1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: John Smoltze stopped by yesterday. We had a chance to

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: talk to him. He of course is the lead analyst

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: for Fox Baseball. He's a Hall of Famer as well,

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: And I ask him, what is tougher to master baseball

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: or golf?

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: Golf?

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just there's too many elements that you know,

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 4: no teammates to bail you out right, and you got

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 4: to be fundamentally sound and mentally strong because there's always

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 4: a weakness in some part of your game, and the

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 4: golf course will find it even if you try to

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 4: stay away from it. So I've never been nervous literally

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 4: in a baseball game other than the first time I

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 4: threw a pitch when I got signed. And in golf,

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 4: I can play practice rounds with anybody. I'll play anybody

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 4: because there's not the same pressure when you get in

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 4: a tournament. It's different.

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: But you've played with Tiger before, Yeah, no pressure, No,

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: you just know if you miss the green, you lose.

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: I mean.

23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: And plus I said something that that the same thing

24
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 4: I said to Maddox in their sports I said, Greg,

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 4: how hard is it to pitch when it's two on

26
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 4: every hitter, like seriously, but he got o two on

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 4: every hitter. That's what made him so special. And I

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: told Tiger, I said, how hard is to play golf

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: when you know what club to hit every time? He said,

30
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: you know, his ability to be creative and just pure

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: shots after. I mean, that's obviously why he's the greatest

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 4: to ever play.

33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: But also the ball isn't moving right, it's right there

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: and it's it almost paralyzes people, and it's not moving well.

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: Professional golf ruins. All casual golfers ruins because they see

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: the professional golfers stare at a two foot putt for

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 4: about a minute and a half, they go through their routine.

38
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: They're very I mean, they're playing for tons of money,

39
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: they're playing on incredible conditions. And then you watch the

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: average golfer just try to do the same thing, and

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 4: it does parallel. The longer you stay over the ball,

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: the worse it gets unless you're a professional. And so

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: there is truth to the ball's not moving. And then

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: you think about, you know, if you have any negative thoughts,

45
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: you're done. And then if you have anybody telling you

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: don't do this, you're done. Because the brain only remembers

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: don't hit it right, so you hit it right. And

48
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: at least in baseball and on the mound, I controlled

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: the tempo, I controlled the action, and I could take

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: out certain aggression if I wanted to on the mount,

51
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 4: where you can't do it on golf, the matter you get,

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 4: the more intense, the more adrenaline. It's bad for golf,

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: it can be good for other sports.

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: We talked about this a couple of weeks ago when

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: oh Tony was coming back, and we thought, could you

56
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: just have him for one inning and make him a

57
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: closer as opposed to trying to move him along so

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: he can get the three innings and then four innings

59
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: and five innings and then and I don't know if

60
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: you run the risk more of Tommy John as a

61
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: starter than you do you know, a closer, but you

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: were both well.

63
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: I can tell you this. Everyone thought it was going

64
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: to be easier on my elbow when I went to

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 4: the bullpen, and it was worse because you're up and

66
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 4: you're getting heat hot high all the time, and you

67
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: don't always get in. I had one hundred and twenty

68
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: five stop keeping track one hundred and twenty five times

69
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: I was up in a season. I got into seventy

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: eight games, So imagine all those other times that you

71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: don't get in because the score doesn't work. They score

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: a runner either way, So it's got to be controlled.

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: The problem with Otani is he could come up in

74
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: the bottom of the eighth, so when does he warm up?

75
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: So the ninth inning doesn't work as well as he

76
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 4: and you could make it that way where he could

77
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: control the ninth inning. And let's say it's his day

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: to pitch and you're up by six.

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: So the closers roles, why are you adding logic to this.

80
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: We're trying to get We're trying to go viral here.

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: That scold says, I'll tell you that you should be

82
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: a closer.

83
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this. There is a greater possibility that

84
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: could happen in the postseason than a regular season. So

85
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: I think there's things that can be worked out. He's

86
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: such a freaking nature that I probably wouldn't take him

87
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: long to get ready. He's so athletic. I did the

88
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: last game. Everything about him looked great on the mound,

89
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: And I know I take grief no matter what I say,

90
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: because there's people on the other side right. So that's

91
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: why I don't have any social media. But I gave

92
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: him the ultimate compliment I could give somebody, and they

93
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: believe me. They got on me for this because they

94
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: didn't understand what I was saying. I said, it's hypothetical,

95
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: it'll never happen. If he never hits for one year

96
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: and just pitches, he'll be the best pitcher in baseball period,

97
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 4: hands down. It's not even a debate. He's trying to

98
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 4: navigate one of the greatest hitters of all time and

99
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: trying to pitch. He's got so many things and so

100
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 4: many balls in the air that he's trying to juggle.

101
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: If all he did was concentrate on pitching, what my

102
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 4: eyes see and what he's able to do, hands down, now,

103
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: Jacob de gram was one of the best ever when

104
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: he was healthy and now that he's come back and

105
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: he had the part time hit like when he was

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 4: in the National League, But all he had to do

107
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: was think about pitching. And it's a lot it's a

108
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: tough job, but all you have to do is think

109
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: about pitching. It's a lot easier than if you have

110
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: to think about getting you batting practice, scouting reports, my

111
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: back's a little tweak, I following off my calf, you know,

112
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: all those things that that never go into the play

113
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 4: of a picture. And so I don't know if people

114
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: thought I was slight number. If I don't know, it

115
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: doesn't matter.

116
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: You you got off social media.

117
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: I've never been on it. I'm not.

118
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: And there's a reason. I mean, is your wife on

119
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: or your kids? Now?

120
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: My kids begged me forever, and now that they see

121
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: some of these things, they see they go, Dad, you

122
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: were smart media? Because how does it not affect you?

123
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: Because I don't know. Somebody will tell me, but it's fine.

124
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: You know, they'll tell me like, hey, you're rooting for

125
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. Hey you're rooting for the Yankees, or hey

126
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: you hate the Yankees. Because I would meet those people

127
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: like I would find a place and meet them and

128
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: want to talk. See if they could say that to

129
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: my face, because that's the kind of person I am.

130
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: You would Yeah, if I had social media, I would

131
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: want to meet them somewhere that would never work.

132
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: It's good.

133
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what I don't know, I don't care, And

134
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: you know, I like people not knowing where I'm at.

135
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: You should talk to you, o Buck.

136
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: I have and he he and it's look that that industry.

137
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: I get it.

138
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: I've probably lost a whole great opportunities in things that

139
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: could come about if I had social media, But I'm

140
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: fine with it.

141
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: Has Aaron Judge graduated into and I don't know the expression,

142
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: but Bonzian.

143
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, he's got called up to another league.

144
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: That's how he's in with Barry Bonds, though he is

145
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: is Otani in there, absolutely anybody else in there.

146
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 4: I think Soto has the impact on a club that

147
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: Bonds would have on a club. He Soto's not gonna

148
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: put up the numbers that Bonds did. But when I

149
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: when you talk about impact him standing in a lineup

150
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: and never swinging making that club better, that's the Bonds effect, Okay,

151
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: because the guys before him are going to benefit because

152
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: you don't want them on base and you don't want

153
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: to face Barry Bonds with men on. And I think

154
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: that's the same thing. What Judge has done is closed

155
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 4: windows of pitchers, getting him out like windows of opportunities,

156
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 4: swung a little bit too much, expanded his own that's gone.

157
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 4: You still cant him out. He's human, but but what

158
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: he's done is going to the next level now and

159
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: has struck fear in every picture, and they no longer

160
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: can approach him the same way. Soto's the same way.

161
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: He's not gonna chase and Otani can be in so

162
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: many different ways.

163
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: You know.

164
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: When he's a full time pitcher and a hitter, maybe

165
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: his legs aren't as big of a game like we

166
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: saw last year's Salem fifty bases. But it's it's it's

167
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: interesting to watch the progression now fair or not, Judge

168
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: is going to only be judged in the postseason.

169
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: Had I got a couple of things too for him.

170
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: If you're casting actors to play you in the the

171
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: John Smoltz movie, now I've got some ideas.

172
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: You throw some at me.

173
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got Jason Statham, I'm not sure a big

174
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: action hero. Okay, you'd like him. John Malkovich, that's a

175
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: good one. Bruce Willis getting closer. JK. Simmons, he was

176
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: in Whiplash. I'm leaning towards Okay, so Bruce Willis, and

177
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: then you could play yourself.

178
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: I do have some acting roles. I have been in

179
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: a couple of movies.

180
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: What were you in?

181
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: I was in The Change Up? But I got cut.

182
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: So I didn't think that you weren't in it.

183
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: I still get paid, but but you weren't getting twenty

184
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: bucks every two weeks. What else were you I was in? Oh,

185
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: now I'm drawing a blank, great movie about Oh no,

186
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: I'm embarrassing baseball with the bad lakes. Great story. Oh

187
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: my gosh, you had the two braces. He waited to

188
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: triple a. It's just it's awesome movie. I'm an old

189
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: time announcer. I've got the hat on. Man, this is

190
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: embarrassing because I did it and I kind of killed it.

191
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: I mean, well, yeah, yeah, I watched it, and I

192
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: was pleased with my with my role.

193
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: Let's see, how about this if I said, you can

194
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: start a guy, bench a guy, or cut a guy.

195
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: Albert Poohols start benure, cut, Alex Rodriguez start bencher, cut,

196
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: or Joe Mauer start bench or cut? Wow, so who's starting?

197
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: You're good at this game?

198
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: I'm starting Albert Poohol's okay benching.

199
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: I am going to bench Joe Mauer and cut a

200
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 4: rod only because I already have a right hand hitter

201
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: starting okay, so I wouldn't need another right hand or

202
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: so I got lefty on the bench.

203
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yes, Paul.

204
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: The movie was called The Hill, co starring John Smoltz.

205
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: The Hill. Absolutely, thank you for saving me a very

206
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: embarrassive Yeah, you get to say thank you. It was

207
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: The Hill. Great story, Dennis Quade, And.

208
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: Just to say that I looked a little like Dennis Quaid,

209
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: I can see that, Yeah, has I can see that. Yeah,

210
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm very distinguished. My final question to you, and it

211
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: didn't happen very often for you. When you go to

212
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: the mound and you know you don't have anything, what

213
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: what is that feeling like really trying to pretend or

214
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: fool Yeah, and that's what I.

215
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: Had to learn. I was awful at it. I was

216
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: very I'm a guy that wears his emotions passion bucket.

217
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: You know, we've talked about that. I've had an empty

218
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: passion bucket before I've emptied it. But I had to

219
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 4: learn from Glad and how to fake it. And I

220
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 4: would have a bullpen session. Sometimes it'd be phenomenal. I'd

221
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 4: go out and I'm like what happened, and it'd be

222
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: the opposite. So I learned that the bullpen session was

223
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 4: just a warm up and to get in the game,

224
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: you had to be. You had to be. When a

225
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: pitcher stands on a mound, the hitters at the plate,

226
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: someone has the edge and they know it. The key

227
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: is not to convey to the other person who has

228
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 4: the edge, and that is a huge key, and some

229
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: young players do it really easily. Nineteen ninety six, last

230
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: start World Series against Andy Pettitt, I was exhausted closing

231
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: in on three hundred innings and I had nothing, zero,

232
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 4: and I kept coming in the innings. I always used

233
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: to Glad was my guy to kind of like Glad,

234
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: I got nothing and he goes trick them. Come into

235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: second inning. I said, I can't throw my slider. I

236
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 4: got nothing. Trick them. He said that eight times and

237
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: I lost one. Nothing, But I got into through eight

238
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: innings when there was no reason based on the way

239
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: I felt. So I had to learn it. And I

240
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: was bad early and pretty good.

241
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: Like but that's pitching as opposed to throw it.

242
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's that's what we've talked about before. And

243
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: these guys are not going to be given that opportunity anymore.

244
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 4: They don't have it. They're out and then this is

245
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 4: and they're fine with it. Management's fine with it. But

246
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: anybody who loses velocity or gets hurt doesn't have the

247
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: opportunity to continue to pitch with a new toolbox, like

248
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: the cc Sabathias when they lose their stuff, that those

249
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: guys are gone, Like he was a ninety six, ninety

250
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 4: seven on our stud learned how to pitch at ninety

251
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: kurse show be the last one we'll ever see. And

252
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: that saddens me for a sport that I played and

253
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 4: love and and I hope we turn that around. I

254
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: hope we find a way to not be so addicted

255
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: to the you know, the radar gun in velocity.

256
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: Nobody would teach Clayton Kershawn's motion, Nope.

257
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: And that's what makes it unique and great. And I

258
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: think that's gone too. Like you see the robotics side step,

259
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 4: like everyone's picking up pitching on of the shit.

260
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: It's like golfer is trying to be Tiger. It's all

261
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: cookie cutter.

262
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but at least golf Jim Furick always everyone's got

263
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: a repeatable, different swing. And when you take the wind

264
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: up out of the rotation because it's simpler to pitch

265
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 4: out of the stretch, you're losing something of which is

266
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: a luxury they let you pitch out of the wind up.

267
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: I don't understand why guys can't learn how to pitch

268
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: out of the wind up and use that as a

269
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: as a weapon instead of just being in the stretch

270
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 4: and seeing it like that.

271
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: John Smoltz, who guarantees that he will win this tournament.

272
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: I did. I we don't have a time stamp on that,

273
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: but I guaranteed I will be the oldest winner to

274
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: ever win this tournament.

275
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: You were, you're very cocky yesterday.

276
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 4: I was. I was.

277
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: I didn't even say a lo to you, and you said,

278
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: if this putter's work and I'm winning this thing right?

279
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Absolutely, Yeah, I'm in I'm in a good place,

280
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: but I've been in a good place before, and this

281
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: tournament does some funky things to you. But I will

282
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 4: be the oldest player to ever win this tournament. Let's

283
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: get it done sooner than later. Thank you, John, My pleasure.

300
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 2: old friends of the show. We go back about ten

301
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: years ago I think we were. We were at the

302
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,440

303
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: come by and watch our show just to see how

304
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: to do this and now look at them, pardon my take.

305
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: Is one of the biggest podcasts sports podcasts that we

306
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: have and Barstools Sports. I started out by asking the

307
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: guys how they met online.

308
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, hinge very much, Rayah. Actually no, we.

309
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: It was we would get accused of stealing each other's

310
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: jokes and we followed each other and like, oh, he

311
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 5: already said that. He already said that, And then I

312
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: DM PFT. I was like, hey, like, I think you're

313
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 5: very funny. You want to go on a date, you

00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: want to get you want to make this official?

315
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 7: It was a bro date.

316
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

317
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 9: I remember we went out for beers and Chicago and

318
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 9: then I was pulling through Chicago about a year later

319
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 9: and Big Kat was like, come stop by the birds Nest,

320
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 9: which is the.

321
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: Best win place in Chicago.

322
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, So we stopped by there and had some beers

323
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 9: and he kind of threw it out there. He's like,

324
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 9: we might be getting some money at barsol sports to

325
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 9: investment podcasts, like to do a podcast.

326
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, I'm in Yeah, that was the thing.

327
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 8: It was.

328
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 5: I always thought PFT would be perfect at barstool and

329
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 5: working together.

330
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 7: I always wanted to work with him.

331
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: But we're at a point in Barstool where it was

332
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 5: eight people and we were kind of not living paycheck

333
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 5: to paycheck, but we were still young, very small, and

334
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: then we got bought by a guy named Peter Turnan,

335
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: the Churning Company, and part of them buying us was

336
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: to give us some cash move to New York, hire

337
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: some people I think PFT was maybe the second or

338
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 5: third hire when that happened. Yeah, and then it was

339
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 5: just kind of all off from there.

340
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: What was the moment? Was there an interview or a

341
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: moment where you go things just changed.

342
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 7: Maybe Joe Buck.

343
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: Joe Buck.

344
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 9: The first time we had him on, Joe Buck was big,

345
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 9: He had no idea who the hell we were, and

346
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 9: we were very weird in that interview, but he seemed

347
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 9: to like us, and uh, then you know, things would,

348
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 9: people would aggregate you after the interviews. So we saw, like,

349
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 9: you know, all the headlines come out about Joe Buck,

350
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 9: Joe Buck, and I think Joe saw a little bit

351
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 9: of a shift online at that point where everybody hated

352
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 9: Joe Buck before because no matter what team you root for,

353
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 9: at some point, Joe.

354
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 7: Has said something bad about your team. So you think

355
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 7: that you.

356
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 9: Right, yes, exactly, Yeah, so he's actually he's commented accurately

357
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 9: about the state of your team at some point, and

358
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 9: then you take that as a as a personal site,

359
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 9: which I still do sometimes. Joe definitely, I think he

360
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 9: still does hate the Commanders, but uh, he saw he

361
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 9: started to see a little bit of a shift, like

362
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 9: he got more love online people are like, I used

363
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 9: to hate Joe Buck, but now I think he might

364
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 9: be likable.

365
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

366
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: Our best compliment that we get is when we have

367
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 5: a guest on and they're like, I hated that guy,

368
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: but you guys made him fun, which is kind of

369
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: a backhanded compliment to the person. Uh, but yeah, it's that.

370
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 5: And I think when ESPN suit us right out of

371
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 5: the gate, because we did we did kind of take

372
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 5: their logo and everything, and but they they fell for it,

373
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 5: and they gave us a headline.

374
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: But you wanted that. You knew what was going to happen.

375
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 5: We didn't think they'd sue us, but we we obviously

376
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 5: knew what we were doing in terms of the name

377
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: and making poking fun at sports media. And then yeah,

378
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 5: them them sending us to cease and desist in us

379
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: making like I think they expected us to play by

380
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 5: the rules of you get a cease and desist and

381
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 5: then you know, you stop the stuff, you don't talk

382
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 5: about it, whereas we just instantly made it. I think

383
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: it was an emergency podcast, and we had Dave his

384
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 5: dad as a lawyer. We hired him as our lawyer,

385
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 5: and we made a whole mockery of it. And it

386
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 5: just kind of off from there.

387
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 9: I wrote a seasoned desist letter to ESPN demanding that

388
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 9: they cease and desist sending us seas and desist.

389
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: Right.

390
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 9: I never thought about that, but they fell for they

391
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 9: got all the high priced lawyers of the world and

392
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 9: they didn't have the brain of the seventh grader like

393
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 9: I did.

394
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 7: So it was like, okay, all right, balls in your court,

395
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 7: chess move We're.

396
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: You're talking to a big cat. Pft, barstool sports, pardon

397
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: my take the barstool? Van toa Did I bring that

398
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: to a close?

399
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you killed you if we had been able to

400
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 5: let you on fire. I think that show exists today.

401
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, because Van Pelt was the first guy.

402
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 9: Everyone loved it. The bosses at ESPN loved it. And

403
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 9: then Dan Thattrick comes on. That's something about these guys.

404
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 7: I don't really care.

405
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: Are you you got canceled?

406
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: Yes?

407
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: Yes?

408
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 7: Oh my god?

409
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

410
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 9: Have you ever you know, have you ever had a

411
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 9: big cancelation of plans? I had one last week where

412
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 9: I canceled a vacation, which sounds like it might be bad,

413
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 9: but the second I canceled it, I felt.

414
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 7: Great, I'm going to just stay at home. Yeah, enjoy

415
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 7: my time.

416
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 9: But when you get a TV show canceled, it's like

417
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 9: that times one hundred. It's like you don't have to

418
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 9: do all that work anymore.

419
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, it would have It would have been bad. It

420
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 7: wouldn't have been sustainable. It was.

421
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 5: It was a really good lesson in that if you

422
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 5: know a lot of people will be like, oh yeah,

423
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 5: if you get to know, keep keep asking, keep asking.

424
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 5: We the process of getting the show on ESPN was

425
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 5: very like it was like nine months, a ton of lawyers,

426
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 5: a ton of back and forth where they didn't really

427
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 5: they weren't bought in, but there was a couple of

428
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: people who had our back and wanted us to try it.

429
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: But we should have realized at that moment, like they're

430
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 5: not going to defend us when when when things.

431
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: Go awry, I'm shocked that they got into business. That's

432
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: where somebody goes, man, I hear these guys are popular,

433
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: let's get in business, but not realizing what made you.

434
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 7: Popular, right, And the funny thing is now ESPN.

435
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: I mean Pat McFee is a friend of ours who's

436
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: like so entertaining and so talented. I think ESPN's changed

437
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 5: where that was if it were today, they probably had

438
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 5: a lot more of an appetite.

439
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, So you guys have a big announcement. Yes,

440
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: the source is close to me. Tell me, by the way,

441
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: I worried about the show when your third guest ever

442
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: was PAULI.

443
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 10: Yes, that's true, that's true, that big third episode.

444
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 7: Do you remember what we talked about a man?

445
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 10: I remember getting a call during dinner and big cack us,

446
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 10: what are you doing right now?

447
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:55,560

Speaker 3: Yeah.

450
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 5: We Some of the early inner reviews were tough, where

451
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 5: it was just we were just digging for all of

452
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 5: our friends.

453
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 7: I think that was exhausting all of our friends.

454
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 5: I think it went Chris Long, bro MONTI Jones, Chris Long,

455
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 5: and then Paul and I was like, all right, we

456
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 5: don't have any more friends.

457
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 9: I think we went we went Martin Scrilly, the farmer

458
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 9: broke and then we're like, who else?

Speaker 7: been asked to write a thank you.

471
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: It's a lot of work.

472
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 5: By the way, just we just talked about how great

473
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: it is to cancel plans. So there's a very good

474
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 5: chance we don't write this book. But we've been asked

475
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: to write a book a bunch of times. We've gotten

476
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 5: to the meeting point talking about it, and then finally

477
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 5: this year we're like, you know what, we're we're about

478
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 5: to hit ten years. You know, we've been very successful,

479
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 5: very blessed. I think it's it's a cool story that

480
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 5: we've you know, a lot of partnerships don't stay that long.

481
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 5: So we're going to write a ten year kind of

482
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 5: the history of pardon my take, and a lot of

483
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: stupid stuff in there as well.

484
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 7: We actually had a meeting.

485
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 5: We we hired a ghostwriter, and our first question to

486
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 5: the ghostwriter was like, hey, you got to be ready, Like,

487
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 5: we're going to do a chapter where we interview you,

488
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 5: which I.

489
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 9: Don't think you're supposed to do with ghostwriters. We're also

490
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 9: going to have the ghostwriter write that chapter. We have

491
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 9: to interview him, and then he has to interview us

492
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 9: and ask us how the interview went, and then we'll explain.

493
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: To this sounds like a cease and desists sending to

494
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: tell you about the season o.

495
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean we're if there's anything you know

496
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 9: about me, And because we're voracious readers, we can't.

497
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 7: We can't the title from the guys who don't read.

498
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 7: I can't put those things down, those books.

499
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, there will be an audiobook for those of you

500
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 9: who like to listen to it.

501
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: By the way, the reason why we're announcing it here

502
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 5: on your show is that you you have to write

503
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: a chapter for us.

504
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 7: We're going to farm out most of this book.

505
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: Okay, what constitutes a chapter.

506
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 7: It could be as many words as you want. We

507
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 7: don't care. We're gonna double space the whole thing. Yeah, indense.

508
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: Can I just put a bunch of pictures of myself?

509
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 7: Absolutely, we're big readers.

510
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 5: So huge, huge font We're just trying to get to

511
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 5: that like two fifty page number.

512
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 7: So that's what we get there.

513
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 5: I don't know what it's gonna end up being, but

514
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 5: it is gonna be real like the Ghostwriter.

515
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 7: So we're gonna write a lot of the book the

516
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 7: ghost Writers.

517
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 5: How we're gonna do it is it's gonna be year

518
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 5: by year, So the year history is going to be

519
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 5: us being interviewed by the Ghostwriter. And then in between

520
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 5: we'll have some of our friends. We'll write some chapters,

521
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 5: some stupid stuff. It's gonna be barely readable. There will

522
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: be tons of pictures.

523
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 9: We were actually talking about putting like a word search

524
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 9: in there, like basically make the entire book out of

525
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 9: the back of cereal boxes. That's kind of what we're

526
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 9: going for. Yeah, but we're gonna have a chapter. I

527
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 9: think Hank's going to write a chapter for.

528
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 7: Us, but he can't. You can't use autocorrect. Yeah, we're

529
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 7: not gonna edit. It's just gonna it's just gonna.

530
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Be whatever, like serial killer chapter and then just have

531
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: the you know, the font being all of what a

532
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: serial coloria?

533
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, are cut out of magazine.

534
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: Yea.

535
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 7: I mean, my my favorite author probably Brett Farv. A

536
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 7: lot of pictures, a lot of pictures, mostly text.

537
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: Keep it short, yeah, don't say Brett and pictures.

538
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't say that.

539
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, but no, we're we're excited to do it. I

540
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 9: think it's gonna be a fun, new, fun, new thing.

541
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: And then they'll make a movie out of it.

542
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably not, but yeah sure the uh it's gonna

543
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 5: be fun though, because we're gonna go down memory lane,

544
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 5: like there's a lot of stories that we probably haven't told,

545
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 5: you know, getting more into depth about the whole ESPN,

546
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 5: barstool van talk, how close we were to possibly leaving and

547
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 5: all that stuff.

548
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 7: So I think it's gonna be interesting, and it's something.

549
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 5: That we didn't want to write a book just to

550
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 5: be like, hey, here's a book, but ten years does

551
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 5: feel somewhat monumental in this business.

552
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 9: And we've got Hank going through the archives right now

553
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 9: of all the old pictures. He's got an extensive blackmail

554
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 9: file of pictures like never before seen.

555
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 7: The ones that you've seen Hank put out. They can

556
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 7: be very bad pictures of us, but he's got tons

557
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 7: of them news of me, Yeah, real bad.

558
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 3: So he does.

559
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 5: And we had George Brett and we we did a

560
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 5: terrible I think if you guys remember we had Mark

561
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 5: Schlereth on the first time and we pet our pants,

562
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: which is very good that was a big moment.

563
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 7: Big Cat peat his pants. I tried, but I was.

564
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

565
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: So then we had.

566
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 5: George brett On and we're like, oh, what's he famous for?

567
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 5: Oh uh, pooping his pants? So we got diapers and

568
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: we put chili down. Our pants didn't really land the

569
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 5: same way, but anyway, we had the whole bathroom wired

570
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 5: with go pros and after we finished, I went to

571
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 5: clean up and stripped nude, not realizing the go pro

572
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 5: was on the entire time, and Hank afterwards was like,

573
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 5: I have all this footage, all right, Well, yeah, all this.

574
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 9: Footage, so yeah, maybe we'll put yeah, Big Cat's nudes.

575
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 9: That'll be a big selling point. But yeah, a lot

576
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 9: of There will be a of pictures. But I think

577
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 9: we're going to take parts of it seriously too, where

578
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 9: people lefter some some of the story of behind the scenes,

579
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 9: some stories they haven't heard before.

580
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be a fun challenge.

581
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: I think you could do the Fabio pose on the

582
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: cover with your hair flowing like that, holding Big Cat

583
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 2: in your arms.

584
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 7: Fabio when he got hit by the.

Speaker 7: Okay.

613
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 9: If we ever, if there's every year where we have

614
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 9: like the Cubs win the World Series, the Commanders win

615
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl, the Caps win the Stanley Cup, and

616
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 9: the Bulls win the NBA Championship. I think I think people, well,

617
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 9: there's I was gonna say, we'll re tired at that point.

618
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 7: We're saying that's never ever, ever going to happen.

619
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 9: But yeah, there's a little bit of truth of that

620
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 9: where people love to hear us lose, and being from

621
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 9: DC and Chicago, Uh, there's a lot of lose, a

622
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 9: lot of fodder out there yet.

623
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 7: But I don't really want to.

624
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 5: I think we could do this for as long as

625
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 5: people listen, you know. I think there will be a

626
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 5: point where we become the old men, which will suck

627
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: in its own right. But if people are listening, we

628
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 5: have the best job in the world. Why would you

629
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 5: stop doing that?

630
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: Got emotional there, I got sentimental. Yeah, BFT, big cat.

631
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: Congratulations on the book and thanks for joining us.

632
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

633
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

635
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: Joe Buck We spoke to him, of course, the voice

636
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: for ESPN and ABC and when he was at Fox

637
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: he called everything he called golf, football, and baseball, And

638
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: I ask him what is the difference between calling golf,

639
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: football and baseball.

640
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 11: Golf was so different than I thought going in. And

641
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 11: you can prepare yourself all you want, but we all

642
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 11: fall asleep to it on the couch when we're watching it,

643
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 11: when you're sitting in that chair. It's why have so

644
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 11: much respect for Jim, for Mike, for and for all

645
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 11: the guys that do it regularly, because it happened so fast,

646
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 11: because you're not watching any of it with your own

647
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 11: eyes like live. It's all on monitor, so you're getting

648
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 11: information in your ear, like, Okay, we're going to speak

649
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 11: on four. It's a second shot. He's made two birdies

650
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 11: in a row, and so you just you do like

651
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 11: broadcast news. Let's go to speak on four. It's a

652
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 11: second shot. He's made two birdies in a row. And

653
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 11: you know, it's a little unnerving to be relying on

654
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 11: other people's information. I rather make my own mistakes or

655
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 11: do my own thoughts instead of just parroting what I'm

656
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 11: hearing in my ear. So long winded way of saying,

657
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 11: baseball football way easier, way slower than you would think

658
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 11: compared to golf.

659
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: But Also, how many times have you had to fake

660
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: that you didn't know what was going to happen to

661
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: the golfer who was standing over a twenty foot or

662
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: to take the sole possession.

663
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 12: Well that's the thing.

664
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 11: I mean, you know all the websites which you find

665
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 11: out when you do golf, how closed the community, And

666
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 11: like when Fox showed up and then I'm calling it

667
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 11: and it's not Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller. It's like,

668
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 11: oh my god, aliens have landed on my TV and

669
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 11: I cannot believe they're trying to do golf. Their camera

670
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 11: people suck. They can't find the golf ball. We were

671
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 11: Chambers Bay, it was Glary. They're the same camera people

672
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 11: that did it for NBC. So it wasn't that now

673
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 11: the guy in the chair wasn't that good.

674
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 12: That's me.

675
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 11: But you have to What you realize is if you're

676
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 11: gonna have a TV event and try and build any

677
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 11: drama whatsoever, you can't just do live shot, live shot,

678
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 11: live shot, live shot. You have to hold stuff to

679
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 11: make it, build a narrative as to where the thing

680
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 11: is going. And it takes a while to get into

681
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 11: that too. There's a you know, you I can see

682
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 11: on my laptop that a guy just made birdie. But

683
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 11: it's not on the scoreboard I'm looking at. And if

684
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 11: it's not on the scoreboard, I'm looking at he didn't

685
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 11: make birdie, yet we got to act like he's about

686
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 11: to make birdie. So it's a lot of convoluted stuff

687
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 11: that's handled better by smarter people.

688
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: I talked to John Smoltz and he said that he's

689
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: not on social media, that he'll maybe hear from his

690
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: kids about liar.

691
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 12: He's got burner accounts.

692
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 11: He knows what's going on on social media.

693
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: But do you need social media? Like, like, is it

694
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: part of your life?

695
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 5: No?

696
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 11: I go on there periodically if I want to find

697
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 11: out how awful I am. If I'm feeling good about myself,

698
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 11: I go on social media. And then that just brings

699
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 11: me back to when did this start? When did this

700
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 11: start where you just for me or for you? Well,

701
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 11: I think, you know, I'm kind of uniquely positioned by

702
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 11: being the World Series guy and the postseason baseball guy

703
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 11: from the advents of social media to now. Now I

704
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 11: haven't done it in four years, so I'm out. But

705
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 11: I think when you do the World Series and every

706
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 11: game is done by local TV announcers. I mean, you

707
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 11: you can watch it. You could put Cardinals in Cubs series.

708
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 11: You put boog Shambi's call of a Cubs home run

709
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 11: and then boog Shambi's call of a Cardinal home run,

710
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 11: and it's night and day. It's yay us boo them.

711
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 11: That's the way you're supposed to do it. He does

712
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 11: it for the Cubs, and I think when you show

713
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 11: up and now you're getting excited for both teams, the

714
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 11: fan bases are like, why is this guy excited that

715
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 11: the Red Sox guy just hit a home run? He sucks,

716
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 11: he hates my team, And so add social media into

717
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 11: it and it just kind of becomes a thing. I

718
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 11: go to therapists for it. I suck my thumb again

719
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 11: because of it. But yeah, I mean, you just have

720
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 11: to realize. And I told Joe Davis when he took

721
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 11: over for me, and he and I have had long

722
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 11: talks about it. You just have to be willing to

723
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 11: put up with that, knowing that that's just part of

724
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 11: the job.

725
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking Joe buck I don't I'm not on it,

726
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: but I always say to the Dan Antley said, if

727
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: you guys read something that keeps me honest. Great, Yeah,

728
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: but I don't need to hear ten people say you're

729
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: great and the eleventh person to say, why don't you retire?

730
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 12: That's the one you remember.

731
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, you just scroll right through the nice ones and

732
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 11: you go right to the mean person.

733
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Well, I read fan mail from the bottom up because

734
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: if it says sincerely, chances are it probably started nice.

735
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: But if it said hate you or fu and okay,

736
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: no need to go up top and read it.

737
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: No.

738
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 11: And I'm pretty much to the point where I won't

739
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 11: open it if there's no return address on it, because

740
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 11: most of the time they want something sent back.

741
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, but I mean.

742
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 11: I'm not sitting here complaining about it.

743
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 12: I really am not.

744
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 11: I've kind of put that in its own box and

745
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 11: I kind of laugh at it a little bit. And

746
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 11: to be honest with you, when you leave it, you know,

747
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 11: you have to retire or die for people to say

748
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 11: you're any good. And so I haven't died yet, but

749
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 11: I've retired from baseball. And then I did one Yankee

750
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 11: game at the beginning of the year and it's like

751
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 11: becomes viral where, oh Joe Buck's doing baseball again, Thank god?

752
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 11: Bo was it were how are you people for twenty

753
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 11: four years. So it's it's just it is what it is,

754
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 11: and you have to just kind of take it.

755
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: When did we get to the point where we had

756
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: to fill all of the time with voices? When you

757
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: do play by play and then you have a color

758
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: analyst and then maybe another color analyst, and if you

759
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: go back and listen to you know, yesteryear, there was

760
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: breathing and it was almost treating you as if, Hey,

761
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you and we don't need to be.

762
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: You know, you and your wife can sometimes sit and

763
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: not talk a lot, but at.

764
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 11: Dinner on the couch, yeah, we've got seven year old twins.

765
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: But everybody it just feels like it's wall to wall.

766
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree, and I think it should have been.

767
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 11: It should be really the reverse because and I say

768
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 11: this to broadcast students all the time, like, don't be

769
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 11: afraid to not talk. I think that little voice in

770
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 11: your head is telling you if I don't say something here,

771
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 11: the audience thinks I don't know what to say. And

772
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 11: it's that insecurity, and I think insecurity breeds over talking.

773
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 11: I could make the case that with the advancements that

774
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 11: have been made in audio. There really is no more

775
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 11: dead air. Dead air doesn't exist anymore. If I don't talk,

776
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 11: you're gonna hear you know whoever Aaron Rodgers calling signals

777
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 11: out at the line of scrimmage, or just good natural sound,

778
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 11: or just the sound of a crowd enjoying a game.

779
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 11: And that's really the beauty of baseball, kind of that

780
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 11: hum that happens underneath. And I always tried to do

781
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 11: the game like that, you know, I tried to pick

782
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 11: my spots. I realize I'm not doing radio. I don't

783
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 11: need to talk. I don't need to go. Hey, here's

784
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 11: a two one pitch. So and so rares back lets

785
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 11: it fly, swinging a ground ball to short. Jeter goes

786
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 11: in the hole, backhanded, stop, long throat bounces at the

787
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 11: first dugout by the first baseman, two out.

788
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 12: I can just go Jeter to his right, two out.

789
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 11: That's that's how I always tried to do a games,

790
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 11: because that's how I would want to listen to it.

791
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: But my favorite announcer of all time is somebody that

792
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: most people don't know. It's Ray Scott because.

793
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 12: My dad used to work with him.

794
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 2: But he was economical, Yeah, and it was it'd be

795
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: Packers against the Bears. He would say star Dollar first down. Yeah,

796
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: And I love the cadence to it because it just

797
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: felt like he respected me as a football fan.

798
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, but you got to realize that we're old.

799
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 11: I'm the same way, and you know that's not the

800
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 11: way of twenty twenty five. And that doesn't make it right,

801
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 11: wrong or indifferent. But I when when Pat summer All

802
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 11: and John Matten left and now all of a sudden,

803
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 11: it's me, Troy and Chris Allensworth, I took the bait

804
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 11: of trying to be Pat Summerle and I go back

805
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 11: and I listened to myself in the early two thousands

806
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 11: and I'm like, yuck, man, I hate that because I'm

807
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 11: doing the Montana Rice touchdown.

808
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,959
Speaker 12: And then Madden. It was beautiful because Madden.

809
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 11: Was bouncing off the walls, and then Pat was the

810
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 11: straight man and just hit the notes and just let

811
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 11: you enjoy it for what it was. But I took

812
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 11: that bait. I never really tried to be my dad.

813
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 11: I did take a lot of cues from him, and

814
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 11: a lot of the pacing was the same, but I

815
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 11: fell into the trap of trying to be Pat, and

816
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 11: I realized looking back at it, there's only one path.

817
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: You crushed me when your father was dying and you

818
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 2: used to go to the hospital, I believe and read

819
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: to your father. Yeah, what were you reading to your

820
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: dad when he was dying?

821
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 11: Uh, you know, basically the sports page. You know, I

822
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 11: wasn't reading poetry. He was at time in his life

823
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 11: before he got sick, right before he got sick, or

824
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 11: he was writing a lot of it. And one of

825
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 11: the results of that was the poem that he read

826
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 11: at Bush Stadium after nine to eleven. So he was

827
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 11: always in this mode. At the end of his life.

828
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 11: He was a depressionary kid. He was a World War

829
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 11: Two vet who got shot in Germany. He was in

830
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 11: Paris when the war ended and saw du Gaul speak.

831
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 11: I mean, he lived a life and at the end

832
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 11: of his life, I think he knew the end was coming.

833
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 11: He was very retrospective. He was writing a lot of poetry,

834
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 11: he was watching a lot of war documentaries, and he

835
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 11: was just kind of it wasn't the sports jack Buck anymore.

836
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 11: It was so I would read sport, the sports page.

837
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 11: I would read, you know, a little excerpts out of

838
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 11: a book that he was reading before he went into

839
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 11: the hospital, but he was he was at the point

840
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 11: where he was incapacitated. He had a track, so he

841
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 11: couldn't really talk, and it was it was Shakespearean. It

842
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 11: was this guy with his great voice, great mind, his

843
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 11: mind was there to the end, but he couldn't speak,

844
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 11: and he had to mouth everything to me. And so

845
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 11: going there every day, I would try to find off

846
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 11: times because I have seven brothers and sisters, one full

847
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 11: six half, and everybody was coming in different shifts. But

848
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 11: I tried to find all the off times because I

849
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 11: just wanted it to be the two of us. And

850
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 11: you know, I've told the story a million times, and

851
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 11: I'm not going to drone on about you know, saying

852
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 11: my goodbyes to him the night before he died, when

853
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 11: I knew they were going to pull all the equipment

854
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 11: and all the respirator and everything out of him. But

855
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 11: I did a cardinal game the night that night, and

856
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 11: I was driving by the hospital, and you know, he

857
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 11: hadn't passed away yet, and my family had all left,

858
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 11: and I went and went up to see him and

859
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 11: said a couple of things in his ear and kissed

860
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 11: him goodbye, and he had passed away before I got

861
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 11: to the car and so I and they had pulled

862
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 11: the TV down by his head when when I was

863
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 11: doing it, it was a Cardinal's Angels game and Darrel

864
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 11: Kyle was going to die that same week, Mike Soshia

865
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 11: was amazing pushing a game back.

866
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 12: It was just it was a crazy time.

867
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 11: But he was listening to me doing the game, and

868
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 11: I think he was waiting for me to come say goodbye.

869
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 11: At least my narcissistic life thinks that. And maybe if

870
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 11: I'd never gone, he'd still be alive today three years later.

871
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 4: But I did.

872
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 12: I went.

873
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: Med, Sure, why would you go there? Yeah, you killed

874
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: your father?

875
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 12: Unbelievable.

876
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: Wow, that got sentimental and dark and unhurt.

877
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 11: But he would love that. That was his sense of

878
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 11: humor he had. The best thing I had with my

879
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 11: dad was that I could make him laugh, even when

880
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 11: I was a little kid. So he could take me

881
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 11: on the road and he was a tough audience, but

882
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 11: I got through to him, and some of it was.

883
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 12: Really dark, but he wanted me around.

884
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 11: And that's what's set up the rest of my life,

885
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 11: by just being there with him on the road, seeing

886
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 11: the life just from the eyes of a broadcaster. And

887
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 11: getting a master's class in it. Really every night.

888
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 2: Good to see you, Thanks for shure, Thank you, thanks

889
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: so much, Joe Buck.

890
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

891
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

892
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.

893
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: He's a six time pro bowler, three time All Pro.

894
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 2: Now with the La Rams, we welcome in DeVante Adams,

895
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: who joined us on the program. Saw him out there.

896
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: We were trying to trying to impress him. He was

897
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: trying to pick out who was who gave the aura

898
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: of being a quarterback, and I think DeVante realized that

899
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: nobody is going to be ready. At least sounding wise,

900
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 2: Seaton sounded like Aaron Rodgers with his or No, Paulie,

901
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: did you gave the a green nineteen?

902
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

903
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 10: As a lifelong Bears fan, I can't tell you how

904
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 10: many team many times I've watched and saw Aaron Rodgers

905
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 10: draws off side with the Green team.

906
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 3: That your owner definitely did that quite a bit, for sure.

907
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: But even you're not in Green Bay anymore. But is

908
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: there still animosity hatred with the Chicago Bears? Does that

909
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: follow you the rest of your life?

910
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: Oh?

911
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 8: No, Honestly, I've met so many fans. I feel like

912
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 8: I meet more fans in the NFC North now because

913
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 8: they actually come forth and speak to me, so I

914
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 8: let them out. Yeah, school, we can actually be friends now,

915
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 8: you know, I don't mind it. We still I'm in

916
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 8: the NFC now, but I'm not in the NFC North,

917
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 8: so you know, I don't hate the Bears anymore. That

918
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 8: was just the thing that lasts while I'm there.

919
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So they'll talk to you now because you're not

920
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: in the division. Yeah, if you were still with the Packers,

921
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: Bears fans wouldn't be talking.

922
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 8: No, they don't introduce themselves quite as much. I think

923
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 8: they tend to hold back when I was with the Packers.

924
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite story that you tell of

925
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 2: your time with the Packers.

926
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 8: That's a tough one. I was there for eight years,

927
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 8: so quite a bit of stories.

928
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 2: You got a Rogers story that you're gonna tell your grandkids?

929
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

930
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if I can say that.

931
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 8: Tell tell one of them the good ones on the

932
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 8: Dan Patrick Show. I might get in some trouble.

933
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 2: But but you can you can have the language maybe, Yeah,

934
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: you know, if you have to change the language a

935
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: little bit.

936
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 8: Well, my I guess one of a pretty good story

937
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 8: I have is one of the first stories. So my

938
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 8: basically first game plan was the Detroit Lions game. I

939
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 8: played like eight players in the in the season opener

940
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 8: against the Seahawks we opened up the season, and you know,

941
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 8: I kind of got my feet wet in that game.

942
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 8: And then the Detroit game, I got a few more

943
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 8: meaningful snaps. So I get out there and one of

944
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 8: my first snaps, I'm on the right side and I'm

945
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 8: by myself, and we had a signal that was this,

946
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 8: and we had a signal that was.

947
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: This, oh close, very close.

948
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 8: So and especially when it's full speed, mid cadence, you know,

949
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 8: Aaron time, So I see that, and basically the timing

950
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 8: that that you got now when you're dealing with a

951
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 8: person like Aaron, and you come to learn the details

952
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 8: are very very important, right, So this signal is for

953
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 8: when you're by yourself, So you wouldn't get this signal

954
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 8: typically if you're over there with another tight end or

955
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 8: another you know, a slot receiver with you, and I

956
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 8: was outside. I wasn't playing in the slot as much

957
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 8: at that point. So if you get this. You're typically

958
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 8: for when you're alone. You get this. That's a two

959
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 8: man concept, right, I'm just a rookie coming in. It's

960
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 8: my second game plan. I'm not really ready to, you know,

961
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 8: process all that, especially not mid Caden twitch. I don't

962
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 8: even know if we ever even did that again after that.

963
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 8: I think it might have been a test and I

964
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 8: failed it. But I'm over there in the boundary and

965
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 8: green nineteen and he does that, so boom almost pooped

966
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 8: myself for sure. And then I say, okay, well I'm

967
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 8: gonna run a slant. I think this is the slant.

968
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 8: So I come off the ball and I run full speed. Now,

969
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 8: the problem with that was that the other route is

970
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 8: a one step like stop right where you are, so

971
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 8: you're not moving anywhere, and the ball's coming out immediately.

972
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 8: So as soon as I drive off the ball, take

973
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 8: that that and stick for the slant. The boss flying

974
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 8: to the where I basically was standing or not before

975
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 8: I even moved, and then I looking at him. I

976
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 8: looked like flip my eyes to him, and then I

977
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 8: see the boss, So I flipped it and I'm like

978
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 8: looking back and forth and I'm like and he's flying

979
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 8: at me. Just just this. When you see that finger

980
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 8: come out and he starts skipping, you know, you.

981
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: Know it's problems.

982
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 8: So so the I see him skipping over toward me,

983
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 8: and I've seen it in practice, but I wasn't. It's

984
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 8: less embarrassing in practice because you run all your teammates

985
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 8: and we you know, we were all getting it. He

986
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 8: and he softened up over time, so he doesn't really

987
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 8: do that anymore. But that was twelve years ago. He

988
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 8: was he was a little bit more fiery.

989
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: So but what's that like going back to the huddle.

990
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 8: It's it's not Well, first of all, I had to

991
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 8: deal with it before I even got to the huddle,

992
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 8: because I mean, he's literally approaching me as this is happening.

993
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 8: So I'm going to him and I'm and I say,

994
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 8: I thought I thought you gave you know whatever, And

995
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 8: then in the moment, I think that's sometimes the worst

996
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 8: thing to do, whether it's to your parents, to your

997
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 8: your your you know, your uncle, your veteran quarterback, it's

998
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 8: the same something that isn't like a legitimate response to them. Ye,

999
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 8: and I thought it was a legit response because this

1000
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 8: signal and this signal or damn close. So I'm like,

1001
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 8: I thought you meant the other one. And then he

1002
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 8: taught me what details are about, and he says, breaks

1003
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 8: that whole thing. I told you down about the two

1004
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 8: man versus one man concept, and you got to be

1005
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 8: able to take care of that in your head, like

1006
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 8: you know, if you I'm not going to give you

1007
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 8: a two man concept to a one man's side, So

1008
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 8: you have to understand. You got to do the math

1009
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 8: quickly and make that work. So right then I said, okay,

1010
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 8: that next week, I just dove into the details is different,

1011
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 8: And I mean the man changed my life because he

1012
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 8: got me, He got me dialed into the you know,

1013
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 8: knowing just how important small things are in this game.

1014
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: You were in Vegas and uh it felt like you

1015
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: can blend in in Vegas. That didn't you know? You

1016
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: went to a party I think, and you had people

1017
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: didn't know what you did for a living. Yeah that

1018
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: was that was my my daughter's party. Yeah okay, yeah,

1019
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: oh so it's your daughter's party.

1020
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 3: It was her party.

1021
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 8: We invited the parents of her school and her classmates too,

1022
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 8: And I wasn't at the school as much at that point,

1023
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 8: so they had no idea. They see days at school

1024
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 8: They had no idea that I was her father. So

1025
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 8: they show up at the house and it's a little

1026
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 8: weird for him.

1027
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: So when do they realize what you do for a living?

1028
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 8: Well, they all knew what I did for a living,

1029
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 8: they just didn't know that I was the one whose

1030
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 8: house they were showing up to. So they showed up

1031
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 8: at DeVante Adam's house thinking they were just going to

1032
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 8: their kids friends' birthday party, and I was there greeting them, saying, hello,

1033
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 8: welcome to my house.

1034
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: Did you have your jersey on?

1035
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 3: I didn't. I was wearing my helmet though.

1036
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: But in Green Bay you can't walk around you're not

1037
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:39,959
Speaker 2: anonymous in Green Bay.

1038
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's to be honest, it's it's not

1039
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 8: as comfortable as i'd like just period. But in Green

1040
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 8: Bay there's there's a lot more people with fair skin there,

1041
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 8: So I think I think just that alone kind of

1042
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 8: draws a little attention, not in a bad way, but like,

1043
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 8: you know, it's like you're here, so you know, and

1044
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 8: I look a little athletic.

1045
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 3: So even if they don't know, sometimes they kind of know.

1046
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you must pay for the package, correct, Yeah, Yeah,

1047
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: don't know what position, but you like, I'll.

1048
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: Tell you this.

1049
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 8: I have my manager who is by no means appearing

1050
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 8: to be a football player.

1051
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 3: He's he is of.

1052
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 8: The darker complexion, I will say that. But we go

1053
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 8: to a Buffalo Wia Wings. It's like my second year

1054
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 8: and I'm sitting there with my hood on and they

1055
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 8: got my strings pulled and I'm waiting for the order

1056
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 8: and somebody walks by him. He's like five to seven,

1057
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 8: not in amazing shape, and it doesn't again, doesn't look

1058
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 8: like he plays football. And they walk by him, tap

1059
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 8: on the shoulder and go good luck Sunday.

1060
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 3: And that let me know.

1061
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 8: I was like, yeah, I think I don't think I'll

1062
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 8: be outside too much out here.

1063
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 2: But Los Angeles you can blend in.

1064
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 8: You can blend in a lot better there, that's for sure.

1065
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 8: And it's built a little bit more for that.

1066
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 2: But have you met celebrities?

1067
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, well I've met celebrities.

1068
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 8: I mean, I played in New York, I got I

1069
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 8: played in you know, in uh in Vegas. So I've

1070
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 8: had the opportunity to come across a lot of people.

1071
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 3: But LA is full of him.

1072
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: Okay, but give me the Oh my god, that's such

1073
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 2: and such.

1074
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 8: Since being on the Rams or just period period. I

1075
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 8: mean your your jay Z's your you know, obviously Bron

1076
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 8: is a big one, and me being in LA. He

1077
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 8: actually I saw him at Fanatics vests in New York

1078
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 8: just recently, and he's coming through and anywhere Lebron goes.

1079
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 8: I don't know if you've ever been around Lebron. They

1080
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 8: basically there's music playing, they cut the music off. They

1081
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 8: made it's like the biggest deal in the world. So

1082
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 8: when he walks through, everybody's just like staring at him.

1083
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 8: And he came through and he was just kind of

1084
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 8: walking with security and then he like gave like fully

1085
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 8: embraced me as like the only person in like the building,

1086
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 8: and everybody was looking at me like what that. And

1087
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 8: I wasn't expecting. I was just sitting there with my

1088
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 8: water just kind of zipping and I saw him. I

1089
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 8: was like, what's up? And he just leaned over fully

1090
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 8: embraced me, started talking about the LA thing and everything.

1091
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 3: So, you know, I'm just a young, humble dude.

1092
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 8: For Me's Paul Alto, California, And obviously I know who

1093
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 8: I am to people, but you lose sight of that

1094
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 8: when you are, you know, humble and just staying focus

1095
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 8: on continuing.

1096
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 3: To get better.

1097
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 8: And when you got a guy like Lebron that'll come

1098
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 8: in and only embrace you, you know, immediately out of

1099
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 8: in a building, that obviously means a lot.

1100
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 2: What kind of football player do you think Lebron would

1101
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 2: have made?

1102
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 8: He would have He would have been one of the

1103
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 8: best receivers tight ends all time, no question. I don't

1104
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 8: know if you've ever seen him play football.

1105
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 2: I saw him play a high school.

1106
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can.

1107
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 8: He can fly too, That's the thing he's He's one

1108
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 8: of the fastest NBA players probably all time. I've never

1109
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 8: seen somebody cover space on a on a basketball court.

1110
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 8: Maybe John Wall Derreck Rose something like that.

1111
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 3: But but he's up there with all of them.

1112
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: But you get guys whenever I bring up basketball players

1113
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: playing football and they go, yeah, once they get hit

1114
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 2: one time and then we'll see.

1115
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 8: Well they Bron doesn't help his case by the way

1116
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 8: he asks him some times. But I do I do

1117
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 8: think it's it's a little bit strategy in there, so

1118
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 8: I don't I don't think he's actually like banged up

1119
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 8: every time. Now, if you're doing that in football, we're

1120
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 8: gonna have some issues and that might slow the game

1121
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 8: up a little bit.

1122
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: Because, Uh, but you guys, do you flop in football? Yeah,

1123
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 2: trying to get a call.

1124
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 8: The football flop is like when you're trying to like

1125
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 8: get under a dude's skin and you and he pushes

1126
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 8: you and you do that to get a flag, not

1127
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 8: like not you know, you get some flops like p

1128
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 8: I flops and stuff like that a little bit, but

1129
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 8: it's never like it's never like the soccer dudes. Like

1130
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 8: I think soccer is really the worst soccer dudes when

1131
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 8: they I think it's because the game doesn't stop. Maybe

1132
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 8: that's what it is, so they really need some breaks

1133
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 8: in the game. But these dudes get like touched on

1134
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 8: their shoulder and they like are grabbing the shoulder, mouth

1135
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 8: is wide open, screaming and stuff like that, So I

1136
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 8: think they'd be.

1137
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 3: A little worse off.

1138
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: Do you have a hit that was a welcome to

1139
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: the NFL hit?

1140
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely well.

1141
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 8: I've gotten hit more than what I would like in

1142
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 8: this league, that's for sure, but I would say welcome

1143
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 8: to the league was my It was either either Dante

1144
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 8: high tower my my first year, I caught a slant

1145
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 8: a high one and and brought it in and he

1146
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 8: hit me, knocked the wind out of me, and then

1147
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 8: I would say, after that probably my second in your preseason.

1148
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 8: We were playing the Patriots and I ran another slant

1149
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 8: and thought I was getting busy. After this is before

1150
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 8: I would wear a mouthpiece and caught it and I

1151
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 8: was getting ready to turn up, and Jamie Collins just

1152
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 8: hit me in my in like like one of these

1153
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 8: like in your chest, and it raised up so it

1154
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 8: made me bite through my tongue and I couldn't eat

1155
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 8: food for like a week and a half.

1156
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 3: I had to. It was on like a strictly liquid.

1157
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 2: Ye, why don't you wear a mouthpiece?

1158
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 8: Well, my reason is gonna be even dumber than that.

1159
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 2: Okay, can we guess why Davante Adams wouldn't wear a

1160
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: mouth Let's yeah, I would love the sea.

1161
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 4: You know what?

1162
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 10: You have very nice teeth and a good smile. I

1163
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 10: think for branding, he didn't want to cover up the

1164
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 10: money maker.

1165
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: You want to keep those teeth. That's why you wear

1166
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: the mo reason Okay, cheating? What do you think I think?

1167
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: Because they taste funny?

1168
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 3: All right?

1169
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 7: Marvin new teeth, new teeth like you had gotten them done?

1170
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 8: Oh okay, No, that's not it, but I would say

1171
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 8: it's dumb than all of those.

1172
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 3: For sure.

1173
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 8: I would wear a gold grill, like like the gold

1174
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 8: teeth in in games, so I would I wore I

1175
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 8: wore the tops and bottoms in games. And it was

1176
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 8: it started in high school because it was kind of

1177
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 8: like a culture thing. That's I grew up in East

1178
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 8: Palotto and that was a that was a real popular thing.

1179
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 8: Guys wore grills, and I just decided to keep it,

1180
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 8: and it was kind of it worked as kind of

1181
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 8: like an intimidation factor.

1182
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 3: A little bit too. I would see people.

1183
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 8: People would see it and they'd be like, Oh, this

1184
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 8: dude's wearing the gold teeth in the game, Oh my god.

1185
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 3: And then I'll talk a little.

1186
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 8: Crazier to him too, obviously, and put all that together. So, yeah,

1187
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 8: not the best reason, and I and I put one

1188
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 8: in the next game after that.

1189
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 2: He is a three time All Pro, six time Pro

1190
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: bowler now with the Rams. Davante Adams, how much work

1191
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 2: have you had with Matthew Stafford.

1192
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 3: Quite a bit, man. We we got right to it.

1193
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 8: Had a had a really productive offseason and and I

1194
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 8: worked probably some of the hardest I've worked, just feeling

1195
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 8: really rejuvenated and and and ready to go and win

1196
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:56,919
Speaker 8: some games.

1197
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 3: So he he looks amazing too.

1198
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 8: He looks at just like the Matthew Stafford we all

1199
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 8: fell in love with seventeen years ago when he came

1200
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 8: in doing his thing.

1201
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 3: So I'm having a lot of a lot of fun.

1202
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: Doing it with me. How's McVeigh just like everybody says.

1203
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I haven't heard anybody say anything different about McVeigh.

1204
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 8: I think of any coach ever spoken about to me,

1205
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 8: it's been the most uniform feedback ever.

1206
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: And then I got around him and he completely validated.

1207
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: He's got some energy.

1208
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 8: He's got energy he's got but it's all legit, it's real.

1209
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 8: You can you can feel him. You just love being

1210
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 8: around his energy even when you don't do things wrong,

1211
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 8: or you don't do things right, and you may have

1212
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 8: you know, messed something up, like you don't feel that

1213
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 8: like all my coach is gonna come down on me,

1214
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 8: like he's gonna correct you and he's gonna hold you accountable.

1215
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 8: But it's just a different feeling in that building right now.

1216
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: Anybody that you're looking forward to meeting here in Tahoe, I.

1217
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 8: Really I got to look at who's all here this year.

1218
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 8: I haven't even seen fully everybody, but I've seen a

1219
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 8: lot of the staff and yeah, yeah, I've met all

1220
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 8: those guys.

1221
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1222
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 8: I was on the par five on the other side

1223
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 8: of the course when he knocked it in on uh,

1224
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 8: I think it was number seven.

1225
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: What did you hit the hole in one?

1226
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1227
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 8: When he hit the whole on one, I think that

1228
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 8: was seven. Yeah, And I heard it from like the

1229
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 8: other side of the course. So I felt like I

1230
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 8: met him then if I didn't meet.

1231
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 2: Him before that, I know that you got Taco Bell hat. Yeah,

1232
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 2: and uh so you're you're flying the colors there, Yes, sir,

1233
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: you're so. You walk into Taco Bell and you ordered.

1234
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 8: What two crunch Trap Supremes one, Dorito's locals, Taco Supreme

1235
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 8: no tomatoes on either or two of the other and

1236
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 8: depending on kind of where I'm at with that, camel

1237
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 8: Apple and panada, if they want to bring that back
