I've only done football and basketball, and 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: it's constant action person pretty much, and so it's just 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: your ability to understand what's happening and get the words 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: out of your mouth. But baseball, there is a lot 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: of time to kill in baseball with storytelling and anecdotes 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: Which I think would be better. I wish i'd done 46 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: that too, And I just I love the game of 47 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: baseball so much too, because I would do basketball and football. 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: Like you said, I was doing color in football. I 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: was doing this big high school program in Springfield, Illinois, 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: that our little station was the what do you call it? 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: Flagship station? 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: This was a long time ago, gladys. He's harkening back 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: then play by play or color for a football football game. 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: I was mostly there to set up the gear and 55 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: make sure it worked. But so the play by play 56 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: guy was actually quite good, very good, so he could 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: rest his voice now and again. I was the color commentator, 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: and I liked football, but I didn't know much about it, 59 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: and so I'd be like, yeah, boy, that sure was 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: a good run. 61 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: He busted right through the middle. I mean he didn't 62 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: need to. I mean, it's just no need for that. 63 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: You're sure right about that. And at one point some 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: of the fans who would be listening at the game 65 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: got a little hostile, like who is this guy? Why 66 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: is he the color commentator? He's not a football expert. 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: And I'm like, do you have any idea what I'm 68 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: being paid? How cheap all of this is. That guy's 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: getting twenty bucks. I'm getting like ten, And they just 70 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: need me to set up the gear and ask me 71 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: to do this. I know I'm not an expert. I 72 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: don't want to be here, but he needed ten Bucks. 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: Maybe a better story is we weren't doing play by 74 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: play in the radio. We were doing court side play 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: by play for tennis. Remember we did that? 76 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that sucked so bad. Were the PA announcers? 77 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: Were we at mixed ninety six? 78 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: I don't yes. 79 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: So this was before you even knew us, Michael. We 80 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: had to do play by play for some professional tennis 81 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: and it was just horrific, mostly because the guy we 82 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: were doing it for, we couldn't figure out what he wanted, 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: so he was a christ overbearing nut. He acted like 84 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: he wanted us to make funny comments in between shots, 85 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: but then in time we would The players would get 86 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: mad us for talking too much. 87 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: They're professional tennis players. This sounds great, Oh it was horrible. 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: It's so stressful. 89 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: I hated every second of it. 90 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: Oh they yell at us, what about this? What about this? 91 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: We're like, we've never heard that phrase in our lives. 92 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: Abouts I know something about tennis, but it's exactly sure. 93 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: What I never understood what they wanted out of us 94 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: was the problem. 95 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: Everything we did was wrong and just people yelling at us, 96 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: and it's just ridiculous. I don't think it was a 97 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: very long time ago friends. I wouldn't do that now 98 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: for fifty thousand dollars a game, well, i'd think about it. 99 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know. I think I might have been 100 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: solo on this. Did I have a color? 101 00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: It must have been. 102 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: And I think I was solo doing community college basketball 103 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: for a year. And uh, I mean I'm a basketball fan, 104 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: but I mean I'm not an x's and o's expert. 105 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: So it was it was a lot of ad libbing. 106 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: If you were if you were watching the game and 107 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: listening to me at the same time, it wouldn't have 108 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: matched up very well. I think if you're only listening, 109 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: you probably were okay. But if you're watching and listening, 110 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: you thought what right? And if you were watching and 111 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: you'd like you knew x'es and o's yeah, and listening, 112 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: you'd think this guy has no idea. One thing I 113 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: noticed right off the bat is and I had to 114 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: I eventually talked to the coach about it. I had 115 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: no idea the distances. So if a guy is standing here, 116 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: how far a shot is that? Is that ten feet 117 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: or twenty feet or because you know, I want to 118 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: be able to say twenty footer from the outside or 119 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: whatever I have any idea. 120 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: So I finally nailed that down, but wow, you were 121 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: worse than me. 122 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: And knowing the players on your own team, you know, 123 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: you do a whole season, you get to know them 124 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: by site, in their name. But you'll roll into a 125 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: town and you got a new roster of players you 126 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: never heard, and you don't. You gotta quickly figure out 127 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: because you can't just keep saying the No. Number eight 128 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: with the ball. That doesn't do any good for whoever's listening. 129 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: Or look down your list, that's. 130 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: Jones with the because Jones has passed it to Smith 131 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: de Brown by the time you find Jones on the list, 132 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: and now you're way behind h guy shot and he 133 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: made the shot. Anyway, That's why you no good If 134 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: you don't, if you've never done it, you don't appreciate 135 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: like listening to a hockey call or basketball. These guys 136 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: they have everything absolutely memorized, and they work really hard 137 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: to do that. They do. 138 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: I have friends who do that, and they put in 139 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: so much prep time, so you're not scanning the list 140 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who somebody is or or or 141 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: anything else. But uh, the one that always stuck about 142 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: out of my mind is we would travel twice a 143 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: year to Haskell Junior Haskell Indian Junior College, and it 144 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: was a Native American junior college. And at least back then, 145 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still true, they all had 146 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Indian names Native American names on the basketball team. So 147 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: what I said at the ent of this thing, their 148 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: best player was a buffalo Meet was the best player 149 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: on the team, and he usually had the ball, and 150 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: it was him and running deer. 151 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: They only had I think they. 152 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: Had six guys, and in one of the games that 153 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: I did, six of the dudes, two of them filed out. 154 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: So then they only had four. Oh my gosh, so 155 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: they had took one guy off. Yeah. 156 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: Oh, I was young and not gutsy, or I would 157 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: have used some of those jokes probably back in today 158 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: time look not buy six with only twenty time to 159 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: circle the wagons and time to make the lane your reservation. 160 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: Foul on buffalo Meet. 161 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: He's John with the referee, but I think he speaks 162 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: with four tongue because that looked like a fouled me. 163 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: Oh boy, have made you many friends now, But it 164 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: was a lot of buffalo meat running dear with They'll 165 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: be a buffalo meat layoff. But so, yeah, it was 166 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: a lot of that. But then they fouled out and 167 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: they got down. I think eventually they had three At 168 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: the very end of the game, they only had three guys, 169 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: and then there was some conversation, well, do we take 170 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: one off the other team to make it even or 171 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: is that their fault that they don't have enough players 172 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: so it's five on four. 173 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: Or five on three. They just discussed that in the 174 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: middle of the court. I don't forget what they decided. 175 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: Man, that's some small town community college basketball right there 176 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: with eight people in the stands. 177 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, boy. I did high school boys and girls 178 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 2: basketball because I needed the money and I'm a sports fan, 179 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: so I didn't hate it. I think I think it 180 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: was ten bucks to do play by play for a 181 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: game and five bucks to do color commentary, if you 182 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: can imagine. Now, this is in the eighties, so adjusted 183 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: for inflation, that's still nothing. But h and I've told 184 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: the story before. I was doing a girls high school 185 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: basketball game, and you have to understand, and these are 186 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: small towns in central Illinois. You have to understand that 187 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: they were sponsored by you know, Jones' paint store there 188 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: in the little town in Illinois, and you know Jenny's 189 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: dress shop, and you know How's Auto Body or whatever. 190 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 2: These are small towns and you had to keep them 191 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: on your side, so you're not gonna go like Jim 192 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: Rome or well, this is a golf reference. Johnny Miller 193 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: famously as a golf commentator, would would say that guy's choking, 194 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: he's hitting bad shot. That was a terrible shot. He 195 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: was not sunshiny, he would criticize. I couldn't do that 196 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: at all. So famously, somewhat famously, I was doing a 197 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: girls basketball game a couple of small towns and it 198 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: was the score at the half was four to two 199 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: at one tea half. At the half, one team managed 200 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: to put the ball in the bucket twice, one team once, 201 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: and I believe both teams were oh for their free throw. 202 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: So the ball had penetrated the hoop a total of 203 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: three times in a half of basketball. And I'm trying 204 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: to describe this action without being in the least bit 205 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: negative and in fact being positive. Oh, that was an 206 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 2: excellent effort, but it did not go in. The rebound 207 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: taken down going up the other way goes you know, 208 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: Gerard or whatever, little town it was, and oh there 209 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: are some miss on the ten footer. The rebound gathered 210 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,239 Speaker 2: up and Verdin has the ball, and oh. 211 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: That ball almost went high enough to conceivably go in 212 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: the rim. You see, the ball would have to be 213 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: at least higher than the rim to go in if 214 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: I understand my physics correctly. 215 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: The one girl from Girard who's actually made a basket 216 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: has the ball. This is exciting. Oh man, As I recall, 217 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: the offense has really opened up in the second half, 218 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 2: and it ended up being like fourteen to eight or 219 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: something like that. I mean, it was a school just 220 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 2: smorgasboard there in the late going. But oh man, you 221 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: know what a lot of nice people involved. I like 222 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: the guys I was working with. I was making a 223 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: little money. I look back at it kind of fondly. Honestly, 224 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: it wasn't miserable. It was just another challenge. 225 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: Oh that's going to be a charge on Johnson against Buffalo. 226 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: Me tried to push him off his land, but he 227 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: wasn't having it. 228 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, uncomfortable. 229 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 5: Do you guys want to hear the Irish play by play? 230 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 6: Oh? 231 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I have it. I don't know if you see, Yeah, 232 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: what is this, Michael. 233 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 5: This is the Irish Football League and Irish play by 234 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 5: play guys, and their team hasn't been in the finals 235 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: in seventy five years, and they're pretty darn excited. 236 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: Hang on, now, what kind of football are we talking about? 237 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 5: I believe no, I believe it's regular football in Ireland. 238 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 2: There has not been American football in Ireland in for 239 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: seventy five years, not a chance. No, you don't think so? Well, 240 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: I know, so there's there. There's hardly been an American football 241 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: in America for no, there's been anyway. Let's just hear it. 242 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: I'll bet it's soccer whatever. Get it out of there, 243 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: Get it out of there. They haven'ty seconds to do. 244 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 5: We're twenty five yards to the teleg He's got Tommy 245 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 5: don Tommy Conrad's in. 246 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, Tommy Toddy right, Oh my god, five seconds too. 247 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 6: The one guy sounded like a money foot. 248 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 5: He said they caught one. So it has to be 249 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 5: regular football. You can't use your hands in soccer. 250 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: Whatever way they're playing like American football in Ireland for 251 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: seventy five years. 252 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, can't be. And you've taken all 253 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: the fun out of it. 254 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: And everything like that. You've done poorly, all right? Hey, 255 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: and elcers are funny. Joe's doing the research now and 256 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: whether they have American football in Ireland and for how long? 257 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: Key football team? That's Gaelic? All right? Now, I got 258 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 2: to ask what is Gaelic football. It's a fast paced 259 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: Irish team sport combating elements of soccer, rugby and basketball, 260 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: governed by the Gaelic Athletics Association, played by two teams 261 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: of fifteen players on a rectangular grass pitch. As I recall, 262 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: the goal is to score by kicking or punching around 263 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: leather ball into the net three points or over the 264 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: crossbar between upright posts one point. Wow. I'd never heard 265 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 2: of this sport. It sounds kind of fun. 266 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: But it's a combination of soccer, rugby and basketball. Yeah, essentially, 267 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: go on, Michael allowed us to learn something today. Thank you. 268 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 5: Well, I guess that's it.
