(00:25):
and as you know, what we like to do is
interject some high jinks that I use on my Saturday
night show because see we kind of pay attention here
and in this great country of ours, from seed to
Oily Sea. Every day people do things, and they do
things that cause you to sometimes scratch your head. Now,
sometimes these events are very innocuous. They're just silly, and
(00:46):
you know, no one loses an eye or anything like that.
But other than that, there are many times where these
activities become far more serious, far more dangerous. Oftentimes they
run to follow the law. They can land you in
jail or worse. But any way you slice it, any
way you characterize it, anyway you describe it, these activities
(01:08):
that people engage in twenty four to seven three sixty
five were across the country and around the world. They
always leave you scratching your head and asking yourself, what
kind of brand new fool are you? You can still
hit the button, Lorena, What kind of brand new fool
are you? Lorena will find it. Anytime we find these
(01:33):
people that do these crazy things, no matter how innocuous
or how crazy, they leave us asking ourselves, what kind
of brand new fool are you?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What kind of brand new fool are you?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Not gonna lie? They actually broke this one out recently,
but it got so much attention, no joke, people ask
me to do it again. And gentlemen, girls and boys,
mom and dad, at and uncle, grandpa. A man from Arkansas,
we take you to Baxter County, Arkansas, and we introduce
(02:12):
you to fifty five year old Theodore Morgovan. He's in
little bit of trouble. Okay. You see a police officer,
a Baxter County deputy, was making the rounds one night,
get all around this commercial storage facility near midtown, and
all of a sudden, out of the corner of his eye,
(02:32):
this deputy had happened to notice that there is a
car in the parking lot around one in the morning,
and it was rocking back and forth. Oh so the officer,
doing his duty to protect and serve, decided he go
(02:53):
up and take a little bit of a closer look. Well,
as he peaked in the car, he saw a fifty
five year old mister Mortgavan getting busy being sexual wait
for it, with a stuffed annimal. Can't make this stuff up, folks,
(03:14):
He's in the report. Well, mister Morgavan was charged with
two constant possession of a controlled substance, public sexual indecency,
possession of drug paraphernilia, and bringing drug paraphernalia into a
government facility, all while getting busy with give me a
little something something here all arena getting busy with a
(03:37):
stuffed annibal. Okay, well no, no, I was begging for
like a rim shot or never mind, let's move on.
After going to jail, investigators continued to search mister mister
Morgarvan's personal effects and guess what the icing on the cake?
They found three grams of meth. Theodore Morgarvan getting busy
(04:01):
with a stuffed animal. Charged with possession of a control substance,
public sexual indecency, possession of drug parapherilia and bringing drug
paraphernilia into a government facility. Well, he was arrested and
they continue to search his car. The story is on going.
You think mister Morgarman's in trouble. But it raises the
question once again, mister Morgarvan, Theodore Mortgarvan, fifty five years old,
(04:24):
Baxter County, Arkansas, what kind of brand new fool are you? Oh?
I gotta lie down, I gotta lie down after that one.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
But that Nick car shaking, If it was just a
stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, he was getting busy, he was getting busy. This
is in the officers report. Well, you can use your imagination.
You can use your imagination, which I hate to do
in this particular case. You're a smart guy, Coop, You're
a smart guy.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's why we call it brand new fool.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
So it had to have been a large stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Then maybe maybe wimbe, we'll have you know, we we'll
look into that. Maybe he'd had too many of those
hot wings and he was losing his mind all right.
That fortunately allows us now to segue into our second
favorite bit that we lovingly refer to as what my
name and of course, our crew here is a veteran
(05:19):
at this game. They actually do quite well at it.
All right, we begin. You know, there was talk last
week about Lebron being the head coach of the Lakers.
Well he can't because of the new CBA. What's not
new anymore. It's been around thirty years, for crying out aloud.
Because of the CBA and the salary cap issues, a
player can no longer be a coach. So, in fact,
(05:42):
I was the last player coach in the NBA, Eddie Garcia,
What my name?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Well, the only one I know is Bill Russell, so
I'll go with Bill Russell.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, you've got the right organization. But he wasn't the
last one. But that's an excellent guess. You're on the
right track. I'm actually the last player coach in the NBA.
Coop what my name?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
My guess was also going to be Bill Russell. Uh,
but you said the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
How about Casey Jones.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Casey Joes actually was the head coach in the eighties,
but I think he was long done playing by then.
Good guesses not that Lebron can't coach in the NBA
because of the rules, but I was the last player
coach in the NBA to be able to do this.
Loreena Peterson, what my.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Name, Larry Bird?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know what you're in there? It was right before
Larry Bird's time, gentlemen by the name of Dave Cowens,
big stud Dave Collins roaming the sidelines and I remember
did he roam.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
The sidelines in his uniform?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He did?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I guess. I guess that that's was his supid question
to ask, is going to be in a suit and
then like rip it off or that'd be his shorts
underneath you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Can do super Well, Well, here's the thing. Yet, it's
it's a fair question because he didn't play every night.
He was a player coach. It's not like he started
he put himself on the starting lineup, but he did
appear in games. And if you google pictures of Dave Cown,
he's a big, physical, strapping dude man. And so you're
you're not really wrong, Eddie. I mean there were nights
(07:19):
he had a suit on aume.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I assume Pete Rose was the last man to do
it at any of the major sports.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well he was. He was a player, Yeah, he was
a player manager, I believe up till nineteen eighty five.
I don't think it's been done since. I don't think so,
really really really not practical. Could you do it in
hockey eighty could you do that?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I don't think so. I don't think I think baseball
is the one where you could do it, because Pete
was kind of at the end, right, he was just
kind of a pinch hitter.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh yeah, by that point, By that point Pete was
Pete was forty four years old, and he didn't he
he wasn't doing a whole hell of a lot, but
he was on the active roster and as a manager.
Good stuff. Actually, Dave Collins, all right, staying with baseball.
You know, people get thrown out of games every now
and then, but in the street of Major League Baseball,
I've been objected. I've been ejected by more times than
(08:04):
any other human being in the history of Major League Baseball.
Eddie Garcia what my name?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
My knee jerk reaction was to go with Billy Martin.
But I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna go with
Earl Weaver.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
See that's an excellent, excellent guest, but it's actually not
Earl Weaver and Billy Martin has been good too. We
wea we just brought up to an art form, all right.
In the history of Major League Baseball, I've been ejected
by more in more games than any other human being
in the history of Major League Baseball. That's the Department
of Redundancy. Department Coop.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What my name, lou Panella.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Oh, that's another good one. Lou got the real red ass,
not lou Panella, the history of Major League Baseball I've
been ejected by. I've been ejected more times than anybody
else in major league history. I'll give you guys a
clue and you can help her. But Lorena might get it.
Who knows, longtime manager of the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I know it is now.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I only have so many names on my list of
people that I could pull from.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
But what about Bobby Cox.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'll be tipping poop en rolled in bread Crumb's Lorena
got it?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, Google?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Is it serial? I gotta tell a story, as you'll know.
As you'll notice, I don't. I don't give any rules.
When I first started this game two years ago, we
had a particular producer no longer with Fox, and every
time I called on him, thirty never missed an answer,
and the other guys were riding him like a red
and mule. You're googling, you're Googling's well, you know, I
haven't made up any rules. If you really want to
(09:34):
google that, you can do it. Kind of kills his fit.
It's all, it's all good.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
It's a Ben Maller move.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I love Ben. All right.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Wow, wow, you know, I just feel like I should
give be given more credit the fact that I was
able to google it so accurately. I'm giving it the answer,
write Coop.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
That means my fingers were accurate.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Okay, well let.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Me tell you what you really get credit for, Lorena.
The acting chops did not go unnoticed. You were like, oh,
would it be Bobby Cox? See, I mean, just, you know,
really an Academy Award type performance there.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I've been learning from Coop.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Okay, well you've been you've been teaching you. Well, all right,
on the flip side of the coin, we're gonna go
deep into the cookie jar here. I played the most
Major League games in history, three twenty six without ever
being ejected once. Eddie Garcia what my name.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You said, played the most?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, he played the most games three twenty six. He
you know, that's the most games I ever played with
ever being ejected, not even one time.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I'll go Ken griff.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's an excellent one. Not Ken Griffy Jr.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We'll just go ahead, Lorna.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Go Alex Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Not Alex Rodriguez. He's been ejected. Now we're going deep
into the cookie jar. This is an old timey one,
but it's a Hall of Famer Coop. I played more
games than anybody else in Major league history threeenty twenty six,
ever being ejected. What my name?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
We're talking old old timer?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I think so, not Babe rute type, but you know,
a couple of decades after that, let's go.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I don't know, I have no I him Mickey Mantle.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Mickey Mantle. I applaud the effort. It's always good to
get out a name you never know. Stan Usual stand
the man usual? YEP. I guarantee you Eddie's gonna get
this one, all right. We talked a little bit about
fighting in the National Hockey League. Well, in the history
of the NHL, I have had more fights than anybody
(11:44):
that ever played the game, total of three hundred and
thirty three. Eddie RCA, what my name? Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wow, is it Dave Tiger Williams.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh that's such a good one, yo, Vancouver Canuck. I
met him once. Nicest guy in the world, crazy fou mouth,
but a nice guy. Not him. The history of the NHL,
I've had more fights than anybody. Three hundred and thirty three.
Coop what my name?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I don't know anything about hockey. I can't even give
you a guess.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Bobby Orr, Well, you.
Speaker 1 (12:16):

Not Bobby Orr What do I think Lorraine is going
to get this? In the history of the NHL, I've
had more fights than anybody total, three hundred and thirty three.
Loreena Peterson, what my name?
Speaker 7 (12:30):
I'm gonna go with the handsome Adam Henriq.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That was so random.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Look at you? Come on, you know, help yourself to
some cookies. It's not the correct answer. This guy had
lightning quick fists, I mean, and even when into Eddie.
This will be a clue. He went into the stands
once to Pamela Fan who hit him on the head
of the shoe.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You remember that, I mean, I remember the Boston Bruins
doing that Mike Milbury was involved with that.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Uh, this might have been a separate incident. Anyway, Let's
let's move along. It's actually ty DOMI.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ty Dome his kids playing now.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, yep, he's been in a few brawls as well.
Let's stay with hockey. As a head coach, I hold
the all time record for most wins in game seven
in the playoffs, I'm now eight and oh Eddie Garcia,
what my name? Pete de boor the bar maam just
happened the other day and he knocked off the Golden Knights.
Moving right along as we are now in the NBA playoffs.
(13:31):
Believe it or not, After all these years, after all
these years, I still hold the record for the most
points in a single NBA playoff game. I once scored
sixty three? Coop? What my name?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Can you repeat the question?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Sure? After all these years, I still hold the all
time playoff NBA record for most points of a single
game with sixty three. Coop? What my name?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You did this? You did this one last week?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Did I do that with you guys last week?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
It's Michael Jordan, you got it, my friend.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Nicely done, nicely he done.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
You know, what's about as I still would have gotten
it wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Don't don't show, don't sell yourself shortly, you might have
gotten it right right. Well, never know because it was
never officially asked. All right, you're gonna get this one right.
I just turned ninety three years young last week and
legendary manager Leo Dero Derocher called me the greatest center
fielder of all time.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Centerfield is football, right, absolutely strong safety?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yep, you got where where where?
Speaker 8 (14:31):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Weird? Oh whatever sport you.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Wanted to be, let's go with.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Oh lordie, uh the older guy, right, you said.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
The older yea, yeah, you're you're getting close, you're getting warm. Yep.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I don't want to guess Babe Ruth again because I've
already guessed.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Well, he didn't turn ninety three last week. That would
have been Yeah, that.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Was sev.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Ruth died in eight forty eight, like he actually died
at age fifty three, about sixty years ago. Do you
have a name for us? No? I pause, Eddie Garcia.
You're gonna get this one.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh yeah, And I have to admit when I saw
that it was his birthday, I was like, I was
a little embarrassed. He was dead and I didn't know
he was still alive. It's Will May.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is absolutely Willy Mays if I were cooking now
more NBA stuff. In spite of all my NBA championships,
believe it or not, believe it or not, I never
made a game winning shot in a playoff game in
the final minute of the game, Eddie Garcia, what my
name he's still playing?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh, okay, Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Then not Lebron. Yeah, that's a good one. I think
he had actually has maybe done one, but not Lebron James.
And I got to give, by the way, Jason Smith
credit for this. He came up with this a couple
of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Now it isn't Lebron though. Not that great at the
game winning shots though.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You're you're right, right, But I think in twenty one
years he probably made one in all of his playoff
games in the final minute. But uh, this this individual
has that distinction. Uh. And Rob Parker I think thinks
he's overrated.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
But well that would be Lebron James too.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, yeah, fair enough, you were Okay, it's actually not
him though. But in spite of all my MVPs NBA
championships for them, never made a game winning shot in
the playoffs. In the final minute of the game, Coop,
what my.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Name MVP S Sports Championships?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yep, he's won an yet all that, hey, sports is
weird man. Bob Yuker wants to go home run off
Sandy Kofax. So you never know what you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Get, is it, Giannis?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's not honest, it's actually oh, I'm sorry, I'm insteaded Larina.
You want, you're gonna get this one. I was gonna
guess Steph Curry's.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Exactly what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Say stuff Curry, say stuph Curry, job a joa. Al right,
if you are a betting fan here in Las Vegas,
we got two more of these. Okay. As a head
coach in the NBA, I have now lost five NBA
playoff games outright, even though my team was a double
digit favorite. Eddie Garcia, what my name?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Doc Rivers?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Lots of beauty, Not Doc Rivers, but boy, you'd think
he'd be one of mah. He's the master. When you're
up three games to one, right, you know what happens?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Then? Right?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Prepare, get your affairs in order? All right? In the
history of the NBA. I have lost five NBA playoff
games outright, even though my team is a double digit favorite. Coop,
what's my name? What my name was?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I was gonna guess Doc Rivers too, Not Doc Rivers.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'll give you a clue. He's still coaching in the
playoffs right now.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's a pretty good clue, is it.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
The fifth one was just last week. It's okay, we're
moving on. It's all good, all right, Lorena clutch, no pressure.
And I've lost five NBA playoff games outright as a
double digit favorite. What my name is it?
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Rudy Gobert?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Just because the names of me? Was he in that
movie Rudy? Rudy Gobert? Was he in that movie? Rudy? Okay,
never mind, I haven't seen it. It's actually Joel Missoula,
Boston Celtics. All right, Eddie, I gotta go to I
gotta do you have to go third on this one,
(18:49):
because I know you get this one in your sleep.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I recently made my Major League Baseball pitching debut for
the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I hit one hundred miles on
the radar gone seventeen times. Coop, what my name?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh, I've just been seeing a lot about this guy.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
But I I've checked out of baseball because the Angels
are crap organizations.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
So I can't it. It's like scheme or something like that, writers.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Eddie, Should the judges allow that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Absolutely? Lsu from Lsu it lit it up in the
Aworld series last year, and I watched him and he
looked really good. I had real command. And you know,
my fear, Eddie's for the good folks of Pittsburgh is
schemes will light it up in the next three four years.
Become a free agent, I'll end up in New York.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Or something that's never happened before.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No, never, No, yeah, exactly exactly. That's that's that's what
they say in Boston. They call that a wicked pissa.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I got Garrett Cole in New York. You've got Tyler
Glass now in La. Those are all pirate draft picks.
By the way, I know there's more of them too
out there.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
By the way, if you've been to P and C Park.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I've been to it. I have not seen an actual
gal beautiful.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Aw it's beautiful. I covered the Tigers for many years,
same architectural firm that built Chimerica Park, but they did
a better job. They took it and shrunk it down.
It's much more intimate. It's really really nice, a nice stadium,
and of course I even think they serve Primani Brothers
in this stadium. That will conclude outstanding job by all.
(20:25):
Appreciate the participation, appreciate the enthusiasm. We still got to
get to the number one foible when it comes to
grocery store mistakes, and I think we're all going to
agree about this one. We might have to. I think
we'll probably save that for Eddies after Eddie's updated the
(20:45):
bottom of the art. But I do want to get

(23:59):
Charlie Burns became the last player coach in the NHL.
It actually happened. Apparently it happened after their head coach
Ren Blair was fired and in the mid season and
he took over as player coach. I'm Eddie. I never
would have guessed Charlie Burns, Minnesota north Stars.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I learned something today.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We've got to wrap this up and bring it home.
It started instantly recently as leaving your shopping cart in
the parking lot and not returning it to the grocery store.
It's morphed into numerous rude things that grocery store employees
and fellow shoppers alike. Take umber jet that we've all
been guilty of, or maybe not all of us, but
I've been eating potato chips in the ale, eating food
(24:43):
you haven't paid for yet. Yeah, you're gonna pay for it.
All that, I get it right, But that kind of
stuff where you're in line and you forgot an item
and you go back and get it what everybody else
waits in line. We've been through all those bringing your
dog to the store. Not good, coming in five minutes
before the store closes, and shopping and so you know,
not putting an item back when you were in the
aisle and you decided not to put it back. And
(25:05):
we've got some interesting calls from people, and I learned
a few things tonight. But the number one and it's
not even close. And I bet someone will wait in
this on a call at eight seven, seven, nine and
a half fox and we're gonna bring in the crew
this one. We can all agree. Yelling at employees, particularly,
here's what happens. Most Apparently you're looking for an item
(25:26):
and the clerk attempts to help you, and it turns
out that item is simply out of stock, take your
right where it is. They believe it's there, but turns
out they're just simply out of stock, and the customer
starts yelling at the employee because the item is out
of stock. Lorena, I've got to start with you on
(25:48):
this one. You got the floor.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
I think that would be absolutely ridiculous. Bernie.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Maybe at the holiday time when you're really on edge
and like maybe your grandma only wants that one specific
ham and you have a freak out accident. But like
when you, I don't know when people react like that,
it's just it looks so bad.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It embarrasses everybody around you.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Yeah, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
So since I did the show Thursday night with Ben
true story, I met im at the grocery store Sunday,
I don't check that Saturday morning, and the clerk behind
the register was very friendly, and the gentleman in front
of me, I'm not going to describe him. He was
(26:34):
an old fart pain in the ash looking guy. And
the clerk makes a suggestion, an innocuous suggestion, and the
and the and the and the patron in front of
me says, I don't take tips. I don't take tips.
On the golf course. I don't take tips at the gym,
and I don't take tips when I'm driving. Uh, you
know you you rolled your boat. I'll row mine. I
(26:56):
don't need your tip. True story. I'm behind the guy
and I'm thinking of my so goodness, dude, just what
the hell is your major malfunction? Son? Who looked the
red off your lollipop this morning? And he wasn't really yelling,
but he was borderline yelling, And the clerk says something
friendly back like, oh, well, you know, I'll row your
boat and my boat. No, no, no, I'll roll my
own boat. You row your own boat. He's yelling at
(27:18):
now had nothing to do with something being in stock.
That kind of rudeness made everybody around them uncomfortable, and
you have to ask yourself, do I do I you know,
do I step in with you know in this day
and age guy pulls out a glock nine and says, oh,
here you go, buddy, coo night right. Yeah, you know
that can cross your mind, But I didn't mean to
(27:40):
go down that road yelling at employees when something is
out of stock? Eddie, have you ever seen that or
been around that?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
You know, thoughts, I don't recall ever seeing that. I'm
trying to think of anytime I've uh seen, so I'm
sure it's happened, but it's not something that I've seen
very often. And I do all the shopping in the
in my household, so but no, I sure I haven't
seen that very much. The last thing I saw that
(28:09):
was interesting, I guess was some guys basically walked into
the grocery store, grabbed some beer, and then just walked
right out, like calmly, just walked out. And the people
who worked there saw it the whole way, and they
were like telling them, hey, hey, hey, you didn't pay
for that. You didn't pay for that, and then they
just walked right on out. And the manager was like,
(28:30):
just let him go. It's so we're like, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
That's the society we're in now. Yeah, And it's my understanding.
You've read it. You've read accounts in the paper or
heard them on the news where an employee starts to
accost somebody, the employees of getting fired or.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Hurt or seriously injured.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
So when I see employees try to fight back robbers
or stuff, especially with a lot of the.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Group, thieveries that we've had here in Los Angeles lately.
I'm like, don't even try, don't.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Don't.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
They can make insurance claims, don't. I love, it is
your life.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Take them down.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
You're not gonna win.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Some of them win.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I've seen, I've seen videos.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So Coop, if you so back to the yelling at customers,
which we know we're in an amped up, pissed off
on edge society. You look around and in any given minute,
probably two percent of the people are ready to go off.
And you know what, they don't wear badges, so you
don't know. And it's again, it's back to the misplaced anger,
(29:30):
So Coop, have you ever been, like, you know, in
a store when you're in line and someone's yelling at
the customer, yell or not yelling at the customer, excuse me,
yelling at the grocery the grocery store employee maybe something
was out of stock, whatever, and it's like it's their
fault that's out of stock. Your thoughts on that whole deal.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I've never seen that, really, Yeah, And I don't see
any reason that anybody should ever yell at an employee
anywhere unless that employee was being rude.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I was I was at the grocery store recently and
there was a mentally disturbed man who was yelling at everyone,
and the manager went out and he was in the
parking lot, and the manager went out and was filming
him in case he, you know, did anything, and he
started yelling at her, and I went over and stood
(30:19):
next to her just to kind of be like, hey,
you know, I'm I'm kind of here in case you
do something, and I'm not going to let you just,
you know, go after this woman. And sure, he said
all kinds of stuff, and like I said, he was
obviously was mentally disturbed, but just kind of was ranting
and raving in the parking lot and then when I
went about his business.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
But yeah, look, you know there's an old saying. Class
never goes out of style. Respect never goes out of style.
And I know people, most people attempt to be civil
in this world, and I know that's the case. Otherwise,
if it wasn't the case, you'd go to an NFL
game on Sundays where there's seventy two thousand people and
if ninety nine point nine percent of the people were
(30:59):
in civil be pandemonium, you never have enough security to
stop it. If something really broke out. Right, So the
vast majority of people are civil. But again, someone can
have a bad day, they can say something they normally
don't mean to say. Irrespective of it, you don't stop
and think about these things. I said, Like I said,
it all kind of started innocuously when someone tweeted at
(31:21):
me Thursday about bring up the grocery cart deal. I said,
we did, And obviously that led to the discussion, which
is sort of interesting because now we've come full circle.
It's gentlemen donkey sauce and says, hey, you guys got
to go to an Aldi's because they got Eddie. I'll
let you tell the story. They're actually announced they're building
an Aldi's here in Las Vegas, which is I think
some kind of European grocery store. Tell the folks for
(31:43):
that conversation went about the cart issue.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Oh well, I apologize when I remember who it was.
But the person on X said that to use the
shopping cart you have to deposit a quarter.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I think it's a donkey sausage. I think said that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Okay, yeah, even a deposit of quarter to use the
and then I guess you get it back at when
you return it or whatever. I'm like, yeah, I'm not
going through all that. I'm not I'm not jumping through
those whoes. Plus, I don't ever carry any any money
on me. I just use pay with my card much
less ever have any change. I might have like a
twenty maybe occasionally, but that's yeah, that's if my h
(32:19):
If there was a store like that, I would just
avoid it.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I guess it begs the question is is putting a
quarter deposit indemnify you or is that sort of like
prevent people from not returning the car? Would that be
enough of an incentive? I'm just kind of confused on
this one. You know again, I'm not that smart. I'm
no high school drop out. I went the full six years.
But it's like, all right, I parked three blocks away here,
I am oh wait, I got to bring this carpack
(32:44):
so get my quarterback. Is that would that be enough
of an incentive?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Well, it would be enough of incentive for me to
not shop there, so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
There you have it, folks. Uh, by the way, I
don't they have aldi in California? Did they have it to? Okay,
so fill the same coop? What is special about Aldi.
I understand they're unique.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I don't know. I've been there one time.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Anything stand out.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
It's like not your typical brands. I guess I don't know.
I don't know what the whole thing is.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I think they let their cashiers sit.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I well, I mean that's what I noticed when I
went shopping there. I've also only been there.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
You've been there.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Okay, there's one in the corner by my house. And yes,
the quarter thing is very true. You have to And
I didn't even use a car because I'm like, I
don't have a quarter.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Did they let you bring your dog?
Speaker 6 (33:44):
No, I don't have a dog.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I'm just asking him, like an in general generality.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
You know what, Honestly, they don't look like dog people
to me.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Do they have grapes there?
Speaker 6 (33:53):
I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
How are the grapes at Aldi versus like the grapes
at Van's right.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
We'll have to test this. Because I am a great person.
I love grapes. They're very juicy.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
I like a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I understand if you stomp them out with your feet
they turn into wine. Is that true? I read that
in a book I love, one that includes our collective
whining about grocery store foibles, and that's what we do.
We try to engage in in depth conversations so that
hopefully the world can be a better place. Have we
(34:25):
covered them all, by the way, folks, We covered all
the egregious the agrievances that that people are involved in,
and the grocery stores did the things they do. And
I didn't even get to some of the other ones,
like cutting in line. That's stupid. I mean, obviously you
no one's gonna like that. One of the other ones
I didn't bring up was people complaining about other folks
who don't have a quote leash on their kids. That
(34:49):
one I'm not touching. We've all had, we've got kids, Okay,
I don't care if kids scrimp their kids once around
the room. Does that bother you if someone's kids are
act I mean, this came up the list. I just
chose not to really go to it until I did.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Yeah, it's messy, just because you know, you obviously want
kids to not be screaming the whole time, but kids
are going to be kids and tantrums happen, so you
just got to be okay with it.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
We ought in public. It's bound to happen. You're bound
to run into it. If you don't want that, stay
at home and order your food to be delivered.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
You know, you got to go along to get along
in life. And I've been in many restaurants for the
table next to me and the kids crying. Honest to God,
I don't care. Let the people live their lives. I
remember when my son was, you know, a year old,
many years ago. We were at a restaurant and he
was acting up a little. These tool farsters sitting across
from me and just looked staring bullet holes through my forehead.
(35:39):
And finally I looked at I looked at the guy.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I had enough.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I said, hey, buddy, do you have kids. He goes no,
I said, lucky for them. I mean, mind your own business. Okay,
the world ain't perfect. We got to go along to
get along. All right, good stuff everybody coming up. We
wrap up the show. And for you Michigan fans, you're
not going to be real happy with what the Ohio
State Athletic Director said. And if we have time, we
might get to the new policy in Green Bay this year.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
All right, Thanks Eddie. We are wrapping it up on
the Ben Mallor Show. And before I go any further,
I want to thank our broadcast team, the crew back
in Los Angeles. Theyve been with me since eleven pm
Pacific on Sunday night. Eddie Garcia, great job on the updates.
And then Paul the Hockey Talk, and among other things,
brand new full of what my name, Lorena Peterson as
(37:10):
always on the ones and twos bringing the life to
the show and Coop with the great research and the
quick wit. Great job. Everybody appreciate it. I'm sure we'll
be doing it again before the year's out. Really appreciate
the teamwork. By the way, if you attend a game
at lambell Field this year, good news. You can partake
(37:32):
in a few extra things you couldn't before, you know,
like vaping cigarettes and even the Delta eight pre rolls
you can smoke in the stands during the upcoming season.
If that didn't get you out to lambeau Field before,
I'm sure it will now. Okay, the games played on grass,
maybe you can be on grass while you're in the stadium.
See what I did there. Maybe Ohio State athletic director
Jean Smith, with all the respect, maybe he was on grass.
(37:54):
He pulled no punches. Recently, when he was asked on
an NPR show whether he believes Michigan's recent football victor
over the Buckeyes should come with an asterisk because of
the Wolverines sign stealing scandal, Smith said, of course, I do,
of course I do. The rules are in place to
protect the integrity of the game and try your best
to create a level playing field. When those rules are
(38:14):
violated that it affects those principles, we have to keep
them in perspective. Well, it turns out mister Smith, who's
done a fine job at Ohio State, is retiring this year.
He's retiring in July. S week's going Out with the Bang,
Going Out with the Bang. Michigan has a three game
winning streak over Ohio State. I don't know if Michigan's
gonna beat him this year, though, but you know, I'm
wondering if mister Smith wants to take that one back
not necessarily good look, might want to work on your
(38:37):
on your gap integrity versus worrying about sign stealing. But
be that as a may Ohio State Michigan one I
look forward to every year. Gonna wrap it up on
the Ben Mallor Show. Been a pleasure being your hosts.

(00:25):
and as you know, what we like to do is
interject some high jinks that I use on my Saturday
night show because see we kind of pay attention here
and in this great country of ours, from seed to
Oily Sea. Every day people do things, and they do
things that cause you to sometimes scratch your head. Now,
sometimes these events are very innocuous. They're just silly, and
(00:46):
you know, no one loses an eye or anything like that.
But other than that, there are many times where these
activities become far more serious, far more dangerous. Oftentimes they
run to follow the law. They can land you in
jail or worse. But any way you slice it, any
way you characterize it, anyway you describe it, these activities
(01:08):
that people engage in twenty four to seven three sixty
five were across the country and around the world. They
always leave you scratching your head and asking yourself, what
kind of brand new fool are you? You can still
hit the button, Lorena, What kind of brand new fool
are you? Lorena will find it. Anytime we find these
(01:33):
people that do these crazy things, no matter how innocuous
or how crazy, they leave us asking ourselves, what kind
of brand new fool are you?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What kind of brand new fool are you?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Not gonna lie? They actually broke this one out recently,
but it got so much attention, no joke, people ask
me to do it again. And gentlemen, girls and boys,
mom and dad, at and uncle, grandpa. A man from Arkansas,
we take you to Baxter County, Arkansas, and we introduce
(02:12):
you to fifty five year old Theodore Morgovan. He's in
little bit of trouble. Okay. You see a police officer,
a Baxter County deputy, was making the rounds one night,
get all around this commercial storage facility near midtown, and
all of a sudden, out of the corner of his eye,
(02:32):
this deputy had happened to notice that there is a
car in the parking lot around one in the morning,
and it was rocking back and forth. Oh so the officer,
doing his duty to protect and serve, decided he go
(02:53):
up and take a little bit of a closer look. Well,
as he peaked in the car, he saw a fifty
five year old mister Mortgavan getting busy being sexual wait
for it, with a stuffed annimal. Can't make this stuff up, folks,
(03:14):
He's in the report. Well, mister Morgavan was charged with
two constant possession of a controlled substance, public sexual indecency,
possession of drug paraphernilia, and bringing drug paraphernalia into a
government facility, all while getting busy with give me a
little something something here all arena getting busy with a
(03:37):
stuffed annibal. Okay, well no, no, I was begging for
like a rim shot or never mind, let's move on.
After going to jail, investigators continued to search mister mister
Morgarvan's personal effects and guess what the icing on the cake?
They found three grams of meth. Theodore Morgarvan getting busy
(04:01):
with a stuffed animal. Charged with possession of a control substance,
public sexual indecency, possession of drug parapherilia and bringing drug
paraphernilia into a government facility. Well, he was arrested and
they continue to search his car. The story is on going.
You think mister Morgarman's in trouble. But it raises the
question once again, mister Morgarvan, Theodore Mortgarvan, fifty five years old,
(04:24):
Baxter County, Arkansas, what kind of brand new fool are you? Oh?
I gotta lie down, I gotta lie down after that one.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
But that Nick car shaking, If it was just a
stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, he was getting busy, he was getting busy. This
is in the officers report. Well, you can use your imagination.
You can use your imagination, which I hate to do
in this particular case. You're a smart guy, Coop, You're
a smart guy.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's why we call it brand new fool.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
So it had to have been a large stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Then maybe maybe wimbe, we'll have you know, we we'll
look into that. Maybe he'd had too many of those
hot wings and he was losing his mind all right.
That fortunately allows us now to segue into our second
favorite bit that we lovingly refer to as what my
name and of course, our crew here is a veteran
(05:19):
at this game. They actually do quite well at it.
All right, we begin. You know, there was talk last
week about Lebron being the head coach of the Lakers.
Well he can't because of the new CBA. What's not
new anymore. It's been around thirty years, for crying out aloud.
Because of the CBA and the salary cap issues, a
player can no longer be a coach. So, in fact,
(05:42):
I was the last player coach in the NBA, Eddie Garcia,
What my name?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Well, the only one I know is Bill Russell, so
I'll go with Bill Russell.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, you've got the right organization. But he wasn't the
last one. But that's an excellent guess. You're on the
right track. I'm actually the last player coach in the NBA.
Coop what my name?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
My guess was also going to be Bill Russell. Uh,
but you said the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
How about Casey Jones.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Casey Joes actually was the head coach in the eighties,
but I think he was long done playing by then.
Good guesses not that Lebron can't coach in the NBA
because of the rules, but I was the last player
coach in the NBA to be able to do this.
Loreena Peterson, what my.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Name, Larry Bird?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know what you're in there? It was right before
Larry Bird's time, gentlemen by the name of Dave Cowens,
big stud Dave Collins roaming the sidelines and I remember
did he roam.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
The sidelines in his uniform?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He did?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I guess. I guess that that's was his supid question
to ask, is going to be in a suit and
then like rip it off or that'd be his shorts
underneath you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Can do super Well, Well, here's the thing. Yet, it's
it's a fair question because he didn't play every night.
He was a player coach. It's not like he started
he put himself on the starting lineup, but he did
appear in games. And if you google pictures of Dave Cown,
he's a big, physical, strapping dude man. And so you're
you're not really wrong, Eddie. I mean there were nights
(07:19):
he had a suit on aume.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I assume Pete Rose was the last man to do
it at any of the major sports.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well he was. He was a player, Yeah, he was
a player manager, I believe up till nineteen eighty five.
I don't think it's been done since. I don't think so,
really really really not practical. Could you do it in
hockey eighty could you do that?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I don't think so. I don't think I think baseball
is the one where you could do it, because Pete
was kind of at the end, right, he was just
kind of a pinch hitter.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh yeah, by that point, By that point Pete was
Pete was forty four years old, and he didn't he
he wasn't doing a whole hell of a lot, but
he was on the active roster and as a manager.
Good stuff. Actually, Dave Collins, all right, staying with baseball.
You know, people get thrown out of games every now
and then, but in the street of Major League Baseball,
I've been objected. I've been ejected by more times than
(08:04):
any other human being in the history of Major League Baseball.
Eddie Garcia what my name?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
My knee jerk reaction was to go with Billy Martin.
But I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna go with
Earl Weaver.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
See that's an excellent, excellent guest, but it's actually not
Earl Weaver and Billy Martin has been good too. We
wea we just brought up to an art form, all right.
In the history of Major League Baseball, I've been ejected
by more in more games than any other human being
in the history of Major League Baseball. That's the Department
of Redundancy. Department Coop.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What my name, lou Panella.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Oh, that's another good one. Lou got the real red ass,
not lou Panella, the history of Major League Baseball I've
been ejected by. I've been ejected more times than anybody
else in major league history. I'll give you guys a
clue and you can help her. But Lorena might get it.
Who knows, longtime manager of the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I know it is now.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I only have so many names on my list of
people that I could pull from.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
But what about Bobby Cox.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'll be tipping poop en rolled in bread Crumb's Lorena
got it?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, Google?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Is it serial? I gotta tell a story, as you'll know.
As you'll notice, I don't. I don't give any rules.
When I first started this game two years ago, we
had a particular producer no longer with Fox, and every
time I called on him, thirty never missed an answer,
and the other guys were riding him like a red
and mule. You're googling, you're Googling's well, you know, I
haven't made up any rules. If you really want to
(09:34):
google that, you can do it. Kind of kills his fit.
It's all, it's all good.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
It's a Ben Maller move.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I love Ben. All right.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Wow, wow, you know, I just feel like I should
give be given more credit the fact that I was
able to google it so accurately. I'm giving it the answer,
write Coop.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
That means my fingers were accurate.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Okay, well let.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Me tell you what you really get credit for, Lorena.
The acting chops did not go unnoticed. You were like, oh,
would it be Bobby Cox? See, I mean, just, you know,
really an Academy Award type performance there.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I've been learning from Coop.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Okay, well you've been you've been teaching you. Well, all right,
on the flip side of the coin, we're gonna go
deep into the cookie jar here. I played the most
Major League games in history, three twenty six without ever
being ejected once. Eddie Garcia what my name.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You said, played the most?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, he played the most games three twenty six. He
you know, that's the most games I ever played with
ever being ejected, not even one time.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I'll go Ken griff.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's an excellent one. Not Ken Griffy Jr.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We'll just go ahead, Lorna.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Go Alex Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Not Alex Rodriguez. He's been ejected. Now we're going deep
into the cookie jar. This is an old timey one,
but it's a Hall of Famer Coop. I played more
games than anybody else in Major league history threeenty twenty six,
ever being ejected. What my name?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
We're talking old old timer?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I think so, not Babe rute type, but you know,
a couple of decades after that, let's go.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I don't know, I have no I him Mickey Mantle.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Mickey Mantle. I applaud the effort. It's always good to
get out a name you never know. Stan Usual stand
the man usual? YEP. I guarantee you Eddie's gonna get
this one, all right. We talked a little bit about
fighting in the National Hockey League. Well, in the history
of the NHL, I have had more fights than anybody
(11:44):
that ever played the game, total of three hundred and
thirty three. Eddie RCA, what my name? Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wow, is it Dave Tiger Williams.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh that's such a good one, yo, Vancouver Canuck. I
met him once. Nicest guy in the world, crazy fou mouth,
but a nice guy. Not him. The history of the NHL,
I've had more fights than anybody. Three hundred and thirty three.
Coop what my name?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I don't know anything about hockey. I can't even give
you a guess.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Bobby Orr, Well, you.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Know something about hockey if you're going there, all right?
Not Bobby Orr What do I think Lorraine is going
to get this? In the history of the NHL, I've
had more fights than anybody total, three hundred and thirty three.
Loreena Peterson, what my name?
Speaker 7 (12:30):
I'm gonna go with the handsome Adam Henriq.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That was so random.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Look at you? Come on, you know, help yourself to
some cookies. It's not the correct answer. This guy had
lightning quick fists, I mean, and even when into Eddie.
This will be a clue. He went into the stands
once to Pamela Fan who hit him on the head
of the shoe.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You remember that, I mean, I remember the Boston Bruins
doing that Mike Milbury was involved with that.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Uh, this might have been a separate incident. Anyway, Let's
let's move along. It's actually ty DOMI.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ty Dome his kids playing now.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, yep, he's been in a few brawls as well.
Let's stay with hockey. As a head coach, I hold
the all time record for most wins in game seven
in the playoffs, I'm now eight and oh Eddie Garcia,
what my name? Pete de boor the bar maam just
happened the other day and he knocked off the Golden Knights.
Moving right along as we are now in the NBA playoffs.
(13:31):
Believe it or not, After all these years, after all
these years, I still hold the record for the most
points in a single NBA playoff game. I once scored
sixty three? Coop? What my name?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Can you repeat the question?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Sure? After all these years, I still hold the all
time playoff NBA record for most points of a single
game with sixty three. Coop? What my name?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You did this? You did this one last week?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Did I do that with you guys last week?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
It's Michael Jordan, you got it, my friend.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Nicely done, nicely he done.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
You know, what's about as I still would have gotten
it wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Don't don't show, don't sell yourself shortly, you might have
gotten it right right. Well, never know because it was
never officially asked. All right, you're gonna get this one right.
I just turned ninety three years young last week and
legendary manager Leo Dero Derocher called me the greatest center
fielder of all time.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Centerfield is football, right, absolutely strong safety?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yep, you got where where where?
Speaker 8 (14:31):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Weird? Oh whatever sport you.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Wanted to be, let's go with.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Oh lordie, uh the older guy, right, you said.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
The older yea, yeah, you're you're getting close, you're getting warm. Yep.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I don't want to guess Babe Ruth again because I've
already guessed.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Well, he didn't turn ninety three last week. That would
have been Yeah, that.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Was sev.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Ruth died in eight forty eight, like he actually died
at age fifty three, about sixty years ago. Do you
have a name for us? No? I pause, Eddie Garcia.
You're gonna get this one.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh yeah, And I have to admit when I saw
that it was his birthday, I was like, I was
a little embarrassed. He was dead and I didn't know
he was still alive. It's Will May.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is absolutely Willy Mays if I were cooking now
more NBA stuff. In spite of all my NBA championships,
believe it or not, believe it or not, I never
made a game winning shot in a playoff game in
the final minute of the game, Eddie Garcia, what my
name he's still playing?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh, okay, Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Then not Lebron. Yeah, that's a good one. I think
he had actually has maybe done one, but not Lebron James.
And I got to give, by the way, Jason Smith
credit for this. He came up with this a couple
of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Now it isn't Lebron though. Not that great at the
game winning shots though.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You're you're right, right, But I think in twenty one
years he probably made one in all of his playoff
games in the final minute. But uh, this this individual
has that distinction. Uh. And Rob Parker I think thinks
he's overrated.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
But well that would be Lebron James too.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, yeah, fair enough, you were Okay, it's actually not
him though. But in spite of all my MVPs NBA
championships for them, never made a game winning shot in
the playoffs. In the final minute of the game, Coop,
what my.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Name MVP S Sports Championships?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yep, he's won an yet all that, hey, sports is
weird man. Bob Yuker wants to go home run off
Sandy Kofax. So you never know what you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Get, is it, Giannis?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's not honest, it's actually oh, I'm sorry, I'm insteaded Larina.
You want, you're gonna get this one. I was gonna
guess Steph Curry's.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Exactly what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Say stuff Curry, say stuph Curry, job a joa. Al right,
if you are a betting fan here in Las Vegas,
we got two more of these. Okay. As a head
coach in the NBA, I have now lost five NBA
playoff games outright, even though my team was a double
digit favorite. Eddie Garcia, what my name?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Doc Rivers?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Lots of beauty, Not Doc Rivers, but boy, you'd think
he'd be one of mah. He's the master. When you're
up three games to one, right, you know what happens?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Then? Right?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Prepare, get your affairs in order? All right? In the
history of the NBA. I have lost five NBA playoff
games outright, even though my team is a double digit favorite. Coop,
what's my name? What my name was?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I was gonna guess Doc Rivers too, Not Doc Rivers.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'll give you a clue. He's still coaching in the
playoffs right now.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's a pretty good clue, is it.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
The fifth one was just last week. It's okay, we're
moving on. It's all good, all right, Lorena clutch, no pressure.
And I've lost five NBA playoff games outright as a
double digit favorite. What my name is it?
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Rudy Gobert?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Just because the names of me? Was he in that
movie Rudy? Rudy Gobert? Was he in that movie? Rudy? Okay,
never mind, I haven't seen it. It's actually Joel Missoula,
Boston Celtics. All right, Eddie, I gotta go to I
gotta do you have to go third on this one,
(18:49):
because I know you get this one in your sleep.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I recently made my Major League Baseball pitching debut for
the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I hit one hundred miles on
the radar gone seventeen times. Coop, what my name?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh, I've just been seeing a lot about this guy.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
But I I've checked out of baseball because the Angels
are crap organizations.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
So I can't it. It's like scheme or something like that, writers.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Eddie, Should the judges allow that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Absolutely? Lsu from Lsu it lit it up in the
Aworld series last year, and I watched him and he
looked really good. I had real command. And you know,
my fear, Eddie's for the good folks of Pittsburgh is
schemes will light it up in the next three four years.
Become a free agent, I'll end up in New York.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Or something that's never happened before.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No, never, No, yeah, exactly exactly. That's that's that's what
they say in Boston. They call that a wicked pissa.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I got Garrett Cole in New York. You've got Tyler
Glass now in La. Those are all pirate draft picks.
By the way, I know there's more of them too
out there.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
By the way, if you've been to P and C Park.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I've been to it. I have not seen an actual
gal beautiful.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Aw it's beautiful. I covered the Tigers for many years,
same architectural firm that built Chimerica Park, but they did
a better job. They took it and shrunk it down.
It's much more intimate. It's really really nice, a nice stadium,
and of course I even think they serve Primani Brothers
in this stadium. That will conclude outstanding job by all.
(20:25):
Appreciate the participation, appreciate the enthusiasm. We still got to
get to the number one foible when it comes to
grocery store mistakes, and I think we're all going to
agree about this one. We might have to. I think
we'll probably save that for Eddies after Eddie's updated the
(20:45):
bottom of the art. But I do want to get

Speaker 1 (23:36):
What I'm gonna call an audible, and I'm gonna share
with the folks. The Ohio State Athletic Director's comments at
the end of the show. They're worth hearing. We're gonna
get to the final foible in supermarket chronicles. But Eddie,
I couldn't resist this, believe it or not. Back in
nineteen seventy, a player for the Minnesota north Stars named
(23:59):
Charlie Burns became the last player coach in the NHL.
It actually happened. Apparently it happened after their head coach
Ren Blair was fired and in the mid season and
he took over as player coach. I'm Eddie. I never
would have guessed Charlie Burns, Minnesota north Stars.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I learned something today.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We've got to wrap this up and bring it home.
It started instantly recently as leaving your shopping cart in
the parking lot and not returning it to the grocery store.
It's morphed into numerous rude things that grocery store employees
and fellow shoppers alike. Take umber jet that we've all
been guilty of, or maybe not all of us, but
I've been eating potato chips in the ale, eating food
(24:43):
you haven't paid for yet. Yeah, you're gonna pay for it.
All that, I get it right, But that kind of
stuff where you're in line and you forgot an item
and you go back and get it what everybody else
waits in line. We've been through all those bringing your
dog to the store. Not good, coming in five minutes
before the store closes, and shopping and so you know,
not putting an item back when you were in the
aisle and you decided not to put it back. And
(25:05):
we've got some interesting calls from people, and I learned
a few things tonight. But the number one and it's
not even close. And I bet someone will wait in
this on a call at eight seven, seven, nine and
a half fox and we're gonna bring in the crew
this one. We can all agree. Yelling at employees, particularly,
here's what happens. Most Apparently you're looking for an item
(25:26):
and the clerk attempts to help you, and it turns
out that item is simply out of stock, take your
right where it is. They believe it's there, but turns
out they're just simply out of stock, and the customer
starts yelling at the employee because the item is out
of stock. Lorena, I've got to start with you on
(25:48):
this one. You got the floor.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
I think that would be absolutely ridiculous. Bernie.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Maybe at the holiday time when you're really on edge
and like maybe your grandma only wants that one specific
ham and you have a freak out accident. But like
when you, I don't know when people react like that,
it's just it looks so bad.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It embarrasses everybody around you.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Yeah, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
So since I did the show Thursday night with Ben
true story, I met im at the grocery store Sunday,
I don't check that Saturday morning, and the clerk behind
the register was very friendly, and the gentleman in front
of me, I'm not going to describe him. He was
(26:34):
an old fart pain in the ash looking guy. And
the clerk makes a suggestion, an innocuous suggestion, and the
and the and the and the patron in front of
me says, I don't take tips. I don't take tips.
On the golf course. I don't take tips at the gym,
and I don't take tips when I'm driving. Uh, you
know you you rolled your boat. I'll row mine. I
(26:56):
don't need your tip. True story. I'm behind the guy
and I'm thinking of my so goodness, dude, just what
the hell is your major malfunction? Son? Who looked the
red off your lollipop this morning? And he wasn't really yelling,
but he was borderline yelling, And the clerk says something
friendly back like, oh, well, you know, I'll row your
boat and my boat. No, no, no, I'll roll my
own boat. You row your own boat. He's yelling at
(27:18):
now had nothing to do with something being in stock.
That kind of rudeness made everybody around them uncomfortable, and
you have to ask yourself, do I do I you know,
do I step in with you know in this day
and age guy pulls out a glock nine and says, oh,
here you go, buddy, coo night right. Yeah, you know
that can cross your mind, But I didn't mean to
(27:40):
go down that road yelling at employees when something is
out of stock? Eddie, have you ever seen that or
been around that?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
You know, thoughts, I don't recall ever seeing that. I'm
trying to think of anytime I've uh seen, so I'm
sure it's happened, but it's not something that I've seen
very often. And I do all the shopping in the
in my household, so but no, I sure I haven't
seen that very much. The last thing I saw that
(28:09):
was interesting, I guess was some guys basically walked into
the grocery store, grabbed some beer, and then just walked
right out, like calmly, just walked out. And the people
who worked there saw it the whole way, and they
were like telling them, hey, hey, hey, you didn't pay
for that. You didn't pay for that, and then they
just walked right on out. And the manager was like,
(28:30):
just let him go. It's so we're like, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
That's the society we're in now. Yeah, And it's my understanding.
You've read it. You've read accounts in the paper or
heard them on the news where an employee starts to
accost somebody, the employees of getting fired or.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Hurt or seriously injured.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
So when I see employees try to fight back robbers
or stuff, especially with a lot of the.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Group, thieveries that we've had here in Los Angeles lately.
I'm like, don't even try, don't.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Don't.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
They can make insurance claims, don't. I love, it is
your life.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Take them down.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
You're not gonna win.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Some of them win.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I've seen, I've seen videos.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So Coop, if you so back to the yelling at customers,
which we know we're in an amped up, pissed off
on edge society. You look around and in any given minute,
probably two percent of the people are ready to go off.
And you know what, they don't wear badges, so you
don't know. And it's again, it's back to the misplaced anger,
(29:30):
So Coop, have you ever been, like, you know, in
a store when you're in line and someone's yelling at
the customer, yell or not yelling at the customer, excuse me,
yelling at the grocery the grocery store employee maybe something
was out of stock, whatever, and it's like it's their
fault that's out of stock. Your thoughts on that whole deal.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I've never seen that, really, Yeah, And I don't see
any reason that anybody should ever yell at an employee
anywhere unless that employee was being rude.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I was I was at the grocery store recently and
there was a mentally disturbed man who was yelling at everyone,
and the manager went out and he was in the
parking lot, and the manager went out and was filming
him in case he, you know, did anything, and he
started yelling at her, and I went over and stood
(30:19):
next to her just to kind of be like, hey,
you know, I'm I'm kind of here in case you
do something, and I'm not going to let you just,
you know, go after this woman. And sure, he said
all kinds of stuff, and like I said, he was
obviously was mentally disturbed, but just kind of was ranting
and raving in the parking lot and then when I
went about his business.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
But yeah, look, you know there's an old saying. Class
never goes out of style. Respect never goes out of style.
And I know people, most people attempt to be civil
in this world, and I know that's the case. Otherwise,
if it wasn't the case, you'd go to an NFL
game on Sundays where there's seventy two thousand people and
if ninety nine point nine percent of the people were
(30:59):
in civil be pandemonium, you never have enough security to
stop it. If something really broke out. Right, So the
vast majority of people are civil. But again, someone can
have a bad day, they can say something they normally
don't mean to say. Irrespective of it, you don't stop
and think about these things. I said, Like I said,
it all kind of started innocuously when someone tweeted at
(31:21):
me Thursday about bring up the grocery cart deal. I said,
we did, And obviously that led to the discussion, which
is sort of interesting because now we've come full circle.
It's gentlemen donkey sauce and says, hey, you guys got
to go to an Aldi's because they got Eddie. I'll
let you tell the story. They're actually announced they're building
an Aldi's here in Las Vegas, which is I think
some kind of European grocery store. Tell the folks for
(31:43):
that conversation went about the cart issue.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Oh well, I apologize when I remember who it was.
But the person on X said that to use the
shopping cart you have to deposit a quarter.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I think it's a donkey sausage. I think said that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Okay, yeah, even a deposit of quarter to use the
and then I guess you get it back at when
you return it or whatever. I'm like, yeah, I'm not
going through all that. I'm not I'm not jumping through
those whoes. Plus, I don't ever carry any any money
on me. I just use pay with my card much
less ever have any change. I might have like a
twenty maybe occasionally, but that's yeah, that's if my h
(32:19):
If there was a store like that, I would just
avoid it.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I guess it begs the question is is putting a
quarter deposit indemnify you or is that sort of like
prevent people from not returning the car? Would that be
enough of an incentive? I'm just kind of confused on
this one. You know again, I'm not that smart. I'm
no high school drop out. I went the full six years.
But it's like, all right, I parked three blocks away here,
I am oh wait, I got to bring this carpack
(32:44):
so get my quarterback. Is that would that be enough
of an incentive?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Well, it would be enough of incentive for me to
not shop there, so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
There you have it, folks. Uh, by the way, I
don't they have aldi in California? Did they have it to? Okay,
so fill the same coop? What is special about Aldi.
I understand they're unique.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I don't know. I've been there one time.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Anything stand out.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
It's like not your typical brands. I guess I don't know.
I don't know what the whole thing is.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I think they let their cashiers sit.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I well, I mean that's what I noticed when I
went shopping there. I've also only been there.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
You've been there.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Okay, there's one in the corner by my house. And yes,
the quarter thing is very true. You have to And
I didn't even use a car because I'm like, I
don't have a quarter.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Did they let you bring your dog?
Speaker 6 (33:44):
No, I don't have a dog.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I'm just asking him, like an in general generality.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
You know what, Honestly, they don't look like dog people
to me.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Do they have grapes there?
Speaker 6 (33:53):
I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
How are the grapes at Aldi versus like the grapes
at Van's right.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
We'll have to test this. Because I am a great person.
I love grapes. They're very juicy.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
I like a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I understand if you stomp them out with your feet
they turn into wine. Is that true? I read that
in a book I love, one that includes our collective
whining about grocery store foibles, and that's what we do.
We try to engage in in depth conversations so that
hopefully the world can be a better place. Have we
(34:25):
covered them all, by the way, folks, We covered all
the egregious the agrievances that that people are involved in,
and the grocery stores did the things they do. And
I didn't even get to some of the other ones,
like cutting in line. That's stupid. I mean, obviously you
no one's gonna like that. One of the other ones
I didn't bring up was people complaining about other folks
who don't have a quote leash on their kids. That
(34:49):
one I'm not touching. We've all had, we've got kids, Okay,
I don't care if kids scrimp their kids once around
the room. Does that bother you if someone's kids are
act I mean, this came up the list. I just
chose not to really go to it until I did.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Yeah, it's messy, just because you know, you obviously want
kids to not be screaming the whole time, but kids
are going to be kids and tantrums happen, so you
just got to be okay with it.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
We ought in public. It's bound to happen. You're bound
to run into it. If you don't want that, stay
at home and order your food to be delivered.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
You know, you got to go along to get along
in life. And I've been in many restaurants for the
table next to me and the kids crying. Honest to God,
I don't care. Let the people live their lives. I
remember when my son was, you know, a year old,
many years ago. We were at a restaurant and he
was acting up a little. These tool farsters sitting across
from me and just looked staring bullet holes through my forehead.
(35:39):
And finally I looked at I looked at the guy.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I had enough.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I said, hey, buddy, do you have kids. He goes no,
I said, lucky for them. I mean, mind your own business. Okay,
the world ain't perfect. We got to go along to
get along. All right, good stuff everybody coming up. We
wrap up the show. And for you Michigan fans, you're
not going to be real happy with what the Ohio
State Athletic Director said. And if we have time, we
might get to the new policy in Green Bay this year.
(36:05):
You get to kind of bring your own special effects.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
All right, Thanks Eddie. We are wrapping it up on
the Ben Mallor Show. And before I go any further,
I want to thank our broadcast team, the crew back
in Los Angeles. Theyve been with me since eleven pm
Pacific on Sunday night. Eddie Garcia, great job on the updates.
And then Paul the Hockey Talk, and among other things,
brand new full of what my name, Lorena Peterson as
(37:10):
always on the ones and twos bringing the life to
the show and Coop with the great research and the
quick wit. Great job. Everybody appreciate it. I'm sure we'll
be doing it again before the year's out. Really appreciate
the teamwork. By the way, if you attend a game
at lambell Field this year, good news. You can partake
(37:32):
in a few extra things you couldn't before, you know,
like vaping cigarettes and even the Delta eight pre rolls
you can smoke in the stands during the upcoming season.
If that didn't get you out to lambeau Field before,
I'm sure it will now. Okay, the games played on grass,
maybe you can be on grass while you're in the stadium.
See what I did there. Maybe Ohio State athletic director
Jean Smith, with all the respect, maybe he was on grass.
(37:54):
He pulled no punches. Recently, when he was asked on
an NPR show whether he believes Michigan's recent football victor
over the Buckeyes should come with an asterisk because of
the Wolverines sign stealing scandal, Smith said, of course, I do,
of course I do. The rules are in place to
protect the integrity of the game and try your best
to create a level playing field. When those rules are
(38:14):
violated that it affects those principles, we have to keep
them in perspective. Well, it turns out mister Smith, who's
done a fine job at Ohio State, is retiring this year.
He's retiring in July. S week's going Out with the Bang,
Going Out with the Bang. Michigan has a three game
winning streak over Ohio State. I don't know if Michigan's
gonna beat him this year, though, but you know, I'm
wondering if mister Smith wants to take that one back
not necessarily good look, might want to work on your
(38:37):
on your gap integrity versus worrying about sign stealing. But
be that as a may Ohio State Michigan one I
look forward to every year. Gonna wrap it up on
the Ben Mallor Show. Been a pleasure being your hosts.
