Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the program. Gangs all here ready to go?
What is that every day?

Speaker 3 (00:12):
God damn, don't do.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
That short on sleep, low on morale. You know, I
have to I have to be honest with the audience
as I always am, and I have to be honest
with myself because that's where it starts. Be honest with yourself. First.
I think we're just in the hall of very good
with this show. I just it's official. Yeah, I think

(00:39):
we're just we're just a very good show. We lost that, well,
we didn't win last night NFL Live for the Mothership
one NFL Live with three hundred and fifty people working
on that show, and assumed, yeah, we come in. We
have a total of thirteen people work on this show.

(01:03):
And to make it even worse, it was the last
category of the night. That sucks, the last category of
the night. There's a woman who started the vacuum cleaner
before we even got the announcement. It's like, this is
this is going on a long time. We gotta win.

(01:24):
We gotta salvage this because we have two and a
half hours back. And that was even even more painful
than losing is to be on the bus for two
and a half hours in traffic, late at night and
Fritzie doing his stand up routine.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh my god, no, please don't.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I I'm not exaggerating.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Please, let's not do that again.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'm not exaggerating this. My wife turned to me and
she said, does he ever shut up? And I go, no,
you entertained the troops. I will say that we didn't
ask to be entertained himself. He did, for sure. I
don't think anybody responded to you. But that didn't stop

(02:06):
Todd from talking to himself, and he was singing songs
and he was a DJ at one point. Then he
was doing stand up and I just thought, you know,
we had a crushing loss. We just lost, and sometimes
it's okay if we just sit and just think about
our lives and our careers what could have been. And

(02:28):
then Todd made it even worse. But you know, we
got to see a lot of people and it was
fun going down. Although we're about, I don't know, forty
minutes away from the venue, and you know, the backroom
guys are drinking like they're on scholarship, like a're on
spring break, and I'm saying, hey, there's no bathroom on
this party bus. Next thing I know, Tyler, who answers

(02:52):
the phones, goes, I got to get off the bus.
I go, what's wrong? So we're over by Yankee Stadium.
There's no place to pull over, stuck in traffic. Yes,
and then Tyler goes, I gotta get off. I think
something's going to explode. And I go, what are you
talking about? He goes, I have to go to the bathroom.

(03:14):
He goes, I'll take an uber. I said, you're not
getting an uber in rush hour traffic. So I got him,
and then a couple more backroom guys. They're getting off
the bus and then taking a whiz. Tyler runs a
quarter of a mile to be under a bridge. He goes,
I'm shy, and I go, okay. So we finally I

(03:36):
get back, everybody back in. We get to the venue,
and then you know, Fritzie's going after the pigs in
a blanket. Then he spills his soda all over him.
Then he's wondering how he gets his stained out. We're
there at cocktail our time. We want to get a
picture on the red carpet, all of us. They wouldn't

(03:56):
let us get a picture on the red carpet. And
I'm thinking this is this doesn't bode well. I even
said to the person, I said, I'm nominated. Yeah, the
red carpets closed. I go, okay, so we were the
last category. Congratulations to the NFL. About a round of applause.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yea, our buddies.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Now, I thought there was going to be a big
payoff because David Hill, who was a genius behind Fox
Sports and a couple other networks around the world, he
was being honored. It was a lifetime achievement. And I
of course have told the story of Creameran's when I
met with him back in the mid nineties. I met
with him in Scottsdale, Arizona. Super Bowl is there a

(04:40):
Steelers Cowboys and he is interviewing me to host Fox's
pregame show. Had met with some of the other people
who worked on the show. They signed off on it.
I'm meeting with David. He wanted to meet with me.
So I'm there talking to him and then he gets
up after it's done. He goes two woodsfol you He's
all seem rints your hair it's too puffy. So I thought, okay,

(05:04):
Carissa Thompson's announcing the winner of our category Friend of
the Show. I got David Hill who called, you know,
said cream Rints. It's all lining up here, this is
going to be our night. Well, Carrisso announces NFL Live
and then all of a sudden, I see David Hill
after the event and I walk up to him and

(05:27):
I go, I got two words for you, kaream Rints.
And he looks up from his phone. He goes, I
know you, and I said, I said, yeah, you were
going to hire me, you know, for the Fox pregame show.
We met in the mid nineties in Arizona. And he goes,
don't remember that, and I go, no, no, no, no,

(05:48):
cream Rins. Remember you made fun of my hair? And
he goes, your your hair looks good. I go, I said,
cream Rant, So now I've completely embarrassed myself. And he goes,
well we did talk to Bob Custis. I said, of
course I did. Oh does that mean yeah? I go,
oh my god. So then my wife goes, how did

(06:12):
it go? I said, horrible? Horrible. He didn't get the joke.
I said, he doesn't even remember meeting with me. Did
he know who you were? I think. And then I
got Mario taking pictures of me walking up to him,
and then Fritzy walks up to him for some reason,
just say hello. And then we got on the bus

(06:33):
and then we went home, and then we're stuck in traffic.
It usually takes less than two hours. I think it
was two and a half hours. People trying to sleep,
Todd's entertaining standing up, singing, the whole.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Thing I had.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
It was this weird thing where like I kind of
fell asleep, but I was like in and out of sleep,
and I couldn't tell if I was having these nightmares
of Todd was like what he was really saying where he's.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Like this car is one bullion dollars.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'm like, what the hell is this guy talking about? Dude?

Speaker 6 (07:04):
What the hell am I dreaming this or just really happening?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Had we had a fun night. Yeah, there are a
lot of laughs we did.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
The ceremony was so long. I said, guys, we got
to go to a pub. I mean, I just can't
sit there so and look it's not professional, but I
was like, I can't sit here for two and a
half hours. I got to walk around, which I normally
do every time every ceremony, I walk around and I

(07:35):
just say, hey, text me. We were the fifty ninth
award handed out.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's the most important award.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
There's no sixty, just saying the credits roll after us.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
But it's like right after they give out Best Picture,
it's the most important award of the night.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's where ours was. Yeah, yeah, that's why they wouldn't
tell us. We asked them, I said, where where are
we in the order? We don't we don't know. I said,
you have to you have to do the programs. Then
Paul asked, Mario asked, I just like, man, why can't
we find out? And then I realized we're the last award. Yeah,

(08:12):
you know, it is just the best though. Our audience
reacting to us losing.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
Our audience reacting to us losing every time, because if
you like, you can go on social media and there
will be people like, you know, the Sports Emmys will post,
you know, best Graphic Design was ESPN College Football or whatever, right,
and maybe have like one like maybe maybe if you
go that through all of these things, it'll be like
one like maybe a comment and a like or two

(08:38):
all this stuff and then all of a sudden there's
this one category that has one hundred and fifty seven
comments and like a million things, and out of that
one hundred and fifty seven comments, one hundred and fifty
six of them are you guys got it screwed?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
You guys got this wrong? A million other expletives be
thrown at the spots and people.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, we did have somebody on social media saying, I
think you guys are in the hall are very good.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's an elite comment.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
And I said, you're you're absolutely right.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Someone else also pointed out that we've lost in the
finals just as many times as Lebron. Now, so that's
pretty good. That's good company to be in. Okay.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I saw Scott van Pelt and Van Peasey has not
won a Sports Emmy, so he was he's been up
eight times and he lost. And then there was last
night and all of a sudden, we're driving home in
our party bus, not much partying going on. Van Pelt
sends me a taxi goes over nine and that was it,
got nine over nine.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Good.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
I know you know that year of the h I
think it was the year that was COVID. Yeah, man,
he probably really should have won. Absolutely they did that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Ye, absolutely absolutely, And we saw Richard Sherman, former Seattle Seahawk.
Fritzie of course does his Richard Sherman impersonation.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Who is talking about you?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Cramtree? So so he does his Aaron andrews impersonation. And
so I see Richard Sherman and he walks by, and
he said, hey, just I want to say all. He said,
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Todd Fritzie, Fritzie,
come come, Mack, and Fritzie walks over. I go to

(10:22):
Richard Sherman, I said, Fritzie does a great impersonation. And
you can see Richard Sherman going on, where are we
going with this? I looked at you the same way,
and I was like, no, go ahead, give it to
me one more time.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Who's talking about you?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Cramp Tree? And Richard Sherman died laughing. He was with
Andrew Whitworth, who, by the way, is a mountain goodness gracious,
I think his head's an eight and a half. I'm
gonna guess what a large, large guy good uh. Nate

(10:56):
Burleson saw him, got to see a few people from
the mother Ship. Uh. So it was a nice night.
Mike Tarrico got to see Mike. Mike went over three
last night. Wow. Yeah, yeah, the big over. Uh. Ernie
Johnson saw Ernesto. He won the Best Studio Host again. Yeah,
it was nice night. It would have been a better

(11:18):
night if we won, and if I didn't embarrass myself
with David Hill Cream Rents, what I know, I know you?
And I go yeah, and then oh my god.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I know you. So that which is good. That's great.
He's like, heck yeah, man, stude.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
But I okay, here's what made it even worse. I
don't introduce he's he's looking at his phone, he's got
his sports Emmy there, and he's walking and I go
two words for you, Rents, and he you did it. Yes,
I did know, Yes I did. Now I'd had a

(11:55):
couple of jack and cokes by then. But I'm just saying,
you know how.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
When sometimes like you'll be out in public, or like
I say, you're in the airport and you'll run into
somebody and a guy will be like, hey, hey, hey,
I don't know if you remember this, but nineteen eighty nine,
ant you in this airport at one time and you
said like hey, go zips or whatever. But Do you
remember that and you're like, uh yeah, yeah, that's what
you did the dance. Do you remember in nineteen eighty

Recapping last night Oka Ce rolling the Timberwolves. They're up one. Oh.
You know sometimes you have that feeling after game one

(15:18):
of a series, you go, oh, it's over. Well it's
not over, but OKAC is a prohibitive favor to go
to the NBA Finals. And also you know, I'm looking
at Minnesota. They go fifteen for fifty one from three
point range. I believe that's twenty nine percent. Ok See,
they don't shoot threes. They shot twenty one, they made

(15:38):
eleven fifty two percent. They're really good free throw shooters.
SGA doesn't shoot threes. Didn't have a three last night,
didn't take a three. Minnesota had nineteen turnovers. They turned
that into thirty one points. That's the game. OKAC is
a lot better defensively than you think. They're a really

(16:01):
good offense because of you know SGA and you got
home grin there. I mean, it's they're a deep team.
They're a good team. I mean a really good team,
and I don't think anybody's going to be surprised if
they win a championship. Here it's game one. Now. You
want to see what adjustments Minnesota makes. And I don't
know if Anthony Edwards is one hundred percent. Maybe nobody's

(16:22):
one hundred percent. But he's not taking a lot of
shots here. The last two games that he's played, I
think maybe total twenty five shots. If you're one of
the top ten players in the game, you got to
take twenty five a night. He almost has to be
Jalen Brunson to Minnesota SGA is going to get a

(16:44):
lot of help. But SGA is systematic. It is it
is precision, and it is death Like he gets going
and he's going to be very, very efficient. You can
pencil in he's got to get twenty nine thirty every
single night. All right, setan, let's pull question today.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Well, we got a couple of options here. Can I
start with?

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Well, this one might be too insensitive, you might not
you might be mad at me for this one, or
you might laugh, or you might not a tougher el
to take losing the Sports Emmy, or David Hill not
remembering the Creamerans.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Story or the fact that he was going to offer
me the job. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
I can't believe that he would call you and be like, hey,
come sit down, I want to have a meeting with
you about this job, and then leave the meeting by
insulting you in your hair. I know that's odd, but
maybe he felt so comfortable like, hey, by the way,
you're going to be on the team.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Next thing is cream rants. We need to get that
puffy air under control. You're going to be a star.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, I've had management say stupid things to me.
That's fair because that's why they're management. That's fair. They
say stupid things.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
They stupid things for a living.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yes, but they don't say it on camera or on radio.
But yeah, now the team loss. I really thought that
this was the year. Yeah, I thought it was reflective
of a all around what this show is. And then

(18:15):
you know, that's what I'm proud of is we get
to we get to do a show how we want
to do a show with, you know, no interference from management.

Speaker 10 (18:24):
Here.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Here's how it sounded last night.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
You have show daily are.

Speaker 11 (18:33):
The Dan Patrick Show, Peacock, Good Morning Football, NFL Network,
MLB Central, MLB Network, MLB Tonight, MLB Network, NFL Live, ESPN,
ESPN two, part of the interruption ESPN, and.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
The final Emmy of the night goes to.

Speaker 9 (19:06):
NFL Live, ESPN, ESPN two.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Accepting the Emmy. Yeah great, yeah great, go up there
and be likable, yeah whatever, Yeah, go up there and
be charming. Great. But if you look at the category
and we have a paragraph of people who work on
the show, if you look at all the other shows,

(19:35):
probably at least one hundred people work on all these shows.
And that's what I'm most proud of. If you see
it's just us and you're going up against you know,
networks here, And yes it's a loss, but I'd rather
be nominated than lose. And I did have friends who said, hey,

(19:56):
your brand is still alive. You didn't win, congrat exactly
what you wanted. Yeah, I know, I know you wanted
to lose. Well, it's bad for our brand if we win.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
I throng.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yes, yes, see right, yeah you were.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
See that's why I think that sometimes I think that
we we lose sight of why it's so amazing that
we get nominated based on sort of who we are.
Like you said, those shows have like one hundred or
two hundred people working on them, and we have twelve.
You know, their monthly budget on all of those shows
is probably what we spent an entire year in, you know,

(20:31):
in our whole total budget. They have all of this
crazy technology and stuff. And we're a radio show on TV.
That's what we want, you know, that's so important. You
brought this up last night and you said, we want
to be the first radio show on TV that wins
this Sports Emmy because there are a lot of shows
that you know, you have the radio and TV component,

(20:53):
but to be the first to do that since we
kind of invented this genre, that would be awesome. Yes,
Like within sports TV circles, right, And I mean this
with respect to lots of people. Radio on TV is
about as low as it gets in terms of the
importance of sports television.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Right.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
There's like live events, which is a big deal. There's
shows like Sports Center and all of these things that
are these like just titans of the industry, right, they're
a big deal. But when you're doing a radio simulcast
on TV, it's kind of like, all right, just push
the button and then watch these guys talk. It's not
like the most gratifying work. Sometimes for directors and producers
and things like that, it's like, all right, this is

(21:33):
where we cut our chops. But we're so good at
what we do that we're a radio show. We're exactly
the same as what they hate about doing. But we
get nominated with all these other shows like Sports Center
and Pardon the Interruption, all all these huge, huge, huge shows.
As a radio show, that's pretty special.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yep. And hopefully we only got a couple more chances here,
I know too. Yeah, we got two more chantsmen, two more,
two more, Yes.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Paul we have two or three more chances.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
We have next year and the year after that. But
I but I don't know if I'm going after I've retired.
I don't. I don't think so Like you had me, it.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Means we're absolutely going to absolutely.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
If it means that we absolutely win and I don't go,
then I won't go. But I don't want one of
those where you give a lifetime Achievement award. I do
not want that. You had a chance to give this
to me when it mattered. I don't want to, you
know what, And ladies and gentlemen the Hall of Very

(22:44):
Good say a lo to Dan Patrick here.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, no offense. I don't want that either, because I
don't get one.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
That's what happens, like a lot of times, it's like, hey,
Dan's got this major award for the Dan Patrick Show.
But it's like we're honoring Dan Patrick today. The show
part always gets cut out. I want to win the
Dan Patrick Show, Emmy, not the Dan Patrick No offense.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Jason and Tampa, Hi, Jason, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 10 (23:09):
And Dan?

Speaker 12 (23:09):
That's it's it's incredible to be on with you guys.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Well, I know how I all do and I'm sorry.

Speaker 12 (23:15):
I'm a long time listener, first time caller. Fin a
foot seven, one and forty. Look, it's a bummer that
you guys didn't win the Sports Summi that honestly, they
don't deserve you guys. That interview of Tony Reality that
you had earlier this week one shot, huge shout out
to everybody for that. And that's just just one example

(23:37):
of how awesome you guys are. So hopefully in the
next two years they'll get you guys won. But if not,
that's not what you know. Uh, that's not what your
show needs to show how awesome you guys are.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
And no, no, no, it is. It is. We need
we need one of those. We do. But thank you, Jason,
Yes we do. For everybody in here, it would be great. Yes, Todd, I.

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Echo those sentiments, And I know what, these last couple
of years, there's got to be the way one of
them comes up.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Are you tired after a two and a half hour
performance last night in the party bus?

Speaker 5 (24:09):
I am, Todd.

Speaker 13 (24:10):
I don't think I fell asleep little closer to three,
and then all of a sudden the alarm goes up
at five thirty.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
So we're a little banged up all of us.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, some of the back room guys. They slept here
in the man came. We had like these blow up
mattresses and they're scattered all over the place. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
See, uh, just curious, why did you still get up
at five thirty?

Speaker 13 (24:30):
Because I wanted to leisurely get up, take a nice
leisurely shower, pop on the TV to see what's going
on in the world.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
Then I wanted to go down for breakfast and not
feel rushed.

Speaker 13 (24:39):
And I just like a little extra time to get
ready of it if it means setting the alarm for
a half hour, forty five minutes earlier than someone else, know.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Me, Yes, PAULI, I knew.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I've been sitting on this for forty minutes. I knew
this was going to happen. We've been working with Fritzy
for a long time. That bus ride back, you're not
even scratching the surface of how wild it was. Todd
was like lurking for twenty minutes, and then as we
exited New York, he literally stood up for the next
ninety plus minutes and told stories about his childhood and

(25:08):
TV show clips and songs, and it was like a
a one hour one man special without a pause.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah and applause too, Yes and.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
No applause, And Seatan's trying to sleep in the corner,
Marvin's trying to sleep. Some of us were wide awake,
and I absolute knew he was going to walk in
today with no guests.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Did you say no guests or no guests?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
No, guess he's got no, he's he's fine with that.
And you got you got the great one. Oh yeah, yeah,
way you know that's fine. But yeah, you are low
on energy there, mister Fumes. Yeah, let's go understanding.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Come, why not sleep instead of leisurely taking your time
to watch TV at five thirty.

Speaker 13 (25:53):
I was all excited about that six thirty breakfast. I'm like,
I don't want to miss that, and I want to
be in.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
There the audience.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
I don't think i'm the audio here you are.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
You don't have any energy.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
I got enough, I got, I got plenty of benage.
I'm picking my spots. I'm not screaming and yelly and
punching the desk.

Speaker 13 (26:06):
But I'm here and I'm ready to go. Okay, let
me know how you can prove my energy level good.
No one appreciated the last night of the bus. I
got to try to figure out how to navigate them.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, you could have saved something.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
I got something in the back of the time. Maybe
it may not be a limerick. We'll find something.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Three million dollars.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Lucas in Texas. Hi Lucas, what's on your mind? Ay?

Speaker 14 (26:34):
And good morning?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Good morning.

Speaker 15 (26:37):
You know I'm disappointed for the for the loss as well.
You guys are even greater than the Buffalo bills in
my book, so take solace in that. But I want
to focus here on wins. And there was a big
win in the last week for the DP show. I
have it on good authority, and that authority being Mario

(26:57):
and the Instagram account that one had. Fritz picked up
the tab for an entire lunch while you guys were
in Atlanta. Can the items confirm this? And what were
the circumstances that led to Todd?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
This is after when we did celebrity family Feud. We
were at the airport and Fritzie picked up lunch for
a total of four people, but only after I think
we kind of goaded him into picking up the check.
That fair.

Speaker 6 (27:26):
That isn't fair. Todd picked up the lunch for all
of us and It was a really nice thing to do.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
But I think I had to kind of point out
that he's never picked up He's never picked up the check. Yeah,
he has on occasion, and I took a picture of
it because it's such a rarity.

Speaker 13 (27:44):
I told you guys, next I'll do that. It's gotta
be some type of a total eclipse of the sun.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yes, it doesn't happen.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
I'm happy to make fun of Todd for just about anything,
but that was a nice thing to do.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
It was a thing for all all the other times
when he didn't do a nice thing. That was a
nice thing. He finally pulled out the credit card.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Yes, bo Yeah, I think from what I saw at
that meal seatan was getting ready to pay. I saw
a seat and pull out the car. I go seeing
Kai get in on this and lo and behold fritzy.
Uh the waiter surerpitiously.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah. Great.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
We had a nice time together Atlanta.

Speaker 13 (28:15):
We're all sitting together getting ready to go on the plane,
and I just thought just something came over me, like,
you know, that would be a nice thing.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
To Zoe Todd in Indiana, Hi, Todd, what's on your
mind tonight?

Speaker 14 (28:25):
Danny Boyce tough loss last night. I have a suggestion
for your reel for next year. As somebody who watches
the show wire to wire every day, I've noticed that
more than often than not, when you're interviewing someone Dan,
they always say, wow, that's a great question. And if
you just put a fifteen to twenty second montage of

(28:47):
all these guests say wow, what a great question, I
think it finally puts you over the finish line.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Well, we've thought about that. But here's the thing, and
thank you Todd. You have to take an entire uh
section of the show. You can't just you know, carve
it up. I think you have to use five different
elements from all the shows that we did during the year,
and you can't just piece them together. Because I wanted

(29:13):
to do a promo one time where you do have
all these people saying, boy, that's a great question, and
have it all like fifteen of them and then say
if you think the questions are great, which you hear
the answers the Dan Patrick Show, but as far as
the Sports Emmy, you can't do it that way. Can't
carve it up. You have to have a full segment

(29:33):
to you know, reflect what you did for that amount
of time. Chemo in Virginia, Hi Kimo, welcome back, Danny.

Speaker 10 (29:44):
It's a conspiracy. It's really a conspiracy from you taking
your speaking do away from the mothership the death Star.
You took the heavy hitters with you, oh and Paul
and of course we know where his nose was. But anyway,

(30:05):
it's a conspiracy against you. Fritzy. What do you think,
pumpstiously is that the term fan will get the award
pumpisteriously posthumously?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, yeah, posthumously, and thank you Kim.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think Kimo was on the bus with us for
most of the night.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah on hell on sleep too, Jason and Sacramento Hy Jason.

Speaker 16 (30:32):
Hey guys, uh, tough l last night.

Speaker 10 (30:36):
I I'm used to those.

Speaker 16 (30:37):
I'm a Cowboys fan, as fan, Sacramento Kings fan, Sante
Sharks fans. Yeah, it gets pretty rough. But I just
want to say that I got a little bit of
butterflies last night right before it happened. So, like you know,
all day Nation we were there with I think a
lot of bad juju was going on yesterday with seven

(30:58):
could be possibly the seventh Charm, but it was actually
the sixth Charm, So I think next year's.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
A your voice. Thank you, thank you, Jason Marvin. How
do you feel.

Speaker 17 (31:12):
I'm really proud of what we've done the past year.
But I really really wanted to win. Obviously we all did,
because it would have been one of those Oh what
the what's the big difference?

Speaker 5 (31:23):
I'm in the chair and not somebody else.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
This this would have been your victory lap because McLevin
used to sit in there for sure.

Speaker 17 (31:33):
Shout to mcleoven because he was a big part of
the show and the reason why he became what it became.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
But oh, I would have.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Okay, we can all have our selfish motives. That's I'm
fine with that. Yes, okay.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
So now that we officially can't blame McLevin and we
can't officially credit Marvin, Marvin now goes into the blame
category as well. Who do we now blame if it's
not McLevin. I don't I don't know if we play
the blame game. I blamed Mario because he put together
our Emmy reel.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
That's when we're not nominated.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
When we weren't nominated, Yeah, there were two years we
weren't nominated. I blamed him fault and then he said, oh,
I got a different approach here, and I said okay.
And now he's the director of the show, and so
now things may change a little bit here. As Mario said,
he's going to direct deffinitely than the big german did.

(32:32):
We'll get one one day. It's okay, it.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Is okay, it is, it is okay.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
I was.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
I was angry in the moment.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
I don't know that people really understand the like uphill
climb that it is for what our show is versus
what those shows are well, and how crazy it is
that we've been nominated six times, the.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Fact that we started out in my attic for three years.
If we started out in your attic, I couldn't get
anybody to televise this show.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
In the attic.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
We didn't even really have a show to televise. Yet
for most of times, we didn't know. We didn't we
didn't know what the hell. Although watching the cats pull
on all the chords and stuff like that would have
been pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah, that would have been pretty funny television.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
See.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
But the problem is going forward is we've been nominated
a bunch who've been around a long time. Maybe people
take it for granted and then a new show pops
up and gets nominated wins. I think Good Morning Football
Breakout Hit a couple of years ago. I think they
won then NFL Live first nomination, first win. That's kind
of It's almost like the MVP Shay Giless Oh, look

(33:39):
at him, breakout Star. He gets it.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yes, Todd, and we've talked about this before.

Speaker 13 (33:46):
Would we prefer to be in a more specific category
that would better reflect competition?

Speaker 9 (33:50):
Is?

Speaker 2 (33:51):
How about daytime not sports? I want to go after
Kelly Clarkson vulnerable. Who's Kelly Clarkson? I want to go
after Kelly. I want to go after Kelly and Kelly
Rippa and Mark Kelly's Kelly Maah, mar Marulo's the view.

(34:11):
I'm coming after him. Let's just forget about sports. Let's
just go for daytime sportsman, what are the topics daytime Emmy?

Speaker 4 (34:18):
What topics do we have to switch to?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
We don't, but we.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Got to dump sports and do daytime TV topic.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Well, there's no rules that say the view can't talk
sports if they want to.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
I'm just saying we throw in a hot guy draft
into the Daytime Emmy submission things. We might be the
first sweep Emmy winner.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, yeah, let's let's go bigger here, just not limit
ourselves to sports. We're going after.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Dan Patrick Show, the movie Oscar nominee.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yes, yes, yeah. How about we take a break here, okay,
all right, yeah from sports? Yeah, no, I gotta take
a If you're watching on Peacock. During the live look in,

Wayne Gretzky will join us in the final hour of
the program. There were nominees for the Best Studio Host
last night, and you had some big, big hitters there,
you know, Mike Tariko, you had Ernie Johnson, you had
Scott Van Pelt, and then there was a woman who

(36:30):
was nominated. Her name is Kate Scott and she does soccer,
I think for CBS, Is that right, CBS? Yeah, Paramount okay,
and Seaton goes, do you know anything about her? And
I go, I don't, and he said what she does
is amazing. But people won't realize this because maybe they're

(36:51):
not watching soccer. But give people an idea of what
Kate Scott from CBS does and how that, you know,
compares with these other hosts.

Speaker 6 (37:00):
Well, the show that she does here in the United
States is very much like a like a TNT. She's
sort of the Ernie Johnson. It's like a lot of laughs,
it's a lot of fun. Everybody is like, it's a
big group and its big personalities, and she is the
sort of air traffic controllers Paul would say, there, right,
But because soccer is a worldwide sport, obviously you have

(37:21):
players from all over the world on any given team.
And after the games, she'll sit up there and it'll
be like, Okay, this game just ended, and the German
guy say comes up, and she'll live translate what the
German guy is saying, and so they say, okay, here's
il kai gundwan.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Okay, he's saying.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Coach was unhappy with us in the first half, but
we rebound the second half.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Goodwin.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
To get this is that the very next guy will
come up and he'll be French, and she'll okay, let
me live translate the French thing.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
She speaks like I.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Don't know four or five languages or something, and she'll
live translate press conferences on the fly, on the fly,
and she still can't get an Emmy. That's crazy and no,
that's no disrespect to what everybody else brings to the table.
But having that ability to live translate, she could speak Spanish, French, German,
you know English. Obviously, it's crazy. It's crazy what she.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Could do well. Congratulations being nominated last night. Yeah, Joe
in Phoenix, Hi Joe, what's on your mind today? Gentlemen?

Speaker 7 (38:19):
Gentlemen, I've been watching you and listening for a long
long time, and last night it's a hard pill to swallow. However,
I think we need to make some changes. And you know,
I know we don't want to play the blame game here,
but I'm just going to say it. I blame our wives.
I blame our wives. I blame our significant others. I
watched it and listen to this show every day, and

(38:41):
you know, every time I relay a story to my wife,
I get eye rolls, I get depressed. She doesn't care,
she doesn't want to know who you guys are, but
she does. She knows who Pritty is. And I just
think if we could rally some of that positive energy
from our wives are significant others. We only got two
shots up, boys. We got to make a change. We
got have We got to rally the troops here, and

(39:01):
I think that's the missing link.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Thank you, Joe. I appreciate that. You know, we'll take
that under advisement, but you know, we we do try
to cater to a larger audience. It's not necessarily hardcore sports.
We give you marital advice, we give you child rearing advice.
I'm not saying it's good advice. I'm just saying, but

(39:23):
we give you advice. Yes, Paul, it is funny how
much our wives do have our back though.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Every year it's become a tradition at the Emmys where
my wife will go, so, who are you guys up against?
And I'll go PTI she was, is that the half
hour show?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Just?

Speaker 4 (39:38):
How is a thirty minute show? Competing with you guys?
And then she goes to baseball tonight? That's a highlight show?

Speaker 3 (39:42):
How is the highlight?

Speaker 4 (39:43):
She gets all. She breaks down each show by what
they perceive don't do.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:47):
See, I definitely think it's way worse to not be nominated, yeah,
than to be nominated and lose. Oh yeah, that's always that.
I feel way worse when you see that list come
out and you're like.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Oh not us, Yeah, oh man.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Would no if we get nominated the next two years
and don't win. I'm okay, I am yes.

Speaker 17 (40:06):
We definitely have supportive wives. Reading a text last night,
we lost damn you got the nom which is huge.
This is my wife saying this. Now, don't be upset.
You got to go to the awards, had a great night.
Twenty twenty six is going to be the year.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Oh very supporting the scheduled text.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
Oh dad, she don't fake that.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Jim in Indiana, Hi, Jim, first.

Speaker 18 (40:31):
Time, long time, five ten, two forty. First off, real quick,
the other day, when you were talking about the oilers
between Houston and Edmonton, and you were talking about fun
players from Houston, nobody mentioned Billy whis Shoes. Johnson kind
of found that a little disappointing.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Well, we were talking off the cuff there, so I'm
sorry we didn't run down the roster there for you. Jim,
I'm sorry you've been grinding it got that. Yeah, Like,
how dare you you didn't have Billy White Shoes Johnson, Fritzie,
that should have been you.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
I didn't all honestly think of that name after the fact,
but it was the moment was gone.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
It was like a few minutes later, you want to
apologize to Jim in Indiana.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Indiana should have just blurred it out while we were
on total the other time.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yes, Indiana, Yeah, yes, if we're talking about the oilers.

Speaker 17 (41:20):
We could talk about Buddy Ryan fighting fighting, Kevin gilbrid
on the sidelines.

Speaker 5 (41:24):
We can talk about that too. The Tennessee oilers.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Now you're flexing. I mean, we don't need to do that.
Like great you They fought on the sideline. I know,
I know, I know, I know, Houston oiler. Was that
a song? Yes, Yes, love you Blue, Love you Blue

(41:49):
well head of the NFL Owners meeting, we got to
get back to work. We got to do what we're
supposed to do here. Stop crying, big babies.
