Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
On this Meet Friday, Dan and the Danettes Dan Patrick Show.
We're down to Danette. Pauli is out for the day,
but Fritzi is here to pick up the slack. The
Minister of humor. Also Seaton Marv yours truly in the
back room.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Ross Tucker our good buddy from CBS Westwood one. He
was on the radio call the Lions game last night
against Green Bay. We will do the most must win
game of the weekend, the best weekend sports. Also Booker
McFarlane for the Mothership will stop by. College football rankings
released on Sunday, got a lot of conference title games
coming up later on today and tomorrow. The headlines dominated
(00:42):
by the Lions. They're now twelve and one. They beat
the Packers eleven game winning streak, and they win it
thirty four to thirty one. The big story is Dan Campbell. Campbell,
as in Gamble, continues to do it on fourth down.
I'm okay with it, like that's your identity. Players know that.
In fact, listen to Dan Campbell. His players know what
(01:04):
to expect when they get into these situations.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Look, I told the guys. Knew, players knew, coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the wave. You know, we could
be up two scores, we could be down two scores,
and but just because we're one or the other, we
got to play our style of game going in what
we felt like we need to do, what I felt
like we needed to do, And so that meant the
risk was there, and you know, and you fell in
(01:30):
negative territory, you get you know, you're trying to hold
him to a field goal. But I knew that was
that was how I wanted to play that team with
where we were at.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He takes a chance, he takes a gamble, they know
he's going to he took over. In twenty twenty one,
the Lions lead the NFL and both fourth down attempts
one hundred and forty and fourth down conversion seventy seven.
So that's fifty five percent. Now that's not a great
percentage because that's thirteenth in the league over that spam.
But this is the identity. This has been the identity
(02:01):
from day one. And I think your players they just
want to know, you know, how many times do you
see are they going to go for it? Oh wait,
the quarterback wants to go for it. The coach is
not going to go for it late. There's no disconnect here.
Jared Goff knows I'm going to call two plays now,
and I think it's a great advantage when your quarterback
(02:21):
gets into a situation where it's third and seven. Well,
you're calling two plays there if you're going to go
for it on fourth down. Let's say you get five
and now it's fourth and two, so you're already gearing
up for that. It's like when the Chiefs without Harrison
Butker and I said, gosh, you're giving Patrick Mahomes and
even added another advantage because now he gets four downs
(02:46):
against you, because maybe you're not going to go for
that field goal. Maybe you're going to go This is
two down territory, third and fourth down eight, seven to
seven to three. DP Show email Addressdpatdanpatrick dot com Twitter
handle a DP show question for hour two. By the way,
in case you're wondering, since it is a meat Friday,
smoky meatball, palm sandwiches and curly fries, who is it
(03:10):
better than we do?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
No body?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Thank you, Todd A little bit a little bit more
okay for the curly fries or for the meatball palm.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
The meatball parm, but the curly fries with that that combo,
that's right up my alley.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
OK.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I may sneak something over to the side there when
you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Are no, no, we have to know we eat at
the same time. My thanks to Ryan Leave who sat
in the chair yesterday while I filmed my scene and
Happy Gilmore Too. It turned out to be two scenes
that I filmed. Adam Sandler will join us in an
hour from now and I'll let him describe how the
day went. Yesterday, long day, a lot of fun. Got
(03:48):
to see Shooter McGavin. He was shooting some of his
scenes yesterday as well. Benny Safdie, great director. He's also
an actor in this movie. He's the villain in Happy
Gilmore Too. And once again, I just found out about
the script yesterday because they never sent it to me.
(04:09):
I found out who's in it, a lot of cameos
and a plot twist that I did not expect either.
We support small business owners with all of our products,
and we hope that you do the same. Danpatrick dot com.
Whether it's our Tailgate moonshine, whether it's our t shirts,
whether it's Gilgamesh Brewing in Oregon for the new audible

Danpatrick dot Com supporting small business owner. Stat of the
Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
cards of the program. All righty, what do you have setan.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Well we put up there for the first hour is
as Ventura Sports movie? Obviously a very important question. Right now,
sixty one percent of the audience say.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yes, no, it is not, No, it's not no.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Okay, Well, as I said, I watched it yesterday, so
I'm in my trailer. I shot one scene and then
I had like three hours and then all of a sudden,
I'm trying to find something to watch very limited, and
then uh went to Hulu and got Ace Venture a
pet Detective Dan Marine, a very young Dan Marino, Courtney Cox,
(05:22):
a very young Courtney Cox.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And uh, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
About the Dolphins and losing their mask on. There's Super
Bowl rings that are involved in this. So I said, yeah,
it's a sports movie, yes, ma.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
And in what part of the movie do they actually
play sports?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
They don't, not that I'm aware of. They say laces
out though they do laces out, they do. And then
you know the place kicker.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
What's his name, Fink Finkel, Finkle, Ray Finkel.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I don't want to spoil it, but there's a twist.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Oh there's well as Einhorn Einhorn as Finkle twist.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Courtney Cox. Here you go, ruined it. Yeah, you did,
you did.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And then we started talking about best best five year
or six year runs for an actor or an actress,
and we had a lot of suggestions there. I would
put Harrison ford Is up there. We had some he
had some absolute bangers.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yes, we have a.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Lot of people weighing in on this. It's going into
music movies. There's a massive eminem debate happening in the
back right now, which is great. This is one of
my favorite submissions that somebody sent in Kyle in Pennsylvania
talk about an underappreciated run of movies that I think
you're gonna like dankay Vin Diesel.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
One of the great actors of our time.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Seriously, one of the great actors of our time. In
a five year stretch he had Boiler Room, Pitch, Black, Fast,
and Furious, maybe even two of them. Uh, Triple X
the Pacifier Chronicles of Riddick. He had a run there
where Vin Diesel was arguably the bigess box office star
in the world.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I was going to say he probably banked more money,
you know, five year window.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
That's seven billion dollars right there.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
When Fast and Furious came out, I thought this is
going to be a monster hit because it had cars,
and it had women, and there was sort of a
plot there. And I thought Gone in sixty seconds with
Angelina Joli like and uh Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I thought that one could have been a franchise name
like Montana Rains or something like that. Yeah, yeah, something
like that. Yeah, and it was his brother Memphis.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Is his name Memphis Memphis, Memphis Rains or something.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah. Giovanni Ribisi was in there, like the tweaker, uh
like garage guy Giovanni. Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And then you had who's the guy who was godfather,
the old the older guy in the movie, famous actor,
damn famous famous, he was famous James con No, but
(08:19):
that that kind of Scott con was in the No, no.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
It's Darlin Brandon.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No, how about you google Gone in sixty seconds?
Speaker 8 (08:30):

Bobby d for sure problem member of the DBC DDD
Club and my long past father who also had the
smoky turns that are similar to your own voice, gave
me my entire life. Well, I think is a walk
off in this category. I've been talking about quadruple threat. Writer, director,
producer and actor of two of the greatest comedies in

the top five comedies of all time.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah Yeah, Andrew and Washington. Welcome back, Andrew.
Speaker 14 (12:38):
Good morning, Dan Den. It's a happy meet Friday. Thanks
for taking my call. I do have a couple of questions,
but first I have an mmwg OTW most must win
Game of the Week. Mine is going to be the
Seahawks at the Cardinals. You look at that division in
the NFC West, it's only you know, two games away
from the Diners at the bottom to the Seahawks at
(12:58):
the top. You know, the the Cardinals are given the
Seahawks two and a half points, yet the Seahawks beat
them in Week twelve, sixteen to six. So I think
that really says which team is going.
Speaker 12 (13:08):
To win that division. So that's my MMWGOTW Dan. Two
questions for you. One, you know, did a car come
up with Sandler for all of your appearances in his movies?
And two maybe a quick hot five minute hot poll
more in character on set in a suit? You or
Joe Peshim.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't want to bring Joe into this. Yea, he
stands alone. I just got back into my Sports Center days.
They put a mustache on me and.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's all it is. You get locked in and that
is truly like riding the bike.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
When you sit there in the chair, you got a
suit and tie on, and you got your lines on
prompter and you're just reading prompter. That's all it was.
And I mean there's some magic there obviously, but now
it was fun because Sandler sits all the way in
the back. So when I'm on set and I got
this kind of a sports center set and it's dark
(14:03):
all the way back, you can't see anybody in the back.
So you got all these camera people, sound people, hair makeup,
like a hundred people there, and then you will do
a take and then Sandler will yell out something like Danny, Danny,
why didn't you put uh, why didn't you say? And
then then you do that? And then so he did.
(14:23):
He does this all the time. When I did just
go with it where I'm on stage with Nicole Kidman
and Jennifer Andis then and Dave Matthews Sendler's all the
way in the back, just yelling out lines, Danny, Danny,
why don't you try this line? But sort of work
shopping it as we go along, and then usually we
just go back to whatever the script is. But it's
(14:44):
always beneficial to have the eyes and ears of Sandler
throwing out stuff there, but he'll join us coming up
top of next hour. More phone calls eight seven seven
to three. DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter

call Ross Tucker and say, Ross, you're being bumped for
(16:20):
Adam Sandler.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I'm a regular on the show. I don't know how
you could do that through three minutes before I'm coming on.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
You told me now.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
He was actually very cool. Of course, you and Sam
Man should be calling in a few minutes, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So Ross Tucker will join us coming up in about
twenty minutes from now. I was all set to be
asking some hard hitting football questions, sir Ross, because he
was on the call with the game last night, with
the Lions now winning eleven games in a row. But
Sandman will join us coming up. See would you update
the poll results? In fact, I don't even know what
the poll question is for hour two. Well, we got
(16:50):
another offbeat one. Let me see, is a spentuer a
sports movie right now? Sixty two percent? That's actually getting worse.
Say no, okay, And somebody else.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Suggested, would you have the actor's career Ryan Gosling, Ryan
Reynolds also good the lines going for it on fourth down?
Is a good idea or bad idea? And then another
one off of a SoundBite we had. But is it
called the red zone or the red area?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Who called it the red area?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Matt Lafleur said, well, when we're down there in the
red area, we need to be I feel like i've
heard that a little bit more lately.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The red area.
Speaker 2 (17:24):

down in the red area. Oh yes, I went.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
To the dermatologie for that a couple of times. You
give me a little cream, You're.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Fine, thank you. Is that a red area? Yeah? Yeah,
I haven't heard the red area, bere.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I feel like if I sat here on the show
and I was just like, well, you know, they're down
in the red area, social media would be like, you
don't know anything.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You're stupid, You're so stupid. How did you get this job.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
As we make the smooth segue to Adam Sandler, happy,

And I go, I'm taking a happy Gilmore two souvenir chair.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Are we allowed to talk about some of the people
in the movie, Like, what can we talk about here

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yes, Shooter McGavin.
Speaker 2 (19:47):

any dress. But but what we what do you want

if it's good or bad to talk about?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Like can I talk about Eminem having a cameo?

Okay? Yeah, yeah you can't. You know, Eminem was cool,
he he came by and he was he was great.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Okay, wat how do you reach out to Eminem? And

Speaker 10 (20:21):
I can't tell you. Okay, Okay, Eminem time and he's

(21:08):
I sit next to Jack, so I got I got
to talk to him and he was he was so
nice to me, man, he was, he was. He did
literally to me. I talked to him on the phone
and I was right before, like, uh, a couple of
weeks before we shot, and I was it reminded me
of growing up so much and what he meant to
(21:29):
my dad and what he meant to.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
The whole world pretty cool.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I was like, well, I think the only other boys
said on the phone that would make me feel what
I'm feeling was Johnny Carsonis and just kind of felt like,
just you calmed you down. Everything he had to say
was so sweet and calm, and he felt like, just
just I better listen to this man because he just
knows everything.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Okay, here's another thing, and I'm not sure if this
is true. I think John Daly brought this up that
the movie was coming out in March or April. I
thought it might have been a blockbuster fourth or July weekend.
But I'm wondering if you're trying to have it aligned
with Masters week where you have Happy Gilmour Too come out.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
It's not coming out then it's I don't know one
hundred percent, but I think around July. Okay, July fourth,
but but they we're trying to get it done in
time for July.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
I just you never know what's going to happen. We're
just just finishing today at the last day. You will
phenomenally Yesterday, Danny, seriously, we all talked about.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
You, just you.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
You were just so smooth and everything you said was
funny as funny as hell. We're going to use it
all over the place. And uh and thank you. And
you look Hanta Mattel in the must desk, you look
like the trong. You look like you're hitting the way hard, buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But you know what, sam Man, I just had somebody
say I look like maybe a younger thinner Andy Reid.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't say thinner, but yes, wow, I.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Don't know if you should be calling me out chunky
Cole Medina.
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Yeah, no, Andy Reid. By the way, he's a handsome bash.
Nothing wrong with that. And he says he's punning on
those commercials he does the twinklers and steals some nugget
or something easy. I think he eats my homes last
nugget or something.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
How much pressure do you feel? But the build up
and trying to deliver on something like this.
Speaker 10 (23:35):
Well, I you know, a lot, a lot a lot.
I want I want it to be great. Me and Hurli.
He's next to me right now. We're in the trailer
going over the movie, just talking about the thing and
what what how we're going to put it together, and yeah, yeah,
it's on your mind. You just you just we got
a lot of good stuff and we just want to
make sure that it all comes together and and and
(24:00):
keep keeps it going from start to finish. And that's
that's the goal. We'll see, we'll see. We're definitely nervous,
but we feel some sort of confidence.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
We're talking at him Sandler. The movie Happy Go More
to probably in July. They wrap it up today. I
did get yelled at by one of your producers. Eli,
I found out that you can't use the F word
in the movie.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Well this this you never know, you never know. Maybe
maybe if it makes total sense, that word is gonna
be so Eli, I'm gonna Eli just got fired.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
The movie ends today, so you can't Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Yeah, yeah, I guess this is the last God damn,
you don't like that. Oh by the way, Eli got fired.
In cases parents are listening, I love.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
You, No, no, great. Once again, it was fun.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Great to see you a lot of the familiar faces
there and and uh, I know, I know you've been
told not to talk about the movie. So thank you
for at least volunteering if you wanted. Uh, if I
wanted you on the show today. So thanks for joining us.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
I wanted to be with you day just to celebrate
how great you were last night. And and uh all
the boys say hi to them and uh a holiday.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well wait, wait a minute, hold on, Samon, there was
there is a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 12 (25:22):
What.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm sure you had a lot of golf galleries. You
got a lot of people extras there, and you have
been nice to get the dan Nets into movies, and
I waited for.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
The invitation to hand it to them so they can be.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
The dan Nets are in the water Boy. If we
do The water Boy again, they're in that. I didn't
want that. I know none of them like golf, So
that is true.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Is there going to be a sequel to The Water Boy?
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Okay, I don't know in what order, but I think
next sequel. I know, no matter what I say, people
are gonna say I'm serious. So but I'm gonna start off.
I'm gonna start off with We're doing a sequel to
Bedtime Stories next, then it's Sea Going. No, I'm not
I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Okay, Okay, so there's no sequel to water Boy. You're
just joking, I mean, no.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
I don't know, you never know. I probably not, but
uh bouche tackling anybody at age fifty eight, it's a
little weirder than them hitting a golf boy, you know
what I mean, would be dead, would be dead right
now if you hit anybody in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Yes, Sam oh, yes, seton sounds like Adam is writing
The Sun of the Water boy.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
Ooh, that could be good. That could be good. And
who's playing the sun?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Uh? Timothy Challow, Harry Keho.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
Oh yeah, all right, Well we'll figure out. I can't.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, So Sandman played pick up with Timothy shallow May
on a New York City he playground. How what kind
of game does Timothy shallow May have?
Speaker 10 (27:04):
Oh he's a very smooth operator on the on the court.
And I played ball with him. I played ball with
them a few times out in l A too. He's cool.
I think I remember Timmy came over to the house.
He had some good three on three to get eat
it up man. A kid likes to win. He's good.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
How were your daughters when Timothy Challow May came to
your house?
Speaker 10 (27:27):
They were They held it together. He was so cool
to him. So so that that they held it together.
But it was a night. It was a good Three
days after, it's still smiling, you know what I mean.
It felt good.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Thanks again, Thanks again for the opportunity and talk to
you soon. Save travels.
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Way to go, Danny, Thanks for your time, Love you boys,
see you soon.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That's Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I did get close to texting Sam Man a while
ago to say, hey, if you need extras, but I thought, no,
he has invited you guys in a couple of movies,
and I was waiting for the invitation for you guys,
so I didn't want to. I didn't want to push
my friendship boundaries there with San Matt. Just so you
(28:08):
guys know, Marvin could have been in a movie.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Oh sor right, Josh de Mell looked out.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
He did.
Speaker 13 (28:16):
We were in the beginning of our buddy games. Oh
it's not happy Gilmore too or anything.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
No, it's not No, it's not so Yeah, Eminem's got
a cameo there. I was shocked at you know, Rory
McElroy's in it, Bryce and to Shambo, it's weird. They
brought together the PGA tour and the live tour for
a movie. So you had to Shambo and Kopka Rory
(28:45):
and they were all together and there's no media around,
so they actually probably got a chance to, you know,
have a herd to hard talk about the live tour
and the PGA tour. So, uh, I guess July will
be happy Gilmore too. John Daly said he thought of
his March or April, and I'm thinking that as a
John knows nothing about movies. John is in the movie.
(29:06):
But I thought that is a unbelievable turnaround and thought
I'd ask the Sandman Tom, and Iowa, Hi, Tom, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (29:16):
Hey, fella's happy Meat Friday. At y'all, I've got the
definitive argument of why Ice Winter is a sports movie,
and it comes down to there's an entire generation of
us now when we watch a football game and there
is a kick miss, the first thing we look at
is the ball, and someone invariably will.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
Yell out places out Dan, love.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You, guys, thank you, thank you, thank you. Tom.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Let's take a break, because Ross Tucker kind enough to
allow Fritzy to push him back a little bit there
so we can make way for big time Hollywood actor
Adam simm.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
I can't believe you guys would do that to me
right before I'm coming on.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Take a break back after this.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six a Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Speaking of good friends, probably not as good a friend
of Fritzi as he is to me. After Fritzi said,
Ross Tucker, why don't you wait twenty minutes? We got
to bring in Adam Sandler and I said no, make
Sandler wait, and you said no, can't do that, Ross Tucker,
CBS Sports, Westwood One, and the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
(30:24):
Ross was on the call for Westwood One last night,
packers in lines. So you can tell your kids you
got bumped for Adam Sandler there, Ross.
Speaker 16 (30:32):
Yeah, you know what's so funny about that, Dan, They're
twelve and eleven.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
I'm wondering what they know about Adam Sandler. I think
it might be way.
Speaker 16 (30:39):
Cooler to tell my wife and friends that I got
pumped now. I actually replied to you guys on X
at Ross Tucker NFL, and I got a new poll
question of the day for Seaton. Should I be honored
or offended that I got bumped for Adam Sandler.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
There's already a one hundred and thirty votes.
Speaker 16 (31:02):
Seventy four percent say honored, twenty six percent say offended.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
So far, I would say you should be honored. You
should be honored.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
To me, I don't care.
Speaker 16 (31:16):
I'm just in a hotel room in Detroit, and it's
a way cooler story now, Like I'm gonna tell everybody
you know, it's a way cooler story that I got
bumped for Sander. Then if I just came on at
ten twenty, the only issue Dan is I scheduled. I
was on the radio in Chicago before I came on.
Fritzy texted me no less than ten times while I'm
(31:39):
on the radio on my phone in Chicago, can you
go letter ten forty eleven oh five Sandler?
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Oh, he's gonna break in his thing. Like like.
Speaker 16 (31:50):
Fritzy, how about just one text with all of the
information as opposed to the ding coming in every three
seconds as you say three more words and hit send.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I would say to that that I didn't mean to
ding up your phone, and I wasn't certainly wasn't aware
that you were on in the middle of an interview
on some on a radio stat even an interview.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
But things were also changing.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
I was getting different notes from the Sandman about when
he was available, so that caused me to change the
update on what I had to share with Ross. While
we were moving things around, I saw I wasn't meant
I mean to be a.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Pasting Thank you, Todd Ross. Can a team peak too soon?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Yes, no question.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Can the Lions be peaking too soon?
Speaker 16 (32:32):
I don't think so because of how injured they are
on the defensive side of the ball. I mean, they
have thirteen guys on IR on defense. Nobody else has
more than seven after a Lee McNeil, who's a stud
by the way, after he went out Dan, they didn't
have a single guy playing last night that was in
(32:53):
the too deep on the defensive line fur their opener.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Think about that. That is nuts.
Speaker 16 (33:00):
They're playing with all guys off the street or practice
squad guys and still beating the Green Bay Packers in
a game like that. It's incredibly impressive. I mean, I'm
watching Kwan Alexander and Jamal Adams makes some plays. They
just signed both those guys this week and it's a
Thursday game.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
It's incredible.
Speaker 16 (33:22):
What they've done, and I would say in particular, the
offense is awesome, but for them to be good enough
on defense to win these games with some of the
guys they're playing with is super impressive.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, I just wonder about that the attrition, When does
that catch up to them?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So far they've managed it.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
But this is where I go back, and I said
at the start of the show, I like the I
think the Eagles are the most balanced team in football
right now, and maybe the best team in football right now.
Buffalo is in there as well. Certainly the Lions are.
I can't diminish what they've done. I just have to
look at the bigger picture here, and that is at
some point in the postseason, you're gonna have to stop
(34:02):
somebody that You're not gonna win all these shootouts, at
least I don't think you will.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
But what would be your biggest concern with the Lions.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
Well, so two things.
Speaker 16 (34:12):
One is reader's gonna come back. Ali McNeil's coming back.
I had Azeloney on the Ross Tucker Football podcast Wednesday.
He's coming back from that broken forum. So they're actually
gonna get a bunch of these guys back before they
get into the postseason. That will help. And the number
one seed is just huge. I mean, being able to
(34:36):
not have to play that first week, so you get
more people healing. And I can tell you last night,
and I know some people said on the television broadcast
that maybe they couldn't hear the crowd. It was loud,
really loud. I thought it affected the Packers a little bit.
My biggest concern Dan about the Lions is fourth down variants.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Right.
Speaker 16 (34:58):
You know, they're very aggressive and they were three out
of four last night and it's a big reason.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Why they won the game.
Speaker 16 (35:05):
And on a lot of those instances, they are going
with the numbers and what the percentages say.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
But the percentages and the numbers don't know.
Speaker 16 (35:14):
It's the NFC championship game, and they don't care, you
know what I mean, Like they don't care. So you know,
let's say it's fifty percent on a lot of fourth
down conversions, right, Well, they were seventy five percent last night.
They were three out of four in three playoff games
or maybe four. I wonder which one of those it
comes back to bite them. They threw the ball, Dan,
(35:36):
on two fourth and goals, they threw it, you know,
a lot of bad things can happen there. A d
Linan can back the pass down golf, can have a
bad throw, good defense by the Packers, the guy could
drop it. When you're in a situation. This is not
the Eagles with the tush push on their fourth downs.
They're throwing the ball on some of these fourth and goals.
(35:56):
They were both touchdowns. They're in one of the playoff games.
It's not gonna happen for him. They're gonna go one
for three on fourth downs and it might be what
costs them.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And I wondered about that, if Dan Campbell is saying,
let's give somebody something to think about in the postseason
by what we're doing in the regular season on some
of these fourth down calls, that we're not going to
be predictable. The predictability is we're going for it, but
there is no predictability in what play we call there.
That's the only thing I thought of there. But if
(36:28):
you played on the lines and you're on the offensive
side of the ball being alignment, and you know Dan
Campbell's going forward on fourth down, what does that do
for a team when they get in a huddle and
you basically know when we get to third. We're getting
to fourth down as well.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Well.
Speaker 16 (36:46):
There's two awesome aspects of that. Number One, we saw
this a bunch last night. It enables them to be
willing to run the ball on third and medium, which
really helps the play action pass game, really helps out
the offensive line. They're not afraid to run third, four, five,
and six. They'll run the ball. They ran for a
first down a couple of times they didn't, but they
(37:07):
got closer than they went forth on fourth down. So
that's a cool aspect of it. And then the other
thing is just the belief and faith that that team has.
I thought a couple times started the second half, then
after the they stopped them on fourth down and pat
the Packers went up twice in the second half, and
I thought, Okay, what a valiant effort by the Lions,
(37:29):
but they're out manned and it's just not going to
happen for them. I think because of how much Dan
Campbell believes in them, I think it reinforces the self belief,
the confidence. We talked to David Montgomery, I ain't eagle
on myself after the game, and he said, Dan Campbell
told them all week almost every fourth down if it's close,
(37:52):
we are going So those guys they just know that
Campbell believes in them, and even if they don't get one,
they know they're going for it and they know their
coach believes in them that they're gonna get I think
that's a big reason why they're so resilient and they
keep coming back even when the Packers take the lead
like they did.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Curious your opinion on A Z's al Shire, the three
game suspension on Trevor Lawrence and will we see a
modification of the rule or a possible rule change with
this play.
Speaker 16 (38:26):
I think they need to strongly consider what they're going
to do with the quarterback slide. I never thought of
this until I heard Rex Ryan talking about it earlier
in the week, and I'll give them a lot of
credit for that. It's not a smart decision by a
quarterback unless you Tom Brady it and do it super early.
But that kind of goes against human instinct, right, Like
(38:49):
human instinct is to get as many yards as you
can and then get down. But when you slide feet first,
the thing highest off the ground, the last thing to
get down and protected is your head. You're making yourself very,
very vulnerable. Now, I thought al shi Or could done
a better job of avoiding that collision. And I will
(39:14):
say this, though anybody's ever played, We'll tell you everything
out there happened so much faster than that does when
you're watching on TV. I mean, it happens in an instant.
I thought he got one game for basically the hit
and his track record. You know, he's had some other
questionable hits. I thought he got another game because of
(39:35):
how bad it looked for Trevor Lawrence and cart it
Off and all that. I thought the third game honestly
was because of his reaction afterwards and like the riot
that it started. I actually really thought they would reduce
it to two. I'm surprised that they didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Always great to talk to you, and thanks for joining
us and my pleasure.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
I don't know when Happy Gilmore two will be released.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
It's probably no long it'll be Jolyn.
Speaker 16 (40:02):
I know that I feel like John Daly doesn't know
what he's talking about.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
I know at least that.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
And you're probably going to get bumped from the guest
list of being able to see the movie, So just
letting you know get you might get bumped again.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Thank you guys, I.
Speaker 8 (40:16):
Love that movie. We watched that fifty times in college.
Love it.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Thank you, Dan, Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, the
Ross Tucker Football Podcast, and social media at Ross Tucker, NFL.
You got the Bills coming up for the Lions. You've
got the Niners, the artist formerly known as the Niners,
you got the Bears, you got the Vikings. So not
(40:40):
an easy route, but they should be able to win
three out of four. Final Hour on the way, Booger
McFarlane will stop by. Hope you'll join us. Final hour
in this meet Friday after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
On this Meet Friday, Dan and the Danettes Dan Patrick Show.
We're down to Danette. Pauli is out for the day,
but Fritzi is here to pick up the slack. The
Minister of humor. Also Seaton Marv yours truly in the
back room.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Ross Tucker our good buddy from CBS Westwood one. He
was on the radio call the Lions game last night
against Green Bay. We will do the most must win
game of the weekend, the best weekend sports. Also Booker
McFarlane for the Mothership will stop by. College football rankings
released on Sunday, got a lot of conference title games
coming up later on today and tomorrow. The headlines dominated
(00:42):
by the Lions. They're now twelve and one. They beat
the Packers eleven game winning streak, and they win it
thirty four to thirty one. The big story is Dan Campbell. Campbell,
as in Gamble, continues to do it on fourth down.
I'm okay with it, like that's your identity. Players know that.
In fact, listen to Dan Campbell. His players know what
(01:04):
to expect when they get into these situations.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Look, I told the guys. Knew, players knew, coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the wave. You know, we could
be up two scores, we could be down two scores,
and but just because we're one or the other, we
got to play our style of game going in what
we felt like we need to do, what I felt
like we needed to do, And so that meant the
risk was there, and you know, and you fell in
(01:30):
negative territory, you get you know, you're trying to hold
him to a field goal. But I knew that was
that was how I wanted to play that team with
where we were at.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He takes a chance, he takes a gamble, they know
he's going to he took over. In twenty twenty one,
the Lions lead the NFL and both fourth down attempts
one hundred and forty and fourth down conversion seventy seven.
So that's fifty five percent. Now that's not a great
percentage because that's thirteenth in the league over that spam.
But this is the identity. This has been the identity
(02:01):
from day one. And I think your players they just
want to know, you know, how many times do you
see are they going to go for it? Oh wait,
the quarterback wants to go for it. The coach is
not going to go for it late. There's no disconnect here.
Jared Goff knows I'm going to call two plays now,
and I think it's a great advantage when your quarterback
(02:21):
gets into a situation where it's third and seven. Well,
you're calling two plays there if you're going to go
for it on fourth down. Let's say you get five
and now it's fourth and two, so you're already gearing
up for that. It's like when the Chiefs without Harrison
Butker and I said, gosh, you're giving Patrick Mahomes and
even added another advantage because now he gets four downs
(02:46):
against you, because maybe you're not going to go for
that field goal. Maybe you're going to go This is
two down territory, third and fourth down eight, seven to
seven to three. DP Show email Addressdpatdanpatrick dot com Twitter

in case you're wondering, since it is a meat Friday,
smoky meatball, palm sandwiches and curly fries, who is it
(03:10):
better than we do?

No body?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Thank you, Todd A little bit a little bit more
okay for the curly fries or for the meatball palm.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
The meatball parm, but the curly fries with that that combo,
that's right up my alley.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
OK.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I may sneak something over to the side there when
you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Are no, no, we have to know we eat at
the same time. My thanks to Ryan Leave who sat
in the chair yesterday while I filmed my scene and
Happy Gilmore Too. It turned out to be two scenes
that I filmed. Adam Sandler will join us in an
hour from now and I'll let him describe how the
day went. Yesterday, long day, a lot of fun. Got
(03:48):
to see Shooter McGavin. He was shooting some of his
scenes yesterday as well. Benny Safdie, great director. He's also
an actor in this movie. He's the villain in Happy
Gilmore Too. And once again, I just found out about
the script yesterday because they never sent it to me.
(04:09):
I found out who's in it, a lot of cameos
and a plot twist that I did not expect either.
We support small business owners with all of our products,

cards of the program. All righty, what do you have setan.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Well we put up there for the first hour is
as Ventura Sports movie? Obviously a very important question. Right now,
sixty one percent of the audience say.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yes, no, it is not, No, it's not no.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Okay, Well, as I said, I watched it yesterday, so
I'm in my trailer. I shot one scene and then
I had like three hours and then all of a sudden,
I'm trying to find something to watch very limited, and
then uh went to Hulu and got Ace Venture a
pet Detective Dan Marine, a very young Dan Marino, Courtney Cox,
(05:22):
a very young Courtney Cox.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And uh, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
About the Dolphins and losing their mask on. There's Super
Bowl rings that are involved in this. So I said, yeah,
it's a sports movie, yes, ma.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
And in what part of the movie do they actually
play sports?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
They don't, not that I'm aware of. They say laces
out though they do laces out, they do. And then
you know the place kicker.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
What's his name, Fink Finkel, Finkle, Ray Finkel.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I don't want to spoil it, but there's a twist.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Oh there's well as Einhorn Einhorn as Finkle twist.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Courtney Cox. Here you go, ruined it. Yeah, you did,
you did.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And then we started talking about best best five year
or six year runs for an actor or an actress,
and we had a lot of suggestions there. I would
put Harrison ford Is up there. We had some he
had some absolute bangers.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yes, we have a.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Lot of people weighing in on this. It's going into
music movies. There's a massive eminem debate happening in the
back right now, which is great. This is one of
my favorite submissions that somebody sent in Kyle in Pennsylvania
talk about an underappreciated run of movies that I think
you're gonna like dankay Vin Diesel.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
One of the great actors of our time.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Seriously, one of the great actors of our time. In
a five year stretch he had Boiler Room, Pitch, Black, Fast,
and Furious, maybe even two of them. Uh, Triple X
the Pacifier Chronicles of Riddick. He had a run there
where Vin Diesel was arguably the bigess box office star
in the world.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I was going to say he probably banked more money,
you know, five year window.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
That's seven billion dollars right there.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
When Fast and Furious came out, I thought this is
going to be a monster hit because it had cars,
and it had women, and there was sort of a
plot there. And I thought Gone in sixty seconds with
Angelina Joli like and uh Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I thought that one could have been a franchise name
like Montana Rains or something like that. Yeah, yeah, something
like that. Yeah, and it was his brother Memphis.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah Yeah, Andrew and Washington. Welcome back, Andrew.
Speaker 14 (12:38):
Good morning, Dan Den. It's a happy meet Friday. Thanks
for taking my call. I do have a couple of questions,
but first I have an mmwg OTW most must win
Game of the Week. Mine is going to be the
Seahawks at the Cardinals. You look at that division in
the NFC West, it's only you know, two games away
from the Diners at the bottom to the Seahawks at
(12:58):
the top. You know, the the Cardinals are given the
Seahawks two and a half points, yet the Seahawks beat
them in Week twelve, sixteen to six. So I think
that really says which team is going.
Speaker 12 (13:08):
To win that division. So that's my MMWGOTW Dan. Two
questions for you. One, you know, did a car come
up with Sandler for all of your appearances in his movies?
And two maybe a quick hot five minute hot poll
more in character on set in a suit? You or
Joe Peshim.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't want to bring Joe into this. Yea, he
stands alone. I just got back into my Sports Center days.
They put a mustache on me and.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's all it is. You get locked in and that
is truly like riding the bike.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
When you sit there in the chair, you got a
suit and tie on, and you got your lines on
prompter and you're just reading prompter. That's all it was.
And I mean there's some magic there obviously, but now
it was fun because Sandler sits all the way in
the back. So when I'm on set and I got
this kind of a sports center set and it's dark
(14:03):
all the way back, you can't see anybody in the back.
So you got all these camera people, sound people, hair makeup,
like a hundred people there, and then you will do
a take and then Sandler will yell out something like Danny, Danny,
why didn't you put uh, why didn't you say? And
then then you do that? And then so he did.
(14:23):
He does this all the time. When I did just
go with it where I'm on stage with Nicole Kidman
and Jennifer Andis then and Dave Matthews Sendler's all the
way in the back, just yelling out lines, Danny, Danny,
why don't you try this line? But sort of work
shopping it as we go along, and then usually we
just go back to whatever the script is. But it's
(14:44):
always beneficial to have the eyes and ears of Sandler
throwing out stuff there, but he'll join us coming up
top of next hour. More phone calls eight seven seven
to three. DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter

between scenes right now, so he's actually gonna join us
next at twenty five past the hour.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I got Ross Tucker.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I know, I'm gonna kindly move Ross gently because he's
a big man to either later in the hour or
the top of the eleven hour, because Samman needs to
do it as soon as.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Poss' is gonna kindly move him gently.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Hey, having to move Yesterdear, you're.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Gonna like he was gonna be joining us in four
minutes now.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
It's not very professional, but sam Man's on a very
tight schedule and needs to do it next. So hopefully
Russell understand.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Here we go playing the Hollywood star. Okay, sam Man,

call Ross Tucker and say, Ross, you're being bumped for
(16:20):
Adam Sandler.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I'm a regular on the show. I don't know how
you could do that through three minutes before I'm coming on.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
You told me now.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
He was actually very cool. Of course, you and Sam
Man should be calling in a few minutes, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So Ross Tucker will join us coming up in about
twenty minutes from now. I was all set to be
asking some hard hitting football questions, sir Ross, because he
was on the call with the game last night, with
the Lions now winning eleven games in a row. But
Sandman will join us coming up. See would you update
the poll results? In fact, I don't even know what
the poll question is for hour two. Well, we got
(16:50):
another offbeat one. Let me see, is a spentuer a
sports movie right now? Sixty two percent? That's actually getting worse.
Say no, okay, And somebody else.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Suggested, would you have the actor's career Ryan Gosling, Ryan
Reynolds also good the lines going for it on fourth down?
Is a good idea or bad idea? And then another
one off of a SoundBite we had. But is it
called the red zone or the red area?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Who called it the red area?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Matt Lafleur said, well, when we're down there in the
red area, we need to be I feel like i've
heard that a little bit more lately.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The red area.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I think that's something you find on your body, like
down in the red area. Oh yes, I went.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
To the dermatologie for that a couple of times. You
give me a little cream, You're.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Fine, thank you. Is that a red area? Yeah? Yeah,
I haven't heard the red area, bere.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I feel like if I sat here on the show
and I was just like, well, you know, they're down
in the red area, social media would be like, you
don't know anything.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You're stupid, You're so stupid. How did you get this job.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
As we make the smooth segue to Adam Sandler, happy,
Gilmour two set to call in. I believe, Oh Todd's
on the phone with Salmon. Now this is where Todd
does his impersonation. I killed do it?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Oh let me Danny?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Ready, okay, all right, here we go. All right, Todd,
did you do your Sandler impersonation to Sandler?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I did not?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I saw that on the Thanksgiving specially when he was
playing his guitar with Kevin Neil, and I just love that.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Stuff, Okay, I sad man, I love you.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Good, good, good. Hi Danny, how are you feeling.

on today.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Oh no, Danny. They were looking for it all morning.
Oh guy, Tom down, Dandy.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I know that you guys get caught up in wardrobe
and you can't take anything. But it was the next
to last day, and I loved it so much that
I I was just gonna take it with me. I also,
I told these guys you were on the phone. I
don't know if you're talking to your wife, I'm done
with my scene. I'm leaving last night, and I grab
a chair and you're going, Danny, what are you doing?
And I go, I'm taking a happy Gilmore two souvenir chair.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
Yes, yes, no, no, no, there was no doubt you
deserved the chair. You did good work last night. I
just think I was a little shocked at the amount
of M and.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
M's just.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Are we allowed to talk about some of the people
in the movie, Like, what can we talk about here
since the movie wraps today?
Speaker 10 (19:36):
Yeah? Are we on the air right now? Yes we are, Okay, Yeah,
we can't talk about anything. No, no, no, no, Yeah,
you can say who was there? Shooter was there and
he was hanging out right.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yes, Shooter McGavin.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Okay, But can I talk about some of the cameos?
Speaker 10 (19:52):
I don't know if they they're gonna yell at me
no matter what, because they asked me not to do
any dress. But but what we what do you want
to say? What do you say? And I'll tell you
if it's good or bad to talk about?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Like can I talk about Eminem having a cameo?
Speaker 10 (20:10):
Okay? Yeah, yeah you can't. You know, Eminem was cool,
he he came by and he was he was great.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Okay, wat how do you reach out to Eminem? And
what role does he play in Happy Gilmore too?
Speaker 10 (20:21):
I can't tell you. Okay, Okay, Eminem time and he's
he's a great guy and he came in, was funny
as hell and was just it was just I think
we just hung out a day with Eminem and he
just shot and shot and was insane, said said a
million things. We can use in a million things that
we just We're glad we have him on tape.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Jack Nicholas, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
Jack Nicholas, Yes, we did. He came by for a
couple of days, all all the all these great shoppers
came by and we we yes, they did a great
scene and we all we all hung out and he
was amazing and he hung out with us and his
wife was was awesome and we we I in the scene.
(21:08):
I sit next to Jack, so I got I got
to talk to him and he was he was so
nice to me, man, he was, he was. He did
literally to me. I talked to him on the phone
and I was right before, like, uh, a couple of
weeks before we shot, and I was it reminded me
of growing up so much and what he meant to
(21:29):
my dad and what he meant to.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
The whole world pretty cool.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I was like, well, I think the only other boys
said on the phone that would make me feel what
I'm feeling was Johnny Carsonis and just kind of felt like,
just you calmed you down. Everything he had to say
was so sweet and calm, and he felt like, just
just I better listen to this man because he just
knows everything.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Okay, here's another thing, and I'm not sure if this
is true. I think John Daly brought this up that
the movie was coming out in March or April. I
thought it might have been a blockbuster fourth or July weekend.
But I'm wondering if you're trying to have it aligned
with Masters week where you have Happy Gilmour Too come out.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
It's not coming out then it's I don't know one
hundred percent, but I think around July. Okay, July fourth,
but but they we're trying to get it done in
time for July.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
I just you never know what's going to happen. We're
just just finishing today at the last day. You will
phenomenally Yesterday, Danny, seriously, we all talked about.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
You, just you.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
You were just so smooth and everything you said was
funny as funny as hell. We're going to use it
all over the place. And uh and thank you. And
you look Hanta Mattel in the must desk, you look
like the trong. You look like you're hitting the way hard, buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But you know what, sam Man, I just had somebody
say I look like maybe a younger thinner Andy Reid.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't say thinner, but yes, wow, I.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Don't know if you should be calling me out chunky
Cole Medina.
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Yeah, no, Andy Reid. By the way, he's a handsome bash.
Nothing wrong with that. And he says he's punning on
those commercials he does the twinklers and steals some nugget
or something easy. I think he eats my homes last
nugget or something.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
How much pressure do you feel? But the build up
and trying to deliver on something like this.
Speaker 10 (23:35):
Well, I you know, a lot, a lot a lot.
I want I want it to be great. Me and Hurli.
He's next to me right now. We're in the trailer
going over the movie, just talking about the thing and
what what how we're going to put it together, and yeah, yeah,
it's on your mind. You just you just we got
a lot of good stuff and we just want to
make sure that it all comes together and and and
(24:00):
keep keeps it going from start to finish. And that's
that's the goal. We'll see, we'll see. We're definitely nervous,
but we feel some sort of confidence.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
We're talking at him Sandler. The movie Happy Go More
to probably in July. They wrap it up today. I
did get yelled at by one of your producers. Eli,
I found out that you can't use the F word
in the movie.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Well this this you never know, you never know. Maybe
maybe if it makes total sense, that word is gonna
be so Eli, I'm gonna Eli just got fired.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
The movie ends today, so you can't Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Yeah, yeah, I guess this is the last God damn,
you don't like that. Oh by the way, Eli got fired.
In cases parents are listening, I love.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
You, No, no, great. Once again, it was fun.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Great to see you a lot of the familiar faces
there and and uh, I know, I know you've been
told not to talk about the movie. So thank you
for at least volunteering if you wanted. Uh, if I
wanted you on the show today. So thanks for joining us.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
I wanted to be with you day just to celebrate
how great you were last night. And and uh all
the boys say hi to them and uh a holiday.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well wait, wait a minute, hold on, Samon, there was
there is a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 12 (25:22):
What.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm sure you had a lot of golf galleries. You
got a lot of people extras there, and you have
been nice to get the dan Nets into movies, and
I waited for.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
The invitation to hand it to them so they can be.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
The dan Nets are in the water Boy. If we
do The water Boy again, they're in that. I didn't
want that. I know none of them like golf, So
that is true.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Is there going to be a sequel to The Water Boy?
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Okay, I don't know in what order, but I think
next sequel. I know, no matter what I say, people
are gonna say I'm serious. So but I'm gonna start off.
I'm gonna start off with We're doing a sequel to
Bedtime Stories next, then it's Sea Going. No, I'm not
I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Okay, Okay, so there's no sequel to water Boy. You're
just joking, I mean, no.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
I don't know, you never know. I probably not, but
uh bouche tackling anybody at age fifty eight, it's a
little weirder than them hitting a golf boy, you know
what I mean, would be dead, would be dead right
now if you hit anybody in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Yes, Sam oh, yes, seton sounds like Adam is writing
The Sun of the Water boy.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
Ooh, that could be good. That could be good. And
who's playing the sun?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Uh? Timothy Challow, Harry Keho.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
Oh yeah, all right, Well we'll figure out. I can't.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, So Sandman played pick up with Timothy shallow May
on a New York City he playground. How what kind
of game does Timothy shallow May have?
Speaker 10 (27:04):
Oh he's a very smooth operator on the on the court.
And I played ball with him. I played ball with
them a few times out in l A too. He's cool.
I think I remember Timmy came over to the house.
He had some good three on three to get eat
it up man. A kid likes to win. He's good.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
How were your daughters when Timothy Challow May came to
your house?
Speaker 10 (27:27):
They were They held it together. He was so cool
to him. So so that that they held it together.
But it was a night. It was a good Three
days after, it's still smiling, you know what I mean.
It felt good.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Thanks again, Thanks again for the opportunity and talk to
you soon. Save travels.
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Way to go, Danny, Thanks for your time, Love you boys,
see you soon.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That's Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I did get close to texting Sam Man a while
ago to say, hey, if you need extras, but I thought, no,
he has invited you guys in a couple of movies,
and I was waiting for the invitation for you guys,
so I didn't want to. I didn't want to push
my friendship boundaries there with San Matt. Just so you
(28:08):
guys know, Marvin could have been in a movie.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Oh sor right, Josh de Mell looked out.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
He did.
Speaker 13 (28:16):
We were in the beginning of our buddy games. Oh
it's not happy Gilmore too or anything.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
No, it's not No, it's not so Yeah, Eminem's got
a cameo there. I was shocked at you know, Rory
McElroy's in it, Bryce and to Shambo, it's weird. They
brought together the PGA tour and the live tour for
a movie. So you had to Shambo and Kopka Rory
(28:45):
and they were all together and there's no media around,
so they actually probably got a chance to, you know,
have a herd to hard talk about the live tour
and the PGA tour. So, uh, I guess July will
be happy Gilmore too. John Daly said he thought of
his March or April, and I'm thinking that as a
John knows nothing about movies. John is in the movie.
(29:06):
But I thought that is a unbelievable turnaround and thought
I'd ask the Sandman Tom, and Iowa, Hi, Tom, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (29:16):
Hey, fella's happy Meat Friday. At y'all, I've got the
definitive argument of why Ice Winter is a sports movie,
and it comes down to there's an entire generation of
us now when we watch a football game and there
is a kick miss, the first thing we look at
is the ball, and someone invariably will.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
Yell out places out Dan, love.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You, guys, thank you, thank you, thank you. Tom.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Let's take a break, because Ross Tucker kind enough to
allow Fritzy to push him back a little bit there
so we can make way for big time Hollywood actor
Adam simm.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
I can't believe you guys would do that to me
right before I'm coming on.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Take a break back after this.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six a Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Speaking of good friends, probably not as good a friend
of Fritzi as he is to me. After Fritzi said,
Ross Tucker, why don't you wait twenty minutes? We got
to bring in Adam Sandler and I said no, make
Sandler wait, and you said no, can't do that, Ross Tucker,
CBS Sports, Westwood One, and the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
(30:24):
Ross was on the call for Westwood One last night,
packers in lines. So you can tell your kids you
got bumped for Adam Sandler there, Ross.
Speaker 16 (30:32):
Yeah, you know what's so funny about that, Dan, They're
twelve and eleven.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
I'm wondering what they know about Adam Sandler. I think
it might be way.
Speaker 16 (30:39):
Cooler to tell my wife and friends that I got
pumped now. I actually replied to you guys on X
at Ross Tucker NFL, and I got a new poll
question of the day for Seaton. Should I be honored
or offended that I got bumped for Adam Sandler.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
There's already a one hundred and thirty votes.
Speaker 16 (31:02):
Seventy four percent say honored, twenty six percent say offended.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
So far, I would say you should be honored. You
should be honored.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
To me, I don't care.
Speaker 16 (31:16):
I'm just in a hotel room in Detroit, and it's
a way cooler story now, Like I'm gonna tell everybody
you know, it's a way cooler story that I got
bumped for Sander. Then if I just came on at
ten twenty, the only issue Dan is I scheduled. I
was on the radio in Chicago before I came on.
Fritzy texted me no less than ten times while I'm
(31:39):
on the radio on my phone in Chicago, can you
go letter ten forty eleven oh five Sandler?
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Oh, he's gonna break in his thing. Like like.
Speaker 16 (31:50):
Fritzy, how about just one text with all of the
information as opposed to the ding coming in every three
seconds as you say three more words and hit send.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I would say to that that I didn't mean to
ding up your phone, and I wasn't certainly wasn't aware
that you were on in the middle of an interview
on some on a radio stat even an interview.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
But things were also changing.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
I was getting different notes from the Sandman about when
he was available, so that caused me to change the
update on what I had to share with Ross. While
we were moving things around, I saw I wasn't meant
I mean to be a.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Pasting Thank you, Todd Ross. Can a team peak too soon?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Yes, no question.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Can the Lions be peaking too soon?
Speaker 16 (32:32):
I don't think so because of how injured they are
on the defensive side of the ball. I mean, they
have thirteen guys on IR on defense. Nobody else has
more than seven after a Lee McNeil, who's a stud
by the way, after he went out Dan, they didn't
have a single guy playing last night that was in
(32:53):
the too deep on the defensive line fur their opener.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Think about that. That is nuts.
Speaker 16 (33:00):
They're playing with all guys off the street or practice
squad guys and still beating the Green Bay Packers in
a game like that. It's incredibly impressive. I mean, I'm
watching Kwan Alexander and Jamal Adams makes some plays. They
just signed both those guys this week and it's a
Thursday game.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
It's incredible.
Speaker 16 (33:22):
What they've done, and I would say in particular, the
offense is awesome, but for them to be good enough
on defense to win these games with some of the
guys they're playing with is super impressive.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, I just wonder about that the attrition, When does
that catch up to them?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So far they've managed it.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
But this is where I go back, and I said
at the start of the show, I like the I
think the Eagles are the most balanced team in football
right now, and maybe the best team in football right now.
Buffalo is in there as well. Certainly the Lions are.
I can't diminish what they've done. I just have to
look at the bigger picture here, and that is at
some point in the postseason, you're gonna have to stop
(34:02):
somebody that You're not gonna win all these shootouts, at
least I don't think you will.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
But what would be your biggest concern with the Lions.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
Well, so two things.
Speaker 16 (34:12):
One is reader's gonna come back. Ali McNeil's coming back.
I had Azeloney on the Ross Tucker Football podcast Wednesday.
He's coming back from that broken forum. So they're actually
gonna get a bunch of these guys back before they
get into the postseason. That will help. And the number
one seed is just huge. I mean, being able to
(34:36):
not have to play that first week, so you get
more people healing. And I can tell you last night,
and I know some people said on the television broadcast
that maybe they couldn't hear the crowd. It was loud,
really loud. I thought it affected the Packers a little bit.
My biggest concern Dan about the Lions is fourth down variants.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Right.
Speaker 16 (34:58):
You know, they're very aggressive and they were three out
of four last night and it's a big reason.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Why they won the game.
Speaker 16 (35:05):
And on a lot of those instances, they are going
with the numbers and what the percentages say.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
But the percentages and the numbers don't know.
Speaker 16 (35:14):
It's the NFC championship game, and they don't care, you
know what I mean, Like they don't care. So you know,
let's say it's fifty percent on a lot of fourth
down conversions, right, Well, they were seventy five percent last night.
They were three out of four in three playoff games
or maybe four. I wonder which one of those it
comes back to bite them. They threw the ball, Dan,
(35:36):
on two fourth and goals, they threw it, you know,
a lot of bad things can happen there. A d
Linan can back the pass down golf, can have a
bad throw, good defense by the Packers, the guy could
drop it. When you're in a situation. This is not
the Eagles with the tush push on their fourth downs.
They're throwing the ball on some of these fourth and goals.
(35:56):
They were both touchdowns. They're in one of the playoff games.
It's not gonna happen for him. They're gonna go one
for three on fourth downs and it might be what
costs them.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And I wondered about that, if Dan Campbell is saying,
let's give somebody something to think about in the postseason
by what we're doing in the regular season on some
of these fourth down calls, that we're not going to
be predictable. The predictability is we're going for it, but
there is no predictability in what play we call there.
That's the only thing I thought of there. But if
(36:28):
you played on the lines and you're on the offensive
side of the ball being alignment, and you know Dan
Campbell's going forward on fourth down, what does that do
for a team when they get in a huddle and
you basically know when we get to third. We're getting
to fourth down as well.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Well.
Speaker 16 (36:46):
There's two awesome aspects of that. Number One, we saw
this a bunch last night. It enables them to be
willing to run the ball on third and medium, which
really helps the play action pass game, really helps out
the offensive line. They're not afraid to run third, four, five,
and six. They'll run the ball. They ran for a
first down a couple of times they didn't, but they
(37:07):
got closer than they went forth on fourth down. So
that's a cool aspect of it. And then the other
thing is just the belief and faith that that team has.
I thought a couple times started the second half, then
after the they stopped them on fourth down and pat
the Packers went up twice in the second half, and
I thought, Okay, what a valiant effort by the Lions,
(37:29):
but they're out manned and it's just not going to
happen for them. I think because of how much Dan
Campbell believes in them, I think it reinforces the self belief,
the confidence. We talked to David Montgomery, I ain't eagle
on myself after the game, and he said, Dan Campbell
told them all week almost every fourth down if it's close,
(37:52):
we are going So those guys they just know that
Campbell believes in them, and even if they don't get one,
they know they're going for it and they know their
coach believes in them that they're gonna get I think
that's a big reason why they're so resilient and they
keep coming back even when the Packers take the lead
like they did.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Curious your opinion on A Z's al Shire, the three
game suspension on Trevor Lawrence and will we see a
modification of the rule or a possible rule change with
this play.
Speaker 16 (38:26):
I think they need to strongly consider what they're going
to do with the quarterback slide. I never thought of
this until I heard Rex Ryan talking about it earlier
in the week, and I'll give them a lot of
credit for that. It's not a smart decision by a
quarterback unless you Tom Brady it and do it super early.
But that kind of goes against human instinct, right, Like
(38:49):
human instinct is to get as many yards as you
can and then get down. But when you slide feet first,
the thing highest off the ground, the last thing to
get down and protected is your head. You're making yourself very,
very vulnerable. Now, I thought al shi Or could done
a better job of avoiding that collision. And I will
(39:14):
say this, though anybody's ever played, We'll tell you everything
out there happened so much faster than that does when
you're watching on TV. I mean, it happens in an instant.
I thought he got one game for basically the hit
and his track record. You know, he's had some other
questionable hits. I thought he got another game because of
(39:35):
how bad it looked for Trevor Lawrence and cart it
Off and all that. I thought the third game honestly
was because of his reaction afterwards and like the riot
that it started. I actually really thought they would reduce
it to two. I'm surprised that they didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Always great to talk to you, and thanks for joining
us and my pleasure.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
I don't know when Happy Gilmore two will be released.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
It's probably no long it'll be Jolyn.
Speaker 16 (40:02):
I know that I feel like John Daly doesn't know
what he's talking about.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
I know at least that.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
And you're probably going to get bumped from the guest
list of being able to see the movie, So just
letting you know get you might get bumped again.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Thank you guys, I.
Speaker 8 (40:16):
Love that movie. We watched that fifty times in college.
Love it.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Thank you, Dan, Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, the
Ross Tucker Football Podcast, and social media at Ross Tucker, NFL.
You got the Bills coming up for the Lions. You've
got the Niners, the artist formerly known as the Niners,
you got the Bears, you got the Vikings. So not
(40:40):
an easy route, but they should be able to win
three out of four. Final Hour on the way, Booger
McFarlane will stop by. Hope you'll join us. Final hour
in this meet Friday after this
