There was a 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: lot of pushback to do the podcast this week. David 20 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: Gascon is back West of the four oh five past. 21 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: I had to twist your arm a little bit Gascon. 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: You did not want to come in here and do this. 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: You had other things you wanted to do, but that, 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: but not the podcast. I don't know if it's twisting 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: my arm as much as it's pouting. But when you 26 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: can call it twisting, you had a little Kyrie mallment, dude, 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: I mean this podcast. Where's you out, Kyrie? Kyrie was 28 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: taking off work to do nothing. I I don't take 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: off work to do nothing. I take off work to 30 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: do other work. Well, Kyrie took off work to go 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: on a zoom call for a political candidate in New 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: York City angling parties. It's a little frazzled, but he's 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: he's doing. Okay. I did not see that photo until 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: you sent it to me. And then when you sent 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: it to me, I thought, okay, I need to slowly 36 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: go through this because there's something in here that he 37 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: wants me to see. And then one by one by one, 38 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: I started It's like a bingo card, right, That's exactly 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: what it was when I started looking at everyone else. So, 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: just to give the story, so a friend of mine 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: sends me this text, Hey, guess who's not at the 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: NETS game tonight? But and then it was obvious. And 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: then it was Kyrie on a zoom call with like 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of other It looked like the Brady Bunch 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: open there's a outdated reference, but it had you know, 46 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: like a zoom call, had all these boxes and there's 47 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: there's a Kyrie checking in full of vitality there and 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: certainly looked fine and not playing in the game that night. 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I love that it was just before the start of 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: the game. It was like a few minutes before the 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: Nets game. I want you to start, and there's there's 52 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: Kyrie doing his thing. But has anyone gone more full 53 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: Looney Tunes in sports over the last few years? And 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: then Kyrie I'm talking about recently? Oh no, But I mean, 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: if you're gonna go full Looney Tunes, then you have 56 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: to be And it's Rodman right, like, don't you just 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: have to go a wall, go to Vegas, bang some strippers, 58 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: do some coke, and then come back to work. Well, well, 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: Rodman was able to play for the Chicago Bulls while 60 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: doing a lot of that. He had, you know, occasionally 61 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: needed a vacation, as we learned in that documentary in 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: twenty where he had to go to Vegas and just 63 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: for whatever. But but he was. And I remember when 64 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: the Bulls would come to La to play the Clippers 65 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: of Lakers. The stories of Rodman's activities were legendary and 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: he didn't slow down. And it's like when I was 67 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: around baseball players years ago and I traveled a little 68 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: bit with the Dodgers and the the guys in the bullpen. 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: They dragged me along. I was a young guy. We 70 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: went out and had a wonderful time at the different 71 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: clubs and different cities. And then I could you know, 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: I was young and I hadn't lived that life, and 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: I could get I was like, I couldn't even get 74 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: out of bed in the hotel room, and then these 75 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: guys are going out pitching. Remember what time it was 76 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: in New York and then the Mets were still playing 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Chase Stadium back then. But we had a very interesting 78 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: night where I got back to the hotel room as 79 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: the sun was rising in Manhattan and they had a 80 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: day game against the Mets. It was a getaway game 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: against the Mets, and a couple of guys I was 82 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: out with frolicking around pitched and I was convinced they 83 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: were gonna be terrible. They were fine, it's like they 84 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: went it was their routine and they I couldn't believe. 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, isn't the old guys are like 86 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: a battery acid in there in their body. Isn't the 87 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: old story that David Wells through his perfect game with 88 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: a hangover? Well there's that, and then there's that picture 89 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: from the pirates who was on on What was he on? Um? 90 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: Some kind of drug? I forget what it was. But 91 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: back in the in the seventies, you know, if they 92 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: weren't playing well, I wanted to see someone come out 93 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: and throw some haymakers, you know, and get and get 94 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: them in line. But now because of the way this 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: is gone here instead of bare knuckle box in some 96 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: pugilism um, they don't want any of that. They want 97 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: they want It seems like the consumer only wants positivity 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to this stuff. They don't want to 99 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: hear anything I And it's like they defend these people 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: like they're they're you know, they're sisters and their brothers. 101 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: It's odd to me, but that's that's the way it goes. 102 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: It's a tough line, though, because there's a lot of 103 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: negativity already in this world. Why have any more on 104 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 1: top of it. Well, yeah, I mean that's the the argument, 105 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: but they treat it personal. I I've never been there 106 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: with us. I love the Clippers, and when the Clippers suck, 107 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: I I point out that they suck. Same thing with 108 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: the Dodger in the ram. I'm not afraid to to 109 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: do that. I think you should do that. I think 110 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: that's a good fan. I think a bad fan is 111 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: to just be a blind sheep and be a lemming, 112 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: and no matter what happens, you're like, oh, it's okay, 113 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: don't worry to make drinks some more kool aid. I 114 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: mean you don't. You don't need the amen choir is 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: what you You don't need that. So at least that's 116 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: my opinions. I realized there's a lot of people in 117 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: radio that now that the younger guys in radio act 118 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: that way too. They don't do that that much of 119 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: the extreme criticism, but their jobs are safer when they don't. 120 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: You would agree when you go when you go looking 121 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: over that edge a little bit like if you go 122 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: full blown Tony Bruno, unless you're Howard Stern, like you 123 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: can't look over the edge and have a security blanket. 124 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: You go over, you could fall over, and just yeah, well, 125 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: it's always like it's a it's a risk assessment. Yeah right, 126 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: it's risk assessment, and you have to do cost benefit 127 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: analysis like is it worth your time? Right, the old 128 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: risk reward situation. And that's always been true, and it 129 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: really depends. It used to be if you made enough 130 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: money for the show, if you were the number one 131 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: morning show or the number one afternoon drive show, you 132 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: had carte blanche, you could, you know, show me the 133 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: money and people would would just cow tounty. But then 134 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: you know, it's like I remember when I was doing 135 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: local stuff and the Clippers were terrible, and but they 136 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: were on the station, so they we were told it 137 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: was a partner, so we had to be careful because 138 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: and I was like what and uh, And then you know, 139 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: it's just it's just the way the game. The game 140 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: has played there and all that stuff. But hey, it's 141 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: been interesting. It's good for talk radio. Though the James 142 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Harden trade. It's not good for the NBA that the 143 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: employees are deciding where they're working and all that. That's 144 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: not particularly great, but it's good for sports radio. And 145 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: Kyrie is the gift that keeps giving. He is the 146 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: cash cow. He is wonderful, But do you feel more 147 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: inclined or less inclined to watch these games though with 148 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: these guys going in and out of the lineup. Yeah, 149 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing. It's also without the fans too, 150 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, this a whole the whole deal. It's just 151 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: not I talked to Eddie about this this weekend. He's like, 152 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: he seems okay with it and cool with he doesn't 153 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: watch the NBA. That doesn't count, no, I know, but 154 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: he's like, you know, he just doesn't seem to mind 155 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: the lack of fans, Like I still still bothers me. 156 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm not not that I loved the cutaway shot to 157 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: Joe Blow getting all excited, but just the energy, just 158 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: the whole vibe and all that. I think it depends 159 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: on the sport like n b A. You know this, 160 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 1: if you're at a Lakers game or a Heat game, 161 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: you get those courtside shots. They're usually nines and tens 162 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: that are getting looked at, but then double at Those 163 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: are lottery picks, right, But the n C Double A tournament, 164 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: you want to get the kid crying his ass off 165 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: because the team just got beat in the sweet sixteen 166 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: and and he thought they were to make a run 167 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: at a twelve seed. I'm down. Aren't need these grown 168 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: adulters sobbing. I don't need to see the drum major 169 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: hears running down their eyes there because their team was eliminated. 170 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Eliminated as opposed to Mr un Limited, the quarterback of 171 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: the Seahawk. All right, so I did want to spend 172 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: a few minutes many people asked about. Well, first of all, 173 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: my my dad, I want to thank many of you 174 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: that reached out to me. Thank you. I've not written 175 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: back to everybody, but very difficult times, you might imagine, 176 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to get back to everybody at 177 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: some point here. Um, there's still a lot of stuff 178 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: to do as far as that is concerned, and my 179 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: brother has been out from New York helping me with 180 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: some of that stuff, a lot of it, actually, so 181 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: I do appreciate that. And while I was away, Tommy 182 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: Losorda passed away, and at some people that were emailing 183 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: me asking me for some Tommy the sort of stories. 184 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna spit ball this off the top 185 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: of my head here because I I didn't, you know, 186 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: prepare anything per se But my relationship with Disorta is 187 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: a pretty bizarre one, I would say, because I grew 188 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: up of watching the Dodgers and any Angels, not just 189 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, any angel. I grew up in Orange County, 190 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: so I watched the Angels too. In the Dodgers, uh, 191 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: And I watched the eighty eight World Series on TV 192 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: with my my parents, and I saw the Gibson home 193 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: run and all that. But in nine four, I got 194 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: I got a gig where I had access to cover 195 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. That was the first year I had media 196 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: credentials to cover the Dodgers. Losorto was still managing. So 197 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm mind you, I'm like a teenager or whatever, and um, 198 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, interviewing all these people that a few years 199 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: ago I was watching on TV, and you know, it's 200 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: a weird thing. So but Losorto was managing the team 201 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: in four and I covered the team the last the 202 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: last two and a half seasons that he managed. He 203 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: he left in the middle of the nineties six season. 204 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: He had I think he had a heart attack. He 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: had a health problem, and he was replaced I believe 206 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: by Glenn Hoffman was the interim manager that Bill Russell 207 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: took over whatever doesn't matter, but anyway, so, uh, you know, 208 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: I was in awe when I was first around the sword. 209 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: I mean the sort was a bigger than life personality 210 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: and to see behind the scenes, behind the curtain, to 211 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: see how it all operates, you know, it was it 212 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: was ile and I was like whoa. You know. I 213 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: was in the same way and renovated the locker room 214 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium in Forever. So it was a crap 215 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: locker room. But a couple of things I remember about 216 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: those years, the last couple of years Tommy was managing 217 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: the Dodgers is he always had the buffet, the post 218 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: game buffet in his office, so the players, if they 219 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: wanted to get food, had to walk past his desk 220 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: to get food. He had this big, long table. It 221 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 1: was like it had drawers underneath it, but it was 222 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: the buffet table. And so they'd bring in that night's meal, 223 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 1: the postgame meal, and so you know that I remember 224 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: remember call that and also remember the two types of 225 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: the sword. And this was very intimidating for a young 226 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: radio stringer, okay, because I didn't really know the rules, 227 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: and I kind of learned as I went along. You know, 228 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: most people do that, and nobody told me here's what 229 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: you do, here's what you don't do. But my first time, 230 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: first two times around the Dodgers in in the ninety 231 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: four season, I recall very vividly when the Dodgers were winning, 232 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: right when they were winning, and they were like a 233 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: pretty average team that year, right around five hundred. But 234 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: when they won, you got happy Tommy, and he wanted 235 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: to tell you couldn't wait for us media guys to 236 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: come in there, and when we got right next to him, 237 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: put the mic right there and he had a beaming 238 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: smile talking about his team and whoever was pitching that 239 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: day and all that stuff. So that was one Tommy. 240 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: And then I remember when the Dodges would lose, it 241 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: was a totally different Tommy. He would be sullen, he 242 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: would be down and uh and I recall going in 243 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: there and you know, you know, I stand right next 244 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: to and put a microphone down his throat, and he 245 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: would be eating. He never really I don't remember ember 246 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: eating after they won a game, but when they lost, 247 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: he would be eating in there, and they like spitting 248 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: food and all that stuff. I would call that very much. 249 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: But but Tommy was very nice to me, and they 250 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: did make the playoffs, and then I think the ninety 251 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: five season they made the playoffs and got swept. It 252 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: was the I think that might have been the first 253 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: year of the expansion of the playoffs. They were in 254 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: the divisional series. They played and I think it was 255 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: Cincinnati that year. I think they played Cincinnati that year, 256 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: but they did not play well. That was the I 257 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: remember correctly, Benito Santiago was playing for the Reds. He 258 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: had a big home run and I believe it was 259 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: Game one, if I remember correctly. But that's that's the 260 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: year that I stood next to march Shot behind the 261 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: batting cage and I was like three times the size 262 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: of March Shot and she had her dog with her. 263 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't remember the dog being there that day, but 264 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: I remember her wearing that red sweater, the bright red 265 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Red sweater, and she wanted to get right behind 266 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: the batting cage there to watch the guys. And I 267 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: remember the players coming up to her on the Reds 268 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: and I guess you have to suck up the ownership 269 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: and uh and all that. But those were the days 270 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: of the Dodgers had Piazza and Carols and yeah, Jose 271 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: Offerman was hanging around there. Tim Wallack was on that team, 272 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Mandy Um Yeah, and they had Hdeo Nomo Nomo Mania 273 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: was going on. Tom Candiotti's knuckleball he was pitching then. 274 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: And Ramon Martinez. Yeah, my, Ramon Martinez was good. Yeah, 275 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: he was a good pitcher, unfortunately not as good as 276 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: his brother, but they had him too. He was. Yeah, 277 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: well for a few kind of got away from them. Yeah, 278 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: Ramon was more of like a twelve to fifteen game 279 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: winner as opposed to a twenty game winner at Hall 280 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: of Famer. Yeah, he's you know. You know, Ramon actually 281 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: pitched a few games for the eighty eight Dodgers, did 282 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: you did he really? Yeah? And I think not many, 283 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: but he did did end up on that team. Uh. 284 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: And then some of the other memories about about Tommy 285 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: just kind of scatter shot here. I recall when when 286 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: Tommy couldn't manage anymore, and then eventually he became he 287 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: was like the liaison for the Dodgers. He was the ambassador. 288 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: He's for the rest of his life. He was the 289 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: the goodwill ambassador for the Dodgers. But I remember when 290 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: they had him as the Interiom general manager. And it 291 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: was one of the funniest stories. I have, one of 292 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: the funniest Tommy stories. So Tommy gave this speech, this 293 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: address to the assembled media, and he was going on 294 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: and on about how you know, you guys can write 295 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: whatever you want, you can say whatever you want. I 296 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: don't care. You know, I'm the general manager. I'm gonna 297 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: do what I want to do. That kind of thing, 298 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, a lot him achievement. I loved it. So 299 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm in the press dining room at at Chevez Ravine 300 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: and uh Ug Kricorian, the great Dougricorian, longtime l a 301 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: sports writer, retired for many years. So Doug Recorian was 302 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: riding for the Long Beach Press Telegram at the time, 303 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: and apparently he had done something that annoyed the sort. 304 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: And now the reason we know this is because Tommy 305 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: stormed into the press box. He's the general manager of 306 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: the time, goes into the press dining room and says, 307 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: where's listen, where where's Krikorian? He wanted he wanted to 308 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: find Doug because Doug had written something ripping a move 309 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Tommy had made. It was just hilarious because it's like 310 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: a couple of days earlier he had said, oh, no, 311 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: you can say whatever you want. I don't care, you know, 312 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And then I remember another sort 313 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: of so I remember in Via Beach there is a 314 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: few years after he was managing, and it was St. 315 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: Patrick's Day, St. Patty's Day in Vero Beach and it was, 316 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, a big deal in spring training. They had 317 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: they brought out the green beer and green hats and 318 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: they had a big Saint uh St Patrick's party. This 319 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: was actually the time that the O'Malley family was transitioning 320 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: to Fox, to the Fox ownership for the Dodgers, but 321 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: there was a big party. We were doing the show 322 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: back to l A. So it was on very late. 323 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: And Tommy, who I had a you know, a pretty 324 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: good relationship with as a media guy. You know, I 325 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: didn't know, wasn't close personal friends, but I thought, you know, 326 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: he knew who I was, which was you know, it's 327 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: a big accomplish when you're on the Dodgers of Tommy 328 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: Losorda and Vince Scully knew who you were. That was 329 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: a big deal. And I got I was lucky because 330 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: both of them, you know, I I relationally knew my 331 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: name and thing. So that was pretty cool. I was 332 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: very proud of that. But Losorda was the general manager, 333 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: you know. Later on. This is before that. So we 334 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: were in Vero Beach at this this this gallows St. 335 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Patrick's Day event. We're doing the show back to l A. 336 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: So it's late, you know, it's like, you know, midnight, 337 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: one in the morning, whatever we do on a night 338 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: show in l A Bet and Dave show. And it's 339 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: very rainy night in Virio Beach, like a huge monsoon 340 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: is coming down, and nobody wanted to leave because it 341 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: was really nasty weather and they just want to day 342 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: in party. And when you run the Dodger Town, which 343 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: is I guess something else now but obviously not there. 344 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: I think it's a baseball facility, training facility anyway, So 345 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: the sort of comes down. He is, uh, he's wearing 346 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: a he's got a big green St. Patty's Day had on, 347 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: and he's enjoyed himself. Tommy, he's you know, he's at 348 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: a good time at the party. And he's in that 349 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: room and we were getting vintage Lotsorta in this little 350 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: small radio booth, which was the Dodger Talk booth that 351 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: they did in Vero Beach that they did the shows 352 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: for the postgame show, and uh, it was awesome. I mean, 353 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: Tommy was just he didn't want to leave. It was 354 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: like it was it was really really a lot of 355 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: fun there. And I remember that. And also remember, you know, 356 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: the last few years I would run into Tommy and 357 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: I I think there was something. And as he got older, 358 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: I think he, um, you know, his memories started to 359 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: go a little bit. But I recall like this weird 360 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: connection because I had started as like the teenage guy 361 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: and he was near the end. You know, it was 362 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: like so he kind of remembered that I was one 363 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: of the reporters that cover the team because there weren't 364 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: a lot of guys left and that that were around 365 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: in in the days that he was. Man, he's been 366 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: a long time, and people lose jobs and do other 367 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: things and things like that. So I love being around Losorda. 368 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. And and I and 369 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: also the other stories about Tommy the Great rants and 370 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: and people think the Kingman rants the greatest rand. I 371 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: think the one with Kurt Bovakua is even better than 372 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: the Kingman ran. And and I know you've heard that 373 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: over the years, like the remember the Bovacua rant from Losorda. Yeah, 374 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: I'm trying to look for right now. Well it was. 375 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: It was in the nineteen eighty two. The Dodgers are 376 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: playing the Padres, and I guess the Dodger pitchers kept 377 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: hitting Padre batters and Kurt Bovacua of the San Diego Padres, 378 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: I guess he came out and they got into a 379 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: dust up, and then after the game he called Tommy 380 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: the sort of that fat little Italian and uh, uh, 381 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: my man, Tommy back. Imagine if you did that now. 382 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: Could you imagine if Bavakua came out and said you 383 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: fat little attack and today, oh my god, he'd be canceled. 384 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: He'd be canceled. It could be nothing that but in 385 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: those days like okay, we'll settle our you know, this 386 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: is how we do it. Men would be men, and 387 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: do you say that, I'll get back at you. So 388 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: the next day, let's sort of, when they was asked 389 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: about it, he went on this awesome rant and uh 390 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: it was. It's true. I recommends on the internet. You 391 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: can find it on the YouTube. I'm sure it's on 392 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: there somewhere. But Jim Healy, one of my favorite radio 393 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: shows when I was growing up. Used to play it 394 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: every once in a while. But his rant was essentially uh. 395 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: He said, I'm trying to get the funny like, oh, 396 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: but Bavakua couldn't hit water if he fell out of 397 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: an f and boat. That was one and then he 398 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: said I got in the other line that was used 399 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: as a dry was I garan ffort you when I pitched? 400 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: This is a little sort of when I pitched and 401 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: I was going to pitch against the team that had 402 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: guys like on it, like Bavakua, I sent an e 403 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: and limousine to get that CSR to make sure he 404 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: was in the mother fin lineup. It was awesome. It was. 405 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: And the late great Joe McDonald, the big Nasty l 406 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: A radio legend, the francessa of l A Sports radio, 407 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: Joe McDonald, he told me he was out there all 408 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: the time and he was friends with But he told 409 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: me and some of the other guys that cover the team, 410 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: but way before I was around, in the heyday of Tommy, 411 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: that those rants, the rants about Kingman and the rant 412 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: about Bavakua, there were others that were not recorded with 413 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: audio that were even better that that were lost for 414 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: time because it was just newspaper people and they were 415 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: writing notes trying to repeat what he said. Um so 416 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: I he had so many of those moms were the 417 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: Philly fanatic got into with the Philly fanatie ache and 418 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: and also Losorda is responsible for the first mascot ever 419 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: being ejected from a baseball game. You know which mascot 420 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: is it? Mr Matt No, you Pi the Montreal Expo's 421 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: mascot and the Expo's mascot. Who's I think that Montreal 422 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: Canadians mascot now? But you p was on the dugout 423 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: and would bang on the visiting dugout in Montreal, and 424 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: the Expos had good teams and the Dodgers and remember 425 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: they played the Rick Monday home run was in Montreal. 426 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: Um anyway, sort of was so upset with his mascot 427 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: distracting his team by banging on the dugout that he 428 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: went out and started screaming, and anyway, the mascot ended 429 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: up getting ejected first time in baseball history. Tommy the 430 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: sorta responsible for the first mascot ejection. That's pretty good. Yeah, 431 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: So anyway, rest in peace, Tommy Losorda and he he 432 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: will will be was I don't know. Some people think 433 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: he was phony. I don't I never got that that sense. 434 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I also remember one of the other things 435 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: that popped in my head when you talk about the 436 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: sorta is I recall the Hollywood crowd and they had 437 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: this little area outside the Dodger Clubhouse, this little cubbyhole 438 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: thing outside the Dodger Clubhouse, and I remember the big 439 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: stars of the day would be waiting outside. Because the 440 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: way it worked is the media they had a ten 441 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,239 Speaker 1: minute cooling off period. Media would come in, you had 442 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: interview the sort of first, then you interview the players, 443 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: then you left, and then once everyone in the media left, 444 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: the sort of would welcome in, you know, some of 445 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: the celebrities. And I remember the day that it was 446 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: a big deal. Frank Sinatra came to a Dodger game, 447 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: old blue Eyes music allegend, Frank Sinatra and friends with 448 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: with the Sorda and he came in this big limo 449 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: caravanan and all that, and it was a big, big 450 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: to do big to do. So again, Rest in peace, Tommy. 451 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm forgetting some stories that will pop up 452 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: somewhere down the line here somewhere down the line. Now 453 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: I have if we have time for we can do 454 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: a few I have a few bizarre, odd, crazy things 455 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: I've found on the internet. Stories. Yeah, we can do that. 456 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Did you see the story of the racing pigeon, that 457 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: is the racing pigeon that could be killed? Now, no, 458 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: what country was this then? All right, so this is 459 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: a great story. I don't know how anyone really knows 460 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: these type of things, but it's uh, it's there. So 461 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: the this is from Australia. A racing pigeon traveled from 462 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Oregon to Australia eight thousand miles eight thousand miles, all right, 463 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: surviving imagine. I don't know that I could survive a 464 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: trip on a boat across the Pacific, so across from 465 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: the United States to all the way to Australia. And 466 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: now the people in Australia so paranoid about the Boogeyman 467 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: that they consider the burg a quarantine risk for the 468 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: Corona and they are they're planning to kill it. Yeah. 469 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: The bird arrived in Melbourne in the December. It had 470 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: been in a race October twenty nine, so from in Oregon, 471 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: so from October twenty nine to December. It crossed the Pacific. 472 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: They think the working hypothesis is the pigeon, which is 473 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: named Joe by the way, Joe the pigeon. They think 474 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: that Joe the pigeon hitched a ride on a cargo 475 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: ship across the Pacific. See, that's a smart move by 476 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: the bird, because you might say, maybe in the middle. 477 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: Imagine if you're a bird in the middle of the Pacific, 478 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, I'm gonna take off now, well you 479 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: would die right there's nowhere to you know, you couldn't 480 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: make it back and all that, And so I stayed 481 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: on the boat. Cargo ship gets to Australia and now 482 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service are freaking out and 483 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, this is unsafe. Sounds like the the 484 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Great movie Outbreak. I don't know if you were watched 485 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: that movie back in the day. Dustin Hoffman, Renee Russo. 486 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: I feel like I did, but I don't remember. So 487 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: you can repeat Kevin Space he was in it too. 488 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: Um let's see, because Dustin Hoffman was in the military, 489 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: but he was a it was a medical doctor and 490 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: him and Renee Russo had a splitting up. Anyways, what 491 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: happened was is that this monkey had a virus. It 492 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: was called like the Mutabi virus. Yeah, and it hit 493 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: on this cargoes ship and it scratched one guy who 494 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: had it as a pet, and he died on the boat. 495 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: But the monkey was still in the in the cage, 496 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: and so it went to a pet shop but I 497 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: think in San Francisco or like in the middle of California, 498 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: and then it was sold. It was sold after the 499 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: owner of the store got bit by the monkey. And 500 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 1: so you have this virus that was now being pushed 501 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: around this area, this town in California, and Dustin Hoffman 502 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: was trying to fight off this virus. At the same time, 503 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman and I want to say it was Donald 504 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: Sutherland were colonels in the military and they wanted to 505 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: basically napalm the entire town. So they were talking about 506 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: like just blowing up this entire town because they had 507 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: a Mutabi virus. So Dustin Hoppman and Kuba Gooding Jr. 508 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: Were able to get the host, the host monkey, extract 509 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: the the the antibodies from it, and then injected into 510 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: people to make them a hole again. So that's that's 511 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: tremendous movie knowledge, guest. And I'm I'm shocked that you 512 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: remember all those details. They're just reading on the internet. No, no, 513 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: it was the nineties. We got no internet right now. 514 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: It is that right. The internet is not working? Is 515 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: what happened to the internet. Man, I'm happy the door 516 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: is open, right. This thing is being held together by 517 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: a tin can and some tape and mcgiver's pocket knife 518 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: is keeping this thing going. When you go back to 519 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: the studio, what's it gonna be like? Because before you laugh, 520 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: you were you were high hurtling over trash. Um. You know. 521 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: The wall was was taped up with with sponsor logos 522 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: and those aren't there anymore. Um. I wonder if you 523 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: know how to get back into the building. It's been 524 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: so long. Wow. Uh, well I was supposed to go 525 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: pick up the mail you get a lot. Yeah, I 526 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: haven't haven't been able to do that because of some stuff. 527 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: And yeah, I'll get back there. But I have a 528 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: feeling we'll probably doing this kind of set up for 529 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: a while, so I don't think, you know, even when 530 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: things they get back, I have a feeling that the 531 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: the setup will continue, uh later on. But But anyway, 532 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: what other story. I a couple other bizarre stories that 533 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: I saw surfing around the inter web, the interweb. Do 534 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: you see the magic mushroom story? No? What's the shout 535 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: out super marios?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 541 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: that's a good story. That's something. Well you can do 542 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: that right now. So yeah, in Japan, this guy, I 543 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: think this is a legit story. I've never heard of 544 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: this newspaper, but it's it's the Japanese National Daily since 545 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: nineteen two? Is it the Menici? Is that how you 546 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: say it's good? I've never been never been to He've 547 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: been to Japan. No. I do want to go to 548 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Tokyo though, that'd be awesome. Yeah, my dad used to. 549 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: One of the big trips he went on when he 550 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: was working as an engineer was to Japan, and he 551 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: loved He always would tell the story about going to 552 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: Japan and how cool it was and how you know, 553 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: it's just amazing the whole. You know, just opened his 554 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: eyes to this whole. It was really cool for him. 555 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: But anyway, so in Tokyo, this thirties seven year old 556 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: guy rents himself out to other people. He's like, I 557 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: think that's like what prostitutes do. Anyway, he rents himself 558 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: out to other people's quote do nothing, and he has 559 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: been apparently overwhelmed with people on social media whatnot very 560 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: happy with his support. I guess in the Japanese culture, 561 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: apparently you're supposed to work and you're not supposed to 562 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: be a lazy slug, and this guy is a lazy slug. 563 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: He'd do well here in America. And there's a couple 564 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: of things though, So he can eat and drink with 565 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: you and give simple feedback, but he can't do anything more. 566 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: This is better than cameo. Yeah, well, considering now, he 567 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: charges ten thousand yen, which works out to be nineties 568 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: six dollars per per request. Yeah, and I should really 569 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: charge in cameo. I should do yen because it sounds 570 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: more impressive. Boy, right, No, because if you charge in yen, 571 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna have a higher dollar amount you don't want 572 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,959 Speaker 1: to have. No, no, no, no, no no, because forty 573 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: dollars in yen, forty U s dollars is four thousand 574 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: Japanese yenn. Yeah, so that's great though, I'm I, I am. 575 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: My price on cameo is four thousand dollars. That might 576 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: intimidate some people though, but it's yen, I know, but 577 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: people don't know any better. Uh, well, I could do 578 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: I can do pesos, right, you can do pastos, Yes, 579 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: I can do pastos. That's seven hundred eighty eight dollars 580 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: in the Mexican peso. So that's that's some more impressive 581 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: than forty bucks. Now, would you Rushton? I've I've I've 582 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: not been to Mexico. I've been I used to work 583 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: in Sandy. I never spent time in Mexico. So how 584 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: how much does the pain? How far does the pace go? 585 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: If I had seven Mexican paces, how far would that go? 586 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: Pretty far? It would? Yeah? So like how I mean, 587 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: how much your drinks? How many pay if I went 588 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: to a bar in Tijuana? How much your drink? Oh, 589 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: you can get drinks really cheap beers or even just 590 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: their their well drinks like liquor and some kind of 591 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to drink the water though, No, that 592 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: made that bad decision and once and mina zoomas revenge, right, Yeah, yeah, 593 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: I did it on a wedding on a cruise down 594 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: there Ticago. Not good. But yeah, a beara gets you. 595 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: I mean how much though, how much? Like two bucks three? 596 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: So you two U S dollars? Yeah, and they take 597 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: so that's like thirty nine paces It's good. Now, it's 598 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: not a it's not a beer in a bottle, it's 599 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: a beer in a plastic cup. But when you're in 600 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: t J, you're you don't give a fuck. Yeah, but 601 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: usually you're at that age of like eighteen nineteen one 602 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: years old where you're down there. I don't recommend going 603 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: to Mexico anytime soon. You're experiencing. You want to stay 604 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: off the roads, away from the fake federalllies that are 605 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: pretending to be federalllies that are not. But even the 606 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: federalllities you can I've heard from many people that cut them, 607 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: cut him a check. No. Yeah, it's no different than 608 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: here in California, where you have mayors and in cities 609 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: like Los Angeles that cut off your power if you're 610 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: hanging out with people and whatnot. So well, just keep 611 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: putting new restrictions and even though they're not working, they 612 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: just keep keep doing. That's good, good strategy, sound strategy. Now, 613 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: would you would you rather be this guy or would 614 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: you see? Here's the thing that sucks is that this 615 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: guy has something going from it's really good thirty seven 616 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: years old, nineties six dollars to do fucking nothing. But 617 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: then you get the females that do nothing but play 618 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: video games and they charge you to watch them. Yeah, 619 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: I see, I like money, but I also have like 620 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: things like ambition and work ethic and I feel like 621 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: you need to have a purpose in life and those 622 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: kind of things. And so I wouldn't do when when 623 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: I have time off, and I had a lot before, 624 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, I had my my situation my dad. But 625 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: I was on vacation for a couple of weeks and 626 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: it was tough. I I admitted, I'm a I'm a 627 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: workaholic as much as you can be in a job 628 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: like radio, but it's not like a real job like 629 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, working at a factory, driving a truck or 630 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: something like that. But I put a lot of can 631 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: do it. So yeah, all right, Well the magic mushroom 632 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: story here.

He had organ failure. Why, he 635 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: injected himself with a team made from magic mushrooms, psychedelic mushrooms, 636 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: and they claimed that these magic mushrooms started growing in 637 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: his veins.

Is that right? Yeah? I was only you 650 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: I read something the UFC is like investigating whether to 651 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: give their fighters some of those psychedelic drugs. That's fat men. 652 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: I read that they used to do that back in 653 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: the day. I know that, and in Europe, and then 654 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: of course it's illegal here in the United States.
