our joe is known for his talented insight on a.b.c.'s p.n. and his play by play commentary pushchair that are the color. on monday night football he also hosts the a.b.c. show holy moley alongside rob rego and steph curry it's in its 2nd season on n.b.c. joey what shake and how you do it dennis thanks for having me on man it's it's nice to get to know you this with think i said hello to you had a conor mcgregor fight about half a year ago and this is a very nice invitation to receive for you ben i'm good man yeah we sites other ringside then you mean it was it was so funny i remember like braiding walked in and it might benefit from the matrix or something everybody in the entire arena was just like. that and then he started they're going to mark the owner who was the raiders and i thought there's the coolest haircut in the worst haircut on the planet. are. truly true or you're so funny because that was you know 'd

there you sit there and big you said a kind of a greater fight ringside like mcconaughey strolling in i'm like you know 6 foot 9 tyson fury strolling in like baker mayfield was an afterthought because brady and or davis i think are about a week's worth of sports headlines alone just the fact that they sat next to each other. well baker better get that quarterback rating up around 90 years are going to be had an afterthought in cleveland so pretty soon hello and i as i said we shared an experience on monday night football i tell you it was the crew's all but i always dug it because to me. in know people always say well what's life i thought you know there's real life troubles and then there's me in the master meant but no doubt football is just circus maximus you come to tad everybody's got an opinion but i dug it what are your memories of a jeff on there was an i just got ousted from the show so you and i have been

a small little fraternity regular haven't manes not had a fun 2 years i had a fun couple years doing it you know i remember jason witten saying and saying to me when we were about halfway through you're number one he goes man i just played n.f.l. for 15 years for the dallas cowboys basically i'm trying time every week there is a new ridiculous scrutiny quite like monday night football and i know there's a very small group of us that understand that and i'm with you dan it's like i just sat back enjoyed the ride you work hard you have gone your honor to be in that booth that iconic booth. but i put things in perspective broke like my mom came here in a boat and couldn't speak english my grandfather had 9 dollars like you know we've had you know i come from skin back to the new york like we've overcome a lot more life we've had hardships you've had this if you can't laugh along and enjoy the passion tensity of calling monday night football and forget what the twitter verse says or what the critics say you know something's wrong so i love

football to no end i love what i do for a living i can't believe that now you know we're having a successful right doing extreme mini golf that's that's been fun but i'm with you at the same mindset if i reflect on my money my football years. well get the show is called holy moly it's got regal and steph curry who can stuff must play dough at 3 handicapper somebody he's got ratings golfer we'll get to that a 2nd it's on his 2nd season an a.b.c. moment to talk a little about how joe listen to get hired to do the booth on monday night football that is a long search this trip to get there and you have to hit the ball hard i guess you started out of boston college who was flying in the rock back then was a glen folly was he there for you was. going had a great ride there in that you know that last year was and i had left and then he had one more year of eligibility he was really good friend of mine and that was the

year they upset number one notre dame when notre dame it just beat florida state and they had the miraculous last minute comeback with that helicopter of a field goal cover of sports illustrated so those were a fun last couple years there with coach corfu and on those that was a pretty good b.c. team that year. but yeah that was going fully back then of course then went on to the n.f.l. i'm sure his knee with the jets when he thought he was going to have a long road there is a starter. i love coffee and he sent me honestly that i interviewed confluence when i was doing monday night football and a couple weeks later i get an autographed picture from it says dennis thanks for cutting through all the bullshit. i still. working on that i didn't even notice for a producer who is so funny to a sometimes those buttoned down guys joe i don't know when you had coaches meetings like bela check was funny these guys don't want to open up at the podium because then they have to open up every week you know they go to that reluctantly they're

just football coaches i think guys who are under par cells like bella check in conflict then everyone know this sort of game so they just go out and they are monotone and they are flat 9 and they give you the least they can because they know the week they go out and they try to be charming or funny it's every week so i learned something in my 2 years there about coaches that you can't judge a book by its cover. yeah and coffins got a great heart you know i miss is a guy that still to this day runs that jay finds down in jacksonville florida with you know the efforts with the children's cancer research research and i agree with you you know it's funny you hang with bella check and you talk anything other than football he's a great dude if you remember her 2 years ago getting caught in about a half an hour conversation with him on squash and you know a couple coaches we knew from the new england boarding school 'd scene and how he

would could apply squash strategy to his n.f.l. philosophy you talk music with the guy you talk across with the guy he's a wonderful hank just don't talk an awful football because just do that which. tests are and let's talk a little bit about holy moly it's a we're going to say that i think supersize golf it's like the opposite of miniature golf i think it's massive eyes and 2 i love regel tell me about regen steph curry tell me about the show 1st you know what he were arming the show is like it's dennis you know it's one of those shows it's really hard to put into a box and you know thank god we got through year one where you sort of find your advantage the a bit and i think the producers do as well you know the one thing you can't fake is really when somebody's really make show laugh and wriggle makes me break legacy and i just find and be so smart and so funny and then you put them in that setting where we didn't know what we were in store for you know i've i've i host another

a.b.c. prime competitive show a few years ago the remake well the network stars and you get into those kind of shows and you know you step off the ledge a little bit you see how far you can push it and we realize night one 0 no we can push this thing like this thing's an alternate universe like this thing is so out of it's mind absurd like we're going to take over a ranch in super size mini golf and make extrusion mini golf and. then you get into this willy wonka wonderland that you get to step into were where it's part anchorman part competition show part reality and we went all the way in and you know i don't know about you but i grew up really appreciating the classic straight man comedy like i grew up on abbott and costello on sunday mornings like you know new york sunday morning the old abbott and costello waking up to that and they said to me hate try to do your job the way you would and i apologize for being all

suited up here by minute call a flight from vegas tonight on e.s.p.n. trying to do your job the way you would if you were ringside calling a championship fight or if you get radio a major bowl game or monday night football some like our right man i'll do that so i prepped that way i prepped to play golf like it was the masters and then we got on the set and i realize all right man this thing you know wriggles going to take this an anchorman direction white school ron ron burgundy coming out and it was showing easy just that t. him up in that direction let him hit homer after homer and now this year i think we gone down the rabbit hole even more mortgage you know sillier ins and stupider and just laughing are off nonstop so thankfully people enjoy it and we'll see how long of a ride we can take here. listen anytime you get to a 2nd season and anything than that's all you can do in showbiz receive push it down the hill what one stage at a time so you get picked up for the 2nd shows great congrats i sense sometimes

honest to god when it goes to you the energy is so professional i almost sense that regel is about the laughing that you're able to keep it so yeah they're in a you know it's a funny energy if he goes to you and you're trying to score too it gets miss bessie that's right racquetball when he was x. it and your wall saw it it makes me laugh so hard but i appreciate you saying that coming from you because you know you're one of my all time favorites and have been for many many years i just appreciate your vibe your style and your ability to make people laugh and make smart humor you know we think we've got a little bit of that but she's still good with the nuance deal like so i'm trying to you know we're coming on a 2 shot and i'm welcoming everybody back to holy moley but the presentation of the content that i have to deliver up introducing these holes and he can just give me one little glance at this and he knows i see it too he knows i see it is going to ruin me but you know like this year they've done things this year now dennis where

they must have been sitting back just parting right these producers center at what is the one thing a.b.c. will absolutely not approve i know let's have a space themed whole 'd titled your anus and every 2nd tests or has a talk he's got to talk about putting up your anus and the pressure around your anus and it all comes down to your anus and of course miller on night number one of filming your anus ball gets stuck in the shoe and wriggles got to describe the. i couldn't i mean this is this is where it went this is where it went. now the 3rd guy died 10 and then the tree out of his staff car a. 3 tell staff that if they should a commercial for this they had to have him near the craft service table crushing up a dixie cup and trying to drop it in trash can a 3 constantly misses that would be the funniest commercial to me if he just keeps clanging it off the river current can play that he's

a serious golfer rags who comes in with a little bit expertise yeah he's he's a really good you know scratch golfer i mean you know he's one of these guys that we all grew up with that guy who it didn't matter what we're doing he was going to win i don't care if you're playing pop a shot or like air hockey in the basement or ping pong you're playing varsity basketball or football he was a guy's going to win that steph curry you know you're one were filming the thing dennis and you know he gets out there he gets out there with a pitching wedge issues playing around and it's just chip after chip going over the water onto a green like he's autopilot and you know and then you sit there and you realize why he's so good from the free throw line but. you know the one thing i appreciate about about steph is he's not just showing up to put his name on it. cares about the show like really invested really cares about a puts in the time so you know he's been great to be with. well these guys have all

seen like irvin moves on and all of a sudden irvin's close to a billionaire magic you are on he wants to do it now you can see steph when you had that brand there i know folks when you're making $3540000000.00 a year you think well that's my top pot it's like buzz aldrin what i went to when i get back from the moon but the fact is with that brand the international brand of an n.b.a. player if they use their head they can open up even a bigger treasure trove apper a career so i can see you know the cats are smart enough to do that that's why cares you've got to get your name out there that you care as much about your show as you do about your stroke we're talking to joe testa to our the show is holy moley he hosts it with rob riggle and steph curry it's in its 2nd season on a.b.c. before we go to the break joe where do they see what's what unit i think you started in near season's underway already right where you know we had our time we started mid may and we were in the 9 o'clock slot come down to 8 o'clock on

thursday as an a.b.c. and you know knock on wood things have been really solid with the ratings and demos so we're going to take this thing right through end of august with it without championship which are 12 champions that are going to somebody is going to have to make a push for a quarter 1000000 dollars that's the finale. well anytime your handicap drops from 9 date in a few weeks the show's been on the air you're heading in the right direction with a golf show will be right back on show was wonderful world of golf. when i was a kid joe testa to our right after this we'll talk some more sports dennis miller plus what.

we're saying to. my social class low skill class people also in poverty 1st. if you're born into a poor family if you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die now they stick to one years old a good morning to generational poverty. it's a tough fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. that's right we've entered a global depression still a longer recession to get the recession. or depression this will last a few years young. welcome

back to dennis miller plus one we're joined by joe test a great guy you know him from monday night football he also hosts a show on a.b.c. called holy moley with rob riggle and stuff gary fun goal show it's in his 2nd season on a.b.c. cokie keep your eye out for joe and talk a little bit about football you know a lot of funny feeling i know they caught a break time wise here but. i don't think the film back i just have a funny feeling that i just don't see how it works when these cases arising not granted the death council are and these are healthy young guys i'd probably push them chips in and go with it but i think goodell's in the same hood business i don't know that there is going to be a season at this point what do you think i think that's a fair assessment i think my answer would have been different 4 weeks ago i think my answer is very different if you're assessing major college football compared to the n.f.l. my son plays for boston college so he plays you know a.c.c. football and so that's

a situation we monitor every day and i think it's listen money is on the other side of this cease all right dennis and we all know that we all know you know what the end goal is here and why everybody wants to play and how critical it is both on the t.v. side is on the university side it is on the n.f.l. owner side. i don't think things are track in the right direction you know i've been in this studio here in e.s.p.n. for this going to week 5 now of doing remote broadcasting flights from vegas where they've created this coded safety bubble at the m.g.m. grand we're leaders come in the support staff comes in peace tested you say on one single floor they get you to a boxing ring we put life lights on e.s.p.n. and there has not been a show in those are the strictest standards procedures protocols you could have done a series not been one single show that hasn't been disrupted where there's not a positive test that this person so that person and then with the contact tracing about gets eliminated will in football if everybody on

a friday afternoon for college or a saturday morning for the n.f.l. if everybody gets their sums up or thumbs down before they get on the team bus to go to the team hotel and it often civili human test positive will now the contact racing eliminates that entire offensive line so you're not just going to have removed one fight we move everything up on the on the m.m.a. order of the or the boxing douchy to order it's going to be we cancel a game so i think you're going to have a season even if they do attempt to play it that's constant pick ups constant interruption and on the college level i don't think it's tracking well at all right now and on the n.f.l. level i think they're going to see some of the difficulties when they get everybody together. but the way joe's son is a kicker for boston college like father like son i guess and stevie. shelfs ya ya ya good just good memory my friend as yes as the antecedent or turns out to be a rock cat there and being told. yeah they think that was meant for me to take care

of her in college yes steve came out of the stands he was a soccer player my son is on his right now a full time punter up there which means that for most of the corn team dennis i was dragged out to his old high school field and i had a under against snap about 100 times a day so i was facing down my shoulder and some very very good sports trivia to drop a a stevie a out of the stands for b.c. . well i have his opinion if he was the pink and your son's the punter i missed the drop that i buried the lead there but at least i did a little research on who's been good you know so i. just start joe when you get out i guess sports you know i talked i worked with a great al michaels and you know it even been a whole raw you know along with get out in summer you know these guys are that sure rushmore quite frankly but even when he gets out he's got to go out to the islands and call baseball you know i mean to. tell me about your circuitous route you know i went you know i had a i had a horrible football injury and there was there was

a good brother who was a mentor of mine in the life and you know 3 reconstructive surgeries a whole deal size meant ask you know taken off the field ambulance and he took me by the back of the neck and he said you should go into public speaking i wasn't that kind of shit i just was and it was the best thing that ever happened to me and it allowed me to gain some confidence in speaking and stay attached to the sport that i love so that turned into doing college radio but i was in the school management you know everybody i went to school with boston college has gone on to great careers in finance and. remember actually being in the back of professor keyes class with chris o'donnell so chris o'donnell and i were sitting in the back of class prep we were listening up as we didn't go into business. so internships college radio internships a little t.v. tax a s in dallas texas was a huge opportunity for me i was able to go drive down there during spring breaks

and summer breaks and worn the business and that typical local t.v. deal you know weekends anchoring and weekday reporting. and at an early age an opportunity come down sick connecticut and work for what was then the powerhouse c.b.s. local news i was on the air remember gayle king was the news anchor to my left and did the sports at 2324 years old and. spent. a few good years there doing the hartford whalers and yukon basketball in the 6 11 o'clock news and you know it's an e.s.p.n. backyard so 2001 got a phone call from e.s.p.n. started doing live events in winter of 2002 and have a look back. we're talking to joe tessa tar and his t.v. show right now with rob riggle and steph curry is on a.b.c. holy moley fun golf game cube huge course even i could it even i could putt like brad faxon on this course and that's in a 2nd we were not an a.b.c.

i think the 1st time you came on my radar jealous i remember i dug s.e.c. football so i remember why a show with you in teams and find it was sort of a that's the 1st time i clocked you and i thought of this catch shark tell me but i'm a huge fat lie here as it were but those were interesting years from timmy when when timmy retired we have we have the same broadcast agent and i got a phone call and it was just before all burmese get right play for the state met national championship and they said tim is ready to make the move to t.v. and they got us together and it was basically all right let's teach him t.v. as quickly as we can and he's such a naturally such a great communicator and you know he's such a natural. and his football i choose obviously off the charts so we threw him in we threw him into the fire i remember for that game at the rose bowl and then that whole offseason we spent a lot of time together and it was when the s.e.c.

network was started and they wanted it to be the signature show their answer it's game day so you know we're really proud of the work we did with s.e.c. nation but you know you sit there with a fine bomb on one end of the same set and then you sit there with tivo on the other and in s.c.c. country and it's almost like having good and evil on your shoulders dennis right would find surround i mean he's stirring every pot there is in the c.c. and then everybody's kneeling down to tim who's you know walking day down there but i love s.c.c. football i mean i have a listen i roll saying let's here here's my deal in life. i like passion and intensity i don't care what it is i don't care if i'm sitting there you know with a master 6 hilo so moliere if he's passionate intense about what he's dismissing everything in the f.c.c. is about passion intensity and you know that slogan they have it just means what it does it means more it in almost all of these states that football team is their

identity so when you're sitting there on saturday afternoon or saturday night and you can feel 800000 people under your feet shaking you broadcast differently you just do so now i love sitting ringside for the fights as you know you've seen me there i love broadcasting title fights i love my years i grew up as a railbird at the search of a racetrack i love the intensity of horse racing putting on the line gambling on the ponies and i love s.c.c. football that's just how i'm wired you got to get yourself to it now let me and you and i share that matt he loves the bonis you member when you going to do a green bay game on monday night and they'd keep you out of the plays that at a casino where you could watch the phoneys race at albion i would say that was when i knew we were at some place that had o.t.b. parlor because during the drive usually go to one i would hear from out of nowhere we have is. there watching hialeah. he always does not have to go in but

it's i honestly dennis i swear it's how i've learned math as a kid was because you're calculating odds at the track with all my inveterate uncles who are dragging me to o.t.b. and then railbirds up at saratoga and you know trips down the belmont i can remember my son's a really good kid he's good kill me for putting this out there but i can remember he musta been in 2nd grade 3rd grade and we were turned back to school and the day before was the hopeful states for 2 year olds up at saratoga i want to get one more day at the track and it comes back and it was you know the parents are in there and it's what did everybody do on your summer vacation. and he comes out with something like i hammered this 6 in the 7th i got i'm a late double with a chalk and it's like i want to have fun out here when i'm at it you can't you've got to you can. have this teachers look at me like one are you what kind of father are you and i'm some thinking of you know the father of a son who's going to be pretty good at fractions my baby the tile appt right there

will receive. certain times the air around the center of the universe that it's as good as a good little river going to get us into our on the show he's got is called the holy moly it's rob riggle stuff curry gull show fun 2nd season on a.b.c. look for joe when we said you were coming on we got a lot of social media questions mind of querrey you on a few of these that yes. john straus asked do you think social messaging will benefit the n.b.a. in the mid long term i don't like that as well your thoughts joe. you know i think i don't have an i don't have a strong appetite for any of it to be honest with you dennis. i can understand where people get turned off i can understand we're where a lot of people step into these potholes and twist and turn and there's damage done if you look through maestro szell media feed which has huge gaps i'm an activity and i know about celebrating people i'm all about you know i'll promote some of the

stuff i'm doing if i think it's pretty good but i just don't step a lot of these places and i also think and one of the things i marvel with and maybe it's generational and i want to be the curmudgeon but i didn't grow up thinking that everybody music here my opinion on it or everything i just need i just they're going to know nor do i nor do i feel welcome and he's you know we're doing going out of my life. yeah me growing up my favorite form of short short form communication was johnny most for the celtics one day the big bang would corner up and hit the detroit at all jody most had reduced a 2. bagger. now slater no burger cigarette doesn't fall in lighters pants on fire. good to talk to you joe joe tests are folks give a show watch over there with regel steph curry holy molly it's 8 o'clock what night
