Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Brady Quinn Fox Sports College and NFL Studio
Speaker 1: and game analyst, and he, of course is on the
Speaker 1: Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Radio show alongside
Speaker 1: Labar Arrington and Jonas Knox. You can catch them on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio weekdays six to nine am Eastern, which
Speaker 1: leads right into our show. Brady joins us on the program.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Brady, how are you. I'm doing well. Let
Speaker 1: me just say that the glovin I'll miss him. Sad
Speaker 1: to see you leave, m but you know, everyone's got
Speaker 1: to got to move on at some point. You know,
Speaker 1: well you were cut, you know you got yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know what the feeling is like when the
Speaker 1: team that you're with doesn't really want you around anymore. Yeah? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, like I, like I told you
Speaker 1: last week, you know, I had a nice we'll discuss
Speaker 1: what by Ryan Realter, who was really upset about the
Speaker 1: whole situation the landboard. But no, it's uh, it's you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's gonna be a blessing in disguise. You know,
Speaker 1: when you get cut, do you get to grab your
Speaker 1: jersey and take your Jersey. No no no. And the
Speaker 1: worst part is is there's like a sentence that said,
Speaker 1: and then everyone knows what's going to happen next. It's
Speaker 1: usually coach wants to see you bring your playbook with you.
Speaker 1: And I learned that when I first signed an agree
Speaker 1: to my rookie deal with the Browns, and I remember
Speaker 1: walking the locker room and as soon as I'm walking in,
Speaker 1: I heard one of our scouts that had gone and
Speaker 1: said something to like one of the players. And at
Speaker 1: that point in time, I really didn't understand like what
Speaker 1: was happening, but like literally that transaction was just taking place,
Speaker 1: and so that guy was getting cut to make moveing
Speaker 1: the you know, make a room on the roster for
Speaker 1: me to be there. And I've not never forgotten that sentence.
Speaker 1: And that's why I always tell, like I told players
Speaker 1: and like young kids this all all the time, because
Speaker 1: you know, football doesn't last for everyone, but it's a
Speaker 1: great game that teaches you a lot about life, and
Speaker 1: so regardless of what level you know it ends for you,
Speaker 1: just take your playbook with you. So try to take
Speaker 1: you know, create like a positive spin on something that
Speaker 1: that's pretty negative. All Right, A couple of things here
Speaker 1: Before I talk about what's going on with the College
Speaker 1: Football Playoff Committee and the possibility of forfeitures in the
Speaker 1: national playoffs, how about this the team that should stick
Speaker 1: with its quarterback Miami, Indie, Philly, the Niners, Washington for
Speaker 1: next year. I mean, what's what's the context of the question? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you're said at the position. Honestly, I feel like
Speaker 1: all of them, with the exception of Washington and Washington
Speaker 1: like the interesting one to me where I think you
Speaker 1: go back before the season and I'm still kind of questioning, like, so,
Speaker 1: what was the plan? Like Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to
Speaker 1: be the guy, and that was just how I was
Speaker 1: going to go And yeah, maybe they battle for the
Speaker 1: NFC East, maybe not, But I just given his age
Speaker 1: and what's they're what's they're selling if that's if that's
Speaker 1: the decision you're making, you know. So I haven't really
Speaker 1: understood that whole plan to begin with. And so that's
Speaker 1: the one thing, like one team assuredly that I can
Speaker 1: tell you he's gonna be looking for a quarterback in
Speaker 1: the offseason. The rest of them, I think they've all
Speaker 1: got young guys who I think you need to give
Speaker 1: more more time to yeah, because we got to move
Speaker 1: on from Jimmy Garoppolo. You know, I look at that
Speaker 1: situation though, just from the small windows we had to
Speaker 1: see Trey Lance, and he's not ready and and and
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is still has a year left on his deal. Now,
Speaker 1: granted they can release him, and I think the dead
Speaker 1: caps like one point four or something like that, but
Speaker 1: that might be a scenario where and I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to compare Jimmy Garoppolo to Aaron Rodgers, but you know,
Speaker 1: we saw Jordan Love initially, like, all right, he needs
Speaker 1: a little more work too, He needs some more development too.
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is a similar boat. And as long as
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is healthy, he plays a winning style of football.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't take that away from him. He's accurate,
Speaker 1: he doesn't really turn on the football too much. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna buy time to create a bunch of plays
Speaker 1: and all that, but he's able to help, you know,
Speaker 1: this team win football games. And so I just I
Speaker 1: don't see a reason to move off and then so fast,
Speaker 1: especially considering some of the bad years that Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: and John Lynch have experienced. Like do you really want
Speaker 1: to go through those growing pains again. Yeah, with a
Speaker 1: younger quarterback, just because where you drafted them. Well, I
Speaker 1: look at Philly and I like Jalen hurt So I
Speaker 1: just think they have to decide if they're going to
Speaker 1: build around him. Indeed, they can't get out from underneath
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz's contract right now, Miami, I'd have second thoughts
Speaker 1: about making that trade for Deshaun Watson because you can
Speaker 1: use those draft picks and make yourself a better team.
Speaker 1: And I think Tua has played well enough to maybe
Speaker 1: hold on to that the Niners. Eventually they have to
Speaker 1: move on with Garoppolo and Trey Lance in the on
Speaker 1: deck circle in Washington certainly. So Philly might be the
Speaker 1: one team that I would say, out of all of them,
Speaker 1: like it feels like they're a little more set than
Speaker 1: anybody else. I feel like every single one of those
Speaker 1: situations with their quarterback that is unique. Like one of
Speaker 1: the things I'll say about Jalen Hurts from following him
Speaker 1: from Alabama to Oklahoma and then the NFL is that
Speaker 1: young man's gotten better and better and better the more
Speaker 1: he's played. And I really thought he took a job
Speaker 1: from the frustrations that we would hear from Nick Saban
Speaker 1: in the spring game when he's miked up, you know
Speaker 1: about you know, throwing the football and not playing more
Speaker 1: from the pocket, because then doing that at Oklahoma to
Speaker 1: a degree and then continuing to get better at that
Speaker 1: at the NFL level. I just think he's the type
Speaker 1: of kid that the more he plays, the better he's
Speaker 1: gonna get. And I think he likes challenges. I think
Speaker 1: he likes, you know, the way Nick Serrano him, the
Speaker 1: report they have, and so he's the type of guy
Speaker 1: that even if you do build out around him and
Speaker 1: you find out two years from now, like what his
Speaker 1: ceiling is, it's just not for you. You know, you're
Speaker 1: still going to have that team set up though for
Speaker 1: whoever the next guy is going to be to have success.
Speaker 1: You know, then you look at Miami, you know the
Speaker 1: way to it's on. Van Lowe was handled last year
Speaker 1: and this year. I just don't know how you can
Speaker 1: sit there and look at him and say like he's
Speaker 1: you've really gotten a clear picture of, you know, what
Speaker 1: he's capable of being, because he kept jerking him in
Speaker 1: and out and it never made any sense to me
Speaker 1: last year and the offensive line that they've rebuilt is
Speaker 1: finally starting to mess a little bit better. But you know,
Speaker 1: by a large part, they haven't had much of a
Speaker 1: consistent running game, and so you know, his accuracy is
Speaker 1: obviously one of the best in the league. He's been
Speaker 1: able to make some plays. I know people talking about
Speaker 1: I'm not having the strongest arm, but he can still
Speaker 1: make all the throws. So I'm kind of more of
Speaker 1: a believer too, and just seeing what he is at
Speaker 1: least next year, unless you really do feel like you
Speaker 1: can get a better quarterback via a trade and with
Speaker 1: us Deshaun Watson or anyone else. But obviously with Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential baggage that could come along
Speaker 1: with that, and that's obviously the risk I think for
Speaker 1: any team that's look and say, all right, can't we
Speaker 1: get better than this? Or should we continue to build
Speaker 1: him with what we have. For rookies made the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: if we redrafted, what order would they go in? Michael Parsons,
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Kyle Pitts, Rashaan Slater. I mean, are we
Speaker 1: putting a premium on the position, because yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: the thing about Michael Parsons as good as he's been
Speaker 1: this year is like Dallas lucked into that position right
Speaker 1: due to the the injuries and all that. So if he
Speaker 1: could redraft it, he's probably going first overall with the
Speaker 1: way he played. Now, I mean, maybe that sounds like
Speaker 1: it's um maybe that sounds like controversial to a degree,
Speaker 1: but the reality is you could put him up for
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year and he might win it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know there's there has been any player
Speaker 1: that's impacted a team or at least the side of
Speaker 1: the football more so than Michael Parsons this year. So
Speaker 1: I think you would be the first one you take
Speaker 1: off the board. Yeah, or Saunds later doesn't get enough
Speaker 1: credit because he's a tackle. Yeah, you know, we don't.
Speaker 1: We don't look at what he does and we say, oh, like,
Speaker 1: this guy has been playing at a high level. He's
Speaker 1: been as good as probably most tackles in the league
Speaker 1: this year as a rookie. So I'd probably say second.
Speaker 1: And especially when you've got a guy like Herbert he's protecting,
Speaker 1: you know, Chase would probably be third. I think he's
Speaker 1: been everything that was advertised advertised, And you know who's
Speaker 1: the fourth Kyle Pitts. Yeah, I mean the problem is
Speaker 1: as good as Pitts has been at the tight end position,
Speaker 1: you know, that seems just got so many issues, so
Speaker 1: many holes, and it's gonna be hard him to turn
Speaker 1: things around. But to me, between Chase and Pitts, I
Speaker 1: think Chase is at the bigger impacts for the two
Speaker 1: pass catchers. Talking to Brady Quinn, former Notre Dame quarterback,
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback and of course works for Fox Sports, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure out this college football playoff policy that
Speaker 1: was written this week. Why they're putting it out now
Speaker 1: kind of boxes them them in. But you know they're
Speaker 1: talking about if one of the four semifinalists is unable
Speaker 1: to participate because of a COVID outbreak, the unavailable team
Speaker 1: will forfeit its opponent will advance to the national championship.
Speaker 1: If both teams are unavailable to play in a semifinal game,
Speaker 1: it would be declared a no contest and the winner
Speaker 1: of the other semifinal game would be declared the national champion.
Speaker 1: The I guess you know the national title game is
Speaker 1: January tenth, and it can be pushed back to no
Speaker 1: later than January fourteenth, are they trying to scare these teams,
Speaker 1: these players, Like, give me the logic behind this. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if there's much logic to it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think maybe Cincinnatis some are hoping and
Speaker 1: praying that everyone gets COVID and be able to be
Speaker 1: the player of the champion, right. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: the only thing that makes sense to me and this
Speaker 1: whole thing. But the reality is, I don't know why
Speaker 1: they just can't reschedule or push it back. I get
Speaker 1: their semi final bowl games. There's a lot that goes
Speaker 1: into the preparation for these. It's not like you know,
Speaker 1: your typical regular season game. There's a lot more that
Speaker 1: goes into the hotels and the people flying in and everything.
Speaker 1: How it's books Like, I understand all of that, but
Speaker 1: there has to be some degree of this is for
Speaker 1: a national championship. You know, we we we'd like this
Speaker 1: thing to play itself out. I also wonder, like what
Speaker 1: that burden is where a team decides it's going to
Speaker 1: declare it's gonna have the forefeit because of COVID cases.
Speaker 1: This isn't the NFL. You have more than forty six
Speaker 1: active players that can play in a game. Right, you've
Speaker 1: got one of eighty five scholarship players on the most teams,
Speaker 1: whatever the case is. But one hundred players in the team,
Speaker 1: you can field a team. It just may not be
Speaker 1: all your starters if that ends up being the case.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure really what the point is outside
Speaker 1: of maybe motivating all the teams to get boosters. But
Speaker 1: even in that event, I don't know that that that
Speaker 1: provides them any additional protection, like we see at the NFL,
Speaker 1: where if players are vaxed, if they're asymptomatic, they're not
Speaker 1: gonna get tested. It's only if they're tested. If they
Speaker 1: were implementing a policy similar to that, then it would
Speaker 1: make sense to you know, sense for me to say, okay,
Speaker 1: like you know, some of these teams, like any Michigan's
Speaker 1: gonna get they're all gonna get boosters together as a team. Well,
Speaker 1: if they're incentivized to do so, because as long as
Speaker 1: the kids are asymptomatic, they're gonna let them play. That'd
Speaker 1: be one thing. But to the best of my knowledge,
Speaker 1: that hasn't been a statement that they've made, So I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if they just feel like because of all
Speaker 1: the dues coming out with this particular variant that they're saying,
Speaker 1: we need to get it out there what our plans
Speaker 1: are so people aren't shocked by it. Maybe that's part
Speaker 1: of it, but I just you know, I'll be really
Speaker 1: curious to see if these teams can kind of hold
Speaker 1: on or if Cincinnati somehow and I've not even have
Speaker 1: to play another game and winning a national championship, which
Speaker 1: would be pretty interesting to see that. You know. The
Speaker 1: reaction to that, who's your pick to win it all? Well?
Speaker 1: I think Bryce Young, which I've been kind of pounding
Speaker 1: the payment for him all year. He's one of the
Speaker 1: best quarterback counts like I've ever seen, and so it's
Speaker 1: hard to pick against Bama just for that reason. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: would you put Bryce in there with Joe Burrow and
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and likely as far as talent wise, yes,
Speaker 1: Like the four types of throws he can make and
Speaker 1: how he plays the game as a young player in
Speaker 1: college football is unbelievable. I said it before the year started.
Speaker 1: I said I told everyone back in the spring to
Speaker 1: take the betting advice. He's gonna win to Heisman. Here's
Speaker 1: the other one. He's gonna be the first two time
Speaker 1: Heisman winner. Now the only thing that would stand his
Speaker 1: way as an injury or if he just decides to
Speaker 1: balance after next year, that's that's really it, because I
Speaker 1: think he's talented enough to win to I don't know
Speaker 1: if he'll be in college football long enough to do it,
Speaker 1: but he's that good of a player, and so it's
Speaker 1: hard to pick against Bama and their tracker and all
Speaker 1: that for that reason. But my anticipation is you're gonna
Speaker 1: see Georgia and Alabama playoff again for the national championship
Speaker 1: unless everyone gets covid um, and I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard to beat a team twice, and I think
Speaker 1: that's where you maybe see Georgia finally get over the
Speaker 1: hump and they end up winning the nation Championships when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. But I just it's hard
Speaker 1: to bet against that kid. The way he moves around
Speaker 1: the pocket, the way you can create plays utilize his legs.
Speaker 1: He's as accurate as as you'll see. So I'm a
Speaker 1: huge Bryce Young fantasy. I'm sure you can tell Brady.
Speaker 1: Thanks as always, Merry Christmas to the family, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you in the new year. Yeah. Mary Christmas

Speaker 1: classic album Christmas is available now. Great to have you
Speaker 1: back on the program, Michael. I'm curious what it's like
Speaker 1: when you go, you and your wife go to a
Speaker 1: Christmas party and somebody's got a piano there. What happens?
Speaker 1: It's just it's forget about the Christmas party. What about
Speaker 1: the shopping mall for the elevator? Oh, the funeral home?
Speaker 1: When wait, when you hear your music, Well yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a scary place. You don't want to hear the elevator,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. But that I mean everybody. I just
Speaker 1: went and bought stuff to my wife for Christmas. You know.
Speaker 1: Of course the last minute shop or just panicking, you know,
Speaker 1: what do I get? And of course you don't. People
Speaker 1: see me and say, like, can you sing that one?
Speaker 1: Do like jingle belt? But with my personality though, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of that bathroom beyond going jingle bell,
Speaker 1: jingle bell, jingle all the way. Kevin Bacon said that
Speaker 1: he hates going to a reception, a wedding reception, because
Speaker 1: everybody thinks he's gonna dance like he did in Footloose,
Speaker 1: Like come on, hey, come on, Kevin, dance like you
Speaker 1: did in foot Loose. There. Yeah, if I could dance
Speaker 1: like Kevin, I probably would. I probably would be dancing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But if he could sing like you, then he would
Speaker 1: be singing yeah, probably Yeah. Where's the strangest place though
Speaker 1: you've been asked, like, you know, to sing a song?
Speaker 1: You know? Weirdly? I think it was my Grammar's funeral
Speaker 1: and I was really emotional. I was devastating, you know.
Speaker 1: I was just a big day for all of us.
Speaker 1: And this sweet woman that we had hired in catering,
Speaker 1: this nice Italian lady, came up to me as I
Speaker 1: exited the bathroom, you know, and she said, you sing
Speaker 1: a song. Yeah, you're doing it sing home and you know,
Speaker 1: again in my personality, I say, like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what this is? What is the What is the one
Speaker 1: song that somebody else sings that you wish was yours?
Speaker 1: Oh God, it's a great question, man. There's so many,
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I think God only knows. Uh,
Speaker 1: the is one of the I mean, it's one of
Speaker 1: those beautiful songs ever written. So the Beach Boy, I
Speaker 1: wish it was mine. I wish half the edge hearing
Speaker 1: songs that he wrote were mine. Sometimes fantasize about just
Speaker 1: you know, going back in time and just stealing them.
Speaker 1: You know, But do you do you do covers? You have?
Speaker 1: I mean you're a very humble guy. Like you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of artists don't want to do covers of
Speaker 1: somebody else, but you have no problem with no. I do.
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird. I live in a very weird
Speaker 1: you know what it's weird. I lived in a very
Speaker 1: strange place as an artist because I I am. I
Speaker 1: cover songs. I mean I do what say Sinatra did
Speaker 1: or Presley, you know, I take these songs and I
Speaker 1: reinterpret them the Great American Songbook. But my biggest successes
Speaker 1: have been songs that I've written. I've been the pop songs,
Speaker 1: which is very weird for people to try to put
Speaker 1: me in a box because what am I Because those
Speaker 1: guys Dean or Frank or Tony Bennett, they didn't write songs.
Speaker 1: They didn't have pop songs on the radio, So why
Speaker 1: do you? You know what I mean? It's very strange
Speaker 1: to have to explain, especially if people don't know. They
Speaker 1: don't understand the same guy who wrote Haven't Met You Yet?
Speaker 1: Or Everything or Home is the same guy who's doing
Speaker 1: Feeling Good or Come Fly with Me? Who's tougher to cover? Though,
Speaker 1: if you look at those guys that you met, like
Speaker 1: is Sinatra tough to cover? It's never the artist. It's
Speaker 1: more about the song and the history of the song,
Speaker 1: and who's had a part in the history of the song.
Speaker 1: You know That's it's funny I find it. I don't
Speaker 1: find it easy to write songs. It's challenging to write
Speaker 1: a good so obviously everybody could do it if they could.
Speaker 1: But when I write a song, it's original and no
Speaker 1: one can compare it to anything. When I cover Come
Speaker 1: Fly with Me, you're now dealing with the song that's
Speaker 1: been tackled by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, you know, Conic,
Speaker 1: There's there's all these, all of these, so it's, you know,
Speaker 1: it's weird. I think that's what I'm best at. I think,
Speaker 1: if anything, forget about singing or that part of reinterpreting
Speaker 1: it as a as a vocalist. I think what I'm
Speaker 1: best at is conceptualizing and coming up with um ideas
Speaker 1: to make a song fresh and sort of almost very
Speaker 1: cinematic ideas within the arrangement, like to say something like
Speaker 1: Primier River. I don't know if you've ever heard my
Speaker 1: version of Primier River, but Primier River is a great song.
Speaker 1: But it took I was, you know, I think I
Speaker 1: was in the having a bath or something, and I
Speaker 1: had come up with this line bum bum bumpum fum
Speaker 1: bum sum sumum bumum sumumum sumum sumummum singing and this
Speaker 1: big dramatic build, and when I took it to the producer,
Speaker 1: I sang it to him. He right away he understood
Speaker 1: the conference and like I said, it was very cinematic.
Speaker 1: It was almost like a James Bond esque build and
Speaker 1: you could feel the drama and I knew for my
Speaker 1: show would be a great way to open the show.
Speaker 1: And so that is the challenge is taking something that's
Speaker 1: been done so many times and making it sound brand new.
Speaker 1: And you know you've done it when you take a
Speaker 1: song and it's a standard that's been there for sixty
Speaker 1: years or eighty years and people say, I love you know,
Speaker 1: I love that you wrote this thought or whatever that
Speaker 1: you know, they'll tell me. They'll say like I loved
Speaker 1: so I think like feeling good. You know, they'll say like, wow,
Speaker 1: I love the way you know you wrote feeling good.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, And of course I'll say thank you, but
Speaker 1: you as opposed to I didn't write that. Do you
Speaker 1: have to ask for permission to cover of song? No,
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have to ask. And what's weird
Speaker 1: or is like so it's happened to me? So years
Speaker 1: ago I wrote a song called Home and it was
Speaker 1: good for me. It went number one on this format
Speaker 1: of radio and HDY or whatever. And then Blake Shelton,
Speaker 1: the country singer, he covered it and he had a
Speaker 1: number one that was bigger than my number one, and
Speaker 1: he had his number one was in country radio. Across
Speaker 1: the pond, a band called Westlife had a number one
Speaker 1: with it. They called the record home and so people
Speaker 1: kept coming up to me and saying, I love that
Speaker 1: cover of Leftist Moment where I loved that place and
Speaker 1: the same thing was happening. I was say, no, I
Speaker 1: wrote that that's mine. But what do you get paid
Speaker 1: off of that? A ton? Oh? Good for you? Good
Speaker 1: Lake Shelton keep listening to Blake Shelton told them at
Speaker 1: what are those checks like though? When they come in
Speaker 1: that is there a reference to where the money's coming from? Yes,
Speaker 1: there definitely is there. They's all broken out. It's weird
Speaker 1: now because of the way that streaming is. I mean,
Speaker 1: isn't your Is your world changed with streaming? How much
Speaker 1: is your world Changemuner podcast the digital like, we had
Speaker 1: eleven point nine million downloads last month. Wow, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Yeah, And do you know and do
Speaker 1: you know what you're you're cut of that? This is
Speaker 1: a terrible conversation to have. But do you know what
Speaker 1: the cut is? Like? I have no idea. I think
Speaker 1: I know my manager deal, he's a great guy. Name
Speaker 1: is Bruce Sound. I know he's very any generous I
Speaker 1: get I get twenty percent he gets eighty percent. Uh,
Speaker 1: I think that's a good deal. I've been told. He
Speaker 1: told me it's a very good deal. You know what
Speaker 1: you then you know what you like? Do you know
Speaker 1: what you get out of it? It's so the pie
Speaker 1: is cut up in so many slices that that you
Speaker 1: you know where things go and what they go for.
Speaker 1: And I bought my own man cave, and then I
Speaker 1: have to rent out the equipment. So you know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still paying people for things that they're not
Speaker 1: involved with the show anymore. If that makes sense. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well I hope and I know mcloven leaving, I hope
Speaker 1: you get to still pay him. Um gone, can you
Speaker 1: I know this is you know, I'm asking you to
Speaker 1: do something for me. You know you're in the elevator,
Speaker 1: you're at a funeral. Have you got something to sing
Speaker 1: to mclovin that like, you know, this is the we
Speaker 1: got twenty more minutes, you got you got something, and
Speaker 1: we can just kind of give him because we didn't
Speaker 1: get him anything good today. I mean, we're not that
Speaker 1: sorry he's going, but we'd like we'd like to convey
Speaker 1: that if we could, you got something lightly emotional that
Speaker 1: you could sing to mclovin. Okay, let me just try
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, hold on, let me get what about
Speaker 1: this Nile? Okay, wait, hold on, Michael, I gotta give
Speaker 1: the official introduction here the tenth anniversary deluxe edition. And
Speaker 1: Michael's not telling me to say this. I'm doing this.
Speaker 1: His classic album Christmas available now, a new studio album
Speaker 1: coming out next spring by invitation. He also has a
Speaker 1: fragrance for women on set. What I don't know anymore.
Speaker 1: It's not even me. It's good the manager. It smells
Speaker 1: like the manager. Do you get twenty percent of that
Speaker 1: as well? Wait, yes, of course I do. Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go. Michael Boublet sings to mclovin mc lovin, fa
Speaker 1: fa the memory. You weren't good, but you were okay,
Speaker 1: we thought you were fine. Maybe you were adequate. I
Speaker 1: think it is time to say thanks far the memories,
Speaker 1: Frank you. I was trying to think of what rhymes
Speaker 1: was adequate? By the way, I didn't prep Michael to
Speaker 1: do that. He but but he does know your limitations. Mclovin.
Speaker 1: Was that like Bette Midler singing to Johnny Carson? Was
Speaker 1: that the same thing? Kind of that kind of was
Speaker 1: that accepted. I don't think that was as hungover as
Speaker 1: I am right now. Have you ever played a show drunk? Never,
Speaker 1: that's weird, people think, Austen, there's a big thing when
Speaker 1: I started because I was. I was so I was
Speaker 1: so loose, you know, I was. Here's the thing I
Speaker 1: did this. I started when I was sixteen and my
Speaker 1: Grandpi's to sneak me into nightclubs. And he was a plumber,
Speaker 1: and so the only way that we knew how to
Speaker 1: get me out there was he would trade. So he'd
Speaker 1: get musicians or a club guy and he'd say to
Speaker 1: the club guy, let my grandson into thing, and they'd say, no,
Speaker 1: like your grand your kid, he's six sixteen years old.
Speaker 1: They were drinking ages nineteen. He'd trade. Listen, I'll go
Speaker 1: and i'll fix the toilet and i'll put in a
Speaker 1: hall water heater in the kids, you're here. And he
Speaker 1: would go in and trade contra and they'd let me
Speaker 1: up on stage. So I did this from I was like,
Speaker 1: it's been a long you're even weirder. I think this
Speaker 1: is true. But I was sixteen in Vancouver, playing on
Speaker 1: like U Street, on these little clubs and bars, and
Speaker 1: restaurants up stuff, and across the street was a kid
Speaker 1: even younger than me that was doing stand up at
Speaker 1: like fourteen and fifteen, and that was Seth Rogan, and
Speaker 1: I used to hear about him. I used to hear
Speaker 1: about like, oh, you know, there's this kid, there's this
Speaker 1: young kid like you, and he's doing this. You know,
Speaker 1: he's in the clubs, the adult clubs and stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So by the time I got to doing this at
Speaker 1: twenty six and finally got signed, it had been ten
Speaker 1: years of me working. So I was very loose up there,
Speaker 1: very you know, confident, and it was very easy but
Speaker 1: fun for me. But people say, well, he's wasted, that
Speaker 1: guy's wasted. But but I'm seen. Martin always gave you
Speaker 1: the impression that he was wasted, but what he wasn't.
Speaker 1: But I think that's the impression I gave. But the
Speaker 1: truth is I'm such a control freak that I would
Speaker 1: never ever do anything that could I would ever lose
Speaker 1: that kind of control. I like, I think that it's funny.
Speaker 1: I just did this Christmas special and Lauren Michaels was
Speaker 1: the producer. We were talking about a lot of the
Speaker 1: artists because I did they think with Jimmy found when
Speaker 1: we were talking about it, and you know a lot
Speaker 1: of those guys, and we were actually talking about how
Speaker 1: loose they all seem and how great that they art improvisation.
Speaker 1: But they're most of them, ninety five percent of them
Speaker 1: are so structured and they're so uh you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. If you're that it all seems like it's
Speaker 1: just off the cuffe easy. But that's because that's that's
Speaker 1: what I was going to swear, that they have prepared
Speaker 1: so well. Like Jimmy sound, it's funny, you know, sweet
Speaker 1: and funny and you know, real silly and goofy and stuff.
Speaker 1: When a man backstage when we were working out this
Speaker 1: this gage we were doing, it wasn't it was real serious,
Speaker 1: real structured and so never been drunk, never been high,
Speaker 1: um but that. But when we switch over to to
Speaker 1: my normal life, I've never been sober. It's off stage
Speaker 1: where the problem done. Are well done? H your football
Speaker 1: your fantasy football team and shambles yep, yeah yeah, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and A Kamara were my I look at it.
Speaker 1: I actually this isn't a joke. I just put my
Speaker 1: head down. He's shame. Um, you feel pretty good. Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and I had Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, and
Speaker 1: I put in Tom and I really like Brady and
Speaker 1: obviously is a great player. That just four points and
Speaker 1: Kamara just was invisible. Are you a Seahawks fan? I
Speaker 1: am a Seahawks Oh? Sorry about that? Sorry about that? Michael?

Speaker 1: Do you have any knowledge if watches? I do not. No.
Speaker 1: You know it was supposed to be your show, mcloven,
Speaker 1: but Fritzie's the one who's the big winner here. Got
Speaker 1: to do a duet with Michael Boubley. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: Do you know that Michael Boublet at his house has
Speaker 1: a full hockey rink? He was showing the big German
Speaker 1: and Marvin during the commercial break. They're like, what do
Speaker 1: you have behind you? And he goes, that's a hockey rink.
Speaker 1: He's got one in his house. Let's go around the room.
Speaker 1: What we learned about mclovin is that what we're doing, Paul, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll go first. Okay, I've never met anyone
Speaker 1: who is gets more upset when they're hungry than Andrew mcloven. Pearl.
Speaker 1: That is true when he does not get food. All
Speaker 1: bets are off. He's also a very good cook at
Speaker 1: making chili. Okay. He is a natural on air and
Speaker 1: that's what the great thing when he joined our staff,
Speaker 1: he needed no introduction to being an on air guy.
Speaker 1: He was good with sports and good with comedy and
Speaker 1: knows when to get in and when to get out.
Speaker 1: He's been a great friend, all the best. Thank you, Paul. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna make the other two Dad, that's job a
Speaker 1: lot harder. I took out the greeting card. Uh seton?
Speaker 1: Can you go to Todd? Todd? What did you learn
Speaker 1: about Nick Loven going with the food one? To play
Speaker 1: off of a Paulie, Do not stare or look in
Speaker 1: the direction at all or ask what Andrew is eating
Speaker 1: at any given moment. When he's taken out his Peter
Speaker 1: bread and his chicken sound or his tune us down,
Speaker 1: he's focused and leave him alone. But I do want
Speaker 1: to say once again, great guy, always in great spirits,
Speaker 1: willing to do anything and everything for the show. And
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very very weird not having him
Speaker 1: sitting there come Monday, January third, and he will be
Speaker 1: greatly missed. And he's gonna do great and everything he
Speaker 1: doesn't let go. I ramble, I do that, I know,
Speaker 1: but I love the guy and he's gonna do great
Speaker 1: things and I'm gonna miss him a lot. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Un You know, I'm sitting here and I don't know
Speaker 1: that it feels real yet. No, it does. It feels like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're just going to Christmas break, so I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, January third will be much more interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: check in with me on January third, because then I'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, Mclovin's gone. What should I stay
Speaker 1: nice about him? Yeah? MC, I have the same feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this doesn't feel because you know, we do
Speaker 1: so many bits on the show too. It kind of
Speaker 1: feels like like I'll just see you later. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You make content out of everything, so sometimes it's hard
Speaker 1: to turn that mode off. Yes, this could be a
Speaker 1: great bit if it was a bit, and that we're
Speaker 1: acting like we're saying goodbye to mclovin, but he's going
Speaker 1: to be here on January third. But that's not the case. Yes,
Speaker 1: I see. I will say that it's kind of nice
Speaker 1: that Andrew is leaving in a way, because then we
Speaker 1: could just be friends instead of like co workers. You know,
Speaker 1: co workers gets a little more tricky where it's just
Speaker 1: being friends is like, all right, cool, let's just go
Speaker 1: hang out or something, or let's talk about you know,
Speaker 1: just bs on things. And I'm in a weird way,
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to that part of our relationship. Okay, happening. Okay.
Speaker 1: I have noticed that you guys are friends with everybody
Speaker 1: used to work with, like a lot of at tuber
Speaker 1: owl time, a lot of former ESPN or is and stuff. Everybody,
Speaker 1: including you, Dad, are really tight with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Not all people. Well, no, because if you work on
Speaker 1: this show, then you become part of the show that
Speaker 1: made it successful. And I never lose sight of that.
Speaker 1: Even guys who were cameraman like we were still good
Speaker 1: friends with people who did this from you know, the
Speaker 1: the early days, you know, Nick and Casey, those guys
Speaker 1: that you know, but they we had so much fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't help but have fun on this
Speaker 1: show with everything that goes on. Uh this day in
Speaker 1: sports history, Paulie, do you want to do something? It's trivial, Babe,
Speaker 1: Ruth did something. Franco Harris had the immaculate reception on
Speaker 1: this day, nineteen seventy two. How much is that NFT worth?
Speaker 1: I was wondering, is that the greatest catch? Even though
Speaker 1: they didn't win the Super Bowl? I don't think that year.
Speaker 1: But Franco's catch, I don't know. Nobody cares where you know.
Speaker 1: Let's say goodbye to McLevin. I'm getting messages on social
Speaker 1: media for people that are like, why am I crying?
Speaker 1: It's the end of an era, end of a great run. Mclovin.
Speaker 1: I'll let you have the podium for the final words
Speaker 1: here brought to you by Mercedespen's the best or nothing
Speaker 1: on earth. I have twenty seconds to sum up the
Speaker 1: last twelve years, not even that well. It all started
Speaker 1: warning young man in suburban Philadelphia stole Charles Barkley's hat
Speaker 1: and wore Barbra Streisand's brawn his head. And now I'm
Speaker 1: on TV. Thank you, budding. We wish you well.
