1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to Is this a great game or what? And

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: our guests this week is our dear friend and Nan

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Verg of the MLB Network and many other places, and

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: n welcome back.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: You're on two years.

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 3: In a row with that.

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 4: I'm with David Samson, who is very strict when it

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 4: comes to his rules. Believe has a strict rule that

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 4: he will not have a guest back more than once.

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 4: I said, that's insane because you imagine Carson not bringing

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 4: back Robin Williams more than once. Like, now that's it

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 4: one and you're done. So I'm so glad I earned

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 4: a repeat appearance here.

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: This is great game or what?

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 4: You know? I'm so fond of both of you. Love

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: the fact you guys are kicking off with this podcast

17
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 4: but three days a week now. It's fantastic talking baseball

18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 4: and all great things in both of your lives.

19
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: So fill the be here as always right.

20
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: And did we drag you off the beach to come

21
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: in here? Explain?

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: So there's very very few people, Tim that will ever

23
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: say no to and you are one of them. We're

24
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 4: here in San Jose, beautiful San Jose, the West coast

25
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: where my wife is from. We're gonna go to the Santa

26
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: Cruz day, the beach, the boardwalk, but you asked me

27
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 4: to come on with you, and Jeff I said, I

28
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: could never say no to such an opportunity. So yeah,

29
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: I've got a little bit of a tan. Right now,

30
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: I'm working on the sunshine and in Vitamin D. But

31
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: for you guys, I'm always here the beach of the boardwalk.

32
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: And wait, we'll get to the cotton candy and the

33
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: fun and frivolity in a minute.

34
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 5: Well out right now is your book Cinophile? So I

35
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 5: mean listen, the media has just been inundating you with

36
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 5: interviews to talk about this book, and Ada, this is huge.

37
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 5: I mean, you have a three time author, Tim Kirkshon

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 5: here is this a great game or what? I'm fascinated

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 5: by sacrifice flies in America's game?

40
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: But you have a book out This is so cool.

41
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: We'll get to my book in a second.

42
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: But since you mentioned Tim and has run as an author,

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: I mean, his books are phenomenal and they're such great reading,

44
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: and especially before I had the great pleasure of working

45
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: with your dad. You know, the best was the chapter

46
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 4: but inside jokes because like Carl Rabbits should say nobody

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: serves it up like Joe, and Joe was like criteria worker.

48
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: And then I got to meet Joe, like, oh my god,

49
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: this is awesome. You've become famous as a Tim Kirchen's book,

50
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: and it was really instructive and entertaining, and it's so funny,

51
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: and even I just I love the tittle so much.

52
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: I'm fast end by Sacrifice Flies. The whole book is great.

53
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: But years ago, when I worked at TSN and I was,

54
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: you know, at a college my second year, I was

55
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: probably twenty years old, put together highlight packs, you know

56
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: today's highlights of Blue Jays Angels. You watch the entire game,

57
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: you put together thirty five seconds, fairly straightforward. And I

58
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 4: saw at the top and you know, close up of

59
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: Joe Carter and they gets.

60
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: A home run, another home run at the horme un

61
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: there's a highlight pack.

62
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: So they said, all right, no matter what the highlight

63
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: you know, hopefully if it's an eighty four game, you

64
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: show a bunch of home runs would be a key play,

65
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: a hit and run, whatever it is. You know how

66
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: to tell a good story when it comes to highlights. Says, yeah,

67
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: this is going to be on Sports Center. Which is

68
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: the Canadian version rather than the American version. They said,

69
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: but just one thing, just so you know, you never

70
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: want to show sacrifice flies.

71
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: And I said, really, what if it's like a like

72
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: a five four game?

73
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: And then I figure, now nobody cares about sacrifice flies

74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 4: pretty more boring. Guy hit the fly ball the center,

75
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: he waits for the ball, The guy having the third

76
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: pauses here, runs his tags up the scores. So I said,

77
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: what if the winning run is a sacfly, they go

78
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: show the play leading up to it, Like if Ricky

79
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: Henderson had a double and then later scored a sacrifice fly,

80
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: just show the double or show a steal that led

81
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: to that place.

82
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: So okay.

83
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: I always carried that thought with me, And then I

84
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: worked with Tim Kirkton, who writes the book, and I'm thinking, man,

85
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: Tim never would have worked out well when it was

86
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: he was cutting highlights as a young man working at

87
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: TA Stamp behind the scenes. What next time you after

88
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: you're watching sports and a highlight show, They're never going

89
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: to show sacrifice flies. Look suw everything. But that just

90
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: almost spiting your dad. But as far as the book

91
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: is concerned to the file here it is interviews, essays

92
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: tails from the red carpet. Yeah, the key, the key,

93
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: as your dad knows, is to use like everyone you

94
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: know for the blurbs.

95
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: So how about this?

96
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: JK. Simmons is on the cover and the blurb says,

97
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: a wonderful book full of my favorite kinds of stories.

98
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: And this is why and me and your dad share

99
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: this concept, Jeff. We both have strong memories for relatively

100
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: inane things. We don't have a y grasp of knowledge.

101
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: But the things that we're into.

102
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: For your dad baseball, basketball, television of a certain era.

103
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: For me, movies, baseball, et cetera, were pretty good. So

104
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: you's got work with Harold Reynolds other he's been alumni

105
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: and we had JK. Simions is throwing out the first

106
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: pitch somewhere and he's a huge Detroit Tiger's find. I

107
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: interviewed him years ago twice when I worked at ESPN

108
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: for Centophile the podcast. So Harold, I said, can we

109
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: get to I asked the desk He's scientists to get JK.

110
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 3: Simmons on.

111
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: We get him on, and before the interview, Harold somewhat amusingly,

112
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: somewhat annoyed, playfully, he's saying, well, how come ID means

113
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: doing the interview, like you know, I know JK Simmons,

114
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: Like I got him and his brother tickets for the

115
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 4: Tigers World Series game back in oh six. So I

116
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 4: literally like, your dad, I just file away that nugget,

117
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: like one day that might be important to me. And

118
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: so JK. Simmons came to MLB Network maybe two or

119
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: three months ago doing what we call the car wash.

120
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: He's promoting whatever he's promoting, and he just truly does

121
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: love the Tigers, like everyone's like wow, he like he's

122
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: going in deep on Colt Keith. I'm like, you know,

123
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: he really does love this. I may not know not

124
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: ton about my team, but I can tell you about

125
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: Brandon Inge. His history is a third.

126
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: Base for the Tigers.

127
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: So I filed that away. I text Harold afterwards, hey

128
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: still have JK. Simmons's number. He's like, yep, he didn't

129
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 4: get it from me. I'm like, no problem. I text JK.

130
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: Not sure if you remember me interview two years ago

131
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: basically of course I know who you are happy to help, Like,

132
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: I was so floored. JK. Simmons was so helpful giving

133
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: me a little blurb like that. Now we've kept up

134
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: a correspondence. Now now I'm telling him what I think

135
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: of Cole Keith. We're going back and forth a book

136
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 4: casey MII. So it's nice. I've been a texting buddy

137
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: now on him. Joshjamel is, of course of great actor,

138
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: huge Minnesota sports fan. I asked him for a blurb.

139
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 4: Hadn't talked to him like ten years. Rights back, No problem,

140
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: Happy to help. Miles Teller, fellow Eagles fan. We're still

141
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: riding the highs of the defending Super Bowl champions. I

142
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: literally in Timdo's is simimes. You just write the blurb

143
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: for them, like Miles is like on a set somewhere

144
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: shooting a movie.

145
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: They go, listen, I'll do the blurb for you.

146
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 4: It's just going to say, from one Eagles fan to another,

147
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 4: by this book, go burds.

148
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: Miles was like, yeah, works for me. I'm like great.

149
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: So I'm so grateful for all these guys. And this

150
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: is one that Bob costas is blurb which is on

151
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 4: the back. This one's pretty good because this one you

152
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: can literally hear Bob Costa saying this. I've always contended

153
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: ad In something of a polymath and cinophile confirms my

154
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 4: belief I just wish his airy edition had extended to

155
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: my classic films Pooty Tang and Basketball.

156
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: That's when the words of Bob Costa.

157
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Say, and that sounds exactly like Bob cast is. Now

158
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: let's see how great Add's memory is added. Do you

159
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: remember in my little brush with acting fame when I

160
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: interviewed Alan Arkin. Do you remember that?

161
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you shocking my memory. Now you gotta

162
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 4: tell me the story again, because you've talked about this before.

163
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: I know well, Alan Arkin, of course is one of

164
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: the funniest gamedic actors ever. And he was so good

165
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: in The in Laws, you know, Sheldon corn Pet and

166
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: all that. He was so funny. So I was asked

167
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: to introduce Alan Arkin, who was one of the stars

168
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 1: Million Dollar arm and I'm I'm like stark cast because

169
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: he's so funny. So I go to him and say, Alan, like,

170
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: what is your background in baseball? And he said, oh,

171
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: I hate baseball. I've never liked it. I never followed it.

172
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh my god, I'm on baseball tonight, I'm

173
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: interviewing Alan.

174
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: Hartman, and all I yet is I hate baseball.

175
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: I was never.

176
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: Interested in And and then does this surprise you and all,

177
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: has this ever happened to.

178
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: You where you interview a star like that and he

179
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: doesn't follow a long at all.

180
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 4: It's a great point to him. So often you know

181
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: what this is like the agents of the PERRF people

182
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: will pitch a person and say, oh, he's a huge

183
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: fan of this, and you and I know the critical

184
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: moment is right before the interview. Jeff knows this too,

185
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: and radio tards. If you know somebody, you don't get

186
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: that moment. It's just joining us now three two one.

187
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: But if you can just get a thirty seconds like, hey,

188
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: I think John hamm is like a legit huge Blues fan.

189
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 4: He's watching Hockey Day, right, Cardinals don't think he's as strong.

190
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: I think RAVI said something to him before he went

191
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: on with you guys one time and he says something like,

192
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if Carpenter's still there, and you think

193
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: he meant Chris Carpenter. I don't think he met Matt Carpenter.

194
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: But the point is, you bet double check with these guys.

195
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: You don't want to say, oh, I heard you're a

196
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: huge fan, because again, huge fan could mean yeah they

197
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: were once upon a time like from age twelve to eighteen.

198
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: Bill Arnett could tell me everything about the Blue Jays.

199
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: But now he's not following it nearly as much. He's

200
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: got SmartLess, he's got a podcast and other things. He

201
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 4: still watches the Leafs to day and night. But yeah,

202
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: those moments, those are classic. You think you're expecting a

203
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: response and you get the exact dups and no faceball.

204
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: I never cared about it. Next question, and.

205
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 5: Then, honestly, I've dealt with the same exact thing. I

206
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 5: chatted with Riley Green, the country music star, and he

207
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 5: obviously shares the name with Riley Green of the Detroit Tigers,

208
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 5: and I wanted to ask, Hey, have you ever met

209
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 5: the other Riley Green? And thankfully I know that Riley

210
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: Green country star has a great swing. But I was

211
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: ready for him to say nope. The next question, Okay,

212
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: you know, I came this close to really screwing it up.

213
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: And it was at one of those you know, award

214
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: show junkets.

215
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: You get like two minutes with them, you know, not

216
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 5: even podcast worthy. So but I wanted to add and

217
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: I wanted to go back to your book for a second,

218
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 5: because you have the perfect ability to love sports and

219
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 5: pop culture love sports and movies and music and all

220
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 5: that stuff. Robert de Niro, I know for you was.

221
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you said it on the record, the biggest.

222
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 5: Interview of your career. But after the interview the mics

223
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 5: are shut off. Robert De Niro looks at you and

224
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: asks you what you had an exchange after the mics

225
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 5: none of us got to hear about it.

226
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, Jeff. This is one of the best parts

227
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: of the books. I'm glad you're mentioning it. And again,

228
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: your dad is instrumental in this, as he is in

229
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: so many aspects of my life.

230
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: In my career.

231
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 4: We were at the Little League World Series together. It's

232
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: a Sunday night. I think I got the email Thursday. Listen,

233
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: Tim and I love that experience, there's no question about it.

234
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: But if the seven element of groundlock day. After a while,

235
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: you wake up, you go to the gym, third floor,

236
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 4: go get some eggs, head to the park, watch some

237
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 4: little lea go down the hill like it's great, but

238
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: it kind of has this, you know, aspect to a familiarity.

239
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: So I know three of me and Tim being there

240
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: eight straight days, whatever it is. I got the email

241
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 4: from the ESPN booker saying, Robert de Niro is coming

242
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 4: to ESPN to Bristlets. Oh my god, I've got to

243
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 4: go see this. And Tim's going, yeah, no, you have

244
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 4: to go. We gotta figure this out.

245
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: So I left.

246
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: It was a Sunday night MLB tonight. Timidated together from

247
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: what was the seven to eight Eastern. I got in

248
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: the car. My wife and two of my boys were

249
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: with me at the time, because my wife loves Robert

250
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 4: DeNiro like me as well, so we all. I remember

251
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: Mark Gross, one of the bosses there, sees me exiting

252
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: it like eight thirty.

253
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: What are you going going back to connect?

254
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 4: What aren't you working tomorrow? I am, I'll be back.

255
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: Don't worry about it. I gotta go see DeNiro. Just no,

256
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: never go to detail. Okay, no problem. So we go

257
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: back and I had asked your dad, Jeff, I said, Tim,

258
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: what do I call him? And Tim, so, what you mean?

259
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: I said? Nobody calls him Robert? And I said, but

260
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: mister de Niro's too formal and I and I said,

261
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: you know, like everyone calls him Bob, and Tim said

262
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: you should call him Bob.

263
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: I said, hey, maybe I'll just ask him if I

264
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 3: can call him Bob.

265
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 4: And that's like, yeah, because that's that's a classic way

266
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: of doing it without.

267
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: Being too formal about it. It's polite.

268
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, you know, so I think I ended

269
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: up calling the chapter can I call you Bob? But

270
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: that's funny, that's like a I see from one about Bob.

271
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 4: But we go back there and then yes, the interview

272
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: was was amazing. You know, when he first came in,

273
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 4: you're so nervous and you have so many different ideas

274
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: what direction to go in. And obviously he's a legendary

275
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 4: actor and he's a hero of mine, and you know

276
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 4: you've got fifteen twenty minutes with him. But when he

277
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: came in that the word I described to describe it

278
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: was a vuncular like he truly was resembling an uncle

279
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: when he walked in, big smile, you had the long

280
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: silver hair, white beard. You know, couldn't have been friendlier.

281
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: And what I noticed this, he's a guy, he's you know,

282
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: of fantaciturn. But when the cameras are off, he relaxes immediately.

283
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: So we only had like maybe one other person with him.

284
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of mtourages, like literally Robert de

285
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Niro two time Academy, a ward winner, Raging Bowl, attaching

286
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: to or a good Fellas, all.

287
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: The rest of it has one guy with him.

288
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: His name was Stan, Like Kevin Hart had twelve people

289
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: with him, like this is gigantic entourage.

290
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: Kevin Heart well of the few people ever.

291
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 4: He literally would he would answer the questions guys like

292
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: while looking at his phone. And I remember before we started,

293
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: I said he ready, He said yeah, and he was

294
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: still looking at his phone. Now I supposed, to his credit,

295
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 4: he was so good at multitasking. He answered the question

296
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: well while looking at his phone. But I remember thinking

297
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: this is slightly rude. Couldn't imagine a different era of

298
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: you know, this was happening on the MERV Griffin Show.

299
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: But regardless, So Dinero was great. Once I said no cameras,

300
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 4: He's like, okay, right, I got We're just it's a podcast. Okay, great,

301
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: So he loosens up. We do the interview and he's wonderful.

302
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 4: Like a couple of times maybe he pause a little bit,

303
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: you jog his memory, but he's great, and he's really

304
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: sharp and cheer points Jeff that the best part was

305
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: when I was asking about a taxi driver, I said,

306
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: you know, I'm the son of Pakistani immigrants and from Toronto.

307
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 4: You know, I have no relation to a hohicidal cab

308
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: driver from New York City in nineteen seventy six. I

309
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 4: wasn't even born in the movie came out, and yet

310
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: I felt the real connection to the movie. The movie's

311
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: about loneliness and pent up rage and it really a

312
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,360

Speaker 4: her a little kiss on the cheeks.

329
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: She's like Oh my god, I can't leave. Robert DeNiro's

330

Speaker 3: And while I'm driving, I get an email.

334
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: It says from our dn's office and there's only one

335
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: r d in so pulled over and it said, Hey, Bob,

336
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: just want to say how much he enjoyed chatting with you.

337
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 4: Here's that article he mentioned and it was a link

338
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: to this article about the Hindu Coast of lost tribes

339
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: of Pakistan and tim You know this. We've interviewed hundreds

340
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: of people. Normally the interview ends, thanks for your time.

341
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: That's it.

342
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 4: There's no reciprocation the fact that at some point Robert

343
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: Deno went home and his helicopter would stand to Tribeca

344
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: and said, hey, we're going to find out that kid's

345
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: email address. He would enjoy that article. I was so touched.

346
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 4: I thought it was such a cool, cool little thing.

347
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: But a man.

348
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: The lesson there is the first question you asked him

349
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: wasn't hey, what's your favorite movie that you've ever been in?

350
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Like everyone else would ask him. You asked him about

351
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: you know the movie he did with his dad in Toronto,

352
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: didn't you? Or what's the story thereat memory?

353
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 4: Tim? Yeah, Wow, good on to you. I started by saying,

354
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 4: can I call you Bob? He says sure, I don't

355
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: think I can, then called him Bob. By the way

356
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: the rest of the interview, I think I just asked

357
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: the question, but it was just it was an ifforable

358
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: way of saying, can I call you Bob?

359
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: It's sure?

360
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: And then I went right to Tribecca, which was the

361
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 4: first thing, so I said, you know, you're such a Yeah,

362
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: I would try bacat first because the fast I had

363
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: the shirt on, so I was like, Ohmica Filmfest was

364
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: again how that get started? He was very deferential towards

365
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: Jane Rosenthal, he's producing partner, and spoke about that.

366
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: But then you're right. Second question was right to his dad.

367
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: I said, for such a private guy, who has never,

368
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: you know, been that outspoken about anything, although now he

369
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: said more than a few thoughts without the president, but

370
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: until that he's really been kind of a private guy.

371
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: I said, you made a documentary about your dad, and

372
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: like it's really a powerful documentary and your dad was

373
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: a painter, Like what was the essence of that.

374
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: So that's a great point to him.

375
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: I went with somewhere that I'm sure nobody else that day,

376
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: Certainly I'm sure Steven A. Smith wasn't asking you about

377
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: that on first take? What do you like better Yankees

378
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 4: are men? So was better Judge's dan? I'm gonna ask him,

379
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: But a documentary with your dad Ago, You're right, I

380
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: think that was a good little way to go in

381
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: there and go, Okay, this is not going to be

382
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: a typical interview. This guy's done his homework. He wants

383
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: to go in some different directions. So, yeah, that's a

384
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 4: good point by you. I've often found that, you know,

385
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: when I meet these people, I should, I suppose, on

386
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: some level ask them about what they're known for, but

387
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: I just can't help ask them but what I'm interested in.

388
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: It goes back to I'm sure Jeff you meet young

389
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: broadcasters as well, and you tell them listen. My advice

390
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: is do it your way, because when they get rid

391
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: of one day, you're never gonna having anyone else to

392
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: blame but yourself. Paul Giamady is a great example. GM

393
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: Moutis were my favorite actors. They've be him A couple

394
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: of years ago Critics Choice Awards, and again he's been

395
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: in so many great films, whether it's John Adams or

396
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: Private Parts or American Splendor, or Sideways or Cinderella Man.

397
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: But what I said the was I said, Paul, I've

398
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: listened to you on all these podcasts. At the time,

399
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: he was promoting, you know, the junky for The Holdovers,

400
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: which he was nominated for. So I said, listen, I've

401
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: heard you're promoting this new film, The Holdovers, which is brilliant.

402
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: You're so great, and I love all those movies.

403
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: But I said the movie I love this movie called

404
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 4: Barney's Version, and Gimi, without miscing beete was said, yeah,

405
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: that's an effing great movies. Nobody ever mentions that movie

406
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: to me, and I said, yeah, I said, Canadian goes.

407
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 4: Of course you're Canadian, the movie was said in Montreal,

408
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: because the only people I ever mentioned that movie to

409
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: mere Canadians. So you have a better chance of success

410
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: by going with what you're into in And I suppose

411
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: maybe there are times you'll get an Alan archetype response

412
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 4: like yeah, I made that movie, you don't really care

413
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: about it. Why don't you ask me about the stuff

414
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: that I'm known for. But generally speaking, they had so

415
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: many these interviews that are so wrote and so routine.

416
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: I think I have a better chance of success. You

417
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: go with what you're into. So yeah, it's a good tip,

418
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: you know.

419
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 5: And Nan, you and I have talked a lot about

420
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: young broadcasters and you know coming up in this and

421
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 5: I feel like and and God blessed my dad, who's

422
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: been you know, baseball writer for one hundred years at

423
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: this point, you know, your editor. Dad used to go

424
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: to you and say, how did you not ask ex

425
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 5: player about why situation?

426
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: You have to ask that question.

427
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: But now in the oversaturation of media, like everybody is

428
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: asking Kevin Costner what was it like to make this like?

429
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 5: And nobody cares about the answer, Like in my nobody.

430
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Cares about what was it like when you wrote that single?

431
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 5: No, I'd much rather ask about how Riley Green's getting

432
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 5: mad because Riley Green keeps getting tagged in his posts

433
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 5: when people are at because it's way funnier than like,

434
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: what was it like singing?

435
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: I wish Grandpa's never died at Fenway Park?

436
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 5: Like nobody you need to be specific, and you Adnan

437
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 5: are a perfect example.

438
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: My dad does this. I've learned so.

439
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 5: Much from my dad in this podcast for a year

440
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 5: and a half is He said, we need to open

441
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: up with something that.

442
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: Grabs our guests.

443
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 5: He debated for so long because if you don't know

444
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 5: this about ad Nan, if you don't get ad Nan

445
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 5: verk early, he's out.

446
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 4: He won't He won't give you a good.

447
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: Interview unless you grab him Merlin. So we debated back

448
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 5: and forth, do we say, did you just come off

449
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 5: the beach? Or how's the book? And he said, because

450
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 5: if we don't grab him early, we're dead.

451
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Jeff with cal Ripken, we did not ask him you

452
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: tell us about the streak. I mean that that would

453
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: have been the end of the interview, no matter how

454
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: well I know him. So we asked, of course, with

455
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: you know, when's the last time you dunked a basketball?

456
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: And now we've got his attention, and.

457
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: We kept his attention for forty five minutes. That's the

458
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: lesson that we all need to learn in podcasting. You're

459
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: right in and talk about what interests you. There's a

460
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: better chance it's going to interest your the guy you're interviewing,

461
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: because he doesn't get asked that every five minutes. That's

462
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: the question you lose him on.

463
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: Nicholas Cage was happily taken aback. When I brought up

464
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 4: bringing up the debt, He's like, oh man, Like we

465
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 4: literally like, oh man, I haven't talked about that forever.

466
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 4: He went to a long interview. The interview ends and

467
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: I had like eight minutes to to Jeff's points to

468
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: a junk. He looks at me and he goes, man,

469
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: bringing up the dead. No one's asked me about that

470
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 4: in the years, Like you are going to make their

471
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: day sometimes as soon as it doesn't work out, people,

472
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 4: I'm sure they love asking him about bad interviews that

473
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 4: we've had.

474
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

475
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: Keith David, who's a really good actor. You know, he's

476
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 4: narrated some of ken Burns and stuff. He's really funny.

477
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 4: And there's something about Mary plays a dad that famously

478
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: in the beginning where Ben s Teler gets a zipper cut,

479
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: I remember the interview was terrible. Afterward, it's like maybe

480
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 4: I just caught him on a bad day, Like I

481
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 4: just went in certain directions that they don't want to

482
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: go in. But more often than not, they're there for

483
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 4: a reason. You're there for a reason. Try to extract

484
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: what you can have fun with it and to Jeff's

485
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 4: when even if the Riley Green bombs, even if you

486
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: go I ever met Riley Green, who there's a tigers y,

487
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: you never heard of him, whatever, you still have a

488
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: moment that was like, this guy hasn't had that before.

489
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 4: It's different. You can play off it, you can be

490
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 4: self deprecating with your dad's turned into an art form

491
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: like you can go in any direction you want. So

492
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: it is definitely valuable advice. And one thing your dad's

493
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 4: always taught me as well.

494
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Give us somebody that you met on the red carpet

495
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: or someone that you never met before in the acting

496
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: business that was bigger than you thought, smaller than you thought,

497
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: had the biggest hands you've ever seen. Just give me something.

498
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: When you met the guy, you were startled by something

499
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: about him, maybe physically.

500
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: And it can be.

501
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: Good, it can be bad. I don't care.

502
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: I just want to know who did you meet?

503
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: You go, wow, I didn't see that coming.

504
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. When I was on the red carpet, the Austra

505
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: is the first time tim it was unbelievable. Some of

506
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: the night before you're kind of walking it and like

507
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: it could be the Kirchin family, rug I mean, it's

508
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 4: just like literally a red carpeting, some dog hair on

509
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 4: there especially, Okay, whatever, this carpet's seen some things.

510
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: And then the next dame, we're walking down there, and

511
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: I'll never forget how much light there was.

512
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: That's always the secret. People say, what happens? Why does

513
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: the movie star look so good? Good lighting? You know,

514
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: that's really the key. Barry Sonefeld, who was the great

515
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 4: cinematographer for years, he did Misery, Throw Mama from the Train,

516
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 4: and he did when Harry mett Sali. He became a

517
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 4: director in his own right. He did Men in Black

518
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: the sequel as well. Barry Sonefeld said, he goes, you

519
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 4: know the key when lightings. He works with Rob Ryder,

520
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 4: who was a great obviously comedic actor and became a

521
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: terrific director. He said the key was always about the lighting.

522
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: So he said, Billy Crystal and I had a blast

523
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: on when Harry met Sali. We I had to shoot

524
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: him a certain way. It's okay, just move here, blocking, etc.

525
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 4: He goes, Mega, rind can be a little bit difficult.

526
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: And then one time I always said there was maga

527
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 4: go wow, when you move in this direction, the lighting

528
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: really hits your face so perfect. Okay, no problem, I'll

529
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 4: never miss another mark again. So it tells you why

530
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: the lighting is so important. So at the Red Carpet

531
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 4: when I was walking it literally an hour.

532
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: Before all the movie starts, were there.

533
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 4: The lighting is unbelievab because there's lights everywhere, literally from

534
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 4: all over the world, from Australia, Zimbabwe. People are there

535
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 4: on the Red Carpet and you're walking along and there's

00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,080

Speaker 3: so much so.

552
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 4: The guy who I thought really had a lot of

553
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: presence when I went up to him to say hello

554
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: to him, because he was as cool as you thought

555
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 4: he would be, was Jeff Bridges. He literally looked like

556
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: the big Lebowski, Like the hair wasn't as long, but

557
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: the smile to twinkle in his eyes, like I go,

558
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: oh my god, like you're Jeff Bridges. Like whenever you

559
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: meet these people, you have to overcome that first five

560
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: seconds of oh my god, you're Samuel L.

561
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: Jackson.

562
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 4: But that is what's going through your mind.

563
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: With him, it lingered a little bit longer. It was

564
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: just a little bit of like.

565
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: A wow, you really are the dude, Like he really

566
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: has that essence about him, that kind of send quality

567
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 4: and like a natural affability and humor and and he

568
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: was great. And I said to him a movie I

569
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 4: love of yours is called Fearless. You know, I don't

570
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: know people mentioned. He goes, yeah, it's one of my

571
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 4: favorites too. I love them with David Samson loves that

572
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: movie as well. And then of course I mentioned the Lebowski,

573
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: but yeah, he was one that was definitely striking. Samuel L.

574
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 4: Jackson kind of gave me a bit of a glayer,

575
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 4: which I kind of liked. I was like, hey, that

576
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 4: kind of fits to what I expected. Samuel Jackie was

577
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 4: not the friendliest, kind of gave me a look of

578
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: an intimidation, like I felt like he was Jewels in

579
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 4: pulp fiction. But he was fine. But most these.

580
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: People these quick interactions, they're so friendly.

581
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: People often talk, but they're much shorter than they think,

582
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: which is what people often say to me. So I'm

583
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: actually thrilled the fact that a lot of that big

584
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: you Neil Everett's wife, of course, Neil Everrette of our

585
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 4: favorites from sports in for Yearshen I met Neil Evert's wife,

586
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: she said to me, oh wow, she was You're much

587
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 4: more handsome in person. And Neil without missing a beat

588
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: because yeah, but he's also a lot shorter.

589
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 5: And then and classically our favorite story, and we told

590
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 5: it last year on the podcast, is you're also young.

591
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 5: You come off as much younger than you actually are.

592
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 5: I mean, I thought when I first met you you

593
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 5: might have been twenty six, and then I find out

594
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: your son is your oldest.

595
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: Seventeen or something like that.

596
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: It's like what we were doing.

597
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: We were doing that baseball tonight in DC. We had

598
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 4: like the Marsha Monument in the back and as me

599
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 4: and your dad and Aaron Boone, and at some point

600
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: there was like a push up challenge we had to do,

601
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 4: and I said, oh my god, Like I said, you know,

602
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 4: Tim's in much better shape than people think. They just

603
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: go on because he's so self deprecating. Oh I'm five

604
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 4: foot four, have got a hairy ears. Whatever. I'm like, no,

605
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: a'broo Tim's basketball game, and I go, this is these

606
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: push ups are gonna knock out, and Booty's gonna laugh,

607
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: and booties look at me and Tim going now, you

608
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 4: guys have an advantage. Short guys are always much better

609
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 4: at push ups. This is gonna be no issue. But

610
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: I remember I remember just knocking out twenty push ups

611
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: with your dad live on television with now the current

612
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: Yankees manager and the Washington Monument in the back, and afterwards,

613
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 4: Jeff you were saying, you know, I don't know if Adan's.

614
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: Thirty two or forty two, which is an excellent point.

615
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 4: I think maybe I play older sometimes for my references

616
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 4: like I'm the guy laughing along with your dad when

617
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: he's mentioning the in laws and Alan Arkin, because I

618
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 4: love those movies in the seventies, and I like those references.

619
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 4: But then hopefully I'm young enough and using nivvia cream

620
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: that I can still pass off for being a relatively

621
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 4: young guy. So yeah, seventeen year old son. Now I'm

622
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: forty seven, so I could forty seven or fifty seven

623
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 4: depends or thirty seven, right, thirty seven, I'll take that.

624
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: That'd be great, Jeff.

625
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: The night we did the pushups was on the top

626
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: of a building in Washington, d C. Where that with

627
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: the Capital of the monument in the background, and they

628
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: were hitting the floor and doing twenty. It was the

629
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: toughest thing I've ever seen me booty and and in

630
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: it was so stupid.

631
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 5: It was so funny, and then you're you're an Emmy

632
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 5: Award winner. Congratulations, by the way. And I love when hosts,

633
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 5: especially if sports shows, interact pop culture movies, song quotes everything.

634
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 5: It's something my dad commends so many people that he

635
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 5: works with, because poor Dad can't make any quotes unless

636
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 5: it's a Billy Crystal movie. At this point, and why

637
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 5: don't you give me a paper cut or lemon juice

638
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 5: in it will close. That's what he loves to use

639
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: the most. But in and this is self serving, but

640
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: I want you to be so serving for you. What

641
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 5: is the deepest cut, movie line, actor, movie quote you've

642
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 5: ever pulled out? Where one person in America got it?

643
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great question, Jeff, I think you've asked

644
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 3: us before us.

645
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonnave you the same answer I've given you, which

646
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: is like, it's so ridiculous. But this was years ago

647
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: in Toronto. Andreas Lilia l l l I l JA

648
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: was I'm not getting like a seventh defenseman on the

649
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 4: Detroit Red Wings. And I just seen a.

650
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: Movie called Lilia Forever.

651
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: L I l Ya the number four than ever and

652
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 4: Andreas Lilia again never did anything of note. He's like

653
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 4: the twenty fifth player in the baseball team. But Andreas

654
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 4: Lilya happened to get the game winning goal and Andreas

655
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: Lilia scores.

656
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: Lilia Forever, And I'm not kidding one guy.

657
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 4: My buddy Alpha texted me and said, Lilya Forever is

658
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 4: a movie about a sex trafficking drama in Romania and

659
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 4: should just referenced it on the Sports Show and I said,

660
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 4: this is the clo. If you can't entertain yourself, what

661
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 4: are you doing this for? Lilian Forever?

662
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: Look it up.

663
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: That's the deepest cut ever. Literally, one guy got it,

664
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: my buddy offha, that's it.

665
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: As long as one guy gets it, that's all that matters.

666
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: Now.

667
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: And Nan, you have a real job in baseball, you

668
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: have children. How do you find the time to watch

669
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: all these movies. I don't watch anything except for Red's

670
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: Pirates games. It seems like how do you have time

671
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: to fill to watch all these movies.

672
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great question.

673
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 4: I remember years ago we were talking because you know

674
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 4: I always listen to you and respect you and everything,

675
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 4: whether it comes to baseball and life and fatherhood. And

676
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 4: I was asking you about, you know, raising your kids

677
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: and with Jeff and Kelly, and I said, you know,

678
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: maybe I'm doing this wrong team or maybe I'm just lucky.

679
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 3: But I said, working these nights together with you.

680
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 4: We're working five tim to one am, I feel like

681
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: I've got more time with my kids. And you said absolutely.

682
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 4: You said it's a real missnover. If I worked a

683
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 4: nine to five job, I would never see my kids.

684
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: But I said, work in this life, and you told me,

685
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 4: with Jeff and Kelly go I'd get up, I'd see

686
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 4: them in the morning, make them to school, I'd go

687
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: about my day. I'd go to the park. So I said,

688
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 4: I was actually really fortunate in that respect. I think

689
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: with our profession, Carl Rabbitson's the same thing. Ravie goes

690
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 4: with this life. You are working at nights, you do

691
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: definitely miss some of those games and extra cricular activities,

692
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: but the mornings are nice. You can you can definitely

693
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 4: spend that quality time together. And again once, once my

694
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: kids were of a certain age, when they were in school,

695
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: then it was much easier. I could literally just crank

696
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 4: at a movie like a bat and a kind of

697
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 4: thing and go into work.

698
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 3: And I always laugh. People said that that's if you

699
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: go to movies by yourself. I'm like, I prefer it

700
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 3: quite frankly.

701
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: Don't tell anybody, but I said, a one o'clock movie

702
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 4: by myself, and then you know, got my own popcorn

703
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 4: and milk dud's the way we go, and I can

704
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 4: head into the studio knock out the show.

705
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: So I think I'd just been lucky with.

706
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 4: Working these hours and even with the kids, and we

707
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 4: squeezed and we can, and to be honest with you,

708
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 4: once my kids have now gotten older, we can now

709
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: watch movies together. So it's nice that five by fourteen

710
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 4: year old son we got to watch. I showed him

711
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 4: The Naked Gun, the original with you and I Love

712
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 4: with obviously Leslie Nielsen, and then I took him to

713
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: go see the latest one with Liam Neeson, which was

714
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 4: a laugh riot. I mean, it's so rare for the

715
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: years you'd go and see a comedy in theaters. There's

716
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 4: something about Mary, the Hangover, etc. That doesn't happen anymore.

717
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 4: So it's so nice to have the Naked Gun in theaters.

718
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 4: And I got to share that with my son, not

719
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 4: only the original but the new one. So it's it's

720
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: kind of come full circle, which is nice.

721
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: And then does your fourteen year old do you look

722
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: at him and say, do you see the cinematography here?

723
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable?

724
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: Did you see the high angle shot? Or are you

725
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: just watching it to enjoy it with him?

726
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah? I'm just watching it enjoy with him. I tried

727
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 4: and failed to me miserably with my seventeen year old

728
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: when he turned sixteen. I said to him, hey, man,

729
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: this is like we're at the age now, like it's

730
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 4: go time.

731
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 3: He's like, what do you mean?

732
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 4: And I just literally opened up all my DVD collects.

733
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: I said, whatever you want, Like you want to watch

734
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: Good Fellows, you want to watch Taxi Driver, you want

735
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: to watch you know, The Godfather, whatever you want. So

736
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: he picked Good Fellows, which you literally did enjoy, and

737
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: he thought it was great. I think maybe just just

738
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: like the violence the first seat, you see a guy

739
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: stabbing Billy Batch, Joe Pestchy's going, oh, this movie is greatly.

740
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need to enjoy it.

741
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: But since then, like I showed him the trailer to

742
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 4: Scarface when he turned seventeen, like we're gonna watch scarfets

743
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: and I kind of give that awkward pause and I go,

744
00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 4: what is it?

745
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: He was like, you don't want to watch scar Facing?

746
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 4: You have no interest in this movie. It's Al Patrino,

747
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: it's Tony Montana, it's say Hello to my little friend,

748
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 4: who's kind of like all these mob movies, Dad, they

749
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 4: kind of like all familiar. Like, oh my god, you're

750
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: telling me that you think they're contrived, you think they're generic.

751
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 4: How How could you be my son. So I realized

752
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 4: not to push him too far, rather than make him

753
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: watch what I want to watch?

754
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: What do you want to watch?

755
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 4: But he likes action movies. Okay, we'll watch Face Off

756
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: or con Air or something along those lines. So it's

757
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 4: a little humbling to me and perhaps a failure as

758
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: a father. But no I tried to get to a

759
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 4: film geeky with them. I just let them enjoy the ride.

760
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 5: Well, you know, speaking of experience here, you know, I

761
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 5: had the same interaction with my dad, and you know,

762
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 5: we I hit a certain age and he said, I

763
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 5: think it's time for you to see some of these movies,

764
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: including mister Holland's Opus.

765
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: I was a big, big kid into music.

766
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, growing up.

767
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: I still play the piano and I still love music.

768
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: I was a theater kid growing up, and watching that

769
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: with my dad.

770
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: Was was so cool.

771
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 5: Play the sun Set Now, my dad obviously just quotes movies. Honestly,

772
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 5: it's slightly irre responsible times, Like even tell said, Dad,

773
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 5: I don't play the clarinet like she does.

774
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: I'm playing the piano.

775
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 5: But thank you, and or did Poet Society for that example,

776
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 5: That Dead Poet Society was a great movie, and it

777
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 5: was it was this kind of coming of age. And

778
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 5: now I watched Parenthood. I have a two year old daughter.

779
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: Now watch Parenthood right became I did when I was younger,

780
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: couldn't really relate ash might of mind, And now I

781
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: relate much.

782
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: Better as a thirty two year old with a two

783
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: year old, It's.

784
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: Important to be supportive. It's one of the great lines

785
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: in the history of movies.

786
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: Oh, Para is unbelievable, and Tim and I have laughed

787
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: at that movie so many times. The scene, I mean,

788
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: the scene where the kid finally makes that catch, I

789
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: mean that is the joy that any father would feel

790
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: like when you know that your kid's struggling. And also

791
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 4: that dance that Steve Martin gives it is absolute delarly

792
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 4: even it's so perfect and it's so funny, like, oh

793
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: my god, I felt that every time I've seen my

794
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 4: kids playing Little League. By the way, speaking of Piano's Jeff,

795
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: one of the funniest lines ever live AUDIESPN, involving your

796
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: dad and our friend Rick Suckliffe is your dad had

797
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 4: a great, great line.

798
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: This is like an all time great line.

799
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: Those what a great writer your dad is in creative thinker,

800
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: and he said about Mike Schmidt, you know he had

801
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 4: He's the greatest third basement of all time, not only

802
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: his strength but also his dexterity. He could move a

803
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: piano and he could play one too. And then there

804
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: was this pregnant pause you could drab a mac truck through.

805
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 4: And Rick Suckliffe says, I had no idea Schmitty could

806
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 4: play the piano.

807
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: Jeff, I was the dugout reporter that night, and I

808
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: had to come back on to say Schmidty can't play

809
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: the piano.

810
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 4: Okay, I was kiddy.

811
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: It was a line.

812
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: It was a joke.

813
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: And son, who he loved dearly, thought I was serious

814
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: that Mike Schmidt could not only play the piano, he

815
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: couldn't move it too. No, he can't play the piano.

816
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: But this is what happens against lost in translation. Boy,

817
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: it's so good, all right. And then speaking of baseball,

818
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, you're a native Canadian. The Blue Jays

819
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: are on their way potentially to winning the division. Where

820
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: are you on the Blue Jays?

821
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: Says?

822
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: We got to ask you a baseball question before we

823
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: let you go.

824
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: Tim. It's an incredible story. Every time we would sit together,

825
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 4: you'd turn me and go New Market. I've got family there,

826
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 4: like all right, all right, the Curtains are also traveling

827
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: in Canada.

828
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: Listen, it's a great story, man.

829
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 4: They're on pace with ninety five wins, which I haven't

830
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: done since nineteen ninety three when they won the World Series.

831
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 4: I like anybody in Canada, we call it Victoria Day

832
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: in America's Memorial Day. But May two for they were

833
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 4: twenty six and twenty seven, and I said, all right,

834
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: this is a fairly average team. They're gonna hover around

835
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 4: mediocrity and this is what it is, and Boba Schet's

836
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 4: gonna leave and all the rest of it. But then

837
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 4: vlad gets signed a five hundred million dollars and all

838
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 4: of a sudden they take off.

839
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: And you've seen this before.

840
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 4: And I think of you all the time, Tim when

841
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 4: you told me about circle games. You know there's a

842
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: pointless season, Jeff, where you're watching a team and you go,

843
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: that's a circle game.

844
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: That's a pivotal moment. This is a turning point.

845
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: Sometimes, by the way, a circle game can go in

846
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 4: the other direction, like this is the loss, that is

847
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: the nature of this team season. But sometimes that circle

848
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: game can propel a team, and for the Blue Jays

849
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: that stretched since Memorial Day. They just took off. And

850
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: what's been so good about it is the depth of

851
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: their lit up. It's the unsung heroes that were really

852
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: the story. Addison Barber has been an absolute stud. When

853
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 4: Dalton Varshow went down, Anthony Santandero was their big free

854
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: agent Office's an acquisition went down. The Ernie Clements have

855
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 4: stepped up, the Heineman's, the Straws and the bullpen, Little

856
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: Rodriguez Eric Lower's been a great fifth starter for them.

857
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 4: And then the last month it's been now the stars

858
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 4: have been the stars. Like now vlad Junior is hitting

859
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: three hundred, has an on base of four hundred, has

860
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 4: a slugging.

861
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: A five hundred.

862
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 4: To your dad's other favorite sport, basketball, That to me

863
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 4: is like Steve Dash or Steph Curry shooting forty percent

864
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: from three, fifty percent from the field, ninety percent from one.

865
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 4: That's what Vad Junior is doing right now. That's why

866
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: he's a superstar. Bobashed had a bad year last year.

867
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: It's an aberration. Now he's gonna get two hundred hits.

868
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 4: He's gonna leave the league in hitting. He's slugging as well.

869
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: Your stars are stepping up Max Scherzer, who is great.

870
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 4: The last four starts has looked like Max Schurzer again,

871
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 4: and the rotation isn't anything to phone home about, Tim.

872
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 4: I think certainly, when you look at the other teams,

873
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 4: you know who you're matched up with. Their aces, the

874
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 4: Tigers and Scooball Framber and the Astros you know Logan Gilbert,

875
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: the Marriers, you know, Gosman, Burrios are.

876
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 3: Not of that ilk.

877
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 4: But they're solid, they're durable, they're dependable. If those guys

878
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 4: are veteran pitchers, they've been there before. I think Bieber

879
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 4: they took a flyer, and I'm curious how he pans out.

880
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: So praise of great triple A a former sign Award

881
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 4: winner they get for thirty cents on the dollar, and

882
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 4: all of a sudden maybe he could be a star

883
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 4: for them. So I think there's genuine concerns sometimes at

884
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: the starting pitching the bullpen Jeff Hoffin can be a

885
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 4: little bit of radic.

886
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 3: The saves are a bit misleading, doesn't have a Ford

887
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 3: a half vra.

888
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 4: But their offense can bang. I mean, these guys score

889
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 4: runs and I will tell you back home in Toronto,

890
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 4: they're feeling the fever right now because there's no clear

891
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 4: cut favorite, as you know, in the American League, like

892
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 4: the Marriers look really good, but Suarez has yet to

893
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 4: get going. Obviously thought he'd be a great trade pickup.

894
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 4: Astros are hovering around holding on that division. The Tigers

895
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: aren't what they thought, the Yankees are, Buddy Boonie, it's

896
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 4: been up and down, Cora. The Red Sox look good.

897
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: Not sure I they're starting pitchings enough. So there's a

898
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of premature excitement, perhaps you can say,

899
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 4: in Toronto right now, people are really hoping this Blue

900
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 4: Jays team can go deep and it'd be a great

901
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 4: story to see. I still have vivid memories what they

902
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 4: did and.

903
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Where were you in nineteen ninety two, ninety three, Where

904
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: were you and what were you thinking when the Blue

905
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: Jays won two years in a row.

906
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 5: I think he was just born, right, Nan, aren't you

907
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 5: low thirties right?

908
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 4: Well, that's Jeff No. I was fourteen and fifteen and

909
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 4: when it happened, and I still had unbelievable memories. You know,

910
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 4: if I closed my eyes again, see George Bell making

911
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 4: the catch in eighty five.

912
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: I was seven years old.

913
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 4: As you know, those are the memories when you're six,

914
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 4: seven eight that will never leave you and that you're

915
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 4: always gonna be thinking about. And I remember, Okay, wow,

916
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 4: the Jay's Actually they win the Division eighty five. What

917
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 4: can happen?

918
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: Eighty seven I'll never forget. God, they had a terrible

919
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 3: tail spit.

920
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: They end three and a half game lead, seven games

921
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 4: to go, they lose the Tigers Bill Madlock slide up

922
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 4: ends Tony Fernandez, one of my favorite players, Tony Finns.

923
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 4: I can still see it, shattering his elbow as he fell.

924
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 4: And then of course eighty nine we have fan fast

925
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 4: Skydom opens, They've got the All Star Game, and then

926
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety three.

927
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: It's amazing, Tim, you remember vividly as do I.

928
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 4: But people forget, like Toronto was the episode of the

929
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 4: Baseball Universe.

930
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 3: If you wanted to win, you had to go to Toronto.

931
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 4: I'm huge Dave Winfield, if you were Paul maltor, if

932
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: you were David Cohen, like the best players of the

933
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 4: game were going to Toronto.

934
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 3: They wanted to win, and so I'll never forget.

935
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 4: Well, obviously, when they won against the Braves and ninety

936
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 4: two Mike tim on that last name and the cars.

937
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 4: Joe Carr I was fifteen years old, jumping up indemnic Lee.

938
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 4: I still always tell our friend Sean McDonough he's the

939
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 4: only broadcaster ever to have called the World Series win

940
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: for the Blue Jays, So somehow he's gonna get back

941
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: on the booth.

942
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: We love Joe Davis, but we need Sean mcdonna call it.

943
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 4: By the way, Sean mcdonna called the Four Nations this year,

944
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 4: we're speaking of our rival countries, Canna versus us, nothing

945
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 4: bigger in hockey. And again Canada is able to prevail

946
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: with Sean mcdonne at the mic. So we gotta get

947
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 4: Sean in the booth there for another Blue Jay's World Series.

948
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 4: And by the way, Sean also called your dad in

949
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 4: the sausage race. Jeff, don't forget the Ouys was in

950
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: the sausage race, I asked Sean.

951
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: I go if all the accomplished was Blue Jay's World Series.

952
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 4: Tim kirkh and the sausage race going the wrong way,

953
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 4: that's gonna be top five.

954
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: Thank you for bringing up such an unpleasant subject.

955
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: Why don't you give me a paper cut and poet lemon.

956
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: Juice in it close. All right, we're changing the subject.

957
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: And man, how do you explain a kid from Toronto

958
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: loves the Philadelphia Eagles. Where did that come from?

959
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 4: Great question, Tim, So years ago again it was a

960
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 4: little kid again in the mid eighties and your formlest memories.

961
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 4: My brother was an Oilers fan because he loved the

962
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 4: great dynasty of Gretzky and Curry and Messi and all

963
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 4: the rest of it.

964
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 3: So naturally being brothers. I don't know if you have

965
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: this relationship, Tim, with your brothers, but.

966
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: I said, you know, I'll just cheer against him, like

967
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 4: it's Oilers versus Well, who's the other team.

968
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: I'll be a Flyers fan.

969
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 4: Great, So Philadelphia plays him in eighty five, Oilers beat

970
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: them in five, eighty seven, Oilers Flyers rematch, Oilers win seven.

971
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 4: I'm crying Tim to my dad. I gotta understand, like

972
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 4: his team won lasted, had the bye team out win

973
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 4: this time, But don't worry one time, your team's gonna win.

974
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 4: The Flyers still have not won a Stanley Cup since

975
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy five, by the way, so we're still waiting.

976
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 3: But in the throes of cheering for the Flyers.

977
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 4: I said, well, I love this guy, Randall Cunningham Man.

978
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 4: He's so much fun to watch, and I love this

979
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 4: great Eagles defense. I've already got one Philadelphia team, which

980
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: is pretty quirky for a guy from Toronto. Why don't

981
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: we make it two Philadelphia teams, which would be rather unusual.

982
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 4: I'll be the one Gnadian who loves the Flyers and

983
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 4: the Eagles amongst all his teams. And so I got

984
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 4: to endure and see a lot of great football, but

985
00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 4: a lot of losses.

986
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 3: People would laugh that.

987
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 4: Say, you know, you could have cheered for the New

988
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 4: York Giants, you could have cheered for the Washington like

989
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 4: they've won super Bowls, and said, you chose the Philadelphia Eagles.

990
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: I said, well, sometimes when it comes to teams, you

991
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: don't choose them, they choose you. And finally, I've been

992
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 4: vindicated with two Super Bowls over the last seven years.

993
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 4: And Jeff knows what it's like being in Philly, what

994
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 4: that environment is like, and the passionate they have for

995
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 4: the Eagles. You know, only won seven years ago. It

996
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 4: was a great story. Wentz went down and they were

997
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 4: able to step up with folds. But this team was

998
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 4: a true juggernaut, and again of being able to enjoy

999
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 4: it with my kids, it has been so much fun

1000
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 4: to see. I love Kevin de Gandhi, but n Gandhi

1001
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: when the Eagles made the first Super Bowl, like he

1002
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 4: left his kids to go watch the Super Bowl, I'm

1003
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 4: going to the gaming. So you took your kids. No,

1004
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: I'm going that's hilarious, But I said, I want to

1005
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: see it with my kids. So I was so being

1006
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 4: able to watch it with them and see us win

1007
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: and to beat Mahomes and the Chiefs. I still can't

1008
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 4: believe it happened. But it's been a wonderful, wonderful time

1009
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 4: to be an Eagles fan.

1010
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: And I have one more question for you.

1011
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 5: That's going to tie baseball and your love of movies together.

1012
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: Now we know, and we talk about it a lot here.

1013
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 5: A lot of celebrities are big into baseball itself. You know,

1014
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 5: you've got Jerry Seinfeld's of the world, right, you know,

1015
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 5: Jason Bateman's a big Dodgers fan. But is there anybody

1016
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 5: you've run across that you know you maybe wanted to

1017
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 5: talk movies with and you ended up talking more baseball and.

1018
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: You're like this guy really knows his or her stuff.

1019
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Billy Bob Thornton was a huge one. He's in

1020
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 4: the book as well. I remember meeting him and all

1021
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: he wanted to talk about was the Cardinals, and like

1022
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 4: he is a true huge baseball fan, And I said,

1023
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 4: you know, he's from Arkansas. There was a time, tim

1024
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 4: knows anybody, Saint Louis was the most westernmost city. So

1025
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 4: if you weren't from the eastern seaport, and you were

1026
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 4: from anywhere in the south of the West, you were

1027
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 4: just a Cardinals fan because that was the closest team

1028
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: to you. So he said he grew up wanting to

1029
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 4: be a pitcher and even used a term which is

1030
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 4: like an air of the sixties and seventies. Timmy goes,

1031
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 4: I was a junkballer. What he said, it's the first

1032
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 4: kind of picture that he was. Billy Bob Thorton was

1033
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 4: a junk baller. He wanted to be a pitcher. And

1034
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 4: you know he's a huge actually you know passes it musicians. Well,

1035
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 4: became an actor. But like he's watching every game and

1036
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 4: he's talked about being in the booth and he goes,

1037
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: I had such respect because I was with Mike Shannon

1038
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 4: and Jack Buck and I saw I'm gonna call the game,

1039
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: and he goes, I was petrified. I don't know how

1040
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 4: you guys do this, not after night like he had

1041
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: such respect for it, but loves the game, knows the

1042
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 4: game like Billy Bob Thornton is watching. And you're right,

1043
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 4: Babman's I've asked Joe Buck, Jeff to your point, I go, like,

1044
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 4: give me the biggest celebrity ones and he goes.

1045
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 3: Jason Bateman like scores the games.

1046
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: Like he goes to Dodge. He's scoring the game. I asked,

1047
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: when the guy's on Ozark, He said. Bateman DBRs the

1048
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 4: games the next one he gets it before him. He

1049
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: watches the Dodgers games, phone is off, like these guys

1050
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 4: are a different and Eddie Veteran like as big as

1051
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 4: it gets from the Cubs. SUT's told us that, I

1052
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 4: mean they go on the road, they're watching Cubs games.

1053
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 4: If these fans are like that, they they just want

1054
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 4: to talk baseball list. They don't want to talk about

1055
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 4: their craft. They just want to talk about the game history.

1056
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 4: And look what happened to the seventh inning? It's great,

1057
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: so good, all right, and then.

1058
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: We're getting that.

1059
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, we're getting you back to the beach, but

1060
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: we have to tell a repete story, give us the

1061
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: greatest one. Involving you, the greatest Dan levantar looks like

1062
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: involving you, just tell us one more time.

1063
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: So for years I was like, man, you know, I

1064
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: love this Dan Levatard show. They're so great.

1065
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 4: They're still funny, and it's like having a friend who's

1066
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 4: like a middler, to use a term from Kirby Enthusiasm, Right,

1067
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: Larry David goes, there's a coman who's a great middler.

1068
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 4: They can make that conversation with two people. And I

1069
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 4: would say, Tim, tell me more about Dan. And Tim's

1070
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 4: telling me he's like, oh, listen, Like I've known Dan forever.

1071
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 4: He's a brilliant guy. So fu he's a great writer.

1072
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 4: And I said this show is so good and Tim's like, yeah,

1073
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 4: it's so good because they just don't care, like it's

1074
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: so irreverent and it's so silly and it's so stupid,

1075
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 4: like it's truly you don't get the show, like they

1076
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 4: are literally entertaining themselves and they don't care if you

1077
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 4: like it or not. And I said, this looks like game,

1078
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 4: it's so ridiculous, and they're going through different people in

1079
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,000

Speaker 3: You want something so bad, it's gonna be awful.

1094
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,200

1096
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: was literally this adnam Urk looked like the secret agent who,

1097
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 4: while an assignment, extends a warm hand and helps out

1098

00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: And then just the kicker and we'll get you out

1102
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: of here with this answer. Jeff, I think you know

1103
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: this story. But Ad and I did a game in

1104
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Aaron Judge hit a home run.

1105
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: Soon after he did this.

1106
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: Thing on the Levantard Show and tell us a Dan

1107
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: the greatest slash worst home run call in the history

1108
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: of the game was tell everyone what you said when

1109
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge hit a missile into the center field seat.

1110
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jeff, it wasn't quite little here forever, but it

1111
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 4: was pretty good. And I knew in my head on

1112
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: this I'm gonna do it. And to Tim's point, this

1113
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: is a July fourth game. This is a big aunt.

1114
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 4: It's Yankees, it's Aaron. You can't get bigger than this.

1115
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 4: This isn't like sneaking in a joke and the seventh

1116
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 4: inning of aforementioned Pirates Reds game. Okay, if a couple

1117
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 4: of guys get it, fine, I'm taking the biggest stage possible.

1118
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 4: And as soon as Judge hit it, I deep to center.

1119
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 4: Welcome to Dangier, like that's the home run call. And afterwards,

1120
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 4: the tweets are out of control. The Levator universe is

1121
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: going nuts. And the big story afterwards was and this

1122
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 4: is what they said to Dan. They go, as the

1123
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 4: ball is hit, you hear a slight chuckle from your dad,

1124
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 4: and they go, is he laughing because you know Zadyan's

1125
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 4: about to say Welcome to Tangier? Or is he laughing

1126
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 4: because the ball and Dan goes. I've known Tim forever.

1127
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: He had no idea what Adan's gonna say.

1128
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: He couldn't care less.

1129
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 4: He's laughing because the way he hit the ball, because

1130
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 4: that's he's such a nerd for baseballs, going, Oh, look

1131
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 4: at the way he crushed it. Welcome to Tangier. That's

1132
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 4: nice to go the cake and.

1133
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,479
Speaker 1: Is exactly right. I was laughing out loud at how

1134
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: hard Aaron Judge hit that ball. But then we continue

1135
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: to laugh after the Welcome to Dangier home run call.

1136
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: It was the greatest home run call in the history

1137
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: of baseball. I loved it, and we may and tell

1138
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: that story every time we're with him, because nothing's better

1139
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: than that.

1140
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 4: Speaking of great moments, the only thing that could have

1141
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 4: topped it was Eduardo Pressbother was in the booth with us,

1142
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 4: went Jeff, when your dad was in the Celebrity All stam.

1143
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 4: I still have the image and blazing in my mind,

1144
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 4: just Kirkchin and your dad suiting up for the jersey.

1145
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: Tim, that moment when you came to the plate.

1146
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was base as luterat on,

1147
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 4: but as you said to me, if I hit a

1148
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 4: home run right now, I'll just look up to God

1149
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 4: in the heavens to go. You can take me now.

1150
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: And Nana, I was not kidding around. If I had

1151
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: gotten one more at Bad in the Celebrity Softball Game

1152
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: and walked off a grand Slam walk off to win

1153
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: the Celebrity Softball Game, Woul I would have said, that's it.

1154
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 2: I can't get any better than this.

1155
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: You can take me right now.

1156
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 4: I don't care.

1157
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: Fortunately, I didn't get another at bad and we lost

1158
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: by three runs. It would have been the greatest walk

1159
00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: off in the history of baseball slash Softballah.

1160
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna listen the story from you, Tim before you

1161
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 4: let me go, because I was talking with my fourteen

1162
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 4: year old son and Wet, I gotta tell you know

1163
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 4: type of the birds and the bees, and you told

1164
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 4: me one of the funniest stories ever. The story you

1165
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 4: told me, what you told jeff And the punchline is

1166
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 4: two words tell the story, all right?

1167
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: So I have to Jeffery's taking family life. He's eleven.

1168
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: So Kathy Kirch and my wife says, you have to

1169
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: talk to him about the birds and the bees. And

1170
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I have no idea how to do this.

1171
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure I know about the birds and

1172
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: the bees. So I sit him down. I had this

1173
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: conversation with him. I'm much more direct and specific than

1174
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was I was going to be. I

1175
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: explained everything. And the next day Jeffrey comes back to

1176
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: me and he says, Dad, he's eleven. Thanks so much

1177
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: for that conversation last night. He goes, I know that

1178
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: was really hard for you. Like he's like getting me

1179
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: off the hook, and he goes, I only have one question.

1180
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: Is it one word or is it too? Is it

1181
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: and erection or.

1182
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 4: Is it in erection?

1183
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: Is it one word or is it to.

1184
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 2: A verber noun? We're not sure.

1185
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 1: So years later, jeff is now eighteen and we're watching

1186
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: a movie down on the basement, just the two of us,

1187
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: and some inappropriate movie comes on and there are hormones

1188
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: flying all over the TV channel. And he looks at

1189
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: me and he.

1190
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: Goes, Dad, it's two words.

1191
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,040

1207
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 4: the way, the last story I do have to tell,

1208
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 4: so you know, I had not been to Cooperstown since

1209
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 4: I was a kid, but once once Tim was inducted,

1210
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 4: I said, I'm not missing this for the world. So

1211
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 4: me and John Fisher drove up there and Jeff, there's

1212
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 4: you know, this big giant, you know poster. Everyone can

1213
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: write messages to your dad and stuff. And I said,

1214
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 4: you know, what should I write to your dad? Something

1215
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 4: that you know shows so much to respect him and

1216
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 4: love him, to admire him. And instead of doing that,

1217
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 4: what did I write? Tim? On your message?

1218
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: He wrote, he wrote my favorite line from the most

1219
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: underrated movie ever, searching for Bobby Fisher. I mean, these

1220
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: are the questions that I asked to add in give

1221
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: me the movie that nobody else really loved, but you did.

1222
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: Mine is searching for Bobby Fisher. And I'm looking at

1223
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the poster.

1224
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 3: Right now, Jeff.

1225
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: You know what my Oh yeah, And it says he's

1226
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: not weak, he's decent. And if you or Bruce or

1227
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: anyone else tries to beat that out of him, I'll

1228
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: take him away.

1229
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 4: I swear to God.

1230
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: That's what he wrote. When I went into the Hall

1231
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:14,560
