Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Tuesday, Dan and the
Speaker 1: Dan x Dan Patrick Show. Chiefs handled the Ravens thirty
Speaker 1: four twenty Tampa Bay Lightning win The Stanley Cup Baseball
Speaker 1: playoffs begin today and tonight four games. Clippers have fired
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers. Welcome to the program. A lot to talk
Speaker 1: about the great comedian Keegan Michael Key will join us.
Speaker 1: Coming up Chris Mannix and Sports Illustrated. We'll try to
Speaker 1: explain why the Clippers fired Doc and would they make
Speaker 1: a run at Phil Jackson. That'll be coming up eight
Speaker 1: seven seven three d P show email address DPA, dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show say good
Speaker 1: morning to peacock or TV partner, and of course our
Speaker 1: radio affiliates, the Fox Sports Radio lineup number three hundred
Speaker 1: sixty two affiliates around the world. There mclovin. Poll question
Speaker 1: from the first hour, Okay, our one was are you
Speaker 1: jumping off the Ravens bandwagon? Fifty eight percent say new.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little too early to be jumping
Speaker 1: off their bandwagon. Now, if you're jumping off their bandwagon
Speaker 1: because you want to get on the Chiefs bandwagon. I
Speaker 1: certainly understand that. I don't think that's an overreaction. I
Speaker 1: think Kansas City showed last night they're just as good,
Speaker 1: if not better than last year's team that won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And when you add Clyde Edwards Hilaire, and
Speaker 1: that's just a difference maker. That is a huge upgrade
Speaker 1: at the running back position, and he runs, he runs tough,
Speaker 1: and he can catch the ball out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna blitz Patrick Mahomes, you better get him
Speaker 1: because if you don't, he's gonna torch you. And a
Speaker 1: good defense like the Ravens got torched. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: blitz him twenty times, he went seventeen of twenty with
Speaker 1: three touchdowns last night when you blitz him. Also, you
Speaker 1: know the one thing I was really curious about with
Speaker 1: the Ravens last year. They would always jump out on top.
Speaker 1: And I had Ethan, of course, who does the stats
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show, And I wondered, how many
Speaker 1: times did the Ravens get the lead first and what
Speaker 1: did they do in those games? Now, Lamar Jackson, in
Speaker 1: the games that he started, the Ravens are sixteen and
Speaker 1: two when scoring first. Last year. In twelve games that
Speaker 1: they scored first, they won eleven of those games. They're
Speaker 1: a front running team. They got caught. If you're not
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns against the Chiefs, then you're gonna lose. And
Speaker 1: they went down kicked field goal, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Chiefs started scoring touchdowns. And they don't
Speaker 1: have an offense that's a quick strike offense the way
Speaker 1: Kansas City does, although nobody has an offense that's like that.
Speaker 1: But the Ravens are a we're gonna run downhill, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get a lead, and we're going to continue to
Speaker 1: pile it on. And Kansas City last night, although you know,
Speaker 1: Baltimore made it interesting, I just didn't think it was
Speaker 1: as close as the final score would indicate. And if
Speaker 1: you had the over last night, sorry about that because
Speaker 1: it was fifty four and a half was the number
Speaker 1: from Vegas at kickoff, and of course they ended up
Speaker 1: with fifty four points. How do they do that? Like,
Speaker 1: how do they get it that close? Because you're factoring
Speaker 1: in things that happen that you know, the Ravens aren't
Speaker 1: going to be great offensively, you're gonna get a missed
Speaker 1: extra point by the Chiefs. The Ravens are going to
Speaker 1: be at the goal line and lose twenty yards and
Speaker 1: then go forward on fourth down and then get no
Speaker 1: points whatsoever. Because when I used to gamble, I didn't
Speaker 1: usually do an over and under. I easily just did
Speaker 1: the point spread. But the over under is where you're
Speaker 1: going with every possession. If you're on the under, you
Speaker 1: know you're hoping that they kick field goals or it's
Speaker 1: a three and out. But when you have the over,
Speaker 1: all you want is points. You don't care where it's
Speaker 1: coming from, special teams, doesn't matter. You want points. And
Speaker 1: if you would have said, hey, over under, it's fifty
Speaker 1: four and a half, the only thing I would have
Speaker 1: said is why did they throw that half in there?
Speaker 1: Like those half so the ones that always crushed me,
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you got to give three and a half.
Speaker 1: Can I give three? Hey fifty four and a half?
Speaker 1: Can I get it at fifty four? Yes? Boy? And
Speaker 1: the score was thirty four twenty with seven minutes ago
Speaker 1: into fourth quarter, Like, okay, someone's gonna grab a field
Speaker 1: goal here, the Ravens are gonna grab a field goal. Yeah, yeah, God,
Speaker 1: that's painful. That's painful, and that's Monday Night. Usually what
Speaker 1: happens is, you know, you put some money down on
Speaker 1: some college football games. Although I always found college football
Speaker 1: there were always a couple of teams that Vegas sort
Speaker 1: of forgot about, and you could put a nickel down
Speaker 1: on it and feel pretty confident that you would cover.
Speaker 1: And then you get to the NFL and all I
Speaker 1: try to do is single out one or two games
Speaker 1: that I thought that I could make some money on,
Speaker 1: and then if you didn't, and then you loaded up
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and I'd always take Monday Night home
Speaker 1: doll all the time. Good strategy, Yes, Monday Night home
Speaker 1: dog all the time. But if I just lost the
Speaker 1: over last night, and now I gotta wait a couple
Speaker 1: of days and I got the Broncos and the Jets,
Speaker 1: how do you bet on that game? Actually, how do
Speaker 1: you not bet on that game and watch it? Well,
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right about that, but but how do
Speaker 1: you go, Yeah, I know this is going to happen.
Speaker 1: Like the Jets are probably a couple points favorite. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing Nope, they're not. I thought they'd be like a
Speaker 1: two point favorite. I'm seeing three point dogs in New York.
Speaker 1: Three point home dog Jets. If I was gonna bet,
Speaker 1: I would take the Jets in the three. But I
Speaker 1: wonder if is that going to change? When the Broncos
Speaker 1: announced their starter, well that leads me to this. The
Speaker 1: Broncos have a really sad situation here. So they they've
Speaker 1: lost Drew Locke. Now he's got a shoulder injury. So
Speaker 1: the head coach Vic Fangio said that he's going to
Speaker 1: either start Jeff Driscoll, Brett Rippion Rippin against the Jets
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. They signed Blake Bortles to a one
Speaker 1: year deal that was less than a week ago, but
Speaker 1: they said that there's no chance that he's going to
Speaker 1: be playing and he's only put in a couple of
Speaker 1: practices here. But Driscoll started in the loss against the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: Ripping came in. That's Mark Rippin's son who won a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins, ripping eight of nine
Speaker 1: and an interception in relief. The matchup is Sam Darnold
Speaker 1: versus Driscoll, Jeff Driscoll or Brett Ripping. Coming up Thursday night,
Speaker 1: the Broncos with Jeff Driscoll meet the Jets and Sam
Speaker 1: Darnold somebody's got to win this god forsaken game Thursday
Speaker 1: night on the NFL network. That's why you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're the promo guy. And they say, hey, you got
Speaker 1: to really spice this up a little bit here, Like
Speaker 1: that's when you go, I can't that? Can I just
Speaker 1: do it? In my I'm disgusted with this matchup. Let's
Speaker 1: throw Elway in there. Yeah. Yeah, John Elway's Broncos, the
Speaker 1: Bronco president, John Elway. Unfortunately he's not playing, just four
Speaker 1: years removed from a Super Bowl time against Joe Namas Jets. Also,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing Thursday Night football next Yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: saw the promo for Sunday Night Football. Eagles forty nine
Speaker 1: ers next week is like um getting and they said
Speaker 1: getting back off the mats, And they had a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of promos of Carson Wentz getting hit and crushed
Speaker 1: and throwing picks, and they showed him getting up like
Speaker 1: the tough get up and get back in the game.
Speaker 1: And then they showed a bunch of forty nine ers
Speaker 1: like Mostert and Garppolo, who are hurt, like get off
Speaker 1: the deck. It's Sunday night, okay, but what do you
Speaker 1: do the Falcons against the Packers at Lambo next Monday
Speaker 1: Night on ESPN. How can they blow another double digit
Speaker 1: lead in the fourth quarter? Falcons Packers Monday Night? Oh Tom,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's your your job. They gotta say, somebody,
Speaker 1: is there any lead safe in Lambeau when they got
Speaker 1: to hype otup? Oh you got the Falcons against Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Packers. That'll be Monday night. What is
Speaker 1: the best matchup coming up this weekend? McLevin, it's Casey,
Speaker 1: New England. I think it's four o'clock in New England.
Speaker 1: I know it's in Kansas City. Yeah. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that'd be great, but maybe Casey short week. Did
Speaker 1: you ever look at that when you were betting, like
Speaker 1: Monday to Sundays. Yeah, yeah, usually if the team was
Speaker 1: on the road, if it's a short week and they
Speaker 1: went on the road. Call. This is bringing back I'm
Speaker 1: starting to get you know, sweats here thinking about betting.
Speaker 1: That was a bad beat last night, though, fifty I'm
Speaker 1: sure people who lost, I'm sorry. I've been there, and uh,
Speaker 1: I know we all have losses except for Floyd Mayweather.
Speaker 1: He's the only one that never had a loss. Apparently,
Speaker 1: but all right, so we got a lot of topics
Speaker 1: to dive into. Uh. The actor comedian Keegan Michael Key
Speaker 1: will join us coming up. There's so many skits when
Speaker 1: they did the uh all name team and and and
Speaker 1: they they they had the East West Bowl with Key
Speaker 1: and Peel And how this came up? I did not
Speaker 1: know that, Uh Peel. Jordan Peele came in one day
Speaker 1: and this was like on Monday, and he said, there
Speaker 1: is a guy named Brickish Shaw Ferguson and in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and uh he was I think he was playing Madden
Speaker 1: or maybe watched a game, so, uh, you know. Key
Speaker 1: says yeah, And then they started making up names and
Speaker 1: it was based off the Jets Lineman de Brickish Shaw Ferguson.
Speaker 1: And that's how they came up with East West. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: I remember when he was in studio. He goes, he goes,
Speaker 1: my man's name is, Oh, anybody else in the Ravens
Speaker 1: bandwagon with me here today? Did I lose everybody? Answer mclovin.
Speaker 1: I always say that the guys are we letter for
Speaker 1: netting this entire NFL season like people are. I feel
Speaker 1: like people are overreacting more than ever to one game. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think people are factoring in that we've had
Speaker 1: a pandemic, players didn't get to work out, and this
Speaker 1: is basically your preseason. But it's national TV, so we
Speaker 1: always we're gonna overreact on Thursday night to the Jets
Speaker 1: and Broncos because normally nobody's watching that game Thursday night,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a referendum on both of these teams, like, oh, Broncos, Man,
Speaker 1: it's uh, they're they're gonna end up with three wins
Speaker 1: and Jets are worse than I thought they were. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's what happens when it's a standalone game, yess mclovin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the Saints Packers. Now, the Packers are the NFC
Speaker 1: favorite everywhere. Yeah. Do you read power rankings ever? No? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Packers are one and two in like most peod
Speaker 1: it's chief Packers are most power. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: factor that. Give me. Give me about you know, six
Speaker 1: or seven games, then I think you can you can tell.
Speaker 1: It's just like college football. I don't know how good
Speaker 1: some of these schools are. If you haven't played or
Speaker 1: you played one game, I don't know how good you are,
Speaker 1: and you have a short window to prove how good
Speaker 1: you are. Our schools more likely to run up the
Speaker 1: score during the pandemic because if you're only playing six
Speaker 1: regular season games and you want to get some eyes
Speaker 1: on you, if you're playing in the Big ten, I
Speaker 1: gotta believe Ohio State and Wisconsin or whoever can run
Speaker 1: up score is going to try to put up some
Speaker 1: big numbers every single week. Yes, Ton, do you fly
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in for the big Bronco Jet game? Put
Speaker 1: them up in a suite. He's got plenty of time
Speaker 1: to get back to class and get back to Klipston. Maybe,
Speaker 1: you know, does the opening coin toss? One of these
Speaker 1: teams could be very interested in THATCHA. At what point
Speaker 1: do you start watching games differently if you're Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: Where you get to week like fifteen or sixteen and
Speaker 1: then you realize, I'm probably gonna be with that team
Speaker 1: and those guys next year. Because if I'm Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: I'm probably not watching much NFL right now. I just
Speaker 1: watched game film. I just prepare for you know, my
Speaker 1: acc schedule here. I don't want to get caught up
Speaker 1: in oh my God, the Jets are so bad. And
Speaker 1: I reached out to a source last night and because
Speaker 1: I was watching Patrick Mahomes play so well, and I
Speaker 1: reached out to a source who has a connection to
Speaker 1: Sam Darneld. I said, I feel terrible for Sam. I
Speaker 1: really do. I like Sam Darnold and I think he
Speaker 1: has the potential to be a franchise quarterback. He just
Speaker 1: you go to the line of scrimmage. He probably thinks
Speaker 1: I got to really make something happen all the time,
Speaker 1: and that that'll get you into bad habits here. And
Speaker 1: my source said, Sam, is I have to prove how
Speaker 1: good he is when he goes to another franchise. Yeah. Play,
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. I wonder if Sam Darnold
Speaker 1: is going to get a hall pass from the America
Speaker 1: and the NFL experts because it's the Jets and no
Speaker 1: one can overcome that franchise. Almost like where he gets
Speaker 1: a little bit of wig over. I'm like, well, it's
Speaker 1: not him, it's them. Yeah, but you're throwing picks sixes.
Speaker 1: It always feels like the pick six is on you. Now,
Speaker 1: it's not always the case. A receiver can run a
Speaker 1: wrong route. I also brought up Seattle's defense. Seattle's defense
Speaker 1: has allowed one thousan two hundred ninety two net passing yards,
Speaker 1: but only six touchdown passes. Russell Wilson has thrown for
Speaker 1: nine hundred twenty five passing yards but has fourteen touchdowns
Speaker 1: so far. Oh, they've given up a lot of yards.
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, historical. I don't think a
Speaker 1: defense has ever given up twelve hundred passing yards. Can
Speaker 1: we check McLevin with ethan? I don't think a team
Speaker 1: has ever given up twelve hundred passing yards through the
Speaker 1: first three games of the season. And they're undefeated. Pretty
Speaker 1: incredible because Seattle could have lost Dallas and could have
Speaker 1: lost New England. And look at the Titans. Titans are
Speaker 1: undefeated and I think their margin of victory is a
Speaker 1: total of six points. Yes, and let's not forget the Bears.
Speaker 1: That is as weak and undefeated as you're gonna see. Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: they're there, those three undefeated teams. The Bears should be. Well,
Speaker 1: I know that they're not better than the Titans of Seattle.
Speaker 1: They could they could be oh and three. I get that,
Speaker 1: but nobody cares about the Bears. Like bigger picture, the
Speaker 1: Titans are going to be in the playoffs, and Seattle
Speaker 1: will be in the playoffs. We're not gonna look back
Speaker 1: and go, you know, hey, but the Bears are a
Speaker 1: wobbly ten and six team here. I had trouble watching
Speaker 1: that Cults Vikings game when of all the games that
Speaker 1: were on, for some reason, that was my first time.
Speaker 1: I mean Titans the Yeah, the Titans fights Vikings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trouble with the whole AFC South right now. But
Speaker 1: you always do you rail against the AFC South all
Speaker 1: the time, but they always have one o'clock games. I
Speaker 1: think the schedule sort of fits that, and they get
Speaker 1: the bad Thursday night games. Uh. Well, I am curious
Speaker 1: about the Colts and I am curious about the Titans.
Speaker 1: You know that you have a new quarterback there with
Speaker 1: the Colts. We're talking about Drew Brees's arm strength. Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers has never had arm strength and he's still thrown
Speaker 1: for sixty thousand yards. Here. I just think watching the
Speaker 1: Saints from now on out, even with Michael Thomas. You know,
Speaker 1: I was talking to his source last night and said, look,
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is a short yardage guy. You know, he's unstoppable.
Speaker 1: You know, in that five, ten, fifteen yards. He doesn't
Speaker 1: go deep. They don't have a deep threat here. You know,
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is your deep threat. So even if Drew
Speaker 1: Brees wanted to throw deep, it's not like he has
Speaker 1: deep receivers deep threat receivers. And this is going to
Speaker 1: be an issue that you're going to have defenses that
Speaker 1: are going to keep creeping up on the Saints, creeping up.
Speaker 1: And Alvin Kamara is the one guy who is, you know,
Speaker 1: a game changer, and but you almost have to use
Speaker 1: him out of the backfield as that deep threat. But
Speaker 1: that's basically I'm gonna get the ball to you. Now
Speaker 1: take it fifty yards. But the Saints are going to
Speaker 1: have this issue the entire season because Drew's arm is
Speaker 1: nowhere near what it once was. That's just a you know,
Speaker 1: that's the fact. And he may not like hearing that,
Speaker 1: but they're going to nickel and dime you. But that
Speaker 1: defense has got to be a whole lot better than
Speaker 1: it was against Green Bay. Yeah, McLevin, why not just
Speaker 1: put Taysom Hill in then? Because Taysom Hill is not
Speaker 1: the answer or a quarterback appair. Okay, here you go,
Speaker 1: I will bet you a pie to the face. Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston starts a game at quarterback before Taysom Hill. Yes, boy,
Speaker 1: so whenever Drew Brees is replaced by choice or by injury,
Speaker 1: the choices Amos Winson not taste some help? Yes, anybody
Speaker 1: want to wager a pie to the face? No, no,
Speaker 1: seet No, how about you Todd, you big gambler. Well,
Speaker 1: I was thinking more about the if we could do
Speaker 1: something with the Broncho Jet damn too, spice things up
Speaker 1: Thursday night. What do you what do you like that?
Speaker 1: Let you set some odds so we can discuss. So
Speaker 1: you'll give me three and a half points, and I
Speaker 1: got the Jets. My instinct is that the Jets are
Speaker 1: gonna win by six. But because I'm a Broncho fan,
Speaker 1: so that I could root for them and avoid a
Speaker 1: pie to the face, I should probably do something on
Speaker 1: Denver's side. Yeah. See, I think it's more like we
Speaker 1: should do a contest than the loser of the contest.
Speaker 1: Has to watch that game, and you must take notes.
Speaker 1: You must you must write down every play in the game,
Speaker 1: like third and nine incompletions, brutal punt. You you have
Speaker 1: to log the game like you're a pa at ESPN.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. He is the great
Speaker 1: actor comedian, He Keegan Michael Key. He'll join us. Coming

Speaker 1: the Lions picked up a victory on Sunday. Do you
Speaker 1: want the Lions to do well or like they win
Speaker 1: when they're not supposed to win? Here? Key, right now,
Speaker 1: I do want them to do well. I've wanted them
Speaker 1: to do well since I was eight years old. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they were not supposed to win that game, which which
Speaker 1: I'm jubilant about. But the thing is that every season recently,
Speaker 1: the thing that you can hope the most for is
Speaker 1: if they play spoiler to somebody going into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's about as much as we've been able to. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's been That's where we've been finding our happiness. So
Speaker 1: I do want them to win. I would love it
Speaker 1: if we if we were in a position to not
Speaker 1: have the third pick. I'm very excited about our pick
Speaker 1: this year. About Jeff Okuda, his first interception this last weekend,
Speaker 1: which was very exciting, break it down, break it down here,
Speaker 1: but very early. I love that. But you know, when
Speaker 1: you start to the Lions are one of the great
Speaker 1: untold stories. They're you know, the Cubs ended up winning,
Speaker 1: like you have these franchises that have won. The Lions
Speaker 1: might be that last great story in the NFL. I
Speaker 1: think they are. I think I think they definitely are.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind being I wouldn't I don't. Even part
Speaker 1: of me says I'm going to be impatient, Like I'm
Speaker 1: going to be childlike and be impatient and say, oh
Speaker 1: I want the winning to happen immediately. But God, Dan,
Speaker 1: would I be able to savor what if I was
Speaker 1: eighty two? You know what I mean? You know when
Speaker 1: you see those stories, those those those news stories, there's
Speaker 1: the old guy with the walker and the tears streaming
Speaker 1: down his space, Like I never thought the Cleveland Browns. Well,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't mention the Cleveland Browns, but I never thought.
Speaker 1: We don't want to talk about something that's completely impossible.
Speaker 1: But but you know, I would love to be I
Speaker 1: I know, I didn't that mean that they're not even
Speaker 1: in the NFC leaving a lunge Keegan, but they wouldn't be.
Speaker 1: It would be great if I could just be that
Speaker 1: old man in the chair. It was like my old
Speaker 1: ball cap that's too big for my head, going we
Speaker 1: did it were, you know, surrounded by my grandchildren, that
Speaker 1: whole situation. I still I was just telling the guys,
Speaker 1: recreating that story that you told when you go in
Speaker 1: that Monday and Peel was either playing Madden or watching
Speaker 1: football or just somehow heard de Brickishaw Ferguson's name and
Speaker 1: how it was such a light ball there, like you know,
Speaker 1: I remember de brickish Shaw Ferguson it like Virginia, like
Speaker 1: I I'm so accustomed to those names. But here's you know,
Speaker 1: Jordan Peel, who's not a sports fan, and he's going,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. And then you're a sports fan, so
Speaker 1: you probably never looked at this and listen to this
Speaker 1: and went, oh, there's nothing. Wait, that's funny. That's a
Speaker 1: football name. I'm like, what are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: I think I even said to Jordan, I said when
Speaker 1: he said, man, how is there a dude named Brickish
Speaker 1: Shaw Ferguson? And I said, I say, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: first ball, I said, that's in the pros. Jordan, we
Speaker 1: haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg when you
Speaker 1: get to college. The names, and the funny thing is,
Speaker 1: to his credit and to his talent, he didn't even
Speaker 1: do any research when he wrote those. The rest of
Speaker 1: those names, he just made them up. The blueprint was
Speaker 1: Shaw Ferguson. I'm like, okay, don't we're gonna use the blueprint?
Speaker 1: That would be the one either that you know or
Speaker 1: a barkibious mingo. I mean all they needed to hear
Speaker 1: those two names, and he was off to the races.
Speaker 1: I got one for you. This guy plays a Kentucky
Speaker 1: PAULI Yeah, running back. Cavassier Smoke. His last name is Smoke. Amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with Smoke. Crevassierasier as in that he must
Speaker 1: have come out of the womb a very sophisticated looking
Speaker 1: baby Vasier, you know what I mean. And he's got
Speaker 1: a brother Hennessy. Oh no, of course now he does.
Speaker 1: I was joking about that. I believe when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, the big thing was that there were there
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood there were two kids named I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go the exact opposite direction on this, there were two
Speaker 1: kids named A and B. Johnson. They were twin and
Speaker 1: their names were A and B. And I'm like, you
Speaker 1: can't do that to a child. I had some rough
Speaker 1: names that I grew up with and that I can't
Speaker 1: even say. I'm on the show. Oh jeez, it's off color.
Speaker 1: And yes, but you know, you grow up and that's
Speaker 1: just the person's name. You don't even think twice about it.
Speaker 1: And then somebody goes, wait, you went to school with
Speaker 1: somebody name that right, right, exactly right, and I know
Speaker 1: its You just kind of think to yourself, Oh, that's
Speaker 1: just you know, that's that's Georgio or Georgio, not the
Speaker 1: not the craziest name I went to school. I went
Speaker 1: to high school. Now here's another one. I went to
Speaker 1: high school, um with a gentleman by the name of Ignacio.
Speaker 1: Great name. I thought that was a great name because
Speaker 1: it sounded like he should have been in an old
Speaker 1: Dickens novel. You all show hopeful, but you just call
Speaker 1: him Iggy or dude Iggy. Yeah, it's which is like,
Speaker 1: to me, one of the best nicknames ever. You know.
Speaker 1: It's also a good Detroit nickname. Is Iggy Pops from Detroit. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's right, And I have to I have to put in.
Speaker 1: I have to talk about it at least two to
Speaker 1: three people who are from Detroit on every interview. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you get in everybody you needed to get in?
Speaker 1: I think I got everybody in. Oh, I just have
Speaker 1: to say Barry Sanders, I just say randomly every time.
Speaker 1: He's Keegan Michael Keay and he's got a new podcast here.
Speaker 1: So are you working with Lebron's people on this? Yes,
Speaker 1: Cut cut the Clutch Media people. Yeah, that's that's who.
Speaker 1: They're one of the producers of of Drafted and so
Speaker 1: and and they're also repped by my agency, So we
Speaker 1: were we were collaborating working together on this thing. Have
Speaker 1: you hung with Lebron before? I haven't. I have, I
Speaker 1: have not even had the pleasure of meeting him yet.
Speaker 1: So well, how did you how did you get involved
Speaker 1: in narrating this where these are guys who are going
Speaker 1: to be drafted or the process of being drafted. The
Speaker 1: producers they came to me and asked me if it
Speaker 1: was something I'd be interested in. And I think they
Speaker 1: had already known that I had an interest in college
Speaker 1: football and in pro football, and the draft to me
Speaker 1: is always you know, I think April's always a great
Speaker 1: time to have the draft because it's right in the
Speaker 1: midst of all of your your yearning and longing for
Speaker 1: the new football season to start. It's so early, but
Speaker 1: it's it's long enough away from the Super Bowl that
Speaker 1: you're going to come on. Man, it's with all these
Speaker 1: other sports, now, when is the football coming? And so
Speaker 1: they they they they have been put together by my
Speaker 1: agents with me, and they knew that I liked it,
Speaker 1: and I said this, I'm in. I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 1: and I'd love to do this. And it was such
Speaker 1: a unique situation because you know, this year's draft took
Speaker 1: place during a very unprecedented time and nobody was in
Speaker 1: the same room. Everybody was in their individual bubbles. But
Speaker 1: our producers sent microphones to all these players and they
Speaker 1: got really honest, raw stories from these guys. And a
Speaker 1: lot of the time the guys would walk around with
Speaker 1: their mics on. Sometimes they didn't know the mics were on.
Speaker 1: So you've got really emotional moments with their family and
Speaker 1: their friends and talking to coaches on the phone. It
Speaker 1: was great, It was great, It was really We got
Speaker 1: lots of fantastic footage. What else are you working on
Speaker 1: right now? I'll go ahead. No, I was going to say,
Speaker 1: in that mind of yours, you're probably got a million
Speaker 1: ideas here, But how do you get those ideas then
Speaker 1: down into paper and then kind of see a project through?
Speaker 1: I am I always I'm like, I always work with
Speaker 1: a writer and a fellow writer. I always have to.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a partner person. So I had Jordan
Speaker 1: for years and now my wife is my writing partner
Speaker 1: and she's brilliant. But what happens is I'll come up
Speaker 1: with a general idea or what you do is like
Speaker 1: when you start getting into a creative process. You'll finish
Speaker 1: a creative process. The way that you start a new
Speaker 1: one is by what I just call opening up the antenna.
Speaker 1: So they open up the antenna to notice absolutely everything,
Speaker 1: and then certain things will spark for you. And then
Speaker 1: those are the things that you try to drop in.
Speaker 1: And I'm very much kind of a bigger idea of person,
Speaker 1: and I'll start writing down ideas, writing down themes, and
Speaker 1: then whoever I'm writing with we start to come together
Speaker 1: so that they can go, well, what about this line?
Speaker 1: What about that line? And they kind of helped me
Speaker 1: hone down that bigger idea into a more specific idea.
Speaker 1: So that's what I did. I did I did, did
Speaker 1: it with Jordan and did it with Elle, where I
Speaker 1: go what about this? And then they go And then
Speaker 1: what you do, Dan is you just kind of start
Speaker 1: playing off of each other so that you just keep
Speaker 1: distilling down that bigger idea until it gets to what
Speaker 1: you want it to be. And that's that's always That's
Speaker 1: been my process, that's been my process. I brought up
Speaker 1: to the Dane that I was watching a Key and
Speaker 1: Peel and you were playing a doctor and Peel was
Speaker 1: the gang leader and you're explaining in doctor's terminology about
Speaker 1: his mom is sick and she's overweight, and then you know,
Speaker 1: Jordan is firing back like you're dissing his mom and
Speaker 1: he It's like a rap battle going back and fourth
Speaker 1: and one of the great walk off punchlines of all
Speaker 1: time that we can't say, but like it was there.
Speaker 1: Ever did all the episodes get green lit? Like, did
Speaker 1: you ever have an episode that somebody says, no, you
Speaker 1: can't do them? No? We actually the Comedy Central it
Speaker 1: was very liberal about that. They allowed us to do
Speaker 1: pretty much everything we wanted. The biggest the funny thing is,
Speaker 1: the biggest issues we ever had with them was early
Speaker 1: on in the process of the show. I would we
Speaker 1: so badly wanted to do Star Wars sketches or like
Speaker 1: a Star Wars parody, and then one of the producers like,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, Star Wars, and I'm like, what do
Speaker 1: you talk about? Star Wars is our mythology. Star Wars
Speaker 1: is never not popular. He's like, it's popular Star Wars
Speaker 1: right now, should we do Star Wars. I'm like, there's
Speaker 1: only six Star Wars movies out right now, Let's no.
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, it's not in thee guys. But
Speaker 1: that was the only thing they ever fought us on
Speaker 1: were these Star Wars scenes. But the thing is we
Speaker 1: had scenes that we pitched a comedy Central Dan where
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, it sounds good, don't you don't
Speaker 1: you think it's a little don't know, that's a head
Speaker 1: Go for it, man, if you guys want to be
Speaker 1: on the edge. Yeah, we were just I thought you
Speaker 1: were gonna say no, okay, so I hear, and then
Speaker 1: you have to make it. Then you got to make
Speaker 1: the sketch. Um. So they were they they never ever
Speaker 1: pushed on subject matter. They were always like, go for it.
Speaker 1: Go for it. Jordan, I remember he had some trepidation
Speaker 1: about it. If you remember the slave Auction sketch. Yes,
Speaker 1: he was like, I don't know. I just wanted it
Speaker 1: because it was kind of an exercise. I wanted to
Speaker 1: see if I could do something that would make slavery
Speaker 1: funny or I could find a way to do that.
Speaker 1: And then we pitched it and you got nervous, and
Speaker 1: then they green lit it. They're like, go ahead and
Speaker 1: shoot it. And he was like, oh, but you know,
Speaker 1: it turned out to be one of our I think
Speaker 1: one of our more memorable sketches. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, Oh, didn't you have the kind of a
Speaker 1: rap battle between was it Malcolm X and Martin Luther King?
Speaker 1: And and you're trying to get the crowd on your side.
Speaker 1: Here I'm saying shocking things there, and you know, Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King's doing it his way, and then Malcolm X
Speaker 1: is doing it his way, and then yeah, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the next thing, I'm doing the worm,
Speaker 1: trying to get by the way the little Tidman. First
Speaker 1: time I'd ever done the worm, or attempted to do
Speaker 1: the worm. I just dropped to the ground. I'm just
Speaker 1: just trying to out do Jordan. And then the director
Speaker 1: goes cut and I get up. I go all right,
Speaker 1: first time I've ever done that in my life. And
Speaker 1: you have some ice from a back. Are you working
Speaker 1: on movies? Um, doing a TV show or like a
Speaker 1: limited series right now? For Apple Apple Plus, I'm in
Speaker 1: Vancouver right now and it's it's a musical. This is actually,
Speaker 1: by the way, my third musical. UM, my third musical
Speaker 1: in the last year. I've done two other than I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not allowed to talk about right now. But
Speaker 1: but I did, you know, I did. Like a lot
Speaker 1: of kids who are actors or drama geeks, you grew up,
Speaker 1: you do musical theater in high school and I did
Speaker 1: that for years. And I used to sing in a
Speaker 1: band and um. Somebody came to me and said, would
Speaker 1: you like to do this musical a year and a
Speaker 1: half ago, and I was like, yeah, that sounds good.
Speaker 1: I've been sung in a while, so that's kind of
Speaker 1: been a thing I've been doing recently, which has been
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. How often do you sing, like
Speaker 1: I sing? I sing a lot? Actually I sing, I sing. Um.
Speaker 1: But you were in a band? What kind of band
Speaker 1: were you in? It was? It was it was the
Speaker 1: nine it was the early nineties, and it was like
Speaker 1: a cover I was in a cover band. I used
Speaker 1: to perform at Grounds Coffee House on the campus of
Speaker 1: University of Detroit Mercy, my alma mater. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to Grounds Coffee House and sing, you know, like
Speaker 1: under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers in and
Speaker 1: I used to wear I used to wear I wore
Speaker 1: a T shirt that I can't say with the name
Speaker 1: that with the words were on the T shirt, but
Speaker 1: you know Dan, that whole deal. Like I wore a
Speaker 1: flannel shirt tied around my waist, but never actually wore
Speaker 1: the shirt just for remember in the Ladie vedder and
Speaker 1: the flannel shirt. But you don't wear the flannel shirt.
Speaker 1: You just have it there justin cakes, you know, Rady Seattle,
Speaker 1: in case your your wife or girlfriend needs you know,
Speaker 1: she's called the shirt right right there. I was in
Speaker 1: a I was in a two bands, but it was
Speaker 1: like Parliament Funkadelic were both bands, same guys, two different names.
Speaker 1: So one one band was called Uh Free Love Lemonade
Speaker 1: and the other band, the other band was called trip
Speaker 1: Master Monkey. Those were the name of course. What else
Speaker 1: did you ever meet? You know? George Clinton? I never
Speaker 1: met him, I've and I've always the I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: it again. The first two albums, the first two or
Speaker 1: three albums that Funkadelic ever released, were made in Detroit.
Speaker 1: They were recorded in Detroit. And but I always wanted
Speaker 1: to meet him, and I never have. I've seen him
Speaker 1: a concert a few times, but I've never met him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little atomic dog, you know you should be Oh yeah,

Speaker 1: The NFL's got a statement here on the Titans testing positive.
Speaker 1: Let me see, I'll have that for you after the break.
Speaker 1: I got this and from me. Yeah, here's the NFL
Speaker 1: statement on Titans Vikings facilities. Have that for you next
Speaker 1: back after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday
Speaker 1: morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app at FSR or dream us live on the
Speaker 1: Peacock app. Alrighty, got some games that are in jeopardy
Speaker 1: right now. Titans versus the Steelers, Vikings versus the Texans.
Speaker 1: Here's an NFL statement because there was a report that
Speaker 1: some of the Titans. A league source said to Diana
Speaker 1: Russini that she works for the Mothership. We're shutting Tennessee
Speaker 1: down until Saturday. That means no Titans coaches or players
Speaker 1: can be in the building. Following a report from Tom
Speaker 1: Pellicero from the NFL Network, three player positives, five personnel
Speaker 1: positives for COVID nineteen. According to sources, this is for
Speaker 1: the Titans. So the Titans and the Vikings they played,
Speaker 1: so they're going to suspend in person activities starting today.
Speaker 1: We haven't heard anything about the Vikings testing positive. Here's
Speaker 1: the NFL statement on the Tight and the Vikings on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, the Titans COVID testing results return three new
Speaker 1: player positives five new personnel positives. The Titans will suspend
Speaker 1: in person club activities starting today. Likewise, the Vikings who
Speaker 1: played the Titans on Sunday will also suspend in person
Speaker 1: club activities. Both clubs are working closely with the NFL
Speaker 1: and the NFL Players Association, including our infectious disease experts,
Speaker 1: to evaluate close contacts, perform additional testing, and monitor developments.
Speaker 1: All decisions will be made with health and safety as
Speaker 1: our primary consideration. We will continue to share updates as
Speaker 1: more information becomes available. So Titans are going to play
Speaker 1: the Steelers this weekend, but I don't know if you can.
Speaker 1: If you can't practice, and then the Vikings play the Texans,
Speaker 1: those games are in jeopardy right now. But you have
Speaker 1: three players that tested positive. We haven't heard anything about
Speaker 1: the Vikings right now, and we're on the air for
Speaker 1: another hour. In ten minutes or whatever we find out
Speaker 1: and will certainly pass along to you. I found this
Speaker 1: comment about this is Jerry Jones. Did you see the
Speaker 1: commenting out about Dak Prescott. Now this is from Clarence
Speaker 1: Hill Junior, who covers the Cowboys. Jerry Jones said, Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott not being able to pull off the last play
Speaker 1: of the game against Seattle is the difference between he
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes or even Tony Romo. They could have
Speaker 1: pulled it off. So that is probably from his radio show.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that he does on Tuesday. But that's according
Speaker 1: to Clarence Hill, who covers the Cowboys. But that's a
Speaker 1: surprising comment from Jerry about Dak Prescott that even Tony
Speaker 1: Romo could have pulled off that play, not just Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can get the audio from Jerry's
Speaker 1: I think he does his weekly radio show now that
Speaker 1: the season is underway. But wow, all right, yeah, Paulie,
Speaker 1: going back to the Titans situation, the Titans couldn't practice
Speaker 1: this week and couldn't play and show up to play
Speaker 1: or against the Steelers this weekend. How many options does
Speaker 1: the NFL half for postponing this game? The Titans and
Speaker 1: the Steelers don't have the same buye week, So I
Speaker 1: don't you can't kick that game down the road or
Speaker 1: I don't know how you'd kick that game down the road.
Speaker 1: And if you're the Steelers, do you ask for a
Speaker 1: win via forfeit? Because the Steelers have done everything right?
Speaker 1: The Titans have three players and you know, five personnel
Speaker 1: people who have tested positive. At least that's all they
Speaker 1: know right now. You know this is this is different
Speaker 1: than baseball because baseball they can make up some games,
Speaker 1: not every team played. They're required sixty games. But you
Speaker 1: were having double head letters as seven inning doubleheaders. You
Speaker 1: don't match up with your bye week to be able
Speaker 1: to reschedule this. What do you do if you're the NFL?
Speaker 1: Do the Steelers get a victory here? Do the Titans
Speaker 1: get a lost? Check with Florio on that if you
Speaker 1: can Todd just to see, you know, Peter King might
Speaker 1: be might have something on that, like I don't even
Speaker 1: know what is you know, the worst case scenario. You
Speaker 1: know that if you have players who tested positive and
Speaker 1: you know, how do you reschedule this game? Yeah, Clevin,
Speaker 1: did you say a long time ago that they planned
Speaker 1: some flexibility around the super Bowl date. They did, but
Speaker 1: would you add another week? What if there's many games
Speaker 1: that were canceled? Well, right now you have one or
Speaker 1: maybe you have two, and if you have two, then
Speaker 1: you you might look at that. But I if this
Speaker 1: is a standalone the Titans and the Steelers, I don't
Speaker 1: think you add another week and push the super Bowl
Speaker 1: back a week because of the Titans and the Steelers.
Speaker 1: Now Vikings and the Texans. We haven't heard anything as
Speaker 1: far as the Vikings. Anybody testing positive gas? The Vikings
Speaker 1: played the Titans. Yes, MC club, Why don't you just
Speaker 1: called a no game for both teams and do winning percentage?
Speaker 1: How is that fair to the Steelers? Steelers are ready
Speaker 1: to play this weekend, they're not. Well, that's how they
Speaker 1: I mean, that's sort of how they did it with MLB,
Speaker 1: And yeah, but I had a problem with what how
Speaker 1: MLB did it because ABE almost got all their games
Speaker 1: and only two teams in miss games. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: you were they were doing it whatever they could just
Speaker 1: to get to the finish line here, and I don't
Speaker 1: think they were fair to a lot of teams that
Speaker 1: you know, didn't have any issues. And then they have
Speaker 1: to do doubleheaders, and then they have to wait for
Speaker 1: this team, and then you know, I would have had
Speaker 1: forfeits with the Cardinals, the Marlins, some of these teams
Speaker 1: that you know at times made a mess of this.
Speaker 1: But we'll keep an eye on this. One more hour
Speaker 1: to go, we'll talk to Chris Mannocks. Clippers made a decision,
Speaker 1: was it the right decision? And is there a chance
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson would want to coach the Clippers. Mannos has
Speaker 1: some thoughts on that as well. Final hour coming up
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday Dan Patrick Show.
