Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kubbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
In the air everywhere. Welcome into the Audio Dojo, another
edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny
G Radio, a spin off of the Ben Mahler Show.
You hear Danny G with Covino and Richie. You hear
me bloviating into the night, five nights a week in
(00:51):
this podcast. As you know, it's heard every weekend. We
have three original podcasts. You will not get this content
anywhere else. A bit on the iHeart Podcast Network or
wherever you happen to download the podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And we thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting
the show. You've been great.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
The reviews continue to pop up. In fact, we will
have coming up in a little bit on this The
Saturday edition will have Backscratcher.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We had a few more reviews.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We have stamp of approval, Viva Las Vegas, Tales from
the Naked City with our man Danny G.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And you make the call. So we got all that.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Content and we're going to get the party started here
right now. So the stamp of approval, the Life of
malor the Life of Danny G. So I talk about
what happens and then nothing too exciting happened. Of course
you could argue nothing ever that exciting happens kind of
the day to day, but that's most of life. It's
just the day to day stuff. That's kind of how
(01:55):
you live your life, right. You have a few big
events mixed in. Then you kind of call it a
day and you look at your scorecard and see how
you did when you're ready to check out. But in
the last since we last talked, kind of quiet. Wife
was working. She's been working a lot of extra shifts
at the police station. She's a nine to one to
one operator, so she was doing that, and I take
(02:17):
care of stuff around the house, do some shopping, take
out the trash, that kind of stuff. But I did
end up cooking on Saturday Saturday. Saturday Saturday, I opened
up Benny's pizzeria. Benny's Pizzeria was open for business. Now
on the menu. Here's the menu, Danny, I want to
see if you approved the menu. I had breadsticks, but
(02:40):
not just breadsticks, a rip off version of the round
Table garlic parmesan breadsticks.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You ever had those?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Oh, yes, I have.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That is the Let me tell you something that is
food porn.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know what they do with those things at Roundtable,
but my god, you get that a little marina on
the side.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh heaven, heaven, it's a meal in itself. It is,
it is.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And if if Roundtable didn't cost nine hundred dollars for
a pie, I might go back there. But instead I
just make ripoff versions. So I made this Roundtable garlic
palmers on breadstick plate. And if you've never been to
Round Table, which I think is only on the West coast,
r it's a northern California place.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think it's only kind of in the West. I
don't think it's a national chain.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
But it's really good and cheesy, loaded with garlic goodness.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So I made that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That was the appetizer, and then I made not one,
but two authentic original mallard pies from the old Country,
which is not really the Old Country, because you know,
I came up with the recie, but.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's just what I like. So what is a mallard pie?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
If you've not heard before, Well, this was actually on
the menu Danny in Michigan, Grand Rapids, Michigan, home of
Floyd Mayweather and his family, if I remember correctly, there
was a a pizzaia like a bar pizzeria that put
this on the menu. Then they took it off the menu,
but it was on the menu. So a malard pie,
(04:09):
it's it's And I made two of these, so large pizza.
You got the dough and all that thinly cut onion.
So I use a mandolin to cut the the onion
ridiculously thin, as thin as I can possibly get the onion.
I then put bell pepper, chopped the bell up, put
(04:30):
that all over, put a bunch of garlic on top
to keep the vampires away.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Put a mound of mozzarella all over that bad boys the.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Tomato sauce, and then you put the mozzarella on top
and put some other cheeses. Mix the cheeses up a
wonderful medley of cheeses, and it's a little slice of paradise.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I did this all, you know, just on Saturday. I
spent a lot time putting this thing together, and I
had to time it. See that the time for me
is the timing thing. Because the wife was at work,
she was on her way home, so I wanted to
line it up, and so I was a little off
on the timing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
She got there. My father in law stopped by.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And he joined us because his stepdaughter had a baby
in North Carolina, so everything's kind of messed up. He's
been spending time in North Carolina, spending time in California,
where he lives, and so he came over to have
a home cooked meal and aye of that. And I'm
happy to report, Danny, that I did pick up the
(05:40):
father in law seal of approval.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was all concerned because this is the pizza I like.
You know, when you make food that you like, You're like, I.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Don't know that anyone wants onion and bell pepper and
garlic on their pizza. Maybe they want, you know, classic
sausage of the pepperoni or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And this is what I got. But he did like it.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He gave me the seal of approval and took confirmed
that he did like it. We had a bunch of
left I made too much food, so we had a
bunch of leftover pizza and breadsticks. Actually the bread sticks
went pretty quick. There was leftover pizza, and so he
took a bag of pizza.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well yeah, that's when you ask for some tinfoil.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, yeah, so he took some. He took some pizza,
and then I was like, well, maybe he's just being polite.
Part of me is like, well, maybe he's just being polite.
You know, I don't want to be a dick, and
he wants me to think that he likes the pizza.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know, I like the pizza or whatever he likes it.
So I was kind of rolling over that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But the next day I got a text and he said, hey,
I loved it. Tastes just as good the second day,
and so I was like, there you go. I got evidence,
mission accomplished, and so I was. I was happy about this,
but these round table garlic palmers on breadsticks, this ripoff version,
Oh man, it's the way to go. I don't think
(06:56):
you can get that in Viva Las Vegas, Dandy. I
don't know that you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, maybe you can't. You can get just about
anything you want in Vegas, but I've never seen that.
Is there a round table in Vegas?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They got a bunch of other pizza places there, so
who knows.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You have a bunch of different spots. They're like Slice,
which I saw at the Mandalay Bay as you walk
into the Luxelre.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It was a great NBA con, the very first one
that they tried. In their mind, I think they wanted
to kind of be like a comic con, but for
basketball nerds. There were all kinds of vendors and fashion
like NBA fashion there.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How much did it cost to get into NBA Con?
How are they charging?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I think it was thirty dollars for kids for kids,
in fifty for adults, I believe.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, But in Vegas that's you know, it's not too
horrible because there was a sneaker con thing going on
right next door, which was even more expensive. And then
of course the cigar weekend was going on there where
all these old, these old NBA looking dudes were in
line for cigars.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The villivily quiet, you.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Know, Las Vegas, it's very, very expensive, but I think
inside there they had enough stuff going on for the
kids where when my son gets old enough, I would
bring them to something like this, because instead of a
skate park inside this massive convention center connected to Vandali Pay,
it was a basketball park. So they had all these
(08:32):
things that looked like Disneyland, created these basketball hoop trees
with basketball hoops all the way around in a three sixty.
Kids could slam, dunk, fall, bounce off the tarp and
it was really really cool. Man. There was even little
toddlers running around. It was basketball heaven for little kids.
(08:56):
And then you go to the middle and there was
like a huge basketball am was on store where you
could order exclusive NBA gear and they ship it right
to you so that you don't have to lug it
around with you all weekend. So they had some cool concepts,
some good ideas. They had a big stage where they
had live performers, and that's also the stage where Adam
(09:18):
Silver got up there and made his weird announcement about
the in season tournament.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
The highlight though, was Dominique Wilkins on our set. We
got to interview him former clipper. Yeah, former clipper, although
he said in the interview, he'd like to forget those years.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, it's it's true.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
When he was traded for Danny Manning, I was covering
the team at the time, and he was like a
sad puppy dog, like a Bassett hound. You know, he
was so depressed. He was so so depressed playing for
the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
What is still wrong with the Clippers? They were terrible
in those days.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
At the play the Mausoleum Sports Arena, it was brilliant.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, had it been the Bomber Clippers, he would have,
you know, blended in better with a Blake Griffin and
a Lob City. But yeah, back then it was a
sad situation for him.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And now, at one point Dominique for those that are
of not of the age, like Dominique Wilkins played in
the eighties, but at one point he was neck and
neck with Michael Jordan, like they were they were the
two great dunkers, dom Jordan, and then it's like they
were even and all of a sudden, Jordan like took off.
(10:33):
But for a while, Dominique Wilkins was considered the same
player as Jordan, and you know, very similar similar guy
as far as a dunking guy and a high flyer
and all that, and then Jordan.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Took it to the next level.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
He even was runner up to Jordan's scoring title. Yeah, man,
a lot of people they asked him that too. They said, Hey,
when you google Dominique Wilkins, one of the first things
that comes up said why is he so underrated? He said,
he thinks it's because he didn't play alongside another genuine superstar.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's a shot at doc rivers. That's a shot who.
I think the show was old HOWK John Contact.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I think was in Atlanta, a split web free rawlins right, Yes, yeah,
some of those old HOWK players back of the day.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
That's very nice guy. It was really cool and he
stayed for like an extra fifteen twenty minutes after the
interview to take pictures with everybody that was there. It
was like a live audience setting of wordless Mic where
they did Q and A with Covino and Rich and
some of the people that showed up. So it was
really that was cool that all went very smooth and
(11:45):
our bosses were happy. H There was lots of excitement
around the iHeart stage. Now interviews over, we pack up,
I clean the stage, up for the next show that's
going to go on, and I have to go to
the bathroom really bad. I've been holding number one and
(12:06):
I'm like, I gotta get to the restroom. So I'm
asking people where are the restrooms here? And somebody an
intended pointing me all the way to the back of
the convention center, and so I'm doing that Indian dance,
racist except politically incorrect.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Just go for it. Why not?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I did the Indian dance all the way to the
back of the convention center. Yeah, and I find the restroom.
When I come out, there's all the there's all these
kids jumping up and down, super excited, and there's a
few mean security guards saying step back, step back, and
I'm like, what's going on here? So I get my
camera out, like they all had their cameras out. I
(12:49):
don't even know what's going on, but I became part
of the crowd. There comes Isaiah Thomas walking through and
he's given us high fives and he's doing his Isaiah smile,
and I'm like, well, that's cool. And then moments later,
a giraffe enters the building. Who is it this Wembanyama kid? Seriously,
(13:11):
when he walks through a crowd. It looks like a
giraffe at a zoo.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But he's seven five.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
They said, holy shit, I guess like seven to seven
and his sneakers. I've never seen a human being that
tall in my life. This guy would make you look
like Arnold West. I can't. Would you talk about Mallard?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, well, you know, but he's not the thing about
I've seen him like he's very scrawny, like he's say,
he's got to fill out. But like the two biggest
human beings I've ever seen in my life were both
basketball players.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It was George Mirrasan who was in it.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
That guy was huge.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
He was in a movie with Billy Crystal and the
other one is Yao Ming and I guess Shaq would
be on there as well, but Yao Ming and George.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Mirras On were monsters, so Shack was also put.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, but this guy is so skinny, though, do you
think he might be able to break him like a draft,
you know, the legs on a draft.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, that's why when we were on the air, I said,
I don't care what he says about skinny up or whatever.
He's got to put some muscle on. Whether that's fifteen
to twenty pounds. He's got to put something on because
if I'm an NBA coach, I'm telling my players, hey,
rough him up. He's definitely a skinny dude, and I
think you could probably push him around the court if
(14:33):
you wanted to play physical like that.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, he's like a piece of straw. And then the
guy in Oklahoma City who missed last year. I forget
the kid's name from. Was he Gonzaga. He's also built
like that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, it's like they remind me of here's an outdated reference.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
But why not a Minute Bowl? When I started as
a radio report, Minute was still playing. He was playing
for the Golden State Wars and they had him shoot
three point shots.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
The guy seven to seven minute Bowl?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
How about an early Kevin Durant.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, Durant was Spindley he was also but yeah or not.
Minootpole never filled out like Mark Eaton, who I think
he passed away copters. But he was a giant man too.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
For the Utah Jazz there.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Were a lot of massive Kevin Duckworth who's also dead,
but he was massive.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He played with the Clippers at the end of his career.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Oh, speaking of Clippers. I saved the best for last
four year.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Right. Here we go, Here, we go here.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
When we first entered the convention Center on day one,
we noticed the NBA mascots right away, Slamson the Lion
and Chuck the Condor, who we talked about a lot
on your live radio show Overnights Trash. He even had
his own sound effects. Yeah, you know, he's a star.
(15:52):
And they had a charity basketball court in the center
of the convention Center where they were raising money and
giving away prizes, and they were like firing off T
shirts and there were certain like players shooting three pointers
to raise money and stuff like that going on with
an MC yelling and screaming into the microphone.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So in dancing ooh drizzle.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So we're watching a little bit of this and Slamson
comes up and he snaps a quick picture with Covino
and Rich. I see Chuck out of the corner of
my eye.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now full disclosure stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Slamson is the King's mascot right right right, the Lion.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Okay, Sacramento's finest. Yeah, okay, So out of the corner
of my eye, I see Chuck the Condor, and I
tell cn R I'm like, you got to get a
picture with Chuck.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is this like seeing Jesus? Is this as very similar?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Very close?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
So we I mean people were getting pushed over. It
was much like the scene when Wemby, when I mean
kids and adults were pushing each other over. Same thing
with Chuck the Condor.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You got mascot loyalty and with apologies to Benny the
Bull and Lucky the Leprechaun and all that, this is
Chuck the Efen Condor, okay, and the gorilla in Phoenix
and all that. I'm sorry you got the Condor?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
What what?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
What?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Just like that, So he he's nice enough to take
a selfie with Covino and Rich. I'm wearing my Kobe jersey,
and Rich points to me, trying to start trouble as usual,
and he's like, take a picture with a Kobe fan here,
And so Chuck immediately does his karate kid crane stance
(17:37):
like he's gonna kick me in the face.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, that's my man, Chuck. There, violent mascot, Chuck the Condor.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I square up and I get my hand like I'm
gonna punch him in his two can sam nose. And
then they said the magic words they said, take one
picture for Ben Mallard, who Ben Mallard came out of
Rich Davis's mouth. Chuck the Condor's head was shaking up
and down, like just do it, do it.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's my mascot, that's my guy, the great Chuck the Condor.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Come on now.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
So, as you know, these these mascots are not allowed
to talk. But the way he reacted to hearing Ben Mahller,
you know that you are on an even higher level
than Clipper Darryl.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Well, that's a I'm flattered and I'm smiling. I have
a chess Shire cat smiled, Danny. I'm so happy from
here to here now. I was at Chuck the Condor's
birthday party a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Loser that was like mascot porn?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Was that because it was the same thing because they
was Chuck the Condor. They had all these other random
mascots and it was awesome. But I got I got
photo with Chuck and the person that took the photo
he botched a lot of the photos. So I got
to go back to another mascot party. So would you
rate this, Danny, I've only been to the NFL experience obviously,
this was new NBA con Is it NBA on better
(19:00):
than the NFL experience?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The NFL experience is like a lot of.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
It's very similar, but it's not as polished. So I'm
going to say it's going to take another year or
two of them working out the kinks to get it
to roll as smooth as an NFL experience.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, the NFL has been doing that for thirty years.
So in the end, I wanted to think the NBA
hired the same people that put the NFL thing together, like, hey,
can you help us out here?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Possibly because it looked very similar.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, there's there's likely a kind of a map or
a framework that you got to use. And Baseball does
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
They have their All Star fan fest that they had
in Seattle this week, so you know, why not there.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You go knock yourself out.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
So you make the call. Used to love these, you
make the call. We'll make this quick. So got back
from the gym this week, was walking in the kitchen
get some water after I'd done my time on the treadmill.
I took a wrong step. Now you make the call
on what happened. This is multiple choice A. Did I
(20:13):
step on bella poopy. B. Did I trip and hurt
my toe on the side of a table. C I
sliced my foot open with a gusher of blood on
a piece of glass, or D none of the above.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You make the call.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I'm gonna say that you hurt your toe, you kicked
the side of it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You think you're going with B that I tripped on
I hit the table with my toe. The correct answer
reveal answers is C dand it was actually see, I
was walking barefoot after I took my shoes off. That
got all my sweaty clothes off. So I was going
to get some water and I'm walking through the kitchen
(21:02):
and my my wife.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Of course I was barefoot.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
My wife had dropped a bottle of I think it
was avocado oil, and this thing shattered. This was like
a few days earlier, and so she thought she had
gotten all the pieces of glass. Oiler alert, got a
giant shard of glass right in my underneath my right foot,
(21:27):
you know. And so I'm like, you know, you step
on my feet are pretty you know, I walk barefoot
a lot. So I have a lot of scar tissue
on my feet and a lot of callous or whatever.
They're not the most aesthetically pleasing feet.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
It happens.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So I'm I'm like, you step on it and you
know you've just it doesn't feel right. You're like, oh boy,
it didn't hurt that much. But then I picked my
foot up and I saw a puddle of blood and
I was like, well, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But it's at the bottom of my foot.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
So I grabbed the paper towel, I got a little
water and I.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I put pressure on it and it forces. It didn't stop.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
It was One thing about glass is it goes pretty quick.
It's in and out real quick.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Get a gigy.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So that's that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
We have the backscratcher. This is the backscratcher. You scratch
our back, we scratch your back. These are actual reviews
of the podcast this week.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We got two two reviews this week, which is great.
Oh yes, yep, thank you all for that. This one's
reads five star content guy says I'm new at reviews,
but feel that the big guys in the offices who
read the reviews need to read this. These two guys,
Ben Mallor and Danny G deliver extremely relatable and consistently
(22:54):
enjoyable content. How about that Number one, I says, I'm
a fan of the teams. And although Big Ben, M
and H's live check this out Danny from Northern California,
I can say that I would proudly request to take
the mal Or Militia oath to listen to Ben and
Danny g whenever and on whatever platform I can find them.
(23:19):
Number two, Good job, fellas, thanks for your time. That's
Native American Malor.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
P one Hey, nice review. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yes, And as you know, Danny, not many people know
I live in Northern California. Most people think I live
in the Los Angeles area. They don't realize that I
live in the Bay Area. It's a big surprise.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You don't talk about it very often. But you bought
mc hammers old mansion that he had to sell for
change on the dollar because he got so upside down.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That is correct. Yes, And I hang out with Mason
the Millennial in the Bay Area and I love writing
bart love it all.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Next review on Backscratcher, We've got Marcus from Bruceville, Eddie, Texas.
He says, the capital of Texas. Great show listen every weekend.
Marcus says, God bless you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):

Kubbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

The reviews continue to pop up. In fact, we will

Speaker 1 (01:17):
We had a few more reviews.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We have stamp of approval, Viva Las Vegas, Tales from
the Naked City with our man Danny G.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And you make the call. So we got all that.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Content and we're going to get the party started here
right now. So the stamp of approval, the Life of
malor the Life of Danny G. So I talk about
what happens and then nothing too exciting happened. Of course
you could argue nothing ever that exciting happens kind of
the day to day, but that's most of life. It's
just the day to day stuff. That's kind of how
(01:55):
you live your life, right. You have a few big
events mixed in. Then you kind of call it a
day and you look at your scorecard and see how
you did when you're ready to check out. But in
the last since we last talked, kind of quiet. Wife
was working. She's been working a lot of extra shifts
at the police station. She's a nine to one to
one operator, so she was doing that, and I take
(02:17):
care of stuff around the house, do some shopping, take
out the trash, that kind of stuff. But I did
end up cooking on Saturday Saturday. Saturday Saturday, I opened
up Benny's pizzeria. Benny's Pizzeria was open for business. Now
on the menu. Here's the menu, Danny, I want to
see if you approved the menu. I had breadsticks, but
(02:40):
not just breadsticks, a rip off version of the round
Table garlic parmesan breadsticks.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You ever had those?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Oh, yes, I have.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That is the Let me tell you something that is
food porn.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know what they do with those things at Roundtable,
but my god, you get that a little marina on
the side.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh heaven, heaven, it's a meal in itself. It is,
it is.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And if if Roundtable didn't cost nine hundred dollars for
a pie, I might go back there. But instead I
just make ripoff versions. So I made this Roundtable garlic
palmers on breadstick plate. And if you've never been to
Round Table, which I think is only on the West coast,
r it's a northern California place.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think it's only kind of in the West. I
don't think it's a national chain.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
But it's really good and cheesy, loaded with garlic goodness.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So I made that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That was the appetizer, and then I made not one,
but two authentic original mallard pies from the old Country,
which is not really the Old Country, because you know,
I came up with the recie, but.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's just what I like. So what is a mallard pie?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
If you've not heard before, Well, this was actually on
the menu Danny in Michigan, Grand Rapids, Michigan, home of
Floyd Mayweather and his family, if I remember correctly, there
was a a pizzaia like a bar pizzeria that put
this on the menu. Then they took it off the menu,
but it was on the menu. So a malard pie,
(04:09):
it's it's And I made two of these, so large pizza.
You got the dough and all that thinly cut onion.
So I use a mandolin to cut the the onion
ridiculously thin, as thin as I can possibly get the onion.
I then put bell pepper, chopped the bell up, put
(04:30):
that all over, put a bunch of garlic on top
to keep the vampires away.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Put a mound of mozzarella all over that bad boys the.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Tomato sauce, and then you put the mozzarella on top
and put some other cheeses. Mix the cheeses up a
wonderful medley of cheeses, and it's a little slice of paradise.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I did this all, you know, just on Saturday. I
spent a lot time putting this thing together, and I
had to time it. See that the time for me
is the timing thing. Because the wife was at work,
she was on her way home, so I wanted to
line it up, and so I was a little off
on the timing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
She got there. My father in law stopped by.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And he joined us because his stepdaughter had a baby
in North Carolina, so everything's kind of messed up. He's
been spending time in North Carolina, spending time in California,
where he lives, and so he came over to have
a home cooked meal and aye of that. And I'm
happy to report, Danny, that I did pick up the
(05:40):
father in law seal of approval.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was all concerned because this is the pizza I like.
You know, when you make food that you like, You're like, I.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Don't know that anyone wants onion and bell pepper and
garlic on their pizza. Maybe they want, you know, classic
sausage of the pepperoni or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And this is what I got. But he did like it.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He gave me the seal of approval and took confirmed
that he did like it. We had a bunch of
left I made too much food, so we had a
bunch of leftover pizza and breadsticks. Actually the bread sticks
went pretty quick. There was leftover pizza, and so he
took a bag of pizza.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well yeah, that's when you ask for some tinfoil.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, yeah, so he took some. He took some pizza,
and then I was like, well, maybe he's just being polite.
Part of me is like, well, maybe he's just being polite.
You know, I don't want to be a dick, and
he wants me to think that he likes the pizza.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know, I like the pizza or whatever he likes it.
So I was kind of rolling over that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But the next day I got a text and he said, hey,
I loved it. Tastes just as good the second day,
and so I was like, there you go. I got evidence,
mission accomplished, and so I was. I was happy about this,
but these round table garlic palmers on breadsticks, this ripoff version,
Oh man, it's the way to go. I don't think
(06:56):
you can get that in Viva Las Vegas, Dandy. I
don't know that you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, maybe you can't. You can get just about
anything you want in Vegas, but I've never seen that.
Is there a round table in Vegas?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They got a bunch of other pizza places there, so
who knows.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You have a bunch of different spots. They're like Slice,
which I saw at the Mandalay Bay as you walk
into the Luxelre.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It was a great NBA con, the very first one
that they tried. In their mind, I think they wanted
to kind of be like a comic con, but for
basketball nerds. There were all kinds of vendors and fashion
like NBA fashion there.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How much did it cost to get into NBA Con?
How are they charging?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I think it was thirty dollars for kids for kids,
in fifty for adults, I believe.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, But in Vegas that's you know, it's not too
horrible because there was a sneaker con thing going on
right next door, which was even more expensive. And then
of course the cigar weekend was going on there where
all these old, these old NBA looking dudes were in
line for cigars.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The villivily quiet, you.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Know, Las Vegas, it's very, very expensive, but I think
inside there they had enough stuff going on for the
kids where when my son gets old enough, I would
bring them to something like this, because instead of a
skate park inside this massive convention center connected to Vandali Pay,
it was a basketball park. So they had all these
(08:32):
things that looked like Disneyland, created these basketball hoop trees
with basketball hoops all the way around in a three sixty.
Kids could slam, dunk, fall, bounce off the tarp and
it was really really cool. Man. There was even little
toddlers running around. It was basketball heaven for little kids.
(08:56):
And then you go to the middle and there was
like a huge basketball am was on store where you
could order exclusive NBA gear and they ship it right
to you so that you don't have to lug it
around with you all weekend. So they had some cool concepts,
some good ideas. They had a big stage where they
had live performers, and that's also the stage where Adam
(09:18):
Silver got up there and made his weird announcement about
the in season tournament.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
The highlight though, was Dominique Wilkins on our set. We
got to interview him former clipper. Yeah, former clipper, although
he said in the interview, he'd like to forget those years.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, it's it's true.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
When he was traded for Danny Manning, I was covering
the team at the time, and he was like a
sad puppy dog, like a Bassett hound. You know, he
was so depressed. He was so so depressed playing for
the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
What is still wrong with the Clippers? They were terrible
in those days.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
At the play the Mausoleum Sports Arena, it was brilliant.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, had it been the Bomber Clippers, he would have,
you know, blended in better with a Blake Griffin and
a Lob City. But yeah, back then it was a
sad situation for him.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And now, at one point Dominique for those that are
of not of the age, like Dominique Wilkins played in
the eighties, but at one point he was neck and
neck with Michael Jordan, like they were they were the
two great dunkers, dom Jordan, and then it's like they
were even and all of a sudden, Jordan like took off.
(10:33):
But for a while, Dominique Wilkins was considered the same
player as Jordan, and you know, very similar similar guy
as far as a dunking guy and a high flyer
and all that, and then Jordan.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Took it to the next level.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
He even was runner up to Jordan's scoring title. Yeah, man,
a lot of people they asked him that too. They said, Hey,
when you google Dominique Wilkins, one of the first things
that comes up said why is he so underrated? He said,
he thinks it's because he didn't play alongside another genuine superstar.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's a shot at doc rivers. That's a shot who.
I think the show was old HOWK John Contact.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I think was in Atlanta, a split web free rawlins right, Yes, yeah,
some of those old HOWK players back of the day.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
That's very nice guy. It was really cool and he
stayed for like an extra fifteen twenty minutes after the
interview to take pictures with everybody that was there. It
was like a live audience setting of wordless Mic where
they did Q and A with Covino and Rich and
some of the people that showed up. So it was
really that was cool that all went very smooth and
(11:45):
our bosses were happy. H There was lots of excitement
around the iHeart stage. Now interviews over, we pack up,
I clean the stage, up for the next show that's
going to go on, and I have to go to
the bathroom really bad. I've been holding number one and
(12:06):
I'm like, I gotta get to the restroom. So I'm
asking people where are the restrooms here? And somebody an
intended pointing me all the way to the back of
the convention center, and so I'm doing that Indian dance,
racist except politically incorrect.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Just go for it. Why not?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I did the Indian dance all the way to the
back of the convention center. Yeah, and I find the restroom.
When I come out, there's all the there's all these
kids jumping up and down, super excited, and there's a
few mean security guards saying step back, step back, and
I'm like, what's going on here? So I get my
camera out, like they all had their cameras out. I
(12:49):
don't even know what's going on, but I became part
of the crowd. There comes Isaiah Thomas walking through and
he's given us high fives and he's doing his Isaiah smile,
and I'm like, well, that's cool. And then moments later,
a giraffe enters the building. Who is it this Wembanyama kid? Seriously,
(13:11):
when he walks through a crowd. It looks like a
giraffe at a zoo.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But he's seven five.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
They said, holy shit, I guess like seven to seven
and his sneakers. I've never seen a human being that
tall in my life. This guy would make you look
like Arnold West. I can't. Would you talk about Mallard?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, well, you know, but he's not the thing about
I've seen him like he's very scrawny, like he's say,
he's got to fill out. But like the two biggest
human beings I've ever seen in my life were both
basketball players.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It was George Mirrasan who was in it.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
That guy was huge.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
He was in a movie with Billy Crystal and the
other one is Yao Ming and I guess Shaq would
be on there as well, but Yao Ming and George.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Mirras On were monsters, so Shack was also put.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, but this guy is so skinny, though, do you
think he might be able to break him like a draft,
you know, the legs on a draft.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, that's why when we were on the air, I said,
I don't care what he says about skinny up or whatever.
He's got to put some muscle on. Whether that's fifteen
to twenty pounds. He's got to put something on because
if I'm an NBA coach, I'm telling my players, hey,
rough him up. He's definitely a skinny dude, and I
think you could probably push him around the court if
(14:33):
you wanted to play physical like that.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, he's like a piece of straw. And then the
guy in Oklahoma City who missed last year. I forget
the kid's name from. Was he Gonzaga. He's also built
like that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, it's like they remind me of here's an outdated reference.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
But why not a Minute Bowl? When I started as
a radio report, Minute was still playing. He was playing
for the Golden State Wars and they had him shoot
three point shots.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
The guy seven to seven minute Bowl?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
How about an early Kevin Durant.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, Durant was Spindley he was also but yeah or not.
Minootpole never filled out like Mark Eaton, who I think
he passed away copters. But he was a giant man too.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
For the Utah Jazz there.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Were a lot of massive Kevin Duckworth who's also dead,
but he was massive.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He played with the Clippers at the end of his career.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Oh, speaking of Clippers. I saved the best for last
four year.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Right. Here we go, Here, we go here.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
When we first entered the convention Center on day one,
we noticed the NBA mascots right away, Slamson the Lion
and Chuck the Condor, who we talked about a lot
on your live radio show Overnights Trash. He even had
his own sound effects. Yeah, you know, he's a star.
(15:52):
And they had a charity basketball court in the center
of the convention Center where they were raising money and
giving away prizes, and they were like firing off T
shirts and there were certain like players shooting three pointers
to raise money and stuff like that going on with
an MC yelling and screaming into the microphone.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So in dancing ooh drizzle.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So we're watching a little bit of this and Slamson
comes up and he snaps a quick picture with Covino
and Rich. I see Chuck out of the corner of
my eye.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now full disclosure stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Slamson is the King's mascot right right right, the Lion.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Okay, Sacramento's finest. Yeah, okay, So out of the corner
of my eye, I see Chuck the Condor, and I
tell cn R I'm like, you got to get a
picture with Chuck.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is this like seeing Jesus? Is this as very similar?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Very close?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
So we I mean people were getting pushed over. It
was much like the scene when Wemby, when I mean
kids and adults were pushing each other over. Same thing
with Chuck the Condor.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You got mascot loyalty and with apologies to Benny the
Bull and Lucky the Leprechaun and all that, this is
Chuck the Efen Condor, okay, and the gorilla in Phoenix
and all that. I'm sorry you got the Condor?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
What what?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
What?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Just like that, So he he's nice enough to take
a selfie with Covino and Rich. I'm wearing my Kobe jersey,
and Rich points to me, trying to start trouble as usual,
and he's like, take a picture with a Kobe fan here,
And so Chuck immediately does his karate kid crane stance
(17:37):
like he's gonna kick me in the face.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, that's my man, Chuck. There, violent mascot, Chuck the Condor.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I square up and I get my hand like I'm
gonna punch him in his two can sam nose. And
then they said the magic words they said, take one
picture for Ben Mallard, who Ben Mallard came out of
Rich Davis's mouth. Chuck the Condor's head was shaking up
and down, like just do it, do it.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's my mascot, that's my guy, the great Chuck the Condor.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Come on now.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
So, as you know, these these mascots are not allowed
to talk. But the way he reacted to hearing Ben Mahller,
you know that you are on an even higher level
than Clipper Darryl.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Well, that's a I'm flattered and I'm smiling. I have
a chess Shire cat smiled, Danny. I'm so happy from
here to here now. I was at Chuck the Condor's
birthday party a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Loser that was like mascot porn?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Was that because it was the same thing because they
was Chuck the Condor. They had all these other random
mascots and it was awesome. But I got I got
photo with Chuck and the person that took the photo
he botched a lot of the photos. So I got
to go back to another mascot party. So would you
rate this, Danny, I've only been to the NFL experience obviously,
this was new NBA con Is it NBA on better
(19:00):
than the NFL experience?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The NFL experience is like a lot of.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
It's very similar, but it's not as polished. So I'm
going to say it's going to take another year or
two of them working out the kinks to get it
to roll as smooth as an NFL experience.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, the NFL has been doing that for thirty years.
So in the end, I wanted to think the NBA
hired the same people that put the NFL thing together, like, hey,
can you help us out here?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Possibly because it looked very similar.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, there's there's likely a kind of a map or
a framework that you got to use. And Baseball does
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
They have their All Star fan fest that they had
in Seattle this week, so you know, why not there.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You go knock yourself out.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
So you make the call. Used to love these, you
make the call. We'll make this quick. So got back
from the gym this week, was walking in the kitchen
get some water after I'd done my time on the treadmill.
I took a wrong step. Now you make the call
on what happened. This is multiple choice A. Did I
(20:13):
step on bella poopy. B. Did I trip and hurt
my toe on the side of a table. C I
sliced my foot open with a gusher of blood on
a piece of glass, or D none of the above.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You make the call.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I'm gonna say that you hurt your toe, you kicked
the side of it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You think you're going with B that I tripped on
I hit the table with my toe. The correct answer
reveal answers is C dand it was actually see, I
was walking barefoot after I took my shoes off. That
got all my sweaty clothes off. So I was going
to get some water and I'm walking through the kitchen
(21:02):
and my my wife.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Of course I was barefoot.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
My wife had dropped a bottle of I think it
was avocado oil, and this thing shattered. This was like
a few days earlier, and so she thought she had
gotten all the pieces of glass. Oiler alert, got a
giant shard of glass right in my underneath my right foot,
(21:27):
you know. And so I'm like, you know, you step
on my feet are pretty you know, I walk barefoot
a lot. So I have a lot of scar tissue
on my feet and a lot of callous or whatever.
They're not the most aesthetically pleasing feet.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
It happens.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So I'm I'm like, you step on it and you
know you've just it doesn't feel right. You're like, oh boy,
it didn't hurt that much. But then I picked my
foot up and I saw a puddle of blood and
I was like, well, that's not good.
