Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael dil Chruno.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
John Decker, our White House correspondent, is joining us. Is
the parade already beginning?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Decker?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
What's that? Is that the parade beginning in the background already?

Speaker 4 (00:15):
No, what they're doing is they're rebroadcasting literally the entire
football game, the entire Super Bowl. So what you hear
in the background, it's just started. Moments to go here.
The parade doesn't get started until eleven a m. Eastern time,
and then the ceremony at the Philadelphia Art Museum, which
is where I am, doesn't get underway until two pm.

(00:36):
But let me tell you something, Michael. The Benjamin Franklin
Parkway wall to wall people right now, it is unbelievable
the amount of people as far as the eye can see.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So the first thing the cast wants to know, are
you an Eagles fan?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Are you just doing this for news?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I'm an Eagles fan. I know I've got my What
am I wearing today? In terms of gear out of quarters?
I I've got a hat, you know, I mean, it's
uh something that I grew up being, and that's an
Eagles fan.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
And I two super.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Bowls in the span of just what seven years. That's
pretty remarkable, isn't it remarkable to what these parades have become.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I mean when the Saints won the super Bowl, first
of all, just getting getting the Super Bowl was enough
for me. That was marak. I cried when we won
the NFC Championship. I couldn'tlieve we're going to a super Bowl.
And then when Porter picked off that and went into
the end zone and I thought, I remember thinking in
a flash, oh my gosh, we're going to win.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
The super Bowl, and I was just shot.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
But the parade, the parade is where all the emotions
really came to.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Like, these parades have become very important.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I agree completely. You know, think about all the things
that we talk about every day, Michael, it's it's typically politics,
and it's so divisive. Sometimes parades, these types of victory parades,
it unifies the city. Sports is so unified, and that's
why I love sports. And it's just a great feeling,
you know, being an a joyous place like we are in,

(02:06):
like I'm in today, Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love
on Valentine State.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
O Less.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I know, that's just that's just too many storylines. John
Decker joining us. He's in Philadelphia for the Eagles victory
parade after winning the Super Bowl over the Kansas City Chiefs. Now,
I know that you're a big wig in tennis. I
forgot you're you're on some big committee and you've been
a lifelong tennis player. Yeah, we had an idea. Mainly
it's Jeffrey. You wanted me to spring it on you,

(02:33):
and we're thinking we need to we need a Wimbledon
for pickleball.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Could you make that happen.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
I'll see what I can do.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I've got connections.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'll he told me you hate pickleball, and if I said.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
That, I know.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
There's nothing that you could say, Michael that would upset
me in any way. I'm in such a great mood today.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
To be here.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
It's cold here today, don't get me wrong, but it's
just a really happy feeling that is evident among everybody
that's in the crowd here.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
All right, Well, not so fast, because I've got one
last thing for you. So since we started doing this show,
which I don't know why the guys all thought we
would be strange bedfellows, and we've actually gotten very close.
I have an enormous amount of respect for you your
life's work. That doesn't mean we agree on everything all
the time, but who cares. It's just as fun to
disagree as it is to agree. And we all have

(03:29):
America's best interest at heart. So you've you've literally become
my favorite. So one of the things it's been driving
me crazy is who you look like, because I've been
seeing it and seeing it, but I haven't been able
to put my finger on it until this morning. Has
anybody ever told you here? Has anybody ever told you
what Kevin kneelan from Sarah It Live?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Oh? No, I never heard that one. I'll look that up.
One that's interesting. No, never heard that one at all.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Did anybody ever tell you look like Dick Vermeil? No,
I'm just kidding, all right. Well, the Eagles got.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Themselves a second Super Bowl. John Decker doesn't even care
what row he's in back at the White House. He's
front row for the parade in the city of brother
in Love. You have a great time, enjoy your championship.
