Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: We're hanging out here early on a Saturday morning, and

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: normally we start out with some dope holiday and kind

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: of start yapping about that, but I think we should

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: start with the loss of a legend an icon, Danny.

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: We learned last night that George Foreman has gone by

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: behind the Pearly Gates, one of the great boxing stories

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: from back when we were younger, and a lot of

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: people it reminds me of she was like seventy six,

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: but it reminds me of the John Madden thing, where

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 3: there's people that thought John Madden was just a video game.

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: There's people that think George Foreman.

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Was just like a grill that you get at Target,

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: Balmart or something like that. But he was a big

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: time boxer for many, many years back in the day.

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: Oh.

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 5: Not only was he a legendary boxer, but you're right,

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 5: his business acumen was on point. He got a grill,

30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 5: and as the story goes, hul Cogan, what did he get,

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 5: like a blender or something like that that sucked.

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, the famous story Hulk Hogan. They supposedly contacted hul Cogan. First,

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: there's a couple of different versions of the story. One

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: of them was they called hull Cogan, he didn't answer

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: his phone because he was picking up his kids or

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: something like that. And then there's another version where they said,

37
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: all right, you can either do the grill or you

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: can do like a meatball maker, and he he chose

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: the meatball maker, the whole Comania meatball maker which never which.

40
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Never made it.

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: And then they called George Foreman up, and Foreman's like, yeah,

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: but Foreman had done a lot of commercials, like he

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: was a as you mentioned, he was a big time

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: sales guy.

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: He was in a lot of different crap back.

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was a great hitch Man.

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did a lot of like McDonald's, and he

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: used to point at the camera. Yeah, he had that

49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: infectious smile too. And did he name all his kids

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: George and what.

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 4: He sure did? Yeah, George one through fourteen.

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he had. He had a lot of kids.

53
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how many, but yeah, they were all numbered.

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: There were a lot.

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: No it was I don't think it was fourteen. But

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: he definitely enjoyed himself. And then he ended up making

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: because of that George Foreman grill. He ended up making

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars. I think I remember the

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: story in the late nineties he wrote over the use

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: of his name, and at the time, I think it

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: was like one hundred and thirty something million dollars that

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 3: George Foreman got.

63
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: In fact, you do a little type here this sake.

64
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: No no no, no, no, no, no, no no no.

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 5: I actually somewhere in the garage, I have a deluxe

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: George Foreman grill.

67
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Oh not just the basic bitch.

68
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: You've you've gone above and beyond, all right, so it

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: says here, Yeah, Foreman got one hundred and thirty seven

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: million dollars in nineteen ninety nine, he got. So let's

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: do some malar math on that. Let's see, so I'll

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: basically hold on sic. So if inflation since nineteen ninety nine, uh,

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: it's gone up ninety one percent essentially, so uh it

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: was one hundred and thirty seven it's like or two

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: point six million in today's dollars.

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: He got.

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: Now, is that is that Foreman grill you have still

78
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: in the box, Danny? Or is that is that game used?

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: It's still in the box, but it's light used. When

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: I lived alone, I made a lot of turkey burgers

81
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: with it.

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay, that was your go to back in the day.

83
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 5: I burned out the original and I remember finding that

84
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: bigger George Foreman grill the top like pivots pivot Hey,

85
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 5: those were great because remember they drained the grease out

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: into the grease catcher.

87
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the guy that actually invented him. I was

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: reading a story about it.

89
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: Last night when we found out that George Foreman had died.

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: And the guy that actually came up with it was

91
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: this guy named Michael Baum.

92
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: I believe was his name A b O.

93
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: E Hm, I'm not trying to pronounce that, but he

94
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: was the creator of it and he was just like

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: a gadget guy. But he didn't get any kind of

96
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: money out of it compared to what George Foreman got

97
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: out of it. But he this guy would just futs

98
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 3: around with like lawnmowers and snowmobiles and all that stuff,

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: and he's the guy that actually created the product, and

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: then George.

101
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: Foreman ended up taking it to the new level.

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: The other thing that I learned about that Danny, which

103
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: is great, is this is a testimonial now that we've

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: lost George Foreman. Though it's a testimonial to the power

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: of the infomercial because according to what I was reading,

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: the Foreman Grill when it came out was not really selling.

107
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: It wasn't all that popular when they first debuted back

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: in the day. And what had happened was Foreman popped

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: up on QVC.

110
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I think that's still around. It was a.

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 5: Shopping QVC still there. You could make like five payments

112
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 5: for an item.

113
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, So early on people were on buying the

114
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: Foreman Grill. And then Foreman made his first appearance on

115
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: television on the Shopping that We're QBC and just did

116
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: the pitch and all that, and he's.

117
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 5: So perfect for that with his smile, and all the

118
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 5: old ladies watching around the country.

119
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: They say the aha moment was they actually used the

120
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: grill on the TV show and the hosts were mosing

121
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: with each other and then Foreman just grabbed. At one

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: point he picked up the burger and ate it. I

123
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: rotate nuts right out. Yeah, as it was, We've been

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: made and that apparently lit up the phone lines and

125
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: people could not get enough of them ever since then.

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 5: So there's actually an indoor outdoor electric grill by Foreman.

127
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there's there's all nonstick grill griddle and it's

128
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 5: on a stand.

129
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Okay, that's like the next generation.

130
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 5: That's a next yeah exactly. Yeah, that's cool though. I

131
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: want one of those from my patio.

132
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: Now.

133
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: You remember the original name was the Lean Mean Fat

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: Reducing Grilling Machine.

135
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, it was came in that white box I remember.

136
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, the George Foreman Lean Mean, Lean Mean Fat Reduced

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,320

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: George Foreman Grill. It's estimated not here, it's dead. He

139
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: made over five hundred million dollars off that grill. Oh

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: my gosh, five hundred million and hal Cogan maybe sold

141
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 3: like seven meatball makers, but does you know, maybe a

142
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 3: blender or something.

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: But five hundred million off that grill? God, how about that? Wow?

144
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: Wow? That crazy? Yeah.

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: And you know, George, I don't know what did him

146
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: in George at age seventy six. But how about the

147
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: fact Don King is still kicking at ninety three and

148
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: we lost George here at seventy six. But Don King

00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: still out there doing his thing and these as far

150
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,200

151
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: Florida and all that. But yeah, George Foreman, rest in peace.

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: One of the great characters back when boxing matted right.

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: Just was a big deal.

154
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: And he was in some massive five We're mostly talking

155
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: about the Grill because you know, it's the grill, but

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: there were some amazing moments there. And he fought Joe

Speaker 3: Frazier in the Fight of the Century in nineteen seventy one,

158
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,840

Speaker 3: Bunch of these guys back in the day, so two

162
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: of the most iconic boxing events of all time. Joe

Speaker 3: Frazier in the Fight of the Century and then Muhammad

164
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle. Has there been

165
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: a better name for a fight than the Rumble in

166
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: the Jungle? That has got to be top top five,

167
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: top three, top two all time boxing.

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

169
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, And this was years before Tom Brady and some

170
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 5: older players, other older players who were still starring on

171
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: the field. I remember my grandmother pointing at him out

172
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: all the time, saying, see, just because you're old, doesn't

173
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 5: mean your life's over. He was kind of known as

174
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 5: the old guy that could still do it.

175
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when he came back.

176
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: I was just starting my bloviating career and people were like, oh,

177
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: he mean, he's been out of boxing for too long

178
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: form and he's not gonna be able to come back.

179
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 3: He sat out like ten years and then came back

180
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: and became the heavyweight championship. A toss up question. Toss

181
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: up question, Danny g better fight name the Rumble in

182
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,280

Speaker 3: be the top two, right, have to be the top.

184
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 5: Ah Thrilla in Manila. Just I could see the poster

185
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 5: in my mind.

186
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: I know.

187
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: But Rumble in the Jungle, you know, it's like the

188
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: Jim Rome Show from nineteen ninety.

189
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: That one sounds racist.

190
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Racist.

191
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 5: Back then, you could get away with that.

192
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: Back when was that nineteen seventy four or whatever that

193
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: fight was back in the day.

194
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 5: Man rip Man definitely a huge, huge legend there.

195
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

196
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 3: I did chat with mister Foreman a few times my

197
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: back in my younger days when I'd go to Vegas

198
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: for fights or whatever, back when boxing was still big,

199
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: and they'd fly everyone in and it was like a

200
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: big spectacle and they'd bring it back all the boxing

201
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: legend would be a wandering around and all that, and

202
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: so I do. I did run into Forman a few

203
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: times back in the day, and very nice man. Not

204
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: quite the same impact on me as Don King, though,

205
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: And I've told the Don King story many times. The

206
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 3: boxing promoter, well I remember that story. Yeah, he just

207
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 3: butted my biscuits.

208
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: Man.

209
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: I thought I was the greatest thing in the world

210
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: and he just couldn't say enough things about me. And

211
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: then he walked over to the next booth and said

212
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: the same exact thing about the other gas. So it's like, okay,

213
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: on this fifth hour podcast we have well, we just

214
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,040

Speaker 3: We got the Merry Go Round, the Catered Affair, pulls

217
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: time for, but we'll start with the Merry Go Round.

218
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: And did not have the live radio show overnight into

219
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,679

Speaker 3: merry go round of quarterbacks, just wonderful and quarter and

223
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: then nothing really happened other than Jameis Winston going to

224
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: the Giants. And I'm a big Jameis Winston fan. Do

225
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: I think Jameis Winston's good?

226
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 6: No?

227
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: Do I like Jameis Winston.

228
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's thirty one, he's He's what I've said you

229
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: want to have. If you're a team like the Giants,

230
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: you want at least fun bad. You don't want bad bad,

231
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: you want fun bad. He's f b He's fun bad.

232
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: Jameis won.

233
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: He doesn't want a guy that's going to tease you

234
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 5: all the way to the start of the fourth quarter

235
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 5: before he throws two back breaking interceptions.

236
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll throw his two pick sixes at some moment

237
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: and break your heart, but they'll be games. Jameis Wins

238
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 3: is a one man band. He'll have some games where

239
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: he throws five touchdown passes. He'll have some games where

240
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: he throws five interceptions.

241
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Now, it doesn't.

242
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: Guarantee just because he's signed with the Giants obviously does

243
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: not guarantee that they're not gonna go out. And that's

244
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: some other other quarterback. And the big story from yesterday

245
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: was Aaron Rogers actually visiting western Pennsylvania, breaking the silence.

246
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: Rogers leaving the beaches of Malibu to go hang out

247
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: at the confluence there in Pittsburgh.

248
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, supposedly he had thumbed his nose at Pittsburgh, but

249
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 5: then the Vikings told him not interesting, and suddenly he's

250
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 5: on a plane over to Pittsburgh.

251
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he met with some of the big shots

252
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. The I read it was a six hour situation.

253
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: What do they talk about for six hours? They have

254
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: lunch for that lunch is about thirty five mine?

255
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 5: Right, when you did like a radio interview in your

256
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: early years, Yeah.

257
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: Well could that go one hour? Two hours at the most?

258
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

259
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: Normally what would happen is you'd meet with the program director,

260
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: they'd walk you around the station, to show you the station,

261
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: and then you'd meet with them for whatever and that

262
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: was it. Or maybe you'd go to lunch with them

263
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: and then you wouldn't even see the station and that's that,

264
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: you know. Ben I had one program director. He brought

265
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 3: me to his house after the lunch because he had

266
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: to pick something up. And then he was like in

267
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 3: there forever and he came back out at his front

268
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: door and he said, come on in for a little bit.

269
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: His wife was in there, and maybe early twenties, he

270
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: was a young program director.

271
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: They were in there smoking weed.

272
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Smoke weedy day, just chilling man, just having a good time.

273
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: And I was like, man, this, uh, this interview is

274
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: going to go.

275
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: Long app after he is done. But yeah, there was a.

276
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: That would have been Kooper Op's dream job.

277
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: God, he'd be like the assistant PD if he worked there.

278
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: But I remember the Uh.

279
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: There was one station I worked at my early days

280
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: before Fox Sports Radio, and in the afternoon, the program

281
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: director interviewed a guy who was on television in LA

282
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: for a job while the host was on the air

283
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: down the hall, like interviewed his replacement to take his

284
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: job while he was in the building.

285
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: That was very ouch.

286
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: He would have gotten away with it, but somebody spotted

287
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: the guy who he was interviewing and put you know,

288
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: two and two together and realized what are we doing here?

289
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, Rogers, I mean that would have been a

290
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: great monologue.

291
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see. He hasn't signed yet, so we'll

292
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: see if he's signs.

293
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 3: You got to think he wants to play that it

294
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense. Played season number twenty one

295
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and they say that.

296
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah deal.

297
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: I was going to say, just to back up to

298
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,479
Speaker 5: the Giants. You're right, they're going to draft a young quarterback.

299
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: So whether or not that young quarterback is ready to

300
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: play or not, Jamis is a really good commodity to

301
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: have as your backup.

302
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 4: If that's how it's going to roll.

303
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Jamis will be great and the New

304
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: York media will embrace him and he'll be wonderful for

305
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: the tabloids.

306
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: And oh yeah, you saw him at the super Bowl

307
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: with that microphone.

308
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: And another win for Sequon Barkley.

309
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: Remember Barkley at the Super Bowl at that opening night,

310
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: which used to be Media Day before it was bastardized

311
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: by the NFL. They Barkley asked or James Winston asked

312
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 3: Barkley where he should go, and Barkley said, yeah, or

313
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: so he was a Southsayer even before winning the Super Bowl.

314
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: And I you mentioned the Viking's not interested in Aaron Rodgers.

315
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: Did you see they had discussions with Ryan Tannehill. I

316
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: thought he was tired. I didn't even realize.

317
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 5: Oh, I thought that that was an old post from

318
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 5: Jordan Schultz from three years ago.

319
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is that, Ryan Tannehill? I mean, you go

320
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: down to the cemetery and dig his ass up. My god,

321
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: Ryan tanne are you kidding me? Ryan Tannehill is the guy.

322
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: What are you doing? I mean, it's very bizarre.

323
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: It's like, well, George, the Vikings are like, well, JJ

324
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: McCarthy's a guy.

325
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: But then yeah, well that's why they don't want an

326
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: enigma like Rogers sucking all the air out of that

327
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 5: stadium there in Minnesota. They'd rather have, like, you know,

328
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 5: somebody steady and maybe reliable. That's not Santa Hill, but

329
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: somebody just like a steady Joe Flacco type backup for

330
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: a young McCarthy.

331
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: Hey, well, Joe Flacco's available if you want.

332
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: And there was a rumor one of our listeners in

333
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: Minnesota emailed me a story from some Viking website fan

334
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: website I've never heard of that claimed, oh the Chargers justin.

335
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: Herbert Supply the deal was done according to two sources.

336
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about that one. Methinks probably not.

337
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,119
Speaker 3: Methinks unlikely.

338
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: The deal was if.

339
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: As somebody who like anonymously emailed into that Vikings show.

340
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: Oh well, those are always good clickbait. Hey, you know,

341
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: every once in a while, they're right, right, every once

342
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: in a while, the right. There was a guy the

343
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: other day this week who was on a flight to

344
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: Boston and said, Hey, Stefan Diggs is on my flight.

345
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: He's going to New England to meet with the Patriots.

346
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: And the Internet was like, oh, yeah, you're full of crap,

347
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: what a loser, you're trying to get cloud. And then

348
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: like two hours later it was yeah, Stefan Diggs is

349
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: going to meet with the Patriots.

350
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: You know. So I really do get that.

351
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: Stuff right every now and again, but I would be

352
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: be surprised. However, we know Jim Harbaugh, a Michigan man,

353
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: loved loved him some JJ McCarthy, and it's not outrageous

354
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: to think that the Harbor after spending a year coaching

355
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert might think this guy is like more of

356
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: a surfer than a quarterback, and that maybe I should

357
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: go get my guy who I know and J J.

358
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: McCarthy.

359
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: It would be fun. Do I think it's going to happen. No,

360
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: but it's fun to think about. Those kinds of things

361
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: are kind of cool to toss about. But turning the

362
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: page on that, I didn't want to mention. You know,

363
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: this is the Saturday Pod Life of Malar, Life of

364
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: Danny g. So we had a small shindig last weekend,

365
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: small shindig family, family, no friends, just family and a

366
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: good little get together at Malor Mansion. Good to see

367
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: people hadn't seen in some times. Some people hadn't seen

368
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 3: in many many months. And uh and it was a

369
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: catered affair and what catering company did? We use craft

370
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 3: services the same as the movie studio, though we use

371
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: the Malar craft services. The menu cheese, steak, and the

372
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: I was a lie cook. I was a line cook

373
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: that it made the food for a lot of people,

374
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: and I had my I was enjoying it because I

375
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: didn't have to socialize because I was on the griddle

376
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: so I just worked the griddle and uh, and the

377
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: people did come out try to talk to me. I

378
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: think they wanted bigger portions of food. That's why they

379
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 3: came out to talk to me.

380
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: And what are you? What are you making? What's going on?

381
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: But that I felt a little bit like this guy

382
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: named blind Willy. Remember blind Willie called from Florida.

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 5: Oh, I do remember Brian blind Willy. He used to

384
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 5: call Klay Travis's show too.

385
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what happened to blind Willy.

386
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 5: But I want to say, unfortunately, he's probably not with us.

387
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: You think blind Willy's checked out whom.

388
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was older back when he used to call.

389
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 5: That was right before COVID, So yeah, I don't know

390
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 5: what happened.

391
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: But he I think he worked at like an Applebee's

392
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: or something like that.

393
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: It was some restaurant and he was We always thought

394
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 3: it was funny because he's a cook and he couldn't see,

395
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: you know, he was liked he was legally blind, and

396
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: he he would make food for people. But I felt

397
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: like blind Willy. It was a busy, busy night, mission accomplished.

398
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: Everyone seemed to eat, drink and be merry. So we

399
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: did that.

400
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 5: I picture you looking like that cook on You can't

401
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 5: say that on television.

402
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a little dice. The thing.

403
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: The thing about this Danny that I've noticed is that

404
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: my wife thinks it's like we're at a steakhouse and

405
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: everyone's gonna eat at the same time, and I'm like,

406
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 3: I gotta you know, I.

407
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Gotta put everything together.

408
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: You know, I got a whole there's a whole routine,

409
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: and I try to get the food out as quick

410
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: as I can't.

411
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: But I'm not I'm one person, you know, So everyone's

412
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna eat at the same time, you know that whole reule.

413
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, no eat when the food comes out,

414
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: they can eat.

415
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 5: In reality, You're right, people eat at all different times.

416
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: So there needs to be a tip jar in front

417
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 5: of you.

418
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, or hire another chef or something like that, and

419
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: you can work with magic there.

420
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: My goodness. So that was part of the weekend. Last weekend, just.

421
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: Kind of hanging out and had a had a fine

422
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: time chilling. And of course the last couple of days

423
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: is watching a lot of the college basketball and I'm trying.

424
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 3: I'm trying to focus, Danny. I am, I mean, these

425
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: are some tough watches. These are just a lot of

426
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: tough games. You know, a couple of g.

427
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, forty point blowouts are no fun.

428
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: They do generally make for a better tournament down the line.

429
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: They make for a better tournament down the line, but

430
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: it's painful. It's a lot of mislayups, a lot of

431
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: missed wide open shots and.

432
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 5: Well, you know that mcnee's game a few days back, Yeah,

433
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 5: that wound up being a lot of fun because they

434
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 5: had to hold on and just watching the team celebrate

435
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: and the coach jumping up and down on the court.

436
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

437
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: I mean you see some of these games, like the

438
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: coaches come out and they're just like, oh man, we're terrible.

439
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: You know, I do I do enjoy And I said

440
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: this the other day when I was filling in on

441
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: the locally in LA. I enjoy Mick Cronin like I

442
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that we appreciate the UCLA coach because

443
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: he's it's kind of a straight shooter as much as

444
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: you can be. Like and they early on they were

445
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: get UCLA on Thursday was getting smoked by a Utah

446
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: State or they were it was just no, they weren't

447
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 3: playing very well.

448
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: And Mick Cronin.

449
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: You know, somebody had kicked his kitten or something like that,

450
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: and then and they.

451
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Had one of my thirty points.

452
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: Anyway, so I'm worried Cronin's gonna leave. I think I

453
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: think he's gonna go somewhere else, But who knows. Then

454
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,080

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, patient zero, right, patient zero, and.

476
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and you remember Tom Hanks had it and

477
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 5: that's when everybody was like, oh my god, and the

478
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: world shut down. We thought it was going to be

479
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 5: two weeks, you know, for the curve and all that,

480
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 5: and so we got into the same discussion.

481
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: Can you believe it's been five years?

482
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty pretty wild man. We're just in a

483
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: hot tub time machine. We are zooming and Joe was

484
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 3: it Joe exotic?

485
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Isn't he in jail still? Yeah?

486
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: Carol Baskin I think sold the property that she was on.

487
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: She was an interesting lady. I remember I booked her

488
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 5: on Clay Travis's I.

489
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: Remember you trying to track her down. I do remember.

490
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, she was hard to track down. She wasn't as

491
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: hard to track down as I thought. What was really

492
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 5: hard was convincing her to go on the air because

493
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 5: a lot of people burned her in the media because

494
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 5: everybody assumed that she was a murderer.

495
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 4: Remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

496
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of people thought and assumed she murdered

497
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 5: her ex husband because that's the way she was portrayed.

498
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: And so she didn't want to get blindsided by media

499
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 5: so I had to exchange email after email with this

500
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 5: lady for weeks, sent her pictures of my cat true story,

501
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 5: and got to talking with her about pets and everything.

502
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 5: She finally felt comfortable enough with me to go on

503
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 5: the air. It was awesome and of course the first

504
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: question Klay Travis asked her was, so, did you kill

505
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 5: your ex husband?

506
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: Did he did it?

507
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 5: He alluded to the media problems that she had, but

508
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 5: he didn't come out and say it, Thank goodness.

509
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: I thought she would have hung up. For sure.

510
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: Who was who was more impressive to talk to him

511
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: that time? Her?

512
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 4: Or Donald Trump? President Trump?

513
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 5: Definitely Trump on his cell phone. Yeah, that is on

514
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 5: his personal cell phone.

515
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: I still I'll run into people and in conversation, you know,

516
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: Trump's name will come up, and I'll be do you

517
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: know he he's the president and he calls on.

518
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: His own phone.

519
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 6: He calls on his own I still like, I remember

520
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: when we were kids, and it was like Ronald Reagan

521
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 6: would call the Washington Redskins to congratulate, remember the team

522
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 6: that won the Super Bowl?

523
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure, I remember. I remember him talking

524
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: to Al Davis.

525
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: Remember, yes, yes, but you remember how it would work.

526
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: It would be the White House called stand by for

527
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 3: the President of the United States, you know, some some

528
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: dues from the White ye.

529
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: It was like the official secretary of the White House.

530
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you got President Trump. All right, let's

531
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: go to Don online three from d C. Don you

532
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: just it was like texting.

533
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: Me and calling me off his cell phone. It was amazing.

534
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 5: I'm still mind blown by that. It's such a weird time, man,

535
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 5: when you think back to all that and us having

536
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 5: those FEMA passes, the producers and driving in every day

537
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 5: when nobody, absolutely nobody was on the road, to the

538
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: point where I got pulled over, not once, not twice,

539
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 5: three times during all that and had to show them

540
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 5: my THEMA car. Twice in Burbank. Once in Sherman Oaks,

541
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 5: I was pulled over because I was literally the only

542
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 5: car driving on the road at four am. Now, I

543
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: know that's early, but you know, with normal business, there's

544
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 5: still quite a few cars on the road at that

545
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 5: time in southern California.

546
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, there are.

547
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: And I remember we started doing the shows from home

548
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 3: around that time, but I would go in early.

549
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: On the first couple of.

550
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: Weeks we were going in and everything was shut down

551
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 3: because it was that two weeks, you know, stop the

552
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: thing and you'll be back. And I remember driving was

553
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: it flatten the curve? Flatten the curve? Yeah, yeah, I

554
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 3: remember that was the thing. But I remember driving on

555
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: the highway on the you know I five near Dodger Stadium,

556
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: and I thought I was in the twilight zone. I'm

557
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: in the second largest city in America and You're the only.

558
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: Car on the road. It was unreal.

559
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: I was like crazy, and I'm like I'm going, I'm

560
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: doing like Circle eight C and all.

561
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm driving around like a yeah crazy with dude.

562
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 4: Dude.

563
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 5: It's one of my most vivid Yeah, you're you're dead on.

564
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 5: It's one of my most vivid memories of all that.

565
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 5: And for our Throwback Thursday topic, Covino and Rich for

566
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 5: an hour talked about the biggest memories with sports in

567
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 5: our network, things that were going on in general in

568
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 5: life at that time and how weird everything was. And

569
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 5: there were a lot of callers calling in and saying

570
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 5: what they remembered the most about it, and one caller

571
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 5: in particular thanked our network because he said, and by

572
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 5: the way, he called you out by.

573
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 4: Name, Oh a good way.

574
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he said, that the hour and a half he

575
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 5: got to listen to Ben Mallor on his commute to work,

576
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: because he was still one of the essential workers. That

577
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 5: was the only thing at the time that made him

578
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: feel normal.

579
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 3: Well, there's nothing normal about my show, but I appreciate

580
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: I appreciate his kindness. Yeah, it was to think about

581
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 3: now in hindsight, because I remember when I first came

582
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 3: into sports radio in you know, I was a kid,

583
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: and every year, the one month people bitched about was

584
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: the month of late from like mid June to late July,

585
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 3: before NFL training camps kind of got going.

586
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: And the worst was the All Star break.

587
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: In Major League Baseball because there were no Yeah, and

588
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 3: this was before social media and all that. So to

589
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 3: think that we as as sports gas bags, did one

590
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty four days of sports radio without sports

591
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 3: like the whole thing shut down. It was March March eleventh,

592
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, all the way till July two third.

593
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: There were no sporting events in America.

594
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: There was no There was like Korean baseball we got

595
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: to watch on TV and stuff, but.

596
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: There were the stupid NASCAR simulation races that games of

597
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 5: horse on zoom on ESPN.

598
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: Remember, Yeah, I was bringing up Marble racing, is what

599
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: I Hey.

600
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 5: I brought that up on Covino and Rich. I talked

601
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 5: about how I'll never forget you doing the monologue on

602
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 5: the Marble Race Championship.

603
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I gave the.

604
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 5: Hosts a lot of props because I remember our boss

605
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 5: Scott Shapiro getting all of us on a zoom saying,

606
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 5: and not sure how long this is going to last,

607
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 5: but without games, we really you know, this was when

608
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: we knew there was going to be no tournament and

609
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 5: the NBA said no more, and we thought, oh is

610
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: this going to go for a long time. Nobody was

611
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: really sure, and I remember Scott Shapiro telling all of

612
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 5: us producers, this is when you got to dig down

613
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 5: deep and find some really entertaining content that's not on

614
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: the surface. You're going to have to dig and work hard. Yeah,

615
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 5: and I'll never forget that zoom call. Everybody was nervous.

616
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 5: We didn't know if there were going to be a

617
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 5: lot less listeners, and it turned out there were so

618
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 5: many more because people had all this extra time on

619
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 5: their hands and they were trapped and they wanted some comfort,

620
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 5: just like that caller was alluding to.

621
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's true.

622
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: We had the most listeners we've ever had in the

623
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: history of the network. Twenty five years now and the

624
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: network's been on and the most listeners were during the pandemic.

625
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: Which does that say that we're not good at talking

626
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: about sports.

627
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. But it was crazy and I have

628
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: and we still.

629
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: Get I get letters today from people that started listening

630
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: during the pandemic that have been with me and with

631
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio ever since then, just kind of hanging

632
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: out with us because they were just people couldn't sleep,

633
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: they were up at night, they couldn't know deal with life.

634
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 4: You know.

635
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 5: Been The memories of this bothered Covino so much that

636
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: during the segment he had to stand up and talk.

637
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 5: As he was standing in right when we went to commercials,

638
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 5: he went outside and did a lap. He had COVID

639
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 5: to the point where he was in the hospital and

640
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: a priest came in and gave him a rosary and

641
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: prayed over him. So he thought he was a goner

642
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 5: during COVID.

643
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

644
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: It's it was a wild time, and you know it's

659
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: ungodly amount of money to take the elevator up to

660
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,360

Speaker 3: tell my brothers, I said, oh, I'll come back. You know,

664
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,080
