Yamas is here and June second, you took over as
the big Cheese there as the nightly news and do
you have makeup on right now? Tom?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I got a little bit of powder.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I didn't know what I was getting into here, man
I got I was like, guys, it's a sports show,
and so I just kind of just do what they
tell me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's a little bit on Okay. I just didn't live.
I felt like, you, you know, went a little overboard here.
I even told them, was I just give you powder.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
That's a therapy.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, your lifestyle? Yeah, how does it change now that
you're on call? It feels like twenty four to seven.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I have some NBC News engineers coming to my house
next week to take over one of my rooms in
my house to make it a mobile studio that can
go live under any circumstance.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
And when I when I mean under any circumstance.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
If there is no Wi Fi, if there is no power,
We're getting a starlink set up and just to make
sure we can go live. And right now we are
on sort of a standby to see what the US
does with Iran, and so they're sort of working over
time to make sure we can get the studio up
and going. You know, like I have a passport on
me at all times. I got to run to the
airport and just knowing at any point the phone's going
(02:17):
to ring and it's like jump on a plane or
we need you to come in and you know, but
you know that when you sign up, you know that's
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But you have three kids, Yeah, your wife and kids,
they can kind of understand that. Yeah, you know what
if you're at a soccer game, or you're at a baptism,
or you're at a graduation.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, it's tough. So I'll give you an example.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I mean, my kids have always known me to do
this job, and so they know that sort of comes
with the territory and that's part of dad's job. And
it's tough on them sometimes, right because they wake up
and I'm not there. I'm on a plane to Ukraine
or Israel or somewhere else. And that's tough, and it's
you know, conversations we have as a family when week
get home. But I'll give you an example. Last Friday,
my little guy was having his championship little league game
(02:59):
seven years old against a team where we have a
huge rivalry with the other coach. So this was the
biggest game of the season, and I had to be
on the desk because the game was at five thirty.
So I'm already taping segments, I'm getting ready for nightly news,
and my wife's live streaming the game, and so I'm
I'm at the corner of my eye, I'm watching the
live stream of this Little League seven U game while
(03:19):
I'm reading something like the serious news. But it was
during commercial breaks and I was able to watch him hits.
So it's good stuff like that. But when I'm home,
I'm dad and I'm a good husband. It's like, I'm
just focused on the family. And I think when you're
at home, that's the way it's got to be. And
when you're at work, you're at work.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
At one point does it click and you go, that's
what I want to do.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know? It's interesting. So I was I was in
the ninth grade.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I was taking a writing class on my high school
and an alumnus came in. His name was Louis Giret.
He was very you know, he's a known local reporter
and anchor. He still he's a great broadcaster, and he said,
if you like writing check out TV news. And I
went home and I was talking to my parents and
we always watched a lot of news. My parents are
Cuban refugee as they came here in the late fifties
(04:01):
and the early sixties, and we were constantly watching news
in English at Spanish. So it was always a part
of our life and talking politics and talking about elections,
even as a child. But when I told them that,
you know, parents, it's interesting like immigrant parents. Usually it's
like doctor, lawyer, businessman. There's like only three careers in
this world. And when I told them about this, they said,
you know what, try it out. And at fifteen I
(04:23):
got my first internship and so I started working in newsrooms.
At fifteen, I saw my first dead body. That summer,
I would interview local officials. Is Telemundo Telemundo, Yeah, And
so it was all in Spanish.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean, I couldn't even drive.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
My mom would drop me off and then you know,
like within an hour, I was in the news van
with a photographer carrying the tripod and then if there
was no reporter, I would ask the questions and it
was in Spanish, and it was but it was an
incredible summer and it was. It was so much fun
and so exciting. I did every job. I ruled, prompter,
serve coffee, answer phones, go out on shoots, help the photographers.
(04:57):
And I did that pretty much every summer in my life.
And so I was constantly working in newsrooms.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, I tell whether it's parents who call in or
their students who call in of how to get in
the business. And I said, there's no direct route, right,
But I always say, if you don't do something, somebody
else will always think that there's going to be somebody.
And our job is to make this job look great easy.
Like I said to Bob Constace, you made it look
(05:22):
too easy, Bob. So there's more competition because everybody thinks
they can do sports. This isn't difficult. You turn on
a microphone, comb your hair, you're good to go. Maybe
a little powder if you need it. But I don't.
And I think that now you look great. You don't.
I've done it all.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I don't need it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I actually lost what you were saying. I was looking
at your eyes. But no, you're right.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
And a lot of people think it's very glamorous, and
at times it can be, but it's a lot of work,
and you got to really love it, even covering something
like the Olympics, which is to me. I mean, one
of the best things that we get to cover what
people don't see is that to interview Katie Ladeki when
she wins that gold medal out of the race and
she's huffing and puffing. You have to stay planted for
(06:03):
two hours with your photographer standing up waiting in place
for that race to end, for her to come up,
and then you can get those ten seconds with her.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But it's incredible to get those ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You know. I was in Cuba recently, went there kind
of a cultural exchange, and I'm glad I went. Yeah,
but it was so sad. It is because you look
at what it was and what it may never be,
and just the people who were there who will never
(06:34):
get out and know they will never get out. They
could not have been more hard working, loyal, caring. But
you just see these buildings and they they what that
was like in the fifties when you know, Hollywood was
going over there, there were casinos over there, hemingways over
(06:56):
you know, this was this was a place. The weather
is wonderful, but I'm glad I went. I don't know,
have you been back. I've never been back. I've never
I was born here. My visa has been rejected twice.
I tried to go as a journalist, but I was
rejected twice.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
They usually and we're always having ongoing conversations with the
Cubans to try to go over there.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
But the two times I try to go, I was rejected.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Usually they don't like Cuban American journalists, especially Cuban American
journalists who grew up in Miami. It's very sensitive and
that those those are their rules. My parents have never
never gone back. We still have family there my entire life.
We have supported family on the island. It is incredibly sad.
People have no idea of how sad it is in
Cuba and what it once was until you study it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
But it's something that you know to understand. And like
my entire life.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
My parents toasted every New Year's next year in Havana
my entire life, and they'll never go back. They probably
will never go back. They're in their seventies now and they
probably will never go back. And it's incredibly sad. And
I pray for the people there, and I covered as
much as I can.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Tom Yamas is the anchor, the managing editor the nightly news.
Most dangerous setting you've been in.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Uh, There's been a few, right, because there's there's dangerous
settings when you are in extreme weather. Hurricane Katrina physically
knocked me down, whereas you're standing up and the wind
was so strong where you were in.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Mississippi physically knocked me down.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I've been in Israel, in Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Uh, in situations where you know, the raids go off
and you're looking out of your window and you're seeing
missiles fly into Tel Aviv and you're seeing the Iron
Dome intercepted and it's the craziest thing that you're witnessing
because you're safe, but you're not really safe because if
if the iron Dome doesn't work, that missile lands. And
I'd say those types of situations. I mean in local
(08:45):
news there was there was a lot of extreme weather,
but also crime scenes that sometimes you get to this
scene faster than the cops do sometimes and that's not
not a great place to be.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'll give you a good a good story.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
So when I was a young reporter in my Iami,
he was my first local news gig. Katrina was the
big hurricane, and I had sort of you know, I
had worked, I'd done a couple of hurricanes. I'd sort
of proven myself, but I was still very green. And
we were getting deployed to Mississippi and we were gonna
work for NBC News and the local station to be TVJ,
And so I said, oh, my uncle has got a
(09:19):
house in past Christian and I'm sure we could get
great shots.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You know, we could. We could cover the hurricane as
it rolls in.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And my photographer, who's really experienced, guy covered a lot
of hurricanes, he goes, look, man, this thing's a Cat four,
Cat five. He goes, your uncle's house in the water.
That's not a safe spoty, No, no, no, trust me, it's
gonna be great. It's gonna be great. To this day,
they have not found that house to this day. And
thank god I listened to him. We were way inland
covering the storm. We were still able to get everything.
But yeah, there's things like that all the time. And
(09:48):
then there's there's people on our team like Richard Engel
and Keir Simmons and Raf Stanchez and Matt Bradley that
are in war zones constantly and They're one of the
reasons why I think NBC News still so uprates itself.
There's a lot of conversations about legacy media versus new
media and whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
What I know is that our.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
People, our teams are in there on the front lines
day and day out, and they've been doing it for decades.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Competition with other news anchors, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, oh you know what in everything weightlifting and I'm joking,
could you take David Mihir, I mean arm wrestling. He's
got some big guns, but he's a he's a good friend,
and I worked there.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I learned a lot from him and and at ABC.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But he really likes his hair.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
He's got good hair.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
He's got good hair. He does he's got good hair.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
But he's a good guy too.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And yeah, it's it's incredibly competitive, and I don't think
you get here unless you want to compete.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Uh journalism. To me, it's obviously.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
About your viewers, and it's about your your readers and
your listeners, and you got to make sure you get
the story right. But but you don't want to do
anything mediocre. You want to be the best at what
you do. And so yeah, it's still highly competitive and
and it's not it's it doesn't it doesn't drive us,
but it's important to me because I think you want
to put on the best show every night.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Sports fans can be pretty rough sports. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
If you if you read a sports story and there's
a stat that's wrong, it could be like four hundred
and forty wins and you say four forty one, I
mean you're gonna get emails, your Twitter's gonna light up.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But it's interesting because sports. We're covering sports more and
more in news, and I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You know, I actually think it's a good thing because
there's some incredible drama happening in sports and people are
tuning into live events, live sports events like they never
have before.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And so to me that that is a news event.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
In some cases, sometimes we'll look at the nightly news
and you'll see the crossover story. Yeah, like Caitlin Clark huge.
We've been all over it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And I'll tell you why, because every time I mentioned
Caitlyn Clark to someone, they have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And a lot of women have opinions about Caitlin Clark.
And it's a.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Story that's sort of driving a lot of emotion and interest.
And one of the best things about the last incident
that happened that I noticed right off the bat was
you look at the sort of scuffle and the pushing
down and the refs, but you look at that arena
and it was packed and everyone was on their feet,
and it's like the w NBA is generating an excitement
(12:13):
like it never has before. It's not just Caitlin Clark.
It's all the other great players, Angel Reese, everybody else.
I mean, it's it has a moment now. Now, whether
the refs have to catch you up, we'll find out.
But but I love that we're like sort of at
the beginning of sort of this transition I think for
the league.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But how do you decide when that sports story crosses over?
I think when there's a visceral moment. I think when
there's a story that's going to hit you here or
here that's going to sort of resonate with our viewers.
We've done a few baseball stories. I'll give you a
good example.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
The Yankees out called up a catcher that had been
a Miami uber driver, Cuban American guy, and that story
was incredible because He had a guy who just last
year was driving an uber and now he's backing up
Austin Wells on the New York Yankees and he's playing great.
And I think stories like that touch people, and so
those are the kind of the stories we want to
(13:09):
be in. And then the Olympics, there's just there's so
much drama on the Olympics because you have people who
compete their entire lives and they're either gonna meddle or
they're gonna lose that and that's a tough moment. And
I saw it just recently in Paris. We were covering
Greco Roman wrestling and there was a wrestler from maybe
it was Kazakhstan and he had just lost and he's
(13:32):
just a big, tough guy and he walks out to
the press line he does like an interview, and he
just collapses and starts crying like a child. And when
I tell you this guy was tough, I mean cauliflower
ere just you know, muscles. It was just like wow,
like you know, you just can't believe it. But that's
the drama that happens with the Olympics, especially for different
(13:52):
countries where that is their ultimate sport.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Is it required mandatory that you have to have a
feel good story at the end of the news.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
You know, we want to leave people with something good
because we're gonna hit them with a lot because the
world is tough. And then we I could I could
go granular on it. The research has shown that the
viewers like it. They love there's good news tonight, that
segment we do at the end. So if our viewers
like it, we like it because at the end of
the day, and I say this, I drill this into
(14:20):
our staff.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
We work for the viewer.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
If you go in there and you think it's about us,
or you think it's about NBC News.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You're going to lose people.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
You got to remember you're working for them, and if
you do that, you usually get the journalism right.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But they're required to say Tom, and then they go
into their report when you throw it out to the
White House and then they throw it back and they go, Tom, No,
it's you know, there's there's just something's required.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
There's no requirement, but like it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But what your what.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You what you want to do is you want to
make a conversational I mean you know this, I mean
you want to make a conversational.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
You don't want it.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You don't want it.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You don't want people to think that they're watching something
else to take them out of it, that it feels
fake or it feels not real or authentic. And and
I think it's what we try to create is just hey, look,
I know, I know Peter Alexander, I know Gabe Gutia's
at the White House and we're having a conversation.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But you can call for a camera crew right now
if you wanted to. Yeah, yeah, no, I have some
questions about you. And so we got we got a
couple people outside, including Keith Morrison. Oh and so oh
yeah it's the new Dateline. Yeah, we've had Keith Morrison
on a couple of times. He's amazing, he's one of
the he's the goat. But he he didn't understand why
he's so popular, Keith. He everyone loves it. But he goes,
(15:31):
I don't know why you're having me on? And I
go you don't. He goes, no, my daughter said, you're
talking about me and I don't know. But Bill Hayter
doing his impersonation of it.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
But even and it's funny because this whole that like
a lot of the audience now knows Keith from Dateline,
Keith before Dateline built an incredible career as a broadcaster
and a reporter.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I covered a.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hurricane with him early in my career when I was
local and he was network and I'll never forget he
got into the satellite truck and he whipped out a
pencil and he just starts writing like long hand his script,
I mean, old school, and I was just like in
awe of this guy, the way he was working.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It was just amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
At pesky DNA. Yeah, DNA, congrats, thank you, good luck,
Thank you Dan, and uh we'll be watching.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, and you've opened my eyes here with this studio.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
With your team here. Yeah, this is pretty good. Man.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I thought I had a good This is really good.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I could uh, I could see maybe you hosting this show.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We could do Oh all right, Dan, you let me know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
How about we swap what you want to do news?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I always I always love when they do that though,
when they when they would do that, you know, when
they would swap sportscasters and and but sometimes they bring
something it's it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Sometimes I would never want to do news ever, no, no, no, no,
no no. I can interview anybody, but I wouldn't want
to do the heart. I wouldn't want to do that
on that tonightly basis. It's now because you know those
first five stories. Yeah, we may not have good news
in there. Yeah, oh no, A lot of times you don't.
It's a tough part, guys. I'm talking about the thunder
(17:07):
better win Sunday night. Yeah, talking about Iran, Iran. It's
a little different time. I'm doing okay, Yeah, you're doing
all okay. He is the big cheese now NBC Nightly

(18:15):
mind today?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Hey, DP, thanks for having me on again. Hey, first,
real quick, I have one of only three grated Casius
Clay rookie cards from nineteen sixty. After hearing Jim Gray,
maybe I should consider loading into his Hall of Excellence
to go on display. That would be cool. But the
real reason I'm calling is I wanted to see if
Marvin wanted to double down on our pie to the
(18:37):
face bet. If okayc wins, I'll send Marvin a ball
of his favorite maide in Montana booze. But if my
pacers win, Marvin has to send me an autograph copy
of his Yukon magazine that he had a couple of
years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Okay, Marvin, i'man Okay, it's not a big ask from
you if you know you haven't oos all right, Bob,
Good luck with your bet. Kenny in La Hi, Kenny,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Hey, Danny.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
So, first of all, was respect to Shador Sanders. Hearken
back to Jose Canseco. I think he's a poster boy
for a team, sports guy who liked to gets meeting tickets. Secondly,
you're talking about shooters. Talk about Jamal Wilkes, hall of famer,
had that swinging shot. Shot that leads me to my poem.
(19:32):
Oh bust family took.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
La on a great ride.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
They're once With's a family named bus which since nineteen
seventy nine took La in a great ride. Ten leaguer
championships from nineteen eighty to two eighty ten. In nineteen
eighty five is to the Celtics. The Lakers finally got
off the Schneide one more title in twenty twenty one.
Daughter gd at the helm. She filled her dad with
(19:57):
so much pride. Now it's time for Dodger Walter as
in mark that O'Malley, you're often to be our new
Laker guide.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
All right, Well, thank you, Kenny. Yes, very nice. Okay,
I'm not sure what that was trying to.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I know there wasn't a limerick, but it was something,
and I think it was clever nicely.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That Eric and Reno. Eric in Reno, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Well howdy then.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Good worrying people.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
I'm wondering if you can figure something out for me,
get to the bottom of the question. I don't understand
why the NBA has such a horribly unimaginable, uncreative name
for their championship. We've got the World Series and the
Super Bowl and the World Cup and the Stanley Cup.
(20:45):
But then we've got the Finals and the title. The
finals happened before every summer breaks, and I got a
title when I paid off my truck. So I don't
know what's going on with them being so unimaginative. What's
the name of their championship? And I'm wondering if.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You can explain that. I don't know. If what would
you change it to?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Eric, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well, if you're going to complain, you have to have
a solution. Thank you, Tod. Yes, do you do you
have a nominee for the NBA Championship that you'd like
to rename?
Speaker 9 (21:30):
I don't Maybe that would be a good point, but
maybe that would be just something to just throw out.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, Well, we'll see if the audience can help
you out there.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Yes, Paul, it's funny because super Bowl is the dumbest
name of all time. Like if the NFL Championship were
called the Awesome Bawl, we'd all make fun of it,
But the super Bowl is just as dumb. We're just
used to it and grew up with it. And it's
based off a child's toy back in the sixties that
they based off of.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, a super Bowl. Yeah, and then all of a
sudden somebody said, want to have the super Bowl, and
that's how you got the super Bowl, because initially it
sounds like super s oup, super Bowl and super in
the Bowl. Like it's like, okay, it works. But back then,
(22:19):
I don't know if people go what super Bowl? Craig
in Portland, Hi, Craig, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Long time listener, first time caller, Dan, I don't know.
I've never really felt compelled to call the show and
tell that horrific Rory McElroy impression. Wow, Yes, I address that,
then I'll found further review. I can't think I came
to the conclusion it actually was a pretty passable John Lemon,
(22:47):
speaking of impressions, I'm wondering if I could help further
Dan in his Hollywood career. If they ever decided to
do a movie of the story of Johnny Carson, I
think you'd be perfect to play Johnny Carson. I'd like
to hear you, at some point make an attempt to
do an impression of him. I'm sure it won't be
as good as your Lou Holtz, but in the last thing,
(23:11):
a semblance of a sports take. You know, in Portland,
we're told that Blazers are too young and that we're
a small market so we should have low expectations. Well
then you look at you know, Okac in Indiana, and
I think that pretty much dispels that.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Anyway, you guys have a great weekend, all right, Craig,
cheer up. Sound a little down in the dumps there.
Johnny Carson biopic, Yeah, I'd I'd have to try to
listen to his voice, to master that voice, and I'd
be interested in that. Books written about Johnny Carson and
(23:47):
the Tonight Show interesting kind of his personality, who he
was on the air and off the air. But that's
the way with a lot of those guys, you know,
Letterman on the air, Letterman off the air, Jade Leno,
you know Jay probably was the same guy off the
air as he was on the air. He always appeared
(24:08):
that way. Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, he was very
he was very nice, very nice.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I had somebody come up to me again and they
said Chris, so I think they thought it was Chris
Berman the other night. And the guy was very nice.
He goes, I wouldn't. I was at a local restaurant
and he goes, why would you come here? I go,
why not? And he goes, I don't know, like like
(24:36):
he I would think Chris would go someplace else, like
a big like New York, And I go, who's Chris?
And then I think he realized that he didn't have
my name right, I don't need to go to New
York every night for dinner.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Yes, Marmon, Have you or anybody else ever been approached
about doing an ESPN DOCU series or like a made
for TV.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Well, there was, it was to be a movie in
the works, and Jim Miller, who wrote the book on ESPN,
there was a script out there, but I think this
was an And I did a little bit of non
investigative work, but made a call a phone call with
somebody who had seen the treatment. They call it so
(25:21):
maybe not a script, but they saw sort of what
it was going to be, and I think it was
more about the beginnings of ESPN. Bill Rasmussen, who is
the one who started ESPN or had the idea for
an all sports channel, but it was going to be
in Connecticut and he came up with the idea, and
(25:42):
then all of a sudden they decided that they could
go nationally for the same price. I think it would
be about that, the struggles, like the Social Network, where
the struggles to get it to you know where it is,
but behind the scenes. It wouldn't be something where it's
about Chris Berman or Keith o Oberman and myself or
Stuart Scott. From what I was told, it would be
(26:04):
about the embryonic stages of ESPN getting it started, the
struggles you went through. Maybe drama that was involved in it,
but I haven't seen or heard anything about that, probably
in the last five years. Yes, Marvin, but.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
If they do make a docu series or whatever with
you in it, the actor that plays you, would you
want to talk to him.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
No, he would want to talk to me, but I
wouldn't want to talk to him because it might be
just he would he would ask for certain things or
certain how did you look? You know, your hair? I
mean I those guys want to get it down because
(26:49):
that's the first thing we notice. You know that John
Madden movie. First thing you notice is does Nicholas Cage
look like John Madden? And whatcha McCall? It looks just
like Al Davis. Christian Bale looks just like Al Davis.
That's what we notice. First thing. Do you look like
that person? Do you sound like that person? Those are
(27:12):
the biggest challenge. I remember John Goodman played Babe Ruth
and his swing was terrible, But that's all I remember
about the movie. His swing was terrible. Yeah, Paulin back in.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
The day, when maybe ten years ago, we talked about
this ESPN movie. We said Jason Bateman could play you.
Definitely has the hair and probably about the age. He
might be a little older for nineties, Dan Patrick. How
about Miles Teller, very good actor, dark hair, tall. I
think he's in his late thirties.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, it would be a nice one. Yeah, I met
him at a concert. We spoke.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
Another one. How about Andrew Garfield. Now I think he's British,
but he got a great American accent.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Short he is, Yeah, he looks tall. Andrew Garfield, yeah, checking, yeah,
Miles Teller was around my height. He was around six
's two tall. Drink of water, Yeah yeah. I don't
know if they're I don't want to do a docu series.
I don't. I'm good. You guys want to see a
docu series on ESPN watch it, Thank you, Tod.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Especially if you were significantly involved, and I'd like to
see some of the all that behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
What if I was, that'd probably be less interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I might still take a peek at it, but I
would be lesson.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I don't know how interesting it is, Like, you know,
we just kind of showed up and did a show
and that was it. I mean, there were some stuff
behind the scenes, gambling that went on parties, but I
don't I don't know how exciting that would be. Plus,
I don't know if I want to revisit the nineties,
(28:50):
you know, yeah, s Martin.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
For a certain generation people would love that, like people
in my age that grew up on you. And I'm
not saying it because you signed my checks, but look,
a lot lot of people staying on your shoulders. A
lot of people have a job because of you. They
do this because of you and Stuart Scott.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Is this a contract year for you?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
I'm sorry, are you?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Are you in the last year of your contract with me? No?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
No, February twenty twenty eight is when my contract. Oh okay,
I'm like Obie Topping, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
I'm playing well just because uh yes.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
But an ESPN movie would be for the very casual
sports fan or even non sports fan.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think these.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
Movies like Draft Day with Kevin Cosser, the Football Movie,
and What's the one with Brad Pitt Moneyball, Moneyball, those
are for the either non sports fans or casual sports fans.
Hardcore for sports fans didn't love Moneyball or Draft Day
because it didn't ring true. But an ESPN movie we
had to be like breezy and yeah, I don't drama.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I don't want to take a trip down memory lane
with the mother ship. Like I'm fine, it is what
it is. It was what it was. Would it be
breezy and.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
Drama rarely go together, by the way, Well, it'd been nice, easy, breezy,
you know a lot of drama, But it.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Has to be both.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
There's like a comic relief in Draft Day, and there's
comic relief in Moneyball, but then there's like serious scenes
about Scott Hadiberg.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, I don't know if we have like a serious
scene at the mother Ship there, it has to be there.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
I guess it's like the Social Network the movie. It's
like it starts out kind of fun and goofy and
then it gets really really.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, but that had to do with a lot of
billions of dollars at stake with you know people, they're
you know, stake in this and what happened. And I
don't think there's any drama like that. I mean, there
was competition, but there there it wasn't. I don't know.
I hate, I hate to let people behind the curtain
(30:45):
go in. Man, it wasn't interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yes, Marvin, that serious part is going to be you
of store, Scott playing pick up basketball.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh yeah, I didn't even I didn't want to be
interviewed for his thirty for thirty because they wanted to
ask me about that basketball moment. I'm like, no, let
somebody else tell it. Let somebody else who was there.
I think they got Jason Jackson to tell the story
because every time I tell that story. Jason Jackson, who's
the Miami Heat broadcaster, goes, you're telling it exactly like
(31:14):
it happened, and I said, oh, I know, I don't
have to mince words. God rest, you know Stuart's soul,
but he knows, he knows what happened that day. But
I'm not here to do thirty for thirty and I
and let's bring in Dan Patrick to talk about that moment.
Was Stuart's cod uh? Good times?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
All right? Movies coming soon?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah? Yeah, maybe I got to ask Sandler to do
the ESPN movie. I don't know either that or Spielberg.
Let's take a break. I got food to eat, Yeah, eaton?
What do you think?
Speaker 11 (31:56):
Yeah, I'm ready to eat some food. Actually, what I
was thinking about was how much I'm not sure I
could do Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen because I
watched the trailer and I'm sort of like, why is
the guy from the bear singing? Now? Oh wait, that's alright,
he's Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
In that I haven't seen the trailer. I did see
a picture of him portraying Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
I like him.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
I like him a lot as an actor, and I
love Bruce Springsteen, but so far I'm not. I'm not
in on it, like he had to do something to
make it. Not the guy from the Bear.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Let's ask Bruce Springsteen what he thinks of the trailer.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
He's the bear.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I'm the boss.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
He can't be the bear. I'm the boss. Well, come
on now, buy someone.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Else, bring hold out? Last call for phone calls?
Speaker 9 (32:38):
What we learn?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
What's in store tomorrow? Right after this?
Speaker 5 (32:46):
A dob one, no condon, a dundon the doe, no
cup of cunt.
Speaker 7 (32:53):

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Lot of fun this week. I hope you enjoyed it.
How about we go around the room. Who had the
best week in sports? Todd, I'm gonna start with you.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Best week in sports, I'm gonna give it to Sam
Reinhard clinching the Stanley Cup with four goals, Sam Rhinoid.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Not getting enough love? Okay, I didn't know who was
responsible for handing out love. Seton. How about you? Best
week in sports?
Speaker 11 (33:22):
How about show hey, non ahead of schedule, getting doing well?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay, things moving in the right direction. That's a good week.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Getting hit by a pitch though, Yeah, Marvin, I'm gonna
go Gage Wood of Arkansas.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Throwing hair college. Yeah, but I mean they didn't. It's
a perfect game. Yeah, oh I know, Yeah, that was tough.
Gave that one away, PAULI best week in sports.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
Mine's pending Sunday's results. And DJ McConnell of the Pacers.
If he can go down as helping them win this title,
it stamps his career as memorable when it was otherwise
a nice career, but not memorable.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Gritty guy, probably son of a coach. He was one
in last one out high motor. Yes, Marvin, he's.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Going to be the analyst for the Pacers for thirty
years after you retired.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
You think so? Oh, for sure, like five years. He's
going to be the radio analyst for the Pacers.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Without question. He's going to replace Austin Kroscher.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
How about on this day in twenty nineteen, David Gilmour
he had his guitar collection up for auction, one hundred
and thirty instruments at Christie's in New York. So he
was the Pink Floyd lead guitarist and his most iconic
guitar was called the Black Strat. It fetched almost four
(34:41):
million dollars. He had a Fender Stratocaster. Nineteen fifty four,
serial number zero zero zero one, and it was on
another brick in the Wall Part two that went for
one point eight million. He had a couple other guitars
Gibson Les Paul that went for four hundred and forty
(35:01):
thousand dollars. Man almost four million dollars for a guitar.
I don't know what you know when it comes to
rock and roll memorabilia. I know with sports memorabilia you
got to be careful with a lot of frauds, well
with art in general, But with those kind of things,
feels like David Gilmore is going to go, no, that's
my guitar, not somebody has, you know, replicated his guitar
(35:27):
from Pink Floyd.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
See, yeah, that.
Speaker 11 (35:29):
That black strat I think that was used on Dark
Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall Animals.
I mean that comfortably numb guitar solo. It's my favorite
guitar solo of all time. It's definitely one of the
best guitar solos of all time. They use that. It
was that guitar. I think that he recorded that with
That's there's some serious music pedigree on there. Yeah, a
(35:52):
lot of pedigree on that guitar.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Kayla in California, Hi, Kyla, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (35:58):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
My husband's an active listener and today is his fortieth birthday.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
I was hoping you'd sing them a song.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
What's his name, Kayla?
Speaker 12 (36:10):
His name is Aaron, Happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Thank you? Kylen. Was that Marvin saying that Kayla should
tell him sing?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Okay, new contract coming soon?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
All right, all right? I like what you're doing. James
and Cincinnati. Hi, James, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
What up?
Speaker 3 (36:35):
VP?
Speaker 7 (36:36):
And then six foot of Slender one ninety hey two
things for you. I know CJ McConnell's getting a Son
of Love, but I think a silent MVP would be
Obie Top. And he's had fifteen plus and four of
the six games, and he's been carrying them, not only
on the defense end, but a little bit of a
spark off the bench and then second off. I was
(36:59):
at the game last absolutely electric crowd. I was in
a club level next to McAfee and stuck over and
was able to say a low to him. Man, I
don't know how anybody doesn't like that guy. I mean,
he's the most genuine dude in the world. Great guy
was able to get a picture with him.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
So cool. Yeah, McFee kind of the show this day
and sports history. Paul I Got a bunch.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
Nineteen thirty six, Jesse Owens set one hundred meters record
at ten point two seconds. Muhammad Ali was convicted in
Houston of bypassing the draft. Pete Rose played in his
three thousandth game. Bowls got their third title in ninety three.
Sammy Sosa hit two home runs of state. He finished
with twenty in the month of June that was ninety eight,
and Barry Bonds hit his thirty eighth home run of
(37:43):
the season in two thousand and one. That was the
most before the All Star Break.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Nineteen forty nine, Gussie Moran shock Wembledon by wearing a
short dress to quote look good and move more freely
on the court. I like that, Gussie. She was a tart.
She was a vixen. That's what she was. Let's see,
uh Cameron in Indiana? Hi Cameron.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
Yeah, Hey, guys, I just wanted to be able to
say I called in before the Pacers won their first
title and and happy to do more. All I gotta
do is say basically made her lunch next year. Okay,
see and one?
Speaker 5 (38:25):
All right?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Thank you Cameron calling on Monday. I had the Pacers
in six. Oh, that's not gonna happen. But if they
happen to win in game seven, I'm gonna take credit.
Take a little victory lamp. Yes, Mormon early legacy talk.
Rick Carlisle. Where do you put him coaching? He's already
a Hall of Famer? Yeah, but now can you put
(38:48):
him in there with the Leary Broun? Well? How about
we wait? How about we wait and just see what
happened to.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Hot take you the greatest coach of all time? If
you want?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Is he above Eric Spolstra if he wins another title?
Speaker 5 (38:59):
Yes? Okay?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
How thout we wait until Sunday night?
Speaker 5 (39:03):
And if he loses, he's below?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Todd Simms. I thought we're a premature legacy Simmon. No,
he's got an NBA title? Uh, Todd? What did you learn?
On today's award nominated program?
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Jeff Tigue hasn't asked to him for one yet.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
But would really like a jersey from Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Eh, how about you seat O'Connor the best you can
do in garden? Kevin Durant is just put your arm up.
I know, I know, that's it. Well, Jeff Teague is
like six to two. He's not going to be guarding
a seven footer, and that's all you can do is
basically face guard him. Probably, Marvin, what did you learn today?
Speaker 5 (39:35):
Jeff Teague has PTSD because of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, it pushed him out abound. I forget that, and
then he got death threats. Paul, what did you learn today?
Speaker 10 (39:44):
Jim Gray may put you in the Hall of Excellence.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, very nice, very nice. Todd, what did I learn today?
Speaker 4 (39:50):

MVP and history.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I got a little bit of powder.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I didn't know what I was getting into here, man
I got I was like, guys, it's a sports show,
and so I just kind of just do what they
tell me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's a little bit on Okay. I just didn't live.
I felt like, you, you know, went a little overboard here.
I even told them, was I just give you powder.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
That's a therapy.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, your lifestyle? Yeah, how does it change now that
you're on call? It feels like twenty four to seven.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I have some NBC News engineers coming to my house
next week to take over one of my rooms in
my house to make it a mobile studio that can
go live under any circumstance.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
And when I when I mean under any circumstance.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
If there is no Wi Fi, if there is no power,
We're getting a starlink set up and just to make
sure we can go live. And right now we are
on sort of a standby to see what the US
does with Iran, and so they're sort of working over
time to make sure we can get the studio up
and going. You know, like I have a passport on
me at all times. I got to run to the
airport and just knowing at any point the phone's going
(02:17):
to ring and it's like jump on a plane or
we need you to come in and you know, but
you know that when you sign up, you know that's
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But you have three kids, Yeah, your wife and kids,
they can kind of understand that. Yeah, you know what
if you're at a soccer game, or you're at a baptism,
or you're at a graduation.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, it's tough. So I'll give you an example.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I mean, my kids have always known me to do
this job, and so they know that sort of comes
with the territory and that's part of dad's job. And
it's tough on them sometimes, right because they wake up
and I'm not there. I'm on a plane to Ukraine
or Israel or somewhere else. And that's tough, and it's
you know, conversations we have as a family when week
get home. But I'll give you an example. Last Friday,
my little guy was having his championship little league game
(02:59):
seven years old against a team where we have a
huge rivalry with the other coach. So this was the
biggest game of the season, and I had to be
on the desk because the game was at five thirty.
So I'm already taping segments, I'm getting ready for nightly news,
and my wife's live streaming the game, and so I'm
I'm at the corner of my eye, I'm watching the
live stream of this Little League seven U game while
(03:19):
I'm reading something like the serious news. But it was
during commercial breaks and I was able to watch him hits.
So it's good stuff like that. But when I'm home,
I'm dad and I'm a good husband. It's like, I'm
just focused on the family. And I think when you're
at home, that's the way it's got to be. And
when you're at work, you're at work.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
At one point does it click and you go, that's
what I want to do.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know? It's interesting. So I was I was in
the ninth grade.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I was taking a writing class on my high school
and an alumnus came in. His name was Louis Giret.
He was very you know, he's a known local reporter
and anchor. He still he's a great broadcaster, and he said,
if you like writing check out TV news. And I
went home and I was talking to my parents and
we always watched a lot of news. My parents are
Cuban refugee as they came here in the late fifties
(04:01):
and the early sixties, and we were constantly watching news
in English at Spanish. So it was always a part
of our life and talking politics and talking about elections,
even as a child. But when I told them that,
you know, parents, it's interesting like immigrant parents. Usually it's
like doctor, lawyer, businessman. There's like only three careers in
this world. And when I told them about this, they said,
you know what, try it out. And at fifteen I
(04:23):
got my first internship and so I started working in newsrooms.
At fifteen, I saw my first dead body. That summer,
I would interview local officials. Is Telemundo Telemundo, Yeah, And
so it was all in Spanish.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean, I couldn't even drive.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
My mom would drop me off and then you know,
like within an hour, I was in the news van
with a photographer carrying the tripod and then if there
was no reporter, I would ask the questions and it
was in Spanish, and it was but it was an
incredible summer and it was. It was so much fun
and so exciting. I did every job. I ruled, prompter,
serve coffee, answer phones, go out on shoots, help the photographers.
(04:57):
And I did that pretty much every summer in my life.
And so I was constantly working in newsrooms.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, I tell whether it's parents who call in or
their students who call in of how to get in
the business. And I said, there's no direct route, right,
But I always say, if you don't do something, somebody
else will always think that there's going to be somebody.
And our job is to make this job look great easy.
Like I said to Bob Constace, you made it look
(05:22):
too easy, Bob. So there's more competition because everybody thinks
they can do sports. This isn't difficult. You turn on
a microphone, comb your hair, you're good to go. Maybe
a little powder if you need it. But I don't.
And I think that now you look great. You don't.
I've done it all.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I don't need it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I actually lost what you were saying. I was looking
at your eyes. But no, you're right.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
And a lot of people think it's very glamorous, and
at times it can be, but it's a lot of work,
and you got to really love it, even covering something
like the Olympics, which is to me. I mean, one
of the best things that we get to cover what
people don't see is that to interview Katie Ladeki when
she wins that gold medal out of the race and
she's huffing and puffing. You have to stay planted for
(06:03):
two hours with your photographer standing up waiting in place
for that race to end, for her to come up,
and then you can get those ten seconds with her.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But it's incredible to get those ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You know. I was in Cuba recently, went there kind
of a cultural exchange, and I'm glad I went. Yeah,
but it was so sad. It is because you look
at what it was and what it may never be,
and just the people who were there who will never
(06:34):
get out and know they will never get out. They
could not have been more hard working, loyal, caring. But
you just see these buildings and they they what that
was like in the fifties when you know, Hollywood was
going over there, there were casinos over there, hemingways over
(06:56):
you know, this was this was a place. The weather
is wonderful, but I'm glad I went. I don't know,
have you been back. I've never been back. I've never
I was born here. My visa has been rejected twice.
I tried to go as a journalist, but I was
rejected twice.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
They usually and we're always having ongoing conversations with the
Cubans to try to go over there.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
But the two times I try to go, I was rejected.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Usually they don't like Cuban American journalists, especially Cuban American
journalists who grew up in Miami. It's very sensitive and
that those those are their rules. My parents have never
never gone back. We still have family there my entire life.
We have supported family on the island. It is incredibly sad.
People have no idea of how sad it is in
Cuba and what it once was until you study it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
But it's something that you know to understand. And like
my entire life.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
My parents toasted every New Year's next year in Havana
my entire life, and they'll never go back. They probably
will never go back. They're in their seventies now and they
probably will never go back. And it's incredibly sad. And
I pray for the people there, and I covered as
much as I can.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Tom Yamas is the anchor, the managing editor the nightly news.
Most dangerous setting you've been in.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Uh, There's been a few, right, because there's there's dangerous
settings when you are in extreme weather. Hurricane Katrina physically
knocked me down, whereas you're standing up and the wind
was so strong where you were in.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Mississippi physically knocked me down.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I've been in Israel, in Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Uh, in situations where you know, the raids go off
and you're looking out of your window and you're seeing
missiles fly into Tel Aviv and you're seeing the Iron
Dome intercepted and it's the craziest thing that you're witnessing
because you're safe, but you're not really safe because if
if the iron Dome doesn't work, that missile lands. And
I'd say those types of situations. I mean in local
(08:45):
news there was there was a lot of extreme weather,
but also crime scenes that sometimes you get to this
scene faster than the cops do sometimes and that's not
not a great place to be.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'll give you a good a good story.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
So when I was a young reporter in my Iami,
he was my first local news gig. Katrina was the
big hurricane, and I had sort of you know, I
had worked, I'd done a couple of hurricanes. I'd sort
of proven myself, but I was still very green. And
we were getting deployed to Mississippi and we were gonna
work for NBC News and the local station to be TVJ,
And so I said, oh, my uncle has got a
(09:19):
house in past Christian and I'm sure we could get
great shots.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You know, we could. We could cover the hurricane as
it rolls in.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And my photographer, who's really experienced, guy covered a lot
of hurricanes, he goes, look, man, this thing's a Cat four,
Cat five. He goes, your uncle's house in the water.
That's not a safe spoty, No, no, no, trust me, it's
gonna be great. It's gonna be great. To this day,
they have not found that house to this day. And
thank god I listened to him. We were way inland
covering the storm. We were still able to get everything.
But yeah, there's things like that all the time. And
(09:48):
then there's there's people on our team like Richard Engel
and Keir Simmons and Raf Stanchez and Matt Bradley that
are in war zones constantly and They're one of the
reasons why I think NBC News still so uprates itself.
There's a lot of conversations about legacy media versus new
media and whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
What I know is that our.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
People, our teams are in there on the front lines
day and day out, and they've been doing it for decades.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Competition with other news anchors, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, oh you know what in everything weightlifting and I'm joking,
could you take David Mihir, I mean arm wrestling. He's
got some big guns, but he's a he's a good friend,
and I worked there.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I learned a lot from him and and at ABC.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But he really likes his hair.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
He's got good hair.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
He's got good hair. He does he's got good hair.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
But he's a good guy too.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And yeah, it's it's incredibly competitive, and I don't think
you get here unless you want to compete.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Uh journalism. To me, it's obviously.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
About your viewers, and it's about your your readers and
your listeners, and you got to make sure you get
the story right. But but you don't want to do
anything mediocre. You want to be the best at what
you do. And so yeah, it's still highly competitive and
and it's not it's it doesn't it doesn't drive us,
but it's important to me because I think you want
to put on the best show every night.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Sports fans can be pretty rough sports. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
If you if you read a sports story and there's
a stat that's wrong, it could be like four hundred
and forty wins and you say four forty one, I
mean you're gonna get emails, your Twitter's gonna light up.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But it's interesting because sports. We're covering sports more and
more in news, and I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You know, I actually think it's a good thing because
there's some incredible drama happening in sports and people are
tuning into live events, live sports events like they never
have before.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And so to me that that is a news event.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
In some cases, sometimes we'll look at the nightly news
and you'll see the crossover story. Yeah, like Caitlin Clark huge.
We've been all over it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And I'll tell you why, because every time I mentioned
Caitlyn Clark to someone, they have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And a lot of women have opinions about Caitlin Clark.
And it's a.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Story that's sort of driving a lot of emotion and interest.
And one of the best things about the last incident
that happened that I noticed right off the bat was
you look at the sort of scuffle and the pushing
down and the refs, but you look at that arena
and it was packed and everyone was on their feet,
and it's like the w NBA is generating an excitement
(12:13):
like it never has before. It's not just Caitlin Clark.
It's all the other great players, Angel Reese, everybody else.
I mean, it's it has a moment now. Now, whether
the refs have to catch you up, we'll find out.
But but I love that we're like sort of at
the beginning of sort of this transition I think for
the league.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But how do you decide when that sports story crosses over?
I think when there's a visceral moment. I think when
there's a story that's going to hit you here or
here that's going to sort of resonate with our viewers.
We've done a few baseball stories. I'll give you a
good example.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
The Yankees out called up a catcher that had been
a Miami uber driver, Cuban American guy, and that story
was incredible because He had a guy who just last
year was driving an uber and now he's backing up
Austin Wells on the New York Yankees and he's playing great.
And I think stories like that touch people, and so
those are the kind of the stories we want to
(13:09):
be in. And then the Olympics, there's just there's so
much drama on the Olympics because you have people who
compete their entire lives and they're either gonna meddle or
they're gonna lose that and that's a tough moment. And
I saw it just recently in Paris. We were covering
Greco Roman wrestling and there was a wrestler from maybe
it was Kazakhstan and he had just lost and he's
(13:32):
just a big, tough guy and he walks out to
the press line he does like an interview, and he
just collapses and starts crying like a child. And when
I tell you this guy was tough, I mean cauliflower
ere just you know, muscles. It was just like wow,
like you know, you just can't believe it. But that's
the drama that happens with the Olympics, especially for different
(13:52):
countries where that is their ultimate sport.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Is it required mandatory that you have to have a
feel good story at the end of the news.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
You know, we want to leave people with something good
because we're gonna hit them with a lot because the
world is tough. And then we I could I could
go granular on it. The research has shown that the
viewers like it. They love there's good news tonight, that
segment we do at the end. So if our viewers
like it, we like it because at the end of
the day, and I say this, I drill this into
(14:20):
our staff.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
We work for the viewer.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
If you go in there and you think it's about us,
or you think it's about NBC News.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You're going to lose people.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
You got to remember you're working for them, and if
you do that, you usually get the journalism right.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But they're required to say Tom, and then they go
into their report when you throw it out to the
White House and then they throw it back and they go, Tom, No,
it's you know, there's there's just something's required.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
There's no requirement, but like it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But what your what.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You what you want to do is you want to
make a conversational I mean you know this, I mean
you want to make a conversational.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
You don't want it.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You don't want it.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You don't want people to think that they're watching something
else to take them out of it, that it feels
fake or it feels not real or authentic. And and
I think it's what we try to create is just hey, look,
I know, I know Peter Alexander, I know Gabe Gutia's
at the White House and we're having a conversation.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But you can call for a camera crew right now
if you wanted to. Yeah, yeah, no, I have some
questions about you. And so we got we got a
couple people outside, including Keith Morrison. Oh and so oh
yeah it's the new Dateline. Yeah, we've had Keith Morrison
on a couple of times. He's amazing, he's one of
the he's the goat. But he he didn't understand why
he's so popular, Keith. He everyone loves it. But he goes,
(15:31):
I don't know why you're having me on? And I
go you don't. He goes, no, my daughter said, you're
talking about me and I don't know. But Bill Hayter
doing his impersonation of it.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
But even and it's funny because this whole that like
a lot of the audience now knows Keith from Dateline,
Keith before Dateline built an incredible career as a broadcaster
and a reporter.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I covered a.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hurricane with him early in my career when I was
local and he was network and I'll never forget he
got into the satellite truck and he whipped out a
pencil and he just starts writing like long hand his script,
I mean, old school, and I was just like in
awe of this guy, the way he was working.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It was just amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
At pesky DNA. Yeah, DNA, congrats, thank you, good luck,
Thank you Dan, and uh we'll be watching.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, and you've opened my eyes here with this studio.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
With your team here. Yeah, this is pretty good. Man.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I thought I had a good This is really good.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I could uh, I could see maybe you hosting this show.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We could do Oh all right, Dan, you let me know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
How about we swap what you want to do news?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I always I always love when they do that though,
when they when they would do that, you know, when
they would swap sportscasters and and but sometimes they bring
something it's it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Sometimes I would never want to do news ever, no, no, no, no,
no no. I can interview anybody, but I wouldn't want
to do the heart. I wouldn't want to do that
on that tonightly basis. It's now because you know those
first five stories. Yeah, we may not have good news
in there. Yeah, oh no, A lot of times you don't.
It's a tough part, guys. I'm talking about the thunder
(17:07):
better win Sunday night. Yeah, talking about Iran, Iran. It's
a little different time. I'm doing okay, Yeah, you're doing
all okay. He is the big cheese now NBC Nightly

You're the nightly anchor on NBC. So very nice guy.
Let's see Bob in Montana. Hi Bob, what's on your
(18:15):
mind today?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Hey, DP, thanks for having me on again. Hey, first,
real quick, I have one of only three grated Casius
Clay rookie cards from nineteen sixty. After hearing Jim Gray,
maybe I should consider loading into his Hall of Excellence
to go on display. That would be cool. But the
real reason I'm calling is I wanted to see if
Marvin wanted to double down on our pie to the
(18:37):
face bet. If okayc wins, I'll send Marvin a ball
of his favorite maide in Montana booze. But if my
pacers win, Marvin has to send me an autograph copy
of his Yukon magazine that he had a couple of
years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Okay, Marvin, i'man Okay, it's not a big ask from
you if you know you haven't oos all right, Bob,
Good luck with your bet. Kenny in La Hi, Kenny,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Hey, Danny.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
So, first of all, was respect to Shador Sanders. Hearken
back to Jose Canseco. I think he's a poster boy
for a team, sports guy who liked to gets meeting tickets. Secondly,
you're talking about shooters. Talk about Jamal Wilkes, hall of famer,
had that swinging shot. Shot that leads me to my poem.
(19:32):
Oh bust family took.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
La on a great ride.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
They're once With's a family named bus which since nineteen
seventy nine took La in a great ride. Ten leaguer
championships from nineteen eighty to two eighty ten. In nineteen
eighty five is to the Celtics. The Lakers finally got
off the Schneide one more title in twenty twenty one.
Daughter gd at the helm. She filled her dad with
(19:57):
so much pride. Now it's time for Dodger Walter as
in mark that O'Malley, you're often to be our new
Laker guide.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
All right, Well, thank you, Kenny. Yes, very nice. Okay,
I'm not sure what that was trying to.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I know there wasn't a limerick, but it was something,
and I think it was clever nicely.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That Eric and Reno. Eric in Reno, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Well howdy then.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Good worrying people.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
I'm wondering if you can figure something out for me,
get to the bottom of the question. I don't understand
why the NBA has such a horribly unimaginable, uncreative name
for their championship. We've got the World Series and the
Super Bowl and the World Cup and the Stanley Cup.
(20:45):
But then we've got the Finals and the title. The
finals happened before every summer breaks, and I got a
title when I paid off my truck. So I don't
know what's going on with them being so unimaginative. What's
the name of their championship? And I'm wondering if.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You can explain that. I don't know. If what would
you change it to?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Eric, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well, if you're going to complain, you have to have
a solution. Thank you, Tod. Yes, do you do you
have a nominee for the NBA Championship that you'd like
to rename?
Speaker 9 (21:30):
I don't Maybe that would be a good point, but
maybe that would be just something to just throw out.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, Well, we'll see if the audience can help
you out there.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Yes, Paul, it's funny because super Bowl is the dumbest
name of all time. Like if the NFL Championship were
called the Awesome Bawl, we'd all make fun of it,
But the super Bowl is just as dumb. We're just
used to it and grew up with it. And it's
based off a child's toy back in the sixties that
they based off of.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, a super Bowl. Yeah, and then all of a
sudden somebody said, want to have the super Bowl, and
that's how you got the super Bowl, because initially it
sounds like super s oup, super Bowl and super in
the Bowl. Like it's like, okay, it works. But back then,
(22:19):
I don't know if people go what super Bowl? Craig
in Portland, Hi, Craig, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Long time listener, first time caller, Dan, I don't know.
I've never really felt compelled to call the show and
tell that horrific Rory McElroy impression. Wow, Yes, I address that,
then I'll found further review. I can't think I came
to the conclusion it actually was a pretty passable John Lemon,
(22:47):
speaking of impressions, I'm wondering if I could help further
Dan in his Hollywood career. If they ever decided to
do a movie of the story of Johnny Carson, I
think you'd be perfect to play Johnny Carson. I'd like
to hear you, at some point make an attempt to
do an impression of him. I'm sure it won't be
as good as your Lou Holtz, but in the last thing,
(23:11):
a semblance of a sports take. You know, in Portland,
we're told that Blazers are too young and that we're
a small market so we should have low expectations. Well
then you look at you know, Okac in Indiana, and
I think that pretty much dispels that.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Anyway, you guys have a great weekend, all right, Craig,
cheer up. Sound a little down in the dumps there.
Johnny Carson biopic, Yeah, I'd I'd have to try to
listen to his voice, to master that voice, and I'd
be interested in that. Books written about Johnny Carson and
(23:47):
the Tonight Show interesting kind of his personality, who he
was on the air and off the air. But that's
the way with a lot of those guys, you know,
Letterman on the air, Letterman off the air, Jade Leno,
you know Jay probably was the same guy off the
air as he was on the air. He always appeared
(24:08):
that way. Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, he was very
he was very nice, very nice.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I had somebody come up to me again and they
said Chris, so I think they thought it was Chris
Berman the other night. And the guy was very nice.
He goes, I wouldn't. I was at a local restaurant
and he goes, why would you come here? I go,
why not? And he goes, I don't know, like like
(24:36):
he I would think Chris would go someplace else, like
a big like New York, And I go, who's Chris?
And then I think he realized that he didn't have
my name right, I don't need to go to New
York every night for dinner.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Yes, Marmon, Have you or anybody else ever been approached
about doing an ESPN DOCU series or like a made
for TV.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Well, there was, it was to be a movie in
the works, and Jim Miller, who wrote the book on ESPN,
there was a script out there, but I think this
was an And I did a little bit of non
investigative work, but made a call a phone call with
somebody who had seen the treatment. They call it so
(25:21):
maybe not a script, but they saw sort of what
it was going to be, and I think it was
more about the beginnings of ESPN. Bill Rasmussen, who is
the one who started ESPN or had the idea for
an all sports channel, but it was going to be
in Connecticut and he came up with the idea, and
(25:42):
then all of a sudden they decided that they could
go nationally for the same price. I think it would
be about that, the struggles, like the Social Network, where
the struggles to get it to you know where it is,
but behind the scenes. It wouldn't be something where it's
about Chris Berman or Keith o Oberman and myself or
Stuart Scott. From what I was told, it would be
(26:04):
about the embryonic stages of ESPN getting it started, the
struggles you went through. Maybe drama that was involved in it,
but I haven't seen or heard anything about that, probably
in the last five years. Yes, Marvin, but.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
If they do make a docu series or whatever with
you in it, the actor that plays you, would you
want to talk to him.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
No, he would want to talk to me, but I
wouldn't want to talk to him because it might be
just he would he would ask for certain things or
certain how did you look? You know, your hair? I
mean I those guys want to get it down because
(26:49):
that's the first thing we notice. You know that John
Madden movie. First thing you notice is does Nicholas Cage
look like John Madden? And whatcha McCall? It looks just
like Al Davis. Christian Bale looks just like Al Davis.
That's what we notice. First thing. Do you look like
that person? Do you sound like that person? Those are
(27:12):
the biggest challenge. I remember John Goodman played Babe Ruth
and his swing was terrible, But that's all I remember
about the movie. His swing was terrible. Yeah, Paulin back in.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
The day, when maybe ten years ago, we talked about
this ESPN movie. We said Jason Bateman could play you.
Definitely has the hair and probably about the age. He
might be a little older for nineties, Dan Patrick. How
about Miles Teller, very good actor, dark hair, tall. I
think he's in his late thirties.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, it would be a nice one. Yeah, I met
him at a concert. We spoke.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
Another one. How about Andrew Garfield. Now I think he's British,
but he got a great American accent.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Short he is, Yeah, he looks tall. Andrew Garfield, yeah, checking, yeah,
Miles Teller was around my height. He was around six
's two tall. Drink of water, Yeah yeah. I don't
know if they're I don't want to do a docu series.
I don't. I'm good. You guys want to see a
docu series on ESPN watch it, Thank you, Tod.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Especially if you were significantly involved, and I'd like to
see some of the all that behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
What if I was, that'd probably be less interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I might still take a peek at it, but I
would be lesson.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I don't know how interesting it is, Like, you know,
we just kind of showed up and did a show
and that was it. I mean, there were some stuff
behind the scenes, gambling that went on parties, but I
don't I don't know how exciting that would be. Plus,
I don't know if I want to revisit the nineties,
(28:50):
you know, yeah, s Martin.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
For a certain generation people would love that, like people
in my age that grew up on you. And I'm
not saying it because you signed my checks, but look,
a lot lot of people staying on your shoulders. A
lot of people have a job because of you. They
do this because of you and Stuart Scott.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Is this a contract year for you?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
I'm sorry, are you?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Are you in the last year of your contract with me? No?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
No, February twenty twenty eight is when my contract. Oh okay,
I'm like Obie Topping, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
I'm playing well just because uh yes.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
But an ESPN movie would be for the very casual
sports fan or even non sports fan.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think these.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
Movies like Draft Day with Kevin Cosser, the Football Movie,
and What's the one with Brad Pitt Moneyball, Moneyball, those
are for the either non sports fans or casual sports fans.
Hardcore for sports fans didn't love Moneyball or Draft Day
because it didn't ring true. But an ESPN movie we
had to be like breezy and yeah, I don't drama.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I don't want to take a trip down memory lane
with the mother ship. Like I'm fine, it is what
it is. It was what it was. Would it be
breezy and.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
Drama rarely go together, by the way, Well, it'd been nice, easy, breezy,
you know a lot of drama, But it.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Has to be both.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
There's like a comic relief in Draft Day, and there's
comic relief in Moneyball, but then there's like serious scenes
about Scott Hadiberg.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, I don't know if we have like a serious
scene at the mother Ship there, it has to be there.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
I guess it's like the Social Network the movie. It's
like it starts out kind of fun and goofy and
then it gets really really.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, but that had to do with a lot of
billions of dollars at stake with you know people, they're
you know, stake in this and what happened. And I
don't think there's any drama like that. I mean, there
was competition, but there there it wasn't. I don't know.
I hate, I hate to let people behind the curtain
(30:45):
go in. Man, it wasn't interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yes, Marvin, that serious part is going to be you
of store, Scott playing pick up basketball.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh yeah, I didn't even I didn't want to be
interviewed for his thirty for thirty because they wanted to
ask me about that basketball moment. I'm like, no, let
somebody else tell it. Let somebody else who was there.
I think they got Jason Jackson to tell the story
because every time I tell that story. Jason Jackson, who's
the Miami Heat broadcaster, goes, you're telling it exactly like
(31:14):
it happened, and I said, oh, I know, I don't
have to mince words. God rest, you know Stuart's soul,
but he knows, he knows what happened that day. But
I'm not here to do thirty for thirty and I
and let's bring in Dan Patrick to talk about that moment.
Was Stuart's cod uh? Good times?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
All right? Movies coming soon?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah? Yeah, maybe I got to ask Sandler to do
the ESPN movie. I don't know either that or Spielberg.
Let's take a break. I got food to eat, Yeah, eaton?
What do you think?
Speaker 11 (31:56):
Yeah, I'm ready to eat some food. Actually, what I
was thinking about was how much I'm not sure I
could do Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen because I
watched the trailer and I'm sort of like, why is
the guy from the bear singing? Now? Oh wait, that's alright,
he's Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
In that I haven't seen the trailer. I did see
a picture of him portraying Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
I like him.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
I like him a lot as an actor, and I
love Bruce Springsteen, but so far I'm not. I'm not
in on it, like he had to do something to
make it. Not the guy from the Bear.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Let's ask Bruce Springsteen what he thinks of the trailer.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
He's the bear.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I'm the boss.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
He can't be the bear. I'm the boss. Well, come
on now, buy someone.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Else, bring hold out? Last call for phone calls?
Speaker 9 (32:38):
What we learn?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
What's in store tomorrow? Right after this?
Speaker 5 (32:46):
A dob one, no condon, a dundon the doe, no
cup of cunt.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
I'm a.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Lot of fun this week. I hope you enjoyed it.
How about we go around the room. Who had the
best week in sports? Todd, I'm gonna start with you.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Best week in sports, I'm gonna give it to Sam
Reinhard clinching the Stanley Cup with four goals, Sam Rhinoid.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Not getting enough love? Okay, I didn't know who was
responsible for handing out love. Seton. How about you? Best
week in sports?
Speaker 11 (33:22):
How about show hey, non ahead of schedule, getting doing well?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay, things moving in the right direction. That's a good week.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Getting hit by a pitch though, Yeah, Marvin, I'm gonna
go Gage Wood of Arkansas.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Throwing hair college. Yeah, but I mean they didn't. It's
a perfect game. Yeah, oh I know, Yeah, that was tough.
Gave that one away, PAULI best week in sports.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
Mine's pending Sunday's results. And DJ McConnell of the Pacers.
If he can go down as helping them win this title,
it stamps his career as memorable when it was otherwise
a nice career, but not memorable.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Gritty guy, probably son of a coach. He was one
in last one out high motor. Yes, Marvin, he's.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Going to be the analyst for the Pacers for thirty
years after you retired.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
You think so? Oh, for sure, like five years. He's
going to be the radio analyst for the Pacers.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Without question. He's going to replace Austin Kroscher.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
How about on this day in twenty nineteen, David Gilmour
he had his guitar collection up for auction, one hundred
and thirty instruments at Christie's in New York. So he
was the Pink Floyd lead guitarist and his most iconic
guitar was called the Black Strat. It fetched almost four
(34:41):
million dollars. He had a Fender Stratocaster. Nineteen fifty four,
serial number zero zero zero one, and it was on
another brick in the Wall Part two that went for
one point eight million. He had a couple other guitars
Gibson Les Paul that went for four hundred and forty
(35:01):
thousand dollars. Man almost four million dollars for a guitar.
I don't know what you know when it comes to
rock and roll memorabilia. I know with sports memorabilia you
got to be careful with a lot of frauds, well
with art in general, But with those kind of things,
feels like David Gilmore is going to go, no, that's
my guitar, not somebody has, you know, replicated his guitar
(35:27):
from Pink Floyd.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
See, yeah, that.
Speaker 11 (35:29):
That black strat I think that was used on Dark
Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall Animals.
I mean that comfortably numb guitar solo. It's my favorite
guitar solo of all time. It's definitely one of the
best guitar solos of all time. They use that. It
was that guitar. I think that he recorded that with
That's there's some serious music pedigree on there. Yeah, a
(35:52):
lot of pedigree on that guitar.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Kayla in California, Hi, Kyla, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (35:58):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
My husband's an active listener and today is his fortieth birthday.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
I was hoping you'd sing them a song.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
What's his name, Kayla?
Speaker 12 (36:10):
His name is Aaron, Happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Thank you? Kylen. Was that Marvin saying that Kayla should
tell him sing?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Okay, new contract coming soon?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
All right, all right? I like what you're doing. James
and Cincinnati. Hi, James, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
What up?
Speaker 3 (36:35):
VP?
Speaker 7 (36:36):
And then six foot of Slender one ninety hey two
things for you. I know CJ McConnell's getting a Son
of Love, but I think a silent MVP would be
Obie Top. And he's had fifteen plus and four of
the six games, and he's been carrying them, not only
on the defense end, but a little bit of a
spark off the bench and then second off. I was
(36:59):
at the game last absolutely electric crowd. I was in
a club level next to McAfee and stuck over and
was able to say a low to him. Man, I
don't know how anybody doesn't like that guy. I mean,
he's the most genuine dude in the world. Great guy
was able to get a picture with him.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
So cool. Yeah, McFee kind of the show this day
and sports history. Paul I Got a bunch.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
Nineteen thirty six, Jesse Owens set one hundred meters record
at ten point two seconds. Muhammad Ali was convicted in
Houston of bypassing the draft. Pete Rose played in his
three thousandth game. Bowls got their third title in ninety three.
Sammy Sosa hit two home runs of state. He finished
with twenty in the month of June that was ninety eight,
and Barry Bonds hit his thirty eighth home run of
(37:43):
the season in two thousand and one. That was the
most before the All Star Break.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Nineteen forty nine, Gussie Moran shock Wembledon by wearing a
short dress to quote look good and move more freely
on the court. I like that, Gussie. She was a tart.
She was a vixen. That's what she was. Let's see,
uh Cameron in Indiana? Hi Cameron.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
Yeah, Hey, guys, I just wanted to be able to
say I called in before the Pacers won their first
title and and happy to do more. All I gotta
do is say basically made her lunch next year. Okay,
see and one?
Speaker 5 (38:25):
All right?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Thank you Cameron calling on Monday. I had the Pacers
in six. Oh, that's not gonna happen. But if they
happen to win in game seven, I'm gonna take credit.
Take a little victory lamp. Yes, Mormon early legacy talk.
Rick Carlisle. Where do you put him coaching? He's already
a Hall of Famer? Yeah, but now can you put
(38:48):
him in there with the Leary Broun? Well? How about
we wait? How about we wait and just see what
happened to.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Hot take you the greatest coach of all time? If
you want?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Is he above Eric Spolstra if he wins another title?
Speaker 5 (38:59):
Yes? Okay?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
How thout we wait until Sunday night?
Speaker 5 (39:03):
And if he loses, he's below?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Todd Simms. I thought we're a premature legacy Simmon. No,
he's got an NBA title? Uh, Todd? What did you learn?
On today's award nominated program?
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Jeff Tigue hasn't asked to him for one yet.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
But would really like a jersey from Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Eh, how about you seat O'Connor the best you can
do in garden? Kevin Durant is just put your arm up.
I know, I know, that's it. Well, Jeff Teague is
like six to two. He's not going to be guarding
a seven footer, and that's all you can do is
basically face guard him. Probably, Marvin, what did you learn today?
Speaker 5 (39:35):
Jeff Teague has PTSD because of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, it pushed him out abound. I forget that, and
then he got death threats. Paul, what did you learn today?
Speaker 10 (39:44):
Jim Gray may put you in the Hall of Excellence.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, very nice, very nice. Todd, what did I learn today?
Speaker 4 (39:50):
We all learned one of the most unexpected NBA Finals
MVP and history.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
