(00:26):
Fritz ten ten, same day, same year, Brett Farv. How
about a round of applause and a happy birthday, Happy birthday,
thank you very much. Guys, you thought we forgot, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
You know how much birthdays mean to me. Unlike Paul,
I revel in the attention of the birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Thad. All right, well, congratulations Todd.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Better than the alternative, is what they said.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yes, we purposely did not say anything this morning. All
morning long.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I had a feeling someone was behind you. Let's see
it and make them sweat it out a little bit and.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Pretending, well you did kind of walk around wait for
people to say happy birthday.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Very nice day today, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:05):
Yes, just you know, I completely forgot, and so much
so I was writing up the Rundown today and as
Todd and I were sitting here, go Fritzie, what's the
day day the tenth yep?
Speaker 8 (01:15):
I was like, why did you say yup like that?
And I completely forgot?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Why was I walking around with balloons and like fake
presents in my arms?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
That's just kind of weird looking for attention?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Would you like a cake today?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Would I like a cake today? I don't want to
ask for a cake. If a cake happens to a pier,
I would enjoy taking a piece.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Ready, all right?
Speaker 6 (01:31):
It was also to appear, I would enjoy taking a
piece of that as well.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
It's not for me to say, get me a cake.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's just a yes or no, that's all.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
If a cake appears, I will have a nice big
piece of cake, but I won't be offended.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
If we don't have cakes, okay, then no cake because
you didn't really, Oh.
Speaker 9 (01:46):
No, If Ritzie asked for a yellow cake with chocolate frosty,
he did.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
He did.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
There was actually like a marble cake with a lot
of confetti and whip cream and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm going to ask you one more time, do you
want a birthday cake today?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I would like a cake?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay, that's that's not Diff'll talk about an ice cream taker.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
That's a little crunchies.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
If that's what you want, I'll send one of the
brgs out to get you.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Yeah, I'd go ice cream take on one of those
marble cakes.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay, all right, Happy Birthday, Times your Day, All Day,
Your Day. Stat of the Day brought to you by
PENAI America, the official trading cards of the program. So
we'll talk to Chris Berman forty five years at the
Mothership and John Smoltz on the cold last night as
the Dodgers win that one, and they won it convincingly.
(02:33):
Eight pitchers in that game. Mets beat the Phillies, Francisco
Lindor Grand Slam. They advanced to the NLCS. The Tigers
are up to one on the Guardians. I liken this
matchup to you know, sometimes we'll have that game at
noon on Saturday and it's Rutgers against Maryland, a football game.
That's what this feels like. They're kind of, you know,
(02:56):
hiding it away a little bit. You have to kind
of go out of your way to find it. But
the Tigers, they are fun to watch. Yanks up to
one on the Royals and Jim Carlos Stanton, come on
down again. I didn't know where you were with Aaron
Judge not hitting well. But you know, I'm looking at
his home run rate. And I have a couple of
(03:17):
friends who are Yankee fans, like, why are you so
tough on Gim Carlos Stanton. I go, I would never
pay three hundred, two hundred, one hundred million for Giancarlos Stanton.
But he had three of New York's four hits, including
a home run in a double and they lead to
two games to one. So he has twelve home runs
(03:37):
in one hundred and nine postseason at bats, so that
home run rate is nine point zero eight. The only
player with at least one hundred postseason at bats to
homer more frequently than Gen Carlos Stanton. Babe Ruth, Babe Ruth.
(04:00):
Whoooo cowl stat.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
Of a day, Stall of a day, Stantata day, scant
outa day. This is the stant of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So my apologies to GM, Carlos Stanton and the Stanton family.
This first hour brought to you by the hottest Rookie's
biggest superstars, the all time greats. The only place to

(04:36):
dot net. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank
you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around
the country. So play the day, poll questions, stat of
the day, all of that coming up, and your phone
calls each seven to seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
is sitting by to take your phone calls. It was
a fun day of baseball. It's one of those where
(04:57):
I was driving home and all of a sudden, I'm
flipping channels and I got and the Tigers will go
to the bottom of the six and I go, oh
my god, forgot all about my Tigers. And then all
of a sudden go home and watch the ninth inning.
And then I got Mets in the Phillies, and I'm going,
all right, this is good. I like this. And then
(05:20):
the Dodgers blow out the Padres, forcing a game five.
You got football coming up tonight, the Niners at the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are getting three and a half, so Guardians, Tigers, Yankees,
and the Royals, but the big night was Francisco. Lindor
came back from his back injury and has been on
a tear so eleven games since coming back from a
(05:40):
back injury, he has three homers, eleven RBIs, six multi
hit games in those eleven games, including the grand slam
last night.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Now the Pitts swinging a tive towards the capitolight set
and let's pretty deep. It's back there the wall. It's gone,
It's gone, Francisco. He may have just outdone himself. He
has hit a grand slam into the Phillies bullpen and
right center field.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The Mets are leading by a score.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Of four to one.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
They were famished for the big hit all night at Francisco.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Lindor just provided a feast Mets four, Phillies won here
on the sixth then eight.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I believe that's the Mets radio call. I believe checking
because this is how the Phillies radio call went.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Two and one.
Speaker 11 (06:30):
Here's the pitch swung on, belted up the oulley right
center and that ball is gone Francisco, and the door
turns the game around.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
A grand slam for the door.
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Mets lead four to one here in the bottom of
the sixth.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
The Mets, though, think you're wrong. I think you have
them switched. I think the more we just played was
the Mets call.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Really gets pretty excited. No, it's Sara already had the joke.
We had the joke by Bert.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
They don't give me a hard time. It's a nine
oh eight, a long day an eight about that. How
he rose, he was into it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Thank you, Ty, you're annoying, so Lindor. Of the Grand Slam,
the Mets advanced to the NLCS as they beat up
on the Phillies. I like that you have these inner
division games because there's already that build in rivalry. But
the Padres and the Dodgers, although not as much last night,
but the Phillies and the Mets, Tigers and the Guardians
(07:40):
maybe not as heated, but still that familiarity. That's what's
fun watching this. The Yankees and the Royals. I mean,
the Yankees will be lucky to survive because this Royals
team is a good team. The Yankees do have star power.
But you know, even watching last night, you're just it
feels like they're not a great team. But they did
(08:04):
come up with a couple of big hits. You only
have four hits and Gen Carlos Stent was the star
of that game. And then the Dodgers. That series with
the Padres is all tied up. You know. It was
Mookie bets early and all of a sudden that kind
of set the tone there of the Dodgers, and I
kept waiting. I kept waiting for you guys got to
(08:25):
go after this because this Padre team and that atmosphere
and it felt like, oh boy, you better do something early.
And then they did, and then the Padres never recovered.
But the Dodgers using eight pitchers, I mean, get used
to this. This is this is the new norm where
you're like, I got a starting reliever is what you have.
(08:45):
And it's not like the Dodgers have a great pitching staff,
so they you really have to piece this together. It's
almost like a jigsaw puzzle of that guy goes there,
and then he'll go this number of batters, and then
this guy goes there, and then all of a sudden,
you're kind of piecing it all together n Erubik's cube.
(09:05):
But you really have to manage this. And they gave
up seven hits and end up blowing out the Padres. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
It's such a weird thing because if you see a
box score where a team used eight pitchers, they got
beat like thirteen to one back in the old days,
and now it's smart managing.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
Smoltz was walking this through it last night, like.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
This guy will pitch to these two guys and he's done,
and it was like he's orchestrating it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, but you're seeing it and it's way too I
know Tony larusa ushered this in a long, long time ago.
It just takes away that this guy is on the
mound second time through the lineup. I you know, analytics,
I haven't embraced it because I think there's more to
(09:49):
baseball than just this is what the numbers say. Because
I'm guessing your numbers are going to say the same
thing as the opposing manager's numbers. You both have the
same analytic in analyts in front of you. What you
don't have is your gut feeling or I'm gonna go
with this guy. I'm going to keep him in there
instead of Nope, you've gone eleven pitches and that's it
(10:11):
and you go sit down here. We're going to bring
in the lefting. I don't like that. I mean, I
love that atmosphere of he's staying in to face this guy.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Yes, right, where you're showing up that like one on
one battle. It's like it's always the pitcher versus the batter.
But there are times where it feels like, all right,
this is the matchup we've been looking for, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And Derek Jeter brought this up the other night post game,
and he said, when you get to the postseason, it's
still about starting pitching. Now, not as much, but because
if you have it, it's such an advantage if you
have the guy who can go five or six and
then take that pressure off your bullpen because you know,
(10:54):
Game five for the Dodgers Padres, it's all hands on deck.
You know, you're trying to get your guy a little
bit of a break there, or hey, can you eat
up some innings here so we can hold off because
we're gonna need these guys in Game five. Yes, set.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
And the crazy thing too about using that many pitchers
is that you're requiring each of them is required to
be on that night. You know, there are some nights
that you just reach back and it's not there. You
can't find the plate or the ball's not moving the
way you want it to.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Whatever that is.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
There's a million things that can go wrong for a pitcher.
You're requiring each of those five, six, seven, eight guys
to be on that night.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And you're asking them to throw thirty pitches or less.
But the preparation to get ready for your thirty pitches
or less, that's the stressful part. It's not I mean
you have to go through your normal routine to pitch.
Not hey, you're not pitching tonight, good, it's you're gonna
be ready to go now. You know you've got to
(11:52):
prepare accordingly, and then you're gonna have to do that
again for Game five. So it's not just hey, go
out there and face a couple of hitters. It's do
your prep that you normally do because you're going to
be in the lineup at some point tonight and you
have eight pitchers here the Tigers they use six pitchers
a combined three nothing shut out of the Guardians. This
(12:15):
is what's happening now in baseball. It's kind of get
to the fourth fifth inning and then all of a sudden,
here comes the arms in there. I just wonder what
this does for salaries with starting pitchers because it used
to be well in some cases you had got Verlander
and Scherzer and Kershaw, Garrett Cole. I mean they're making
(12:37):
some coin. I would not be paying my pitcherres not.
You know, unless it gets back to that you're you're
actually concerned about somebody's arm and that it doesn't have
to be one hundred miles an hour, then you might
get back and you know, maybe it's cyclical. Maybe baseball
comes back to this like years from now, and they say,
(12:58):
you know, it's not about it's about location. Because I'm
watching last night, and if you put it in a
certain spot, no matter how hard you throw, they are
going to wolf it down. They are going to They're
going to make you pay for it. That's why you
still have to have location. If you have movement in location,
I'll take that over velocity any day. But we're so
(13:23):
drunk with velocity exit velocity. I don't care. I just
care where did you put the ball? And I'm watching
last night in the Phillies and the Mets, and all
of a sudden they just wait you out. They're waiting
for one pitch and you're going to eventually make a
mistake and when you do, they're going to make you
pay for it. But those pitchers who have location and
(13:47):
some movement, boy, that's what I would be my scouts.
That's what I'd be saying. I don't care if they
throw a hunting because I'm going to lose you for
a season. If you throw one hundred miles an hour,
I will eventually lose you for a year at least
with Tommy John. If I have somebody who is ninety
five with location control, that to me is where I
(14:11):
would go. It's nice to have that guy. I mean,
everybody throws close to one hundred miles an hour. It's
like it almost feels like, man, we're going to really
screw them up. This guy's only gonna throw ninety three. Well,
ninety three is still fast. Just letting you know if
you've stepped into the batter's box. But that's now a slider,
(14:32):
a ninety three mile an hour slider. I think baseball
eventually gets back to we have a starting line. You know,
we have starting pitchers who can go six innings. God forbid,
they could go seven innings.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
They'll be on a pitch count of corn. Yes, Pum,
I just looked it up. At how they're demphasizing the
starting pitcher. This year in baseball, fifteen pitchers pitched two
hundred or more innings. Twenty years ago, forty seven pitchers pitched.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Two hundred or more innings. That's not I mean, that's
a while back, but not long ago.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
That's not the eighties.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I know. And look, I've said baseball has had a
good year. I just wish we still had some starting pitchers,
because that's what the postseason is about. It's about starting
pitchers and your closer. I got guys who are coming
in and they're like, uh, you know, he's gonna throw
nine nine pitches? Why nine? That's his limit. He's gonna
(15:26):
throw nine, like nine pitches.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I hope we go back and find that it's okay
to have somebody who doesn't throw a huntie. All I
know is when Mark McGuire faced Randy Johnson, and Randy
Johnson threw it a hundred and Mark McGuire hit it
two hundred, and I went, you know, it's it's hard
(15:50):
to hit a home run if somebody is not throwing
it hard. But when you throw it hard and you
make contact and you're a major league hitter, it'll go,
it will go.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Yeah, And that's like a battle of like titans, right,
I mean, look at the two names that you just
put the put out there. That's like you don't get
that as much now, but that that's like a man.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But that's what I miss, Like I love like this
school old kid with Detroit. I mean he's a beast.
I mean he really is. And then you're thinking, this
is the way pitching used to be. You would have
a guy who's gonna go seven and just deal. I
do miss that. I do miss that deal. Alrighty, let's
take a break. Todd's birthday today ten ten ten, ten.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Ten months, same day, same year, right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Ten ten wins. We'll get a cake in here at
some point today for Fritzy, and if you want to
wish him a happy birthday, you can please.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
All jokes all the time, ten ten wins.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Thank you. See, I don't try today like today day?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
You know? Is that trying too?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You said ten ten wins.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
They say all news all the time. I said all
jokes all the time. You called me the Minister of Humor.
I thought that fit nicely. There.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Got to be pretty familiar with what ten ten wins is.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, that's a that's really, really, really local.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
It's very New York.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yes, but they do say it's the most listened to
news stations in the countries, So I guess people are
listening online somehow.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Are they still in existence?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
CBS is not eight eighty am does not do news anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Let's take a break here back after this.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
We didn't talk about Aaron Rodgers in the first twenty
minutes of the show. I had to. I had to
take a segment off or two because we spent a
lot of time talking about that situation. He did go
on McAfee's show yesterday. I'll bring back a couple of
those comments. They got a big game on Monday night.
If they beat buff they're in first place. They're underdogs
(18:04):
at home. But you start to look at this and go,
if they beat Denver, does Robert Sala get fired? Probably not.
Now you go to Minnesota after losing at home to
Denver then and they could have won that game. Now
they were down seventeen to nothing, but they could have
won the game. Is he going to be fired after
(18:26):
a win against Minnesota? Probably not. Now, if you're the
Jets and Aaron Rodgers, then is there part of you that, Okay,
maybe we're glad we lost because short term, long term,
are we better off now without Robert Sala Now? I
(18:46):
don't know if you are. Because the defense, which is
what he runs, has been playing great. It's the offense
which Aaron Rodgers and his friends haven't lived up to
the expectations here. And I think Nathaniel Hackett needs to
be demoted, Get somebody else in there, another play caller,
(19:08):
and go after Devonte Adams, Like if you're all in
on Aaron Rodgers, then be all in, like, let's go.
But Robert sala is his the scapegoat here. I wouldn't
have brought him back this year because this doesn't happen
where you fire somebody after five games in the history
of the NFL modern history of the NFL, it doesn't happen.
(19:32):
And so you're going to fire him. If he was
on that short of a leash, then don't bring him back.
Now you might say, well, we got to bring him back,
got to be fair to him because he didn't have
Aaron Rodgers. Okay, but then give him the whole season here,
because he's not the reason why you guys haven't lived
up to expectations. Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett are the
(19:56):
reason why. Because if you just have an ad reach
offense here, you can win this division. You can have
eleven wins and that you know you got two out.
The Patriots are going with the rookie quarterback. Buffalo may
not be as good as we think they are, but
they're still going to be formidable. Certainly at home. You
(20:18):
can win this and everybody's happy. But when you don't
have everybody on the same page and the offense has
been bad, then there's going to be a casualty. Here's
Aaron Rodgers on the McAfee show that he was not
involved in his head coach being fired.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there,
I'm not going to spend more than one sentence in
response to it, and that is that I resent any
of those accusations because they're patently false. And it's interesting
the amount of power that people think that I have,
(20:57):
which I don't, but I love Robert and uh it was,
you know one of those days yesterday.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, Do I think he walked into the owner's office
and said you must fire him? No, I don't do.
I think he has power in the organization. Let's not
get anybody. They were desperate to get a franchise quarterback.
They had a chance. They brought him in. You bring
me in. I'm bringing my boys in, and all of
a sudden, you guys have Nathaniel Hackett as my offensive coordinator.
(21:29):
You got power. He probably has more power in his
organization than any other quarterback does, and that includes Patrick Mahomes.
Because if I'm Patrick Mahomes, I've already seen what my
GM and head coach can do. I don't have to
go in there and go, hey, I don't want to
bring back Juju Smith, Hey I want to bring in
(21:51):
Kareem Hunt. He didn't have to do that. He would
have total trust in Andy Reid and Brett Beach because
they've proven to him, the Jets proving they haven't proved anything.
Their track record is terrible. So Mahomes doesn't have this
power now. He may maybe down the road he might
(22:14):
want to have this power. Brady didn't have this power.
So those are the two best quarterbacks. I'm sure Joe
Montana didn't have power total autonomy with the Niners. Elway didn't.
Dan Reeves drafted Tommy Maddox in the first round. Did
Dan Marino have Toto autonomy with Don Shula? Probably not.
(22:39):
Aaron Rodgers has power now? Does he have finals? Say so?
Probably not, but you'd be crazy to bring him in
acquiesced to him, and then all of a sudden you go, hey,
we're not going to run this by you. We're making
this decision. You would say the following. Once again, I
apply logic, and I know that's rare in this business.
(23:00):
You would say to Aaron, hey, we got to make
some changes here and we're going to we're going to
dismiss Robert Sala. Just to let you know that's going
to happen later on today, so you're not blindsided by it. Okay,
Robert Sala is going to be blindsided by it, but
we don't want you to be blindsided by it. And
that's probably what happened here. Because Aaron is going to
(23:22):
be staying there, you want to make sure you let
him know. Remember what the packers did. Packers didn't reach
out to Aaron Rodgers and say, hey, we're drafting your
replacement until they were ready to draft his replacement in
the first round. He's there drinking tequila thinking he's getting
a wide receiver. He didn't have a say in the
(23:43):
Packers organization. Do I think he was the guy who
his fingerprints her all over this firing? No? I don't.
But his play is the reason why Robert sala got fired.
Score a touchdown against Denver, that's it. Don't fall behind
(24:04):
and throw three picks in a pick six against Minnesota.
He doesn't get fired. So no, did you have a
say in this? You probably didn't. Your play did. That's
why he got fired. And your buddy Nathaniel Hackett hasn't
done a good job. So yes, you did have a say.
(24:28):
You did play a role in Robert Salad being fired.
Not hey, go ahead and fire him. Okay. You know
he can act like he doesn't have power and he
had nothing to do with this, but he did by proxy,
he did, Yes, marm Do you.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Think Aaron Rodgers has that power because the Jets are
such an unstable franchise? Would he have that power if
it was Baltimore or Kansas City?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, they wouldn't have brought him in and let him
have that like they they're not desperate. The Jets are desperate.
They haven't had a winner a long time, like a
true winning team where you go, man, we're proud of
that team. And they're still living off the fumes of
a Super Bowl with Joe Namath back in the late sixties.
(25:12):
They're desperate. That's why desperate times you do desperate things.
And that's what they did when they brought him in,
paid all that money and it just hasn't worked out yet.
But Aaron can't be void of blame here. Yes, you
played a role. Everybody on the Jets played a role.
(25:35):
Certainly the offense played a role. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Even if you go back years ago when he was
on Green Bay and they took the took Jordan Love
out of nowhere, it was his play that caused it
to take Jordan Love. The three seasons before Jordan Love
was picked, he had his three lowest touchdown seasons of
his career. He still was fantastic, but he had twenty
five touchdowns twenty six touchdowns a.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Couple of years earlier, he had forty.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
The year after Jordan Love got picked, he had forty
eight touchdowns. Yeah, but the three years before he had
cooled off a little bit as a quarterback.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
You know, he missed a couple of Pro Bowls.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, he had this to say to McAfee about something
had to change with the Jets.
Speaker 12 (26:13):
There was going to be some things that needed to change,
regardless of you know what happened to Robert and you know,
we just haven't been playing consistent football on offense. And
as we know, the definition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, so what is changing? Is Nathaniel Hackett still going
to be calling plays? Is the offense going to be
different on Monday Night? I mean that's what I would ask,
you know, Aaron Rodgers if he said that, I'd be like, oh,
so what is changing? Play calling, changing formations, philosophy, Davante Adams,
(26:53):
whatever it might be. Let us know, because things had
to change. Things have to change. Yeah, everybody agrees what
is the change? Well you'll have to wait and see
on Monday night. Okay, wait and see on Monday night
as you host the Buffalo Bills. And it's so Jetsy
and that they could you know, they would win that game,
(27:16):
and then you would go, Okay, where's this been? Why
can't you do that weekend and week out? But they
are a two point underdog at home. All right, we'll
get phone calls coming up. Poll question, Seaton, what are
we going to go with first hour?
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Well, we got a lot of options. I can tell
you that. Well, okay, from the t O dub on
his birthday, we have some options. He said, do you
believe Aaron Rodgers had nothing to do with Robert Salah
getting fired?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You know what I do?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Or absolutely not? Are your two options? Okay, we have
an offshoot of that. Just when Aaron Rodgers says he
has nothing to do with Robert Salad getting fired, you
should dot dot dot take him at his word or
do your own research.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh wow, a little callback there, a little little research,
do your back.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
You can take the expert at his word or do
your own research, whichever you want. We could save that
for hour two. Perhaps get Chris Burman's thoughts on that.
How about we switch over to baseball. How do you
prefer your home run celebrations?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Stand? Well, we saw this with Francisco Lindor hit a
grand slam and he was business like I.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Was pretty baller, got to admit that was it, but
it was different.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's why it stood out. It's like when Barry Sanders
would score a touchdown, he'd hand the ball to the official.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
It almost had this like air of like not even
like why are you guys surprised, but like, yeah, of
course I just did that. That's what I do.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yes, they pay me some. They pay me three hundred
million dollars to do that.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I did like it. But then you juxtapose that with
the Padres and how they celebrate, and I think there's
those spirited moments that you get caught up in it.
But Francisco Lindor was that's just business. It's almost like
he had a suitcase that he was going to work
as he rounded the bases, and I thought it was
(29:20):
pretty cool to see. So it is Fritzi's birthday ten ten,
and Brett farre is a ten tenor.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Yes, same day, any same year?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Any other famous people born on Okay, is there somebody
that Fritzie is more famous than on the famous list
of people born on ten tens? Okay?
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I have a pretty good list that I go to
for this, and it's pretty comprehensive. I'll start naming names.
You yell, and Fritzie's more famous in them, all right,
David Lee Roth, actor Bradley Whitford from the West Wing.
Now if I have to say the West Wing, but
I think everyone knows who Bradley Whitford is.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Yes, Mario Lopez.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Okay, So if you change this from more famous to
more relevant, is right at the top of this list
on all those on TV every day. I'm just saying
to you.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I appreciate that. Bozy bozy bop.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Okay, Okay, I mean you're David Lee Roth is better
than your Don tru Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
All right.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Now, if you have to say who's that, that's a
good actress Amy t Garden, who does not know who
she is. I don't know who she she was the
daughter on Friday Night Lights, I would say Fritzie is
more famous currently. Yes, let's see actress Julia Sweeney from SNL.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yeah, Todd's definitely more fair.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Wow, this is nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
That's her Dale ear and her junior.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
More relevant?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
WHOA what are you doing? You can't do that to you.
You're just kidding.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
It's just a joke.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
You don't want that fan based on manage. Yeah, no,
you don't, you do not of course. Brett Farvara, Yeah,
who's having a better year Todd? Okay, like different.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Times, Dodd Todd isd.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
Is country singer Tanya Tucker very popular.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
No long time ago.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Yeah, she still has juice in the country community.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Actress Wendy mcclennan, Kobe, who you work Goldbergs.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I did make out with her so on set. Yeah,
but that always leads to something offset, Okay.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Actress Rose mc iver turns thirty six. I don't know
who she is, but that might be more about me anyone.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
I don't know Rose mcgiver like mcgiver, like mcg like
mc ivor oh, mick ivor Right, I'm gonna say fritzy moreh.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Todd's winning that one.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Okay, what about me or Rose McGowan.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
But is it her birthday?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
That's a great question. It's probably not her birthday. I
was just playing with Rose mc iver, so that made
no sense.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
I'm checking.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Your first hour has not gone well on your birthday,
just saying.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Muy were not born on this day?
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Yeah, Todd, just a quick birthday present for you. I
googled Rose mc ivor to see who see who she is.
I'm on her Wikipedia and her filmography. First film is
The Piano. The second one she was in Todd was
called Topless Women Talk About their Lives. No, she plays Sally.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
Tod's seen her work?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Then, okay, she plays Sally. Hey, guys, what I got
the part? I got the part?
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Yesh, Yeah, I'm playing Sally.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
What's the name of the movie?
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Topless Women talk about their Lives?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Great?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
That's awful.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
You know what I'm doing at twelve oh one Eastern
time next to her?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
There it is?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
That's the is Todd ain't more famous than these people?
Born on ten?
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Ten?
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Game?
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Alrighty, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
How about we take a break here. We got our
play of the day and then some phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 1 (33:30):
This is the play of the day.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Check this out now of the pits sware going to
drive towards the Capitolight Center. It's pretty deep. It's back
there the wall. It's gone. It's gone. Francesco Lindor. He
may have just outdone himself. He has head up ground slam.
The Mets are lading by a start of.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Four to one.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That's courtesy of the Mets radio network, Howie Rose with
the call. Since falling eleven games below five hundred at
the end of May, the Mets have guns seventy two
and forty two. That's your play of the day. Play

did hear the following, Man, Mets started out oh and
five this season. There's one hundred and sixty two games.
I mean, that's not monumental that they over Oh my god,
they lost their first five games. Wow, that would like
(34:38):
be trailing at the end of the first quarter of
one football game.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Correct, right, Yes, five games would be like one third
of one percent of the season.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I don't know how they did it. They started out
oh and five from the depths. Wow, man, you turned
it around. That's incredible. I had a couple of phone
calls in here. Doug in North Carolina leads us off. Hi, Doug,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (35:04):
Well, Dan, I want to do a little experiment and
hopefully this will work to prove a point. If I'm
going to ask you three really quick questions, just give
me the first names that pop into your mind. If
I said the Kansas City Chiefs, who's the first person
you think of?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Patrick Mahomes Exactly?
Speaker 13 (35:20):
If I said the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Bills, Josh Allen.
Speaker 13 (35:25):
Okay, Now, if I said the Detroit Lions, who's the
first person you think of?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well, I know you think I'm going to say Dan Campbell,
but I would think of Jared Goff.
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Uh See, I think most people would think of Dan Campbell.
And I think the Lions are the only team maybe
in my lifetime, maybe going back to Mike Dicko, where
the coach is the identity of the team. I don't
think here Golf has a personality of a cardboard box.
I don't think people think of him well.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
He has played well, played well. Last year they almost
went to the super Bowl. So I get what you're
saying that we have a lot of teams. College basketball
is full of the coach is the recognizable person. But yeah,
Dan Campbell's personality, Yes, his personality is a whole lot
better than Jared Goff. I'm just looking at the success
(36:13):
of this team. Might hinge on Jared Goff. Patrick Mahomes
in conjunction with Andy Reid, Josh Allen a standalone. Sean
McDermott's name usually comes up when he's on the hot
seat or you know something's happened or play calling is bad.
But yeah, there's a few of those coaches. Sean mcvay's name,
(36:34):
you know, Jim Harbaugh, John Harball, not as much because
that's Lamar Jackson. Trying to think if there's any other coaches,
I mean Nick Sirianni comes to mind only because he's
on the hot seat Dallas. If you think Jerry Jones,
(36:55):
like the Dallas MAVs. You used to think Mark Cuban,
you know, now it's Luca. But there's quite a few
coaches that do stand out. Anybody at Alabama when Saban
was there, it was Nick Saban, uh Dabo Sween, Dabo
uh Sweeney. Yeah. At Clemson, Yeah, so there's quite a
(37:17):
few of those, But when it comes to the personality
of an NFL team, Yeah, there's a very few coaches
that probably stand out. Yeah, Paul, the.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
One that popped in my head would be the mid
eighties New York Giants. Parcels was bigger and more famous.
Speaker 8 (37:31):
Than Phil Simms. Yes, nationally, I think so, Yeah, you
covered them.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yep, the Packers with Vince Lombardi. Shula was always you know, omnipresident,
George Hallis with the Bears, Landry with the Cowboys. Yeah,
there's been quite a few coaches that are you know,
they're the figurehead that they're the person you think of.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
Yes, would you have thought of Lawrence Taylor in that
team first?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Maybe maybe well before Phil Simms, Yes, yeah, it'd be
Bill Parcells and or Lawrence Taylor. I mean Parcells, you
can't underestimate his presence definitely in New York on that team.
I mean he was the press conferences. Yeah, I mean
(38:17):
Bob Knight, every team that he coached, it was Bob
Knight coaching. Even John Wooden had Bill Walton, leu Al
Sindor is still John Wooden. So there's yeah, sports history
littered with the coaches who are more important or name recognition, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
John Gruden with the Buccaneers.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah, okay, yeah yeah, let me see what else do
we have here? David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
your mind today? Yeah?
Speaker 12 (38:44):
I just wanted to wish Todd a happy birthday, and
I was wondering if he was sure if anyone was
going to show up to his birthday party.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Thank you?
Speaker 8 (38:52):
Oh call back.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
He wasn't even sure if he should have shown up.
I'd still say, that's doctor. I cannot believe that's how
I slushed my.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Essays like that.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
You did it this morning.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
I did do it.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I felt it too as I was saying it, and
Seaton called me out of this.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
I tried to talk too fast. I talk too slow.
Drink more, drink less, don't shove a half of roast
beef sawers in my mouth right before talking.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
That could be a problem as well. You know what,
let me hear it one more time, Marvin, just to
make sure that I he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Even sure if he should have shown up. That's very
upsetting to listen to, very disturbing.
Speaker 8 (39:31):
I find it entertaining.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, yeah, it's like speech.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Impediments slash mild stroke. I don't know. That's just really
upsetting to listen back to that.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
I don't think it's a mild stroke. I just think
that you you get going and your your tongue and
your mouth and your words, your brain.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
That's a significant slushing of ass.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
You don't you don't hear yourself.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
And my wife said, because he's in reading and teaches
you know, speech and things like that, and it's like,
I'm hesitant to say anything that has an es an
shud because it just sounds terrible.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Okay, exactly.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
You know, there's something I can think a little kid
would have. And I'm fifty five today and I'm still
doing that with my.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oh today's your birthday, birthday, birthday sixty nine. Yeah, that's great, Yeah,
happy birthday. Yeah. We did order a cake. We'll see
if we Yeah, we did. Thought I'm gonna see if
I can get an ice cream cake. And I don't
know if I can get a Denver Bronco cake.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
You know what, whatever you get I will be happy
with as long as I'm not asked to cut the cake.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
No, No, it's always good.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
For We're not doing that PAULI always made that show yes,
and thought that was very fun, except for the.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Fact that I can't cut a cake or sweep or
cut down a natter. You scissors and many of you.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
No, no, no, we're not doing that today. Don't. We're not
feeling for it. No, we're not feeling sorry for you.
It's your birthday. You're gonna screw it up. We don't
have to.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
I will find something else to show my incompetence about itself.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Chris Berman is going to join us, coming up next.
One Hour in the Books, Two more to go.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's our one on his Thursday Dan and the dan
ET's Dan Patrick Show. It's a big day today. Chris
Berman stops by. John Smoltz was on the call with
the Dodgers and the Padres last night. He will join
us as well Baseball later on today tonight. Football tonight
the Niners at the Seahawks. But we begin with Todd
(00:26):
Fritz ten ten, same day, same year, Brett Farv. How
about a round of applause and a happy birthday, Happy birthday,
thank you very much. Guys, you thought we forgot, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
You know how much birthdays mean to me. Unlike Paul,
I revel in the attention of the birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Thad. All right, well, congratulations Todd.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Better than the alternative, is what they said.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yes, we purposely did not say anything this morning. All
morning long.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I had a feeling someone was behind you. Let's see
it and make them sweat it out a little bit and.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Pretending, well you did kind of walk around wait for
people to say happy birthday.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Very nice day today, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:05):
Yes, just you know, I completely forgot, and so much
so I was writing up the Rundown today and as
Todd and I were sitting here, go Fritzie, what's the
day day the tenth yep?
Speaker 8 (01:15):
I was like, why did you say yup like that?
And I completely forgot?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Why was I walking around with balloons and like fake
presents in my arms?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
That's just kind of weird looking for attention?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Would you like a cake today?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Would I like a cake today? I don't want to
ask for a cake. If a cake happens to a pier,
I would enjoy taking a piece.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Ready, all right?
Speaker 6 (01:31):
It was also to appear, I would enjoy taking a
piece of that as well.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
It's not for me to say, get me a cake.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's just a yes or no, that's all.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
If a cake appears, I will have a nice big
piece of cake, but I won't be offended.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
If we don't have cakes, okay, then no cake because
you didn't really, Oh.
Speaker 9 (01:46):
No, If Ritzie asked for a yellow cake with chocolate frosty,
he did.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
He did.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
There was actually like a marble cake with a lot
of confetti and whip cream and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm going to ask you one more time, do you
want a birthday cake today?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I would like a cake?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay, that's that's not Diff'll talk about an ice cream taker.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
That's a little crunchies.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
If that's what you want, I'll send one of the
brgs out to get you.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Yeah, I'd go ice cream take on one of those
marble cakes.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay, all right, Happy Birthday, Times your Day, All Day,
Your Day. Stat of the Day brought to you by
PENAI America, the official trading cards of the program. So
we'll talk to Chris Berman forty five years at the
Mothership and John Smoltz on the cold last night as
the Dodgers win that one, and they won it convincingly.
(02:33):
Eight pitchers in that game. Mets beat the Phillies, Francisco
Lindor Grand Slam. They advanced to the NLCS. The Tigers
are up to one on the Guardians. I liken this
matchup to you know, sometimes we'll have that game at
noon on Saturday and it's Rutgers against Maryland, a football game.
That's what this feels like. They're kind of, you know,
(02:56):
hiding it away a little bit. You have to kind
of go out of your way to find it. But
the Tigers, they are fun to watch. Yanks up to
one on the Royals and Jim Carlos Stanton, come on
down again. I didn't know where you were with Aaron
Judge not hitting well. But you know, I'm looking at
his home run rate. And I have a couple of
(03:17):
friends who are Yankee fans, like, why are you so
tough on Gim Carlos Stanton. I go, I would never
pay three hundred, two hundred, one hundred million for Giancarlos Stanton.
But he had three of New York's four hits, including
a home run in a double and they lead to
two games to one. So he has twelve home runs
(03:37):
in one hundred and nine postseason at bats, so that
home run rate is nine point zero eight. The only
player with at least one hundred postseason at bats to
homer more frequently than Gen Carlos Stanton. Babe Ruth, Babe Ruth.
(04:00):
Whoooo cowl stat.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
Of a day, Stall of a day, Stantata day, scant
outa day. This is the stant of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So my apologies to GM, Carlos Stanton and the Stanton family.
This first hour brought to you by the hottest Rookie's
biggest superstars, the all time greats. The only place to
collect them all, Panini trading cards, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show, Instant classics, autograph cards, memorabilia cards,
rare inserts, and more. Starter continued collection now at Paniniamerica
(04:36):
dot net. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank
you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates around
the country. So play the day, poll questions, stat of
the day, all of that coming up, and your phone
calls each seven to seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
is sitting by to take your phone calls. It was
a fun day of baseball. It's one of those where
(04:57):
I was driving home and all of a sudden, I'm
flipping channels and I got and the Tigers will go
to the bottom of the six and I go, oh
my god, forgot all about my Tigers. And then all
of a sudden go home and watch the ninth inning.
And then I got Mets in the Phillies, and I'm going,
all right, this is good. I like this. And then
(05:20):
the Dodgers blow out the Padres, forcing a game five.
You got football coming up tonight, the Niners at the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are getting three and a half, so Guardians, Tigers, Yankees,
and the Royals, but the big night was Francisco. Lindor
came back from his back injury and has been on
a tear so eleven games since coming back from a
(05:40):
back injury, he has three homers, eleven RBIs, six multi
hit games in those eleven games, including the grand slam
last night.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Now the Pitts swinging a tive towards the capitolight set
and let's pretty deep. It's back there the wall. It's gone,
It's gone, Francisco. He may have just outdone himself. He
has hit a grand slam into the Phillies bullpen and
right center field.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The Mets are leading by a score.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Of four to one.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
They were famished for the big hit all night at Francisco.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Lindor just provided a feast Mets four, Phillies won here
on the sixth then eight.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I believe that's the Mets radio call. I believe checking
because this is how the Phillies radio call went.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Two and one.
Speaker 11 (06:30):
Here's the pitch swung on, belted up the oulley right
center and that ball is gone Francisco, and the door
turns the game around.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
A grand slam for the door.
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Mets lead four to one here in the bottom of
the sixth.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
The Mets, though, think you're wrong. I think you have
them switched. I think the more we just played was
the Mets call.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Really gets pretty excited. No, it's Sara already had the joke.
We had the joke by Bert.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
They don't give me a hard time. It's a nine
oh eight, a long day an eight about that. How
he rose, he was into it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Thank you, Ty, you're annoying, so Lindor. Of the Grand Slam,
the Mets advanced to the NLCS as they beat up
on the Phillies. I like that you have these inner
division games because there's already that build in rivalry. But
the Padres and the Dodgers, although not as much last night,
but the Phillies and the Mets, Tigers and the Guardians
(07:40):
maybe not as heated, but still that familiarity. That's what's
fun watching this. The Yankees and the Royals. I mean,
the Yankees will be lucky to survive because this Royals
team is a good team. The Yankees do have star power.
But you know, even watching last night, you're just it
feels like they're not a great team. But they did
(08:04):
come up with a couple of big hits. You only
have four hits and Gen Carlos Stent was the star
of that game. And then the Dodgers. That series with
the Padres is all tied up. You know. It was
Mookie bets early and all of a sudden that kind
of set the tone there of the Dodgers, and I
kept waiting. I kept waiting for you guys got to
(08:25):
go after this because this Padre team and that atmosphere
and it felt like, oh boy, you better do something early.
And then they did, and then the Padres never recovered.
But the Dodgers using eight pitchers, I mean, get used
to this. This is this is the new norm where
you're like, I got a starting reliever is what you have.
(08:45):
And it's not like the Dodgers have a great pitching staff,
so they you really have to piece this together. It's
almost like a jigsaw puzzle of that guy goes there,
and then he'll go this number of batters, and then
this guy goes there, and then all of a sudden,
you're kind of piecing it all together n Erubik's cube.
(09:05):
But you really have to manage this. And they gave
up seven hits and end up blowing out the Padres. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
It's such a weird thing because if you see a
box score where a team used eight pitchers, they got
beat like thirteen to one back in the old days,
and now it's smart managing.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
Smoltz was walking this through it last night, like.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
This guy will pitch to these two guys and he's done,
and it was like he's orchestrating it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, but you're seeing it and it's way too I
know Tony larusa ushered this in a long, long time ago.
It just takes away that this guy is on the
mound second time through the lineup. I you know, analytics,
I haven't embraced it because I think there's more to
(09:49):
baseball than just this is what the numbers say. Because
I'm guessing your numbers are going to say the same
thing as the opposing manager's numbers. You both have the
same analytic in analyts in front of you. What you
don't have is your gut feeling or I'm gonna go
with this guy. I'm going to keep him in there
instead of Nope, you've gone eleven pitches and that's it
(10:11):
and you go sit down here. We're going to bring
in the lefting. I don't like that. I mean, I
love that atmosphere of he's staying in to face this guy.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Yes, right, where you're showing up that like one on
one battle. It's like it's always the pitcher versus the batter.
But there are times where it feels like, all right,
this is the matchup we've been looking for, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And Derek Jeter brought this up the other night post game,
and he said, when you get to the postseason, it's
still about starting pitching. Now, not as much, but because
if you have it, it's such an advantage if you
have the guy who can go five or six and
then take that pressure off your bullpen because you know,
(10:54):
Game five for the Dodgers Padres, it's all hands on deck.
You know, you're trying to get your guy a little
bit of a break there, or hey, can you eat
up some innings here so we can hold off because
we're gonna need these guys in Game five. Yes, set.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
And the crazy thing too about using that many pitchers
is that you're requiring each of them is required to
be on that night. You know, there are some nights
that you just reach back and it's not there. You
can't find the plate or the ball's not moving the
way you want it to.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Whatever that is.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
There's a million things that can go wrong for a pitcher.
You're requiring each of those five, six, seven, eight guys
to be on that night.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And you're asking them to throw thirty pitches or less.
But the preparation to get ready for your thirty pitches
or less, that's the stressful part. It's not I mean
you have to go through your normal routine to pitch.
Not hey, you're not pitching tonight, good, it's you're gonna
be ready to go now. You know you've got to
(11:52):
prepare accordingly, and then you're gonna have to do that
again for Game five. So it's not just hey, go
out there and face a couple of hitters. It's do
your prep that you normally do because you're going to
be in the lineup at some point tonight and you
have eight pitchers here the Tigers they use six pitchers
a combined three nothing shut out of the Guardians. This
(12:15):
is what's happening now in baseball. It's kind of get
to the fourth fifth inning and then all of a sudden,
here comes the arms in there. I just wonder what
this does for salaries with starting pitchers because it used
to be well in some cases you had got Verlander
and Scherzer and Kershaw, Garrett Cole. I mean they're making
(12:37):
some coin. I would not be paying my pitcherres not.
You know, unless it gets back to that you're you're
actually concerned about somebody's arm and that it doesn't have
to be one hundred miles an hour, then you might
get back and you know, maybe it's cyclical. Maybe baseball
comes back to this like years from now, and they say,
(12:58):
you know, it's not about it's about location. Because I'm
watching last night, and if you put it in a
certain spot, no matter how hard you throw, they are
going to wolf it down. They are going to They're
going to make you pay for it. That's why you
still have to have location. If you have movement in location,
I'll take that over velocity any day. But we're so
(13:23):
drunk with velocity exit velocity. I don't care. I just
care where did you put the ball? And I'm watching
last night in the Phillies and the Mets, and all
of a sudden they just wait you out. They're waiting
for one pitch and you're going to eventually make a
mistake and when you do, they're going to make you
pay for it. But those pitchers who have location and
(13:47):
some movement, boy, that's what I would be my scouts.
That's what I'd be saying. I don't care if they
throw a hunting because I'm going to lose you for
a season. If you throw one hundred miles an hour,
I will eventually lose you for a year at least
with Tommy John. If I have somebody who is ninety
five with location control, that to me is where I
(14:11):
would go. It's nice to have that guy. I mean,
everybody throws close to one hundred miles an hour. It's
like it almost feels like, man, we're going to really
screw them up. This guy's only gonna throw ninety three. Well,
ninety three is still fast. Just letting you know if
you've stepped into the batter's box. But that's now a slider,
(14:32):
a ninety three mile an hour slider. I think baseball
eventually gets back to we have a starting line. You know,
we have starting pitchers who can go six innings. God forbid,
they could go seven innings.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
They'll be on a pitch count of corn. Yes, Pum,
I just looked it up. At how they're demphasizing the
starting pitcher. This year in baseball, fifteen pitchers pitched two
hundred or more innings. Twenty years ago, forty seven pitchers pitched.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Two hundred or more innings. That's not I mean, that's
a while back, but not long ago.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
That's not the eighties.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I know. And look, I've said baseball has had a
good year. I just wish we still had some starting pitchers,
because that's what the postseason is about. It's about starting
pitchers and your closer. I got guys who are coming
in and they're like, uh, you know, he's gonna throw
nine nine pitches? Why nine? That's his limit. He's gonna
(15:26):
throw nine, like nine pitches.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I hope we go back and find that it's okay
to have somebody who doesn't throw a huntie. All I
know is when Mark McGuire faced Randy Johnson, and Randy
Johnson threw it a hundred and Mark McGuire hit it
two hundred, and I went, you know, it's it's hard
(15:50):
to hit a home run if somebody is not throwing
it hard. But when you throw it hard and you
make contact and you're a major league hitter, it'll go,
it will go.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Yeah, And that's like a battle of like titans, right,
I mean, look at the two names that you just
put the put out there. That's like you don't get
that as much now, but that that's like a man.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But that's what I miss, Like I love like this
school old kid with Detroit. I mean he's a beast.
I mean he really is. And then you're thinking, this
is the way pitching used to be. You would have
a guy who's gonna go seven and just deal. I
do miss that. I do miss that deal. Alrighty, let's
take a break. Todd's birthday today ten ten ten, ten.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Ten months, same day, same year, right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Ten ten wins. We'll get a cake in here at
some point today for Fritzy, and if you want to
wish him a happy birthday, you can please.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
All jokes all the time, ten ten wins.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Thank you. See, I don't try today like today day?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
You know? Is that trying too?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You said ten ten wins.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
They say all news all the time. I said all
jokes all the time. You called me the Minister of Humor.
I thought that fit nicely. There.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Got to be pretty familiar with what ten ten wins is.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, that's a that's really, really, really local.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
It's very New York.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yes, but they do say it's the most listened to
news stations in the countries, So I guess people are
listening online somehow.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Are they still in existence?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
CBS is not eight eighty am does not do news anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Let's take a break here back after this.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
We didn't talk about Aaron Rodgers in the first twenty
minutes of the show. I had to. I had to
take a segment off or two because we spent a
lot of time talking about that situation. He did go
on McAfee's show yesterday. I'll bring back a couple of
those comments. They got a big game on Monday night.
If they beat buff they're in first place. They're underdogs
(18:04):
at home. But you start to look at this and go,
if they beat Denver, does Robert Sala get fired? Probably not.
Now you go to Minnesota after losing at home to
Denver then and they could have won that game. Now
they were down seventeen to nothing, but they could have
won the game. Is he going to be fired after
(18:26):
a win against Minnesota? Probably not. Now, if you're the
Jets and Aaron Rodgers, then is there part of you that, Okay,
maybe we're glad we lost because short term, long term,
are we better off now without Robert Sala Now? I
(18:46):
don't know if you are. Because the defense, which is
what he runs, has been playing great. It's the offense
which Aaron Rodgers and his friends haven't lived up to
the expectations here. And I think Nathaniel Hackett needs to
be demoted, Get somebody else in there, another play caller,
(19:08):
and go after Devonte Adams, Like if you're all in
on Aaron Rodgers, then be all in, like, let's go.
But Robert sala is his the scapegoat here. I wouldn't
have brought him back this year because this doesn't happen
where you fire somebody after five games in the history
of the NFL modern history of the NFL, it doesn't happen.
(19:32):
And so you're going to fire him. If he was
on that short of a leash, then don't bring him back.
Now you might say, well, we got to bring him back,
got to be fair to him because he didn't have
Aaron Rodgers. Okay, but then give him the whole season here,
because he's not the reason why you guys haven't lived
up to expectations. Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett are the
(19:56):
reason why. Because if you just have an ad reach
offense here, you can win this division. You can have
eleven wins and that you know you got two out.
The Patriots are going with the rookie quarterback. Buffalo may
not be as good as we think they are, but
they're still going to be formidable. Certainly at home. You
(20:18):
can win this and everybody's happy. But when you don't
have everybody on the same page and the offense has
been bad, then there's going to be a casualty. Here's
Aaron Rodgers on the McAfee show that he was not
involved in his head coach being fired.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there,
I'm not going to spend more than one sentence in
response to it, and that is that I resent any
of those accusations because they're patently false. And it's interesting
the amount of power that people think that I have,
(20:57):
which I don't, but I love Robert and uh it was,
you know one of those days yesterday.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, Do I think he walked into the owner's office
and said you must fire him? No, I don't do.
I think he has power in the organization. Let's not
get anybody. They were desperate to get a franchise quarterback.
They had a chance. They brought him in. You bring
me in. I'm bringing my boys in, and all of
a sudden, you guys have Nathaniel Hackett as my offensive coordinator.
(21:29):
You got power. He probably has more power in his
organization than any other quarterback does, and that includes Patrick Mahomes.
Because if I'm Patrick Mahomes, I've already seen what my
GM and head coach can do. I don't have to
go in there and go, hey, I don't want to
bring back Juju Smith, Hey I want to bring in
(21:51):
Kareem Hunt. He didn't have to do that. He would
have total trust in Andy Reid and Brett Beach because
they've proven to him, the Jets proving they haven't proved anything.
Their track record is terrible. So Mahomes doesn't have this
power now. He may maybe down the road he might
(22:14):
want to have this power. Brady didn't have this power.
So those are the two best quarterbacks. I'm sure Joe
Montana didn't have power total autonomy with the Niners. Elway didn't.
Dan Reeves drafted Tommy Maddox in the first round. Did
Dan Marino have Toto autonomy with Don Shula? Probably not.
(22:39):
Aaron Rodgers has power now? Does he have finals? Say so?
Probably not, but you'd be crazy to bring him in
acquiesced to him, and then all of a sudden you go, hey,
we're not going to run this by you. We're making
this decision. You would say the following. Once again, I
apply logic, and I know that's rare in this business.
(23:00):
You would say to Aaron, hey, we got to make
some changes here and we're going to we're going to
dismiss Robert Sala. Just to let you know that's going
to happen later on today, so you're not blindsided by it. Okay,
Robert Sala is going to be blindsided by it, but
we don't want you to be blindsided by it. And
that's probably what happened here. Because Aaron is going to
(23:22):
be staying there, you want to make sure you let
him know. Remember what the packers did. Packers didn't reach
out to Aaron Rodgers and say, hey, we're drafting your
replacement until they were ready to draft his replacement in
the first round. He's there drinking tequila thinking he's getting
a wide receiver. He didn't have a say in the
(23:43):
Packers organization. Do I think he was the guy who
his fingerprints her all over this firing? No? I don't.
But his play is the reason why Robert sala got fired.
Score a touchdown against Denver, that's it. Don't fall behind
(24:04):
and throw three picks in a pick six against Minnesota.
He doesn't get fired. So no, did you have a
say in this? You probably didn't. Your play did. That's
why he got fired. And your buddy Nathaniel Hackett hasn't
done a good job. So yes, you did have a say.
(24:28):
You did play a role in Robert Salad being fired.
Not hey, go ahead and fire him. Okay. You know
he can act like he doesn't have power and he
had nothing to do with this, but he did by proxy,
he did, Yes, marm Do you.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Think Aaron Rodgers has that power because the Jets are
such an unstable franchise? Would he have that power if
it was Baltimore or Kansas City?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, they wouldn't have brought him in and let him
have that like they they're not desperate. The Jets are desperate.
They haven't had a winner a long time, like a
true winning team where you go, man, we're proud of
that team. And they're still living off the fumes of
a Super Bowl with Joe Namath back in the late sixties.
(25:12):
They're desperate. That's why desperate times you do desperate things.
And that's what they did when they brought him in,
paid all that money and it just hasn't worked out yet.
But Aaron can't be void of blame here. Yes, you
played a role. Everybody on the Jets played a role.
(25:35):
Certainly the offense played a role. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Even if you go back years ago when he was
on Green Bay and they took the took Jordan Love
out of nowhere, it was his play that caused it
to take Jordan Love. The three seasons before Jordan Love
was picked, he had his three lowest touchdown seasons of
his career. He still was fantastic, but he had twenty
five touchdowns twenty six touchdowns a.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Couple of years earlier, he had forty.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
The year after Jordan Love got picked, he had forty
eight touchdowns. Yeah, but the three years before he had
cooled off a little bit as a quarterback.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
You know, he missed a couple of Pro Bowls.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, he had this to say to McAfee about something
had to change with the Jets.
Speaker 12 (26:13):
There was going to be some things that needed to change,
regardless of you know what happened to Robert and you know,
we just haven't been playing consistent football on offense. And
as we know, the definition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, so what is changing? Is Nathaniel Hackett still going
to be calling plays? Is the offense going to be
different on Monday Night? I mean that's what I would ask,
you know, Aaron Rodgers if he said that, I'd be like, oh,
so what is changing? Play calling, changing formations, philosophy, Davante Adams,
(26:53):
whatever it might be. Let us know, because things had
to change. Things have to change. Yeah, everybody agrees what
is the change? Well you'll have to wait and see
on Monday night. Okay, wait and see on Monday night
as you host the Buffalo Bills. And it's so Jetsy
and that they could you know, they would win that game,
(27:16):
and then you would go, Okay, where's this been? Why
can't you do that weekend and week out? But they
are a two point underdog at home. All right, we'll
get phone calls coming up. Poll question, Seaton, what are
we going to go with first hour?
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Well, we got a lot of options. I can tell
you that. Well, okay, from the t O dub on
his birthday, we have some options. He said, do you
believe Aaron Rodgers had nothing to do with Robert Salah
getting fired?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You know what I do?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Or absolutely not? Are your two options? Okay, we have
an offshoot of that. Just when Aaron Rodgers says he
has nothing to do with Robert Salad getting fired, you
should dot dot dot take him at his word or
do your own research.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh wow, a little callback there, a little little research,
do your back.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
You can take the expert at his word or do
your own research, whichever you want. We could save that
for hour two. Perhaps get Chris Burman's thoughts on that.
How about we switch over to baseball. How do you
prefer your home run celebrations?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Stand? Well, we saw this with Francisco Lindor hit a
grand slam and he was business like I.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Was pretty baller, got to admit that was it, but
it was different.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's why it stood out. It's like when Barry Sanders
would score a touchdown, he'd hand the ball to the official.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
It almost had this like air of like not even
like why are you guys surprised, but like, yeah, of
course I just did that. That's what I do.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yes, they pay me some. They pay me three hundred
million dollars to do that.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I did like it. But then you juxtapose that with
the Padres and how they celebrate, and I think there's
those spirited moments that you get caught up in it.
But Francisco Lindor was that's just business. It's almost like
he had a suitcase that he was going to work
as he rounded the bases, and I thought it was
(29:20):
pretty cool to see. So it is Fritzi's birthday ten ten,
and Brett farre is a ten tenor.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Yes, same day, any same year?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Any other famous people born on Okay, is there somebody
that Fritzie is more famous than on the famous list
of people born on ten tens? Okay?
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I have a pretty good list that I go to
for this, and it's pretty comprehensive. I'll start naming names.
You yell, and Fritzie's more famous in them, all right,
David Lee Roth, actor Bradley Whitford from the West Wing.
Now if I have to say the West Wing, but
I think everyone knows who Bradley Whitford is.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Yes, Mario Lopez.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Okay, So if you change this from more famous to
more relevant, is right at the top of this list
on all those on TV every day. I'm just saying
to you.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I appreciate that. Bozy bozy bop.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Okay, Okay, I mean you're David Lee Roth is better
than your Don tru Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
All right.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Now, if you have to say who's that, that's a
good actress Amy t Garden, who does not know who
she is. I don't know who she she was the
daughter on Friday Night Lights, I would say Fritzie is
more famous currently. Yes, let's see actress Julia Sweeney from SNL.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yeah, Todd's definitely more fair.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Wow, this is nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
That's her Dale ear and her junior.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
More relevant?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
WHOA what are you doing? You can't do that to you.
You're just kidding.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
It's just a joke.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
You don't want that fan based on manage. Yeah, no,
you don't, you do not of course. Brett Farvara, Yeah,
who's having a better year Todd? Okay, like different.

no sense.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Check this out now of the pits sware going to
drive towards the Capitolight Center. It's pretty deep. It's back
there the wall. It's gone. It's gone. Francesco Lindor. He
may have just outdone himself. He has head up ground slam.
The Mets are lading by a start of.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Four to one.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That's courtesy of the Mets radio network, Howie Rose with

did hear the following, Man, Mets started out oh and
five this season. There's one hundred and sixty two games.
I mean, that's not monumental that they over Oh my god,
they lost their first five games. Wow, that would like
(34:38):
be trailing at the end of the first quarter of
one football game.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
Correct, right, Yes, five games would be like one third
of one percent of the season.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I don't know how they did it. They started out
oh and five from the depths. Wow, man, you turned
it around. That's incredible. I had a couple of phone
calls in here. Doug in North Carolina leads us off. Hi, Doug,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (35:04):
Well, Dan, I want to do a little experiment and
hopefully this will work to prove a point. If I'm
going to ask you three really quick questions, just give
me the first names that pop into your mind. If
I said the Kansas City Chiefs, who's the first person
you think of?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Patrick Mahomes Exactly?
Speaker 13 (35:20):
If I said the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Bills, Josh Allen.
Speaker 13 (35:25):
Okay, Now, if I said the Detroit Lions, who's the
first person you think of?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well, I know you think I'm going to say Dan Campbell,
but I would think of Jared Goff.
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Uh See, I think most people would think of Dan Campbell.
And I think the Lions are the only team maybe
in my lifetime, maybe going back to Mike Dicko, where
the coach is the identity of the team. I don't
think here Golf has a personality of a cardboard box.
I don't think people think of him well.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
He has played well, played well. Last year they almost
went to the super Bowl. So I get what you're
saying that we have a lot of teams. College basketball
is full of the coach is the recognizable person. But yeah,
Dan Campbell's personality, Yes, his personality is a whole lot
better than Jared Goff. I'm just looking at the success
(36:13):
of this team. Might hinge on Jared Goff. Patrick Mahomes
in conjunction with Andy Reid, Josh Allen a standalone. Sean
McDermott's name usually comes up when he's on the hot
seat or you know something's happened or play calling is bad.
But yeah, there's a few of those coaches. Sean mcvay's name,
(36:34):
you know, Jim Harbaugh, John Harball, not as much because
that's Lamar Jackson. Trying to think if there's any other coaches,
I mean Nick Sirianni comes to mind only because he's
on the hot seat Dallas. If you think Jerry Jones,
(36:55):
like the Dallas MAVs. You used to think Mark Cuban,
you know, now it's Luca. But there's quite a few
coaches that do stand out. Anybody at Alabama when Saban
was there, it was Nick Saban, uh Dabo Sween, Dabo
uh Sweeney. Yeah. At Clemson, Yeah, so there's quite a
(37:17):
few of those, But when it comes to the personality
of an NFL team, Yeah, there's a very few coaches
that probably stand out. Yeah, Paul, the.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
One that popped in my head would be the mid
eighties New York Giants. Parcels was bigger and more famous.
Speaker 8 (37:31):
Than Phil Simms. Yes, nationally, I think so, Yeah, you
covered them.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yep, the Packers with Vince Lombardi. Shula was always you know, omnipresident,
George Hallis with the Bears, Landry with the Cowboys. Yeah,
there's been quite a few coaches that are you know,
they're the figurehead that they're the person you think of.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
Yes, would you have thought of Lawrence Taylor in that
team first?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Maybe maybe well before Phil Simms, Yes, yeah, it'd be
Bill Parcells and or Lawrence Taylor. I mean Parcells, you
can't underestimate his presence definitely in New York on that team.
I mean he was the press conferences. Yeah, I mean
(38:17):
Bob Knight, every team that he coached, it was Bob
Knight coaching. Even John Wooden had Bill Walton, leu Al
Sindor is still John Wooden. So there's yeah, sports history
littered with the coaches who are more important or name recognition, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
John Gruden with the Buccaneers.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah, okay, yeah yeah, let me see what else do
we have here? David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
your mind today? Yeah?
Speaker 12 (38:44):
I just wanted to wish Todd a happy birthday, and
I was wondering if he was sure if anyone was
going to show up to his birthday party.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Thank you?
Speaker 8 (38:52):
Oh call back.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
He wasn't even sure if he should have shown up.
I'd still say, that's doctor. I cannot believe that's how
I slushed my.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Essays like that.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
You did it this morning.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
I did do it.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I felt it too as I was saying it, and
Seaton called me out of this.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
I tried to talk too fast. I talk too slow.
Drink more, drink less, don't shove a half of roast
beef sawers in my mouth right before talking.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
That could be a problem as well. You know what,
let me hear it one more time, Marvin, just to
make sure that I he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Even sure if he should have shown up. That's very
upsetting to listen to, very disturbing.
Speaker 8 (39:31):
I find it entertaining.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, yeah, it's like speech.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Impediments slash mild stroke. I don't know. That's just really
upsetting to listen back to that.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
I don't think it's a mild stroke. I just think
that you you get going and your your tongue and
your mouth and your words, your brain.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
That's a significant slushing of ass.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
You don't you don't hear yourself.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
And my wife said, because he's in reading and teaches
you know, speech and things like that, and it's like,
I'm hesitant to say anything that has an es an
shud because it just sounds terrible.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Okay, exactly.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
You know, there's something I can think a little kid
would have. And I'm fifty five today and I'm still
doing that with my.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oh today's your birthday, birthday, birthday sixty nine. Yeah, that's great, Yeah,
happy birthday. Yeah. We did order a cake. We'll see
if we Yeah, we did. Thought I'm gonna see if
I can get an ice cream cake. And I don't
know if I can get a Denver Bronco cake.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
You know what, whatever you get I will be happy
with as long as I'm not asked to cut the cake.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
No, No, it's always good.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
For We're not doing that PAULI always made that show yes,
and thought that was very fun, except for the.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Fact that I can't cut a cake or sweep or
cut down a natter. You scissors and many of you.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
No, no, no, we're not doing that today. Don't. We're not
feeling for it. No, we're not feeling sorry for you.
It's your birthday. You're gonna screw it up. We don't
have to.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
I will find something else to show my incompetence about itself.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Chris Berman is going to join us, coming up next.
