While I'm talking, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.280 It's like being lou Garrick having my voice bounce back 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.440 into my head. The degree of difficulty is outstanding. I 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.720 like that the company knows I like a challenge. I 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:18.720 thank them for that. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.480 Well, you know, Ben, this high tech equipment we use 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.960 to podcast every weekend cost one hundred and eighty seven 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.479 dollars and iHeart is still in debt because of these headsets. 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.360 Yeah, I'm gonna go on Amazon and buy a vintage 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:37.160 nineteen eighty one mister microphone is what I'm going to 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.360 buy instead of the one thousand dollars microphone I'm talking 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.720 into right now. Not that I'm complaining, Not that I 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.200 am complaining. How can you complain? It's the second day 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.240 of August, it is National ice cream Sandwich day to day, 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.120 dully an ice cream sandwich. Now, I'm I'm a purist 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.000 with my ice cream sandwich. I don't know about you, Danny, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.800 but when it comes to the ice cream sandwich, for me, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.240 it's a big scoop, a couple scoops of vanilla ice 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:08.679 cream and two chocolate chip cookies, soft delicious chocolate chip 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.280 cookies slapped around that vanilla ice cream. Now, if you 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.400 want to go next level, I'm okay with little chocolate 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:20.880 chips around the vanilla. But amazing, absolutely amazing chef's kiss 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.520 to the ice cream sandwich. And there's endless possibilities. But 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.440 like I said, I'm a purist, and this time of 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.840 the year, it's perfect that it's on August second, because 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.880 it's summer and this is when you're supposed to have 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.720 a day to celebrate the ice cream sandwich. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.400 It's hot. Got to enjoy yourself a little bit. I 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.080 like the old school ice cream sandwich, the vanilla. But 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.480 they have like the chocolate. Yes, okay, yeah, those are 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.600 all right. No, those are better than all right. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.359 Now, they're not better than our yeah they are, Okay. Listen, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.600 there's a place here in la In it's west of 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.519 the four or five, so I don't go there very often. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:00.639 There's a creamery that makes the greatest ice cream sandwich 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.080 in southern California, and the greatest I've had on the 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.640 West coast. Actually, they have some of them you can 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.120 get at like local grocery stores around here. But that's 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:13.800 my go to for the ice cream sandwich. We're hanging 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.160 out with all weekend long, and we'll be in Vegas. 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.520 I'll be in Vegas on Saturday. Yeah, speaking of cream, 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.839 we'll be hanging out having a great time. We'll talk 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.440 about why we're going to Vegas and what that's all about. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.720 I did want to announce that this podcast different than 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.240 almost all other podcasts, probably wondering why is that. 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.120 Oh, because it's sponsored by Rapid Radio. That's what we're 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.600 broadcasting on right now. That's right, walkie talkies. We love 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.640 our rapid radios. I like that we're being teased. Every 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.480 time you walk into the building, there's a whole wall 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.760 of rapid radios. And do you know anything about that, Danny? 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.720 I have you gotten to the bottom of the rapid 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.320 radios against the wall? 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.360 Yeah, when you walk in. What's the details on that one? Here, sir? 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.120 Yesterday on Thursday afternoon, right as our pre show meeting 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.960 was ending for Covino and Rich Scott, our boss got 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.360 on a conference call with us and gave us the 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.720 lowdown on those walkie talkies. He did, Yeah, they're they're 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.800 figuring out how to charge them and program them right now. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.440 We're gonna be able to even take the suckers home. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.159 But we got to record videos once a week with 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.880 them for the sponsor. Okay, ah, so they're for us 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.640 to have fun with, but also a marketing tool. But 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.400 are there cameras in them? They are cameras. No, We're 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.320 gonna have to film ourselves like on an ig video 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.839 or whatever social media platform, gotcha. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.680 Okay, all right, I was wondering what they were doing there. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.599 I knew you'd have the answer because you're there during 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.120 the day. I'm not there during the day. I don't 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.360 know what's going on. But the reason that this podcast 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.120 is different we have a studio audience. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.039 We're exciting both your dogs. That is correct. We have 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.120 in my podcast studio. Here we have Moxie. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.320 She is sleeping right now, laying on her side with 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.760 her tongue out, and we have behind Moxie, let me 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.719 check here we have Luigi, who looks bored to death. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.360 So side by side him, thousands of listeners right now. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.680 Living the dream right now. If at any moment they 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.080 get riled up, they might start barking. If one my 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.920 takes is Missus the mark Danny, it might lead to 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.880 a to a bark. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:27.520 All right. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.880 I'm just letting you know, you the listener, that if 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.600 you hear a bark, it's probably gonna be Moxie, not Luigi. 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:35.640 But they are now. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.919 MAXI did wake up because I looked at Moxie, so 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.560 she woke up. Here my bulldog, my English bulldog, and 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.600 she's now staring at me, wondering why I'm looking at her. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.240 So we've we've got that. Last week I bought a 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:48.760 dog and I need them emotion. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.320 Let's get get to the meat of the matter here, Danny. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.520 Call this the pre and the post if you will. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.360 Yeah, we've never done anything like this before. Well, I've 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.960 never titled any of our podcasts pre show or postgame show. 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.919 Well, let's start with Viva Las Vegas, which is not 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.480 It's like the primer. You know how when you paint, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.720 you're supposed to put primer on. Sure, some people don't 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.440 do it, but you're supposed to do it. So this 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.320 is make sure it has a lot of lead in it. 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:18.159 Yeah. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.440 Well, if you're of our age, you grew up with that. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.680 And look at us now, Danny, we're doing so well. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:32.320 The malor Meet and greet Viva Las Vegas tomorrow. How 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.320 exciting is that we're gonna be in Vegas. In fact, 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.240 I'll be heading to Vegas later today. When we get 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.560 done with this podcast, I will be getting in the Malamobile. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:47.240 I'll be cruising through Victorville Apple Valley. I will then 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.520 go on to Barstow, actually yourmo then Barstow work my 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.839 way through the California Desert, go through beautiful Baker, California, 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.040 home of the Mad Greek and the world's largest thermometer. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.680 Then I will make my way to prim Nevada. I 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.440 will wave at Whiskey Pete's. I will also mourn the 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.880 loss of that mall right on the state line when 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.600 you cross California and the Nevada. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.040 I used to love that mall. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.280 There was a great, big and tall store there that 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.440 I would go to get shirts that were like seventy 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.480 percent off the normal price, but that closed during COVID, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.120 so I can't go there anymore. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.200 I'll wave at Buffalo. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.400 Bills, and then I'll keep going and I'll go right 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.840 in past the Death Star where your Raiders play, and 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.800 I'll make my way into Lost Wages, Nevada, the greatness 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.240 of the Raiders, and we'll be hanging out. And then 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.280 on Saturday, Saturday, not sure who's going to be there. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.680 We had a couple of people call up the other 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.240 night that were flying in. We have at least the 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.840 two people flying in from the Bay Area, which is 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:53.080 very exciting, and it's on like Donkey Kong. The likely 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.800 final mallar meet and greet of twenty twenty four, with 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.280 football season getting underway, we had the Hall of Fame 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.920 game on Thursday last night here the Bears in the Texas. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.560 I would imagine that we're not going to have any 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.120 more of these during football season. So this is it Beva, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.240 Las Vegas. It's tomorrow, which is you should know. It's 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.400 August third, today's August second. It's at the Stakeout Bar 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.760 and Grill. That's the Maryland Parkway location forty eight hundred 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.120 south of Maryland Parkway. It's right near the UNLV campus. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.240 When I was a kid growing up, to me, the 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.200 sexiest basketball program in college basketball. I love college basketball 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.320 because that was when it was in the golden era 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.319 was UNLV Tark the Shark. I was so impressed the 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.079 Thomas and Max Center there on the campus of UNLV. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.760 It looked like an NBA arena, and they had all 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.640 these future NBA players on that team. And I grew 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.880 up in Orange County, I didn't grow up far from 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.640 the campus of UC Irvine. The Anteaters, and so that 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.120 was always the biggest game of the year, and they 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.520 sell out that game and I got to go to 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.200 it a few times and it was like oh man, 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.080 this is crazy, like a big rock band showed up. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.520 So now you want to be no good at basketball 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.640 anymore or football. But they have a really good program 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.640 if you want to work in hotels, they got a 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.320 really good program there. Uh and aywow, well it's right 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:17.319 here to you and to be king. 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.680 It wasn't Tart the coach who was famous for biting 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:20.840 and chewing on a towel. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.880 Yes, yes, Jerry Tarkanian would do that. He also coached 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.400 the Spurs. He got an NBA job for like a month. 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.240 And yeah, and then he went to Fresno. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.560 Right, Yeah, he was at Fresno. There was some guys 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.920 with samurai swords that were on his team. 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.599 That was a mess. And I actually interviewed Jerry. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.559 Tarkiani on the radio, which was one of the more 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.960 disappointing moments in my career because I had looked up 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.199 to him my entire life and Jerry was totally distracted. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.160 He agreed to do the interview, but he was driving. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.840 He wasn't driving. Somebody was driving him around and he 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.959 was like playing games with his grandkids, which is great 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:55.760 and wonderful, but. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.120 We uh, patty cake, patty Cake, all right, what's your 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.160 next question. Yeah, it was one of those deals. Danny. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.320 I was like, oh man, what are we doing here? 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.200 This is not this is not good, not good at all. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.240 We'll be in Vegas, not just me. Normally these meet 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.760 and greets are just me. But Eddie's flying in. I 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.760 don't know why he doesn't just drive, but he's flying 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.640 in for the day. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.640 First class, little taste, and then flying out that night. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:27.200 We've got Coop is driving, Loraina driving with Coop. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:32.960 Coop is probably flying high well even though he's on 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:33.520 the ground. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.960 Yeah, but they'll they'll be together and we'll be we'll 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.439 be hanging out. So far, we've gotten RSVPs from Rob 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.839 in Vegas. Avery in Vegas is gonna be there. So 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.960 there's a couple of big names. We know that KGB 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.120 is flying in from the Bay Area or Nesto. 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.640 We've we've met. 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.520 He was at the Minnesota Malor Meet and greet, he 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.160 was at the Seattle Meet and greet, and so he's 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.560 been to several of these things over the years and 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.920 he will be at this one as well. So it's 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.320 excited to see those guys again.

So I don't know who's actually gonna be there, Danny. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.280 I've talked about this over the years, that a lot 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.240 of people say they're going to be there and then 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.319 life gets in the way, right, something comes up and 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.480 they don't make it. So we'll show up now. Schedule 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.000 from three o'clock till five o'clock in Vegas. I set 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.719 it for two hours. In case it sucks, I'll get 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.760 out of there. But if it's if it's good, you know, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.120 i'll stay longer than I'm not gonna stay for two hours, 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:36.520 but that's the bare minimum. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.720 Yeah, I feel like you're going to be there for 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.680 three hours. At least three or four hours. I'll be 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.000 there most likely, and you wonly eat, even though you'll 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.280 be craving chicken fingers the entire time. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.640 Well, I have been doing some extreme fasting recently, but 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.520 I will I will, I will not likely eat your 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.640 right because normally I feel guilty though, you know, Danny, 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.120 because I want to say hello to everybody. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.920 I feel like exactly yeah, I know. Yeah, You've talked 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.240 about this before when we had our Southern California Meet 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.600 and greet. What it is is, you are busy talking 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.280 with everybody, so you feel like it would be rude 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.920 if you're eating a chicken finger that has ranch on 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.920 it right in front of a listener. Well, that would 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:17.440 never happen. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.160 There's no ranch all out. If I see anyone eating ranch, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.839 I'm kicking them out. Okay, I am kicking them out. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.360 I want to thank Slug. Also, Slug is the host 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.680 of this. He did all the leg work. He's our 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.199 boots on the ground. Yeah, so I want to thank Slug. 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.200 Thank you Slug. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.720 Oh yeah, but have some extra ranch on the table 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.040 for Benny when he arrives. No ranch, no ranch will 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:39.760 be harmed at all. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.800 I believe that ranch matters, and I don't want to 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.160 I don't want to take ranch away and kill ranch. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.640 But the thing about this, and this has always been 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:53.000 my theory, the time right, the most valuable commodity that 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.000 we all have is time. And as I've gotten older 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.480 and I've been to way too many funerals over the years, 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.840 in the last like ten years of my life here, 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.520 so you can't buy more of it. And we know 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.080 all don't those story. Once it's gone, that's it. You 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.600 can't replenish it. You don't know how much you have. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.240 And you know you don't want to waste it and 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:10.480 all that. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:11.920 So if you're willing to give your time up to 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.760 hang out with us, you don't want to watch me 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:14.960 eat a chicken. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.920 Finger or something like that. Disgusting. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.680 He wants to watch me eat I'm disgusting when I'm naughty, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:20.840 you certainly don't. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.600 Want to watch. So this is like we took our 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.400 our daughter who's about to enter eighth grade. We took 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.600 the kids to In and Out a few nights back, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.280 and she had the what do they call the dressing 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.640 the Yeah, is like an orange kind of yellow. Yeah, 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.600 I'm glad you described it, because she had it dripping 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.680 down her fingers and her wrist. Get a napkin, you 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.319 filthy animal? Yeah, And can you imagine? And we've been 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.480 teasing her because she's starting to get to the age 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.760 where she wants to have her first boyfriend. And I said, well, 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.600 you better not let this guy ever take you to 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.320 In and Out because they'll break up with you on 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.400 the spot. And what did she say to that. She 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:09.600 just laughed. Oh yeah, no, we won't fight back on that. Yeah, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.200 you're right though, it is gross when some people eat, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.839 like right in front of your face. Yeah, if they're 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.720 a if they're a you know, a messy eater, especially now. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.840 I would argue the most famous incident that happened in 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.280 the meet and greet is when Wayne from Southee I 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:30.440 did it for Mala, a famous drop seven years for Mala. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.040 Also does it count as a meet and greet? When 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.440 we did the pitch the Baker's Field get together, that 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.880 was a meet and greet. Of course we had a 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.000 famous Air Force listener who Air Force Andrew took his 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.560 shirt off out after he got kicked out by security. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.200 He took his shirt off and tried to get sneak 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.680 back in. His disguise was that he didn't have a 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.000 shirt on. Yeah I was. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.960 I was a bull. Strategy hard to believe. The security 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.320 guard figured him out. My favorite part of the Baker's 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.320 Field meet and greet and was hosted by Rod the 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:06.520 Ambassador of bakers Field. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.640 Yeah, nice steak dinner which was great. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.840 We had a great dinner which was which was wonderful. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.040 Remember I had an issue with the tip. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.920 Yeah, I wasn't. You thought you were sliding the waiter 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.200 a one hundred dollars bill and it was accidentally a 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.840 ten dollar bill. Yeah, like I didn't. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.920 I tried to be smooth, and I totally screwed it up. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.640 I totally effed up. So it was a problem there. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.680 So you're like a Hollywood star sitting there like a 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.160 big hog at the table with a pipe, and you 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.320 give this guy the secret handshake. He gets back to 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.840 the kitchen and he has a ten dollars bill. Yeah. Oops, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.760 I had to go back and give him some more money. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:45.280 But yeah. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.600 The thing that's also about that I remember is it 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.960 was oppressively hot, as it often is in the summer 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.600 in Bakersfield, and that we closed the minor league team down, 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.440 but at seven o'clock it was still like around one 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:57.120 hundred degrees. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.760 Yeah. In their their VIP section was literally just those 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.600 plastic pipes yeah that you can, you know, stick together 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.800 for ladder ball and with holes drilled in it. And 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.000 the water was dripping down the one above your head 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.640 in the VIP section was dripping right on your head, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:15.360 big puddles. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.160 Well, not only that it dripped some of it got 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.440 in my in my crotch, so it looked like I 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.160 had urinated my pants. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.200 You killed it like hanging out. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.160 With listeners and if they didn't know what happened, they're like, oh, boy, Meller, 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.320 he had to pee his pants like it's a diaper, 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:30.560 you know. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.360 I was like, no, no. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.440 I had nothing happened there. It was just the thing 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.880 dripped from the cool zone or whatever they were calling 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.160 it at the time. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.000 So bad off. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.280 But Wayne, Wayne in South he's tried to get me hammered. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.280 At the one in Boston.

Then we ended up walking to see Vinnie. 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.840 Another list who was working that night worked at the 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.200 Marriott Hotel where a lot of the visiting teams would stay. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.800 So we went down and saw our guy Vinnie, and 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:08.640 it was fun. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:09.560 It was a good night. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.040 So we'll see what happened.
