WEBVTT - 11/23/21 DPS Hour 3 Ray Liotta 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.880 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Tuesday, Dan and The 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.720 Dan and Stan Patrick Show. People fired up over Hall 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.560 of Fame ballot revealed and also at least the nominees 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.560 to be in the Hall of Fame and Lebron James 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.000 did he get away with something? Get off lightly with 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.360 only a one game suspension. Also, the Buccaneers did what 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.760 we expected the Buccaneers to do. They rolled the Giants 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.440 thirty to ten. Gronk came back in a big way. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.239 Brady throws for over three hundred yards two touchdowns. Lakers 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:39.240 at the Knicks tonight without Lebron James suspended for one game. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.839 We'll get to your phone calls on this and the 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.519 Baseball Hall of Fame eight seven seven three D P 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.200 Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:48.960 handle at dp show, and we'll talk to the great 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:55.520 actor Ray Leota of Goodfellas fame and also Copland. There's 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.480 a new Sopranos movie that he's involved in that too. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.760 He say it's in Newark, Okay, yeah, raising that. I 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.240 think he was up for Tony Soprano's role in the original, 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.480 wasn't he. James Gandolphine's role. Was he up for that, PAULI? 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.480 I had heard an interview with him where he was 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.240 up for a role in The Sopranos back in the day, 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.720 I think in season two, and he I think he 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.640 passed on it because he didn't want to be more 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:26.000 typecast with that. Okay, but he's always a bad guy, 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.360 a tough guy, angry guy. Yeah, Paul. Do you ever 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.560 see that movie narc with Jason Patrick. Yes, ray Leota, 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.200 I wouldn't mess with him in that movie. He's very intimidating. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.000 Yes he is, Yes he is, all right, so he'll 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.600 join us coming up. There's a report in a local 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:49.040 Chicago newspaper and it has to do with Matt Naggie 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.360 being fired and no matter what happens in Detroit and 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.000 Thanksgiving as the Bears head coach. And we'll keep an 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.000 eye on this, but from what I've seen, this is 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.840 the only place where I'm seen it reported, and it 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.840 says Matt Naggie will coach his last game with the 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.080 Bears game on Thanksgiving against Detroit. I did wonder that 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.040 to start the show. If he wins that game in Detroit, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.760 then you got ten days of sort of that speculation 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.520 because they'll have ten days off before their next game. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.280 If they lose the game, then I thought they would 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.560 probably fire Matt Naggie if Detroit wins that game, But 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.240 now it may not matter. So that's something that will 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.040 keep an eye on here. Pull question final hour mclovin. Okay, 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.760 So we put up that MLB Peed Guys Hall of 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.800 Fame poll. Basically, who would you put in? And you 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.519 have choice his Bonds, Clements, a Rod, Sosa, none of 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.640 the above, are all the above, none of the above 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.920 seventy all of the above thirteen percent. Then there's a 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.600 ten percent for Bonds, one percent a Rod, zero point 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.440 zero for Sammy Sosa. Baseball Writers of America revealed their 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.400 Hall of Fame ballot yesterday and it has led to 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.360 some heated debates. A Rod and Big Poppy are on 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.560 the ballot. Say goodbye to Kurt Schilling, Roger Clemens, very Bond, 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.280 Sammy Sosa still holding on. First time on the ballot 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.000 for a Rod and Big Poppy, last time for Shilling, Clemens, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.960 Bonds and Sosa. And when you think about it, we 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.000 don't talk about peeds as much as we used to. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.519 Now that doesn't mean that the athletes don't use them. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.120 It's just hard to imagine the level of scandal that 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.359 would ever reach what it did with Bonds and Clemens 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:31.399 and having players former players go in front of Congress. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.160 Shilling is completely different because he says he doesn't want 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.200 to be voted into the Hall of Fame. I think 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.160 he's a Hall of Famer, but for whatever reason, the 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.560 writers don't want to put him in. If you want 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.839 to factor in his politics and if that goes into 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.400 the criteria of Pro Football Hall of Fame, they are 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:54.040 not supposed to factor in off the field, but they do. 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.840 They did that with Michael Irvin, but they didn't do 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.880 it with Lawrence Taylor, Kurt Schilling off the field. And 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.840 if that's something they're going to hold against him and 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.120 doesn't fit in with the criteria of what they expect 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.240 out of a Baseball Hall of Famer, then you know 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.440 that's the Baseball Writers of America. The pressure of being 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.200 the last year on the ballot could create some surprises 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.120 and maybe cause some really strong reactions whatever the outcome is. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:22.760 And I don't know if you can get on a 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.960 pr campaign if I'm Bonds or Clemens, do I do anything? 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.960 Can I do anything. I don't want to apologize. I 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:37.160 don't want to apologize now, but I'm just curious if 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.920 they could, you know, can you sway enough voters, because 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.880 what did they get this past year? Just over fifty 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.839 seven percent Paulli, Yeah, they're pretty close. And Shilling, I 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.400 think with sixteen votes away he's in the that was 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.279 like two percentile away. Well, you gotta have seventy five 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.919 percent of the vote. But I don't. I thought Bonds 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.760 and Sosa, we're the Bonds in. Do you have it? McLevin, Well, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.640 I got Chilling. You're right, it's seventy one point one percent, 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.919 so he's really close. Bonds got a sixty one point 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:17.440 eight percent, um, Sammy Chosa's seventeen Clements Clemons sixty one 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.160 point six almost identical. Yeah, it feels like if you 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.880 vote Bonds, you vote Clements. If you vote Clements, you 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:30.360 vote bonds. But maybe Schilling gets in, Maybe maybe it 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.760 gets in. And I still go back, and I've said 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.200 this before. You know, it's the history of the game, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.720 and there are some questionable people in the Hall of Fame. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:47.599 It's the history of the game, and I do think 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.080 you can tell the history of the game. Do I 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.680 want Bonds and Clements celebrated. No, I don't. Now. What 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.200 I saw from them was pretty incredible. And yes, I know, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.280 steroids don't help you hit a baseball. They help you 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:08.960 hit a baseball. Fire there, and Barry Bonds was not 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:15.560 a home run hitter. Ben Johnson was already fast. Steroids 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.200 made him the fastest man on the planet. If you're 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.200 good enough to make it to the majors, you can 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.760 put the battle on the ball. Now, if I know 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.719 that you're really good at doing that and I allow 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.520 you to add some more power, well, yes, it's a 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.280 recipe for success. I just I can't honor that if 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:38.600 they put him in the Hall of Fame. They put 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.040 him in the Hall of Fame, like, okay, I move on. No, 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.919 there's no outcry, And I think there was back in 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.120 the nineties, just because I think I was asleep at 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.000 the wheel with a lot of what was going on, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.159 had no idea with Jombi and Maguire, and I was 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.840 friends with them, and I didn't I didn't realize it. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.760 I didn't know what I was looking for. So I 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.120 think there's part of me that's like revisionist history. Like, hey, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.000 if I could have or what would I say, or 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.280 you know, and maybe there's always going to be that 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.160 they shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame because you 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.640 feel like they cheated people like I always feel bad 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.160 for Hank Karon. Hank Aaron is the greatest home run 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.120 hitter of all time, and you know, I never hit 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.760 fifty members, never any questions, one of the great great 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.560 people ever play the game, and Barry Bonds blows by him. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.720 Yeah at home runs, I just didn't. I just didn't 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.080 like it. And I think as a result, we don't 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:40.400 care about numbers anymore in baseball because they became inflated, hollow. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.520 We didn't know what was real or not. I was like, Okay, 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.360 if you hit fifty five, that's almost like you're drawing 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.200 attention to yourself. Yeah, I'm a club. There is an 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.320 annoying analytics argument about this year's class that could bring 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.280 you down with if you'd like, yeah, why don't you 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.800 ruin my dad? Well you probably agree with this one. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.400 So Kurt Chilling, one thing he doesn't happen aside his 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.440 win loss record, But ninety five percent of that reason 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.880 is he was on a terrible Philly team. Like when 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.880 you're two years he led the league in strikeouts and 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.160 barely had a winning record. Nowadays, the baseball people don't 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.160 count wins and losses for pictures when they look at 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.480 cy Young and stuff. Yeah, which is fair. Why is 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.240 a picture so tagged with a win? What if his 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.960 team stinks? I don't even know why wins and losses 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.240 on that one. But you never count like shortstop t 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.560 wins and losses, so I think people would look beyond that. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.720 So that should have helped Shilling because he had a 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.280 million strikeouts in Philly but never won the game. Yeah, 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:37.959 but a picture has more of an impact than a 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.319 shortstop does. Right, But you know, on a lousy team 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.760 like Chilling was fifteen and fourteen one year and led 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.160 the league in strike Well, I know, but I think 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:50.240 the analytics have gone the other extreme. Now you could 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.679 win eleven games and be the cy Young winner, right 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.240 like King Felix. And yeah, but maybe he's you know, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.280 you're a huge guy. I love what he'd us and 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.920 he gets no run support. I have no problem with 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.200 Schilling going in the Hall of Fame, even though I 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.800 don't agree with his politics and he says some really 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:13.080 really stupid and inflammable stuff. But that has nothing to 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.440 do with what I saw in the baseball field, and 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:20.440 that's how I would vote it. Kurt Schilling performed like 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.480 a Hall of Famer and you didn't know any of 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.120 his politics while he was playing, but after the fact, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:34.760 you know that's I'm not a baseball writer. Obviously, We've 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.599 talked to baseball writers. I just try to be objective 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.280 with it. That's all. May not like somebody never got 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.640 along with t O, but I would. He's one of 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:50.640 the great great players of all time. But I think 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.280 when it comes to I'm going to play God. I mean, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.040 I don't envy these writers, certainly the Pro Football Hall 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.840 of Fame. It feels like every year, you know, they 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.960 get introduced the new class, and then we criticize who 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.840 didn't go in in the same with you know, the 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.120 baseball writers. Yeah, I'm the club, all right. Jacob mcgraham 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.680 seventy seven and fifty three for his career, two Cy youngs. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.240 He's close to being a Hall of Famer. He wins 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:20.160 one more Cy Young and in today's standards he might 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.960 be a Hall of Famer. Yes, Hunt, if you felt 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.200 you were deserving of the Hall of Fame, would you, lobby, Fred, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:26.600 would you want to get in that way and go 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.160 on a whole campaign like you're running for office. Wouldn't 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.160 that take away some of the specialness? Wait? Are you 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.840 saying I did that to get into that about something? 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.680 You said? R wow, wow, said lobby, And you're like 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.320 to put a campaign together like Drew Pearson kind of 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.800 threw a fifth and say it to my face. I mean, wow, 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:51.680 you found me out. Yeah, yes, point. The Jacob deGrom 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.800 thing is not to be look at his stats. He's 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.120 his stats, wins, losses. He's an above average pitcher, seventy 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.280 seven fifty three. In the past four years, he has 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.640 thirty three ends. He should have about fifty wins. His 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.400 era the past four years is one in the National 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.439 League one point seven, two point four, two point three, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.520 one point oh this year, even though you know last 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.480 year fifteen starts. Yeah, he's thirty three years old. He 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:14.840 may have to go into the Hall of Fame with 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.800 less than fewer than one hundred wins in his career. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.800 These next two years, it could be really important for 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.600 him going into the Hall of fame. Yes, he Why 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.880 isn't two Cy Young's enough? I don't know it just 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.600 feels like you need a little bit more. How many 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.720 guys who have won two cy Youngs aren't in the 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:34.520 Hall of Fame, Nick Levin? Could we uh first? Letzkham 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.720 had his early, he had his year two in year 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.600 three and they cooled off big time unless you have 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.679 if you had two cy Youngs, but you had a 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.880 lot of other things that went along with that. Kind 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.520 of a glossy one loss record that I could see. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.600 But de Graham doesn't have a lot of wins incredible 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:55.320 you know, walks to innings or strikeouts and ratio and 0:11:55.360 --> 0:12:00.280 whip and all that stuff. But he he might be 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.760 on the border a custom of being a Hall of Famer, Yeah, Pollie. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.160 Kurt Schilling was second in the Young voting twice to 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.000 his teammate Randy Johnson. He had a battle with Randy. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.640 He wasn't his own team at the battle. Chris and Alabama, Hi, Chris, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.640 what's on your mind? How are you this morning? Buddy? 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:23.800 Great hey Man five eleven and a soft two eighties. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:27.960 Dan just wanted to call in and give you a 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.040 couple of points, man, get your opinion on one thing. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.320 First point is as far as classing up the NBA 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.839 It's like putting lipstick on a pig. Not gonna happen. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.960 As far as baseball, man, everybody loved shilling. I think 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.000 the sports writers are a lot of the reason why, 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.720 and bringing into the politics is why baseball is falling 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.240 off with the viewership over the last couple of decades. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.199 I mean, if you look at the TV ratings that 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.199 only goes up during October. It's definitely not the days 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.640 of Reggie Jackson and Dale Murphy and so forth when 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.640 baseball was great. You know, it's not Kurt Schilly politics. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.079 As you said, that was out there hurling those balls 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.880 one hundred miles and hours consistently. You know, it was 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.920 his his athletic ability, and it just, you know, and 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.240 inflamed me so much that I don't even hardly watch 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.480 baseball anymore. But just wanted to get your opinion on 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.040 what's going to happen with the playoff picks tonight. What 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.400 order you think is going to be in what chance 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.560 Alabama really does have? Just want to say, roll tied 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.600 and for ray Leo to coming up. He's a funny guy. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.640 Thank you, Chris. That's Chris and Alabama.

No, I 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.760 had a couple of magical years there in Kansas City? 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.840 Is an injustice? Yeah? Is Clayton Kershawn? Got two cy Youngs?

Yeah, honestly one And was 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:07.160 in seventh grade and I was two grammar schools were 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:12.040 folded into the junior high school and some kid we 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.520 were arguing about. I think it was something stupid as 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.240 who had the better food in the grammar schools, and 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.440 we went I went down to the house because everybody 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:26.120 knew there was a fight and I won it. But 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.320 but you appear to be a tough guy and a 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.360 lot of your roles, you're a tough guy. Are you 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.920 a tough guy? Tough? And what went? No? No? Really? 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.560 So the people as like I said, I've only been 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.680 in one fight. You must be a great actor then 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.360 to act tough. Act now you hit it. Hey, let 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.440 me ask you something. They kept wanting me to remove 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.280 the cup, the coffee cup, the orange juice, the water. 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.840 You got eighteen things up there Who's who's the guy 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.640 in the red that's got his hand up? That is 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.879 Lou Holtz, the former Notre Dame in Arkansas. Headcain. You 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:09.040 can put whatever you want up there, Ray, I don't care. No, 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:14.720 I'm joking. No, I'm not joking. What do people say 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.640 to you on a daily basis depending on where you are? 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.280 What do you get on the street? Uh, you're the 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:26.240 best looking actor that I've ever seen in my life. No, no, no, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.560 I don't either do do'll either just say hello? Or 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.240 for a while it was you're a funny guy. Uh, 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.640 it's not a bad price today. But you know it's 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.960 one of those where you're some actors are known for 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.040 a role and then you try to escape the role 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.840 a little bit or try to do something different. How 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:51.360 tough is that? Sure? Now you see the tough guy 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:57.280 comes Jay h. My first movie was a movie Something Wild, 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.560 and I played a mediac and I would read and 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.800 I until I was thirty years old. That's what I 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.760 did my first movie. Uh. I forgot the question again 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.440 about you try to distance yourself from you know. Yeah, 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.320 So after something while, I did the movie Dominic and 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.679 You Jamee with Tom Holt, which was a beautiful I 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.800 was a medical uh student that I had to move 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:24.000 to Stanford but my brother who was brain damage and 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.640 we find out later that was because of physical abuse. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.560 But I had to leave. It was a really beautiful story. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.679 And and in Field of Dreams, I didn't like Hit 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:38.199 Kevin with the Bat that was a nice one. I 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:43.200 did a couple of Muppet movies. So what kind of 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:50.480 athlete were you? I was okay. I played soccer and basketball, 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.600 but the soccer, uh, I think I was better at 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.879 But I never just went to a high school and 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:04.840 that was it. Did you audition for Field of Dreams? No? No, 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.320 I think they just brought me in and I think 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.680 it was just an out and out offer. I think 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.920 how long were you in Iowa? Did you see? You 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.960 must have seen the game that they played on the field. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.600 That was beautiful. They really really did a good job. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.320 So what did you ask me? Again? How long were 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:34.960 you in Iowa? Probably two months, maybe a little more. 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:43.080 It was beautiful. Have you watched that movie? No? I've 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:50.520 never seen it. I haven't. Do you not watch your movies? 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:53.960 Not a lot of them, I mean a lot of 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.280 a lot of them. Might don't uh do it h 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.679 I mean obviously Fellows and maybe a couple of others, 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.359 but in general, I probably have more movies than I 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:10.440 haven't seen. But can you watch now that you're further 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.879 removed from it, watch the watch a movie? Yeah that 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:20.480 you're in. No, we Sometimes I'm changing channels and oh 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.440 I was in that one, and it just kept the 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:27.800 keeps going on. Well, I wondered, because some you know, 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:33.000 you sit and listen to yourself talk. I don't. I 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.479 don't listen to the replay of the show. Yeah, all right, 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.600 see what are they saying? Well, it's that I used 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.520 to when I did Sports Center, the show would be over, 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.000 I'd get the tape and I'd watch the entire Sports 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.960 Center and look at all the things I didn't do 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:52.280 well or right. And were you in the beginning of that. No, 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:58.040 I got there. I was ten years in so, uh, 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.840 nineteen eighty nine, that's when I got time. But yeah, 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.679 they started in the early eighties with Chris Berman and company. 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:10.399 But yeah, I got there late nine, late eighties. But 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.919 I would analyze everything I was doing, and then it 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.560 was defeating the purpose. So I wasn't looking at what 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.359 I did well. I would I would look at what 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.560 I didn't do well, And I didn't know if that's 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.080 what would you be doing that? Would you be critical 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.879 of yourself if you're watching? Oh yeah, totally. It's all 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.440 about lighting. If I'm not looking good, I'm done. As 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.760 a matter of fact, I tell you I'm not joking. 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.520 You know. They tell you like I moved your left, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.320 move to your right, and I said, guys, just tell me, 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.560 like when the light the lighting is better over there 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:45.239 than here, and I'm moving a second just because you 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.359 know that you're going to look good. Totally. Yeah, And 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:50.520 I noticed she wore the blue shirt because of the 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.520 blue eyes. I mean, come on, that's smart move. That's 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:58.439 a veteran move by you. Right now. Little did I know? 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:03.800 All right, if you weren't an actor, you would have 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:08.320 been a musician. I was just talking last night with 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:16.080 my fiance J C. H a cop or a musician, 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.200 like someone who knows how to play guitar. I played 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:22.960 guitar like a thousand years ago, and I just didn't 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.680 take it. I just found it. It wasn't for me. 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.720 And then you, like Copland, did you embrace that sort 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.040 of feel? You know that? Yeah? I used to do 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:39.040 right along with with with the cops. Uh. One guy 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:40.920 was a sergeant. In the first call we had to 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.399 go on. It turned out there was a body part 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:47.320 because something blew up in this person's house. So I've 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:51.960 done that. I I researched a lot. In the beginning 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.760 Good Fellows, I had a guy who was in it, 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.560 or claimed that he was in it. He actually was. 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.600 What else did I do? I've watched autopic. I did 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.840 a movie where I played a heart surgeon, and I 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.720 just sat back and watched them just what they do, 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.680 just to get the Uh. The doctor said, you've been 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.320 here all the time. You want to come up here 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:19.000 and see what we're doing. And I said yeah, and 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:23.680 what what? The woman's chest was wide open and they 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.200
