Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. Welcome into the audio Dojo, a
Speaker 1: another spin around the audio world. As it is The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g On this
Speaker 1: the thirtieth day of December. Happy Saturday, Happy Saturday, a
Speaker 1: long holiday weekend for most. As we are here hanging
Speaker 1: out with you every single day of the week, fresh
Speaker 1: audio content just ready to be delivered, hyping hot right
Speaker 1: into your ear drums. On this holiday weekend and on
Speaker 1: this edition of the Fifth Hour, we've got Benny Brittle.
Speaker 1: Nerds are real, the firm of the week, the term
Speaker 1: of the week, and you never know what else is
Speaker 1: going to pop up. So that's at least the base,
Speaker 1: that's how we're going to start. And then things happen.
Speaker 1: Things happen so I wanted to start with this. Now.
Speaker 1: We had the Malor Holiday party last weekend on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: Now Hetbridge Farm remembers the mal Holiday Party, which is
Speaker 1: not to be confused. A lot of people confuse this
Speaker 1: with the Ugly Sweater party, and it's often mixed up.
Speaker 1: And I just want you to know and not to
Speaker 1: be corny or you know, it's a heartwarming event holiday party,
Speaker 1: nothing like the ugly sweater part. It's almost all family.
Speaker 1: There's a few friends, but it's almost all family at
Speaker 1: the tabernacle, and it's just endless amounts of food and
Speaker 1: all that. This is a separate deal, separate deal. And
Speaker 1: here's the same thing that happens every year before every
Speaker 1: one of these parties, Danny g. Every year it is
Speaker 1: a mad dash. My wife runs around like the tornado,
Speaker 1: the Tasmanian devil, trying to make everything perfect right. Everything
Speaker 1: has to be just wonderful, beautiful, like it's back in
Speaker 1: colonial times. Everything's perfect right, Everything's just wonderful and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. And so there's like three or four days
Speaker 1: of preparation, buying crap, figuring out the menu of these parties,
Speaker 1: cleaning up everything, like the whole deal it's a big.
Speaker 3: You ever get tired of hosting all these parties?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because my wife freaks out Danny. She's like,
Speaker 1: oh my, if things are not perfect, it's very dramatic,
Speaker 1: and I don't need the drama, right, I'm good with
Speaker 1: the drama not being where it is now. The odd
Speaker 1: thing is like before the party, it reminds me of
Speaker 1: like a dramatic Shakespearean type play because it's so dramatic.
Speaker 1: But then afterwards it's Oh, I can't wait to host
Speaker 1: another one, and I'm like, wait a minute. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like we're running around, everyone's in a tizzy, and
Speaker 1: I was like, will we get this thing done or not?
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, it's just But anyway, so we
Speaker 1: had we had the holiday party, and as you know,
Speaker 1: being the king of introverts, Danny not a big party
Speaker 1: not a big party guy. But put on a happy face.
Speaker 1: Put on a happy face, and yet again morphed into
Speaker 1: Benny the Baker and over baked, made double the chocolate
Speaker 1: chip cookies, made some sugar cookies. Half of them were
Speaker 1: given green frosting, half of them are red. The Yin
Speaker 1: and the Yang, but the star of the show a
Speaker 1: debut item. You can call me now Benny Brittle. And
Speaker 1: not because I have Britle bones and I can't even
Speaker 1: get off a fire truck without my back hurting for
Speaker 1: a week. Not because of that. No, it's the delicious
Speaker 1: new treat that I and the confectionery have. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I've mastered it, but it's pretty good. It's
Speaker 1: pretty good. And that is the delicious new treat, the
Speaker 1: peanut brittle, homemade peanut brittle, which I have always loved
Speaker 1: peanut brittle. It is terrible for you, it's bad for
Speaker 1: your teeth, and you shouldn't eat it and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of sugar, and I get all that,
Speaker 1: but it's so freaking good. It is so so freaking good.
Speaker 3: This y that's in my top five.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I remember when I was a kid, and
Speaker 1: one of my fing favorite memories we went on a
Speaker 1: family vacation to Hawaii and it was a big deal,
Speaker 1: right for my mom and stuff, and you know, anyway
Speaker 1: you're Hawaii, it's a long trip. I've ended up lucky enough.
Speaker 1: I've been there many times over the years. But as
Speaker 1: a kid, I didn't really know what I was getting into.
Speaker 1: I didn't really appreciate it. The thing that I loved
Speaker 1: as a fat kid in Hawaii was mac Damien nut brittle.
Speaker 1: My mom got me a lot of that. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, this is like the greatest stuff I've ever had.
Speaker 3: Well, there's something about that and toffee both underrated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was able to make peanut brittle and
Speaker 1: it I think it's I'll have to I'll get you some, Dannie,
Speaker 1: I'll have to get you some. I know you're not
Speaker 1: eating sugar, so maybe I shouldn't get you some. But
Speaker 1: it's really easy to make. The only thing I had
Speaker 1: to get was they call it a candy thermometer, because
Speaker 1: the key to this is a science to it, and
Speaker 1: you've got to have the obviously the ingredients of the
Speaker 1: most important things corn syrup, sugar, salt, baking soda, and
Speaker 1: obviously a mother load of peanuts. But the science to
Speaker 1: it is you have to do it all to the
Speaker 1: right temperature and there's this sweet spot the goldilockswon for
Speaker 1: peanut brittle. And so you mix all these ingredients and
Speaker 1: you turn up the heat. You turn up the heat,
Speaker 1: and then it's the magic hour, the golden hour, as
Speaker 1: they say in photography right right before sunset, the golden hour,
Speaker 1: when the lights, you know, God's light is just there.
Speaker 1: It's perfect. The photos are amazing. You don't need to
Speaker 1: filter anything. So when the sticky goo gets to the
Speaker 1: perfect temperature, which is usually three hundred degrees to three
Speaker 1: hundred and ten degrees, you then while you are stirring
Speaker 1: it at that magical moment, you then quickly have to
Speaker 1: turn the stove off. You have to grab the giant
Speaker 1: bowl of sloppy, sugary peanutty syrup all too good to
Speaker 1: be true, and you then have to pour it in
Speaker 1: to a tray with parchment paper, and then you have
Speaker 1: to let it sit for like thirty forty minutes and
Speaker 1: that's all. So it's it's a lot of moving parts,
Speaker 1: but you can make it really great. And the thing
Speaker 1: that they got I've always loved is we talked about Danny.
Speaker 1: But I went to the store because I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't had it in a while. And
Speaker 1: I made it and and so I was like, Okay.
Speaker 1: I went to a store the other night this week
Speaker 1: and they were selling peanut brittle, like a small box
Speaker 1: of peanut brittle. Nine for a small box of peanut.
Speaker 1: What are they doing?
Speaker 4: It's crazy from your old producer, wrong button Bob. His
Speaker 4: daughter was doing a fundraiser for her preschool. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: was twenty two dollars for a box of peanut brittle.
Speaker 1: God, anytime you need peanut britle, I'll do it for it.
Speaker 1: I'm even think I might go next level and make
Speaker 1: macadamia nut brittle. How about that? I might go next
Speaker 1: level Macadamian nut brill.
Speaker 3: Last, ye crazy, You're going crazy?
Speaker 1: Now I'm going wild man. But you know who would
Speaker 1: buy that? The nerds? Because nerds are real Danny, and
Speaker 1: they would buy that. That Macadamian nut brill is what
Speaker 1: they would do.
Speaker 4: You know what nerds buy two hundred dollars musta made lightsabers.
Speaker 4: So we had this topic on Covino and Rich filling
Speaker 4: in for the Dan Patrick Show this past Thursday morning.
Speaker 4: What's worse a sports nerd or a regular nerd?
Speaker 1: Now you mean regular or do you mean a Disney nerd?
Speaker 1: Because I think regular nerd, Disney nerds, sports nerd are
Speaker 1: all different types of nerd. There's different qualities to each.
Speaker 4: That's a good point. But I guess the nerd would
Speaker 4: fall into the category of a regular nerd.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, because there are Disney nerds that are really stupid,
Speaker 1: but they're they love their Disney, right, and they're like,
Speaker 1: there's the Poindexter nerd that isn't into Disney and really
Speaker 1: isn't into sports, but it's like into like like there's
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess you'd call them like a sci
Speaker 1: fi nerd, Right, there's the sci Fi nerd, there's the
Speaker 1: Star Trek nerd, the Star Wars nerd, there's that nerd.
Speaker 3: Or do you think the sports nerd ranks in there?
Speaker 1: Well, this is very sensitive. It's a very delicate topic,
Speaker 1: as you know, Danny, because we are dependent on the
Speaker 1: sports nerd, and we My belief is we got into
Speaker 1: this at one point because we were sports nerds. So
Speaker 1: as I cycle analyze the sports nerd, I would have
Speaker 1: them actually lower on the list. Like I think that
Speaker 1: to me, And I'm not a big I don't hate Disneyland,
Speaker 1: but I'm old enough to remember when I could go
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars to get to Disneyland. They remember they
Speaker 1: had that SoCal race.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And see I agree with you because
Speaker 4: Rich pointed out that a football or a sports nerd
Speaker 4: will spend two hundred dollars on a jersey, and I say, yeah,
Speaker 4: but I don't think I'm in the game. This Star
Speaker 4: Wars nerd who's spending two hundred dollars on a lightsaber
Speaker 4: really thinks that he's in a Star Wars movie. Now,
Speaker 4: to back up my point, we're there at Star Wars
Speaker 4: Land and the big ride is Rise of the Resistance.
Speaker 3: Amazing ride.
Speaker 4: Okay, I like Star Wars, but I'm not a Star
Speaker 4: Wars nerd by any means. Then now you get the
Speaker 4: fast pass, you know, obviously you got to pay extra
Speaker 4: for that. The problem with that Rise of the Resistance
Speaker 4: ride is they have technical issues a lot. It's broke,
Speaker 4: it's broke, and you scan your phone for the lightning lane.
Speaker 4: But what happens is you get an alert saying that
Speaker 4: the ride is not functioning, so you got to come
Speaker 4: back later. Once the ride reopens, it sends an alert
Speaker 4: you to the app to your phone. So all these
Speaker 4: Star Wars nerds come running like bats out of hell
Speaker 4: and pushing and shoving, and my wife turned wife.
Speaker 3: He turned and.
Speaker 4: Looked at me and said, what a bunch of Star
Speaker 4: Wars nerds. And I say you're not kidding. So we
Speaker 4: get inside the ride and at the beginning there's like
Speaker 4: a like a fake general from the Dark Side who's
Speaker 4: gonna get the info out of us. We all know
Speaker 4: where the base for the Good Guys is, and they
Speaker 4: tell you at the beginning of the ride. No matter what,
Speaker 4: do not give the Dark Side the information about where
Speaker 4: the base is for the Resistance. And this guy in
Speaker 4: front of us, wearing a star accustomed Star Wars jacket,
Speaker 4: turns to his buddy and says, if this was real life,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't tell them even if they tortured me.
Speaker 1: And how old was this person?
Speaker 4: This guy was in his thirties for sure, and he
Speaker 4: wasn't kidding. He was dead serious. We get out of
Speaker 4: the ride and you know, the family to use the restroom.
Speaker 4: So my wife he walks up to somebody dressed up
Speaker 4: as you know, they have Star Wars characters walking around
Speaker 4: who work for the park, And I mean, that's kind
Speaker 4: of got to be a cool job, right if you
Speaker 4: want to be a stormtrooper yeah or yeah, or you know,
Speaker 4: you know, one of the one of the bad guys.
Speaker 3: And there's a couple of good guys walking So.
Speaker 1: That's what you want to. That's what you should do.
Speaker 1: If you're a Star Wars nerd, you should work at Disneyland.
Speaker 1: You can get paid to dress up, as you said,
Speaker 1: a stormtrooper and walk around exactly.
Speaker 3: We even met the Mandalorian.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 4: So my wife walks up to one of these characters
Speaker 4: and she says, which way is the restroom. He's got
Speaker 4: like this fancy lightsaber and he's decked out, and I
Speaker 4: was like, man, this is one of the better characters
Speaker 4: we've seen in here. He looks at my wife, he
Speaker 4: would wide open eyes and he's like, I don't work here.
Speaker 1: Now. The one advantage Danny, that the Star war that
Speaker 1: that guy that Star Wars nerd has as opposed to
Speaker 1: the sports nerd that goes to a game, is the
Speaker 1: sports nerd ends up occasionally having to walk out of
Speaker 1: the stand. It's like they're all dressed up and their
Speaker 1: team loses, right, And it's like if you were a
Speaker 1: Charger fan and you went to that Charger Raider game
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and you were all dauled up
Speaker 1: and you had your gar on, and then you had
Speaker 1: to do the walk of shame out of the state.
Speaker 1: Like if you're a Star wars nerd. You never have
Speaker 1: to walk out at Disneyland like, oh man, we just lost.
Speaker 1: You know, it is embarrassing.
Speaker 4: Somebody says sports nerd, I picture a geek crunching numbers
Speaker 4: and having multiple fantasy teams, not necessarily somebody that goes
Speaker 4: to the stadium, but more like a nerd at his
Speaker 4: home office crunching numbers and stats.
Speaker 1: So you don't think the guy that wears the full
Speaker 1: uniform to go to a game qualifies as a sports nerd.
Speaker 1: I'm going to disagree.
Speaker 3: I'm you on that.
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of nerds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a different kind I'll give you that. It's
Speaker 4: a different kind of nerds.
Speaker 1: We're talking shoulder pads, I'm talking to pants like I'm
Speaker 1: going all in, right, there are people that go all
Speaker 1: in on that.
Speaker 4: Well, there's that confusing TV commercial right now where the
Speaker 4: kid transfers to a different school and he's wearing a
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers shirt and the kids in the class
Speaker 4: are talking shit to him, and then Christian McCaffrey is
Speaker 4: there like his angel, his guardian, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to up your game. And so the
Speaker 4: second day of school for the kid he goes in
Speaker 4: with even more forty nine ers gear on, and the
Speaker 4: kids are still talking crap to him. So then McCaffrey's
Speaker 4: like man, bunch of haters, So then he has to
Speaker 4: up his game even more. And the kid has shoulder
Speaker 4: pads on the uniform, pants, the cleats. Like this kid
Speaker 4: walks into class looking like a real forty nine er player.
Speaker 3: How is that not gonna get him picked on?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, no, no. What was the commercial for? I
Speaker 1: don't even remember.
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: It's a very effective commercial.
Speaker 3: We liked what they were saying, great marketing.
Speaker 1: No idea what the product was. But the commercial is very.
Speaker 3: Good, very memorable, but for the wrong reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the most memorable commercials in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I could remember what the product is.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, there was a Wendy's commercial
Speaker 1: with this old lady saying where's the beef? But I
Speaker 1: remember it was Wendy's like their whole market, like where's
Speaker 1: the beef?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: That was their whole thing? Remember the gate? There was
Speaker 1: another when I was a kid, Gatorade commercial. Remember that
Speaker 1: want to be like Mike's song?
Speaker 3: Oh of course I was going to mention that right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was a big deal because kids
Speaker 4: would like walk around singing that song out loud.
Speaker 1: Oh it was a great tune, especially if your name
Speaker 1: was Mike. You know, it's wonderful.
Speaker 3: And you got the Mars Black.
Speaker 4: Then commercials for Air Jordan, Oh yeah, yes, those were great.
Speaker 4: Bow Noose the Bownose campaign.
Speaker 1: Have a solid bo Jackson nightmare. Yeah, yeah, that was good.
Speaker 1: There were some classics. But we usually know what the
Speaker 1: product is. Usually, you know, we don't know what the
Speaker 1: product is that you're not necessarily the marketing arm is
Speaker 1: not doing something right? What do I know? Moving on,
Speaker 1: we have the term of the week, not the words
Speaker 1: of the week or the word of the week. The
Speaker 1: term of the week.
Speaker 3: Are you ready of the week?
Speaker 1: This is an exclusive to the Fifth Hour podcast. If
Speaker 1: you would like to recommend a term of the week
Speaker 1: to a future episode of the podcast, please send that in.
Speaker 1: The term of the week is rain check rain check.
Speaker 1: Now today is Saturday, Danny, And if you look at
Speaker 1: your weather apps, supposed to be raining today. And where
Speaker 1: we do the show from in La But you know,
Speaker 1: winter for most people, snows lead all that stuff. But
Speaker 1: here in California's just rained. You need tires, by the way, No,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm doing a tire rack commercial. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna's supposed to rain to it. But the term raincheck,
Speaker 1: I think we know what that means, right, So it's
Speaker 1: a promisory note. It was originally written as a form
Speaker 1: of like a written ticket. Well here's a great story.
Speaker 1: I just kind of fell into this. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how I stumbled upon this because I'm I guess
Speaker 1: I'm a nerd. I'm a word nerd. I admit it.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm, you know, nerd Poindexter guy.
Speaker 1: But didn't you know the first rain checks were issued?
Speaker 1: Where do you think they were issued?
Speaker 3: What do you think, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: At a baseball game? And it started in okay, all right,
Speaker 1: it started in baseball. Uh And and this is this
Speaker 1: is wild to me. So the first recorded rain check
Speaker 1: was issued on the twenty first day of June eighteen
Speaker 1: eighty three by the Saint Louis Brown Stockings. Now they
Speaker 1: are the forerunner to what eventually became the Saint Louis Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and they made a policy in Saint Louis to issue
Speaker 1: rainchecks to fans who paid for a game that was
Speaker 1: rained out. The reason that was rather important is because
Speaker 1: I believe it was the association, which was not the
Speaker 1: major leagues. This was something other than the Major League.
Speaker 1: I think it was the Federal League. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: exactly the name of the league, so you know, don't
Speaker 1: hold me to that. But the Saint Louis Brown Stockings,
Speaker 1: according to that Post Dispatch story, they decided they will
Speaker 1: not make in eighteen eighty three. They said, we will
Speaker 1: no longer make patrons pay, not fans. Patrons pay for
Speaker 1: what they don't see, as was the case. That was
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure with all the other teams in that association,
Speaker 1: and everyone buying a ticket to a game in Saint
Speaker 1: Louis on days where rain is apprehend you know, stopping
Speaker 1: the game, they said, apprehended, they will be given a
Speaker 1: raincheck which will allow them to come to a game
Speaker 1: the following day where the weather's good and all that.
Speaker 1: And that was the beginning of rainchecks. It started in
Speaker 1: baseball in eighteen eighty three and is still used today,
Speaker 1: which is why.
Speaker 4: So it was a literal thing, because then it also
Speaker 4: just became a part of our speech where you'd say
Speaker 4: to a girl, can we have sex tonight and she'd
Speaker 4: say raincheck.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, that is you could definitely add that to
Speaker 1: the mix. But I the thing about this that is
Speaker 1: wild to me is that at that time they just
Speaker 1: had a policy where they wouldn't give you an opportunity
Speaker 1: to go to another game. But now the problem we
Speaker 1: have now we don't really deal with this where we
Speaker 1: lived any but I know from friends that live in
Speaker 1: Boston and other places, like, you'll go to a Red
Speaker 1: Sox game and if it's kind of a rainy night,
Speaker 1: they'll sit around for three or four hours through rain
Speaker 1: delays off and on to make sure they get the
Speaker 1: game in so they don't have to issue rain checks
Speaker 1: to people.
Speaker 3: Gay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they hate it. They can't stand I bet you
Speaker 1: the people in sports, if you behind the scenes you
Speaker 1: asked them, they'd be like, Oh, this is terrible. How
Speaker 1: dare that team in Saint Louis? What's wrong with them?
Speaker 1: Why do they have to do this? It's a bad
Speaker 1: job by them, And they go on and on and
Speaker 1: on and all about it, you know, because you know
Speaker 1: how cheap it is. As far as I want to
Speaker 1: go back to the nerd thing though, because the Disney
Speaker 1: nerd and the sports nerd are experiencing the same, the
Speaker 1: same thing. Where Disney used to be affordable, affordable family fund,
Speaker 1: sporting events, affordable family fund. Right, you could even get merch.
Speaker 1: You could get merch for a reasonable price.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you just made me think about something.
Speaker 4: That sports nerd at the Chicago Cubs game that got
Speaker 4: in the way of the ball.
Speaker 1: Oh Bartman, Steve Bartman.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's a sports nerd.
Speaker 1: Yep, that is a sports nerd.
Speaker 3: He is a walkman on.
Speaker 1: And amazingly, all these years later, twenty years later, he
Speaker 1: is still knocked done an on camera interview. He has
Speaker 1: completely stayed hidden, which tells you two things. He is
Speaker 1: an introvert and he must be loaded because he could
Speaker 1: have made a fair amount of money. They would have
Speaker 1: paid to have Steve Bartman on TV time, and he
Speaker 1: turned down that money.
Speaker 4: They even wanted him to be a part of their
Speaker 4: championship parade, remember, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he didn't. He didn't want any part of it.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's crazy. He could have got a ring and
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 1: Yeah crazy, Yeah, Yeah, you wonder if he's been back.
Speaker 3: To like in a disguise well, he probably.
Speaker 1: Looks a lot different he was he what was his
Speaker 1: mid twenties, It looked like around that time, so he's
Speaker 1: probably his mid forties now.
Speaker 3: Probably still looks like a sports nerd though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were people dressing up for Halloween as Steve Bartman.
Speaker 1: You remember that. Yeah, it was Nuhing. I was on
Speaker 1: the air that night at Fox Sports Radio and we
Speaker 1: were counting down. It was a huge deal, Cubs and Marlins.
Speaker 1: Cubs are nine outs away from going to the World Series.
Speaker 3: You know, it was like the.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it a Dusty Baker. I was gonna
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be it was. I think it wasn't
Speaker 1: Dusty Baker as the manager. I think he was managing.
Speaker 1: Where was it, Uh who was managing the Cubs? I
Speaker 1: think it was Dusty. But I just that night, the
Speaker 1: excitement and then watching it all implode and that didn't
Speaker 1: end the series, like may any of the greatest moments
Speaker 1: in baseball. That was not the That was the turning point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was another game after that. It's like the the
Speaker 1: Buckner play in the world. The Kirk Gibson home run
Speaker 1: was in Game one.
Speaker 3: It's just the way everybody remembers it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that. Remember the Rangers Cardinals when Nelson Cruz
Speaker 1: misplayed the ball in the outfield. That was also Game six,
Speaker 1: I think, I don't think it was Game seven where
Speaker 1: the Rangers blew it and the Cardinals ended up coming
Speaker 1: back and winning.
Speaker 3: How about the Angels pitcher who killed himself.
Speaker 1: I hate to say which one, but.
Speaker 3: Donnie Moore, Yeah, Donnie Moore? Was that was that a no?
Speaker 1: That was That's a good call. That was in Anaheim
Speaker 1: and they had to go back to Boston, if I remember,
Speaker 1: to play at Finway. And they showed up and they
Speaker 1: wasted a lot of fossil fuels, the Angels, and they
Speaker 1: got into the field position and started sucking their thumb
Speaker 1: and and that was it. They had Gene Autry, the
Speaker 1: Singing Cowboy. That was his shot right there to win
Speaker 1: the World Series, and it all went to hell. It
Speaker 1: all went to which is different than basketball, Like a
Speaker 1: lot of the basketball plays were in the final game,
Speaker 1: but in baseball not quite the same thing as an odd.
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, Like think about the New York Knicks starts
Speaker 4: missing all those shots.
Speaker 3: In Game seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, actually a Game seven, the Willis Reid game,
Speaker 1: even though he didn't really play that well. But that
Speaker 1: was a game seven against the Lakers, Knicks and Lakers,
Speaker 1: and that was actually the Walt Clyde Fraser game. But
Speaker 1: he doesn't get credit for it because they able to said, well,
Speaker 1: that's the Willis Reid give legend became the fact he
Speaker 1: go with the legends of the Willis Reid game.
Speaker 3: He played.
Speaker 1: He played. I think he scored like one basket or
Speaker 1: two baskets. That's it, played the first quarter of the game.
Speaker 1: But they're like the New York writers had a field
Speaker 1: day with how.
Speaker 4: He was basically just their rally banana.
Speaker 1: It was. It was. It was craziness. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get out on that. Anything going on today, Danny, I
Speaker 1: was some college football, not great games and not there's
Speaker 1: an NFL game today. We got the Lions and the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: a standalone NFL game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cowboys at home, which means they'll probably win because
Speaker 4: they win at home and they suck on the road.
Speaker 1: They're favored by six. Of course, I will shamelessly promote
