Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Made it to a Thursday, It's our one. We'll talk
to the host of the Olympics. Mike Turko will stop
buy in about twenty minutes. He'll join us live from Paris.
Chris mad Dog Russo will join us coming up a
little bit later on as well. A lot of topics
to dive into. Operator Tyler is sitting by taking your
phone calls. We'll have a pull question Play of the Day.
(00:25):
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick
Show eight seven to seven to three DP show. Good
morning to those watching on Peacock, Thank you for allowing
us into your homes. Those listening on radio, Fox Sports Radio,
iHeartRadio as well ESPN Radio in some markets and over
(00:45):
four hundred cities carrying this program.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
All right, in no particular order.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The Olympics have already started, and some drama in soccer yesterday.
And I'm curious when a sporting event is officially over,
because they they brought everybody back Argentina and Morocco two
hours later because they were looking at a review and
then they realized maybe something shouldn't have counted, and then
(01:10):
come on back onto the pitch. And it's always one
of those gray areas where they go how much stoppage time?
How much an extra time? I don't know, sixteen minutes,
sixteen minutes? Yeah, okay, I don't know if anybody keeps
track of the person who keeps track of stoppage time.
It seems like an inexact science, like you know when
official will mark a football and you'll go, wow, how
(01:31):
did you come up with that? But it's an inexact
science that we sort of go okay, kind of like
a strike zone, like that didn't look like a strike.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yea, it was to me, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But the Olympics have already got some If you didn't
know the Olympics had started, you probably knew do now
because there was an incident yesterday, but it was Morocco
with a big win over Argentina and var that was
brought to everybody's tension yesterday. But when you think about him,
we've had sporting events. How about golf where somebody finishes
(02:05):
their round, then all of a sudden somebody will try
to call in and talk to I don't know, some
PGA official and say, I think Jimmy Lipper lifted a
rock and he wasn't allowed to lift a rock, or
they moved.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Some sand in the bunker.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That stuff's happened, and then you have to adjust the
scorecard accordingly, or somebody signs their scorecard and it's inaccurate,
and then they get penalized or decueued. From that, you
go back to the seventy two Olympics with the US
basketball team in the Soviet Union. Now they didn't leave
the floor, but the United States won the gold medal twice,
(02:44):
and then they said no, upon further review, we're going
to replay the final seconds again. They had a full
length pass, full court pass, scored the layup, and then
Russia wins the gold medal.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Football, it's happened before. Where you go off.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Field and they're like, no, come on back on the field,
Like when is it official when it's zero zero zero?
When you leave the field, Like at what point you say, okay,
now it's now it's official, Like it seems like you know,
we don't have an official official. Okay, this match is over,
this game is over. Nope, come on back out. And
(03:23):
that's what happened yesterday. In soccer. Two hours later, no
fans are there, players got to wait around.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Seems like they would have gotten it right, maybe a
little quicker than two hours, Seaton, how would you explain
this yesterday? I love though that you wait for two
hours just for the dude to do like the box
var signment.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
No goal.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
And there were no fans, like you're waiting for that
reaction of bomb. That's var is like one of those
things that everyone hates but you love.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Right.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It's called the VARs, the video assisted referee, and so
they can it's like instant replay. There's a guy somebody there,
a person who's watching and they're like they can see
a foul and be like, oh, I think we might
have had a foul there, and then they'll go back
and look, or they can aid the call that was
already made. And the problem is is that like the
spirit of offside, you know you're supposed to be behind
(04:22):
that defender, but you wouldn't notice that a toe or
a kneecap was off. And now with that video and
the line that they draw, you could say, ooh they're
about a centimeter off. Sorry, no goal, or you know
your toes are sticking out.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Or okay, but why did it take two hours?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Uh see, that's the problem I have.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
If you use this once again, we don't call it
instant replay. There's a lot of wasted time.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
There was a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No what if Argentina says we're not coming back. What
if they're in street clothes, they've showered up.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And they're they're leaving showering, there will be no showing.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This first hour brought to you by ti rac dot com,
the official tire expert of the program. Go to tire
rack dot com slash Dan try the tire decision guy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I used tire rack yesterday. I went there.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm looking for some sporty tires for my one of
my cars. Yeah, and I actually went to look at
the Michelin tires that they have there. Tire rack dot
com is the way tire buying should be, all right,
So I have a poll question. Got a play of
the day coming up as well, and a few other
items in once again no particular order. It looks like
(05:33):
TNT is being shut out of the NBC, Amazon, ESPN,
NBA rights deal. And this is what's surprising. So now
it's official, So you know we look at TNT with
their basketball coverage, but we really look at just you know,
the pregame and postgame halftime with Ernie and Kenny and
(05:56):
Shaq and Charles, and this was you know, Kyle game
day type atmosphere. Nobody's been able to replicate this. Networks
have tried, but you can't because you can't replicate Shack
and Charles and certainly Ernie landing the planes there and
Kenny providing some sanity. But I'm if I'm the commissioner
(06:18):
of the NBA, Adam Silver, I don't want to lose
this show. But I also have to be responsible physically,
fiscally responsible because Charles is only going to do this,
I don't know, a couple more years, maybe at the most.
He said, if it leaves TNT, then he's not going
to do it after this next season. Charles is sixty
(06:41):
one years of age, he's doing well. Maybe he doesn't
want to continue to do this as often as he
has been anyway, So look, am I disappointed that we'll
lose this at TNT. Yes, But also I have to
look at this as a longer play. The commissioner's looking
at a ten year, eleven year deal. This isn't about TNT.
(07:04):
This is about global, This is about streaming, This about Amazon,
This about Peacock, NBC keeping ESPN in the game. This
isn't about TNT. They want to think about global coverage
of the NBA, not hey, TNT and TBS. So, yes,
(07:25):
you lose Shack, you lose Charles, You're gonna lose them
at some point anyway. Why not think, Okay, this is
going to hurt initially short term, long term, bigger picture
it makes more sense. I mean, Amazon is global, TNT
is not. Charles is wonderful, so is Shack. They're thinking
(07:47):
bigger picture of how can I get more people in
more places to see our product. They've already gone global
when you think about what they did before anybody else.
David Stern the ninety to dream team that allowed them
to go global. Now, all of a sudden, you had
China interested, and you had Russia interested in the NBA.
(08:10):
Players coming to play in the NBA couldn't wait to
play against you in the Olympics, even though you were
going to lose by fifty. David Stern had you know,
and this is the mentor to Adam Silver. He had
this global view of this is what the sports should be.
And as much as we hate losing TNT and TBS,
(08:31):
in a bigger picture, a longer play, it makes a
lot of sense. Plus it didn't help the TNT's boss
came out and said, we don't need the NBA. That's
not a good thing to say if you are desperately,
you know, trying to crawl your way back, scratch your
way back to say hey, wait, wait, wait, hold on,
we want to match the deal that Amazon put forward.
(08:54):
They moved, they moved forward, and they moved on without them.
So you get one more year of Shaq and Charles
and then that's it.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We did wonder about could you do this where they
created their own show, And I've talked to Charles about
this where let's say you do a wrap up show,
a wrap up show after this year where people after
the NBA, all the games are over, then they're going
to have their own that they'll farm out.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Whoever wants this show.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You can go get it wherever you're going to put it, whatever,
you know, streaming service, wherever you put it, you know,
maybe leave it on TNT, but you know, then you
can let people consume that if they want to Can
you do a pre in a halftime, in a post.
I don't think you can. Plus, you're not going to
(09:45):
have the video rights to be able to show those
highlights if you're not a carrier a partner of the NBA.
But I'm wondering how they salvage this with Charles, And look,
I'm trying to be sensitive to Charles. My job is
to follow the story and get the newsmakers on. And
I said to Fritzie, let's hold off on Charles. You know,
(10:08):
when he wants to talk, then we'll have him on
the show and we can talk about it. Because he
said a lot, probably too much, and you know, he said,
I don't want to talk about this anymore. All right,
Now we have a resolution. Now we have finality here,
and unfortunately this is it. This will be the last
year that we're you know, we're treated to TNT, and
you start to think about these shows. I mean, I
(10:30):
was fortunate to be on a show. Granted it was
Sports Center, but we created Sports Center in a different
way when I was there, with Keith Oberman and College
Game Day, they created something different TNT, you know, with
the Shaq and Shaq and Charles and everybody else there.
(10:50):
They created something, and everybody tries to do that. There's
always imitators. Mike and Tony pardon the interruption, they created
something that every buddy tried to imitate, and you can't
because you can't replicate Mike and Tony their relationship. You know,
there's only one Shack, there's only one Charles, you know,
(11:10):
college game day that they've had interchangeable parts, but the approach,
the atmosphere, you know Fox, you know they're big newon Kickoff.
They've tried to replicate this. It's difficult to do because
they've got a head start. Somebody's going to try to
replicate you know what we've seen with Shaq and Charles.
It just won't happen. There's not personalities like that. I
(11:34):
also saw where Around the Horn may come to an end.
I was shocked, but then once again, I don't know
the inner workings of what ESPN's up against and money
that they're spending and what's the return on your investment.
But Tony Reality has been hosting that for twenty years.
Max Kellerman started out. I think that was two thousand
(11:56):
and two, maybe two thousand and one, two thousand and
two and to me, it's a great show. You know,
it's thirty minutes, it moves quickly, a lot of topics,
a lot of different journalists around the country get an
opportunity to use that as a springboard and Tony reality.
As I've said before, I would have made him the
(12:18):
host of Jeopardy. I think that much of his talent.
And I don't know what he's going to do after this,
because that's all he's done is Around the Horn. I mean,
these shows come and go. You know, there's an expiration
date to this. Unfortunately we have that with TNT. Pardon
the interruption is going to end one day with Mike
and Tony, They'll still try to put two people in
(12:39):
there and you know, see if they can create that
magic around the Horns going away. Sports Center is not
what it once was. College Game Day is still there,
full speed ahead and will continue to do so. But
you know, that's the sad part sometimes, like we're treated
to great shows and then all of a sudden the
shows end. But it happens, you know, with netw TV,
(13:00):
with HBO or you know, Amazon, it comes to an end.
You hate to see it, but it does. And when
I saw that with Around the Horn. I expected TNT
to lose the NBA. I did not expect Around the
Horn to perhaps go away. So we'll take a break here.
Mike Turrico, he is going to join us from Paris
(13:23):
and set to call in get his thoughts on being
the host. So Mike's gonna do. He's hosting the Olympics.
He's got the NBA on NBC, so he'll be doing that.
He's also got Football Night in America on Sunday night.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
He's a busy guy, busy guy. He's kind of the
Ryan Seacrest of sports announcment. Yeah, sure, it feels like
there's a job opening. Hey, how about Mike Tarrico.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We'll take a break just getting started here on this Thursday,
back after this Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 7 (14:18):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called Over Promised you see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by

little harder. It's gonna be the best after show pod

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Age seven to seven to three.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle at
DP show. Come up with our poll question, got our
play of the day coming up as well. Mike Tarico,
NBC Olympics primetime host Sunday Night Football. He's got the
NBA coming up as well on NBC Live coverage of
the opening ceremony, not ceremonies. That'll be tomorrow at noon
(15:36):
Eastern and on NBC and watch it primetime at seven
thirty Eastern on NBC and Peacock.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Uh, bonjour, come move.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
That too, bon sure? Dan?
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Yeah, you you have done this. You know it is
opening ceremony, not ceremonies. That's how you can tell somebody's
been a part of the varsity team.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay, now, is the Eiffel Tower actually behind you?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Hang on, let me take it off my desk. It's real.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
That's that's the real thing, in honor of one of
our favorites, Brett Musburger.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You are looking lot.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I like that tower. I like that it is our
seven point road dog though.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It's a real deal. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
The Olympics already started, which is kind of strange to have,
you know, some matches here before the opening ceremony. And
we've got controversy, Mike, with what happened in soccer yesterday.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Something always happens, buses first event, something that doesn't go right.
It's what's going on with the Olympics. It's like there's
gonna be a thousand of those little things along the way.
This soccer, the soccer way that played out was bizarre.
Raised back in the locker room, come back out, play
the last three minutes of stoppage time. So it always happens.
(16:54):
That's just part of three hundred and thirty nine different events.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Over time.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
I'm sure there will be bigger Controverty's that we talk
about over the next two and a half weeks, for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Because you can try to prepare and you know, as
we found out, you kind of prepare what you think
can happen. You know, team USA does well in these events.
This could be somebody who surprises, but you know you're
not going to have you know, Kazakhstans starting lineup for handball,
you know memorized, but explain, explain to the audience though,
(17:27):
How you prepare to host the Olympics.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Well, you did this for so many years, and you
know that the backbone of the Olympics and the success
of the Olympics is the Olympic Research Team, and they
have incredible information on every sport. You're right, ten thousand
plus athletes. There's no way we're going to know most
of them. But you want to become familiar with the
big ones, familiar with what the big storylines will be.
(17:52):
And then I found this is my fifth now and
the fourth doing prime time. The best way to do
it is know where to access the information each time.
I'm not going to be ready for an event fifteen
days from now. I have an idea of what's coming
down the road, but on a every couple of day basis,
you kind of bite it off in chunks and you
get involved in what's going on at the moment. So
(18:15):
for now, it's the opening ceremony. When that gets done,
already turned our attention to Saturday and what's gonna be
happened during the daytime and in primetime and just kind
of keep that cycle going. It's a lot like Groundhog Day.
It's the same deal over and over for two and
a half weeks. You get up at the same time,
you work out at the same time, you eat the
same thing at the same time.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But it's fun if.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
You feel like everybody's doing the marathon with you, and
that's the cool part of it for I think all
of us.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And like four years ago, you don't prepare for simone Vials,
you know, deciding she's not going to compete or she
can't compete. You're waiting for the coronation of simone Vials,
and I think that like Katie Ledecki, you're expecting, you know,
her to be decorated, honored, nomah lyles like you just
I don't know, right.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
And you have to be ready for the well, if
not them, then who There's going to be a great
race on Saturday in the women's four hundred with Katie
Ldeki Summer McIntosh is a star from Canada who's a
swimmer that will probably win multiple medals at these Games,
and Arian Tipmus from Australia, and there's a big Australia
(19:22):
USA swimming rivalry that jumps right in the pool on
that first night. So you're prepared for that knowing that
the story is Katie and she could make history four hundred,
eight hundred and fifteen hundred relays wherever she's involved because
of her medal count. But I think we learned that
and saw that firsthand with Simone Biles that you pointed
out last year. You never know when an athlete, big name,
(19:44):
big stage, big moment, and it doesn't happen for them.
So one it's why and two of two else because
Sony Lee had her Olympic moment. She won the all
around for the women and is an Olympic champion for life.
That was what happened when Simone didn't win. And now
Suey lees back, so she's going for a second consecutive
Olympic gold medal.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So they hey, that's why we do this, right.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
We we love that we don't know at the end
the couple's gonna live happily ever after, or they're going
to catch the bad guy.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We don't know.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
And to have that in a bunch of sports that
we don't see on a day to day basis and
talk about, like swimming and track and field and gymnastics,
it just brings the country together because it's all done
under the umbrella of Team USA.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'm talking to Mike Rico, he's joining his live from
Paris and there that is the Eiffel Tower over his shoulder.
Would you get in the Sane River?
Speaker 8 (20:36):
No, but I wouldn't get in many rivers, so that
that's that's not that's not my strength. I I think
the sand story is an interesting one and the mayor
has jumped in and it's part of seven.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
The mayor literally jumped in.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
She did, and Hidalgo, the mayor went in last week.
We've seen her this week on TV, so we know
she survived. Oh look, it's you kind of chuckle at it,
and we all have along the way here. But it's
it's a real concern for the athletes, and you know,
competing over the years, you don't want your mind to
be clouded with something could go wrong if I do this.
(21:14):
You need to be clear minded and focused. And I
think the concerns of the events, the five that they
try to do in the send the three triathlons, the
swim portion of those men's women's, and there's a mixed
team triathlon men and women, and then the two open
water swims. Those athletes, they're gonna have a tough mental
battle if this happens. As of now it's supposed to happen.
(21:36):
What has happened in a positive for them is not
too much rain because the rain makes the water and
the sin more polluted, so as of now they're going
in that direction. There is a plan B. I think
we'll know over the next couple of days what's gonna
play out. The most confusing sport is what to you
some of the judge sports. You know, I've watched breaking
(22:00):
Great Dancing is now in the Olympics, and I've watched it,
but just because we're not familiar with it, I think
it's gonna be a little confusing and how they score it.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
There's one that I've never.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
Really been able to get my arms fully around, rugby.
I was just watching the US they're playing a live
match right now. Why they played two yesterday. I've never
been able to get my arms fully around point total
scoring when the scrum starts and stops all of that.
There's one sport that we don't see enough of that
I love that I really think the US should be
(22:30):
better at, and we don't have a team in the Olympics.
That's team handball. Do you ever watch team handball? I
love that, don't you think? And you love your college hoops?
We could get five really good college troop players who
didn't get to the NBA, and they can work together
and travel in Europe, and we could come up with
a great team handball team in America. I feel like
guys pivot a couple of steps and throw it.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, I think we could be good.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
We get some three and D guys you know on
the perimeter, you know, some length there.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
From the outside, take contact and finish good and one guy.
So why don't you, why don't you take over the
team handball leadership for our country before LA twenty eight
become the general manager.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Let's go, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I have a couple of things that I have to
work on.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
One is getting Brent Musburger into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I got to start there.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That's right there with you, ten percent behind you on that.
That's an excuse me.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, So that's the Pete Roselle Ward.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
By the way, what's the vibe around US men's basketball.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
That the rest of the world is good?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
And we know that and they know that because they
play against a lot of these guys all the time,
whether it's Wemby or Gobert, Jokic SGA.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
They know the guys who are on these other teams
are good.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
And the depth of those teams used to be Daniel's
one or two NBA guys on a team you'd recognize
now you recognize the depth of the roster, and because
it's FEEB, but it's five fouls officiated a.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Little bit differently.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
The game has some nuances that some of the players
who grew up playing it might be better at it
than the NBA guys. So I think while you have
a little bit of a wouldn't this be great for
Lebron and KD and Steph playing in his first Olympics
all together to win a gold medal for Team USA.
I think they know it's not a guarantee. If they didn't,
the game against South Sudan last week in London was
(24:26):
a quick reminder, Hey, we better bring it here from
the start or else.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Congrats on NBC and Pecank getting the NBA if you
haven't heard, if the news hadn't gotten over to you
there in parents, So I guess are you doing play
by play for the NBA for NBC coming up in
a couple of seasons.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I read that.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
I am so that was news to be over here,
which was just good. I'm sure I'll be involved. I
hope to be involved doing games. I love doing them
with the great great hum be bl out for ten
years at ESPN and did games for fourteen years while
I was there when we had the package. I love
the NBA and love what it was about, so certainly
(25:09):
look forward to figuring out my schedule, how it works out,
what they want me to do. But I think for
all of us heading into an Olympics here, which is
as you know because you've been a part of this,
every four years, every part of the company comes together
and enjoys this stage of showcasing the best and the
brightest in the world in sports. For all of us
to get that news over here as we're getting ready
(25:31):
for that, it was a pretty good booster. A lot
of smiles around here as we endeavor for the next
seventeen days to bring the Olympics back to everybody in
the States.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
You don't have to do every job, Mike.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
I don't want to. I want to get better at golf.
My short game stinks right now. I am so annoyed.
I want more time and more golf. So we'll figure
it out along the way. But it'll be cool to
get back to hoops as well.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Great to talk to you. We'll be watching. We'll check
in with you and have fun.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I will Thanks Pal. All the best to see.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
So can you give me some French?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Or you are?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
You are fluent, Mike, you are fluent.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
If I if I was hosting, then I would probably uh,
you know be I took four years in high school,
so obviously.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Are you a good student? No? You were not.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
No, No, you're a jock. But I didn't want to
be a good student like I. It was a choice
that I made, Mike. I didn't want to be a
good student. I aspired to be class clown and that's
exactly what I won my senior year.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
But you're a good writer. I remember.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
The fun thing I will get out of here. The
fun thing of our Sports Center days was that we
all wrote our own stuff. And it was great because
you get challenged from Olberman to you, to Bob Lee
to charge everybody like, Okay, he wrote the hell out
of that. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna write a
heck of a lead here, and we would work hard
on that.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
It was.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
It was the absolute best. And you were a great
I remember just listening to your stuff like Dan, Dan's
a good right just gets it. So anyway, thank you're
a good writer. Put that way thank you, Thank you, Mike.
It's Mike Karika. He's going to be hosting. He's mister Olympics,
he's mister prime time. Opening ceremony, not ceremonies. NBC's really
big on this. So it's the Stanley Cup Final, not finals.
(27:33):
It's the opening ceremony, not ceremonies. You can watch it,
Uh well, noon Eastern tomorrow, Opening ceremony noon Eastern on
NBC and Peacock. And uh they I think what the
IOC wanted to do is they would wait for the
opening ceremony until our show was over at noon Eastern
and then they would do the opening ceremony.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm kind of opening for the opening ceremony. I think
we're warming up for the opening ceremony. But you can
watch on NBC and Peacock. What's the poll question today, Seaton,
at least for the first hour.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Well, I know the thing I've been thinking about most
since yesterday was bigger NBA news that happened yesterday? Okay,
NBA on TNT, Yeah, yeah, or NBC bringing back round Ball.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Rock tot you can do it right. NBC owned the rights.
I mean this is John Chesh obviously, yes, when John's
(28:41):
in concert.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Does he play this? Yes he does, he does, Yes,
he does.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You can pay money for him and he'll stand up
there and do theme songs like this.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It's the encore.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh he is say the hammer for the end?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Okay, he actually he has a concert that I've a
video that I've watched more times than I care to admit,
but I find it's so fascinating. But John Tesh at
Red Rocks. He's got like a twenty piece orchestra behind
him and he's up there with a keyboard and he
plays that. He tells the story of how he He's
like I called my answering Machine because I was inspired,
(29:15):
and this is the answering machine, the message that I
left myself, and it's him going and then.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
They start playing the song. There's like professional musicians with
violins going. It's amazing. It's the most amazing video.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But I know there's countless musicians who probably do that
into their phone. It's definitely you know, like, hey, something
just came to me. It's two in the morning. Uh, okay,
let me record this. Definitely, yeah, because there's so much
that you know, there's a chord there, there's a chorus,
there's there's a.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Title to a song there.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I mean, I send song titles to Darius Rucker way
too often, too often, but I always say, hey, here's
the song title, Now write the song, and he goes,
can you do it the other way around? You know,
it's really really hard to write a song, and I'll go,
I know, but I can write a good title to
(30:14):
a song.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yes, Tom.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
I'm wondering if there's gonna be any issues because Fox,
if I recall, correctly, stole that or whatever word you
want to use for their college basketball. They've I've heard
them like use that theme for Fox College Basketball. So
what goes?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
What happens now?
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I don't think you can steal it. I don't think
it works.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
I have to pay a certain fee whatever it is.
But Fox College Basketball is definitely using that exact music.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I would think you have to pay a fee.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I don't think it's one of those a nobody's looking,
let's steal round Ball's sneak it ine over here, yes, Paul.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
The song Roundball Rock has not been used for an
NBA game since NBC lost the Olympic the NBA rights
In two thousand and two. Fox Sports acquired the rights
for one season for college basketball for twenty eighteen and
twenty nineteen. John Tesh, the original composer, still owns the
complete rights to round Ball Rock instead. Yep, if NBC
(31:02):
gets it, the writes the NBA back, he would be
interested in talking to him about using it again, but
they got to pay him again. Of course he owns.
He rents it out. He does not sell it.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
No, Well, nobody sells it unless you sell your catalog.
I don't think John's going to have a catalog that
he's going to sell, but that sure man dining out
on that.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
What about that cost though?
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
During the nineteen ninety to two thousand and two era
of the NBA and NBC, the ringer reported that the
song round Ball Rock was played twelve thousand times.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah, but what did they pay for it? That's what
I want to know?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Checking, Yeah, because I do you pay a lump sum
and say you can use it as often as you
like or each time you play that song, it's going
to call it, you know, like radio play?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Uh for a song?
Speaker 10 (31:52):
Yes, Paul John Tesh, Jesus guy's rich. He declined to
say exactly how much he's paid or was paid to
use round ball rock, but instead of a lump sum,
he took per usage fee. So the twelve thousand times
it was played, he was paid whatever each time.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Do we have to pay him because Todd just no,
because there's.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
Fair use of news, like I think, because there's like
a we should be able to play it once to
report the story that it's in play. Okay, but we
can't just play it and play and play it.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
But we're not playing it, you know, the the entirety
of it. We're just doing you know, just a sample
of it, right, and it was done in relation to news,
a news event. We're covering this story.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Ye, yes, time.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
And he's married to Connie Selica. So the hits just
keep on coming for John Tash, he's doing well.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Connie Selica for those most of the audience who may
not be aware of her time.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
Beautiful actress over the years, well not really in anything
right now. What show was she I don't recall what
it was. It wasn't like nats Land. He was like
one of those type of shows. But she was a
dark haired, blue eyes and prominence. But several years back.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
So you're watching her, you didn't even care about the show.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
She was on. You were just watching.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I can tell you what the show is. Dynasty, Dallas,
not's landing one of those days.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Okay, those are a big deal though, huh back then
they were.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
But don't be afraid to give some context.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
Yeah, that would help. Yeah, beautiful actress, more poppylar in
the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well, now everything that you talk about is in the eighties. Facts, Yes, true,
Thank you, Tom. All right, Our Play of the Day

(34:53):
Ten Media Day. If you didn't know Deshaun Foster was
the head coach at UCLA, you probably do now. He
took over for Chip Kelly, who left to become the
offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Deshaun Foster a very
good running back at u c LA, and this is
how he opened up his press conference.
Speaker 11 (35:15):
I'm happy to be here, glad to be a part
of this great conference, finally putting two great em lumps together,
UCLA and the Big Ten. Where a school that's won
what one hundred and twenty three championships, So this fits
us being right in this conference.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Football wise, which is excited.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You know.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
I'm sure you guys don't know too much about UCLA.
But our football program. But we're in LA, this is
us in USC We I'm just basically excited. Really, that's it.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Man questions, Okay, I think he thought he was going
to get laughter when he said that we're in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
Where there are people in fact there, I don't know.
It sounds like he's in an empty room. It might
have been a rehearsal. Did somebody videotape, but.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
He I think he thought he was going to get
a reaction, you know, And Todd knows this feeling where
you think you said something funny and that nobody reacted, right, Todd,
you know I do.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Know it all too well.
Speaker 9 (36:42):
Yeah, coach, I got a question.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I don't know who prepped him? But that's where you say,
and Deshaun Foster's a former running back. I don't know
if he's ever done this before. I don't know if
he's ever got in front of a large group there.
You know, it's a big movie. You're going to the
Big ten. You know, a whole new group of media
members there, it's on TV. You're going out there. How
(37:08):
many times have you done this? But that's where you
say to him, DeShawn, keep it simple, keep it simple.
Just go out there, introduce yourself. Just say I'm a
former running back. I rushed for X number of yards
there prior to this job. I did this, and I'm
replacing Chip Kelly, who's now at Ohio State. Any questions,
(37:32):
that's it. Do what you're comfortable doing talking about you
as opposed to yeah, I got a great one liner here.
We're located in Los Angeles. And then I think he waited,
and then that's when he went with USC and then
all of a sudden it was going off the rails,
(37:52):
because that's when you start to go, yeah, it's a
tough audience. Well, you think the audience is to wait
till you get in a game with Michigan or Hioway
staves yes time, Hey.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Coach Todd Ford associated press. So the LA part of
UCLA refers to Los Angeles. Would you have asked what's
the UC stand for?
Speaker 11 (38:15):
I think that.
Speaker 9 (38:15):
Begged for a moment of something to lighten the mood
while everyone was all quite and uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I think that might have been helpful.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
So you see in LA, that's Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
The LA part, Oh, you would have bailed out to
Sean Foster, it's like making.
Speaker 9 (38:27):
Fun of the moment slash just kind of let's make
this humorous and not as awkward and horrible as it
is at this moment right now.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
So when you told a joke at Carolines in New
York City and McLevin accidentally tucked the table cloth into
his pants, he helped you out.
Speaker 9 (38:43):
Yes, that was actually we caught a choreographed that. That
wasn't such a spontaneous.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Thing, because that was funnier than anything.
Speaker 9 (38:49):
I wish I could argue that that was by far
more funny than anything I was saying on stage.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I've never heard ice melt okay, but I did that
night when I was there and it was mcleven ginger
Ale or seven up.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
He had ice, and I can actually hear it.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Go, I could hear it.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
Wait, you're saying it's a two drink minimum. You guys
got to order one more drink before the night's.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Oh no, she didn't have to worry about that. We
had to drink more. Oh it's only a two drink minimum.
I'll take two drinks and then two more drinks. Maybe
I can get through this, right. Yeah, So that and
you know, fishes start.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
The best part of that was like looking around at
the audience and seeing like young couples on a date
and like occasionally like say like the girl's face had
just be scrunched up, and you see she's.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Like what is he doing?
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Tak of all the relationships that could have mounted to
something special and then just ended right there, because in there.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
We'll never know, Well, Caroline's closed down soon.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That tells you.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
That tells you the whole story right there.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
When you bring the house down. I mean you do
bring the house great. You always have the one line.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
It's funny that Todd's catching strays on that somehow. Yes,
because you tell a joke and I've don't I've done
this before. If you know there's a corporate outing, somebody
hires you go in there and you tell a story
and you go, man, this killed the last time I
told this story. And then you tell the story and
then you're like, I I'm waiting for the laughter, and
then I'm going to come back with, you know, another story.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
All of a sudden you get crickets and then you go,
now I have to say a.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Bunch of curse word. Yes, I have no material at
all after this.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yes, Todd would go blue every time a joke fell flat,
then the next joke, would you know he'd have an
F bomb or two?
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah right, nobody, anybody would me.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
No, no, Unfortunately, we were with you. We were trying
to disassociate with sre Patrick show. Guys back, we're ducking down.
We don't want anybody to know that we're there, all right,
Seeton poll question for hour one is going to be what,
oh my gosh, well, I don't want.
Speaker 5 (40:53):
To do something off coach Foster. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
all right, well we just put up there is it?
Bigger news the NBA on TNT or NBC bringing back
round Ball Rock, right a round Ball Rock is crushing.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Of course. People are very excited to have that back.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
I did see that.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
NBC said they're bringing back the theme song. Yes, it's
very exciting. Yes, and why wouldn't you.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Very catchy?
Speaker 12 (41:20):
What is it Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Oh,
it's gonna be so good. Take on the in the
Denver Nuggets next on NBC. Yeah, Tarrico, you did it again.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Yeah, yeah, it would be the play by play. But
I don't know who's gonna be studio for NBC.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
I don't know if they well, hello, Hello, that's awkward.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You're just not gonna tell how much you're gonna get paid.
Speaker 9 (41:50):
You have to accept the job for
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Oh okay, just like the price is right, okay exactly
Christopher mad Dog Russo in hour two Dan in the
Day nance
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Made it to a Thursday, It's our one. We'll talk
to the host of the Olympics. Mike Turko will stop
buy in about twenty minutes. He'll join us live from Paris.
Chris mad Dog Russo will join us coming up a
little bit later on as well. A lot of topics
to dive into. Operator Tyler is sitting by taking your
phone calls. We'll have a pull question Play of the Day.
(00:25):
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick
Show eight seven to seven to three DP show. Good
morning to those watching on Peacock, Thank you for allowing
us into your homes. Those listening on radio, Fox Sports Radio,
iHeartRadio as well ESPN Radio in some markets and over
(00:45):
four hundred cities carrying this program.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
All right, in no particular order.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The Olympics have already started, and some drama in soccer yesterday.
And I'm curious when a sporting event is officially over,
because they they brought everybody back Argentina and Morocco two
hours later because they were looking at a review and
then they realized maybe something shouldn't have counted, and then
(01:10):
come on back onto the pitch. And it's always one
of those gray areas where they go how much stoppage time?
How much an extra time? I don't know, sixteen minutes,
sixteen minutes? Yeah, okay, I don't know if anybody keeps
track of the person who keeps track of stoppage time.
It seems like an inexact science, like you know when
official will mark a football and you'll go, wow, how
(01:31):
did you come up with that? But it's an inexact
science that we sort of go okay, kind of like
a strike zone, like that didn't look like a strike.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yea, it was to me, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But the Olympics have already got some If you didn't
know the Olympics had started, you probably knew do now
because there was an incident yesterday, but it was Morocco
with a big win over Argentina and var that was
brought to everybody's tension yesterday. But when you think about him,
we've had sporting events. How about golf where somebody finishes
(02:05):
their round, then all of a sudden somebody will try
to call in and talk to I don't know, some
PGA official and say, I think Jimmy Lipper lifted a
rock and he wasn't allowed to lift a rock, or
they moved.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Some sand in the bunker.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That stuff's happened, and then you have to adjust the
scorecard accordingly, or somebody signs their scorecard and it's inaccurate,
and then they get penalized or decueued. From that, you
go back to the seventy two Olympics with the US
basketball team in the Soviet Union. Now they didn't leave
the floor, but the United States won the gold medal twice,
(02:44):
and then they said no, upon further review, we're going
to replay the final seconds again. They had a full
length pass, full court pass, scored the layup, and then
Russia wins the gold medal.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Football, it's happened before. Where you go off.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Field and they're like, no, come on back on the field,
Like when is it official when it's zero zero zero?
When you leave the field, Like at what point you say, okay,
now it's now it's official, Like it seems like you know,
we don't have an official official. Okay, this match is over,
this game is over. Nope, come on back out. And
(03:23):
that's what happened yesterday. In soccer. Two hours later, no
fans are there, players got to wait around.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Seems like they would have gotten it right, maybe a
little quicker than two hours, Seaton, how would you explain
this yesterday? I love though that you wait for two
hours just for the dude to do like the box
var signment.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
No goal.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
And there were no fans, like you're waiting for that
reaction of bomb. That's var is like one of those
things that everyone hates but you love.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Right.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It's called the VARs, the video assisted referee, and so
they can it's like instant replay. There's a guy somebody there,
a person who's watching and they're like they can see
a foul and be like, oh, I think we might
have had a foul there, and then they'll go back
and look, or they can aid the call that was
already made. And the problem is is that like the
spirit of offside, you know you're supposed to be behind
(04:22):
that defender, but you wouldn't notice that a toe or
a kneecap was off. And now with that video and
the line that they draw, you could say, ooh they're
about a centimeter off. Sorry, no goal, or you know
your toes are sticking out.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Or okay, but why did it take two hours?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Uh see, that's the problem I have.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
If you use this once again, we don't call it
instant replay. There's a lot of wasted time.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
There was a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No what if Argentina says we're not coming back. What
if they're in street clothes, they've showered up.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And they're they're leaving showering, there will be no showing.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This first hour brought to you by ti rac dot com,
the official tire expert of the program. Go to tire
rack dot com slash Dan try the tire decision guy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I used tire rack yesterday. I went there.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm looking for some sporty tires for my one of
my cars. Yeah, and I actually went to look at
the Michelin tires that they have there. Tire rack dot
com is the way tire buying should be, all right,
So I have a poll question. Got a play of
the day coming up as well, and a few other
items in once again no particular order. It looks like
(05:33):
TNT is being shut out of the NBC, Amazon, ESPN,
NBA rights deal. And this is what's surprising. So now
it's official, So you know we look at TNT with
their basketball coverage, but we really look at just you know,
the pregame and postgame halftime with Ernie and Kenny and
(05:56):
Shaq and Charles, and this was you know, Kyle game
day type atmosphere. Nobody's been able to replicate this. Networks
have tried, but you can't because you can't replicate Shack
and Charles and certainly Ernie landing the planes there and
Kenny providing some sanity. But I'm if I'm the commissioner
(06:18):
of the NBA, Adam Silver, I don't want to lose
this show. But I also have to be responsible physically,
fiscally responsible because Charles is only going to do this,
I don't know, a couple more years, maybe at the most.
He said, if it leaves TNT, then he's not going
to do it after this next season. Charles is sixty
(06:41):
one years of age, he's doing well. Maybe he doesn't
want to continue to do this as often as he
has been anyway, So look, am I disappointed that we'll
lose this at TNT. Yes, But also I have to
look at this as a longer play. The commissioner's looking
at a ten year, eleven year deal. This isn't about TNT.
(07:04):
This is about global, This is about streaming, This about Amazon,
This about Peacock, NBC keeping ESPN in the game. This
isn't about TNT. They want to think about global coverage
of the NBA, not hey, TNT and TBS. So, yes,
(07:25):
you lose Shack, you lose Charles, You're gonna lose them
at some point anyway. Why not think, Okay, this is
going to hurt initially short term, long term, bigger picture
it makes more sense. I mean, Amazon is global, TNT
is not. Charles is wonderful, so is Shack. They're thinking
(07:47):
bigger picture of how can I get more people in
more places to see our product. They've already gone global
when you think about what they did before anybody else.
David Stern the ninety to dream team that allowed them
to go global. Now, all of a sudden, you had
China interested, and you had Russia interested in the NBA.
(08:10):
Players coming to play in the NBA couldn't wait to
play against you in the Olympics, even though you were
going to lose by fifty. David Stern had you know,
and this is the mentor to Adam Silver. He had
this global view of this is what the sports should be.
And as much as we hate losing TNT and TBS,
(08:31):
in a bigger picture, a longer play, it makes a
lot of sense. Plus it didn't help the TNT's boss
came out and said, we don't need the NBA. That's
not a good thing to say if you are desperately,
you know, trying to crawl your way back, scratch your
way back to say hey, wait, wait, wait, hold on,
we want to match the deal that Amazon put forward.
(08:54):
They moved, they moved forward, and they moved on without them.
So you get one more year of Shaq and Charles
and then that's it.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We did wonder about could you do this where they
created their own show, And I've talked to Charles about
this where let's say you do a wrap up show,
a wrap up show after this year where people after
the NBA, all the games are over, then they're going
to have their own that they'll farm out.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Whoever wants this show.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You can go get it wherever you're going to put it, whatever,
you know, streaming service, wherever you put it, you know,
maybe leave it on TNT, but you know, then you
can let people consume that if they want to Can
you do a pre in a halftime, in a post.
I don't think you can. Plus, you're not going to
(09:45):
have the video rights to be able to show those
highlights if you're not a carrier a partner of the NBA.
But I'm wondering how they salvage this with Charles, And look,
I'm trying to be sensitive to Charles. My job is
to follow the story and get the newsmakers on. And
I said to Fritzie, let's hold off on Charles. You know,
(10:08):
when he wants to talk, then we'll have him on
the show and we can talk about it. Because he
said a lot, probably too much, and you know, he said,
I don't want to talk about this anymore. All right,
Now we have a resolution. Now we have finality here,
and unfortunately this is it. This will be the last
year that we're you know, we're treated to TNT, and
you start to think about these shows. I mean, I
(10:30):
was fortunate to be on a show. Granted it was
Sports Center, but we created Sports Center in a different
way when I was there, with Keith Oberman and College
Game Day, they created something different TNT, you know, with
the Shaq and Shaq and Charles and everybody else there.
(10:50):
They created something, and everybody tries to do that. There's
always imitators. Mike and Tony pardon the interruption, they created
something that every buddy tried to imitate, and you can't
because you can't replicate Mike and Tony their relationship. You know,
there's only one Shack, there's only one Charles, you know,
(11:10):
college game day that they've had interchangeable parts, but the approach,
the atmosphere, you know Fox, you know they're big newon Kickoff.
They've tried to replicate this. It's difficult to do because
they've got a head start. Somebody's going to try to
replicate you know what we've seen with Shaq and Charles.
It just won't happen. There's not personalities like that. I
(11:34):
also saw where Around the Horn may come to an end.
I was shocked, but then once again, I don't know
the inner workings of what ESPN's up against and money
that they're spending and what's the return on your investment.
But Tony Reality has been hosting that for twenty years.
Max Kellerman started out. I think that was two thousand
(11:56):
and two, maybe two thousand and one, two thousand and
two and to me, it's a great show. You know,
it's thirty minutes, it moves quickly, a lot of topics,
a lot of different journalists around the country get an
opportunity to use that as a springboard and Tony reality.
As I've said before, I would have made him the
(12:18):
host of Jeopardy. I think that much of his talent.
And I don't know what he's going to do after this,
because that's all he's done is Around the Horn. I mean,
these shows come and go. You know, there's an expiration
date to this. Unfortunately we have that with TNT. Pardon
the interruption is going to end one day with Mike
and Tony, They'll still try to put two people in
(12:39):
there and you know, see if they can create that
magic around the Horns going away. Sports Center is not
what it once was. College Game Day is still there,
full speed ahead and will continue to do so. But
you know, that's the sad part sometimes, like we're treated
to great shows and then all of a sudden the
shows end. But it happens, you know, with netw TV,
(13:00):
with HBO or you know, Amazon, it comes to an end.
You hate to see it, but it does. And when
I saw that with Around the Horn. I expected TNT
to lose the NBA. I did not expect Around the
Horn to perhaps go away. So we'll take a break here.
Mike Turrico, he is going to join us from Paris
(13:23):
and set to call in get his thoughts on being
the host. So Mike's gonna do. He's hosting the Olympics.
He's got the NBA on NBC, so he'll be doing that.
He's also got Football Night in America on Sunday night.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
He's a busy guy, busy guy. He's kind of the
Ryan Seacrest of sports announcment. Yeah, sure, it feels like
there's a job opening. Hey, how about Mike Tarrico.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We'll take a break just getting started here on this Thursday,
back after this Dan Patrick show.
Speaker 1 (13:57):

to get.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called Over Promised you see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show pod
cast of all time.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with
Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Age seven to seven to three.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle at
DP show. Come up with our poll question, got our
play of the day coming up as well. Mike Tarico,
NBC Olympics primetime host Sunday Night Football. He's got the
NBA coming up as well on NBC Live coverage of
the opening ceremony, not ceremonies. That'll be tomorrow at noon
(15:36):
Eastern and on NBC and watch it primetime at seven
thirty Eastern on NBC and Peacock.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Uh, bonjour, come move.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
That too, bon sure? Dan?
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Yeah, you you have done this. You know it is
opening ceremony, not ceremonies. That's how you can tell somebody's
been a part of the varsity team.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay, now, is the Eiffel Tower actually behind you?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Hang on, let me take it off my desk. It's real.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
That's that's the real thing, in honor of one of
our favorites, Brett Musburger.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
You are looking lot.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I like that tower. I like that it is our
seven point road dog though.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It's a real deal. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
The Olympics already started, which is kind of strange to have,
you know, some matches here before the opening ceremony. And
we've got controversy, Mike, with what happened in soccer yesterday.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Something always happens, buses first event, something that doesn't go right.
It's what's going on with the Olympics. It's like there's
gonna be a thousand of those little things along the way.
This soccer, the soccer way that played out was bizarre.
Raised back in the locker room, come back out, play
the last three minutes of stoppage time. So it always happens.
(16:54):
That's just part of three hundred and thirty nine different events.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Over time.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
I'm sure there will be bigger Controverty's that we talk
about over the next two and a half weeks, for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Because you can try to prepare and you know, as
we found out, you kind of prepare what you think
can happen. You know, team USA does well in these events.
This could be somebody who surprises, but you know you're
not going to have you know, Kazakhstans starting lineup for handball,
you know memorized, but explain, explain to the audience though,
(17:27):
How you prepare to host the Olympics.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Well, you did this for so many years, and you
know that the backbone of the Olympics and the success
of the Olympics is the Olympic Research Team, and they
have incredible information on every sport. You're right, ten thousand
plus athletes. There's no way we're going to know most
of them. But you want to become familiar with the
big ones, familiar with what the big storylines will be.
(17:52):
And then I found this is my fifth now and
the fourth doing prime time. The best way to do
it is know where to access the information each time.
I'm not going to be ready for an event fifteen
days from now. I have an idea of what's coming
down the road, but on a every couple of day basis,
you kind of bite it off in chunks and you
get involved in what's going on at the moment. So
(18:15):
for now, it's the opening ceremony. When that gets done,
already turned our attention to Saturday and what's gonna be
happened during the daytime and in primetime and just kind
of keep that cycle going. It's a lot like Groundhog Day.
It's the same deal over and over for two and
a half weeks. You get up at the same time,
you work out at the same time, you eat the
same thing at the same time.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But it's fun if.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
You feel like everybody's doing the marathon with you, and
that's the cool part of it for I think all
of us.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And like four years ago, you don't prepare for simone Vials,
you know, deciding she's not going to compete or she
can't compete. You're waiting for the coronation of simone Vials,
and I think that like Katie Ledecki, you're expecting, you know,
her to be decorated, honored, nomah lyles like you just
I don't know, right.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
And you have to be ready for the well, if
not them, then who There's going to be a great
race on Saturday in the women's four hundred with Katie
Ldeki Summer McIntosh is a star from Canada who's a
swimmer that will probably win multiple medals at these Games,
and Arian Tipmus from Australia, and there's a big Australia
(19:22):
USA swimming rivalry that jumps right in the pool on
that first night. So you're prepared for that knowing that
the story is Katie and she could make history four hundred,
eight hundred and fifteen hundred relays wherever she's involved because
of her medal count. But I think we learned that
and saw that firsthand with Simone Biles that you pointed
out last year. You never know when an athlete, big name,
(19:44):
big stage, big moment, and it doesn't happen for them.
So one it's why and two of two else because
Sony Lee had her Olympic moment. She won the all
around for the women and is an Olympic champion for life.
That was what happened when Simone didn't win. And now
Suey lees back, so she's going for a second consecutive
Olympic gold medal.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So they hey, that's why we do this, right.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
We we love that we don't know at the end
the couple's gonna live happily ever after, or they're going
to catch the bad guy.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We don't know.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
And to have that in a bunch of sports that
we don't see on a day to day basis and
talk about, like swimming and track and field and gymnastics,
it just brings the country together because it's all done
under the umbrella of Team USA.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'm talking to Mike Rico, he's joining his live from
Paris and there that is the Eiffel Tower over his shoulder.
Would you get in the Sane River?
Speaker 8 (20:36):
No, but I wouldn't get in many rivers, so that
that's that's not that's not my strength. I I think
the sand story is an interesting one and the mayor
has jumped in and it's part of seven.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
The mayor literally jumped in.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
She did, and Hidalgo, the mayor went in last week.
We've seen her this week on TV, so we know
she survived. Oh look, it's you kind of chuckle at it,
and we all have along the way here. But it's
it's a real concern for the athletes, and you know,
competing over the years, you don't want your mind to
be clouded with something could go wrong if I do this.
(21:14):
You need to be clear minded and focused. And I
think the concerns of the events, the five that they
try to do in the send the three triathlons, the
swim portion of those men's women's, and there's a mixed
team triathlon men and women, and then the two open
water swims. Those athletes, they're gonna have a tough mental
battle if this happens. As of now it's supposed to happen.
(21:36):
What has happened in a positive for them is not
too much rain because the rain makes the water and
the sin more polluted, so as of now they're going
in that direction. There is a plan B. I think
we'll know over the next couple of days what's gonna
play out. The most confusing sport is what to you
some of the judge sports. You know, I've watched breaking
(22:00):
Great Dancing is now in the Olympics, and I've watched it,
but just because we're not familiar with it, I think
it's gonna be a little confusing and how they score it.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
There's one that I've never.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
Really been able to get my arms fully around, rugby.
I was just watching the US they're playing a live
match right now. Why they played two yesterday. I've never
been able to get my arms fully around point total
scoring when the scrum starts and stops all of that.
There's one sport that we don't see enough of that
I love that I really think the US should be
(22:30):
better at, and we don't have a team in the Olympics.
That's team handball. Do you ever watch team handball? I
love that, don't you think? And you love your college hoops?
We could get five really good college troop players who
didn't get to the NBA, and they can work together
and travel in Europe, and we could come up with
a great team handball team in America. I feel like
guys pivot a couple of steps and throw it.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, I think we could be good.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
We get some three and D guys you know on
the perimeter, you know, some length there.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
From the outside, take contact and finish good and one guy.
So why don't you, why don't you take over the
team handball leadership for our country before LA twenty eight
become the general manager.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Let's go, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I have a couple of things that I have to
work on.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
One is getting Brent Musburger into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
I got to start there.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That's right there with you, ten percent behind you on that.
That's an excuse me.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, So that's the Pete Roselle Ward.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
By the way, what's the vibe around US men's basketball.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
That the rest of the world is good?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
And we know that and they know that because they
play against a lot of these guys all the time,
whether it's Wemby or Gobert, Jokic SGA.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
They know the guys who are on these other teams
are good.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
And the depth of those teams used to be Daniel's
one or two NBA guys on a team you'd recognize
now you recognize the depth of the roster, and because
it's FEEB, but it's five fouls officiated a.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Little bit differently.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
The game has some nuances that some of the players
who grew up playing it might be better at it
than the NBA guys. So I think while you have
a little bit of a wouldn't this be great for
Lebron and KD and Steph playing in his first Olympics
all together to win a gold medal for Team USA.
I think they know it's not a guarantee. If they didn't,
the game against South Sudan last week in London was
(24:26):
a quick reminder, Hey, we better bring it here from
the start or else.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Congrats on NBC and Pecank getting the NBA if you
haven't heard, if the news hadn't gotten over to you
there in parents, So I guess are you doing play
by play for the NBA for NBC coming up in
a couple of seasons.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I read that.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
I am so that was news to be over here,
which was just good. I'm sure I'll be involved. I
hope to be involved doing games. I love doing them
with the great great hum be bl out for ten
years at ESPN and did games for fourteen years while
I was there when we had the package. I love
the NBA and love what it was about, so certainly
(25:09):
look forward to figuring out my schedule, how it works out,
what they want me to do. But I think for
all of us heading into an Olympics here, which is
as you know because you've been a part of this,
every four years, every part of the company comes together
and enjoys this stage of showcasing the best and the
brightest in the world in sports. For all of us
to get that news over here as we're getting ready
(25:31):
for that, it was a pretty good booster. A lot
of smiles around here as we endeavor for the next
seventeen days to bring the Olympics back to everybody in
the States.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
You don't have to do every job, Mike.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
I don't want to. I want to get better at golf.
My short game stinks right now. I am so annoyed.
I want more time and more golf. So we'll figure
it out along the way. But it'll be cool to
get back to hoops as well.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Great to talk to you. We'll be watching. We'll check
in with you and have fun.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I will Thanks Pal. All the best to see.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
So can you give me some French?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Or you are?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
You are fluent, Mike, you are fluent.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
If I if I was hosting, then I would probably uh,
you know be I took four years in high school,
so obviously.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Are you a good student? No? You were not.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
No, No, you're a jock. But I didn't want to
be a good student like I. It was a choice
that I made, Mike. I didn't want to be a
good student. I aspired to be class clown and that's
exactly what I won my senior year.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
But you're a good writer. I remember.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
The fun thing I will get out of here. The
fun thing of our Sports Center days was that we
all wrote our own stuff. And it was great because
you get challenged from Olberman to you, to Bob Lee
to charge everybody like, Okay, he wrote the hell out
of that. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna write a
heck of a lead here, and we would work hard
on that.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
It was.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
It was the absolute best. And you were a great
I remember just listening to your stuff like Dan, Dan's
a good right just gets it. So anyway, thank you're
a good writer. Put that way thank you, Thank you, Mike.
It's Mike Karika. He's going to be hosting. He's mister Olympics,
he's mister prime time. Opening ceremony, not ceremonies. NBC's really
big on this. So it's the Stanley Cup Final, not finals.
(27:33):
It's the opening ceremony, not ceremonies. You can watch it,
Uh well, noon Eastern tomorrow, Opening ceremony noon Eastern on
NBC and Peacock. And uh they I think what the
IOC wanted to do is they would wait for the
opening ceremony until our show was over at noon Eastern
and then they would do the opening ceremony.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm kind of opening for the opening ceremony. I think
we're warming up for the opening ceremony. But you can
watch on NBC and Peacock. What's the poll question today, Seaton,
at least for the first hour.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Well, I know the thing I've been thinking about most
since yesterday was bigger NBA news that happened yesterday? Okay,
NBA on TNT, Yeah, yeah, or NBC bringing back round Ball.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Rock tot you can do it right. NBC owned the rights.
I mean this is John Chesh obviously, yes, when John's
(28:41):
in concert.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Does he play this? Yes he does, he does, Yes,
he does.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You can pay money for him and he'll stand up
there and do theme songs like this.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It's the encore.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Oh he is say the hammer for the end?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Okay, he actually he has a concert that I've a
video that I've watched more times than I care to admit,
but I find it's so fascinating. But John Tesh at
Red Rocks. He's got like a twenty piece orchestra behind
him and he's up there with a keyboard and he
plays that. He tells the story of how he He's
like I called my answering Machine because I was inspired,
(29:15):
and this is the answering machine, the message that I
left myself, and it's him going and then.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
They start playing the song. There's like professional musicians with
violins going. It's amazing. It's the most amazing video.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But I know there's countless musicians who probably do that
into their phone. It's definitely you know, like, hey, something
just came to me. It's two in the morning. Uh, okay,
let me record this. Definitely, yeah, because there's so much
that you know, there's a chord there, there's a chorus,
there's there's a.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Title to a song there.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I mean, I send song titles to Darius Rucker way
too often, too often, but I always say, hey, here's
the song title, Now write the song, and he goes,
can you do it the other way around? You know,
it's really really hard to write a song, and I'll go,
I know, but I can write a good title to
(30:14):
a song.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yes, Tom.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
I'm wondering if there's gonna be any issues because Fox,
if I recall, correctly, stole that or whatever word you
want to use for their college basketball. They've I've heard
them like use that theme for Fox College Basketball. So
what goes?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
What happens now?
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I don't think you can steal it. I don't think
it works.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
I have to pay a certain fee whatever it is.
But Fox College Basketball is definitely using that exact music.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I would think you have to pay a fee.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I don't think it's one of those a nobody's looking,
let's steal round Ball's sneak it ine over here, yes, Paul.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
The song Roundball Rock has not been used for an
NBA game since NBC lost the Olympic the NBA rights
In two thousand and two. Fox Sports acquired the rights
for one season for college basketball for twenty eighteen and
twenty nineteen. John Tesh, the original composer, still owns the
complete rights to round Ball Rock instead. Yep, if NBC
(31:02):
gets it, the writes the NBA back, he would be
interested in talking to him about using it again, but
they got to pay him again. Of course he owns.
He rents it out. He does not sell it.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
No, Well, nobody sells it unless you sell your catalog.
I don't think John's going to have a catalog that
he's going to sell, but that sure man dining out
on that.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
What about that cost though?
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
During the nineteen ninety to two thousand and two era
of the NBA and NBC, the ringer reported that the
song round Ball Rock was played twelve thousand times.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah, but what did they pay for it? That's what
I want to know?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Checking, Yeah, because I do you pay a lump sum
and say you can use it as often as you
like or each time you play that song, it's going
to call it, you know, like radio play?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Uh for a song?
Speaker 10 (31:52):
Yes, Paul John Tesh, Jesus guy's rich. He declined to
say exactly how much he's paid or was paid to
use round ball rock, but instead of a lump sum,
he took per usage fee. So the twelve thousand times
it was played, he was paid whatever each time.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Do we have to pay him because Todd just no,
because there's.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
Fair use of news, like I think, because there's like
a we should be able to play it once to
report the story that it's in play. Okay, but we
can't just play it and play and play it.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
But we're not playing it, you know, the the entirety
of it. We're just doing you know, just a sample
of it, right, and it was done in relation to news,
a news event. We're covering this story.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Ye, yes, time.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
And he's married to Connie Selica. So the hits just
keep on coming for John Tash, he's doing well.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Connie Selica for those most of the audience who may
not be aware of her time.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
Beautiful actress over the years, well not really in anything
right now. What show was she I don't recall what
it was. It wasn't like nats Land. He was like
one of those type of shows. But she was a
dark haired, blue eyes and prominence. But several years back.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
So you're watching her, you didn't even care about the show.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
She was on. You were just watching.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I can tell you what the show is. Dynasty, Dallas,
not's landing one of those days.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Okay, those are a big deal though, huh back then
they were.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
But don't be afraid to give some context.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
Yeah, that would help. Yeah, beautiful actress, more poppylar in
the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well, now everything that you talk about is in the eighties. Facts, Yes, true,

Ten Media Day. If you didn't know Deshaun Foster was
the head coach at UCLA, you probably do now. He
took over for Chip Kelly, who left to become the
offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Deshaun Foster a very
good running back at u c LA, and this is
how he opened up his press conference.
Speaker 11 (35:15):
I'm happy to be here, glad to be a part
of this great conference, finally putting two great em lumps together,
UCLA and the Big Ten. Where a school that's won
what one hundred and twenty three championships, So this fits
us being right in this conference.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Football wise, which is excited.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You know.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
I'm sure you guys don't know too much about UCLA.
But our football program. But we're in LA, this is
us in USC We I'm just basically excited. Really, that's it.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Man questions, Okay, I think he thought he was going
to get laughter when he said that we're in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
Where there are people in fact there, I don't know.
It sounds like he's in an empty room. It might
have been a rehearsal. Did somebody videotape, but.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
He I think he thought he was going to get
a reaction, you know, And Todd knows this feeling where
you think you said something funny and that nobody reacted, right, Todd,
you know I do.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Know it all too well.
Speaker 9 (36:42):
Yeah, coach, I got a question.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I don't know who prepped him? But that's where you say,
and Deshaun Foster's a former running back. I don't know
if he's ever done this before. I don't know if
he's ever got in front of a large group there.
You know, it's a big movie. You're going to the
Big ten. You know, a whole new group of media
members there, it's on TV. You're going out there. How
(37:08):
many times have you done this? But that's where you
say to him, DeShawn, keep it simple, keep it simple.
Just go out there, introduce yourself. Just say I'm a
former running back. I rushed for X number of yards
there prior to this job. I did this, and I'm
replacing Chip Kelly, who's now at Ohio State. Any questions,
(37:32):
that's it. Do what you're comfortable doing talking about you
as opposed to yeah, I got a great one liner here.
We're located in Los Angeles. And then I think he waited,
and then that's when he went with USC and then
all of a sudden it was going off the rails,
(37:52):
because that's when you start to go, yeah, it's a
tough audience. Well, you think the audience is to wait
till you get in a game with Michigan or Hioway
staves yes time, Hey.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Coach Todd Ford associated press. So the LA part of
UCLA refers to Los Angeles. Would you have asked what's
the UC stand for?
Speaker 11 (38:15):
I think that.
Speaker 9 (38:15):
Begged for a moment of something to lighten the mood
while everyone was all quite and uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I think that might have been helpful.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
So you see in LA, that's Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
The LA part, Oh, you would have bailed out to
Sean Foster, it's like making.
Speaker 9 (38:27):
Fun of the moment slash just kind of let's make
this humorous and not as awkward and horrible as it
is at this moment right now.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
So when you told a joke at Carolines in New
York City and McLevin accidentally tucked the table cloth into
his pants, he helped you out.
Speaker 9 (38:43):
Yes, that was actually we caught a choreographed that. That
wasn't such a spontaneous.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Thing, because that was funnier than anything.
Speaker 9 (38:49):
I wish I could argue that that was by far
more funny than anything I was saying on stage.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I've never heard ice melt okay, but I did that
night when I was there and it was mcleven ginger
Ale or seven up.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
He had ice, and I can actually hear it.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Go, I could hear it.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
Wait, you're saying it's a two drink minimum. You guys
got to order one more drink before the night's.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Oh no, she didn't have to worry about that. We
had to drink more. Oh it's only a two drink minimum.
I'll take two drinks and then two more drinks. Maybe
I can get through this, right. Yeah, So that and
you know, fishes start.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
The best part of that was like looking around at
the audience and seeing like young couples on a date
and like occasionally like say like the girl's face had
just be scrunched up, and you see she's.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Like what is he doing?
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Tak of all the relationships that could have mounted to
something special and then just ended right there, because in there.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
We'll never know, Well, Caroline's closed down soon.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That tells you.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
That tells you the whole story right there.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
When you bring the house down. I mean you do
bring the house great. You always have the one line.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
It's funny that Todd's catching strays on that somehow. Yes,
because you tell a joke and I've don't I've done
this before. If you know there's a corporate outing, somebody
hires you go in there and you tell a story
and you go, man, this killed the last time I
told this story. And then you tell the story and
then you're like, I I'm waiting for the laughter, and
then I'm going to come back with, you know, another story.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
All of a sudden you get crickets and then you go,
now I have to say a.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Bunch of curse word. Yes, I have no material at
all after this.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yes, Todd would go blue every time a joke fell flat,
then the next joke, would you know he'd have an
F bomb or two?
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah right, nobody, anybody would me.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
No, no, Unfortunately, we were with you. We were trying
to disassociate with sre Patrick show. Guys back, we're ducking down.
We don't want anybody to know that we're there, all right,
Seeton poll question for hour one is going to be what,
oh my gosh, well, I don't want.
Speaker 5 (40:53):
To do something off coach Foster. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
all right, well we just put up there is it?
Bigger news the NBA on TNT or NBC bringing back
round Ball Rock, right a round Ball Rock is crushing.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Of course. People are very excited to have that back.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
I did see that.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
NBC said they're bringing back the theme song. Yes, it's
very exciting. Yes, and why wouldn't you.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Very catchy?
Speaker 12 (41:20):
What is it Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Oh,
it's gonna be so good. Take on the in the
Denver Nuggets next on NBC. Yeah, Tarrico, you did it again.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Yeah, yeah, it would be the play by play. But
I don't know who's gonna be studio for NBC.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
I don't know if they well, hello, Hello, that's awkward.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You're just not gonna tell how much you're gonna get paid.
Speaker 9 (41:50):
You have to accept the job for
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Oh okay, just like the price is right, okay exactly
