1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, and

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a good day to day as

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: you practice social distancing. The coronavirus continuing on, and we

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: have a special edition. Why is this edition of The

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon different than

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: all previous editions of this dopey little podcast that we

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: do because we pop our cherry for the first time.

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: We have a guest, and I don't usually do guests

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: on the Overnight Show. It's just me and a microphone

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: and a bunch of crazy people calling up, and that's

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: what the way we've done it. And but there's only

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: a few people I really want to talk to, and

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: one of them we have on today, the great Lenny Dikstra,

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: and I I love Lenny. Now if you're I don't

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: know how you did not know who Lenny is if

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: you're listening to up possibly a sports based podcast. But

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I have ranted for years that life is all about

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the stories. That's all about the stories, the people you meet,

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: the places you go along the road of life. And

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: nobody has more stories in the world of baseball than

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: Lenny Dikester. This guy was part of the nineteen eight

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: six Mets, the the biggest frat boy team in my life,

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: the eighties six match. He became the incredible Hulk on steroids.

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: In fact, he was such an incredible hulk that he's

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: the last player at at five ft nine, Lenny Dikester

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: was the last player in Major League Baseball to lead

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: the league in both hits and walks the same season

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: when he was all routed up with the Philadelphia Phillies

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: in the early nineties, he ran car washes UH for

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: a while, and we didn't even get into that. Uh

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: wrote a book. He's been to jail. He was considered

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: a Wall Street tycoon at one point. He lost everything,

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: went to prison, drug rehab, the whole thing, and we

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: even touch on his Howard's Stern interview is famous. Howard

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: Stren interview from a couple of years ago, but I

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: would say the highlights of what you have to look

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: forward to in Giscon. You can touch this up if

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: you want. I think the part where he talks he

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: tells a story about uh Barry Bonds that I had

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: not heard before, and he delves into Donald Trump as well,

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: and something that the President of the United States is

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: apparently planning to do to help Lenny dikest out. Everything

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: that we went through reminds me of the summer of

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when you told me to watch the Al

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: Jazeera documentary on steroid and performance enhancing drugs. Because from

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: talking to him, he was out of the curve and

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: he was one step ahead of everybody else during his time.

54
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: He was truly a pioneer. Yeah, and I had not

55
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: heard the story. Maybe he wrote about it. I didn't

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: see in his book, but he told the story about

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: how he first stumbled into steroids. And it's a facinating

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: It involves a public library and Mississippi is what it falls,

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: which is just just crazy. So I don't want to

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: give it away. I don't want to spoil it. Uh,

61
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: it is amazing. Give it up now for the man,

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the myth, the legend Lenny Dixtra, and we begin by

63
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: asking Lenny his thoughts on the current situation involving the coronavirus.

64
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm not straighted out and I don't think it's bullshit.

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, today they announces over a

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: thousand deaths now and in the United States. But I

67
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: mean the bottom line is is when there's uncertainty, uh,

68
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: people just don't know what to do and and and

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: that's where the panic comes. Uh. You know, life is

70
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: about trying to get yourself in a predictable situation, whether

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: you're playing baseball and trying to get to get ahead

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: of the count or anything else in life. And this

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: is so unpredictable. So it's it's something like we're kind

74
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: of hunchartered waters. You know. Yeah, now, have you been

75
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: out shopping because I've noticed when I've gone to the

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: store and I've only had to do it a couple

77
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: of times a last week because I've been staying home.

78
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: But uh, I think you're in California as I am.

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: But people they give you these weird looks like maybe

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: not you because they might know who you are, but me,

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: they like give you these deaths stairs like they treat

82
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: you like you got to plague or something like, it's crazy.

83
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: Have you experienced any of that? And that's how I

84
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: feel when I get my adderall Field, the brook and pharmacy.

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: They look at me like I'm sucking, uh getting heroin

86
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: or something. But you don't know. I have. I have

87
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: and people are shared, but I'm not scared. Um, I

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: haven't had a cold point five years. Man. I'm I'm

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm bulletproofed dude. And I mean, obviously I've had some

90
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: ups and downs. I think would be st say, yeah,

91
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: you've had a couple a few, you've had a bumpy

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of the bumpy ride though, Lendy, what now when

93
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: when you tweeted out that you were going to come

94
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: on and do the podcast and I was excited, thank

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: you for that. Immediately the trolls, How do you enjoy

96
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the trolls, Lendy? They were all over you busting your

97
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: balls on Twitter. You must enjoy that, right, That's that's

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: the players, that's what's all about. And you gotta you

99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: gotta have the I mean, remember, I was voted as

100
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: the most hated player in the league five years ago

101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: by the opposing team, and that's because I made their

102
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: job sucking hard. And like I told my my teammates,

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: I see you talking to the other team. We're fighting, okay,

104
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: we're playing for real fucking money. And and so when

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: we go on the road, here's what we do. We

106
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: go to their house, we take their money, and we

107
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: sucked their women. And that's how we roll, okay. And

108
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: so so yeah, I mean they're haters, but the bottom

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: line is they don't know me. They're nothing about me, okay,

110
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: And so I don't give a funk, and I just

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: tell the truth. So I roll. Letty, you mentioned being bulletproof.

112
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: There's a fascination going on right now here in Los

113
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: Angeles that most of the gun stores are out of ammunition. Um,

114
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: what kind of self protection do you have right now? Um?

115
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: All I have is, uh, well, my nickname is Nail,

116
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: So I got a ham rass about it. I've never

117
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: shot a gun before. Man. I you know, talking to

118
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: a guy that had one friend in high school and

119
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: the only reason I had one friend and said I

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: need somebody to play cats with, you know. Uh so so, Um,

121
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: the bottom line is, you know, you have all this,

122
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and then you have things like Ron

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: Darling this guy that you know wrote this book full

124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: of lies and and you know, the press kind of

125
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, everyone brought into this this cancer bullshit, he says.

126
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: And uh, that's uh, that's gonna be the next virus,

127
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: so rond varmin virus. Letty, I gotta follow open that.

128
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about that anyway, Like I

129
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: did some some BS monologues on the radio about that

130
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: when that story came out and you sued Ron Darling,

131
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: and somebody put the video up, the raw feed from

132
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: that World Series game at Fenway, and I couldn't hear

133
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: anything that he had claimed that. You say, how was that?

134
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: But how's the lawsuit going though? Has that been settled? Well?

135
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: The figger than the lawsuits, though, Ben, I mean like

136
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: I haven't really went public and said this before. Um

137
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: but because your stars on the rise and uh um

138
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: and and in fact, I was talking to one of

139
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: your your main guys that I've heard yesterday. Uh not

140
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: not the soul as cool as hell, but but Ron Darling.

141
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: Um Um, there's a lot more of that story than

142
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: than a defamation lawsuit. Okay, this's a it could be.

143
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: It could be the biggest story and since since since

144
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: the juice got loose, you know, really, and are you

145
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you go back and look at the the coincidence,

146
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I think not okay, And again, why would you take

147
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: me to make it? Might you want to make the

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: last motherfucker you want to make an enemy of his me? Okay?

149
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Because and that's what he did. And so and now

150
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: there's there's I have, you know, documented attacks of what

151
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: really happened. And so someone someone's gonna pay and it's

152
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna be me. But that's still going through the legal process, right, Lenny,

153
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: it's still yeah, legal, But like I said, this is

154
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: way bigger than legal process. This is about the integrity

155
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: of the game, which is which is the most important

156
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: thing that major eat baseball. So, um, somebody's gonna have

157
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: to do something here quick or like I said, um um,

158
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: this will make the scronavirus took like children's play. Lenny's

159
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: he you know, the EIGHTI six Mets a legendary team

160
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: of course, But is he like the guy? Obviously you

161
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: don't like him now, but is there anybody else that

162
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: you don't get along with on that team or every

163
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: everyone else? Still, you guys, we got along great. No

164
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: one likes him, You know we called him Mr P.

165
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: I nicknamed Mr P you know, Mr Perfect because you

166
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: know he went to Yale and and Press. I gave

167
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: him credit for getting away with that ship he had

168
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: for twelve years of less and the big leagues, I

169
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: mean they had not on the ball with his sucking hand. Uh.

170
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: But but but at the end of the day, Um,

171
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: when you fucking lie, okay, or we need to tell lies,

172
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: and then you have to start covering them lines up, Okay,

173
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: you know you start getting uh, doors started opening that

174
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: you never thought would open. And that's why I had

175
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: to tell the truth. A lot of people don't like

176
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: me for that, but guess what, I don't give a fuck.

177
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 1: That's how I roll. You know, I'm a man of

178
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the people. Lenny, you talk about the game baseball real quick.

179
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: How clean do you think it is compared to the

180
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: early two of thousands or late nineties. That's a great question.

181
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Is it's cleaning to guess? There's definitely no drugs in baseball? Um,

182
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: meaning you have a French player that that's going to

183
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: be released or something that that might you know, amp

184
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Up and the US are raw, but overall they've they've

185
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: cleaned up the drugs are definitely out of baseball. So

186
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: what does baseball do? I mean, think about it. They

187
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: shattered the home running record for a single season, after

188
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: all the drugs are out of baseball. Well, how they

189
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: do that? Really simple? Major League Baseball touch the scenes

190
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: way down, okay, and major balls like like like super Bowls.

191
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: And again I'm not a physics guy, but I know

192
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: one thing. Waits to fly my private jet and I say,

193
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: my flops go down. That obviously so is the plane down.

194
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: So when them scenes are not up okay, and they're

195
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: down and they're flush, balls are going to travel, okay.

196
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: So and that's a major Baseball just created that. So

197
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: with that being said, then with with launch angles and

198
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: eggs of loss and everything that we talked about now,

199
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: with sever metrics and everything of major League baseball, if

200
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Ben and I put you in in the commissioner's seat

201
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: and we said, hey, you are now Rob Manfred, how

202
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: would you execute the punishment to the Houston Astros for

203
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: this season? Another great question. First of all, that was

204
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: a fucking joke. Okay, I mean listen, I've played in

205
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the Big league swove years, so let's let's let's play

206
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: this out here. We go ready, okay. So so I'm

207
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: in the battles box, okay, And so the pisture's shaking off,

208
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: shakes off. Then he says again he starts his wine.

209
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: That means the guy in center field or whatever the

210
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: fun they got out there has to has the number

211
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: one guest, right because you know, because they changed the

212
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: sequence probably every other ending, so he has to guess. Right.

213
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: Then they have to get it to the to the

214
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: guy who's got the trash cans and can imagine hitting

215
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: like we're gonna sucking trash. Can somebody hang the motherfucker's

216
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: meaning like, and the guy's gonna wind up? I mean

217
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: they it looked like man looks like it needs something

218
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: to do, and it's just it's way out of control.

219
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, people am still in signs since since baseball

220
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: has has been around. I mean, but again, like people

221
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: think that that happens impossible. I played the game. It's impossible.

222
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: And you get crossed up one time. He crossed up

223
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: one time. As a hitter. You're you're gonna you're gonna say,

224
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: don't ever give me the signs signs again. You know,

225
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: I got a funny story speaking in Houston. It happened

226
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: in Houston. Remember Craig Digo, he was he came up

227
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: as a catcher. So so the first two at the

228
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: Weekend Series series, they're the first two games. I was

229
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: like gay free. And on Sunday he says to me,

230
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm leaving off. He says, since we can't get you

231
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: out when we don't, when we don't know what's coming,

232
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you every pitch that's coming, every attack.

233
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: And so now he's just kind of pregning with me.

234
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: He says, here kind of fast, far right down the middle,

235
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: and the picture throw the passot right down in the

236
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: middle boughtom mine. Long story short, he gave me every

237
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: pitch because he's fuck with my mind. I went over

238
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: for yeah, but but later you know, that's how mental

239
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: it is. The astro thing though, Lenny. In the World

240
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Series video, you could see the setup like behind the

241
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: dugout where they were relaying the signs, and it was

242
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: like they weren't even hiding it. They were like they

243
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: were right in your face, like they had this whole

244
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: thing with the monitors and the whole deal. And they

245
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: were even people on the internet to think that al

246
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Tube was wearing a buzzer that I love. That gets

247
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: me hard man. Here that dodger the case five hundred

248
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to have umpires be followed around. Okay, So,

249
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: like I said, what Houston did spist get? That gets

250
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: me off man, because that's hard to do it. They

251
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: trust me, all right, Lenny, Let's move on to listen

252
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I gotta ask you a boy this. Now.

253
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who cares about all

254
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: of fame, but this is something that bothered me. You know,

255
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: back in the day in the in the peak of

256
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: the steroider, which you're familiar with. Of course you were

257
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: part of it. But uh, like you look at certain

258
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: guys are allowed in the Hall of Fame like Pledge Rodriguez,

259
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Mike Piazza, guys that are suspected of using p d s,

260
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: and then other guys like Bonds and Clemens are black

261
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: from the Hall of Fame. How do you feel about

262
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: that money? That's not funny? Then I know you're no

263
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: wonder You're you're rating it so high, dude, you you

264
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: picked up you pick an area that I literally got

265
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: escorted out by the by the Hall of Fame police

266
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: because I went in there, and I wanted to know.

267
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: I said, how are the three best players in the

268
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: history of baseball not in the Hall of Fame? I said, like,

269
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: what's the fucking threshold? What makes somebody bad enough not

270
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame? So is it

271
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: okay to be your wife? Is it okay to take

272
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: instead of me? What makes somebody bad enough? So I

273
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: went off on them, I captain. They went as to

274
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: me because they don't have an after and like you

275
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: said that, everybody took in set. It means in the

276
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: in the seventies, and that's a fact, undisputed. Instead of

277
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: means are much more performance enhancing them than steroids because

278
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: they get you up and you're playing every night and

279
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: a rigorous schedule. Um um. But then when you combine

280
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the two like I did, then you have gears like

281
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: I have. Never mind um anyway. But the bottom line

282
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: is is the Hall of Fame is a mess. Because look,

283
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: if they want to have a good guy, a hall

284
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: of Fame for the good guys, then that's fine, you know,

285
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: but the Hall of Fame is supposed to be at

286
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: least I believe this is what you do on the field.

287
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you take Bond is the first ten

288
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: years where you played Pittsburgh, Okay, until I showed him

289
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: how to shoot steroids, And I take credit for that.

290
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: We'll get back to that later. But the bottom line

291
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: is their fifth best overall. Okay, Roger Clemens. I mean,

292
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: this is a guy that that beats the beds by

293
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: the way, and that's impossible to do. Trust me, I

294
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: know all about that, Okay, And so I couldn't get

295
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: an answer from because they don't have an answer. So

296
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm something's got to change there. Be sure

297
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays

Speaker 1: Radio and the I Heart Radio app Lanny. What about

300
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: the drug usage itself with Bonds? Like, like, what what

301
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: exactly did you help him with that? You mentioned the steroids,

302
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: but what exactly was he taken? I mean, I know

303
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: there's a concoction of a couple of different things, but

304
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: what wasn't the cocktail? Yeah, we'll see Bonds. I gotta

305
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: give him credit. See so remember in Christcoe candlestick Um

306
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: you had to walk you know, you came out of

307
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: like the clubhouse, who came out on right field had

308
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: and walked. That's the batting case. So I'd always see

309
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: you know him and in Dusty Baker and Dusty Baker

310
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: as cool as fuck. Come I any manager wears wrist fans.

311
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: You gotta love that. Um. But but um Bonds, you'd

312
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: always say, you know, because you know, I knew him

313
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: from from before and and and I'd always say to them.

314
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: He'd always say to me, do like, how how are

315
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: you doing this? Man? Like? How are you? How are

316
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: you saying this throng? I told him. I told him

317
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: the whole story. You know, um objected. They're born, you know,

318
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of a chest

319
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: officeron and some some sesston and you're on your way

320
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: rock and roll, you know, and you walk walking into

321
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: that box that you got a fifteen inch cock man.

322
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: And and the bottom line is the disciplined Bonds had

323
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: to wait. Okay. And and I mean, if you think

324
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: about the numbers of this idea, steroids are a note steroids. Okay,

325
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: I led the league and walks two years, two separate years.

326
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: One time I had a hundred twenty or something. One

327
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: time I have something like that. This motherfucker watched two

328
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: hundred eighty seven times when you're eighty intense seven or

329
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: seven or eight intensil. Those are little league numbers, man.

330
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the bottom line is, if you wanted to

331
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: find Barry Bonds, you can do two ways. Barry Bonds

332
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: the best players to ever put on a baseball uniform.

333
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds the biggest dick they ever put on a

334
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: baseball uniform. Be sure to catch live editions of The

339
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: So like, did somebody advise you some other player and

340
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: tell you, hey, here's how you do it? Or did

341

364
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: I said, wait, the team and the other dug out,

365
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: what do I meet him at home play? What happens?

366
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: So any long story short, So I get there and

367
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: Lee Thomas as a general manager and he's an awesome guy.

368
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: And you know, he says, you're gonna leave up every day.

369
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: So I come out of the gates. I remember, I'm

370
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: only five mile okay, sixty then and I come out

371
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: the gates. I'm raaking. I'm in three. And the bottom

372
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: line is I physically did not have the stamina and

373
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: and and the durability to the last day in, day

374
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: out over the ruling schedule. So I'm timbered. Okay, I

375
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: sell far in eighty nine. But Lee Thomas told me

376
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: after the season, he says, listen, that was your first year.

377
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: You know perst time playing every day. You're gonna lead up.

378
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you. You're gonna lead off every night.

379
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: You have to live the lineup. So now I know

380
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: es basically determine my life. I either got to get

381
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: a real job. I'm gonna make a lot of money.

382
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: So I went too. I was living in Mississippi at

383
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: the time. People who lived there actually and and I

384
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: was living in Mississippi. I went to the library and

385
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I looked up this is I looked up to say

386
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. I found he was the sprinter, the runner

387
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: who got caught with WINNI v and so what I

388
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: did is then I went to the yell page. It's so,

389
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: I said to myself, like, I don't need something to

390
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: help me play baseball. I can do that. I need

391
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: something to help me last I stay strong enough to

392
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: last seven months. It is seven months, you know, we

393
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: had spring training and six months. So I found some

394
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: hillbilly doctor in the yello pages. I called him up,

395
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: and I went in there and I explained this what

396
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: I explained to you. I said, listen, I chance to

397
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: make millions of dollars. I said, I need something that's

398
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: gonna keep me strong and keep me durable. So I

399
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: can laugh. I'm a little guy, and said, I run

400
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: around a lot. And I said, by the way, I

401
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't even know what he's gonna give me. So he

402
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: writes the prescription for me. He said, go to write

403
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: eight and filled out, and he gets filled and come back.

404
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: I'll show you how to do it. So I still

405
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. So it turns out a

406
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: deca durable and I wait a wait in line A right.

407
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: Remember it wasn't illegal then, was the way A head

408
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: of curved and and I used to my prescription filled

409
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: and little vials. I walked back to his office. He's

410
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: got a fucking harpoon waiting for me. Okay, he puts

411
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: it in my ass. I hire a trainer. I worked

412
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: my ass up in the gym. I showed up a

413
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: spring training Reggie Hammond did in that bar in forty

414
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: eight hours. A new sheriff in town, motherfucker's and any

415
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: and ain't Reggie Hammond's. Lenny fucking Dikestro. So I came

416
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: in like a Greek statue with one and and you know,

417
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: true incidence I had that year. I'm on the sub

418
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated hit four in June. I think, not okay,

419
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: they work and and I told Major League Baseball their

420
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: problem wasn't the drugs. It was steroids because because they

421
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: help you make more money at any time moneys involved,

422
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: people make bad decisions, okay, or decisions that they wouldn't

423
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: normally make, okay. And so that's what happened. What were

424
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: you gonna do. Let the guy next to you take

425
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: him and and and let him. Um you say, I'm

426
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: a good guy, I'm not gonna do it. So you

427
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: get fired and he makes thirty million dollars. So basically

428
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody was taken when we were taking them, but but

429
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: now they're they're all off them now. Well, Lenny, what

430
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: about this though, because you mentioned the off season conditioning,

431
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: but the seven months you got a hundred sixty two

432
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: games spring training and possibly postseason. So what was your

433
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: daily regiment because were you were you stacking it with

434
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: anything else? Like were you taking any human growth hormone

435
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: or or protein? Like what was your diet and your exercise? Yeah,

436
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: I imagine your girls. I was a chemist, bro. I mean,

437
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: it's not a coincidence that that my highest average in

438
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: all the stadiums was Houston because he remember, I knew

439
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: the game was never going to be there's every rain delades, see,

440
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: so you know when when when when you're on the ship.

441
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: So the regiment was this, Okay, I'd wake up or

442
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: maybe come to like about twelve o'clock, okay, And the

443
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: first thing I do is whoever was next to me?

444
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: I dropped a thirty texture dream Adam. I wasn't in

445
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: that it was a time release of Dexter three. And

446
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: then I'm taking another one about I don't know five

447
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: for VP, and then I take the bill Heart's Orange,

448
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: going is the Kickers? Okay? And on the steroid part.

449
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, I was um um, I was doing that,

450
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: you know weekly. That's um. I really loaded up in

451
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: had a year that that nobody's really had before. But

452
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: but that was my regiment. And and am I telling

453
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: kids to do that? No? And am I am? I? Am?

454
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: I proud of what I did on the field. Yeah,

455
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: what I do, It's what I do it the same way. Yeah,

456
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: you know why because I had to. I had to.

457
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: If I didn't do that, I would have had to

458
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: take a you know, get a real job and and

459
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: and you know, take orders from somebody and and live

460
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: with the life that people live out there. And that

461
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: is the husband gets up, he goes to his job

462
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: of the apes. It's back in his car, home to

463
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: his miserable wife, eats of fitty food. They don't fuck

464
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: gets up in the morning, they do it again. I

465
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: can't wait. Yeah, where do I sign up? Fuck that? Man? Well,

466
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: so with that being said, then Lenny, can you take

467
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: us through the darkest moment of your professional career when

468
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: it was in the field to play or offseason activity.

469
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: Another great question, man. You guys have asked some great questions.

470
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: What if we get into fussy But I don't think

471
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: you have enough time for that. Um. But anyways, the

472
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: darkest moment was okay, I'm leading off the All Star game, okay,

473
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: um against Randy Johnson, the Creature, And somehow I battled

474
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: my ass off and work a walk, and you know,

475
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: Felipe Lose the manager at the time, and and he says, listen,

476
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: the only sign the only thing we're doing his own signs.

477
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: But you're running three one, three two, And so I

478
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: was something out bad. I don't get a walk. First

479
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: first a bad painting plane in Texas, so um and

480
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Bonds sent to the next guy makes it out and

481
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: then Bond ticks three one. I looked at the first

482
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: basebokes my running. He says, yeah, so I don't want

483
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: to pick off, so you know, I go. Bond takes

484
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: a fucking cock shot. Pedro Rie starts a rocket down.

485
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: The ball was waiting for me, talking about the jog

486
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: of shame. And then we got in the outfield and

487
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: I said the Bonds, I said, you know what, motherfucker,

488
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: instead of this pitching around you, I'm gonna tell my

489
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: pitchers I'll throw you in the fucking neck, you sucking dick,

490
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, because you hung out to dry you see,

491
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: and and um, what happened there is the darkest moment

492
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: that wasn't it? That was a black moment, the darkest moment.

493
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: And I don't think I've ever told anybody. This was

494
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: when using you only get like a couple of thats

495
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: and they all start getting because I played the other guys,

496
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to come out of the All Star

497
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Game because I was on so many pills and I

498
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: was so fucked up at that time, and you know,

499
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: I was having to take thirty pain pills a night.

500
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: And and I remember when the game ended up, what happened.

501
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: I think I think it might played the whole game,

502
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, And I didn't even want to play, which

503
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: is crazy because that's what I loved it. But it

504
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: was all because of the drugs. And I got in

505
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: my limousine and I laid down on my limousine right

506
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: in the parking lot of Texas, and I said to myself, Wow,

507
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: is this hit man? This really is? I said, So

508
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: what I did after that is I went to Israel

509
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: and I did this special treatment and have them taken

510
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: an an opiated since um um, because you know, we

511
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: have an opiate epidemic out there. But that's how bad

512
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: it was. And it was that bad and that's when

513
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: when the Swiss came on, you know, So that was

514
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: pretty dark and sad actually, you know, yeah, that's wild, Lenny.

515
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 1: I want to go back the Howard Stern, the famous

516
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: Howard Stern interview did a couple of years ago. How

Speaker 1: God put me on the earth to entertain people on

522
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: the baseball field because I was actually pretty good at it,

523
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: but that wasn't my calling. And I realized that he

524
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: put me on earth to help women. You see, that's

525
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: what I do. I'm a giver. I give back and

526
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,720

529
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: the subfession, you know what I mean? Absolutely? But the women,

530
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: what's it like you're you're getting up there in age now,

531
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: is that you're still getting the younger women letting everything

534
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: a deal. I mean, I can't even watch the fucking

535
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: game anymore. If I watched the game, like, there's another

536
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: one of my fucking kids. I mean, but but but

537
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,040

Speaker 1: do that. I can't come. And if I do come,

540
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: it's like sucking dust, you know, sucking somebody that think

541
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: a murders going on. So I'm basically at the point

542
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: of now just hearing these words, and I'm good. When

543
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: I hear these words, I can't believe I'm doing this.

544
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm sucking straight, you know what I mean. It's a

545
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: thrill to kill. I mean, I've made so many of

00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: That's right, brother, that's right. I'm giver man. I gave

551
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: back the second I gave back to my team. I

552
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: took a lot of pitches, played the game, right, you know,

553
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: and when the game went When the game went in,

554
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: I'd always go. First thing I do is be line

555
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: right to my club, my locker, and I sit down,

556
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: and that's myself if I were a fan, but dating

557
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: lineing to watch me play the night as I judge

558
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: myself every night and and every night, with the exception

559
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: of one night, the answer was always yes, even if

560
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: I took it over for well, Lenny, outside of the

561
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: game of baseball, you mentioned taking your hacks, So can

562
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: you give us like not a typical night, but one

563
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: of those nights it doesn't matter the city, the country, Like,

564
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: how would you get yourself juiced up no pun intended,

565
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: but juiced up for a night when you had an

566
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: itch where it's like you're out party. Yah, it was

567
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: another great question. Well, you guys are on point. So

568
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: what I did is is again, I've always been to

569
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: have the curve. Okay, I mean you know I was

570
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: I've always you know, kind of been somebody the kind

571
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: of of the curve when I had to because you know,

572
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: I was a little guy and I do I think.

573
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: So what I did is is I didn't say at

574
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: the team hotel. Okay, this is when I was at

575
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: the Philly You know, I was the Metsos young you

576
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: guys just did you know, glad to be there. But

577
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: when I to the Phillies, you know, I never stayed

578
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: the team hotel one one none season I I went,

579
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, starting ninety, I had my boys take out

580
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: the Presidential Suite as the best hotel in the city.

581
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: And I'd have them bring the bar to the suite

582
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: because I got hit by a lot of pisces and

583
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: not that many, Like you're a bar fucking trying to

584
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: scream and talk and you're wasting time. And see, we

585
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: can buy a lot of things with our money, but

586
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: we can't buy times. So what I would do is

587
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: have my boys get to the town and and you

588
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: have everything set up so when the game went out,

589
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: be over. Everything was waiting for him. Okay, that's called

590
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: robes and room service, my friends. Okay. And the only difference,

591
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: the only town that was the worst town on the

592
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: circuit was Dispute, Pittsburgh. So I told my guys and said,

593
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: you've done motherfucker's but the coal miners lads here, what

594
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: you need to do is we're in a couple of youth.

595
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: All is back I'm up to the University of pitt

596
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: and say all fucking alcohols free and drugs free, come

597
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: out of this party. And the next thing I know,

598
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh went from the worst of the best. You know,

599
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: that's how we were. Hold man, what about what about

600
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: in your offseason? Though? Like if you went to Europe

601
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: or Asia? Like, is there any particular city or country

602
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: that was your favorite that I mean you would. Man,

603
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't really hit me good with these questions. And

604
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: menacein is the one thing that I'm really not proud of.

605
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: But it was actually a genius. I mean it was

606
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: stuck in a genius um, you know. And and so look,

607
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm not proud of where I lived. I mean I

608
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: had a great wife, and but like I mean, I

609
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: couldn't like, you know, I was used to trap, being

610
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: on the move, so the obviously didn't come and I'd

611
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: get forward. And so the first way I started, I

612
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: go to New York. That's just in Philly, and I said,

613
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: I've seen a shrink and you know, buy a couple

614
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: of nights and be able to do my thing, and

615
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: that shrink out. The way we're talking about rip offs.

616
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: All you want to do is hear my pussy stories unbelievable.

617
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: But then I said, this is something. Glad you better

618
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: because I had my own plane that I the Gulf Stream.

619
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: So so what I did is I came up with

620
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: a story. Hey, listen, there's a new rehab in in Paris. Okay,

621
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: I want to try this out, and you know, seems

622
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: I can get better. And the bottom line, it was

623
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: so genius. I have one of my one of my

624
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: one of my boys, or or the people I thought

625
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: were my friend, uh, go pay for it. And and

626
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: so you know, everyone thought I was doing there. But

627
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: the bottom line is I bought thirty days of fucking

628
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: party and dude flying around and sucking in my jet

629
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: in Europe. In Europe from my Carlo to fucking Italy.

630
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,320

00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: had more money and got more money than me, but

632

Speaker 1: Day'll get caught. They don't They don't know how to

650
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, you gotta know how to maneuver.

651
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like the first thing you got to learn it.

652
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: You didn't bring anything home to the life. Okay. So,

653

Speaker 1: so you're supposed to take them every way, and but

657
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: for me, it was like having a snack run into

658
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: my fucking cock. Okay, I mean, that's sucking genius. I

660
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,400

00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: He was a Yankee fan, right, did you guys ever

714
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: hang on party together? I mean you mentioned the U

715
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: S open? But how well did you know Trump? Like?

716
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: Did you you guys? Yeah? I mean I didn't not party.

717
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: He invited me to mar Largo a couple of times,

718
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean, I mean just we have

719
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: we had some conversations, but I remember when he invited

720
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: me to mar Largo. Man and by the way, I've

721
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: never been a guy. Um, I've never funked around with

722
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: like wives or I've always had my own rules or friends,

723
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: girls or you know, just always ends bad. But when

724
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: I saw that sucking Marla Maples man and man, wow,

725
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: what a fucking queen. And like I did a double take. Man,

726
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean I think she had a real rack okay

727
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: from Georgia. But I think he had a dish here

728
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he threw her under the bus.

729
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: And uh but but yeah, so we didn't know, let

730
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: me say, hang out, you didn't really hang out with Trump,

731
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: but he was a politician then, you know, and then

732
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: and and to to the to the to the highest level.

733
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: And and like I said, I mean the thought of

734
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, by the way, who was a song cald killer. Okay,

735
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: I thought of that dish being in the fucking White House.

736
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Fuck. I mean, did you imagine there

737
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: is a guy up there? Think I think that motherfucker? Alright,

738
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: let me, let me let me follow up. And I

739
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: know what Trump since he became president, he is uh,

740
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: he still talks to Don King and some other people

741
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: as he talked to you. Would he would you consider

742
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: if he offered a job on some panel in Washington,

743
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: some BS sports panel, would you would you take it? Lenny?

744
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: I got something better than that. I'm gonna get parted

745
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: by Tom really fucking hey, and I also want to

746
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: get pardoned by the state of California for this bullshit

747
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: uh thing they came up with. So so yeah, yeah,

748
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: Lenny explained to me, how how does it work? Like you,

749
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: you obviously had some legal jeopardy and some problems, but like,

750
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: do you concoct has he contacted you? You've obviously reached

751
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: out to him. How's this process work? If you want

752
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: to I have no idea to educate me on what

753
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: the parting thing out works. You're a parting days about

754
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: the crazy crying and charging when they hit me for

755
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: bankruptcy fraud when I sold a piece of furns over

756
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars, which knows was nothing to do with bankruptcy.

757
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: Thought it was me catching some very powerful people doing

758
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: some very bad thing JP Morgan. But you can google

759
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: it right now and you say say, let you like

Speaker 1: I caught JP Morgan, I caught a judge, I caught

763
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: six lawyers and a bunch of other people and trustees,

764
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: um all doing some very very um illegal things and

765
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,719

767
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,040

00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: with opiates. You you know again you crossed and imagine

834
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: there's an imaginary line. It's different for everybody. But once

835
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: you become dependent on them and you're endorp and stopping

836
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: and shut down and you're solely dependant on the opiate,

837
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: she gets the opiate withdrawal that is so bad. And

838
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,840
