WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Jerry West (05-28-20) 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.280 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Thursday, and I get 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.560 the honor of talking to Jerry West coming up, just 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.840 turned eighty two. Why does he look better at eighty 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.000 two than I do at sixty four? That's not fair 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:19.880 And it still feels like he get hit a jumper. 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.400 We'll talk to Jerry, he'll join his coming up. Why 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.240 the obsession with Mike Tyson suddenly? Like what happened? Where 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.240 all of a sudden we want to see Mike Tyson. 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:35.560 He's gonna fight Tyson fury, maybe bare knuckles, maybe MMA wrestling. 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.360 That's what happens when you have downtime. All of a sudden, 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.640 Mike Tyson is getting back in the ring and we 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.120 see his workouts. Now, Vander Holyfield says, hey, I'd fight him, 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.520 all right, But I was just surprised that this Mike 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.480 Tyson's in his early fifties. Here he still looks good. 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.760 But do I want to see a Vander Holyfield Mike 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.720 Tyson Tyson Holyfield three? Not really. I didn't want to 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.080 see Floyd Mayweather going against Gonna McGregor, but they want 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.360 to try to do that again. I didn't want to 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.680 see Manny Paciel go against Floyd Mayweather again. But they 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.640 were talking about doing that. God, I hope we are. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.759 I don't like sequels. Now. Occasionally, when it comes to boxing, 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.959 you'll have a sequel, you'll have a rematch, and it 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:28.360 works out. Ali Frasier was wonderful. It doesn't always work out. 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.360 But you know, you had that time period where you know, 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:37.720 Sugar Bay, Leonard, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns. You know, 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.840 they were fighting each other a couple of times and 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.199 they were great fighters. But when it comes to Mike 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.119 Tyson of Ander Holyfield and you want to see him 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.600 back in the ring again, Yeah, I'm not that desperate 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.720 yet for Sports Live Sports. You want to Tyson in 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:58.000 the wrestling ring, Okay, I'm okay with that. Mma. I 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.720 don't know how good Mike would be with m Yes, Todd, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.520 would they embrace a whole bite night promotion and kind 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.000 of play it up the whole third fight? I think 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.160 that might be interesting, Thank you, Tod. You probably that 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.040 probably hasn't been used after it before. No, I don't 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.280 think so. I don't think so, Yes, point, you know, 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.320 I don't think that the Tyson holy Field fight thing? 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.679 Is that crazy right now because of what the landscape. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.600 It's not crazy, but that's my problem with what's going 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.919 on right now. It's not crazy, but I think they 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.560 have about a month and a half left to get 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.600 this fight off. Like the Tiger Phil golf thing, it 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.240 got six million people because there wasn't a lot on 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.040 it was really well made. But they're still relevant. Yes, 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.000 And then you put if you don't have Brady and 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.120 Peyton in there, because when Tiger and Phil first played 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:43.120 the first match, it wasn't exciting, but Brady and Peyton 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.520 made it really interesting. Here. I'd like to say that 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.080 I wouldn't pay for holy Field versus Tyson, but I 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.680 might be lying to you right now. It depends on 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.480 what the undercard was. If you had an interesting, legitimate undercard, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:59.760 then maybe yeah, I might be interested in that. But 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.160 if you say, hey, would you shell out a one 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.640 hundred dollars to see Tyson fight holy Field? And people 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.400 probably would. But if you said, all right, fifty bucks 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.760 to watch Tyson and Holyfield as long as it doesn't 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.880 start at midnight Eastern, then yeah, they're too old. They 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.800 gotta start like a four pm Eastern. You imagine it 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.080 gets to be like nine thirty and Mike's nodding off 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:25.760 just tired. Early Bird special pay per view got a 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.200 big day of me to. I saw this from Mark 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.000 stein He's a great NBA writer for the New York Times. 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.840 His prediction on the Stein line. At the Stein line, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.440 NBA invites twenty teams to Orlando. Thirty is too many 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.560 to host comfortably, twenty four too arbitrary. Some non playoff 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.440 teams and they would want to play some don't. Sixteen 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.120 is the fairest of all. Thirty can't be invited, so 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.040 twenty is the easiest compromise. Top eight in each conference 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.120 in the West, it would be nine through twelve, so 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.240 that would give you your twenty teams. Mark stein Us 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.960 go on to say one related matter of interest for 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:09.040 record book nerds in quotations like me parenthesis, I should say, 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.520 to be exact, who obsessed about such things? If San 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.080 Antonio was invited to Orlando as team number twenty, will 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.800 that count as a playoff berth number twenty three in 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.920 a row? You're right, Mark, you lost me here because 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.000 there's way too many things to worry about. Then does 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.440 that officially count as a playoff berth for the San 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:32.320 Antonio Spurs. I couldn't care less sure, let him celebrate 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:38.000 twenty three in our own This is in new times, 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:43.120 new rules, and put an asterisk by. Doesn't it feel 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.920 it feels like we're handing out asterisk. Let's put an 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.640 asterisk by the year of the Asterisk. I talked about 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.680 this a couple of weeks ago that, you know, with 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.440 what's going on with quarantine and when we have games, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.680 can you get fans to come out? But what about 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.440 the college football atmosphere? Because let's say your football team 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.080 is playing in the stadium. You can't go in, but 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.359 you're going to be outside. You're as close as you 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.960 can possibly be. Now, can police cordon off the parking 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.040 lot and not allow anybody to go in? Are they 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.920 just going to go somewhere else close to Maybe you're 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.320 a half mile away from the stadium, but you're sort 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.360 of tailgating here. And can you get people to come in, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.359 allow them to come in? And can there be social 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.160 distancing here? Will Leach wrote an article for a New 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.640 York magazine on this topic, and he talked about the 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:47.200 mayor of Athens, Georgia, Kelly Gertz, Georgia hosts ninety thousand fans, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.599 so six times a year they fill the stadium with 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:55.880 ninety thousand fans SEC football. Upwards of thirty thousand people 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.839 will go to Athens, Georgia from across the state without 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:04.080 any intention of attending the game. You have ninety thousand inside, 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.159 you may have thirty thousand who are coming in and 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.440 they're not going to go to the game, They're just 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.239 going to tailgate. If you have a high profile opponent, 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.440 as will Leach mentions like Notre Dame, you're getting a 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:21.520 big number here. The contact tracing nightmare and one that 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:26.440 local officials are almost powerless to withstand. The mayor of Athens, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.200 Georgia says that the job would be a lot easier 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.680 if nobody was allowed into the stadium, letting twenty thousand 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.440 fans in the stands, which would still be only twenty 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.880 percent of capacity. Quote is basically waving a flag that 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.560 says come on down. But because Georgia is a state university, 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.600 it does not have to adhere to any local statutes 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.919 that might differ from the state, and the university's current 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:53.760 plan anticipates a full football season and quote relatively normal 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.960 conditions that means you're going to have fans in the stands. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.800 I don't know if you're going to get maybe twenty 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.160 thous and that will be allowed in. Are you going 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.760 to allow fans to tailgate? Can you stop them from tailgating? 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.800 And I think that this is it's a question. I 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.440 don't want to say it's a concern, but I mean, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.600 we know what concerns are now. We have real concerns, 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.200 not Hey, could I tailgate or not? Boy, that's a 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.480 real concern. It's a question that I have And I 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.360 don't know if college football is ready to answer that 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.920 just yet. And maybe they shouldn't answer it because we 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.200 have a little bit of time here before you let 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.040 fifteen twenty twenty five thousand into a stadium safe distancing. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.040 But they're going to be people who show up to tailgate. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.320 If you let fans in, there'll be people who show 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.720 up to tailgate. Even if you don't let fans in, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.240 there will be fans who will show up to tailgate. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.840 Greg and Illinois joining us. Hey Greg, what do you 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:52.200 have for me? Hey? Dan? How are you doing? Good? Sir? Good? Good? Hey? 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.520 Actually will each and I are from the same hometown 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.040 and all that's where my dad reside. He's currently alive 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:02.240 and well. By the way, anyway, I was wondering where 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.840 your favorite place is to tailgate or watch a college 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.960 football game. By the way, thank you, Greg, Greg with 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.960 a shot saying his dad was still alive as a 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.560 shot at myself and Paulie and Fritzie. Well done, Greg, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.000 show off. Yeah, Elda, And because of that, I'm not 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.960 going to answer your question made fun of my dad 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.880 being dead. Doug in North Carolina, Hi Dock. First off, Dan, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.560 thank you for what you guys have done for the 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.400 last couple of months. You've kept me from being absolutely 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.080 lonely and going insane. So I hope you guys sincerely 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.240 a heartfelt thank you for what you add to my 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.880 day every day. Thank you. I wanted to ask I 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.640 think this is a brilliant question. I haven't heard anyone 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.359 talk about this. But when you have a players association 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.480 negotiating with the league, even if it gets ugly like 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.160 it's getting in baseball, at the end of the day, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.920 when there's an agreement, there's no liability worry for the league. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:55.920 College football, college sports in general does not have a 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.280 players association. So my question is and I'm not a lawyer. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.480 I know you're not. It's are they going to have 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.560 to have a waiver from every single player before they 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.920 can come back and play the games? Probably? So, I 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.880 mean I don't know legal details here, but you know, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.960 if you're a parent and your son is going to 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.440 be playing football in the fall, what safeguards are there? 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.800 What measures are put in place? And you don't have 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.640 a union, you know, these players, we just assume, Hey, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.439 you're getting a free scholarship here, come on in, you're 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.439 gonna play. And that's why when we had Chip Kelly 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.040 on a couple of weeks ago, I said to Chip 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.920 how much of a voice do your players have? He said, 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.120 they have a large voice here and they should. They're 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.880 the ones taking the risk coming back Gary and I 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.400 will join us. Hi, Gary, what do you have for 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.480 me morning? Dan? I just wanted to give it a 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.600 goal that you know that I almost want to get 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.280 work anymore because you're not on my TV anymore? How 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.920 to raid my service? But anyway, I'm watching that movie 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.760 on Netflix stall the gins of that satellite and wow, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.480 saying the man's perspective on that, and I'm looking forward. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.319 I'm looking for you in every movie, and I was 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.840 seeing you in this one yet well that wasn't produced 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.640 by Sandler, but thank you, that was the Safti brothers 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.760 who did that. So sand Man didn't bring me in. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.439 But he is working on a movie in conjunction with 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:22.240 Lebron James's production company, and it's about a basketball player 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:27.960 in Europe. And I've helped Sandler a little bit in consulting. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:29.839 I don't know if I have a role in that, 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.160 but you know we have discussed that. But he is 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.200 working with Lebron James's people for this project and still 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.720 waiting for my script. But I uncut JEMs. It's on Netflix, 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.720 now watch it. You know. I love sand Man but 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.520 I wouldn't stare you wrong. He's great in this movie 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.720 and you can see why I thought that he deserved 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.680 an Oscar nomination. I thought he was really really well done. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.719 The movie was well done and he was great. Yes, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.080 MC club, I could think of four guys who could 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:04.920 play Europe and basketball extras. I think you could, mclovin. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.439 I don't think anybody else could. How about like a 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.640 ball boy or something could do that, could do that, 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:16.079 could do that? Mm, yeah, I don't know. I think 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:20.440 the days of you getting in Sandler movies might be over. Yeah, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.360 it feels well about six years ago. Well, yeah, he 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.520 doesn't bring it up as much as he used to. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.280 And remember when we say, Danny, I'll get the Dane's 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.320 in it, and then I'd go because I said, look, 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.960 it's hard for me to leave the show to go 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.160 shoot a movie. It's great if the Danets are in it. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.720 And then he puts you guys in a couple of 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:44.720 them and uh, I think the windows closing? Yeah, mc 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.480 was it our performance? And when we were walking across 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.040 the parking lot in that one, that, uh, because I 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.240 thought I walked really unnaturally. I was worried about that. Yeah. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.800 You it's weird if I say, hey, you're gonna walk 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.000 on camera. Mclovin, you you can't walk on You don't 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.079 walk naturally. Nope. Yeah, point, it is weird to have 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:11.120 someone tell you to walk and controlled fashion. The director 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.200 Robert Smichael goes, just walk next to each other like 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.080 you're walking into a baseball game, and we all try 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.960 to keep in line with each other, which you would 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.280 not do if you're walking before bros. It would just 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.880 walk and chit chat, not notice what's around you, but 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.319 you're also couldn't talk, so it looked like we were marching. Well, 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.680 the worst thing is is when they see it, just 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:32.480 act naturally. You don't know what natural is. They just 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.600 act naturally. Okay, what is natural about this setting? Then 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.400 I'm in, But I still go back to the prison scene. Boy, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.520 we nailed it. Todd almost got kicked out of that scene, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.120 which is really hard to do. When Sandler says, you're 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.120 in the scene and you guys were the news cameras 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.120 that were following me around. Such a surreal experience that 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.440 we were all there and what you been. The first 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:01.520 thing in my mind was the last thing in my 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.520 mind to look like I was actually shooting something with 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.720 a fake camera. Instead, I was pointing at the wall 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.320 and just watching a movie scene that we had no 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.839 business being a part of happening before my eyes. Todd 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.640 is supposed to be giving the impression that he's shooting 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.560 this scene with me interviewing Adam Sandler and his son 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:27.160 Andy Sandber and Todd. So Todd puts the camera to 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.040 the side and is watching the scene. And that's the 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.200 only way you could get yelled at is just put 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.920 the camera up and Todd puts the camera down and 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.320 he's watching the scene as if you know, he's a 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.320 member of the audience. Such a simple thing to do, 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.280 but I became a spectator. I forgot I was supposed 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.120 to be actually in the scene. Yeah, point And it 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.240 stands out because Seaton was also camera and it scenes 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.160 all crouched down, and I don't know they ever held 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.160 a camera in a professional fashion, but he's got the 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.960 eye thing. It's not that difficult to look like you're 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.280 the filming is what's hard, not holding the camera looking 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.880 like you're filming. Todd's got the camera at nine angle 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.160 away from the action and just going oh, that's cool 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.040 air Susan Surrandon wouldn't have made less sense when I 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.240 was doing with the camera bear God. Yeah, see, I 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.679 was gonna say, to be fair to Todd. As the 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.080 other cameraman on that shoot, there wasn't. I just kind 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.560 of assumed we were supposed to be pointing that way, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.160 but it was never really said like, oh, hey, so 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.480 you're filming these people. I just kind of assumed it. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.480 I got lucky. I got lucky, and I was so 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.840 happy that I wasn't when the producer had said, now, boys, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.200 it's fine. If you see me, that means it's terrible. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.920 That means it's really bad. And we did one take 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.240 and he came storming out of the door. What are 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.200 you doing? You're there's no bedside. Now I believe the 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:47.760 words were Todd, You're terrible. Yeah, And so now I 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.280 feel now I'm even more nervous because I'm not I 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.360 have to have my lines and I'm there with Susan Surrandon. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.880 I got Sandler and Andy Samberg, and I got to 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.920 get my lines. Right now, I'm worried that Todd can't 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.560 hold a camera that's a fake camera to give the 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.600 appearance he's filming the scene. Not to mention, you went 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.520 out of your way to get us all into a 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.880 scene in the movie, and I'm like, totally ruining it 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.360 for you. So it looks bad for Sandler and the gang, 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.280 but he allowed that to happen. Yeah, it's just bad 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:22.680 in every possible direction. Yeah, what are you doing? Oh? 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.440 And of course Susan Sarandon has no idea who we are, none, 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.800 and see she sees Adam Sandler's partner Jack Carapood to 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.720 run out what are you doing and then starts yelling 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.160 at Todd and I go, oh my god, this is 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.840 going to be really bad. All you have to do 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.480 is hold a camera, Todd and give the appearance you're shooting. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.160 Seems simple enough. Yeah, You're like, hey, they're shooting a 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:46.720 scene over here. Let me put down my camera and 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.320 look over. Always got to complicate everybody. All right, More 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.960 phone calls coming up, and Jerry West will join us 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.040 in the on deck circle.

I actually been in 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.240 Palm Springs for about two and a half months, and 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.680 let's getting a little hot down here. It's about ready 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.960 to have back to Los Angeles here very soon. Happy birthday, 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.359 by the way, is the best gift to not bring 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.720 up that it's your birthday? Well, then I guess I've 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.000 been fortunate to be around for eighty two years. And 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.440 also it's my anniversary, so I thought it would the 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.440 best to get married on my birthday, so I'd never 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.360 forget it. But I did forget it one time. That's 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:26.679 for size. What happened just in the middle of a season. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.160 And sometimes when you get there, you just birthdays when 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:35.720 ever important? When I when I grew up, and I 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:39.760 guess it was just a minor thing, and more importantly, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:44.440 you know it was it was just something. It wasn't important, 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.560 And I guess you should go along today and been involved. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.000 And obviously a few people know me. I've gotten a 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.919 lot of notes and everything, and it's really nice to 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.320 hear from people at this point in your life. And 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.920 this is your fortieth wedding, end of three, So forty 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.320 years ago. How many NBA players showed up for your wedding? 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.120 I don't know if any did. Forty actually forty two, Dan, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.080 all forty two years ago, right, Okay, so you didn't 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.240 have teammates who showed up for your wedding. Oh no, no, 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.960 this was This was well after my career, and I 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.320 mean playing days, and it wasn't a huge wedding anyway. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:29.520 But anyway, a lot of a lot of crazy things 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.880 I've seen in my life in my eighty two years 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.920 a time for sure, Well, happy birthday. How how many 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:41.199 conversations have you had with Clippers players or Doc Rivers 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.520 or anybody Steve Balmer with the possibility of when we 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:49.399 come back? Actually a number, Dan, we uh are like 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.080 all teams. I'm sure we've had a lot of stuff 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.119 like this going on. We have to try to have 0:18:55.200 --> 0:19:00.840 a guest each week that provides some insight on some 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:05.520 of the things they've done as athletes, very successful people, 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.000 and issues that they've gone through in their lives, and 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.760 they're really talking about how do you keep yourself motivated 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.840 during this period of time when there's so much uncertainty around. 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.920 But at the end of the day, I think these 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:24.040 conversations of help because they keep people aligned, and I 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:29.320 think more importantly, here's some people who had enormous success 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.640 and their expective feels in their lives. Yeah, we're trying 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.560 to figure this out, and then I don't know what 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.320 safeguards are put in place, and can we put everybody 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.560 in Orlando? And how many teams do we take? Playoff wise? 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.440 Do you have suggestions on that of do we make 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:48.159 it twenty because there's four teams that are closer in 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.639 the West for that final playoff spot. Well, Dan, I 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.080 think first of all to me, and I've said this before, 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:56.880 and I don't want what they'll do, but I think 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.800 they need to have at least teams play at least 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.000 seventy two games, okay, because it's only twelve less in 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.280 a regular season, and also it gives a team that 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.760 are on the bubble and trying to make a playoff. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.439 It'll give them a chance to get in there and 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.640 compete at a high level to try to get into 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.960 the playoffs. And then I'm not sure how the playoff 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.879 format would work, and on would they expand a little 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.960 bit more. I think the most awkward thing and the 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.840 questions we ask all of these really fun people that 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:33.000 that we've been involved with, great players and a lot 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:37.879 of respective fields, what their advice might be. And you know, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.440 the one thing I think most people don't realize when 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:45.000 you're trying to stimulate your players and keep them involved 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:50.359 with their friends and also their teammates, it's communication. And 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.960 the league is communicating as much as they can. There's 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:56.880 a lot of things they have to take in consideration here. 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.440 But this is obviously Dan an awkward time and trying 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.600 to figure out what the dynamics they're going to be. 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.920 People were talking about playing in a bubble with both, 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.360 with both with no fans. I'm not sure of how 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.320 they could do it. In one point, he said to me, 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.760 that would be better to let the teams in the West, say, 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.879 play in Las Vegas, where it's facilities, there plenty of 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:23.159 hotel rooms, and in Orlando to keep the teams in 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.400 the East. That would make it a little bit easier. 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:32.160 I think also to satisfy the contents of our relationship 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:37.160 with ESTN, a relationship with TND and all our providers 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:41.720 who are broadcasting the games. Were people who are frankly 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.960 starving for competition. Yeah, I'm with you. I thought that 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.439 they were going to do, you know, like a satellite 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.399 city and have it in Las Vegas and have the 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.320 West Coast teams play there, and then have the East 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.000 Coast teams play in Orlando. The question would be, then 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.560 where do you play the NBA Championship. I guess you 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.240 could have one team go to Orlando or Vegas. What 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.080 about the possibility that you could have a Lakers Clippers 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.080 NBA Finals. If we're just going to seat at one 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:13.240 through sixteen and not have the East Coast West Coast Jerry, Well, well, 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.040 for me, Dan, that would be the ultimate competition. I 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.560 think in Los Angeles, you know, they have so many 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:22.800
