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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's a meat Friday and chef Greg from Rectech came
in because we got some celebrities here and he is
whipping up a batch. Dylan, run down the menu you
picked out?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right?

Speaker 4 (00:16):
We got the loaded Italian meat fatty okay, Yeah, low
Country shrimp and grits okay, Jersey Shore Italian hogi stromboli okay.
And smoked shotgun shells, which is hot pork sausage, stuffed managot,
wrapped in bacon and smoked.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I've had any of these. An Italian meat fatty never,
I don't think so. Low Country shrimp and I've had.
I've had shrimp and grits.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
I was gonna say, if if you've had any of them, that.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Would be it.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Uh, Jersey Shore, Italian hogy stromboli okay Uh. And smoke
shotgun shells.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
What's that?

Speaker 4 (00:59):
It's basic some manna cotti or managatt, which I'll probably
get yelled at for either one.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
It's like a.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Giant pennae pasta shell stuff with sausage and wrapped with
baby If.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
You're if you're watching on peacock right now, that's a
great shot there out on the grill.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
I don't know what's dripping from.

Speaker 6 (01:18):
Is that a fatty or that a shot ye up
top of the fatties?

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Oh those are fatty.

Speaker 7 (01:24):
So it looks like kind of a roll of meat
with meat inside it and more meat.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Okay, with cheese coming out of the tip.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Who has it better than we do?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Pole?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Question for our two Nilan All right, we've got some
important ones to get through.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Dan.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Should golfers be permitted to smoke cigarettes during an event?
This is another todd one. Yes, yes, but not while
playing in a major or absolutely not? That's unprofessional? Show
some class, nicotine boy?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
What yah, nicotine boy? Put the cigarette down. You're playing
in a major.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay, smoking cigarettes is allowed on the PGA Tour and
during major championships. Daniel Brown is a guy from England
who kind of surprising people that had a really good
first round.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Charlie Hall on the old PGA Tour.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
We love Charlie. They fire up heaters, they smoke mid round.
Well here's Daniel Brown at the Open Championship talking about smoking.
I believe you're partial to a cigarette when you're out
on the Fairway.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Given the conditions at the moment, as anybody said anything
to you, you're still allowed to have a smoke while
you're out there, or are you at.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
A fire risk and being told otherwise?

Speaker 8 (02:37):
But I've been making sure that they're that they're out.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
When you stop out on right, okay? So you still
you still managed to have a smoke, right.

Speaker 8 (02:47):
Okay, hopefully for the rest of the week. It might
be a big drop off by Sunday if I'm not allowed. Sorry, mom,
I'm probably like seven or around.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
All right, seven heaters. John Daly did it all the time.
Go back to Arnold Palmer. Arnie was smoking on the course.
Uh on Hel Cabrera, Miguel huh Jimenez. Those are also
some guys who smoked heaters there. Now here's the problem
I have. These conditions are really really dry. At the
Open Championship. I would hate if you know, you think

(03:24):
something's out and next thing you know, it's spread like wildfire.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yes, all of a.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Sudden you're losing the lead. Do you kind of flick
it like a diversion a little Yeah, You're like, oh no,
the eleventh Fairway went up in flames.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
I guess we have to skip that hole.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I never dated anybody who smoked. I probably would make
an exception for Charlie Hall, but uh yeah, she's not
there firing up heaters now now she stopped.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, I believe she said she uh just quit. She
made like a ten dollars bet with like one of
our friends or something, and she just I think cold turkey.
Did I love the like? I'll smoke a dart on
the course from time to time, I.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Know, But I told you when we were playing in Tahoe,
you can't smoke out there.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
You could vape if you wanted to vape.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, And I was like, all right, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
But you know you'd see sometimes, you know, God like,
I've smoked a cigar on the golf course.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
But I don't do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I don't want to waste a good cigar while you
put it down, you know, and who knows what's on
the ground, yes, PAULI.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
According to Golf Monthly, which comes out every month, yeah,
twenty twenty four PG Player Tour Handbook is one hundred
and fifty nine pages. There is no language that prevents
golfers from smoking on the course in any way. The
only language is golfers. PGA Tour golfers cannot smoke in
the locker room or family areas where there may be kids. Now,
they did find out that the PGA Tour encourages players

(04:58):
that smoke to do so if they can off camera
or away from the tea box. But that's not an
official censure or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, because sometimes you can cup a cigarette, so people
aren't seeing it growing up in a family of smokers that,
you know, be like I'd say to my dad, were
you not smoking a cigarette? No? Okay, certainly smells like cigarettes. Yep,
must be your brother, yes Doling.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, so kind of like what Pauli was saying. The
the Players Championship this year, Colin Morricow has paired up
with Ludwig Oberg and Seawoo Kim and Maricow Withdrew, so
they were Ludwig and Seawoo Kim were a twosome, so
they got really backed up on the tea box and
at one point they panned the camera over and Seawoo
Kim was like half in a bush lighting a.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Cigarette, waiting for the tee off.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
But it says, I've got it official here. Smoking cigarettes
is allowed on the PGA Tour and during major championships,
especially if you're over. You know in Great Britain they
smoke sun up sundown.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
Yeah, pol, I'd like to even it out for the
guys that do smoke, and maybe there's a tournament one
weekend like the hon To Open where you must smoke,
it's a smoking only tournament, and then see who has
the stamina there.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I've often said that they should have bars that are
designated for smokers, that you just say, if you go
in there, you know people are going to smoke.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Ook.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I'm not a smoker. I smoke cigars, but uh, you
know when people drink then they end up wanting to
fire up a heater and you could be in New
York and you'll see all these guys on the outside
of the bar smoking a cigarette then going back in.
They should be able to have smoking designated bars.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yes, yeah, Nat.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
When you find like a SIG's inside bar, now it's
such a luxury, like they don't really exist anymore. So
when you do stumble, like even in other countries it's
more common, like I don't I remember like in Prague,
I was like every single bar just everyone smoking, and
then you feel kind of obligated to do so as
well because it's fun. But like hear the I think
in the States now, if it's like a private club,

(07:03):
technically you can still allow smoking inside. And when you
pop into one of those, it's like this is yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I mentioned there's a place and it's in the West
Village and I can go in there and smoke cigar.
They sell cigars and you can go in there and
smoke a cigar and it's a bar, but it's kind
of a club that's been grandfathered in and it's kind
of I.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Don't know the name of it, PAULI do you have
that place.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
There's one called Hudson Bar and books there you go,
that's the one we've been to.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, that's yeah, Yeah, it's great. Yeah pulling.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
I did find a website you could look it up
where it has lists of bars that allow smoking to
some level and big cities and other places, and cigar
bars can also have people smoking cigarettes if.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
They choose to.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
And a few old school bars, especially in Manhattan, if
you're old enough, you can have a smoking room adjacent
to the normal bar.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
So there's about a dozen in New York City you
can fire out.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
Yeah, deal.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Well, when we're at the drawing room in Pittsburgh for
the draft, I know it's obviously it's like a cigar lounge,
so you're smoking there, and our our pal Jay who
works here in the back, went to like a cigarette
and they're like, sorry, you can't do that in here,
and he was like what, Yeah, it's not fair.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I know, I know everybody's smoking cigars at this cigar lounge.
And he fires up a heater and they go, hey,
you got to put that out. And he's like why,
I go, you're gonna only smoke cigars.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
Yes, Paul might be an unpopular cause, but stand up
for smokers.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
I got to get behind.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, I have to agree. That's I'm on Jay's side.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
With that one.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Like that does seem the distinction seems arbitrary.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, now there's Jay.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
If you're watching on Peacock, that's not his first cigarette
of the day, by the way, the hour, Yes, yes,
there he is. Yeah, picture of health right there. Yes, Marvin,
he took the cigarette out of his ear. Oh oh
he did?

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yeah, Yeah that's great. Yeah, Deyl who.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Will smoke more cigarettes today? Daniel Brown or Jay Jay?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Jay, Jay's not even golfing.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
He just that's the big German's brother does a lot
of work behind the scenes.

Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yes, poet, you know it's a fun topic. But I
was thinking of a golfer like Daniel Brown or John Day.
I've never smoked, but I'm sure part of it is
calming nerves and anxiety and it's got to be way
worse on the golf course.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, that's obvious.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
And Daniel Brown said that, you know, as he plays
better and you know, the tension ratches is up and.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
He smokes a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
All right, A couple of phone calls in here once again,
Darius Rucker will join us.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Coming up, you.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Know, the the consolation match coming up with France and
England on Saturday. I guess they're calling it the Bronze Boot,
so third place. Here's what I don't understand. If I
look at the Golden Boot odds, three of the four
players who have the best odds aren't even playing in
the championship match. So it's Imbape, it's Messy Cain and

(09:58):
Jude Bellingham. Now this is just the top score, correct,
This isn't you're the best player or the highest score.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
For the team that won the Championship.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Right, So these guys can rack up three goals in
this Bronze Boot game and then it counts, right, they
can win the Golden Boot, yes, Paulin.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
The rules for the Golden Boots, which we've all Golden
booted before. If two or more players finished level with
goals scored in the World Cup, the tiebreaker is most assists,
and then the second tiebreaker is fewest minutes played to
get those goals. What doesn't count as penalty kicks, you
don't get those goals.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Kay's kays.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Will Argentina have the lead before the ninetieth minute, because
argentina has not. I don't think Argentina's had a lead
before the ninetieth minute in the tournament. Like you want
to talk about living on the edge. Let's see Ben
in South Carolina. Good morning, Ben. What do you have

(11:01):
for me today?

Speaker 9 (11:04):
Morny Dan, thanks for taking my call, second time a
long time. Five to eleven, working in a sweatbox, one
ninety four. My wife and I are going to see
Darius Rutger at Red Rocks this next Saturday.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
We're looking forward to the show.

Speaker 9 (11:19):
I realized when I called before I flew a little
too close to the Sun, expecting Todd to have a
chance to be back on stage with Darius. However, I'm
sure Darius would like a chance to win back his
money as they say.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
So, this is what I proposed.

Speaker 9 (11:34):
NFL Week fourteen, Dolphins ut Broncos. They could bet Todd
and Darius could be a straight up win. I'll let
you work out the detailed parameters. If Darius wins the bet,
he gets to give Todd at pie in the face
on stage at one of his concerts. But if Todd wins,
then Darius performed an acoustics show at the Man Cave

(11:56):
backs up Todd on a song of those choice.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
No, I can't do that to Darius. Darius has done enough.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
He is given back to the community and had Todd
on stage for two songs. Todd has been Todd has
been begging me to sing a song with Darius. He
wore a t shirt that we made up when Todd
was on stage with Darius, and it's Darius when he's like,
you know, eight years old playing football. You got your
wristbands on your red wristband.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
I don't know why, but you do.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
In the picture he has like reddish wristbands in the photos.
I wanted to try to copy that part of it.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
All right, Well, Todd would like to sing a song
with Darius, and he keeps saying that he promises he'd
only keep you know, he have one song? Okay, alright,
once again Todd is not injured while singing, but it

(12:54):
sounds like that and with its hands in his pocket.
What a presentation.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
And that was the number three.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Song in nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 10 (13:02):
And to listen to that, it's like, how could that
have even been in the top five hundred songs?

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Alex in Utah, Hi, Alex, what do you have for me?

Speaker 11 (13:10):
Good morning, Dale Man. I'm calling that a good good
segue talking about the I guess the bronze medal game.

Speaker 12 (13:17):
We have this today in my office and.

Speaker 11 (13:19):
I'm wondering what you guys think. So if I'm Harry
Kane and Bope and then Bella Jee Bellingham, I know
a lot of people say this game on Saturday doesn't
mean anything. And an athlete as a competitor, is there
any part of you.

Speaker 12 (13:34):
That is just wants to get the bad taste out
of your mouth from the elimination game and just try
to end the World Cup on a win. I know,
I know, I know when I played pickup ball and
I have played a bad game. I just I'm eager
to get back out there.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well, I think that if you're a competitor once you
get out there, But if I'm Harry Kane, jud Bellingham
and Bope, I want to get ready for a season
that's coming up. I've given you everything I got and
this is a made for TV. We can make more money.
Third place game. I don't think anybody proudly displays there,

(14:10):
hey we finished third place at the World Cup banner,
but I could be wrong. Luke in Texas, Hi, Lucas,
welcome back.

Speaker 13 (14:20):
Hey and good morning, Good morning. I've got three things
for you. I'll try to go quick. Number One, I
can only assume that Will Ferrell and Darius are going
to be good guests and bring a six pack to
the ban Cave. And you know it's typically the price
of admission for something like meat Friday. I we'd love
to see how that turns out. Number two, the discussion
around MESSI. I just feel like he is a unique

(14:41):
athlete when it comes to the level of fame, the
greatness of his play. It feels like whenever he touches
the ball. It just the temperature in the stadium rises,
people are get more excited. I feel like he and
Shohey are really the current two athletes that are like that.
And I was thinking through who are other athletes that
get close to I think of like Tiger in the
early two thousands. It's rare than you think the people

(15:04):
have this outsized effect on their sports. And then third,
I need a little dad advice here. I've got three
boys and a girl, and my girl, my sweet little girl,
is wanting to get her ears pierced. How was that
conversation for you and you and the Danettes whenever one
of your girls wanted to get their ears pierced.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
That was on my wife's watch that she I think
she had an age where she said to my daughters,
you can get your ears pierced. It might have been
like eleven or twelve, something like that, but I remember
my oldest daughter was going to get her ears pierced.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
It was a big, big deal.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
We all went and then she started crying and then
she ran away, and so we were like, okay, let's
go home. And then she eventually said, okay, I'll do it.
And I kept saying you don't have to do it
for anybody, but you say, oh, if you want yours piers,
you can get earspears. But we went as a show

(16:04):
of support, and I think we made her nervous. But
I think she might have been eleven or something right
around there. Twelve yes doing I think that's.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Got to be an underrated, tough job, being like the
ear piercing lady at Claire's, just a bunch of like
three to eleven year old girls screaming and crying.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Well, I met somebody whose baby was like one and
they got the ears pierced, and I go, shouldn't you
let the kid have us?

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Say? Uh, yes, Marvin, you never had your earspiers. I
don't remember that.

Speaker 6 (16:41):
That's a commissioner silver answer, not.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Not ears ear No, no one here, I didn't need two.
Nobody did two back in the day.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Oh I did two? You had two?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I did?

Speaker 10 (16:56):
I caught some flak from the home base, yeah, because
back in the day they emit something.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
I was like, no, no, no, I swear by the way.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
One of the back room guys Jack, he has a
friend who is not from England, but he got a
tattoo before England played their last match and lost, and
I think it says it's coming home. And it was
for the World Cup. So he got an England tattoo

(17:29):
and he showed me it's on his thigh and I
think it says it's coming home.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
And then they lost the match.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
Yes, Paul, can you go back and change it to
they're going?

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (17:44):
Do you respect the commitment to the team.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
He's not even English, he's from here.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
He's English.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, he speaks English. That's is close.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yes, Dylan, I respect the commitment to getting a bad tattoo.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yes, you lead the league. Not anymore. Let's take a break.

Speaker 2 (18:04):

And you promised me, okay that your last show.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
I'm going to come on and we're telling some story.
You promised me.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Do you even remember some of the things that happened
on tour.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Absolutely no.

Speaker 15 (21:03):
And I'm talking about some of the stuff that we've
happened with you.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
We've man, we've done some fun stuff.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
But not today.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Not no, no, no, don't you get canceled.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, you guys did some damage though back in the day.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
It was vicious.

Speaker 16 (21:21):
When I was writing that book and really starting to remember,
it was vicious.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
But do you do you think you had to go
against the stereotype of you guys were just a nice
poppy band and you're not getting it, you know behind
the music, you know, nobody's getting in trouble.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
You're not Motley Crew.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah. I think we you know, we fought it. We
fought that our whole careers.

Speaker 16 (21:41):
I mean, idio, we've we're still fighting that that we
weren't that cool or anything like that. But for us,
I think the reason we were going so hard is
because we could. You know, le we had all going
to University of South Carolina. I had gone that because
it was the biggest party school in the country, and
you know, we just had a blast. And when it
really got bad, when it exploded, like when we could

(22:02):
afford beer, it got bad, man, they got bad.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
What was was there a dangerous city?

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah? New Orleans, New Orleans and Las Vegas.

Speaker 16 (22:13):
We had a rule two days three days tops because
if not you know, you know, you. You end up
doing stuff in New Orleans just like you that this
didn't really happen, but it happened. So those two cities
were like, we gotta be in and out of those places.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Did you do rehab?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
No?

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I didn't. I did.

Speaker 16 (22:29):
Uh, you better quit drinking or I'm gonna make you miserable.
So I stopped partying.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
That was it?

Speaker 16 (22:35):
Yeah, I mean it was overnight. It was truly overnight
when I stopped really partying.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
Or it was overnight, you still get high.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
I mean I used to like to have a good time.
I took some beers. We like the life is good.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
No, you had one beer when we went to dinner.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, Like now you're health conscious, like I don't even
know you anymore.

Speaker 16 (22:55):
I am health conscious. You know when your doctor's telling
you about your health and you gotta get healthy, you know,
you do. I want to live twenty thirty more years,
you know, and have some fun, live healthy, so you know, Yeah,
but you also drink with you?

Speaker 5 (23:09):
But how did this? How did Keith Richards do it?

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Like?

Speaker 5 (23:11):
I don't how do you perform when you're I don't
understand it hammered.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't understand.

Speaker 16 (23:16):
I mean I mean, I've done that, but I don't
understand the length of time he did it and to
still be doing it at his level. Like I was
one of those Stones guys that were like, you know,
I like the Stones, but you know, why, why is
it still big? And about two tours ago I didn't
go see him in Vegas with my buddies, and we
go to see him in Vegas and this is no exaggeration,

(23:39):
they hit the stage and I went, oh, that's why.
The second they had the stage, I got exactly what and.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
It was just pure rock and roll. I was like,
this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
I just don't know if if we look at Keith
with degree of difficulty of what he's done, what he's accomplished,
he's still live. And I think he kind of stopped everything.
Maybe he smokes heaters.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, I don't think he really. He definitely doesn't go
the way he but.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
These guys are doing.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And then it set the stage for Motley Crue and
Guns and Roses and you gotta have Jack Daniels and Ozzi.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know all that.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Did you fall like, did you feel like if you're
a rock and roll band, you gotta be out there drinking.

Speaker 16 (24:21):
Oh yeah, like even like I look back to our
shows back in the day, like even on stage, you know,
drinking that bottle of Gym Bean before the show's over.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
I mean, what is that? I mean every night and we're.

Speaker 16 (24:33):
Playing five nights a week and I'm putting down a
bottle of Jim be before the show's over. You know,
it's like, what are you doing with yourself? But that
was I'm sure that was part of it. And Jegermeister
beggers that you guys used.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
To drink, and it was Jim Beam and Jegermeister.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
The dumbest thing. I can't believe you all drink that stuff.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Well, but you guys were trying to invent something to
keep you going.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
At that point.

Speaker 16 (24:56):
Especially at that point, it was it was we gotta
find something.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
To I'm retiring in a year and a half. When
are you retire two years? Really?

Speaker 16 (25:08):
I might I've been really looking at it. And I
played one hundred and ten shows last year. I mean,
that's what what am I doing? And you know, I
still like making records and playing and everything, but I'm
really starting to like.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Being home a lot.

Speaker 16 (25:23):
I like being home a lot and so I'm looking
at maybe doing a tour, one more big hoodie thing,
and you know you're gonna do a HOOTI thing if
we call it, if we call it, I gotta do
one more hoodie thing, you know, because we have to
finish at Williams Rice Stadium.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Okay, I mean it's just our last show.

Speaker 16 (25:42):
When we say we're done, it's got to be Williams
of Rice Stadium.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Okay, So South Carolina, Yeah, okay, Well why don't you
just do one show.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
You don't have to do a tour.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
You just made four, three guys very unhappy. You just
made three guys very.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
If there was a fight, We're talking to Darius Rutger,
if there was a fight between all of the blowfish,
who wins between all four of them?

Speaker 5 (26:07):
All four?

Speaker 16 (26:08):
Yeah, I'd like to say I win, But it be
me a Sony sony, Yeah, because Dean's the strongest, but
Deans the nicest. Sony from Chicago used to fight the streets,
you know, Mark and Dina from Gaithersburg.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
You know, I don't think. I don't know if they.

Speaker 16 (26:24):
Haven't really better to fight in their lives. You know,
I grew up with Charleston fighting and so I think
it would be Mia Sony, but it'd be a scrap
at the end.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Todd has been begging me just sing another song with you.

Speaker 16 (26:37):
I'm not tonight. I told you I'm in no way.
I'm in no way. But we're not gonna do this
this time. We're doing never gonna, We're gonna do never gonna,
never gonna let you that.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
How about we just do a little bit of that?

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Todd?

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Is that okay?

Speaker 15 (26:53):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (26:53):
With Rick Astley, Rick, someone's gonna get Rick who starts it?

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Always?

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Okay, we're no strangers to love. You know the rules.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
And so.

Speaker 10 (27:09):
This so commitments for I'm dreaming of.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
You wouldn't get this from many.

Speaker 10 (27:16):
Other car And if you ask me how I'm feeling,
don't tell me you're too shot to see the never
gonna deep you never gonna let you down, never gonna
run around, didn't hurt you, never gonna tell line, Desac,

(27:43):
You're never gonna never gonna.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
That was good.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
That was lovely, That's great, just made my days. Forming
with Darius is the greatest I know he could sing.

Speaker 15 (27:54):
Man, Okay, I thought it was great. There were moments
that weren't great.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Okay, Old moments that Marvin let Darius hear just a
little bit of when Todd joined you, but he picked
the song. Yeah, I felt it sounds like he's wounded.

Speaker 15 (28:22):
I don't think you could hear himself A well. I
was very for him so we could hear himself, because
that's what that was. He couldn't hear himself on that
stage because we don't have monitory made.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
So you will have him on.

Speaker 16 (28:34):
He comes up absolutely, okay, but not this timer, not tonight,
not tonight.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
We have to practice.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, we're doing. We're doing okay, so that that'll be
one song that you know. I tried to talk him
out of doing too.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
I know.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I'm backstage one dude one, and and your crowd is
out there, and all of a sudden they're going, wait
a minute, okay something, this guy's up there, make a wish.
Kid is up there. That's hard. And then all of
a sudden he goes into the second one. Well, your

(29:11):
audience is like, okay, what what's going on here? Then
I think you went right into a hoodie song like
let her cry.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Oh that's what you do, that's what you do. When
that happens. You got to kill with a banger.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
You gotta go back, I gotta I gotta bring him back.
What's the cover song that you want to do that
you haven't done?

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Oh? Wow, great question.

Speaker 16 (29:34):
Uh cover song I want to do that I haven't
done honestly, and I don't know why I haven't done it.
But the first song that comes to mind is Detroit
Rock City by Chris. I've always wanted to sing that song,
but it's so high we'd have to change the.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Key and everything. But that is one of my absolute
favorite always well.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Time Detroit by Kiss. Did you ever meet Kiss?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh? Yeah, oh my buddies boys.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, but it feels like you got n w A
and you got flavor flav and dude.

Speaker 16 (30:05):
Let me tell you that moment at Stage Coach when
Public Enemy came out on stage. It was one of
the greatest moments in my career. It was unbelievable. It
was unbelievably great. It was unbelievably great. We're at stage Coach,
was Stage Coach, and we come out and do Flight

(30:26):
to Bower freaking Genius and they said yes Public Amy.

It was genius.

Who haven't you played.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
