Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our two. Here in Las Vegas. We're at
the Fountain Blue Hotel. Some friends got up early with us,
but the gang's all here. Fritzi, Seaton, Marv Paulie, yours
truly what Frank Calliendo will stop by. Nicole Brisco works
for the Mothership covering Formula one. Nobody covers Formula one
(00:22):
like we do. No, buddy, Okay, okay, we're learning.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We are learning. You know, we're open to this. We're
open to pin wheel, open wheel. We're trying to figure
this out. Understand. I just know Max Verse stopping is
the favorite for the championship, or at least this, uh,
this championship here in Vegas. Yes, Tom, there ain't no
stopping Max. Thank you to everybody, says thank you, Ton, Yes, Pauli.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Orlando Norris, I don't know much about him. I think
he's British. But you just say I'm Orlando fan and
then you sound.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Like you know what you're talking about. Yeah, well, Lewis
Hamilton may be the greatest driver of all time.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yes, Eton, there's something so awesome too about like what
do you do for a living?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I drive for Ferrari.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Like these insane car brands you know that are like
the top of the top, and then you're a professional
driver for that brand.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
That's incredible.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, Mercedes McLaren.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
But you're looking at, you know, the streets of Las
Vegas is where the race is. It's just weird to
be driving and then seeing the track. But I love
the overhead shots, especially at night when they have these races.
I think the one in Dubai I watched that, but
it's kind of presented as almost a pinball machine. It's
just so much going on the lights and how the
(01:37):
city kind of envelops the race. But we'll talk to
Nicole brisco show will help us. Maybe she can give
us a little bit of a cliff notes version here
what to look for. We were caught up in driving
in the rain in Formula one but not Nascar. And
do you have windshield wipers? You know, the important things
that the serious F one fan already knows, Yes, Pom.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And they're gonna be driving through this eats past all
the attractions. I can hear the announcements going.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
For stopping past the Spearmint Rhino at per hour so
we're here in Vegas. We're in the second floor the
food court here Fountain Blue Hotel. They've been our home
away from home out in Vegas and rolled out the
red carpet during the Super Bowl and certainly become friends
of the show. Eight seven to seven three DP show.
(02:22):
We'll try to get to some more phone calls here.
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America. The official trading cards of the program and
our calendar is available at dan Patrick dot com. Autograph
non autograph calendars. Somebody asks if the non autographs cost more.
I said, that's very funny, But no autograph calendar of
cost you. It's just a little sense, a little calendar
(02:43):
sense of you. Yeah, you could also go to the
Tailgate store and get an autograph calendar with select Tailgate
purchases while supplies last. All right, let me do this
in dramatic fashion. Here Sunday night, two quarterbacks with firepower
and finesse get their time in the spotlight. Baker Mayfield
leads the Bucks against Matthew Stafford in the Rams Sunday
(03:05):
seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock. You don't have to
hype that game at all. Yes, Mormon, who's your.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
MVP so far?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Matthew Stafford. Okay, not even close. And two weeks ago
it was Baker Mayfield. No, that was probably three or
four weeks ago. But you know that Bucks lineup has
been decimated, you know, all the injuries with skilled position.
But Baker's done a great job. I mean that game
in Buffalo, I've be surprised it was high scoring. But
Matthew Stafford's been great, been great, And he was the
(03:35):
one guy said if he stays healthy, the Rams can
win a Super Bowl because of him. If he stays healthy,
they can win. And right now he's healthy, and you
know they're probably one of, if not the top, the
second favorite in the NFC to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah, poem.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And you can find stories from two years ago when
Matthew Stafford was eleven touchdowns, eight picks, and he was
injured in twenty twenty two, like, should the Rams start
that transition plan?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do they extend his contract? Three years ago it didn't
look good for his future.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well then everybody said, hey, the Rams got two first
round draft picks, so they're going to get their quarterback
this upcoming draft Stafford's got one more year. I mean,
at some point you got to start looking at that.
But I don't know if you get somebody let him
sit for a while. You know, I was looking at
the Falcon situation. They thought that they were in a
perfect situation that we got our quarterback, Kirk Cousins, we
(04:28):
can't pass up Michael Pennix. And now Michael Pennix is
injured and you got Kirk Cousins, and you're going nowhere,
and then some people may lose their jobs because of that,
and you're stuck with Michael Pennix and you're stuck with
Kirk Cousins. Although somebody who I know in the NFL
circles said, don't be surprised if they try to trade
(04:49):
Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota for next year. Wow, there's yeah,
that's heavy though.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's a vote of non confidence in JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah. Yeah, but once again, you've got to stay healthy
and you know what you have in Kirk Cousins. And
I think we thought, you know, JJ McCarthy had as
much pressure on him this year as anybody because of
who they got rid of. You got rid of Sam
Darnold and Danny Dimes, Kirk Cousins goes to Atlanta. You
use a high draft pick on JJ McCarthy. He had
(05:22):
to be great because this team was ready to go
this year, and that is, uh, that's a big miss
right now, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And with JJ McCarthy, it's not just that he's not
playing well and not staying healthy. He suffers in comparison
to Jayden Daniels. Kayla Williams is getting better. Drake May
you know, really hit his stride and it may like,
what's happening to you?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Where are you at? Well, a lot of times we
look at a quarterback and then we base his success
off the other quarterbacks taken in the draft, like Ryan
Leaf is one of the biggest busts of all time
because well, Peyton Manning was in that same draft. But
the Colts wisely took Peyton Manning, although a lot of
revision in his history. Not everybody in the Colts war
room was sold on Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf, but
(06:05):
they did make the right call. But a lot of
times we'll go, oh my god, you could have had
you know, like Greg Odin, you know, people like that guy.
You're gonna take him? That high, you know Sam Buie.
Of course, the injury plagued center when they could have
had Michael Jordan in Portland.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yes, Martin, that happened recently with Bryce Young and c J.
Stroud like that. That hurts even more when somebody else
is doing way better that e was picked after you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What's the poll question for the second hour of the program,
even though we only had one short period of time
in the first hour.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Seaton, Yeah, we're gonna get a couple more going. This
was sort of in the same vein as the one
Paul suggested. But cooler profession f one racer, pro surfer,
I have like a rodeo cowboy or girl.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
That's kind of a pretty baller job.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
And we have room for a fourth if anybody else
has one cooler profession though, being a professional surfer, that's
pretty awesome, so Kelly Slater, Yeah, Lewis Hamilton mm or.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
There is no I don't know of a professional rodeo person,
but that seems like kind of an awesome job.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
There's not a lot of people that do that. I
don't want to be a professional bull rider. I want
to have everything about it until I get on the
bull Yeah, yeah, so that would that would.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Have you ever been on a horse, Yeah, it's scary
as hell.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Getting on a horse for the first time is terrifying
because they're gigantic and you're like, what am I I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Supposed to control this thing. I like to go bare back, relaxed,
but have a saddle on the horse. It's just I'm
I'm bare back.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's the Everyone should have a saddle on the horse, Yes,
they should.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yes, So you want the bull rider aesthetic, yes, okay,
just not the actual professional.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh my god. No, and your you know your job
last eight seconds? Whoa Todd.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I've been there to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're competence and you make it with college. You're a
bull rider without without the cowboy boot. Oh no, you
do have a cowboy But I went to Denman Diamonds.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
What is to live at California?
Speaker 8 (08:07):
But the whole outfit?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yes, yes, Funny.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
When I was driving out here, I pulled off at
a place I don't know, somewhere in like den in
the Colorado or Utah or something like that. I was
looking for a hotel and I drove past a boot
barn and I was like, I almost turned around to
go take a picture of him for Tome the Boot
Barn and San Bernardino.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's the one seven hundred bucks I spent there.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yes, Dan, I just happened to have the PBR rider
rankings up on my screen.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Of course I did.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I kicked that up at all time. Jared Parsonage is
the number one rider this year. The pbrr rankings makes
a lot of dough. But like that's not something you know.
If you're a surf champion, you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Make F one money. No, no, no, not few money.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But like surfing people can try. Most people don't ever
try bull riding or ever try race car driving, So
those two are kind of stand alone.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I think I I would like to be an F
one guy. They dressed very cool, they got everything about it.
Looks like I mean Brad Pitt did a movie on
Formula one.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He'd be like the eighth best good looking riff driver.
He'd be like eighth No fact, yes, Todd, I'm.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
Trying to figure out which would impress the ladies the most.
You're they're hanging on the beach watching you surf, or
you're in some kind of saloon and you're able to
do the mechanical bull for minutes on end, or whatever's
considered a good run, or of those that we mentioned.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
All you gotta do is get out of a car,
take your helmet off, and you got your unit, you
got your you know, your fire suit on.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
You don't even have to say one.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yes, I think you guys are underappreciating though, the sorm
of the sort of primal nature of uh, controlling a
wild animal that's crazy, that's like probably goes back to
like the oldest.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Form of competition is can you team this thing?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wow? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, it's kind of neanderthal in a way.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Okay, yeah, yeah, but I'm going to control a car
that goes over two hundred in twenty five miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, but can you get on a bull or a
horse or something that's going crazy and make that thing
do what you wanted to do?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But they only have to do it for eight seconds.
I have to do it for a couple of hours.
But everybody drives not that fast, right, but they do drive.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yes, I'm on the PBR website and they also have
the bull rankings.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
They ranked the bulls, so you know ex caliber.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You don't want to get on that.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
You don't want to be on buck Nasty This year
he's four for four with Buckoffs Nasty, he's leaving the league.
That's right, buck Nasty four for four and buck offs?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Are you gonna get me?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
What's Josh Getty on that?
Speaker 8 (10:38):
I want to know which one of those professions lends
itself to the best bulls?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, the cardiac Yeah, cardiac bull Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Fuck nasty, Buck Nasty to get on the show before
he bucks you. Let me see Michael in Scottsdale. Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (10:56):
Good morning? I was just calling because apparently you guys
are like Formula one rookie or more to the sport.
So I've been around round it since nineteen eighty A
couple suggestions is trying to get I'm sure you've got
a media pass, so maybe you can get a ride
in the pace car or the medical car. I'll be
(11:18):
doing medical coverage. I don't know what turn I'll be in.
And there's also I saw seating by a radio flyer
car the other day, and there's a guy in town
there that's got a grocery cart that holds six people.
So you might want to check that out and what
your thoughts are in the forty nine ers this year.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
That's a classic Hall.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm amazed. I'm amazed that they've held it together. Christian
McCaffery was my Offensive Player of the Year and Rock
Pretty is back. So hey, they got a big.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Game coming up this weekend. Big game, forty nine Ers
against the Panthers. I think, right, I think yeah, Marvin
the Niners resident fan.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Yep, they played Bryce Young and those pesky Panthers.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Uh, Jake and Colorado. Hey Jake, what's out of your mind?
Speaker 12 (12:08):
Hey DC, I'm still laughing about Fritzy last and eight seconds.
You guys are talking about racing in the rain a
lot of reasons that NASCAR doesn't and F one does.
Some of it's a lot of its history. F One's
always raced in the rain, so they've always had tires
developed for the rain, and they've, especially in the last
twenty years, have tracks developed with runoff for safety. Whereas
(12:31):
NASCAR's never raced in the rain and you're usually on
an oval and you've got no runoff. You've also got
tire development that plays a huge role. They're very, very
different tires. They're not just slicks with grooves cut in them.
So you've got manufacturers that would have to develop tires
for NASCAR that would make.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Them work correctly. And then kind of like.
Speaker 12 (12:48):
The NFL, the people who run it always want to
talk about safety.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Safety.
Speaker 12 (12:52):
Safety, it's not really part of it. I mean it is,
but that's that's some of it that goes into it.
And in TV slots, F one runs globally, so you've
got to keep that time slot for all the people
broadcasting around the world.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Here in the US.
Speaker 12 (13:07):
When NASCAR gets bumped an hour, it affects things, but
not nearly to the level. So that's that's another big
reason why they have to keep that time slot. They
have to make the cars go out so that everybody
can be happy globally.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Thank you, Jake, Yes, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
NASCAR, the long straightaway type courses, they don't run in
the rain, like a Watkins Glen or a Sonoma in California.
Those road courses, they will do it if it's dressing
or raining.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Shuffles in Arizona high shuffles.
Speaker 13 (13:35):
They're down Arizona. They're down, Red and Blue. I'm just
calling in to remind Marvin that we had a pie
of the face.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That whoa, that's right, Arizona Connecticut.
Speaker 13 (13:47):
Yeah, Arizona Connecticut as out. I'm not going to get
ahead of myself because there's on occasion in the in
the attorney might struggle, but at least for today, I'm
reveling in this is I think the entire wow that
nation is. But I just want to call in and
remind Marvin. And with that, I just want to say
one thing, which is thank.
Speaker 14 (14:06):
You to.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Arizona beat Connecticut seventy one sixty seven, and Arizona out
rebounded the Huskies forty three twenty three. So you have
applied to the face coming uh you and Shuffles had
(14:29):
that bet that Arizona was playing Connecticut at Connecticut.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yes, but per usual, Arizona's going to celebrate in November,
and Yukon's going to celebrate in late March and April.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Wow, that's smack talk there, but oh Arizona one, yeah, okay,
in November in November all right, yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You know a van they're gonna be on my bracket
and I'm gonna look at that Arizona I think I.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Know when they're the two seed Jackson State not again
a million I will not make that mistake with the
Chargers or Arizona basketball. I won't.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Every single year, I will not. It's always a lottery pick.
And it's like, man, he went to Arizona lost in
the first round. Yes, of course, per usual.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's like North Carolina football where you go, Yeah, and
they had a couple of first round picks on that
roster and they ended up going you know, six and six, Yeah, yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
How do you have Peppers and Albert Hainsworth and not
make the You know, they were fantastic with talent, Yes, Todd, we.
Speaker 8 (15:25):

then we'll get to Nicole Brisco Maybe she can help

Speaker 6 (18:30):
I think she can.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Okay, Yeah, So I just got a text from my
wife during the show and the text says, read this
post in some of the comments.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Oh no, and it's a tweet.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It's a link to a tweet, and the tweet says
being five nine to five eleven is the worst height
for men. You're not tall enough to coast the dating
market on easy Street, yet not short enough to be
single mindedly driven to become a billionaire. So I'm five
eleven and three quarters. I fall right into that window
(19:02):
of this is the worst height for men because you're
just kind of average. You're not really tall, so very attractive,
and you're not short enough to just become a billionaire.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Should I tell you that My husband is like maybe
five eight, Like if I'm five to seven, he's like
maybe five eight.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
All right, Yeah, but he's a race car driver, yes,
so that comes.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
In handy, Okay, So like it got him like the
edge there because he's small and he can fit inside
the cars.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, it's like he's a Danette. I mean he actually
aspired to do something greater than that.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
According to this, he's on the fast track to being
a billionaire. I mean that sounds great, that sounds amazing.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Yeah, I don't know about the fast track part of it.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
So then you start reading the I started reading the comments.
The first one says five ten is like one hundred
and fifty k year. Comfortable but not impressive.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Okay, this is kind.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
Of average, right, kind of average, I guess average.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah, because if you ask a woman what's the ideal height,
she's probably gonna say six foot.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Six six two ish, right, Yeah, I mean that's what
they're hoping for.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So I lie, like every five to eleven guy in
the world lies and says they're sixth for Yeah, everybody does.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
How about a full intro here, Nicole Brisco the Sports
center anchor, Formula one reporter, eleven o'clock Eastern Sports Center.
We used to watch you in the morning, Yes with
Randy Scott. Yes, yes, soon might lead into him, Oh.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
You know, essentially the overnight.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah. ESPN will televise the Las Vegas Grand Prix at
eleven Eastern this Saturday. What should we know going into
this race?
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Oh God, that's an open ended question. What should you know?
You should know that this is year three in.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Vegas and this event has changed so much since you're
one to now. But this will likely be the coldest
race of the season, which could absolute havoc in terms
of grip and the way the cars handle on the track.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
But historically this has been one of the best races
of the year. There's a lot of passing. There's normally,
like you know, passing can be difficult.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
So just like buckle buckle, buckle up, it's gonna be
a good it's gonna be a good weekend.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
We just need the rain to stay away.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
But I wondered about that because NASCAR is built on,
you know, the drama passing, and you.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Know that's also oval racing, so it's completely different.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But what I'm saying is Formula one doesn't have that
many elements of passing.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
It doesn't, so.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
You have to take Formula one in sort of like
in sections, you have the front of the pack, you
have the midfield guys, and you guys are at the back.
There is passing within the groups. There is competition within
the groups, but the likelihood that say a mid pack
team is going to take it to McLaren.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Probably not, But a Ferrari.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
A Mercedes, like a George Russell ran away with this
race last year. They could easily be on the move
against like a Red Bull this weekend and then you
could have an interesting battle in the midpack. So there
is passing, it just may not look like it from
top to bottom.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
The driver in the car, give me the ratio of
you know, may have this in horse racing, may have
this in a lot of things. So how would you
assess that ratio of how good is my driver, how
good is my car?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
You can't have You cannot have it all without having
the best of both worlds.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
You really can't.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
And I think there are some drivers who can like
make up that gap you've got.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
I think Max Verstaffan is probably the.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Best example of this, because I've always said I feel
like Max can drive a shoe box. And I think
this year, in a lot of ways, has almost cemented
his legacy as one of the greatest drivers of all time,
because in years past he probably had the best.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
Car and he ran away with the championship.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
At the beginning of this year, the Red Bull was
sort of like it was terrible, and he was still
making things happen with it, and you'd watch the onboard
sometime and you'd be like, how the hell is he
driving that car? Let alone like putting it near the
front being competitive with it. And so if you look
at what they've done since they've made the upgrades, you've
taken this world class generational talent and a driver, and
(23:04):
then you've taken a great car and they've taken a
guy who five races into the season was like I
am out of this championship, and now he's very much
in contention for the championship.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
So you have to have that. You look at McLaren.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
They have two great drivers and they've made so much
improvements to their car and that's put them in the
front of the field. But if the car falls off,
then I don't really know if they're in the same
position it really is.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
It has to be a solid relationship between the two.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
We love to do greatest of all Time rankings here, Yes,
Lewis Hamilton goat uh, So.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
You have to.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
It's a little bit like in the NBA, like I'm
a nineties kid, so like I personally say all greatest
of all time conversations starting in with Michael Jordan. You
do have to think generationally. You can't have like the
the Michael Schumacher era is not the same as the
that they are now. So when you're talking about the
(24:00):
greatest of all time, I think you have to include Schumacher.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
You have to include some of the guys from before that,
and then yes, Lewis Hamilton. But I also think you.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Make a case already for Max Verstappen. You could look
at some of the things that Sebastian Vettel did. You
win four straight championships and is still the youngest champion ever.
It's it's an interesting sport and it produces a lot
of greats.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
I mean, it's the it's the pinnacle of motorsports.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But how do you grow up and say I want
to be a Formula One driver. We go, I want
to be a quarterback, I want to be a pitcher.
You know that seems to be you have.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
A bajillion dollars, that's usually a good place, sister.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
I mean, honestly, you're talking at the end of the day,
you're talking this year the twenty best in the world.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
Next year to be twenty two because Cadillac is coming
on board.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
But essentially they begin driving at this tall you know,
they're four when they get into it, got it, Yes, exactly,
you start at this age, and it's a little bit
like you know, you watch a guy who's like a
hockey player, they're skating before they're walking. These guys are
driving before they're doing anything else. And it's very cute
(25:12):
when they're little.
Speaker 11 (25:13):
But this is.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
An incredibly expensive sport and most of the time it
has to come from like your family or your sponsors.
And unless you are good at it, you cannot advance
because no one's going to back you. And the amount
of money it takes to be where these people are now.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
Is just it's absurd.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
What do they make kind of money are we talking about?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Like, I mean, I don't I think when you look
at like sponsorships and things like that, I don't think
it's out of the remlet possibility to say, for stab
and brings in eighty million dollars a year.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
That's my guess.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They don't have a salary cap. Before I'm hit A one, Well, they.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Do have a cost cap, okay, And so those things
and the nuances of that I can't totally give you,
but there is a cost gap, so they do have
to operate.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
Within the budget. But I don't know if the driver's
salaries are included in that. I'm pretty sure they're not.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
We're talking to Nicole Brisco, the sports center anchor Formula
One reporter. ESPN will televise the Las Vegas Ground Prix
at eleven Eastern on Saturday. What do you remember about
your first sports center?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (26:15):
My god, like so freaking nervous because McQuaid called me.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Mike mccaid runs right, yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
So I had been at ESPN for what seven or
eight years because I had been doing the NASCAR stuff,
and then when our NASCAR contract ended, they were like, come.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Do sports center.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So I was like, that sounds like a nine to
five job, considering, you know, all the travel, and like
in our world, it kind of.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Is because it's it's sort of normal.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
And so I was there and I was doing like
the rookie orientation even though i'd been with the company
seven or eight years at this point. And McQuaid calls
me and he's like, we've had a stick call.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
We've got nobody left. And I was like, great, cool.
He's like, go go do this show.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And this is his voice too, because like it's just.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Like nothing like if he smiles at you, it's more
like a grimace.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
And you're like, I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
But also I will say this.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
About him, like we give him a lot of he's
the kind of person like I don't think he'll ever
ask you to do something he himself wouldn't do, so
like you kind of want to work for the guy.
I remember being nervous, feeling like I had never worked
in TV before.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Shot sheets. You're like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Like like like stuff. It's like when they say about
the game of like football, right, like you move from
one level to the next and you're like, well, the
game is finally slowed down. The game was like in
hyper speed on that day one, and now I'm like,
it's you know, it's now it's slowed down.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Did you watch your performance back?
Speaker 11 (27:40):
No, like from day one? Oh god no, no, not
that one. I've watched others, but that one. I was
just like, you.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Know what, we're gonna we're gonna remember this, We're gonna
live in the moment and then we're gonna.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
I know, like you know, you stop, like you know
when you make mistakes, like you know, so I mean,
you're just sort of honest.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
And I think it was February fourteenth. I knew the
mistakes that I made, and I thought, I know where
I need to improve, and so you just sort of
like build on that, and I was just like, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna enjoy it. And that's that's what That's why
I take away from that way.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I used to watch the show back every single night.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Well, I but I do now because it's most of
the time I'm on the rear so we close and
then I watch it on the way home, and so
I watch it every night.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
Essentially don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
So okay, because you know that you tape stuff and
so like sometimes you tape stuff and you've got segments
and then you don't really know how it comes together.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
So sometimes I watch for that to see.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Oh, that's what that looked like, that's how it came together.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
What's a different sports Center now?
Speaker 11 (28:54):
It is?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yes, But you know, doing the eleven for such a
long period of time, I got I was so fixated
on making it perfect. You can't though, I know, but
that's why you got to stop it. You know, I
was noticing my tie delivery on, you know, a pitch
to a home run like it had to be. It
(29:16):
was really minutia.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I guess maybe I'm not that much of a perfectionist,
and I think to an extent, there is part of
that that has made me feel more comfortable in the role.
I think it's good to have that, Yes, because you
get to a point where you're very comfortable with who
you are, you kind of don't give a you know
what about what other people think anymore, because you're in
(29:40):
your own skin, you know how you want to sound,
you know who you are, and you stop trying to impress.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
Everybody because you know your own worth. Like you're there
for a reason.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
And so if you can go out there and you
can have fun, yes, you're gonna make mistakes. But like
when you think about it, we're talking and in the
course of a conversation, how many times do you fumble
your word, just in the normal course of conversation, Like
that's a normal human experience. And if you expect yourself
to go out there over the course of what forty
two minutes and be perfect, it's an unrealistic expectation and
(30:13):
you're just automatically setting yourself up to fail.
Speaker 11 (30:16):
So I think I let go of that. But yes,
it's very easy to do it. Just be like, no,
you sucked on that one.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I did it until I was reminded that you
got the job right. That's what it took because I
kept you know how competitive it is in that building
just a little bit, and it can be backstabbing. Everybody
wants your job, and you know, I was like, nobody's
going to catch me. I'm not gonna let anybody catch me.
But I was not myself until I was told you
(30:44):
have the job.
Speaker 14 (30:45):
Hub.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
But this was a couple of years into it.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Oh No, I definitely felt that way because I had
my youngest is nine nine and a half, and I
had her fairly early on into my sports center career,
and I really took the minimum amount of time off
because you're just at that point. I was like, I
was just starting to like find a groove and whatever.
(31:10):
And even though the idea the concept of like not
taking time off to heal from having a baby like
is ridiculous, I felt the need to get back as
soon as I could because.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
There's always somebody else waiting in the wings.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Always the next generation is there, the next person, and
so you feel like you have to justify your existence
all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
My son, him and his wife just had a baby,
so he gets three months off.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
Okay, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And I he said, Dad, how long did you take
when he was my first born? I said, I think
I took the weekend off. Yeah, and then I went
back to work and we had four kids under.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Seven, which is insane.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yes, but of course I wanted to go back to work.
I didn't want to stay at home. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
I actually had like a human attached to me, so
it was a little harder.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know, But I think I had a nation attached
to me.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Yeah, it's okay, fine, I think I took I think
I took five weeks with Blake, and I think I
took about the same with Finley. But the difference with
Finley was now twelve. She actually traveled with me for
the first year of her life because that was that
was the easier.
Speaker 11 (32:16):
Thing to do because we were still on NASCAR back then.
This business is wild. Telling you that it's very glamorous.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I always tell people you don't want to go into
this business you think you do, but once you get in,
do you know that?
Speaker 11 (32:30):
That was actually the first career advice I got.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Like I was in college and it was like doing
a basic communications course and the professor was like, what
do you want to be when you grow up?
Speaker 11 (32:39):
And I gave my whole spuel of blah blah blah blah,
and he he was like, go get an internship. Now.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
He was like, because I know so many people who
think they're getting into the business and they think they're
getting one thing, and what they actually get is not reality.
Speaker 11 (32:53):
He's like, you may hate it, and so I did.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
And then that's sort of what started the ball rolling
on my actual career. But it's because I had this
cynical professor who was like, this business sucks.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
You know, it's a tough business. It is, But you know,
I find people who want to be lawyers and then
they become lawyers and they go, I don't want to
be a lawyer.
Speaker 11 (33:12):
Yes, I have a friend who did that same thing.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Thanks for joining us, Thank you for having me. It's
great to meet you. Are you too, h Nicole Brisco
the Sports Center anchor Formula one reporter. Once again, the
Mothership will Televise Las Vegas Grand Prix. They hate when
I say the Mothership at the Mother Show.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
A little under the weather came down with strep throat
here in Vegas, and yesterday was one of those days
that we were off because we had to get the
set built. And I came to the set and I said,
you know, Paulie, you got to be ready. You might
be hosting. It might be the Paul Papp Show. And
I actually had a doctor who came to my room
(34:11):
and gave me a couple of shots. And hopefully it
doesn't sound as bad as it did. I called the
big German. I said, Man, I'm in trouble. He goes, Oh, Man,
yes you are, he goes. I didn't recognize the voice.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, Paulie, you came down to the set yesterday and
you were a sweating like Patrick Ewing in the fourth
court of a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
And we went to dinner last night. I'm schmitzing, as
we like to say, Todd, we do. Yeah, but got
some got some meds and rallying here. Yes, usually room.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Service would be like a turkey club or an omlive.
You're getting like a shot in the butt. Is your
room services?
Speaker 10 (34:46):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
No? I know, very nice woman. Then I realized that's
what she does. She is like the doctor on the strip,
who you know takes care of special people. I guess, yes, Marvin,
so these are flu games? Yes, okay, yeah, yes, yes, Palie,
you know it's.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I know she can't give up who she works on.
But that would be like an interesting TV show, a
doctor that goes to places and takes care of people.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I'm sure the celebrities don't want to be Yeah, I
mean I wouldn't want a camera in there. She said
you're gonna have to pull down your pants and I'm
like okay, and then gave me two shots. I don't
know what she gave me.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
He was like the masked singer with Cortisol. She walks
in and who are we putting a jab into today
it's Sam Patrick.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah. And when you say you're giving somebody penocill and
you know here in Vegas, and then I'm like, Claria, Yeah,
that'll do it a couple of days.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Yes, yes, And you're initially diagnosed with the funt and flu,
but now it's stripped throat. It's want to make sure
we got that on record.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Font and flu fountain blue fountain flu. That's a way.
See I'm trying. No, that's wrong with fountain flu. Okay,
you still want to be able to do rhyme time
I do? Okay, I will, I will rally with rhyme time. Man.
Then we're gonna wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Yes, well, I hate to say this time I liked
you better when you're very sick and not communicating.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Alejandro in California, Allehandro, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 10 (36:11):
Good morning on Migos five and a half two hundred.

do with that. Alex Alex. Yeah, he's the He's the
he's the goat. Michael Jordan. Yeah, I don't know there's
he's the Mount Rushmore, but he's the only guy on
Rushmore because he could climb Mount Rushmore. Yeah. See the
uh you know what.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
The one of the craziest scenes of that just where
he's like sort of you get a real sense of
his strength. He's living in a van, I think at
some point because he's just traveling to all these places
that he's rock climbing, and part of his workout every
day is hanging just by his fingertips off the sliding
door of the van and he's got his whole body
in the air and he's just hanging there like that,
like basically.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Doing pull ups. Just on his fingertips like that.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It doesn't seem glamorous to be a rock climber. I'm
gonna I'm gonna say that because it's kind of baller though. Yeah,
but you don't really have an audience. There not a
lot of groupies. No, I don't think you have a
lot of Like if you say I'm into rock, you
know there's one way to go, Oh okay, yeah, what
kind of music? No, No, I'm into rock. I actually
(38:07):
climb rocks.

attractive based off of the region that you live in. Right,

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Same thing with bull riding.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
If you're in Texas, all right, you're the man that
can maybe only happen regionally, almost like being a NASCAR driver.
You might be the man in North Carolina, but not
the man in Indiana.

Yeah, but Formula one I can be the man all
around the world, all around Europe for sure. Yeah. Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
It seems like a very lonely sport if you can't
get tickets to it, if there's really no spectators are
there many thousand feet down with binoculars trying to catch
a glimpse of you with the ropes.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't know if that's really You never see a

But you're looking at, you know, the streets of Las
Vegas is where the race is. It's just weird to
be driving and then seeing the track. But I love
the overhead shots, especially at night when they have these races.
I think the one in Dubai I watched that, but
it's kind of presented as almost a pinball machine. It's
just so much going on the lights and how the
(01:37):
city kind of envelops the race. But we'll talk to
Nicole brisco show will help us. Maybe she can give
us a little bit of a cliff notes version here
what to look for. We were caught up in driving
in the rain in Formula one but not Nascar. And
do you have windshield wipers? You know, the important things
that the serious F one fan already knows, Yes, Pom.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And they're gonna be driving through this eats past all
the attractions. I can hear the announcements going.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
For stopping past the Spearmint Rhino at per hour so
we're here in Vegas. We're in the second floor the
food court here Fountain Blue Hotel. They've been our home
away from home out in Vegas and rolled out the
red carpet during the Super Bowl and certainly become friends
of the show. Eight seven to seven three DP show.
(02:22):
We'll try to get to some more phone calls here.
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America. The official trading cards of the program and
our calendar is available at dan Patrick dot com. Autograph
non autograph calendars. Somebody asks if the non autographs cost more.
I said, that's very funny, But no autograph calendar of
cost you. It's just a little sense, a little calendar
(02:43):
sense of you. Yeah, you could also go to the
Tailgate store and get an autograph calendar with select Tailgate
purchases while supplies last. All right, let me do this
in dramatic fashion. Here Sunday night, two quarterbacks with firepower
and finesse get their time in the spotlight. Baker Mayfield
leads the Bucks against Matthew Stafford in the Rams Sunday
(03:05):
seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock. You don't have to
hype that game at all. Yes, Mormon, who's your.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
MVP so far?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Matthew Stafford. Okay, not even close. And two weeks ago
it was Baker Mayfield. No, that was probably three or
four weeks ago. But you know that Bucks lineup has
been decimated, you know, all the injuries with skilled position.
But Baker's done a great job. I mean that game
in Buffalo, I've be surprised it was high scoring. But
Matthew Stafford's been great, been great, And he was the
(03:35):
one guy said if he stays healthy, the Rams can
win a Super Bowl because of him. If he stays healthy,
they can win. And right now he's healthy, and you
know they're probably one of, if not the top, the
second favorite in the NFC to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah, poem.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And you can find stories from two years ago when
Matthew Stafford was eleven touchdowns, eight picks, and he was
injured in twenty twenty two, like, should the Rams start
that transition plan?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do they extend his contract? Three years ago it didn't
look good for his future.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well then everybody said, hey, the Rams got two first
round draft picks, so they're going to get their quarterback
this upcoming draft Stafford's got one more year. I mean,
at some point you got to start looking at that.
But I don't know if you get somebody let him
sit for a while. You know, I was looking at
the Falcon situation. They thought that they were in a
perfect situation that we got our quarterback, Kirk Cousins, we
(04:28):
can't pass up Michael Pennix. And now Michael Pennix is
injured and you got Kirk Cousins, and you're going nowhere,
and then some people may lose their jobs because of that,
and you're stuck with Michael Pennix and you're stuck with
Kirk Cousins. Although somebody who I know in the NFL
circles said, don't be surprised if they try to trade
(04:49):
Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota for next year. Wow, there's yeah,
that's heavy though.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's a vote of non confidence in JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah. Yeah, but once again, you've got to stay healthy
and you know what you have in Kirk Cousins. And
I think we thought, you know, JJ McCarthy had as
much pressure on him this year as anybody because of
who they got rid of. You got rid of Sam
Darnold and Danny Dimes, Kirk Cousins goes to Atlanta. You
use a high draft pick on JJ McCarthy. He had
(05:22):
to be great because this team was ready to go
this year, and that is, uh, that's a big miss
right now, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And with JJ McCarthy, it's not just that he's not
playing well and not staying healthy. He suffers in comparison
to Jayden Daniels. Kayla Williams is getting better. Drake May
you know, really hit his stride and it may like,
what's happening to you?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Where are you at? Well, a lot of times we
look at a quarterback and then we base his success
off the other quarterbacks taken in the draft, like Ryan
Leaf is one of the biggest busts of all time
because well, Peyton Manning was in that same draft. But
the Colts wisely took Peyton Manning, although a lot of
revision in his history. Not everybody in the Colts war
room was sold on Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf, but
(06:05):
they did make the right call. But a lot of
times we'll go, oh my god, you could have had
you know, like Greg Odin, you know, people like that guy.
You're gonna take him? That high, you know Sam Buie.
Of course, the injury plagued center when they could have
had Michael Jordan in Portland.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yes, Martin, that happened recently with Bryce Young and c J.
Stroud like that. That hurts even more when somebody else
is doing way better that e was picked after you.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What's the poll question for the second hour of the program,
even though we only had one short period of time
in the first hour.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Seaton, Yeah, we're gonna get a couple more going. This
was sort of in the same vein as the one
Paul suggested. But cooler profession f one racer, pro surfer,
I have like a rodeo cowboy or girl.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
That's kind of a pretty baller job.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
And we have room for a fourth if anybody else
has one cooler profession though, being a professional surfer, that's
pretty awesome, so Kelly Slater, Yeah, Lewis Hamilton mm or.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
There is no I don't know of a professional rodeo person,
but that seems like kind of an awesome job.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
There's not a lot of people that do that. I
don't want to be a professional bull rider. I want
to have everything about it until I get on the
bull Yeah, yeah, so that would that would.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Have you ever been on a horse, Yeah, it's scary
as hell.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Getting on a horse for the first time is terrifying
because they're gigantic and you're like, what am I I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Supposed to control this thing. I like to go bare back, relaxed,
but have a saddle on the horse. It's just I'm
I'm bare back.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's the Everyone should have a saddle on the horse, Yes,
they should.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yes, So you want the bull rider aesthetic, yes, okay,
just not the actual professional.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh my god. No, and your you know your job
last eight seconds? Whoa Todd.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I've been there to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're competence and you make it with college. You're a
bull rider without without the cowboy boot. Oh no, you
do have a cowboy But I went to Denman Diamonds.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
What is to live at California?
Speaker 8 (08:07):
But the whole outfit?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yes, yes, Funny.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
When I was driving out here, I pulled off at
a place I don't know, somewhere in like den in
the Colorado or Utah or something like that. I was
looking for a hotel and I drove past a boot
barn and I was like, I almost turned around to
go take a picture of him for Tome the Boot
Barn and San Bernardino.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's the one seven hundred bucks I spent there.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yes, Dan, I just happened to have the PBR rider
rankings up on my screen.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Of course I did.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I kicked that up at all time. Jared Parsonage is
the number one rider this year. The pbrr rankings makes
a lot of dough. But like that's not something you know.
If you're a surf champion, you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Make F one money. No, no, no, not few money.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But like surfing people can try. Most people don't ever
try bull riding or ever try race car driving, So
those two are kind of stand alone.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I think I I would like to be an F
one guy. They dressed very cool, they got everything about it.
Looks like I mean Brad Pitt did a movie on
Formula one.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He'd be like the eighth best good looking riff driver.
He'd be like eighth No fact, yes, Todd, I'm.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
Trying to figure out which would impress the ladies the most.
You're they're hanging on the beach watching you surf, or
you're in some kind of saloon and you're able to
do the mechanical bull for minutes on end, or whatever's
considered a good run, or of those that we mentioned.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
All you gotta do is get out of a car,
take your helmet off, and you got your unit, you
got your you know, your fire suit on.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
You don't even have to say one.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yes, I think you guys are underappreciating though, the sorm
of the sort of primal nature of uh, controlling a
wild animal that's crazy, that's like probably goes back to
like the oldest.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Form of competition is can you team this thing?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wow? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, it's kind of neanderthal in a way.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Okay, yeah, yeah, but I'm going to control a car
that goes over two hundred in twenty five miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, but can you get on a bull or a
horse or something that's going crazy and make that thing
do what you wanted to do?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But they only have to do it for eight seconds.
I have to do it for a couple of hours.
But everybody drives not that fast, right, but they do drive.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yes, I'm on the PBR website and they also have
the bull rankings.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
They ranked the bulls, so you know ex caliber.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You don't want to get on that.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
You don't want to be on buck Nasty This year
he's four for four with Buckoffs Nasty, he's leaving the league.
That's right, buck Nasty four for four and buck offs?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Are you gonna get me?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
What's Josh Getty on that?
Speaker 8 (10:38):
I want to know which one of those professions lends
itself to the best bulls?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, the cardiac Yeah, cardiac bull Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Fuck nasty, Buck Nasty to get on the show before
he bucks you. Let me see Michael in Scottsdale. Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (10:56):
Good morning? I was just calling because apparently you guys
are like Formula one rookie or more to the sport.
So I've been around round it since nineteen eighty A
couple suggestions is trying to get I'm sure you've got
a media pass, so maybe you can get a ride
in the pace car or the medical car. I'll be
(11:18):
doing medical coverage. I don't know what turn I'll be in.
And there's also I saw seating by a radio flyer
car the other day, and there's a guy in town
there that's got a grocery cart that holds six people.
So you might want to check that out and what
your thoughts are in the forty nine ers this year.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
That's a classic Hall.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm amazed. I'm amazed that they've held it together. Christian
McCaffery was my Offensive Player of the Year and Rock
Pretty is back. So hey, they got a big.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Game coming up this weekend. Big game, forty nine Ers
against the Panthers. I think, right, I think yeah, Marvin
the Niners resident fan.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Yep, they played Bryce Young and those pesky Panthers.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Uh, Jake and Colorado. Hey Jake, what's out of your mind?
Speaker 12 (12:08):
Hey DC, I'm still laughing about Fritzy last and eight seconds.
You guys are talking about racing in the rain a
lot of reasons that NASCAR doesn't and F one does.
Some of it's a lot of its history. F One's
always raced in the rain, so they've always had tires
developed for the rain, and they've, especially in the last
twenty years, have tracks developed with runoff for safety. Whereas
(12:31):
NASCAR's never raced in the rain and you're usually on
an oval and you've got no runoff. You've also got
tire development that plays a huge role. They're very, very
different tires. They're not just slicks with grooves cut in them.
So you've got manufacturers that would have to develop tires
for NASCAR that would make.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Them work correctly. And then kind of like.
Speaker 12 (12:48):
The NFL, the people who run it always want to
talk about safety.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Safety.
Speaker 12 (12:52):
Safety, it's not really part of it. I mean it is,
but that's that's some of it that goes into it.
And in TV slots, F one runs globally, so you've
got to keep that time slot for all the people
broadcasting around the world.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Here in the US.
Speaker 12 (13:07):
When NASCAR gets bumped an hour, it affects things, but
not nearly to the level. So that's that's another big
reason why they have to keep that time slot. They
have to make the cars go out so that everybody
can be happy globally.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Thank you, Jake, Yes, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
NASCAR, the long straightaway type courses, they don't run in
the rain, like a Watkins Glen or a Sonoma in California.
Those road courses, they will do it if it's dressing
or raining.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Shuffles in Arizona high shuffles.
Speaker 13 (13:35):
They're down Arizona. They're down, Red and Blue. I'm just
calling in to remind Marvin that we had a pie
of the face.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That whoa, that's right, Arizona Connecticut.
Speaker 13 (13:47):
Yeah, Arizona Connecticut as out. I'm not going to get
ahead of myself because there's on occasion in the in
the attorney might struggle, but at least for today, I'm
reveling in this is I think the entire wow that
nation is. But I just want to call in and
remind Marvin. And with that, I just want to say
one thing, which is thank.
Speaker 14 (14:06):
You to.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Arizona beat Connecticut seventy one sixty seven, and Arizona out
rebounded the Huskies forty three twenty three. So you have
applied to the face coming uh you and Shuffles had
(14:29):
that bet that Arizona was playing Connecticut at Connecticut.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yes, but per usual, Arizona's going to celebrate in November,
and Yukon's going to celebrate in late March and April.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Wow, that's smack talk there, but oh Arizona one, yeah, okay,
in November in November all right, yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You know a van they're gonna be on my bracket
and I'm gonna look at that Arizona I think I.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Know when they're the two seed Jackson State not again
a million I will not make that mistake with the
Chargers or Arizona basketball. I won't.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Every single year, I will not. It's always a lottery pick.
And it's like, man, he went to Arizona lost in
the first round. Yes, of course, per usual.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's like North Carolina football where you go, Yeah, and
they had a couple of first round picks on that
roster and they ended up going you know, six and six, Yeah, yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
How do you have Peppers and Albert Hainsworth and not
make the You know, they were fantastic with talent, Yes, Todd, we.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
Look forward to them making the round of thirty two
and then we could all put red exes all across
our seats.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thank you to. We have rime time coming up. I
think tomorrow do we maybe we build Yeah, this this
is Vegas. You know you want to build it up.

Speaker 7 (15:59):
I think we're taking yaking.
Speaker 2 (16:01):

She sent me this. Why she sent right now?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Uh no, I mean she texted me all the time
during the show. I just don't know why she sent
me this specific message.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Great tease, Yeah, I love that. Are we involved in this? Uh?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Indirectly?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Sure, just because it's the show.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yeah, well really all men are indirectly involved.
Speaker 2 (16:57):

will help us with that topic. On loan from the
mother ship, Frank calliendo in an hour from now. We

then we'll get to Nicole Brisco Maybe she can help
answer this question.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I think she can.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Okay, Yeah, So I just got a text from my
wife during the show and the text says, read this
post in some of the comments.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Oh no, and it's a tweet.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It's a link to a tweet, and the tweet says
being five nine to five eleven is the worst height
for men. You're not tall enough to coast the dating
market on easy Street, yet not short enough to be
single mindedly driven to become a billionaire. So I'm five
eleven and three quarters. I fall right into that window
(19:02):
of this is the worst height for men because you're
just kind of average. You're not really tall, so very attractive,
and you're not short enough to just become a billionaire.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Should I tell you that My husband is like maybe
five eight, Like if I'm five to seven, he's like
maybe five eight.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
All right, Yeah, but he's a race car driver, yes,
so that comes.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
In handy, Okay, So like it got him like the
edge there because he's small and he can fit inside
the cars.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, it's like he's a Danette. I mean he actually
aspired to do something greater than that.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
According to this, he's on the fast track to being
a billionaire. I mean that sounds great, that sounds amazing.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Yeah, I don't know about the fast track part of it.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
So then you start reading the I started reading the comments.
The first one says five ten is like one hundred
and fifty k year. Comfortable but not impressive.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Okay, this is kind.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
Of average, right, kind of average, I guess average.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah, because if you ask a woman what's the ideal height,
she's probably gonna say six foot.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Six six two ish, right, Yeah, I mean that's what
they're hoping for.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So I lie, like every five to eleven guy in
the world lies and says they're sixth for Yeah, everybody does.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
How about a full intro here, Nicole Brisco the Sports
center anchor, Formula one reporter, eleven o'clock Eastern Sports Center.
We used to watch you in the morning, Yes with
Randy Scott. Yes, yes, soon might lead into him, Oh.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
You know, essentially the overnight.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah. ESPN will televise the Las Vegas Grand Prix at
eleven Eastern this Saturday. What should we know going into
this race?
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Oh God, that's an open ended question. What should you know?
You should know that this is year three in.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Vegas and this event has changed so much since you're
one to now. But this will likely be the coldest
race of the season, which could absolute havoc in terms
of grip and the way the cars handle on the track.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
But historically this has been one of the best races
of the year. There's a lot of passing. There's normally,
like you know, passing can be difficult.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
So just like buckle buckle, buckle up, it's gonna be
a good it's gonna be a good weekend.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
We just need the rain to stay away.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
But I wondered about that because NASCAR is built on,
you know, the drama passing, and you.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Know that's also oval racing, so it's completely different.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But what I'm saying is Formula one doesn't have that
many elements of passing.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
It doesn't, so.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
You have to take Formula one in sort of like
in sections, you have the front of the pack, you
have the midfield guys, and you guys are at the back.
There is passing within the groups. There is competition within
the groups, but the likelihood that say a mid pack
team is going to take it to McLaren.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Probably not, But a Ferrari.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
A Mercedes, like a George Russell ran away with this
race last year. They could easily be on the move
against like a Red Bull this weekend and then you
could have an interesting battle in the midpack. So there
is passing, it just may not look like it from
top to bottom.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
The driver in the car, give me the ratio of
you know, may have this in horse racing, may have
this in a lot of things. So how would you
assess that ratio of how good is my driver, how
good is my car?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
You can't have You cannot have it all without having
the best of both worlds.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
You really can't.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
And I think there are some drivers who can like
make up that gap you've got.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
I think Max Verstaffan is probably the.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Best example of this, because I've always said I feel
like Max can drive a shoe box. And I think
this year, in a lot of ways, has almost cemented
his legacy as one of the greatest drivers of all time,
because in years past he probably had the best.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
Car and he ran away with the championship.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
At the beginning of this year, the Red Bull was
sort of like it was terrible, and he was still
making things happen with it, and you'd watch the onboard
sometime and you'd be like, how the hell is he
driving that car? Let alone like putting it near the
front being competitive with it. And so if you look
at what they've done since they've made the upgrades, you've
taken this world class generational talent and a driver, and
(23:04):
then you've taken a great car and they've taken a
guy who five races into the season was like I
am out of this championship, and now he's very much
in contention for the championship.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
So you have to have that. You look at McLaren.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
They have two great drivers and they've made so much
improvements to their car and that's put them in the
front of the field. But if the car falls off,
then I don't really know if they're in the same
position it really is.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
It has to be a solid relationship between the two.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
We love to do greatest of all Time rankings here, Yes,
Lewis Hamilton goat uh, So.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
You have to.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
It's a little bit like in the NBA, like I'm
a nineties kid, so like I personally say all greatest
of all time conversations starting in with Michael Jordan. You
do have to think generationally. You can't have like the
the Michael Schumacher era is not the same as the
that they are now. So when you're talking about the
(24:00):
greatest of all time, I think you have to include Schumacher.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
You have to include some of the guys from before that,
and then yes, Lewis Hamilton. But I also think you.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Make a case already for Max Verstappen. You could look
at some of the things that Sebastian Vettel did. You
win four straight championships and is still the youngest champion ever.
It's it's an interesting sport and it produces a lot
of greats.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
I mean, it's the it's the pinnacle of motorsports.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But how do you grow up and say I want
to be a Formula One driver. We go, I want
to be a quarterback, I want to be a pitcher.
You know that seems to be you have.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
A bajillion dollars, that's usually a good place, sister.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
I mean, honestly, you're talking at the end of the day,
you're talking this year the twenty best in the world.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
Next year to be twenty two because Cadillac is coming
on board.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
But essentially they begin driving at this tall you know,
they're four when they get into it, got it, Yes, exactly,
you start at this age, and it's a little bit
like you know, you watch a guy who's like a
hockey player, they're skating before they're walking. These guys are
driving before they're doing anything else. And it's very cute
(25:12):
when they're little.
Speaker 11 (25:13):
But this is.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
An incredibly expensive sport and most of the time it
has to come from like your family or your sponsors.
And unless you are good at it, you cannot advance
because no one's going to back you. And the amount
of money it takes to be where these people are now.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
Is just it's absurd.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
What do they make kind of money are we talking about?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Like, I mean, I don't I think when you look
at like sponsorships and things like that, I don't think
it's out of the remlet possibility to say, for stab
and brings in eighty million dollars a year.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
That's my guess.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They don't have a salary cap. Before I'm hit A one, Well, they.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Do have a cost cap, okay, And so those things
and the nuances of that I can't totally give you,
but there is a cost gap, so they do have
to operate.
Speaker 11 (25:58):
Within the budget. But I don't know if the driver's
salaries are included in that. I'm pretty sure they're not.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
We're talking to Nicole Brisco, the sports center anchor Formula
One reporter. ESPN will televise the Las Vegas Ground Prix
at eleven Eastern on Saturday. What do you remember about
your first sports center?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (26:15):
My god, like so freaking nervous because McQuaid called me.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Mike mccaid runs right, yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
So I had been at ESPN for what seven or
eight years because I had been doing the NASCAR stuff,
and then when our NASCAR contract ended, they were like, come.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Do sports center.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So I was like, that sounds like a nine to
five job, considering, you know, all the travel, and like
in our world, it kind of.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Is because it's it's sort of normal.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
And so I was there and I was doing like
the rookie orientation even though i'd been with the company
seven or eight years at this point. And McQuaid calls
me and he's like, we've had a stick call.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
We've got nobody left. And I was like, great, cool.
He's like, go go do this show.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And this is his voice too, because like it's just.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Like nothing like if he smiles at you, it's more
like a grimace.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
And you're like, I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
But also I will say this.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
About him, like we give him a lot of he's
the kind of person like I don't think he'll ever
ask you to do something he himself wouldn't do, so
like you kind of want to work for the guy.
I remember being nervous, feeling like I had never worked
in TV before.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Shot sheets. You're like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Like like like stuff. It's like when they say about
the game of like football, right, like you move from
one level to the next and you're like, well, the
game is finally slowed down. The game was like in
hyper speed on that day one, and now I'm like,
it's you know, it's now it's slowed down.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Did you watch your performance back?
Speaker 11 (27:40):
No, like from day one? Oh god no, no, not
that one. I've watched others, but that one. I was
just like, you.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Know what, we're gonna we're gonna remember this, We're gonna
live in the moment and then we're gonna.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
I know, like you know, you stop, like you know
when you make mistakes, like you know, so I mean,
you're just sort of honest.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
And I think it was February fourteenth. I knew the
mistakes that I made, and I thought, I know where
I need to improve, and so you just sort of
like build on that, and I was just like, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna enjoy it. And that's that's what That's why
I take away from that way.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I used to watch the show back every single night.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Well, I but I do now because it's most of
the time I'm on the rear so we close and
then I watch it on the way home, and so
I watch it every night.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
Essentially don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
So okay, because you know that you tape stuff and
so like sometimes you tape stuff and you've got segments
and then you don't really know how it comes together.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
So sometimes I watch for that to see.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Oh, that's what that looked like, that's how it came together.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
What's a different sports Center now?
Speaker 11 (28:54):
It is?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yes, But you know, doing the eleven for such a
long period of time, I got I was so fixated
on making it perfect. You can't though, I know, but
that's why you got to stop it. You know, I
was noticing my tie delivery on, you know, a pitch
to a home run like it had to be. It
(29:16):
was really minutia.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I guess maybe I'm not that much of a perfectionist,
and I think to an extent, there is part of
that that has made me feel more comfortable in the role.
I think it's good to have that, Yes, because you
get to a point where you're very comfortable with who
you are, you kind of don't give a you know
what about what other people think anymore, because you're in
(29:40):
your own skin, you know how you want to sound,
you know who you are, and you stop trying to impress.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
Everybody because you know your own worth. Like you're there
for a reason.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
And so if you can go out there and you
can have fun, yes, you're gonna make mistakes. But like
when you think about it, we're talking and in the
course of a conversation, how many times do you fumble
your word, just in the normal course of conversation, Like
that's a normal human experience. And if you expect yourself
to go out there over the course of what forty
two minutes and be perfect, it's an unrealistic expectation and
(30:13):
you're just automatically setting yourself up to fail.
Speaker 11 (30:16):
So I think I let go of that. But yes,
it's very easy to do it. Just be like, no,
you sucked on that one.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I did it until I was reminded that you
got the job right. That's what it took because I
kept you know how competitive it is in that building
just a little bit, and it can be backstabbing. Everybody
wants your job, and you know, I was like, nobody's
going to catch me. I'm not gonna let anybody catch me.
But I was not myself until I was told you
(30:44):
have the job.
Speaker 14 (30:45):
Hub.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
But this was a couple of years into it.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Oh No, I definitely felt that way because I had
my youngest is nine nine and a half, and I
had her fairly early on into my sports center career,
and I really took the minimum amount of time off
because you're just at that point. I was like, I
was just starting to like find a groove and whatever.
(31:10):
And even though the idea the concept of like not
taking time off to heal from having a baby like
is ridiculous, I felt the need to get back as
soon as I could because.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
There's always somebody else waiting in the wings.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Always the next generation is there, the next person, and
so you feel like you have to justify your existence
all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
My son, him and his wife just had a baby,
so he gets three months off.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
Okay, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And I he said, Dad, how long did you take
when he was my first born? I said, I think
I took the weekend off. Yeah, and then I went
back to work and we had four kids under.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Seven, which is insane.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yes, but of course I wanted to go back to work.
I didn't want to stay at home. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
I actually had like a human attached to me, so
it was a little harder.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know, But I think I had a nation attached
to me.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Yeah, it's okay, fine, I think I took I think
I took five weeks with Blake, and I think I
took about the same with Finley. But the difference with
Finley was now twelve. She actually traveled with me for
the first year of her life because that was that
was the easier.
Speaker 11 (32:16):
Thing to do because we were still on NASCAR back then.
This business is wild. Telling you that it's very glamorous.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I always tell people you don't want to go into
this business you think you do, but once you get in,
do you know that?
Speaker 11 (32:30):
That was actually the first career advice I got.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Like I was in college and it was like doing
a basic communications course and the professor was like, what
do you want to be when you grow up?
Speaker 11 (32:39):
And I gave my whole spuel of blah blah blah blah,
and he he was like, go get an internship. Now.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
He was like, because I know so many people who
think they're getting into the business and they think they're
getting one thing, and what they actually get is not reality.
Speaker 11 (32:53):
He's like, you may hate it, and so I did.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
And then that's sort of what started the ball rolling
on my actual career. But it's because I had this
cynical professor who was like, this business sucks.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
You know, it's a tough business. It is, But you know,
I find people who want to be lawyers and then
they become lawyers and they go, I don't want to
be a lawyer.
Speaker 11 (33:12):
Yes, I have a friend who did that same thing.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Thanks for joining us, Thank you for having me. It's
great to meet you. Are you too, h Nicole Brisco
the Sports Center anchor Formula one reporter. Once again, the
Mothership will Televise Las Vegas Grand Prix. They hate when
I say the Mothership at the Mother Show.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
A little under the weather came down with strep throat
here in Vegas, and yesterday was one of those days
that we were off because we had to get the
set built. And I came to the set and I said,
you know, Paulie, you got to be ready. You might
be hosting. It might be the Paul Papp Show. And
I actually had a doctor who came to my room
(34:11):
and gave me a couple of shots. And hopefully it
doesn't sound as bad as it did. I called the
big German. I said, Man, I'm in trouble. He goes, Oh, Man,
yes you are, he goes. I didn't recognize the voice.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, Paulie, you came down to the set yesterday and
you were a sweating like Patrick Ewing in the fourth
court of a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
And we went to dinner last night. I'm schmitzing, as
we like to say, Todd, we do. Yeah, but got
some got some meds and rallying here. Yes, usually room.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Service would be like a turkey club or an omlive.
You're getting like a shot in the butt. Is your
room services?
Speaker 10 (34:46):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
No? I know, very nice woman. Then I realized that's
what she does. She is like the doctor on the strip,
who you know takes care of special people. I guess, yes, Marvin,
so these are flu games? Yes, okay, yeah, yes, yes, Palie,
you know it's.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I know she can't give up who she works on.
But that would be like an interesting TV show, a
doctor that goes to places and takes care of people.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I'm sure the celebrities don't want to be Yeah, I
mean I wouldn't want a camera in there. She said
you're gonna have to pull down your pants and I'm
like okay, and then gave me two shots. I don't
know what she gave me.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
He was like the masked singer with Cortisol. She walks
in and who are we putting a jab into today
it's Sam Patrick.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah. And when you say you're giving somebody penocill and
you know here in Vegas, and then I'm like, Claria, Yeah,
that'll do it a couple of days.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Yes, yes, And you're initially diagnosed with the funt and flu,
but now it's stripped throat. It's want to make sure
we got that on record.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Font and flu fountain blue fountain flu. That's a way.
See I'm trying. No, that's wrong with fountain flu. Okay,
you still want to be able to do rhyme time
I do? Okay, I will, I will rally with rhyme time. Man.
Then we're gonna wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Yes, well, I hate to say this time I liked
you better when you're very sick and not communicating.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Alejandro in California, Allehandro, Welcome to the program.

Good morning on Migos five and a half two hundred.

he's the Mount Rushmore, but he's the only guy on
Rushmore because he could climb Mount Rushmore. Yeah. See the
uh you know what.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
The one of the craziest scenes of that just where
he's like sort of you get a real sense of
his strength. He's living in a van, I think at
some point because he's just traveling to all these places
that he's rock climbing, and part of his workout every
day is hanging just by his fingertips off the sliding
door of the van and he's got his whole body
in the air and he's just hanging there like that,
like basically.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Doing pull ups. Just on his fingertips like that.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It doesn't seem glamorous to be a rock climber. I'm
gonna I'm gonna say that because it's kind of baller though. Yeah,
but you don't really have an audience. There not a
lot of groupies. No, I don't think you have a
lot of Like if you say I'm into rock, you
know there's one way to go, Oh okay, yeah, what
kind of music? No, No, I'm into rock. I actually

attractive based off of the region that you live in. Right,

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Same thing with bull riding.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
If you're in Texas, all right, you're the man that

Yeah, but Formula one I can be the man all
around the world, all around Europe for sure. Yeah. Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
It seems like a very lonely sport if you can't
get tickets to it, if there's really no spectators are
there many thousand feet down with binoculars trying to catch
a glimpse of you with the ropes.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't know if that's really You never see a
