What is the significance of The Paul Feinbaum Show?
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Kennt ihr auch diesen einen Freund, der morgens einfach so ruckzuck aus dem Bett und danach aus dem Grinsen gar nicht mehr rauskommt? Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft. Wie kann man nur so... Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.
This is surreal though. The setup we have right now, I do feel like a caller on your show, which is... Well, you're a FaceTime caller. Yeah, I'm a first time long time. That is also true. I was thinking about how to explain you and your show to people in my life who don't already know the legend of your show, so to speak. And I realized that it's hard because I have to explain that I spend time with Paul Feinbaum early in the morning on MSNBC quite a bit.
CSPN's Paul Feinbaum, thank you so much. Good luck today. It's going to be rough. Pablo, so last night...
And then, Paul, you go off and you do a show that I would dare say is not exactly the same audience.
You're jealous? That's the bottom line. You're jealous. And Bama's coming back. Bama has not lost. The dynasty is not over. Do you hear me, counter? Bama's dynasty has just begun. Kiss my butt. Roll tide. Roll tide.
We don't have a lot of New York Times reading, NPR listening, Pablo Torre podcast aficionados.
My teacher came up and took everything from me because I was supposed to be doing my math sheet. I told her it's okay though because the tide just hired the boar and I smell a natty in 24. Roll damn tide, Paul. See you later, buddy.
But we have tapped into something, Pablo. We've tapped into the culture of America.
West Virginia is where Sabin is from, and they fought with the Union. Sabin is a Yankee.
I frankly think we found this audience before Donald Trump did.
You know, Paul, going from coast saving to coast to boar is like going to bed, buried to Beyonce and waking up with Whoopi Goldberg laying next to you, brother. Is this acceptable, Alabama fans? Is this Alabama football? Is this what we signed up for?
So, if you're already wondering here why the most popular and influential sports radio show in the entirety of the South, beloved by those voices we just played for you, happens to be a program called The Paul Feinbaum Show... I get the question. Paul is a bald 69-year-old Jewish guy who is not from Alabama, although he has lived in Alabama now for 45 years. And those same voices you heard have taken to comparing Paul's general look to Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, for instance, among other things. But the Paul Feinbaum Show, to be very clear, is a singular cultural institution. Und dieses Jahr, Tuscaloosa's first without Nick Saban, arguably the greatest college football coach who ever lived, there is no radio show that I would rather hear.
There was almost a sitcom done on this program. I was in D.C. about seven or eight years ago. I was on Kornheiser's show. Some guy heard it, who used to be the final EP for Cheers. Wir sind nach Hollywood gegangen mit diesem Konzept, 25, 30 Jahre her. Ich habe als Talkshow-Host aus New York angefangen, in Alabama. Meine Familie kommt aus New York. Ja, ja. Und alle vier Netzwerke haben sich darauf eingeladen. Wir haben den Jungen gefeuert, der mit der Idee kam. Wir sind nach Hollywood zurückgekehrt, das nächste Jahr, 2019. ABC hat den Sitcom gekauft. Jason Biggs, der die American Pie-Trilogie gedreht hat, hat sich eingeladen, mich zu spielen. Und es war in den frühen Phasen der Entwicklung.
Ich hatte bereits einen Vertrag geschlossen, einer der drei Exekutiven Produzenten zu sein.
Covid ist passiert. Und jetzt haben wir nur noch eine mentale Bildung, glaube ich, von einem jungen Paul Feinbaum, der eine Pie schickt. Und Sie sind willkommen dafür. Aber was ich heute herausfinden wollte, ist, wie Paul in diese Messe, so zu sprechen, in den ersten Moment.
