Speaker 1: one Dan at who is very very excited about meat Friday. Fantastic.
Speaker 1: Thank you Tod, who has it better than we do?
Speaker 1: Zero people, No, no, wait you guys. Okay with the
Speaker 1: food today? Oh yeah, just to zero people. He jumped
Speaker 1: the gun. Mix it up a little bit. Let's letting
Speaker 1: Todd have that moment right there. Appreciate okay. By the way,
Speaker 1: the NFL lines according to DraftKings Jacksonville getting eight and
Speaker 1: a half, Giants getting seven and a half, Bengals getting
Speaker 1: five and a half, Cowboys getting four against the Niners.
Speaker 1: Mike Golic, Big Mike Westwood one NFL analyst and joining
Speaker 1: us on behalf of Draft Kings, a sports podcaster. He
Speaker 1: will be on the call in the Booth Cowboys Niners
Speaker 1: Westwood one Sunday kick off at six thirty Eastern. Good
Speaker 1: to see him, Mike. The thing we're overrating about this
Speaker 1: game and the thing we're underrating about this game, well,
Speaker 1: I think what we're possibly overrating here, well, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's overrating to say what Christie McCaffrey is doing,
Speaker 1: but we might be overrating saying that. Though I think
Speaker 1: San Francisco is the better team, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that think this is a team that's going to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. But Dallas played so well last week
Speaker 1: that but inconsistently throughout the year, actually did the first
Speaker 1: game a couple of their games, the first game against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in Week one, which was a horrible game.
Speaker 1: So I actually think that it's possible that San Francisco
Speaker 1: could be overrated because winning eleven in a row, and
Speaker 1: Dallas can be a little underrated, even though they played
Speaker 1: very well last week. So I probably lean there the
Speaker 1: guy that's been and he's finally getting his dude, And
Speaker 1: we all said this at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: Let Pollard run the ball. I mean, he's got to
Speaker 1: be the guy over Zeke. But Zeke had been the
Speaker 1: man for so long it was almost like you wanted
Speaker 1: to tiptoe into that and walk on eggshells when it
Speaker 1: was like, this guy has a proven better home run
Speaker 1: hitter than Zeke. He had a better year than Zeke.
Speaker 1: Zeke got all lows in career lows in rushing yards.
Speaker 1: So I think from an individual standpoint, Pollard has been
Speaker 1: the underrated one because I think people are afraid to
Speaker 1: step on the toes of Zeke Elliott when this is
Speaker 1: this is a meritocracy, man. You get the job done,
Speaker 1: you get the job, and Pollard deserves more time on
Speaker 1: the field. But I wonder if this has to do
Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones giving Zeke Elliot at that contract extend
Speaker 1: and I at the time said, why do I want
Speaker 1: to get a running back like that five more years?
Speaker 1: Like I got five, I'll move on. And Paullard was
Speaker 1: the better running back and has been that home run hitter.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that was ego that Jerry's like, no,
Speaker 1: he's got a play because I don't want to look
Speaker 1: like I just you know, wasted money. Jerry Jones and ego. No,
Speaker 1: never would that would never happen, Dad, I mean, come on, seriously,
Speaker 1: of course it was. I mean we were all wondering
Speaker 1: why he was giving everybody in the world a deal
Speaker 1: instead of Dak Prescott and then Zip having given Dak
Speaker 1: a deal after Dak gets hurt. Sure, it was every
Speaker 1: every owner GM has an ego. We're gonna find out
Speaker 1: what goes on in San Francisco down the road with
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. You know, John Lynch has a GM. He's
Speaker 1: great player, but now as a GM he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be wrong. And the fact that they traded up
Speaker 1: to the number three spot for Trey Lance, they tried
Speaker 1: to force him in this year, you know, and push
Speaker 1: Garoppolo aside. And let's be honest, San Francisco is where
Speaker 1: they are because Jimmy Garoppolo needed shoulder surgery. If he
Speaker 1: didn't need shoulder surgery, he would have been traded away,
Speaker 1: he'd have been gone and Brock Purty would have had
Speaker 1: to take over early in the season. We have no
Speaker 1: idea if he would have played that well early on.
Speaker 1: So yeah, going back to Dallas and Zeke, yes, it
Speaker 1: was an ego of Jerry Jones, but Pollard has proven
Speaker 1: right now he is the better back in the backfield.
Speaker 1: We had Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback on last time,
Speaker 1: and he brought up something that I had not heard
Speaker 1: about brock Purty because it's a small sample size, but
Speaker 1: I said, you know, he'd get a feeling that you
Speaker 1: know who brock purties. He said he talked to a
Speaker 1: scout who said brock Purty had to be the best
Speaker 1: player on the field every single weekend at Iowa State
Speaker 1: if they had a chance to win. So it's not
Speaker 1: like he went in and went, hey, I got an
Speaker 1: offense around me. I have to be great every single weekend.
Speaker 1: And I think that philosophy is he's not a game manager.
Speaker 1: He wants to make plays. He's used to making big plays.
Speaker 1: So I called a couple of his games at Iowa
Speaker 1: State where he set those thirty two school records. So
Speaker 1: obviously when you're doing the games, you get a chance
Speaker 1: to sit down and talk with the these guys, and
Speaker 1: he's extremely competitive. Now, a lot of guys in the
Speaker 1: sport are competitive. I mean, I think that can be
Speaker 1: an overused word, but to your point, and what you're saying,
Speaker 1: you know, you're right. You know, he doesn't care who
Speaker 1: he has out there. It's not one of those oh,
Speaker 1: gimme more weapons. It's like, I'm gonna make do with
Speaker 1: the weapons that I have. And he continued from that. Again,
Speaker 1: it would have been interesting, and I'm sure they're glad
Speaker 1: it didn't happen if Garoppolo was gone and Purdie did
Speaker 1: have to take over early on in the season, if
Speaker 1: there would have been this much success. But he's a
Speaker 1: very confident guy, and confidence is great, but you still
Speaker 1: have to go execute on the field. He's also it's
Speaker 1: kind of a it's kind of a balancing act, Dan,
Speaker 1: because you've got to give Brock Purdy all the credit
Speaker 1: in the world. But while we're throwing roses, let's also
Speaker 1: understand that the three touchdowns his wide receivers had at
Speaker 1: least a five yard cushion. He was throwing to wide
Speaker 1: open receivers. Now, again, that was in a playoff game,
Speaker 1: and he's thrown well throughout. So before people sit there
Speaker 1: and say, oh, goal looks trashing this guy, he has
Speaker 1: done a great job. But you got to give Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan credit. And how about Brian Greasy was taken over
Speaker 1: as the quarterback coach there as well. And the fact
Speaker 1: that you know this, damn when we were teammates at
Speaker 1: the ESPN, I mean, the trade deadline in the NFL
Speaker 1: was just a date. Nobody did anything. Now, Kristin McCaffrey
Speaker 1: and TJ. Hockinson has shown, man, you can really make
Speaker 1: some hey at the trade deadline. So you got you
Speaker 1: have McCaffrey, you have Elijah Mitchell, you have Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 1: you have Brandon Aiyu who has a career year, and
Speaker 1: George Kittle. So you now have a pre snap read
Speaker 1: for Brock Purdy, who's a smart quarterback to at least
Speaker 1: go okay, I got a couple of spots. I can
Speaker 1: go here because I have monster mismatches on the field
Speaker 1: because of all this talent that's on the field Sol
Speaker 1: So it is working hand in hand with the weapons
Speaker 1: that he has, with the play caller and Shanahan he has,
Speaker 1: with the quarterback coach he has, and with Brock Purdy himself,
Speaker 1: who has really really grabbed the whole of this situation.
Speaker 1: He's my goalik. He'll be in the booth for the
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the forty nine ers, Westwood One Radio, Sunday,
Speaker 1: kickoff at six thirty Eastern. How much of the pregame
Speaker 1: will you focus on Brett Maher kicking field goals or
Speaker 1: extra points? Well, you have to listen. I go down
Speaker 1: on the field before every game to talk to players
Speaker 1: and coaches, and the kickers are the first ones out
Speaker 1: on the field, so you kind of get their range.
Speaker 1: You know, it certainly can be windy in San Francisco
Speaker 1: to see where there are the ranges on both sides.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you, a kicker's got to be
Speaker 1: like golfers. I mean, what a mental side this has
Speaker 1: to be in this game and then miss and then miss,
Speaker 1: and then miss and then miss again. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not one that says I feel bad for players. We're
Speaker 1: all on the field, we all are trying to make
Speaker 1: plays and we all get embarrassed at times. So like
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the family, probably more than the player.
Speaker 1: You got to put them back out there. I know
Speaker 1: they had another kicker in practice and they were going
Speaker 1: over and Brett made five of five and this other
Speaker 1: guy made three of five. Brett's going to be the kicker,
Speaker 1: and you know what, you in the beginning especially, so
Speaker 1: you have to put him out there. You have to say,
Speaker 1: if you're going to have him on the active roster
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the game, you have to have
Speaker 1: the confidence to send him out there and make the kicks.
Speaker 1: So if he goes out there and doesn't make him again,
Speaker 1: then you rethink a fourth and three or fourth and four.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in the first down over the show,
Speaker 1: how many great quarterbacks are there in the NFL, like
Speaker 1: truly great? Because I don't think the list is as
Speaker 1: long as people think. I would go, you know, you
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, Rogers and Brady are emeritus, but
Speaker 1: they're not great quarterbacks anymore, right, I got Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: who is great. Yes, I got Josh Allen who's great.
Speaker 1: After that, who's great? Well, I think Justin Herbert wants
Speaker 1: to jump into that category. I think you look what
Speaker 1: we have in the AFC side of the playoffs and
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks. Wow, the future of that going forward.
Speaker 1: I think he's the next one that could bust into
Speaker 1: that category. But I agree more with you than others
Speaker 1: who say there are eight to ten, and I don't
Speaker 1: think there are truly great because you're juggling You're right
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady of how can you
Speaker 1: not say they're great but they're not playing their best
Speaker 1: right now? They're they're just that Tom did last year
Speaker 1: play great, but this year did not. So I'm with
Speaker 1: you on the smaller amount, I would say that Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert is the next guy to jump into that. Maybe
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts if he's healthy proven, he's gonna be the
Speaker 1: future quarterback of that team. But but I'm a big
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert fan, even though I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people tear him down a little bit when they keep
Speaker 1: as they try and keep continuing to build that team
Speaker 1: around him. I had somebody compare Dak Prescott. Do you
Speaker 1: want to guess who they compared Dak Prescott too? Current quarterback?
Speaker 1: I'm horrible at guessing who wasn't Kirk Cousins really see well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, I guess until you get past
Speaker 1: a certain point, you know, in the playoffs, and we
Speaker 1: know Dallas hasn't gotten past this point yet in a while,
Speaker 1: and Dak is over in this situa in the divisional round.
Speaker 1: So you know, until you pass a point, you get
Speaker 1: compared with those that haven't passed that point as well
Speaker 1: while having good stats. So I get it. Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: who I mean, all year we've doubted Minnesota, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: but this year seemed different because they were always behind
Speaker 1: Green Bay and this year they were in front of
Speaker 1: Green Bay, but we were I was like, ah, you
Speaker 1: know what, can they get it done? And we always
Speaker 1: pointed to Kirk Cousins. Quite honestly, their defense isn't very good.
Speaker 1: While Kirk Cousins worked the business of football better than anybody,
Speaker 1: I get not having the faith in him. And Dak
Speaker 1: has to prove for America's team that he can get
Speaker 1: past this point to get out of that comparison. So
Speaker 1: I understand it by how far you go get me?
Speaker 1: The surprise this weekend, I don't want to say upset,
Speaker 1: but because I don't know if Dallas beats the Niners,
Speaker 1: they are only a four point underdog or three and
Speaker 1: a half. Now, yeah, you got an upset or a surprise. Well,
Speaker 1: I actually called last week the Giants beating Minnesota. And
Speaker 1: as you know, it's all about us being right and
Speaker 1: not the game being right. It's about how good we look.
Speaker 1: So listen to the Giants can take and they lose
Speaker 1: all three to Philly this year. You know, we went
Speaker 1: through that was I called the Cincinnati Baltimore game last week.
Speaker 1: They had split during the regular season. You know, I
Speaker 1: think a lot depends on Jalen Hurts. If Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: says he kicked all the rust off him, the Giants
Speaker 1: are hot right now, I don't. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be very difficult for Jacksonville in Kansas City, though
Speaker 1: I love what Jacksonville is doing. Talking to Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, the main word for him, he
Speaker 1: said with his team is trust. And God knows after
Speaker 1: last year and that Tobacco with urban Meyer that players
Speaker 1: needed to trust somebody. But while I was a former
Speaker 1: Eagle and I loved being an Eagle, and I think
Speaker 1: they're an unbelievably complete team. Jalen Hurts and the injury
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and the possible rust, and the way the
Speaker 1: Giants are playing. They're playing the way you can win
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Run control the ball and play really
Speaker 1: good defense. Dexter Lawrence in the middle using his hands
Speaker 1: is so much fun to watch. I can't believe he
Speaker 1: and I played the same position. Quite Honestly, it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: what he's doing. So while it's all Eagle fans are saying,
Speaker 1: Golik as a former regal, how the hell can you
Speaker 1: say this? The Giants are playing well right now and
Speaker 1: the Eagles need Jalen to get back out up to
Speaker 1: Bill where he was playing before. It's always great to
Speaker 1: talk to you. Save travels, my best of the family.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike, Thanks Dan, good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: That's Mike Golick Westwood. Want he will be in the
Speaker 1: booth the Niners and the Cowboys. I like that. Somebody's
Speaker 1: you know, flipping through the dial and they're used to
Speaker 1: hear and Golick on ESPN. They're like, wait, what good
Speaker 1: to have him back. But he'll be on the call
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and the forty nine ers. We'll get
Speaker 1: some phone calls in here. We say good morning if
Speaker 1: you're watching on Peacock. We mentioned last hour and where
Speaker 1: we will be with our Super Bowl coverage. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be at Scottsdale Stadium. They gave us the stadium the Giants,
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants, and I do love that ballpark. Spent
Speaker 1: many afternoon there watching baseball on the hill, great great
Speaker 1: ballpark there and the same Francisco Giants said, come on in,
Speaker 1: it's yours for the week. Our first guest on Monday morning,
Speaker 1: Super Bowl week is J. J. Watt. Does he bring
Speaker 1: his son? Oh? Yeah, I would hope early. Yeah. You

Speaker 1: all about content, Fritzie. Could you see if maybe J J.
Speaker 1: And he's now retired, brings his wife. She can take
Speaker 1: care of the baby until he comes on the set
Speaker 1: and then he has the baby there. It's a fabulous
Speaker 1: thank you Todd. All right, poll question for hour two.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna recap our one, Seaton O'Connor. Yeah, Dan,
Speaker 1: let me recap our one for you. We had to
Speaker 1: put it up just on the website. Usually we do
Speaker 1: it on Twitter and the website, but it was a
Speaker 1: little wordy, so it's only on the website. Yeah. Least
Speaker 1: likely headline from the divisional playoff weekend? Do we want
Speaker 1: Todd to read them? It's his poll question, it is
Speaker 1: his special do we want him to do we want?
Speaker 1: I tried to when I said least likely? That was
Speaker 1: all right? How about you imitate Todd? There you go? Oh, boy. Oh.

Speaker 1: I think that's his slogan. There a legend, but that
Speaker 1: is a great motto to live by, if you can
Speaker 1: live by that. But that's why Barry is single, because
Speaker 1: he does what he wants, when he wants, if he wants. Yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: do you guys have any friends that are like, well
Speaker 1: past the marrying age and they're going wire to wire
Speaker 1: with being single? Like high school college buddies. I got
Speaker 1: a couple college buddies. I think they're going to caprio
Speaker 1: and not with his level of options, they're never getting married.
Speaker 1: And I think it's a little bit by choice. You
Speaker 1: find that interesting. I mean, do you have a lot
Speaker 1: of Do you guys have any friends like that? No? None,
Speaker 1: I don't think so or friends that Why don't have
Speaker 1: that many friends? So I bring up those sensitive topics
Speaker 1: soon if you start there. I was just trying to
Speaker 1: run through all my friends and I came up with
Speaker 1: a zero. My wife will say to me, why don't
Speaker 1: you go make friends? Like I'm seven, I'll hear order
Speaker 1: of them all. I don't know, but she'll go, you know,
Speaker 1: why don't you go make friends? I go, I know
Speaker 1: I don't need friends. Well, I have an audience. They're
Speaker 1: my friends. I have dan Ence, they're my friends. I
Speaker 1: got the back room guys, they're my friends. I got
Speaker 1: Shay and Irving, he's my friend. Yes. Yes. It couldn't
Speaker 1: have been more than seventy two hours ago that my
Speaker 1: wife and I were having this conversation and I made
Speaker 1: some kind of wise ass comment about you know, like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's called socializing. It's like this thing that
Speaker 1: people do where they go out and have friends. And
Speaker 1: she was just like, yeah, and you know what, it's
Speaker 1: tough to do when you're married to someone who hates everyone.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, good point. You're right. I am
Speaker 1: kind of a I don't really like them, but I
Speaker 1: just I'm not interested in going out and just sitting
Speaker 1: down and listening to people. I just not that's fair.
Speaker 1: I got. I would much rather sit downstairs and smoke
Speaker 1: a cigar and watch TV and not talk to anybody.
Speaker 1: That's all. That's like, It's like your friends become the
Speaker 1: people that you know because of your children. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: So like like my buddy one, I hang out with
Speaker 1: him like two three times a week because at soccer
Speaker 1: practice we'll go get a couple of beers while the
Speaker 1: kids are playing soccer, and you're like, yeah, that's my guy,
Speaker 1: that's my boy, you know, and that's kind of like
Speaker 1: what your friend group is. And then it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you're having a barbecue. Yeah, we'll come over. But if
Speaker 1: soccer ended, would you still hang out with him? Probably less,
Speaker 1: but we would keep in touch for sure. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I just how many friends do you have? New friends?
Speaker 1: Like after college? Well, okay, at my age, I think
Speaker 1: if you have three good friends, then that's all you need, right,
Speaker 1: three good friends you can count on. And you're talking local,
Speaker 1: like locally it could be anyway okay, yeah, yeah, Like
Speaker 1: my younger brother is my best friend and if I
Speaker 1: needed something, he'd be there. I don't think that counts
Speaker 1: on the list. Okay, oh brothers are he has to
Speaker 1: hang out with you? Those are two of the three
Speaker 1: that I had on my list. My older brother and
Speaker 1: my younger brother cousin Uh wow what and my son
Speaker 1: what's Yeah? But your brothers and my son. Yeah, that's awkward.
Speaker 1: So maybe I do have to go out and get
Speaker 1: some friends. Yeah, seed, Yeah, there's like a real study
Speaker 1: about this, Like people do research on why men don't
Speaker 1: make friends as they get older and how it's like
Speaker 1: eventually like shrinks down to essentially none. Oh, there's there's
Speaker 1: real studies about that. Yeah thing. Yeah, I think you
Speaker 1: make your friends grade school, high school, uh, college, because
Speaker 1: you spend massive amounts of hours together. Think about the
Speaker 1: high school people, you know, you know everything about them,
Speaker 1: and you're still keep in touch with them, Like I
Speaker 1: know more about my eighth grade friends than the guys
Speaker 1: down the street, and even though I haven't seen them
Speaker 1: in decades and decades. Well, also when you're in this business.
Speaker 1: When I was at the Mothership, I had ESPN friends.
Speaker 1: While I worked there, they were friends, but then when
Speaker 1: I left, we weren't friends. NBC you had NBC friends,
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're called TV friends or radio friends,
Speaker 1: media friends. And then after that your relationship was really
Speaker 1: based on you work with them every day. And it's
Speaker 1: not that I didn't have great people to work with
Speaker 1: and be friends with, but once I left, a lot
Speaker 1: of them didn't feel like, you know, they could stay
Speaker 1: in contact with me because they were worried. Certainly ESPN
Speaker 1: you had that. I had one friend, true friend, and
Speaker 1: he didn't want to send me a Christmas card. And
Speaker 1: I saw him years later and I said, hey, no
Speaker 1: Christmas card. He goes, I just didn't want it to
Speaker 1: get back to management. I was going to send you
Speaker 1: a Christmas card. I go, what, get out of here.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think there was paranoia because there
Speaker 1: was some bad blood. Everything's good now, it's been great.
Speaker 1: That seems extreme though, Yes, it's an extreme level. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that's checking our mail. Yeah, they know where Christmas card listen? Yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: new friends, the new friends I made have been in
Speaker 1: this building. But then those aren't real friends, just letting
Speaker 1: you know, a controlled environment. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird because
Speaker 1: I'm in two group chats and it's both group chats
Speaker 1: are from high school. Once. Once we're done with this,
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna stand Toime're just saying it's their media friends.
Speaker 1: I mean, I will, I will. You're a good actor. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: you know. Over the years, remember the group of guys
Speaker 1: and women and men we worked with that direct TV
Speaker 1: over the years in Los Angeles. Yeah, we worked at
Speaker 1: for so long, even though they all live in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: if we didn't work together anymore, those are the kind
Speaker 1: of guys, especially that I think we were stuck with
Speaker 1: and hung out with outside of the building. We spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time with those people at Direct TV, Yes,
Speaker 1: and on the road. I would say those people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm curious why Fritzie has been so quiet over the past.
Speaker 1: I like, the last time Fritzie went out for a
Speaker 1: beer with a friend, we didn't drink beer, out for
Speaker 1: a bite to eat or wing. When's the last time
Speaker 1: you made a friend my friends? And Scene kind of
Speaker 1: said it best. I have like four or five close
Speaker 1: friends that I grew up with from school, and literally
Speaker 1: it's not being a new friend. But my new friends
Speaker 1: are my wife's friends, husbands and but we don't really
Speaker 1: hang out much. When we all get together for a
Speaker 1: party or you know, some kind of event or a
Speaker 1: bar mitz or whatever, we're all hanging out. We'll go
Speaker 1: out to dinner once in a while, but other than that,
Speaker 1: when I get home, I'll put the TV on, I'll
Speaker 1: get my pizza at my Chinese food and I'm fine,
Speaker 1: Like you said watching TV and relaxing and not having
Speaker 1: strained conversation with somebody in a rest. Well, it's one
Speaker 1: thing to say that you don't make friends or don't
Speaker 1: care to, but then there's also that maybe nobody wants
Speaker 1: to be our friends. Maybe it's us. Yeah, maybe it's me.
Speaker 1: And I like people and I like making people laughing everything,
Speaker 1: But I don't go out of my way to try
Speaker 1: to get a new circle of friends in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: So I have someone I hang out with when I'm
Speaker 1: not with my wife and kids up the pole results
Speaker 1: there seat. Yes, Well, I was gonna say, it feels
Speaker 1: like there shouldn't be anything wrong. Sometimes you're sort of
Speaker 1: forced to be friends. Like Todd was just saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: your your wife's friend's husband. Well, now you guys are friends. Yes,
Speaker 1: And then it's like, okay, welly don't you guys go
Speaker 1: out for beers sometime. It'd be fun. You guys should
Speaker 1: do that at a way I did that once. It
Speaker 1: was we just sat there kind of looking at each
Speaker 1: other and we were like, hey, so we are we
Speaker 1: doing two of these? Or what? Yeah, you want to
Speaker 1: do another one? Analysts call it out there update the
Speaker 1: Pole results. And then I'll give you the Darius Rucker
Speaker 1: text exchange that I had. This is the Todd's Pole
Speaker 1: question that he was very excited about leak likely headline
Speaker 1: from the divisional playoff weekend right now, Read it and weep,
Speaker 1: Read it and weep. So an arrowhead chiefs. That's not
Speaker 1: going to happen at all? Right, all right? Uh, Darius
Speaker 1: Rucker had a bet with Fritzie that if the Dolphins
Speaker 1: went to the super Bowl or won the Super Bowl, Darius.
Speaker 1: What was Darius getting out of this? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but that was very brave that the only thing that
Speaker 1: I needed was for the Dolphins not to win the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I think he was going to host the show, Yes,
Speaker 1: I think, I think, and then if the Dolphins didn't
Speaker 1: get get to the super Bowl. And then we came
Speaker 1: up with the idea, you get to go to a
Speaker 1: Darius show and you get to sing two songs prior
Speaker 1: to his concert, so you're the warm up act. And
Speaker 1: we suggested two Hall of Notes songs, correct, and he
Speaker 1: agreed to that. Well. I texted him last night to say,
Speaker 1: I said, hey, uh, we're circling the date when you're
Speaker 1: at Fenway and Fritzie will open up for you, and
Speaker 1: I got on the back. It took up three lines
Speaker 1: of him just laughing, and then he said, ask him
Speaker 1: what two songs he would sing. Therefore, Darius can at
Speaker 1: least be familiar with him. I told him that he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to sing with you, but I think he
Speaker 1: might sing with you these two songs. What the hahaha means?
Speaker 1: That's not happening. You know. That was a joke, that
Speaker 1: wasn't a real but but he did remember it. I think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kiss on my listen, private Eyes were kind of in
Speaker 1: my those are the two songs. I was kind of
Speaker 1: leaning towards those two. All right, I will let him
Speaker 1: know Private Eyes and kiss on my list Okay, you
Speaker 1: make my Dreams kind of a runner up to those.
Speaker 1: There's lots of chooseful okay, but you're picking two that
Speaker 1: that you're gonna feel comfortable. Okay, But Darius did, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is the laugh by Darius. Yes, oh fit oh,
Speaker 1: who do you know? This blow is fishing? Whoa wait before? Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, we did the gambling podcast Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: takes a gamble and we recorded that yesterday. Bad Larry
Speaker 1: lives in New Jersey, Dylan, the graphics guy is here
Speaker 1: in the studio, and uh, then we had Shaye and Irving,
Speaker 1: and Shay was in the Bahamas with his uh with
Speaker 1: his wife or roommate whatever he calls her. He just
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what day it was. So I called Shay
Speaker 1: to have him on the gambling podcast picking the games
Speaker 1: this weekend. And this is a part of that conversation.
Speaker 1: I got here yeah today, okay it wait, yeah, this morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: today's Thursday, right, Okay, that's got to be here. Have
Speaker 1: you been drinking yes, absolutely, tequila Sunrise for breakfast. We're
Speaker 1: on the clock here. We want to make sure we
Speaker 1: get the prime Shay before yeah, before the ship, says yeah,
Speaker 1: because I don't know what it's gonna look like in
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. Bad, Larry, Are you okay? I'm
Speaker 1: totally fine. Dan just got back from Maine. I spent
Speaker 1: a little time at um Mortars Edge and Westbrook, Connecticut
Speaker 1: on our way home. Okay, And he didn't even stop
Speaker 1: when I come up. We all know, Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: heard this, We heard a minute. Well. I got here
Speaker 1: last night. Way paint Paul, I got a hustle at
Speaker 1: a paint pall it's all coming back. Okay. Uh So
Speaker 1: Shaye did mushrooms and he was drinking and he he
Speaker 1: forgot that. He got there Wednesday night, not Thursday morning.
Speaker 1: You can hear the entire podcast as the boys picked
Speaker 1: their games this weekend. Go to dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: Big score for Dion Sanders got another recruit, the best
Speaker 1: cornerback in the country, to flip from Miami to Colorado. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much nil money they have there.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he's using other than his charisma,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what he's doing. But I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a big deal. You know, Deon flipping a couple of
Speaker 1: these recruits, and I don't know, you know his affiliation
Speaker 1: with barstool you know Barstool fund this. I think said
Speaker 1: all along that that's not the case, even when he
Speaker 1: was at Jackson State. But if you're Florida State, are
Speaker 1: you having second thoughts here that you should have hired
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders? Now, I know at the time he had
Speaker 1: no coaching experience, and I don't know how much of
Speaker 1: a coach he is. I think he's basically the figurehead there.
Speaker 1: He's running everything. It's like Bobby Bowden at Florida State
Speaker 1: later in his career that Dion's brought in some great
Speaker 1: assistant coaches, x'es and o's guys. I mean, he's he's
Speaker 1: he's the program. It's him. And he flipped this cornerback
Speaker 1: who was a five star recruit and I guess labeled
Speaker 1: the number one cornerback in the country. And now he's
Speaker 1: going to Colorado. I don't know how much you how
Speaker 1: many you need to turn this around, but you get
Speaker 1: the feeling those schools in the Pac twelve or at
Speaker 1: least aware of what's going on with Dion and if
Speaker 1: he's doing it with just sheer charisma. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they they have their committee, their boosters that are
Speaker 1: going to pony up money there, they've been doing that.
Speaker 1: But you know, Colorado football has been irrelevant for a long, long,
Speaker 1: long time and they might not be good this year,
Speaker 1: but they'll be relevant because of him. Now you're going
Speaker 1: to tune into a game. You're gonna do how many
Speaker 1: times do you tune in to watch a coach? But
Speaker 1: you will with him, You will tune in to watch him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See it's like instant relevancy. Yeah with him, and he'll yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll get headlines through the whole year. Yeah, the whole year,
Speaker 1: win or lose, he'll get headlines. Absolutely. Yeah. Dean brought
Speaker 1: in Charles Kelly. He was the associate defensive coordina at Alabama. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's everyone lauded that pick. And Sean Lewis, who
Speaker 1: was the head coach at Kent State, a very successful team.
Speaker 1: He's now the offensive quarterors. So he brought in some
Speaker 1: high end people right off the bat. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: know people are gonna tune in and say, oh is
Speaker 1: he worth this or oh my god, they are good
Speaker 1: or they're competitive, because man, it's been a long time
Speaker 1: with Colorado football. I mean you go back to you know,
Speaker 1: Bill McCartney. Yeah, I just love the idea. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if this out works. You know, when when
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly of LSU walks into a mom and dad's
Speaker 1: living room, I'm sure they're very impressed. He was at
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and something like that. But if you're like
Speaker 1: a forty eight year old dad and mom and Dion
Speaker 1: Sanders walks into your living room, that is a NFL
Speaker 1: living legend walking in. I don't know if that could
Speaker 1: be overstated. And you know, parents do have influence over
Speaker 1: the kids. I know there's nil and the pros, but
Speaker 1: to get a kid to go to Colorado over Miami
Speaker 1: at this juncture is unbelievable. Yeah, because Comimi has the
Speaker 1: nil nil money, so they could probably match whatever. Yes,
Speaker 1: and Des one of those guys that that transcends sports.
Speaker 1: My grandmother is almost eighty. She knows who Deon Sanders is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so okay, always out there. I thought there was a
Speaker 1: big payoff there. When Prime comes walking in, sits down
Speaker 1: next day. Yeah, Oh, he's gonna have it all going on,
Speaker 1: gonna have the shades on, gonna you know, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be Prime when he walks in. And when he gets rolling,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, look out because because he gets into
Speaker 1: that motivational speaker mode and he is, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: chopping some things up there. Yeah. Mark in Urban Dictionary
Speaker 1: when they talk about he's him. Deon Sanders is the photo. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: himothymoth Himothy Himothy. A couple of phone calls in here
Speaker 1: Andrew and Washington. Andrew, thanks for holding what do you
Speaker 1: have for me today? Well, Dan, Happy meet Friday to
Speaker 1: you and the dan Ets, and thanks for taking my
Speaker 1: call real quick yesterday he's pulled question I was more
Speaker 1: into than today's. And so I think that the best
Speaker 1: opening that the NFL has right now for Sean Payton
Speaker 1: is the Carolina Panthers. Of course, the NFC South is
Speaker 1: the worst division. They have Frank Lulu, Brandon Burns, J. C.
Speaker 1: Horn on the deep end, d J. Moore and the
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback contract and Matt Corrall and then seven ticks
Speaker 1: in the first five rounds this year. So welcome Sean Payton.
Speaker 1: I just think it's a matter of time. Anyways, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you know, we can't get to the
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest on Seaton's trip, but I get it. It's
Speaker 1: way out of the way. And on that note, I
Speaker 1: do have a statur the day for the weekend. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go four LSU's third ranked women's basketball team.
Speaker 1: Nineteen was there lucky number. And last night's win it
Speaker 1: was a program record nineteenth win in a row, and
Speaker 1: Angel Reese had nineteen down to give her a team
Speaker 1: record time nineteens break double doubles. That's your stat of
Speaker 1: the day. Little numerology there for Fritzie is that Kim
Speaker 1: Mulky she's now on LSU sure after she left Baylor.
Speaker 1: Jay in Missouri? Hi, Jay, what's on your mind today? Time?
Speaker 1: Long time? Yeah, I'm nine one, Thank you. I'm calling
Speaker 1: from Saint Joseph, Missouri, the summer training camp home of
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, the next Super Bowl winner. I
Speaker 1: am suggesting that Seaton stay off of I eighty the
Speaker 1: des Moines to Lincoln. There's still people stranded there from
Speaker 1: last winter. You don't want to be there in February. Dude,
Speaker 1: that's true. That's actually not true. That actually is not true. Jay,
Speaker 1: that is not true. But okay, seton, So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's just a heads up there. I mean you don't
Speaker 1: know that for sure, that I don't know that. She
Speaker 1: doesn't know. No, No. The problem is is that we
Speaker 1: have the University of Nebraska Athletic Department, has been awesome
Speaker 1: to have over the years. Kind of wanted to roll
Speaker 1: through there and say what's up? Okay, but is that
Speaker 1: worth getting stranded for nearly a calendar year. I gotta
Speaker 1: have you in Arizona. You do, yes, Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: need the French Kid, but I need you. But you're
Speaker 1: a package deal. Your Thelma and Louise going through the
Speaker 1: heartland of America. Yes, any chance you could pop into
Speaker 1: Omaha and see Warren Buffetts and maybe say hello to him,
Speaker 1: Uncle Warren. That would be lovely and then we could
Speaker 1: do our impersonation of his laugh, don't we. Uh. He's
Speaker 1: gonna buy our show and clothe it down. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just made a purchase The Dan Patrick Show. I bought
Speaker 1: it for nine dollars. I'm gonna shut it down. Penny

Speaker 1: the big story going into the forty nine Ers Cowboys
Speaker 1: matchup obviously the game, but then the subplot is their kicker,
Speaker 1: Brenton mo Her. He's still their kicker, and here's his
Speaker 1: head coach letting him know that he's got confidence in him.
Speaker 1: It doesn't take anything away from you know, our trust
Speaker 1: and Bret, I just think you know, it's part of
Speaker 1: the responsibility player acquisitions. A three hundred and sixty five day.
Speaker 1: This is nothing out of the norm. Okay, let's try
Speaker 1: to make it as normalized as possible. You know, don't
Speaker 1: don't bring it up. Don't go, oh my god, hey, congratulations,
Speaker 1: you made one in practice, you know, warm ups prior
Speaker 1: to the game. By the way, I got something for you.
Speaker 1: The best odds to score a touchdown this weekend of
Speaker 1: all of the players which player has the best odds
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown disaccording to DraftKings, PAULI, I will
Speaker 1: go man, Christian McCaffrey. No, Todd Diggs blue yea, how
Speaker 1: about that Stephen Diggs as the best odds. Then it's
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, Jalen Hurts, Christian McCaffrey, and Travis Kelsey are time.
Speaker 1: A little bit of a surprise there when you think
Speaker 1: the quarterback according to DraftKings, who will have the most
Speaker 1: passing yards this weekend? Marvin, I'll start with you comeback
Speaker 1: player of the year, Danny Dimes. Danny Dimes, No, he's
Speaker 1: seventh on the last, Paulie. Weirdly, I'm gonna go Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: He is on the list, he's last, so weirdly, you're incorrect.
Speaker 1: Seaton m. Brock Purty Rock Purty is fourth on the list.
Speaker 1: I could picture Josh Allen lighting. No, what the bills?
Speaker 1: Did you see this informat? Have not? I just see
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Thorn Allen, and then it's Patrick Mahomes Dak
Speaker 1: and then it's brock Purty. Kind of surprising there. Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence was not the No, he was not. Check. Let
Speaker 1: me check one more time. Uh. Kyle Shanahan, What did
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan talk about the uh all the rest that uh?
Speaker 1: You know, the UH forty nine ers got a few
Speaker 1: more days of rest and the Cowboys did they didn't
Speaker 1: have to travel. Here's Kyle Shanahan. I think it can
Speaker 1: be advantaged. Sometimes it can be a disadvantage. So I
Speaker 1: know the obvious ones that you know, you get less rests,
Speaker 1: less time to recover. You know, I love having more
Speaker 1: time and stuff, but and sometimes you feel like you
Speaker 1: can't play those Thursday night games and get to it
Speaker 1: and your team is just off the wall because they
Speaker 1: just they haven't slowed down at all. And by this time,
Speaker 1: I don't think it is about recovery. It's about detail,
Speaker 1: and it's about executing, and it's about playing at a
Speaker 1: high level. Un once you get to games, especially in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that recovery, I mean people forget about pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: And just watching the Rams last year, I mean they
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals as good as anyone, and then they
Speaker 1: flew all the way to Tampa and I think they
Speaker 1: were up twenty eight to zero at halftime, So all
Speaker 1: that means anything. There was another piece of sound that
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting. The Giants say they're going to
Speaker 1: test Jalen Hurt's shoulder. Here is Julian Love, defensive back
Speaker 1: on Tiki in Turning on CBS Radio. Obviously, we're all competitives,
Speaker 1: and no matter how dinged up we are in this situation,
Speaker 1: you want to be the guy to go. But I mean,
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna test test them out and see, you know,
Speaker 1: how how good he's actually feeling he makes their offensive go.
Speaker 1: He's a talented player, like you said, he's playing an
Speaker 1: MVP pace all year, and he's gonna have to earn it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's as simple as I could put it. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, whether he's hurt or not, whatever he's feeling
Speaker 1: it or not, he's gonna have to earn everything he gets.
Speaker 1: Because that's our approach going to this week. Okay, is
Speaker 1: that targeting? You're targeting his shoulder? Is it bulletin board material?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know there's a bounty out for you know,
Speaker 1: quarterbacks every weekend. They don't say it anymore. They used
Speaker 1: to say it, and then they used to pay out. Hey,
Speaker 1: here's fifty dollars for the guy who takes him out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this kind of one of those things though that's
Speaker 1: common knowledge but never set out loud. Yeah, like every
Speaker 1: former player talks about it, but current players usually avoid it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like everybody knows that they do that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would. Yeah, if you have a tender ankle, all right, now,
Speaker 1: am I gonna twist it? I'm gonna I'm gonna hit you. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure when I tackle you see how
Speaker 1: it feels when you get up. Listen to what you
Speaker 1: know you're if you say anything, you grunge grown any events.
Speaker 1: Don't But yeah, I mean, but I can't have a
Speaker 1: bounty out for him. But are we going to target him? Sure? Yeah,
Speaker 1: ton It just doesn't have to be and shouldn't be verbalized.
Speaker 1: Do what you want to do. And you know someone's
Speaker 1: got a certain kind of injury and you're gonna go
Speaker 1: after it. But I don't care what question you're being asked.
Speaker 1: Is a way you can dodge that without it looking
Speaker 1: looking like you're trying to injure somebody who knock him
Speaker 1: out of the game. It's an unspoken thing. And don't
Speaker 1: give the other team any extra bolt in board matey,
Speaker 1: thank you too. By the way, he's speaking of here's
Speaker 1: Jeff in Pennsylvania. Hi, Jeff, Hey Dan, just hey, hey
Speaker 1: jod I just wanted to call on. Let Fritzie know
Speaker 1: that he lost his part in the pot in the
Speaker 1: face of that with Rich Eisen for who would have
Speaker 1: the better record Raiders and Broncos. And he also lost
Speaker 1: my surprise spot surprise pie in the face e bet
Speaker 1: for the Broncos finishing last in the AFC West. Maybe
Speaker 1: you can let a guest at the super Bowl deliver
Speaker 1: that surprise pie. Wow, but Fritzie have fun with that
Speaker 1: anxiety or pisiety. So instead of let's ride, how about
Speaker 1: let's pie and suck it Bosans, Oh wow, it'll Maybe
Speaker 1: we have a guest pire a little extra sauce on that.
Speaker 1: But didn't we do that with Jim Harball at the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? J. J. Watt did it as well at
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Maybe maybe you pick who you want
Speaker 1: to give you a pie to the face. Well then
Speaker 1: JJ Wadam was bust seatings like a drop. You gotta
Speaker 1: be a little more gentle than that. He could have,
Speaker 1: like with deaf in one of his ears from that thing.
Speaker 1: He could have yea from pie. Yeah, yeah, if I
Speaker 1: didn't turn my head, my nose would have absolutely weapon
Speaker 1: just shattered. Well, when Michael Irvin did it to me,
Speaker 1: Mike stiff armed me, and you know, Drew Blood It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, Mike, you just push the pie in your face.
Speaker 1: You don't smash somebody's face, like, damn that hurt. Mike.
Speaker 1: Come on, Yes, And if our previous caller really did
Speaker 1: his home record, he wants to stick it to me.
Speaker 1: I did say Drew Locke was gonna throw nine team touchdown. Pa,
Speaker 1: there's a whole collection three paws, because I guess it's
Speaker 1: three involved, all right, So it was two pie shakur.
Speaker 1: Now it's three paws. Piefect. Oh snuck it in before
Speaker 1: the break final hour on this meat Friday coming up?
Speaker 1: Oh more humor like that? Oh no, we want you
Speaker 1: to stay
