Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's been a busy morning and Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: sighting at Lambo today. Simone Biles leaves the floor the
Speaker 1: team all Around competition, Team USA finished silver and Simone
Speaker 1: Biles left the floor did come back with an ankle wrapped.
Speaker 1: We do not have an update on that injury. Still
Speaker 1: waiting for a press conference to start. We do have
Speaker 1: verification that Aaron Rodgers is in the building at Lambo
Speaker 1: field flip flops, backpack man bun and an office T
Speaker 1: shirt the TV show The Office and he's got Kevin
Speaker 1: from the Office as his T shirt. Yes, poem, great
Speaker 1: catch by you. It's confirmed he has a Kevin's Chili
Speaker 1: T shirt on from the office. Good catch. So that's
Speaker 1: what we have right now, and still waiting to find
Speaker 1: out exactly what's going to happen with Aaron Rodgers with
Speaker 1: this contract. And I think this is a win for
Speaker 1: the Packers. If you would have said a week ago,
Speaker 1: a month ago, two months ago, Aaron Rodgers going to
Speaker 1: be there first day at camp, He'll be in the building.
Speaker 1: If he's a one and donner, Okay, you're one and done,
Speaker 1: Come on in let's see if we can win a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl here and we'll move on. After that, we'll
Speaker 1: talk to Matt Damon, got a new movie out. The
Speaker 1: Great Actor will stop by coming up a little bit.
Speaker 1: All NFL camps open. Team USA has not done well
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. When you start to look at the
Speaker 1: men's basketball team, women's gymnastics, even swimming. Katie Ladecki was
Speaker 1: a sure thing. Simone Biles was a sure thing. Team
Speaker 1: USA with softball I think lost to the gold medal
Speaker 1: game to Japan. There's been a lot of surprises here
Speaker 1: so far, really interesting so far. Eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: d P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at DPS show pull question McLevin, if you
Speaker 1: gave the Packers front office a mulligan for the offseason,
Speaker 1: what would you have done? Fifty four percent say they
Speaker 1: would have traded Aaron Rodgers, and then the next popular
Speaker 1: choice was to trade Jordan Love. Only twelve percent say
Speaker 1: they would have done exactly what the Packers did. I
Speaker 1: mentioned this at the top of at the end of
Speaker 1: the last hour that I had some baseball news Mark
Speaker 1: finesand he is MLB MLB dot Com insider. Okay, It
Speaker 1: remains to be seen if Max Scherzer will be traded,
Speaker 1: but a source said the picture quote strongly prefers the
Speaker 1: West Coast to waive his no trade clause. Given the
Speaker 1: state of the National League West, that would be a
Speaker 1: difference maker in the race if he ended up with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers Giants or the Pondres. Trade deadline a little
Speaker 1: bit later on this week. Yes, mclovin, I mean the talent.
Speaker 1: I know of the Trevor Bauer situation, but how many
Speaker 1: incredible pictures are going to flow through that Dodgers staff.
Speaker 1: It seems unfair for sures that all go there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: given the uncertainty of Trevor Bauer, you know, can you
Speaker 1: bring in Max Scherzer. I'll have college football news in
Speaker 1: a little bit. Has to do with Notre Dame's future,
Speaker 1: ACC also the Big Ten, and my source had some
Speaker 1: information yesterday. So still trying to sort through all of
Speaker 1: that before I bring it to your attention, probably a
Speaker 1: little bit later on this hour, if not at the
Speaker 1: top of next hour, but some information. What's Notre Dame
Speaker 1: going to do? What's the ACC going to do? Could
Speaker 1: you have teams from the ACC join the Big Ten?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things going on, a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts here. It feels like everything
Speaker 1: is in play. But I'll have that information for you
Speaker 1: coming up. Age seven seven three d P Show email
Speaker 1: address DP of Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at
Speaker 1: DP show and uh, let me see. So we got
Speaker 1: our poll question, play of the day, stat of the day,
Speaker 1: all of that, anything else that I've left out here.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need a secretary on this side
Speaker 1: to help me with the paperwork. But got our poll question. Yes, mccleman.
Speaker 1: This week is kind of unfair. There's like four hundred
Speaker 1: stories that all could be stories. Well, you got the
Speaker 1: NBA Draft coming up, trade deadline, Rogers shows up, Olympics,
Speaker 1: all training camps are opened up. It's wild wild. We
Speaker 1: say good morning to our radio partners. I mentioned I'm
Speaker 1: nominated for the Radio Hall of Fame. I want to
Speaker 1: thank Fox Sports fourteen thirty in Binghamton, w j R
Speaker 1: W and Grand Rapids and KWSN SU Fall, South Dakota.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your support. Once again, Tom Brady finds
Speaker 1: himself at the heart of a potential scandal. You know,
Speaker 1: nothing like Spygator to flake Gate. It's something more serious
Speaker 1: than that it's jugs Gate. Oh no, Todd, not what
Speaker 1: you're thinking. Brady put out a video of him throwing
Speaker 1: a football into an empty jugs machine that was the machine,
Speaker 1: then throwing it right back to him. It seems impossible,
Speaker 1: but with Tom nothing's impossible. Brady is shown he can
Speaker 1: do anything. A lot of amateur video forensics experts have
Speaker 1: gone over time and time again it's the football's apruder film.
Speaker 1: We'll never know for sure. It looks fake. We didn't
Speaker 1: see any of this in New England, but it's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun to see him try to make up
Speaker 1: for lost time. It is a great video though, where
Speaker 1: he's just throwing it right into the jugs gun, it
Speaker 1: stops and then it fires it right back to him.
Speaker 1: Of course it does. Yes, whoever he hired for like
Speaker 1: his social media team is just on fire. Has he
Speaker 1: even had that video where he threw the ball to
Speaker 1: the moon like that was pretty hilarious? Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: killing it right now, killing it. He is, absolutely, he
Speaker 1: has one hundred percent real. By the way, of course,
Speaker 1: it is. Everything with Tom is one hundred percent real.
Speaker 1: Mark Murray is the Packers president and he was asked
Speaker 1: yesterday about the Rogers situation, and how fans feel about
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Let's start with trying to resolve the Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers situation. I think fans are frustrated with a situation.
Speaker 1: I think they kind of a talks on both houses,
Speaker 1: us and Aaron. But you know, I think we've we've
Speaker 1: been in constant communication. It's obviously months, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that we'll have it all resolved. Share blame,
Speaker 1: that's good, you know, don't say you know, he's a
Speaker 1: complicated guy. Again, I think we don't need to do
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. We're going to try to resolve it.
Speaker 1: You know, both sides, you know, we both got to
Speaker 1: work through this. He also then talked about how fans
Speaker 1: feel about Aaron Rodgers. I do think our fans are split,
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of them that are
Speaker 1: just they want it resolved. I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: against the Packers or against Aaron. They want to see
Speaker 1: it resolved. And I know people know how good the
Speaker 1: player Aaron is, but I do think sometimes in these
Speaker 1: situations that's easy to forget. You know, what he's done,
Speaker 1: play it right down the middle, right down the middle,
Speaker 1: right down the aisle. That's how you have to play this.
Speaker 1: He's in the building. Let's have a press conference. Get
Speaker 1: it out of the way. Let everybody answer their questions
Speaker 1: the best that they can. Let Adam Schefter fill in
Speaker 1: the details from Roger's agent, and then you just go
Speaker 1: into training camp. Yeah. Pa, you know, some pr person
Speaker 1: with a packer said, use words like resolution, shared faults,
Speaker 1: you know, like the buzzwords that share everything. Oh, Willie,
Speaker 1: and Alabama joins this. Hey, Willie, what's on your mind today? Hey,
Speaker 1: I have a question for it. If Aaron Ridgers makes
Speaker 1: it to the playoffs and he meets Tom Rady again,
Speaker 1: he's he gonna go, oh my lord, him again. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know, Willie, Willie or won't he I
Speaker 1: don't know? Oh no, him again, Tod. Yeah, he might
Speaker 1: have other another response. I don't know than that, like,
Speaker 1: holy bleep, it's Brady again. Oh crap, Hey, this time
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to run it in for a touchdown. Yes, Tom,
Speaker 1: that's sound like something I wou have said. That made
Speaker 1: look a little sense. Maybe try to solvage it there,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Todd, good to have you back to back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody's here. By the way, say good morning to our
Speaker 1: TV streaming partner, and that's Peacock. Download the app and
Speaker 1: watch for free. Matt Damon's going to join us. Of course.
Speaker 1: The big pressing question is Rounders a sports movie because
Speaker 1: there's cards, poker, competition and a winner at the end.
Speaker 1: Matt Damon, Yes, he writes, so a poker. Are we
Speaker 1: saying poker as a sport? I'm gonna say no, it's
Speaker 1: a skill. So then are you saying Rounders is not
Speaker 1: a sports movie. I'm gonna say no, it's not. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna How about the movie Stuck on You where he
Speaker 1: and Greg Kneer are they're joined? Yeah, conjoint? Can joint?
Speaker 1: People love that movie. Yeah, and they play baseball there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he considers that a sports movie.
Speaker 1: That was that's such an odd movie to watch him
Speaker 1: and Greg knear Yes, you could bet on sports, but
Speaker 1: is any sports betting? Is that? Is that considered a sport?
Speaker 1: Is there any gambling of any kind that you can
Speaker 1: do that would be remotely considered a sport? Well, it's competition,
Speaker 1: but you know that's a big umbrella you open up competition. Yes, club,
Speaker 1: We got a tweet asking us if the following activities
Speaker 1: are sports. Okay, gymnastics yes, track yes, cycling yes, snowboarding yes,
Speaker 1: surfing yes, canoeing that one that's a little borderline. No,
Speaker 1: well wait if I take a canoe out or yeah?
Speaker 1: Is there a race? Yeah, but canoe he's getting awfully leisurely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say if there's a race involved in it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to upset the canoe community. Don't want
Speaker 1: them on you. You do not you know that? No?
Speaker 1: Remember back? Oh that's yeah, bag of ESPN. Yeah, see
Speaker 1: a canoeing. No, kayaking, yes, yes, absolutely with a kayak.
Speaker 1: No ball though, yeah, yes. I think you got to
Speaker 1: be careful when you declare something not a sport. You
Speaker 1: can have like levels of sport, like throwing darts, that's
Speaker 1: a sport. The physical demands of throwing darts or archery,
Speaker 1: which I like archery does not is not the most
Speaker 1: physically demanding sport because you're basically standing motionless. By the way,
Speaker 1: we got done with the show yesterday and I go
Speaker 1: to the other side and Paul is glued to the
Speaker 1: TV monitor, and I go, what's going on? He goes archery,
Speaker 1: he said, and he goes No, gold medal archery, and
Speaker 1: we watched I don't know, fifteen twenty minutes of archery.
Speaker 1: It was a walk off gold yeah, Korea, Yeah, ten
Speaker 1: and out Yeah. Yeah. It was intense. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was intense, but it was for PAULI. He's like, oh, ten,
Speaker 1: Oh god, he's at ten. If he gets a ten,
Speaker 1: it's a walk off. And I was like, you got
Speaker 1: a ten, it's a walkof They it's a walk off gold. Yes, mccleman.
Speaker 1: So I'll give it. It's a sport, but are those athletes.
Speaker 1: I did not see athletes behind those bows. I have
Speaker 1: to be honest, you have to be in shape for
Speaker 1: it to be a sport. I think maybe that's a component.
Speaker 1: I think you could make that argument. Yeah, but we've
Speaker 1: seen offensive linemen who don't look like they're in shape.
Speaker 1: We've seen golfers who don't look like they're in shape,
Speaker 1: baseball players who don't look like they're in shape. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: if they were a fans at attendance, how do you
Speaker 1: go about cheering on archery? That's one of those sports
Speaker 1: you know you could get it in the middle, get
Speaker 1: it in the circle, in the middle, Like, what do
Speaker 1: you say, to get to get behind an archer, to
Speaker 1: show that you're supporting them. Hit the target. Hit that
Speaker 1: even like cornhole thing, you know, get it in the thing,
Speaker 1: knock the guy's thing up. What do you say? That
Speaker 1: doesn't really interpret It doesn't look like every archer out there. Yes,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't. It doesn't open itself up to cheering. Well,
Speaker 1: you could applaud, there's nothing wrong. Remember when people used
Speaker 1: to just do that at a sporting event. They didn't
Speaker 1: have to yell at like in golf. Someone stupid yells
Speaker 1: get in the hole. So the archery gallery would say,
Speaker 1: what right before someone shoots their bow, get in the target.
Speaker 1: There you go. Yes, are we differentiating between like sport
Speaker 1: and competition. It feels more like an archery competition, but
Speaker 1: not a sport. I don't want to offend pauli this
Speaker 1: he just said. The other archers looked like Todd as
Speaker 1: a slam. I don't think you're gonna I'm aware of.
Speaker 1: Archery is one of those sports where you need almost
Speaker 1: no afficability. You need the skill of repetition and practice
Speaker 1: like golf. This says sport. The definition of sport an
Speaker 1: activity involving physical exertion. And skill in which an individual
Speaker 1: or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Physical
Speaker 1: exertions interesting physically right now? Is this pulling a bow
Speaker 1: back to shoot the arrow is more difficult than you
Speaker 1: think it is? Is that in a a physical exertion to
Speaker 1: make it a sport? I'm gonna I don't want to
Speaker 1: go down this road too late, what todd. Bowling is
Speaker 1: considered a sport by most people. And if you've seen
Speaker 1: some of the people that maybe not the professional bowlers,
Speaker 1: but you know, there's some people that aren't exactly doing
Speaker 1: sit ups and push ups getting ready for the bowling tournament.
Speaker 1: I watched bowling on Fox a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: with your host Rob Stone. Those fans are like, they
Speaker 1: yell throughout. It's not like it's quiet. They're they're they're
Speaker 1: really cheering. It's it's rowdy. It's rowdy. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. The great actor Matt Damon will
Speaker 1: join us. Got a new movie coming out. I got
Speaker 1: some questions here. How old is too old to be?
Speaker 1: Jason Bourne, m have that for you coming up fifteen
Speaker 1: after the hour. Take a break here on the Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. Playing golf today, got Mike Callaway irons ready
Speaker 1: to go. The Apex irons. You know I'm playing with

Speaker 1: As a new movie out got some good reviews, get
Speaker 1: an in depth look at the country's top gymnast and
Speaker 1: the Peacock original Golden, go behind the scenes with the
Speaker 1: athletes as they compete for four spots on Team USA's
Speaker 1: Olympic roster. The new Docuseriies Golden is streaming now. Sign
Speaker 1: up at Peacock tv dot com to get started. Any
Speaker 1: more information on Simone Biles, Paulie, I haven't seeing the
Speaker 1: press conference nothing. Usually the press conference they will go
Speaker 1: with the bronze, silver, and gold teams. They went the bronze,
Speaker 1: the Great Britain team to the press conference for gymnastics,
Speaker 1: then the Russian team who won gold went and so
Speaker 1: far the US has not gone up to do their
Speaker 1: press conference because we're trying to figure out what happened
Speaker 1: to Simone Biles. And is this just she took herself
Speaker 1: out of the team competition, and what's going to happen
Speaker 1: with the individual events here as well? Because she qualified
Speaker 1: for every event here. I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: a team meeting before you do the press, but I
Speaker 1: would say that's highly recommended. So everybody has an idea
Speaker 1: what that story is as they move forward. Is is
Speaker 1: something physically that's wrong with Simone Biles or is it mental?
Speaker 1: Because we heard both, Matt Damon will join us. I
Speaker 1: told Paulie how many sports movies has Matt Damon been in? Okay,
Speaker 1: we like to shoehorn movies. Okay, you know I got
Speaker 1: him as an uncredited baseball fan at Fenway Park for
Speaker 1: Field of Dreams when he was in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1: Now in School Ties with Brendan Fraser. Remember at the
Speaker 1: prep school. He plays the running back who loses his
Speaker 1: girlfriend to Brendan Frasier. Oh, but he was a pretty
Speaker 1: nice running back. Okay, had some fumble issues. Let's see,
Speaker 1: he fumbled his girl away in Goodwill Hunt. In Rounders,
Speaker 1: he plays cards. Yeah, in Invictus he's a rugby player,
Speaker 1: and in the Departed he's a cop. But he plays
Speaker 1: Rugby against the Fireman in the park in one of
Speaker 1: the scenes. I mean, that's it. Definitely knows Rugby depotted.
Speaker 1: I think that's all I got for sports related movies. Yes,
Speaker 1: and club Wait, Terry, did you say legend a bag
Speaker 1: of vance? Is that right? Yeah? That's a big time yeah, golfer.
Speaker 1: But do people like that movie though, I've never gotten
Speaker 1: a clear read on whether golfers respect that movie. Well,
Speaker 1: they have a problem with Tin Cup because you know
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner, He's going to continue to hit balls in
Speaker 1: the water there and and some golfers have a little
Speaker 1: bit of a problem. But that has happened before. You've
Speaker 1: had guys who have put up big numbers and uh,
Speaker 1: but when Costner did it, I think people had a
Speaker 1: problem with that. Yes, Ton, mister, Matt Damon has just
Speaker 1: joined Matt Damon has just joined us. I'm just looking
Speaker 1: at your bio, Matt. How many sports movies have you
Speaker 1: been in? Oh? I don't know, um, off the top
Speaker 1: of my head, Like there was the Rugby one, there
Speaker 1: was Invictus. Um. I don't know, Man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're looking at my bio, you'll probably have a better idea.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many movies I've done, I've probably
Speaker 1: done more than fifty. So all right, UM, I got
Speaker 1: you as an extra in Field of Dreams. That's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ben and I were extras in that actually just to
Speaker 1: just to go to Fenway. Uh, we were extras in
Speaker 1: Field of Dreams. Like there were probably three thousand extras
Speaker 1: in a big crowd scene when Kevin Costner and James
Speaker 1: Earl Jones are at the baseball game. But how old
Speaker 1: are you? Do you get to talk to Constner? You
Speaker 1: know what we did when Costner came out and hung
Speaker 1: out with the extras, um and uh and we Ben
Speaker 1: and I went and struck up a conversation with him. Um,
Speaker 1: and he probably gave us five minutes. Like he was
Speaker 1: incredibly uh generous. Did you did you pitch a movie?
Speaker 1: Did you do your elevator pitch? No? No, no, no no.
Speaker 1: We just told him, We told him we knew we
Speaker 1: wanted to be actors. I was probably seventeen and Ben
Speaker 1: was probably fifteen, and we were we were already traveling
Speaker 1: to New York and auditioning and uh, you know we
Speaker 1: were like we have agents, and uh he was really
Speaker 1: you know, he was great. He was you know It's
Speaker 1: like these two kids who were like, you know, and
Speaker 1: it happens to me all the time. People come up,
Speaker 1: you know, kids come up and they're like, I'm really,
Speaker 1: I'm I want to be an actor, and it's like fantan,
Speaker 1: good for you, man, like go get them school ties.
Speaker 1: You were running back, you had fumble issues. Yeah, I did,
Speaker 1: I did. I mean, it's it's prep school football in
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty five. We were running out of a wing
Speaker 1: te So I don't think it was like a very
Speaker 1: serious sports movie. But we did go and uh and
Speaker 1: and practice like a month early, like they wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that um, you know that that that we
Speaker 1: that we knew what we were doing. And then you
Speaker 1: lost your girlfriend. Brendan Frasier, Listen, it can happen. It's
Speaker 1: an occupative. Brendon's a great guy. You're not the first
Speaker 1: guy to lose a girl to Brendan Frasier. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: doubt I am the first guy to lose a girl
Speaker 1: to Brendon. Is Rounders a sports movie? That's a good question.
Speaker 1: I mean you probably have to ask professional poker players.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they would tell you it's a sport.
Speaker 1: Um but uh, but uh, I mean, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's yeah, they I would say, I mean just the
Speaker 1: architecture of the script. Yes, it's a sports movie, like
Speaker 1: it's it's exactly how you would design it if we
Speaker 1: were wrestling or playing basketball. So so, and in that sense,
Speaker 1: it's a sports movie. Who's more complicated or maybe interesting?
Speaker 1: John Malkovich er Ed Norton, Listen, those are two of
Speaker 1: our best actors, you know on the you know, two
Speaker 1: of the best that our country has produced. So I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say either is less complicated than the other. They're
Speaker 1: both great guys, and they're both a lot of fun
Speaker 1: to work with. Um, they're both very serious, but they
Speaker 1: both work out of a place of total joy and
Speaker 1: they want it to be fun. So uh so, No,
Speaker 1: I couldn't really draw a distinction between them. Let me
Speaker 1: give you the official introduction here. He's Matt Damon, actor, producer, screenwriter,
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady apologist. It says here as apologist, I
Speaker 1: don't apologize anything. Listen, I love that guy. I make
Speaker 1: no apologies. Okay, if the Bucks played the Patriots in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, who would you root for? Tom Brady? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, all the movie is called Stillwater opens in
Speaker 1: theaters this Friday. And so you're you're a guy from Oklahoma, Stillwater,
Speaker 1: you travel to France, your daughter is there in prison.
Speaker 1: Now let me do this. Let me see if I
Speaker 1: can do the connect the dots. Abigail Breslin is your daughter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Abigail Breslin played in Little Miss Sunshine. She was the star.
Speaker 1: Greg Kinnear played in Little Miss Sunshine as her dad.
Speaker 1: You guys played Stuck on You the Filey Brothers, and
Speaker 1: then you met your wife when you were doing that movie.
Speaker 1: How did I do You got everything right? Okay? Well
Speaker 1: that's it. That's taught. Nothing else to talk about there, Manu,
Speaker 1: How do you nail an action? How do you know when? Okay,
Speaker 1: I got that Oklahoma accent? Uh, well, it's it's tough.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to you got to spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time with it. I went down I actually
Speaker 1: worked a lot in Texas when I was in my twenties.
Speaker 1: Just a lot of the movies I got were down there.
Speaker 1: So I lived down in that part of the world
Speaker 1: quite a bit and love it down there, and so
Speaker 1: I kind of I remember the rhythm and the cadence
Speaker 1: and how people talk. But but you know, this was
Speaker 1: a very specific place and a very specific type of
Speaker 1: guy is a roughneck UM. And so I just went
Speaker 1: down to Oklahoma and hung out with those guys, UM
Speaker 1: And that's usually the best way to do it. And
Speaker 1: I also have a dialect coach, Tim Monich, who I
Speaker 1: you know, we can we can analyze and sit there
Speaker 1: and write down on paper exactly what's happening. But the
Speaker 1: best way to do it usually is to listen. Tim
Speaker 1: will have on file a lot of different voices and
Speaker 1: a lot of different and and we'll just listen and
Speaker 1: and and and just start to get into the uh.
Speaker 1: You know, you kind of buy osmosis. You eventually eventually
Speaker 1: pick it up. But but you you do some technical
Speaker 1: work so you understand what's happening. But there's no there's
Speaker 1: no substitute for just going there and hanging out. But
Speaker 1: when you go to hang out, how long does it
Speaker 1: take for the locals to allow you to kind of
Speaker 1: absorb whatever you're absorbing. Yeah, that's a good question, because
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we got down there and those
Speaker 1: guys were understandably wary of us. You know, they're like,
Speaker 1: what do you like Hollywood? Like liberal? What are you
Speaker 1: doing down here, like making a movie about a roughneck
Speaker 1: Like what what what are your intentions? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, and uh and I think it.
Speaker 1: You know, once they realized, like we you know, we
Speaker 1: we were just trying to get it right. And uh.
Speaker 1: And this is a movie that has a lot of
Speaker 1: empathy and compassion for this character that I play. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a movie about this journey this guy goes on.
Speaker 1: So the once, you know, they once they realized that
Speaker 1: that we weren't there to poke fund at him or anything,
Speaker 1: that we were there to really you know, to get
Speaker 1: it accurately. They they were incredible and and really brought
Speaker 1: us in. I mean, you know, it's one of the
Speaker 1: great things about my job. I get to like parachute
Speaker 1: into somebody else's life who's like, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: that roughneck culture in Oklahoma is so different from you know, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: where I grew up, you know, I mean really it's
Speaker 1: like it's like a different world. And and I can't
Speaker 1: get it right unless unless those guys let me come
Speaker 1: in and and and and see see what their life
Speaker 1: is like. And uh and and and and talk to
Speaker 1: him about it and gather information and they just were
Speaker 1: They just could not have been more helpful. Do you
Speaker 1: sprinkle in McConaughey type accent, like accidentally his accent is
Speaker 1: a little softer than than than the one in this movie. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and and I mean Matthews, you know, Matthew
Speaker 1: can can play it up or down. Matthew actually can
Speaker 1: do a perfect impression of me. Um, because I was
Speaker 1: you know, when we did Interstellar together. You know, he
Speaker 1: was like, all right, you do this impression to me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I just found out that
Speaker 1: like my voice could sound like yours if I just
Speaker 1: dropped down a little bit and went south. And he
Speaker 1: and I'm like, if you come up and go north,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll you'll get me perfectly. And he started doing it.
Speaker 1: We were in a van in Iceland and I was crying.
Speaker 1: I was like because he's like he's perfect, but he
Speaker 1: but he was like, I need a catch phrase. I
Speaker 1: need a catchphrase for you, because because I would do like,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm gonna take my shirt off, you know,
Speaker 1: and like you And he's like, he's like, you have
Speaker 1: a catch phrase. I need a catchphrase. So we got
Speaker 1: to come up with a catchphrase for Matthew and then
Speaker 1: and then you can hear could he fool your wife?
Speaker 1: We have a similar vocal quality in a certain like
Speaker 1: if we if we aim at it like we we could.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he could over the phone, Uh fool her? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, bagger Van So I forgot to
Speaker 1: mention that another sports movie. Okay, well you had to
Speaker 1: bring it up. Wait, you're not You're not all in
Speaker 1: on bagger Vans. No, well listen, I I love the experience.
Speaker 1: I love you know, Robert Redford and Will and Charlie's
Speaker 1: and like you know that that the experience was great.
Speaker 1: And I learned how to play golf. But I've never
Speaker 1: picked up a golf club before that movie. I grew
Speaker 1: up in a city and I picked up and I
Speaker 1: so that I look at that movie and cringe when
Speaker 1: I look at my my my golf swing. But to
Speaker 1: be fair, I look at my golf swing and cringe today.
Speaker 1: So we had an idea for Funny or Die. Let's
Speaker 1: say you go to some place in Europe and you
Speaker 1: just start running and jumping into a car and you
Speaker 1: have some guy who's chasing you. People is people will
Speaker 1: think that there's another Born movie being shot, like you
Speaker 1: just do it out of nowhere. You just start running
Speaker 1: down the street. Yeah, and just jump into like a
Speaker 1: smart car or somebody. Yes, yeah, you gotta get me
Speaker 1: out of here right now. We gotta move, We gotta
Speaker 1: move right yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it might work. I
Speaker 1: also might get like like hit in the head with
Speaker 1: a hammer. You could, you could, you could. But it'd
Speaker 1: be funny or Die. That'd be the die part of it.
Speaker 1: It would, it would. It's actually the first skit that
Speaker 1: for Funny or Die. How old is too old to be?
Speaker 1: Jason Bourne? Uh listen, if there's a good story, it's
Speaker 1: you know, you're never too old to be that guy,
Speaker 1: you know. And I you know, look, eventually, I mean
Speaker 1: I would love to do another one and and uh
Speaker 1: you know, and and at some point I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to pass it on, you know. I would love to
Speaker 1: figure out a way to hand it off to somebody, um,
Speaker 1: you know, a man or a woman, I mean know,
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, to you know, as if
Speaker 1: that name is uh, you know, use and it can
Speaker 1: be anybody right like um so uh but but but
Speaker 1: we gotta come up with it's got to be good.
Speaker 1: I I just you know, I love those movies. I
Speaker 1: you know, we all there are a lot of really
Speaker 1: great friends of mine who put a lot into those
Speaker 1: and we don't want to mess it up, so so
Speaker 1: if we do, it's got to be good. What was
Speaker 1: the stunt you did in any of the Born movies
Speaker 1: where you look back and go, what the hell was
Speaker 1: I thinking? I think on the first one, I climb
Speaker 1: when I climb out down the embassy in Prague. I
Speaker 1: remember shooting that, and um, I was in a harness
Speaker 1: on the side of this building and it was it
Speaker 1: was a particularly cold day in the winter in Prague,
Speaker 1: so let's say it was like minus ten and I
Speaker 1: was so cold, and I'm hanging on this thing and
Speaker 1: I'm a couple of hundred feet up in the air
Speaker 1: and trying to grip this wall. And I just remember,
Speaker 1: and I was about twenty nine, thirty years old, and
Speaker 1: I was like, what am I doing? This is crazy?
Speaker 1: But but the sequence is great. It was worth it.
Speaker 1: And Matt wants everybody to know that this new movie
Speaker 1: Still Water has gotten great of you standing ovation it.
Speaker 1: Uh con right, yeah, can con Yeah, Yeah, it was,
Speaker 1: it was. It was great and uh and um it
Speaker 1: was also the first time i'd been in a movie
Speaker 1: theater in you know, almost two years, and so so
Speaker 1: I got I got oddly emotional. I was like, I
Speaker 1: got choked up and I kind of snuck up on me. Um,
Speaker 1: but uh, but it was it felt great to be
Speaker 1: in a movie theater again. You know. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: so I mean, look, I'm I'm I'm like everyone else,
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of this COVID thing. I you know,
Speaker 1: it's like I can't get back to normal life fast enough.
Speaker 1: But you know, I know it's gonna. I know we're
Speaker 1: Delta variant and all that stuff and we're dealing with it.
Speaker 1: But but uh, I mean, I miss hanging out with people.
Speaker 1: But also, and you want people to know this isn't
Speaker 1: like Liam Neeson and Taken because people like right, because
Speaker 1: it feels like, oh, somebody's going over to someplace in
Speaker 1: Europe to get his daughter back. Yeah, thank you for
Speaker 1: bringing that up, man, because it particularly for like people
Speaker 1: who listen to this show, which I do. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: the movie might look like one of those movies because
Speaker 1: the setup is like that, right, you know, his daughter
Speaker 1: is in jail. He you know, he you know, it's
Speaker 1: like one of those things, and uh, it's it's you're
Speaker 1: expecting that kind of Liam Neeson hero or Jason Bourne
Speaker 1: for that matter, to come in and and you know,
Speaker 1: kick some ass and have the have the skill set
Speaker 1: to kind of solve all the problems. This is decidedly
Speaker 1: not that movie. It's this is a movie about a
Speaker 1: real dude, a real like a roughneck who's in that situation,
Speaker 1: who comes over and he's he's his daughter's five years
Speaker 1: into a you know, this sentence for a crime that
Speaker 1: she didn't commit, and he's he's been an absentee dad.
Speaker 1: It's all. He's been a he's been a he's been
Speaker 1: a he's messed up this relationship, and he's trying to
Speaker 1: repair the damage that he's done with his you know,
Speaker 1: by his failure years and he's doesn't have the skill
Speaker 1: set and he doesn't have you know, and he's just
Speaker 1: doing his level best to help his daughter. And so
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's much more of a drama
Speaker 1: than a thriller. So just anybody listening to it, if
Speaker 1: you go there expecting like any kung food, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be sorely disappointed. Us. It's it's a movie about real people.
Speaker 1: Where are you right now? But who came up with
Speaker 1: the background there in that room? I mean, I'm in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: New York. I'm at the one hotel where they're doing
Speaker 1: this press junket and uh yeah, look at these there's
Speaker 1: jars of I don't know what those are. What is that?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's what hipsters do. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn, don't you. I do. I live down
Speaker 1: the street. But I didn't want to do this in
Speaker 1: my house. I got a church and state man, I
Speaker 1: got a you know, to keep these things separate. Five
Speaker 1: years ago today was the last time we had you on.
Speaker 1: Is it really that long? Five years ago today? Where
Speaker 1: the hell of you? Did you get too big for us?
Speaker 1: Because if you do, clearly not. Okay, now you're crawling back.
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew it for a little dp in
Speaker 1: my life. And I think that you called in and
Speaker 1: you you called in eight years ago from your home
Speaker 1: in Miami, and PAULI picked up and he said, oh,
Speaker 1: you're calling from Miami, and you go. I thought my
Speaker 1: number was blocked. And we had called our idea idea,
Speaker 1: and you asked Paully, my producer, Hey, how do I
Speaker 1: how do I get this blocked, this number, Paul He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Don't you have like agent, don't you
Speaker 1: have people who help you with this stuff. That's really
Speaker 1: funny because I still have the same number and it's
Speaker 1: and it's blocked, and everybody complains like if if I
Speaker 1: FaceTime someone like, I knew it was you because it
Speaker 1: was blocked. I don't know how it got blocked, and
Speaker 1: I didn't remember that. So maybe maybe Pauli's the one
Speaker 1: who told me how to block it night and that
Speaker 1: was the genesis of all of it. PAULI used to
Speaker 1: have match number done and I can't deny her. No,
Speaker 1: say it to him and then he'll see if it's
Speaker 1: true or not. I don't want to turn to Jason
Speaker 1: Bourne on me. I've got I've got my phone on me.
Speaker 1: Just just just text that number, Just text Matt and
Speaker 1: just say is this your number? Hey? Good luck with
Speaker 1: the movie and um and you know, don't wait another
Speaker 1: five years. I don't want to, man, Okay, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I gotta ben and I have this movie, The Last Duel,
Speaker 1: coming out in October. I'll come back and talk to
Speaker 1: you in a couple of months. That would be great. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's great to talk to you again, and thank you. Matt.
Speaker 1: Go Bucks, go Tom. That's uh, Matt Damon. The movie
Speaker 1: is called Stillwater opens in theaters July thirtieth, and by
Speaker 1: all accounts, he got great reviews there. You know. It's
Speaker 1: one of those where I tell the actor, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go see that movie. That's one that I'll go see.
Speaker 1: But H, Matt Dame, good dude. All right, we'll take

Speaker 1: fun there, all right. Some phone calls Carl in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Hey Carl, what's on your mind today? Dan, Dan, It's
Speaker 1: good morning. First time, hopefully not the last time. You know,
Speaker 1: one of the beautiful things you've always said about Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers over the years is that he is a player
Speaker 1: that you've said is the easiest to play the position,
Speaker 1: or makes it look the easiest to play the quarterback position. Yes,
Speaker 1: the question is who is he throwing to? Jeff Janis,
Speaker 1: Jake Kumero, how about five touchdowns, Sir, Robert Tuny isn't
Speaker 1: part of his lore, his poetic play, the fact that
Speaker 1: he doesn't need Well, what if we got this guy?
Speaker 1: What if we got that guy? Because maybe you don't
Speaker 1: have an Aaron Jones. So instead of just being so
Speaker 1: divisive on oh, they could have gotten this, It could
Speaker 1: have gotten that. Let's enjoy embracist. Last year, we barely
Speaker 1: get baseball, So to get this news I think in perspective,
Speaker 1: and I would love to hear yours on something like
Speaker 1: this where yeah, that's how Green Bay's always been, back
Speaker 1: to Gil Trader, Antonia Freeman, Robert Brooks. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: you made the point Rogers does make others better. But
Speaker 1: then a lot of quarterbacks do. Brady did that for
Speaker 1: years Where you went, who is this guy? I mean,
Speaker 1: Troy Brown was not a household name. David Patton, like
Speaker 1: there are guys where you go, who are these guys? Now?
Speaker 1: He did have Gronk Hernandez. You know that you got
Speaker 1: Gronk in the second round because they didn't know if
Speaker 1: his back would hold up. Hernandez was what fourth round.
Speaker 1: He obviously had off the field issues, but you know
Speaker 1: he did have Randy Moss. You saw what he did
Speaker 1: with Randy Moss. Where you go, We're gonna give you
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame wide receiver. You saw what he did.
Speaker 1: I mean Julian Edelman. Who would have thought nobody West
Speaker 1: Welker not a household name. Yeah, MC club. When you
Speaker 1: look at the top receiver is there are very few
Speaker 1: first rounders in there. It's all second round and beyond
Speaker 1: guys like Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs. Yeah, you know Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 1: Top ten receivers last year was dominated by lower round guys.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a reason for that. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of it is this system, like finding the
Speaker 1: right guy for this system. And I know mccluban always
Speaker 1: brings up system quarterbacks. Rodgers isn't a system quarterback. He
Speaker 1: has his own system. Peyton Manning had his own system.
Speaker 1: Now you could say Brady U is a system quarterback
Speaker 1: with the system being this is what Belichick wants to do.
Speaker 1: But a lot of these quarterback far of one in
Speaker 1: a system quarterback. I didn't think Elway was his system quarterback.
Speaker 1: Montana was his system quarterback. Yeah, I'm the club. Well, wait,
Speaker 1: like there's no system that can have an arm like
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, like you can't plan right because he's so
Speaker 1: uniquely talented. Yeah, but the same way with Elway. I
Speaker 1: think Elways as talented as anybody I ever saw play
Speaker 1: the position. And there were so many times when it
Speaker 1: felt like the Broncos were, hey, John, can you help
Speaker 1: us out here? It's almost like what Seattle has done
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. Now they gave him some weapons now,
Speaker 1: but we didn't know what Dk Metcalf was going to
Speaker 1: turn into. Or Tyler Lockett. I mean, these aren't top
Speaker 1: ten wide receivers, and sometimes you put that pressure. Travis
Speaker 1: Kelsey will probably go down as the greatest tight end
Speaker 1: in history. Tyreek Hill is going to go down as
Speaker 1: one of the more dangerous wide receivers deep threats that
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in the history of the game. You
Speaker 1: give that to Patrick Mahomes, that's pretty good start. Not
Speaker 1: every quarterback has that start. Montana had Jerry Rice. We
Speaker 1: didn't know what Jerry Rice was. John Taylor was a
Speaker 1: wonderful player as well. You know certain players certain team
Speaker 1: Bradshaw had Lynn Swan and John Stalworth Hall of famers there.
Speaker 1: Now were they going to be Hall of famers if
Speaker 1: they went else where. I mean that's that's also a
Speaker 1: different argument that you can have. Yeah, mclub and coaches too,
Speaker 1: I mean Andy Reid, Bill Walsh. Yeah, that was kind
Speaker 1: of Guys. Do you think DeVante Adams is do you
Speaker 1: think he could eventually be exposed without Aaron Rodgers? Like,
Speaker 1: if you're DeVante Adams, don't you want to tire yourself
Speaker 1: to Rogers or at least not be stuck with a
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. Well, I think you're going to drop down
Speaker 1: if Jordan Love comes in. I think that's inevitable. But
Speaker 1: you know, Larry Fitzgerald had a drop, But then you know,
Speaker 1: when Kurt Warner left, Larry Fitzgerald had a little bit
Speaker 1: of a drop and then all of a sudden start
Speaker 1: to rise back up again. Carson Palmer comes in, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Larry Fitzgerald puts up some
Speaker 1: big numbers. This in from SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. This, uh, well,
Speaker 1: this looks like an official statement. University of Oklahoma, University
Speaker 1: of Texas to esteemed academics throwing the academic institutions with
Speaker 1: storied athletic programs today admitted formal requests for invitations to
Speaker 1: become members of the Southeastern Conference in twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: or sooner. I'm throwing in that or sooner. While the
Speaker 1: SEC is not proactively sought new members, we will pursue
Speaker 1: significant change when there is a clear consensus among our
Speaker 1: members that such actions will further enrich the experiences of
Speaker 1: our student athletes and lead to greater academic and athletic
Speaker 1: achievement across our campuses. The presidents and chancellors of the SEC,
Speaker 1: in their capacity as the conferences chief executive officers, will
Speaker 1: consider these requests in the near future. Per the by
Speaker 1: laws of the SEC, a vote of at least three
Speaker 1: fourths of the sec fourteen members is required to extend
Speaker 1: an invitation for membership. Yes, I guess, as he knows
Speaker 1: those votes already, I'm gonna guess yeah, yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: want to put that out And all of a sudden say,
Speaker 1: upon the review, we didn't get the majority we were
Speaker 1: supposed to have. Yah. Well, at least the next three
Speaker 1: years won't be awkward, No, not at all. I once
Speaker 1: broke up with the girlfriend and then we lived together
Speaker 1: for two more weeks after the breakup, and it was punishing,
Speaker 1: absolutely punishing. It was the worst idea ever. And at
Speaker 1: something at one point she was just like, look, you
Speaker 1: gotta get your stuff and leave. I just met you,
Speaker 1: I think at that point, didn't I Oh yeah, yeah right, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. I was like, yeah, this guy's got
Speaker 1: to get his act together, Like, what's wrong? You know,
Speaker 1: you're like miserable of a homeless Yes, living out of
Speaker 1: my car. Yeah. I think the first time I met
Speaker 1: Seaton right around there, or I had time to talk
Speaker 1: to you, and I'm like, oh gosh, you got some
Speaker 1: stuff going on here, and dude, you got some drama. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got some drama. Ben in Wisconsin? Hi, Ben, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Hey for having me on. It
Speaker 1: was pretty cool being on hold with Matt Damon talking.
Speaker 1: I felt like I'd finally made it. But I have
Speaker 1: a question for you guys. It's about protocol of changing
Speaker 1: seats when you're at a game. So I was in
Speaker 1: a minor league baseball game and once I started clearing out,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and I took the seats right behind home plate.
Speaker 1: I've done this at other games too, Just wondering what
Speaker 1: you got, what you guys, protocol is for when that's appropriate,
Speaker 1: Because I'm always buying nose police looking for something else.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll hang up Lewis and thank you. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's saying when you go to a ball game. Let's
Speaker 1: say you went to a Mets game and it was
Speaker 1: not a big crowd or a team that stinks, and
Speaker 1: you want to go sit in front row or close
Speaker 1: to front row seats, but you have nosebleed seats. I
Speaker 1: think you have to wait until after the sixth, maybe
Speaker 1: even the seventh inning, that when the usher is a
Speaker 1: little loose, it's almost time to go home. Maybe pick
Speaker 1: off the last two innings up front, but you don't
Speaker 1: want to go, and then have the ushers say, let
Speaker 1: me see your tickets. Yeah, you don't want to go
Speaker 1: on a date. And then all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: have to move. You have to act like you're going
Speaker 1: to somewhere you absolutely belong. You grab a couple of beers,
Speaker 1: you got your buddy, and you just chat and laugh
Speaker 1: like everything's great, and you just breathe down to your
Speaker 1: seat and sit down and hold your breath. More phone
Speaker 1: calls coming up, final hour, and my college football information
Speaker 1: has to do with Notre Dame Big ten ACC and
Speaker 1: I guess the SEC and the Pack twy. I think
Speaker 1: everybody except for the Big twelve. I think I have
Speaker 1: information that affects just about every big conference here. That'll
Speaker 1: be coming up two hours in the books, One More
Speaker 1: to Go, Dan and The Dan Patrick Show.
