---

Introduction

In the second hour of "The Dan Patrick Show," host Dan Patrick delves into the recent developments surrounding NFL coaching changes, with a specific focus on Mike McCarthy's interview with the Chicago Bears. The episode features engaging discussions, personal anecdotes, and an insightful interview with Hall of Famer Jim Nantz.

Mike McCarthy and Chicago Bears Coaching Situation

Dan Patrick opens the hour by addressing the quiet period in NFL coaching openings, highlighting Mike McCarthy's recent interview with Chicago Today regarding the Bears' head coaching vacancy.

Dan Patrick [05:00]: "Quiet day so far for the NFL openings. Mike McCarthy is interviewing with Chicago Today."

Patrick scrutinizes McCarthy's transition from an offensive coordinator to a head coach, emphasizing the broader responsibilities that come with leading an entire team versus focusing solely on one aspect of the game.

Dan Patrick [06:00]: "Running a team is different than being a coordinator. You have CEO responsibilities... You have to take care of the offense and the defense, special teams, the owner, GM, the draft..."

He contrasts McCarthy's extensive experience—spanning over 11 seasons with consistent performance—with other notable coaches who have achieved hall-of-fame status, suggesting that while McCarthy has a commendable track record, his ultimate legacy is yet to be fully cemented.

Dan Patrick [07:00]: "Mike McCarthy has been in this job for a long time. He’s won at least 10 games in 11 seasons. That's a track record here. They’re all hall of famers... except for maybe Marty Schottenheimer."

Coaching Candidates: Rex Ryan vs. Aaron Glenn

Patrick and his co-hosts discuss the Bears' potential coaching hires, debating the suitability of Rex Ryan versus Aaron Glenn. Ryan’s entertainment value is considered, while Glenn’s proven success as Detroit’s coordinator is lauded as a more practical choice.

Dan Patrick [06:30]: "I would hire Rex Ryan if I’m the Jets... Maybe as a reality show. He would make it entertaining."

However, the consensus leans towards Aaron Glenn being the preferred candidate due to his effective coordination and ability to handle the multifaceted demands of a head coaching role.

Fan Poll Recap and Analysis

Transitioning to fan engagement, Patrick reviews the results of the hour two poll, which posed the question: "Being an NFL broadcaster and owner is a conflict of interest or no big deal right now?" An overwhelming 67% of listeners considered it a conflict of interest.

Dan Patrick [08:00]: "67% have that as a conflict of interest."

Another poll questioned which fan base would suffer more from losing the Super Bowl: the Buffalo Bills or the Detroit Lions, with the Bills' fans securing an 80% preference for their team.

Dan Patrick [08:30]: "Buffalo is running away with that one at 80%."

He further discusses Super Bowl odds, noting the Lions' long-awaited success juxtaposed with the Bills' potential for a first championship in decades.

Personal Anecdotes: Childhood Foods and Nostalgia

The show takes a lighter turn as Dan and co-hosts reminisce about childhood favorite foods they no longer enjoy, sparking humorous and relatable conversations.

Dan Patrick [09:59]: "I went to the supermarket and saw Nestle's Strawberry Quick. I hadn't had it in 40 years, but it tasted great."

Co-host [12:26]: "You could see through it. Scarred forever."

The discussion ranges from disdain for processed bologna sandwiches to nostalgic memories of overly sweet drinks like Hawaiian Punch, highlighting how tastes evolve over time.

Interview with Jim Nantz: Milestones and Legacy

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to an in-depth conversation with NFL Hall of Famer Jim Nantz, who recently called his 500th NFL game (including postseason). Nantz shares reflections on his illustrious career, touching upon iconic moments and the challenges of maintaining longevity in sports broadcasting.

Jim Nantz [26:11]: "April 12, 1992... when Fred Couples won the Masters. That was about legacy for him, and for me, hosting that moment was monumental."

He recounts the infamous power outage during a Super Bowl broadcast, illustrating the unpredictability and resilience required in live sports broadcasting.

Jim Nantz [32:41]: "We were knocked off the air. It took 35 minutes to restore everything, overshadowing a compelling game that was down to the wire."

Nantz also expresses admiration for fellow broadcasters like Al Michaels and discusses the significance of legacy in his career.

Jim Nantz [37:35]: "It's about legacy... being able to say that you've lived out your dream."

Tony Romo’s Perspective on Working for Free

The conversation extends to Tony Romo, who is invited to share his thoughts on working without compensation, mirroring Jim Nantz's sentiments about passion over payment.

Dan Patrick [37:33]: "Romo said that he would."

Tony Romo [37:44]: "I could provide for myself and about 37,000 other families. I think I would work for free."

Romo emphasizes that fulfilling a childhood dream and legacy are paramount motivations beyond financial incentives.

Reflections on Memorable Sports Moments

Jon Stewart and Dan Patrick reflect on some of the most memorable moments in sports broadcasting, highlighting the emotional weight and historical significance of certain events.

Jon Stewart [30:57]: "April 12, 1992... Fred Couples wins the Masters. It was incredible."

Jim Nantz [37:35]: "Legacy decisions...it's about being able to say that you've lived out your dream."

These reflections underscore the deep connection sports broadcasters have with the events they cover, often marking personal and professional milestones.

Conclusion

Dan Patrick wraps up the episode by reinforcing the theme of legacy and personal achievement in the realm of sports broadcasting. The conversation leaves listeners with a profound appreciation for the dedication and passion that drive successful careers in sports media.

Thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around the country. Quiet day so far for the NFL openings. Mike McCarthy is interviewing with Chicago Today. I know that that's not a sexy name, but I have to look at the resume of the coach coming in. I know we can go, hey, Ben Johnson would be great. Okay, you think he would be great as an offensive coordinator? He has been great. He's done a wonderful job with Detroit. Running a team is different than being a coordinator. In fact, you have to have sort of CEO responsibilities, capabilities. I don't know if Ben Johnson is that kind of guy, but as a coordinator, he's been wonderful. We've seen this happen where somebody gets promoted and you're like, all right, this is your opportunity. Now you got to run a team. Now you got to take care of the offense and the defense, special teams, the owner, gm, the draft, all of this stuff. Whereas before, when you're a coordinator, you're just like, all right, let me go into my, my lab here. And all of a sudden I just prep this. This is all I got to do. Got to make sure Jared Goff is ready to go with the game plan, and that's it. I'll leave the press conferences to dan Campbell. Mike McCarthy has been in this job for a long time. And as I mentioned, you know, I think it's 11 seasons where he's won at least 10 games. That's a track record here. Now, you might say, all right, he had good quarterbacks. He should have won more in Green Bay. He didn't win the big games in. I. I know there's negatives all around with. Mike got a Super Bowl. Yeah, the only one. One Super Bowl. If I look at the list, as I did yesterday, the coaches who were on that list of those who have won at least 10 games in at least 11 seasons, he's up there. They're all hall of Famers. You know, Shulan Belichick did it 20 times. You know, Tom Landry's on there. You know, there's great coaches on there. I think all of them, except for maybe Marty Schottenheimer, are not hall of Famers. I think that's the list that we saw yesterday. So the Bears. And once again, I want to bring in. Now the Bears are bringing in too many people. Like, they probably have a hard time keeping track of, you know, that guy's coming in and that guy's leaving you. Imagine if you show up in the parking lot and you're like, hey, how are you? Hey, Mike, how are you?

[Peter Schrager]

How'd it go in there?

[Dan Patrick]

I think pretty well. A.P. carroll. Hey, Mike McCarthy. Hey, good to see you. Good luck. But they have to wait for Ben Johnson and I. I mean, the Jet situation as well. Aaron Glenn, is he going to get that job? I was told that Rex Ryan is not getting that job. Rex. Rex keeps talking trash.

[Peter Schrager]

That is a huge mistake.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. I know.

[Peter Schrager]

Huge mistake.

[Dan Patrick]

I. I would. I would hire Rex Ryan if I'm the Jets. I would just. Purely for the entertainment value of this. I. I would. I don't know if the jets would be any better, but damn, would they be entertaining. And he would embrace the entertainment like Robert Sala was trying to like. Give me your phones here. Somebody's leaking this information here. Rex would be like, yeah, you know what? Come on in here. All my coaches and employees. We're going to go around the room and see who's leaking information. I can make it a tv, a reality show. Have fun with it. Let's go. At least make it entertaining. The product on the field isn't. Rex would make it entertaining. Yes, yes.

[Peter Schrager]

And he recently said he looked forward to beating up on Coach Rabel twice a year. That was just a matter of days ago.

[Dan Patrick]

I know. He said beating up on his team not on Mike Brable, which was a great clarification on, on his part. Huge mistake. Yeah. Rex wants the job. Like, I don't know how many coaches want that situation there. Rex is like, hey, I want it. I want to go after these guys. Well, let's go hire me. But I think Aaron Glenn is probably the guy who gets that job and he's done a great job in Detroit. Once again, you're a great coordinator. Now all of a sudden you gotta, I mean, you're dealing with all kinds of things, things that you never thought you'd be thinking of or have to, you know, deal with. And you do because you're the head coach of a team. 8773 DP show. We'll get to your phone calls coming up. Let's recap. Hour one's poll question. Seaton. And then what are we gonna go with an hour two? We got a couple up there.

[Peter Schrager]

Tom B. Tom Brady. Being an NFL broadcaster and owner is a conflict of interest or no big deal right now. 67% have that as a conflict of interest. We also have up there which fan base would suffer more if they lost the Super Bowl, The Buffalo Bills or the Detroit Lions? Bill's running away with that one at 80%.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, massive. I did think that though. I mean, I don't like thinking that way, but I did think that if, and I'm looking at the draftkings odds of the best super bowl matchups and the, the favorite right now is the Chiefs Lions, which is obvious. Then followed by the Chiefs, Eagles, Ravens, Lions and then it's the Bills and the Lions. And if you were saying I could pick a Super bowl matchup, I would say the Bills and the lines because one fan base is going to get a Super bowl win. And I know that the Lions, they haven't really done anything, haven't been competitive but like the Cubs and the Indians, the Cleveland Indians, they, somebody was going to win. Long suffering somebody was going to win. And the Chicago Cubs got their win. Cleveland is still looking for for it. But if you're going to have that matchup, you know, as an innocent bystander, that would be the one that I think would be wonderful. All right, poll question for hour two is going to be watched.

[Peter Schrager]

Yeah, we actually put up there too something that's kind of funny. What food or drink from your childhood would you absolutely not drink now? And then we also have what's the one that you would drink currently or eat? It is a ton, a ton of responses, but nothing really. It's all A million different things. Fluffernutter is coming up a lot as something people absolutely would eat or something people absolutely would not eat.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's do. Would not. Because I brought this up, that I went to the shopping supermarket, and I walked down the aisle, and I saw the Nestle's Strawberry Quick. And I said to my wife, I think I want that. And she goes, why? I said, I don't know. Haven't had 40 years. Yes. I said, I don't know. But I. I'm gonna have it. Got up this morning, and I had a glass, put it in the milk, stirred it around, and I said, you know what? I'm gonna have another glass today. I'm feeling crazy. My wife goes, okay, so I got strawberry quick, and I haven't had it in 40 years. It didn't taste that good. It tasted that great. So tomorrow even more Nestle's Quick strawberry. Is there something that you used to drink that there's no way you would drink now when you were growing up? Like, I would say Mountain Dew. Like, I. I remember, you know, you're just basically pouring cavities down your throat there. It's like, oh, this is awesome.

[Peter Schrager]

You got to get past.

[Dan Patrick]

You beat me.

[Peter Schrager]

So what? It's bright green, and you could use it as a lantern at night. It doesn't matter if it closed in the door.

[Dan Patrick]

You could use it for antifreeze. But I remember Mountain Dew. And they're like, yeah. And then you'd be wired. Yes. Paulie.

[Peter Schrager]

I would say, when I was a kid, you had the same thing, Dan, in your lunch, going to school. The plain bologna sandwich. One slice of bologna. If someone offered me a bologna sandwich. Not good. Like, cooked bologna, but that processed stuff, I would completely pass.

[Dan Patrick]

I can't eat baloney sandwiches now. Like, you could pile it on, and I don't want it. It's like meatloaf. Went to a restaurant last night with my wife. No. And it had meatloaf. And I. My wife goes, I'm gonna get the meatloaf. And. And I said, good, because I won't. I'm scarred from my childhood with meatloaf. Can't do it. Can't do it. Seaton, you got something, man.

[Peter Schrager]

I love meatloaf. Did then do. To this day. And if it was a fried bologna sandwich, I would crush too.

[Dan Patrick]

Easy, easy. Yeah, but okay. I've said this before. I swear on my mother's life. I could hold up the slice of baloney that was on my sandwich when I was going to school. You could see through it. It's not funny, Todd.

[Peter Schrager]

I'm sorry to hear Child of Pain was so hungry by 1pm it's terrible. You should have got two slices at least.

[Dan Patrick]

I, I. You got a, you know, slice of American cheese. You got mustard. My mom would put water in the ketchup bottle and swirl it around to make it go long, like a bartender.

[Peter Schrager]

Watering down the drink bottles.

[Dan Patrick]

It just. It was not good. My parents, God love them, they rest in peace. They did their best. But there are just certain things where that slice of bologna was not a slice. It was like a sliver of baloney, but you could see through it. Scarred forever. Marvin, you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth, so you probably had anything you wanted.

[Peter Schrager]

Relative to the people in my neighborhood.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, for sure. I was like sugar water. Move, peasants, move. Hawaiian punch. You can't drink it now.

[Peter Schrager]

I can't. I got type 10 diabetes as a kid.

[Dan Patrick]

No, thank you.

[Peter Schrager]

Type 10? I didn't know there's 10 types.

[Dan Patrick]

If there are, Fritzi's had it too.

[Peter Schrager]

And I think mine stopped at like 4. Hawaiian Punch. I had that a few months ago.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's not good.

[Peter Schrager]

Fruit juicy red. How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?

[Dan Patrick]

No, I remember going to a fraternity party and they had Hawaiian Punch and grain alcohol for the kids. You can. You can imagine how that ended up. Yes, Marvin. There's another thing I won't drink. So I don't know if you guys remember. There used to be just be a.

[Peter Schrager]

Gallon of this thing called Drink, and it was literally just sugar water and food coloring. So you just get a big gallon.

[Dan Patrick]

Of, like, we would call it ghetto.

[Peter Schrager]

Juice, and it would just be like, oh, purple. It just be a big gallon of just sugar water and food coloring.

[Jon Stewart]

And that's all it was.

[Dan Patrick]

Drink.

[Peter Schrager]

It was.

[Jon Stewart]

Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, get that big red bottle to drink. Okay, Mom, Grab it.

[Peter Schrager]

And it was only like 99 cents, and you get what you pay for.

[Dan Patrick]

So was. It was like a less glamorized Kool Aid.

[Peter Schrager]

Yes. It was a poor version of Kool Aid.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Called Drink. Yeah.

[Peter Schrager]

It had no label on it, no nothing.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't even know if there was a brand. It was contraband, right?

[Peter Schrager]

It was almost like the.

[Dan Patrick]

The imitation Frosted Flakes with Terry the Tiger.

[Peter Schrager]

Terry the Tiger. He's down on his luck. Brother Terry.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Peter Schrager]

Handling Terry the Tiger.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh. Welcome to hour two on this Wednesday. We'll talk to Jim Nance. He'll join us. Coming up, Curtis in Illinois. Hi, Curtis. What do you have for me today?

[Jon Stewart]

Morning, Dp. I've got some Gannett related rhyme times for you. And since I don't really know how to make fun of Seaton, I'll start off with the softball on him. But leg muscle.

[Dan Patrick]

Seaton's best attribute. Calf laugh.

[Jon Stewart]

Ding.

[Dan Patrick]

Ding.

[Jon Stewart]

Fuzzy vision.

[Dan Patrick]

Todd's speech. Blurry. Slurry.

[Jon Stewart]

Blurred. Slurred.

[Dan Patrick]

Nailed it.

[Peter Schrager]

Guys are killing it.

[Dan Patrick]

Young deer. Marvin's dad. Young dear. Marvin's dad. Buck. Sucks. Fawn. Gone. Gone. Too soon. Todd. Job title.

[Jon Stewart]

And Todd's prom date.

[Peter Schrager]

Booker, Hooker.

[Dan Patrick]

[Peter Schrager]

Bread. Dead.

[Dan Patrick]

Nailed it. Too soon. Thank you, Curtis.

[Peter Schrager]

Clever slash morbid. I don't know where we go with that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Peter Schrager]

Bread Dead. I don't pay for. I don't pay for women anymore. By the way, just to wanted to.

[Dan Patrick]

Clarify, you took one to lunch, right?

[Peter Schrager]

I took a dancer to lunch. Adult film star. You became an adult film star After I took her out to a very expensive sushi lunch.

[Dan Patrick]

Sushi.

[Peter Schrager]

I met her at some. At a bachelor party where she was very occupied by other men. And I was, you know, just kind of watching a lot of things I'd never thought I'd ever see in my lifetime. But I ended up chatting it up with naked women. Naked women was a very expensive lunch in Santa Monica. And then all of a sudden, she got a pager and she had to go meet somebody in a hotel.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you imagine that Todd is. You know, he's striking up a conversation with her at a bachelor party? So how long did it take you to get here? What do you drive? What kind of gas mileage you got? Yes, Marvin.

[Peter Schrager]

Did Fritzi go with the regular? You don't have to live like this anymore. I can take you away from here. Give up your dreams to be a veterinarian. You can go back to school, figure something out.

[Dan Patrick]

They're always. They're always going to med school. Always. Always. Why is it my doctors never look like these dancers? They. They all went to med school. I never see them.

[Peter Schrager]

I was going to be a cpa, and now I'm on the poll. I don't get it how this happened to me.

[Dan Patrick]

But you could see Todd going. I could take you away from this life. I could give you a better life. Here, take my hand. Hold on. I'm being called. I have a. A porno scene to shoot.

[Jon Stewart]

Be right back.

[Dan Patrick]

I'd sit at the restaurant waiting for hours. I. I'll have another Mountain Dew, please.

[Jon Stewart]

Now you wish you could pull off my short shorts, Virkie.

It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest. It was a little pink.

[Jon Stewart]

There was something sentimental when you, when you send it. It was like, do I send the heart Now?

[Peter Schrager]

I don't like the color edition.

[Jon Stewart]

It's extra, extremely pink.

[Jon Stewart]

Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.

[Dan Patrick]

He'll be on the call. Ravens, Bills with Tony Romo coming up in the AFC Divisional Playoff game kickoff at 6:30 Eastern on CBS. Hello, friend, how are you?

[Jon Stewart]

Hello, friend. Listen, forget about 500. I'm excited about 501. All that fanfare behind me. Thankfully, it's been a dream journey to this point and they get better every week. Buffalo hosting Baltimore. This week it's 501. I can't wait to get there and I'm as always tickled to be on with you leading up to it.

[Dan Patrick]

More to gain in your opinion, Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson in this game.

[Jon Stewart]

And you're going to be talking individual accolades here. And I can tell you that knowing both of them well enough to know this is all about trying to get to the super bowl for them. So if you say Josh has more to gain, it's only through the lens of getting to a Super bowl for him. You know, he's, he's going to be happy with whatever it takes to get there and try to return that franchise for the first time in 30 some odd years. But then you got, Lamar's had his best year ever doing just jaw dropping things as well, but he wants to get to a Super Bowl. So that's a tough question to answer because they both feel like this is the year. And I could give you a pretty compelling argument why I think either one of them are very capable of winning the super bowl this year.

[Dan Patrick]

What was it like? Who was Jim Nance, game number one of the 500?

[Jon Stewart]

It was Vinnie Testaverde and the Tampa Bay Bucks at Chris Chandler and the Indianapolis Colts. The great Pat Hayden was with me on the call. It was October of 1988. I was the studio host for our college football's scoreboard show back in those days, the Prudential College Football Report. I worked in the studio in New York on Saturday, parachuted in for the game on Sunday, doing all my production meetings and, and, and all of that research by phone. So I didn't have the full treatment, as you will on most occasions getting ready for a game. The night that I flew in after hosting the studio show was the night that Kirk Gibson hit the home run in the World Series. And remember, you remember the Jack Buck call on the home run? I can't believe what I just saw. I can't believe what I just saw. Well, last week was number 500. As I look back at the scope of it all and the good fortune I've had to be at so many big games in my career, I could truly say, just like it was uttered that very first weekend for me, I can't believe what I just saw.

[Dan Patrick]

When's the last time you had announcer envy?

[Jon Stewart]

I mean, all the time. You know me well enough to know that maybe I'll look at things differently. I admire so many people in our industry. I know it's a competitive business. I've never felt like it from, from, from that viewpoint. I admire so many people that I hear and listen to. I was watching TGL last night listening to Matt Berry calling golf. I knew he's a golf guy. I don't know Matt really. Barely at all But I was admiring what a good job he did. You know, it's a tough situation there in a made up environment with golf and into a simulator. But it's all the time. You know, my deep respect for those that came before me and you know that like the elder statesman for me now is, is, is Al Michaels. And you know, listening to Al do a game last week, I just love hearing his cadence, his voice. He's been such a magnificent friend in my life, someone to look up to and still a kick every time I talk to him, which is frequently. But the other thing that was brought to light last week on the 500, Dan, was that and CBS has this history with the league where the original network partner of the NFL and go back to the 50s. Think Alan Amici, think of that, that game and Giants and the Baltimore Colts. And that was, you know, Chris Schenkel back then. But you look at people that actually called games play by play at CBS at some point in their careers. Includes Al Michaels. Al started it. Bob Costas was a play by play announcer for a year or two before he went to NBC. But summer all Lundquist in Bird those last 10 years of his career. Kurt Gowdy ended his career at cbs. This is a dangerous game, by the way, because you start going through all the Jim McKay did games for CBS on the NFL. Jack Whitaker, of course, Ray Scott, Frank Gifford, I mean it is a, you know, Dick Stockton. People don't realize he called the second most NFL games of all time, had a great hall of Fame career. Frank Gleber, again, a name that's forgotten, but he was a long time number two behind Pat. I felt a little bit of, I felt connected to them. Last week. I was the first to reach 500 games play by play. Now it was surprising. Somebody did the research on it. Pat Summerall did 700 games in his career. Some of them were at Fox, most of them were at cbs, but some of them were as an analyst when we were young kids. So his play by play numbers at CBS never reached 500. And I just felt honored to take the torch and try to run with it and set a new mark. And then you know what? I had enough of it. It's been discussed. I'm honored and flattered to be given the chance. And I'm ready to go do 501 this week, 502 next week and put the fanfare behind me and go watch some great games.

[Dan Patrick]

Is there an emergency plan? I don't want to jinx you guys. An emergency plan. If you're not able to do the.

[Jon Stewart]

Game at the Super Bowl. There is. I've never seen an emergency plan put in place in advance of that. But we're worry warts, those of us who make our living with our voices. And, you know, when I work as many weeks in a year as I have for 37 years, I was working close to 48 weeks a year between college basketball, the NFL, and golf. So, of course you're going to have your battles along the way with a cold or the flu. And how are you going to get through it? You know, worry yourself about being around anyone who is sick. My. My little boy. You know, I have a young son, Jameson. He had the sniffles last night. He said he had a sore throat. I mean, it's just I had all the guardrails up still trying to interact, put him to bed, say his prayers, sing a nighttime song. And I thankfully felt better this morning, but I started to do the math on it. Two days from now, I could have whatever he's starting to come down with. And I'm going to go into this weekend compromise, but we. We do. We do find a way to survive it. Anything that's, you know, short of laryngitis, we're. We're pretty much going to tough it out. I could hear in Troy Aikman's voice the other night, I could hear something was going on with him. There was a hoarseness that I know he wasn't 100%.

[Dan Patrick]

He's Jim Nance, the Hall of Famer. He'll be on the call 501. Don't bring up 500 to him. It's the Ravens and the Bills. The AFC divisional playoffs. Go back to the last time the super bowl was in New Orleans. And when you first got an inkling that there was an issue with the power outage.

[Jon Stewart]

It did. I gotta give it to you, brother. You come up with the best questions. Just no one. No one like you. So obviously I'm not ready for that answer if I wanted to really give it a thought. But it's this easy, okay, I was there with Phil Sims. It was like 9:38 to go in the third quarter. The Ravens had the football at roughly their own 43 yard line. And there was a Flacco handoff, and there was a run up the middle. And all of a sudden, all my monitors went this black, complete dark. And in my headset, I can't hear me finishing the call. I was in the middle of a call, so I just thought there was a power surge in the booth. But you know, right after that, of course, in a millisecond, you realize the lights are out, the whole thing's coming down, the whole broadcast is probably off the air. I mean, it took. You had to do some quick processing about what was happening. So I have no link to the truck. I can't hear from the producers. I don't have any visual cues. We're all in the dark, figuratively and literally. But my cell phone was working, so I called Lance Barrow, our producer in the truck. That was a dumb thing to do because he was just as, I'm sure he was more in the center of the storm than I was. But he didn't pick up. But I was trying to just, hey, what's going on? And then I thought, let me call Melissa. You guys all know Melissa. She's been my chief of staff for quarter of a century. And I called her cell phone and said, what in the world is happening right now? And she explained that we were knocked off the air. You know, you had all kinds of really not so good thoughts at that point. This is 2013. You know, you're wondering if, is it a terrorist attack? You hate to even say it, but you don't know what it is. And as you know, it took 35 minutes before everything was restored. And that overshadowed really what was a compelling game right down to the wire. People forget San Francisco had four plays inside the 10 yard line in the last minute to try to win the game. Four incompletions, Kaepernick on three of them to Michael Crabtree, all defended and incomplete. It was a game that was in the 30s. It was a one score game and no one remembers that. All they remember is the night the lights went out in New Orleans.

[Dan Patrick]

I also remember Steve Tasker being pressed into service as sort of the guy on duty. He was like the night night watchman. And his microphone was working and he kind of was hosting the Super Bowl.

[Jon Stewart]

We could not find. Well, first off, the. The studio show is in one of those collapsible sets that takes four or five minutes to. To get it standing. And JB and all the crew were hurriedly getting into place, but you were looking for someone to be able to be on Mike and to help carry the moment. And Phil and I had no line of communication. We're still out. And Steve, Steve filled in brilliantly.

[Dan Patrick]

You got paid for a full game though, didn't you?

[Jon Stewart]

You know, I should go back and look at it, but can I tell you a secret? Honestly, I would pay to do the Game. That's the dirty little secret. I could say it now. I've got a long term contract. You know what? I've always been forthright about it. I would do all of this for free.

[Dan Patrick]

Romo said that he would.

[Jon Stewart]

I mean, as long as I could have a house and be able to provide for my kids and everything. It's never what it's about. It's about. Well, partly it's about fulfilling the. A big part of it. Fulfilling the childhood dream to be a voice. Not to be the story, but to be the story tower and be able to attend these events. And, you know, it's. It's all. It's all a gift. It's about legacy, too, Dan. It. That's why when I look at happening sometimes in sport, let's take what's going on in golf and some have left the PGA Tour. I'm not going to get deeply into all that, but you have to make a legacy decision at some point. You know, you've been blessed enough to be given the chance and you probably made a few bucks along the way. What is it really about for you? Well, it's about being able to say that you've lived out your dream and this is what you did. It's about legacy. And that's how I feel about it now that I'm reaching these certain milestones. They come a little bit more frequently with longevity, that's for sure, these days.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's go to Tony Romo, get his thoughts. Tony, Jim says that he would work for free. How about you? Would you work for free?

[Peter Schrager]

Well, I mean, Tony, I've certainly made enough money all this time, so, yeah, I think I could provide for myself and about 37,000 other families. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I would.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Tony.

[Jon Stewart]

It's great to get Tony engaged in the show right now. He's my guy.

[Dan Patrick]

I love it. Now, if Romo can't do it, Seaton, I think could be his understudy.

[Peter Schrager]

I don't know.

[Jon Stewart]

What are they gonna do? You want to run it here?

[Peter Schrager]

You want to pass it?

[Jon Stewart]

What would you do? Jim, why don't you make way up to Buffalo? Have you in the bullpen?

[Dan Patrick]

My guy.

[Peter Schrager]

I'd love it.

[Dan Patrick]

I'd love it. If you look back, though, can you extract one moment that that would stand alone over everything else that you've done? When you speak a legacy, One moment, whether it's football, basketball, or golf.

[Jon Stewart]

That'S. You're talking about one event, one game call or one thing that I had the. Well, the Most special thing of all will always be April 12, 1992. Nothing can over top that for me. Well, there is one thing, I'll get to that maybe in a second here, but that was when my old dorm suite mate at the University of Houston, Fred Couples, won the Masters. We used to have these crazy dreams that one day he was going to win the Masters. That was, that was all about legacy for him. That was his life goal. And of course by this time, first day I show up on campus, I make the declaration that one day I want to work for cbs. Like that's going to happen. Fortunately it did. Blessedly it did for me. But his dream was to win the Masters. My dream was to one day broadcast the Masters. And I also wanted to broadcast for CBS because I love the way they presented the NFL. Raised on a heavy diet of, let's say, Summerall in Brookshire, Summerall and Madden. So in our dorm room, you know the story, Dan. Not every day, but on a couple of occasions, along with Blaine McAllister, our great roommate who had a spectacular career, won five times on the tour himself, we used to practice the green jacket ceremony. Just kids make believe, dreaming, just imagining something, opening up your mind what that moment could be like. And I'm sitting there in a Dorm Room, Room 101, TOB Hall Tau B. It's now been raised. But there we are, Fred sitting across from me and we're doing an imaginary interview. He's just won the Masters and I'm hosting the presentation. So in 1992 that actually happened. Except we weren't in dorm room, we were in Butler cabin and the world was watching. So how do you beat that? There's only one way that that could ever be bettered for me and that is that's when my son Jameson wins the Masters and he comes in the Butler cabin and I say, hello son and goodbye friends. That will be it. That's the last show.

[Dan Patrick]

Not that's a walk off, but I.

[Jon Stewart]

Mean that's how outrageous it would have to be to better that moment for me. But other than that, listen, last year's super bowl, you know, went three seconds shy of five full quarters. The most watched television show in the history of American television.

[Peter Schrager]

By a lot.

[Jon Stewart]

Not by like 1%, by 12%. 203 million Americans watched at one time. Normally I don't even care about that. But now that we have, we're walking around with the belt, the championship belt, I'm making believe here now. It was a great game. The broadcast, thankfully for our production team, it won the Emmy. So proud of the. The thousand people that presented that that day. And in all those years of doing the NCAA tournament, there are just too many to isolate. And back at that little place in Augusta, Georgia. Tiger, 1997. A win for the ages. Fast forward to 2019. This scene plays out again. The return to glory. And Tiger is walking off the green and he's hugging Charlie, his son. It's a perfect. In perfect symmetry with the scene we had seen 22 years before when Tiger walked off the green, breaking all the records in the history of Augusta. Youngest champion. Largest margin of victory. The 72 hole scoring record. Youngest ever. And there was Earl, his dad. If you GPS it, I would say that it happened on the exact same spot. Earl hug Tiger. 22 years later, Tiger hugs Charlie. It went from a father to a son, and now the son's the father and he's having the same moment with his son. If you're in the storytelling business, it's about as rich as it gets, about as high drama as it gets. You know, thankfully we're on in camera because, you know, there are shedding of a few silent tears along the way as all that's happening. If you have a heartbeat, you realize the gravity of that moment.

[Dan Patrick]

Great to reminisce.

[Jon Stewart]

I love reminiscing with you. You know, I'm wearing something here. I just. I know they've got a lot going on out there, but this is Bel Air Country Club's shield. Okay? And Al. Al's a part of that. I've been fortunate to be a part of that club for a long time as a member. We have a lot of our families out there that have lost their homes. It's, it's, it's a lot. It's. There are many, many unfortunately lived in the Palisades. And what's going on in L. A? I don't want the story to just. We get numb to things like this. These are families. These are people lives. But they. 26 is the death toll now. And I'm just, as I said, signing off on Sunday from Buffalo after the Buffalo Denver game. La, we're thinking of you. We're praying for you. And really tough times. We're out here talking fun and games. That's real life. And people's whole entire lives have been uprooted. Life savings, you know, starting from scratch in the middle of their lives and maybe later in their. In their business careers, whatever. It's all gone. And it's not just a. Because it's three days and we're tired of the story. Let's move on to something else. It's real. And I'm just thinking of all my. My families out there that I know, many of whom you. You would know, Dan, and it's just indescribable.

[Dan Patrick]

Have fun this weekend. Thanks for joining us, as always.

[Jon Stewart]

I'm coming to see you this summer, by the way.

[Dan Patrick]

You are.

[Jon Stewart]

I'm going to knock on your door up there.

[Jon Stewart]

[Dan Patrick]

Well, this is Maine.

[Jon Stewart]

That's what I'm talking about. I'm coming to Maine this summer.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Well, it's. It's not Butler's cabin, it's Danny's cabin. But we, we'd love to have you. That's awesome.

[Jon Stewart]

I don't need to be on the air if you need an emergency, you talk about emergency. Fill in. If maybe a guest doesn't show up, I'll pop on for five minutes, but I'd like to see the studio. But better than that, I'd like to go out and have a lunch with you afterwards. So I'll find you.

[Dan Patrick]

Sounds great. Thank you.

[Jon Stewart]

[Peter Schrager]

And my gift to you is a free subscription to the I am Rappaport Stereo podcast, where I discuss entertainment, sports, politics, and anything and everything that catches my attention. I am here to call it, as I said, and there's a whole lot of things catching my eyes these days. Here's a clip from one of my favorite episodes. You are not a real fighter. You will never be discussed anywhere in boxing history, ever. Fake Paul. The movie is the Apprentice, and the movie is about young Donald Trump and his apprentice. Roy Cohen. Real character, obviously, both real characters. It kind of has a Scarface vibe to it, which I thought was very interesting. Listen to the I am Rapaport stereo podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, and wherever you get your podcast.

[Dan Patrick]

I was gonna do are you in or out?

[Peter Schrager]

Great.

[Jon Stewart]

Can't wait, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

But I'm. I'm gonna push it to the top of the hour. Wow. I think we need a little more breathing room for in or out, so.

[Peter Schrager]

I should take it as a compliment.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, yes, that top of the hour will do. Are you in or out? Like, give us a for instance, just to let that audience know at the top of the hour, you're going to want to stay with us.

[Peter Schrager]

Okay, I'll give you one.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Peter Schrager]

Mike McCarthy is closer to a Super bowl today than he was a week ago.

[Dan Patrick]

Todd, are you in or out?

[Peter Schrager]

In.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, he's eating. He's teamless, though.

[Peter Schrager]

That's all right.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Peter Schrager]

I'm extremely out.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin. I'm out. I'm going to be out. Because he's not in. He doesn't have a team. But I would say he's out of the situation.

[Peter Schrager]

That felt like a Groundhog Day.

[Dan Patrick]

But he had a better chance of winning a Super bowl with the Cowboys than not coaching a team currently in the NFL.

[Peter Schrager]

That's a valid point. Technically correct. I looked it up. If you not coaching a team, you cannot win the Super Bowl. He probably has a better chance winning the super bowl in Dallas than he does of any of the remaining teams that are looking for coaches I don't know if it is. I don't know if you plug him into Jacksonville.

[Dan Patrick]

Like, whoa.

[Peter Schrager]

Super bowl contender, question mark. Probably not.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, more of that coming up. Top of the hour it is. Are you in or are you out? Rapid Radios, the official walkie talkie. The DP Show, Instant Push to Talk, offering national LTE coverage.

Same thing, but as the adult version. If you ever try Tequila Rose, it's.

[Dan Patrick]

Like a strawberry quick but for adults. So you would enjoy that a little better. Thank you. I don't need alcohol in my strawberry quick. Right. I just have alcohol. I don't need to have. Dress it up with strawberry quick.

[Peter Schrager]

Yes, Paul, Tequila Rose is a strawberry cream tequila drink.
