Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I was just taking a victory lap because
Speaker 1: one of the great purchases of my life is in
Speaker 1: the man cave. I bought a disco ball, and I
Speaker 1: didn't know how to use it, but I bought it
Speaker 1: for the American on Athletic Association of America are three
Speaker 1: on three basketball tournament, and I thought it would be
Speaker 1: great for player introductions. I bought a smoke machine too
Speaker 1: for player introductions. And then, of course the pandemic happened,
Speaker 1: and just like all the other great sports leagues, we
Speaker 1: were put on hold. Here. We have no timeframe for
Speaker 1: when we will resume the au AA. But I saw
Speaker 1: this disco ball and I said, I gotta have it,
Speaker 1: and we've been using the disco ball when Mario reads
Speaker 1: some of the tweets on the air, and we have
Speaker 1: a segment on YouTube dot com slash the Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show giving him a little airtime. Marvin, who answers the
Speaker 1: owns getting a little air time as well reading emails.
Speaker 1: So at disco ball, man, it's going to come in handy.
Speaker 1: And you can't have a bad day if you have
Speaker 1: a disco ball, can you? When that starts spinning and
Speaker 1: the light hits it. Although we're gonna find out if
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a bad day. But as for now,
Speaker 1: I love I love me some disco ball and it
Speaker 1: brings back some decent memories. Yeah pull now you are
Speaker 1: a rock DJ and FM rock DJ in the mid
Speaker 1: to late seventies. Oh yeah, Were you anti disco or
Speaker 1: were you kind of in between? I was. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was anti, but it wasn't going to be
Speaker 1: in my music repertoire. I appreciated the BGS. I truly
Speaker 1: appreciated their ability to sound like that, and they came
Speaker 1: up with great hits and they had great hair. But
Speaker 1: I wasn't adverse to to disco because you know that
Speaker 1: Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park many many, many decades ago,
Speaker 1: and of course it was disastrous. But no, I'm okay
Speaker 1: with disco. I don't have any real adverse feelings to it.
Speaker 1: I'm open to just about anything. Anybody have a disco
Speaker 1: problem here? I see some cringing faces there, Seeton O'Connor,
Speaker 1: disco not a on your music list? Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know it's it's not on my music list
Speaker 1: necessarily um, but I think I don't know that all
Speaker 1: disco is created equally. But if Donna Summer comes on,
Speaker 1: it's great, right, Great begs are great, Yes, yeah, but
Speaker 1: they're the beeches were great, but it felt like America
Speaker 1: consumed them so quickly and they spit them out quickly.
Speaker 1: Right after that, they had a like a two or
Speaker 1: three year window or maybe four years where it was
Speaker 1: like beg's were big, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: America went, no, this is a big two fair asked
Speaker 1: maybe or something like that, this doesn't taste good. Yes.
Speaker 1: I remember my mom liking the BJ's a lot, which
Speaker 1: made me think they were not cool, and I was
Speaker 1: looking for anything that she thought was too loud. If
Speaker 1: my mom thought it was too loud, I would buy
Speaker 1: those records. But did we go into hair bands after
Speaker 1: that right after disco or did it was big hair
Speaker 1: then grunge. It's big hair then grunge, but just before
Speaker 1: the big hair thing, Yeah, I'm not really sure. I
Speaker 1: mean disco was in there somewhere. Yeah, it went disco
Speaker 1: to MTV. Oh you know what, Actually there was sort
Speaker 1: of like in between disco and maybe MTV was sort
Speaker 1: of I know that's when the sex Pistols and all
Speaker 1: that happened. Oh, okay, but that didn't last that long.
Speaker 1: No, no no it didn't. But that that took you into say,
Speaker 1: like the early eighties. Okay, and yes, and club you
Speaker 1: guys are forgetting about synth rock sort of like the
Speaker 1: Keytar stays. Like every the synse went from disco to
Speaker 1: rock bands and ruined music for about ten years. Right,
Speaker 1: all those terrible are you calling out rush? No? No,
Speaker 1: no Russias se mean like new wave like Paul Uran Mode. No,
Speaker 1: that's harder, Like guys, guys played it through the piano
Speaker 1: on a guitarist trap like Revenge of the Nerves guitar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hall of Notes. Well, if you look at like nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty disco is pretty much dying. If you look at
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty two Billboard top charts, the top songs
Speaker 1: were Physical by Living Newton, John, I Have the Tiger
Speaker 1: by Survivor, I Live, Rock and Roll by Jane Jet,
Speaker 1: center Field, Centerfold by Jay Giles, Christie Much We loving this,
Speaker 1: This is awesome. A lot of John Cougar, Human League,
Speaker 1: Hall and Oates, Rick Springfield, Foreigner that was big and
Speaker 1: eighty two. Yes, Todd I remember watching Andy Gibbon Marilyn
Speaker 1: McCoo counting down the Solid Gold nineteen eighty one hits.
Speaker 1: Number three was Kissed on My List. Number two was
Speaker 1: Let's Get Physical Living Who and John A Number one,
Speaker 1: Kim Cornes, Betty Davis, Davis eyes at number one. Thank
Speaker 1: you to welcome alrighty, welcome to the program, Final Hour.
Speaker 1: We've had a roller coaster ride here today. Yeah. Soon.
Speaker 1: That makes me think of like I always knew it
Speaker 1: was summer vacation, that when we got in the car,
Speaker 1: for some reason, Casey Caseum's countdown was on, and that
Speaker 1: was like the sound of summer to me. That meant
Speaker 1: we were driving, you know, either to Vermont on vacation
Speaker 1: or going down the Jersey Shore, or wherever it was
Speaker 1: we were going. We would always, for some reason we
Speaker 1: would get in the car and I remember listening to
Speaker 1: Casey Caseum and that was like, oh man, it's summer
Speaker 1: and you have that serious XM Channel seventies on seven
Speaker 1: and each Sunday, I think they replay Casey Kasum that
Speaker 1: week back in the seventies with his countdown and the
Speaker 1: fact that they who would have thought you would be
Speaker 1: repurposing Casey Caseum, but they are and it's it's great.
Speaker 1: It's just great to hear case. Let me see, all right,
Speaker 1: where are we? So we we talked to Tennessee head
Speaker 1: football coach Jeremy Pruitt. Well I asked questions. Rob men
Speaker 1: for the Baseball Commissioner joined, Chris Mannox talked about the
Speaker 1: bubble and Marv Albert hold of Famer. We'll join us.
Speaker 1: Coming up. We'll get phone calls. We got a poll
Speaker 1: question there, mcleven. We're standing with are we changing it
Speaker 1: up for the final hour? So the poll question the
Speaker 1: first two hours was would you like a one hundred
Speaker 1: game MLB season? Sixty three percent said yes. Well, we
Speaker 1: had the commissioner on and he said, then it not
Speaker 1: happening that it's one sixty two, and he believes in
Speaker 1: the historical aspect of that. He said one fifty four,
Speaker 1: which is what it used to be. Then it went
Speaker 1: to one sixty two. He also said that basically they
Speaker 1: had a sixty game schedule and that was it. They
Speaker 1: weren't budging off of that. And he does think they
Speaker 1: got to get the World Series in playoffs in because
Speaker 1: there's going to be a second wave coming back around.
Speaker 1: That's according to the commissioner. Yes, mccleven, I've been trying
Speaker 1: to push this poll, but I guess it's only for
Speaker 1: media members. But if you were a media member, would
Speaker 1: you want to go to the bubble? I keep bringing
Speaker 1: that question up because it just seems so restrictive as
Speaker 1: a young in my single am I married, I'll give
Speaker 1: you twenty five you don't have a family yet, because
Speaker 1: obviously if you have a family, it's a difference. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would probably go if I was just starting out
Speaker 1: in this business, and but I don't know how much
Speaker 1: access you're gonna have there. And basically you're gonna be
Speaker 1: hanging around guys who do the same thing you do.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna pay for it? I mean, it sounds so
Speaker 1: expensive three months of being on the company dime. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine many journalists can afford this on their own.
Speaker 1: Well they can't. They can't. But you know how important
Speaker 1: is this to whoever your boss is that content that
Speaker 1: you're going to have. You have to be able to
Speaker 1: say I'm going to get content that is going to
Speaker 1: be worth the price of me going down there to Orlando.
Speaker 1: Media outlets are not about spending money. These No, they're
Speaker 1: not a couple other synth pop. Duran Duran and The
Speaker 1: Cure also in there. Both great. I don't Duran Duran, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Cure I should like more, but I don't. I
Speaker 1: think I had a problem because he had I make
Speaker 1: up on and his hair looked like he was Edwards scissorhands,
Speaker 1: lipstick smeared his face. Love it, yeah, I never love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of glam rock or something like that.
Speaker 1: But then I was okay with Bowie dressing up the
Speaker 1: way he did. He started us, but that was seventies.
Speaker 1: I was different. Then saw The Cure like three years ago,
Speaker 1: maybe at Austin City Limits, and it was awesome to
Speaker 1: see him come walking out with that, you know, pancake
Speaker 1: makeup face and his lipstick all in his hair, all
Speaker 1: already like dude, Robert's still doing it. I know, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. It was great. Yeah. When I was in
Speaker 1: high school, there were these kids who listened to the
Speaker 1: Smiths and the Cure and they were wear black raincoats
Speaker 1: and be on Smoker's row and they were all Seaton
Speaker 1: probably see I know, Paul, he's halfway there. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys had that in high school
Speaker 1: like that the Smiths and Cure fans were a separate
Speaker 1: lot that wasn't in my wheelhouse. Yeah. Well, I think
Speaker 1: for my age group, it was more like the grunge kids.
Speaker 1: So it's like it was still kids listening to the
Speaker 1: Smiths and the Cure and then like Nirvana. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: still you know, trench coat, smoking cigarettes, etc. That smoker's
Speaker 1: row thing didn't change at all, standing right across the
Speaker 1: street from the school because if you stepped up the
Speaker 1: grounds you got demerits. So you just went across the
Speaker 1: street and smoked five cigarettes real quick before school. Yeah, Dan,
Speaker 1: I was on cool even then. The uncool group, the
Speaker 1: kids listening to the Cure and Smiths and all those bands.
Speaker 1: I love those bands that were my favorite. But they
Speaker 1: were wearing black stuff and boots and Doc Martins, and
Speaker 1: I was there wearing a pair of khaki pants and
Speaker 1: all the costume. I was the dork and the group
Speaker 1: of dorks. Oh not kidding, man. High school was so tough.
Speaker 1: You're just trying to fit in, and I was, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty good athlete, and even then I didn't quite fit
Speaker 1: in for some reason. I was always on the fringes
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I didn't like high school wasn't great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm club. But if you're happy, and I think this
Speaker 1: isn't a John Hughes movie. If you're happy in high school,
Speaker 1: you're doomed to a wife disappointment. You means you peeked.
Speaker 1: Oh there were guys. Yeah, there were people who definitely peaked.
Speaker 1: Like there were girls who peaked. There were guys who peaked.
Speaker 1: And I kept thinking, one of these days, I'm gonna peak.
Speaker 1: And I'm still waiting because one of these days I'm
Speaker 1: gonna peak like Kevin cost Yes, I'm gonna peak. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls in here. Let me see
Speaker 1: Susanne and New York joints us on the program. Hi, Susanne,
Speaker 1: I'm good, Susanne. What's on your mind today? First time,
Speaker 1: long time, six feet pre COVID hard one seventy five. Right.

Speaker 1: during this pandemic. It's it's been really helpful and to
Speaker 1: have a you know, a clear stained voice to listen
Speaker 1: to every day. But I do want to remind people
Speaker 1: when they thank us for being entertaining during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: we've been entertaining before the pandemic, like, haven't we Oh no,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I get this feeling that once the
Speaker 1: pandemic is over, people are gonna go, I'm I'm out
Speaker 1: of here. Oh it's just out of like extreme boredom
Speaker 1: that they're like, Yeah, you know, these guys are actually
Speaker 1: pretty funny, you know what. I'm stuck in my house
Speaker 1: with nothing to do. You guys are kind of entertaining
Speaker 1: anytime of the pandemic. I'm gonna tune in. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: that's not at all Dan Patrick show. We're great during
Speaker 1: a pandemic. You're born to death. Tune into the damn
Speaker 1: Pass when there's nothing else going on dot dot dot
Speaker 1: what else, Susanne? Listen? Sure birthday with the big German Kids.
Speaker 1: So oh day birthday? Alrighty, well, happy birthday, Susanne. It's Eric,

Speaker 1: or at least tries to. It's his birthday today as well,
Speaker 1: So Susanne, happy birthday, and thank you for calling in
Speaker 1: and glad we could entertain you. Yes, that was a
Speaker 1: close cousin. I broke my leg and I've been in
Speaker 1: traction to I was forced to watch you on the
Speaker 1: hospital bed because they couldn't a channel. Well, I've gotten
Speaker 1: a couple of those surgery guys. Hey, I've been at home.
Speaker 1: I got surgery and uh stumbled upon the show. We're
Speaker 1: very attraction friendly, your intraction, we're your show. Give me
Speaker 1: the remote nope? Yeah, oh, we leave you in stitches literally, yes, Todd.
Speaker 1: Usually the batteries dyeing the remote and you're forced to
Speaker 1: kind of keep it on and for weeks on end,
Speaker 1: there's nothing you could do to change the channel. You
Speaker 1: can't get up. Thank you, Todd. Jacob in virtue again,
Speaker 1: one of those moments when I didn't race in my head.
Speaker 1: That's what you miss, calling on me without me raising
Speaker 1: my head the best I could do there, Susan's out.
Speaker 1: That's what you're gonna miss when the pandemic is over,
Speaker 1: if they find a cure, we're in trouble. Yes, hey Jacob,
Speaker 1: Hey dpuh a long time listener before the pandemic, So
Speaker 1: pretend Oh good, Yeah, I just wanted to throw out
Speaker 1: going off to kind of what Maddox was saying, how
Speaker 1: much the Lakers roster now is resembling a Cleveland Cavalier's
Speaker 1: lineup from Lebron was, you know, going through all the
Speaker 1: finals where you kind of got a bunch of role players,
Speaker 1: and I guess throw Anthony Davis in place at Kyrie
Speaker 1: and you got a championship team, right, Yeah, I guess so,
Speaker 1: And you're right, Jacob. Thanks for the phone call, because
Speaker 1: I would look at those Cleveland Cavalier teams that Lebron had.
Speaker 1: The fact he got to an NBA Finals is truly
Speaker 1: remarkable with that team. I rewatched the decision last night,
Speaker 1: and when you realized the Knicks had Lebron, all they
Speaker 1: had to do is not screwed up. That was it,
Speaker 1: and they did. And imagine if Lebron had gone to
Speaker 1: New York. Now Cleveland still would have hated him, but
Speaker 1: he would have made the Knicks relevant and you would
Speaker 1: have probably you would have had free agents who would
Speaker 1: have gone to play with Lebron because he's a player
Speaker 1: you want to play with, because he shares the ball.
Speaker 1: Then he goes to Miami. The fact that he knew
Speaker 1: right after it was over, social media was coming after
Speaker 1: him and nobody was celebrating when they flew to Miami,
Speaker 1: and you know, Chris Bosh is going there and Dwayne
Speaker 1: Wade's going there now. They didn't help themselves with the
Speaker 1: Boys to Men press conference, with the smoke show and
Speaker 1: not one and not two and not three and okay,
Speaker 1: he's twenty five, he's having five. Like the things that
Speaker 1: we nitpick about Lebron we would never even mention with
Speaker 1: other marquee athletes, never, but with Lebron Oh, he's taking
Speaker 1: his talents to South Beep. Kobe years earlier was taking
Speaker 1: his talents to the NBA as a high schooler and
Speaker 1: as sunglasses on his head and nobody said anything Lebron
Speaker 1: Oh taking mbones to South Beach? All right? You know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it the South Beach part of it? Like what
Speaker 1: part of it was so taking my talents? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: feel like the South Beach part didn't help too, because
Speaker 1: that sort of evokes like something like a celebrity party.
Speaker 1: Whereas Kobe, what did Kobe say, I'm taking but but
Speaker 1: he even had that, um, well, I'm taking my challenge too,
Speaker 1: and then he paused. They paused, and he paused, and
Speaker 1: he pause and then you know, like he was going
Speaker 1: to go to college. Yeah. See, the Lebron already had
Speaker 1: so many more things and I'm not a Lebron hater
Speaker 1: at all. I'm very much a Lebron supporter, but he
Speaker 1: was already the chosen one. He was already he was leaving,
Speaker 1: you know, Cleveland to join a super team to try
Speaker 1: and win a title. Like he just had all of
Speaker 1: these things that were kind of stacked against him. That yep, um,
Speaker 1: you know it's Kobe was just a high school kid
Speaker 1: taking his talents to the NBA, you know, whereas Lebron
Speaker 1: was the chosen one who well, couldn't get it done there,
Speaker 1: but now gonna go over here to do it. Like
Speaker 1: there was just all of these crappy storylines around him,
Speaker 1: and you could see the frustration when Lebron would get
Speaker 1: eliminated in the playoffs because he kept looking around, going
Speaker 1: I'm never going to beat these teams by myself. And
Speaker 1: nobody wants to go to Cleveland. People didn't want to
Speaker 1: go there. With Dan Gilbert, he tried to get Chris
Speaker 1: Bosh to go to Cleveland. Bosh is like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: going I got a direct flight from Toronto to Miami. Yeah. Point.
Speaker 1: Lebron gets criticized for jumping to different teams, but imagine
Speaker 1: if he stayed in Cleveland and he's fifteen years in
Speaker 1: and didn't have a title. Imagine a criticism he would be.
Speaker 1: He would get the title of greatest athlete never to
Speaker 1: win one, and that's the worst title. I'd rather have
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism. And he gets criticized because he
Speaker 1: gets to the finals and he loses. But this is
Speaker 1: this is an old tradition that we bashed the team
Speaker 1: that loses in a championship game. We rarely celebrate Butler.
Speaker 1: We celebrated when Butler went to back to back title games.
Speaker 1: Then they that's like a win for Butler. But when
Speaker 1: teams when the Buffalo Bills lost those four Super Bowls,
Speaker 1: we don't credit them for going to four consecutive Super Bowls,
Speaker 1: which will never happen again. It was always you lost
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. You guys are bumms. He loses the
Speaker 1: NBA finals, Oh, you know, Jordan never lost. He's getting
Speaker 1: to more NBA Finals than Mike ever did, and he
Speaker 1: might end up getting to the finals more than anybody else. Yeah, mcclub.
Speaker 1: But there's always that idea that one conference is so
Speaker 1: much stronger than the other that it doesn't like. That's
Speaker 1: what the Broncos and the Bills were like the AFC
Speaker 1: was down for a long time, so the Broncos would
Speaker 1: get out of a bad AFC. The same with lebron
Speaker 1: in that early I know, but you have to play
Speaker 1: the teams that are in front of you on your schedule,
Speaker 1: like you can't go hey, you know, don't like when
Speaker 1: Buffalo got there, so there's no other good team. Yeah
Speaker 1: the AFC was bad then, Yeah, they do. We hold
Speaker 1: that against the hatred. Oh, I do the AFC. He
Speaker 1: you do. Watch Tom's gonna regret leaving that AFC, Yes, Tome.
Speaker 1: I don't think Elway got two criticized for three Super
Speaker 1: Bowls and four years they got to snare gonna get killed.
Speaker 1: I don't think he got killed. He couldn't win the
Speaker 1: big one. I thought it was more of like the
Speaker 1: Broncos as a team. Oh that team again, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be just left thirty nine, twenty and forty two ten,
Speaker 1: now fifty five ten. I don't remember it being all
Speaker 1: so much on always there's a running joke in The
Speaker 1: Simpsons about how the Denver Broncos can't walk and chew
Speaker 1: gum at the same time. In the late eighties, it's
Speaker 1: he'd they get killed. Oh yeah, and you're right, but
Speaker 1: they were getting blown out. That was the problem. If
Speaker 1: you got to the Super Bowl and you got blown out,
Speaker 1: you were forgotten. You were left for dead. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Elway was oh and three and is the third super Bowl.
Speaker 1: He had two picks. I mean he was It was
Speaker 1: tough time, so you could find stories. Yeah, mclob do
Speaker 1: you think Lebron would have won though, if he stayed
Speaker 1: found a way to get players there? Eventually? He obviously
Speaker 1: did win in Cleveland if he had never left at
Speaker 1: some point, don't you think he could have gotten somewhere
Speaker 1: in the go there? I mean, he obviously won't one there. Well,
Speaker 1: he had Kyrie and you have Kevin Love, so Kyrie
Speaker 1: is there. If Lebron doesn't leave, then Kyrie is not
Speaker 1: taken by the Cavaliers because they want to have the
Speaker 1: number one pick. And then they used another number one pick.
Speaker 1: Was that Wiggins who they sent to Minnesota to get
Speaker 1: Kevin Love? So he did he helped build the Calves
Speaker 1: accidentally by leaving so they could get Kyrie Irving and
Speaker 1: then coming back and then they had some you know,
Speaker 1: collateral that they could send to Minnesota to get Kevin Love.
Speaker 1: But that's the only way they got people. Yeah, pull
Speaker 1: going back to Alway, not to pile on because he
Speaker 1: is one of the all time greatest. He was over
Speaker 1: for three in the Super Bowl and the third Super
Speaker 1: Bowl he was ten of twenty six for one hundred
Speaker 1: and eight yards, no touchdowns, two picks, and then they
Speaker 1: went seven more years without appearing the Super Bowl. Always
Speaker 1: career is drastically changed by those last two. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it's captain obvious, but you gotta look at
Speaker 1: it at the time thanks to Trell Davis, I mean
Speaker 1: that he I think Terrell Davis, you know, you can say,
Speaker 1: is largely responsible for how Elway is now perceived because
Speaker 1: they ran the football. They ran it down the throats
Speaker 1: in the opposition in those Super Bowls, especially Green Bay.
Speaker 1: But if they don't win, then Elway is not in
Speaker 1: the conversation as you know, greatest quarterback. I mean he's
Speaker 1: not the greatest quarterback. I think he's as talented, if
Speaker 1: not more talented, than any quarterback I ever saw. And
Speaker 1: a game on the line, Elway. Would you know, if
Speaker 1: you say, hey, you're taking Montana or Marino or Brady
Speaker 1: or Russell Will and you give me Elway, I'm good
Speaker 1: with that. All right, We'll take a break. More phone
Speaker 1: calls coming up. We'll check in with Marv Albert. He's
Speaker 1: not going to the bubble in Orlando. How concerned Izzy
Speaker 1: about this season getting off to a good start and
Speaker 1: maybe seeing it through to completion? Twenty two after the hour,
Speaker 1: This is The Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us
Speaker 1: live every weekday morning nine noon Eastern or six to
Speaker 1: nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. Find your local station
Speaker 1: for The Dan Patrick Show at Fox Sports Radio dot com,
Speaker 1: or stream us live every day on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: by searching f s R. More phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: I think we got a busy show tomorrow as well.
Speaker 1: Don Mattingly, he's going to join us. Robinson of a
Speaker 1: Heat you didn't even know. You make it sound like
Speaker 1: you know he came from a division three starts hitting
Speaker 1: a bunch of three pointers. Next two weeks ago, you
Speaker 1: didn't know who he was. And then I said, he's
Speaker 1: got an unbelievable backstory and a little research. It sounds
Speaker 1: like someone worth having on the show. Yeah, you should
Speaker 1: do more of that. Tony Clark's coming on tomorrow. MLB executive. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let me let me go conspiracy theorist, who
Speaker 1: is book for? No? Who is book first? Tony Clark?
Speaker 1: Or Baseball Commissioner Rob Man? That would be Tony Clark
Speaker 1: for tomorrow? Do you think? Yes? Okay, I believe you.
Speaker 1: I think it was a reactionary booking that the Baseball
Speaker 1: Commissioner's office. Did you say we were having Tony Clark
Speaker 1: on on Thursday? Okay? That's good job by you, Todd,
Speaker 1: good job by you. And you tracked down Marv Albert
Speaker 1: NBA on TNT Hall of Fame broadcaster and apparently not
Speaker 1: going to the bubble. Marv, thanks for joining us. How
Speaker 1: are you doing, good man? How are you and your
Speaker 1: entire crew? Everybody's good? Crazy times. How difficult was it
Speaker 1: to make that decision to not go to Orlando to
Speaker 1: do the games? Well? I was getting actually very excited
Speaker 1: about the challenge, you know, after I had been discussed
Speaker 1: how it would be set up, etcetera. But I started
Speaker 1: I have second thoughts, particularly with the spike recently in Florida,
Speaker 1: and I felt to be practical, you know that I
Speaker 1: was not sure what I was going to do. And
Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker the president of Warner Media called and we
Speaker 1: just disgusted, and he thought the right move would be
Speaker 1: to pass up on it. And I agree, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I would love to be there, but I think in
Speaker 1: my age group, there are you know, more possibilities. It's
Speaker 1: a higher risk. Uh so, but the new seventy nine
Speaker 1: is the new seventy eight, so I might, Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: be watching it. I hope it gets off. I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, the the bubble concept and the parameters set
Speaker 1: up by the Commissioner Adam Silver or on target, but
Speaker 1: the virus is extremely challenging, particularly in in as we
Speaker 1: all know in Florida. But I wondered, I thought, initially,
Speaker 1: and maybe I misread this with Kevin Harland, that maybe
Speaker 1: you guys were going to do it from Atlanta, broadcast
Speaker 1: from there and you know, watch the games on a monitor.
Speaker 1: Was that ever a possibility, that that was one of
Speaker 1: the possibilities. And I think that Turner and ESPN changed
Speaker 1: their mind. That would bring me back to my early days,
Speaker 1: like when I was eleven years old getting interested in
Speaker 1: sports broadcasting. I would turn down the sun on the
Speaker 1: TV and I would do it on my wollen sack
Speaker 1: tape recorder be at basketball baseball. I was very versatile
Speaker 1: at that time, and I actually got a crowd record.
Speaker 1: There was an announcement the less Kider. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know that. Nay, Yeah, he did a lot
Speaker 1: of championship fights. He did the Knicks for a year
Speaker 1: or two and then did quite a bit of basketball
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. But he would do recreations the year after
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Giants moved to the West coast of
Speaker 1: the games and in a New York studio on Wyns
Speaker 1: in New York and would use the crowd sounds. And uh,
Speaker 1: I did it one year doing the Syracuse Chiefs. Uh
Speaker 1: in Syracuse and the road games to save money were
Speaker 1: done off a ticker with crowdsound, and if there was
Speaker 1: a delay on the ticker, suddenly there might be a
Speaker 1: slight rainstorm at the ballpark. That actually did not happen.
Speaker 1: So I thought it might be we might be going
Speaker 1: back to those days. But no, they're hoping. You know,
Speaker 1: if all works out to do it, there'll be I guess,
Speaker 1: three venues and it could be as many as seven
Speaker 1: games a day. Uh and uh, I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: before this surge came in Florida. I thought the NBA
Speaker 1: had the best, best chance, best plan. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you feel about it. I think baseball will have
Speaker 1: a problem, although they're going to put the teams in,
Speaker 1: you know, into regions, you know, for example, the Mets, Yankees,
Speaker 1: Boston Philliots, etcetera. But this thing regular, this thing out
Speaker 1: of hotels, and it's if you know, it's not going
Speaker 1: to be the kind of bubble that the NBA is
Speaker 1: set up, and things can happen even you know, with
Speaker 1: that bubble. And as far as you know NFL and
Speaker 1: college football, it's a contact sport. I don't know how
Speaker 1: they got to pull that off. Hockey hockey two is
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough, very tough. Yeah, how many work
Speaker 1: it out, but it's gonna be tough. How many NBA
Speaker 1: games have you called in your career? You know, I've
Speaker 1: never counted, uh, must be, I mean it's thousands. I
Speaker 1: would guess five thousand, ten thousand, probably about five similar
Speaker 1: in that range, maybe maybe more. What was the greatest
Speaker 1: performance you ever called, greatest individual performance you ever called? Well,
Speaker 1: for several reasons, because of the condition he was in
Speaker 1: the Michael Jordan quote, flu or bad pizza game in
Speaker 1: the finals against Utah. What he accomplished when you watched
Speaker 1: him and you know, people in the stands didn't know
Speaker 1: what was happening. We were informed that he was not
Speaker 1: feeling well, he was sick, but he was hunched over,
Speaker 1: he was helped to the bench constantly, and he I
Speaker 1: don't recall the you know, the the totals from the
Speaker 1: box score, but he was extraordinary. I've never seen that
Speaker 1: type of performance in a big game. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure players have been ill, you know what I've played,
Speaker 1: but what he did under those conditions, just to me
Speaker 1: is the best performance I've ever seen, but more so
Speaker 1: because of his of his health at the time. I mean,
Speaker 1: there've been so many uh, you know, between Michael le
Speaker 1: Bron and Bird you know, you go right, you know,
Speaker 1: go right through it. Walt, Clyde Frasier, Willis Reid back
Speaker 1: to those days. Uh well, you know, you bring up
Speaker 1: Clyde Frasier. We're talking to Marv Albert. I still think
Speaker 1: that Clyde Frasier's performance in Game seven against the Lakers
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventies one of the more underrated performances in
Speaker 1: the history of the game, because Willis Reid. You know,
Speaker 1: I think he scored four points, but the emotional lift
Speaker 1: and he was named the MVP of the finals. I
Speaker 1: think Clyde Frasier put in thirty six points eighteen assists.
Speaker 1: That sent about, right, Marv. Yeah, I think it was
Speaker 1: thirty six nineteen and then a number of six six sixteals. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well Clive will agree, but no, I do also, And
Speaker 1: I thought it was an emotional vote because of the
Speaker 1: inspirational aspect of what Willis did. He was not supposed
Speaker 1: to play, and he actually did not play in Game
Speaker 1: six and the Knicks killed. Chamberlain had a big game,
Speaker 1: but Willis was not supposed to play and walks out,
Speaker 1: you know, the Lakers during the warm ups and came
Speaker 1: out late just before the anthem, and the Lakers just
Speaker 1: stopped and stared. They couldn't I never forget Chamberlain and West,
Speaker 1: you know, just looking over, they couldn't believe he was
Speaker 1: coming out too the I mean, they were really affected
Speaker 1: by that. And then he goes out and it was
Speaker 1: the loudest crowd I've ever heard probably anywhere when he
Speaker 1: stepped out of the court, and I ended up doing
Speaker 1: his wal you know, a couple of warm up shots
Speaker 1: and they were going nuts when he hit like a
Speaker 1: corner jump or you know, jumper from the foul line.
Speaker 1: And then he you know, hits his first two shots
Speaker 1: and he's limping around the court, you know, and just
Speaker 1: hung in there to rebound and box out. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't put up the numbers, but the rest of
Speaker 1: the team and that was just a great group. Reminds
Speaker 1: me of uh well, similar to the Celtics of their
Speaker 1: great years and the Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs
Speaker 1: and the Warriors. The way they moved the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: passed the ball. A very smart team, similar to all
Speaker 1: those teams. It was Bill Bradley and Willis and the
Speaker 1: Dave de Buscher and Dick Barnett and Clyde and a
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of guys off the bench. He
Speaker 1: didn't play many bench players. So it captured New York too, because,
Speaker 1: first of all, the first championship, and that's a team
Speaker 1: that would have would have won many more had they
Speaker 1: not had injuries. They won one, one other they beat
Speaker 1: the Lakers and five a couple of years left that Yeah,
Speaker 1: seventy three I think was Willis read the MVP of
Speaker 1: that Finals two. No, he was hurt. He yeah, the
Speaker 1: Jerry Lucas at the time playing center. They traded him
Speaker 1: for Kazie Russell. But it was well MVP. I know
Speaker 1: he didn't get he was on the bench, but he
Speaker 1: didn't get the vault. Yeah, I thought maybe he'd still
Speaker 1: get it, you know. Yeah, Hey, you'll be missed, but
Speaker 1: I think you're making the smart decision there, as tough
Speaker 1: as it must be for you. And it's great to
Speaker 1: catch up with you, Marv. Nice Now, I'll always go
Speaker 1: talking to you. I appreciate it. That's Marv Albert, Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer, lead announcer for the NBA on T n T.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the numbers here for Jordan. Jordan played
Speaker 1: forty four minutes in Game five, nineteen ninety seven Finals.
Speaker 1: He was thirteen to twenty seven. He had a couple
Speaker 1: of three pointers, ended up with thirty eight points. Thirty
Speaker 1: eight points, five steals, seven rebounds. But keep the flu
Speaker 1: game food poisoning. Now, it's just another game, you know,
Speaker 1: it's food poisoning. Flu. Just the whole air Jordan thing
Speaker 1: flew spelled differently obviously. That's why I think he had
Speaker 1: altitude sickness. I do, yeah, point, I know we talked
Speaker 1: about this ad nauseam. Pardon the pun boat. What would
Speaker 1: be the reason to change the story? There is no
Speaker 1: there's nothing negative about getting the flu. Or does Jordan
Speaker 1: look at it as like I'm invincible. I don't get
Speaker 1: the flu. Someone else had to do that. No. I
Speaker 1: think it's about there's like almost like a plot to
Speaker 1: poison him, right, But yeah, that's what I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: he had to blame somebody else. It can't be him
Speaker 1: being sick. Someone got me sick? Ye? Is it that
Speaker 1: maniacal idea? Yes? Yes, like it cam'py me. I don't
Speaker 1: get sick. I'm Jordan. Yes, McLevin. Are we sure these
Speaker 1: stats are right? I don't remember him missing a shot
Speaker 1: in that game. Well, when we did the highlights that night,
Speaker 1: he did not miss a shot. I don't think you
Speaker 1: know we added those together. Mike never missed a game
Speaker 1: winning John never, you know. I just wonder when you're
Speaker 1: like that with Michael Jordan, What Michael Jordan does. It's
Speaker 1: about winning. It's winning little battles, it's little wars, big battles,
Speaker 1: big wars. And I wonder where he like how he
Speaker 1: is going to be it, not survive, but you embrace
Speaker 1: it or I mean, that's why I always bring this up.
Speaker 1: But there's certain guys who have, like Lance Armstrong is
Speaker 1: Lance Armstrong. You're not changing, Pete Rose is not changing,
Speaker 1: Roger Clemens not changing, Barry Bond's not changing, Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: not changing. That's how they got there. But they have
Speaker 1: to live in that world. And while you say, well that, yeah,
Speaker 1: they make all that money, and no, if they do,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're happy, because they were all
Speaker 1: about winning. It'd be winning and at bat it'd be
Speaker 1: winning a game, winning a rivalry, winning a championship. And
Speaker 1: that's where I feel like if you said you can
Speaker 1: be like Michael or be like Lebron, I'd be like
Speaker 1: Lebron in a second. I think Lebron enjoys his life.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Michael does because he can't turn
Speaker 1: that off. It's always there. He's always looking for them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but is there any chance it's the opposite. Michael's oblivious
Speaker 1: and thinks this is fantastic. I love being me and
Speaker 1: I love being better than you. And he never thinks
Speaker 1: about or doubts himself. Well, he might not doubt himself,
Speaker 1: but I think he's stuck in that world that this
Speaker 1: is what made him great and he can't get out
Speaker 1: of that world. We watched and we marveled, but you know,
Speaker 1: you know that guy was made cameos in my life,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know what he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I heard he was. It was tiring to be around
Speaker 1: him for a long period of time. Tiring because everything
Speaker 1: was a competition. Everything. The fact that he spit on
Speaker 1: his pizza when he went to use the bathroom so
Speaker 1: the other guys in the room wouldn't need his pizza.
Speaker 1: Whether you BELI leave that or not. The detail that
Speaker 1: he's gone into just to prove that he had food poisoning,
Speaker 1: can never turn it off. It's like with Pete Rose,
Speaker 1: he was so competitive and then he became a manager
Speaker 1: where he can't play, so he gambled that that was
Speaker 1: his competition, like he just have to have. Mike loves
Speaker 1: to gamble, like you gotta have something. This has to
Speaker 1: be for something. Have you ever been around people where
Speaker 1: you go, you know, let's just play golf. No, we
Speaker 1: gotta play for money, and I'll go I don't want
Speaker 1: to play for money. It brings out the bad Danny.
Speaker 1: You don't want to see the bad Danny. By the way,
Speaker 1: when I'm doing an interview, you gotta turn your microphone.
Speaker 1: Forgot to shut my man We were doing the little
Speaker 1: man Fred Clark thing and I forgot to shut my
Speaker 1: micro That was my bad. I got no pleasure of
Speaker 1: interrupting your interview. Marm Albert, though I was laughing at
Speaker 1: his seventy ninth the New seventy album. Yeah, sorry, I
Speaker 1: gotta pull the curtain on Todd. Yeah, poem Danny, case
Speaker 1: you missed it. It sounded like this. I'll be watching it.
Speaker 1: I hope it gets off. I think that I like
Speaker 1: how you you know you made a mistake and then
Speaker 1: you keep your mic on to tell me that you
Speaker 1: got your mic on, continued talking. The laugh was so great.
Speaker 1: You know what, that's Bill Hayder. When Bill Hayder did
Speaker 1: his Keith Morris similar to that. Yes, I felt bad.
Speaker 1: I forgot that my mic was on. Todd just blew
Speaker 1: a perfect game. He had four good guests. You had
Speaker 1: a couple of really nice lines on air and a
Speaker 1: couple of good jokes. I think three good guests. Well, Prue,
Speaker 1: we didn't know what to expect. But Todd did a
Speaker 1: really good job today and then he lost in the
Speaker 1: ninth to give up a two run double? What give
Speaker 1: credit from me annex today? I mean he was fun,
Speaker 1: but that's not all. I'm sorry, funny segment. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: Todd could book him any time me what Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, We'll come back. We'll close up shop

Speaker 1: What an interesting day. You know, we had a little
Speaker 1: bit of fun with Jeremy Prott, the Tennessee head coach,
Speaker 1: after he was on, just because it was not a
Speaker 1: very entertaining interview. Man, he was maybe being a little
Speaker 1: overly cautious given what's going on. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: The one thing that stood out, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: was not the awkward part of the interview. It was
Speaker 1: that he's said zero players. It tested positive for the
Speaker 1: virus at Tennessee. I find that hard to believe. If
Speaker 1: I just play the odds here, the percentages are around
Speaker 1: five percent. That's what you would expect, I think for
Speaker 1: most of these schools. And look, maybe not comfortable telling
Speaker 1: you anything about that, but LSU quite a few players.
Speaker 1: What over thirty? You got Alabama so I don't know,
Speaker 1: Clemson zero. That was the headline I took out of that.
Speaker 1: Lisa in California is joining us? Hi, Lisa, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Hi? Dan? I am a long time, very
Speaker 1: long time pre COVID listener, first time callers than by
Speaker 1: three seven. I completely disagree with you. The best purchase
Speaker 1: ever on the disco ball it should definitely be Paton curtain,
Speaker 1: all the Fritzie curtain. Correct? You love that? I do?
Speaker 1: I love it? Yeah, well, thank you. I appreciate that. Lisa.
Speaker 1: That's very nice. Another satisfied customer of not seeing you
Speaker 1: on TV. Blah boy, yeah there you god, I do
Speaker 1: this time out. No, you're not supposed to talk about
Speaker 1: this thing. It's a silence. Curtains foiled again. Now you
Speaker 1: interrupted Marv Albert and then then you say that you
Speaker 1: interrupted Marv Albert and you kept your microphone on? How
Speaker 1: did that sound? Todd? So I here's Marve going and said, Todd,
Speaker 1: I thought that you were encouraging me to say something
Speaker 1: back to your man. No, that's how I took that.
Speaker 1: I obviously misread that, or you said, Todd, I'm oh,
Speaker 1: this is I guess become a little bit that I
Speaker 1: just screwed up something I was scolding. I was scolding
Speaker 1: you that you left your microphone on, and then I
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna leave you hanging if you said
Speaker 1: tie then I didn't respond to that, Todd. So I
Speaker 1: do we have when when Bill hayd was on? Do
Speaker 1: we have that clip where Todd left his microphone on?
Speaker 1: When Bill Hayter was imitating Keith Morrison, Guy, he shot me?
Speaker 1: Shot you dirty? Look? No, no, no, he shot me
Speaker 1: with a gun. And normally, normally your mics are off
Speaker 1: during the interviews and then once the interview is over
Speaker 1: then you can join in. But during the interview it's
Speaker 1: you see no, no, And I just I broke a major,
Speaker 1: major ruler unintentional. Did you have a good day today?
Speaker 1: I thought I had a decent day today. Did you
Speaker 1: have a good day to day? Is what I am.
Speaker 1: I think I had a good day today. Okay, I
Speaker 1: had a great what looked like it was gonna be
Speaker 1: a great day. It turned out to be a slightly
Speaker 1: about the pitch of a perfect game. It gave up
Speaker 1: a double in the nine. I lost a perfect game.
Speaker 1: I lost the no hitter, I lost the shot, I
Speaker 1: lost the dame. But what a memory you made today.
Speaker 1: We're never going to forget it. But it isn't that
Speaker 1: the day that Andy Hawkins threw a no hitter but
Speaker 1: didn't get credit for no hitter? I believe you're correct
Speaker 1: about it. So you're Andy Hawkins. I just stepped right
Speaker 1: into with Andy. Wasn't he with wasn't it Yankees or
Speaker 1: White Sox? Something like that? All right? What did you
Speaker 1: learn to? No, you don't get your microphone on mc loven.
Speaker 1: Would you learn if you leave your mic open by
Speaker 1: accident and just drop it, don't explain it? Seeton? Would
Speaker 1: you learn to a classic SoundBite? Paul? Would you learn
