Speaker 1: a few minutes and also just drop a bunch of
Speaker 1: names after that about people I've run across who are
Speaker 1: famous broadcasters, and I am like a teenager talking about
Speaker 1: their favorite band. Uh, that's how that goes. Welcome in
Speaker 1: here for this podcast. Here West of the four oh five,
Speaker 1: David Gascon's here. He is his own sound effects like
Speaker 1: a douche bag. He was actually coming in on the
Speaker 1: douche Canoe. And today's like, you know, I got a
Speaker 1: got an audience here at work because I actually drive
Speaker 1: into work. I don't have fanboy is that slurping and
Speaker 1: suck up to you every so often? But you know
Speaker 1: it's a different listen. I'm a man of the people.
Speaker 1: Guess can I'll go on, I'll go to a truck stop.
Speaker 1: I've dodged a lot lizards, and I'll hang out with
Speaker 1: fans of the show one on one just to catch up,
Speaker 1: because that's how I role. I'm not some name dropping
Speaker 1: snob like yourself. We can go back to the audio
Speaker 1: from yesterday if you like, can talk about name well,
Speaker 1: I was telling stories though. That was telling stories. That
Speaker 1: was not being a Bragget like yourself, Mr lady. I
Speaker 1: wasn't telling any stories about celebrities and sportscasters that I
Speaker 1: was hanging out with that Laker games or Clipper games
Speaker 1: or things of that nature. That's fine. Yeah, well listen
Speaker 1: and we all know who is the drama queen on
Speaker 1: the show, who is high maintenance, who is the attention
Speaker 1: for David? Yeah? Yeah, it's uh, it's so eloquently put,
Speaker 1: especially when we have a chronicle of mishaps for Ben Mally,
Speaker 1: not David Gascon. Oh my goll bladder all the roof
Speaker 1: of my mouth up. Oh my car Oh traffic, Oh
Speaker 1: what was it? Oh? I don't get enough airtime. I
Speaker 1: don't get to ask enough questions. I have to drive
Speaker 1: into the radio station. Oh my god, it's so hard.
Speaker 1: Oh I have to take my carriage, my horse and
Speaker 1: carriage into the radio station. It's so terrible. I couldn't
Speaker 1: be attacked by someone with a pitchfork on the side
Speaker 1: of the rule of drama. Yeah, David Gascon. To be fair,
Speaker 1: there there is boards that are boarding up the windows
Speaker 1: of the studio around here, so I know you haven't
Speaker 1: been here, but we have so we had some mandated
Speaker 1: stuff prior to the election that they started boarding up
Speaker 1: buildings and windows in the area. And they're still boarded up. Yes,
Speaker 1: oddly enough, they are still boarded up as we So
Speaker 1: there's no view of the street now it's all covered up. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a view of the street, but on the opposite
Speaker 1: side of the building. Yes, everything's boarded up like we're connected.
Speaker 1: Oh you know. I actually I was actually there. I
Speaker 1: had to pick up my mail. I went over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I wondered what was I thought somebody had broken that
Speaker 1: window in the courtyard. Yeah, because there's a there's a
Speaker 1: nice showcase entrance into the Geico Fox Sports radio studios
Speaker 1: there the I Heart building and at the Premier Networks,
Speaker 1: and I saw I thought somebody must have broken that
Speaker 1: by accident or something. No, now that you tell me,
Speaker 1: that makes sense that they just put that up there
Speaker 1: to avoid it being broken by hoodlums. Now do you
Speaker 1: think that that will be removed after a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks in the January, Uh? Yeah, I would think when
Speaker 1: the next president is sworn in, whether that's Trump again
Speaker 1: or something. Looks like it's gonna be Biden. Then they'll
Speaker 1: have a h they'll take it down. They'll take it
Speaker 1: down at that point, right, why would they leave it up?
Speaker 1: I didn't know though. Every time I every time I've gone,
Speaker 1: I haven't been there much over the last few months,
Speaker 1: obviously this is March. But every time I've gone, there's
Speaker 1: these lunatics across the street at the galleria, screaming in
Speaker 1: hanging on drums and get a damn job, get a life,
Speaker 1: you losers, complaining about every time they're complaining about something.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what they're I don't even know
Speaker 1: what they're complaining about it. They're just not They're screaming
Speaker 1: and shouting and yelling, and I mean, my god. Now,
Speaker 1: the last time that you came into the studio, did
Speaker 1: you pick up a certain bottle of bourbon or whiskey?
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny, but I did not. And
Speaker 1: uh we you know this, listen. We love the Malley Militia.
Speaker 1: I love them more than you guess, gun um. But
Speaker 1: it's it's a goose chase with the mail. He goes,
Speaker 1: there's you go to, there's a drop off point for
Speaker 1: the mail. Then there's the mail room which has like
Speaker 1: the mail for every one of the Premiere networks. So
Speaker 1: you go in there and there's stacks of mail for
Speaker 1: Limbaugh and Hannity and all these big Premiere Network stars,
Speaker 1: and then there's a little wee bit pile, a little
Speaker 1: bit for people like me, but you have to find
Speaker 1: it's like you try to find, and there's all the
Speaker 1: executives that work at the company and all that. So
Speaker 1: I went in. I went in to get the bull jerky,
Speaker 1: which I was able to do. But I found a
Speaker 1: few things, a lot of stuff from like Gordon in Tacoma, uh,
Speaker 1: and Alph the alien o Pinter. If you want some
Speaker 1: dill pickle dill pickle chips, uh, he sent a big
Speaker 1: box here. Uh. You know, there's a little candy which
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay off of right now, a little
Speaker 1: too much that I overdid. Uh. And then there's like
Speaker 1: some potato chips now. But I did not find the bourbon.
Speaker 1: And also there was a guy that said he was
Speaker 1: gonna send me a hat and he told me and
Speaker 1: I didn't see that either. So you don't let me
Speaker 1: know if you actually some of my people said we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it, and they don't do it. I understand,
Speaker 1: but just let us know if you actually do it,
Speaker 1: because I I have to track this down and it's
Speaker 1: not it's not that hard, but it takes a little time,
Speaker 1: and so you know, let me know. But I did
Speaker 1: not get the bourbon, and we have not heard from
Speaker 1: the Power of Couple in Kentucky here the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks via email the questions. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're they're busy doing other stuff here. Hopefully they're okay,
Speaker 1: maybe they're making babies. You can make babies and still
Speaker 1: send a question, and you know, let's in the podcast
Speaker 1: can listen to the podcast while making babies. That'd be
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I think that's a lot of women
Speaker 1: enjoy listening to the podcast a little as a little
Speaker 1: ask Benn and while you're procreating. Yes, yes, exactly, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: So anyway, on this podcast today, you've got you Gotta
Speaker 1: be joking and Tommy points. In addition to that, we
Speaker 1: will also have a pop quiz. Alright, pop quiz, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: sound good? All right, So we'll start with you gotta
Speaker 1: be joking. So last night we did Benny versus the Penny,
Speaker 1: an iconic bit started on talk radio. Move to the
Speaker 1: podcast now it's on it's a standalone YouTube show. I
Speaker 1: think one of the great up and coming YouTube shows.
Speaker 1: It's upboard and onward for Benny Versus Depending. The audience
Speaker 1: is growing every week. We're building our base. We're building
Speaker 1: our foundation for bigger and better things with Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penny. Now we've got professional production. Yeah, we've got
Speaker 1: a major network television quality with the graphics and all that.
Speaker 1: So it's really cool. But on Thursday, Thursday morning, when
Speaker 1: I got done with the radio show, I opened up
Speaker 1: a file on my computer and I clicked on it,
Speaker 1: and this is where I keep my my notes on
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny, like little game notes and stuff. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I got a very unwelcome surprise. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm a methodical handicapping style. Uh. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: a cow grazing in the prairie. I'm slow and sturdy,
Speaker 1: and I believe that wins the race. So it's my
Speaker 1: method to the Mallard madness. And so I get ready.
Speaker 1: I'm very meticulous and I have a little chicken scratch
Speaker 1: that i'll take notes. I start usually on Tuesday kind
Speaker 1: of looking ahead, doing some handicapping, and I'll go through slowly,
Speaker 1: you know, randomly throw some things together that I think
Speaker 1: might happen in the NFL, which is amazing because I
Speaker 1: could probably just do this without any prep and do
Speaker 1: as crappy as I've done. But anyway, so it's a
Speaker 1: hobby of mine and you have a workman like approach. Well,
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, I clicked open the notes which I've been
Speaker 1: putting together for a couple of days, and I was gobsmacked.
Speaker 1: I was flabbergasted. It was all gone. There was nothing left.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I must have I was tired. I
Speaker 1: must have clicked the wrong button. And it was like
Speaker 1: a bad magic act. Presto abra cadabra, and I had
Speaker 1: made it through. I don't remember exactly how many think
Speaker 1: it was like six or seven of the games. This weekend.
Speaker 1: I had put some notes down that I had for
Speaker 1: the for the games, and all of that blood, sweat
Speaker 1: and tears gone, gonzo. It all vanished like a fart
Speaker 1: in the wind. It was. It was so I I
Speaker 1: had to scramble at the end of the week there.
Speaker 1: I know not to that I'm asking for sympathy, but
Speaker 1: I had to scramble to make up. I was trying
Speaker 1: to remember what I had, my my thoughts that I
Speaker 1: had jotted down for the games. I didn't remember most
Speaker 1: of them, which I'm happy about, but um I always
Speaker 1: like to have that, you know, just in case I forget.
Speaker 1: So it's a little bit different because unlike shows that
Speaker 1: we see on television and maybe even on radio, certainly
Speaker 1: not on the digital platforms. But you're the only nerd
Speaker 1: that actually takes every fucking game, which is remarkable, Like you,
Speaker 1: every single guy. I don't bet every game though, I
Speaker 1: want to be cleared on that, but I will handicap
Speaker 1: every game. I will handicap every Yeah, usually like no,
Speaker 1: here's the picture of the week, top five picks. You know,
Speaker 1: that's it, and that's what you should do. Because if
Speaker 1: you do that, that's good to then you avoid having
Speaker 1: to talk about you know, like the the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: You don't have to talk about the New York Giants
Speaker 1: and there their situation with Eyes Philadelphia, that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's a crap game, or you know, the mismatch games
Speaker 1: or Washington Detroit. You wouldn't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1: Um So, but yeah, that was my week here with
Speaker 1: with the preparation for Benny versus the Penny little little blood,
Speaker 1: sweat and tears, and Benny versus the Penny, which looks
Speaker 1: cosmetically a lot better. Did you get much praise with
Speaker 1: your Yes, it looked a very good professional network television
Speaker 1: green screen, and I saw that I can use that
Speaker 1: on Zoom and I can use that on some other
Speaker 1: other things as well. So yeah, no, what was what
Speaker 1: was the story of week of last week's Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penny? Because it seemed like there was a draw
Speaker 1: and that was between your green screen and your significant
Speaker 1: other that ambushed the chat and all of the flocking
Speaker 1: to her. Yes, yes, they ignored us and were more
Speaker 1: interested in her and rightfully so more interesting than me.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Well, I think she got in there and
Speaker 1: she wanted to be polite. She just wanted to check
Speaker 1: in and see what's going on show, so she did
Speaker 1: that and then like people kept asking her questions, so
Speaker 1: she didn't want to be rude and leave. Even so
Speaker 1: it turned into a whole rigamor or she let the
Speaker 1: dogs loose when she said she loves ranch dressing. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: no one's perfect, so you know it. So this proves
Speaker 1: that we can and we can hang out opposite to track,
Speaker 1: as you know, and so he can have Republicans and
Speaker 1: Democrats can be friends. And people are like ranch dressing
Speaker 1: and don't like ranch dressing can be married. That can't happen.
Speaker 1: It can't happen. We have though, there's like a point
Speaker 1: of demarcation there. There's a separation between my side and
Speaker 1: her side with the ranch dressing, and so she she
Speaker 1: keeps it in a special place away from my food.
Speaker 1: I don't want my food soiled by the devil's blood,
Speaker 1: which is ranch dressing. And uh yeah, So that's that's
Speaker 1: how we that's how we do it. Is that how
Speaker 1: you guys cooked too, though, Like if you have and
Speaker 1: when you guys are preparing lunch or dinner, do you
Speaker 1: guys actually have separate sides that you'll cook onto that way?
Speaker 1: You're well a little bit because my wife eats gluten
Speaker 1: free most of the time, so there's no gluten and
Speaker 1: I'm a big gluten guy, although I'm cutting back on
Speaker 1: that a little bit these days. But uh yeah, So
Speaker 1: we'll we'll make like a chicken parm or something like that,
Speaker 1: and she'll use the gluten free stuff and I'll use
Speaker 1: the evil gluten and and all that. It's not that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like an extra bowl and it's like
Speaker 1: one extra bowl. So that's fine. Now is your is
Speaker 1: your I'm glad you approve of that, guest gon, I'm
Speaker 1: glad we've got the guest gone seal of approval. No.
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, like, in terms of you guys
Speaker 1: splitting things up, it's not like a house divided where
Speaker 1: God forbid, Like you're just repulsed by what you know,
Speaker 1: there's not an actual red stripe down the middle of
Speaker 1: the house. There's not liking that. You know the old
Speaker 1: TV trope from back in the day, right, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple gets into a fight, and always the TV
Speaker 1: tropes that you go on the couch, right, the guy
Speaker 1: always sleeps on the couch, right, And I think about
Speaker 1: about some of those things. Uh, there's a great website
Speaker 1: if you want to throw down a rabbit hole. It's
Speaker 1: called TV tropes dot org and they have all of them.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. It is, it is. They did a tremendous
Speaker 1: job on that that website, Like any any narrative you
Speaker 1: want from television or cartoons or whatever, television news. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they did a great jobs. Wonderful speaking of that in
Speaker 1: the archives, God rest his soul. But people were showing
Speaker 1: old outtakes of Alex Trebec over the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: It's some of the promos he did. I would, I mean,
Speaker 1: i'd bust up. But when you hear someone that's so
Speaker 1: polite eight and sincere talk and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they started dropping f bombs, it's pretty damn good.
Speaker 1: And so watching Alex Trebek do some of his out
Speaker 1: takes and just start cussing in the middle of pretty
Speaker 1: it's pretty solid. Well, the story about Rebecca that I loved,
Speaker 1: and I had not heard it before, and we mentioned
Speaker 1: it on the radio show, but I don't think we
Speaker 1: spent enough time on it. That Alex Trebek was up
Speaker 1: to be the Hockey Night and Canada guy. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. And if he had gotten that job,
Speaker 1: he would have never, I would assume, never have ended
Speaker 1: up as the Jeopardy guy. And no, it would have
Speaker 1: been big in Canada, and he's a Canadian guy and
Speaker 1: all that, and so that would have been good. But
Speaker 1: I mean, jeez, it's like it's like I told the story,
Speaker 1: It's like Vince Scully uh. You know, he explained years
Speaker 1: ago that he wanted to be the guy at the
Speaker 1: radio station in DC that introduced the President, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: the President of the United States with the State of
Speaker 1: the Union, you know, And that was the guy at
Speaker 1: the radio station at d C got to do that
Speaker 1: for the whole country and that was a big deal.
Speaker 1: And Scully was like the back up to the guy.
Speaker 1: And then he got offered a job by Red Barber.
Speaker 1: But it's Alex Trebeck could have been a CBC broadcaster
Speaker 1: Hockey Night in Canada. Would you turn down your dream
Speaker 1: job in sports to do what Alex Trebek did for
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and get paid his salary? Yeah, I if I
Speaker 1: got offered a game show. Yeah. Reminds me of another
Speaker 1: story that I heard from Pat Sajack, because Pat was
Speaker 1: doing local television in l A. And he was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't actually do this game show or not.
Speaker 1: You know something, Sometimes these things don't work, and sometimes
Speaker 1: they do. And he's still doing Wheel of Fortune. You
Speaker 1: think he was on Channel four News, he would still
Speaker 1: be doing the Channel four News. It's a it's wild
Speaker 1: they it's it's him and Vanah White. And then even
Speaker 1: on the news. I like Colleen Williams and a bunch
Speaker 1: of Jim Hill. These people never fucking age. Well there's
Speaker 1: reasons for that, I I know, you know, it's absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1: I know it's it's a lot of cosmetics. But these
Speaker 1: people are still humming along and still doing great work
Speaker 1: on television. Yeah. But but Pat say, Jack was working
Speaker 1: at k NBC in the nineteen seventies, and uh, he's
Speaker 1: I guess he was like a weather guy or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then he came out for a few years he
Speaker 1: was like the full time weather guy. And how easy
Speaker 1: a gig is that at the weather in California? There's
Speaker 1: no change. Southern California didn't change much at all. And
Speaker 1: uh and then like in the early eighties, MERV Griffin
Speaker 1: is like, hey, you wanna you want to host a
Speaker 1: game show? And uh, yeah he did. I remember he
Speaker 1: told the story. I heard the story. I was at
Speaker 1: Student Ahan's funeral and Pat spoke at student hands fear
Speaker 1: believe it or not. Yeah, and Pat told the story
Speaker 1: about how like, you know, he was kidding around about
Speaker 1: how like stew told him not to take the job
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you know, he took the job obviously,
Speaker 1: and the rest is if there was one game show
Speaker 1: you would love to host, what is that one? Oh Dealer,
Speaker 1: no Deal, No no, No. I like dealer, no deal.
Speaker 1: You know what I like? Old school though, No wammy,
Speaker 1: no wammy, no wammy. Big money, big money, big money,
Speaker 1: big money, Press your Lucke, press your luck, exactly right.
Speaker 1: I love that show when I was when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, man that was That was it as a
Speaker 1: kid watching that, oh Man, And then I liked Dick
Speaker 1: Clark was fantastic. So he did the hundred thousand dollar Pyramid. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: I forget who he is, but he was a host
Speaker 1: here in l A. And I think he lives in
Speaker 1: Arizona now. But he used to host Hollywood Squares. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You remember, you know you're talking about
Speaker 1: set pretty Hollywood Squares when they had the back in
Speaker 1: the day, like back in the in the seventies, seventies, eighties, nineties. Um, gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to forget who are trying to remember who
Speaker 1: it was? I remember Shadows Stevens was on that show
Speaker 1: a lot, but it was him. I'm trying to think. Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't know. At the time, I
Speaker 1: probably know what the person looks like if I saw him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I'm trying to remember. But John Davidson?
Speaker 1: Was it John Davidson? Now I'm trying to remember now
Speaker 1: who it was? So those those two games were a
Speaker 1: favorite named that Peter Marshall. Was it Peter Marshall? No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't Peter all right, I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure who was it. That show hasn't been on in
Speaker 1: a long time, Hollywood Squares. It was on for a
Speaker 1: good stretch, right, that was on the sixties and the
Speaker 1: eighties and the nineties, and yeah, a long time. Why
Speaker 1: why don't they bring that? Well, I guess it's hard
Speaker 1: to bring it back because like everyone's kind of a
Speaker 1: celebrity these days with the internet. Yeah, that's true, Like
Speaker 1: it's watered down what a celebrity is, hasn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Pretty much? So they were a big Gene Rayburn? Is
Speaker 1: that who was? I don't know. Come on, giving you
Speaker 1: some good names here, they're they're really good press. Your
Speaker 1: Luck was fantastic though, Oh you know what I liked?
Speaker 1: Also was the I forget the name of it. Was
Speaker 1: it Dealer? No Deal? Maybe it was Dealer, the one
Speaker 1: where they would dress up in Halloween costumes and they
Speaker 1: you know, act crazy and they you know, do you
Speaker 1: want to take the deal or do you want to
Speaker 1: take what's behind door? You know, kurta and Number one?
Speaker 1: Or you know that that show Chuck Woory. Oh Chuck Woolery. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah yeah, Chuck Woolery. There we go, Bob Barker,
Speaker 1: of course I remember Chuck Woolery, though, is the host
Speaker 1: of that that relationship game show? Thing? Was Love connection?
Speaker 1: Was that someone was? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it was. I
Speaker 1: think it was called Love Connections. I'm pretty pretty sure
Speaker 1: that was that was his deal back in the day.
Speaker 1: So we had some good we had some We had
Speaker 1: really good game shows back in the day. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're as as popular now as they used
Speaker 1: to be. Part of it's just because the the amount
Speaker 1: of content that's out there. Yeah, there were some great
Speaker 1: game shows absolutely back back in the day. Alright, So
Speaker 1: are you ready for story time? Are you ready for
Speaker 1: story time? Alright? So, earlier this week, the great Tommy
Speaker 1: Heinson passed away at age eighties six. I was hoping
Speaker 1: to get Tommy on the podcast. We had Dick Stockton
Speaker 1: on uh and Tommy was calling games with Dick Stockton
Speaker 1: back in the day. But for sixty four years, Tommy
Speaker 1: Heinson had been an institution for the Boston Celtics in
Speaker 1: the Boston sports scene. He was a player, he was
Speaker 1: a coach, he was a broadcaster, he was a team ambassador.
Speaker 1: All of that in a bag of chips. And even
Speaker 1: though he wasn't born in Massachuset, he was born in Jersey.
Speaker 1: He was bred in Massachusetts, I think in Worcester. And
Speaker 1: from what I read this the other day, I blew
Speaker 1: me away. Tommy Hindson was part of all seventeen Boston championships.
Speaker 1: He won eight as a player too as a coach,
Speaker 1: and the rest he was broadcasting for the other Celtic championships.
Speaker 1: So he was there. He's been there for all seventeen championships.
Speaker 1: And when I was a kid, my first real taste
Speaker 1: of the NBA, as I remember, I used to watch
Speaker 1: NBA against the first I really remember with the NBA
Speaker 1: Final games that was a big deal, and that was
Speaker 1: Dick Stockton and Tommy Heinson calling the games. And then
Speaker 1: I would watch him later on when he did the
Speaker 1: Celtic games on the satellite and he would b rate
Speaker 1: the officials and and he just basically did. Tommy Heinson
Speaker 1: style was to take what Johnny Most the a Celtic
Speaker 1: play by play guy done who he knew, and just
Speaker 1: kind of take his stick and run with it. But
Speaker 1: are pass in live crossed? One night I had dinner
Speaker 1: with Tommy Heinson. How crazy is that? Kiss? I had
Speaker 1: dinner with the great Tommy Heinsen? Where did you have
Speaker 1: dinner at? I'm gonna tell you the story right now.
Speaker 1: Settle in for story time with Benny. Are you excited
Speaker 1: for story time with Benny? Casually? I'm just kidding, all right,
Speaker 1: So let's let's go back in the way back machine,
Speaker 1: the hot tub time machine, however you want to call it.
Speaker 1: The year was, but it was the very end of
Speaker 1: it was New Year's Eve, right we were heading into
Speaker 1: the calendar was about to flip. So this is fourteen
Speaker 1: years ago. It's been almost fifteen because we're almost at
Speaker 1: the end of twenty thank god. So the Clippers are
Speaker 1: playing the Celtics at Staples set Her and having no
Speaker 1: life and having no girlfriend. I was freeloading, and I
Speaker 1: was hanging out. I hung out every night at a
Speaker 1: different event. I was a basketball hockey during the wintertime,
Speaker 1: and during the summer, I was at baseball game. So
Speaker 1: I was hanging out the chicker and press room at
Speaker 1: at Staples Center. And and so here's and I wanna,
Speaker 1: I wanna put a cavey on it. This is how
Speaker 1: I remember the night. You know, our memories changed over
Speaker 1: the years, and we remember very little off and but
Speaker 1: I I remember this because this was an eventful night.
Speaker 1: And this was one of those nights you kind of remember. Right,
Speaker 1: there's a few days in your life that you kind
Speaker 1: of flashback and you're like, you remember fondly. So I
Speaker 1: was with my guy Lee Klein, who we've had on
Speaker 1: the podcast The Prince of Darkness Lee Line, and so
Speaker 1: our our routine at these games. Lee was out with me.
Speaker 1: He was running shotgun with me, and so we would
Speaker 1: hang out in the chicker and press room, showing down
Speaker 1: on the press, grub, schmoozing, going around. We had a
Speaker 1: bounced from table to table. We didn't have a normal table.
Speaker 1: We kind of bounced around with a it. So we're
Speaker 1: doing our routine. New Year's Eve a game I think
Speaker 1: started about six thirty, so this is probably maybe we're
Speaker 1: on four thirty in the afternoon, like between four thirty
Speaker 1: and like five thirty roughly. Um, so we're doing it.
Speaker 1: And and so we're sitting at a table doing our thing,
Speaker 1: you know, shooting the ship with some of the guys,
Speaker 1: some of the reporters, some of the writers, the people
Speaker 1: who worked for the Clippers, and in Pops, Tommy Heinz
Speaker 1: and Mike Gorman who's the play by play guy for
Speaker 1: the Celtics, and they just randomly happened to sit down
Speaker 1: at our table to have their their pregame meal, and so,
Speaker 1: you know, here's an opportunity, and that Tommy was very
Speaker 1: reserved and all that, but you know it wasn't intentional.
Speaker 1: He didn't know who the hell I was. So anyway,
Speaker 1: of course Lee started the conversation, you know, asking him
Speaker 1: about some some Celtics you know, back in the day,
Speaker 1: and the floodgates just opened, and then we were all
Speaker 1: involved in the conversation. It was amazing. Tommy Hinson talked
Speaker 1: about the early days in Boston trying to trying to
Speaker 1: make basketball popular and how they were trying to get
Speaker 1: kids to play basketball in high schools and they didn't
Speaker 1: have high school basketball in Massachusetts, and in part of
Speaker 1: the Northeast there and and uh and the other thing.
Speaker 1: I there's a few things I remember about that conversation
Speaker 1: that that stuck with me. But he swore this was
Speaker 1: hilarious because Tommy was known as just slaying the Lakers
Speaker 1: when he did the CBS games, and everyone who liked
Speaker 1: the Lakers hated him, and that's why I like Tommy anyway.
Speaker 1: So Tommy, we're just having a casual meal, you know,
Speaker 1: off the record, just shooting the crap and b sing
Speaker 1: and all that. And Tommy swore at that dinner that
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties showtime Lakers was a rip off of
Speaker 1: the Celtics, that pat Riley had just stolen the Bill
Speaker 1: Scharman style of basketball. Bill Scharman an old Celtic. I
Speaker 1: know he worked for the Lakers as well. But you know,
Speaker 1: Tommy's giving the whole, the whole Rigamo roar on that,
Speaker 1: which was pretty funny. He was going into great detail
Speaker 1: about the Lakers of the eighties and how they were
Speaker 1: just you know, it was a rip off of what
Speaker 1: the Celtics did back in the day. It was hilarious.
Speaker 1: And uh, and he also told a funny story about
Speaker 1: Red Arbach, who he claimed, and I know he's told
Speaker 1: this to other people, but he said, like he wouldn't
Speaker 1: rip Bill Russell or Couzy, the stars of those Celtic teams.
Speaker 1: So he just unloaded on Heinsen because the other guys,
Speaker 1: I forget what he said, like they were the leaders
Speaker 1: of the team or whatever, and they were great. But
Speaker 1: you know, so ar Bok picked on him. And I
Speaker 1: mean the thing that this last like thirty forty minutes
Speaker 1: or something like that, it was. It was great. It
Speaker 1: was awesome and very fond memories of that one night
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. Now Tommy in that thick New England accent, uh,
Speaker 1: just ouzing Boston and all that, just going on and on.
Speaker 1: And he also all the you know he won the
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, Tommy Hindsen. You know how much
Speaker 1: he got for that pennies on the dollar two that
Speaker 1: was his bonus two bucks. In fact, the story about
Speaker 1: Heisen is that he the money was so crappy in
Speaker 1: the NBA in those olden days that when he was
Speaker 1: offered the Celtic coaching job, he seriously considered not taking
Speaker 1: it to sell life insurance instead, because you can make
Speaker 1: more money selling life insurance than coaching the Celtics. That
Speaker 1: reminds me of the scene from Major League. Hey, it's
Speaker 1: Charlie Doyle. You want to manage the Indians? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got a guy on the outline for some white walls,
Speaker 1: you know that old Yeah, what was the great scenes
Speaker 1: of all time when when you guys were eating? What
Speaker 1: was his what was his personality? Like? What was this
Speaker 1: PERSONA was pretty calm. He wasn't like the over the
Speaker 1: top screaming and shouting. Yeah, it was a very very
Speaker 1: calm conversation. You know, it's just reminiscing. And one of
Speaker 1: the funny things that kind of led into the conversation
Speaker 1: was on that night Walter Walter McCarty was on the
Speaker 1: Clippers and that was the guy if you remember maybe
Speaker 1: you don't, but Tommy Heinson, when he was calling the
Speaker 1: Celtic games, fell in love with Walter McCarty of all people,
Speaker 1: and he would yell and cheer whenever Walter did anything.
Speaker 1: Who was, let's be honest, a marginal NBA player, right,
Speaker 1: Walter McCarty and he I know Walter, he would shout
Speaker 1: and so this is actually pretty fune. So we asked
Speaker 1: because Walter was on the Clippers at that point. He
Speaker 1: wasn't backup, he wasn't playing much at all, but the
Speaker 1: Clippers were playing cells. So we're like, hey, Walters on
Speaker 1: the Clippers, you're excited. And Tommy while he's eating his
Speaker 1: you know, chicken parm or whatever they have there, I
Speaker 1: forget what they had that night. But Tommy Heinson then
Speaker 1: explains to us that the reason he fell in love
Speaker 1: with wal To McCarty is because calling the Celtic games
Speaker 1: had become boring. Not boring, I don't boring is the
Speaker 1: right word that he used the right adjective. But the
Speaker 1: Celtics had a very slow plotting team. Um, the offense
Speaker 1: had been bogged down. They had guys like Purvis Ellison,
Speaker 1: Dana Barrows was at the end of his career. That
Speaker 1: was like that year of the Celtics. I think they
Speaker 1: had Dee Brown, who doesn't strike me as a guy
Speaker 1: that's bogging down the office. But anyway, Um, so Tommy
Speaker 1: saw Walter McCarty as this young athletic guy that was
Speaker 1: you know, that's how he liked basketball, Tommy, right, He
Speaker 1: liked the guys that could run around and and move
Speaker 1: and and so he just loved the energetic way that
Speaker 1: Walter McCarty played for the Celtics, and so he completely
Speaker 1: fell in love with Walter and uh, and so that's
Speaker 1: the legend of Walter McCarty. But rest in peace to
Speaker 1: Tommy Heinsen and uh great broadcasting career and obviously before
Speaker 1: my time it was a player and a coach. That's
Speaker 1: as you talk about dying breed and the way of
Speaker 1: the world with social media and all that. It's hard
Speaker 1: to imagine, but maybe this will happen that anyone playing
Speaker 1: today would follow that outlined, you know what I mean? Like, yes,
Speaker 1: all those year sixty years with the Celtics, over sixty years,
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying who who would be the equivalent of
Speaker 1: a player that's playing today. Someone say, Derek Jeter with
Speaker 1: the Yankees, but Jeter has already left the Yankees. He's
Speaker 1: now the Marlins owner. Yeah. The only person I could
Speaker 1: have actually thought of like that it would have been
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant had he been still alive. But then again,
Speaker 1: with him he went into Hollywood. Yeah, he was in
Speaker 1: the documentaries and all that stuff. And Manning and Manning
Speaker 1: obviously left Indie left Denver, Brady leaves Tampa Bay. You
Speaker 1: don't have anyone like that in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: Back to see Brady going back to the Patriots, But
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna He doesn't strike me as
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that's gonna want to go into football.
Speaker 1: He he wants to sell his quackery. You know, he's
Speaker 1: got all that TV twelve stuff that he's hat Hawkins,
Speaker 1: so he wants to do that. Yeah, so baseball, anybody
Speaker 1: in baseball. Yeah, I don't Mike Trout, but he's an
Speaker 1: East Coast guy. When he's done playing, he's gonna go
Speaker 1: back to Philadelphia or Jersey or whatever and hang out
Speaker 1: there to his do his thing. Yeah, I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't see anybody in among the fourth for North
Speaker 1: American sports that would be a lifer. Not even I
Speaker 1: mean for what Lebron's done. Lebron is already a vagabond.
Speaker 1: He's been all over the basketball world, and he'll probably
Speaker 1: I don't think Little Lakers are his last team. I
Speaker 1: bet you he plays with somebody else before he's he's
Speaker 1: done in the NBA. Yeah, I would think he'll go
Speaker 1: maybe go back to Cleveland, if you know, he plays
Speaker 1: long enough for his to be in the NBA and
Speaker 1: the Cavs just conveniently have to draft. Just happened to draft.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this could happen, look brawny, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's no chance of that happening, right, there's no
Speaker 1: The NBA is not gonna set that up at all.
Speaker 1: That would be wrong. That would be wrong. That would
Speaker 1: be the first, That would be a first in NBA history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they never do that kind of stuff. They never ever
Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff. All right, So we have
Speaker 1: pop quiz. You want to get to the pop quiz here,
Speaker 1: you're good for the pop quiz, yes, all right. So
Speaker 1: these are things I found on the internet, and we'll
Speaker 1: do a few of these right now on the pop quiz.
Speaker 1: I have no notice that since we had the Babylon
Speaker 1: Be on. It's just the Babylon be became popular. You've
Speaker 1: gone away from b or not to be. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's two played out. It's too trendy. That's the problem
Speaker 1: because west of the four or five guys were trending. No,
Speaker 1: we were trend setters. Yeah, I have the I have
Speaker 1: the odds on before I get to pop quiz, have
Speaker 1: the odds on. You can actually bet on who the
Speaker 1: next Jeopard, the host will be I saw some of those.
Speaker 1: I have a full list. I just got sent this.
Speaker 1: My guy, Jimmy Shapiro sent this from from bet online.
Speaker 1: If it's George Stefanopolis, I will carve out my eyes.
Speaker 1: You're a car back, guys. Uh, well, let me give
Speaker 1: you you want me to give you the guys the
Speaker 1: longest shot here. It's always fund some of the names
Speaker 1: they put on their thousand of one shot. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: on no Way. Yeah, did you see that Trump? If
Speaker 1: he he's almost better off. I hate saying losing for him.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. Right because Biden comes president. Fine,
Speaker 1: Trump then gets a hundred million dollar book television deal,
Speaker 1: he will be he's still eligible to run for president
Speaker 1: in and he'll just spend the next four years campaigning
Speaker 1: to be the president in right, So, and he'd make
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars doing it, and he's the odds
Speaker 1: on favorite to win in the r n C in Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Alex for financially for him, that would
Speaker 1: actually be better if Biden becomes president, because then he
Speaker 1: can make the hundred million, do some television and and
Speaker 1: then bounce back a few years down, Like, who else
Speaker 1: do you have? Oprah Winfrey is a hundred one. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. That's a job. You gotta show up.
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan sixty six to one. No, he's not. That's
Speaker 1: a big pay day though, from what he's getting right
Speaker 1: now doing his podcasts and of course the UFC. Now
Speaker 1: he's making a lot of money on the podcast he's
Speaker 1: doing well. Uh. Aaron Andrews, no way, no chance. Uh.
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, Yeah, you can see that. Steve Harvey loves
Speaker 1: game shows. I don't know if he'd be allowed to
Speaker 1: contractually to do that, Howie Mandel. Steve Harvey is forty
Speaker 1: t one. As I said, who else? Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: here page down. Drew Drew Carey is on this list.
Speaker 1: Wolf Blitzer is one. I think it's too much of
Speaker 1: a similarity between him and Alex Trebeck. Ryan Seacrest is
Speaker 1: only eighteen to one. Way, Pat say, Jack sixteen to one,
Speaker 1: can't do it? Neil de gross Tyson, that would be great,
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. Yes, that would be pretty catastic. Did
Speaker 1: I say John Stewart? Did I say his name Piers
Speaker 1: Morgan week? No, Piers Morgan, John Stewart's coming back doing
Speaker 1: some TV something. He's doing show again. Yeah. Uh, Katie Kuric, No, no,
Speaker 1: that's not Yeah. The top three are LaVar Burton nine,
Speaker 1: George Stefa Stefanopolis at thirteen to four, and the favorite.
Speaker 1: You know what, the favorite is the No, who's the favorite?
Speaker 1: Ken Jennings, Ken is the favorite? Yeah? Are you a
Speaker 1: big Jeopardy guy anyway? No? No, I mean we we
Speaker 1: when I was young. We were watching because you know,
Speaker 1: my my mom and dad would like to play along,
Speaker 1: you know, because they were smart. But I'm dumb. I'm dumb.
Speaker 1: So but I'll watch it. You know, it's cool, it's
Speaker 1: fun show. I feel smart, You really feel smart when
Speaker 1: you get something right, you feel like, oh man, I
Speaker 1: nailed that one. Yeah, but they don't usually have categories.
Speaker 1: I would do well And it is great Dodger relief
Speaker 1: pictures in the eighties for a thousand, Alex. But when
Speaker 1: they go the opposite way, though, and they start asking
Speaker 1: these contestants sports questions and they're not even close. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: how awkward is it gonna be? Though? When they I
Speaker 1: know Alex Frebec before he passed, he had taped a
Speaker 1: bunch of episodes, but at some point those are gonna
Speaker 1: run out. Yes, and oh man, it's gonna be I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be wild. All right, let's do some pop quiz. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you temperature please. Eight of people say they have never
Speaker 1: thoroughly cleaned this. What is it their toilet? No, people
Speaker 1: clean their toilet the microwave, Yeah right, you. My dad
Speaker 1: loves the microwave. He cannot stand waiting. The food tastes
Speaker 1: so much better in the oven. But my my old
Speaker 1: man loves the microwave. He'll put anything in the microwave.
Speaker 1: And because he has no patience. Yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: really like the microwave. I like to put stuff in
Speaker 1: the oven because it tastes better. How about this, do
Speaker 1: you ever microwave cold pizza? No? Because you actually it
Speaker 1: tastes better if you warm it up in the oven.
Speaker 1: That I never. I never warm it up once it
Speaker 1: goes cold. I just keep it cold. Oh, just keep
Speaker 1: it cold even but if you warm it up, it'll
Speaker 1: come back to life in the oven. Okay. So one
Speaker 1: thing you cannot do this is like rule number one.
Speaker 1: If you ever have a Gascons Rules of life, take notes.
Speaker 1: You can never microwave French fries that have gone cold.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a lot of things you can't put
Speaker 1: in the microwave because they taste rubbery and disgusting. Yes,
Speaker 1: what's the eat what's the food that tastes the greatest.
Speaker 1: I would say popcorn out of the microwave tastes fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's how you make popcorn. Put the microwave, if
Speaker 1: you can, put over the stove with the fire and
Speaker 1: all that. But all right, Americans eat about one billion
Speaker 1: pounds of this every year. What is it, one billion pounds?
Speaker 1: I ate this a lot when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: not as an adult. Walnuts, walmer. No tuna, Oh, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna.
Speaker 1: I've been eating a lot of tuna recently, is that right? Yeah? Okay,

Speaker 1: fix the diet. I can't fucking work out to the
Speaker 1: fullest anymore. Yeah, I know, I changed my dad sucks.

Speaker 1: later did that. But the Sean dels back in the
Speaker 1: end of the day. That was a I assume we
Speaker 1: would have said money money, but instead they just made
Speaker 1: it money money. Yeah. Alright. In Switzerland, if you buy

Speaker 1: not what I heard, alright. Fourteen percent of kids want
Speaker 1: to be this when they grow up. What is it? Um?
Speaker 1: An astronaut zookeeper? Wow? That does that lead to you
Speaker 1: being a veterinarian. A lot of kids want to be
Speaker 1: veterinarians and they want to work in the ocean and
Speaker 1: work with whales and things like that. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. When I was a little kid, when I
Speaker 1: my parents take me to San Diego Zoo or something
Speaker 1: the Wild Animal Park, I was like, Oh, I want
Speaker 1: to be you know, I want to work with animals.

Speaker 1: to sleep, Like if you watch something, you'll have a
Speaker 1: dream kind of related to that topic. Or if you
Speaker 1: talk to somebody about something, or you you know, what
Speaker 1: you saw a photo of someone, they'll be in your
Speaker 1: dream that kind of Yeah, that happens to me more
Speaker 1: often now than ever. All Right, this tends to happen
Speaker 1: more on a Tuesday than any other day of the week.
Speaker 1: What is it, Um, you get fired? Uh no, I
Speaker 1: think that's Friday. I've always been fired on Friday, and
Speaker 1: they make sure you work the whole week and they

Speaker 1: a news last one. According to new survey, four of
Speaker 1: us have never performed this very simple task which was
Speaker 1: a staple of the world for decades and decades. Um,
Speaker 1: can you give me a hint. It's related to interacting
Speaker 1: with other human beings. In a way of interacting with
Speaker 1: other human being, how about shaking hands? Uh? Well, now
Speaker 1: no one's shaking hands because of the corona. But no,
Speaker 1: that's not it. Uh. The answer is writing a letter,
Speaker 1: actual pen paper letter. Interesting, I have done that in
Speaker 1: my life, but I'm old. Yeah, have you ever written
Speaker 1: a letter of pen and pay? I have, unfortunately, and
Speaker 1: they have not been discarded. I don't think they've been
Speaker 1: discarded or torn up. But the box you have a
Speaker 1: box of letters that you've written, like the the old
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln thing right where you have remember that story
Speaker 1: we've talked about it here where you you get upset
Speaker 1: with someone and the lost art of the unsent letter, right,
Speaker 1: you know, you'd write a horrible hot letter, complain nasty words,
Speaker 1: and then you put in a drawer and never said it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've I've written and then no, I've written in sense
Speaker 1: and then I immediately delete. If I've done it on
Speaker 1: my computer, what you've written and sent. Yeah, so what's
Speaker 1: the point of deleting and if you already wrote it
Speaker 1: and sent it because the copy of that, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be reminded of the copy. Oh it's
Speaker 1: like it's like when you have pictures, Like you have
