Speaker 3: Show spent a lot of time talking college football, the
Speaker 3: future of the college football playoff format, what's gonna happen
Speaker 3: in Michigan, what's already happened at Michigan. We got another
Speaker 3: hour here. Rob Gronkowski will add a little levity joining
Speaker 3: us from I think Vail, Colorado. Thank he's out there skiing.
Speaker 3: Imagine Gronk on the slopes. Look out kids. Sunday night,
Speaker 3: the stakes could not be higher as Dak Prescott and
Speaker 3: the Cowboys host Justin Jefferson and the Vikings Sunday seven
Speaker 3: eastern on NBC in Peacock. So JJ McCarthy doesn't make
Speaker 3: the promo, it's Justin Jefferson against Dak Prescott. That'll be
Speaker 3: at seven eastern on NBC and Peacock. Good morning if
Speaker 3: you're watching on Peacock, download the app if you haven't
Speaker 3: done so. We say good morning to our radio affiliates
Speaker 3: over four hundred cities across America that carry this program.
Speaker 3: We will come up with a new pole question for
Speaker 3: the final hour of the program eight seven to seven
Speaker 3: three DP show operators sitting by to take your phone calls. Seaton,
Speaker 3: would you recap the pole questions from the first two
Speaker 3: hours of this program?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got up there right now. You'd love to
Speaker 4: see Philip Rivers play great or poorly? I want to
Speaker 4: know who the thirteen percent of the audience are that
Speaker 4: said poorly. Why are you rooting for him to play poorly?
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for him to play. You know. If he
Speaker 2: plays well, great.
Speaker 3: If he doesn't play well, I'm not going to be surprised,
Speaker 3: but I'm not going man.
Speaker 2: I hope he throws another pick. I hope he gets sacked.
Speaker 2: That'll teach that Grandpa.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If anything, I'm trying to put money on him first drive.
Speaker 2: All watchdown pack Joe.
Speaker 4: Now, that's that's my big bet of the year.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I have the Gambling podcast with Shan Irving, Dylan and
Speaker 3: Bad Larry coming up after the show, and I will
Speaker 3: pose that question. Can we get odds on if Philip
Speaker 3: River starts his first drive against Seattle's defense will lead
Speaker 3: to a touchdown? What would the odds be? What would
Speaker 3: the payout be for you and he would have to
Speaker 3: throw a touchdown? I'll throw them right, What if he
Speaker 3: just leads them to a touchdown. Okay, well I have
Speaker 3: him throw a touchdown pass.
Speaker 4: I feel like if he threw it, he'd get credit for.
Speaker 3: It, So okay, all right, so I'll see what the
Speaker 3: odds are. Philip Rivers hater Fritzie.
Speaker 6: Yes, once they would get eliminated from the playoff picture,
Speaker 6: especially with what happened in Week two, even though Philip
Speaker 6: Rivers had nothing to do with it, but his team
Speaker 6: did with the whole leverage thing. Then I would actually
Speaker 6: root for Philip Rivers to do well in meaningless games,
Speaker 6: but while the Cults are still in the mix fighting
Speaker 6: for playoffs.
Speaker 2: It the question is about this weekend.
Speaker 6: This week I would like for him, you know what,
Speaker 6: to personally do well, not embarrass himself, but for the
Speaker 6: Cults ultimately lose, and then I would be totally fine
Speaker 6: with that.
Speaker 2: Okay. Here's a Philip Rivers on why he came back.
Speaker 7: As simple as as can be, as a coach that
Speaker 7: I love and an organization I really enjoyed being with,
Speaker 7: you know, mister ersay believing in me in that year
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty when it didn't go so good in
Speaker 7: twenty nineteen, and they wanted me.
Speaker 3: Okay, he's been in contact with the head coach and
Speaker 3: Riley Leonard, the backup quarterback as well. He knows the
Speaker 3: offense get a chance to come in. I would prefer
Speaker 3: if he was playing at home instead of in Seattle
Speaker 3: against that Seattle defense. But you know, he's got to
Speaker 3: be one of the youngest grandpas in America though, right,
Speaker 3: he's America. He's forty four. How many grandpas are forty four?
Speaker 3: And he's got ten kids? Right, yes, something like that,
Speaker 3: something like that. Yeah, I have ten, yeah, ten for now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's early in the day. Yeah, who knows. You know,
Speaker 3: he's got to have a head count every morning. All right,
Speaker 3: let's sound You know there's that scene in a Sound
Speaker 3: of Music where they are all in the morning. I
Speaker 3: think they all come down and everybody, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: there's a head count there.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the sound of music? Remember that?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like singing with their breakfast Von Trapp family.
Speaker 3: The hills are alive with the sound of music.
Speaker 9: Oh dear female y.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My first crush ever, first crush understandable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I didn't understand what my crush was, but
Speaker 3: I just knew. I think I was seven or eight,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I love her, and then I
Speaker 3: saw her and Mary Poppins and I go, I really
Speaker 3: love her, yes, Paul, Julie Andrews, Yes, yeah, yeah, Julie Andrews. Yeah,
Speaker 3: still beautiful, still beautiful, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 10: I always want to know. With Phil Rivers and his wife,
Speaker 10: after nine kids are sitting around at the table going,
Speaker 10: you know what, it's getting quiet, and it's just.
Speaker 3: Not you know, we're getting close to being empty nesters.
Speaker 3: Here thirteen more years and there I could see having
Speaker 3: another one. But having been around my son's children, so
Speaker 3: my grandchildren, I don't know how my wife had the energy,
Speaker 3: even she says, I don't know how I had the energy.
Speaker 3: Now she had four kids under seven years of age.
Speaker 3: They have two under two and a half. But you're
Speaker 3: just around them and you just forget how much it's
Speaker 3: all consuming. Even when you go, man, I hope he
Speaker 3: takes a nap because I could use a nap. It
Speaker 3: never went well whenever I was watching my kids. By
Speaker 3: the way, you don't babysit your own kids. I'm with
Speaker 3: my kids and I'd be like, man, I hope the
Speaker 3: youngest takes a nap because I could really she's not
Speaker 3: going to take a nap. Be like, Ah, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be a long day. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 11: Yeah, when he gets to that taller station and he
Speaker 11: keep calling you, oh, just call me Marvin for the
Speaker 11: loan of God. If I hear daddy one more time,
Speaker 11: just call me Marv h.
Speaker 3: And then you got to protect you gotta you know,
Speaker 3: the edges of the table proof. Oh, just everything you're like,
Speaker 3: I didn't think of that. We got to get a
Speaker 3: gate for the top of the steps. We got to
Speaker 3: get a gate for the bottom of the steps. All
Speaker 3: of these things where you're going, don't know how you know,
Speaker 3: you look back and well, that's why you have when
Speaker 3: you're young. But yeah, I gotta believe Philip Rivers. What
Speaker 3: is the average age of being a grandfather in the
Speaker 3: United States? Yes, Hunt, and the things you were referring to,
Speaker 3: that's just in the house stuff.
Speaker 5: What happens those meltdowns.
Speaker 6: At the mall or at the restaurant and all the
Speaker 6: things where they're you got to drag them and they're
Speaker 6: just totally making a total scene. At least you could
Speaker 6: hide it when they're doing something in the apartment of
Speaker 6: the house.
Speaker 10: So you have the information polling I do based off
Speaker 10: this research site. The average age in America currently of
Speaker 10: becoming a grandparent, not of grandparents' age, but the day
Speaker 10: you become a grandparent for men, right battle game. This
Speaker 10: is the average age, yes, currently for men sixty three
Speaker 10: fifty three, oh, becoming a grandparent.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so he's he's ten years head of schedule.
Speaker 3: He's fast starter, ten years ahead of schedule. Let's see
Speaker 3: David in Ohio. Hi, David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 2: Hey, what's up?
Speaker 12: Dan?
Speaker 9: I think they should rename the Bowl.
Speaker 13: Michigan's Flying end of the Royal Family Ball because of
Speaker 13: all the scandals.
Speaker 2: So thank you, thank you, David.
Speaker 3: We don't know anything more than what's been reported from
Speaker 3: last night and even this morning, so there's nothing new.
Speaker 3: But if there is, in the next you know, fifty minutes,
Speaker 3: we'll let you know. With Michigan, whether it's Sharon Moore
Speaker 3: or their coaching search as well, or if any of
Speaker 3: their players getting in the transferred portal. Jeff in San Diego, Hi, Jeff,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
Speaker 12: Hey? Good morning?
Speaker 9: Dan and Danet's six foot one fifty eight. Hey, Dan,
Speaker 9: I'm a longtime listener. You reference this a lot. It
Speaker 9: adds a lot of flavor and interesting information to the show.
Speaker 9: But I've always been curious about what's the incentives of
Speaker 9: the sources to share this information with you. You mentioned
Speaker 9: this weekend was really busy. They were reaching out a
Speaker 9: lot of information. I was always curious about what the
Speaker 9: incentive for them is to share that information with you.
Speaker 3: Well, they're fans of the show, they're friends of the show,
Speaker 3: and they want to make sure that I have the information,
Speaker 3: the correct information. And I've been very fortunate in forty
Speaker 3: years to have accumulated a couple of sources in just
Speaker 3: about every sport, somebody that I can go to and
Speaker 3: just say set me straight. And a lot of these
Speaker 3: people aren't, you know, media savvy that they want to be,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, there's no ego where they go, hey,
Speaker 3: I come on your show. That's not who they are.
Speaker 3: They're just in their world. They want to make sure
Speaker 3: that I know what I'm talking about, because there have
Speaker 3: been times when they'll text me and say, hey, that's
Speaker 3: not right, and you know, I've made mistakes with that,
Speaker 3: but I just want to make sure that I always
Speaker 3: give you the right information, the correct information, the information
Speaker 3: that I trust instead of taking it from somebody else.
Speaker 3: Now there's a lot of great reporters, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of great information, but I can't take everybody's word on something.
Speaker 3: And sometimes I'll say, hey, can you give me set
Speaker 3: me straight on this. I want to make sure is
Speaker 3: this right? And then somebody might say yes, it is,
Speaker 3: and then I give that person credit, because I think
Speaker 3: something that we don't do in this business is give
Speaker 3: the person who does have the information credit. We tend
Speaker 3: to blame, but we don't credit, and we tend to
Speaker 3: take what somebody says and then we run, you know,
Speaker 3: with it. Like Ross Dellinger has done a wonderful job.
Speaker 3: You know, he's always got really good information. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's some really good college football reporters. But I try
Speaker 3: to find somebody in each sport that I can always
Speaker 3: go to, and sometimes it's somebody who's on the air
Speaker 3: with us.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, Tony Dungey.
Speaker 3: I'll reach out to Tony and he may not come
Speaker 3: on the show, but I can say, hey, help me
Speaker 3: understand this, and then he can give me that information,
Speaker 3: you know, Steve Sands from Golf Channel or rich Lerner,
Speaker 3: like you just want to have somebody that you can
Speaker 3: go to and say, can I get some information here?
Speaker 3: And it's not having them on as a guest, but
Speaker 3: everything has to be let's get it right. And if
Speaker 3: I can get it right, and I have people who
Speaker 3: watch the show, listen to the show, been friends of
Speaker 3: the show. That's a great resource that I have that
Speaker 3: very few others in this business do have. But thank
Speaker 3: you for the phone call here, Zach and Knoxville. Good
Speaker 3: to have you back, Zach. What's on your mind?
Speaker 14: ADP, thanks for checking I call. I just wanted to
Speaker 14: get your opinion on if you think John Gruden would
Speaker 14: be won a good fit or to a legitimate candidate
Speaker 14: for the Michigan Droub.
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
Speaker 3: I don't know that, and I know that he works
Speaker 3: for Barstool and Dave Portnoy, who runs Barstool, as friends
Speaker 3: with John big Michigan booster, and I'm sure that he
Speaker 3: would be pushing for John if that's something that John wanted.
Speaker 2: But it feels like John wants to get back to
Speaker 2: the NFL.
Speaker 3: I think he would love to go back to the
Speaker 3: NFL just to say the NFL did me wrong. I
Speaker 3: want to go back and I'm going to be coaching.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be coaching a team. I don't know
Speaker 3: if somebody gives him that opportunity, But he's got a
Speaker 3: pretty good gig at Barstool. I'm guessing you don't have
Speaker 3: to work too many days and you still get to
Speaker 3: have a high profile there. I don't know what happens
Speaker 3: with I think after the lawsuit is settled with the NFL,
Speaker 3: and if he wins that lawsuit, then maybe you're going
Speaker 3: to get somebody who's going to give him an opportunity.
Speaker 3: I mean, you still have some damaging language in those
Speaker 3: emails that surfaced, you know, whether that should have been
Speaker 3: brought to light, you know, and then you have the
Speaker 3: lawsuit against the NFL. But maybe John I mean, he
Speaker 3: was a Notre Dame ball boy growing up. But I
Speaker 3: don't know what his ties to Michigan. We keep going, hey,
Speaker 3: you gotta have a tie to Michigan, Brady Hokat a
Speaker 3: tie to Michigan.
Speaker 2: Not good? Yeah, bully, Yeah.
Speaker 10: John Gruden only coached college football right out of college.
Speaker 10: He was a graduate assistant. He has very little college
Speaker 10: football coaching experience. Also, I don't know if Michigan wants
Speaker 10: to bring in another person who has baggage on the
Speaker 10: way in. This is one of those hires where it's like,
Speaker 10: let's go squeaky clean. And also John Gruden the last
Speaker 10: time he coached was twenty one. Yeah, he would have
Speaker 10: to go from his barstool schedule, which is light to
Speaker 10: the day. He starts at Michigan as a twenty dour
Speaker 10: day job for the next six months.
Speaker 3: According to the prosecutor's office telling ESPN, no decision on
Speaker 3: charging Sharon Morris expected today.
Speaker 2: The Michigan coach remains in custody.
Speaker 3: Do we have a poll question for the final hour
Speaker 3: there aside from are you rooting for Philip Rivers Seaton?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Right now we just have the Philip Rivers up there,
Speaker 4: but we can add another.
Speaker 3: Let me see Austin in Louisiana. Hi, Austin, what's on
Speaker 3: your mind today?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 15: What wd?
Speaker 2: Hey man?
Speaker 15: Thanks calling me, Thanks calling me back.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Hey, that was a great appearance by Wetsoel there he's
Speaker 15: always he's always really good. Quick quick comment. The question
Speaker 15: for you, you know, the big winner in all this, Dan,
Speaker 15: is college football. I feel like we've been talking college
Speaker 15: football on the A block in every show, not just yours,
Speaker 15: for months now back to the James Franklin firing, which
Speaker 15: feels like a year ago, to meaningless weekly ranking shows,
Speaker 15: to firings. Now there's a huge scandal and a top
Speaker 15: three job college football. Man, it's the uh, the drama
Speaker 15: that never ends. My question to you, Dan is you've
Speaker 15: been really consistent on saying that Alabama should have dropped
Speaker 15: for their game against Georgia. And my question is where
Speaker 15: should they have dropped in because eleven and twelve we
Speaker 15: locked this season with the chief Apps spots and they
Speaker 15: could have only dropped to ten. So are you saying
Speaker 15: that Alabama and Miami should have switched or that Bama
Speaker 15: should have been out for Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that the fact they played in the
Speaker 3: SEC title game, I can give credit to Alabama.
Speaker 2: They didn't play well. I don't think this was a
Speaker 2: great This is a great Alabama team.
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm giving you the history of the
Speaker 3: conference championship game. So twenty two conference champions who were
Speaker 3: in the game and lost. Okay, the loser of the
Speaker 3: conference championship game the last twenty two. Twenty of the
Speaker 3: twenty two dropped in the rankings. So TCU a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago in Alabama, so history says they should
Speaker 3: have dropped.
Speaker 2: I didn't think they were a great team. Yes, they
Speaker 2: got to.
Speaker 3: The SEC title game, but then you could also make
Speaker 3: the case, hey, Miami didn't even play in the.
Speaker 2: SEC title game. You know, as much as.
Speaker 3: We want to talk about Miami and their resume in
Speaker 3: that conference, that's not any good. And you can't even
Speaker 3: get to the conference title game. So look, we've exhausted
Speaker 3: this with Notre Dame. I think if you have Miami
Speaker 3: in front of them, they should have been in front
Speaker 3: of them for the last month because nothing changed and
Speaker 3: then when it changes up.
Speaker 2: That's the problem that I have with this. I didn't think.
Speaker 3: Alabama had a good showing in the SEC title game.
Speaker 3: Yes they got there, but but they end up three losses,
Speaker 3: and I don't they don't pass the eye test. I
Speaker 3: think they showed glimpses, but you know, go back to
Speaker 3: the loss of Florida State. I don't know how good
Speaker 3: they are.
Speaker 11: Yes, Marvin, how many teams in this tournament do you
Speaker 11: think have a real shot to win the national title?
Speaker 2: I'd say four.
Speaker 5: Maybe.
Speaker 2: You know, here's another thing.
Speaker 3: If we played on a neutral site and this according
Speaker 3: to Vegas, how many teams would Notre Dame be favored over.
Speaker 3: They'd be favored over Alabama, They'd be favored over Miami,
Speaker 3: They'd be favored over Texas Tech. I mean pretty much
Speaker 3: everybody except for Ohio State. I don't think they would
Speaker 3: be favored over Oregon. I don't think I don't think
Speaker 3: they'd be favored over Indiana, Texas, A, and m in
Speaker 3: a rematch on a neutral site, that would be close.
Speaker 3: So if I'm just going by Vegas, then Notre Dame
Speaker 3: is one of the top five teams in the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paulin.
Speaker 10: Even though Alabama did not have a great showing in
Speaker 10: the SEC title game, Vegas still likes them in the
Speaker 10: playoffs number nine Alabama at Oklahoma at Oklahoma. Alabama right
Speaker 10: now is a one and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2: And they've already faced each other.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so they still like Alabama.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, but ask Vegas how many teams would Notre
Speaker 3: Dame be favored over. I could check that, yeah, and
Speaker 3: that'll give you an idea of, you know, just how
Speaker 3: good this team is. They don't care about anybody, you know,
Speaker 3: there's nothing personal with this. They're trying to set the
Speaker 3: betting line. Of making money, and they would have Notre
Speaker 3: Dame favored over most of those schools, most of them.
Speaker 3: All Right, Well, take a break, Rob Gronkowski will stop.
Speaker 3: Buy more of your phone calls as well. We're back
Speaker 3: after this.

Speaker 2: So thank you, Ann, you know, thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Julie Andrews was my first crush went down hard.
Speaker 2: I think I was seven or eight years of age.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if if I would you know
Speaker 3: what I say that Julie Andrews. Oh Man, I had
Speaker 3: a crush on you. I did say that to Sally Field.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh man, I had a crush on you,
Speaker 3: and she goes, oh okay, like stand in line, yes, yes, marmon.
Speaker 11: Look have I ever seen Jody Wattley. I'm gonna say
Speaker 11: you were my first crush when I was a.
Speaker 2: Kide Kay Todd first crush.
Speaker 6: Heather Thomas slash Heather Locklear, the two Heathers.
Speaker 5: I just thought that was just they were the.
Speaker 3: Greatest, right, Seaton, did you have a crush at an
Speaker 3: early age?
Speaker 17: Uh?
Speaker 4: You know it's probably Catherine Bach Dukes of Hazard.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If I have to go back to like the first
Speaker 4: time I noticed, like, wow, that's different. It might be
Speaker 4: might be Katherine Bach, Okay, Paul.
Speaker 10: Those are all great picks. I think mine was Olympic
Speaker 10: figure skater Dorothy Hamill. I remember watching her and going
Speaker 10: that girl's pretty.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I go back to Peggy Fleming. She was a figure
Speaker 3: skater and I was like, Okay, I don't know what's
Speaker 3: going on, but all of a sudden, I want to
Speaker 3: watch figure skating.
Speaker 10: The word yucky isn't used in nod.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I still probably they the girls use that
Speaker 3: towards me of being yucky. That I didn't look at
Speaker 3: the girls and go, man, they're yucky. Brandon in Utah,
Speaker 3: Hi Brandon, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15: Hey Dan?
Speaker 8: This is Brandon the first time, Long Time five four
Speaker 8: with a thirst quenching one sixty two. And you know,
Speaker 8: we watch you every morning with my daughter Lulu and
Speaker 8: the car on the way to school.
Speaker 2: We love you so much.
Speaker 8: And my only concern though, is lately Fritzi seemed to
Speaker 8: be a little quiet and we were concerned that maybe
Speaker 8: something's wrong with him. We just want to check in
Speaker 8: on him. You know, he can carry the show sometimes
Speaker 8: when he needs to, and we're just worried about him.
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought, is anything up that we should be
Speaker 2: aware of?
Speaker 6: I don't think so. That's my next being bothered me
Speaker 6: to the last a few days. But that wouldn't keep
Speaker 6: me from speaking into a microphone. I picked my spots.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: Sometimes I'm a little too much. Sometimes I'm like, I
Speaker 6: didn't know you were here today. It's hard to find
Speaker 6: that perfect appearance.
Speaker 2: I think you're doing great. I'm doing I just want
Speaker 2: to make sure you're doing ok okay.
Speaker 6: But everything else is okay, everything's in order.
Speaker 3: Lifestyle was okay? Todd in North Carolina. I Todd, what's
Speaker 3: on your mind?
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, we all know that content is king, and
Speaker 18: we all know all the fallout that happened after your
Speaker 18: interview with a quarterback I'm blanket on his name from
Speaker 18: displayed with Seattle. But all the fallout that's come about
Speaker 18: now with your interview with the Notre Dame Athletic director,
Speaker 18: I mean, I think you should be getting residuals from
Speaker 18: all the sports companies from all the content you created.
Speaker 18: And if y'all will get an Emmy this year, then
Speaker 18: it's definitely more fixed than the college football Selection committee.
Speaker 18: And also what happened to the gong? Oh?
Speaker 3: The gong is here, but there's no reason I use
Speaker 3: it sparingly. It's always there. But you know, I have
Speaker 3: the ConA silence for Todd and I have the gong
Speaker 3: as well, but you know he's been on his best behavior.
Speaker 3: There's no reason to gong him or have the ConA
Speaker 3: silence there. Rob Grounkowski, how there he is? And he's
Speaker 3: got a bowl game coming up. That'll be Saturday, December thirteenth.
Speaker 3: That's so far. He hosts the LA Bowl and sponsored
Speaker 3: by Bucked Up, leading sports nutrition lifestyle brand. The title
Speaker 3: sponsor for the LA Bowl Boise State against Washington. Rob
Speaker 3: Grunkowski joining us on the program.
Speaker 2: Where are you?

Speaker 5: Yeah. This is my French bull dog right here.
Speaker 17: So I've been on a media tour right now you're

Speaker 17: the ground for the last hour and now he's.
Speaker 5: Like, get me up on your lap.
Speaker 2: What's his name?
Speaker 5: His name's Ralphie.
Speaker 2: Ralphie.
Speaker 5: Yes, good boy.
Speaker 2: If you could have named your dog after a teammate.
Speaker 5: Oh, I would say, uh.
Speaker 17: Chan Chandler Jones, Chan straight up, Chan, that's pretty good.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 3: Do you get people who want you to hit them?
Speaker 3: Like Rando? People come up to you.
Speaker 17: Actually all the time. That's a great question. A lot
Speaker 17: of people sometimes come up to me and like put
Speaker 17: their hand down on the ground, and I'm like, what's
Speaker 17: going on right now? I'm like, hey, buddy, you don't
Speaker 17: want that to happen. Trust me, Like I used to
Speaker 17: go verse two hundred and eighty pounds defensive ends on
Speaker 17: a daily basis, Like I got that ground force. I
Speaker 17: know how to move force from one side to the
Speaker 17: other side. Sometimes also people are like, yo, let's arm rustle.
Speaker 17: I just don't get into the end, shay. I mean
Speaker 17: I fake it, like oh right, I'll take a picture
Speaker 17: of us fake arm wrestling. But I just don't know
Speaker 17: what I'm dealing with at that moment, So I never
Speaker 17: actually take the offer when someone tells me to hit
Speaker 17: home or tackle hom or anything like that.
Speaker 3: What hurts on you now from your playing career, you know,
Speaker 3: that's a great question.
Speaker 17: If I don't take care of myself, if I go out,
Speaker 17: you know, I don't get much sleep. You know, my
Speaker 17: knee aches a little bit, my back will go out
Speaker 17: on me and my ankle starts, you know, flying up.
Speaker 17: You know, I've got a lot of injuries. But if
Speaker 17: I truly take care of myself, you know, I do
Speaker 17: all the right things. I get massages, I do all
Speaker 17: the pre have workouts. You know, I can even work
Speaker 17: out hard if I get the proper sleep. Literally usually
Speaker 17: nothing hurts then, And that's great. That's what I'm That's
Speaker 17: what I dedicate myself is taking care of myself because
Speaker 17: of that reason, because if I don't, then things start
Speaker 17: going out on me because of the career that I had.
Speaker 17: But I really like to take care of myself and
Speaker 17: do the prehab stuff and do the workouts that.
Speaker 5: You know, keep my body going and keep my body strong.
Speaker 2: Philip River is what eight years older than you? What
Speaker 2: are you thirty six?
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm thirty six and he's forty four.
Speaker 3: Yes, to be away for five years at that position,
Speaker 3: what's the first thing that maybe comes back to him
Speaker 3: or is never coming back?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 17: I mean, if I was a betting man and I
Speaker 17: had to truly put a bet on it, I would
Speaker 17: go against Philip Rivers. And it's not because I don't
Speaker 17: like Philip Rivers. A guy was an unbelievable quarterback. He's
Speaker 17: probably a Hall of Fame quarterback, you know, in the future.
Speaker 17: I mean, what he did as for his career was remarkable.
Speaker 17: It would be any quarterback's dream to have what he
Speaker 17: he had and how many you know, touchdowns and pass
Speaker 17: he's thrown for.
Speaker 5: But if I'm a betting man, like I said, I
Speaker 5: would go against him.
Speaker 17: I would say that it's not going to happen what,
Speaker 17: you know, in the way that they think it could
Speaker 17: possibly happen, you know, with the Colts and.
Speaker 5: Whatever he's thinking.
Speaker 17: I mean, he's forty four years old, he's been out
Speaker 17: of the game for four or five years. If anyone
Speaker 17: could possibly do if any position can do this, it's
Speaker 17: definitely the quarterback position only that could you know, possibly
Speaker 17: pull this off.
Speaker 5: But I just don't see that arm strength being.
Speaker 17: Up to par where it needs to be, and I
Speaker 17: don't see the consistency of that arm being where it
Speaker 17: needs to be as well. Can he take a hit
Speaker 17: if he goes in the game, I don't know. I
Speaker 17: don't think so. I mean, it's kind of absurd, But
Speaker 17: if I got to bet against it, if I got
Speaker 17: a bet for it, I would go against it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just seems crazy that they're in that position
Speaker 3: where you're gonna bring back a forty four year old.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a high school coach, he's a grandfather.
Speaker 3: Aren't there any other quarterbacks in America, Gronk that you
Speaker 3: could bring in to help out this team?
Speaker 5: That's what I was wondering.
Speaker 17: I mean, try to grab No, you can't grab anyone
Speaker 17: off a practice squad. The trade deadline's over, But there
Speaker 17: has to be someone else else out there on the
Speaker 17: streets like that played last year. What about digging into
Speaker 17: the XFL or whatever the XFL slash United Football League
Speaker 17: that combined, you know, the last year.
Speaker 5: That's a pretty solid league.
Speaker 17: I mean, there has to be a quarterback from there,
Speaker 17: even grabbing a quarterback from the Canadian Football League, like,
Speaker 17: there has to be someone that's played out there that
Speaker 17: can go in and handle an offense at least to
Speaker 17: power the you know, to go out there and produce
Speaker 17: just how they need them to produce. But like in
Speaker 17: this situation, I mean, it's it's wild to me that
Speaker 17: this is going on and I'm hoping for the best,
Speaker 17: But why I'm saying it's going to be so hard
Speaker 17: for Philip Rivers is because of the last you know,
Speaker 17: four years, five years. You got to be up to
Speaker 17: speed with this game, you know, you got to be
Speaker 17: up to speed with defenses, how fast they are, how
Speaker 17: strong these guys are, and you got to be up
Speaker 17: to speed with your arm as well.
Speaker 5: So what was he doing over the last four or
Speaker 5: five years?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 17: And also he has fourteen kids approximately, he's a husband.
Speaker 17: How does he even have time to throw sixty passes
Speaker 17: a day? Because once you do retire, you usually check
Speaker 17: out and just take care of your family. So it
Speaker 17: all depends on what he was doing Dan over the
Speaker 17: last four years.
Speaker 3: For the record, I don't think he has fourteen kids,
Speaker 3: but he does have I think.
Speaker 5: No, he does have a lot. It's not fourteen, but
Speaker 5: it's up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if he's double digits, but but
Speaker 2: I think he is is.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, there's some players out there
Speaker 5: that are.
Speaker 3: But well, apparently we know what he's been doing in
Speaker 3: the last five years, then he's got double digit kids there.
Speaker 5: Gronk, Yes, we sure do. At least we know he's
Speaker 5: in shape.
Speaker 3: We're talking Rob Gronkowski, the four time Super Bowl champ
Speaker 3: and It's Bucked Up, leading sports nutrition and lifestyle brand
Speaker 3: and the title sponsor for the LA Bowl presented hosted
Speaker 3: by Gronk. That'll be Saturday, December thirteenth. What is your
Speaker 3: role there as the master of ceremony.
Speaker 17: Yes, the master of ceremony kind of because I do
Speaker 17: go to the fan festival, you know, two hours prior
Speaker 17: to the game, get out the fans hyped up, do
Speaker 17: a couple activities, do a couple of games.
Speaker 5: But this is my third year hosting the game.
Speaker 17: The first year, I sung the national anthem, I raised
Speaker 17: the Boise State Bronco's dog at halftime, and I'm only
Speaker 17: one of the few to ever beat the dog. As well,
Speaker 17: I was just happy he went off course and I
Speaker 17: just talked to I talked to the teams as well,
Speaker 17: the two teams, congratulate them, welcome them to the you know,
Speaker 17: Bucked Up LA Ball. It's gonna be at Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 17: And what makes this game special this year? The first
Speaker 17: year was great Boise State versus UCLA. Ucla won the game.
Speaker 17: You know, Ashton genty was part of the game top
Speaker 17: five pick last year for the Las Vegas Raiders. This
Speaker 17: year is gonna be special because it's only gonna be
Speaker 17: the only football game going on in the world when
Speaker 17: it's on TV Saturday night, and it's directly after the
Speaker 17: Heisman Trophy presentation as well, so it's gonna be hot.
Speaker 17: And we got two legit teams here. We got the
Speaker 17: Boise State Broncos. They just won the Mountain West Conference
Speaker 17: this year and that's a that's a pretty solid conference.
Speaker 17: So they got the automatic bid to our bowl game.
Speaker 17: And then we got the Washington Huskies. Now we got
Speaker 17: Jetfish as the head coach. He betrayed me at the
Speaker 17: University of Arizona, Dan Patrick, I'll let you know that
Speaker 17: I'm gonna have to have a word with him. He
Speaker 17: was there, he turned the program around, and then he
Speaker 17: left us. He went to the Washington Husky. I mean,
Speaker 17: Washington Oskies ain't that much better than the University of Arizona.
Speaker 17: And he turned us around and he did have a
Speaker 17: pretty solid year this year.
Speaker 5: He was eight and four. They do have a good team,
Speaker 5: They have a good.
Speaker 17: Running back and the three of their losses actually came
Speaker 17: from Ohio State, Oregon, and Michigan, and they competed in
Speaker 17: all three of those games. So this is going to
Speaker 17: be a very solid football game, the Huskies versus Broncos.
Speaker 17: I'm looking forward to it Saturday night at Sofi Stadium,
Speaker 17: December thirteenth.
Speaker 5: It's going to be popping.
Speaker 3: You're in Veil. You know, you can have fun. People
Speaker 3: you know like to party in Vail. Are those days done?
Speaker 3: Are those days done?
Speaker 5: You know they're not. I like to have a good time.
Speaker 5: I like to go out.
Speaker 17: I like to bust balls. I like to have my
Speaker 17: friends around. We you know, bust each other's chops. That's
Speaker 17: how we're partying now. And I don't ever go overboard anymore. Definitely,
Speaker 17: back in the day, Dan, I was going overboard. You know,
Speaker 17: you just get so hammered and stuff, and you can't
Speaker 17: do that anymore, just five days to recover. I'm a
Speaker 17: social drinker now. I don't do it much, but I'm
Speaker 17: a social drink. I'm gonna setting. I like to have
Speaker 17: one or two get you feeling good. But it's very
Speaker 17: dangerous up here in this elevation.
Speaker 5: Actually I didn't like it.
Speaker 17: I had an ipa beer eleven thousand feet up and
Speaker 17: it made me feel like complete garbage.
Speaker 5: But I did have it.
Speaker 17: I did then come down. I had a tequila shot
Speaker 17: at the top off the day. And let me tell you,
Speaker 17: the tequila shot got me rolling then. So no beers,
Speaker 17: no ipa beers up in this elevation. For some reason,
Speaker 17: the elevation and the beers don't go together.
Speaker 2: That's a great tip. Like do you ski?
Speaker 17: Yes, I'm a skier, Okay, Yes, I love skiing. I
Speaker 17: ski growing up in Buffalo. Those are small mountains there,
Speaker 17: but now this is the big Dog mountains and people
Speaker 17: are amazed. They don't know it's me, because that's what's
Speaker 17: so great about skiing is that I just go out there.
Speaker 5: I'm a free man up there.
Speaker 17: But so many people have been coming up to me, Yo,
Speaker 17: you're a huge like how are you skiing?
Speaker 5: Like your skis are huge?
Speaker 17: They look like boats, they look like two snowboards on
Speaker 17: each leg. And that's the experience I've been having. But
Speaker 17: it's funny because I changed my voice too when I
Speaker 17: talk to people, because I just like being free up
Speaker 17: here and don't want anyone to knows it's me just
Speaker 17: cruising around.
Speaker 2: What's the fake voice?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I just come up with on
Speaker 5: a spot like, Yo, what what up?
Speaker 17: Like, Yeah, I'm tall, Like it's just soft sorry, I'm tall, Like, yeah,
Speaker 17: I get it all the time.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: Well, good luck with UH Bucked Up, the UH leading
Speaker 3: sports nutrition and lifestyle brand and the title sponsor of
Speaker 3: the LA Bowl, hosted by Gronk. That'll be Saturday night
Speaker 3: after the Heisman Trophy ceremony at so Far. Great to
Speaker 3: catch up with you at Gronk. Thank you, Bud, Hey, Dan.
Speaker 5: Thanks for always having me on your show. Man, It's
Speaker 5: always a pleasure.

Speaker 3: the LA Bowl.
Speaker 10: Yes, Paul, we're in here laughing the entire time. He's
Speaker 10: he's so refreshing, Like if the aliens come to attack,
Speaker 10: let's send Gronk out to talk for us, because they'll
Speaker 10: be doing keg stands in an hour. Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker 3: And then I had an eye, and then I got
Speaker 3: an iPhone. Then I had a shot at the Q.
Speaker 3: Every time he's on, we say the same thing.
Speaker 2: Is it an act? There is that? And who he
Speaker 2: really is? I think it's who he is.
Speaker 3: Shaq is going to join us on the program tomorrow.
Speaker 3: You know, the back room guys go, hey, you know
Speaker 3: Shaq has that big party at the Super Bowl. I go, yeah,

Speaker 3: it up to him tomorrow. Be like, you know, if

Speaker 1: have that for you. Coming up, Spurs meet the Lakers.
Speaker 1: So Spurs don't even have Wemby in there, and they
Speaker 1: ended up winning one thirty two to one. Nineteen Lakers
Speaker 1: defense is a little suspect I might be able to
Speaker 1: play defense for the Lakers.
Speaker 3: San Antonio's won nine of its last twelve. The Thunder
Speaker 3: one again. They blew out the Suns one thirty eight
Speaker 3: to eighty nine forty nine point win. They're twenty four
Speaker 3: and one, and as we pointed out earlier, SGA has
Speaker 3: not played in the fourth quarter fourth quarter in thirteen
Speaker 3: of their twenty five games because they don't need him.
Speaker 3: He'd be averaging over thirty six points per game. If
Speaker 3: you pro rated what he normally gets in a game
Speaker 3: playing in the fourth quarter, be thirty six points per game.
Speaker 3: You can give me a It's out of the day,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Benini America, the official trading cards
Speaker 3: of the program. Let's see, is it bemas in Minnesota? Bemas.
Speaker 15: Hey, hey you're there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Oh, it's an honor, a great honor.
Speaker 2: Talking to you.
Speaker 13: A couple of weeks ago, something really disturbing happened in
Speaker 13: a game that jim Nantz was calling. Running back leapt
Speaker 13: over the line scored a touchdown, and jim Nantz referred
Speaker 13: to it as Marcus Allen rather than Walter paytonish And
Speaker 13: how's wondering if you could use your influences sports media's
Speaker 13: most powerful person to get them fired.
Speaker 3: Let me ask Pauli if he was bothered by that.
Speaker 3: Being the Walder Peyton apologist, it was.
Speaker 10: Clearly unintentional by Jim Nantz and he'll have to answer
Speaker 10: for it. But it seemed unintentional by mister Nance.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Bellmus. I'm sorry that that's bothered you.
Speaker 10: It bothered me, but I got over it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Marcus Allen used to do that too.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he loved watching Walter Payton grog up.
Speaker 3: You could do Sam Bam cunning Hand. That's very fair,
Speaker 3: you could say that, Sam Bam Cunningham. Uh, Joe and Orlando,
Speaker 3: Hi Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12: How are we doing?
Speaker 6: Dan?
Speaker 12: Happy Thursday, Dan Nett's as Well five. It's a beautiful
Speaker 12: day down here in Orlando, and I'm actually getting ready
Speaker 12: to head down to the studio as I am a
Speaker 12: student of the program here at full Sale. So thank
Speaker 12: you for the opportunity and the knowledge that you and
Speaker 12: the program directors provide to us.
Speaker 8: It's amazing what we have on our hands down here.
Speaker 12: So on first, I want to mention the as Stuart
Speaker 12: Scott documentary from last night. Being an aspiring sports broadcaster.
Speaker 12: Not only did I learn a lot about Stuart, but
Speaker 12: I learned a lot about the industry and finding yourself
Speaker 12: else in the industry. So that was a beautiful watch,
Speaker 12: and yeah, your hair does go five times platinum in
Speaker 12: the documentary, so I do recommend the watch. But what
Speaker 12: I am calling about is the Denver Broncos Man the
Speaker 12: bo Nicks and the Broncos of rattledolfs ten straight wins.
Speaker 12: They come back home to Denver this week against the
Speaker 12: Packers and their other dogs.
Speaker 5: So I just want to see what's your take.
Speaker 12: Do you think the Broncos will be able to close
Speaker 12: out the season in the AFC as the number one seed,
Speaker 12: they have some pretty hard games jagged of nine wins.
Speaker 12: The Chiefs are the Chiefs and it's an arrowhead. The
Speaker 12: Chargers are also a nine win team as a division opponent,
Speaker 12: so do you think they'll be able to close out
Speaker 12: the AFC. The Patriots have a little bit of a
Speaker 12: less hard schedule, so what's your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3: Well, you know what this comes down to Sean Payton
Speaker 3: and bow Nicks because that defense will travel. I'm just
Speaker 3: not sure about that offense and Patriots that's scheduled not
Speaker 3: as demanding. But Denver's been a great story this year, Todd,
Speaker 3: When you want to give me the pie of the
Speaker 3: face following our Broncos bet that came down to the wire.
Speaker 3: I mean it got pretty close because yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: but uh, when when do you want to give me
Speaker 3: a pie to the face?
Speaker 6: Whenever you're up for it. We could do it next Friday, man, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: for they get it over with before the holidays.
Speaker 3: I think there's a few people need pies to the face. Marvin,
Speaker 3: you need one? I need to two of them seating.
Speaker 3: Am I supposed to get a spray tan?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 7: Or?
Speaker 2: Did I imagine that?
Speaker 4: I feel like just like sometime in the last week
Speaker 4: somebody called in was like, hey, you owe me a
Speaker 4: spray tan?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: I don't know what that's from. I know Bad Larry
Speaker 3: lost a bet on the gambling podcast has to do
Speaker 3: a spray Maybe we could do it two for one.
Speaker 3: You and Bad Larry stripped down and uh do.
Speaker 2: And do a spray tan. I could not do a
Speaker 2: spray tan.
Speaker 14: Why not?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Just kind of creepy for a guy.
Speaker 2: I can't do that.
Speaker 3: I did meet a woman her job is to give
Speaker 3: spray towns in New York City. She was telling me
Speaker 3: all the famous people come in and I was like, oh, okay, yeah.
Speaker 10: Pauline, I'm looking for bakery slash tanning spies right now
Speaker 10: business that does both? Oh, not a lot of them out.
Speaker 3: There, so like a hole in the market. Yes to
Speaker 3: me a pie, I'm in for to get a pie.
Speaker 3: But while I'm waiting, I'm gonna get a spray town.
Speaker 10: Why not?
Speaker 2: I like it? How about this day in sports history?
Speaker 10: Paul just a couple of Dan Jodamajo retired nineteen fifty one,
Speaker 10: played all thirteen years with the Yankees. Muhammad Ali retired
Speaker 10: in nineteen eighty one. His last fight was Trevor Berbick.
Speaker 10: Berbick and Mary Lemeux came back to play and became
Speaker 10: a player owner, the first in NHL history.
Speaker 2: But Ali lost his fight to Trevor Burbick.
Speaker 5: Correct.
Speaker 2: It was a unanimous decision with Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 3: Let me see anything else that needs to be mentioned here?
Speaker 10: Yes, Paul, I do have a name for Michigan. And
Speaker 10: some people are throwing this out there on the social
Speaker 10: media's and it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 10: Kenny Dillingham, the head coach of Arizona State very good
Speaker 10: year last year, has been a college coach his entire career,
Speaker 10: known for working with quarterbacks and offenses and he's only
Speaker 10: thirty five years old.
Speaker 2: Does he have any Michigan ties?
Speaker 10: No Michigan ties, no baggage, no NCA investigations. Thirty five
Speaker 10: years old and his quarterback just left, Sam Levitt, so
Speaker 10: he maybe he's only thirty five Kenny Dillingham, Yeah, dang,
Speaker 10: he was a high school coach eight years ago.
Speaker 2: Well we had him on and you know, great energy.
Speaker 10: He's refreshing too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I saw his name on the short list there.
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe that list is now a long list.
Speaker 5: There.
