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 Thursday, Dan and the Danett's
Dan Patrick Show still down to Danette seating on the mend.
Hope to have him back, if not tomorrow, then next week.
But Todd says he will do the double duty. You're
going to do the work of two men today.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I'm a team player like that.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yes, we're gonna get it done. We're going to get
and it's the I Team. It's your team and no
one else else. The Minister of Humor, Marvin is here,
Pauli's here, yours truly, and the brg's stat of the Day,
as always brought to you by Panini America, the official
trading cards of the program, got to play the day
poll question, stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming.
Good morning, you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for allowing

now Paninia America dot Net. A little bit later on,
our good buddy Nick Wright from Fox Sports will stop by.
Former NFLGM Mike Tannenbaum at the Mothership will stop by
as well. I don't want to hear the complaints. I
don't want to hear you give it hot. I did

(01:30):
because I love the wild card format. I love the
best of three because I get tension. This is what
baseball needs, its tension. It's immediate. And if your team
got bounced, I don't want to hear you got one
hundred and sixty two games to alter getting in the

(01:51):
or you know, getting out of the wild card position,
and you host all three games. If it goes to three,
you host all three. Milwaukee gets to host all Houston
was going to host all three, Baltimore was hosting all three.
They got bounced. I love it. Tigers advance, the Royals advance,

(02:12):
Padres get the Dodgers. I love it. I think it's great.
You got the Brewers and you got the Mets coming
up later on tonight. And I know it's opposite football.
And it felt like they tried to cram in the
wild card round, so it'd be like a week and
then you get ready to start coming up this weekend.
I love it. Baseball needs must see TV needs tension.

(02:35):
You need to watch every game is going to matter.
You win that first game on the road. Now you
got that home team on the ropes, and we saw them.
We got to see the Tigers do that to the
Astros and the Kansas City Royals, who might have of
pitching staffs, the two best starting pitchers on a pitching staff.

(02:57):
Now it gets dicey with every rotation after that. But
it used to be that was the formula. You had
two hammers and then you had some timely hitting, some
good defense, a decent closer. You were good to go.
And you start to look at the payroll disparity and
it's really remarkable. I'm watching the Astros game, and you know,

(03:18):
here's the Tigers in twenty twenty four. Their payroll eighteen
point eight million dollars. No no, no, no, no, the whole team. Yeah,
their twenty six man roster cost eighteen point eight million
dollars in twenty twenty four, the Astros reliever Josh Hayter.

(03:42):
He makes nineteen million dollars a year woo stead of
a day, stant a day, statuta day, stant outa day.
This is the Stele of the day. Teams who didn't
advance the Astros two hundred and thirty six million, Braves

(04:05):
two hundred and seventeen million, the Oriels ninety four million.
The Padres advance there were one hundred and sixty two million,
the Royals at one hundred and fifteen million. You get
these young teams, that's what's fun. They don't know, they
don't know any better. And the fact that you have
the Tigers manager Aj Hinch going back to Houston to
knock out the Astros. I thought it was great. It

(04:29):
was fun. There was tension, there was excitement. There's heroes.
I mean, you got Jackson Cheerio had two home runs.
His bat looks as quick as Barry Bonds, he's twenty
years of age. A couple of opposite field home runs,
and now you have Game three coming up with Milwaukee

(04:51):
and the Mets. I love it. Thought it was great.
It was exciting, and I haven't been able to say
that for a while. You know, season is so long,
and look, we don't complain about March madness. When the
number one seeded team gets bounced in the second round,
we don't go that's not fair. There should be a

(05:11):
best of five or bet it's one baseball, you get
three basketball, one and done. If the NBA did this,
if they did a best of three, I'd be in
favor of it. I think it would be great. Even
best of five. The playoffs take forever. That's where you

(05:33):
get everybody's attention. I mean, you're gonna hear it in
my voice. This was fun. I really enjoyed it. And yes,
you lose. The Astros, would I like to see them
still be in there? Yes, because they're easy to root against.
The Braves were banged up. The Orioles are just not
a good postseason team. But the Tigers in Royals, the

(05:54):
Padres are so dangerous. Now you got the Dodgers, We
get Otani on a big stage. Get to see Bobby
Witt Junior, the third who might be the fastest player
in the game, should be the runner up to judge
for MVP. It's fun, it's fun. I wish we could
have seen Chris Saale. He's gonna win the cy Young
scooball with the Tigers. He's gonna win the cy Young.

(06:17):
It's fun, it's good, it's drama. Loved it. Yes, Todd,
I'm okay.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
With the best of three in the first round.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Two, But you like that the home that one team
gets all home field games. Like, what if you're a team,
you're rooting for a team and it's been many years
since they've reached the playoffs. You don't get a chance
to see them one time in game two, and you
still get the deciding Game three back at your place.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Well, well, if you're good enough, you see him in
the next round, and you can see him a couple
of times in the next round. There's one hundred and
sixty two games. Okay, it This isn't like you know, hey,
two months, it's it's six months. It's not the NCAA tournament.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's a difference between home field advantage and having all
the games at home.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
To me, I would like to have seen a the
Mets going home to host this game tonight, build up
the tension. I would like to have seen that, But
you would have had to have them play on Friday,
and then you have games starting on Saturday. So I
think they crammed in the wild card best of three,
and yes, would I'd like to have seen the team

(07:18):
that wins two on the road or one on the
road be able to come back home. Yeah, I would,
just to build up the tension. But here we are.
You know, best of three, you're at home. You get
to host all three, no excuses, no excuses.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yes, Marv and these wildcard teams should be grateful because
if this was thirty five years ago, you're not even.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
In the playoffs too. Yes, yes, yes, we've created all
of these playoff spots, playoff scenarios. Man used to be
if you won the American League, then you got to
go to the World Series, or you won the National League,
you get to go to the World Series. I mean,
we're creating all of these playoff berths here. So the
Tigers close out the Astros, Royals close out the Orioles,

(07:59):
pod close out the Braves, and you got the Brewers
and Mets coming up tonight. We do have football. It's
the Buccaneers at the Falcons. All right, I'm good, I'm good.
NFC South Inner Division Kirk d. Cousins Mister Primetime against
Baker Mayfield Junior. The third Buccaneers, according to DraftKings, are
getting one and a half against the pesky Falcons. Marvin

(08:24):
all right, I have a poll question. If you can watch.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Wow, this might be a first come on, get up wow.
Marvin all right, So if you can only watch one game, okay,
Mets Brewers tonight's Thursday night football game? Was that Buccaneers Falcons?
It still is Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
The fact that you couldn't remember it is very telling to.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
What you should watch.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
Maybe that's a tough question. You got to completely ignore
the other one. It's not a flip back situation.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Is it really a question? One is for all the
marbles to move on to the next round of the playoffs,
and one's a week.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Five the World Series. Still all the marble of.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
The marbles, the next round of the playoffs on the line.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Five one marble, I think I think. Oh it to baseball, Yeah,
I think so. I think so. I would tune in
just to watch Jackson Turio. I would tune in just
to see you get a big He's twenty reminded me
of Andrew Jones. Was that nineteen ninety six Andrew Jones?

(09:28):
I know that's a deep poll, but it feels like
didn't he have? He kind of had a coming out
party in nineteen ninety six for the Braves. Let me see, uh,
youngest player to hit multiple home runs in a playoff
game since nineteen year old Andrew Jones did it in
the nineteen ninety six World Series.

Speaker 8 (09:48):
Statam the Dang start him name Statam the name start
of the big Statu to day start things, Stir.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Out of the Today. Bronch You Blond, Panini America the
official trading cards of the program. Yes, Paul, I'm looking
at all the headlines.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Tigers beat the Astros two zero, Royals two oh over
the Oioles. I don't see the word sweep. Do you
use the word sweep in a three game series or
is that saved for the seven game series?

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I guess you could say swept them? Did they how
about a well? How many does it take to constitute
a sweep?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Four?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh? Is a sweep? Isn't that? Well, that's what we're down.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
We're used to that, so like a mini sweep a room,
but they got roomba or something or brushed off.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yes, I think it has to be at least a
best of five series to be a sweep. I've heard
the term sweep us they won two games, it seems
short of a sweep. They won, they won and advanced.
I don't know if I would refer to as a.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Sweep, so just like a one like a swifter. Yeah,
I know, And nobody knows less about sweeping than you do.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
That is very true, all the more reason why I
try to stay away from the word sweep if possible.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
And you weren't joking that day when you you did
not know how to use a broom.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I was doing it exactly the way I thought it
should be used. I wasn't looking for any comic relief
for it to.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
No, you you gave comic relief. You had never used
a broom before.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
I ultimately got it done. It think I got the
crumbs and stuff on the foot together.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
It was, we had confetti and you were using the
broom like a shuffle ba.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
It took about two and a half hours longer than
it needed to based on the way I you.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Had never used a broom, and before.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
That I used one of those I don't know what
you call it, like a vacuum type.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
But no, I'm saying once again, yeah, broom. You've never
used a broom up until that point, I.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Think that's fair. I don't think I used the broomer.
It was always like a fifty.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Year old man had never used a broom I.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Waited for the dustbuster to be invented and just plug
that thing in and you got the battery operated.

Speaker 7 (11:47):
But you'd never been like in your garage, and I
gotta sweep up real quick. You don't use a dustbuster
or like your mom says, a brush off the back deck.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
You grabbed the broom and just give it a sweet.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
If there's leaves or something, I'll open up the thing
and hope the wind eventually'll blow the leaves out there
and take its course, so I.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Don't need to do that.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's like you were just dropped on this planet.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I couldn't cut the net with the scissors.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I had a lot of pride you you didn't know
how to use scissors.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Because they weren't left the scissors. But that's besides the stop.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I've never picked up scissors and go are these right
handed scissors?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
They make lefty scissors. It has to be a reason
for that. There's no excuse.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
I should have figured out a way to still cut it.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's still of all the things we've done on this
show all the years we've been together. That might be
a top fiver for me that you did not know
how to use im brutally.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
There's a lot of very bright academics in the world,
and I'd like to consider myself one as far as
at least I got good grades.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
That can't really talk society.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I know I can't call you bright. You're not Stephen
Hawking here.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
I did very well in school. But then when it
comes to you now.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
To memorize things, todd you're memorize it. That doesn't make
you bright.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
I think I'm intelligent, I'm creative, But as far as
you know, just everyday life, I get confused real quick.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
How could a broom confuse you?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Just look like, wait a second? Do I push?

Speaker 9 (13:05):
Paul?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Move with this one.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
We can't use left handed scissors as an excuse because
I'm left handed.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, I know how to.

Speaker 7 (13:12):
Use scissors, because you're a person and he's got smaller
hands than you.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
I thought this was about to hard to put things.
I was always bad with that in my elementary school
art class. The line I never used a broom, I
don't think I did. I await missed the broom being used. Obviously,
I didn't take the copper notes about how to do it.
I wasn't paying close appetites.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
And then Holy's birthday cake. You were cutting the cake
while the cake was still in the box.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I've been known to make things more competient you.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
And you destroyed the cake.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah. I made like a big snowball out of it.
I just kind of crushed.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Absolutely fascinating the work in progress for me. Thursday night
football talk about that with Baker Mayfield and mister Primetime
Kirk the Cousins a phone call eight seven seven three
d P show. Also a sports invention, a sports invention
that we just invented this morning. We'll have that for

(14:09):
you coming up, Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

Speaker 2 (14:24):
We do have college football coming up tonight, Texas State
against Troy Lego. I don't know, huh. I love the randos,
Oh Sam Houston versus Texas ol Paso. Is Texas State
becoming like a legit. I'm not gonna say powerhouse. I'm

(14:44):
just saying, because normally you would hear that and you
go Texas State, Texas State. Haven't they been a thing
here for the last couple of years.

Speaker 7 (14:54):
Yeah, there's been talk about them bumping up a little bit.
I think, David, I'm.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Acquiring some money talk about that being jumped up to
a bigger conference. Okay. By the way, I talked to
a scout NFL scout yesterday and we were talking about
a variety of things. Because he watches a lot of tape,
he goes see teams in person. And he called me
he said, hey, get ahead of the curve. Jalen Milroe

(15:20):
is a better throwing Lamar Jackson. Then I go, okay,
all right, and he said the jump from last year
to this year is remarkable. Now he's a junior, so
he could come out after this year. But I was
told by an NFL scout that Jalen Milroe is a

(15:43):
better throwing Lamar Jackson. He's a great deep ball thrower.
And I said, okay, you got me there. Now duly
noted there, Yes, Paul.

Speaker 7 (15:54):
Jalen Milroe last year had twenty three touchdowns and six picks.
He was briefly benched and then came back, I can
tore it up. This year so far, he's a seventy
three percent passer, ten touchdowns, one interception. He's also running
for sixty eight yards per game this year. Last year
he ran for forty one yards per game.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, I don't know if he's going to stay for
his senior year. I did ask the NFL scout. I said,
what is the consensus for arch Manning? And he said,
we're looking at him, that he's going to stay four
years at Texas. And I said, could you see a
scenario where Dion and Shador Sanders. Let's say Carolina has

(16:35):
the pick and Shador Sanders is there. Now you can
move on from Bryce Young. And I said, could you
see a scenario where Dion goes, he's not going to
play for that owner. He's not going to play for
that team. And the NFL scout said, I heard you
say that on your show. I haven't heard anything, but
I will say some of his friends scouts who go

(16:58):
into Colorado as it's wild. He says, it's wild there.
You're trying to assess and he goes, I don't want
to get into it too deeply, but it's quite an
atmosphere there and he said, you know, shore doors attitude
might turn off some people. He said, it didn't mean
he goes. I love that he's confident, just like Dion was.

(17:19):
If you can back it up, you can have a
Hall of Fame career. But just some random notes there
from an NFL scout who's contributed to this show, you know,
over the years, but calling me up about Jalen Milroe.
I was like, wow, you're calling me because we normally
just text. And he was telling me he's all in
on Jalen Milroe. And you know, just you know, you

(17:42):
sit there and you break down film. That's what he's doing.
He's breaking down film. And I think went to see
one of the games, yes, Paul.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
Sometimes I think when you hear a college quarterbacks name
as a legit pro prospect, that you kind of cringe
back and say, that guy, he's more of a runner.
But if you will go back six years when Jaylen
Hurts was at Alabama, nobody was talking about him playing
professional football. He had to go to Oklahoma and showcase
himself for that chance. And even then, you could look
at the draft profile. Jalen Hurts high end, backup, curveball

(18:12):
off the bench, you know that no one saw it.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I still don't see it. But that's shit ish. Yes,
once again, he had one of the great Super Bowls
that a quarterback has ever had, and he had a
great season. And maybe it's just the conflict between him
and his coach not on the same page. If you're
not on the same page, turn the page. Maybe it's

(18:37):
a little bit better because Jalen Hurts is going to
be there. I don't know if Nick Sirianni is going
to be there. All right, you got two good teams tonight.
Are either one of these teams, the Falcons or the
Buccaneers threatening now? And I'm talking about either one NFC
title teams NFC title game threatening? And I do think

(19:01):
that Tampa is I think we got to get back
to And maybe you didn't say it before. Baker Mayfield too,
he's a really good quarterback. I think that it was
like number one pick played well and then all of
a sudden it went downhill from there. But he had
twenty eight touchdowns, they had a road playoff win, and

(19:23):
he's played well so far this season. Are we ready
to say he's a good quarterback? Is he a really
good quarterback? How about we do inter round bonus in
or arount. Baker Mayfield really good quarterback in Marvin's in Paul.
I'm really in, Todd. Yes, okay, it's in or out.

(19:45):
It's not yesterday.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Okay, in just give me a broom and let me
figure out.

Speaker 7 (19:51):
Okay, Baker Mayfield so far this year in four games,
one thousand yards, seventy percent passer, eight touchdowns, two picks. Okay,
I'm not math guy, but that's like thirty seven touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, if you pro rate that. Okay, what would be
the the guy that he's better than? Is he better
than Kirk Cousins? Is there more upside over the next
few years? Yes, well, Kirk is older, yeah, and coming
off Achilles. I think he's better twenty nine years old.

(20:28):
I think he's better. I think he got humbled and
I think he kind of aside from saying, you know,
the atmosphere in Tampa is a whole lot better, more
relaxed than when Tom was there, that was not a
good comment, but I think he's I think he's settled
in as a really good quarterback.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yes, Todd, what what do you need to do to
be considered a great quarterback?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
How do you jump from really to a super Bowl,
really get to a super Bowl. I think with that
team now they have a Hall of Fame wide receiver.
But no, they're a good team. They're they're a competitive team,
and I think he's starting to kind of figure it
out a little bit there.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yes, Okay, hypothetical, you have a good team this year
and you have to place a quarterback this year on
your team, it's Baker Mayfield or Baker Mayfield or Jared Goff.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm gonna take Jared Goff. Yeah but you paused. Yeah, Yeah,
I'm gonna take Jared Goff, Jared Baker Mayfield or Aaron
Rodgers one year. This season, Well, I have the Jets
going to the super Bowl, so I'm gonna I'll I've
seen the high end of Rogers. I haven't seen anywhere

(21:49):
near that high end from Baker Mayfield. Maybe Aaron Rodgers
has a little bit more magic dust there to sprinkle.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
Who else, Baker Mayfield or Brock Purty to whatever team
you have, you plug them in a quarterback for one year.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
I would say Brock Purdy. I mean I really believe
that he is. He's really good at knowing what to do.
I think he can't do everything, but what he does,
he does it at a really high level. And I know,
if he's a first round draft pick, we're not even
having this conversation. The fact that he was mister irrelevant.

(22:32):
It's like, wow, he all these other teams passed Oni. Yeah,
that's true, But I would say I would take brock perty.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
I give you three other quarterbacks, wow as a group, Okay,
DeShawn Watson, Trevor Lawrence or twa when healthy, or Baker Maye.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I would take Baker Mayfield. That's something. Yeah. Was there
some guys with some big contracts? Yeah, I know, I
know that's part of the problem here. There's some big
contracts there. And still trying to figure out when Tua
comes out comes back. He's out at least through week seven.
He was placed on the ir The Dolphins are on
a bye week week six, so the earliest he can

(23:12):
come back is Week eight against the Arizona Cardinals. He
has to be cleared by the team doctor and then
another doctor, not a league appointed doctor, but an independent doctor,
So two different doctors, not just the Dolphins doctor. There
has to be another doctor to clear him. At least

(23:34):
that's what I was told this morning. They could be
a seller at the trade deadline November fifth. I'm going
to guess he's gonna be cleared to play in this.
I know it comes off as insensitive or callous. I

(23:55):
have to look at this all angles. Yes, we want
to to be healthy. Yes, I hope he lives to
be a hunt hundred, all of those things. He's playing
a sport that is inherently dangerous. We all know that
you sign up for that. So the fact that the
Dolphins extended him and thought, okay, he's had what three

(24:17):
maybe four concussions over the span of what thirty five
games in his career, is that a fairer that's about right. Okay,
so you're gonna sign up somebody long term and then
you're gonna hold your breath for four years that they're
not going to have Let's say he plays seventy more games.
That's what he's under contract for seventy more games, and

(24:41):
you're gonna sign him up and go, we're gonna believe
that he's not going to have another concussion. I mean,
that's crazy, crazy, but that's what they did, and that's
why they're in this situation. And even if he does
come back and he's he's cleared to play, you are
going to hold your breath the rest of his career. Crazy, crazy,

(25:07):
But that's where that's why they're in the position that
they're in. I'm glad he got a contract, He's played well,
he's a nice kid, met his family, all of those things,
and I hope he has a long life. But I
have to look at this also from the football aspect. Here,
the Dolphins are in a horrible situation. They're best defenders

(25:30):
out for the year. I'm waiting for Tyreek Hill to start,
you know, grumbling or Jalen Waddle. Obj is just coming back,
and now you don't have a really good backup, you
don't have a starter. He's going to come back. I
know he took jiu jitsu and learned how to fall.

(25:52):
How did that help him when he took on Tomorrow Hamlin?

Speaker 3 (25:55):
It didn't.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
So I mean that that is a really and if
you're the NFL, I have to believe the NFL doesn't
want to or to come back because they don't want
this on display. I mean, that is the cold, harsh
reality of this situation. If he comes back, he's going

(26:20):
to get paid. If he's not medically cleared, he gets paid.
I'm guessing at his age that he's going to find
somebody who's going to clear. Does the NFL want to
to be cleared? They don't want him out there suffering
another concussion. But you're going to hold your breath for

(26:41):
seventy more games, all right. So back to Baker Mayfield,
Kirk d Cousins. I think it's a fun matchup tonight
in the Division and Tampa Bay is favored or no,
getting one and a half against the pesky Falcons. So
the polk questions, tod what do we have today?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
We have several. First one we were looking at.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Marvin mentioned also you can only watch one Bucks, Falcons
or Mets Brewers.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
That's the one we can now.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Also look at Paulie has what would be the best
story your team to win the World Series?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Tigers, Royals, Padres, Brewers, Mets.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Of those five, the best story.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Detroit, Kansas City, San Diego, Milwaukee, New York Mets.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Yes, Marvin, I can't say Royals because people forget they
won the World Series in twenty fifteen, so I think
they're out. Okay, Padres, I'm going to say they've never
won one.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, I think even though they're a really good team, Yes,
but they're not an underdog like the Tigers or the Royals.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Vadim of Chatl's making eight hundred.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, and they got rid of Soto. I mean they
they had a well. I thought that they were there
two years ago and now you got the Dodgers, so
that that's a great matchup. I would say the Padres
would be the great story because that team has come

(28:06):
close twice, you know, in a the memory of Tony Gwynn,
Dave Winfield, Mike Ivy, Fred Norman, I go back so
far with the Padres. It was I would go. I
always got tickets to the Reds against the Padres because
the Padres were so bad. They were always tickets that

(28:29):
were available if you were a straight A student, which
I wasn't, but I had friends who were. They would
get tickets and we'd always be sitting in center field
for the Padres. You got straight a spillover, Yes I did. Yeah.
Nate Colbert, like, there were so many guys. Awesome, we're
not running down though.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Randy Jones, guy, he was fun to watch.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Bick. Yeah, they won a cy Young it's your fault
you brought up eighties. I know, I did, I did.
I'm bringing up seventies Padres, Gary Templeton, Yeah, thank you, Todd. Okay,
let me see, Okay, do we want to do the
good idea, bad idea? Sports invention? We can do that
or save it. Let's save it. Let me get a
couple of phone calls. Here, settle on a poll question.

(29:10):
Fritzy's got the honors today, Kurt and Oregon. Hey Kurt,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 10 (29:16):
Hey guys, Speaking of Fritzi, you brought him up quite
a bit in the first segment, and I wanted to
give you my idea. I've had this idea for a
little while. Remember when Prince Harry did pay per view therapy.
I feel like you could make a killing doing a
series of therapy sessions with Todd. I think it would

(29:38):
be fascinating to be perfectly honest, and I have a
run time for Fritzy. Clueless booker, clueless booker.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
Uh, ditzy Fritzy.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
That it. Wow, that's nice. K got that little too quick.
I don't know what that's means.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Would you allow us to have you do therapy? And
then we had a camera for that therapy, so we probably.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Have to do it here. I'm I'm an open book.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
We couldn't really do it at doctor's office because a
patient doctor patient privilege or whatever. As far as an
actual office, I don't know if they would even okay
that in an actual doctor's office. But if you put
me on the couch in the back and you guys
want to ask me questions.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
I oh no, no, I'm not a therapist, like a
certified therapist. I mean I already know who you. Yes, Paul,
I thought Todd was going to demand a female therapist.
I thought that's the first thing.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
I thought that was a given.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Drew in Missouri, I Drew, what's on your mind?

Speaker 9 (30:40):
Abp the sixty one three fifteen formerly five to fifteen,
So still deflating, nice, I have so piggybacking on previous
caller and from the first segment speaking of old Todd's
all of his quirky scissors and sweeping habits. Now that
you've announced your retirement in the future, I've wondered, would

(31:02):
you ever consider, in your last weeks or months, bring
in the spouses of you five and let them either
do like Todd's wife do his job, your wife host
or you get over them sit there with you so
callers can call in maybe or you guys could share
stories of each of you guys to let us that

(31:23):
have been with you from the beginning get a little
last insight to you guys, and maybe your families that
we've kind of grown up with.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I would, I would consider it. I would maybe the
last month, maybe we would have our wives in here
and maybe have a roundtable discussion. I don't know. Maybe
maybe it'd be something we would tape after the show
and then I would put it up on the website
and then let you because I still have to do
a show. And if you were that interested, then you know,

(31:53):
we would let you watch that on Danpatrick dot com.
By the way, Gambling podcast later today and we'll have
the whole crew here. Bad Larry Shane Irving, Dylan the
graphics Gun Dylan in California. Hi Dyl, what's on your
mind today? Born in DC?

Speaker 11 (32:11):
Dans Hey question some thoughts.

Speaker 9 (32:14):
For you guys.

Speaker 11 (32:15):
Wanted to get your ideas. So if steroids weren't a
part of the legacy of a Barry Bonds, MARKA Fuiars
and Sosa Aronold when we look at Aaron Judge the
same way. And on the flip side, if it somehow
turned out that Judge took PD the time when he
knew he wouldn't be tested and the drugs did register
or whatever what have you, uh, would we think of

(32:36):
him the same? And also, Trippy good luck on being
able to use a room in the future.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
I appreciate that, Dylan.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I'm going to work on that, all right. Thank you, Dylan,
thanks for the phone call. I think the testing is
really good. It feels like they have a really good
testing program. When's the last time. Now we do get
some pictures, it feels like or somebody comes in and
spring training, maybe younger players, but you know, unless they

(33:04):
know how to circumvent this, which I don't rule that out,
but it feels like the testing program is pretty good
in Major League Baseball. All right, let me take a
break the sports invention that we have to decide good
idea bad idea.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Wapp Oh my god, the play of the day. My god,
this is the play of the day.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Check this out.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Peter wirks third base side place set right foot in
front of the left when he sets the one too
swing the line crack on the left field line looking
for the corner.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
They're all up against the wall.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Barrel Ling is in, Turkleson is in.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
They're waving you home.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Turkle cent around thirty will score help. Voners ends up
on third. It's a three run juggle and the Tigers
take up Part two late in the eighth courtesy the
Tigers Radio Network. That puts an end to the Houston
Astro streak of playing in seven consecutive ALCSS. That's your

(34:18):
play of the day, brought to you by tire rack
dot com, the official tire expert of the DP show.
Go to tire rack dot com slash Dan try the
Tire Decision Guide. See the full lineup of Perelli tires
special offers, free roadh hazard protection, mobile tire installation. Tire
rack dot Com the way tire buying should be. Here's
something for you. Best stats in the NFL since the

(34:39):
start of last season, so this is the last twenty
one games played. Dak Prescott forty two touchdowns, eleven interceptions.
Baker Mayfield thirty six touchdowns, twelve interceptions. By comparison, Jordan
Love thirty eight touchdown passes, fifteen interceptions, Josh Allen thirty
six touchdowns, eighteen interceptions, Rock Purty thirty six touchdowns, thirteen interceptions.

(35:07):
So that's that's a full sample size. That's twenty one
games here with their respective teams. Dak Prescott forty two
and eleven. We are going to have football, whether it's
college or pro, the next fifty five consecutive days. That's
eight weeks, I think? Is it every day? Tuesday, Wednesday,

(35:32):
obviously Thursday. We've had Friday night, you got Saturday, you
got Sunday, you got Monday. Is maction starting on Tuesday's PAULI?

Speaker 7 (35:40):
No, Usually maction is more mid October Okay to late Okay.
Some sources have just confirmed to me or told me
that Florida International plays Liberty on CBS Sports Network Tuesday,
and then New Mexico State versus Jacksonville State, Okay Wednesday
on ESPN two.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
So that would cover those two days of football. Okay,
all right? Huh so fifty five consecutive days that we
will have football. Great country. Yeah, that's America. That's how
it should be, right, Yeah, people want to know if
we can do a combine here for Fritzy and it's

(36:21):
just doing daily chores.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
That's just mean spirit, that is.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
We had a couple of people who responded they would
like to see the Todd Fritz combine where we just
show you.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Ex humiliate myself further on national Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Do a pretty good job yourself, yes, Paul.

Speaker 7 (36:35):
Last year I assisted lightly. Fritzi was going to make
a pie original and then hit someone in the face
with it. He put the pie in the oven at
three point fifty for about an hour and then I go.
Fritz goes, what do I do next? I'm like, now
it's time to get it out of the oven. He
was reaching in with his bare hands grab the metal tin,
and I go, I scream, I'm gonna scream here, I
screamed Fritzy. And he was going in with his bare

(36:57):
hands to grab the hot tin that had been in
there for one hour.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
I guess they have these oven you know, third degree
burns on your fingers.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
There is no way your wife can leave you alone.
Very sad. It's very sad. Okay, here we go, good idea,
bad idea. How about some music? Okay, that's familiar. It
seems like we use that for now. This is original.
This is brand new for this show.

Speaker 7 (37:23):
So you know, when you're watching sports and you want
to switch to another sports program like or you're having
trouble finding it the baseball yesterday, weren't you?

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I was having a hard time finding Uh what was
the Orioles game? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (37:35):
Okay, So you either have to look it up on
different guides or look it up on your phone to
see which app it's on, et.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Cetera, et cetera, etc.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
So you know how everyone has Alexa, Alexa turn off
my stereo, whatever it may be. Some TV company should
built an app like Alexa and it takes you to
the game. You ask for no buttons, nothing, So you're
in the middle of the thing and you say put
on Brewers Mets and your tea takes you rapidly the
Brewers Mets. You don't have to switch from different apps.

(38:05):
This would be very much like Alexa.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Are you sure there isn't a smart TV that does this.

Speaker 7 (38:10):
There are a few smart TVs, and there's a few
things like direct TV and Fubo that have similar things.
But you ask for it and then it puts it
on the screen and you have to press buttons and
get there. I'm talking a rapid system. If you're hearing that,
Jackson Churio's up in the bottom of the ninth, I
gotta get to that game. Put on the Brewers game.
So we're calling it Haybro, Haybro. Yeah, hey Bro. Put

(38:33):
on the Brewers Mets like hey Bro.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
So instead of Alexa, it's Bro. Yes, hey Bro, yeah,
hey Bro.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
Put on the Niners game and it goes there as
rapid fire as it can, no pressing, no searching, and
this would be available as an app on all televisions,
so it wouldn't just be TCL or Sony.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah. I'm fine with that. Hey are you bad?

Speaker 9 (38:55):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Bro? I mean yeah, I like that a lot. Actually,
thank you to say.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Brewers game or Brewers. Maybe you can just cut it
down to one.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Or two words and oh you gotta go hey Bro.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Oh you say hey Bro, Brewers, Yes, hey Bro, Mets
and then knows that you meant the game.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
I mean, you don't have to do it so quickly.
You can say, hey Bro, Brewers Mets. Help her bro out. Yeah,
you got to help her brother out? Hebro, Hey Bro.

Speaker 7 (39:18):
Yeah, Well, like Alexa, you do a little pause. If
you want the Niners Chargers game, you go, heybro put
on Niners Chargers boom.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
You're there all in absolutely Uh. Dave in Minneapolis, Hi Dave.

Speaker 12 (39:32):
Good morning, And as I told the screener, I don't
care how any of you are doing. Thank you, Dave,
Hey couple things. Became a member of the Deceased Dad
club on July eighth. Okay, gave the gave the eulogy

(39:54):
at my dad's funeral, and it sucked. I did find
moments as I was writing it and rewriting it, saying
what would Dan say here? What would Dan?

Speaker 9 (40:05):
You know?

Speaker 12 (40:06):
Would he use humor? Here? Would he would.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
He rip on somebody? What would what would be his avenue?

Speaker 12 (40:11):
So I guess I channeled you for those long, long
five days.

Speaker 11 (40:17):
So thank you.

Speaker 12 (40:19):
Point two And not to beat a dead horse, but
you had Johnny Bench on the other day, and I'm
going to tell you this, when you interviewed him a
few years ago about Pete and not getting in the
Hall of Fame, and Johnny is probably one of the
kindest human beings you've ever had on the on on
the show, and when Johnny said we had a plan

(40:42):
in place, me and Concepcion and Joe Morgan. We met
with him and said, here's what you got to do, Man,
show contrition, pat a plan in place, Dave.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
I'm running out of Tome, but thank you for the
phone call. Hour two. On the way, Nick Wright will
stop by.
