Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: It's the clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in
Speaker 2: the air everywhere.
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour the extra spicy, extra crunchy edition of
Speaker 1: the podcast, with yours truly saying my old name, which
Speaker 1: is always odd when you say your own name, But
Speaker 1: it's me Ben and Danny G. We're hanging out with you.
Speaker 1: On a Friday, the seventeenth day of the month of May,
Speaker 1: a big racing weekend, Another big racing weekend, big golf weekend,
Speaker 1: all that and for for us though Danny, we saved
Speaker 1: content from last weekend for today. This is going to
Speaker 1: be the most downloaded podcast on all of iHeart today.
Speaker 1: Give me number one, number one.
Speaker 3: He will be well. First of all, I'm in beautiful Oregon.
Speaker 3: I got a shout out Eugene again. I stole one
Speaker 3: of the headsets we're going to use later today for
Speaker 3: the live broadcast, so I hope this is okay. It's
Speaker 3: one of the little mics like Janet Jackson where you
Speaker 3: adjusted in front of your mouth.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I know that kind of way. Now.
Speaker 1: That is Lorraine uh territory. She's always She's not from Eugene.
Speaker 1: She's from out in the Styx in Oregon. That's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah. She told me that her high school there was
Speaker 3: like two hundred people there.
Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had eight hundred kids in my graduating class alone.
Speaker 1: Well I barely graduated, so I don't even remember how
Speaker 1: many kids we were there, but there were a lot
Speaker 1: at the high school, you know, the main high school,
Speaker 1: busy setting off stink bombs. Yeah, it was barely I
Speaker 1: had trouble waking up, so it was in the morning.
Speaker 1: I was more of an afternoon person. Although the kids today,
Speaker 1: you know these kids today, Danny, I've heard that they
Speaker 1: do adjust the schedule in high school, that you can
Speaker 1: start as late as nine or ten o'clock at some
Speaker 1: of the high schools. You can adjust your schedule so
Speaker 1: you could actually sleep in a little bit. But back
Speaker 1: in our day, Danny, you know, you had that eight
Speaker 1: a n.
Speaker 3: And there was none of that. They didn't let us
Speaker 3: off campus for lunch either. I don't know about your school.
Speaker 1: There, we were allowed you only as a I think
Speaker 1: it was a junior or senior. You could go to
Speaker 1: the local shopping center. There was like one shopping center.
Speaker 3: So what were they saying by that that it was agist?
Speaker 3: Freshmen and sophomores were too immature? They thought, yeah, but
Speaker 3: back then it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: Nobody cared. But now now there would be lawsuits and
Speaker 1: it'd be like, you know what the heck? And we're
Speaker 1: also celebrating today is Endangered Species Day, And I know
Speaker 1: for you, Danny, your life is being interrupted because of
Speaker 1: endangered species on a on a semi regular basis. Is
Speaker 1: they is it done?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Are the agent?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: They are nowhere near finishing this. And you've heard us
Speaker 3: on the podcast before, you know, Ben is alluding to
Speaker 3: that first ever, at least for our part of California.
Speaker 3: Bridge across the one on one freeway, which is a
Speaker 3: wildlife crossing. Did you see the article I sent you
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. Everybody in southern California was
Speaker 3: so excited because someone took a picture of an owl
Speaker 3: crossing the frame. They just have the frame of it
Speaker 3: up and an owl went across the frame and people
Speaker 3: were celebrating, like, look, it's working already.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: Hate to tell you this, but owls have wings.
Speaker 1: Yeah now I shouldn't have to preface this, but listen,
Speaker 1: we like animals, we also think we do.
Speaker 3: I have like six of them at my house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: This just strikes me as being and I have a
Speaker 3: cat and a dog too.
Speaker 1: My favorite part of that post you sent me was
Speaker 1: the comments of the animal lover who just thought this
Speaker 1: was the greatest thing ever. You know, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: And these are the same people who think w NBA
Speaker 3: players should get paid a lot more money, millions more.
Speaker 3: These are the same people, because the people in the
Speaker 3: comments are like, they should have at least a dozen
Speaker 3: of these built already in California. Yeah, this thing is
Speaker 3: costing over one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was privately financed, not all of it. Finance,
Speaker 1: not all of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Can't they put their name whoever financed they put
Speaker 1: their name on it? Yeah? Yeah, you know, why not?
Speaker 3: So the owl can poop all over the name that's
Speaker 3: written on the bridge.
Speaker 1: I go back to one of my Boilermaker takes, Danny
Speaker 1: and you remember how upset people would get when there
Speaker 1: would be a big charity story, and I would point
Speaker 1: out that real charity you do not do it with
Speaker 1: a camera crew. It's like when Russell Wilson would go
Speaker 1: to the children's hospital, he would have a makeup person,
Speaker 1: he would have a director. You know, it's like no
Speaker 1: and I and I will give credit to the lake
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant because Kobe Bryant, we found out after he
Speaker 1: did he died, that he was a regular children's hospital
Speaker 1: in LA and Orange County, but he did not bring
Speaker 1: a camera crew with him to document everything to the children.
Speaker 1: Does that's real charity? That's back.
Speaker 3: The way that story went was he had the Michael
Speaker 3: Jackson disguise on to go in because he didn't want
Speaker 3: to be noticed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wonderful. That's the way, you know, Bravo, that's
Speaker 1: the way it should be. Like anyway, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get carried on that. But if you do charity
Speaker 1: and then you put your name on it, and I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you shouldn't put your name on it if
Speaker 1: it's much of money, and you want to do it,
Speaker 1: but don't pretend like it's you know, some great act
Speaker 1: that you're not trying to get attention for. You're obviously
Speaker 1: putting your name on it. Anyway, his National Endangered Species Day,
Speaker 1: So celebrate that.
Speaker 3: Thank god one owl saved so far.
Speaker 1: Yes, that owl was strutting like Vince McMahon back in
Speaker 1: the day walking into the ring in professional wrestling.
Speaker 3: He was doing the pads frame for me. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: on some cars down there right now. Look at me,
Speaker 3: Look at me, Look at that gray Dodge. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: poop good on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do the animal people, the wild bobcats and whatnot, do
Speaker 1: not understand that that's just for them. They just you know,
Speaker 1: they could.
Speaker 3: Ben shut up. There should be at least a dozen
Speaker 3: of these in LA right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know there you go. Wonderful. I like they've
Speaker 1: been closing that road to build it multiple times. But
Speaker 1: they do it at night. You know, nobody's up at night.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: There are people up at night. That's right, There are
Speaker 1: people up at night.
Speaker 2: This isn't not the number one station anymore.
Speaker 1: Is it? Go figure? Today is National Bike to Work Day.
Speaker 1: Will you be biking. Well, I guess you're in Oregon,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry. Oode.
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of bikes on the drive here.
Speaker 3: We drove from Portland to Eugene here very early this morning,
Speaker 3: and there is a lot of bike traffic. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: Well a lot of granola crunchers here.
Speaker 1: Have they gone? Like in Boston, they've gotten rid of
Speaker 1: some roads. Last time I was in Boston and they
Speaker 1: made them bike trails because you know, that's really it
Speaker 1: doesn't get nasty weather in Boston seven months out of
Speaker 1: the year, right, or you don't can't really use the
Speaker 1: outdoor bike anyway. I don't get carried away on that.
Speaker 1: But this is get to the point place, all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the show that ESPN actually made a
Speaker 3: bid on for exclusive rights. Yeah, and Fox Sports said no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: Ben Maller is ours, that is correct, and had to
Speaker 3: put their head down and kick a can and go
Speaker 3: back to the drawing board.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We had we had NBC. You know, I do
Speaker 1: a little TV for NBC. We had did last year.
Speaker 1: We had CBS, we we had I think the Food
Speaker 1: Channel was interesting this vice while they're out of business.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're around anymore. But what else do
Speaker 1: we I think it was nickelodeon, HG TV thought, you know,
Speaker 1: love it or listed they could do that. But this
Speaker 1: is it. This is it. I saw it on Offer Up.
Speaker 1: This is this is an amazing podcast. We've never done
Speaker 1: this before, by the way, Danny, We've never done in
Speaker 1: a special postgame show for a malard, meat greed or
Speaker 1: a mallor of that just does not happen.
Speaker 3: No, I've never typed this title twelve times.
Speaker 1: No, not at all. But we had a full week
Speaker 1: we didn't do it. You know what, people were upset.
Speaker 1: I saw Terry in England. I saw his comments and
Speaker 1: other people were upset. They thought that we were acting
Speaker 1: or something. There was no acting going on. I can't act.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Dad, I'm not a good.
Speaker 3: Act I mean, you're really not a good actor. And
Speaker 3: the fact you were in a garage and you said
Speaker 3: I'm in a garage, that was the best part. There's
Speaker 3: no acting when you're like, look, I'm in a fucking
Speaker 3: garage right now.
Speaker 1: I should have taken a photo of the recording of
Speaker 1: the podcast last week.
Speaker 3: Just how sweaty I yeah, I saw it, Okay, on
Speaker 3: my Mom, who's still alive, on her life. Ben was
Speaker 3: sitting inside a garage broadcasting last weekend. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 3: dedicated he is to you, the listener.
Speaker 1: I was in a car in a garage with the
Speaker 1: windows up, and my shirt was soaking. It was humid.
Speaker 1: That was you know, humid southern weather, although it got
Speaker 1: better as the wee a weekend continued.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if you know this. That's how
Speaker 3: some people end their lives. I yes, that's a good point. Yes,
Speaker 3: I don't look they looked like you were doing that,
Speaker 3: but you were broadcasting and stiff.
Speaker 1: I did not have the car on though. I think
Speaker 1: to meet your demise there you have to have I
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, So this is a global exclusive, as
Speaker 1: as Danny referenced, and nobody else has this, none of
Speaker 1: the other networks. They all wanted it. Everyone wanted a
Speaker 1: piece of this. Nobody got it, and even our colleagues here.
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd was so upset he had he had an
Speaker 1: extra cocktail after his show. He was very upset. Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick had a hissy fit, and even Rob Parker, who
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, He was upset, and then he watched the
Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry Highlights and everything's good. But I love I
Speaker 1: kid because I care. As Chris Meyers used.
Speaker 3: To stay by the way, we were teasing Rob so
Speaker 3: bad the other day because his take, I don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe a month or two ago, was Caitlin Clark's too
Speaker 3: good for the w NBA. She should go to the NBA.
Speaker 3: And now after her debut for the Fever, his whole
Speaker 3: take on the air was this is garbage. She's not
Speaker 3: the prayer they've been looking for to turn the league around.
Speaker 3: She's dead upon arrival. Well, Rob, he had to pivot,
Speaker 3: you know. Sometimes I was a premature hot take Clark.
Speaker 3: And then when we reminded him of his old take
Speaker 3: in the hallway, he's like, that was a take on
Speaker 3: a different day.
Speaker 1: An I'm gonna be straight with you, no lie, no bs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And did you see my favorite Kitlin Clark story this week?
Speaker 1: And I think we mentioned it last night on the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show is the secondary market. A bunch of these
Speaker 1: ticket brokers bought up the tickets for Kaitlin Clark's home debut,
Speaker 1: So they bought a bunch of tickets thinking they could
Speaker 1: resell these at a tremendous inflation. You know they could
Speaker 1: mark it up and price gouge people. Well, some of
Speaker 1: the tickets on the secondary market are going for with
Speaker 1: fees less than ten dollars for Caitlin Clark's home home debuts,
Speaker 1: So not a great investment. I did get a Rob
Speaker 1: Parker take endorsement. Sell the alarm. Rob and we and
Speaker 1: Rob have a good really, we get along. Well, we
Speaker 1: don't talk all that often because I don't see Rob.
Speaker 1: He works a different shift than I do, and every
Speaker 1: once in a while we'll send a text, and he
Speaker 1: sent me text Take approval, Take approval from Rob Parker.
Speaker 3: I had a take, the one where you gave the
Speaker 3: Lakers credit for facing the Nuggets head on.
Speaker 1: No, he ripped me for that. He said, that's a
Speaker 1: bad job. I says, I'm gone soft. I'm going soft Rob.
Speaker 1: But no, he credited me because I had. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a New Yorker and I had a great Knickerbocker
Speaker 1: take that I pointed out. Jalen Brunson is everything that
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony was supposed to be, but he's actually it,
Speaker 1: like all the hyper Carmelo Anthony and I did this
Speaker 1: whole rant about when he showed up with the Knicks,
Speaker 1: it was like a ticker tape parade and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and he just was overrated. But Jalen Brunson was underrated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't believe in him. I didn't think he would
Speaker 1: be this good. I thought it was a fluke what
Speaker 1: he did with the Mavericks when when Luca got hurt
Speaker 1: and he played well. But Jalen Brunson has been great,
Speaker 1: and so you take that, Carmelo Rob Parker approved my take.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you hear that Mark Cuban is actually up
Speaker 3: for New York Knicks Executive of the Year.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's done more to help the Knicks than he
Speaker 1: has the Mavericks recently. But I know the Mavericks are
Speaker 1: still alive. What are you talking about? All right? Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is the official postgame show Mallar Meet and Greet
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four below the Mason Dixon Line the Southern.
Speaker 3: Because I saw some pictures, but I didn't hear it
Speaker 3: from the horse's mouth, which is you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna put a bunch of photos up this afternoon.
Speaker 1: So I know most of you listened to this based
Speaker 1: on the data, Yeah, you listened to this early in
Speaker 1: the day, but I'll put up later in the day
Speaker 1: a bunch of photos. The boys have been great. They
Speaker 1: sent me some photo I didn't get enough photos. I
Speaker 1: was busy, you know, talking, but I'm still riding high.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell these events. I always say these are
Speaker 1: double edged swords because for me, Danny, I'm an introvert.
Speaker 1: I'm a big introvert. It's very difficult to transform into
Speaker 1: a social butterfly. I talked for four hours a day,
Speaker 1: and then on the weekends we do the podcast, and
Speaker 1: the rest of the time, I don't really say much.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty quiet, you know, I keep to myself. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't say much. I especially do not enjoy
Speaker 1: awkward conversation small talk. I don't like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're no Rich Davis. Yes. During commercial breaks, he
Speaker 3: does his own radio show in the hallway with editors
Speaker 3: and other people wandering around our building.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'm the opposite. I'm like, I'm saving it
Speaker 1: for the air. You know, we we would talk about
Speaker 1: that when I worked with you, Danny on the overnight show.
Speaker 1: We'd be like, all right, let's not do that off there.
Speaker 1: We gotta save that.
Speaker 3: It's one of the main things we always said up
Speaker 3: for on air.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I save everything for on here. I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing left. My holster is empty anyway. So for
Speaker 1: me as an introvert, it's very difficult and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But the cool part this has a double sort. The
Speaker 1: cool part these mal ad meet and greets are like
Speaker 1: religious revivals of sorts, because there are times doing the
Speaker 1: overnight show that you get a little depressed that the
Speaker 1: only people you're talking to or are not doing very
Speaker 1: well in the game of life. You know, the doing well,
Speaker 1: they got issues. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, a
Speaker 1: lot of pharmaceuticals or whatever, and the people on the edge.
Speaker 3: So you're saying, weed man, hippie is a very good
Speaker 3: case study of your average listener.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying. So. This is confirmation though that
Speaker 1: we do have, even in the overnight some really cool
Speaker 1: people who are in air quotes, normal who listen to
Speaker 1: the content that we provide. And the third shift worker.
Speaker 1: Now a lot of these guys have become pod listeners.
Speaker 1: They used to listen overnight and now they're podcast listeners,
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. That's that's pretty neat. And
Speaker 1: as far as how many people show up. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to embellish Danny. I believe in truth
Speaker 1: and broadcasting. I would say it's kind of like it
Speaker 1: was kind of like a Taylor Swift concert. Maybe forty
Speaker 1: sixty thousand people. But attendance is just it's just a number.
Speaker 3: Who are you Wade Bogs now, it's one hundred and
Speaker 3: seven beers that you draft.
Speaker 1: You know, you have lies, damn lies, and you have statistics,
Speaker 1: and so I didn't do account We didn't sell tickets
Speaker 1: to this. People showed up. There were people that showed
Speaker 1: up and left. There were people that stayed. There were
Speaker 1: people that showed up. As I was leaving, as I
Speaker 1: was walking out of the parking lot, I ran into somebody.
Speaker 1: But it's wonderful. It was really cool to meet everyone.
Speaker 1: And what you did by going to that event, you
Speaker 1: did something that is more valuable than money. You gave
Speaker 1: up the thing that you can't get with money, and
Speaker 1: that's time. And I appreciate. There were people that traveled
Speaker 1: from very far away, some even getting on play to
Speaker 1: fly in to Charleston to hang out. Was I again
Speaker 1: want to thank Dale, great guy. It was good to
Speaker 1: hang out with him and he explained to me that
Speaker 1: not only has Dale move from southern California to the
Speaker 1: state of South Carolina, but he's gotten like I forget,
Speaker 1: how many like ten fifteen other people to move as well,
Speaker 1: so they've got a whole community. Like all his friends
Speaker 1: and family, I guess he didn't get in a great detail,
Speaker 1: but they all live in that area, so it was
Speaker 1: great to meet him. I also met the older of
Speaker 1: my father's mustache, the place that you ripped on the.
Speaker 3: Air day, and he was very kind. Oh my mother's sideburns. Now,
Speaker 3: did he have a mustache in alongsideburns?
Speaker 1: No? No, he was a guy that was enjoying life.
Speaker 1: You're a little older than me, but nice bar. Highly
Speaker 1: recommend if you're in Charleston going there. I was a
Speaker 1: little concerned when I showed up because it was in
Speaker 1: like a like a mall, not a mall, like a
Speaker 1: shopping center thing with a grocery store, and there was
Speaker 1: like a pharmacy and there was a biscuit restaurant on
Speaker 1: one side. So I was like, there's a tea shop
Speaker 1: coffee shop, like a bougie coffee shop next to us.
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned by that. I was like
Speaker 1: Oh boy, what am I get myself into? But I
Speaker 1: walked in. It looked good. At a nice old school bar.
Speaker 1: They had a cool brick fireplace on one side. They
Speaker 1: had tables to eat at. It's not just a bar.
Speaker 1: There was a restaurant as well. But we ended up
Speaker 1: having My math was a little off on the Overnight Show.
Speaker 1: I did the math. I recounted because we believe in recounts, Danny,
Speaker 1: and we had seven listen are from seven states that
Speaker 1: that showed up by my math here seven heaven, Danny,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, right, seven states that made the Pilgrim.
Speaker 3: Or in that part of the country, states are a
Speaker 3: little closer together. That's still really good though, well.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. But we had Virgilvirginia, North Carolina, obviously
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Tennessee but that every count. Then several boys
Speaker 1: from Tennessee, Georgia, Georgia, and we had Florida as well
Speaker 1: and Michigan. Oh nice. Yeah, a guy named Ken. Now
Speaker 1: technically he spends half a year in Florida, but he
Speaker 1: planned his trip back up to Michigan and made sure
Speaker 1: to stop at the the bar there. Kid was there,
Speaker 1: but he was heading back to Michigan. How about Dominican
Speaker 1: Mike flew up for the day from Tampa. That's kind
Speaker 1: of cool, right, That was neat to meet Dominican Mike.
Speaker 1: And he's called the show for years. That was that
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty special. House, really cool. Tommy from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Tommy's a cool guy at a bravesat on. I forgave
Speaker 1: him and he's he's like me. He's a big introvert.
Speaker 1: But he drives a truck and he used to call
Speaker 1: the show. But the people he works where he works
Speaker 1: for a grocery store company in Atlanta, and they put
Speaker 1: the kebash on that they're they're they're not allowed to
Speaker 1: be on your cell phone when you're driving around delivering
Speaker 1: the groceries. So he's unable to call the show anymore,
Speaker 1: but he listens all the time and he's a big fan.
Speaker 1: Shirly Scott from I think he's from Virginia. I believe
Speaker 1: he was there, Mike. And if I get any of
Speaker 1: these names wrong, you can you can kick me in
Speaker 1: the nuts and and email me and tell me I'm
Speaker 1: a schmuck. I believe his name is Mike's the guy.
Speaker 1: He has wife with him. He gave us Citadel hats
Speaker 1: the Citadels in the Charleston area.
Speaker 3: I remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gave us the Citadel hats, and he remembered
Speaker 1: that Cooper Loop ripped it because he didn't want the
Speaker 1: Citadel hat. Dale gave us. Gave me a Hatop.
Speaker 3: Only wears shit colored Broncos hats.
Speaker 1: Dale gave me a He gave me a hat and
Speaker 1: some other stuff also. But his kid made coozies. I
Speaker 1: have a koozie for you, Danny. I have to get
Speaker 1: it to you. I forgot to bring it to you,
Speaker 1: but I have a koozy with your name on nice,
Speaker 1: which is really nice from Dale, with the outline of
Speaker 1: South Carolina on one side. It's got your name on it.
Speaker 1: Mark and his son, Zach, drove up all the way
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville. That was pretty cool. Zach the son. He
Speaker 1: was wearing a green Oakland Athletics jersey and I hadn't
Speaker 1: seen anybody wearing an A's jersey since they bailed on Oakland.
Speaker 1: But still there. But Zach, he's actually going to go
Speaker 1: to Oakland to go to an A's game later this
Speaker 1: summer because they're moving to Sacramento next year. Nice and
Speaker 1: so he's going there to check it out.
Speaker 3: Careful, don't leave anything in plain sight in your car.
Speaker 1: Mark. Yeah, there's no in and out near the airporting
Speaker 1: but Mark hooked me up. The dad there here to
Speaker 1: meet with his old school couple of artists Gilmore basketball cars.
Speaker 1: He also pointed out in an email that he worked now.
Speaker 1: He told me this at the meet and greet. He
Speaker 1: worked for the Rockets back in the nineties when they
Speaker 1: right up until they won their first championship in ninety four.
Speaker 1: He worked for the Pockets when they played at the
Speaker 1: Summit in Houston. And he has a collection of old
Speaker 1: NBA warm ups, which is kind of kind of random,
Speaker 1: but that they are cool. He mentioned had one signed
Speaker 1: by Derek Martin, who we've had on the podcast from
Speaker 1: the Clippers in the mid mid nineties. Around that time.
Speaker 1: Ken from Columbia, South Carolina, and he's he's the guy
Speaker 1: that hooked us up. Hooked me up with a hoodie
Speaker 1: and a blowfish hat, which is cool, really unique. I
Speaker 1: like that a lot, a minor league baseball hat, and
Speaker 1: he had some funny shirts on you'll see when I
Speaker 1: post the photos here later today. He stood out from
Speaker 1: fashion from a fashion standpoint, He definitely stood out. And
Speaker 1: we also had a regular emailer to this podcast. Yo
Speaker 1: Yo Ma.
Speaker 3: Yeah I know him.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was there. Yeah, yeah, good good dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: good guy. He was hanging out. He also sent me
Speaker 1: a nice email talking about how it's always awkward and
Speaker 1: he was concerned how awkward everything was going to be
Speaker 1: and how weird and all that stuff. At a hotel
Speaker 1: near lax because you know, you go there, you don't
Speaker 1: know anybody.
Speaker 3: And yeah, now, how about the listener you promised to
Speaker 3: buy him an appetizer and a drink.
Speaker 1: Did not show up? I saved me like twenty bucks.
Speaker 1: Jerome and Charles.
Speaker 3: Did you show up? Come on Jerome?
Speaker 1: Yeah, did not, did not bring it home. Jerome stayed
Speaker 1: at home, so he did not show up there at all.
Speaker 1: But Barry from Nashville, who's now in South Carolina, the
Speaker 1: Yo Yoma character, he was there.
Speaker 3: Now, don't tell me you were fasting, did you take part?
Speaker 3: Did you have a drink? Did you get some competizers.

Speaker 1: uh again, I'm calling him, I thinks, as I remember
Speaker 1: his name is Mike. But before I forget this, I
Speaker 1: just popped in my head that he told me a
Speaker 1: story about how his dad got into a debate with
Speaker 1: his preacher, his pastor in in Carolina there over my
Speaker 1: position that momentum does not exist in sports, and that
Speaker 1: that became a battle cry. That he had kind of
Speaker 1: piggyback my my momentum opinion and got into a spicy
Speaker 1: conversation with his with his preacher. So that that was
Speaker 1: kind of neat. That was kind of neat. But I
Speaker 1: didn't eat because I always feel bad going to these things.
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to. People spent a lot
Speaker 1: of their time. The most valuable thing you have is

Speaker 1: Pretty much. Yeah, we have the phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the phrase of the week? Eddie?
Speaker 1: The phrase of the week. Here's the phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: This comes from Nick in Wisconsin. He says he's not
Speaker 1: a hockey guy. He says, I like hockey, but I'm
Speaker 1: not a puckhead like Eddie. I keep hearing a lot
Speaker 1: of he was standing on his head? Where did it
Speaker 1: come from? Ben? And Okay, Nick, well we're gonna make
Speaker 1: this the phrase of the week for Friday. So the
Speaker 1: phrase standing on his head, that is a colloquial expression.
Speaker 1: It's I don't hear it in any of those sports
Speaker 1: than hockey. I guess it could be said in other sports,
Speaker 1: but I hear it in hockey, and it's if you're unfamiliar,
Speaker 1: it's obviously about a goaltender making amazing saves and just
Speaker 1: being a stone wall in the net. And when you
Speaker 1: say the goalie's standing on his head, just outstanding, chef's
Speaker 1: kiss just great, wonderful and all that. But the phrase,
Speaker 1: I did a little research. It took me a while
Speaker 1: to find this one, but it actually started in hockey,
Speaker 1: the phrase he was standing. The phrase originated in nineteen eighteen,
Speaker 1: so it's one hundred in the hockey lexicon. In nineteen eighteen,
Speaker 1: which is obviously over one hundred years ago, when the
Speaker 1: president of the NHL, a guy named Frank Calder, changed
Speaker 1: the rules to allow goalies to drop to the ice,
Speaker 1: saying they could stand on their head if they want to,
Speaker 1: and that became part of the vocabulary of hockey. The
Speaker 1: president of the NHL in nineteen eighteen saying they could
Speaker 1: stand on their head if they want to, and that
Speaker 1: became a colloquial term in the sport of hockey. Hockey hockey,
Speaker 1: So that is the phrase of the week, and we'll
Speaker 1: get out on that. Danny anything, Well, obviously you're in Oregon.
