Summary

"Long gone as a matter of fact. That's how life works." Greg Cote regales us with stories about The Lone Ranger as we learn whether his sidekick, Tonto, was actually Native American.

Zaz, you've been doing this for a long time.

0:25.8

Really long, yeah.

0:26.4

You're a basketball expert. I don't know how the daily loud-mouthing goes for you in terms of regret.

0:34.0

But do you feel like you already owe the NBA, not just the Lakers, but the NBA an apology? I don't know why you're saying that. And this isn't the first time where it's apologize, say or sorry. That's what we have to do. If you think something's going to happen, that's how sports is. Okay, so, but are you embarrassed? So you're not embarrassed, though, because you had very strong... Okay, that's a better question. Well, thank you for correcting me when you've been wrong on everything you've said about basketball. But I'm apologizing. Who am I apologizing to? The fans. For what? For what? For what? You said the NBA first rounds of dud. You said that a couple days ago. And they certainly haven't been. That's very fair. Thank you. Okay. You ought to be saying, hi-o-silver. The first couple days were a dud. The last couple days have been good. Was that a lone ranger joke? Yes. Did you just... It fit like a glove. For Adam Silver, you just... Do you guys know the joke that he was just making there? Do you guys have... I just want to have a reference point for... I have not heard the Lone Ranger joked about in a while. Tonto. I'm not going to lie. I know the phrase, Hi, ho, silver. Oh, way, but I don't know what it's from. So you're teaching me. Yeah, Zaz has been an active and open Adam Silver critic. So now he ought to be shouting high oh silver on a bended knee as far as I'm concerned. Why? What is Adam Silver getting credit for? Why would he be doing it on a bent knee? Because, you know, he's on a bent knee, not Adam Silver. When you're saying high, where you're saying, Hio Silver, is that a command for a horse? Yes, silver was his horse. High O' Silver away. He's exhorting his horse. He didn't use a whip. He could communicate with his horse. You know, that's the way it worked back then. I wish they did that now. Yeah, they should. Hey, come on. Like jockeys on race horses. Instead of a whip, they ought to be going, high-oh, silver, away. When do you think we lost that ability to commute that way?

2:53.7

I don't know. The car? The wagon? It could be. I don't know about that. I saw a guy on the highway this morning slapping his car. It was weird. That is weird. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to tell us anything more about the Lone Ranger? It was... One of my earliest memories. I don't even know when it was on TV, black and white goes without saying.

2:51.9

But Anything more about the Lone Ranger? It was... One of my earliest memories. I don't even know when it was on TV.

2:53.6

Black and white goes without saying.

2:58.1

But I remember, and Tonto, you couldn't get away with this now.

3:02.3

His sidekick was an American Indian man named Tonto.

3:06.7

You couldn't get away with having a Native American on the show. No, not made up like Tonto was. Yeah, I think the word Tonto means dumb, doesn't it? I have no idea. But he had face paint and things that were. Was he Native American? Do we know if he was actually Native American? That other guy was Italian, right? Who played Tonto? I don't know that.

3:24.6

The Crying Indian, is that what it was?

3:26.3

Yeah.

3:27.7

Well, there's Italian cowboys.

3:29.6

The other guy, the crying Indian, was that a national commercial or was that a local commercial?

3:35.2

PSA for littering.

3:36.8

Oh, yeah.

3:37.3

But he was Italian.

3:39.6

So the Native American who was weeping in a litter commercial was Italian.
