WEBVTT - Broadcast GOAT Joe Buck 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:05.560 From my arm Radio Common Enemy contendum with TV's They 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:15.440 Pal podcast, Hey Pal, Hey Pal with Jared. So, look, Dave, 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.400 I remember last week we were talking about the whole 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.200 like I couldn't get ot in my head that you 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.040 were like Eagles, Eagles, Eagles, as you wear flags flying. 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.520 I'm wearing a fly today like Kyle Tequila. I'm talking 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.960 to my producer now, a strong You gotta be able 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.800 to like lay some law down and not have this 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.720 guy in our studio and be able to wear this stuff. 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.240 He actually complimented me for right. All right, I'm out. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.840 I'm out. I can't take this anymore. Well, anyways, Davo, 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:43.280 what I was gonna say to you is that I 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.000 can't help that I have pride for my teams and 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.360 you don't. Well listen, I'm getting to the pride part. 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.080 Can can Can I talk for a second here? Well, 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.720 the pride part is I respected the fact that you loved, 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.680 you know, the championship so much, and I went back 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.600 and I was like, man, you had me Itchen, And 0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.200 I was like, I gotta go watch the Mavericks two 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.480 thousand eleven when that NBA title, you know, that un 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.000 amazing and Dirk I mean, what can you say? What 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.000 can you say? I mean, it was incredible, But this 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.120 is my question that I wanted to come here today 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.119 and talk to you about kind of was like, what 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.039 does it separate you? Doesn't not separate you to win 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.559 the title if you have like a fifteen years still 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.960 career where you're on top, Like, is Dirk better than 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.199 Charles Barkley? Is better than Karl Malone because they didn't 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.360 get a championship, but Karl Malone is arguably one of 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.520 the best. I don't know, what do you think, Dive. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.720 I mean, I gave out a lot of thought as 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.080 as you know Last Dance, the documentary on Michael Jordan's 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.920 Chicago Bulls Run that everyone's talking about right now. You know, 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.120 you think about that, You think about all the great 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.440 players that have played sports, and you know, some of 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.080 those guys like Charles Barkley obviously a former Philadelphia seventy 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.080 six or uh never was able to say that he 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.920 won a championship or got the chip. And I think 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.640 what it comes down to, and you see that in 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.560 the documentary, is that there's there's a lot to it. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.960 It's not just about the players, it's about the organization, 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.960 and it's about the management, it's about the coaching. When 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.680 did you get so philosophical? Can you answer my question 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.280 very passionate about But I don't care about your passion 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.360 right now. I care about my question. There is a 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:17.120 reason that you can't. It's so hard to say, I mean, accomplished, accomplished, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.959 It's not that hard to say. Watch this, Dirk Nowitzki 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.680 or Charles Barkley. You're a Mavericks fan. You can't even 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:30.080 pronounce your guys last Newitsky or Charles Barkley answer the question, Dirk, 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.720 thank you? Okay. Wasn't that hard, was it? Dirk Newitzky 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:38.200 or Karl Malone? Dirk? Oh, well, okay, So then maybe 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.079 you know what, let me go over to the acting side, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.280 because what I'm hearing right now is it does matter 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.600 for you. Because he got that chip, he was able 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.480 to lead his team. What about what about somebody like 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.680 Leonardo DiCaprio before The Revenant? Right, he had not won 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.160 an Oscar. So if I would have a completely different 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.400 is it completely differently? What? You're completely different? And I'm 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.880 glad that you showed your moro on stature. The difference 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.080 is that DiCaprio that was out of his hands. He 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.799 played at the top of his game for years. That's 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.639 a subjective award. Somebody else is voting on that. Some 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.760 totally disagree, someone else is playing god on that. But 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.760 can the moron just say for a second that Dirk 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.840 Nvitski is not the only guy out there on the court. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.400 Absolutely not his hands too. He needs Jason Terry to 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.600 hit the shots, he needs Jason Kidd to be able 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.880 to but them winning or not winning has nothing to 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.399 do with someone voting for them. But he's still Dave. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.919 He still has to go on the court, per se. Right, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.119 Leo has to go on the court, and he has 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.720 to perform at the top of his level, yes, right, 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.120 and he has to perform at a higher level than 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.360 the other actors that are getting on the court, which 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.680 he's done consistently almost his entire career. Okay, all right, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.840 you know what so I'm saying it's it's nobody votes 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.720 on a championship. They they go and win a championship, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.320 they take a championship, votes on it. All right, Look, look, look, 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:57.800 I think this is a good time to bring in 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.600 our next guest. I'm angry, now, good I I like, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.920 I like when you get amped up, Devo, I like 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.000 when you get Let's talk about our next pal. Yeah, 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.160 let's talk about our next pal. Okay, so our next 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.840 guest has been on your TV for over twenty years. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.600 That's a long time, Dave Right, He's been on all 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.360 our TVs twenty years years for a long time. Okay, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.400 this man, this man's name is I would say, synonymous 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.000 with anything involving sports, without questions, without question. He also 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.560 happens to be one of the coolest guys that I 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.240 know and now a pal of the Hate Pal podcast. 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.920 Please welcome Joe Buck, jb How are you doing, Joe Bock, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.000 Thank you, thanks for having me. I uh, We're all 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.520 just doing like a round robin tournament of podcasts. So 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.720 I'm gonna ask you guys to be on mine and 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.160 then I'll come back on yours. In the spinning Board 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.800 act will actually take the world down into some sort 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.920 of black hole. We're there. We're there and super excited 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.839 to have you. Were both obviously huge fans, and Jared's 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.800 lucky enough to call you a pal of his. I 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.520 am looking at you. Do have a birthday coming up 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:05.600 in a couple of days you're excited about your pandemic birthday, 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.680 not at all. I know it's bad luck to skip 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.200 a birthday, but I also know that with having two 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.520 year old twin boys, we now are in the era 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:25.320 of drive by birthday parties and trades and streamers and signs, 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:30.040 and I don't think I want to invite any of 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.600 my friends to do that. And then on top of that, 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.359 I'm fifty one. I mean, the math is so against 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:41.800 me two year old being fifty one. I start doing 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.480 the math and I'm like, uh, well, let's see when 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.120 they are graduating from high school, I'll be a hundred 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.559 and everybody will be asking him why, hey, why we're 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.000 your parents? Why did your grandparents just show up? So, hey, 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.640 that's life, That's that's what they got. You're gonna be good. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.480 J B. So so Joe. We were just talking about careers, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.400 Dave and I and and we're wondering who has had 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.440 the better career Joe Buck the announcer, or Troy Ache 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.839 been the quarterback. I think anytime you win a Super 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:22.599 Bowl that's like the mic drop stock and he won three? 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.560 Uh can I can I make? Can I make the 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.320 other side of the argument, though, yeah, is here's my thing. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.120 And and Dave and I we we go back and 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.080 forth and talk about this a lot. Is that you, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.400 Mr j B have been on the Tube at the highest, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.839 you know, level of competition. We like to say that 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.000 you can be be at for twenty plus years. I 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.840 understand the Troy you know, won three Super Bowls and 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.640 it was incredible. I'm from Dallas and so I was 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.640 the biggest you know, Troy Achmen fan growing up. But like, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.280 you have been number one for twenty plus years, and 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.440 you can't say that a lot in any profession, what 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.880 how or whatever sign I was born under. I am 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.839 a tourist and I don't know about the other astrological stuff, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.279 but my timing has been crazy. Like I came along 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.120 the name of my book is Lucky Bastard because my dad, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.000 Ard was six kids met my mom may or may 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:21.400 not have had some sort of extra marital activity, and 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.240 then nine months later I was born. And then I 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.239 came into the world. And as I was growing up, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.840 my dad's career was taking off with the St. Louis Cardinals, 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.520 and he wanted me with him everywhere he went. So 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.560 I was in every National League city by the time 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.560 I was twelve, I was around big league teams, I 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.120 was around a broadcast and then I started after two 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.480 years in the minor leagues where the Cardinals at one, 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.880 and then Fox drops out of the sky and bid 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.200 Bien gets into the NFL game, and I'm of the 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.840 right age to be kind of the next generation of 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.200 young network announcers. Then get baseball. So it's just been 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.080 like a series of well timed events in my life 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.119 where I've done ten times more than I ever hoped 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.400 I would do. Right, So, yeah, that is the other 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.640 side of the argument. But I think winning a Super 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.480 Bowl and being a part of a team that it's 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.560 that good for that stretch of time in the nineties 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.480 is probably cooler than anything the three of us will 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.200 ever do. Well. It definitely, it definitely is is cool. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.880 I don't disagree there, but with with with the you know, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.960 and I appreciate you know, you're giving us a little 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:32.600 background right there. But during that time, you know, um, 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.320 whether it was you know, your your dad helping you 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.400 out with the jobs or you just getting the jobs, 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.280 are you being lucky however you want to define it, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.120 you still had to be damn good at your job 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.480 and and I guess that's what we're saying is that 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.720 you are damn good and you've been damn good for 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.480 twenty years, and that's and that is a feat in itself, 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.240 that is that is Yeah. I mean, obviously what what 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.480 Troy did was incredible, but I think you know, with 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.880 all due respect your son, yourself short because you've just 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.280 had an absolutely amazing run. Um. I think the title 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.760 the book is incredible, and uh, you know, it definitely 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.960 all adds up. I mean, it's it's it's pretty much 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.840 had convincing to get that to be the title of 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:14.120 my book. I can't imagine. And it was a little 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.839 awkward to go on shows and have the host go 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.120 and uh here to talk about his new book, Lucky Faster. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.440 A little bit unnerving. Yeah, that said, you're right, Jared. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.040 I mean, I uh, I got started early, but I 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.240 think the jury was ready to come back in a 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.520 lot quicker because I was my dad's kids. I think 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.240 you get a lot of breaks, but you also have 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.640 to do the work. If you can't do the park, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.120 they're gonna flush you, I think twice as fast as 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.199 they would somebody that's coming in without a name exactly. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.800 So I have worked hard, and I've worked since I 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.520 was nineteen. I haven't really ever taken any time off. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.640 I didn't go backpacking across Europe to go find myself. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.600 I myself when I was a little kid in my 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.240 dad shadow and I just wanted to be him when 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.400 I grew up. That's awesome. Yeah, I love it. Now. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.800 With that being said, in terms of other announcers, we're 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.360 gonna we like to ask different unique questions on our show. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.040 We like to hybrid questions over here, Jim, Now, if 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.560 you had to pick five other announcers that are non 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.760 former athletes, so not an athlete that became an announcer, 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:26.280 just an announcer to compete in athletic competition, who would 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:37.520 your five b okay currently on the air, either either 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.320 current or former in an athletic competition, Like what are 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.160 we doing? Are we? It could be it could be 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.400 five on five basketball, It could be an obstacle course, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:51.320 it could be anything. Okay, I will say, Jim Nance 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.120 seems physically fit, I'll throw Nance on my team. I 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.679 think Mike Arko if you could put him through like 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:02.240 a paleo diet and and get him to uh to 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.800 focus in on the athletic event. I would put him 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.960 on my team. I would actually put myself on on 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.839 my team. I can see that being one, but I'm 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.240 still the youngest guy doing what I'm doing. And then 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.400 I would probably comb like the the NBA or the 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.360 NHL for young play by play announcers who I don't 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.480 even know at this point, and try to find the youngest, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.280 most fit guy with the best hairline because he's probably 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.120 got a good genetics. And I would I would find 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.840 two guys that are just starting on this business, and 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.839 I would claim them as my own. So I'll be 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:44.960 with myself to Vido dance and then two young guys 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.920 whose names I I don't know. I love it and 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.960 I love that you're scouting. Now I know every announcer 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:55.200 you meet moving forward. Now you're gonna think about this question, however, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.640 it's some big event, the guys that I need, I'm 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.520 gonna be My answer is going no, I'm glad I 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:07.400 including the guys, including myself. UM, I find that as 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.240 I get older, and now are these twin two year 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.080 old boys getting down on the floor and playing blocks 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.040 or playing dinosaurs or playing whatever the hell we're playing 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.040 during any given moment, that's fine, But getting back up, 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.640 I want them to actually turn their backs when they 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.280 walk away as because I don't want them at the 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.600 age of two to be embarrassed of their father. Uh. 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.920 We've got plenty of time for that. I get it. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.640 And it's funny because Jamie Fox always tells me when 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.480 he plays basketball, he's a big basketball fan, big basketball player. 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.640 He says, the playing of the game is fine. What's 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.720 different now if he's fifty one as well, is the recovery. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.920 That's what he says. Different. Before he can play basketball 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.680 five days a week. Now he plays one day and 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.920 he needs like four days off before he can play again. Now, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.080 I trust me the rebound effect and and that that 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.640 goes for everything. Whether you're drink it all night and 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.200 you get up, you cannot shake a hangover like you 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.160 used to. Uh. And lack of sleep is now a 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.079 big part of my life. When I was doing Cardinal 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.600 Baseball on the radio, I was my My schedule was 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.360 flipped so I would work on I would work at night, 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.560 go back to the hotel bar, have a couple of drinks, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.480 go to bed, get up at eleven the crack of eleven, 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.360 and then maybe try to work out, maybe not, and 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.280 then you're starting the whole process over. You get to 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.440 the ballpark by four o'clock for seven o'clock game, and 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:34.480 now it's it's it's the total opposite where I'm up 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.360 at six o'clock because these twin boys and I'm I'm 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:42.360 like fighting off. Thank God for Tiger King passed every 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.720 night because that's the only time the house is quiet. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.720 My wife and I can actually watch something and be 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.360 current in any conversation we get into. Right, Yeah, that 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.640 makes sense. By the way, I just had a crazy thought. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.880 There have never been twin There's never been a twin 0:13:55.920 --> 0:14:00.000 broadcasting team. Has there like a play by play team? 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.319 Others are the property brothers twins? Yeah they are, but yeah, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.520 not not in terms of sporting events. But that's yeah. 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.560 I will support my boys doing whatever the hell they 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.400 want to do. My wife is an accident for Broncos cheerleader. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.360 One of our sons is exactly like me. Thick could 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.600 run through a wall um and doesn't have the greatest hairline. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.280 The other one don't go anywhere. Hey, Pam will be 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:37.800 right back after a word from our sponsors. So JB, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.120 you were just giving us a little breakdown of of 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.200 you know, your schedule as an announcer and all that. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.160 What do you think, because you're you're familiar with the 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.960 entertainment industry, very familiar in fact, what do you think 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.280 is harder? You think you stepping into an acting role 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.640 and being good at that or an actor stepping into 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.320 the booth and being good at that. Which one, which 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.600 role reversal do you think would be harder? That's a 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.240 great question. Um, I and I am the last guy 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.000 to my own horn. But I've done some acting. I've 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.160 been on brock Meyer, I've been on a bunch of 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.400 different things. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, j B, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.280 j B. Stop stop, you've done some acting. We gotta 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.360 get you in one of our movies. Then what are 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.880 you waiting for? I mean, google me and brock Meyer. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.960 If that doesn't impress you, then Kyle, Kyle Tequila, who 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.200 is our producer who you met earlier? Kyle, I need 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.320 you to write down Joe Buck on our too higher 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.280 list for our next couple of movies. Y j B, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.760 J B JB. We're holding you to that, Okay, but continue. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.400 If I had somebody you know named the greatest actor 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:44.720 of our time, Uh, DeNiro, Gino Leo, any of these guys. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.200 If if I put a headset on and I went 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.680 to go, it's but but that's not fair because I 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.520 think we all kind of live in the world and 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.480 you can kind of fake acting. But what I'm doing 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.800 in the boot with is I'm seeing something and I'm 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.280 reacting and I'm um forming an opinion and forming sentences 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.440 in my like while it's happening. But I've done that 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.200 my entire life, so that's what I've that's what I'm 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.760 trained to do. So it's not a fair comparison. But 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.920 I think the answer is I could fake act way 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.640 easier than they could fake, or you could fake broad 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.760 So JB, what would be or you might stay the 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.440 same answer, But what would be your answer if you 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.040 just took person X, could person X? Is it easier 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.000 or harder for them to go into acting or is 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.440 it harder for an actor to go into broadcasting? No, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.200 I think if you had person as who wasn't used 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.440 to being on camera or wasn't used to being louder 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.120 than you typically have to be or your business, that's 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:45.840 a hard thing for me when I go to acting, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.040 Like if I'm sitting in a broadcast booth in a 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.840 place happening in front of me. You don't even really 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.040 have to have a headset. You can be in the 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.920 back of the booth and you can hear me because 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.880 you have to be louder than you typically off. For me, 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.120 the hard part of acting is being almost low key 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.199 and being a little less because I see the camera 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.960 on and I want to go get anything everyone and 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.440 went on into the broadcast right right, right. So I 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.719 think if it was person actual, they would struggle both ways, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.480 because you know, it's uncomfortable to even try to put 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.680 yourself on camera, and it's really awkward to watch an 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.840 event not get caught up in the event and kind 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.040 of remove yourself and just put a soundtrack to it, um, 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.480 which is what I try to do when I'm broadcasting. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.919 So I think they would struggle in both. But again 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.720 I think my answer is they could probably stumble through 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:39.760 some sort of acting thing than they could pay well. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.200 I also think the thing that we're not talking about 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.680 is that when you're acting, it's usually in a controlled environment. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.560 When you're announcing, you have no idea what is going 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.119 to happen, you know, so you have to change, You 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.840 have to come up with stuff on the fly because 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.400 you don't control that narrative. And that's that's the good 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.920 and the bad. When I've tried to cross the midline 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.199 and go to act and remember lines or whatever it 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.040 is and trying to deliver lines like they're my own thoughts, 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.280 I mean, I think that's a weird thing. But at 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.400 the same time, if you're sitting in a broadcast booth 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.200 in Cleveland on a Thursday night and a guy takes 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.400 his helmet off and starts swinging at a helmetless quarterback 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.760 for the Pitch Steelers, you gotta kind of start talking 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.480 about that right now. There's no preparation, there's no nobody's 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.560 writing it out for you. Nobody's work shopping lines, nobody's 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:33.760 punching it up, nobody's doing any of the phrases that 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.080 you guys use, and so you have to live in 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.040 the present and there is no delete button. Yeah that's 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.560 so great. You you did that, You did that game? Yeah, 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.400 oh you did Okay, Yeah he just got reinstated, right, yeah, 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.000 he got reinstated. He got the rest of the season off. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.040 Last year, and I just remember I was sick as 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.600 a dog. Both my my boys had been sick and 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:55.960 I didn't even know if I was gonna make it 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.920 to the game, and then I, um, the game's over. 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.880 I got through the game. I was, you know, trying 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.840 to fight back being really ill, and I'm almost packing 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.800 my stuff up. It was like ten seconds left in 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:08.840 the game and then I I look up, but it 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.560 was just almost like what just happened? And our producers 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.880 just talking in my ear and he says, wait till 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.240 you see what happened on this replay, and they roll 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.200 the replay and the first time, you know, anybody watching 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.560 it at home saw it. It was the first time 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.159 that I saw it, and it was just like whoa, 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.159 you know, like, how does that happen? The game was 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.639 basically over and a blowout, and then this crazy thing happened. 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.280 So yeah, you have to be ready for whatever happens 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.800 in a live event over three and a half hours. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.240 And that's why you were one of the greatest ever 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:45.200 do the goat. Now you're a three time National Sportscaster 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.040 of the Year. You want a ton of Emmy's. What 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.760 do you think is hard to receive that award or 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.959 an m v P in one of the four major sports? Now, 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.640 I know you were humble earlier about you and Troy, 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.040 But you know that's the m v P of broadcasting. 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.680 I'll go with the same. I mean, I think when 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.760 you get to a level like I didn't win a 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:07.919 national competition to be the main voice of the Fox. Now, 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:09.920 I've done it long enough, and I guess you could 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.600 make the argument I've done it well enough. Certainly on 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.239 my detractors, certainly have this ship I deal with on 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.240 social media. All that, I get it. I can do 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:23.919 seminars on that, But there is no national competition. Fox 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:28.120 hired me in I got the main job in ninety six. 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.840 I got the main football job in oh one, I think, 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.000 and I haven't messed it up since then. That's not 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.000 to say that I won't tomorrow, but to this amount 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.439 to be at that level, whether you're the you're in 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:46.200 the NHL, you're in the NBA, you're in the NFL, 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.439 you're Major League Baseball, to be that good compared to 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.080 all these guys that are the best high school player 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.280 in our high school team, the best local player in 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.119 their community, the best college player on their team, the 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.920 top draft pick, whatever it is. To get to that 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:05.000 level and be the best, that's just a different thing. 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.040 I think that's the answer. Easily. Being an m d 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.720 P is way harder than what I'm doing right right, Yeah, 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:13.720 I would. I would have to agree with them, David. Okay, 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:15.520 So JB, look, I've been wanting to ask you this 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.560 for a while. We're friends. We're friends off off the 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.240 felt or off the court. I would like to say, 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.480
