He 32 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: could not have been any more willing to be part 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: of that. Not only that, but he hung around for 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: like another forty five minutes or so. He let Dan 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: and I ask a bunch of weird and probing questions 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: about his life and career and his innermost thoughts. He 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: could not have been more gracious with his time, and 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: it really was a pleasure to get to know a 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: little bit more about him. If you're not familiar with 40 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: Adam Amine's work, my hunch is that you will be. 41 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: He is a play by play guy for ESPN. We 42 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 3: know him in the college football world because he called 43 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: college football with Mac Brown.

Pink. 91 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: It's like the pink Ranger like made her Power Ranger 92 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: suit into pants. 93 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 4: It's like a gumball machine came to life and threw 94 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 4: up everywhere. 95 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. I think that's fairly I 96 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: taste the rainbo. I mean, that's pretty much it. 97 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 4: So you're here and Monday night during the game, you 98 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 4: will be on the fields, Yes, with Taj Boyd Clemson 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: Greats quarterback, Barrett Jones All American Center, Farmer Center for 100 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 4: Alabama and uh and Joe Tests. 101 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: The Great Joe Tests. He's the Great Joe Test, the 102 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: Great Joe Tests. So what will you what will that 103 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: function be? You don't usually call a game from a field, No, 104 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: of course not. And it's and it's a new concept 105 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. Uh, and we see 106 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: we've seen this kind of bleed over into other sports 107 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 2: now and this is we've kind of dubbed it as 108 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: a crew as the Homer Cast, Yes, just because it's 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: it seems catchy, but it's part of the Mega Cast 110 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: that we've now done for three years. Yeah, three or 111 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: four years now at this point. And the Mega Cast 112 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: has been a huge hit the last several years. And 113 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: we keep adding things and coming up with different ideas, 114 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: and a couple of years ago they said, let's get 115 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: some people from these programs that are former players and 116 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: guys that have some semblance of an idea of how 117 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: to analyze games. And Taj and Barrett are very sharp 118 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: guys who know what they're doing and know what they're 119 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: talking about. 120 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: So we figured, let's let's get their take. 121 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: Let's have their perspective, their Homer perspective on these teams 122 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: and what we can do and put it all together. 123 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: So now all four of us are going to be 124 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: on the field and we're quasi calling the game, and 125 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: you know, will you be moving We'll be moving like 126 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: through up and down the sideline, people behind the end zone. Basically, 127 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: it's a free for all and in the best way 128 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: possible because we were not confined to the rules, the 129 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: typical rules of television, So it'll be really fun. We 130 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: have a skeleton, but we get to kind of fill 131 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: in the muscle like however we want to. 132 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: So it's not a conventional broadcast you're accustomed to doing. 133 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 3: How do you prepare for something like this as opposed 134 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: to what you normally do. 135 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 2: It's more streamlined and a lot of it is just 136 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: going to be leaning on Barrett and Taje and their perspectives, 137 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 2: and we really want to see their emotion of it 138 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: when Clemson scores. I want to see Taj Boyd react excitedly. 139 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 2: I want to see pump for it. 140 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 4: I should mention it's Alabama if Clemson scores, right, Yes, 141 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 4: we just have to and this will be we will 142 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: be airing this probably after the game, right, ty is 143 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: that is that correct? But it is cool to hear 144 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: so when you listen back. If Adam Imin gets run 145 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: over by both Scarborough, this will be the last audio. 146 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: Time for the game. Buddy ever hears me on a podcast. 147 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, Which, by the way, that's not out 148 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: of the realm of possibility that bos Garber literally just 149 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: runs me over. 150 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Here's my requests. 151 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: I don't ask for much, but it feels like because 152 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: it's so first person, you're on the sideline, you're so 153 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 4: close to the action. The sport that really has that 154 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: much more so than than football, is basketball. Yeah, I 155 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: want you to drop. You don't have to do more 156 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 4: than one. I want one and one mixtape scream. I 157 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: just want like an old baby, That's all I want. 158 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: You can call anybody you want hot sauce or you 159 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: know Barrett Jones an accomplished student, right, he had like 160 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: a four roh. Absolutely, you can call him the professor. 161 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: You can just all happily drop that down. 162 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: See that was that was a Brent Musburger thing. He 163 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: would come up with a professor. He would come up, 164 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: that's true, come up with a pet nickname, right for 165 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: like major Applewhite was the major.

What do you have. 191 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 3: So we met for the first time about two years 192 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: after we did the show, that's true, and we had 193 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: a connection at the time early days. We were on 194 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: the field for Texas against Nebraska two thousand and nine 195 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: and nine ten. Yeah, we're standing in the end zone 196 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: and have you called the game in Nebraska? 197 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, I love it. Okay, so you'll know 198 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: you'll understand this then. 199 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: So somebody kicks off I think it was Texas and whoever. 200 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: The kicker was beams one through the end zone and 201 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: it's coming right at me. 202 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: Oh, it's hot, it's coming in hot. Yeah. 203 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 3: This was the first game I had been to, at 204 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: least on the sidelines in the end zone. 205 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: Okay. 206 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: So I'm sitting I'm like, what's the move. Do you 207 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: try to catch the ball? Am I going to get 208 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 3: kicked out if I catch the ball? The guy next 209 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: to me, who I later learned had been doing the 210 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: kicking nets for like forty years, decides he's going to 211 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: reach out one hands, it, goes out, takes a step out, 212 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: holds it up, gets the entire round of applots from 213 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: Memorial Stadium. I found out after the fact that this 214 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: was like the moment in his life. He wants this 215 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 3: on his tombstone. I didn't know what to do. I 216 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: was terrified. 217 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: It should be noted there's about four and a half 218 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 4: feet between the back of the end zone and the 219 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 4: wall Lincoln. There's not a lot of rooms, so like 220 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: we legitimately could have been run over by somebody in 221 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: that So. 222 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: My point is that was my moment to maybe shine 223 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: and I faltered. So don't be like me. If you 224 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: have the opportunity. 225 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, like, take a fat moment comes, embrace it, wrap 226 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: your arms around it and never let go of it. 227 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Will you have your hands free? Is it just a 228 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: headset situation. 229 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: We're gonna have We're gonna have stick mics, oh will 230 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: so we're gonna be because we've got to be able 231 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: to run around and go down the sidelines and all 232 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: that stuff. 233 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have stick mikes. Okay, we've got stick mics. 234 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: Now should we throw at him? Let's have a cup 235 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: of water. Pies, pies pies? Is there?

So I really didn't know how to call 839 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 2: football either, right, I didn't call much of it until 840 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 2: I got to ESPN. I started calling the NFL when 841 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 2: I was twenty five on radio, which accelerated like the 842 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 2: learning problem. You have to know the sport if you're 843 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 2: going to call the NFL, and just getting reps for 844 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 2: that that accelerated the whole process. Is there is there 845 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 2: anyone that you try to emulate on the radio, It's 846 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 2: Kevin Harlan. 847 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 848 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I think he's one of the 849 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 2: most descriptive radio announcers ever and I've really taken that 850 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 2: to heart. And on the TV side, I don't know 851 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 2: if I emulate anybody maybe Mike Tarico, just because I'm there. 852 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: I try to Again, I'm not a guy who came 853 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: in knowing everything about it. But you learn as much 854 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 2: as you can, and you try to take the intelligent 855 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 2: man's approach to the game and try to accentuate that 856 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 2: with your analysts and things like that. But you pick 857 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 2: up a little bit from everybody. I've picked up stuff 858 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 2: from Joe Tessitour and from Chris Fowler, and you know, 859 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 2: Brett the brad Nessler's of the world, and Brent and 860 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 2: everybody that's in front of you. You're constantly watching and 861 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 2: going I like that. That doesn't fit with me. Maybe 862 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 2: I can implement this. 863 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: I should. I can hear myself make that mistake. I 864 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: should avoid that. 865 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 2: Like you pick up stuff from everywhere, you're always kind 866 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 2: of pinching, you're sampling constantly. 867 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 3: The danger with that, I would imagine, is that you 868 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 3: have a tendency to either a over thin it or. 869 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 1: Be edit yourself. Yes, how do you avoid falling into 870 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: that trap? 871 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 2: I think again, the reps helped the fact that I've 872 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 2: gotten a chance to do so many games. You learn, 873 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 2: like your voice, like I've I've you guys know my 874 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 2: humor because we all tweeted each other all the time 875 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 2: and we have a good time with it. I finally 876 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 2: feel comfortable injecting that a little bit. I finally feel 877 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: comfortable like being a little bit more of myself on 878 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: the air than maybe I ever have. And it took 879 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 2: five years to get there, you know, it takes that long. 880 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 2: And I'm a guy who does like eighty ninety one hundred, 881 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen hundred and twenty games a year nationally, 882 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 2: and it's it still took that long for me. And 883 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 2: it's like the ten thousand hour rule for me, Like 884 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 2: I had to do all this stuff to even feel 885 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 2: comfortable doing it. And I've watched old footage of myself, so, oh, 886 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 2: I didn't. 887 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: I didn't go to the TV route. I started on 888 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: the internet. 889 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 4: So I got a job at SI dot com when 890 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 4: I was twenty four, so roughly the same age, but 891 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 4: like I was one man banding it, like when I 892 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 4: was going to football games and stuff like that. And 893 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 4: I guess the good thing with TV is once you've 894 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 4: done a broadcast on a local TV station or a 895 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 4: minor league, it's gone forever. Nobody can ever dig that up. 896 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 4: It is very easy to find, some very poor broadcasting 897 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 4: and videos that I've Oh. 898 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean I still have tapes in my 899 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 2: first radio broadcast. I have the tape of my first 900 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 2: football game, and I cringe. Yeah, I've gone back maybe 901 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 2: once or twice in the last few years, and I'll 902 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 2: be like, let's pop this in for old time sake 903 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 2: and see what it looked like and see what it 904 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 2: sounded like. 905 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 4: And oh, I have I have one final question. We 906 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 4: let him get lunch, interact god, hand whatever. So there 907 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 4: is a possibility that and I won't be fully in 908 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 4: my hands. 909 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to move to Chicago. My fiance is from. 910 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 4: There, right, and I am a soft Southern Californian who 911 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 4: is accelerating and sort of intensely exploring all of my 912 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 4: geographical options to perhaps not make this so convince me 913 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 4: that it might not be so bad. 914 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 3: And I'll prefab saying this every time he mentioned Chicago. 915 00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 3: It's all about the weather. 916 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: I think he loves.

Between 920 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 4: November and March, she just did not want me to 921 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 4: see it, right, So convince me that it's workable. 922 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 2: Food in the winter time tastes better in Chicago.
