In fact, 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: when I first got into the business, every day I 18 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: was paranoid, was like, oh, this is my last day 19 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: in radio. I'll never work in radio again. This is it, 20 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, because there's a lot of turmoil in the business. 21 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: At some stations I worked at on my way up, 22 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: and so I was like, Wow, this isn't gonna lasted. 23 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: And here we are, all these years later, still doing 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: what we love, talking into microphones.

And most of my favorite sports movies are 38 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: a byproduct of when I was a kid watching sports movies, 39 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: so they're old. But the one I love and I 40 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: laugh at it's a comedy, Major League. The lines in 41 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: that hilarious.

Now I'm kidding. Uh. 59 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: We also grew up with having the Natural role on 60 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: a VHS tape and we played that movie a lot. 61 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: Shouts out to Robert Redford. That final scene where the 62 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: lights are exploding over the stadium. We would play that 63 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: back over and over. That was just the coolest moment. 64 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Also when he knocked the cover off the ballot to 65 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: cover off the raw kid. And of course the music 66 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: that was a big part of that great instrumental that 67 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: din and I used to play that natural music a 68 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: lot on your show when I was running your equipment. Jokingly, 69 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: when we talk about a guy in a slump, I 70 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: would play the natural music background. Right, I mean, that 71 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: is well done. I wanted I wanted a New York 72 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Nights hat and jersey when I was and it was 73 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: hard to You couldn't get it. Now you can get it, 74 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: but back then it was hard to get and I 75 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: was like, wow, that's awesome, and I wanted to remember. 76 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: When I got a little older, I was like, I 77 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: want to go to the stadium they filmed that in 78 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: where they that the scene where the the light exploded, 79 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: and I looked it up and they filmed it at 80 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: this old stadium in Buffalo which got torn down unfortunately, 81 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: so it's no longer. It was like twenty years ago, 82 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: and he got torn down way before that, so that 83 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: kind of bummed me out. That was the number one 84 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: sports movie for us, and I would say the number 85 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: one football movie was Rudy. We had that on a 86 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: VHS tape. Oh yeah, Rudy Routing whatever his name was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 87 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: I saw that. Although the guys, the guys that played 88 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: on that noted name team said that a lot of 89 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: that movie was bullshit. He said, a bunch of buzz kills, 90 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: Buck you, Joe Montana, you Old Grant and one of 91 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: these it Mike Golic, one of the Goloks who was 92 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: on that team. All right, uh, next up on the mailbag, 93 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: Ozzy was from Western Australia, right, so, and he says, hey, 94 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: Big Ben and Danny g My question is for your 95 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: line of work and I'm guessing no with Coope the 96 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: Loop working there and maybe Roberto for his love of 97 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: beer in Tequila. So he says, every morning Ozzy was 98 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: when he shows up to work at about five thirty, 99 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: he has to blow into a breath alyizer and then 100 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: he takes a drug test every couple of days. He says, 101 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: he's not singled out. This is across the board in 102 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: his line of work, around the state he's in in Australia. 103 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: Have you ever had to do this? So, yes, I have. 104 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Ozzy was I back in the day and when I 105 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: got my first job in radio in San Diego, I 106 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: had to go to a clinic in North County and 107 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: I had to be tested for for drugs before they 108 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: would hire me. That was also the last time I 109 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: believe I was tested anywhere I've worked. So that's a 110 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: long that's by twenty five years ago. It's been a 111 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: long time, and I have not been actually way more 112 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: than crap long long ago. Let's just say long long ago. 113 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, Have you been tested at any 114 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: of the radio jobs you've had over the year. Yeah. 115 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: There was a California radio station that I used to 116 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: be on the air force, and they drug tested all 117 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: of us and they went off the air in a 118 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: month's smoke. Weed. It was that correct, Dandy was a 119 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Once marijuana was legalized in California. I guess you know 120 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: they're still drug testing for like for the school, for instance, 121 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: I had to pee in a cup for them a 122 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: few months back. They were not testing for marijuana, though 123 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: they were testing for other hard drugs, which for guys 124 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: like us, we're gonna worry about anything like that. But 125 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: for radio, if they tested for marijuana, say, say marijuana 126 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: was not legal in California, there would not be one 127 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: radio station that would test for it because half their 128 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: staff would be missing. Yeah, it would be a problematic 129 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: situation for for sure. Ozzy was also points that he 130 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: called up the other night and he said the state 131 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: of Western Australia, which is where he lives out in 132 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: in the Aussie country, not on the ocean. He's out 133 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: there in the in the desert land. He says, a 134 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: little under a third of the United States in terms 135 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: of the size, and reference to the phone conversation that 136 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: he had the other day. Yet I'd seen something on 137 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: the internet that said that Texas and Alaska would fit 138 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: in Western Australia. It's that big, which is just mind blowing. 139 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: You don't you know, I don't think. I know Australia 140 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: is pretty large, but you don't think it's that large 141 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: that apparently it is so and not many people live. 142 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of kangaroos, and there's guys like Ozzy 143 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: Waz who's out there working, and there's not a lot 144 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: of folks living. You wonder, in like a hundred years 145 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: to hundred years will people start moving out to that? 146 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: Is it that desolate? They don't want to nobody wants 147 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: to live there or will we see population boom in 148 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: that part of Australia. Pretty rugged and not a lot 149 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: of he sent me Azzi Waza sent me photos of 150 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: the road. There's like dirt roads. I mean, it's it's 151 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: really primitive in that part of Australia. Next up, Mike 152 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: from Fullerton rights in on the mail bag. He says, 153 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: do either of you ever see yourselves spending New Year's 154 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: Eve in down the line in Times Square, surrounded by 155 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: freezing people wearing diapers just to see a dumb ball drop? 156 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, no, I'm I think I'm past that, maybe 157 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: when I was younger, because he's like, I pick up chicks, 158 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, go out there and all that, right, that 159 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: whole thing, pick up girls. But I don't need to 160 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: do that anymore. And uh no, And and my brother 161 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: and most of the like locals in Manhattan they get 162 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: the hell out of there. That's they don't want to 163 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: even be in the city on New Year's Eve. They 164 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: go somewhere else. They don't want to be part of that. 165 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: They're like that. That's all tourists and out of towners. 166 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: That's what that is.

You're not supposed to know how you make 268 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: the hot dogs. But but usually I try to throw 269 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: a few things together in a bullet points when I'm 270 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: doing the the Mallard monologue and whatnot and which direction 271 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I want to go, and uh, it's just another way 272 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: to keep you engaged. The reason I started doing that, 273 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: I haven't done it my entire career, but the reason 274 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: I've done that for a long time, I feel like 275 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: it's more enjoyable. I try to try to, you know, 276 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: think you're you're listening, and if I throw a couple 277 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: of words out and then you're listening and then you 278 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: hear those words, it's like it's like a jigsaw puzzle 279 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: and audio jigsaw puzzle and putting the pieces together and 280 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: where I'm going. And so that's why I started doing that, 281 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: just to try to crank it up a little bit 282 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: and they get a little bit more enjoyable for the 283 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: listener and hopefully it has crossed over now, Danny G. 284 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: What about your rolodecks there, Danny G.

Though. 332 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: The name is a big deal, right, I feel like 333 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: people people morph into the name, like you grow into 334 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: the name. And it's like, you know, if you have 335 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: a daughter, you don't necessarily want to give her a 336 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: stripp her name because you'll probably end up, you know, 337 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: going down that direction. You know, you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, 338 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: you know, you give your your son and kind of 339 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: a nerdy name, he'll most likely be a nerd. I 340 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: hate when couples picked the name far in advance, like 341 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: we can't wait for baby Chase to get here. Three, 342 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: Baby Kyler is on its way. Baby oh um, what's 343 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: the name that's popular? Tie?

I gotta look at the little alien and 350 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: then assess what name fits. Yeah, And there's also the 351 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: thing where, like the names, there's a certain number of 352 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: generations and then that the old name has become new again, 353 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, like a certain amount of time there and 354 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: then it's like it's like not that it's a hair 355 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: brained scheme, but over the course of generations, what's old 356 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: becomes new again, that new again, that stuff. So Covino 357 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: talks about this on the air because his first name 358 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: is Steve, and he's like, it sounds like such an 359 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: old dude's name now, Steve. Yeah, Like, well, when I 360 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I there was no one 361 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: named Ben. I was so piste off. When I was 362 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: a kid, I was like, this is the dumbest name 363 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: in the world, Like, there's no famous people named Ben. 364 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: And I wanted an athlete named Ben, and there were none. 365 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: There was yar oh. When I was a little I 366 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: was like, well there was what there was Ben Ogilvie, 367 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: who was an outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers. You also 368 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: had the Olympic runner that good. Yeah it was Ben Johnson, right, 369 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: But there weren't But there weren't very many like now 370 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: as I have aged, Like there was twenty years of 371 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. There was Ben Wallace, fear the Froe with 372 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: the pistons, like these are the big time guys. But 373 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, it was like there was 374 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: the dog movies, Benji the Dog. There was that, and 375 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: there was like just a couple of famous but there's 376 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: hardly anybody named Ben. And then there was a stretch 377 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: where there was it kind of became cool the name 378 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: people Brent Ben. Now it's not really cool anymore. And 379 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: but there's some names that are like classic. There's also 380 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: when I was young, like a bunch of people named Michael. 381 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: But I think Michael is still a popular name. I 382 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: don't think that's gone out of style. I think there's 383 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: a lot of Michael still. Danny is another thing. I 384 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: think Danny's a name that's still has held up over 385 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: the years, and people still name their kids Danny in 386 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: the mainstream. The microphone throttler, all right. Next up, Nick 387 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin says Ben and Danny g Ben rants a 388 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 1: lot about athletic prime. What I want to know is, 389 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: what at what age do you guys think you we're 390 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: at your peak of your athletic ability also been we 391 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: haven't heard a nickname Rundown in a while, so as 392 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: far as now, let's address this hold on. As far 393 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: as the athletic prime, I would have to say, in 394 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: my mid twenties, when I played in the media game 395 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium and hit hit up all off the wall, 396 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: halfway up the wall with a Wooden Corey Snyder bat, 397 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 1: they nicknamed me Benning the Bopper at that point, and uh, 398 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: an amazing accomplishment. Everyone said, if I had used the 399 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: metal bat would have been a home run at Dodger Stadium. 400 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: I heard it was a looper, and so they called 401 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: you Benny the Blooper. I know, Benny the Bopper. Then 402 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: that around that same time, the l A Clippers had 403 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: a media media game Bill Fitch, Hall of Fame coach. 404 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: The coach Fitch passed away somewhat recently, they had a 405 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: media game and I played in this media game and 406 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: I was huffing and puffing, running up and backing down 407 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: the court and built Fitch, God Rest his soul. He 408 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: blew his whistle in front of all of the players 409 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: on the court. He pulls me aside and says. He says, Ben, 410 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: You're lucky you're working radio because you're the worst player 411 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: I've ever coached. And uh, I mean he was. He 412 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: was having fun. He was tongue in cheek and it. 413 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: But it was so great because I went up and 414 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute. You coached Larry fucking 415 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: Bird with the Celtics. You were a Celtic coach with Larry, 416 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: You coached a chem Elijah On with the Rockets. These 417 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: are the very top players you coached, and I'm the 418 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: worst player you coach. So you always remember your top 419 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: and you always remember your bottom. So you remember you 420 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: remember Larry Bird, Elijah On and Mallard at the very bottom. 421 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: So that was my athletic prime. What about you, Danny? 422 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: When was your athletic prime? And by the way, your 423 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: nickname for that, Speaking of nicknames, you almost had a 424 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: heart attack on the floor, So you were Benny the 425 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: bypass bypassed Betty. They called me Um. You know, I 426 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: guess I would go then man later than you, because 427 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: you know it was competitive, but it was high arc softball. 428 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: But in my thirties I was playing in a Lake 429 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: Balboa league where we won the city trophy and my 430 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: team man. We had a bunch of sluggers on the team. 431 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: I led the team and hits. I was a pole hitter. Ben. 432 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: I would always pull the ball down the third baseline. 433 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: I lead the Eamon doubles, and I had a couple 434 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: of game winning hits walk offs. It was a spectacular year. 435 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: I want to say that this was two thousand and ten. 436 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: We got to hold up the City Trophy. That was 437 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: a fun, fun year. And that was the peak of 438 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: athleticism for me. And you've since retired from that, You've 439 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: moved on. Is that? Yeah? You know it was like 440 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: three times a week at night, and once my schedule changed, 441 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: when I started working on your show, that's when I 442 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: gave up my glorious softball career. Understand understandable. And you know, 443 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't know that we have time for the nickname Rundown. 444 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: But if we did have time for the nickname Rundown, 445 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: Bill Miller, you would know that among my nicknames, I've 446 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: been called the Baron of Baldadash, big gold bladder, sexual. 447 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: Ben is the mess boy captain and look at the time, No, no, no, 448 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: look at the it's nuts and meat, That's what it is. 449 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: The Duke of the north Woods, General of Degenerates, Tycoon 450 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: of the Master of Disaster, the Hustler of Philip, night 451 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Light of Nightlife, Pummeler of Producers, Benny Brightside, the Manity 452 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: of Insanity, Mark Cony Mallard, money Line Mallard, Emissary of Embellishment, 453 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: week Night Windbag, Wizard of Whacky, Slayer of Naysayers, the 454 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: Grand Goober of gab but I I want to mount it. 455 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: The Oligarch of Dark Tower of babble On, slap me 456 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: around a little bit, honest Adonist, nocturnal Colonel, the underdog 457 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: of monologue, and the Holy Pope.
