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 dan Patrick Show. We have been all over the map,
Speaker 1: all over the globe. We talked about Jeff Bezos going
Speaker 1: into space for ten minutes and then coming back down.
Speaker 1: We've talked about the controversy behind gold Starred Chilian Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: We've also talked about Game six, the Bucks and the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. We'll get to your phone calls each seven
Speaker 1: seven three, DP show email address, DPA dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp show update the poll results if
Speaker 1: you can Fritzie in the final hour. Okay, We've got
Speaker 1: Rogers holding out then playing for the Packers this season
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent, Rogers reports to camp on time thirty
Speaker 1: seven percent. Then Rogers gets traded a little below eight percent.
Speaker 1: All right, man. We're keeping an eye on this because
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter had a tweet earlier where he talked about
Speaker 1: the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two year contract extension
Speaker 1: that would have tied him to Green Bay for five
Speaker 1: more seasons and made him the highest paid player in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Rogers declined the offer, and then cheft He
Speaker 1: ends his tweet by saying proof it's not about the money.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this means as far as the
Speaker 1: timing of it coming out. Now, when did they make
Speaker 1: the offer, were they in negotiations? And if so, now
Speaker 1: where do things stand? Because camp opens up next week
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers, we'll get to more phone
Speaker 1: calls coming up. We make way for one of the
Speaker 1: great executives in TV history, NBC Universal Sports, the Olympics.
Speaker 1: He also was one of the creators of Saturday Night Live. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, he's Dick Arbersol, who joins us on
Speaker 1: the program. Dick, good morning, Thanks for joining us. We
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about twenty five years ago this week,
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic torch in Atlanta, and I
Speaker 1: was curious the backstory of that, Like, how did you
Speaker 1: keep that secret from everybody, including those who probably worked
Speaker 1: for you. Well, it started dan a few days before
Speaker 1: Christmas in I guess it would have been the Games
Speaker 1: where in what ninety six so have been just Christmas
Speaker 1: week in ninety five, and I was in Billy Paine's office.
Speaker 1: He was the head of those games. He'd gotten the
Speaker 1: rights to the games for Athens or not Athens, but
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and he went asked by me who had
Speaker 1: he decided would light the cauldron? He said holy Field
Speaker 1: And I said, Billy, I just don't think that's a
Speaker 1: good idea. I just don't think he really has that stature.
Speaker 1: I know he's a local guy, but there's somebody who's
Speaker 1: much better for this. And he said who, And I said,
Speaker 1: Mohammad Ali. And he said, in all earnestness, he said,
Speaker 1: I just think I'll have a terrible time trying to
Speaker 1: sell that here in Atlanta. And I said, Billy, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just not comprehending what Ali is all about.
Speaker 1: At this stage of his life, I think he's probably
Speaker 1: the most beloved person in the entire world, other than
Speaker 1: probably the Pope. He's appreciated by young people, by people
Speaker 1: who are now well beyond their youth, who watched his
Speaker 1: valiant fight for what he thought was right. He gave
Speaker 1: up his prime earning years. The sacrifices were enormous. He
Speaker 1: put everything on the line, and to show you how
Speaker 1: strong he held his opinions, he sat on those sidelines
Speaker 1: for several years, losing that money, and in the meantime
Speaker 1: he really really tested out the court system, and he
Speaker 1: won a unanimous verdict from a very very conservative US
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. I think it was eight to nothing. He
Speaker 1: was vindicated, and he went back to fighting again. And
Speaker 1: Billy said, jeez, I don't still don't think I know enough.
Speaker 1: And you remember Lisa Lax who worked for us at
Speaker 1: the NBC. She was our primary filmmaker dan and she
Speaker 1: I said, I want you to make this film. I
Speaker 1: called Don Hewitt, the Sixty Minutes executive prester, and he
Speaker 1: had been the most recent interviewer he'd had. Somebody from
Speaker 1: his staff had been in Cuba but two weeks before
Speaker 1: and done an interview with Ali and Lisa cut all
Speaker 1: this stuff together through the ages and we sent it
Speaker 1: to Billy. This would have been in the spring of
Speaker 1: ninety six, and he watched it and he got a
Speaker 1: pretty strong sense of, you know, what this real Ali
Speaker 1: was all about, but he was still a little reluctant.
Speaker 1: And at that point I got off the phone and
Speaker 1: called Andrew Young, who was a prominent member of the
Speaker 1: board for the Atlanta Games, the former ambassador of the
Speaker 1: United Nations, among other things. Big deal in Georgia, and
Speaker 1: I said, you've got to push Billy over the line,
Speaker 1: and within a day he did. And Billy always always
Speaker 1: appreciated that fact. And as Clinton hold at Saint Clinton
Speaker 1: told me the day after the torch lighting, and not
Speaker 1: the torch lighting, but the cauldron lighting in Atlanta, he said,
Speaker 1: when Ali appeared, the world heard the loudest hush in
Speaker 1: human history, because when he came up over the rim
Speaker 1: of the stadium and the public saw him, it wasn't
Speaker 1: initially cheers, It was as kind of an enormous a
Speaker 1: kind of sound that was just everywhere. And what a
Speaker 1: lot of people forget. They spent a fortune building this
Speaker 1: ramp on the exterior of what became Turner Field so
Speaker 1: that the athletes could gradually walk up five stories and
Speaker 1: come up over the rim of the stadium, as opposed
Speaker 1: to in the past all Olympic ceremonies they come walking
Speaker 1: in some gate into the stadium, but here they just appeared.
Speaker 1: And when they saw the athletes coming up and then
Speaker 1: they saw Ali emerge, it was just unbelievable. And as
Speaker 1: it was, his courage was on display. And I suggested people,
Speaker 1: I don't know how often you'll be seen again. Now
Speaker 1: we've just had the anniversary, but watch as he holds
Speaker 1: that torch to light the arrow on, not the arrow,
Speaker 1: but the thing that looked like a little rocket that
Speaker 1: was going to shoot up and light the cauldron. And
Speaker 1: the flames are licking back across his forearms, and I
Speaker 1: kept thinking, how much longer can you hold us? Because
Speaker 1: it's got to be burning this the top of his arms,
Speaker 1: But he did until this thing lived. He was an amazing,
Speaker 1: amazing character. And I knew him beforehand because of my
Speaker 1: days in wide world of sports of the ABC, but
Speaker 1: I did get to know him better through the years
Speaker 1: after that. In fact, Susan gave a birthday party for
Speaker 1: me my fiftieth in ninety seven, and it was in
Speaker 1: a theater off Broadway and it was the theme was
Speaker 1: This is Your Life and they had cost us play
Speaker 1: the role of was his name Ralph Edwards? Was he
Speaker 1: the host of This is Your Life? Yeah? And he
Speaker 1: had a script inside the book and the voices would go,
Speaker 1: I remember the time, blah blah blah, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden out would come like Bill Russell and Russell Russell,
Speaker 1: who was and still is a very good friend. That
Speaker 1: goes all the way back to me being a teenage
Speaker 1: production assistant doing NBA Games while I was still a
Speaker 1: student at Yale. Russell told the story of the two
Speaker 1: of us not knowing it or driving up Route five
Speaker 1: from LA to San Francisco, him on his way home
Speaker 1: to Seattle. I didn't know he was doing this, and
Speaker 1: I was in a Porsche. I'd been unceremoniously let go
Speaker 1: by NBC Entertainment at some point before that, so I
Speaker 1: had decided. I woke up one morning and I I said,
Speaker 1: I'm going to see if I can make it from
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills to the Saint Francis Hotel in San Francisco
Speaker 1: and under five hours. Insane, I mean, whatever I was thinking.
Speaker 1: So I'm going out Route five at over one hundred
Speaker 1: miles an hour, and I know this, at this bug,
Speaker 1: this Volkswagen bug hardtops. It keeps getting closer, and he's
Speaker 1: like hanging off the left side of my car, but
Speaker 1: not quite where I can see the driver. And then
Speaker 1: I realized I can't see the driver. And then suddenly
Speaker 1: the thing pulls dead even and the horn starts beeping,
Speaker 1: and I look and Russell has leaned forward from the
Speaker 1: back sheet and looked at me, and he's smiling. I
Speaker 1: know he's cackling because he doesn't laugh. He cackles, and
Speaker 1: we pull off a Route five and he tells me
Speaker 1: that he's gone down to pick up this car. He'd
Speaker 1: always wanted to have a Volkswagen Bug, so he'd remove
Speaker 1: the front seats and had an oversized seat put in
Speaker 1: the back of it. And he drove from back there,
Speaker 1: Dan and we just stood by the side of the road.
Speaker 1: And he was here when the Hall of Fame ceremonies
Speaker 1: took place recently in Connecticut and Massachusetts. He stayed here
Speaker 1: with Susie and I and his wife and his godson,
Speaker 1: you know, his godsons, Sean Kemp June Remember Sean. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I played for Seattle. Did did uh Bob Costas know
Speaker 1: the night of the ceremony, the opening ceremonies with the
Speaker 1: torch with Ali? Did he know? No? I never told
Speaker 1: he or Edburg and I only had one conversation about it.
Speaker 1: It was somebody else that I don't think you know,
Speaker 1: so I won't mention their name. I just said, I
Speaker 1: think these guys are such solid pros that their excitement
Speaker 1: and their immediate recall of anything that was important about
Speaker 1: Ali would easily meet the test. And I didn't tell them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they were you know when you hear the tape
Speaker 1: even today, they're both extraordinary. I mean, Edinburgh is truly surprised.
Speaker 1: Dick Hes got a bunch of famous for for his
Speaker 1: O miyes. Yeah, I was just curious. But um bobs
Speaker 1: a recall was splendid. Oh yeah, Like I mean, you
Speaker 1: had to have complete trust in them, and rightfully so
Speaker 1: that you know they would handle the surprise, but they
Speaker 1: would also give you the backdrop of what this moment means,
Speaker 1: that Ali battling Parkinson's you know, even Janet Evans handing
Speaker 1: it off to Ali. I forgot about little Janet Evans
Speaker 1: the swimmer there. Ye Before I let you go, can
Speaker 1: I want to ask one Saturday Night Live question? Do
Speaker 1: you remember Eddie Murphy's audition or the reaction to No,
Speaker 1: I don't. And here's the interesting thing. When I went
Speaker 1: back to the show about two years after Lauren left
Speaker 1: the first time, Yeah, we'd started the show together. I
Speaker 1: left after a bunch of years. He stayed for probably
Speaker 1: five or six longer, and then he left and the
Speaker 1: person who succeeded him just didn't know what to do,
Speaker 1: and the show rapidly fell apart, Lauren was asked to
Speaker 1: go back. He still said no. He didn't like Silverman,
Speaker 1: nor did I. But Brandon Tartakoff, who was my best
Speaker 1: friend from college years and until the day he died,
Speaker 1: he talked me into it and I came back. I
Speaker 1: did not know Eddie other than from being amazed at
Speaker 1: just how funny he was in the few shows I
Speaker 1: had watched in that period, because the show wasn't very
Speaker 1: good other than him, And when I got there, it
Speaker 1: took me about one week to decide that the quickest
Speaker 1: way to at least send the message out that the
Speaker 1: show was back. I constructed the show that the first
Speaker 1: three acts, which is basically eleven thirty to midnight, that
Speaker 1: Eddie would be in every one of them, and they
Speaker 1: would be ones that he had conceived and worked on
Speaker 1: with these two writers who were his partners in Crime
Speaker 1: Come Comedy, Crime all the way until today. They'd written
Speaker 1: all his movies that David Sheffield and Berry Bloasting, and
Speaker 1: he was well, he was eighteen when I got there.
Speaker 1: He was eighteen when I got there, and he he
Speaker 1: carried the show. I'll tell you one one story that
Speaker 1: you'll just love, So I get back on the show
Speaker 1: for several months, maybe six, and the security people have
Speaker 1: called upstairs at the NBC and said that, oh god,
Speaker 1: it was the name of the famous children's show. Mister
Speaker 1: Rogers was downstairs and I wanted to see me, so
Speaker 1: they brought him upstairs and he sat with me, and
Speaker 1: he just told me how disappointed he was that Eddie
Speaker 1: was doing mister Robinson's neighborhood. He thought it was too
Speaker 1: tough on the show, and I said, no, it's as
Speaker 1: loving as you can get. It's him adapting it to
Speaker 1: the circumstances of what a young black kid would fully understand,
Speaker 1: and it probably was already a fan of mister Rogers,
Speaker 1: and he he just didn't want to accept it. I
Speaker 1: walked him down the hall to a room where ed
Speaker 1: he was with his two writers, and they talked him
Speaker 1: for a while. He was charmed by it, but he
Speaker 1: came back to my honest, and he still said, I
Speaker 1: still wish you can do it. But I just decided
Speaker 1: to keep hearing it and continued to be one of
Speaker 1: the two or three things two audiences wanted to watch
Speaker 1: the most, and it was a loving Characterature did you
Speaker 1: try to get mister Rogers on Saturday Night Live with
Speaker 1: But of course he didn't want it, didn't want mister
Speaker 1: Rogers to Aaron where so there were no way behind
Speaker 1: earth he was accept an invitation to come through the show.
Speaker 1: So I never made the offer because he was really
Speaker 1: disappointed that I wasn't just ending it to Aaron. Then
Speaker 1: met my office. Hey Dick, it's great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: As always, I hope you're doing well. My best to
Speaker 1: Susan and the family. And thank you again too. You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's Dick Eversaw, TV executive Senior Advisor for
Speaker 1: NBC Universal Sports the Olympics, former chairman of NBC Sports
Speaker 1: once my boss there at NBC. It's one of those
Speaker 1: where when he holds court and he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of stories to tell, a lot of stories to tell.
Speaker 1: But going back and I, you know, PAULI said, do
Speaker 1: you realize Costas didn't know that Muhammad Ali was going
Speaker 1: to light the torch? And I I can't imagine that Bob,
Speaker 1: being the perfectionist that he is, would allow that to
Speaker 1: happen without at least having a sense of the magnitude
Speaker 1: of the But you know what Dick Eversaw was trying
Speaker 1: to do is he wanted it to be a secret,
Speaker 1: and he wanted the announcers to have the same reaction.
Speaker 1: And Paul, He's done this to me before he goes. Look,
Speaker 1: if I find out something, do you want to know
Speaker 1: it or would you rather react, you know, normally or naturally?
Speaker 1: And I and I said, you know, that really depends.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I if I can
Speaker 1: add something to it, or I need to do research
Speaker 1: to add something to it. Yeah, pol One that stands
Speaker 1: out about whatever the year was that Brett Farve retired
Speaker 1: from the Packers or left the Packers. Jay Glazer called
Speaker 1: in text in and said, I've got a bomb. I've
Speaker 1: got a monster, and we put Jay on hold, and
Speaker 1: I told you to put Jay on without you knowing
Speaker 1: what Jay had to report. And so when you heard
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer say Brett Farve is going to announce his
Speaker 1: retirement tomorrow, you heard at the same time ever, all
Speaker 1: our listeners did, and it was a I thought it
Speaker 1: was a cool that way. Yeah, but if I'm hosting
Speaker 1: the Olympics, I would like to know a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But I mean, Bob is such a professional in dick
Speaker 1: Enburg rest his soul, you know, you got the the
Speaker 1: over the top reaction from dick Enburg with the oh
Speaker 1: my and Bob giving you the backdrop on Muhammad Ali
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's up there and when you
Speaker 1: realize he's shaking because he has Parkinson's, Like I worry
Speaker 1: even I'm watching it. I know how it ends. And
Speaker 1: he can only use one hand and those flames are
Speaker 1: coming up his forearm. But he he had created such
Speaker 1: goodwill by nineteen ninety six that if you would have
Speaker 1: said to him in nineteen sixty eight or sixty nine
Speaker 1: or seventy, you know, one day you're gonna light the
Speaker 1: Olympic torch, the flame the cauldron, probably would have said
Speaker 1: you're crazy. Because I think when Ali got back from
Speaker 1: winning the gold medal in Rome, he threw his medal
Speaker 1: into the river in Louisville. And I think there was,
Speaker 1: you know, a racial situation in Rome, and he had
Speaker 1: won the gold medal and he came home and he
Speaker 1: threw his gold medal away. Let's take a break. I
Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed. That might have been a little bit
Speaker 1: out of left field, but just remembering that back and
Speaker 1: also Eddie Murphy, if you want to talk about going
Speaker 1: from zero to sixty. When people become an overnight sensation.
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy became an overnight sensation, like a true overnight sensation.
Speaker 1: He went. It wasn't zero to sixty, it was zero
Speaker 1: to one hundred. And he might have started in October
Speaker 1: and by December he's on magazine covers. He was that
Speaker 1: big a deal back then. Seventeen after the hour, take
Speaker 1: a break here on the Dan Patrick Show. If you
Speaker 1: feel exhausted in the morning, mentally or physically, that's not normal.
Speaker 1: That's why I want to tell you about him. Dry

Speaker 1: live on the Peacock APPH Bad news for the La
Speaker 1: Rams running back Cam Akers? Is it a torn achilles PAULI? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's according to Adam Schefter. Nice running back. Yeah, good
Speaker 1: story too. Oh that's sad. So he's done for the year.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much depth they have a running back.
Speaker 1: I just know Acres. You know, when they when they
Speaker 1: overpaid for Todd Gurley and then they finally got rid
Speaker 1: of Todd Gurley and Cam Akers came in and he
Speaker 1: had a nice season last year. I don't know what
Speaker 1: his numbers are, but it always felt like that they
Speaker 1: had a legitimate running game with cam Akers. But Achilles,
Speaker 1: was this off season work out because they're not even
Speaker 1: a camp yet. Yeah, very few detail. Schefter has that
Speaker 1: the Rams have an announced. He said he underwent testing
Speaker 1: to confirm the injury. No word from the Rams as
Speaker 1: of Tuesday morning. Buck and Ears at the White House today? Um,
Speaker 1: can you imagine Gronk at the White House talk about
Speaker 1: the Bowl in China closet? Does he show up with
Speaker 1: no sleeves on? Do they have fun at all at
Speaker 1: the White House? Can you, like, what would you want
Speaker 1: to do if you only get to go there once?
Speaker 1: And let's see, you're a football player, you would want
Speaker 1: to go out to the rose garden or the lawn
Speaker 1: and throw football. You can't bring fifty sixty guys into
Speaker 1: the Oval office. I'm guessing that seems like the peak,
Speaker 1: doesn't it of the White House visit? Nobody gets in
Speaker 1: the Oval Office. Kim Kardashian did she did? Yeah? So
Speaker 1: if you're like an individual, yeah, but a group can't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If Tom Brady went there as an individual, then he'd
Speaker 1: get in the Oval office. That seems to be peak
Speaker 1: White House visiness. Yeah, but Kim Kardashian got into the
Speaker 1: Oval Office when when she was there to talk about
Speaker 1: prison reform with a President Trump, yampo. Would you rather
Speaker 1: visit a president of your choice in the White House
Speaker 1: and be in the Oval Office with him or fly
Speaker 1: with that press same president? Air Force one, same amount
Speaker 1: of time you get like an hour in the Oval
Speaker 1: Office or Air Force one? I think can I would
Speaker 1: do Air Force one because there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people have been to the White House, but you get
Speaker 1: to be on Air Force one? Can you order whatever
Speaker 1: you want? No? Just play? You know when when your
Speaker 1: kids if you sit in first class and they play
Speaker 1: with all the buttons or they get into a new
Speaker 1: car and they're pressing all the buttons. Is that we
Speaker 1: would probably what's this dude? No? No, no, no, what
Speaker 1: about that? What's this dude? Yes? Due? And just the
Speaker 1: size of Air Force one, I mean it's gigantic, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely massive. That would that's a pretty unique experience.
Speaker 1: I would think air Force one would be pretty good. Yes,
Speaker 1: And one of the president's kids is kicking the back
Speaker 1: of your seat whole office like they're gonna be sitting
Speaker 1: behind you. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how you're seated.
Speaker 1: Is is it like Warren Buffett and you know the
Speaker 1: billionaires where they have couches in there. I think it's
Speaker 1: not just you know, rows of seeds. I think that's
Speaker 1: in the back for the press corps. I don't think everybody.
Speaker 1: I gotta play peekaboo with the President's kid for forty
Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, yeah, fully, I always I'm fascinated by
Speaker 1: the White House, the inner workings. When Jerry Seinfeld did
Speaker 1: Comedians and Cars getting coffee with Pres Obama, he said,
Speaker 1: how far could you walk in your residence side in
Speaker 1: your underwear until you encounter someone like a security person?
Speaker 1: And of course he didn't answer because I don't walk
Speaker 1: around the in my underwear. But it's fascinating to see,
Speaker 1: like how much my privacy does the president have? Like
Speaker 1: at night? Can you take a walk without seeing a
Speaker 1: security person? Seinfeld should have asked Bill Clinton that question,
Speaker 1: how far can you walk and you're under I go
Speaker 1: off to the Rose Garden, abu scabies. Wouldn't you like
Speaker 1: to have Matthew McConaughey interview Bill Clinton or just have
Speaker 1: them have a conversation. R R, get back my hair
Speaker 1: stringer guy? Or can we put Bill Clinton in all
Speaker 1: of Matthew McConaughey's roles. You know what, put him in
Speaker 1: those Lincoln commercials. Let him, let him do whatever those
Speaker 1: commercials like can you go? Can you imagine watching those
Speaker 1: commercials with Matthew McConaughey and going, I'm gonna buy me
Speaker 1: a Lincoln. Hey, Like there's a Hey, here's a big
Speaker 1: steer in the middle of the road. I'm gonna buy
Speaker 1: a Lincoln. Hey, I'm playing pool at my house, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave and get my car. I'm gonna buy
Speaker 1: a Lincoln. It's a baller house, though it is. This
Speaker 1: baby's cool. He want the Aco, But why why does
Speaker 1: he leave his own house while people are there at
Speaker 1: his house? Unless he's I love this car. See like
Speaker 1: the Wild Turkey commercial where he's out in the middle
Speaker 1: of the field somewhere and there's light strung up somehow.
Speaker 1: I guess they had a generator and he's also playing
Speaker 1: a piano, which must have been heaviest hell to get
Speaker 1: all the way out into the middle of that field.
Speaker 1: But damn, it looked like a good party. Damn. Yes
Speaker 1: time it's a nice sunset, but stopping it's a family
Speaker 1: of oxen crosses the street. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: making me rush to ox healership oxen. Oxen doesn't come
Speaker 1: up as nearly as it should, as enough as it should.
Speaker 1: You just don't get oxen in a conversation. Yes, done,
Speaker 1: I was gonna give you a poll questioned update. Just
Speaker 1: felt like it. Just change it up a little bit. Yeah, Sure,
Speaker 1: Rogers holds out in place for the Packers this season.
Speaker 1: Fifty Rogers reports to camp on time thirty eight percent.
Speaker 1: Rogers gets traded eight percent. Because now it's getting to
Speaker 1: the point where I want something to happen. Now I
Speaker 1: want Rodgers to get traded. He holds out, he retires,
Speaker 1: he goes to Jeopardy like something. And even though I've
Speaker 1: said all along, I think he's going to play for
Speaker 1: the Packers at this point, don't you want something to happen?
Speaker 1: Just you feel like, okay, now it was worth it
Speaker 1: through all of this, all of the updates, all the tweets,
Speaker 1: all that I'm hearing the inside information, and then he's
Speaker 1: just gonna show up and go, yeah, I'm ready to play. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the tough thing is at this point, it's
Speaker 1: hard to picture a trade partner if there was a
Speaker 1: trade that was going to happen, It doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: there's that many teams that are in that position. If
Speaker 1: you took a team like throughout the Miami Dolphins, they
Speaker 1: if they wanted to give up a guy like two,
Speaker 1: they would give him to Houston. Yeah, not to the Packer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Packers supposedly have a quarterback and waiting. Yes, and then
Speaker 1: what do you do with Drew Locke? If you're Denver?
Speaker 1: If because Green Bay does didn't want another young quarterback,
Speaker 1: they already have him, what do you what do you do?
Speaker 1: Is Drew Locke the backup if Aaron Rodgers goes to Denver.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm trying to understand. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: be realistic about this and understand it. What is it
Speaker 1: They Aaron Rodgers once and can the Packers give it
Speaker 1: to him? And if not, then let's move on because
Speaker 1: after a while, if if Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to
Speaker 1: play for you, is Jordan Love ready? And the answer
Speaker 1: is no, because if Jordan's Love was ready, then I
Speaker 1: think the Packers early on would have said, all right,
Speaker 1: you got a problem with us, We're gonna trade you
Speaker 1: and We're going to decide where you're going. How's that?
Speaker 1: Because then you feel Jordan's love is ready Jordan loves
Speaker 1: not or they would they probably call us bluff and say,
Speaker 1: all right, you want to you want out of here,
Speaker 1: We're gonna send you too, and then fill in the blank.
Speaker 1: Bob and Seattle joins us. Hi, Bob, would's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? Morning? A six ft one eighty great interviews today?
Speaker 1: I looked up the video for Muhammad Ali lighting the cauldron.
Speaker 1: I'm a heavy equipment foreman here in Seattle and I'm
Speaker 1: sitting in my truck bawling my eyes out. It's just fantastic.
Speaker 1: But so I wanted to ask you, like, is there
Speaker 1: any event or sport you or the Danets are looking
Speaker 1: forward to watching the Olympics this year? Go Hawks A
Speaker 1: thank you, Bob, Simone Biles, you know that that's why
Speaker 1: we get in this business, that you're able to witness history,
Speaker 1: having the opportunity to contrast and compare with other Olympic
Speaker 1: athletes that you've seen. Or it might be another sport,
Speaker 1: but I would say Simone Biles definitely and Katie Ladecki,
Speaker 1: those would be the two athletes that stand out I
Speaker 1: don't know, but this is the beauty of the Olympics.
Speaker 1: There's always a story or stories that emerge where you go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I never thought I would be interested
Speaker 1: in this team handball, judo, something comes up where you go,
Speaker 1: I never thought I'd be interested in this. It's like, uh,
Speaker 1: let's see curling during the Winter Olympics. People love curling,
Speaker 1: love it. I go back to when I covered the
Speaker 1: Olympic triumphs for curling and Stevens Point, Wisconsin and I
Speaker 1: went and it was it was fascinating, like they were
Speaker 1: going to be on the Olympic team, and you're thinking,
Speaker 1: this is this sport is going to be in the Olympics,
Speaker 1: and uh just they were serious when they got on
Speaker 1: the ice and then you know, there was a keg
Speaker 1: of beer afterwards. But I was just fascinated with that,
Speaker 1: just the lifestyle. And somebody says, you know, I'd like
Speaker 1: to grow up to be a pitcher or a quarterback.
Speaker 1: What do you want to be when you grow up, Timmy?
Speaker 1: A curler? Um, okay, how do you do that? Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: If they added beer to Olympic curling, the ratings would
Speaker 1: go through the roof. Can you imagine what the guy's got,
Speaker 1: the little sweeper thing and like a couzi in his hand, Hams.
Speaker 1: I don't think that you could sweep while having a
Speaker 1: beer on NBC. Yeah, see it's a quick Matthew McConaughey update,
Speaker 1: former People's World Sexiest Man. Yeah, this week the cover
Speaker 1: story of AARP magazine. How about that? Welcome to the club? Welcome? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Who's the same age as Matthew McConaughey. I think Fritzie
Speaker 1: and I are. I think he's born about a month
Speaker 1: before or after us, same year, same months an yeah,
Speaker 1: right around that. I mean, how crazy is that? Crazy?
Speaker 1: Bobby and Cincinnati joins us. Hey, Bob, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? Good morning? Thank you for taking my call today,
Speaker 1: first time call love Skyline. I'm calling to see what
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Todd either doing mock headlines or
Speaker 1: a limerick on the skyline situation? Okay, all right, thank you, Bobby.
Speaker 1: Can you pull together a limerick in the next twenty
Speaker 1: minutes and do it for Cincinnati. One of the one
Speaker 1: of the top trending topics in America has to do
Speaker 1: with the Cincinnati Chilei known as gold Star. I'm on
Speaker 1: the case. Okay, what voice you be doing it in?
Speaker 1: I will do it in Mike Tyson's voice. Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: does a limerick on gold Star Chili. That's ratings gold,
Speaker 1: right there, ratings gold. Cameron in Chicago, Hey, Cam Hey,
Speaker 1: six foot one seventy five had two statements. One is,
Speaker 1: I think Skyline would be more considered a molee than
Speaker 1: chili than a traditional chilia. It's got chocolate and cinnamon
Speaker 1: in it, not ingredients typically sound and good chili. And
Speaker 1: then the second is Chris Baller GM for the Year. Alright, alright, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Karen. Uh. I don't know where that came
Speaker 1: from with Chris Bower, but good luck with the colts there. Well,
Speaker 1: if they pull off, you know this trade in Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz proves to be an all pro again, then uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be GM of the Year. Yeah. Po. More importantly,
Speaker 1: he's cracked. A mole is like a sauce, a thick
Speaker 1: sauce with fruit, not chili, pepper, a little spice, but
Speaker 1: also cinnamon to give it some sweetness. That's a good
Speaker 1: comparison for Skylight Chili. Molae is uh, you know, more
Speaker 1: of a Mexican or Spanish restaurant. I think. I think
Speaker 1: there's a restaurant in New York in the West Village
Speaker 1: called Molay. If you take the accent off its mole.
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, Hey, where are you going? Moles? I
Speaker 1: don't know? You walk in? The bartender's got one of
Speaker 1: those big moles on his face. It's like mo, Mose
Speaker 1: Tavern or Mose bar in Simpsons? Did be just mole? Hey?
Speaker 1: Why do they call you? Okay? What's in my soup?
Speaker 1: I'm away home, I'll stop stop off, pick up some males.
Speaker 1: What was the Austin Powers where Fred Savage didn't he
Speaker 1: have a Did the mole grow on his face or
Speaker 1: was it? Did it move there? I just remember that
Speaker 1: you would he would look at Fred's savage, I think,
Speaker 1: and then it got bigger. Yes, fully. There's also the
Speaker 1: scene in Uncle Buck where John Candy is the uncle
Speaker 1: and he goes to school to check out one of
Speaker 1: the kids and he's talking to the principal and the
Speaker 1: princips got this gigantic oversized mole and he's trying to
Speaker 1: talk about it and he keeps making reference to it.
Speaker 1: I'm Molly Russell's wart melanoma. Yeah, but that's a crazy
Speaker 1: Bretton Wisconsin. Hi Brett, what's on your mind? But how's
Speaker 1: how's it going? Great? Yeah? What's on your mind? Oh?
Speaker 1: Just first off, one to say bucks and six tonight? Uh?
Speaker 1: Then seconds, uh, let's stop giving fire to uh Adam
Speaker 1: Schefter that that's gotta end. That guy's inside information is
Speaker 1: terrible because I have some real stuff for you. All right, So,
Speaker 1: uh we all know Rogers paid for his golf membership
Speaker 1: at the private course in Green Bay. Yeah, his house
Speaker 1: is being cleaned tomorrow, deep clean, waiting for his arrival.
Speaker 1: And he just paid for his hanger, his private hangar
Speaker 1: at the airport in Green Bay. How long do you
Speaker 1: have to pay for that hangar? It's renewed every year.
Speaker 1: Oh so, but but it is it is for a
Speaker 1: year that he's going to have his private hangar there. Correct.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you Breton. I appreciate that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this ends. I don't And Bretton
Speaker 1: has had some information for us here. Uh you know
Speaker 1: the golf course, that is true, he upped his reapped
Speaker 1: his membership there. I don't know about the deep cleaning
Speaker 1: at his house. But if Chefty reports this in two
Speaker 1: minutes then I'm gonna I'm gonna throw the BS flag
Speaker 1: on Chefty and I'm hearing Greeney, I'm hearing that Aaron
Speaker 1: Rods is having a deep clean done to his house there. Well,
Speaker 1: you can deep clean it if you're gonna sell it, right,
Speaker 1: of course, you can twist it anyway you want. Preparing
Speaker 1: for a sale. Question being staged right now? Oh okay,
Speaker 1: I love it. It's it's just I hate it, But
Speaker 1: there's part of me that that loves it because there's
Speaker 1: always like, just give me things to talk about, but
Speaker 1: I want i want legitimate things to talk about. Not
Speaker 1: I'm hearing sources close to me, even though bretton Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: you know, he renewed his airplane hangar and his golf
Speaker 1: membership and he's having his house deep clean. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that. Yeah. See, Brett just gave us the
Speaker 1: cousin of oh no, they're definitely going to this city.
Speaker 1: Their wife was there looking at schools something. There's always
Speaker 1: that report like, oh no, Lebron definitely going to the Sixers.
Speaker 1: They were there looking at schools for the kids. That
Speaker 1: is true. That was a big deal. That always happens. Yeah,

Speaker 1: A dan Patrick dot com. We'll get to those phone
Speaker 1: calls coming on the day in sports history. What we
Speaker 1: learn all of that, And let's start with Jeff in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Dp? Hey, But so all this Olympic talk
Speaker 1: kinda reminded me about something here. Doesn't Paulie have a
Speaker 1: bet that if Michael Phelps doesn't compete in this year's Olympics,
Speaker 1: he has to wear a full of Michael Phelps speedo
Speaker 1: swimming outfit. Yes, for an entire show? Yes, all right,
Speaker 1: I just I just wanted to make sure that was
Speaker 1: still going to happen, because I've been I've been waiting
Speaker 1: for four five years now for all Thank you Jeff
Speaker 1: for reminding us. We have so many bets that happened
Speaker 1: during the show and after the show and before the show.
Speaker 1: We forget, but we do. We do rely on the
Speaker 1: audience to remind us. But when the Olympics were delayed
Speaker 1: last year, Paully was holding out hope that Michael Phelps
Speaker 1: was somehow going to go to the Olympic trials and
Speaker 1: he was going to be on a relay team. But yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: you're running out of time with Michael Phelps getting in
Speaker 1: the pool. And you know me, I'll use semantics when
Speaker 1: I can to get out of a bet yep. Because
Speaker 1: I saw today or the other day, NBC tweeted out
Speaker 1: Michael Phelps heading to Tokyo for the Olympics. I'm like
Speaker 1: that that kind of counts close. He's got to get
Speaker 1: in the pool. But does he do a yes, does
Speaker 1: he get in the pool doing a demonstration? I think
Speaker 1: he's got to compete. But I would say, Paul, I'd
Speaker 1: get ready for Michael Phelps. Speed up. I had five
Speaker 1: and a half years to lose weight and I still
Speaker 1: didn't do it. Five years I had to lose And
Speaker 1: I want you to have the goggles to the squizz
Speaker 1: swim cat. You don't have to do the no those things.
Speaker 1: They don't they don't do those things. Todd, do you
Speaker 1: have a limerick with gold Star chilli? You know what
Speaker 1: I do? Or skyline chilling? Now this is gold start.
Speaker 1: Actually does Mike Tyson have a limerick? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is Mike. Okay, So Mike Tyson doing a gold
Speaker 1: Star chili limerick. You prefer skyline. Don't be silly. You
Speaker 1: can't approach this willy nilly, whether you're sickin ey or
Speaker 1: a fatty, if you're hungry in the natty, don't biting
Speaker 1: or eat gold star chili. Hey, that that was great?
Speaker 1: Then the laugh is just wonderful. God, I gotta get
Speaker 1: Tyson in studio. See what I did? I made a
Speaker 1: reference to Bingle. I might say that was Todd's best
Speaker 1: limerick ever ever. Yeah, I don't know of another one
Speaker 1: that rivals that. Limericks cleverly worded. His impression was good.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the judges. So see that's
Speaker 1: a that's a ten, Paulie, would you give Fritzie? I
Speaker 1: both laughed lightly and clapped. Okay, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: a solid nine nine point four. I'm thrilled with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: take the rest of the week offs. We already have
Speaker 1: one in Iceland. Friends like that. Who needs enemies? My right? Deal.
Speaker 1: That's the actual Mike Tyson laughing. And sometimes he would
Speaker 1: laugh and it wasn't at something funny, or you didn't
Speaker 1: think that it was funny, but then he would just laugh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'd just say something like, people always want to ask
Speaker 1: you about my boxing career. Why is that laugh at?
Speaker 1: I know it just it's so random where you go.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's laughing at. He used to
Speaker 1: pick on me when I was a little PAULI the
Speaker 1: stage of marg gotta follow that. Eighteen fifty nine, Brooklyn
Speaker 1: and New York professional baseball teams played a game at
Speaker 1: Fashion Park Racecourse in Long Island. At mission was charged
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. To see a professional baseball
Speaker 1: game is fifty cents to get in in eighteen fifty nine,
Speaker 1: and the players on the field did not receive a salary.
Speaker 1: In nineteen forty seven, this is kind of a big one,
Speaker 1: the NFL ruled that no professional team could sign a
Speaker 1: player that had college eligibility remaining, thus set up the NCAA.
Speaker 1: So a ruling by the NFL gave the NSA the
Speaker 1: power to keep athletes in school. Let's see, Oh, this
Speaker 1: is a good two thousand and three, Ben Curtis, an
Speaker 1: unknown PGA Tour rookie, in his first time playing in
Speaker 1: a major, won the British Open. Yeah, that was at
Speaker 1: Royal Saint George's where they just played in fact, I
Speaker 1: think we had him in studio after he won them.
Speaker 1: On this date in nineteen seventy three, wilbur Wood started
Speaker 1: and lost both games of a doubleheader. He lost twelve
Speaker 1: to two and seven nothing. Wilbur Wood started both ends
Speaker 1: of a double header, both ends, and I think at
Speaker 1: the time they had the pin stripes with the red.
Speaker 1: They were white uniforms red pin stripe and that was
Speaker 1: when Dick Allen was on the on the team the
Speaker 1: White Sox. Let me see get a couple more phone
Speaker 1: calls Alex in Wisconsin, Hi, Alex, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: And Dan and the Danets five ten one? So, with
Speaker 1: Game six of the Finals being in Milwaukee tonight and
Speaker 1: Rogers having a stake in the team, I gotta think
Speaker 1: you might be making an appearance. You think that Packers
Speaker 1: released the contract information before the game to have a
Speaker 1: little battle for Wisconsin sports trains hearts. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but that could be the call of the week there, Alex,
Speaker 1: call back tomorrow, take a victory lap if that were
Speaker 1: to happen. I don't think this is from the Packers.
Speaker 1: This feels now, it does It does make it seem
Speaker 1: like the Packers tried to keep him. But I don't
Speaker 1: think that's been a secret. They've tried to keep him.
Speaker 1: They want to keep him. They were going to extend
Speaker 1: his contract, making the highest paid player in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Aaron Rodgers showing up tonight sitting next
Speaker 1: to David Baktr chugging beers. It'd be great. But if
Speaker 1: he shows up wharing a Broncos hat like that, you know,
Speaker 1: then then I think we got an idea of how
Speaker 1: this is gonna not gonna work out well with those fans.
Speaker 1: It's not it is the Venison section will just brush him.
Speaker 1: Brian in South Carolina, Hi, Brian, what's on your mind? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, being down here in South Carolina,
Speaker 1: we have probably too many Ohio transfers down here and
Speaker 1: working in the bar industry. I ran into four co workers,
Speaker 1: all from Cincinnati, and after a night of playing drinking games, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were like, we're gonna eat some Skyline chili. I
Speaker 1: think I've heard you guys talk about this stuff, and
Speaker 1: I thought's six ft two forty three, anything with creak
Speaker 1: and cheese is pretty good. And I found it to
Speaker 1: be a little bit better than my step family from Detroit,
Speaker 1: always putting peanut butter in there chili, So I don't
Speaker 1: know one. Thank you brother, thank you m Yeah, Skyline
Speaker 1: chili is not really chili. It's just a topping. It's
Speaker 1: a little I think that brings on heightened expectations, like, man,
Speaker 1: that's Skyline chili. Like you think they got a big
Speaker 1: potted chili there and it's gonna be so great, get
Speaker 1: those oyster crackers in there, and then you realize that
Speaker 1: it's not exactly chilli. It's just a little topping. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the room. What we learned on the program,
Speaker 1: Toddles starting with you, big time athletes endorsing products are
Speaker 1: more than ever looking for a piece of the company
Speaker 1: they're promoting, as opposed to just a paycheck for doing
Speaker 1: the commercial. Yeah, this is where Shock is making his money.
Speaker 1: He's like, you don't want to pay me, just give
Speaker 1: me a piece of the company. Seaton O'Connor. According to
Speaker 1: John Barry, John small super competitive. Yeah all right. I've
Speaker 1: been around John and he seems mild mannered, but I
Speaker 1: guess that ping pong. He was very competitive when he
Speaker 1: came in studio, and I know he is at golf
Speaker 1: and a Hall of Fame baseball player Pauli. Nineteen year
Speaker 1: old Kobe Bryant used to watch Michael Jordan interviews Todd Wood.
Speaker 1: Did I learn John Barry thinks the Sons are not
Speaker 1: a fractured team. They're confident and we'll likely win the
Speaker 1: whole thing if they could get past Milwaukee tonight. What
Speaker 1: we learned brought to you by Mercedes benz Vans. They
Speaker 1: go far beyond from their customization options, cutting edge tech,
Speaker 1: five stars sales service, financial support crew. Mercedes benz Vans
Speaker 1: build equipped engineer to be ready for anything, go that
Speaker 1: extra mile, taking the all important first step into an
Speaker 1: authorized dealership today. Thanks for the phone calls, emails, tweets.
Speaker 1: We'll recap the game tomorrow and check in with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Hope you'll join us
