We actually released the podcast you 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: you're able to track down Joy. It was very difficult 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: to track down Joy chest nutt and so it was 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: it was great to have him on as he headed 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: out of New York and we we made sure to 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: put that podcast up early so people could hear it 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: and not wait until Friday. So that was cool. 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was really good to hear him talking 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 3: with you again. But you're right to track him down 24 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: after the win, because normally we speak to him prior 25 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: to the Big Nathan's event. This year, we kind of 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 3: wanted to mix it up and talk to him afterwards, 27 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 3: which turned out to be a good idea because of 28 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 3: the weather delay and all the interesting things that happened 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: this fourth of July. But to get him on the line, 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: it was almost as hard as booking Brian Billick. 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: Brian Billy Brian Billick, Yeah, it was. It was touch 32 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: and go Billick. And if you heard the podcast here 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: with Joey Chestnut, you heard me vaping for a long 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: time there at the beginning of it as we were 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: trying to track down. 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 4: Flavor. 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: Well, you know, Cooper Loop sent me some links to 38 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: some stuff. So but no, it was great to have 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: him on, and we'll have him on again next year 40 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: hopefully as he keeps going. He's thirty nine years old 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: and he is at the top of his game. I 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: love some of the conspiracy theories. I didn't get into 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: this on the podcast, but I read online there was 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: some I think it was it was a Kobe Yashi, 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: one of the guys was saying that the this is outstanding. 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: The competitive eating is rigged, like they're making the hot 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: dog smaller so the records can be broken. 48 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 4: It's just outstanding.

I'm all for as many broadcasting 80 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: jobs as can possibly be out there. I fully support 81 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: that the industry has gotten a lot smaller. And it 82 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: was a good conversation. I had fun. It was a 83 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: little awkward because it was video. It wasn't just audio. 84 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: It was great to see pooh, how dare you? But 85 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: it was fun. I had a good time.

Last weekend, it was my 93 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: wife's birthday. Now we talked about that, but it was 94 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: the culmination. And you know this, Danny, because you have 95 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: to deal with this as well.

That's a boat, Danny. A ferry is a boat. 102 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: We went on the boat and headed out to the 103 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: Mighty Pacific, a thirty mile trip. It was not a 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: three hour tour. It takes about an hour to a 105 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: oasis right there in the Pacific. Beautiful Catalina the island 106 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: life for me, Danny. I love Catalina. We've talked about it. 107 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: I go, I tried to go once a year. I 108 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: didn't go last year. What's kind of the island life? 109 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: Right? 110 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: We've do As we've mentioned Catalina, you've been there. It's 111 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: a small, secluded island that is owned by the descendants 112 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: of William Wrigley, who at one point was one of 113 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: the richest people in America. Owned the Wrigley Bubblegum Company 114 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: and all that, and the Chicago Cubs, and in fact 115 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: they had, as we mentioned, you haven't heard before, the 116 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: owner of the Cubs put spring training on Catalina in 117 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties to try to promote his island, to 118 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: get people to go there, get publicity for the island, 119 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So and they only have one town there, Avalon. 120 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: That's it. There's nothing. You're not allowed to go anywhere 121 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: else on the island. I think there's one other spot 122 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: on the island you can go to and you have 123 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: to take a boat. It drops you off at Avalon 124 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: and that's where you stay, right on the beach. I 125 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: did learn some fun facts, so you want to hear 126 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: some fun facts about Catalina. 127 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of crazy that this comes up right 128 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: now because our middle kid, he went out to Catalina 129 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 3: with a few of his buddies and their parents and 130 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: they're staying at the I guess there's one big hotel 131 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: there in Avalon. 132 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: There's a few hotels, but there's one big one and 133 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: then there's a few smaller ones. So yeah, so that's cool. 134 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, So as we speak, he's on his last day 135 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: there in Avalon. 136 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: So I had never been until I was an adult, 137 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: I'd never been to Catalina, but I learned and I 138 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: liked that. You said you'd like to hear fun facts, Stanny, 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: because although I was gonna give them anyway, he really 140 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: had no choice, right, it was an obvious question. But 141 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: so Norma Jean Baker lived in Avalon for an entire year. 142 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: You know who, Norma Jean Baker is probably better by 143 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: her stage. 144 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: Name, maryland Lynn Monroe. 145 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: That's right, Marilyn Monroe. Her first husband was stationed on 146 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Catalina during World War Two. How amazing must that have been? 147 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: If you were in the military and you were you 148 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: were in the Marines and you're stationed on Catalina. How 149 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: great is that? 150 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a little mini vacation. 151 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been a bunch of Hollywood types that have 152 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: been out there all the way from like John Wayne 153 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: to Taylor Swift and everywhere in between. But then they 154 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: filmed a bunch of movies right. That's the famous story 155 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: about why they have buffalo on the island. It's a 156 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: great story. So in the nineteen twenties, they were filming 157 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: a movie. It was called Vanishing America, and so they 158 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: moved this big Hollywood film crew out there, and to 159 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: make it authentic, they brought fourteen bison from the Great Planes. 160 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: They shipped them these thousand down thousand pound bison. They 161 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: shipped them to this small island off of La Catalen Island, 162 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: and the plan was, Hey, when this thing gets done, 163 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: we're going to move the buffalo back to the planes 164 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: and we're not going to keep them here. Unfortunately, the 165 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Hollywood budget ran out and they didn't have enough money 166 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: to even finish the movie at that time, so they 167 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: just left the buffalo. And how many generations? How long 168 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: do buffalo live? 169 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: Do we know? 170 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how long buffalo live. You'd got to 171 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: think that's the second third generation buffalo. I don't know 172 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: how many there are on the island. But it is 173 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: kind of cool because you drive around some of the 174 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: back roads there and you will run across a buffalo 175 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: just kind of just having. 176 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: A meal and just you live twenty years. 177 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: Oh, that's it yeah, lived twelve oh man, so wait 178 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: a minute, they came. 179 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: It says they can live to be older. But the 180 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 3: average lifespan is twenty years. 181 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: All right, So I believe nineteen twenty four the buffalo 182 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: came to this Catalina island. So let's do the math. 183 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: That's like, man, and what are we like six generations 184 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: if they just live twenty years something like that. 185 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy more. 186 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: Than that probably, Wow, they said there would be no math. 187 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: Take that for data. The highlight of the trip, I 188 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: rented a golf cart. As you know, Danny, there are 189 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: very few cars on this island, so Benny's buggy and 190 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: we cruised around just about every street. You can't go 191 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: on every street because they don't allow. But they actually 192 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: have learn this. I did not know this. They have 193 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: a a golf cart cop that rights citations. Yeah seriously, 194 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: And so this guy's like a narc. He drives around 195 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: on a golf cart and he writes down because every 196 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: cart's numbered, and he'll write down your number, and you'll 197 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: get a ticket if you go on the wrong road, 198 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: if you go too fast, if you don't stop when 199 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: you're supposed to stop, and all that stuff, and I 200 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: thought that was I was like, Wow, that's okay, that's 201 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: the gig. How about that job? You're running around writing 202 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: tickets in a fricking golf cart. But I had a 203 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: great time. It was fun. Me and the wife. We went, 204 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: we hung out, the family was there and it went 205 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: snorkeling near the Casino, which is the big theater there, 206 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: beautiful old building in Cantalina. And I did get a 207 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: gift on my way out of Catalina Danny something I 208 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: was reminded of of a kryptonite that I have. And 209 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: this is not a product of getting older. I've had 210 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: this since I was a kid. I can't put my 211 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: head underwater, can't I can, but if I get water 212 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: in my ear, i am totally getting the royal screw 213 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: job just does not go well. And I get I 214 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: don't know if it's swimmers here. I think I guess 215 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: technically it would be called swimmers ear. But I have 216 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: my right ear is my kryptonite. My right hand was 217 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: getting a workout and I've been dealing with this since 218 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: I was a kid. I actually had tubes in my 219 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: ears when I was a kid. And the career path 220 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: that I've chosen where I have to put headphones on 221 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: for pretty much twenty five hours a week if you 222 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: include the podcasting, the editing, the show, and not the 223 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: greatest decision for my hearing. So I know I'm gonna eat. 224 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm a hearing aid. I'm trying to push it back 225 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: as long as I can. But the last week, so 226 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: when you have swimmers here, my version of swimmers here. 227 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: When I get water in my ear, the first thing 228 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: you notice is, boy, we're screwed. And then the second 229 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: thing it's it's kind of like constantly having an ear 230 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: plug in your one ear where you can barely hear 231 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: out of it, but the other ear is fine, which 232 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: is a problem. So it's like I always have it, 233 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: and I've I've used In fact, i'll show you right 234 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: now because you can see I have hydrogen peroxide here. 235 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah. 236 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: I have been pouring into my ear a couple times 237 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: a day to try to get rid of it, and 238 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: it does help. It bubbles everything up, all the gunk 239 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: that's in the ear from the bacteria and all that. 240 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: So that was my secluded island getaway. It was not 241 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: It was not comic Con, Danny. It was definitely not comic. 242 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: Con as you can hear maybe a little bit and 243 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: see behind me. I'm not in my usual setting because 244 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 3: I'm actually in Las Vegas right now with the Covino 245 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: and Rich Show, because our big boss Dawn said, my man, 246 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: I'll need you to capture a couple of podcasts, my man. 247 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: For the NBA. There's gonna be a lot of nerds 248 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: in Las Vegas this weekend, Ben, but not comic book nerds, 249 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: not superhero nerds. NBA nerds. 250 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 4: Oh me, oh boy. Yeah. 251 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: So I guess the NBA's plan is they're going to 252 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: try to take Summer League and turn it into a 253 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 3: big event. And that's gonna include the Convention Center at 254 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: the Mandalay Bay, fifty NBA stars walking around signing autographs, 255 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: lots of different events going on surrounding the National Basketball Association. 256 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: We all may get the Zion Williamson treatment. 257 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: Are you are they? Well? Yeah, I would think knowing 258 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: NBA events, and remember they had the All Star Game 259 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: in Vegas years ago and that turned out to like 260 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: a shootout at the Old West there the OK Corral 261 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: and all that. But yeah, it's gonna be crazy. I 262 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: wonder how much those guys are pitted. I saw some 263 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: of the names Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Kareem Abdul Jabbar is 264 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: a very surely human being. He's a total curmudgeon at 265 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: this point, and I wonder how much the NBA is 266 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: paying him to show up to that. I saw it 267 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: was Jerry West going to be making an appearance there. 268 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: They've got they've got live entertainment this weekend, and they're 269 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: they've got of course, merchandise sales, all kinds of, all 270 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: kinds of Do you know who you guys will be 271 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: interviewing this weekend? Have you have you gotten a tip 272 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: think of? 273 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: It's kind of the way it was explained to me 274 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: is that it's going to be similar to Radio Row, 275 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 3: where they're just walking different options up to you and 276 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: you have to make a decision. So if I really 277 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: want to saddle Covino and Rich with a difficult interview, 278 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: as soon as they tell me Kareem is available, I'll 279 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: be like. 280 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: I was a huge Kareem. 281 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: Fan as a kid, but as you know, he's maybe 282 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: not the easiest guy to interview on the radio. 283 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: No, we had Kareem when I did the Blitz with Looney. 284 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: We had Kareem abul Jabbar on on a Sunday. We 285 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: were so excited Looney, especially because he was a huge Laker, 286 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, hologists and all that. And I one of 287 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: the first basketball games I ever went to as a kid. 288 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: My youth basketball team took me to the Forum and 289 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: it was a Laker game. It was after the game 290 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: we got to play on the court, and I remember 291 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: they walked all those kids down to the court. This 292 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: is in the showtime days of the Lakers. And I 293 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: was a little kid, and they walked us down to 294 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: the court and I walked by the basket as Kareem 295 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: did the sky hook, and as the eyes of a child, 296 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: it was like the most amazing thing. I thought. His 297 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: hand was hitting the roof of the Forum. It was 298 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: so high in the air, and it was like unbelievable. 299 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: I could believe it. And then as an adult, I had, 300 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: as I said, I Kareem on the show with Looney, 301 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: and we were so excited to have him on. And 302 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: then he could not have been less interested in being on. 303 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: In fact, he was eating lunch and he did not 304 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: stop eating lunch. He was eating a sandwich and he 305 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: kept eating the sandwich while he was answering the question. 306 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: You could hear him chewing. Fascinating and so that was 307 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: my experience interviewing Kareem abdul Jama. How much they must 308 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: be charging a fair amount to get into this thing, right, 309 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: this must be a pricey thing. The NBA must have 310 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: partnered with one of the Vegas promoters to do this. 311 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: But it's I such a manually bait, four hundred thousand 312 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: square feet and it's twice the size of the standard 313 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: All Star of Hey, this is. 314 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 4: Why the Summer League all know the details. 315 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: In a couple of hours here, I need to make 316 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 3: my way to the convention center there, and our big 317 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: boss told me, he said. 318 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 4: Danny, g my man, you are my point man for audio. 319 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Oh all right, well that's great. So you can have 320 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: now this is exciting. You could have like Clyde Drexler 321 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: selling toilet paper stop by for an interview, right, you 322 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: could have that. You could have you know, Bill Layan 323 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: Beard drop by and talk about what shoes he's wearing 324 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: because he's got bad feed or any old school and 325 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: well wait. 326 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: A second, if the NBA is paying them to be there, 327 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: can they shill for a product? 328 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: Well, anything as possible, Danny, as you know, right, you 329 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: can whore yourself out, and I'm not against that.

But I did not 336 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: go to see the Dodgers, really. I went there to 337 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: see a friend of mine, a guy who I know 338 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: from the radio show. 339 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 4: Ah, I saw this photo on your social media. 340 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I posted a photo my friend. Robbie ink Mkowski 341 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: is his name, and he is the field reporter for 342 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: the Buckos, a real Yinzer. He used to work for 343 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: the Twins, but he has four years in Minnesota. He's 344 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: been in the baseball circuit for fifteen years. He's been 345 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: with the Pirates for eleven years. You know what baseball 346 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: He has watched at watching Pirate baseball for the last 347 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: eleven years. But he loves Pittsburgh and I actually met 348 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: him through the show. As I am proud to admit, 349 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: He's probably not as proud, but Robbie Mkowski is a 350 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: listener to the Overnight show. He's a big fan of 351 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: radio and he started listening to the show years ago. 352 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: And we actually met at the ballpark the first time. 353 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: He introduced himself, if I remember correctly, And even though 354 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: he's got a TV gig, he's a guy that loves 355 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: he really loves radio. 356 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 4: Wow. 357 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: And we were chatting and he told me that he 358 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: wants to get into radio. In fact, he's actually dabbling 359 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. He said he's going to do some 360 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: weekend fill in shows at one of the legendary radio 361 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: stations in America. If you're a radio nerd, you know 362 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: this station is the most important station was at the 363 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: beginning of radio k d KA and Pittsburgh KDKA, which 364 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: I think is the only radio station which is east 365 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: of the Mississippi that has the k call letter because 366 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: they were the first commercially licensed station to broadcast on 367 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: the radio waves in nineteen twenty. They one on the 368 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: air in November of nineteen twenty and that started radio. 369 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: And now I know a lot of radios moved to 370 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: streaming and podcasting like what we're doing right here, but 371 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: that was the first official station, was KDKA, and they 372 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: also were the first station to broadcast obviously first they 373 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: did the first ever live sporting event, which was a 374 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: boxing match, a local boxing match at Pittsburgh. They also 375 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: did the first ever heavyweight championship fight, which I think 376 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: was a Jack Dempsey fight. They had the first ever 377 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: baseball game on the radio was on KADIKA. I think 378 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: it was nineteen twenty one. They did the first football 379 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: game on radio. I mean all that stuff. Anyway, it 380 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: was cool. We were like talking. He was telling me 381 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: about KDKA a little bit and the stuff he was 382 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: doing there, and he's a really cool dude. Hopefully that 383 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: goes well for him and all that. So we were 384 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: talking about little inside radio, how we make the hot dogs, Danny, 385 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Well, a couple of guys 386 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: talking radio, and he introduced me to a bunch of 387 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: the people from the traveling party for the Pirates, which 388 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: is cool. I met a bunch of Pittsburgh guys, and 389 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: some of the guys were talking about how they were 390 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: staying at a hotel in downtown Los Angeles this week 391 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: there was an anime convention going on. Gy Yeah, and 392 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: so they were fascinated by the case play that was 393 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: happening at the hotel. But if I remember correctly, Danny, 394 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: isn't Pittsburgh home of like one of the largest furry conventions. 395 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: I've heard that that there's like a legendary furrery convention 396 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: that takes place in. 397 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 4: Pittas that you heard that, you freak. 398 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know, and in my spare time, we don't 399 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: talk about that on the podcast, but you know, I 400 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: just kind of leave that alone there. 401 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean when I think of Pittsburgh, I think 402 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 4: of Willie Stargel. 403 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: Pops Pops Guy hit the two home runs out of 404 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium completely. 405 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 3: We are family Pirates. As a little kid, I used 406 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 3: to think those uniforms were pretty nice. 407 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, they popped. The Pirate old school uniforms popped. Actually, 408 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: this triggered a thought. I was watching this week if 409 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: you want to what kind of loser I am. When 410 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: I'm on the treadmill at the gym, I flipped on 411 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: YouTube and I found the entire broadcast of the nineteen 412 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: seventy one All Star Game, which was played at Tiger Stadium, 413 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: and it was it was fascinating seeing how as before 414 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: I was around and all that, seeing how the game 415 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: was broadcast. It was one of the early still early 416 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: in broadcasting as far as sports, mainstream sports television in 417 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: the early nineteen seventies, and so it was very raw. 418 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: But some of the names. The guy that threw out 419 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: the first pitch at the nineteen seventy one All Star 420 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Game was a guy who made his debut in the 421 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: major leagues in nineteen twenty four. Charlie Gerringer, a famous 422 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: baseball name from back in that year. I was before 423 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: we were around. I've heard I heard the name when 424 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: I was a kid. But this old man, Charlie Gerringer, 425 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: throwing out the first pitch, and they had just these 426 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: really hokey things. They had the commercials on the YouTube feed. 427 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: It was pretty pretty well. But the All Star Game itself, 428 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: Vita Blue pitched against doc Ellis, and every time I 429 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: saw doc Ellis, I thought of not him pitching, I 430 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: thought of him doing LSD and pitching that famous story 431 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: when he was in I think it was in San 432 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: Diego with the pirates and they'd gone to La on 433 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: an off day and with some friends. He's from La 434 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: doc Ellis and they did LSD and he didn't He 435 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to pitch. They drove him to San Diego 436 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: and he had to pitch because the other guy just 437 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: couldn't pitch, if I remember correctly, And he pitched, but 438 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: he started that game. The lineup for the nationally had 439 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: Willie Mays leading off. Henry Aaron was batting second. I mean, 440 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: it's something. Willie McCovey was in the line. This is 441 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: the biggest names that could possibly be out there anyway. 442 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: That just popped in my head, Daddy. That's a that's 443 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: known as a bit of a non sequitor, but it 444 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: popped away. So we have a little bit of asking. 445 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you were asking about the Furry Convention in Pittsburgh. 446 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is there?
