He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:20.160 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.040 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:35.040 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, back at 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.640 it on a Friday. Another weekend is upon us here 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.760 in December, closer and closer to the end of the 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.080 year and the traditional hiatus from all of this broadcasting. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.800 But it is the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.920 Danny g Radio. Not here today because four hours a 0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:02.120 night are not enough. Eight days a week, eight days 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.840 a week from a secret podcast studio somewhere in the 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.240 north Woods. And we thank you for finding the podcast 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:15.640 and being part of the podcast, and I do appreciate 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.360 it if you subscribe to the Fifth Hour podcast, which 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.720 is very important, uh, and you enjoy that, and you 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.120 also listen to the other podcast, the Ben Mallor Show podcast. 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:35.160 There was a bit of drama. There was a technical snaffoo. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:40.440 The last couple of weeks where the Saturday and Sunday 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.840 podcast we're not getting posted in the right spot. We 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:52.200 have worked that out, so we have exciting news there. Yes, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.000 the podcast has straightened all that out, so everything should 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.280 be good now. But if you missed some episodes, we 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.520 did do the mailbag, and some of you sent me 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.760 angry messages. A couple of you were very upset that 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.240 the Sunday mail bag you sent a question in there 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.320 was no mail bag. Why did you ask for questions? 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.600 I didn't. I'm not the king of doshers. I didn't 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.640 ask for questions and then not do the podcast. We 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:18.440 did the podcast. But anyway, enough about that. Yeah, that's boring. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.880 Let's get on now to a surprise appearance on Today 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:27.200 by none other than one of the longest tenured callers 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.240 to the Ben Maller Radio show, one of the goofy 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.520 Er characters and the Mallard militia. I go way back 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:40.160 with this guy, twenty years of talking randomly sporadically with 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.560 the man, the myth, the legend that is none other 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.600 than Doc Mike Docs from Chicago. He has not been 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.680 calling the show that much recently because he's been traveling 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:58.760 around the United States and Doc is calling us now 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:04.000 from New Mexico. He's actually he's hanging out there on 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.600 his way to California. He's been all over God's Green 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.520 earthier from sea to Shining Sea. And we're gonna talk 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.200 with Doc Mike, catch up on many of the great stories. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.800 I'm sure Doc will hijack the show and talk about uh, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.600 drinking urine and all that, but well, at some point 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:25.400 we will get to the famous bloody goat head that 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.720 he dropped off at Wrigley Field, which led to amazing 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.760 moments in in my life of doing the show and 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:40.000 a national story that played out with Doc Mike from 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:45.200 wrigley Field, Chicago on Cubs opening days. So I see 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.600 him calling in right now. Let's welcome in from the 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:55.000 roads of New Mexico. We bring in Doc Mike. And Doc. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.720 People have said all kinds of things about you over 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.320 the years. I've gotten listeners that have said that Doc 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.720 is not real, You're a lizard person, you're this person, 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.360 you're that person, you're a paid character on the show, 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.680 that you're on the payroll, all kinds of nonsense. So 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.240 let me ask it, Doc Mike, are you a real 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:20.680 human being, absolutely live and in color. Yeah, alright, the 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.640 Fox Radio for over twenty years. Well, I know you. 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.799 You've been calling the show for for a very long time. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.040 And you go back to the days when we were 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.400 on the Score late at night in the in the 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.320 overnight hours, and you started calling, and you were there 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.919 when we got banned from Chicago radio for a long 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.680 period of time. You you had a role in that. Congratulations, Doc, 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.640 You mean Fox being banned, are you? Well? Well, yeah, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.479 well not me, but I part of Fox, so the 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.320 whole you know, I was swallowed up with everybody.

So you are 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.000 not being paid in any way, Doc, There is no 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.080 compensation from me.

I'm 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.320 doing the podcast while you're just passing through. Right. Where 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.479 are you coming from? No? Originally, where are you? Where 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.800 are you coming from? Elama Gordo. I stayed in Alama 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.440 Gordo last night. Alama. I've never even heard of Alama Gordo. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.600 That's where the first atomic bomb was dropped. I know 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.839 you're awful young, but that's you know because on the 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.800 Second World War, Well, I am aware of the atomic 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.600 I am aware of the atomic bomb. Doc, I have hands. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.039 They say there's a so sited white sands, and they 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.880 dropped the bomb there and then they took it to Japan. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.360 Aren't you concerned? Talk about the still the radiation levels 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.560 in that area. Aren't you a little concerned about that? 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.560 When you will improve yourself against the environment by drinking 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.440 your urine radiation, there's no effect. So so you think 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:26.679 that the urine protects against the nuclear fallout that could 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.520 be in the air everywhere? You believe that. I don't 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:35.280 not only that, but e M f uh COVID the 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.720 whole shot. It's it's a liquid gold. And who told 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.120 you this, doc? It's been in the research. Go to 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:49.080 look at scripts research from two o two. There's a 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:53.280 link on my website to it. The ozone is created 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.720 uh through antibodies. And they threw out everything they knew 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.400 about the immune system in two o two it's grips 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.200 and and found that that the major immune system does 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.760 not come out for a mosquito bite. You know, that's 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.080 like the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, UH, coolest carred 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.520 there's a technique that the body generates ozone and then 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:22.800 creates an antibody on the matrix of the cell. Yeah, well, doc, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.240 you got you Actually gotta speak up, Doc, because I 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.400 can barely hear you, which is a very odd to 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.160 me that because you're such a loud I know, I 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.040 told you to talk in your normal speaking voice before 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.040 we began the podcast. But this is, this is unbelievable 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.160 to me. You're talking very low. Now is when's the 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.120 last time you got sick? I mean, you called the 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.280 show and you you got you got a little sick. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:49.560 When was the last time you actually got sick? Yeah, 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:56.520 I don't remember, Ben, you don't remember. No. I did 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:04.199 a degree turn in nineteen. Yeah. I had a terrible 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.679 motorcycle accident when I was thirty. Wound up with fibro, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.360 myalergy and chronic fatigue for twenty three years. Because they 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.880 told me there was no cause and no cure. Okay, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.960 well I got cured with oxygen therapies and so on. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.719 The therapist that I was working with. Then I went 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.800 to the Oxygen school, and I went to reflexology school. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:29.640 I teamed up with Dr Turchaninov and Phoenix and started 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:34.640 educating myself in oxygen and ozone therapies, and since then 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.520 I've been bulletproof. Yeah, now, what do you say, Dr 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.320 and I we've talked about You've called the show and 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.000 brought this up. You haven't called us in a while 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.120 because you've been on the road here, you've been traveling 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.520 and it hasn't worked out. But let me ask you this, Doc, Uh, 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:53.480 you call up and say this, and inevitably multiple people 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.600 will message me and say, what is going on with 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.320 this guy? Doc, Mike, there's no he's just pulling this 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.240 stuff out of the sky there. What do you say 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:06.200 to that person? Doctor thinks you are looney tones I 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.200 mean about urine therapy or ozone and oxygen or just 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.600 well you're in the urine therapy in particular, Doctors many 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.000 people that are very troubled by this when you call 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.760 up and they blame me. They want me to ban you, 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.600 Doc from the from the show, And of course I'm not. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.040 I'm not in the in the banning business. I try 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.320 not to ban people. You know, there's a few that 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.440 have been banned, but but people get very upset. Doc, 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:35.199 this very passionate topic. Who knew that drinking your own 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.600 piss would be a passionate topic. But people get very 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.240 upset when they hear you talk about this doc. Well, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.520 you know, they've got the Internet. I don't, but I 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.720 use it as a research tool. It's very, very valuable. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.920 All they've gotta do is go to the Google or 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.880 one of their engines, go in the search by urine 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.719 therapy and look at the links and the results or 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.920 whatever they call it up in the left hand corner there. Okay, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.800 last time I looked, there was a hundred and eighty 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:12.160 eight million with a m million links.

Uh. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.400 And in the photo which we had not too long ago, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.040 even though one of my brothers is uh on vacation 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:39.840 for a long time. Um, they say say that I 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.400 was the youngest looking of the bunch. Okay. Now I 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:53.040 credited to my change of lifestyle, which is three years ago. Okay, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.960 I was kind of young looking them. I was in 0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:03.160 my uh fifties Okay. And I know when when when 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.240 people ask me, you know, how come you look so young? Doc, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:11.120 you don't you know looks I'll be seventy seven next month. Okay, um, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.400 how come you look so young? And my first reply 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:23.960 is good women, it's not it's not genetics, it's uh, 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.120 it's making. Whoopie, Doc. That's the key to a healthy 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:32.600 life is the making. Yeah, years ago. There's probably lived 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.520 about twenty years ago. I found a book in a 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.240 company and He's library that I worked with for Ozon 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.400 an oxygen it was I don't remember the title, but 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.720 it was something. It was interested me because it was 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.960 something like reverse the aging process or Forever Young or 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.760 some peuple like that. And I opened the book to 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:59.760 a chapter on endorphins. Okay, now, uh, you know, one 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.000 of the best ways to activate a hundred trillion of 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.280 your endorphins is an active sex life. And I've had 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.640 that all my life too. Were you ever married, doc? 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.840 Were you ever married? Back here? I have never known 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.520 you to be married. You've always kind of been out 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:18.000 and out about enjoying the fruit over that. Sure, that 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.760 just take a minute. I was married to my first 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.680 wife for twenty five years. We were both millionaires. Uh 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.400 after that, towards the end of our marriage, she wanted 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.760 her a million, and I said, okay, here you go. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.120 You know, she divorced me and she got a million 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.960 and I got a million. Okay, Well, not long after that, 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.080 one of my buddies, his mother, was a matchmaker, and 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.440 she introduced me to my second life. We got married 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.480 about a year later on her birthday in Australia. Because 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.280 I had a lot of money, we just traveled over 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.240 there and got all our permits and everything tied the 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.960 knot went up and down the Great Oak Road. Playing 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.920 golf was a wonderful program. I was married to her 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:08.240 about five years, and very unfortunately her sister died and 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.760 she lost it. They were very very close. It was 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:18.320 a beautiful relationship and and I just she said, well, okay, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.560 if you want to leave, it's up to you. Because 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.480 she started drinking and I think she was doing some 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.360 drugs and things like that. She was very depressed. So 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.440 we got divorced. Then I had a patient, a model 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.040 twenty nine years. I was in my forties and as 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.400 this model came in from uh Canada with fibro myalgia, 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.800 and I heared her, well, she wanted to be near 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.400 Doc Mike, just a case that came back. So she 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.200 came back to Chicago. We got married in a green card, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.840 and when after six months you can apply for a 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.320 green card, she got that, paid all the fees and 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.800 everything for our divorce and moved on. Beautiful girl, look 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.440 at that. So you've been married three times in your 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.480 call it two and a half. The third one that 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.480 was just yeah, I don't think you're supposed to admit that, doctor, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.000 I don't know that you're supposed to admit that you 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.840 did that. I don't know, you know you want to 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.520 get there. Used to be, uh, you could get as 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.960 many green cards marriages as you want. But I think 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.400 with after nine eleven they put the clamp on it. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:31.200 And you're married three times or two two and a half. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.920 As you say that, how do you make your money? 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.080 Though you said you had millions of dollars? Did you 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.119 inherit the money? Did you? Did you work in business 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:43.320 and make them up? There was some inheritance, but my 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:49.919 wife and I were very frugal. Um for the first uh, 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:54.199 i'd say twenty years of our marriage, I was a 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.040 I'm very talented when it comes to carpentry and this 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:05.920 common sense and we uh uh set up a relationship 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.239 with a widow that had a state home and I 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.800 was I did all the maintenance, security and so on, 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:18.080 long work and everything there. And we had one bill 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:22.359 for about eighteen years was our phone bill was seventy 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.120 I'll never forget it was seventeen dollars and sixty three 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.960 cents a month. That was the only bill. We had 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:34.000 no red and we were both working hard. Um, we 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.200 didn't have any kids. We decided we weren't going to 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.040 have any kids because we were traveling and we were 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:44.399 having a ball. So when when the widow died, she 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.400 left us some money, but we had already amassed uh 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:53.040 pretty good fortunate at that time. Added it together, we 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.240 wounded up with two million dollars in cash and real estate. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.680 I had the rental property, had some farms, had a 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.439 hunt lodge. You were living large, stock you were you 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.280 were large and in charge making that kind of money 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.000 there with well, but you know, I will say this 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.080 dock over the over the years you've been calling show, 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.240 you don't seem like at this point you really care 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.040 about money that much. You gotta have money, but you 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.320 don't seem to really be too obsessed with money, you know. 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.600 And you know, after the state bankrupted me, they I 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.560 went through my million in about ten years, you know, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.240 in and out of court with the state, all right. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.040 And I found out at that time that it just 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.200 takes a little bit of dough to get to tomorrow. 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.480 This morning, as I was riding through the desert, I 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.399 saw some guy carrying a half a dozen plastic bags. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.480 I know he was homeless. And the desert is reasonably 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.359 warm here, it's about sixty degrees but he had a 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.320 heavy code on and and I don't know if he 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.720 slept under a bridge or what. But he's going to 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.960 be here today all day, and I'll be here tomorrow too. 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.280 And I know he's got a lot of less than 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.720 I do. I've got a vehicle, and uh, here I 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.879 am talking to one of the premier radio broadcasters on 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.480 the planet. Be sure to catch live editions of The 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.639 Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m. 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:21.440 Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Well, 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.080 thank you. You know, I'm just fascinated by you. Doc. 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.160 You started calling the show, and we've had so many 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.919 great moments on the show, and in part of the 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.040 Mallard Militia, the magic of the Mallar Militia in those 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.560 early days, Doc, when you were my caller from Chicago 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.080 and we were we were rocking the radio at night there. 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.240 That was back in the steroid era of baseball. But 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.680 over the years, just for some people that are new 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:46.600 to the show that don't know some of the great 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.800 moments in the past, uh the some of the stories 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.280 I recall, but the goat heads always come up. The 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.720 bloody goat beer, the beer for losers, the Cub futility. 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:01.080 And one of my favorite Doc Mike story is for 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:06.720 years you would go somewhere around Wrigley Field and you 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.439 would drop off a goat head, a bloody goathhead around 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.479 Wrigley Field. And this was the thing until the Cubs finally, 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:15.600 you know, won the World Series a few years ago. 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.480 But uh, and you'd call us up and tell us. 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.199 You'd call me up and say, Hey, this is what 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.120 I'm gonna do and whatever. You and then you started 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.600 calling me while you were doing it. You say, hey, Ben, 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.480 I'm outside. You know, I'm outside Wrigley I'm on this street. 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:31.400 You know I'm near the Harry Carry Statue or whatever 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.040 it might be. And so you give me like the 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.400 whole blow by blow as it's happening. And this thing 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.119 blew up, Doc. And you remember it was the cub 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.240 opening day. I think they were playing the Giants, the 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:47.520 San Francisco Giants, and it was raining in Chicago. I 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:52.960 guess started raining yet okay, dropped when it was dry, 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.960 and they canceled the game prior to the rain. Yeah, 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.119 so so the Cubs. So the Cubs open day is canceled, 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.080 and it's your baseball opening days a big deal and 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.080 people kind of move on from baseball until later in 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.240 the year, and so so the baseball the baseball writers 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:14.360 needed something to write about. And the headline story all 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.040 over the sports websites and this became like a news 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.480 story was that the Cub game was was rained out 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:26.000 and somebody had dropped off a bloody goat head at 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.800 the Cub offices. And the funniest part of it was 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.960 the mayor of Chicago at the time, Ram Emmanuel, at 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:37.600 a news conference announced on television to the whole world 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:42.120 that the Chicago Police Department was going to find out 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.480 who did this, that there was a top priority with 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.919 all the crime going on in parts of Chicago, that 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.119 the Mayor of Chicago was going to get to the 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.359 bottom of this dock. And I am laughing. I'm like, 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.080 wait a minute, I have a voicemail message from Doc 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.760 as he was doing it, which I think is incriminating. 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.919 It is, but you you had said, Doc that you 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.360 know the you were buddies with the police and all 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.280 that they were all there. You know they knew everyone 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.320 around Wrigley Field, right, you still do, I think? Well, 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:14.600 you know, the deal was the mayor was arguing with 0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:18.720 the rickets, the billionaires that wanted to rip off the 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.040 state for about I think it was a hundred three 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:26.280 hundred seventy five million to Redo Wrigley held. And they were, 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.439 you know, in and out of court. They were so 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.000 in them. They were trying to get the money. These 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.919 are billionaires that had three hundred seventy five million, you know, 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:38.840 his pocket change, okay, because they run that a merrit trade. 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.560 The rickets run the merritrade. They're making a billion dollars 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:46.360 a day. Okay. So they when the when the bloody 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:51.680 go ahead showed up, they accused the mayor of sending it, 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:56.280 and they contacted the mayor's secretary and she said, no, 0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:03.080 the mayor sends fish wrapped up. That's the Chicago thing, 0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.960 you know, it's sleeping with the fishes. So and and 0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:13.359 the story goes that he when he was younger, he 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.679 and in politics. He was running some kind of a 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.280 campaign and the guy that was in charge of it 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:25.840 lost for that kendidate, so rom sent him a fish 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:28.720 in a paper bag or wrapped up in some newspaper. 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:30.359 You know, you're going to be sleeping with the fishes. 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:34.760 I never heard this story secretary knew that, so she said, no, 0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.280 he sends fish. It was somebody else to put the 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:39.719 boat head over there. And of course I know all 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.800 the cops around the stadium. They're great bunch of guys. 0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:48.000 And you know, they went over there. This guy Brown, 0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.439 who was their marketing guy. He was the one that 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.440 started it. They didn't give the box with the head 0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.480 to the Rickets headed addressed at the Rickets. Uh you 0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:00.800 know Junior Water his name is, that owns the Cubs. 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.480
