Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Thursday. It's a meet
Speaker 1: Thursday because we're not here tomorrow. We got four chili's.
Speaker 1: We got the classic beef Chili, short ribbed Chili, white
Speaker 1: Chicken Chili, and Buffalo Chicken chili. All the recipes available
Speaker 1: on the newsletter. Go to Dan Patrick dot com and
Speaker 1: you can sign up and we'll send that out a
Speaker 1: little bit later on. Also, Todd is going to do
Speaker 1: all of his sports related Valentine's Day names. Those will
Speaker 1: be coming up on the newsletter as well. We're going
Speaker 1: to record those after the shows and then people can
Speaker 1: actually listen to you give those horrible sports, horrible man
Speaker 1: and we love the two that will sum up Todd,
Speaker 1: Fritz's Valentine's Day, Bill self and Hope solo battle pretty much.
Speaker 1: Although Todd thinks he's going to be James Harden, that's
Speaker 1: not going to be the case. Well might be. My
Speaker 1: planet is to get one of those Valentine's Day or
Speaker 1: those carvel like ice cream cakes that I know she
Speaker 1: likes with the little chocolate crunchies, and maybe that could
Speaker 1: lead this up. No, that's for you. That is mainly
Speaker 1: for me. It's a little late night snack. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be under the guise of one of the gifts
Speaker 1: for her with the flowers. I mean, your wife is
Speaker 1: a grown woman's like, she's not like a high school girlfriend. Here,
Speaker 1: how about some jewelry. She's got all the jewelry she needs.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no no no no no.
Speaker 1: A woman never so when she tells me that she
Speaker 1: has enough, she's just setting me up for failure. A
Speaker 1: woman never has enough jewelry. Never. I've been taking her
Speaker 1: word for the way for years. All right, Fine, we'll
Speaker 1: just have dinner and night, all right, thank you, Todd
Speaker 1: h Denny Hamlin will join us. He's going for a
Speaker 1: three peat at Daytona, something that's never happened before, and
Speaker 1: he'll join us coming up a little bit. I also
Speaker 1: talk about playing golf with Michael Jordan. I think they're
Speaker 1: doing that today after our interview. Even under the best circumstances,
Speaker 1: NBA regular season not the best indicator of what's going
Speaker 1: to happen in the playoffs. And you start with load management.
Speaker 1: Teams are watching their stars minutes closely, COVID protocol, guys
Speaker 1: missing games. Then the reality of NBA basketball is Winning
Speaker 1: the regular season is not the same as winning in
Speaker 1: May or June. Winning in the playoffs, the EBB and
Speaker 1: flow of energy throughout the season, having everybody healthy, the
Speaker 1: number one seed doesn't mean anything. Just look at Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: Defense gets so much tougher in the postseason and you
Speaker 1: never know who's going to step up with the bright
Speaker 1: lights Lebron, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler elevated his
Speaker 1: game last year. Regular season doesn't mean much. You just
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you're one of the top
Speaker 1: four seeds. In my opinion, just don't watch a team
Speaker 1: in February and tell me you know exactly what to
Speaker 1: expect come May or June. Spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: the last couple of days talking about Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: what he revealed to us. Then we had a source
Speaker 1: who was involved in the situation who said the next
Speaker 1: day that this is not a sustainable marriage and there's
Speaker 1: an urgency to this. And I think there was a
Speaker 1: lot more going on during the sea it's just with
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Russell, it never came out and he
Speaker 1: picked our show to be able to I guess reveal
Speaker 1: this or allowed me the opportunity to press him on
Speaker 1: some of these, and the question is, now what happens.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be traded. I think
Speaker 1: it would be very difficult for Seattle to trade him,
Speaker 1: a team to pick him up, and the amount of money.
Speaker 1: I think this is he's sort of doing what Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers did, and Rush did it in a different way
Speaker 1: than Aaron. Now because Aaron passive aggressive, He's sort of
Speaker 1: going a who knows what's happening with this team? But
Speaker 1: I don't even know about myself. It's I thought he
Speaker 1: was putting the team on notice. Look, I don't have
Speaker 1: many opportunities here. And this is before Brady wins the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I think the fact that Russell Wilson was
Speaker 1: there watching Tom Brady win the Super Bowl is what
Speaker 1: led him to being a little bit more outspoken of
Speaker 1: with his situation there. There's already speculation with the Raider
Speaker 1: is trade for I don't. I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: to be traded, and anybody who puts that out there,
Speaker 1: I think is just looking for clickbait. Carson Wentz is
Speaker 1: going to be traded. I'm assuming at some point I
Speaker 1: don't know when it wasn't immediate like it was reported.
Speaker 1: There were no offers on the table as it was reported,
Speaker 1: and you know my source was was correct in this.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he won't be traded today or tomorrow
Speaker 1: or over the weekend. But at the you know, the
Speaker 1: point where I brought it up, there were no offers
Speaker 1: on the table because the Eagles were being ludicrous in
Speaker 1: what they were asking for. Now, what you're finding out,
Speaker 1: they may have to load up some things with Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz and send him off. That's where we are with
Speaker 1: this situation. Now. Doesn't mean the Bears or Colts aren't gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, go for Carson Wentz, but that's what is
Speaker 1: happening in that situation. Deshaun Watson, we don't know. There's
Speaker 1: nothing there. There's nothing you know that that we can
Speaker 1: report here. But Deshaun Watson, I don't think he's traded.
Speaker 1: I think Carolina is a sneaky team to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on. But all of that is just kind of
Speaker 1: rumor in speculation right now. If you watch the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: if you listen to the Super Bowl, you heard the
Speaker 1: voice of our next announcer, our next voice, the renown
Speaker 1: PA announcer Alan Roach, the voice of twelve, super Bowl, six, Olympics,
Speaker 1: a World Cup, EA Sports, Madden with the Avalanche, the Vikings,
Speaker 1: a variety of things, and Alan kind enough to join
Speaker 1: us on the program. Alan, good morning. How are the
Speaker 1: pipes today? Hi? Dan, good morning, pleasure to be on
Speaker 1: the show. It feels like you may have had some
Speaker 1: whiskey and some cigarettes this morning to improve that voice,
Speaker 1: trying to outvoice me today, Alan, did you Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I've been up ninety minutes, so of course, okay. Can
Speaker 1: you not have that voice? Like when you're around the
Speaker 1: house with the family or your wife. Let's say you
Speaker 1: call up an order pizza? How does Alan shorter pizza?
Speaker 1: I would like sausage and mushroom? Pleads right over? How
Speaker 1: often are you recognized by just your voice? Always? Because
Speaker 1: I'm never recognized by the mud. It's truly amazing. How
Speaker 1: like even with a mask on? Now, ye go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store and just the question paper or plastic?
Speaker 1: Hey are you the announcer guy? How do you grow
Speaker 1: up to be a public address announcer? Yeah? Well that's
Speaker 1: kind of a long story that we don't have time for,
Speaker 1: but just fell into it. I mean the very first
Speaker 1: job I got was with the Colorado Springs sky Soos
Speaker 1: when they were the Cleveland Indians affiliate. I was doing
Speaker 1: radio in Colorado Springs, happened to go to a sky
Speaker 1: Sox game one night with a friend, went up in
Speaker 1: the press box because he'd known the GM just showed
Speaker 1: me around. I saw the guy over in the corner
Speaker 1: doing PA. I said, hey, if he's ever I he've
Speaker 1: ever goes on vacation, needs a break whatever. I'd like
Speaker 1: to try that GM. So have you ever done it? No?
Speaker 1: I think I could do that so well. Actually he's
Speaker 1: gonna be gone and like two weeks, gonna miss a weekend.
Speaker 1: Would you like to do three games? Sure? I did
Speaker 1: the three games, and they came to me after those
Speaker 1: and said, if you want the job, it's yours best
Speaker 1: moment you've ever had as a PA announcers What oh man,
Speaker 1: that's the best part of my job is there's way
Speaker 1: too many to count. I mean, David Tyree catching the
Speaker 1: football on his helmet, Joe Sakic passing the Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: to Ray Bourke, Joe Sakic and the Canadians winning the
Speaker 1: gold medal in Salt Lake City, Olympics for the first
Speaker 1: time in however many years it had been back then
Speaker 1: the six shootout goals by t j Oshe sitting in
Speaker 1: a arena in Russia with sixteen thousand Russian fans all
Speaker 1: ready to kill me after the game was over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: memories are members, there's so many. It's that's I've been blessed.
Speaker 1: What's your worst PA announcing moment? Ah, I've really only
Speaker 1: made one mistake. It was the day, well, okay, I've
Speaker 1: made a few. It was the day that Mark McGuire
Speaker 1: got traded from Oakland to Saint Louis, Okay. Tony LaRussa
Speaker 1: was already in Saint Louis. Mark McGuire got traded at
Speaker 1: like six o'clock in the evening on the night that
Speaker 1: the Rockies were playing, and I was announcing the Rockies
Speaker 1: and we were playing the Cubs that day. So in
Speaker 1: the press box where I sat, there's fifty writers and
Speaker 1: for a half hour all anyone could talk about was
Speaker 1: Mark McGuire got traded. Mark McGuire got traded, Mark McGuire
Speaker 1: got traded. So we get around to whatever inning it is,
Speaker 1: and the first baseman from the Chicago Cubs walks up
Speaker 1: to the plate and I opened the microphone and I say, now,
Speaker 1: batting number seventeen, which should have been Mark Grace, And
Speaker 1: I said Mark McGuire, and Grace turned around at the
Speaker 1: plate and stared at me, and he grounded out to shortstop.
Speaker 1: I talked to him, I don't know, three or four
Speaker 1: years after that, when he was broadcasting with the Arizona
Speaker 1: and I said, Hey, I'm I'm the announcer Alan Roach.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when Mark, Yes, I remember that, I
Speaker 1: am after you all the way to first place. He's
Speaker 1: Alan Roach, the renowned PA announcer joining us on the program. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was wondering when when let me let me play?
Speaker 1: I only did it once. I did public address announcing once.
Speaker 1: Now I've handed out the Super Bowl trophy four times,
Speaker 1: so then you get the big um. You know anthem,
Speaker 1: you know the stadium feel to it, and you always
Speaker 1: got to be worried about the feedback there or you
Speaker 1: know the echo. But this is what I did at
Speaker 1: spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona. I think back in two
Speaker 1: thousand and three, two thousand and four. I want you
Speaker 1: to tell me, and be honest, let you think of
Speaker 1: my PA announcing skills the left fielder and rating National
Speaker 1: Ague MVP. Barry Bonds. Bonds, the left fielder, adding fourth
Speaker 1: number twenty five, a man who homered in his lasted
Speaker 1: bat for me. Let's all rise and welcome Barry Bonds.
Speaker 1: All right, what do you think, Allen? I think you
Speaker 1: should have made it more about you. Well, he did
Speaker 1: homer for me. He homered twice. And I was doing
Speaker 1: my radio show, and I asked the giants so simultaneously,
Speaker 1: when's the last time you did a radio show? And
Speaker 1: then did public address announcing Alan. I did that for
Speaker 1: twenty years. I used to leave my radio show early
Speaker 1: in downtown Denver. I'd record the last hour of my
Speaker 1: show and then go over to the ballpark, then announced
Speaker 1: the Rockies games. I did that every year for fifteen years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I was doing it my radio show. And then
Speaker 1: I went to the boothnext store, holding the microphone for
Speaker 1: my radio show and the microphone for the PA for Scottsdale, Arizona.
Speaker 1: And there had to be hundreds of people there Alan
Speaker 1: to listen to what I had to say. And Bonds
Speaker 1: turns around when I say and now batting a man
Speaker 1: who homered for me? And it last Bonds turns around like,
Speaker 1: who the hell is this? But that's the only time
Speaker 1: I've done public address announcing. Do you want to introduce us?
Speaker 1: Could you do the starting five for the Dan Patrick Show? Sure? Sure,
Speaker 1: I can give that a shot. Okay, right, Well, let's see,
Speaker 1: let's start with the front row. This former mailman checks
Speaker 1: in at six foot, one hundred eighty three pounds. He
Speaker 1: chose to leave West Virginia University. Yeah right, Seaton, oh comer.
Speaker 1: And you know the fact that Allen has this information
Speaker 1: all on his own, that that's the professional Okay, all right, continuing,
Speaker 1: this snarky producer still lives in the distant past with
Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears. He spent so many years at
Speaker 1: Southern Illinois. He should have a doctorate. He doesn't. He
Speaker 1: barely graduated. You probably hate him because most everyone does.
Speaker 1: He's Paul nailed it. Yeah true truth in there, half
Speaker 1: right right here. He was number j V power forward
Speaker 1: at Dartmouth. He's a fine writer, but he's known much
Speaker 1: more for breaking his glasses on National TV. Say hello too,
Speaker 1: andry per Law. This purvy booker likes chain restaurants, chunky
Speaker 1: turtleneck oatmeal sweaters, and avoiding doing any manly chores their tasks.
Speaker 1: He's Todd for much about Todd. That's amazing, fantastic, and
Speaker 1: that is amazing. That is amazing. This talking hair do
Speaker 1: values his hair more than most of his relatives. He
Speaker 1: told me so. He's a fan of warm takes and
Speaker 1: good tequila, not in that order. He's damn pap twick.
Speaker 1: All right, Dahn, Look, you crushed it out, absolutely you
Speaker 1: you crushed it. Any great memorabiliap my head, I know
Speaker 1: that's what's amazing. Any memorabilia that you've anything cool that
Speaker 1: you've collected through the years with all these events you've done.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just super Bowl stuff. I mean one of
Speaker 1: the coolest things is I have one of the one
Speaker 1: of the pictures back here. But the NFL gives me
Speaker 1: a super Bowl watch every year, has a thank you
Speaker 1: for doing the game. So I have thirteen watches from
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls that I've done. Uh, basically everything that
Speaker 1: was given out in the first fourteen years of the
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies to the first five thousand fans. Fine fans,
Speaker 1: because I got one. But Alan is is this in
Speaker 1: lieu of payment? You do the Super Bowl public address
Speaker 1: announcing and you get a watch. Well, I get a
Speaker 1: few bucks too, and to watch Okay, Yeah, the best
Speaker 1: halftime show that you've introduced. Yeah, Prince was awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then after that, for me, it was just the
Speaker 1: first one. Uh. In Detroit was probably probably one of
Speaker 1: the greatest sentences I've ever said on a microphone. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, the Rolling Stone. Are you booked for next
Speaker 1: year in Los Angeles? Let's hope. So I think I
Speaker 1: have the job until I screw it up. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I I don't know if PAULI should I try to bigfoot.
Speaker 1: How about you could be the understudy You're gonna be
Speaker 1: in LA anyway, if Alan has a rough night out,
Speaker 1: we could take them out on the town and bang
Speaker 1: them up. Yeah, Dan, I think I think I announced
Speaker 1: you awarding the Vince Lombardi trophe. Was it in Detroit? Um,
Speaker 1: let's see, where was I? I know I was in
Speaker 1: Tampa for the Steelers. Okay, and I did that in Arizona. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did introduce me. So we have worked
Speaker 1: together Alan, absolutely, No, I know I appreciate that. Hey,
Speaker 1: thank you for being a great sport and uh we
Speaker 1: we'd love to have you back on again. We appreciate it. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's my pleasure. What a what a huge show for
Speaker 1: me to be a part of. Congrats on all your success, Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. Thank you. Alan. That's Alan Roach,
Speaker 1: the renowned PA announcer voice of twelve Super Bowl, six Olympics.
Speaker 1: But who's counting. I was in the arena that day
Speaker 1: with the t J o'shee with the game against the
Speaker 1: United States and Russia. When he was doing the public
Speaker 1: address announcing, I did not know them. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break. We'll get to Denny Hamlin coming up.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Allen had all that information on these dan ins,
Speaker 1: especially time. Unbelievable. Yeah, I know, coming up on eighteen
Speaker 1: after the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show. All

Speaker 1: here in a moment he's partnering with Michael Jordan, their
Speaker 1: NASCAR team. You know it's a bad year to be
Speaker 1: a college basketball Blue Blood program yesterday. The APE Poll
Speaker 1: was just the second in the last seventy years that
Speaker 1: didn't feature any of these teams Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: and North Carolina. The only other time was nineteen sixty one,
Speaker 1: and that's when the AP Poll had just ten teams
Speaker 1: in it. Other traditional powers currently unranked Louisville, Michigan State,
Speaker 1: Syracuse and Ucla. How incredible is that? Unexplainable? That just
Speaker 1: the fact that I watched Kentucky and I go, when
Speaker 1: is Kentucky's varsity coming out? And then I watched Duke
Speaker 1: the other night lose it home, and you just go,
Speaker 1: what is happening in this This isn't a slow start.
Speaker 1: This is just a bad team. Michigan State. We pencil
Speaker 1: in Michigan State in the sweet sixteen. It feels like
Speaker 1: every year Indiana, Kansas. Pretty crazy. And then you start
Speaker 1: watching college basketball and although I think Baylor's next three
Speaker 1: games have been postponed due to COVID, but Baylor and
Speaker 1: Gonzager are the two best teams you got. Chigan is
Speaker 1: very good as well, but it's it's pretty tough to
Speaker 1: figure out just how good somebody is right now. Yeah, mclovin. So,
Speaker 1: how do we fill out our brackets this year a
Speaker 1: normal circumstances, we're guessing now it's just gonna be impossible. Well,
Speaker 1: I think that you have you put even less thought
Speaker 1: into it this year because you have no other choice.
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know, well, just take this guy.
Speaker 1: I like their colors, I like their mascot. Here. That's
Speaker 1: usually who wins the office challenging bracket challenge. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: people go, I don't know anything about college basketball, they're
Speaker 1: usually at an advantage. Denny Hamlin going for a three
Speaker 1: p to Daytona Daytona five hundred coming up this weekend
Speaker 1: on Fox, and this would be his fourth Daytona five hundred,
Speaker 1: and of course I mentioned that he has partnered with
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. They've been good friends for quite some time.
Speaker 1: Denny Hamlin joins us. Now, wait, I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1: Don't look like you're you're happy. What kind of mood
Speaker 1: are you in today? Good? I mean, my day's just
Speaker 1: get and going so right. We got a clean flight here,
Speaker 1: like here in a race mode here or something. You
Speaker 1: seem kind of serious. What's what's going on? It's just
Speaker 1: right to get to the golf course. Wait, that's how
Speaker 1: you're preparing for the day town of five hundred playing golf? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Michael comes in today. Oh so you're gonna go play
Speaker 1: with Jordan. Yeah? Now how much do you play? Is
Speaker 1: it per hole or is it front nine, back nine? Overall? No,
Speaker 1: by the hole, gotta get more action. Okay, Now what
Speaker 1: kind of action are we talking about on each hole?
Speaker 1: Who designs? Uh? Well, you decide on first tea? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but is Jordan deciding how much you're playing? No? No,
Speaker 1: he just you know, whatever you want to play for,
Speaker 1: whatever makes you comfortable. You know, Tiger said to me
Speaker 1: one time, whatever makes you nervous is what I would
Speaker 1: play for, which I can't play that game with him? Right,
Speaker 1: So nothing makes him nervous. Immediately, I'm in a disadvantage.
Speaker 1: You could win the Daytona five hundred and still lose
Speaker 1: money because no, depending on how much you've been with
Speaker 1: Jordan you could give you. I don't sign over that check. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm good enough to where I never I never put
Speaker 1: in play something that you know I'm gonna get emotional
Speaker 1: if I lose. Are you allowed to talk smack to him? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: How does it work? I mean, I you know, he
Speaker 1: misses a putty should make, which doesn't happen often. His
Speaker 1: short game's just incredible. But for me, I just you know,
Speaker 1: you talk, you talk some smack talking about how bad
Speaker 1: that putty is or how bad that shot was. I
Speaker 1: like it. You were born in Tampa but raised in Virginia.
Speaker 1: Were you rooting for the Buccaneers? I was, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: that was the only kind of connection I had to
Speaker 1: either team, so certainly was rooting for the Bucks. There
Speaker 1: have you golf with Brady before? No, I have not um,
Speaker 1: which I mean when you watch the the match last year,
Speaker 1: it was like, boy, he's he's terrible and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, he makes it from one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty out or something. Oh it was great.
Speaker 1: That was one of those where he shut up Barkley, like,
Speaker 1: you know, suck on this, Charles. Yeah. Is Richard Petty
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady of Daytona? Oh? I mean statistically speaking, yes,
Speaker 1: because he's gone seven right, he does. And I mean
Speaker 1: you know what's difficult is, you know, back in Richard
Speaker 1: Petty's day is really there was five or six cars
Speaker 1: that were capable of winning the Daytona race. And you
Speaker 1: know now it's just you know, you've got thirty that
Speaker 1: are capable of winning, so it's just very, very difficult.
Speaker 1: Like the field's raw, sprung out, strung out. They didn't
Speaker 1: have the pack drafting like they do now where there's
Speaker 1: more wrecks, So not to say it was easier, but
Speaker 1: certainly he was one of the five or six so
Speaker 1: can win when they got to the big tracks. And
Speaker 1: it feels like if you're gonna win Daytona, avoiding those
Speaker 1: wrecks early and well even late too. But how how
Speaker 1: can you have a strategy to avoid a wreck other
Speaker 1: than be in first place and then you usually don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about that wreck. Well, I mean, statistically speaking,
Speaker 1: like position two point seven is the most likely to wreck,
Speaker 1: so the recks actually start in the front, so there's
Speaker 1: really no safe place that you can be unless you
Speaker 1: want to just be dead last and behind the pack totally.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I I've won this in different ways,
Speaker 1: either staying up front or I've been in the back,
Speaker 1: and then sometimes they've been in the middle and just
Speaker 1: somehow avoided them. So I mean, I think that certainly
Speaker 1: we've defied odds in the last few years I always
Speaker 1: say this speedway racing, where you have a pack, it
Speaker 1: is a skill game, but sometimes you get unlucky. You know,
Speaker 1: if you don't cause the wreck, you can get in it.
Speaker 1: You know, usually another sports from people you know your
Speaker 1: competition makes a mistake, you capitalize well. And this type
Speaker 1: of racing, your competition makes a mistake, you're liable to
Speaker 1: be in it. So it's a little different than that aspect.
Speaker 1: How much analytics do you guys use a lot? I
Speaker 1: mean I think that you know, my team in particular
Speaker 1: uses quite a quite a bit of analytics. We always
Speaker 1: you know, I always kind of know my percentages, what's
Speaker 1: the best place to be in in a certain time.
Speaker 1: But really I rely on my gut feeling. You can
Speaker 1: see and feel when the um the volume starts to
Speaker 1: get turned up inside the pack and people are starting
Speaker 1: to make moves that you know are risky, and really
Speaker 1: that intuition is kind of you know what I've relied
Speaker 1: on over the years. What would it mean to three people? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you can do something that no one
Speaker 1: else has done, I mean, it's it's going to be
Speaker 1: your biggest victory. And so certainly for me, I think
Speaker 1: that It would be the biggest win that myself and
Speaker 1: the FedEx scene ever had, is to win three in
Speaker 1: a row at what I deem one of the hardest
Speaker 1: races to win. James Dennis Alan Hamlin. Does anybody call
Speaker 1: you Dennis? No? I mean not really, you know, unless
Speaker 1: they want to throw out, you know, Dennis the menis
Speaker 1: or something like that. When I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: got a little bit of that, but it's still there,
Speaker 1: still bothers you a little bit. It might be a
Speaker 1: little touchy, you know what I was thinking. JD. Hamlin
Speaker 1: sounds like a NASCAR driver, you know. It's uh, it's interesting,
Speaker 1: you know, I never know why. I never knew why
Speaker 1: James wasn't just my name. Um, I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: my real name is, j D. I could have went
Speaker 1: with that, but you know, my mom always used to
Speaker 1: call me little Denny. My dad was Dennis, and you
Speaker 1: know he was big Denny and I was little Denny.
Speaker 1: And that's just kind of how I always understood and
Speaker 1: answered is under denning. We can change it right now
Speaker 1: if you want to. Well, I mean you probably want
Speaker 1: to go with dentist though, right just kind of now,
Speaker 1: I like JD. No, No, no, no, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to do the dentist the minute, and I'm not Jordan here.
Speaker 1: We're not trash talking. I'm on your side. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking like JD. Ladies and gentlemen, the number
Speaker 1: eleven car JD. Hamlin. I like that as I could
Speaker 1: go with that. All right, it's official, Paulie. Would you
Speaker 1: let NASCAR know that? Don't call him Dennis calling j D.
Speaker 1: Hamlin left FedEx No as well. All right, that's good.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. How often do you hear Hey Hamlin?
Speaker 1: Nice pjs? A lot, a lot? I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought I think I saw, you know, from the analytics.
Speaker 1: Actually from that is that it's been played now over
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand Wait wait wait, you have analytics on
Speaker 1: the commercial you're in. Yeah, you know, you know there
Speaker 1: was an article put out, you know, one that specializes
Speaker 1: in commercials and airplay and investments and all that. It
Speaker 1: was like thirty five thousand times. I mean it's on
Speaker 1: every channel. Yeah, it's definitely been the most played commercial
Speaker 1: over the last three months, no question. How long did
Speaker 1: it take you to shoot that? Just a day? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, actually the pj's line to be honest with
Speaker 1: you was an alternate line that was, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of thrown in right at the very end. I forget
Speaker 1: what the primary line was with her, but I think
Speaker 1: she mentioned something about you know, you're slow or something
Speaker 1: like that. But then someone at the very I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: can we get a Pj's line? Can we get one
Speaker 1: where you know, she says nice pj's And then you
Speaker 1: kind of react to that like uh sure, And turns
Speaker 1: out that you know, they knew what they were doing.
Speaker 1: But I loved your reaction. You know, you didn't really
Speaker 1: have any lines. It's basically p Yeah. I mean it
Speaker 1: was pretty natural because they didn't tell me what the line,
Speaker 1: you know, they just said, you know, you had somebody
Speaker 1: in the background saying, you know, hey, you're low, and
Speaker 1: I'd react or hey, and then they were like, hey,
Speaker 1: nice PJS. PJ. Hey you want to give a plug
Speaker 1: for the team that you call own with Jordan here
Speaker 1: before we let you go. Yeah, I mean this is
Speaker 1: a big year for us, obviously to bring Jordan into NASCAR.
Speaker 1: He's obviously been a huge fan of it for all
Speaker 1: of his life. You know, his dad used to take
Speaker 1: him to NASCAR races. I didn't know that story until
Speaker 1: you know we are friendship group. But yeah, fielding a
Speaker 1: car for Bubba Wallas is here the only African American
Speaker 1: driver and he qualified fourth actually yesterday for the five hundred.
Speaker 1: So really looking forward to, you know, now owning a
Speaker 1: team as well as competing, which will be interesting. No
Speaker 1: one's done that since Dale Earnhardt twenty some years ago,
Speaker 1: so it's going to be interesting dynamic. But you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully I'm a great asset to that team. And you know,
Speaker 1: I worked for Joe Gibbs Racing, one of the best organizations,
Speaker 1: and so I can bring information over there to help
Speaker 1: us get better. So it's a big year for us
Speaker 1: in the sport itself. It's great to talk to you,
Speaker 1: have fun and don't lose too much to Jordan here.
Speaker 1: All right, it sounds good. Thank you. Denny Hamlin. Always
Speaker 1: good to catch up with him. Yeah, you that's commercials
Speaker 1: played a lot, but I loved his line where he's
Speaker 1: going PJ. And then you realize that that wasn't even
Speaker 1: supposed to be the original script there that they always
Speaker 1: do these throwaway lines. Whenever you're you're doing one of
Speaker 1: those things, they'll go, hey, why don't you try it
Speaker 1: this way? And then I always know that those are
Speaker 1: the ones they use, like they trick you. They'll go,
Speaker 1: h yeah, you read your line this way, and why
Speaker 1: don't you just try it this way? And then next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, you go yeah that I don't know, I
Speaker 1: felt really awkward. No, No, we like that one. Yeah. Pulling.
Speaker 1: I think we had Will Ferrell on about five years
Speaker 1: ago and he's talking about wedding crashers. He played Chaz,
Speaker 1: the wedding crasher who lives at home with his mom.
Speaker 1: I think Owen Wilson comes to Bisom. Remember he's talking
Speaker 1: him and he yells back, mo the melow that was
Speaker 1: not in the script. He just started riffing. I guess
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell he told us that that. He just started
Speaker 1: going MO the meat loaf over and over and that's
Speaker 1: what makes that scene just hysterical. What do you why'd
Speaker 1: you give me Todd mcshay's mock draft here with twenty
Speaker 1: minutes ago in the show, because it's got quarterbacks of
Speaker 1: wide receivers everywhere. Yeah, but that's how you promote a
Speaker 1: mock draft, that's how you get people to click on it,
Speaker 1: you know, putting a guard at number three, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's not gonna do it. Uh So Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: and then uh Trey Lance in there justin fields in there,
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson in there. They got Zach Wilson is number
Speaker 1: two going to the Jets. Um all right. Then they
Speaker 1: got receiver Jamar Chase six, DeVante Smith seven, and uh
Speaker 1: Jael and Wattle eight. And I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is gonna be the way it plays out. But when
Speaker 1: I said to you guys, after I spoke to a source,
Speaker 1: this is after the National title game, and I reached
Speaker 1: out to a doors and I said, better wide receiver
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase of l s who sat out this entire season,
Speaker 1: or Davante Smith. And he said Jamar Chase. And I go, God,
Speaker 1: he better be really good. He said, no, Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: is a better receiver. He goes. I felt that the
Speaker 1: previous year, and I certainly feel this year. I said,
Speaker 1: but you haven't seen Jamar Chase. He goes. I still
Speaker 1: like Jamar Chase. I think he'll go higher in the
Speaker 1: draft now, whether that's true or not, because if the
Speaker 1: Dolphins decide to stay at three and they want to
Speaker 1: take Davanta Smith and pair him up with a Tua then.
Speaker 1: But this is a guy who had twenty touchdowns at
Speaker 1: almost eighteen hundred yards in twenty nineteen. But you know
Speaker 1: the guy who it feels like he's cooled off a
Speaker 1: little bit. Justin Fields of Ohio State just feels like
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson getting a lot of love, Trey Lance North
Speaker 1: Dako to State getting a little more in love. And
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, what did Justin Fields do that would have
Speaker 1: him drop a little bit, or that these guys would
Speaker 1: move above him. But Justin Field, look that that shot
Speaker 1: he took in the Clemson game, those passes he had
Speaker 1: in the Clemson game, he didn't nothing to reduce his
Speaker 1: stock in my opinion. Now, maybe you look at the
Speaker 1: next game and you go, well, well, I don't know
Speaker 1: how healthy he was. But I don't know if these
Speaker 1: mock drafts are right. I mean they're fun. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I figured it. You'd have at least four
Speaker 1: you could have the first four picks. If there's a trade,
Speaker 1: there'd be quarterbacks. Mac Jones of Alabama, he's in the
Speaker 1: mock draft, maybe going to the Chicago Bears. Who knows.
Speaker 1: You know, this is it's fun to read, but I've
Speaker 1: got you know, if jobs depended on this with you
Speaker 1: have to get a certain number or you can't put
Speaker 1: out a mock draft next year. How about that you
Speaker 1: get relegated with the NFL insider, the draft expert gets relegated.
Speaker 1: Then you just you know, you put somebody else, You
Speaker 1: promote somebody else here. Yeah, McLevin, what do you do
Speaker 1: with college numbers? I look at justin fields. He had
Speaker 1: a bad year this year, but the year before forty
Speaker 1: one touchdowns and three picks. It'll go back to what
Speaker 1: I've been told, and that is what kind of throws
Speaker 1: is he making? How is he under pressure? How is
Speaker 1: he after he throws an interception? Can he throw a
Speaker 1: receiver open? Is one of the more important things that
Speaker 1: I was told because in the pros you throw a
Speaker 1: receiver open. In college, your receivers are usually open. A
Speaker 1: lot of these, you know, big offenses, spread offenses. How
Speaker 1: many times do you watch Alabama play this year and
Speaker 1: you go, guy's wide open? Now we would see this, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Baker Mayfield or Kyler Murray. You can go
Speaker 1: down the list of all these spread offenses, big time
Speaker 1: scoring offenses, and they were able to have a receiver
Speaker 1: open in the pros under pressure, you got to throw
Speaker 1: somebody open. But also they want to know how you do,
Speaker 1: and they want to know your medicals, and they want
Speaker 1: to know how you do in front of the big board.
Speaker 1: And that's where they ask you to diagram a play.
Speaker 1: That's really really important to combine the two most important things.
Speaker 1: We want to know how healthy you are, and we
Speaker 1: also want to know what you do when you stand
Speaker 1: up in front of a big board. We ask you
Speaker 1: to diagram plays or what do you see on this play?
Speaker 1: Or what would you do on this play? Those things
Speaker 1: are really really important. Yeah, pulling it's gonna sound weird,
Speaker 1: but I don't think NFL they don't care how well
Speaker 1: you play in college, like win and lose, Like Mitch
Speaker 1: Trubisky was not a great college quarterback winning and losing.
Speaker 1: You know, Deshaun Watson should have been the number one
Speaker 1: pick if it's based off who feels like a winner.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't. He wasn't. You know, it's very weird,
Speaker 1: Like Kyle Wilson did not look that great against Coastal Carolina.
Speaker 1: Zach Wells, I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem like They
Speaker 1: care about how you perform, like if your deam wins
Speaker 1: and losing. And I watched that game. I watched the
Speaker 1: whole game with Coastal Carolina and he was is not good.
Speaker 1: He was not comfortable. They put pressure on him. And
Speaker 1: that's where I kind of came away where I've watched
Speaker 1: him and he was good in the Bowl game. He's
Speaker 1: got a you know, a lot of talent, confident, he's athletic.
Speaker 1: There's a and this is gonna sound zacriligious, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to say it just to give you an idea.
Speaker 1: You see traits of Aaron Rodgers there. There's similarities there
Speaker 1: with the talent that he has arm strength and he's athletic.
Speaker 1: You know, that's high praise for him. But you know,
Speaker 1: we always love comps where you go, well, who's he
Speaker 1: like are and he's not physically imposing. But that game
Speaker 1: against Coastal Carolina, I came away going, oh, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know a little surprised by the way. You've got
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's pro day coming up tomorrow and I think
Speaker 1: the Mothership's gonna errant live. Actually I'm not. I I
Speaker 1: saw a story that they're just doing a special on
Speaker 1: his Pro day to preview the pro actually comes up
Speaker 1: a week or two, okay, because I saw the same thing. Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Reece Davis is hosting Trevor Lawrence Pro Day that I
Speaker 1: looked into it and it's like it's just to talk
Speaker 1: about his pro day. But I could be wrong. Well,
Speaker 1: why would you have a pro day unless you're going
Speaker 1: to be able to Now what happens sometimes is you're
Speaker 1: able to get some of your players on your team
Speaker 1: and then they're able to run pass patterns. You're able
Speaker 1: to have a running back there, so you get some
Speaker 1: exposure for the program. But didn't Trevor Lawrence just have
Speaker 1: surgery on his left shoulder? McLevin, Yeah, well so a
Speaker 1: pre Yeah, so I'm looking at the Reese Davis will
Speaker 1: host an hour long special from Bristol with David Pollackton Hasselbeck.
Speaker 1: Additional Pro Day coverage plans, including details surrounding Clempson's on Thursday,
Speaker 1: March eleventh. We'll be announced in the coming weeks. It's
Speaker 1: not even a pro day. Oh god, it's a pre
Speaker 1: pro day special. What are we doing? Are they going
Speaker 1: to give him a pro week? Are we going to
Speaker 1: miss the combine? As like a TV content thing or
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I mean it's great in the afternoon. You know,
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen does a great job in hosting it, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun here. Justin fields last season, first three games,
Speaker 1: he completed eighty six percent of his passes eleven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: now interceptions. The last five sixty percent completion percentage eleven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: six interceptions. Take a break, Close Up Shop back after

Speaker 1: love steamy, So where that comes to mind? Um, Russ
Speaker 1: has his eyes closed and he and Ciara are facing
Speaker 1: each other, so I don't know. And then I think
Speaker 1: it just says lovers on there on the cover. Um,
Speaker 1: I think he says, I loved I'd love some offensive
Speaker 1: line help, is what he says. No, Todd, you're not
Speaker 1: going to do anymore sports related Valentine's Day name. No,

Speaker 1: his list as well on the newsletter. What was the
Speaker 1: other one that he had held up? Hold up? His
Speaker 1: are pretty good? Don't don't don't do that. Oh, he
Speaker 1: gets so territorial with this. I gave you, like if
Speaker 1: you have one that really kills and Todd goes, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, where I get If someone says something
Speaker 1: and you guys can giggle at it, but if I
Speaker 1: know if I said it, there would be like what
Speaker 1: how could you say? No? I didn't say that was good?
Speaker 1: I know, but in general, you you give a little
Speaker 1: more rope to this. You know what it is? Ryan
Speaker 1: has an Australian accent, and I think it sounds better.
Speaker 1: I think it's like the English accent. You think someone
Speaker 1: a better actor, Yes, speak that guy's a great actor. Actor.
Speaker 1: Saw this with Jason luckinfora He argues the Raiders are
Speaker 1: a good fit for Russell Wilson. Well, okay, hold on here,
Speaker 1: I mean it's an upgrade. This isn't happening. What I
Speaker 1: don't understand Russell Wilson is not being traded this year.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that. No, there's no breaking news. But
Speaker 1: um so I'm trying to think why he feels this way?
Speaker 1: Does he talk about all the money and the dead
Speaker 1: cap hit here? He said like, if they can figure
Speaker 1: out a way to get to Vegas, they can figure
Speaker 1: out a way to get Russell Wilson. I don't think
Speaker 1: it works that way. I could get illegal money to
Speaker 1: help me with the raiders in Vegas. I can't do
Speaker 1: that with his salary cap in the NFL. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: now Wilson in Vegas. That could be danger arusts thank you, Todd.
