Made it to a Thursday opening day Baseball 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Masters getting underway a little bit later. They had some 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: rain overnight, a lot of rain, and they've delayed the 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: tea times by about a half hour. So Tiger's going 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: to tee off around eleven o'clock and we'll keep an 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: eye on it. We're going to talk to Wright Thompson, 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: one of the best writers in America, not just sports writers. 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: He works for the Mothership. He's done profiles on Urban Meyer, 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods. When he goes in, he goes in, 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: he takes a deep dive, and we thought he'd be great. 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: He'll join us from Augusta as he's writing about Tiger 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: Woods there. Mike Piazza, the Hall of Famer, we'll join 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: us a little bit later on. He's in Italy and 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Fritzie tracked him down. We thought he might be a 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: good guy to talk to about the new technology that 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: catchers are going to have, that they're going to have 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: a device on their wrists and they're able to signal 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: to the pitcher communicate with the picture of a pitch 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: and location without putting down a sign so nobody can 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: steal the signs. So we'll ask Mike Piazza what he 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: thinks about the new technology and what could go wrong. Yeah, Eaton, 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: who Mike Piazza, He'll join us from Italy in the 24 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: final hour of the show. Man.

Now I don't know. I know 27 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: he went to the Mets camp, but I think his 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: wife is from there. I've been to Vera Beach, Florida, 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: and I've been to Italy. I know where I'm living. Yeah, Seton, 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: He like did the thing where you know, if you're 31 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: sitting around, you're like, man, if I won the lottery, 32 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: I'd moved to Italy and do it.

We got nominated again. Yeah, that's Daily Studio show. 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: That's I think five years in a row. I think 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: we're Gonzaga. I think now we get dominated. People have 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: high hopes for it. Well, we have high hopes and 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: then we eventually crash and burn. But who knows. Maybe 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: this year is the year. I keep saying, it's better 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: for our brand if we don't win the Sports Emmy. Yeah, 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: they had four years of that content, back to back 49 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: to back. Let's change it up a little. Let's try 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: it and see what a year's worth of winning looks like. 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to do to you, guys, 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: That's what I'm worried about. Then all of a sudden, 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: maybe you change and you don't even realize you've changed. Yes, Polly, 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: as I've said the last four years, I'm already caught 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: of a jerk. Might as well get the hardware. You know, 56 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: my mantle is barren. Yes, time, when do you go 57 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: from lovable losers to just playing losers? You have to 58 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: have many years of getting well, Well, the Cubs did 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: it for one hundred and eight years, so we got 60 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and eight nominees. Uh, one hundred and eight years. Yeah, 61 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Polly so out stand in Daily Studio show five straight nominations. 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: My biggest fear is the Monday after we don't win, 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: or whatever day of the week. No, it's Tuesday. They 64 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: announced it at the it's the end of May. Okay. 65 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly the Bills calls and says, how's old feel 66 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: to lose five in a row? You know? Wow? Susan Lucci, Oh, 67 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: I think she was seventeen. It might have been eighteen 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: that she was nominated the Daytime Emmys, and uh, I 69 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: think I think it was eighteen that she whipped on 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: Yes see, I kind of I have a little bit 71 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: of problem with Sports Center being nominated. Oh boy, yeah, 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: I agree, because is not all seventeen hours of Sports 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: Center per day can be that great? I feel like 74 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: you got to pick one. Oh okay, there's like there's 75 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: thirty seven different hosts and one hundred and fifty million 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: different producers doing all different times a day. Which one 77 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: is the one that's nominated the eleven or the six 78 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: or are they both that great? That's that that is true, 79 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: just saying maybe they should take a three hour window 80 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: sample and then say, now, judge sports Center on that. 81 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: Some of them are probably better than others. No offense, Yeah, yes, 82 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of it is highlights. How do you 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: compare highlights to three hours of talk and banter and 84 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: comedy and all the things we at least we attempt 85 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: to do. I'm not curious how that worked. Yes, yes, Bully, Like, 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: is the Randy Scott Sports Center the one that's nominated 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: this year or is it the Scott Van Pelt Sports 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: Center because those are different times a day, right, Sage Steel, Right, yeah, 89 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: Hannah Storm, I have all the nominees, Dan if you 90 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: want to hear him. Okay, NASCAR Race Hub on FS one, 91 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a big problem. Do you think, Oh yeah, 92 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: that NASCAR Race Hub where that's the one. As soon 93 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: as I saw that, I was like, oh crap, big 94 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: fan base. We're friendly with the NASCAR peeps who had 95 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: a lot of Nascar gether, but if you look back, 96 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: we lose two specialized shows like that, and that's the 97 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: that's the one. Is MLB tonight in there taking the 98 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: year off beating us? Okay? Yeah, the Rich Eyes and 99 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: Show is show?

When we lose, I might say 117 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: something negative about you know, the show that wins? Yeah, Paul, 118 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: what are you fair to say? There's some shows you're wishing, 119 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: wishing more luck than others. Yeah, there could be, yes, Marvin. Now, 120 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: if we win this year, would be the biggest difference 121 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: between the past four years. In this past year, well 122 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: well no, no, hold on, Marvin, you can't say we 123 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: because you weren't part of what this is based on. 124 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: And that's the pre previous year. Marvin's got the wrong year. Yeah, unfortunately, 125 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Marvin's last. We don't get nominated next year, 126 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: then we're gonna be able to go where it's gonna be. Marvin, 127 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: So what changed this year as opposed to the previous five? No, Look, 128 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: we we want to invite mclovin to sit with us 129 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: when we go to the sports Emmy's that official. Yeah, 130 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: I want mclovin. Deserves to be there. He's gonna sit 131 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: amongst us, are with us. I would like to have 132 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: him sit amongst with us. Yes, seton. Would you roll 133 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: the dice this year with an Emmy nam or take 134 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: a guaranteed win next year? Oh? I don't. I don't 135 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: want to win just to spike mclovin. No, I know, 136 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying content. I mean it would be good content. Yes, 137 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: and you know that that would embolden Marvin, so he'd 138 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: feel a little bit more like one of us yaranteed 139 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: win though, or well, let's see what happens this year. 140 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I'd rather see what happens, Yes, Fertze, which one of 141 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: us would they not be handing the award to? Who 142 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: would be the least safe to actually handle the award? Matt? Oh, 143 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: that Emmy statue is ginormous? Yeah, you know what we 144 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: just this? We should practice this during the commercial break 145 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: one of the Sports Emmys. I could get one of 146 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: those down off the trophy shelf and then we could 147 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: hand it to Marvin. See how he does. And small hands, Joe, 148 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: could we ask for a smaller sports hamm? They could 149 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: probably do? All right, what's the poll question we have today, 150 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Seaton Dan, We have got a couple of Paul passed 151 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: options that are always a lot, a lot, a lot 152 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: of fun.

And then Darius Rucker is the one 209 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: who text me and he said, decent job. But the Danetes, no, 210 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: their microphones weren't on, and I went, oh my god, 211 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: they didn't do that. Yep. So I went to the 212 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: cubs and I said to somebody that the guy was 213 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: the technician. I said, were there microphones on? He goes, no, 214 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: why can't you lie to us? And Fritzie, And Fritzy 215 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: was singing like he was Lionel.

And I thought I should do it just 221 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: so somebody else doesn't do it, and uh yeah, Fritzi, 222 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: I felt bad. I'm so bummed. I still have that 223 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: Cub shirt, that Cubs hat we have that says like 224 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: seven tenning stretch singer or whatever.

Yeah, remember went to Miller Park 234 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't opening day, but we got to go 235 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: to Miller Park, I think our second visit there, and 236 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: they said one of us could throw out the first pitch, 237 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: and we put all Fritzie's names in the hat up 238 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: Fritzie and actually we set you up to throw out 239 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: the first pitch at Miller Park. It was actually a 240 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: nice thing that was a complete honor. That part was cool, 241 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: But then I watched it back and I'm well, sweaty 242 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: in this white. We didn't tell you to wear a time. 243 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: You wore a tank time.

When he 245 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: went out, he looked like a big kid who had 246 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: issue things to one. You dress yourself, Todd, so that's 247 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: not our fault.

What baseball hat do you have on there? 334 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: This is one of the Atlanta Braves Modern League affiliates, 335 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: So they were handed out honor League hats in the 336 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: press room. So I had to find, you know, the 337 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: closest to the Braves I could get. All right, looks good, 338 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: are you in the press room right now? I am, 339 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: in fact in the press room right now? All right, 340 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: conditions and how will they affect today's golf in particular Tiger? Well, 341 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: I mean it rained all night at our rental house. 342 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: I mean it was keeping everybody up. He was raining 343 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: that hard, and it rained all this morning. Raised creek 344 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: is up. I mean, as you know, they have incredible 345 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: technology here, so they can suck a lot of water 346 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: out of the fairway, but it'll be a slog for 347 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: the fans moving around. I mean they can get the 348 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: water off the course, but everything else will be a mudpit. 349 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: How's that going to affect Tiger? I think anything that 350 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: makes walking harder. I mean, I think cold in the 351 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: morning is hard. I mean he talks about that the 352 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: other day that you know, his leg is full of 353 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: plates and rods and screws, and you know there's something 354 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: there's something interesting and beautiful about watching his main opponent. 355 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: Now just be the ravages of time and injury as 356 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: opposed to other golfers. So, I mean walking is hard 357 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: for him. You know, you start to look at this 358 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: and it feels like it's an optimistic bet that the 359 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: gamblers are saying that Tiger making the cut, Tiger winning, 360 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: and one sports book in Vegas said, the realistic gods 361 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: are about two hundred to one. What chances would you 362 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: give Tiger to win the Masters? You know, you learned 363 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: a long time ago and professional sports writing that the 364 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: rules are, you know, every dinner is twenty four ninety 365 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: nine and don't ever bet against Tiger Woods. And so 366 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean I would never do that. And you know, 367 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: I look up at the you know them looking right 368 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: now at the people who were starting, and you know, 369 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of guys who want to 370 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: go head to head with Tiger on the back mind 371 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: on Sunday if he can get there. So I mean, 372 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: I you know, two hundreds to one. Sure. I mean, 373 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: fourteen months ago, this guy was in a hospital bed. 374 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: He stayed there for three months, and then into a 375 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: wheelchair and then in two crutches, and then a step, 376 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: then two steps. So the fact that he's able to 377 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: walk his staggering, and you know, I feel like just 378 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: seeing him show up here and walk around the course 379 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: is a herculean thing to see. I mean, I can't 380 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,479 Speaker 1: imagine him being in contention on Sunday, but if he is, 381 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: he's very dangerous. And you've done a deep dive on Tiger. 382 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: We've talked about this before in some of your appearances, 383 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: and you said something that stayed with me, and that 384 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: is that Tiger there was a stretch where he didn't 385 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: like golf. He was great at golf, but he didn't 386 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: like golf. Where is he now in his life and 387 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: what does golf mean to him? I mean, I think 388 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: he likes playing with his son. I think it's a 389 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: very very different game. I mean, you know, you and 390 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: I talked. I think it was I don't remember. I 391 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: don't remember the context, but we were talking about, you know, 392 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: what's he still playing for? And you know, until he 393 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: won the Master several years ago. You have to remember 394 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: his kids had never actually seen him be Tiger Woods. 395 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: You know, they had never They didn't remember that. You know, 396 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: he joked his kids thought he was a YouTube golfer. 397 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think golf is something you know, 398 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: he gets to do with his son. Now. You know, 399 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: his son came and played his practice rounds here at 400 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: Augusta with him. It also like, in some ways, the pain, 401 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: it's probably the point more than the golf, you know, 402 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: the overcoming of it. It's it's more of a challenge 403 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: for him to get out of that bed and walk 404 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: again than it is to beat the current golfers, like 405 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 1: the challenge. You know, he's a challenged guy, you know, 406 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 1: like a lot of people we've covered over the year, 407 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: Dan and years, Dan, And I mean just he said 408 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: something Tuesday that really stuck with me, which is that 409 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, he would decide when it was over. And 410 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: I think that has a lot a lot to do 411 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: with what we're watching. You remember the first time you 412 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: interviewed him, Do I remember what do you remember the 413 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: first time you interviewed Tiger? I remember I was here. 414 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: I was here the year after he won so in 415 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: twenty two thousand and three, and he seemed so young 416 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: and strong and invincible. I mean that's what I remember. 417 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: He walked in the room. I was like, this guy's jacked, 418 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, and now the hairline is in full retreat. Uh, 419 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: he's you know, has that big upper body. Uh. But 420 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: you know he sort of walks like that. You know, 421 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: the guy walks around the gym and still thinks he's young, 422 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: you know, I mean like he kind of has that 423 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: walk and uh, he's a forty six year old man. 424 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: And you know the thing I'm curious about is, as 425 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: I know, I'm excited to watch this today, but I'm curious. 426 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: It's like, what is this about for him? You know? 427 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: I mean I think if I could give him truth, sir, 428 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: and that's what I'd want to know, like what what? 429 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: What is this exactly? And you've talked about spending time 430 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: and that he wanted to be a Navy seal, you know, 431 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: you know that that was probably more important to him 432 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: than whatever golf was going to bring to him. And yeah, 433 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, we had that that the 434 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: book out a couple of years ago, The Cost of 435 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: these Dreams that has that that story you're talking about, 436 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: that Tiger's story in it, and uh uh yeah, I 437 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: mean the through line between that and this is that 438 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: the overcoming of pain and the overcoming of your own 439 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: limitations in some ways is more interesting to him than 440 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: getting around a golf course and less strokes than some 441 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: of his current peers. You know. I mean, one of 442 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: the things I've been thinking he's been thinking a lot about, certainly, 443 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: is Ben Hogan, who in nineteen forty nine was driving 444 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: his Cadillac from Dallas to Passo and through the ice 445 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: in the fog and a Greyhound bust tried to pass 446 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: a truck and just hit him. Head on. I mean 447 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: it almost killed him, and then he almost died in 448 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: a hospital from blood clots, and he came back. They 449 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: never they didn't think he was gonna walk again. And 450 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: he came back a very diminished version of himself in 451 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: his opinion, but won six more majors. And you know, 452 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: Tiger is very well aware that if he would have 453 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: had his car wreck in nineteen forty nine, he would 454 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: not be playing today. But you know he was very 455 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: gracious and thinking the whole army of surgeons and physical 456 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: therapists and physios and you know, I mean his peers 457 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: now are people like Ben Hogan, not people like Dustin Johnson. 458 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: We're talking to, right, Thompson, ESPN senior writer joining us 459 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: from Augusta. I couldn't help but think of you when 460 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: urban Meyer was let go by Jacksonville because you profiled 461 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: him and you know he's wired differently. What happened? Are 462 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: you surprised what happened in Jacksonville with urban Meyer? You know? 463 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean one of the things that's interesting as you 464 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, you write stories for a long time. Uh, 465 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: some of them, if you're lucky, sort of become even 466 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: more true as time goes by. And you know that 467 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: that Urban story I think is in that collection as well, 468 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: the cost of these dreams. But Urban is uh, Urban 469 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: is when I left him at the end of that story, 470 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: he felt like a person who was on a knife's 471 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: edge and could go one of two ways. And you know, 472 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: who was aware of his own worst impulses and was 473 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: working U And actually, you know, in my opinion, at 474 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 1: the end of that story, failing to control them. And 475 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: clearly that seems like what's happened. You know that, uh, 476 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: And I don't enable allowed to be the worst version 477 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: of himself. You've done so many profiles. I just read 478 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: one that you did on Mike Shushevski UH called uh, 479 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, Coach K's last March or final March. I 480 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: think if um, you know those kind of guys Joe 481 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: Paterno was going to coach until he died. Brett Musburger 482 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: said that to me, certain coaches, you know, Bear Bryant, 483 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: they're just guys. Retirement scares people. Does retirement scare Coach K? 484 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: I don't think he thinks so, But I also don't 485 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: think he fully appreciates what life will be like when 486 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: he is no longer Coach K I think he's tired. 487 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: I think, like a lot of guys, he doesn't want 488 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: to cheat the process because the joy is in the process, 489 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: not in the results. You know, the joy of being 490 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: a basketball coach is staying up all night with your 491 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: assistance in ordering a four am pizza and watching film. 492 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean those kinds, you know, quick turnarounds off, tight 493 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: travel schedules. So I think the grind is the job 494 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: as opposed to being something you endure to do the job. 495 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: And I just don't think he could do it anymore. 496 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: And I don't think he was willing to look at 497 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: himself in the mirror because you know, those assistant coaches 498 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: would have covered for him forever, you know, like Joe 499 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: Paterno's assistance covered for him, you know. I mean that 500 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: was the thing no one wanted to say when all 501 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: of that was going up, is that he hadn't actually 502 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: been the head coach in a very long time. And 503 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: that was not true with coach k I mean, he 504 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: was fully in charge until the last horn blue, and 505 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: so I don't know what he's going to do in retirement, 506 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: but I think he just couldn't do the job the 507 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: way he knew it needed to be done. Who do 508 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: you think is going to win the Masters? Man? I'm 509 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: looking right now. Honestly, I don't think Royal mc rory McElroy. 510 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: I have no factual you know. You know I'm fascinated 511 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 1: by Rory. I don't know if you ever spent any 512 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: time with him, I really have it. But he seems 513 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: like he is very, very self aware and like understands 514 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: how understands the ways in which this matters and the 515 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: ways in which it doesn't. So I don't know, I 516 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: enjoy He's one of my favorite interviews because he does 517 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: give you. He thinks about what you're asking him and 518 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: gives you an honest answer, or at least the appearance 519 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: of an honest answer. And that's all we can ask 520 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: for when we're doing, you know, these interviews, Well, just 521 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: for someone to be engaged in the thought experiment of 522 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: it all. Yeah, you know that, Like you know, I'm 523 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: not the boogeyman. I have this question and let's try 524 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: to figure out an answer to it. Great to talk 525 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: to you. I hope the family's good and I still 526 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: have to cross Pats and have bourbon with you. Oh yeah, 527 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm so. Julian van Winkle is in my Master's house 528 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: this week. He's here for the tournament, so he wanted 529 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: me to ask you how much of that whiskey was left. Um, 530 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: tell Pappy I probably need another another bottle of fifteen 531 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: if I can. Well, yeah, well you know, we'll tell Pappy. 532 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: As soon as you sell us a bunch more books, 533 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: we'll get you another one. Great to talk to you, right, 534 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: you two man, have a great day you joined, Thank 535 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: you buddy. Yeah, that's a Pappy van Winkle. And if 536 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: you or a bourbon person, then you know about Pappy. 537 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: And Pappy is very expensive. Not you know, if you 538 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: get it, it doesn't cost you a lot, but by 539 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: the time you get on a secondary market then it 540 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: can cost you a couple of thousand dollars. Yeah. I 541 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: don't know if there's a lot of rock stars in 542 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: the whiskey world. But Julian, oh yeah, who write just 543 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: reference there? Yeah, absolutely one.

You know, 551 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't like when we try to play like armchair therapist. 552 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to figure somebody out like that. 553 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: It's just you figure them out, but you let them 554 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: sort of figure you're themselves out. You're not asking these 555 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: questions as much as they're telling you things. And that's 556 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: what Right has this ability to do, is letting you 557 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: sort of discover what maybe you didn't realize about yourself. 558 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls in here and then uh, 559 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: poll question Seaton, Yeah, we had another fun one actually 560 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: based off this is one from Pauli's.

I mean they still 708 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: pissed off about stuff, I say, the little jabs here 709 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: and there.

But it's a good rivalry to be upon 712 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 1: part of it. Everybody who steps in our building gonna 713 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: realize how big these games are, you know. And I 714 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: felt like a home game to us the last two times, 715 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 1: and it's in the garden. It feels like a home 716 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 1: game to the Knicks when it comes to the Barclay. 717 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's that's what basketball goal about, stuff 718 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: like that, and I'm free for to be a part 719 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: of it. I wish it was a rivalry, but it's not, 720 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 1: and maybe it will be one day. But see, I thought, Kevin, 721 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: Duran and Kyrie we're gonna end up with the Knicks 722 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: and kind of resuscitate that franchise. But they just kept going, 723 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, they just went right to Brooklyn.
