Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
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: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right.
Speaker 3: Now in the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me,
Speaker 3: Big Ben and Danny g Radio. Happy Friday to you.

Speaker 3: here for the Fifth Hour podcast. We thank you for listening.
Speaker 3: I like the degree of difficult Danny. While I'm talking,
Speaker 3: It's like being lou Garrick having my voice bounce back
Speaker 3: into my head. The degree of difficulty is outstanding. I
Speaker 3: like that the company knows I like a challenge. I
Speaker 3: thank them for that.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Ben, this high tech equipment we use
Speaker 1: to podcast every weekend cost one hundred and eighty seven
Speaker 1: dollars and iHeart is still in debt because of these headsets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go on Amazon and buy a vintage
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one mister microphone is what I'm going to
Speaker 3: buy instead of the one thousand dollars microphone I'm talking
Speaker 3: into right now. Not that I'm complaining, Not that I
Speaker 3: am complaining. How can you complain? It's the second day
Speaker 3: of August, it is National ice cream Sandwich day to day,
Speaker 3: dully an ice cream sandwich. Now, I'm I'm a purist
Speaker 3: with my ice cream sandwich. I don't know about you, Danny,
Speaker 3: but when it comes to the ice cream sandwich, for me,
Speaker 3: it's a big scoop, a couple scoops of vanilla ice
Speaker 3: cream and two chocolate chip cookies, soft delicious chocolate chip
Speaker 3: cookies slapped around that vanilla ice cream. Now, if you
Speaker 3: want to go next level, I'm okay with little chocolate
Speaker 3: chips around the vanilla. But amazing, absolutely amazing chef's kiss
Speaker 3: to the ice cream sandwich. And there's endless possibilities. But
Speaker 3: like I said, I'm a purist, and this time of
Speaker 3: the year, it's perfect that it's on August second, because
Speaker 3: it's summer and this is when you're supposed to have
Speaker 3: a day to celebrate the ice cream sandwich.
Speaker 1: It's hot. Got to enjoy yourself a little bit. I
Speaker 1: like the old school ice cream sandwich, the vanilla. But
Speaker 1: they have like the chocolate. Yes, okay, yeah, those are
Speaker 1: all right. No, those are better than all right.
Speaker 3: Now, they're not better than our yeah they are, Okay. Listen,
Speaker 3: there's a place here in la In it's west of
Speaker 3: the four or five, so I don't go there very often.
Speaker 3: There's a creamery that makes the greatest ice cream sandwich
Speaker 3: in southern California, and the greatest I've had on the
Speaker 3: West coast. Actually, they have some of them you can
Speaker 3: get at like local grocery stores around here. But that's
Speaker 3: my go to for the ice cream sandwich. We're hanging
Speaker 3: out with all weekend long, and we'll be in Vegas.
Speaker 3: I'll be in Vegas on Saturday. Yeah, speaking of cream,
Speaker 3: we'll be hanging out having a great time. We'll talk
Speaker 3: about why we're going to Vegas and what that's all about.
Speaker 3: I did want to announce that this podcast different than
Speaker 3: almost all other podcasts, probably wondering why is that.
Speaker 1: Oh, because it's sponsored by Rapid Radio. That's what we're
Speaker 1: broadcasting on right now. That's right, walkie talkies. We love
Speaker 1: our rapid radios. I like that we're being teased. Every
Speaker 1: time you walk into the building, there's a whole wall
Speaker 1: of rapid radios. And do you know anything about that, Danny?
Speaker 3: I have you gotten to the bottom of the rapid
Speaker 3: radios against the wall?
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you walk in. What's the details on that one? Here, sir?
Speaker 1: Yesterday on Thursday afternoon, right as our pre show meeting
Speaker 1: was ending for Covino and Rich Scott, our boss got
Speaker 1: on a conference call with us and gave us the
Speaker 1: lowdown on those walkie talkies. He did, Yeah, they're they're
Speaker 1: figuring out how to charge them and program them right now.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to even take the suckers home.
Speaker 1: But we got to record videos once a week with
Speaker 1: them for the sponsor. Okay, ah, so they're for us
Speaker 1: to have fun with, but also a marketing tool. But
Speaker 1: are there cameras in them? They are cameras. No, We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to film ourselves like on an ig video
Speaker 1: or whatever social media platform, gotcha.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I was wondering what they were doing there.
Speaker 3: I knew you'd have the answer because you're there during
Speaker 3: the day. I'm not there during the day. I don't
Speaker 3: know what's going on. But the reason that this podcast
Speaker 3: is different we have a studio audience.
Speaker 1: We're exciting both your dogs. That is correct. We have
Speaker 1: in my podcast studio. Here we have Moxie.
Speaker 3: She is sleeping right now, laying on her side with
Speaker 3: her tongue out, and we have behind Moxie, let me
Speaker 3: check here we have Luigi, who looks bored to death.
Speaker 1: So side by side him, thousands of listeners right now.
Speaker 3: Living the dream right now. If at any moment they
Speaker 3: get riled up, they might start barking. If one my
Speaker 3: takes is Missus the mark Danny, it might lead to
Speaker 3: a to a bark.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: I'm just letting you know, you the listener, that if
Speaker 3: you hear a bark, it's probably gonna be Moxie, not Luigi.
Speaker 1: But they are now.
Speaker 3: MAXI did wake up because I looked at Moxie, so
Speaker 3: she woke up. Here my bulldog, my English bulldog, and
Speaker 3: she's now staring at me, wondering why I'm looking at her.
Speaker 1: So we've we've got that. Last week I bought a
Speaker 1: dog and I need them emotion.
Speaker 3: Let's get get to the meat of the matter here, Danny.
Speaker 3: Call this the pre and the post if you will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've never done anything like this before. Well, I've
Speaker 1: never titled any of our podcasts pre show or postgame show.
Speaker 3: Well, let's start with Viva Las Vegas, which is not
Speaker 3: It's like the primer. You know how when you paint,
Speaker 3: you're supposed to put primer on. Sure, some people don't
Speaker 3: do it, but you're supposed to do it. So this
Speaker 3: is make sure it has a lot of lead in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're of our age, you grew up with that.
Speaker 3: And look at us now, Danny, we're doing so well.
Speaker 3: The malor Meet and greet Viva Las Vegas tomorrow. How
Speaker 3: exciting is that we're gonna be in Vegas. In fact,
Speaker 3: I'll be heading to Vegas later today. When we get
Speaker 3: done with this podcast, I will be getting in the Malamobile.
Speaker 3: I'll be cruising through Victorville Apple Valley. I will then
Speaker 3: go on to Barstow, actually yourmo then Barstow work my
Speaker 3: way through the California Desert, go through beautiful Baker, California,
Speaker 3: home of the Mad Greek and the world's largest thermometer.
Speaker 3: Then I will make my way to prim Nevada. I
Speaker 3: will wave at Whiskey Pete's. I will also mourn the
Speaker 3: loss of that mall right on the state line when
Speaker 3: you cross California and the Nevada.
Speaker 1: I used to love that mall.
Speaker 3: There was a great, big and tall store there that
Speaker 3: I would go to get shirts that were like seventy
Speaker 3: percent off the normal price, but that closed during COVID,
Speaker 3: so I can't go there anymore.
Speaker 1: I'll wave at Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Bills, and then I'll keep going and I'll go right
Speaker 3: in past the Death Star where your Raiders play, and
Speaker 3: I'll make my way into Lost Wages, Nevada, the greatness
Speaker 3: of the Raiders, and we'll be hanging out. And then
Speaker 3: on Saturday, Saturday, not sure who's going to be there.
Speaker 3: We had a couple of people call up the other
Speaker 3: night that were flying in. We have at least the
Speaker 3: two people flying in from the Bay Area, which is
Speaker 3: very exciting, and it's on like Donkey Kong. The likely
Speaker 3: final mallar meet and greet of twenty twenty four, with
Speaker 3: football season getting underway, we had the Hall of Fame
Speaker 3: game on Thursday last night here the Bears in the Texas.
Speaker 3: I would imagine that we're not going to have any
Speaker 3: more of these during football season. So this is it Beva,
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. It's tomorrow, which is you should know. It's
Speaker 3: August third, today's August second. It's at the Stakeout Bar
Speaker 3: and Grill. That's the Maryland Parkway location forty eight hundred
Speaker 3: south of Maryland Parkway. It's right near the UNLV campus.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid growing up, to me, the
Speaker 3: sexiest basketball program in college basketball. I love college basketball
Speaker 3: because that was when it was in the golden era
Speaker 3: was UNLV Tark the Shark. I was so impressed the
Speaker 3: Thomas and Max Center there on the campus of UNLV.
Speaker 3: It looked like an NBA arena, and they had all
Speaker 3: these future NBA players on that team. And I grew
Speaker 3: up in Orange County, I didn't grow up far from
Speaker 3: the campus of UC Irvine. The Anteaters, and so that
Speaker 3: was always the biggest game of the year, and they
Speaker 3: sell out that game and I got to go to
Speaker 3: it a few times and it was like oh man,
Speaker 3: this is crazy, like a big rock band showed up.
Speaker 3: So now you want to be no good at basketball
Speaker 3: anymore or football. But they have a really good program
Speaker 3: if you want to work in hotels, they got a
Speaker 3: really good program there. Uh and aywow, well it's right
Speaker 3: here to you and to be king.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Tart the coach who was famous for biting
Speaker 1: and chewing on a towel.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Jerry Tarkanian would do that. He also coached
Speaker 3: the Spurs. He got an NBA job for like a month.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and then he went to Fresno.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he was at Fresno. There was some guys
Speaker 3: with samurai swords that were on his team.
Speaker 1: That was a mess. And I actually interviewed Jerry.
Speaker 3: Tarkiani on the radio, which was one of the more
Speaker 3: disappointing moments in my career because I had looked up
Speaker 3: to him my entire life and Jerry was totally distracted.
Speaker 3: He agreed to do the interview, but he was driving.
Speaker 3: He wasn't driving. Somebody was driving him around and he
Speaker 3: was like playing games with his grandkids, which is great
Speaker 3: and wonderful, but.
Speaker 1: We uh, patty cake, patty Cake, all right, what's your
Speaker 1: next question. Yeah, it was one of those deals. Danny.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, what are we doing here?
Speaker 3: This is not this is not good, not good at all.
Speaker 3: We'll be in Vegas, not just me. Normally these meet
Speaker 3: and greets are just me. But Eddie's flying in. I
Speaker 3: don't know why he doesn't just drive, but he's flying
Speaker 3: in for the day.
Speaker 1: First class, little taste, and then flying out that night.
Speaker 3: We've got Coop is driving, Loraina driving with Coop.
Speaker 1: Coop is probably flying high well even though he's on
Speaker 1: the ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they'll they'll be together and we'll be we'll
Speaker 3: be hanging out. So far, we've gotten RSVPs from Rob
Speaker 3: in Vegas. Avery in Vegas is gonna be there. So
Speaker 3: there's a couple of big names. We know that KGB
Speaker 3: is flying in from the Bay Area or Nesto.
Speaker 1: We've we've met.
Speaker 3: He was at the Minnesota Malor Meet and greet, he
Speaker 3: was at the Seattle Meet and greet, and so he's
Speaker 3: been to several of these things over the years and
Speaker 3: he will be at this one as well. So it's
Speaker 3: excited to see those guys again. And there's a bunch
Speaker 3: of people's super Bowarke at Steve's driving in from LA.
Speaker 3: We know that, and a bunch of other people of RSVPED,
Speaker 3: one of our big fans in Minnesota is supposed to
Speaker 3: fly in. So I don't know who's actually gonna be there, Danny.
Speaker 3: I've talked about this over the years, that a lot
Speaker 3: of people say they're going to be there and then
Speaker 3: life gets in the way, right, something comes up and
Speaker 3: they don't make it. So we'll show up now. Schedule
Speaker 3: from three o'clock till five o'clock in Vegas. I set
Speaker 3: it for two hours. In case it sucks, I'll get
Speaker 3: out of there. But if it's if it's good, you know,
Speaker 3: i'll stay longer than I'm not gonna stay for two hours,
Speaker 3: but that's the bare minimum.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you're going to be there for
Speaker 1: three hours. At least three or four hours. I'll be
Speaker 1: there most likely, and you wonly eat, even though you'll
Speaker 1: be craving chicken fingers the entire time.
Speaker 3: Well, I have been doing some extreme fasting recently, but
Speaker 3: I will I will, I will not likely eat your
Speaker 3: right because normally I feel guilty though, you know, Danny,
Speaker 3: because I want to say hello to everybody.
Speaker 1: I feel like exactly yeah, I know. Yeah, You've talked
Speaker 1: about this before when we had our Southern California Meet
Speaker 1: and greet. What it is is, you are busy talking
Speaker 1: with everybody, so you feel like it would be rude
Speaker 1: if you're eating a chicken finger that has ranch on
Speaker 1: it right in front of a listener. Well, that would
Speaker 1: never happen.
Speaker 3: There's no ranch all out. If I see anyone eating ranch,
Speaker 3: I'm kicking them out. Okay, I am kicking them out.
Speaker 3: I want to thank Slug. Also, Slug is the host
Speaker 3: of this. He did all the leg work. He's our
Speaker 3: boots on the ground. Yeah, so I want to thank Slug.
Speaker 3: Thank you Slug.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but have some extra ranch on the table
Speaker 1: for Benny when he arrives. No ranch, no ranch will
Speaker 1: be harmed at all.
Speaker 3: I believe that ranch matters, and I don't want to
Speaker 3: I don't want to take ranch away and kill ranch.
Speaker 3: But the thing about this, and this has always been
Speaker 3: my theory, the time right, the most valuable commodity that
Speaker 3: we all have is time. And as I've gotten older
Speaker 3: and I've been to way too many funerals over the years,
Speaker 3: in the last like ten years of my life here,
Speaker 3: so you can't buy more of it. And we know
Speaker 3: all don't those story. Once it's gone, that's it. You
Speaker 3: can't replenish it. You don't know how much you have.
Speaker 1: And you know you don't want to waste it and
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 3: So if you're willing to give your time up to
Speaker 3: hang out with us, you don't want to watch me
Speaker 3: eat a chicken.
Speaker 1: Finger or something like that. Disgusting.
Speaker 3: He wants to watch me eat I'm disgusting when I'm naughty,
Speaker 3: you certainly don't.
Speaker 1: Want to watch. So this is like we took our
Speaker 1: our daughter who's about to enter eighth grade. We took
Speaker 1: the kids to In and Out a few nights back,
Speaker 1: and she had the what do they call the dressing
Speaker 1: the Yeah, is like an orange kind of yellow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you described it, because she had it dripping
Speaker 1: down her fingers and her wrist. Get a napkin, you
Speaker 1: filthy animal? Yeah, And can you imagine? And we've been
Speaker 1: teasing her because she's starting to get to the age
Speaker 1: where she wants to have her first boyfriend. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: you better not let this guy ever take you to
Speaker 1: In and Out because they'll break up with you on
Speaker 1: the spot. And what did she say to that. She
Speaker 1: just laughed. Oh yeah, no, we won't fight back on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right though, it is gross when some people eat,
Speaker 1: like right in front of your face. Yeah, if they're
Speaker 1: a if they're a you know, a messy eater, especially now.
Speaker 3: I would argue the most famous incident that happened in
Speaker 3: the meet and greet is when Wayne from Southee I
Speaker 3: did it for Mala, a famous drop seven years for Mala.
Speaker 1: Also does it count as a meet and greet? When
Speaker 1: we did the pitch the Baker's Field get together, that
Speaker 1: was a meet and greet. Of course we had a
Speaker 1: famous Air Force listener who Air Force Andrew took his
Speaker 1: shirt off out after he got kicked out by security.
Speaker 1: He took his shirt off and tried to get sneak
Speaker 1: back in. His disguise was that he didn't have a
Speaker 1: shirt on. Yeah I was.
Speaker 3: I was a bull. Strategy hard to believe. The security
Speaker 3: guard figured him out. My favorite part of the Baker's
Speaker 3: Field meet and greet and was hosted by Rod the
Speaker 3: Ambassador of bakers Field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice steak dinner which was great.
Speaker 3: We had a great dinner which was which was wonderful.
Speaker 3: Remember I had an issue with the tip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't. You thought you were sliding the waiter
Speaker 1: a one hundred dollars bill and it was accidentally a
Speaker 1: ten dollar bill. Yeah, like I didn't.
Speaker 3: I tried to be smooth, and I totally screwed it up.
Speaker 3: I totally effed up. So it was a problem there.
Speaker 1: So you're like a Hollywood star sitting there like a
Speaker 1: big hog at the table with a pipe, and you
Speaker 1: give this guy the secret handshake. He gets back to
Speaker 1: the kitchen and he has a ten dollars bill. Yeah. Oops,
Speaker 1: I had to go back and give him some more money.
Speaker 1: But yeah.
Speaker 3: The thing that's also about that I remember is it
Speaker 3: was oppressively hot, as it often is in the summer
Speaker 3: in Bakersfield, and that we closed the minor league team down,
Speaker 3: but at seven o'clock it was still like around one
Speaker 3: hundred degrees.
Speaker 1: Yeah. In their their VIP section was literally just those
Speaker 1: plastic pipes yeah that you can, you know, stick together
Speaker 1: for ladder ball and with holes drilled in it. And
Speaker 1: the water was dripping down the one above your head
Speaker 1: in the VIP section was dripping right on your head,
Speaker 1: big puddles.
Speaker 3: Well, not only that it dripped some of it got
Speaker 3: in my in my crotch, so it looked like I
Speaker 3: had urinated my pants.
Speaker 1: You killed it like hanging out.
Speaker 3: With listeners and if they didn't know what happened, they're like, oh, boy, Meller,
Speaker 3: he had to pee his pants like it's a diaper,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no.
Speaker 3: I had nothing happened there. It was just the thing
Speaker 3: dripped from the cool zone or whatever they were calling
Speaker 3: it at the time.
Speaker 1: So bad off.
Speaker 3: But Wayne, Wayne in South he's tried to get me hammered.
Speaker 3: At the one in Boston. We actually me and Blind
Speaker 3: Scott and a couple of other fellas, the couple from Maine.
Speaker 3: We took off and the guy from one of the
Speaker 3: guys from Toronto came down and we just started walking
Speaker 3: around Boston. Then we ended up walking to see Vinnie.
Speaker 3: Another list who was working that night worked at the
Speaker 3: Marriott Hotel where a lot of the visiting teams would stay.
Speaker 3: So we went down and saw our guy Vinnie, and
Speaker 3: it was fun.
Speaker 1: It was a good night.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happened. Seattle was awesome. Had a
Speaker 3: great time in Seattle. We had that one with JJ
Speaker 3: and Rant and Robbie the Mariner fan, some big names
Speaker 3: were at that event. Nostradinas among the Northwestern contingent that
Speaker 3: made an appearance at the mal of Meat greet there.
Speaker 3: So it's always always cool to do these things. So
Speaker 3: we look forward to tomorrow. I hope you can be
Speaker 3: there and we'll obviously have a lot of people in
Speaker 3: Vegas that are fans of the show, so we'll see
Speaker 3: what happens.
Speaker 1: I did want to mention briefly the.
Speaker 3: Recap on the Malor Palooza twenty twenty four, as it
Speaker 3: is a final it is in the books, and congratulations
Speaker 3: to everyone that participated in that.
Speaker 1: Some big name acts.
Speaker 3: We didn't have as many music acts as we've had
Speaker 3: in the past, so some of the fellas from the
Speaker 3: past we're not in. Our buddy from Richmond did not
Speaker 3: submit a song this year. We lost our guy from
Speaker 3: from Flint, Michigan. He didn't send a song in obviously,
Speaker 3: our buddy in the Ukraine busy helping out the Ukrainian
Speaker 3: military and Jayscoop, so he wasn't part of it.
Speaker 1: But we had our.
Speaker 3: Favorite judge back, Inka Terror from New York as always
Speaker 3: wonderful classically trained musician.
Speaker 1: Look him up. He's known as Inca Warrior. You're gonna
Speaker 1: look him up. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 3: That's he's performed all over the world and he's a
Speaker 3: fan of the show. And he was with us as
Speaker 3: a judge. And we had some terrible comedy we had.
Speaker 3: We had Leprechaun sucked. I mean, there were some bad acts,
Speaker 3: but I mean people were trying. And the top four,
Speaker 3: the final four, if you will, we had Pam and
Speaker 3: Seattle who won last year, a classically trained musician who
Speaker 3: may or may not be friends with InKo Terror Christy
Speaker 3: in Kansas, who I like a She did like a
Speaker 3: Yankee doodle Dandy last year. This year she did an
Speaker 3: original song about watermelon, which I thought was great. I
Speaker 3: really like her her ability, and I hope she can
Speaker 3: be in this every year. I think she should win
Speaker 3: one of these years. I think she's great. And then
Speaker 3: Ohioal who is amazing and just wonderful and just knocked
Speaker 3: it out of.
Speaker 1: The park, but he didn't win. The winner.
Speaker 3: Coming out of left field, Rob in the three two
Speaker 3: one from the Sunshine State Wow and Rob did a
Speaker 3: song in a SpongeBob voice. It was a SpongeBob song
Speaker 3: about our show, and he won the Popular vote in
Speaker 3: the studio. He won the vote of the people. So
Speaker 3: congratulations to Rob in the three two one, you are
Speaker 3: the winner of the Mallet paloozat twenty twenty four and
Speaker 3: you deserved it. And we only had a couple people, Danny,
Speaker 3: that didn't show up. Normally there's a bunch of people
Speaker 3: that don't show up. We only had a couple, so
Speaker 3: overall it was a success and I love it. I
Speaker 3: love hearing entertainment and people are so talented and sometimes
Speaker 3: people just don't get a chance in life to show
Speaker 3: what the ability they have, and so this is a stage.
Speaker 3: Get your adrenaline going there and perform, and.
Speaker 1: So thank you. I do appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Pretty pretty, pretty cool. Ernie Banks would be proud. As
Speaker 3: I always say, Danny, it's a beautiful day for a
Speaker 3: radio show. Let's do two today and so Monday, Tuesday
Speaker 3: and Wednesday. It's exactly what I did as I was invited.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I saw this on social media.
Speaker 3: I was invited to sit in on the Rogan and
Speaker 3: Rodney show and Rogan was not there. Fred the Dean
Speaker 3: of LA Sports was gone on vacation.
Speaker 1: Instead of two pros and a cup of Joe it
Speaker 1: was no pros and two hose pretty much pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good name. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Rodney Pete, former Lions quarterback and played at SC
Speaker 3: he was gone. We think he was on Magic Johnson's
Speaker 3: boat in the south of France, but we don't know.
Speaker 3: But I said it with Jonas three days. I did
Speaker 3: Monday and Tuesday seven hours of live radio, and then
Speaker 3: on Wednesday we did six hours of live radio. Was
Speaker 3: not in Siberia. Actually didn't think it was all that difficult.
Speaker 3: And I feel like I was prepared for this, Danny,
Speaker 3: because back in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I was
Speaker 3: at the Salt Mine in the sweatshop. I want to
Speaker 3: thank my friends over at WEI in Boston because in
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen, pretty much for two solid years,
Speaker 3: I did two or three nights a week at Wei.
Speaker 3: So the way that would work, obviously, I was in
Speaker 3: Boston and I was doing it remotely.
Speaker 1: I loved your hockey takes back then.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you it was so funny. I had
Speaker 3: to do this thing called Red Sox Review, which is
Speaker 3: the Red Sox postgame talk show like Dodger Talk out here.
Speaker 3: So they said, hey, it's part of the night programming.
Speaker 3: When the Red Sox game ends, you got to get
Speaker 3: on there and talk about the Sox game.
Speaker 1: So it's fine.
Speaker 3: I watched the game on the satellite and then I'd
Speaker 3: talk about the game, but i'd have people, you know,
Speaker 3: let's go to John Leaving Finway talking about it was hilarious.
Speaker 3: It was wild, wild and crazy. But I did that
Speaker 3: two or three nights a week. So that was three
Speaker 3: hours of local radio in Boston and then the four
Speaker 3: hours on the overnight. And so I did that, like
Speaker 3: I said, two or three nights a week. But in
Speaker 3: those days, I couldn't do the Fox Show from the
Speaker 3: remote studio, so I had to drive in. So I
Speaker 3: would do the EI Show. I would then have one
Speaker 3: hour to get from my.
Speaker 1: Place.
Speaker 3: I was living in Glendora at the time, so I
Speaker 3: had one hour to get from there to Sherman Oaks,
Speaker 3: and if there was any kind of an accident or anything,
Speaker 3: I was completely porked.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 3: So but I was able to put it off. And
Speaker 3: so I'm I'm like, this is much much better now,
Speaker 3: but I want the record to show that I did
Speaker 3: still go in for the overnight show, and there was
Speaker 3: enough time between shows where I had a chance to
Speaker 3: kind of decompress for an hour and then crank the
Speaker 3: engine up again and get back on the horse with Jonas.
Speaker 1: Did you guys just rip on every LA team except
Speaker 1: the Clippers? Yeah? We I ripped the Dodgers. I mean Jonas.
Speaker 3: Jonas is an assassin, yeah, for the teams.
Speaker 1: And he's like you he if people are swimming this direction,
Speaker 1: he goes in the opposite direction.
Speaker 3: Well, I love the Dodgers, but I also hate bullshit. So, like,
Speaker 3: the trade deadline was.
Speaker 1: Going on, and uh, that.
Speaker 3: Swarmy Vassa who you know, he's the Dodger insider travels
Speaker 3: with the team.
Speaker 1: Oh I saw him on MLB Network the other day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he comes on there it's like an hour,
Speaker 3: half an hour to go before the deadline, and he's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Dodgers they got what they needed.
Speaker 3: You know, they got Tommy Edmond and they got Kopek
Speaker 3: from the from the White Sox.
Speaker 1: I think they're good, you know, company man. And I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: this is the freaking Dodgers.
Speaker 3: This isn't the nineteen eighties or nineties Dodgers. This is
Speaker 3: the modern Dodgers. This is not acceptable. This is embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, go ahead, get me a starting pitcher,
Speaker 3: get Jack Flaherty. And then it was so cool because
Speaker 3: literally three minutes until we were passing the baton over
Speaker 3: to Petrol some money, we had Victor brick on for
Speaker 3: a haikup and.
Speaker 1: No, God, that's award winning radio. I love Vic.
Speaker 3: But oh god, I get the flash, he said, Yoko
Speaker 3: Zuna of Radio. I get the flash. Dodgers have traded
Speaker 3: for Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tiger, you put that out into the universe. I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, there we go, there we go.
Speaker 3: Now I give the do I originally gave the Dodgers
Speaker 3: an A minus and then I lowered it to a
Speaker 3: B plus because Jack Filert will get hurt.
Speaker 1: But I don't care. I like that they got him.
Speaker 1: He's a so cow guy.
Speaker 3: I felt like a dinosaur, and you probably did too
Speaker 3: if you saw the photo that Jack Flherty's mom.
Speaker 1: Sent out him.
Speaker 3: As a toddler wearing a Dodger like onesie in nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety seven, when I was working on the Dodger flagshift
Speaker 3: station doing Dodger pregame programming.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3: Holy crap, where's the time gone? But anyway, I was
Speaker 3: happy about that, so it was fun a couple of days.
Speaker 1: The phrase of.
Speaker 3: The the phrase of the week. Now this is by request.
Speaker 3: The request came in from wild Man of Morgan, West Virginia.
Speaker 3: He says, it's the time of the year. Me, being
Speaker 3: a guy that works outdoors, I get soaked with sweat everywhere.
Speaker 3: I know what swamp ass is. But how did it
Speaker 3: come to be? And how can a guy prevent or
Speaker 3: counter against it? All right, so he wants us to
Speaker 3: look into swamp ass. All right, Now, this is an
Speaker 3: interesting request a wild man. And I imagine the humidity.
Speaker 3: I've not been to West Virginia, but I've been to Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: which is close to West Virginia, and I know how
Speaker 3: bad the weather can be there, so it's got to
Speaker 3: be even worse in West Virginia. So the term swamp
Speaker 3: ass is not all that old. It only goes back
Speaker 3: to the nineties, which I guess is a generation ago.
Speaker 3: Mid nineties, and it is said to have begun when
Speaker 3: an anonymous person on something called usenet called someone's mother
Speaker 3: swamp ass. They were in an argument about hockey, so
Speaker 3: likely some Canadian lads. The term first popped up in
Speaker 3: the Urban Dictionary in twenty oh two. It really took
Speaker 3: off about fifteen years ago when an actor named Nathan
Speaker 3: Fillin made a PSA about the dangers of developing swamp
Speaker 3: ass while gaming. And for those that don't know, it's
Speaker 3: obvious if you get in summertime, excessive moisture gets real
Speaker 3: moist in your ass crack, sweaty genitals and toukis and
Speaker 3: all that. Normally you have that sweat dripping down your
Speaker 3: butt crack, you have, your underwear gets wet, possibly some
Speaker 3: schafing that goes on itching and the worst part for
Speaker 3: many is the smell from swamp ass. And as far
Speaker 3: as what you can do, there's a bunch of products
Speaker 3: that you can get. There's powders that you can put
Speaker 3: on the swamp ass, and I don't know if any
Speaker 3: of them work. I have not used any of them,
Speaker 3: but there are all kinds of like anti monkey butt
Speaker 3: powder you can get.
Speaker 1: There's gold bond that type of stuff. So there you go.
Speaker 3: Any of those things knock yourself out. We don't really
Speaker 3: have to worry about that. Danny and Radio, we don't
Speaker 3: get it. Swamp ass sitting at.
Speaker 1: A radio studio. That was your ass crack tip of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 3: There you go for all your ass needs. Turn to
Speaker 3: the fifth hour. We're here to help you out. That's
Speaker 3: a drop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me add that to the metalcock. H Well,
Speaker 1: what the heck? Why not?
Speaker 3: Well we'll get out on that, Danny. It is Friday,
Speaker 3: the second day of August.
Speaker 1: Anything you want to promote here, I'm gonna have a
Speaker 1: fun Friday afternoon show today with Covino and Rich doing
Speaker 1: the game, not Chipotle Worker or WNBA player because the
Speaker 1: Olympics are going on. I've been doing chip Worker or Olympian.
Speaker 1: So you'll find out if we have a winner, a
Speaker 1: contestant on the line, who wins one of our water
Speaker 1: bottles or not. That's five to seven pm on the
Speaker 1: East side, and that's two to four pm in beautiful Chico, California,
Speaker 1: where it's one hundred and seventy degrees right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they have a big fire up there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's fire season now it's back. Didn't have
Speaker 3: a bad fire season last year or so. Oh, Southern
Speaker 3: California kind of was fortunate this summer so far.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll see what happens. I have a wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful rest of your day to day here on this Friday.
Speaker 1: Don't forget.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Saturday in Vegas we and lost wages in the
Speaker 3: botto tomorrow.
