Yeah, Whenever I think 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.000 of Mail, I of this annoying lady who lives a 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.959 few condos down. Whenever the male guy or a UPS 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.160 truck shows up, or the Amazon truck, she waddles outside 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.119 and talks the guy's air off because she needs company 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.759 and the guy is stuck out there for a long time. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.720 Feels so sorry for them. Ben. And sometimes I take 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.560 the trash out and it's one of those awkward things 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.400 where you gotta just kind of turn around and walk away. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.800 And say your final words as your back is turned, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.120 is that our future when we get old, that will 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.679 just be so in need of human contact that the 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.880 male person. My dad was the same way, Like he 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.959 knew exactly when the mail was going to show up, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.720 and if the male person was there a few minutes late, 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.280 oh my god, this was such a big deal. Like 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.080 he could not and he could not understand why they 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.520 would be late. And and he also loved to talk 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:59.360 to the checker at the grocery store. Oh yeah, classic, yeah, 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.440 that's like I classic old guy move. My dad. My 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.640 dad was really good at being an old guy. And 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.400 he he also loved the waitresses and or the way, 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.679 you know, the waiter, whoever is waiting on you at day, 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.000 give them a hard time. I wanted to know all 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.280 about him, give him a hard time, and then decide 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.880 whether or not to leave them. Hey, that's a big thing, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:24.800 you know, service here, and you want to senior discount 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.200 and all that.

Or wait 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.360 until Monday or Tuesday. In fact, this week, I believe 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.200 on Monday we will be posting questions, so try to 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.680 get your questions in earlier. This week. There's some scheduling 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.880 issues that we have, so the way we can get 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.240 into the podcast studio and record the podcast canna be 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.960 a little different, so we need to make sure we 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.040 have everything lined up. So but that's just this week. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.840 But Monday Facebook page Ben Mallor Show. First question comes 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.120 from Nick in Wisconsin. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.040 g I'm sorry to inform you, but the podcast numbers 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.600 for the radio show are going to go down by 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.520 what and I am leaving a job that I get 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.680 to listen live for about two hours to an overnight 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:12.440 job to listen live for all four hours. That's from Nick. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.960 He says, it's been a while since I've worked overnights. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.080 What are some sleeping tips that you and Danny g 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.440 have for sleeping during the day. Thank you in advance. Well, Nick, 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.920 before we get to the sleep advice, just because you're 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.520 alive radio listener, does not mean you cannot still download 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.720 the podcast. Okay, I am not Danny. Are we gonna 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.839 stop someone from downloading a podcast? Is there a rule 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.760 that says if you listen live, you can't download the podcast? 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.640 I say no. In fact, it's even better the second time. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.680 It's like left over something not only pizza. Think of 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:53.000 it like pizza, Like that's the only left over I 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.880 really pizza. At the very least, he can download the 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.080 Fifth Hour podcast because these shows aren't live exactly, and 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.520 you can't listen to this on any radio station anywhere, 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:10.279 only alive in this ecosystem, I'm actually on the live 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:15.559 are so your live show live? And then the Fifth 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.400 Hour podcast downloaded? And you have to subscribe to the 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.960 Fifth Hour because you never know there might be some 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.880 pop up episodes. Maybe Danny will feel like he wants 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.360 to do his own episode one time, or I'll do something. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.479 You never know. You never know what's going on with that. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.360 I wanted to ask you. I should have asked you 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.599 this off the podcast, but I am fascinated. I can't wait. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.640 I hope you get this animal podcast thing going. I 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.200 think that would be wonderful. I would want to hear that. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.479 We gotta get that going. Yeah, the Animal Thunderdome. The 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.680 last I heard, they were securing some things behind the 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.960 scenes and working on artwork and stuff like that. All 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.000 the behind the scenes work that needs to be done 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:01.280 before you launch a podcast is being worked on. WHOA alright, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.320 I like it. I like it. Next up on the 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:09.360 mail bag, These are again actual letters from actual listeners 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:15.880 to the podcast, like oh, that's right, that's right before 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.680 we move on. So for me and I don't sleep well. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.400 Next you're probably you don't want to hear what I 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.039 have to say. I'm a terrible sleeper, but what I 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.400 have learned over the years, you need a lot of 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.960 I like a fan going. I like having some some 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.320 white noise in the background. That's racist. I know, play 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.240 the racist, but I like I like having noise in 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:45.880 the background. I also blackout curtains, the thickest blackout curtains 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.320 you can get. Walmart actually had some good ones. I 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.559 don't know if they still do, but I'm talking about 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:57.640 double layer blackout curtains. Yes and uh. And then also 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.600 in addition to that, I even go as far as 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.039 to where it's sleep mask. I have one ear plug. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.800 I have a bad ear so I can't put an 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.159 ear plug in that. So my one good year I 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.120 put the ear plug in. So I go to extreme measures. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.120 You could wear a mask. I feel like that is 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.360 very confining. And do you don't feel claustrophobic with a 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.440 mask on your face? No, it's a soft, padded mask, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.240 So I don't. I don't. It doesn't really bother me 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.280 that much. Um, but I'd rather have that. I can't 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.160 stand getting that light in your eyes and when you 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.679 wake up, the first thing you see is the black mask. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.520 That doesn't freak you out. I'm used to it, but 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.000 if it's not for you, you don't have to do it. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.840 But I I would buy. I find a room that 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.080 only has one window, if possible, and I would buy. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:53.120 You can get those curtain rods that are double double crepit. Yeah, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.240 I'd put blackout curtains on both, and that's what I 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.320 would do. What about you, Danny, any tips? Yeah, blackout curtains, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.720 as you said, are a must. The noise is important 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.520 because there's people outside. They don't give a shit that 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.840 you're trying to sleep. They're slamming doors, they're screaming their 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.560 mowing lawns. They have weed whackers in both hands. I 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.360 would turn a TV on, I would turn rain noise on, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.200 turn on a voice that's soothing to you. That's one 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.160 thing that would always help me. Boy, we talked about 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.000 it for days now about how soothing Vince Scully's voice was. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:36.200 Who's the famous chef ben who unfortunately killed himself. Yes, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.320 I loved his voice. I would actually play reruns of 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.640 his show, his travels show, So that was one thing 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.760 that helped me sleep in the daytime. I would find 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:51.000 a really soothing voice to have on in the background. Yeah, 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:55.880 Anthony Borden was very good at television and he left 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.920 a lot of quotes behind and that was a shocker 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.920 when yeah, really was. I watched that documentary. Have you 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.600 seen the documentary they made where they it was really 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.600 well made. I think it was on Netflix. It was 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.120 on HBO. I forget which one. They're all the same 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.200 to me. But it was an Anthony Boordain documentary and 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.439 they had a computer recreated voice, so part of it 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.320 was actually it sounded just like him. It was wild. No, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.640 I haven't got to see that yet. It was really 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.760 well done. They did a good job. And one of 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.800 his quotes, your body is not a temple at an 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.880 amusement park, and enjoy the ride. Apparently the the ride 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:40.080 went off the tracks there unfortunately at the end. Uh, 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:46.480 let's see here come back. It's sim call Boss Fan 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.680 Jimmy from Big Orange Country rights in for both you guys. Ben. 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.280 Have you had any more gallbladder attacks or close calls? 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.920 Danny G. What do you think about all the drill 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.920 rapping personally? Uh? I hate it. Bring back the nineties 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.960 with dr dre that's from Walls Fan Jimmy. So I 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.760 can't have any gall bladder attacks because I don't have 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.480 my gall bladder. They chopped it out of me several 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.120 years back, and so I don't have to worry about that. 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.440 But I do have the effects of not having a 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:20.080 gall bladder, which are very marginal, very marginal. I'm pretty 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.120 used to it right now, and then you don't need 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.680 the gall bladder, um and so, so yeah, I really 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.240 have any issues. I know you're you're hoping for a 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.720 nice poop story cooped in a bathroom. I don't have 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.400 one of those right now, but you never know, could 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.480 could happen at any moment. Danny, your thoughts on the 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:45.720 rap community as it stands here in One generation is 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.280 always going to think that the next generation is not 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.839 as good as their's when it comes to music. I 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.520 don't want to sound like that guy, get off my lawn, 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.680 but there is something to say about eighties nineties music 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:03.679 and movies and how much time and effort and perfection 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.280 was put into those projects, whereas recently a lot of 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.319 musical and movie productions. I guess you could say we're 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.960 shipped out really fast, and you could tell on some 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.240 of the projects. Now, you do find some really good 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.240 rappers of this generation, like Kendrick Lamar and j Cole 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.320 and guys like that that still have beauty and the 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.320 lyrics and their production. Um. So I would just lean 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.960 on those guys, because yeah, there's a lot of mumble 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.679 mouth rappers. They sound like they got marbles or rocks 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.120 in their mouth, and the lyrics suck. They're not rapping 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.240 about anything that's noteworthy. So I get what he's saying. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.200 But at the same time, I guess you've got to 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.840 find the standout guys that are out right now. We're 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.240 also not in the demo per se, right, I mean, 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.240 isn't that part of the problem. It's crazy to me 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.400 that all of this stuff, which I think, I'm kind 0:11:58.400 --> 0:11:59.640 of there with you. I think a lot of this 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.240 is crap app But twenty five years from now, this 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.640 will be what people look back on and say this 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.400 was the good stuff. But you know, it was only 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.720 a few years ago, Ben that I still was having 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.840 my turntables on in a club. There were a lot 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.800 of youngsters that also thought the dr DRE music was 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.160 better than some of this crap that's out right now. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.520 It's one of the reasons why vinyl has made such 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:30.880 a huge comeback, because vintage records and vintage artists are 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.480 being appreciated more and more. So, Yeah, you're right about that. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.960 We're maybe we're not the demo, But at the same time, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.120 there's even some younger people that are looking back at 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.600 the music like damn, how come we can't make some 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.840 classics like that right now? It's like when we were kids, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.400 we listened to music from the fifties unless we didn't, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:53.800 unless we did not. It's funny, though, what what was oldies? 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.320 When we were kids? An oldie station played like you know, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.480 Elvis and like oldies music. Zach Ban on k Earth 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:08.920 one oh one they play sugar Hill Gang Ye old. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.760 They play rappers delight on an oldies station. Pretty wild, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.520 He's really wild. If you want to feel old or 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.520 you want to have a mind trip, think about that. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.600 A rap song is now on an oldie station. But 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.480 at the same time, that is forty year old music. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.600 So that's crazy to think that that's fourty year old music. 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.240 But holy crap, where did it all go? Danny? Where 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:42.679 has it all gone? I can't believe it. Man. That's 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.560 that's great, all right? Kevin in Kansas right soon, says 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.120 dear Ben and Danny ge With the passing of Vince Gully, 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.240 I think about the other great voices of sports. I 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.520 have memories of Kurt Goudy, Merlin Olson, dick Enberg. I 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.680 know you don't do Mount Rushmore's, but who are some 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.839 of your favorite voices from radio and television. Uh yeah, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.600 we'll engage Kevin whye out. It's the podcast What the hell? 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.520 Anything that brings you back to your youth. That's always 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.440 I always go by that, like, there's only a few 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.160 guys left Brett Musburger, who retired, who turned down our 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:23.040 podcast unfortunately, but Musburger. I watched a Musburger game and 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.160 I had flashed back to when I was ten years old. 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.720 The only guy left for me is al Michaels. I 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.880 watch al Michael's call a football game, and I flashed 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.720 back to when I was a kid. So that's a 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.480 great thing. I don't think there's anyone else. Joe Buck. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.480 I was an adult when Joe Buck started. I remember 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.040 Joe Buck's dad because I'm old Buck. We had a 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.840 good and I chanced to talk to Joe Jack Buck 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.160 in in spring training years a going Florida. But um, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.200 anybody for you, Danny that pops out there that he's like, Oh, 0:14:55.240 --> 0:15:00.320 that's that's classic Dick Edinburgh's voice. That's a plump pussy right. Yeah. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.600 To me, that was football like any drive, any game. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.880 He made it sound exciting. I think about him. Was 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.000 it him and Dan fouts together. Yeah, they worked. Remember 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.320 Charlie Jones great voice. Great was some other old like 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:23.560 nineteen eighties NFL broadcastes. Was it, uh Crumpy or Trum 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.480 What was the guy's name? Yes, yeah, yeah, I know 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.840 who you're talking about. He was great, um Merlin Olson. 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.960 I really liked watching him as a kid. Hanks Ram 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.880 is another one, Hankstram, Hanksram. Yeah, there's some good voices man. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.080 For baseball, there was only two as a kid, and 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.520 that was Vince Scully. And then when I would be 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.080 in the Bay with family up north, it was Bill King, 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.479 the late great Bill King. He called basketball, he called baseball, 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:57.000 he called football. That dude was a baller. I had 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.960 a chance to meet Bill King, and I did. I Actually, 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.920 when I was a stringer in the in the nineties, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.000 I was starting out, I took any gig I could get, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.600 and I had this gig with the Oakland Athletics. They 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.280 did something called it was the Coca Cola road Report, 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.200 and they'd go to a reporter at a different game 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.160 and and I'd give the report and they in on 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.560 the a's broadcast. I would like, let's go to Anaheim 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.280 and get an update on the Angel game or whatever. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.960 So I do the I do the update, and then 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.440 when the A's would come to the Big A, I 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.040 would do stats for the radio team, you know, hang 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.920 out with the guys. And Bill King was still doing 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.800 the games at that time the A's actually this was 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:48.080 after they had their great run with LaRussa uh Fosse 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.480 was doing TV. Was Bill King and kN Korak, who 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.280 had just started. He's still doing the A's. Ken Corak 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.880 a great guy, very nice man. He had done minor 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.720 league baseball in Vegas and some other places, and um 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.120 just tremendously nice. But Bill King was doing the play 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.880 by play. It was a very hot day in Anaheim. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.359 It was like near the end of the year. It 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.240 was probably around actually was probably around this time, was 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.800 like late August, early September. A sucked, the Angels sucked. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.400 I'm doing stats. It's a day game in Anaheim. I'm 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.919 sitting now. Bill King's in the front row, the broadcasters 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.399 in the front row. I'm in the bat I'm in 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.760 the second row. And it gets to be like the 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:30.399 third inning and Bill King gets up. He walks behind 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.320 where I'm standing and proceeds to take his pants off 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.600 and and then he he walks back to the broadcast 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.920 chair wearing boxers. Yeah, yeah, he had like briefs on 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:52.120 whatever that's uncomfortable. Yeah, old guy and breeze and Ken 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.440 Korak told me, he said, don't worry, this is just Bill. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.119 This is what Bill does. You know. I guess he 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.240 lived on a boat or something in the Bay Area 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.359 and he took his freaking clothes off and sat there 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.840 in the press box called the game and his underwear 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.320 because it was too hot for him. But very nice man, 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.960 very nice man, Bill King. And he had the great 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.520 the Holy Roller, Right. Wasn't that his his call with 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.520 the Raiders? He had a bunch of famous calls with Oakland? 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.600 Didn't he do all? Did he do the Warriors too? 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.920 I think? And a lot of people to this day 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.520 will tell you that he was best at basketball play 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.280 by play, which is mind blowing because that's not what 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.359 he was known for. Yeah, I didn't hear him do 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.399 the NBA. I didn't I heard him do baseball. Obviously 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.680 in football because the Raider games were broadcast. The Warriors 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.160 stunk back when he was doing the play by play 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.320 for them, So maybe that's why he didn't get a 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.120 lot of attention while he was doing that. But yeah, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.480 a lot of people say that he was most gifted 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.720 at calling basketball games. Yeah I got I kept pretty lucky. 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:57.399 I got to meet a lot of the guys I 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.760 really wanted to meet when I was a kid I 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.080 look up to, like Harry Callis, who was the voice 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.119 of NFL Films and the Phillies. I met him at 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.360 Dodger Stadium. I got to ride in an elevator with 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.560 Harry Carey, of all people. I'll never forget this to 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.680 my last breath on this earth. It was in the 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.119 elevator Dodger Stadium. I got there. Harry showed up at 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.040 the same time. He didn't drive. He was near the 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.280 end of his career, you know, the end of his 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.000 life actually, and he had a driver he lived in 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.159 when the Cubs. He didn't travel with the Cubs on 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.000 the road at that point, but he came to l 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.760 A because he had a place in Palm Springs, and 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.320 so he would he would do the Dodger Cub games 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:43.040 and getting the elevator and it's me Harry his driver, 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.400 and they had and they still have this at Dodgers Daum. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:52.159 The elevator operates and they had this cute uh latina 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:57.320 elevator operator and Harry starts like flirting with him in 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.920 the I'm like, I'm having this surreal moment with Dani. 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.840 Like Harry Carey is probably close to eighty at this point. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:08.560 He's in an elevator and he's like, hello, y'all Whitey. 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:13.840 It was the funniest thing. It was about Harry carry 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.359 getting his mac on. Yeah, we'll try and trying, And 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:22.160 then I I also, uh, was it all the Ernie Harwell? 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.199 I met Ernie Harwell at one point. That was a 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.720 cool one. I feel like paddle Brian, I'm just dropping him. 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.840 These are people that were legends and broadcasting. Ernie Harwell 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:35.119 called the Tiger Games for a gazillion years. And you 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.359 gave me a good idea. You mentioned uh Musburger. I'm 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.919 gonna text him again because when he was in the 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:45.040 middle of the Raiders playoff run last season, he big 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.080 time does But now he's probably got some free time 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.600 on his hands. Yeah, I'm sure that one thing that 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.680 Brent Musburger wants to do in retirement is talk to us, right, Yeah, 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.959 that's that's the one thing that he wants to do. Alright. 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:03.960 Moving on, with the mail bag. I know, I come back. 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.360 It's sign from now call al Rights and he says, hey, 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.600 who sings the you wanna Golden Ticket jingle? He says, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.320 is it Eddie? No, it's not Eddie. Oh my gosh, 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.840 come on, come on. It's a classic movie. Man. We 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.639 even have to answer that the Willie Wanka chocolate factory, 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:29.040 google the original Willy Wonka piece. Jean, I was gonna say, 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:35.760 Geene Simmons, definitely not Jean Simmons. Jean Gene Walderan Wilder. Yeah, 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.240 how soon we forget Tom Looney reported his death prematurely. 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.040 That's right. I remember that. It's very embarrassing. I was 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:48.480 loving with Looney and Looney somehow before he had died, 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:54.359 he wasn't dead. Wow, you get nothing. Gave the performance 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:58.600 of his life in that movie. He's so sarcastic and 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.720 does everything with this is straight face, Like when the 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.760 little kid falls into the Chocolate river and he says, hell, 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:11.600 somebody call the police. Was that an eighties movie? That 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:18.000 had to be eighties? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, interesting all right? 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.359 Next up from Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia. He says, 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.280 for both you guys, I asked about the move to 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.159 Burbank many months back. In the beginning, I thought the 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:31.120 move was taking place around this time. Now I'm hearing 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.399 the process has been slowed. So either one of you 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.800 know why it's taking longer and is there a new 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.720 target time for the big move? Why is this person 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.040 going to bring us a basket? I like that Jason 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:45.480 is very concerned about our move to the new studios 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.159 because they've decided not to repair the old studios. So Jason, 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.440 I don't know when we're moving. I was in Burbank. 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.000 I had some meetings with some people in Burbank a 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.800 couple of weeks ago, and I was given a tour 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.560 of where the Fox Worts radio studios are going to be. 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:07.639 And let's just say it ain't happen anytime soon. How 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.359 about that. Let's let's say there's a lot of stuff 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.639 that needs to happen before those things are done. Just 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.240 blame it on all the wiring that needs to be done, 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:19.360 miles and miles of wires and really quick. By the way, 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:22.119 Ben Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You and I 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.919 saw it in the eighties, but it came out in 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:29.080 nineteen seventy one. Oh wow, is that all right? Yeah? 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.000 I saw it in the eighties. I thought, yeah, you 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:35.000 and I saw it as a VHS rental tape from 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:41.280 a video store. Wild alright. So yeah, just we there's wiring. 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.840 They're gonna they have to move the local l a 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:49.840 cluster of radio stations. They're they're moving those stations around, 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.720 So you have to move all of that wiring. Then 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:57.359 you have to add new wiring or not just Fox 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.879 Sports Radio, but the premier network shows which include Coast 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:03.600 to Coast with George Nori and all the other Premier 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:10.159 properties and the Knock Yeah, and Master Control operations and 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.960 all that networate Network Operations Center. So it's a big 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:17.359 pain in the behind. Let's see here. Mark writes in 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:22.200
