WEBVTT - Hour 2 Dan talks to John Skipper 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:08.360 Sports Radio. It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:12.480 The Dan as Dan Patrick Show. I first tested positive 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.840 Saturday morning for COVID, and the next forty eight hours 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.840 were pretty tough. Seventy two hours were pretty tough. Took 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.720 Monday off and then felt good on Tuesday when I 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.040 came in. Didn't feel that good yesterday and feel even 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.320 worse today. This is one of those where you have 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.720 no energy whatsoever, and it feels like if you were 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.199 talking about cabin pressure on an airplane. That's what it 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.320 feels like inside your head. Voice is cracking a little 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:43.760 bit here, but Pauli says it sounds sexy. It's like 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:49.920 a male version of Demi Moore ish. Yes, but thanks 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.320 for bearing with us on the program. Yes, still outside, 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.800 the dan Ets are safe and sound inside, but we 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.960 do have visits occasionally. They'll do drive buzz and be 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.040 like twenty feet away and have the mask on, and 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.319 you know, Fritzie comes storming through. Though Fritzie comes out 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.640 here quite a bit. Yes, Tohn, I'm going to address 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.760 the elephant in the room, even though it seems a 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.240 little incentitive. But looking ahead to tomorrow. Since you're in 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.120 the trigger grill section there, how does that work after 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:23.080 the show tomorrow? That's slightly incentitive, But I'm thinking about tomorrow. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.640 That's not canceled right on lunch or anything, because you 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.200 have to be out there. Okay, if there's a difference 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.480 between there's gonna be lunch tomorrow or me being healthy tomorrow, 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.360 I want you to be healthy. But a close second 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.840 would be cooking some burgers. What do we got. I 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.560 got to figure out the menu for tomorrow, But I am. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.559 I am planning on being here tomorrow. Had my doubts 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.959 this morning. In fact, I came in and we had 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.240 our morning meeting, or at least we were going to, 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.720 and I said, Paulie, you handle things, and I'm gonna 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.520 go out in my car. So got out in the Mercedes. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.760 Just had the seat go all reclines all the way 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.640 back at the old days. Yeah, well I didn't drive 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.560 him Mercedes in the old days. But I was like, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.480 oh man, I could easily just fall asleep here. But 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.600 every day it's the Super Bowl. Fritzie keeps reminding the 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.840 event every day. Let's go, Yeah, I know, two more hours, 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.880 I know. Fritzie Fritzie walks by me. He goes soft. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.160 No he didn't, but it's okay in a fun way. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.799 It's all playful. It's all playful stuff. Yeah. And then 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.480 I goes content, I said what you saying? Goes what 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.840 I said, did you say soft? And he goes yeah. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.720 I said, all right, all right, game on. Try to 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.320 motivate someone that like every two weeks that's up, you know, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.840 it's emergency room, got forbid or at some other places. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.400 I got a zoom in. I deserved it. As you 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.760 would say, I'm cavetching, and I don't. I don't mean 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.839 to be cavetching. No one likes a yeah, No they don't. Yes. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.200 When you were taking your pre show nap, we were discussing, 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.640 all right, how we're going to work on this, how 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.480 are we gonna do this? And seeing that ideas we 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.320 should find a list that makes Dan really really upset 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.720 and then he'll think about that for the next three hours. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.959 So we've been scouring for horrible internet lists. Yeah, is 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.880 there the greatest college basketball Player of All Time list? 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.880 Michael Jordan? Yeah, with Michael Jordan. I still I haven't 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.760 found anybody who voted on that poll because I want 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.240 to know, and I you know who I talked to 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.120 Jay Billis about that. He said, Jay, what are you doing? 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.160 Can't you help people in there? And I think Jay 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.560 was really shocked that they had Michael Jordan as the 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.359 greatest college player of all time? All right, age seven 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.720 seven three d P show email address DP at Dan 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.720 Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. One of 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.920 my former bosses, John Skipper, is going to join us. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.800 He's the former president of ESPN. I thought he'd be 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.040 interesting to talk to a very smart guy about what 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.920 Fox is going to get or hopes to get with 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.800 Tom Brady and really what the landscape is with analysts 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.760 now broadcasters, and do you get your money's worth out 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.600 of it? Like what's it mean? ESPN now has Joe 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:59.880 Buck and Troy Aikman. Amazon has Al Michaels like having 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.040 a figurehead Jim Nance of course deeply entrenched at CBS, 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.480 Mike Tarico at NBC. But we'll talk to John Skipper 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.400 about that. Also, Steve SAMs, our buddy from the Golf Chip, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.160 they're a great play by play announcer, will join us 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.560 a little bit later. We'll talk about what's going on 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.359 in the PGA. Tour and players wanting to player in 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:25.040 the it's a Saudi backed league. But is it LIV 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:31.480 is it would that be fifty four in Roman numeroan numerous. Yeah, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.520 I'm not sure if it's the Live Tour, the LIV Tour, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.239 the fifty four Tour, but it's backed by a couple 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.800 of billion dollars with Saudi Arabia. Yes, it's being referred 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.599 to as the Live Golf Invitational, Live Golfing, and Live Golfing, okay, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.680 and I think they have twelve events and four of 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.400 those who are in the United States. When I first 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.440 heard about it, I thought, oh, they're gonna get these 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.760 players to go to Saudi Arabia to play golf. All right, now, 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.560 welcome on to the show. Five time Live Tour champion 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.839 m doesn't have the same ring of it. Sorry, yes, yes, Paul. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.240 Maybe I have to live fair at the end of 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.000 the season to celebrate, Okay. So they left off the 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.240 E so you wouldn't think it's the Live Tour. So 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.200 it's l i V for a live tour, right because 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.280 l I V could be live or live. Yeah, so 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.520 it's not that dot the LIV Tour, not like the PGA. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.160 Yes Toime and who would the lovely Master of ceremonies 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:41.520 be for that event time? Um no, No, I could 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.480 do a live rick about this scuff of it. Uh yeah, sure, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.200 Becau's a limerick, but it's a liver. Sometimes sometimes I 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.360 just acknowledge for c and I just see, yeah, yeah, 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.920 go ahead, because I know I would either do that 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.400 or I do that before I would go no, Todd, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:05:59.680 I don't want you to do it. No, I want 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.040 to do it, and then we go back and forth. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.240 It's just easier to say, yeah, go ahead, I'll take 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.000 that over. Thank you, Todd, which is extremely dismissing. Thinks 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.120 so likely the best part of thank you, Todd is 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:15.520 when you go you're welcome. Welcome. We talked about what 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.400 happened in the playoffs last night with the I'm watching 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:23.160 the game and I keep thinking, man, Milwaukee making this interest. Oh, 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.240 Milwaukee's really close. Milwaukee has a chance to take the 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.080 Milwaukee's gonna win this game if it could go wrong. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.480 It did go wrong. Unbelievable finish there, and you know, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.039 Jannie somehow makes it look easy. He's scoring forty points 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.839 against a really good defensive team. But Mark is smart. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.440 He's the defensive player. Of the Year, but he went 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.479 up against Drew Holliday, who certainly could lay claim to that. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.440 He certainly was last night the defensive player of the 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.800 game with a couple of had a steal on a 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:58.760 block shot in successive possessions. You gotta have somebody step up. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.919 Jannis can go for four, but with no Chris Middleton, 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.880 you need somebody who's gonna step up. And you saw 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.839 that last night. Bobby Portous offensive rebounds and Drew Holliday 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.360 hit big shots when you needed it. Yes, Marue Holidays 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:16.000 looking for that Larry Bird Eastern Conference MVP Championship of 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.520 the World. Oh, is that the new trophy that they're 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.640 handing out? It is? Wait now, this is if you 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.440 win the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, then you get a 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.840 trophy in the Western Conference. So it's the Larry Bird 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.000 Eastern Conference Finals MVP. Yeah, it's easier to say the 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.360 ECF MVP, Dad, that's how we say at the ECF MVP, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.400 the WCF MVP Season one, Part two. And now, who 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.840 is that named after the Western Conference Finals MVP. I 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:54.080 think it's Oscar Robertson close it's Magic Johnson. Are you sure? Well, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.640 if you're gonna have Larry, then you have magic. I 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.760 get that. And of course not to cut you off, 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.800 but the cut you off. Our good friend Nick Right 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.720 upset that you know who isn't the trophy's not named 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:13.080 after after Lebron Lebron, Yes, he's furious. Well I don't. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.280 I don't know if I could name it after an 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:22.960 active player. Nick Rights going to join us? No he's not, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:27.080 but he would be. He's fuming over it. There's there's 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.600 so many more important things to worry about that it, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.559 like Lebron's new teammates next year or who's his coach 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.240 going to be? Not they didn't name the award after Lebron. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.600 James DraftKings has updated odds to win the NBA title 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:51.840 Sons tops. Number two is the Warriors, three is the Bucks, Fours, 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:59.120 the Heat. Then it's Celtic Sixers, Dallas and Memphis. Yes, good, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:05.120 Seaton is taking the Memphis Grizzlies to win this series. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.040 I got you right where I watch it. Okay, If 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.640 and if you're correct and they win the series, then 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.720 Pauli gets two pies. But if Memphis happens to lose 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.400 Golden State Advances, then Seaton gets one pie. Do I 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.360 have my math correct there, Paul, Yes. And the awards situation, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.400 the confusion was the individual awards are the Magic Johnson 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.040 Larry Bird Awards, but the newly designed Eastern Conference champions 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.200 Trophy will be named after Bob Couzy, former Celtic MVP, 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.920 and the Western Conference Champion Trophy will be named after 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:40.520 Oscar Robertson, not Robinson. They do, yeah, people will always 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.520 bring up Oscar. That Oscar Robinson man, I go Robertson. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.040 He averaged a triple double. People don't know any other 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.040 stats with Oscar. You know, one of the great rebounding guards. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.600 I mean he was a big guard. You have to 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.920 understand that that. You know, guards might be six feet 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.960 tall six one six two Oscar six to five. But 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.600 he was big and athletic, and he and Jerry West 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.720 had great battles. But you know, Oscar, you know, kind 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:13.440 of toiled in oblivion with Cincinnati. That's when I first 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.760 got a chance to see Oscar play. And then he 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.120 went to Milwaukee with that famous trade and he ended 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.079 up winning a championship there with louwell Sendor John Skipper 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.679 the mother Ship will join us coming up. Phone calls 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.320 are always welcome and Fritzie, it's a National Limerick Day. 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.000 You provided us with one in the first hour, and 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.000 white cheat the audience that didn't get to hear that exactly, 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.480 and don't you give them another limerick? Okay, this is 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.600 a limerick about limerick. About doing a limerick today, I 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.839 feel really alive, and it's not just from taking him drive. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.640 It's a National Limerick Day. Don't ignore so rhyme lines 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.800 three and four and do the same for one, two 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.439 and five. All right for those that aren't sure yet 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:51.880 to what the limerick is or I had to write 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.319 one that needs like a cartoon animation to go with 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.800 that one. And I give a shout out to one 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.720 about sponsors. He got a whole lot backed in there. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:05.560 Well done time, Thanks, thank you, You're welcome. I do yeah, 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:10.080 I'm not sincere and you're not sincere. No blue, blue blue. Well, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.480 when Reed Debtmer's tossed the no hitter for the Angels, 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.679 that was just his eleventh Major League start. There have 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.520 been a total of three hundred and sixteen no hitters 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.720 throughout history. Holding a team to no hits through nine 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.800 is tough, but no hitters have become a little more commonplace, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.000 and if you look at the batting averages, the league 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.320 batting average has plummeted over the years. From nineteen ninety 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.080 eight to two thousand and nine, baseball's batting average was 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:41.600 over two sixty the average this year the number is 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.960 two thirty three. Players are swinging for the fences and 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.120 that gives pitchers a big advantage. But also Debtoners only 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.480 struck out two. That to me is what's surprising. He 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.200 just had them put the ball in play. Greg Maddocks 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.040 famously would do this, put the ball in play, have 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.320 them beat themselves else. And I don't think that anything's 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.600 going to change with analytics. I think no hitters are 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.040 going to continue to be more and more prevalent in 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.200 today's game. Justin Verlander had a no hitter through eight 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.120 innings on the same night that read Detmer's through his 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.560 no hitter. Can we check and see the last time 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.600 somebody threw a no hitter and had two strikeouts or less. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.880 See if you can get some of our stats guys 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.960 on that. Fritzie, I'm on it all right. Let's see 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.959 anything else that we need to recap here, Pauline. No 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.400 new news from the schedule release. In the NFL. Well, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.280 let's ride up a little bit. Yeah, the big news 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.040 will be the opening night that Thursday night, and then 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.720 the Sunday night that's always big, and then we have 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:46.640 a double header on Monday night, I believe, so those 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.839 will be the interesting things. That's all I care about 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.079 is what happens during that first weekend. Yeah, Paul, do 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.640 you can find yourselves forgetting who's announcing for Witch channel 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.960 right now? I don't. I'm not sure. Is Trico doing NBC? Yes? Yea, 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:05.040 and yeah Alice on Amazon? Yes, Joe Buck is ESPN Football, Yeah, alright, 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.360 boxes Greg greg Olson for a couple of months, Yes, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.720 GE's that gig, Kevin Burkhart, alright, and then Greg Olsen 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.360 goes to second team when you get demoted once Tom 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.559 Brady decides to well, who knows how long's Brady's gonna play? Oh? 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.840 I saw where there was an over under. You guys 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:29.439 want to guess the over under? Uh Tom Brady touchdowns 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:35.200 over under this year? If I gave you the over under, 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:40.360 if I gave you um over under, you guys want 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.840 to guess what the over under is for Tom Brady 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:48.560 touchdown passes this year Paulie thirty three and a half okay, Uh, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:54.560 Seaton O'Connor over under uh twenty seven, twenty seven, yes, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:14:02.160 twenty seven. Hey, Marv'll go thirty eight and a half, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.240 thirty eight and a half, Todd one dollar. I'm gonna 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:11.200 say thirty seven and a half, okay. But if you 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.120 go over then you can't win, Todd, I understand that. Yeah, 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:19.760 it's thirty five and a half out Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.360 Do I win by low ball? Yes? Yes? Hello? He 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.160 had the one dollar one hello. Yeah. In his two 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.720 seasons in Tampa Bay, Brady is averaging forty one and 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.120 a half touchdown three years. Doesn't that feel like, you know, 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.960 there's those sucker bench where you go, oh, he's gonna 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:40.520 throw more in thirty five? Is he thirty four? Yes? 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.760 Tom Brady's career quarterback rating with the patriots was ninety seven. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.520 His quarterback rating with Tampa is one hundred and two 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:54.080 point one. It's better, thank you, back to you. I'm 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.120 moving slow today, but not that slow. I can tell 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.080 the difference between those two checking eight seven. I have 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.680 been three d P show email address DPA dan Patrick 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.480 dot com, Twitter handle a DP show and yes, still 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.080 doing the show outside. If you're watching on Peacock, this 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.240 is the grilling area. And Fritzie, of course, is deep 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.720 in doubt about is there going to be a meat Friday. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.280 I don't even know what we're having, but we will 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.160 have a meat Friday. And if you know they're gonna 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.360 be grilling while I'm on the show out here, then 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.040 we'll do it. They're just a little piece of mind 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.240 about the lunch tomorrow. I know I'll take care of you. 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.320 We got concerned about these things. We get really hungry 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.520 by about this time of day. Okay, I'm worried about 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:39.160 the smoke too. We've already had the smoke out. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.280 have the show from the parking lot. See if you 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.880 don't mind. We had a Tuesday smoke out that I know. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.680 I said that Tyler. It was a little cold out here. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.360 I said, hey, how about your whip up a fire? 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.840 He goes okay, and next thing I know, it's a 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.760 rager and then he put cardboard in it. So I 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:02.120 got all this ash. The entire show just kept falling 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.240 on me, and I said, next time, how about we 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.000 get a starter log next time? Yeah, you never see 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.320 like emphysema patients go out to a like a local 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.240 bondfire to recover. You never see that happen. And then 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.600 Tyler was going to take the hose to put it out, 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.560 and PAULI yelled at him. Paul scolded him, What did 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.040 you say, like, Tyler, come on, get it together? I said, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.520 I think, I said, Tyler, I think you're sitting there 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.560 choking a coffin and over like this. It's like, let's 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.320 place spray water on that and just send these embers 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.000 ready to dance lungs. Let's let's add more smoke to this. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.720 All right, let me take a break here. We're back 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.520 after this with John Skipper formerly of ESPN, Dan Patrick 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.720 show M Drive. You know, it's like I was kind 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.240 of like Kurt Gibson walking to the plate against Dennis 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.440 Eckersley this morning, Like they thought there's no way he 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.960 could be out there. He shouldn't be out there. That's 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:59.040 a little exaggeraway, alright, Compare yourself to Kurt Tibson out 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.240 one leg in the world.

Sons at the 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.919 MAVs will be game six. We spent a lot of 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.879 time talking about Tom Brady joining Fox eventually when his 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.199 career is over, and we thought the numbers might be 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.679 twenty to twenty five million dollars a year, and then 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.240 you realize Fox is bringing him in as a brand 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.399 ambassador and also to do color on their football games. 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.920 And I thought John Skipper one of the brightest people 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.440 I ever encountered in my career, former ESPN CEO president, 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.720 and he's now the co founder and CEO of Metal 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:01.720 Arc Media working with Dan Lebotard and John, thanks for 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.439 joining us. Your reaction when you first heard the news 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.080 that Fox was going to offer that kind of money 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.320 to Tom Brady, I have to confess my first reaction 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:16.000 was not about the money, but about potentially how well 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.440 Fox played this right. Everybody was surprised that they let 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:25.440 Joe Buck and Troy Aikman go. Troy Aikman was surprised 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:29.199 that they had not even really been in touch with 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.960 him about it, and I think perhaps this explains it right. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.479 They planned all along that they were going to get Brady. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.480 I have no idea if that's right, by the way, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.920 but that's the first thing I thought is, Wow, look 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.800 how well they played this. They they're going to get 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.720 the goat into the booth. How do you hide something 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.720 like that, John, I have no idea, though I am 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.360 here somewhere in the Midwest and the witness Protection program, 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.080 so it is possible to keep secrets and look to 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.760 your first point, it is a lot of money, and 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:08.960 it raises the inevitable question how you justify spending quite 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.280 so much money. It's not because of ratings. It does 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.160 not have any effect on the ratings. And I've never 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:19.040 had anybody showed me any data to dispute that this 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.359 is more or about just what you were talking about. 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.800 Pride Brand. Ambassador Gee will take our important advertisers by 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.040 the booth to see Tom Brady Gee. I suspect he 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.280 will see him at the upfront presentations at some point 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.480 in not too distant future. So you can make a 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:42.080 justification for it. But it's not about ratings or because 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.240 more people will watch, or even because it will be 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.400 a better or worse broadcast. It's just about the jazz 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.280 of having Tom Brady. But also I was wondering, and 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.280 it seems like an obvious question, John, But I don't 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.280 think many people are asking it's Tom Brady gonna be 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.760 any good as an analyst. I'm not sure it matters 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.440 other than there'll be a little bit of embarrassment. He 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:10.120 looks he's a smart guy, he's charming. I'm assuming he'll 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.160 be that. To me. The interesting the judgment of whether 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.320 he's gonna being good. Is he going to provide insight? 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.760 They can provide insight and a number of things right. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.080 One of them is and Tony Romo gets credit for 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.320 being spectacular about this, right, which is insight into what 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.439 play is going to be called, why it's being played. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.120 I think Tom will do pretty well there. The other 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.679 insight you want is what is it like? What are 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.240 the players like? Who's a good guy, who's a bad guy? 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.680 Is Tom Brady really going to be willing to say 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:43.760 anything controversial? I suspect he will be carefully. He's a 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.760 very guarded guy. Right. If you think about the life 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:51.480 he leads and how he manages the information that comes 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.840 out of his mouth. He's pretty guarded. I don't think 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.280 he's going to be controversial all the things to be provocative. 0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:00.719 He won't be any Charles Barkley, right, And that's what 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:05.360 you like, is somebody who's fun, insightful that you want 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.480 to sit with. So he'll be okay. I don't think 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.760 it'll be a disaster. We talked about this a couple 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.600 of weeks ago. Charles Barkley might be the most valuable 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:19.240 member of the sports media, right you agree? Yes, I do. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.639 And I think there's only three or four people in 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.920 the history of broadcasting who you genuinely can say that 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:30.360 people tune in to see them. Right. The late great 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:36.040 John Madden, who was recently passed, was one of those guys. 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:39.199 Berkeley right now is the guy in all of sports 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:41.480 you can say people will turn in to see him. 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:47.080 Did you try to get Barkley at ESPN? Absolutely? Absolutely. 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:50.640 There's almost nobody who's really really good. We didn't try 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:54.439 to get. The biggest issue at ESPN was and you 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.320 know this, so we'll have a little fun with this 0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.920 is the ESPN wants you to work to down. Are 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:04.800 we were? We weren't willing to pay. I'm going to 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:08.080 remember talking to Shack, who's a very good guy, very friendly, 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.480 and I tried very hard to convince him, you don't 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.440 want to be the second field of Shack. I'm sorry 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.919 to Charles. Come over to ESPN. You'll be the start, 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.080
