1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's almost like, after thirty years, he's become 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: an overnight sensation, because it feels like the rest of 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: America is now experiencing Chris mad Dog Russo because he's 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: on First Take with Stephen A. Smith. Chris has been 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: doing this for a long long time, battling anybody, everybody, 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: mad Dog unleashed on Sirius XM Serious. That's Channel eighty 8 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: two hosts a high heat on Major League Baseball Network. 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: Congrats Chris on this overnight success out of nowhere. Danny. 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: You know how much it loves coming on. How you 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: doing poll? Okay, I'm good, I'm good. You argue for 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: a living. But when you go on First Take, how much, 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: say do you have in those topics that you're going 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: to be exploring? You know more than I thought. You know, 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: you did a little baseball a couple of weeks ago. 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: I suggested maybe something on Chashevski yesterday because obviously you 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: know the Duke game on in the fact I play 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: today at noon, so I thought you had to do 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: a little college basketball. You know, I'm careful at Stevie's show, 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: So I mean I get, you know, a new guy 21 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: on the blog. I want to make any waves. I 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: thought maybe you had to do something on Calvin Ridley, 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, with the gambling thing with the one year 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: either they agreed on that anyway. But I mean, I think, 25 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: you know, I will basically I will be gentle, but 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: I'll suggest, you know, what the hell. I've been doing 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: this for a long time, and as you said, it's 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: almost like I'm been debate my whole life. Half the 29 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: time on Sirius, I'm talking to myself for three hours. 30 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: So as a result, I come up on topics. I 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: did it with Mike for nineteen years. I've been on 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: all these I've been on with your show a million times. 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: You know. I've had plenty of debates going back to 34 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: your days at sports Time, so it's almost like I've 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: been trained to do this. So I'm usually fairly comfortable. 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: I think the two sports I'm a little shaky with 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: right now, and there was a big boxing match Steeds great. 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: With that, I'd have a little work to do. And 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: NBA regular season, you know, especially right now where it 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: sort of in and out of the clouds, when I'm 41 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: more into the college, you know, maybe it could be 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: a little spotty, but you know, I'll adapt the way 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: I have to do that. But I've had a little say, 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: I've had some say and what I think in a 45 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: two hour thing, it's a long time, two hours to talk. 46 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: So I've had a little say, a little say the 47 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: art of winning an argument? What is your art of 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: winning an argument? Well, the old days with Mike, it 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: was a case of you know, outscreaming him and and 50 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe figuring out a way to get you know, 51 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: sort of wearing him down, you know, the battle of attrition. 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: And I've actually Mike would or me would just throw 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: up the white flag, you know, and I'm not going 54 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: to win this when the hell of it all right, 55 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: you win in this particular situation where you don't want 56 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: to come across as a loudmouth bully. As you said, 57 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: you know who an America, those two Christus. So it 58 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: is so you have to be a little more gentle. 59 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: And again, you know, I still consider myself almost as 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: a guest, more so as a semi co host, so 61 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to overstay at my bounds. But the 62 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: great thing about him, and I don't know if you 63 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: know him that well, Dan, you may, I don't know 64 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: what your relationship. But the great thing about him is 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't care who gets to credit as long as 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: the show is good. A lot of guys wouldn't do 67 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: it that way. You know, in my show, I've been 68 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: doing it for ten years. You're a guest, and you're 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: gonna follow my lead. He doesn't seem to have that attitude. 70 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: So as resold, if I want to scream and yell 71 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: about where Curry is with Bird, I want to scream 72 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: and yell about where Wilson is with Rogers. At least 73 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: in unless than the first couple of appearances. He's let 74 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: me do that. So I think I've learned in my 75 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: life not to go too crazy because you can win 76 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: an argument and still look bad. You know you can, 77 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: all right, you win, but it doesn't come across well. 78 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: And you also want to be likable. I mean, right, 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: you're on TV, you're on radio. There's got to be 80 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: a little likability factor. So you want to be able 81 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: to get your point across. Great if you win, but 82 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: have some fun doing it, and you want that to 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: of course, So if you have to lose an argument 84 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: for the second, losing it because it's good TV of 85 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: the radio. I think I didn't know this fifteen years ago. 86 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: I probably know that now. He's mad Dog Russo. By 87 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: the way, he's got a new series of episodes on 88 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: his Digging Up the Pass podcast debuts this month. You 89 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: focus on the history of the NCAA tournament. First episode 90 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: is Magic Bird nineteen seventy nine title game, and you 91 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: can get that on the Serious XM app. What's the 92 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: one thing that you would want the audience to take 93 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: away from this that maybe you discovered on Bird Magic 94 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. Yeah, it's a This is gonna be 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: all about the eighties, and we did the first half 96 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: first forty years last year. So this is the second part. 97 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down into five parts to switch 98 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: from NBC to CBS, A rise of the Big East, 99 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: Classic Games, and the Bird Magic thing. Obviously Magic and 100 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: Bird or you're not going to get them. So yeah, 101 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: you know I did. I did the interviews that Larry 102 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Brown was at the games, I did Packer, I did 103 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Bob Ryan. I think the one thing that I didn't 104 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: realize Ryan insisted and he was there, that Bird was hurt, 105 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: that he hurt his wrists sometime in the course late 106 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: in that year and didn't feel right that night. Now 107 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: he shot seven for twenty one and was not a 108 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: factor in the game. As you know, Michigan State, where 109 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: you and I rolla old enough to know this, Michigan 110 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: State was a much better team and burb was not 111 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. That's what That's what Ryan said emphatically, Packer. 112 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: His theme is what you and I have always thought 113 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: about too. At least, you know, nobody really quite knew 114 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: watching those two players, how great they were going to 115 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: be in the NBA. Magic Slow couldn't shoot Bird, you know, 116 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: you know Slow, you know, not a great defender. How 117 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: would his game translate? And Packer, on two or three 118 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: cuts in that episode, which is forty minutes long, in 119 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: two or three cuts, said, none of us thought that 120 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: the two of them were going to be great NBA players, 121 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: including Al McGuire. So I think those two little tidbits 122 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: are interesting. And remember too, Danny, you remember this. I 123 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: did too, because I was eighteen. I was in college 124 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: as a freshman. Bird played two great games that Indiana 125 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: State did before that championship game. They beat Moncrief and 126 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: Arkansas in the regional final. How's the year after Mark, 127 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: Arkansas got to the final four, but Ron Brewer and 128 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: Marvin delf had graduated, so only Moncreef was left. They 129 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: won by a basket and Moncrief and Birdwood gray as 130 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: you know. And then in the semifinals they beat Aguire 131 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: from DePaul and Ocguire was great ray Meyer, and that 132 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: game was by a basket. So they had played two 133 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: unbelievable games, and then they played this terrible game in 134 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: the final. So I thought that was interesting at interesting 135 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: little tidbits. You know, you and I we remember because 136 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: you and I are old enough, probably a little younger 137 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: than me, but we're about the same age, so we 138 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: and you're and you're a good player. As it was, 139 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: you remember all these games. But even I picked up 140 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: on something. That's why these podcasts are good. As you 141 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: do all these interviews with older guys who were too 142 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: sharp as attack, who gave you good information. I'll give 143 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: you one that you'll find fascinating. Ready for this, I 144 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: did Beheim on the bag East to talk to him 145 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: and on his game, and he lost to Indiana in 146 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: eighty seven. When they lost Indiana, the chaperone who was 147 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: in charge of getting Syracuse to and from New Orleans. 148 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: Was crushed that they lost India lost to Indiana. When 149 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: they went back there in two thousand and three in 150 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans, Beheim gets on the bus with the chaperone 151 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: and the first thing he says, let's win this championship. 152 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: It was the same chaperone from nineteen eighty six for 153 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: an hour. Things like that. Then you pick up that 154 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: are interesting. You know, if Bird er Magic would be 155 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: better in today's NBA which one you're You're can answer 156 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: that probably better than I can. I think Bird would 157 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: be great. I think both would be great. I mean Magic, 158 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: you have to wonder a little about his quickness is 159 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: three point shooting, you know, at the game's different. You know, 160 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: he was a he was a wonderful fan, and he 161 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: wasn't unbelievably fast, So it's a it's a little at 162 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: his three point shooting. Bird is a great three point shooter. 163 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: So I have no I think Bird might be a 164 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: little better organized today than Magic would be because Bird 165 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: was a great They both were great passers, but Burt 166 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: was a better shooter than Magic and a better three 167 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: point shooter and everything else. So maybe Bird's game translates. 168 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: But I think if you're an all time great, you're 169 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: an all time great. And I think both of them 170 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: would be great today. And I made the point with 171 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: Stephen a last weekend. I don't know if he's sort 172 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: or heard about it, And you might disagree or not. 173 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not argue body of work. But if you 174 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: asked me, in the peak of their career, in a 175 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: seven game series against an equal team, who i'd rather 176 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: have berta Lebron, I might take Bird. That's how good 177 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: he was. I think Larry, if he had stayed healthy. 178 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: We always love to have that caveat. But it wasn't 179 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: till Lebron was around thirty when I said he's a 180 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: better basketball player than Larry. Because there was a season 181 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: where Larry averaged pretty close to a triple double. And 182 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: I think it was when he was twenty nine or so, 183 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: and you know, it was thirty nine and eight for Larry, 184 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: and Larry wasn't about numbers. Everybody's about numbers. Now. You know, 185 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: if you're thirty nine and eight, you're gonna go, I'm 186 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: gonna average a triple double. You know, Bird that that. 187 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: You know he didn't calculate games that way. But um, 188 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: if you said it's one game, I think, Chris, then 189 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: then it's an interesting argument. But I said serious, I 190 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: said series, you know on a seventh Okay, so one 191 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: game would that be any different? Would you would you 192 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: take Bird over Lebron one game? Much? I think he's 193 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: a better shoot. He's a better shooter than Lebron is, 194 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: and he's a better outside and he's a better free 195 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: throw shooter. Um. And here's the thing that I argued, 196 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: and you would remember well, and I think there's something 197 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: to it. I've seen Lebron. He was bad against Dallas 198 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: the year they lost. Yeah, he played terribly in that series. 199 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: You've you've been around forever. You ever see Bird in 200 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: a big when he was healthy? You ever see Bird 201 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: in a big series? Lay An Egg, I saw him. 202 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: I saw him have a bad shooting performance. He had 203 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: the bad game against the Lakers the year that they 204 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: Magic's babyhood. Yeah, because I was at the game, and 205 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: you know Bird and Bird had a chance at the end. Yeah. 206 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: I had a wide open three. Yeah, a wide open three. James, 207 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: I was there. Wow, I didn't know that you were 208 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: at that game, game five in the eighty. Where were 209 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: you sitting that night? I was way up way up. 210 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: That was before sport Were you doing Sports Center at 211 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: the time. I was at CNN. Wow, you at that game. 212 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: That's one of the all time great games, the Magic Babyhood. Yes, 213 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: see you. Yeah, But I mean I was fortunate to 214 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: have been around the NBA in the early The only 215 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: person I didn't see in person was Bill Russell, Saul 216 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: Wilt Marovich. You know, all of those great teams came 217 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: into Cincinnati with the Cincinnati Royals, So I got a 218 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: chance to see great players. So when people say, well, 219 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: let's argue this, you know I can I at least 220 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: have a reference point. Are you sure Oscar? You're old 221 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: enough to have seen Oscar as a Royal? Yeah, before 222 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: he went to Milwaukee. Yes, we didn't realize how great 223 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: he was because the Royals weren't any good. But he 224 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: did this every night where he'd give you twenty five 225 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: twenty six a game, great free through shooter, rebounder. But 226 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: we also knew of him at the University of Cincinnati. 227 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: So right, so a lot of times we see somebody 228 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: for the first time, we go, oh my god, did 229 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: you see that guy? Well, we had seen Oscar for 230 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: you know, six seven years before he emerged on the 231 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: scene in Milwaukee when he won an NBA championship. But 232 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm missing made the missing ingredient. That's how you grew 233 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: up in Cincinnati. So you saw all those loyal teams. 234 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: Were you at the are you old enough? Were you 235 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: at the game? And when Couzy put himself no blew 236 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: that five point lead against the Knicks? No, I was not, 237 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: but uh that was that was tough, said you know, 238 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: that made the Knicks break the record for consecutive wins 239 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: that game. Was it eighteen eighteen I think in a 240 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: rown Yeah, yeah, which the Lakers, which the Lakers obliterated, 241 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, two or three years later. But you know, 242 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: tell him Danny Cuzy put himself in a game with 243 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: a five point lead. Was it thirty seconds left or 244 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: something crazy like that? They lost something like that. It 245 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: was sad when you saw it because that's where somebody 246 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: and realized they shouldn't be in the game. And Kuzy 247 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: was a player coach and he put himself in the 248 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: game and I think had a couple of turnovers there. 249 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: They ended up losing before six years after here he 250 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: retired two six years after. If you were going to 251 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: arbitrate baseball and its lockout. How would you what's the 252 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: solution here, Chris, I think they're gonna get something done. 253 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: You can't sit there and tell me this international draft 254 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: thing tie in that it's not gonna I think that, 255 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: whether it's today tomorrow, I do think they're going to 256 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: get something gun to the owners today. Hello, listen, I 257 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: know everybody wants to kill the owners, so I'll go 258 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: the other way. I mean, think about what the owners 259 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: had given the players here, Danny, you you've been following 260 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: us forever. They went minimum salary went up to seven 261 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: hundred thousand from five to seventy, and then the deal 262 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: goes to seven seventy. They took about the free agent 263 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: compensation situation, they went to. The luxury tax went from 264 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: two ow eight to two hundred and thirty million, you know, 265 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: from the last agreement last year into this year, or 266 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: two thirty the minimum they got away the market manipulation 267 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: to Chris Bryant, nonsense that we saw at the Cubs 268 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: when he got sent down to the model leagues, and 269 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: they put service time. They only took twelve postseason teams 270 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: when they wanted fourteen. And here's the big one. They 271 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: had never given a Nickel into this. They put forty 272 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: million dollars into the salary arbitration thing from one and 273 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: two year players so ago like carbon Burns who won 274 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: a cy young would not be eligible for a lot 275 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: of money now in subsequent years. If they signed off this, 276 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: they'd have forty million dollars to figure out how to use. 277 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: If you're part of the players Association. So to me, 278 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: if I'm a player and said, hold on out, we 279 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: got minimum salary, we got CBT, we got only the 280 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: amount of playoff teams we wanted, we got no jfpick compensation, 281 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: we got salaries. I'm an idiot. Let's go. I'm signing 282 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: the contract. But you know they came up with this 283 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: international jet thing. I think this will get settled here shortly. 284 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: And I mentioned this jestin and you probably agree. Can 285 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: you imagine if on April fifteenth, on the seventy fifth 286 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: anniversary of Jackie Robinson, they're not playing in major league 287 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: ballparks in this day and age. Think about that, then 288 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know they have to play. 289 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: They got to figure this, and that's the most the 290 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: biggest embarrassment in the world. A week before the NFL 291 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: Draft and there and there on a like out slash 292 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: stike when Jackie Robinson seventy five years ago played first 293 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: base for the for the Dodgers against the Boston Bridge. 294 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: And they're not playing baseball that you're not gonna win, 295 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: You're dead, You're finished in this day and age. So 296 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get something done. Oh, it's great 297 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: to talk to you. Congrats on the first take.

I saw 305 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: this tweet from Tim Calliwshaw our good buddy's. He says, 306 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: it's easy to make fun of Carson Wentz and I 307 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: haven't exactly shied away from it. But put him in 308 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: the Washington offense, give the defense Chase young and better health, 309 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: and it's a three way race. In the NFC East, 310 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys backsliding, Eagles drafting big commanders are coming. Okay, I mean, 311 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: there's seven and ten with Taylor Heineke. All right, do 312 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: I think Carson Wentz would I have taken the chance 313 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: on it? I would have, but I don't know. I 314 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: think taken his salary off the hands of the Colds 315 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: would have been enough. I don't want to give up 316 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks as well, but maybe maybe 317 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: gets it. But at this age he should be. I 318 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: thought somebody was going to wait for him to get cut, 319 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: and then I mean, I don't know if I don't 320 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: know who Washington was negotiating against. And I know there 321 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: are reports that other teams wanted Carson Wentz. But if 322 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: they make the playoffs, then it's a win, all right. 323 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: The last couple of days we've talked about there was 324 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: a survey done in England and it was for the 325 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: saddest song, and I think it was RMS Everybody hurts. 326 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: And then we thought, all right, we'll give you our 327 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: sad song. And then we thought, all right, how about 328 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: our happy song?

I was driving home, and we used to 346 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: when you left our studio, you made like a left 347 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: and got when a block or two, and the West 348 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: Side Highway was right there, and I was the light 349 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: was green, and I was going to make a right 350 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: on my green light, and there was a man walking 351 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: his bike. He had a hat on and he was 352 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: like a tamo kind of hat, and he was walking 353 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: his bike, and I think that I either was driving 354 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: too fast and stopped too close to him or something, 355 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: but I definitely gave him a scare and he looked 356 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: up at me like, what the hell is wrong with you? 357 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: And I was like, that's deep bird. Oh my god. 358 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if I just ran him over? Then 359 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be watching you know, Utopia on Broadway this week? 360 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: True story? All right? Uh? The irritating song for you 361 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: seat news, Well, I say yesterday my one seed is 362 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: of my least favorite song has come on Eileen Right. 363 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: I just can't stand that. But there's another one. I 364 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: feel badly about this because the guys in this band 365 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: are all very nice and they're super talented um and 366 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: I think this just has to do more with some 367 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: of the radio stations that I've worked at. But I 368 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: cannot listen to this song. It's been five days after 369 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: me not come back and sing to me. It's all 370 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: about value. I cannot say I'm sorry, little wink, because 371 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: I make you stop think you think you're looking at 372 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: acquiman a summon fish to the dish. Although I like 373 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: the Shalli like sushi. I met these guys. They they 374 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: opened up for Hoodi and the Blowfish. When Hoodie came 375 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: back on their reunion tour, he the lead singer, could 376 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: not have been a nice They could not. I've met 377 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: them several times. They could not be nicer people, and 378 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: they're extremely talented. I wouldn't turn off that song. I've so. 379 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I used to work at like Top forty radio stations 380 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: or hot AC radio stations, and I saw them in 381 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: concert at least twice a year. And at the time, 382 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: I remind you of some bad times in your life. 383 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, I don't even think about those. Uh, 384 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: that's all long, gun um. But man, it would be 385 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: like every quarter hour you had at least one Bear 386 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: Naked Ladies song on because some about the timing or whatever, 387 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: and it was it's been one. I've heard that song 388 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand times in my life. Margin the most irritating 389 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: song in your life is man, people loved this song 390 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: and I hate it. It was on my do not 391 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: playlist at my wedding. I would have killed my DJ 392 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: if you'd played this song. Okay, okay, Fritzie's actually singing 393 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: the song. I like Seedings and I like Marve's. I 394 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: like those songs. Okay, that's a bold take on that one. Yeah, Paulie, 395 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: this is like picking Michael Jordan as your favorite basketball 396 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: player of all times. This is one of the most 397 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: obvious ones. But I've hated the song since the day 398 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: came out. It was the number one song in the 399 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: country for like a month. It was by a formerly 400 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: great band, Jefferson Airplane. It's Jefferson Starship We Built a City. 401 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: It's a terrible song. Now yeah, uh, you know, Jefferson 402 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: Airplane Jefferson Starship Red Octopus is a great album. But 403 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: this is not a good song. This is Michael Jordan 404 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: on the Wizards. This is not even that. Nothing actually 405 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: sums up nineteen eighty five better than this song. Um, 406 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: it's Michael Jordan playing for the Birmingham Barons. All right, Marv, 407 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: this is my song that I will change the channel immediately. Yeah, 408 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: you just don't appreciate great song. Uh yeah, give it. Yeah, 409 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: And it's a long introduction. They don't even get to 410 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: the vocals. Forever got one of the greatest choruses of 411 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: all time. The Union's been on strike. He's down on 412 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: his lawn. Yeah, I know, it's trying to be like Springsteen. 413 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: And then Todd always does the sound effects.

It's funny, it depends where I am, 437 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: Like when I come in, when I fly into the airport, say, 438 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys wreck service from there and 439 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: they've seen zero duct thirty, so they're always very respectful. 440 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: And I find that, you know, with every you know, 441 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: police officers from Chicago that I wanted to Chicago Code, 442 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: they're always lovely to me whenever I go there, and 443 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: on the whole. Other than that, a lot of the 444 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: general public that don't really understand or know that I'm Australian, 445 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: or they don't recognize me, or would somebody do it 446 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: kind of like, okay. They're very nice though. But I 447 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: asked Keith Urban about this that he's got that Australian accent. 448 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: He's from Australia. But I didn't realize it until you 449 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: talk to him and then you're like, damn, it just 450 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: is so strange, and he goes, no, it's not. He goes, 451 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, the Beatles were from England, and you know 452 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: when they sang, nobody said, oh, they sound like they're 453 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: from England. How do you how do you make that 454 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: transition from that accent to just sounding like you're American. 455 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,239 Speaker 1: You have to. I mean, it's like, you know, it's 456 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: kind of it's a blessing actually in my mind, because 457 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: it makes you not lazy because you have to do 458 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: a different accent In Australia. The Australian accents are is 459 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: a very you know, way back in the mouth and 460 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, how are you doing? You know, you can't 461 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: really understand, you know, but it makes you do the 462 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: work Dan, you know, and that's um. You know, I 463 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: find a person's voice, or a person's accent, you know, 464 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: where they speak from, gives a lot of indication of 465 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: who they are and what they're about, you know, and 466 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: how they grew up for you know, for Jerry West, 467 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: I did you know, the governor of West Virginia. But 468 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: like his accent is stronger than Jerry's. Say so I 469 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: will use that to warm up and get my muscles 470 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: going bigger, and then I'll come back to Jerry's as 471 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: well to turn it down a bit. You know, did 472 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: you meet Jerry West before playing Jerry West? No, I 473 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: met him on your show.

There's this older man who you know, 497 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: lost so many people, including Kobe recently in that and 498 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: and a man who you know. The thing I loved 499 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: about his book, Dan was he kicked it off with 500 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: this is this is my exploration of me, you know, 501 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: and then and then you'd hear his son Ryan read it, 502 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: which that was really beautiful and that you still see 503 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: a man trying to understand himself and life and things 504 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: in it. And that's what it is for me as well, 505 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: to represent who he was at this particular time when 506 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: we could get off in seventy nine, who the writers 507 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: are writing and then give some kind of essence of, 508 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: you know, the heart of what it is like to be, 509 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: you know, a Jerry West. And as an athlete, I 510 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: was struck by the way he talked about his issues 511 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: and his problems. And it wasn't like I'm gonna summit 512 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: up or I'm gonna everything solved. He's an ongoing thing, 513 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: as we all are, and I think we all should 514 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: be open about and about as we go through life. 515 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: And and that's what I'm doing. You know, this is 516 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: no end result, or this is no definitive version, or 517 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: I think I think I'm the only person to play 518 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: Jerry West at this point. Am I'm not sure, Probably so, 519 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: probably so. But I was wondering about as I watched 520 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: the first episode. You're capturing somebody who was in constant 521 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: kind of conflict with what he was, who he is. 522 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: You know, he didn't win it eats away at him. 523 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: He was MVP but lost the NBA finals. You know, 524 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: now Jerry Buss is talking about drafting Magic Johnson, and 525 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: Jerry doesn't want Magic, you know, he wants Sydney Moncrief. 526 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: Like here, he's so combustible. Even the scene when he's 527 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: playing golf and he breaks the you know, you break 528 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: the golf club there. Everything about him is it's so intense, Like, 529 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: how do you tap into what it is that that 530 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to kind of unveil? What is it? I 531 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: think it's like I care so effing Martin. Yeah, you know, 532 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: and he talks about that, and I've had my own 533 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: struggles with that, you know, with this the business that 534 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm in, and your loves. You know, when you love big, 535 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: of course, you got to get hurt. It takes you 536 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: a long time to understand that that's okay though as 537 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: well because it's just you know, you know, and I 538 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: can relate to that. He talks about it a lot. 539 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: I guess so if being much and even at times 540 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: he tips over into things other people don't care as much, 541 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: which is a weird judgment as well, and then it 542 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: leads to a lot of combustibility. But he talked about 543 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: that with me a couple of times where he couldn't 544 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: even watch the games. Yeah, he had to drive around 545 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles during games that he slept with a shotgun 546 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: under his mattress because he was going to kill his 547 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: dad if his dad abused his mom again. I just 548 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: I can't imagine what must like. He hated losing. I 549 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: don't think he loved winning. He just hated losing so much. Yeah, 550 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: and you know, and he's one of my favorite people 551 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: that I've been around. But I didn't play against him. 552 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to be a GM when he was 553 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: being a gel like all the things where you go, Man, 554 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to compete with him. And even now 555 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: you're competing with what our image is of Jerry West. Yeah, 556 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: it's funny. Dan There was interviewed in two thousand and 557 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: sixteen where he was at he was at the Golden 558 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: State and he's talking about I didn't like, you know, 559 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: he's players hugging each other and swapping jerseys and all that. 560 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: You guys are talking about that. And I was actually 561 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: at the last when they played the Pelicans the other night, 562 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just just sat down with John 563 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: Riley and the first thing I saw and I noticed 564 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: rather than wow, I'm here, I'm court, So I was like, oh, 565 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: there's two players are hugging each other. They are opposite 566 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: teams in there. They're giving each other a hut. Jerry, 567 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: would I hate that? Let's go on here, you know 568 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: what I mean? You kick off this. He guys are 569 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: on an illusion street. This is gonna get you know. Um, yeah, 570 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: it's a funny way. There's you know, there's a companies 571 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: I've loved understanding basketball or beginning to and going into it, 572 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, and I've loved talking to guys like you 573 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: because there seems to be such a wealth of knowledge 574 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: and preparedness with the interviewers, like everyone we've talked on 575 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: the sports side of it. You know, this is not 576 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: too disrespected on the film stuff, but there's just a 577 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: deeper understanding of discussing it and thinking about it and 578 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: allowing it to be. And I guess there's more, you know, 579 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: it's more obvious black and white and sports saying with 580 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: an interpretive art. We're talking to Jason Clarke, he plays 581 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: Jerry West in the new HBO series about the Showtime Lakers. 582 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: You bring up a great point or a great point 583 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: has brought up to you about walking like an athlete, 584 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: and you can see people and you know they were 585 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: an athlete or they are an athlete. And when Jerry 586 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: still walks in, he still looks like that that was 587 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: that's a star, that that that's an athlete. He has 588 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: the long arms. It was just there's a presence about 589 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: him that feels almost a throwback in Hollywood where you're 590 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: back to the black and white era and he just 591 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: looks like a leading man. Jerry's can I mean yeah, 592 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: I mean people forget Jerry's conducted his life in front 593 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,479 Speaker 1: of people since high school, since that game in Whispered. 594 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: You know, you'd say, argue that big game with you know, 595 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: he's conducted himself in front of people for a long, long, 596 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: long time, and and he carries himself in a certain way. 597 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: You know, absolutely does he still try does He still does? 598 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: He still exercise and he plays at gin. But he's 599 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: one of those guys that he always looks like he 600 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: came out of a catalog. Yeah, he looks like he 601 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: looks after himself. He eats well, you know, yeah, and 602 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: takes care of himself without being too It's like Joe 603 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: Demaggio was still alive. You know that that you know, 604 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: that presence that they when they when he dressed as 605 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: well though too, I know addresses. No, he's right out 606 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: of GQ. He's right out of a catalog. But but 607 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: you do know when like there's certain actors and you've 608 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: been there in the room when you go oh damn, 609 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: Like somebody walks in and you go oh. When I 610 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: when I met Michael Douglas, I was like, oh my god, 611 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: that's a movie star when when he walked in. And 612 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: it's fascinating, isn't it. You know. One of the things 613 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: was Heath Ledger. I knew Heath many many years ago, 614 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: and Heath always had something about him that was you know, 615 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: quite expecially quite straordinary. He knew that, you know, something 616 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: He gravit, you know, and the camera gravitates to him. 617 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,479 Speaker 1: People gravitated to him. Clint Eastwood when we met him 618 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, like we're all nervous. We're like, 619 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: there's Clintwood. There's Clint Eastwood. And I walked over to 620 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: him and said, high, Clint, I'm Dan. Patrick goes, yeah 621 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: you are. Yeah, and that was it. But he's got 622 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: so he's got an amazing let us such. I remember that. 623 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: I loved. I don't think he was one of my 624 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: favorite movies. That's see where he's filling up. They had 625 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: given him the right, you know, and the boats too. Yeah, 626 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm a writer. I'm a writer, and he what letters 627 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: and such, you know, it's just such letters and such 628 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: outlined because he just fired killed five dudes. It was funny. 629 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: The other thing that was interesting was I really learned 630 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: to hear Jerry swear on your show too, and some 631 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: of the outtakes and some of the leadings. I heard 632 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: the first bits of that, which was a real another 633 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: key into you know, the public Jerry and the private 634 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: Jerry and the relaxed Jerry or the on Jerry. You know, 635 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: and it's jarring. It was jarring from me when I 636 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: heard here was just like, yes, yes, I can hear 637 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: him in there. Now I'm getting because because he is, 638 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: he's you know, and he has to conduct himself as 639 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: well when you're talking to you know, when you're when 640 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: you're caught sight of a game or what everyone's watching 641 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: what you said, he's not doing that, but like you're 642 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: saying anymore because you're on camera and it's getting so close. 643 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: So but you know, it was focused. I swear a 644 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: bit in there. You know, I go over the top 645 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: as well. You know, it's with TV and we're we're 646 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: reinforcing the legend as well as you know, the reality. Yeah, 647 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: and um, but it was, you know, it was. It 648 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: was good to hear that. And then there was there 649 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: was there was another guy that worked with it this year. 650 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: You know, Jerry fucking swears Law.

I put it on my 655 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: iPod and listened to it all the time. That's how 656 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: I warm up. You're twenty sixte eating the peper starters 657 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: going on. I warm up by listening to that again 658 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 1: and again, again and again. But look at this dude. 659 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: So that's the Jerry West bobblehead. Is it good? It 660 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: is a good Jerry? Yeah? Am I doing good? Okay? 661 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: Is it gonna likely? No? No, no, no, no no no, 662 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: no he's not. Yeah. Are you curious what Jerry thinks 663 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: of you playing Jerry? You know I am, I am, 664 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: of course I am, of course I care, I deeply. 665 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: Can you know I understand that you know, you've got children, 666 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: you've got to do it's a different time now in period, 667 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: and that there's a lot of concerns, and it's yourself, 668 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,439 Speaker 1: and you know that it's not something that maybe he's 669 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: welcoming of and everything. And if I ever do meet someone, 670 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, I've reached out out of courtesy, but I 671 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it a a right. I'd love 672 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: to have a glass of wine with the man and 673 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: discuss art, you know, or the things or the history. 674 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: We have a lot of similar interests and um, and 675 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: so you know I would um, you know, I get it. 676 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you're Jerry West. I guess 677 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: you've got to expect that in your heart that somebody 678 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: sometime is going to play you, and so long as 679 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: they're not disrespectful, and so long as they're you know, 680 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: they're not libelous. You know it's going to happen when 681 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: you've done what the man's done. So I'd be more 682 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: than happy to have a glass of burgundy and not 683 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: even bring it up. Thank you, Jason, good luck.
