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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's
a meat Friday at that it's our two Dan and
the Dan That's Dan Patrick Show. We got our starting lineup,
Fritzy Seat and Marv Pauliers truly, and of course the
back room guys who were pitching in on this Meet
Friday because our chef Dylan got hurt yesterday playing pickleball
because he didn't have the right shoes on the Tyrol

(00:27):
pickleball shoes. But in case you're wondering Meat Friday, it's
Lamb Burgers. We have chicken Slovaki skewers, and we have
Greek salad. Who has it better than we do?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh, I's sound a little more enthusiastic with this these
dishes than I thought.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeah, Paul, it looks fantastic. Greek food's really good, really tasty.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Once a year I was on with Guy Fieri Diners,
Drive Ins and Dives and he said, hey, what do
you think of Greek food? And I said, uh, he goes, well,
we're going to a Greek restaurant. So I did my
episode of Diners, Drive Ins and dives and we were
at a Greek restaurant in the Connecticut area, and I

(01:15):
don't know, I think I was convincing as an actor
that I enjoyed the food. I mean, the food was good.
I'm just not a I like Greek food. Once a year,
that's good, but that's today. It's the once a year.
It's today, all right? Eight seven seven three DP show
email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at

(01:35):
DP show. We had football ish last night. I was
good with it, enjoyed it. Just loved seeing two teams
out there, even though it didn't really mean too much.
It wasn't pretty but Hall of Fame weekend and it
was Charger uniforms.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Man, are they good?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
But so are the Lions. But the Chargers. You know,
there's certain uniform when you're growing up and you see
them for the first time and they stay with you.
And the Chargers were the first game that I saw
in person.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I saw the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
And the Bengals in Cincinnati and John Hadel came out
and its number was twenty one and he is the quarterback.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I go, what wait, how does he have that number?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
And those uniforms had one of my favorite players Lance Alworth.
They just looked faster, quicker, better, and they were than
the Bengals because the Bengals were an expansion team. But
I just remember they came out and it was like, whoa.
There's a few of those teams.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
The Padres in the seventies had terrible looking uniforms and
they were all brown, and now they have really good
looking uniforms.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
They've taken a lot of the brown.

Speaker 7 (02:55):
Out of it.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
But I do like that yellow. You know, that gold
that they have in there really pops. But there's certain
uniforms where it just looked different. I remember the Marquette
Warriors when Al McGuire was the head coach and they
had uniforms that you didn't tuck into your.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Shorts, and I go, are you allowed to do that?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
And al McGuire let his players design the uniforms and
they were wild looking. But those are just some of those.
First time I saw UCLA play in person, that bruin blue,
I mean it just looked different. The Dodgers first time
I saw them play in Cincinnati, and I was like, wow,

(03:37):
that is gorgeous, Like white is white a color? Because
I looked at it and I go, I've never looked
at a white uniform and go, boy, that is a
beautiful shade of white.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
But it was just so popping.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Yes, Marvin, it's called heaven white. Okay, thank you.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
All right, So that's a color then, is that right, Tod?

Speaker 8 (03:59):
I would call color because there would be in a
box of crayons or in paint and things like that.
White is a color, just like black is a color, red, green.
It's not colorless.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Should we do some research on this.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
I don't know how it couldn't be a color, Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Just asking, Todd. I didn't graduate second in my class.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
Like water is colorless, but white is white?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
According to an article, white is the lightest color and
has no chroma, which makes it the least color in
a color.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay, but it is technically technically a color. Okay. See
we learned something. Yeah, yeah, yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
The two uniforms that stood out to me where I
went WHOA. When I was a kid, I was watching
a Michigan football game against Purdue, and it's probably the
first time I saw Michigan football with the blue and
the maize and the helmets as just like whatever that is,
I like it. And there's a guy named Anthony Carter
who you remember, and I was like, I fell for
and I would say the same thing. I saw Steve
Garvey in the World Series for the Dodgers. I was like, man,

(04:55):
does he look cool? And those uniforms are cool.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, you know, the Reds had like gray and then
they had you know, Cincinnati on their uniforms and they
were like, okay. But if you go back to the
Cincinnati Reds back in the sixties when Pete Rose first
came up, now, those were sharp looking because they had
sleeveless jerseys.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
There.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Ted Kluzinski, the big first baseman, I remember he had
cut off sleeves as his uniform top and those were
sharp looking uniforms. But I think everybody has one of those.
When you see something in person or even if you
see it on TV where you know, Notre Dame came
out one year and they, you know, with the helmet

(05:38):
was you know, as gold as it's ever been, like
it was Golden Dome, and that really stood out watching
USC the first time I saw them in person, because
I didn't like the uniform because they always beat Ohio State. Therefore,
I don't like that uniform. Then you see it in person,
you goh, it looks pretty good. Pretty good with that Marvin,

(05:59):
you got one yes, and you're gonna hate it. I
saw the Mariners play the Yankees. Is my first MLB
game Ken Griffy Jr. And they had the teal alternate uniforms.
Ken Griffy Jr. Was looking like a million dollars.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
He looked like a million dollars in any uniform.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
But he had a teal an Mariner's uniform.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I'm not a teal guy.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
But but though you're all in on the Mariners, you
got your Mariners hat on today.

Speaker 9 (06:26):
Oh, let's go cal Riley. Look my favorite baseball team
of all time ninety five Mariners, come on. Joey Kors, second,
second baseman, Day Buhner. The Martinez is no relation. I
know Randy Johnson obviously Griffy.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
That was his star studded team that didn't.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Do uh they lost in the ALC to a really
good Cleveland Indians team.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, but they didn't they didn't get.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Man, they captured the imagination.

Speaker 9 (06:52):
That's a beauty about Sports Center in the nineties, is
that that entire summer in nineteen ninety five, you guys
led with the Seattle Mariners coming back being down in
the Aos against the California Angels and they wanted to
one game playoff.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Maybe I was sorry going backways, yes, Paul, going.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Back to the Chargers and last night. Now, they don't.
Back in the early eighties, they didn't wear the powder blue.
It was more of a dark blue and gold with
the Dan Fouts. But when I was a kid, I
saw Dan Fouts and Charlie Joyner and Jefferson and those guys.
They looked fast, they look fun. It played to a
younger audience they always have.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
And the Rams had yellow in their uniform there for
a while, and then they moved on from that. There's
just certain jerseys where they're just like man left an
indelible mark on me.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
If you're watching on Peacock that's their streaming partner, Thank
you for downloading the app. Fritzie has a song and
it's a song that is I believe a Billy Joel's
song that makes fun of the Beatles.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Is that correct time?

Speaker 6 (07:53):
That would be accurate?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, you have a hole in Oates jersey or a
T shirt on that may be a ref.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
Install hole of notes in one of the lines, but
it's basically off of a Billy Joel song.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Okay, yes, Beatles related, Yes, Mormon.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
This kind of feels like a distrack.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh, no, it is.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
I've heard a bit of it.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
No, he's gonna take a shot at me.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
So you're Drake, he's Kendrick Lamar.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh that doesn't end well for me.

Speaker 8 (08:18):
But you got to take a shot of my dad
singing and being off pitch and not with the tune
of the song. So everybody will win.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
But you're trying to do well. Correct.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
I was trying to.

Speaker 8 (08:27):
Do well, but I knew that it wasn't going to
match up exactly and it was gonna probably be received
as more harsh than hopefully the words you find clever
it singing.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
I did hear some of the productions down the hallway,
and I talked to one of the studio producers who
produce this opus and Fritzi was offered a backing track
of the music. I'm not gonna tell you what the
song was. It's a famous song. He passed and wanted
to do it a cappella.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
Okay, I had to because the way I wrote it
wasn't going to match up exactly. With the words of
the song, so there was no way to be able
to unless there was some fancy editing involved with do
we have the song?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Marvin we do? Okay, let's go. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Here's Fritzy with a Billy Joel song making fun of
my love of the Beatles.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Boy band, weird hair news sound.

Speaker 10 (09:24):
I don't care, not into any of their notes. The
hype's been wrong for way too long. Get me haul
in notes.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
Hey, you get out of here. That's not when we
want to hear. Like you single yesterday. Let's leave it
in the past.

Speaker 10 (09:37):
She loves you close the lid. That one is so
puts my ears into a cast. Hey, Jude, not to
be rude, but what the heck is that?

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Dude?

Speaker 10 (09:46):
I think you kind of get the g just mix
me want to slash my wrist. It's no kiss on
my list. The Beetles are overrated. Everybody knows it, so
the case, let's close it. The Beetles are overrated.

Speaker 8 (10:00):
It's an average band that want to hold your hand.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Help.

Speaker 10 (10:04):
I don't feel any Sergeant Pepper makes me sneeze. The's
something they just lack. Penny Lane, that's insane. Strawberry Fields,
the lame. Give me Captain Jack, twist and shout please
some doubt. I'd much rather deal with gout. Don't want
to be too mean. But living in the.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Submarine, what's that all about? All you need is love?

Speaker 10 (10:23):
No, let it be, let it go, pay attention, Ring Go,
stock Backstreet, Poison Sync.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
They're much better. At least I think perhaps I've gone
too far. The Beetles are over raided.

Speaker 10 (10:33):
Everybody knows it, so the case, let's close it.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
The Beetles are over raided.

Speaker 10 (10:40):
It's an average band that wants to hold your hand,
and they should be.

Speaker 11 (10:44):
Bad and bad.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Okay, I'm gonna give you a round of applause there, Todd.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
That's for fun. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
At first, I know I'm not winning any singing awards,
but I just know it came to me and I
wanted to give it a shot.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
No, I thought it was fun. You know, you had
some fun there. Let's go around the room, Marvin.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
If he had somebody produce it and just kind of
stretch it out a little bit. The lyrics are great,
but he was just off beat.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
He's always off off beat with that. His timing is
not very good. But lyrically I thought it was fun.
You know, he got a lot of songs in there,
took some shots Paul.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Right on what I expected. Good writing, good jokes. Totally
doesn't match the song whatsoever, timing wise, exactly what I expected.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, nailed it, okay.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
And again, it wasn't supposed to be a shot directly
at you and be mean spirit towards you. It was
just in the spirit of fun, and you know, comparing
Hall Notes and Billy Joel to the Beatles and everything.
I didn't want you to take it too personally. It
shouldn't be seen as an attack. It was more of
a playful kind of thing. That's how I that's how
I wrote it, and that's how I decided to do
something about it.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, I'm fine with it.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
It wasn't meant to be cruel towards you.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
To apologize, It's okay. It's it's called satire exactly. You're
just having some.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
Fun, playful fun. Friday Meet Friday.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, a band that I grew up with, you know,
kind of formed my childhood. Here we got one of
the great bands of all time. Lyrically, I just craft
right all over it. But that's okay, It's all right,
all on good fun does it make you feel better
that little bit? Okay, that's really what this is all about.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Y'all get attacked by pro beatles people. Maybe I'll get
a few.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
Of your you're right, you know you said what needs
to be said, or song it didn't need to be sung.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Whatever, it is, all.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Good, Okay, thank you?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Don uh Dylan in San Diego, Hi Dylan, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 12 (12:37):
On Top DP longtime listener, second time caller five.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
Eleven one eighty five.

Speaker 12 (12:45):
So I got two things for you. One, you know,
I'm really tired of Marvin slandering my Jaguars, so I
have a pile of the fade bet for him.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
M hmm, Marvin, you've been piling on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
Not on purpose, but I don't feel bad about it.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Okay, So what's the bet? Bill?

Speaker 12 (13:05):
So the bet is whoever's closer to their over under
right now. I understand that the forty nine ers I
think are ten and a half wins, and I think
the Jags are seven and a half. So whoever's closer
to that over underwin the other person has to do
a pile of face.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Marvin.

Speaker 9 (13:24):
How about I take the under and you take the
over on your Jaguars. We just keep it simple.

Speaker 12 (13:32):
What under for the forty nine ers?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, no, no, no, no, he's gonna take seven wins
or less for the Jags, where you have to take
eight wins or more.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
For the Jags. Perfect, men, I'm all about it, all right.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Pile of the face. Is somebody keeping track of all
these pies through the face? I think maybe Mario. I
think he had something in his office where he had
a chalkboard. Yes, morning, I was just told Anthony is oh,
Anthony's doing it? Okay, all right, Paul.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Yes, that last caller said he's a fan of the
Jacksonville football team, but he called it the Jaguars. I
still hear jaguar.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Is that correct?

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Or is it jaguars?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Well, there's a car and then there's the animal.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Is there like a British pronunciation?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I think there's jaguar jaguar, But I just I. In fact,
when I was doing Sports Center, we would make fun
of it. We just call it jaguars just because you know,
people say, I know it's jaguars, and I go, I
don't think it's jaguars, it's jaguars.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Clears that up.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, of course it does. My great enunciating there Jaguars.
Thank you, Dylan. So now we have the bet on
record Bob and Montana. Hi Bob, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (14:49):
Oh? Hey, DP, Hey real quick, I do oh Marvin
and Pie to the face bet here for the NBA Final,
So I will I'll do that in the fall. But
the real reason I'm calling is thanks for the shout
out yesterday from Tyler and Utah. I would be more
than happy to road trip back down to Vegas again
November with my Elma suits because you said before that
you and I hanging out in our boxers backstage at

(15:12):
the Fountain Blue was one of the greatest moments in
your sports history career. So I would happy to be
able to come down and recreate that moment and do
whatever you guys need me to do at the f
one race.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Hey, thank you, Bob. I don't think it was one
of the great moments of my career. In my underwear
backstage with Bob from Montana, we're putting on Elvis jumpsuits
and yeah, we'll give you more details about going to
Vegas for Formula one. I don't know if we can
have a studio audience the way we did last time

(15:45):
when we were there for the Super Bowl. But if
we can, we'll let you know Notre Dame USC will
be going to that. We'll let you know the whole
setup with that, and if you can stop by the
set as well.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
So we're trying to clear some things.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
But those are some of the things as far as
road trips that we have coming up.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
All right, we'll take a.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Break and we'll recap our first hour poll question. We'll
come up with a new one. We'll talk about the
NFL's new first down measuring system from last night, and
I'm going to bring back what I talked about of
the AFC West with the coaches. Do you have four
Hall of Fame coaches in the AFC West right now?

(16:25):
And when's the last time we had a division where
you had four Hall of Fame caliber coaches in the
same division at the same time. We're back after this
in The Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 13 (16:46):
Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. Every day
five to seven pm Eastern but here's the thing. We
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.

Speaker 14 (16:54):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber list name in me.

Speaker 13 (17:09):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

Speaker 14 (17:13):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.

Speaker 13 (17:27):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.

Speaker 14 (17:37):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised
with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
New technology has come to the NFL, and it was
on display last night. Instead of the chain Gang system,
the NFL announced that this was back in April, that
it would use the Sony Hawkeye technologies the primary way
to measure the first down marker, and we got our
first glimpse of that last night. So instead of bringing

(18:11):
the chains onto the field to determine the line to
gain or if it's a first down, the NFL's new
system makes the information available in a matter of seconds,
potentially eliminating some of the controversial measurements that pop up
seemingly on a weekly basis. Before I go any further,
you know what the controversial measurements are. For me, it's

(18:33):
when the official spots the ball and you go, what
that's controversial? Not the chain gang guys. I like the
chain Gang guys coming out there. I like, you know
that tense. Is it going to be a first down?
Are they going to turn over the ball on downs?

(18:53):
So those guys, there's still a backup option, but it's
you know, it's like being a backup singer. You're not
the lead singer. And the Hawkeye technology. You know, as
long as they get it right. I mean with technology,
if you have it, then use it. And if it
speeds up the game, because a lot of technology doesn't

(19:15):
necessarily speed up the game, it might get the call right.
I have more of a problem where the official spots
the ball because that just seems random.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
This all right, they're going to get it right.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I don't know if we had that many controversial measurements,
but I know we've had controversial spotting of the ball.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, it will definitely save time, according to
Yahoo's at least ten seconds because the guy's running out
there planting it in the old chain style. There is
a little bit of drama because they show the grid.
It looks like a cartoon and then they say first
down or not. So there's a little bit of I
would say, old school stuff. But the the thing about

(20:00):
doing a measurement off a spot can't be done because
you can't measure where the player is down with the
ball simultaneously. There's no like chip in the knee of
the player, so they can't get to that yet.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Well even the ball that if you have a chip
on where the ball is. I just think that there's
far more controversy with the randomness of when they spot
the ball, not first down marker.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
And I do love the chain gang.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
My father used to be part of a chain gang
high school football Friday nights. He'd be out there in
his wingtips, in his trench coat and he would be
a part of the chain gang. So soft spot in
my heart for the chain gang.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, no human element in the spotting thing.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
That's only balls and strikes, not spotting a football. Well,
the human element of balls and strikes is going to
come to an end too, it sure is, Yes, it is.
It seems weird in an age of AI that were like, yeah,
but I just like the guy randomly doing it.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Just let just go, let the guy go do it.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
We do pick and choose of the old school randomness,
the human element of this. Yeah, oh we can't have that,
but ohen baseball balls and strengths. Yeah, I like the
human element of that. Yes, Todd, and I don't know
what you could do.

Speaker 8 (21:10):
Technology was, but forward progress to me is very subjective
as well. When you blow that whistle, when is the
officially stopped and then you wait another half a second,
almost to me falls forward for that extra half yard
that could be the difference of a first down or not.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
When is it called done at the play?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Thank you to it.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Welcome Emerson in Tampa. Hi Emerson, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 15 (21:29):
Hey?

How are you doing?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Good?

Speaker 17 (21:32):
Good?

Speaker 18 (21:33):

Speaker 18 (21:35):
Five, seven, eight?

Speaker 3 (21:37):
How old are you? Emerson?

Speaker 18 (21:39):
I'm twelve?

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, I'm glad to have you part of the program.
How can I help you today?

Speaker 18 (21:45):
I got a quick SAT of the day for you.
Of your callers from last week, okay, the average height
of all your callers was five to eleven, the average
weight was two oh nine, Your tallest collar was six six,
and your happiest collar was two ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Thank you Emerson.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Dad of your day, Dad of the Day's stead of
the day stat of the day?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Here comes that what stat of the day?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Thank you Emerson. We appreciate the phone call. David in Ohio,
Hi David, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 15 (22:19):
Hey?

Speaker 19 (22:19):
Dan, happy to meet Friday nobody. After doing a brief
bit of research, I did find out that they do
have like a chip or something in the ball. You
kind of answered the question earlier, but I guess I
could pivot to this Tod was trashing on the Beatles,
so I think Pod we I think we just need
to come together.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
So thank you, David.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Little Beatles humor. There, go ahead make fun of the
Beatles overrated. In case you missed the song, You're lucky.
I mean, you can always go to Danpatrick dot com
and listen to Todd making fun of the Beatles.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I'm looking at NFC East.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Coaches from nineteen eighty one to nineteen ninety because I
brought up the AFC West. You have Andy Reid, hall
of famer, Pete Carroll's got a case to being a
Hall of Famer. Jim Harball is a Hall of Fame
caliber coach. If you combine college in the pros and
then you have Sean Payton, who is I guess every

(23:18):
bet the equal that Mike Tomlin and John Harball are,
and they're considered to be Hall of famers. Bill Cower
got in and I would say Sean Payton is on
par with those kind of resumes. But I wondered if
you had four Hall of Fame caliber coaches in the
NFC East and you start with Tom Landry, Dick Vermeal,

(23:39):
and Joe Gibbs, they all overlapped in nineteen eighty one,
but then the Giants had Ray Perkins, so Parcells wasn't there.
Then you had Tom Landry, Joe Gibbs, Bill Parcells, but
the Eagles coach was Marion Campbell. Then you had coach Landry, Gibbs, Parcell,

(24:00):
Buddy Ryan. They overlapped for a year or so, and
then you had Gibbs, Parcells, Ryan and Jimmy Johnson, and
they overlapped a few years.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
But he's not in the Hall of.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Fame, is he? I don't think he is. He wasn't
a great head coach, but he was a great defensive coordinator. Yes, Marvin,
Oh no, I'm just shake him my head. I'm agreeing
with you. Oh okay, I didn't know. I don't think
Buddy Ryan's in the Hall of Fame because head coach stops.

(24:38):
I don't think he produced. Maybe some playoff teams, but
I don't think he didn't win any championships. But he
was the defensive coordinator for the Bears. But I was
wondering about that.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Is there, boy?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'd have to rack my brain on this, or maybe
the audience can help me. Is there a division that
had four Hall of Fame caliber coaches.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
At the same time.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
And that's why when I thought of the AFC West
last night, it was like, you got guys who were
Hall of Fame coaches on the same division. That's rare.
Uh Tom in North Carolina? Hi Tom, what's on your
mind today?

Speaker 20 (25:19):
Hey?

Speaker 15 (25:20):
DP?

Speaker 16 (25:20):
In great first hour? I did want to comment about
your first segment, but I want to preface this by saying,
I'm not looking for anybody to get fired at, you know,
not saying anything about that, but you were talking earlier
in the week about one of the brg's maybe being
over replaced.

Speaker 15 (25:41):
To all that.

Speaker 16 (25:42):
But the reason why I was calling is the first segment.
My wife had pointed it out. She said, what's going
on with Dan's hair? And I was like, wow, it
looks like alfalfa, And I just want to know if
somebody's responsible.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
I know it.

Speaker 16 (26:02):
You can't stop it right there, but I can see
Todd hanging you out the drive. But as far as
these other guys.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I don't think, well, nobody had anything to do with this.
Is my hair plastered down a little bit like alfalfa
from our gang.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
I thought Alfalfa was the like it's stuck up. Yeah,
is my hair sticking up?

Speaker 7 (26:25):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Well, thinks not from where I can.

Speaker 13 (26:27):
I don't know if maybe my eyesight is poor, poorer
than I remember, but I can't see any hair sticking up.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
And yeah, I don't know. I maybe I think you know,
threw a little palm ed on it. We usually do
you a solid doll. You got something on your face? Like, dude,
you got something on your face. We're usually pretty good.

Speaker 15 (26:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
See, you guys didn't leave me hanging now like Todd
might leave me hanging today.

Speaker 8 (26:48):
I usually say, don't tell Dan, but did you say that?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Is true? But sometimes I have it coming.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Todd's wife apparently is backstabbing me too today that I
don't know how to pronounce the dish one of the
dishes that we're having today, Is that right ton?

Speaker 8 (27:07):
I think you said sulvaki and it's sleu vaka. I
don't know, I'm not even getting it right.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
But if she tried to clarify something with the one
of the Greek foods.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, wait, your wife is critiquing me, but you don't
even know how to pronounce it.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Am I getting this right now?

Speaker 8 (27:22):
I think it's I think we were calling it or
you were calling it souvlocke. Actually it is SUVLACKEI and
we were calling it sulvaki. You may have said sulvaki
and it's souvlocke. If I'm reading this text right, Okay,
I don't think she was doing I think she was
just doing that as a correction. Not Aha, you don't
know what you're talking. Well, you're being very sensitive today.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well, it just feels like the whole Fritz family is
piling on a little bit.

Speaker 8 (27:46):
And then she went on to she doubled down with
an explanation of white versus black? How are you the
definition of the colors and the spectrum and the ohl
roy g bibb red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and to
go violet prism that happens with the coloors of the
rain or whatever. I didn't go there.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
I let her handle it.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Hell are we talking about right now? I have just
Todd's wife taking shots at me. Todd taking a shot
at me. Your daughter's probably gonna have something to say.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
To he usually does. He's not sure to stop picking
on my dad.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Rich In Athens, Hi, rich what's on your mind today?

Speaker 21 (28:22):
Hey, guys, always a pleasure of speaking with you and
as always, I'm sitting here with my dog Fritzy watching
the DP show. You guys were talking about the Chargers
uniform earlier. Got me thinking, I compile a list, a
short list of what I think are the best uniforms
in sports history, and also wanted to get y'alls take

(28:43):
on that. We got Chargers powder blue, We've got Houston
Astros Tequila Phone Rise from the seventies and eighties. We've
got the Toronto Raptors the Purple nine away jerseys from
the nineties, and we've got the Anaheim Mighty Duck gold Bird.
And then we also have the best uniform in sports history,

(29:05):
Sunday red and black from one Tiger, Eldrick Woods.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Let's go, thank you Rich.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, I can guess the era that he grew up
in the Raptor uniforms.

Speaker 9 (29:25):
Yes, Marvin, take that Raptor's uniform off. Vince Carter got
there and they were like, we have to take this
team series. Yes, and they got rid of those jerseys.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I think Vince threatened to leave Toronto unless they change
the uniforms.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Jack in Kentucky, Hi Jack, what's on your mind today?
On your mind today?

Speaker 22 (29:43):
And second time caller longtime listener five eleven, one seventy.
So I wanted to comment on the four Hall of
Fame coaching same division nineteen ninety four AFC East. You
got Bill Parcels with the Patriots, Marv Levy with the

(30:05):
Bulls or Bills, I'm sorry, and you also had.

Speaker 21 (30:11):
Dona Blank here, but.

Speaker 16 (30:13):
So yeah, don't with the Fins.

Speaker 22 (30:15):
And then, of course, even though he wasn't a Hall
of Fame coach just yet, you had Pete Carroll one
time year with the with the Jets.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Okay, yeah, the judges will accept that. I mean, Pete
wasn't a great coach at the time you had. You
have these guys now deep into their careers in the
AFC West. I mean, you can make a case they're
all Hall of famers. Pete Carroll and you know, with
one Super Bowl win, two Super Bowl appearances, Sean Payton

(30:45):
won a Super Bowl. Andy Reid of course as a
Hall of Famer. Harball just kind of the totality of
his resume that he's a Hall of Famer as well,
got to a Super Bowl, lost to his brother. Let
me see Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what's on your
mind today?

Speaker 7 (31:03):
H ADP.

Speaker 11 (31:04):
Thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to weigh
in on the whole Beatles controversy.

Speaker 15 (31:09):
Growing up.

Speaker 11 (31:10):
I'm the youngest of five and my dad said that
if we ever made a car payment that we could
choose the radio station. So that never happened. Grew up
listening to the fifties, sixties in early seventies music, and
I think what Todd's missing is the Beatles influence from
singing songs like hold My Hand and not just being

(31:30):
like Herman's Hermit's with Henry the Eighth I am so.
I think he's missing the influence that they had. And
as far as Terry McLaurin goes day that man, he's money.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Thank you, Zach. Yeah, but it's weird.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Todd doesn't like Michelle Beatle either, like it's the Beatles
and yeah, you don't even like Michelle Beatle.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
That was at a private moment for wherever all the
dirty lunggers.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Justin in New York, Hi, Justin. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Hey Dan?

Speaker 20 (32:01):
First time, long time five ten one seventy seven. My
daughter Evelyn sent you a little card a couple of
weeks ago, and she saw it on your desk the
other day and she wanted to call in and thank
you for putting on that.

Speaker 23 (32:16):
Okay, go ahead, Hi, Dan, I'm Evelyn four for six
inches and I'm fifty four pounds. I just wanted to
tell you, let you know that I'm a huge fan
of your show and I greatly appreciate you putting my
letter on your desk.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Evelyn, thank you. I have the card here. It says
I love you and I love your podcast. Is that
from Evelyn Finkle?

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Is that right?

Speaker 23 (32:45):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Well, thank you. Do you have a favorite Dan at Oh?
Go ahead, Marvin, Marvin is your favorite? Okay? Well, Evelyn,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
It's a very very pretty card that I have here,
and you got some hearts on there and some stars,
and then you have a note on the back. You
love hearing me talk about NFL, and I always agree
with you, and I always love hearing the new stat
of the Day songs. You are the best. Well, thank you, Evelyn.
Thank you for calling in. Very nice, sea Ton.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah, it's just nice to have somebody who appreciates.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
You, know what.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
That was my father best moment of the show. So fun,
and it may be for the next hour.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
And a half.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Let's take a break. Maybe I'm gonna go over there
and hug you.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
I don't think you're gonna do that.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, yeah, it could be a virtual hugg is fine.

Speaker 6 (33:35):
I'll take that.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, I'm gonna go over there and hug you. Tod

Yes, thank you. All right, we'll take a break.

Big Night tonight for Fritzie and his wife. They're gonna
watch Happy Gilmore too. Finally getting around to it, I
guess tonight is movie night at your house.

Speaker 8 (34:08):
Little Italian dinner at around six, and then I guess
around seven thirty eight o'clock.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
Let's roll it.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
So I'm gonna set the mood I think for the
night you are with my roll.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
I'll get back John back into.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
That little Olive garden tonight and then all of you.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
The night is young. Who knows what a little transpire.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
I'm guessing nothing.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
I'm guessing nothing too.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Let's keep my hopes nothing.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
But my wife finally got around to watching Happy Gilmore
Too with my youngest daughter, and she said, I really
enjoyed it. I didn't think it would be a movie
that she would embrace, but she did watch the original
the night before and I said, honey, you don't need
to watch that to understand Happy Gilmore Too. And she goes, no,

(34:55):
I just wanted to, you know, just so I understood
if there's any jokes from the first one to the
second one.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
So okay.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
And she liked vern Lundquist. I said, okay. I said,
what was he the best sports announcer in the movie?
She goes, no, I just I thought he was funny.
I thought his delivery was really funny. We have our
first casualty was a great line in the first few
minutes of the movie. By the way, you slide into

(35:22):
the weekend thanks to King Sawaiian and in summer, it's
grilling season. Get ready and you start in the bakery
or delhi section of your local grocery store, pick up
the irresistible Kings of Lion Roles slider buns, and enjoy
coming up this Weekend. You've got Terek Scoobel is pitching

(35:42):
Paul's schemes is pitching now. I'm wondering about this. I'm
looking at Paul's schemes. When he was in college. He
was a great hitter starting out an Air Force Academy.
He was a legitimate power hitter. And I'm wondering, God, Nick,
time we have him on, i gotta ask him, is

(36:03):
there any chance that he could go Otani hon Us
and not only be a great pitcher, but great hitter.
But I think he's got some pretty good power numbers.
He went to Air Force Academy and then he went
to LSU after that. The fever at the Wings. Paige
Beckers is she's looking pretty good. She average around eighteen

(36:26):
a game, and is when's Caitlyn Clark coming back? Is
there any any update on this? By the way, her teammate,
what's your name, Sophie Cunningham, she's become a thing by
It was one moment where she stood up for Kitlyn
Clark and she brought down an opposing player going in

(36:49):
for a layup. And she talked about on her podcast,
Show Me Something on Caitlin Clark being the face of
the league.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
It literally like pisses me and people are like, she's
not the face.

Speaker 7 (37:01):
Of the league.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Who would what, Sabrina, No, well, there's really.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
Good, well known people in our league.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
I'm not discreting them, like we have a lot of
badasses in our league. Like hell, yeah, of that, I'm
off for that.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
But when people try to argue that she's not the
face of our league, yeah, or our league would be
where we're at without her, you're dumb.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Yeah, you're literally dumb.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
So that's the enforcer for the fever. Sophie Cunningham and
her podcast Show Me Something podcast. Yeah, this isn't it's not.
I mean, you can have an opinion, but it's fact.
She's the face of the league. I mean the numbers
bear this out. But yeah, Paulie, I.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Went back and look at Paul Skeen's at air Force
and you're right, he was completely a two way player.
He hit four ten with eleven home runs as a freshman.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, I wonder if he's thought about trying to be
a two way player in baseball. Let's see sock on Sunday,
Man United versus Everton and Tottenham versus Newcastle. The Wyndham
Championship as well coming up this weekend. So slide into
the weekend courtesy of Kings Hawaiian. Pick up the Kings

(38:13):
Hawaiian roles in the Bakery or Delhi section, and you
can go to kingswin dot com all your recipe inspirations.
Let's see, this was just sent to us by John Tuvey,
our stat guy. Coaches in the nineteen sixty nine AFL
Western Division Paul Brown, Lou Saban, Sid Gilman, Hankstram, and
John Madden. All but Saban are in the Hall of Fame.

(38:37):
Madden was at the front end of his career in
nineteen sixty nine. Okay, talk about maybe the modern era
of the NFL, but that's the AFL. But thank you, sir,
Thank you Jay and Delaware. Hi Jay, what's on your
mind today?

Speaker 12 (38:56):
Hey?

Speaker 17 (38:56):
DP.

Speaker 24 (38:57):
I was thought about the coaches topic, and I thought
about the NFC West and at early twenty tens, when
we had Jim there, Pete there Ba and Jeff Fisher
was on a good run too. I thought, you know,
a lot of us probably thought Jeff Fisher was going
to have a little bit better coaching career than what
ended up having. But he'd got three potential Hall of

(39:17):
Fame coaches, and then Jeff Fisher kind of close to that.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
All right, well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, it just came to me last night and I'm
watching the game and I'm thinking of the AFC West
and they show Harball and I go, you know, Andy
Reid Hall of Famer, he caroled back in the NFL
Hall of Famer, Sean Payton Hall of Famer, and Jim
Harball with the combination of college and pro Hall of Famer.
Mike and Iowa, Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (39:45):
He dp?

Speaker 17 (39:47):
First time, longtime? Six, Oh, yes, listen, I have to
weigh in. I can't believe anybody needs to back you
up on your take with the Beatles. But years ago,
an author who is a music critic by the name
of Stephen Hayden came out with a band a book
called Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me. It's like kind

(40:08):
of a rivalry like documentary of rivalry of bands. It's
I'm paraphrasing here, but essentially he says, arguing against the
Beatles being the greatest band in the world is like
arguing against gravity, because there are so few things that
the world comes together to agree on, and pretty much
the world agrees that the Beatles are the greatest band
of all time.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Right, well, thank you, Mike. It's in the iur ear
of the beholder. And if Fritzy didn't get the Beatles,
doesn't get Springsteen, that's on him. There's only so much
I can do. I try.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
I try. Yeah, Paul, I half agree with that.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
You could disagree with the music of the Beatles and
not enjoy it, which Fritzi does not. But I don't
think you could really argue with the worldwide impact. That's
a tougher one to argue with in any way.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Mike in Michigan, Hi, Mike, what's on your mind?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Hello?

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Ike?

Speaker 15 (41:02):
Hey Dan, good morning, Good morning. I love the phone
call from the young girl that sent you the card.
Thank you, and it kind of kind of struck me
after I thought about it for a minute. That why
Marvin was her favorite Dante. It must be because they've
both got small hands.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Wow, man, we're supposed to be feeling good on a Friday.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
What was that about.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I think because you and Evelyn have the same hand size,
that's why she could relate to you and your her
favorite Dan end.

Speaker 9 (41:38):
I mean, he's not wrong, but it's still hurt.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
We're gonna play nice final hour. I'm gonna leave it
up to you guys. Oh nobody. It's a meat Friday morale,
is hi
