Hey, And you know what's fun 176 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 6: is this year they're good and they God knows for 177 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 6: Oriole fans out there that endured those those years when 178 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 6: it was beyond grim and you know, Houston got their 179 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 6: payoffs after they were horrific, and I think Oriole fans 180 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 6: we're all fingers crossed it maybe you know, maybe this 181 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 6: is our summer or next, But I mean, I think 182 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 6: the good news is that we're in the week. The 183 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 6: Orioles are into this cushion, you know. There they were 184 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 6: a good baseball team. They're about five or six really 185 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 6: good ones, I think, and they're clearly one of them. 186 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 6: So that's that's fun too, I think, isn't it right? 187 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 5: Of course? Now, Scott, where did your intense love of 188 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 5: the game come from? 189 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 6: Memorial Stadium? I'm too too young for the Senators, too 190 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 6: old for the Nationals. It would have been more geographically 191 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 6: convenient to have been a NAT's fan had they existed 192 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 6: when I was little, but they didn't. So Memorial Stadium 193 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 6: was a doable drive for my dad and that started 194 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 6: taking me to games when I was a little kid, 195 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 6: and it was They were easy to root for, tim, 196 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 6: weren't they. I mean, you think of the Orioles of 197 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 6: the seventies, you know, they played it the Oriole way 198 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 6: and they were good and it was so much joy. 199 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 6: Three buck night and I told this story. I know 200 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 6: you know it, but for your your listeners, it might 201 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 6: not have heard it. The old pa announcer in Memorial 202 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 6: Stadium was a legendary guy named Rex Barney, and and 203 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 6: if a great catch was made in Memorial Stadium, Rex 204 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 6: would punctuate that catch by saying, give that fan a contract, 205 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 6: and everyone would be excited. Well, Brooks Robinson foul the 206 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 6: ball off, and my dad made a legitimately great catch. 207 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 6: Give that fan a contract. Dad catches the ball to 208 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 6: Brooks Robinson foul ball. I'm over joy. Come home, I 209 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 6: got a Brooks ball. Go to school the next day, 210 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 6: tell all my friends we got a Brooks Robinson foul ball. Naturally, 211 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 6: after school, what are we gonna do? We're gonna have 212 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 6: a catch with the Brooks Robinson fal ball. I got 213 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 6: to snap off a curve ball because I figured I 214 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 6: could throw one like Cake's palmer. Only I can't and 215 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 6: my buddy can't catch it. It rolls down the hill 216 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 6: into a sewer and it's gone and like gone gone, 217 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 6: and people say, why don't you just lift up the sewer. 218 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 6: It went into a sewer that fed the cust me 219 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 6: when I say the ball is gone, And I never 220 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 6: told my dad when he was alive, and at this 221 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 6: point in the story, every time I always say, Dad, 222 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 6: I'm sorry. But it gets better because I tell the 223 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 6: story at an event in Baldenbook where I'm speaking, and 224 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 6: it turns out that one of Brooks's sort of pr 225 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 6: folks is sitting at my table. A week later, a 226 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 6: box shows up at my house. This is a true 227 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 6: story in My Hand to God. A box shows up 228 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 6: at my house. It's rattling around, like, what is this. 229 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 6: I open it up. There's a piece of paper. I 230 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 6: hope this makes up for the one in the stewer. 231 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 6: I look at the ball Brooks Robins. I'm not an 232 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 6: autograph guy. I might have a two an autograph where 233 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 6: two in my life the ball I have signed by 234 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 6: Brooks Robinson, which connects me to Memorial Stadium, my dad, 235 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 6: my love of the Orioles from decades ago. Like it's 236 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 6: it's a true treasure that I have. And I mean, 237 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 6: I don't know what. I don't know how I can 238 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 6: encapsulate it better than that, because that's that's my youth 239 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 6: in one story. 240 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 5: Well right, all right. The great story about Brooks Robinson, 241 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 5: of course, is in New York they named a candy 242 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 5: bar after Red Jackson. Here in Baltimore, we name our 243 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 5: children after Brooks Robinson. And it's true. 244 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 6: So my last son was my last son was very 245 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 6: nearly Brooks. It wouldn't have necessarily been Brooks Robinson. It 246 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 6: was this close to being Brooks. Long story ended up 247 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 6: being the right name, but it was this close to 248 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,119 Speaker 6: being Brooks. And I'm sure that there was some subliminal 249 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 6: part of my youth that was wrapped up in that 250 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 6: I said when he passed away on social media, I said, 251 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 6: when I was a kid, I could never imagine anybody 252 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 6: being cooler than Brooks Robinson, and I still can't. You know, 253 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 6: just the eye, black, the gloves, the hat, the whole bit. Man. 254 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 6: I mean that dude was that to me. If you 255 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 6: asked me to name a mount Rushmore of Orioles, it'd 256 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 6: be hard. But if you said one, I think you 257 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 6: start with him, I really do. 258 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: We talked about that last week on the podcast. Dad 259 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,599 Speaker 1: challenged our listeners to just pick one, and SVP just said. 260 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 5: It's broke when you got Junior and Eddie Murray and 261 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 5: Frank Robinson and Jim Palmer, it's impossible. But I went 262 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: with Brooks. Also because he spent longer time there was great. 263 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 5: He was underrated offensively in the best defensive third basement 264 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 5: of all time. 265 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 6: Eddie m my guy Stamper Steve asked me recently, he said, 266 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 6: who's your favorite Oriole? I said, Eddie Murray And there 267 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 6: was just he his demeanor, the fear. I think he 268 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 6: struck into the proposition that chance, you know Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. 269 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 6: He was my favorite. But if you're starting in a 270 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 6: list of Orioles, look, if you say it, Tam and 271 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 6: I echo them, I feel like I'm more right because 272 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 6: you said it your opinion. It makes me feel like 273 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 6: I'm closer to being in the right lane. So I mean, look, 274 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 6: I get any of those names you just said, but 275 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 6: it's a lot of folks that would say number five. 276 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: We love Hello Fresh shout out to them.

I mean, 299 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 5: what was that experience like being around those fans? 300 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 6: I sat in Section thirty four Friday nights and the 301 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 6: nights that they were three games behind the Milwaukee Brewers, who, 302 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 6: by the way, kids used to be in the American 303 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 6: League East Oels trailed by three games with four to play. 304 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 6: I went there Friday night. I sat in Section thirty 305 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 6: four for game one. They had to win every game 306 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 6: for Sunday, no matter. They take game one of the 307 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 6: doubleheader night the second game, I swear Storm Davis picks. 308 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 6: By the time the game ends, I had worked my 309 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 6: way down to better speak. But we were in section 310 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 6: thirty four with while Bill Haagey's selling outri l e 311 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 6: S and by the nightcap, I was down the lower level. 312 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 6: Orioles won that one. They won game three on Saturday 313 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 6: to force the winner take golf Palmer versus Sutton, Robin 314 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 6: Yont hit two homers. This is I'm meandering here, but 315 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 6: Andy North, my dear friend I do golf with, has 316 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 6: a charity event and Robin yats there and every year 317 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 6: I would introduce all the dignitaries that were there there 318 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 6: and I'd say this guy that guy, and I would 319 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 6: say that son of a bitch running down. Use my language, 320 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 6: but that's the only way I knew how to introduce 321 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 6: the guy that hit two home runs in the one 322 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 6: hundred and sixty second game of the year to ruin 323 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 6: the Orioles. But I would sit in the upper deck 324 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 6: for a three buck night. And I used to love 325 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 6: to sit in the left field bleaches, right by the 326 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 6: foul pole, which if you remember the way that stadium 327 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 6: was built, it was all concrete right like it was 328 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 6: a huge wall and it was concrete just beneath that. And 329 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 6: I used to sit in the left field bleachers when 330 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 6: when I didn't sit in the upper deck, but I 331 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 6: mean I sat all every bit of that stadium. I 332 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 6: went over him. Remember the bullpen was in right field 333 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 6: for the opposition. I went and watched Nolan Ryan warm up, 334 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 6: and I was a little kid, and all all I 335 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: can remember is the sound the ball means he threw it. 336 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 6: And remember he would grunt. He would grunt, and then 337 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 6: you heard this thing go and then you heard a 338 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 6: pop that sounded like an explosion. I thought, my god, 339 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 6: whatever that guy is, there's nobody else like him. So 340 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 6: I'm just rambling. But you asked me what I did. 341 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 6: I went to Memorial Stadium, and you know, the memories 342 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 6: just come flooding out right. 343 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 5: So late eighties, Scott, I'm living in Columbia, Maryland. I'm 344 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 5: going to the airport. I'm working for Sports Illustrated. The 345 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 5: cab comes to pick me up, and the cab driver 346 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 5: is wild Bill Hagey. 347 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 2: It was Unner, Yes it was. 348 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 5: He gave me a ride to the BWI airport. And 349 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 5: I think I'm riding with a god here because he 350 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 5: used to spell out Orioles with his name. Wild Bill 351 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 5: Hagey was in my driveway and drove me to the airport. 352 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 5: How beautiful is that? 353 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 6: That's incredible. You should have told him if he had 354 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 6: to go to New York, he could have got the 355 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 6: Helps illustration. 356 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 5: So, Scott, you pitched at Sherwood. You know, we went 357 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 5: to Montgomery County schools. I went to Walter Johnson. I 358 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 5: got my Walter Johnson to sweatshirt on stuffed there. 359 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: Every week every week he has his Walter Johnson sweatshirt on. 360 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 4: Scott. 361 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: He is the proudest wildcat you've ever seen here. 362 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 5: Right, But Scott, you pitched to Sherwood. I know you're 363 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 5: pretty good, But tell me what that was like to 364 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 5: be as tall as you were a high school kid 365 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 5: throwing baseballs. 366 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 6: My nickname was was Fungo or I was six four, 367 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy, so they called me Fungo. Or 368 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 6: if it would have been in Baltimore. Ful games. Yeah, 369 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 6: and I did not like Surewood. In the years after 370 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 6: I left, which was one hundred years ago, they've become 371 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 6: a power, like a Montgomery County power. They won a 372 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: number of state titles in a row. When I was there, 373 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,239 Speaker 6: we were good, We made the we were a win 374 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 6: away from the from the final four. And I was pitching, 375 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 6: and I lost the wheaton I was. I was decent, 376 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 6: I wanted, I won. I won some games, but I 377 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 6: didn't throw hard. But what I could do is throw 378 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 6: strikes and throw curveballs for strikes. And in high school, 379 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 6: if you could throw strikes that change planes, you'll get 380 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 6: dudes out. And my only claim to fame as a 381 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 6: pitcher is that another Moco legend from Kennedy, Curtis Pride, 382 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 6: who of course made it to the major leagues, was 383 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 6: an incredible ass. He was a three sport athlete, might 384 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 6: have been better at soccer than anything. Went to William 385 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 6: and Mary on a college basketball scholarship and made it 386 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 6: to the major league. I struck Curtis out in a 387 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 6: game what I beat Kennedy, And so I told Curtis 388 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 6: how proud I was when he made the big because 389 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 6: I got to say I got to mix your leaguer 390 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 6: throwing like seventy three. But I was, you know, I 391 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 6: was like any decent picture. 392 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 5: You know. 393 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 6: It was part of my life. When I was probably 394 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 6: like eight, I was sure I was going to be 395 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 6: in the majors, and then pretty quickly you realize, Okay, 396 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 6: I'm a competent player. I love the game, but you 397 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 6: know my career will end when twelfth grade ends. And 398 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 6: it did. 399 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: SVP. 400 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: I have to ask you, you did an incredible interview 401 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: with Stuart Scott's Girls the other day on your show. 402 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 2: It was fantastic. 403 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: As a journalist, as a broadcaster, I look up to 404 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: you the way you interview people and the way you 405 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: do your show, how relaxed it is, how you deliver 406 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: your message, how you're able to be fun and then 407 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: serious within blink of an eye. 408 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 2: That was a powerful moment. 409 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: In ten years since his sb's speech, which was just incredible, 410 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: but it really got me thinking back to those days 411 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: of you and him doing those This Is Sports Center commercials. Specifically, 412 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: one of my favorites being when you guys are in 413 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: the warm up suits and you rip them off to 414 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: then sit down and do the show and you're just 415 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: wearing another suit underneath. Those commercials were iconic. Was there 416 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: one that you specifically remember filming that sticks out to 417 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: you because of something great that might have happened, or 418 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: a guest mascot or a guest athlete that was a 419 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: part of it. 420 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 6: I think the one that you bring up, the late 421 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 6: great Stewart Scott and thank you by the way, that 422 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 6: that was one of those things where I'd say this 423 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 6: to you and any journalists out there, don't don't be 424 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 6: afraid to allow your emotions to be what they are. 425 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 6: You know that I don't think you need to. I 426 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 6: literally thought about it during the day and I thought, 427 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 6: I hope, I hope I get through this without crying. 428 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 6: And then they they their faces were on the screens 429 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 6: as big as the wall, and they looked just like 430 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 6: their father, and I knew I had no chance, and 431 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 6: I thought, that's okay, I'm going to be emotional and 432 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 6: I'll make no apopagies for it then or now. But 433 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 6: I didn't add with their dad, my man, the late 434 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 6: great Stuart Scott, where all we did was stand and 435 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 6: watch Arnold Palmer make an Arnold Palmer and he's in 436 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 6: the cafeteria and he lemonade. I see a little lemonade, 437 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 6: little ice Sea, and we're off and he walks away. 438 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 6: All Stuart Scott and I do is at the end 439 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 6: just say that was awesome, and he goes, I know. 440 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 6: And we shot it, Jeff. We shot it over and 441 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 6: over and over, and I knew him because I had 442 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 6: worked with him. For him, I should say, it's a 443 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 6: golf channel. And at some point he says to me, 444 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 6: you know, I shot movies that didn't take this long. 445 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 6: And I said to our director, I said, you probably 446 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 6: need to need to wrap this up quite a bit. 447 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 6: He was, he's a legendary director. His name is David 448 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 6: Shane and he's like, he's like, is Arnold said Arnold? Fine? 449 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 6: I said, it's just there's no dialoge. He made the 450 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 6: Arnold farmer next shot, you know what I mean? Yeah, 451 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 6: And we moved on from there. But that was awesome. 452 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 6: The things that were so much fun was just that 453 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 6: the athletes had such an appetite to be in them. 454 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 6: Kevin Garnett came and was so excited to be in 455 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 6: an ad. It was he, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen 456 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 6: and I was in it, and they were looking for 457 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 6: a nickname and I dubbed him the Boston three Party, 458 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 6: and Kevin before the ad was just ecstatic. He's just like, 459 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 6: I can't believe And I said, weren't you the MVP 460 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 6: in Bristol? 461 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: Man? 462 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 6: It's really in the big deal. But they they had 463 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 6: such a it was like a write of passage. I 464 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 6: think to be in one of those ads, the lebron 465 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 6: thing where I took his share, I think you know 466 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 6: that they still run that all these years later. There 467 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 6: they were all, they were all just a blast sew. 468 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 6: But that one with Me Stewart and Arnold Palmer's was 469 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 6: tough to be just because it's just it's the brilliances 470 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 6: that it required nothing, nothing to be said. 471 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: And my my favorite part was that they had him. 472 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: He had a caddy who was walking through them. 473 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 6: That that's the conceit that he ads is that the 474 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 6: is that you know, you'd be in the newsroom and 475 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 6: you know these muppet map cuts as they just wander 476 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 6: around right like, oh yeah, sure, you know there's the 477 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 6: western Kentucky hilltop. Of course, I think that one that 478 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 6: big red blob, all due respect, has been in a 479 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 6: million of them. And uh, I don't know they were 480 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 6: all They were all a blast to do, for sure, Scott. 481 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 5: This is a great compliment, but you are a goofball 482 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 5: of the highest order. If you weren't doing what you're 483 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 5: doing right now, what are you trained to do in 484 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 5: your life? 485 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 6: Not one, not one useful thing? Say you know this, Kim, 486 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 6: you know this, I know this. You no, but you 487 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 6: know our plate. Ours is a collection of people who 488 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 6: without ESPN would be a drift at sea. There would 489 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 6: be no meaningful place for us to do anything. It 490 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 6: was suggested to me because of my personality. Oh, you 491 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 6: could say you'd be great in sales, and I always said, 492 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 6: I don't want to hassle my friends to buy some 493 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 6: annuity like I just know i'd be careful that I 494 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 6: would not be I would not be useful in any way. 495 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 6: And I'm sure there are people that wonder what I'm 496 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 6: useful at now. But without ESPN, there's no on ramp 497 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 6: for me in society. So I remain I remain profoundly 498 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 6: grateful that I found some place to do what it 499 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 6: is I feel like I was sort of created to do, 500 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 6: which is watch games like you. And I mean this sincerely. 501 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 6: I think you're a great, great mentor for those of 502 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 6: us that have a passion for something to see that 503 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 6: we don't have to become cynical, we don't have to 504 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 6: lose our love for what we love and to hold 505 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 6: on to that love and the minute that it's extinguished, 506 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 6: I imagine you put the pen down and say that's it. Right. 507 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 6: I'm and I feel the same. If I feel like 508 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 6: it's a chore to go to work and I really 509 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 6: don't care who wins the game, then time to shut 510 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 6: it down. But I remain every day that you'd get 511 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 6: to go in and do it. You think, hey, who's 512 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 6: going to win the game. What's awesome? Just like you 513 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 6: always talk about, you'll see something that happened every day 514 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 6: that's never happened, and you get to be the one 515 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 6: that talks about it. So you know, somehow I stumbled 516 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 6: into this place and here here I remain. 517 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 5: And Scott, you started off at the Golf Channel, and god, 518 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 5: you love all sports. I know that. But tell me, 519 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 5: we've got the British Open coming up. Tell me, having 520 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 5: never been to England to play golf, what is it 521 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 5: like for you to cover the British Open and play golf? 522 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 5: Over there. 523 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 2: Don't you mean the British Open. 524 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think he misunderstood. You wouldn't. 525 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 6: If you want to put in Baltimore Eage, and you 526 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 6: wanted to put it in a proper sort of lexico, 527 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 6: it would be the Open, the Open Championship. We don't 528 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 6: need to say British. 529 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 2: It's just the a Open. 530 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 6: And playing golf there as opposed to here is entirely 531 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 6: different because there everything here you play through the air, 532 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 6: you landed and it stopped. Links golf is a much 533 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 6: different game where it's played lower to the ground, shots 534 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 6: run up. It's hard to describe it unless you try 535 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 6: to play it. But I can remember vividly one year 536 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 6: and Trum was the first Open that I ever covered. 537 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 6: In nineteen ninety seven, Justin Leonard won. That got him all. 538 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 6: But we would go and play in the in the 539 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 6: evenings and we were this one course, there's like four 540 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 6: or five of us from ESPN, and we're playing in 541 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 6: front of this guy who looks like he's a hundred 542 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 6: and he's got this like nine piece rickety swing and 543 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 6: he can't follow through. But we keep looking back and 544 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 6: the ball keeps being three feet from the hole and 545 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 6: We're like, this is like the ghost of Ben Hogan, 546 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 6: and we're watching and we're thinking, Mike, I don't know 547 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 6: how he's doing this. And he's landing him thirty yards 548 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 6: short of the green, and then they roll up and 549 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 6: then they curl in and then it's another birdie putt. 550 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 6: So at the end we wait for this guy because 551 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 6: just we want to just see what else. And he 552 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 6: hits another close shot and he's got this little pole 553 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 6: caddy and he's meandering very slowly, and he gets done 554 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 6: and he walks past us and we're all sort of 555 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 6: staring at him, and I said to the man, I said, 556 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 6: that was incredible. And he's wearing a Hogan cap and 557 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 6: tim without breaking strides, he just slightly acknowledges and as 558 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 6: acknowledges us and says it's not the first summer played 559 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 6: this course and keeps walking and it's like, I don't 560 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 6: care if he plays this of course one hundred times. 561 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 6: There's no way you play like that every day. But 562 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 6: the idea that not the Fosama played this course, the 563 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 6: deep Scottish growth, and there's something to understanding the game. 564 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 6: It's I've always said Augustin Nashal is my favorite place 565 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 6: to go. But I feel the Open Championship is the 566 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 6: best championship because they've played for it longer than any other. 567 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 6: They invented the game, and it just it's part of 568 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 6: the fabric of their whole society. And so for us 569 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 6: to say that something we've done not nearly as long 570 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 6: means something more than that, I just feel as I 571 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 6: just won't do it. And I've seen all of them, 572 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 6: so I don't feel badly in saying that's my opinion, 573 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 6: and I feel like it's an informed opinion because I've 574 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 6: seen them all. 575 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 5: They asked Ben Hogan once, He asked his caddy once 576 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 5: how far tore the flag from here? And as Caddy 577 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 5: said six, and Ben said, which one is it? Give 578 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 5: me give me a story, Scott, of the precision that 579 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 5: you've seen from our greatest PGA Tour players that just 580 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 5: make you go, I can't believe he's that precise. 581 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 6: Look at the last major, the United States Oafen, where 582 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 6: Bryce and de Shamba got up and down from a 583 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 6: bunker on a fifty five yard explosion shot. No one 584 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 6: had gotten up and down from that bunker the entire week, 585 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 6: and he was all only on Sports Center that night, 586 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 6: and he explained that he had practiced that shot specifically. 587 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 6: He said, I walked it off. He said, I knew 588 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 6: exactly how far it had to be. I had to 589 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 6: land at thirty yards and he said, that's where I landed. 590 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 6: So think about what I'm saying to you. He's hitting 591 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 6: a ball out of sand in a bunker with a 592 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 6: huge lift that no one's been able to get up 593 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 6: and down from the entire week. He needs to do 594 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 6: it to win the United States Open Championship. He needs 595 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 6: to land the ball at a spot on the green 596 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 6: thirty yards away, and he does it, and then it 597 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 6: rolls to three feet then he knocks it in. It's 598 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 6: I mean, I play the game. I enjoy the game, 599 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 6: but I mean it's the old thing. And it's true 600 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 6: if they're playing golf, I don't know what we're doing. 601 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 6: But we're not doing that. You know, we don't possess 602 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 6: that type of It's just not that finally calibrated, you know, 603 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 6: in the same way that you know a gwin can 604 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 6: foul it off and tell you if you hit a 605 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 6: steam or not. You know what I mean. Like, there's 606 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 6: just there's there's a level to this at the highest 607 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 6: level that the mortals will just never comprehend. 608 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 5: Scott, let's push this to baseball. You taking it back 609 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 5: in a major league game? Is that something that is 610 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 5: just something that is inconceivable given how hard the guys 611 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 5: throw in a major league game today? 612 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 6: I mean, I would remember Cruck, Remember Cruky when Randy 613 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 6: buzz the tower, Yes, and he just like heartbeats the 614 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 6: hat on backwards a whole bit. I don't want it 615 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 6: remember when Look when I was young, Goust Goshige was 616 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 6: this terrifying guy because he threw ninety something. Now every 617 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 6: bullpen's got seven guys that throw that horse, every single one. 618 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 6: Like a plus arm is you got to be ninety 619 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 6: eight ninety nine to be like plus fastball. I would 620 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 6: want nothing to do with any of that. I mean 621 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 6: the different like a golf course. If I wouldn't play Pinehurst, 622 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 6: I know I'd embarrass myself some, but I know that 623 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 6: I'm capable of I can hit a drive in a 624 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 6: fair way, and I could hit a decent arang shot. 625 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 6: Who the hell knows, I might get lucky to make 626 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 6: a Bernie. I'm not getting a hit off a major 627 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 6: league pitcher ever, never I'm old. Also, when I was younger, 628 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 6: I would have talked. I would have talked myself any it. 629 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 6: I get that green East, I get that green thirty 630 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 6: four baby, and I'd be I sway like a man. 631 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 6: I swayed like Andehar, swing as hard as I can 632 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 6: in case that my contact, But I'm holding feeble mouse. 633 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 6: So those my days of being being boastful and long gone. 634 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 6: As it relates to that. 635 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 5: Right, speaking of that, skuy, when's the last time you 636 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 5: dunked a basketball? 637 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 6: Dunked? Yes, it was within the last year, but it 638 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 6: was with us. It was with a slightly underinflated soccer 639 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 6: ball that I could easily palm. And I'm terrified of 640 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 6: one thing right now, at this advanced stage, I'm terrified 641 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 6: of a torn achilles. And I'm convinced. I used to 642 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 6: be able to jump pretty I was weird. I was 643 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 6: a one leg jumper, like I couldn't. I did not 644 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 6: have great lift off too, but off one leg I 645 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 6: could get my arm like way above the ram easy. 646 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 6: I'm sick six also, So I mean, it wasn't like 647 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 6: that was some great thing. But now when I go 648 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 6: to jump, my legs, my knees just gets straight. That's 649 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 6: all that happens. It's like extra gravity kicks in. But 650 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 6: I'm trying to remember where I was. I think it 651 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 6: was in the driveway of the house we were staying and 652 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 6: I dunked in like slightly underinflated soccer ball. I don't 653 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 6: think that counts, but that's as close as I've been. 654 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 5: No, that's good enough, Scott, because I know you dunked 655 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 5: in high school. That's good enough for me. But and 656 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 5: you're what fifty seven years old? Yeah, if you could 657 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 5: still dunk a soccer ball in fifty seven, I don't 658 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 5: care if you're seven to six, that's pretty good. 659 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, dad, you did. But again, again, it's been I 660 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 6: don't know, I don't know when in the last year. 661 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 6: I'm gonna claim it though, because it happened. 662 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you dunked on your grandson Carson's little tikes. Who Yes, 663 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: last year. That was pretty good. That's about it. 664 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: And that's with one artificial hips guy, And it's pretty 665 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: impressive when. 666 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 2: You think about it. 667 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, look, the guy you're sitting next to you 668 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 6: is pretty impressive across the board.

I hope you get to do the things 670 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 6: that he got to do, and hope you have the 671 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 6: kind of career that he's had. You'll, I think you'll 672 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 6: find that if you have, if you earn accolades, it 673 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 6: becomes really difficult to accept them. I said recently about 674 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 6: something that I've tried to get better at letting people 675 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 6: be kind to me. I find it much easier to 676 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 6: blow it off as well.
