WEBVTT - The Season with Peter Schrager: Dan Patrick

0:00:07.266 --> 0:00:09.706
<v Speaker 1>The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the

0:00:09.786 --> 0:00:24.786
<v Speaker 1>NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, Welcome to

0:00:24.826 --> 0:00:27.386
<v Speaker 1>another episode of the Season with Peter Schreger. We are

0:00:27.386 --> 0:00:31.386
<v Speaker 1>recording this on Halloween Tuesday morning. It is trade deadline

0:00:31.466 --> 0:00:34.146
<v Speaker 1>day as well, so we're not gonna get too much

0:00:34.186 --> 0:00:38.306
<v Speaker 1>into potential transactions or transactions that might happen, because by

0:00:38.306 --> 0:00:40.866
<v Speaker 1>the time you listen to this, it's gonna be already done.

0:00:41.426 --> 0:00:42.866
<v Speaker 1>But if you listen to this podcast, you know it's

0:00:42.906 --> 0:00:46.706
<v Speaker 1>been an ongoing couple weeks where I've been previewing and

0:00:46.746 --> 0:00:49.746
<v Speaker 1>giving out a little bit of information about my Celebrity

0:00:49.826 --> 0:00:53.986
<v Speaker 1>Jeopardy appearance. Now that it aired last Wednesday, the cat

0:00:54.066 --> 0:00:55.906
<v Speaker 1>is out of the bag and I promise not to

0:00:55.946 --> 0:00:58.546
<v Speaker 1>mention it every week for the rest of my life. However,

0:00:59.946 --> 0:01:04.306
<v Speaker 1>my two beautiful producers slash executives on this podcast are

0:01:04.306 --> 0:01:07.066
<v Speaker 1>both on with me now. Aaron Wankof's been the greatest

0:01:07.066 --> 0:01:09.466
<v Speaker 1>producer in the game, and Jason English, who is in

0:01:09.466 --> 0:01:12.346
<v Speaker 1>that studio every single week with us, is from the

0:01:12.386 --> 0:01:15.346
<v Speaker 1>iHeart team. I wanted to open up the phones and

0:01:15.426 --> 0:01:18.146
<v Speaker 1>open up the lines and allow you guys to more

0:01:18.266 --> 0:01:20.426
<v Speaker 1>or less ask me anything you might have as questions,

0:01:20.426 --> 0:01:22.586
<v Speaker 1>but also serve as a press conference of sorts. I

0:01:22.586 --> 0:01:26.386
<v Speaker 1>will start with this though for the listener who has

0:01:26.466 --> 0:01:31.546
<v Speaker 1>not watched the episode. It was myself, Mira, Sorvino, and

0:01:31.746 --> 0:01:34.506
<v Speaker 1>Adam Rodriguez, who is an actor. We went down to

0:01:34.546 --> 0:01:38.186
<v Speaker 1>the final Jeopardy question. Servino had a small edge on me.

0:01:39.066 --> 0:01:44.226
<v Speaker 1>I bet just about everything and Sorvino bet everything and

0:01:44.546 --> 0:01:47.386
<v Speaker 1>we both got it right and she won. I will

0:01:47.386 --> 0:01:49.426
<v Speaker 1>give you some behind the music though now as I

0:01:49.426 --> 0:01:52.746
<v Speaker 1>think it does pertain to some of your questions, and

0:01:52.786 --> 0:01:54.346
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into all of it. If you watched, you

0:01:54.426 --> 0:01:56.466
<v Speaker 1>might want to rewatch it so we can get to

0:01:56.546 --> 0:01:59.706
<v Speaker 1>the nitty gritty depending on Aaron and Jason's questions. But

0:02:00.386 --> 0:02:04.586
<v Speaker 1>here is the backstory of Final Jeopardy if you watched.

0:02:04.706 --> 0:02:08.626
<v Speaker 1>So we go into the last couple questions and Servino

0:02:08.746 --> 0:02:12.986
<v Speaker 1>got like a one thousand or a fifteen hundred dollar

0:02:13.106 --> 0:02:14.906
<v Speaker 1>question and like a five hundred dollars question, so it's

0:02:14.946 --> 0:02:17.226
<v Speaker 1>a big point swing of like two thousand dollars and

0:02:17.266 --> 0:02:21.586
<v Speaker 1>she had, I want to say, like a thousand dollars

0:02:21.666 --> 0:02:23.866
<v Speaker 1>lead on me going into it. It was you know,

0:02:23.866 --> 0:02:26.186
<v Speaker 1>it might have been like nine thousand to eight thousand

0:02:26.466 --> 0:02:28.386
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. Now she had twelve thousand, so it

0:02:28.426 --> 0:02:32.666
<v Speaker 1>was twelve thousand to like eleven hundred. So she was

0:02:32.706 --> 0:02:34.666
<v Speaker 1>up by like a thousand on me. And I'm like,

0:02:35.266 --> 0:02:37.226
<v Speaker 1>give me something because I was rolling, I was in

0:02:37.226 --> 0:02:39.026
<v Speaker 1>the zone here. I'm like, give me a topic that

0:02:39.106 --> 0:02:40.946
<v Speaker 1>I know I can bet it all for and I

0:02:40.946 --> 0:02:44.146
<v Speaker 1>can get it right. The topic comes up and it's

0:02:44.386 --> 0:02:50.386
<v Speaker 1>tween Lit. My heart sinks. Here's the process of how

0:02:50.386 --> 0:02:53.546
<v Speaker 1>it works in real life, just as you see on TV.

0:02:53.666 --> 0:02:57.666
<v Speaker 1>You get that final topic, they give you thirty seconds

0:02:58.506 --> 0:03:03.186
<v Speaker 1>to write in your wager. So she's up a thousand

0:03:03.226 --> 0:03:06.786
<v Speaker 1>on me. I'm like tween Lit. I'm like, like, they

0:03:06.826 --> 0:03:11.226
<v Speaker 1>couldn't give me Arizona Cardinals wide receivers. They couldn't give

0:03:11.266 --> 0:03:14.266
<v Speaker 1>me like nineteen eighties Van Damn movies. I would have

0:03:14.306 --> 0:03:17.946
<v Speaker 1>been money with anything, anything US history. I would be

0:03:17.946 --> 0:03:20.906
<v Speaker 1>good tween Lit as much as I'm a pop culture guy.

0:03:21.586 --> 0:03:24.186
<v Speaker 1>It is a blind spot. And as I look over

0:03:24.226 --> 0:03:26.306
<v Speaker 1>and I would like the Jeopardy producers to hear this,

0:03:27.266 --> 0:03:32.786
<v Speaker 1>Mira Cervino has multiple teenage children sitting in the first

0:03:32.946 --> 0:03:34.586
<v Speaker 1>row of the crowd, and she looks over to them,

0:03:34.626 --> 0:03:35.986
<v Speaker 1>and I get like a thumbs up from them that

0:03:36.106 --> 0:03:39.266
<v Speaker 1>they're encouraging her. I'm like, oh, so like any tween

0:03:39.386 --> 0:03:43.106
<v Speaker 1>lit of the last ten years. She knows. So my

0:03:43.226 --> 0:03:46.426
<v Speaker 1>brain starts scrambling and I'm not intimidated. But I'm also like,

0:03:47.186 --> 0:03:50.826
<v Speaker 1>who wrote the Twilight books. I'm like, damn it, who

0:03:50.826 --> 0:03:54.226
<v Speaker 1>wrote the Twilight books? I'm Abrams. I knew it. I

0:03:54.266 --> 0:03:57.226
<v Speaker 1>was like, it's like Abrams that. I'm like, who wrote

0:03:57.306 --> 0:03:59.266
<v Speaker 1>the Hunger Games? I didn't read any of these books.

0:03:59.306 --> 0:04:01.466
<v Speaker 1>I've never read any of these books. I'm like, Hunger

0:04:01.506 --> 0:04:05.146
<v Speaker 1>Games Collins, Suzanne Collins, this is just walking by a

0:04:05.226 --> 0:04:10.426
<v Speaker 1>Hudson News every week for five years, going to two

0:04:11.026 --> 0:04:14.746
<v Speaker 1>different NFL games, going to LA being delayed, walking through

0:04:14.786 --> 0:04:18.546
<v Speaker 1>Hudson nudes. Then I'm like, all right, what the It's

0:04:18.706 --> 0:04:21.746
<v Speaker 1>Edward and Richard or Edward and Charlie. Who are the

0:04:21.746 --> 0:04:22.426
<v Speaker 1>two Vings?

0:04:22.986 --> 0:04:27.826
<v Speaker 2>It's Edward and Jacob and it's Stephanie Meyers. It's Stephanie.

0:04:28.746 --> 0:04:32.746
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Abrams. Like the Georgia political like in the Democratic

0:04:32.786 --> 0:04:34.666
<v Speaker 1>Party shows you how smart I am. I'm glad I

0:04:34.666 --> 0:04:38.506
<v Speaker 1>didn't get local election politics either. Thanks for correcting me.

0:04:38.506 --> 0:04:41.506
<v Speaker 1>I would have gotten that one all along. So Stephanie Abrams,

0:04:41.546 --> 0:04:43.946
<v Speaker 1>we see, is that her name, Stephanie Abrams, the one

0:04:43.946 --> 0:04:45.546
<v Speaker 1>down in Georgia? Can we look that up? Or is

0:04:45.586 --> 0:04:45.866
<v Speaker 1>that wrong?

0:04:45.906 --> 0:04:46.386
<v Speaker 3>Stacey?

0:04:46.546 --> 0:04:51.386
<v Speaker 1>Stacey Abrams? Okay, what was the guy?

0:04:51.826 --> 0:04:55.866
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie Abrams is a news actor meteorologist on the Weather Channel.

0:04:56.026 --> 0:04:58.226
<v Speaker 1>There you go, yeah, shout out to Stephanie.

0:04:59.146 --> 0:04:59.666
<v Speaker 3>That's great.

0:05:00.786 --> 0:05:02.826
<v Speaker 4>Just like everyone asked me, who'd you go up against

0:05:02.826 --> 0:05:05.066
<v Speaker 4>its celebrity Jeopardy, and I said, meet Lacunas for the

0:05:05.066 --> 0:05:08.746
<v Speaker 4>first two weeks, and it was actually Mira Servino.

0:05:09.786 --> 0:05:10.866
<v Speaker 1>Not great with names.

0:05:11.866 --> 0:05:15.546
<v Speaker 4>I'm like me Lacunas. They're like, really, Mila Cunis. It

0:05:15.626 --> 0:05:16.426
<v Speaker 4>was Mira Servino.

0:05:16.426 --> 0:05:19.906
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, Serveno's got these kids, and I'm like, I don't know,

0:05:19.986 --> 0:05:22.706
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I just said I'll bet just about everything.

0:05:22.706 --> 0:05:26.666
<v Speaker 1>I think. I bet seventy two hundred. I had eleven hundred.

0:05:27.066 --> 0:05:29.586
<v Speaker 1>And I see her smiling, and I'm like, she knows this.

0:05:30.186 --> 0:05:32.426
<v Speaker 1>So we get to it. The question is and I

0:05:32.426 --> 0:05:34.266
<v Speaker 1>don't know if the word for word, but basically it

0:05:34.346 --> 0:05:39.826
<v Speaker 1>was like this tween literature author later said she regretted

0:05:39.866 --> 0:05:42.746
<v Speaker 1>not calling her famous book just Margaret as opposed to

0:05:42.826 --> 0:05:45.706
<v Speaker 1>the long title, and I'm like, are you there, God, Margaret,

0:05:45.746 --> 0:05:47.826
<v Speaker 1>that's probably wrong, but I'm like, that's Judy Bloom. I

0:05:47.866 --> 0:05:50.386
<v Speaker 1>know Judy Bloom. I know Tales, what fourth grade? Nothing,

0:05:50.466 --> 0:05:53.666
<v Speaker 1>I know super Fudge. I'm like, hell yeah, I go

0:05:53.746 --> 0:05:56.786
<v Speaker 1>seventy two hundred dollars. I'm already in pop committed. Who

0:05:56.826 --> 0:05:59.306
<v Speaker 1>is Judy Bloom? I have enough time where I could write,

0:05:59.466 --> 0:06:01.786
<v Speaker 1>you know, hello, Melon Betty, my kids. I've always wanted

0:06:01.786 --> 0:06:05.226
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I was on cloud nine here, but

0:06:05.266 --> 0:06:08.786
<v Speaker 1>then I look over and Serveno Slash Kunis Slash whoever

0:06:08.986 --> 0:06:12.706
<v Speaker 1>had already written her answer, and it's just like staring

0:06:12.746 --> 0:06:15.506
<v Speaker 1>off into oblivion. I'm like, so then they come to

0:06:15.546 --> 0:06:18.026
<v Speaker 1>me and it's like, all right, Peter, did you have

0:06:18.906 --> 0:06:22.426
<v Speaker 1>you know the correct answer? I'm like, who is Judy Bloom? Hello,

0:06:22.506 --> 0:06:24.986
<v Speaker 1>Melon Betty? And he's like, that is correct. Jennings by

0:06:25.026 --> 0:06:27.786
<v Speaker 1>the way, a mensch loved this guy. He's like, that

0:06:27.906 --> 0:06:31.786
<v Speaker 1>is correct, Peter, how much did you wager? Seventy two hundred?

0:06:31.986 --> 0:06:34.506
<v Speaker 1>And you want to say hello to Melon Betty? And

0:06:34.506 --> 0:06:37.186
<v Speaker 1>I said good night, guys, good night, Melon Betty, my

0:06:37.226 --> 0:06:39.466
<v Speaker 1>two kids, and like that was cool, great, got that

0:06:39.586 --> 0:06:42.226
<v Speaker 1>in now, I'm like a competitor in me. As much

0:06:42.226 --> 0:06:44.066
<v Speaker 1>as I want everyone's charity to do well, and I

0:06:44.106 --> 0:06:46.306
<v Speaker 1>want to, I want Servina to fall in her face.

0:06:46.506 --> 0:06:48.226
<v Speaker 1>I want her to come out here and be like,

0:06:49.706 --> 0:06:52.866
<v Speaker 1>who's another teen literature person? JK.

0:06:52.986 --> 0:06:53.306
<v Speaker 5>Rowling?

0:06:53.346 --> 0:06:55.346
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see something. I want her to get something.

0:06:56.266 --> 0:06:58.826
<v Speaker 1>She comes out and she's like, who is Judy Bloom?

0:06:58.946 --> 0:07:01.466
<v Speaker 1>And she is right? And she bet it all so

0:07:01.506 --> 0:07:04.426
<v Speaker 1>she was nervous about me, which I liked. She bet

0:07:04.426 --> 0:07:07.186
<v Speaker 1>twelve two hundred. So I can go to sleep at

0:07:07.266 --> 0:07:10.066
<v Speaker 1>night knowing I played a great game. I also can

0:07:10.106 --> 0:07:11.986
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep knowing that even if I wagered all

0:07:12.026 --> 0:07:15.626
<v Speaker 1>of mine eleven thousand, she still would have won because

0:07:15.666 --> 0:07:18.706
<v Speaker 1>she met all of hers. In closing, Michael Davies, the

0:07:18.746 --> 0:07:22.106
<v Speaker 1>executive producer who also works at Sony and has a

0:07:22.146 --> 0:07:24.666
<v Speaker 1>million other shows, Watch What's Happening Live and Good Morning Football,

0:07:24.666 --> 0:07:27.706
<v Speaker 1>all these things. He has put in this thing for

0:07:27.866 --> 0:07:30.466
<v Speaker 1>Jeopardy Now where you can go online and look up

0:07:30.506 --> 0:07:33.946
<v Speaker 1>the stats how many times you've buzzed right, how many

0:07:33.946 --> 0:07:36.626
<v Speaker 1>times you got here was the backbreaker for me, if

0:07:36.666 --> 0:07:41.426
<v Speaker 1>you noticed, and we'll get through it. The first first category,

0:07:42.186 --> 0:07:44.306
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even get a buzzer in. I was in

0:07:44.306 --> 0:07:48.666
<v Speaker 1>a two thousand dollars hole from Go where both Cervino

0:07:48.786 --> 0:07:51.186
<v Speaker 1>and Rodriguez had the buzzer down. The buzzer will screw

0:07:51.226 --> 0:07:53.706
<v Speaker 1>me up. I finally got the rhythm down, but I

0:07:53.746 --> 0:07:59.586
<v Speaker 1>buzzed in on. I got nineteen questions right, Aaron Jason,

0:07:59.666 --> 0:08:04.746
<v Speaker 1>I only got three questions wrong my entire jeopardy experience,

0:08:04.906 --> 0:08:08.866
<v Speaker 1>nineteen right, re wrong. Two of them happened to be

0:08:09.026 --> 0:08:13.026
<v Speaker 1>daily doubles, so I got burned on those where I

0:08:13.106 --> 0:08:15.026
<v Speaker 1>got them wrong, and we can go through them the

0:08:15.186 --> 0:08:17.346
<v Speaker 1>correct answers. I don't know if you asked me twenty

0:08:17.346 --> 0:08:18.746
<v Speaker 1>times if I would have gotten either one of them.

0:08:18.746 --> 0:08:21.426
<v Speaker 1>I have no regrets on those, but the one that

0:08:21.506 --> 0:08:26.746
<v Speaker 1>really screwed me. There was some question about funguss at

0:08:26.786 --> 0:08:30.186
<v Speaker 1>the end, and it says something with the internet and

0:08:30.306 --> 0:08:33.186
<v Speaker 1>a web, and these guys both answer, and it was

0:08:33.226 --> 0:08:35.906
<v Speaker 1>fifteen hundred dollars and they both answer wrong. And if

0:08:35.946 --> 0:08:40.666
<v Speaker 1>I had just stayed quiet and not guessed anything, I

0:08:40.666 --> 0:08:43.146
<v Speaker 1>would have had a nice three thousand dollars swing. I

0:08:43.146 --> 0:08:45.426
<v Speaker 1>probably would have wanted the final jeopardy with the most points.

0:08:45.426 --> 0:08:47.266
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have won the entire thing because I

0:08:47.266 --> 0:08:50.906
<v Speaker 1>got Final Jeopardy right, but there was this like like

0:08:51.026 --> 0:08:52.906
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling it. I was hot. I felt like Michael

0:08:52.946 --> 0:08:55.706
<v Speaker 1>Jordan against Utah, like I'm like I can't miss right now,

0:08:55.746 --> 0:08:57.746
<v Speaker 1>and this is like Cliff Robinson and the Blazers, and

0:08:57.746 --> 0:08:59.706
<v Speaker 1>I'm just shrugging to the crowd because I'm so hot.

0:09:00.146 --> 0:09:03.906
<v Speaker 1>I buzz in and I'm like, what is the dark web?

0:09:04.346 --> 0:09:04.866
<v Speaker 3>And everything?

0:09:04.906 --> 0:09:05.826
<v Speaker 2>It's a great answer.

0:09:07.066 --> 0:09:10.506
<v Speaker 1>Every It was about fungus and a web, and everyone

0:09:10.626 --> 0:09:12.586
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd like gasped because you know, on the

0:09:12.666 --> 0:09:16.506
<v Speaker 1>dark web it's like porn and like child like disgusting things.

0:09:16.546 --> 0:09:18.146
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what the dark web is, but

0:09:18.146 --> 0:09:21.586
<v Speaker 1>I'm like the dark web and he's like, sorry, that's incorrect.

0:09:21.586 --> 0:09:25.426
<v Speaker 1>The answer was wood wide web, which I don't know

0:09:25.466 --> 0:09:27.826
<v Speaker 1>what that even is. I mean, this is Celebrity Jeopardy.

0:09:27.826 --> 0:09:29.906
<v Speaker 1>We're domba, like, what are you doing with wood wide web?

0:09:30.586 --> 0:09:33.546
<v Speaker 1>I got it wrong. It cost me fifteen hundred dollars.

0:09:33.986 --> 0:09:37.506
<v Speaker 1>I was in a funk after that, and I'll be honest,

0:09:37.546 --> 0:09:40.906
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't buzz in, I probably would have won

0:09:41.066 --> 0:09:44.986
<v Speaker 1>Celebrity Jeopardy. I have no regrets. I did it so

0:09:45.026 --> 0:09:49.786
<v Speaker 1>I got nineteen right, three wrong. Sorvino got like twenty

0:09:49.826 --> 0:09:53.746
<v Speaker 1>six right and like seven wrong. So she was quicker

0:09:53.786 --> 0:09:56.346
<v Speaker 1>on the buzzer. So if I had like twenty two

0:09:56.426 --> 0:09:58.546
<v Speaker 1>that I even got a chance to answer. She had

0:09:58.546 --> 0:10:00.306
<v Speaker 1>thirty three. She was quicker on the buzzer around like

0:10:00.346 --> 0:10:03.386
<v Speaker 1>eleven of them. So I will take my hat and

0:10:03.466 --> 0:10:06.386
<v Speaker 1>I will I will do hats off to mirror Servena.

0:10:06.826 --> 0:10:09.306
<v Speaker 1>She kicked my ass in Jeopardy at the last second,

0:10:09.706 --> 0:10:12.026
<v Speaker 1>and she did so by being better on the buzzer.

0:10:12.986 --> 0:10:15.506
<v Speaker 1>She was a worthy opponent. I am proud of her.

0:10:15.666 --> 0:10:17.386
<v Speaker 1>We have not said a word to each other since

0:10:17.466 --> 0:10:20.266
<v Speaker 1>and watching it back, she had kind of a snide

0:10:20.506 --> 0:10:23.826
<v Speaker 1>comment after I guessed who is Debbie Gibson, like she

0:10:23.906 --> 0:10:27.226
<v Speaker 1>was surprised that I would know Debbie Gibson. Mira, please, well,

0:10:27.266 --> 0:10:29.426
<v Speaker 1>you were starring in Oscar winning films. I was in

0:10:29.426 --> 0:10:32.906
<v Speaker 1>my shag carpet den of a computer room down in

0:10:32.906 --> 0:10:34.946
<v Speaker 1>free On, New Jersey, listening to not only Debbie Gibson,

0:10:34.946 --> 0:10:39.066
<v Speaker 1>but to Tiffany, to Sina Easton, to Blinda Carlisle, to

0:10:39.106 --> 0:10:44.186
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals. I go deep on pop music. That was

0:10:44.226 --> 0:10:46.786
<v Speaker 1>my experience. We can ask all the questions. We got

0:10:46.786 --> 0:10:50.186
<v Speaker 1>about five minutes until our guest comes on, So I'll

0:10:50.186 --> 0:10:51.986
<v Speaker 1>start with you on a press conference. I will call

0:10:52.026 --> 0:10:55.386
<v Speaker 1>on you guys, ask me anything. We'll start. We're gonna

0:10:55.386 --> 0:10:57.906
<v Speaker 1>start with you, Aaron. What is your first question about

0:10:57.906 --> 0:10:58.946
<v Speaker 1>the Jeopardy experience.

0:10:59.706 --> 0:11:04.466
<v Speaker 2>So, mister Schrager, when the categories are shown and they're revealed,

0:11:04.786 --> 0:11:07.666
<v Speaker 2>which was the one that a gave you the most

0:11:08.026 --> 0:11:11.586
<v Speaker 2>anxiety and the one that be you were like, I got.

0:11:11.346 --> 0:11:16.746
<v Speaker 1>This, okay, most anxiety was Nobel Prizes. Didn't know what

0:11:16.826 --> 0:11:19.146
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about, the Peace Prize, didn't know if we're

0:11:19.186 --> 0:11:22.586
<v Speaker 1>talking about like some scientists. And sure enough, one of

0:11:22.626 --> 0:11:26.866
<v Speaker 1>the daily doubles was about the Nobel Prize for science

0:11:27.066 --> 0:11:31.026
<v Speaker 1>or something, and it was like this this city. I

0:11:31.026 --> 0:11:32.346
<v Speaker 1>guess do you remember the.

0:11:32.386 --> 0:11:35.386
<v Speaker 2>Question where this? What city is it? Are they awarded

0:11:35.426 --> 0:11:35.786
<v Speaker 2>in it?

0:11:35.826 --> 0:11:37.626
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't where they awarded in?

0:11:37.706 --> 0:11:41.666
<v Speaker 6>Wasn't it like it, where's the newest prize awarded in

0:11:41.706 --> 0:11:43.146
<v Speaker 6>this Scandinavian?

0:11:43.426 --> 0:11:43.986
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:11:44.026 --> 0:11:45.866
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I wouldn't have gotten that one. Jason.

0:11:45.906 --> 0:11:50.266
<v Speaker 1>I was I'm like Scandinavian, so I'm thinking Helsinki. I'm thinking,

0:11:51.826 --> 0:11:55.266
<v Speaker 1>like I got what's Norway? And I didn't have it,

0:11:55.306 --> 0:11:58.706
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, is Denmark? And I was like, I'm

0:11:58.706 --> 0:12:01.826
<v Speaker 1>gonna go Denmark. I'm gonna say Copenhagen, which sounds like

0:12:01.866 --> 0:12:04.106
<v Speaker 1>an elegant city, great city, and I had just been

0:12:04.106 --> 0:12:08.106
<v Speaker 1>watching The Bear and that restaurant. What's the restaurant like Noma?

0:12:08.146 --> 0:12:10.586
<v Speaker 1>Is that what it's called. It's like the fanciest restaurant

0:12:10.586 --> 0:12:13.466
<v Speaker 1>in the world, and I think it's in either Copenhagen

0:12:13.546 --> 0:12:16.786
<v Speaker 1>or Amsterdam. I was like, what is Copenhagen, feeling like

0:12:16.866 --> 0:12:19.106
<v Speaker 1>it was chance. The answer was what is Oslo? And

0:12:19.146 --> 0:12:21.066
<v Speaker 1>I'm kicking myself. I'm like, of all the daily doubles,

0:12:21.106 --> 0:12:23.906
<v Speaker 1>why do I get one in Nobel Prizes? So that's

0:12:23.906 --> 0:12:26.506
<v Speaker 1>a great question. The one I felt most confident in

0:12:26.706 --> 0:12:28.666
<v Speaker 1>was the EI E I Oh.

0:12:28.746 --> 0:12:30.426
<v Speaker 2>You did so well in that yeah.

0:12:30.266 --> 0:12:33.826
<v Speaker 1>And I cleaned up bro And it was basically pop

0:12:34.146 --> 0:12:38.946
<v Speaker 1>stars who have those letters or pop bands yeah songs

0:12:39.346 --> 0:12:43.146
<v Speaker 1>And I got one there in the Gemina bottle from

0:12:43.226 --> 0:12:47.746
<v Speaker 1>Christina Aguilera One direction and Debbie Gibson. Kicking myself afterwards,

0:12:47.986 --> 0:12:51.306
<v Speaker 1>they said, which Madonna's greatest hits is? E? I E,

0:12:51.426 --> 0:12:54.506
<v Speaker 1>I Oh? And I'm thinking about Madonna's greatest hits and Honestly,

0:12:54.506 --> 0:12:58.146
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of the movie what was it Truth or Dare?

0:12:58.986 --> 0:13:00.586
<v Speaker 1>And I'm thinking, is it called Truth or Dare? It

0:13:00.586 --> 0:13:02.546
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make sense, and like it was around the same time,

0:13:03.146 --> 0:13:05.746
<v Speaker 1>and of course it's the Immaculate Collection, which I had

0:13:05.746 --> 0:13:09.066
<v Speaker 1>that two CD in my bedroom and I'm kicking myself.

0:13:09.146 --> 0:13:09.866
<v Speaker 1>But no regrets.

0:13:09.986 --> 0:13:11.706
<v Speaker 6>That was a hard one because they didn't give you

0:13:11.746 --> 0:13:14.226
<v Speaker 6>a ton of letters in that one either.

0:13:14.386 --> 0:13:16.346
<v Speaker 1>No, it was just like blank, all right, Jason, what

0:13:16.346 --> 0:13:16.826
<v Speaker 1>do you got?

0:13:17.146 --> 0:13:17.466
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:13:17.546 --> 0:13:20.986
<v Speaker 6>So I don't often request to come on the podcast here,

0:13:21.026 --> 0:13:23.946
<v Speaker 6>but I felt this is important. My favorite thing about

0:13:23.946 --> 0:13:27.706
<v Speaker 6>this show is when you go deep with coaches gms

0:13:27.746 --> 0:13:33.106
<v Speaker 6>about their origin, how they started making copies, cut breaking

0:13:33.146 --> 0:13:33.866
<v Speaker 6>down film.

0:13:33.986 --> 0:13:36.226
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you have a.

0:13:36.186 --> 0:13:41.346
<v Speaker 6>Similar Jeopardy story where you were a viewer and then

0:13:41.386 --> 0:13:45.546
<v Speaker 6>you were playing on the Commodore at sixty four for sure,

0:13:46.426 --> 0:13:48.586
<v Speaker 6>and then you were you got to read a clue?

0:13:48.626 --> 0:13:49.466
<v Speaker 6>Was that last year?

0:13:49.626 --> 0:13:51.146
<v Speaker 1>That was last year I got to read a clue?

0:13:51.186 --> 0:13:54.466
<v Speaker 1>It was like this NFL quarterback went from the forty

0:13:54.546 --> 0:13:56.426
<v Speaker 1>nine ers to the Chiefs and then beat the forty

0:13:56.506 --> 0:13:58.906
<v Speaker 1>nine ers the first time they played who is Joe Montana?

0:13:58.906 --> 0:13:59.426
<v Speaker 1>All right? Go on?

0:13:59.706 --> 0:14:04.746
<v Speaker 6>So that for most people, that would have been enough Jeopardy,

0:14:04.906 --> 0:14:11.106
<v Speaker 6>that's the pinnacle. But this season Celebrity Jeopardy, the advanced analytics,

0:14:11.146 --> 0:14:11.546
<v Speaker 6>I think.

0:14:11.386 --> 0:14:14.186
<v Speaker 1>Are going to back up your claim, your your.

0:14:14.146 --> 0:14:18.826
<v Speaker 6>Strong candidate, second place finish, acquitted yourself.

0:14:18.506 --> 0:14:19.746
<v Speaker 1>Well, solid showing.

0:14:20.226 --> 0:14:22.146
<v Speaker 3>I don't I'm getting to a question.

0:14:22.146 --> 0:14:22.866
<v Speaker 6>I'm getting to a question.

0:14:23.146 --> 0:14:25.706
<v Speaker 1>I love your question. You're like me on these podcasts.

0:14:26.946 --> 0:14:28.106
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to end there.

0:14:28.386 --> 0:14:31.066
<v Speaker 6>I think that we've got a lot of influential sports

0:14:31.146 --> 0:14:35.306
<v Speaker 6>media and media people who listen to this show. Michael

0:14:35.386 --> 0:14:36.946
<v Speaker 6>Davies your your friend.

0:14:37.346 --> 0:14:38.586
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't listen to this, but go on.

0:14:39.066 --> 0:14:41.866
<v Speaker 6>We can forward him the bar, this clip, this part

0:14:42.786 --> 0:14:46.266
<v Speaker 6>Sports Jeopardy. Why isn't there Sports Jeopardy? And why aren't

0:14:46.266 --> 0:14:49.346
<v Speaker 6>you the host? This should be on six hundred markets

0:14:49.346 --> 0:14:50.146
<v Speaker 6>across the world.

0:14:50.626 --> 0:14:53.026
<v Speaker 1>Jason, it's a great question. I'll go even more specific.

0:14:53.346 --> 0:14:57.826
<v Speaker 1>The NFL the most powerful brand in the business. Jeopardy

0:14:57.826 --> 0:15:01.186
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful game show. I think we could just

0:15:01.186 --> 0:15:03.106
<v Speaker 1>do NFL Jeopardy and it would be a huge hit.

0:15:03.266 --> 0:15:05.586
<v Speaker 1>Throw it on the NFL network instead of re airing

0:15:05.626 --> 0:15:09.426
<v Speaker 1>a preseason game from twenty fourteen or showing some crappy

0:15:09.706 --> 0:15:13.066
<v Speaker 1>you know, reair of a game that we haven't throw on,

0:15:13.226 --> 0:15:16.746
<v Speaker 1>just episode after episode. We could bank hundreds of these

0:15:17.226 --> 0:15:20.226
<v Speaker 1>and it would do really well. I think people from

0:15:20.226 --> 0:15:23.426
<v Speaker 1>the NFL network, in the NFL media, you know, conglomerate

0:15:23.546 --> 0:15:27.106
<v Speaker 1>that that employs us, listen to this. I'm not trying

0:15:27.146 --> 0:15:29.026
<v Speaker 1>to say it's the biggest no brainer in the world,

0:15:29.026 --> 0:15:31.746
<v Speaker 1>but it wouldn't cost much. I would do it with

0:15:31.786 --> 0:15:35.186
<v Speaker 1>such joy. We could bank four hundred. Now here's my

0:15:35.306 --> 0:15:37.026
<v Speaker 1>question to you, though, because I'll spin it on you.

0:15:37.106 --> 0:15:41.466
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a no brainer. Do you have current

0:15:41.626 --> 0:15:48.106
<v Speaker 1>NFL personalities as the guests or do you have the

0:15:48.386 --> 0:15:52.426
<v Speaker 1>most hardcore football fans as Jeopardy contestants? Or do you

0:15:52.506 --> 0:15:55.866
<v Speaker 1>like have like Sean mcva verus Kyle Shanahan versus Nick

0:15:55.946 --> 0:15:59.706
<v Speaker 1>Sirianni Jason your thoughts.

0:15:59.506 --> 0:16:03.146
<v Speaker 6>I think I'd want some personalities in there. So you're

0:16:03.186 --> 0:16:07.026
<v Speaker 6>the host, are we bringing on play show?

0:16:07.986 --> 0:16:08.186
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:16:08.226 --> 0:16:10.826
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, I just said coaches, Like we have

0:16:10.866 --> 0:16:13.426
<v Speaker 1>coaches and gms, and you have owners and you have

0:16:13.466 --> 0:16:15.746
<v Speaker 1>some players. But like then you got to really sort of,

0:16:16.066 --> 0:16:18.026
<v Speaker 1>you know, narrow it down to the current day. But

0:16:18.066 --> 0:16:21.786
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking, like, you know, let's have an owner's

0:16:21.906 --> 0:16:24.666
<v Speaker 1>edition let's have NFC West coaches Pete Carroll goes up

0:16:24.706 --> 0:16:27.146
<v Speaker 1>against Sean McVay, who goes up against Kyle Shanahan. Do

0:16:27.186 --> 0:16:29.106
<v Speaker 1>you want to go that cerific because there's a way

0:16:29.146 --> 0:16:32.866
<v Speaker 1>to do that or is it just the smartest celebrity fans,

0:16:32.946 --> 0:16:35.146
<v Speaker 1>the guys and gals who live and breathe this thing,

0:16:35.186 --> 0:16:37.066
<v Speaker 1>and you can go real deep and be like, who

0:16:37.066 --> 0:16:39.266
<v Speaker 1>were number twenty five for the Denver Broncos in the

0:16:39.346 --> 0:16:42.546
<v Speaker 1>late seventies. It's like boom, who is you know, Haven Moses?

0:16:42.706 --> 0:16:44.106
<v Speaker 1>You know, like, do you want that?

0:16:44.946 --> 0:16:45.226
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:16:45.266 --> 0:16:47.186
<v Speaker 6>I think I think I want that. I think it

0:16:47.186 --> 0:16:51.186
<v Speaker 6>would be too difficult to to get the coaches, get

0:16:51.186 --> 0:16:54.426
<v Speaker 6>the g you know, get your buddies who you know

0:16:55.026 --> 0:16:58.946
<v Speaker 6>no football Like, you can't just always be like we

0:16:59.306 --> 0:17:01.546
<v Speaker 6>when you guys do that good morning football game, or

0:17:01.546 --> 0:17:04.546
<v Speaker 6>you just show pictures of old quarterbacks like that could

0:17:04.546 --> 0:17:07.746
<v Speaker 6>be the one hundred dollars rat yes, and then and

0:17:08.266 --> 0:17:12.346
<v Speaker 6>move on and get that the elite level. Who are

0:17:12.386 --> 0:17:15.786
<v Speaker 6>you inviting on in this first first season sweeps week?

0:17:16.066 --> 0:17:19.946
<v Speaker 6>Who we got Aaron Rodgers is a guest, Tom Brady's

0:17:19.946 --> 0:17:23.186
<v Speaker 6>a guest, and Peyton Manning's a guest. That's your first episode, the.

0:17:23.146 --> 0:17:27.026
<v Speaker 1>Three, the three intellectual quarterbacks, the three you know, smartest

0:17:27.146 --> 0:17:29.026
<v Speaker 1>Jeopardy guys. I would have all those guys on. Then

0:17:29.026 --> 0:17:32.586
<v Speaker 1>I would go sports media style. I would have Collinsworth

0:17:32.706 --> 0:17:37.866
<v Speaker 1>versus Aikman versus Oh I don't need herb Street he

0:17:37.946 --> 0:17:42.066
<v Speaker 1>I think NFL like voices who Romo. I would go

0:17:42.186 --> 0:17:46.226
<v Speaker 1>Romo versus Collinsworth versus Aikman and have Greg Olsen. You know,

0:17:46.266 --> 0:17:49.146
<v Speaker 1>maybe if one of those guys is not available or

0:17:49.146 --> 0:17:51.106
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, with slide Greg and like, that's how

0:17:51.106 --> 0:17:53.146
<v Speaker 1>I would look at it, and then you can have

0:17:53.786 --> 0:17:59.026
<v Speaker 1>Eisen versus Turrico versus you know, James Brown. I don't know.

0:17:59.066 --> 0:18:01.146
<v Speaker 1>There's a million ways to go about this thing, and

0:18:01.386 --> 0:18:04.466
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a great idea. Again, the IP is there,

0:18:04.586 --> 0:18:06.146
<v Speaker 1>the NFL is there, and I don't want to give

0:18:06.146 --> 0:18:08.346
<v Speaker 1>any more away because someone listening is gonna probably take

0:18:08.386 --> 0:18:10.586
<v Speaker 1>it and Rich Eyes and Linda posting it instead of me.

0:18:11.226 --> 0:18:13.306
<v Speaker 2>All right, I got one more for you on your

0:18:13.386 --> 0:18:17.186
<v Speaker 2>final quick one of all the nineteen questions you got right,

0:18:17.346 --> 0:18:19.226
<v Speaker 2>which is the one you're most proud of?

0:18:19.626 --> 0:18:19.946
<v Speaker 3>Great?

0:18:20.186 --> 0:18:23.306
<v Speaker 1>Great question. I took a few guesses that were right.

0:18:23.986 --> 0:18:26.586
<v Speaker 1>One of them was the two bridges connecting or the

0:18:26.586 --> 0:18:29.186
<v Speaker 1>bridge that connected two peninsulas. It was like the upper

0:18:29.226 --> 0:18:31.586
<v Speaker 1>and lower peninsula this state, and it was what is Michigan?

0:18:31.666 --> 0:18:33.586
<v Speaker 1>And that was a complete shot in the dark. Another

0:18:33.626 --> 0:18:35.546
<v Speaker 1>one was a fungus question. It was early on it

0:18:35.626 --> 0:18:37.306
<v Speaker 1>was like this fungus in it. I was just like,

0:18:37.346 --> 0:18:38.986
<v Speaker 1>I don't know any fungus, but it's a two hundred

0:18:38.986 --> 0:18:42.106
<v Speaker 1>dollars question. What is mushroom? And they're like, that's correct,

0:18:42.106 --> 0:18:43.586
<v Speaker 1>and I pretend like I knew what it was. I

0:18:43.626 --> 0:18:46.306
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what it was. And then I took a

0:18:46.466 --> 0:18:49.786
<v Speaker 1>wild guess on the veal one and it was like

0:18:49.786 --> 0:18:52.586
<v Speaker 1>this type of veal is named after a famous musician

0:18:52.626 --> 0:18:54.466
<v Speaker 1>who did it my way, and I'm like, oh, that's Sinatra.

0:18:54.586 --> 0:18:57.186
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't know and I originally said what is

0:18:57.226 --> 0:18:59.506
<v Speaker 1>then I changed it to who is I was. I

0:18:59.546 --> 0:19:01.466
<v Speaker 1>was in the zone. I had an amazing experience. And

0:19:01.506 --> 0:19:04.146
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the producers were great. Everyone was great.

0:19:04.506 --> 0:19:08.266
<v Speaker 1>And it's over and you know, my son got to

0:19:08.306 --> 0:19:10.546
<v Speaker 1>watch it. He was proud of me. My wife got

0:19:10.546 --> 0:19:11.946
<v Speaker 1>to watch it. I think she was into me for

0:19:11.986 --> 0:19:13.986
<v Speaker 1>the first time in like a year. So it was cool.

0:19:14.506 --> 0:19:16.946
<v Speaker 1>I got text from I got text from so many

0:19:16.986 --> 0:19:19.946
<v Speaker 1>people that I had not heard from in years, but

0:19:20.026 --> 0:19:22.306
<v Speaker 1>also people that I didn't even think would be Jeopardy

0:19:22.346 --> 0:19:23.746
<v Speaker 1>watchers who didn't know I was going to be on

0:19:23.786 --> 0:19:26.786
<v Speaker 1>the show. It really meant a lot. And if you

0:19:26.866 --> 0:19:28.946
<v Speaker 1>do know me and you didn't text me, I also

0:19:28.986 --> 0:19:30.786
<v Speaker 1>remember that as well, because that's just how I lived

0:19:30.826 --> 0:19:31.586
<v Speaker 1>my life, you know what I mean?

0:19:34.106 --> 0:19:38.586
<v Speaker 2>It just you know, no beef held there, right, Yeah.

0:19:38.466 --> 0:19:41.706
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, We've got a great guest, as you see in

0:19:41.746 --> 0:19:43.386
<v Speaker 1>the title here. In a second, we're going to get

0:19:43.426 --> 0:19:46.506
<v Speaker 1>to him. But real quick, it's Halloween today and I

0:19:46.626 --> 0:19:49.586
<v Speaker 1>dressed as Al Davis on the show, and I like

0:19:49.906 --> 0:19:53.066
<v Speaker 1>watched forty five minutes of Al Davis interviews just to

0:19:53.106 --> 0:19:55.866
<v Speaker 1>like get down the affect and the Brooklyn yet also

0:19:55.906 --> 0:19:58.906
<v Speaker 1>get the walk right. And it felt great. You'll appreciate this.

0:19:58.946 --> 0:20:02.546
<v Speaker 1>They blow dry, They did the blow dry of the hair,

0:20:02.626 --> 0:20:04.266
<v Speaker 1>but then they slicked it back. It was like a

0:20:04.306 --> 0:20:07.386
<v Speaker 1>concrete like slab on my head. I had the white

0:20:07.426 --> 0:20:11.146
<v Speaker 1>on white satin with the with the amazing white pants.

0:20:11.146 --> 0:20:13.026
<v Speaker 1>I had chains, I had pinky rings, I had the

0:20:13.066 --> 0:20:16.786
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. So we get done with the show, I

0:20:16.866 --> 0:20:19.026
<v Speaker 1>take it off and I'm like all right time to

0:20:19.106 --> 0:20:22.586
<v Speaker 1>go back to Brooklyn. I, you know, take a subway back.

0:20:22.666 --> 0:20:25.506
<v Speaker 1>I get back off the subway, look at and I

0:20:25.586 --> 0:20:29.266
<v Speaker 1>realized I never removed the rings of the necklaces. So

0:20:29.346 --> 0:20:34.586
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there with this crazy hair, regular clothes and

0:20:35.106 --> 0:20:38.666
<v Speaker 1>pinky rings and a necklace that was like a big,

0:20:38.706 --> 0:20:41.986
<v Speaker 1>gaudy silver necklace. I almost got myself pickpocket. I don't

0:20:41.986 --> 0:20:43.426
<v Speaker 1>know what I was thinking I was on the subway,

0:20:44.066 --> 0:20:47.026
<v Speaker 1>but yes, that was my experience. And then later today

0:20:47.026 --> 0:20:48.666
<v Speaker 1>I'll be trick or treating and I gotta be honest,

0:20:49.106 --> 0:20:50.506
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want to get back in that Al

0:20:50.586 --> 0:20:52.906
<v Speaker 1>Davis gear. I kind of liked embodying Al Davis. It

0:20:52.946 --> 0:20:55.106
<v Speaker 1>felt kind of good. Aaron, are you trick or treating?

0:20:55.146 --> 0:20:57.706
<v Speaker 1>Do you do this as a man with no children

0:20:57.706 --> 0:20:59.226
<v Speaker 1>at the moment? Do you still engage?

0:21:00.586 --> 0:21:00.786
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:21:00.946 --> 0:21:05.386
<v Speaker 2>We did two parties this weekend now just like yeah,

0:21:05.626 --> 0:21:07.906
<v Speaker 2>very active we can for me. And also just like

0:21:08.066 --> 0:21:10.426
<v Speaker 2>last year, I remember you asked me what I was

0:21:10.466 --> 0:21:11.906
<v Speaker 2>doing for Halloween.

0:21:11.466 --> 0:21:13.826
<v Speaker 1>As like Beethoven symphony or something like.

0:21:14.106 --> 0:21:17.306
<v Speaker 2>I went to the dog Halloween costume contest.

0:21:17.826 --> 0:21:18.226
<v Speaker 1>How was it?

0:21:18.666 --> 0:21:21.146
<v Speaker 2>I did it again this year and it was incredible.

0:21:21.186 --> 0:21:24.706
<v Speaker 2>I love that I was I think, I was telling

0:21:24.746 --> 0:21:27.386
<v Speaker 2>Shane afterwards, I have never felt more strong. I was

0:21:27.386 --> 0:21:29.106
<v Speaker 2>like it was like rooting for a sports team. There

0:21:29.186 --> 0:21:31.306
<v Speaker 2>was one dog in particular I wanted to win, and

0:21:31.346 --> 0:21:31.826
<v Speaker 2>they did win.

0:21:31.946 --> 0:21:32.986
<v Speaker 1>What did the dog go?

0:21:33.106 --> 0:21:36.946
<v Speaker 2>As David Byrne in the oversized suit?

0:21:37.426 --> 0:21:38.506
<v Speaker 1>It was making sense?

0:21:40.066 --> 0:21:41.266
<v Speaker 3>It was so good.

0:21:42.466 --> 0:21:45.786
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and like, I truly have never loved a costume

0:21:45.826 --> 0:21:49.066
<v Speaker 2>like that. And then I went as Carmi from the Bear.

0:21:49.386 --> 0:21:51.546
<v Speaker 1>Yes, dude, great, Why Carmie?

0:21:51.546 --> 0:21:51.826
<v Speaker 6>Why not?

0:21:51.866 --> 0:21:55.706
<v Speaker 1>Why not still have my temporary tattoo on? Nice? Why

0:21:55.786 --> 0:21:58.226
<v Speaker 1>not Richie? Too deep cut? You like Carmi?

0:21:58.706 --> 0:22:02.266
<v Speaker 2>I had the equipment for Carmi a little bit easier,

0:22:02.306 --> 0:22:02.666
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:22:02.906 --> 0:22:05.626
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, I would have I would have gone.

0:22:05.626 --> 0:22:08.506
<v Speaker 1>It was his name, fac Hodagan. What was his name,

0:22:08.506 --> 0:22:10.826
<v Speaker 1>Mattie Matheson? What was his character? He was great? I

0:22:10.826 --> 0:22:14.226
<v Speaker 1>love him in the back. All right. One more thing

0:22:14.586 --> 0:22:18.626
<v Speaker 1>I have This year, I've been in devouring books on

0:22:18.706 --> 0:22:21.746
<v Speaker 1>my flights to LA and back. I've read the Michael

0:22:21.826 --> 0:22:27.786
<v Speaker 1>Lewis book about SBF. I've read the Isaacson one on Musk.

0:22:27.826 --> 0:22:30.826
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading all the stuff that's out. I'm I have

0:22:30.866 --> 0:22:35.466
<v Speaker 1>to make a recommendation everybody read the John Stamos memoir.

0:22:36.066 --> 0:22:38.306
<v Speaker 1>It just came out. There's been a lot of press

0:22:38.346 --> 0:22:40.666
<v Speaker 1>about some of the things he says about his marriage

0:22:40.706 --> 0:22:44.266
<v Speaker 1>to Rebecca Romaine. Don't be sidetracked by that being what

0:22:44.306 --> 0:22:47.706
<v Speaker 1>this is. This is a true Hollywood story. He goes

0:22:47.786 --> 0:22:51.786
<v Speaker 1>from a kid working the griddle at his dad's Greek

0:22:51.906 --> 0:22:56.466
<v Speaker 1>diner in I want to say, like Irvine, California, to

0:22:56.546 --> 0:23:00.346
<v Speaker 1>being a soap opera star in the eighties on General Hospital,

0:23:00.786 --> 0:23:04.386
<v Speaker 1>to then going to full House, to then a movie

0:23:04.426 --> 0:23:07.946
<v Speaker 1>career to then er and all the way in between.

0:23:07.986 --> 0:23:12.546
<v Speaker 1>He's got stories about hanging with Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra,

0:23:13.106 --> 0:23:16.466
<v Speaker 1>and his relationship with Saggot and Dave Coolier and the

0:23:16.546 --> 0:23:20.626
<v Speaker 1>Olsen twins, and then there's some really like honest and

0:23:20.706 --> 0:23:24.226
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable stuff about marrying a woman who at the time

0:23:24.586 --> 0:23:27.386
<v Speaker 1>was a model, and then after he married her went

0:23:27.386 --> 0:23:30.306
<v Speaker 1>on to be the swimsuit Model of the Year Starr

0:23:30.306 --> 0:23:33.586
<v Speaker 1>in the X Men movies and had a giant, giant

0:23:33.626 --> 0:23:36.386
<v Speaker 1>career while his career kind of the took to the

0:23:36.426 --> 0:23:38.346
<v Speaker 1>back burner. And I thought Stamos in this book is

0:23:38.386 --> 0:23:41.586
<v Speaker 1>incredibly He's vulnerable and basically says she emasculated him and

0:23:41.666 --> 0:23:44.146
<v Speaker 1>her career was such a force in his world that

0:23:44.346 --> 0:23:47.306
<v Speaker 1>you know he couldn't live with it. And then he

0:23:47.466 --> 0:23:50.466
<v Speaker 1>goes into what he discovered on her and how do

0:23:50.506 --> 0:23:53.386
<v Speaker 1>you lift yourself back up? But like, great stuff about

0:23:53.626 --> 0:23:56.306
<v Speaker 1>him and his father's relationship, great stuff about him and

0:23:56.386 --> 0:23:59.866
<v Speaker 1>Saggot's relationship. I gotta tell you, I didn't expect to

0:23:59.866 --> 0:24:02.666
<v Speaker 1>be crying at the end of a John Stamos memoir,

0:24:03.266 --> 0:24:06.066
<v Speaker 1>but that is my recommendation to all of you. Stamos

0:24:06.066 --> 0:24:07.826
<v Speaker 1>is new. I don't even have the name of it. Aaron,

0:24:07.866 --> 0:24:09.426
<v Speaker 1>do you have the name out there, because I'd like

0:24:09.466 --> 0:24:10.266
<v Speaker 1>to pass it along.

0:24:10.946 --> 0:24:13.666
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. His memoir is called if you would have told me.

0:24:14.306 --> 0:24:16.706
<v Speaker 1>If you would have told me, it's fantastic. So everyone,

0:24:17.066 --> 0:24:19.226
<v Speaker 1>I promise you will not be disappointed. My favorite book

0:24:19.266 --> 0:24:22.026
<v Speaker 1>of all time is a memoir. It's Andrea Agassi's Open

0:24:23.066 --> 0:24:26.546
<v Speaker 1>I also think Matthew Perry's Last Year Very Appropriate Now

0:24:26.826 --> 0:24:30.106
<v Speaker 1>was incredibly well written and well done and great stories

0:24:30.146 --> 0:24:34.106
<v Speaker 1>and tragic in its own way. Another celebrity memoir I've

0:24:34.146 --> 0:24:35.906
<v Speaker 1>always suggested to people if you want to read a

0:24:35.906 --> 0:24:38.146
<v Speaker 1>good one is The Kid Stays in the Picture, about

0:24:38.226 --> 0:24:41.026
<v Speaker 1>Robert Evans. And then another one that is not as

0:24:41.186 --> 0:24:44.386
<v Speaker 1>well known. Rob Lowe had a really good one about

0:24:44.386 --> 0:24:48.746
<v Speaker 1>a decade ago, and his life is even crazier than anybody.

0:24:48.746 --> 0:24:51.506
<v Speaker 1>It's with what he went through as far as celebrity

0:24:51.506 --> 0:24:54.146
<v Speaker 1>and fame goes. So all that to get to another

0:24:54.266 --> 0:24:57.186
<v Speaker 1>book author, a guest who was on here to talk

0:24:57.186 --> 0:24:59.906
<v Speaker 1>about a very cool project he's doing, but figure we'll

0:24:59.906 --> 0:25:02.706
<v Speaker 1>do a little deeper dive with him. An idol of mine, truly,

0:25:03.226 --> 0:25:11.186
<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick joins us next. He's a hero of mine.

0:25:11.226 --> 0:25:14.706
<v Speaker 1>He's still the top of his game, and he's become

0:25:14.746 --> 0:25:17.066
<v Speaker 1>a friend and a guy that I really really do love.

0:25:17.226 --> 0:25:19.506
<v Speaker 1>Has got a new book out also, it's called The

0:25:19.546 --> 0:25:24.826
<v Speaker 1>Occasionally Accurate Annals of Football. It's with a co author,

0:25:24.986 --> 0:25:27.586
<v Speaker 1>Joel H. Cohen. But the guest on the season with

0:25:27.626 --> 0:25:30.666
<v Speaker 1>Peter Schrigger this week, it is an honor, mister Dan Patrick,

0:25:30.706 --> 0:25:31.586
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the show.

0:25:31.746 --> 0:25:34.986
<v Speaker 5>Are you nervous a little bit? Okay, don't be. You're

0:25:35.106 --> 0:25:39.146
<v Speaker 5>used to being asked questions or now you're doing the asking.

0:25:39.746 --> 0:25:43.586
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's break the fourth wall here. Like when your

0:25:43.586 --> 0:25:45.546
<v Speaker 1>guys first asked me to come on as a guest

0:25:45.546 --> 0:25:48.146
<v Speaker 1>to your show, it was almost like being asked to

0:25:48.186 --> 0:25:50.346
<v Speaker 1>host starting a live or something. I was like, this

0:25:50.386 --> 0:25:53.986
<v Speaker 1>is I've been watching you, listening to you for much

0:25:54.026 --> 0:25:57.026
<v Speaker 1>of my life and also throughout my career, and you'd

0:25:57.026 --> 0:26:00.306
<v Speaker 1>always had everyone else, the Peter Kings and the other sports.

0:26:00.346 --> 0:26:01.466
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I was like, oh, I got the call

0:26:01.546 --> 0:26:03.626
<v Speaker 1>up to the big leagues, and I just never wanted

0:26:03.666 --> 0:26:05.426
<v Speaker 1>to myself when I was on your show. I just

0:26:05.466 --> 0:26:07.226
<v Speaker 1>wanted to always do a he's did enough job where

0:26:07.266 --> 0:26:09.026
<v Speaker 1>I can get asked back. And now I feel like

0:26:09.106 --> 0:26:12.626
<v Speaker 1>Seinfeld that the Today's Tonight's Show with Johnny I would

0:26:12.626 --> 0:26:14.906
<v Speaker 1>get the callback. And I've probably gone on like eleven times,

0:26:14.906 --> 0:26:17.826
<v Speaker 1>so it's really crazy for me to be interviewing you

0:26:17.906 --> 0:26:18.346
<v Speaker 1>right now.

0:26:18.746 --> 0:26:21.026
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know that's the goal to not yourself, but

0:26:21.426 --> 0:26:25.946
<v Speaker 5>hopefully you achieved your goal. But no, I like enthusiasm.

0:26:26.026 --> 0:26:29.066
<v Speaker 5>I like somebody who's different. You did your homework. The

0:26:29.986 --> 0:26:33.146
<v Speaker 5>Good Morning Football is a fun show, and you know

0:26:33.226 --> 0:26:35.706
<v Speaker 5>that's that's what you want. You want guests that get

0:26:35.746 --> 0:26:38.826
<v Speaker 5>your show. They can play along, and you certainly have

0:26:38.946 --> 0:26:40.946
<v Speaker 5>and that's why you know we enjoy having you on

0:26:41.226 --> 0:26:45.426
<v Speaker 5>and Kyle Brandt as well. You know, it's just getting

0:26:45.466 --> 0:26:47.666
<v Speaker 5>fun people on saying interesting things.

0:26:48.146 --> 0:26:51.066
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. So I'm sure you think I just

0:26:51.106 --> 0:26:54.746
<v Speaker 1>grew up watching Sports Center, but I actually before that, Like,

0:26:55.146 --> 0:26:58.146
<v Speaker 1>I don't think people realize that CNN had a powerhouse

0:26:58.146 --> 0:27:01.946
<v Speaker 1>of a sports department and program like I used to

0:27:01.986 --> 0:27:04.146
<v Speaker 1>watch I think it was Nick Charles and one of

0:27:04.146 --> 0:27:05.466
<v Speaker 1>the Cellini brothers who.

0:27:05.386 --> 0:27:07.386
<v Speaker 5>Was at VINCE or whatever it was Vince, but it

0:27:07.426 --> 0:27:08.426
<v Speaker 5>was Fred Hickman and.

0:27:08.506 --> 0:27:11.986
<v Speaker 1>Fred Hickman and Nick Charles, right, and I would watch

0:27:12.026 --> 0:27:14.146
<v Speaker 1>them every night on their CNN show, and then on

0:27:14.186 --> 0:27:16.226
<v Speaker 1>the Sunday nights they would have an NBA show at

0:27:16.266 --> 0:27:19.146
<v Speaker 1>like ten thirty and it was and it had Stephen A.

0:27:19.186 --> 0:27:21.266
<v Speaker 1>Smith on it before, like Steven A. Smith was like

0:27:21.306 --> 0:27:24.826
<v Speaker 1>this national guy. But this is like mid nineties, early nineties,

0:27:24.866 --> 0:27:27.306
<v Speaker 1>and you were the dude in the late eighties early

0:27:27.386 --> 0:27:30.066
<v Speaker 1>nineties on that network that I fell in love with you. Then,

0:27:30.666 --> 0:27:35.506
<v Speaker 1>does the CNN Sports era of sports TV just get

0:27:35.506 --> 0:27:39.066
<v Speaker 1>completely overlooked in an ESPN like you know world that

0:27:39.066 --> 0:27:39.786
<v Speaker 1>we're in right now.

0:27:40.306 --> 0:27:43.466
<v Speaker 5>Yes, And I think that at the time when we

0:27:43.506 --> 0:27:46.546
<v Speaker 5>had CNN Sports, we were a better sports department than

0:27:46.986 --> 0:27:51.426
<v Speaker 5>ESPN was because we had talent. We also had really

0:27:51.506 --> 0:27:55.146
<v Speaker 5>good writers journalists. Because you had to at CNN, not

0:27:55.186 --> 0:27:56.906
<v Speaker 5>to say you didn't have it at ESPN, but I

0:27:56.946 --> 0:27:59.626
<v Speaker 5>don't think that was a priority. I think entertainment was

0:27:59.626 --> 0:28:04.106
<v Speaker 5>a priority there. And when we did our show, Nick

0:28:04.146 --> 0:28:06.666
<v Speaker 5>and Fred were as good as any team who's done it.

0:28:06.746 --> 0:28:07.106
<v Speaker 3>Awesome.

0:28:07.146 --> 0:28:08.546
<v Speaker 1>What was the show called? Do you remember what it

0:28:08.586 --> 0:28:08.986
<v Speaker 1>was called?

0:28:09.186 --> 0:28:10.626
<v Speaker 3>Just CN in Sports Tonight.

0:28:10.706 --> 0:28:12.266
<v Speaker 1>To be in Sports Tonight, and I was always like

0:28:12.306 --> 0:28:15.226
<v Speaker 1>Sports Center or CNN Sports Tonight, and then CNN Sports Tonight.

0:28:15.266 --> 0:28:16.066
<v Speaker 1>We never talked about.

0:28:15.866 --> 0:28:17.626
<v Speaker 5>Anymore, no, And there were a lot of there's a

0:28:17.666 --> 0:28:20.746
<v Speaker 5>lot of talent that came through there, and Dan Hicks,

0:28:20.746 --> 0:28:26.146
<v Speaker 5>Hannah Storm, Vince Cellini, Gary Miller, Dennis Dummler, Nick and Fred.

0:28:27.706 --> 0:28:29.946
<v Speaker 5>Those were the people that were there when I was there,

0:28:30.306 --> 0:28:32.546
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of people behind the scenes went on

0:28:32.586 --> 0:28:35.666
<v Speaker 5>to do great things. The person who started it was

0:28:35.706 --> 0:28:41.786
<v Speaker 5>Bill McPhail, who was the first president of CBS Sports back.

0:28:41.906 --> 0:28:43.786
<v Speaker 5>You know, he put on the you know, the greatest

0:28:43.786 --> 0:28:46.786
<v Speaker 5>game ever played with the Giants and the Cold Cults. Yes,

0:28:47.186 --> 0:28:49.866
<v Speaker 5>and he was there for the first instant replay and

0:28:50.146 --> 0:28:52.746
<v Speaker 5>you know, so he was a legendary figure. His brother

0:28:52.946 --> 0:28:57.226
<v Speaker 5>was the American League president McPhail. His dad, I think

0:28:58.106 --> 0:29:00.586
<v Speaker 5>owned the Yankee. I mean, it was great to talk

0:29:00.666 --> 0:29:03.506
<v Speaker 5>to Bill, and he ran the sports department, and I

0:29:03.586 --> 0:29:06.266
<v Speaker 5>just remember I was there for five years and I

0:29:06.466 --> 0:29:09.426
<v Speaker 5>didn't even have an agent. And what happened was I

0:29:09.466 --> 0:29:12.106
<v Speaker 5>had lost out on a weekend job in Dayton, Ohio.

0:29:12.946 --> 0:29:13.986
<v Speaker 3>I thought I was going to get it.

0:29:14.066 --> 0:29:17.106
<v Speaker 5>They gave it to Ken Kettering, who was a better

0:29:17.146 --> 0:29:20.466
<v Speaker 5>looking guys first time, like the reality hit of Oh

0:29:20.546 --> 0:29:23.546
<v Speaker 5>they may not hire the best guy, but they hired

0:29:23.586 --> 0:29:27.346
<v Speaker 5>the best looking guy, and he was. He even thought

0:29:27.386 --> 0:29:29.346
<v Speaker 5>I was going to get the job. So I'm devastated.

0:29:29.666 --> 0:29:31.946
<v Speaker 5>I'm twenty seven. I'm thinking I'm never going to get

0:29:31.986 --> 0:29:35.106
<v Speaker 5>into TV. I was doing radio morning drive radio, and

0:29:35.146 --> 0:29:38.266
<v Speaker 5>I go to Atlanta. A former girlfriend was down there

0:29:38.386 --> 0:29:41.386
<v Speaker 5>and she said, you should come down here. CNN's hiring.

0:29:41.426 --> 0:29:44.466
<v Speaker 5>I go, I couldn't get a job in Dayton, Ohio,

0:29:44.546 --> 0:29:46.346
<v Speaker 5>and now I'm going to get a job at CNN.

0:29:46.626 --> 0:29:48.026
<v Speaker 1>Ted Turner's not hiring me.

0:29:48.146 --> 0:29:49.466
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I go in.

0:29:49.826 --> 0:29:52.986
<v Speaker 5>I bring an audition tape, an audition tape that didn't

0:29:53.026 --> 0:29:54.906
<v Speaker 5>get me the job at Channel two and Date, and

0:29:54.946 --> 0:29:58.066
<v Speaker 5>I thought, okay. So the last day I'm there, I

0:29:58.106 --> 0:30:01.266
<v Speaker 5>don't even know the process. Peter of how to get

0:30:01.306 --> 0:30:05.506
<v Speaker 5>an interview. I have no coaching, know nothing, and I

0:30:05.546 --> 0:30:07.986
<v Speaker 5>walk in and I go to the front desk, just

0:30:07.986 --> 0:30:10.906
<v Speaker 5>like anybody else who could walk in. I said, hey,

0:30:11.026 --> 0:30:15.106
<v Speaker 5>is the person in charge of sports here? And they go, well,

0:30:15.106 --> 0:30:17.026
<v Speaker 5>who are you looking for? I go, I don't know

0:30:17.066 --> 0:30:19.746
<v Speaker 5>who's who's the head of sports? Is incredible and they go,

0:30:20.426 --> 0:30:23.546
<v Speaker 5>hold hold on, yes, I have a gentleman out here

0:30:23.586 --> 0:30:26.986
<v Speaker 5>and he wants somebody, uh in sports, and I believe

0:30:27.026 --> 0:30:31.786
<v Speaker 5>he has a resume TEP and then they go. She goes, uh,

0:30:32.106 --> 0:30:34.146
<v Speaker 5>just leave the tape and somebody will get back to you.

0:30:34.426 --> 0:30:37.586
<v Speaker 5>I go, well, I'm going back home. And then she

0:30:37.586 --> 0:30:41.026
<v Speaker 5>she called back to the sports department, goes, who.

0:30:40.866 --> 0:30:43.106
<v Speaker 1>Is this woman that's this is the light changer. This

0:30:43.146 --> 0:30:43.906
<v Speaker 1>is unbelievable.

0:30:44.026 --> 0:30:46.026
<v Speaker 5>He's going He's going back home. He wants to know

0:30:46.066 --> 0:30:48.786
<v Speaker 5>if somebody can look at it. So they said back,

0:30:48.946 --> 0:30:52.506
<v Speaker 5>she goes, where are you going? Are you driving back home?

0:30:52.626 --> 0:30:52.706
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:30:52.746 --> 0:30:54.626
<v Speaker 5>How far away? I said, I'm going back to Ohio.

0:30:55.026 --> 0:30:57.226
<v Speaker 5>She calls back and says he's going back to Ohio.

0:30:58.386 --> 0:31:01.666
<v Speaker 5>Bill McPhail happened to be from Columbus, Ohio, come on,

0:31:02.626 --> 0:31:05.466
<v Speaker 5>and he said, have him come back because I said, oh,

0:31:05.466 --> 0:31:06.826
<v Speaker 5>I'm going back to Dayton, Ohio.

0:31:07.386 --> 0:31:08.026
<v Speaker 3>I go back.

0:31:08.146 --> 0:31:11.826
<v Speaker 5>I meet him and he puts the tape in and

0:31:11.946 --> 0:31:14.826
<v Speaker 5>he watches three and a half minutes, three and a

0:31:14.826 --> 0:31:17.546
<v Speaker 5>half of five minutes, and then he popped it out

0:31:17.546 --> 0:31:19.106
<v Speaker 5>and he goes, when can you start?

0:31:19.746 --> 0:31:19.906
<v Speaker 2>Dan?

0:31:19.946 --> 0:31:21.706
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to cry. I love this story. I've never

0:31:21.746 --> 0:31:23.946
<v Speaker 1>heard this. Have you told the story anywhere? This is incredible.

0:31:24.506 --> 0:31:30.986
<v Speaker 5>I've mentioned it. But I got hired to do headline sports. Sure,

0:31:31.226 --> 0:31:34.306
<v Speaker 5>I'm making eighteen thousand. I took a ten thousand dollars

0:31:34.386 --> 0:31:37.266
<v Speaker 5>pay cut to go to CNN. But I wanted to

0:31:37.306 --> 0:31:40.026
<v Speaker 5>do sports, and I'm doing it and I'm not even

0:31:40.066 --> 0:31:40.546
<v Speaker 5>on camera.

0:31:40.626 --> 0:31:42.906
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing headline Sports. But I loved it.

0:31:43.026 --> 0:31:45.586
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm editing all the highlights, voicing it, and

0:31:45.626 --> 0:31:48.266
<v Speaker 5>then you you know, get it over to headline News.

0:31:49.066 --> 0:31:53.466
<v Speaker 5>Six months later, Keith Oberman leaves the New York bureau

0:31:53.506 --> 0:31:56.146
<v Speaker 5>at CNN to take a job in Boston, and my

0:31:56.266 --> 0:32:00.666
<v Speaker 5>boss says, have you ever been to New York? I said, oh, yeah, Now,

0:32:00.706 --> 0:32:03.186
<v Speaker 5>I had never been to New York. I'm from a

0:32:03.226 --> 0:32:05.826
<v Speaker 5>small town in Ohio. I've never been to New York.

0:32:06.466 --> 0:32:08.786
<v Speaker 5>And then they go, well, would you be interested in,

0:32:09.226 --> 0:32:12.266
<v Speaker 5>you know, being the New York Bureau reporter, replacing Keith,

0:32:13.186 --> 0:32:18.306
<v Speaker 5>and I said, yeah, I took the job. I went

0:32:18.506 --> 0:32:21.226
<v Speaker 5>and I stayed in the Downtown Athletic Club, which is

0:32:21.226 --> 0:32:24.386
<v Speaker 5>where they met. So I stayed there for three months.

0:32:24.386 --> 0:32:26.426
<v Speaker 5>I was only supposed to stay for a month, but

0:32:26.506 --> 0:32:29.506
<v Speaker 5>I was so nervous that I didn't. I didn't have

0:32:29.626 --> 0:32:32.586
<v Speaker 5>enough money to get an apartment in New York, and

0:32:32.866 --> 0:32:34.906
<v Speaker 5>so I said, can I stay a couple extra months?

0:32:34.946 --> 0:32:39.466
<v Speaker 5>And then I did at the DAC, and I remember

0:32:40.186 --> 0:32:42.746
<v Speaker 5>that I finally got an apartment. I made eight hundred

0:32:42.786 --> 0:32:47.306
<v Speaker 5>dollars a month and my apartment was five point fifty.

0:32:48.266 --> 0:32:51.626
<v Speaker 5>So I wasn't really killing it, but I was. I

0:32:51.706 --> 0:32:57.626
<v Speaker 5>was covering New York, Boston, Philly, d C. Any story

0:32:57.666 --> 0:33:00.666
<v Speaker 5>that came up. So I'm covering Larry Bird against the

0:33:00.746 --> 0:33:03.826
<v Speaker 5>Lakers in the NBA Finals. I'm covering Billy Martin with

0:33:03.826 --> 0:33:07.546
<v Speaker 5>the Yankees. I'm there with the eighties World Series with

0:33:07.626 --> 0:33:10.346
<v Speaker 5>Bill Buckner in the met I got to cover so

0:33:10.706 --> 0:33:15.146
<v Speaker 5>many great events just by being up there, and you know,

0:33:15.186 --> 0:33:16.466
<v Speaker 5>it really changed my life.

0:33:16.506 --> 0:33:18.466
<v Speaker 3>And I met my wife at CNN.

0:33:18.906 --> 0:33:19.826
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible.

0:33:20.106 --> 0:33:25.226
<v Speaker 5>And I don't encourage people to lie, but you don't

0:33:25.226 --> 0:33:26.466
<v Speaker 5>always have to tell the truth.

0:33:26.506 --> 0:33:27.066
<v Speaker 3>How about that?

0:33:27.426 --> 0:33:29.666
<v Speaker 1>And I do you think there's a message there though,

0:33:29.706 --> 0:33:33.826
<v Speaker 1>because you went to Dayton, you know, I went to Emery,

0:33:33.866 --> 0:33:36.026
<v Speaker 1>which is not exactly a hotbed for sports. I think

0:33:36.026 --> 0:33:38.826
<v Speaker 1>there's an impression amongst young people in our industry that

0:33:38.866 --> 0:33:41.626
<v Speaker 1>you have to go to Syracuse or Northwestern or USC

0:33:41.826 --> 0:33:45.026
<v Speaker 1>and there's a path. There isn't a path. You have

0:33:45.146 --> 0:33:48.586
<v Speaker 1>to be cunning. You've got to be flexible. You got

0:33:48.586 --> 0:33:50.866
<v Speaker 1>to be willing to in my case right for any

0:33:50.946 --> 0:33:52.866
<v Speaker 1>blog that would have you, and in your case move

0:33:52.946 --> 0:33:56.066
<v Speaker 1>to any city. You have all these students now at

0:33:56.066 --> 0:33:58.306
<v Speaker 1>the Full Sell like, what is your message to them

0:33:58.346 --> 0:33:59.666
<v Speaker 1>as far as getting into the.

0:33:59.666 --> 0:34:02.586
<v Speaker 5>Door, Well, what I wanted to do at Full Sale

0:34:02.706 --> 0:34:05.386
<v Speaker 5>University and they have the Dan Patrick School to sportscasting.

0:34:05.466 --> 0:34:09.306
<v Speaker 5>Your degree is in sports. Your bachelor's degree is sportscasting.

0:34:09.906 --> 0:34:12.466
<v Speaker 5>We want you to understand, you know how tough. This

0:34:12.706 --> 0:34:14.746
<v Speaker 5>is what you need to know. We want to give

0:34:14.786 --> 0:34:17.066
<v Speaker 5>you the answers before the test. But as I tell

0:34:17.106 --> 0:34:19.866
<v Speaker 5>all these students, I can get you over the wall.

0:34:20.666 --> 0:34:22.786
<v Speaker 5>Are you running when you get over? Are you walking?

0:34:22.826 --> 0:34:25.906
<v Speaker 5>Are you crawling? Because this is a. It's the most

0:34:25.906 --> 0:34:29.346
<v Speaker 5>competitive job field in America in my opinion, because everybody

0:34:29.386 --> 0:34:31.546
<v Speaker 5>thinks they can do it. Like they all sit there

0:34:31.546 --> 0:34:33.986
<v Speaker 5>and go I could do I could talk sports, Okay,

0:34:34.346 --> 0:34:37.586
<v Speaker 5>you can. What do you do after fifteen minutes when

0:34:37.586 --> 0:34:40.066
<v Speaker 5>you run out of things to say? But I tell

0:34:40.106 --> 0:34:42.386
<v Speaker 5>my students, we're going to get you ready. But it's

0:34:42.506 --> 0:34:45.826
<v Speaker 5>up to you when you go in there being professional

0:34:46.226 --> 0:34:49.106
<v Speaker 5>understanding ins and outs. You may not be on camera,

0:34:49.186 --> 0:34:51.986
<v Speaker 5>there's nothing wrong with, you know, being behind the scenes.

0:34:52.426 --> 0:34:54.746
<v Speaker 5>And I brought Gus Ramsey with me, who worked with

0:34:54.826 --> 0:34:58.706
<v Speaker 5>me at ESPN for over twenty years, and we hire

0:34:58.786 --> 0:35:01.306
<v Speaker 5>people who have been in the business. You get hands

0:35:01.346 --> 0:35:05.626
<v Speaker 5>on experience. There there is no faculty that is better

0:35:05.666 --> 0:35:07.666
<v Speaker 5>and has more experien pence than mine because we have

0:35:07.706 --> 0:35:11.266
<v Speaker 5>over two hundred factor in my experience. Then all the

0:35:11.266 --> 0:35:15.426
<v Speaker 5>people I worked with at ESPN assignment desk, reporters, producers,

0:35:15.986 --> 0:35:17.986
<v Speaker 5>you're hearing it from the people who actually did it.

0:35:18.346 --> 0:35:20.826
<v Speaker 5>And that's what I wanted them to understand. This is

0:35:20.866 --> 0:35:23.746
<v Speaker 5>the business. If you're lucky, this can be your job.

0:35:24.146 --> 0:35:27.786
<v Speaker 5>But there's a your full time your first job is

0:35:27.906 --> 0:35:31.066
<v Speaker 5>being a student at full sale university because there's no

0:35:31.146 --> 0:35:34.506
<v Speaker 5>frat parties, there's you know, it's it's not socials, it's

0:35:34.546 --> 0:35:35.026
<v Speaker 5>none of that.

0:35:35.506 --> 0:35:36.426
<v Speaker 3>You're showing up.

0:35:36.786 --> 0:35:39.586
<v Speaker 5>This is your first job, and you know it gives

0:35:39.626 --> 0:35:43.226
<v Speaker 5>them that dosa reality of how tough this is going

0:35:43.266 --> 0:35:46.026
<v Speaker 5>to be. And our job is to make it look easy.

0:35:46.666 --> 0:35:48.746
<v Speaker 5>That's why, like I wanted to do it. When I

0:35:48.786 --> 0:35:51.186
<v Speaker 5>saw Bob Constance, I go, yeah, that looks easy.

0:35:51.706 --> 0:35:52.026
<v Speaker 3>It's not.

0:35:52.826 --> 0:35:55.386
<v Speaker 5>It's those who can do it really well make it

0:35:55.426 --> 0:35:57.586
<v Speaker 5>look easy and fun. You can never have a bad

0:35:57.666 --> 0:35:59.466
<v Speaker 5>day at Sports Center. No one would let you have

0:35:59.506 --> 0:36:01.826
<v Speaker 5>a bad day, because how can you have a bad day.

0:36:01.866 --> 0:36:04.586
<v Speaker 5>You're doing Sports Center. But you can have a day.

0:36:05.026 --> 0:36:08.186
<v Speaker 5>It's just you can't let anybody know because that was

0:36:08.226 --> 0:36:10.506
<v Speaker 5>the dream job years ago.

0:36:10.866 --> 0:36:14.586
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely so much so that there was an ESPN reality

0:36:14.626 --> 0:36:17.626
<v Speaker 1>show called ESPN Dream Job And guess who stood online

0:36:18.946 --> 0:36:21.746
<v Speaker 1>with two hundred people in front of the ESPN Sportszone

0:36:21.746 --> 0:36:26.346
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta in Buckhead and guess who. My first break was.

0:36:26.386 --> 0:36:29.146
<v Speaker 1>I wait in that line and I was wearing a

0:36:29.186 --> 0:36:31.466
<v Speaker 1>shirt that said that said I just want to meet

0:36:31.506 --> 0:36:34.706
<v Speaker 1>Bill Clement And it was the most random, like ESPN

0:36:34.786 --> 0:36:39.386
<v Speaker 1>person I could think of, the hockey guy I get

0:36:39.386 --> 0:36:42.346
<v Speaker 1>in there, I'd never done any broadcasting. They give me

0:36:42.386 --> 0:36:44.506
<v Speaker 1>a quiz and I got the quiz all right. I

0:36:44.546 --> 0:36:46.346
<v Speaker 1>got ten out of ten. And then I got pulled

0:36:46.386 --> 0:36:50.066
<v Speaker 1>aside by Howie Schwab and Al Jaffey and Howie Schwab

0:36:50.106 --> 0:36:52.266
<v Speaker 1>was the reacher and they said, what do you want

0:36:52.266 --> 0:36:54.746
<v Speaker 1>to do? I said, I'll do this show, sure, but

0:36:55.146 --> 0:36:57.066
<v Speaker 1>all I want to do is write for ESPN dot com.

0:36:57.106 --> 0:36:59.506
<v Speaker 1>I'm a huge Bill Simmons fan. I love Ralph Wilie,

0:36:59.626 --> 0:37:03.066
<v Speaker 1>I love the writing. I loved reading The Hunter s

0:37:03.066 --> 0:37:05.386
<v Speaker 1>Thompson at the time I was writing for ESPN dot com,

0:37:05.386 --> 0:37:07.386
<v Speaker 1>like I love it. I just want to chance to write.

0:37:07.506 --> 0:37:10.186
<v Speaker 1>And then they led me to a different department who

0:37:10.186 --> 0:37:12.826
<v Speaker 1>were the editors on the website, and it all happened

0:37:12.866 --> 0:37:15.706
<v Speaker 1>because I wore a terrible T shirt but stood out

0:37:15.946 --> 0:37:18.386
<v Speaker 1>and waited in that line. And that was the job

0:37:18.386 --> 0:37:21.746
<v Speaker 1>for me. Dream job for you. You go from CNN,

0:37:22.066 --> 0:37:25.266
<v Speaker 1>then you get to ESPN. I have to imagine you

0:37:25.266 --> 0:37:28.586
<v Speaker 1>go to Bristol. It's not a huge, bustling metropolis, it's

0:37:28.626 --> 0:37:30.626
<v Speaker 1>a campus. I have to imagine there's a lot of ego,

0:37:30.786 --> 0:37:33.626
<v Speaker 1>a lot of testosterone. What's the pecan order? When Dan

0:37:33.666 --> 0:37:36.586
<v Speaker 1>Patrick shows up to Bristol, Connecticut in the late eighties

0:37:36.626 --> 0:37:37.306
<v Speaker 1>early nineties.

0:37:37.586 --> 0:37:40.786
<v Speaker 5>I got there late eighties, March of eighty nine, okay,

0:37:41.066 --> 0:37:46.826
<v Speaker 5>and Chris Berman was he was basically their Mount Rushmore.

0:37:47.066 --> 0:37:47.266
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:37:47.346 --> 0:37:50.506
<v Speaker 5>I mean it was Chris and he probably deserved two

0:37:50.786 --> 0:37:54.066
<v Speaker 5>heads up there on Mount Rushmore, Tommy's and Bob Lee

0:37:54.786 --> 0:37:58.226
<v Speaker 5>and I got there and look, I thought what we

0:37:58.266 --> 0:38:00.946
<v Speaker 5>did at CNN was better than what they did. So

0:38:00.986 --> 0:38:03.466
<v Speaker 5>I didn't go in there intimidated from the standpoint of

0:38:03.986 --> 0:38:06.906
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if I'm on equal footing. Now people

0:38:06.906 --> 0:38:09.946
<v Speaker 5>have to understand where Chris Berman was back then. I

0:38:09.946 --> 0:38:12.346
<v Speaker 5>mean without Chris you don't have a ESPN, you just

0:38:12.666 --> 0:38:16.146
<v Speaker 5>and Bob and Tom you just don't. Because they were

0:38:16.186 --> 0:38:18.586
<v Speaker 5>doing it, we didn't, you know, they probably didn't know

0:38:18.586 --> 0:38:21.906
<v Speaker 5>who's watching, how many people, like, what place they had

0:38:21.946 --> 0:38:22.986
<v Speaker 5>in somebody's life.

0:38:23.906 --> 0:38:28.546
<v Speaker 3>But I got there. They made me observe for three months.

0:38:28.746 --> 0:38:31.946
<v Speaker 1>You didn't get on air until three three months watching.

0:38:31.666 --> 0:38:34.626
<v Speaker 3>Them, and I would and I kept saying, I can

0:38:34.666 --> 0:38:36.466
<v Speaker 3>do this. I know what I don't I've done it before.

0:38:36.546 --> 0:38:37.066
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:38:37.106 --> 0:38:40.506
<v Speaker 5>And what happened was I would come in and Chris

0:38:40.506 --> 0:38:42.666
<v Speaker 5>Berman would call me the Charlotte observer.

0:38:42.826 --> 0:38:46.026
<v Speaker 3>He'd go, it's this Charlotte observer.

0:38:46.626 --> 0:38:48.826
<v Speaker 5>And all I did is I would sit there from

0:38:48.986 --> 0:38:53.026
<v Speaker 5>like five in the afternoon until midnight watching them put

0:38:53.066 --> 0:38:57.546
<v Speaker 5>together you know, Sports Center. They had everybody wrote their

0:38:57.586 --> 0:39:00.506
<v Speaker 5>own scripts. And in the right corner, so we had

0:39:00.666 --> 0:39:03.986
<v Speaker 5>this wall of monitors, so all these games are up

0:39:04.026 --> 0:39:07.026
<v Speaker 5>there in the in the bottom right corner was porn.

0:39:08.146 --> 0:39:10.986
<v Speaker 5>So Porn was playing after management.

0:39:11.506 --> 0:39:12.866
<v Speaker 1>Spice Network just on.

0:39:13.306 --> 0:39:17.506
<v Speaker 5>He scrambled, and I just remembered it was right there

0:39:17.546 --> 0:39:19.586
<v Speaker 5>in the right corner. All these games are going on

0:39:19.666 --> 0:39:22.546
<v Speaker 5>and porn is in, you know, the right, bottom right

0:39:22.546 --> 0:39:26.106
<v Speaker 5>corner of it. And I go, I'm not at CNN anymore.

0:39:27.946 --> 0:39:31.346
<v Speaker 5>And I was going to do my first show, and

0:39:32.026 --> 0:39:33.226
<v Speaker 5>I don't know who was going.

0:39:33.146 --> 0:39:33.906
<v Speaker 3>To anchor with me.

0:39:34.106 --> 0:39:35.466
<v Speaker 1>Who's anchoring with you?

0:39:35.586 --> 0:39:40.226
<v Speaker 5>Chris Berman had just done the eleven o'clock. He stayed

0:39:40.266 --> 0:39:44.786
<v Speaker 5>and said, I'm doing your first show. Hell yes, And

0:39:44.866 --> 0:39:49.466
<v Speaker 5>I was so honored by that because he stayed. And

0:39:50.546 --> 0:39:52.906
<v Speaker 5>I just remember he was so loud when we got

0:39:52.946 --> 0:39:56.106
<v Speaker 5>on the air, and I even said that, I go, man,

0:39:56.146 --> 0:39:59.386
<v Speaker 5>you're loud, and he goes, you can always go back

0:39:59.426 --> 0:40:03.426
<v Speaker 5>to CNN, and I was like, all right, let's go.

0:40:03.786 --> 0:40:04.826
<v Speaker 3>I'm all in with this.

0:40:05.306 --> 0:40:08.346
<v Speaker 5>But the fact that Chris and I never forgot that,

0:40:08.466 --> 0:40:11.466
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was a wonderful gesture. And then soon

0:40:11.506 --> 0:40:13.786
<v Speaker 5>after that I started doing the eleven o'clock with Bob

0:40:13.866 --> 0:40:18.906
<v Speaker 5>Lee and stayed doing the eleven for fifteen years, and

0:40:18.946 --> 0:40:22.466
<v Speaker 5>then decided that I wanted better hours to be a

0:40:22.506 --> 0:40:26.226
<v Speaker 5>better father and husband and did the six o'clock Sports

0:40:26.226 --> 0:40:27.386
<v Speaker 5>Center the last three years.

0:40:27.746 --> 0:40:30.426
<v Speaker 1>A quick anecdote, and tell me if this lines up

0:40:30.466 --> 0:40:33.266
<v Speaker 1>with but he was larger than life at ESPN, and

0:40:33.306 --> 0:40:35.186
<v Speaker 1>he's still larger than life. We're at the Super Bowl

0:40:35.226 --> 0:40:37.826
<v Speaker 1>two years ago in LA and Kyle Brant and I

0:40:37.946 --> 0:40:42.386
<v Speaker 1>are like at SOFI Stadium on the outside campus, like

0:40:42.546 --> 0:40:45.106
<v Speaker 1>outside the stadium. Everyone's going into the stadium. We're on

0:40:45.146 --> 0:40:48.346
<v Speaker 1>the outside and a golf cart pulls by it and

0:40:48.346 --> 0:40:51.106
<v Speaker 1>this guy's wearing a I mean, and again my memory

0:40:51.186 --> 0:40:53.266
<v Speaker 1>might make it even like it's like a tall tail,

0:40:53.386 --> 0:40:56.506
<v Speaker 1>like it's Paul bunnyan or something, but a giant straw

0:40:56.626 --> 0:41:00.106
<v Speaker 1>hat in a golf cart, and I just had to

0:41:00.146 --> 0:41:04.346
<v Speaker 1>I'm like Chris Berman, and without even hesitation, he tips

0:41:04.386 --> 0:41:06.786
<v Speaker 1>the cap and just bows at us.

0:41:07.786 --> 0:41:07.986
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:41:08.906 --> 0:41:11.426
<v Speaker 1>And then I've been in airports with him. You could

0:41:11.426 --> 0:41:15.866
<v Speaker 1>have Leo DiCaprio, you could have you could have Margot Robbie.

0:41:16.186 --> 0:41:18.786
<v Speaker 1>The line of people who line up to say hello

0:41:18.826 --> 0:41:21.426
<v Speaker 1>to Chris Berman is unlike anything I've ever seen, and

0:41:21.466 --> 0:41:22.546
<v Speaker 1>he's larger than life.

0:41:23.106 --> 0:41:27.106
<v Speaker 5>He's probably the first guy who connected with people so

0:41:27.306 --> 0:41:31.666
<v Speaker 5>personally because it was every night. And think about when

0:41:31.666 --> 0:41:34.666
<v Speaker 5>you watch TV at night, are you in somebody's bedroom,

0:41:34.706 --> 0:41:39.066
<v Speaker 5>their living room. I mean there is a shared intimacy

0:41:39.226 --> 0:41:42.346
<v Speaker 5>to that that he's kind of in my room with me.

0:41:42.426 --> 0:41:44.786
<v Speaker 5>He's taught you know, people would say they felt like

0:41:44.826 --> 0:41:47.666
<v Speaker 5>they knew me because I was always in their house.

0:41:47.946 --> 0:41:50.826
<v Speaker 5>They could hear my voice, and that's the power of ESPN.

0:41:50.906 --> 0:41:54.786
<v Speaker 5>But Chris is the first guy nationally who was able,

0:41:54.866 --> 0:41:58.146
<v Speaker 5>I think, to connect with people every single night, and

0:41:58.226 --> 0:42:00.786
<v Speaker 5>you know, that made him endearing to so many people.

0:42:01.826 --> 0:42:04.106
<v Speaker 1>So then eventually you and Olberman link up, and I

0:42:04.146 --> 0:42:07.346
<v Speaker 1>will tell you we called it the Big Show, and

0:42:08.306 --> 0:42:11.306
<v Speaker 1>it felt like rock and roll. Honestly, that these two

0:42:11.386 --> 0:42:13.746
<v Speaker 1>guys were, you know, the ones in the back of

0:42:13.786 --> 0:42:16.426
<v Speaker 1>the class while everyone's in a suit and tie. It

0:42:16.466 --> 0:42:19.706
<v Speaker 1>was the two of you guys making little underhanded comments.

0:42:19.906 --> 0:42:22.506
<v Speaker 1>You had inside jokes you had jokes with the viewers,

0:42:23.146 --> 0:42:24.786
<v Speaker 1>and you guys just hit it off in such a

0:42:24.786 --> 0:42:27.706
<v Speaker 1>way that at that time in my life, I'll just

0:42:27.786 --> 0:42:30.466
<v Speaker 1>you know, everything's personal with me because I'm an egomaniac,

0:42:30.506 --> 0:42:33.026
<v Speaker 1>So I bring it back to me. It was Saturday

0:42:33.066 --> 0:42:35.666
<v Speaker 1>Night Live, and it was the era of Sandler and

0:42:35.746 --> 0:42:39.346
<v Speaker 1>Myers and Farley and Spade and those guys, and then

0:42:39.386 --> 0:42:41.506
<v Speaker 1>it was you guys on Sunday nights, and it was

0:42:41.546 --> 0:42:43.706
<v Speaker 1>like Saturday Night and Sunday Night. Those were my dudes.

0:42:44.546 --> 0:42:45.986
<v Speaker 1>Did it feel that way?

0:42:46.386 --> 0:42:46.426
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:42:46.586 --> 0:42:48.546
<v Speaker 1>When you were doing it, did you realize the impact

0:42:48.586 --> 0:42:50.066
<v Speaker 1>you were making on an entire generation?

0:42:50.786 --> 0:42:54.866
<v Speaker 5>We later we did. But you have to understand. Management

0:42:54.906 --> 0:42:58.266
<v Speaker 5>did not encourage us. They didn't want us to call

0:42:58.306 --> 0:43:02.146
<v Speaker 5>it the Big Show. They were worried, and you know,

0:43:02.426 --> 0:43:04.866
<v Speaker 5>a former boss of mine said, we don't want another Berman.

0:43:04.986 --> 0:43:06.266
<v Speaker 3>We don't want somebody.

0:43:05.906 --> 0:43:08.666
<v Speaker 5>Who we can control larger than the brand. Yes, and

0:43:08.706 --> 0:43:11.266
<v Speaker 5>they were worried about that, and I understand that. But

0:43:12.586 --> 0:43:15.226
<v Speaker 5>Keith and I we just sort of said, Okay, we

0:43:15.306 --> 0:43:17.306
<v Speaker 5>have to do this in a clandestine way.

0:43:17.986 --> 0:43:20.546
<v Speaker 3>That's why we had inside jokes. That's why it was sneaky.

0:43:20.826 --> 0:43:23.226
<v Speaker 5>It was never overt and I think it made for

0:43:23.266 --> 0:43:25.626
<v Speaker 5>a better show. It's like, you know when I used

0:43:25.626 --> 0:43:28.386
<v Speaker 5>to listen to Howard Stern, when you couldn't say certain

0:43:28.426 --> 0:43:31.586
<v Speaker 5>words or you couldn't show something, it made it even

0:43:31.666 --> 0:43:34.306
<v Speaker 5>more impactful. It's like, oh my god, now I can

0:43:34.386 --> 0:43:39.546
<v Speaker 5>visualize that we weren't allowed to be in front of

0:43:39.586 --> 0:43:42.666
<v Speaker 5>the product. It was you had to be sort of

0:43:42.786 --> 0:43:46.346
<v Speaker 5>pick your spots have fun with it. But Keith was

0:43:46.386 --> 0:43:49.986
<v Speaker 5>such a wonderful team player that he wanted to make

0:43:50.026 --> 0:43:54.666
<v Speaker 5>a great show every single night, every single night. And

0:43:54.706 --> 0:43:57.426
<v Speaker 5>we never took it for granted. You never mailed anything in.

0:43:57.506 --> 0:44:00.586
<v Speaker 5>It was every night and you wanted to entertain each

0:44:00.586 --> 0:44:03.666
<v Speaker 5>other that we never knew what you were going to write.

0:44:03.706 --> 0:44:05.946
<v Speaker 5>I never looked at his scripts, he never looked at mine.

0:44:06.546 --> 0:44:09.466
<v Speaker 5>Probably sixty to seventy percent of the show was AdLib

0:44:10.186 --> 0:44:14.826
<v Speaker 5>and we only had three camera people and a floor director,

0:44:14.866 --> 0:44:16.586
<v Speaker 5>and you were trying to entertain them, and we thought

0:44:16.586 --> 0:44:19.466
<v Speaker 5>if we made them laugh, then maybe the people who

0:44:19.506 --> 0:44:24.106
<v Speaker 5>were watching. But we never really knew the impact until

0:44:24.146 --> 0:44:26.346
<v Speaker 5>a little bit later on, and then Keith was only

0:44:26.386 --> 0:44:28.106
<v Speaker 5>there for I think five years.

0:44:28.506 --> 0:44:31.506
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it was it was magic.

0:44:31.986 --> 0:44:36.306
<v Speaker 5>We never ever ever discussed why it works or let's

0:44:36.386 --> 0:44:40.266
<v Speaker 5>change something. It never we would type our scripts. Keith

0:44:40.306 --> 0:44:42.906
<v Speaker 5>would usually type his in forty five minutes, it would

0:44:42.906 --> 0:44:46.186
<v Speaker 5>take me three hours, and then we would get together.

0:44:47.146 --> 0:44:49.106
<v Speaker 5>They didn't want to they didn't want to pay for

0:44:49.146 --> 0:44:51.346
<v Speaker 5>a makeup artist, so we had to put our own

0:44:51.386 --> 0:44:54.306
<v Speaker 5>makeup on in the bathroom at ten thirty at night,

0:44:54.866 --> 0:44:58.106
<v Speaker 5>and then we'd be on the air at eleven and

0:44:58.146 --> 0:45:00.226
<v Speaker 5>then we go our separate ways. But when we got

0:45:00.266 --> 0:45:04.106
<v Speaker 5>to ESPN, we were doing a show. But that was

0:45:04.186 --> 0:45:07.826
<v Speaker 5>really the only interaction that we had. But I liked

0:45:07.826 --> 0:45:10.466
<v Speaker 5>it because we didn't waste things.

0:45:11.066 --> 0:45:12.346
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, we.

0:45:12.146 --> 0:45:13.946
<v Speaker 1>Meet Kyle Bran, I do the same thing. We don't

0:45:13.986 --> 0:45:15.386
<v Speaker 1>ever reveal. I didn't even know what he's doing is

0:45:15.466 --> 0:45:17.706
<v Speaker 1>Halloween today, Like we don't ever reveal anything. Yeah, for

0:45:17.706 --> 0:45:19.306
<v Speaker 1>the air, say for the air, I.

0:45:19.346 --> 0:45:22.266
<v Speaker 5>Like the surprise element of it. But it was live,

0:45:22.946 --> 0:45:26.306
<v Speaker 5>and there's something about doing live. But also we would

0:45:26.346 --> 0:45:28.826
<v Speaker 5>do the highlights and the fact that we were on

0:45:28.906 --> 0:45:31.466
<v Speaker 5>at eleven o'clock at night. Let's say a game ended

0:45:31.666 --> 0:45:34.586
<v Speaker 5>at eleven o'clock or eleven oh seven. They'd have to

0:45:34.706 --> 0:45:36.786
<v Speaker 5>edit the highlights and then bring them in. We hadn't

0:45:36.786 --> 0:45:39.466
<v Speaker 5>seen them sure, so you're getting a shot sheet. Yeah,

0:45:39.506 --> 0:45:41.306
<v Speaker 5>they give me a shot sheet, they bring it in.

0:45:41.386 --> 0:45:43.306
<v Speaker 5>I'd be I can't tell you the number of times

0:45:43.346 --> 0:45:45.986
<v Speaker 5>I'd be on camera. So I'd be reading the prompter

0:45:46.066 --> 0:45:49.946
<v Speaker 5>here and I go and Cleveland hosting Milwaukee, and Kenny

0:45:49.986 --> 0:45:53.666
<v Speaker 5>Lofton is having an incredible streak. You know, he's nineteen

0:45:54.186 --> 0:45:56.826
<v Speaker 5>games in a row. I'm reaching out over here off

0:45:56.826 --> 0:46:00.506
<v Speaker 5>camera to get and let's go. Let's go to Cleveland,

0:46:00.706 --> 0:46:04.106
<v Speaker 5>you know, Municipal Stadium, boom, And then I looked down

0:46:04.186 --> 0:46:07.786
<v Speaker 5>at the shotsheet and then we start the highlights. Yeah,

0:46:07.826 --> 0:46:11.226
<v Speaker 5>and just the rush that you would have such a

0:46:11.306 --> 0:46:17.506
<v Speaker 5>though it's live and there'd be names on there, spelling henmanship,

0:46:17.826 --> 0:46:20.666
<v Speaker 5>and you'd just go, you know what. And that's why

0:46:20.706 --> 0:46:24.426
<v Speaker 5>we came up with catchphrases because it allowed you to

0:46:24.546 --> 0:46:28.826
<v Speaker 5>cheat a little bit. So if there was Greg Maddox tomorrow,

0:46:29.186 --> 0:46:31.786
<v Speaker 5>you know, three to one to Mark McGuire gone, and

0:46:31.826 --> 0:46:34.186
<v Speaker 5>then I would pause because then I could look on

0:46:34.226 --> 0:46:38.066
<v Speaker 5>the shot sheet and go, McGuire's thirty second of the year.

0:46:38.346 --> 0:46:41.026
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's got ninety four RBIs and the Cardinals

0:46:41.106 --> 0:46:44.426
<v Speaker 5>leave five three. So it allowed us to kind of

0:46:44.546 --> 0:46:47.306
<v Speaker 5>gather and then you could look at the shot sheet

0:46:47.386 --> 0:46:49.466
<v Speaker 5>and it just kind of helped. And then after a

0:46:49.466 --> 0:46:53.226
<v Speaker 5>while we sort of mocked ourselves with let's come up

0:46:53.266 --> 0:46:57.586
<v Speaker 5>with catchphrases that are so stupid because of them, it

0:46:57.706 --> 0:47:01.226
<v Speaker 5>was cow Hide joy Ride and I remember, okay, it

0:47:01.346 --> 0:47:03.226
<v Speaker 5>was a home run, and I was like, that's a

0:47:03.506 --> 0:47:07.386
<v Speaker 5>cow hide joy ride. And I remember keep going cal

0:47:07.746 --> 0:47:09.306
<v Speaker 5>like he even said it on the air. It's like,

0:47:09.626 --> 0:47:14.506
<v Speaker 5>cal height, what what? And I just I got the

0:47:14.506 --> 0:47:20.106
<v Speaker 5>biggest kick out of We wanted to make each other think, laugh,

0:47:20.946 --> 0:47:23.426
<v Speaker 5>you know, whatever emotion you could get out of somebody.

0:47:23.626 --> 0:47:25.986
<v Speaker 5>If it was a serious story, you know you wanted

0:47:26.626 --> 0:47:30.466
<v Speaker 5>you wanted that. But you know it worked. And I

0:47:30.466 --> 0:47:32.946
<v Speaker 5>remember when he left, I said, you'll never have this again.

0:47:33.026 --> 0:47:35.386
<v Speaker 5>He had gotten I think he had gotten bored. I

0:47:35.386 --> 0:47:38.066
<v Speaker 5>think he wanted a different lifestyle and he went to

0:47:38.146 --> 0:47:41.026
<v Speaker 5>Fox and I just said, you'll never get this ever again.

0:47:41.466 --> 0:47:44.906
<v Speaker 5>And you know he realized that soon after, and I

0:47:44.986 --> 0:47:48.106
<v Speaker 5>never got it back again. I had wonderful people to

0:47:48.226 --> 0:47:53.146
<v Speaker 5>anchor with, but there was nothing like that with anybody else,

0:47:53.266 --> 0:47:55.986
<v Speaker 5>just because man, when you're on that wire and there's

0:47:56.026 --> 0:47:58.866
<v Speaker 5>no net and you know you can trust that person,

0:47:59.586 --> 0:48:03.066
<v Speaker 5>you know you really build a bond, and we certainly

0:48:03.066 --> 0:48:03.346
<v Speaker 5>had that.

0:48:03.906 --> 0:48:08.026
<v Speaker 1>It's special, But then you guys crossed into like beyond

0:48:08.306 --> 0:48:10.626
<v Speaker 1>just Sports Center here, I mean the commercials which you

0:48:10.666 --> 0:48:13.306
<v Speaker 1>guys dubbed this is Sports Center. But then I think

0:48:13.346 --> 0:48:16.986
<v Speaker 1>a major moment for like back now every rapper has

0:48:17.106 --> 0:48:20.106
<v Speaker 1>athletes in their videos, and every musician is dating and

0:48:20.186 --> 0:48:22.506
<v Speaker 1>a half. It wasn't necessarily the case when you guys

0:48:22.506 --> 0:48:24.306
<v Speaker 1>were on that Hooty and the Blowfish video. That was

0:48:24.386 --> 0:48:26.546
<v Speaker 1>major for everyone, Like that was major. Can you take

0:48:26.626 --> 0:48:29.106
<v Speaker 1>us through the impetus and the genesis of that story.

0:48:29.466 --> 0:48:32.066
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll go back to the this is Sports Center

0:48:32.106 --> 0:48:36.586
<v Speaker 5>ad campaign because that started after Keith and I got

0:48:36.906 --> 0:48:42.306
<v Speaker 5>scolded for basically trying to secede.

0:48:41.826 --> 0:48:42.506
<v Speaker 3>From the union.

0:48:42.866 --> 0:48:45.226
<v Speaker 5>Like hey, well you guys, you know, we were a

0:48:45.266 --> 0:48:47.706
<v Speaker 5>hot air balloon that was tethered, but we were still

0:48:47.786 --> 0:48:50.666
<v Speaker 5>drifting pretty high up, and I remember we got called

0:48:50.706 --> 0:48:54.146
<v Speaker 5>in and management yelled at us, I mean really yelled

0:48:54.186 --> 0:48:57.346
<v Speaker 5>at us, and I remember they didn't they wanted us

0:48:57.386 --> 0:49:00.226
<v Speaker 5>to stop calling at the big show. We wanted every

0:49:00.266 --> 0:49:02.786
<v Speaker 5>time you go to break when you're teasing things, we

0:49:02.826 --> 0:49:06.666
<v Speaker 5>want you to end with this is Sports Center. And

0:49:06.746 --> 0:49:08.826
<v Speaker 5>I remember when we came out of the meeting, and

0:49:10.106 --> 0:49:13.226
<v Speaker 5>Keith famously said, I'm shell shocked. I mean, I'm like,

0:49:13.666 --> 0:49:17.146
<v Speaker 5>I can't lose this job. I got three kids. And

0:49:17.226 --> 0:49:21.786
<v Speaker 5>so Keith goes and I go, well, yes, they're not

0:49:21.786 --> 0:49:24.946
<v Speaker 5>going to fire us. We'll say this is Sports Center.

0:49:25.066 --> 0:49:27.706
<v Speaker 5>I go, okay, So this is in the afternoon. We

0:49:27.746 --> 0:49:29.626
<v Speaker 5>have to do a show that night. I mean, imagine

0:49:29.906 --> 0:49:32.386
<v Speaker 5>how we feel we just got aired out by manager.

0:49:32.426 --> 0:49:33.506
<v Speaker 1>I've had those talks.

0:49:34.946 --> 0:49:38.266
<v Speaker 5>We get there doing the show, we go to break

0:49:39.066 --> 0:49:41.706
<v Speaker 5>after like eighteen minutes, and then you know, coming up

0:49:42.306 --> 0:49:47.466
<v Speaker 5>Da da da, and Keith goes this and Smarts Center,

0:49:48.626 --> 0:49:53.066
<v Speaker 5>and I go, all right, it's on right there. And

0:49:53.106 --> 0:49:55.746
<v Speaker 5>then they created the ad campaign. So I go to

0:49:55.786 --> 0:49:58.186
<v Speaker 5>my boss, John Walsh. I go, why don't we promote

0:49:58.226 --> 0:50:00.106
<v Speaker 5>Sports Center? He goes, we don't need to. I said,

0:50:00.146 --> 0:50:03.186
<v Speaker 5>you promote all these other shows, you know, NFL Countdown.

0:50:03.826 --> 0:50:06.586
<v Speaker 5>And then he said, all right, we'll do an ad

0:50:06.626 --> 0:50:09.906
<v Speaker 5>campaign and it was called this is Sports Center. We

0:50:09.946 --> 0:50:12.266
<v Speaker 5>couldn't get any athletes to show up because you have

0:50:12.306 --> 0:50:13.466
<v Speaker 5>to go to Bristol, Connecticut.

0:50:13.826 --> 0:50:14.586
<v Speaker 3>They don't pay you.

0:50:15.106 --> 0:50:19.066
<v Speaker 5>They gave you a like a donation stipend of two

0:50:19.066 --> 0:50:20.586
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars for charity.

0:50:21.506 --> 0:50:22.746
<v Speaker 3>And I called Grant Hill.

0:50:22.786 --> 0:50:25.266
<v Speaker 5>I called a lot of people, but I called Grant

0:50:25.346 --> 0:50:27.786
<v Speaker 5>Hill and Jason Kidd, and I said, would you like

0:50:27.826 --> 0:50:29.866
<v Speaker 5>to be in a commercial co Rookies of the Year,

0:50:29.946 --> 0:50:33.786
<v Speaker 5>Let's go, I know, and you know it turned out

0:50:34.426 --> 0:50:36.226
<v Speaker 5>they both were like, well, where do we have to go?

0:50:36.266 --> 0:50:38.746
<v Speaker 5>And I go Bristol, Connecticut. What do we get paid?

0:50:39.026 --> 0:50:42.546
<v Speaker 5>I go, well, you don't get paid, and thank god

0:50:42.626 --> 0:50:46.106
<v Speaker 5>they did it. So Grant played the piano in the lobby.

0:50:46.146 --> 0:50:48.866
<v Speaker 5>When I have a bad show, he's, you know, the jacket,

0:50:49.106 --> 0:50:52.826
<v Speaker 5>the jacket over my shoulder. And then and then Jason

0:50:52.906 --> 0:50:56.866
<v Speaker 5>Kidd we went to a helipad and he was getting

0:50:56.866 --> 0:51:01.066
<v Speaker 5>out of a helicopter with his videotape of his game

0:51:01.506 --> 0:51:04.026
<v Speaker 5>and here were his highlights, and then he was telling

0:51:04.066 --> 0:51:06.866
<v Speaker 5>us what highlights those were the first two and then

0:51:06.906 --> 0:51:11.186
<v Speaker 5>after that everybody wanted their own Sports Center commercial. And

0:51:11.226 --> 0:51:15.466
<v Speaker 5>then I think because hooting the blowfish they had just

0:51:15.506 --> 0:51:20.106
<v Speaker 5>broken with hold my hand yep, I actually ran into

0:51:20.186 --> 0:51:24.906
<v Speaker 5>we crossed paths at the Masters. I've known those guys

0:51:24.906 --> 0:51:30.266
<v Speaker 5>for it's twenty nine years now, but they were too afraid,

0:51:30.346 --> 0:51:32.906
<v Speaker 5>nervous to say allow to me and I didn't see

0:51:32.906 --> 0:51:34.906
<v Speaker 5>them there, but they said, you know, we walked by you,

0:51:35.386 --> 0:51:37.986
<v Speaker 5>and I think it was the ninety four Masters, and

0:51:38.666 --> 0:51:40.986
<v Speaker 5>they reached out and said would we like to be

0:51:41.066 --> 0:51:43.786
<v Speaker 5>in the video. And I don't know if Keith was

0:51:43.826 --> 0:51:47.746
<v Speaker 5>aware of them or how aware I was, and I

0:51:47.826 --> 0:51:49.706
<v Speaker 5>knew he was going to have Dan Marino and some

0:51:49.826 --> 0:51:53.666
<v Speaker 5>other people, and then we became friends, so i've been.

0:51:54.386 --> 0:51:58.426
<v Speaker 5>My fortieth birthday, I went to Europe with them for

0:51:58.666 --> 0:52:02.306
<v Speaker 5>eight days, traveling around with them London, Scotland and Ireland

0:52:02.466 --> 0:52:04.866
<v Speaker 5>doing the shows, first time they'd been over there as

0:52:04.906 --> 0:52:07.946
<v Speaker 5>a band. And the fiftieth they came to my house

0:52:08.106 --> 0:52:12.346
<v Speaker 5>and performed. And then my sixtieth I went with some friends,

0:52:12.386 --> 0:52:15.146
<v Speaker 5>my brothers and Darius and we went to Pebble Beach.

0:52:15.746 --> 0:52:17.986
<v Speaker 5>If I'm around when I'm seventy, I'm not sure what

0:52:18.066 --> 0:52:21.266
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to ask them to do, but they'll probably

0:52:21.346 --> 0:52:23.386
<v Speaker 5>you know, at least Darius is going to be involved

0:52:23.386 --> 0:52:25.466
<v Speaker 5>in it because he's he's been around for a long time,

0:52:25.666 --> 0:52:26.426
<v Speaker 5>good friend.

0:52:26.586 --> 0:52:29.746
<v Speaker 1>So cool. Then you get the connection with the Sandler

0:52:29.786 --> 0:52:32.586
<v Speaker 1>guys and you're in probably like a dozen Sandler.

0:52:32.266 --> 0:52:35.386
<v Speaker 5>Movies, twenty I think twenty or twenty one movie. It

0:52:35.506 --> 0:52:38.626
<v Speaker 5>sounds that sounds, you know, pretentious that I don't know

0:52:38.666 --> 0:52:41.746
<v Speaker 5>how many movies, but it's I think it's twenty I.

0:52:41.666 --> 0:52:43.786
<v Speaker 1>Mean, and it's not just you, it's the Danet's, it's

0:52:43.786 --> 0:52:44.306
<v Speaker 1>all the guys.

0:52:44.426 --> 0:52:47.946
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well, he's extremely loyal as.

0:52:47.866 --> 0:52:50.226
<v Speaker 1>Oh I can imagine. I mean, look at their guys

0:52:50.226 --> 0:52:51.306
<v Speaker 1>in his movies, all of them.

0:52:51.346 --> 0:52:53.946
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he goes, Danny, once you're in, you're in, and

0:52:53.986 --> 0:52:56.466
<v Speaker 5>I you know, it's like a mob family, Like you're in,

0:52:56.546 --> 0:52:57.506
<v Speaker 5>you're in for life.

0:52:57.546 --> 0:52:59.466
<v Speaker 1>What was what was the first movie you did with him?

0:52:59.866 --> 0:53:03.826
<v Speaker 5>I did water Boy, okay, and then I told him

0:53:03.826 --> 0:53:07.266
<v Speaker 5>I didn't want to play myself like once again hell arrogant,

0:53:07.586 --> 0:53:09.546
<v Speaker 5>Like all good, I don't want to be myself and

0:53:09.586 --> 0:53:13.706
<v Speaker 5>he goes, all right. Sandler goes, you're Danny mcpatrick. You're

0:53:13.746 --> 0:53:15.986
<v Speaker 5>going to be a police officer and wear a mustache.

0:53:16.186 --> 0:53:19.186
<v Speaker 5>And I'm in the longest yard and I'm a police

0:53:19.186 --> 0:53:23.026
<v Speaker 5>officer wearing a mustache, and uh, we try to arrest

0:53:23.026 --> 0:53:24.266
<v Speaker 5>Sandler at the beginning of the movie.

0:53:24.466 --> 0:53:28.826
<v Speaker 1>I remember, I remember all of what was the that's

0:53:28.946 --> 0:53:30.546
<v Speaker 1>that's my boy, that's my boy.

0:53:30.906 --> 0:53:34.466
<v Speaker 5>I go, Yeah, he wanted me to be a sort

0:53:34.466 --> 0:53:38.266
<v Speaker 5>of a Jerry Springer type guy talk show host and

0:53:39.746 --> 0:53:42.426
<v Speaker 5>just go with it. I'm on stage with Dave Matthews,

0:53:42.506 --> 0:53:46.866
<v Speaker 5>Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman. I mean, he's he's been very

0:53:46.986 --> 0:53:49.386
<v Speaker 5>very generous. I don't know if it's to the detriment

0:53:49.426 --> 0:53:52.066
<v Speaker 5>of the you know, finished product, but he's been very

0:53:52.146 --> 0:53:54.706
<v Speaker 5>very generous through the years. And he wrote the forward

0:53:54.786 --> 0:53:57.986
<v Speaker 5>to this book. He didn't even know what a forward was,

0:53:58.506 --> 0:54:02.106
<v Speaker 5>because I said, Sadman, can you write the forward to

0:54:02.226 --> 0:54:02.786
<v Speaker 5>this book?

0:54:03.226 --> 0:54:04.666
<v Speaker 3>Danny? What's a forward?

0:54:04.986 --> 0:54:07.506
<v Speaker 5>I said, you know, the beginning the book, and you know,

0:54:07.666 --> 0:54:10.186
<v Speaker 5>you kind of write whatever. He goes, what am I

0:54:10.226 --> 0:54:12.986
<v Speaker 5>writing about? I said, you can write about your love

0:54:13.026 --> 0:54:15.706
<v Speaker 5>of the Jets, all right? Can I write about how

0:54:15.786 --> 0:54:17.906
<v Speaker 5>much I hate the Patriots? I said, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

0:54:18.426 --> 0:54:19.906
<v Speaker 5>He goes, how long is it going to be? I

0:54:19.946 --> 0:54:23.666
<v Speaker 5>go just go until you stop up? And he goes, Okay.

0:54:24.506 --> 0:54:29.266
<v Speaker 5>Next day he sends me his forward, the draft, and

0:54:29.306 --> 0:54:32.786
<v Speaker 5>then he goes there, hopefully that's what you need and

0:54:32.826 --> 0:54:36.106
<v Speaker 5>I said, awesome, Sam Man, it'll be great. And then

0:54:36.826 --> 0:54:39.786
<v Speaker 5>the next day he texts me he said, Danny got

0:54:39.786 --> 0:54:43.066
<v Speaker 5>to take Tom Brady's stuff out. You know, I hated

0:54:43.066 --> 0:54:45.306
<v Speaker 5>tom Brady because he was with the Patriots. But I

0:54:45.306 --> 0:54:47.346
<v Speaker 5>don't want to say I hate Tom Brady now, okay,

0:54:47.706 --> 0:54:49.626
<v Speaker 5>And then I said, yeah, we'll take it out, don't

0:54:49.626 --> 0:54:51.986
<v Speaker 5>worry about it. So it's about his love of the Jets,

0:54:52.266 --> 0:54:54.746
<v Speaker 5>growing up in New Hampshire, being a Jets fan.

0:54:55.226 --> 0:54:55.666
<v Speaker 3>So good.

0:54:56.466 --> 0:54:58.746
<v Speaker 1>They say that his sets, like when you're filming is

0:54:59.226 --> 0:55:02.706
<v Speaker 1>he's so hospitable, he's so gracious, and it really is

0:55:02.746 --> 0:55:04.626
<v Speaker 1>as fun as it looks, and a lot of times

0:55:04.626 --> 0:55:06.186
<v Speaker 1>it's in some pretty cool locales. Do you have a

0:55:06.226 --> 0:55:08.386
<v Speaker 1>good story about where you went from one of these movies?

0:55:09.106 --> 0:55:10.266
<v Speaker 3>Well, I went to Hawaii.

0:55:10.546 --> 0:55:13.266
<v Speaker 5>That's for just go with it, right, that was just ya,

0:55:13.466 --> 0:55:16.266
<v Speaker 5>just go with it. And and it was a big part.

0:55:16.426 --> 0:55:17.946
<v Speaker 5>I mean I had a big part. And I'm on

0:55:18.026 --> 0:55:22.466
<v Speaker 5>stage with Aniston and Kidman and I remember the night

0:55:23.426 --> 0:55:28.106
<v Speaker 5>I got I shot part of my scene. And then

0:55:28.666 --> 0:55:33.106
<v Speaker 5>Nick Schwartzen, the comedian Minnesota guy. Yeah, so Schwarty shows up.

0:55:33.146 --> 0:55:37.386
<v Speaker 5>He's in the movie. But he goes, uh, Danny, we're

0:55:37.426 --> 0:55:40.866
<v Speaker 5>going drinking tonight and I'm gonna drink you under the table.

0:55:40.906 --> 0:55:42.706
<v Speaker 3>And I said, I said, Nick, don't do that.

0:55:43.946 --> 0:55:48.306
<v Speaker 5>And he's like, okay, yeah, you know, I said, I said, Schworty,

0:55:48.826 --> 0:55:52.746
<v Speaker 5>I'll crush you. Well, he didn't believe me. I walk

0:55:52.826 --> 0:55:57.186
<v Speaker 5>into the bar. It's a Tommy Bahamas bar in Hawaii,

0:55:57.946 --> 0:56:02.546
<v Speaker 5>and he gets me a mind eraser that is in

0:56:02.626 --> 0:56:06.106
<v Speaker 5>a tall glass and he goes and I said, I said,

0:56:06.146 --> 0:56:06.706
<v Speaker 5>what are we doing?

0:56:06.746 --> 0:56:08.666
<v Speaker 3>He goes, We're downing these.

0:56:09.026 --> 0:56:12.706
<v Speaker 5>I said, wait, we're gonna take down the whole and

0:56:12.746 --> 0:56:15.946
<v Speaker 5>he goes, yeah, And so I down a mind a

0:56:16.026 --> 0:56:18.826
<v Speaker 5>racer and then next thing I know, there was another

0:56:18.866 --> 0:56:20.946
<v Speaker 5>one that came over, and then another one came over

0:56:21.306 --> 0:56:24.786
<v Speaker 5>and I go, I said, Schwarty, you know what, I

0:56:25.266 --> 0:56:27.306
<v Speaker 5>owe it to Sandler to be ready to go tomorrow.

0:56:27.386 --> 0:56:29.546
<v Speaker 5>And he goes, oh, are you being you want to?

0:56:29.826 --> 0:56:32.946
<v Speaker 5>And I go all right, I said, look, if you die,

0:56:33.586 --> 0:56:37.666
<v Speaker 5>you asked for this. This is self inflicted. Well we

0:56:37.786 --> 0:56:44.706
<v Speaker 5>kept going. Next morning, nobody knows where Schwarty is. Afternoon,

0:56:45.066 --> 0:56:49.506
<v Speaker 5>nobody can find Nick Schwartzen. Later in the evening, nobody's

0:56:49.506 --> 0:56:54.186
<v Speaker 5>heard from Nick Schwartzen. I'm getting ready to shoot my scene.

0:56:55.386 --> 0:57:00.626
<v Speaker 5>Schwartzen comes in, looks horrible, disheveled. Best yeah, I mean

0:57:00.626 --> 0:57:05.506
<v Speaker 5>he doesn't want to go to begin with, but he goes, hey,

0:57:05.826 --> 0:57:10.466
<v Speaker 5>come here, come here. You can't tell Sandler, you can't

0:57:10.506 --> 0:57:11.866
<v Speaker 5>tell I said, what.

0:57:11.626 --> 0:57:13.466
<v Speaker 3>The principal or big brother daddy.

0:57:14.066 --> 0:57:17.666
<v Speaker 5>He got so messed up he fell asleep in the

0:57:17.826 --> 0:57:23.546
<v Speaker 5>uh sand trap at the golf course across from the hotel. Incredible,

0:57:23.626 --> 0:57:27.746
<v Speaker 5>lost his keys, lost his cell phone and uh no,

0:57:27.826 --> 0:57:29.426
<v Speaker 5>he didn't lose his key, lost his cell phone so

0:57:29.466 --> 0:57:31.626
<v Speaker 5>nobody could get in touch with it. But he comes

0:57:31.666 --> 0:57:33.786
<v Speaker 5>in and he might have just gotten out of the

0:57:33.826 --> 0:57:36.946
<v Speaker 5>sand trap. I just remember, I said, I said, shorty.

0:57:37.226 --> 0:57:39.386
<v Speaker 5>He goes, You're right, I won't do it again. The

0:57:39.426 --> 0:57:43.226
<v Speaker 5>next night we went out. He didn't have a drink. Yeah,

0:57:43.266 --> 0:57:43.506
<v Speaker 5>you know.

0:57:43.506 --> 0:57:45.066
<v Speaker 3>We went south to a sushi place.

0:57:45.226 --> 0:57:48.706
<v Speaker 5>But Sandman will always say, look, just don't make don't

0:57:48.746 --> 0:57:51.306
<v Speaker 5>make the newspaper, don't make the newspaper doing anything.

0:57:51.706 --> 0:57:53.506
<v Speaker 3>And then we went out with Dave Matthews.

0:57:54.346 --> 0:57:57.146
<v Speaker 5>First night I was there and I'd never met him,

0:57:57.506 --> 0:58:00.546
<v Speaker 5>and yeah, wicked sense you humor. But he didn't know

0:58:00.866 --> 0:58:01.986
<v Speaker 5>he knew no sports.

0:58:02.066 --> 0:58:04.226
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't know like South African, like cricket or right.

0:58:04.266 --> 0:58:06.066
<v Speaker 3>Don't you think he knew No, No, I don't think

0:58:06.106 --> 0:58:07.226
<v Speaker 3>he knew anything.

0:58:07.666 --> 0:58:12.546
<v Speaker 5>Now Ertie L's guy, but he he goes, yeah, I

0:58:12.546 --> 0:58:15.466
<v Speaker 5>guess you're the sports guy. I go, yeah, I'm Sandler

0:58:15.506 --> 0:58:18.986
<v Speaker 5>would always introduce me as the sports guy to Anniston. Hey,

0:58:19.026 --> 0:58:22.546
<v Speaker 5>this is Danny's the sports guy. Kidman didn't care. She

0:58:22.546 --> 0:58:26.426
<v Speaker 5>couldn't care less about me. But I'm sitting down at

0:58:26.466 --> 0:58:29.866
<v Speaker 5>a large picnic table at a restaurant and I went

0:58:29.906 --> 0:58:33.626
<v Speaker 5>to I'm across from Dave Matthews and I reach out

0:58:33.666 --> 0:58:36.746
<v Speaker 5>to shake his hand. I knock my beer over into

0:58:36.786 --> 0:58:40.026
<v Speaker 5>his lap and he goes, wow, that's quite an introduction.

0:58:40.946 --> 0:58:44.786
<v Speaker 5>And he was. He was great. He was so much fun.

0:58:45.306 --> 0:58:47.266
<v Speaker 5>Like he would always walk up to me and he goes,

0:58:47.826 --> 0:58:51.106
<v Speaker 5>you're pretty tall. How tall are you? Well, they in

0:58:51.146 --> 0:58:54.746
<v Speaker 5>the movie there's a scene where he says something about

0:58:54.826 --> 0:58:57.826
<v Speaker 5>that guy up there on stage is pretty tall. Yeah,

0:58:57.866 --> 0:59:01.546
<v Speaker 5>it was just Sandler left it in there. Uh. Aniston

0:59:01.706 --> 0:59:07.226
<v Speaker 5>was wonderful, spectacular, funny, gorgeous, nicole kidmun had just had

0:59:07.226 --> 0:59:10.026
<v Speaker 5>a baby, and she was in incredible shape. But she

0:59:10.106 --> 0:59:12.146
<v Speaker 5>was an actress. Yeah, I know that's a thing like

0:59:12.186 --> 0:59:15.506
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't. I couldn't go over there and seek So

0:59:15.946 --> 0:59:20.306
<v Speaker 5>I was trying to prevent them from figuring out too

0:59:20.346 --> 0:59:22.826
<v Speaker 5>soon that I didn't know how to act. That was

0:59:22.866 --> 0:59:26.266
<v Speaker 5>my goal, and it didn't take long before Kidman's you know,

0:59:26.346 --> 0:59:29.346
<v Speaker 5>sizing me up and realizing this guy is not an actor.

0:59:29.746 --> 0:59:32.386
<v Speaker 5>Anniston may have been a little more generous, but I thought, God,

0:59:32.426 --> 0:59:34.666
<v Speaker 5>if I ever get a loan with Kidman, I'm not.

0:59:34.586 --> 0:59:35.826
<v Speaker 3>Going to have anything to say.

0:59:36.066 --> 0:59:38.386
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm thinking, I'm not going to be, you know,

0:59:38.626 --> 0:59:40.906
<v Speaker 5>off the set, you know, talking to her. I'm in

0:59:40.946 --> 0:59:44.706
<v Speaker 5>the green room of sorts for actors who were ready

0:59:44.746 --> 0:59:46.706
<v Speaker 5>to do their scene or waiting to do their scene.

0:59:46.986 --> 0:59:51.066
<v Speaker 5>I walk in and Sandler's bulldog is in there, and

0:59:51.306 --> 0:59:54.426
<v Speaker 5>you know, some sporting eventison, So I said, got Sandler's

0:59:54.546 --> 1:00:00.146
<v Speaker 5>Bulldog with me, and Nicole Kidman walks in. Well, it's

1:00:00.146 --> 1:00:01.626
<v Speaker 5>one of those where you walk in a room and

1:00:01.666 --> 1:00:03.826
<v Speaker 5>you hope somebody doesn't see you and then they walk

1:00:03.906 --> 1:00:08.066
<v Speaker 5>back out. But she walked in and then we made

1:00:08.066 --> 1:00:11.386
<v Speaker 5>eye contact, so she had to stay. So she comes

1:00:11.386 --> 1:00:17.586
<v Speaker 5>over and sits down. Nothing's being said, it's it's it's

1:00:18.426 --> 1:00:23.386
<v Speaker 5>excruciatingly quiet, and I just and my daughter said, hey,

1:00:23.506 --> 1:00:26.026
<v Speaker 5>if you ever want to bring up something an icebreaker

1:00:26.106 --> 1:00:29.386
<v Speaker 5>for Nicole Kidman, I've got one. You know, I'm born

1:00:29.466 --> 1:00:32.746
<v Speaker 5>on the same day as her daughter, and I'm thinking, Okay,

1:00:33.226 --> 1:00:36.186
<v Speaker 5>if I ever need it, it's in my back pocket. Well,

1:00:36.826 --> 1:00:40.586
<v Speaker 5>first thing I say to her is, hey, you know

1:00:40.586 --> 1:00:43.026
<v Speaker 5>I have my daughter is born on the same day

1:00:43.066 --> 1:00:44.386
<v Speaker 5>as your daughter.

1:00:44.786 --> 1:00:47.706
<v Speaker 3>And she goes, Oh, that's wonderful.

1:00:49.906 --> 1:00:54.546
<v Speaker 5>That's it, that's it. We we had, we had nothing,

1:00:54.666 --> 1:00:59.906
<v Speaker 5>we had nothing. Well, a couple of days later, Keith Urban,

1:00:59.946 --> 1:01:02.546
<v Speaker 5>her husband, comes to the set.

1:01:02.866 --> 1:01:05.386
<v Speaker 3>He sees me. He wants to talk about the.

1:01:06.986 --> 1:01:09.386
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and her look on her face is like, you

1:01:09.546 --> 1:01:11.946
<v Speaker 5>know this guy and all you want to do is

1:01:11.946 --> 1:01:15.826
<v Speaker 5>talk about Tennessee Titans. But Sandman does have you know,

1:01:15.906 --> 1:01:20.826
<v Speaker 5>it's it's usually good locations and fun people, and it's

1:01:21.186 --> 1:01:25.226
<v Speaker 5>you get things done, but it's you know, you're having

1:01:25.266 --> 1:01:26.106
<v Speaker 5>fun along the way.

1:01:26.106 --> 1:01:27.066
<v Speaker 3>That's really important.

1:01:27.546 --> 1:01:28.826
<v Speaker 1>We only have a few more minutes, but they want

1:01:28.826 --> 1:01:30.706
<v Speaker 1>to ask you a couple couple other quick ones here,

1:01:30.786 --> 1:01:33.546
<v Speaker 1>because the Sandler connection is one thing. But you've also

1:01:33.826 --> 1:01:35.986
<v Speaker 1>been on The Simpsons before, and I think that's a

1:01:35.986 --> 1:01:38.746
<v Speaker 1>good segue to the book. How does this book come

1:01:38.786 --> 1:01:41.666
<v Speaker 1>together and you're experience to the Simpsons, what's the connection.

1:01:42.186 --> 1:01:42.346
<v Speaker 3>Well.

1:01:42.466 --> 1:01:45.346
<v Speaker 5>Joel Cohen, who co wrote this with me, is one

1:01:45.346 --> 1:01:48.666
<v Speaker 5>of the head writers on The Simpsons and he reached

1:01:48.706 --> 1:01:52.506
<v Speaker 5>out to me and said, hey, we have an episode

1:01:52.546 --> 1:01:56.586
<v Speaker 5>where we need an announcer and it's Homers involved in

1:01:56.626 --> 1:02:02.426
<v Speaker 5>a rock skipping contest and yeah, and so I said, oh,

1:02:02.466 --> 1:02:05.666
<v Speaker 5>I'd be honored. I'd love it, and he said, all

1:02:05.866 --> 1:02:08.466
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'll set up the script and we'll do

1:02:08.586 --> 1:02:12.586
<v Speaker 5>us some kind of moment here where we recorded. I

1:02:12.586 --> 1:02:14.506
<v Speaker 5>go okay, and he goes, you know, while I have you,

1:02:14.986 --> 1:02:17.706
<v Speaker 5>how do we fix the Jets? And I go, well,

1:02:17.746 --> 1:02:19.706
<v Speaker 5>how much time do you have? And he goes, no,

1:02:19.826 --> 1:02:22.386
<v Speaker 5>I think I can fix the Jets. And then he

1:02:22.826 --> 1:02:23.946
<v Speaker 5>brought up the butt fumble.

1:02:23.986 --> 1:02:24.586
<v Speaker 3>Why is it?

1:02:24.946 --> 1:02:28.066
<v Speaker 5>You know, all the blame goes to Mark Sanchez and

1:02:28.106 --> 1:02:31.066
<v Speaker 5>not the offensive lineman who was blown up by Vince Wilford.

1:02:31.866 --> 1:02:34.946
<v Speaker 5>So these were things that were bothering him. And then

1:02:35.386 --> 1:02:38.626
<v Speaker 5>you know, he would talk about the Patriot mascot hat

1:02:38.666 --> 1:02:41.346
<v Speaker 5>the Patriot like all of these things. He goes, I

1:02:41.386 --> 1:02:43.906
<v Speaker 5>don't have an outlet like you do, and I go

1:02:44.706 --> 1:02:47.426
<v Speaker 5>and then I threw a couple of things back at him,

1:02:48.106 --> 1:02:51.986
<v Speaker 5>and then it was I liken it too. It was

1:02:52.106 --> 1:02:54.786
<v Speaker 5>verbal tennis match where we're just throwing things back together,

1:02:55.066 --> 1:02:58.146
<v Speaker 5>and he said, I'm going to write these down. He goes,

1:02:58.186 --> 1:03:01.586
<v Speaker 5>would you want to write a book? And I'm thinking sure,

1:03:01.826 --> 1:03:04.906
<v Speaker 5>like yeah, and then I didn't realize but he said

1:03:05.186 --> 1:03:07.706
<v Speaker 5>he sent some stuff back. He goes, all right, this

1:03:07.826 --> 1:03:09.986
<v Speaker 5>is what you said this when I said, and I

1:03:09.986 --> 1:03:12.226
<v Speaker 5>think we got somebody who will publish this book.

1:03:12.386 --> 1:03:17.906
<v Speaker 3>And I go, what, whoa why? What? I go?

1:03:18.066 --> 1:03:21.306
<v Speaker 5>Does America need this? He goes, well, football books are

1:03:21.346 --> 1:03:25.626
<v Speaker 5>always serious. They're about men, they're about you know, integrity,

1:03:25.706 --> 1:03:29.946
<v Speaker 5>the Yeah, they're gladiators. And he said, let's just have fun,

1:03:30.306 --> 1:03:34.666
<v Speaker 5>you know, like, let's talk about Ken Stabler smoking bacon

1:03:34.706 --> 1:03:38.386
<v Speaker 5>wrapped cigarettes like you know, that's his diet. Let's let's

1:03:38.426 --> 1:03:42.426
<v Speaker 5>compare Tom Brady's diet to Ken Stable. I said, all right,

1:03:42.706 --> 1:03:45.346
<v Speaker 5>I said I I And he goes, we don't have

1:03:45.426 --> 1:03:48.826
<v Speaker 5>to be accurate. That's you know, it's the occasionally accurate.

1:03:48.906 --> 1:03:52.826
<v Speaker 5>So we're not burden by truth. We don't, but we

1:03:52.826 --> 1:03:56.826
<v Speaker 5>we do represent every team. We look at the decades,

1:03:57.186 --> 1:03:59.226
<v Speaker 5>we look at football, what it'll be like in twenty

1:03:59.266 --> 1:03:59.986
<v Speaker 5>seventy three.

1:04:00.466 --> 1:04:02.426
<v Speaker 3>And it was just it was just fun.

1:04:02.666 --> 1:04:06.586
<v Speaker 5>He's an extremely bright guy and it just made the

1:04:06.626 --> 1:04:09.546
<v Speaker 5>process so much more enjoyable. And then I do the

1:04:09.586 --> 1:04:13.906
<v Speaker 5>audio version so if you want to bedtime story, I

1:04:13.906 --> 1:04:15.146
<v Speaker 5>can read this to you.

1:04:15.546 --> 1:04:17.586
<v Speaker 3>And that was a fun problem.

1:04:18.266 --> 1:04:24.346
<v Speaker 5>Like we have something on Nipplegate with Justin Timberlake, and

1:04:24.386 --> 1:04:26.546
<v Speaker 5>there were two of them that I and Andy Richter

1:04:26.826 --> 1:04:30.826
<v Speaker 5>wrote a story. Part of the chapter Conan's Sidekick. And

1:04:31.266 --> 1:04:34.746
<v Speaker 5>then Joel started telling his friends. So his friends go, hey,

1:04:34.786 --> 1:04:37.746
<v Speaker 5>I got it. I got a story. So I mean

1:04:37.826 --> 1:04:39.986
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I can't turn this down. I'm going

1:04:40.026 --> 1:04:41.746
<v Speaker 5>to write a book, but everybody else is going to

1:04:41.786 --> 1:04:44.746
<v Speaker 5>write the book for me. And you know, we just

1:04:44.786 --> 1:04:47.386
<v Speaker 5>sort of there was nothing that was off limits. We

1:04:47.626 --> 1:04:50.266
<v Speaker 5>just thought there would be something. If something was funnier,

1:04:50.266 --> 1:04:55.026
<v Speaker 5>then we took out something. But it was it's been rewarding,

1:04:55.066 --> 1:04:58.266
<v Speaker 5>it's been enjoyable, and you know, Joel has become a

1:04:58.306 --> 1:04:59.706
<v Speaker 5>friend as a result.

1:04:59.986 --> 1:05:02.586
<v Speaker 1>And it's in black and white, right, and it aesthetically

1:05:02.666 --> 1:05:05.546
<v Speaker 1>looks really cool. Yeah, I love that.

1:05:06.546 --> 1:05:08.946
<v Speaker 3>We do like the Wizinator Ontario Smith.

1:05:09.066 --> 1:05:11.466
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember on Tara Smith Vikings running back. Couldn't

1:05:11.466 --> 1:05:13.066
<v Speaker 1>do that airport, that's unfortunate.

1:05:13.306 --> 1:05:17.946
<v Speaker 5>We fix we fix penalties. Uh, let's see things you

1:05:17.946 --> 1:05:21.026
<v Speaker 5>don't bring to a tailgate. We made the Immaculate Reception

1:05:21.266 --> 1:05:23.666
<v Speaker 5>a sermon we do talk about.

1:05:23.906 --> 1:05:24.066
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1:05:25.146 --> 1:05:29.466
<v Speaker 5>We have people who critique me in the media if

1:05:29.506 --> 1:05:32.906
<v Speaker 5>I'm any good, and so there's trash talk. I mean,

1:05:32.946 --> 1:05:35.746
<v Speaker 5>there's there's there's quite a few things in the book,

1:05:35.866 --> 1:05:39.146
<v Speaker 5>but it's it's meant to be tongue in cheek, but uh,

1:05:39.306 --> 1:05:41.626
<v Speaker 5>and hopefully people take it that way. But it was

1:05:41.706 --> 1:05:44.466
<v Speaker 5>and every team is represented, and some of the best

1:05:44.466 --> 1:05:46.586
<v Speaker 5>players who have played for these teams. We have fun

1:05:46.626 --> 1:05:47.386
<v Speaker 5>at their expense.

1:05:48.106 --> 1:05:50.706
<v Speaker 1>Uh. In closing, I got this podcast here as like

1:05:50.746 --> 1:05:52.746
<v Speaker 1>a second or third gig, and I love it. It's

1:05:52.746 --> 1:05:54.106
<v Speaker 1>like my own name on it. It's the first thing

1:05:54.106 --> 1:05:56.626
<v Speaker 1>I've had that. It seems like everyone's got a podcast.

1:05:56.666 --> 1:05:59.746
<v Speaker 1>Everyone thinks they can be Dan Patrick. You've seen the

1:05:59.786 --> 1:06:03.466
<v Speaker 1>explosion of podcasts, and you know the explosion of McAfee

1:06:03.506 --> 1:06:05.546
<v Speaker 1>and you name it. Now there's you go on your

1:06:05.546 --> 1:06:09.266
<v Speaker 1>Twitter feed and it's a different young woman touting gambling

1:06:09.306 --> 1:06:11.706
<v Speaker 1>tips and it's her own show. Like it's everywhere. It's

1:06:11.706 --> 1:06:17.066
<v Speaker 1>become an explosion of talent facing like here's my takes

1:06:17.066 --> 1:06:18.706
<v Speaker 1>on this and that, and there's an audience for it.

1:06:19.306 --> 1:06:22.146
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever imagine it could explode like this and

1:06:22.226 --> 1:06:23.786
<v Speaker 1>our industry would go down this direction?

1:06:24.666 --> 1:06:28.106
<v Speaker 5>Well, yes and no, because if you could do a

1:06:28.226 --> 1:06:32.426
<v Speaker 5>twenty four hour, seven day a week sports channel, and

1:06:32.466 --> 1:06:35.546
<v Speaker 5>then another twenty four hour day, seven day a week

1:06:35.786 --> 1:06:41.026
<v Speaker 5>sports channel, and then another, then yes that the explosion

1:06:41.146 --> 1:06:44.946
<v Speaker 5>could be there because there's only so many radio outlets

1:06:44.946 --> 1:06:48.146
<v Speaker 5>for people. Now, you give them an opportunity to have

1:06:48.586 --> 1:06:51.546
<v Speaker 5>their view of a certain sport or sports or whatever

1:06:51.586 --> 1:06:55.066
<v Speaker 5>it might be. I just worry that and it's going

1:06:55.106 --> 1:06:57.586
<v Speaker 5>to sound like, get off my launch, Oh, let's go,

1:06:57.866 --> 1:07:01.986
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying the same boat journalism. Yeah, that's because everybody thinks,

1:07:02.426 --> 1:07:05.146
<v Speaker 5>where in the mid nineties got to have a catchphrase

1:07:05.146 --> 1:07:07.066
<v Speaker 5>to be a sportscaster, now have to have a hot

1:07:07.106 --> 1:07:10.786
<v Speaker 5>take to be a sportscaster podcaster. I just want to

1:07:10.786 --> 1:07:12.906
<v Speaker 5>make sure that because a lot of people will be

1:07:13.146 --> 1:07:16.146
<v Speaker 5>loose with language. They'll say, you know, I'm hearing or

1:07:16.706 --> 1:07:21.626
<v Speaker 5>and I'm hearing gets left out where Peter Schreger says,

1:07:21.746 --> 1:07:24.466
<v Speaker 5>you could say, hey, I'm hearing, and then all of

1:07:24.506 --> 1:07:28.146
<v Speaker 5>a sudden it's no Peter Schreger says that the Raiders

1:07:28.146 --> 1:07:32.466
<v Speaker 5>are moving on from Devonte Adams. Sure they don't listen

1:07:32.546 --> 1:07:35.746
<v Speaker 5>all the way and therefore it becomes his story. And

1:07:35.906 --> 1:07:39.586
<v Speaker 5>I always caution, my students, have a source. Don't be

1:07:39.626 --> 1:07:42.546
<v Speaker 5>afraid to have a second source. When we were on ESPN,

1:07:43.026 --> 1:07:45.746
<v Speaker 5>we had to have two sources if you had a story.

1:07:46.626 --> 1:07:50.466
<v Speaker 5>And as crazy as this is going to sound, I

1:07:50.506 --> 1:07:54.546
<v Speaker 5>was on vacation with my wife and sitting next to

1:07:54.626 --> 1:08:00.506
<v Speaker 5>us was Tony Dungee's agent, and he said, hey, did

1:08:00.546 --> 1:08:04.066
<v Speaker 5>you hear that Tony's going to get the Tampa Bay job?

1:08:04.866 --> 1:08:07.866
<v Speaker 5>And I go no, he said no, I'm on vacation,

1:08:08.226 --> 1:08:10.506
<v Speaker 5>and I thought, well, let me call into the assignment desk.

1:08:10.946 --> 1:08:13.946
<v Speaker 5>I called him the assignment desk and they it might

1:08:13.986 --> 1:08:17.226
<v Speaker 5>have been Steve Perrisman was the guy maybe, and I

1:08:17.666 --> 1:08:20.106
<v Speaker 5>just remember he needed another source.

1:08:20.466 --> 1:08:21.386
<v Speaker 1>You're like, god, no, no, no.

1:08:21.426 --> 1:08:23.346
<v Speaker 5>The agent just but I couldn't tell him that I'm

1:08:23.346 --> 1:08:25.506
<v Speaker 5>getting it from the agent because the agent said, don't

1:08:25.506 --> 1:08:31.346
<v Speaker 5>attach my name, and I'm going I have an unbelievable source.

1:08:32.346 --> 1:08:35.826
<v Speaker 5>And then he said I need a second source. They

1:08:35.826 --> 1:08:40.266
<v Speaker 5>got a hold of Andrea Kramer, and Andrea was able

1:08:40.346 --> 1:08:44.026
<v Speaker 5>to confirm it, and then Andrea, I think, broke the news.

1:08:44.426 --> 1:08:47.106
<v Speaker 3>But I'm like, I'm on vacation.

1:08:47.306 --> 1:08:49.106
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what this news.

1:08:50.066 --> 1:08:51.146
<v Speaker 3>I'm not an insider.

1:08:51.546 --> 1:08:54.466
<v Speaker 5>I'm telling you, hey, Tony's gonna get the job with

1:08:54.466 --> 1:08:57.986
<v Speaker 5>the buccaneer, and I just remember, it's like, Holy, I

1:08:57.986 --> 1:09:00.026
<v Speaker 5>don't want to work this hard at a story I

1:09:00.066 --> 1:09:00.986
<v Speaker 5>won't get credit for.

1:09:01.546 --> 1:09:02.826
<v Speaker 3>I don't want credit for it.

1:09:02.906 --> 1:09:07.906
<v Speaker 5>I want credit for But you know, I caution those

1:09:07.946 --> 1:09:12.226
<v Speaker 5>who do it that don't don't be afraid if you're

1:09:12.226 --> 1:09:14.666
<v Speaker 5>going to say something that you have something to back

1:09:14.706 --> 1:09:17.826
<v Speaker 5>it up, because everybody can do the following. Oh, you know,

1:09:17.866 --> 1:09:19.866
<v Speaker 5>a source told me. Why don't have to tell you

1:09:19.906 --> 1:09:23.746
<v Speaker 5>my source? But you hope that people are still going

1:09:23.786 --> 1:09:27.746
<v Speaker 5>through the process. And look, I came up with CNN,

1:09:27.826 --> 1:09:29.986
<v Speaker 5>and this is the way you did it, and I'm

1:09:30.026 --> 1:09:33.266
<v Speaker 5>going to go out that way. You can't be loose

1:09:33.346 --> 1:09:34.746
<v Speaker 5>with Oh I'm hearing.

1:09:35.266 --> 1:09:38.266
<v Speaker 1>Well. I feel fortunate enough that I spent twenty years

1:09:38.506 --> 1:09:41.186
<v Speaker 1>having to do sources and that by the time I

1:09:41.226 --> 1:09:45.906
<v Speaker 1>say something on air, you're not questioning that process. A

1:09:45.906 --> 1:09:48.586
<v Speaker 1>lot of times now, I see people saying stuff on

1:09:48.626 --> 1:09:50.426
<v Speaker 1>air online I don't know who this person is. I

1:09:50.466 --> 1:09:52.746
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what this Twitter handle is. I don't

1:09:52.746 --> 1:09:54.386
<v Speaker 1>know where to believe it or not, and the check

1:09:54.386 --> 1:09:57.226
<v Speaker 1>marks are all ascue, so I can't. So it's very complicated,

1:09:57.346 --> 1:10:00.066
<v Speaker 1>especially you know when it talks to off season stuff

1:10:00.066 --> 1:10:01.746
<v Speaker 1>and trades and numerous because then I'll hear from the

1:10:01.786 --> 1:10:03.986
<v Speaker 1>GMS and coaches and be like, I read this from

1:10:04.546 --> 1:10:06.186
<v Speaker 1>this Twitter feed. I'm like, I don't I don't know

1:10:06.226 --> 1:10:07.666
<v Speaker 1>who that is. I don't even know who the person

1:10:07.746 --> 1:10:10.426
<v Speaker 1>is behind that. Someone said it, well, this is the

1:10:10.506 --> 1:10:12.986
<v Speaker 1>era of anonymous reporters.

1:10:13.466 --> 1:10:16.026
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's another thing where you're going, I don't know,

1:10:16.626 --> 1:10:19.186
<v Speaker 5>I don't know who the reporter is, but they're breaking

1:10:19.226 --> 1:10:21.866
<v Speaker 5>this story on Tom Brady and then you have to

1:10:21.946 --> 1:10:24.386
<v Speaker 5>follow that story and then you have to figure out

1:10:24.546 --> 1:10:25.466
<v Speaker 5>is it true or not?

1:10:26.026 --> 1:10:27.546
<v Speaker 1>And it's a real person.

1:10:27.546 --> 1:10:30.066
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and if somebody has an opinion. We had Rick

1:10:30.146 --> 1:10:32.586
<v Speaker 5>neuheiseel on and I said, where's Jim Harbaugh on a year?

1:10:32.906 --> 1:10:35.706
<v Speaker 5>He said he'll be in the NFL. Well, that's just

1:10:36.026 --> 1:10:39.826
<v Speaker 5>his opinion. It's not like he's reporting that. That's not

1:10:39.866 --> 1:10:44.586
<v Speaker 5>Bruce Feldman saying, yes, it's Rick Neuheisel said he thinks Jim.

1:10:44.786 --> 1:10:45.826
<v Speaker 3>But that's how it.

1:10:46.466 --> 1:10:50.786
<v Speaker 5>When we think that people go, they'll obviously know that Hey,

1:10:50.866 --> 1:10:55.026
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying this in jest or I'm just telling you

1:10:55.106 --> 1:10:59.106
<v Speaker 5>something that's my opinion. It becomes you know, the truth,

1:10:59.146 --> 1:11:00.586
<v Speaker 5>and then it's out there and then all of a

1:11:00.626 --> 1:11:03.346
<v Speaker 5>sudden people run with it and you're like, hold on,

1:11:03.546 --> 1:11:07.386
<v Speaker 5>like you can't bring it back. And I hope that

1:11:07.466 --> 1:11:10.266
<v Speaker 5>people who do this understand you can have a hot take.

1:11:11.306 --> 1:11:14.266
<v Speaker 5>I like to have an informed take. It may not

1:11:14.466 --> 1:11:18.066
<v Speaker 5>be hot, but if it's warm, great, I hope it's accurate.

1:11:18.146 --> 1:11:20.426
<v Speaker 3>More importantly, you're amazing.

1:11:20.506 --> 1:11:21.986
<v Speaker 1>You're awesome. I feel like we could do a part

1:11:22.026 --> 1:11:24.626
<v Speaker 1>two and we haven't even talked about your interview prowess.

1:11:24.266 --> 1:11:26.586
<v Speaker 3>And we can do a part two whenever you want to.

1:11:26.586 --> 1:11:30.786
<v Speaker 1>People do it, So appreciate your time. Guys, everyone who's listening.

1:11:30.546 --> 1:11:32.666
<v Speaker 3>The Jamie Jamie's pregnant.

1:11:32.986 --> 1:11:33.986
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jamie's prego.

1:11:34.426 --> 1:11:35.026
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome.

1:11:35.266 --> 1:11:38.026
<v Speaker 1>She told us that a couple of weeks ago. We're like, okay,

1:11:38.106 --> 1:11:40.866
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing, and she's like, but I don't know how

1:11:40.866 --> 1:11:43.386
<v Speaker 1>to reveal to the audience. So today on Halloween, she

1:11:43.546 --> 1:11:46.746
<v Speaker 1>dresses Rihanna, who of course performed the Half of Me,

1:11:46.746 --> 1:11:47.866
<v Speaker 1>and then she kind of dropped the bomb on the

1:11:47.906 --> 1:11:50.266
<v Speaker 1>audience and is like and yeah, just like Rihanna, I'm pregnant.

1:11:50.266 --> 1:11:53.266
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, okay, Yeah, she's awesome by the way, Yeah,

1:11:53.266 --> 1:11:54.026
<v Speaker 1>amazing teammate.

1:11:54.146 --> 1:11:56.466
<v Speaker 5>I never met her, and I've talked to Kyle before,

1:11:56.746 --> 1:12:02.706
<v Speaker 5>and uh, you know, his angry runs are epic. Yeah,

1:12:02.826 --> 1:12:06.146
<v Speaker 5>I worry that he's Yes, something's going to happen, He's

1:12:06.146 --> 1:12:07.746
<v Speaker 5>not a something's gonna burst.

1:12:08.186 --> 1:12:12.786
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, yes, yes, Dan Patrick. Such a thrill. Thank

1:12:12.826 --> 1:12:13.986
<v Speaker 1>you so much for doing the show.

1:12:13.826 --> 1:12:16.546
<v Speaker 3>Man, Peter, thank you, and I'll be watching.

1:12:19.746 --> 1:12:23.026
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Dan Patrick as good as advertised, maybe better? Was

1:12:23.026 --> 1:12:25.266
<v Speaker 1>that not awesome? Yeah?

1:12:25.306 --> 1:12:28.426
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I don't think I've heard him speak so

1:12:28.546 --> 1:12:32.746
<v Speaker 2>casually and openly about like a bunch of historical not historical,

1:12:32.826 --> 1:12:36.586
<v Speaker 2>but like the glory days of Sports Center, and like

1:12:36.906 --> 1:12:37.866
<v Speaker 2>that was I loved it.

1:12:38.026 --> 1:12:41.266
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's interesting. There was that giant ESPN book that

1:12:41.386 --> 1:12:44.426
<v Speaker 1>James Andrew Miller wrote, and I'm maybe Patrick shared that

1:12:44.466 --> 1:12:46.706
<v Speaker 1>in there. But like when he starts talking about the

1:12:46.706 --> 1:12:49.266
<v Speaker 1>stuff with bosses and the bigger than the brand, that's

1:12:49.306 --> 1:12:53.226
<v Speaker 1>all news to me. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm a big fan,

1:12:53.786 --> 1:12:55.506
<v Speaker 1>you know, like it's a thrill for me. Obviously I

1:12:55.506 --> 1:12:57.266
<v Speaker 1>was s geeking out. I felt like Chris Farley, like

1:12:57.746 --> 1:13:00.426
<v Speaker 1>what was it? Like, you know, he's talking to Paul McCartney.

1:13:00.666 --> 1:13:03.586
<v Speaker 1>That was it. The book I'll get, I'll read, I'll

1:13:03.586 --> 1:13:05.826
<v Speaker 1>probably listen to it. I like Dan's voice, I'll listen

1:13:05.866 --> 1:13:09.466
<v Speaker 1>to it. But that was cool, and this podcast was cool.

1:13:09.786 --> 1:13:12.146
<v Speaker 1>And as we wrap up, we got to do our

1:13:12.186 --> 1:13:15.426
<v Speaker 1>weekly sponsor and this is with Uber Eats, our peeps,

1:13:15.986 --> 1:13:20.226
<v Speaker 1>it's time for Delivering Results presented by Uber Eats, and

1:13:21.186 --> 1:13:26.266
<v Speaker 1>this week's Delivering results winner is Jamiir Gibbs. I was

1:13:26.386 --> 1:13:29.186
<v Speaker 1>like a proud papa watching Jamiir after I hyped him

1:13:29.226 --> 1:13:31.866
<v Speaker 1>all of August as a number one running back, as

1:13:31.866 --> 1:13:34.386
<v Speaker 1>a fantasy guy, as the person you need to be following,

1:13:34.426 --> 1:13:36.146
<v Speaker 1>as the guy that is going to make the Lions

1:13:36.146 --> 1:13:40.546
<v Speaker 1>a contender out of nowhere. With Montgomery hurt, he gets

1:13:40.546 --> 1:13:43.626
<v Speaker 1>the Lion's share that carries. Finally, and Monday Night's win

1:13:43.666 --> 1:13:46.466
<v Speaker 1>over the Raiders one hundred and eighty nine yards from

1:13:46.466 --> 1:13:50.946
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage jumped into the crowd. Kyle Brandt, my co host

1:13:50.946 --> 1:13:52.986
<v Speaker 1>on Good Morning Football, had a good one. He said,

1:13:52.986 --> 1:13:55.386
<v Speaker 1>that's called the Ford pickup. You know got the Lambeau Leap,

1:13:55.426 --> 1:14:00.106
<v Speaker 1>That's the Ford pickup delivering results. He's our winner this week.

1:14:00.586 --> 1:14:03.106
<v Speaker 1>And that was delivering results by Uber Eats. Where you

1:14:03.146 --> 1:14:06.986
<v Speaker 1>can get almost almost anything, the official on demand delivery

1:14:07.026 --> 1:14:10.746
<v Speaker 1>partner of the NFL order now on behalf of Aaron

1:14:10.826 --> 1:14:14.226
<v Speaker 1>Wan Kaufman on, behalf of the great Dan Patrick On,

1:14:14.306 --> 1:14:18.386
<v Speaker 1>behalf of Jason English, who made his second appearance on

1:14:18.466 --> 1:14:24.026
<v Speaker 1>the Microphones from iHeartRadio. He's a very very very vocal

1:14:24.226 --> 1:14:26.946
<v Speaker 1>part of this podcast in the direction it goes, and

1:14:27.026 --> 1:14:30.026
<v Speaker 1>all in good ways. As far as all the guys

1:14:30.026 --> 1:14:35.066
<v Speaker 1>in LA we meant to say it, Aaron. Oddly enough, Shepherd,

1:14:35.146 --> 1:14:37.506
<v Speaker 1>you did not hold up their end of the bargain.

1:14:37.746 --> 1:14:41.546
<v Speaker 1>They lost. But Arizona, which is the secondary team where

1:14:42.106 --> 1:14:46.666
<v Speaker 1>our executives Jason Kleinman and Matt Schneider are proud alums,

1:14:47.226 --> 1:14:51.866
<v Speaker 1>they did a major upset victory on would they beat

1:14:51.986 --> 1:14:54.986
<v Speaker 1>Washington or was it Oregon State? They beat a massive

1:14:55.386 --> 1:14:58.306
<v Speaker 1>number eleven team, so they did their job. But the

1:14:58.346 --> 1:15:01.586
<v Speaker 1>Shepherd guys and my man Ernie McCook just didn't get

1:15:01.626 --> 1:15:03.266
<v Speaker 1>the job done. So we got one out of two

1:15:04.266 --> 1:15:06.906
<v Speaker 1>this weekend, real quick, Aeron, I think think I might

1:15:06.946 --> 1:15:12.266
<v Speaker 1>go to USC Washington. It's homecoming at USC in Kingsbury.

1:15:12.506 --> 1:15:15.066
<v Speaker 1>Kingsbury invited me to go as a guest to his

1:15:15.786 --> 1:15:18.026
<v Speaker 1>but if I'm being completely honest. I probably am not

1:15:18.106 --> 1:15:23.426
<v Speaker 1>gonna go. Seems like a lot of work. I gotta

1:15:23.986 --> 1:15:25.746
<v Speaker 1>If I go to a college football game, I got

1:15:25.866 --> 1:15:27.626
<v Speaker 1>a drink and then I get to there and it's

1:15:27.666 --> 1:15:29.706
<v Speaker 1>like I'm always constantly checking my phone, Like I want

1:15:29.706 --> 1:15:31.746
<v Speaker 1>to go home. I've got a show in a four

1:15:31.746 --> 1:15:33.906
<v Speaker 1>am wake up. Maybe I'll tell Cliff I'm gonna go

1:15:34.386 --> 1:15:36.346
<v Speaker 1>and I'll just lie to him and watch it on TV.

1:15:36.466 --> 1:15:37.106
<v Speaker 1>How does that sound?

1:15:37.266 --> 1:15:38.586
<v Speaker 2>No, you can't do fat.

1:15:38.746 --> 1:15:40.906
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't know. He's gonna be busy. I don't even

1:15:40.906 --> 1:15:42.786
<v Speaker 1>know what his job is with the USC. He's like

1:15:42.946 --> 1:15:45.426
<v Speaker 1>involved with the offense, but he's not the offensive coordinator.

1:15:45.466 --> 1:15:50.226
<v Speaker 1>He's not the head coach. But not I would only

1:15:50.266 --> 1:15:52.386
<v Speaker 1>go for the pregame and just say hello to him,

1:15:52.386 --> 1:15:53.706
<v Speaker 1>and then I would peace. But I do want to

1:15:53.706 --> 1:15:56.986
<v Speaker 1>see Kayleb Williams warm up and Pennix too. All Right,

1:15:57.026 --> 1:15:59.426
<v Speaker 1>I'm wasting too much time. Thank you everyone for listening.

1:15:59.466 --> 1:16:03.066
<v Speaker 1>It's Halloween. I'm gonna go trick or treat uh enjoy yourselves,

1:16:03.146 --> 1:16:21.226
