We have been all over the map, 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.920 all over the globe. We talked about Jeff Bezos going 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.400 into space for ten minutes and then coming back down. 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.960 We've talked about the controversy behind gold Starred Chilian Cincinnati. 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.680 We've also talked about Game six, the Bucks and the 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.960 Phoenix Suns. We'll get to your phone calls each seven 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.120 seven three, DP show email address, DPA dan Patrick dot com, 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.040 Twitter handle at dp show update the poll results if 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.560 you can Fritzie in the final hour. Okay, We've got 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.800 Rogers holding out then playing for the Packers this season 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.680 fifty eight percent, Rogers reports to camp on time thirty 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.280 seven percent. Then Rogers gets traded a little below eight percent. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.040 All right, man. We're keeping an eye on this because 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.160 Adam Schefter had a tweet earlier where he talked about 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.480 the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two year contract extension 0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.680 that would have tied him to Green Bay for five 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.760 more seasons and made him the highest paid player in 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.040 the NFL. Rogers declined the offer, and then cheft He 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:10.360 ends his tweet by saying proof it's not about the money. 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.480 I don't know what this means as far as the 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.080 timing of it coming out. Now, when did they make 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:20.080 the offer, were they in negotiations? And if so, now 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.120 where do things stand? Because camp opens up next week 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.880 for the Green Bay Packers, we'll get to more phone 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.480 calls coming up. We make way for one of the 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:33.800 great executives in TV history, NBC Universal Sports, the Olympics. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:39.160 He also was one of the creators of Saturday Night Live. Oh, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.600 by the way, he's Dick Arbersol, who joins us on 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.560 the program. Dick, good morning, Thanks for joining us. We 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.080 wanted to talk about twenty five years ago this week, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.160 Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic torch in Atlanta, and I 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.560 was curious the backstory of that, Like, how did you 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.600 keep that secret from everybody, including those who probably worked 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:04.639 for you. Well, it started dan a few days before 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.080 Christmas in I guess it would have been the Games 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.640 where in what ninety six so have been just Christmas 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.200 week in ninety five, and I was in Billy Paine's office. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.359 He was the head of those games. He'd gotten the 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.640 rights to the games for Athens or not Athens, but 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:24.240 in Atlanta, and he went asked by me who had 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.120 he decided would light the cauldron? He said holy Field 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.880 And I said, Billy, I just don't think that's a 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.520 good idea. I just don't think he really has that stature. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.320 I know he's a local guy, but there's somebody who's 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:40.079 much better for this. And he said who, And I said, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.400 Mohammad Ali. And he said, in all earnestness, he said, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.720 I just think I'll have a terrible time trying to 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:50.679 sell that here in Atlanta. And I said, Billy, it's 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:55.520 just it's just not comprehending what Ali is all about. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.079 At this stage of his life, I think he's probably 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.639 the most beloved person in the entire world, other than 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.200 probably the Pope. He's appreciated by young people, by people 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.360 who are now well beyond their youth, who watched his 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.919 valiant fight for what he thought was right. He gave 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:18.799 up his prime earning years. The sacrifices were enormous. He 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.600 put everything on the line, and to show you how 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:27.400 strong he held his opinions, he sat on those sidelines 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:32.200 for several years, losing that money, and in the meantime 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:38.560 he really really tested out the court system, and he 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:44.160 won a unanimous verdict from a very very conservative US 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.960 Supreme Court. I think it was eight to nothing. He 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.760 was vindicated, and he went back to fighting again. And 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.240 Billy said, jeez, I don't still don't think I know enough. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.320 And you remember Lisa Lax who worked for us at 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.320 the NBC. She was our primary filmmaker dan and she 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.920 I said, I want you to make this film. I 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.520 called Don Hewitt, the Sixty Minutes executive prester, and he 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.840 had been the most recent interviewer he'd had. Somebody from 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.560 his staff had been in Cuba but two weeks before 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.160 and done an interview with Ali and Lisa cut all 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.080 this stuff together through the ages and we sent it 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.280 to Billy. This would have been in the spring of 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.800 ninety six, and he watched it and he got a 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.320 pretty strong sense of, you know, what this real Ali 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:32.279 was all about, but he was still a little reluctant. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.800 And at that point I got off the phone and 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:39.200 called Andrew Young, who was a prominent member of the 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.359 board for the Atlanta Games, the former ambassador of the 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:48.359 United Nations, among other things. Big deal in Georgia, and 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.320 I said, you've got to push Billy over the line, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:55.720 and within a day he did. And Billy always always 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:00.880 appreciated that fact. And as Clinton hold at Saint Clinton 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.159 told me the day after the torch lighting, and not 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.160 the torch lighting, but the cauldron lighting in Atlanta, he said, 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.720 when Ali appeared, the world heard the loudest hush in 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.400 human history, because when he came up over the rim 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.280 of the stadium and the public saw him, it wasn't 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.920 initially cheers, It was as kind of an enormous a 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.039 kind of sound that was just everywhere. And what a 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.240 lot of people forget. They spent a fortune building this 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:37.000 ramp on the exterior of what became Turner Field so 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.280 that the athletes could gradually walk up five stories and 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.160 come up over the rim of the stadium, as opposed 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.960 to in the past all Olympic ceremonies they come walking 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:50.280 in some gate into the stadium, but here they just appeared. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.640 And when they saw the athletes coming up and then 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.360 they saw Ali emerge, it was just unbelievable. And as 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:02.360 it was, his courage was on display. And I suggested people, 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.480 I don't know how often you'll be seen again. Now 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.160 we've just had the anniversary, but watch as he holds 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.760 that torch to light the arrow on, not the arrow, 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.800 but the thing that looked like a little rocket that 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.359 was going to shoot up and light the cauldron. And 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.159 the flames are licking back across his forearms, and I 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.520 kept thinking, how much longer can you hold us? Because 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.640 it's got to be burning this the top of his arms, 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.359 But he did until this thing lived. He was an amazing, 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.080 amazing character. And I knew him beforehand because of my 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.640 days in wide world of sports of the ABC, but 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.760 I did get to know him better through the years 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.200 after that. In fact, Susan gave a birthday party for 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:47.880 me my fiftieth in ninety seven, and it was in 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.080 a theater off Broadway and it was the theme was 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.920 This is Your Life and they had cost us play 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.840 the role of was his name Ralph Edwards? Was he 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.320 the host of This is Your Life? Yeah? And he 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.200 had a script inside the book and the voices would go, 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.840 I remember the time, blah blah blah, and all of 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.840 a sudden out would come like Bill Russell and Russell Russell, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.000 who was and still is a very good friend. That 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.360 goes all the way back to me being a teenage 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:22.040 production assistant doing NBA Games while I was still a 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.840 student at Yale. Russell told the story of the two 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.720 of us not knowing it or driving up Route five 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.600 from LA to San Francisco, him on his way home 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.120 to Seattle. I didn't know he was doing this, and 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.680 I was in a Porsche. I'd been unceremoniously let go 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.840 by NBC Entertainment at some point before that, so I 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.680 had decided. I woke up one morning and I I said, 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.040 I'm going to see if I can make it from 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.280 Beverly Hills to the Saint Francis Hotel in San Francisco 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.520 and under five hours. Insane, I mean, whatever I was thinking. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.320 So I'm going out Route five at over one hundred 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.960 miles an hour, and I know this, at this bug, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:06.320 this Volkswagen bug hardtops. It keeps getting closer, and he's 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.160 like hanging off the left side of my car, but 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.800 not quite where I can see the driver. And then 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.360 I realized I can't see the driver. And then suddenly 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.760 the thing pulls dead even and the horn starts beeping, 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.160 and I look and Russell has leaned forward from the 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.560 back sheet and looked at me, and he's smiling. I 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.360 know he's cackling because he doesn't laugh. He cackles, and 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.920 we pull off a Route five and he tells me 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.280 that he's gone down to pick up this car. He'd 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.160 always wanted to have a Volkswagen Bug, so he'd remove 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.040 the front seats and had an oversized seat put in 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.360 the back of it. And he drove from back there, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.440 Dan and we just stood by the side of the road. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.199 And he was here when the Hall of Fame ceremonies 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.679 took place recently in Connecticut and Massachusetts. He stayed here 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.960 with Susie and I and his wife and his godson, 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.520 you know, his godsons, Sean Kemp June Remember Sean. Yeah, Yeah, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:06.720 I played for Seattle. Did did uh Bob Costas know 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.480 the night of the ceremony, the opening ceremonies with the 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.440 torch with Ali? Did he know? No? I never told 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.840 he or Edburg and I only had one conversation about it. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.880 It was somebody else that I don't think you know, 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.600 so I won't mention their name. I just said, I 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.199 think these guys are such solid pros that their excitement 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.320 and their immediate recall of anything that was important about 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:33.840 Ali would easily meet the test. And I didn't tell them. Yeah, 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.600 and they were you know when you hear the tape 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:40.880 even today, they're both extraordinary. I mean, Edinburgh is truly surprised. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:46.960 Dick Hes got a bunch of famous for for his 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.920 O miyes. Yeah, I was just curious. But um bobs 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.679 a recall was splendid. Oh yeah, Like I mean, you 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.960 had to have complete trust in them, and rightfully so 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.920 that you know they would handle the surprise, but they 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.400 would also give you the backdrop of what this moment means, 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.960 that Ali battling Parkinson's you know, even Janet Evans handing 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.040 it off to Ali. I forgot about little Janet Evans 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.040 the swimmer there. Ye Before I let you go, can 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.280 I want to ask one Saturday Night Live question? Do 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:23.320 you remember Eddie Murphy's audition or the reaction to No, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.480 I don't. And here's the interesting thing. When I went 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:32.600 back to the show about two years after Lauren left 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.040 the first time, Yeah, we'd started the show together. I 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.840 left after a bunch of years. He stayed for probably 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.760 five or six longer, and then he left and the 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.920 person who succeeded him just didn't know what to do, 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.720 and the show rapidly fell apart, Lauren was asked to 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.120 go back. He still said no. He didn't like Silverman, 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.680 nor did I. But Brandon Tartakoff, who was my best 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.400 friend from college years and until the day he died, 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.959 he talked me into it and I came back. I 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.960 did not know Eddie other than from being amazed at 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.360 just how funny he was in the few shows I 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.600 had watched in that period, because the show wasn't very 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.760 good other than him, And when I got there, it 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.080 took me about one week to decide that the quickest 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.320 way to at least send the message out that the 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.760 show was back. I constructed the show that the first 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.800 three acts, which is basically eleven thirty to midnight, that 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.840 Eddie would be in every one of them, and they 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.040 would be ones that he had conceived and worked on 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.960 with these two writers who were his partners in Crime 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.920 Come Comedy, Crime all the way until today. They'd written 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.560 all his movies that David Sheffield and Berry Bloasting, and 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.600 he was well, he was eighteen when I got there. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.040 He was eighteen when I got there, and he he 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.640 carried the show. I'll tell you one one story that 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.440 you'll just love, So I get back on the show 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.480 for several months, maybe six, and the security people have 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.080 called upstairs at the NBC and said that, oh god, 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.920 it was the name of the famous children's show. Mister 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.920 Rogers was downstairs and I wanted to see me, so 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.880 they brought him upstairs and he sat with me, and 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.520 he just told me how disappointed he was that Eddie 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:17.160 was doing mister Robinson's neighborhood. He thought it was too 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.319 tough on the show, and I said, no, it's as 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.360 loving as you can get. It's him adapting it to 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:27.480 the circumstances of what a young black kid would fully understand, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.800 and it probably was already a fan of mister Rogers, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.480 and he he just didn't want to accept it. I 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.920 walked him down the hall to a room where ed 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.800 he was with his two writers, and they talked him 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.760 for a while. He was charmed by it, but he 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.480 came back to my honest, and he still said, I 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.320 still wish you can do it. But I just decided 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:50.439 to keep hearing it and continued to be one of 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.600 the two or three things two audiences wanted to watch 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.080 the most, and it was a loving Characterature did you 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.840 try to get mister Rogers on Saturday Night Live with 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.640 But of course he didn't want it, didn't want mister 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.800 Rogers to Aaron where so there were no way behind 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.880 earth he was accept an invitation to come through the show. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.040 So I never made the offer because he was really 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.520 disappointed that I wasn't just ending it to Aaron. Then 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.760 met my office. Hey Dick, it's great to talk to you. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.600 As always, I hope you're doing well. My best to 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.520 Susan and the family. And thank you again too. You're welcome. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.080 Thank you. That's Dick Eversaw, TV executive Senior Advisor for 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.880 NBC Universal Sports the Olympics, former chairman of NBC Sports 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.640 once my boss there at NBC. It's one of those 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.120 where when he holds court and he's got a lot 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.680 of stories to tell, a lot of stories to tell. 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.599 But going back and I, you know, PAULI said, do 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.240 you realize Costas didn't know that Muhammad Ali was going 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.920 to light the torch? And I I can't imagine that Bob, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.120 being the perfectionist that he is, would allow that to 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.719 happen without at least having a sense of the magnitude 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.440 of the But you know what Dick Eversaw was trying 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.760 to do is he wanted it to be a secret, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.000 and he wanted the announcers to have the same reaction. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.280 And Paul, He's done this to me before he goes. Look, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.880 if I find out something, do you want to know 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.720 it or would you rather react, you know, normally or naturally? 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.200 And I and I said, you know, that really depends. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.560 I want to make sure that I if I can 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.040 add something to it, or I need to do research 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.400 to add something to it. Yeah, pol One that stands 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.440 out about whatever the year was that Brett Farve retired 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.360 from the Packers or left the Packers. Jay Glazer called 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.880 in text in and said, I've got a bomb. I've 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.880 got a monster, and we put Jay on hold, and 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.320 I told you to put Jay on without you knowing 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.520 what Jay had to report. And so when you heard 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.800 Jay Glazer say Brett Farve is going to announce his 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.720 retirement tomorrow, you heard at the same time ever, all 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.480 our listeners did, and it was a I thought it 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.240 was a cool that way. Yeah, but if I'm hosting 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.760 the Olympics, I would like to know a little bit more. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.720 But I mean, Bob is such a professional in dick 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.520 Enburg rest his soul, you know, you got the the 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.720 over the top reaction from dick Enburg with the oh 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.960 my and Bob giving you the backdrop on Muhammad Ali 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.760 and the fact that he's up there and when you 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.800 realize he's shaking because he has Parkinson's, Like I worry 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.600 even I'm watching it. I know how it ends. And 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.560 he can only use one hand and those flames are 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:31.880 coming up his forearm. But he he had created such 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.760 goodwill by nineteen ninety six that if you would have 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.280 said to him in nineteen sixty eight or sixty nine 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.200 or seventy, you know, one day you're gonna light the 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:46.480 Olympic torch, the flame the cauldron, probably would have said 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.240 you're crazy. Because I think when Ali got back from 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.920 winning the gold medal in Rome, he threw his medal 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:58.720 into the river in Louisville. And I think there was, 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.880 you know, a racial situation in Rome, and he had 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.080 won the gold medal and he came home and he 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.920 threw his gold medal away. Let's take a break. I 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.560 hope you enjoyed. That might have been a little bit 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.400 out of left field, but just remembering that back and 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.360 also Eddie Murphy, if you want to talk about going 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:23.960 from zero to sixty. When people become an overnight sensation. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.720 Eddie Murphy became an overnight sensation, like a true overnight sensation. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.880 He went. It wasn't zero to sixty, it was zero 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:36.119 to one hundred. And he might have started in October 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.960 and by December he's on magazine covers. He was that 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.000 big a deal back then. Seventeen after the hour, take 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.480 a break here on the Dan Patrick Show.

Is it a torn achilles PAULI? Yeah, 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.720 that's according to Adam Schefter. Nice running back. Yeah, good 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:25.680 story too. Oh that's sad. So he's done for the year. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.520 I don't know how much depth they have a running back. 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.040 I just know Acres. You know, when they when they 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.919 overpaid for Todd Gurley and then they finally got rid 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.480 of Todd Gurley and Cam Akers came in and he 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.240 had a nice season last year. I don't know what 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.800 his numbers are, but it always felt like that they 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:48.040 had a legitimate running game with cam Akers. But Achilles, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.880 was this off season work out because they're not even 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.080 a camp yet. Yeah, very few detail. Schefter has that 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.119 the Rams have an announced. He said he underwent testing 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.560 to confirm the injury. No word from the Rams as 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:03.560 of Tuesday morning. Buck and Ears at the White House today? Um, 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.439 can you imagine Gronk at the White House talk about 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:12.320 the Bowl in China closet? Does he show up with 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:16.040 no sleeves on? Do they have fun at all at 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.160 the White House? Can you, like, what would you want 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:20.919 to do if you only get to go there once? 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:22.879 And let's see, you're a football player, you would want 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:27.160 to go out to the rose garden or the lawn 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.120 and throw football. You can't bring fifty sixty guys into 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.520 the Oval office. I'm guessing that seems like the peak, 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.879 doesn't it of the White House visit? Nobody gets in 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.439 the Oval Office. Kim Kardashian did she did? Yeah? So 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.760 if you're like an individual, yeah, but a group can't. Yeah. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.560 If Tom Brady went there as an individual, then he'd 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.520 get in the Oval office. That seems to be peak 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.320 White House visiness. Yeah, but Kim Kardashian got into the 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.680 Oval Office when when she was there to talk about 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.320 prison reform with a President Trump, yampo. Would you rather 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.200 visit a president of your choice in the White House 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:05.040 and be in the Oval Office with him or fly 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:09.679 with that press same president? Air Force one, same amount 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.200 of time you get like an hour in the Oval 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.080 Office or Air Force one? I think can I would 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.600 do Air Force one because there are a lot of 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.880 people have been to the White House, but you get 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.000 to be on Air Force one? Can you order whatever 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:28.159 you want? No? Just play? You know when when your 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.840 kids if you sit in first class and they play 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.680 with all the buttons or they get into a new 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.399 car and they're pressing all the buttons. Is that we 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.480 would probably what's this dude? No? No, no, no, what 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.119 about that? What's this dude? Yes? Due? And just the 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.320 size of Air Force one, I mean it's gigantic, Yeah, 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.000 it's absolutely massive. That would that's a pretty unique experience. 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.320 I would think air Force one would be pretty good. Yes, 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.480 And one of the president's kids is kicking the back 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:57.160 of your seat whole office like they're gonna be sitting 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:01.560 behind you. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how you're seated. 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.359 Is is it like Warren Buffett and you know the 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.680 billionaires where they have couches in there. I think it's 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.040 not just you know, rows of seeds. I think that's 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:16.119 in the back for the press corps. I don't think everybody. 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.359 I gotta play peekaboo with the President's kid for forty 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.479 five minutes. Yeah, yeah, fully, I always I'm fascinated by 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.720 the White House, the inner workings. When Jerry Seinfeld did 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.880 Comedians and Cars getting coffee with Pres Obama, he said, 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.960 how far could you walk in your residence side in 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.200 your underwear until you encounter someone like a security person? 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:34.920 And of course he didn't answer because I don't walk 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.240 around the in my underwear. But it's fascinating to see, 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.159 like how much my privacy does the president have? Like 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.399 at night? Can you take a walk without seeing a 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.919 security person? Seinfeld should have asked Bill Clinton that question, 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.359 how far can you walk and you're under I go 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.919 off to the Rose Garden, abu scabies. Wouldn't you like 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:56.560 to have Matthew McConaughey interview Bill Clinton or just have 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:01.200 them have a conversation. R R, get back my hair 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.239 stringer guy? Or can we put Bill Clinton in all 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:08.879 of Matthew McConaughey's roles. You know what, put him in 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:13.240 those Lincoln commercials. Let him, let him do whatever those 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:16.760 commercials like can you go? Can you imagine watching those 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.159 commercials with Matthew McConaughey and going, I'm gonna buy me 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:26.640 a Lincoln. Hey, Like there's a Hey, here's a big 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.680 steer in the middle of the road. I'm gonna buy 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.800 a Lincoln. Hey, I'm playing pool at my house, but 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.920 I'm gonna leave and get my car. I'm gonna buy 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:37.240 a Lincoln. It's a baller house, though it is. This 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:41.120
