Speaker 1: Cut booms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Maller and Danny G
Speaker 3: Radio A Happy Saturday to you. The day after the
Speaker 3: fireworks extravaganza, which I think is still going on somewhere
Speaker 3: Danny G.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was an all night situation here and.
Speaker 3: I live, and you know, I know you're on the road,
Speaker 3: but where I live it's and I think where we
Speaker 3: both live, it's like fireworks are illegal, You're not allowed
Speaker 3: to have them.
Speaker 1: H It's wild, man.
Speaker 3: It is just been NonStop as soon as the sun
Speaker 3: started going down, kaboom kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom kaboom.
Speaker 3: So it's been been quite the long night. Now the
Speaker 3: good news is for me, Moxie, my dog not really
Speaker 3: upset by fireworks. Moxie seems perfectly fine.
Speaker 4: But did you put one of those comfort jackets on? No,
Speaker 4: I have not seen those.
Speaker 3: But my old dog, Bella famously ran away on the
Speaker 3: fourth of July as I was leaving to go to work.
Speaker 3: She snuck out the door and sprinted, and I thought
Speaker 3: that was the end of Bella. But fortunately Moxie not
Speaker 3: not in bad shape.
Speaker 1: But ye know, I've not seen the but they'll sell anything.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: We should have gotten in that racket, Danny, some kind
Speaker 3: of dog comfort vest.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it's a tight fit on them, and
Speaker 4: it's something that probably started on Shark Tank. Do any
Speaker 4: of you have a dog that hates the Fourth of
Speaker 4: July and fireworks? As one blasts off right now, because
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, it is an all weekend thing in
Speaker 4: southern California. Yeah, and I'm in your old stopping grounds.
Speaker 5: I'm in San Diego.
Speaker 4: To be more specific, I was in Cheula Vista yesterday
Speaker 4: or as we call it, Cheu La Vista and now
Speaker 4: El Cajone, where they are known to set fires from fireworks.
Speaker 4: In fact, in the lobby of the hotel last night
Speaker 4: and all this morning. I've seen National Guard and fire crews,
Speaker 4: wildfire crews, they're being paid overtime. They're just on standby
Speaker 4: thinking that there's going to be fires.
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's actually smart, that's proactive. Maybe if they
Speaker 3: at the Mayor of Los Angeles hadn't gone overseas and
Speaker 3: had prepared, La would not have burned down, right, Malibu
Speaker 3: wouldn't have burned down and.
Speaker 5: Path that's a good point.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing if you actually prepare for stuff,
Speaker 1: you can circumvent a lot of the damage. That's good.
Speaker 1: That's good to hear. Actually, I'm happy about that.
Speaker 5: So on this.
Speaker 3: Podcast, we've got the dog Father returns, Dirty Looks, cannon ball,
Speaker 3: and possibly the phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to begin with this Danny.
Speaker 3: So now I don't know what is more American this
Speaker 3: Fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 1: You know, people talk about.
Speaker 3: Fireworks, baseball, Mom apple Pie, I say, watching a grown
Speaker 3: ass man from northern California who relocated to Indiana inhale
Speaker 3: seventy and a half, hot dogs and buns in ten minutes,
Speaker 3: while the Statue of Liberty is looking on off in
Speaker 3: the distance. There likely the statue literally saying what the
Speaker 3: f is that? But how great? How great is that
Speaker 3: is a tradition. We've had Joey Chestnut on this podcast, Danny,
Speaker 3: I have his number from not that he's the most
Speaker 3: social guy in the world, but Chestnut is back, and
Speaker 3: not just back, Danny back on top of the food
Speaker 3: mountain like a mustard slicked Zeus descending from Mount Olympus.
Speaker 5: Friend of the program.
Speaker 4: And I waited a few hours because I knew he
Speaker 4: would be busy and on the toilet. But I texted
Speaker 4: him congratulations, and about an hour later he wrote back,
Speaker 4: thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Nice stomach of steel and a job that could? I
Speaker 3: mean essentially true through rebar that watching him, he's forty one,
Speaker 3: great hope for middle aged people.
Speaker 5: Forty one goat a goat in more ways than one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could. He eats like a goat.
Speaker 3: A seventeenth Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog eating contest. There
Speaker 3: Friday for us on the West coast morning. It was afternoon,
Speaker 3: early afternoon on the East coast. Seventeen though, Danny, that
Speaker 3: is that's not when people talk about dynasties, you guys, Ah,
Speaker 3: what is a dynasty? When I think we agree three
Speaker 3: out of five right in that usually what we say
Speaker 3: is a dynasty of three out of five, but seventeen.
Speaker 5: He's the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Stop the kind of dominance that people have a Tom Brady,
Speaker 3: you know, the most recent Patriot run and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: You know, if you put Tom brady next to Joey Chestnut,
Speaker 3: Tom Brady's like an intern to Joey Chestnut. And I
Speaker 3: love the story because he did it missing last year's
Speaker 3: contest because there was that sponsorship sponsorship dispute.
Speaker 1: You know, he went with the vegie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he showed no signs of leaner rust.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's the thing, Titty. He was not benched
Speaker 1: because he got hurt.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe he ate a hot dog, he went
Speaker 3: down wrong, or he didn't stop because he got too old.
Speaker 1: He got stopped because of capitalism. That's what stopped Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 4: And it's because he was eating plant based or sponsoring
Speaker 4: plant based doggies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's not you know, I know he's trying
Speaker 3: to make a buck and that's fine. But yeah, so
Speaker 3: I did the malor math. He ate seventy and a
Speaker 3: half hot dogs and buns in ten minutes, so using malor,
Speaker 3: Matt Danny, that is seven hot dogs a minute seven
Speaker 3: in sixty seconds, one every eight point five seconds, if
Speaker 3: my math is correct, and that is why that's one. Essentially,
Speaker 3: one segment of a talk radio show is about ten
Speaker 3: minutes usually maybe sometimes a little more.
Speaker 4: Top of the A blocks, usually you push it to
Speaker 4: about twenty two minutes.
Speaker 3: Well, I have no one, you know, working with me,
Speaker 3: so I just keep going. But yeahs I do pretty long.
Speaker 3: And so anyway, Joey Chestnut amazing, and he did it
Speaker 3: with this calm at watching him eat Dan after you
Speaker 3: saw the live thing of the rebroadcast, but he or
Speaker 3: it's on I guess ESPN plus whoever is that?
Speaker 1: I think that's what it was on.
Speaker 3: Anyway, mechanical, robotic, just amazing, cold blooded, glizzy gobbler, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1: And did you see the.
Speaker 3: Crowd on Coney Island there in Brooklyn, China. This was
Speaker 3: like a Trump rally. It was like a political round.
Speaker 3: They were chanting his name, he was President Trump, and
Speaker 3: they had the hot dog hats, the goofy hats, the flags.
Speaker 3: It was reminded me when I was a kid watching
Speaker 3: hul Cogan come out at WrestleMania, you know, and he
Speaker 3: do that thing with his hands you know, put it up.
Speaker 3: You know, I can't hear you. It was it was good.
Speaker 3: It's like joy chess. That is not He's not just
Speaker 3: a competitive eater, Danny at this point. He's a symbol
Speaker 3: right now, maybe absurdity and bloated and all that stuff, but.
Speaker 1: Loud, proud, and for some people, slightly nauseating.
Speaker 3: I did want to mention that because I've ranted for
Speaker 3: years about my love of joe you know, not not
Speaker 3: of Joey Chestnut particularly, but the competitive eating scene. And
Speaker 3: every time I bring this up, whether it's here on
Speaker 3: the fifth hour podcast of the radio, someone will question
Speaker 3: me about why I love this porky pig palooza and
Speaker 3: all this stuff, and they they'll send me this, this
Speaker 3: is what's wrong with America. You know, this is a
Speaker 3: gastril intestinal crime issue. This is terrible. And my response
Speaker 3: always Danny's fooy, right. And it's like, if you can
Speaker 3: watch someone dunk a basketball and I appreciate someone dunking
Speaker 3: a basketball from the foul line, right, and you call
Speaker 3: that art because oh that's art, that's artistic, right, Or
Speaker 3: somebody throwing a sixty yard spiral in an NFL game. Listen,
Speaker 3: if you can call those things art. You can call
Speaker 3: Joey Chestnut covered in hot dog goo in the minute nine,
Speaker 3: And you know, dunking a bun in water, and you
Speaker 3: can call that poetry, right, you can call it poetry.
Speaker 5: Amazing too.
Speaker 4: Are the all those buns it's not just hot dogs,
Speaker 4: the buns that they obviously dip in the water. To me,
Speaker 4: it seems like that would fill me up really fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the bread absolutely well. And and and as
Speaker 1: I go back to.
Speaker 3: The point that this is, you know, art, it was
Speaker 3: that that famous Julia Child quote. There's a there's a
Speaker 3: name I didn't think I mentioned again, but she had
Speaker 3: a great coach. She said everything can be drama if
Speaker 3: it's done right right, even like a pancake. And that's
Speaker 3: Joey Chestnut. As you said, you get into that. And
Speaker 3: and everyone was hoping for a record. He didn't set
Speaker 3: the record. Now he had already, hey already owns the record.
Speaker 3: But seventy hot dogs, seventy and a half the hot dogs.
Speaker 3: And when he's getting there and you're like, is he
Speaker 3: is he on pace for the record? Is he gonna
Speaker 3: get to the record?
Speaker 1: Like all that?
Speaker 3: So you cannot undersell the drama and and and then
Speaker 3: again last year.
Speaker 1: I circle back to the fact that he was out.
Speaker 3: He was exiled, Joey Chestnut, and he was a nomad
Speaker 3: wandering around, you know, because he was stuck in this
Speaker 3: purgatory from the promotion of the Veggie Dog. And now
Speaker 3: he returns. Remember when Jordan came back. Wasn't he wearing
Speaker 3: like a forty five jersey for the bulls when he
Speaker 3: you remember that, yeah, or in the you know, Rocky
Speaker 3: in the Rocky final round or whatever. But it was great.
Speaker 3: I mean, he came back, he conquered. So rather than
Speaker 3: I know some of you right now, I'm going to
Speaker 3: send an email of the mallow. He doesn't get it, No,
Speaker 3: raise a glass of pepto bismol and salute the man,
Speaker 3: the myth, the mustarn belt legend, who stands on top
Speaker 3: of all the Wieners as the king of Wiener.
Speaker 1: Mountain right there.
Speaker 3: And you know, in this wacky world, Danny, that we
Speaker 3: all share where oftentimes because we get every negative story
Speaker 3: you want on social media spinning off its axis. You
Speaker 3: I think the whole world's falling apart. To me, there's
Speaker 3: something comforting about the fact that Joey Chestnut can take
Speaker 3: a year off and come back and be the sausage
Speaker 3: king right there. God Bless America, God Bless Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: That's what I have to say. That's what I have
Speaker 1: to say.
Speaker 3: That Godfather returns and he gets dirty looks. I'm guessing
Speaker 3: he's not alone, Danny when it comes to dirty looks.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Well, he only gets dirty looks from his competition, the
Speaker 4: fans obviously, Adorum, so does our network. But if he
Speaker 4: were to wear a Dodgers jersey or a Dodgers hat
Speaker 4: in the city of San Diego, he would get dirty
Speaker 4: looks from even his fans.
Speaker 5: And were you dead?
Speaker 1: Have you been decked out this weekend? And your Dodger swag?
Speaker 5: Have you been wan old? Okay?
Speaker 4: And not just me, but the whole family has had
Speaker 4: some sort of Dodger gear on, whether if you a hat,
Speaker 4: a jersey. I had an Otani shirt on yesterday. And
Speaker 4: there is no love loss between the cities of Los
Speaker 4: Angeles and San Diego right now when it comes to
Speaker 4: baseball and this rivalry between the Dodgers and the Padres.
Speaker 4: We were inside a target yesterday getting some bathroom supplies
Speaker 4: for the hotel, and I saw three different San Diego fans.
Speaker 4: One was wearing a Machado jarer, one was wearing a
Speaker 4: Tatist junior jersey. They looked at me as if I
Speaker 4: had two hands, the scowl on their faces, the dirty
Speaker 4: looks that I got, that my step son got. They
Speaker 4: looked like they wanted to box. And here I hear
Speaker 4: that San Diego is one of the most friendly cities
Speaker 4: in the In fact, it was voted the most friendly
Speaker 4: city in America. Not if you're wearing Dodgers gear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you should point out that Machado's Dodger trash
Speaker 3: that he played for the Dodgers, and remember his my memory.
Speaker 1: There's two things I remember about Machado as a Dodger.
Speaker 3: Remember he stepped on the first baseman for the Brewers
Speaker 3: at the time, he stepped on his ankle.
Speaker 1: Remember that there was a big contest.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then and then I was at the game.
Speaker 3: I got hooked up a friend of the program, big
Speaker 3: shot Big TV mogul hooked us up with tickets of
Speaker 3: the World Series. But I was at the game that
Speaker 3: went like eighteen innings. It was ridiculous. But in that
Speaker 3: game him, I witnessed at the World Series Manna Machado
Speaker 3: against the Dodger against the Red Sox as a Dodger
Speaker 3: hit the longest single in world.
Speaker 1: Here is serious history. He hit a ball off the wall.
Speaker 3: He thought it was gone, and he was showboating, you know,
Speaker 3: he and he only ended up at first base.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: But if you really want to piss off podcasts, you
Speaker 1: could wear like an old dog.
Speaker 5: He's no Johnny Hustle.
Speaker 3: Okay, I know, I know exactly you should wear like
Speaker 3: an old Machado Dodger jersey. But yeah, you know, I
Speaker 3: was just as we talked about it. I was in San Diego.
Speaker 3: The son graduated from boot camp, so I was down
Speaker 3: there and I did wear I did have a Dodger
Speaker 3: hat on, but it was like a Brooklyn Dodger hat.
Speaker 3: So a lot of people confuse the Brooklyn Dodger hat
Speaker 3: with the Red Sox hat they don't wear. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: don't know that it's the Dodger hat. So it's kind
Speaker 3: of incognito a way to do it. But that's the
Speaker 3: only game left. I mean, think they've lost every other
Speaker 3: professional sports team in the in the major industrial complex
Speaker 3: of sports in San Diego, the Chargers, who should still
Speaker 3: be the San Diego Chargers. I think it's bull crap
Speaker 3: there in LA. But whatever, the Chargers are in LA,
Speaker 3: and so that was their NFL team. They've had two
Speaker 3: different basketball teams that have left. Although I guess there
Speaker 3: is a G League team in Ocean Side, right they.
Speaker 3: I guess they moved. They called the San Diego Clippers.
Speaker 5: I think they're still an Ocean Side I don't even know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Clippers G League team is so you might
Speaker 4: as well be a WNBA team.
Speaker 3: But yeah, not with Caitlyn Clark. But so you're getting
Speaker 3: a lot of dirty looks. People wanted to fight you, And.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a decision to make. Yeah, will I
Speaker 4: go full throttle this weekend? My friends at San Diego Zoo, Mary,
Speaker 4: I love her. I love all the people there. They're
Speaker 4: my homies. But am I gonna not wear my Dodgers
Speaker 4: jersey or hat for another day here to avoid all
Speaker 4: the dirty looks inside Safari Park.
Speaker 3: So I believe that the zoo is like a safe
Speaker 3: space because most people that go to the San Diego
Speaker 3: Zoo don't live in San Diego. Right there, because if
Speaker 3: you live there, you can go there whenever you want,
Speaker 3: You're not going to go there on a holiday weekend,
Speaker 3: so I think you should be fine.
Speaker 5: There were some locals though.
Speaker 4: The last time I went to the San Diego Zoo
Speaker 4: last year, I saw some padres gear. There were some
Speaker 4: locals walking around the zoo.
Speaker 3: Okay, Because I would think, if you live there, you
Speaker 3: just like those of us live in near Disneyland, you
Speaker 3: don't have to go when it's a holiday weekend because
Speaker 3: you go when it's not that busy. I would think
Speaker 3: the same thing the San Diego Zoo, which is great.
Speaker 3: With San Diego Zoo, it's so freaking biggest, the greatest
Speaker 3: zoo I've ever been to. Have you ever been to
Speaker 3: a better zoo than the San Diego Zoo. I don't
Speaker 3: think there's a better zoo.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: And that was one thing my mom was really obsessed
Speaker 4: with when we were little kids. She would take us
Speaker 4: to three zoos regularly here in California. She would take
Speaker 4: us to the San Francisco Zoo, she would take us
Speaker 4: to the Fresno Zoo, and she would take us to
Speaker 4: San Diego Zoo. And the San Diego Zoo was better
Speaker 4: than all the others put together. Every time we got
Speaker 4: near San Diego. She would get so excited when we
Speaker 4: got past the two boobs from Naked Gun. Yes, right,
Speaker 4: and we got like right before ocean side. I remember
Speaker 4: how thrilled she would be that we were about to
Speaker 4: enter the San Diego area.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the San Diego Zoo is an amazing place if
Speaker 3: you've never never been there.
Speaker 1: I've been to the I've been to a bunch of zoos.
Speaker 3: I've even hed to the literal the Bronx ou famously
Speaker 3: not the Yankee Stadium with the actual Bronx woo and
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 1: And yeah, the San Diego Zoo's just next next level.
Speaker 5: The whole thing is.
Speaker 4: I can't wait because at the Safari Park, I hear
Speaker 4: that it's the only place you can see flatypuses in
Speaker 4: captivity besides Australia right.
Speaker 1: Now, Oh is that right? That's cool?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so I'm looking forward to having CoA freak
Speaker 4: out when he sees rhinos.
Speaker 5: And he's big into elephants.
Speaker 4: Right now, He's got a stuffed elephant that he carries
Speaker 4: around and he does the trunk with his arm and
Speaker 4: makes elephant sounds cool.
Speaker 5: He's gonna he's gonna have a ball, is he?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 3: He over the dinosaur phase or is he not gotten
Speaker 3: into the dinosaur phase yet?
Speaker 4: He just got into the dinosaur phase about two months ago.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a big one too.
Speaker 3: When I was growing up, we used to go to
Speaker 3: San Diego a lot for the zoo, but my parents
Speaker 3: also loved Balboa Park the museums, so they would force
Speaker 3: us to go there. And I remember I used to
Speaker 3: hate it when I was a kid, because what kid
Speaker 3: wants to go to freaking museums?
Speaker 5: Right, terrible?
Speaker 1: But my parents loved it.
Speaker 3: My dad loved the Space Museum, which was really cool.
Speaker 3: And I went in there last time I was in
Speaker 3: San Diego and it looked almost identical.
Speaker 1: To when I was a kid.
Speaker 3: I don't think they'd updated it at all, like the
Speaker 3: same as I remember as a kid.
Speaker 1: I was like exactly the same, and uh, you know, but.
Speaker 3: Obviously, being grown up, I enjoyed it more than when
Speaker 3: I was a kid, and all that I did.
Speaker 1: Want to turn the page though, to cannon balls. Now.
Speaker 3: Some people sitting there in traffic this week on the
Speaker 3: four or five, or the seven to ten or the
Speaker 3: two ten or whatever this week, we're probably wondering in
Speaker 3: La why the radio sounded a little more nocturnal than usual,
Speaker 3: and you can thank the Magic Hour seriously. So I
Speaker 3: would like to thank Magic Johnson because Danny Rodney Pete
Speaker 3: decided that talking about the Dodger bullpen or Dodger injuries
Speaker 3: for the four hundred time this summer was not quite
Speaker 3: to his liking and was not quite as important as
Speaker 3: sipping champagne with Magic Johnson on a hundred million dollar
Speaker 3: yacht somewhere off a Maulfy coast.
Speaker 1: Possibly. I don't know where they were, but.
Speaker 3: According to the paparazzi you see this on a TMZ
Speaker 3: had some photos some of the tabloid websites, the Magic
Speaker 3: Johnson Mega yacht, which I guess he rents this every summer.
Speaker 3: This was not he owns it, but this vessel. It
Speaker 3: was so opulent. You know who Larry Ellison is. That's
Speaker 3: super rich, dude. It looks like a dinghy that Larry
Speaker 3: Ellison would own. And Marina, yeah, it's this yacht. And
Speaker 3: so Rodney Pete went off to Europe and we don't
Speaker 3: know where exactly where he was, you know, Capri, Monaco,
Speaker 3: wherever wherever rich people go, which I think is all
Speaker 3: over Europe, and you know they try to go places
Speaker 3: they can tan without sweating, And so Rodney Pete skid
Speaker 3: daddle off to Europe, possibly wearing linen pants, I would.
Speaker 5: Think, right with his movie star wife.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And while Rodney was out there doing god knows what
Speaker 3: with magic what do you think eating sea bass? There
Speaker 3: playing back game and reminiscing about the good old days
Speaker 3: of the Showtime Lakers in the eighties and when he
Speaker 3: was playing quarterback at SC against Troy Aikman and all that.
Speaker 1: So who steps in? Who answers the bell?
Speaker 3: Danny g who's the guy that says, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'll do two bonus shows back to back with Fred Rogan? Oh, yes,
Speaker 3: that's right, I did so the the I don't know,
Speaker 3: some some guy, some guys, the Sultan of sleep deprivation
Speaker 3: who I normally show up at these places when everyone's, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, the rest of the station's asleep, but grudgingly
Speaker 3: was you know. I did the daytime the daylight duty
Speaker 3: twice this week. Now, this seems to be a tradition
Speaker 3: early July. I've done this the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: But doing radio during the day in early July on
Speaker 3: you know, the Dodger stations Basically, it's the radio equivalent
Speaker 3: of being asked to host the Oscars while the Super
Speaker 3: Bowls going on somewhere, because you know, Rodney's out there,
Speaker 3: He's doing the cannonballs off.
Speaker 1: Magic's yacht and all that.
Speaker 3: So I came out of the bullpen and I was forced,
Speaker 3: standing against my will at Mike Point to break down
Speaker 3: the Lakers every day. My god, Fred loves talking about
Speaker 3: freaking Lakers, and you know, I'm doing a PowerPoint presentation
Speaker 3: of why the Lakers suck?
Speaker 4: And but who was worse? Ben, who was worse out
Speaker 4: of the bullpen? You or Noah Davis? For the Oh
Speaker 4: my god?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, yeah, I didn't see the dodgery
Speaker 3: GM last night. But mister irrigation, I've in the terrible
Speaker 3: and all you other a holes from Houston. I get it.
Speaker 3: You're excited. And guess what the a holes could have won?
Speaker 1: Dan, I think you'd agree with me on what I'm
Speaker 1: about to say.
Speaker 3: The Astros could have won by seventy seven runs and
Speaker 3: it would not have changed the fact they're dirty, rotten cheaters.
Speaker 1: Okay, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: It's not like that's cologne and that erases what they
Speaker 3: did in twenty seventeen, and I don't care if Altube
Speaker 3: is the only guy left. I don't give a rats ass.
Speaker 3: It's all dirty, all dirty, that's it.
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's safe to say that
Speaker 4: the entire Dodgers organization, besides the pyro tech at the stadium,
Speaker 4: took the day and the night off.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: It We're talking in the car yesterday about it, me
Speaker 4: and Brenda. We were like, man, imagine being there and
Speaker 4: you got sit through that to get to the fireworks
Speaker 4: show after the game.
Speaker 1: How about home off? You can't leave, so you can't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't be like at home.
Speaker 4: Like my older brother in our Dodger chat, he said
Speaker 4: last night, this is one of those games I turn off.
Speaker 5: Never came back to it.
Speaker 4: Well, you can't do that at the stadium, your you
Speaker 4: paid four year Fourth of July celebration right there. You
Speaker 4: have to wait through it for the damn fireworks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it was. I mean I didn't watch it.
Speaker 1: I saw the score.
Speaker 3: My friend, the great Art Martinez Ardie, who's a legend
Speaker 3: that used to work at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: He was texting me getting.
Speaker 3: Upset, and my main problem with these blowouts and the
Speaker 3: Dodgers had a fair amount either they win by a
Speaker 3: lot of these by a lot. But Dave Roberts gets
Speaker 3: a chubby because he can bring in a position player,
Speaker 3: and he did last night. I was surprised Key k
Speaker 3: Hernandez did not pitch, but they did bring in a
Speaker 3: position player and Dave Robert they should change the rule
Speaker 3: and not allow position players to pitch, and then they
Speaker 3: can call it the Dave Roberts rule because.
Speaker 1: It's so stupid. I mean, I'm dope. You're a five
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar team and you're trotting on a position player.
Speaker 5: Who was it? I didn't get to see that.
Speaker 1: Oh the what's his name? The shortstop came in?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Rojas pitched okay at the end of the day, at
Speaker 1: the end of the game. But as far as the.
Speaker 5: It's usually keithk a Or or Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 3: But just to get back to finish up on the
Speaker 3: Rodney pet thing, I just want to clarify. So I
Speaker 3: get that. If if I was friends with Magic Johnson,
Speaker 3: Danny and Magic Johnson called me and said, hey, pack
Speaker 3: your bags, we're going to uh, you know, somewhere in Europe.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say no.
Speaker 3: Right, you say, how many pairs of boat shoes should
Speaker 3: I bring, you know, and all that stuff. And so
Speaker 3: it is odd when I do those daytime shows and
Speaker 3: I have another one coming up next week, because it's
Speaker 3: it's not the normal time slot, it's not the usual
Speaker 3: audience I'm used to at night, and a lot of
Speaker 3: the guys come over, and I felt bad for for
Speaker 3: Fred Rogue, right, It felt bad for Fred rog because
Speaker 3: for the uninitiated who are not from LA and we're
Speaker 3: both LA guys, like Fred's the Dean of LA Sports.
Speaker 3: He's been on television since the days before the internet.
Speaker 3: You know, Fred was just trying to keep the Mallard
Speaker 3: militia at Bay there.
Speaker 5: And he was on TV when I was in diapers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Fred's been around doing TV forever, like
Speaker 3: that's why they call him the dean. And pairing Fred
Speaker 3: with me is like putting a jazz pianist with a
Speaker 3: punk drummer, you know, side by side. It was chaotic
Speaker 3: and it was fun and all that stuff, and it
Speaker 3: was again all because Magic Johnson decided to play King
Speaker 3: Neptune there for the week and and Fred was probably wondering,
Speaker 3: like where did things go wrong? How did he go
Speaker 3: from beloved star of NBC Sports doing the Olympics and
Speaker 3: all that Rogan's heroes. He was a guest back in
Speaker 3: the day on The Tonight Show and everyone watched that
Speaker 3: show was the most important show in America with Johnny
Speaker 3: Carson and Jay Lennon of those guys, and he would
Speaker 3: be on there as a guest if the guest would cancel.
Speaker 3: Day at a Burbank, If the guests would cancel, they
Speaker 3: need someone to fill in the last minute. They hey, Fred,
Speaker 3: you got to go over and do a segment. And
Speaker 3: so we go over there and now here he is
Speaker 3: when I fill in, and he's he's sparring. He's got
Speaker 3: social media commentary from Terry in England, Alfie Alien, Opiner,
Speaker 3: ferg Dog, Parido, nature Boy, all these legends in the
Speaker 3: mal or militia who are doing the day night doubleheader
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. So I am on standby waiting
Speaker 3: for when the magic Johnson yacht sell, you know, set
Speaker 3: sail next. I guess he's going to be away for
Speaker 3: another another week or so, but I'll do some at
Speaker 3: least one more fill in next week, I think.
Speaker 1: On on Thursday. On Thursday, so when.
Speaker 3: The lights when the light is up, when the sun
Speaker 3: is up, and when I sit in there the Mallard
Speaker 3: militia and we raise all boats, Danny, we raised all boats.
Speaker 1: We raise all talk shows. Yes, we raised all all
Speaker 1: the talk shows and all that.
Speaker 3: And before anyone says an email, so, well, you didn't
Speaker 3: really get into what you did, Danny went to the
Speaker 3: firework show. I really didn't do much of anything on
Speaker 3: the other than watch the Fourth of July fireworks with
Speaker 3: Joey Chestnut and all that, or the food fireworks, like
Speaker 3: we were planning on doing some and stuff. But it
Speaker 3: was pretty much a recovery day because I had the
Speaker 3: day night doubleheaders. Then I had well, actually it was
Speaker 3: a triple header on Friday because I did the We
Speaker 3: did the midday show over on A five seventy in LA,
Speaker 3: did the overnight show, and then I had to do
Speaker 3: the podcast, the Friday Podcast, which good reviews. By the way,
Speaker 3: Danny JT. The Wingman said, instant classic, as I gave
Speaker 3: a bonus Mallar monologue of all hell breaking. I still
Speaker 3: don't know how I got blamed for Mike the Leprechaun
Speaker 3: showing up when I told him not to show. I
Speaker 3: didn't tell him to show up day and somehow I
Speaker 3: got dragged into that like it was somehow, and I
Speaker 3: advised them, yeah, go harass the people during the day.
Speaker 1: I still don't.
Speaker 3: Understand how that all all went down, but he was.
Speaker 3: He was fine, and so many of you. If you
Speaker 3: missed that, that's on the Friday pod there, the Not
Speaker 3: So Lucky Charms edition of the podcast. All right, we'll
Speaker 3: get out on that, Danny, anything else you got, I mean,
Speaker 3: you're gonna wear your Dodger gear to the zoo.
Speaker 1: We have to bag tomorrow, so we get that to
Speaker 1: look forward to.
Speaker 5: So be a lot of fun. And then next weekend I'll.
Speaker 4: Tell you the story about why we had a trip
Speaker 4: to San Diego, because this wasn't planned. It was to
Speaker 4: come here to make a purchase, not for me, unfortunately
Speaker 4: for it somebody else in the family. There were a
Speaker 4: couple of funny things that happened along the way, but
Speaker 4: we'll save that for next weekend. And the fireworks still
Speaker 4: going off here in the San Diego region, and I
Speaker 4: just saw one of the National Guard people run out
Speaker 4: the back because they must have got a call because
Speaker 4: they're loading up one of the trucks this morning oh boy,
Speaker 4: all right, like, yeah, how many hours ban do people
Speaker 4: set fireworks off here?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, hey, this is the weekend to do it.
Speaker 3: Man during the day normally not that effective, not that.

Speaker 4: fireworks since the Dodgers won the World Series.

Speaker 4: I was living in Burbank at the time, and I
Speaker 4: was up all night with sonic booms.
Speaker 1: It was the craziest i've It'll never be like that again.
Speaker 3: I would think in my life that night, the fourth
Speaker 3: of July that because everyone had been capped up and craziness.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 3: Have a great rest of your Saturday, or if you're
