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 gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something Special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere.
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g
Speaker 1: Radio and Happy Sunday.
Speaker 3: Sunday Sunday is we are hanging out at.
Speaker 1: The final Sunday in the month of April, the twenty
Speaker 1: sixth day of the month. And Danny, we have survived
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and the Raiders.
Speaker 4: We talked about Sanders on yesterday's podcast. We didn't even
Speaker 4: get to Ashton Genty.
Speaker 1: I didn't talk about the Raiders much on my overnight
Speaker 1: show Friday.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised though, because Ashton Genty caught a lot of headlines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like my thing was, I think he's going to
Speaker 1: be a good player, but I wouldn't have taken him
Speaker 1: in the top ten.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like both those things are true.
Speaker 1: Like you, you don't really need to take a running
Speaker 1: back that high. I think he'll be good, but you
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback, you know. The offensive line's not that.
Speaker 4: You know it's it's but you know who wanted him
Speaker 4: so bad. In fact, they were on the phone trying
Speaker 4: to trade up right before the Raiders to grab him.
Speaker 4: And that's the Denver Broncos. They've been loving some Ashton
Speaker 4: Genty for months and months and months, and so I
Speaker 4: feel like the Raiders did two things. They finally replaced
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs, which, as you know, their offense was a mess.
Speaker 4: They couldn't control the ball anymore without Jacobs in the backfield.
Speaker 4: They were last dead last in the NFL. And rushing
Speaker 4: part of that's the O line, which they did address
Speaker 4: a little bit. But listen, if you can block the
Speaker 4: Broncos because I didn't want bo Nix and Ashton Genty together.
Speaker 4: And g know Smith, I know you don't like him,
Speaker 4: but he's a much better quarterback when he has the
Speaker 4: play action and he needs an effective running back for
Speaker 4: that to take place.
Speaker 1: All right, I know you love the Raiders, and I'm
Speaker 1: not here to urinate on your parade. I'm just I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have taken a running back in the top ten.
Speaker 4: I just says me.
Speaker 3: They will see.
Speaker 1: I just have vibes of Sequon Barkley with the Giants
Speaker 1: or Henry with the Titans, where it's like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: kind of good player. Not much going on in terms
Speaker 1: of like the wow factor and all that.
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's get to the mail bag.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Hit that button right there. People have questions, we have answers.
Speaker 3: Hit the button. Here we go.
Speaker 1: It's all right, thank you very much, ohio al. The
Speaker 1: first one comes from Alf from the podcast about Balls.
Speaker 1: Alf writes and says, gentlemen, since we're about a month
Speaker 1: deep into the baseball season, I feel we should reflect
Speaker 1: and pay homage to the great mister Baseball, Bob Uker.
Speaker 1: Do either of you have any great Bob Buker stories?
Speaker 1: Perhaps like the time they had pause They had a
Speaker 1: pause production of Mister Belvidere because Christopher Hewett aka mister
Speaker 1: Belvidere sat on his own balls that had to.
Speaker 3: Be rushed to the hospital. Uh that is that is great.
Speaker 1: And Alf sent me a link true true story of
Speaker 1: recording of an episode Mister Belvidere had to be delayed
Speaker 1: for a week because the actor actually injured his testicles.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 1: I not thought about that in some time. Joining us
Speaker 1: right now at the King of Milwaukee, Bob Yuker, Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're right here, and you know why, I want to
Speaker 1: preface this. There are no gifts and nothing to be
Speaker 1: gotten from you for being on the me.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 5: Having you tell me there's nothing involved outside of just
Speaker 5: a handshake is not very surprising. I've watched you now
Speaker 5: for the last couple of days here in Cincinnati, and
Speaker 5: just watching what you do, watching what you wear, and
Speaker 5: watching your friends or those who you think are your friends,
Speaker 5: people laughing behind your back. But for those people and
Speaker 5: your whole scenario, here were your studio. This is a
Speaker 5: real nice studio in the back of the toilet, down
Speaker 5: in the dugout and the Reds dugout.
Speaker 3: Lucky we got that. Oh, I have no problem with it.
Speaker 4: I'm leaving. You have to stay here, ah, Bob. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Andy Furman interviewed Bob Bucher back in the day.
Speaker 1: So I have a couple ran into Bob Bucher several
Speaker 1: times when I was doing the Dodger stuff and out
Speaker 1: at the Dodger games in the press box. My favorite
Speaker 1: Bob Bucker story of all though, was I was lucky
Speaker 1: to be a fly on the wall in the room
Speaker 1: in the media dining room at the Old County Stadium
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. Was doing stuff with the Dodgers, and it
Speaker 1: was like a random night. It's like a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Speaker 1: It was during the week, and in the media dining room,
Speaker 1: it's about two hours, hour and a half before the
Speaker 1: game begins, the Brewers.
Speaker 3: And the Dodgers, and.
Speaker 1: The Uker's in there holding court. Vin Scully was still
Speaker 1: traveling with the Dodgers, so Vin's in there and they're
Speaker 1: telling stories and Yuker. It was hilarious because this is
Speaker 1: like late July, early August. I just remember being pretty
Speaker 1: hot in Milwaukee. I thought, well, I didn't.
Speaker 3: Get that hot in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: But it was pretty sultry, humid hot in Milwaukee. And
Speaker 1: it's not like Southern heat, but it's hot and humid,
Speaker 1: sticky whatever. So they they gave out the minor league.
Speaker 1: It must have been August, because they gave out the
Speaker 1: minor league player of the Year for the Brewers and
Speaker 1: it was some kid that was playing in a ball
Speaker 1: and Bob Yucker went on this rant about and the
Speaker 1: Brewers had been bad for a number of years at
Speaker 1: a time, they had made the playoffs in a while,
Speaker 1: and it was so funny to listen to him go
Speaker 1: on this rant, mister baseball about how every year the
Speaker 1: Brewers player of the year in the minor leagues is
Speaker 1: in a ball because once they get to double A,
Speaker 1: they can't hit.
Speaker 3: And he was going on this rant and.
Speaker 1: Then and then he also he also was it was
Speaker 1: yapping about and I don't know, I don't know. Do
Speaker 1: I want to tell I don't know. I want to
Speaker 1: tell you the story I know that he told. I
Speaker 1: don't want to share that yet because he's you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to rip. It's not really him, It's.
Speaker 4: Not Yeah, now you've gotta tell us.
Speaker 1: Uh, well, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It was an amusing Let's just say it was an
Speaker 3: amusing tale.
Speaker 1: Bob giving his perspective on what he thought some of
Speaker 1: the issues were with the current Brewers team. But I
Speaker 1: I love Bob Yorker, was great watching him when I
Speaker 1: was a little kid. Danny on the tonight show Wakwele
Speaker 1: used to. People used to watch late night TV and
Speaker 1: Bob Yuker would come on there, and Johnny Carson loved
Speaker 1: Bob Yuker and that was like a big deal.
Speaker 3: I'm dating myself, Johnny Carson. Who's Johnny Carson? I don't
Speaker 3: know who that is, but it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Rest in peace to Bob Buker and Harry Doyle, greatest
Speaker 1: play by play guy of all time, the great Harry
Speaker 1: Doyle on television.
Speaker 5: Anyway, right, Joss the bit outside, he tried the corner
Speaker 5: and missed.
Speaker 1: Then when he pushed the mic away, aw, we suck.
Speaker 4: Ben sucks.
Speaker 3: How dare you?
Speaker 1: Tony the Bay writes and he says, hey, Ben, have
Speaker 1: you ever bet hockey? And Danny g do you do
Speaker 1: any gambling at all? Says Tony in the Bay. So, Tony,
Speaker 1: I have bet on hockey. I've only done it a
Speaker 1: few times. It's not my go to sport. Even though
Speaker 1: I love gambling, I love winning more so. I picked
Speaker 1: my spots. I'm a selective gambler. I don't have to
Speaker 1: have action on every single game. That's not the way
Speaker 1: I approach things.
Speaker 3: Go. I don't go.
Speaker 1: Rare appropriate, but I go rare and I try to
Speaker 1: find spots that I think are value spots when I bet,
Speaker 1: and I don't watch hot enough hockey Tony in the Bay.
Speaker 1: I don't watch enough hockey where it's worth my time.
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the shitty teams the crappy teams,
Speaker 1: so I don't bet it that often. But if it's
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Finals, then I happen to be in
Speaker 1: Vegas or somewhere where I have access to some gambling
Speaker 1: and happen to be watching the game, I might put
Speaker 1: a couple of bets down and mess around with that.
Speaker 3: You're not a gamble though, right, Danny, You're not a gambler.
Speaker 4: No, I've only gambled a handful of times, and it's
Speaker 4: been when the Covino and Rich Show is in Vegas
Speaker 4: for a live broadcast. The guys usually it's boxing, and
Speaker 4: the guys, well, they'll gamble like knockout in the seventh,
Speaker 4: eighth or ninth round and they'll tell me you want
Speaker 4: fifty in on this, and they've won money like that before.
Speaker 4: But the two times I've done it, unfortunately it went
Speaker 4: the distance and it was money thrown on the casino floor.
Speaker 4: So two bad experiences for me. But you know, I
Speaker 4: think I'll try it again next time I go to Vegas.
Speaker 4: But I just grew up with a super religious mom,
Speaker 4: and gambling was like one of the big sins to
Speaker 4: my mom was gambling. So she put it in our
Speaker 4: heads if we had sex, we were gonna get aids
Speaker 4: and die, and if we gambled, God was gonna throw
Speaker 4: a lightning bolt down and kill us.
Speaker 3: Your mom kept you from every vice.
Speaker 1: Huh, look at that. That's disciplined mom, right.
Speaker 4: Well except drugs. She didn't tell me anything about that,
Speaker 4: so I got hooked at an early age. There you go.
Speaker 3: She should have covered all the bases.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what it's like, man, I the Jewish
Speaker 1: mom and I the everything everything to protect your mom.
Speaker 3: Everything's gonna kill you. Everything will kill you.
Speaker 1: Kevin Anders writes and says, Dear Ben and Danny g.
Speaker 1: Last week, I got to see the comedian Gabriel Fluffy
Speaker 1: Iglesias in concert tonight.
Speaker 3: Jerry Seinfeld, how about that?
Speaker 4: Wait to go?
Speaker 1: Kevin? Who are who are or were your favorite comedians?
Speaker 1: As from Kevin, the all time favorite was Carlin. Back
Speaker 1: in the day, I got to see George Carlin perform
Speaker 1: a couple of times. We've told the story. George Carlin
Speaker 1: was a huge sports talk radio fan and actually called
Speaker 1: sports talk radio. When I started doing sports radio in
Speaker 1: the nineties local LA sports radio. George from Venice was
Speaker 1: George Carlin, and George Carlin threw calling into the radio show,
Speaker 1: became friends with another talk show host, a buddy of
Speaker 1: mine that I knew back in the day name Lee Klein,
Speaker 1: and George and him were pals and hung out together
Speaker 1: a few times and then all that. But I love
Speaker 1: Carlin big fan is You know, a lot of the
Speaker 1: comedians I like are older now are dead. Chris Rock
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, there's tons of them. Guy Richard
Speaker 1: Jenny who died he killed himself, I think, but he
Speaker 1: was he was great back in the day. I have
Speaker 1: gone to see comedy that we have a friend that
Speaker 1: works at one of the comedy clubs, so we're able
Speaker 1: to go see some of the shows. I'm not good
Speaker 1: with the name Sames.
Speaker 3: I think there was some of it we.
Speaker 1: Saw a couple months ago that I thought was really good,
Speaker 1: but not enough for me to write down their name.
Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser out there, you Danny,
Speaker 1: any comedians that stand out to you that passed or
Speaker 1: present that you'd like to share with class.
Speaker 4: Oh, when I was a little kid, my stepdad would
Speaker 4: put Richard Pryor records on his record player and other legend. Yeah. Kids,
Speaker 4: if you don't know what a record player is, just
Speaker 4: google it. Uh google it. Although record players have made
Speaker 4: a comeback as a retro thing the past few years,
Speaker 4: he actually had classic Richard Pryor records and they were
Speaker 4: classic then, So that's how old that goes back. But
Speaker 4: Richard Pryor with the crackling of the vinyl and then
Speaker 4: he laughed his ass off to the Bill Cosby stand
Speaker 4: up specials. I think there were two, like two specific
Speaker 4: ones that got played a lot, especially if you had
Speaker 4: HBO or Cinemax. Way back in the day, he thought
Speaker 4: Bill Osby was the funniest shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you allowed to say that?
Speaker 4: Still?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean this was yeah, this was before you know
Speaker 4: we what we know now.
Speaker 2: The child wanted chocolate cake for breakfast.
Speaker 3: How ridiculous.
Speaker 2: And someone in my brain hooked under chocolate cake and
Speaker 2: saw the ingredients eggs. Eggs are in chocolate cake, and milk,
Speaker 2: oh goody, and wheat.
Speaker 3: Yes, nutrition, What do you want?
Speaker 2: Said chocolate cake, chocolate cake coming up, sliced it.
Speaker 1: For There were no roofies involved when you were watching
Speaker 1: Cosby and all that. That's cool though, Kevin, you got
Speaker 1: to see uh sein Fell. There you're gonna see Seinfeld
Speaker 1: and Fluffy.
Speaker 3: My wife.
Speaker 1: I believe love's Fluffy on the TV. I've seen like
Speaker 1: some of those Netflix.
Speaker 3: I think he's some come shows up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, he's good and he's got a loyal following.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: Sleepy Dave from Ohio right since says they've been and Danny,
Speaker 1: hope you guys enjoyed the draft. Did you see that?
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell says that they have to shorten the first
Speaker 1: round of the draft. Ben and Danny, why do you
Speaker 1: think they want to shorten the first round of the draft?
Speaker 1: Sleepy Dave say as well. I think it's obvious, Danny. Television, right,
Speaker 1: it's all about television. It's a tention span. It's a
Speaker 1: lot shorter now than it used to be. Remember they
Speaker 1: cut down on the time between picks. It used to
Speaker 1: be even longer in the in the NFL draft. But
Speaker 1: I guess Goddell's saying they want to keep it shorter
Speaker 1: because it's got to be a was it an hour
Speaker 1: and a half or two? Like a two hour window?
Speaker 1: Is that what they're looking for. I know the NBA,
Speaker 1: there's a sweet spot they I know in basketball they
Speaker 1: want the games to end like by ten o'clock, So
Speaker 1: start at like seven, broadcast off the air by ten,
Speaker 1: so it's about three hours with the game being two
Speaker 1: and a half hours.
Speaker 3: I'm going to assume in.
Speaker 1: The NFL is the same way that they're just at
Speaker 1: the behest of television and television wants the TV broadcast.
Speaker 4: To be shorter. Yeah, it is a made for TV,
Speaker 4: primetime TV product.
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing too, though it seems a
Speaker 1: little too forced to me. I know I'm nitpicking here.
Speaker 1: It's so scripted. It was the first round of the
Speaker 1: draft back on Thursday. I'm watching it, and they have
Speaker 1: the fans who are in a lot of those fans
Speaker 1: are invited. They're like the biggest fans of each team, right,
Speaker 1: isn't that?
Speaker 3: I think Eddie.
Speaker 1: Told me this with his wife was invited to the
Speaker 1: draft one year. But they invite like the super fan
Speaker 1: clubs to represent so they know where they all are,
Speaker 1: and then when so and so, when the Jets are
Speaker 1: on the clock, they have a shot of some fireman
Speaker 1: ed ripoff or whatever in the crowd. But it just
Speaker 1: seems a little too much because they would show the
Speaker 1: Seahawks making their pick and then they'd flash to the
Speaker 1: reaction shot of the fans and the crowd's going crazy.
Speaker 1: They have no idea who this person is, right, it
Speaker 1: was some random player from some school they've never heard of,
Speaker 1: and like it, it's just like they're going crazy like
Speaker 1: they've just won the super Bowl. It seemed a little forced,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. But as far as Dave a
Speaker 1: sleepy day, as Danny said, it's and we pointed out here,
Speaker 1: there's whatever television wants. They want to help them out
Speaker 1: and they want the broadcast to fit into a nice window,
Speaker 1: and so that's what that's all about.
Speaker 3: Wait until they make the draft, Danny.
Speaker 1: Next year, it'll be we'll have the first half of
Speaker 1: the first round on Thursday, We'll have the second half
Speaker 1: of the first round on Friday. We'll do the second
Speaker 1: round and the third round on Saturday, and then the
Speaker 1: rest will be on Sunday. So we'll make it a
Speaker 1: four day, four daytion day.
Speaker 4: In the first primetime Thursday, I'm sure they would love
Speaker 4: it to be a quick ninety minutes. How can we
Speaker 4: fit ninety spot con serious into ninety minutes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well why not? Oscar from Vegas writes in on
Speaker 1: the mail bag. He says, guys, hope your weekend is
Speaker 1: going well. I saw this story and I thought of
Speaker 1: the podcast, and he sent me a link here. I
Speaker 1: guess this is in some Dutch town. They accidentally threw
Speaker 1: away an Andy Warhol portrait worth all thousands of dollars
Speaker 1: in this this Dutch down hall accidentally, So Oscar says,
Speaker 1: have either of you guys thrown out anything that was
Speaker 1: considered valuable? Now I have nothing that I don't recall
Speaker 1: in anything being that valuable that I've thrown away. I
Speaker 1: mean nothing. I don't have an Andy Warhol painting worth
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars? Obviously.
Speaker 3: How does that happen?
Speaker 4: Though? Dandy?
Speaker 1: Like, how does one how does one f up so much?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What what kind of trip is one person? What kind
Speaker 1: of Ayahuascar is one? On?
Speaker 4: Where they're likea, well, there's some mistakes sometimes when people move.
Speaker 4: Because I remember seeing a story about how this lady,
Speaker 4: this family they packed these It was like, what's it called?
Speaker 4: I don't have any china. China they packed right, and
Speaker 4: they packed it inside a dresser and taped it up,
Speaker 4: and it was handed down through generations of their family.
Speaker 4: It was worth a lot of money. This lady sold
Speaker 4: the dresser online and forgot that they had packed that
Speaker 4: china inside the dresser, and the person who bought it
Speaker 4: was honest and got a hold of her and let
Speaker 4: her know that when they opened it up and took
Speaker 4: the tape off of it, inside was the family china.
Speaker 4: So I think sometimes people make those mistakes when they
Speaker 4: are kind of protecting things in a move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I this is not financially, it's more sentimental. But
Speaker 1: my some of my relatives when their parents passed away,
Speaker 1: there was a battle over their parents' possessions and they
Speaker 1: ended up getting into a court battle, and one of
Speaker 1: the people just gave everything at an estate sale, like
Speaker 1: all the family photos and all that stuff and so,
Speaker 1: which is not again it's not in terms of value
Speaker 1: to anybody other than the people in the family, but
Speaker 1: it was so terrible, like people that were buying stuff
Speaker 1: at this estate sale were contacting remember the family, saying
Speaker 1: I think I have all of your family photos, like
Speaker 1: I don't need them. What am I gonna do with them?
Speaker 1: You know they're trying to get get them back. But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's pretty pretty wild. Next up is keV or Kevin.
Speaker 1: He says, keV here from Mission Viejo, Hey, shout out
Speaker 1: saddle Back College. Kept my guy, go Gauchos. I'm not
Speaker 1: called the Gauchos day. That's that's that's bad. Racist. Yes, racist,
Speaker 1: I don't even know, like Bobcats, some stupid name. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Kevin says, I was at the Angel game the other
Speaker 1: night and I saw what happened with Tommy Fam. Do
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on it? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: this apparently happened the other night, Danny. Tommy Fam is
Speaker 1: a very angry man. He plays for the Pirates now
Speaker 1: and he has been suspended by Baseball because there was
Speaker 1: an incident down the left field line in Anaheim and
Speaker 1: a fan made contact with Tommy f and and Tommy
Speaker 1: did not like it, and he made a jerking motion
Speaker 1: to it was it was like he was how would
Speaker 1: you describe it, Danny, what Tommy Fam was doing. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think he was.
Speaker 3: Like a water gun. It was like a water gun.
Speaker 1: He was trying to my right hand was getting a workout,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Yeah, And he ended up getting
Speaker 1: suspended for a game.
Speaker 3: He should have played basketball.
Speaker 1: He would have been fine, rights whatever, didn't your guy
Speaker 1: from the Wolves there, he grabbed his do you grab
Speaker 1: grab his junk?
Speaker 3: He did? He said he's got the big d Yeah.
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards was mixing it up with some fans inside
Speaker 4: Crypto and he he was talking about money at first,
Speaker 4: and he said, I make more money than you, and
Speaker 4: I have a bigger dick than you. And he grabbed
Speaker 4: his junk, Give me.
Speaker 3: A little taste of that dick.
Speaker 1: And then the three three women got pregnant right at
Speaker 1: that moment. It was wild. But as far as far
Speaker 1: as Tommy fam is concerned, I I guess Kevin's point
Speaker 1: is that he's talking about getting a lawyer and is
Speaker 1: there a case there? And he wanted to know what
Speaker 1: we thought you could sue if what.
Speaker 3: Are you going to get? I mean, how much money
Speaker 3: does the thingian have? And like I saw a rep.
Speaker 1: I didn't seem like there's anything there. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know. But did Tommy Fam think he could stand
Speaker 1: in the outfield at a Major League baseball ballpark? And
Speaker 1: do the jerking motion without getting into trouble. Did he
Speaker 1: think that was okay?
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know, Yeah, it looked very Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 4: Johnny Manzelish. Baseball's old school, so it's harder to get
Speaker 4: away with that in the majors.
Speaker 1: It also did not help that was caught on camera.
Speaker 1: That did not help his case as well. Reggie from
Speaker 1: Detroit writes, and he says, hey, Ben and Danny, Ben,
Speaker 1: were you flattered or annoyed with the caller this week
Speaker 1: from NAPA who said he's not a sports fan but
Speaker 1: loves your show?
Speaker 3: It was hard to tell the way you were talking
Speaker 3: to him.
Speaker 1: That's from Reggie. So Reggie, I will say I was
Speaker 1: flattered and annoyed all of the above, Reggie, all of
Speaker 1: the above. I was flattered that someone that does not
Speaker 1: like sports listens. We get a few of those people
Speaker 1: every now and again, so I was flattered that someone
Speaker 1: that's not a big sports fan would listen. But I
Speaker 1: was also annoyed because I mean, there's a lot of sports.
Speaker 1: It's some monologues of things that are sports related, so
Speaker 1: it's a it's a little bit of both. I would
Speaker 1: say it was more flattered than annoyed, but the there
Speaker 1: was some annoyance. There was some annoyance there Reveggie absolutely
Speaker 1: little annoyance. Joe from New York Right Since says Hey
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny Ben Rice of the Yankees this Week,
Speaker 1: said that when he was a kid at Finway Park,
Speaker 1: he went on a tour of Finway Park, the home
Speaker 1: of the Red Sox, of course, and as a Yankee fan,
Speaker 1: they took him down near the pesky pole in right
Speaker 1: field during a Finway Park tour and he wrote Yankees
Speaker 1: Rule on the pesky pole. Joe says, should he be
Speaker 1: celebrated for his Yankee fandom or criticized for being a vandal?
Speaker 3: That's from Joe.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's vandal.
Speaker 3: What's the word? He said, vandal? But it's not vandal.
Speaker 1: What is the word? It's when you maybe it is
Speaker 1: he vandalized the pesky pole?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is that the word?
Speaker 4: I guess? I think so? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Job by me?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, music he said he was. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know the story, Joe. You say he was a.
Speaker 3: Kid or whatever. I mean, he's a kid.
Speaker 1: It's you know, a knucklehead.
Speaker 3: Whatever. It's a cute little story.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of story, Danny, if the great Vin
Speaker 1: Scully second Vin Sculley reference this weekend. If Vin Sculley
Speaker 1: was alive, he would have done ten minutes on little
Speaker 1: Ben Rice walking through Finway and uh and and putting
Speaker 1: graffiti on the Pesky pole. Fertilized, fertilized.
Speaker 4: That's fertilizer. Listen, that is fertilized.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so good.
Speaker 2: We go.
Speaker 1: I got I got in trouble when I took a
Speaker 1: shot at Johnny Pesky. I got a listener in Boston
Speaker 1: was furious with me.
Speaker 4: It was just one of.
Speaker 1: Those offhanded comments, kind of a goofy comment and all that.
Speaker 1: And this guy I was on a war path like
Speaker 1: contacting we were on WEI at the time, contacted the
Speaker 1: station to file a complaint like it was unreal, Like
Speaker 1: this is like the biggest Johnny Pesky fan.
Speaker 3: So Joe.
Speaker 1: When I see the Pesky poll or hear the name
Speaker 1: Johnny Pesky, I do get triggered a little bit. I
Speaker 1: get triggered, just a little bit there.
Speaker 3: Uh for sure? All right, what is next year?
Speaker 1: Let's see Mike In was conson rights in and says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, is the NFL draft more important than education?
Speaker 1: And then he sent a story here which I guess
Speaker 1: I probably should have given. First, Saint Mark Lutheran School,
Speaker 1: which is a quarter mile do you see this, Danny,
Speaker 1: quarter mile from lambeau Field. They are an institution in
Speaker 1: Green Bay, according to the story here that Mike sent,
Speaker 1: and they closed the entire school that on Saint Mark
Speaker 1: Lutheran School this week. Yes, because they were charging for parking.
Speaker 3: They were trying.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know what, I'm okay with it. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of money for you know what it says here
Speaker 1: they're charging one hundred and fifty dollars for parking. How
Speaker 1: could you have a problem with that? Like that seems
Speaker 1: to make sense, Danny to me. If you how many
Speaker 1: other events do you have? You have eight eight packer
Speaker 1: games a year, eight or nine depending on the year
Speaker 1: packer games. So like, what's the if your local school
Speaker 1: and you can make that kind of money, Like, what's
Speaker 1: the problem?
Speaker 3: Seriously? I don't I don't think there is a problem.
Speaker 1: So anyway, thank you, Thank.

Speaker 3: Unknown on.
Speaker 1: The mail Bag, and Bill says that experts discovered actual
Speaker 1: evidence for the first time that proves that gladiators fought lions.
Speaker 1: They found the remains of a gladiator that had clearly
Speaker 1: been eaten they think by a.

Speaker 1: why gladiators?
Speaker 4: And line?
Speaker 1: How the hell would I know, Bill? I mean, I wouldn't.
