On this podcast, we will have 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: straight A's stormwatch a Gangsters Paradise, much other random random 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: observations from the last few days, as we are known 32 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: to do on this podcast, but I thought we'd start 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: with this. Back on Thursday, Danny, they played the final 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: game ever in Oakland. There will never be another baseball 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: team likely in Oakland again. The Athletics played and there 36 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: was some vandalism, but it wasn't nearly like what we 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: thought was going to be. It was rather rather controlled. 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: Of course, the Oakland Police had like one hundred and 39 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: fifty officers or something like that out there. They had 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: six hundred security guards. I mean, it was over the top, 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: but I watched some of it. I was busy. I 42 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: couldn't watch the whole game, but I watched some of it. 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: And I'm not an A's fan. I talked about it 44 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: on the Overnight Show a little bit, but it just 45 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: bums me out when these teams relocate and it just 46 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: seems so unnecessary to me. I don't run the business 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: side of these things, but it just seems like they 48 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: really effed it up. And I had some stories some 49 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to share here about my experience with the A's. 50 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: I was a radio stringer way back way back in 51 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: the day, many many years ago, when I was starting 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: out in radio, one of my first jobs. And so 53 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: back in those days before the Internet, in the Stone Age, 54 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: they would use a reporter to call in and you 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: have updates on the game and to get audio after 56 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: the game. So I did that for several years before 57 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I became a talk show host full time, and in 58 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: that time I covered the Dodgers and the Angels and 59 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: all the teams in LA and I got a phone 60 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: call from some executive for the Oakland Athletics. It's probably 61 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: the late nineties, I forget exactly what year, but he's like, Hey, 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: we're looking for somebody in Anaheim to do this thing. 63 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: We were a sponsor and we want a live update 64 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: from the Big A when the A's are on the 65 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: West Coast. So I was like, yeah, I mean I'll 66 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: do it. It's a paying gig. Of course I'll do it. 67 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: And so I did that for a couple of years. 68 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: It was called the Coca Cola like Road Report or 69 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: something like that. It was like PEPSI was the sponsor 70 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: and It was a long time ago, but I got 71 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: a check every month from the Oakland Athletics and it 72 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: was it was you know when you get those checks, Danny, 73 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to actually spend the money because it's 74 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: so cool to have the actual paper check. Well, it 75 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot. 76 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: Of money, it wasn't hard to save it. 77 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: Then well, they don't even have checks like this anymore. 78 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: It was it was just a check that had the 79 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: Oakland A's logo on it and it said from the 80 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: Oakland Baseball Club or whatever. And so I like, well, man, 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm on the A's payroll. I mean, this is all 82 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: eighty nine cents. Yeah, I'm getting like, you know, fifty 83 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: bucks a game or something like that. But whatever it was, 84 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: and I don't even think it was that much. So 85 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: I did it and then became kind of friendly with 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: some of the guys worked on the broadcast. And so 87 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: then when the A's would come to Anaheim, I would 88 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: hang out in the A's broadcast booth. They would they 89 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: would welcome me in, and it was really just a 90 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: wonderful experience as a radio nerd to see how the 91 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: broadcasts were done. And I had heard as a kid 92 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: and I thought I was gonna be Ben Scully, but 93 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: I would listen to far away broadcasts of different different teams, 94 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: and I would get the Giants out of the Bay Area. 95 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I could scan the AM 96 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: dial and find a grainy, faraway feed of the Athletics, 97 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: but it wasn't normally from Oakland. It was like a 98 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: station in Fresno or something would come in where I live. 99 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: So I heard Bill King. I had heard him a 100 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: lot on NFL films from his work with the Raiders, 101 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: but he was a by play guy for the Athletics, 102 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: and I met him and hung out with him off 103 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: and on when I was at those games. And Ken Korak. 104 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: Yeah there was also Ray Fosse. Yeah. 105 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: Ray was doing TV at that time, so I was 106 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: in the radio booth. But it was It was great, 107 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: and I have one of my favorite stories, just absolutely crazy. 108 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: It was an August game in Anaheim, very hot. The 109 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: A's were not a playoff team, the Angels were not 110 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: a playoff team, so I'm The way it worked is 111 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: the broadcasters sat in the front row and I sat 112 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: in the second row, and I had the stats and 113 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: the scores out of town scoreboard before before the internet again, 114 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: So I was updating the scoreboard for the guy who 115 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: dubbed it. So I'm sitting there and it's like the 116 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: I know, it was the third inning. They were switching 117 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: broadcast role, so it was like the end of the 118 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: third inning, and then ken Korak was going to take over. 119 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: So Bill King gets up and he walks up a 120 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: couple of stairs behind me, and there's a lot of 121 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: room there and and ken Korak jokingly said, well, Bill's 122 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: going to get down to his underwear now, and I thought, well, 123 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: that's funny, you know, that's that's pretty funny. And hand 124 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: to God Bill King. And he was an old man 125 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: at that, I mean, he didn't live much longer than that. 126 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: I don't know when he passed away, but you know, 127 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: it was the ninety So he took off his pants. 128 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: I think he had shorts on. Actually, whatever he wanted, 129 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: he took it off. And he walked back down to 130 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: sit next to Ken and he was in his tidy whities, 131 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: and it was it was wild. Wow, he really did it. 132 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: That's that's nuts. But a very nice man lived on 133 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: a boat, I think in in northern California somewhere, so 134 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: that's my experience. But and I went to a few 135 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: as games, not many. And now you were I think, Nanny, 136 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: you were there much more than I was. I mean, 137 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: you were you spent time in the Bay right when 138 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: you were growing up. 139 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: My mom went from Massachusetts to San Jose with her family, 140 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: as I've talked about before, met my dad in high 141 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: school there in San Jose, and then came down here 142 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: together in Thousand Oaks, California. And then they bought a 143 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: house in Simi Valley before moving to Woodland Hills, so 144 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: they would go to Dodger games. But then they found 145 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: out something about southern California. Ben, even back then you 146 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: could sell your house and make a lot of money 147 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: from it. Absolutely, my mom was telling my dad, I 148 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 3: want to go back up to the Bay. Ben, I'm 149 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: not kidding you. My mom and dad moved back and 150 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: forth from the Bay to LA I can't even count 151 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: on two hands. Got to go to my first Dodger 152 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 3: game listening to Vince Scully when I was in kindergarten, 153 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: really into baseball. When I was twelve, me and my 154 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: older brother would convince our older friend Dion Hawes. Probably 155 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 3: you two when you were kid, you had like that 156 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: one older friend who had a car.

I 164 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: have an old picture where I I'm posing with a 165 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: young Jose Conseco joja By. It was so fun to 166 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: see these guys blossom into major league players in Oakland. 167 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: So we would we would beg Dion, please take us 168 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: to an Oakland game, and once in a while he'd 169 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: be like, all right, you guys, pay for gas and 170 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 3: I'll take you. 171 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, wasn't that expensive back then. 172 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: Not at all. And Dion was one of those cool 173 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 3: kids where he was just a few years older than us. 174 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: He had a nice pickup truck and he had a 175 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: booming system in it. Whenever he would pull up to 176 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 3: our house, he'd be bumping some Eric b and rock him. 177 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: Come on, Pippin, get your tims on. 178 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: My older brother and I we were in kind of 179 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: a weird position being Dodgers fans. But you know, baseball 180 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: is very regional, and especially back then, as you know, Ben, 181 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: we couldn't unless we were surfing the am doll like 182 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: you late at night with an antenna trying to pick 183 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 3: up games and other cities. You weren't getting coverage of 184 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: other Major League Baseball teams the way you were your 185 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: local team. 186 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a stone age. Like I told 187 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: younger people, I'm like, well, I to see, like the 188 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. I had to watch this week in 189 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: baseball and maybe they would show a highlight of the 190 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. 191 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: Maybe you know it. 192 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: It was on sat like Saturday morning, it would be 193 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: this week in baseball. 194 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 3: That's exactly true. If you tried to explain that to 195 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 3: a kid right now, they wouldn't understand at all. So 196 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 3: it was a strange thing. It was like, Eh, we're 197 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: not exactly A's fans, but by family, we're kind of 198 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 3: related to the A's. And we get to the Oakland 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 3: Coliseum in nineteen eighty seven, one of the first A's 200 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 3: games that we attended very late in the year, and 201 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: in fact, it was Reggie Jackson's final home game playing 202 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: in Oakland. 203 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's cool. 204 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: It was very cool now think about it. Reggie Jackson 205 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 3: was literally on his last leg, but he was one 206 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 3: of those guys where, even though he was an old 207 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 3: player at the time, whenever he would come up to 208 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 3: the plate, it was very special because man, he could 209 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: hit a home run, still has power to hit it out. 210 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened on this night. My older brother, 211 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 3: i think, wanted to make this game count. We didn't 212 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: get to go to very many baseball games in general, 213 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: and so he looked around, elbows me and he starts 214 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: a Reggie chant in our section. Okay, And it starts out, 215 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: you know, just him, It's just my brother doing it, 216 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: and he won't shut up. He's one of those annoying 217 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: kids in the stands who's trying to get everybody else 218 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 3: in the stands to follow him. 219 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. 220 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: The little annoying kids where you're like, shut up. 221 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 222 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 3: And my older brother finally gets our section into it, 223 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 3: and our section now is chanting Reggie. Then the section 224 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: next to us picks up on it and they go 225 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 3: and it was kind of like the wave because the 226 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: next thing you know, the entire stadium is chanting Reggie's 227 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: name and Ben that at bat, Reggie knocks one out. 228 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Reggie was bigger than life and all at the 229 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: end of his career. At that time, he was like 230 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: one of the biggest stars in baseball. And now have 231 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: you seen those photos of like Reggie Jackson next to 232 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: the modern slugger, he looks like a backup infielder. But 233 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: when we were younger, I mean, he's amazing. Oh yeah, 234 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson. 235 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean at this point of his life, 236 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: he was like a balding, kind of had a little 237 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 3: bit of a bare belly. Yeah, he looked like a 238 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 3: former player already, even though he was still in a 239 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: major league uniform. 240 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: But Ricky Henderson said about the A's leaving Oakland, he 241 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: was asked if he was sad about it, and he said, 242 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: this is such a classic quote by Ricky Henderson. He says, 243 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: I have too much money to be sad about the 244 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: A's leaving leaving Oakland. Isn't that not on brand? You're 245 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: an ass hat? 246 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: I'm sure other people saw what Jeff Passen wrote the 247 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: other day saying the Oakland A's were killed by greed. 248 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: Don't allow the people responsible for this to spin it 249 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: any other way. John Fisher did not have to move 250 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: the team. Major League Baseball and it's owners did not 251 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 3: need to be complicit in it. This was a choice, 252 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 3: a wrong one. History will sneer. 253 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: Well, what is He's going to make a lot of 254 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: money going to Vegas eventually, But I yeah, I agree 255 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: with the premise. The A's did not have to leave. 256 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: From what I read, Baseball was going to cut off 257 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: essentially all the welfare they were getting, right, That's why 258 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: they left. They had to announce they were leaving because 259 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: they weren't going to get the money from revenue sharing, 260 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: and so that's why they did this when they did it. 261 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, why would Vegas is a great town. I 262 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: love Vegas. I go to Vegas a lot, But Oakland, 263 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, there's more people that live there. 264 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: It's a bigger media market by far than Las Vegas. 265 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: So from that standpoint in terms of television and all 266 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: those things, it is a downgrade. We'll see how it 267 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: plays out, But yeah, I agree, it didn't have to. 268 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: Happen, so didn't have to happen. The only one thing 269 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: I will say, and we've talked about this on our 270 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: podcast before, it is pretty pathetic how they have let 271 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: the city there in the flats of Oakland rot. And 272 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: we've seen over the past couple of weeks people mention 273 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: on their way to Oakland to go to one final 274 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: game how they were disgusted by what it looks like 275 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: surrounding the stadium there. 276 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: Well, I had a call from Lance, the bus driver 277 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: this week. Lance called up. His car was stolen from 278 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: San Francisco, he lives there. He tracked it to a 279 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: neighborhood in Oakland. So calls the cops. He says, I 280 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: know where my car is, and since it was parked 281 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: in a garage, they said, well, there's nothing we can do. 282 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: He said, well, I know where it is. I know 283 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: exactly where the car is. And they wouldn't help him 284 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: at all. And so Lance thinks they're going to use 285 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: his car in one of those neighborhood takeovers, you know 286 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: where they take over the intersection and they ride their 287 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: carton circles and burnouts and all that. 288 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 3: And so, I mean, besides them losing their their sports 289 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: teams there. 290 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: In and out Burger right, they've. 291 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 3: Lost, Oh, they've lost restaurants and businesses to crime. It's 292 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 3: kind of like the wild Wild West. 293 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: It's it's it's pretty bad now. The gangster's Paradise. I'll 294 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: make this quick. But last weekend, Danny a fortieth birthday 295 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: party for a friend of the wife. And when it's 296 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: a friend of the wife, it's a friend of you. 297 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: So I was dragged to Dave and Busters. 298 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: Have you you've. 299 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: Been to David Busters right over the years. 300 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh yeah. We take the kids there sometimes for 301 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: their birthday celebrations. Yeah. 302 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: So they were having a big birthday party and they 303 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: wanted to go to one in a different part of LA, 304 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: but it was all booked up. So they said, all right, 305 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: let's let's go out to Ontario, in the Inland Empire 306 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: in southern California, the Ontario Mills Mall. I think it's fall, 307 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: so we we it's pretty far from what we are. 308 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: We drove out there and a little rough, Danny, a 309 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: little rough. It was, you know, it was a gangster's 310 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: paradise kind of set up. There were a lot of 311 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: shady looking people playing the games, and hey, the Eastern Own. 312 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: As long as they don't bother me whatever, I don't care. 313 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: So they had reserved a table, but we actually when 314 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: we got there, the table wasn't ready because there was 315 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: a party. They told us one of the people in 316 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: our party that the table that we were supposed to 317 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: get the party had been there for seven hours at 318 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: the table at a daven Busters seven hours. 319 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 3: What do you do there for seven hours? 320 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. So we finally 321 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: got a table and we had a group. There were 322 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: probably about twelve of us all together, and we're eating, 323 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: we're enjoying. You know, the food was really not very good, 324 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: but we ate and pretended to like it and all 325 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: that stuff. It's terrible. So whatever I was invited, I said, right, 326 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: I'll go. And so then our waitress or a waiter 327 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: comes over and there was another party right across from us, 328 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: and she's she's in a bad mood, the waitress, and 329 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: I said, oh, what's going on? 330 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 3: Shocker? 331 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: Apparently the group, and this was a group probably twelve 332 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: to fifteen people, grandma, mom, dads, kids, little kids. They 333 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: had eaten for about two hours and then left without 334 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: paying their bill. They just took off and they didn't. 335 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: They didn't pay their bill. We're not paying and they 336 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: didn't eve say any in these percent like they were 337 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: going to play games, and then they left. What are 338 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: you doing? And this was a this had to be 339 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: a ton of money, right. They were drinking alcohol, they 340 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: had everything. 341 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 3: So I got a bunch of losers. 342 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: I know, it's like wild and you were allowed to 343 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: do that in California. I think they don't really care, 344 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, it was. It was interesting that I had 345 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: a good time playing the games. I didn't play too many, 346 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: but but I mentioned yesterday on the podcast that I 347 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: was watching the storm in the South through Florida and 348 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: Carolina's and Georgia and then on the way up. And 349 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: you've also been on storm Watch, right, Danny, this actually 350 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: affected you more than me. 351 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird. I've never followed a hurricane or tracked 352 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 3: one before where it affected me because of where we live, obviously, 353 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: but in this case, we were set on the CNR 354 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: show to broadcast live from the graduate at Hotels and Burn, Alabama, 355 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 3: and it was supposed to be the pregame to the 356 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 3: pregame to the game day the day before their big 357 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 3: game was going to be you know, a lot of 358 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 3: b Auburn fans, a lot of OU fans there in attendance, 359 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 3: as well as you know, people in the region who 360 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: listened to the Coveno and Rich show. There had been 361 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: a lot of fans of the show that had RSVP'd, 362 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: and the hotel was really excited to have the broadcast there. 363 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,959 Speaker 3: And then we start looking at the travel plans and 364 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 3: we were scheduled to fly into Atlanta. We would have 365 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: been landing in Atlanta right as the eye of the 366 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: hurricane was over Georgia. We were tracking that to see 367 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: if it was going to change. We get to Wednesday 368 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: and Rich is pacing the halls of FSR, telling me 369 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 3: in Coveno if we should fly into the eye of 370 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 3: the storm. And I'm like, it's all right, dude, will 371 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: be all right, and he's like, yeah, but even if 372 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: we wouldn't we land, we're going to be driving in 373 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: it because once we got to Atlanta, we were going 374 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 3: to get a rental car drive for ninety minutes to 375 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 3: get to Auburn in Alabama. 376 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: Of course, I only ninety minutes out of Atlanta. I 377 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: thought it was further. 378 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, not a long drive from Atlanta, but 379 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 3: it would have been an interesting drive through a hurricane. Finally, 380 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: what happens is Dan Beyer live on our show does 381 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: breaking news the Braves and Mets were canceled. Uh oh, 382 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: we better talk to our boss Scott. So we do 383 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 3: a group chat and we tell Scott, hey, you know us, 384 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: we're all in, but the games are being canceled. Now. 385 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 3: Not sure how many of our listeners are going to 386 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 3: be able to attend this live broadcast. Yeah, yeah, that 387 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: was one thing. We were all focused on our travel, 388 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: obviously trying to fly into that area. But then when 389 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: we really stopped and thought about it, we were like, 390 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 3: wait a second, if Georgia is declaring state of emergency 391 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 3: and we're trying to fly in, aren't the other people 392 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: trying to fly out or drive out? At that point, 393 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: our boss got a hold of the client and talked 394 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: to the people in charge to the Graduate hotels, and 395 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 3: they decided we better call this a. 396 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: Couple of other Auburn games that you can go to. 397 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's you know, because the powers out from 398 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: when I was reading the Powers out all over you 399 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: certain parts of the South, So, yeah, who's going to 400 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: leave their house? Let me go to I want to 401 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: leave my I don't have power here, but I'm gonna 402 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: take off. 403 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 3: Come on, man, we got FEMA passes. Well you were got. 404 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: Yeah that's true, you were gotting the street cred. 405 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like I still, I 406 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 3: was down. I was like one of the ones pushing 407 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: forward still like No, what we could do is we 408 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: could fly into Dallas and then from Dallas straight into 409 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 3: Birmingham and rolled up like in the Ghostbuster Mobile. 410 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: That'd be awesome. 411 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, the hotel win would have been boarded up, but 412 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: we're still walking in with our comrades and our live 413 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: broadcast equipment. 414 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: Yes, we're here to save the day with a live 415 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: radio remote right here. Yes, that's awesome. I drove in 416 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: a tropical storm when I was back in Vermont, when 417 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: I was in Boston a couple months ago, and that 418 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: wasn't a hurricane, and that was pretty wild. The road 419 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: was flooding a little bit, it was dark, there were 420 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: no lights. I can only imagine what a hurricane would 421 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: be like with the power out on those old country 422 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: roads in the South where there's just nothing for miles 423 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: and miles and miles, And I mean that would be 424 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: like a horror film, wouldn't it, Danny, wouldn't you think? 425 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 3: Oh for sure, And we're hoping and praying that everybody 426 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 3: in that part of the country stays safe. At the 427 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 3: time we're taping this. I'm not sure what's going to 428 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 3: happen with the football games, but baseball was canceled. 429 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. If they'd been pro active, they could 430 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: have had the Braves play on Monday and yep, earlier 431 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and then they would have gotten the games in. 432 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: But they didn't do that. So now they're gonna play 433 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: a doubleheader on Monday most I guess that's going to 434 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: happen now, And whoever wins the playoff spot, it doesn't 435 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: really matter, Danny, because their pitching staff is going to 436 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: be shredded from having to play all those games. 437 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: But they oh yeah, trust me. Rich Davis, who's a 438 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 3: big Mets fan, he had a take on the air 439 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: saying that this was actually an advantage for the Mets 440 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 3: because of how it affected the Braves pitching staff. 441 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: That's one way to look at it. 442 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: That's hopeful thinking by a Mets fan. 443 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, wishful thinking by a Mets which is usually the opposite. 444 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: Usually the Mets fans were porked. You know, we were done, 445 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: we can't win and all that. All right, I have 446 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: some other stuff. I think I'll save it for tomorrow 447 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: the mailbag if I remember, and. 448 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: Now, and I'm glad we got to reminisce a little 449 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 3: bit about the Oakland A's because it is an emotional 450 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: thing for sports fans. You know. I saw one of 451 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: their broadcasters tearing up. You probably saw that video too. Yeah, 452 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 3: the post game guys and bit was in tears and 453 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 3: their dude next to them was choked up as he 454 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 3: was saying goodbye. And it's really weird. It's like a 455 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 3: piece of our childhood going to the wayside. 456 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting older. We've seen a lot of teams relocate. 457 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: Like I was saying about the other day, the Montreal 458 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: Expose gone, Seattle SuperSonics, Hartford Whalers and Hockey, all those 459 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: teams are gone. We've seen teams move multiple times. The 460 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: Raiders have moved from Oakland to La back to Oakland 461 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: to Vegas. The Chargers have moved. Oklahoma City was born 462 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: from the Sonics. I mean, there's been a lot of 463 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: name changes and relocations. The Charlotte Hornets became the Pelicans, 464 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: and Washington Bullets are no more, the Redskins, the Guardians 465 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: all that. But anyway, so college football for your your 466 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: you're home, so you'll be watching later today, Danny. 467 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, exactly a lot of college football today. 468 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I'll be watching as well. In baseball, most everything I 469 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: care about is decide, although we don't know the matchups yet, 470 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: and whether the Dodgers will end up with the number 471 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: one seed or the Phillies will have the number one seed, 472 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. And then next week the 473 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: baseball playoffs.
