Speaker 1: What is ruining the future of our young people? Television?
Speaker 1: Tory Champagne, choice us right now, director, filmmaker, friend of Gary,
Speaker 1: ESPN Superstar. What's going on? Tory?
Speaker 2: What a segue? Ruiner of education? I hope really as
Speaker 2: a filmmaker and director, we're trying to enlighten people. Hopefully
Speaker 2: that's the conversation to bring to the table.
Speaker 1: I love TV, I love streaming whatever it is, and
Speaker 1: I just think I just talked about an hour about
Speaker 1: how we need to support our teachers and how our
Speaker 1: kids have to be smarter and so forth. And I
Speaker 1: just have this memory of my dad saying, are you
Speaker 1: are you watching a damn boob tube again?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I am, and I love every minute of it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about some cool shows that are
Speaker 1: going on right now. And I can't. I can't wrap
Speaker 1: my hand my head around this one. Actually, Rob, can
Speaker 1: we roll that? Do we have this?
Speaker 3: Lets?
Speaker 1: Can we roll the seventh Spike? Let's do that, mister Scout.
Speaker 4: I know you're still weighing whether to return to Newman
Speaker 4: That the mark I've come to the happy Hello?
Speaker 2: Is anyone there is the born on Marcus macrit.
Speaker 1: I'm just too dumb to understand. Can you explain you
Speaker 1: love the show? Can you explain it to me?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, I think, you know, I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: I think we talked before. You know.
Speaker 2: It's it's a you know, sad with the passing of
Speaker 2: David Lynch, you know, an American icon and filmmaking who
Speaker 2: was kind of known for his surrealism and as noir
Speaker 2: and everything else. So it's kind of a fitting thing
Speaker 2: with the return of The Severance on Apple Plus kind
Speaker 2: of coming back for a second season tomorrow. Now, the
Speaker 2: show's been on hiatus for three years and when it
Speaker 2: came out, uh is you know it was written by
Speaker 2: a relatively unknown and almost literally unknown guy named Dan Erickson,
Speaker 2: and he had sent it into Ben Stiller's company, and
Speaker 2: Ben Stiller loved it and decided to direct it. Now
Speaker 2: that the series itself, what I love about it the most,
Speaker 2: and kind of talking about different eras of television, is
Speaker 2: it kind of harkens back to the era of Lost
Speaker 2: in a show that ABC debuted, and it was something
Speaker 2: that everybody could understand, being trapped on a desert island,
Speaker 2: but it got progressively weirder and stranger and more mysterious
Speaker 2: and Severns has a very similar thing, but it's kind
Speaker 2: of told through the lens of what it's like to
Speaker 2: be trapped at work or in your daily life. And
Speaker 2: the premise of the series is there's a company called
Speaker 2: lumin Industries where to get a job there you have
Speaker 2: to sever and have a procedure where they basically you
Speaker 2: can only live your life and work and when you're
Speaker 2: at work, everything happens at work, and when you leave,
Speaker 2: you're going to live your regular life, but you're kind
Speaker 2: of trapped inside work and trapped on the outside and
Speaker 2: the two can never connect, so this procedure, so it's
Speaker 2: really it's this really interesting look at the split or
Speaker 2: the kind of human existence inside the workplace versus your
Speaker 2: regular life and how those two can affect each other
Speaker 2: without even kind of realizing it. And the series does
Speaker 2: a really great job, kind of in the David Lynch
Speaker 2: vein of feeling very twin Peaks and then you know again,
Speaker 2: Adam Scott is.
Speaker 3: The main actor.
Speaker 2: There's a great cast, and there's a lot of hype
Speaker 2: leading into the second season for Apple.
Speaker 1: Explain to me why that's a bad thing.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing, you know, I think
Speaker 2: it's a good thing for streaming, and I think it's
Speaker 2: a good thing that, you know, much like Stranger Things
Speaker 2: has done for Netflix, where it's this must see kind
Speaker 2: of television experience and a streaming platform where you know,
Speaker 2: there is this long window as you're waiting and anticipating.
Speaker 2: So they kind of have stumbled upon something in streaming
Speaker 2: that I think it's the anticipation of a film. Like
Speaker 2: you wait for a summer blockbuster, you're kind of waiting
Speaker 2: for your you know, blockbuster series to come back. So
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, the hiatus, So I don't know
Speaker 2: exactly the reason why three years, but I do think
Speaker 2: it actually, maybe intentionally or unintentionally helped with people rewatching
Speaker 2: the series. It gave a longer window for people to
Speaker 2: kind of pick up on it because when it came out,
Speaker 2: it was it was heralded for being great and won awards,
Speaker 2: but the general public didn't pick up on it. In
Speaker 2: mass it kind of kept growing and growing growing, So again,
Speaker 2: it's it's really interesting to see a series that has
Speaker 2: that kind of Twin Peaks vibe or that lost vibe
Speaker 2: that is more of an adult kind of serious dark drama,
Speaker 2: kind of dark comedy kind of take the forefront and Apple,
Speaker 2: who has a smaller footprint in the streaming space. You know,
Speaker 2: they really have kind of stumbled onto maybe their thing
Speaker 2: that's gonna that's really going to open up the aperture
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's their bear, you know, like the bear. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but no, I should have been more clear. Why is
Speaker 1: it a bad thing that if I go home, I
Speaker 1: don't remember work, or I've found that work I don't
Speaker 1: remember home. I mean, I understand what you're saying. I
Speaker 1: get the premise. It's in a little creepy, but I
Speaker 1: would be much more effective at work if I wasn't
Speaker 1: getting emails or phone calls from home, and I would
Speaker 1: be much more happier at home if I didn't no
Speaker 1: work existed.
Speaker 2: Right, So I think the interesting thing in the kind
Speaker 2: of the duality that they show is like, that's the
Speaker 2: great thing about the series is in theory, that sounds great,
Speaker 2: But what you experience as you're watching it and you're
Speaker 2: watching this character go through this is they're kind of ostracized,
Speaker 2: like on the outside world for being people that are
Speaker 2: doing something kind of unethical, you know, and they can't
Speaker 2: tell you anything about work because they can't remember it,
Speaker 2: so they're kind of their outside life kind.
Speaker 3: Of becomes drained. And then at.
Speaker 2: Work every day, every day you kind of wake up
Speaker 2: and you're there. So once you get there from the
Speaker 2: outside world, you're inside world. You never really sleep, you're
Speaker 2: always just awake at work, so your work life just
Speaker 2: never ends, and you're outside life never ends. It's just
Speaker 2: you're never sleeping, you're always kind of awake.
Speaker 1: And he's two spacey people. People know that's your job.
Speaker 1: So other people are living a normal life and they
Speaker 1: know you're fed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. It's like, why why would
Speaker 2: you why would you choose to have a procedure where
Speaker 2: you can't remember who you are once you go in
Speaker 2: that place, and uh, and that's kind of the interesting thing.
Speaker 2: But again, I don't want to be the spoiler guy
Speaker 2: on your show. I just encourage people to watch it.
Speaker 2: It's really fascinates, really well done.
Speaker 1: You know, well, did you see the pop up they did?
Speaker 1: And I get was it? It was in was it
Speaker 1: in New York? Where they had a pop up. They
Speaker 1: had a big glass enclosure of the office, you know,
Speaker 1: the office where they all say up the computers and
Speaker 1: Ben Stiller was videotaping with his phone the actors doing
Speaker 1: a scene within the glass.
Speaker 3: Yes, I did see it, and it's funny.
Speaker 2: It's it's actually something I was talking about with some
Speaker 2: of the producers on my team today. It was just like,
Speaker 2: what a brilliant marketing thing. As they're filming for season three,
Speaker 2: you know, their marketing return to office, right, Like that's
Speaker 2: the big thing. Everybody's returning to the office so this season.
Speaker 2: And then additionally, the thing that's really brilliant that they
Speaker 2: also did. If you are a fan of the show
Speaker 2: or if you're getting trying to understand the show, it's
Speaker 2: you know, the show has a lot of Easter eggs
Speaker 2: again that.
Speaker 3: Lost kind of crossover.
Speaker 2: They put out a podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam
Speaker 2: Scott reviewing the first season.
Speaker 3: And giving you kind of explaining the Easter eggs. So
Speaker 3: it's like they really kind of found.
Speaker 2: The formula, I think, And I think that's what's really
Speaker 2: impressing me about the show is something that's really, like
Speaker 2: I said, left of center, kind of hitting the mainstream.
Speaker 2: And then additionally, everybody that's behind it really buying in
Speaker 2: and doing everything to promote it this time. So it's
Speaker 2: a really interesting approach.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Adam Scott fan.
Speaker 2: I mean, who doesn't love him in Stepbrothers when he's
Speaker 2: the jerk brother.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, he's amazing.
Speaker 1: He's amazing, He's and I heard him on a podcast
Speaker 1: and the reason I I've always loved I love his word.
Speaker 1: I've always thought he has been great. But then I
Speaker 1: really became a fan when he said, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: stay inside and watch TV and eat snacks. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's my guy, and he goes, I don't really have
Speaker 1: any desire to go out and get sun or and
Speaker 1: I don't feel guilty about it. You know, everybody says
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful day. Yeah, I'm gonna watch a movie.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I am okay with that. Anything else.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to SNL coming up in the
Speaker 1: next segment, but anything else going on on your horizon
Speaker 1: as far as television.
Speaker 2: You know, for me at ESPN right now, you know,
Speaker 2: it's college football season. So you know, over at ESPN
Speaker 2: Original we have our Inside the College Football Playoff series
Speaker 2: that we're currently working on, and there's weekly episodes and
Speaker 2: you know, we're just all awaiting the National Championship Between
Speaker 2: OSU and Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: You know, we'll be.
Speaker 2: Filming there behind the scenes, and then I have another episode.
Speaker 2: The final episode drop next on the twenty fourth.
Speaker 1: So have you watched The louder Milk I'm not okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell people. Louder Milk is created by Bobby
Speaker 1: Moore and our friend Pete Fairley and our friend Bob Fairly.
Speaker 1: Bobby Fairley has directed some of the episodes. Oh, Netflix,
Speaker 1: and it was it was buried somehow on the Dish
Speaker 1: network when it first came out. It was I don't
Speaker 1: I don't understand how it wasn't seen. Okay, but it's
Speaker 1: really funny, it's really creative. Will Sasso's in it. Ron
Speaker 1: Livingston's in it. He's great as louder Milk. And what
Speaker 1: he plays is he plays a guy that's been sober
Speaker 1: for four years and he runs an AA meeting right
Speaker 1: now from a writer's perspective. And Jackie Flynn of Boston
Speaker 1: is in it. Oh my god, and there's another Boston comic.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got to look at his name. I
Speaker 1: looked him up the other day. I feel so bad
Speaker 1: that i've But anyways, h when you have number one
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Livingston fan, right, I just his deadpan
Speaker 1: and he's like he's just an angry, dry drunk and
Speaker 1: he used to be a rock critic. So you love
Speaker 1: it stright up your ally. But like from a content perspective,
Speaker 1: if you put a bunch of great character actors in
Speaker 1: an AA meeting, I mean, you can't fail. I mean
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean you just can't fail. I mean,
Speaker 1: and you get the fairlies writing it. I mean, god,
Speaker 1: you you just can't fail. The stuff that these guys
Speaker 1: say and the stuff that they talk about is like,
Speaker 1: I mean, they even and you know, they push the
Speaker 1: envelope and they're just you got to give it, give
Speaker 1: it a try. When you get done your college football season,
Speaker 1: you definitely you definitely have to give it a try.
Speaker 1: Also Brian Regan, Brian Reagan, Brian Regan, Brian Reagan, Boston Guy,
Speaker 1: and Jackie Flynn. So I wanted to give those guys
Speaker 1: a shout out. Discover it. It's on Netflix. All right.
Speaker 1: We got to talk about SNL, Tory Share Painters, our
Speaker 1: guests from the ESPN and also my television buddy that's
Speaker 1: next on WBC.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Raddy Mine from the Window World
Speaker 2: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Look, my name is Lauren Michael's on the Crucier Saturday Night.
Speaker 3: The whole night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole night, Chevy j skild A reader Dan,
Speaker 1: I got, how do you pronounce this?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 5: You know, I was thinking, why don't we punt?
Speaker 2: We should run the dress vessel and claw back and
Speaker 2: win next Saturday.
Speaker 1: We can't, Dick, it's a live show.
Speaker 3: We're just not ready.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that we're ready, it matters.
Speaker 2: That's eleven thirty, that's when we go on.
Speaker 1: That was terrific. I love it. Tory Champagne's joining us here. Tory,
Speaker 1: It's fog friend of Gary Loves TV works at ESPN.
Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing here. The Saturday Night Live movie,
Speaker 1: which I think it definitely helps if you're in television,
Speaker 1: because it was a little long, like if somebody's not
Speaker 1: in television, I could see or it could get a
Speaker 1: little monotonous.
Speaker 3: You Yeah, I mean, I think, I think, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: Working in the industry gives you a different perspective and
Speaker 2: appreciation for what the film is about.
Speaker 3: In kind of that moment, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: So Jason Rightman directed it, and the first thing I
Speaker 1: got a who's the guy I'm looking up his name
Speaker 1: from from Nicholas Braun plays Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman. Yeah, phenomenal.
Speaker 1: I mean he plays both guys to a t plays
Speaker 1: Coffin to a t h And I thought he was
Speaker 1: I thought he stole the show.
Speaker 3: I thought he was fantastic.
Speaker 2: I think the thing about this film that I actually
Speaker 2: loved Gary from a casting perspective is it's a bunch
Speaker 2: of relatively unknowns that are probably about to break in
Speaker 2: Hollywood and be part of the next generation. You know,
Speaker 2: You've got Cooper Hoffman, son of you know, you know,
Speaker 2: playing Dick Embersol, you have of Corey Michael Smith playing
Speaker 2: Chevy Chase, and then you have Gabriel LaBelle, who was
Speaker 2: in The Fableman's kind of taking the lead as Lord Michael's.
Speaker 2: And it was just kind of poetic that here's this
Speaker 2: young cast of up and coming new Hollywood stars playing
Speaker 2: a bunch of relatively unknowns that went on to be
Speaker 2: household names. So I thought it was just like a
Speaker 2: brilliant kind of choice to do it that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you mentioned Cooper Hoffin, Philip Seymour Hoffman's
Speaker 1: son the Late Yes, thank you, Yeah, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: no problem, And you can see the resemblance. But it
Speaker 1: was a terrific film and if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: it's worth it, at least if you're a TV junkies
Speaker 1: like us. It's the ninety minutes leading up to eleven thirty, right,
Speaker 1: and they do it in real time, and that's the
Speaker 1: way SNL is, I mean the way they they are
Speaker 1: flying by the seat of their pants. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: there was some creative license in there, you know, like
Speaker 1: founding Alan the writer, finding him last minute at the
Speaker 1: bar Allen's I believe, who was legendary and went on
Speaker 1: to write City Slickers with with Billy Crystal and so forth.
Speaker 1: There was definitely some creative license in there, but it
Speaker 1: was It was a great ride, like you said, and
Speaker 1: relatively and a bunch of unknowns as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you know, it's interesting, you know,
Speaker 2: for me, I kind of grew up with SNL, and
Speaker 2: then later in my career I had the opportunity to
Speaker 2: work with the Embersalls and continue to have have a
Speaker 2: great relationship with Willy Eversaw some of Dick Eversall so, uh,
Speaker 2: it was It was kind of a kick for me,
Speaker 2: you know, going into the film. It was kind of like,
Speaker 2: I knew obviously that was part of the storyline. I've
Speaker 2: heard the story from Dick personally about that night, and
Speaker 2: then I've obviously, you know, heard stories about it through Willie.
Speaker 2: But it was just it was kind of a cool
Speaker 2: moment to be able to text Willy and be like,
Speaker 2: I'm watching Cooper Hoffman play your's son, I mean, play
Speaker 2: play your dad on on this in this film. Uh
Speaker 2: and you know, how how how did they get it?
Speaker 2: You know, did they get it right? He was you know,
Speaker 2: he was very honest, and he was just kind of
Speaker 2: saying yeah, you know, like Dick was kind of the
Speaker 2: network executive that did believe while he had this other
Speaker 2: group of network executives trying to you know, destroy the
Speaker 2: show essentially that night in favor of Johnny Carson Getting's
Speaker 2: contract re upside. It kind of put Dick Eversol on
Speaker 2: the map as this executive producer type with NBC at
Speaker 2: that time and was just kind of stood by his
Speaker 2: guy through the chaos and more and Michael's being kind
Speaker 2: of delusionally, you know, confident in what he was doing
Speaker 2: to bring this late night show together. And that's what
Speaker 2: I loved about the film. To your point about the chaos,
Speaker 2: the energy, the pacing of the film, you really kind
Speaker 2: of get the experience of it's not always figured out
Speaker 2: in live TV, and sometimes the clock is your master,
Speaker 2: and that you're going to go live at some point
Speaker 2: and you're going to have to figure it out. And
Speaker 2: I thought, rightman did a really good job of kind
Speaker 2: of capturing that energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. You just gotta you get a letter
Speaker 1: rip because you don't have a choice. I also thought
Speaker 1: they did a great job paying tribute to Garrett Morris,
Speaker 1: I believe because he was sort of the lost cast member.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of obviously racial issues, and I
Speaker 1: thought they did they did a great job of bringing
Speaker 1: attention to his back. I didn't know he was Shakespeare
Speaker 1: and trained.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I didn't know that either, And I
Speaker 2: think to your point, you know, they highlight that in
Speaker 2: the film in a way in that scene that kind
Speaker 2: of leads up to, you know, kind of the famous
Speaker 2: moment that he has in the in the film, I
Speaker 2: mean in that first episode. But to your point, they
Speaker 2: really did and kind of showing this character that was
Speaker 2: kind of like, why am I here? I am this
Speaker 2: you know, trained actor amongst you know, this guy that's
Speaker 2: basically drunk on the floor and John Belushi and they
Speaker 2: can't control them in that juxtaposition of showing him for
Speaker 2: who he try really was and how he was able
Speaker 2: to kind of transcend in that moment and become part
Speaker 2: of it and really, you know, be kind of part
Speaker 2: of the catalyst that evening to kind of get everybody rallied.
Speaker 3: Together to be brave enough to go out there and
Speaker 3: just do the damn thing.
Speaker 1: So fifty the Saturday Night Live on Netflix. Did did
Speaker 1: you see any of the documentary? Because I think there's
Speaker 1: a four part documentary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a fourth part documentary and I believe
Speaker 2: Brightman directed that as well, so.
Speaker 1: Right, and it focuses on four different sections of the show,
Speaker 1: like four different Yeah, so that I gotta got to
Speaker 1: check that out too. I mean, and even you know,
Speaker 1: YouTube has definitely extended it. You know, Lord Michael said,
Speaker 1: our skits are perfect for YouTube because that's how my
Speaker 1: kids see it.
Speaker 2: I mean, take take the victory, lablare and you were
Speaker 2: ahead of your time by about fifty years and favorite, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, we had a chance to meet him, Norm Norm McDonald,
Speaker 1: you and I hung out with him a little bit.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite news anc because the guys right now,
Speaker 1: Jost and Chay are hilarious, but.
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, Norm's still your guy or I mean
Speaker 6: Norms just like the classic bravest kind of uh, you know,
Speaker 6: kind of comedian and yeah, and you and I had
Speaker 6: the opportunity to sit down with him and talk to him,
Speaker 6: and you know, I mean he kind of set the tone.
Speaker 2: I mean, Dennis Miller was obviously like the other other
Speaker 2: kind of iconic guy. But you know, over the years,
Speaker 2: I think that that is you know, it's kind of
Speaker 2: the the hallmark of the show, right, it's the center point,
Speaker 2: it's the halftime. And yeah, jose and Chay are great,
Speaker 2: but yeah, Norm's kind of probably the guy you know.
Speaker 1: Well well Norm and I mean in his writer too.
Speaker 1: I mean when they went after OJ, I mean it
Speaker 1: was and they didn't care. They got fired because of it.
Speaker 1: They he did not care. Yeah, Jim Downey, the legendary
Speaker 1: head writer, worked in that with Norman. But the thing
Speaker 1: about Joseph Chay is when they swapped they write each
Speaker 1: other's material. Yes, Oh my god, I mean and they
Speaker 1: can get away with I mean yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean they have a field. I mean, did you see
Speaker 1: the one where Joe wrote Chay's material about being a
Speaker 1: ditty's party?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think it just speaks
Speaker 2: to like the show's staying power and kind of the
Speaker 2: bravery of Lorne Michaels right like in the cast and
Speaker 2: understanding what they're doing right, Like they're having fun, they
Speaker 2: know that they're towing a line, they do it well,
Speaker 2: and like it's kind of why the show's stayed for
Speaker 2: all these years is they've they've they've kind of always
Speaker 2: been able to kind of zero in on the zeitgeist
Speaker 2: and say we're going all in on this, and it
Speaker 2: just kind of speaks to the power of why it
Speaker 2: stayed all these years.
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, Steved Framerham, dude, you're up with Tory Champagne.
Speaker 1: Make it quick, buddy, we got to roll what's on
Speaker 1: your mind?
Speaker 5: No, no, I just I'm enjoying the show and Gary
Speaker 5: always enjoyed you on TV. I was just going to
Speaker 5: say that I am looking forward to watching the documentary.
Speaker 5: I get Peacock and Prime video, but I don't want
Speaker 5: to get hooked on everything else. I was just going
Speaker 5: to say, I really enjoyed I had time during Christmas
Speaker 5: to some time off. I get to watch The Sticky
Speaker 5: on Prime, which was that that was really good.
Speaker 1: Oh and Margo Margot, she's awesome. What's your last name, Marco?
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but that was good.
Speaker 5: And then and then you were talking about like shows
Speaker 5: that you're really looking forward to. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 5: Reacher coming back in February. I really enjoyed that on Prime,
Speaker 5: you know, the Big Guy. Yes, and then uh, and
Speaker 5: the other thing I got to watch that was an
Speaker 5: older show from a few years ago. I'd heard about
Speaker 5: Daisy Jones and the six I'm a huge rock and
Speaker 5: roll fan, and that was basically, uh, similar to I
Speaker 5: guess the Fleetwood Mac story. And I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: Was any good? Is that worth a watch?
Speaker 3: I thought it really liked it. I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 3: liked it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean it's funny you brought that
Speaker 2: one up because it's one that kind of flew under
Speaker 2: the radar, and I thought it was really good. Again,
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a sucker for you know, that era
Speaker 2: of kind of entertainment. Anyways, but Uh, yeah, I'd recommend it.
Speaker 2: It's it's a it's a sleeper.
Speaker 1: Steve called Margot Martindale on the I got to give that.
Speaker 5: I was going to say to on On on Peacock.
Speaker 5: I got to watch David Jackal and I really like
Speaker 5: that one too.
Speaker 1: I got to give that one a world. Oh that's
Speaker 1: all right, thanks buddy, appreciate it, Thank you, you got it. Steve. Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm terrible with names. Dan the Jackal is Eddie Redmain,
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 1: Speaking of old bastards, mister Shaughnessy joined me. I can
Speaker 1: say that because he's a little older. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about Bob Uker passed away today, just a bit
Speaker 1: outside the great thing about you. Did you ever meet him, Torri?
Speaker 2: I did I have I I did get to meet
Speaker 2: him once a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: He was great. He was great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just kind of like Tommy Heins a
Speaker 1: little bit where there are like two generations that didn't
Speaker 1: know he actually played.
Speaker 3: An He's iconic, I mean major leagues iconic.
Speaker 2: He was iconic before that, but it's cemented them and
Speaker 2: everybody's mind.
Speaker 1: My favorite one. We're gonna play sound bites the miller
Speaker 1: like commercials where he goes must be in the front row.
Speaker 1: And then the old one, of course, is just a
Speaker 1: bit outside. I mean just a bit outside. There wasn't
Speaker 1: a little league game or any pick up baseball game
Speaker 1: where kids didn't say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've definitely uttered it and probably will
Speaker 2: a thousand more times, you know, over and watching sports.
Speaker 3: So there you go, watching that, Tory.
Speaker 1: What's coming up? What do we need to be on
Speaker 1: the lookout for ESPN Plus and all those different platforms
Speaker 1: you got?
