A Bonus Malard monologue 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 4: in honor of the late great former Cub manager Lee 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 4: Ilia and Phillies manager who left this mortal coil. And 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 4: he left this world with a legendary microphone meltdown for 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 4: the ages, the Michael Angelo of the coaching Rant. People 25 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 4: talk about the greatest of all time. They did a 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 4: rant on my overnight show last night. You might have 27 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 4: heard it on the Ben Maler Show, and I mentioned 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 4: that people talk about who's the greatest quarterback in the NFL, 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 4: and some people will say Back in the day, they'd 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 4: say Joe Montana. Now everyone says, well, it's Tom Brady. 31 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 4: Tom Brady's the greatest of all time. They say who's 32 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 4: the greatest baseball player? Most people say, Babe Ruth is 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 4: the greatest baseball player. Oh, there's a name Willie Mays 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 4: or someone like that, but most people say Babe Ruth. 35 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 4: They say, who's the greatest basketball player of all time? 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: The real ones know it's Michael Jordan. The real ones 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: know it's Michael Jordan. 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 4: You say, who's the person that gave us the greatest 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 4: rant of all time into a news conference? 40 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: And that's Lee Ilia. 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: So that is the one that stands out, the Michelangelo 42 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 4: of the coaching Rant. So in his memory, in his honor, 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 4: we are cracking open the vault on the Fifth Hour podcast. 44 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: Here it's Benny's big board, not a list, not a 45 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 4: list to Terry in England. Now I was thinking of 46 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 4: doing this anyway, and then my senior advisor, a platinum 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 4: artist who is back in the mallor Palooza this year, 48 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: our friend Jayscoop, and he had messaged me. He works 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: in collaboration with just Josh, and he's like, this would 50 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 4: be a great idea. So the again, not a list. 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 4: I want to make sure that's on the record. 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: Not a list. 53 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: But this is Benny's big board, the five greatest microphone 54 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: meltdowns in US sports history. Now this is the coaching, 55 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 4: and I left a lot of the basketball. In fact, 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 4: there's no basketball in this. I can do a separate 57 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 4: subcategory in basketball. Lee Ilia was a baseball manager, of course, 58 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: and so this is almost all baseball and mostly football. 59 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: Because it's not an ordinary big board, it's a full on, 60 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 4: off the cuff, top of my dome compilation. These are 61 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 4: the most epic, unhinged rants to ever grace a presser, 62 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: at least that I remember today that I cobbled this together. 63 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: So if we missed any of your favorites, and we did, 64 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 4: you know we only have limited time here. 65 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: Hit us up. Let us know. 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: You can email me real fifth hour at gmail dot com, 67 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: We'll try to accommodate you. 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 4: Now, before we get to the five at the very 70 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: top of Big Ben's Big board, we have the honorable 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: mention category because we got to give props before we 72 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: get to the big dogs, the big dogs. We're going 73 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: to start out in Cincinnati, home of legendary show contributors 74 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 4: like just Josh, who we already mentioned, and Justin and Cincinnati. 75 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 4: So the Reds have been a glorified dumpster fire for years, 76 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 4: but one of the great rants, and it reached honorable 77 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 4: mentioned status, was a number of years back the Red 78 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 4: set of manager named Brian Price. Let's just say the 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: price was not right. As Price was upset, the Reds 80 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: beat writers had led out a secret about a roster 81 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: move the Reds were going to make before the team 82 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: announced it, and that led to a record setting seventy 83 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 4: seven f bombs in a tirade that while it didn't 84 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 4: make the top five, it did make honorable mention. Let's 85 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 4: give you a little taste of this. This is Brian 86 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: Price years ago the res and you're probably about ten 87 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 4: years ago or so. Listen to him, and he starts 88 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 4: out rather come and next thing you know, it's F this, 89 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: F that, F you blah blah blah. 90 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 91 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: You know, look, I don't need you guys to be 92 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: fans of the Reds. 93 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 6: I just need to know that if there's something that 94 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 6: we want to keep here, that it stays here. We 95 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 6: don't need to know that Tucker Barnhart's in the airport 96 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 6: when we haven't spoken to Kyle Skipworth. I think we 97 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 6: owe them and that kid the right to be called 98 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 6: and told that he's going to be sent down, as 99 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 6: opposed to reading that Tucker Barnhart's on his way and 100 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 6: from Louisville. I just I don't get it. I don't 101 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 6: get why it's got to be this way. Has it 102 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 6: always been this way? Where we just tell everybody everything? 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 6: So every opponent that we have has to know exactly 104 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 6: what we have, relievers are available, which guys are here, 105 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 6: and which guys aren't here when they can play what 106 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 6: they can do. It's nobody's in business. It's certainly not 107 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 6: the opponent's business. We've got to deal with this. I 108 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 6: like to talk, and I have spoken as candidly as 109 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 6: I can with you people. If if that's not good enough. 110 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 6: I won't say a thing. I'll go yes, sir, no certain, 111 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 6: and I can do that. But I've been as candid 112 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 6: as I can be about this team and our players, 113 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 6: and we got to deal with this. Every team that 114 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 6: we play has to know everything guy that's here and 115 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 6: what they can and can do. 116 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: Me so in disgrace and sick of it. 117 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 6: It's hard enough to win here to have every opponent 118 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 6: know exactly what we bring to the table every day. 119 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 5: I don't like it. 120 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying, to make it very clear. I 121 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 6: don't like the way that this is going at all. 122 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: I don't like it. 123 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 6: I don't think you guys need to know everything, and 124 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 6: I certainly don't think that you need to see something 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 6: and tweet it out there and make it in world event. 126 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 6: How do we benefit from them knowing that we don't 127 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 6: have Devin Mesarako? 128 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 5: How do we benefit from that they benefit from it? 129 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 6: I just want to know how we benefit from these 130 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 6: people knowing that we don't have a player here. Can 131 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 6: you answer that? How is that good for the Reds to? Yeah, well, 132 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 6: it's making my job harder, Sure it is, well, thank you. 133 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 6: I don't just don't know if that's what we're supposed 134 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 6: to do, or we supposed to open up everything here 135 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 6: for everybody to know all the time. So it's all 136 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 6: I want to know what your expectations are, because me, 137 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 6: if I got to tell these guys we got to 138 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 6: go out there and they know we don't have Devin Mesuraka, 139 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 6: what benefit is that to me as a manager and our. 140 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 5: Team to win a game? 141 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: All right? 142 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 4: So that Devin Mesurako or whatever the guy's name was, 143 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: and that was Brian pie seventy seven f bomps. That's 144 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 4: just a little taste of it. 145 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: Got kind of boring. He kept saying the F word, 146 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: but it got kind of boring. That was the meaty 147 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: part of it. 148 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 4: And this is the honorable mention on Big Ben's big board. 149 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 4: These are some of the great tie raids in honor 150 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 4: of Lee Ilia. Now he tried to find the top 151 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: audio on John McKay. 152 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: This is way back. 153 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: We're going back to the nineteen seventies, so this is 154 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: way over fifty years ago. John McKay was one of 155 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: the great college football coaches of all time. At the 156 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 4: University of Southern California. He wasn't getting paid a lot 157 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: of money. They didn't pay a lot of money back 158 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: in those days. He was getting low balled and near 159 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: the end of his career he's like, gos, screw it. 160 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were an expansion team and this 161 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 4: renegade owner, Hugh Culverhouse, who was despised, he actually was 162 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 4: like the godfather of the La Rams. 163 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: That's a whole different story. 164 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, the guy that owned the Bucks offered John McKay 165 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 4: to more than double his salary. They made him like 166 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 4: the highest paid coach in football at the time. So 167 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: John McKay left the University of Southern California and he 168 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 4: went all the way to Tampa to coach the Buccaneers. 169 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 4: And they were an expansion team. They were terrible, and 170 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 4: John McKay was a quote machine. Now one of the 171 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: great quotes of all time. I tried to find the auto, 172 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 4: I couldn't find it.

Mike 368 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: Singletary was the baddest man on the planet when he 369 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: played linebacker for Mike Ditka, and Dicka almost made this list. 370 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 4: We were trying to find there were a couple of 371 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 4: Mike Dicka rants we didn't. We weren't able to find 372 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 4: the audio. So we're going with Mike Singletary here at 373 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 4: number four. He was very briefly the forty nine ers 374 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 4: head coach, and they had a first round pick who 375 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 4: was a athletic gift from the gods. Fact, we had 376 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 4: this guy on this podcast a while back, Vernon Davis, 377 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 4: and things were not going well early in Vernon Davis's 378 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 4: career built like a Donnas. He wasn't playing up to 379 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 4: Mike Singletary's standard as the forty nine er coach, and 380 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 4: so Mike Singletary, in front of the media on national 381 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 4: television in a postgame news conference, pantched Vernon Davis. In fact, 382 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 4: it got to the point where Mike Singletary on Mike, 383 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: you'll hear it here. Mike Singletary not just called out 384 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 4: Vernon Davis, it was a public execution where he essentially 385 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 4: said they would be better off playing a man short. 386 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape. 387 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 4: Here is Mike Singletary whose number four. 388 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: Take a listen, Vernon, Vernon. 389 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 12: Just was something that I told everybody at the very 390 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 12: beginning of the week. I will not tolerate players that 391 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 12: think it's about them when it's about the team and 392 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 12: we cannot make we cannot make decisions that costs the 393 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 12: team and then come off the sideline and it's nonchalant, No, 394 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 12: you know what. This is how I believe. Okay, I'm 395 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 12: from the old school. 396 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: I believe this. I would rather play with ten people. 397 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 12: And just get penalized all the way until we got 398 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 12: to do something else, rather than play with eleven when 399 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 12: I know that right now that person has not sold 400 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 12: out to be a part of this team. It is 401 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 12: more about them than it is about the team. Cannot 402 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 12: play with him, cannot win with him, cannot coach with him, 403 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 12: can't do it. 404 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: So good, so good. I was really pulling for Mike Singletary. 405 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 4: I remember being on the air at Fox Sports Radio. 406 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: It was like, I want this. I need Mike Singletary 407 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 4: to be a good head coach, just because of stuff 408 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 4: like that. Unfortunately, he sucked as a head coach. It 409 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 4: didn't work out, but we will always have that, and 410 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 4: that is Mike Singletary, number four, number four on the 411 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 4: big Board. 412 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: Not a list. 413 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: Cannot play with him, cannot win with him, cannot coach 414 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: with him, can't do it, can't do it. And I 415 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 4: realize we're on an audio only thing here on the podcast. 416 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 4: But Mike Singletary's eyes, it's like he's a superpower.

The players in those 569 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 4: days had to go out to the outfield. The clubhouse 570 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 4: was in center field, so they had to go out 571 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 4: to the outfield. The Chicago Cup fans were throwing all 572 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 4: over the players, and lee Ilia found out about this, 573 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: and he did not appreciate it. It is the gold standard. 574 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 4: There are some lines in here that can never be matched. 575 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 4: They're the all time greatest. He went on and on 576 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 4: and on.

The fucking 606 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 8: changes that have happened in the Cup organization are multipoles, 607 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 8: all right. They don't show because we're five and fourteen, 608 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 8: And unfortunately that's the criteria of them. Some fifteen motherfucking 609 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 8: percent that come out to day baseball. The other eighty 610 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 8: five percent are earning a living. It'll take more than 611 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 8: a five and thirteen or five and fourteen to destroy 612 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 8: the makeup of this club. I guarantee you that there's 613 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 8: some fucking pros out there that want to fucking play 614 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 8: this game, but you're stuck in a fucking stigma.

Once we hit that fucking groove, it'll flow, 625 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 8: and it will flow. The talent's there. I don't know 626 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 8: how to make it any clearancey. I'm frustrated. I'll guarantee 627 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 8: I'm frustrated. It'd be different if I walked in this 628 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 8: room every day at eight thirty and saw a bunch 629 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 8: of guys they didn't give a shit. They give a 630 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 8: shit and It's a tough natural ad a tough National 631 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 8: League period. 632 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: All right. 633 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 4: So there it is Lee Ilia, the classic meltdown. Poh 634 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 4: rest in peace, Lee Ilia. A couple of notes on that. 635 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 4: I actually ran into Lee Ilia years ago. The Dodgers 636 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 4: hired him as a advisor consultant. Ned Kaletti was the 637 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 4: general manager of the Dodgers, and I saw Lee he lived. 638 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 4: I think he lived in Atlanta at the time. He 639 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 4: lived on the East Coast somewhere. However, he occasionally would 640 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 4: show up to Dodger Stadium, and many people who are 641 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 4: my buddies in the media knew that I love that sound. 642 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 4: That's the greatest sund You're not liked that, and they 643 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 4: would say, hey, there's Lee Ilia. So I saw him 644 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 4: in the immediate dining room there at Dodger Stadium. I 645 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 4: also met the Les Grobstein, he also lost Less, Les Grobstein, 646 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 4: who was the Chicago radio man that recorded that I 647 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 4: ran into Less. Actually in Indianapolis. I was there for 648 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 4: a basketball game. Les was there as well, and he 649 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 4: told me the story. I was introduced to him. 650 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: And I was introduced to him as. 651 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 4: The guy that got the audio recorded the audio. There's 652 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 4: two radio legends that recorded Meltdown's Paul Olden, who's now 653 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 4: the voice of Yankee Stadium, the public address announcer. He 654 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 4: recorded Losorta, Kingson's performance and all that, and so that 655 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 4: was that was one of the greats. And I was 656 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 4: gonna include Tommy in this, and I was like, there's 657 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 4: like a different sub category for Tommy.
