Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan Ns
Dan Patrick Show a surprise meet Wednesday. By the way,
we brought in a chef from Miller Lite Chef Mancuso,
smoked beef tenderloin, tacos and char grilled Miller Lite salsavere day.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Who is it better than we do?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
No body will.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Talk to the Great Johnny Bench in a moment. Here
a couple of headlines. Nick's an underdog four and a
half point underdogs in Boston tonight, Warriors eleven point underdogs
in Minnesota tonight. Both are game fives. Pete Rose and
the White Sox the nineteen nineteen White Sox taken off
the permanently ineligible list. That was the difference. People thought

(00:47):
it was a lifetime ban and then Pete dying in September,
therefore time to lift the ban. It was a permanently
ineligible it was not a lifetime ban. The commissioner has
since re edited, re edit it, or reframed it to
say now it's the lifetime ban. Pacers close out the Cavaliers,
they win it, and five gentlemen sweep. They like to

(01:09):
call that the Thunders survive a big night from Joker.
They lead three games to two, eight seven seven three.

to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the Dan Patrick Shell. And we say good morning. If
you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.

(01:30):
One hundred and fifty years of greatness and that's where
horses are crowned the oldest tradition in sports, the Preakedness Stakes.
It'll be live on NBC and Peacock coming up this weekend.
Whole question Seaton before we get to Johnny Bench. Yet
we got up there right now. Do you agree with
Rob Manfred's decision? Sixty one percent say yes, they do.

(01:53):
Springing Johnny Bench, the Hall of Famer, Johnny Great, see
you again. Let me ask you the question, do you
agree with what themissioner did yesterday?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I do. I just I think he's done more work
than you can imagine to try to figure this out.
I think it had to be agreed upon by the
Hall of Fame, though, I think that was a question
mark that had to be done Jane is the person
that's basically, you know, whats the sanctification of the Hall

(02:22):
of Fame and that it hopefully all members of the
Hall of Fame, although we know there's been question marks
about it, whether it be peds or whether it be
past history or people that have been elected to the
Hall of Fame. But for the Commissioner, I think I
know personally that I've talked to him. I know there's

(02:42):
others that have talked to him. I know that he's
trying to get the temperature of what it was. I
think the temperature was mixed. I think I think like
the voting is sixty one percent. I think the percentages
were one way or the other with some Hall of Famers.
Do you take a pole of the Hall of Famers,
or you take a poll of the writers, or you
take a poll of just the dan Ettz and I

(03:05):
think you're going to wind well. I mean, they're fans
and they understand what's happened with Pete and with the
Black Sox scandals. I mean the one person I mean,
as you may, as you know, Ted Williams was a
staunch supporter of Shirless show Jackson, and they keep saying well,
there was no evidence against it, and he hit three

(03:28):
something or four hundred, so I guess the feel is.
All I can say is it is a perfect time
for this thing to come out, because right now as
we prepare for the day, I am not in Cincinnati,
but they are honoring Pete at the stadium. There will
be forty two thousand people coming out and maybe more
now that this announcement has been done. But for the

(03:50):
Rose family, I'm extremely happy for them that it's all
somewhat behind us.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Why wait until Pete dies?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, that's I think that there was some concern that
it would He wanted to get into the game of baseball,
as far as what has been talked about. He wanted
to still be a manager or something like that. I
think that created some problems, the fact that whether somebody

(04:22):
would actually hire him at this point or what position
he would be in. And I think there was still okay,
you know, we still have to have a certain caution here.
We got to put up some yellow flags and in
most cases a lot of red flags and make sure
that none of this happens. I really believe it was
a push by so many people. I think the Commissioner's

(04:42):
ruled on it twice. I know Bud Jim Bud Seeley
ruled on it two or three times, and the consensus
was that he was not going to He was permanently
a banned And so I think there's they're cutting hairs
a little bit on whether now that he's deceased.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Now it's okay, you probably know this better than anybody.
How do you think Pete would react today if he
were alive.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
About damn time? What? What took him so long? About
damn time? Uh? No? I think he wanted to He
wanted to be voted on. I think he felt like
he never had that opportunity and everything else, and I
think that was his one one thing. I think he
always believed that had he been on the ballot, that

(05:29):
he would have been voted into the Hall of Fame. Now,
what the what the Hall of Fame has not done,
I think is make a space for Pete in the Hall.
And you know, we we honor different groups of baseball players.
We honored catchers, or we honored ding we honor the
heroes and what did baseball and legends and everything else. Uh,

(05:52):
I think it's a perfect spot for the Hall of
Fame too. In so many ways, and I think you'll
see it in Cincinnati on the board today. I think
to highlight all the things and the person that he
was one hundred and forty five pounds. He was not drafted,
He had to be He had to be had at
a scout, which was an uncle to give him a tryout.
Then he winds up being an All Star at five

(06:12):
different positions, then he's you know, he wins the MVP
of the World Series. These are all things that you
can honor him with and praise him for. And I
think I heard Mike Smith talking about the fact that
and and the other players on MLB talking about the
fact that they were they wanted to be like Pete.

(06:33):
They wanted to play like Pete. They wanted to hit
first slide, they wanted to do all things he was.
He was a persona case personification of hustle and attitude
and love for the game of baseball. And the rules
are the rules, but for Pete, he I think he
should be honored at the Hall of Fame just with video,

(06:53):
but you also tell the story of why and while
why this happened, and what the ramifications are.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I think the immediate reaction from a lot of people
was Pete's going to get into the Hall of Fame.
And I've cautioned my audience to say, they're not going
to vote on this till December of twenty twenty seven.
And there's other guys on that ballot like Steve Garvey
and Louis Tiant and you know some really good players
shoeless Joe Jackson's going to be on there as well.

(07:21):
So it's not a foregone conclusion Pete gets in or
even gets on the ballot. But you know it's going
to be a process here, and people shouldn't think we
can I think.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
We can assume that his name will be there. I
think they there's going to be the need for that
to happen. But I think there's you know, there's you know,
there's guy. You know, they've been on Some of these
guys have been on the ballot for twenty years. I mean,
you know, they keep thinking, or they'll think and you
know famous words of Frank Robinson then Bob Feller and
this isn't for the good, this is for the great

(07:55):
and so and that is exactly the way it was framed.
And so here here we are at this point saying Okay,
you we know Pete Rose great good gosh, he's forty
two hundred and fifty six hits, you know, and you
know all the teams that he helped in all the
World Series. We know it's there. But I think that
would be the ultimate honor. But again, you're, okay, we're

(08:17):
gonna take twelve or sixteen guys. We're gonna take four owners,
we're gonna take four media, and we're gonna take eight players,
and we're gonna have to get twelve votes. And you know,
Marvin Miller didn't make it in forever because the owners
were never going to vote for him because they felt
like during the drug situation he could have controlled that better.

(08:39):
And yet he had to allow players to get off
of the drugs before they could test them. And that's
why it took long. That And you can also say
that Sosa and the Peds and McGuire saved the game
of baseball. All of these things, there are suppositions, All these
things are not proven, but all these things are true.
And so now you've got to get twelve guys to
go to sixteen guys to go into a room, and
you got to have two yes.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Talking to Johnny Bench the Hall of Famer. Do you
think Pete bet as a baseball player on on baseball?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I I don't have that knowledge. I'm for me to
say yes, I I think that that would be a
little I can't say for sure because I don't have
any evidence of that.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, I just maintain And once again, Pete and I
shared a bookie growing up when Pete was Pete Rose.
You know, I went through a bookie that he used.
So I never knew anything about Pete betting as a player.
But I don't think you start betting as a manager.
And and I like, right, let's let's be fair to

(09:44):
the situation here. Because everybody said, well, he bet his
as a manager, and he bet on his team to win.
I think there's more information there that hasn't did he did?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
He bet on him every game to win?

Speaker 2 (09:56):
He told me a couple of years ago, first time
he ever admitted that he bet on the Reds to win. Now,
I was under the impression and he was betting on
them to win every night.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
All right, Well, so Dan, you're you're standings beside him,
and here you're listening to him calling his bookie and
he says, I want the Reds, the Indians, and the Braids.
You stand by him. The next night he wants the Reds,
the Yankees and the Dodgers. And the next night he says,
I want the Pirates, the Cubs and the Yankees. You
don't like the Reds. Tonight's going to be calling the book.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
But Johnny, I was told by somebody who would know
there were certain pitchers that Pete didn't want to bet
on to win games for the Reds.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Okay, so you had a lot of conversations. Did you
have a private line.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I had too many conversations.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
But I would know during hockey season or football season
who Pete was betting on through my bookie who took
you know, some of the off bets from the main
bookie who lived in Indian Hills, and that Pete went through.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
So I was I was kind of privy to this.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I get to ESPN, I walk in first month, I'm there,
the Pete Rose scandal breaks. I call my former bookie.
I'm like, I need some information here and my bookie's like,
no names. I said, no, just give me the information
and he did.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Well. It's like gambling becomes yours. Like it's like you
you know this is a story. I'll just use you
as example. You bet on every baseball game, you bet
on every football game, and you bet on every football
basketball game, and you lose every bet. So you call
your bookie an Indian Hill and say, I'm quitting. I
am done with betting, I am not going to bet anymore.

(11:49):
But then he'll say, well, what about hockey. It's just
coming up, And you'll say, what.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Do I know about hockey?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, Pete had that satellite dish outside his house, so
he would dial up all of these he'd be watching
Vancouver Canucks and betting hockey.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Oh I can still remember. Well, yeah, I mean he
got a tip. You know, somebody gave you a good tell.
You back in the seventy three or four. I we're
up at UH We're having an event with Bob Hopeing.
You know, my buddy who is has a has a
likes to bet, and he's watching the baskets and he
and the you know, the game's coming on. He's watching
football and he's the games come on, says he think
I get be art with mister Hoped if I I

(12:29):
watched the game, I said, well, I'm not trying. It's
on my TV. I mean, is this sweet here? You're
going to have to do that? And he said, you know,
mister Hope, do you uh do you like football? Of
course he had his book open to whatever his bets were,
and Bob said.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Oh yeah, turn it on.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Let's see what this. I got four of them. I
got four punch on this. I think everybody's probably had
a bet at one time or the other.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Have you.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I have, you know, I I uh, somebody said if
you'll better one every home favorite, you'll win. So I
tried it for about six games. You know I would
I couldn't you know if I you know, I said, no,
it's not my it's not my ideal. I'm I'm not

(13:14):
lucky at gambling, and I love my money more.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Would you rather have Otani or Judge on your team
right now?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
I would say Otani just because the fact that I
could get him to pitch it one time or the other.
That would be the backup thing. I mean right now, Judges,
you know what he is. I mean, he's awesome. I mean,
I just I just love his approach, his love is.
You know, he's got such reach, he's got such patience.
He's the kind of guy that doesn't have to hit

(13:47):
the ball out of the ballpark because everybody wants him
to hit the out ball out of the ballpark. He's
going the other way. They're pitching him so many different ways.
He's got such a great, great discipline up there. But Otani,
you know, you watch him flail away. You don't see
you know, you don't see Aaron Judge do that. You
just don't see that flailing away and missing and everything else.

(14:08):
And but yet for stolen bases, which Judge can do,
the only only caveat for me would be the fact
that I could put Otani into pitch.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Is there a sound of a home run that still
resonates with you, whether you hit it or you were
behind the plate and somebody hit it.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Well, there's two now that you mentioned. Now there was
there was two, come to mind. One was in the
All Star Game and we were in Griffiths Stadium in
DC and Steve Carlton was pitching, and Frank Coward, you know,
big Frank Howard, think what eight about that? Deacon? You know,
I'm just from making strong but just made contact Hill
I probably hit on herd home runs and he came

(14:48):
to the plate and Steve threw him a fastball. It
went right past Steve's head and went over the center
field fence and bounced off the concrete and he crossed
home plates. You know, see what I mean. I just
make contact was all I did. But the other, of course,
was the home run I hit against the Pirates in

(15:10):
seventy two to tie the game of the night. And
I don't know if it's the sound or it's the echo,
because I would walk in Riverfront Stadium and you know,
al Michael's just doing a documentary thing, and I was
repeating the fact that the one and two the bench
change hit in the air and the deep right field
goes clementing to the walls. She's gone, And I would

(15:32):
hear that every time. I don't know why I stepped
in the stadium.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Was that off Dave Justin?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I remember Ron Santo coming in
from playing golf. He walks in, what's the gore two
to one? The Pirates are three to two of the Pirates,
and he said, this game's over. When they said Jesse
was in because you couldn't hit him with the boat
or I mean, he was just he was nasty and
it just happened to be for me.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
But when Reggie Jackson hit the light tower in Tiger
Stadium at the All Star Game.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Was that a sound.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Like that?

Speaker 1 (16:04):
You remember? I mean that that's one God do I remember.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm sitting I had the best view of all.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I mean, I.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Knew the beadle and the long table. I mean, I
was the one that had all of this stuff. Now
you know, and you know, and I always tell Reggie
because Reggie, you know, Reggie likes the swagger part. I said,
what you don't understand is Reggie, my ball, my home
run went farther and yours did. I ended up in
right center field, in the in the in the up
in center field, right center field going out to and

(16:33):
of course we have our things with it and everything else,
but Reggie was the beauty. But god, oh my gosh.
I mean we just stood there and looked at it, like,
where in the hell is this going to go? You
couldn't imagine it would hit those light standards up there.
I mean, that is It's one of a kind. And
and it was a special moment because I mean, think

(16:53):
about that All Star Game, how many of thirty thirty
some guys from the Hall of fame were in that game?
How you do? What's the green for?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I mean that's a.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Misted by about six weeks, eight weeks.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's Adam Sandler sent this to me for Happy Gilmore?

Speaker 3 (17:11):
What position? Always a Yeah, I've seen your game. I
played with you. Actually, yeah, it's close.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
To Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Are you happy?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Great to talk to you, man, always, thank you, all right,
thank you?

Speaker 4 (17:29):
All right.

Speaker 2 (17:30):

Last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in

a little while. By the way, I went out to
the treggerville and the girls are fired up, and I
was just as I'm supposed to do. I am the

(18:12):
Inspector General, went out there to take a look at
but we're grilling up today.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yes, yes, and it looks pretty awesome there.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Fresh in Milwaukee. Hi, Fresh, what's on your mind?

Speaker 5 (18:31):
What's dp?

Speaker 6 (18:33):
I know we're talking about this Hall of Fame in sports,
So I have a question if the integrity, dirty end up,
integrity or cheating any sport would let me you in
the Hall of Fame. Well, we know David Stern six games.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
No, no, no, no, no, we're not going down that road. Fresh,
you can't say that. And Tim donneghe was the referee,
not David Stern. He didn't fix them. Jason Kidd on
the show tomorrow and Mike Tarrico will join us as well.

(19:08):
All right, Jay Kidd, the state of the MAVs. It's
a whole lot better than it used to be. Nobody.
Now you get people who are going, hey, would you trade?
Would you trade the Cooper flag? And I go no,
But if you could get you know, such anianis or

(19:29):
I it's really hard to trade away somebody who's not
even nineteen years of age, who is projected to be
a really good player, maybe a great player.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
It's just hard to do that.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I would rather have him and maybe you get the
first ten years of his career, sort of like the
Cardinals did with Albert Poohls. You get ten great years
with him if you can afford him and everybody else
that you're going to surround him with. But in Dallas
now it is an odd mix here. But because you
have Kyrie, you have ad they're like they're they're they're

(20:03):
kind of front line is their front line heavy, big
man heavy. But still you can ease him in. In fact,
you know, all ask Jason Kidd, like, how do you
work him into the lineup?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
What role do you expect him to play?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
And not every you know, top pick or first round
pick or top five, top ten reed Shepherd looked unbelievable
in the summer League for the Rockets, he looked great.
He didn't play. It's like, what happened. It's because you
now you're playing against grown men. You're playing against the
real NBA, not the summer league. But uh, Mike Tarico,

(20:43):
Jason Kidd will joins, We'll talk to Mike Arico about
the role that Michael Jordan see. Maybe Tarico will spill
some details on this with Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Everybody's excited.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I just like I, I temper my excitement with how
they're going to use Michael Jordan, because I just can't
imagine a role where Mike goes, you know, instead of
playing golf and I'll sit down and do you know whatever,
a one on one with Yannis or I just can't imagine.
It feels like, let's set up something where Mike doesn't

(21:16):
have to travel and he can do it. We'll create
a studio and then you know, we'll have a producer
there and then he'll submit stuff to us.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yes, Martin, but.

Speaker 7 (21:26):
I think just having Michael Jordan there in the flesh,
to me, he's one of those guys that were real
life figures but still mythological him Ruth Ali, I think
those I don't know if there's a fourth, but he's
one of those guys whereas as long as he's there,
just seeing his face and seeing him live and in
color would be enough for most people.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
Yeah, pull that's what I wanted to bring up. Has
anyone discussed that is this bad for the Jordan brand
and mystique. He's always been above this. He doesn't not
commentate on games he doesn't do studio work. He's Babe
Ruth still alive, and I don't think he's going to
be in that studio for ten seconds over the course
of the year. I don't know how they're going to

(22:05):
use him, but this is he's a mysterious person. He
never does interviews. He did write Thompson ten years ago,
and that's it.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, right, Thompson wrote a book, yeah, feature on Mike.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
And he did the documentary which took forever. It's I
don't think this is good for his brand of being
above it.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't know if there is something larger in play.
It has to be because Mike. Mike is always playing golf.
He's got his own golf course. It's not like he
goes I have nothing to do well. It probably has
nothing to do with the Jordan brand other than they go, hey,
how's this one looked?

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
That's great. Doesn't have to do too much.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Maybe go to a board meeting occasionally, but Mike's playing golf,
that's it. And if he's not doing that, he's at NASCAR.
And if he's not doing that, he's out on his
fishing boat. I don't think he's going go I am bored.

Speaker 9 (23:01):
Yes, I feel like the documentary though, like that whole
aura and mystique and all of that, all of that
was brought right to the forefront with the documentary. There
was no mystery anymore. And the more it is true,
the more that you sort of see Michael Jordan, the
more he uh obviously the more that you learn about him,

(23:25):
but the more you start to get more drips of
his personality and just how petty he is and how
all of these things are. There is a lot of
sort of negativity sometimes there with his personality. But then
when you frame it with this is what made him
so great, He's just a fascinating individual.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well, we're accepting of all the other stuff because he
was so great. Hey punched Steve Kerr. Well, Steve probably
asked for you know, we can validate a lot of
things that Jordan did. I don't think he was a
good teammate as far as a good friend. I just
think he was obsessed. He wanted to be the best player,

(24:04):
and whatever it took, he was going to do that.
I mean, imagine you're going into a game and you go,
I got to get up. We're playing you know, the
Wizards I'm going to create a fake rivalry. I'm gonna
say somebody said something about me, you know what, Lea
Bradford Smith, I'm gonna say that he said something about me.

(24:25):
La Bradford Smith never did anything, poor guy. But Mike
had gotten to the point where he mastered it, and
then I don't think he got bored with basketball.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
And then decided to play baseball. I don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Hey, it was my dad's wish for me to play baseball, okay,
but in the middle of a three peat and then
you're gonna all of a sudden play baseball.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Timing was wrong. I didn't believe that at all.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
And maybe that story never comes out, and maybe, okay,
maybe there's not a story. I feel like they're is.
I just don't believe you all of a sudden and
subject yourself to ridicule. Because baseball, we know that that's
the hardest thing to do. Hit a baseball, and Mike
can be one of the greatest athletes in history.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
That doesn't mean that you can hit a curveball.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
And the fact that Sports Illustrated put him on the
cover and basically said, you know, Michael Baggett, you know,
can't play baseball. And I don't think Jordan never spoke
to Sports Illustrated again after that. But you had a
lot of people who all of a sudden praise you
as the greatest basketball player, and now they came after
you like, oh, okay, you think you and the baseball writers, oh,

(25:39):
you're going to come into our sport. Oh oh, that's
really nice, Michael, And having been there in the summer
League in Arizona and Terry frank Conan was his manager,
and Terry said, you know, if Michael grew up playing baseball,
then he would have been a great baseball player. But
you know, his bat was you know, he kind of

(26:01):
wanted a smooth swing, like a golf swing. But I
just remember you're watching him at that size. You know,
he ran well cover a lot of ground, but he
just hadn't played baseball. And I think he pulled back
the curtain on some of the Jordan mystique then. And
that's why I'm you know, I don't think he's going

(26:21):
to be an analyst, but I do think however you
set him up, you're going to set him up with somebody,
and it's going to be packaged. I don't think it'll
be live and I don't know anything. I haven't heard anything,
but I'm just how I would probably propose using Jordan
would say, kind of go into your laboratory and tell

(26:42):
me what you see with this, just like Kobe did,
because I was fascinated with what Kobe saw and the
great players see things that you don't see.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's right there, wait, right where? Right there? What do
you see? See his feet? I know I can go left,
look at his hands?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Okay, Like this is what great players, you know, the minutia,
because the separation between good and great and great and
all time greater Hall of Fame is really small. But
that's what always fascinated with. Like Kobe was obsessed with
draining your brain, whoever it was, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I want to learn that. What are you doing? I
want to learn that. I would love to see that
from Mike.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
And even if he got petty, even if he was
kind of snarky, like that'd be great. Maybe if he's
roasting people, that'd be kind of fun too. Yeah, paulm
could you do something as a producer.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
I was thinking with Michael Jordans, somewhat of a Manning
cast with Michael, but a little more low key'd be
at Michael's house. He'd be sitting with another all time great,
or on with another all time great as a second
screen for the Game of the week on NBC and
have Michael analyze a little bit but then tell stories.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
And then he's got to watch the game.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
And he probably he's like, I mean, Barkley can't sit
through these games now. I mean, it have to be
a great game. But if you had Mike there with
a cigar, his tequila. Ray Allen is always playing golf
with him, maybe he's in there, and then maybe you
get conversations going, and you need somebody who would be
sort of the conductor there, hello, and you're able to go,

(28:20):
all right, who do we have? We have Denver against
the Lakers, and then all of a sudden, Mike's in
there telling stories ray Allen. Maybe we get one other
guy locally, and you could have some fun there. I
just don't know if Mike could sit through an entire game.
He couldn't do that. He had to do that with Charlotte.

(28:43):
I always felt bad. You know, hey, you're an owner, Yeah,
but you have to watch every game. Like if I said, hey,
you own the Pirates, I got to go to every
every home game. Y.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
It'd be great to have that type of show. But
you ever listen to the podcast SmartLess Jason Bateman. Those
guys they get surprised by the guest. Imagine if Jordan's
doing a second screen show and he does not know
who the guest is, and you just say you were
the host and you brought in Phil Jackson for twenty minutes,
and then you brought in Larry Bird for twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
So I gave Michael hints, yeah, and then he has
to figure out who it is.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
You had thirty seven against this guy in December twelfth
blank blank blank, and then here's Larry Bird, and Larry
tell a story about Mike, Mike tells story and they
peek in at the game.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
It'd be nice, but I just don't know, Like, what
is Michael getting out of this? That's the you can
pay him thirty seven and a half million dollars like
Fox is with Tom Brady Mike. Mike makes one hundred
and fifty million dollars a year, and that's off Nike.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (29:51):
I'm just that's the endgame that I want to know. Yes, Marvin,
but do you think anything can actually hurt his brand.
That's why I put Ruth Ali and Jordan in the
same category. As you've heard stuff about Babe Ruth. You've
heard stuff about Muhammad Ali that might not be the best.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
But Michael's already survived that, right.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
So him being on TV, maybe he's not the best analyst,
or maybe he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Why would he do it?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Great question?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, that's that's the point.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I'm gonna ask Terico that why why does he think
Jordan is going to do this?

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yes? Ton, and he already did.

Speaker 11 (30:24):
The documentary about Hey, in case I forgot about me,
I know everybody's talking about Lebron. He doesn't need to
go in even further with it being the exposure of
the NBA and NBC on top of the documentary that
was already done.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, that's why I keep wondering why that's one of
those where you go, hey, NBC is getting the NBA back. Hey,
you know what, let's just somebody should reach out to
Michael Jordan. Oh yeah, right, he's gonna do like what
was said where Mike goes, okay, okay, what no, I'll dude,

(30:57):
yes see.

Speaker 9 (30:57):
And it's crazy about him too that he can sort
of like you're saying, like, I'll just invent these errors.

Speaker 12 (31:01):
He can find a slight in anything, anything.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
And then twist that right into okay, no problem, all right,
But we come back. If you're watching on Peacock, we're
going out to the grills and we got some steak
tacos there. But also when we come back, we're going

being sort of like a fan.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
No, I'm it's still I'm so conditioned to look at
the storyline. It doesn't matter now. I root for the
fans of the teams that I rooted for. You know
that maybe you get a super Bowl. They played in
you know, uh, some of the closest Super Bowls in
NFL history. I'd like for them to get a Super Bowl,

(33:00):
and you know, the World Series. I don't know if
they'll ever get back in my lifetime with just how
baseball is constructed financially, but you know, basketball wise, whether
it's University of Cincinnati Xavier Dayton. But no, I'm still
rooting for a storyline. But thank you for the phone

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
