Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our one on this Wednesday, down a Danette, And
that means Marvin has to do double duty in the
front row as Paulie is out. But Fritzy's here the
minister of humor and Seaton as well yours truly in
the back room. Guys, well, I don't know if you
can say we have a series, but at least we
have a little more of a series after last night.
(00:26):
Not surprised the Yankees won, but it's one of those
where they keep piling up runs and I go, I
don't know if this is going to translate into tonight.
You know when you all of a sudden have this
outburst and you go, boy, that's going to help them,
that's going to propel them. Maybe they figured something out.
I thought it was kind of interesting. I was keeping
an eye on Aaron Judge. Now he had a good
(00:47):
eye at the plate. He had an RBI single, but
he got on base four times and they got some
help from somebody aside from the Big Three. Anthony Volpi
hitting the Grand Slam there. That's what you need in
the World Series. You need to have those playoff heroes
where you got the guys who are getting paid the
big bucks. But then sometimes the pitcher will relax and
(01:09):
maybe he'll look at somebody differently than he would Aaron
Judge or Freddie Freeman. By the way, Freddie Freeman unbelievable.
I mean, right now he's the runaway leader for MVP,
and rightfully so. It's not even close. But Anthony Volpi
is second on the DraftKings MVP list.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
After last night.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Eight seven to seven three DP Show email address Dpat
Danpatrick dot com Twitter handle, a DP show pull question
play the day, stat of the Day, All of that
coming up. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Good morning,
if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, or if
you're listening on our great radio affiliates around the country.
John Smoltz on the call last night. Johnny will join
(01:54):
his next hour to discuss everything that happened, including the
fan involvement with Mookie Bets crazy crazy moment. Now we've
seen interaction before, we've seen fans go on the field.
That one I didn't understand. It's not like you were
trying to take away a home run ball, or you
(02:14):
were going to you know, prevent somebody from a you know,
catching a double off the wall.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Whatever it was. It was a foul ball and you're
trying to pry it out of Mookie Bets's glove and
then the other guy is accomplice will grab his hand.
And from what I'm told, they got kicked out last night.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So they drove in from Connecticut and then you get
there and then you get kicked out in the first inning.
And what I'm told is that doesn't mean they can't
go tonight, which shocks me. There's one more game left
at Yankee Stadium. You just say, and you can't come
back for Game five either. Because they were getting a
(02:54):
hero's welcome as they're being escorted out. You had grown
men who were you know, they were hugging them. I'm like,
what did they do? Just act like idiots? And then
you're like, hey, you know that's our territory. We're gonna
we're gonna defend our territory. I didn't know this was
a turf war, yes, Marvin. And what do you think
(03:16):
that car rider trained ride was like? Because they spent
good money on those seats. First first baseline of the
World Series.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, like, what was that? What was that convo? Like afterwards?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I have no idea, but imagine you're getting ready and
you're gonna drive from Connecticut to the Bronx. You're gonna
go to the game. We got great seats. We're right there. Hey,
this ball's coming over. We're got to defend our turf here.
We're not gonna be like Bartman. We're gonna go in
there and pry the ball. What are you getting if
you get the ball out of his glove and then
(03:47):
the other guy's grabbing Mookie's hand his arm, What are
you idiots doing?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, see they're getting active, playing their part. Yeah, yeah,
not on our turf. We're going to defend it.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You cross this line, right y, I'm taking that glove.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
They were trying to defend it too. Yes, no, no
gloves right here. That's fair game.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
This is how it sounded last night on Fox.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Why the right buy Torres bets in the corner?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Does he have room fights.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
With a fan and they're gonna say that it's out
and fan interference? And yeah, Bett says that ball in
his glove and this fan literally tries to take his
Glove Off Prize, the ball out of.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
There a for effort. Well, he won't be watching the
game much longer.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's John Smoltz on the call, and Johnny w Join

(05:06):
all right Chris Simms from Pro Football Talk, He will
join us and talk to him about a few things.
The Texans are without Stefan Diggs. Do they do anything
prior to the trade deadline?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know, if I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Houston, I asked the Jets if Davante Adams is available.
I mean, the Jets aren't going anywhere Houston.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Houston says, hey, we're fine, but okay, I don't think
you can ever have too many weapons. But I'd be
curious if you could just say, Hey, you know, we're
going to play one another after the game. Could we
just have Davante stay with us? And then accompany us
to Houston. But that'll be the Thursday night game. You
got college football coming up tonight, you have the NBA games,
(05:51):
you got the Lakers and the Cavs. This will be
Browny's probably his last game before he goes to the
G League. I understand why Lebron wanted to take him
back home, and he'll get an opportunity to play a
little bit tonight, I'm sure, and then he'll play in
the G League. Then the question is on what occasion
do you bring him up? And I don't know if
(06:12):
I would leave him down there as long as you can,
and if Lebron wants to bring him up for the
Christmas Day game, that's probably what's going to happen, all right, Seaton,
whole question first hour is going.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
To be the Yankee fans attempting to rip off Mookie
bets glove. Yeah, it was hilarious or humiliating, it was
those are the only options.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yes, well it wasn't hilarious.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was like in the face that one guy had,
like he was working really hard to get that ball
out of Mooki's.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Glove, Like I'm gouldn't get this ball out of here,
and I'm going, oh my god. Okay, here's another option. Okay,
the Yankee fans attempting.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
To rip off Mookie Bets the glove. They were Hero
or a zero. That might be the start of a
new segment, by the way.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Hero zero or zero.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Yeah, high school hero, real life zero, Hero zero. That's
a classic. Yeah, we might be that might be the start.
I can't debut a new segment without without Paul. No, no,
he'd be very upset.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
At me right now. But Hero or zero might be
a new one, yeah, coming up. They were definitely zeros.
Oh man, I feel like their heroes. Why are you
apologizing for these Yankee fans?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I'm not apologizing for them. I just think it's hilarious.
Mookie Betts was not amused. John Smoltz is not amused either,
But uh no, I thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I can tell. Do we have any other pole questions?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Should the Yankees start intentionally walking Freddy Freeman, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Hell yes, you know who's homering tonight? Aaron Judge, Yes, yeah,
Aaron Judge will homer tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I had the Yankees winning two games, and so they
win tonight and you send it back to La.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You really can't tell, though right now, if the Yankees
just found their stride or if that's all they had
in the tank last night. I know, I really don't
know if it's going to be one of those things where, man,
they put up a lot of runs and then well
it's really you know, they got it was really.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
A sweep, was really gentlemen, sweet So Freddie Freeman Homer's again.
He's the first player in baseball history to homer in
the first four games of a World Series, and he's homered.
If you go back to when he was with the
Braves six consecutive World Series games, that's also a Major
League record. He's got ten RBIs in the first four games,
and that ties him third most ever in World Series
(08:44):
history through four games. You had nineteen sixty where Mickey
Mantle and Bobby Richardson both had more. But that was
one of those weird World Series because I think every
Yankee win was they scored double figures against the Pirates,
and then the Pirates won all of their games like
my one run, and then you had Bill Mazerowski with
the walk off home run.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, eight seven, seven to three.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
DP show operator Tyler is sitting by and we'll settle
on our poll question once again. We will talk to
John Smoltz. Chris Simms will stop by as well. Anthony
Richardson got benched. Now they said that this isn't the Hey,
I got tired excuse as to why they set him down.
(09:29):
I'm going to say something that is going to sound strange,
but I do believe it, and that is Anthony Richardson's
comp so far his career in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Is Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
If you look at Josh Allen's numbers when he first started,
same amount of games, stats are very similar. I had
some real doubts about Josh playing the position, had a
lot of talent, he just at times didn't feel like
he knew the nuances of playing quarterback. Now it was
going to take him time coming from Wyoming going in
(10:06):
high expectations. Now he's the leading candidate for MVP. I'm
not comparing them as far as their personality. I'm just
looking at the results of Anthony Richardson and Josh Allen,
and both had problems. Both have had problems. Josh has graduated. Obviously,
Anthony Richardson has to decide if he wants to be
(10:27):
a professional quarterback. Sometimes you have all this talent and
then you get to the league where everybody else has
talent as well. You could get away with a lot
of these things. He was one of those guys at
Florida where you watched and you went, there'd be a
highlight and you go, oh my god, I'm ever seeing
him with like a I don't know eighty yard run and.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I go, that's a quarterback. And then you wouldn't see
anything else.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
There wouldn't be any other highlights, and I kept thinking, Okay,
is this guy any good? You go to the combine
and all of a sudden, people love to fall in
love with somebody who's just running in their shorts. Man,
look at him. Okay, I want to see what he
does on the football field. I want to see can
(11:13):
he run a team? Does he make decisions? All of
those things? And he relies on his athleticism too much
and he gets hurt, gets banged up. He makes, you know,
bad decisions. That's why he should be benched. Not that
hey I'm tired after that run. It's he was like
two for sixteen, and I said, take him out of
(11:34):
the game. I understand the way quarterbacks are now they're
ready to go, or a lot of them are like
c J.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Now, all of a sudden, you look at Jayden Daniels,
Caleb Williams, you know, the quarterbacks. The rookie quarterbacks who
have played this year have played pretty well. Surprisingly. I mean,
Drake May has a terrible team around him, but he
has shown signs that he can be a franchise quarterback,
has shown signs. And then you have Jayden Daniels, who
(12:04):
is an MVP candidate, and then Caleb Williams is you know,
still figuring out, but I expect him to be a
really good quarterback. But you're watching Anthony Richardson and it's
just not there. And that team can win that division
or at least be in the hunt for a playoffs
spot there, but not with him. Now Joe Flacco, once again,
(12:26):
you can't say his name without his age. So thirty
nine year old Joe Flacco is going to get the
call for the Colts in the foreseeable future, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Yeah, you don't want Anthony Richardson to turn into JaMarcus
Russell where ten years later everyone talks about that one
time where they were wild by him, but he got
tired and he got out like that's such a bad
look for him.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
But Michael Parson said, lie.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yes, lie, yes, that's what I said.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Hey, something's wrong with the headset or my chin strap
or contact lens. You don't wear contact lenses?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh I do?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Now, Like whatever it is, you can't say, man, I
got tired. You're twenty three years of age. You're an
incredible athlete. Yeah, I got tired out there. But if
I look at the Colts, you had Andrew Luck's retirement
in twenty nineteen. Then they kind of cycled through some
(13:21):
recyclable quarterbacks Matt Ryan, Carson, Wentz, Philip Rivers, and then
Jim Irsay decides to fire Frank Reich and then brings
in Jeff Saturday. Then you have Chris Ballard who was
hired in twenty seventeen. He took the swing on Anthony Richardson.
(13:46):
Let's see anything else that they've done. Yeah, I mean,
this is what's happened with them. They do have some
talent there, but you can't get consistent play out of
your quarterback. It's just it's not going to work. And
you know, here's Joe Flacco again, and Joe Flacco knows
what he can and can't do. Maybe that's part of
I go back to Josh Allen. What you can and
(14:07):
can't do, or what you should or shouldn't do. That's
what Anthony Richardson has to figure out. And you got
to put in the time because you have the talent.
It's like Kyler Murray, he had so he had more
talent than anybody was when he was in high school,
more talent than anybody was when he was in college.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And now you get to the pros.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Now is when you have to put in the time.
And these guys aren't used to doing that. The guy
who studies has to study, grinds, puts in the extra effort.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
That's the guy that has a chance.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
The guy who goes, eh, I just roll out of
bed and I can play quarterback.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It doesn't work that way, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Obviously, we'll get to your phone calls coming up at
eight seven seven three. DP show email address DPA dan

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Lived settle on our poll question here Seaton, at least
for the first hour of the program.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Uh yeah, I'm gonna throw up a couple of them here.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I'm gonna throw up the hero or zero questions, or
the Yankee fans attempting can rip off Mookie Betts's glove
they were heroes or zeros. I have sort of a
random one here. If you were DeVante Adams, would you
request another trade?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I would? I sure would.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
There's a bunch of teams right now that could really
use a wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I would have my hand raised. I'm available.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Aren't the Jets playing the Texans tomorrow night? Don't you
just say, like, if you want to say, hey, Davante,
go out there and put on a show for the
Texans and we'll see what we can.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Get for you.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
If I was Davante, I would be talking how much
I love the Bay Area as a matter of fact.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Oh, and you'd go to San Francisco. It would be like,
you know, I've always loved Francisco. Okay, yes, do.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
Players ever care about to becoming the Kyrie Irving for
lack of a better analogy, to like bouncing around from
team to team and James Harden like just every year
or two, you just got to get out. I gotta
be another team. I gotta find happiness somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You know, it's up to the individual. You know, some
like to be I'll take less. I want to stay here,
or you know, I like this coach or whatever, like
this city. But I don't think it matters as much
as it used to.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Becomes part of your to me, your reputation, your legacy.
Isn't this the guy that played for nine different teams
because he just couldn't find happiness or get along with him?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Do you think that when I say James Harden, you're
gonna go a guy he played like nine for nine teams.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
It's one of my first thoughts.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
It shouldn't be. It's a great player, but he's a
first ballance Hall of Famer.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Yeah, but still need to keep bouncing around looking for
that special place in that ring that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Well, yeah, that's not Russell Westbrook, same way, first ballant
hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
He's bounced around, Yes, martmon.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Man, we got a generation of Hall of Fame men. Yeah,
Like and I know Journeyman has a negative connotation, but
it's guys that have played for five, six, seven teams
but their first ballot Hall of Famers. Yeah, you got
you know, Kyrie KD Harden, Westbrook, four or five teams.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
And there's no guarantee that they're not going to have
another stop in their careers like Westbrook. To me, I
never would have brought him in with Denver, but you know,
I think they were trying to get some kind of
boost there and he's just not a good enough player
to rely on him.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, that's what I always think of when Jim Harbaugh
comes up. I'm like, man, good coach, but guy bounced
around everywhere. I mean, is he a college coach? Is
hefel coach? He can't even tell which one he really
wants to coach in because he bounces back and.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Forth between the two of them.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
ESPN caught up with the two fans at Yankee Stadium
and one of the guys said, we always joke about
the ball in our area. We're not going to go
out of our way to attack. If it's in our area,
we're going to d up. Let's go, someone defends, someone
(18:11):
knocks the ball, we talk about it. We're willing to
do this, man, you guys are true heroes.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
They sound like they're going into war ring of honor. Man,
put them back in the monument.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
They had a better game plan than the Bears. But
was that these guys had a better game plan what
the Bears had on the hail marriage strategized and figured
out evans what we're going to do in the situation.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
One of the guys said, I know when I'm in
the wrong, and as soon as I did it, I
was like, boys, I'm out of here. I patrol that wall.
And they know that game five Wednesday night. And apparently
these guys are season ticket holders and they were told
(18:54):
they would be allowed to attend the game tonight.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
That's really smart. Good job Yankees. Yeah, come on back in.
Somebody comes over in your area. You got to defend it.
They're going to get a standing ovation they walk in,
people hugging them asking for pictures. Probably yes, Tom, if
they've already told them that.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
I know people have to make plans or whatever, but
make them sweat it out a little bit in the
eleventh hour. As long as they have a time, you
don't let them in. You definitely shouldn't let him in,
But plan b has to be. Don't tell them right away.
Yeah you'll you'll come back tomorrow, but you have to
leave now.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
All right, we'll get phone calls coming up.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
It's funny that like those dudes probably already just signed
a deal for like a podcast and a gambling site
where they're like.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Ah, yeah, let's go, we're ready. Yeah we're the guys.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Yeah, Yankees front row guys, podcasts, Yeah, we're those guys. Anyway,
use those guys that this sportsbook get fifteen percent off.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Once again, we always joke about the ball in our area.
We're not going to go out of our way to attack.
Oh really, if it's in our area, we're going to
d up. Someone defends, someone knocks the ball, we talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
We're willing to do this. Those are true heroes. Incredible, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
If the Yankees come back and win the World Series,
if you're the Yankees, do you invite those guys to
the parade?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Like, put them on the float.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
They didn't help you win?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
To you, to you dp heart's on fire.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Come on, It's not like Jeffrey Mayer where there was
fan interference and then they gave a home run to Jeter.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I mean that helped the Yankees. This is a foul ball.
They were trying to get the ball, the out was called.
They didn't do anything other than they may have set
the tone for the night.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, they set the tone. And then Freddie Freeman hits
a home run and do anything never say die. Yeah,
you remember those guys, you know, twenty years from now,
you remember those two guys who defended our turf.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
There, they're going to get a pluck out there. Yes see.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
It is kind of fun though that after I don't know,
like fifteen years of completely forgetting about them, Yankees fans
doing their best to remind everybody like, no, no, no, no,
we've been here a long time and we're actually massive
a holes too.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I know that Boston's getting a lot of credit. I
know that Phillies getting a lot of credit. Okay, we're
the ogz here. Okay, we've been doing this crap for
a hell of a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, we just haven't got to the World Series stage
very long time.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We haven't been on this stage in a while. But
don't forget that. Actually we're all you know, Yeah we're
jerks too. Yeah, we're jerks too.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Uh, Tony and Missouri. Tony leads us off.
Speaker 10 (21:40):
Hey Tony, Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. Five
Grandma Stockey two sixty. My topic is next week in Missouri,
we have a ballot initiative to allow online gambling betting.
It's endorsed by the Chiefs, Cardinals, Broils, and Blue. Then
I tie this back to a Miszoo game two weeks ago.
(22:03):
Our quarterback gets hurt in the first quarter. He's taken
across the street to get an MRI. But during that time,
when the MRI is negative, the Boosters get a text
message that he's going to come back in and play
the second half. Missouri comes back from eleven down the
second half and wins the ball game.
Speaker 11 (22:22):
I'm just curious, if.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
You dig down deep, where's the fine line insider trading
online gambling? And it can not only be sent to
the Boosters, but it could have been from somebody else
could have sent it this to It was around the
waiting room. So I'm just I'm curious on that topic.
I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
All Righty, Thank you, Tony. It's all gray area. It's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I know that we look at it and probably say
it's harmless. This is why the NFL wants to make
sure that they are the ones who are the teams
announce injuries so somebody doesn't find out, an insider finds out.
I mean, if I was his sports book and I
could hire Jay Glazer, let's say you just say, I'll
(23:04):
give you ten million dollars, give us information, find out information,
or chefty. You know, I'm just worry. And look, I
know we have a partnership with DraftKings, and I've said,
do it at your own risk. Always gamble enough. If
it's going to Vegas, going to Broadway, you're going to
(23:25):
have fun, but you know what your limits are. People
go to Vegas and they say, I have two thousand
dollars to lose. I mean, it's a great business proposition
for Vegas. You're already going knowing you're going to lose.
Now you might win. It's all temporary. Nobody beats the books,
no one. I don't care how good you are. I
don't care how good somebody says they are. You'll never
(23:46):
ever beat the books temporarily. But can you stop? And
most people don't stop. And I do think we have
issues with gambling. We're going to have issues with gambling.
We're going to have, you know, the addiction part of this.
And you know, look, we run those where they speed
up somebody's voice where you need help call one eight hope, Like, Okay,
(24:11):
I guess legally.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You have to do that, but does that really matter?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You know, It's like on the side of the cigarettes,
where you know, a surgeon general says, I don't see
anybody picking up that, you know, a thing of heaters
and going, you know what, let me check the fine
print here. So yeah, I do worry about it. I
worry about, you know, the amount of money, and this
is billions and billions and billions of dollars. The leagues
(24:37):
are all involved. ESPN has their own sports book. Went
from nobody wanted this to everybody wants this, and it's
too much of a good thing. And I do think
that there will be games that are compromised, players that
are compromised. And I do think that we have a
real pending issue with gambling gambling addiction because people don't
(25:00):
know until you have to go to your bookie and
say here, which I had to do. That's the cold
reality when you go Tuesday morning to your booking and
you go here, and I know I'm sounding like they
get off my lawn. I'm just I've been through it.
I understood it. I was addicted to it, and thankfully
(25:23):
I stopped. I had to stop cold Turkey, and I
have been tempted so many times to gamble again, but
I know what the end result is going to be.
I never enjoyed the winning. The losing crushed me. But
if you think you're, you know, immune to this, you're not.
(25:44):
I don't care how casual you can be. The guy
who has to have money on a game just to
watch it. I never had that thought, Gosh, I have
no interest in this game.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Oh let me put some money on it. Now you
have that, you have fantasy.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
See there's so many things that are tantalizing here, and
that is it's fun, it's exciting, but it's also can
be extremely damaging. So do it, but understand you will
never ever beat the books, because.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
If you could.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I got so good at one point that my bookie
manipulated his lines according to what I was betting. He
would jacket a half or lower to depending on what
I because I would say, hey, what do you got
on the Jets Bengals game? And my bookie would say,
who do you like? I said, you know, I like
(26:43):
the Bengals. Yeah, given three and a half and I
knew it was three, so he jacked it up a
half because I was winning. It's it's not the odds
aren't in your favor. Have fun with it, but remember
you're having fun with it, you're not.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Going to make a living. There you go, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
You're saying that players, and you know how it infiltrates
what's going on in the field. And think about, you know, families.
If you can't get a handle on you talking about
college funds and people not making rent on a more
extreme level, and you're ruining relationships.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
See, I'll bet you that you gamble again sometime and
you see what you did? See what you did? How
about this, let's make a bet. I see what you're doing.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Yeah, over under me twenty.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
The Jets DeVante Adams last team. I bet you bet
they're not.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm not betting. I don't I don't gamble. I don't gamble.
I gambled right in front of me.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
You know what, You bet on yourself once seventeen years ago, Dan,
And how did that work out?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Bet out himself? Yeah, that's right, betout himself. Yeah, yeah,
Luke and Charlotte, Hi, Luke, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (27:59):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. The watching the
World Series yesterday, and you know, I know it's it
was the bullpen game anyways for the Dodgers, but that
that bullpen game didn't look equal to you know, the
Padres or the Mets bullpen games.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
You know, they didn't bring in copex, they didn't bring
in grad or all. You know, For as much as
Dave Roberts was saying, don't let him up for air,
I think he kind of got the sense that he didn't.
He didn't want to risk it all on all his
big arms.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, you might be right on that.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It might be one of those you know what, maybe
we can somehow win this game, sweep the Yankees. But
if not, let's let's not compromise ourselves in that game,
and then in future games we might you know, it
might be a one off. That was a bullpen game
for the Dodgers. The Yankees, I think used more pitchers
(28:51):
than the Dodgers did, and it was a bullpen game
for them. Now you got Garrett Cole, Garrett Cole, this
is why you pay him all that money to win
this game, biggest game of his Yankee career?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Do you have momentum?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
We'll talk to John Smoltz a little later later on
about that next hour. Let me see Curtis in Illinois. Hi, Curtis,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (29:16):
More DP got a possible poll question than a good
old fashion rhyme time for you.
Speaker 11 (29:21):
But for the poll question, you guys were talking about,
like Harden being a Hall of.
Speaker 14 (29:24):
Fame Westbrook and then with d hop getting signed to
the Chiefs last year kind of reminded me like, what's
more impressive of a feat DeAndre Hopkins getting one thousand
yards and seventy five catches last year for the Titans
or Harden averaging like thirty on a crappier team.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I would say DeAndre Hopkins with Tennessee because I don't
think Will Levis is an NFL quarterback at least his
starting one. Harden's going to get his points, he's ball dominant,
He's going to get his numbers. He is, so that
doesn't surprise me. He's always got in his numbers. But
for DeAndre Hopkins to go, I don't know how this
(30:06):
is going to work out here. These quarterbacks that I
have here, but that was that was a big deal.
Get a thousand yards with the Titans. That's like fifteen
hundred yards elsewhere. Let's see Chase in Texas. I Chase,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (30:22):
Hey, Dan, thank for taking my call. Lifelong Texans van
here with the injury to Digs, with the ACL injury
putting him out for the season. What do you think
the Texans ceiling is at this point? And let's just
go ahead and assume Nico Collins comes back from his injury.
I think he's set to come back on Sunday Night
(30:44):
Football next week if I'm correct on that. What do
you think their ceiling is if Nico Collins is able
to come back with step On Diggs.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Out, well, I think they feel confident. At least they're comfortable.
And that's the quote, but I'm paraphrasing here that hey,
we're okay.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You don't expect anybody.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It's not like they're going to go, oh my god,
we've lost Stefan Diggs. We're really in trouble. You want
to show confidence in your other receivers, but I have
to believe, you know, trade deadline next week, that you've
got to at least be knocking on some doors here
just inquiring. And you know, maybe DeVante Adams doesn't want
(31:22):
to be traded. But if I'm the Texans, I at
least ask I ask if Cooper Cup is going to
be available, if anybody might be out there and you
see a team, and you're going to have this weekend's
games as well, because go back to last week. If
the Rams lose that game on Thursday night, I'm guessing
(31:42):
Cooper Cup is already traded. But they win, that changes
the Rams perspective here. Hey, we're still in this and
if we get Cooper Cup and Pooka Nakua with Matthew Stafford,
we're going to have a chance. In every single game,
somebody is going to be available, probably because.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
His team is going to lose. Over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
We'll take a break, We'll get to more phone calls
coming out. We will update our poll results here. John
Smoltz will join us next hour, but up next our Play.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, we put up there. Bullpen games are smart or soft? Okay,
smart or soft? Where do you come down on that?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
M Well, I have to embrace today's baseball, so I
would say it's smart now, you know. The old me
would be like, no, it'd be great to have some
starting pitching because that's what the playoffs, that's what the
World Series is all about. It's always been about starting pitching.
Now it's not if you go five, that's like going
(34:02):
nine and you get that luxury where you have somebody
who takes the heat pressure off your bullpen. It's a
big luxury, certainly in a series like this.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
Yes, Tom, you're a World Series team in a big market.
You need four strong starters, even a fifth spot starter
that can jump in and pitch six seven innings. I
know that's way back in the day, but it's also soft.
If you have one picture throwing an inning and a
third one picture gets one batter another one. You got
nine pitchers to get you through nine innings, that's just weak.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Thank you to Soft.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Thank you Ton SOFTFT Bob and Montana, Good morning, Bob,
welcome back.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Oh hey, DP, Hey, a couple of relationship issues or
question for you. First and foremost, happy anniversary, I believe
today for mister and missus Todd Fritz. Today's actually the
anniversary of the day I met my first fiance, so
if I remember right, we both have the same big day.
So happy birthday there for Happy anniversary for it.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
And congrats see you too, Bob.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Thank you appreciate your congrats. Maybe a little premature after
almost thirty years of marriage. I'll be single here by
the end of the year. I know. I won't go
into all the details, but suffice it to say I
walked in on a situation similar to Ryan and Honolulu
all those years ago. Oh no, so that's unfortunate. So
(35:21):
that to that end my question for you.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Dan, And wait wait wait, wait, wait, Like, did you
come home from work?
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Well, we went up to we went up north for
like a barbecue, and I they were having a good
time talking and watching the show and YadA, YadA, YadA,
and I went to bed early and I got up,
supposedly to use the restroom, and I walked in and
there they were on the couch together. So I'll just
leave it at that. Nothing there wasn't you know, they
(35:51):
were just making out on the couch. But that that
wasn't the only reason. We've been growing apart for a
long time, So that was all right.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I just yeah, well, marble story.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
That's awfully bold, by the way, to make out in
the room where your husband is in the other room sleeping. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's pretty bold.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I would have thought the fact that Bob wears Elvis
Presley costumes, maybe that had a role in this.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
You know, do you think it's his fault he could have.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Basically what you just said is the reason his wife
was sitting on the couch making out with some random
dudes she just met was because of him. That's his fault, his.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Love of Elvis. Yeah, that's what you just say. You know,
he keeps wearing these Elvis constumes. I mean it was
cute at first, yeah, but I mean there was role playing.
But after a while, Wow, Nate Nelle, Wow, Hey, but
they were just making out. Hey, Nate.
Speaker 15 (36:53):
Barn Fellas five ten, two ten. So with the possibility
of the Dodgers winning the World Series tonight, I just
want to know what the possibility that Marvin will choose
a play of the day the Celtics winning going undefeated,
last second shot over the Dodgers winning the World Series
(37:15):
for the play of the day.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I think I think play of the day if the
Dodgers win, it'll probably come from the baseball game the
Celtics beating the Pacers tonight.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I don't think that that's going to be your play
of the day. Uh, you don't know that, though I
do know that I do that I have final call
on the play of the day.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Yes, Marvin, what if Peyton Pittrick goes off for ten
three pointers off?
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Then a game here?
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Here's the only way the outcome of the Dodgers Yankees
isn't your play of the day. You guys want to
take a guess. This is the only way that somebody
else or another team will be the play of the
day tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yes, he'd somebody scores.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Nope, Marvin, eighty one points was my guest.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
No, no, no, no, God, you got to guess.
Speaker 8 (38:08):
I was thinking of something off there. Yeah, no, I
don't have.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
It, Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
It's Bronnie James scoring a basket tonight in Cleveland. Could
be your play of the day tomorrow. I am calling it.
Bronnie James mid range jumper. Dad throws him the ball
in Cleveland in his final NBA game until Christmas.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
No, no, just until.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Christmas, his final NBA game until Christmas. I'm calling it.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
JJ's gonna drop a play for Bronnie.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't know if they're going to run and play.
That'd be great. Okay, all right, let's gather here. All right, Ad,
You're a decoy. Lebron You're a decoy. Connect You're a decoy.
Uh d Russ, You come out, Bronnie, you're coming in.
Speaker 9 (38:58):
We're gonna run.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
We're gonna run. That a double pick down?
Speaker 9 (39:01):
Low?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
You come up, you curdl off of it. You hit
the fifteen footer. Ready break.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Robin So Freddie Freeman hit his eighteenth home run of
the World SERIESES.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
But no, if Bronnie scores a basket tonight, not a
free throw, a basket tonight, that's your play of the
day tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
Yesda, What point of the game do you foresee that happening?
If you're going to go all in on the prediction,
what do you got?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
We already did the prediction. When did they check into
the game and we got that second quarter? By the way,
I did have dinner with Shay and Irving and his
wife last night and it was a lovely evening. It
a lot of topics, and I think Shae didn't get scolded,
but I think he got admonished by his wife a
(39:50):
couple of times with things that he would say.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
It was my.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Wife, my youngest daughter, and Shaye and his wife. They
left at ten thirty. They got there at six oh seven,
and they left at ten thirty. I started cleaning up
the dishes and my wife goes, no, no, just leave them.
I go no, no, no, I'm gonna and she goes,
you want me to leave? Nanny kinds like, okay, so
(40:16):
this is over.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
No.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
But what I was doing is I wanted to help
clean up after my wife made the dinner, so then
we could go downstairs and smoke a cigar because I
didn't want to then smoke a cigar and it's ten
thirty and then you got to help clean up?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yes? Do you normally help clean up?
Speaker 9 (40:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (40:33):
You do, it's good, yeah, And so I was just
doing that so then I could go down So then
we went downstairs and we smoked a cigar. Turn on
the TV. Anthony Volpie's at the plate. Boom, see you
gone all righty One hour in the books. Two more
(40:53):
to go. John Smoltz, who was on the call last night.
We'll talk about the fan interference, talk some football a
little bit later. More phone calls as well. Fritzie's here,
and Seatan's here, and Marvin's here. Yours truly hour two
back after this
