Why because the word is al Michaels 87 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: is coming back. Let us discuss. So if you didn't 88 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: see this, the news came out yesterday on Friday, and 89 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: the question what is your reac shan to al Michaels 90 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: staying in the Thursday night booth calling NFL games in 91 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: what will be his age eighty two season on planet 92 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Earth in the year twenty twenty six. So my thoughts 93 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,039 Speaker 1: on this, I've got the art of pitching, sainthood and 94 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: slow cooked stew and we will combine all of these 95 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make delicious soft pretzels, 96 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: is what we're going to make. So let's start with this. 97 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: Amazon Prime did confirm I was reading about this yesterday. 98 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: They confirmed the ageless wonder We'll be back in the 99 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: booth for the upcoming next season. Still of the playoff's 100 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: going on, and if you listen closely, if you listen 101 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: close to you could hear the groans of social media 102 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: a holes, the nitpickers being drowned out by the sound 103 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: of a perfectly time pause between a third down snap 104 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: building up the drama. Now, Al says that the passion 105 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: still exists. He said, quote, I feel really good, still 106 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: love what I do. Let me translate that using the 107 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: Mallard decoder ring. That means that he does he have 108 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: the fast ball. No, it's the art of pitching. There's 109 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: more ways than just one to get hitters out. You can, Yeah, 110 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: you can overpower a batter with ninety seven mile on 111 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: hour fastballs. Yeah. However, Al, at this point he didn't 112 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: have the fastball anymore. He's just trying to beguile hitters 113 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: with finesse and finesse pitchers rely on what change ups, curveballs, 114 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: dramatic pauses, and other breaking pitches, and so Tonight, Al 115 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: Michaels is on the call Packers and Bears at Soldier 116 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: Field on the shores of Lake Michigan.

His 119 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: first game there was in nineteen eighty six. Ronald Reagan 120 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: was in off his hair spray, was undefeated, and people 121 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: still believe that the Bears quarterback situation would sort itself out. Yeah. 122 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: Of course, at that time, the Bears had tremendous, tremendous 123 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: def So al Michaels has been the primary voice of 124 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football on Amazon since twenty twenty two. Here 125 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: we are in twenty twenty six, and that extends a 126 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: run of forty years, four decades of Al Michael's on primetime. 127 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: That's two generations that have grown up with Al Michaels 128 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: on NFL primetime games. Now, for me, Al is on 129 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: the path to sainthood for broadcasters, if there is such 130 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: a thing. Someday he will be entombed in the Valley 131 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: of the Kings with microphones wrapped in a linen made 132 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: out of his old play charts, his old call sheets, 133 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: clutching the microphone, whispering, do you believe in miracles? I 134 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: could see that happening, unless I can. Yeah, that miracle, 135 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: by the way, the miracle on ice the big one, 136 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: the big one. And if you're keeping score, that call alone, 137 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: that miracle on ice call alone, all those years ago 138 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: earns Al Michaels a lifetime exemption from the hot take 139 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: goolog Right, he gets a full exemption from the hot 140 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: take attacks and all that. But wait, there's more. Like 141 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: every good infomercial, Al didn't stop there. He just kept 142 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: going and going and going, like the energizer buddy. More like, 143 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: I guess an Al's case, a classic buick that has 144 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: a lot of miles refuses to die because it was 145 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: actually built back when people titaned bolts, made things with 146 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: pride and made things to last, didn't make things to 147 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: fall apart. Within a couple of years now, Al started 148 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: calling games I think I saw was nineteen seventy one. 149 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy one called the Reds, the Giants called baseball 150 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: minor league baseball in Hawaii, back when they had a 151 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: minor league team in Hawaii. Let me paint the picture 152 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: Mallar style to put in perspective here. The nineteen seventy 153 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: one Richard Nixon, Tricky Dick was in the White House. 154 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: Watergate had blown the doors off yet a home, the 155 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: Median Home cost in America twenty four thousand dollars. A 156 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: new car was thirty five hundred dollars. You get gas. 157 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: A gallon of gas would cost you thirty six cents. 158 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: A stamp was eight cents. We just had one of 159 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: our buddies from Ohio sent a nice gift package of 160 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: things because you can visit the studio. One of our 161 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: guys in Dayton fifty dollars in shipping. Fifty dollars this 162 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: guy spent to send packages to the studio. A stamp 163 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: back then eight cents. Cigarettes. You're smoker forty five cents 164 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: a pack of cigarettes if you love the nicotine. In 165 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: other words, to put a ball on this, if you 166 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: had twenty bucks, you were like Rockefeller, or a more 167 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: modern reference I guess would be Jeff Bezos or any 168 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: of those rich tech guys that run the run the 169 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: world right Elon Musk. So, according to the inflation mallor math, 170 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: if you had twenty dollars when al Michael started brought 171 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: casting in nineteen seventy one, one hundred and you'd have 172 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty eight dollars. One hundred and fifty 173 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: eight dollars you would have. So if you had one 174 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: hundred dollars back then, you'd have over six hundred dollars today. 175 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: If my malord math is correct. That's a costco run 176 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: with emotional damage. And through all of that, think about 177 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: what has happened in the world since nineteen seventy one Wars. 178 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: We've had attacked nine to eleven wokesters. We've had all 179 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: kinds of freaks of nature that have taken over pop 180 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: culture and whatnot. The rules have changed. Streaming is now 181 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: a thing. Podcasting what we're doing right now, the invention 182 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: in NFL games of the blue medical tent. When Al 183 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: started calling NFL games, if you got knocked out, just 184 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: rub some dirt in your forehead, don't be a pussy 185 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: willow and get back out on the field. Now everything 186 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: stops and all that, and so Al Michaels has been there, 187 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: He's seen it. This is not his first rodeo. He's 188 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: been around the block a couple of times as well, 189 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: calmly narrating all the football chaos. And he's like a 190 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: museum guide for the NFL. Think about it. He started 191 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: was Pete Roselle was the commissioner the NFL back in 192 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: the day. And how Luckierre we how Luckierre we that Now, 193 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: after this season wraps, Al Michaels he said he's heading 194 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: to Lake Placid to honor the gold medal US hockey team, 195 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: which helped also elevate his career, and during a recent 196 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: chit chat, Al laid out the secret he told Mad 197 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: Dog the secret sauce to longevity. He said, I'll go 198 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: as long as I can if I can still do 199 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: it at the level that satisfies me. Not you, by 200 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: the way, And that's not ego, that's a standard. The 201 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: standard is the standard, as Mike Thomon likes to say. 202 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: And that is the same thing you know, it's it's 203 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: the same thing that that's missing when people scream online. 204 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: Al's lost it. I don't like this. He's not exciting enough. 205 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: He doesn't bark, he's not action. He's not acting like 206 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: a caffeinated auctioneer. He's not doing that. What's wrong with you? 207 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: Come on, Al? Come on? Al. Al doesn't shout, he 208 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: doesn't obviously not. I'm hear say he does. He lets 209 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: the moment breathe. And if it was music, he is 210 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: not electric dance music. He's obviously not. He's not disco. 211 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: He's smooth jazz, keeping your jazz commercial free. Al Michaels, 212 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: he's a fireplace. He's not a ring light. You want 213 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: a ring light, He's not a ring light. He don't 214 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: know what a ring light is. And let's talk about 215 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: the komodo dragging the room, the snuffle effects in the room. 216 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: Respect for your elders. Now, in many Asian cultures, In 217 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: many Asian cultures, elders are revered. Wisdom is currency. It 218 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: is you need to learn from these people, you need 219 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: to appreciate them. In America, we send grandpa to the 220 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: convalescent home to play shuffleboard and bingo and tell him 221 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: to stop bothering us. You're telling me the same story, 222 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: you old geezer. What is wrong with you? And I 223 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: to that, I say, foe foo. If broadcasting we're a monastery, 224 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: al Michaels would be the monk. Everyone actually sits around 225 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: and listens to tell me another story. Al Michaels, I 226 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: want to hear another story. Now. You know how I 227 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: feel about social media being the matrix and all that. 228 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: This social media hullabaloo, the pandemonium around al Michaels, I 229 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: believe is largely manufactured. Now, what is my evidence on that. 230 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: So I had some downtime yesterday and I started fussing 231 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: around with my phone and I clicked on one of 232 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: the stories that had al Michaels returning to Amazon because 233 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: I was interested in it and I wanted to see 234 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: what was going on, And so I accidentally saw some 235 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: of the comments on there, and then I said, oh, 236 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: let me much like the matrix, let me fall down 237 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: the rabbit hole. And I did, and I started clicking 238 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: on people that were just bashing the hell out al Michaels, 239 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: just dropping a guillotine on top of his neck. And 240 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: so I kept going through and I noticed as I 241 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: was going through this, most, not all, most of the 242 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: accounts had all the hallmarks, all the earmarks of fake accounts, 243 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: bought accounts. Now, the part I don't understand, and I'm 244 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: not that smart, you know, I'm just doing a weekend 245 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: podcast right now and I do the overnight show, is 246 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: what is the agenda there? Like why would someone have 247 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: an orchestrated bought attack against al Michaels. It doesn't make 248 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me, Like there's some bot 249 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: farm in Maldo where they're like, all right, let's stop 250 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: attacking Trump. Let's talk, let's attack Al Michaels. I don't 251 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: understand that, but there they were all the things that 252 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm told to look for. The low number of followers, 253 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: the same amount of people you're following, there's a certain 254 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: algorithm that tells you it's a bot. And most of 255 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: these accounts that were taking shots at Al Michaels were 256 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: fake accounts, and they were saying a lot of the 257 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: same things anyway, saying a lot of same things anyway, 258 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: So I think this is mostly manufactured. You'd think that 259 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: Al takes a horse and buggy to work. And one 260 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: thing about Al, he always stays at the Presidential Suite 261 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: when he travels, and he's got car service, And yeah, 262 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't do the horse and buggy. He prepares, 263 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: he watches. He knows when to speak. He also knows 264 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: when to shut up. And that skill alone puts him 265 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: ahead of ninety five percent of the younger generation of announcers, 266 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: who treat every second like they're trying to get a 267 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: viral moment on TikTok. Every single moment needs to go 268 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: viral on the TikTok and all that stuff, and it 269 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: just come on, take a breath, Take a breath, as 270 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: Doc Mike would say. Now, there are exceptions. I'm not 271 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna say there's every young get off my lawn, every 272 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: young broadcast Noah Eagle Pops Future Goat Noah Eagle, Amazing, 273 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: Amazing on NBC. Had a chance to meet him as 274 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: a young lad. He's like nineteen, he started doing Clipper 275 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: games on the radio, and so he's the exception of 276 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: the rule. But by and large, the new wave is 277 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: loud soup. It's all salt, no stock and al Michaels. 278 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not some loud soup. I'm not all salt, 279 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm not no stock. I'm slow cook Stew is what 280 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: I am? Slow cook stew. That is me, That is me? 281 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: And yes, is he mellow at time? Yeah he is. 282 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: He's mellow now, his inflections don't spike like a heart 283 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 1: monitor in a horror movie. And there's a level of 284 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: confidence that he's still able to call a great game 285 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have to go up and all that stuff. 286 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: And when you've seen everything, you don't flinch at a 287 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: screen pass. You don't. And as an added bonus, and 288 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: I must full disclosure talk about this as an added 289 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: bonus personal bias alert, as I have something in common 290 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: with al Michaels. We shared dietary habits. The most famous 291 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: quirk of the life of al Michaels, who famously said 292 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: that he never has eaten a vegetable ever. He said, quote, 293 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: man does not need vegetables to survive. Quotes quote That 294 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: is not a diet, That is a philosophy, that is 295 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: a life goal. Meat, potatoes and destiny. And I believe 296 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: in the cause. I believe, I stand and in lockstep. 297 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: I stand in lockstep with al Michaels. I do, I 298 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: just say, And so tonight, when al Michaels opens his 299 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: mouth and the game begins, al Michaels and Herbie understand 300 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: what you're hearing. I understand. You're not just hearing Packers 301 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: versus Bears, dumb bears, the Green Packers and the Rgo Bears, 302 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: the monstrous of Midway, the trees hells. Make sure when 303 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: you come down, stop at the Cheese Castle and Kenosha 304 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: on your way down from Green Bay. What you're hearing 305 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: is greatness, continuity, history. You're hearing history. You're hearing a 306 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: living archive who still loves what he does and does 307 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: what he loves the craft, right that. Yeah, is it nostalgia? 308 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: Of course it is for me part of it. You know, 309 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: growing up, I was a little nine year old kid. 310 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to be on the radio. I want to 311 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 1: be on TV. And there was al Michael's calling him 312 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: Monday night game with you know, I'm trying to think 313 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: who he was with at that time. It was Frank Gifford, 314 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: or might have even been before that he was. I 315 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: remember watching al Michael's doing a Monday night baseball game 316 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: before before time, and it was him, And how would 317 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: co sell? It's just great? And so he still does 318 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: it and he meets his own standards, not your standards, 319 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: and Amazon's okay with it, and Jim Harball would say, 320 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: who's got it better than us? And again, how lucky 321 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: are we? So I urge you to enjoy it while 322 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: you can't. Is this is getting eighty two? You're eighty two? 323 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: You know? 324 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? That many more games to call, you know, because someday, 325 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: and sooner than later, the booth will be quieter. They'll 326 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: get some hot shot hipster broadcaster in there, and the 327 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: pauses are going to be gone, and you'll realize what 328 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: you know hemy once in a while. It'd be nice 329 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: if you just hit the pause button. That'd be pretty cool. 330 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: I meanwhile, turning the page. Let's workshop. I'm gonna continue 331 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: the anti vegetable movement that Al Michaels gave that famous quote, 332 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: one of the great quotes of all time. Man does 333 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: not need vegetables to survive, and Al is the proof 334 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: of that. He said, well, you don't need your vegetable. 335 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: I remember my mom, If you don't need your vegetables, 336 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: you're not gonna grow tall. You're not You're bah blah 337 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: blah blah b Well, mom, Al Michaels is eighty gonna 338 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: be eighty two and seems perfectly fine. That's a good run. 339 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: He's on bonus time, right. He's in the average life 340 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: like seventy five, I think, or something like the average 341 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: mail is to about seventy five. So Al's on bonus time. 342 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: He's on bonus time. Good for him. Now, I got 343 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: to tell you, I'm still traumatized by the little rascals. 344 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: I used to watch reruns when I was a kid. 345 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: That character Alfalfa, they say, the father of all foods. 346 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: Alfalfa for me, it was nightmare fuel. For me. It 347 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: was nightmare fuel. It was, And so I said, we're 348 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: going to workshop this anti vegetable movement. Let's think of 349 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: this like politics. You know, you have people fighting team red, 350 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 1: team blue. There's very few bipartisan issues. And I understand 351 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: there's already a Green Party. I know there's a Green Party, 352 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: but this is the New Green Party, all right, n GP, 353 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: the New Green Party. Did you write that down? Yeah? 354 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: N g e New Green Party. And al Michaels is 355 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: part of our party. Puka Nakool of the Rams and yours. 356 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: Truly we are all big anti veggie people. Now imagine 357 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: if you will, that for this little exercise, little workshop, 358 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: I am the campaign manager some pillars of our movement 359 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: against the industrialized agriculture in America, Big Aggie, we'll call 360 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: it big Aggie, big Farm. I can't say pharma because 361 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: that's that's pharmaceudals. So our slogans here, what would they be? 362 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm the campaign Meager Vegetable lives matter, stand up, speak out, 363 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: stop the slaughter of salad, to stop it, stop it. 364 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: This election season, I want you to join the anti 365 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: veggie movement because every carot deserves a future, every broccoli 366 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: deserves a childhood and every legome deserves liberty. Dropped the mic. 367 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: How about this? For too long? Big salad has controlled 368 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: the narrative. For too long. Humans have marched into grocery 369 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: stores like zombies, with reckless abandon ripping innocent greens from 370 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: their homes, tearing families of asparagus apart, and sentencing helpless 371 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: zucchinis to life on a cutting board. No more, no more, 372 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: put us stop this right now. And I urge you. 373 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: I beg you to join the NGP, the New Green Party. 374 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: It's not bad, right, I mean, it can touch it 375 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: up a little bit. We'll clean that up and post. Now, 376 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: if I were to make a thirty second political ad, 377 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: as you know, I love my Live Reads, it's our 378 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: number one, our number two. So let's let's attempt this, 379 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: all right. I want you to let me know what 380 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: you think, and if this becomes a thing, we can start. 381 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: But again, the NGP, the New Green Party. So this 382 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: is a thirty second think of this like a political 383 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: ad election season, Vegetable Lives Matter vl M or whatever. 384 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: So it starts out in my head, and again this 385 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: is the cartoon bubble the top my head. So it 386 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: starts out with some somber piano music, and then there's 387 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: a slow zoom on a lonely carrot in a field, 388 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: and it's all by itself. It's all by itself. And 389 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: then the the commercial starts, and I'm just imagine I'm 390 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: the narrator. It's Ben Maler here to speak out against 391 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: the industrial complex of big veggie. For too long in 392 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: this country, innocent vegetables have suffered in silence, ripped from 393 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: their homes, chopped without mercy, tossed into salads without a 394 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: second thought. So at this point and paused the commercial. 395 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: It's a TV commercial, so we cut to black and 396 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: white footage of broccolia, a really beautiful piece of broccoli 397 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: trembling in the wind. Now we get back to the 398 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: narrator voice. I'm gonna be the narrator, but now I 399 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: gotta go. Let me do that. I got aho slur. 400 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: But now a movement rises, a movement that says no more, 401 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: a movement that believes every leafy green deserves the chance 402 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: to live a long, full, productive life in nature where 403 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: they belong, not on your dinner plate. So we then change, 404 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: because it's TV commercial, so we have the music really 405 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: starts to swell at this point, it's like, really, you know, 406 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's a real sappy yeah. And then we'll 407 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: sell patriotism. We'll get the American flag. We'll have that light, 408 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: you know, lighting that American flag style lighting behind and 409 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: then an untouched it's all emotional here, untouched head of lettuce. 410 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: So so sappy music, just imagine that. And then you 411 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: got that lighting like it's on the American flag and 412 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: then behind the untouched head of lettuce. All right, let's 413 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: get back to the to the copy. So the narrative was, 414 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: join the anti vegetable movement, stand up for spinach, fight 415 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: for freedom of peas, protect the pod born. All right. 416 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: Then we pause again because it's TV commercials, so we 417 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: pause again, dramatic, dramatic pause. Vegetable lives matter because even 418 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: salads deserve justice. And then you fade fade to black, 419 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: and then you put on there paid for by the 420 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: New Green Party. All right, so yeah, we can dress 421 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. That's just my idea, just 422 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: my idea for my campaign. I think we can all 423 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: get behind that. I think everyone will get behind that 424 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: and we will all be better off. And that is 425 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: the one thing we can all find appealing, because even 426 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: people that eat vegetables don't usually like they pretend likely 427 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: like vegetable. You know, I'm talking those people that are like, oh, 428 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: I like vegetable, I'm a vegetable person. I'm better than 429 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: you and all this stuff. I'm like, I don't think 430 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: you're I think you're just programmed, right, You're indoctrinated into that. 431 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: And that's the issue there, you and your little leafy 432 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: greens and all that stuff. I know, the smell of califlower, 433 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: you think that's good. You might want to grow to 434 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: the doctor. You look forward to eating a plate of 435 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: Brussels sprouts. I think you had some trauma as a child. Hey, 436 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: you think a sweet potato is as good as a 437 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: regular potato? Come on, now, there is an exception, and 438 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: I fully admit it, because every rule has an exception. Garlic. 439 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: Garlic is the exception. That's it. That's the only exception. 440 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear any complaints about that. 441 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: And technically they say garlic is the vegetable, but I 442 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: just believe that's because the garlic people. The garlic people 443 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: want garlic to be part of the vegetable community because 444 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: they think it's cool. They think it's cool. And we 445 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: all know that garlic is a crossover because it can 446 00:28:54,560 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: deter vampires from attacking. And who wants to be a 447 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: act by vampires? I don't know anybody wants to be 448 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: attacked by vampires. And so vampires exposed the garlic, uh, 449 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: you know what, they just they have terrible problems. It's 450 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: a big issue for them in the vampire community. And 451 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: and the other thing is it's it's a great vegetable. 452 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: And for those of us that are part of the 453 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: movement here against the just shoving vegetables down our throat, 454 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: the garlic again, we consider that a non vegetable. It's it's, 455 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a little bit of this. It's like 456 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: a super thing, is what. And it's nature's antibiotic, right, 457 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: Garlic is nature's antibiotic, and so we we take that 458 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 1: as our own anyway, all right, we'll get out on that, 459 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: have a wonderful rest of your Saturday, and please enjoy 460 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: those NFL games Benny versus the pay Remember you gotta 461 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: binge watch Benny versus the Penny.
