This is great. 84 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: So I was curious, like, what was the first radio 85 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: station that they put on a delight? The DeLay's been 86 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: around for seventy two years in radio, and it was 87 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: WKAP in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which at one point was a 88 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: Fox Sports radio affiliate. I think it's flipped to like 89 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: a news talk format. But in nineteen fifty two, we've 90 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: discussed this. 91 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I just want to make it. I don't talked about 92 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: in a while. 93 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 3: But in nineteen fifty two they started a talk show 94 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 3: called Open Mic, and it was the first time a 95 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 3: telephone call in show had been broadcast on radio. They 96 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: never broadcast a telephone conversation before live on the air. 97 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: But the government, big brother, they had all these rules. 98 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: A federal committer Cacier Commission. 99 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: They prohibited the broadcasting of a live telephone conversation, couldn't 100 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 3: do it, but allowed, and so there was there was 101 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: no rule though prohibiting taped playback. So they they figured 102 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: out they had a beep tone that was heard by 103 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: the every like fifteen seconds b you know, like that 104 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: kind of thing. So the caller was where they were 105 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: being recorded. But that's that was the original Delay and Rado. 106 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: But at the point is it's been around for seventy years, 107 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: the Delay system talk radio, and people still are like, hey, 108 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 3: you know, you know it's like and they still crack. 109 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: This week we had a lot of potty mouth on 110 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: the Overnight Danny. We had guys saying shit and fuck 111 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 3: and all kinds of stuff. 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I had a guy the other day talking 113 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 4: about mustache ride. 114 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Oh boy? 115 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: Like I think at the point now, and I said 116 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: this this week on the Overnight Show Danny, I said, 117 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: you know, what are we doing here? 118 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: The S word? 119 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: We should be allowed. I think that one we should 120 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: be allowed. 121 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: I get like in the we're on on the Bible 122 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: belt and people will get upset by certain things. 123 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: But the S word, to me, that's com Yeah. 124 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: And I guess if it's not blatantly obvious to a 125 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: kid in a car like I guess I wouldn't want 126 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: my little son saying daddy what's a mustache ride?

But I came 178 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: back in this week because the holidays are over, picked 179 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: up some mail hadn't gone. I haven't even gone through 180 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: all of it yet. So if you did send something, man, 181 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 3: do I thank you? 182 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: Man? Is that cool? Thank you so much. But I've 183 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: been so busy with everything, I haven't had time to 184 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: go through everything. 185 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: And so one of the items I did open is 186 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 3: this big box from the Bay Big Box. 187 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: So inside I found this note. Just dropped it. 188 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: That's trying to be rush limball, all right, So the 189 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: crinkled paper effect. 190 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not annoying, is it. 191 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: So anyway, I got this note in the box what's 192 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: in the box? 193 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: And inside I found this note what's. 194 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: In the box? 195 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: What's in the box? 196 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: It's Ernesto in the Bay Area, Big fan of the show, 197 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 3: Super Fans Show and Ernesto in the Bay Area says, 198 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 3: if the forty nine Ers beat the Rams in the 199 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: last game of the season, you have to wear this 200 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: forty nine er hat and for a day of work, 201 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 3: and it has to be on the YouTube videos for 202 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: the show that you have to put the hat on 203 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: for the YouTube videos. Evidence is required. So then we 204 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: I realized we had made this bet on the air. 205 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: But I thought we were kind of kidding around. I 206 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 3: didn't think he would actually follow through it. 207 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 4: But he sent you a forty winer hat. 208 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, not just a I mean this is a 209 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: solid like, this is like a really nice like it's 210 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 3: a fitted hat with its my size. 211 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: It's white, racist with that ugly forty. 212 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 3: Nine or logo on it. And so we did make 213 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: this bet on the air. It's all kosher. We made 214 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: the bet on the air, and I am a man 215 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: of my word. Did Now, this is a dog food game. 216 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: The Rams are playing Carson wentz Kyron Williams, Cooper Cup, 217 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: Aaron Donald are not playing on Sunday. The forty nine 218 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: Ers are going with Sam Darnold Brock perties not gonna play, 219 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: and from what I'm told, most of their starters are 220 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: going to just play a little bit and then they're 221 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: gonna play backups like McCaffrey's not gonna play at all. 222 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, this is an extra reason to root against 223 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: the Niners because if the Niners lose, the wild card 224 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 4: picture could look a little bit more exciting for US viewers. 225 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 3: No, obviously, with the Rams and win, I don't want 226 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: to have to wear this hat. I mean it's a 227 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 3: nice hat. I I mean it's it would be great. 228 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 3: I do want to thank her and Essa. If I 229 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: did not load the Niners for haunting my childhood as 230 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 3: a fan, this would be a great item. But the 231 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 3: Niners to me and football are Poultergeist because growing up 232 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: as a kid, the Rams had really good teams. They 233 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: had solid teams in the late eighties and the nineties, 234 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: early nineties, I would say too far into the early nineties, 235 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 3: but they had pretty good teams in the late eighties 236 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: early nighties. Like it stopped around ninety one or ninety two, 237 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: I think, and then they became just terrible. But that 238 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 3: happened to correspond parallel to the forty nine Ers having 239 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: Bill Walsh, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Roger Craig, 240 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 3: host of great defensive players like Ronnie Lott and all 241 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: these guys and soup. 242 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 4: And then Dickerson of course goes to the Colts. 243 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. It was a depressing time. It 244 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: was a depressing time. 245 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 3: The Rams had Jerome Bettis and traded him to the 246 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: Steelers and then he became a Hall of Fame player. 247 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 3: And they also had Kevin Green who also ended up 248 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and became a Hall of Fame level player. 249 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: But thank you or Nest though, very nice for the 250 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: box from the base. So when you're watching the scores 251 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: on Sunday, remember that if the Rams win, I'm good. 252 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: But if the Rams lose, I got to wear this 253 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: ugly forty nine er head. So that's the bet. Now 254 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: we're gonna call this one a malor follow up. A 255 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: malor follow up on the podcast more information from Eddie 256 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: the Grinch of Christmas Past. 257 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: So I began to tell this story a little bit 258 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: on the air. 259 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: I think we might have mentioned it here last week, 260 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: but we don't think we got too far into it. 261 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: So I was asked by a listener who heard the 262 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: end of me telling the story on the Overnight show 263 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: this week the other night to tell the story again. 264 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: So I will tell you the truncated version. I will 265 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 3: attempt to use brevity. If I've told this story before 266 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: in the podcast, I apologize. But over the weekend, don't 267 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: even know it was. 268 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: Over the holidays, Eddie. 269 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: I came back and Eddie was very braggadocious. He was 270 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 3: telling me about he was all excited. He said, oh, yep, 271 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: got my Christmas bonus. And so he's explaining to me. 272 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I got this really cool 273 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: gift card and the company sent it, and you know, 274 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: I had a nice little note in there. And so 275 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: then the he starts badgering, right, he starts badgering me 276 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: to check my company email. I never checked my company. 277 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 5: I don't. 278 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 3: I don't believe in that. You know, that's the first 279 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: thing they shut down when they get rid of I 280 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: know that they got rid of me in nine, you know, 281 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, and I still haven't forgotten. So I genuflected, 282 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: and uh, because Eddie wanted me to. He kept saying, well, 283 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: you got to get the gift card. Come on, buy 284 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: something nice. So I was okay, you know what, if 285 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 3: the company's nice enough to send me a holiday gift, 286 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: you know what I'm going to log into my email. 287 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: So I had to reset the pass word. I had 288 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 3: to get a code text to my phone. There's a 289 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: hole to do. And so I'm very excited. 290 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: I was like, this is great. You know, I didn't 291 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: expect anything from the company. 292 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: You know, I do the show and they I thought 293 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: they stopped giving holiday gifts a while ago. But Eddie said, 294 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: you know, no, this is great. So I finally opened 295 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 3: up my email and and I'm typing in. Eddie told 296 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: me what to type in, like the name of the 297 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: gift card and what words to type in. 298 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: So I typed that in. 299 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 3: Uh, And much to my amazement, Danny, this company my 300 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: company bonus was it was there. It was a lump 301 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: of coal, okay, Eddie. Eddie had bad info. It seems 302 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 3: like the company did not give everyone a holiday bonus. 303 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,119 Speaker 1: In my mail, I found bumpkiss. 304 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: I typed in seven different search terms to find said, uh, 305 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 3: you know gift card.

I don't know how many 310 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 3: other ways I can say it. I think I've used 311 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: all my ways of saying nothing, right, which I think 312 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: nothing is the absence of something. So I guess I 313 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: got something, but it's the absence of something. 314 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 4: This has got to be a mistake because whenever I 315 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: email our boss and in the subject line I write 316 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 4: malor podcast, he gets back to me in at least 317 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 4: twenty four days. 318 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: So I asked the question, and you can answer this 319 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: because you're tight with your boys, Covino and Rich.

You 463 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: are a stalwart of Fox Sports Radio. You are a 464 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 3: star wart like John Stalwart. Uh No, Stalwart stall the 465 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 3: great stalwart. Uh So, this is a word I used 466 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 3: the other day on the show, and I was like, 467 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 3: that's kind of an odd word, Like, what what is 468 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 3: the origin of stalwart? 469 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: Like I've said it. 470 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: You know, stalwart means a loyal, reliable, hard working supporter, 471 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 3: a participant in an organization or a team. You're a stalwart. 472 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: We're Stalwart's Fox Sports Radio been here a long time. 473 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: So the word goes back. 474 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 3: Stalwart goes back to the fourteenth century and it is 475 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 3: a Scottish variant of Middle English stalworth. That was the 476 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 3: original use in meant physically strong, powerful, also brave, courageous, valiant, 477 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: stall doing. 478 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 479 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what it meant. But over time, obviously 480 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 3: the definitions have changed. The way it's been used is changed. 481 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 3: But in America, I think that's where we are hanging 482 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 3: out here. Stalwart became common in the United States polytical 483 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 3: world in the late eighteen hundreds eighteen seventy seven through 484 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: the next fifteen years or so, and the word stalwart 485 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: was used in reference to factions, mostly for the Republican Party. 486 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: It was considered if you were a stalwart, you were 487 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 3: a partisan, you were uncompromisingly partisan, like you were just 488 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 3: a blind and whatever the party wanted that you just 489 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 3: did it. So that is a brief look at the 490 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: word of the week. 491 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: A stalwart. 492 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 3: So I've said athletes are stalwarts, like I would go 493 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: down the list. I'd be like, well, Bill Belichick not 494 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 3: an athlete, a coach, but Bill Belichick is a stalwart 495 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: of the Patriots, that whole thing. So anyway, that is 496 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 3: the word of the week. We'll save some foody fun 497 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 3: as we predicted, Danny, we didn't have time for foody 498 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: fund but we'll get the foodie fun on the Saturday 499 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: Pod with whatever else comes up. 500 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: Have a wonderful rest. 501 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: Oh. 502 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 3: I don't think I promoted the TV show yet, have I? 503 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 4: I think you did already? 504 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: Did I?
