1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. This guy was finished third I think in 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: the Heisman balloting two thousand and six, Troy Smith one, 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: Darren McFadden, and then Brady Quinn, the former Notre Dame 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: fighting irishman joining us on the program. What did you 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: get for being a finalist for the Heisman Trophy? Brady? 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: A trip to New York and I got to sit 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: there for a while and watch someone else get the reward. 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Now it was Look, it was a good experience. You 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: got to be around a lot of the other pass 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: grades in college football. It's obviously an honor just to 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: be in consideration for it. And that's you know, that's 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: gonna be the interesting part about this year, in listening 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: to your discussion, is you know, there really should be 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: probably six or seven guys that go. You know, they 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: base it technically on the balloting or voting and that 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: point system that they have and how many guys get 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: first place, second place, third place votes. But the reality 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: is it's hard to think that there's not gonna be 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: a you know, there's probably be hard to distinguish between 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: who you know should be the guy this year. I 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: think if you're looking at the best quarterback play, that 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: would be Bryce Young. In my opinion, I think he's 24 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: been the best quarterback from wire to wire. Even though 25 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: last week's game he struggled mightily. However, he did come 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: up when they needed it the most. Kenny Pickett's the 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: most valuable to his team. I don't know that pits 28 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: anywhere close to playing an ACC championship game. If he's 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: not there, you could probably make a case for him. 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: You know, I heard you talking about Jordan Davis, and 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: that's probably the downside of playing that position. Is as 32 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: good as you can be as a defensive tackle. When 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: you play on the interior of the D line, it's 34 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: everyone else around you who's more often than not going 35 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: to be able to have success since you. But you're 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: still doing your job and you're dominant, but it just 37 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: doesn't get appreciated the same way as Aidan Hutcheson, for example, 38 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: who you can make the case as the best player 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: in college football with the way he's played this year 40 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: as a defensive end and in their biggest moment, you know, 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: last week he added Heisman as far as three sacks 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: fifteen pressures, which is unheard of. I mean, you can 43 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: make the case that he's as deserving of it as anyone. 44 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:16,559 Speaker 1: Let me let me start with Brian Kelly his departure. 45 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: I know that you, being a Notre Dame fighting irishman. 46 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: How could he have done it differently, better, more tactfully. 47 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: He could have waited. He literally could have just waited 48 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: a week if LSU wanted Brian Kelly that bad or 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: let me put it this way, if coach Kelly wanted 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: to leave Notre Dame, the most tactful way he could 51 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: have done it is say to LSU, look, I want 52 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: to come there, you want me, Let's just put push 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: this thing off a week because if we have a 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: chance to win and it works out this weekend where 55 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: they're actually in the college football playoffs, I want to 56 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: go finish this job and try to coach this team 57 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: to a national championship. And you should want that, because 58 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: you should want me to do the same thing if 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm in that position at LSU. And the reason why 60 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: I say that is in part for the players, the coaches, 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: everything that he was able to accomplish during his time 62 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame, that's just the proper way to do it. 63 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: And also though for LSU because he's already done this 64 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: before to Cincinnati. He built them up, got them to 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: a New Year's Six game, and then left before that 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: bowl game. And then now he's become the all time 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: winning his head coach at Notre Dame and left again 68 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: at a time where you're going, you could have just 69 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: waited a week to see if they're playing for it 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: and if the look if the team was playing for 71 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: a New Year's Six and they don't make it in 72 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: still be it. No one's gonna hold it against you. 73 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: But now I kind of Warren LSU fans. You know, 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: he's poked around and wanting to coach in the NFL 75 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: at some point, you know what would exclude him from 76 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: having a couple of great seasons at LSU, which you 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: know they'll probably have some you know, have success, and 78 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: then he starts wanting to leave to show take an 79 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: NFL job. I mean, the timing is a little different 80 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: because the seasons. But that's where I just say, if 81 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: he just would have waited a week, I don't know 82 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: that anyone would be upset about him wanting to leave 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: for ninety five million dollars and where he feels like 84 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: he's got a better chance of winning a national championship. 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: That's his own prerogative, but the time at which he did, 86 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: and then the way things become public with him telling 87 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: that team, hey, I think you're a top four team 88 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: and then turning around a day later and telling you know, 89 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: the LFE players why he's there and why it's not 90 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: a Notre Dame. It it all seems hypocritical, but probably 91 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: nothing worse than the Southern accent that was displayed last 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: night at the basketball game in bat Rouge. That was 93 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: that took the cake. Though I'm not sure you're ever 94 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: coming back to that. Well. I don't know if you 95 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: know this, but Notre Dame major deficial. Marcus Freeman is 96 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: the new head coach and we have exclusive audio of 97 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: him taking over, and you know he is embracing the 98 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: culture at Notre Dame. Brady, I just wanted to say 99 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: it isn't it. It's a real pleasure and an honor 100 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: to be made. They head culture to fighting Irish. See. 101 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it happened there in South ben and it 102 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: happened to Brian Kelly. You know at LSU. It's weird 103 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: how it works out like that. You know, you just 104 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: you find yourself and that you know, that top position, 105 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: you feel like you gotta assimilate and fit in and 106 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: all that. But no, I mean, look, I'm happy for Marcus. 107 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: I think he you know, not only it'll continually get 108 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: better and better and better as a head coach. I 109 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: mean he continued to improve just as a defensive coordinator. 110 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: You know, the players love him. You see the energy 111 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: around that place. He kept everything intact. I mean, look 112 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: at it. How many coaches want with Brian Kelly to lsu. 113 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: If that gives you kind of any indication of how 114 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: they feel about Notre Dame, the rest of the coaches 115 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: on that staff, the players in that locker room, and 116 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: their opportunity moving forward, it kind of just goes to 117 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: show you that, you know, they feel differently than the 118 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: head coach felt obviously leaving. So yeah, the reality is 119 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: they're hoping he'll be kind of like Mike Tomlin who 120 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: took over, who hadn't been a head coach before, but 121 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: took over at Pittsburgh, you know, was able to win 122 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. You know, it was able to you know, 123 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: have a ton of success since he's been there, especially 124 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: relatively early. I think that's the hope they're a Notre 125 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: dame and what you're looking at with Marcus Freeman. Brady 126 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: will be part of Fox on Site pregame show in 127 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: Indianapolis on Saturday night. It's Iowa and Michigan in the 128 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: Big Ten title game. Pregame show starts at seven Eastern 129 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: with kickoff at eight Eastern. Watching Last Night with Taysom 130 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Hill and the Taysom Hill experiment, I said, you know, 131 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: you got to decide you want to play him, then 132 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: go all in as your quarterback, like you want him 133 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: to be Lamar Jackson, then let's try to make him 134 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. But what do you make of the Taysom 135 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: Hill experiment. Well, I think it's hard to make him 136 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson if you've got ten other guys who have 137 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: to adapt to a completely different style of offense. I mean, 138 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't care if it was Drew Brees last year 139 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: or Jamis Winston when when he was starting this year. 140 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: That's a different offense then what you're going to run 141 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: with Taysom Hill. If you want to make him that, 142 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: then what you're you know, running with Jamis Winston or 143 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: Drew Brees in the past. So that's more of the 144 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: difficulty is and that's why I think you see that 145 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: kind of you need like an offseason to really adapt 146 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: and adjust to that and find the type of personnel 147 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: that you need at the wide receiver tight end positions 148 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: to make it work. But I think at this point 149 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: we kind of know what Taysom Hill is as a quarterback. 150 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: I think we know what kind of offense they have 151 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: to try to run and in order to be successful, 152 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: so that you know, I don't want to call it 153 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: an experiment, you know, or just whatever the cision that 154 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: shown paid made at this point, I think the tough 155 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: thing for them moving forward is deciding on like, what 156 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: is our quarterback situation? Did Jameis Winston show us enough? 157 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: Do they want to turn it over to Ian Book, 158 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: which would be what I would do right now, and 159 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: see what he's capable of doing. You drafted him for 160 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: a reason. You should probably know where you're out with 161 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: every quarterback on this roster as you head into twenty 162 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: twenty two, whether that's if you're looking for a veteran 163 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, to trade or who would be a free agent, 164 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: or if you're looking in the draft again at one 165 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks in the first round, you you better 166 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: have a good feel for what everyone's capable of doing 167 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: where you're at at that position. So at this point, 168 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: I think we've seen enough to kind of know what 169 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: he is and what he's not, and I think he's 170 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: more valuable to their team as that Swiss army knife 171 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: as opposed to, you know, playing quarterback around a group 172 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: that's just not I don't think the roster's built to 173 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: play like that. I think they're more built for a 174 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: pocket pass or a Drew Brees at Jamis Winston. If 175 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: we did a redraft with Micah Parsons, So Trevor Lawrence, 176 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: stop me where you would put Micah Parsons. Trevor Lawrence 177 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: goes number one, Zach Wilson goes number two, Trey Lands 178 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: goes I mean, I think you'd already started there saying 179 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: maybe Mac Jones goes number two if it's gonna be 180 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: another quarterback taken. But yeah, okay, but where's Micah Parsons go? 181 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Would you take him somewhere? Like if you're Atlanta with 182 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. Bengals got a great player in Jamar Chase. 183 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle has played well in Miami. Penny's sewell in Detroit. 184 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: JC wore. I'll put it this way, he was if 185 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: you're just looking at the overall prospects and taking out positions, 186 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he was one of without about a top 187 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: five prospect. So if you're ranking it that way, I 188 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: mean based on his ability to play off the ball, 189 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: on the ball, rush to pass, all that stuff. I mean, 190 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: he's freakishly athletic. He was a top prospect. You know, 191 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: you would have looked at him as you could he 192 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: help any team that he got drafted to and immediately 193 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: have an impact and eventually you could see him wearing 194 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: a gold jacket some day. Yeah, and so you could 195 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: probably have stopped at the Jets at two and said 196 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: if they didn't have a huge need at quarterback, but 197 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: they did, so you really can't go that direction there. 198 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: And then as you perceive through the rest of the draft, 199 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, San Francisco could have used them, sure, but 200 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: they wanted to go after Trey Lance because maybe they 201 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: feel like he's more of the future. They didn't want 202 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: to pass up on that. So we can go through 203 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: the draft, but the reality is he was probably a 204 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: top four, top three prospect at you know, overall, if 205 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: you just took away all the positions and what he 206 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: had put on tape and how he was going to 207 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: test and how he's going to segue into the NFL. 208 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: Why do we put designations on players because Michael Parsons 209 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: went from being a linebacker too. We need you as 210 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: an edge rusher, and you get paid as an edge rusher. 211 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: You don't get paid as a linebacker. And I think 212 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting to watch, is you know 213 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: how he's listed. But Michael Parsons is sort of a T. J. 214 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: Watt kind of player and you know, should be up 215 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: there for Defensive Player of the Year because this was 216 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: this is one of the worst defenses statistically in the 217 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: history of the sport, and he along with Diggs and 218 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: dan Quinn have really made them presentable at least and 219 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: at times formidable. But you'd have to say it was 220 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of luck. I mean he's started playing 221 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: off the edge like that because of injuries. Yeah, it 222 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily where they were originally going to put him. 223 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: And that's usually how this all works out, right, Like 224 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady ended up in New England out of you know, luck, 225 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: he got trapped in the sixth round. He turned out 226 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: to be the goodest player of all times. So that's 227 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: a piece of it. I think how dan Quinn uses 228 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: him is a part of it too. Understanding his background 229 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: he had played defensive end of the past. When you 230 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: saw him rush the pass or at ten state, you 231 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: understood he could be able to get pressures, he could 232 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. So all those things got to 233 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: add it up to his ability to do it. But 234 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: you have to have a coaching staff that's willing to 235 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: that's going to be willing to look at his stature 236 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: in size and say, Kenny still set the edge, Kenny 237 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: still plays stout on that side, even though he's not 238 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: your typical you know, four three defensive end, what that 239 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: body style looks like. So it's a little bit of luck. 240 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: It's coaching. It's obviously the abilities of Michael Parsons, who 241 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: can pick that sort of stuff up as a young 242 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: player in this league, which probably is the most impressive thing. 243 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: It's just you talk about football, like you a guy 244 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: who could play off the ball like that, where he 245 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: was probably originally designated dude play and now he plays 246 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: on the ball and he's able to do it flawlessly. 247 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: It's not even like he's hit a rookie wall or 248 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: you feel like he's had a bad game. Wire to wire, 249 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal this entire season for them, so obviously 250 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: you've got to give him a ton of credit to 251 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: to a way he's kind of devoted himself. And I 252 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: know he didn't play last year at Penn State, so 253 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: maybe you know that was part of it too. He 254 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: was preparing himself for understanding the NFL game as he 255 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: was sitting out last year, more likely to see a 256 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: surprise Michigan Iowa or Georgia Alabama. Well, if you're if 257 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna look at the betting lines, you would say 258 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: Alabama because that's at least a closer spread. And I'd 259 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: probably say Alabama too, just because they've got a couple 260 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: of absolute stars. I feel I'd be remiss if I 261 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: didn't mentioned Will anderson is being in that conversation along 262 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: with Aidan Hutchinson. I mean, you know, Will Anderson has 263 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: been a part of the defense that gets overshadowed by 264 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: Georgia because George has been so good. I mean, they 265 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: remind me of like the ninety three Florida State defense 266 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: if we go back that far. But I mean, you know, 267 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: their second to Georgia and almost every category for the 268 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: most part, he's been a big reason why, and so 269 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: you could throw his name into that list of Heisman candidates. 270 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: But they've got him on one side, they got Bryce 271 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: Young on the other. And if there's like two guys 272 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: who can really and truly impact the game, it's at 273 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: that edge position. Then it's at the quarterback spot. And 274 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: Bryce Young makes up for so many of their issues 275 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: up front, whether schematically on their offensive line or just mismatches, 276 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: and then this will be a tough one for them. 277 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: You know, every single week he makes some throws and 278 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: plays that you just go no one else is really 279 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: doing this in college football, and he's only a freshman. 280 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: So I think George is the team that probably you 281 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: would say in this championship weekend, of the teams that 282 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: are in contentions with the playoff, is the one that 283 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: you might put on upset alert just because of the 284 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: stars that they have on each side of the football 285 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: at Bammer. Great to talk to you. Safe travels to 286 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: Indy and we'll talk to you next week. Thank you, Brady, 287 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: sounds good.

Yes, there's a couple of 358 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: issues we have though, Dan, because and the press release 359 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: says he was part of eight four Sports Emmy nominations. 360 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: They should included he was part of eight other times 361 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: we were not nominated for the sports he was part 362 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: of those two. Do we keep mclovin the name? Do 363 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: we intellectual property? Do we keep well McLevin wanted to 364 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: be known as Pearl. Is he now Pearl? Though if 365 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: he wants, I don't think he wants mclovin. I gave 366 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: him the name because I thought he looked like the 367 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: guy from you know, Super Bad mclovin, like he would 368 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: be related to him. And I just said, he looks 369 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: like mclovin, and it just stayed. He kept saying, you know, 370 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: my nickname in college was Pearl. It stayed because you 371 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: could have remembered my real name. For the first three 372 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: months I was up here, Paully called me commander until 373 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: about two ago. That is that is you know, that's 374 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: your fallback when PAULI doesn't know your name. Hey, hey, commander. Yeah, 375 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: poll Mag's and the Pearl in the morning. It was 376 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 1: the afternoon afternoons. Yeah. Yeah, they don't dare or put 377 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: him up against the show in the morning. They had 378 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: to put him in the afternoon. Well, I gotta watch 379 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: the show and steal ideas from you guys in the morning. Busy, Oh, 380 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: you would be the one stealing ideas well. It's sort 381 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: of that the way the business works. Yeah, it does. 382 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: It's a sampling, is what it's called in the music industry. 383 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: But Paul brought up an instru question, like the four nominations, Yes, 384 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: the fifth nomination if it comes, I don't want to 385 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: take same thing. I'm at the I'm here for the annual. 386 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 1: You would you would get a Sports Emmy if we 387 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: would win, if if if, But you know, I'll just 388 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: take the nomination. Yeah, I think we did a poll 389 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: question on this once, would it bother you if you 390 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: left the show? And who want to Sports Emmy? The 391 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: next year we did a poll question though that would 392 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: that would be awesome if we won the Sports Emmy 393 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: and mclovin was gone. We went it for twenty twenty 394 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: two and then we could point at mclovin is the 395 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: reason why we never won and we didn't know it 396 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: until we left. I would like to thank you for 397 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: the war.

We spoke with 432 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: Adam Carolla and I asked him if he'd ever been 433 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: fired from a job. Well, I mean, it's it's a 434 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: little murky these days, but you know my radio format, 435 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: my radio station I was on when I was doing 436 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: morning radio when I took over for Howard Stern on 437 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: the West Coast Flip Formats in oh nine, So I 438 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: wasn't really fired, but I didn't have a place to 439 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: go Monday morning, so i'll, i'll, I'll take that as firing. 440 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: But when you think back on that you're replacing Howard Stern, 441 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: was there any part of you that said, what am 442 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: I doing? Well? You know, when I was replacing Howard Stern, 443 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: and I was successful and had a bunch of affiliates 444 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: and was number one and a lot of markets and 445 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: did it for over three years, people would say to 446 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: me all time, like, wow, you're replacing Howard Stern. And 447 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: I had an answer for him. And also I had 448 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: a history. I had done Earn Show fifty times, I'd 449 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: sat in with him all the time. I used to 450 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: sit in Artie's chair and you know, do all four 451 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: hours and stuff like that. So too many Stern was 452 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: the great and powerful odds, you know, to me, I 453 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: kind of knew him as a friend and almost a 454 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: colleague and a guy. And I felt like I'd been 455 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: in the ring and sparred with the champ so many 456 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: times that I felt like, oh, yeah, I feel confident 457 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: about this. But I said, when people said, you know 458 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: you're replacing Howard Stern, aren't you intimidated? And I said, 459 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: you know, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston used to be 460 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: married and then they got divorced. And if somebody said, 461 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: would you like to date Jennifer Aniston? Your first thought 462 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: might be, well, I don't know if I look as 463 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: good as Brad Pitt with my shirt off, but you'd 464 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: be a fool not to say yes. And that's the 465 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: way I approached it, Would you date Brad Pitt? That's 466 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: kind of what I was saying. I'm glad you're able. 467 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: Should you ever apologize for a joke? I always think 468 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: you should apologize on a macro level and not a 469 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: micro level. So you know, sometimes with me, people go oh, 470 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: he never apologizes. I apologize to my daughter all the time. 471 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: I would apologize to my wife, I'd apologize to my dad, 472 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: my mom, like my sister, like friends, like people I'd 473 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: done something wrong too. On a sort of micro level, 474 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to be the person that just doesn't apologize. 475 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, if you walk into a Starbucks and you 476 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: cut in front of somebody in line and they say, 477 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: excuse me, apologize, oh sorry, I didn't see you. You know, 478 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: but when you tell a joke and you sort of 479 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: put it out to the world and the mob comes 480 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: after you, then don't apologize to the mob. Apologize to 481 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: the man. I explain the new show that you're doing. 482 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: The Daily Wire has a new comedy show. It's called 483 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: Truth Yeller, and yet Jay Leno is your first guest. 484 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: William Shatner, Rob Wriggle or so, what is the goal 485 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: with this show. Well, it's a series of stand up specials, 486 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: hour long stand up specials. It's on the Daily Wire. 487 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: For me, I'm a comedian. I want to do a 488 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: stand up special. There's no real play for me at 489 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: Netflix or HBO. Hollywood has kind of gotten ultra woke, 490 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: and I'm on the wrong side of history according to them. 491 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: So I went somewhere that would embrace me, and that 492 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: was The Daily Wire. It's a traditional stand up special. 493 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: At the beginning, I do about fifteen or twenty minutes 494 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: of stand at the beginning. Then the guest comes out, 495 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: guest does a little bit of stand up, will do 496 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: an interview, will place games, and at the end we 497 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: do a full improv game where before the show we'll 498 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: hand up balls to the audience. They'll write one word 499 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: on it. It'll go into a bingo hopper. The guests 500 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: they'll pull it out, say the one word, and whatever 501 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: the one word is, we need to do or I 502 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: need to do a stand up routine on it. So 503 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: it's improv, it's stand ups, kind of a hybrid thing. 504 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: It's a good show. We've done two so far. They've 505 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: really turned out great, and it's just exciting to kind 506 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: of mess with the format a little bit. How dangerous 507 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: of a time is it for comedians? Well, it's dangerous 508 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: if you're a comedian and you host a bachelor, or 509 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: you're a comedian and you work for ESPN, or you know, 510 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: if you have a mothership. It's very dangerous if your 511 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: mothership is HBO or ABC or CNN, or you're going 512 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: to get screwed. You're not can be able to go 513 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: out do a set that night and then come back 514 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: to work in the morning. Someone's going to film you. 515 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: If you don't really have a mother ship, if you 516 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: can be sort of autonomous like I am, then there's 517 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: no danger whatsoever. The real danger is when you're getting 518 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: a paycheck from Disney, and Disney can cut you off. 519 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: Give me the person that you'd love to interview in 520 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: this format, Well, Dan, I feel like you would make 521 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: a vetching gust Okay, then I'll go with Leiah Coca. 522 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: Is he still alive? No, he's not. Now I'm out 523 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: of answers. Um. Yeah, I mean like someone like Charles 524 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: Barkley would be awesome up there, you know, or maybe 525 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or you know, somebody who was kind of 526 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: in the zeit guy, someone who had something to say, 527 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: someone who had, you know, aspirations beyond what they did 528 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: on the court or the playing field. Guys guys like that, 529 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Lebron James. Yeah, although I feel like Tom 530 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: Brady and Lebron, I think Tom would be a little 531 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: careful about what he was saying Lebron would have a 532 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: kind of hard angle to what he was saying. They 533 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: would all be welcome, of course, but to me, I 534 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: feel I feel like the round amount of rebound would 535 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: probably be my choice. And I'm sure you've been around people. 536 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated that if I'm around a stand up 537 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: comedian or I'm around somebody who is just funny, that 538 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the person who is just funny could 539 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,239 Speaker 1: be a stand up comedian. And sometimes that stand up 540 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: comedian is not good at just being funny in the room. 541 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: Does that make sense to you? Yeah? I think, you know, 542 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: to bring it to your world, I always thought being 543 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: funny is like saying, that guy's athletic, you know what 544 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean, But what's his sport? You know, where's the training? 545 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: You know, you know, what is the discipline? You know. 546 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: Comedy is kind of that way, you know, being generically funny. 547 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: It is like saying, oh, that guy's a really good athlete, 548 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: you know what. But but but you don't get paid 549 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: unless you pick a sport, you know, and then you 550 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: focus on it and you get good at it. Stand 551 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: up you know, late night hosts, morning radio taking that 552 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: funny that athleticism and then directing it and training it 553 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: because you know, we all remember you guys that were 554 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: just great natural athletes, but you got to you gotta train, 555 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: you gotta study the game film. Going back to Tom 556 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: Brady and back to back to guys like Brady, I 557 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: know guys who were really funny, but they couldn't really 558 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: get get it out on stage, you know, just like 559 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: that guy's a great athlete, but he's not again, and 560 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: then other guys would play beyond their ability, or they 561 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: were gamers, you know, they showed up in those real 562 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: clutch moment months and got that hit in the ninth inning. 563 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: So sports and comedy are kind of kind of analogous 564 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: in that in that regard. But who is the funniest 565 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: comedian who's not doing his stand up bit where you're 566 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: just sitting around at dinner and and he just makes 567 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: you laugh where it hurts, you know. I always say, 568 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: like people say to me, like, who's the funniest guy 569 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: you know? Adam, And I go, you don't know that 570 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: guy's name. That's that's the problem. You know, they're guys. 571 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, guys like Jimmy Kimmel are funny guys. But 572 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: I know guys that are technically funnier, but they don't 573 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: have his work ethic, that don't have his focus, they 574 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: don't have his drive, that don't have his ten thousand 575 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: hours of experience that you know, just like you know 576 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice and Jerry Porter. You know Jerry Porter, and 577 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: I do you think about this? Because I know Jerry 578 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: I was at the Raiders training camp when Jerry Porter, 579 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: who was a wide out for the Raiders and someone 580 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: else after that, he was an amazing, phenomenal athlete. Jerry 581 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: Porter was taller, faster and had bigger hands than Jerry Rice. 582 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: But but Jerry Rice is going to the Hall of 583 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: Fame and Jerry Porter isn't. And that's not because Jerry 584 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: Rice is a better athlete than Jerry Porter. Is this 585 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: the first Jerry Porter reference on the show? Paulieu in 586 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: at least a decade? Okay, that's what I That's what 587 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: I thought. I challenge you Dan to watch Jerry Porter 588 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: and try it yourself. When he made a catch and 589 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: he got knocked down and he was on his back 590 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, he could get up without using a 591 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: hand from his back, he would kick. Look it up, everyone, 592 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: look it up. He would kick his heels to the side, 593 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: hold the ball on his chest and just rise. He's 594 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: a sixty three, two hundred thirty pound guy in full 595 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: pants who would just pop up. He was a credible 596 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: athlete and it really meant nothing to his ability to 597 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: catch a pass. No, it didn't. I think it freaked 598 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: the defense. I've been around David's Spade before, and so Sandler, 599 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Chris Rock, the whole group when they're around Schneider, Spade's 600 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: the funniest guy. And and they acknowledge it. Rock and 601 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 1: Sandlers say Spade is the funniest guy. Now, if I 602 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: put that, you know, to a question for people, they 603 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: would not pick David Spade over Sandler or Chris Rock 604 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: or Chris Farley. You know, there's just something about the 605 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: sneaky throwaway line that I love. See. I was never 606 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: a Robin Williams fan because it was so there where 607 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: I want to find it. I don't want it to 608 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: find me. But you know, you have some comedians, you know, 609 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: Sam Kennison was there right in front of you, a 610 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: lot of great guys. I just love the humor where 611 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: they tap you on the shoulder. Where do you stand 612 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: with that? Yeah? No, i'm i'm, I'm with you. I 613 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: feel the same way about lingerie. I just I mean, 614 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: I don't need all the heels and all the straps 615 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: and all the all the tassels. I just like a 616 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: nice braun, panties and it's code time. I don't want 617 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: to be hit in the face. I don't want to 618 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: get hit in the face either. With it, well, good 619 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: luck with it. It's great to talk to you again. 620 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Always good talk to you, Dan,
