Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's the final hour on this Friday before we head
Speaker 2: down to New Orleans. We'll catch up with Seatan O'Connor.
Speaker 2: He's on the road to New Orleans here in a
Speaker 2: moment with the French Kid. He took the Mako van
Speaker 2: down there, stopped at Maco stores along the way and
Speaker 2: shaking hands and kissing babies. We'll talk to him coming
Speaker 2: up here in a moment. It's a meat Friday. It's
Speaker 2: Philly Cheese, steaks and beer battered fries. Who has it
Speaker 2: better than we do? No body I like to hear
Speaker 2: that had a little bit more enthusiasm. We found out
Speaker 2: that Tyler didn't want to have Kansas City ribs because
Speaker 2: he's pulling for the Philadelphia Eagles. That's why we have
Speaker 2: Philly Cheese takes the beer battered fries. I don't know
Speaker 2: what that's in reference to, but we'll take it all right.
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three DP show email address DP at
Speaker 2: Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Comedian Jim
Speaker 2: Gaffigan is going to stop by here in a little bit.
Speaker 2: The NBA All Stars were announced. Victor Wimbenyama got his
Speaker 2: first All Star visit here nomination as snubs. I didn't
Speaker 2: have too many arguments here. I guess Sabonis with the Kings,
Speaker 2: and I probably would have taken off James Harden, but
Speaker 2: I'm not going to nitpick there By the way, the
Speaker 2: NFL announced that concussions were down this season. If concussions
Speaker 2: were up, would the NFL have announced, Hey, want to
Speaker 2: let you know concussions are up? I know, and be
Speaker 2: in a cynic here, I am, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if.
Speaker 2: They'd go, Hey, concussions are up by not not a lot,
Speaker 2: though it's hey, concussions are down. Spread the word they're
Speaker 2: down seventeen percent, yes, tod full disclosure.
Speaker 4: Twenty three and a half more concussions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5: You know those Guardian caps, the puffy things. For a
Speaker 5: few years they've had those. Whoever the guy is or
Speaker 5: person is who came up with the the slip cover
Speaker 5: or whatever it is with the team logo with the
Speaker 5: garden caps, I think that person deser's a lot of
Speaker 5: credit because stand alone, those guarden caps are not cool looking.
Speaker 3: No, do you get an sp like, what do you
Speaker 3: give them? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I can't give them like Sportsmen of the Year, Pulitzer
Speaker 2: contributions to the game, Oh, like Hall of Fame stuff.
Speaker 2: What this is gonna mean for helmets in the future.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Tom, you put a little weird, bubbly cover
Speaker 6: over the sp award just to really pinpoint what it
Speaker 6: was for be kind of fun.
Speaker 3: Speaking from somebody who has a terrible, terrible jersey on
Speaker 3: you all, like it's terrible? Can you explain it?
Speaker 6: About a month and a half ago, it was like
Speaker 6: two three in the morning, I'm in bed and I'm
Speaker 6: just on Instagram, and something popped up about how you
Speaker 6: can mix two different sports, two different teams that you like,
Speaker 6: And for some reason I thought it'd be a cool idea.
Speaker 6: I'm a Bronco fan and my son works at Colorado,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, maybe it'd be cool, even though orange
Speaker 6: and blue doesn't really go with black and gold at all.
Speaker 6: Maybe I order one of these shirts that's half Broncos
Speaker 6: half around of Buffalo's and I order it that I
Speaker 6: immediately within minutes got a some kind of spam warning
Speaker 6: from somewhere saying like I shouldn't I guess have made
Speaker 6: that purchase and given my credit card information. But about
Speaker 6: a month and a half later with thirty two dollars
Speaker 6: and eight cents. It came in the mail to Excel.
Speaker 6: But it fits like a medium, And Harry, I'm with
Speaker 6: a very ugly shirt that probably a nine year old
Speaker 6: may wear, and at fifty five, I'm wearing it.
Speaker 3: I know, what did your wife say when she saw what?
Speaker 4: You're happy because I don't throw things out. That got
Speaker 4: too much stuff.
Speaker 2: In the You should every time you buy something or
Speaker 2: get something, you should throw something out.
Speaker 3: But that that that's just terrible.
Speaker 4: Very loud, and the colors just don't go together at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Can I make a deal with Fritzy? So I saw
Speaker 7: something and I'm going to really throw back vintage gear.
Speaker 7: I saw a jersey, not a jersey, a shirt of
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl Broncos. If I buy that for you, Fritzzy,
Speaker 7: will you throw that in like the fire?
Speaker 4: I would agree not to wear it act or on
Speaker 4: the show ever again.
Speaker 6: But but I don't want to throw it out just
Speaker 6: because it'll be it'll be a memory of today and
Speaker 6: how I was made fun of on the show.
Speaker 3: No, it's terrible.
Speaker 8: It really is.
Speaker 2: In one of those where you go, yeah, thirty two
Speaker 2: dollars you overspent and it's only thirty two dollars.
Speaker 6: A very thin material which isn't good for the waistline.
Speaker 6: It looks like it's kind of flammable. At any moment,
Speaker 6: I could just go up and play.
Speaker 4: Just sitting here quietly.
Speaker 2: Oh there he is the man on the road. He
Speaker 2: is our Magellan, he's our Columbus, he's our Vasco de Gama,
Speaker 2: he's he's Lewis and Clark. He's Seaton O'Connor, who joins is? Okay,
Speaker 2: let's do the guessing game. Where is Seaton o connor today?
Speaker 2: The background is not really revealing any secrets, Todd, I'll
Speaker 2: start with.
Speaker 4: You Biloxi, Mississippi.
Speaker 3: Boloxi, Okay, Dylan.
Speaker 9: I'm not kidding. That was actually gonna be my guest.
Speaker 9: No way, Jackson, Mississippi. Okay, Marvin, I'm not lying. Paulie.
Speaker 9: What do I have there?
Speaker 8: Yeah? You got it? Biloxi, Mississippi.
Speaker 3: Damn, Paul Where is Seaton other?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 5: I will go with Meridan Mississippi?
Speaker 3: Meridan, I'm going New Orleans.
Speaker 10: See, well, there there is a huge clue behind me.
Speaker 3: Actually, did we all just get the landlocked? That's the water.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 3: That's the Gulf of America.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well I'm sticking with Mexico. Could we get to
Speaker 10: name anything that we want to name it? Anyway, I'm
Speaker 10: about twenty minutes west of Biloxi in Gulfport, Mississippi. Yeah,
Speaker 10: Biloxi is pretty I got coffee in Biloxi this morning,
Speaker 10: so it's a pretty good guess.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna give you guys around of applause
Speaker 2: there right, nice beach there outside of Biloxi.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a little overcast today, but the weather has
Speaker 10: been really gorgeous all week, so yeah, it's good to
Speaker 10: be down here.
Speaker 3: When do you pull into New Orleans?
Speaker 10: We're going to Amico here in Gulfport in about an hour.
Speaker 10: Then we have We're about ninety minutes or so from
Speaker 10: New Orleans, where we have another Makeo that we're gonna
Speaker 10: stop at today and then yeah, then.
Speaker 3: We're in and any highlights along the way.
Speaker 2: It seems like this has been a highlight free trip
Speaker 2: between you and the French kid.
Speaker 10: All right, I won't be insulted by that.
Speaker 3: Low light low light lowlight free.
Speaker 10: Great? Uh no, we had we stopped at two really
Speaker 10: great barbecue places yesterday, Dreamland in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 10: And then another place called Archibald and Woodrow's also in Tuscalusa.
Speaker 10: They were phenomenal. That was some of the best barbecue
Speaker 10: I've ever had.
Speaker 3: Wait, you went barbecue in one place in one city.
Speaker 4: We went.
Speaker 10: We hit two barbecue spots in the same city, and
Speaker 10: we're like, well, we might as well try the ribs
Speaker 10: in both places. We might as well try like a
Speaker 10: brisket sandwich in both places. That kind of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 10: it was. It was a heavy, heavy lunch.
Speaker 2: And uh, judging by the good side of the van
Speaker 2: that Maco painted, looks like that's in good shape there.
Speaker 3: It looks gorgeous.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, and a quick tour.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: The other side is uh we showed dents and dings
Speaker 2: and faded paint just to let you know what the
Speaker 2: before and after looks like.
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, so far, so good. We got We're in
Speaker 10: the home stretch here, so I'm hoping that we make
Speaker 10: it there without any major incidents.
Speaker 3: All right, we haven't.
Speaker 10: We haven't been pulled over, We have no fender benders,
Speaker 10: no nothing. We're good.
Speaker 3: Gosh, I'm very proud of you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, how about that look at us doing big boy things.
Speaker 3: We'll see We'll see you at some point tomorrow in
Speaker 3: New Orleans.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I'll see you guys soon.
Speaker 2: All right, that's seat O'Connor on the road with Maco.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, better get Maco, better make it Maco. Well
Speaker 2: all right, you know it's kind of the father of
Speaker 2: this show. I always get nervous when you know, you
Speaker 2: give the keys to the car or this case, the
Speaker 2: van to your son, and I want to make sure
Speaker 2: he gets there. Okay, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5: Dreamland Barbecue is in Tuscaloosa. I went there at age seventeen.
Speaker 5: Still their legendary place.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But to go to two barbecue places in the
Speaker 3: same city same day, yes, Todd, and we.
Speaker 4: Got none today. I guess according to the.
Speaker 2: Moment, we should have had some barbecue today. We should
Speaker 2: have had some Kansas City barbecue. By the way, John
Speaker 2: Calipari is going back to Kentucky tomorrow is Arkansas team.
Speaker 2: Rick Bettino, who once coached at Louisville and Kentucky, said
Speaker 2: that the crowd should react this way when John Calipery
Speaker 2: comes to town.
Speaker 11: Hello, Big Blue Nation. As you all know, I'm not
Speaker 11: best friends with John Caliperry. I respect him certainly, but
Speaker 11: it was a mutual thing. The fans wanted to change.
Speaker 11: John read the tea leaves. He needed a change, and
Speaker 11: he really didn't want to leave. But what did he
Speaker 11: do for you? He brought the best talent in the
Speaker 11: history game of any university in America to Lexington. He
Speaker 11: also won a national championship. So he's coming back on Saturday,
Speaker 11: and I want all of you to show the great
Speaker 11: class that you have, twenty three thousand plus people giving
Speaker 11: him a huge standing ovation.
Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with him.
Speaker 2: You can do that, and then you can bow him
Speaker 2: once the game starts, but give him a standing ovation.
Speaker 2: He did wonderful things there and and you know, both
Speaker 2: sides benefited. You know, John needed a break. This was
Speaker 2: a mutual parting Kentucky as it missed a beat. Mark
Speaker 2: Pope's done a really good job there. John struggled with Arkansas.
Speaker 2: I think they finally got their first SEC win. But
Speaker 2: you know you benefited, well, you did, Okay, you got
Speaker 2: one of your own as your coach, former player, and
Speaker 2: John Knew had a friend at Arkansas and gave an
Speaker 2: offer that you know he couldn't refuse, you know they
Speaker 2: He didn't make it awkward. Nobody made it awkward here.
Speaker 2: It was all right, hey, this is happening. Okay, this
Speaker 2: makes sense. Okay, all right, I'm gonna go there, and
Speaker 2: then you guys are going to hire you know, a
Speaker 2: former player.
Speaker 3: Okay, good, good, see you later, yeah pulling.
Speaker 5: Is this the first ever documented mutual partying in sports history?
Speaker 5: We've always said someone else, someone chooses it. This feels
Speaker 5: truly mutual. Both sides knew what either side wanted or
Speaker 5: what the future entailed and call it. Partly said, let's
Speaker 5: no harm, no foul. I'll be at Arkansas.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But John had created this environment there that you were
Speaker 2: one and done. He was all for the kids, getting
Speaker 2: them to the NBA to make money. My problem was always,
Speaker 2: you're paid by the university. Yes, you want to have
Speaker 2: the kids come in and go to the NBA. It
Speaker 2: looks good for you know, Kentucky, But it looks really
Speaker 2: good for Kentucky when Kentucky wins championships, and they weren't
Speaker 2: winning championships. So when Rick Chino says more talent than
Speaker 2: any other university, that makes it stand out even more
Speaker 2: that you won one national championship. That was my problem.
Speaker 2: John was so proud to tell you how much money
Speaker 2: as players in the NBA made, And if I'm a
Speaker 2: booster of Kentucky, I'm like, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3: How about we win some championships here? Yeah, Marvin, Yeah.
Speaker 7: But on the flip side, if you're a Kentucky fan,
Speaker 7: you got to think about where Kentucky basketball was before
Speaker 7: Cali Party got there with the Billy Gillespie fiasco, and
Speaker 7: years before that they had gonna they had a real drought. Yeah,
Speaker 7: before he had gotten there, So I completely understand, but
Speaker 7: I get your point. Also, they should have won at
Speaker 7: least two more national championship.
Speaker 3: He had all of this talent.
Speaker 8: Karl Anthony Townsend, Devin Booker were on the same team.
Speaker 8: That's it.
Speaker 2: I know, no, I know, but he would always say, oh,
Speaker 2: my players have made X number of billions of dollars
Speaker 2: in the NBA, and that, to me, it just kind
Speaker 2: of accentuates what you didn't do at Kentucky. Nobody had
Speaker 2: more talent and produced less results than John did. And
Speaker 2: I've said this before. He had all this talent and
Speaker 2: they won one title, but you're having freshman players play.
Speaker 3: I don't care how talented you are.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we've all been in those situations where the guy
Speaker 2: who's got experience is going to school the guy who
Speaker 2: has all the talent, and if you throw all the
Speaker 2: freshmen out there at the same time, hey, it's funder
Speaker 2: in the regular season. Now all of a sudden, your
Speaker 2: season's on the line and you start to pucker up
Speaker 2: a little bit, and that's what would happen. You'd get
Speaker 2: knocked off, knocked off early in the tournament. And a
Speaker 2: lot of that comes down to and you know, John
Speaker 2: was knocked not being a great, great time manager, game
Speaker 2: day coach, great recruiter, great frontman, showmen. But that's where
Speaker 2: you'd see these teams and you go, how did that happen?
Speaker 2: But it did? You know, it wasn't. It wasn't accidentally,
Speaker 2: You know this was this happened on almost as semi
Speaker 2: regular basis.
Speaker 5: Yeample, and that one and done talent looks fantastic. You
Speaker 5: got the players, but they're only being coached by your
Speaker 5: staff for a couple months before the tournament starts. And
Speaker 5: then teams like Villanova, remember Chris Jenkins, he was a
Speaker 5: grown man for Villanova, or that Kyle guy Virginia team.
Speaker 5: They had a bunch of juniors and seniors and that's
Speaker 5: how they won titles.
Speaker 2: Alan in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Hi, Allen, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Morning, Dan? Longtime fan since the CNN years. I grew
Speaker 13: up as an eighties kid and loving NFL football. I
Speaker 13: remember when the league MVPs were quarterbacks running backs. Lawrence
Speaker 13: Taylor got it one year. Even Mark Moseley, a placekicker,
Speaker 13: was named league MVP. So I guess my question for
Speaker 13: you is has the game changed that much that we
Speaker 13: have this long line of quarterback MVPs or is it
Speaker 13: the type of people that are voting for the MVP
Speaker 13: that has changed that much?
Speaker 2: Well, the importance of the quarterback and the numbers that
Speaker 2: go with it, and I you know, you can probably
Speaker 2: look at a combination of both. The game has changed
Speaker 2: because they want more passing, they want more scoring, they
Speaker 2: want more highlights. They don't want three yards in a
Speaker 2: cloud of dust. And because of that, a lot of
Speaker 2: your running backs are hybrids where they have to be
Speaker 2: like Marshall Fulk where you or you hope they are.
Speaker 2: That they can run and they can also receive. And
Speaker 2: you know, when you think about winning awards, it comes
Speaker 2: down to your quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Did you win Super Bowls?
Speaker 2: So I get it, But this is about the NFL
Speaker 2: wanting quarterbacks to be protected. They want it easier for
Speaker 2: wide receivers to get down the field. What you can
Speaker 2: do after you know, five yards off the line of
Speaker 2: scrimmager can't do rushing the passer. I mean, all of
Speaker 2: these things, it's all catered to the quarterbacks putting up
Speaker 2: big numbers. More phone calls coming up, and we'll take
Speaker 2: a break. Comedian Jim Gaffigan will stop by. Been a
Speaker 2: while since we've spoken to him. We're back after this

Speaker 2: football great Jim Gaffigan back on the program. All the memories,
Speaker 2: the older you get, the better you were in college.
Speaker 3: Jim.
Speaker 15: You know, it's it's one of those things where I
Speaker 15: I you know, I literally didn't barely played, so but
Speaker 15: it is a nice little fact that is like an
Speaker 15: asterisk next to my name and there's a picture of
Speaker 15: me when I walked on at Purdue. But I was
Speaker 15: literally there for two weeks. And now people are like, yeah,
Speaker 15: he beat the Big ten football.
Speaker 2: I remember that game he played against Ohio State. He
Speaker 2: was incredible. Jimmy Gaffigan was all over the field.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's just sad that I didn't play in the NFL,
Speaker 15: you know, even though I didn't really even play Division One.
Speaker 3: A lot of hair back then too.
Speaker 15: I had some hair back there, those really good old
Speaker 15: days of hair and you know, energy stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when people see you out, Let's say you're walking
Speaker 2: into New York and you know, Sally and Tommy from
Speaker 2: Tulsa come up and go Jim Gaffigan, how much pressure
Speaker 2: do you have to be funny in the moment? Like
Speaker 2: did you have a go to joke or line that
Speaker 2: you say?
Speaker 15: You know, sometimes people will say you look like Jim Gaffigan,
Speaker 15: and I'll go, I hope I do. That guy's good looking,
Speaker 15: you know. But otherwise, you know, usually I find that
Speaker 15: I get a lot of if it's a really beautiful
Speaker 15: woman that comes up to me and has like a
Speaker 15: certain excitement. They usually always say, my grandfather is a
Speaker 15: big fan. There's it's you know, there's going to be
Speaker 15: something to take the air out of me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is there part of you?
Speaker 2: Some comedians like to go up there and kind of
Speaker 2: in the moment make up something or degree of difficulty
Speaker 2: where they don't want to go as scripted. Are you
Speaker 2: one of those method comedians?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: At different times?
Speaker 15: I mean that's where I think a really good audience,
Speaker 15: when it's really flowing, that's when kind of magic hits.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 15: I don't want to sound like Bono. You know, it's
Speaker 15: not like the Holy Spirit is coming down and giving
Speaker 15: me words, but there is something of when you're in
Speaker 15: front of an audience that understands your sensibility and you
Speaker 15: can kind of play and uh, it's like joking around
Speaker 15: with friends. It's yeah, it really can be great.
Speaker 3: Give me the joke you wish you had written.
Speaker 15: Oh, I I mean I love you know. Larry Miller
Speaker 15: had the Five Stages of Drinking, which I think is
Speaker 15: really brilliant. I don't know if you're familiar with that,
Speaker 15: but he also has Larry Miller has a very matter
Speaker 15: of fact delivery. He's kind of one of the best
Speaker 15: from that eighties era. I love George Carlin's Chunk on Suicide,
Speaker 15: which is just so dark and so perfectly George carl
Speaker 15: And he goes right now somewhere someone's getting ready to
Speaker 15: kill themselves, you know what I mean, And just he
Speaker 15: goes through someone trying to plan their own suicide and just,
Speaker 15: you know, I can't do it that day, I got
Speaker 15: a meeting with Mavis and stuff like this, Mom's coming over.
Speaker 15: Maybe I should do it when Mom's coming over. So
Speaker 15: it's just really dark and cynical, and he does it
Speaker 15: with such glee. It's so amazing.
Speaker 3: Do you can you give us the five stages of drinking?
Speaker 15: Well, the five stages Larry Miller's five Stages, which people
Speaker 15: should google. It's because I'm gonna not do it. Justice
Speaker 15: is the It's it's a it's it's familiar. It's like
Speaker 15: you go, you know, you're like you're gonna go out
Speaker 15: with friends during the week, You're gonna have a drink,
Speaker 15: and then you'll be home by blank, you know, by eight,
Speaker 15: you'll be in bed by ten, and then before you
Speaker 15: know it, then it's the second stage. You know, it's
Speaker 15: it's midnight and you're like, all right, that's fine. If
Speaker 15: I go home right now, I can get five hours
Speaker 15: of sleep. And then the next stage is like you're
Speaker 15: drinking some blue liquid that you all you know is
Speaker 15: they clean combs with it in the barber shop, and besides,
Speaker 15: you don't even need to sleep. You're gonna tough it through.
Speaker 15: Then the next stage is you're driving to Florida.
Speaker 8: And then the next.
Speaker 15: Stage is you've met a woman who has a tattoo
Speaker 15: that says something ridiculous and she's the most beautiful woman
Speaker 15: you've ever met. And then then he talks about like
Speaker 15: the last age is when you're you leave the bar
Speaker 15: and the sun's out and it's just, you know, you
Speaker 15: feel like you're walking on the surface of the sun.
Speaker 15: It's it's simply brilliant and neat and tidy and encompasses
Speaker 15: everyone who's had that regret.
Speaker 2: You know, did you get into bad situations habits when
Speaker 2: you're on the road before you got married?
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I mean, you know, the for me, I
Speaker 15: actually never really I went through a period where for
Speaker 15: about ten years I didn't I didn't drink or do
Speaker 15: anything because I you know, when I had a day
Speaker 15: job and I was taking acting classes and I was
Speaker 15: doing stand up at night, I would get sick once
Speaker 15: a month. So I was like, I'm just going to
Speaker 15: get rid of drinking, and so I you know, really
Speaker 15: I almost kind of started drinking when I got married.
Speaker 15: But I go through different phases. You know, now I'm
Speaker 15: now I'm I'm a bourbon drinker, and you know that
Speaker 15: would you know ten years ago that would never be
Speaker 15: the case.
Speaker 3: So have you gone on stage having been drinking? No?
Speaker 10: No, I can't.
Speaker 15: Really. I'm such a low energy guy that I can't
Speaker 15: really even eat that much before I go on stage
Speaker 15: because I'm so slow talking.
Speaker 2: He's Jim Gaffigan, the comedian, actor, writer, producer, author. Damn,
Speaker 2: that's a lot of things there, are you.
Speaker 3: Truly all of those?
Speaker 15: I mean, you know it's you know, you write a book.
Speaker 15: You know, it's like, am I an author? Or did I,
Speaker 15: you know, complain about my kids for one hundred?
Speaker 2: He is currently on his Everything Is Wonderful tour and
Speaker 2: you can also check out his new special The Skinny,
Speaker 2: now streaming on Hulu. How often do your kids your
Speaker 2: wife saying, hey, don't make this part of your act
Speaker 2: because things happen naturally at home where you go.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's there's no I mean, first of all, I
Speaker 15: never ask hopefully my kids would care more about if
Speaker 15: I posted a photo that they appeared in than me referencing.
Speaker 15: And I also have five kids, so when I reference
Speaker 15: a son, it can be one of the three sons,
Speaker 15: and or if I reference a kid, it can be
Speaker 15: one of five. So there is plause boll deniability for
Speaker 15: each of them. But you know when it comes to
Speaker 15: the wife, that's that's a different thing. And you know
Speaker 15: there is you know, you know the days of Henny
Speaker 15: Youngman like take my Wife. You know that you have
Speaker 15: to craft it in a way because you know an
Speaker 15: audience is savvy and and you know a guy complaining
Speaker 15: about his wife is considered hack and and people are
Speaker 15: suspicious of it. So but you can craft it in
Speaker 15: a way where you just kind of pile on yourself
Speaker 15: a little bit and then you can throw up, you know,
Speaker 15: something at your wife here and there.
Speaker 3: First comedian you saw and you said, that's what I
Speaker 3: want to do.
Speaker 15: I think I remember seeing Jonathan Winters on I think
Speaker 15: MERV Griffin or something like that. But uh, Yeah, there
Speaker 15: was something really funny about him. You know, it was
Speaker 15: all self contained and it wasn't The jokes were kind
Speaker 15: of hidden that I thought was really interesting, But I
Speaker 15: don't know, sometimes it's it's a blur, you know. And
Speaker 15: also being from Indiana seeing Letterman on TV, it just
Speaker 15: he was hit. Him and John Mellencamp were the only
Speaker 15: people that like were from Indiana that it seemed to
Speaker 15: do anything. Obviously it's not true, but like to the
Speaker 15: teenage met it was like, wow, those are the two
Speaker 15: guys that got out.
Speaker 3: What was it like the first time you were on Letterman?
Speaker 15: Oh, it's you know, it was you know, the business
Speaker 15: has changed so much, but it was the threshold of
Speaker 15: status among uh particularly New York comedians. But I would
Speaker 15: say comedians at that time it was, you know, the
Speaker 15: credit that everyone wanted because if you you know, the
Speaker 15: first ten years I was doing stand up. Obviously it's
Speaker 15: different today, but if you said you were a stand up,
Speaker 15: they would say have you been on Letterman or the
Speaker 15: Tonight Show? And if you said no, they kind of
Speaker 15: look at you like, oh, uh, you're crazy, you know
Speaker 15: what I mean? Or you're just saying that you're a
Speaker 15: comedian so it gave you legitimacy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then to hear Dave laugh if you're a
Speaker 2: stand up comedian, or if Johnny Carson brought the comedian
Speaker 2: over and you got to sit down next to Johnny,
Speaker 2: then you had made it like now, yeah, he had separated.
Speaker 15: You, absolutely. And I feel like I was the last
Speaker 15: one of my comedy peer group that really got a
Speaker 15: late night show, and it was Letterman, and I was
Speaker 15: invited over to sit on the couch afterwards, and I
Speaker 15: got a development deal. Dave and Worldwide Pants and Robert
Speaker 15: Att gave me a development deal, And that really shifted
Speaker 15: a lot of things, because if Letterman thought you were funny,
Speaker 15: then people in the entertainment industry were much more open
Speaker 15: to viewing you as talented, because it's the entertainment industry
Speaker 15: is so risk averse, Like we have this notion that
Speaker 15: people are discovered in soda shops, but like really that,
Speaker 15: you know, people try and eliminate any risk.
Speaker 2: Obviously, we'll have fun on the road. Jim Gaffigan a
Speaker 2: man of many hats. Well he's got one hat on,
Speaker 2: but he's a comedian, actor, writer, producer, author, and a
Speaker 2: football legend. The New Special The Skinny now streaming on Hulu.
Speaker 3: Thanks Jim, thank you so much, appreciate it. And that's
Speaker 3: Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 2: Jim, you know you've watched his act and you know
Speaker 2: he's not blue, by the way, which is refreshing. And
Speaker 2: he does bring out stories just being a day and
Speaker 2: five kids and all those things.
Speaker 3: So observational humor, Tom, that's what we're looking for.
Speaker 4: He's got the observation and the huge.
Speaker 3: Yes, you have the observation, you just don't have the humor.
Speaker 4: Right that in three dollars it gets you on the
Speaker 4: d trail.
Speaker 3: And you have you go blue when when you go bad,
Speaker 3: you go blue.
Speaker 6: Yes, I got embarrassed and frustrated, and then you're still
Speaker 6: saying curse words.
Speaker 3: Are you retired?
Speaker 4: I don't want to say retired. If I get the.
Speaker 3: Cars to do, we'd like to say retire.
Speaker 4: That's not nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, America would like to say you're.
Speaker 4: Mean on a Friday before we go to New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Okay, is there a chance maybe a pop up stand
Speaker 2: up routine in New Orleans.
Speaker 4: I haven't been working on anything, but.
Speaker 3: You weren't working on things before.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: I don't want to say never. It's anything because I
Speaker 6: enjoyed making people laugh, but I got to get the laugh.
Speaker 4: Point going to make people laugh. Don't just stand there
Speaker 4: on stage targeting.
Speaker 3: It's been a ten year break for you, it's.
Speaker 4: Been a long been a long hiatus for me.
Speaker 2: Dylan's done some research, which is shocking. But I asked
Speaker 2: Dylan the how do the prop with the over unders
Speaker 2: of appearances by Taylor Swift on camera count If she
Speaker 2: arrives at the stadium before the game or they show
Speaker 2: her after the game, does that count in the prop
Speaker 2: bet of over under five and a half appearances?
Speaker 9: So I reached out to our esteemed colleague Sammy P.
Speaker 9: Again okay, and he clarified it's during the game. So
Speaker 9: the broadcast start to finish during the game, the line
Speaker 9: is five and.
Speaker 2: A half and you're taking the over even though you
Speaker 2: wanted the under, but you took it for a pie
Speaker 2: to the face bet.
Speaker 9: Yep, I like the under, but I took the over
Speaker 9: look fifty to fifty odds more or less.
Speaker 8: And I'm a sportsman.
Speaker 2: By the way, Sammy P is a professional gambler. He
Speaker 2: joined us on the podcast yesterday. He had an interesting
Speaker 2: philosophy of betting. Early in the this week and at
Speaker 2: the end of this week, and then you can bet
Speaker 2: over the following week. Is that what his philosophy was,
Speaker 2: or was the other way around their deal?
Speaker 9: So do you want to if you want overs on props,
Speaker 9: take them early because I'm like conventional thinking as people
Speaker 9: lean towards taking the over on those bets.
Speaker 3: Okay, then later in the.
Speaker 9: Week, you know, even Super Bowl Sunday, take the unders
Speaker 9: once the lines have been joked opening.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a lot of great information Danpatrick dot Com,
Speaker 2: The Dan Patrick takes a Gamble and also Shye and
Speaker 2: Irving with his reaction to Brian Schottenheimer being named the
Speaker 2: Cowboys new head coach. And it's not safe for work
Speaker 2: if you're in the car with the family with kids,
Speaker 2: just letting you know, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 5: I heard a chunk of a betting show I'm not
Speaker 5: going to name names or networks the other day and
Speaker 5: the expert on air quoting said they hesitate on over
Speaker 5: unders until they know what the weather is, or for instance,
Speaker 5: they want to wait and see what's going on in
Speaker 5: New Orleans before they make their bet. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 5: this is clearly a joke and they were not kidding.
Speaker 5: They were waiting to see what the weather would be
Speaker 5: in New Orleans before making their over under bet for
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, double checking the games indoors.
Speaker 2: Well, if it snows again and the team has a
Speaker 2: hard time getting too the STAD, the offense, you know,
Speaker 2: can't do their walk through or something like that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you slip on ice or something.
Speaker 13: Good.
Speaker 3: Chris and Syracuse. I Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Hey? Dan?
Speaker 16: Thank you for getting me in. Hey, just quick comment
Speaker 16: on you Cam Newton talk. I like, I think about
Speaker 16: like everybody, I would rather have the Super Bowl ring
Speaker 16: and maybe for Cam, you know, an ancillary benefit or
Speaker 16: maybe for him would be the main benefit. If you're
Speaker 16: the quarterback of the winning super Bowl team, most likely
Speaker 16: you're going to get an MVP for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 16: And I thought it was interesting, not that it defines Cam,
Speaker 16: but one thing I always remember about him in the
Speaker 16: Super Bowl is kind of lack of enthusiasm going for
Speaker 16: that loose ball.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, is that the von Miller sacked Strip sacked Todd.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what that was.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, Tom.
Speaker 2: John and Wisconsin. Then we'll take a break. If you're
Speaker 2: watching on Peacock and why wouldn't you be. We'll go
Speaker 2: out to the Tragger Grills with our Philly cheese steaks.
Speaker 17: Hey John, Hey Dan, Happy to meet Friday. I just
Speaker 17: had one thing. You guys are over near Biloxi, Mississippi.
Speaker 17: There minor league team for the Brewers. My wife and
Speaker 17: I are expecting a baby in July, and I was
Speaker 17: hoping if it's a boy, to name him Yuker. Any
Speaker 17: thoughts on that or arguments that I can win with
Speaker 17: my wife?
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think middle name John.
Speaker 15: Oh.
Speaker 17: Okay, now now you sound like her, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But okay.
Speaker 2: The the one guy I know who had a name
Speaker 2: and I was shocked that he got it past his
Speaker 2: wife was Brad Johnson, who won a Super Bowl with
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, and he told us that he was going
Speaker 2: to name his son Maximus Johnson, and I went, there
Speaker 2: is no way she's going for that. Well, he named
Speaker 2: his son Maximus Johnson, and I think he's still quarterback
Speaker 2: in college. But yeah, Maximus Johnson.
Speaker 3: So give it a shot. Yuke, yep, Yuke.
Speaker 17: I like that. She said it sounds like Cucomers. So
Speaker 17: I don't know how we're gonna make it work.
Speaker 3: But all right, Thank you John for sharing.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break, last call for phone calls, what
Speaker 2: we learn, What's in store for Monday in New Orleans,

Speaker 3: a quarterback.
Speaker 10: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: The plot has thickened.

Speaker 5: weeks ago sports anger. I'm still angry by how Marcus

Speaker 5: ran for twenty five years old, seventeen and fifty nine
Speaker 5: yards League MVP. He never had a thousand yard season again,
Speaker 5: he was mostly healthy.
Speaker 2: Well, he crossed Al Davis and then he ended up
Speaker 2: in Kansas City, played.
Speaker 5: Like four more years, five more years for the Raiders
Speaker 5: and was used improperly.
Speaker 10: Well.
Speaker 2: He was a blocking back for Charles White at USC.

Speaker 5: one Houston. They got approval for the astrodome. Fritzy's Broncos
Speaker 5: ninety nine and one Super Bowl XXXIII yep, and two
Speaker 5: thousand and three, the Chicago White Sox announced the deal.
Speaker 5: They dropped the name Comiski Park after ninety three years.
Speaker 2: John Elway the oldest Super Bowl MVP that year, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: when they beat the Falcons, Elway was the MVP, so
Speaker 2: at the time he was the Brady Brady is the
Speaker 2: oldest MV pick correct, Yes.

Speaker 7: In the Bill's fourth and final Super Bowl, they were
Speaker 7: up thirteen to six at halftime, remember this vividly they
Speaker 7: might do it. It ended up being thirty to thirteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They did socialize a lot in Minnesota. They socialized a lot.
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't care. You know, you're out, you
Speaker 2: having fun. Maybe that's the way you guys always did.
Speaker 2: But it just felt like they didn't get cheated, that
Speaker 2: they were enjoying going to the super Bowl. Let me
Speaker 2: see Steven California High Steve, what's on your mind?
Speaker 17: I already know your answer to this, But.
Speaker 3: Would you rather Cam Newton?
Speaker 17: I think how he would answer this, would he rather
Speaker 17: win an MVP or win a super Bowl and be
Speaker 17: Super Bowl MVP?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean if you said I could be a Super
Speaker 2: Bowl MVP we won the super Bowl, I'd take that
Speaker 2: over a regular season MVP. I thought you were going
Speaker 2: to ask me what I take an individual Sports Emmy
Speaker 2: or a Dan Patrick Show's Sports Emmy, And it'd definitely
Speaker 2: be a Sports Emmy for the show.
Speaker 3: Definitely, Yeah, Mar But.

Speaker 2: why we stumble on the topics that we do, because
Speaker 2: and Shay's not drinking anymore. What he didn't do anything?
Speaker 2: Nothing not. There's no artificial there's no performance enhancing, there's nothing.
