1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The rex was

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: not chasing the jeep.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 3: Murray, Murray, you there.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: You love sandwiches. Huh, Let's go to eighty.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: It was bo.

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Wow that Prime Time. Maybe I had a crush on

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Betty Rubbell. I honestly, until after the segment ended and

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: we went to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: Coachman was black. He caught them the game last night,

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: although they won the game. You're listening to to Godsend Company.

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: This is a real treat super Bowl Week Radio Row.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: Now he's not here, he's joining us on the phone.

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: And Chris Berman is with us right now. What a

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: treat for us. Headed up to the super Bowl. Before

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: we started, Chris greeted me by saying, happy super Bowl,

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: Like at the national holiday.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: It should be a national holiday, Chris, right, Well it is.

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, to ask all the bosses on

20
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Monday morning when everyone's sick. But you know, at any rate,

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: it's great. I mean it's it's in the way, whether

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: it's been for so much of the country. Everyone needs

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: a national holiday. I mean it's a gathering point and

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: it's allowed you and I to gather, regather, if that's

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: a word. After all these years.

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Chris, if I told you way back when when you

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: got started in our industry that the NFL would turn

28
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: into this in twenty twenty six, you would have told

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: me what.

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Well, I could have seen some of it. I don't

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: mean like I'm that smart. I mean this is, you know,

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: through the roof, obviously crazy. But the Super Bowl when

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: I first covered it, you know, or already I know,

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one, a lot of your listeners weren't even born.

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know, that was my first

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: one at age twenty six. It was actually the Niners

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: first one, you know, kind of was when the football

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: made one of its many left hand turns, at least

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: on the field, right, So already that was a big thing.

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: But I mean it was ten years plus till we

41
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: had Michael Jackson at halftime, which is not the reason

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: the game is so huge, but I mean that was,

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Oh so we're doing that now as well as the

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you know, and and they had had international

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: coverage of it, but not, hey, we're going to have

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: a game in our country, so can we cover the

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowls? I mean, oh, there's so many parts of

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: it that we wouldn't have known. But by the eighties,

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: by the time the ESPN and it was sending me

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: as a young turk, really cover these things. You know,

51
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: the NFL had already become kind of the lead sport.

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: And that's not the knock baseball. You and I both

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: love it obviously, so it's it's look, but it's something

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: everybody starts to look forward to in you pick the month,

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: at the draft, at the schedule for any camps, like

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: this isn't oh two weeks now we have a football game.

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: It's a holiday, that's right. I got to go out

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: and get Valentine's cards, you know, like like that type

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: of thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, We've we've

60
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: been waiting for it all year.

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: Yes, hey, Chris, this is Taylor. First off, just you're

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: a legend in this field.

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: He knows that. Yes, I don't know that, but go ahead,

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: thank you, Taylor.

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: My question for you is, you have so many great

66
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: catchphrases when you're out in public. What's the one that

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: you get the most.

68
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question actually, because it used to

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: be when I was on all the time every day.

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, and with a semi retired like now, and

71
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: I was doing baseball and even doing donf although that

72
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be it, but of course always doing football. If

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I was going to an airport and I forgot, like, okay,

74
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: is this April? And what month is this? You know

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: we've all listened. I'm seventy now, don't ask me what

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: I had for breakfast. Okay, so I think it was

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: an omelet. But but let me get back to you.

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: My point is, if it's a baseball season and I

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: was doing it a lot, then April, let me I

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: hear back bank bank bank, bank, bank, you know, and

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: then that I behind the post, right and then and okay,

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: but then it's football season and I get, you know,

83
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: he could go all the way. But the shorter ones,

84
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: now like every list, still get asked all the time

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: saying there ate you know, or I get no one

86
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: circles the wagons, even if the people aren't from Buffalo.

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: And of course the one that I get from the

88
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: younger that I never anticipated is because everybody could say, right,

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: you're walking this that, and everybody's laughing. Everybody has a

90
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: smile on their faces if they only knew it came

91
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: from Curly the Three Stooges. Is that for real? Is

92
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: that where you got it from? Chris? That's a true story.

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: I did it, still got four. I started doing it

94
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: for Barry Sanders. That was the first guy I did

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: it for on highlights, you know, because his ankle says,

96
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: we all know we're bionic, right, so, I mean, and

97
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: he would make guys like but then guy would be

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: foundering around. Now. I'll use it a lot for whatever reason,

99
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: the younger. It just so there's not one in particular,

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: but it does help me remember what month of the

101
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: year I'm in a little bit, which is a scary

102
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: admission that I just made on national radio.

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: Of Chris, are you telling me that people in airports

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: would give you a back back back and then hide

105
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: behind the polls somewhere.

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: No, not hide, they were nervous, but oh my kind

107
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe I bothered him at them being nice

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: and not really hide. You know. But look, you know

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: what it is. It's not all I'm funny in this

110
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: because the catch phrases, not that we have the time

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: to go into it, but they were never done so

112
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I'd be noticed. I mean, people could write whatever they want, well,

113
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: but they weren't there when I was doing it. A

114
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: lot of them like nicknames, even they're organic, like they

115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: came out. It was an accident. If you try to

116
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: be noted by doing something other than trying to make

117
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: good points and do our jobs really well and entertain

118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: people or and also make them think and you know

119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: this and disagree there whatever, that's fine. But if you're

120
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: trying to do it away also can be a comedian

121
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: or a singer or you know, pick whatever you want

122
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: to say. Sure, that doesn't work in our business. If

123
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: you're if you're anything other than yourself, ninety five percent

124
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: of the time, right, no good. So so what it

125
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: says is, hey, people of all ages still enjoy. At

126
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: least these ones enjoy what I've done and what ESPN's done.

127
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: I really feel that way. When I walk through. I

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't look for it. I don't wave my

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: arms around. I'm okay, who's next, let's say on the

130
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: radar's you know. I keep walking, but but often I'll

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: stop and say thank you because you feel the same way.

132
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: You've been on the radio a long time. Absolutely, if

133
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: people weren't out there, we wouldn't have a job.

134
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly grateful for it. You're right, I've always wondered, Chris,

135
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: is there something It's such an amazing resume, But I've

136
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: always wanted to ask you, this, is there something on

137
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: that amazing resume that you are proud of st of.

138
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Proudest stuff. Well, still got two different not two different

139
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: answers the overall biggest thing and you probably agree with this, uh,

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL primetime you know, because that's yes, the

141
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: fact that we still get to do it. I said

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: a long time ago when they put my professional tombstone,

143
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: not my you know, my personal but you know, Chris

144
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Berman nineteen fifty five to whenever, whatever day you want

145
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: to put on a heated NFL primetime you know, with

146
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Tom Jackson now Booger, I mean because it it had

147
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: an impact much larger than we ever sawt and ever dreamed.

148
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: And the fact that people tell me that to this day,

149
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: I've become a football fan because of that show. Really,

150
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: back in those days, I don't have all day Sunday

151
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: or and I shouldn't say it's all women, you know,

152
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: like but my boyfriend or my husband and thistrict. But

153
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you look, I didn't have a

154
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: great relationship with my dad. I got many of these letters,

155
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: but that was one hour a week I spent with him.

156
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like that's larger than Hey, we did

157
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: a funny highlight, you know what I mean? So yes,

158
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: that mean yes, from the eighties into now. But the

159
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: other part of your answer, the answer would be the

160
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: one thing was baseball was the night caw Rippn pasted

161
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Luke Garrett on September sixth, nineteen ninety five for most

162
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: consecutive games played. I happened to be the voice that night,

163
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: only it was Wednesday night, and that was the game

164
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: I did with Buck Martinez. And you know, fourteen and

165
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: a half years of never calling him sick and the

166
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: iron horse Luke Garrett, we all remember that, right, And

167
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: we were so so up and crying out of happiness

168
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: that we were smart enough to not speak for twenty

169
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: three minutes, which is not the reason I'm saying, you know,

170
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: that's why. It just it was a night of bigger

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: than baseball, bigger than cal And Joe DiMaggio was there

172
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: representing lou Garry. Hello, Yes, And when he looked up

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: at the sky on the mic after and said, my

174
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: teammate Luke Garry getting guarantee is looking down and applauding,

175
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: like whoaahoa. That's pretty deep, right. And President Clinton came

176
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: in the booth at the time, I had never met

177
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: him before. He did what we knew he was coming,

178
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: did an enning with us. He's a baseball fan and

179
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: so that was unreal and it was just a night

180
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: from America. I mean, I could go on. So that's

181
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: the one thing the primetime would be the broad brush

182
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: And I figured you'd agree on that part.

183
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: I agree on with both of yours. You still get

184
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: emotional talk emotional talking about that, Chris.

185
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: Huh, I do I do, because it was it just

186
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: you know, we had we Cal they Orioles did a

187
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: very nice thirty year remembering some of it this year

188
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: is on a Saturday night right before the start of

189
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: the season, and Cal called listen. We wanted a lot

190
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: of the people that were involved with it to come back,

191
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of his teammates, and they didn't

192
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: overdo it, typical Baltimore, like, really well done. And I

193
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: was just honored. So I kind of and not relived it,

194
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: but I just kind of have it in my blood.

195
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: Hadn't been canned in yards in ten twelve years. I

196
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: don't do the baseball anymore. I love it, don't get

197
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: me wrong, but so can't do it all right, You

198
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: can't chocolate ice cream every meal. You know, we're seventy

199
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: so so we got to relive it, not only with

200
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: cow and his family and you know, his son, I've

201
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: got to know, and and just being in there and

202
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: soaking it in. And so it was a reminder that's

203
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: only a few months ago at how special a night.

204
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: That was, Chris, When you were getting started with how

205
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 3: different and authentic your style of broadcasting is. Did you

206
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: ever get any pushback to that from from higher ups,

207
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: being like, no state more in line?

208
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: Good question, Well, yes, but not really. So I was

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: a product a product, not a product of but because

210
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: we you know, ESPN is an entity, we were we

211
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: weren't faking it, but we were, you know we we

212
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: weren't Walter Cronkite doing the news at the time. I mean,

213
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: I date myself done. But this is seventy nine, right,

214
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: eighty eighty one, eighty two, so sports Center was kind

215
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: of evolving. There was no rule book on this is

216
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: how you have to do it. You know, it was

217
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: thirty minutes on sports when night, you know, the network

218
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: news is thirty minutes and they cover the whole universe,

219
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: you know. So it was a kids and we were

220
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: in all twenty four and twenty five and twenty six.

221
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: We weren't all kids in a candy store, but we were. Yeah,

222
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: we were like young parents, like we were, you know,

223
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: we we thought our parents had have figured out that

224
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: when we become parents who realized they had no clue either.

225
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: So we were rebels without a clue, I like to say,

226
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: but rebels doing it like a good way. There wasn't slapstick,

227
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: weren't embarrassing, and so therefore we were we as a

228
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: network were organic and no cable wasn't everywhere early even

229
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: though you know, if you're going out threes and four

230
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: letter words, we would have off the air, I mean,

231
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: or are you know? I would have been off the

232
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: air if that was my stick trying to be you

233
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: know that, which it wouldn't. But my shows the first

234
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: three or four years, almost primarily were the two thirty am, Eastern,

235
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: eleven thirty West Coast, nine thirty Hawaii. Very important to

236
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: say that, but except we don't change our clocks. So

237
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: eight thirty in the summer, but can get the point.

238
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: And so I'm on two thirty in the morning. The

239
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: boss wasn't up watching now Yes, the chest was starting

240
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to be Yes, he could have. Chet Simmons and Scottie

241
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Connell were our first two guys that ran it. Bill

242
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Restnols and founded it, but invented it. And I know

243
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: a couple of people went to Chet and you know,

244
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: our late night guy. He's not crazy but now And

245
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: he never admitted it to me. Actually, later in his

246
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: life he passed now with a little twinkle in his eye.

247
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: I once asked him a little later on every few

248
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: years i'd see him, and I didn't and I didn't

249
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: say nothing. I said, Chet, and I know some people

250
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: must have come to you and go, you know late

251
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: I guy, what do you think? And I said, and

252
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: I have the feeling you told him leave him alone.

253
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: He's figuring it out. When he embarrasses us, we'll know

254
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: about it. But tell them to leave him alone. And

255
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: the last couple of times I saw him, there was

256
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: a twinkle in his eye and a smile, so that

257
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: he never admit it, but I know that you know

258
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: had he said, oh my god, you can't do it.

259
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 3: Like this.

260
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: We're trying to be sports out of the fifties, and

261
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is what we're trying to do and this,

262
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't have said that. I wouldn't have had

263
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: this style. And I've given you a long answer here,

264
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: but that's really truth. I hadn't thought about that in

265
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: a while. Beis these good questions. You know, he's good rage.

266
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: Let's not go that far, Chris.

267
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm going Okay, Chris, Now I'm going to keep going.

268
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: I got time, go ahead, Okay.

269
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: Good Now, I'm going to he check. Since you just

270
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: gave me that compliment, I wanted to give you a

271
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: suggestion for a nickname. I played football at Carolina.

272
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Go for it because in the day I'd get lists

273
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: of fifties, sometimes one hundred, and if I read them

274
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: and I laughed at one of them, it was on

275
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the air. So go for it. I like having to

276
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: go for records.

277
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: But so, my roommate at Carolina was Mac Hollins. So

278
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to pretend Mac Collins scores a touchdown in

279
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: this Super Bowl for the PA pull up to the

280
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: drive through order, the number one, the big maccollins.

281
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Jeez, that's a lot to squeeze in, but it is

282
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: it's not at all. Chris. Yes, when you do nicknames

283
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: like that under highlights, you have time. But I would

284
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: think of something with him Barefoot. I would have to

285
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: come up with. Barefoot in the Park was a Broadway

286
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: show a long time ago. I have to do something.

287
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: But Big Mac, I mean, why not? He could score

288
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Right, that's very cool your roommate.

289
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: Huh maybe returning back too?

290
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, return of the back? Get out of here.

291
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: What is the nickname you're proudest of? Is it a

292
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: Burpie Home by eleven? Because that's my favorite?

293
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Chris? Absolutely, you know why. I mean I have over

294
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: a thousand, I guess right, And I mean, you know,

295
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: obviously eighties players haven't played for a long time. Although

296
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, I will run into pre McGriff, you know,

297
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and friend, and I knew him when

298
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: he started and this and that, and you know I'm

299
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: not the only one that will call him dog, you

300
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: know like that that stuck like in real life, you know,

301
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: So dog, I mean wheels around, you know, and I

302
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't used that since he played. You know,

303
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: Heyday was the ninety right, so it's funny when they

304
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: when they stick beyond like I just heard recently one

305
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: of my and the answer is Burke beyond by eleven.

306
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: I'll give you reason why. But I heard this recently

307
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: because I was in Charlotte, and so therefore, you know,

308
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: Taylor made a few. And I looked back over my

309
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: years of answers nicknames, right, which course the best one

310
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: one of them? You know, Jake the loone Civil Bowl quarterback,

311
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: Jake Daylight. Come and you've got a the loan you fond?

312
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: So so he said, not to me, but apparently he

313
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: has told everyone, like a lot of his friends now

314
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: call him Daylight, you know, so, which is kind of

315
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: a good nickname, right. It was unintentional, But Burt be

316
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: home by eleven. The reason it works and the reason

317
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: that I think the nicknames were none of them are derogatory,

318
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: and if they are, it's unintentional, and I change him.

319
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: Every kid has heard be home by eleven, and every

320
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: parent has said be home by eleven. You don't have

321
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: to know he had the best curve ball of all time.

322
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: He played for the Minnesota Twins. If he wanted almost

323
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: three hundred year you don't have to know any of it.

324
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: You have to know. Yeah, I get it. What does

325
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: he do again? When it works like that? Then when

326
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: like everyone can get it. A lot of mine are

327
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: rock and roll, a movie food saying, some people might

328
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: not get well, I don't know that song, you know,

329
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: especially since I'm I quote my music, you know, so,

330
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: but Berkeley Home by eleven. I mean there's many others obviously.

331
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean I I only had to change a couple.

332
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Kevin ask member who's an outfielder, remember.

333
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: Him, Yeah, of course, yeah, Astros right, yeah.

334
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Astros primarily played giants and others had had a

335
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: nice career. He came up with a smile on his face,

336
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, Chris, can I talk to you

337
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: a minute? You know at the cage one game out

338
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: of doing and it was okay, but you're not good,

339
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: good good, But yeah, the nickname I don't know. I said,

340
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: what do you mean you don't know? I had Kevin

341
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: Largemouth pass and because it makes me sound like a complainer,

342
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: and I went, okay, now I haven't thought about that,

343
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: and not to be flip very quickly, I was a

344
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: little quicker on my feet back then. I want, well,

345
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: supposing we go with small mouth bass, He goes great,

346
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: go with it. So that was an easy fix. Okay,

347
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: that was an easy one. But anything you guys get,

348
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: send it my way. I mean I read, you read,

349
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes you know, it's not like I go to

350
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I never want to leap with the rosters. You know,

351
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's a rumor start anyway, And you

352
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: know sometimes ten or fifteen seconds you'd look at it

353
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: and it's there, it's not there, or every now and

354
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: then you'd try one on the air, like I remember

355
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: two of them that I realized later when we knew

356
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: who they were, pronunciation was wrong. For example, Tom Glavin

357
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: when he was a September call up. I want to say,

358
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: you know, with the then terrible Atlanta Braves, right whenever

359
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: the year that was right, and I thought it was Glavine,

360
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: like you look at it, it looks like Blayvine, right,

361
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: So I went heard it through the Glavine, which I

362
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: thought was pretty good. But then he's Glavin, So heard

363
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: it through the Glavin. I used it a couple of

364
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: friends like nah, nah, and the other one was golf, yes, right, yeah, yeah,

365
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: the other one was golf. Well. He first arrived on

366
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: the scene, not as a master's champion first, and the

367
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: European golfers. We didn't know them as well, Jose Maria. Oh,

368
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: Elaza ball, right, and but it's al but we didn't

369
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: know that yet. Oh, that's freaking easy two strokes for

370
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: Eliza ball, you know, and which is pretty accurate in golf.

371
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: But then it's it's Almble, you know. So sometimes you

372
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: just don't know. But right, listen, I'm not a fisherman.

373
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys aren't some of your listeners aren't. You

374
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: dropped the line in you.

375
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: Never know what you're gonna get, right, that's a it's

376
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: a great outlook.

377
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:47,199

410
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: I if I told you that Stuart Scott was the greatest, Chris,

411
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: You're certainly in the top three, Okay. But if I

412
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: said Stuart Scott is the greatest Sports Center ranker of

413
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: all time, would I get pushed back from Chris Perbon?

414
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: No, because he was. I'm not worried about who do

415
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: I rank anyway, if I rank you know what I mean? Chris? Ye, well, no, no, no.

416
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: But but but to answer the questions to that is,

417
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: you know, Stuart, I don't want to say it was

418
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: like myself, but you know he was also able to

419
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: be himself and do his thing comfortably. He may have

420
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: gotten I don't mean from the public. You know, he

421
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: certainly got from public more probably pushback than I ever did.

422
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: But then again, by the time he was on We're

423
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: in times ten more homes, you know, you know, so

424
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: that so that might have come with me anyway, Like

425
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: what's the nickname? Crap? Right? So I just want the sports,

426
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: damn it. So So Stuart added life to every show

427
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: and and did it his way, but also knowing still

428
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: as I did, and he and I were very friendly.

429
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: He worked prime time with me a couple of years

430
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: on his way up. It was a showcase for our

431
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: up and coming. We had an unknown person and Robin Roberts.

432
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's done since you did it

433
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: at a prime time, but you know she did some

434
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: chose with me for a year or two. And he

435
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: he did it his way, but not in a some

436
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: might have thought in your face. But the more you

437
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: saw him, the more you realize, hey, that's him. Be

438
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: he's not trying to be in your face. And just

439
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: like me maybe sometimes you know, you kind of had

440
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: too many nicknames or too much comedy tonight. If you

441
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: cut it back twenty percent, it'll seem like you cut

442
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: it back fifty percent for tomorrow and see how that goes.

443
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: Stewart did that too, So I have no problem with

444
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: that because he you know, we haven't had one like

445
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: him before or after. Yeah, he was great. My god,

446
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: we missed him that we miss him. So I'm good.

447
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: As long as I'm in your top ten somewhere.

448
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 2: You're in my top three, Boom, you're in my top

449
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: three well, so.

450
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: Else you you don't have to, but you can actually vote,

451
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: and don't tell me this is I don't want to

452
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: get into Hall of Fame voting here. So I mean,

453
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: you have a few other candidates. I mean I could

454
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: probably name him, but who But this is your fait

455
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: year one.

456
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: So I would go Stewart one.

457
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: I would put you second.

458
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: I would put Dan Patrick third, and probably Keith Olberman

459
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: Fourth's that's where I go.

460
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, thank you? I mean, Look, by

461
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: the way, do you know that Keith was went to

462
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: my high school. He was two years younger than me.

463
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: I've known him since he was fifteen.

464
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: Really I didn't know that.

465
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: Now, Well, that's a scary thought, I understand. Don't get

466
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: me wrong. Keith and I are gray. We love him.

467
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: He's unique.

468
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of unique, for Scott there too, I throw Van

469
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: Pelton there as well.

470
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: I would yeah, well, but he'd be the newer. Not

471
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: that no one knew was as good or better than us.

472
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: But remember, you saw us, and certainly Danny Keith and

473
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: really stud chose the rich, right, Yes, you saw us

474
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: if you watched all of them, which you wouldn't necessarily,

475
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: but ten shows a week, not even like, okay, they're

476
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: on doing a three hour show on Mondays, you know,

477
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: every day. But we were doing ten, sometimes even more

478
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: shows a week, so you needed to be And that's

479
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: no knock on whoever now and they do the same thing,

480
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: but often we had the same partners. I did a

481
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: ton with Tomy's and John Saunders to other fellows that

482
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: we my god, we missed dearly and great friends of mine.

483
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: And you know there are families that remain great friends

484
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: of mine, not by that. And so we were on

485
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: more and you had regular partners, so you knew, you

486
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: knew what meal you were ordering. You just didn't know

487
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: how the chef was going to prepare the field tonight.

488
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Is that fair? And they

489
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: which even if you're looking for someone with Scott and

490
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: you can find he or she, it might be on

491
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: the night, but it might be on a different time tomorrow,

492
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: or might not be on for a week because they're

493
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: out covering this. It was a different world then, so

494
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: we were more in your living room more. We had

495
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: that advantage to make that list.

496
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: I would say, Chris, thank you so much for doing

497
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: this so enjoyable. I could talk to you for hours

498
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: by the way. This is probably I don't know about

499
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: thirty years of the making my first Super Bowl Titans Rams. Yeah,

500
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: Titans Rams Atlanta. You remember that one, right, We were

501
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 2: snowed in for a couple of days after that.

502
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I had no clue what they're do

503
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: with it.

504
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 2: I got to Media Nite. Now, I was producing Hank

505
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: Goldberg Show at the time, and you and Hank were

506
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: very very close, and we miss Hank as well, and

507
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: you were on with Hank often, so I got to

508
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: know you a little bit when you were calling in

509
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: on the hotline to appear with Hank. But I saw

510
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: you at Media Nite. I was intimidated.

511
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: I was young.

512
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: I introduced myself to you, and you said, kid, follow me.

513
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: And I followed you, Chris, and you took me to

514
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: glory and so and by glory, I mean I got

515
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: Kurt Water, Marshall, Falk, Isaac Bruce, Tory, Holt, Orlando Pays,

516
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: and Dick for Meal on the phone with Hank from

517
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: Media Day.

518
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: Because you led me to glory. So I wanted to

519
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Okay, that's very wow, that's very kind.

520
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of remember. I mean, I don't

521
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: expect you to remember it. By the way. Yes, listen,

522
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: first of all, you got me on a bad day.

523
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: I was nice, okay. So second of all, the minute

524
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: any of us and whatever business you're in forget that

525
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: that was us once, well then we have a problem.

526
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: Now there's some days you can't do that right, or

527
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: some days we have a bad day. But the minute

528
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: you forget, hey, that was me once. Yeah, maybe not

529
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: exactly a radio producer, but some kid intimidated, Oh my god,

530
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm what am I doing here? I mean, I hope

531
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay with this. And somebody else gave

532
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: you advice or put an arm around you or what

533
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: have you. And so thank you for that memory.

534
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: You did that for me, and I'm trying to pass

535
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: it along here to Taylor. So that's the deal.

536
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like it. Listen, Yes, we carry the torch,

537
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: but we need people to hand it to. Even if

538
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: we're not totally handing it over. Well, sometimes we need,

539
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, thank the Olympic Torch. You keep it, you know,

540
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: make sure it's still going. So this is long overdue.

541
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: We'll do it again. Enjoyed it? Happy shoot the bowl?

542
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: Have you made your pick?

543
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: I am taking Seattle.

544
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: How about you. I've been on them since like early November. Yeah,

545
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Well, by the way, for both teams,

546
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: not a problem. This is why this game is delicious

547
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. It's just so unlike anything

548
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: A sixty to one on a seventy five to one.

549
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: You know, if you're looking at August odds, right, we

550
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: don't have that, not both so up until maybe middle

551
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: of December, even the later December. That's the average football fan.

552
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: Not great, but good follow it. Name me six Seahawks

553
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: and name me six Patriots.

554
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: I don't think I can three.

555
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: We know the quarterback is yeah, I don't have that

556
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: guy with initials. It's a receiver. Yeah, what is that? Jack?

557
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: Jack Smith? Yeah? And then you know a couple of

558
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: defensive they're really good, but name there I don't know.

559
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: And then the Patriots, well, Drake may is really good,

560
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and then Stephan Diggs of course he's had a nice

561
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: career to name someone on their defense? Uh yeah, but

562
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: they're good. Yeah, am I right? Yes, we're just we're so.

563
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: So what is interesting for me is until Seattle in

564
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game, which some people you know might

565
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: have missed. But you know, one of the many games

566
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: of the year, thirty eight thirty seven with the you

567
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: know when they came from way back and the miracle

568
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: two point conversion and they went for two after Stafford

569
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: led the Rams of the lead. And that's the whole

570
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: reason why Seattle didn't go to Chicago and the cold

571
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams weren't the number one because Seattle went

572
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: for two and made it to a guy Sawburt to

573
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: caught four balls all year, you know what I mean. Yeah, So,

574
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: what all I've read is Seattle, like everyone is saying,

575
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: as if they've known this since September. I don't like it.

576
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: Since I'm picking Seattle only six seventeens is when I

577
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: that's not a negative New England. That's one of those close, close, close,

578
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: Maybe defense scores to put it away late, I don't know.

579
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: But the New England wins, I won't be shocked at all.

580
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: And they love this chip on their shoulder. But everyone

581
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: in Seattle Seattle. But six weeks ago, no one was

582
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: saying Seattle that that's why. Really, well not so much

583
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: except me. But I know what I'm watching in that defense.

584
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: They've they've let me on the inside there and I've

585
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: seen it. I've seen it, and yeah, special, I mean

586
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: not to say that Greg May can't throw a bunch

587
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: of thirty yarders to run, not to say that, you know,

588
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: New England wins twenty to seventeen one of those, you know.

589
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: But and the column will come out tomorrow, which I

590
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: don't write much, but you know I do that, you know,

591
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: and I'll come out tomorrow. But don't you think somewhere

592
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: in there Seattle needs to have a one yard runoff

593
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: tackle for a touchdown. That doesn't have to be to

594
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: win the game, doesn't have to win the game. How

595
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: about any time? I guess it would be Walker right,

596
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: But yes, just run off tackle for one hard and

597
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: we've gone. Then we can play the rest of the game. Okay,

598
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: do it? That is so great. You are great.

599
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate the time. And yes, I would love to

600
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: do this again sometimes soon.

601
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Chris. All Right, guys, enjoy the week.

602
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: Okay, don't use Taylor's terrible nickname.

603
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it to the committee.

604
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: We'll send you some more better ones.

605
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm all yours, go for it. Okay, thank you, sir,

606
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: we appreciate it all right, Thank you so much, Chris
