53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,520

54
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: on the juice, but you overall are ahead. You gotta

55
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,239

00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: want me to get the picks right, you dummy, to

61
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: make this actually a big deal and not some kind

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: of disaster, and you are openly, yet again, you are

63
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: openly pulling against me, which is going to hurt you.

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600

Speaker 1: are enjoying a mediocre weekend of picks. A mediocre weekend.

70
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm not enjoying it. But as you know in radio,

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: this is kind of synonymous for people that make it

72
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: or even break it, is that you never want to

73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: be five hundred. You either want to be really good

74
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: or really fucking bad. You never want to be middle

75
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,840

Speaker 1: for good fade material for people that don't trust you,

81
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,279

222
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to enjoy it. But

227
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, no, of course not. I had to

228
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: buy it. Actually I bought I was doing stuff for

229
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: w E I in Boston a couple of years ago, remotely,

230
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: and so I built this little studio and then they

231
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: did trade some of the raggedy equipment that I had bought.

232
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: They put some a couple of new things in here,

233
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: but other than that, it's the same stuff that I

234
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: had purchased on the internet years ago, a couple of

235
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: years back. So they can get your own gear at home.

236
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: That's did you ever work out at home? You all

237
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: those gigs you had over the years, you were never

238
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: able to work out a home? Were you now? Now?

239
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: Because I always like going in I could have. I

240
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: guess I had the used to do it. But how

241
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: is that going in seeing people saying hi, you know,

242
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: being sociable. Yeah, well, because that's because you're a social butterfly.

243
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm an introvert. Pat, you know that I'm not together

244
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: for that knowing TV is the extrovert. Radio is the introvert.

245
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: But I always like going in him and being around people,

246
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,840

331
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people from South Dakota. So I'm I'm

332
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: like low on the total pole. Yeah, well you're high

333
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,400

334
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: to that, I'm yes, very important, very important. Pat. Do

335
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: you Hunt? No? You know what, I shouldn't pay guys.

336
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: I should have, but I never did because Chas and

337
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: Hunt he is a big deal. I just I don't

338
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: like being around guns. Never did. A friend of mine

339
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: has a head blowing off, sucking around with a gun.

340
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: So from that moment on the way to bring the

341
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: interview down right, um, but I sat there and watched

342
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: the guy you know, blow his head off sucking around

343
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: with a gun, So I never, I never, I'm sorry,

344
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: did I say that word? Sorry? Messing around with a gun?

345
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: And so from that I was always afraid of them

346
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: and the only guns out there I've shotgun. So, so

347
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: what do you recommend to do then? If we go

348
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,720

00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't. We we haven't gone anywhere this year because

358
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: restaurants are great, the food is good. Yeah. Hey, when

359
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: you were when you look at John Morrell and Company

360
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: to meet packing plan, Yeah, hey, I gotta when you

361
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: were working in New York all those years, did you

362
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: live in the city or did you live outside or

363
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: how did that? How that work? That's your spot? That

364
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: was my spot. It's a Regency hotel department in the Regency.

365
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, I never paid for it, So

366
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean you gave me some Pat, You gave me

367
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: some great advice. Remember when I was I was traveling

368
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: at the time you were working at Fox Sports Radio.

369
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: I was doing stuff at the NBC Sports Network, So

370
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: I had to go back to Stanford, Connecticut like once

371
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: a month and do some some TV stuff which I

372
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: sucked at, which I'm not doing anywhere. But you told

373
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: me when it comes to travel, remember what you told

374
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: me when it comes to the expense is on travel,

375
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: pat and how to handle that. Did I say, lie, No,

376
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: you said. I think you said something to the effect

377
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: that these big media comans, at least at that time. Um,

378
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: it was just like a business write off right for

379
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: travel a lot of times. So like you whatever, when

380
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: you were traveling, you can stay at a nice hotel

381
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: because it's just a business expense, right if something that

382
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: they don't care. I mean I had a pretty expensive

383
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: com because I said, look, if you're taking me away

384
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: from my house, my apartment, then you gotta take care

385
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: of me the way I would live there. And they

386
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: understood that. And by the way, you're right, the travel

387
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: expenses a big write off for them, so it's not

388
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: a big deal. Yeah, you know if you get a

389
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: five bedge of a squeaked and they might give me

390
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: a call. But I hear you, Hey, when you were

391
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: when you were in New York, did you ever run

392
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: with Trump? When when you were in New York? And

393
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: did you guys hang in the same social circles back

394
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: in those days? Are good friends? We still are. Um.

395
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: We were just talking about it the other day. We

396
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: used to go out to dinner like once or twice

397
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: a week. And that's just when he was Donald Trump

398
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: real estate guy. Now look at him, I know he's

399
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: Have you talked to him since he became the president?

400
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Have you? Yeah, you have said, what do you expect

401
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: you're going to do with this job? What do you

402
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: what do you think? What are you thinking? But he's

403
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: having a good time. He's actually a pretty good guy. Yeah,

404
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: he's been trashed though. Man, it's been vicious fellows. As

405
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, everybody trashes me. I said to one of

406
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: those guys who's trash, Doble'll get over it, isn't it great? Though?

407
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: Facts when he was running around New York and all that,

408
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: everyone like, he was hanging out with her, he was

409
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: everyone's friend. Everyone loved him. And then he becomes president.

410
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: Now he's a pariah and he's he's horrible and all

411
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's just brutal, how vicious it is right now.

412
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I like his trajectory though. I mean, he did this right.

413
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: I think he might have been thinking about this all

414
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: the time. But now look at him. I said to myself,

415
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to call him Mr President, so don't

416
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. So how how do

417
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: you let me ask you? Now? You you have obviously

418
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: Trump's number from back when he lived in New York,

419
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: But how if you want to get ahold of he's

420
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: the president of the United States. It must have been

421
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: difficult to get ahold of him? Like how you can't

422
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: just call him up? Can you? I got a cell number,

423
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: and he gave his cell number out to very few people.

424
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: So should we should dial it? Man? Yeah? Now, Pat?

425
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: That see that would make this even better. But not now.

426
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: You of course are enough to get the downloads up.

427
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: But but that's to know somebody that became president? What

428
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: you hang with some high rollers? Pat? I remember, I

455
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: of Pat O'Brien here at this point with the election? Yeah,

456
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: I think he's you know, I'm not fond of his politics.

457
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: He knows that, but um yeah, I think he's gonna

458
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: go who's gonna beat him? I mean, when you're an

459
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: incumbent president. You have everything working for you, plus you

460
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: have all the money. And that's what it takes to

461
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: win now is money, lots of it. That's why I'm

462
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: not running for you all. They wanted me to run

463
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: for sentatives South Dakota or governor. Yeah, I said, the

464
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: last thing. You want me to be as your governor?

465
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: What would you do as governor? If Pat O'Brien was

466
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: the governor? What would you do? I want to enjoy,

467
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, I would enjoy it. I just don't think

468
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: it pays well. Well, isn't politics where you make your

469
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: money once you're out of office because you all those

470
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: people have to pay you money for the favors that

471
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: you give them. I think that's usually how it works,

472
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, it's a good trans It would be

473
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: a good transition for me because everybody knows me. Um. Yeah,

474
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: but broke on both of out Dakota and he didn't

475
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: want to run, so um, I don't know. I think

476
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: being a being governor or being a politician boring for me.

477
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: Do you think, Well, it depends how you did it.

478
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Like now, it would be tough, but you could go

479
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: to all kinds of social junk's pad and you could

480
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 1: hang out and press the flash. You're you're great at

481
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. That's true, that's anyway. Yeah, okay,

482
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: So if Trump gets reelected, Pat, and he calls you

483
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: up and says, hey, I need you on some White

484
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: House committee, would you do It? Depends on what it is.

485
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I love don and I would do that.

486
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: But what do I need that? Now? I'm talking to

487
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: you on an afternoon. I don't need anything else. You

488
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: know clearly your life is complete, right, Uh No, you

489
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: know I don't need that. I some people need it

490
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: further ego. I have enough things from my ego. Yeah,

491
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: do you Pat? Do you miss the radio space here

492
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: like your Fox caf? I? Do you do you miss that?

493
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: You know? I loved radio more than television, you know

494
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: what I I mean. You saw me in there, and I

495
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: love just sitting in front of the microphone. You can

496
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: say whatever you want almost and I loved it over there.

497
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: I had a good time doing that. Do you think

498
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: in today's environment that you'd be able to survive it

499
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: just with the way that you know you were able

500
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: to say and do what you want. Well, I'm a survivor.

501
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: And if they hire me. They know what they're getting. So,

502
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's a pretty good at ten. I mean

503
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: the conversation, let's hire paddle Brand, we'll do. You have

504
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: to put up with it, yes, Now, Now, Pat, I

505
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: love that you're friends with Trump because you are obviously

506
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: a Democrat. But you know, Trump's a Republican guy. And

507
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: we're at the point now where if you're on its tribalism.

508
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: If you're a Democrat, you can't like a Republican. If

509
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: you're a Republican, you can't like a Democrat. It's it's

510
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: just wild politically. How many presidents do you you you

511
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: were friends with the Clinton's right, I think back in

512
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: the back in how many presidents have you been friendly

513
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: with over the years. Let's see Bill Um Clinton? Yeah, Trump,

514
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: I knew Nixon did some things to them, but we

515
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: never really clicked. As you can imagine, Uh, what the

516
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: kind of guy who go out for a beer with

517
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: you know Trump? You did? Yeah, but Trump is great,

518
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: by the way, and he never forgets his friends. What

519
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: was it like back in the in the eighties and

520
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: the nineties with when you were hanging out in New

521
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: York going out to dinner and restaurants and running into Trump?

522
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: What was that like in those days like it is today?

523
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: You know the great thing about being on television as

524
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: much as I've been ever, I knows you you know,

525
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: which has benefits since travails. But I love going out

526
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: in New York. By the way. I always get a

527
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: good table, so they don't make you wait. When I

528
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: go to New York, they make me wait out in

529
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: the street and they're like, we'll get to you know,

530
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: you know when your number coming out? Oh was I

00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: was at the four Seasons and in walks Clinton and

532
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm at his table and they said, Mr Clinton's here.

533
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: I said, so, I mean it's good table. The bottom

534
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: line is I was here first. But now it's always

535
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: fun to go out in New York. It's expensive, though, jeez, yeah,

536
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: spy for a cocktail the way I drink. Do you

537
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: still have your place in New York? Do you still

538
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: go back there? Yeah? I do, um, and I don't.

539
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't get there enough, but I don't. I don't

540
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: want to get rid of it. It's good. A little

541
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: pricing now, but I can. I can take it off

542
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: your hands if you want. And when I'm in New York,

543
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: I can stay there. For if you want, you know,

544
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: just saying you're welcome to stay there. I was cleaned

545
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: and leave in the mailbox a night a night. Uh

546
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: that's great. So I told you when we worked together, Patton,

547
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: I I remember when I was when I was younger,

548
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: and you know, not to make you feel old, but

549
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: watching CBS and the Celtics and the Lakers in the eighties,

550
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: high to top the Boston Garden for what was the

551
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: credential at the half with Pat O'Brien, and uh, what

552
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: was it like working those days back in the in

553
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: the because the Boston Garden I was never there. It

554
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: was a dump, right, It was an old Rundown gymnasium

555
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: and it was it's not like these new arenas today

556
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: where everything's got the build whistles. You were. You were

557
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: by television standards and by sports standards. You were roughing

558
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: it right back in those days. Well as you'd like

559
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: to say, it had character. And I always said, I

560
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: made them make me a spot up for the bell

561
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: case said, I sat over Boston Garden. But it has

562
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: a lot of character and a lot of and I

563
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: knew all the players, so you know, ueah, but the

564
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: Boston Garden, we walk in there and there's Larry Bird.

565
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: You know you you know you're somewhere, but didn't it

566
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: didn't have air conditioning, right, and there we get hot

567
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: those conditioning, no fresh air, no ventilation. Yeah, but they

568
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: had Larry Bird. So um that saidenough, isn't it? Yeah?

571
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: that stood out and said, man, that is the coolest

572
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: thing that I get to do? Is it was the Olympics?

573
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: What was you know what? My favorite events were always

574
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: the Olympics. I've done like six Olympics And the great

575
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: thing about the Olympics that you never get bored. There's

576
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: always something going on, and uh, it's just the Olympics

577
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: are great. The NBA Finals are always good for me

578
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: too because I kind of ran that deal. But the

579
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: Olympics is great. What do people associate you with them?

580
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,760

582
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: halftime and all that stuff. Is it? What do you

583
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: think most people when they say Pat O'Brien, they is it?

584
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Is it the entertainment stuff? You did after sports, what

585
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: would it be? I said, it's still sports. I mean,

586
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: most people I remember you on the NBA and college basketball,

587
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: believe or not. And in college football I did a

588
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of I did a lot of college people forget that.

589
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: That's some college kids actually went to school. But I

590
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: didn't go to school. When I was in college at too, No, please,

591
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: I was the radio nerd. I didn't pay only radio.

592
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: I paid attention to pretty much nothing else. But that

593
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: was about it. And how much Pat? All the all

594
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,800
