We also put up there based 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:53.840 on Todd would you rather be confident or talented? Right now, 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.000 sixty two percent of the audience would rather be talented. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.680 And you're saying that Todd is confident, Well. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.720 I believe that was the quote you had from somebody 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:08.440 in the band said, Uh, well, he's certainly confident. I 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.920 don't know how talented he is, but he's definitely confident. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:12.760 And it made me wonder, would you rather be super 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.280 confident in your abilities or really talented but maybe not 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:15.880 as confident. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.560 I'll take I'll take talent. Yeah, yeah, I'll take talent. Yeah, 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.039 that's an interesting question though. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.319 I know people who are talented, guys I grew up 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.319 with I thought were extremely funny or great singers, but 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.960 they didn't have the confidence to try it. Fritzy is 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.880 like maybe a sea level talent, but a B plus 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.720 on the confidence level to try things. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.480 Not like a must see talent. No, you're talking about 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.320 a sea level Yeah, like a grade See. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.800 There's some people like you know, we've talked about Russell Wilson. 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.880 He might need to not be the best athlete of 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.400 all time, but he has superior confidence and it worked 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.160 for him for a decade. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.760 All right, it is It is more of a thought 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.080 provoking question than you think. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:56.440 Yes, it is on the surface. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.600 Yeah, well I lack confidence growing up and probably should 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.360 lean towards the confidence part of that, but I still 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.320 having talent. I can gain confidence by having talent. If 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.040 I have confidence, I don't have talent, then eventually it's like, 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.160 you know what, maybe I shouldn't be doing this. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.680 Yes, you can waste all of that talent though by 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.399 not having the confidence too. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.960 You know, yeah, yes, Tom. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.320 There are people in various industries. We've all worked with them. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.280 We don't have to name who they are. But you 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.320 could have a lot of confidence in charisma. You may 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.400 not have a lot of talent, but you could somehow 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.080 brainwash people into thinking that you're you're the man, and 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.760 you're in charge, and they follow you along and you 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.000 hire people that will handle all the talented work that 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.959 needs to be done, and you could be the figurehead 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.480 and be the big president of a company whatever. And 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.359 I don't know how much talent you have, but you've 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.680 kind of tricked everybody with your charisma and confidence into. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.440 Thinkning soundost like you got some people in mind. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.359 Nobody like this person. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.520 He or she must really know what they're talking about 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.359 if they had to do it themselves. You know, they're 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:55.919 smart enough to hire the people that know how to 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.840 get it done, but they can and then take credit 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:58.360 for it or whatever. 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.200 Yes, but also, average talent can be developed with hard work. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.360 You can not have like Dan, you have a good voice, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:05.800 There's a lot of people on here who don't have 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.240 good voices, but they have good control of their broadcasts. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.600 Like I worked for years with Chris Fowler, and I 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.720 don't know if Chris Fowler had a great voice when 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.320 he started in this business. He developed a thick and 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.720 rich voice, but I know he was always prepped and 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.840 always worked to prep for the broadcast, which I think 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.680 goes a long way to make you talent. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.040 Fritzie just sent me a tweet. Thank you Fritzie for 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.240 putting a smile on my face. My mom passed away 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.120 last night. As I'm crying going to work, you guys 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:34.440 make me smile. Thank you. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.600 How nice is that? How many jobs in the world 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:38.000 can you make? 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.200 That mom passed away? 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.400 But it's it sounded like death on Friday night listening 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.119 to Todd though. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:46.680 You have to turn her into that one. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.040 She's getting past losing her mom because we made her 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:51.680 laugh at her. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.520 She loved it soon. 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.520 Wow, did he get to hear the audio? 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:58.040 That's too bad? 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:09.080 Yeah, too bad for her? Oh that's it. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.400 Yeah, I can't believe you got up and did that. 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.520 Man, that's unbelievable. Unbelievable. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.440 Kept his hands in his pocket, the whole time. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.480 I got a lot of those Fritzy pocket pool. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.160 Yeah, if your hands over to your pocket, I know, Yes, Marvin. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.640 There was a woman about two rows ahead of me 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.000 and my wife and she was tearing up and she 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.400 was saying, he's just doing such a great job. I 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.839 don't think she even knew Fritzy at all, and she 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.799 was tearing up. Or maybe he was, you know, crying 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.840 from you know the pain. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.440 Yes, Todd. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.440 Do you feel like you sang better in sound check 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.680 or in the like, actual live performance. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:48.480 That's a good question. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.080 I thought I sounded a little better in the live performance, 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.400 but that may be my mind tricking me, because the 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.880 audience seemed to be into it. That they were clapping 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.880 and dancing and singing along to the words, which I 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.520 wasn't expecting any of that, and that that alone made 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.680 me feel really good, eve even if my singing was bad, 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:03.120 that they. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:10.479 Here's another cut from soundcheck, watching Watching, Watching. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.240 Watching. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.960 A question, I'm going to do that. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.479 Lass line they watch you every more?

They quick 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:31.960 question because they made one. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.240 Suggestion which sounded very high school musically, and that's not 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:35.600 how the song goes. And I didn't want to get 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.520 into a whole thing with them because they're awesome and 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:38.960 I'm gonna do whatever they want me to do. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.520 But it was they were like, hold on, you just 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.080 you will not let people help you, the people who 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.279 do this for a living. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.040 I had just listened to the song so many times 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.760 I knew, like what all the exact words were, and 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.320 they go, how about watching you, watching you, watching you 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.240 prav it ees and like ended like that, and that's 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.279 not how the song goes, and it just that sounded 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.840 weird to me, but I guess it's helpful for them, 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.359 and our instruments were to end on that particular note. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.599 You guess it's helpful. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.520 So I say, you want me to do three watching 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.560 news and then just say private eyes and like ended 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:10.960 like that. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.080 Wait, wait, hold on, Fritzy, did you want it to 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.560 fade out like it does on your album? 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.120 Exactly what I want?

If the Dolphins 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.680 had gotten to the super Bowl, then he got to host. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.480 None of us thought that ever was gonna actually come 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:07.000 to Fruition. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.840 No, I don't think he remembered.

I 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.640 don't know if you got to see that or hear that, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.760 but it was awesome worth the look worst of the weekend, Dan. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.120 You know, it's a lot of layers like an onion, Dan, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.679 the US women it's just not a good look. I 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:01.920 thought it with a bad Starry with the whole good 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.600 luck with that mantra, and you know, just it's a 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.600 shame that went down, and it's a shame that people 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.480 were going and rooting for that. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.240 So thank you, Bud. Yeah, there are a lot of 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.960 advertising dollars attached to the US women's team and commercials, 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:22.000 and now you know it's in Australia. You're you were 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.120 losing the American audience anyway, and now you don't have 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.040 the US in there. You've lost a couple of the 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.880 marquee teams there, but not having the United States. Harry 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.080 and San Francisco. Hey Harry, what's on your mind? 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:36.880 Hey? 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.600 Dan Patrick Man, I get to play hooky in elementary 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.440 school to watch you on TV for hours all right, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:44.240 next to take my call. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.000 Sure, Hey, two. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.520 Things soccer here. Obviously, two major events went down, not 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.360 only do the women unfortunately, I thought it was a 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.400 great selection. I know they didn't have the best showing 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.440 throughout the tournament, but they went out in style. They 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.760 went out as me anyone who watches the sport, Sweden 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.560 is one heck of a team and it was a 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.120 tough way to go out. But hey, I'm still proud 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.400 of them. I know. Anybody that's upset with them going out, listen, 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.640 they're probably an armchair or there's some political in their mind. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.880 They probably don't even watch soccer that often. Anyone who 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.040 watched the sport should appreciate the way they went out. 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.080 Yeah, yeah, I mean they had a great opportunity. They 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.640 were the better team. Thanks for the phone call, Harry. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.720 It's just you know, Megan Rippino can be polarizing. She's 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.440 off putting, and she wasn't. She's not a good player anymore. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.640 She's a legend. But it felt like they were holding 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.920 on to some memories there by having a couple of 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.199 players out there who probably shouldn't have been Yeah seen, yeah. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.480 I mean the they had some injury problems too, so 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.959 that kind of messed up the squad. But it shouldn't 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.360 be lost that winning two back to back is a 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.920 tremendous accomplishment and it is sort of the end of 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.679 a golden generation, you know, where a bunch of the 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.200 players that we've known for years and years and years 0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:59.360 are on their way out. 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:04.280 Now. Yeah, you got Alex Morgan, Arlie Lloyd, Megan Rappino. 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.440 Even Julie Arts is probably out. There's a bunch, so 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.880 there's like a new generation coming in. It's just too 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.319 bad because what you want is obviously you want to win, 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.480 but especially Sophia Smith, who she's sort of the next one, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:17.400 She's the next great. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:18.199 I think. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.480 This was sort of her moment to pass the torch 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.319 to her, and unfortunately she had a chance to win 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.839 the game and miss the p K. That's just a 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:27.640 real bummer for her. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.320 Gus in La, Hi, Gus, what's on your mind? 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.319 Good morning, mister Patrick Fritzy tipping the cap to you, brother. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.760 I don't know if I'll ever I would ever do that, period, 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.160 no question, if I'd ever do that. Best and worse 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.040 at the weekend, got a couple of best best My 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.440 Dodger's going down to San Diego and proven once again. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:54.959 Wide to the Little Brother and another another Best of 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.400 the Weekend. This one kind of means spirited, but it's 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.959 best to me. The Angels have lost six in our 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.840 b They are now seven games out of the final 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.480 wildcard spot. Art Moreno, you played yourself. You thought that 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.720 you would write the ship, and yet all you're doing 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.400 is playing Otani right to Dodger Blue. Thank you for that. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.959 A couple of worst of the weekends. Worst of the 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.520 weekend is the demise of the pac twelve man. I mean, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.760 I grew up in Mace, Arizona, in the backyard of 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.440 Arizona State, and then I grew up to be a Trojan. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.800 And seeing this conference just totally just dismantled, almost in 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.320 like like within a summer has been something hard to 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.600 watch because all the great basketball that's been played, all 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.640 the great football has been played, and you know, now 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.000 it's all gone and everything. And then the little bonus 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.320 of a Worst the weekend, Cincinnati Red's rookie pitcher first 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.920 two pitches of his major league career go for home runs. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.400 I hope it is a little bit of a precursor 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.160 to a Cy Young Award. Winning career for that young man. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.320 You boys have a great we. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.079 Thank you, thank you, Gus. Yeah, you know, we used 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.240 to get caught up in tradition, remember the bowl games, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.160 like the Big Ten and the Pac twelve. Like you 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.319 can't get rid of that, you know. I was told 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.480 that when I said, look, they're trying to exponite the 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.160 playoff system. And then they're like, well, you know, you 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.160 can't give up these bowl games. You can't give up 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.280 these matchups and the Big Ten and the Pac twelve. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.000 And I go and everybody kept telling me all these 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.480 college football and centers, there's contracts. Do you know that? 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.760 Do you follow the sport? I'm like, dude, I'm kicking 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.280 your ass on the exclusive that they're moving this up. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.040 They don't care about those contracts. Do you think Florida State, 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.320 Oh my god, you got a contract for the next 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:41.040 twelve years, Clemson, you'll get out of these contracts. And 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:45.760 we saw that. But the tradition, that's what you know, 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.360 we grew up with that. There's no tradition. They don't 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.640 even care about rivalries anymore. It's about the bag. As 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:54.680 Dion says, yes. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.200 It's going to say that the whole tradition thing seems 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.680 a little overplayed. There's a couple of great traditions in 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.600 college football, but it was really just up until recently 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.040 that we're like sort of randomly assigning who was the 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.240 national championship. You know, by well, strength of schedule, you 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.960 beat these guys, so you're the one that won. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.600 Or the one year I think it was Colorado and 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.840 Michigan shared the national title, right co national chair was 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:20.680 that Georgia Tacker. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.600 I don't think that that's the great tradition that we're 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.600 missing at the dah. What are we going to do 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.240 about the history of randomly assigning who's the winner? 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:36.160 But this is what college football brought upon itself. Nobody 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.480 saw it coming until they realized they couldn't get out 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:42.080 of the way of it. And it's just an avalanche 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.800 tsunami where you're going, oh my god, we're in trouble now. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.520 I'm sure these other schools are going, we got out, 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.640 we get a bigger payday. Everybody was worried about that. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.920 I thought that the fact that you had more playoff 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.440 spots would mean that there would be less realignment, that 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.440 you would stay in your conference, you'd win your conference, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:07.280 you would have an automatic berth and Oregon and Washington 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.080 are quality programs, but they're not going to stick around 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.680 because you go, wait, what is our business model here? 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.280 And you found out they didn't have a business model. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.360 It was based on you getting subscriptions. Hey, we need 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:27.160 you to buy into Amazon here or Apple or whatever 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:33.600 it is. You're going, what no linear TV? Crazy? 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:33.960 Yeah? 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:34.280 Mark? 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.120 Should the Rose Bowl just be the Big Ten championship game? 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.080 Now? Well, from what I'm told, whether it happens or not, 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.200 because this is all fluid, I don't I don't want 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.760 to get you know, chastised, as I normally do whenever 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.320 I speak out of my lane with college football. But 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.880 can you have a Big Ten title game in the 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.480 Midwest and then change it the following year to the 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:56.480 West coast? Alternate? 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:56.920 Yes? 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.960 Okay, just that's been thrown out, thrown out. I just 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.480 want to lend everybody I'm not reporting that. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:04.920 Minnesota, Wisconsin. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:10.840 Yes, first he reported Lincoln Riley took an NFL job. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:15.399 Now he's doing this. Yeah, I get that. Stay in 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:22.760 your lane, you know, SportsCenter boy? Okay, yes, Bruce Feldman, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.160 he knows more college football than I do.
