Speaker 1: of these Nicol and Dyed podcast humble Now. On a

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, how annoyed are you the

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: fact that I have broadcast quality audio, a professional radio

45
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: industry standard microphone that I am talking into, an electro

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: voice that I'm talking into, and you are on a

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: tin can in string. On a scale of one to tend,

48
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: how annoyed is Tom Looney? I can because I have

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: all the equipment necessary, but your audio engineer had no

50
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: idea what I was talking about when I started up

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: talking about technical shit. That's right. You can say shit

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: on the podcast. That's why we can't say that on

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the damn radio listening. Guesscon's great. You should go back.

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: I know you hate the podcast, but you should go back. Looney.

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: We we have recorded some podcasts where we were just

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: screaming on top of a hill at each other and uh,

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: and it was recorded and broadcast and put on the

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: internet for people to consume the audio and listen to. Uh.

59
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: Free free content was placed on the internet for people

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: to consume. I mean, let me get in here real quick,

61
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, I feel young again, which

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: is nice amongst youtub sounds beautiful. It is thank you

63
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: and some of the things that not. Tom. You gotta

64
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: do us a favor before we get any Q and

65
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: A sessions with you right now, Can you give me

66
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: a favor. Since I know you're technologically savvy, can you

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: go to your computer and put that sucker on mute

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: so we don't get an indicator every time you get

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: a fucking email. Please, I really appreciate that. I think.

70
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Here's my here's my philosophy about noise in the background,

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: technical stuff like that. We're just we're used to noise

72
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: now in American culture. A matter of fact, it drives

73
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: me crazy. I go hiking in the woods. There's a

74
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: thousand acres behind my park, behind my house. I don't

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: own those thousand acres, otherwise it wouldn't be here right now.

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: But whenever I go hiking, I can't believe that people

77
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: need music in their ears. The birds chirping aren't enough,

78
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: or the silence that gives us chance for wonder isn't enough.

79
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: People need noise, And so believe me, the noise in

80
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: the background at my place isn't gonna bother any of

81
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: your your mutants that listen to this thing because they

82
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: need noise. Yeah, looney, you're becoming the get off my

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: long guy. You're becoming to get off my life. What

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: happened to get off you? Happy? You would know you've

85
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: actually always been like that, loony. Remember in the old days,

86
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: and when we'd have new producers and they chime in

87
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: but they didn't say their name, you would you would

88
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: scold them. You would pull them aside in the bottles

89
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio and and lecture them that whenever

90
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: they turn their mic and they have to say their name,

91
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: you were defense. I would yell at them on the

92
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: air because it's bad radio. When there's all of a sudden,

93
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: there's this there's this voice that comes in from out

94
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: of nowhere, you know, a little squeaky voice like that

95
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: a child actor you have on your other show, and

96
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: out of the clear blue sky. And then people are

97
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: clueless that they tune in to hear the star of

98
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: the show and the star the squeaky voices for people.

99
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: People don't know who they People inside the building know

100
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: who the voices are, but the people listening to the

101
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: show ideally aren't just the five people who side. Well,

102
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: and you made me like Luony the people I know

103
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: you were on that you talk about Rinky Dink that

104
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Brian Finley podcast. You were on with that and we

105
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Rinky didnk podcast. Yeah, yeah, well Finley he fills in

106
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: when Eddie takes time off, and he's usually like to

107
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: go to filling guy for me and Finley he's lacking

108
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: in somebody like he. I don't think he knew what

109
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: above the Marquis or headliner what he didn't know those terms,

110
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: like basic terms that I felt like every once, you know,

111
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: on the Marquis, Right, So I think I said something

112
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: like I'm on the Marquis or something like that. He

113
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't really know what that meant. How's that possible, Looney?

114
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: That in in a guy and he's a grown ass

115
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: man does not know what that means. Well, yeah, and

116
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: especially you and I always wanted our names above the Marquis.

117
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: Of course, that's right, you want you wanted where Schwarzenegger

121
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: we've had, you know, in the old days, we had

122
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: some really legendarily horrific people that worked. I had one

123
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: board op well, I had one guy that missed an

124

125
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,360

127
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: dollars he missed. I had another guy in the before.

Speaker 1: A radio and yes, I was, well, I was. I

156
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: was an in depth background journalist covering yes journalists another

157
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: biased reporters. So they hired Looney as the update boy

158
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: at the radio station, right and originally and so, um,

159
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. You fucked up on one of

160
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: your updates, right, but the program director. But let's keep

161
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: in mind on what I fucked up on. It was.

162
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything important. It was major League Baseball playoffs score.

163
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: You screwed that up, which at the time was somewhat

164
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: of a big deal. Uh, ur. It was like during

165
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: the It was during the day too. It was like

166
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: a daytime baseball playoffs. Yeah, and the score was like

167
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: three to one. And I said, so I'll never so

168
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: you funk up. We were I was doing the show

169
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: with Dave and you, not Dave Guesco, but David Smith,

170
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: and you, uh, you screw up. The program actor comes

171
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: rumbling and stumbling down the hall and yells at us

172
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: for not correcting you. He doesn't yell at you. You're

173
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: the one that made the mistake. He didn't say were

174
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: you because you were the gossip guy and he didn't

175
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: want to offend you. So instead, the rogame director yells

176
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: in us, we're not even listening to you, and he's

177
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: yelling at That's the power of Looney. It was not

178
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: only that, not only the power of me, but also

179
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: you learned as a very young broadcaster yourself at the time. Uh,

180
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: you learned what politics was all about. He didn't hire you,

181
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: but he hired me. He yelled his fair haired boy

182
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: had the fair haired boy also had a column where

183
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: I talked about radio. Right, so you you took all

184
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: the ship. Tom. Correct me if I'm wrong, because that

185
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: story is pretty good. But I think my favorite story

186
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: I've heard from you two guys is that the one

187
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: that you I guess you you kind of misplaced or

188
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: confuse a couple of shirts. Be sure to catch live

189
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am

190
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the

191
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app. Yes, yes, well, I've actually gave

192
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: me a lot of respect from too great. Two things

193
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: gave me respect for Ben because before this happened, I

194
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: had none. So anyway, I I uh so what happened

195
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: was an Extra Sports eleven fifty along came Fox Sports

196
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: Radio employee, where we thrilled to have an association with

197
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: the syndicated guys that we're gonna take all our shows, right,

198
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: so uh so Fox Sports Radio came along, and then

199
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: they knew that there was some resentment there because they

200
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: were going to take over an afternoon drive and some

201
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: nighttime shows and we were all local twenty four hour

202
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: at the time, and so people were bitter, and so

203
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: they sent us all our own really cool Fox Sports

204
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: Radio shirts, and mine was a large and you know

205
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: what a weightlifting machine I am, So I decided I

206
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: needed an extra large, so I went into Ben's mailbox

207
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: and stole Ben's extra large I should point out higher

208
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: than me. So now, looney, let me then be point out. Looney,

209
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: let me point out that the shirt in fairness and

210
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: extra large would not have fit me at that time.

211
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: All right, I mean, I mean point that out right there.

212
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: It was rather large in those days. I steal an

213
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: extra extra large. Yeah, it was at least a two x.

214
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: It had to be at least okay, okay, And so

215
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: then I succeed at that. No witnesses, nothing, no cameras

216
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: back at the time. Uh, And we were riding horse

217
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: and buggies to work. There were no cameras at the time.

218
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: And the studios or the security cameras. So that night,

219
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: like her game, and where do I see Ben? Of

220
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: course in the media room or was there's the free

221
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: food before the game? I was working, man, I was

222
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: working sources. I was I was talking to Big Joe

223
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: McDonald and Jim Hill and those guys. I was getting inside. Okay,

224
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: that's right. I was working the buffet also, yes, and

225
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: over near the buffet, I see Ben. Is that Ben?

226
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: And Ben says nothing to me because he shuns me

227
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: like I'm an amish first and wearing a bikini, right,

228
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: damn right, So so I said to myself. Then Ben

229
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: goes and sits down, and I finished getting my food,

230
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and well, I gotta go sit with Ben because because

231
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I must be loved, I'm irish, right, Ben refusing to

232
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: talk to me, So I gotta go fix this. I'm

233
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: a fixer. So I went and sat down. I said Ben,

234
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: how are you doing? He said not too good? I

235
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: said why? And Ben, some asshole at work stole my

236
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: shirt sits out our next sexel for a large Yeah.

237
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know. He had no proof, but somehow he knew,

238
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: and so I fessed up immediately because I had to

239
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: fix it immediately. So I told him right away because

240
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: who knows no matute what age we were. We weren't eleven, right,

241
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: he did not know an eleven year old looney, that's true? Yeah,

242
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: and uh and I and I. So it was an

243
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: indefensible thing that I did, incredibly immature. I did it.

244
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Had Ben just right up front told me he knew

245
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: that jig was up, and so I fixed it right there.

246
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Another great Ben story about telling people exactly how he

247
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: feels to their face. We had a producer nobody liked

248
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: and had a real nasty attitude, and and just what

249
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: we only set it behind his back. Nobody complained to

250
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: management nothing and so, because he was actually quite a

251
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: frightening character. But but Ben walks in one day and

252
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: Ben needed a chair to do some prep for the show.

253
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: And Ben said to this bad guy, excuse me, piece

254
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: of ship, I need that chair. I was always good,

255
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: luny with the relations I learned. You know about that

256
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: that famous book, right, you gotta remember people's names and

257
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And yes, yes it was Dale Carnegie

258
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: How to Win Friends. And that's right, that's right. You

259
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: were the one that told me about I read the book.

260
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to anything in it, but I did

261
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: read the book. You know. I did the absolute attention

262
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: to the book and that guy because that guy had

263
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: the fowless mouth in the most wicked temper, and that

264
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Ben would walk in and tempt the short temper guy

265
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: with that. Well, well, I also had I had a

266
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: size advantage over everybody, so I could get away with

267
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: some of that stuff because I could just crush them

268
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: if I had to at that at that time, but

269
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean we had so many remember the trip to

270
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: we all went to cover the Lakers against the Pacers

271
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. We spent like a week in Indianapolis doing shows.

272
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: We got it was the NBA Finals and it was

273
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: it was you know, it's a it was a three

274
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: four three, right, I'm sorry three. Yes, it's a best

275
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: of ten. They changed the finals out to the best

276
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: of ten. No, it seemed like seven, but it was

277
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: the best of ten. That's looney math is what that is.

278
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: But we we the entire radio station and and a

279
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know this that that only heard

280
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: us on Fox Sports Radio. But we did a morning show.

281
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: We had the Looney and Ben Morning Show that we

282
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: which made for a very awkward set up because if

283
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: you remember Looney, we we had carried at that time

284
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: the Bob and Tom Morning Show, right, which is which

285
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: is based in Indianapolis. That and that was very part.

286
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: It's still on, but it was very popular syndicated morning show,

287
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: the Bob and Tom Show, and we were doing, yeah,

288
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: we were doing our our morning show and covering up

289
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Bob and Tom. And remember didn't one of the guys

290
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: from the show come out there. And it was very

291
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: it was like very awkward. I yeah, we had to

292
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: interview that the sports guy came out to the Hollywood

293
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood Film Works and spa. Remember that's where we did

294
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: our we did. It was like a free country. We

295
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: did a radio show and Indianapolis had no rules about

296
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: small oaking and drinking. We were doing a radio show

297
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: while smoking and drinking. I smoke cigarettes at the time.

298
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: It was really it was like a free country. It

299
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: was great. And uh, we didn't live from the in Indianapolis,

300
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a Hollywood uh film Works and spawn people would people

301
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: could drink beer, smoke cigarettes and watch movies in this place.

302
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: And it was a bar and chicken wing place and

303
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: we had a blast. But one of the guys in

304
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: the Bob and Tom show came down and we and

305
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: we had to interview him. And little did he know

306
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: that it's you know that we weren't even using their

307
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: show anymore. Oh, yeah, they were, they were, they were.

308
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: That was actually the second time. I think this one

309
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: predates you. But in the early days of AM eleven fifty,

310
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: they were carrying the fabulous sports Babe, right and uh

311
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: and so they Yeah, this was before Looney. It's a

312
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: great story. Anyways, I'll tell it because I have it

313
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: in my head. So the radio station had a big

314
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: Gallas social event. In fact, I remember it was at

315
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium because they were becoming the Dodger station. You

316
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: just got text there. So they were becoming the Dodger station.

317
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: And so she was on the station, some other big names.

318
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: So they flew all these people out that you know,

319
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: she did the show from I think Connecticut or Florida

320
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. So they flew out to l A to

321
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: meet in kind of a hob knob and socialized and

322
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: schmooz with all these executives and all these They brought

323
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: a lot of advertisers in. Well, the problem was that

324
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: the the event was on a Friday like night or

325
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: something like that, the social event. But I think it

326
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: was Larry Stewart in the l A Times that Friday

327
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: morning had reported that the station was planning on pulling

328
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: her show off the air. And uh, she came, Oh

329
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: my god, Luny. She came in there a ball of fire,

330
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: as I you would expect, right, you flew all the

331
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: way out for a social event to pro motor radio

332
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: station that's about to pull your show, and uh, I'll

333
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: never forget. It was so awkward and so uncomfortable, and uh,

334
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: it's like you wouldn't like the planning who decided, hey,

335
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: let's fly her out, but we're gonna get rid of

336
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: the show in like a week. And it didn't make

337
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: any sense to me, but that that kind of stuff

338
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: happening all the time, Oh I had. It happened in

339
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: eleventh grade when our our English teacher Elsen, who was

340
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: also assistant wrestling coach, needed how he bought this farmhouse,

341
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: this all broken darmed farmhouse. So it's gonna take six

342
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: of the wrestlers out to help him, you know, get

343
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: to junk out and paint it and stuff. And they

344
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: picked me up last at my house and I got

345
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: in the car and he said, before you come help

346
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: me refurbish my house, I gotta let you know I failed.

347
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: You want to come, Well, let's let's see. That's a

348
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: good thing, that's an honest thing, because you do all that.

349
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: And then it was it was great. I came. I figured, well,

350
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: here's the here's the thing to do. Maybe I'll come

351
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: anyway and he can give a call to the principle

352
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: and then they he'll tell he'll fess up until he

353
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: made a mistake. And I think exactly it happened. Oh really,

354
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. It got changed on my report card

355
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: because I went out. I went out there and put

356
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: a few coats of paint on his house. Yeah yeah, yeah,

357
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: that's great. So what would a big ben have done

358
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: in that situation. I wouldn't have done. I would have spit. Yeah,

359
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: you fucking dick, go to hell. I'm done with you.

360
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,360

368
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: what what is it? Well, first of all, let me

369
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: see I went on to keep my blue check mark.

370
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: You did. But how is Live treating you post Fox

371
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio? I say, member of the Fox Sports Radio

372
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: Alumni Association. Oh well, it's been wonderful, you know. As

373
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was the spokesperson for l I Bank,

374
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: the TV dentist also did uh for Buffalo Wild Wings.

375
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: I not only did a Super Bowl commercial playing a

376
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: sportscaster because I'm such a great actor. I also then

377
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: went on to do one for March Madness that nobody saw.

378
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: Now you're bragging. See now again you're bragging, and you didn't.

379
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see the super Bowl commercial. You told me

380
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: about it, but I didn't you see it? What's up

381
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: with it? I'll believe me. Ben. I have got a

382
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: copy of my own that I will send you and

383
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: the TV dentist? Did you get paid every time that

384
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: commercial air because that thing aired a lot that was

385
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: on TV? Yeah, it's really cool. You get one check

386
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: for when it's on cable you get enough, and then

387
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: for locals you get a check for a certain amount

388
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: every time it runs on let's say on the original thirteen,

389
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: and then you get a certain amount for the first

390
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: ten times, and after that it cuts in half. But

391
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: still it's a nice chunk of change. Wouldn't it be great? If? Again?

392
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: You know what made me feel great? I reminded myself

393
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: of the great justin I went out. It was my

394
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: first audition after getting pole axed by Fox Sports Radio.

395
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: I said, I'll go out to some acting auditions and

396
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: it was the first one I went to, and I

397
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: got good the first one I went to. That's what

398
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be wonderful for us, Luny in radio always

399
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: this always upsets me, like I'm so jealous of television

400
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: and movies and things like that. Right, wouldn't it be

401
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: wonderful in radio if we could still get paid from

402
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: shows we did, like the old Blitz back you know,

403
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: seven eight years ago. We got paid because somebody downloaded

404
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: it and we got a little check, Like even if

405
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: it was fifty cents, I would be full. Nobody who

406
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: Nobody's going back and listening. We have all this, We

407
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: have an archive of vault of audio content from the

408
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: last twenty plus years of radio broadcasting. And we don't

409
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: get paid at time for that, not at dime. I'm

410
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: not I'm not done talking about myself yet. After getting

411
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: pole axed at Fox Sports Radio, not only did I

412
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: do that commercial, big Ben, I got hired as a

413
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: real news anchor. Im I'm a journalist now, but a

414
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: real journalist, not a fake journalist like you. A real

415
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: journalist giving my objective point of view on the news

416
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: of the day on k ABC in Los Angeles. That

417
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: is a legendary That is a legendary news station. Uh.

418
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: KRBC was when I was a kid, you know. Of

419
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: course I used to listen to you on the radio

420
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: and I was a kid, and that was the business.

421
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: K ABC was a big deal. They were the top

422
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: radio station in Los Angeles. But you are really in

423
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: many ways louting your broadcast. You were like the mocking

424
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: Bird media of of broadcast. And you admit that, right, Mockingbird,

425
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: mocking Bird Media. Yeah, you're not familiar with that. You. Oh,

426
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: you don't know this, Ludi doesn't know. All of a sudden,

427
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: I feel like Brian Friendly, Oh you gotta look this up.

428
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: Operation mocking Bird, Right, so this is this is all

429
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Gascon knows what I'm talking about here. But this was

430
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: supposedly a c I A program that began in the

431
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Cold War, and it was a super secret program to

432
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: manipulate the news media for propaganda purposes. Right, so it's

433
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: it's media. Oh wow, Well, now I just get the

434
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: Northeastern liberals just to send me emails and tell me

435
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: what to say, and I'm off. You get the talking

436
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: points memo and you're like, okay, I'm good. I know

437
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 1: what team mom on and I am running with it now.

438
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: You can never you consider yourself a limousine liberal with that?

439
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: How you you would describe yourself a limousine liberal? Want

440
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: to be? Because I don't have the limits yet. I

00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: how do I give a liberal point of view on

443
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: a forest fire? It's really hard. You can point to

444
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: climate change? No, that's right one, yeah, because sometimes things

445
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: are so slow. I pray for forest fire. Yeah. Different.

00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: be more like you, because I love, I love, I

460
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: don't go we bash each other all the time, which

461
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: is great, man, But some of these other people they're

462
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: so sensitive they can't take the ribbing. They can't go

463
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: back and forth. And I think everyone's and then aunt

464
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: makes fun of themselves. The number one thing when you're

465
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: when you're blow viating about politics, says who says, I'm

466
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: fucking right exactly. I mean, that's my point, and that's

467
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: why I love you. You know, our converence. We talk

468
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: a lot, we text a lot, and it reminds me

469
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot when I was growing up my parents.

470
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: My mom liberal, my dad conservative, and they would duke

471
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: get out about the issues of the day at the

472
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: dinner table. But it was kind of in a fun way.

473
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: And then at the end of dinner they would, you know,

474
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: hug it out or whatever, and they go, we we

475
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: go watch TV. Now, Oh I'm gonna I can't. I've

476
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: listened to your show for fifteen years, but you gave

477
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: an opinion. I don't like him on politics, and I'm

478
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: not listening anymore. I mean, right, I know, I know

479
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: it's it's it's so insane that cancel culture. That's your

480
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: that's your side, looney, cancel culture, that's yourself, and it's

481
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: very bye. Sorry, just canceled. By the way, the Egyptians

482
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: fucking inventive. The new Pharaoh would come along and you

483
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: get on, you get hammer and chisel, and they would

484
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: chisel away at the statutes of the forever. But but

485
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: what's great about our text is you know, I you'll

486
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: find like a child molesting liberal who's poisoned his family,

487
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: and then you will send the story to me and say,

488
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: there's your guys. Well you'll do to say, you'll you'll

489
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: find a conservative nut job who's got more guns than

490
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: you know military somewhere does some racking things. I see,

491
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: that is your guys, Mallard right there, there's you guys.

492
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: I think the one difference between you two, though, is

493
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: that when you guys exchange text messages and correct me

494
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. But Tom always finds the punctuation marks

495
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: that are wrong with the Ben's text messages, of the

496
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: misspelling or the grammar mistakes. I used to do that,

497
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: but now people a lot of times, including myself, will

498
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: use talk to text, and sometimes that can be a

499
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: you know I had recently, I'm texting with a friend,

500
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: a younger friend who needs some mentoring and happens to

501
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: be gay, and so at the end of the and fat.

502
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: So at the end of the text message, I wrote,

503
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: I love my gay brothers and it and it transplates

504
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean I said that, and I hit said and

505
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: it said I love my fat brother and uh right.

506
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: And he's very sensitive about his weight, so that sometimes

507
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: that talk to text doesn't go too well. Yeah, yeah,

508
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: you do. You do that all the time, and U

509
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: it's always I mean, there's words completely and you never

510
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: check like when I do voice to text, like I'm

511
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: a better person than you learning because I'll look at

512
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: it to make sure that the spelling is is accurate

513
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: and that all the time, and because because I'm usually ranting,

514
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: because you know how I talk, and sometimes I rant

515
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: because you've tried to push my buttons. And I'm the

516
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: type of guy where even when I know someone's pushing

517
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: my buttons, I fall for it, even when i know

518
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: it's happening, because I'm an emotional creature. And Ben takes

519
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: advantage of that. To be fair, louny mean some of

520
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: these stories are just low hanging fruit. I mean, they're

521
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: so ridiculous and they don't get reported by the mainstream media.

522
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: So I when I see him, I'm like, oh, this

523
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: is because the cool thing about it's one of the

524
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: good things about social I think social media sucks mostly

525
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: it's like brotal and is as it's like it's like

526
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: the matrix. But one of the cool things is like

527
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: everything's getting documented. Like, for example, earlier this week, we

528
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: had that you know, small it's like a small nuclear

529
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: bomb went out in bay Rout and there were seven

530
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: there were seventeen hundred different camera angles of that thing

531
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: going off. Everyone put their phone on in in bay

532
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: Rout and they were recording. Everyone's got a phone everywhere

533
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: and they're recording this, and he saw the whole explosions wild. Well, yeah,

534
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: I think I would. I would beg that. I would

535
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: think that people in by Root. Remind you that they

536
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a small nuclear bomb. No,

537
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: I said it was the size of a small nuclear pie.

538
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: Wasn't Actually that's when they claimed jumbo shrimp. No, no,

539
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: but then it was it wasn't it manure, I claim

540
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: it was like it was it was a fertilizer bomb. Yes, yeah,

541
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: and they in the they make those in the military.

542
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: They call him daisy cutters where it doesn't it doesn't

543
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: burn everyone to death, but it just blows you, uh

544
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: sixty ft in another direction. Yeah, there was some. You know,

545
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: it is amazing now where we have camera culture everywhere

546
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: in the world and something like somebody can just be

547
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: mundanely pointing their uh, which would normally probably be later

548
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: useless footage, you know, at a fire and sooner or later,

549
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: when you run out of memory, that's something you get

550
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: rid of. But instead, you know, you know, sixteen hundred

551
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: tons of fertilizer blows up and you've got yourself on

552
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: the Worldwide Web worldwide to catch live editions of The

553
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,240

554
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: pm Pacific. Yeah, it's it's it's insane. Now. I mentioned

555
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: we we briefly did a morning show, the Mallard and

556
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Looney Morning Show or Luny and Malley whatever we called

557
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: it there, and I think I'm here I had my

558
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: name first in the history of l A radio. I

559
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: think that show and I don't think I'm being braggadocious

560
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: here Looney had the same cultural impact as rick D's

561
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: in the morning, Mark and Brian, Kevin and Bean. It

562
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: was like it was right. It was a shorter show

563
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: than those shows. We didn't have as long run as

564
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: those guys, but that the impact we had on society

565
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: is a local l A morning show was right up

566
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: there with Kevin and Being Mark and Brian and Ricky's.

567
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: You would agree with that, Yes, I would agree that.

568
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: When I walk into a seven eleven. It's the number

569
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: one question I got when people recognize and they recognize you,

570
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, the lonely when they recognize you, they say, hey,

571
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: I got a I got a problem with my back tooth.

572
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: Can you take a look at it? Can you? Can

573
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: you take a look? That's what happens now. Yes, yeah,

574
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: Or they say, hey, are you the I from the

575
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: best damn sports show period with Tom Arnold? Are you

576
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: that guy? Are you the guy who did that used

577
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: to have at the drive through? Yeah? People would people

578
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: would recognize it because if I'm she was for the

579
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: drive do they recognize Yes? Yes. In fact, one of

580
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: my favorite no no, not from the radio, but I

581
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: I was on the sports list. I think it was

582
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: called with Summer Sanders on Fox Sports Network that air.

583
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I taped this thing. It was a vignette show where

584
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: you know they did like the Top ten so and

585
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: so this is in the early two thousand's, probably like

586
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: two thousand three, two thousand four. So I I taped

587
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: this in like two days. This thing aired for like

588
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: eight years, and I was I was in line. I

589
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: was living over in the apartment in Hollywood. I was

590
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: at the Kentucky Fried Chicken getting popcorn chicken. I still

591
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: remember what I was getting. I was getting popcorn chicken

592
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Beverly. Actually not on Beverley,

593
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: it was on it was on third, third, third, it

594
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: was what was what's the street? He was on Houser,

595
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: What's the third It's just below Beverly anyway, whatever the

596
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: street was right near the grove over there. And and

597
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: so I'm in line of Camci ordering my popcorn chicken,

598
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: and the guy they happen to have the show on,

599
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: he recognized me from the sports list and uh, and

600
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: he was like all excited. I was like, I was awesome,

601
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: it's great. He didn't give me the food free, but

602
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: he was very excited. I was like, you're excited by that.

603
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: That's wild. My favorite about you being recognized was when

604
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: you would go into the gym every night, late night

605
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: to do cardio and the guy, the guy, the unfriendly

606
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: guy working in front, would never say hello back to you,

607
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: and it became this. You were fascinated by this, how

608
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: this guy could be so unfriendly. Then the guy saw

609
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:54,560

615
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: you know. When I was dating, I never and I

616
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: would never even say I did radio because people, you know,

617
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: they think, you know, they foolishly a lot of people

618
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: think we make a ton of money, and some people do,

619
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: but I don't, And so I would never when I

620
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: was dating going on this, I would never even say

621
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I was on the radio. I would say something else

622
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: because I didn't want them to get the wrong impression.

623
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: You know, be phony. I hated that. I can't stay.

624
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: I still can't stand phony people. They bother me you're loony, Bob.

625
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: How dare you? How dare you? Oh? Well, yeah, I say,

626
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: I just it was one of those that, uh was

627
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of unforgettable because I could just picture you. It

628
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: was perfect time for you to stick it right back. Yeah. Yeah.

629
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: But as you as you know, I like to hold

630
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: the grudge as you as you know, I enjoy holding. Yes,

631
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: you're much more. I stay mad five minutes. You stay

632
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: mad about five years. No, no, I listen. There are

633
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: people at that screwed me over. I I have a list,

634
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: I have. I admitted I got a list. I keep believeing. Now.

635
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: We did the bless How long did we do? About

636
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: seven years? Was it seven years? Seven years? Every Sunday

637
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: six hours? Actually it was more. Sometimes it was even

638
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: more than that. And we do the NFL scores. I

639
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: love that show. That was one of the most enjoyable

640
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: times of my career. I loved it. We had so

641
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: much fun on that show. I missed it. It was

642
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: a great The thing was one of the top icing

643
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: on the kick was the fact that we would be

644
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: watching those games anyway, because it was the NFL and

645
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: so we would be home watching it, but instead we

646
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: were in a studio watching the games, getting paid to

647
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: watch the NFL and bloviate our opinions. Now, the first

648
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: three hours were great radio because it was just you

649
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: and May. But then and sometimes during the first three hours,

650
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: what was also cool as we would get to uh

651
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: interview real broadcast, just like Dick Stockton and the IK

652
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: Troy When and Chris Myers and guys that called the

653
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: game Joe back then. Then the show went right down

654
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: the toilet because after one the earlier, the one o'clock

655
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: games on the East Coast would be ending at four

656
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern, and then we wouldn't have to interview athletes,

657
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: and the show went right down the toilet. When those

658
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: zombies came on the show and ruined the whole thing, Yeah,

659
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: it was it was you would This is a reference

660
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: for you as a TV Dennis Louni. It was like

661
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: pulling teeth to try to do these those interviews. And

662
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: I'll never forget you had one of the great moments.

663
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: And I give you full credit when you go into

664
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: the Radio TV Museum some day, Looney, they gotta put

665
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: this on your plaque. You figured out we were so

666
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: frustrated because we were trying to ask really good questions

667
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: about the game and in depth questions, and we were

668
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: trying to really sound, you know, as good as we

669
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: could with these guys and be relatable to these players.

670
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: And you had an epiphany. You figured out that you

671
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: have to dumb it down when you're interviewing athletes after

672
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: NFL games. And remember we went you picked up my

673
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: favorite website, sports cliche dot com, and you just would

674
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: feed them the most basic what it's like. You didn't

675
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: even have to watch any of the game or even

676
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: look at the box score. Just you just had to

677
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: do the final You had to know the final score,

678
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: and you would ask them you really remember one you

679
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: really bought today that was outstanding. I have those questions

680
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm just waiting for it to load. Yes, okay,

681
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: you guys looked yourself in the mirrorge stepped up and

682
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: brought your a game today. Hey, it is what it is.

683
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: You guys did what you had to do. I just

684
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: started reading. They weren't even questions that the statement, and

685
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: they would be off and running. It was like speaking.

686
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: I would speak and the reson it resonated LOODI. They

687
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: were like, Yeah, that's my man, that's right, Yeah, I

688
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: didn't bring my a game today. I got another one here.

689
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: You came to play. You are on your game. You

690
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: really must be happy. You proved you were the better

691
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: teams today. And the coolest part which made it even

692
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: better is you would ask the question. You would turn

693
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: your mic off and then start laughing like you nobody

694
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: thinks I'm funnier than me, right, so turn off the

695
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: I would turn off my microphone, but yours would still be.

696
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: I know, and you can hear me laughing at my

697
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: own material we're listening to, like Ben Jarvis green ellis

698
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: give an answer and Loony's laughing hysterically. And I'm sure

699
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna use this win as a stepping stone to

700
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: the next level. You guys known a lot of poison

701
00:38:53,120 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: right out there this afternoon. It was really us about

702
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: a confidence booster for you. It was. It was hilarious.

703
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: Now we remember we had a producer and I'm not

704
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna name the producer who booked a player that has

705
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: speech impediment twice on the two weeks in a row.

706
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row. Now, I give it got

707
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: credit because you know, most people, if you have a

708
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: speech impediment's very It's tough, right, I mean, why would

709
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: you do a radio interview and we this guy I

710
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: don't know you should say the name or not of

711
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: the guy, but he was one of the top players

712
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL, probably going to the Hall of Fame,

713
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: but he never was interviewed. I remember we were like,

714
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: why we never hear from this guy? Remember like a

715
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: Kaiser associate type of character, where you he was just

716
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: this great football player. You would he was like a coyote,

717
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: you know, coyote you here, they exist and you never

718
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: see them, but every once in a while you're cats missing,

719
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: you know. He was like that. He was just charing

720
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: this great player in the NFL that you hear about,

721
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: you see, but you never hear his name, you never

722
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: hear him speaking. And then we found out why, Yeah

723
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: it was. And then I remember the second week when

724
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: we he told us in our head said hey, we

725
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: got you know, player X it's coming back, and we were,

726
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, you know, because not only that it

727
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: was the first year of the show, Yeah it was.

728
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: It was it was a producer that we weren't sure

729
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: we were going to get along with. Well you didn't

730
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: get along with yeah, Well, in his defense he got

731
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: along with no one that is that is true. He

732
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: one of the great carduns of all time. Did you

733
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: guys at least any did you guys have any coaches

734
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: or players that would sniff this out with you guys

735
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: though from what you guys are doing, Oh, oh, Ludi,

736
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: remember we had, Oh this is great. This is one

737
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: of the funniest moments about the Blitz too. We would

738
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: interview the broadcasters from Fox and they had the different

739
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: former coaches and players. Well, well, sometimes we would have to,

740
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: as Larney would say, prerecord you love that live on tape.

741
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: We would have to do an interview during a commercial break,

742
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: and we had in the queue, as they say, we

743
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: had one of these commentators from Fox on and we

744
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: was also who was also a big time coach, Yes,

745
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: very successful coach at the different everything I praised it

746
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: more accurately, big time coach. Alright, alright, not a successful coach,

747
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: a big time name, not successful and had a lot

748
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: of good jobs, shall we say, had a lot of

749
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: good jobs. So anyway, so anyway, okay, all right, calm

750
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: down over there, Cowboys're not talking about so so we

751
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: were just imagine me and Louoni are in there. We're

752
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: in the commercial break. We're getting ready preparing to do

753
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: this interview. The guys in the queue so we can

754
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: hear him. He can't hear us because our mics are off,

755
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: and we overheard him. I'm paraphrasing here, Louni, but he

756
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: this guy said he at the time of a successful

757
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: career in football, he was gonna funk with us. Remember

758
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: he was gonna funk around with us because he did

759
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: having to do the interview and he was just gonna

760
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: goof with us. That was what he said, and we

761
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: had what a way to go into an interview loony.

762
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: We also had another one. There was a famous Sila

763
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: pretty sideline reporter. So I'm not talking about a guy

764
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: and a famous pretty sideline reporter. We won't say her name.

765
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: We were just wondering before she came on with us,

766
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: as if she had ever heard me doing impressions of

767
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: her on the air, which I always did, and um,

768
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: once she came on with us, we realized she had

769
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: heard me, yeah, and did not have much of a

770
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: sense of humor, did not have a you know, that

771
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: self deprecating thing. She did not have possessed that self

772
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: deprecating humor. She did not have that. You know, Big Ben,

773
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: my friend the president of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Derek Hall.

774
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: He he used to be a sports talk show host

775
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and he did impressions of me, and

776
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: it was the only person I ever remember hearing doing

777
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: an impression of me. I was blown. I was so flattered,

778
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 1: And so I'm so surprised when people hear another person

779
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: doing an impression of them and they're not flattered that

780
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: someone took the time, Yeah listen and can do their voice.

781
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: But she was not flattered. Yeah, now she was not.

782
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: She had no sense of humor, which was really disappointed.

783
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: He would have been so much more fun if she

784
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: had a sense of humor. She also, as I remember,

785
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: it was really kind of uncomfortable when I asked like

786
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: x is and those questions, you remember, I asked some

787
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: questions that too. She didn't want to talk about herself

788
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: and she didn't want to talk about football. What the

789
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: hell do you have anybody? I know? I mean, it

790
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: made no sense. And then of all the celebrities that

791
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: we had on from Fox that were forced to do

792
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: this that you know, they was part of the deal

793
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: we had and they had to come on and remember

794
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: the coolest guy, and I think to this day the

795
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: greatest radio guests, Kurt Warner. Remember he called up like

796
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: an hour for the show or whatever to make sure

797
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: he would be there on time. It was why we

798
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: usually had us had to track them down, right, But

799
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,479
Speaker 1: he called in early. Yeah, yeah, he called it early.

800
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: And you you you asked him one of the most

801
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: famous questions, Louning. You remember when you asked him about

802
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: the airport there. Yeah, it was a great comeback he had,

803
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: because how many years did we play that drop? Thank

804
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: you Jesus? When people see you in airports? Do they

805
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: say thank you Jesus? And he said, no, they say

806
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: thank you Kurt. Yeah, he was, really he was. They're

807
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: making a movie about Kurt Warner. I think they're making

808
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: another movie. It's coming out in the next You should

00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: Did you just call me a twink or a twig? Twig?

Speaker 1: It's a twig, I said, out there you okay? Speaking

821
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: before I forget. One of my other favorite stories about

822
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: the Blitz was we I think we named the engineer, right,

823
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: we can name the guy. He's not around anymore. We

824
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: can name he's still no one of my other gigs.

825
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: I still work with him. Really. Oh, it depends on

826
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: which depends on which one his initials are. His last

827
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: name a famous soup. Uh No, it starts with an s.

828
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: His last name, all right, Steve Stillwell. So Steve Stillwell

829
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: was our engineer on the on the Blitz. And there's

830
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of stories about this guy. He was a

831
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: real character. And he's back. He was back in Virginia now,

832
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: I believe, or something like that. And he's like a college.

833
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: He teaches broadcasting. I think he's teaching broadcasting. God love him.

834
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to when you say he teaches. I know,

835
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know. But anyway, I liked the guy.

836
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: He was a good guy and he meant he meant well.

837
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: And so he was the engineer on the Blitz. And

838
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: I remember he flew back to New York and he

839
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: missed one of our our football shows on a Sunday.

840
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: And and in those days, I don't know if this

841
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: is still the case, but it was like Jet Blue.

842
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: You could listen to Fox Sports Radio as you flew right.

843
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: They had a bunch of day channels and Fox Sports radios,

844
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: which was really cool to think you could be, you know,

845
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: thousand feet up in the air or whatever and you're

846
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: listening to our show. And so he listened to The

847
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: Blitz on a flight from l a X to like JFK.

848
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: And he then when he got back, he remember, he

849
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: told us that he listened and then he complained, he cut,

850
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: he critiqued the show, not even realized this is the show.

851
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: And he said he because he was a whiner, so

852
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: he was he would he didn't talk, He just whined

853
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: when he spoke. Kind of affectations. He says, listens a

854
00:46:55,080 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: Blitz for six hours of the same thing over, Yeah,

855
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: that's that's the show. It's the scores over and over again.

856
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: Alight gets to see if the show wasn't done for

857
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: people flying across alright, so people are there, they're screaming

867
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:55,239

868
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: cb A collected? Are you cb A? So it sounds

869
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: like I'm on the inside you know that ship. So anyway,

870
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,640

872
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: game show. Remember I did a game show. Now we

Speaker 1: couple of pictures and smudge out the new name. They

875
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: tweaked the game show. It's got a new aspect to it.

876
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: Kept me on as the host, and so we do

878
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: it's canceled culture. Hopefully this won't be canceled. Oh wow,

879
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a game show host like Steve Harvey,

880
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: Tom Looney game show host. Why it's like Steve Harvey

881
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: and a lot of the other grades over the years, Gene,

882
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: remember Jean ray Bird And there was Bob Barker. Yes,

00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: that that little needle hit one. Yeah, he had that,

884
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: Bob Barker, that little needle microphone that he had famously. Yes, yeah,

885
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: Bob Barker Stone. I was at a radio college radio convention.

886
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: Imagine how it's terrible that must have been when I

887
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: was his saddleback and Bob Barker was the keynote speaker.

888
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,399

00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 1: days and radio and the transition to television and all that.

891
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: But it was funny because at the time he was involved,

892
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: there was some scandal with one of the models on

893
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,120

894
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: he was. The scandal was good for his career because

895
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: he was like seventy and we're like I know everyone

896
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,040

Speaker 1: might be Amazon Prime. But to go on, you know

903
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,439
