Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan and if

0:03

you're watching our show, you probably know and

0:05

your boy has undergone a little bit

0:07

of a body transformation and I gotta tell

0:09

you Peloton has helped me on my

0:11

fitness journey. It got the ball rolling for

0:13

me because I watched my wife on

0:16

the Peloton. She takes all these great classes.

0:18

She has her favorite instructors. I listen

0:20

to the music. I'm a big music guy.

0:22

It gets me fired up. Makes me

0:24

want to take part in this fitness phenomenon

0:26

known as Peloton. Peloton offers a variety

0:28

of challenging classes, from four -week strength building

0:30

classes to running, cycling, and everything in between.

0:33

Peloton will help you achieve your

0:35

goals, and maybe you'll have some fun

0:37

along the way. I know I

0:39

have. It's backed by thousands of members

0:41

whose lives have been changed. Be

0:43

part of that group. Telling you, I'm

0:45

better for it, having it in

0:47

my office, sometimes I can put on

0:49

the baseball game, sometimes I can

0:51

put on a soccer match, some other

0:53

times I'm totally locked in on

0:55

an emo playlist. Find your push. Find

0:57

your power with Peloton at OnePeloton.com. Now's

1:02

a good time to remember where Tequila's

1:04

story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo

1:07

invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing

1:09

here, Cuervo? Cuervo. Anytime someone says

1:11

Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do

1:13

know that to be true, but

1:15

even during and reads like Cuervo. I

1:17

think he could lay out, especially

1:19

for one of our great partners. Sweet,

1:21

delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has

1:23

stayed true to its roots. The same

1:25

family, the same land, the same

1:27

passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that

1:29

started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The

1:31

tequila that invented tequila. Ruximo, Cuervo.com.

1:33

Please drink responsibly. Cuervo. This

2:02

Greg, just a question. May seem random

2:04

to you. Who's more handsome? Andrew Hawkins

2:06

or Method Man? I

2:08

had never considered that in my life.

2:10

I'm gonna abstain until I see a

2:12

photo. Excellent work on your feet. That's

2:15

why he's the tap dancer that he

2:17

is, an improv artist all known to

2:19

all. Which do you know what they

2:21

look like less? Actually, I did improv

2:23

in my acting class and slayed like

2:25

everybody would. Christopher will tell you. You

2:27

introduced Wu -Tang Clan via song in

2:29

Las Vegas. Right. At Circa. Yeah. So

2:31

you know what Method Man looks like.

2:33

Right. I don't know Walter... Walter

2:36

yeah Walter who no, what's

2:38

his name Walter Hawkins Andrew? I

2:40

don't know him. I'm sorry.

2:42

You're in the same stable. That's

2:44

uh Wow that one poorly.

2:46

I'm sorry former Brown's receiver Mogul.

2:48

No, don't know Walter Hawkins.

2:50

No Ask him if he knows

2:52

who you he works with

2:54

us. Why would he he's a

2:56

he's a because he's our

2:58

teammate he works shows. Sorry. I

3:01

know everybody He's right

3:03

about that. I mean he's right. He

3:05

can't know everybody. Can't know everybody. This is

3:07

this is a revelation. You don't know

3:09

what Andrew Hawkins looks like. He has

3:11

no idea what we're talking about. Walter

3:13

Hawkins. I thought you said Walter. Andrew

3:16

Hawkins is a former Browns receiver. Okay,

3:18

I don't have a nice career. He's

3:20

been doing shows with us for months.

3:23

Years. Yeah, he's been in

3:25

this series for years. I doubt

3:27

that, but I apologize to Andrew. He

3:29

has worked with us for years.

3:31

To be fair, not on a Greg

3:33

Cody Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you.

3:35

Very true. I've never met him. I've

3:37

never shared air with him. I now

3:39

see him. He's a good -looking man.

3:41

Okay. Found a very well -trimmed beard.

3:43

Is he better looking than Method

3:45

Man? I wouldn't say that. Oh,

3:47

wow. So we're just hope for two now.

3:49

Walter Hawkins. I'm putting you down for math. Where

3:51

are we on George Clooney? Where are we

3:53

on Clooney? There's an update. There's

3:55

an update. And this is a segment

3:57

I like to call Mike was right. I

3:59

love those. So do you

4:01

want to do it as a victory lap? No,

4:03

no, no, no, no, especially. Do I have

4:05

to? Don't make me. I don't want to.

4:08

I don't want to pretend I'm running. So

4:10

George Clooney, who has a dye

4:12

job but is famously salt and pepper

4:14

guy, a guy owns the grade

4:16

look. Everyone here yesterday was having a

4:18

go for him, not considering that,

4:20

hey, George Clooney is doing this for

4:22

a role. So

4:24

here is him given an interview

4:26

to Gail King talking about

4:28

the dye job in question. I

4:31

have to take a moment, looking at you with the dark

4:33

hair. I know it's not good. I didn't

4:35

say it wasn't good. Oh, it's good. But it's

4:37

drawing to me. I wonder what it's like for

4:39

you when you get up in the morning and

4:41

you look. By now, I'm sure you're used to

4:43

it. I'm not used to it. You never get

4:45

used to it. You don't. Listen, I started getting

4:47

gray It throws me a little bit. Yeah. So

4:50

I've been gray most of my life. So it's

4:52

not my favorite look in my wife. Yes. She

4:54

doesn't, she thinks it's funny. What do

4:56

your children say? Well, they laugh

4:58

at it because Honestly, nothing makes you

5:00

look older than being 63. It's

5:04

genuinely bizarre to

5:06

have somebody who's been

5:08

a sex symbol

5:11

for the last 30

5:13

years in this

5:15

country be uncomfortable because

5:17

he people are

5:19

able to mock him as not

5:21

attractive. I mean, where are we in

5:23

life if everyone's having a go

5:25

at George Clooney's appearance? Like,

5:27

really? This guy could have

5:30

perennially been sexiest man on the planet for

5:32

several years running. He's a charming devil. Even

5:34

look at how self -deprecating he is there, even

5:36

with I might have just fallen in love

5:38

with dyed hair George Clooney, because I've long

5:40

since been in love with Silver Fox George

5:42

Clooney. He looks like a museum piece. He

5:44

looks like he's made of wax because of

5:46

the hair. He needs a little wispy mustache

5:48

to go with it. It's like when people

5:50

do those viral stunts where they're like, we

5:52

pretended to be homeless for a day to

5:54

see how people, it's like George Clooney's pretending

5:56

to be ugly. And now he's living his

5:58

life as someone who's not hot. And it's,

6:00

wow, he's like, this is terrible. Reminds me

6:02

of my dad. Well Bill

6:04

Cody when when I was like a

6:06

teenager and he was aging he's like

6:08

he's in his 50s or whatever He

6:11

had really gray hair, okay? He was the

6:13

kind of guy who it would be totally

6:15

gray one day and then you would see

6:17

my dad the next day and he would

6:19

have a shiny jet black hair. That was

6:21

my dad. Your dad. That was my father.

6:23

Your dad would like stun me with his

6:25

eyebrows. No. Listen,

6:28

my mother was mortified because

6:30

Papi during his heyday

6:32

leadership days would go from

6:35

straight gray to straight

6:37

black from one day to the next every

6:39

six months or so. Yeah, you can't

6:41

do that. You can't go like night to

6:43

day. You got to either stay on

6:45

top of it or progress. Like that's shocking.

6:47

It's like, remember when Vince McMahon came

6:49

out of hiding? She's like, whoa, why

6:51

does he look like he's about to

6:53

welcome you into a haunted mansion? Yeah,

6:55

my dad loved Grecian formula was the

6:57

name of the product. And the funniest

6:59

part was that Nobody would say anything

7:01

like he wouldn't explain his altered appearance.

7:03

No, it could be spoken. It couldn't

7:06

be spoken. What's buried was it? What

7:08

is it with men of that generation?

7:10

I've never seen my grandfather. He's I

7:12

think 84. I've never seen him with

7:14

a gray hair So I think he's

7:16

got natural black hair the entire time.

7:18

I don't know. He

7:20

went to the hospital. Mike's

7:22

father has a perfect head of hair

7:24

that doesn't have a gray hair in it.

7:26

It's got some gray on the sideburns.

7:28

But no, my dad is often accused of

7:30

dying his hair. And I'd be all

7:32

over that too. I've been trying to prove

7:34

this one for a long time. No,

7:36

not the case, although lots of Botox. The

7:39

Latin man, though, there's something happening

7:41

here with the Latin man. Greg

7:43

can go from. I

7:45

think your mom has probably been frustrated

7:47

by a couple of times where your dad

7:50

has let it go to gray and

7:52

then sharply goes rust after that That McMahon

7:54

photo is always shocking. You cannot come

7:56

out of hiding looking like that. That seems

7:58

natural. It's the mustache. You cannot come

8:00

out of hiding looking like that. mean Greg

8:02

Williams did it too though like that

8:04

may be the way to come out of

8:06

hiding. You can't come out of hiding

8:09

innocent of crimes with all of that. It

8:11

can't be that. Thin mustache that's the

8:13

key. It's been suggested on the internet that

8:15

this thin Mustache was put in place

8:17

to cover up a botch of some sort

8:19

because if you've seen him since he's

8:21

Done away with the mustache and he looks

8:23

much better than he did now like

8:26

if you look around the lip It is

8:28

a little puffy. I think that this

8:30

was a disguise distract you from what was

8:32

going on underneath Yeah, I see that

8:34

lopsided mustache Stan Van Gundy

8:36

apologizes profusely from a hotel in

8:38

Houston. I told him he has nothing

8:40

to apologize for. We have not

8:42

had better segments than that recently. In

8:44

the middle of it though, because

8:47

I'm trying to reach

8:49

Stan Van Gundy and we've

8:51

discombobulated him, I

8:54

believe we just

8:56

witnessed Stan Van Gundy's

8:58

worst public out

9:00

of touch moment. in

9:02

the history of out of touch moments. I

9:04

thought you were gonna say that's what he

9:06

apologized for when you started saying he apologized.

9:08

I was like oh okay I'm glad he

9:10

like thought about it for a few seconds

9:12

and was like yeah that was crazy it's

9:14

much better to get fired with millions of

9:17

dollars than what the vast majority of people

9:19

get which is a swift kick in the

9:21

ass out the door. If if Samson had

9:23

merely said what Stan Van Gundy was saying.

9:25

He might not have been invited back.

9:27

Oh, please. Yes, he would. OK. Well,

9:29

he said things similar. But even Samson

9:31

texted me afterwards. said way worse. Samson

9:34

texted me afterwards. He's like, I've never

9:36

even thought that. That is like so

9:38

crazy. So we even asked him, have

9:40

you ever been fired from a job

9:42

where you haven't been paid millions of

9:44

dollars? And he cited Wisconsin. And

9:46

we did some research. He apparently

9:48

had four years left on a five

9:50

year deal when he was fired

9:52

from Wisconsin. All of the articles in

9:54

the trip are paywalled and I

9:56

can't find a exact number But it

9:58

I'm assuming they paid out as

10:01

contracts. So maybe it wasn't millions but

10:03

now I don't want to be

10:05

toned deaf to the shame that comes

10:07

with being fired like I've never

10:09

had to deal with shams tweeting out

10:11

that I've been fired and then

10:13

people like yet Well knock on wood

10:15

but There's that where you get

10:17

a nice little multi -million dollar compensate

10:19

the compensation package or you know the

10:22

shame of your family leaving you, and

10:24

not being able to afford a roof

10:27

over your head, or heat in the

10:29

winter, or we have to give up

10:31

the dog because I can't pay for

10:33

the dog's food anymore, or

10:35

asking a friend for a ride for

10:37

work, or explaining this gap

10:39

in your resume when you're trying

10:41

to get another job. I

10:44

mean, there is no

10:46

comparison. A

10:48

couple of things. First of all, I thought

10:50

Stan Van Gundy was calling to apologize

10:52

for his take, that reading a book when

10:54

you haven't read a book is sort

10:56

of weird. But in this case, you

10:59

know what? I agree with everything Stan Van

11:01

Gundy said. I think when you're fired, and

11:03

luckily I've never been fired, I imagine that

11:05

when you're fired you don't go first to

11:07

well at least I'm still making a lot

11:09

of money you go first to the ego

11:11

blow and to the shame and to the

11:13

embarrassment and maybe maybe to the anger if

11:15

you don't think you deserve to be because

11:18

you don't have to it doesn't have to

11:20

be the first thing you think about because

11:22

if you're in one of these extremely lucrative

11:24

jobs it's probably not something you think about

11:26

And that's the luxury of being fired with

11:28

one of these high paying jobs. I am

11:30

going to have to make Stan Van Gundy.

11:32

I'm going to make fun of him when

11:34

I talk to him because I do understand

11:36

how everyone heard that the same way I

11:39

did with, oh poor Mike Budenholzer. Now he

11:41

has to listen to us say he's not

11:43

a good coach. By the way,

11:45

I was saying he wasn't a good coach when

11:47

he won Coach of the Year. He won

11:49

61 games in Atlanta, and I didn't believe he

11:51

was a good coach. He won, he won Giannis,

11:53

the only championship he's gonna ever win him,

11:55

and I don't believe he's a good coach. Someone

11:57

please fire me and tell me I'm a bad

11:59

coach. I want to be a fired college

12:01

football coach. So bad. Tell me I suck right

12:03

about me on the Reddit message boards. I

12:05

don't care. Bad last name for a coach. Bad

12:08

last name for a coach. Yeah, you can't

12:10

be a budden holzer and expect to go through

12:12

life's success. All right. So, I

12:14

think he's been pretty successful. Put it on

12:16

the poll at Lebatard Show. Can you be

12:18

named Budenholzer and be successful? But

12:20

I want to go back for a second,

12:22

just quickly. Stan

12:24

sounded out of touch as a

12:26

competitionaholic who's saying, it's such a

12:28

great shame to be fired, to

12:30

be told by everybody, ridiculed, you're

12:32

bad at your job, you failed,

12:34

you failed you and your friends.

12:36

But for him not to understand, I'm

12:39

going to lose my pet. Mike

12:41

Ryan Mike Ryan created concocted a

12:43

scenario where someone has been fired and

12:45

can no longer afford to have

12:47

a pet Hold on. a Greg Cody

12:50

Wednesday. So we have to clarify

12:52

you mean a an animal not a

12:54

fart. Yeah, that's a good point

12:56

Jess Jess an excellent point. Thank you

12:58

a pet versus right no So

13:00

Mike Ryan said I I want I

13:02

13:17

he is absolutely. I need a spray

13:19

bottle like you're an animal and I just

13:22

stop doing that. Mike today is going

13:24

to watch more ESPN than he's watched in

13:26

a long time because Kevin Clark and

13:28

Fine Bomb are coming up here soon. But

13:31

13:33

little bit. What are you laughing about,

17:32

you back on the subject of NBA coaches because

17:34

the athletic put out there they do this thing

17:36

every year where they get a bunch of people

17:38

to vote on like most overrated player and it's

17:41

it's like other NBA players voting on it and

17:43

one of the questions that they asked there were

17:45

73 players that voted on this and said aside

17:47

from your own current coach who is the worst

17:49

coach in the league so I was reading all

17:51

of the results to all these questions last night

17:53

to Lehman and I got to this one and

17:55

I was like I don't know who this person

17:57

is so They must be the worst coach, because

17:59

I've never heard of them, and I said their

18:02

name to him, and he watches a ton of

18:04

basketball, and he's like, I've never heard of this

18:06

man in my life. But do you guys know

18:08

who Brian Keefe is? No. No.

18:10

No, I don't know who Brian Keefe is.

18:12

Does anybody? No. No. Who

18:14

is Brian Keefe? Apparently he's the head coach

18:16

of the Wizards. What? He must be really

18:18

bad at that. He must be really bad

18:20

at doing that. But when he loses his

18:22

job, he's not gonna be talking to his

18:24

wife saying, I think we need to take

18:27

our daughter out of ballet. Say rich guy. I

18:29

want to run some numbers by you

18:31

guys as Mike Ryan and thank you

18:33

for the clarification Jess It is not

18:35

a pet as in the Greg Cody

18:37

household where they refer to farts as

18:40

the letting of a pet It's the

18:42

actual loss of a pet which is

18:44

where Mike Ryan lost me and went

18:46

a bridge too far However an article

18:48

that I read okay about a pill

18:50

and there a lot of ethical questions

18:52

around it It's called loyal it can

18:54

extend the life of your pets And

18:56

when they did ran some numbers,

18:58

I was surprised by a couple

19:01

of things. First of all, 47

19:03

% of American households have a

19:05

dog. stunned by that. I

19:07

did not think it would be that high.

19:09

At Levitard's show, 47 % under or over

19:11

American households that have a dog. That's

19:13

a Whits and Wagers question. Have you guys

19:15

ever played the board game Whits and

19:18

Wagers? I'm not even familiar. Oh my god,

19:20

it's so great, Dan. It's a game

19:22

where there's like these questions and every answer

19:24

is a number. So it's like, what

19:26

percentage of American families own a dog? What

19:28

percentage of Americans have tattoos? What year

19:30

was the Sistine Chapel painted? Like things like

19:32

that where it has to be an

19:35

answer. That's a number. And then you write

19:37

down your guess on a little whiteboard

19:39

and you put it all in the middle.

19:41

Everyone lines it up from smallest to

19:43

biggest. And then you wager on whose number

19:45

is closest. And once you get

19:47

going, you get a lot of money in the banking,

19:49

you start wagering more and more. And you're like, I

19:51

know what year the Mona Lisa was painted. I'm betting

19:54

the house on this. But you can also

19:56

put a fake number and try to get people off the

19:58

set, because if my sister's playing with me and I'm she

20:00

knows I know my art history, and whatever number I

20:02

put down's gonna be close, I'm gonna put down a

20:04

different number, then we can play mind games with each

20:06

other. Oh, it's the greatest game on earth, but this

20:08

pet question was one of them. It's

20:11

sounds ridiculous. It is

20:13

ginormous, and the other thing, that was in it,

20:15

how much do you think a gallon of

20:17

milk weighs? How much do you think it weighs?

20:19

Weighs? I know. Go ahead. Three pounds. Wrong.

20:21

You would have lost. I would have wagered the

20:23

over and I would have won because it's

20:25

like eight pounds. Really? It's crazy. This

20:27

game blows my mind consistently. That's

20:29

insane. Anyways, that's a plug for my second

20:32

favorite game behind monopoly deal, so you're welcome everyone.

20:34

But there are families that if you lose

20:36

their job, that is one more mouth to feed.

20:38

That service that feeds my dog

20:41

is on autopay. You know, you're

20:43

going to look at every single

20:45

itemized thing in your bill and

20:47

look at where to cut, and

20:49

some people will settle on, yeah,

20:51

I can't have my dog anymore.

20:53

The other number that surprised me,

20:55

and again, it's an ethical debate

20:57

because the pill has not been

20:59

FDA approved, but it is lengthening

21:02

the lives of pets. This

21:05

particular pill, some of

21:07

the testing that they've done,

21:09

76 % of pet owners,

21:12

three quarters of pet

21:14

owners, would go into

21:17

debt for their pet. What

21:20

are you laughing about? Just

21:22

the rhyme. You know, was great. Just

21:25

the rhyme? Yeah, and the rhythm

21:27

you said it, would go into

21:29

debt. for their pet three quarters

21:31

of pet owners and I'm assuming

21:33

birds are in here too I

21:35

love animals I love animals that

21:37

way but debt Mike Ryan is

21:39

concocting the scenario where you have

21:41

to throw your pet in the

21:43

street because you've been fired from

21:45

your job you could either give

21:47

it to someone else or take

21:49

it to a pound I'm sure

21:51

they'll be fine I actually took

21:53

that pill myself because I got

21:55

I got a dog in me

21:57

that dog well if you It

22:01

would have been so good if you

22:03

nailed it. You have a dog in you.

22:05

So and at very important. You have

22:08

a dog inside of you. Major

22:11

penalty five minutes.

22:13

Scrooving comedy. You can

22:16

hear his confidence. I heard

22:18

in your ear them say liar.

22:21

Still got his headphones are so loud. I

22:23

know they are loud. Where's the button

22:25

to turn him was so unfamiliar with the

22:27

term that he's like that surely has

22:29

to be improper grammar. He corrected

22:31

the grammar just enough to ruin the

22:33

joke. I have a dog in me.

22:35

I have a dog presently in me.

22:38

There is a dog that is fully inside me. Get

22:41

out of here. Yes. How

22:43

do you not know how penalties work? Yes. Five

22:46

minutes. I'll

22:54

tell you what happened, please

22:56

get the replay Chris don't wonder

22:58

he doesn't know how to

23:00

exit the studio I like that

23:02

there's some like scenario in

23:04

an alternate universe where like Roy

23:06

and Jeremy have never worked

23:09

on the same day and they've

23:11

never heard of each other

23:13

Jessica Some of your coworkers

23:15

yesterday got together for a party,

23:17

and I'm sorry I did not make

23:19

it. I wished to make it,

23:21

but I was told very late in

23:23

the proceedings that such a party

23:26

existed, and I missed it in the

23:28

slack. I don't know where it was in the

23:30

slack. Who attended that

23:32

moved you? The people

23:34

that had to drive a far

23:36

distance moved me, because I would not

23:38

have done the same for them.

23:42

a hard drive. Some people were on a red -eye that morning.

23:44

Some people showed up off a red

23:46

-eye from Vegas, and they looked pretty

23:49

tired. And I said, hmm, I'm

23:51

surprised you're here. But then I realized this is

23:53

a hair of the dog situation. You got to

23:55

keep it rolling. Oh, yeah. As soon as you

23:57

hit the pillow. a PK can't fix, right? Little

23:59

TSO, PK3. Little

24:02

TSO. But I

24:04

was very tired. I was very

24:06

tired. and I definitely

24:08

needed that drink. But I also said, this

24:10

means a lot to me. And

24:12

it was just a normal Tuesday where we could

24:14

drink, but that's all it was. Hey, let's go

24:16

out and have a couple of drinks. I'm like,

24:18

I need to be here for this, because I

24:20

love drinks. I have a dog

24:22

inside of me. Just another

24:24

Tuesday in Miami. Were you surprised

24:27

by any of those numbers? 76 %

24:29

of pet owners would go into debt

24:31

for their dog. Would you go

24:33

into debt for Willow? reality

24:36

is, owning a pet is really expensive. If something

24:38

goes wrong, I know Mike's dog had to get

24:40

a really expensive surgery done, and a lot of

24:42

people are in the position where they're like, my

24:44

dog is sick, they go to the vet, the

24:46

vet's like, we need to do this

24:48

emergency surgery if you don't, your dog's gonna die, or

24:50

your cat's gonna die, and it's gonna cost 10

24:52

grand, and maybe you don't have that money just laying

24:54

around, most people don't, and yeah, I could easily

24:57

see why you'd go into debt paying for something, especially

24:59

when it's a life or death situation, you care

25:01

about your pet, and you don't know what to do.

25:04

for my dog who had an

25:06

autoimmune disease, and it was life

25:09

saving, but she got it within the

25:11

first eight months of her life. It

25:13

turned out to be great because she's

25:15

lived a happy and full life there,

25:17

but it was 10 grand to save

25:19

my dog's life. In a single income

25:21

family, it wasn't easy. So bad to

25:23

get fired because you might lose your

25:25

pet. Yeah. Greg, how is it, Chris?

25:28

And you helped me with this because

25:30

we have not done enough of a

25:32

job today promoting your father's exactos and

25:34

your father's mock draft and your father's

25:36

podcast, the Greg Cody show

25:38

featuring Greg Cody. But you have

25:40

seen, Chris, you've been front row

25:42

seat witness to today's show through

25:44

Stan and Samson. careened live out

25:46

of control for a long time

25:48

and your dad spun out and

25:50

then he spun out and tried

25:52

to leave the studio didn't know

25:54

how the penalty box worked anymore

25:56

and tried to leave through a

25:58

door as if he didn't understand

26:00

how doors push the door called

26:02

Andrew Hawkins Walter Hawkins It's not

26:04

you spun out nothing great for

26:06

you in fairness Andrew Hawkins a

26:08

generic name Okay, if it's a

26:10

if you have a particularly unusual

26:12

name a more apt to place

26:14

a face than if you have

26:16

a name john smith or you

26:19

know the hawkins is i only

26:21

know one other hot andrew hawkins

26:23

is a very good looking man

26:25

so smith a man They both

26:27

look like they could be people

26:29

sexiest man of the year. Okay,

26:31

very good. I'm glad we finally

26:33

closed the loop on that. One

26:35

thing that I wanted to

26:37

do here today before we got

26:39

out of here is to

26:41

remember and celebrate because the sports

26:43

machine can move very fast

26:45

and it seems, I don't think

26:47

I have this wrong, more

26:49

often than not, we're talking around

26:52

here about somebody who died. Don't

26:55

know if it's more often than

26:57

not I would I would I

26:59

would doubt that it's it's too

27:02

often We're more often than we

27:04

ever have we're stopping to take

27:06

a somber tone about somebody who

27:08

left the mark on us in

27:10

the sports world when Mike Patrick,

27:12

during a time in football when

27:14

it was growing in this country,

27:16

when ESPN had the kind of

27:18

signature voice for 18 straight years

27:21

on Sunday Night Football because ESPN

27:23

was getting into the football game,

27:25

making it bigger and bigger in

27:27

America, one of the signature voices

27:29

was Mike Patrick. And

27:31

quietly... a great broadcaster for 20

27:33

years on Sunday night football.

27:35

Somehow, I would say, escaped much

27:37

of the withering criticism that

27:39

will come down on the head

27:41

of every broadcaster today, including

27:43

Al Michaels, because, oh, your tone's

27:46

not good there. Your energy's

27:48

not good. You sound like an

27:50

old man. Get out of

27:52

the way, old man. Mike Patrick,

27:54

universal praise, dies at the

27:56

age of 80. And Mike, I

27:58

don't know what you associate

28:00

with him, but what I associate

28:02

with him is talking to

28:04

him, hearing his dulcet voice, and

28:06

then being surprised when he

28:08

said what a rigorous smoker he

28:10

was. Like that just

28:13

being taken aback, just assuming

28:15

that he would be somebody

28:17

who would always protect those

28:19

blessed pipes. I loved

28:21

Mike Patrick on ACC basketball. Did a

28:23

lot of great memorable games with

28:25

Dick Vitale. I saw Dick Vitale posted

28:27

a tribute to Mike Patrick. When

28:29

he was the voice of Sunday Night

28:32

Football, paired with Joe Thysman, and

28:34

I know people had some feelings and

28:36

they were replaced. But for me, that

28:38

was when I was in high school watching

28:40

Sunday Night. football and it was Markey game

28:43

and he was a voice attached to it

28:45

and he was one of my favorites. I

28:47

love that broadcast team. I thought they were

28:49

hilarious. I love Mike Patrick style of doing

28:51

those games. So I was made very sad

28:53

by that. I know he hadn't been doing

28:55

it for a while. And

28:57

yeah, it's just another reminder that

28:59

the older that you get, the

29:01

more of these people that have

29:04

had influence on your life, on

29:06

your career even are going to

29:08

go. Do you know how rare

29:10

it is these days when criticism

29:12

is the main sport? to be

29:14

a broadcaster that can live your

29:17

lifespan and then die and you

29:19

will not hear very much of

29:21

a bad word as any of

29:23

that was happening. Like even even

29:25

Joe Buck, like a child prodigy

29:27

is viewed as someone that, oh,

29:30

he doesn't root for my team,

29:32

or he's partial. If you're always

29:34

broadcasting the games, I just, I

29:36

don't think that people understand how

29:38

difficult it is to be someone

29:40

who is quietly professional in the

29:43

broadcast space, never to look at

29:45

me, so it never becomes Gus

29:47

Johnson, or whatever it is has

29:49

personality that evolves the game, but.

29:52

doesn't stay totally out of the way

29:54

of the game because Mike Patrick was

29:56

sort of like Vern Lundquist in this

29:58

space where you're like, oh my god,

30:01

his voice reminds me of a Saturday

30:03

afternoon or a Sunday night raspy. It

30:05

seems like he's got a drink in

30:07

his hand. It sounds like he might

30:09

be wearing a... A broadcaster colorful broadcaster

30:11

coat and he might I might hear

30:13

the tinkle of a glass of ice

30:15

He's calling Sunday night foot. There might

30:17

be a reason for that There might

30:19

be a reason that that type of

30:21

broadcaster that reminds you that reminds you

30:24

of hey They could be doing this

30:26

with a cocktail in their hands. It's

30:28

because they probably were back then because

30:30

it was more acceptable And we're never

30:32

getting those guys back guys with that

30:34

vibe don't exist anymore Who's allowed to

30:36

skate now? I'd say this I'm asking

30:38

you guys this question genuinely who's allowed

30:40

to skate as a broadcaster who lives

30:42

an entire lifespan on a stage as

30:44

large as something like 18 years on

30:47

Sunday night football because you guys saw

30:49

how the fangs came out for Dick

30:51

Vitale and Lee Corso. Like, you know, Mike

30:54

Patrick bowed out before the criticism

30:56

got to him. No, I don't

30:58

think so. I remember there was

31:00

a website that, uh, you

31:02

know, fired Joe Morgan was a blog that that

31:04

popped up when I was in high school. wasn't

31:07

so much social media, but it was

31:09

these blogs. And Mike Patrick got replaced from

31:11

Sunday Night Football because people felt a

31:13

certain way about him. And then as a

31:15

Simon started getting worse and worse as

31:17

he got older, and then social media came

31:19

along and then you realize, oh, people

31:22

don't feel the way that I feel about

31:24

Mike Patrick, who I thought was generally

31:26

awesome. And I just miss the time where,

31:28

yeah, people had their opinions maybe, but

31:30

they weren't just totally pushed into those opinions

31:32

because of social media just trying to

31:34

gather steam behind a take. Like,

31:36

I thought broadcasting when I was growing up

31:38

was amazing. I didn't have any bad opinions

31:40

about anybody. Hell, man, I thought Phil Sims

31:42

was good. And now you open up

31:44

the internet and you find out, like, wait, no one

31:46

thinks anyone is good? This is kind of bullshit. Is

31:49

that where we are? Like, no one's any

31:51

good now. Noah Eagle

31:53

is getting a lot of praise, right? Yeah,

31:55

but he also gets shit, too. Ernie Johnson. Who's

31:58

above reproach? So I think that there's

32:00

like a few guys in... think Buck is

32:03

like coming out of the other side

32:05

like he's not nearly as polarizing because now

32:07

he's been around for over a generation

32:09

There's a like the people that are taste

32:11

makers right now work kids growing up

32:13

recognizing that Joe Buck is a soundtrack of

32:15

a big game He's had like a

32:17

I don't give a shit vibe for the

32:19

last like six years that I think

32:21

has resonated mm -hmm, and I think that

32:23

Harlan Joe Tess Bobbushu

32:25

isn't on the hockey side, Joe Buck.

32:27

Iron Eagle. Like Spiroditas? Well,

32:29

no one can say Moe Alley Cox

32:31

the way that Spiroditas can. you. One o

32:33

'clock window, Moe Alley Cox! That's

32:35

Spiroditas. But yeah, there's a

32:37

few guys there. I've

32:40

just lost so many Moe Alley Cox

32:42

overs 13 and a half yards. Because he

32:44

catches a 12 -yard touchdown. That's the thing

32:46

you gotta bet the any time. Can

32:48

we put it on the pole? Can anyone

32:50

scream? Touchdown Moe Alley

32:52

Cox the way that Spirodita can. Just

32:55

do. You're getting one. Just do. But it might

32:57

be over seven and a yards. You're gonna get one

32:59

for six yards? a touchdown, though. Oh,

33:02

the FC South. at one

33:04

o 'clock Windows Spiro beautiful. It's a

33:06

great day. like Colts Raiders one o

33:08

'clock. They got to come over to

33:10

this side. Voices that belong in

33:12

time zones. Spiro Ditas one o 'clock

33:14

AFC South. Get me there, pal. Ernie

33:16

Johnson is above reproach, right? Everyone

33:18

likes like if I were

33:20

to say highest of the Q

33:23

ratings anywhere, not going to

33:25

cause any polarizations. What's

33:27

the top of the food chain on

33:29

I like just hearing this person around

33:31

sports? I have no bad opinions of

33:33

him. I don't think he roots against

33:35

my team I don't think he's an

33:37

asshole. I don't think he's an egomaniac.

33:39

I don't dislike his opinions He's just

33:41

a nice man on television a nice

33:43

person on television. I think Bob Lee

33:45

was like that Yeah, I think Mike

33:47

Torrico is sort of like that just

33:49

benign in a good way not polarizing

33:51

very professional You'll never hear a

33:53

woman on this list because I was going to say

33:55

Doris Burke, but Doris Burke. But

33:58

she's right. She's right that

34:00

you by virtue of simply being

34:02

a woman talking about sports,

34:04

she could be all of these

34:06

people. And it's polarizing when

34:08

it need not be Chris Whittingham.

34:12

Steve Martin also had that poll come back, by the way.

34:14

Does he suck at everything except soccer? At

34:17
