Joe Buck, Brian Harman Pissed Off All Of England, Mt Rushmore of Blue Things + Monday Reading

He is, he is. I told him this in the interview. He is part of the fabric of Pardon my Take. You can't tell the story of Pardon my Take without Joe Buck. He's that important to us, so it was a great interview with him. He's also become.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, July 24th and the boys are back together. Let's go boys. I have made the move officially. We are all in Chicago.

Well, actually, not all of us, but the big Four, BFD, Hank and Jake Max is huge, very large, huge part of the show.

But it's good, we made it through the summer of Zooms, so thank you to all the award-winning listeners. We knew that there was times where it sucked because it's never as good. When we're apart and we can't riff and we can't be together and chop it up, we like to see the.

We're just.

It feels good.

I should golf. Oh, you weren't already. It's our fault, it's our fault, sorry.

Him getting out of that SUV. I can't speak, I've. I also should just say I moved today.

I'm on our like 18, just my my brain is mush. But yes, he getting out of the SUV. He looked like a mini Brian Harmon. It's almost like he needed the steps.

He's the Ben Simmons.

I had no thoughts about him. I ended up the tournament being like, I hate watching this guy because of the waggle. But the fact that he pissed off England so much made me a Brian Harmon fan.

He was kind of, to be honest, kind of a boring champion, right? Like, we don't know that much about.

That is the fifth major for Max He.

I think he broke the record, um, in the British Open, Open Championship. For least amount of putts, yeah, he had 106. he made 58 out of 59 putts within 10 feet, yeah.

He made every single one within five and he he went, uh, 13 for 14.

So when we play, we play. Brian Harmon rules. It's like, if it's within 10 feet, I'm as.

Well, some people. Rory short, Rory is short, but he's got that power. He had that power, He had that power. It would have been his turn. Rory Loki has a dump on him.

Okay, can we talk about Rory real quick? Yeah, I'm off, Rory.

Or do you not think that way? And he said, I don't think that way. I think about trying to go and win a fourth Fedex, Uh, here in a couple of weeks. Go try and win a fifth race to Dubai, go win a fifth Ryder Cup. I just keep looking forward that my friends is loser talk.

Fedex Cup means nothing, nothing, it's your, it's your money, it means your legacy is defined.

Like, that's a fact.

I'm like, who's going to win the race to Dubai? is it going to be Rory or is it going to be somebody?

He should have just.

Yes, I would have accepted that as an answer. Not. The race to Dubai is what I'm worried about. I think Rory don't care about the the like 10 year gap that I haven't been able to win a major. I think Rory can kiss his legacy.

The patrons get hit by way more golf balls at an open championship than any other tournament. Cause the fairways are so fucked up and narrow. I think sometimes they don't even know. They're like, standing in the middle of a fairway, but they don't really realize it yet. And then just golf balls start drilling them.

I feel like every golf shot that does not land in a clean, nice patch of grass ends up bouncing off somebody. Yeah, and it's I, I like, uh.

Like, that's it, everything is harder and I like that. Um, but yeah, Brian Harmon, he, he channeled Kirby smart, uh, he had a quote.

What was it? It was something that.

This is talking about Saturday night. By the way, when he's got what, do you have? A six stroke lead, five or six, five or six? I was a wreck last night, I mean, I've been a wreck the whole week. But I kept thinking about something, Kirby Smart said. I'm not going to be hunted.

I'm going to hunt which is the most cliche college football. How do I get these 18 year olds, like, pumped up to go beat the shit out of Vanderbilt in week four speech ever? But Brian Harmon channeled it and won the Open champion. I wonder if he was just.

No problem for that. Uh, Roy's from Northern Ireland. Don't correct me, I know that, uh. But the fans were giving him the business.

They also the the The British Press was given him. This is when I turned into a Brian Harmon fan because it felt personal, it felt like a U. S versus England situation. They wrote this about Brian Harmon, Uh, who is a hunter? Actually a hunter?

Uh, he said, they wrote. In one of the more bizarre major press conference departures of recent times. The 36 year old explained his pension for killing animals. He missed a cut at the Masters and immediately slaughtered a pig and a turkey that rocks. I've been a hunter my entire life, he boasted.

I enjoy the strategy of it. We eat a lot of wild meat at my house, so I enjoy butchering and I do a lot of hunting. Champions traditionally drink from the Claret jug. One is left to ponder, what on earth harmon?

And they're going to kill him. No, like he's listening, he's going to, he's going to fill it up. He's from Georgia, right? He's going to fill with beer moonshine.

Yeah, he's going to drink some moonshine or the Claret jug and good for him if he gets crazy. But I should put a peach cobbler in it. British people, they try to act like they're above hunting over there. Do you know how they hunt?

In England, it's way worse than the United States and England. When you go on a hunt, you have to buy a license. And you use foxes to go out there and then chase, uh, or, sorry, you. You get hounds to go chase the foxes, and you get these hounds to like, rip the foxes limb from limb, right? And then you come in and then you shoot them with like a gun or a bow and arrow at the.

Like that, actually, it seems a little bit more, you know, even what playing field when you're bow hunting versus shooting a deer with like a a military grade scope and sniper rifle? I just when I saw that, I was like, Fuck this, fuck England. I want him to win, I want him to be boring, short, all these things right in your fucking face.

And he did it, so I, I, I. I don't think I'm a Brian Harmon fan, I think I'm just a fan of the fact that he won that in their face, in Fleetwood and McElroy's face. And also won it and made it so boring how he won it, he was kicking.

I also he, did you do you see what he does? to, uh, to practice his putting, how he got?

They've got all these sticks that people bring out onto the range and God knows where they put them when they're trying to work on certain elements of the swing. He just bought like, this putter thing that's got a mirror where you can watch the blade of your putter. Go over it to make sure that it's straight. He's like, Yeah, I paid 50 bucks for this thing and now I'm the best putter in the world. So I think, I think we have to. They don't, they don't sell those in England.

They don't sell these like crazy infomercials, I.

Who knows what that is? It's a freight, it's a freighting company. I looked it up, it was like, this sounds bad-ass, but I'll just say this Megacorp, you do more than freight.

Yeah, there's no way like that's the coolest name for a company ever, Megacorp. I saw Megacorp and I was like, this.

I.

And I, I'm saying all this, I'm somewhat.

What if we call our company MegaCorp? what are we going to do? We're going to be fucking mega, We're going to take over the world, We're a fucking mega World Corporation.

Oh, wait, that's it, that's sick.

Let's go Mega, Megacorp, Megacorp Logistics.

Yes, well, all right, so so we're, we're doing this in sales. What if we just?

Yes, they essentially just serve.

Megacorp could go to the moon I trust Megacorp to go to the moon.

I think we should just get.

Just be like, Yeah, I work at Megacorp, what do you do? Yeah, oh yeah, you work for the CIA.

Well.

I thought at first it was a joke, they spent all their money on the name. Yeah, it felt like a joke, like, put your ad here.

Like, Brian Harman can't get any advertising. So he's like, Look, this could be you MegaCorp, and then I googled, like, Shit, genuine Mega, these guys are fucking killing it.

That's the catchphrase, absolutely killing it. Let's get Mega with it, I want, I want Megacorp, come do some mad deals with us.

I think it's mega, mega, mega grit. Okay, yeah, uh.

Obviously, winning a major is major. It's mega, uh? But Brian Harman before this basically had a dream life. I didn't realize this, cause I'm not the most tuned in golf guy. He had made $30 million in his career, he made the Fedex, whatever.

It is the thing that Rory only cares about. Race to Dubai Yeah, by the way, the race to Dubai is, uh, the road to European Tours top spot. And right now, that makes no sense, just from like a.

So Rory's already doubled them up. This would be like if Shohei was like, Yeah, I got more important things getting the playoffs. I want to maybe do a rehab stint and triple A and hit for the cycle, yeah.

Okay, dude, awesome.

Uh, but wait, what were we talking about?

He just forgets that he has meetings and stuff, he loses time. Either way, you think there's a small part of him that's like, Ah, I kind of like being under the radar. Now people are going to start calling me short expectations, expectations. $30 million is a lot of money to make as a professional athlete and be completely anonymous.

So what'd he make today? Like 4 million? Yeah, and he is, obviously.

That's the only thing that, like, it's a little bit worse. Finishing in second place would have been great for him, I'm sure he. He would say like, Yeah, I'm glad that I won, but second place that. That way, you really do get to get away with never having to accomplish anything like special. It's just like I've got a great life.

I played golf, I go to every University of Georgia game that I can, and I'm a millionaire and nobody.

And that's how he went and won.

Yeah, you heard about those like, making try that in Liverpool. So somebody walks you past his house and says, That's Brian Harman's house. Your reaction is, oh, okay, yeah.

I guess he's probably a pretty good golfer now. It's like, that's Brian Harman's house now, people are like, how do I rob it? how do I rob that place?

That Jason Aldean controversy was was peak. Everyone's way too much online. Yeah, like, what are people even debating? It was I was, I love, I love when I. I've been able to selectively, and it's more because I have other shit going on in my life, but selectively, like, stay a little bit above the controversies.

I have no interest in where I just read a little bit about it, but don't actually understand what people are arguing about. So you?

Now, Jason, he made a lot.

Oh, there were women, people of color, and it's like, well, like. And then there was one person who who had an entire thread about, um, which sucked. This whole story about how they took over the New Mexico land and pushed a bunch of farmers off the land. And like, how history doesn't tell that. And it was horrific, and it is horrific, but the bomb was killed. A lot of people like that would wait till you get to the end of the movie and that that that part is pretty bad, too.

Hank didn't come along cause he wasn't here, but you were talking about how much he golfed. Uh, we played at this one course, and I swear to God. Like, seven people that we saw there came up to us and said, Oh, yeah. Hank plays here, and so Hank's played up at this Chicago for a month, and he's played at this course. So much that every person that works there knows Hank, half the golfers that are up there are like, Yeah, I've played with Hank before.

I'm ready. We don't have an office. You made so many friends at all these courses. Again, like, is it my fault that I'm a friendly guy? am I being? am I being besmirched for being a friendly, easygoing guy?

They're going to think that.

We're getting, we're inching closer to August. Like at some point, once we have an office, I'll be there. This is like, you know what it is, PFT and I are in a relationship with Hank, you just got here.

And we sent him, and we sent him to real world, and he calls us first night. He's like, I don't even like any of these chicks here, like I, it's fine, like I won't cheat on you guys.

And then after a couple of weeks, like, wait, he's not calling us anymore and now I think we're in trouble. I don't understand, the world is not. I told you guys exactly what I was doing.

You guys were like, Yes, that makes so much sense. You work so hard, you deserve to take a little bit of time off being retired. Don't have an office so you can't even go there.

So it makes complete sense. I'm just worried, I'm just worried.

Now you, you just you're out there. I'm out, I'm out in the street. Does anybody make you laugh?

Like, we do yeah, when you guys aren't.

They got together via Zoom, which we all know that works really well when you're trying to do anything business related. Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb confirmed Sunday he participated in the call, said Saquon Barkley, Derek Henry and Christian McCaffrey were also in the meeting. So sorry it wasn't called as a meeting.

Josh Jacobs also took a part, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, a PFT first report of the news. That's pro football, Talk said. The meeting was organized by Austin Eckler, who has been outspoken about running backs not being paid their true worth. And Nick Chubb said Right now, there's really nothing we can do. We kind of hang and cuffed with a situation where the only position where our production hurts the most.

So if we go out and we run for 2000 yards with so many carries the next year, they're going to say, you're probably worn down. It's tough, it hurts us at the end of the day. So basically, they got on a Zoom call and they're like, this sucks, and then everyone was like, This sucks.

And then they raise their hand. Somebody says, there's really not a lot we can do about it.

On a Sunday.

Just a text message, and then everybody emphasizes.

Damn, another one of our guys.

Here's so much money that you won't be upset about it. Tax-free, right? Yeah, tax-free.

And then you have to also go mine some asteroids in outer space and save the world. Yeah, sure, tax-free, whatever, it's tax-free.

If you can take the franchise tag away, no touchdowns, no touchdown celebration. Yeah, you remember that?

Cause, like the the owners in the N.FL, they pretended to care about, like all these different weird parts of the game. But they just do it so they can use it as a leverage chip in the negotiations. Like, do you think that Jerry Jones gave a fuck? If any of his players smoked weed, I mean, he was the owner when Michael Irvin was on Dallas Cowboys, they don't give a shit if the players smoke weed. But they pretended to care about it for like, 20 years because they knew, okay. The players will give us something valuable if we take away the weed test.

Right, but still, players should just be like, Okay, what about this? Give him the 18th game? yeah, 18th game and no franchise tag.

And a 19th game, yeah, and there should be football every day. No, it really, it does come down to the.

Right, so I'd like to spend one of those years playing football.

Maybe BrickWatch will do a small business to NFL running backs, that'd be nice. Yeah, we need to do something about this, we.

I'll have to look back.

That's not fair, that's not right. Yeah, it's trolling. TK is a troll.

I bet you there's some guys who just have that type of metabolism, genetics. What kind of bag of candy are we talking about? So much to be that big, I feel like I would, I wouldn't know.

Shadow Just Single just eats McDonald's every meal. Yeah, I don't think it wasn't fucking jacked up. Yeah, some guys just have God's gift.

I can't right, I can't wait for.

Once they stop racing, they just want to lay on the couch, eat candy all day. Yeah, by the way, if you guys want.

I don't, I don't want to know Jeff Brown's 10 days. Yeah, I don't want to bring up bad stuff. Wait, Jake, that's more than.

Cause I, uh, like anyone on Twitter right now, is doing the countdown and I love them all. My friend stuck, he said. Uh, seven weeks from now, right? At this time, you'll be placing a wager on Sunday night football after, like, barely escaping the first week of NFL and the full slate. I read that and I get so excited, Hank reads that and he's like, It's over.

You just must hate that. I get so excited when I, when, when, when. Seven weeks is so doable. That's nothing. I saw that today too, and I did. I was on the plane.

I was like, That's nothing. Yeah, what the fuck you're? you are some golfing, yeah?

It's coming, it's coming for.

Okay.

Back big time, our guys, my hometown team, Jake's hometown team into Miami. I hate MLS team names. yeah, enter Miami.

Although the.

FC Sporting Casey Yeah, give me a fucking break. Uh, yeah.

You have to kick off. Yeah, and that poor guy who's laying underneath the wall was so funny. Oh yeah, they had the when you set up a wall and they had a guy because everyone jumps.

So there was a guy laying on the ground, so he's just laying on the ground, is messy, just puts a perfect ball into the.

Yeah, messy, though. He's the fucking best, he's the goat he is.

And Beckham was there.

It's in there, I actually.

But I, I remember one that I read a few years ago about about Messy, that he wrote, How Messy is. Elite at walking, he's the greatest walker of all time. Because he actually would get criticized for it, and they did a whole study about it. And he, he spends the first five minutes, he's never, ever scored a goal in the first two minutes of a game.

He spends the first five minutes just walking around, just basically figuring out the weaknesses, weak points in the defense. And he a lot of times he'll be walking while everyone else is running. And his gravity, the way that the defense has to, like, move around to him. Just walking changes the.

And he's, he's very efficient, he doesn't waste energy. Yeah, so messy is the goat that was, that was.

He's just an MLS try to show you should have a shirt tucked in. you don't have to tuck in for the MLS. That's a fact, yeah.

It's like a shitty golf course to put in a hankster. I'm pretty sure they have to.

Yeah, I told you to.

Look, yeah, uh okay. good. Who's back?

Uh, my, who's back? The week is the Houston Oilers? Yeah, the Houston Oilers are back. The Tennessee Titans unveiled their throwback uniforms.

And you might be saying, Wait, Tennessee, they've only had a team for what? The last, uh, 12 years, 13 years, and you'd be right. So the throwbacks are actually the Houston Oilers uniforms, which is very disrespectful to the city of Houston.

If I was a Houstonite, Houstonian, I would be, I would be so pissed off. You should not be allowed to wear another if you go. If you move your team to a different city, you can take those colors. I get that, but you can never actually put on the Houston Oilers uniform and they're iconic. you're neither Houston nor Oilers.

Yes, and they're iconic, they're great. Will Levis does look nice in the jersey, though Ryan Tannehill does not look tough.

Does not look tough in the jersey. They've worn those before, though. Yeah, but it sucks, it sucks. There's nothing about Tennessee.

That's.

Yeah, very oily, uh.

Like the I think the Eagles are finally doing Kelly Green.

Patriots are doing the blue ones too. I hope they're wearing the blue and silver. They're wearing the path to patriots. Oh, you mean the middle ones? I think, not the not the path to patriots.

No, they are wearing the path to patriots. But he's talking about the like, the like, the Nineties. Oh yeah, yeah, that was Scott Scott Zolak era.

The old jerseys, like the I don't know what it was, but something happened in the last 10 years where they've just dulled every jersey and meet. Cause they all kind of look the same. And if you go back, even you know the box, all these jerseys just popped so much more, they were so unique and cool.

They are going to wear the cream schools, this is going to be awesome. I want all of it.

I want their cream. Schools Eagles should always wear Kelly Green, the Texans should get the Oilers.

They tried, said, they tried. Yeah, so that's the nicest way to put.

Cause it's just like kicking dirt in their face. The only way that the Titans should be allowed to wear these, it's like wear it to my face. They should have to wear those in Houston playing against the Tech, so the Texans get the chance to whoop their ass wearing those jerseys. And.

It's it's also crazy that we're getting into the throwbacks that, uh, I remember vividly people hating when they were real. Like, the Pistons have worn their one with the horse on it, the Grant Hill. Yeah, the the Grizzlies people thought the Grizzlies jerseys were were weird when they first came out, the Vancouver Grizzlies.

Yeah, now you look back and you're.

We're going to make these crazy ass designs, like the Pistons logo. Like the, Uh, the Wizards. When they unveiled that weird angular wizard that looked like, I don't know, like a hologram of a pedophile from Harry Potter. Those things were at the time like, Whoa, this is space ages. Fuck, look how cool our technology is. And then, by the time the mid two thousands rolled around, we're like, Uh, our technology is actually way better than it was back then.

And those look like dog shit, so we're just going to dial it back. So the jerseys we have now were a by-product of, like, the late two thousands, which were a reaction to the jerseys of the late Nineties. Right? Maybe it'll swing the other way soon, but right now we're still kind of stuck in that. Let's be really conservative with our redesign.

I want some crazy.

One is, uh, Aaron Rogers, who looks great. Uh, I don't know if you guys saw, but the their jerseys stink, too. Yeah, they do.

So he lost a little bit of weight, but I think he looks great. People are saying he looks too skinny. I think he looks just perfect.

Yeah, he looks like he. It looks like one of those helmets that you get to eat ice cream out of. At Baskin Robbins. He looks fresh and ready to go.

One of the best five yard throws you'll ever see in your life. It might've been five feet, it was up to five yards long. Yeah, the caption, making it look easy.

Yeah, he said he did. They were trolling, cause that's funny. If they were, I don't think they were.

He did make it look easy. Yeah, he did. It looked very.

I saw this thing and I, I got jealous of something that my four-year-old has, that I bought with my own money. And I was like, Fuck you dude, I want this bunk bed, look at this shit, this is, this is, exactly this is. I found it online.

Look at that, it just walks up the stairs. Of course. He was just flaunting in my face, just walking back, He was like, Look at me.

I can go up and down the stairs right in my face. Stella was going up and down the stairs. I was like, Fuck this. It used to be a ladder.

It used to be like, you, you, basically, uh, if if one of your friends had bunk beds, you were going to get hurt. And it like, at no point was it going to be a safe thing? Because you, you know, you'd wrestle and then you push each other off the bunk bed and all that, I dare you to jump off, yeah, right. And it was all attached and hit someone in the head, the thin little ladder.

You miss a wrong when you're walking down, when you're when you're getting, like when you're a little hazy in the morning. Bunk beds used to be dangerous, now they just fucking rock, and it's a Queen bed underneath that's sick. And then someone showed me someone, cause I tweeted this and people were replying and they were talking about, like, what they brought for their kids.

There's bunk beds with slides, legitimate slides.

We should actually.

I want this bunk bed, I think I might buy it for myself and just not even put it in my.

It goes as cool as his dude, he's got everything I want and more. I kind of want a race car bed, those things, I'm sure, I'm sure.

Indy car bed I bet you somebody awesome. somebody has an F one bed, dude, if I could sleep all night in an F 18. A hornet, oh my god.

I bet you they've made them, it'd be so.

I had no idea, I guess this is, someone replied and said that this has been the way for 15 years now. So cause obviously we've, we're getting up there in age, so we skipped this whole thing. So it might. It might've been something we just never knew about until this very moment. But bunk beds rock.

It does look fun to me, it looks so fun. It's just too easy for him to get down, though. I do kind of want we'll see, all right.

Maybe I'll, just maybe I'll put like the chemical cows through, like, put some nails on it or something.

Yeah, when he.

He just kept on coming down. He's like, I love my new bed, I love it, fucking go to bed.

So, yeah, bunk beds back in a big way. Jake Um, who's back is Vanderbilt? Vanderbilt Football was picked to win the SEC by five different media members.

No, what did they all go to? SEC, I don't know, but they're tied for fourth in terms of first place votes. When we were there for for tight end you, one of their one of their coaches was like, things are turning around, and I bought it, I did buy it.

They said, Yeah, we're.

Word on the street is Vanderbilt might be embracing the downfield lateral. Yeah, that's word on the street. These guys probably heard about that. Can I?

Five, it's Georgia, has Georgia, but it doesn't have Alabama and LSU. So, like, you could be like, Oh, if Georgia has a catastrophic thing happen where they just can't play football. We are Marshall, Florida. There's also like, 500 votes, yeah.

Okay, there we go, cause I'm looking.

Also other Who's back? Yes, I'm going to plug it. The Corn Ferry Tour, yeah.

Huge week on Barstool.tv. We're going to be live Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from three 30 to six 30, Eastern, two 30 local time. It's here in Chicago.

It's going to be so much fun. The Tea Time should be released either today or tomorrow, I'm not sure, but it's going to be, it's going to be awesome. Do you have any calls prepared? Not yet.

No, you're going to whisper, Yeah, oh no.

Jake, just wait, you were too excited with the whisper you need, like, a very hushed you, you did nail as bad as your call was. Um, for the hank, winning the lottery ball, which made me wanted, and the hundredth number, which made me want to be deaf. And have one of your ADA apartments. Uh, the your call for the PLL was awesome.

Oh, thank you. Yeah, no, you did a great job, thank you. I think it's I don't like the calls when it's just anything that celebrates.

Hank, That's fair, that's what makes me upset, That's fair, but I have to be. It was an exciting moment.

It was a vulnerable moment for me. Hank, I'm I'm admitting, uh, that I have this issue. Am I allowed to go to the work event? Yeah, you're not competing this week.

I fully expected you to find a way to be in this tournament. I don't know how you're not. There's still there, there's, there's still time, yeah.

There's still absolutely okay, there's a qualifier tomorrow. Seriously, really.

So he could actually play in this tournament. What do you like? How good are the guys playing in the qualifier? Probably a lot better than the winner of this tournament. Last year. Over 40, it was 22 under par. Okay.

Was it broadcast? Uh, I don't, I don't know that. I know they go live for the 72nd hole, I was watching that today.

They show the upcoming schedule at the end of the UH, British Open. And it had, like, Fedex on this one. No, I don't think so. No, if I was on the Corn Fairy Tour, I would cheat so hard.

Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado. And now here's Joe Buck, Okay?

We now welcome on one of our favorite.

Uh, we haven't talked to you in forever. I W. I was thinking about it. I was like, Man, we need to have Joe Buck back on. Because for people who don't know well, no one would know this. We actually were going to have you on in the football season and it was going to be the Monday, uh, before the Bengals and Bills played.

And, uh, we know how that went, so it was good that we didn't have you on, you, remember?

So here we are. And yeah, I do remember that game all too well. And, uh, very thankful for the way things, uh, have turned out for Mr. DeMar Hamill. And I've gotten to know him a little bit since then.

And he is, uh, he is a wonderful young guy and, uh, can't believe he's going at it again. But who am I to tell anybody?

So we kind of went after him. I thought you did a good job in that situation. It was a very, very tough situation. You were walking a tight rope where you're just reacting, honestly, to what you saw, um, but not making any missteps, like.

You handled that as perfectly as you could in such a bad situation. So as as much as we like to bust your balls.

The way you said it is, you have to not make any missteps. And I think the one thing that that I'm really proud of everybody that was involved that night was the restraint, the restraint of not speculating, of not guessing, of not. There was no information. And when there's no information and the red light is on and you know that you're supposed to be saying something, it's. It's a bit unnerving to not have anything to go on other than what everybody else saw. I, there's. I had no information that people watching on television didn't have. I, you know, you, you see them working on him.

You see the ambulance, you see the ambulance leave. We eventually knew where he headed and where he ended up. But other than that, I mean, you just keep repeating yourself and and you realize at that moment how small sports are. Uh, and you know, not to be corny about it, but I the. The job that those medical people did down on that field was like landing a plane on the Hudson. They were absolutely perfect in front of a full stadium of people and national audience, saving somebody's life. And and I. I can't imagine the pressure, but I think the pressure may go out the window when you're just doing your job and you're reacting.

In the moment it's, it's no different than I would imagine, uh, calling a Superbowl or playing in a Superbowl, or whatever it might be. Once it's time to go, you go and you don't think about, you know what else is around you. Yeah, you didn't do the thing that that we.

And you could see over the players and them feverishly trying to revive him. Uh, and then, as my phone is just blowing up with my daughter's texting me, my wife, friends I haven't heard from in forever. People that are like, you start realizing, Oh my God, you know, there are people hanging on every moment of this situation. And you know again, to know where we are, I mean, even to know where we were four days after that. But now where we are, where he's about to head to camp, uh, is is pretty remarkable.

It really is, it really is, and I don't want to.

Uh, all right, let's take down your pants. Uh, the first week, Monday night football. I said this while we were taping afterwards the Broncos, uh, playing the Seahawks. And I said, your call of that game, the beginning of the game, where you had the sense to let the crowd just speak.

You did, I don't think you said a word. From the time Russell Wilson walked on the field till after the first play transpired. And letting the moment speak for itself. I'm curious, do you think that's something that, you know? 20 years ago, you would have had the wherewithal to be like, Hey, this is not my moment. This is what the fans want to hear.

This because I thought it was exceptional with. And that's not just saying because you weren't speaking, and that's always nice when you're not speaking. But um, do you think that that's something you've learned over time? Cause I thought it was an unbelievable call by you. Yeah, I think it is.

Some who'd never, even maybe heard of Ted Williams and others who may may have seen him play are there at Fenway. And he sticks his straight arm out with his cap, like, I am, I am, I am emphatically tipping my cap to you the fans. I remember our producer Mike Weissman telling me in my ear when we had come back from commercial, We're back. And I couldn't talk. Uh, I, I couldn't get anything out.

I think that point I'm thinking of my own life and growing up in the game. And my dad was getting on in years. And the beauty of this moment. And it was I couldn't choke, I was crying in, in, in.

I literally, I had, I had tears in my eyes and I was like, I have not. What am I going to say? That's better than what we're seeing. There's that and all I'm going to do is cut out the crowd. So why would you do that?

And and I think so, there have been times in my career, and that's 20 plus years ago, there are times in my career where you realize, unless you're just ego filled and a moron or insecure. Because you feel like if you don't talk, everybody's at home going. I just got to know what to say, he's, he stinks. And and so I I think there've been times where you realize silence is the most powerful tool. You have to let the natural sounds come over. A television. Which, uh, you know, I think I've been pretty respectful of over the years with baseball and football, but but that that was one of those. It's like all this hype of Aikman and Buck are going to ESPN and oh, who cares?

Oh, it's going to change Monday night football. No, it's not, it's the same. And then the first thing you do is you don't talk, yeah.

That's that was kind of the weird uh thing bouncing through my big brain, but it was incredible. Big head, small brain, it is really, uh, like.

But the beauty of that is, if you don't talk after, you say the you know, fill in the blank. The Chicago White Sox are world champions. Now. You can hear the natural sound on those cameras, with the microphones that are on the cameras that are going right into the celebration on the field. And you can hear those guys acting like little kids, like they just want a little League World series. That, to me, is just as powerful as a crowd, either booing or going crazy because of some, uh, some awesome moment.

So I'm, I'm true, I'm anti AI when it comes to that sort of thing. Good way to take a stand, me too, yeah.

You mentioned, you mentioned Monday night football year two have you? How long have you and Scott van Pelt hated each other?

I'd text him stuff that I saw on his show. And so now I always look forward to the after the game little catch up with Scott, cause he's funny and smart and so whatever he. I didn't even know where we were, I think we were in Indianapolis, maybe.

And he asked me a question, then Troy a question, Troy another question. And I said something like being a smart ass, like, Well, I'm only getting one question or whatever. And he gave it back to me. And the fact that that became a thing is so funny to both of us that we came really close the next week. Just blowing it up and making it absurd, like some awful feud. He I, he, I love Scott.

So that that whole thing was absolute, that I see it on Instagram, yeah, when it would come through my feed, like, Oh, this is, this is a war. I want to watch Scott Van Pelt against Joe, but nobody wants to see that, nobody cares.

It's junk.

Scott side, Yeah, you weren't Scott side, yeah.

Yeah, Troy Aikman Joe, nobody wants to hear your thoughts about football. Yeah, push, come to shove, it's got side.

Just so you.

And you know, he's going to break it down. Most of the time. I honestly feel like I shouldn't even be there, like, I'm willing to wait, it's not. I need to get out of the booth five minutes earlier.

I'm willing to wait. Let Troy further analyze the game. Well, you don't need to hear from me. Uh, but you know, whatever they, it's, uh, that stuff's fun to me and I like. It just proves as if Brockmire didn't. Uh, how great of an actor I am.

Is it, is it that much?

I don't know, uh, but yeah, getting a feel for what's happening in the league on Sunday. And then being either the last word of that previous week on Monday night, or the first word on what's to come the rest of that week is is fun. It should lead and I think we'll be better this year. It should lead to more kind of 30,000 foot N.FL uh views about what's happening in the league, more than just, hey, second down and four, uh, here's another two yard run.

I think there's time in there to, uh, to actually do some stuff that.

Can you just say the Washington Commanders have won the Super Bowl just so I can hear that the Washington?

Um, I want to go back to something, you.

I don't know who any of them are, and I haven't been out that long. It's amazing how when you get off the train, it leaves you and you're standing at the station and it's gone and nobody cares. And the game moves on. And you know that, that.

It's a weird lesson to learn that way, but I it's the truth. It's passed me by. I'm, I'm, I'm off, I'm off the carousel here.

That guy was, uh, but I the national baseball stuff. I don't see how that ever comes around again. Like I said, it, just you're gone, you're done, you're, it's. It's beyond, I think, doing. And I got, you know, this got headlines, clickbait, crap in the New York Post. And when I said, You know, maybe someday if I did a handful of games for the Cardinals, or if we're living in Denver and the Rocky. Somebody was on a vacation and they said, Hey, will you come do? It might be fun, but I watch games now and I see umpires just as I'm watching on television. Making signals and pointing at their watch and all the stuff with the timing violation.

I have, I don't even know I. This was my life. And I don't even know what the hell they're signaling with with whatever they're doing. So I would have to do a lot of work to get back in the booth and call a baseball game. If somebody said, Hey, do two innings, I could do two innings, but I don't. I don't see it anytime soon, yes.

50 Go.

Yeah, so you might have to.

Boy, that boy, that base seems bigger than it used to from up here. What is it? what?

I love the big base.

We all wanted a bigger base, and then you can always make the bases bigger, too, you can't.

Yeah, did you watch the home run derby?

I That seems like a better use and it wouldn't wear these guys out as much as just how many can you hit in three minutes? These guys are just dragging by.

Yeah, does it change? Are you like?

Hmm, yeah, I I think, uh, well, we don't have an Atlanta game.

No, no, some people call him check down, Patty, check down.

They could have won the last four somehow, but yeah, okay, find a new one. He's the one guy you could do it for.

Has that happened to you before? Has any player ever been like, Hey, you're too hard on me? Uh, let's say the, uh, there's a there's a certain family. In the N.FL. We've had multiple generations and multiple, uh, family, multiple players in the same position, in the same generation. That that might've thought I was too harsh on on a member of the family.

The greasy is really the greasy it was all about.

Okay, Joe Buck doesn't like Chris Long. Joe Buck loves Chris Long. So you feel like it's the Van Pelt thing, you mess around and you have fun with somebody. But yeah, the the Manning family, uh, does not always thought that I, I.

I think, I, Yeah, I, I mentioned this when I was a.

And I think the question was, You know, what's it like with a younger brother in the NFL? And, uh? Peyton said, No, well, it's, it's not, it's not. It's not fun hearing Joe Buck say something harsh about your brother. Eli's like, Man, that doesn't feel like that was, uh, too coincidental, or, uh. But you know, time goes on. And and I think, you know, for those guys, and Peyton's been become a really good friend. And and Eli, I think, can tolerate me. Uh, to a certain degree, maybe not all the way, but I actually made it a point not to go too deep into this.

Cause it's not really that interesting. But back, uh, when the Super Bowl was, I think, last in New Orleans, it was the, uh, the Ravens 49ers Super Bowl. The Pat Summerall Award was going to, uh, the Mannings, and I think it was going to Archie Manning, but maybe all the Mannings and I. I was there in the city because I was stalking my now wife at the time, trying to make her love me. Uh, I went and made it a point at the hotel when they were honoring Archie and Peyton and Eli. I went to the event and I went to Olivia Manning and I said, Uh, Archie's wife, uh. I said, Look, I, I, I have this sense, or I've heard that you think I'm unfair?

And I just want you to know, it's never per, it's never personal. And I'm a parent myself, and I would be the same damn way if I thought anybody was picking on my kid. And, uh, I just want you to know that's not how I feel. I'm sorry that you feel that way.

And then it was like, the the pressure and the tension was over, and it was.

Uh, and and that, you know, you realize that these are people and they have feelings. And it's a good reminder every once in a while to just kind of check yourself, because, uh, you know, I would.

I get excited, I get excited about that. Do you have any games that are circled on the this year where you're already like, Man, I can't wait to be there.

So I think those are the two that stand out, but, uh, there there are a lot of really good games. I'm interested to see how good Green Bay is. I think that's the one like the Jordan love story, Uh, is is something that I can't wait to watch unfold. Because I was there for his start at Kansas City and that didn't go well, and then I was watching on. I guess it was a Sunday night when he came in and played really well in Mop up Duty. And I think it's such an unknown. But they seem to be so in his corner and such believers that I want to see it play out.

I w I want to see the passing of the torch to the next guy in Green Bay, and you know, I'm.

You're, you're, you don't. You're already. You already made a mistake. I can already see what you've made a mistake on how you got to go. Are you going sideways? No, and the zoom out.

The sideways and zoom out is the way you get it. Yeah, there you go.

Good hold on, I'll get closer, yeah.
