Speaker 4: every one of those? And I'm just trying to figure out.
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes we like to watch each other eat
Speaker 4: and tabulate what we're doing.
Speaker 3: Well, you did miss yesterday so only Oh yeah, I'm sorry, Todd.
Speaker 4: It was a high holy day I had, like a
Speaker 4: I didn't go out on my yacht or something like that,
Speaker 4: like sitting home being miserable, not eating anywhere.
Speaker 2: That's your choice, Betty.
Speaker 4: Think I should eat more today because I couldn't fit
Speaker 4: twenty four hours yesterday.
Speaker 3: Tigers beat the Guardians as they advanced, the Cubs over
Speaker 3: the Padres, they advance, and the Yankees blank the Socks.
Speaker 2: They all advance. It was fun yesterday.
Speaker 3: He had quality baseball during the day at night, and
Speaker 3: then big weekend Cubs, Brewers, Yankees, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Phillies, Tigers,
Speaker 3: and the Mariners. And then oh, by the way, the Niners,
Speaker 3: eight and a half point underdogs beat the Rams in
Speaker 3: Los Angeles in overtime, and the biggest play of the
Speaker 3: game in overtime, the Rams go for it on fourth
Speaker 3: and one, and this is how it sounded.
Speaker 2: Fourth down and one for the Rams.
Speaker 7: Niners lead by three, a chance to win it with
Speaker 7: a stop here in overtime. Stafford gets under center at
Speaker 7: the eleven yard line. He takes it, he turns, he
Speaker 7: gives the Karen Williams, he gets packed.
Speaker 2: I think he's.
Speaker 8: Short, Town, I think he's short.
Speaker 2: I have a forty nine ers store in the field.
Speaker 9: It is all over.
Speaker 10: The forty nine.
Speaker 2: Ers have won it in overtime here in LA.
Speaker 3: That's courtesy of KNBR, the Niners radio network. I get
Speaker 3: the call. I'm fine with the call, and you should
Speaker 3: be able to get one yard Kyron Williams. He giveth,
Speaker 3: he taketh the way also had a fumble in there
Speaker 3: as well. Here is Sean McVay on that fourth down
Speaker 3: call in overtime.
Speaker 11: It's a bad call. It's a bad call by me.
Speaker 11: Thought about maybe trying to draw him off sides. I
Speaker 11: took one, they took the other, and it was a
Speaker 11: poor decision by me right there. But you know, you
Speaker 11: give the Niners credit. They made enough plays to be
Speaker 11: able to win the football game. We had plenty of
Speaker 11: chances throughout this game. You know, we stayed in it,
Speaker 11: we fought, we battled. But I'm pretty sick right now.
Speaker 11: I'm sick of the spot that I put our group
Speaker 11: in to end the game. But hey, these are the
Speaker 11: tough beats that you got to be able to learn
Speaker 11: from and move forward, and that's what we're going to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't like the call. Wasn't very creative. Now
Speaker 3: they can't do it, you know, a tush push with
Speaker 3: Stafford in there. But I was a little bit surprised
Speaker 3: because Sewan is such a great offensive minded head coach.
Speaker 3: But give the Niners credit. It wasn't a question of
Speaker 3: who they had, but who they didn't. Have in that game.
Speaker 3: But that's the wounded animal and they were certainly that
Speaker 3: last night. You know, they stumbled into Rock party and
Speaker 3: they're stumbling into mac Jones. Give him credit, mac Jones.
Speaker 3: When you know, we realized that Rock Purty wasn't going
Speaker 3: to be able to play a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 3: I said, they're not going to lose much.
Speaker 2: Mac Jones is good.
Speaker 3: You just don't want to believe it because what happened
Speaker 3: in New England when he had an offensive coordinator, they
Speaker 3: made the playoffs and he was a Pro Bowl quarterback.
Speaker 3: After that, I think he was dealt a bad hand.
Speaker 3: I think you had, you know, mixed emotions opinions on
Speaker 3: him as your franchise quarterback. The Niners were interested in
Speaker 3: him going into the draft, and they decided that they
Speaker 3: weren't going to take him. They went all in on
Speaker 3: Trey Lance, but they were interested in mac Jones. And
Speaker 3: now they got mac Jones and.
Speaker 2: He's played well.
Speaker 3: I couldn't help but think of the Bengals when I'm
Speaker 3: watching mac Jones, because they got somebody who has played
Speaker 3: at a pretty high level and he's your backup. You
Speaker 3: didn't spend a lot of money and then you have
Speaker 3: the Bengals with Jake Browning. Now I'm not saying that
Speaker 3: Mac Jones is the second coming of Joe Burrow, but
Speaker 3: if you have those weapons and you have an experienced quarterback,
Speaker 3: you might salvage something here. You know, this is the
Speaker 3: difference of the Niners with all their injuries. They're four
Speaker 3: and one and the Bengals are two and two, But
Speaker 3: it feels like a shaky, shakey two and two with
Speaker 3: Jake Browning.
Speaker 2: All right, eight seven seven to three.
Speaker 3: DP show email address dpat dan Patrick dot com Twitter
Speaker 3: handle a DP show come up with the pole question,
Speaker 3: got our play of the day stat of the day.
Speaker 3: Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock CC Sabathia Hall
Speaker 3: of Famer will join us. He'll recap the baseball and
Speaker 3: then he'll preview the weekend matchups as well. He'll join
Speaker 3: us in an hour.
Speaker 2: Kurt will stop by.
Speaker 3: He'll preview the game's coming up this weekend and recap
Speaker 3: what we saw last night between these two teams. I
Speaker 3: had Christian McCaffrey as the Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 3: Pookainakua is the leading candidate right now according to DraftKings
Speaker 3: and followed by Christian McCaffrey. Now McCaffrey didn't get a
Speaker 3: lot of yards running, but you still want to go
Speaker 3: to him, you still want to be able to control
Speaker 3: the clock. He had twenty two carries, he had eight catches.
Speaker 3: That's the difference there. But Pooka Akua he had ten catches.
Speaker 3: Now they held him under one hundred yards, but he's
Speaker 3: plus two seventy five. Then it's McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Bjeon Robinson,
Speaker 3: and James Cook. That's for the Offensive Player of the year.
Speaker 3: Seton what's the poll question? To start out hour one.
Speaker 10: Oh.
Speaker 3: By the way, Charlie Sheen will join us, and this
Speaker 3: is an interview that we taped two days ago, and
Speaker 3: that'll be coming up in a little more than an
Speaker 3: hour from now. The last time I spoke to him
Speaker 3: was fourteen years ago, February of twenty eleven, little under
Speaker 3: fourteen years ago, and we touched on a variety of things.
Speaker 3: He's got a documentary, he's got a book out and
Speaker 3: as you might expect, Charlie, when we spoke fourteen years ago,
Speaker 3: sounded and looked a whole lot different. And he didn't
Speaker 3: remember the interview that we did or the interviews that
Speaker 3: we did. It was back to back to back, and
Speaker 3: that's what started this crazy, crazy avalanche in his life.
Speaker 3: So we will take a trip down memory lane as
Speaker 3: I try to refresh his memory of what exactly we
Speaker 3: talked about fourteen years ago. All right, Seatan, I told
Speaker 3: you though when we had we're getting ready and I go,
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's going to remember this, and
Speaker 3: he didn't. But we'll bring you that interview we did
Speaker 3: about fourteen or fifteen minutes start to finish. You'll be
Speaker 3: able to hear everything. We didn't take anything out. All right,
Speaker 3: seton poll question.
Speaker 9: There be a Hall of Fame pitcher, hall of Fame?
Speaker 2: Quarterback, quarterback?
Speaker 9: No question?
Speaker 2: Yeah, quarterback quarterback? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12: Is that because of the popularity of the NFL? Yeah,
Speaker 12: or the sort of diminishing of starting pitching.
Speaker 2: Well, if this was.
Speaker 3: In the sixties, seventies, eighties, then I would want to
Speaker 3: be a pitcher. But quarterbacks now that's royalty. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: can go into the Hall of Fame. If I said
Speaker 3: you could be Kurt Warner or CC Sabathia.
Speaker 2: I mean that's the question and that Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Both played on really good teams, high level Hall of famers,
Speaker 3: big and big moments, but both Hall of famers, yes, Ton, But.
Speaker 4: In general, if you have a shaky er a bed
Speaker 4: game in football, you only have a certain amount opportunities.
Speaker 4: In baseball, you got that many more outings to clean
Speaker 4: it up and prove yourself. You know, for me that alone,
Speaker 4: being able to get out there a lot more times
Speaker 4: than seventeen and if you're lucky in one or two
Speaker 4: more more time than that. I would like to be
Speaker 4: able to get the ball back as soon as possible
Speaker 4: if I screwed up.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think quarterbacks are held in higher esteem certainly,
Speaker 3: you know, the last you know, five years, maybe, yeah,
Speaker 3: because once once Kershaw goes and Verlander goes, Max goes,
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of it, you know, maybe schemes
Speaker 3: kind of holds on there. Uh, school ball is the
Speaker 3: best pitcher in baseball. Although the Yankees trotted out Schlitter
Speaker 3: last night and he was spectacular, and you know, a
Speaker 3: big time moment like that, and these these two pitchers,
Speaker 3: both of them look like you know that they were
Speaker 3: still in high school but playing at a very high level,
Speaker 3: and you know, that's a big time moment for you know,
Speaker 3: the Yankees. When you get a pitcher doing something that
Speaker 3: well normally isn't done in the postseason and in the
Speaker 3: history of the Yankees franchise, Cam Schlitter struck out twelve,
Speaker 3: allowed five hits, eight shutout innings, and he's the first
Speaker 3: pitcher in postseason history to throw at least eight shutout innings,
Speaker 3: twelve or more strikeouts and no walks. Trek Skubell was
Speaker 3: the only other pitcher this season to do that, and
Speaker 3: he's the best pitcher in the game. A lot of
Speaker 3: fun stuff. There were a couple of calls in the
Speaker 3: Cubs Padres game that will probably be used in the
Speaker 3: off season when the commissioner is presenting the automated balls
Speaker 3: and strikes because there were a couple of bad calls
Speaker 3: that went against the Padres and the Padres went all in.
Speaker 3: They traded away, you know, prospects. They went all in
Speaker 3: and man Tatis pick up a white courtesy phone. That
Speaker 3: was embarrassing, uninspired. It was like he strunk out three times,
Speaker 3: bunchado mean, they went all in and you got nothing
Speaker 3: to show for it. The potential for fun was there, Cubs,
Speaker 3: you know that was they got a good team. They
Speaker 3: escaped and now you have the matchup with Craig Counsel,
Speaker 3: the Cubs manager, former Brewers manager.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: The Yankees with the Blue Jays. America is going to
Speaker 3: get introduced to the Blue Jays. They're gonna be like,
Speaker 3: oh okay, they got a nice team here, Red Sox.
Speaker 3: I didn't I thought they would make the playoffs this year.
Speaker 3: They really didn't have much. They didn't spend a lot.
Speaker 3: Bregman good, good pick up, but they didn't really I
Speaker 3: don't know, there was nothing really there offensively for them.
Speaker 3: They kind of scratched out something there. You know, the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: We expect the Dodgers to be great. That matchup, that's
Speaker 3: the matchup you want in the NLCS. But you got
Speaker 3: it here with the Ds between these two, and that'll
Speaker 3: be a whole lot of fun, a whole lot of fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, pony Dan, since you're talking baseball, I would like
Speaker 6: to thank you for your assistance last night. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: a little side toppy. You and I had a little
Speaker 6: text thing going on last night and you were escorting
Speaker 6: me through the Cubs game in the tense moments would
Speaker 6: be a fair way to say it. You, especially in
Speaker 6: the ninth you said, never easy for the Cubs. But
Speaker 6: what you didn't say in your text to me was
Speaker 6: you got them. You didn't say you got them, yeah,
Speaker 6: because you can't say you got.
Speaker 2: You're gonna win, You'll be fine. Yes, it was. It
Speaker 2: was nice to have a shoulder, but I didn't know
Speaker 2: if you would be fine the other day.
Speaker 3: That's why I was like, you know, Eddie Vedder, I
Speaker 3: think's nervous here. Chris Chellio's is nervous here. But I
Speaker 3: love that atmosphere. Wrigley is a wonderful atmosphere jumping. But
Speaker 3: the Cubs got some young talent there.
Speaker 2: It was fun. It was fun.
Speaker 3: You know that tension. That's what you want. It's go home, Winter,
Speaker 3: go home. And I love the three games. I mean,
Speaker 3: it may not seem fair. You play one hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty two games and it comes down to a three games, Seri,
Speaker 3: I understand it, But you know, do your damage during
Speaker 3: the regular season then you don't have to worry about
Speaker 3: a three games here, sees s Marvin.
Speaker 13: No, no, no, no, be grateful you got a three
Speaker 13: game series because if this was forty years ago, I
Speaker 13: now only four teams out of the entire Major League
Speaker 13: even made it to the playoffs, just the alcs and nlcs,
Speaker 13: So be grateful that you got in.
Speaker 2: Seaton. What are we going to go with hour one?
Speaker 9: We're going to go with would you rather be a
Speaker 9: Hall of Fame pitcher? A Hall of Fame quarterback?
Speaker 12: We also have the most infamous interview in show history.

Speaker 3: good at this, because I forget these things. Paulie'll say, well,
Speaker 3: there's that and that and that, and then I'll go, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: some of them I forget. Some of them might want
Speaker 3: to forget, but for the most part, there's been some
Speaker 3: that have stood out. The audience is really good at
Speaker 3: this as well. To remind us of certain moments in
Speaker 3: show history, and we'll run down the list of candidates
Speaker 3: of best Now, how are you phrasing that seat? And
Speaker 3: are you saying best interviews?
Speaker 9: H No, I think most infamous?
Speaker 2: Oh, info infamous throw the m into infamous. Okay, but
Speaker 2: it's not infamous, it's infamous.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I n famous, infamous infinite, Yeah, you got that.

Speaker 3: We're trying to come up with the whole question, and
Speaker 3: somebody suggested our most infamous interviews Charlie Sheen in an
Speaker 3: hour from now. What are some of these suggestions? The
Speaker 3: candidates there seton, well.
Speaker 12: We have the original Charlie Sheen interview obviously, Okay, Matt
Speaker 12: Harvey and the Qualcom interview is legendary. Now the problem becomes,
Speaker 12: do we dip back into the Mothership era of the
Speaker 12: show with things like Tanya Harding. Oh, Tanya Harding is
Speaker 12: a legendary interview, but it feels like a different version
Speaker 12: of the show. That's true, Like somebody else also just
Speaker 12: referred this one goes way back. But our friends in
Speaker 12: Nebraska just say the Mickey Rivers interviews will forever be
Speaker 12: just the best.
Speaker 16: He got.
Speaker 3: He was going through a toll booth and he's the
Speaker 3: former Yankee center fielder, and he gets pulled over because
Speaker 3: he's talking on his cell phone while going through a
Speaker 3: toll booth. And then he's trying to say that he's
Speaker 3: talking to mister Steinbrenner. And and so we're live on
Speaker 3: the radio and he's telling the police officer, Hey, I'm
Speaker 3: on the phone with George Steinbrenner. And he was on
Speaker 3: the phone with me live on the radio. And I
Speaker 3: could only pick out one out of every four words
Speaker 3: with Mickey because he talked so fast, and that one,
Speaker 3: that one was that was entertaining, That was entertaining.
Speaker 2: I even said to him, said, Mickey, what what are
Speaker 2: you doing?
Speaker 3: And he said that, you know, he got pulled over
Speaker 3: because he was on his cell phone. And I said,
Speaker 3: but you said you were talking to George Steinbrenner and
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, I'm trying to get out of a ticket. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 3: I don't know how you did that.
Speaker 5: He was impossible to understand. I don't even know how
Speaker 5: you picked up one and up every six or seven words.
Speaker 5: That was just beyond garbled.
Speaker 3: Yes, do you have a little bit of Mickey Rivers marmons?
Speaker 15: You see the team's gonna be a Latin, so you
Speaker 15: know you did. Whether he gets a social boom with
Speaker 15: most less, be this a star? Gaby guy.
Speaker 2: My favorite part is to laugh.
Speaker 3: It's a good job up Like he told something really
Speaker 3: funny and I didn't understand one word of it.
Speaker 2: But he did and he's like, it's the best.
Speaker 3: Give it to me one more tame. Here's Mickey Rivers,
Speaker 3: former Major League baseball player.
Speaker 15: You see the team is going to be a Latin,
Speaker 15: so you know you whether it gets a social big
Speaker 15: boom one move more.
Speaker 17: Or less to be this a star?
Speaker 15: Gaby guy.
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 3: I got a couple of words at the beginning, and
Speaker 3: I don't have any of the words after that. Uh,
Speaker 3: Whitey Herzog was not a good interview.
Speaker 9: I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Speaker 2: That was not good. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 6: Whitey Herzog was a former Cardinal manager during a tough
Speaker 6: time for the Cardinals, and they pitched a book to
Speaker 6: us that he had and they said, he's willing to
Speaker 6: talk about all the different things, including the cocaine issues
Speaker 6: that the Cardinals had in the early eighties. They suggested
Speaker 6: that as one of the topics you doing your job.
Speaker 6: I asked about it. He got very upset and they said,
Speaker 6: I don't want to talk to you and hung up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they gave me bullet points. Bullet points.
Speaker 3: They said, hey, here's some things that he wants to
Speaker 3: talk about. Great, and I'm thinking, wait, he wants to
Speaker 3: talk about cocaine with some of his former players. Okay, sure,
Speaker 3: we'll have him on. And the interview is not going well.
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, I go, hey, well,
Speaker 3: what about the cocaine use of your players? Like that's
Speaker 3: going to be the go to and now he's going
Speaker 3: to really expound upon this. And then that's when he
Speaker 3: didn't want to talk to me. And I thought, I said, Fritzie,
Speaker 3: get ahold of the book.
Speaker 2: People, it was in the.
Speaker 4: Press release, in the book notes that come like in
Speaker 4: the flap of the book fader, to make sure you
Speaker 4: cover those things.
Speaker 5: It's insane.
Speaker 3: How about when Commissioner Stern was scolding me, who the plaver?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The plaver?
Speaker 6: Yeah, PAULI that was the Phoenix Suns playoff series where
Speaker 6: guys went off the bench but they didn't get in
Speaker 6: a fight.
Speaker 2: Mary Stodemayer.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you were saying, Commissioner, don't you have the
Speaker 6: power to overrule the rule and let these guys play
Speaker 6: for the sake of competitiveness? And he goes, oh, I see,
Speaker 6: And then it went south.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because these guys all they they were beating up
Speaker 3: Steve Nash. The spurs were roughing him up and he
Speaker 3: got knocked into the scorer's table. Amari Stotdenmayer got up
Speaker 3: off the bench and then he got suspended. And I,
Speaker 3: I know it's a rule, but I thought, you know what,
Speaker 3: he wasn't engaging, He didn't throw any punches, but he
Speaker 3: got out of a certain area.
Speaker 2: Therefore he was going to be suspended.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you know he
Speaker 3: put me in my place.
Speaker 9: Let me write that down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dear, that's when I knew I was in trouble.
Speaker 6: Remember after the show, we all had to go upstairs.
Speaker 2: That's not what you got to do with ESPN.
Speaker 3: Well, that's when you were finding out if management was
Speaker 3: actually listening, because all of a sudden you had people
Speaker 3: out side of the radio booth at the mother Ship
Speaker 3: and they're all like looking in like what is going
Speaker 3: on in there? And I came out and they're like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, that was great radio. I go it was, yeah,
Speaker 3: but you got to go upstairs after the show. Management
Speaker 3: wants to talk to you, like, go, oh boy, yes.
Speaker 5: How about the very outspoken Kyler Murray during Super Bowl Week?
Speaker 5: That was a good time.
Speaker 3: That was certainly infamous. Yeah, that's one of those where
Speaker 3: I went.
Speaker 2: Is is this happening? This is happening right right? We
Speaker 2: should be able to put five on there.
Speaker 9: Seatan Yeah, yeah, right now for this era of the show.
Speaker 12: I think we have room for four actually, so kind
Speaker 12: of go with Charlie Sheen, Matt Harvey, and Kyler Murray.
Speaker 12: We'll see if there's other ones that added.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, a couple of phone calls in here.
Speaker 3: Aiden and Utah leads us off. Hi Aiden, good morning,
Speaker 3: welcome back.
Speaker 17: Good morning for me. Kyler Murray and Howard Stern's but
Speaker 17: chees are the two they always come to mind. You're
Speaker 17: talking about Anthemius. I don't know if that one.
Speaker 3: Counts, but because that was on Sports Center when you
Speaker 3: when you had you know one of Howard Stern's guys
Speaker 3: call in. That's when I thought I was interviewing Steve Bartman.
Speaker 3: But that that one doesn't count because that that stands
Speaker 3: alone with Sports Center.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I want this is incredibly off topic, but I've
Speaker 17: been trying to call him last couple of days. Talk
Speaker 17: to you about it. You're a thing with Russell Wilson
Speaker 17: and and if he reversed his career, he had even
Speaker 17: a better career or identical to Matthew Stafford's. And to me,
Speaker 17: that just doesn't work right because if you we'll discard
Speaker 17: the Giant, the Giants doesn't count. But he goes to Pittsburgh,
Speaker 17: you play six games, you go to the playoffs, you
Speaker 17: have a good supporting cast, you have a great defense,
Speaker 17: you have great receivers, and you don't get anything done.
Speaker 17: You go to Denver and you're pretty much boot it
Speaker 17: out of there before you can even start. And then
Speaker 17: by the time you get to Seattle and you finally
Speaker 17: have a good defense and a good you're you're carried
Speaker 17: through Super Bowl by that defense. And Stafford won in
Speaker 17: Detroit with a terrible supporting cast. He didn't have enough
Speaker 17: to get it done.
Speaker 2: He didn't win anything, but he was phenomenal.
Speaker 17: He was I mean, he was an elite quarterback in Detroit.
Speaker 17: I don't feel like Wilson has ever been superb anywhere
Speaker 17: else for side Seattle with the Sporting.
Speaker 2: Cast, did Russ ever have Calvin Johnson?
Speaker 17: Okay, listen, that's a no.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Stafford. If he doesn't win the Super Bowl, is
Speaker 3: he's not a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean he's He was.
Speaker 3: Great, He played hard, he played hurt, and he was
Speaker 3: the reason why you watched the Lions.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of hatred for Russell Wilson. I mean,
Speaker 2: if Russ got hurt three years ago and didn't play
Speaker 2: in Denver and didn't play in Pittsburgh and didn't play
Speaker 2: in New York, is he a Hall of Famer? And
Speaker 2: the answer is yes, he's not.
Speaker 9: Only is he a hall of Famer's god?
Speaker 2: What if?
Speaker 9: What a shame?
Speaker 15: Was?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, he was a whole lot better in Seattle than
Speaker 3: people are giving him credit for the Legion. The boom
Speaker 3: went away when Russ was twenty seven, so five through
Speaker 3: ten they didn't have a good defense, they still made
Speaker 3: the playoffs. One year he threw forty touchdown passes. He
Speaker 3: never had a marquee receiver, Like where you went? That
Speaker 3: guy's going to the Hall of Fame, Doug Baldwin.
Speaker 12: Yes, but more than anything, the thing that really hurt Russ, like,
Speaker 12: I mean, just as much as his play, if not
Speaker 12: even more so, is the whole let Russ cook era
Speaker 12: people being like, when are you going to get the
Speaker 12: training meals off of this guy?
Speaker 9: Let him cook, let him play, let him play, let.
Speaker 12: Him cook, And then they did and he was terrible,
Speaker 12: and that was about like, Oh, I guess you guys
Speaker 12: knew what you were doing. You knew exactly how to
Speaker 12: use him, and we shouldn't have been doing all this,
Speaker 12: that's the problem.
Speaker 3: But he did have a couple of seasons over thirty
Speaker 3: five touchdown passes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, point.
Speaker 6: His last five years in Seattle, he threw thirty four touchdowns,
Speaker 6: thirty five touchdowns thirty one, forty and twenty five. He
Speaker 6: never threw more than thirteen interceptions.
Speaker 12: Yes, Marvin, So was he already cooking though, or what
Speaker 12: was the hole let him cook thing?
Speaker 15: Then?
Speaker 12: If he was already throwing all these touchdown passes, how
Speaker 12: much more were we supposed to be letting him cook?
Speaker 2: Well? That was a bad phrase to use.
Speaker 9: That's what killed them.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, because we were waiting to see Magic, We
Speaker 3: were waiting to see Peyton.
Speaker 2: We are waiting to see Drew Brees.
Speaker 9: If he was already kirk On, why did people want
Speaker 9: him to cook?
Speaker 13: Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the Seatons point about the we iffactor.
Speaker 13: I think that's more important to get into Hall of
Speaker 13: Fame nowadays, because you've seen it with guys like Terrell
Speaker 13: Davis and Sterling Sharp. If you stop at a certain
Speaker 13: point because of injury or you retire early, it gives
Speaker 13: you a better chance to go into the Hall of
Speaker 13: Fame instead of having these uneventful years like russ Is having.
Speaker 2: Jake and Buffalo. Hi, Jake, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 18: Heyden? I always good talk about a sneaky great interview
Speaker 18: moment of the time when Peter King got pulled over
Speaker 18: and got a ticket for being on the phone with
Speaker 18: you during an interview. But we can talk about that
Speaker 18: another day, because today I'm just here to honor and
Speaker 18: talk about Qualkoff.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Jake.
Speaker 3: How is Qualcomm not a sponsor on this show? And
Speaker 3: then they should be a sponsor on this show?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Fully, Another one that should make the list, suggested about
Speaker 6: a couple listeners Scottie Pippen around the Last Dance about
Speaker 6: four years ago. I'm not going to paraphrase what mister
Speaker 6: Pippen had to say about Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan.
Speaker 6: You can go back and listen, but it was scorched
Speaker 6: earth and it was a big topic, especially in Chicago
Speaker 6: but elsewhere.
Speaker 3: That's where he was doing an interview, and he you know,
Speaker 3: if you talk about Lebron and Michael, then everybody picks
Speaker 3: up on it, which okay, you know, Scotty, you know,
Speaker 3: it would depend on each week or each month, and.
Speaker 2: He would shift.
Speaker 3: He'd be like, oh, Mjay was the greatest, and it'd
Speaker 3: be like Scotty says that Lebron's better than Mike. Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, clickbait. And then he said something about Phil
Speaker 3: Jackson and that he wanted, you know, a white guy
Speaker 3: Tony Kookoach to hit a game winning shot and put
Speaker 3: Scotty on the bench. And I said, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: hold on, here's that's that's the interview. That's I said,
Speaker 3: get Scotty on, and he doubled down on it, basically
Speaker 3: calling Phil Jackson a racist and I thought, do you
Speaker 3: realize what you're doing, what you're saying? And he said yes.
Speaker 3: I thought, wow, yes, Marv.
Speaker 13: It was a part in an interview where he got
Speaker 13: testy with you and asked you if you spoke English.
Speaker 13: I was like, dp's better than me. You were professional
Speaker 13: after he said that.
Speaker 3: And I didn't know why he was angry at me,
Speaker 3: because he's the one that created the scenario where I
Speaker 3: was going to be asking these questions.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauline Scotti reference about being racial that he wasn't
Speaker 6: playing and so forth, And you said, by saying it's
Speaker 6: a racial move, then you're calling Phil Jackson a racist.
Speaker 6: Scotty Pippen said, I don't know a problem with that.
Speaker 6: And you follow up saying do you think Phil was?
Speaker 2: And he said, oh yes.
Speaker 6: You gave multiple chances to backpedal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3: I was trying to have him understand the magnitude of
Speaker 3: what he was saying, and he didn't understand it, and
Speaker 3: I thought, Okay, I'm gonna try it again. And then
Speaker 3: I tried it again and he said the same thing,
Speaker 3: and I thought, I don't give a damn what he
Speaker 3: thinks of Lebron and Michael Jordan but I do care
Speaker 3: what he thinks about Phil Jackson. That to me was alarming.
Speaker 3: Tommy and Florida. I Tommy, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10: Hey, six foot one eighty seven jack I just want
Speaker 10: to say hi to Frenzy. That pass whole shirts fantastic
Speaker 10: and you're the best interview by far is the Kyler
Speaker 10: Murray one. I had to watch that like six times.
Speaker 10: I thought, no one's gonna draft this guy? And Dan,
Speaker 10: how you kept it together during that? I have no idea.
Speaker 10: That was the most bizarre interview I've ever seen in
Speaker 10: my entire life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I kept thinking, Okay, does he realize what
Speaker 3: he's doing to himself? Because I was told after that
Speaker 3: that there were teams that were like teams were passing
Speaker 3: the interview around because they asked for a copy of it,
Speaker 3: and they wanted to let you know, management, no gms know, Hey,
Speaker 3: if we're interested in this guy or trading up for
Speaker 3: this guy, let's reconsider this.
Speaker 2: And there were three teams that I was told did this.
Speaker 2: He just sat there and I was given a headshet.
Speaker 3: Seatan's Kyler Murray. And this is where we weren't sure
Speaker 3: was he going to play baseball? Was he going to
Speaker 3: play football. That was the topic. His dad was in
Speaker 3: the room. We're in Atlanta, super Bowl week. He's promoting Gatorade.
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, you know product placement. Bring your
Speaker 3: gatorade down and I'm going to throw some softball pitches
Speaker 3: to you. And all of a sudden, he didn't talk.
Speaker 2: I go like, wait, what's going on here?
Speaker 3: And I couldn't. I wasn't going to move on. I thought,
Speaker 3: you know what, You're not going to embarrass me. I
Speaker 3: don't work for Gatorade. They don't sponsor this show. I
Speaker 3: don't care if you look silly promoting gatorade. But you're
Speaker 3: here and I'm going to ask you questions. It is,
Speaker 3: you know, quid pro quo. You get a product, you
Speaker 3: get to say something about it. I get to ask
Speaker 3: you questions. That's how it works. And I was told
Speaker 3: prior to the draft that he wasn't going to play
Speaker 3: baseball because he was going to be the number one
Speaker 3: pick in the draft. But the mystery I didn't have
Speaker 3: the answer, and I told him that. Now his dad
Speaker 3: is one hundred feet away in this spacious room. I
Speaker 3: start interviewing his dad across the room because he kept
Speaker 3: looking at his dad to see what he could say
Speaker 3: or not say. So I finally started interviewing his dad
Speaker 3: one hundred feet away. It was one of those where
Speaker 3: I got I got done with it. I was I
Speaker 3: was angry, man, I was like, you got to be
Speaker 3: kidding me. And I think some people lost jobs. At
Speaker 3: least one person lost a job as a part of that,
Speaker 3: not on my staff. But no, I can't fire anybody.
Speaker 3: But that was one of those where I go, how
Speaker 3: does this that?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: I immediately turned to Fritzy because Fritzy does the great
Speaker 3: job of booking everybody, even with Matt Harvey, with Qualcomb,
Speaker 3: and I always go to Fritzy.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell happened?
Speaker 3: And Fritzi goes Nobody told me that Matt Harvey only
Speaker 3: wanted to talk about QUALCOMM. I was not told that,
Speaker 3: don't bring up baseball with Kyler Murray. Now, occasionally we'll
Speaker 3: get people who want to know the questions and I
Speaker 3: don't want to. I don't want to give you questions.
Speaker 3: I'll give you topics that I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 3: And you know, I've had people say we need each
Speaker 3: each question and Pauli's like that we won't have them on.
Speaker 3: That's not that's not how you interview. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to give you the answers and then I'm gonna,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Ask the question.
Speaker 3: I'll give you topics, but I'm not giving you questions, because.
Speaker 2: That's the element of the interview.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom the agent, publicist, you know, tempr preson, whoever
Speaker 4: you we're dealing with. For a particular guest, you've got
Speaker 4: at least be upfront and give us the opportunity to
Speaker 4: talk about it. I just want to let you guys
Speaker 4: know he's not going to talk about ABC and D
Speaker 4: and then at least we have the right to say,
Speaker 4: is it worth having this person on? If these are
Speaker 4: topics we can't get into. Usually it's not because those
Speaker 4: are the juicy things to get into. But don't just mixup,
Speaker 4: make believe everything's fine, and then on the air live
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you're not going to say anything.
Speaker 3: But we've had somebody. Now, Barry Bonds, he had this
Speaker 3: moment in spring training where he's going to change his reputation.
Speaker 3: And I said to Fritzie, I said, I see where
Speaker 3: Barry Bonds is, you know, wants to be a nice guy.
Speaker 3: And I go let's book him. Right before I start
Speaker 3: the inner Paulie is talking to the PR guy, and
Speaker 3: the PR guy goes, Barry just wants to talk about
Speaker 3: his home security system business. I go what, And so
Speaker 3: Pauli goes, well, he's got to talk baseball now. He
Speaker 3: just wants to talk about home security system. I said, now,
Speaker 3: we're not doing it. I'm not doing it. Get out
Speaker 3: of here. But there are times when you have people
Speaker 3: who suggest, Now this has happened a couple of times.
Speaker 3: PR people will go, hey, don't bring up and I'll go,
Speaker 3: wait what now, I'm not going to get out the name.
Speaker 3: But there was a PR person and it was like, hey,
Speaker 3: whatever you do he didn't want to talk about And I'll.
Speaker 2: Go, wait, what about that?
Speaker 12: We didn't even know that that was a thing. We
Speaker 12: had no idea that that was even a thing. What
Speaker 12: happened there?
Speaker 2: Now? I want to know, Yes, Paulie, he was a musician.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say, well, no.
Speaker 2: We can't. I don't want to go anywhere with this. No, No,
Speaker 2: I don't want to do bounce back. I didn't say
Speaker 2: what kind of us? I don't yes time, and so
Speaker 2: you don't.
Speaker 4: Get cured right before the interview say oh, by the way,
Speaker 4: don't ask about ABC, and they gotta let us no
Speaker 4: days in advance, and then we have an opportunity to say,
Speaker 4: you know what, then we're just not gonna do it.
Speaker 3: How about we take a break. We'll take a break.

Speaker 3: on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Five eleven of Mickey Rivers two?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 16: It's the Matt Harvey interview.
Speaker 19: That's the secretariat Dan, an uncomfortable interview that runs.
Speaker 17: Away with it.
Speaker 16: Y'all played that on the archive clips recently. I had
Speaker 16: to turn the show off and not look people in
Speaker 16: the eye for the rest of the day. It's so uncomfortable.
Speaker 16: I just asked chat GPT what it thought.
Speaker 19: Of that interview, and this just shows you how AI
Speaker 19: isn't perfect yet. It said that Harvey was on the
Speaker 19: show to promote a condition called overactive bladder in Man
Speaker 19: love the show, Dan, Thank.
Speaker 2: You, Thank you. Mason.
Speaker 3: When I asked him about his injury and he said,
Speaker 3: I'm here only to talk about qualcomm.
Speaker 2: If I could have killed Fritzy with a.
Speaker 3: Look, I would have been a mass murder because I went,
Speaker 3: how is this happening. This is a guy who was
Speaker 3: with the Mets, so you're in the media capital of
Speaker 3: the world. He had elbow or shoulder issues, and I thought, Okay,
Speaker 3: he's coming on, he's got a product. I got to
Speaker 3: ask him a couple of baseball questions and he said,
Speaker 3: all I talked about that yesterday, like he didn't talk
Speaker 3: to me, and that's when he wanted to talk about Qualcomm.
Speaker 2: Here's a little portion of Matt Harvey.
Speaker 17: I did all those answers yesterday, and you know, maybe
Speaker 17: at the appropriate time we can talk a little bit
Speaker 17: more about that.
Speaker 15: But obviously, you know, today's about Qualcomm.
Speaker 2: Obviously, what a great pitch man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the appropriate time, you're doing a national sports talk
Speaker 4: show interview right now.
Speaker 2: Only at the appropriate time.
Speaker 12: The injury was just announced the night before, yes announced,
Speaker 12: it was just made.
Speaker 3: But he had talked to the beat writers and then
Speaker 3: he felt like he had, you know, done his due diligence.
Speaker 2: Here I talk about that.
Speaker 3: You know, now I'm moving on and I'm obviously I'm
Speaker 3: here to talk about Qualcomb.
Speaker 2: Yea, Paul.
Speaker 6: The minute that show was over, the pr person who
Speaker 6: set it up, who Fritzy and I have known for
Speaker 6: a long time. Yeah, goes, Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6: How do we fix this? And we said, have them
Speaker 6: called back tomorrow And there was a lot of back
Speaker 6: and forth over the next twelve hours.
Speaker 2: It was wild.
Speaker 4: Yes, you stayed professional, but how much did you want
Speaker 4: to say, Matt, don't you think it'd be odd to
Speaker 4: have you on the show on a sports talk show
Speaker 4: and only talk about Qualcomb and do it infomercy with
Speaker 4: you and not talk it all about baseball like you're
Speaker 4: a major league pitcher that's done with this serious arm injuries.
Speaker 5: Don't you think that would be odd of us have
Speaker 5: you on to just do that.
Speaker 3: I had somebody earlier in the week who wanted to
Speaker 3: come on and only talk about one thing and had
Speaker 3: nothing to do with the sport that they're associated with,
Speaker 3: and I said, no, I'm not having a five minute infomercial.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm not going to do that to my audience.
Speaker 3: And I even went back to the person said you've
Speaker 3: got to talk about your sport. Yeah, but not this time.
Speaker 3: I go, there's not another time that's not happening. But
Speaker 3: it's live. You know, ninety nine point nine percent of
Speaker 3: the interviews we do are live. Because I want that
Speaker 3: feeling as an interviewer. I want that feeling and that
Speaker 3: sometimes you get that. Sometimes you get what you asked for.
Speaker 3: You wanted it live, you got qualcomm Mike and Madison.
Speaker 3: Hi Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15: Hey?
Speaker 8: Thanks Dan for a time long time six foot sausage
Speaker 8: of fueled two twenty five. I think you guys have
Speaker 8: done a great job. Aaron down about the best sound
Speaker 8: Bud interview interviews, but I got to go to one
Speaker 8: that really showcases your breath.
Speaker 16: Of interviewing, and it's when you interviewed Ray.
Speaker 8: Navis from the Secretary of the Navy. Like I go
Speaker 8: back to that one a lot, Uh and just watch
Speaker 8: it because it's just so great.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 8: He's he's so humble, You're is so great. You ask
Speaker 8: him some fun questions like we name.
Speaker 2: A boat after us?
Speaker 8: When you're done. Uh, it's just a great interview.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Mike. He was such a gentleman. He
Speaker 3: came in studio and you know he allowed us to
Speaker 3: have fun.
Speaker 18: Uh.
Speaker 2: Carlos and El Paso, Hi, Carlos.
Speaker 17: Hey DP six four.
Speaker 16: Hey DP.
Speaker 18: So the first interview that comes to mind when you
Speaker 18: guys talk about the most infamous interview is a Mike
Speaker 18: Tyson interview where he just wouldn't stop talking.
Speaker 16: His wheat for him.
Speaker 17: I've gone back to so many times over he is, thanks.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Carlos.
Speaker 3: He was at his kitchen table, eating cereal and talking
Speaker 3: about his pot farm or his pot growing business and
Speaker 3: giggling like you.
Speaker 2: It's one or the other. With Mike.
Speaker 3: It's either he doesn't say anything or he can't stop talking.
Speaker 2: Yes, Ton, And he can't seem.
Speaker 4: To understand why people would want to talk to him
Speaker 4: about his boxing career as opposed to his love of
Speaker 4: pigeons or whatever else he's doing on his farm.
Speaker 5: It seems insane to me.
Speaker 2: I interviewed him in nineteen eighty six. That was the
Speaker 2: first time. And do you think he's a tough interview now?
Speaker 3: Back then he wasn't worldly at all, and he would
Speaker 3: have talked about his pigeons gladly talked about his pigeons.
Speaker 2: Yes, he was on some show.
Speaker 5: I saw some. He told one reporter, I feel like,
Speaker 5: you know, punching you into face it. He's like saying
Speaker 5: this to the interview, like threatening him because he didn't
Speaker 5: like to lene question.
Speaker 3: Uh, you're never quite sure, because I've had Mike on
Speaker 3: recently and I didn't think it went well at all,
Speaker 3: But then the previous time, it's like he can't he
Speaker 3: can't stop talking.
Speaker 2: He's my best friend. Oh boy, good friends like that.
Speaker 5: Who are you enemies?
Speaker 18: Right there?
Speaker 3: CC Sabathia Hall of Famer will join us and the
Speaker 3: Charlie Sheen Interview fourteen years later, hour two on the
Speaker 3: Meet Friday right after this
