Broadcast GOAT Joe Buck

He actually complimented me for right. All right, I'm out. I'm out. I can't take this anymore. Well, anyways, Davo, what I was gonna say to you is that I can't help that I have pride for my teams and you don't. Well listen, I'm getting to the pride part.

Can can Can I talk for a second here? Well, the pride part is I respected the fact that you loved, you know, the championship so much, and I went back and I was like, man, you had me Itchen, And I was like, I gotta go watch the Mavericks two thousand eleven when that NBA title, you know, that un amazing and Dirk I mean, what can you say? What can you say? I mean, it was incredible, But this is my question that I wanted to come here today and talk to you about kind of was like, what

does it separate you? Doesn't not separate you to win the title if you have like a fifteen years still career where you're on top, Like, is Dirk better than Charles Barkley? Is better than Karl Malone because they didn't get a championship, but Karl Malone is arguably one of the best. I don't know, what do you think, Dive. I mean, I gave out a lot of thought as as you know Last Dance, the documentary on Michael Jordan's

Chicago Bulls Run that everyone's talking about right now. You know, you think about that, You think about all the great players that have played sports, and you know, some of those guys like Charles Barkley obviously a former Philadelphia seventy six or uh never was able to say that he won a championship or got the chip. And I think what it comes down to, and you see that in the documentary, is that there's there's a lot to it. It's not just about the players, it's about the organization,

and it's about the management, it's about the coaching. When did you get so philosophical? Can you answer my question very passionate about But I don't care about your passion right now. I care about my question. There is a reason that you can't. It's so hard to say, I mean, accomplished, accomplished, It's not that hard to say. Watch this, Dirk Nowitzki or Charles Barkley. You're a Mavericks fan. You can't even pronounce your guys last Newitsky or Charles Barkley answer the question, Dirk,

thank you? Okay. Wasn't that hard, was it? Dirk Newitzky or Karl Malone? Dirk? Oh, well, okay, So then maybe you know what, let me go over to the acting side, because what I'm hearing right now is it does matter for you. Because he got that chip, he was able to lead his team. What about what about somebody like Leonardo DiCaprio before The Revenant? Right, he had not won an Oscar. So if I would have a completely different is it completely differently? What? You're completely different? And I'm

glad that you showed your moro on stature. The difference is that DiCaprio that was out of his hands. He played at the top of his game for years. That's a subjective award. Somebody else is voting on that. Some totally disagree, someone else is playing god on that. But can the moron just say for a second that Dirk Nvitski is not the only guy out there on the court.

Absolutely not his hands too. He needs Jason Terry to hit the shots, he needs Jason Kidd to be able to but them winning or not winning has nothing to do with someone voting for them. But he's still Dave. He still has to go on the court, per se. Right, Leo has to go on the court, and he has to perform at the top of his level, yes, right, and he has to perform at a higher level than the other actors that are getting on the court, which

he's done consistently almost his entire career. Okay, all right, you know what so I'm saying it's it's nobody votes on a championship. They they go and win a championship, they take a championship, votes on it. All right, Look, look, look, I think this is a good time to bring in our next guest. I'm angry, now, good I I like, I like when you get amped up, Devo, I like when you get Let's talk about our next pal. Yeah,

let's talk about our next pal. Okay, so our next guest has been on your TV for over twenty years. That's a long time, Dave Right, He's been on all our TVs twenty years years for a long time. Okay, this man, this man's name is I would say, synonymous with anything involving sports, without questions, without question. He also happens to be one of the coolest guys that I know and now a pal of the Hate Pal podcast. Please welcome Joe Buck, jb How are you doing, Joe Bock,

Thank you, thanks for having me. I uh, We're all just doing like a round robin tournament of podcasts. So I'm gonna ask you guys to be on mine and then I'll come back on yours. In the spinning Board act will actually take the world down into some sort of black hole. We're there. We're there and super excited to have you. Were both obviously huge fans, and Jared's lucky enough to call you a pal of his. I

am looking at you. Do have a birthday coming up in a couple of days you're excited about your pandemic birthday, not at all. I know it's bad luck to skip a birthday, but I also know that with having two year old twin boys, we now are in the era of drive by birthday parties and trades and streamers and signs, and I don't think I want to invite any of my friends to do that. And then on top of that, I'm fifty one. I mean, the math is so against

me two year old being fifty one. I start doing the math and I'm like, uh, well, let's see when they are graduating from high school, I'll be a hundred and everybody will be asking him why, hey, why we're your parents? Why did your grandparents just show up? So, hey, that's life, That's that's what they got. You're gonna be good. J B. So so Joe. We were just talking about careers, Dave and I and and we're wondering who has had the better career Joe Buck the announcer, or Troy Ache

been the quarterback. I think anytime you win a Super Bowl that's like the mic drop stock and he won three? Uh can I can I make? Can I make the other side of the argument, though, yeah, is here's my thing. And and Dave and I we we go back and forth and talk about this a lot. Is that you, Mr j B have been on the Tube at the highest, you know, level of competition. We like to say that you can be be at for twenty plus years. I understand the Troy you know, won three Super Bowls and

it was incredible. I'm from Dallas and so I was the biggest you know, Troy Achmen fan growing up. But like, you have been number one for twenty plus years, and you can't say that a lot in any profession, what how or whatever sign I was born under. I am a tourist and I don't know about the other astrological stuff,

but my timing has been crazy. Like I came along the name of my book is Lucky Bastard because my dad, Ard was six kids met my mom may or may not have had some sort of extra marital activity, and then nine months later I was born. And then I came into the world. And as I was growing up, my dad's career was taking off with the St. Louis Cardinals,

and he wanted me with him everywhere he went. So I was in every National League city by the time I was twelve, I was around big league teams, I was around a broadcast and then I started after two years in the minor leagues where the Cardinals at one, and then Fox drops out of the sky and bid Bien gets into the NFL game, and I'm of the right age to be kind of the next generation of

young network announcers. Then get baseball. So it's just been like a series of well timed events in my life where I've done ten times more than I ever hoped I would do. Right, So, yeah, that is the other side of the argument. But I think winning a Super Bowl and being a part of a team that it's that good for that stretch of time in the nineties is probably cooler than anything the three of us will ever do. Well. It definitely, it definitely is is cool.

I don't disagree there, but with with with the you know, and I appreciate you know, you're giving us a little

background right there. But during that time, you know, um, whether it was you know, your your dad helping you out with the jobs or you just getting the jobs, are you being lucky however you want to define it, you still had to be damn good at your job and and I guess that's what we're saying is that you are damn good and you've been damn good for twenty years, and that's and that is a feat in itself,

that is that is Yeah. I mean, obviously what what Troy did was incredible, but I think you know, with all due respect your son, yourself short because you've just had an absolutely amazing run. Um. I think the title the book is incredible, and uh, you know, it definitely all adds up. I mean, it's it's it's pretty much had convincing to get that to be the title of

my book. I can't imagine. And it was a little awkward to go on shows and have the host go and uh here to talk about his new book, Lucky Faster. A little bit unnerving. Yeah, that said, you're right, Jared. I mean, I uh, I got started early, but I think the jury was ready to come back in a lot quicker because I was my dad's kids. I think you get a lot of breaks, but you also have

to do the work. If you can't do the park, they're gonna flush you, I think twice as fast as they would somebody that's coming in without a name exactly. So I have worked hard, and I've worked since I was nineteen. I haven't really ever taken any time off. I didn't go backpacking across Europe to go find myself. I myself when I was a little kid in my dad shadow and I just wanted to be him when I grew up. That's awesome. Yeah, I love it. Now.

With that being said, in terms of other announcers, we're gonna we like to ask different unique questions on our show. We like to hybrid questions over here, Jim, Now, if you had to pick five other announcers that are non former athletes, so not an athlete that became an announcer, just an announcer to compete in athletic competition, who would your five b okay currently on the air, either either current or former in an athletic competition, Like what are

we doing? Are we? It could be it could be five on five basketball, It could be an obstacle course, it could be anything. Okay, I will say, Jim Nance seems physically fit, I'll throw Nance on my team. I think Mike Arko if you could put him through like a paleo diet and and get him to uh to focus in on the athletic event. I would put him on my team. I would actually put myself on on my team. I can see that being one, but I'm

still the youngest guy doing what I'm doing. And then I would probably comb like the the NBA or the NHL for young play by play announcers who I don't even know at this point, and try to find the youngest, most fit guy with the best hairline because he's probably got a good genetics. And I would I would find two guys that are just starting on this business, and I would claim them as my own. So I'll be with myself to Vido dance and then two young guys whose names I I don't know. I love it and

I love that you're scouting. Now I know every announcer you meet moving forward. Now you're gonna think about this question, however, it's some big event, the guys that I need, I'm gonna be My answer is going no, I'm glad I

including the guys, including myself. UM, I find that as I get older, and now are these twin two year old boys getting down on the floor and playing blocks or playing dinosaurs or playing whatever the hell we're playing during any given moment, that's fine, But getting back up, I want them to actually turn their backs when they walk away as because I don't want them at the age of two to be embarrassed of their father. Uh. We've got plenty of time for that. I get it.

And it's funny because Jamie Fox always tells me when he plays basketball, he's a big basketball fan, big basketball player. He says, the playing of the game is fine. What's different now if he's fifty one as well, is the recovery. That's what he says. Different. Before he can play basketball five days a week. Now he plays one day and he needs like four days off before he can play again. Now, I trust me the rebound effect and and that that

goes for everything. Whether you're drink it all night and you get up, you cannot shake a hangover like you used to. Uh. And lack of sleep is now a big part of my life. When I was doing Cardinal Baseball on the radio, I was my My schedule was flipped so I would work on I would work at night, go back to the hotel bar, have a couple of drinks, go to bed, get up at eleven the crack of eleven, and then maybe try to work out, maybe not, and

then you're starting the whole process over. You get to the ballpark by four o'clock for seven o'clock game, and now it's it's it's the total opposite where I'm up at six o'clock because these twin boys and I'm I'm like fighting off. Thank God for Tiger King passed every night because that's the only time the house is quiet. My wife and I can actually watch something and be current in any conversation we get into. Right, Yeah, that makes sense. By the way, I just had a crazy thought.

There have never been twin There's never been a twin broadcasting team. Has there like a play by play team? Others are the property brothers twins? Yeah they are, but yeah, not not in terms of sporting events. But that's yeah. I will support my boys doing whatever the hell they want to do. My wife is an accident for Broncos cheerleader. One of our sons is exactly like me. Thick could run through a wall um and doesn't have the greatest hairline. The other one don't go anywhere. Hey, Pam will be

right back after a word from our sponsors. So JB, you were just giving us a little breakdown of of you know, your schedule as an announcer and all that. What do you think, because you're you're familiar with the entertainment industry, very familiar in fact, what do you think is harder? You think you stepping into an acting role and being good at that or an actor stepping into the booth and being good at that. Which one, which role reversal do you think would be harder? That's a

great question. Um, I and I am the last guy to my own horn. But I've done some acting. I've been on brock Meyer, I've been on a bunch of different things. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, j B, j B. Stop stop, you've done some acting. We gotta get you in one of our movies. Then what are you waiting for? I mean, google me and brock Meyer. If that doesn't impress you, then Kyle, Kyle Tequila, who is our producer who you met earlier? Kyle, I need you to write down Joe Buck on our too higher

list for our next couple of movies. Y j B, J B JB. We're holding you to that, Okay, but continue. If I had somebody you know named the greatest actor of our time, Uh, DeNiro, Gino Leo, any of these guys. If if I put a headset on and I went to go, it's but but that's not fair because I think we all kind of live in the world and you can kind of fake acting. But what I'm doing in the boot with is I'm seeing something and I'm reacting and I'm um forming an opinion and forming sentences

in my like while it's happening. But I've done that my entire life, so that's what I've that's what I'm trained to do. So it's not a fair comparison. But I think the answer is I could fake act way easier than they could fake, or you could fake broad So JB, what would be or you might stay the same answer, But what would be your answer if you just took person X, could person X? Is it easier or harder for them to go into acting or is

it harder for an actor to go into broadcasting? No, I think if you had person as who wasn't used to being on camera or wasn't used to being louder than you typically have to be or your business, that's a hard thing for me when I go to acting, Like if I'm sitting in a broadcast booth in a place happening in front of me. You don't even really have to have a headset. You can be in the back of the booth and you can hear me because

you have to be louder than you typically off. For me, the hard part of acting is being almost low key and being a little less because I see the camera on and I want to go get anything everyone and

went on into the broadcast right right, right. So I think if it was person actual, they would struggle both ways, because you know, it's uncomfortable to even try to put yourself on camera, and it's really awkward to watch an event not get caught up in the event and kind of remove yourself and just put a soundtrack to it, um, which is what I try to do when I'm broadcasting.

So I think they would struggle in both. But again I think my answer is they could probably stumble through some sort of acting thing than they could pay well. I also think the thing that we're not talking about is that when you're acting, it's usually in a controlled environment. When you're announcing, you have no idea what is going to happen, you know, so you have to change, You have to come up with stuff on the fly because you don't control that narrative. And that's that's the good

and the bad. When I've tried to cross the midline and go to act and remember lines or whatever it is and trying to deliver lines like they're my own thoughts, I mean, I think that's a weird thing. But at the same time, if you're sitting in a broadcast booth in Cleveland on a Thursday night and a guy takes his helmet off and starts swinging at a helmetless quarterback for the Pitch Steelers, you gotta kind of start talking about that right now. There's no preparation, there's no nobody's

writing it out for you. Nobody's work shopping lines, nobody's punching it up, nobody's doing any of the phrases that you guys use, and so you have to live in the present and there is no delete button. Yeah that's so great. You you did that, You did that game? Yeah, oh you did Okay, Yeah he just got reinstated, right, yeah, he got reinstated. He got the rest of the season off. Last year, and I just remember I was sick as

a dog. Both my my boys had been sick and I didn't even know if I was gonna make it to the game, and then I, um, the game's over. I got through the game. I was, you know, trying to fight back being really ill, and I'm almost packing my stuff up. It was like ten seconds left in the game and then I I look up, but it

was just almost like what just happened? And our producers just talking in my ear and he says, wait till you see what happened on this replay, and they roll the replay and the first time, you know, anybody watching it at home saw it. It was the first time that I saw it, and it was just like whoa, you know, like, how does that happen? The game was basically over and a blowout, and then this crazy thing happened.

So yeah, you have to be ready for whatever happens in a live event over three and a half hours. And that's why you were one of the greatest ever do the goat. Now you're a three time National Sportscaster of the Year. You want a ton of Emmy's. What do you think is hard to receive that award or an m v P in one of the four major sports? Now, I know you were humble earlier about you and Troy, But you know that's the m v P of broadcasting.

I'll go with the same. I mean, I think when you get to a level like I didn't win a national competition to be the main voice of the Fox. Now, I've done it long enough, and I guess you could make the argument I've done it well enough. Certainly on my detractors, certainly have this ship I deal with on social media. All that, I get it. I can do seminars on that, But there is no national competition. Fox hired me in I got the main job in ninety six. I got the main football job in oh one, I think,

and I haven't messed it up since then. That's not to say that I won't tomorrow, but to this amount to be at that level, whether you're the you're in the NHL, you're in the NBA, you're in the NFL, you're Major League Baseball, to be that good compared to all these guys that are the best high school player in our high school team, the best local player in their community, the best college player on their team, the

top draft pick, whatever it is. To get to that level and be the best, that's just a different thing. I think that's the answer. Easily. Being an m d P is way harder than what I'm doing right right, Yeah, I would. I would have to agree with them, David. Okay, So JB, look, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while. We're friends. We're friends off off the felt or off the court. I would like to say, and uh, um, so I'm from Dallas, you're from St. Louis,

And I love asking people hypothetical type of questions. Um. If I could erase one sports moment from uh from history, the moment that I would pick JB. Oh, boy, what do you what do you go ahead? You're gonna say game six and he's too good. He's too good. So uh So, for all the audience out there, I don't you know, uh, disregard that Joe doesn't know me at all. So Joe for me, it was a Game six of the two thousand and eleven World Series when Nelson crews

decided to uh. I don't know what happened. I feel like brain farted. But for that moment, I would erase that in history because I wanted a championship and in a World Series title from my Rangers. So my question for you, Mr Joe Buck is, if you could go back in time and erase one sports moment, it doesn't have to be related to St. Louis, it could be

any moment. What moment would you choose and why? Um I think personally, if i'm if I'm being real, I think probably the Randy Moss fake mooning and lambeau Field. I would like for that to be erased from history for reason. In that moment, and I was calling it and I think it was oh four, I think it might have been a two thousand five two, but it's long enough ago. I reacted in a visceral way. I don't know why that pissed me off so much. And I look back on it and I kind of understand.

And on one hand, I'm proud that I was at least free and strong and confident enough to say how I really felt instead of being like a phony. Right, But on the end, and I looked back and I look at me saying it was disgusting with him rubbing his ass on the gold post after doing a big movie in the end zone, and I'm like, you know, probably too much, but I just wish the event never happened. I wish they just played the game. That moment didn't happen.

I wasn't associated with it. Randy Moss wasn't fine for a straight cash Homi comment afterward. I just wish it was gone and you know. But but other than that, I can honestly tell you, you know that that game that you reference two thousand eleven, Game six is one of these crazy games that you even even if you know how the thing ends, you can't believe that the Cardinals down to their final strike twice in the ninth and in the tenth, end up tying the game winning

in the eleventh, but then go on to win Game seven. JB. Do you remember that, um uh me and my girlfriend at the time, we were in Arlington, Texas. Do you remember I tex ste and you said come on up to the booth and you let us come up to the boot er in the World Series. Yeah, but that's fun for me, Like I love opening up the doors to the booth too. People who do stuff, I mean anybody, but but people who are friends of mine who don't get to experience that, put on a headset, listen to

what we're listening to. H meet whoever I'm working with. At that it was Tim McCarver. But I really I

think it's fun for people. It's why there was a great show years ago on A and E or some some network had iconic class where they brought in, you know, like Michael Stipe of R E M was with Mario the tally of the Chef World, and they kind of traded its spots for a day or one taught the other what it was like to be there and I and and that stuff to me is fascinating to to see somebody and what you go through, what I do in a typical day. Nobody when the curtain gets pulled back,

that that's when stuff really gets fun. I I honestly, I couldn't agree more. Or you know, at the time, um, you know I was dating obviously you remember this. Dave and Joda's Jennifer love Hewett was my was my girlfriend, and I remember, you know, being at the game and we were so excited and then I didn't even tell her. I was texting with JB and then all of a sudden, I'm like, hey, do you want to go up to the to the booth And she's like, what do you mean?

And I'm like, well, I'm friends with Joe Buck and we can go up to the booth, and she's like freaking out, like there's no way that Joe Buck is texting you right now in the middle of the World Series and you can go up there. So it's funny that you say that because she's a you know, obviously everybody knows who Jennifer is, and there's a huge actress, and you know, even for her in that moment, she became a fan and was like, there's no way we can go up to this booth and and get to

see Joe. I help me. Letting you guys in the booth, you know, led to a nice post game for you knowing Jared he might have dropped the ball, who knows, but that's my guest, Joe. Well, um, that's all the time we have on the Hey Pal podcast. Appreciate everybody, like, don't go anywhere, Hey Pam will be right back after

a work for our sponsors. I have a question, and obviously you've shared some incredible, incredible sports moments throughout your career, Uh, what is one moment that stands out that you really enjoyed, you know, sharing with the audience that was a non championship moment, just a just a regular game that something happened that you really really enjoyed and thought was really cool. Yeah, I I the one thing that I think stands out and maybe now more than it has in a long

time because of the times you're in. But I think you can go back to two thousand one in Game three of the World Series. Now it's a non championship moment, but take You do not have to be political at all to make this statement. And I'm really pretty a political when it comes to this. I both sides driving me crazy, and I kind of live in the middle. And yeah, I pick and choose what I want to believe and listen to, and I get frustrated and happy

and whatever on my own. But when nine eleven took place in two thousand one, and then President Bush came out and it could have been any president not taking sides, but fired a strike before Game three like this show of strength, it was the most powerful moment that I've ever seen and it had nothing just like there's the President of the United States. We were all in the Yankee Stadium and this was not long after September eleven, be,

you know. I remember walking into the stadium going I went from the car into through security, and from the car, I thought, man, I feel like vulnerable being in the Yankee Stadium in a World Series after all that's transpired. And then by the time I got in there, I was like, I'm in the safest place on the earth, I mean, no doubt about it. And then he came in. It was really kind of unannounced that that was even opening. And then he fired a strike from the pitching amount.

There's a great HBO doc about that and him warming up underneath the stadium with Derek Jeter. So again not not political, but just for the country's power or like some kind of statement. I thought that that was really freaking cool. I've got I've got I don't know about you, Dave, but I've gone back and watched that moment. I didn't want to rewatch the game, but I've rewatched that moment when Bush comes out and goes and fires that pitch, And what a beautiful moment. That's a great that's a

great answer. That's a great answer. It's one of those chill moments that just gives you goose bumps. And you know, I think uh, you know, it shows the power of sports and how it transcends the game, sometimes transcends sport. And I think it's gonna be incredible because we're gonna have one of those moments when this pandemic comes to an end and people are actually allowed to get back into an arena on a field. The energy that's going to be in that building or in that stadium when

that happens is going to be incredible. It'll be emotional and and and more times than not, Like I I realized, not everybody's a sports fan, and certainly you don't have to be, and it can be limiting if you're just all in and just consumed by sports. But that said, I think we knew then back in two thousand eleven. We're certainly reminded now and nothing really new. Sports twice is on TV. It's a big part of American life.

You don't have to be at. But when it's not there, even for somebody that's a non fan or a casual fan, it's like there's something there's a noise going on that kind of is. It brings people together, it can spur conversation, you know, very similar to Tiger King Joe exactly. Yes, I will never look at the Cincinnati Bengal or or the Detroit Lions if if he gets out of prison prior to his twenty two year sentence ending sometime in my lifetime, I want to see him on the sideline

for the Bengals of the line um JV. So, so we like to close out the show with two uh too quick fun segments that we've we've created here on the Hey Pal podcast. The first segment is called spelling Be. We like to give our guests um a word. I chose the word this week, so that means that Dave does not know it neither do you know, cheating both of you, and uh, we see if you can, if you can spell the word. I think he was grabbing his mouse to get on his computer for a second,

and your your phone, you get out, put your hands. Okay, you're right, Okay, I'm with you. I'm with you, all right. So welcome to Spelling Be. Dave Osco and Joe Buck. Joe Buck, you're up first to the mic. Can you spell Nandi awesome wall? And you can? And by the way, I'll just give you can go ahead and just do the last name. You can do awesome wall a s It's like awesome mooga. It's a sh o m o u g a h. I don't want to reveal whether or not that's right or wrong until Dave has a

chance to rebuttle. Dave, would you like a chance to rebuttle? Can you? Can you use it in a sentence? Please? Yes? Yes, Yes I can, Dave. Great question. Joe did not exercise his spelling be rights and did not ask me. I will use it as a sentence. Um, Mr awesome wah was the spelling B word that I just gave Joe Buck? What is the origin of the world? Um? Awesome wa awesome wa awesome wa? Um a s guy a s you m o u g h awesome wa. Okay, so here here we go. I might need to find a

new co host because he booked your name. Um, but but Mr j B, you were very close. It's a s O m u g h n. So that's one when you're doing back when I had them more times than not Heres with the Eagles. I just spelled it on my board fanatically, So I put awesome a e s O m A dash w a h. I love that. Yeah, I mean I was trying to go outside the box a little bit with my rendition of the spelling of the word. I'm also a die hard Eagles fan, as

you know, flagles fly. And the saddest thing about this is last night I googled most difficult names to spell and snore and he came up, and I was like, nobody's gonna ask that. Sharon's not gonna ask anybody that, and I let it go. You're doing homework. I'm getting hit out of blue all right, that's true. All right, speaking out outside of the box. Why don't you take over introduce him into penalty box. So it's now time for the hay Pal penalty Box. Joe, I'm gonna ask

you a series of questions. Just answer as quickly as you can. First word that comes to mind, uh, you recently got a lot of attention for your adult film. Uh contract offer, which kind of makes you a sex symbol now among a lot of women throughout these United States. The question boxers are briefs Joe boxers? All right?

Space Mountain, Space Mountain and to Space Mountain. Okay, sure, And to finish off the penalty box, Mr Joe Buck, I need you to cut two of these players off of your team. Jim Edmonds, Marshall Falk Brett Hole, Tim McCarver, Albert pooleholes Auzie Smith, who's getting cut too, too quicker than you got to the next name. Uh, all right, I'm gonna say. I I hate to do this, but

I'm gonna cut Tim Wow. Tim mccarver's out here. Yeah, I only because I think even more as a broadcaster and my partner the other guys like Ozzy was my idol growing up. Albert's one of the best players I've ever covered and best humans I've ever covered in my life. I mean, I could go on and on, but yeah, I'm gonna say Jim's gone and Tim's gone. I would not I would not have guessed he was gonna go

with Tim McCarver. By the way, Ozzie Smith running out to play shortstop doing those backflips is about the coolest thing, and he can still do it, but I know it's amazing. He's unbelievable. Um all right, Well, Joe, that is uh, that is all we have and all the time that we have for today.
