buy deal we did, we went a couple doors down, we got dinner, and good dinner, it was great, everything was great. And then we kind of tried to rush home and when we got, when we pulled in the driveway, it was literally, I think, 6.59. And you know we always start Friday Night Live at 7. But since I didn't give any notice today, I thought, well, I'm going to do it anyhow, and if anybody joins the show, excellent, and if they don't, well then that sucks for me. But if I start late, what does it matter? Nobody is going to be sitting by their computers waiting for me to come on the air. So it's all good.
Speaker 1:And and then what's funny is. We're at dinner and brother Jim is texting Catherine and he's saying hey, um, what, what time? Uh, not what what time. He asked us something like hey, when Ben is on, when Ben's doing the podcast, do you want to share an adult beverage? You know, we like our barrel aged stouts and so on, and Jim's been into brewing his own stuff as well, so he likes to come over and try it out, although I don't think he brought anything that he brewed. I think he brought something over from the brewery. But Catherine and I weren't even out of my truck in the driveway and Jim's pulling up. Man, he knew when we were going to be here.
Speaker 1:So, uh, you know they're downstairs in the dining room sitting around. Uh, uh, you know they're downstairs in the dining room sitting around. Uh, I don't know what their sample. I think Jim brought a over a black Tuesday, I think. So I'll probably take a drink or two of that. And, uh, cause, that's good stuff. It really is, it's good stuff, and it's even better when you just kind of take it easy.
Speaker 1:All right, um, so that's what's going on. That's why we got started late tonight. That's kind of what's happening for the weekend a little bit, and I don't know. I see there's some people watching, so by all means, if you're watching, call in. Please At least send a comment. But remember, if you call in, I got to take a drink of this. It's not a drunk show, but it's my punishment for you engaging. So here's what we've got going on, and the reason why I'm making this announcement this week is because what I'm going to mention takes place next Friday.
Speaker 1:As you know, in the month of March, a big celebration day is St Patrick's Day, and then in the month of May, first week of May, there's Cinco de Mayo. Now, what do those two days have in common? A lot of drinking. So last week I started thinking about it I think it was Sunday when it Next Friday. Yeah, next Friday I'm going to do a To keep it comedic and to keep it light. I'm going to do a drunk show. Okay, but it's not for the purpose of getting hammered, because you know that's not what I do. It's my public service announcement, because you know that's not what I do. It's my public service announcement to this audience here.
Speaker 1:I'm a huge proponent of drinking responsibly. I'm big about that being responsible, not getting behind the wheel when you've had even one too many. It can be even dangerous when you haven't necessarily had one too many but you've still consumed. So, with those big days coming up, I wanted to put this out again as a public service announcement and the way it's going to run down and we'll end up going over and covering the whole covering the ground rules next week, but is I'll be drinking during the show. Catherine was going to join me up here in studio, but she remembered that she's got a church function that evening, so that's where she'll be. So instead, our daughter, tess, is going to come sit in studio with me and not just keep me company and be a part of the show, but she is going to along with.
Speaker 1:You see the effects that alcohol has on a person, whether they realize it or not, as time goes on. It's a very important thing to me. Fortunately, if it gets out of hand for me, my bedroom's across the hall. So that's a good thing, a good thing. But I just yeah, it hit me on Sunday and I thought, okay, this is really important. So let's get this done, let's get the message out, and I want to put it out a week before we get into St Patrick's Day, so that it's not just oh well, if you didn't see it on Friday, if you didn't see Maynard get trashed on Friday, you're going to miss out on St Patrick's Day. You're going to miss the message because St Patrick's Day is Sunday. I don't want to do it that way. I want to give. I want to do it a week in advance and I want to give it time for the audience to take it in watch, listen, however it is, and really get the message.
Speaker 1:And we've got some stuff going on. That's going to be happening. I'm not just going to be sitting here at the table just drinking. There's going to be a little more to it than that. It's just going to be a regular show. So that's what's going on. That's what we have going on for next Friday. That'll be Friday night live. It's going to be a live stream. Tell your family and tell your friends, really, honestly, honestly I know here's my plea okay, tell your family and friends to tune in. I'm going to. Oh yeah, let me say this I'm going to try and start the show at 6 pm Pacific time.
Speaker 1:I have to work next Friday, so it's all going to depend, but that's the plan I will put out. I think I'm going to put out a notification, maybe Sunday, maybe Monday. I'll post it on Facebook, we'll post it on Instagram. I may try to do a short video that'll go out on YouTube as well, just to remind everyone before Friday that this will be happening. And I, just like I said, I feel really. I just feel really strong about this, and I feel so strongly about this that I want you to tune in. I want you to have your family and friends tuning in for an hour hour and 20 minutes, whatever it is okay. I don't know how long the show is going to go. It really is going to kind of depend on a few things, but the most important thing is it's getting the message across to people, the effects of alcohol, and let you see firsthand how it all plays out.
Speaker 1:I know that in the past. Look, I won't sit here and tell you, the audience, that I've never been drunk. I've never driven drunk. I will say that, and I can look you in the eyes and tell you that. However, there have been instances where I was not the designated driver, but I had so much to drink, and we'll probably get into it next week as well. I don't want this. I don't want to spend the whole time talking about next week's show, but there's been a time or two where I wasn't a driver and I had a lot to drink on a particular night and I sat back and I told myself I understand why people get into trouble. I understand now why it happens, because my mind is telling me I'm good, but the rest of me, I'm saying there's no way I should be anywhere near behind the wheel of a vehicle and uh, so that's, that's kind of where it is and it is a really important thing to me. And so I want to kind of just pass along my public service announcement to you, the audience next week. So that's what's going on next week.
Speaker 1:Next Friday Night Live is the I don't know right now, it's just the drunk show, but you know, I'll come up with something better to call it. I think I don't know, right now it's just the drunk show, but I'll come up with something better to call it, I think I hope, because it sounds terrible. Anyway, but you know what? Maybe that's just what it is right. So that's really kind of all there is going on right now.
Speaker 1:No sense in just sitting here gabbing away, looking at myself, looking at the number of viewers waiting for somebody to call and nobody does, waiting for comments and nobody comments. It's fine, it's okay, really, I promise you. But there's no sense in just staying here tying up time and taking up your valuable time. So, but I did need to get that announcement out to you because it's that important. So make sure you tell your family, you tell your friends to tune in next Friday. Be looking at 6 pm Pacific time. It could change to the normal time at seven, but right now, a week in advance, it's a special time of 6 pm Pacific time. Okay, if it changes, there'll be notifications out there, all right.
Speaker 1:So with that, as always, this program is available on all of the streaming platforms out there. Just search the Ben Maynard program. You'll find it. It's there. Go with it. If you do that, just subscribe to it and you'll get notifications when new episodes publish, okay. However, if you're joining on YouTube because you just can't get enough of this right here I know I can't get enough of it then you know. Thanks for watching. I appreciate that. Subscribe to the channel. Give me a thumbs up and leave a comment. All right, comments are great and you know I reply to them. Last but not least, follow me on Instagram. Simply Ben Maynard program, all one word. That is it. Short show tonight. Maybe I got to start working it out and getting ready for next week, maybe that's why, but short show tonight. Greatly appreciate you being here. I love each and every one of you. That is the truth, honest engine. And, as always, this is the Ben Maynard Program. Tell a friend.
