Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. It's a
Speaker 1: clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special. The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the
Speaker 1: air everywhere, back at it. A brand new weekend is
Speaker 1: kicking off. It is the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller
Speaker 1: and Danny g Radio. We thank you for subscribing downloading
Speaker 1: the podcast Tell a Friend, Tell a Friend, available on
Speaker 1: demand the iHeartRadio app worldwide. Wherever you get your podcast,
Speaker 1: you can listen to the show. And Danny, we are
Speaker 1: now into a brand new month. It's April fools Day,
Speaker 1: perfect day today. We're not to April yet. We're very
Speaker 1: close to it, though, no, because I on one side
Speaker 1: in the studio, I have the radio equipment and then
Speaker 1: I have the podcast stuff over here, but they're both
Speaker 1: microphones and I just start yapping and anyway, all right, well, well, nonetheless,
Speaker 1: even though it is not April first, that was my
Speaker 1: early April Fool Show. I, of course, Danny, as you know,
Speaker 1: never make a mistake. Everything is done intentionally wrong. Professional
Speaker 1: broadcasting at its finest. That's how we roll. So we
Speaker 1: have the Skipper Ripper on today's podcast, Safari Kingdom with
Speaker 1: a new added feature to Safari Kingdom. And if we
Speaker 1: have time, pop no, no, no, no again. I want
Speaker 1: the record to show. I want the record to show
Speaker 1: there there is nothing this is. This has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Animal thundered, what is going on? Nothing at all.
Speaker 1: This is something totally different and really an added featured,
Speaker 1: a great bonus to the podcast, just amazing. So but
Speaker 1: we'll start with it. So with Major League Baseball beginning.
Speaker 1: It was opening day yesterday. They get that right, Danny, Thursday, Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: where are the applause at? Here we go? How about
Speaker 1: home off? I'll be here for the whole hour, or
Speaker 1: at least part of it. So baseball started. I love baseball.
Speaker 1: I did a couple of rants on the Overnight Show.
Speaker 1: We did a couple of monologues about baseball this week,
Speaker 1: which I loved. I enjoyed that. It was fine, great, wonderful.
Speaker 1: There is no better way, though, to celebrate baseball on
Speaker 1: this podcast than with audio gold and if you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, maybe not, you might not know where
Speaker 1: I'm going with this, but if you've heard me yapping
Speaker 1: and Danny you know about this. We worked together a
Speaker 1: one time. I love the postgame tirade. I love mascots
Speaker 1: and postgame tirades there my favorite. So I would like you,
Speaker 1: the consumer of this audio content, to settle in to
Speaker 1: the spit and Sawdust pub inspired. This was actually inspired
Speaker 1: by something that happened on the overnight show leading into
Speaker 1: Opening Day because we were yapping. I was I was
Speaker 1: giving some thoughts on what I thought was going to
Speaker 1: happen in the baseball season, and if he didn't hear that,
Speaker 1: Roberto randomly played one of the great postgame rants from
Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda, and then that got me going. We played
Speaker 1: a couple other things and that I had this come
Speaker 1: to Jesus moment. I said, wait a minute, like, we
Speaker 1: don't have the time. On the radio show, we don't
Speaker 1: have the time to play all the rants, but on
Speaker 1: the podcast we can't. Now the other thing, Danny is
Speaker 1: you know that I do not do list radio because
Speaker 1: that would be wrong. Never never you like to put
Speaker 1: your lists on top up of Mount Rushmore. I don't
Speaker 1: believe in that it's lazy. I don't float on the
Speaker 1: lazy river. I believe in preparing and showing up and
Speaker 1: putting an honest effort in because you, you, the listener,
Speaker 1: spend time and I want to put my work in.
Speaker 1: So we will not be doing a list, unfortunately you
Speaker 1: call yours Mount Rushmore instead. Oh no, no, we will
Speaker 1: not be doing a Mount Rushmore. Instead, we will have
Speaker 1: Benny's Big Board, which is not a list. It's it's
Speaker 1: something totally different's completely kosher. The Malla Militia love Benny's
Speaker 1: Big Board. The Malla Militia hate list radio. They don't
Speaker 1: like Mount Rushmore, but they love Benny's Big Board. What
Speaker 1: it's an ET sketch. It's it's it's amazing. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what it is. I have somewhere here. I have
Speaker 1: this right it's that right right there. Okay. It's like
Speaker 1: a little dryer race board that probably usually says go
Speaker 1: pick up food. Yeah yeah, something like that. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be the quintessential big board
Speaker 1: starting out twenty twenty three, the greatest manager meltdowns in
Speaker 1: recorded audio history. In my opinion. In my opinion, these
Speaker 1: are my hot takes. These are not your hot takes.
Speaker 1: And you can add to this, Danny, as you're appreciative
Speaker 1: of the rant by managers as well. So settle back,
Speaker 1: get a big bucket of popcorn or whatever you're doing,
Speaker 1: and this is going to be out of this world content.
Speaker 1: It is going to be a toe tapping good time.
Speaker 1: So we start out on Benny's big board. We have
Speaker 1: a six pack. A six pack, and there were so
Speaker 1: many that did not make the cut, that ended up
Speaker 1: on the cutting room floor, but number six, number six.
Speaker 1: We start out in Chicago with the White Sox. Let's
Speaker 1: go back in the hot tub time machine. We're gonna
Speaker 1: set the year to twenty h eight. The Chicago White
Speaker 1: Sox are managed by a fiery guy by the name
Speaker 1: of Ozzie Gien. He had played shortstop in Chicago Mike
Speaker 1: North's best friend. Hey told Stowall, yes, Ozzie believed that
Speaker 1: he was better than all of the media and loved
Speaker 1: to love to screw around with the baseball media and
Speaker 1: Mike North as well. So this is one of many
Speaker 1: rants that we could have used. I would have put
Speaker 1: this higher. Unfortunately, Ozzy Ozzie was ranting and raving. Some
Speaker 1: of it is hard to understand. Some of it is
Speaker 1: not the easiest to understand, but listening closely, this is
Speaker 1: Ozzie Yan. The White Sox were on a six game
Speaker 1: losing streak. Ozzie was very upset with the way the
Speaker 1: media was handling things and the way that the fans
Speaker 1: of Chicago we're handling the White Sox or play. So
Speaker 1: let's go to the audio tape. Here's Ozzy Gian pregame,
Speaker 1: ranting about the media and the fans. Oh right now, everybody, no,
Speaker 1: but everybody in Chicago. It's try making line nose and
Speaker 1: called these guy and called that guy. I mean, we
Speaker 1: got fifty people in rothterday and we can do that.
Speaker 1: I mean that what teach me? If something about Chicago
Speaker 1: fans and Chicago media diff I got pretty quick a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. We wasn't invading the town. Now
Speaker 1: with that's that's that's I don't get it, because maybe
Speaker 1: the minch they can be that way, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, But God, le Jesus, what will it take
Speaker 1: for people real races? Two thousand and seven out of
Speaker 1: the months winning winning, We went a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago and we old because we've been home twenty years.
Speaker 1: They have the best. Okay, we're good everybody. We hold
Speaker 1: you to be all the life, no matter how many
Speaker 1: worsher we win, we hold we have of Chicago. Chicago,
Speaker 1: we got the worser owner. The guy got set rings
Speaker 1: and we are holding the owner. I mean no, he's
Speaker 1: kind of got a guy or something. Talk about it
Speaker 1: for years that you know, it's the way it is.
Speaker 1: It's not the bodies, that what it is. He's like
Speaker 1: you playing New York or you play team with two
Speaker 1: you know, city with two couple of teams. But wow,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I don't know what we
Speaker 1: should do to make people believe or big excited about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You've been a couple of
Speaker 1: years around and you know what I mean. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the say. You know in two thousand
Speaker 1: and say we got a good year two thousand and
Speaker 1: said we got it really really by year and were
Speaker 1: never denyed it. We never did. We never did we
Speaker 1: celebrate how about the cup celebrating boot? How many times
Speaker 1: curse people? Now? I know, I know I don't have
Speaker 1: any I will make a lot of money with my sho.
Speaker 1: That's why I gotta keep going because I know in
Speaker 1: the future, as it would the morning's head here just
Speaker 1: ten years anniversary of my I will call marioity stuff
Speaker 1: and I called what the guys and the things when
Speaker 1: the radio I coached him out last year, Oh my core. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta sell too, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: What sucks. I'm not gonna be up for ten years Bolivia,
Speaker 1: my ships. My conflict is going on. Huh. A lot
Speaker 1: of people to take you. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Hey man, I don't know when people was finding him.
Speaker 1: You know we played the real back we yes, we did.
Speaker 1: We stalk for for a week. Yeah, I mean better
Speaker 1: you know, I I mean, don't too far. Well, I'll go.
Speaker 1: We know it was a surprisal baseball the best thing.
Speaker 1: How don't they go, Wow, look at the white Now
Speaker 1: this on all right there, we go back to back
Speaker 1: to normal. We gotta deal with there's nothing we can
Speaker 1: do about it. The lumber twenty five guys, I believe
Speaker 1: we can do. That's all I care. Everything out He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: that was that was enjoyable and there's a theme to
Speaker 1: this list. There's a lot of a lot of Chicago.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Chicago on this. Ozzy, his most
Speaker 1: famous rant was to a magazine when he got hired
Speaker 1: as the Marlins manager and proceeded to endorse Fidel Castro,
Speaker 1: and that went over very well. We don't have audio
Speaker 1: because there's no audios I know that exists. That by
Speaker 1: Ozzy again. Moving on at number five on Big Ben's
Speaker 1: Big Board, we go to the heartland of Cansas City,
Speaker 1: and this is a classic. I believe this is our
Speaker 1: only rant from the nineteen nineties that made Big Ben's
Speaker 1: Big Board of manager melt sounds. But number five is
Speaker 1: how McCray Now, I'm gonna paint the picture Danny. This
Speaker 1: happened in nineteen ninety three. How McCray is in the
Speaker 1: manager's office. There are the Royals, I believe are on
Speaker 1: the road. He's wearing long John pajamas like like you know,
Speaker 1: like he's ready if you go to bed, and he
Speaker 1: starts getting more and more worked up with the way
Speaker 1: the questions are coming from the Royals beat writers. It
Speaker 1: ends up with him throwing a phone. Now what you
Speaker 1: can't see on this and this is the part we
Speaker 1: have to describe for our blind listeners, especially blind Emmett
Speaker 1: the Seahawk fan and blind Scott. So during this rant,
Speaker 1: all of the reporters that are in the Royals manager's office,
Speaker 1: how McCray, they all leave the office. So what does
Speaker 1: how McCray do. He follows them out into the hallway
Speaker 1: because he's not done with his rant, and he said
Speaker 1: he was sick and tired of the stupid questions. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the audio tape how McCray with a masterpiece
Speaker 1: where all I had to go after him? Was all
Speaker 1: right and I left. So we're swinging a bat bats well,
Speaker 1: so I wanted my left hand hitter as a hit.
Speaker 1: Did you consider Brett for Miller with a basis Leader
Speaker 1: of the Seven? No? No No, I don't ask him all
Speaker 1: these stupid ass questions. No, and in the all God
Speaker 1: ask questions night hit dreadful. No, Miller, Simon, he's banning stuff.
Speaker 1: It just Brant not banging and stuff and it just
Speaker 1: funing back back. No, you're thinking my damn food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his thumbs stupid, Absolutely, that stupid ass. Sh I'm not
Speaker 1: taking you, guys, I'm not taking no sho players. I'm
Speaker 1: sacking time. I'm fan out with everything from you guys
Speaker 1: players and they can do it in thing they want
Speaker 1: to do. I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit.
Speaker 1: Now put that in the fact of the reporters hit
Speaker 1: with some of the shrapnel. Yes, yes, that's a great
Speaker 1: point we should follow up as this is the quintessential
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three manager meltdown rant Benny's Big Board. So
Speaker 1: one of the writers was hit right above the eye,
Speaker 1: and if I remember the story correctly, he actually had
Speaker 1: a pretty serious inch three because when you say throw
Speaker 1: a phone today people think of a cell phone. This
Speaker 1: was one of those big old school landlines they still
Speaker 1: used in the in the early nineteen nineties. So how
Speaker 1: heavy they were, they were like little bricks, not even
Speaker 1: that little. So how mccraig coming in at number five? Now,
Speaker 1: number four is our first surprise on Big Ben's Big Board,
Speaker 1: and we go to Seattle, the Seattle Mariners getting a
Speaker 1: little love on this, and we welcome in John McLaren,
Speaker 1: John McLear, do you even know about this? Rand? I
Speaker 1: think you know about this, right? We played this when
Speaker 1: you were there, right, yeah, yeah, I've played this on
Speaker 1: your live show. Yeah, So I consider this the Swiss
Speaker 1: Army Knife of postgame rants, not just in baseball but
Speaker 1: in any sport. To set this up, John McClaren was
Speaker 1: very unhappy at this. This goes back. I want to
Speaker 1: say this happened in the early twenty tens, like twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. I'm not one hundred percent sure on that.
Speaker 1: We'd have to go back in double check. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter when it happy. It's been over ten years.
Speaker 1: So John McLaren was unhappy that the team was not
Speaker 1: playing well in Seattle. The media was down on the Mariners.
Speaker 1: They were disparaging the team the Ohays even before. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's been fifteen years. I didn't realize it's been
Speaker 1: that long. So this happened and Ozzie Gain both happened
Speaker 1: in oh eight. Who knew so, John John McLaren, the manager,
Speaker 1: was upset and he was trying to defend his team.
Speaker 1: He gave one of the greatest raw Roz speeches of
Speaker 1: all time. Take a listen to the passion from John McLaren.
Speaker 1: We're playing all right every day and got nothing to
Speaker 1: show for it. I'm tired of losing. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get my beating. So guys, we're got to change this
Speaker 1: around and get after it. And only we can do it.
Speaker 1: The fans are pissed off, and I'm pissed off, and
Speaker 1: the players are pissed off. And that's the way it is.
Speaker 1: There's no easy way out here, is clam Field, sorry
Speaker 1: for ourselfs got to buckle it up and get after it.
Speaker 1: Tr Damn losing his every night, and we bust her.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a toe team effort turn this thing around.
Speaker 1: And that's it. The thing about that, Danny hearing it again.
Speaker 1: The reason it's the Swiss army knife is because McLaren
Speaker 1: does not reference the Mariners. He doesn't reference Seattle. He
Speaker 1: doesn't reference any of his players or any coaches, any
Speaker 1: of the other players, any of the other coaches. He
Speaker 1: doesn't name anything. It is so generic. He doesn't mention baseball.
Speaker 1: We have used this as a Swiss army knife anytime
Speaker 1: a team is struggling, like I really want I think that, like,
Speaker 1: let's just pick a team like the Patriots are struggling.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick really let into his team. Here's the sound
Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick complaining about his team. And then and
Speaker 1: there you go. It works for everything. It's a Swiss
Speaker 1: Army knife of rants. So congratulations to John McLaren and
Speaker 1: the Mariners your job. Coming in at number four, number
Speaker 1: three a bit of a surprise. A lot of people
Speaker 1: thought this would be higher, this guy would be higher.
Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda, you got a couple of the best rants
Speaker 1: in the history of Rance. Yeah, Tommy is great. It's
Speaker 1: and I knew Tommy a little bit passed away a
Speaker 1: while back, not that long actually, but he actually makes
Speaker 1: there's a double dose of Lasordi here. There's two of these.
Speaker 1: And the only reason that Tommy's not number one or
Speaker 1: number two is because it's like top forty radio. Danny.
Speaker 1: I've heard these so many times over the years. I'm
Speaker 1: a little I'm a little burned out on him, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like hearing the song featuring Acon.
Speaker 1: It's just they're burned into my head. So the most
Speaker 1: famous Lessorda rant, which is his gold standard, his masterpiece,
Speaker 1: was about Dave Kingman's performance. This comes from nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1: Was May fourteenth, nineteen seventy eight, Dodgers laying the mets
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium and Dave Kingman it now one, not two,
Speaker 1: but three, three home runs, and that led to Paul
Speaker 1: Olden asking the most famous question ever asked to Tommy Lasorda,
Speaker 1: can you give us just a few basic comments about
Speaker 1: the their pianos on the game. Well, naturally, I feel
Speaker 1: bad about losing a ballgame like that. There's no way
Speaker 1: you should lose that ball game, and that just doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. It's your opinion of King's performance? What's my
Speaker 1: opinion of King's performance? What you think? It's my opinion
Speaker 1: of it? I think it was put that in. I
Speaker 1: don't opinion of his performance. He beat us with three
Speaker 1: home runs? What if you mean what is my opinion
Speaker 1: of his performance? How could you ask me a question
Speaker 1: like that? What is my opinion of his of his performance?
Speaker 1: He hit three home runs? I'm stoff to lose the
Speaker 1: game and you ask me my opinion of his performance.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a tough question to ask me, isn't it.
Speaker 1: What is my opinion of his performance? Yes, it is?
Speaker 1: I ask it and you gave me an answer. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't give you a good answer because I'm mad,
Speaker 1: But I mean it wasn't a good question. It's a
Speaker 1: tough question. To ask me right now, what is my
Speaker 1: opinion of it performance? I mean, you want me to
Speaker 1: tell you what my opinion of his performance Isn't they did?
Speaker 1: That's right. Guy hits three home runs against us. That
Speaker 1: is Oh, that's a fucking good time right there. It is.
Speaker 1: And Danny, I'm happy to report that I have met
Speaker 1: the great Paul Olden. He's an LA radio legend and
Speaker 1: he has been the public address announcer. The man that
Speaker 1: asked that question has been the public address announcer for
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees for many years now. He was
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl public address announcer. He's done play by
Speaker 1: play for multiple Major league teams over the years. Paul
Speaker 1: Olden is his name. We have a mutual friend, the
Speaker 1: great Ted Sobel, who used to work at Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio's friends with Paul. Yeah, I know t yeah, So
Speaker 1: they worked together. So I have met Paul Olden and
Speaker 1: he's he went off and had an amazing career which
Speaker 1: is continuing to this day. As his sole job, he
Speaker 1: gets paid a great amount of money to be the
Speaker 1: public address announcer the Yankees. He goes to Florida for
Speaker 1: a month, does spring training, and then he does the
Speaker 1: six months during the baseball season, but only when the
Speaker 1: Yankees are at home. And that's it. That's his gig,
Speaker 1: that's all he does. How great is that? What a life? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's not the main less sort of rant that
Speaker 1: I love. My favorite is this next rant that we're
Speaker 1: going to play on Benny's big board. Tommy Lessorta coming
Speaker 1: in at number three, and that is all about Kurt
Speaker 1: Bavakua of the Padres. So the Kingman rant was from
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. This one's from July nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers had a picture named Tom needonfuer piece
Speaker 1: of crap. Yeah. He's most famous for serving up a
Speaker 1: meatball to Jack Clark and Petro Guerrero slamming his glove
Speaker 1: down on the outfield. Yeah yeah, in the nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: five National League Championship Series. But this is nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: and didn't need and fewer Mary like a Hollywood starlet
Speaker 1: or showgirl or something like that, if I remember correct
Speaker 1: anyway that matter, So I don't know. I hope she
Speaker 1: abused him, though, So Needon Fuor was fine. This is hilarious.
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty two, he was fined five hundred dollars for
Speaker 1: beating a San Diego player named Jim LaFeber, who would
Speaker 1: go on and manage in the Big League. So this
Speaker 1: is just a random game. Needon Fuor gets fined. The
Speaker 1: next day, his teammate Kurt Bovacua of the Padres was
Speaker 1: quoted in the newspapers as saying the guy they should
Speaker 1: have fined was the guy who ordered Needon Fuor to
Speaker 1: throw at Joe, that fat little Italian. That was the
Speaker 1: quest that made the newspaper dann oh man, imagine if
Speaker 1: that happened today, Holy racist racist right right, you can't
Speaker 1: do that and fattest, But Bavakwa did it. And then
Speaker 1: what do you think happened? The next day the reporter's
Speaker 1: pregame asked Tommy Losorda. They said, hey, Tommy Bakwa called
Speaker 1: you a fat little Italian? What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: And Tommy Lasorda went full Hindenburg on Kurt Buffakwa in
Speaker 1: the Padres And to me, this is the greatest Losorda
Speaker 1: rant of them all, and here it is. Tell you
Speaker 1: what I think about it. I think that is very,
Speaker 1: very bad for that man to make an accusation like that,
Speaker 1: that is terrible. I have never, ever since I've managed,
Speaker 1: ever told a picture to throw it anybody, nor will
Speaker 1: I ever, and if I ever did, I certainly wouldn't
Speaker 1: make him throw at a fucking one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: hitter black Lafae or fucking Bavakua, who could hit water
Speaker 1: if he fell out of a fucking boat. And I
Speaker 1: guarant fucking te you this. When I pitched and I
Speaker 1: was going to pitch against a fucking team that had
Speaker 1: guys on it like Bavakwa, I sent a fucking limousine
Speaker 1: to get the cocksucker to make sure he was in
Speaker 1: the motherfucking lineup, because I kicked that cocksucker's at any
Speaker 1: fucking day in a week. He's a fucking motherfucking big mouth.
Speaker 1: I'll say it. At Laudre's organization to this day has
Speaker 1: never recovered that line Bavakua couldn't hit water if he
Speaker 1: fell out of a fucking boat is one of the
Speaker 1: all time great lines that Lasorda has used, and he
Speaker 1: used the classic I'd send a limo to the you know,
Speaker 1: to pick that guy up, and oh it's hilarious, and
Speaker 1: I would like to pass on. I've mentioned this in
Speaker 1: the past, but the late great Joe McDonald who was
Speaker 1: an LA radio legend, and it was a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: and Joel was inside all the Dodger Locker Roman events
Speaker 1: from the seventies through the eighties and the nineties, and
Speaker 1: he saw and did it all in that era when
Speaker 1: Losorda was there. And he told me, and several others
Speaker 1: have confirmed it that the greatest rants by the Sorta,
Speaker 1: most of his great rants were not even recorded by microphones.
Speaker 1: That's how prolific Losorda was because after the Kingman and
Speaker 1: the Bavocua, he would check to make sure people did
Speaker 1: not have a radio microphone. He would do it for
Speaker 1: the writers sometimes, but when the radio guys were around,
Speaker 1: he would he would slow his role. So it had
Speaker 1: to be one of those little handheld recorders, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: one of those little tape recorders, the cassette tape thing.
Speaker 1: So moving on Benny's big board. This is honoring baseball's
Speaker 1: opening day. You have tuned into the quintessential, the quintessential
Speaker 1: big board greatest manager meltdowns. In my opinion, this is
Speaker 1: my list, It's not yours. This has been a great
Speaker 1: mount rushmore so far. No, no, no, no, no Mault Rushmore. No, No,
Speaker 1: we don't believe in that. That's lazy podcasting. So number two,
Speaker 1: we had an amazing, amazing library of audio clips from
Speaker 1: this guy to choose from. He is the former manager
Speaker 1: and I believe he's in the Hall of Fame. Earl Weaver.
Speaker 1: Earl Weaver coming in at number two, A couple of classics.
Speaker 1: We had many to choose from. Like I said, the
Speaker 1: first one that made the cut Earl Weaver. This goes back.
Speaker 1: I believe it was the late seventies, early eighties, and
Speaker 1: on only exact date on this one either, but Earl
Speaker 1: Weaver got into it during an Orioles Tigers game with
Speaker 1: Bill Haller. Was the name h A. L. L Er,
Speaker 1: not Maller Haller, Bill Hawler. And at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this clip, you'll hear Eddie Murray at the start, and
Speaker 1: then Earl Weaver enters. He comes running in. He's a
Speaker 1: very small man, Earl Weaver, he's an old man at
Speaker 1: this point. He runs over and he wants Bill Howard
Speaker 1: Howler to know how he feels. And let's just say
Speaker 1: Earl does not does not pull punches that. Let's go
Speaker 1: to the audio tape. There's not a behind the rubber,
Speaker 1: behind the rubber, he's not the golf behind. He didn't
Speaker 1: go rub for you looking at him. He didn't know English.
Speaker 1: That's behind the rubbers. Cruise, you're just the fuck us.
Speaker 1: That's great, Yo, out run yourself, earl. You run yourself girl?
Speaker 1: You mean yeah, I'm glad that Jap fuck up. You're
Speaker 1: bushes and years. He don't you ever put your finger
Speaker 1: on me? And you hit me? Girl? You don't put
Speaker 1: your finger talking. Hi, get right, Yo, ain't gonna knock

Speaker 1: You're right, And you know I didn't touch you. You
Speaker 1: did not. No, you're lying, damn hiring. No, you who
Speaker 1: aren't liar? I'm like liar. You're are a liar. You
Speaker 1: are liar. You are tell you no, you have for
Speaker 1: one reason to fuck istub wrong. That's the only race
Speaker 1: in your own girl, and you'll have your chance tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Quick's wrong with you? You ain't no good? No, you
Speaker 1: aren't either. You're no good. You're no fucking good. Here. No,
Speaker 1: I shall never have our game. So I hope you.
Speaker 1: I want to run here? What do I What are
Speaker 1: you doing here? Now? Well? Why don't you call the
Speaker 1: the Govins and ask me I will oh good, don't
Speaker 1: think I won't good day, And the quicker you get
Speaker 1: on it'll be better too. Oh yeah, that's right. You
Speaker 1: ain't going nowhere. You aren't either. I ten fucking years
Speaker 1: to now. Who's in the Hall of Fame? Well, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be in the whole no it right? You will
Speaker 1: know a Brochers, you know it. You're gonna be in
Speaker 1: the Hall of fay one more than I've lost you.
Speaker 1: I know you're having a game. You better get gone,
Speaker 1: and I'm i gotta get horribly better get gone. What
Speaker 1: the hell you that you had your hands on it?
Speaker 1: Now that's wrong? Long now, this one, Danny my favorite line.
Speaker 1: When Earl comes out. The first thing he says to
Speaker 1: the umpire, that guy Bill Holler is you are here
Speaker 1: to fuck us? That is hilarious. And then at the
Speaker 1: end of it you've heard Danny the umpire he responds
Speaker 1: to one of the lines that Weaver says. The umpire
Speaker 1: shoots back. He says, yeah, You're gonna be in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame for fucking up the world series is
Speaker 1: what he tells Earl Weaver on the field. It was
Speaker 1: it was outstanding, just just wonderful, and I love it,
Speaker 1: loved it, loved it, loved it all right, moving on that,
Speaker 1: staying with Earl Weaver, and this is the main reason
Speaker 1: Earl Weaver is at number two, not Tommy Lasorda. It's
Speaker 1: the Manager's Corner pregame show for the Orioles Radio Network,
Speaker 1: and Earl Weaver sat down with the one of the
Speaker 1: oil broadcasters and delivered one of the funniest couple of
Speaker 1: minutes you will ever hear from a baseball manager. And
Speaker 1: let's go to the audio tape and now to the
Speaker 1: Manager's Corner with Earl Weaver. Hi, everybody, this is Earl
Speaker 1: Weaver with Manager's Corner. Today. I have Tom Moore, orio broadcaster,
Speaker 1: back on the show. And I understand Tom's been getting
Speaker 1: some mail with questions that supposedly I can answer. Now,
Speaker 1: what the fuck are somebody's goddamn questions? Tom? Well, First
Speaker 1: of all, Earl George Moore from Baltimore, I was asking
Speaker 1: how much we feel the loss of Don Stanhouse. Well,
Speaker 1: Don Stanhouse was an asshole. He had us in trouble,
Speaker 1: had to fucking bases loaded, God damn it. Almost every
Speaker 1: fucking time he went out there. He liked to ruin
Speaker 1: my health smoking cigarettes. And thank god we got Timmy
Speaker 1: Stoddard coming in out to bullpen right now sticking a
Speaker 1: bat up their asses. And that's what it takes. Well,
Speaker 1: Bill Whitehouse, Earl, that certainly is an answer from Frederick
Speaker 1: Maryland wants to know why you and the Orioles don't
Speaker 1: go out and get some more teams speed speed. For
Speaker 1: Christ's sake, you get fucking goddamn little fleas on a
Speaker 1: fucking basis, getting picked off, trying to steal, getting thrown out,
Speaker 1: taking runs away from you. You get them big cocksuckers
Speaker 1: that can hit the fucking ball out the ballpark, and
Speaker 1: you can't make any goddamn mistakes. Well, certainly this show
Speaker 1: is going to get out in history. Earl. Terry Elliott
Speaker 1: of Washington, DC, Why wants to know why you don't
Speaker 1: use Terry Crowley as a designated hitter all the time. Well,
Speaker 1: Terry Crowley's lucky's in fucking baseball. For Christ's sake. He
Speaker 1: was released by the Cincinnata Reds. He was released by
Speaker 1: the fucking goddamn Atlanta Braves. We saw that Terry Crowley
Speaker 1: could sit on his fucking ask for eight internes and
Speaker 1: enjoy watching a baseball game just like any other fan,
Speaker 1: and has the ability to get up there and break
Speaker 1: one open in the fucking ninth. So if this cocksicker'd
Speaker 1: mind his own business and let me manage the fucking team,
Speaker 1: we'd be a lot better off. Well, certainly you've made
Speaker 1: your opinions known on the fans questions about baseball, Earl,
Speaker 1: but let's get to something else. Alice Sweet from Norfolk
Speaker 1: wants to know the best time to put in the
Speaker 1: tobata plan. Ellice sweethought to be worried about where the
Speaker 1: fuck her next lay is coming from more rather than
Speaker 1: were next goddamn tomato plants coming from. She get her
Speaker 1: ass out to fucking bars at night and go hustling
Speaker 1: around to goddamn street. She might get a prick stuck
Speaker 1: in her once in a while. I don't understand where
Speaker 1: these questions are coming from. Tom That's about it for
Speaker 1: Manager's Corner. Go fuck yourself and the fuck with your
Speaker 1: show coming up next on the Baltimore Oriole Baseball fucking Network.
Speaker 1: Double Manager's Corner with Earl Weaver has heard twenty minutes
Speaker 1: before every Orioles regular season game. Man I guess we
Speaker 1: should point out, Danny, this did not actually air. That
Speaker 1: never actually aired on the Baltimore Orioles Baseball fucking network.
Speaker 1: It why, I don't know why. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: He had a couple of brilliant lines. This was as
Speaker 1: good as some of the all time great comedy rants
Speaker 1: you think of historically, Abbott and Costello, things like that.
Speaker 1: But Earl Weaver when he said Don Standhouse was an
Speaker 1: asshole one of his former players, he said, Terry Crowley
Speaker 1: is lucky he's in baseball. He can sit his fucking
Speaker 1: ass for eight innings just like any other fan. And
Speaker 1: then the end of that, Danny when he's talking about
Speaker 1: the tomato plants, Oh my god, is that hilarious alice
Speaker 1: sweet from Norfolk and the tomato plant. That's a ten.
Speaker 1: That's a ten. That's a ten. When did Weaver pass away?
Speaker 1: He actually died on a Baltimore Oriole fan cruise. You
Speaker 1: know how they have those fan cruises in the office. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he passed away on a cruise ship. Oh damn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, I believe that. What a way
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, you're right at the Caribbean Sea. It
Speaker 1: says twenty thirteen. Yeah. Fortunately they did not dump him overboard.
Speaker 1: They actually took him back for a proper, proper burial.
Speaker 1: But Earl, what a fiery man. The number one, number one,
Speaker 1: number one on big Ben's big board, not a list,
Speaker 1: not a list, number one a big Ben's big board. Well,
Speaker 1: this one is. This is Picasso, this is Rembrandt, this
Speaker 1: is the greats, this is NISI. What's the guy's name,
Speaker 1: I can't even think of the guy's name, Danny. What's
Speaker 1: the guy's name? Beethoven? Beethoven, whatever hell did? This is great?
Speaker 1: So Beethoven. So we go now back to Chicago. We
Speaker 1: started Big Ben's Big board in Chicago. We go back
Speaker 1: to Chicago. Lee Elia, Oh yeah, Lee Ilia is the
Speaker 1: NaN's name. It is the secretariat of manager meltdowns. In
Speaker 1: my life. No one will ever pass this by. Lee
Speaker 1: Elia broke the cardinal rule of business. You never attacked
Speaker 1: the customer. The customer is always right. This was we'recorded
Speaker 1: by the late great Less Grobstein in Chicago. I was
Speaker 1: lucky enough to meet Less Grobstein. Very happy about that.
Speaker 1: And Less also passed away not that long ago. But
Speaker 1: Less was the only radio man that had a microphone
Speaker 1: in the room. This is April twenty ninth, nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1: The Cubs are out of the gates slow first nineteen games.
Speaker 1: The Chicago Cubs were five and fourteen. The fans were
Speaker 1: razing the players at Wrigley Field. The Cubs had just
Speaker 1: lost a game to the Dodgers. They lost, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: beat them on a wild pitch by Lee Smith, and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers scored the winning run. And so, needless to say,
Speaker 1: the Cubs were in a bad mood. And then after
Speaker 1: the game, this is so long ago, the clubhouses for
Speaker 1: the teams were out in the outfield, So the Cub
Speaker 1: players had to walk out to left field because that's
Speaker 1: where the clubhouse was, out in left field. And after
Speaker 1: the game, fans were pouring beer and other food items
Speaker 1: trash on Keith Morland, Larry Boa, and Ron Say. So
Speaker 1: they were just throwing all this crap and beer on
Speaker 1: these guys. And Lee Elia was furious. He found out
Speaker 1: about it, and he was having none of it. And
Speaker 1: that provided us with this audio poetry Number one, Lee Ilia,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one fucking thing. I hope we get
Speaker 1: fucking hot shit just to suff it up them. Three
Speaker 1: thousand fucking people to show up every fucking day, because
Speaker 1: if they're the real Chicago fucking fans, they can kiss
Speaker 1: my fucking hands right downtown and print it. They're really
Speaker 1: really behind you around here. My fucking hands am I
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Go out there and let my fucking
Speaker 1: players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it.
Speaker 1: For the fucking Nickeldine people to show up. The motherfuckers
Speaker 1: don't even work. That's why they're out of the fucking game.
Speaker 1: They're only go out and get a fucking job and
Speaker 1: find out what it's like to go out there in
Speaker 1: a fucking living. Eighty five percent of the fucking world
Speaker 1: work it. The other fifteen come out here the fucking
Speaker 1: playground for the cocksuckers. Rip them, mother fuckers, Rip them
Speaker 1: tucked cocksuckers. Like the fucking players got guys bucks in
Speaker 1: their fucking ads for the fucking people through and that's
Speaker 1: the cup My fucking ads then guck about the great
Speaker 1: fucking support that the players get around here. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it this fucking here. The name of the game
Speaker 1: has hit the ball, catch the ball, and get the
Speaker 1: fucking job done. Right now, we have more losses than
Speaker 1: we have wins. The fucking changes that have happened in
Speaker 1: a couple organizations are multifolds, all right. They don't show
Speaker 1: because we're five and fourth teams, And unfortunately that's the
Speaker 1: criteria of them. Some fifteen motherfucking percent to come out
Speaker 1: to day baseball. The other eighty five percent are earning
Speaker 1: a living. It'll take more than a five and thirteen
Speaker 1: or five and fourteen to destroy the makeup of this club.
Speaker 1: I'll guarantee you that there's some fucking pros out there
Speaker 1: that want to fucking play this game. But you're sucking
Speaker 1: a fucking sigma. The fucking Dodgers and the Phillies and
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and all that cheap shit. All these mother
Speaker 1: fucking editorials about say and fucking uh, the phillyitis and
Speaker 1: all that should that did sickening. It's unbelievable, it really is.
Speaker 1: It's a disheartening fucking situation. We're right now five and fourteen.
Speaker 1: Doesn't the gate all that work one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: three fucking games left. What I'm trying to say it,
Speaker 1: don't rip them fucking guys out there ripped me? Can
Speaker 1: I want to rip somebody? Rip my fucking head but
Speaker 1: don't rip them fucking guys because they're kivin everything they
Speaker 1: can get. But once we hit that fucking groove, it
Speaker 1: will flow, and it will flow the talents there. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to make it any clarity you. I'm frustrated.
Speaker 1: I'll guarantee I'm frustrated. It'd be different if I walked
Speaker 1: into this room every day at eight thirty and saw
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys they didn't give a shit. They
Speaker 1: give a shit, and it's a tough Natalie Gees. The
Speaker 1: thing about this dandy which is wild to me is
Speaker 1: Lee Elia was fired as Cub manager. This happened April
Speaker 1: twenty ninth. You know when Lee lost his job. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take a guess a month later? No, how about August?
Speaker 1: He through May, June, July, three more months, and then
Speaker 1: in August of nineteen eighty three for reasons completely not
Speaker 1: related to that clip, because it was never broadcast, at
Speaker 1: least not the full rant, and he was let go
Speaker 1: because the team was not playing well. The Cubs did
Speaker 1: not play well, but Leela actually survived. What was his
Speaker 1: math there? Oh, the eighty five percent of the world's
Speaker 1: work and the other fifteen percent come out here. It's
Speaker 1: a playground for the blank blanks. Take that for data.
Speaker 1: You get a real job, God, and get a real
Speaker 1: job and all that nonsense. Blank my blank and blank
Speaker 1: you exactly exactly. So that is big bench, big board.
Speaker 1: Thank you for putting up with that. And the bad
Speaker 1: news is that kidding? That's gonna be the best thing
Speaker 1: that I've heard all week? All right, No, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's wonderful. So yeah, why why don't you
Speaker 1: want to do the Safari Kingdom? You want to push
Speaker 1: that to the the Saturday podcast. We do the Safari Kingdom?
Speaker 1: You want? You want to do it? Yeah, we can
Speaker 1: fit Safari Kingdom in here. All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: And it is now an official bit, Danny g. As
Speaker 1: you know, our man Ohio Ow has come through. We've
Speaker 1: got a very little jingle, a small jingle, the work
Speaker 1: of Ohio Aw. And here it is. It's time for
Speaker 1: Kingdom with dang radio alight and look at that. We
Speaker 1: just got a cease and desist from Clay Travis. No,
Speaker 1: this is not this is not animal underdome. There's no thunderdome.
Speaker 1: This is something completely different. I'm sure that'll solve it.
Speaker 1: This is Safari Kingdom. And these are a few animal stories.
Speaker 1: Why not. People love animals, and these are animal related stories.
Speaker 1: And sometimes they're bugs, sometimes they're animals. Everyone loves their dogs.
Speaker 1: And Prada, the high falutin brand Prada, has decided that
Speaker 1: they would like to take advantage of rich people that
Speaker 1: have a lot of extra money, as they have debuted
Speaker 1: a brand new dog code inspired by high fashion human designs,
Speaker 1: and they are selling a dog coade for seven hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety five dollars. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anyone that buys that should be sentenced to some kind
Speaker 1: of public service. Seven hundred ninety five dollars for a
Speaker 1: fucking dog coat? Are you kidding me? Come on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how much the pure bread mutt cost. It costs
Speaker 1: more than that. Now, man, some of these I know,
Speaker 1: if you get a good deal on one without papers,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody that's wild. How about this story out
Speaker 1: of Missouri. A woman is being forced to pay peta
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars in legal fees. The People against
Speaker 1: the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the people who you know,
Speaker 1: don't want to seat meat Peter and so anyway, this
Speaker 1: this woman two hundred thousand dollars in legal fees. Why
Speaker 1: she faked a chimp's death and a cremation. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: ordered to pay two hundred thousand dollars in legal fees.
Speaker 1: She faked the death of a movie star chimp that
Speaker 1: had a role in a movie from the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1: Film it was called Buddy Goop was in that Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So a federal court ruled that this woman, Tanya, has
Speaker 1: to give over two hundred, two hundred and twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in legal fees to the animal rights group
Speaker 1: because her tail and the chimpanzee that she was carrying
Speaker 1: for Tonka had had died was cremated, and all that
Speaker 1: the false death claim was relayed under oath. It resulted
Speaker 1: in PETA needing to build for hundreds of attorney work
Speaker 1: hours that they claim cost thousands of dollars, and so
Speaker 1: Pee is like, you gotta pay us that money. And
Speaker 1: it turns out that a judge in Saint Louis is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta pay this money. The moral is, do not
Speaker 1: do not fake a story and have Peter investigate, or
Speaker 1: you're gonna be up shit creek and without without a paddle.
Speaker 1: So that's that's unfortunate. It's unfortunate. Next up on the
Speaker 1: Safari Kingdom. You see that story out of Colorado, a
Speaker 1: mountain lion attacking a dude in a hot tub. Oh
Speaker 1: I saw this. Yeah, that is that's gotta be everyone's nightmare.
Speaker 1: Is there is there any way that that is not
Speaker 1: everyone's nightmare to be in a hot tub at a
Speaker 1: rental home. I guess you are relaxed when the accident happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this mountain lion clawed at this dude. He and
Speaker 1: his wife were just kind of hanging out and having
Speaker 1: a good time. They renting those place and lounging in
Speaker 1: the in the hot tub and out in the woods.
Speaker 1: And it's about eight o'clock. And this happened a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago in Colorado. And the guys like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt so, I felt something grab grabbed my head
Speaker 1: and yeah, they must have really been in a tranquil state,
Speaker 1: like with their eyes closed. Do you think the wife
Speaker 1: was like, oh, honey, you're Viagaras kicking in. Slap me
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Wow. And the way this ended
Speaker 1: the story is like the wife Danny grabbed the flashlight
Speaker 1: points it towards the mountain lion. Yeah, the husband and
Speaker 1: the wife they start screaming at the mountain lion and
Speaker 1: then eventually the mountain lions all right, fuck you, and
Speaker 1: then then walks back into the into the woods. But
Speaker 1: here's the problem, man, at some point, you gotta get
Speaker 1: out of a hot tub, right, and don't you think
Speaker 1: that mountain lion is still lurking off in the shadows
Speaker 1: in the woods waiting to pounce on you. Man, talk
Speaker 1: about being a sitting duck. Hello. The husband had four scratches,
Speaker 1: but it was all superficial on the top of his
Speaker 1: head and near his right eye. That could have taken
Speaker 1: the dude's right eye out. Yeah. Man, and the officers
Speaker 1: inspected the wounds, they said they didn't match a mountain lion. Well,
Speaker 1: here's something from the insect world on Safari Kingdom. Because
Speaker 1: insects are part of the Safari. Female spiders, according to
Speaker 1: new research, played dead when they're having sex. Why do
Speaker 1: they play dead, Danny, You want to take a guess
Speaker 1: they're not into their husbands. No, female spiders played dead
Speaker 1: during sex, so males don't have to worry about being eaten. Hello, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I've heard the stories about how they eat
Speaker 1: there they're afterwards, right, yeah. Yeah. According to new research,
Speaker 1: the female spiders played dead during sex, so the males
Speaker 1: are a little less worried that they might be eaten
Speaker 1: when the deed is done chans and that in turn
Speaker 1: makes it easier for the females to choose the best
Speaker 1: mates by playing dead for appealing to partners fighting off
Speaker 1: the scrubs. So, I don't know. You think they've they've
Speaker 1: gotten in the mind of spiders, You think so, I don't.
Speaker 1: They claimed they've researched it. They claimed they've done their
Speaker 1: homework and they've gotten to the bottom of it. This
Speaker 1: is an interesting story out of Australia. That's hard. Have
Speaker 1: you seen the photo of the World's Happiest cow Danny? No,
Speaker 1: you have not. I gonsa send you this photo. If
Speaker 1: you're listening to the podcast, just imagine what this looks like.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold on, say, i gotta click a couple
Speaker 1: of buttons here, and then I'm gonna send this to
Speaker 1: you and and then Danny, you can describe exactly what's
Speaker 1: in in the photo. But this has been bouncing around
Speaker 1: social media for the last few days. It's it's in
Speaker 1: the echo chamber. See that. Oh yeah, what is what
Speaker 1: is that? Danny? Oh that's crazy looking, isn't that awesome?
Speaker 1: On the side, it's white, racist all through the middle
Speaker 1: of the cow. And on its side it's a happy face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the happiest cow around. Did dark markings look like
Speaker 1: a smiley face? Yeah? So this happened earlier in the
Speaker 1: month of March and freaky right. The the it's now
Speaker 1: become the mascot of a dairy in Australia and they've
Speaker 1: they've they're gonna use this for different events in promotions
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and so that cow will live a wonderful
Speaker 1: life and not have to worry about anything. Everything's taken
Speaker 1: care of for that cow. It's the world's happiest cow.
Speaker 1: And on the left side it's got a smiley face,
Speaker 1: like a smiley emotion. So that's kind of cool. There
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, The owners decided to sell him after
Speaker 1: being overwhelmed by media attention. Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: we're you're gonna make some make some money on this,
Speaker 1: why not? What the hell? All right, Well, that's it,
Speaker 1: we'll get out on that. Anything you want to promote
Speaker 1: Danny on Friday, which is not April first, It is not.
Speaker 1: That was a false alarm. It is not April first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: last day of March. You're done with your radio shift.
Speaker 1: I still need to go into mine this afternoon. Produce
Speaker 1: a fun Coveno and Rich Friday show for two to
Speaker 1: four pm West Coast Time Outstanding. Enjoy that Cavino and Rich.
Speaker 1: They actually have stuff they give away on that show,
Speaker 1: unlike our show. We don't give any on my overnight show.
Speaker 1: We don't have we don't have any budget. We give
Speaker 1: nothing away. But I have a great head. You give
Speaker 1: trips away, well, we do give that is correct. We
Speaker 1: do give the trip round trip to nowhere, and we
Speaker 1: have a lifetime supply nothing and nobody else is giving
Speaker 1: those things away. So that is true. That is accurate.
Speaker 1: And we have a great rest of your day, and
Speaker 1: got a big podcast weekend all weekend long and we'll
Speaker 1: catch you next time later. Skater gott a murder, Gotta
Speaker 1: go
