Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400

Speaker 3: The Overnight Show during the week. And we thank you

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: for finding the podcast. And all we need is five minutes, Danny, really,

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: that's it, right.

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: Five minutes of your time, and we get credit for

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: it as a download and a listen.

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: So if we did just a five minute podcast and

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: everyone listened for those five minutes, we'd be good.

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, let's do that. We have two and a

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: half minutes left to go.

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's it just five minutes and then.

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just sing for two and a half minutes.

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: La la la la la la la la la la

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: la good bye.

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: On second thought, I just remembered your singing abilities.

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: Hey, there's a few songs I know. I think I've

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: done all of them right now, No one very good?

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: How about this one?

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: Turn out the last the parties over? Does that work

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: for you?

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: That's a drop, that's about it. Oh no.

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: The other one I know is Die Die Diarrhea. And

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: the good thing about that one is that Eddie loves

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: that one and he wanted to play it. But Lorraine

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: h as marcel I said she couldn't find it, So

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: we didn't have that one. So yeah, maybe that got

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: a raise from the system.

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: It did. I actually looked for that before and couldn't

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: find it. So somebody did delete that. They that's a classic.

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: I know. I have the Negro drop though you want

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: to hear it?

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 3: Uh No, I think I'm I think I'm I'm good

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: on that. But all look the same. Now here's a

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 3: fun fact. I'll let you behind the microphone on how

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: the Die Die diarrhea song came about. Well, that was

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: the Ben Bishop when he put his pants for Tampa Bay.

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: But that's kind of my that's an homage, Danny. I'm

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: paying homage to a song when I was a kid,

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: it hanah die Die Dieanu. It was a song we

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: would sing. And so I just I use a creative license.

56
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: To Eddie argue with you and say that that wasn't

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: what was going on with Bishop Eddie's delusion.

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: Okay, he's so far up the tookas of Gary Bettman

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: that he does not understand that that's they should embrace that,

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: just like when remember Lamar Jackson had the poopies fan

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: off the field to go take a pooh.

62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Isn't that what happened to was it Paul Pierce?

63
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's that's that legend when he was in

64
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: the wheel the wheelchair legendary. He had to go poo poo.

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: It was great to see pooh.

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: Oh so good that white home Celtic uniform would have

67
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: been brown and.

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: White racist Uh cavaliers Jersey.

69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: Oh that is uh, that is simply simply wonderful, is

70
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: what that is. So we got a lot to get

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: to on the Saturday Pod. I will start with this.

72
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: A few emails this week Danny about something that happened

73
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: on the Coveno and Rich show. Oh yeah, and we'll

74
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: call this one topic cannon fodder.

75
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: So I woke up.

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: I was in a bit of a daze. A few

77
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: emails were coming in from people.

78
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: Said, did you hear? Did you hear what.

79
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: Happened on the Coveno and Rich Show? And I'm like, well, no,

80
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't hear. And then so then you

81
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: would send me. You sent me a link, so then

82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: I was able to hear the whole thing. But on

83
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: Coveno and Rich, they and I'm actually not upset people.

84
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: Some people thought, you know how the p ones are, Danny.

85
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: They're like, they want to start a civil war. Oh yeah,

86
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: between the Overnight Show and Coveno and Rich and I.

87
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys have always been vocal about how

88
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: they like you and they love your radio show. So

89
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: they pointed that out first before Rich started complaining.

90
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: Before I said a mad dog in me. But no,

91
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, I'm fine.

92
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: Listen.

93
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: In fact, I'm honored, right, I'm honored that a take

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: I had is good enough. The take is strong enough

95
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: to still have legs later in the day.

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: Poor Ben Mallard. I liked the guy, in fact, one

97
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 4: of the nicest dudes here at Fox Sports Radio. But

98
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: I saw a clip on our Socials and it was

99
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: his take on Petalonzo and the minute I saw him, like, oh,

100
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hate this take, and you know what, you

101
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: could say that Ben Mallow and dummy fishing and caught me.

102
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: WHOA, that's that means that's a quality take, right? That

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: takes got a good sholf life. A lot of the

104
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: takes die on the vine. That takes don't survive the day,

105
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 3: but that take.

106
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Had a pulse. Yeah. If nobody's talking about you and

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: then you're doing something wrong, yeah.

108
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, And listen, people are entitled to be wrong. I

109
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: of course am not, but other people can be wrong,

110
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: and so I'm fine with it. I think it's it's great.

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: And I remember years ago I had an epiphany. It

112
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: was actually when I was filling in at WI I

113
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: was doing. I was like a nighttime filling guy remotely

114
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: for we on Boston, and there were some days and

115
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: you know what this is, like, Daddy, some days you'd

116
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: come in and you're like, man, yes, it's kind of

117
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: like we're in famine right now. You know, It's like

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: those things aren't going particularly great now. It's never that bad,

119
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: but when you have a national show, there's always plenty

120
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: of stuff. But if you have to do a central

121
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: show for one city and there's not necessarily a lot

122
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: of stuff going on, you start to freak out little bit.

123
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's say some of those local guys make

124
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: things up sometimes out of necessity.

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to use we call that the straw man.

126
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: You make a straw man, you make an argument, then

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: fight against the argument which was totally made up in

128
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 3: your head.

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: But one of.

130
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: The tricks that I learned is a lot of times

131
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: what they would do is they would just do an

132
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: entire show dedicated to ripping a take that like Skip

133
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: Bayless or Steven Ahad, and it would be it would

134
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 3: be weaponizing a take, and they would do their entire

135
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: show based on that. Okay, so you know, I don't

136
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: do that that often, but I do dabble in the

137
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: fine art of repurposing a take.

138
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Gottlieb actually has a feature on the network he does

139
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: weekly called what does the Fox Say? So he actually

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: made a segment out of this CNR. They don't do

141
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: this often, but once in a while something will catch

142
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: their attention and they asked me to grab the audio. Yeah,

143
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: so it's all.

144
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: It's all good and not list I will react tongue

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: in cheek and make references to Colin Cowherd or Dan

146
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: Patrick or somebody like that, you know, usually about how

147
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: much money they make, but that but that's fine. Whatever,

148
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: it's all.

149
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: That's all good.

150
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you don't need to send me any more emails.

151
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: And I love the fact that you're listening to Covino

152
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: and Rich and in our show and uh, and that

153
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: you're you're ready to pounce at any moment and send

154
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: me a message, So I appreciate that. I did want

155
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: to also mention on the way back, we talked yesterday

156
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: a little bit about my trip to Vegas and our

157
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: new favorite hotel in Vegas and winning some money and

158
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: yet again leaving town. I ended up i'd bet the

159
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: over in the Dodger Dodger cardinal game last Saturday. Uh,

160
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: bet the bet the over and the game was like scoreless,

161
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: I think going to the fifth inning. So I'm like

162
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: it was like eight and a half and I was like, oh,

163
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going to win this, you know, no chance.

164
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: And there was like a.

165
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: Rain delay and then they ended up and ended up

166
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: going over the total unreal craziness. So I gotta go

167
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: back again. But on the way out of Sin City,

168
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: leaving Vegas, it was kind of a rainy day.

169
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: That kind of it was.

170
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: It was a rainy day, like just a light rain,

171
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: a light drizzle in Vegas on Saturday. Now I had

172
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: told the wife, I said, you know, I don't know,

173
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: we're going to be driving through the desert. It's to cool,

174
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: wet kind of a day. We might end up getting

175
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: some snow. And the wife's like, no, come on. So

176
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: it's late March, not getting any snow. We're fine, nothing

177
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: to worry about. So we're driving through the desert. We

178
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: get out to Prim, beautiful Prim, Nevada right there on

179
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: the border, and we cross over and so light rain.

180
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: It's probably in the low fifties, maybe fifty three degrees.

181
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: In fact, I think it's exactly fifty three degrees as

182
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: I looked at the dashboard. So we're driving, we're driving,

183
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: we're driving, and we get out of Prim. We're in

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: the California Desert. Count of your Death Valley not that

185
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: far away from prim by the way, we're not quite

186
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: not in Baker, but we're out in that dead man's

187
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: own and we're going up there's altitude, and it's getting

188
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: colder and colder and colder and colder. And it went

189
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: from fifty three degrees.

190
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: To thirty degrees.

191
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: So I ask you, Danny, as a meteorologist, if there's

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: a light rain and it's fifty three degrees, it's a

193
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: light rain. If there's a light rain and it's thirty degrees,

194
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: what happens to that light.

195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: Rain, Danny? What? We hardly ever see it in California. Yeah,

196
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: it was crazy.

197
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: It's like snowing. It wasn't a lot of snow and

198
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: it only lasted for about fifteen minutes.

199
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: But it was crazy though. Yeah, it was ever say that.

200
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: I was sticking to the cactus on the side of

201
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: the road and stuff, and it was pretty bizarre.

202
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, that's wild, man.

203
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: I was like, I want to stop and do a

204
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: dopey YouTube video or Instagram whatever it.

205
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Was, see exactly where you were. I've seen a lightning

206
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: storm before on a road trip with my cousin, and

207
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: that was creepy, you know. You're in the middle of

208
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: nowhere basically, and the lightning was hitting the ground. I

209
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: think it would freak me out more if I saw

210
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: snow falling.

211
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not expecting to drive in snow. And then

212
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: you're like, well, do I have the proper tires? Do

213
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 3: I need to go to tire rack dot com to

214
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 3: get some new tires. I don't think they'll the libor

215
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: on that quick, you know. Yeah, it's that kind.

216
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: So you could say, you could say, Iowa, Sam says

217
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: you need one more.

218
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 3: No comment, But you could say that that was a

219
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: Murphy's loss situation, Danny driving back and then having the

220
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: rain come down and in that the snow, and now

221
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: that it wasn't all that, do it.

222
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: We have fifteen minutes left, He'll do it.

223
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: So we got to Baker, home of the Mad Greek

224
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: with the nine dollars Shake the Mad Greek or whatever

225
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: it is, and all lanes on the other side of

226
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: the fifteen freeway that goes from La to Vegas all

227
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: lanes completely closed. There's a massive accident. The backup it went,

228
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: it seemed like it went like for eight or nine miles.

229
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: Cars just backed up. People were out playing catch or

230
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 3: were having a catch on the side of the road.

231
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: People were standing on their cars, people were chatting with

232
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: each other. It was wild.

233
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: He saw Kevin Costner and his dad throwing the ball around.

234
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was like the Field of Dreams and

235
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: all that. So it's like it was bad enough we

236
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: went through the snow, but it could have been worse.

237
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: It could have been worse, but that was for them.

238
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't Murphy's law situation.

239
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm calling this Murphy's Law because of our

240
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: text messaging. While I was in Las Vegas, I made

241
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: the executive decision that I was not going to gamble

242
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: again on boxing because my very first bet, my very

243
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: first legal bet in Los Wages, Nevada. It was last

244
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: September when I was there for another boxing match with

245
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich and we broadcasted live from the radio

246
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: row there inside MGM, and it was this great Canelo

247
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: fight that wasn't great, but we lost the bet. So

248
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: all of us left that fight with our heads down.

249
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: The previous two fights prior to that, the guys had won.

250
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess we got some money here.

251
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: They each like put fifty bucks in and I think

252
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: the payout was like seven hundred or something like that,

253
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: and they split the winnings. So I'm like, all right,

254
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: I'll do that, and of course we lost. Nobody made money.

255
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: I actually, the second time I gambled in Vegas, I

256
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: won some money on football, so that was great. But

257
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: with boxing, I'm like, I'm going to stay away from it.

258
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about boxing. You know, Coveno is

259
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: a box guy, so I was listening to what he

260
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: had to say. Kil you get more rotation with two hands.

261
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: This guy named Roly Romero. What would you call a

262
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: loud mouth in sports? Ben uh? Blow hard? A blowhard,

263
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: perfect way to describe Roi. So he gets on our

264
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: live broadcast Friday, grabs his headset and he says, this

265
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: is now the ROI show. Pound in his chest and

266
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: he's calling this pit bull guy he was gonna fight against.

267
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: He calls him a bum, talks about how short his

268
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: arms are, that he's not even gonna be able to

269
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: reach him in the ring, and he said he was

270
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: a midget. All this stuff on the air. We had

271
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: to dump this guy like five times, by the way.

272
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: So he's just going on and on about how amazing

273
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: he is and how much this pit bull guy is

274
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: a scrub. Well, afterwards, Covino said, Hey, you know, I

275
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: know he's very convincing, but this little pit bull boxer

276
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: out of Mexico, he has a compact punch like Mike Tyson.

277
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: He's coming to knock, roll, block off. So I'm still

278
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna put my money on him. So right after the

279
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: live broadcast, Coveno looks for the sports book and he says,

280
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna make this bet. Now you choose.

281
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: Do I go left and follow Coveno and get in

282
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: on it, or do I go right and get a

283
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: slice of pie and go back up to my hotel room. Yeah,

284
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: so you're thinking the pie.

285
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: You're going pie?

286
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah?

287
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: Pie?

288
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I went pie. So I got a slice of New

289
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: York pizza there, what they called New York pizza. The

290
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: whole time I'm thinking though, like dang it. But I'm like, nah,

291
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: stay away from it, Just stay away from it. We

292
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: get to the fight Saturday evening. Officially it was a

293
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: technical knockout, and it was Roly face down, crying almost

294
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: because this pit bull kid just obliterated him. From the

295
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: first round. Roly had wobbly legs. He rebounded nicely, to

296
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: turn it into an eight round fight, but Roly in

297
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: his big mouth lost slap me around a little bit.

298
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Coveno one for one on his parlay. Now the next fight,

299
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: this big tall Fundora dude from Mexico against the short

300
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Australian guy. The Australian guy gets a cut on his

301
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: head from an elbow. That's a lot, there's It was

302
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: a literal bloodbath, ben, So we don't know what's gonna happen.

303
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Is is the medical team gonna stop this thing? They

304
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: did not. The guys went the distance. Big Fundora wins.

305
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: He now gets the belt, and that was the other guy.

306
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Covino shows. So Coveno's jumping up and down because he

307
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: just won four hundred and fifty dollars. I am such

308
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: a radio loser, damn it. I had told you prior

309
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: to the trip, I said, I don't think I'm gonna

310
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: bet with the guys this time. And what did you

311
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: tell me? Yeah, I said you.

312
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: I don't remember exactly what I said, but I think

313
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: it was something, why, well, you're gonna end up winning,

314
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: They're gonna win the bet or something like that.

315
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you said they're gonna definitely win it's

316
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: Murphy's law.

317
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I used Murphy's I don't remember using

318
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: Murphy's law, but yeah, yeah, And that happens. I can't

319
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: tell you how many times that has happened over the years,

320
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: where like I'm thinking, Okay, there's something I like, a

321
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: game I like, and then I don't bet it because

322
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm afraid I'm gonna lose. And then the

323
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: games you don't bet you almost always win.

324
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: You almost always win. It's nuts and the question learned

325
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: my lesson. Look, I could live without that fifty dollars,

326
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: but can I live without the four hundred and fifty dollars?

327
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 4: No?

328
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 3: The question is this, though, next time you go to

329
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: Vegas with Colvino and Rich, will you be back in

330
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: or are the odds now against you? Since they won

331
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: this time, they probably won't win the next time because

332
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: you don't usually win back to back.

333
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to borrow Looney from you as my penny,

334
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna flip loony. Yeah, it's a coin flip.

335
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: It's always a maybe he'll bring the penny shirt that

336
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: he wore on TV that.

337
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe he'll wear his green shirt against a green.

338
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: Street, which he did multiple times. I had to bring

339
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: bring multiple shirts because you didn't know. You couldn't tell

340
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: whether there was enough green in it.

341
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: It would ruin the greens. Benny Benny in the Floating Head.

342
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: Tom Looney owns me I'm his bitch, clearly without a doubt.

343
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh god, unreal. Uh oh, you know I I did

344
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: have a person email me this week, Danny that said

345
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: they wanted me to go back in depth on the

346
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: pink Box. Put in the box, the pink Box. So

347
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: we've talked about this in the past. I'll just do

348
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 3: it real quick. So this is a great southern California story, Danny,

349
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: the donut shops.

350
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Pink Box. I remember you explaining this. Yeah, we've we've

351
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: done it.

352
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: We did a while ago, and uh I briefly mentioned

353
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 3: it on the Overnight Show this week. And so, of course,

354
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: as always happens, inevitably, somebody will email this podcast.

355
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: And say, hey, you kind of mentioned that, but you

356
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: didn't really get a detail. I want to hear more

357
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: about that, And rather.

358
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Than me telling them to go back download a podcasts

359
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: from two years ago, I'm just you know, I'm doing

360
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: it right now. So the legend that in the the

361
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: not the early days, because this was you know, Southern

362
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: California has been around for a long time, but years

363
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 3: and years ago. It's probably goes back around fifty years ago,

364
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 3: maybe forty five years around fifty. So the donut shops,

365
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: there were a large group of Cambodian refugees that all

366
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 3: got into donut shops. This was their way to make

367
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: a lot of money in America. So they owned a

368
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: bunch of donut shops.

369
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: They saw the fat Asses and Copps here in La.

370
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: So and one of the donut shop owners in Southern California,

371
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: he asked west Co Printing West Co Printing. He said, listen,

372
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a struggling business owner. I don't have

373
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: a lot of money. Is there any way I can

374
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 3: get a cheaper box, because they were using the regular

375
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: white box for donuts, the standard white cardboard box. And

376
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: they're like, anything, you can cut me a break. I can't.

377
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: I just we don't have a lot of money. And

378
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 3: so the one of the people there, the vendor, said

379
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: you know what I think, I think we I can.

380
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: Cut you a deal.

381
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: And so he he went in the bag and there

382
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 3: were some leftover pink cardboard boxes in the corner of

383
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: the warehouse and he's like, oh, yeah, i'll give you

384
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: these for you know, I'll give you these for less,

385
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: because you know, we have to throw these away. And

386
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: he's like, well, why do you why do you have

387
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: to throw them away? As as well? These were supposed

388
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: to be red boxes, but the there was a printer

389
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: error and they didn't put enough of the right mix

390
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: of the color in there, so they came back pink.

391
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: So instead of read, they were pink, and so the

392
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: customer didn't want them. So we just have all these

393
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: pink boxes, and so we'll give them to you for

394
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 3: whatever it was, I don't know exact price. And so

395
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: the guy took it and then it was a very

396
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: popular donut shop and it just over the years it

397
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 3: just became associated with baked goods.

398
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's always you're always jealous, Like when I

399
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: see somebody walking with a pink box to their car,

400
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, leaving a little plaza here in La Yeah,

401
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: I'm always like, man, what kind of donuts do they

402
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: pick in that box?

403
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: Well, and I know you're on a diet, and good

404
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: for you, Danny. But in Vegas, the one of the

405
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 3: donut shop chains there is pink Box, which they just

406
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 3: named it, and it's really good. It's a good donut

407
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: chain in Vegas, and I think it's in some other cities.

408
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, my new tradition since we drive to Vegas

409
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: is in prim we normally stopped to go to the

410
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: bathroom and then they have a Pink Box donut shop.

411
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, we drove back on Easter weekend and it

412
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: turns out people really like to give donuts on Easter

413
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: because there were they were totally empty. There was hardly

414
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: any donuts left by the time we got in there,

415
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 3: and I was like, it's crazy. I was like, I

416
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: was like, I want my apple fritter, and there was

417
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: no apple fritter. They were out of everything.

418
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: You got crickets.

419
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: So we had to go to a different donut shop

420
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 3: to get my my fix, my apple fritter fix.

421
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: For the day.

422
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: So what else do we have? There's a few other

423
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: things I wanted to get to on the Saturday.

424
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: Pod daydreaming about apple fritters. Now, thank you, I'm so bastard.

425
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: They are.

426
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: They're my new favorite. I was always team cinnamon Roll,

427
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: but now I've crossed over.

428
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I'm definitely in the closet.

429
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: Let's get to the idiom of the week.

430
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: Idiom of the week, not idiot, idiom idiot.

431
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 3: Now let me point out, Danny that this is something

432
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: that you might not even know what this term is,

433
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: but it's an old colloquial baseball term.

434
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: And since yesterday.

435
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 3: Alf Alf had me go down a rabbit hole for

436
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 3: the phrase of the week, which was a Texas leaguer.

437
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: And if you forgot, we mentioned this guy, Ollie Pickering,

438
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 3: who great player from the Texas League, and they named

439
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: the Texas Leaguer is named after Olie.

440
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Right after the show yesterday, I went down and got

441
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: his baseball card. Yeah, I'm sure you.

442
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: So today on the Saturday Pod, we have a Baltimore chop.

443
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: Do you even know what that is?

444
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: It's a baseball term, Danny, Do you know what a

445
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: Baltimore chop is? A Baltimore chop is a chopper that

446
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 3: takes a high bounce right in front of home plate

447
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 3: and allows the rudder to reach first. Basically goes so

448
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 3: far up in the air. Just imagine hitting the ball

449
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: so hard into the ground. It bounces up like it's

450
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: a fly, but it hit the ground, so you still

451
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: have to catch it and throw and all that. It's

452
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: called the Baltimore chop. So, as you might imagine, it

453
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: actually originated from Indianapolis, Indiana. No, it came from Baltimore,

454
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 3: of course. And this is from the late nineteenth century,

455
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: the Orioles. All right, so you realize you're like the

456
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: only guy left that uses that technology. Yeah, what do

457
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: you think about the oil?

458
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: That is a classic.

459
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: The Orioles. This was in the dead ball era, and

460
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 3: nobody was scoring many runs in the dead ball era,

461
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: and so the Orioles came up with this conniving plan.

462
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: They had this brilliant plan, the Orioles. And what they

463
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 3: did is they instructed the grounds crew. Of course I

464
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: say grounds crew. There was probably one guy that was

465
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 3: like a gardener that they had on the payroll. But

466
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: they instructed the groundskeeper to pack the dirt in front

467
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: of home plate so that the guys that were really

468
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: fast could just hit the ball on the ground. And

469
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: they had John McGraw second, John McGrath reference this weekend

470
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 3: and we Willie Heeler, healer we Willy Keeler, I believe

471
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: it is how he was called. Now, the legend is

472
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: that the Baltimore Orioles actually put a concrete slab. They

473
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: put dirt over it, but they put a concrete slab in.

474
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Front of home plate a bunch of cheaters.

475
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: That's like something the ass holes. I don't have to pause,

476
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: it's a podcast and I can just say a holes

477
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 3: sounds sounds. It's not gonna be careful because then next

478
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: week on the radio say.

479
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: As holes in your head.

480
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: Lyn Loraino will freak out, But I don't think she'll

481
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: freak out. The only one that used to freak out

482
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: was Iowa Sam. I don't think she'll freak out.

483
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: I think she'll be She'll be okay, She'll just belly

484
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: laugh and then hit the dump button.

485
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 3: Yeah after after. That's like my favorite show. When I

486
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: was a kid, My favorite radio show this Jim Healy Show.

487
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 3: And he would play all these sound bites and he

488
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: learned actually I met a few people that worked with him,

489
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: and and heally knew that as long as there was

490
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 3: a bleep in there somewhere, people would just assume that

491
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: the word was bleep. But he would often put the

492
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: bleep after the word, like the word fuck, and he

493
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: hear it fuck and then you hear the bleep.

494
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: And he got away with it, he.

495
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: Got away with it, he was able to finagle the system.

496
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: I've actually I've you told that story a couple of

497
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: years ago, so as an ode to him, I've done

498
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: that on this very podcast before. Fuck yeah, it's a

499
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: way to go.

520
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: those attorneys on a big billboard.

521
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,320

522
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: there's got to be a lawsuit. It says on the

523
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: ticket that if a ball goes into the stands, you're

524
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: allowed to keep the ball. Everyone knows the rules, right,

525
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:07,840

532
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: You're a people's person. What are the Dodgers something like that?

533
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: I mean, the way that story was written, it sounded

534
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: like the Dodgers are like the mob running a casino

535
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: in the in the nineteen forties. You know, it's like,

536
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: what are you in Vegas?

537
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:35,879

Speaker 1: You know what they told her? They said, We're going

540
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: to make you an offer that you cannot refuse.

541
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: I mean, would it come on, hey man.

542
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: You got a job baseball and two hats? Oh maybe

543
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: to get season tickets out.

544
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: I would at least season tickets.

545
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: I would have demanded season seats, a weekend trip with

546
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: show Hey to the Shoemash Casino, because you know he

547
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,360

548
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have a sports book, so you'd have

549
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: to go to.

550
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: And I would have I would have demanded credentials, media

551
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: credentials for Ben Maller and Danny g Yeah. Well, I

552
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: forget that.

553
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: I'm boycotting. Unless Marlon Man, Marlin's Man brings me out there,

554
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: then maybe I'll show up. But other than that, I'm good.

555
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: And that ball, Danny.

556
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: You think about Otani and how crazy people are in

557
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: Japan for Otani?

558
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: Oh, can you imagine that?

559
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: Is if you auction that baseball off, that's that's a

560
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: that's a six figure I'd say two hundred thousand at least.

561
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I heard in his native country within a couple of

562
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: hours they replayed that home run on TV there thirty

563
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: five times. They are obsessed with him, like we can't

564
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: even describe how I mean, it would be like, I

565
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: don't know, Bo Jackson. What's even more more than that?

566
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: What's one cutting into broadcasts? Yes, that's what it reminds

567
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: me of exactly.

568
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: You tell people, First of all, you tell people that

569
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: there was a point everyone watched the nightly news. People

570
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: are blown away by that. People watch the nightly news. Yeah, yeah,

571
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: they They had Peter Jennings on ABC. They had Dan

Speaker 3: Rather and Tom Broka and those were the big big

573
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 3: ankles anchors at the CBO.

574
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're if you're too young to remember this.

575
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: We would be watching whatever it was on TV and

576
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: they would interrupt the program and say Mark McGuire is

577
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: stepping up to the plate right now. It was so cool.

578
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: But even at the nightly news, they'd say, here's the

579
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: news in America. Home run Chase at Bush Stadium in

580
