Speaker 2: Have you ever opened the stadium for your kids to

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: go in and like they want to take, you know,

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: have whiffle.

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: Ball or something like that.

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 5: You know, we've had we've had a lot of activities

45
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 5: here for school groups and everything, not just for my children,

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 5: but we've you know, it's it's such a magical thing,

47
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 5: a ballpark. You know, we kind of take it for granted,

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 5: those of us who come to it every day. But

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 5: I have memories of going with my father out to

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 5: Candlestick Park on the bus and watching Willie May's, Willie McCovey,

51
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 5: Juan marashall play, you know, Hall of Famers, all Hall

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: of Famers play. When the Giants moved to San Francisco

53
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: in the sixties and then the seventies at Candlestick and

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: this ballpark now Oracle Park, our new ballpark is core

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 5: century old and going strong.

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

57
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about the shelf life

58
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: of stadiums, because it feels like there is a finite

59
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: amount of time before we then tear something down and

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: we maybe move someplace or build something on the same

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: property here.

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: Why will this be different here?

63
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dan, I think it depends. I think it depends

64
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 5: on a few things, on the location, on the feeld,

65
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: on how you're able to really curate a ballpark over time.

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 5: And I'll never forget when we acquired the Giants. Just

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: back now to the nineteen nineties, early ninety ninety three,

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 5: Candlestick Park was thirty years old or so, felt like

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 5: it was seventy five years old.

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium was the same age thirty years about you

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: know where the because Giants and Dodgers moved west at

72
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 4: the same time, and it felt like it was ten

73
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: years old.

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: It was maintained beautifully Dodger Stadium, and here it is

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: going strong today.

76
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: So you know, we we very much hope that we can.

77
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: Be in the vein of Wrigley Field and Femway Park

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: and you know, be around forever. There will be obviously

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: there'll be improvements, and we do that every year. We

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: do make changes and add and subtract and do things.

81
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: But I think you know, we're really proud of the

82
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: city of San Francisco in the location and the support.

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: So we're not going anywhere anytime soon.

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did it right though. The Vista's public transportation.

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: You have people coming into the city, which is really

86
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: important building around Like that's what worries me. Bears are

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: going to go outside the city, you know, the Cleveland

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Browns outside. I want people going into a city, not

89
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: leaving a city.

90
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 5: Well, I think look, the urban part of the urban experience.

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: We like to talk about work, live, play, people living downtown,

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 5: going to the ballpark working downtown. It's a great urban

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 5: experience here in San Francisco and lots of cities around

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 5: the country, and I think if a ballpark could be

95
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: part of that experience. I think also baseball uniquely because

96
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 5: it's played during the day, often it's in the summer.

97
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 5: You want to have that experience in and around a

98
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: city with the restaurants and the economic benefit that you

99
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: can get. Well, this ballpark open thirty years ago, there

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: wasn't a lot around this neighborhood.

101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 4: Now we have a whole area, a whole neighborhood.

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 5: It's really the growth engine of San Francisco is right

103
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: where we're sitting here, right, you know, within a walking

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 5: distance of the ballpark.

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: I was walking around yesterday, saw the statues McCovey, Marshall,

106
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: Willie Mays. Where are you placing Barry Bond's statue?

107
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: TVD TBD on Barry? But we'll we you know, Barry.

108
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 5: It's interesting because the five that we have are in

109
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame, the five statues, that's been sort

110
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 5: of our criteria. But we view Barry as a Hall

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 5: of Famer even though he's not in the Hall of Fame.

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 5: And that's obviously a big, long discussion that has been

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 5: had will continue to be had, But in our minds,

114
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: he is a Hall of Famer and statue worthy.

115
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: Jeff Kim.

116
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: We're proud that Jeff Kent is going in the Hall

117
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 5: of Fame now coming from the New.

118
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: Era ballot, and a year from now.

119
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: We have some others, including Buster Posey, who is our

120
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 5: president of Baseball Operations, who we believe should be his first.

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 5: If you're in the Hall of Fame, so your statue

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 5: is coming when.

123
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: You Yeah, okay, So does Bonds have any say in this.

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 4: In terms of whether he gets a statue or where

125
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: it is.

126
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've we've talked to some de Barry with Barry

127
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: about it, and uh, you know, we need to.

128
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: Have that conversation and help figure it out.

129
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you come to grips with him being

130
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer If I say, make the case

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: for Barry Bond's Hall of Famer?

132
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 5: You know, look, I it's it's a tough one for

133
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: us because I mean it's not tough decision. He we

134
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: believe he absolutely should be in the Hall of Fame. Uh,

135
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 5: you know, the there's criteria on the ballot and it's

136
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 5: hard for us to opine on him versus other players.

137
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: We think that's a it's a really difficult.

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 5: Discussion, but by any objective, measure him and there are

139
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 5: others that are not in the Hall of Fame that

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: we believe are worthy in that era deserve to go.

141
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 5: And that's you know that that's something It's not going

142
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: to get sorted out easily.

143
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 4: Barry was from ninety three to ninety nine.

144
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 5: You know, before all before the allegations, was we believe

145
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame worthy for his career in Pittsburgh and

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: San Francisco.

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: So you know that we can't.

148
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 5: You know, it's just you have a feel for it,

149
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 5: and you it's it's a subjective view.

150
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: And Barry's a giant.

151
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 5: Berry's a great giant, one of the greatest of all time,

152
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 5: and we believe he deserves to be in the Hall

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: of Fame and deserves a statue.

154
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: Fill in the blank. The Dodgers are blank for baseball.

155
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are a great competitor for baseball for the Giants.

156
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: Do you hate do you hate Dodgers?

157
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: I don't think you know this. It's interching discussion.

158
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 5: I think you probably you've talked to the commissioner about

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: this and others. You know, let's just take all the

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 5: sports and here we are, you know, at Super Bowl Week.

161
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: I think having a dragon to slay in a sport

162
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 5: and if you go back, it was, you know, in

163
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: the NFL was what's upon a time the Cowboys, the

164
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: forty nine ers had their run.

165
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: That's not all bad. The Yankees did that.

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: In baseball you could say that's the Dodgers now having

167
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: a dragon to slay? Is it necessarily a bad thing

168
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 5: for the sport. We want to beat the Dodgers, and

169
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 5: we want to be at the top of the division

170
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: and one day and we want to be the dragon

171
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 5: to slay. You know, baseball is unpredictable as well. When

172
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 5: we won three championships in twenty ten, twelve, and fourteen,

173
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 5: we weren't predicted to win any of those years and

174
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 5: we didn't have a top five payroll any of those years.

175
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: So hats off to the your organization because they've done

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: it with obviously high priced players, but they've also done

177
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 5: it with farm system and development.

178
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: Well, people lose sight of the fact, what were they

179
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: two ounce away from losing that World Series? So it

180
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: wasn't that they breezed through everybody. But when are you?

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: When did you decide do you have to hate the

182
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: Dodgers Like that comes with the rivalry, doesn't.

183
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what, let me tell you quick story.

184
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: A couple of quick stories. Okay.

185
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 5: Number one, growing up in San Francisco, you know Juan

186
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 5: Marischell and John Roseboro and a giant Dodgers and you

187
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: know Mary Wills and Sandy Colfax and Don Drysdale with

188
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 5: May's McCovey Marischelle. I mean, it was just one of

189
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 5: the great rivalries of sports and it remains a great rivalry.

190
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: So hate is I don't really. I don't like the

191
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 5: word hate because it's just like it's it's a rivalry

192
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 5: to get.

193
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 4: Your blood boiling in a good way.

194
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 5: But the story I wanted to say is in the

195
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 5: Giants almost moved to Florida. This is nineteen ninety two,

196
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 5: and the team was a financial on the ropes and

197
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: that's when our group came together to buy the team.

198
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 5: But there was a deal signed to move the team

199
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: to Florida.

200
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 4: The number one the number.

201
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 5: One supporter of the Giants staying in San Francisco, Peter

202
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: O'Malley and the Dodgers because we came out together from

203
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 5: Brooklyn and New York in nineteen fifty eight. And this

204
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 5: is a spectacular rivalry. So off the you know, on

205
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: the field, we try to beat each other's brains in

206
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: off the field, we're actually you know, colleagues and partners

207
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: in trying to grow the sport and having opened up

208
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 5: the sport in California, the first two teams west of

209
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 5: the Mississippi, the Giants and Dodgers are it's a great rivalry.

210
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 5: So the fans, we like the fans being energized and all,

211
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: but we think it's, you know, really adds to the

212
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 5: to the value of the sport having this rivalry.

213
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: He's the president CEO of the Giants, Larry Bear. Can

214
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: you overspend on your team?

215
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 5: You know you can you over I mean it's the

216
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 5: question is how do you define overspending?

217
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 4: Does it mean being in the luxury tax?

218
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 5: Does it mean if you do development the right way

219
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 5: right in which we've had. We were lucky enough in

220
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: that era when we won championships. Pretty much the entire

221
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 5: team was homegrown, right between Buster Posey and Massive Bumgarner

222
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 5: and Tim Linsecam and Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt, and

223
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 5: so we didn't overspend.

224
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 4: We didn't have to overspend.

225
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 5: You know, we were somewhere in the top ten, but

226
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: we weren't in the top five and spending. So I

227
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 5: guess the question is do you need to overspend to win?

228
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: I would say the answer is no, But you have

229
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 5: to have the right development in baseball.

230
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 4: Baseball is different.

231
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 5: I mean, you come off a college campus or a

232
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 5: high school campus for that matter, and you've got you know,

233
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 5: the very best players are in the minor leagues for

234
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: three years four years, and that's really where a lot

235
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 5: of the arms races now. It's not necessarily. Yes, signing

236
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 5: free agents can matter, and we've had some great free

237
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: agents Barry Bonds at the top of the list, who

238
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 5: have mattered a lot. But if you didn't have the

239
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 5: twenty four other players to pair them with and the

240
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 5: guys that are coming up through the miners, it's it's

241
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 5: it's hard to do it through free agents.

242
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: Only. Were you in on the uh O Tani sweetstakes.

243
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were in on their Timey.

244
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 5: We had show A sitting in just across the water

245
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 5: here in the ballpark.

246
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: Trying to woo him, and you were gonna let him

247
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: pitch in hit. Yes, because not everybody wanted to do that.

248
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: We were gonna let them pitch in head and we

249
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: you know, and our.

250
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 5: Salary and and deal was competitive to the d was

251
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 5: pretty much the same as the Dodgers. They it's said

252
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 5: they the agents for him at the time, c AA.

253
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 5: They basically set out the deal. And you know, we

254
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 5: would have played along along with that deal. But you know,

255
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 5: I look, we understand everything. He was in southern California.

256
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: He is one of one. He's a unicorn. He's amazing,

257
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 5: and he's good for the sport.

258
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: Were you closer to getting Otani or Aaron Judge?

259
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know.

260
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: I mean Aaron Judge grew up a lot closer to

261
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 5: San Francisco than show Hey did uh.

262
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: We I thought you were getting him. I thought I

263
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: thought you guys were gonna we had.

264
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting because Aaron's such a great guy

265
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: and he's uh grew up near here. We totally understand

266
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: going back to the Yankees. Decision to go back to

267
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 5: the Yankee because you're a Yankee great and you step

268
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 5: away from that. It was in some ways out of

269
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 5: our hands in the sense that we were getting competitive.

270
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: On the numbers.

271
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure there were any numbers that were gonna

272
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: get him here if he if the Yankees decided in

273
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 5: the end they were going to keep him. You know,

274
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 5: we had a great event here with his h parents

275
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 5: and Aaron was quote saying his favorite player growing up

276
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: was Rich Ailia, who played shortstop play hit in front

277
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 5: of Barry Bonds, right, And so when Aaron was growing

278
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 5: up in the nineties, and so we.

279
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: Had a little event here where.

280
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: Aaron we were having a dinner and Aaron gets tapped

281
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 5: on the shoulder. He looked, turns around, he said, Aaron,

282
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 5: nice to meet you. I'm rich Familia. So look, we did,

283
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: we did what we could. But you know, again, Aaron

284
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: Judge is good for baseball. He's a tremendous player. We

285
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 5: didn't walk into that thinking that there was some huge,

286
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 5: you know, ninety percent chance he was going to come

287
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 5: to us, because he he at the time was a

288
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: Yankee great and to continue as a Yankee great is,

289
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: you know, is a big deal.

290
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: Thanks for the accommodations, not only this year, but a

291

Speaker 3: You could be an accomplice.

376
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: But I dot it's such a harsh thing to say,

377
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: you know how I feel about it.

378
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,520

Speaker 9: Five saying cause of death.

00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 2: Yes, it could be natural causes. Slash Todd Fritz like

00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: you could.

382
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:03,280

Speaker 3: Look at you?

388
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: Got a couple of kids now all of a sudden,

389
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: look at you.

390
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 11: I retired the mom, Bob.

391
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: You did you know?

392
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 12: I woke up the other day and I said, you know,

393
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 12: I want to feel young again.

394
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 11: These kids have warned me down.

395
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 12: I've aged fifteen years in a span of four years.

396
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: How many you have two kids?

397
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

398
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 11: I give two boys. They're four and three. They're thirteen

399
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 11: months apart.

400
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 12: Oh, so it's like having twins.

401
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I'm sure this shocks you. But they have

402
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 11: a lot of energy.

403
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you do too.

404
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 11: Well, that's where they get it from.

405
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 12: And their father's probably ten times more energetic than I am.

406
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 11: So you combine that at.

407
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: You're the cool mom who covers the NFL. When they

408
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: get to a certain age, it's like what games your

409
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: mom going to?

410
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 10: Yeah?

411
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 12: Maybe for now, it's like, you know, have you ever

412
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 12: met a t rex?

413
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 6: You know that that's what they care about. I've facetimed

414
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 6: players before to just try the cool thing with them

415
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 6: because they watch football with us on Sundays, and you know,

416
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 6: we point out players and their little Eagles fans because

417
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 6: their father is. So I've had players just you know,

418
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 6: say hello to them.

419
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 11: They could care less. They do not care.

420
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 12: But if I could FaceTime a t Rex, me'd be good,

421
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 12: or take them on a train.

422
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: But it's tough though, when you look at what is

423
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: real like home life with kids. They're young and you're

424
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: still trying to do your job to your standards there.

425
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, and also my role is a little different I'm

426
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 12: not just an NFL reporter, I'm an insider. So there's

427
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 12: this expectation that I have to be on all the time,

428
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 12: and I am, but my phone's with me a lot,

429
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 12: and so it's balancing the act of doing my job

430
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 12: at a high level but also not.

431
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 11: Having my head and my phone all the time because

432
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 11: I don't want them to pick up on those habits.

433
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 12: And they're old enough now to understand, they know what

434
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 12: texting is, and they have this amazing ability that if

435
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 12: it's like the higher ranked the sources, the higher the level,

436
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 12: the louder they scream.

437
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Right.

438
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 11: So like my little two year old Joey, he's like, owner,

439
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go nuts right now, you know.

440
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 13: So.

441
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 12: But I will say the one thing in the NFL

442
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 12: that I've really appreciated, and I don't think I've really

443
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 12: ever said it out loud, how understanding the men in

444
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 12: this sport have been about my transition into motherhood in general,

445
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 12: not just because they also experience it and they've seen

446
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 12: their wives, but just I've been in the car before

447
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 12: and they're screaming or someone's yelling, and guys always like,

448
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 12: don't worry about it. I'm gonna keep talking. I know

449
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 12: you can hear me, and this is annoying. Don't get

450
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 12: me wrong, it's annoying. But I've always I had had

451
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 12: a conversation with an agent yesterday and my sons were screaming,

452
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 12: and he.

453
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 11: Said, Hey, what do I call you later? Don't worry

454
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 11: about go do with that. I just I've always really

455
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 11: appreciated that in the NFL, especially.

456
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: What was your best scoop this past year?

457
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 12: Oh, we had a lot. I don't know if there

458
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 12: was any one specific story that that we did this

459
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 12: year that that was gangbusters. Maybe maybe Brandon Ayuk, which

460
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 12: is you know, timely because we're here.

461
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 11: You know, he wasn't showing up. No one knew what

462
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 11: was going on.

463
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 12: And Kyle Shanahan is is the best at being transparent

464
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 12: with the media. He's one of my favorite coaches to

465
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 12: cover because he doesn't lie. And I don't know if

466
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 12: he does that intentionally or he's just self aware that

467
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 12: he's a bad liar so he just doesn't do it.

468
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 12: Whereas you know, we've seen so many other head coaches

469
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 12: in football do such a good job of just faking

470
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 12: through every press conference. So I don't know, I just

471
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 12: started to notice Kyle was.

472
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 11: He was just saying less and.

473
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 12: Less and less and so on that a little bit.

474
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 12: And then it turns out, unfortunately Brendan and I, you

475
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 12: had never been at the facility at all, Like he

476
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 12: wasn't even around, and so so Mike Silver and I

477
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 12: my colleague, we broke that on a on a Friday night,

478
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 12: and it was It caused a lot of a lot

479
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 12: of problems after.

480
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 11: That because no one wanted that out just yet. But

481
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 11: you know how it goes.

482
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: Give me the first question you would ask the commissioner.

483
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 12: Besides I personally am interested if we're going to have

484
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 12: a Super Bowl internationally in the next five to ten years,

485
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 12: I would like to know if you if we're really

486
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 12: going to be doing this, Because the league just released

487
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 12: all these international games just about a half an hour ago.

488
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 12: We're just seeing more and more. But I'd say, just

489
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 12: based on what I was reporting on the last two

490
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 12: three weeks this coaching cycle, when you're seeing so many

491
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 12: minority candidates get passed over this process, this past month

492
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 12: stood out the most to me. This was the most

493
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 12: shocking in terms of how little it seemed and almost

494
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 12: how fake some of this stuff appeared to be.

495
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 11: In terms of these interviews and how they went about it.

496
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 12: And I felt like a lot of these teams knew

497
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 12: exactly who they wanted to hire, and they weren't going

498
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 12: to be willing to give a chance to anyone but

499
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 12: that person that they had on their mind.

500
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how's he dealing with that question?

501
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 12: He's just gonna probably have to pass it off, right,

502
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 12: He's not going to be able to have an answer.

503
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 12: But I think so much of this press conference today

504
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 12: isn't so much about getting that direct answer, but it's

505
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 12: to begin conversations so in the off season we can

506
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 12: start addressing it.

507
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 11: I mean, he I don't think this is going to

508
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 11: be one of.

509
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 12: His easier press conferences today, with how much is in

510
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 12: the news.

511
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 11: Sometimes these are.

512
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 12: Just lollipop questions we go up there, they're not too

513
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 12: much today. Today's going to be a heavy day for him.

514
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know it's like when you are going

515
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: to be deposed and your lawyer said, all right, here's

516
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 2: the questions they're going to ask you, and he's gonna

517
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: be ready to go, and somebody's going to say Steve Tish,

518
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: Giana's owner and the Epstein Files eighteen game schedule, International

519
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: everybody's going to play an international game.

520
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: Uh the turf uh refs officials. Yeah, transparency.

521
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 11: I know you're upset about the.

522
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 12: Is it bothering you that your that your head coach

523
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 12: got out game managed by the opposing coach?

524
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: Wow?

525
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: Wow, I can't.

526
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: It's very touching at the scene.

527
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 12: So you guys have heard of a guy named stretch, right,

528
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 12: John Stryker has his name? Have you heard it through

529
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 12: a couple of interviews? He is Mike Rabel's right hand man.

530
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 12: He's the genius behind that six foot four, two hundred

531
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 12: and sixty pound head coach. He's the brains in there

532
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 12: that uh he's actually stretches actually six six himself. Those

533
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 12: two have truly become experts of the game. I think

534
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 12: they're the best game managers of any head coach. They

535
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 12: know this stuff, they have the bandwidth for it, They're

536
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 12: obsessed with it. Rabel's obviously on the Competition committee, so

537
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 12: he knows the rules in it now. And and I'd

538
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 12: consider Sean Payton to be one of the brightest coaches

539
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 12: as well. And they lost that game because Mike Raebel

540
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 12: out smarter them. And that's why I think the Super Bowl,

541
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 12: by the way is good talent wise, like on paper,

542
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 12: Seattle's better.

543
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah they are.

544
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 12: But this could come down to something weird and bizarre

545
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 12: that that Rabel pulls out of his back pocket this

546
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 12: just because he knows it so well.

547
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: When's the last time you got yelled at by a

548
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: coach or player?

549
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 11: Mike Rabel?

550
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 14: Uh?

551
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 11: It was actually the.

552
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 13: It was.

553
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 11: It was pretty It was a genuine yell.

554
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 12: It was the year he was out and I was

555
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 12: at the Senior Bowl and I'd had two back to

556
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 12: back dinners with general managers, so it was like a

557
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 12: double booked, but I had to make it work.

558
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 11: And I had the same conversation with both these.

559
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 12: Gms, and they were asking me, why do I think

560
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 12: that Mike Rabel didn't have a job, Like why isn't

561
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 12: he head coach right now?

562
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 11: And I said, I don't know.

563
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 12: I was like, I covered him a lot in Tennessee.

564
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 12: I thought he was collaborative, he's a leader of players

565
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 12: love him.

566
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 14: I don't know.

567
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 11: And they both offered up that they thought that he

568
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 11: was too physically intimidating.

569
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 12: So The New York Post sees this, or excuse me,

570
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 12: I go on a podcast.

571
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 11: The New York Post hears it.

572
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 12: And it went from an intimidating figure that is perhaps.

573
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 11: Scaring owners to like, Mike Riebel's too.

574
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 12: Fat to get it.

575
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 11: So he called me.

576
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 12: He's like, why would you ever report that. That's ridiculous,

577
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 12: that's not even true. I'm like, are you asking me

578
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 12: if I think you're fat?

579
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 13: You know?

580
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 12: So, So that was that was not fun because I

581
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 12: just think, you know, he didn't war.

582
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 3: The record, You weren't calling him.

583
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 11: No, no, I was really just relaying.

584
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 12: But not that I was relaying to.

585
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 11: I think it was Chase on the podcast that Hey,

586
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 11: I was basically doing what I do all the time.

587
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 12: Hey, I had these conversations with you general managers and

588
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 12: they told me this is why they think, you know,

589
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 12: Ravees doesn't have a job. And I just think that's

590
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 12: interesting because the guy's so physically large, it's going to

591
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 12: prevent an owner from hiring him.

592
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 11: That's stupid.

593
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: Paulie, do you have the article?

594
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

595
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 5: I found the article from February last year or two

596
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 5: years ago, Mike rave with the headline Mike Rabel's physical

597
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 5: appearance may have been too intimidating and turn teams off.

598
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 9: Dane or any credited which was.

599
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 11: The truth of what it was.

600
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 12: But you know, I'm glad that you asked me about

601
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 12: getting yelled at. I probably spend more time on the

602
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 12: phone arguing with people in the lead, because I'm sure

603
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 12: you guys are aware and you know this well. Everyone

604
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 12: is so paranoid about information and they want it, they

605
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 12: want control over it. And I like to dig and

606
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 12: sometimes I like to poke around in places where people

607
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 12: don't want to be poked. And and you have to

608
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 12: have an ironclad stomach in this league to deal with it,

609
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 12: because there's a lot of yelling going on in my

610
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 12: house and it's on the other line. My husband jokes

611
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 12: all the time, He's like, you fight with more people

612
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 12: in football.

613
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: Than we fight.

614
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 12: And I'm a different person obviously, Like I have to

615
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 12: be different with these guys because they want to push

616
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 12: you around and they want a story told a certain way.

617
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 11: But the truth is the truth.

618
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: Do you think we're playing a super Bowl outside the

619
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: United States in five if I said five and a

620
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: half years the over under because everything's gambling, so yeah.

621
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 12: It is.

622
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 11: I do. I think I think I want it in Italy.

623
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 12: But see now everyone's sport the coliseum are our friends

624
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 12: Big Cat and PFT they give you a hard time

625
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 12: because they know them all about the International Super Bowl game,

626
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 12: because I just think that would be such a great

627
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 12: experience because they obviously wanted here because it's an American

628
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 12: sport and I get that too, But but why not

629
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 12: do it in a place that that, like, like Tokyo,

630
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 12: even where where there could be so much grow and

631
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 12: it could be popular. The problem is just not as popular,

632
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 12: you know, like there's not gonna be a lot of

633
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 12: fans there. I don't think a lot of people are

634
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 12: gonna take trips to.

635
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 9: To go see it.

636
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 11: I don't believe that.

637
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: I think you have to do it in London. I

638
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: think you have to be fair.

639
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 12: Start there London, because hey, we started it here, we

640
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 12: grew it here.

641
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 11: Yeah. No, no, that would make sense.

642
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: And people would go to London, you know, it's not

643
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: you know, crazy travel to get over there, so I

644
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: could see them doing that.

645
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 11: What number super Bowl is this for you?

646
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: I lost track you did? Yeah, it's probably thirty seven.

647
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable, Yeah, thirty six.

648
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 11: What's one that stands out for you?

649
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 3: Oh? The Seattle Patriots one?

650
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: Really well, because I'm and I've told this story to

651
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: my audience, but I'm under the goal post and so

652
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm handing out the trophy. So I'm I'm waiting for

653
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: Marshawn Lynch to come. So he lines up to the

654
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: right of Russell. Russell sends him over to the left,

655
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: and I'm going, here he comes, and I'm just watching

656
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: Marshaon Lynch and I'm going, Okay, I'm running through the

657

00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: you know, you start going, who am I interviewing? Next

660
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: thing I know, Russ goes back to pass and I'm

661
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: with my producer and I go, oh, bleep, like just

662
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: throwing the pass. I didn't even know what happened. Next

663
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: thing I know, I go, Man, Malcolm Butler, not that,

664
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: Malcolm Butler's got that. And I went, Okay, Robert Kraft

665
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: Brady who Gronk will be up? There is Malcolm Butler, Babe.

666
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: You know all these things that went through my mind.

667
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 12: Just tremendous that you had to maneuver that so quickly.

668
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 12: I did my first.

669
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 11: NFL sideline game for Netflix this Christmas.

670
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 12: You know, usually when you guys have seen me on TV,

671
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 12: it's pregame, postgame XFL.

672
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 11: I did sidelines, but I mean, what was that. I

673
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 11: don't know what that was.

674
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: Those are just rash.

675
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 11: All I know is that was the fittest I ever was.

676
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 12: Like I remember, I had a coach in the NFL

677
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 12: text me was like, You're on camera all the time,

678
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 12: but you're not talking.

679
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: You're just running out.

680
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 11: I took your way too literal.

681
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 13: That the USP wanted to make that entertaining, but that

682
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 13: the postgame interview is so much harder than it appears,

683
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 13: which is why people like you and Nancy and Tracy

684
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 13: Wilson and Aaron Andrews and the people that we see

685
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 13: to do it Melissa Stork we'll see at the super Bowl.

686
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 11: They make it look easy, but it's very difficult.

687
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 12: Especially in a moment like that where it switches up

688
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 12: so fast.

689
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, and oh ps, you're a human being too. Your

690
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 11: adrenaline is going through the roof.

691
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: But this happened with Pittsburgh and Arizona. Arizona's gonna win

692
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Ben leads them down, throws the touchdown pad.

693
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: So I'm doing Rolodex with the Cardinals and then all

694
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Ben throws the perfect pass and all

695
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I'm going now I'm on the podium,

696
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: and then here's Ben. Ben thinks he's the MVP. I

697
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: don't even know who the MVP is because Santonio Holmes

698
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: just caught this and it happened and so quickly, and

699
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: it's like thirty seconds before you're going live, and I'm yelling,

700
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: yelling down to anybody who is the MVP. Nobody's saying

701
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: anything because it's it's chaos, and then somebody walks by.

702
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: Eventually I'm gonna stay. Five times they yelled at who

703
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,239
Speaker 3: is the MVP? Can somebody tell you?

704
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 8: Man?

705
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I got the Steelers are coming up, I got

706
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: Ben coming up, and I'm like, and somebody else out.

707
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: Homes and I go, oh my god.

708
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: Then I get in my headset Joe Namas bringing the

709
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: trophy up, and you know, the Commissioner's going.

710
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: Are you gonna are you gonna introduce me? Are you

711
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: gonna introduce me? Said?

712
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I introduce like it's chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos,

713
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: and then it you know, it hits you that there's

714
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: one hundred million people watching, and all you want to

715
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: do is get off the stage.

716
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: That's it.

717
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: And I just remember I got off the stage, and

718
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: I just remember it's chaos, confetti players, and it's as

719
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: if I'm in a vacuum. I didn't hear any noise whatsoever.

720
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: I just walked to my trail at NBC and sat

721
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: in there for like a half hour, and I'm going,

722
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: oh my god, I don't know what just happened. It was,

723
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: you know, Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, They're gonna win this, okay,

724
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, I completed that touch it.

725
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: Damn. Good night back to you, Bob. Not much.

726
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 11: How long does it take you to go to sleep

727
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 11: after a night like that?

728
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 13: Again?

729
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 11: Then adrenaline again is just like a pussy long time.

730
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: It's one of the greatest moments because I didn't tell

731
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 2: anybody I was handing out the trophy in my family.

732
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 11: Oh so they're sitting at home watching.

733
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you got people saying you're handing out the

734
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: trophy and I'm like, yeah, you know, but I didn't

735
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: want to tell them. I wanted them to watch in

736
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: real time, and so I didn't tell anybody. But I

737
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 2: went back, and I remember I turned on an episode

738
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: of the Office and I just sat there by myself

739
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: and had a beer. I'm in a trailer and I'm gone.

740
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is supposed to be, but

741
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: it was.

742
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: It was great. You just did your job.

743
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: And then I went and I had a beer and

744
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 2: I sat and watched an episode of the Office, and

745
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: then that was it.

746
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 3: So one hundred million people.

747
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: Now I'm screwed up, by the way in front of

748
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: a hundred million people.

749
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 11: But yeah, but was Twitter around when you did that?

750
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's that's I mean, even just like I was

751
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 12: having this conversation with someone last night, even just journalism

752
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty six, and I'm not going to bore

753
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 12: everybody with that conversation of how it just it's so

754
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 12: difficult to report and accurately and thoroughly without people taking

755
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 12: apart your piece and really putting it out the way

756
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 12: they would like to. So we did a story Alec

757
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 12: Lewis and I my my colleague who covers the Minnesota

758
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 12: Vikings very closely. He and I did a story yesterday

759
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 12: on why they fired their general manager, and essentially we

760
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 12: laid out all the reasons it was it was the

761
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 12: draft picks that they didn't hit on, some of the

762
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 12: free agents obviously, the quarterback situation, right, the timing, all

763
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 12: of all this was bizarre, But we peeled it back

764
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 12: a little bit more to remind the readers, like, hey,

765
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 12: remember this was a little bit of an outside the

766
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 12: box hire. This is someone that came from Wall Street

767
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 12: and financed like he. This isn't like some guy that was,

768
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 12: you know, working in seventeen different organizations, is working his

769
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 12: way up. And part of the difference in what he

770
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 12: the way he managed was he took paternity leave for

771
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 12: his first and second child, actually while he was the

772
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 12: general manager.

773
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 11: Of the Vikings, So he took about two weeks off.

774
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 11: He didn't go to practice, he worked remotely.

775
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 12: And that's all anyone can talk about now is that

776
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 12: he took He was fired because he took maternity, which

777
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 12: is not what He did. Not get fired because he

778
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 12: took maternity or paternity leave.

779
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,959
Speaker 11: But this is just kind of the this.

780
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: Is where that's a sexy poll quote for somebody. Yeah, man,

781
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: can you believe that?

782
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 12: And you're like, uh, it's terrible because it's not the truth.

783
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 12: It's not fair to the Minnesota Vikings If anything, the

784
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 12: conversation that needs to be had is probably.

785
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,880

834
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 14: back row, Welcome to California. Welcome to Super Bowl Week,

835
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 14: the five greatest days every year of the Dan Patrick Show.

836
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 14: The locations, the sets, the guests, the information shared, and

837
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 14: the fans are just awesome. I love it. Thank you guys.

838
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 14: You deserve a Sports Emmy for these five days alone.

839
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 14: My question for you, Dan, why would an NFL owner

840
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 14: even be considered for the Hall of Fame. They're not

841
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,479
Speaker 14: even really part of the game.

842
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: They are part of the game because you have to

843
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: high the people, build the infrastructure and Robert Kraft to me,

844
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 2: I mean Jerry Jones got in. Did he get in

845
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: because they won three Super Bowls?

846
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: Did he get in.

847
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: Because he helped build the league? So that's a contributor

848
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: to the league if you want to put him in.

849
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 3: But I don't.

850
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with celebrating more people with

851
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. There's a backlog, and that's that's

852
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: an even bigger problem that they're going to have, is

853
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 2: there's only so many they can let in, and you're

854
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 2: gonna have your adding to that backlog, certainly of coaches.

855
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 3: Yes, Mark, Well, we blame the Jets, and the Jets

856
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: are bad because of what ownership.

857
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Dolphins are bad because of ownership, so

858
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 4: you got to give them credit.

859
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: Am blame Tony and California.

860
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 8: Hi, Tony, Hey guys, good morning. I got a best

861
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 8: and worst and then a Sharif quash explanation. So the

862
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 8: best Clippers blew off the Suns last night to remain

863
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 8: the hottest team. Worst is obviously the Kawhi snub. He's

864
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 8: shooting twice as many threes this year and could be

865
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 8: the ninth player to join the club.

866
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, the NBA and free throw percentage.

867
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, and steals too. Uh but Sharif, it refers to sharia.

868
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 8: Sharia law, which is like a religious law. The dance freedoms,

869
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 8: including rock and roll. So the Chikh is driving the Cadillac,

870
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 8: but doesn't want anyone to degenerate the faithful with that

871
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 8: crazy cash boss around at the KASBA.

872
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. Sharif doesn't like that, Uh, Todd, would

873
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: you learn today? The Saints and Browns are about to

874
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 3: play a game at Paris. What did Paris ever do

875
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 3: to the NFL?

876
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 10: Seatan Having a dragon dislay in sports is not a

877
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 10: bad thing.

878
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 3: Paul, we make it.

879
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,120
