Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Basketball. Last night Mike Grizzlies rolled the Warriors
Speaker 1: one thirty four to ninety five without John Morant and
Speaker 1: Golden States still up three games to two. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that coming up. The Bucks. I watched this happen.
Speaker 1: It's one of those where you're watching, you're going the
Speaker 1: Bucks are going to win this. They were down, they
Speaker 1: were down by fourteen, there was like ten minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Yannis goes for what felt like an easy forty and
Speaker 1: the Bucks up three games to two, and that one
Speaker 1: has to hurt for the Boston Celtics. They heat seventy
Speaker 1: six ers Game six Sons at the MAVs. That'll be
Speaker 1: Game six coming up tonight. Very few players who you
Speaker 1: can probably put a team on their back in the
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs down through history. Very few players. Jannis is
Speaker 1: one of them, and last night we saw that Bucks
Speaker 1: up three games to two. And it's no secret he
Speaker 1: is his superstar, but sometimes you watching, you forget just
Speaker 1: how good he is. The Celtics came into that series
Speaker 1: the hottest team in the NBA, an incredible turnaround. Since January,
Speaker 1: they had played a stifling defensive scheme against the Brooklyn Nets,
Speaker 1: kind of embarrassed the Nets and move forward and everybody
Speaker 1: thought with that defense, no Chris Middleton with the Bucks,
Speaker 1: well they'll be able to shut down the Greek freak.
Speaker 1: He's averaging over twenty eight a game in the series,
Speaker 1: and he also plays very good defense. And last night
Speaker 1: it was just enough. Sometimes when you have the better player,
Speaker 1: the best player, the superstar, that can be the edge
Speaker 1: in a playoff series. Here's how it sounded on the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks radio network. Smart dribbles into the front court,
Speaker 1: loses the basketball, holiday comes away with a steel Have
Speaker 1: the Bucks have stolen one? Here at TD Garden and
Speaker 1: Foston mess a stunned house. Watch us on as Milwaukee
Speaker 1: climbs from fourteen down in the second half to take
Speaker 1: the one ten to one oh seven victory. You're up
Speaker 1: five little over four minutes to go. Marcus Smart, the
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year, gets stripped, blocked and stripped
Speaker 1: by Drew Holliday twice back to back plays. It was
Speaker 1: the small things that helped them. Offensive rebounds with Bobby Portis.
Speaker 1: But this is a resilient Milwaukee team and Boston gave
Speaker 1: them just enough of a chance to be able to
Speaker 1: come back and made them pay. The fourteen point lead
Speaker 1: with ten minutes to play, the largest blown fourth quarter
Speaker 1: lead by a Celtic team in the playoffs in more
Speaker 1: than twenty five years. You know, the Grizzlies and the Warriors.
Speaker 1: There was no drama there whatsoever. Memphis had one hundred
Speaker 1: nineteen points through three quarters. That's the most points in
Speaker 1: an NBA playoff game after three quarters since nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Stat of the Days, stat of the Day, past out
Speaker 1: of the day, stat of the day? Du comes that?
Speaker 1: What stat of the day? All of our Status of
Speaker 1: the day brought to you by Panini America, the official
Speaker 1: trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Yes, Paulie, one
Speaker 1: thing that stood out when Marcus Smart gets the ball
Speaker 1: at the very end and he's going for that layup
Speaker 1: and it looks like he had a decent shot before
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday blocked it. But the one thing you've always
Speaker 1: said is I want to get the ball out of
Speaker 1: the star player's hands on defense, and if I lose
Speaker 1: with a second or third tier player, Marcus Smart might
Speaker 1: be the fourth or fifth option on offense. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: it's Tatum Brown and then Al Horford and you know
Speaker 1: it was just a great play. But you always say,
Speaker 1: if I can get the ball to the other guy
Speaker 1: the star's hands, that's a win, Yeah, because that guy's
Speaker 1: not used to taking that shot being in those situations.
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum is used to taking those shots, being the guy,
Speaker 1: the go to guy. And Marcus Smart did not have
Speaker 1: a couple of He had a couple of bad series
Speaker 1: back to back there and it cost him as the
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics lose a game at home and you have
Speaker 1: games coming up tonight. By the way, let me go
Speaker 1: back to Memphis and Golden State. So the game is
Speaker 1: over at a halftime basically, and then you know, it's
Speaker 1: one of those great Popovich moments. It feels like it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, so what we get beat by fifty? Who cares,
Speaker 1: it's just a loss. Let me take my guys off
Speaker 1: the floor. But if I'm a Memphis fan now, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you get John Morant back, I think
Speaker 1: they're still holding out hope that maybe Jock could somehow
Speaker 1: play you force a game seven. Draymond Greene seemed to
Speaker 1: be having a great time, and you know, the Grizzly
Speaker 1: fans are really excited. It's an impressive performance and they
Speaker 1: sent Golden State back home. Everybody's dancing. Then then Draymond
Speaker 1: Greene started dancing. Here is Draymond talking about why he
Speaker 1: was enjoying himself. You know, one thing I don't respect
Speaker 1: is people who only who only bring it when they
Speaker 1: win it. You know, embrace crowds when you win it.
Speaker 1: We call those from runners, not front runners. You know
Speaker 1: we got our ass kid. Yes, all right, it happens,
Speaker 1: but you don't be a front runner. You know, when
Speaker 1: when when you spew it out you got you gotta
Speaker 1: be willing to take it and not hire from it,
Speaker 1: not duck frum and not run from it. Embrace it.
Speaker 1: So I appreciated the crowd tonight on energy that they
Speaker 1: brought to the game. You know, if if they want
Speaker 1: to strict, we're gonna whoop them together. So if I'm
Speaker 1: a Memphis fan, I'm like, wait a minute, shouldn't Draymond
Speaker 1: be bummed out or something? Here? It almost felt like
Speaker 1: Draymond saying, hey, I don't blame you. You guys should celebrate,
Speaker 1: but the series is over and when it goes back
Speaker 1: to Golden State, just sorry, I just want to let
Speaker 1: you guys know. Yeah, whoop it up, come on, have
Speaker 1: a great time, and this will be the last time
Speaker 1: you see your team. Yes, Paul, I saw some people
Speaker 1: criticizing Draymond Green, like you should be more upset about
Speaker 1: the loss. I'm like, man, I love that kind of confidence,
Speaker 1: like we're gonna get one of these next two. It's
Speaker 1: it's a choice by us. Yes, Seaton series is way
Speaker 1: closer though than that. Yeah, because Memphis could have won
Speaker 1: the last game at Golden State that lost by three
Speaker 1: the first the first game of the series was one
Speaker 1: seventeen to one sixteen, second game one oh six to one.
Speaker 1: On one third game the Warriors blew them out one
Speaker 1: forty two to one twelve. But the next game the
Speaker 1: Warriors only won by three. Those are all really close games.
Speaker 1: Does anybody want two pies to one odds Memphis? Seaton
Speaker 1: does Memphis? What Memphis to win the series? Memphis to
Speaker 1: win the series? Yeah, so that would be if if
Speaker 1: Seaton wins by taking Memphis, the other person would get
Speaker 1: two pies. If Seaton loses, he only gets one because
Speaker 1: he's taken such a big underdog. Yes, Piot, I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm in. Does anybody want a piece of the pie.
Speaker 1: Take that. Okay, So you have Golden State losing this series, yes, Paulie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take the Warriors. I'm gonna go out a limb
Speaker 1: here and go with the Warriors. I like it. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you know that's me, mister mister Vegas, mister Vegas,
Speaker 1: mister taker wild Man. That's a good bet. That's a
Speaker 1: good that sounds like something Fritzie would do. He go, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'll take Golden Stage. Technically the Grizzlies have more regular
Speaker 1: season wins. Technically they do. They had a better regular
Speaker 1: season record. There, let's pull question we're gonna go with.
Speaker 1: We got some options for you, Dan, Okay, one, how
Speaker 1: about would you rather blow a fourteen point lead in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to lose or get blown out by
Speaker 1: forty oh One team was dancing at the end of that,
Speaker 1: the other one was crushed. So I would I think
Speaker 1: that loss with the way it ended for Marcus smart
Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's gonna stay, that's gonna hurt,
Speaker 1: that'll leave a mark, and that last play is a
Speaker 1: very mean worthy where Marcus Smarty gets his pocket pick.
Speaker 1: But I would still love to have an acting coach.
Speaker 1: Look at athletes when they're trying to make something and
Speaker 1: just just see how good they are. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: stunt men look at that, like how convincing is that
Speaker 1: when you fall that way, when you react that way.
Speaker 1: I remember they used to have microphones underneath the backboard
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, and you would hear everything
Speaker 1: on the floor, and you know, guys who would go
Speaker 1: to the hoop and that you would just hear this
Speaker 1: blood curdling scream and I thought, godly, they're really hitting
Speaker 1: people hard. And you know, I'm like ten years old.
Speaker 1: I'm going, man, they're hurting people in there, and you
Speaker 1: realize these guys are just trying to draw a foul. Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, we've been talking about the Hall of
Speaker 1: Very Good. Drew Holliday, the point guard. He seems like
Speaker 1: he could be the starting point guard for the NBA
Speaker 1: Hall of Very Good. He's got the perfect resume. He's
Speaker 1: always has averages about sixteen points and seven rebounds. He's
Speaker 1: never led the league in any category whatsoever. He's always
Speaker 1: been a starter, so he's never been like a bench guy.
Speaker 1: And he also has been in only one All Star Game,
Speaker 1: which puts you in a very good category Hall of
Speaker 1: very Good Drew Holliday. Also, his name is confusing to
Speaker 1: look at and say and spell, which makes him it
Speaker 1: hurts his stardom. Threw Holliday, great two way player, always
Speaker 1: a great addition to a trade, always a very good
Speaker 1: Like all right, we'll throw in Drew Holliday. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: now we're talking. I remember saying when they made that
Speaker 1: trade and the Bucks got Drew Holiday, And I remember
Speaker 1: coming in that morning. I go, hey, he's a great
Speaker 1: two way player. And then Seaton goes what And I go, know,
Speaker 1: he's a great two waycause nobody knows Drew Holliday. I said,
Speaker 1: I do. He's a great two way player. And so
Speaker 1: I'm always kind of reminding myself whenever I watched Drew Holiday,
Speaker 1: good or bad. But I came in like I'm the
Speaker 1: biggest Drew Holiday fan in the world. Hey, great two
Speaker 1: way player. Can you be a great two way player
Speaker 1: but not be a great player? Oh? Like multi talented
Speaker 1: but not great at any Yeah, Like Drew Holliday is
Speaker 1: a great two way player, but he's not a great player.
Speaker 1: It feels like that should be an award actually, like
Speaker 1: similar to the sixth Man or something like the greatest
Speaker 1: best best two way player. Yeah, yes, John, you probably
Speaker 1: couldn't refer to them as a great two way player
Speaker 1: and then not acknowledge that he's a great player. You
Speaker 1: have to kind of call him a very good player.
Speaker 1: Maybe he would be a great player if he'd only
Speaker 1: played one way. Oh it's that a too uh. Al
Speaker 1: Horford was kind of quiet last night, wasn't he Traditionally
Speaker 1: he is, Yes, very quiet. I like Drew Holley. One
Speaker 1: of his nicknames is the Druth. When he started playing,
Speaker 1: he made they got that name. I've learned that in
Speaker 1: a while. This program brought to you by Stifle. We
Speaker 1: all have different ideas about success. We achieve it at
Speaker 1: different times in different ways as we strive to reach
Speaker 1: our financial goals. Can't afford to make mistakes, so or
Speaker 1: go it alone? Invest in your success, Invest with a
Speaker 1: Stipele financial adviser, Stephile Nicholas and Company Incorporated Member SIPC
Speaker 1: an n Y see and are there any other poll
Speaker 1: questions there? Sure? How about this one? Genie Buss should
Speaker 1: take the opinions of Hall of Fame basketball players and coaches,
Speaker 1: or ignore everyone and do what she wants. Wow? Bill
Speaker 1: Plashky had to sit down with Genie Buss. They had
Speaker 1: an hour long lunch and she doesn't do many interviews,
Speaker 1: but this one she talked about sort of the state
Speaker 1: of the union with the team. We'll talk about some
Speaker 1: of her comments coming up. Age seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show email address dpat dan Patrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 1: handle a DP show. We reached out to one of
Speaker 1: my former bosses, John Skipper, used to be the president
Speaker 1: of ESPN. I figured that I wanted to get his
Speaker 1: thoughts on how does Fox monetize Tom Brady? How do
Speaker 1: they get their money's worth out of Tom Brady the
Speaker 1: media acquisitions that are going on, because it's going crazy now,
Speaker 1: I guess it's it's probably leveled off. I'm trying to think,
Speaker 1: think if there's anything else out there, maybe a Sunday
Speaker 1: ticket with direct TV in the NFL that feels like
Speaker 1: that's ready to change hands as well. But we'll talk
Speaker 1: to John joining us. Coming up in an hour from now,
Speaker 1: Steve Sands from the Golf Channel will join us to
Speaker 1: talk about what exactly is going on on the PGA Tour.
Speaker 1: Tiger and Phil will be at the PGA Championship. But
Speaker 1: it feels like the future. The PGA is right now
Speaker 1: getting really really interesting thanks to Greg Norman starting this
Speaker 1: Saudi backed golf tour, and people think this is going
Speaker 1: to be like events in Saudi Arabia or around the world.
Speaker 1: There's four events in the United States now. They're going
Speaker 1: to start out in Europe. But you got some of
Speaker 1: these players who are dipping their toes there into you know,
Speaker 1: bigger money pool and some of the big names are
Speaker 1: going to do it. But we'll talk to Steve SAMs
Speaker 1: about that at what it means for the tour now
Speaker 1: and moving forward. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick

Speaker 1: Sports and the Golf Channel on what's happening with the
Speaker 1: PGA Tour and the Saudi Back Tour as well, so
Speaker 1: that'll be coming up a little bit later on tonight.
Speaker 1: He'd seventy six ers. That's Game six. Sons at the
Speaker 1: MAVs will be Game six. We spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time talking about Tom Brady joining Fox eventually when his
Speaker 1: career was over, and we thought the numbers might be
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five million dollars a year, and then
Speaker 1: you realize Fox is bringing him in as a brand
Speaker 1: ambassador and also to do color on their football games.
Speaker 1: And I thought John Skipper one of the brightest people
Speaker 1: I ever encountered in my career, former ESPN CEO president,
Speaker 1: and he's now the co founder and CEO of Metal
Speaker 1: Arc Media, working with Dan Lebotard and John, thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. Your reaction when you first heard the news
Speaker 1: that Fox was going to offer that kind of money
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady, I have to confess my first reaction
Speaker 1: was not about the money, but about potentially how well
Speaker 1: Fox played this right. Everybody was surprised that they let
Speaker 1: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman go. Troy Aikman was surprised
Speaker 1: that they had not even really been in touch with
Speaker 1: him about it, and I think perhaps this explains it right.
Speaker 1: They planned all along that they were going to get Brady.
Speaker 1: I have no idea if that's right, by the way.
Speaker 1: But that's the first thing I thought is, Wow, look
Speaker 1: how well they played this. They they're going to get
Speaker 1: the goat into the booth. How do you hide something
Speaker 1: like that, John, I have no idea, though I am
Speaker 1: here somewhere in the Midwestern Witness Protection program, so it
Speaker 1: is possibly keep secrets. And look to your first point,
Speaker 1: it is a lot of money, and it raises the
Speaker 1: inevitable question how you justify spending quite so much money.
Speaker 1: It's not because of ratings. It does not have any
Speaker 1: effect on the ratings, and I've never had anybody show
Speaker 1: me any data to dispute that. This is more about
Speaker 1: just what you were talking about, Pride a brand ambassador.
Speaker 1: Gee will take our important advertisers by the booth to
Speaker 1: see Tom Brady. Gee. I suspect he will see him
Speaker 1: at the upfront presentations at some point in not too
Speaker 1: distant future, so you can make a justification for it.
Speaker 1: But it's not about ratings or because more people will watch,
Speaker 1: or even because it will be a better or worse broadcast.
Speaker 1: It's just about the jazz of having Tom Brady. But
Speaker 1: also I was wondering, and it seems like an obvious
Speaker 1: question and John. But I don't think many people are
Speaker 1: asking is Tom Brady gonna be any good as an analyst?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it matters other than there'll be a
Speaker 1: little bit of embarrassment. Looks he's a smart guy, he's charming.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he'll be that. To me. The interesting the
Speaker 1: judgment of whether it's gonna be any good? Is he
Speaker 1: going to provide insight? They can provide insight and a
Speaker 1: number of things right. One of them is and Tony
Speaker 1: Romo gets credit for being spectacular about this, right, which
Speaker 1: is insight into what play is going to be called,
Speaker 1: why it's being played. I think Tom will do pretty
Speaker 1: well there. The other insight you want is what is
Speaker 1: it like? What are the players like? Who's a good guy,
Speaker 1: who's a bad guy? Is Tom Brady really going to
Speaker 1: be willing to say anything controversial? I suspect he will
Speaker 1: be carefully. He's a very guarded guy. Right. If you
Speaker 1: think about the life he leads and how he manages
Speaker 1: the information that comes out of his mouth, he's pretty already.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be controversy. All the
Speaker 1: things to be provocated, he won't be any Charles Barkley right,
Speaker 1: And that's what you like, is somebody who's fun, insightful
Speaker 1: that you want to sit with, so he'll be okay.
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be a disaster. We talked about
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago. Charles Barkley might be
Speaker 1: the most valuable member of the sports media, right you agree, Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. And I think there's only three or four
Speaker 1: people in the history of broadcasting who you genuinely can
Speaker 1: say that people tune in to see them. Right. The
Speaker 1: late great John Madden, who recently passed, was one of
Speaker 1: those guys. Barkley right now is the guy in all
Speaker 1: of sports you can say people will turn in to
Speaker 1: see him. Did you try to get Berkeley at ESPN? Absolutely? Absolutely.
Speaker 1: There's almost nobody who's really really good. We didn't try
Speaker 1: to get. The biggest issue at ESPN was and you
Speaker 1: know this, so we'll have a little fun with this,
Speaker 1: is ESPN wants you to work to down mark. We
Speaker 1: were we were, we weren't willing to pay. I'm once
Speaker 1: you remember talking to Shaq, who's a very good guy,
Speaker 1: very friendly, and I tried very hard to convince him
Speaker 1: you don't want to be the second field of Shack
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to Charles. Come over to ESPN. You'll be
Speaker 1: the star. And he said, I already talked to Charles,
Speaker 1: and Cheryls said, all I gotta do is show up
Speaker 1: and I don't have to rehearse that. I don't have
Speaker 1: to be on Sports Center. I feel first take. I
Speaker 1: don't have to be on PCI. I don't have to
Speaker 1: be on NBA Countdown. I can just work, come in,
Speaker 1: sit down and chew it up. And so, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was hard to get him. I remember talking to Barkley.
Speaker 1: Barkley said, hey, ESPN is interested in signing me. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, let me tell you why you shouldn't
Speaker 1: do it. Where you're gonna have to go every day
Speaker 1: or every other day, or you know you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to be on ESPN Radio, you're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: on you go through the car wash there. You gotta
Speaker 1: known the weather is going to be an issue. You
Speaker 1: go through the car wash there. And I said, you
Speaker 1: could do that, or I'm gonna guess TNT is just
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, just show up and that's got some fun.
Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, this shouldn't be a hard decision. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's right, And we knew we were operating with that disadvantage.
Speaker 1: Of course, the other worked for us because we had
Speaker 1: so much programming to film, We needed guests and we
Speaker 1: and we cared a lot about getting our money to work.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the disadvantage that I do not blame
Speaker 1: Shack or Charles. They're a city where they should be.
Speaker 1: By the way, let me say another thing, Dan, which
Speaker 1: thank you'll agree with. For all the worrying about preparation
Speaker 1: and all, the best show in some ways the best
Speaker 1: sports studio show and all of sports is that Charles Barkley, Shaq,
Speaker 1: Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson's show. And it's because they looked
Speaker 1: like they're having fun, they know what they're talking about,
Speaker 1: they're willing to be provocative, they're willing to to mash
Speaker 1: it up. And uh, it's great. Well, john you're saying
Speaker 1: it right to my face that that's the best studio show.
Speaker 1: And I thought that I was part of the best
Speaker 1: studio show. I mean, were you were part of the
Speaker 1: best sports information studio shows? Not the Game Today pre
Speaker 1: and posts and halftime show actually make that distinct. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, fair enough the Manning cast. Where are we
Speaker 1: going with imitators? With the Manning Cast in your opinion, Um,
Speaker 1: I think Manning Cast is trifically entertaining what we're what
Speaker 1: we're doing is pretending that everything in the booth is great.
Speaker 1: We're doing the game the way we should do it.
Speaker 1: So if we're gonna have fun or we're gonna not
Speaker 1: call every play, it's got to be an alternative broadcast.
Speaker 1: I personally think it's it's a funny attempt to get
Speaker 1: actually different voices on the game, who aren't just calling
Speaker 1: third and eight and they turned around to hand the
Speaker 1: ball off. But every I think what will be interesting
Speaker 1: is when somebody does that in the in the first booth,
Speaker 1: not in an alternative booth. Oh okay, so you're tuning
Speaker 1: into that game and this is the game, it's not
Speaker 1: alternative programming. Yes, huh okay. Yeah. I tried to do
Speaker 1: that one time with Tony Kornheiser and the football gods.
Speaker 1: The football gods were bailed. It was a little like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, when Paris took took Helen Detroit, all of
Speaker 1: the football guys sent their forces in ships across the
Speaker 1: Wine dark Sea and tried to execute Tony. What's the
Speaker 1: craziest idea? You almost succeeded with at ESPN that you
Speaker 1: were going to try. Do you remember anything that was
Speaker 1: outside the box? I think I think that Tony Corners
Speaker 1: of the biggest example, right, we were trying to interject
Speaker 1: into a booth comedy and different kind of flavor and
Speaker 1: it did not work. Bubbay. Tony did great work. It
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. It just there wasn't an overall general acceptance
Speaker 1: that that was the right way to go. So I
Speaker 1: and let me stipulate too, I didn't produce a lot
Speaker 1: of football games, so it's possible. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. He's John Skipper, the co founder and
Speaker 1: CEO of metal Ark Media with Dan Lebotard, former president
Speaker 1: of ESPN. Give me a sport that you would invest
Speaker 1: in right now if it was a stock aside from
Speaker 1: the NFL. You got another sport, sure, and I did.
Speaker 1: And in this case I just said, you know, I
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Here's the case where I was not wrong,
Speaker 1: which is soccer, right. Soccer? I just read something the
Speaker 1: other day that suggested is now the fourth most popular
Speaker 1: sport in the country, headed to number three behind football
Speaker 1: and basketball. And it is of course by now, you
Speaker 1: don't need nostradamus to tell you this. Everybody knows this right,
Speaker 1: NBC just pay a large sum of money and being
Speaker 1: increased things Premier League ESPN Ball of Leigua and Bundesliga.
Speaker 1: The Champions League is a smash from CBS soccer. Soccer's
Speaker 1: coming and other than football and basketball, everybody should watch out.
Speaker 1: The other one is, of course, we saw this weekend
Speaker 1: and this one I was wrong, and that's F one
Speaker 1: F one's coming and they've done a fabulous job. The
Speaker 1: driver to survive show is help. But to have a
Speaker 1: sport grow that fast in the United States with no
Speaker 1: US participants is pretty remarkable. No participants at the high
Speaker 1: school at the highest level, and you got a younger
Speaker 1: demo that's watching Formula one, and you know, you got
Speaker 1: the beautiful people showed up for it presents itself well,
Speaker 1: you got celebrities, you got the weather. You know you're
Speaker 1: you're racing on the same streets that people can drive
Speaker 1: on on any other day. So there is some fascination
Speaker 1: with that. But baseball has been good at the local level, John, Yes,
Speaker 1: Baseball's I'm not denigrating any other sport. Baseball thrives at
Speaker 1: the local level. It thrives as a spectacular daily sport.
Speaker 1: I talked to a buddy of mine yesterday. What was
Speaker 1: he doing is going to the white size game in
Speaker 1: the afternoon. So the local adherents are like daily communicants,
Speaker 1: and it works very well that way. But should they
Speaker 1: be worried Should the commissioner be worried about the national audience,
Speaker 1: national perception of baseball as his sport? Of course they
Speaker 1: should be right, and there are some solves for it. Right.
Speaker 1: The issue is there have not been enough national games.
Speaker 1: One of the great benefits of the NFL, and it's
Speaker 1: it's contracted schedule, and scarcely your games. Is everybody that country.
Speaker 1: You can see every team you I defy you absent
Speaker 1: some very expencive absent MLB dot Com or whatever the
Speaker 1: digital package is called. You can't see the Marlins and
Speaker 1: the Padres play if you live in Chicago or Cleveland
Speaker 1: unless you have a couple hundred dollars package. Nobody sees
Speaker 1: any of the baseball teams until the postseason except the
Speaker 1: Yankees and the Red Sox and the Dodgers and a
Speaker 1: couple of bows. Before I let you go, would you
Speaker 1: have signed Tom Brady to that deal if you were
Speaker 1: at ESPN, and would you have made an offer like that? No?
Speaker 1: But ESPN reportedly did you know they were involved in
Speaker 1: the sweepstakes for Tom Brady? They were involved, And someone
Speaker 1: else is running ESPN and doing a fine job. But
Speaker 1: when I was there, I did not believe that I
Speaker 1: would never paid this kind of money for those athletes.
Speaker 1: What kind of money would you have paid that money
Speaker 1: for Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Look, once again, every
Speaker 1: time anybody came up, I went by and talk to it.
Speaker 1: I went by and spoke with Joe Bubb, and we
Speaker 1: would love to have had Joe Bubb, but we were
Speaker 1: not willing to pay the amount of money it would
Speaker 1: take to get him. And then we tried to bridge
Speaker 1: the gap by doing what we talked about at the beginning.
Speaker 1: Right then we'll give you fifteen other things to do.
Speaker 1: Then maybe we could justify and remember too, in a
Speaker 1: thousand talent and every time we hired somebody, everybody else
Speaker 1: felt their salary need to be recalibrating. So it's a
Speaker 1: different beast. ESPN's a different mechanism. But they want to play,
Speaker 1: and they're right, they want to play in the in
Speaker 1: the top level game with their NFL football and it's
Speaker 1: probably a good idea. Well, it feels like ESPN spent
Speaker 1: all of its money on just getting these leagues as
Speaker 1: opposed to the talent, whereas some of the other networks,
Speaker 1: you know, they were forced to spend a little bit
Speaker 1: more on their tent. Know, Tony Romo kind of changed everything,
Speaker 1: didn't he, Yes, yes he did. And look again, Yes,
Speaker 1: being is overwhelmingly about volume right the point hand, by
Speaker 1: the way, they're buying the right thing. I have to choose.
Speaker 1: Am I going to buy more rights? We're I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pay play Playboy playing Analyst more money. I would choose
Speaker 1: more rights. Yeah. John, It's great to talk to you
Speaker 1: as always, and I hope you're doing well. Thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. Okay, thank you, Dana. I look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing you in the neighborhood one day. Well maybe we'll
Speaker 1: show up at Lebotard's next wedding. Oh please please, No, no,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have any more? Yes, no, no, this
Speaker 1: is the one and none. Love is the anniversary party.
Speaker 1: The anniversary party. How's that? My my bad? I'm thank you, Jo.
Speaker 1: That's John Skipper, that former Boss co founder CEO of
Speaker 1: Metal Arc Media. You're you're a little tired. I spent
Speaker 1: an hour on the phone with LeBatard last night and
Speaker 1: he's got a lovely wife. How's he doing, Danny LeBatard?
Speaker 1: He's great, He's great, but he's trying to build something
Speaker 1: that you know, we we've been building for a long
Speaker 1: time and I've been at sounding board whenever he's needed
Speaker 1: anybody or you know, we've talked about it and struggles
Speaker 1: that you have, and you kind of feel like you're
Speaker 1: on an island. Not many people choose to leave ESPN,
Speaker 1: but Lebatard's in good hands, got John Skipper, there a
Speaker 1: lot of talent, and uh, I think very highly a LeBatard. Yes, point,
Speaker 1: do you hear what Lebotard said yesterday about the Tom
Speaker 1: Brady signing or the day before? How do you pay
Speaker 1: on what's four hundred million dollars for someone who's never
Speaker 1: said anything interesting ever? Well, lately though vacation, Tom has
Speaker 1: been interested Tampa Top Yeah, Tampa Tom is interesting. Bob
Speaker 1: Ryan came out with some strong comments. He was with
Speaker 1: Rich Eyes and on his show and said, basically, I
Speaker 1: hope Fox knows what they're getting with Tom Brady, that
Speaker 1: you know he is not going to be a good analyst.
Speaker 1: It's one of those where somebody says, Hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: spend all this money. We're gonna buy this car. It's unbelievable,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be incredible, and then you go, can you
Speaker 1: drive it? No, but I'll learn that's basically what you have.
Speaker 1: We're gonna spend all this money on Tom Brady, We're
Speaker 1: gonna bring him in and then can you can you
Speaker 1: do games? I don't know, sure, figure it out? And
Speaker 1: even John Skipper sinking, you know that that would be
Speaker 1: one of my questions, but he said it won't matter.
Speaker 1: And I also think sometimes and I was I was
Speaker 1: told that I was incorrect in my approach when we
Speaker 1: were talking about certain members of the media, and do
Speaker 1: you want to have them in the studio that you
Speaker 1: get to see them more, because when you watch a game,
Speaker 1: you don't you would get to hear Tom Brady's voice,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get to see him, but the pregame, the halftime,
Speaker 1: in the post you would be able to capitalize. You know,
Speaker 1: Fox did this as well. They spent a lot of
Speaker 1: money on their analyst in the studio with Terry Bradshaw,
Speaker 1: Howie Long Michael Strahan. They had Collins word, Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of money there. Now, you did
Speaker 1: have Troy out there with the game, and maybe they
Speaker 1: did it perfectly, but you it feels like a guy
Speaker 1: who looks like Tom Brady. You would want him on
Speaker 1: the set. I could get more out of him there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mars Tom brady suits are going to be immaculate and
Speaker 1: he's gonna be dressed to a t. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: the camera on him as much as possible. Oh, we
Speaker 1: missed that touchdown pass at Yeah, look at Tom As.
Speaker 1: We missed that touchdown pass. Yeah. And you're gonna see
Speaker 1: coming back from commercial break. Andrew Marshawn, the sports media
Speaker 1: critic reporter, joined us yesterday and he said, you're gonna
Speaker 1: see that coming back from commercial break. It'll be not
Speaker 1: an establisher of the stadium or anything. It'll be Tom
Speaker 1: Brady there with Kevin burkhard as we welcome you back
Speaker 1: to Arrowhead Stadium. Tom. Yes, you know how they open
Speaker 1: the games or they open the coverage and of the
Speaker 1: pregame shows and they show like the quarterback walking in
Speaker 1: with his headset and stuff like that. Instead like if
Speaker 1: they have to do a Jaguars game instead, Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: walking with his headset, Tom Brady here to call Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence and the Jaguars and Tom walking in with his crew.

Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor and listen to Straight Fire with
Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. We were talking about Tom Brady, that
Speaker 1: personality going to put him in the booth there. What
Speaker 1: are you going to say? I mean, he's been talking football,
Speaker 1: speaking football for thirty years. It's just the language. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you get caught up. It's like when you go into
Speaker 1: home depot and you talk to a guy and he goes,
Speaker 1: well are you talking about this or that or this
Speaker 1: or that? And you're going, I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. And then I goes, you know, you got
Speaker 1: to speak, you know, down to me. Tom is going
Speaker 1: to have to do that. Remember, we thought Tony Romo
Speaker 1: was not going to be successful because he wasn't a
Speaker 1: good talker in Dallas. After the game, steten, do your
Speaker 1: Tony Romo impersonation. That's frustrating, disappointing, just disappointing, frustrating. Right now,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, and that's all we knew of Tony Romo,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Tony Romo changes broadcasting. I
Speaker 1: don't know what Brady is going to be like, but
Speaker 1: I think the potential is fascinating. Yes, Pony, we were
Speaker 1: also us instant the break like Brady's a preparation maniac.
Speaker 1: I could see him talking to Kevin Burkhardt, the play
Speaker 1: by play man, say come on down for a week,
Speaker 1: let's work on this on our own, let's do let's
Speaker 1: get to know each other's. Brady's gonna have at least
Speaker 1: a year and a half to get ready for this,
Speaker 1: maybe two and a half years. Pat Riley was an
Speaker 1: analyst for NBC when NBC had the NBA. Pat Riley
Speaker 1: built a set in his garage so he would be
Speaker 1: he would get acclimated of sitting on the set with
Speaker 1: Bob Costas. He was maniacal about his preparation as well
Speaker 1: springing Steve SAMs, one of the great voices with NBC Sports,
Speaker 1: played by play host and interviewer. And we'll get to
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour in a moment. Let me get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Tom Brady the broadcaster. You know what, Dan,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it when you were just talking
Speaker 1: about it. And we had Tiger in the booth, David
Speaker 1: Ferdy and I on NBC in December at the Hero
Speaker 1: World Challenge. Tiger the greatest player of his generation, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady the greatest player of his generation, and we were
Speaker 1: all wondering, how's this going to play out? And we
Speaker 1: had Tiger in the booth Dan for probably forty forty
Speaker 1: five minutes live golf going on. His golf acument is
Speaker 1: incredibly high, just like Tom Brady's. His preparation is, you know, unmatched,
Speaker 1: just like Tom Brady's And we all thought, how's this
Speaker 1: going to work out? And and Tiger was fabulous. Dan,
Speaker 1: he was incredible talking about the players of today versus
Speaker 1: the way he played, the way golf courses are attacked now,
Speaker 1: versus when he was saying his heyday. He was very
Speaker 1: in tune with the guys who were playing in the
Speaker 1: game at the time and the best players in the
Speaker 1: world who were there at the Hero World Challenge, and
Speaker 1: he was fantastic. We were ready to sign him up
Speaker 1: right there back in December, and this was five months ago.
Speaker 1: I think it's potential for Tom Brady, Dan, I, like you,
Speaker 1: you never know how it's going to play out. You
Speaker 1: know he's going to be ready. You know he's going
Speaker 1: to give it as all. You know, he's going to
Speaker 1: work and he's going to prep The question is does
Speaker 1: he have the enthusiasm, does he have the ability to
Speaker 1: go criticize other players who he's played against, coaches he's
Speaker 1: played against, coaches he's played for. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be fascinating. And why wouldn't you if you have the
Speaker 1: money to do it like Fox does, why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: sign Tom Brady. His star power alone is going to
Speaker 1: make people watch. But when you have somebody polarizing like
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is not easy to root for for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. He's got everything and now he got
Speaker 1: he's gonna make even more money after playing football than
Speaker 1: he did when he made you know, three hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars playing football. Yeah, I think that we loved it.
Speaker 1: What make people stars and then tear them down? Is
Speaker 1: that how it works. The analogy in golf would be
Speaker 1: with Tiger. The only person you could possibly compare Tom
Speaker 1: Brady two in today's game is Tiger. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Tiger was fabulous in the booth with us. He was insightful,
Speaker 1: he was entertaining, He told some stories, he said what
Speaker 1: it's like to be these guys. He was allowing the
Speaker 1: audience day to kind of get a little bit of
Speaker 1: an understanding of what Justin Thomas and John rom and
Speaker 1: these great young players are now going through and what
Speaker 1: they're about to go through if they bust that door
Speaker 1: wide open. So if you're Tom Brady and you're on
Speaker 1: Fox and you're standing next you're sitting next to Kevin
Speaker 1: in the booth, and you're in a huge game and
Speaker 1: say it's a cowboy game and Dak Prescott hasn't yet
Speaker 1: won that Super Bowl that everybody is dying for him
Speaker 1: to win, to validate his contract and validate what everybody
Speaker 1: thinks is amazing potential out of Dak Prescott. I'm just
Speaker 1: using him as an example. Dan Tom can tell the
Speaker 1: audience exactly what he's about to go through and what
Speaker 1: he's trying to do, and if he's able to communicate
Speaker 1: that and Tom, by the way, light Tiger Dan has
Speaker 1: become a much better communicator. Seems like he's been freed
Speaker 1: up since he left New England and went down to
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I think that it's worth a shot from Fox.
Speaker 1: And again, he's the biggest star in all of professional football,
Speaker 1: maybe in all of sports. He's recognizable by anybody who's
Speaker 1: never heard of a hockey puck, a basketball or a
Speaker 1: first down line. And I think I think it's worth
Speaker 1: a shot to give Time the money if they have
Speaker 1: the money. Clearly they do, and I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be fascinated to see what type of communicator he
Speaker 1: is with a headset on and not just with a
Speaker 1: microphone in his face being asked questions by people like
Speaker 1: US Steve SAMs, Golf Channel, NBC Sports, I wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to you about this live tour, the Saudi Back
Speaker 1: Tour and what this is going. Let's say nobody knows
Speaker 1: anything about this topic. The casual fan, what would you
Speaker 1: tell them about this tour and the impact potential impact
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour. Well, to the casual fan, I
Speaker 1: would say, if you've heard of the USFL, it's not
Speaker 1: analogous because one's international for the most part. In one
Speaker 1: was completely domestic. The USFL try to go against the NFL.
Speaker 1: Years ago. They had herschel Walker, they had Kelvin Bryant,
Speaker 1: they had guys like that, and it didn't work. What
Speaker 1: the golf is trying to do is compete against the
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. And the PGA Tour is the biggest and baddest, wealthiest,
Speaker 1: most prestigious golf tour in the world, and they are
Speaker 1: trying to stave off any type of competition, and that's
Speaker 1: what Lived Golf is trying to do. They are backed
Speaker 1: by Saudi dollars and they have a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Someone told me the other day it's kind of like
Speaker 1: playing poker with someone Dan and sitting across the table,
Speaker 1: and that guy has all the chips. Clearly, they have
Speaker 1: the money and they have the backing. Whether or not
Speaker 1: they'll be able to get the players and be able
Speaker 1: to get this thing started to compete literally compete against
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. We'll have to wait and see. But
Speaker 1: also Greg Norman is heading this up, and it feels
Speaker 1: like Greg Norman is really really mad at the PGA Tour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been mad at the PGA Tour for a long time.
Speaker 1: If you remember all the way back to know you're
Speaker 1: a golfing You and I text back and forth and
Speaker 1: new each other for years for the casual sports fan.
Speaker 1: But for the diard golf fan they know this. But
Speaker 1: for the casual sportsman who was listening and watching your
Speaker 1: show right now, Dan, way back when twenty five thirty
Speaker 1: years ago, Greg Norman, who's from Australia, huge personality, was
Speaker 1: an incredibly popular and polarizing figure in golf. He wanted
Speaker 1: to start a big world tour. The PGA Tour thwarted
Speaker 1: that off and they built what became the World Golf
Speaker 1: Championship Events, a three or four golf tournament series that
Speaker 1: were played around the world. And one of them is
Speaker 1: still played today. Actually the match play in Austin, Texas
Speaker 1: wasn't played in March, and Greg has had an interesting
Speaker 1: relationship with the PGA Tour ever since, and clearly he
Speaker 1: is now on the live golf side as opposed to
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour side. Currently. Was Phil Mickelson suspended? Was
Speaker 1: he in time out and now he's allowed to play
Speaker 1: in the PGA Championship. I don't know if he was
Speaker 1: suspended officially. You were told at the players that he
Speaker 1: took a break and that the PGA Tour accepted that
Speaker 1: if he wanted to play. I'm sure that he could
Speaker 1: go and take the correct routes, have the correct communication
Speaker 1: with the PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, and get back
Speaker 1: onto the golf course competing at a PGA Tour level.
Speaker 1: You know, Phil, as you've documented many times, got himself
Speaker 1: in some trouble with some of the things that he
Speaker 1: said and needed to take a time out, and not
Speaker 1: just a twenty day. He needed to take a full
Speaker 1: and he clearly has taken a full. He has not
Speaker 1: competed in a long long time. PGA Tour going to
Speaker 1: be able to keep these like you're I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what that relationship is. Like, you don't want
Speaker 1: to anger these players. You still need these players for
Speaker 1: your tour. Yeah, can they suspend people? Fine? Pete Like,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the end game will be here of how you can
Speaker 1: keep everybody happy ish on the PGA Tour. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that it's very dicey. It's a tricky spot
Speaker 1: for the PGA Tour. But maybe it's not. Maybe what
Speaker 1: they did a couple of days ago Dan, by not
Speaker 1: allowing their players to have their releases to go play
Speaker 1: in the first live golf event next month outside of London,
Speaker 1: maybe that's the power play that the PGA Tour thinks
Speaker 1: is the best move to keep its players. We've heard
Speaker 1: the players in the last couple of days at the
Speaker 1: a t t by Er Nelson outside of Dallas Dan
Speaker 1: say things like, Hey, if you want to go play,
Speaker 1: you can play. There's nothing stopping the players Dan from
Speaker 1: going to play the live golf. What they would have
Speaker 1: to do is either lose their PGA Tour rights in
Speaker 1: other words, leave the PGA Tour. So now they're completely
Speaker 1: independent from the PGA tour, But the PGA Tour is
Speaker 1: a player organization, Dan, The players make their own by laws.
Speaker 1: If they want to change the rules, if they want
Speaker 1: to change the by us, they can do that. Will
Speaker 1: they do that? I don't think they will. The PGA
Speaker 1: Tour has been such an amazing avenue for all of
Speaker 1: these players. We heard Tigers say in December at the
Speaker 1: Hero World Challenge that he has no interest in live golf,
Speaker 1: that he is completely backing Jay Monahan and the PGA Tour.
Speaker 1: And then do they need to make a couple of
Speaker 1: tweaks to appease the star players, Dan? Do they need
Speaker 1: to raise the purses or change the way things are done,
Speaker 1: especially for the best players in the world. Yes, they do,
Speaker 1: and the PGA Tour recognizes that. But if the players
Speaker 1: want to go play, Dan, they can play. But it's
Speaker 1: kind of like freedom of speech, Dan. You know everybody
Speaker 1: thinks freedom of speech covers everything. Well, it doesn't cover everything.
Speaker 1: And there are consequences to things that you say. And
Speaker 1: if you go play live golf and you're a PGA
Speaker 1: Tour member, there will be consequences. And yes, the PGA
Speaker 1: Tour can suspend the players. Great to talk to you
Speaker 1: as always, Steve, thanks for joining us. My pleasure Dan anytime.
Speaker 1: Steve say ends NBC Sports Played by Play also works
Speaker 1: Golf Channel. I think Tiger has given his opinion on this.
Speaker 1: You know, Phil was laying low. I was told he
Speaker 1: was suspended or asked not to play. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that means. Are you suspended? No, he wasn't suspended.
Speaker 1: He was just told not to play. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a suspension to me. You're okay to join us. We'd
Speaker 1: prefer it if you didn't. Scott and Tampa joints us
Speaker 1: Hi Scott Heydun, thanks for taking my call on six
Speaker 1: foot with a robust two sixty. All right, thank you.
Speaker 1: M question about this, this one of the tour of
Speaker 1: the tours. Here say Tiger comes back and win the
Speaker 1: majors before it's all done, but a third of the
Speaker 1: players that he used to compete in another tour. Do
Speaker 1: they put an aster resk next to those championship titles?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Thanks for the phone call, Um.
Speaker 1: I think you're still going to have these players playing
Speaker 1: in the majors. They may not be playing in you know,
Speaker 1: the eighty four Lumber Open or something, but you know,
Speaker 1: they're looking at the amount of money that you can make.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some obscene first place checks, oh like
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars if they have the money and you
Speaker 1: follow the money. These players are going to play. You know,
Speaker 1: there's an event. The first one is in Portland. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna have events in the United States competing against
Speaker 1: events in the United States. It's a tricky situation right
Speaker 1: now for what's going on with the PGA Tour. Tianna
Speaker 1: in California joins us. Tianna, Good morning, what's on your mind? Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Dan? How are you great? I'm glad to
Speaker 1: hear you're on the name from COVID. First time I
Speaker 1: think I am. Yeah, Yeah, you're you're on the uphill
Speaker 1: fling of it. What what do you have for me?
Speaker 1: First time? Long time? Five three one fifteen. I was
Speaker 1: calling to see if you might want to come to
Speaker 1: my graduation on June third from the Dan Patrick School
Speaker 1: of Sportscasting. I would love to, but I might have
Speaker 1: to zoom that graduation. Okay, all right, that that sho
Speaker 1: that will do? Did you U? When are you you graduating?
Speaker 1: An online student? Okay? Great? How would you rate your experience.

Speaker 1: instructors to ask if they'll show up for graduation too.
Speaker 1: Well they will and uh, Tiana, thank you for the
Speaker 1: phone call and congratulations graduating from my school to sportscasting.
Speaker 1: We have probably three hundred online students. We started out
Speaker 1: with five students total. We have close four fifty right now,
Speaker 1: and that's in three and a half years. They've done
Speaker 1: a wonderful job. Yeah, Polly with nil, you should get
Speaker 1: elon musk and start the full Sale football team. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: if I could offer a name, image and like this,
Speaker 1: and you guys could get paid to go to the

Speaker 1: to a full Sale. H oh look who called in?
Speaker 1: It's National Limerick Day, Ryan and Honolulu joins us. Hi Ryan, Hey, Ryan,
Speaker 1: and thanks for playing herd. I hope you feel better.
Speaker 1: They say lobster is the best medicine, so please listen.
Speaker 1: First day. Wait, wait, Ryan, are you on speakerphone? No?
Speaker 1: Why what's going on? Good? Are you in a bathroom? No? No?
Speaker 1: All right, sounds I got to quick limericks for you, Dan,
Speaker 1: But I onlider flamericks, not lamericks. Okay. That once was
Speaker 1: a girl named Jenny Batchi, who Dane thought was his
Speaker 1: perfect BATCHI. Dan drove to her dorm. That was poor form.
Speaker 1: She slammed the door and closed the LATCHI all right,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, it still hurts, It still hurts. What happened?
Speaker 1: Jenny BATCHI drove up to moment's notice, I late at
Speaker 1: night with my guys and are like, we should drive
Speaker 1: to Miami of Ohio and let's go see Jenny BATCHI. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then you show up and you go, oh, there's
Speaker 1: Jenny and she's with another guy. This was a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I was just sitting there in the area and I
Speaker 1: thought that the sale as serious Jenny, I love you,
Speaker 1: never mind as a long ride back home. Huh, Ryan?
Speaker 1: What else do you have? All right? Is the back
Speaker 1: road flamery? They once were demand from Nantucket watching Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick showfield his passion bucket. But Fritzie bought him to death,
Speaker 1: and with his last breath he said, till the back
Speaker 1: road to suck it go. That one's good. I like it,
Speaker 1: bloop bloop. Indeed,
