Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program already in progress. It's our two
Speaker 2: and this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan Net's Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: Big night in the NBA for Joe l. Embiid and
Speaker 2: also Carl Anthony Towns. Although Embiid had seventy in a
Speaker 2: win against the Spurs, Carl Anthony had sixty two in
Speaker 2: a loss eight seven, seven to three. DP Show Email
Speaker 2: addors Sdpatdanpatrick dot Com, Twitter handle a DP show coming up.
Speaker 2: I'll bring back some comments that Kobe Bryant had. I
Speaker 2: think this is six or seven years ago, and I
Speaker 2: asked him to choose his eighty one point game that
Speaker 2: we just celebrated the anniversary yesterday or the final game
Speaker 2: of his NBA career when he scored sixty. So I'll
Speaker 2: have that for you coming up. Stat of the Day
Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America. That would be the
Speaker 2: official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. And let's
Speaker 2: see pull question for our two seaton, let's recap what
Speaker 2: we did with our one. We'll talk to the great
Speaker 2: comedian Kevin James, he'll stop by and Mark Sanchez, former
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback will join us as well.
Speaker 3: I would rather score eighty one in a game or
Speaker 3: be the NBA scoring champion. Right now, at sixty eight
Speaker 3: percent of the vote, is still NBA scoring champion. A
Speaker 3: lot of it seems to be. I'd rather have thirty
Speaker 3: five a night every night than eighty one one night, yeah,
Speaker 3: which I definitely get that. Oh yeah, yeah, I want
Speaker 3: to be great. I want it sustainable. Not Hey, you
Speaker 3: had one great game, like Michael Red. Didn't he have
Speaker 3: fifty five in a game?
Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin Tony Delk also had a fifty point game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know you can go off. These guys
Speaker 2: are great scorers, and sometimes it just hits you and
Speaker 2: your teammates know it and they feed you the ball.
Speaker 4: Yes, Mark, And there's not random scoring champions. There's random
Speaker 4: guys who score fifty a night or fifty for one night,
Speaker 4: but not random scoring. There's no scoring champ. That's like, huh,
Speaker 4: he'd like he won a scoring title.
Speaker 2: Bloop bloop all right? I think in college, do you
Speaker 2: just twenty rellity ar?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Nice?
Speaker 2: A game of blue blue like points? Yes, he got
Speaker 2: points there in college, Like I remember a couple of
Speaker 2: guys who led the nation in scoring a guy from Richmond.
Speaker 2: His name was Bob McCurdy. Also Johnny Newman I think
Speaker 2: led the nation in scoring, and I think he was
Speaker 2: at Ole Miss. So there were guy Freeman, Williams, Bird
Speaker 2: aver It. There are guys who led the nation in scoring.
Speaker 2: Where you go, huh, but it's you don't lead the
Speaker 2: NBA in scoring. Where you go huh, yeah, Pauling.
Speaker 5: But I guess to stay with my argument here for
Speaker 5: eighty one is we're talking about guys who have dropped fifty,
Speaker 5: which is really impressive and it's nice, but like you said,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people could do it. Eighty one
Speaker 5: is a really different stratosphere. Seventy really is, but eighty one,
Speaker 5: Kobe is modern era, the greatest score in a game.
Speaker 5: You have to go back to.
Speaker 2: Okay, would you rather shoot a fifty nine on a
Speaker 2: PGA event or you end up up being the player
Speaker 2: of the year on the PGA Tour. So you get
Speaker 2: one day where you make history or you get the
Speaker 2: entire season, because that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: Can the fifty nine be during a Major, Sure, I'll.
Speaker 2: Take it, but it doesn't mean you win the major. Okay,
Speaker 2: you get fifty nine, let's say, you guys at fifty
Speaker 2: nine at the Masters, or you win.
Speaker 5: Player of the year fifty nine at the Masters.
Speaker 2: Okay, I would take Player of the Year because chances
Speaker 2: are I might have won the Masters and maybe another
Speaker 2: major in there. All right, we'll get two more phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up, changing the poll question up? Or did
Speaker 2: you do that already?
Speaker 6: Seed?
Speaker 3: You know it's actually gonna throw out one for a topic.
Speaker 3: I don't think we've hit today. Okay, I don't remember.
Speaker 3: But Todd Ball's not calling a timeout at the end
Speaker 3: of the game against the Lions. Okay, what dot dot
Speaker 3: dot dot dot dot? That no big deal?
Speaker 2: Or it was a deal. It was a deal, and
Speaker 2: I think it's become me a bigger deal because Todd
Speaker 2: Bowles doubled down and basically saying they didn't have any
Speaker 2: time left. This is what he had to say yesterday.
Speaker 6: The Lions were.
Speaker 7: Taking an invaded information with twelve thirty seconds left on.
Speaker 8: The play flock.
Speaker 6: Is there like in terms of not taking your last
Speaker 6: time out? Is there like a gentleman's agreement?
Speaker 4: If you don't do it on the first two like that,
Speaker 4: then you're just going to end the game.
Speaker 9: It's not a gentleman's agreement. They were in field goal range.
Speaker 9: We'd add twelve seconds calculated you after using that timeout
Speaker 9: to come back from it, then we would have been
Speaker 9: down eleven points. It's kind of pointless, the kind of
Speaker 9: know when the game was over and the game was.
Speaker 2: Over, Okay, he's mismanaging the clock after the game, recalling
Speaker 2: how much time was left. So Detroit took the snap
Speaker 2: too early and you could have taken a timeout, forced
Speaker 2: them to kick a field goal, and there was thirty
Speaker 2: six seconds left. Let's say you block it, you score
Speaker 2: a touchdown two point conversion, or if they missed the
Speaker 2: field goal, you still have a little bit, you have
Speaker 2: a chance. That's what I don't understand what Todd is
Speaker 2: saying there and then to basically say, well, you know
Speaker 2: it was the inevitable, Why postponed the inevitable? Okay? I
Speaker 2: was surprised at that.
Speaker 3: Also, head coach the playoffs, yeah, as well, just just
Speaker 3: burn the time out. It doesn't only another.
Speaker 2: This isn't week four where you go, yeah, you know what,
Speaker 2: let's get on the charter and get back home and
Speaker 2: start preparing next week for Kansas City. That was what
Speaker 2: was surprising. The head coaching carousel in full swing. By
Speaker 2: the way, the Titans have a new head coach. He
Speaker 2: is the former offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. You
Speaker 2: can applaud if you want to, Marvin, you were applauding
Speaker 2: over there. Brian Callahan is the head coach, former offensive
Speaker 2: coordinator with the Bengals. The Raiders quietly announced that Antonio
Speaker 2: Pierce is going to be their head coach. That was
Speaker 2: Friday at four fifteen Eastern. If they make that announcement,
Speaker 2: but if you look at two coaches that are left
Speaker 2: here in the playoffs, one in the NFC, one in
Speaker 2: the AFC, it's that reminder of you don't have to
Speaker 2: hire the offensive or defensive coordinator. Because John Harbaugh was
Speaker 2: in charge of special teams before he took over in
Speaker 2: charge of special teams in Baltimore, and then Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2: His highest full time position was an assistant head coach
Speaker 2: in New Orleans. He wasn't a coordinator. Not all coordinators
Speaker 2: are meant to be head coaches. But we make that mistake.
Speaker 2: I know we want to. We want to give them
Speaker 2: that opportunity. There's certain guys who aren't wired to be
Speaker 2: a head coach. There's certain guys who are maybe they
Speaker 2: wouldn't be great coordinators, but they're great head coaches. And
Speaker 2: there's a big difference in that. And sometimes you'll see
Speaker 2: these guys know what they're doing offensively or defensively. But
Speaker 2: then you got to handle everything else that goes along
Speaker 2: with that title. You know, do well win press conferences there?
Speaker 2: You got to deal with you know, tricky reporter questions there,
Speaker 2: and salary cap and draft and all of that. When
Speaker 2: you're a coordinator, you go into your little vacuum and
Speaker 2: then you got your guys and the head coach leaves
Speaker 2: you alone. You're the defensive coordinator. You don't have to
Speaker 2: talk to anybody. They'd prefer you didn't talk to anybody.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's rare when an offensive or defensive coordinator
Speaker 2: has to talk to the media. Even if you ask born,
Speaker 2: you can't get them. They're like, nope, you know maybe
Speaker 2: coach oh, you can't have him. But you look at
Speaker 2: these two coaches here and how they did it. And
Speaker 2: when Dan Campbell was introduced at the press conference, I
Speaker 2: had that reaction like Okay, this can't last maybe in college,
Speaker 2: but not in the NFL. But it has. And they
Speaker 2: started out poorly, And I thought they were a playoff
Speaker 2: team last year. I mean, they had it in place.
Speaker 2: They're a fun team to watch, and they started to
Speaker 2: believe in themselves. And now you have them where they
Speaker 2: are in the NFC title Game. No matter what happens,
Speaker 2: it's been a great year for Detroit, great year. San
Speaker 2: Francisco has to go to the super Bowl. Baltimore, Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 2: they have to go to the super Bowl. Like, at
Speaker 2: some point you say to Lamar Jackson, Hey, regular season,
Speaker 2: that's nice. But it's like Joe Ellenbiid last night. The
Speaker 2: first thing I thought was damn seventy points. The second
Speaker 2: I thought was yeah, but it doesn't matter until we
Speaker 2: see what you do in the postseason. Is he a
Speaker 2: more skilled player than the Joker? Probably?
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 2: He plays offensively and defensively better than Joker does. But
Speaker 2: what does that mean? Great, you're more talented, even more
Speaker 2: of a reason. Why Hey, why don't you have success?
Speaker 2: Why don't you get to an NBA finals? Maybe you
Speaker 2: get to a conference final. But Joe Ellenbiid is extremely talented.
Speaker 2: But what are you going to do in the postseason,
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, You're gonna have two MVPs can you do
Speaker 2: something in the postseason? Is this sustainable? Because that's what
Speaker 2: we want. Mahomes could actually he could go and not
Speaker 2: get to the super Bowl this year, and I don't
Speaker 2: think it's a negative because if I look at the
Speaker 2: house credit that he has, he's okay. Now, that doesn't
Speaker 2: mean he doesn't want to go or he'd view this season,
Speaker 2: you know, is anything less than a disappointment, you know.
Speaker 2: But Lamar Jackson, let's see, it's like Mike trout Man,
Speaker 2: great regular season, we want to see what you do
Speaker 2: in the postseason. Sometimes it's not fair, but those are
Speaker 2: the expectations that come along with being one of the
Speaker 2: greats of all time. Yes, Ton, that was all the more.
Speaker 4: Reason to root for the Bills against the Chiefs. Then
Speaker 4: you're guaranteed to have Alan or Jackson get their Super
Speaker 4: Bowl shot this year.
Speaker 2: Thank you to Yes Marvin.
Speaker 4: Going back to Gervin and David Thompson, those are two
Speaker 4: guys that didn't have very much playoff success and now,
Speaker 4: like someone like me that wasn't alive back then, I
Speaker 4: looked at him like who are they? Yeah, and then
Speaker 4: you look up like, man, those dudes were like phenomenal
Speaker 4: scores and That's how someone maybe twenty years from now
Speaker 4: may look at Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson if they
Speaker 4: don't get there, because you'll hear so much about Patrick
Speaker 4: Mahomes because he's winning Super Bowls, which might be the
Speaker 4: big thing. All right.
Speaker 2: Here's Kobe talking about his eighty one point game and
Speaker 2: his final game when he scored sixty and we talked
Speaker 2: to him. It was April of twenty eighteen, and I
Speaker 2: asked him to choose. Would he choose between the eighty
Speaker 2: one point game or his sixty point final game. Here's
Speaker 2: Kobe's response. Here's the question I thought of yesterday. If
Speaker 2: I said, now, you did both of these. But if
Speaker 2: I said, you could only have one on your resume,
Speaker 2: you could get the eighty one or you could get
Speaker 2: the sixty in your last game. You have to pick
Speaker 2: between those two. You only get one.
Speaker 8: Oh man, I'd probably go with the eighty one because
Speaker 8: we were like one game out of making the playoffs
Speaker 8: that year, so we needed literally needed every single game
Speaker 8: to get into the postseason. So if we had dropped
Speaker 8: that one, I think we would have been in serious
Speaker 8: jeopardy of missing the playoffs that year. So I'll go
Speaker 8: with the eighty one.
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller and I got into a heated discussion, like
Speaker 2: he kept saying, you're gonna end your career with sixty,
Speaker 2: and then he put exclamation points on his text message
Speaker 2: and I said, but eighty one exclamation points. That's come
Speaker 2: on eighty one and reg goes no. Sixty on your
Speaker 2: last game.
Speaker 8: I'm just I'm enjoying the fact that you got to
Speaker 8: actually having that debate. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: So that's Kobe twenty eighteen April twenty eighteen. Still great
Speaker 2: to have that in our archives, to be able to
Speaker 2: bring that back out. Yeah, you put up eighty one,
Speaker 2: but it's eighty one with Kobe's career, so everything that
Speaker 2: goes along with that. You know, sixty in your final game.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like this was a one off for Kobe
Speaker 2: when he went for eighty one and you go, oh,
Speaker 2: ain't he had a good game. But I love the
Speaker 2: Jalen Rose that we get to give him a little
Speaker 2: grief every time we have him on when we talk
Speaker 2: about Kobe's eighty one, and then Jalen's like, I didn't
Speaker 2: guard him the whole night. And then they did that
Speaker 2: commercial where Kobe's there sitting get ready to have a martini,
Speaker 2: and he goes, I'll have eighty one allumns please, and
Speaker 2: Jalen like he's got to.
Speaker 6: Just eat it.
Speaker 2: I love that he like walks in.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, no, there he is.
Speaker 2: He tries to like avoid him. Oh that's a fun commercial.
Speaker 2: That's great fun commercial. So Embiide has a big night
Speaker 2: and Karl Anthony town Now listen to Karl Anthony Town's
Speaker 2: head coach. Karl Anthony Towns goes for sixty two and
Speaker 2: his coach, Chris Finch isn't happy.
Speaker 10: Obviously, we're gonna try to feed a hot hand, look
Speaker 10: for a hot hand. But at some point, we gotta
Speaker 10: get back to making the right play. We gotta get
Speaker 10: back to doing the right things. And you know, that's
Speaker 10: just like I said, there's a lot of ways to
Speaker 10: be immature. There's always a lot of ways to be immature.
Speaker 10: And there was a lot of immature performances here throughout
Speaker 10: the roster. We totally disrespected the game ourselves and we
Speaker 10: got exactly what we deserve.
Speaker 2: So wow, he could have stopped. He almost stopped, but
Speaker 2: then after going and then he talks to him about
Speaker 2: being immature.
Speaker 8: Yes, Martin.
Speaker 4: He was like a parent, a stop jumping on the bench,
Speaker 4: jumping on they hit their heads. See that's what you get.
Speaker 4: See good, Now go sit down.
Speaker 2: Carl Anthony Towns. They were feeding him in the fourth
Speaker 2: quarter and they shouldn't have kept feeding him because he's
Speaker 2: he looks spent and then they lost the game. And
Speaker 2: that's what his coach is talking about. That's one of
Speaker 2: those where you go, hey, you know what, we're a
Speaker 2: young team and we're learning, we're trying to figure this out.
Speaker 2: I'm really proud of this team and certainly Carl Anthony
Speaker 2: with the performance that he had and leave it at down.
Speaker 2: But when you go immaturity, he doesn't have to tell
Speaker 2: us anything. All he has to do is say that
Speaker 2: to his team, isn't he he is? But he's telling
Speaker 2: us too. Yeah, but he does. But I'm thankful that
Speaker 2: he did. But he doesn't have to. I thought that
Speaker 2: was something that like coaches used us. They're using us.
Speaker 3: They said things in press conferences to get a message
Speaker 3: to the team.
Speaker 2: But why not just send it to the team.
Speaker 3: But I don't think he's walking into the locker room
Speaker 3: being like, hey, guys, great job tonight.
Speaker 2: Uh game close?
Speaker 8: There.
Speaker 2: You guys did good. Cat Hey, hell of a performance.
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it up. But he could go
Speaker 2: in there and say, guys, that can't happen. We have
Speaker 2: to be smarter than that.
Speaker 3: Do you think it if they had a bad game
Speaker 3: and he came in and said, oh, well, we'll get
Speaker 3: him next time, Carl Anthony Town's had a great game
Speaker 3: though that their local like beat writers and stuff would
Speaker 3: be like.
Speaker 2: Is coach aware that they lost the game? No? No,
Speaker 2: you don't have to say it to the media. You
Speaker 2: can say it to your team. You can give tough
Speaker 2: love in a locker room. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: need to send the message, like if you need to
Speaker 2: use the media to send a message to your team
Speaker 2: that they're immature. Well, you did it, but I don't
Speaker 2: think you needed to.
Speaker 4: Yes, Mark, No, I enjoyed that humble then, Oh you're
Speaker 4: thirty and thirteen but you lost to the Hornets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm rich, that's true. Coach, I make more
Speaker 2: than you do. Yeah, coach, I make more than you do,
Speaker 2: but I'm rich. Yeah. Uh, take a break. Phone calls
Speaker 2: coming up. Settle on our pole. Question for hour two

Speaker 2: us from Kelly Clarkson studio and then you gotta go
Speaker 2: on her show.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm whatever. Backstage. Now, I'm in one of the
Speaker 6: dressing rooms here. You ever been in a bad green room?
Speaker 6: I've been in a very few good ones. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 6: most of the ones, A lot of the ones. The
Speaker 6: on the you know, these these beautiful theaters you play,
Speaker 6: you know when you're doing stand up. Uh, they're they're
Speaker 6: over one hundred years old, and the uh, I think
Speaker 6: the green rooms are one hundred and fifty years old.
Speaker 6: A tiny little you know, they're they're they're they're tough.
Speaker 6: They're pretty tough. But this one's actually pretty nice. It's
Speaker 6: not too bad.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Do you have things in your writer when you do
Speaker 2: your stand up special and you go city to city?
Speaker 2: Any any demands there that might surprise us?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's not crazy like you'd think. It's just uh,
Speaker 6: I just think coffee or something like that. Literally, nothing,
Speaker 6: I don't. I'm pretty easy. We bring stuff. You know,
Speaker 6: my die it changes every three minutes, so you know,
Speaker 6: I'm into a gave and now I'm not. Now honey,
Speaker 6: you can't have honey and that. So it's like we
Speaker 6: just bring our own whatever it is. I'm trying to
Speaker 6: do whatever, whatever wave I'm trying to catch to get
Speaker 6: in shape.
Speaker 2: Next, I was wondering when you did cameos on Everybody
Speaker 2: Loves Raymond right now, did that lead to King of Queens?
Speaker 6: No, No, it helped, not connected, not connected in that way.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 6: I had a development deal at NBC and we were
Speaker 6: developing the show. But what really helped me solidify it.
Speaker 6: I was at NBC then when we were starting the process.
Speaker 6: They didn't They passed on the show The King of Queens.
Speaker 6: But because Ray invited me to write an episode with him,
Speaker 6: we wrote one on golf. That was the one that
Speaker 6: I was able to write and get in on and
Speaker 6: CBS saw it and said that they would They were okay,
Speaker 6: given me my own show. So it helped he you know,
Speaker 6: he was such a big help and all that.
Speaker 2: When you do stand up and you go out and
Speaker 2: test this material, I'm assuming you go out to smaller
Speaker 2: clubs and test. But if it doesn't go well, is
Speaker 2: the joke removed or rewritten?
Speaker 6: It depends. I mean, it depends on you know, I
Speaker 6: will you know, sometimes I'll force things and I'll be like, nope,
Speaker 6: this is funny. That audience was not great, and I'm
Speaker 6: going to try it again. And sometimes they prove me
Speaker 6: wrong where I'm like, oof, I've tried so many times,
Speaker 6: it's just a pain, and he asked to get this
Speaker 6: thing going and it's just not working. So, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm pretty good at knowing. I think this is going
Speaker 6: to work for me. But I've written bits like way
Speaker 6: too long, you know, and done the whole thing and
Speaker 6: it ends up, you know, I lose the audience with it.
Speaker 6: So it's like it ends up just being a really
Speaker 6: short bit, but it's still in there. You know, it's
Speaker 6: a funny punch, and then you're out.
Speaker 2: Tougher to star art a comedy show or end a
Speaker 2: comedy show.
Speaker 6: That's a good question. I think start. I think start
Speaker 6: because when you when you come on stage, they give
Speaker 6: you a couple of minutes. You know, they're just excited
Speaker 6: to see you, which is nice, and they're really really
Speaker 6: happy with you. But if you don't hit them with
Speaker 6: the first few jokes, or you miss or something's a
Speaker 6: little often your time is a little off, you can
Speaker 6: lose them. It's more dangerous. There By the end of
Speaker 6: the show, you've kind of built up, you know, a
Speaker 6: relationship with them and they kind of know you know
Speaker 6: that they hopefully like you. At that point. So it's
Speaker 6: a little easier I think to end, although I've missed endings,
Speaker 6: like I've gone, you know, gone to my big closer
Speaker 6: and it didn't go. So I've got to go on
Speaker 6: and try to find another one.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 6: It's like you try to get out on that last
Speaker 6: big laugh and if it doesn't go, you got to
Speaker 6: find another. Oh so you like go into extra innings
Speaker 6: with this, Yes, it's extra innings. It's it's it's not
Speaker 6: fun and and I'll torture them because I'll just stay
Speaker 6: as well as necessary.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not leaving until you guys start laughing. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: when you were younger, did you ever follow somebody who crushed? Like,
Speaker 2: do you remember that feeling and who it was?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, I mean I remember seeing Sandler. I first
Speaker 6: met him at the Comic Strip in New York and
Speaker 6: I just went up to him and he was really
Speaker 6: nice to me, and I watched him just crush. And
Speaker 6: Ray was one of the first ones that I saw
Speaker 6: crush too, you know, it was I was hosting it.
Speaker 6: You remember the Young Comedian Special, the HBO Young Comedian Special.
Speaker 6: They were doing, you know, auditions for that, and I
Speaker 6: got to host it. So I was on all night
Speaker 6: long MCing and I watched these guys come up, and
Speaker 6: I was trying to be seeing myself to see if
Speaker 6: I got on, if I can get on, and all
Speaker 6: these comedians would come on. They were just hammer, hammer, hammer,
Speaker 6: And then Ray came on and I'm like, how was
Speaker 6: he going to follow this last guy? Whoever? It was
Speaker 6: just a royd and raised just very low key. So
Speaker 6: but he did, he changed. He he taught me a
Speaker 6: lesson that like he just settled into the audience like
Speaker 6: he just he just did his He stated his pace
Speaker 6: where I would have tried to amp it up and
Speaker 6: try to get him going, you know, and just be louder,
Speaker 6: he stated his pace and the first joke didn't go
Speaker 6: as well, but then he got him and he crushed
Speaker 6: it and he ended up getting that special I didn't.
Speaker 2: Nor Norm McDonald had a unique delivery.
Speaker 6: Crazy great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how would you describe that style?
Speaker 6: I mean it's not traditional, no, no, it was uh,
Speaker 6: it was so unique and that was just so you know,
Speaker 6: he was so committed to it and there was nowherewhere
Speaker 6: else to go, you know, That's the thing. It wasn't
Speaker 6: like he went into a character and delivered a joke
Speaker 6: that way. That was him, and I loved it so much.
Speaker 6: You know, he's again so different than anything you've seen
Speaker 6: or will see. Probably I just is that ah, just
Speaker 6: that style.
Speaker 2: They didn't care that if you cared, it was like, right, hey,
Speaker 2: I care, and if you don't, that's okay, Like you know,
Speaker 2: you know, move on with this. We're talking to Kevin James.
Speaker 2: He has his comedy special premiers today on Amazon. It's
Speaker 2: called Irregardless and his Owls Don't Walk tour begins February third.
Speaker 2: Tickets available at Kevin james dot com. Family friendly stand
Speaker 2: up on Amazon. Yes, how important was it to do
Speaker 2: it that way? It?
Speaker 6: You know, it was important for me, uh thirty years ago.
Speaker 6: That's where what happened.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 6: It's like I used to curse like a crazy man
Speaker 6: with all my buddies, and you know, but I realized
Speaker 6: that it was more at a laziness, like I didn't
Speaker 6: want have to change my set if I ever got
Speaker 6: the Tonight Show or if I got a TV spot.
Speaker 6: I just started saying, I got to write clean. I
Speaker 6: don't want have to change my material, so I don't
Speaker 6: do any like political stuff or current events like I
Speaker 6: didn't want to write stuff that I'm going to lose
Speaker 6: it after it's done, So it's like to build a
Speaker 6: universal act. For me, was like it was important and
Speaker 6: it just kind of settled in that way, you know,
Speaker 6: and I just, you know, I try to write that way.
Speaker 6: I don't think about it like, oh I got to
Speaker 6: write clean now. But it just happens that way, and
Speaker 6: you know, it can be challenging sometimes but it works out.
Speaker 2: Recap your year as a New York Jet fan, Oh.
Speaker 6: My gosh, it's just getting more and more depressing because
Speaker 6: I'm saying the same thing every year. You know. It's
Speaker 6: it's you.
Speaker 2: Know, and I didn't lead with this Kevin. You know,
Speaker 2: I waited till the very end, right No.
Speaker 6: By the way, I was there opening night, you know,
Speaker 6: for Rogers, Yes, and I didn't make it into the
Speaker 6: stadium before he got I was in the parking lot
Speaker 6: walking in and it was over. You just heard this
Speaker 6: massive you know, the energy just left the stadium and
Speaker 6: I was like, you knew something was wrong and you're like,
Speaker 6: whoa was that? And of course, you know we find
Speaker 6: out it was a four plays in or something. It
Speaker 6: just you know, I mean, it felt like it would
Speaker 6: felt across the whole NFL. I mean everybody, you know.
Speaker 6: It just it was an exciting thing to go for,
Speaker 6: you know, to root for and to see how it's
Speaker 6: going to turn out, whether you're Jet fan or not.
Speaker 6: And when that was taken away, it just I don't know.
Speaker 2: Would you have given up one of your healthy achilles
Speaker 2: to keep Rogers in their quarterbacks? Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was like a kidney thing. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes,
Speaker 6: what am I doing?
Speaker 2: You know you're not using your achilles?
Speaker 6: No, I haven't used it in years, in years.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can have both. By the way, we have
Speaker 2: an undercover skid idea Paulie.
Speaker 5: Okay, so you know King of Queens. We all know
Speaker 5: the role you played on King Queens. What if you
Speaker 5: went as a mean spirited UPS driver undercover where it's
Speaker 5: clearly it's you, but you're not the nice guy from CBS.
Speaker 5: You're not the nice UPS driver. And see if people
Speaker 5: figure it out and their reaction as they confuse you
Speaker 5: as the celebrity to just a UPS driver.
Speaker 2: Hilarity would say, that's the elevator pitch there from Paulie,
Speaker 2: my producer.
Speaker 5: By the way, I couldn't be more confused. Myself right now,
Speaker 5: that's part of it. You play an undercover ups driver.
Speaker 6: I'm an undercover okay, but.
Speaker 5: People may recognize you as your role from King.
Speaker 6: Of Queens, right, but I'm not that guy.
Speaker 5: No more mean spirited because you're kind of look tough
Speaker 5: right now with the bald and the and the goate.
Speaker 6: But yeah, a little bit more edgy, right, Yes, I
Speaker 6: gotta more.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is that what your wife says?
Speaker 6: Yes, all the time you do. Yeah, it is a
Speaker 6: little bit. I don't I don't realize that. The without
Speaker 6: the hair, you look a little like you're angry. There's
Speaker 6: a wrestler feel to you. Yeah, a big show kind
Speaker 6: of like. Yes, and you have played a wrestler before,
Speaker 6: well yeah, fight mma fighter okay, but yes, wrestle. Wrestled
Speaker 6: in high school. I wrestled one year in high school.
Speaker 6: I wrestled the get McK foley.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 6: Uh McK foley was on Uh. It went to my
Speaker 6: high school and my college by the way, but he Uh.
Speaker 6: I was a running back in high school. Uh, and
Speaker 6: the our team needed a heavyweight, so they brought me in.
Speaker 6: I'd never wrestled before. I was a strong kid. Uh,
Speaker 6: so I had like a double leg takedown. That's all
Speaker 6: I had. So if I could take you down and
Speaker 6: squeeze you, you know I would. I would win a
Speaker 6: lot of matches. But if if you knew anything about wrestling,
Speaker 6: you could you could beat me easily. And uh I
Speaker 6: remember one match it came down to that because I
Speaker 6: think Mick was hurt or I don't know what it was.
Speaker 6: They needed me and it was a big match that
Speaker 6: was going back and forth. And when you're a heavyweight,
Speaker 6: you wrestle last, so it was an away game or
Speaker 6: away match, and uh I was going against his big kid,
Speaker 6: and I remember I was so panied because everybody go
Speaker 6: like turning to me, and it was one of those
Speaker 6: like in a sports movie where it's just everybody looked
Speaker 6: at me, and it was like you're in and it
Speaker 6: was like vision quest, you know, I take the head,
Speaker 6: you know, you put the headset on, you get in there.
Speaker 6: I put my foot on the line and they're like
Speaker 6: go and I double legged him and I went back
Speaker 6: on him and then he rolled me immediately, and he
Speaker 6: was so big I couldn't breathe. I was suffocating under
Speaker 6: him and I was fighting like crazy, and he ended
Speaker 6: up pinning me and we lost, and it was the worst.
Speaker 6: I just remember the bus ride home. Two things. I
Speaker 6: remember everybody being quiet and probably hating me. And I
Speaker 6: remember number two. I smelled just like that guy, so
Speaker 6: I had to smell and a quiet ride home.
Speaker 2: You didn't mind being called a heavyweight. I always wondered
Speaker 2: about that. Hey, you're the heavyweight.
Speaker 6: No, I was in good shack, like I liked it,
Speaker 6: because most heavyweights were back then. I wasn't ripped, but
Speaker 6: I wasn't. I was in good shape. I wasn't. I
Speaker 6: was like two hundred pounds maybe or whatever. But I
Speaker 6: was like, you know, you'd go against these guys that
Speaker 6: were just you know, grass fed, big, big guys.
Speaker 2: But luckily you've gotten over that embarrassing moment that you
Speaker 2: had just now. Yeah, have fun with Kelly Clarkson and
Speaker 2: good luck with the special. Irregardless premieres today on Amazon

Speaker 2: the scene I'm I'm supposed to be in Brooklyn and
Speaker 2: we just get ready to start shooting my scene with
Speaker 2: Sandler and Kevin James, and Sandler goes, uh, Danny, how
Speaker 2: about a Brooklyn accent? Right right as we're ready to
Speaker 2: start shooting, And I go, come on, and then Kevin
Speaker 2: James goes, come on, you call yourself an actor. You
Speaker 2: don't have a Brooklyn accent. And I go, you could
Speaker 2: have told me this before. It's I did blend it
Speaker 2: with Sandler and Drew Barrymore. I get there and my
Speaker 2: character's got a Greek name, last name, and Sandler goes,
Speaker 2: as I deliver my lines in front of everybody, Drew Barrymore,
Speaker 2: they're all, you know, watching this, and he goes, Danny,
Speaker 2: I'm about a Greek accent. I go, Samman, I like,
Speaker 2: you're just telling me. He goes, your last name is Greek.
Speaker 2: I said, but that doesn't mean that I speak Greek,
Speaker 2: and then he said, I give it a try. So
Speaker 2: I delivered my lines in what I thought was a
Speaker 2: Greek accent. It didn't make the movie. Yeah. So then
Speaker 2: there was Zohan. He's a Sandler movie. What's the official
Speaker 2: title of Zohan?
Speaker 8: Fear?
Speaker 5: Don't mess with this?
Speaker 2: Mess with Zohan? And Emmanuel Shrieky's in the movie, and
Speaker 2: Sandman knew that, Hey, you know, if you can get
Speaker 2: me into that movie, that'd be nice, just to say.
Speaker 2: He lo to Emmanuel Shrieky, who was what Sloan in
Speaker 2: uh On Trash. So there's a role that Rob Schneider got,
Speaker 2: and that's the cab driver. Well, Sandler goes, Danny, can
Speaker 2: you do a Middle Eastern accent? And I said no,
Speaker 2: and I'm not doing a Middle Eastern accent. So if
Speaker 2: you see the movie, Rob Schneider's the cab driver. And
Speaker 2: he had offered me that opportunity. Hey you got a
Speaker 2: Brooklyn accent, you got a Greek accent? How about Middle East? No,
Speaker 2: how about Midwest from Cincinnati? That's all I got her
Speaker 2: home Team. I was in that one too with Kevin James.
Speaker 2: You were okay, Yeah, that's where players play Sean Payton. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I play myself in that, so that doesn't really count.
Speaker 2: That's not acting. All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 2: Phone calls coming up back after this.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search fs are
Speaker 1: to listen live.
Speaker 2: Slipping a couple of phone calls here, We did have
Speaker 2: a formula for sitcoms. It always was the heavier guy
Speaker 2: and then it was always the pretty girl. CBS would
Speaker 2: always have that, Hey it's the big guy and then
Speaker 2: it's the beautiful wife. There felt like there was a pattern. Yes,
Speaker 2: uh yeah, Lea Remedy, King of Queens.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I think that's Kevin James, but Lea Remedy.
Speaker 5: But you have to be like, you can't take it
Speaker 5: as an insult, like if you're Kevin James, you're you're everyman.
Speaker 5: You're kind of not too big, not too small. You
Speaker 5: don't have a great job, you don't have a bad job.
Speaker 2: I think at some point you go, man, the pay
Speaker 2: is really good. Yeah, go ahead. You know, maybe this
Speaker 2: started with Jackie Gleason and the Honeymooners Dry Meadows right
Speaker 2: as he's a bus driver and you know, Jackie Gleeson
Speaker 2: really big guy. But then it was like we always
Speaker 2: go whenever you watch those shows, don't you go that
Speaker 2: guy couldn't get her in real life, Like Sophia beg
Speaker 2: Ghera on Modern Family with Ed O'Neill.
Speaker 5: Now Ed is a retired rich businessman. They trumpet how
Speaker 5: much money he has on that show.
Speaker 2: So that's that's a sugar daddy. That's a whole different
Speaker 2: uh formula.
Speaker 5: Did you guys ever see that episode of SNL where
Speaker 5: it's like a newscast is it seating Horatio Sands is
Speaker 5: the actor. Does that sound right? He is one of
Speaker 5: the comedians. So he's standing there. It's a live shot
Speaker 5: of like an accident in a neighborhood and Horatio Sands
Speaker 5: is sitting there with Margot Robbie, who's his wife, you know,
Speaker 5: stunningly the top five on Earth, And so they throw
Speaker 5: it out to the live shot and the guy goes,
Speaker 5: you know, let me talk to a couple of local
Speaker 5: witnesses who saw the crash. An interview Hoiratio Sands, who's
Speaker 5: a big, thick guy, kind of every man, and let
Speaker 5: me talk to his uh and and all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: the guy in the studio goes softy, goes real quick,
Speaker 5: he did you say that's his wife? He goes, yes,
Speaker 5: it was back to you in the studio, Jim. He goes,
Speaker 5: can you go back? Is he a lottery winner?
Speaker 4: And they go back.
Speaker 5: They keep going, the newscaster to keep going back and
Speaker 5: forth to find out how he got her.
Speaker 2: Yes, smart classic.
Speaker 4: Every time I see the George Lopez show, his sitcom,
Speaker 4: I'm like, uh uh, no way, no way. He was
Speaker 4: just a regular, like a a factory worker that became
Speaker 4: like a manager of a factory worker of a factory plant,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, uh huh, Constance Marie is the uh
Speaker 4: actress's name, and you're like, uh huh, No, it wasn't
Speaker 4: Ed O'Neill.
Speaker 2: But we've done that before in real life, when you
Speaker 2: go over to somebody's house and you're going, oh, that's
Speaker 2: your wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Sally and I have
Speaker 2: been together for twelve years, love every day.
Speaker 12: Yes.
Speaker 4: I saw this once where the guy was a bigger guy, older,
Speaker 4: but then I saw a picture of him when he
Speaker 4: was young, and my wife goes, oh, I see it
Speaker 4: really really handsome when he was young and thin, and
Speaker 4: then he put on a couple pounds.
Speaker 2: Why don't you just call me out. Okay, that's.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 2: That is true.
Speaker 5: He used to work out thirty years ago.
Speaker 4: And then you found potato tips at Eminem's.
Speaker 2: That is true. That was That's a remarkable you know
Speaker 2: when you have the reverse transformation, are you you know,
Speaker 2: like the before and after.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like, oh, that's the this is the dude
Speaker 3: she settled for because in her past there's some super
Speaker 3: wealthy guy that she thought was going to be the guy,
Speaker 3: but then that didn't work out, And it's like, ah, well,
Speaker 3: this is the guy I ended up with.
Speaker 2: Uh, Andrew and Florida Andrew.
Speaker 7: ADP six two two ten. Two questions for adp Uh.
Speaker 7: First one, just watched That's My Boy with my wife
Speaker 7: and what a funny movie that was.
Speaker 6: But favorite Sandler movie? Would love to know?
Speaker 7: And then second question, Pat Mahomes, Kelsey or Bronk and
Speaker 7: Brady who would you rather have?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to stay with Brady and Gronk. I mean,
Speaker 2: the fact that we're in we're allowing them into the
Speaker 2: conversation says an awful lot about them. But I would
Speaker 2: still stay with Gronk and Brady. But you know, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm open to Gronk and or Kelsey and Mahomes being
Speaker 2: the greatest duo in playoff history. H Jeremy and Texas.
Speaker 2: Hi Jeremy, thanks for holding what's on your mind?
Speaker 12: Good morning. I just wanted to let you in on
Speaker 12: a little bit with help for your podcast, on your
Speaker 12: betting podcast, okay, and my ability to bet on the
Speaker 12: future because I had the fortune my daughter graduated with
Speaker 12: Patrick on White House High School and I had the
Speaker 12: fortune of Washington grow up and seeing every game I
Speaker 12: think I might have missed one or two games, and
Speaker 12: when he went to Tech, I famously told whoever would listen,
Speaker 12: unfortunately that he's never gonna amount to nothing. They've had
Speaker 12: quarterbacks to go to Tech and just stayed off and
Speaker 12: basically every game I brought twenty five years right now, Well, certainly,
Speaker 12: let me remember that a bit of information that I said,
Speaker 12: and say, you know, you remember when you said that
Speaker 12: he's not gonna be many too much? He's won two
Speaker 12: super Bowls, he's ben tie three MVP. Yeah, I said,
Speaker 12: you know, how's wrong on that one. But if you
Speaker 12: need help for the feature.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Jeremy, thank you. We'll keep you on
Speaker 2: speed dial. By the way, Uh, Andrew and Florida was
Speaker 2: asking me about my favorite Sandler movie, none that I'm in.
Speaker 2: I would say Deeds. And I always loved mister Deeds.
Speaker 2: And then every time I see a movie, a Sendler
Speaker 2: movie that I wasn't in, I always go, well, I
Speaker 2: could have played that role, or I could have played
Speaker 2: that role, but mister Deeds, I still get a kick
Speaker 2: out of that. Let's see what else would be in there? Yes, Tom,
Speaker 2: does he still owe you a car?
Speaker 4: Did you reach that number of movies?
Speaker 2: You know what It hasn't been brought up because I did.
Speaker 2: I was in Hube Halloween that was supposed to be
Speaker 2: the movie that Sandler would then buy me a car.
Speaker 2: But now he's gotten like, you know, he's this serious actor.
Speaker 2: He's in this space movie.
Speaker 3: You think he's bought the Safty Brothers car. He's moved
Speaker 3: into that realm.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: Now he's working with these other directors and producers and
Speaker 2: they're really serious and important, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: all of us we got kicked to the curb, you know,
Speaker 2: David Spade and Rob Schneider. Sandler doesn't care about us anymore.
Speaker 2: He's now an actor. He wants to win an Academy award. Yeah, great,
Speaker 2: what about us, We're trying to feed our family.
Speaker 6: Sand Man.
Speaker 3: I just saw him the other day to wearing a
Speaker 3: scarf and like a nice coat too that he knows.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say he he had on like shoes,
Speaker 3: some slacks, a nice coat and a scarf.
Speaker 4: That I'm there was a Nick scarf.
Speaker 2: There is no way, there is no way, yeah pulling.
Speaker 5: This new movie is called Space Man, You're right, Yakob Prozaca.
Speaker 2: And he's in with Carrie Mulligan. Oh, and she's a
Speaker 2: big time.
Speaker 5: Orphan is a boy and raised in the Czech countryside
Speaker 5: by his grandparents. He overcomes the odds become the first
Speaker 5: astronaut from the Czech Republic. I think it's a serious movie.
Speaker 5: Oh that story again, that old bet Spaceman two. It's
Speaker 5: actually Spaceman two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know it's no heads up no, because
Speaker 2: I said, hey, uh got any movie.
Speaker 5: Could be one of the guys that mission controlled Dan.
Speaker 2: I had to it was so bad, it was pathetic
Speaker 2: that I sent him a text recently. I said, hey, Sandman,
Speaker 2: I want to plan I want to plan my summer.
Speaker 2: Let me know if you have a movie, and he goes, Danny,
Speaker 2: uh working on something, and then that was it.
