Speaker 2: of that's available at dan patrick dot com. All right,
Speaker 2: poll question for the final hour. If you want to
Speaker 2: recap some of the other pole questions you can. Why not?
Speaker 3: Okay, let's see this is how many games should dreamon?
Speaker 3: Green Bee suspended? Right now? Fifty one percent of the
Speaker 3: audience say ten plus. What do you think of? Is
Speaker 3: that a lot?
Speaker 2: Is that many feels like it? I mean it wasn't
Speaker 2: choke hold on Rudy Gobert, no punches, but it was
Speaker 2: a choke hold. I mean I would put him down
Speaker 2: for maybe five reduce it to three. I mean, we're
Speaker 2: going to revisit this topic with Draymond at some point
Speaker 2: during the season. So if you don't get him now,
Speaker 2: you don't get him some other time. What else do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 3: We also have up there more to blame for the
Speaker 3: Bill's struggles, and we have the players, the coordinators, the
Speaker 3: head coach, or ownership. Right now fifty one percent of
Speaker 3: that one also have the players? Okay, how about that?
Speaker 3: Followed by the head coach, coordinators barely getting any and
Speaker 3: ownership not really nothing.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's a suggestion for all of the people in
Speaker 2: the media who love Deon Sanders. Stop speculating that he
Speaker 2: should go to Texas A and M, because you're actually
Speaker 2: hurting him with his recruiting. You have two recruits, four
Speaker 2: star recruits who have backed out of their commitment with
Speaker 2: Colorado because they're not quite sure is Dion going to
Speaker 2: be there next year? So if you want Neon to succeed,
Speaker 2: don't put things out there like he could end up
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys or end up with Texas A and
Speaker 2: M unless it's real. But a lot of this stuff
Speaker 2: attached to Deon Sanders and what people have said has
Speaker 2: not been you know, real, has been true. And Dion
Speaker 2: even said, look, I'm not going anywhere. I got my kids.
Speaker 2: They're going to be back here next year unless they
Speaker 2: get some kind of waiver from the NC Double A.
Speaker 2: But the NC DOUBLEA is busy with other things. They
Speaker 2: may not have time, they can't multitask. They're probably you know,
Speaker 2: struggling to keep up with Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 5: Yes, Pum that said, if I'm A and M, I say, Dion,
Speaker 5: bring the kids, bring them all with you. Bring the kids,
Speaker 5: bring the cousins, let's.
Speaker 2: Go speaking to college football. The PAC twelve is now
Speaker 2: the PAC two. It's Oregon State and Washington State. But
Speaker 2: I love the story. I've been following the story because
Speaker 2: I want to know what happens. Can the PAC twelve
Speaker 2: still exist? Can they still have the opportunity to play
Speaker 2: in a you know, be an automatic bid and win it,
Speaker 2: you know, be part of the national championship picture adding
Speaker 2: teams there. John Canzano, longtime Oregon columnist and you can
Speaker 2: find him at Johnkenzano dot com, has been following the
Speaker 2: story as well. All right, So what happened in the
Speaker 2: newsroom or right, I should say courtroom of you know,
Speaker 2: with the PAC twelve, with the Oregon State and Washington State.
Speaker 6: Well, it was really interesting to be in there because
Speaker 6: you have this small town feel in Colfax, less than
Speaker 6: three thousand people there. You've got the judge's wife sitting
Speaker 6: over in the jury box. You got former Washington State
Speaker 6: coach Jim Walton sitting next to her, their family friends,
Speaker 6: they had lunch together before the hearing. So there's all
Speaker 6: this this really folksy stuff going on in the courtroom.
Speaker 6: And then you have these attorneys that are making six
Speaker 6: hundred dollars an hour. Who were you know, it's like
Speaker 6: fifteen attorneys that are in the room and they're in
Speaker 6: a tuggle war over the board seats. In the PAC
Speaker 6: twelve conference, in the judge Judge Liby Gary Lebey, he
Speaker 6: ultimately ruled that the actions of the board in the
Speaker 6: last year, you know, they kicked UCLA and USC off
Speaker 6: the board when they announced they were going to the
Speaker 6: Big ten. They kicked Colorado off when they said they
Speaker 6: were going to the Big twelve. He said, hey, that
Speaker 6: action matters. That's how you acted. And he, you know,
Speaker 6: yesterday awarded the two board seats to Oregon State and
Speaker 6: Washington State. Now there's going to be appeals. They're going
Speaker 6: to file a you know, a motion with the state
Speaker 6: Supreme Court today. The departing ten schools will file that motion.
Speaker 6: They're going to ask for a stay of the judge's
Speaker 6: temporary restraining order, and they're going to try to find
Speaker 6: some more favorable terrain to argue this case. They'll probably
Speaker 6: go to the to Olympia, the state capitol there in Washington.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. What do you think the PAC twel is going
Speaker 2: to look like?
Speaker 6: Well, I think ultimately Orey State and Washington State. They
Speaker 6: want to rebuild this thing. You know, the president at
Speaker 6: Washington State was in the courtroom. Two athletic directors were
Speaker 6: in the courtroom. They want to get busy rebuilding it.
Speaker 6: And the ten departing schools are really stalling this out.
Speaker 6: They know the transfer portal window is December fourth, they
Speaker 6: know that's kind of a drop dead moment, and so
Speaker 6: I think they're really trying to squeeze those two schools
Speaker 6: because they departing schools want all the money. They want
Speaker 6: to take their share of the money. They want to
Speaker 6: dissolve the conference. You know, there's four hundred and twenty
Speaker 6: million dollars in revenue coming in this year this fiscal year.
Speaker 6: There's about another one hundred and seventy coming in in
Speaker 6: future years. So there's a lot of money at stake here.
Speaker 6: Oory State and Washington State want to use that money
Speaker 6: to rebuild the departing schools want to take their share
Speaker 6: and be done with it.
Speaker 7: And so that's really what this is about.
Speaker 2: Okay, you need a new commissioner for the PAC twelve
Speaker 2: or whatever it's going to be called, and you need
Speaker 2: a TV deal. So the likelihood of all of that
Speaker 2: happening here before next season. I guess the commissioner would
Speaker 2: be the easy part about the TV deal. How attractive
Speaker 2: would that be?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they have to buy some time, you know,
Speaker 6: and I talked there's two paths really for orient State
Speaker 6: Washington State. I don't think they try to do this
Speaker 6: in you know, twenty twenty four. I think what they
Speaker 6: try to do is next season they're going to play
Speaker 6: as a conference of two's. That's I keep hearing that
Speaker 6: over and over. And the two paths that are available
Speaker 6: to them are a they put together a twelve game schedule,
Speaker 6: they try to live off the media rights, money and
Speaker 6: what they win in this court case for the next
Speaker 6: couple of years, and then they really focus on twenty
Speaker 6: twenty five. The alternate path. If they're not able to
Speaker 6: put together a schedule, and I'm told that they already
Speaker 6: have modeled that they have, you know, they could successfully
Speaker 6: put together a twelve game schedule, but the more favorable
Speaker 6: one might just be to create a scheduling partnership or
Speaker 6: an alliance with the Mountain West Conference play some of
Speaker 6: those schools in twenty twenty five. There's still a whole
Speaker 6: bunch of other schools out there like Utah, cal and
Speaker 6: Stanford who are looking for games. I think you could
Speaker 6: pick up some Power five games. But I don't know
Speaker 6: You're right about the TV money. I don't know what
Speaker 6: that deal could look like in twenty twenty four. But
Speaker 6: that's why the money that's wrapped up in the conference
Speaker 6: and in this court proceeding is so important because Oregon
Speaker 6: State Washington State are going to have to live off
Speaker 6: of that for about eighteen to twenty four months.
Speaker 2: But then legally, if you restructure the PAC twelve, but
Speaker 2: it's called the PAC twelve, can you still get the
Speaker 2: automatic berth the winner of the PAC twelve, you know,
Speaker 2: playing for a national championship.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a really important question, and I think there's
Speaker 6: a debate to be had there, and there may be
Speaker 6: in a negotiation. You know, Kirk Schultz, the president Washington State,
Speaker 6: is on that council. He holds a vote in that
Speaker 6: decision on that President's Council, so I think he could
Speaker 6: leverage that. I think really though too. The other thing
Speaker 6: I've heard is, you know, if you do cobble together
Speaker 6: the PAC twelve and you bring it back and you
Speaker 6: keep the brand, and I think they will do that.
Speaker 6: You could argue that if they add the right schools
Speaker 6: dan that it becomes the best group of five and
Speaker 6: that conference champion in most years probably gets a berth anyway,
Speaker 6: even though it's not automatic. So you know, this is
Speaker 6: about you know, I keep hearing this over and over
Speaker 6: from Washington State and Oregon State. It's about survival in
Speaker 6: the next two years and then what happens to college
Speaker 6: football and can their brands and their success on the
Speaker 6: football field help them be part of whatever comes next.
Speaker 2: We know that Colorado needs to have six wins according
Speaker 2: to the PAC twelve guidelines to be bull eligible. Well,
Speaker 2: if the regular season ends and they have five wins,
Speaker 2: are they still affiliated with the PAC twelve? Is the
Speaker 2: foot like? Can they? Are they already seceding from the union?
Speaker 2: Now they're in limbo. Now they could go to a
Speaker 2: bowl game with only five wins, not the requisite six.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think the love language of college athletics is always
Speaker 6: going to be money. I think if Colorado can justify
Speaker 6: that there is a win fall that the conference would
Speaker 6: share in because technically nobody's leaving until August one of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, if they could convince the conference Hey,
Speaker 6: there's a winfall here.
Speaker 7: There's a network that's willing to pay.
Speaker 6: There's a ball game that's willing to pay for colorad
Speaker 6: Rotto to be part of it, which there should be.
Speaker 6: I think that the board now made of two could
Speaker 6: get together and say, hey, we're we would lower that
Speaker 6: requirement in a five team win.
Speaker 7: You know, a five win team could get into a
Speaker 7: Bowl game.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you, John, Thanks for following this story.
Speaker 7: Thanks Dan.
Speaker 2: That's John Canzano, longtime Oregon columnist radio host. You can
Speaker 2: follow him at John Quinzano dot com. Yeah, money is
Speaker 2: the great elixir there, because there's gonna be a bowl
Speaker 2: that's gonna want There will be a few Bowl games
Speaker 2: that would love to have Deon Sanders, Colorado pac twelve
Speaker 2: pack two. Can you kind of stitch something together, cobble
Speaker 2: it together, and then maybe you have something here in
Speaker 2: the next year or so two years. All right, we'll
Speaker 2: get phone calls coming up if you're just joining us.
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson is done for the year. He suffered a
Speaker 2: broken bone in his shoulder, and they have the Browns
Speaker 2: and the Steelers are coming up with the steel Des
Speaker 2: coming to town. They are getting four and a half
Speaker 2: at least they were the spreads. Now the Browns giving
Speaker 2: two After the Deshaun Watson story. So he has a
Speaker 2: fractured shoulder and its season ending surgery he has done,
Speaker 2: and I started to look at the number of games
Speaker 2: that Deshaun Watson has played in his career. Twenty seventeen
Speaker 2: missed nine games due to injury, twenty eighteen didn't miss
Speaker 2: a game, twenty nineteen missed two games due to injury,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty missed one game due to injury, twenty twenty
Speaker 2: one sat out all seventeen games voluntarily while healthy, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two missed eleven games due to the NFL suspension.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three, he is going to miss eleven games
Speaker 2: due to injury. Total miss games in seven years is
Speaker 2: fifty one games. Total games played in those seven seasons
Speaker 2: is sixty six. By the end of this season, Deshaun
Speaker 2: Watson will have played in just over fifty seven percent
Speaker 2: of the possible games in a seven season run. By
Speaker 2: the way, the total pay up to this point, including
Speaker 2: this season, is one hundred and forty two million dollars.
Speaker 2: Guess what he's doing over the next three seasons before
Speaker 2: taxas of course, one and thirty eight million dollars guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Ouch ouch seems like a stat of the day to me,
Speaker 2: Marvin who Stall of a.
Speaker 7: Day, Stan of a day, start of a day, scant
Speaker 7: outa day.
Speaker 6: This is the Stele of the day.

Speaker 2: has has did some research on this and he's got
Speaker 2: some really rare, rare items here. Baseball signed by the
Speaker 2: Beatles after the nineteen sixty two performance at Chase Stadium. Also,
Speaker 2: I think the final out of both of Johnny Vandermere's
Speaker 2: back to back no hitters, the only pitcher who's ever
Speaker 2: had back to back no hitters, and Getty Lee has
Speaker 2: the final out of both of those no hitters. So

Speaker 2: Mel in New York. Kai, Mel, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hi?
Speaker 10: Dan, first time, long time, five to seven and a
Speaker 10: solid one ninety five. Thank you very much, boy, that's
Speaker 10: music to my ears. A question for you, actually two questions. One,
Speaker 10: you have such a great collection of items in your
Speaker 10: man cave. Have you ever thought of doing a show
Speaker 10: putting it on a DVD of know what you have
Speaker 10: in the man cave and maybe the backstory as to
Speaker 10: how you got it?
Speaker 2: Or I think I did that. I did that a
Speaker 2: web video. I think the French Kid came in and
Speaker 2: we kind of went around and I pointed out things
Speaker 2: when I got them, how I got them, what they
Speaker 2: mean to me. I mean, I got you know, things
Speaker 2: that are normal with a lot of collectors, Brett Farve, Jersey,
Speaker 2: Dan Marino autograph Jersey, Barry Sanders, Wayne Gretzky, Reggie Miller,
Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant, some of the jerseys are personalized, Tom Brady,
Speaker 2: Buccaneers Jersey personalized. So there's quite a few of those,
Speaker 2: the normal things. But then I collect everything. I have
Speaker 2: every press pass that you know, from when I was
Speaker 2: working at CNN, so every press pass I kept when
Speaker 2: I would go to these events, and that's starting in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two, eighty three, I got like Celtic's Lakers,
Speaker 2: Boston Garden, NBA Finals, Bird and Magic Jordan's retirement. There
Speaker 2: was a press pass that you know, they're just like
Speaker 2: I collected everything and I put them on the doors
Speaker 2: around here, so there's there's just a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: here now. The Danis they turned on me last hour
Speaker 2: and they called me a hoarder. And Satan said that
Speaker 2: I have a problem, and uh, well, I think Fritzy
Speaker 2: jumped in too that I have a problem. But it's
Speaker 2: a problem that I gladly have and not worried about it.
Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone suggested you should be worried.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, somebody said maybe I need some help.
Speaker 2: Somebody somebody suggested.
Speaker 3: I think youth positive, that do I need help?
Speaker 2: And then you guys said, yes, you asked the do I.
Speaker 3: Need an intervention? Those are all things that so maybe
Speaker 3: there's some type of deep seated concerns in your head
Speaker 3: that not at all.
Speaker 4: The first step and knowing you have a problem is
Speaker 4: asking for help, right, And.
Speaker 11: There are worse problems to have in the world. So
Speaker 11: you know what, you got a little hoarding your shree
Speaker 11: what's the big deal?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I wake up every day and I go, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm a horror I could be Fritzy.
Speaker 8: I feel that what you do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel a lot better.
Speaker 3: God, he's just reacting.
Speaker 8: That's what he does. He's like, Yeah, it calls me,
Speaker 8: mister sensitive.
Speaker 3: No, he's lasting out, he's lashing out. Don't take it
Speaker 3: purs I'm sensitive.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, mister back row there where you got your
Speaker 2: soccer scarves where you're trying to hide Fritzie's face from
Speaker 2: your view.
Speaker 8: This is what he's doing.
Speaker 3: Look at what I've done, Todd. I've left it perfectly perfect.
Speaker 8: All the scarves are off to the side so we
Speaker 8: can we have clear view.
Speaker 3: We just have the ability to.
Speaker 2: Feel about that.
Speaker 3: Sounds a little bit.
Speaker 2: I like to see a smiling doesn't hurt your feelings.
Speaker 8: Most things hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2: I went in the back most things. I went in
Speaker 2: the back. The big German is there, and uh, you
Speaker 2: know picture Da Ray is making a little miniature hot
Speaker 2: dogs there, of course, and I caught Fritzy going in there.
Speaker 11: I'm hovering over the girl and I like these guys.
Speaker 11: I'm like, ever since they put the grill, and I'm
Speaker 11: making all these visits to.
Speaker 2: Say, hey, he didn't want me to see that he
Speaker 2: was going to have a miniature hot dog. You can
Speaker 2: have it. I don't care. I'm not your mom. You're
Speaker 2: a food hider, is what you are.
Speaker 11: I do because I know the cameras and everything, and
Speaker 11: the last thing I want to be is in the
Speaker 11: morning meeting video.
Speaker 2: Even when you go home, you stop at Jersey Mikes.
Speaker 2: You don't have anything while you're here, and then it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, Fritzy not eating anything, Well, you don't eat
Speaker 2: until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 11: Next thing you know, it's like two medium pizzas in
Speaker 11: a mountain to Why am I so hungry because you
Speaker 11: didn't eat since like ten pm the night before.
Speaker 8: It's the problem.
Speaker 2: I have problems too, so we all have a problem.
Speaker 2: I like how one of the backroom guys followed Fritzy
Speaker 2: one time from the man Cave just to see what
Speaker 2: fast food place he still.
Speaker 8: Trust anybody here?
Speaker 4: This is what it is.
Speaker 2: What Well, they weren't trying to they just saw him
Speaker 2: and then they followed him, and then he pulled into
Speaker 2: Jersey Mikes.
Speaker 4: I wonder who as signed that job.
Speaker 8: People taking their cell phones out.
Speaker 3: To be fair, Todd isn't really exactly given a moment's
Speaker 3: peace while he's here, So I don't blame him for
Speaker 3: one not wanting to eat.
Speaker 2: Here said thank you, shut the Toddler.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to eat a sandwich.
Speaker 2: Did Todd do that to mcleven? Hey, McLevin, what do

Speaker 12: thing when I was growing up, and we saw a
Speaker 12: lot of Tigers games, and I believe the Toronto maple
Speaker 12: leafe ball team that was located in Toronto with the
Speaker 12: International League team, I think they were the farm club
Speaker 12: of the Tigers for a while, and one or two
Speaker 12: games I managed to sneak downtown and watch when I
Speaker 12: was really young. I think even Sparky Anderson was on
Speaker 12: that club, so I had a familiarity with guys like
Speaker 12: al Caline, norm Cash. You know, that was a great era.
Speaker 12: And of course Mickey Mantle and Roger Merris were the
Speaker 12: thing when I was a kid too, so I was
Speaker 12: fans of them as well.
Speaker 2: First piece of memorabilia you remember buying was what.
Speaker 11: It was a.
Speaker 12: It was a photograph of Satchel Page that was signed
Speaker 12: by him, and I bought that at the same time
Speaker 12: as a photograph of the shot signed by Bobby Thompson.
Speaker 12: Those two pieces. I was walking through a memorabilia store
Speaker 12: and I didn't collect that stuff yet, and so I
Speaker 12: saw these two pieces and I thought, well, though, they
Speaker 12: would look really cool hanging in my office.
Speaker 2: But then it becomes an addiction. Yes, right, when did
Speaker 2: you realize that it was out of hand last year.
Speaker 12: Okay, it's been out of hand for quite a while.
Speaker 12: It's my nature.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 12: The problem I have is not that I'm a borderline
Speaker 12: hoarder or that I'm a passionate collector, is that I
Speaker 12: have this kind of completest attitude to collecting. So for example,
Speaker 12: when I started collecting no Hitter balls, well I had
Speaker 12: to have every No Hitter ball that I could possibly find.
Speaker 4: And so.
Speaker 12: It's that part of the illness that has caused me
Speaker 12: to have so much stuff that I couldn't even display
Speaker 12: at all.
Speaker 2: So, you know, we used to be a collector was
Speaker 2: pretty good, and then they started labeling us hoarders, yes,
Speaker 2: and then it became a negative. So I have a
Speaker 2: man cave full of stuff and just stuff that I've
Speaker 2: collected when I was at ESPN, and you know, probably
Speaker 2: forty years worth. But I had this huge building that
Speaker 2: I can put it in. Do you have a big
Speaker 2: building that you have all of this stuff in or
Speaker 2: did you know did you run out of space?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 12: I ran out of space.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 12: I have incredible office at home where I displayed all
Speaker 12: my favorite pieces, and I couldn't really display them. All
Speaker 12: I had boxes and boxes of wonderful pieces that I'd
Speaker 12: completely forgotten about. And uh, and then when I started
Speaker 12: collecting bass vintage based guitars, I had a real problem.
Speaker 12: I had a critical mass issue at my phone.
Speaker 2: So how many? How many guitars did you have?
Speaker 8: About?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 8: Entred fifteen?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And you collected from bands like other artists, not so much.
Speaker 12: I was just interested in in vintage pieces, rare pieces,
Speaker 12: a lot of a lot from what I call the
Speaker 12: Golden age of guitar making, which was the late fifth
Speaker 12: these early sixties. And you know, again being a completist,
Speaker 12: I had to have one of each brand, even obscure
Speaker 12: Italian brands that were made and not many seen on
Speaker 12: this side of the world.
Speaker 2: What's the most you spent on a piece of memorabilia.
Speaker 12: Guitar or baseball?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 12: I don't know, over one hundred grand I have spent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got uniforms, You got uniforms as well,
Speaker 2: bats as well.
Speaker 12: Yeah. I really tried to focus on single signed baseballs
Speaker 12: or game used baseballs. But you know, it's also fascinating
Speaker 12: to me that sometimes in a bat like I have
Speaker 12: a bat that might have been used by Joe Jackson,
Speaker 12: but it's one of his signature bats, and how do
Speaker 12: you not try to grab that if you're a collector.
Speaker 12: I have a lot of personal memorabilia that I would
Speaker 12: never part with for my collection, and stuff like I
Speaker 12: have Bill Lee's uniform the day that he freaked out
Speaker 12: in the Montreal Expos clubhouse because Rodney Scott had been traded.
Speaker 12: He took off his exposed uniform, tore it up, and
Speaker 12: then head headed to the bar across the street to
Speaker 12: have a few pints, and Jim Fanning picked up, who
Speaker 12: is the manager of the Expos at the time. He
Speaker 12: picked up the uniform and kept it all these years.
Speaker 12: And I got to know Jim through Larry Walker, who's
Speaker 12: a friend of mine and really nice family, and they
Speaker 12: allowed me to purchase it from them for my collection.
Speaker 12: But that's something that's so special because I'm a Canadian
Speaker 12: and because I was at the Expos, were my first
Speaker 12: real passionate love.
Speaker 2: I have an autograph baseball from Joe Carter and Mitch
Speaker 2: Williams on a World Series baseball they both signed that
Speaker 2: year that they I don't know what it's worth, but
Speaker 2: I I visited both of them that off season after
Speaker 2: Joe hit the home run, and I asked Joe if
Speaker 2: he would sign it, and then Mitch signed it as well.
Speaker 2: But what struck me, though, Getty, is I asked Joe
Speaker 2: Carter where the home run ball was and he said,
Speaker 2: right there in the kitchen. So I open up a
Speaker 2: kitchen drawer and the ball rules out and I go,
Speaker 2: that's one of the most famous baseballs in history. He goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I gave it to my wife it was It
Speaker 2: wasn't in a trophy case. It was in a junk drawer.
Speaker 12: Well, you know that's this is you know, he played
Speaker 12: the game, so to him, it's just a tool of
Speaker 12: the trade. You know, sometimes it's like that. I have
Speaker 12: memorabilia from rush passes and things from important gigs and shows,
Speaker 12: and you know they're just collecting in some drawer or something.
Speaker 12: So I understand that feeling, whereas if it was from baseball,
Speaker 12: for me, that would be just sacrisanct. You know, you've
Speaker 12: got to put it in a special place.
Speaker 2: You have a baseball signed by the Beatles.
Speaker 12: I do, yeah, and that's not Beatles. Yeah, at Shay Stadium,
Speaker 12: at that gig, the famous gig they did at Shay Stadium.
Speaker 12: In the sixties.
Speaker 2: What do you think that'll go for.
Speaker 12: I have no idea, but it could go very high.
Speaker 12: It could very well be one of the highest selling
Speaker 12: items in the sale.
Speaker 2: What are the top end items you think as far
Speaker 2: as this auction at Christie's.
Speaker 12: Well, it's hard for me to guess. I'm so close
Speaker 12: to these things and I've had so many of them
Speaker 12: for decades. But the Beatles ball, for sure. I think
Speaker 12: that some of the presidential stuff, especially the John Kennedy
Speaker 12: first pitch nineteen sixty one. I mean, that's an amazing ball.
Speaker 12: I was very fortunate to acquire, and in fact, I
Speaker 12: was very fortunate to acquire a few John Kennedy signed baseballs.
Speaker 12: In fact, in nineteen sixty one he was He's one
Speaker 12: of the few presidents that threw a first pitch out
Speaker 12: of both teams. Now that's a Democrat.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 12: There's some other great things. I have Johnny Vandermere's final
Speaker 12: outs from his back to back no hitters. That's pretty
Speaker 12: Darren special.
Speaker 2: See that one is wild. We'll never have that again.
Speaker 2: And the fact that you got the final out on
Speaker 2: both of those no hitters.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I might have to have them both, you know.
Speaker 12: It's the same with the Kennedy sixty one sign balls.
Speaker 12: Once I bought the first one that's also signed by
Speaker 12: Lyndon Johnson, many many years ago, and I thought it
Speaker 12: was the only one, and then up pops this other
Speaker 12: one on for sale and it's the other team, and
Speaker 12: I thought, well, this has got to be a fake
Speaker 12: because I have the original one. But it turns out
Speaker 12: he did, in fact throw two pitches out that day.
Speaker 2: We're talking to Geddy Lee. Are you still introduced as
Speaker 2: the lead singer of Rush?
Speaker 12: That's what I'm kind of known for lead singers the Rush.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but last time I talked to you, that was
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. You said you were done.
Speaker 2: It's probably six years ago. But so are you all
Speaker 2: done well?
Speaker 12: Rush? You know, Neil Peared, our drummer, retired in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 12: and sadly he suffered from glioblastoma for a few years
Speaker 12: and he passed away in twenty twenty. So Rush as
Speaker 12: a unit of Neil, Alex and myself of course was
Speaker 12: over in twenty fifteen. Whether I will play again in
Speaker 12: some form, that's very possible. I leave myself quite open
Speaker 12: to that. I just finished a two year epic writing
Speaker 12: my memoir which is coming out today as a matter
Speaker 12: of fact, and that was a great distraction and a
Speaker 12: real cathartic process for me. But now that that's done,
Speaker 12: I'm kind of anxious to get back to my day
Speaker 12: job and see if I can write some music that
Speaker 12: people still care about.
Speaker 2: My f and life. That is the engrossing tale of
Speaker 2: a classic underachiever who became a rock and roll Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame vocalist, bassist, and keyboard player. It's like somebody
Speaker 2: wrote that for me, Getty. But you guys aren't known
Speaker 2: for being like the Stones in the South of France
Speaker 2: when they were doing Exile on Main Street, Like you
Speaker 2: weren't going crazy as a party band, were you.
Speaker 12: Well, no, we flew under the radar, you see, because
Speaker 12: we didn't have any mainstream media attention.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 12: We were kind of a cult band, like the world's
Speaker 12: most popular cult band, and so whatever transgressions we happened
Speaker 12: to get involved in, you know.
Speaker 2: Remained quiet.
Speaker 12: So I found it in my heart to share some
Speaker 12: of those crazy in my book that some people I
Speaker 12: think might be a little surprised to read.
Speaker 2: Did you give me the band you partied with one time?
Speaker 2: And lived to tell about it.
Speaker 12: Oh, I remember a fantastic number of nights with the
Speaker 12: band UFO when they were touring with us and we
Speaker 12: had I remember some of the guys in Thin Lizzie
Speaker 12: challenging us to a Scotch drinking contest. And be very
Speaker 12: careful when you challenge a Canadian to a drinking contest,
Speaker 12: because we're a hearty breed up. So yeah, And there's
Speaker 12: a time we had a party at the end of
Speaker 12: a Kiss tour where the drummer of Kiss ended up
Speaker 12: throwing a giant potted palm over a balcony out and
Speaker 12: God thankfully no one was hit. And so there are
Speaker 12: a few stories. And then there are some self contained
Speaker 12: stories about one time in Manchester, England, when Alex had
Speaker 12: challenged our six foot eleven stage manager to a Kognac
Speaker 12: drinking contest. Now that is not advisable because Cognac is
Speaker 12: a sipping brew, right, you don't do shots of that.
Speaker 12: That is a very funny tale. I have to say
Speaker 12: a bit too long, and you know, censored to share here.
Speaker 2: I love you man with Paul Rudd and Jason Siegel.
Speaker 2: When you first heard about what they were doing, what
Speaker 2: was your reaction and what your role would be in that.
Speaker 12: Well, we were coming out of a time. You have
Speaker 12: to remember, we had just sort of survived a five
Speaker 12: year hiatus where Neil had had some terrible tragedies in
Speaker 12: his life and we were not sure that he would
Speaker 12: come back to the band, but he did, thankfully for
Speaker 12: the world of Rush fans and for me personally. And
Speaker 12: so when we embarked on that tour, we were of
Speaker 12: a completely different mindset. Things that we would normally say
Speaker 12: no to out of hand, we now decided, you know,
Speaker 12: like that famous Seinfeld episode, if you know every instinct
Speaker 12: you have is wrong, then the opposite must be right.
Speaker 12: So we just started saying yes to everything. And John
Speaker 12: Hamberg had gotten the script to I Love You Man
Speaker 12: to us. We read it and we said, this is
Speaker 12: a comedy, this is good. Yes, we'll do it, And
Speaker 12: that's how it all started. And of course when we
Speaker 12: got to the set we had no idea how much
Speaker 12: fun we'd have, and the guys in the movie were
Speaker 12: so kind and so excited and it was just one
Speaker 12: of the best memories I have.
Speaker 2: And then you were with Paul Rudd last night.
Speaker 12: Yes, Paul very kindly agreed to be my surprise guest
Speaker 12: host last night at the b Computer and he was
Speaker 12: as charming and affable as you could ever expect. You know,
Speaker 12: he's just one of the nicest people in show business.
Speaker 12: Honest to God, what a sincere guy.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll come full circle because that's who al Caline was.
Speaker 2: He was a wonderful gentleman. And having met him a
Speaker 2: couple of times, I know you said that that was
Speaker 2: your idol when you were growing up. You would have
Speaker 2: been proud to know that that was your idol because
Speaker 2: he was a great man.
Speaker 12: Well I'm really happy to know that because I never
Speaker 12: did meet him, and that makes that makes me smile.
Speaker 2: Thanks, good luck with the book, good luck with the auction.
Speaker 2: And there's no shame starting new collection. They're getting nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with.
Speaker 4: It, nothing wrong, always something else.
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 12: Thanks Dan, great to be here.
Speaker 2: That's Getty Lee and you can see the items that
Speaker 2: he is going to be auctioning off at Christie's dot com.
