Speaker 4: You gotta take cole whale watching though, although I call

Speaker 4: only seen whales like twice.
Speaker 1: Once.
Speaker 4: You know where there's good whale watching is in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 4: There's some pretty good whale watching in Santa Barbara, at
Speaker 4: least that's where I saw my whales.

Speaker 5: so CoA would be saying, well, a lot if he
Speaker 5: visited Idaho.
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, well, well, well well well well.
Speaker 4: Before no, no, not at all. All right, let's get
Speaker 4: before we get to the mail bag. I did have
Speaker 4: a phrase of.
Speaker 5: The week mail bag edition of phrase of the week.
Speaker 4: All right, phrase of the week. Now, this is in
Speaker 4: honor of Saint Patti's day.
Speaker 1: It is related. Let me explain.
Speaker 4: Gift of gab. Gift of gab is the phrase of
Speaker 4: the week. Some will say that you, Danny, have the
Speaker 4: gift of gab. People have said I have the gift
Speaker 4: gift of gab. I do not believe I do, because
Speaker 4: I'm pretty quiet when I'm not working.
Speaker 1: But there are people that never turn off the on
Speaker 1: air light. They are always on. Much like that high school.
Speaker 4: It sounds like that high school official Danny that you
Speaker 4: were dealing with, and you told the story yesterday. It
Speaker 4: was someone that had the gift of gab and just kept.
Speaker 1: Going and going and going anyway.
Speaker 4: The whole phrase gift of gab originated around sixteen eighty,
Speaker 4: so mid to late sixteen hundreds. By the late seventeen hundreds,
Speaker 4: so about one hundred years after that, gab was used
Speaker 4: in English to refer to chatter, much like it is,
Speaker 4: you know, gabby or gabin or whatever I think gabby,
Speaker 4: but chatter, and the adjective gabby came about to describe
Speaker 4: someone who is just talking, you know, just a kid,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah. Remember, of course, over time this
Speaker 4: has become a regularly regularly used word gabby in the
Speaker 4: American and English lexicon the Western world. But the term
Speaker 4: gift of gab is not something that you were born with.
Speaker 4: According to the legend, you can acquire at any point
Speaker 4: in your life.
Speaker 1: Now how do you acquire it?
Speaker 4: All you have to do is kiss the Blarney Stone,
Speaker 4: the famous Irish Blarney Stone in honor of Saint Patti's Day,
Speaker 4: the giant block of limestone in Ireland, and that is
Speaker 4: the legend is that if you go there. Blarney is
Speaker 4: a small town in Ireland, although it's known worldwide, it
Speaker 4: dates back. The significance dates back to the thirteen hundreds
Speaker 4: and the historical Kingdom of Desmond assisted the Scots against
Speaker 4: the England England and the.
Speaker 1: Battle of badock Burn. If I'm saying that right anyway,
Speaker 1: don't You don't get in the whole history.
Speaker 4: But that's the legend. It started originally all the way
Speaker 4: back in the thirteen notes. But the modern time term
Speaker 4: gab as in just talk talk talk, talk talk, and
Speaker 4: gift of gab is a reference to the Irish Blarney Stones.
Speaker 4: If you say somebody's got the gift of gab, they
Speaker 4: kissed the Blarnie stone.
Speaker 1: It's all related together. Enough of that, let's get to
Speaker 1: the letters. Letters, letters, letters, MAYL mail, mayo, mayl mail.
Speaker 5: Let's go. It's mail.
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, ohio Al appreciate that first one up

Speaker 4: And appropriate, not all the time, not all the time.
Speaker 4: Alf from the first shift right, So he says two
Speaker 4: quick questions, Ben and Danny. Do you drive to the

Speaker 4: fun is it to have do you have yucking it
Speaker 4: up with Fred?
Speaker 1: I really enjoy your banter.
Speaker 4: It seems like you are very comfortable together, like a
Speaker 4: couple of guys having a beer at the bar.
Speaker 1: That's from Alf. So the magic of a radio.
Speaker 4: I never never say if I drive in or not,
Speaker 4: but we're brought together on the radio.
Speaker 1: Whether I'm there, whether.
Speaker 4: Fred's there or Fred's in Palm Springs and I'm somewhere else,
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. But we do the show and I
Speaker 4: enjoy working with Fred. I grew up watching Fred on TV.
Speaker 4: We had a few battles when I first got into
Speaker 4: the media business. Me and Fred had some battles, but
Speaker 4: we've made things made up and we're friends now. And
Speaker 4: Fred's Fred's a legend man. He's pop up on the
Speaker 4: Tonight Show. Back when I was a kid, and that
Speaker 4: was like a big deal to be on with Johnny
Speaker 4: Carson and all that and Jay Leno and so Fred's
Speaker 4: the dean of LA Sports And I'm glad you enjoy
Speaker 4: when we do the show off. I'm honored that you listen.
Speaker 4: Barry in South Carolina rights and he says yo yo
Speaker 4: Ma Benny and Danny g He says, I find helmet
Speaker 4: Man's calls fascinating. How much longer do you think the
Speaker 4: OJ trial will last for helmet Man? And when the
Speaker 4: trial is over, what will he watch then the Menendez
Speaker 4: trial or does he rewatch the OJ trial again? That's
Speaker 4: from Barry, So helmet Man. Danny has been giving us
Speaker 4: live updates for the last month on the OJ Simpson
Speaker 4: murder trial. Nobody else has that content. We're the only one,
Speaker 4: We're the only ones. This is on par with the
Speaker 4: Titanic sinking. When you had that breaking news. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 4: that was one of the That was one of the
Speaker 4: great nights. Mars Marcel in Uh, Marcel and Brooklyn breaking
Speaker 4: the breaking the news. Nobody else broke that news. Were
Speaker 4: the first ones that reported the Titanic was false.
Speaker 5: Last time that news was broken, it was done. Morse code.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was no radio when the Titanic hit the icebery,
Speaker 4: so literally the only time in the history of radio
Speaker 4: that he's that story was broken was courtesy of Marcel
Speaker 4: in Brooklyn. Oh my god, Oh my gosh, the stuff
Speaker 4: that's happened on the Overnight show. Danny, you were here
Speaker 4: for the once you You were there for that, weren't you?
Speaker 4: Was that when you were there? Were you gone by then?
Speaker 5: I was driving in for the Klae Travis show when
Speaker 5: you and Roberto and Eddie broke that news with Marcel.
Speaker 4: That was that was great. I can't believe that didn't
Speaker 4: get picked up by the by the media. That should
Speaker 4: have been a big story.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's by Bart.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think what other famous trials happened around
Speaker 4: the Menendez trial. Is a good one that's about thirty
Speaker 4: years old. What else famous trials? Mick Martin preschool remember
Speaker 4: that one? The preschool one? And I don't know that
Speaker 4: was his big game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he might have a jfk assassination to cover good one.
Speaker 1: Oh you could do the I'm trying to think.
Speaker 4: There was something that popped in my head and just
Speaker 4: popped out of my head, and I wanted to pop
Speaker 4: back in my head, so I can mention it. Famous trial.
Speaker 4: How about the Mike Tyson rape trial? Remember that one
Speaker 4: that there was a that that took place. Was that
Speaker 4: in the two thousands or the late nineties? I don't remember,
Speaker 4: want to say that was the nineties nineties. Okay, so
Speaker 4: there's that one. Famous trials for a thousand.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to try.
Speaker 5: You could do you about the Michael Jackson trial in
Speaker 5: Santa Maria, California.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had charge was it Charger Dodger Eric?
Speaker 1: That guy didn't call anymore. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: still around.
Speaker 4: Charger Dodger Eric called us from from Michael Jackson's ranch.
Speaker 4: There was a big rally in support of Michael Jackson
Speaker 4: while all that was going down, and he got on
Speaker 4: a bus. There was like buses picking up dudes in
Speaker 4: LA and driving him out to Michael Jackson's.
Speaker 1: Was it never Land Ranch? Right? Used to hang out
Speaker 1: there when you were younger, right, Danny, never Land Ranch.
Speaker 5: No, I went there at a much later age when
Speaker 5: I was programming a radio station there in the Pismo
Speaker 5: Beach area.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I thought maybe when you were younger, you
Speaker 4: and Michael hung out, you know, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: But no, no, it never never took place.
Speaker 5: Nope, you got me confused with Corey Feldman.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, hello for.
Speaker 5: One of the Corey's. I forget which Corey.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They speaking of trials. I saw the other day. People
Speaker 4: were like stunned at the Diddy. The didd he look right,
Speaker 4: he showed up, he pled, not guilty. There were some
Speaker 4: new allegations made against him, and people are like, whoa,
Speaker 4: his appearance is much different there, he changed his appearance.
Speaker 1: He's got white hair and a white beech weird. Are
Speaker 1: you not allowed to dye your hair in jail? Is
Speaker 1: that why he has that? Or are you allowed to?
Speaker 1: I don't know the rules on that, but.
Speaker 5: That's a great question. Or or do you look to shoveled?
Speaker 5: Is that like his defense lawyer's tactic. One of the
Speaker 5: tactics like, dude, look like a shell of yourself so
Speaker 5: people can feel pity on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I that is something that they'll do in court.
Speaker 4: But he's stopped obviously he was coloring his hair. He
Speaker 4: stopped coloring his How old is Diddy now? He's in
Speaker 4: his fifties or is he older than that?
Speaker 5: I want to say he's pushing mid late fifties. Gotta
Speaker 5: be yeah, fifty seven. I would guess, okay, something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: But he obviously was dyeing his hair and he stopped
Speaker 4: and his natural hair color came through him. But if
Speaker 4: you're not allowed to die your hair, now, the real
Speaker 4: test is when you go to trial, right, because you
Speaker 4: I thought you want to look professional and dressed up.
Speaker 1: Up in your suit and all that if you're allowed
Speaker 1: to So, yeah, there's different strategies. I'm not a lawyer, Danny,
Speaker 1: but I can play one on the radio or the podcast.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: Oh, and he's going to be fifty six in November.
Speaker 4: All right, Well that's about the time no stuff starts
Speaker 4: going away, I guess. Kevin in Kansas Rights and you're
Speaker 4: listening to the mail bag here on the fifth hour,
Speaker 4: potches our guy, Kevin says, dear band, and Danny g
Speaker 4: In the past two weeks, on the same stretch of
Speaker 4: highway in southwest Kansas, I've driven through a near blizzard
Speaker 4: and a driving dust storm, Kevin says, having survived both,
Speaker 4: I'm wondering, what's the worst weather you've ever driven through? Yeah,
Speaker 4: you want to go first, Danny, worst weather driving experience.
Speaker 5: It's Nevada. We drove my cousin and I we were
Speaker 5: on a hiking trip. We drove through an electrical storm,
Speaker 5: lightning everywhere. It was crazy. I mean you could see
Speaker 5: the lightning bolts striking the ground all alongside the freeway
Speaker 5: and you just.
Speaker 4: Kept motoring on, kept going. You don't want to pull
Speaker 4: over in that, right, you want to keep it.
Speaker 5: Oh, you got it. You have to keep building.
Speaker 4: And this was a southern Nevada or northern Nevada zion area.
Speaker 1: Oh, going towards going towards Utah, like so.
Speaker 4: The yeah, exactly, Okay, yeah, well the worst, Uh, that
Speaker 4: sounds terrible, the worst thing I've ever driven through, other
Speaker 4: than like some random snowstorm, which wasn't all that bad.
Speaker 4: I was actually driving back from Vegas one time. The
Speaker 4: hills on the way to California were covered in snow
Speaker 4: and it was not supposed to snow, and we were like,
Speaker 4: we were not.
Speaker 1: Prepared for it.
Speaker 4: But in Buffalo, here we go, Buffalo, here we go.
Speaker 4: So years ago, attended a Buffalo Bills game against the
Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans. It was early in the season. The only
Speaker 4: time I've ever been to a Buffalo Bills game, and
Speaker 4: after the game, we were this is the famous story
Speaker 4: where we were going to try to get a hotel
Speaker 4: room at the last minute, and every hotel in Greater
Speaker 4: Buffalo was booked up, so I had to sleep in
Speaker 4: my car in right across from the Buffalo Niagara Airport
Speaker 4: in the parking lot so we could use the free
Speaker 4: Wi Fi for the hotel. We just slept in the
Speaker 4: car because they had no vacancies and there was nowhere
Speaker 4: to stay. But on that same trip leaving Buffalo heading
Speaker 4: back down on the New York Expressway down to Manhattan,
Speaker 4: the lake unexpected lake effect. It was not It wasn't
Speaker 4: a blizzard or anything like that because it was still
Speaker 4: early in the football season. But it was the most
Speaker 4: ridiculous rain. It was biblical, is the way I would
Speaker 4: describe it. It was biblical the rain. It was so bad.
Speaker 4: How bad was it. It was so bad that we
Speaker 4: literally stopped on the middle of the road because we
Speaker 4: couldn't see in front of us, and we couldn't see
Speaker 4: behind us, and we were worried we were going to hit.
Speaker 1: A car in front of us.
Speaker 4: And it was so bad that I literally stopped in
Speaker 4: the middle of the road and because I saw I
Speaker 4: thought I saw the car in front stop and I
Speaker 4: thought I was gonna die that night.
Speaker 1: It was that bad.
Speaker 4: I thought, well, we're probably just gonna get hit by
Speaker 4: a truck and that'll be lights out.
Speaker 1: That's game over, and you know, go back to zero.
Speaker 4: And fortunately it was a it was about a five
Speaker 4: to ten minute storm that passed over and then it
Speaker 4: cleared up and that was It was very bizarre.
Speaker 1: But that's the worst.
Speaker 4: Worst weather, Kevin Man, that's no joke. I can only imagine.
Speaker 4: That's what it's like. But with snow when they have
Speaker 4: the and we're seeing it at the Bills games, right
Speaker 4: when they have one or two games a year that
Speaker 4: are played in white out conditions, and it's the same
Speaker 4: frickin thing. It's just and that's what happens.
Speaker 1: So you mentioned Livy, has it got to be wide
Speaker 1: out racist? Now it's we're good now, Danny, Remember we're good.
Speaker 1: Things have changed. It's twenty twenty five. We're all right now.
Speaker 5: And by the way, awesome question there. Thank you for
Speaker 5: letting us relive those traumatic experiences. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Kevin lives in Kansas, so he judging by
Speaker 4: the week he has those every every every other week.
Speaker 4: Uh Cincinnati, Tommy writes, since says, greetings from the Queen City.
Speaker 4: Thanks for giving my game show idea a shot. He says,
Speaker 4: no doubt it will endure as another Malard classic. I
Speaker 4: do believe you have groove two fastballs down the middle
Speaker 4: for Loraino so far, Marcel and blind Scott being one
Speaker 4: for two. I shudder at the thought of a formidable
Speaker 4: Malar Militia opponent squaring off against Lorraine. Uh It says,
Speaker 4: thanks for rolling and from work with me every day.
Speaker 4: He's a podcaster, Danny Cincinnati Tommy working the dreaded day
Speaker 4: shift and he's loves the pod So thank you, tom.
Speaker 1: It was a good idea.
Speaker 4: We appreciate it, and Lorena loves it because it's all
Speaker 4: about Lorena, so she's she's obviously a big fan. And
Speaker 4: it seems like it's doing pretty well. We're still trying
Speaker 4: to work out some of the kings. It's still in
Speaker 4: the beta phase where we're still trying to master it
Speaker 4: and we'll get there.
Speaker 5: You know. It's scary, and I feel like you should
Speaker 5: bring her some sort of gift to the studios next week,
Speaker 5: because she never gets any kind of you know, acknowledgement
Speaker 5: or anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's now at the point where when I run
Speaker 4: into people at work and I don't see a lot
Speaker 4: of people, I'll get there early. Sometimes I'll see some
Speaker 4: of the people during the Jason Smith show that are
Speaker 4: wandering around the building and it's always, hey, you know,
Speaker 4: there's a couple of packages for Lorraina over there. It's
Speaker 4: like every every person I see, they don't even say
Speaker 4: hello to me. You know, there's some packages over there
Speaker 4: that's got Lorainer's name on it. What is in the
Speaker 4: you know, it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a it's a running joke now at the
Speaker 5: studios when we sit down for the Coveno and Rich
Speaker 5: pre show meeting, we don't even have to look at
Speaker 5: who the boxes are addressed to. In the male area
Speaker 5: by the white desk there, it's just, oh, look, Lorena
Speaker 5: has two boxes today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 4: I told her, I said, you're getting more male than
Speaker 4: Colin Cowherd. You're getting more male and like George Nori
Speaker 4: all these big time radio people, Lorena is beloved by
Speaker 4: the Malad militia.
Speaker 1: I don't know why this is. Can you explain why
Speaker 1: that is? Danny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because we have some thirsty men listening to the
Speaker 5: network and if there's a female voice, if there's a
Speaker 5: female with a pulse, they go nuts.
Speaker 1: That is generally true.
Speaker 4: I will point out though for the record, now I
Speaker 4: have and with a boot job.
Speaker 1: Well that doesn't hurt, and very open about that.
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you kind of hide that ladies, but
Speaker 4: she's very open by it. But the thing too, I've
Speaker 4: worked with several women over the years, and you know,
Speaker 4: had had good shows with Karen Kay and we had
Speaker 4: Moranda Marino as my producer for a while, done shows
Speaker 4: with the several deb Carson worked at our place, and
Speaker 4: several other fine ladies, but no one has embraced been
Speaker 4: embraced quite like Lorena.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: I remember when I worked with Karen and in the
Speaker 4: early days, and I love KK, but she got a
Speaker 4: lot of like prison mail. They were like dudes in
Speaker 4: prison that we're all excited and we're sending her.
Speaker 1: Messages and stuff.
Speaker 4: But Loraina, these guys aren't in prison, and they're just
Speaker 4: like regular super fans of the show, and they love Lorena.
Speaker 4: As you said, Danny, a little thirsty and to eat
Speaker 4: their own and they just want to spoil Lorena with desserts.
Speaker 4: And that's the funny thing. She gets most of its food.
Speaker 4: There are some clothes and stuff, but a lot of
Speaker 4: its food. And Loraina eats like a bird where she'll
Speaker 4: eat a lot, like take a couple of bites of everything.
Speaker 1: But she just takes a couple of bites and that's it.
Speaker 5: As Eddie used to say, just the taste.
Speaker 1: Stop. Yeah, yeah, just a little taste. That's it.
Speaker 5: Thank you for that, appreciate it. Let's see here the
Speaker 5: person sending Laingerye gift cards. Maybe in prison soon.
Speaker 1: She has gotten some of those.

Speaker 4: I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. With Chiefs
Speaker 4: Kingdom also collapsing and bo Nick's about to enter a
Speaker 4: sophomore slump, it looks like the AFC West is ripe
Speaker 4: for my chargers to take the division.
Speaker 5: Oh you mean the Clippers of the NFL.
Speaker 4: You don't have to, You don't have to take a
Speaker 4: shot at the Clippers because it is okay. He says,
Speaker 4: what do you guys make of chat GPT's prediction of
Speaker 4: the next seventy five NBA champions It doesn't think the
Speaker 4: Lakers will win another title until twenty forty five, or
Speaker 4: that the Clippers will win any uh So that's got
Speaker 4: to be an accurate right either way, it's got some
Speaker 4: interesting predictions in there. Yeah, he sent a photo here,
Speaker 4: you know, come on, it's like that story the other
Speaker 4: day the seventy six ers. Darryl Morey's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: we have AI artificial intelligence. They get a vote on

Speaker 1: We pick up. Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4: Like, it's it's fun to fight's around with. We're not
Speaker 4: we're not quite there. And what happens if they actually
Speaker 4: get artificial intelligence that can predict who's going to win
Speaker 4: the championship, that'll that'll be the end.
Speaker 5: Of Spas Vegas going to deal with.
Speaker 4: That exactly right, That's that's back to the future type stuff.
Speaker 5: You're you're in the in the Laker thing. You you
Speaker 5: being a big Luca fan, you know that that's inaccurate.
Speaker 5: It hukah Luca who And it's big on the hookah,
Speaker 5: and he's big on the Luca.
Speaker 4: What a great nickname, hookah Luca. Such great nickname, man alive,
Speaker 4: zach in.
Speaker 5: Rich David said, if somebody in LA was a smart entrepreneur,
Speaker 5: they would start opening up some hookah spots called Luca's Hookah.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hookah Luca be wonderful.
Speaker 5: Yeah, put a picture of Luca on the front of
Speaker 5: the building smoking some hookahch.
Speaker 4: He ought to open some up, is what he should do,
Speaker 4: Zach in Columbus writes in he says, big men, spring
Speaker 4: is here, Ohio is calling. We still hope to see
Speaker 4: you at the r Bar when you.
Speaker 1: Can make the trip. Yeah, I got to get there.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at some dates, Zach, and I'll let you
Speaker 4: know sometime.
Speaker 1: Maybe in June, maybe June. Do the Ohio thing.
Speaker 4: I got hopefully Canada in late May, early June. A
Speaker 4: lot of traveling. June, July, August, that's usually the time.
Speaker 4: Got to get all those trips in before football comes
Speaker 4: back around in September. Right, that's the key, Danny, that's
Speaker 4: the master plan. Yes, Zach writes, and he says there's
Speaker 4: always shenanigans, but this night he has tails from the bar.
Speaker 4: This guy's a big time mogul. He runs one of
Speaker 4: the coolest bars there in Columbus, and he's invited us
Speaker 4: to come to his place. So he says, back in
Speaker 4: the day, it was laid on a Sunday night, and
Speaker 4: some fellow industry workers from a bar next door came
Speaker 4: in after they closed. We stay open till two thirty,
Speaker 4: so we always have service industry workers.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: And he says he was logging up and someone from
Speaker 4: another brewery group went missing.
Speaker 1: It was a lady. Her name. Her name is not important.
Speaker 4: But Zach said he peeked into the bathroom and he
Speaker 4: saw one stall closed with two little arms sticking out.
Speaker 1: He tried the door, but it was locked.
Speaker 4: He said he didn't want to drag her out to
Speaker 4: prevent injury, so he went to the adjacent stall to
Speaker 4: hop over and unlocked. He climbed over and this poor
Speaker 4: woman was but ass naked, face down.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 4: It got even worse. Apparently she was in the middle
Speaker 4: of going number two and she did not finish the
Speaker 4: activity there, Zach says, so he went to unlock the door,
Speaker 4: and he said, thank god, one of her co workers.
Speaker 4: Was there this guy Timm. He says, okay, he was
Speaker 4: a gay guy, and he says, the guy's a hero.
Speaker 4: Zach says, fished her close out of the garbage. Apparently
Speaker 4: she had thrown her clothes in the garbage and they
Speaker 4: had to put her clothes back on, which apparently was
Speaker 4: a struggle.
Speaker 1: She was a larger woman, the clothes were too.
Speaker 4: Small, and Zach said that this is the story he
Speaker 4: wanted to share with the class Danny.
Speaker 1: So they got an uber for her to go home.
Speaker 4: And apparently it was a very messy experience to try
Speaker 4: to as you might imagine, just a night at the bar, Danny,
Speaker 4: just a night managing the bar.
Speaker 1: You never know, you never know what you're gonna get
Speaker 1: at the bar. You have no idea. A couple more
Speaker 1: quick ones, Reggie, thank you. Zach. By the way, I'll
Speaker 1: let you know some dates. We'll see what it works.
Speaker 4: I got to make sure Dick and Dayton can be there, though,
Speaker 4: because if Dick and Dayton can't be there, I'm not going.
Speaker 1: So I got to make sure he's available, Reggie.
Speaker 5: From me, he's basically the governor of Ohio.
Speaker 1: He is the sovereign nation of Ohio.
Speaker 4: Peop will not leave Ohio was fascinat anything in the world.
Speaker 4: At least he lives in Ohio and not like Rhode
Speaker 4: Island that would be a big problem. Reggie from Detroit says, hey,
Speaker 4: Ben and Danny, if you saw this. With college basketball
Speaker 4: tournament coming up here soon, Bowling Green's point guard played
Speaker 4: three straight games with two broken hands, he says, where
Speaker 4: does this rank on your big board of accomplishments? So
Speaker 4: I didn't see this. You sent me a link here, Reggie,
Speaker 4: so thank you. And Reggie's been a regular emailer off
Speaker 4: and on over the years. But I put that behind.
Speaker 4: Remember when I think I was working with you, Danny,
Speaker 4: I did a week of shows with laryngitis.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that?
Speaker 4: And I I couldn't talk, and I kept doing the
Speaker 4: show and no one from management was listening. So I
Speaker 4: just kept doing the show because I didn't want to
Speaker 4: take a day off and I had laryngitis.
Speaker 5: And I was like, he reminded me of Chick hern
Speaker 5: trying to keep his record of the most NBA consecutive
Speaker 5: play by play games. Oh yeah, and they actually had
Speaker 5: him on the air in the first half of a
Speaker 5: Lakers game. He could not even speak every other word
Speaker 5: you couldn't make out because his laryngitis was so horrible.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, Chicky Burger.
Speaker 4: I covered Chick when he did like three thousand consecutive games.
Speaker 4: His three thousandth game, it was I think MLK Day
Speaker 4: against the Orlando Magic, and they'd given him all these
Speaker 4: little trinkets, and I Joe McDonald, who was the afternoon guy,
Speaker 4: and I was at that Joe Big Nasty, and Joe
Speaker 4: wanted me to have Chick call his show. But at
Speaker 4: the Forum at that time, the cell my cell phone
Speaker 4: did not work because I guess I had the wrong
Speaker 4: cell phone company and it was the Forum. As you know,
Speaker 4: it's kind of cavernous still is. So Chick was like
Speaker 4: he liked Joe and he wanted to do it, So
Speaker 4: I told I told you. So we walked to the
Speaker 4: Laker offices at the Forum, me and Chick and Marge
Speaker 4: Hearn and Uh. I was carrying the uh he gave.
Speaker 4: They give him like a golden basketball and a bunch
Speaker 4: of other crap, so I'm holding it because they're, you know,
Speaker 4: older people. And we went up to the Laker offices
Speaker 4: and Chick called into Joe's show and Joe was so
Speaker 4: excited and then we we walked down the stairs with
Speaker 4: with Chicky Burger and then he had his car waiting
Speaker 4: for him and he took off. But I had to
Speaker 4: carry all that crap, and uh, I remember it was
Speaker 4: just a random story that popped in my head. I
Speaker 4: don't know why I brought that up now, but I did.
Speaker 4: That's kind of stupid. Last one, Kevin from Jersey right
Speaker 4: since says Ben, I know you're you're a big mascot guy,
Speaker 4: and I don't know about Danny. Did you see the
Speaker 4: new mister Met. He's now he's now jacked, He's now
Speaker 4: a muscle guy.
Speaker 1: Are you okay with this?
Speaker 4: So, Kevin, I did not see this until you pointed
Speaker 4: this out. I have seen some photos from spring training.
Speaker 4: Appears to be in Port Saint Lucie, Florida.
Speaker 1: I hate it. Mascots are not supposed to be in shape.
Speaker 4: Mascots are supposed to either be really fat or really
Speaker 4: skinny and no muscle. You you should not have a
Speaker 4: in shape mascot.
Speaker 1: Who goofed?
Speaker 4: I've got to know, And is mister Met doing steroids?
Speaker 4: That's what I want? Is he going to be suspended?
Speaker 4: Mister med for performance enhancing drugs, because that that is
Speaker 4: not good. Not a fan, not a fan, Danny. I
Speaker 4: do not want mister Mett all all roided up. Don't
Speaker 4: need it, do not need it. Mascots should all be shlubs. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like you gotta be like the Philly Fanatic or Wally
Speaker 4: the Green Monster. You just gotta be either you're really
Speaker 4: fat or you're just kind of you're weak looking because you're.
Speaker 5: You have to be seconds away from a heart attack,
Speaker 5: like the Nuggets mascot when he was lowered from the rafters.
Speaker 4: Greatest mascot bit of all time that the mascot scept
Speaker 4: it was real.
Speaker 5: The dude passed out the mascot uniform. And the best
Speaker 5: part was the Denver dancers continue to do their dance
Speaker 5: routine around him as he was dead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, these women are shaking their asses as Rocky comes down.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's dead and they're just the happiest thing. Positively,
Speaker 1: that like smiling, so good. That was so funny.
Speaker 5: That was the greatest mascot moment in all of sports.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was outstanding.
Speaker 4: That and when mister Mett gave the bird, remember that
Speaker 4: was on the front front of the New York Post.
Speaker 4: Mister met gave a fan the bird. All right, get
Speaker 4: out on that, Danny. I'll be back tonight with Selection
