Scott 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:07.240 Van Pelt SportsCenter anchor, Monday Night Countdown host, golf host. 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.920 He's there on the call for ESPN's coverage of the 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.759 PGA Championship Round two starting at noon Eastern Van Pas 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.440 Good to talk to you. What's the atmosphere like there 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:19.800 outside of Philadelphia. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.160 Well, I please, if I may, from my heart, happy 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.720 birthday to you. My only gift is my presence. I 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.640 don't know that that's much of a president, but thank 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:36.360 you and happy birthday from Philly. It is carnage out here, man. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.280 I am shocked. It is so much more difficult than 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.679 we thought it would be. It's much windier than I 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.959 think anyone projected. The whole locations are tough. Guys are 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.160 backing up great. Then it's the sports fans in the 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.000 Philadelphia area are phenomenal. They're coming out and I think 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.520 throughout the weekend it'll only get more crowded and more voluminists. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.720 But right now it is a struggle for the best 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:58.200 in the world. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.320 Give me your dream match up on Sunday. What would 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:03.360 you hope to see? 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.280 I mean, when Scotty's in the mix, I think he's 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.880 the He's the the yardstick at the moment, and anyone 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.840 that from that zip code. I mean, it's hard to 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.680 stay rory now, just because he's so far out of it. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.600 After yesterday, although if he shoots a couple under, he's 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.959 still in the mix. But I mean, look, Scotty Rory 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.720 would be fun just because we've really never seen it 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.720 dan at this point. And that's the thing about golf, 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.320 you know, for years we tried to manufacture, Man, how 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.040 cool would it be of Tiger and Phil? Well, there's 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.040 one hundred and fifty six guys out here and there's 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.040 four days of your life and it's all got a funnel, correctly, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.520 But Scotty against any world class player would be fun 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.960 just because Scotty's been so consistently brilliant. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.359 Do you think or what has to happen for us 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.600 to root for Scotty to see his greatness the way 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:51.320 we did Tiger? 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:57.640 Totally different people, right, I mean, it's it's not Lebron 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.120 and Jordan because those are different eras, and I guess look, 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.600 Tiger and Scotty are different areas as well. But Tiger 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.000 made people feel and there was another electricity to him. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.840 There is a completely different feeling with Scotty. He's not emotionless, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.800 but he doesn't outwardly show it a lot. And so 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.639 I think that the respect for Scotty's greatness. I don't 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.880 know how you could withhold it at this point, but 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.880 I don't know that he plays in a way that 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.600 moves people to feel passionately about man. I can't wait 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.040 to watch it. I thought Paul McGinley of The Golf 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.800 Channel did an awesome job last night of describing Scotty's 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.880 first round about the technical brilliance of it. Well, he 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.280 shot sixty seven, and he just thought his way around 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:41.840 the golf course. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:42.040 You know. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.240 Tiger felt like he forever had that one shot right 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.040 Dan that would just make you jump up out of 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.960 your seat, And I guess Sheffler doesn't do that quite 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.520 as much. But I would just say that really comparing 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.160 anyone to Tiger is kind of a fool's errand because 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.040 he's singular, you know, he's the only one of him 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.000 that were likely to ever see in our life. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.960 Scheffler is like Pete Sampras in tennis. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.520 Perfectly said, you know, perfectly said, and and you know 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.960 Pete was an all time great. But I mean, did 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.720 he move people in the same way that maybe a 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.160 Federer did. Probably not. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.720 I think Deshambo if he had Scheffler's success and was 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:23.360 playing on tour Scheffler moves the needle or Deshambo moves 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.200 the needle. From the standpoint of you're like, oh wow, 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.240 and he's got personality attached to that as well. I 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.200 just don't know if we're going to see that anytime, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.680 certainly not seeing it this weekend there. But like his 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.240 future on the PGA tour is what in your opinion for. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.039 De Shambo, I don't know. I mean, the suggestion that 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.320 he could go be a YouTube player and then just 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.040 show up and play in the majors, I mean, I 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.080 don't That's just not a realistic thought. You have to 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.480 you have to be competitive, competitively sharp to come out 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.520 here and play the hardest courses in the world against 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.760 the best player the world. And you know your reference 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.320 to Shambeau. We saw I think the height of his 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.680 popularity when he won at Pinehurst and that was an 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.560 immensely popular victory and he hit a shot of a 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.120 lifetime to beat Rory there, and you know that that 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.960 to me was sort of his peak moment of power. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.680 And you could do that, be an influencer, be a 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.599 YouTube player, and I'm sure you could monetize that and 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.919 make a pile, but ultimately you you make your bones 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.760 in this game and your legend in this game being 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.480 a major championship player. And you know, he got off 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.719 to a horrific start, didn't play well with the Masters, 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.480 and missed the cut there with a with a triple 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:41.039 on the last on Fridays. So you know, I think 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.680 for your popularity to continue to ascend, or at least 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.960 maintain its place, you need to be part of the 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.920 weekend story in the biggest tournaments of the year. 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.320 I also wonder and watching the coverage yesterday with these greens, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.440 that there are fast greens and then there are greens 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:02.320 that are punishing, and these are you know, we've played Augusta, 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.000 and yes, those are challenging greens. They're nothing like some 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.120 of these other courses around the world. If they really 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.480 want to dress it up and say you're going to 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.080 be three under and win, Augusta doesn't want the Masters, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.960 doesn't want three under. They want birdies and eagles and roars. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.480 This the US Open, like they want to humbley a 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:23.279 little bit here. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:30.400 Yes, but I'm shocked, I mean legitimately shocked, because for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.680 I wander around out here with these you know, the 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.080 best in the world, which is it's so much fun, 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.599 right you get to see them and how they're going 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.320 to play this golf course. And they had driver wedge 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.400 into these greens and I thought, yeah, the greens are 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.919 really really challenging, and they could put the whole locations 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.440 in spots that would make it very difficult. But I 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.560 thought low was was in the offing, and so did 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.240 everybody else. All the players, all the folks you talk 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.720 to on the range are like, yeah, this is mid 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.080 teens or you know, literally like fifteen under is going 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.839 to win. Well is blown. And they have put the 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.720 whole location through two days in some spots that are 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.040 incredibly difficult. So it feels more like, Look, the weather 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.680 feels like the Open Championship, the leaderboard looks like a 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.720 US Open, and normally in the PGA you see him 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.360 go low. Now the weather could change, it could get warmer, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.560 and they could give him some more accessible whole locations, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.200 and I would think the PGA of America would because 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.440 I don't think they want to see, you know, the 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.000 best in the world that are really not able to 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.200 hit shots that are rewarded. That's I don't know who 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:30.880 wants to see that. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:31.480 Yeah. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.520 I always get that when somebody says, boy, I like 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.960 to see them struggle like we do, and I go, 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.600 I don't like watching you play, So why would I 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.880 want to see the great golfers play like that? 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.480 Right? And the thing about that, Dan, you know the 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.720 six or the ten or the eighteen handicapper that wants 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.800 to sit down, pop a beer on the couch. And 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.320 I want to see Scottie Scheffler shoot seventy eight. Buddy, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.120 if you played out here, you'd shoot one hundred and fifty. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:58.320 I promise you. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.360 Thanks for making some time. I know that you guys 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.200 are going to start at noon Eastern. Thank you again, Scotty, 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:04.960 have a good weekend. 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.800 Sincerely, man, happy birthday. Can continue success in everything. You're 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.920 an inspiration. I mean you've been in inspiration for years. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.840 If you'll let me say something kind to you, I 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.360 just appreciate your friendship and your kindness all these years, Dan, 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.000 you're the best. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.760 All those years I was trying to pry you away 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.160 from the Golf channel, I kept saying, Scotty, you're wasting 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.720 your talents there. Come on and you go, I got 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:32.080 a great gig here, and you did. But we're grateful 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.480 that you did come to the Mothership, my man. Thank 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.440 you all right, buddy at Scott van Pelt, he's on 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.520 the call for the Mothership the PGA Championship Round two 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.520 beginning at noon Eastern. Yeah, I would. I was trying 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.520 to recruit him. I was trying to recruit him. He 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.680 was like, I got a great deal, man, good gig. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:55.240 I'm in Orlando, I'm covering golf. Get a tan, don't shovel. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.400 So I said, yeah, you're right about all that, but man, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:08:59.880 we'd love to have you. Yes. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.520 I remember when you set it up for Van Pelt 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.920 to come up for a tryout or a test show, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.640 and you said to somebody I don't know, don't let 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:08.440 him out of the building. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.800 I know back then, I was recruiting for the Mothership. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:19.120 Oh yeah, oh, now this is a birthday gift.

You can't give me a 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.600 T shirt like Marmon did. Book of Maine Golf Course 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.240 and the Book of Maine Golf Courses at Todd gave 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.720 me the paperback.

Scott in Oregon, Hi Scott, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.240 what's on your mind today? 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:54.480 Hey? 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:54.760 What up? 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.200 VP? First time? Long time? 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.680 Five ten nice? Hey? 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.800 Just wanted to give you a birthday shout out, and 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.440 also too, it is my birthday. That's one of the 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.400 things ever since I've joined the show, it's been one 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.760 of my claims of fame with my buddy Cameron Henshaw, 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:17.040 so shout out to him. Three years ago. My wife, actually, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.080 I told her all I want for my birthday is 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.120 to call into the DP show. She has no knowledge 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.840 of the show really whatsoever except for having it in 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.640 the background, and I had a feeling what you might do. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.440 But she was on hold in her class. She's a teacher, 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:36.880 and you ended up hanging up on her because you're like, hey, hey, hey, Jessica, Hey, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.880 today is all about me. And then it was click 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.760 and it was the funniest. It was the funniest thing ever. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:47.040 And I still have that episode saved. So anyways, happy birthday. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.560 And I don't know if you want to share a 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.199 rectech grill with me for my birthday since we share. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:56.000 It, but no, I'm giving away a rectech grill coming 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.319 up here, Scott. But thank you for the phone call. 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.120 The Pursuit of Glory Hits High Gear, Thoroughbred Racing and 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.920 the Preakness Stakes Tomorrow. Coverage starts at for Eastern Live 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:14.120 on NBC and Peacock Fresh in Milwaukee. Hi Fresh, what's 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.080 on your mind? 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:15.800 What's up? 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:16.160 DP? 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.840 You know, I got to give you the biggest birthday 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.920 shout out. Thank you for everything you do. Brother. Also 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.680 to another shout out to the DAN next. So I 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.000 got a good question for you for your birthday. We've 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.760 been talking a lot of basketball, a lot of football. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.680 Is there amount rushmore for baseball? 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.079 Not recently that I've brought up on the show. I 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.800 think it's tricky with the steroids. I think it's tricky 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.640 where you put bonds in there? Can you put bonds 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:55.960 in there? Feels like you might leave out a generation 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.240 of players, you know, trying to sift through and say, yeah, 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.960 he was clean, he wasn't he was clean and then 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.120 he wasn't. Yeah, Pauline, let's say you went with Babe Ruth. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:12.080 That's obvious. Jackie Robinson impact obvious. Then you're down to two, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.720 and I think that's the hard two to fill. Ted 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.920 Williams and Joe Demaju and Willie Mays and Hank Aaron Well. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.600 Ted Williams is the greatest hitter of all time when 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:27.120 you factor in three years in his prime he was 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:32.360 at war and he was a fighter pilot. He wasn't, 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:37.080 you know, going laundry or mail room or meet and greets. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.319 These were three prime years. I think he had five 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.400 hundred and twenty one home runs. Let's say you just go, 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.200 we're going to attach thirty five home runs and put 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:54.240 it on his total easily. He was, and he wasn't fast. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.840 He was just I think the greatest hitter now. Pete 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.400 Rose has the hits Ted Williams had. He had, he 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.920 had average, and we took away three of his years 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:05.439 he was in service. 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.480 Yes, Mark, That's the crazy thing about baseball is that 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.360 Ted Williams is regarded as the greatest hitter ever, but 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.720 he doesn't have any World Series titles. And that's not 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.199 important where you're talking about the greatest baseball players ever. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.760 We don't know how many World Series Baby Ruth has 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:24.480 no bonds. Whoever, Well, we know bonds because he didn't 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.480 win any. But no one's holding that against him. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.080 No, No, they pulled the steroids against him. Correct, But fascinating, 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.040 fascinating player when you look at what he was to 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:41.320 what he became because he was like a whippet. He 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.160 looked like he was one hundred and fifty pounds, but 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:49.840 he was stealing bases, you know, all around great player, Yeah, PAULI. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.960 If you look at the baseball Mount Rushmore, the likely candidates, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.720 it's almost all guys before nineteen seventy five for various reasons. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.120 Shohil Tani has a chance. 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.000 Yeah, I think if he has four or five more 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.800 of these kind of years. Aaron Judge, if he has 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:13.080 four of these kind of years, maybe you gotta win though, Yes, Marvin. 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.360 Aaron Judge needs to win World Series and be on 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.720 the Mount rushmore of the Yankees. Yes, because when you're 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.880 playing for the Yankees, world series matter. We just talked 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.080 about World Series not mattering, but if if you play 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.200 for the Yankees, that matters. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.480 No, that's a great point of all the franchises. If 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.680 you're playing for the Yankees, I want to know how 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.480 many championships you have, yesh, Dylan, But I. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.880 Feel like in the same van with the Yankees, it's 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.120 like they're so rooted in their Yankee history. It's like 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.080 Aaron Judge could do a lot and no, he's not 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.680 gonna pass like Mickey Mantle and the Yankees. 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.200 You know, well, Luke Garrett, I mean the Yankees just 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.920 have I mean they built their own park out there, 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.080 a park within a park, just so they can honor 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:56.240 all their great players. Anything else, Dylan. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.520 Uh, I was actually gonna say something about Ted Williams. 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.720 I mean he had a season where he at four 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.240 oh six and he. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.320 Didn't sit out, he played the doubleheader. Yeah, he could 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.120 have sat down the second half the second game in 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.280 the doubleheader to Dipple four hundred yes, and he said, no, 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:16.280 I'm playing Teddy ballgame. Yes he was, Uh, all right, 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.120 let me take a break. Rich Eisen said, to join 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.479 us here in the man cave.

I'm like, why is 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.280 he even asking me this? And he described the Daily 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.199 Show to me and I'm like, sounds great. Man, like, 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.119 let's go do it if that's what make you happy. Honestly, 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.960 I didn't know him from Adam, so to recount that 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.679 story with him now you know about thirty years later, 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.080 not about it is thirty years later. That's what the 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:30.200 show's all about. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.760 You know. Have you reached out to Keith Oberman? 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.840 I have, indeed, and I try to interview him when 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.640 I was in New York recently, but schedules just didn't align. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.520 But he'll he's up for doing it. 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:43.240 Who else? 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.440 But that's this is just for the first season. I'm 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:50.119 just doing six just to get this ball rolling. But 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.840 I told you this, and this is you know, no surprise. 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.119 I mean, you're the only person I'd want to be 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:02.000 the first guest of this because of what you've meant 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.640 to me and what you did mean to me back then, 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.600 what you mean to so many people, and you know, 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:11.320 and I appreciate. 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.360 You doing it. The older I get, the better I 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.680 was though, Rich, is that what it is? I think so, 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.640 because you know when you're doing it. When we did 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.920 Sports Center, yeah, you're just trying to survive because it's 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.480 really really competitive. And I told people that. I tell 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:30.400 people that it was cutthroat. Oh yeah, like it wasn't. Hey, 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.920 we're we're rooting for you. You had people who were circling, 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:36.879 you know, the Sports Center set, waiting for somebody to 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:38.800 keel over so they could sit in the chair. 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.520 Well, and this is something that I plan on talking 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.040 with you later. I mean, when when Ko left and 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.439 your seat was open, it was on. I mean it 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.240 was way on for everybody wanted that seat next to 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.440
