1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Mike Florio's new book, Playmakers, How the NFL

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: Really Works and Doesn't now available online wherever books are sold,

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: and it's the best best seller here. Florio joining us

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: in the news yesterdays. Bruce Arians, in one of his

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: last things that he said as the head coach of

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, called out Florio and said that, well, go

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: ahead and you can write about it. Mike, what did

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: you make of Bruce Arians yesterday? Yeah, I'm sitting there

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: minding my own business, Dan, in my office working on PFT,

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: got a window opened with the Buccaneers press conference, and

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'd have had a mouthful of water

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: or coffee or well it was too early to have

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: anything stronger than that, I would have spit it all

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: over the computer screen. I couldn't believe it. And look,

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I like it. It just shows that they read and

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: they head and they listen and they pay attention. And

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's not thrilled with my speculation slash somewhat

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: informed discussion of how this all came to be. But

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: any chance that you know, the way he announced his

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: retirement is actually real, like it's true, Well, when has

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: this ever happen? First of all, so first time since

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson left the Cowboys in March of nineteen ninety

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: four that a coach has exited this late in the cycle.

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: None of it adds up. He was all in, He

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: was at the scouting combine, he was involved, he was

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: involved in free agency, and the idea that tom Brady

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: coming back caused him to say now is the time

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: to leave, of anything, it would cause him to say

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: now is the time to stay. I was worried about

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do without tom Brady. Now tom Brady

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: is back in seventeen days after this was the key

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: for me. Dan. Seventeen days after Tom Brady ends a

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: forty day retirement, Bruce Arians is out. And there's never

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: even the most remote suggestion that Tom Brady is troubled

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: by that. Do that tell us kind of everything we

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: need to know? And I think we're underrating what Bruce

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Arians means to the football team on game day. But

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: the fundamental problem here, I think arose from the fact

40
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: that Arians wasn't involved with the team most of the time,

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: and that he would show up and become involved and

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: at a certain point, the folks who were grinding every day,

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: busting their asses every day are going to resent that.

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's where some of this professional friction

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: came from. Doesn't mean there's personal friction. You know. The

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: arians fallback is we get along fine. Well, There's been

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: plenty of people I've worked with over the years that

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: I love him personally. Professionally, I just can't work with

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: you anymore. It's possible that those two things can exist.

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: What do you think happened when Brady went to London

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: something and it was so funny. He puts out that

52
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: video of Christiano Ronaldo saying you're done right, and he's

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: like and two hours later he's back. I mean, he

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: knew damn well what he was doing. I think he retired.

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: And this is a take that Sims and I have

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of come up with after talking about it way

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: too often over the past few months. The retirement wasn't

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: something that he was forced into. His dad says, well,

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, ESPN reported he's retiring, so he had to retire, Like, like,

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: that's going to be a real factor in your life,

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: decision to retire. I think he actively explored whether or

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: not he could pull off a move to another team.

63
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were looking at Sean Payton and Tom Brady together.

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: That's not happening. If Tom Brady isn't at least interested

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: in the possibility of partnering up with Sean Payton, those

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: thoughts aren't being had and entertained and acted upon by

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, who admit that they called the Saints to

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: inquire about the availability of Sean Payton, and we're told

69
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: don't even waste your time by former Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland,

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: who's now the assistant GM in New Orleans. So I

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: think part of that forty days is there another place

72
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: that can continue my career. And one of the benefits

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: of being Tom Brady is you never have to order

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: the code read, you never have to dirty your hands

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: with gee. I'd really like to come back, but I'm

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: not happy with the coaching situation. That's something that happens

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: three levels down, gets communicated three levels down from ownership

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: of the Buccaneers, and it works its way up and

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: people you know Jason light said yesterday and Rich Eyes

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: and show Tom never made a demand. Of course he

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: didn't make a demand. If you're Tom Brady, you don't

82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: have to make a demand. It's one of the benefits

83
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: of being Tom Brady. Is it you're feeling or is

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: it reporting? Well, I think it's a combination of both,

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of where we are in

86
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: today's world. When you're plugged into the matrix twenty four

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: hours a day like I am, and you've been doing

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: it for twenty years, you get an idea of what's

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: really going on. For example, when Pete Carroll tells the

90
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: world we have no intention to trade Russell Wilson, my

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: first reaction was, there's the for sales on folks. They're

92
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 1: willing to trade him, and at all these Seahawks fans

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: and Seahawks media, you're crazy, you're nuts, you're high, you're whatever.

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: And then what happened a week later they have a

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: deal to trade him to the Denver Broncos. So you

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: develop a sense of what the patterns are, what the

97
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: trends are, what the truth is, and what the bs is.

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: And this one is so weird in comparison to everything

99
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: else we've seen in the last twenty years, or the

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: last forty years or the last fifty years. There's got

101
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: to be smoke there and where there's smoke, as we

102
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: often know, there's fire. I had some Seattle fans who

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: blamed me for Russell Wilson getting traded because I had

104
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: him on and he did that interview where he kind

105
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: of aired his laundry, and I went, all I did

106
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: is ask a question. Normally Russ doesn't give you anything

107
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: of great detail, and he gave me a whole lot there,

108
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: and then I followed up. And that's why I said,

109
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: all along, I thought we were going to have something

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: similar to what we had with the Rams and the Lions,

111
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: where Matthew Stafford and the Lions would mutually agree what's

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: best for both is to divorce. And that's exactly what

113
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: happened in that situation. We're talking to Mike Florio. The

114
00:05:53,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: book is Playmakers, available online wherever books are sold. So Brady,

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: that's what he wants. I guess with Todd Bowles, the

116
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: only thing that I'll leave you with this one item.

117
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Does Bruce arians have the autonomy to pick his successor?

118
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's what was surprising that it feels like

119
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: ownership would say we kind of want to know, you know,

120
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: what our plan is down the road. Bruce said, Hey,

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to have Todd Bowles, and I'm all for

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles getting another chance. I just didn't know that

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Bruce would have that say, that power to name his successor. Well, look,

124
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: if what we're being told is true, and obviously I

125
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: have my doubts. Bruce arians put ownership in a very

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: tough spot by walking away when he did. Because if

127
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: I own a football team, I would at least like

128
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: to know as soon as possible after the season ends,

129
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be looking for a coach because

130
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: because I would at least like to have the opportunity

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: to cast a wider net and consider my options. Maybe

132
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: I'd come back to Todd balls at the end of

133
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: the day, but I'd at least like to have the

134
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: chance to try. What else are you going to do?

135
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: If you're the Buccaneers and your head coach leaves on

136
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: March thirty, you're gonna start a search? Then you can't

137
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: under the rules, no team is required to let you

138
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: talk to any of their assistants under contract because March

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: one is when that window closes. That's why the Rooney

140
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: rule doesn't apply. That's a loophole by the way that

141
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna close because I as soon as

142
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I as soon as I saw that the Rooney rule

143
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: doesn't apply to any vacancies after March one, I thought,

144
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: oh boy, Jerry Jones is gonna fire Mike McCarthy after

145
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: March one and hire Sean Payton or elevate Dan Quinn.

146
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Now that Jerry Jones knows this exists, because it's the

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: first time it's ever happened, he's gonna use it and

148
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna close that loophole before he can. All right,

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: before I let you go. The Baker Mayfield story seems

150
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: pretty quiet. Is it going to stay that way for

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: until the draft or after the draft? I think both

152
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: of these teams that are looking to trade veteran quarterbacks

153
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: with significant salaries, the forty nine ers with Jimmy Garoppolo

154
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: and the Browns with Baker Mayfield, I think they want

155
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: to wait at this point to see what happens with

156
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: the draft. That there's gonna be maybe a team that

157
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: is targeting a quarterback round one or two. If they

158
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: don't get him, then maybe a trade market emerges at

159
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: some point, though it gets very awkward because you can't

160
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: lock the guy out at the facility. If he wants

161
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: to show up, and if I'm Baker Mayfield, deal with me.

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go sit in the corner. You gotta

163
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: deal with me, or you gotta cut me. These Even

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: though these guys don't have no trade clauses, you have

165
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of power when you're a starting quarterback. If

166
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: a team is going to trade for you and you

167
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: don't want to go there, good luck getting that team

168
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: to give up any significant assets for that contract. That

169
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: could be a mess for any team that tries to

170
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: trade for Garoppolo or Mayfield. Mayfield's got a ton of

171
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: power also because his salary is fully guaranteed. He's getting

172
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: eighteen point eight million this year no matter what. So

173
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: it's a mess for the Browns and for the forty

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: nine ers. It's gonna be one of the fun storylines

175
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on as the offseason continues. Also

176
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: with the Rams with Bobby Wagner, I was just thinking

177
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: of that they keep kicking the salary cap down the

178
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: road signing these guys that you know they don't need

179
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: draft picks here, but Bobby Wagner's signing, I thought it

180
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: was a great pickup. I don't know costwise, if it is,

181
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: but this plan, the Rams keep buying into it. Your

182
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on Wagner, Well, two things. Five years fifty million.

183
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times do we have to hear

184
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: the big number and then see the real numbers and

185
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: see the details and understand what the deal really is

186
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: before we become skeptical with the big number. I'm skeptical

187
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: of five years fifty million, but five years spreads it

188
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: out more into the cap. And here's the thing to

189
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: remember about the cap dollars. It goes up every year.

190
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: So a million dollars in cap space this year means

191
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: a lot more to a team than a million dollars

192
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: in cap space next year, because the CAP's gonna be hired.

193
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: It's a smaller percentage. That's why teams kick it forward.

194
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Because the CAP's gonna keep going up and dan with

195
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: the gambling money, with the TV contracts, caps gonna be

196
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: three hundred million before we know it. So that's why

197
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: these teams do it. And if you're the Rams, and hey,

198
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald on the line, Bobby Wagner linebacker, Jailer Ramsey

199
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: at corner, we're sleeping on the Rams. So much talk

200
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: last year about the Buccaneers were heating. Why aren't we

201
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: talking about the Rams? Repeating all the talents left the NFC.

202
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: The Packers are down, the Bucks are still going through

203
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: a coaching change. We take for granted how good Bruce

204
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Arians is on game day. They could beat down a

205
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: little bit. And here are the Rams. They're right where

206
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: they left off, and I think we need to be

207
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: thinking about them as a team that gets back to

208
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and maybe wins it again. I'll tell

209
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians you said alone, Please do Thank you, Mike,

210
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. The book is Playmakers. It's a

211
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: great book How the NFL really works and doesn't available

212
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: online wherever books are still update the poll results, they're

213
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Seaton if you can. From the first hour, Dan, we

214
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: went with who had a better week? Okay, and right

00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: the Peacock Act. Randy Johnson, the Big Unit. I'm looking

224
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: at his numbers. He might be underrated. You don't think

225
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: of that, but I remember when he was with the

226
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: Montreal expos and I thought he was Nucluluche before Nucleuluche.

227
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: He was seven and thirteen his first year, and you

228
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: weren't sure if he was going to throw it to

229
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: the backstop, hit somebody, or strike somebody out, or all

230
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: the above, and then all of a sudden he found magic.

231
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: It's almost like Sandy Koufax did too, because Kofax, I

232
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: think that had a hard time with control and then

233
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden found it and then never looked back.

234
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: But the Big Unit will join us coming up. I

235
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: didn't realize he had won five cy Young Awards, I

236
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: think four in a row. But he and he pitched

237
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: to his forty five. Yeah point Dan. He was a

238
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: top five in the cy Young in his twenties and

239
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: in his forties. His first year the Pros, though, he

240
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: had seven while pitches seven bocks, hit seven guys. He

241
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: struck out one hundred and thirty and walked one hundred

242
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: and could you imagine being a left hander going to

243
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: the plate against him back then? Rex Chapman turners sports

Speaker 1: New episodes will stream every Monday. Did you get recruited

247
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: by coach k at Duke? No, they knew I couldn't

248
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: get in. How did they know that? They probably just

249
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: saw me do an interview? Did North Carolina? Yeah? I

250
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: visited Carolina. I loved Carolina growing up. I visited Carolina, Kentucky, Louisville, Georgia,

251
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Tack another place I couldn't get in as a favor

252
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: to Craig Neil who played on the team then. But no,

253
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I loved Carolina. Dean was the guy. I was just

254
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: talking about this to some buddies the other day when

255
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: I was growing up, and maybe when you're Dean Smith

256
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: was the guy like he was and two like to

257
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: my son who's twenty nine, Coach k is the guy. Um,

258
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't believe he's retiring. I kind

259
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: of hate it. But do you remember did you go

260
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: to North Carolina and you were in Dean Smith's office. Yes, sir,

261
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: I was. I was. I remember Roy Young Roy Williams

262
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: was the main recruiter h He had just gotten into coaching,

263
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: and he and Dean flew to Owensboro, Kentucky U to

264
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: pick me up. I flew back with them to Carolina.

265
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: They had Jeff Lebo, Brad Daugherty, Um, Joe Wolf, Kenny Smith.

266
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: They had a really nice squad. I had a great visit.

267
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: Um just probably he wasn't going to leave the state.

268
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: But do you look back and go would it have

269
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: been better for me to leave the state instead of

270
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: staying in house where you were a legend in the

271
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: state at Kentucky and the pressure was probably pretty immense

272
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: that maybe if you'd gone to Carolina, would it have

273
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: changed things for you? I don't know. I have no idea.

274
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I do know this that given what I've gone through,

275
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'd have gone somewhere else that

276
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: that place would have welcomed me back with open arms

277
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: like Kentucky did, and the state and the university after

278
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: some of my issues. So I don't really second guess

279
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: that Kentucky's an amazing school. It's been great to me.

280
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: I love the people there. I don't know about the

281
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Woodas and Kulda's Louisville. Louisville was really my only other

282
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: school that I truly considered, and I grew up loving

283
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Darryl Griffith, Denny Crown, that whole thing, Doctor Duncan, Doctor Duncanstein.

284
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean that that team. Who was it Bobby Turner

285
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: was he know? I well, you know what they had,

286
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: h doctor Duncinstein. They had the McCray brothers, Rodney and Scooter,

287
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Poncho Wright, Wiley Brown had had the thumb misses stuff

288
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: missing thumb. Yeah, yeah, what a what a team and

289
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: they got up and down the court. They were also

290
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: proximity wise, Louisville was about only about an hour and

291
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: a half from Owensboro, where I grew up. Where Kentucky

292
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: is about two and a half away. How did North

293
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Carolina get here? Wow? Uh, you know it's interesting. I

294
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, I did some of the tournament stuff for

295
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: for TNT. How was that experience? By the way, that

296
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was fantastic. Yeah, you know, the beast working,

297
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: so it was great. Um. But I saw Duke play

298
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: the first game of the season against Kentucky in New

299
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: York in the Garden, and Duke was so much bigger

300
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: that I thought this team, this team has to be

301
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: in the final four. At some point, I completely forgot

302
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: about all of that once I started looking at the brackets.

303
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: That being said, I think Carolina is here because they're big.

304
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: They are huge, They've got a big team. This matchup

305
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: is crazy, you know, I can't imagine. I can't believe

306
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: this is the first time these two programs have met

307
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: in the tournament. But what a beautiful matchup. I love

308
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: Roy Williams, I love Hubert Davis. If nothing would make

309
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: me any happier to see Hubert Davis win it his

310
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: first year out. I'm rooting for coach k though, I

311
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: really am. Hasn't he earned enough, got enough? No? I mean,

312
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't he share? He is Johnny Dawkins and those guys

313
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: will him to one of his first final fours. This

314
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: team is willing him now to this final four. And

315
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: that if you'd have told me we talked about Dean

316
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: Smith a little while ago, you had you know, That's

317
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: how kind of I learned to watch basketball, was watching him.

318
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: Coach Kay came in when that era of basketball was

319
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: still going on and look at how he's adapted. He's

320
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: not only adapted to you know the landscape of college

321
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: basketball with the one and done and all that. But

322
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: I remember a few years ago Jabari Parker playing for Duke,

323
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: just came down and launched one. No passes, just launched one.

324
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, in my mind, he's coming right out.

325
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: Kay's jerking him out. Nope, let him keep playing. So

326
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: there's some things you just have to let go now.

327
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: And he's done that. Yeah, I want we're talking to

328
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: Rex Chapman. I'm watching a lot. There's a lot of

329
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: bad shooters in college basketball. Rex, I was built for

330
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: this this era bad. I invented bad shots. You might

331
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: have been better now, might have been don't have to

332
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: play defense at all? Come on, No, But I'm watching this,

333
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: and you know I'd like Villanova. You know, Jay Wright

334
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: is a wonderful coach. Bill self has done it again

335
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: with a team that probably doesn't have a legitimate star. There.

336
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: We're investing more in the coaches probably than we ever

337
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: have now. Hubert Davis is the outlier, but still he

338
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: has the pedigree and that franchise does. Is that what

339
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: college basketball is? I liken it too. You're either eighteen

340
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: years of age or you're twenty three years of age.

341
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: It's either you're one and done or you're a fifth

342
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: year senior. Yeah, I think we all have to get

343
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: used to changing our lens of college basketball and what

344
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: that means. Players are getting paid now, just get used

345
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: to it. They're professional players or semi pro players. I

346
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: got no problem with the coaches making money. I do

347
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: have a problem with you know, now we see the

348
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: transfer portal, and I know people are upset about it,

349
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: but come on, this is a system you guys have

350
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: in place now guys can basically, guys who want to

351
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: be traded can get traded. Well, the coaches have been

352
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: then the transfer portal forever, and that's my point. I'm

353
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: fine with the coaches making the money, but they may

354
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: need to sit out for a year. If they go

355
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: just up and break their contract and go somewhere else,

356
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: that's not right, especially when the players couldn't do that.

357
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: That's definitely not right. It's never been right. Tell us

358
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: about the new show on CNN, Well, apparently they found

359
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: something to do with me. Dan. I know you and

360
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: I talked months ago and you said, nobody knows what

361
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: to do with you. That is true. I talked to

362
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: Rex and his agent and we're like, what do we

363
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: do with Rex? I go, I don't know. I don't know.

364
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't want that pressure to try to do something

365
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: with you, you know. And I got some really good

366
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: ice from you, from Rich Eyes and from some people

367
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: who know some things in the business. And you know,

368
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: the main thing was Rex, don't let them do anything

369
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: too televisiony. You know, you're I'm not a host. I

370
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: can't do what you do. I'm not a play by

371
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: play guy. That's a whole different set of skills. So

372
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: really my show is just me sitting down and talking

373
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: with people. I can tell you a few of the

374
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: people that we had on our first episode on Monday.

375
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: If it'll be Jason Sadakis. I went over to London

376
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: and interviewed him. We had a great time, just sat

377
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: at their little their bar that they go to in

378
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: the show and for an hour and just had a

379
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: terrific conversation. I've interviewed Ben Stiller. That'll come up on

380
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: another one. Kevin Love. Terrific conversation with Kevin Love, who

381
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: I had never really we had never met each other,

382
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: and we talked a lot about mental health. So I'm excited.

383
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: I don't like anything that I do, whether it was

384
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: basketball or this or anything. I hate watching myself. They

385
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: forced me to watch some of It's not bad. They

386
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: made you look good. They made me looking at what

387
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: they can do with editing and post post production. Amazing.

388
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: What a team of people. People that Jason is a

389
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: college basketball Did you talk about his college basketball career? Yes,

390
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: and it's fantastic, you know, because I don't want to

391
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: give too much away, but I tell people that, like

392
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: with Alan Iverson. Alan, if you go up to Alan,

393
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: tell him you love him as a basketball player. He said, Well,

394
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: he'll say, well, I'm a football player. You should have

395
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: seen me play football. In Jason's mind, he's a basketball player. Uh.

396
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: You know on his SNL, you know, beginning of his

397
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: SNL career. You know, he's out on the playground here

398
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: in New York shooting hoops. He played seriously, took it seriously,

399
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: did drills, the meribitch drills, all of that stuff. Decent

400
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: high school player, went to play in college. That's what

401
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: he wanted to do. So we get into that a

402
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of other good stuff, and I'm just excited about it. Uh.

403
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: Social media roughed you up with the Pete Gillen Rest

404
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: in Peace. I'm thrilled. Pete is a lot. I am too.

00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: do this to me. He can be. No, No, he

408
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: could be, but I'm watching. I'm going I think he

409
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: just said Pete Gillen was dead. And then I thought

410
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe you had godsham god dead, and I thought, what,

411
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,960

425
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: do you react when you're the subject of Twitter. Twitter's

426
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: not real. Twitter's not real life. Man. I've people come

427
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: at me on Twitter all the time. Nobody does it

428
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: in person. I see people out in the street all

429
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the time. Nobody says a damn thing. Twitter is just

430
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: a Twitter is just kind of fun. You can't take

431
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: it too seriously. It's not real. I saw somebody made

432
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: a comment about you looking like Scott van Pelt, but

433
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: I have the look is he took it from me? Well,

434
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: he took it from me. They said you look like

435
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: Scott van Pelt. If Scott van Pelt owned a chocolate factory.

436
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: So good, it's so good. What's funny about that, too,

437
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: is Scott and I. Scott and I get stopped. I

438
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,280

Speaker 1: stp Sometimes I'm like no. Sometimes I'm like yeah, and

440
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: I'll sign Scott van Pelt let him go on their way.

Speaker 1: your podcast from. We'll get to Randy Johnson here in

466
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: a moment. Last week we had Dave robertson Dodgers manager,

467
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: and somehow we ended up with a conversation and a

468
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: story about when Dave Roberts went to the plate and

469
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: actually tried to bunt on Randy Johnson. Here's the Dodgers manager.

470
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: I didn't get the chance to hit the homer off

471
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Randy because he drove me in the ribs anyway, So yeah,

472
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: so I got the repercussion of getting hit by Randy.

473
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: I guess I could have had him signed that ball.

474
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: What did it feel like? I still feel it. It

475
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: was ninety seven two seamer and it was opening day

476
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: maybe two thousand and three. I tried a bunt and

477
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: then the ball went soul and one Pierre always told

478
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: me said, hey, man, if you try to bunt off Randy,

479
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: he's like the Nolan Ryan guy, where if you bunt,

480
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: you better make it fair because if you don't, the

481
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: next one's going to be near ribbs. And I swear

482
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: Danny it was like he's up there with this big

483
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: black glove right under his eyes, and you got that visual,

484
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: and I think it was. I swear it was like

485
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: the top gun radar lock right on my ribs and

486
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: I could just sent it and then it was a

487
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: heat See ninety seven two steamer just running right into

488
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: my rib that's Dave Roberts, the Dodger manager, Randy Johnson,

489
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: the big unit joining us on the program. Why was

490
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: it offensive if somebody tried to bunt on you. I'm

491
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: not aware of that at all, Dan, because isn't that

492
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: the ultimate compliment to you, Randy. I can't hit you.

493
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I might be able to bunt to get on but

494
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: you and Nolan Ryan took it personally. Yeah, I'm not

495
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: really sure. I'm not sure of you know, Nolan's reasons.

496
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: And you know, there was a lot of people that

497
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: buntered off me, and maybe that was, you know, they

498
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: were doing the best that they could do to use

499
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: their A bill I did to get on base. I

500
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: guess I just I didn't see it anyway other than

501
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, I was just gonna make it tough for

502
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: you to get on basse, regarless of whether you were

503
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: swinging the batter button. Do you remember hitting Dave Roberts.

504
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't, but but I'm sure your engineers could probably

505
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: look up how many batters I hit, and I and

506
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's a legit question. I think there's

507
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm close to being at the top of hit batters

508
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Well, you did pitch to your

509
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: forty five, so you're gonna hit a few. How many?

510
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: How many did unit hit? Polly? He had one hundred

511
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: and ninety, but he really peaked in ninety two ninety

512
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: three when he led the league and hit batsman. There

513
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: you go. Did you ever feel sorry for somebody? You

514
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: hit my mom? Yeah, a father's son, a mother's son.

515
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: Game you you plunk your mom whiffleball in the back

516
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: yard one summer. It was it was a couple of

517
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Actually, and your mom's six ten as well,

518
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: so and she's ninety four. What could you give me?

519
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna you're gonna be what fifty nine coming

520
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: up here? Fifty nine? I think fifty nine? And uh,

521
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: I think before we continue any further, I should uh

522
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: talk about the disclosure of anything I say does not

523
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: represent my employer, family or friends. And uh because because

524
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: today's April first. Okay, with that being said, let's continue now. Okay,

525
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: if you if you got six weeks to get ready,

526
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: what would you what? What do you think you could throw?

527
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: What would be your top end? Uh? Well, Dan, I've

528
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: had three back surgeries, five knee surgeries, and my last

529
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: year I retired when I was forty six, actually not

530
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: forty five. Uh and with San Francisco and I actually

531
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: tore my a rotator cuff and I never had surgery.

532
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: I just kind of let it scar over, if you will.

533
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: So I'm not really sure how effective I would be

534
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: or how scary I would be out there. I might

535
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: be a little bit vulnerable, not being able to throw

536
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: ninety five to one hundred. What is the motivation to

537
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: play into your forties? You know, we look at Tom Brady,

538
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: some other athletes, Nolan Ryan I think was forty five.

539
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: But do you remember your financially set, your legacy is set.

540
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: What is it that keeps you going? Because at that

541
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: point in my career, I was having more fun than

542
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: I had ever had. The expectations weren't quite as great

543
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: as they once were at the peak of my career,

544
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: and now I was more of a mentor if you

545
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: were when I was with San Francisco, Barry Zito, Tim Lends, come,

546
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: Matt Caine, Sanchez. That's why they had me come to

547
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco so I could be more of a mentor.

548
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: And going out there and with the wind at my

549
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: back at at and T Park, throwing ninety one on

550
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: a good day was great. And you know, I was

551
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: pitching to more contact back then and would try to

552
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: get a double play, and for me back then, that

553
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: was success. And I just loved the game. And uh,

554
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, I might have even tried to play another

555
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: year had I not tore my rotator cuff. But you

556
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: look at your style in today's game, where it's basically

557
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: you throw it hard and I swing really hard. Would

558
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 1: how would your career be different with today's philosophy with

559
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: hitting and pitching. If I was in my prime playing

560
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: today's game, with the way the game's being played today,

561
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: i'd have four hundred strikeouts in a season. In a season, well, yeah,

562
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean I came close a couple of years in

563
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: the years that I played back then, and people were

564
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: swinging hard back then. But now I think analytics has

565
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: really taken over and and and in some ways it's

566
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: it's a very important part of the game. But I

567
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: don't think it's really important to know what the extra

568
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: velocity was. Uh. I know when I'm sixty feet six

569
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: inches away from the hitter and I give up a

570
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: home run, I know by the crack of the bat

571
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: and the velocity the ball is going over my head.

572
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: Nine out of ten times, I know when it's a

573
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: home run. I don't need to know. You know what

574
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: the extra velocity was? One hundred and twenty five miles.

575
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: What was that sound like when you know that you've

576
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: given up a home run? The face on the baseball,

577
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: you know those old cartoons that you used to see,

578
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: When the face on the baseball's going by you screaming,

579
00:32:53,800 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: it's like warped. It's like, yeah, exactly. Yeah. And there

580
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: was a few of those hormones that I gave up

581
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: that were like the well mcguires, that was a bomb.

582
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, do you even turn around when you give

583
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: up that home run? I don't even remember. No. We

584
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: were we were teammates at USC and it was in

585
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: the Kingdome, and uh, I actually I actually struck out

586
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: nineteen in that game. I struck out nineteen in that game,

587
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: and uh, and I was remember and we lost the game,

588
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 1: and he hit that prolific home run. And when he

589
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: rounded the bases and he got into the old Kingdome

590
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: they're up in Seattle. He sat in the doorway right

591
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: between the benches and I kind of saw him and

592
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: I just gave him a tip of the hat and

593
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: he gave me one back. And you know, that was

594
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: a friendship that we had being old teammates from college. Yeah,

595
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: that's just I got it. I'm gonna throw it. You

596
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: swing if you hit it, good for you. Yet I

597
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,239
Speaker 1: knew the exit velocity was pretty good. Your name came

598
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: up yesterday we had Barkeley on and Barkley we thought

599
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: was going to welcome us to his home during Super

600
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: Bowl Week in Arizona, and then we find out we're

601
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: only there for a morning. We don't get to go

602
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: in the house, and I go, damn, I should reach

603
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: out to Randy Johnson. You know you would be more

604
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: hospitable than Barkley. This is exactly what I heard, Dan,

605
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: This is what I heard in this and I'm so

606
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: glad that we've connected because I do want to be

607
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: a host. In fact, have a cigar from the White House, exactly,

608
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: a humid or from the White House. Wow, look at this,

609
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,440

Speaker 1: the Peacock Act. I've just wondered about this with the

658
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: Greek Freak, Steph Curry, the Joke or in Joe LMB,

659
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: those guys are all slow burns. Nobody made an All

660
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: Star Game first four years of their career, Yannis, Steph

661
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: the Joker, and Joe LMB. I think their fourth year

662
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: is when they all made their All Star appearances. Steph

663
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: was his fifth year. He made his All Star appearance there. Yeah,

664
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: I got Steph's first few years. He was averaging seventeen eighteen.

665
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: Remember then he had that ankle injury in year three

666
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Yeah, he was down to fourteen point seven

667
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: points and then he just kind of slowly took off Yeah,

668
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: they weren't sure if they were going to resign him.

669
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: They didn't know if it was something that was going

670
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: to be that ankle was going to be kind of

671
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: reoccurring there for him. But Jannis goes for forty four.

672
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: He's now the all time leading scorer for the Milwaukee Bucks.

673
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: Alex and Dallas joins us, and we'll get to Bubba Watson. Hi, Alex, Hey,

710
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: a big deal. He wasn't wearing a golf shirt. Yeah,

711
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: I must have been cold there. How did you get

712
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: involved with Link Soul Link Soul. I've known John Ashworth

713
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. Obviously, he's a creative mind, a

714
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: great man that loves the game of golf, wants to

715
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: grow the game of golf, loves to give back, and

716
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: so over the years, over the many years that I've

717
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: known him and got to know him even more, the

718
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: timing was right. I wanted to partnership with a company

719
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: that I could be invested in, that I could have

720
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of influence, but also have you know,

721
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: let let the company influence me and the charity dollars

722
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: they've raised over different T shirts and different things. It's

723
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: exciting to be a part of and I feel like

724
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm part of the family. But it's so laid back.

725
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: It's just easy going. It's lifestyle clothing and golfing and surfing,

726
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: any sport that you can think of. That's really what

727
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: it's about and just enjoying life. So it was an

728
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: easy fit for me. When you go to Augusta later today,

729
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: do you have like your routine to prepare for the

730
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: first round of the Masters? Does that start later today

731
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: that this is the normal progression that you're going to

732
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: have to get ready for round one? Yes, for sure.

733
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: I show up. I get to Augusta early. I show

734
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: up and now with the women's amateur with the drive

735
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: chipping putt, and then me and my wife play. We

736
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: have a grudge match condo Lisa Rice and Lee Sa Leicestinger,

737
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: two members of Augusta. So it's boys against girls, and

738
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: so we have a grudge match on Sunday afternoon. After

739
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: the drive chipping putt, we go out and play past

740
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: champions can bring a guest. My wife is obviously my guest.

741
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: When did you find out the possibility that Tiger would

742
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: be playing? Um? Gosh I saw I saw social media

743
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: started talking about Tiger being at Augusta, and I guess Tiger.

744
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: A week ago somebody announced that his name was in

745
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: the field. Um. I figured he would be at Augusta

746
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: for the champions dinner no matter what. Um, but obviously

747
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: for the game of golf high exciting. I mean, the

748
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 1: buzz around the Masters is already high, but now having

749
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: Tiger name on the field list, it's even higher. It's

750
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: crazy that he could be playing in this bubba. As

751
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: I've said to my audience many times, just walking that course,

752
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: it's it's a whole lot hilier than people think. My dad,

753
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: my dad went for his only time my dad went

754
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: was in two thousand and eight, and um, he couldn't

755
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: walk the course. He didn't know he had rheumatos ritis

756
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: and he had no idea that how heally it was

757
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: because on TV you can't really see it, and so

758
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: he's set on one. He watched, he watched a one

759
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: T shot, number nine, number ten T shot in eighteen

760
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: because they're all right there. And so that's what he did.

761
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Waited for me for five hours for me to hit

762
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: all those spots. Do you remember the first time you

763
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: played with Tiger? Oh? First time I played with Tiger? Yes,

764
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: it was I remember correctly. It was a practice round

765
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: OZ seven. We were at San Diego, and I knew

766
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: the only chance I could play with him is wake

767
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: up real early and show up and hopefully he shows

768
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: up at the same time, and I actually got out

769
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: in front of him. And then he came over the

770
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: North Course and in San Diego, the Tory Ponds, he

771
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: came over. He was on number nine. I was on

772
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: number ten, and he came over and said, can I

773
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: join you? And the reason why he and the reason

774
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: why he said that is is because I sent him

775
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: a Christmas president Oh six Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle made

776
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: a skit where they made fun of Tiger and he said, uh,

777
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: for Shizzle, I've always wanted to say that, And so

778
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: I sent Tiger a shirt. Not knowing him, I sent

779
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: him a shirt that said for Shizzlum for Christmas. And

780
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: he so that's why when he saw me, he was like,

781
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. So he went over there and we

782
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: became friends every since. You know, he's he's loved me

783
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: every since. That was the racial draft on the Chappelle Show,

784
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah? And then I mean I know so

785
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: much about it because he puts the glove on the

786
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: wrong hand. But they're like for a left hander, I mean,

787
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: it's just the red shirt. Yeah, Is Augustus set up

788
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: for a left hander to succeed more than a right hander,

789
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. Jack Nicholas did pretty good around there,

790
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: Yes he did. He did well everywhere, Bubba. He did

791
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: six wins, yes for sure. Tiger has what five? Yeah,

792
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: Jack had six, So us US lefties haven't gotten to

793
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: that level yet. But I think Phil has three. Um

794
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: I have two, Mike weir So. I mean, if you're

795
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: playing good golf, it really doesn't matter left your righty.

796
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: But obviously history proves that rights are doing better. Yeah,

797
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: but there's more right handed golfers, bubbas So if I know,

798
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to say that. I didn't want

799
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: to say that. I would just trying to. I've trying

800
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: to put pressure on all the rightis this year, trying

801
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: to do Okay, if I gave you one club to

802
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: play the Masters, let's just play. You're going to play Augusta,

803
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: not the Masters. I gave you one club and that's

804
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: all you had, what would you use? Always a seven iron? Always,

805
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: no matter what the course is, it's a seven iron

806
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: all day. So if I said you only use a

807
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: seven iron, what do you think you shoot? Not Augusta

808
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: tournament teas pretty long. I mean I would have to

809
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: say I'd break eighty five the green speeds are up

810
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: to tournament speeds. Um, yeah, it'd be eighty five, would

811
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: be would be really good. What are the benefits aside

812
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: from being a former Master's Champ? You get to play

813
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: every year, You get to go there and play. What

814
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 1: are some of the other benefits of being a Master's Champ?

00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: You get free dinner on Tuesday night at Champions Dinner. Okay, okay, um,

816
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: you know we um, you know, being able to show up,

817
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: being able to take some friends, um throughout the year.

818
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: Can you stay on the course during the Masters? Um?

819
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,839

820
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: the Masters, Um, I promise you. There's probably some legends

821
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: of the game that stayed on site during the Masters.

822
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a legend of the game, so I have

823
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: not stayed. I'd like to know those stories about the

824
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: legends of the game who stayed on course because they

825
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:56,319

00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: Um um, yeah, so you get to play, you get

831

841
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: of golf, just like the membership is trying to do.

842
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: You know, I took a divot one time when I

843
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: played there. I brought it home with me. That's bad,

844
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: isn't it? No? Because there's a lot of people would

845
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: love to do that. Yeah, I I no, But my

846

Speaker 1: yard and try to grow? I said, I didn't know

848
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: if I put it under a grow lamp or something,

849
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: but I haven't. People tried to steal the sand out

850
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: of Augusta or I don't know, like little little vials

851
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: that they take with them or something like, I don't

852
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: want to get in trouble. I don't know if I'll

00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: Links Seoul has a T shirt and it's really to

867
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: honor embody the spirit that was Lee Elder nineteen seventy five.

868
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: He broke the color barrier at Augusta and provided a

869
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: vision of what golf would be. Passed away in twenty

870
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty one, but his wife Sharon faces serious health crisis

871
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: of her own and she's embattled with Alzheimer's. So there's

872
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: mounting medical bills, rising healthcare cost and no meaningful income

873
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: to assist, and Links Seoul decided to come up with

874
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: a thank You Mister Elder charity, a T shirt to

875
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: commemorate Lee's accomplishments and it just says it says nineteen

876
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: seventy five on the back of it. One of the

880
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: sustain the Lee Elder Memorial Fund. He's one of the

881
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: nicest people I ever met, not just athletes, one of

882
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: the nicest people. Well. I met him at a Hoodie

883
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: and the Bullfish Monday after the Master's tournament, and he

884
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: just you know, people were there, but I don't think

885
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: they realized that Lee Elder and what he meant to

886
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: the game of golf breaking the color barrier at a

887
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: ghost in nineteen seventy five. But go to link soul

888
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: dot com. Yes, Polly, First of all, it's a gorgeous shirt.

889
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: It's got this cool seventies vibe. Yeah, all right, I

890
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,280
Speaker 1: have a five minute poll question off Bubba Watson's appearance.

891
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: You could have one accomplishment in your life and you

892
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: don't do much else. Like let's say you're a good

893
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: golfer who muddles around the tour for a long time

894
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: or so, you could be a Master's Champion, or be

895
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy winner, a Heisman Trophy winner that does

896
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: not play in the NFL, or has a brief career

897
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL, like a Eric Crouch. Eric Crouch had

898
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee with the rams but didn't sticky.

899
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: Or you could be trying to get Patrick Reed's probably

900
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: too good of a golfer, but he's got a Master's

901
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: How about Trevor Immelman Trevor Imllman two thousand and eight

902
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: Master's Champion. Would I'd rather be Eric Crouch, legend in Nebraska,

903
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner or Trevor Immelman who is a broadcaster

904
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: for NBC and when he's introduced on every broadcast former

905
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: Master's Champion Trevor Imlman, just like Eric Crouch when he

906
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: goes to speak, that's a toughie. I think I'd rather

907
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: be a Master's Champ because when you go back. You

908
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: get to play, You can play when you want. You

909
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: get to go to the dinners with everybody, even if

910
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: you've never won anything, and Trevor Immelman was on a

911
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: big winner on tour against Hunt. Other than the green jacket,

912
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: which you can keep, you can have that in your

913
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: closet a head of the work. You don't give it back.

914
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: How do you just leave it there? Do you get

915
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: an award or any kind of trophy or anything or

916
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: spars from a display standpoint, Yes, I think I think

917
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: your trophy is a model of the clubhouse there at

918
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: AUGUSTA beautiful trophy. But you have to leave your green

919
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: jacket there. I think the first year you get to

920
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: keep it and then you keep it there on the

921
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: grounds Yampo, and there's something to be said for it. Hey,

922
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: you want a Heisman? How is your NFL career? Um?

923
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: When you win the Masters, you don't have a lot

924
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: of explaining to do because you want it as a professional. Yeah,

925
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: where Eric Crouch wanted as a Cinamon and you got

926
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: a bit? What's that check? Two mil for a Master's

927
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: probably a million and a half, probably more than that.

928
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 1: Why don't know what it was? When Trevor Immelman won it,

929
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: but there's pretty good money attached to that. By the way,

930
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: it is a meat Friday, in case you're wondering. Smoked

931
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: pork chops, balsamic glaze, mashed red potatoes, honey glazed carrots,

932
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: and the recipe will be on dan patrick dot com

933
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: who has it better than we do. But no, no,

934
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: except for the Masters winner, who will get two point

935
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: one million dollars. In here, all right,
