Hello and welcome. It's our number one. Back at it. A new week of Marginal Podcast for the Ben Maller Show with limited commercial interruption.

Now, if you did not hear the fifth hour podcast over the weekend, please, I recommend it.

It's still available.

It's timeless, the fifth hour podcast.

We had the mailbag on Sunday.

We had the look back at the Bendies, the fallout from that on Saturday, and then I'm back on Sunday. We had the look back at the Beny's, the fallout from that on Saturday.

And then on back on Friday, we chatted with Charlie Steiner, the voice of the Los Angeles

Dodgers on radio for almost 20 years and also the star at Sports Center back in the day.

But today's podcast, we kick off the new week and our friends, the Gremlin's, pay

a visit.

But we talked about LeBron James comments over the weekend about the vaccine, which in many

ways overshadowed the NBA All-Star game.

It's another example of hypocrisy from LeBron James.

LeBron often talks about not wanting to stick to basketball,

but he picks and chooses when he wants to stick to basketball. You'll hear that and a surprise

appearance by Eddie Garcia here in our number one. LeBron stealing the show yet again. Welcome

in the beginning of the Ben Mather show.

We are in the air everywhere as we treat insomnia, coast to coast, border to board.

Stuff falling apart in here, literally falling apart in the mobile studios, the vast, powerful microphones of FSR, emanating live from deep inside the magic radio box.

It's all good here.
