Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

Speaker 1: see what you're doing.
Speaker 3: They told me, don't take it on the airplane.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we a lot of we think pretty good stuff.
Speaker 1: We think pretty good stuff. You will ultimately be the
Speaker 1: judge of whether it's pretty good stuff or not on
Speaker 1: this on this podcast. But it's Saturday. It's about the
Speaker 1: life and times of myself and Danny and things that
Speaker 1: have taken place recently. Stories behind the microphone, things that
Speaker 1: happened behind the microphone at Fox Sports Radio, Danny on
Speaker 1: with Covino and Rich and hanging out there in Viva
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and you got me from the Overnight show.
Speaker 1: So another story. Yesterday we talked about my walk in
Speaker 1: the park and I was doing my radio hit in
Speaker 1: New Zealand and then all of a sudden there was
Speaker 1: a fire. Trace got a weird thing. Fire truck went
Speaker 1: vi not weird, it's normal thing, but they did not
Speaker 1: expect it and became a big, big point of conversation
Speaker 1: on that show. So another story about me wandering around
Speaker 1: this is this is a two fold story. So I
Speaker 1: called the double Wamy. Danny, I called the double Wamy.
Speaker 3: Got a backup. For one second, I couldn't find siren
Speaker 3: effects in my library yesterday. I kind of swore you've
Speaker 3: done sirens on the podcast before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna see you're gonna try to get me
Speaker 1: to do a siren and I'm not gonna fall into
Speaker 1: your trap. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fall in
Speaker 1: your trap. That's not gonna happen. Maybe tomorrow, but not
Speaker 1: not today. So the double whammy thing. So I get up.
Speaker 1: I changed my schedule a little bit. I don't go
Speaker 1: to bed as late as I used to. I get up.
Speaker 1: I try to start my day. Instead of ending my
Speaker 1: day with the workout, I try to start my day.
Speaker 1: Think's better to sleep and then work out when you
Speaker 1: wake up, hit your day start. So I've been doing
Speaker 1: this for the last couple of weeks. Who I've been
Speaker 1: getting up a little bit earlier than I normally do
Speaker 1: and and just try to go out and get alectras.
Speaker 1: I usually go to the gym, but a couple of
Speaker 1: days this week I decided to go for a walk. Okay,
Speaker 1: big deal, who cares? You know what? Happened on one
Speaker 1: of the days where I had that incident with the
Speaker 1: you know, the the New Zealand people. So another day,
Speaker 1: I get up early, I go out and I'm walking
Speaker 1: and I really went far, like I went on a
Speaker 1: like a a six seven mile walk. I just I
Speaker 1: was going for it, and you know, I'm doing my thing.
Speaker 1: And there's some some nice trails where I'm at in
Speaker 1: the north Woods and some nice places to walk, and
Speaker 1: so is out walking around and joined the nice weather,
Speaker 1: and I'm walking and walking and people walking by, you know,
Speaker 1: some people wave, some people don't wave. And then I
Speaker 1: get about two miles in to the walk and I
Speaker 1: looked down and I'm like, oh, wait a minute, there's
Speaker 1: something something is not right with my wardrobe. And I
Speaker 1: was really kind of tired. I really owned I looked groggy,
Speaker 1: a little foggy, and I really unsure what was going on.
Speaker 1: And it didn't seem like anybody noticed anything. People were
Speaker 1: waving or whatever. And then I looked down again and
Speaker 1: I had the light bulb go off in my head
Speaker 1: that for a two mile walk to the first two
Speaker 1: miles of the walk, I had gone. I got up
Speaker 1: in a hurry. I put my clothes on. I left
Speaker 1: the house and I had put my shirt on inside
Speaker 1: out and was walking, uh with the tags hanging out
Speaker 1: of my my.
Speaker 3: Shirt, the Costco tags.
Speaker 1: It was a little it was a little embarrassing. So
Speaker 1: I had to pull off to the side and do
Speaker 1: the quick switch over, you know, the quick pretend like
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, you know. And then I'd walked by
Speaker 1: the same people that I know they noticed. How do
Speaker 1: you not notice that somebody's wearing their shirt inside out?
Speaker 3: Right, it's not as bad as the fur that was
Speaker 3: all over your clothes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was embarrassing. When the Queen's like, oh
Speaker 1: you you got a dog cat? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: that was embarrassing. So I did that, and then the
Speaker 1: I mentioned it was the double whammie, So fine, whatever,
Speaker 1: that's minor a big deal. Wear your shirt inside out,
Speaker 1: you know who cares? So and after my walk is complete,
Speaker 1: I walked for several hours. I get back to the house,
Speaker 1: the Malor Mansion, and my my toe on my left foot.
Speaker 1: It feels a little like something's going on there, but
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what. I was like, well, that's probably nothing,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'm just imagining things. So I take
Speaker 1: my shoes off and then take the socks off. That's
Speaker 1: usually what happened. Shoes off, four socks. So I do
Speaker 1: all that and then I find whatever. And my number
Speaker 1: two toe on my left foot looks like it has
Speaker 1: grown a second toe. There is a giant blood blister
Speaker 1: the and I don't want to exaggerate, Danny, but it's
Speaker 1: the size of North Dakota. I mean, just filled with
Speaker 1: goo and puss and blood.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for the visual.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I get the biggest blisters and I got
Speaker 1: these new socks that it must be my shoes that
Speaker 1: are the problem. I must have the shoes. Now, do
Speaker 1: you get blisters of the shoes are too small or
Speaker 1: if they're too big, what is more likely to give
Speaker 1: you blisters?
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure the smaller the shoe, the more friction
Speaker 3: it causes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm thinking too, that my
Speaker 1: shoes are too too small.
Speaker 3: That your damn feet are still growing.
Speaker 1: God, it's a blessing and a curse. Big feet.
Speaker 3: Yeah you Shaq and KD with some ugly feet.
Speaker 1: Shack makes shack makes me look like a nine year
Speaker 1: old girl with my my feet next to Shaquille o'neo.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, so yeah, I got the double amy.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the walk I got. I felt like I
Speaker 1: got a lot of exercise. I felt like I was
Speaker 1: accomplished in working out, and I felt pretty good about that.
Speaker 1: And then I looked at my toe. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, that is not that is not good. Now.
Speaker 1: The good thing, though, I will say about a blister,
Speaker 1: is you just pop that, right, You pop it, and
Speaker 1: then you drain it and then you're back there. You're
Speaker 1: pretty good, right, You're okay, just put a bandage on it.
Speaker 1: You're all right now. Yeah, so I'm gonna have what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do.
Speaker 3: Is takes left of the skin.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think what I'll do a couple of uh,
Speaker 1: like Baz, you know, a couple of bad you know,
Speaker 1: take the bath and then take a take a couple
Speaker 1: like a couple of days off.
Speaker 3: Yea from the from Milwaukee, you're like Lebron recently talked
Speaker 3: about how his feet were like a twenty three escalade
Speaker 3: that have never had new tires, and now it's twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four and he has to ask his wife please
Speaker 3: rub my tootsies?
Speaker 1: Where is she the one that was with Chris. You
Speaker 1: were the one with Chris Paul. I've seen Chris Paul's hands.
Speaker 1: They're disgusting, uh horrible, Like the finger he's got finger
Speaker 1: pointing the wrong direction is It's just terrible. It's it's
Speaker 1: like a horror show with him. It's a pathetic. But anyway,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really more about you, Danny. I think
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's it's a bit about me.
Speaker 1: It's about you, Danny. That's what this is about. This
Speaker 1: podcast is really about you. You know.

Speaker 3: and I'm like, good for you. I was working my
Speaker 3: first job for Oh.
Speaker 1: So you're you got the treatment I got from that
Speaker 1: punkt at Liberty University.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But you know, at the same time, she's
Speaker 3: she's looking at him, sitting down by me playing with
Speaker 3: the toys, and she's doing the whole mom thinking like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, my heart's melting.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: That would be enough emotions for a Saturday afternoon for me,
Speaker 3: Big Ben. I was raised in a family where you
Speaker 3: weren't allowed to cry. Shut the hell up. You're a boy. Boys,
Speaker 3: don't cry. Rub some dirt on it. My family was
Speaker 3: very much shut the hell up, you're not allowed to whine.
Speaker 3: In fact, my grandfather he coined the phrase, quit your
Speaker 3: damned winding, Cynthia, get your damned kids out of my garage.
Speaker 3: They're winding again.
Speaker 1: That must be a grandfather, Mike. Mike, one of my
Speaker 1: grandfathers was the same man. We would raise a ruckus
Speaker 1: and he would just shoot us down right.
Speaker 3: Ay, dude, there were like all these menly men around
Speaker 3: us who fought in wars, and yeah, you know they kick.
Speaker 1: The greatest generation they called it, yeah generation.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My uh, my grandfather a former sergeant in the military,
Speaker 3: so he was up there in the ranks. With those
Speaker 3: kind of people around you. You grow up to not
Speaker 3: show a lot of emotions. I couldn't help it in
Speaker 3: this case. Thank god, my girl was the only one
Speaker 3: around who saw this baby koa he as I've said
Speaker 3: on a previous podcast, he says, da da da da.
Speaker 3: I even use it as a little drop now in
Speaker 3: the podcast. I Aha, doesn't matter if a brother, sister,
Speaker 3: siblings holding him. He's yelling about Dada. He wants to
Speaker 3: play with a pile of toys. Mom's trying to change them.
Speaker 3: He's yelling for dadak because he wants toys. He didn't
Speaker 3: want to wipey on his face. Leave me alone. He's
Speaker 3: want an air swab or a little baby toothbrush. Get that
Speaker 3: crap away from me.
Speaker 1: Da da da da.
Speaker 3: But it's just been a signal that he wants to
Speaker 3: play right now. He's never actually looked me in the
Speaker 3: eyes and spoken to me before until Saturday afternoon. He
Speaker 3: has a rubber remote control so that they don't have
Speaker 3: to take the one with germs on it and put
Speaker 3: that in their mouth. You give this to him to
Speaker 3: try to trick them, like, no, no, no, this is
Speaker 3: your remote, and it's made out of that real rubber,
Speaker 3: so that they can jab that thing in their mouth and.
Speaker 1: The delicious rubber.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bite their gums on it. Right. So I give
Speaker 3: him this blue fake remote. He throws it. He wants
Speaker 3: the real one. So while I'm not looking, he grabs
Speaker 3: the little firestick remote and puts it right to his mouth.
Speaker 3: I grab it away from him. He turns his head
Speaker 3: kind of to the side, looks me right in the
Speaker 3: eyes and says, dad.
Speaker 1: Dah, oh, I'm trying to negotiate.
Speaker 3: This to me. Finally got it. I finally got it
Speaker 3: to my mouth, and you're gonna take it away from me. Ben.
Speaker 3: I melted like a baby. I mean, all right here,
Speaker 3: watch whatever you want, yeah, man, and you want to
Speaker 3: eat this remote?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Fine. But he that's the first time now that he's
Speaker 3: actually addressed me, you know, And unfortunately he was offended
Speaker 3: in this moment. But it was so damn cute that
Speaker 3: I see my wife crying and I'm like, oh god,
Speaker 3: now I know why parents turned mush around their little kids.
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, Dad, when you kept saying and he
Speaker 1: said that, I thought of Bam Bam from the Flinty Yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: he is like Bam Bam. Barney's Barney's kid, right, Barne's kidding.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1: So he's a very social young lad, right. He seems
Speaker 1: seems like he's pretty yeahitting up in his high chair
Speaker 1: so around everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a ton of personality. He's only got
Speaker 3: two modes. He's like his mom. He's either super happy
Speaker 3: or he's got a super resting babyface. He's either super
Speaker 3: happy or super pissed off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we have talked about this in previous episodes
Speaker 1: of this podcast. But the key is to have him
Speaker 1: watch a lot of football with you and a lot
Speaker 1: of sports with you before he gets on the TikTok
Speaker 1: and the social media and you know all that. Such.
Speaker 3: He ain't gonna let him go on social media. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be throwing the nerf around with him in the
Speaker 3: front yard.
Speaker 1: But you got to get booked and then because otherwise
Speaker 1: he'll go off into like zombie mode and it'll be
Speaker 1: like the zombie Apocalypse and all that.
Speaker 3: I should mention to you. His favorite toys right now.
Speaker 3: His uncle gave him this little plush raider football. He
Speaker 3: loves that. Great.
Speaker 1: That's awesome though. How how was you know? How's it look?
Speaker 3: He is three and a half years No, I'm kidding, he's.
Speaker 1: Just turned thirty five. For finally looked at you.
Speaker 3: He yeah, he's seven and a half months old.
Speaker 1: This is kind of cool. I have a cameo. I'm
Speaker 1: not promoting it. I used to promote it, but I'm
Speaker 1: like whatever, it's there. If you're on cameo and you
Speaker 1: type my name in, it'll come up, and I'd love
Speaker 1: to do it. It's not free. It's a little video
Speaker 1: tribute thing, and so out of the blue, I had
Speaker 1: not got one of these in months, and a guy
Speaker 1: who's a fan of the show obviously tracked me down
Speaker 1: on cameo and wanted to little little video thing for
Speaker 1: his buddies. And I love this because he wanted me
Speaker 1: to bust balls. His friends were giving him a hard
Speaker 1: time for listening to the show, my show, so he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta set these guys straight. So he gave me
Speaker 1: a little intel and we had. We had a good time,
Speaker 1: so it was it was cool. I love I love
Speaker 1: those kind of things other than you know, Casey casem

Speaker 1: I talk about athletes and sticks and balls. That's what
Speaker 1: I talk about, Eddie, grown men that play with sticks
Speaker 1: and balls.
Speaker 3: How has Lorena been doing on the drops? By the way,
Speaker 3: I taught her how to use the racist. Has she
Speaker 3: used it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I'm a big fan. As Marcel calls her, Lorraine,
Speaker 1: ah puts to the uh at the end of it.
Speaker 1: But she's she's been good on the drop. She has
Speaker 1: played some old drops, which as your influence, and it
Speaker 1: has gotten some compliments on social media, and I just
Speaker 1: love that she's generally a positive person, which is good.
Speaker 1: I'm not used to that any names, but there's no
Speaker 1: MOPI face. You know. She seems genuinely happy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she loves being in radio the same as us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she does. She seems to really enjoy. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot of perks. We've had listeners that have
Speaker 1: been really great and spoiled us. In the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. It just kind of coincided with her getting
Speaker 1: the job, you know, with Sam going to to the
Speaker 1: day shift in her Kmmitar shift. And we've had a
Speaker 1: couple of giant boxes.
Speaker 3: I've seen that where they throw all the mail by
Speaker 3: the update door. Sure, and yeah, I've seen boxes that
Speaker 3: say I saw one that said for the Miller for
Speaker 3: Bill Miller's show, and I was like, that's somebody that's funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's been it's been great. We've got these
Speaker 1: big boxes, the little Debbies.
Speaker 3: We had what was in the Vovo box?
Speaker 1: Oh, well that was more little debbiees. Somebody was in
Speaker 1: a Vovo box. We had dessert from Wisconsin, our guy.
Speaker 3: From Kilster little Debbie Easter treats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the Eastern lineup for this weekend that came
Speaker 1: and then we got some tasty cakes in the mail.
Speaker 1: From a guy who's from the Northeast but lives in Florida.
Speaker 1: So it's been very, very cool. And it's all because
Speaker 1: of that schmucks or scratch off who promised us little
Speaker 1: Debbie cakes and then failed to deliver the little Debbie cakes,
Speaker 1: and then other people had to step.
Speaker 3: Up this wet night in disguise, it did work.
Speaker 1: Out in our favor. This guy, Michael from Providence, a
Speaker 1: big fan of the show, and he just kept you know,
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, I he's our guy. He knows a guy,
Speaker 1: and he's our guy. And you gotta know a guy.
Speaker 1: Danny the Keta life is known a guy in any
Speaker 1: area of life.
Speaker 3: Right, especially as we get into into the baseball season here,
Speaker 3: we're not going to be able to go to any
Speaker 3: Dodger games. Well you are because you know a guy there.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I don't anymore. Actually I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I got bumped because of Otani the Dodgers, I did
Speaker 1: not say.
Speaker 3: So what they shrunk our media pool?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, they And these are people, these are people
Speaker 1: I've known for like thirty years that they determined that
Speaker 1: we're not important, they don't care about the American media. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you.
Speaker 3: Could speak Japanese and you did hit on their radio stations,
Speaker 3: but they let you go.
Speaker 1: It was funny because I talked to a buddy of
Speaker 1: mine who was actually he got bumped as well. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers spit a looge in his face as well. And uh,
Speaker 1: he had been doing that longer than I have. And
Speaker 1: he's older, much older than I am. And and we
Speaker 1: we're talking about you know, I only did if I
Speaker 1: spoke Japanese, they would they would roll out the red
Speaker 1: carpetfore me. But hey, I get it. They're making their money,
Speaker 1: you know. They they feel like they've tapped out I
Speaker 1: guess in America how much money they can make. And
Speaker 1: they they get all these Japanese media to promote the
Speaker 1: Dodgers in Tokyo and all the other places there in Japan,
Speaker 1: and they can make their money. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I'll be at any Dodger games this year.
Speaker 1: I might randomly be able to go, but no, it's
Speaker 1: it's not like it was.
Speaker 3: It's I used to sneak in through the employee parking lot,
Speaker 3: remember on the show. Yeah, yeah, but you can't do
Speaker 3: that anymore, even with I used my iHeart badge and
Speaker 3: they just let me walk in and as long as
Speaker 3: I took a seat that wasn't taken by anybody, the
Speaker 3: security was fine with it. But that was you know,
Speaker 3: that was what eight nine years ago. You could never
Speaker 3: get away with that right now.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's it's a whole it's a whole different ballgame,
Speaker 1: which is fine. I've had my time. It's fine if
Speaker 1: they it's one of those things. So I'm a big believer.
Speaker 1: You gotta dance with the one that brought you, you know,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And they feel a little different
Speaker 1: over there, and you know everyone's getting everyone's getting ten
Speaker 1: year contracts, so I guess they're they're doing. Whatever they're
Speaker 1: doing is working.
Speaker 3: Are they the new Angels? The Angels used to spit
Speaker 3: loogi's at you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But here's the funny thing. The Angels loved last
Speaker 1: year that Otani was there. They we smoked the peace pipe.
Speaker 3: That's right. I think they knew the writing was on
Speaker 3: the wall. They're like, ah, whatever, sick of fighting off
Speaker 3: this guy and others. Let them feast on the last
Speaker 3: season for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I will not be at unless Marlin's
Speaker 1: man calls me and says Hey, you want to sit
Speaker 1: behind and play with me. I'm like, yeah, sure, whatever,
Speaker 1: I'll take the night off time out for the idiom
Speaker 1: of the week. Idiom of the week. Hey another request, Danny,
Speaker 1: How cool is this back to back belly to belly Damn?
Speaker 3: This one from Shadow Stevens.
Speaker 1: This is from grandma. There's there's a nice reference Grandma
Speaker 1: mary Anne from Tennessee rode in. Now, We're not gonna
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time this but her idiom ofther
Speaker 1: we she wanted to know, let the cat out of
Speaker 1: the bag. We've had this one before, so this is
Speaker 1: not hard, Danny. She is a but but the grand
Speaker 1: when the grandma asked something. You know, when a nice
Speaker 1: grandma wants something, you take care of the grandma. You
Speaker 1: got to take care of grandma. So Grandma Marianne in
Speaker 1: Tennessee wants us to do the cat out of the bag.
Speaker 1: And we used this a while back. But it actually
Speaker 1: goes back to the Middle Ages and the story and
Speaker 1: who knows if it's true or not. The story that
Speaker 1: has been passed down from generations is much like today.
Speaker 1: There's a certain percentage of human beings. There are schmucks
Speaker 1: and a holes and all that, and in the Middle Ages,
Speaker 1: the legend is a long long time ago and a
Speaker 1: land far far away, there were some shady livestock people
Speaker 1: at the marketplace, the medieval marketplace, who were trying to
Speaker 1: swindle people looking to buy livestock. And people would purchase
Speaker 1: a pig and the vendor, maybe they'd buy a couple
Speaker 1: of pigs, but the vendor would sneak a cat in
Speaker 1: the bag as well, or a couple of cats, cheating
Speaker 1: the person out of the pig, which was worth more money.
Speaker 1: And and what would typically happens, the person would not
Speaker 1: find out about that until they got home and and
Speaker 1: literally let the cat out of a bag and realized
Speaker 1: they had been ripped off. And of course by then
Speaker 1: the medieval marketplace had closed up and they were moving
Speaker 1: on to the next city, and and that was it.
Speaker 1: Now there's some people think that story is bullshit, that
Speaker 1: that's not actually how how it happened. But I I
Speaker 1: think some version of that, maybe not exactly the way
Speaker 1: that story's been passed down, actually happened. And it's similar
Speaker 1: the same thing about spilling the beans. It's a similar
Speaker 1: concept that it also goes back to ancient times and
Speaker 1: all that the spill the beans and whatnot. So anyway,
Speaker 1: this week, thank you to Grandma Marianne. The idiom of
Speaker 1: the week. Left the cat out of the bag, the
Speaker 1: old switcheroo at the evil marketplace. There you go, time
Speaker 1: out for let's go to pop goes the culture, Pop
Speaker 1: goes the culture? All right, John, John, all Rightah, we
Speaker 1: love Ohio Al He's our man. So this video went viral.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing you guys talked about this on Covino and
Speaker 1: Vich Rampaging monkeys a gang of monkeys terrorizing tourists in
Speaker 1: a Thai town and cops had to arm themselves with
Speaker 1: sling shots and tranquilizer guns because there were literally hundreds
Speaker 1: of primates running amok harassing people in this town. And
Speaker 1: the video on this is just outstanding.
Speaker 3: Adults us to to take our slingshots away from us
Speaker 3: when we were kids, remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, you take an eye out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that skill would have came in so handy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Or you can get like a big flamethrower I've heard,
Speaker 1: and just shoot the fire out and just knock yourself out,
Speaker 1: Just knock your knock your socks out with the flamethrower
Speaker 1: and have a fine fine time. What else do we have? Uh, well,
Speaker 1: they had the big auction, big Hollywood prop auction took
Speaker 1: place this week and it's been going on here. The
Speaker 1: Titanic door raft, the Jones whip sold for big money.
Speaker 1: But I did read the the red satin thong from
Speaker 1: the Full Monty did not did not excite the people.
Speaker 1: They were not interested in the Full Monty.
Speaker 3: How about Genie satin nightgown?
Speaker 1: I'm a doctor. I have a satin nightgown on this auction.
Speaker 1: The millions and millions from Hollywood props and all that,
Speaker 1: and they it was funny, though. The one thing that
Speaker 1: stood out that nobody wanted was the red song from
Speaker 1: that guy. That movie's twenty seven years old, though, Holy crap.
Speaker 3: You know what, though, you'd have to be a big
Speaker 3: time nerd of a movie or you know, a show
Speaker 3: or something like that. If you want a collectible that
Speaker 3: costs thousands of dollars, Really, what are you going to
Speaker 3: do with it besides let it collect dust? Is it
Speaker 3: just a conversation piece? Are you going to show it off?
Speaker 3: When people look at my whip from the Innah Jones movie.
Speaker 1: That's the original whip from Temple of.
Speaker 3: Dool hold it. This is the Really there's DNA on
Speaker 3: it from Harrison Ford. What a big nerd you'd have
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of people that love this stuff.
Speaker 1: And Toby McGuire's Spider Man suit was also old.
Speaker 3: Now that's cool because you could go fight crime on
Speaker 3: the weekends.
Speaker 1: If you're exactly the same height as Toby McGuire, you
Speaker 1: could you could do that. Does it come with the web?
Speaker 1: You think it includes the web?
Speaker 3: Well they have the web little machines for kids that
Speaker 3: shoot out that web stuff. That would have amazed me
Speaker 3: as a six year old because we used to tie
Speaker 3: jump ropes around our wrist with our Spider Man mask
Speaker 3: and throw the whip with it tied on our wrist.
Speaker 3: That was our web back in Holden days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're old school. Here's another odd thing, the
Speaker 1: axe from the Shining. You see that movie with the
Speaker 1: Shining that also sold for the same price as the
Speaker 1: Spider Man suit. How is the axe from the Shining
Speaker 1: worth the same as a freaking Spider Man That messes
Speaker 1: up my spidy like senses. I don't know what that's
Speaker 1: all about. How dare you? I saw Bill Murray's bowling
Speaker 1: ball from Kingpin sold for a few hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: They say that that means it is the world's most
Speaker 1: valuable bowling ball. That Bill Murray's bowling ball from Kingpin
Speaker 1: the most valuable bowling ball in the world. So who
Speaker 1: you think you are?
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 1: We should have a Fox Sports Radio auction. We should
Speaker 1: do that. We should we put together like this is
Speaker 1: a this a pend that j Moore used. There's a
Speaker 1: coffee cup that Pat O'Brien, we've.
Speaker 3: Talked about Casey Kase this week. We have the countdown
Speaker 3: plaque with his name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can do that. We got the you know,
Speaker 1: all the all the greats that worked there, Bob Golick
Speaker 1: back in the day, worked at our place, the great
Speaker 1: the Bob Golick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could sell your watch that.
Speaker 1: Pulled out a plastic bag of roll exus. You are one,
Speaker 1: Ben sure, no problem, Thank you, Pat, I appreciate that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith when he worked at our plays like
Speaker 1: Stephen A left photos of himself in there, so you
Speaker 1: can get one of those photos of Steven A.
Speaker 3: Oh and as far as the Mallard Militia goes, we
Speaker 3: still have some of Jeanie's ashes left.
Speaker 1: Oh that isn't funny. Oh well, that's very valuable. Absolutely, well,
Speaker 1: she didn't need them because you know, she's on a
Speaker 1: run away. But we have the bench. We traded the bench.
Speaker 1: We have the bench there, so we're good in that
Speaker 1: in that department.
Speaker 3: What else do we have On the top of her
Speaker 3: ashes you could smoke him. There was so much dicotine
Speaker 3: in her system, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: And other things and and other things. I see. Oh
Speaker 1: that story out of New York. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: You guys talked about this. It's so ridiculous. They they've agreed,
Speaker 1: the politicians to up the price during the day inbound
Speaker 1: to Lower Manhattan fifteen dollars toll to enter Lower Manhattan has.
Speaker 3: Been Oh yeah, yeah, Rich was talking about this.
Speaker 1: Fifteen dollars.
Speaker 3: What a rip, what a scam. And it's not worth
Speaker 3: it to have your own car there. It's not worth it.
Speaker 1: No, it's not.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: My brother lives in the village near the village there
Speaker 1: near NYU and Manhattan, and he does have a car.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's gonna get rid of it though,
Speaker 1: I'll have to know.
Speaker 3: Did they give you a price break if you buy
Speaker 3: like a yearly toll card or whatever.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't see that, but I did see this
Speaker 1: is convenient all the government workers because there's the New
Speaker 1: York like the Mayor's office and all that's in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 1: All the political big shots are in Lower Manhattan. And
Speaker 1: so they're like, well, the political people will not have
Speaker 1: to pay the fifteen dollars. They'll they'll be good. So
Speaker 1: but that's a lot of people. Actually, that's a large
Speaker 1: group of people that will not have to pay the
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks. So anyway, that's that's annoying. I hate the
Speaker 1: whole the whole thing. They never go down, they only
Speaker 1: go off. Yep, it's so ridiculous. Imagine what it's going
Speaker 1: to be in twenty years. If it's fifteen dollars, now,
Speaker 1: imagine where we're going to be twenty years from now,
Speaker 1: and how that's that's gonna go.
Speaker 3: My goodness, like the Dodger dog Weeni's they ain't never
Speaker 3: gonna come back down to five dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh, no, forget about that. I saw this week Pete Vessi,
Speaker 1: the old NBA inside of the original WOJ Pete Vessie
Speaker 1: and he's still doing stuff on social media.
Speaker 3: He's retired on inside the NBA on NBC with.
Speaker 1: The John tesh yea, the great John tesh music VESSI
Speaker 1: sent out this thing that the it was from the
Speaker 1: I don't even know he sent it out or he
Speaker 1: responded to it, but was from the Washington Bullets in
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, and they had a promotion, you know,
Speaker 1: B Free Night or whatever like, well, you know, buy
Speaker 1: a ticket and get a ticket for free. If the
Speaker 1: Washington Bullets such an offensive name, uh, and that, by
Speaker 1: the way, that did stop gun violence. They changed the
Speaker 1: name because they thought that was inspiring gun violence in DC.
Speaker 1: No one's ever gotten shot in DC since they got
Speaker 1: rid of the Bullets nickname. So that was a good
Speaker 1: decision by the people that owned the Bullets. Were much safer,
Speaker 1: were a much safer society since that. So the Bullets
Speaker 1: were playing the San Diego Clippers who had Lloyd Free
Speaker 1: better known as World B Free, and the promotion was
Speaker 1: by a seven, one fifty or four fifty ticket four
Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents. And if the Bullets hold World
Speaker 1: Be Free under his season average, you'll get to redeem
Speaker 1: your ticket stuff to get another ticket for free to
Speaker 1: a future game. And it was just crazy ticket for
Speaker 1: seven to fifty wow to an NBA game, and they
Speaker 1: were they were trying to get you to come in there,
Speaker 1: and they had they had deals for kids, you know,
Speaker 1: go free basketball cards.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like the time I saw Dominique Wilkins play
Speaker 3: at the LA Sports Arena against your Clippers.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Take played for the Clippers too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he was on the Hawks. You know what
Speaker 3: the sports arena was good for back then to see
Speaker 3: the star of the other team that was in town.
Speaker 1: Well they used to advertise, Yeah, to promote the star
Speaker 1: of the other team. That was their big their big deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the sports Arena was I have fun memories. It's gone.
Speaker 1: They tore there's a soccer stadium there now, Yeah, sure
Speaker 1: where it used to be. Uh LAFC Is that the
Speaker 1: team that plays there?

Speaker 1: LA FC plays there. Are my guy, Dave Denholm, who
Speaker 1: I worked with early on in my career. I think
Speaker 1: he's the play by play guy, I think for that team.
Speaker 3: I don't know a BMO stadium I knew it had.
Speaker 1: Boy, Yes, everyone's got bo If you don't shower, eam
