Well, I mean, people know you from NFL network, 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: they know you from NBC and the Olympics and the 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: many things you've done for NBC. How many years in 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: a row does this make now that you've been the 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: lead voice of the Tour de France boy back to 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, So eight sixteen, Yeah, there you go. 32 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: You're a little better than I am. 33 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: Eight. 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: It's crazy, Mike. I never I didn't follow cycling. I 35 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: didn't grow up like aspiring to work on things like 36 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: the Olympics or Tour to France. But when you're inside 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: the building at NBC, you get to do these kind 38 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 2: of things. So never saw that one coming, but really 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: happy to still be a part of it. Are you 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: a cyclist? You know what? This is going to hurt 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: some of my street cred o people who watched the tour, 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: But no, I'm not. Now I have a bike, my 43 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: wife and I and sons will get out and ride around. 44 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: But anybody who is an actual cyclist, for me to 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: put to be in that group would be an insult. 46 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: So how do you prepare for a broadcast like that 47 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 3: when it's it's not something that you're super familiar with, right. 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, being at NBC has been so good that way 49 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: because ten years at NFL Network, I played football for 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: as long as I could, so it's very comfortable for 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: me to talk about football, to look at football, and 52 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: then broadcast about it. But going from NFL Network to NBC. 53 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: Inside that building we have every Olympic sport. We have 54 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: a lot of soccer, we have the Tour to Front, 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: so I didn't know how much of the others I 56 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: was going to be doing. But to do something like 57 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: cycling at that level, it was something that scared me 58 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: a lot. I was all at once when my boss 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: asked me to do it, this is awesome. I'm really 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: scared because I don't know that much about it. So 61 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: I kind of had to go down that road of 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: talking to people who make it their living to think 63 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: about cycling, to read everything I could, to listen to 64 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: people say the names and talk about it, and that's 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: how I kind of got started to being comfortable to 66 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: go on live TV talking about a sport that I 67 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: didn't grow up with. 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: In the Olympics, where have you focused the majority of 69 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: your attention since you've been at NBC. 70 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: Yes, so I have done water polo two different times 71 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: in the summer games and ski jumping in the winter, 72 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: And just like with cycling, these aren't sports that I 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: grew up with. I was just presenting with the challenge 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: in the form of basically an instruction, you will be 75 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: doing these sports, and I've kind of, I don't I'm 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: not comfortable enough saying I've become good at it, but 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: I've become comfortable with getting an assignment of a sport 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: that I didn't grow up thinking about playing or watching. 79 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: And I kind of have a little formula that I 80 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: follow to get to the point, like a a moment 81 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: ago where the red light can go on and I 82 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: can have the words come out of my mouth and 83 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: I can trust that it's going to be at the 84 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: very least. 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Okay, how much study do you have to do for 86 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: those sports when you don't have that basic knowledge like 87 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: you would of football or basketball or baseball? 88 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, all kinds of it. And I don't know the 89 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: exact number, Mike, but if I can just back up 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: a little bit, so when you and I are calling football, 91 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: something that we've been doing for a long long time. 92 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: Any action that happens on the field, you know exactly 93 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: what it is. You know what a first down is, 94 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: you know what the hashmark is, you know what the 95 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: uprights are. These are things we've been thinking about our 96 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: entire life. And then I get to water polo and 97 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: every single rule, the landmarks inside the pool, the rules, 98 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: the history are things that have not been on my mind. 99 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: So I really just I read everything I can. I 100 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: find out the five people in the United States who 101 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: know the most about it. I get in touch with them, 102 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: and I asked for their time. Hey, at some point 103 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: in the next month, can we spend a half hour 104 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: on the phone. I just want to listen to you 105 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: and ask you some questions. Those kind of things I 106 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: read as much as they can. I listen to it. 107 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: I actually practice the words coming out of my mouth. 108 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: My wife and my sons are used to be doing this. 109 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 2: It used to be weird, but now I'm just up 110 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: in my office saying names. You're saying things that happen 111 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: in the pool or in ski jumping. So the first 112 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: time that they actually come out of my mouth, it's 113 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: not on live TV. I've said it a hundred different 114 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: times at home by myself. So it's a nerdy, different 115 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: kind of prep than I would have for football or basketball. 116 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: But I have found that when I do those kind 117 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 2: of things for these sports that just kind of came 118 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: into my lap that I didn't have a lot of 119 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 2: institutional knowledge of before, that's how I practice, and that's 120 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: how I get to the point where I can go 121 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: on the air and feel like it's going to go okay. 122 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: That makes you quite a renaissance man, though. I mean 123 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 3: it's not everybody who even everybody in the sports broadcasting 124 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 3: world can walk into a room and say, Hey, what 125 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: do you want to talk about? Basketball, football, baseball, water, polo, 126 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 3: ski jumping. I mean, it makes to you a very 127 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: broad kind of person who can fit into a lot 128 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: of different rooms and a lot of different circles, which 129 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: as a broadcaster, as a person who wants to remain 130 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: in the world of sports and talk about a lot 131 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: of different things, has got to be a great skill 132 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 3: to have. 133 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: It is, and it's a little bit deceiving too amy 134 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: to be honest, because even though I can go on 135 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: the air and host a show or call that sport, 136 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: I still don't feel anything like an expert like Mike 137 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: and I can talk about football from now until the 138 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: holidays and not run out of things to say when 139 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: it comes to something like the Tour de France or 140 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 2: water pol in the Olympics, or the Premier League in soccer, 141 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: which I've been working with for the last couple of seasons. Now, 142 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: I still don't feel super comfortable. And I was talking 143 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: to a group here before. I feel comfortable enough to 144 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: do it, to do my job well. But this feeling 145 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: of being and I'm not afraid to say it, this 146 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: feeling of being a little bit scared by a challenge 147 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: is good for you as a broadcaster because it pushes 148 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: you into the space where you're studying every last thing 149 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: you can because you have this thought like I'm going 150 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: to be on the air and I'm going to be 151 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: found out. I am going to be exposed for not 152 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 2: knowing as much as I should about this sport. So 153 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: I have made it. If I've made it at all, 154 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: I've made it because there's some fear in there that 155 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: I know if I don't over prepare for all of 156 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: these sports every single day, that I don't get to 157 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: come back and do it again the next day. So 158 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: it's nice that you think that we could have a 159 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: really nice chat about cycling or international sports, and maybe 160 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: we could. But I mostly have taught myself to get 161 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: to the point where I feel prepared in something that 162 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: whether it was a month before or year before that 163 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: I was in no way prepared to do. 164 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: I would think the Premier League would be the biggest 165 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: thing where you could be afraid, because I mean even 166 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: to the people who work here at Ascension Sat Thomas 167 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: Sports Park, who are Premier League fans, yeah, they take 168 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: it so seriously. Yeah, I mean if you're not on 169 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: spot with that, you can be found out in a hurry. 170 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you would appreciate this, Mike. The first thing 171 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: I do before I get into anything of the particulars, 172 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: the storylines, the pronunciations of the teams and the players, 173 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: top towns in the stage exactly because the first time 174 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: you say something like that wrong, it's over. So if 175 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: I'm doing something for Man City, which I mean they're 176 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: the champions and they are the team, if I say 177 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: Pep Guardiola's name wrong, the manager, I'm out. Nobody will 178 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: listen to me anymore. So that's part of the fear, 179 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: and it's also part of the knowledge of knowing that 180 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: the people that like it, the Tour de Frances and cycling, 181 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: the Premier League in soccer, they love it, and if 182 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: they don't accept you as being on the inside and 183 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: the earliest way or the I guess the most common 184 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 2: way to be found out as someone who's not one 185 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: of them, you don't deserve to be talking about it 186 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: on TV is to have the pronunciations and the names 187 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: and the cities wrong. So I always, I always start 188 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: in that spot. 189 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 3: I bet you guys have similar notes. You guys probably 190 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 3: have matching word documents somewhere that have pronunciation guides yea 191 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: and numbers. And because your preparation sounds exactly, this is. 192 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: A little further than mine with all of this other 193 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: because I'm just I mean, I'm doing football well. 194 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: But I mean I think I think your brains work 195 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: the same way as a podcast. 196 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: I think you fear if when you say a name wrong, 197 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: it it sort of makes you an imposter, right, unless 198 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: you've heard it pronounced a certain way, you know, like 199 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook a Kina. We were told it was pronouncing 200 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook a keena, and then during one of the 201 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: COVID years he changed it, Yeah, because he met his 202 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: father's family and they said, hey, you're saying it wrong. 203 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: So he just casually mentioned to someone that was Nick 204 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: Westbrook Akine and I felt I was devastated because I 205 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: worked so hard on KEA. And then it's like, Nick, 206 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: could you not have called me and told me? Yeah, yeah, 207 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: not his job obviously, but yeah, it's a it's a 208 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: big deal because you want to be as accurate as 209 00:09:59,400 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: you can for the. 210 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: Fan base too, right, right, yeah, exactly, and that those 211 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: are the basics. And I think one of the reasons 212 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: I've enjoyed this so much, Mike, and one of the 213 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: reasons probably why you have been good at it for 214 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 2: a long time as well. I'm always thinking about ways 215 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 2: to be better at it. Like I mean, you and 216 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: I have had conversations this entire day, and I'm taking 217 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: mental notes, like I haven't just asked you about the Titans. 218 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: I've asked you about your work and who you like 219 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: out there. I mean, you are your pros pro and 220 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: if there's somebody out there that you think is really good, 221 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go listen to him to see what I 222 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: can pick up. So I think the lifelong curiosity has 223 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: has helped the. 224 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: Lots Titans fans. Listen up, open a Titans checking account 225 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: from Pinnacle with at least one hundred dollars and a 226 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: recurring direct deposit by August the eighteenth, and you could 227 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: win two tickets to five Titans home games. Details at 228 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: Titansbanking Dot coming from Pinnacle. Play hard, bake easy, remember fpiic. 229 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,119 Speaker 1: All right, speaking of pressure, we're missing with Paul Burmeister, 230 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: who has like forty seven jobs, none of them this 231 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: August is going to be calling Titans preseason games with 232 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: Charles Davis on television. We're so excited about him joining us, 233 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: but he is the voice of Notre Dame football. Yes, 234 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: there's some pressure in that. 235 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: Pall, Yeah, some really fun pressure. Okay, probably the same 236 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: kind of pressure you feel, but yeah, I mean, I'm 237 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: very aware that Notre Dame football has the kind of 238 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: cachet and the history where there's a lot of people listening, 239 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: and I find that to be a really fun kind 240 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: of pressure because I know it matters. There's a lot 241 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 2: of people out there who have designed their day. They 242 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 2: can't be at the stadium, and you probably feel the 243 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: same way. They can't be in South Bend or wherever 244 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: we're playing on that weekend. But for those three hours, 245 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: they are going to listen and they're counting on me 246 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: to let them know what's going on. And I do 247 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: feel that as pressure and responsibility, but it comes out 248 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: internally for me as fun. It's a fun prep during 249 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: the week. It's a fun thing to feel in the 250 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: booth that I don't want to let anybody down. There 251 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: might be someone who's the biggest Notre Dame fan of 252 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: the world. They're driving their daughter to soccer and they've 253 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: got fifteen minutes to catch up on the game. I 254 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: don't want to screw that up. I mean, that's important 255 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes of that person's day because of how much 256 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: they love that program. So it's a fun kind of 257 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: pressure to me to think about how many people want 258 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: to have the right picture painted of what's going on. 259 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: What was it like today you got the call that 260 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: you were going to be the voice of Notre Dame Football. 261 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: It's funny. We were just talking about the Tour de 262 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: France because it happened. It happened late in the summer 263 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: and I was on like stage eighteen and they were 264 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: going to interview me, and I was in the Pyrenees, 265 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: and I'm like, my first thought, how am I going 266 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: to have reception to people back in the States where 267 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: we are literally out here in the in the middle 268 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 2: of nowhere in the mountains. And I found a spot 269 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: like in between our set and a cliff, and I 270 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: was talking to them and I could just tell that 271 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: it was going very well well, And shortly after that 272 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 2: I got the call, And it was a similar kind 273 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: of feeling Mike, because as well as I know football, 274 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 2: and I've been broadcasting football on TV for a while, 275 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: I'd never done a game on the radio, I had 276 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: never done a single game on the radio. So I 277 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: knew that I had to get up to speed on 278 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 2: the nuance in the particulars. And I called some people 279 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: that I knew went back and forth between radio and TV, 280 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: Mike Tarico, Iron Eagle, Kenny Albert, Kevin har. 281 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not bad. 282 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: Those guys were so amazingly helpful. I mean, I hope 283 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: at some point I can be that helpful to somebody 284 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: where I know I know so much about something where 285 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: I can help someone feel like they went from here 286 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: to here with just the conversation. Those guys could not 287 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: have been better I have notes that I look at 288 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: before every single game from those guys as they told 289 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: me about here's what you have to keep in mind 290 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: when you go from TV to radio, and it was 291 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: just just gold in terms of helpful information. 292 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: Do you like that you have the ability to do both, 293 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: to do the TV and the radio. I know we 294 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: talk about it a lot, how it uses such different muscles. 295 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: In your brain. 296 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I enjoyed a lot and radio. And again, 297 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: as Mike knows very well, you're talking so much. And 298 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: I grew up in TV where and it's also kind 299 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: of a personal thing. I don't like to be the 300 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: one talking the most. I want my analyst to be 301 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: the star. I want the game to be the star. 302 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: And I'm confident to talk on TV. But if I'm 303 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: talking more than the other people on TV, I'm doing 304 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: something wrong. Whereas on radio you have to be the 305 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: one talking the most, so the amount of energy and 306 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: the amount of words that come out is much different 307 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: than when I'm calling something on TV. I've come to 308 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: like it, but it took a long time to get 309 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: okay with it because I knew I was talking way 310 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: more than I was used to. But again, going back 311 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: to what the guys told me. Mike Tarico told me, 312 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: he's like, listen, when you're on TV, it's the producer, 313 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: it's the analyst, it's the game, and then it's you. 314 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: On the radio, it is you, you and you and 315 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: the analyst can come in a little bit kind of 316 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: toward the end. And it's not a selfish thing. It's 317 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: just a reality part of it. So it took some 318 00:14:59,480 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: getting use. 319 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, when I got into the business years and years ago, 320 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: the feeling was the number one radio job in the 321 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: country was Notre Dame, even more so than the Yankees, 322 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: even more so than the Dodgers or the Celtics. And 323 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I know times changed, but it's still I mean, 324 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: that is an incredible opportunity understanding their history and their 325 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: nationwide base, which at one time they were the only 326 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: nationwide school because there wasn't as much television. That's changed some, 327 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: but still fantastic. So I'm interested to know you and 328 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: your wife have two sons who are teenagers. Which of 329 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: your jobs are they most impressed with? Because if I 330 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: saw you, I would say, oh, Notre Dame, because I 331 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: know because of my background and I know it is. 332 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: So I'm fascinated to know what the people and the 333 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: Burmeister household thick. 334 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: Well. I have been so lucky, Mike to fall into 335 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: a couple sports that are my son's favorite sports. So 336 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: I would think that the Olympics or Notre Dame football 337 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: or something like that would come up, and it's not 338 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: like they got past the point. And I'm gonna throw 339 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: my wife in there as well, being impressed by the 340 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: fact that I was on TV a long time ago, 341 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 2: and so I lucked into two sports that they both love. 342 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: So my oldest son plays lacrosse. They just want to 343 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: stay championship at their high school. We got the Premier 344 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: Lacrosse League at NBC from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one. 345 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: Right when the league came on the air, and my 346 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: son was I think he was in seventh grade then, 347 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: just falling in love with the sport. And when I 348 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: heard we were going to get the Premier Lacrosse League, 349 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: I raised my hand and ran to one of the 350 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: vps and said, can I please be a part of this. 351 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: I will call the games, I will do whatever you want. 352 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: I knew there would be a connection for my son 353 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: to have, and so I got that role and I 354 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: had him along with me on the sidelines of games. 355 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 2: He's rubbing shoulders with guys he looked up to as 356 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: a dad. It was like so awesome to present that 357 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: to him because I'm gone so often and to be 358 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: able to be gone and share his favorite thing with him. 359 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: That's what he was most impressed with. Was it Premier 360 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: Lacrosse League. And just as I got into the Premier 361 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 2: League for soccer and got the asked to be part 362 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 2: of that hosting team, my youngest son developed a real 363 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 2: like which has become a love now for soccer, and 364 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: we have really developed that love together and we watch 365 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: it on TV together now and he thinks I've got 366 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 2: a little bit of street cred because I'm talking about 367 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: it on TV. And so I can't tell you how 368 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: fortunate I feel that I fell into two sports that 369 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: my sons completely love, and then I can share it 370 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: with them because I get to do it as a broadcaster. 371 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: Just I'm really glad you asked that question, because clearly 372 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: I love talking about it. And again it goes back 373 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: to the fact that I've gone a lot. I've gone 374 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: a lot on weekends, I miss things, but to be 375 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: involved in sports that they love has just been such 376 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: a gift. 377 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: How does Paul Burmeister keep on the run with forty 378 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: seven different jobs?

Please. 392 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: How long have you known Charles Davis? 393 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: So I have known of Charles. Let's go back to 394 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: two thousands, two thousand and six. So my first three 395 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 2: years of NFL network, I was hosting shows out of 396 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,479 Speaker 2: NFL Films, and as the network was growing up, they 397 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 2: wanted everything to take place in La. So I started 398 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: flying to LA every weekend for a college football show 399 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 2: every Saturday. And my executive producer that summer said, Hey, 400 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: we just signed somebody in the college football world. That 401 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: is great. You're gonna love him. Super nice guy, really 402 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: good Charles day this, and I have to admit, ce D, 403 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: don't be mad. I'm like, I didn't. I didn't know 404 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: Charles in two thousand and six. And so then the 405 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: first time I threw to Charles, he was calling a 406 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 2: game at Washington State. I was in the studio. I 407 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: teed him up and he made a reference to a 408 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: Bill Murray line in stripes like that, and I'm like, huh, 409 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: I might I might kind of like this guy. 410 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: If we're going to be making Bill Murray line. 411 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: He it was. It was from Sergeant Holka who was 412 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: talking to Bill Murray. He's like something about blown up, sir, 413 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: And I'm like, how did he get from my pe 414 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: to him? Where is your sergeant, sir? Well done? Yes, 415 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 2: we can hang out with you as well. And that 416 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 2: started a pretty good relationship, and he and I worked 417 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: together really closely during the draft, Senior Bulls, the Combines 418 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: for years and uh, he's somebody that I liked right 419 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: away personally and somebody I developed a really strong respect for. 420 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: And I said this to you Mike earlier, Charles being 421 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: on the number two team at CBS, he's not supposed 422 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: to be there. Hel longs there and he ought to 423 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: be there for the long term, but there wasn't an 424 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 2: industry job waiting for Charles Davis after being a decent 425 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: player at Tennessee and getting released in training camp from 426 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. The things he has done and the amount 427 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 2: of work he has done to get to that point 428 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: is so commendable and easy to respect. His wife sent 429 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 2: out some notes to his close friends to celebrate Charles's 430 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: I think it was a twenty fifth, twenty fifth anniversary 431 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: in the industry, and she said, just write whatever you 432 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: want to Charles. And I fought a long time about 433 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: it because there's so many funny things I could say 434 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: to him. We've had so many laughs together and so 435 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: many shows together. And I really spent some time thinking 436 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: about it, because when Charles comes up, people talk about 437 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 2: how kind he is, and it is one hundred percent 438 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 2: damn true. He is as nice as a person could be, 439 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: And of course it helps him not only stay at 440 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: a place, but ascend because he treats people that way. 441 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: But I wrote to him, I said, Charles, this is 442 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: it's not about you being nice is why you are 443 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 2: up here. It's because you are really damn good. You're nice, yes, 444 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: and that's great, that's why we're buddies. But you have 445 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: ascended to where you are because you are incredibly good 446 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: at what you do, and Charles works. I'm going on 447 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: about Charles, but like, okay, I mentioned the word scared, 448 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: like sometimes I'm being a little bit scared can push 449 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 2: you into being overprepared. Charles knows how this business works. 450 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: He knows there are people around waiting to take all 451 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 2: of our jobs if and when we don't do it 452 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: the right way, and he prepares. We don't talk about that, 453 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: but I know that's in his head. He prepares in 454 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: a way where he knows how this works and he 455 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: needs to do it this well, not most of the time, 456 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: but every single time. So easy guy to like as 457 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 2: a buddy, maybe even more easy to respect as a professional. 458 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: Having someone like that that you work with so often 459 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 3: and have such a good relationship with has to help 460 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: you also when you're preparing for something new like this 461 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: role with the TI Titans. How much will you be 462 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 3: able to work with him? And kind of because he's 463 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 3: been doing this for a while, Charles has been around 464 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: the Titans organization in different capacities for a long time. 465 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 3: How much will you lean on him to help you 466 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: prepare and kind of get ready for your first preseason 467 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 3: with the Titans? 468 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: A lot and all the time. And I've been around 469 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 2: enough to where I'm used to getting ready for something 470 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: when I don't have a stage and a buddy like 471 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: Charles on the inside to help me. But when I do, 472 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to take advantage of that. So from being 473 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: inside the building here today to interacting with Coach Rabel 474 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: and the players, I will make a call to Charles 475 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: every single time because I would like to be like him. 476 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: I would like for people to describe me this way. 477 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 2: But I know that he knows all the particulars and 478 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 2: the nuance of how people think and what's important to 479 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: them as they're trying to decide if they're going to 480 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: respect somebody as a pro or not. So I will 481 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 2: lean on him a lot. I wish I had him 482 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 2: as a partner in every little thing I do. 483 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is one of the reasons you wanted 484 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: to do Titans preseason was just sort of get back 485 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: together with him and work in this way. 486 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And Charles and I got to work 487 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 2: together all the time for all those years' NFL Network, 488 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: and we have joked in all the years since, Hey, 489 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 2: someday we're going to work together again. I didn't really 490 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: know that we would actually get to and when it 491 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 2: seemed like there could potentially be an opportunity here an 492 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 2: the thirty one other jobs as the preseason play by 493 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: play person are terrific jobs too, but with my buddy Charles, 494 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it was one of those things where I'm like, Okay, 495 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: at some point along the way, this is going to 496 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: get tripped up. I'm not going to get to be 497 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: in an organization like this with all the exciting things 498 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: they have going on with perhaps my best friend in 499 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 2: the business, Am I really going to get to do that? 500 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: And the fact that it worked out one of the reasons, 501 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 2: maybe the lead reason I'm so excited about it is 502 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: I get to stand next to Charles for those three nights, 503 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: those three times in the preseason. 504 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: Paul Burmeister is our guest on the OTP.

Paul Burmeister played against Mike Rabel 516 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: in college. 517 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: I did not know this. 518 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 2: Buck guys, Hawk guys the way back when and every 519 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 2: single Ohio State team was so loaded with players. I 520 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: mean you could go the D line to the linebackers, 521 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: to the DB's and yeah, known of Mike for for 522 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 2: a long long time. 523 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you were a senior quarterback at Iowa, Yes, 524 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: when he was a freshman defensive ended Ohio State. Do 525 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: you have any recollection of him from that one game? 526 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: I don't so Mike may have been. It might have 527 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 2: been his very first year. I remember Big Daddy Wilkinson 528 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 2: playing noseguard and like Steve Tovar playing linebacker, and there 529 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 2: was an outside linebacker that got picked by the Browns 530 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 2: in the first round. And maybe Powell is there. 531 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: Okay, I'll believe. 532 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't remember if Mike was out 533 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: there or not, or if he was in his very 534 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: first year. I'm not sure, but I knew of Mike 535 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: at Ohio State for sure. 536 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly a remarkable career, and it's been a remarkable 537 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: career for him already with the Titans as the head coach. 538 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: His assent is something we don't spend a lot of 539 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: time talking about because he's now been here six years. 540 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: But this guy didn't even start coaching football till twenty eleven, right, Yeah. 541 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Crazy, that is not very long ago. No, No, he's 542 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: a veteran head coach. 543 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: He's one of the longer tenured head coaches in the league. 544 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: That is just crazy. And just from watching one practice, 545 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: and it's so much fun to go to practice. You 546 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 2: can put your eyes on so many different things and learn. 547 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 2: But watching Mike and I made a point to watch 548 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 2: Mike in the time that I spent out there and 549 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 2: I wrote down practice starts. He's got his hands on 550 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: his knees. He's five feet from the wide receivers. He 551 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 2: is spending time with the wide receivers. Not a walk 552 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: by glands. Okay, those guys look okay. He was in 553 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: it with them at the start of practice, with the 554 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: group he didn't grow up with. So then he's with 555 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: the defensive lineman later on in practice working on hand technique. 556 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 2: He's like they were in a huddle in between things, 557 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: and I see him in there like actually not like 558 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: full force demonstrating, but showing them some things, talking about 559 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 2: things with them. He's watching the quarterbacks for the next 560 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: twenty minutes, all three of them, as close as he can. 561 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 2: In sprints. Here's what I really liked. He's watching everybody 562 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: run sprints. He's right there in the middle of him. 563 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 2: You know, every single player, whether it's a rookie or vette, 564 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: they know. The head coach is standing right there at 565 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 2: the finish line. And he called out three names of players. 566 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: And it wasn't Tannehill. Okay, it wasn't guys who were 567 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: well known. It was fifth string guys. He knew their 568 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: first names and if they were running hard or not. 569 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: So like my first impression. I know of Mike from 570 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: the outside looking in, but from the first time watching 571 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 2: a practice, the range of the way he spends his 572 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: time and his talent and energy, and the way he 573 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 2: knows each one of the players, not of them a 574 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: little bit, but knows their names. It may sound basic, 575 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 2: I promise you there are head coaches, quite a few 576 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 2: of them at camps. They couldn't tell you the first 577 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: names all the players there. And the fact that he 578 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: was calling out names of guys who were not household names. 579 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: I made mental note of that as I don't know 580 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: how that would come up in a preseason broadcast, but 581 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 2: it can come up on my mind as something that 582 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 2: impressed me. 583 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 3: Well, it's I mean, it just gives you a bigger 584 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 3: picture not only of Mike Rabel as a coach and 585 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 3: as a teacher of men, which is kind of more 586 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: what he sees himself as, but also of the Tennessee 587 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 3: Titans and how this team has gotten to the point 588 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: that they are within I mean, coming off of all 589 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 3: of these wins seasons and even when things don't necessarily 590 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 3: go the way, the culture remains the same, and Mike 591 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 3: rabel is such a huge part of that. The way 592 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 3: that he spends his time, in the things that he does, 593 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 3: in the way that he engages with his players, He's 594 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: created that that when things are really good and things 595 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 3: aren't going the way that anybody wants them to, there's 596 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 3: a steadiness there. Yeah, that this team hasn't always. 597 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: Had such a keyword steadiness because players of any sport, 598 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: especially professionals, want to know that the coach is going 599 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: to be some version of the same dude all the time. 600 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 2: The ones who have the wide range that they have 601 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: a hard time maintaining the players for a long time. 602 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: And I go back to where he learned with Bill 603 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: Belichick and the last couple of seasons, I've called USFL 604 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 2: games for NBC, and there are a lot of guys, 605 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 2: most of the guys have been in NFL camps and 606 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: I always like to when I talk to him, ask 607 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 2: him about, Hey, you've been in six camps which one 608 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 2: made the biggest impression on you? And there was a 609 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: cornerback for New Jersey last year, and his story or 610 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: his response to that question, he's like, you know what, 611 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: I've actually been in seven buildings, you were one off, 612 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: and he said there was one head coach because he 613 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: would be in these buildings for like three or four 614 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 2: weeks at a time. He said, one head coach knew 615 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 2: my name and talk to me by using my name 616 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 2: every time. It was Bill Belichick in New England. And 617 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: so the fact that Mike can do that with all 618 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: of his players, you know, maybe it's who he is anyway, 619 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: but I think he grew up seeing that example. 620 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: We always heard the stories that the only guy on 621 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: those great Patriots teams who was basically allowed to give 622 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: Belichick the business was Vrabel, That he did a Belichick impersonation, 623 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: and that he would do things in practice, and he 624 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: would say things at times, and that Belichick would actually 625 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: laugh at it. It makes sense when you see Belichick, 626 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: and it certainly makes sense when you see Vrabel now 627 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: as a coach. The reason that they would bond because 628 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: Pat Kerwin, who we enjoy talking with. I love Pat 629 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: Kerwin on serious XMNFL radio, moving the Chains, and and 630 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: I get a chance to visit with him at the Combine, 631 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: and I see him at the Senior Bowl. He claims 632 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: that Mike Vrabel was Bill Belichick's favorite interview ever at 633 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: the combine. 634 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: Really did you get any intel on what exactly went 635 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 2: down in that interview? 636 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: Sort of, but I think it was because because Pat 637 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: was in the room and he just said they just 638 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,239 Speaker 1: totally connected and that he knew when Mike became a 639 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: free agent leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers, that Belichick was gonna 640 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: sign him just because he was his kind of guy. Yeah, 641 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, in Pittsburgh, the story was he couldn't get 642 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: around some really outstanding edge guys to get on the field, 643 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: and that he was told Bill Cowherd told him. He said, 644 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be a starter, you're probably gonna have 645 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: to go somewhere else. And he did and the rest 646 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: of his history and now he's in the Patriots Hall 647 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: of Fame, which is incredibly exciting. But you just kind 648 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: of get the sense that they got each other. And 649 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: when the teams have practiced against one another, and which 650 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: they will do again next month, you can see it, Yeah, 651 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: Belichick having the Patriots rookies come over and sing happy 652 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: birthdate to Rabel. Just all of these touches that you 653 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: just say, Okay, they go together somehow in some strange way, 654 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: because they don't seem to be alike. 655 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 3: No, but they fit. 656 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: They fit, that's well put. 657 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they each they're very tough guys, and 658 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: they may not give a lot to the media when 659 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 2: they're talking to them at times, but I think they 660 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: each appreciate a laugh and they each really appreciate a 661 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: sense of humor. And people don't know that about Bill, 662 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 2: and maybe they don't know it about Mike, and I 663 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 2: don't know Mike hardily at all, but I think they're 664 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 2: the kind of guys that not only appreciate toughness, but 665 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: they appreciate a sense of humor and laughing as well. 666 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: Well. Mike Rabel's the kind of guy that can relate 667 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: to anybody on the planet right. He has the ability 668 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 3: to find that one touch point that's like, oh, yes, 669 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: you and I we agree on this thing over here 670 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: and that thing over there. And he is able to 671 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: do that, which is why the players love him so much, 672 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 3: because no matter what your background is, no matter where 673 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 3: you come from, you can find a touch point with 674 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel, and there's a way that there's a click 675 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: or a relationship that's formed on something, no matter what 676 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 3: it is. He is able to do that, and I 677 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 3: think that that is a skill set that not everybody 678 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 3: has and makes him a guy who's able to fit 679 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: in with a Bill Belichick and every single guy in 680 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 3: the locker room and every single person who works in 681 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 3: the building. Mike Rabel can just do that.
