00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: got hired, he knew eventually he would be part of

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: just don't tell them. Yeah, No, I I know. I'm

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: really bad with dates. I think everyone is around my age.

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: I always do, even when they're a lot older or

78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: a lot younger. I just assume people are kind of

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: around my age, and I'm bad, as I said, with dates.

80
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: So when did you start at Fox Sports Radio. I

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: remember in the early days you were there pretty early

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: on at Fox Sports Radio, and then yeah, you went

83
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: to work with a dog just which we'll talk about

84
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: a little bit later. But when did that, When did

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: you begin you remember like roughly what year it was. Yeah,

86
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: I believe it was two thousands. Um I started. I

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: believe it was. I'll get the two thousands. I know.

88
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: It's like two weeks after the network started when I

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: showed up and UM, they put me on overnight weekends

90
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: and that's how we ended up meeting up. I was

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: a board op for Oh my goodness, who was very

92
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: board opping for at that point. There's so many people.

93
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: Steve Mason, I believe it was UM And yeah, that

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: was that was a little rocky, but that didn't end well.

95
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I I was very opinionated at that time.

96
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I think I was a little more rough around the

97
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: edges and didn't take as much crap from anybody at

98
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: that time in my life. But I've since calmed down.

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: But that's when I started around that time, and it

100
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: drew it to be a full time gig and I

101
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: have worked for them. To everybody on a network at

102
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, and there's not many left right at that.

103
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a long long time ago, and I

104
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: we were you the board op, the Steve Mason who's

105
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: now for those that have lost track, he does a

106
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: show in l A still and then on the afternoon drive.

107
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that amazing. I don't know Mason Ireland

108
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: been on forever. Yeah, so I don't know they're on

109
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: some day part during the day when I'm sleeping there

110
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: on or whatever. Fine, But so so anyway, there was

111
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: a Steve Mason show, and I actually brought this up

112
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: to Mason a couple of years ago. He had Jim

113
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Bouten on, but he thought it was Jim Bowdend Okay, yeah, yeah,

114
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: this is one of this is one of the great

115
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: bloopers in the history of Fox Sports Radio. And I

116
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: don't know Steve's upset I'm bringing this up, but it's

117
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. I think the statue of limitations has

118
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: run out right, Jake on this. Yeah, So I remember

119
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: I was there that night too, so we were both

120
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: there and we both witnessed. Yeah, it was an amazing

121
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: It was an amazing interview because I've had this happen

122
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: to me, but it wasn't ever as awkward as this.

123
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: So Macon and was interviewing what he thought was Jim Boughten,

124
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: the guy that wrote the book Ball four Right, wasn't

125
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: he the guy from the book? Yeah? And and if

126
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: you're if you're unfamiliar with the book Ball four. It

127
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: was a legendary book about all the kind of debauchery

128
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: that the Yankees. This guy he wrote he documented all

129
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: the things that the guys were doing for one one season, right,

130
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: I think it was with he was on the Seattle Pilots,

131
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I think, and then he went to the Yankees, if

132
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. Anyway, he I don't know all the details.

133
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm just talking out of my toshoet, but I know

134
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 1: the book was about all the nonsense that the guys

135
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: were doing off the field, and you know the why.

136
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: I think the big thing on that book was the

137
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: wife swapping. Uh yeah. Anyway, so Mason, again, he didn't

138
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: realize he was talking to that guy. He thought he

139
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: was talking to Jim Bowden, who who was the general

140
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: manager of the what was he the Cincinnati Reds at

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: the time, I think it was at the time. Yeah.

142
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: So so Mason's doing the interview and he's he thinks

143
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: he's talking to you know, guy A, and he's talking

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to guy B. You know, and that didn't that didn't

145
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: go so well. And uh but then Boughten, who's a

146
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think he passed away a couple years.

147
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: Total jokes, total jokes, and yeah, yeah totally went with it. Yeah,

148
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: and he starts, he starts talking like he's he realizes

149
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Mason doesn't realize he who he is, and so he

150
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: starts giving these outrageous answers. Remember with every question, if

151
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: I if I remember correctly, like every answer got more ridiculous. Yeah,

152
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: it was getting here and trade here. And I remember

153
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: the producer's name was Josh Rimmer. His dad actually is

154
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: um TV guy for the Columbus Blue Jackets uh NHL,

155
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: and he's the one that was producing that night. And

156
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: I said, Josh, I don't think this is who you

157
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: think of this? Like I knew right away. I was

158
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: like this, he's answering these questions. Weird. This isn't right.

159
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: He's going it's him, it's him. I'm like, I think

160
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: you got the wrong guy. And in the top back us,

161
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: this totally isn't who I think it is. Yeah, everyone

162
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: picked up on it. So even though joke, Mason picked

163
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: up on it, and then he starts going with it too.

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: This is a weird set of events after that, man,

165
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll remember that night. Yeah, Yeah, that was

166
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: one of the funny stories that in those days in

167
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: Fox Busts Radio. I think Bowden had Ken Griffey Jr.

168
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Was on the Reds at the time, and I think

169
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: he had him traded. I think, if I remember correctly,

170
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: there was something with Griffy that had come up in

171
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: that in that time period. So I remember you were

172
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: with me on the weekend overnights early on, and remember

173
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: when the network started, there was no weekend overnight show.

174
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: When I started, they had put tape programming on the overnights,

175
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: and then I I was given the weekend overnight show

176
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: and we were on no affiliates. There was hardly anyone listening,

177
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: and it was pretty much just throwing stuff against the

178
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: wall at that particular point in the early days, and

179
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: we were on enough. If I remember the early affiliates,

180
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: we're like Binghamton, New York. Pittsburgh was the first Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah,

181
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: there were like a few random scattered affiliates. But no,

182
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: it was it was it was kind of like a

183
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: private conversation, right Jack. No one was really no one

184
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: was listening at that's us talking with the mics on

185
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: and people just happened to listen, you know. Binghamton New

186
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: York was always representing you know, uh that in the

187
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: one commercial we always used to play in Housecat Yes, yes, yes,

188
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: everyone yeah, left me my better dreams. I still hear

189
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: that damn song. Um. But those were fun days because

190
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: we could do anything we wanted and nobody was listening. Upstairs.

191
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: They're all asleep or under you know, actification homes when

192
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: we're there are yachts because you know, they were making

193
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: the big money. We were over there swimming in the studio.

194
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: But that was a lot of fun. We got away

195
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of stuff and something I couldn't do nowadays,

196
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: and that's what made it a lot of fun. And

197
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, before I became friends with you, I was

198
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: always a fan of yours, you know, living in the

199
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: l A. Are you listening to you and Dave Smith

200
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 1: on the Extra Sports eleven fifty? I was a p

201
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: one back then, and uh I was listening. I listened

202
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: every day and I still here the last track that

203
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: you guys would play after everything. But I love the show.

204
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: And then when I found out you were coming over,

205
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: I was like cool. And then I found out I

206
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: was gonna work with you, and we both were big

207
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: fans of Jimmy Hilly here in l A. And you know,

208
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: so it's like, hey, you got sound effects playing them,

209
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, jigging ball, the old you know, funny stuff

210
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: in Tono Losorda, And I was like, man, I'm right

211
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: there with you. So I would kind of just gauge

212
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: when you were doing with certain things and I would

213
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: be able to play something the right when I just

214
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: saw your eyes, you know, like what you or what

215
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: do you want it? Or you'll treat you with your voice?

216
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: And you bought and so that actually helped me grow

217
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and I had a good time and taught me how

218
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: a lot of our radio you know, behind the scenes. Um,

219
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: but you allow me a lot of creative freedom and

220
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: and that's what made it fun. It was a lot

221
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: of fun working. Yeah, I love I love the j

222
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: and people ask about the show and I did goofy stuff.

223
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Back in the nineties, we got away with a lot

224
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: of stuff. And before I got the Fox Sports Radio

225
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: was much different. People were not all uptight. You could

226
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: goof around and you know, people were fine with it.

227
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: Now people and I think most people are still okay

228
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: with it, but there's just enough people that complain that

229
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not it's not the same. But yeah,

230
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: when when we were on the weekend overnights and people

231
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: ask about the Mallary militia and all that stuff. That

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: all started on the weekend overnights because we were we

233
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: started picking up more radio stations as the network started

234
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: to grow and more people kind of heard the show

235
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: and got the show. And but we we, you know,

236
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: we we just would look for anyone. I remember that

237
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: when people would call up. We were shocked that anyone

238
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: called up because we weren't on anywhere. So I and

239
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: then we would just start I would just start blabbing

240
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: with people. And that's that's how we the show kind

241
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: of morphed into we Genie and Medford and some of

242
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: the people. Doc Mike. You were there when Doc started

243
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: calling the show, And oh yeah that I'm trying to

244
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: think of the early caller we had, Doc Mike Cowboys

245
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: been calling forever. He's he still calls me. He's still

246
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: called yeah he Oh that guy and nothing would shake him. Man.

247
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: I would play so many crazy sound effects and trying

248
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: to throw him off, and he was so dedicated and

249
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: it used to make me mad. I think I got

250
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: him one time when I DoD like I made sure

251
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: the whole world knew. I was happy about it. Yeah, well,

252
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: and that's great because you can explain Jake as the

253
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: producer engineer what lay too cow We had Cowboys Corner,

254
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: and then over there, over time it morphed in You're

255
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: just playing a bunch of sound effects while Cowboy drones

256
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: on about who died this week in sports and what

257
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: his junior high school teacher told him when he was

258
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, and he was late to school one day,

259
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: like all that stuff. The magic of Cowboy John Brad.

260
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: But he was pretty monotone, right, He's always been monotone,

261
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: and so, yeah, exactly, it was kind of weird. But

262
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to throw him off because like you would

263
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of be funny, Well you're always funny to me,

264
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: but like you would be funny and like tough, like

265
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: over him to the audience, and he would never pick

266
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: it up, something like well and then it's talking over

267
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: him and he doesn't pick it up. I would trying

268
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: to throw him off. So I would play sound effects,

269
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'd hear certain things he would say and

270
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: try to find like the sound effects that would match it,

271
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: and it would throw him off. So My goal after

272
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: that was to make sure I could break him. And

273
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: I say thousands, you know, hundreds of calls, thousands of

274
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: calls that I sat in and did the show not

275
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: after night. Um. One time I got him, and I

276
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: think there was like a streaming lady or something or

277
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, some crazy drop and he just stopped and

278
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: he kind of chuckled, like I got him, I got him, Gotti. Gotti. Yeah,

279
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: I am stunted, Jake. I am stunned, Jake, Jake. I

280
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: am stunned that he still called after all these years

281
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: he's had he had a stroke, he said COVID, like

282
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: I know the whole Cowboys story. I know all the

283
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: ailments he's had. I remember when he was on uh,

284
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: the CBC in Canada did a story about him. They

285
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: called him the Handsome hoarder, I think, or he called

286
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: himself the handsome horder and he the Canadian government had

287
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: to like take him out of his home in Windsor

288
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: because he had so much like stuff, newspapers that he

289
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: had piled up. And he is living in Squalor and

290
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: and but he's still he always found a way to

291
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: call the show, until at one point he stopped for

292
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: a while because he didn't have phone service. I guess

293
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: because he phone got cut off. He had so much stuff,

294
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: but it was it was crazy. And then some of

295
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the I'm trying some of the other called Pete, and

296
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was also there in the day. Another one, he's

297
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: another one, yeah, knucklehead. Then his head got big because

298
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, I started going on Howard Stern, you know,

299
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: so he thought it was too good to call the

300
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: Big Manage Show. And I'm like, bro, you're Pete and

301
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh nobody gives a rat's ass who the hell you are?

302
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: And we used to battle on Twitter all the time

303
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: until one day he was just like here, man, I'm sorry.

304
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: I didn't need to be mean to you. So yeah,

305
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: well Pete, Pete, yeah exactly. Pete became one of Stern's

306
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: whack pack guys and he called us before he called Stern,

307
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: and he the Stern used to put him on. I

308
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: will give Pete credit though, when I got whacked from

309
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio in oh nine and I was I

310
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: was like bummed out and I was like this sucks.

311
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Pete in Pittsburgh called the Howard Stern Show and dropped

312
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: my name and talked to Howard about about me because

313
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: there a bunch of people got laid off and let

314
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: go at that time. And uh so, I I I

315
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: appreciate Pete because I didn't hear it live, but I had.

316
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: I have a lot of relatives that were, you know,

317
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: big Stern fans and still are big Sterns fans, and

318
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: so they heard my name and then they're wait a minute,

319
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: were they talking about you? And uh so that was

320
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. Pete does not call anymore. I

321
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: did reach out to Pete in Pittsburgh recently, somewhat recently

322
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: about coming on the podcast. I thought I would shoot

323
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: the shoot the ship with him Jake on the podcast. Yes, yes, yes,

324
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: we are allowed. It's the reason I do the podcast. Jake.

325
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: You can say naughty words, you can't stay on radio.

326
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: So but now Pete we were. I was like, hid

327
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: Pete come on the show? And I called Pete up.

328
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: It was kind of late at night. He's in Pittsburgh.

329
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: He is stinking drunk, he says. He's walking on the

330
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: side of the highway there in in Pittsburgh, just kind

331
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: of wandering around. He started screaming my name. It was

332
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: he was not in good shape. Jake he was not

333
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: in good. Now. I hope that was just a bad

334
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: night and and things are better for Pete, but he

335
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: was not not doing particularly well that night. Here's another

336
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: blast in the past, Jake. And these are all names

337
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: that the listener might not realize if you're listening to

338
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: this Podcastler, I don't know who that is, but these

339
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: are these are called We had Troy the gambling man,

340
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: who was Yeah, Troy drove a sweeper truck around Nashville,

341
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: and and and again, Jake. The point of all this,

342
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: we put these people on right because we just I

343
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: was just looking for people. Anybody that called up, we

344
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: want when I want to hear the story. You wanted

345
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: to have some fun, you know, change it up a

346
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: little bit. And so that's that's what happened. And and

347
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: he would call up and give the worst gambling picks

348
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: of all time. And he was he was a terrible

349
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: gambler at handicapping NFL games. But he uh, he's like, oh,

350
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, I he thought he was great. And that's

351
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: the thing that made the bit. He thought he was

352
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: really good and he was not. But anyway, so you

353
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: you left FSR. Jake, it's all we gotta get back

354
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: to you, Jake. This is all about you. So you

355
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: left FSR and you got one of the great jobs

356
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: in broadcasting. You got to work for the Los Angeles

357
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers and travel the United States and the world with

358
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: Dodger baseball. And that was a great, wonderful What's the

359
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: coolest thing you got to experience when you were traveling

360
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, oh Man, so many, so many things

361
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I got to do. Um one of the coolest things was,

362
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell this story. I told it on my podcast,

363
00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: which is a big Jake podcast by the way, you know,

364
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it in. But the coolest moment, I mean,

365
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: of course seeing all the history ballparks, and luckily my

366
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: tenure there, I got to go to like Fenway, and

367
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I got to go to Wrigley, you know, and all

368
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: the great ballparks. But my favorite memory of working for

369
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers it was two thousand four. It was the

370
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: the game before last game of the year against the

371
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Giant and it was for the division. And as when

372
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: Steve Finley hit that Grand Slam to beat the Giants

373
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: and take the division. That day, Vin Scolly was doing

374
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: radio only it was just it was just then and

375
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: I in the booth um producer Tom Bowman was downstairs

376
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: ready for the champagne. Rick Monday was already downstairs. Ralphs

377
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Porter was downstairs. Everybody's downstairs, so it's just then and I.

378
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: As soon as Steve Finley hit the ball, then lost

379
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: the ball. I saw the ball and mccarl clus day,

380
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: it's way back and wherever it is. She looked at me,

381
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: and I'm doing the home run signal to him. You

382
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: know wherever it is, it's a grandfriend home run did

383
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: He laid out, turned his mic off, turn around and

384
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: look back to me, said Jake, Mike Shannons and St. Louis.

385
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: When we get there on me, thank you for saving

386
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: my bacon. Were right back to announcing like nothing happened.

387
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: That's awesome, that's great. Helped the great Vince Scully on

388
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: a home run call. That's a lot, that's what. When

389
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: then he was that the last year he did radio

390
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: only because he he didn't do that right, but it

391
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: was a simulcast off the TV for a while at

392
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: the last few years that he did it right. He

393
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: didn't just do the radio. He would I don't think

394
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: he did radio only at all. After like was it no, no, no, no, no, um,

395
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: you know, the only time he do radio only in

396
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: the playoffs, of course, but his last game was a

397
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: regular season game against the Giants in San Francisco, and

398
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: that's how he wanted to end it. So he pretty

399
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: much after that, like he didn't do any just like

400
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: radio only broadcast. Yeah. Yeah, when when I first started

401
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: years ago, um, in the mid nineties, he would do

402
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: radio when the games weren't on TV because not every

403
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: game was on TV. And it was one of my

404
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: my favorite memories. We were the Dodgers were in New

405
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: York at at Shasee Stadium and you know what a

406
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: crappy press boy almost yeah it was. It was horrible, Yeah,

407
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: I know. It was a horrible ballpark. It was. I

408
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: can't believe that was a New York City ballpark that

409
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: was newer, you know, at the time they built it.

410
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: It was the model ballpark. Supposedly was dump but but

411
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: it was a day games, very hot, humid in in

412
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: New York and in the summertime in like August. Just

413
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: always used to go in August in those days. And

414
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: so Vin was doing radio only and he was we

415
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: were in shorts. He had like they gave him some

416
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: Dodger shorts and he had a T shirt on, and

417
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: as it was, it was it was the wildest thing

418
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: to see the great Vince Scully and just going casually. Yeah,

419
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, because he always you were around him all

420
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: the time, He's always dressed up and looking good. And yeah,

421
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: if you saw him dressed down the only time, what

422
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: he would were dressed down with a polo shirt and slacks.

423
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: That was being dressed down for him. To me, that's

424
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: being dressed up. That's like fancy duds for me, because

425
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: you know the reason why I got in my radio

426
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: so I didn't have to wear a sup you know.

427
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: And I do have another I do have another crazy

428
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: n story story. Give it to me. I love any

429
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: Vince Scully story I want to hear. He actually saved

430
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: my life and this is a true story. Um. The

431
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: very first time I met Vin in a professional capacity,

432
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: because I met him being in the press box, you know,

433
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: he says hi, you know, that was the extent, and

434
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: that was already like I could die now. But the

435
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: first time I got to actually talk with him, we

436
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: were in Mexico City in two thousand three. It was

437
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: a spring training series against the Mets, and um, we

438
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: went to a soccer stadium to work and it was like,

439
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, in Mexico City, the elevation tired. In Denver,

440
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: there's like seven thousand feet. I'm asthmetic. There's no elevators,

441
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: and being an engineer, you have to like love all

442
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: this equipment, you know. So I'm my third trip up,

443
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm dying. It's hot, and I did right to the

444
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: boots where we work. Damn. I collapsed face first onto

445
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: the floor, hurt myself and I blacked out. The next

446
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: thing I feel is cold water going down my neck

447
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: and I are you okay? I was like, dude, I

448
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,200

Speaker 1: fall and then scared me. Are you okay? You must

452
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, and I don't do a good impersonation,

453
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: but I was like, holy shit, and he starts laughing.

454
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: And ever since then we had a really cool relationship,

455
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, so he would always say, hey,

459
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna die in front of me. What am

460
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: I gonna do here? Right? He's probably thinking, wait a minute,

461
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta do something. You can imagine how

462
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna play. Dodgers go to Mexico City and you

463
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: know engineer Jake Warnered, you know, if something happens and

464
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: in the booth and Vin's right there, oh man, that

465
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: would have been a big deal. That would have been crazy. Yeah,

466
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: it would have been news, you know, especially be in

467
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: a Mexico city. But that was that was another thing

468
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: that was cool. And and I think one plane ride, um,

469
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: he usually sat in the first class and then it

470
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: was like broadcasters, team staff and then the players are

471
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: in the back and Ross Porter would always trying to

472
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: sit next to him, like all the time. And but

473
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: in this particular moment I got on the plane, I

474
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: think we're heading even Denver. It was it had to

475
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: be a West coast city because Vinn never went past

476
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: Denver at that time. And he was like, hey, have

477
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: a seat. I'm like, oh, so maybe I'm just sitting

478
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: there before the flight takes off that I go in

479
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: the back, and I was like, let me put my

480
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: stuff in the back, good, and I'll come back and say, no,

481
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: sit here with me. I was like really, I was like, well,

482
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: Boody Dewerry, the old Travelague secretary God blessing Um. He

483
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: usually sat by Vin or it was Ross Porter, but

484
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: Billy didn't make that trip, and Ross is looking at

485
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: me and they just getting another seat. So for three

486
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: hours I got to suit with Vin and just talk

487
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: about Jackie Robinson and his days, you know, starting out

488
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, and that was something I wish I

489
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: had to take recorder for that conversation. And Billy he

490
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: mentioned Billy de Leary also he was with the team

491
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, right, wasn't he with the team? Yeah, he goes,

492
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: but he went back to the Dodger he was there.

493
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Very the skinniest man I ever came across in my life. Yeah,

494
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: like a small was extra large to him. You know,

495
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: I think it's such a security number was one. I

496
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: love Billy because he didn't take ship for nobody. He

497
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't care who you were, you know, but he always

498
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: looked out for me. When I needed something like tickets

499
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: for tonight, I got you young man. He could never

500
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: memorize the name for ship. No. No. He would always

501
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: take care of me and God bless us though. He

502
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: was one of the great people. And of course we

503
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: had like the great student ahand God bless him soul

504
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: as well. Probably with Rutching Vin and Student Ahan talked together.

505
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: That was pure comedy. Loved it. Oh, those the best

506
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: couple of seasons on my life. Highlight of my career

507
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: working with the Dodgers. Man Yeah, and uh Billy de Leary,

508
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: you know, hard edge, kind of Brooklyn guy, thin guy,

509
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: as he said. And when I started, when I first

510
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: started doing stuff with the Dodgers and I was we

511
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: were I would make the East coast trip because my

512
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: brother lived in in New York, so I'd go back

513
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: there and I could see him. And then when I

514
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: first started going, I don't know if this happened when

515
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: you were there, there were these old dudes that would

516
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: hang out in front of the hotel that we're like

517
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodger. They were kids when the Dodgers were playing

518
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and they'd show up. They were like the

519
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodger fan club and they'd hang out outside the hotel.

520
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: They get photos and autographs and it was it was crazy.

521
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that can't be many of those guys

522
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: left right at this point. Probably not, but yeah, I

523
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: mean just being in Bureau Beach. I know this is

524
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: so sinister, but it's perfect for the fifth. We'd be

525
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: sitting in the booth in Dodgertown and we're hearing ambulance

526
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: and you would say, oh no, we want to lost another.

527
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and everyone understands. It was all gray and

528
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: blue hair. Rarely you see somebody my age at Dodger Town,

529
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: you know. But well, well, yeah, and I've told this

530
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: story before Jack on the podcast. You'll appreciate this. I

531
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe I told it to you also on

532
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: the when I did your podcast, the Big Brother Jake Podcast.

533

00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was a bar restaurant they like live,

554
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: like live music, if I remember correctly. And Tommy's like,

00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: this is the spot, This is the spot you're gonna go.

00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: we walk in there and hand the goud Jake. The

559
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: youngest person in there was like in their early sixties.

560
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're like in our mid twenties. We're like,

561
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: what the heck? And this was the this was the

562
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: swinging Vero Beach bar, Jake. This was where the cool

563
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: the young people hang out in Vero was that. It

564
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: was that bar. I know, I've probably been all three

565
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: establishments that were in the fine night life of beach. Yeah.

566
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: So then we we left there and I think we

567
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: had to go to another It was at Port St. Lucy.

568
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: We went somewhere on that one of the Highway one

569
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: stops and we we we did find a bar that

570
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: there were a few younger people. The problem was the

571
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: younger people, the good looking women were hanging out with

572
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: the ball players that were in the party. They wanted

573
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: nothing to do with us. So that did not work out.

574
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: And that's where all the Mets players were in Port St. Lucy.

575
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly exactly. So you you

576
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: helped this podcast studio. You built this podcast, dude, this

577
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: is a product. I'm doing this from the Jake Warner

Speaker 1: want to thank you for that, Jake, because you pointed

580
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: me in the right direction. I had what I thought

581
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: was a podcast studio with a crappy microphone and a

582
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: couple of other things, but it was not broadcast quality.

583
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: But you, being a professional radio engineer and knowing good

584
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: audio quality, You've led me the right direction. I did

585
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: have to dust off my wallet, Jake, but I want

586
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,640

590
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: of my passions. You know, podcasting is the big thing now.

591
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,960

Speaker 1: are their podcast studios. Well, and this is this is

598
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: a little cottage industry, Jake. I think you should offer

599
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: this service to people. You are willing for a nominal

600
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: fee to help them out to build their podcast studio,

601
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: to make the podcast dreams come true. Well, you know,

615
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: is I always had my foot in radio. I was

00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: on my fourth season um with Clipper Nation and which

656
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: they've embraced me. And now, yeah, exactly you are. That's

657
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: your historian of the Lakers. But you have come and

658
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: seen the light, Jake. You have had the come to

659
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: come to Clipper Daryl moment here. You've moved over to

660
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: the to the dark side with the people's team here.

661
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: And I love it when I see you send someone

662
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: out on social media, and you are prolific on social media.

663
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: But when you said a positive message out about the Clippers,

664
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: that that warns my heart considering I know your past, Jake,

665
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: and I know because there there's a rule, as I

666
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: told you that to work at Fox Sports Radio, you

667
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: had to be like behind the glass. You had to

668
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: be like a Laker fan, and and that was required.

669
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: They wouldn't put you on its Lakers Raiders. Yes, it's

670
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: like you know, if you didn't meet that criteria, then

671
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, you weren't allowed to work the board producers

672
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: ever from out of state. So they were always like

673
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: different fans. But you know that was the prerequisite to

674
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: be a board off by Fox Sports Radio, which I

675
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: hate the Raiders. I'm a Charger fan. Raiders can kiss

676
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: my ass um you know, and I'm like your fan.

677
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: And Dodgers for sure. Loved the Dodgers. My grandfather, God

678
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: rest his soul. As soon as I was born, put

679
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: a doctor head on me, took a picture to leave

680
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: the Dodger for life. I don't care, you know so,

681
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: and he passed away right before I had a chance

682
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: to introduce the bed Scory. That's his favorite broadcast, you know. So. Yeah, man,

683
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: like deal with the Clippers, especially after last year and

684
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: witnessing what I witnessed with them going to the Western

685
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: Conference Final, I had never and I worked Kobe's last game,

686
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: which that was the loudest I've ever heard Staples Center,

687
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: the second loudest I ever heard the Staple and I'll

688
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: covered concerts there. I've covered Laker games, Cooper games, team games, everything.

689
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: I was very at the Stanley Cup final everything. When

690
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: the Clippers won against Dallas, the Dalla Utah to man,

691
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: that's how best of my brain is. Well, they beat

692
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: they beat Utah and then they they beat Dallas in

693
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: the first round. Utah, this is this is this is

694
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: the greatest moment. And Clippers they beat Dallas the first round,

695
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: which is not the greatest, mother but but beating Utah

696
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: when I got hurt, yeah okay, yeah yeah yeah okay.

697
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: So when they beat Utah and that buzzer went off,

698
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: I have never other than the Cody game Hurd Staple

699
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: Center as loud as it was. And my all my

700
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: friends called me sell out. All my friends are like,

701
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: you suck, I can't believe you. Trade it over and

702
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: Cooper Nation said, listen, we know you're a Laker fan,

703
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: but you worked for the greatest organization in l A.

704
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: We accept you into coopernation. So they embraced me, and

705
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: I think I got like four extra follows on Twitter

706
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: and Instagram through Cooper Nation. Like you know, I would

707
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: always kick the fan base down Oh that's a little

708
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: brothers JP. You guys are writing staples saying blah blah

709
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But these fans are so passionate and

710
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: they come in night and night out and cheer for

711
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: their squad, and they're always so cool. You know, I'm

712
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: high fiving people when I'm engineering the great noware eagle,

713
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, people are like, I'm high five on the crown.

714
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: I'm standing up getting excited. You know, it's crazy to see.

715
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: And then this is the thing I hate about Laker fans.

716
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: Laker fans will dress up in their jerseys and come

717
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: to a Cooper game and cheer against them. Like that's

718
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Man,

719
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: this comes from a guy to grow living the Lakers.

720
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: It's like, why don't you waste your time to go

721
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: to a Clipper game and boo them in your Laker game?

722
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: Cooper's getting that money, bro, what are you doing. I've

723
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: witnessed a lot of things Laker fans have done, the

724
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: Cooper fans, and it's embarrassing and it's sad, but you know,

725
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: I I love the gig. It's a lot of fun.

726
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: One I get to be with No Eagle every night,

727
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: the Great Adam Austin that does a pretty post game

728
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: show and we have a good time. We legit have

729
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: a good time every night. We laugh where the dance

730
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: and the music. We have a great time. It's it's

731
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: it's a great atmosphere. It's not all stuck up and

732
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: stuffy like a Laker game would be. And I'm on

733
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: my catch help for this being but I don't really

734
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: give it, damn, because Coliper Nation has embraced me. I've

735
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: embraced them and it's been fun. Man. It's a good writer.

736
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't want it to end. I want to stay

737
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: there until to keep me out well. And in a

738
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: couple of years you're gonna be at the taj Mahal.

739
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: That arena they're building in Inglewood is going to be insane.

740
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: And see, this is what I told you, Jake. You

741
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: wouldn't listen to me back in the old days. I said,

742
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: the Clippers of the People's team, right the Lake terms

743
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: are the Hollywood team. It's a whole different vibe in

744
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: a Laker game versus a Clipper game. Yeah, And I

745
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: gotta tell you that No Eagle, I was a little

746
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: skeptical I'm not gonna lie, Jake. You know, I was

747
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: Ralph Lawler guy when they hired No Eagle, and you

748
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: know he's just guy out of college. You know, he's

749
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: good though. He is really solid as a broadcaster. I

750
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: guess it. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

751
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: because I know his father. I and Eagles very good

752
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: on television. But oh yeah, I was a very nice guy.

753
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: I love I and I got to meet him several times.

754
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: And uh, I'll tell you. I'll tell you a story

755
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: real quick. I ain't Eagle came. It was one of

756
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: the games where they were both working together, and of

757
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: course you know they did this whole like production piece

758
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: on it, just that the other I comes up to

759
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: me and hey, I just want you to know my

760
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: son speaks highly of you, and he I thank you

761
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: for looking out for him, because you know, he was

762
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: like new to l A. He didn't know much about

763
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: the city, and you you embraced them, and I was

764
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: at all thanks and I said I'm a fan of yours,

765
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: just so you know. And it was it was like

766
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: a cool moment, you know. And I was skeptical of

767
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: no because I've never heard of him. I never heard

768
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: of him, and you know, I was like, I ain't

Speaker 1: he goes kids? Is that why he got the game?

Speaker 1: worked with him the first game and I'm blown away

772
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: because this kid so mature. He's like, you know, for

802
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: I did him at least that much longer. But I

803
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: don't want to see him go. But he's so good

804
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: he's not gonna stay. And I'll say it on the

805
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: fifth hour, I know that's gonna happen. I don't want

806
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: him to go, but you know, when you're that good,

807
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: you're in high demand. But he's amazing to be around.

808
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you the Colippers have been nothing good

809
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: to me. It's just been a fantastic experience, better than

810
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: I thought it would be, and I don't want it

811
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: to end. I'm I'm looking forward to going to the

812
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: new arena and you know, the Clippers will finally be

813
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: out of that whole identity thing with l A. You know.

814
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: But I don't understand, especially now, that the hate that

815
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Laker fans have for Corpers fans. I don't get it,

816
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: like Coupper fans don't care about Laker fans at all.

817
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that from the inside, people are like,

818
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, we don't care about the Lakers. You know,

819
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: we were about us. Lakers are rent free, you know,

820
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: Coopers are rent free. In the Laker fans head, it's

821
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy to see. And they're they're like, hey,

822
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: I'm still getting They're literally building the arena right now,

823
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: the new Clip Arena, which is being paid for by

824
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: Steve Bamber in Inglewood, and I'm still getting messages the

825
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: Clippers are moving to Seattle or Las Vegas or something

826
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: like that from all from Laker historians that are like,

827
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: oh no, no, well you've got to get them out

828
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: of l as so it's the jealousy. Why would you

829
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: be jealous? It makes no sense. I never understood it.

830
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, back in the day, I was part of

831
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: that being done, as you know. But I've had people

832
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: telling me I have sources that I'm telling me that

833
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: the Clippers going to Seattle. I'm like, um my check

834
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: stub said Los Angeles Clippers on it. I wouldn't know. Yeah,

835
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: we're leaving before you are, you know, because they're not

836
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: have to look for work but going anywhere. Man, Yeah,

837
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: they're they're sticking around. So you've got the podcast, which

838
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: you've already promoted Jake. You've already promoted the Big Brother

839
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: Jake Podcast. So but for those that maybe miss that

840
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: and weren't paying attention, make the elevator pitt now. I

841
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to be on your podcast. But make

842
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 1: the elevator pitch right now. On why a random fifth

843
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: hour listener, a member of the Mallard militia who maybe

844
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: does not remember the Jake Warner era on the show,

845
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: why should that person tune in to your podcast? Well,

846
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: let me tell you so the Big Brother Jake Podcast

847
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: powered by Podcast One of course. Um, the reason why

848
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: you want to listen to the Big Brother Jake podcast.

849
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: Is because I am such a relatable person to the

850
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: average Joe. You know, I'm a single father of three

851
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: that's gone through the voice, that has had problems with,

852
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, being a single dad. I've I've I've had

853
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: mental illness, I've had conclude the press moments of my life.

854
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: I've also know how to have a good time to

855
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: be a single man. I love sports, a love music,

856
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: and it's just like talking to one of your friends

857
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: at the bar if your brother's like talking to one

858
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: of your people's at the barbershop. We just have a

859
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: good time. On my show, we were like Jerry Seinfeld

860
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: Show of Podcasts. We talked about everything and nothing at

861
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: the same time. Show us about absolutely nothing. But it's

862
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: a big party. We have a good time. You know.

863
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: One of the things I talked about is my hate

864
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: for Valentine's Day because it's the Hallmark holiday and people

865
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: know that people come from love advice, you know, I mean,

866
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: being single, it's been very fun for me. I'm gonna

867
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: start on the line very but you know, I'm really

868
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: live in my naval days. That's what we do. We

869
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: just have a good time. Everything is relatable if you're

870
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: going through something, you know, you're your vetterm, you know, PTSD.

871
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm I suffer from PTSD, you know. But if you're

872
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: like wanting to have a good time on a budget,

873
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: I can tell you how to do that. Like I

874
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: talk about all kinds of different lines issues, pop culture,

875
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: sometimes politics, you know, I try. I try to be

876
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: an escape from politics, but sometimes things happen that are

877
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: so big you have to, you know, discuss it. So

878
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: the Big Brother Jade podcast in comp of Sason, everybody,

00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio, Amazon everywhere. Brother Yeah and Jake, let

883
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: me let me tell you you you I'm oppressed and

884
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: I was on the podcast like there are no women

885
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: in comparison that listened to sports talk radio right that

886
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a very small there's a we know. I think

887
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: we know the names of all the women that listen

888
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: to my show. Yeah, I think that I'll seven of them,

889
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: yes exactly, And they're very nice women and we thank

890
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: them for listening. But your podcast, you have a pretty

891
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: big following with with women, which is surprising. I mean,

892
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: to me, I'm not ripping you, Jake, but you're you're

893
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: a sports radio guy, just as surprising as you are.

894
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: My biggest demographic. You know, it's inside talk, I know,

895
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: but like, my biggest demographic, my biggest listener base is

896
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: in middle aged women thirty five and fifty four. And

897
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: because I'm relatable to these women, because it's like, and

898
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell a little something. Those that are listening that

899
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: are single, dad, use it to your advantage. Women love

900
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: to seeing men taking care of their children. And I'll

901
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: go out to the mall with my three daughters and

902
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: two of them are there in the grown and these

903
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,959
Speaker 1: women are like, oh my god, like like how cute

904
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: he is with his kids and the grooves and they

905
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: love it. They eat it. They eat it up, bro,

906
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: And so you know, I'm just tell them something. Most

907
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: of the time I'm out with like a podcast hurt

908
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to promote the brand, you know, and

909
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: so oh yeah, the podcast. I'm like, listen to the podcast,

910
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,800
