Making This up as I Go

and Danny G Radio. Because four hours a night are not enough, we do this eight days a week and a Friday podcast. Now. Normally on Friday we have someone in here and I shoot the crap with them and someone who either I know or I want to get to know a little bit better. But this week is different. This is not like the normal week. Well, now, that's right, because by popular demand, the listeners of the Fifth Hour podcasts have said, Mallard, nobody wants to hear these interviews

every week. We need more Danny G Radio. Clamoring for more Danny G Radio after he gave that amazing story last week of the the head Tinderoni there jumps up onto the massage table, straddles my girl sits on my girl's rare end, is going to town on her and and was kept slapping her, even slapped her ass. What went wrong at the massage parlor? So, by popular demand, an entire weekend of Danny g with Me on the fifth hour. So Danny, give the people what they want. Danny,

give them what they want here. I guess that's what happens when you tell NC seventeen rated stories. Yeah, here I am Danny. I'm thinking, boy, I I really nailed it on that podcast. You know, it was a great pod and no, it was, Oh my god, I love Dandy. That was the greatest story ever and on all that and I'm like, well, what about me? You know, what about me? And nothing really cares about you. All about Danny j It's all about that X rated. They loved,

they loved that story. Danny was amazed. We're only here because of you. And now my tender rowning asked me if she should make another appointment so that we have more content. She used the word content too. It's good she's in the business now, she's bias Moses. She's learning about all of the craziness that happens in all the

US nonsense. That surprised motherfucker is rather crazy. But anyway, on this edition of the Fifth Hour, we've got uh stories from the last few days and whatnot, more of that, whatever pops I got, I've got Indiana Jones, Weird Science will tell a tale about avocados. We've got song Time and Cutting Room Floriday. This is an amazing amount of content, absolutely free. Nobody had to pay a dollar for that.

What you actually have to have a device to hear it, but you have that anyway, right, So you know what I want to talk about on this Friday morning, Davante Adams. Yeah, Ben, you've been preaching because of your rams about how draft picks don't matter, and I know it's not what we do on this podcast, so I'm sure you'll talk about it on Sunday night. But you did tweet about how Adams to the Raiders bumped March Madness from the front page. It was wonderful. Yeah, And you tweeted how Aaron Rodgers

Brackett was broken. Um, but you forgot to tweet about how the Raiders are now one of the Super Bowl favorites. Calm down, Calm down that baby, all right, So we'll start with this. The other night, it was a normal night at Casa mallor the Mallard mansion. All all stories started out like there was just a normal night and then one thing, let do another and a normal night became abnormal. The abnormal was now normal. So let me explain what happened. So, um, you know, these are these

are first world radio problems. So imagine if you I'm just normally preparing for the show like I I do. I have a routine, I have a cadence. I've been doing this for a long time. Not that I'm great at it, but I kind of have the same routine every day. Certain parts of the day, I do certain things, and I got everything down. I get any set. I changed my schedule a couple of years ago when we started doing the show from the home studio, and so

I have that down now. I'm very comfortable. I I have my routine and so I'm doing my normal thing. You're like a well oiled machine exactly exactly. So I'm I'm ready to do my thing. And on the normal MIDWEKND and so I'm getting ready, I kind of map out the show in my head. I have an idea. I start out with a lot of possibilities, and then, as you know Danny from doing this a long time,

you kind of whittle things down. It's like starting with a block of wood and you kind of wheel stuff away and you're like, all right, what do I want to make this to be? What make it your masterpiece? And so I'm doing that. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to go with, and I started jotting down some chicken scratch for the monologue notes for the monologues, and I I got to the point in the process, trust the process. As they say in Philadelphia,

that weasel Sam Hankey, so the old GM there. So anyway, so I was like, all I'm good. And there's a term we use from time to time. It's called, you know, putting the baby to bed. And that's the point where you've done everything you can do for the show. You've got everything ready, you're prepared. Now you just have to wait for showtime and you he got some time. Possibly you'll kill it's your industry jargon, put the baby to bed.

So I had finished my copious amounts of research, I had everything mapped out, I had a great battle plan, and the sun Zoo The Art of War, and I'm gonna settle in and I like to, you know, before the show, I'd like to settle in, and I'm a loser. I watched some NBA games. I flip around, watch some NBA games whatever, whatever sports are on. It happened to me that night NBA was on there a couple of games, and so I'm watching and then boom, all of a sudden,

Oh no, it's a five alarm fire bell sounding. What is this? What is this? Lights and sirens in our world? Freddie Freeman had agreed to sign a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which meant my mapping of the show well didn't go so well, so I had to had to add live Daddy had to do some improv. And it's one of the great quotes from Indiana Jones with my memorable movies when I was a kid. Remember that scene from Indiana Jones where Indiana somebody asked Indie, uh,

you know, what are you gonna do next? And his reply was, I don't know, I'm making it up as we go along. And that was kind of, you know, just kind of free. So I'm not I was excited. I was happy, I'm a Dodger fan, You're a Dodger fan. So I was happy about all this, but still I was like, I was texting the guys. I was like, couldn't this happen? Like, you know, four o'clock in the afternoon, five o'clock, six o'clock, seven o'clock, didn't have to happen

right before the show. And well, it did have to happen right before the show, and it did happen. And so this happens every once. I'm normally doing the overnight show. There's not much. Things usually shut down when the East Coach shut down. That's mostly when things shut down. So, now, did you get covered up for the first hour of your show by the flamethrower A M five seventy l A Sports? Did they bring Steve Saxon? I used to worry about that stuff, but I have not. I've not

spent too much time. I just do my stay stay in, you're light and uh so I don't worry. Sometimes we've gotten covered up by Clipper postgame talk that's happened occasionally. That the NBA games seem to be ending sooner um, but yeah, we're guaranteed. Like during baseball season, on our flagship in l A and five seventy Dodger station. We are guaranteed there'll be one or two games in San Diego or San Francisco or Colorado, Arizona that will go

until two in the morning. The entire show will be covered up by you know, raining, They'll be raining, not in Arizona, but in San Francisco, Colorado, or or l or San Diego. So that's guaranteed. Happened, But yeah, I don't know. It was. It was interesting, interesting night and hopefully Freddie Freeman works out. Well, it ain't my money, so good luck, and I think for the next couple of years it should be good. After that, you know, that's somebody else's problem right there. We don't need to

worry about. Man. I wanted to go to the MLB All Star Game this year since it's here in l A. What are those tickets gonna look like? Now? Yeah, well, I'm hoping to go to that and not in the media, but my man, Marlin's Man. A couple of years ago, Marlin's Man invited me to the All Star Game at Dodger Staffs sit right behind him at home plate. We had it all planned out and then that freaking COVID thing took place, and then that shut it down. So

I'm hoping. I'm still texting Marlins man from time to time, so we're still a casual friends. He'll send me messages from random college basketball games he's hat or whatever, so I'm hoping we're good. I'm hoping, but I don't think he responded last time. When Derek Jeter left the Marlins, I sent him a text saying you're my pick to be the new new Marlins executive. He didn't respond. I think he might have been upset by that. So I hope.

I hope we're still on good terms. But but I don't know, no idea what you're trying to keep that bottle of milk warm? Yeah, you know, I just check in, just see what's going on from time, But he'll he'll send me like random Martin's Man, I'll send me a random messages from time. No, it's just kind of cool, you know. It's it's nice that he's thinking about me. All right, So weird science. So we go to the

bag of email. Early this week, Danny a little bag of email earlier than normal here, and this one came from Alex in the Netherlands. Alex in the Netherlands. He says, Ben, thanks for the shout out about a month back. He's been listening, Danny, to the nonsense that I have done and you have been part of for a long time, sixteen plus years. He's still listening. He and Alex has a very interesting story. I've talked about him a few times over the years. But he does high level in

his own words, he does high level science research. It's not trigonometry. And he has lived all over Europe and all over the world and he does the scientific research. And he says he loves the crew and the collars. He said, now he I think he was in Germany before he now in the Netherlands. And he said some nice things to me that he said, grew up in southern California and Laguna Beach, so he's an O C guy like I am. And uh, he did offer. And

this is interesting. The reason I brought this up, Danny, you know, weird science and all that. He says, let me know if you ever need a quantum physics expert, keep on entertainings. Alex in the Netherlands. And so it got me thinking, Danny, I mean I did respond to Alex. I did right back to him. I don't know if he's written back or not. Maybe I missed it, but he I said to him and said, hey, you know, I put you on, but you gotta be relatable to

the you know, the meat head sports radioist. You gotta can you dumb it down enough? That's the key. If he could do it, I'd love to have him on. If he could explain. And I'm not that bright either, If you could explain to me and make me understand the kind of stuff that he's involved in, I think that would be pretty interesting. I'd like to learn more about that. But if he's gonna talk a bunch of science mumbo jumbo, I don't know if that's gonna be

uh something we want to be part of. Right, he could help us get Kelly Lebron out of our home computer, then we'd be interested. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he's dealing with like nuclear codes or something like that. I don't know what he's got going on. I have no idea, but he's he's got stuff going on there, and it's it's sounds interesting to me. That's a pretty impressive title.

Quantum physics. My head spins just thinking about my eyeballs go to the back of my head thinking about quantum physics. But that's the world he's in. That's his world, and

and it's outstanding. I love that that guys like that listen and I get emails some people like this every once in a while that are that are fans, and then you know, you you juxtapose that with the people that call the show, and it's fascinating dichotomy between you know, the certain people that there are are the casual listeners, but they don't they don't contribute content usually, and then

the people that call all the time. So it's kind of like when we will watch something where you don't have to have your brain on whatsoever, like a bad reality show or sixty Day marriage or something like that, it makes you feel normal and better about yourself because you're watching all these losers on that TV show. Yeah, for sure, for sure. Now I did get another email that I don't know if I want to get into

this now, maybe we'll stay here for later. But this guy's like he thinks that there was this guy that used to email the show when Gascon was on the podcast, and he named I'm a pilot, and he would tell these stories about he flew to like China during COVID early on, and he had he got put in quarantine on a Chinese hotel and he got taken by people

in space suits and amazing stories. And so there's there's a guy that's been emailing me saying that guy's a fake, that was gascon pretending to be I'm a Pilot, and I was a I don't believe it was because I the guy had emailed me. He hadn't emailed in a long time. I unless, I mean, guess maybe he's diabolical and had a different email coup. But I'm sure I know information about I'm a Pilot. I will try to get ahold of him, just to see what's going on

with him, because he's not emailed the show. But I do not believe that is a As much as I'd love to believe that that that's guests gone pretending to be I'm a Pilot, I do not believe that to be true. Guess guys west of the four or five and all that loves to brag about that stuff, very pompous and all that, but even that's a bridge too far. I don't think you're gonna start a fake email account and pretend to be, you know, a pilot and send photos and it seems a lot. That's a lot of

extra work that you don't need to do. So anyway, So the avocados, the price of avocados, The price of everything's gone up, including avocados. We have a tale of avocados. What is this all about, day, Well, it might surprise you how I get to the avocados. It's more about the drop that we use on the show Racist. Oh cool, of course you're very popular. Oh yeah, you hear the drop right there? Out of context racist drops. Oh yeah, yeah,

like the white cheeto puffs. Yes, yes, exactly. So yeah, that drop will come into play on our show from time to time. So you know, this past week, starting Monday, was the first day in California that masks were optional at all of our schools. Thank god. Oh yeah, we talked about this a little bit last weekend. I go to the kindergarteners at lunchtime and I'm thinking of myself, Man, today, it's gonna be fun because these kids have no filters.

They don't know what I look like. This is like an episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone's like wearing masks. Remember that episode? Maybe not. I'm a I'm a nerd. I used to watch The Twilight Zone as a kid. But they had an episode where like everyone was a merry mask and then they, if I remember it correctly as I remember, they pulled the mask off and then they had like weird faces, were looking faces, and they

didn't look normal. It was a while well yeah, and it was super strange because I swear to god, there were co workers I had never seen their faces before. Yeah, so I'm looking at certain people and I'm like, that's what he looks like, that's what she looks like. It was just so odd. I get out to the campus.

I had my bit already prepared in my mind. I said, Okay, what I'm gonna do with these little kindergarteners is when they start talking to me, I'm gonna play it off like I don't recognize them until I cover up with my hand their mouth in their lower nose area, so you know, oh, now, okay, oh that's good. That's a smart. That's a smart And then all of a sudden, you like Rick Flair yea. So they were loving that bit. They're laughing there talking to me, and I'm like, who

are you. I've never met you before. Oh wait a second, And then I'd stick my hand in front of their mouth and I'm like, oh, it's you, okay, um let her laugh and they get a kick out of that. But they're staring at me. They're like, you you have a beard. You. I thought you were older. I thought you were younger. I thought this. I thought that it was just so funny to hear all of them and all of their commentary based on the fact that they

could finally see our ugly faces. So there's one girl and I've mentioned her on the show before because Aria has no filter. She looks at me and she says, I didn't know you were Spanish. And there's a girl named Phoebe sitting right next to her, and she looks at me with straight face and she says, does that mean you like avocados? Racist? I have no filter, no filter filter, And the only thing I could think of, there's that TV commercial about avocados from Mexico. Oh yeah,

avocados from Mexico. Yes, yes, that's the only thing I could think that she was connecting the dots with because why else would she ask if I liked avocados, that's wonderful. The kids say that that Cosby show. We can't say that because Cosby has been canceled, but rightfully so. But the the kids say that darned is things you're living that life didn't. There's a little boy who was at the same table named Evan, and he caught onto the avocado thing. So all week long he followed me around

asking me about avocados. Avocado Did you just start making stuff up like wild stories about how old are these kids? Like roughly, what do we what do we look at? How what age are there? Seventeen? Yeah, hold on, surprise, surprise, Yeah they're five years old. Okay, yeah, yeah, So that's great and they'll they'll reset, right, I mean usually kids they have that childhood amnesia. What like, what's your earliest memory.

We've talked about this from time to time, but my earliest memory maybe he's around five, but I like vague memories of that. I I know they have said, I've had studies on this where they say, well, kids actually remember everything that just kind of filed in the back of their their brain and stuff, and it's still kind of there, but you don't. It's not in the front of your memory like the front of my memory probably

you know, eight or nine. I remember I have really good memories of everything from that point on in my life. I would say, what about you. Yeah, I have a memory of being at Disneyland. And when I told my mom about it, she was like, you were like maybe two and a half. How do you remember that? Um? But it was because they put me up in that Dumbo ride and she was holding me. My little head sticking out of that Dumbo ride. And I remember at

day clearly. Back then at Disneyland, they had a room that you would go into and there was a whole bunch of different telephones, different characters, Disney characters pictures next to each phone, and you picked up that phone and the character was talking to you on the phone. I thought that ship was real. I'm on the phone. I'm like, man, Mickey Mouse is on this phone. I was all in man, I thought that was real for sure. Um, that's my earliest memory. That's great. I love I My first memory

that I I you know, recall with clarity. I was on the school bus coming home and they had the radio on on the school bus and the driver was really kind of freaked out. And it was the day that Ronald Reagan had been shot. And I remember like running in to tell my mom, like, hey, the president was shot like that, and I didn't really know what that meant, but I just knew that the bus driver was freaking out and there was like emergency programming on

the radio. And I still have very clear like memories of getting on the school bus hearing on the way home the you know, the radio reports and all that the guy in the radio and the you know, the people on their yapping about that, and then the bus driver, you know, turning up the sound to here here with the guy in the radio is saying about that, which maybe in some weird way to help me lead lead to my career. But I do remember that, I do

recall that you were breaking news even back then. Yes, yes, Penny, the news breaker and unless I wasn't, but those days, you really that's way you got the news was from the radio. Like there was no internet like ye to wait for the newspaper the next day, or you would get it on radio or television. That was it old media. But yeah, word of mouth or as Ludicrous would say, word of mouth. We had the AP wire when we

were kids in radio. Yes, yes, I love it. But that was like the coolest thing when I started in San Diego at the Extra Sports was the the high speed sports wires Hackstock called it, and they had had the sports ticker on one side in the newsroom and the AP news wire, and they wasted so much paper because they'd print, you know, the sports sticker would print everything up and it was a nightmare. It would NonStop, just keep printing and printing and printing and printing and printing.

But that was the news. Yeah, it was the interns job to keep putting new boxes of paper there and connecting it to the printer. Then us like I was a rookie, so it was my opportunity to kind of be a producer. I would rip the pages apart and then with a highlighter, I would highlight anything that was good for our format, and then you had to bring that into the on air personalities. Yeah. So my job at six ninety when I was working for Haxall when I first started there, he this is this is pathet.

It was like the Ghoul Report. And I remember because there'd be race car drivers open wheel race car drivers from Europe. There was a guy forgetting the name, but I remember the story. He had gotten into a terrible accident and it looked like he was going to die, and so hacks All he made me monitor this on the on the wire because he wanted me to run in with the bulletin if he had he had died, because he wanted to break the story on the show

and all that stuff. So I remember getting you know, you know, a P bulletin one, a P bulletin update to you know, that kind of stuff they would send out back back in the day. But yeah, that was the Internet. I was like, that was the beginning stages for our purposes. But it's kind a little better since then, just a little bit. We evolved into the NFL book them, Yeah, which we have not done. We still need to do that on the Overnight show. It will do it. Uh

this this coming. I'm a two time champion, back to back. Well, I I won my share. I've won my share of the NFL Book. I had twenty fifteen Steen title holder. There you go, congratulations, congratulations. Uh So I wanted to bring a little music, all right, yeah into the podcast. You know, Casey Cayson. We both worked there when Casey worked at the building there. Casey, the legendary Premier Networks host, passed away a couple of years ago. But keep your

feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Yeah, damn dead dog, sick and tired coming in here. I got an upbeat song and we're doing we're doing a dedication and you know that's that's when we should highlight that one of these weeks that is outstanding. So I bring this up, Ohio al who makes our male jingle? That's not a weird are our postal jingle? I don't know. I'm not some kind of nut liquor here? Uh male jingle? Uh?

He does. But anyway, so Ohio was a talented musician and he sent me a little did he sent us a while ago, and bad job by me. You know, it took me a while to get it on the radio show, and I wanted to highlight it here on the podcast for everyone to enjoy the artistical work of Ohio. So let me set this up. It's obviously a parody song of Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. It's called Comfortably Ben And are you ready Danny for a little little ditty here from our buddy Ohio. Aw I am ready

all right, here we go. Let's strike up the band. Welcome in my name. You can somewhere off the grid in the northward. This is the show that puts you to sleep. Everyone, he'd be here every you wear your men, They got the kid, get out here, little who gets you under boone d like glow was dawn. I want a steamer and fan me. Take you call. I'm actually going to live here. Take Sandy calls it any me lighting boll Lord, give me the loan me sufferine brick.

It's the hard one. Take your father. I'm back at an on box burd straw to show under lappy child. I really to light for the jumps. I'm called every Rocketory Nick the mag he gets side. I need protectional gas back what I dilition t d T the palace show. So I am known as to be bearing the father down a ladder, the General of the General who was master of the popular of disaster, the hustle the problem

for up to a buster. Publer of production. Benny writes like manity, ving sanity, Mark Purty mat Emson, loving bellishment of the lovely Week, like wing Bag and Slayer of Yss Google get the Tower of Bravel and then ah there it is great job, wonderful job there for our buddy Ohio Owl. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll spend a lot of time on that. I like it. A drop, a p loser there. That was highlighting many of the drops, many of the favorite drops on the show.

So we have a little time left. Pivot away from Ohio Owl's song. And we mentioned the cutting room floor, So I thought, since normally on Friday we bring somebody in here and ask a bunch of questions and shoot the crap and all that stuff. But the cutting room floor so stuff we planned to get to during the radio show. However, we ran out of time, and so think of this as a trip to the refrigerator for

leftover spaghetti or something like that. And so just a few stories that we would have brought up Danny on the overnight show, but because of timing reasons, we didn't get to. Uh, And we'll start with this the expensive cardboard story. Did you see Nan that Drake spent over two hundred thousand dollars on basketball cards trying to pull a very rare card out. I did see this. Yeah, Now, I know Drake's got a lot of money. But these these boxes, this NBA Panini, uh, these these I'm not

I'm not into the cards right now. I've gotten out of the business. I mean, I still have a bunch I gotta go through. But the the NBA Panini flawless sports cards. Each box sells for like fifteen thousand dollars, jeez, and contains ten cards. Ten cards. The math on that is not it could be great. Um So anyway, he spent over two hundred thousand dollars and for unopened NBA cards, and he was going through them and trying to find trying to find gold. The problem I had with this, Dan,

is you already have gold. You're Drake, You're rich. Isn't this something that somebody who's kind of looking to win the lottery would do? You know what I mean? This is just a rich person who's bored. Right, you start lighting bills on fire, you like baseball, basketball and football cards on fire. I remember when my older brother would get like a San Francisco Giants player and a pack

of baseball cards. He would light it on fire. I'm not kidding you, Piro, and my mom caught him doing it one time, and she's like, I swear to God, if you burn the neighborhood down because you don't like the San Francisco Giants, you are gonna grounded for a week. Uh So, now you're gonna have to burn the Jack Peterson card. I saw Jock sign with the Giants this week. Douchebag Pearl wearing burnt orange. He's an enemy combatant and he's got the Jack Pearson's got the reputation of being

a good playoff player. He was a bunch of homers with the Dodgers. He was terrible for the Braves in the World Series about this past year. They won, but as I remember, he was lousy in the place. He's from northern California, though he's a North count guy, so he's going back home. But good luck to Drake with

those basketball cards. I guess last year Zion Williamson. One of those cards sold for two hundred thirty three thousand dollars last The card business, though I have complained about this in the past, it's such a racket that the company you would like to work for are the grading people. They're the ones that make all the money. Guaranteed to make their money. The people that grade the cards. He's a waiting line for those guys. Yeah, that's one of

the problems. I got a whole bunch of cards that I would some of them might need to get graded to sell. I'm like, I don't even want to. You gotta spend money to do it. It's big pain in the ass, big pain in It took us all right, We've got limited time here, limited time. You want dumb money? Lots of camels? Which one picked your poison? Your dad? Oh, we have a famous drop we used to play on the live show of you saying I want a camel. That's right, that's right. And uh, this is a great

camel story. It comes from Tracy McGrady better known as t MAC back in the day, and he he recently shared a story that I had not heard, but maybe you've heard of it, but I had not heard of it. And so he said years ago, back in his salad days, uh, that he went to cut her on a trip the NBA had sent to him and Carmelo, Anthony Clay Thompson

and Luke Walton. So they took a trip over there to promote the World Cup and so they were all there and while they were in Cutter, McGrady says he was asked whether they wanted to do some camel racing. M hm. And so here's Tracy McGrady at the time, big NBA you know, legend, Mellow, Clay Thompson, Luke Walton, all these guys and yeah, exactly. And so McGrady told the stories. He says, hey, we'll go see the camel race, and and they were They asked the NBA guys, do

you want to participate? Team Mack told the stories, what do you mean by that? So anyway, they go down to the track, as t Mac tells the story, and they are on the runway and the camels are over on the side, and then all these NBA guys are given remote controls by one of the people from the track. They're in Cutter, and they're like hey, uh, and the

guys are like, what are these remotes? And so apparently what they do in that part of the world they have he said, a little They got a little man on the camel, according to Team Mac, with a whip, and so they they hand a remote control to these dudes and then based on how you use the remote control you the little dude on the camel, which I assume as robotic, right, I would think right, and I yeah.

And then based on how many times you hit the remote, the camel gets whipped and that's how they race the the camel. Well, he got whipped a lot in his career. He did at the end. Yeah, that's fore he probably knew how to use that. I was in an elevator with Team Mac he was playing for the Rockets. I'll never forget it. It was, you know, he didn't he had been a big star with their Lando and he went to the Rocket. He just still well known because

a little penny things and all that. But in the elevator at then Staples Center, he was complaining because he had to meet like some do some sponsorship thing and he was I don't want to do he was complaining. It was so funny and uh, like you probably I'm staying in my head, I'm thinking, you're probably gonna get paid more in for this like ten fifteen minutes sponsor thing you gotta do. Then I want to be making for like two years. But he really was having a

bad day. He did not want to do the sponsor gig. Get at all. So they do you think camel racing will be there? For I know they've gotten rid of dog racing in most of America, but that in the Middle East, camel racing. I'm sure there's dog racing a lot of places around around the world. I know we used to have found very humane. No, no, but the rest of the world is not woke or any of

that stuff. There they don't care about that. Uh well, I say the rest of the the the non western world, they're more into there, you know, having a good time and all. Did he say how much he used the remote? Oh yeah, yeah, he said, he he went, you know, he's a fool. He said he kept hitting the remote, tearing the camel's ass up. But he did say a team back that he won the race. So his camel won the race. But then, of course I probably had to be put down or something like that. Anyway, all right,

that's it on that note. What a way to end what you know, there's one other thing. I did want to bring one other thing up, which never goes well for me. I didn't want your last sentence to be tear that camel's out. I remember the camel cake. That was awesome. That camel that was It was awesome from the cake benefactor years and years ago. But Buck Ball, I love this quote, Buck show Walter, manager of the Mets. We're gonna get to this. We didn't get to it

on the show. So Buck show Walter was asked by one of the Met Beat writers, are you gonna put up those motivational quotes, encouragement posts and all that stuff in the you know, in the in the the Mets clubhouse. Now were you at Fox Sports Radio and the Andrew Ashwood or at Danny were you there when he was around? Just after word? Okay, just after so Andrew was our boss. He was a big believer, great man, big burly man. Andrew Ashwood loved him, very nice man. Radio pro d

J went into management. You always loved the management guys that used to be on the air because they get you. They understand that. I heard he actually gave raises. Yes, I didn't get one, but other people did. They got big extensions. And Andrew had been very sick and he was very generous. He kind of knew the end was near and on his way out he took care of some people. Give him a big, big raises and it was wonderful. What a wonderful gesture by by Andrew Ashwood.

But so Andrew, he used to put up quotes from Lombardi and all these different people. He loved the Packers, so he put a lot of quotes of Lombardi up around Fox Sports Radio. And so that was his thing. And I I thought of him because of Buck show author who said he does not like the random famous quotes of encouragement posted around. You know, encourage are the employees and all that, And I gotta kick out of it because it was such a perfect quote for New York.

Buck show All to the new manager of the Mets says, if it was up to him, he would have only one sign in the Mets locker room and it would have two words on it. What do you think that sign would say, Danny? What do you think, oh man for the Mets, for the Mets, the New York Metropolitans don't suck. Well, Actually that is that's a reference to Joe matt Remember Joe Madden. Oh No, we shock again.

He put that up in the in the Cubs clubhouse back in the day, right, Buck Showalter said he would put up in the clubhouse there he said he would put up a sign that said play better. Joe Maddens was trying not to suck. That was the why not just like which is a version of my favorite quote of all time, John Tortorello, the hockey coach, after the Rangers lost the game and somebody asked and why why did you lose the game or something like that, and he said, we sucked at a time you cannot suck.

That is the perfect quote, and he's like, Tortorella was awesome. We sucked from head to toe. It was so good, so wonderful, so so great. Anyway, all right, have a wonderful rest of your Friday.
