Speaker 2: working on five oh one. It'll be the Ravens and

Speaker 2: bit later on as well. Phone calls Always welcome. Tyler

Speaker 2: you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around
Speaker 2: the country. Quiet day so far for the NFL openings.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is interviewing with Chicago today. I know that
Speaker 2: that's not a sexy name, but I have to look
Speaker 2: at the resume of the coach coming in. I know
Speaker 2: we can go. Hey, Ben Johnson would be great. Okay,
Speaker 2: you think he would be great as an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: He has been great. He's done a wonderful job with Detroit.
Speaker 2: Running a team is different than being a coordinator. In fact,
Speaker 2: you have to have sort of CEO responsibilities capabilities. I
Speaker 2: don't know if Ben Johnson is that kind of guy,
Speaker 2: but as a coordinator, he's been wonderful. We've seen this
Speaker 2: happen where somebody gets promoted and you're like, all right,
Speaker 2: this is your opportunity. Now you've got to run a team.
Speaker 2: Now you've got to take care of the offense and
Speaker 2: the defense, special teams, the owner, GM, the draft, all
Speaker 2: of this stuff. Whereas before when you're a coordinator, you're
Speaker 2: just like, let me go into my lab here and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I just prep this. This is
Speaker 2: all I got to do. Got to make sure Jared
Speaker 2: Goff is ready to go with the game plan, and
Speaker 2: that's it. I'll leave the press conferences to Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy has been in this job for a long time,
Speaker 2: and as I mentioned, you know, I think it's eleven
Speaker 2: seasons where he's won at least ten games. That's a
Speaker 2: track record here. Now you might say, all right, he
Speaker 2: had good quarterbacks, he should have won more in Green Bay.
Speaker 2: He didn't win the big games. And I know there's
Speaker 2: negatives all around with Mike got a Super Bowl, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the only one one Super Bowl. If I look at
Speaker 2: the list as I did yesterday, the coaches who were
Speaker 2: on that list, of those who have won at least
Speaker 2: ten games in at least eleven seasons, he's up there.
Speaker 2: They're all Hall of famers. You know Schulan, Belichick did
Speaker 2: it twenty times. You know Tom Landry's on there. You
Speaker 2: know there's great coaches on there. I think all of them,
Speaker 2: except for maybe Marty Schottenheimer, are not Hall of Famers.
Speaker 2: I think that's the list that we saw yesterday. So
Speaker 2: the Bears, and once again I want to bring in
Speaker 2: now the Bears are bringing in too many people, like
Speaker 2: they probably have a hard time keeping track of. You know,
Speaker 2: that guy's coming in and that guy's leaving. You imagine
Speaker 2: if you show up in the parking lot and your
Speaker 2: guy like, go, hey, how are you hey, Mike, how
Speaker 2: are you there? I think pretty well, Hey, Pete Carroll, Hey,
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, Hey, good to see you. Good luck. But
Speaker 2: they have to wait for Ben Johnson, and I mean
Speaker 2: the Jets situation as well. Aaron Glenn is he going
Speaker 2: to get that job? I was told that Rex Ryan
Speaker 2: is not getting that job. Rex, Rex keeps my talking trash.
Speaker 2: That is a huge mistake. Wow, a huge mistake. I
Speaker 2: would I would hire Rex Ryan if I'm the Jets,
Speaker 2: I would just purely for the entertainment value of this.
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Jets would be any better,
Speaker 2: but damn would they be entertaining? And he would embrace
Speaker 2: the entertainment right. Robert Sala was trying to like, give
Speaker 2: me your phone, somebody's leaking this information here. Rex would
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, you know what, come on in here,
Speaker 2: all my coaches and employees. We're going to go around
Speaker 2: the room and see who's leaking information. I can make
Speaker 2: it a TV a reality show. Have fun with it.
Speaker 2: Let's go at least make it entertaining. The product on
Speaker 2: the field isn't Rex would make it entertaining. Yes, Yes, done.
Speaker 4: And he recently said he looked forward to beating up
Speaker 4: on coach Rabel twice a year.
Speaker 3: Was a matter of days ago.
Speaker 2: I know, he said beating up on his team, not
Speaker 2: on Mike Bravel, which was a great clarification on his part.
Speaker 2: Huge mistake. Yeah, Rex wants the job, like I don't
Speaker 2: know how many coaches want that situation there. Rex is like, hey,
Speaker 2: I want it. I want to go after these guys. Well,
Speaker 2: let's go hire me. But I think Aaron Glenn is
Speaker 2: probably the guy who gets that job. And he's done
Speaker 2: a great job in Detroit. Once again, you're a great coordinator.
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden, you got to I mean
Speaker 2: you're dealing with all kinds of things, things that you
Speaker 2: never thought you'd be thinking of or have to, you know,
Speaker 2: deal with, and you do because you're the head coach
Speaker 2: of a team. Eight seven seven three DP show. We'll
Speaker 2: get to your phone calls coming up. Let's recap our ones,
Speaker 2: poll question Seaton, and then what are we going to
Speaker 2: go with an hour or two? We got a couple
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 5: Tom Brady being an NFL broadcaster and owner is a
Speaker 5: conflict of interest or no big deal?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 5: Sixty seven percent have that as a conflict of interest.
Speaker 5: We also have up there which fan base would suffer
Speaker 5: more if they lost the Super Bowl? The Buffalo Bill's
Speaker 5: or the Detroit Lions. Bill's running away with that one
Speaker 5: at eighty Yeah, massive.
Speaker 2: I did think that, though, I mean I don't like
Speaker 2: thinking that way, but I did think that if and
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the DraftKings odds of the best super
Speaker 2: Bowl matchups, and the favorite right now is the Chiefs Lions,
Speaker 2: which is obvious. Then followed by the Chiefs Eagles, Raven Lions,
Speaker 2: and then it's the Bills and the Lions. And if
Speaker 2: you were saying I could pick a super Bowl matchup,
Speaker 2: I would say the Bills and the Lions because one
Speaker 2: fan base is going to get a Super Bowl win.
Speaker 2: And I know that the Lions they haven't really done anything,
Speaker 2: haven't been competitive. But like the Cubs in the Indians,
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Indians, they somebody was going to win, long suffering,
Speaker 2: somebody was going to win, and the Chicago Cubs got
Speaker 2: their win. Cleveland is still looking for for it's But
Speaker 2: if you're going to have that matchup, you know, as
Speaker 2: an innocent bystander, that would be the one that I
Speaker 2: think would be wonderful. All right, Poll question for hour
Speaker 2: two is going to be watched.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we actually put up there too, something that's kind
Speaker 5: of funny. What food or drink from your childhood would
Speaker 5: you absolutely not drink now? And then we also have
Speaker 5: with the one that you would drink currently or eat.
Speaker 5: It is a ton a ton of responses but nothing. Really,
Speaker 5: It's all a million different things. Fluffer Nutter is coming
Speaker 5: up a lot as something people absolutely would eat or
Speaker 5: something people absolutely would not eat.
Speaker 2: Let's do would not because I brought this up that
Speaker 2: I went to the shopping a supermarket and I walked
Speaker 2: down the aisle when I saw the Nesley's Strawberry Quick,
Speaker 2: and I said to my wife, I think I want that,
Speaker 2: and she goes, why. I said, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: haven't had forty years. Yes, I said, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna have it. Got up this morning and
Speaker 2: I had a glass, put it in the milk, stirred
Speaker 2: it around, and I said, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have another glass today. I'm feeling crazy. My wife goes, okay,
Speaker 2: So I got Strawberry Quick and I haven't had it
Speaker 2: in forty years. It didn't taste that good. It tasted
Speaker 2: that great, so tomorrow even more Nesley's Quick Strawberry. Is
Speaker 2: there something that you used to drink that there's no
Speaker 2: way you would drink now when you were growing up,
Speaker 2: Like I would say mountain dew, like I I remember,
Speaker 2: you know, you're just basically pouring cavities down your throat.
Speaker 2: There it's like, oh, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: You gotta get peppy.
Speaker 2: You meet me out Todd.
Speaker 4: Now what it's bright green and you could use it
Speaker 4: as a lantern at night, it doesn't matter if for.
Speaker 2: Closing, then you could use it for ana freeze. But
Speaker 2: I remember mountain dew and they're like yeah, and then
Speaker 2: you'd be wired.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paulie, I would say, when I was a kid,
Speaker 6: you had the same thing, Dan and your lunch going
Speaker 6: to school, the plain baloney sandwich, one slice of baloney.
Speaker 6: If someone offered me a blowny sandwich, not good like
Speaker 6: cooked blooney, but that processed stuff, I would completely pass.
Speaker 2: I can't eat blooney sandwiches now. No, like you could
Speaker 2: pile it on and I don't want it. It's like meatloaf.
Speaker 2: Went to a restaurant last night with my wife, No,
Speaker 2: and it had meat loaf and I my wife goes,
Speaker 2: I'm going to get the meat loaf, and I said,
Speaker 2: good because I won't. I'm scarred from my childhood with
Speaker 2: meat loaf. Can't do it, can't do it. See and
Speaker 2: you got something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love meat loaf.
Speaker 2: Did then do to this day?
Speaker 5: And if it was a fried blooney sandwich I would
Speaker 5: crush too easy easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, I've said this before. I swear on
Speaker 2: my mother's life. I could hold up the slice of
Speaker 2: blooney that was on my sandwich when I was going
Speaker 2: to school. You could see through it. It's not funny toime.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Childhood, I was so hungry by one It's terrible.
Speaker 3: But you should have had got you slices.
Speaker 2: At least you got a slice of American cheese. You
Speaker 2: got mustard. My mom would put water in the ketchup
Speaker 2: bottle and swirl it around to make it go long.
Speaker 6: Apart watering down the drink bottles.
Speaker 2: It just it was not good. My parents, God love them,
Speaker 2: they rest in peace. They did their best. But there
Speaker 2: are just certain things where that slice of bologney was
Speaker 2: not a slice. It was like a sliver of bologny,
Speaker 2: but you could see through it. Oh, scarred forever, Marvin.
Speaker 2: You grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth,
Speaker 2: so you probably had anything you.
Speaker 7: Wanted relative to the people in my neighborhood. Yes, for sure,
Speaker 7: Move peasants. Move Hawaiian punch. You can't drink it now,
Speaker 7: I can't. I got Type ten diabetes as a kid.
Speaker 3: No thank you.
Speaker 6: I didn't know there's ten types.
Speaker 2: If there are. Fritzi's had it too.
Speaker 3: And I think my stuff at like four Hawaiian punch.
Speaker 3: I had that a few months ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good.
Speaker 3: Fruits, juicy red about a nice Hawaiian punch.
Speaker 2: No, I remember going to a fraternity party and that
Speaker 2: wine punch and grain alcohol for the kids. You can
Speaker 2: you can imagine how that ended up.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's another thing I won't drink.
Speaker 7: So, I don't know if you guys remember there used
Speaker 7: to be just be a gallon of this thing called drink,
Speaker 7: and it was literally just sugar water in food color.
Speaker 7: So you just get a big gallon of like we
Speaker 7: would call it ghetto juice and it would just be like,
Speaker 7: oh purple. It just be a big gallon of just
Speaker 7: sugar water and food color and that's all. Well, drink it. Yep, Hey,
Speaker 7: get that big red bottle to drink. Okay, ma grab it.
Speaker 7: And it was only like ninety nine cents and you
Speaker 7: get what you pay for.
Speaker 2: So was it was like a less glamorized kool aid?
Speaker 7: Yes, it was a poor version of kool aid. Yes,
Speaker 7: called drink. It had no label on it, no nothing,
Speaker 7: I don't even know.
Speaker 3: There was a brand.
Speaker 2: It was contraband right.
Speaker 7: It was almost like the uh, the imitation frosted Flakes
Speaker 7: with Terry the Tiger.
Speaker 6: He's down on his left brother Terry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and handling Terry the Tiger.
Speaker 2: Welcome to hour two on this Wednesday, we'll talk to

Speaker 4: expensive sushi lunch.

Speaker 4: she was very occupied by other men, and I was,
Speaker 4: you know, just kind of watching a lot of things
Speaker 4: I'd never thought i'd ever see in my lifetime.
Speaker 3: But I ended up chatting it up with.
Speaker 6: Aching women and women.
Speaker 4: It was a very expensive lunch in Santa Monica, and
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden she got a pager and
Speaker 4: she had to go meet somebody in a hotel.

Speaker 2: Bills with Tony Romo coming up in the AFC Divisional
Speaker 2: playoff game, kick off at six thirty Easter and on CBS.
Speaker 2: Hello friend, how are you hello?
Speaker 8: Friend?
Speaker 12: Listen forget about five hundred. I'm excited about five h one.
Speaker 12: All that fanfare behind me, thankfully. It's been a dream
Speaker 12: journey to this point, and they get better every week.
Speaker 12: Buffalo hosting Baltimore this week it's five oh one. I
Speaker 12: can't wait to get there and I'm as always tickle
Speaker 12: to be on with you leading up to it.
Speaker 2: More to gain in your opinion, Josh Allen or Lamar
Speaker 2: Jackson in this.
Speaker 12: Game, and you're going to be talking individual accolades here,
Speaker 12: and I can tell you that knowing both of them
Speaker 12: well enough to know this is all about trying to
Speaker 12: get to the Super Bowl for them. So if you
Speaker 12: say Josh has more to gain, it's only through the
Speaker 12: lens of getting to a super Bowl for him. You
Speaker 12: know he's going to be happy with whatever it takes
Speaker 12: to get there and try to return that franchise for
Speaker 12: the first time in thirty some odd years. But then
Speaker 12: you got Lamaro's had his best year ever doing just
Speaker 12: jaw dropping things as well, but he wants to get
Speaker 12: to a super Bowl. So that's a tough question to
Speaker 12: answer because they both feel like this is the year,
Speaker 12: and I could give you a pretty compelling argument why
Speaker 12: I think either one of them are very capable of
Speaker 12: winning the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 2: What was it like? Who was jim nant? Game number
Speaker 2: one of the five hundred?
Speaker 12: It was Vinnie Testa Verdi and the Tampa Bay Bucks
Speaker 12: at Chris Chandler in the Indianapolis Colts. The great Pat
Speaker 12: Hayden was with me on the call. It was October
Speaker 12: of nineteen eighty eight. I was a studio host for
Speaker 12: our college football's scoreboard show back in those days, the
Speaker 12: Prudential College Football Report. I worked in the studio in
Speaker 12: New York on Saturday, parachuted in for the game on Sunday,
Speaker 12: doing all my production meetings and all of that research
Speaker 12: by phone. I didn't have the full treatment as you
Speaker 12: will on most occasions getting ready for a game. The
Speaker 12: night that I flew in after hosting the studio show
Speaker 12: was a night that Kurt Gibson hit the home run
Speaker 12: in the World Series. And you remember the Jack buck
Speaker 12: call on the home run. I can't believe what I
Speaker 12: just saw. I can't believe what I just saw. Well,
Speaker 12: last week was number five hundred. As I looked back
Speaker 12: at the scope of it all and the good fortune
Speaker 12: I've had to be at so many big games in
Speaker 12: my career, I could truly say, just like it was
Speaker 12: uttered that very first weekend for me.
Speaker 8: I can't believe what I just saw.
Speaker 2: When's the last time you had announcer envy?
Speaker 12: I mean, all the time. You know me well enough
Speaker 12: to know that maybe I'll look at things differently. I
Speaker 12: admire so many people our industry. I know it's a
Speaker 12: competitive business. I've never felt like it from that viewpoint.
Speaker 12: I admire so many people that I hear and listen to.
Speaker 12: I was watching TGL last night and listen to Matt
Speaker 12: Barry calling golf. I knew he's a golf guy. I
Speaker 12: don't know Matt really barely at all, but I was
Speaker 12: admiring what a good job he did. You know, it's
Speaker 12: a tough situation there in a made up environment with
Speaker 12: golf into a simulator. But it's all the time. You know,
Speaker 12: my deep respect for those that came before me and
Speaker 12: you know that like the elder Statesman for me now
Speaker 12: is is Al Michaels. And you know, listening to Al
Speaker 12: do a game last week, I just love hearing his
Speaker 12: cadence's voice. He's been such a magnificent friend in my life,
Speaker 12: someone to look up to and still a kick every
Speaker 12: time I talked to him, which is frequently.
Speaker 8: But the other thing that was brought to light.
Speaker 12: Last week on the five hundred Dan was that and
Speaker 12: CBS has this history with the league where the original
Speaker 12: network partner of the NFL, and go back to the fifties,
Speaker 12: think Alan Amichi, think of that game Giants in the
Speaker 12: Baltimore Folts, and that was you know, Chris Shenko back then.
Speaker 12: But you look at people that actually called games play
Speaker 12: by play at CBS at some point in their careers,
Speaker 12: includes Al Michaels. Al started at Bob Costas was a
Speaker 12: play by play announcer for a year or two before
Speaker 12: he went to DC, but Summer all Lundquist in Bird
Speaker 12: the last ten years of his career. Kirk Goudy ended
Speaker 12: his career at CBS. This is a dangerous game, by
Speaker 12: the way, because you start going through all the Jim
Speaker 12: McKay did games for CBS on the NFL, Jack Whittaker,
Speaker 12: of course, Ray Scott, Frank Difford. I mean it is
Speaker 12: a you know, Dick Stockton. People don't realize he called
Speaker 12: the second most NFL games of all time, had a
Speaker 12: great Hall of Fame career. Frank Glieber again a name
Speaker 12: that's forgotten, but he was a long time number two
Speaker 12: behind Pat. I felt a little bit of I felt
Speaker 12: connected to them. Last week, I was the first to
Speaker 12: reach five hundred games play by play. Now it was surprising.
Speaker 12: Somebody did the research on it.
Speaker 8: Pat.
Speaker 12: Some are all did seven hundred games in his career.
Speaker 12: Some of them were at Fox, most of them were
Speaker 12: at CBS, but some of them were as an analyst.
Speaker 8: When we were young kids.
Speaker 12: So his play by play numbers at CBS never reached
Speaker 12: five hundred, and I just felt honored to take the
Speaker 12: torch and try to run with it instead a new mark,
Speaker 12: and then, you know what, I.
Speaker 8: Had enough of it. It's been discussed.
Speaker 12: I'm honored and plattered given the chance, and I'm ready
Speaker 12: to go do five oh one this week, five oh
Speaker 12: two next week, and put the fanfare behind me and
Speaker 12: go watch some great games.
Speaker 2: Is there an emergency plan? I don't want to jinx
Speaker 2: you guys. An emergency plan if you're not able to
Speaker 2: do the.
Speaker 8: Game at the Super Bowl, there is.
Speaker 12: I've never seen an emergency plan put in place in
Speaker 12: advance of that.
Speaker 8: But we're worrying, Wartz. Those of us.
Speaker 12: Who make are living with our voices. And you know,
Speaker 12: when I've worked as many weeks in a year as
Speaker 12: I have for thirty seven years, I was working coast
Speaker 12: of forty eight weeks a year between college basketball, the NFL,
Speaker 12: and golf. So of course you're going to have your
Speaker 12: battles along the way with a cold or the flu,
Speaker 12: and how are you going to get through it? You know,
Speaker 12: you worry yourself about being around anyone who is sick.
Speaker 12: My little boy and I have a young son, Jamison.
Speaker 12: He had the sniffles last night. He said he had
Speaker 12: a sore throat. I mean, it's just had all the
Speaker 12: guard rails up, still trying to interact, put them to bed,
Speaker 12: say his prayers, sing a nighttime song, and thankfully felt
Speaker 12: better this morning. But I started to do the map
Speaker 12: on it. Two days from now, I could have whatever
Speaker 12: he's starting to come down with, and I'm going to
Speaker 12: go into this weekend compromise, but we we do.
Speaker 8: We do find a way to survive it.
Speaker 12: Anything that's you know, short of laryngitis, we're pretty much
Speaker 12: gonna tough en out. I could hear in Troy Aikman's
Speaker 12: voice the other night. I could hear something was going
Speaker 12: on with him. There was a hoarseness that I know.
Speaker 12: He wasn't one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: He's jim Nantz, the Hall of Famer. He'll be on
Speaker 2: the call five oh one. Don't bring up five hundred
Speaker 2: to him. It's the Ravens and the Bills. The AFC
Speaker 2: Divisional playoffs. Go back to the last time the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl was in New Orleans, and when you first got
Speaker 2: an inkling that there was an issue with the power outage,
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 8: I got a of it to your brother. You come
Speaker 8: up with the best questions. It's just no one, no
Speaker 8: one like you.
Speaker 12: So obviously I'm not ready for that answer if I
Speaker 12: wanted to really give it a thought. But it's just easy, okay.
Speaker 12: I was there with Phil Simms. It was like nine
Speaker 12: thirty eight to go in the third quarter. The Ravens
Speaker 12: had the football at roughly their own forty three yard line,
Speaker 12: and there was a black o handoff, and there was
Speaker 12: a run up the middle, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 12: all my monitors went this black, complete dark, and in
Speaker 12: my headset, I can't hear me finishing the call. I
Speaker 12: was in the middle of a call, so I just
Speaker 12: thought there was a power surge in the booth. But
Speaker 12: you know, right after that, of course, in a millisecon,
Speaker 12: you realize the lights are out, the whole thing's coming down,
Speaker 12: the whole broadcast is probably off the air. I mean
Speaker 12: it took you had to do some quick processing about
Speaker 12: what was happening. So I have no link to the truck.
Speaker 12: I can't hear from the producers. I don't have any
Speaker 12: visual cues. We're all in the dark, figuratively and literally.
Speaker 12: But my cell phone was working, so I called Lance Berrow,
Speaker 12: our producer in the truck, and that was a dumb
Speaker 12: thing to do because he was just as I'm sure
Speaker 12: it is, more in the center of the storm than
Speaker 12: I was. But he didn't pick up. But I was
Speaker 12: trying to just Hey, what's going on? And then I thought,
Speaker 12: let me call Melissa. You guys all know Melissa. She's
Speaker 12: been my chief of staff or quarter of a century.
Speaker 12: And I called her cell phone and said, what in
Speaker 12: the world is happening right now? And she explained that
Speaker 12: we were knocked off the air. You know, you had
Speaker 12: all kinds of really not so good thoughts at that point.
Speaker 12: This is twenty thirteen. You know you're wondering, is it
Speaker 12: a terrorist attack? You hate to even say it, but
Speaker 12: you don't know what it is. And as you know,
Speaker 12: it took thirty five minutes before everything was restored in
Speaker 12: that over out or really what was a compelling game
Speaker 12: right down to the wire. People forget San Francisco had
Speaker 12: four plays inside the ten yard line in the last
Speaker 12: minute to try to win the game. Four incompletions, Kaepernick
Speaker 12: on three of them to Michael Crabtree, all defended and incomplete.
Speaker 12: It was a game that was in the thirties. It
Speaker 12: was a one score game, and no one remembers that.
Speaker 12: All they remember is the night the lights went out
Speaker 12: in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: I also remember Steve Tasker being pressed into service as
Speaker 2: sort of the guy on duty. He was like the
Speaker 2: night watchman and his microphone was working and he kind
Speaker 2: of was hosting the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8: We could not find well.
Speaker 12: First off, the studio show is in one of those
Speaker 12: collapsible sets. That takes four or five minutes to get
Speaker 12: it standing, and and all the crew were hurriedly getting
Speaker 12: into place. But you were looking for someone to be
Speaker 12: able to be on mic and to help carry the moment.
Speaker 12: And Phil and I had no line of communication. We're
Speaker 12: still out and Steve, Steve filled in brilliantly.
Speaker 2: You got paid for a full game, though, didn't you.
Speaker 12: You know I should go back and look at it.
Speaker 12: But can't I tell you a secret. Honestly, I would
Speaker 12: pay to do the game. That's the dirty little secret.
Speaker 12: I could say it now that I've got a long
Speaker 12: term contract, and I'm you know what, I've always been
Speaker 12: forthright about it.
Speaker 8: I would do.
Speaker 2: All of this for free, Romo said.
Speaker 12: I mean, as long as I could have a house
Speaker 12: and be able to provide for my kids and everything.
Speaker 8: It's never what it's about.
Speaker 12: It's about, well, partly, it's about fulfilling a big part
Speaker 12: of it, fulfilling the childhood dream to be a voice,
Speaker 12: not to be the story, but to be the story
Speaker 12: teller and be able to attend these events.
Speaker 8: And you know, it's it's all. It's all a gift.
Speaker 8: It's about legacy too, Dan.
Speaker 12: That's why when I look at happening sometimes in sport.
Speaker 12: Let's take what's going on in golf, and some have
Speaker 12: left the PGA tour. I'm not going to get deeply
Speaker 12: into all that, but you have to make a legacy
Speaker 12: decision at some point. You know, you've been blessed enough
Speaker 12: to be given the chance, and you probably made a
Speaker 12: few bucks along the way. What is it really about
Speaker 12: for you? Well, it's about being able to say that
Speaker 12: you've lived out your dream and this is what you did.
Speaker 12: It's about legacy, and that's how I feel about it
Speaker 12: now that I'm reaching these certain milestones. They come a
Speaker 12: little bit more frequently with long devity.
Speaker 8: That's for sure. These days.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tony Romo get his thoughts. Tony Jim
Speaker 2: says that he would work for free. How about you,
Speaker 2: would you work for free?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, Tony, I'm certainly made enough money all
Speaker 5: this time away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I.
Speaker 5: Can provide for myself in about thirty seven thousand other families.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think I would.
Speaker 12: Okay, it's great to get Tony engaged in the show
Speaker 12: right now.
Speaker 8: He's my guy.
Speaker 2: I love it, tell totally. Now, if Romo can't do it, Seaton,
Speaker 2: I think could be his understudy.
Speaker 6: I don't know what am I gonna do?
Speaker 2: You want to run it here, you want to.
Speaker 6: Be what would you do?
Speaker 8: Date? Why don't you make way up to uh the
Speaker 8: bullpeny by guy?
Speaker 2: I'd love it. I'd love it.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: If you look back, though, can you extract one moment
Speaker 2: that that would stand alone over everything else that you've done.
Speaker 2: When you speak a legacy, one moment, whether it's football, basketball,
Speaker 2: or dolphin.
Speaker 12: You're talking about one event, one game call, or one
Speaker 12: thing that I had be it. Well, the most special
Speaker 12: thing of all will always be April twelfth, nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 8: Nothing it ever topped that for me.
Speaker 12: Well, I get there is one thing I don't get
Speaker 12: to that maybe in a second here, But that was
Speaker 12: when my old dorm sweet mate at the University of
Speaker 12: Houston Bread Couples, won the Masters. We used to have
Speaker 12: these crazy dreams that one day he was going to
Speaker 12: win the Masters. That was all about legacy for him.
Speaker 12: That was his life goal. And of course by this time,
Speaker 12: first day I show up on campus, I make the
Speaker 12: declaration that one day I want to work for CBS,
Speaker 12: Like that's going to happen. Fortunately it did. Blessedly it
Speaker 12: did for me. But his dream was to win the Masters.
Speaker 12: My dream was to one day broadcast the Masters, and
Speaker 12: I also wanted the broadcasts for CBS because I love
Speaker 12: the way they presented the NFL raised on a heavy
Speaker 12: diet of let's say, summer all in Brookshire, summer all
Speaker 12: in Madden. So in our dorm room, you know the story, Dan,
Speaker 12: not every day, but on a couple of occasions, along
Speaker 12: with Blaine McCallister, our great roommate, who had a spectacular career,
Speaker 12: won five times on the tour himself, we used to
Speaker 12: practice the Green Jackets ceremony, just kids make believe, dreaming,
Speaker 12: just imagining somethingy, opening up your mind what that moment
Speaker 12: could be like. And I'm sitting there in a dorm room,
Speaker 12: room one oh one, Tom Hall Taub. It's now been raised,
Speaker 12: but there we are. Fred's sitting across from me, and
Speaker 12: we're doing an imaginary interview. He's just won the Masters,
Speaker 12: and I'm hosting the presentation. So in nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 12: that actually happened, except we weren't in dorm room. We
Speaker 12: were in Butler Cabin and the world was watching. So
Speaker 12: how do you beat that? There's only one way that
Speaker 12: that could ever be better for me, and that is
Speaker 12: that's when my son Jamison wins the Masters and he
Speaker 12: comes in the Butler cabin and I say hello son
Speaker 12: and goodbye friends.
Speaker 8: That will be it. That's the last show not to
Speaker 8: walk off.
Speaker 12: But I mean, that's how outrageous it would have to
Speaker 12: be in a better that moment for me. But other
Speaker 12: than that, listen, last year's Super Bowl, you know, went
Speaker 12: three seconds shy of five full quarters. The most watched
Speaker 12: television show in the history of American television by a lot,
Speaker 12: not by like one percent, by twelve percent. Two hundred
Speaker 12: and three million Americans watched it one time. Normally I
Speaker 12: don't even care about that, But now that we were
Speaker 12: walking around with the belt, the Championship belt, I'm making
Speaker 12: believe here now it was a great game, the broadcast.
Speaker 12: Thankfully for our production team, it won the Emmy. So
Speaker 12: proud of the thousand people that presented that that day
Speaker 12: and in all those years of doing the End Tournament,
Speaker 12: there are just too many to isolate and back at
Speaker 12: that little place in Augusta, Georgia, Tiger nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 12: a win for the Ages pass forward to twenty nineteen,
Speaker 12: this scene plays out again, the return to glory, and
Speaker 12: Tiger is walking off the green and he's hugging Charlie,
Speaker 12: his son. It's a perfect and perfect symmetry with the
Speaker 12: scene we had seen twenty two years before, when Tiger
Speaker 12: walked off the green breaking all the records in the
Speaker 12: history of augusta youngest champion, largest margin of victory, the
Speaker 12: seventy two hole scoring record, the youngest ever. And there
Speaker 12: was Earl, his dad. If you gpsed it, I would
Speaker 12: say that it happened on the exact same spot. Earl
Speaker 12: hugged Tiger. Twenty two years later, Tiger hugs Charlie. It
Speaker 12: went from a father to a son, and now the
Speaker 12: son's the father and he's having the same moment with
Speaker 12: his son. If you're in the storytelling business, it's about
Speaker 12: as rich as it gets, about as high drama as
Speaker 12: it gets. You know, thankfully we're on camera, because you
Speaker 12: know there are shedding a few silent tears along the way,
Speaker 12: is all that's happening. If you have a heartbeat, you
Speaker 12: realize the gravity of that moment.
Speaker 2: Great to reminisce.
Speaker 8: I love reminiscing with you. You know I'm wearing something here.
Speaker 12: I just I know they've got a lot going on
Speaker 12: out there, But this is Bellair Country Club's Shields, okay,
Speaker 12: and Owl's a part of that. I've been fortunate to
Speaker 12: be a part of that club for a long time
Speaker 12: as a member. We have a lot of our families
Speaker 12: out there that have.
Speaker 8: Lost their homes. It's it's it's a lot.
Speaker 12: It's there are many many unfortunately lived in the Palisades
Speaker 12: and what's going on in LA. I don't want the
Speaker 12: story to just we get numb to things like this.
Speaker 12: These areamilies, these are people lives. We're but the twenty
Speaker 12: six is the death toll now. And I'm just, as
Speaker 12: I said signing off on Sunday from Buffalo after the
Speaker 12: Buffalo Denver game, LA, we're thinking of you, we're praying
Speaker 12: for you, and really tough times. So we're out here
Speaker 12: talking fun and games. That's real life. And people's whole
Speaker 12: entire lives have been uprooted life savings, you know, starting
Speaker 12: from scratch in the middle of their lives and maybe
Speaker 12: later in their business careers whatever. It's all gone. And
Speaker 12: it's not just a because it's three days and retired
Speaker 12: to the story. Let's move on to something else. It's
Speaker 12: real and I'm just thinking of all my families out
Speaker 12: there that I know, many of whom you would know, Dan,
Speaker 12: and it's just indescribable.
Speaker 2: Have fun this weekend. Thanks for joining us. As always, I'm.
Speaker 12: Coming to see you the summer. By the way you
Speaker 12: I mean on your door up there? Whoa Okay, I
Speaker 12: know where you are. Now do you want to come
Speaker 12: in for a meet Friday.
Speaker 8: Into that studio right there?
Speaker 2: Well, this is made now, that's what.
Speaker 8: I'm talking about. I'm going to make it this summer. Okay.
Speaker 2: Well it's not Butler's cabin, it's Danny's cabin. But we'd
Speaker 2: love to have you. That's awesome.
Speaker 8: I don't need to be on the air.
Speaker 12: If you need an emergency, you talk about emergency fill in.
Speaker 12: If maybe a guest doesn't show up, I'll pop on
Speaker 12: for five minutes. But I'd like to see the studio.
Speaker 12: But better than that, I'd like to go out and
Speaker 12: have a lunch with you afterwards, so I'll find you.
Speaker 2: Sounds great. Thank you, Thanks Dan, all the best you
Speaker 2: But that's Jim NaN's Hall of Famer. Take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll play in or out after this. Robert Griffin third
Speaker 2: will stop by as well.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: I was going to do are you in or Out?
Speaker 2: Can't wait, Dad, but I'm I'm gonna push it to
Speaker 2: the top of the hour. Wow, I think we need
Speaker 2: a little more breathing room for in or out?
Speaker 6: So I should take it as a compliment.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that top of the hour will do are
Speaker 2: you in or out? Like, give us a for instance,
Speaker 2: just to let that audience know at the top of
Speaker 2: the hour, you're gonna want to stay with us.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'll give you one.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy is closer to a Super Bowl today than
Speaker 6: he was a week.
Speaker 2: Ago, Todd, are you in or out?
Speaker 12: In?
Speaker 6: He's eaten. He's teamless though, that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm extremely out. Marvin, I'm out.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be out because he's not in. He doesn't
Speaker 2: have a team. But I would say.
Speaker 6: He's out of the situation that felt like a groundhog day.
Speaker 2: But he had a better chance of winning a Super
Speaker 2: Bowl with the Cowboys than not coaching a team currently
Speaker 2: in the NFL.
Speaker 6: That's technically correct. I looked it up. If you're not
Speaker 6: coaching a team, you cannot win the super Bowl.
Speaker 5: He probably has a better chance of winning the super
Speaker 5: Bowl in Dallas than he does of any of the
Speaker 5: remaining teams that are looking for coaches.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it is.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you plug him into Jacksonville like
Speaker 5: whoa super Bowl contender?
Speaker 6: Question mark?
Speaker 2: Probably not? Okay, more of that coming up top of
Speaker 2: the hour. It is are you in or are you out?

Speaker 10: I had a same thing, but as the adult version.
Speaker 10: If you ever try tequila rose, it's like a strawberry click.
Speaker 10: But for adults, so you would enjoy that a little better.
Speaker 8: I'll thank you. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't need alcohol in my strawberry quick, right, I
Speaker 2: just have alcohol. I don't need to have dress it
Speaker 2: up with strawberry quick.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, Tequila rose is a strawberry cream tequila drink.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, that doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3: You're out.
Speaker 2: Bob and Montana sent me Elvis bourbon or something that
Speaker 2: was peanut butter and banana.
Speaker 5: I don't need that because that's he used to eat
Speaker 5: those sandwiches, right, peanut butter and banana sandwich.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't need those.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And it made you all shook up after
Speaker 3: you had that.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, put on your bluetheit tooth and walk
Speaker 2: on down to bop hop and say, hey, I don't
Speaker 2: want this stuff. You got another one time?
Speaker 3: Sell it at the Heartbreak Hotel. You get like if
Speaker 3: you get anything else that think that's good.
Speaker 2: That's it. Those those are the only Elvis songs you know.
Speaker 3: The Jailhouse Rock. But I didn't have a clever line
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 2: You did to get so just don't be cruel, and
Speaker 2: his MoMA cry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't be cruel, Give it another chance and help
Speaker 4: fall in love with this stuff.
Speaker 2: No, you can't take what seat?
Speaker 3: And I was just jumping on that. I've been known
Speaker 3: to do that once it all.
Speaker 2: It's called stealing. Is on the way, Robert Rounder, Sure,
Speaker 2: dinner the third next
