It's Dan Patch Ray 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.480 Final Hour on this Thursday, Dan and the Danna's Dan 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.120 Patrick Show. Glad to have you on board. We have 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.800 covered a lot of ground, some of its sports related. 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.080 I think Fritzie saying that Springsteen was overrated. And we 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:26.360 also talked about the NFL the seventeen games schedule regular season, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.399 adding a couple of wildcard teams to the playoffs. And 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.479 what happens in these kind of negotiations is it comes 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.679 down to one or two items. Now, you can agree 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.959 on a lot of things, but it's you see one 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.280 or two things that will hold up a deal. And 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.479 in this situation, I think that the players were looking 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.520 for a little more protection healthwise, getting vested at after 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.640 three years, which means you could get your benefits. And 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.080 it used to be four years, a little more than 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.360 four years. Now you get it three years where you're 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.480 vested with health benefits and also the amount of money 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.320 that's going to be made. It's a ten year deal 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.880 with the owners that they're on the verge of signing 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.040 agreeing to. And I was told this morning that ten 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.320 years and the percentage one and a half percent going 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.239 up with revenue is going to be worth about five 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.359 billion dollars to the players. You got a seventeen game schedule. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.920 Because of the seventeen games, I was told you have 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.480 to have two more playoff teams because you have to 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.440 create interest in those final couple of weeks during the 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.000 regular season. So just some of the things. You know, 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.440 the NFL floating out this playoff expansion plan, it felt 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.480 like it escalated quickly, but this has been in the 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.440 works for a long time. I go back to what 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.639 I told you around Thanksgiving. Prior to Thanksgiving, a source 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.440 told me we have to get this done by Thanksgiving, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.760 and then the same source said, look the owners. There 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.200 are owners who feel like we are headed for a recession. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.840 They want to get this done before the new year. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.240 Here we are in February, and it looks like they're 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.959 inching closer to getting this deal done. And I think 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.040 the players feel like this is a win for them 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.320 as well. Normally in these negotiations it feels like there's 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.400 a winner and a loser. I think the players are 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.880 going to come away with this thinking that they held 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.160 their ground and they did quite well against the NFL. Yeah. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.040 Point saw a lot of people debating this morning on 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.280 if there's a player vote, would it be seventeen or 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.840 sixteen games? Stay with what it is. And a lot 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.680 of the athletes we have on on a show are stars, 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.560 Like we have Drew Brees on the show, and he 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.080 doesn't want a seventeenth game because he's got fifty million 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.480 in the bank. But don't you think all the yea 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.320 the second tier guys, third tier guys, because you play 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.200 four years in the NFL, you get four extra game checks. 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.360 That's a big deal if you're a backup linebacker. Yeah, 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.160 I would. I don't know what the vote's going to be. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.760 And even talking to his source this morning and he said, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.560 you know, this isn't going to be a slam dunk 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.480 with the players, Like not everybody's going to agree to this. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.760 And if I'm a star player, if I'm Patrick Mahomes 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.080 or Deshaun Watson, one of these younger quarterbacks here, I 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:03.240 wouldn't be thrilled about playing a seventeenth game because your 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.520 goal is to try to stay healthy for the playoffs, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.160 and it's hard to do that for any quarterback, even 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.440 with the protection rules that we have in place here. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.360 A younger quarterback, I don't want to have a seventeenth game. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.320 Certainly if I'm Deshaun Watson, you know I'm going to 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.640 have a hard time staying healthy for sixteen game schedule. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.440 Now I'm going to add one more. Now? Is there 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.839 going to be load management here? Plus you the fans, 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.760 do you know what you're getting when you go to 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.159 those games? Week fifteen weeks sixteen, week seventeen. Are we 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.280 going to have a team with a losing record make 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:38.400 the playoffs? And I'm gonna it's inevitable. We had that 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.080 a few years ago with Seattle with a losing record. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.640 Are we going to have an eight and nine team 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.240 in the playoffs? It sounds strange to say that, but 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.360 it feels like we're headed towards them. Bob Costas will 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.560 join us get his thoughts on the astro situation the 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.160 Red Sox. From what I'm told, that decision is probably 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.320 coming down a week from today or tomorrow. I don't 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.480 know the severity of this, but I don't know if 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.599 we're gonna be looking at the Red Sox now like 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.479 we're gonna we're gonna change our viewpoint on who we 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.960 want punished here. I can't punish the players, can I 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.479 there's nothing in place that says I'm allowed to punish 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.839 the Red Sox players. I like how Dad Martinez, their 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.960 Red Sox great hitter, said Hey, maybe we should be 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.960 easying up on the Astros here. I think he's trying 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.720 to soften that venom that's coming the Red Sox way here. Hey, 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.839 let's come on, let's ease up on the astros here, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.120 because the Red Sox are the next men up, or 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.880 at least they've already lost their manager here, and I 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.880 wonder what Baseball is going to do to them. Yeah, 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.120 the glub, Yeah, I feel like everybody should be a 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.560 little nervous. I've gotta take all these guys bragging about 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.280 their numbers if they had the sign and call. Yeah. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.520 I don't want to hear from gen Carlos Stanton, like, dude, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.960 stay healthy, all right, you know you had a great 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.120 year A couple of years ago. You know, everybody is 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.360 going to get eighty home runs in Batch seven hundred, easy, 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.440 all right. Yeah. I'm also didn't totally understand the Union 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.560 chief Tony Clark's statements. He basically said that, you know, 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.200 he basically said that the MLB told us they didn't 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.240 want to pis these players. And I have that for you. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.800 Here's Tony Clark, the head of the Players Union for 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.279 Major League Baseball. The regis that we're in place prior 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.320 to this conversation didn't afford the league an opportunity to 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.719 discipline players. The conversation that was had leading into the 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.600 investigation with respect to Houston, but just no intent to 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.880 discipline players. The conversation moving forward and as we engage 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.200 players just like we did in this room, will garner 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.640 an appreciation for where the guys are on player discipline 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.159 on this particular issue moving forward, and we'll address it 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.440 a quarter hunting. Yeah, I just did anybody ask Tony Clark, Hey, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.200 what do you say to all these players who are 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.000 angry at the astros? What are you going to say 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.479 to them? You're the head of the players Association, what 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.080 are you going to say to these But Mike Trout 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:03.320 is criticizing Lebron James is criticizing you. You're protecting these players. Now, 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.240 I know that's your job, but it feels like the 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:11.040 Players Association getting off easy here. Yeah, it's almost like 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.920 lawyer on lawyer there only using semantics and with illegal. 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.400 Tony Clark is saying, there was no language in the 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.880 CB collective bargaining before this to have punishment for this 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.920 specific act, so you can't punish this specific act. And 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.080 he's just he's basically reading from a sheet that's some 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.000 lawyer handed him. I'm hopeful that the commissioner is drawing 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.240 up some new language or a rule that might be 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.080 a deterrent here for the players. Yes, but we should 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.440 have already set that precedent where it's like steroid. They 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.760 weren't testing for steroids, so it wasn't illegal, so you 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.080 can't punish those people. Yes, that's already been the common 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.720 in language there. Yeah, two thousand and three when that 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.440 was leaked out of these guys who tested positive, but 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.680 they had no rules in place where they could punish them, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.640 and then they finally got around to doing them. Mcleven 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.800 new Pole question, Oh, I don't know. I'm just curious 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.760 if you had another. Oh, I thought you were the 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.640 one that had the new poll question. No, did someone 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.280 to tell you add a new pole? Guys, Well, I 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.720 still have a lot of questions about NFL. Seventy percent 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.600 say they do not like the expansion. But what about 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.600 the playoff expansion because everyone in this room is going 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.480 to watch more playoff games. I'll watch it. I don't 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.800 like it. I don't need I should say I don't 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.720 need it. I don't need a seventeenth game. What about 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.040 going farther into February. Well, I would stretch out the 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.840 season absolutely, I'd have the super Bowl at the end. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.199 I'd have a I haven't have an extra bye week 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.920 at some point during the regular season, and stretch this 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.320 out as far as you can. So then you go 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.040 from February with the super Bowl. So then you're going 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.440 to go into the combine and free agency coming up, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.520 and then you go into the draft. So you have 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:52.280 basically corralled about nine months here from September. I mean, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.520 it really doesn't end. I mean, if you're thinking about 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.600 it like you have maybe May and June that don't 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.520 matter in the NFL. Well, I mean they're close to 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.520 ten months out of the year where they're dominating the 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.560 news cycle. But if you can stretch the Super Bowl 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.040 towards the end of February and then you turn right around, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.040 you got free agency coming up, and then you got 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.160 the combine, then you got the draft, that's pretty good. Yeah, 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.920 I'm glove another poots. Should the NBA cut down from 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.360 eighty two games? And if that's too obvious, should they 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.080 cut down and have a midseason tournament that Adam Silver 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.599 has floated out They don't totally understand. Yeah, I don't know. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.400 I don't get the mid season tournament there. I thought 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.880 maybe it's an excuse to cut down the games, because 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.600 there seems to be such a call for that to 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.480 get out of eighty two. Yeah, but you can't now 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.160 because of all of the TV money and the player's 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.880 salaries and the owners want to make their money. Now 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.079 I'm going to cut down on the number of games. 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.320 How do I make my money to pay these guys? Like? 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.160 It's kind of the tail wagon the dog here, and 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.800 I think it'd be difficult to do that. How are 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.280 you going to do this in baseball where all of 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.240 a sudden you say we'd like to lop off twenty 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.520 games Meanwhile, we're gonna pay Mike Trout four hundred million 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:07.720 dollars or Bryce Harper three hundred million dollars. It's we're 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.640 pretty far down the rabbit hole with this that I 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.040 don't think you can do that, but I agree, I'd 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.439 love to, you know, take away twenty games in the NBA, 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.960 take away twenty games in baseball, and make it like 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:27.480 more exciting. College basketball rendered meaningless. You know, will getting 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.640 rid of the one and done help college basketball? That 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.240 if you stay, you got to stay for at least 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.839 two years. You can come out of high school. Great 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.160 that I know it doesn't help the NBA because the 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.000 NBA wants you to get a little more experience. They 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.520 don't want to babysit eighteen year olds. But if you 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.880 want to give them an opportunity, great, you can come out. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.960 College football has three years now. There are certain players 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.240 that should come out earlier. It'd be any great running 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.120 back in college should come out early. And if I'm 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.840 a quarterback just had a great year, I should I 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.959 should be allowed to come out because if you stay, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.720 it feels like nothing good ever happens, your draft status 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.000 goes down. It just it feels like you're on display 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.400 too long and then we start to nitpick you. Po. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.000 If Trevor Lawrence were available in this draft, he would 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.600 be taken ahead of Joe Burrow. Is that for sure 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:24.600 or likely? Mcle What do you think the way people 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.800 were write about him? I would say for sure, but 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.400 that might be that, you know how you always say 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.480 that people kind of evaluate the guys who are in 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.439 the draft a little better. Well, everybody, what's what they weren't, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.280 what they can't have. Therefore, Trevor Lawrence, man, he's unbelievable. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.240 Joe Burrow just gave you the greatest season a quarterback 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.760 has ever given to a team in college football history, 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.760 much better than anything Trevor Lawrence has done. We're just 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.000 not quite sure how what the ceiling is for Trevor Lawrence. 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.200 Lawrence has only lost one game. It's entire career. He's 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.480 not lacking for any success. Is he a great quarterback? Oh? Yeah, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.960 great by college standards? Yes, okay, I mean he's only 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.480 lost one game in two years. Oh gotta prove. I 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.880 know he's around playing. I mean, you know, Greg McElroy 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.640 probably didn't lose too much at Alabama. I mean, Burrows 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.400 got pros all over and around him too, although he 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.840 did elevate that team a lot. I mean two or 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.640 two years ago was the hot thing after the title game. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:27.200 You know, the Dolphins were tanking for two of So 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.160 I think a lot of times we get these quarterbacks 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.640 and it's new and you go, oh my gosh, he 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.559 checks all the boxes there, he's six six, he looks 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.360 like a quarterback. He's strong arm. It feels like he's 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.959 Andrew Luck, though the one exception that goes wire to wire. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.400 I think Trevor Lawrence is the new and he gets 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.880 compared to Luck a lot. He's been his ninth grade, 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.520 he's been the wonder time. Okay, I take but maybe not. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.560 I mean you I always think that on him, always wrong. 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.480 And I thought Matt Barkley was a top ten pick. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:01.720 I think so did Matt Sam Darnold two or three three. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.920 But people are still waiting for that greatness, I know, 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.800 kissing to these out. Yeah, yeah, you know what, Trevor 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.440 Lawrence doesn't have that rhyme like suck for Luck, you know, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.720 tank for Tua that you need a rhyme off his name. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:22.160 Trevor Lawrence a look too wordy, I would say, Todd 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.440 what rhymes with Trevor, but it won't rhyme with Trevor. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.839 I was gonna go sever for Trevor, like sever your 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.680 your attempts to win games, but if it's not a 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:35.120 rhyme thing, but it's just like losing for Lawrence. It's alliteration, right, Yeah, yes, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.520 I know you haven't really dovid all these projects. But 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.520 I keep seeing this guy Jordan Love from Utah stage 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.800 first round of every mock draft. His numbers are terrible. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.959 I can't. So you talk about college success doesn't mean 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.760 anything to these guys because he's like, you know, he's 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.920 terrible passerad We'll look at Daniel Jones, yeah, Mitchell Truebisky. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.640 So having a great college here doesn't necessarily mean that 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.000 you the NFL us you the same way it would 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.320 for me, Like I want to see how successful you are. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.280 You know, Daniel Jones didn't play on a good he 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:11.040 didn't play well on a average team. Mitchell Trubisky played 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.440 okay on an average team. I still like what I see. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.720 I still like when I go, oh, that guy, that 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.440 guy Teddy Bridgewater. People I doubts about him. I said, 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.400 I watched him on Saturday seems like he knows what 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.920 he's doing here. But the bad PRO Day, Oh, I go, 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.720 and it felt so bad. It's like, oh, he ruined 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.840 it bad PRO Day, and I go. I'd still tak him. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.240 What he did was ruined anyone who takes pro days 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.040 seriously after him? Everyone's got why am I watching this? 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.160 We'll get phone calls. Bob Costas will join us. M Fritzie, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.000 who has been very critical Bruce Springsteen on today's show. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.040 I made him entertain the nation when our live looking 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.520 if you were watching on TV, some of the responses, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.800 that was the best look in live look in ever. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.760 Thank you, Fritzie. Uh oh that's from Fritzie. Never mind, 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:08.160 Uh that look in was awful, Fritzie. Uh. Fritzie is 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.560 only spewing these terrible music takes to distract from the 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:16.800 fact that he didn't book any That's cold. Do you 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.960 realize Bob Costas booked himself today? Now I'm being honest, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.360 that's true. Bob wanted to clarify something he said last 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.040 time may be gone now not a few times. Now. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.200 He's got an open window, an open invite, Bob. But 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.280 but you didn't even book Bob Costas. I didn't. We 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.880 had Leggie Miller on the reason he's a weekly regular guests. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.320 So that's that's the true right there for Uh. This 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.760 is from another listener. I always feel sorry for Fritzie 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.760 because of how awkward he is, and I try to 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.920 root for him. But his segments like the last one 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.320 helped me understand why he gets picked on so much. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.040 Somebody also liked the fact that we suggested Fritzie suggested uh, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.560 flipping bowling pins that were on fire today, and we 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.280 were all for that. We wanted to go get bowling 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.760 pins and set them on fire and let Fritzie juggle those. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.120 I don't know how to use a lighter s something 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.040 that is true. That was an amazing piece of video. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.760 Not the most of all the different things you've seen 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.320 me on not be able to do you you you 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.480 can't do any helse or chores, like if you were 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.960 left alone. You know, when you can't leave a child 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.920 at home for any extended people one of those bracelets 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.520 like that I'm falling and I can't get up kind 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.120 or like a pet, you can't leave the pet there 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.560 for too long like that your wife must say, Hey, Todd, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.200 I'm gonna be back in four hours or you gonna 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.880 be okay. No canned grids like you can't open I say, 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.120 one of those things with the ring where you can 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.920 just gotta pull it open. But but Fritzie couldn't use 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.400 a lighter. You eventually got it, but I only was 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:47.720 able to hold it for like a half a second. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.040 It took you over a minute to figure out how 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.800 to use a lighter. I was looking at it like 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.280 it was some kind of NASA project. But the fact 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.840 you used a broom like it was shuffle board I did. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.520 It was one of words to describe how it wasn't 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.760 a bit like you didn't know how to use a broom. No, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.680 I wasn't looking for laughs. I was looking for a pity. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.360 I guess that was genuinely. And then and then we 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.320 were cutting down the nets. When we left the old 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.280 man left scissor no, no, no, no. We were cutting 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.320 down the nets, and Fritzie got up there because I 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.679 wanted all of us to cut down the nets, symbolic 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.879 that where you're leaving the old man, kid Todd, you 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.480 couldn't do it. You couldn't actually cut down the nets. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.600 It took a very long time. With instead of taking 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.120 the righty scissors and and putting it in his right hand. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.040 He kept it in his left hand and tried to 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.639 I stuck with the left hand. But ultimately that was 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.240 very poor. Everybody did it like in a matter of 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.399 like a second and a half, and it seemed like 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.320 it was several minutes before I could even make an 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.800 a dent in the netting. That never mind actually cutting 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.639 a piece off. It was bad, it was. It was 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.159 very bad. Yes, it was sad. It wasn't bad. It 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.159 was just sad. It was it was. It was sad. Yeah, 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.720 it was very unfortunate. That's such a limited we're showing 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.800 that now we're Fritzy's up there, and then he claimed 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.640 whether they're right handed scissors. You know, it's funny. Look 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.320 at my hand. I could do this. I can close 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.480 the gap. I think. I thought, there's not these things 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.000 for a reason. But there's no excuse for that poor 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.159 neddic cutting performance. But there must be a reason why 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:16.760 they make lefty food. And you do not how to 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.960 do the tongs either, did not like, I don't know 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.359 how to unlock it. I didn't realize there was a 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.359 lock on tongue. Yeah, there's some kind of thing you 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.760 had to turn to actually remove some kind of and 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.680 around it to be able to freely open and close. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.600 He was showing that now, so I just could to 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:33.959 pick it up and you know, kind of go at 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:35.840 my own length or space that I needed up tong 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.440 to pick This is definitely its own TV show, just 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.760 asking Todd to do like can you like this lighter? 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.560 And then just film it. Yeah, And remember when he 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.919 was cutting Pauli's birthday cake, there's like dd IY, like, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.720 don't do it yourself, But I can't do it yourself. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.160 Is there anything Tod can do on its own? Ella? 0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:01.320 Now we're showing him cutting the cake. So so he 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.840 he leaves it in the box and he's gonna try 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.080 to cut it, but he can't get the knife all 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.480 the way down trying to contain all the cubs in 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.520 the box. The box is Oh, that's that's a struggle. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.800 It was a little struggle for me man versus cake. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.560 And then Seaton is trying to help him, like dismantling 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.840 the box, and then paul he said no, no, no, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:21.560 He's like no, no, no, no no, don't it. Don't leave it. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:27.720 Let him figure it out. You're fascinating getting sharp in 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.080 those plastic that plastic knights helped me cutting fast the 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.600 way it's a knife fault. It was. It was like 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.480 a nurse for knife, not a left handed knife, cake 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.760 cutting knife. It actually says on the box that we 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:43.159 think it's for cake cutting it and it didn't have 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.400 like those look sharp edges where you could actually take 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.600 a break here. Bob cost just well, John, it's like 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.080 a butter knife. What's the uh what's he make of 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.920 the astros?
