Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Tuesday, Dan and The
Speaker 1: Dan and Stan Patrick Show. People fired up over Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame ballot revealed and also at least the nominees
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame and Lebron James
Speaker 1: did he get away with something? Get off lightly with
Speaker 1: only a one game suspension. Also, the Buccaneers did what
Speaker 1: we expected the Buccaneers to do. They rolled the Giants
Speaker 1: thirty to ten. Gronk came back in a big way.
Speaker 1: Brady throws for over three hundred yards two touchdowns. Lakers
Speaker 1: at the Knicks tonight without Lebron James suspended for one game.
Speaker 1: We'll get to your phone calls on this and the
Speaker 1: Baseball Hall of Fame eight seven seven three D P
Speaker 1: Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 1: handle at dp show, and we'll talk to the great
Speaker 1: actor Ray Leota of Goodfellas fame and also Copland. There's
Speaker 1: a new Sopranos movie that he's involved in that too.
Speaker 1: He say it's in Newark, Okay, yeah, raising that. I
Speaker 1: think he was up for Tony Soprano's role in the original,
Speaker 1: wasn't he. James Gandolphine's role. Was he up for that, PAULI?
Speaker 1: I had heard an interview with him where he was
Speaker 1: up for a role in The Sopranos back in the day,
Speaker 1: I think in season two, and he I think he
Speaker 1: passed on it because he didn't want to be more
Speaker 1: typecast with that. Okay, but he's always a bad guy,
Speaker 1: a tough guy, angry guy. Yeah, Paul. Do you ever
Speaker 1: see that movie narc with Jason Patrick. Yes, ray Leota,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mess with him in that movie. He's very intimidating.
Speaker 1: Yes he is, Yes he is, all right, so he'll
Speaker 1: join us coming up. There's a report in a local
Speaker 1: Chicago newspaper and it has to do with Matt Naggie
Speaker 1: being fired and no matter what happens in Detroit and
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving as the Bears head coach. And we'll keep an
Speaker 1: eye on this, but from what I've seen, this is
Speaker 1: the only place where I'm seen it reported, and it
Speaker 1: says Matt Naggie will coach his last game with the
Speaker 1: Bears game on Thanksgiving against Detroit. I did wonder that
Speaker 1: to start the show. If he wins that game in Detroit,
Speaker 1: then you got ten days of sort of that speculation
Speaker 1: because they'll have ten days off before their next game.
Speaker 1: If they lose the game, then I thought they would
Speaker 1: probably fire Matt Naggie if Detroit wins that game, But
Speaker 1: now it may not matter. So that's something that will
Speaker 1: keep an eye on here. Pull question final hour mclovin. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we put up that MLB Peed Guys Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame poll. Basically, who would you put in? And you
Speaker 1: have choice his Bonds, Clements, a Rod, Sosa, none of
Speaker 1: the above, are all the above, none of the above
Speaker 1: seventy all of the above thirteen percent. Then there's a
Speaker 1: ten percent for Bonds, one percent a Rod, zero point
Speaker 1: zero for Sammy Sosa. Baseball Writers of America revealed their
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame ballot yesterday and it has led to
Speaker 1: some heated debates. A Rod and Big Poppy are on
Speaker 1: the ballot. Say goodbye to Kurt Schilling, Roger Clemens, very Bond,
Speaker 1: Sammy Sosa still holding on. First time on the ballot
Speaker 1: for a Rod and Big Poppy, last time for Shilling, Clemens,
Speaker 1: Bonds and Sosa. And when you think about it, we
Speaker 1: don't talk about peeds as much as we used to.
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that the athletes don't use them.
Speaker 1: It's just hard to imagine the level of scandal that
Speaker 1: would ever reach what it did with Bonds and Clemens
Speaker 1: and having players former players go in front of Congress.
Speaker 1: Shilling is completely different because he says he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be voted into the Hall of Fame. I think
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer, but for whatever reason, the
Speaker 1: writers don't want to put him in. If you want
Speaker 1: to factor in his politics and if that goes into
Speaker 1: the criteria of Pro Football Hall of Fame, they are
Speaker 1: not supposed to factor in off the field, but they do.
Speaker 1: They did that with Michael Irvin, but they didn't do
Speaker 1: it with Lawrence Taylor, Kurt Schilling off the field. And
Speaker 1: if that's something they're going to hold against him and
Speaker 1: doesn't fit in with the criteria of what they expect
Speaker 1: out of a Baseball Hall of Famer, then you know
Speaker 1: that's the Baseball Writers of America. The pressure of being
Speaker 1: the last year on the ballot could create some surprises
Speaker 1: and maybe cause some really strong reactions whatever the outcome is.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you can get on a
Speaker 1: pr campaign if I'm Bonds or Clemens, do I do anything?
Speaker 1: Can I do anything. I don't want to apologize. I
Speaker 1: don't want to apologize now, but I'm just curious if
Speaker 1: they could, you know, can you sway enough voters, because
Speaker 1: what did they get this past year? Just over fifty
Speaker 1: seven percent Paulli, Yeah, they're pretty close. And Shilling, I
Speaker 1: think with sixteen votes away he's in the that was
Speaker 1: like two percentile away. Well, you gotta have seventy five
Speaker 1: percent of the vote. But I don't. I thought Bonds
Speaker 1: and Sosa, we're the Bonds in. Do you have it? McLevin, Well,
Speaker 1: I got Chilling. You're right, it's seventy one point one percent,
Speaker 1: so he's really close. Bonds got a sixty one point
Speaker 1: eight percent, um, Sammy Chosa's seventeen Clements Clemons sixty one
Speaker 1: point six almost identical. Yeah, it feels like if you
Speaker 1: vote Bonds, you vote Clements. If you vote Clements, you
Speaker 1: vote bonds. But maybe Schilling gets in, Maybe maybe it
Speaker 1: gets in. And I still go back, and I've said
Speaker 1: this before. You know, it's the history of the game,
Speaker 1: and there are some questionable people in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: It's the history of the game, and I do think
Speaker 1: you can tell the history of the game. Do I
Speaker 1: want Bonds and Clements celebrated. No, I don't. Now. What
Speaker 1: I saw from them was pretty incredible. And yes, I know,
Speaker 1: steroids don't help you hit a baseball. They help you
Speaker 1: hit a baseball. Fire there, and Barry Bonds was not
Speaker 1: a home run hitter. Ben Johnson was already fast. Steroids
Speaker 1: made him the fastest man on the planet. If you're
Speaker 1: good enough to make it to the majors, you can
Speaker 1: put the battle on the ball. Now, if I know
Speaker 1: that you're really good at doing that and I allow
Speaker 1: you to add some more power, well, yes, it's a
Speaker 1: recipe for success. I just I can't honor that if
Speaker 1: they put him in the Hall of Fame. They put
Speaker 1: him in the Hall of Fame, like, okay, I move on. No,
Speaker 1: there's no outcry, And I think there was back in
Speaker 1: the nineties, just because I think I was asleep at
Speaker 1: the wheel with a lot of what was going on,
Speaker 1: had no idea with Jombi and Maguire, and I was
Speaker 1: friends with them, and I didn't I didn't realize it.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was looking for. So I
Speaker 1: think there's part of me that's like revisionist history. Like, hey,
Speaker 1: if I could have or what would I say, or
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe there's always going to be that
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame because you
Speaker 1: feel like they cheated people like I always feel bad
Speaker 1: for Hank Karon. Hank Aaron is the greatest home run
Speaker 1: hitter of all time, and you know, I never hit
Speaker 1: fifty members, never any questions, one of the great great
Speaker 1: people ever play the game, and Barry Bonds blows by him.
Speaker 1: Yeah at home runs, I just didn't. I just didn't
Speaker 1: like it. And I think as a result, we don't
Speaker 1: care about numbers anymore in baseball because they became inflated, hollow.
Speaker 1: We didn't know what was real or not. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you hit fifty five, that's almost like you're drawing
Speaker 1: attention to yourself. Yeah, I'm a club. There is an
Speaker 1: annoying analytics argument about this year's class that could bring
Speaker 1: you down with if you'd like, yeah, why don't you
Speaker 1: ruin my dad? Well you probably agree with this one.
Speaker 1: So Kurt Chilling, one thing he doesn't happen aside his
Speaker 1: win loss record, But ninety five percent of that reason
Speaker 1: is he was on a terrible Philly team. Like when
Speaker 1: you're two years he led the league in strikeouts and
Speaker 1: barely had a winning record. Nowadays, the baseball people don't
Speaker 1: count wins and losses for pictures when they look at
Speaker 1: cy Young and stuff. Yeah, which is fair. Why is
Speaker 1: a picture so tagged with a win? What if his
Speaker 1: team stinks? I don't even know why wins and losses
Speaker 1: on that one. But you never count like shortstop t
Speaker 1: wins and losses, so I think people would look beyond that.
Speaker 1: So that should have helped Shilling because he had a
Speaker 1: million strikeouts in Philly but never won the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but a picture has more of an impact than a
Speaker 1: shortstop does. Right, But you know, on a lousy team
Speaker 1: like Chilling was fifteen and fourteen one year and led
Speaker 1: the league in strike Well, I know, but I think
Speaker 1: the analytics have gone the other extreme. Now you could
Speaker 1: win eleven games and be the cy Young winner, right
Speaker 1: like King Felix. And yeah, but maybe he's you know,
Speaker 1: you're a huge guy. I love what he'd us and
Speaker 1: he gets no run support. I have no problem with
Speaker 1: Schilling going in the Hall of Fame, even though I
Speaker 1: don't agree with his politics and he says some really
Speaker 1: really stupid and inflammable stuff. But that has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with what I saw in the baseball field, and
Speaker 1: that's how I would vote it. Kurt Schilling performed like
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and you didn't know any of
Speaker 1: his politics while he was playing, but after the fact,
Speaker 1: you know that's I'm not a baseball writer. Obviously, We've
Speaker 1: talked to baseball writers. I just try to be objective
Speaker 1: with it. That's all. May not like somebody never got
Speaker 1: along with t O, but I would. He's one of
Speaker 1: the great great players of all time. But I think
Speaker 1: when it comes to I'm going to play God. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't envy these writers, certainly the Pro Football Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. It feels like every year, you know, they
Speaker 1: get introduced the new class, and then we criticize who
Speaker 1: didn't go in in the same with you know, the
Speaker 1: baseball writers. Yeah, I'm the club, all right. Jacob mcgraham
Speaker 1: seventy seven and fifty three for his career, two Cy youngs.
Speaker 1: He's close to being a Hall of Famer. He wins
Speaker 1: one more Cy Young and in today's standards he might
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer. Yes, Hunt, if you felt
Speaker 1: you were deserving of the Hall of Fame, would you, lobby, Fred,
Speaker 1: would you want to get in that way and go
Speaker 1: on a whole campaign like you're running for office. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: that take away some of the specialness? Wait? Are you
Speaker 1: saying I did that to get into that about something?
Speaker 1: You said? R wow, wow, said lobby, And you're like
Speaker 1: to put a campaign together like Drew Pearson kind of
Speaker 1: threw a fifth and say it to my face. I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: you found me out. Yeah, yes, point. The Jacob deGrom
Speaker 1: thing is not to be look at his stats. He's
Speaker 1: his stats, wins, losses. He's an above average pitcher, seventy
Speaker 1: seven fifty three. In the past four years, he has
Speaker 1: thirty three ends. He should have about fifty wins. His
Speaker 1: era the past four years is one in the National
Speaker 1: League one point seven, two point four, two point three,
Speaker 1: one point oh this year, even though you know last
Speaker 1: year fifteen starts. Yeah, he's thirty three years old. He
Speaker 1: may have to go into the Hall of Fame with
Speaker 1: less than fewer than one hundred wins in his career.
Speaker 1: These next two years, it could be really important for
Speaker 1: him going into the Hall of fame. Yes, he Why
Speaker 1: isn't two Cy Young's enough? I don't know it just
Speaker 1: feels like you need a little bit more. How many
Speaker 1: guys who have won two cy Youngs aren't in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Nick Levin? Could we uh first? Letzkham
Speaker 1: had his early, he had his year two in year
Speaker 1: three and they cooled off big time unless you have
Speaker 1: if you had two cy Youngs, but you had a
Speaker 1: lot of other things that went along with that. Kind
Speaker 1: of a glossy one loss record that I could see.
Speaker 1: But de Graham doesn't have a lot of wins incredible
Speaker 1: you know, walks to innings or strikeouts and ratio and
Speaker 1: whip and all that stuff. But he he might be
Speaker 1: on the border a custom of being a Hall of Famer, Yeah, Pollie.
Speaker 1: Kurt Schilling was second in the Young voting twice to
Speaker 1: his teammate Randy Johnson. He had a battle with Randy.
Speaker 1: He wasn't his own team at the battle. Chris and Alabama, Hi, Chris,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? How are you this morning? Buddy?
Speaker 1: Great hey Man five eleven and a soft two eighties.
Speaker 1: Dan just wanted to call in and give you a
Speaker 1: couple of points, man, get your opinion on one thing.
Speaker 1: First point is as far as classing up the NBA
Speaker 1: It's like putting lipstick on a pig. Not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: As far as baseball, man, everybody loved shilling. I think
Speaker 1: the sports writers are a lot of the reason why,
Speaker 1: and bringing into the politics is why baseball is falling
Speaker 1: off with the viewership over the last couple of decades.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the TV ratings that
Speaker 1: only goes up during October. It's definitely not the days
Speaker 1: of Reggie Jackson and Dale Murphy and so forth when
Speaker 1: baseball was great. You know, it's not Kurt Schilly politics.
Speaker 1: As you said, that was out there hurling those balls
Speaker 1: one hundred miles and hours consistently. You know, it was
Speaker 1: his his athletic ability, and it just, you know, and
Speaker 1: inflamed me so much that I don't even hardly watch
Speaker 1: baseball anymore. But just wanted to get your opinion on
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with the playoff picks tonight. What
Speaker 1: order you think is going to be in what chance
Speaker 1: Alabama really does have? Just want to say, roll tied
Speaker 1: and for ray Leo to coming up. He's a funny guy.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris. That's Chris and Alabama. Let's see four
Speaker 1: players in the Hall of Fame with two or more.
Speaker 1: Cy Young's McLevin. No, that's exactly two. H There's some
Speaker 1: guys with three or more, but the this list has
Speaker 1: a not in the Hall of Fame with two. It's
Speaker 1: Denny McLean, you know, Brett Saberhagen, johanssont Hadna, Tim Lindson
Speaker 1: come now becomes eligible. He hasn't been on the bat yet, Okay.
Speaker 1: And there's three active guys to Graham, Klueber and Verlander.
Speaker 1: Verlanders a Hall of Famer? Who else? Corey Kluber not
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer? Jacob de Gram probably going to
Speaker 1: be Britt saberhagens out a Hall of Famer. No, I
Speaker 1: had a couple of magical years there in Kansas City?
Speaker 1: Is an injustice? Yeah? Is Clayton Kershawn? Got two cy Youngs? Three?
Speaker 1: Three him? He has three Max shirts or has three? Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are both Hall of Famers. Yeah, Polly, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta space him out, like justin. Verlander had one at
Speaker 1: age twenty seven, then he has another one at age
Speaker 1: thirty six. Space out those cy Youngs and then he's
Speaker 1: going back to the Astros for one more year. Yeah,

Speaker 1: the program. How many fights have you been in in
Speaker 1: your life? Ray? Many fights? Yeah, honestly one And was
Speaker 1: in seventh grade and I was two grammar schools were
Speaker 1: folded into the junior high school and some kid we
Speaker 1: were arguing about. I think it was something stupid as
Speaker 1: who had the better food in the grammar schools, and
Speaker 1: we went I went down to the house because everybody
Speaker 1: knew there was a fight and I won it. But
Speaker 1: but you appear to be a tough guy and a
Speaker 1: lot of your roles, you're a tough guy. Are you
Speaker 1: a tough guy? Tough? And what went? No? No? Really?
Speaker 1: So the people as like I said, I've only been
Speaker 1: in one fight. You must be a great actor then
Speaker 1: to act tough. Act now you hit it. Hey, let
Speaker 1: me ask you something. They kept wanting me to remove
Speaker 1: the cup, the coffee cup, the orange juice, the water.
Speaker 1: You got eighteen things up there Who's who's the guy
Speaker 1: in the red that's got his hand up? That is
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz, the former Notre Dame in Arkansas. Headcain. You
Speaker 1: can put whatever you want up there, Ray, I don't care. No,
Speaker 1: I'm joking. No, I'm not joking. What do people say
Speaker 1: to you on a daily basis depending on where you are?
Speaker 1: What do you get on the street? Uh, you're the
Speaker 1: best looking actor that I've ever seen in my life. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't either do do'll either just say hello? Or
Speaker 1: for a while it was you're a funny guy. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's not a bad price today. But you know it's
Speaker 1: one of those where you're some actors are known for
Speaker 1: a role and then you try to escape the role
Speaker 1: a little bit or try to do something different. How
Speaker 1: tough is that? Sure? Now you see the tough guy
Speaker 1: comes Jay h. My first movie was a movie Something Wild,
Speaker 1: and I played a mediac and I would read and
Speaker 1: I until I was thirty years old. That's what I
Speaker 1: did my first movie. Uh. I forgot the question again
Speaker 1: about you try to distance yourself from you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So after something while, I did the movie Dominic and
Speaker 1: You Jamee with Tom Holt, which was a beautiful I
Speaker 1: was a medical uh student that I had to move
Speaker 1: to Stanford but my brother who was brain damage and
Speaker 1: we find out later that was because of physical abuse.
Speaker 1: But I had to leave. It was a really beautiful story.
Speaker 1: And and in Field of Dreams, I didn't like Hit
Speaker 1: Kevin with the Bat that was a nice one. I
Speaker 1: did a couple of Muppet movies. So what kind of
Speaker 1: athlete were you? I was okay. I played soccer and basketball,
Speaker 1: but the soccer, uh, I think I was better at
Speaker 1: But I never just went to a high school and
Speaker 1: that was it. Did you audition for Field of Dreams? No? No,
Speaker 1: I think they just brought me in and I think
Speaker 1: it was just an out and out offer. I think
Speaker 1: how long were you in Iowa? Did you see? You
Speaker 1: must have seen the game that they played on the field.
Speaker 1: That was beautiful. They really really did a good job.
Speaker 1: So what did you ask me? Again? How long were
Speaker 1: you in Iowa? Probably two months, maybe a little more.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful. Have you watched that movie? No? I've
Speaker 1: never seen it. I haven't. Do you not watch your movies?
Speaker 1: Not a lot of them, I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Might don't uh do it h
Speaker 1: I mean obviously Fellows and maybe a couple of others,
Speaker 1: but in general, I probably have more movies than I
Speaker 1: haven't seen. But can you watch now that you're further
Speaker 1: removed from it, watch the watch a movie? Yeah that
Speaker 1: you're in. No, we Sometimes I'm changing channels and oh
Speaker 1: I was in that one, and it just kept the
Speaker 1: keeps going on. Well, I wondered, because some you know,
Speaker 1: you sit and listen to yourself talk. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't listen to the replay of the show. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: see what are they saying? Well, it's that I used
Speaker 1: to when I did Sports Center, the show would be over,
Speaker 1: I'd get the tape and I'd watch the entire Sports
Speaker 1: Center and look at all the things I didn't do
Speaker 1: well or right. And were you in the beginning of that. No,
Speaker 1: I got there. I was ten years in so, uh,
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine, that's when I got time. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they started in the early eighties with Chris Berman and company.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I got there late nine, late eighties. But
Speaker 1: I would analyze everything I was doing, and then it
Speaker 1: was defeating the purpose. So I wasn't looking at what
Speaker 1: I did well. I would I would look at what
Speaker 1: I didn't do well, And I didn't know if that's
Speaker 1: what would you be doing that? Would you be critical
Speaker 1: of yourself if you're watching? Oh yeah, totally. It's all
Speaker 1: about lighting. If I'm not looking good, I'm done. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I tell you I'm not joking.
Speaker 1: You know. They tell you like I moved your left,
Speaker 1: move to your right, and I said, guys, just tell me,
Speaker 1: like when the light the lighting is better over there
Speaker 1: than here, and I'm moving a second just because you
Speaker 1: know that you're going to look good. Totally. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I noticed she wore the blue shirt because of the
Speaker 1: blue eyes. I mean, come on, that's smart move. That's
Speaker 1: a veteran move by you. Right now. Little did I know?
Speaker 1: All right, if you weren't an actor, you would have
Speaker 1: been a musician. I was just talking last night with
Speaker 1: my fiance J C. H a cop or a musician,
Speaker 1: like someone who knows how to play guitar. I played
Speaker 1: guitar like a thousand years ago, and I just didn't
Speaker 1: take it. I just found it. It wasn't for me.
Speaker 1: And then you, like Copland, did you embrace that sort
Speaker 1: of feel? You know that? Yeah? I used to do
Speaker 1: right along with with with the cops. Uh. One guy
Speaker 1: was a sergeant. In the first call we had to
Speaker 1: go on. It turned out there was a body part
Speaker 1: because something blew up in this person's house. So I've
Speaker 1: done that. I I researched a lot. In the beginning
Speaker 1: Good Fellows, I had a guy who was in it,
Speaker 1: or claimed that he was in it. He actually was.
Speaker 1: What else did I do? I've watched autopic. I did
Speaker 1: a movie where I played a heart surgeon, and I
Speaker 1: just sat back and watched them just what they do,
Speaker 1: just to get the Uh. The doctor said, you've been
Speaker 1: here all the time. You want to come up here
Speaker 1: and see what we're doing. And I said yeah, and
Speaker 1: what what? The woman's chest was wide open and they
Speaker 1: were doing heart surgery and he he said, you want
Speaker 1: to touch your heart? I said yeah, I mean, how
Speaker 1: many opportunities to get with that? And I put my
Speaker 1: finger in and touched this woman her her heart. What's
Speaker 1: so funny? Well that's not that's unique, I mean not. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wandered there on the table. Yeah, so, uh, did
Speaker 1: I watched a brain off topic because what I was doing, Uh,
Speaker 1: that wasn't one of my did Anthony Hopkins is this
Speaker 1: where they're feeding you the brain was at Hannibal. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and this said, what do you want to eat for it?
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I can't imagine a taste. Just
Speaker 1: give me dark meat chicken. I just don't like dark
Speaker 1: beat chicken. So they put it there, was there, and
Speaker 1: then Tony's feeds it to me and I eat dark
Speaker 1: chicken meat chicken. We're talking to ray Leota, the actor producer,
Speaker 1: and uh, he's in the third and final season of Hannah.
Speaker 1: What made you jump on this role? Cash, Well, you
Speaker 1: haven't added before that. You've taken roles for just the
Speaker 1: money I have because I needed it. You know, I've
Speaker 1: definitely had an up and down career that's now on
Speaker 1: a slow rise. Um. Yeah. I used to watch a
Speaker 1: brain surgery. That one was crazy and the guys awake
Speaker 1: because I didn't know how I was supposed to do it,
Speaker 1: and he was awake and he was there, and then
Speaker 1: I turned around. It was a four or five freeway.
Speaker 1: So so you you took Hannah for cash? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, it was it was I had
Speaker 1: seen two seasons before they when they offered it to me,
Speaker 1: just to see what it was, and it just looked compelling.
Speaker 1: It looks like what we did it really has a
Speaker 1: great momentum to it. My god, my guys were excited
Speaker 1: that you were going to be on. They want to
Speaker 1: know if they could ask you a question, if that's okay? Sure, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Fritzie, do you want to do the Joe
Speaker 1: Peschi impersonation and get that out of the way for
Speaker 1: Ray could do that? Okay, go ahead? Well, how am
Speaker 1: I funny? How am I like a clown? Am here
Speaker 1: to amuse you? How am I? How am I funny?
Speaker 1: You tell me why? And how am I so funny

Speaker 1: You're like? How explain to you? No? No, you're done.
Speaker 1: No funny about stop you you already got it now.
Speaker 1: That's what you did was better than what I did
Speaker 1: to stop get out of here. I just kind of
Speaker 1: like took it for a while. Mclove And you got
Speaker 1: a question for Ray? All right? I did all this research.
Speaker 1: There's so many roles that you're reported to have passed on.
Speaker 1: Is there one I don't ask me? Yeah, well, no,
Speaker 1: it's fancy. Is there one that you regret that was true?
Speaker 1: The only one I would regret was they came to
Speaker 1: me for the first Batman and the uh. But I
Speaker 1: didn't you know, I'm saying Batman, I'm like, oh, my
Speaker 1: thirties Batman just seems silly. And then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden that phase took off. I'm not sorry about it,
Speaker 1: but it's also not what I did. Seton your your question?
Speaker 1: Can I ask, too, sure? Do you have a favorite
Speaker 1: guitar player? Since you mentioned the musician thing, do you
Speaker 1: have a favorite guitar player that you really like? And
Speaker 1: then my other question, really liked Stevie ray Vaughan. I
Speaker 1: liked uh the guy who was with uh was with
Speaker 1: Donald Fagan. Um, but no Walter but yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was really good too. Yeah. And what was the
Speaker 1: other questions here? Oh? How did growing up in New
Speaker 1: Jersey impact you as an actor? Uh? Not really. I
Speaker 1: never wanted to do this. I just went to college
Speaker 1: is my dad wanted me to. And I got into
Speaker 1: the University of Miami, which at that time you just
Speaker 1: needed a pulse to get in there because I walked
Speaker 1: out of my satts and uh, it was in line
Speaker 1: to take liberal arts and you had to take a
Speaker 1: math in the history. I don't even know what telling
Speaker 1: this story. Uh, and I just there's no way I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do math in history of right to the left
Speaker 1: was for the drama department. I took a step over
Speaker 1: at a drama class that uh in high school. But
Speaker 1: soone never did. I just figure it, un just just
Speaker 1: mess around for a year in Miami, Paula your question.
Speaker 1: You did two movies back to back. One of them
Speaker 1: I just love Phoenix. You played the cop of the
Speaker 1: Gambling Problem. I love that movie. But you did an
Speaker 1: HBO movie called The Rack rat Pack where you played
Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra and it felt like you were singing a
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff in the movie. How much singing
Speaker 1: to you? And how tough was that? Well? I yeah,
Speaker 1: I sang, but it was to his music. Actually, they
Speaker 1: couldn't even afford to use for Sinatra's music, so they
Speaker 1: had a guy who sang just like him, like what
Speaker 1: you were doing. And uh, and so that's it. That's it,
Speaker 1: that's all we got, right, that's it. Yeah, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: well thank you. Yeah, that's uh your house? What is
Speaker 1: this your house? No, that's my man cave. That's what
Speaker 1: I mean. Where at your home? No, in Connecticut, it's
Speaker 1: a big, big studio. I took over a kind of
Speaker 1: a warehouse and made it a man cave. So we
Speaker 1: got a basketball court in here and bar and football field. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Life's good, life's good. Yeah, all right, waves you like
Speaker 1: low hoaxes. Thank you, Ragg, Good luck with Hannah. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That's a ray Ley Yoda Field of Dreams, Many Saints
Speaker 1: in Newark and the third and final season and Hannah.
Speaker 1: That premiere is November twenty fourth on Prime Video. All right, Ton,
Speaker 1: you got to do your impersonation. That was a fantastic moment.
Speaker 1: Thank you, making dreams come from again. But then you
Speaker 1: didn't stop. I know this is that's what I do.
Speaker 1: I overdo it and but that was that was very
Speaker 1: cool because I love that movie and that was cool.
Speaker 1: Did you see Ray's look though, and he's he's trying
Speaker 1: to process what you're doing there? One of my all
Speaker 1: time favorite scenes. And I can't believe know you Todd
Speaker 1: sent me the scene this morning. He goes just you
Speaker 1: know in case you want to get familiar with this,
Speaker 1: and I was like, for what he goes? Well, now
Speaker 1: if it comes up on the interview with Ray. So
Speaker 1: you think that was my way of like, l you
Speaker 1: know that they give on Todd You're better, You're better
Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, Paul Raise a great actor, but I
Speaker 1: think we may be missing the boat on a reality series.
Speaker 1: I like, just follow Ray around all day. He's interesting.
Speaker 1: Fire that up. Yeah, all right, a couple of phone
Speaker 1: calls in here, then we'll take a break. Timmy in Virginia, Hi, Timmy,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey? Uh yeah, you were talking
Speaker 1: earlier about Bonds and Clemens and how the steroids painted
Speaker 1: their numbers. I've been a lifelong Feet Rose fan and understand.
Speaker 1: But the batting and the you know, sometimes he comes
Speaker 1: across as a jerk, but his hit record is like,
Speaker 1: to me, one of the purest numbers in sports. How
Speaker 1: do you compare the two as far as who's more
Speaker 1: likely to make it into the Hall of Fame? Now,
Speaker 1: Pete's not get into the Hall of Fame. That ain't happening, really, No,
Speaker 1: not in happen. That's not happening too. Thanks for the
Speaker 1: phone call. Now we talk about this every year. He's
Speaker 1: just not getting in the Hall of fame. Pete, to me,
Speaker 1: could have gotten into the Hall of Fame if he
Speaker 1: had an active contrition and he said to the commissioner,
Speaker 1: how do I give back to the game? How do
Speaker 1: I work with you? How do we make this better?
Speaker 1: How can I restore my good name? And I do
Speaker 1: think that that Commissioner, Bud Seeley would have said, how
Speaker 1: about my suggestion was And I even talked to the
Speaker 1: commissioner about it, and I said, have Pete go into
Speaker 1: the minor leagues and talk to these young kids and
Speaker 1: let him know what happened, that he got caught up
Speaker 1: in this, and that there's going to be things that
Speaker 1: are going to happen when you get to the majors,
Speaker 1: when you make money, who you socialize with. And Pete,
Speaker 1: I think, could have gotten back in the good graces
Speaker 1: of baseball by giving back. But Pete, what made Pete
Speaker 1: great is what is keeping him has kept him out
Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame. He just refuses to give in.
Speaker 1: And it's not going to happen. If it is, it'll
Speaker 1: be posthumously. But you can't put Pete in and not
Speaker 1: put in Shulas Joe Jackson. Yeah, just in my opinion,
Speaker 1: you can't. But Pete's not getting into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Bill and Florida. Hi Bill, thanks for holding what's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Hey Bill? Bye Bill. We'll take a break.

Speaker 1: Interview Now McLevin thinks that Ray was kind of playing
Speaker 1: a role there that that was a bit. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: sort of being the fun older actor. He had a
Speaker 1: lot of jokes, I know. But when he said that
Speaker 1: he was in the operating room and he got to
Speaker 1: put his finger on a woman's heart, and then I
Speaker 1: started laughing, and then he goes, what are you laughing about?
Speaker 1: I go, well, that's not exactly operational procedure where you
Speaker 1: have somebody who's in there observing and they get to
Speaker 1: put their finger on somebody's heart. Oh, it's an active surgery.
Speaker 1: You're saying it wasn't. No, I miss that, but now
Speaker 1: that's nuts. Yes, I did. He say he touched a brain.
Speaker 1: Later on in the interview, the word brain came up.
Speaker 1: I don't know. He was in a role. He was
Speaker 1: in Hannibal, and then he was supposed to be fed
Speaker 1: part of his brain, and then I think they gave
Speaker 1: him dark chicken. I don't I don't know what was
Speaker 1: going on. That's the first time I've ever interviewed Ray.
Speaker 1: I don't know what was real and what's not seton.
Speaker 1: He said, that's the brain, and then that's the four
Speaker 1: or five mission accomplished. So what what yes, mcclub the
Speaker 1: show Hannibal. I thought he was still talking about the
Speaker 1: show Hannah, which I could not figure out. Why the
Speaker 1: show Hannah. He was eating dark chicken. Then he really
Speaker 1: hit him dark chicken. He said it twice and then
Speaker 1: I'm you know, he's on to promote Hannah, and so
Speaker 1: I said, oh, why did you take the role? You
Speaker 1: know cash? And then I then he started talking about
Speaker 1: brain surgery again, and then I thought he's got to
Speaker 1: get in the plug for the show. And then I
Speaker 1: hit him again with it, Yeah, if you're about to
Speaker 1: get a surgery and Ray Leo don't want to observe,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna advise you pass on that opportunity. Here sign
Speaker 1: your left leg and there's Leo. But he hadn't seen
Speaker 1: Field of Dreams. I think there's a lot of actors
Speaker 1: and actresses who don't watch their work because I think
Speaker 1: you can get in your head, I know, just in
Speaker 1: you know, being a sportscaster. I don't want to watch.
Speaker 1: I just don't. Yeah, mclove r, yeesh seed because and
Speaker 1: now he said, like, do you listen back to your
Speaker 1: radio show? But it's like no, but we don't have
Speaker 1: somebody editing it for us to see, like, so did
Speaker 1: it work? Yeah? I mean when you're piecing together a
Speaker 1: movie or a TV show, there's a whole process that
Speaker 1: happens after you did your work. You know that. I
Speaker 1: would always be curious, I think if I was an actor,
Speaker 1: to see I don't know the Yeah, let's see did
Speaker 1: this work? How to come out? I think you're always
Speaker 1: going to be critical. Yeah, I mcclovin. I just go away.
Speaker 1: That comes on cable. Do you sit there and watch
Speaker 1: the scene at the Dan's off? I do because I
Speaker 1: want to see Jennifer Aniston because she looks great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't watch for my acting as much
Speaker 1: as I watch for Jennifer And and you know her
Speaker 1: reaction to my acting. Yeah, see, yeah, she's great in that.
Speaker 1: Yes she is. Yes, I could understand an actor waiting
Speaker 1: until you see the reaction to him. A Field of
Speaker 1: Dreams is pretty beloved and pretty. It's not critique a lot,
Speaker 1: it's and he could you know, go back and watch
Speaker 1: that movie. He actually has a small role. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: watch the Field of Dreams. Well, good Fellows he said
Speaker 1: he'd watch them. Yeah, but that's like in the top Echelon. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Field of Dreams is up there too. I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a well done movie. Yes, mclem
Speaker 1: If you end up to him and said, Dad, you
Speaker 1: want to have a catch you have no idea what
Speaker 1: you're talking about? What did you just say to me?
Speaker 1: What he's trying to catch it? Yeah? Yes, time if
Speaker 1: you if you build it, what happens? Someone's coming over? Hey,
Speaker 1: who's coming right? Last call for phone calls? Brian Baumgardner.
Speaker 1: Good buddy from the office going to join us. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's seen Field of Dreams. I watch all of my
Speaker 1: films back, So Kevin from the office is going to Joe.
Speaker 1: I've ever seen an episode. No, that's not a good personage.
Speaker 1: I thought he does a big mouth thing. No, but
Speaker 1: that that's not your forte. Satan did a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Now there's pressure on it. I watch all the my
Speaker 1: maybe not maybe neither. Well, first first one was again,
Speaker 1: yeah it was. Yeah, Brady Quinn is going to join
Speaker 1: us on the pro Maybe we just ask those guys
Speaker 1: what they think of ray Leota's performances tomorrow. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I'm laughing through the whole Leota interview. I
Speaker 1: thought he was punking me. I wasn't sure, and then
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure. And then I got done, and
Speaker 1: McLevin goes, oh, that was definitely an act, and I go,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? All right? Yeah, I club I love.
Speaker 1: They were turning to Kevin from the office to bring it,
Speaker 1: get us back on the rail, said normally. See. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see this day sports history Pauling. Nineteen seventy one,
Speaker 1: The Washington Senators announce their moving to Texas with the
Speaker 1: new name the Texas Rangers. Ninety seventy one. Nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 1: Boston College Defeta Miami forty seven forty five on quarterback
Speaker 1: Doug Flutie's last second sixty four yard pastor Gerard Failing.
Speaker 1: What year was that? Eighty four? Wow? Yep, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that was the I saw Flutie at West Point
Speaker 1: that year. I think I know I saw Flutie play
Speaker 1: against West Point against Army, but uh, yeah, he won
Speaker 1: the Heisman on that signature throw there, Gerard Failing. Let's see.
Speaker 1: The Eagles beat the Cowboys twenty seven to nothing in
Speaker 1: a game in which Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson accused the
Speaker 1: Eagles coach Buddy Ryan of placing bounties on players. That
Speaker 1: was nineteen eighty nine. That was a big deal at
Speaker 1: the time. And I remember a now former player, but
Speaker 1: at the time a current player said, no, we have these,
Speaker 1: we just don't let people know we have bounties. Hey,
Speaker 1: who's going to take out the kicker? Who's going to
Speaker 1: take out the quarterback? That that this was back then,
Speaker 1: and it would be they'd put money into a hat
Speaker 1: and then they would disperse the money after a game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, boundaries have been around for a long long time.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see anything else that needs to be
Speaker 1: mentioned here. Mike Garrett won the Heisman Trophy on this
Speaker 1: day in nineteen sixty five. For USC Sunday Night or
Speaker 1: no Thanksgiving Night football, it'll be Josh Allen the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills going to New Orleans to battle Alvin Kamara and
Speaker 1: the Saints. That'll be Thanksgiving Night at eight eastern on
Speaker 1: NBC and Peacocks some of the other games. You got
Speaker 1: the Rams at Green Bay. That's a great game on
Speaker 1: Fox on Sunday, And it felt like the two teams
Speaker 1: that were came down to the wire were the Packers
Speaker 1: and the Rams. For Odell Beckham. Tennessee will be at
Speaker 1: New England. Is this the best game of the weekend?
Speaker 1: I'd probably say the Rams against Green Bay is spicier.
Speaker 1: Rams need to win. They could use a nice big
Speaker 1: win here. Tennessee at New England. Are we sold on
Speaker 1: either one of these teams? Certainly what happened with the
Speaker 1: Titans last week Buffalo at New Orleans? As I mentioned
Speaker 1: that feels I gets really important for both of those teams.
Speaker 1: Vegas at Dallas. Wow, last time we saw Dallas play
Speaker 1: the Raiders, it was Thanksgiving Day twenty thirteen. Do you
Speaker 1: guys remember who the quarterbacks were? So this is twenty
Speaker 1: thirteen Raiders Cowboys Thanksgiving Day. You should know one Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: The other one I believe a Penn State quarterback Paully
Speaker 1: Oh no trace mcsorland, No, no, no close clothes. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you. So it hurts. It starts with
Speaker 1: the M and starts with the M. Yeah, not Christian
Speaker 1: Hackenberg doesn't start with an AM. Yeah, but I would
Speaker 1: saying Penn State quarterback Mission Makenburgh, Matt mcgloyd injury, Yes, Oh,
Speaker 1: I just pulled my mcgloyin. All right, let's go around
Speaker 1: the room up to learn on the program, Todd, I'll
Speaker 1: start with you. What did you learn the today's f Wait?
Speaker 1: What did you ask me? You might be better off
Speaker 1: rooting for the Jets? Wait? What are we talking about?

Speaker 1: Giants lacting any identity? Mclovin, what did you learn that
Speaker 1: was dark meat when he was eating brains? And Hannah
