WEBVTT - 03/05/21 DPS Hour 3 Ernie Johnson 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.119 Sports Radio, Can you guys stop arguing about UFOs? Like 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:10.840 Seaton and Pauli are back and forth that Pauli thinks 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:14.880 Seaton's crazy, Seaton thinks Pauli's crazy, Seaton believes in UFOs, 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.600 PAULI doesn't. Yes, paul right before the show started, moments 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.000 before you're about to go on air, the open plate 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:22.919 and seton turns to me, and not in a joking, 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.160 he goes, you're seriously, bro, you don't believe in UFOs. 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:27.840 And I think I said the same thing back to 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.440 him the other way. I said, seriously, you do. Yeah. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.000 There was like a comment made about how absurd it 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.479 is to believe in it. I'm like, I don't know, 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.280 I believe it true. It's like because even like when 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.920 we start cutting down to it, it's like, oh, no, no no, no, 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.080 I believe in UFOs. I just don't believe that UFOs 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.120 from other planets are coming to visit US. It's like, 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.440 so you kind of believe in UFO. You don't believe 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.720 in UFO would come to visit Baker Mayfield, is what 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.199 you're saying. No, but I think Baker Meyfield could have 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.840 seen one. I do too. Yeah, remember when Sam Darnold 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.720 said he saw ghosts in the pocket like nobody ripped 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.280 him in said there's no gos. Sam Baker got ripped 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.520 because he saw UFOs yes time, and then Seton said 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.160 to probably something along the lines of, so you don't 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.280 believe there's any type of life forms at all the 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.880 entire galaxley. It's just us here and that's the end 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.360 of it. Yes, well that might be different, Like I 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.319 could believe that there's plants on other planets and some 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.160 type of life form in the process of value evolving, 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.960 but I don't know that they simultaneously the same time 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.840 as us have spaceships. Like we have spaceships and they 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.040 have spaceships. We drive each other. What do you think 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.880 they would think if they tuned in to T and TS, 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.840 you know, inside the NBA, and they saw Shack or 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.840 they saw Barkley, the aliens would have a harder time 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.880 figuring out that there there's somebody that Shack or Barkley. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.319 Ernie Johnson Segue, Ernie Johnson Junior. By the way, inside 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.800 the NBA Sports Emmy Award winning studio show, they have 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.840 a documentary. It's a four part documentary series and it 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.240 first part was last night. First episode aired last night. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.840 Part two tonight. It's the role Player at nine Eastern 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.520 and Ernesto Johnson Junior the third joining us on the program. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.760 Good morning, Ernie, and I think good morning Dad. I 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.919 think the answer to your question is why do those 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.280 UFOs never land? As if if they did see our show, 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.880 they would jose as it passed. That's that's for sure. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.959 How are you doing this morning? I'm doing great. I'm 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.520 doing great. Paulie brought up a question to me right 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.760 before I turned on the microphone to talk to you, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.839 and he said, how did Ernie get the job as 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:32.160 the host of Inside the NBA? How did you get that? 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.600 I was working in Atlanta at a station you remember, 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.240 at local station there because you were at CNN at 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.520 the time. I was working for WUSB. I was the 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:47.440 weekend sports anchor, and the folks at Turner called one 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.239 day and said, Hey, would you want to come and 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.079 work with us because we have this role for you 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.200 as the host of our wide world of sports type 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.760 show called US Olympic Gold and so we'd like you 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.480 to host that for about a year and then and 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.760 then become the host of the good Will Games in Seattle, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.960 and I said, that sounds that sounds good. I'll do that. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.120 There was really not much talk about the NBA at 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.800 that point. Um as things worked out. There was a 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.680 bit of a power struggle at the top of the 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.720 good Will Games organization in between the time I was 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.720 hired and the time that the good Will Games happened. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.600 And so Larry King became the host, and he had 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.960 Hannah's Storm and Nick Charles as his co hosts. And 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.720 I was assigned to all the sports that bow doesn't know, 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:45.800 as I referred to it at that point, judo, team handball, UM, 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.280 modern pentathlon. I was I was kind of a jack 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.480 of all trades covering things at the good Will Games. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.920 So that didn't exactly shake out the way it was 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.200 supposed to. But uh, but certainly in the long run, 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.560 when the and they asked me to host the NBA, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.040 that was that was a pretty good career move. What 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.720 was it like when Barkley first came to town. I 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.800 think we're all pumped. I mean, who wouldn't be, because 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.360 this was like landing the biggest free agent in history. Uh, 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.640 this was you know, this was UM and especially. What 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.200 made it even even better in a way was we 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.440 had kind of resigned ourselves to the fact that he 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.840 was going to go to NBC. You know that, you know, 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.039 he'll be over there with them, and and but we'll 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.040 keeps doing our thing. And Kenny and I, you know, 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.760 really enjoyed working together. But man, when you land that, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.760 it's like, oh, this is gonna be this is gonna 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.680 be so much fun. And my only question at the 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.000 time was when the novelty wears off, is Charles gonna say, Okay, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.960 that's enough of this. I've done three shows, Now what 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.960 else is there in my life? So? Um, Fortunately, he's 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.960 been He's been with us for like twenty one years 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.640 or twenty years now, so uh no, it's he's been 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.080 Dan as you know, he's been tremendous. And the whole 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.920 key to that is he hasn't changed from the person 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.719 he was as a player to the person he is 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.920 on TV. And I think that See, that's the danger 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:13.880 if you say, all of a sudden, yeah, I've been 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.240 kind of this outspoken guy and always you know, he's 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.640 always opinionated. But when the red light goes on, now 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.400 I'm I'm going to hush up, and that's he's been 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.560 so far over over the edge on that it's not 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.160 even funny. And I know that I don't think I 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.360 mean this literally of rehearsing. How much rehearsing do you do? 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.640 But we have these meetings before show where you kind 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.680 of go over topics that you're going to bring up, 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.159 or you might clue somebody in on a joke that 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.000 you might prank, you play on somebody else. But how 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.760 much of what is said on the show itself are 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:52.120 you aware of before the show? None of it really 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.159 from those guys now, not from them because because the 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.599 production meeting, I'm in there with Tim Kylie and Jeremy Levin, 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.360 who's ever producing that night? You know, in about twenty 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.680 twenty five other people are on the call now on 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.719 these Zoom production meetings. Oh Shack and Charles and Kenny 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.440 aren't in on no no no, no, no no no, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.600 they've never been. And the and the thing is part 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.200 of that was by design, but part of it was 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.800 like they were like, I'm not gonna sit at a 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.760 meeting for three or three hours before we go on 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.880 the air, And it just works out better for us 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.480 because if we do have something, we want to spring 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.200 on Kenny, you know, an old piece of video where 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.800 he gets his pocket picked at mid court and somebody dunks. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.400 We don't want him saying, oh yeah, Kenny, get ready 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.640 because in the third segment of post game, we're gonna 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.960 show this. So that's what we want to do. We 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.400 just want to be able to spring things on people. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.760 And like the other night, we we we you know, 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.039 made up this game show for Shack based on the 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.559 fact that he, you know, Pascal Siakam. The week before, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.279 I had said, you got your eye on Pascal and 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.200 he said, no, I'm I'm I got my on Siakam. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.960 And it's like, so the next week we had a 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.320 game show on the air and could could you name 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.159 the first what's the first name of these players? And 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.800 I told him and I even told Shack. I said, look, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.640 here's here's our stat sheet that we get from Elias 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.520 or whoever. And so every every name I'm going to 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.880 give you, it's it's either in the top twenty of 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.280 an apartment or the top ten of an apartment, so 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.040 you know, you know here it is. Here's the last 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:26.680 name Monk, he plays for, Charlotte Eli, No, Mollia, Okay, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.520 and it was it was just what we do. But 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.080 do the producers have the green light? Ernie, I know 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.800 it feels like the talent has the green light, but 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:42.920 producers poking Hall of Fame players everything. Are you allowed to, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.000 you know, suggest something that might hurt somebody's feelings or 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.200 make them uncomfortable? Yeah, I think we've I think we've 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.720 done this long enough to know that no one's feelings 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.080 are going to get hurt. Uh if that were If 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.800 that were the case, then there wouldn't be a docuseriies 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.840 right now. People would have bailed on the show. I'm 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.760 talking about people who are on the show long ago, 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.000 because every every one of us has been has been 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.400 in the in the cross ears from the other guys. So, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.880 but Shack does poke Charles, it feels like there's a 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:19.080 little bit more tension. No, it's man. Did you see 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.120 Shack the other night on the wrestling thing? Yeah, okay, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.440 Shack knows drama, Shack knows TV that Shack knows what's good. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.600 You know. So if Shaq's going to raise his voice 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:35.040 at Chuck because they can't agree on exactly where Christops 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.240 Porzingis should be in the Dallas offense, it's it's not 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.280 that they're going to step out in the parking lot. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.880 It's just, you know, it's good, it's good conversation. But 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.800 it's never forced. It's never something like, well, Shack's just 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.560 going to take this position so that we can have 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.440 an argument on the air. It's just these guys have 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:55.319 different philosophies on the game. So um now, but please 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.319 rest assured. There is not going to be this heavyweight 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.400 bout of you know, seven hundred pounds of humanity wrestling 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.680 on the floor. I'd like to see it, but no, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.360 have you ever gotten hurt? Have I ever gotten hurt 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.440 on the show? Doing what? Like you're sort of in 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.400 between those guys, or you're just sort of an innocent bystander. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:20.920 Then you somehow you're getting you know, it's collateral damage. Now, Dan, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.040 you know me, I'm a sensitive guy. I've only had 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:27.520 my feelings hurt. There's been no physical pain. It's emotional, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.560 emotional pain. I get it. Why are we having All 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:38.600 Star Weekend? Well, I think because it's a tradition, and 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:44.120 it's because it's obviously there are monetary issues that you know, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.440 I'm the last guy to ask about what something's going 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.400 to mean from a fiscal standpoint, but I think, I mean, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.559 the Commissioner was pretty forthright about that. He said, yeah, look, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.080 we want to do this, and it looks like the 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.480 fans want it because there's so much voting and that 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.480 kind of thing. But he also was like, look, we 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.280 need to we need to do this financially, and so 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.600 having it in Atlanta certainly reduces all the travel for 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.960 all of our folks because you know, we have the 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.160 game on TNT, so there's nobody flying cross country or 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.120 flying here and there and that kind of thing, and 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.360 all the equipments here. So uh, that's that's why we're 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.600 having it. I was surprised, you know, I didn't think, 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.600 you know, when the word came down that there was 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.120 going to be one. I was surprised. I thought, uh, 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.679 just from my view, it was going to be Wow, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.200 let's hey, let's get to the all Star break and 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.680 then everybody sit back and take a deep breath and say, hey, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.000 we did this all right, now, now what can we 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.920 do on the second half. But um, but again, they 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.160 have their reasons for doing it. And I'm in a 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.840 few hours, I'm heading down to to the Omni Hotel 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.360 to quarantine for a couple of days and get tested today. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.040 I was tested last night. I'll get tested again today 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.920 and tomorrow and then go to the arena Sunday and 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.720 we'll do the thing. The four part documentary on Inside 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.480 the NBA, you can see it on TNT tonight is 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.400 the Role Player. That's part two. What's the best item 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:17.640 in your man cave or your office? There? Um picture 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.600 of me and my dad is pretty cool right there, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.760 all over your right shoulder, Yeah, right there from back 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.360 in fifty nine, I believe his last year with the Braves. 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.120 That was from like a father Sunday. Um, what else 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:36.160 we got here? Georgia, Jersey. That says poppy, which is 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.040 what my grandkids call me. But there's a bunch of 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.680 stuff in here. We call this. We call this the 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.120 room because my dad sent me a clipping one time 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.800 from the AJC that talked about our high school baseball game. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.640 And he just and then he said, here, put this 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.680 in the room when it's built. And so you know, 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.040 he says that back in the in the eighties or 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.480 the seventies, and so my wife and I said, you 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.080 know what, we're to make the room. So we just 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.880 got a bunch of stuff in here. Man, I have 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.640 a very hard time throwing things away. Any sports Emmy's 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:15.080 in there. Uh, there's one right there. Okay, there probably 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.719 probably my name on it. Probably should have my name 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.679 on it. Oh, without question, without questions, have you ever 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.360 wanted and felt guilty that I was out there in 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.920 the audience and I didn't win it? Yeah, I look, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.880 I'm you're I'm gonna try to make a try to 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.760 answer this in a way that doesn't sound like it's 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:39.840 mamby pamby bs um. Whenever my name is called on 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.760 that thing, it's like, how did that happen? Because I 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.120 always look out there and I see and you look 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.160 at the list of guys and it and every year 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.679 it could go to anybody, any of those you know 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.240 five that are that are nominated. Um. Yeah, but there's 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.080 there's a special bitter suite feeling when you leave the 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.640 stage and I you and I lock eyes and and 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.920 I but I always wonder when I see you win, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.760 like how did I not win? When we lock eyes? 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:10.640 So like how did that happen? Is what I say? Well, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.280 that's an upset for the ages? How did it? Yes? Yeah, 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.800 but but I will say I am pretty phony when 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.920 it comes to applauding, because I mean, I'm used to 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.920 be in there with Bob Costas, so when Costas doesn't win, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.839 I go, I'm in like, this is mine. And then 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.840 when he's not nominated, everybody feels like, oh, we're thrilled 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.680 a chance. And then all of a sudden and the 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.839 winner is Ernie Chap and then I'm like, I gotta 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.880 be really quick because I like you and I root 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.680 for you, but after a while I don't like you 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.320 and don't root for you. So that's so kind of it. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.240 But you know what's funny is when you just to 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.640 the point we made when for so many years when 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.840 Bob was nominated, it was like, okay, good, I'll yeah, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.280 I'll go, but I'm just gonna be there to year 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.880 for Bob, you know, when his name is called. But 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:08.240 those times when hold on, I'm nominated, Costas is not 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.920 the guy who's won eight hundred and fifty seven of 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.320 these bad boys, we got a chance. I don't know 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.640 if I ever told you this story, but there was 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.840 one year when Costas wasn't nominated for the Best Studio 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.560 Host and I'm nominated along with Chris Berman, and I'm 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.200 not sure who else was nominated, but I'm at the table. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:31.000 They had tables back then, and I'm sitting there and 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.880 Chris Berman is talking to a couple of produce Scott 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:38.080 Akerson was one of our producers. Bob Rousher was a produce. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.600 And he's telling them that I gotta thank I gotta 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.760 thank Tommy me. Yeah. Yeah. So he's going down the 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.560 list of everybody's going to thank, and then he looks 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:55.680 at me and he goes, good luck. Well, I win 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.600 the Sports Emmy, Ernie. I come back at the table 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:05.400 and it's as if I walked into a week. I 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.280 called my wife and I and she goes, you don't 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.840 sound excited. I go, oh hone, it's bad. I walked 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.640 out of the Sports Emmy's after that, went down to 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.600 Clark's and had a drive. I brought the Emmy and 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.720 I sat at the bar with my Emmy and I 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.520 just had I had a couple of beers because I 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:33.000 couldn't just sit there by yourself. Yes, yes, an image, 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:37.880 I know, but I felt bad that. Like Chris, the 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.200 reason why I won is that Chris opened the door 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.760 for us to be able to have fun on Sports Center. Really, 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.320 Chris is as influential as anybody who's ever done this. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.120 But I felt bad. I'm just there with that sports 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.920 Emmy and he's right across the table from me, and 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.080 I felt terrible. And I just remember going, I'm going 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.800 down the street and uh just went to a bar 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:03.400 and sat there with Miami drank. Yeah my, yeah, what 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.920 a touching and disturbing story. Yes, thank you. That That 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.680 is the title of my documentary. It's a four part 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:18.800 documentary disturbing Dan Patrick's story. Play ice this weekend. By 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.960 the way, okay, yeah of course, yeah, of course. Hey, 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.000 by the way, Chuckster will not be with us for 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.960 all Star coverage. All his daughter is getting married. Yeah, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:32.600 how about do you think do you think he cries? Oh? No, doubt, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.040 I love it. No, he's crying right now. I mean 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.720 it's it's not you know what. And I've been down 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.760 that road and it's fine. Did you cry? Oh yeah, 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.680 yeah I did? But you know what, um, and see, 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.440 I'm I'm a sucker. You know the movie Father of 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:54.200 the Bride, Steve Martin, Because that that always tears me up. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:59.320 And so I actually tried to circumvent me crying too 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.280 much at Maggie's wedding by watching the movie like two 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.280 nights before, just trying to get it out of my sister. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.359 And all it did was exacerbate the situation something I mean, 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:09.960 because I mean you're sitting there and you're and you're 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:11.560 about to do it, and you look in your daughter's 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.600 eyes and it's just like, oh, my goodness, I gotta 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.360 do it three times, Ernie. But I wasn't a mess though. 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.879 Oh it's dan. It's the it's the it's the greatest. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.560 You know, there's there's this great part, there's this horrible part, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.800 but when they when they mesh together, it just makes 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.399 for the most unforgettable, cool day. You'll never forget it. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.520 You gotta do it three time. Yeah, I got three daughters. 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.600 Yeah I've got I'll be doing this again at some 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.520 point too. But um, but it was, you know, to 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.760 do that. And I was also the best man at 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:48.200 my son Eric's wedding. So I've had these wonderful, incredible moments. 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.520 And and so if anybody ever has fun saying, oh 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.080 is anybody gonna cry, you go ahead, man. If there's 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.199 ever a reason to cry, it's it's moments like this. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.680 I have suggested to my daughter is that all three 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.560 get married on the same day, cut cost and cut 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.320 down on the tears. That would be uh, that would 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.360 be unique. You know what I think when when when 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.439 Eric and Maggie both got married, they got married a 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:19.080 month apart in the same year. M So that's why 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:25.960 I'm gonna be working until I'm three. Ernie. Great to 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.520 talk to you, and uh happy to play a role 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.280 in some small part in the documentary series. I meant 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.080 to I meant to say that too, Dan, I'm sorry, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.119 because no, they had so many they talked to so 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.920 many folks, you included, and the way our editors and everybody, 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.320 I mean, they've done a spectacular job. And I don't 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:44.760 know if you've watched the whole thing or any of 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.240 it at all, but the way they push put this 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.440 thing together, and with the comments of folks like you 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.679 and Will Bond and others, um and common and you 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.440 name it. Um, it's just they did a spectacular job. 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:00.280 And it's it's not me just saying hey, this is 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.560 great because it's about our show. But there are times 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.399 when you watch a show, watch a documentary something like 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:10.120 this and say, man, is that well put together? It 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.080 really is? So thanks for thanks for all your kind 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.200 words about the show Man, would you were awesome? And 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.080 if you win another Sports Emmy because of this documentary 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:25.800 that I've been praising, that doesn't seem right though. If 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.199 that happens, I'm just I'm going down to Clark's, but 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:35.760 by yourself with your emmy.
