Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come in to you

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: from sunny southern California, one last time with authority here

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. For forty years, Tyrack's been helping

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: customers from the right tires for how, what and where

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: they drive, ship fast and free and back by free

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: road hassle protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: installation tyrat dot com the way tire buying should be.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: So we had a lot to talk about, and I

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: am going to do something for the next two hours

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: which violates what I I have done for the last

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: twenty three years, really eighteen years as an afternoon drive

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: host here on the Doug Gottlieb Show, which is I'm

19
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: going to talk about what I want to talk about,

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: not necessarily what you want to talk about the rule

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: in sports radio, especially national sports radio, is check your ego,

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: which doesn't really happen with most of us as hosts.

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Check your but check your ego in terms of topic selection.

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: My topic selection, Guys that talk about what they want

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: to talk about fall by the wayside. Guys that talk

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: about what the most people want to talk about. Like

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: we make fun of talking about the Cowboys at all times,

28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: but when you talk about the Cowboys, more people have

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: an opinion or seem to want to listen. So I'm

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: going to violate that because of announcement that I made

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: after our show two days ago. And we'll get into

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: that in a second. First thing is congratulations to Dan

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Byer's Seattle Seahawks. What a game, what a win, What

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: a way to announce your presence nukle Lustyle with authority

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL on Thursday night football.

36
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: That was a wild one last night. Sees never a

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: dull moment. You already said it with Pete Carroll and

38
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. Every Seahawks game came down to the final

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: second or the last play of the game last night.

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: So the Sam Donald Mike McDonald era no different.

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: And I love my favorite thing about social media is

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: freezing cold takes is pretty good, but when people keep

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: re seats and if you would have looked at halftime

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: or early in the third quarter on Sam Donald. Sam

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Donald was what was the quarterback Nathan He was basically

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, right, Nathan Peter Like, same old Sam Donald.

47
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Sam Donald sucks. I can't believe Seattle did this. This

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: is the real Sam Donald. You had all the memes

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: and then pulling off the mask, you know, all those things,

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: and then Sam Donald the competitor wakes up and ends

51
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: up winning the a wild one, and I apologize. We're

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: not really gonna get into that. We're not gonna get

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: into the Puka nakua. I just think he's too dumb.

54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't know I'm Jewish. Again, There's there's plenty of

55
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: anti anti Semitism up there. I didn't view that as

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: anti Semitism. I view that as somebody doing something which

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: people want. People are looking for the gotcha moment. He's

58
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: it's not worth it. It's not worth it. So there

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: are other things to get to. Tonight. You have a

60
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: football game in Norman, Oklahoma, which I am fascinated by

61
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: and I love again. I would love. Matter of fact,

62
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it in my final radio show here

63
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Trade. I'm gonna tell you listen to

64
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: Steven A. Smith talk about the outcome of this football

65
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: game and saying that, you know, if Alabama doesn't win,

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: they should get rid of their coach and he should

67
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: go to Michigan. When you don't know anything about college

68
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: football is the worst part of this business. Yesterday, I

69
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: had the day off because I traveled from Green Bay

70
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas to recruit in a junior college event,

71
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the Tarcanian Classic, which is at the Orleans Arena, and

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: so I had about three hours to myself and I

73
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: sat down at a at a bar, and I was

74
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: watching first take and get up and watching first take

75
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: and then talk about college football. I wanted to stab

76
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: my eyes out. That's what I wanted to do, stab

77
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: my eyes out. And so it's part of those emotions

78
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: that leaving this show behind because I don't think I

79
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: know this is the best show on sports radio because one,

80
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: our personalities all work together too, we all actually kind

81
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: of like each other. And three we actually like and

82
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: care on different levels about sports, which is not how

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: it works otherwise. And we're not hot takers. We don't

84
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: say things that we don't believe and that we haven't

85
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: throw thought out and have reason behind it. And you're like, wait, wait,

86
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: this is your last show if you haven't found out

87
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday after the game and we had, I'm gonna just

88
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: say that's our best win since I've been at Green Bay,

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: and it's our best win, not because I mean, winning

90
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: on the road is more difficult. Winning at the US

91
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Virgin in the US Virgin Islands against really talented teams

92
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: like UMass and Iona was an incredible weightlifted office and

93
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: we played really, really well. We've done some other impressive things,

94
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: but Santa Barbara is outstanding. They're really good. Being at

95
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: home is important because those are the people that fund

96
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: your program. Those are the people that want to see

97
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: growth and success, and so beating a top one hundred

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: and fifty and really when healthy, they're a top one

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: hundred team like Santa Barbara was gigantic. Afterwards, I announced

100
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: that this would be my last year, or this would

101
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: be my last show with live radio. Okay, so just

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: to clarify, I'm still gonna do a podcast. I'm still

103
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna do my podcast, you know, the Doug Gottlieb Show podcast.

104
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: We will use the All Ball platform and iHeart has

105
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: been great and we're gonna work together on it and

106
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: there are no negatives there. But some of it is perception,

107
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and not that I care what people think, but the

108
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: people that matter, I want them to know green Bay

109
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Basketball is incredibly important to me. And you can't say

110
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: something's your dream job and then not be willing to

111
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: literally and figuratively give you all four it. The reality

112
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: to it is green Bay Basketball hasn't suffered the last

113
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: year and a half because I haven't worked hard enough

114
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: at it. I would say there are times in which

115
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 1: you guys have picked me up, which has been great,

116
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: and it's been all the other things in my life

117
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: which which suffer. It's just hard when you're trying to

118
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: be a show which is knowledgeable and not say things

119
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: that you don't know to be true. It's one of

120
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: the things that Jason and I get into all the time.

121
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Jason's like, well, you never go like all in on

122
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: some things you're kind of wish about, and I'm not.

123
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm The reality is the world is gray more than

124
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: black and white. Even though sports TV, sports radio, political

125
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: TV once you think it's black and white. It's left

126
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: and right and it's not. So we'll talk about it

127
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: some more. But I was thinking about this. Sports radio

128
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: has been the theme music to my life. Theme music

129
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: to my life. I was born in Milwaukee, lived there

130
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: till U six, moved to southern California, and every summer

131
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: we would return to New York City. My dad was

132
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: in New Yorker, grew up in the Bronx, moved out

133
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: to the island when he was fourteen years old, and

134
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: he would rent a car and he was like the

135
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: only human being that would like to drive in New

136
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: York because he was in New Yorker. And he would

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: turn on wfa N, which had Imus in the morning

138
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: and it had Mike and the Dog in the afternoon,

139
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: and he loved it. I would listen to Angels Talk

140
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: after Angels games and call in when I was in

141
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: high school. When I was in high school, I started

142
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: listening to XTRA in San Diego AM six ninety and

143
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: in the afternoon they had Lee Hacksaw Hamilton. For the

144
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: next couple of hours, I want to talk sports with

145
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 1: you from Poway to Escondido, all the way up to Temechilla,

146
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Valley for the next couple of hours. This is your

147
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: home for sports, right that is Lee Hacksaw Hamilton. And

148
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: at night. At night there was a show called The

149
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: Jim Rome Show and they was wild and they would

150
00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: do drug tests Tokanukua for his hosts continue a posts

151
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: would have gotten a drug test which had a ping

152
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: and a cup sound in the background, and you know,

153
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: raiders sucked. Chargers rule good night Now was part of

154
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: the vernacular to anyone who watched that show. I remember

155
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: when Jim Rome got picked up nationally and I think

156
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Denver was his first affiliate. Like this is how I

157
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: grew up. And so when I was in high school,

158
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: my dad was my AU coach and he would pick

159
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: me up from school and we'd have to go pick

160
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: up players for practice because their parents couldn't do it,

161
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: and we had to find guys where no one else

162
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: found them because we just didn't have enough players living

163
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: in Orange County to compete on a national basis in

164
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: AU basketball. And I would have my homework and he

165
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: would be listening to either Sports Radio XTRA or he

166
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: would listen to old cassette tapes of old time radio,

167
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: The Jack Benny Show, Burns and Allen, you name it.

168
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: So when I got to Oklahoma State my first year there,

169
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: we were thirteen and zero, we were getting ready to

170
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: play in Nebraska with Tyron lu and Nebraska was a

171
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: pathetic road team, and they asked me. Will Hancock, our

172
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: late sid, came in and asked me during shoot around, Hey,

173
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk to you. What radio show do

174
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: you want to do? Jay Stu, do you know what

175
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: radio show I want to do?

176
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

177
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: Boy?

178
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 5: The Jim romeshow.

179
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Correct because the year before, when I was sitting out

180
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: at Golden West College, Toby Bailey, who I had grown

181
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: up playing against, was his college basketball insider, and I said,

182
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: tell Jim, I want to be his college basketball insider,

183
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: and we lost to Nebraska. Coach was so pissed. I

184
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: didn't get to do any of the interview until the

185
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, and then I told Jim I wanted to

186
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: be his college basketball insider. I was the next year.

187
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: I was the next year. And then Eric Chenowith, who

188
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I'd grown up with also in Orange County Villa Park

189
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: High School, who also grew up listened to the Jim

190
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: Rome Show he wanted to be on and we would

191
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: go back and forth in different spots while on Jim

192
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: Rum Show. I've been doing this for a long time

193
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: and this will be an emotional two hours for me.

194
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I hope a good listen for you. I'm gonna tell

195
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: you how I've made it in this business. And there

196
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: really is only two things you truly truly need, and

197
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: then one other thing that I don't think most of

198
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: you will be able to get. And I'm sorry for that,

199
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: but I'm not sorry because I worked really hard for it.

200
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: But for the next two hours, we're gonna do. This

201
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: is my radio life. And it started in Orange County

202
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: and it started listening next Tora and started to listening

203
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: to Hacksaw and Rome and the other way it part

204
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: it started was in nineteen ninety six through ninety seven.

205
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: I sat out at Golden West College and my high

206
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: school coach my first year was Tom McCluskey. He took

207
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: the Golden West job and so I went there and

208
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: I red shirt essentially practiced with the team, and on weekends,

209
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: my old high school girlfriend lived up at Santa Barbara

210
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: and my brother was in San Luis Obispo at cal

211
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Poly's first job, and so I would go up and

212
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: stop in on the way to San Luis Obispo and

213
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: see his games, usually on a Saturday night and on

214
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Sunday night, I would drive home and the first show

215
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: at ESPN Radio was a night Sunday night show. It

216
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: was called Game Night. It was called Game Night, and

217
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: I think our show is the best now. The best

218
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: show at that time that I remember was Game Night

219
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno and Chuck Wilson. Tony Bruno and Chuck Wilson,

220
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: and I would drive home on the one oh one

221
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night and listen to these guys from Bristol, Connecticut,

222
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, Man, I'd really like to

223
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: do that. Fast forward to two thousand and three and

224
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: I got an opportunity to work at ESPN ESPN Radio.

225
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: My first show for the first three years I was

226
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: there was Game Night. My co host was the most

227
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: prepared man I've ever worked with, ever seen, ever happened

228
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: upon in the history of the medium. His name is

229
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: Chuck Wilson. He joins us now here on the Doug

00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: To join you today.

234
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: Game night way back when. What was it like, not

235
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: with me, with Bruno and those guys, what were those

236
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: shows like?

237
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 6: It was amazing. I mean, you're talking about a seven

238
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 6: hour talk show and we do it Saturdays and Sundays, right,

239
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 6: seven hours.

240
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 3: Here's the kicker. We didn't take.

241
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 6: Phone calls, so you're talking for seven hours. They'd be

242
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 6: three in the booth and be Tony and me, and

243
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: then we had kind of a rotating Peter ben Brown

244
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 6: was there for a period of time. They rotated in

245
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 6: TV people. Keith Oberman and Mike Jerico were Saturday and

246
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 6: Sunday when we first started out, but we rotated people

247
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 6: for a long period of time. I ended up working

248
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 6: with over I think over two hundred co host at

249
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 6: one time or another. But yeah, I mean, the cool

250
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 6: thing about it was we had access to all of

251
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 6: the ESPN talent, and the name, the good.

252
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: Name of ESPN got us a lot of interviews.

253
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 6: On the very first weekend we broke the story of

254
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 6: Danny Tartible to the Yankees through Keith Overman, Who've got

255
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 6: a tip on it, and so here it is this

256
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 6: fledgling you know, weekend network goes on the air and

257
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 6: immediately breaks uh, you know what was a very national

258
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 6: story that night. So that was pretty cool stuff. But yeah,

259
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 6: it was good. But I got a couple of stories

260
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 6: that i'd like to tell about you that are off

261
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 6: the air actually, and when we talk about being on

262
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 6: the air, because I really enjoyed working with you, as

263
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 6: you know, and I'll just say to folks, you know,

264
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: when you're working with somebody and they know what they're doing,

265
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 6: and especially obviously in hoops and in college football NFL,

266
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 6: you know.

267
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: Doug Reley knew his stuff.

268
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 6: And what I enjoyed was watching somebody who only had

269
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 6: surface knowledge make the mist of challenging Doug. Okay, now

270
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 6: here's the thing. Doug loves to debate stuff and he's

271
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 6: very good at it, right, so you'd better bring your

272
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 6: a game, especially if it's in a subject that he

273
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: really knows.

274
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 7: Okay, I mean he really knows.

275
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 6: But it would be fun because people just you know,

276
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 6: he'd knock him down the side. I mean, you saw it.

277
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: But I just want to go to two thousand and

278
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 6: four because we had Doug over the house, all right,

279
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 6: and we had, first of all, we had expanded our driveway,

280
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 6: put in a half court. We have a three point

281
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 6: line of had all the lines on and so forth,

282
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 6: the line based line and so forth. Right, And we've

283
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 6: got three boys, and our middle son is Matt. So

284
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 6: first of all, I'll tell you Matt's fourteen years old, okay,

285
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 6: and he and Doug are playing Madden, right, and my

286
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 6: son is just beating up done. Just my son is

287
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: up thirty points in the fourth quarter. But my son's

288
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 6: also fourteen years old, and he's a huge Michael Vick fan.

289
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 6: Now you would think, as he jokes about it today,

290
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 6: you would think that, you know, you might want to

291
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 6: run the ball. You know, you got Michael Vick. You

292
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 6: just no, Matt is going to pass. And Matt was

293
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 6: stubborn Michael Vick. Well, Doug got maybe the fourth quarter,

294
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 6: came back from thirty points at the bet, which was

295
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 6: pretty funny at the time.

296
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 7: The other story that's in this, though.

297
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 6: Is that I think everybody knows what an outstanding player

298
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 6: Doug was.

299
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: In high school.

300
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 6: Okay, he shared most outstanding Player award in high school

301
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: for the state of California.

302
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: It was one Paul Pierce.

303
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 6: Okay, sometime's really good.

304
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 7: So when he went to Oklahoma State, and I'll never.

305
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: Understand why coaches tell kids telling people don't shoot them.

306
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 6: You know, we don't want we want you to distribute,

307
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 6: We don't want you to shooting the ball. Well, Doug

308
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: went from you know, being somebody who had the confidence

309
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 6: to score and really could shoot too. Frankly, I think

310
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 6: you'd agreed, Doug. I mean, got to the point where

311
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 6: even free throws were a challenge. All right, yes, But

312
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 6: I want you to tell you that in two thousand

313
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 6: and four, Doug came to our house play a little basketball.

314
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 3: Out there.

315
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 6: They're shooting threes, right, And I swear to you that

316
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 6: because I confirmed this with Matt today, you know what

317
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 6: was the exact number? Doug Gottlieb made twenty seven straight

318
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: threes on an outdoor court.

319
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: That that sounds like a windy I'll tell you mine

320
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: real quick, Chuck, before we go, I got two things

321
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: for you. One, you want to talk about a twenty

322
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: six year old you made it moment. It was the

323
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: twentieth Anniverse, twenty fifth anniversary of ESPN, and we did

324
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: a show from the ESPN Zone of New York City,

325
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: and it was me and Chuck Wilson and we started

326
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: the show. To my left was Ozzie Smith, to his

327
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: right was Richard Petty, the Wizard and the King. And

328
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going what am I doing here? Right?

329
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: What am what? Am Wait? So it was and you

330
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: had been doing it forever. Knew everything about everybody. But

331
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: I need I need a thirty second dissertation. Pete Rose

332
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: passed away, right, not so tragically. Not a good person. Sorry,

333
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: that's just the reality to it. Okay, For people who

334
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: believe that Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame,

335
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: the officient out of The only person you need to

336
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: listen to is Chuck Wilson. He's the only person I

337
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: know that can quote chapter and verse the Dowd Report

338
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: knows all the truth about what has been investigative Pete Rose.

339
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you, Chuck right now. Should Pete

340
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: Rose be in the Hall of Fame?

341
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: Well as as a player? He should not.

342
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 6: But it will happen because people have, you know, short.

343
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: Memories, and.

344
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 6: You know some of the vices that have been poppened

345
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 6: up over time and so on. Here's the thing that

346
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 6: really bothered me about Pete Rose. You know, Pete never

347
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 6: really came clean. Peter Rose had a photographic memory. Okay,

348
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 6: he I mean, he could quote from you know, at

349
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 6: bats and games and exact situations.

350
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: All right.

351
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: When he writes in his book that he really can't

352
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 6: remember the first time he plays the bet professional, I

353
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 6: can tell you why he can't remember, because he was

354
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 6: a player manager and he never wanted to admit that

355
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 6: he bet on baseball as a player manager. As a manager.

356
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he came clean on that.

357
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 6: I am convinced that he didn't want to say that

358
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 6: he bet as a player manager because he thought it

359
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 6: would hurt his chances to get into the Hall. And

360
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 6: had an interesting sideline to this Doug. About two months ago,

361
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 6: I met John Dowd for the first time. He lives

362
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 6: out in the Cape Cape Con, Massachusetts. And it's a long,

363
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 6: kind of a long story, but I went to a

364
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 6: fundraiser for the Rotary Club and there was a guy

365
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: that he actually lives next door to John Dowd. I

366
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 6: went out and I met John Dowd. John Dowd really

367
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 6: did a very honest report on Pete Rose and for

368
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 6: Pete to have ridiculed the individuals, you know, the commissioner

369
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 6: and John Dowd and the whole three stooges thing and

370
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 6: lied and lied and lied for years. Was really really unfortunate.

371
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: I was always cast as the bad guy that you know,

372
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 6: I'd always have to be the foil and say that

373
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 6: I didn't believe petecause.

374
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: Of course I didn't.

375
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 6: All the evidence is just clear that he had bet.

376
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 6: But you know, and that really bothered me because I

377
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 6: was Pete Rose growing up. I was I love the

378
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 6: hustle stuff, right, and so effort attitude are really big

379
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 6: to me, and so it was a big disappointment. But

380
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 6: that's the backstory if you want to put him into

381
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 6: the hall because you don't think gamblings, you know, I mean,

382
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 6: everything's you know, we're putting gambling in different category today. Okay,

383
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 6: but just remember this guy bet on baseball. He did

384
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: it as a player manager and you know people said, well,

385
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 6: you didn't bet against his own team. Well, every time

386
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 6: you didn't bet on your team or you did that,

387
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 6: maybe as a player, you're maybe you're putting your closer

388
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 6: out there for three straight days and you really.

389
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: Shouldn't have type things.

390
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: So no, I would not, But you know that's my feeling.

391
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 6: He'll he'll you know, that's he'll get in.

392
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: Because of time changes things.

393
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 6: But I don't believe you should Jack.

394
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: You taught me so much, and you were always so

395
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: graceful with how you taught me, And when when you

396
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: didn't come back, you never took it out on me

397
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: or on our friendship. And I just honored to share

398
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: a studio and learn so much from you. I appreciate you.

399
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate you and and and I never got to

400
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: the level of preparation that I didn't have the chuck

401
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: wagon ever you set you set up, You set a

402
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: bar for everybody to get to that that none of

403
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: us could really climb.

404
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 6: Well, that's nice you to say that.

405
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 7: Let me just say this that, uh, you just.

406
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 6: You wanted to keep improving. Uh and you did uh

407
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 6: an engaging conversation and doing solo shows something I.

408
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: Can't do very well, and there aren't.

409
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 6: That many that do it well, and you've done it

410
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 6: really well for quite a while. I thoroughly enjoyed playing

Speaker 3: Year with you, going back and forth.

413
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 6: Sometimes the third person in could be a.

414
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: Little difficult, as we both know, but uh no it was.

415
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,280

Speaker 1: And I've taken one quasi journalism class in my lifetime, Damnpyre,

445
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: and that one was at Golden West College, Golden West College.

446
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: But I wrote for the school newspaper at Golden West College.

447
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: Guess what I wrote about.

448
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: The school newspaper at Golden West College, which I've done?

449
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: Where is it?

450
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Heind the beach Hullington.

451
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: I don't know the the baseball team.

452
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: Right.

453
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: One would think, Okay, I grew up playing sports. I

454
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: love sports. I want to talk about sports. You would

455
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: think I would cover sports, right I was. I did

456
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: food critique. I did food critique. Take a guess why.

457
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 2: Nobody else would do it?

458
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't help and why free food?

459
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: Free food? Oh, free food makes sense?

460
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: Free food because I am low budget. I'd ask anybody

461
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: who knows me, like man, open up that wallet. Now

462
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm better now, obviously we're gonna this was just gonna

463
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: take a little hit with this one here. But the

464
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: point is I'm a free food. The fact that you

465
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: ordered pizza today is great. I did. I went to

466
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: the wallet but it was that it was the look

467
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: you not really going to the wallet thing, but thank

468
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: you for the pizza.

469
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: In advance Doug's third review of In and Out this

470
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: Week on the school newspaper.

471
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: But I made a friend in that class. He was

472
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: a football player, and then he didn't play football. He

473
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: went to Kansas so remarkably he goes to our rival school.

474
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: And while at Oklahoma State, my college roommate's girlfriend was

475
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: at KU, so we would go up and back there

476
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: sometimes and he would come down for a lot of

477
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: the big games. Fast forward to two thousand and two

478
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: and I had just gotten home from playing in Israel,

479
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: and I was filling in at WWLS, the Sports Animal

480
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City, and I want to fill in because

481
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: Jim Travor, the afternoon host, was the color voice for

482
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks and they were good then, and so he

483
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: was off there lots of times in the summer and

484
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: I would fill in. And I got a call from

485
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: Brandon after doing a show and he's like, hey, Dan

486
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: Steer from ESPN's trying to get a hold of you.

487
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: And I didn't have a cell phone at the time.

488
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have an email address outside like mail and

489
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: I didn't have an extension at the studio because I

490
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: wasn't full time. Brandon was the guy responsible for me

491
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: getting an interview to do college basketball at ESPN, and

492
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: Brandon was my first producer when I got my first

493
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: show two thousand and two till two thousand and three

494
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: at wwwis's Sports Animal. He joins US now from Denver,

495
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: where he covers the Broncos. He also has his own

496
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: podcast network BK. What did you write about for the

497
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: school newspaper.

498
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 8: I didn't write for the school newspaper. I was in

499
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 8: the football offseason program, so I was just in that

500
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 8: class with you. I think I might have written one

501
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 8: article as like part of an assignment, but I didn't

502
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 8: get published in the school newspaper. And I'd been writing

503
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 8: in Dallas as a kid and was published in the

504
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 8: Dallas Morning News, where I would write articles about wrestling

505
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 8: tournaments that I was in, so I wouldn't quote myself,

506
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 8: but I would quote my teammates and my coach, and

507
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 8: would write features about some of my friends who played

508
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 8: football and went on to play college football. But yeah,

509
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 8: I didn't write at Golden West. I did know, though

510
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 8: that I met you, that you know one day. You

511
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 8: would work at every single major sports radio network, and

512
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 8: you know, beyond March Madness coverage with Charles Barkley and

513
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 8: Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson and Greg Gumbele. So I

514
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 8: got that sense when you know when we were fresh

515
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 8: I guess I was a freshman, you were sophomore. But

516
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 8: I was eighteen nineteen, you were nineteen twenty. I was like, oh,

517
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 8: this guy's going to be something.

518
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: My strongest memory of our show at night because I

519
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: did the middle of the day's show with Mark Rogers

520
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: right the mod squad, and then we had the nightly.

521
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: We did a basketball show at night. Remember guys, we

522
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: did a basketball show in Oklahoma City at night in

523
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Now, right now, a basketball show

524
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: at night in Oklahoma City is great. Back then, there

525
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: were only three sports covered in Oklahoma City radio, football,

526
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: spring football, and recruiting, and really was Ou football, Spring

527
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: football and recruiting.

528
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 8: Can I can I guess? Can I guess your strongest

529
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 8: memory because it Lamorrow is the scent of marijuana from

530
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 8: Lamarrow to we.

531
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: We had he somehow Brandon has the unique ability to

532
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: know everybody and to get into any room. There's never

533
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: been an event that I've gone to that he wasn't

534
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: able to get into, usually before I could, and I

535
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: was invited and had a ticket, and oftentimes he did not,

536
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: so he had I don't even how did you. I

537
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: don't even know how you knew lamar Odom. But lamar

538
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: Odom was early on in the NBA. He was, he

539
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: was on my radio show, and he could not have

540
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: possibly been more high, otherwise he would have been in

541
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: a coma. That's my shortest wimbor.

542
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 8: What weird is, if I were to guess how I

543
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 8: knew lamar Odom, it'd be through a friend who I

544
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 8: met after working at the Sports Animal, which why it

545
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 8: makes why why it makes less sense. So it had

546
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 8: to be through a third party, somebody that knew him

547
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 8: along the way, because my friend Jonathan Grunfast, I worked

548
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 8: with the Serious when you went on to ESPN full time.

549
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 8: I took a job at Serious Report Serious XM as

550
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 8: it was getting off the ground, and my buddy Jonathan,

551
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 8: who worked there in a WFN was was the manager

552
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 8: at Rhode Island and lamar had to set out that

553
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 8: first year. So you driving back to Queens But so

554
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 8: I don't know how we got Lamar lm On. That's

555
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 8: one that I could rack my brain for hours. And

556
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 8: I'm not really sure, but it's certainly the most memorable

557
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 8: that And I remember playing a lot of pickup basketball

558
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 8: and this guy tried to tell us he played at

559
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 8: Portland or Portland State, and of course we did the research.

560
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 8: He didn't, and he kept calling you a radio DJ.

561
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 8: And then you hit us three to win the game.

562
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 8: And you had just gotten back from playing in Europe

563
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 8: and you said, and he's like, okay, come on, mister DJ.

564
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 8: And you hit the shot. I sound like Chuck Wilson

565
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 8: now telling these glory day stories. But you hit the

566
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 8: shot to keep winning or maybe end the day. And

567
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 8: and you go and professional basketball player mf for check

568
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 8: the resume. And I was like, that's a good line.

569
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 8: Check or he said, check the resume mf For. I

570
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 8: was like, that's a good line.

571
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

572
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: Most times now I just do. Hey, hey, Bud, this

573
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: is the lowest point of my basketball career. Of the

574
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: high point, of course, let's let's just let's just let's

575
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: just get this thing over with. Was that at the temple.

576
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: We played a lot of pick up basketball at the

577
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: Temple in Okla.

578
00:31:59,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: Might have been at the church.

579
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 8: We played with Kelly greg the longtime nose tackle for

580
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 8: the Sure for the Ravens with his brother, So I

581
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 8: think that was at the church. We had about three runs.

582
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 8: We had want up a temple where that was not

583
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 8: much fun for you except for cardio, and then we

584
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 8: had a couple of church runs Mark Rogers Addison one

585
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 8: and yeah, it was no. That was definitely at the church.

586
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 8: That was not at the temple.

587
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: The church run was where I met my first bookie.

588
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: And I actually asked, you, why are they giving that

589
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: guy money. They're like, he's a bookie. I was like,

590
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: they exist in real life. He's like, yeah, there's a

591
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: bookie everywhere I had. I had no idea. I had

592
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: no idea.

593
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 8: Well, then then you moved to the East Coast and

594
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 8: they really existed everywhere, and now they're just on your phone.

595
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: Correct, listen, we got we got to run. I wanted

596
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: to have you on and tell you I appreciate you.

597
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 8: Well, I appreciate I appreciate you because you did help

598
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 8: me get my first radio job. And then when you

599
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 8: went to CBS and I went up there to interview

600
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 8: at CBS Sports Radio, you told me not to take

601
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 8: the job, and to say in Denver, I took it anyway.

602
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,560

00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 8: of Colorado in my seven year old Leo, who went

00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 8: to Allen Field House a lifelong Jayhawks fan because of

610
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 8: his dad, because it's my alma mater, and left a

611
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 8: fan of the opposition, which almost never happens. I have

612
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 8: to think when a kid goes to a school or

613
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 8: goes to Lawrence to watch a game at allen Field House,

614
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 8: so he's always asking how you're doing it, and he's

00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 8: very excited that you are six dash seven right now.

616
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 8: So I said, there's gonna be a lot more wins

617
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 8: than that, though.

618
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: In the last one, that's funny. When I walked out

619
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: allen Field House, I put on a Kansa sweathirt. I

620

00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: What's it take to make it? Well? You gotta have

632
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: work at you gotta be willing to work when other

633
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: people are not. That's that's that's really it. I was

634
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: very fortunate to not have to grind the way that

635
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: Dan Beyer did early on coming up because being a

636
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: former college basketball player and a fairly notable one, I

637
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: got a really good shot in Oklahoma City, making way

638
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: more money than you normally do in your first radio show,

639
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: and then I was on like a rocket rocket ship

640
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: to go to ESPN a year later. But I do

641
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: think that it's when you do a radio show, a

642
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: TV show, when you do anything. Now, coaching a college

643
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: buss team, staff is everything surrounding yourself with really good people.

644
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: I came here eight years ago. Ryan Music was my producer.

645
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know Ryan from Adam. What do you remember

646
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: Ryan about when we first started linking up and working.

647
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 9: I will tell you, Doug, it was a great pleasure

648
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 9: to get to work with you and launch the show.

649
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 9: And one of my favorite things about you was, after

650
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 9: being your producer and only knowing you for about three months,

651
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 9: you traveled to Israel to coach the Jewish national team

652
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 9: and you asked if I could drop you off at

653
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 9: the airport. I said, no problem, that's not an issue.

654
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 9: And then as we arrived at the Burbank airport, you said,

655
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 9: all right, here's my Tesla and have fun for the

656
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 9: next three months. And I was like, okay, I guess

657
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 9: I have myself a brand new Tesla for the next

658
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 9: month or so.

659
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: While you were in Israel.

660
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I got Greg, you said you said it

661
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: shakes it one twenty I was like, dude, easy, now

662
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, it shakes it one twenty on what's

663
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: going on there?

664
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 8: Yeah?

665
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 7: Oh me either.

666
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 9: I thought Elon had this whole thing figured out with

667
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 9: aerodynamics and rocket ships, but hey, no, listen, tug it

668
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 9: was nothing but a pleasure, and obviously the great people

669
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 9: of Green Bay have a good one and know that

670
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 9: you'll only do great things as you lean into this

671
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 9: book and purduce the building.

672
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 6: A great program.

673
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: Here's the big question we want to ask, Hey, you're

674
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: now Collins producer. Do you take his picks as we

675
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: do and bet the opposite? Do you fade all of

676
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: his picks in his blazing five? If so, you would

677
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: be a multi millionaire right now for this year.

678
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 9: Well, Doug, the fact that I am still Collins producer

679
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 9: if that map checks out, probably not actually the case.

680
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 9: It's kind of like if you'd won the power Ball,

681
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 9: you'd probably never seen me again.

682
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: So well, listen, from humble beginnings, you've become a star

683
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: from ce Sun as a volleyball player to my producer

684
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: now living in Chicago, living the high life, doing volume

685
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: stuff and calling stuff. Congratulate said everything, and thanks for

708
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: a little break from this, and I'll still do a

709
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: pod podcast, just do it, you know, off business hours,

710
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: do it from my house. And that's been really successful,

711
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: really well received, and I love the long form aspect

712
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: of it, and I'll get into that probably sometime here

713
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: this hour. So we got one hour left, and Jason

714
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: Stewart's like, dude, dude, this is your radio life. So

715
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: I am kind of going out of chronological order a

716
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: little bit, and I'll I do want to explain why

717
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: sports radio means so much to me. I think I'll

718
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: do it now. My dad died eleven years ago, and

719
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, like anyone's dad, I would think again,

720
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 1: how I know is mine? He's complicated. There is things

721
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: that were great, there were things that weren't. But we

722
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: shared a love of sports, obviously basketball specifically, but my dad,

723
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: we love sports. We'd get up every morning and we

724
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: had the Orange County Register, the LA Times, Orange County.

725
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: He had the New York Post delivered to our house

726
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: even though it was three days late, and USA Today,

727
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: and then for that short period of time, wonderful time,

728
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: the National Sports Daily. Do you guys remember that? And

729
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: we'd have the newspapers out and we'd pass them around

730
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: and I would we'd look at box scores and talk sports.

731
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: That's what we did for breakfast and when we were

732
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: in the car, and then it became sports radio, and

733
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: uh to be on ESPN Radio and to hear the

734
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: pride in your father's voice is something that I can't

735
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: quite describe, but I think you all can hopefully understand, right,

736
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: hopefully understand. And it was it always amazing me because

737
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: my dad, he's that classic like Jewish parent where it

738
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: was like, well, maybe one day you'll have his show

739
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: as big as Collins, Like I have my own show on.

740
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: He has to me right like I'm doing okay, you know,

741
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: it was never quite enough, so there was always a hey,

742
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: that's great, but there's still more out there for you.

743
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: When I was at CBS Sports Radio, I took the

744
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: job two reasons. One I wanted to do the Final

745
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: Four and I wanted to move back to California. My

746
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: dad had had about with cancer, with skin cancer, and

747
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: I just I also thought I wanted to have a

748
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: life and I'll never forget. ESPN had offered me a

749
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: five year guaranteed contract worth way more like. It was

750
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: really interesting how they do business. They tell you six

751
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: in the months in advance they want to reup you,

752
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: like three months in advance, they lowball you, and then

753
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: it comes down the last wire and finally they get

754
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: to the number that they should have got to originally.

755
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: So they got to the right number. There was just

756
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: some things missing in it that I didn't like, and

757
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: then I would have had to I was at Foxwoods Casino.

758
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: I just a couple big casinos in Connecticut. Foxwoods is

759
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: the lesser known of the two, and husbands and wives,

760
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: and we all went out. The women were going to

761
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: a Sarah MacLachlan concert. The guys were just going to

762
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: go and throw the dice, have a good time. And

763
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm walking around the casino with one of my buddies

764
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: and he was like, Man, coach your girls in soccer,

765
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: first time ever. That was awesome. You should do it

766
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: next year. And I was thinking to myself that I

767
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 1: was doing four to seven radio and for five months

768
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: out of the year, I'd turn off the radio and

769
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: I'd walk down the hallway, I'd put on makeup and

770
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: a tie, and then I'd do TV until one in

771
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: the morning. It was great money, but my kids were

772
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: going to school age and I would literally never see

773
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: them for five months, and I would never see there.

774
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be there in the afternoon for you know,

775
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: eleven months, twelve months of the year. So when I

776
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: took the CBS deal, the idea was it was twelve

777
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: to three radio in California. I would do a nighttime

778
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: TV show at night to night, I'd have every afternoon

779
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: of my kids. Didn't work out as great as I

780
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: thought it would work out, and two years in they

781
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: moved me back to New York, where I did my show.

782
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: It was simulcast CBS Sports Network and CBS Radio, but

783
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: my dad was only live for those last I think

784
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: four months, and I was furious that they made me move.

785
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: I had the conversation with my boss, which I will

786
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: never forgive him for, was, Hey, could I just get

787
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: six more months out here? It's not great. It spread

788
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: to his brain and my boss said, you're Our business

789
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: with you is in New York. We're giving you more

790
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: money to move to New York. But it ended up

791
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: being a blessed because my dad saw me every day

792
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: for those four months when I was on TV, and

793
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: then we talk on the way home every night except

794
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: for the ninety past, and him seeing me reinstilled something

795
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: which I know to be true. Radio. Real talk radio

796
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: is a relationship. The people that are really good at it.

797
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: You know about their wives, their kids, their lives, what

798
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: they do, what they do on the weekend, not just

799
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: sports stuff. And many of you have been with me

800
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: for this ride the whole time, and I appreciate you

801
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: and we are friends. We just have never met in person.

802
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: Like there's a kid from with state of Wisconsin who

803
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: I wanted really, really bad. He went to a powerful school,

804
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: powerful school, and I'm friends with the dad, but the

805
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: dad doesn't do We didn't know each other, but we

806
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: knew each other because he'd listen to me on there

807
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: for years. We're still friends now. He turned us down,

808
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: went to a bigger school. It's all good, but it's

809
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: because radio is a relationship, and relationships are what business

810
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,959
Speaker 1: is about. You're never going to get in unless somebody

811
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: sticks their neck out for you. You're just not plenty

812
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: of guys that can talk sports. When I was at

813
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, I wanted to be on the Gym Rome Show,

814
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: but Rome was it was very sporadic. So on ESPN Radio,

815
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: the only show that would constantly book me was Todd

816
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: Right All Night. Todd Right all Night, and I was

817
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: the college basketball contributor. Todd's show was on overnight. It

818
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: was outstanding, and my first shot at national sports radio

819
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: was my first year out of college. I was at

820
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: home in between things. Excuse me. It was after I

821
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: played in Russia for a year and nine to eleven happened,

822
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: and so everything got pushed back overseas and I got

823
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: to get a I got a call from our next

824
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: guest who invited me to come up to Bristol, Connecticut

825
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: and host Todd Wright's show for two nights because Todd

826
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to fly to Bristol. And it was the

827
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: first weekend of sports being back after nine to eleven.

828
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: By the way, that first show, Dan Byer was the

829
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: day that Tom Brady had to play because Drew Bledsoe

830
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: got knocked out by the Jets. I was watching the

831
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: game at Sliders, which is a bar about two miles

832
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: from Bristol from ESPN, and all the Pats fans were

833
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: going Jets fans were going crazy. And on air that night,

834
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: this is mid November, Okay, mid November in two thousand

835
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: and one, I said, the Pats season is done because

836
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who couldn't even win the job full time

837
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: at Michigan, is now their savior. Oops, thank god there

838
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: wasn't freezing code tech cold takes the goods. Yeah. The

839
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: woman who stuck her neck out for me was Todd

840
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: Wright's producer she became my producer, executive producer, my boss,

841
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: My work wife. Luis Cornetta joins us now on The

842
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Luis, how are you.

843
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 10: Oh, that's Scottlieb, one of my favorite humans. I am great,

844
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 10: and I am enjoying reminiscing and hearing of the stories.

845
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 10: You have a better memory than I do, because I

846
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 10: forgot about the Tom Brady bit. You think I would

847
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 10: remember that, being a Bostonian, but yes, I remember. We

848
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 10: wanted you to come and join us shortly after. You know,

849
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 10: you were our college basketball expert for what you were playing,

850
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 10: but you had bigger dreams and wanted to continue playing basketball.

851
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 10: So off you went to Russia and other places, and

852
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 10: we were glad when you came back and you said,

853
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 10: I'm ready, And yes, we had you fill in, and

854
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 10: wasn't long before we paired you with people like Chuck

855
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 10: Wilson and other veterans on ESPN Radio. But you were

856
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,959
Speaker 10: so good we had to give you your own show.

857
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 10: The Doug Gottlieb Show was born.

858
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't at first the Doug Gottlieb Show, remember, Okay,

859
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: So it was it was game night for three years,

860
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: three to six, and then it was The Pulse, and

861
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: the Pulse was that it was seven to ten at night,

862
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: seven to ten at night, and then it became The

863
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: Pulse with Doug Gottlieb, and then I believe it was

864
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, Scott mess Teller came to my

865
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: house and said, how'd you like to have the show

866
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: named after you and do four to seven? And I said,

867
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: let's do it, let's roll.

868
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 7: Well.

869
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 10: I have some memories and I was thinking about you

870
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 10: a lot. And one of the memories I have is

871
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 10: there's a lot of qualities about you that I admire.

872
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 10: One of them is your work ethic. You are certainly

873
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 10: the son of a coach because you were very coachable

874
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 10: on air. You listened and were eager to learn. But

875
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 10: I remember your work ethic being so strong that, like

876
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 10: you were saying, you would do radios then go to television.

877
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 10: But I remember Hayes being born. He was born during

878
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 10: March madness, right, and and you you know did you

879
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 10: went to the hospital and then race to get to

880
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 10: be on TV that night because you didn't want to

881
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 10: miss it. And that was you. You would, you would

882
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 10: work yourself to the bone and Another quality I remember

883
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 10: about you that you still have is your fearlessness, and

884
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 10: it is probably the quality I admire the most about you.

885
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 10: You were not afraid to ask the tough question. I

886
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 10: remember a very cantankerous interview with the late Tommy LASFORDA

887
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 10: takes about in my mind. I don't remember what it

888
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 10: was about, but you were not afraid to ask the

889
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 10: tough question where other people wouldn't. But also what controversy

890
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 10: would find you. You were not shy to say, hey,

891
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 10: here's what happened, let me explain you. Would you know,

892
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 10: meet it head on? Most people would.

893
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 4: Try and hide.

894
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 10: Not you, And I think that's an incredibly admirable quality I.

895
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 7: Get.

896
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: I got my favorite story, my favorite story. It's a

897
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: sales story. You guys ready for this one? This is

898
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: a good one. So the way it worked at ESPN

899
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: when Louise would come in and she say, hey, sales

900
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: wants to know if you'll do a KFC KFC read uh,

901
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: And I said, I don't know, Louise. I'm doing I'm

902
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: doing this big P ninety X campaign. If I do KFC,

903
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that works. And You're like, look, ads,

904
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: don't run back to back, I said, how about this.

905
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: KFC at the time had grilled chicken, so I said,

906
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Can we do something about grilled chicken? Like,

907
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: I'll see what I can do. So that's like, I

908
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: don't know. Three months later I get a script and

909
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: basically it's like read this. So I read it, and

910
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing the P ninety X campaign. And back then

911
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: we had a screen with text messages. The text line right,

912
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. I'm at a break and we

913
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: don't hear all the everything that's running. But apparently back

914
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: to back was the KFC ad which was for the

915
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: double Down. Now, for people who don't remember the double Down,

916
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: the double down was a piece of fried chicken, another

917
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: piece of fried chicken, two pieces of bacon and cheese,

918
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: and a breadless sandwich, which was a cardiologist dream. Okay,

919
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: but if you're on trying to do P ninety X

920
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: a nightmare and at the end sales must have gotten

921
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: to put it or try it grilled like I like it, right,

922
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: And when I tell you, I got lit up on

923
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: the text line from people call me a hypocrite and

924
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: whatever it was. And no, I did not leak the

925
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: P ninety X pictures to sports Brooks that did not happen.

926
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: They did not. Those were internal pictures that that that somebody,

927
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: somebody liked. Louise, we got to go as you know

928
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: where I'm always, I always, I do have clock issues constantly.

929
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 11: Yes, okay, well then.

930
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 10: I'm gonna up in thirty seconds quick.

931
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: That.

932
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 10: The last thing I want to say is I remember

933
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 10: a pivotal one in your career with you would had

934
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 10: just become a dad and you were whether to be

935
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 10: like the cool young guy on the air or the dad.

936
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:30,880

937
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:31,960

00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: it's super fun? It really is, like I haven't actually worked.

979
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: I should do this all the time when I go

980
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: and speak to little kids at camp, like, hey, how

981
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: many of you guys love sports? How many guys talk

982
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 1: about sports? How many guys get paid to talk about sports?

983
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: And I'm like the only one with my hand up,

984
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: you know it's step So why And I think something

985
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: that's more perception, right, Like the reality is my basketball

986
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: team is better this year. And yeah, I've hired a

987
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: personal assistant, I've done some things to adjust my schedule

988
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. But can it be done? Of course

989
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: it can be done. There's a little bit of that

990
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: Chris Rock. You know, you can drive your feet your

991
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: car with your foot, But that don't make it a

992
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: good idea, right, so you can do it. Doesn't make

993
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: the bigger thing, though, is you gotta have a life, right,

994
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: You gotta have a life. And I'm still gonna be

995
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: doing podcasts. I'll still be doing stuff. I don't know

996
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: what to do with myself when I you know, when

997
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: you're just sitting around at home and we have the

998
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: podcast all set up, it's been doing well, and we'll

999
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: we'll adjust some things and you'll be able to see

1000
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: it on YouTube as well. But the point is that

1001
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: live sports radio is an incredible passion of mine. But

1002
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: my dream has always been to be a head coach

1003
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: Division Ben men's basketball, and I don't want I don't

1004
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: want to. Haven't got this opportunity to look back and go,

1005
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: you know what if in year two I hadn't taken

1006
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: a shot at seeing what it's like to not do

1007
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: a live show every day. I'll tell you there's a

1008
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: guy who we used to work with who walked away

1009
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: from this place, and he did so because he wanted

1010
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: to coach. He also wanted to see I think his

1011
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: daughter and son go to high school and be kind

1012
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: of a part of that process. And when you work,

1013
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: especially when you're in production in sports radio, you work

1014
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,479
Speaker 1: a lot. You do a lot more than on air talent.

1015
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 1: Does you make less money, You work way harder, You're

1016
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: way more important. John Ramos is that guy. He's also

1017
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: he walked away from Fox Sports Radio to work at

1018
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: his daughter's high school, but also coach softball, and he's

1019
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: coached baseball for his son as well. Just I want

1020
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: to be a dad, Ramos. How are you?

1021
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 8: I'm good, Doug.

1022
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 12: How are you doing?

1023
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm good. We won a game the other night, got

1024
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: a little chance, got it. That's some recruiting, got some sunshine.

1025
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: Headed back for one more game, here for a break?

1026
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: All good, all good?

1027
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 12: Yes, yes. By the way, it's hard to follow somebody

1028
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 12: who's who you tell them that you change their lives.

1029
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 3: So.

1030
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 12: Trying to follow that person like you changed my life

1031
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 12: and that's John Ramos.

1032
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: So sorry, sorry about that, wrong Ramos, if you changed

1033
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 1: my life as well? Ramos. There you go, There you go,

1034
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: there you go all part of the promos. Uh yeah.

1035
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: The best part about Ramos is and it's something that

1036
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: I've come to try and do even in my job now.

1037
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: And it's different when it's negative ten outside and we

1038
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: lost a lot of games last year. I've never I

1039
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: never saw you in a bad mood. How How how

1040
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: did you maintain that level of joy?

1041
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 12: I don't know. You know what's funny is even here

1042
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 12: at the high school. The teacher will go by and

1043
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 12: be like, you're always so happy. Why is that? Like,

1044
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 12: I don't know. I think it's just the way I am.

1045
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 12: I've always been that way since I was a kid.

1046
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 12: Never really had anything to be angry about. So I

1047
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 12: enjoyed doing radio for all the years I did it.

1048
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 12: I enjoy being here at the high school around the

1049
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 12: students and coaching softball, which this year I'm moving up

1050
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 12: to varsity assistant. Should be proud of me, Dug. I

1051
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 12: moved up from jav Divarsity assistant this year, coming up

1052
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 12: and guess what I'm teaching broadcasting and media and stuff

1053
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 12: and so today, so students gave me a plaque and

1054
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 12: stuff like that teacher and stuff. So it's been really great,

1055
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 12: and I know for you it's going to be wonderful

1056
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 12: as well.

1057
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 2: Does that plaque say sleepy John Ramos on it at

1058
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 2: the White House?

1059
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 12: It does wake up.

1060
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: Johnn You know why we had you on right.

1061
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 12: Because you thought I was one of the greatest techo

1062
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 12: directors you've ever had.

1063
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure that, and because we all just your laugh

1064
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: is infectious.

1065
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 8: It's literally right, just a little bit.

1066
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: Of not a little bit a lot, okay, a lot,

1067
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot.

1068
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 12: They get it here, but it's during lunchtime and nobody

1069
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 12: can hear it.

1070
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: O nobody.

1071
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 2: You know, there's been a lot of great things said

1072
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 2: about Doug in this last ninety minutes or so. I

1073
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: think John can attest to this. When someone says like

1074
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 2: Doug will take the shirt off his back for you,

1075
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: it's true because it actually happened with John Ramos one

1076
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 2: time you wore a NIKEO.

1077
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: Do you still have it?

1078
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 8: John, I still have that shirt.

1079
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 7: Dog.

1080
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 11: Every time I put it on, I Mike.

1081
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 12: I hope I can't take a picture with it because

1082
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 12: Doug will be like, hey, that's the shirt I gave wrong.

1083
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 3: Do you remember this?

1084
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 2: You were wearing a Nike Polo. John goes, I like

1085
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 2: that shirt, and I don't know what happened, but you

1086
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: just took it off and gave it to him. Yes,

1087
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: literally took the shirt off your back. Yeah.

1088
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 1: No't just say it. Live it. Don't just say John

1089
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: Worth the next day without washing it as well. It

1090
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: was crazy, John. One last thing walking away from radio

1091
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: to pursue coaching Worth.

1092
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 12: It You know I miss I missed radio a lot,

1093
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 12: I really do. It was my life, my career for

1094
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 12: thirty years.

1095
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 9: It just was so much fun.

1096
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 12: I just heard you say it doesn't even feel like

1097
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 12: you're working. It doesn't. And so yes, I do miss it,

1098
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 12: but I enjoy where I'm at right now. I enjoy coaching.

1099
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 12: I enjoy just like you're gonna. We're already doing it,

1100
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 12: but just gonna kind of pull that one hundred percent

1101
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 12: into it. And I think the boys or the growing

1102
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 12: young adults, however you want to call them in college,

1103
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,640

1120
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: final year at ESPN eventually joined me at CBS Sports

1121
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,760

01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: us now here on Fox Sports Radio. Cleugar, how are you?

1125
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 11: I'm doing great? Dog?

1126
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 3: How are you?

1127
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm good? I mean, you know, I'm getting nostalgic one

1128
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: because I'm old, and too because I'm I'm not going

1129
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: to be doing live Afternoon Drive, which you know you

1130
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: and I did together for for for six hours and

1131
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: took so seriously. I think what's most interesting is like

1132
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Jason Wooden, he actually has no idea about how my

1133
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: approach has changed and how differently he and I worked together,

1134
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to you and I work together in setting

1135
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: up topics. So Jason basically lays out the topics and

1136
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I just kind of go with it. I trust him.

1137
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: He's got good instincts. He knows and not that you don't,

1138
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: but you used to pitch him to me and guys,

1139
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we had knockdown, drag him out arguments.

1140
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 5: Do we not?

1141
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 8: We We absolutely did.

1142
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 11: Those are some of the most fun times though, Like

1143
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 11: you know, anytime we would get into it and like look,

1144
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 11: we would get heated sometimes and I owners remind myself,

1145
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 11: like this, like this is our job, right, We're just discussing,

1146
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 11: like what kind of sports to talk about on the radio,

1147
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 11: Like what could be better than that?

1148
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: And I'm going to apologize for the line that it

1149
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: was probably once a year I would say the line,

1150
01:01:53,760 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: it's correct? Is that the is that the due? Just

1151
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: think you could say a lot of time, No, that's

1152
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: not what we should do. We should do this. That's clearger.

1153
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: We should do this and here's why. And there's were

1154
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: good talking about what and I said, that's great. But

1155
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: you know what the show is called. You're like, no,

1156
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: what's the show called?

1157
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 4: This is the Doug Gottlieb Show Box Sports Dad, right.

1158
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 3: It is?

1159
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: That dog forgot it? So how you doing?

1160
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 11: Man, I'm doing I'm doing great. I'm following you from

1161
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 11: Afar and you know, I know that you've been getting

1162
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 11: nostalgic and I know that you're you know, I'm not

1163
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 11: going to say quitting the national radio scene. I'm going

1164
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 11: to say putting it on pause, because you know, you've

1165
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 11: had such a tremendous career and I'm sure.

1166
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 7: One day you'll be doing it again.

1167
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 11: But I just got to say that I am so

1168
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 11: thrilled that you've got this opportunity to chase your dreams

1169
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 11: and become a college basketball coach. I kind of went

1170
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 11: through the peaks and valley to highs and lows with you,

1171
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 11: and there were some times back when I worked with you,

1172
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 11: I was like, man, is he is he leaving me

1173
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 11: high and dry here? And you know, going to to

1174
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 11: become a coach at various states and you know they

1175
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 11: didn't come to fruition, But certainly glad that you got

1176
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 11: this opportunity.

1177
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Think about we've been friends long enough. You were a

1178
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: long suffering Atlanta Falcons, Georgia Dog, Georgia Bulldog sports.

1179
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 11: Fans still long suffering Falcons?

1180
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Yes, fine, Okay, Braves have won a World Series, Dogs

1181
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: won two national championships, might well win the third?

1182
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 8: Correct?

1183
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on their chances this year?

1184
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 11: I think that George's got as good a chance as

1185
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 11: any other team in the college football playoff, Right, Like

1186
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 11: I don't think. I don't think this Georgia team is

1187
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 11: as good as the ones that won the national title.

1188
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 11: And I don't really think there's any dominant team. I

1189
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 11: think people may have thought Ohio State was that team,

1190
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 11: but I don't think that they are. And so I

1191
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 11: think that it's a wide open field. Georgia gets to

1192
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 11: get to experience the first round by and I think

1193
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 11: that God's good as show as anybody.

1194
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it used to be. Listen, it used to

1195
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: be a yearly thing, guys where I mean the worst

1196
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: was the super Bowl? Right that was That was the

1197
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: lowest of I think that was lower than any other point.

1198
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 11: We did the show, the Doug Gottlieb Show in Houston

1199
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 11: for a full week when the Falcons were in the

1200
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 11: Super Bowl facing the Patriots. And I'm born and raised

1201
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 11: in Atlanta, and so I did everything. I tried all

1202
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 11: I could, pulled all the strings I could to try

1203
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 11: and stay for the game, because you know, the job

1204
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 11: work paid for us to be out there Monday through

1205
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 11: Friday and then the plane right home Friday after we

1206
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 11: were done at Radio Row. So I was like, I

1207
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 11: gotta change my flight. I got to try and book

1208
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,439
Speaker 11: additional hotel night and it's not cheap.

1209
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 3: You know.

1210
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 11: The week of the Super Bowl, I got to find

1211
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 11: a ticket into the game, and it was going to

1212
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 11: cost me a lot, an arm and a leg, and

1213
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 11: I decided, you know what, I'm just not going to

1214
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 11: do this. I'm going to go home and make sure

1215
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 11: that we're all buttoned up and ready to be. You know,

1216
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 11: the Monday after the Super Bowl is a huge day

1217
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,479
Speaker 11: in sports talk ratios. I'm gonna make sure we're dialed

1218
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 11: in and ready to go. And boy, was that one

1219
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 11: of the worst, you know, the worst sporting event I've

1220
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 11: ever watched as a fan. And I can't even imagine

1221
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 11: if I would have dropped out whatever it was five

1222
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 11: or ten grand to stay for that game and experience that.

1223
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: My lord, yeah, you might have left because you're you're

1224
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: a leave early guy too. You might have left when

1225
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: when the when the game was game was twenty twenty eight,

1226
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight to three.

1227
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 11: I am a leave early guy. And I kept telling

1228
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 11: my wife of like, we got this, We're gonna wait,

1229
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 11: We're gonna wait. You like, Adam, you're in Atlanta, sports fan,

1230
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,919
Speaker 11: you can't say that you know you've seen this before.

1231
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 11: I go, no, no, this time is going to be different.

1232
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 11: She like Adam, and she ended up being right.

1233
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 3: It was not different.

1234
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,840

01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,919
Speaker 1: we do. Me and you together at super Bowls five

1236
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: years in a row was magical because you would be

1237
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: tracking people down. Brett Favre stopped what he was doing

1238
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: and was leaving and came back in to do to

1239
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,919
Speaker 1: give us probably a half hour offset, and the two

1240
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: of us working together where you'd set them up and

1241
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: I'd knock him down and wouldn't know Who's coming up next,

1242
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: and still understand how to carry on a conversation and

1243
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: do these unbelievable interviews. It's the best we've ever been.

1244
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 11: I felt like I was in my element at Radio Row.

1245
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 11: And it's funny because I was giving the spot when

1246
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 11: you know, when Jason reached out tap me on, I

1247
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 11: would saying thinking about kind of some of our highlights

1248
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 11: in one of in terms of the interviews and that

1249
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 11: Radio Row in Houston. Do you remember who our final

1250
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 11: guest was of the entire week?

1251
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't.

1252
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 3: So.

1253
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 11: The Falcons are in the Super Bowl that week against

1254
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 11: the Patriots. We had Ark, We had Arthur Blank, the

1255
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 11: owner of the Falcons booked, and so the owner of

1256
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 11: one of the teams in the Super Bowl. That's a

1257
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 11: that's a great interview, right. I mean he was at

1258
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 11: Radio Row, but we had him and so he was

1259
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 11: on with you. We had the big stage because the

1260
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 11: show was on TV simulcast and all that stuff, So

1261
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 11: we had the big lights in the stage, and you're

1262
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 11: talking to the owner of the Falcons, Arthur Blank. And

1263
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 11: I look over and there's like a crowd of people

1264
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 11: kind of leaning on the stage. And I look over,

1265
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 11: and who's leaning on the stage. I assume you remember this,

1266
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 11: Mike Vick. Michael Vick is leaning on our stage. And

1267
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 11: I take my head set off. I jumped down from

1268
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 11: the little table I was at and I run over.

1269
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 11: I kind of grabbed his arm and I pulled him

1270
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 11: up on the stage and walked him over in the

1271
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 11: middle of you talking to Arthur Blank, like, here go

1272
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 11: former Falcons, you know, franchise quarterback. And obviously this is

1273
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 11: well after his arrest and incarceration and out of jail

1274
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 11: and al there's time of the Eagles and it's like,

1308
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Dan Byer's been here all eight of those years and

1309
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: probably ninety of the shows, and we today it's streamed

1310
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: live on YouTube, but we've since I moved to Green Bay,

1311
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: we have a zoom which you know could have been

1312
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: a livestream as well. And I told him this off air,

1313
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: and I'll tell hi an on air. Dan's like a

1314
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: calming influence on me. Right, He's so solid, so prepared,

1315
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: so knowledgeable, and just he has that calming kind of

1316
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: voice that honestly, when we when I press the zoom

1317
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: button and I can see him, I just I feel

1318
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: automatically better about the day in sports radio because I

1319
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: know that if I screw something up, he'll know it.

1320
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: If there's a fact that I need. He knows it,

1321
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: and he also is not afraid to speak his mind,

1322
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: and that's what this is supposed to be about. So

1323
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what the future of this portion. I

1324
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 1: don't have control over that, but I can tell anybody

1325
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: who's listening, including our bosses, if there's any ever somebody

1326
01:09:55,040 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: who deserves an opportunity to have a weekday show, it

1327
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,600
Speaker 1: is you, Danbyer, because you treat people well, that's important,

1328
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: but also you're prepared, you have an opinion, and you

1329
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: just have a great way of speaking in your intonation

1330
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: of your voice, the pacing of it, all of those

1331
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: things they just work. And I truly appreciate our time

1332
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: with the last eight years.

1333
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 2: Well I've appreciated, and it's very kind of you to

1334
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 2: say the eight years have gone by. I remember meeting

1335
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 2: you in the courtyard, but it wasn't the first time

1336
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: that I met you. Have told this story before. It

1337
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 2: was when you were doing the Great Outdoor Games for

1338
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 2: ESPR in two thousand and four and I was working

1339

Speaker 2: at an iheartstation in Madison. We were an ESPN affiliate

1340
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 2: at that time. You were with ESPN and you came

1341
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: over and we just chatted us up, and so I

1342
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 2: always had this impression of man, Doug Gottlieb's a good guy,

1343
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 2: just comes over shoots the bull. Never would have thought

1344
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 2: that thirteen, fourteen years later, whatever it would be, that

1345
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 2: we would form an eight year relationship, but travels here,

1346
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 2: there and everywhere, teeing it up. It's been an honor,

Speaker 2: been an honor to share the microphone with you for

1348
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:03,559

Speaker 5: don't know if I arranged it or if you just

1388
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 5: felt the need to call it to sell me a

1389
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,759
Speaker 5: little bit more. And I talked to it. Was nineteen

Speaker 1: Thanks Jay, to those of you who listened for the

1397
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: last twenty three years. You've been moving through basketball, different jobs, marriage, kids, divorce,

Speaker 1: now coaching. I appreciate your radio's relationship. Consider me your friend.

1399
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: If I said something to piss you off, is just

1400
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: because I thought your sports team of your player wasn't

1401
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: as good as some other sports teamer player. It was

1402
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: for the most part and never personal. And it's a

1403
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: pleasure you zoom out of your life and I'm not

1404

1406
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:04,559

Speaker 1: one men's head basketball coach. And you know, I don't

1408
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: know if this clears up more time to have a

1409
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: better life. I've worked Christmases, Thanksgivings, any holiday, anytime. I'm

1410
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: an never say no. Guy can't say you want something

1411
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: and go well, I want it on my time. Doesn't
