1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: With Stu Gotts and Hawkman.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Is it possible, Stu Gotts that the first weekly guest

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: on the LeBatard Show back in the day that wasn't

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: a sports guest, right, because the first regular weekly guest

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: was Chris Mortenson.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: Correct.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Chris Mortenson and then Tim Kirchin. There were

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 4: a ton of sports guys, Michael Irvin that we went at,

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 4: Jason Taylor that we had on once a week.

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: Dwayne Wade was one of them.

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 2: Was the first non sports weekly guest Ron McGill.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 4: I think it probably was, unless you tell me we

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 4: did something weekly with Frank Caliendo, which is kind of

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: sports but a comedia.

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I would say yes, n after.

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm honestly not certain. The reason I bring up Ron

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: McGill is he announced his retirement from Zoo Miami after

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: forty six years. Yes, A number of people, I think

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: me included, we found out about him through the Levatard Show.

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Do you know how Ron McGill and I know people

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: who listened to I mean, obviously people who listened to

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: this podcast are familiar with the early days.

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: Of the show.

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: Ron McGill was such a ubiquitous member of the show

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: he did. I mean not just weekly appearances, but he

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: was just kind of a running part of the show.

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: But do you know how he came onto the show

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: for the first time? Do you have any recollection? You

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: may not know because it happened behind the scenes.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even.

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: I think the first time Ron mcguil came on the

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: air with us was the first time I realized Ron

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 4: micguil was coming on the air with us.

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like, who, what's sport?

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Was? Like?

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: That was my reaction. There was a story that we

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: were fascinated by.

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: I can't remember. This may have been like two thousand

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: and eight or two thousand and nine. There was a

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: story we were fascinated by, which was a pet chimp attacking.

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: A woman, I think, ripping her face.

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: Off, Like yes, yes, the serious damage to a woman's face, yes, yeah, right, And.

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: I think we were just fascinated with this story. It

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: was gaining national attention, the story itself, because people hadn't

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: really thought that chimps could do that much damage to

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: a human, right, And I know we were talking about

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: it on the show a lot, and Mike Ryan came

48
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: to me and he said, you know, let's book Ron

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: McGill right, and I had the same reaction you did,

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: which was who's Ron McGill And he goes, you don't

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: know who Ron McGill is, and I said no. But

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: I guess for anyone who had grown up down here

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: like Mike had, they were, you know.

54
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: All the school field trips.

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't Zoo Miami back then, it was called Miami

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Metro Zoo, but all the school field trips would go

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: to Miami Metro Zoo.

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: And I guess Ron McGill would visit schools.

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: And he did a lot of local TV too, like

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: he would be on the local affiliates over the years.

61
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: I just wasn't familiar with him. Uh, he was a

62
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: local and is a local legend. Now, I wasn't familiar

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: with him. Mike Ryan did come to you and say

64
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: we should put him on, but Ron was doing so.

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: He was on Paul and Ron's show a lot. Paul

66
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 4: castronov a big one oh six on their morning show

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 4: a lot. But Ron was like also the national kind

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: of zoo animal corresponded, so when like the national talk

69
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 4: shows needed him, Good Morning America and others, they would

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: have Ron mcguill on. That's the only thing I knew

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: about Ron mcguill.

72
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: That's it.

73
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: Well, I argued with Mike because Mike's like, we have

74
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: to have him on, and I remember saying, I don't know,

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: you know, Dan had really been because if this was

76
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: like two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, we'd

77
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: been on the air for a few years. Yeah, and

78
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Dan was more about, hey, we need big names, big names,

79
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: and you know, or talk like a pirate guy, you know,

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: like it real weird stuff?

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: Was that pat memberchie. I mean I remember arguing.

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: With Mike and I'm like, really, a guy from Miami

83
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: Metro Zoo, Like, is that going to make it interesting guest?

84
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: And he kept going, I am telling you, I'll put

85
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: my reputation on the line.

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna love this guy. Dan is gonna love this guy.

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: So I'm interested in this process because obviously you arrived

88
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: at a point where you completely trusted Mike Ryan when

89
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: he came to you and it was passionate about an idea.

90
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: But it doesn't seem like you were at that place

91
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: in your relationship with him when he came to you

92
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: with Ron.

93
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: McGill, So, I mean, he was adamant because I remember

94
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: saying to him like, hey, how about like we try

95
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: to get Jack Hannah, you know, someone like that you

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: would see on Letterman, you know, and here adamant. Yeah, yeah,

97
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: and he was adamant. He was like, I am telling

98
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: you Dan is going to love this guy.

99
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: And he was so adamant. I was like, okay.

100
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: And I really remember kind of cringing when he was

101
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: coming on, because Dan sometimes had a habit if he

102
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: wasn't completely.

103
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: Enthralled with the guest.

104
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: Ye, sometimes he was like a passive, aggressive, rude host.

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: There are a number of times here where that happened, yes, right,

106
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: like trying to think of some where it was like

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: almost like awkwardly angry, like like and I was I

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: was a little fearful of that. Anyway, Ron McGill, he

109
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: comes on, So play this play this clip, uh, Taylor,

110
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: This is Ron McGill coming on as a guest for

111
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: the first time.

112
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 5: The woman who was viciously attacked by a friend's pet

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: chimp on Monday lost.

114
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 6: Her nose, her eyes, and jaw.

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 5: The New York Daily News is reporting Stutts incapable of

116
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: summoning anything in the way of sympathy for.

117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 6: The woman who owned the chimpanzee.

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Not the victims you.

119
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 5: Oh no, yeah, well yeah, which I mean. I'm sitting

120
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 5: here during the break just staring at Stu. Got's just

121
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 5: disappointed by the general lack of compassion.

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: That there is in the world.

123
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: It's it's wearying, I understand, you know, and and most

124
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: people agree with you. Stunningly enough, Hey, most people are

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: agreeing with you. They're saying, Dan, or would you feel

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: bad for me if I had a swimming pool filled

127
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 5: with piranha, and I did one of my friends jumped

128
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 5: in there and got eaten by him.

129
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

130
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, really, Yes, they're people being mauled and people witnessing

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: a mauling. You're this woman lost her pet and a friend,

132
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: and I agree with you. Don't have a chimp as

133
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 5: a pet. I agree with you. You were raising your

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 5: arms in here when pat Riley said don't have a

135
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 5: chimp as a pet.

136
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 6: I agree with you, But I'm still extending compassion to

137
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 6: these people.

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 5: Ron McGill expert on all things animal metro Zoo.

139
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 6: Star Ron McGill is with us on seven ninety the ticket.

140
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 6: So you you'd agree.

141
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 5: With this too, right, Don't have a chimp for a pet,

142
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: don't have a two hundred pound chimp for a pet.

143
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Dan, I mean that's just a recipe for the death.

144
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 7: So I kept telling everybody, you know, the news not

145
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 7: was not that this woman was attacked. The news is

146
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 7: every day that a woman's not attacked or someone's not

147
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 7: attacked when someone keeps an animal like this as a pet.

148
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 7: I mean, that is not a matter of if.

149
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: But when.

150
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: Now there's a couple of things to unpack there. That's

151
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: Rody Gill's first appearance on the show. Yes, what a

152
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: bizarre take by Dan that he feels compassion for the

153
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: lady who owned the chimp. And by the way, which

154
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 2: is fine, I guess, but to make that you're talking

155
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: point like yes, on the things that you would mention

156
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: about the story, that would be one millionth on the

157
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: list that I can't believe you're not showing compassion for

158
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: the lady who owned the chimp who ripped off her

159
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: best friend's face.

160
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: Yes, right, yes, yes.

161
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: I may get there, Dan, I may not, but that's

162
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: not really in my hierarchy right now of things that

163
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm I'm thinking about when it.

164
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: Comes comes to this story, I know there's so much

165
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: too unpacked there. First off, there is no reason to

166
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: have Certain animals are meant for the zoo.

167
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: They are meant for cage, as the chip is one

168
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: of them.

169
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: The only person I feel bad for is the best

170
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 4: friend who got her face toward apart for having a

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: dumber friend, the dumbest best friend in the history of friends,

172
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: for getting a pet chimpanzee.

173
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: The other thing to unpack there is we asked pat

174
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: Riley about that.

175
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: Apparently apparently, I see, this is what I think happened.

176
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: I think this became a talking point for three or

177
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: four days.

178
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'm guilty of this.

179
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: On my radio show, I have been all week talking

180
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: with anybody who comes on gets asked, do you like

181
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: the Shamrock Shake? Because the Shamrock Shake just got released

182
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: by McDonald's again. They was released in the middle of

183
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: February for Saint Patrick's Day coming up next month.

184
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say, having an affair with

185
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: your brother's sisters.

186
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: Oh, that's another good one too, that's a good one.

187
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: So but I get one stated on stuff. But I

188
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: can see where Dan, I mean, we I remember talking

189
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: about this chimpanzee story forever, and so he was asking

190
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: everybody obviously including pat Riley and anyone else who came on.

191
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: The Other thing that I find interesting in that is

192
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: when Dan's introducing him, like I can tell he's looking

193
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: down at Mike Ryan's notes about the description of who

194
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: Ron McGill is, because he just goes metro Zoo star

195
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: Ron McGill, because it probably said he's been on CBS

196
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: four and he's been on NBC six whatever.

197
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: And then this is the phase where Dan is not

198
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: quite certain, he's not quite confident in what it is

199
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 4: we're doing.

200
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: He's stumbling around a little bit.

201
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,119
Speaker 2: He's as I'm nervous that Ron McGill is going to

202
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: crash and burn as a guest. And ultimately, you know,

203
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm the final guardrail for who gets on the air,

204
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: and you know, so Mike has talked me into it.

205
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: But here it is.

206
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: So here is the end of the interview, and you

207
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: will hear that Dan has fallen madly in love with

208
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: Ron McGill as a guest.

209
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 7: By this time, iguanas are waking havoc on so much

210
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 7: native wildlife, whether it be plants or even other lizards,

211
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 7: that it's going to be a real problem.

212
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 5: Strong opinion. He wants to eradicate the iguana. But pat

213
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: Riley buried these iguanas. Were they likely alive?

214
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 7: No, they likely were not alive. I mean, you know,

215
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 7: usually when they fall out and they stay that way

216
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 7: for any length of time, they probably were not alive.

217
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 7: And if they were alive, when they wake up, they'll

218
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 7: dig themselves right out of whatever Pat buried them in.

219
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 6: Okay, there you go. See, there you go.

220
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 7: Exactly iguanas are in exceptional burrowers. I can't even say

221
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 7: the word diggers, let's say, and they can dig themselves

222
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 7: out of anything.

223
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: This has been the best forty minutes of radio we've

224
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: ever done, Ron miguil, thank you for being on with us.

225
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 7: My pleasure. Dan, keep up the good work.

226
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Ron Miguel.

227
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, how good was that?

228
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: So there is all the proof you need that Dan

229
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: has fallen in love. That's that's the beginning of Mike

230
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: taking over my role as executive producer, because he obviously.

231
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: Knows what Dan likes better than I do.

232
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm telling you I vehemently argued against having Ron McGill

233
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: and I just.

234
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: Didn't know who he was.

235
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: But forty minutes, think of forty minutes on the radio,

236
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: forty minutes with Ron McGill, and it ends with Dan

237
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: saying that may be the best for radio we've ever done.

238
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: How many years into the show is that, Ye, it's

239
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 4: like four or five years into the show. He might

240
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: be right, though, I mean at the time he was

241
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 4: probably right, but he was smammered.

242
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: Like you could tell at the end, like he just

243
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: he could not have him back on fast enough.

244
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: So you and I both know what Dan wanted in

245
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: particular at that time was either big name guests or

246
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: guests that were different discussing different things. And I think

247
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: what he fell in love. Ron had great opinions, he

248
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: had great information, but it was such a left turn

249
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: from what everyone else in sports radio was doing. To

250
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: have a zookeeper on discussing animals and asking animal questions

251
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: was something.

252
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: That Dan strive for.

253
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: He always wanted stuff like that, Either give me Mike

254
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: Tyson or give me something completely.

255
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: Out of left field. McGill is captivating though.

256
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: That's one of the things, like it's one thing to

257
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: have a guy on from the zoo, it's another thing

258
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: to have Ron McGill who makes all the animal noises

259
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: and plays along with the correct tenor of the show. Also,

260
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: are you doing him a disservice by calling him a

261
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: zoo keeper? I feel like just by I just I

262
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: feel like by just throwing out that descriptor having a

263
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: zoo keeper.

264
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: On, I don't know if is Ron McGill a zoo keeper.

265
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: I think he's a zoo director, I believe, like or

266
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 4: the vice president of the zoo.

267
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like that would be like if

268
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: you had like the org chart at Zoo Miami. He's

269
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: at the top, yes, yeah, and I gotta feel like

270
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: zoo keeper has got to be somewhere towards the bottom.

271
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: No.

272
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 8: Yes, So it looks like his exact title is communications director.

273
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: Hmmm, that's not a you know, that title is not enough.

274
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 4: I mean, for what Ron does for that zoo and

275
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: how great he is, he should be president.

276
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: Of all zoos. He should, he should. I don't like

277
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: this communications direct this zoo. So it turned into a

278
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: weekly show, howk we?

279
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 4: So you hear towards the end of that, because no

280
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: one is more surprised than me that I fell in

281
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 4: love with him as well, because I wanted to just

282
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: talk sports.

283
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: I want to I want to do forty minutes with

284
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: Ron McGill.

285
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: I wanted to do forty minutes with I don't know

286
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: pick any Ron, and so I was shot just because

287
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: you and I love radio and so we know good guest,

288
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: bad guest. Ron McGill was as good again as you

289
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: can get. He would answer Dan's questions, he would answer

290
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: them quickly, there were no gaps. He allowed us to

291
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 4: make fun of them. He made fun of us. He

292
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: was a perfect guest for our show.

293
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: He really was.

294
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: And didn't preach by the way, no, you know, you

295
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: know where you would think like a zoo guy would

296
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: preach like he even on that first segment where he's like, yeah,

297
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: the iguanas are an invasive species and we got to

298
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: get rid of them like that, Like he wasn't this

299
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: preachy peda guy, you know.

300
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: So I parlayed our relationship with Ron into getting VIP

301
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: trips and tours.

302
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: I did that as well when my son was little.

303
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: I mean, one of the best core memories is Ron

304
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: McGill walking us around Zoo Miami and walking us into

305
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: the enclosures and sitting on top of the giant tortoise, and.

306
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: He feels special. When you walk around with Ron McGill,

307
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: you really do. And so I'll tell you a quick story.

308
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: Hockey was riding us around at a golf court with

309
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 4: my twin daughters and he threw one of them because

310
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: he didn't realize that she wasn't totally in. But he

311
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: threw them off the golf court. And this is after

312
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: a long V tour. I'm getting access that no one

313
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: else is getting. And I threatened a lawsuit on Rob mcguill.

314
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: Her face was screamed.

315
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: Well, he h forty six years at Zoo Miami. But

316
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: I really do think that he's on the map for

317
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: a lot of people because of the Levatard Show. I

318
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: really do you know again, people listen to Paul and Ron.

319
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: You're right, and he's done local TV and he's done

320
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: national TV. But I think his weekly appearances with you

321
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: and Dan really solidified him as like a Miami pseudo

322
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,479
Speaker 2: celebrity superstar.

323
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: Yes, and I think Ron knew that and fed off

324
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: of that. It was good for him, it was good

325
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: for his brand, it was good for the Zoo. We

326
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: did events, a lot of our listeners went and supported it.

327
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 4: They supported Ron because Ron was delivering great radio and

328
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: different radio on a weekly basis.

329
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: He's he's a great man.

330
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: Him and Dan have turned into really good friends, like

331
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 4: they traveled to Africa together.

332
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: It's crazy. I will tell you that.

333
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: Obviously we jumped on this opportunity to have McGill on

334
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: every week. He wanted to do it. There was no

335
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: talent fee involved. He wanted to do it because it

336
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: helped promote Zoo Miami or Metro Zoo back then, so

337
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: it was kind of a symbiotic relationship. But I think

338
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: old fans of the show will recall some of these fondly.

339
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: Here is one of the first opens to The Ron

340
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: McGill Show. We had him on a weekly basis, had

341
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: him on for a half hour, so it was two segments,

342
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: and this was the open, the first open to the show.

343
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: And no, the Ron McGill Show straight from Zue Miami.

344
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: It's Ron McGill, not really. The Ron McGill Show has

345
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: brought to you by metro Ford. You want it, They've

346
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: got it at metro Ford. They've got this selection over

347
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: four hundred New Fords to choose. Metro Ford just off

348
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: Fine ninety five ninetieth Street in Miami. Here's Ron McGill

349
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: stun tickets. That's all you need. That's good, big voice.

350
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 4: Man, I'm telling you, the imaging was better than the show.

351
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: The imaging was so good that show stood apart from

352
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: anything else you heard on local radio.

353
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: God blessed the Big Voice.

354
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: God bless us being able to find him and having

355
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: a deal with him. And I love that. I saw

356
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: you light up when it mentioned metro Ford. I don't

357
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: even know if metro Ford still exists, but they spent

358
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: a decent amount of money on the radio station.

359
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that is the that is really the

360
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 4: lifeline of local sports radio is local car dealerships.

361
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 3: I hearned that very very early. They all spend They

362
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: spend a lot of money.

363
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: I have no idea of metro Ford's in business or not,

364
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 4: but I know they were spending a lot of money

365
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 4: with us for that show.

366
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: Because that show, I believe Rob McGill. When I was

367
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: looking at the ratings.

368
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: There were times when the book came out and as

369
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: as the ratings advanced talk you could break it down.

370
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: By like half hour, quarter hours and all that stuff.

371
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: I think Ron McGill was like the highest rated part

372
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: of our week. That's how people loved him. Man, it's crazy.

373
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 8: So to Stugatts's defense, I'm looking up Ron McGill's biography

374
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 8: right now. He started as a zoo keeper, became the

375
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 8: lead zoo keeper, then the senior zoo keeper, and then

376
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 8: he became the assistant curator.

377
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: Now I wouldn't have I don't think I would have

378
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: objected at your description, stew Goats, had you said senior

379
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: zoo keeper, that's it.

380
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: I just if you gave it just like a little

381
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 3: bit more flowery title there.

382
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: Zoo keepers, yeah, like something, but just zookeeper felt like

383
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: it was a little dismissive of what this man meant

384
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 2: to the zoo for forty six years.

385
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you called him the zoo guy.

386
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: Get No, I'm not certain if you're aware of this.

387
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 4: Well, we left a local radio to go to ESPN,

388
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 4: Dan and I had to have dinner with trog Keller

389
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 4: and Moe Davenport.

390
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: And those are two radio names right there, okay, And

391
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: those are these guys hitters at the network.

392
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: A massive, massive, massive hitters at the network, heavy hitters

393
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 4: as you described them. And so trog Keller, Mo Davenport,

394
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: we're at a Morton steakhouse.

395
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: Morton, We're at a Morton steakasse.

396
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: And so a quick funny story before we got I

397
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 4: told we thought there was one in South Beach one

398
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 4: in North Miami, and one of the two executives went

399
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 4: to the South Beach location.

400
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: Everyone at the location, so.

401
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 4: We were off to a band start there and then

402
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 4: Dan had to drive like a half hour to get

403
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: to the North Miami Beach. Well, bad start, but we

404
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 4: get there and there were two deal breakers. Right, the

405
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 4: guys are sitting at the table, we're having steak, and

406
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: they're like, all right, let's get this done.

407
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: We want to do this.

408
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 4: We're excited to have you guys. There are two concerns though,

409
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: the zoo guys gotta go really had Stu got his name? Yes,

410
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 4: those are the two things I remember.

411
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: Either, I remember I remember that being a conversation. I'm

412
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: not certain that I was. I wasn't part of the

413
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: show back then, but I remember hearing from you or

414
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: someone else that they just wanted it to be the

415
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: Dan Leviatard Show. And Dan was adamant that your name

416
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: needed to be attached to it. And now he's adamant

417
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: that your name just stays attached to it. Who I

418
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: mean when I retrenches himself in an opinion, he does.

419
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: Not bug it.

420
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: Yes, I reference that show now is the show that

421
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 4: still has my name on it.

422
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, So it's funny because you guys had to

423
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: sell to a sports network who has you know, Colin Cowhard,

424
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: like real sportsy guys. You have to sell to them

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: that on the country's leading sports network, you're gonna talk

426
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: zoo animals, Yes, with a senior zoo keeper. Yes, that

427
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 2: with a senior zoo keeper for a half hour every week.

428
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: And understandably ESPN's like, yeah, not so.

429
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 4: Much, right, And so it's at Dan Wood and Budge

430
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: to his credit and he's like, no, that's our show.

431
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 4: I'm not doing that to him. The audience loves it.

432
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 4: But here's a funny story about that. Eventually it got solved,

433
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 4: and obviously Ron stayed a part of the show and

434
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: was doing weekly segments.

435
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: So we started ESPN and Ron is on it. Ron

436
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: is so good.

437
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 4: What happens hoc A week later after he does like

438
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 4: two or three shows with US nationally? Where do I

439
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 4: see Ron McGill on fucking Sports Center? I mean breaking

440
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: down an animal that ran across a field.

441
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna say he was one of

442
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: the panelists on the Sports Reporters. It was Bob Ryan,

443
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: Mike Lupica, Ron McGill.

444
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: A different corneyes are a Beati and John Saunders. And

445
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 3: here this was all over ESPN.

446
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: Suddenly I'm Ron McGill with my closing thought like, wait

447
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: a second, that's supposed to be Bob Ryan.

448
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: Here's another guy you didn't once.

449
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: Here's another show open that we did for the Ron

450
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: McGill half hour.

451
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: And now back to the Ron McGill Show. Straight from

452
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: Sue Miami. It's Ron McGill.

453
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: That sounded more like a mule, Ron.

454
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 7: You know, Dan, Ron, it sounded more like a mule, Dan, Dan,

455
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:46,720

460
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: got Letard on seven checks.

461
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: I guess Metro four kid go out of business? You

462
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: know what?

463
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: Like that goes across someone's desk at BB and T.

464
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: It's coming out of an ad agency and you're like, yeah,

465
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: we'll give you a sponsorship of the Ron McGill Show.

466
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 3: They have no idea what they're signing up for they're

467
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: a bank.

468
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: They think they're doing like a sports mandate, and so

469
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 2: someone at their desk is probably like, I don't know,

470
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: Ron McGill is probably the new coach at FIU or

471
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: something where.

472
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: The sponsors of his show. Then somebody pitched it that way.

473
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:40,400

479
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: To explain to the audience, this is why Mark Hackman

480
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: is a legend. This is why he had such a

481
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 4: big imprint on this radio show. I know it's a

482
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 4: small thing. It's a tiny thing. Anything that makes.

483
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: The host happy in the audience smile, that's exactly why

484
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 3: I did it is a great thing. And that's like

485
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: just what It's like.

486
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: A subtle nod to the hosts and the listeners or

00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: whatever if you really pay attention to the show.

488
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080

00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: a tokey lizard, and I think he did doka one

507
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,040

00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: and over again.

509
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280

00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,600

512
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: It's like music, it.

513
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: Is, And then he slips in a fucking Lombardy.

514
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: That to me, To me, I felt like, I don't

515
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: know how Mozart felt when he put a final timpany

516
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: in or whatever the terminology would be. But I knew

517
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: my piece needed something. I had a symphony on my

518
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: hands and I knew it was I knew it was good,

519
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: but I wanted it to be great. And I said

520
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: to myself self, how can I make this great? And

521
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: I went through all does it need the tangle? Does

522
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: it need an obo? Does it need the flourish of

523
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: a monitor lizard sound? And somewhere in the recesses of

524
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: my brain I came up with just a quick, subtle

525
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: Lombardo and I said, now we have a masterpiece.

526
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: It is Blue Oyster Cult. Who did Godzilla?

527
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: Play it one more time? Just the beginning of that.

528
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,000

Speaker 1: Bank.

552
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Here's just a clip from when he would come on

553
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: with us. I pulled this one out, which is, uh,

554
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: this is what he calls his worst monkey story.

555
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 6: What's what's your best monkey story?

556
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 7: I can't talk about it.

557
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: Why not. That's the first time that's ever happened. Come

558
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: on the story.

559
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 7: I know it was pretty it's pretty bad.

560
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: The sex story.

561
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just basically a primate that was so enamored

562
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 7: that basically pinned someone up against the bars and tried

563
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 7: to breed that person through the bars. And I mean,

564
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 7: you know, I actually did did reach the promised land

565
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 7: all over that person was kind of gross.

566
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, sorry made.

567
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 3: Me say it. Man, Why the family feud sound at

568
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 3: the end of that.

569
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: So again, sometimes I would just be in a randy

570
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: mood and I'd have the hot keys near me and

571
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: uh him saying the monkey reached completion on said person.

572
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: I felt like that was worthy of a ding and

573
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: a cheer from the family Feud crowd.

574
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: Yes, it was another gift to the audience.

575
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: You were big on that, on giving them if you

576
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 4: stayed with us, listened to us all the time. You

577
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: were big on giving them little gifts that they weren't expecting.

578
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: And the family few was a big point of our shows. Well,

579
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: you just put it in there in all honesty.

580
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: So, as an executive producer, I'm hearing the story. I

581
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: see how this is about to play out. There's going

582
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: to be no real finish that's going to be appropriate,

583
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it's gonna lay flat

584
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: there because we're laughing uncomfortably at something that's kind of awful,

585
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: and Dan can't be flippant about it because someone obviously

586
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: got defiled in an awful way and I don't know,

587
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: And so I was like, this needs like a comedic punctuation,

588
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: but no one can be the person who says something

589
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: comedic there. So I actually just used the sound effect

590
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: to kind of lessen the I don't want to say

591
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: that there was tension, but just kind of lessen the

592
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: moment there to make it.

593
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: It was a icy subject. It was it was we

594
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: were nervous to be laughing around that subject. So rather

595
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: than us do the laughter and deliver the lines, you

596
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 4: you did it, You're would sound that it was genius.

597
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: I like how Ron refers to what happened there as

598
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: the monkey decided to breed the person, Like there's so

599
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: like he decided to breed the person. So in honor

600
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: of Ron McGill retiring after forty six years at Zoo Miami,

601
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play for you now the twenty ten Suie

602
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: Award category Best Ron McGill Moment, and it's such a

603
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: good little snapshot of everything Ron had done that year

604
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: on the air with us.

605
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: It also speaks to hawk just how big of a

606
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 4: part of the show Ron became. Because when you get

607
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: your own sue category, you will become a big part

608
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: of our radio show.

609
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: I'm not even joking, you know, so if he would

610
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: come on with us at six o'clock, which that promo

611
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: said that he did, people would be on the phone

612
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: at three point thirty and they'd call in and we'd

613
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: screen the calls and they and what do you want

614
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,720

00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: on hold for two two and a half hours because

617
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: they wanted to be one of the phone.

618
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,160

627

00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: imagine there were people, I'm not kidding you, there were

790
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 2: people who would tell us, Yeah, I have to make

791
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 2: sure I don't know what night it was, Thursday night

792
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,400

00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: Think about that.

796
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: You understand, like Bostonians, they had to be listening at

797
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: Tuesdays at four to EI to hear Tom Brady. Yes

798
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: makes sense sports radio station. It's your quarterback and he's

799
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: got a weekly show. We had people who had to

800
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: be listening when the zoo guy came on to answer questions.

801
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 4: About animals, yep, most popular segment of the week, but

802
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: that Dad had a very unique and distinct vision for

803
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 4: the show, just that when you turned it on, you

804
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 4: never knew what you were going to hear. Sometimes it'll

805
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 4: be Tim Kirchin giving you great information, sometimes it would

806
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: be Chris Mortenson.

807
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: And sometimes it would be Ron McGill. Well, it was

808
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 3: gutsy too.

809
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: It was gutsy because I don't think a lot of

810
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: people would have the guts, even if you knew that

811
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: you had a long standing show and that you weren't

812
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: going anywhere, like just to have the guts to say, yeah,

Speaker 2: the animal guy.

818
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,920

00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: Do you eat fish dip? I didn't eat fish dip

838
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: till I got to Florida.

839

841
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 4: become very close with Buddha. I believe Buddha's in my

842
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 4: dad's will. I believe Buddha's.

843
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: Getting more than I'm getting when my dad moves on.

844
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 4: But I do so I don't eat that, but I

845
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 4: do have the spinach dip at Burton Max's and it's

846
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,680

847
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: I mean it, Taylor, Do you eat fish dip.

848
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: A lot of people are turned off by fish dip

849
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: because just like a blob of fish, nameless fish.

850
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I don't eat it, but I wouldn't discriminate

851
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 8: against it if.

852
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: Presented with it.

853
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: Well, I have at Dec eighty four, they have this

854
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: fish dip and they serve it with the crackers, but

855
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 2: they have a whole bunch of pickled vegetables in a

856
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 2: little cup that they serve with it. So it's pickled

857
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 2: carrots and pickled onions and pickled peppers and it's delicious.

858
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: Dec eighty four in Atlantic Avenue, Burton Maxes in Delray

859
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: Beach as well.

860
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: We always appreciate it.

861
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: And I always say, if you go to Burton Maxes,

862
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 2: because Buddha's there all the time, if you walk up.

863
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 3: And say, hey, I'd like to speak with Buddha. First,

864
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: they'll think.

865
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: You're a complaining Karen, because why else would you be

866
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: asking for the general manager. But just bear with them

867
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: and say I'd like to speak to Buddha. And then

868
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: if Buddha comes over, you say to him, you know

869
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 2: what I heard Stu Goott's and Hawkman talking about you,

870
00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: and I'd like you to buy me.

871
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 3: And I for all sprits and we'll do something. He

872
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: will do that. I'll do that for you. And at

873
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 3: Burton Max's Hock they have this great dish.

874
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 4: It's it's a meat loaf, and meat loaf on its

875
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 4: own is very good. But this particular meat loaf, because

876
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 4: meat loaf is not enough at Burton Max's, is wrapped

877
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 4: in bacon. It has got a strip of bacon all

878
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 4: the way around the meat loaf.

879
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 3: It's kind of like throwing Lombardo into that hole open there.

880
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: You know, if that's a great call, that's a great call.

881
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. Sometimes you're a check and

882
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: you're like, I need something here. The meat loaf is good,

883
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: I need something.

884
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw some bacon on it.

885
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: That's the way that I would spice something up with

886
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 2: a random Lombardo.

887
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 3: That was like my bacon.

888
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: If there's something you want to hear on the podcast,

889

893
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: love the reminiscing between you and Stu Gott's. One of

894
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,880

898
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 2: on the radio as well. We did go through a

899
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 2: pirate phase that actually started with Talk Like a Pirate Day.

900
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: We had the founder of Talk Like a Pirate Day

901
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: on the show with us, and we ended up going

902
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 2: through a Oh you know who else was part of

903
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: the pirates, cro Pat Croch.

904
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 3: What a great call by you. Yes, I think he

905
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 3: had a pirate museum and the keys.

906
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Pat Croch was the owner of the Sixers,

907
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 2: right and then right he was the owner of the Sixers.

908
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: He became a friend of ours, sold his steak in

909
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: the Sixers, and then I think was working as like

910
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 2: a president of something for the Orlando Magic for a while.

911
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a consultant or maybe president of the Magic,

912
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 4: and became friends of the show.

913
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: He was a friend of ours.

914
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: He was such a great That's exactly who I was

915
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: thinking of. How the hell did you remember Pat Croche

916
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:10,879

920
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,800

921
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: more than you'll ever know. With that transition. I was

922
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: beyond homesick, and you guys filled the void and then some.

00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,000

00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: a big portion of the show for a minute.

931
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 4: I love dms like that, messages like that because as

932
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 4: you struggle, Hawk, when you do what we do for

933
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 4: a living to find any sort of meaning, like, am

934
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 4: I having any sort of impact on society at all?

935
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 3: Anything positive?

936
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,080

Speaker 4: got me through the most difficult time in my life

938
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 4: because you allowed me to laugh and you took my

939
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 4: mind off of what was going on.

940
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it, that's like, and it happens until this day.

941
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: It still happens to me all the time where people

942
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 4: say that to me and it gives meaning to what

943
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 4: it is that we do it does?

944
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:27,040

00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 2: Can you discuss with stug Gotts when seven ninety had

946
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: a sponsor with a company called New Bag.

947
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 3: I could be misspelling the name.

948
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: I believe it was essentially a product for stinky balls.

949
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: It was we want to know all the details. Yeah,

950
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 3: we did the sack of the week, right, Yeah, the

951
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 3: New Bag Sack.

952
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: Of the Week, which that's kind of like dude wipes.

953
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean that's a multi million dollar business, Dude wipes.

954
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: Like they were just they were just ahead of their time.

955
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: They sponsored our week at Radio Row. I mean did

956
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 3: they Yes?

957
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: Yes?

958
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 3: On Fox Sports Radio.

959
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Hock, can you track down the segments you

960
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 2: guys did on LeBatard Show about roadside shrimp vendors. I

961
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: remember Lebotard thinking it was unsafe till a UF professor

962
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 2: said it was safe, which led to callers getting roadside

963
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: shrimp if they called in with the phrase that pays,

964
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: which was I'm gonna break you boss, which was a

965
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 2: phrase that Kimbo Slice used on our show. This is

966
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: an incredible DM because we started talking about roadside shrimp vendors,

967
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: which are unique to Miami because cam Cameron was the

968
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 2: head coach of the Dolphins and camarones is the.

969
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 3: Spanish word for shrimp.

970
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: And somehow that brought us to a conversation about these

971
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: roadside shrimp vendors where you pull up to a just

972
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 2: a stoplight, you know, like underneath an overpass or something,

973
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: and there are people selling shrimp in Miami.

974
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: How much do you love a phrase that pays? Oh

975
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: my god, how great is that?

976
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: So we went to a roadside shrimp vendor and if

977
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 2: you pulled up and said to him the phrase that pays,

978
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 2: we covered the cost of your bag of shrimp. This

979
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: one's interesting too. And I know we got to wrap

980
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: things up and says.

981
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 4: This is an important lesson for Taylor to learn in

982
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 4: that sound is never dead.

983
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 3: You can know it.

984
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 4: Like Hawk was a master of weaving sounds from two

985
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: years before.

986
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 3: He would just weave things together. And so, I mean,

987
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: you remember, kim I'm going to break you boss. Remember that.

988
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 2: It was like I mean, it was like terrifying the

989
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 2: way he said it, I'm going to break you, boss.

990
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 4: Like Taylor the day you said black up quarterback on

991
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 4: Martin Luther King Day.

992
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 3: Save it because I'm telling you, I think Taylor wants

993
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 3: to let that one great offiction you'll use it again.

994
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: Someone.

995
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: I think Taylor wants to forget that one. Somebody DM

996
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 2: me on Instagram. Hawk, Do you have a copy of

997
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: Dan's incredibly awkward interview with Tom Green back on seven

998
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: ninety The Ticket?

999
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: Wow?

1000
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: I remember at the time, Dan was a comedy snob,

1001
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 2: openly looked down on Green comedically and intellectually, and didn't

1002
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: really want to do the interview. Then Tom Green just

1003
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: completely bulldozed Dan during the interview because Dan had underestimated

1004
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 2: him and tried to clown him, and Tom just jiu jitsued.

1005
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 3: The interview away from him.

1006
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: Yes, I haven't heard that interview in over a decade,

1007
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 2: probably fifteen years, but I still think it's a great

1008
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: example of underestimating someone and then getting wrecked because of it.

1009
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: I found the interview, I started listening to it. It

1010
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: is interesting. We're gonna have to play that.

1011
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 4: Wait, so that's the interview you were looking for earlier

1012
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 4: when you said Dan wasn't kind of into it. He

1013
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 4: would be passive aggressive.

1014
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: He thought, yeah, there are a number of those. There

1015
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 2: are a number of those.

1016
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 3: Yes, the robot.

1017
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 4: Has anyone asked about robot baseball because we are headed

1018
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 4: towards robot baseball, and I think it's worth revisiting.

1019
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 3: It was a bad bit.

1020
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: That's one of the toughest things that I ever made

1021
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 2: production wise.

1022
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the show. Yeah, because I.

1023
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: Wanted all the real robot sounds and to script out

1024
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 2: Boog calling a baseball game with irona from Richie rich

1025
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 2: and C three po and using baseball terminology.

1026
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 3: I love that bit. It went long.

1027
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 2: That was the only criticism of that bit was that

1028
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 2: it was a radio bit that lasted maybe nine or

1029
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 2: ten or eleven minutes and was probably a touch too long.

1030
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 3: Do you have regrets about that?

1031
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 4: Because the bit was great, Like if we should have

1032
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 4: been so, I think all Night have been shorter.

1033
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 3: Probably should have been shorter, but it was shorter.

1034
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 2: It was nice to fire that thing off though, and

1035
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 2: be able to walk away for twelve minutes. Well, and

1036
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 2: you had the professional voice of Boog Shambi seriously announcing

1037
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 2: again with the soda machine.

1038
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 3: The soda machine was the reliever, right, they went to

1039
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 3: the bad. So many dms here. Thank you for doing

Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll be a future topic.

1048
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 2: But if someone can sprinkle a Roy's top ten at

1049

Speaker 4: a michi right yeah, no, no, no, so there were

1064
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 4: two things we used to do, the spelling bees between

1065
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 4: you and Dan. Yeah, it was me and Dan spelling bee.

1066
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 4: Dan would always get the easy ones. You guys would

1067
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 4: give me the hard ones. But there was another segment

1068
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 4: that he asked me it was spelling bee. That's something

1069
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 4: I don't know, but we I think there were Oh

1070
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 4: it was it was it was stumped the meach.

1071
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 3: Were you there for that when we would play work?

1072
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 3: I think's gone by then.

1073
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 4: Okay, we will revisit both of those at some point because.

1074
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 2: Somebody dm me original hakamaniac here. I have a fond

1075
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: memory and a question for you. I was an accountant

1076
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 2: at a terrible CPA firm in two thousand and eight,

1077
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 2: fresh out of college. One of my colleagues introduced me

1078
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 2: to your show as a way to help get through

1079
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 2: our shitty day. I remember listening to you on a

1080
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 2: live stream from seven nineties website, and during commercial breaks,

1081
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: you would come on the stream and interact with all

1082
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,720
Speaker 2: of us who were texting the show in real time.

1083
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 2: Very cool, way ahead of its time. In two thousand

1084
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 2: and eight, do you remember we used to do that?

1085
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 2: So we used to have the live stream of the

1086
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 2: show at seven to ninety the ticket dot Com. And

1087
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: when we would go to commercial break, you couldn't play

1088
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 2: the commercials over the stream for various reasons, and so

1089
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 2: I would take the microphones out of the air program

1090
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 2: Program one, and I would put them on the stream

1091
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: only program. And this was dangerous because if I forgot,

1092
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 2: because we would get on the stream and we would curse. Yes,

1093
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 2: of course, we'd be like, this is just for you

1094
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 2: motherfuckers streaming right now, and it was just And sometimes

1095
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 2: I would create web shows that I had pre recorded

1096
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 2: off a computer that I would play just for the

1097
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: people listening on the stream, and it contained cursing and whatnot.

1098
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 2: But it became just a little too dangerous in case

1099
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 2: I am accidentally was going.

1100
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 3: To put it out over the air. And sure I didn't.

1101
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:04,560
