WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Brian Baumgartner (07-17-20) 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.720 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Friday, Dan and the 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.080 Danettes Dan Patrick Show. We'll lighten the mood a little bit. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.360 Later on he played Kevin on the Office. Brian Baumgardner 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.479 will join us got a podcast, The Oral History of 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.880 the Office, and we will ask the tough questions, such 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.400 as did Jim wear a hairpiece during one of the 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.440 seasons of the Office. At least sources close to me 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:32.559 say that is true. Washington Redskins owner Daniel Steiner provided 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:36.680 no statement, declined several interview requests from The Washington Post 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.920 in connection with the story of fifteen former female employees 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.160 who allege that they were the victims of sexual harassment 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.640 while working for the team that Snyder owns. Instead, all 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.680 the comments have come from head coach Ron Rivera. Ron 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:54.120 Rivera just got there. He should not be at the 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.040 forefront the voice of the Washington Redskins. He's been there 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.959 less than six months. He coaches a football team, and 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.120 we'll have a hard time doing just that. He doesn't 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.480 run human resources here. I don't know if Daniel Snyder 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.600 says anything. The owners will meet virtually today to discuss 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.880 rules for training camp, and I guess there's a chance 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.559 that the issue will be addressed in that session. I'd 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.880 love to be able to be a fly on the 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.640 wall when the commissioner brings it up. How do you 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.720 bring it up? You can't bring it up to the owners. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.280 I think you have to bring that up private, privately 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.480 with Daniel Snyder. And I'm going to guess that you 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.520 have radio silence through the weekend with the NFL and 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:41.360 the owner, the Washington Redskins. Yeah, McClellan. The NFL also 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.600 has this big thing going on. I mean, how are 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.920 they going to settle with the NFLPA in two days? 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.840 It doesn't make any sense to me. Well, that's another 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.040 thing that has been lost on a lot of people. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:57.800 We assume the NFL will play football. They're debating right 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.600 now if there's any preseason games. The play don't want 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.040 any preseason games, and they want testing every single day. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.760 We haven't even figured that out yet, and they've had 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.800 months to figure this out, and they still have some 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.680 time here. But the rookies are showing up on Monday, 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.560 and you don't have safety precautions put in place with 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.040 all of these teams, and now you have some of 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.440 these star players basically saying, wait a minute, what are 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.160 we doing here? All of these weeks we kept saying, hey, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.240 NFL's got time. College football they got the benefit of time. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.880 They don't have time on their side anymore. It's here. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.160 It's here for baseball, it's here for basketball, and football 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:43.160 is just starting with their rookie camp and then college football. 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.639 You're trying to get players to be able to practice together. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:51.440 Can you do that? I have serious doubts about it, 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:56.359 but we've seen progress. But the question is are people 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.079 going to abide by the rules? So you have those 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.880 safety precautions put in place and you have people willing 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.160 to abide by them. That's really the key here if 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.239 you're going to have it. And I have serious doubts 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.840 that college football and pro football start on time. Baseball 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.919 maybe they figured it out. NBA has done the best 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.040 because they have the opportunity to be able to have 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.480 everybody in one place and you could monitor them, and 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.360 you have far less people involved in this. You know, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.160 with college football, just do the numbers of let's say 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.120 a team has ninety players on the roster. You can 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.520 have walk ons and maybe have a little bit more 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.960 than that. All the people involved in the football team. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.200 So let's say you have one hundred and fifty people 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.680 with each school and just do the numbers of the 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:49.160 Power five conferences. Got thousands and thousands of tests that 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.160 I have to be available. And then if you test positive, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.400 they're saying you're gonna miss two weeks of action. So 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.160 you can miss two weeks of the regular season. The 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.200 odds are not in their favor, the math is not 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.680 in their favor, and following safety protocol not in their favor. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.480 And you don't have time on your side any longer. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.480 Eight seven seven three d P show email address DP 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.840 at Dan Patrick dot com. Tiger Woods back yesterday and 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.839 Columbus at Jack Nicholas's tournament the Memorial. And the last 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.679 time we saw him was Tiger, Phil Nicholson, Tom Brady 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.440 and Peyton Manning in that challenge. And at the time 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.560 when I was watching Tiger, everybody was watching Tom Brady. 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.720 You hit it right and left and made a mess 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.480 of it. Manning was sneaky good. Phil tried to give 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.600 a tutorial with every shot he was taking. Tiger just 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:46.240 hit shots, had a little bit of commentary, but I 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.839 was noticing, focused, fixated on Tiger his ability to hit 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.560 the shot that he wanted to hit, and it was 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.599 very repetitious. It felt like he was in a good 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.480 rhythm there. But that's the last time we saw him play. Now, 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.680 you know, you're out there with Bryson Deshambo, who has 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.920 become the face of the tour, and he's out driving 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:14.200 everybody just the way Tiger did a decade ago. We're 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:19.320 two decades ago. But Tiger was winning. Deshambo is hitting 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:24.160 the ball four hundred yards and Golf's unpredictable. We know that. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.719 And I don't know if Tiger or Deshambo will be 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.920 there on Sunday, but just having Tiger in the tournament 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.000 makes it different, special, and maybe it's a preview of 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.840 the major tournaments that we hope to have the rest 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.159 of this year. But Tiger yesterday one under par. That's fine. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.600 Just get out there, try to get that rhythm back. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.200 But I do want to see Tiger and Deshambo together, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.960 because you had Tiger with Brooks Kapka and Roy McElroy yesterday. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.359 But Tiger, if he could get paired with Bryson Deshambo, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.200 that would be fun. Because when they played a practice round, 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.919 I'm told that de Shambo when he hit a not 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.159 a great drive was fifteen yards pass Tiger. When he 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.960 hit a great drive, he was fifty yards pass Tiger Woods. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.760 And it's not like Tigers, you know, hitting it on 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.480 the senior tour here like he can still move it 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.760 out there a little bit. But it'd be fun to see. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:23.599 But Bryson to Shambo, he is he's turning these golf 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.800 courses upside down, but only from the standpoint of how 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.600 far he hits it. I want to see if he scores, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.039 because if he does that, then you're going to really 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.200 get people's attention. But if he continues to hit a 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.719 three hundred and fifty four hundred yards and he's you know, 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.479 two hundred par okay. But if he ever figures out 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.040 how to chip and how to put, then all of 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.440 a sudden, that's going to change the game. He'll he'll 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:52.560 change the game. He'll change the golf ball in the 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.800 game of golf because they're gonna have to get to 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.039 that point something Jack Nicholas has been been saying for 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.440 forty three years. You know, remember when they Tiger Proof 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.799 to Gusta years ago and Charles Barkley came on the show, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.320 and you know said that you know it was wrong. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.400 You can't be doing that the Tiger And I said, Charles, 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.800 do you know they did that to Jack Nicholas in 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.440 the early sixties and he didn't know it because we 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.320 assumed that, Hey, golf started when Tiger Woods started playing. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.440 It didn't work when they did that to Jack. They 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.240 tiger proof Augusta because Jack hit it farther than everybody else. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.200 And Jack has been saying, you gotta change the golf ball. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.080 If you change the golf ball, and I truly believe, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.920 and I have no sources with the Masters, I truly 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.120 believe the Masters might lead the charge that they come 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.280 up with their Masters golf ball. And you have to 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.520 you have to abide by our specs. If it's Nike, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.920 if it's gonna be Callaway, if it's Tailor made, it's titles. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.400 These are the specs we won for that golf ball 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.440 because having played Augusta, there are certain holes that can't 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.560 be lengthened. And this is what we keep doing. We'll 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:11.280 have it. I remember playing golf course, it'd be seven 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:16.000 thousand yards. Now they'll do seventy five hundred yards. Not 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.280 even think about it because the technology and the golf ball, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.600 they just make it longer. And I never understood that 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.800 if I really wanted to penalize tiger Woods, I'm not 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.880 gonna make it longer, but I'm certainly gonna make it tighter. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.760 And any of these long hitters, that's when you really 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.600 want to see. I want more golfers involved that are 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.840 actually golfers, not somebody just who hits bombs. I love 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.160 watching it, but this is the problem we have with baseball. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.400 Baseball is about hitting bombs. It's not about anything else. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.960 It's hitting bombs. Golf has become about hitting bombs. Tennis 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.599 is about hitting bombs. And that's the problem I have 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.600 with these sports. There's no other movement. They're not volleying 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.520 that much in golf. Are you good around the greens? 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.880 How many people can you know be involved in these 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.000 tournaments be competitive when it's all about distance. Baseball it's 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.160 all about hitting home run. Nobody cares to be about 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.480 you know, three twenty five and you hit you know, 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.280 nineteen home runs. That's pedestrian. We want you hitting two 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.080 seventy five and hitting forty two home runs, strike out 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.800 one hundred and eighty times. Who cares you want movement 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:26.160 in sports, Tennis doesn't have it. Golf is just get 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.040 up there and swing hard, and I would still like 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.200 to see the shot making come back. And baseball has 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.480 no movement either. If you watch a game, it's pretty stationary. Yeah, 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.920 point Bryson d Chambeau. I guess he put on about 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.560 twenty pounds over the past maybe more year. He's list 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.280 at six one two forty. You see a lot of 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.480 muscular guys who can't hit a golf ball. Is muscularity 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.679 important to distance while hitting a golf ball? Well, traditional 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.920 weightlifter muscles well, look at Brooks Kepka, he's a weightlifter. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:02.440 Dustin Johnson's an athlete. Dustin Johnson is a pure athlete 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:07.240 out there. De Shambo put on like thirty pounds, I guess, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.640 and he works out and so it's muscle like. There 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.280 are guys who are big. John Dailey's big, but he's 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.000 you know, not muscular. You know, it's weird. You can 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.400 be five five foot eight in one hundred and fifty 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.199 pounds and hit it. Justin Thomas is not big at all. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.440 He's small. So golf is about lag, It's about you know, 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.680 everything coming together at the right time and having the 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:38.320 science down rising the shambo basically, you know, treated this 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:43.120 like its rocket science. He he's got a driver. You know, 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.559 normally your driver is like nine or nine and a 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.000 half or ten. His is I think five and a half. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.080 And his clubs are all the same size. So everything 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.080 about this is science. But if you're putting on forty 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.600 pounds in two years and you watch the Shambo when 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.760 he's he swings as hard as he can possibly like, 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.079 you think his arm's gonna fall off one day or 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.440 a back injury here, because that was always the concern 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.320 about Tiger is he would post on his left leg 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.920 and I kept thinking at some point that knee cannot 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.280 take that much torque, and it proved to be true. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.880 Is back in his knee. It's just that's why when 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.360 you see guys who have like Louis Ustazen has the 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.040 most effortless swing, Ernie else like those guys can play 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.080 golf for the rest of their lives. Although Ernie has 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.160 had some health issues. You know Freddie Couples. I think 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.120 the heaviest thing he lifted was a beer. And Freddie 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.680 has a wonderful swing, but he has back issues as well. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.520 But I remember Tiger back in the early nineties and 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.559 I said, I don't know if that swing can hold up. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.840 Just you know, the physical like the laws of gravity 0:11:53.960 --> 0:12:00.319 or geometry, trigonometry, whatever it is, where all the angles 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.840 there and the force the sheer force. But when you're 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.320 hit ball speed is over two hundred miles an hour. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.800 We can get on the simulator here and I can 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.120 tell you, guys, swing as hard as you possibly can, 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:17.040 and you won't come anywhere near two hundred miles an 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.439 hour on yeah, Pulley. By the way, A couple of 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.760 years ago, I was watched like the PGA channel or whatever, 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.360 and I saw a post match interview with Bryson d Shambo. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.120 I'm like, wait a second, he's American. I assumed he 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.560 was French with that name Dschambau. He's just assuming you 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.440 never heard the guy interview before. He drinks like, you know, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:40.040 six shakes protein shakes a day. It's the calorie intake 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.600 is incredible. But I do think golf will have to 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.360 look at this at some point as a business and 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.120 say and they may say, look, we love that people 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.400 are tuning in to watch Bryson Dashambo. I mean they 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.880 may because I do I'm watching Bryson Dashambo to see 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.040 how far he can hit it. Everybody else I'm watching 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.560 to see how they play the course. I'm just watching 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.440 him to see how he hits it. And as we 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.880 like to say, he leaves nothing in the bag. He 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.880 is going after it there, all right? So I mentioned 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.440 we'll have Kevin from the office joining us, coming up. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.640 A couple of phone calls in here. Let me see. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.400 How about Nate in New York? Hey, Nate, what do 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:20.199 you have for me today? DP? Third time? Long time? 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.320 How we doing? Good, sir? What's on your mind? I 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.439 just you were talking about the NFL and how they 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.880 wanted to get rid of all the preseason games, and 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.040 I was wondering they were going to address the issue 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.120 on the amount of injuries being so astronomical that they 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.120 actually do go away from having no preseason games and 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.400 all the full time players would be in full time 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.559 right off the bat. Well, there are players who need 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.440 it the last couple of games, the first couple of games. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.640 Thanks for the phone call, Nate. You need your free 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.480 agents in your rookies to get ready. You do need 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.280 a couple of preseason games, and then your regular players. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:59.839 Star players usually need one tune up. There is a 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.800 use for preseason games. The problem is is the owners 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.840 would charge you the same amount of money or if 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.640 you were doing season tickets, to get season tickets, you 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.480 had to sign up for the preseason as well. I 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.439 didn't appreciate the price gouging there, but I do understand 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.439 that you do need some preseason games or at least, 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.840 you know, scrimmages with other teams. That's what I had 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.160 said all along. If you have scrimmages there, can you 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.160 still accomplish what you want to? And I'm you know, 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.880 I've been told by numerous people. You still want them 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.280 to run out in front of a crowd, in front 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.360 of you know, with the lights on you and it 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.640 feels like you're on stage. It's bigger because you got 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.200 to get ready for that moment. But I can't see 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:45.240 preseason games this year. Camp. We got fifty five days 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:52.360 until Texans Chiefs Thursday night. Now that sounds like a 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.280 lot of time, but understand it's not. Because the players 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.160 are asking do we have we thought about these things? 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.680 And the rookies show up on Monday. Now the players 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.360 realize they don't have time on their side. And now 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.600 this is where the Players Association is kind of hitting 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.400 back at the owners to say, you guys got all 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.040 of this and I'm ready to go in place and 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:20.120 they don't. James in Virginia is joining us on the program. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.240 Hi James, thanks for holding what do you have? Good 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.760 morning brother, Happy Friday. Thank you for taking my call. 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.520 Sure it's a lot going on today, man, it's a 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.960 whole lot. I gotta say, man rogues over towels, rolls 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.520 over towels, and uh, I gotta say it sounds like 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.160 there's a stat off coming on between I mean, loving 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.440 and eatan man got to have a stat off sports 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:47.160 Jeopardy style, Okay. And then to the elephant in the room, Man, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.680 you know, I'm Burgundy and Gold through and through man, 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.680 But it's very disheartening this morning manum waking up this 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.600 morning representing the Burgundy and Gold man. I was telling 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.360 your producers, Man, like, you know, maybe not on the 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.320 field or with football, but mister Snyder has a very 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.600 prominent voice in the resident in Washington's organization. And it's 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.120 very surprising that mister Snyder YO would allow things to 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.720 go on in his organizations. But his wife is such 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.920 so pregnant inside the building. Man, I will say, Man, 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.640 going forward, m I am happy that wrong Rivera is 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.440 there and that he provides a state of stability, you know, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.800 that that strong force you know of change, you know, 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.720 and I want to say, man, thank you to those 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.760 that had the fortitude to step up and to speak 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.520 out and the force change. Man. I mean, you've got 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.920 to have people that are willing to put themself on 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.280 the line. So so thank you, man, and hopefully going 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.640 forward we see something better. And I'll leave you with 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.720 this last week, man, I think, giving all the circumstances, 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.680 the perfect name for the team going forward is the Phoenix. Man. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.520 It's a lot of fire and a lot of ash, man, 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.960 and it's time to rise above it and start a 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.880 new man. I hope you'll have a great weeked Man, 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.760 and thank you to take Thank you, James. Always good 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:03.720 to hear from you. I always hear from James. When 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.919 the topic is the Washington Redskins. Ron Rivera should not 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.920 be the person who is leading the charge of being 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.880 the voice of change with the Washington Redskins. This isn't 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:19.320 an on the field violation. This isn't a a critique 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.080 of the play of the team. He hasn't been there 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.520 six months. He's the guy who says, hey, this isn't 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.320 going to happen. We're not going to tolerate this. This 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.359 is a workplace violation. And Daniel Snyder is the one 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:38.560 who should be saying something here. And silence speaks volumes here. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.520 But when I see that Ron Rivera is speaking out, 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.480 I acknowledge that I'm glad he is. But this has 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:50.800 nothing to do with Ron Rivera. As they move forward, okay, 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.720 but it still comes back to an owner who hired 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.040 these people. He's the one that should be saying something, 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.080 not Ron Rivera. It's not fair to put him in 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.800 this situation. Yeah. See, would it be weird to just 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:06.800 have say, New York play Boston and Los Angeles play 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.760 San Diego? And and you know why, why do the teams? 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.440 I guess this is sort of a more abstract discussion 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.439 or something off on a little bit of a side tangent. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.920 But why do we need nicknames like that or mascots 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.320 or why do you need the Yankees versus the Red 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.399 Sox when you could just have New York versus Boston. 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.359 But then you have New York Jets, and then you 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.160 have New York Giants, and then you have the LA 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.919 Chargers and then the LA Rams. Yeah, how do you 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:36.080 designate LA versus? Like Manchester United versus Manchester City, same 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.040 same place, just different teams. Yeah, but one's Man United 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:45.919 in one's Man City. You don't have Los Angeles where 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:52.360 where where's the the stadium located by the airport. Well, 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.520 they're both, Yeah, they're both playing in England again, so 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.960 they're even playing in the same I think, move the 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.320 Chargers back to San Diego, move the Jets to Queens, 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.080 and then we could do it that way. Yeah, but 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.720 I people love the nickname, they love the mascot, and 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.000 they love you know, it's the whole pomp and circumstance 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.000 stuff like that. Yes, time, that would be weird for me. Like, 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.240 you know, I love the logo of the horse with 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.520 the broncos, So you know, I could definitely appreciate, you know, 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.520 rallying behind your team colors in that name. Even though 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.439 you know the Seaton's point, it does seem a little ridiculous. 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:30.680 Why do you have to call it something that could 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.600 potentially offend somebody. We'll take a break here. Brian Baumgartner 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.280 played Kevin in the Office will join us. I'm trying 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.000 to lighten the mood a little bit here and more 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:41.840 phone calls will try to squeeze those in. It's a 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.560 tragger meat Friday. The traggers fired up. I'm being told 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:52.120 Carnitas is that rights Stacos? All right? It sounds good. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.360 Anything sounds good today, all right? Twenty after the hour, 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.800 we're back after this and the Dan Patrick Show. Callaway 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.320 has created their most advanced tour ball ever, and it's 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.480 the ball that changed the ball, the Chrome Soft. They 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:09.240 took it apart, completely changed everything again. Callaway knew that 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.400 there was more performance out there the chromes Soft, and 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.760 they wanted to make sure that they provided the best 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:19.480 performing tour ball and made it even better. Callaway invested 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:24.040 significantly in their US based golf facility, Chickapee, Mass Pauli 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.000 and Seaton took a ride up there last year and 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.719 put on a display. From what I'm told, the new 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.280 chrome Soft delivers an unmatched combination of speed, consistency, spin 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.280 and control. It's a ball built for total performance.

He is the actor 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.960 Kevin from the Office, host and executive producer of an 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.880 oral History of the Office podcast, and you can find 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.879 that on Spotify. I started the interview by asking Brian, 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:02.240 how are you? Brian? I could not be prouder of myself. Okay, 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.840 let's me let me be very clear about this. You know, 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.760 we just finished the American Century Championships up here in 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.159 Lake Tahoe. Yeah, I don't know if you heard. I 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:15.240 did hear? You? In thirtieth place, the top half of 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.679 the field, with elite athletes all around me. I was 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.640 very proud of myself. Okay, who did you play with? UM? 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.400 I played well? The first day. They liked to put 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:31.439 let's just say the jokers together, so I had Larry 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:38.119 the cable guy, and UM and John O'Hurley from Seinfeld. 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:42.080 But but I I made positive numbers every day. The 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:46.160 second day I played with Adam Feeling and Aaron Rodgers, 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:51.400 and the third day mister Rogers and aj Hawk. How 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:57.120 was Aaron Rodgers? He played great? I know, but chatting? 0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:02.160 Does he an office fan? Well? Yeah, we're old friends. 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:08.240 I've we've discussed this before. I met him in two 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:12.520
