Neumy from China

Welcome back to Dennis and Callahan we of this twelve hour time difference yet Beijing the Boston. It allows us to pop with somebody of the stature you always knew Meyer you know her before happy hour really pick -- all of those great -- Terry as you hear from Brian Williams yes he's lips like him because he's good looking guys numerous -- smart guy with a good voice -- got its new will be behind us audience. Bob -- how are you my friend. Out shape now I'm not going to suggest that live -- every minute of every telecast that NBC is put on but I will say this I saw you interview the brawn and Colby on opening night. Started so I'll be if you've done everything else I haven't seen it so -- gloomy.

Well I thought it KE RB chick -- god being majority injuries. Yeah board which. This synchronized diving which is sport it's your debate about doing for four days but I just wrapped up today and then onto track and field which. Starts on Friday because the track which is my usual domain is the back after the Olympics and since they wanted to use me earlier in the they should what you -- judicial that's -- bedroom watched -- The Chinese. General through those bad competition as they have. Quite a -- more -- actually quite -- what he's just. What these -- out Chinese athletes are getting accomplished over here.

The -- I would have spot that was good planning and preparation by NBC your second coverage sport. After track and field would have been equestrian events did not make sense.

Well actually in the in worst case you questions. Are being held in won't cause. And there are actually if she does. Hundreds and hundreds of people are actually calling offense from. Thirty Rockefeller plaza in New York City and the questions one of them it's just one of those. Deals where abortions torched. Well it just makes sense for them economically or whatever to discover all the from the states and just get the good leadership in Serbia. The question it which. I would've loved to do -- actually torn on which is either not well lately and.

What is Beijing like what is are they watching you do feel like you're being watched did you get any good Chinese food is it is an enjoyable in your free time to have any fun.

Like Shoaib and watched what was look there's a lot of their cameras around them know we were like a kid really -- Water stopped and they told us about what you do and what not to do. I can tell you that this city is session ticket to New York City and multiplies terms about three before you get what Beijing assault body it is massive. 1718 million people. Majors you can drive for ever and ever every which way it's these massive range kind of surround. The downtown area and there are already sources say a lot of very very happy and our our interest insurance people others here that you. Show off their country and I think that's what's kind of questioning is just how. We -- just how proud they are all of their country -- probably our -- reached their at every event there. They're remote they're very polite they're very respectful to other countries such as United States but. Original -- history everybody smiling everybody's happy the streets -- Speaking to clean that that the district is sparkling. One of the big -- that they -- are spectacular. Imagine guys probably saw that -- at least somewhat part of the opening ceremonies which of course. We -- shot showed up very artistic gut. Artistic stretch as well educated -- something else had been in the there's no -- what the water quality center. You know the water Cuban in the gymnastics I mean it is just incredible. Facility they built here for these games in the open -- largest. They're enjoying every bit the.

Well to me it was pretty clear that the Chinese people were committed to putting their best foot forward will be learned that they. They they rounded up and got rid of both their mentally ill and their homeless. We thought it would be a party we might initiate here at the -- going to WEEI helped Mark -- little bit.

Well it's very it's it's it's an interesting question being. -- Westernized that it there's there's McDonald's and Starbucks and can't -- to go right on the line of course. You know market properties -- they're trying to get their foothold here and put their brand out there because of the obviously incredible volume of people who live in this country particularly in the big cities and there's. You know but but a tremendous support capitalism here there they have -- they have not just as. There's a lot of people in China that that are very very well in this a lot of people that are. They never ever porridge it's kind of interesting. The other kind of capitalist economic system -- you know what's going on with the government and and then Communist Party and things like -- are secure trusting kind of juxtaposition going on here but bridge. It's just looking appreciate -- looking at the people and everything it's just and they -- it couldn't be nicer guys until they treated us like golden. And the security stop the weather has been brutally hot those -- really good to. We left the toughest part hostages deal with the weather deal with the security even within the bad news and it doesn't matter. You know I have credentials and have. You know I have on -- and I have -- they have this and that is just you know. Where in the states you know you almost gave you walk from one section to another forget that I mean they'll stop you. Illegible and one day one interest the next day they won't what you're -- can't -- from section to section it's. It's huge bird Reggie analyzed and in the security is it is that time to kindergarten nervous but. VO and one Ortiz just got to kind of have to be in my own little -- that we're trying to.

You have a tank sitting outside their hotel room window.

No I don't I have a number of Jack jabs and a number of vehicles and get ready you know they're ready first ticket sort of -- restaurants in Beijing. Because believe believe me they beat. Between that the -- in the pro market and not the other millions of restaurants here they're dying person got there and spend our marketing dollars glued.

And me -- and -- we love KFC says -- Hafner and I know made do you think that Michael Phelps has kind of sucked all the oxygen out of the room as they say in politics is it the -- is this the Michael. -- Olympics or does someone else have a chance to step up -- steal some of the spotlight.

Inside George.

Or who else matters I don't care -- on the country's yeah.

Well -- the -- and it is such. An innocent and pretty darn good -- don't count themselves and being.

My name on Chinese -- name one Chinese star athlete.

over a 110 meter hurdle.

Oh -- what do -- to right field.

He won the gold medal and -- concerned. I don't know in particular -- which.

I heard him. Do you do you do you like Phelps is Phelps personable you guys you and you had --

I've never interviewed helps because it looked as swimming you know I think Big East. You know he's. Your Clippers got a lot of swimming and she says the guy's been very cooperative and very look at when you're gonna mean but some of the stuff they've done them. Believe me enjoy what we're what I take history you -- more Olympic denial because you know what you know. We don't happen BC here in the hotel nearly that. The the Chinese television version of the Olympics which use a completely diametrically opposed to what you see -- and -- Which is you know up up up package a lot of live stuff but kind of -- A very -- put together package of of highlights from that day here it's just. You know let's go to the first thing any this year from start the British bad -- start -- finished. Weightlifting start -- finished. It's just -- networks are above all the sports but the Summer Olympics and and Richie rich -- different where presenting an intelligent I really haven't seen that much. Other and you know what I they've almost just feel -- helps you know going over some of the -- isn't been watching. If from the IPC here in Beijing but you've probably had seen the leader not a lot more than I have.

Really now what are your homework is done and the track and field I believe starts on Friday give us and they were to look for that we will recognize and maybe not. Rise to the level the ascension that is Michael Phelps but when track and field they'll say well what a performance by a -- Illinois.

Well I would show that I mean there's a couple things number one would be you know pricing game a hundred meters. Bob. You know and in the in the trials ran into the sucker up respondent in the history of mankind it was gonna wind -- He'd he'd pulled a hamstring and he's going up against two really faster victims in this awful pollen -- ball both run sub ninety seven's. That's going to be awesome. The hundred meter hurdles Clement usually have China is of -- name's Darren -- Bledsoe Q well coached. Phenomenal then -- circle of the United States and David Oliver -- much easier. I would say. That 1500 meters but regardless gotten -- what -- can and our freshly minted US citizens of the golfer. The 1500 along with a 5000 running at double and he ran brilliantly -- Kenya and happened again now a US citizen. Very very terrific very well spoken and in my humble gentleman who's now a US citizen and I'd look for what got 1500 and the 5000. -- little -- well. We'll see how they do -- outlook got dust but -- what's track starts you know it's basically for the -- They're very strong you just say in the hundreds two hundreds of four by 100 relay four by 400 relay. German border who is our best 400 runner was shot merit coming -- the -- of very strong and so we'll see them. Beginning on Friday and I believe that the first featured a hundred meters off Friday with Tyson gay so that'll be so look forward to.

You think they're on drugs in with a B -- is there a looming drug scandal common.

Well I know they're being captured. You know. You know more severely than they ever happened and then people that are in the know say they've never been more scrutinized now -- and I know that. You know in today's world you know they can get ahead of the testing in. But job. British English yet these guys and women have been have been. I have been tested you know around the clock randomly whatever into the best of my knowledge. I think the market going to cycle. Situation but not may have been announced yet so we'll just keep your fingers crossed that they can keep --

I know me forget about this track and field review how the heck do you can't pickles every day from China I mean you put money down Toronto Detroit still a lot.

We don't know at oakmont -- Olympic Torch clutch if you are right now I can certainly would have directed this might dial Eric and what my remote control. And played it via the China women's volleyball -- tearing apart secure in the Brazilians are ahead of the cherry and -- who had an update if you want but the yeah.

Only what do you decided you wanted to go to Tibet you want to goatee elements square could you. Or is that all off.

don't -- question is sitting at the very end hadn't had a terrific. Torre. A that -- charity match was I like should be used to just kind of kind of walked ungovernable area and you know obviously my third Olympics and have been lucky to do. Gotten him the first century of course and a winner now -- Beijing in the -- we -- about it happens in Beijing the Greeks in the the Chinese sending ancient civilizations. Just to say the least been with so much. So much history to absorb in two -- common whatever mean it's it's. It's just enjoy -- some -- pollution than what you could be part of person. Thomas soak it all up as best I can move -- do my job and still try to get a feel for what. There's unbelievably fast country --

We. Look forward be coming back here be an end when you're free to tell us the truth the real truth but no one's listening to -- phone's not tapped in the -- camera in the corner of the room that'll be fun.

What one quick story if I cannot a lot of money up I love my job. My backpack in the hotel regularly you know I'm under a chair while I was I was on I was on line from from the hotel lobby and I left at Indy. In the out in the lot and in the lobby and I woke up the next day and realize that there I had misplaced -- at McDonald's manager and it's that I left my backpack. In in the lobbying group back in fifteen minutes and we'll see if we -- what they did find it. And the guy behind admitted I don't imagine sister me over the items were in the backpack and I said I don't know. Any sure it will start naming him that I sit well I think that might sunglass wearing there just what Paris sunglasses were but don't question I don't know. He said about what else is in their butt kicked my glasses what kind of -- I don't know. What we were back and forth in this an exhibit -- going to fight through it before items I was in their. We're in the back in the backpack and finally he should do what what was the foresight and I mean I identified the power what was on the back. My game was sort -- I had to go through each and every item identify what what what Emeka be idolize. For the guy would even consider giving -- and thank god I got.
