You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

in about twenty minutes from now. This is an interview
(00:43):
that we tape yesterday after the show. Tom had a
window where he was doing a select number of interviews
and we had him for ten minutes. We took it
to twelve minutes, and I think we touched on a
variety of topics. So Tom Brady joins us coming up
in a little bit. Phone calls are always welcome. Age

to iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio lineup as well. Whole
question from hour one are we going to continue in
an hour or two? Seaton? Dad, I put up one
that we haven't really even gotten into the topic yet. Okay,
(01:26):
but the question is which is the worst driver? Slow
in the passing lane or the tailgater? O. Seaton had
a moment today, an incident today. How would you describe
what happened? And when you were in route to work?
It was actually fairly a common experience for me, except
for one wrinkle, okay of it? All right? It turns
out I get the middle finger a lot when I'm
(01:48):
driving because I think I'm an aggressive driver. I could
admit that, although in this moment nothing really stood out
to me as being overly aggressive. There was a car
in the passing lane all the way over to the left,
an SUV, and they were going probably slower than they
should have. So I wasn't riding right up on them
at all, because I've definitely been worse about it, but
(02:09):
I was close enough to let them know, like, all right,
it's time to move over. So the rest of us
can get through, and after a little bit the person
didn't move over. So once I got the chance, I
just went around them and then passed them and kept
on going. And about a minute or two later, that
car sped up next to me like crazy fast, clearly
trying to get my attention, and the guy gave me
(02:30):
the middle finger, so, which is nothing new for me,
so I just gave him the middle finger back. But
what was different was then in the passenger seat what
looked like a like twelve year old boy with his
little shaggy hair leaned forward and he also gave me
the finger. So I looked at the kid, I pointed
at him, I gave the kid the middle finger, and
(02:51):
then I looked at the dad and pointed back to
the kid and sort of did like a mock clapping
motion and gave him a thumbs up, and then tinued
on with my day. That's great parenting, Yeah, I like, yeah,
all right, and then yeah, then I got to work,
and that's about it. Probably the same thing probably happened
on the way home. Do you think you could be
(03:12):
the problem. It's possible. There there's definitely been times that
I'm like, oh, I deserve the middle finger, There's no
doubt about it. I was being a real jerk. Not
in that moment though. I really it really didn't stand
out to me as like, well, I probably could have
been nice to that guy, like I waited, waited, waited, none,
All right, he's not going to move over. So then
I just went around him. Once the traffic opened up
and allowed me to do that, then I went around him.
(03:33):
Didn't you have the incident where the guy was upset
with you and he didn't flip you off, He just
was had his hand on the steering wheel and just
sort of lifted up his bird finger. Yea. He was driving,
and he had his he clearly had his family in
the car, because I'm guessing there was a woman sitting
next to him, and it was an SUV and there
was like soccer stickers and stuff, so you could tell
(03:53):
it was like a family roadster. Yeah, and uh yeah,
I kind of I went around the guy and got
in front of him, and when I looked in my
rearview mirror, he didn't take his hands off of the
steering wheel. He just extended one finger the hidden bird track,
the hidden bird like that. I'm surprised Seaton. I would
not have guessed Seaton to be a middle finger return
(04:14):
serve type person. But I love that he gave the
middle finger back to the kid. That's even better. Yeah, well,
I mean, hey the kid, all right, big guy, you
want to you're gonna throw him around. I like how
dad did it. And then this little whipper snapper just
leans forward. I didn't even know that he was there,
but then just from like behind the dad, you just
saw this little shaggy haired kid. Next U. Next up
(04:39):
for father and son will be going to a White
Sox game and then coming out of the stands and
beating up on a first base coach. Remember that father
and son who did that? Sure? Well, good times? Yes, Marv.
Do you think the father encouraged the son to give
the middle finger to Seaton. I'm gonna guess they've probably
been in a moment like this before. He probably didn't
(05:01):
discourage his son from dwell, yeah, I'm guessing he. I
mean he I know, he could have been ten, he
could have been thirteen. I don't I don't really know,
but he was around that age, right around right around
your son's my son's age. Yeah, would your son do that? No? No,
okay no, And he's seen me give people the middle
finger a million times and he's like that, Dad, you
(05:22):
can't do that, Dad, you can't do that. See, I
don't do it, just because if it does happen, ay
it's Dan Patrick flipped me off or somebody who doesn't know,
but he is gonna stop the car and then get
in my face, because that happened one time when I'm
driving home from the airport in New York and New
(05:43):
Yorkers had this way of let me go all the
way up and then just kind of butt in in
front of everybody in traffic. And there was this pickup
truck that was on my right and he wanted to
get in, and we were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic,
and he wanted to move in front of the line
and I wouldn't let him, and he got in front
(06:03):
of me and stopped his truck, and so it's bumper
to bumper. He stops and he gets out and he's
coming back to the car, and I'm with my daughter.
So they go Daddy's coming back. Daddy's coming back. He said,
keep the windows up, and all of a sudden there
was a little break in the traffic, and then I
went around the guy. So he's walking with all of
(06:26):
these cars on an expressway in New York, and I
could just see him as I'm navigating through traffic that
he was trying to navigate through traffic with his truck.
But I was able to elude him a high speed
a low speed chase. I was able to elude him
because it wasn't going to be pretty if he came
(06:47):
back to the door. I'm guessing somehow he would have
gotten the door open. Yeah, but I'm guaranteed what would
happen in this situation. Let's say you pulled over and
it is going to be like a scuffle or something.
The guy would have got out, slammed the door, walked him,
goes hey, Dan Patrick before Center, and the whole thing
would have been diffused immediately because you're famous. I guarantee it.
He would say, Oh, Dan Patrick Sports Center, I'm gonna
kick your ass. Yeah. See that's my wife is always like,
(07:13):
don't end up on YouTube, please, please don't go end
up on YouTube. The jury is still out on whether
or not Baker Mayfield was his success in Cleveland and
after the Deshaun Watson trade, I don't think we'll ever
get answers there. Baker did a lot for the franchisese
At times I thought he was a franchise quarterback, But
the Browns have decided to move on. Baker remains in limbo,
(07:36):
and it was reported yesterday that the Carolina Panthers have
shown an urgency to trade for him. Talks are still
going on. The Browns got Baker Mayfield at just under
nineteen million dollars. I don't know what Carolina would have
to give up trade for him. Cleveland doesn't want to
just release him and pay that money. But you know
(07:59):
the brown are gonna have to eat a majority of
Baker Mayfield's salary. The team might not have given themselves
much of a choice because of their decision to bring
into Shaun Watson. By the way, guess who the Browns
play in Week one of the regular season. You can't
script this any better, your Carolina Panthers. Let's go in
(08:24):
the words of Tom Brady. By the way, Carolina Panthers
odds to win the Super Bowl plus thirteen hundred thirteen thousand,
thirteen thousand the over under for the Carolina Panthers. Who
wants to take a gas Todd over under Carolina Panthers
right now according to DraftKings, sixteen thousand, No, no wins. Oh,
(08:47):
how many wins they're gonna win? Six games? All right? Seaton?
Four games, four game marv five and a half, five
damn five five winds at a tie. That's all right, PAULI.
I think the Vegas over under will be six and
a half. It's six, ding ding ding. Todd has done
(09:10):
it again. You didn't even understand the question six. Oh,
we'll get some phone calls here. Deshaun Watson met with
the media yesterday. I was surprised almost all of his
answers started with some form of I didn't understand that
I respect that question at this time. Answered honestly, respect
(09:32):
the process, legal question. I can't get into details about
never assaulted, never threatened, never disrespected anyone. I thought that
he had a calm demeanor about this. UM. Felt like
the answers were measured. Probably were. He took a lot
of questions here, um he Here's one that starts with
(09:56):
the reporters question on why should have or we believe
you in these cases if they go before a jury.
Why should a jury that might you're these cases believe
you over dozens of women. I understand that question and
I definitely respect it, but I feel like that this
environment come up with football field. It's hard to answer
(10:17):
that question, but I especially without talking to anybody on
my legal team. But at the same time, you know,
I've been honest and I've been truthful about my stance,
and as you know, I've never four seen anyone. I've
never assaulted you. Okay, now you just came off the
football field, and it's tough to answer this. It's tough
to answer why a jury should believe you. That should
(10:40):
be that's an easy question because I'm innocent and I
never did anything wrong. Like what are you doing? I
would just want to know. I think somebody asked this,
that are you saying that those twenty four now it's
going to be twenty six women, they're all lying now.
Here was another question that was asked and some people
(11:03):
had a problem with it. Why don't you countersue these women?
If you're going to your reputation is going to be
tainted the rest of your life. You're always going to
be known as in some circles, that guy who did this.
Whether you're found innocent or not. Will you countersue? And
he shook that off, But I think it's a fair question.
(11:26):
You know, they have not ruined your reputation, but they've
come pretty close here if they're Look, if you're completely innocent. Now, granted,
Lance Armstrong did this throughout all of that drama. He
attacked the attackers. Now turns out that Lance was lying.
But it did work. It did work for a decade.
(11:48):
But with Deshaun Watson, why not why not just say, look,
I want to get my reputation back. Now, he might say,
once I'm proven innocent, I'll get my reputation back. Yes, Ton,
whether you decide to counter sue or not. The fact
that you're so calm and cool, and maybe he's just
playing it that way, wouldn't you be very angry if
someone is destroying your reputation accusing you of something you
(12:09):
didn't do. I would be more likely to be really angry.
I know we've seen in the past people fake being
angry and it turns out that they were lying all
the time. But I don't know how it could be
so calm and cool when someone's accusing of such horrible things. Well,
we've seen Lance Armstrong be angry it feels like sometimes
the angry or you get, the more suspicious I am
(12:31):
of you and those charges. Deshaun Watson seemed very measured,
very calm. I was surprised that he was in front
of the media. Now that might be the Cleveland Brown saying,
if you're innocent, or we believe you're innocent, then you
have nothing to hide. You don't have any lawyer with you,
and you can answer these questions the best you can,
and those you can't, then you just say, you know,
(12:53):
that's ongoing legal process. I don't know if it was
a bad day for him. You know, he was trying
to buy some time when they asked the question where
he's like, uh, you know, I respect that question, and
then stalling, stalling, stalling, I just came off football field
and stalling, stalling, stalling, and then you don't really answer it.
(13:17):
That should have been one of those because I'm innocent,
that's it. And he kept saying he answered everything truthfully.
Well he's already lied or misled because they said, well,
maybe it's around forty it's sixty six massages, so you
kind of missed out on a few there. Are you
(13:39):
being honest? Are you being honest in accordance to what
your lawyer wants you to be. Yeah, Martha, do you
think the Browns are thinking, hey, let's just get through
this year and let's get through this first initial suspension
and then we can go on with the rest of
his contract. Or Yeah, all you want to do is Okay,
what's the punishment? If he's winning games for you, then
(14:00):
it's up to Cleveland fans to go. Is that still
my team? Do you care? Are you going to have
a jersey? You know, it's that fan base because everybody
outside of Cleveland, they're gonna look at this differently. It's
not like, hey, he's helping my football team win and
he is an upgrade over Baker Mayfield. But at some
(14:20):
point you have to come to that crossroad. I think
if you're a Browns fan and say, can I root
for this guy? I'm a Browns fan. Can I root
for that guy? And when he starts winning for you,
does then maybe that level of he's my guy increase.
(14:41):
I have no idea. When you win, we ignore an
awful lot. Yeah, Marph. If Deshaun Watson leads the Browns
to the Super Bowl, he will trump Lebron James because
it's a Brownstown right, Yeah, Now, how will people feel
about like Deshaun Watson being that guy that leads the Browns. Oh,
I don't even want to get close to that because
I don't even know if he's going to play this year.
(15:03):
Like I want to see once he's able to play
started season and to be fair to this situation because
that's a hypothetical Lebron did it, but it is a
Browns town. Yeah, Paul, I'm most curious. Let's say he
gets hypothetically a six or eight game suspension. I think
that's what everyone thinks. It's it's some level that is
his legal team in the NFLPA going to fight this,
(15:24):
completely fight it. Because if I'm an athlete who says
I'm completely innocent, there's nothing, he's submitted to nothing, He's
not even asking for anything. Why would you accept at
a suspension? Why would you let the NFLPA accept a
suspension in your behalf? You're gonna fight this everywhere, you know,
get an injunction if he's truly innocent. I think that's
what his legal team is going to do or try
(15:45):
to do. Well. Who knows with Rusty Harden, who's his lawyer.
That's a wild card there, and he might want to,
you know, say all right, we're gonna go after the NFL.
You know, I want to be out there. I want
to be out there in front of the spotlight, and
I'm Usty Harden and I'm going after the NFL, just
like you know he paraded Roger Clemens around Congress. How
(16:08):
did that workout? Yes? But if you're Deshaun Watson, how
much longer do you want to keep this in the news?
I know, well you could have. You could have two
different schools of thought there that Deshaun's like, I just
want to play football and I just kind of want
to be a quarterback. Here, Rusty Harden may go no, no, no,
I'm gonna You're my trojan horse, so I'm gonna ride in.
I'm taking on the NFL. Yes time. And if you're
(16:29):
all in on your innocence, you almost have to do
that making a deal in the public eye. To me,
at least, some will be like, oh, it's more than
just I just want this to go away. I want
to talk about anymore. He must have done something and
he's agreeing to this punishment. Well. Also, you know, there
was the report that if he was going to be
traded to the Dolphins. The Dolphins said, you got to
settle these cases, and he tried to reportedly settle all
(16:50):
of them except for two. Wouldn't settle. Well, if you're
trying to settle, feels like there's some culpability there. You know.
My thing would be, why am I settling? I'm I'm
I'm innocent. Feels like it's uh, well it could be
a little guilty. But maybe this will go away. You know, see,
(17:11):
is public opinion on this still up in the air,
and it seems like people, for the most part, have
an idea of what they believe went on here and
I don't know that. So okay, go ahead and fight
the suspension and then say he goes it's zero games
now and he wins. Are you all of a sudden
gonna be like, huh it turns out he was innocent
all along? How about that? Well, it's not. But he's
(17:33):
either innocent or he's pathological. It's not. There's nothing in between. Yeah,
But fighting and a suspension from the NFL doesn't do
anything to change that. It does. It's not going to
change public opinion at all. No one. Maybe it's gonna
look at him fighting the NFL and be like, you
know what, I think I believe him now. But the
two grand juries helped out his case definitely. But that's
(17:53):
me that there's That doesn't mean that he didn't do anything.
That just means there's not enough evidence to show that
he did anything. Well, there's no criminal charges. Right, Let's
take a break. Tom Brady up next, Dan Patrick show.

Tom Brady's partnership with Hurts continues this spraying a series
of engaging ads, social content and this time around Hurts
and time or getting customers to there. Let's Go moments
(20:04):
featuring alongside Tom and the ads, the new Hurts exclusive
Shelby Mustang's the newest addition to Hurts Evie Rental Fleet.
We spoke to Tom yesterday, spend some time. We were
allowed ten minutes. We went a little bit longer, and
I started with the question if you would have stuck
with baseball. He was drafted by the Montreal expos If
(20:26):
he had stuck with baseball instead of football, where would
you be today? I'd be selling insurance. Baseball was not
my sport. I loved it, but I was much I
turned out to be. Obviously, football was the one I
chose for a reason. Although I did love baseball. It
was a great sport growing especially in California growing up
Barry Bonds went from my high school, Greg Jeffries. It
(20:51):
was a great baseball school. So that was my first
first love, and then football. Obviously, once I started playing
football was game over. Okay, but what's the scouting report
on Tom Brady? Baseball player A lot like football? You know,
probably not that powerful, uh, you know, pretty smart game manager,
(21:16):
not very fast on the first baseline, probably best at
catcher where he doesn't have to move that much but
likes to direct other people around. So I think probably
wouldn't be much different. I think you've come full circle
from the picture at the combine to now you and
your underwear selling Tom Brady underwear. It all worked out, Yeah, yeah,
(21:37):
somehow worked out. I know a lot of a lot
of time in the last twenty three years to get
a little bit better shape. So I was a college kid,
I was coming out of college. Oh my god, that
probably wasn't my finest moment. But I always joke about
that picture, like, no one else has a picture like that.
Where's Peyton manager? He didn't look great in those in
those great shorts. You so, but I just somehow I'll
(21:57):
never see a picture of that. What would you pay
to have that picture trying to combine and you remove
it from civilization? Oh? Man, you know what. I wouldn't
pay anything, but I would just, uh, it's it's serves
as a great reminder where I've come from. So at
this part, at this point, I would say it's pretty
(22:20):
cool with it. It's I look back and I think
I remember that day. I remember rooming with Mark Boulger
in Indianapolis hotel room and laughing, you know, about where
we were at and couldn't imagine that we were both
in this position we were in, and that, you know,
Brady Boulger wasn't the greatest quarterback class Chris Redman and
(22:43):
Chad Pennington. So we'll come a long way since then.
But Mark actually had a great career. Tim Ritey, a
lot of these guys that just I don't run into
that much anymore. But we had a good we had
a great time. I love that you remember all the
quarterbacks that we're taking ahead of you though a few
that were taken after two T Martin, Geo Kermozzi. I
(23:05):
remember all them. But that that was really important to
me at the time. I mean, it was my whole life.
I was. That was the beginning of the internet where
they were doing mock drafts, you know, and you went
on these these sights and you saw, you know, where
this person thought you were going to drafted, where this
person thought you'd get drafted. So it was it was
a lot going into that, you know, that year, and
(23:29):
it seems like it went so fast, literally I blinked
my eye. I'm like here I am. I'm like, Holy
where did the time go? And you know, I can't
believe that, you know, I played this long. It's hard
to imagine. I know you're representing Hurts. If I said
you could have three teammates get in the rental car
with you and you're going to start a new team,
(23:53):
any three all time? Who who's in the back seat
or maybe one's in the front seat with you? Guys
I played with the guys that I played against. I'll
let you pick three guys. He's gonna start a football team.
I would say that's there's more than three. So I
(24:14):
think that there's a there's reasons why all of them
would be there and not for the reasons that people
may see. Um, and I don't think just three would
be would be would be right? There would probably be ten. Um.
Do Hurts have an suv that we can put ten
guys in? They must have a fifteen seater. Okay, you
(24:35):
gotta get like a fifteen seater like the kind that
my neighbors had when you know they had nine kids
next door and they had the minivan or the large van.
Um Rodney Harrison was great, Um, Wes Welker was great,
Brandy moss Um. I mean, there's too many in the name,
(24:58):
ty law Um, Kevin Falk, Julian Edelman, Gronk. I'm naming
all the offention. I noticed that too. Well, you got
Tie and Rodney in there, so try and romy Um.
I mean they're all everyone's everyone's different for different reasons.
I think about all our great teams everyone. Some years
(25:20):
our defense was a little bit better on offense. So
when I think about those years, it's like Richard Seymour,
I mean, he's unbelievable, Vince Wilfork, I'm junior, say ow
M Sante Samuel, and then you know, other years our
offense was totally dynamic, like oh seven, when you're thinking
about more, Wes and Randy, Kevin Falk, So, Matt Light
and everyone was so good. They're all great. I mean,
(25:41):
for God's sakes, they're in the NFL. They're one of
the greatest, you know, in the world. So you know,
I almost said tough to choose. I almost said this
to you on the podium when you guys beat Seattle,
and it probably wasn't going to be fair to you,
but I almost said to you do you think you
should give the keys to Malcolm Butler? Yeah, to that
that truck. When did you decide that you were going
(26:04):
to do that? You know, I will say that that
was one of the greatest defensive plays in the history
of the NFL. Malcolm Butler had that ability to make
that play. There are very very few cornerbacks in the
NFL that have the twitchiness and the reaction to get
to that football. And as much as people will say, oh,
(26:26):
you should have handled the ball off, we put a
defense in that day that didn't allow you to handle
the ball off. You know. They you know, there's kind
of a clip on our sideline where they call like
goal line three corners. Malcolm ran in. We forced them
to throw the ball, and you know they could have
given it to Marshawn obviously, I would say that, you know,
(26:48):
the coverage was an all out blitz and the ball
had to come out quick, and Malcolm made the play.
So I do think that was one of the great
plays in NFL history that Malcolm, you know, for as
great for I would say, as much reaction to oh
they should have handed the ball off, I wish there
was the same reaction that was can you believe how
incredible of a play that was that Malcolm made. In fact,
(27:10):
that's why I gave Malcolm the car, because Malcolm deserved
the car, and you know, I think he still got it.
How involved were you with the concept of these commercials
with Hurts? Pretty involved, you know, I you know, I
absolutely saw them from kind of inception. There were a
lot of fun you know. I think that part of
(27:31):
them were just trying to show we're also, you know,
deadly serious with everything we talk about these days, you know,
trying to have fun with different things. I mean, we
all could laugh a little bit more so. I love
the fact that, even with social media at least, how
what I try to do is just lighten people's mood
a little bit, have a little fun with the day,
you know, and not take things too seriously. And I
(27:51):
think these Hurts ads all reflect kind of a little
bit of that. So I've had two production days with them.
We got another one coming up, but they've been really
fun to work with. Um. You know, the group of
the leadership group it Hurts has done a great job.
It's it's really a great brand, and they're doing great
things with their business and transitioning most of their fleet
to evs electric vehicles with I think they had put
(28:15):
in the largest Tesla order in the world or something.
So part of Elon getting too a trillion dollar wealth
or something's going to be this. This hurts order, So
good for him. Give me the day, the moment when
you say to Giselle, I'm going back. Uh. You know,
we had quite a bit of time together, and I
(28:37):
think mostly when I kind of told the team, look like,
you know, you guys got to make plans without me,
you know, And then you know, Jason and Bruce said
just give it time, you know, and I said, look,
I feel pretty strongly, you know, And and then you know,
time went by, and then you just get super competitive,
you know. And I think I'm part of crazy. I mean,
(28:58):
I think that's the reality. Forty five years old and
I'm out here with a lot of young guys that
are trying to take my head off. And I see
Aaron Donald work out on my Instagram. I'm like, damn,
maybe I should have retired, you know, because he's a beast.
But you know, I had the appetite to compete, and
(29:19):
it's going to be gone soon. I mean, there's no
doubt about it, and I gotta, you know, just really
appreciate what the time I have left because it's not
a lot. But I wondered the transition, and you know,
Drew Brees went through this like you get done, and
then he went into the studio, and that's too abrupt,
Like that's that's that's that's a different reality. You're going
(29:39):
from playing to preparing for a game in a different way.
While you're at the site, you're going to feel that energy.
I mean, that's as close as you're going to get
to playing it again. It feels like or I don't
know if that factored in with you wanting to be
game site as opposed to studio. Yeah, and I think
that's what I've because I'm most familiar you're with that
(30:01):
just based on the fact that I've look, I've been
in every production meeting for twenty two years, you know,
since when I started playing in two thousand and one.
I know what those guys are asking, I know what
they're asked to do, and I think it feels very
much like a team that goes on the road to
prepare for a game. So there's a lot of learning curve.
(30:22):
I mean, obviously it'll be a totally new career. It's
a new opportunity for me to try something that I'm
going to work really hard to prepare to be as
good as I possibly can be, knowing that the day
that I walk on the set for the first time
won't be my finest moment. There'll be you know, a
lot of growing pains, and I'll have to learn to
be really good at it. But I also think there's
(30:43):
part of it that excites me is I get to
travel and be around football and be around people that
you know, I've been around great mentors in my football career,
you know, being blessed to get drafted by the Patriots,
I was around one of the great owners in the
history of the end fell on mister Craft, one of
the great the greatest head coach in NFL history, and uh,
(31:06):
you know in coach Belichick, Josh McDaniels, Charlie Wise, Romeo Cornell.
I mean, the list goes on with the coaches that
I've been around, general managers Jason Light, Scott Pioli. I
get to be around players. You know, I had the
best players. You know, I was around best defensive players,
offensive players. Um, you know, I've been covered by by
John Madden. You know, I've been at Super Bowl media days.
(31:27):
I just I've had so much experience and if I
can help people along the way, you know, by my
travels and by talking to coaches and talking to players,
you know, I've I loved the sport of football, and
I've you know, I get to be in it. So
I think that's what mostly I got excited about. And
I think part of retiring for a very brief period
of time was I got to explore a lot of
(31:49):
other opportunities, um and things that just came up. That
and this, and this is the one that I really
excited me the most, so um, you know, in the end,
although it was kind of abrupt, it ended up being
very I'm happy I went through it. How long would
it take you to find a Super Bowl ring in
(32:10):
the house. I just need a key to my safe
and I'm got I got it, And so I know
I know where they're at, although they don't come out
very often, but I do know where they're at, maybe
too far away. Hey, congrats, good to talk to you,
Thanks for sharing some time. Thanks Dan, take care of pal,
have a great summer. Tom Brady joining us on behalf
(32:31):
of hurts. Of course, TB twelve and we went twelve minutes.
We were supposed to go ten minutes. Energy. Yeah, see,
have a great summer. Pal see at the beach. If
you ever in Tampa, stop by. That was the implication.
Felt like that, Hey, Giselle, Tom said to stop by.
(32:57):
I think he said, I have a great summer. Stop
by security. Yeah. Tom said have a great summer. So
I thought that meant come, yeah, of course, how do
I have a great summer? When he was when he
was talking about coaches, he looked down, he had notes,
He's prepared, but he at first we he talks about
Belichick one of the greatest, the greatest coach of all time.
(33:20):
I thought that was a good catch because we know
if he said one of the greatest coaches of all time,
the Patriot fans would be out in full force, full throat.
Oh you're still disrespecting Belichick. But I do think what's interesting,
and this is what Drew Brees missed out on. When
you go from your life has been the last twenty
(33:42):
to twenty five years of playing football at a high
level college and the pros, and then you have these fans,
you have the excitement, you have the game, and you're
part of the game. When you retire and you go
to a studio, you're not part of the game. You
talk about the game. Tom is going to go from
(34:04):
playing whenever that ends to the back to the stadium,
and he will prepare as if he's preparing to play.
And I think that's why you saw Drew Brees saying
I don't want to do this, so I don't want
to do it in the studio, and I think he
looked around and went, I'd rather be out there. I
want to be at the event. I want to be
(34:25):
part of the event. And I think that's different. And
Tom understands that you can never replicate playing football, certainly
at a high level like that, But the closest you
can come is getting to the event to be part
of the event and then preparing for that event. He's
going to prepare for two defenses. He's going to be
(34:47):
the quarterback for both teams. You know, when you have
the guy in the backyard who's always the best quarterback,
you're like your quarterback for both teams. Tom is going
to be able to prepare that way. I think that'll
help He's into so cold retirement let's take a break.

(36:54):

Richard in La Hi, Richard, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?
I really appreciate the way. There was a book written
called The Art of the Interview a few days ago,
a few years ago, and it was on the best
seller list, and it was written by a friend of mine.
I was wondering if you had ever read that book
(37:16):
and if it ever guided you towards the way you
approach an interview or the way the questions that you asked.
I remember a man named John Swatsky, and he was
in Canada, and I had read an article on John Swatsky,
and it was about the art of the interview. And
I went to my boss at the time, John Walsh,
(37:38):
who created Sports Center. I said, let's bring him in
and have him teach us how to interview. And he
came in and spent a week he gave it was
five days, eight hours on interviewing, and all the people
that we thought were great interviewers, according to him, were
not because if you ask a close ended question, or
(38:00):
you ask answer and ask, that's bad interviewing techniques. Now
I still fall prey to that. I try to get
into the habit of letting somebody just talk. But that
was somebody who was very instrumental in helping the understand
how to ask a question, how to build up to
a question, how do you start an interview, how do
(38:20):
you end an interview? And there is a strategy to
this of trying to get you know, if you'll notice,
I started with baseball and I wanted to give him
something different because he's probably doing a lot of interviews
and I want to challenge him in a different way.
And then I talked about the Hurts part of this,
(38:41):
because I had to talk about the Hurts commercials that
he was doing. And then I hit him with when
was that moment you sat down with Gizelle? And you
could tell that I surprised him a little bit. But
I want an honest answer, and a shorter question brings
about I think, a more honest answer, but it works
(39:01):
for me. I do at my School of Sportscasting at
Full Sale University, we teach interviewing because you can use
it the rest of your life. Don't have to be
in sports. It could be if you run a company,
if you talk to clients, you're a salesperson, getting somebody
(39:22):
to talk, what are they going to tell you. It's
just something that you'll be able to use the rest
of your life. And it took me late in my
career to fully understand that. And there were a lot
of people I thought, boy, they're good interviewers, and then
John would show the examples and say, no, that's not
good interview because we would talk about Mike Wallace from
(39:43):
sixty minutes. If you're old enough to remember Mike Wallace.
Mike was not afraid of anybody, but I think he
was talking to the Ayatola Komeni and he said, didn't
you kill those people? And the Aetola, of course said no,
bad question. Why do people think you killed all of
those people? Why do you think? How would you respond
(40:07):
to the people who think you've killed all of those people?
Now he could just say no. I mean that's why
when you talk about interviewing people, I could interview Dennis Rodman,
who was a challenge, or I could interview Tiger, who's
a challenge for different reasons. Tiger doesn't want to share
anything with you. Dennis. You never know what you're getting,
(40:30):
Mike Tyson, I never know what I'm getting. But the
opportunity to interview is something that I'll miss when I'm
done with this. A couple more phone calls in here
Chris and Florida. Hi Chris, what's on your mind? Oh? Lah, Dan, Danets?
How are you guys doing great? Chris? Yeah? So, Dan,
(40:53):
I was thinking about your speed shoes idea and I
think it's brilliant. Um. Maybe you team up with accompanying
like rock Ports. And when I heard Paulli um open
up that dull crew walling the dull crow shoes. Yeah,
(41:17):
doll crow speed shoes where the women at like the wallmarker,
like the the women who go like the elderly women
that go to the malls. Yeah, and um red and yellow,
um stop in yield. Um. Well okay, Chris, we're we're
(41:45):
moving a little too slow. There, you got speed up
the process like the lights on His call would have
been like whatever the slowest lights. Yes, yes, he opens
up a whole other can of worms too, because the
speed shoes are your idea, as you very publicly said, yes, yes, well,
Paul's the velcro guy. Yes, Paul is the velcro guy.
I have an idea of shoes that actually change colors
(42:06):
the faster you run, And I could always use velcro
if I needed to, so you can put those in
the shoes. Yeah. I could talk to about velcro people,
but at this time we're not really in business for speeches.
I love the idea. I saw this article you're too
old to own a velcro wallet if you're going to
(42:27):
be twenty five. Usually it's teenagers and anybody under the
age of sixteen. I'm so far on the other side
of being okay having a velcro wallet. It's almost funny now.
Women said that they would never date a guy if
he had a velcro wallet, and started to wonder what
kind of people would have a velcro wallet and want
(42:48):
to pull it out to pay for anything. Paul, He's
all in. He's going wire to wire with his velcro wallet.

(00:43):
that we tape yesterday after the show. Tom had a
window where he was doing a select number of interviews
and we had him for ten minutes. We took it
to twelve minutes, and I think we touched on a
variety of topics. So Tom Brady joins us coming up

to iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio lineup as well. Whole
question from hour one are we going to continue in
an hour or two? Seaton? Dad, I put up one
that we haven't really even gotten into the topic yet. Okay,
(01:26):
but the question is which is the worst driver? Slow
in the passing lane or the tailgater? O. Seaton had
a moment today, an incident today. How would you describe
what happened? And when you were in route to work?
It was actually fairly a common experience for me, except
for one wrinkle, okay of it? All right? It turns
out I get the middle finger a lot when I'm
(01:48):
driving because I think I'm an aggressive driver. I could
admit that, although in this moment nothing really stood out
to me as being overly aggressive. There was a car
in the passing lane all the way over to the left,
an SUV, and they were going probably slower than they
should have. So I wasn't riding right up on them
at all, because I've definitely been worse about it, but
(02:09):
I was close enough to let them know, like, all right,
it's time to move over. So the rest of us
can get through, and after a little bit the person
didn't move over. So once I got the chance, I
just went around them and then passed them and kept
on going. And about a minute or two later, that
car sped up next to me like crazy fast, clearly
trying to get my attention, and the guy gave me
(02:30):
the middle finger, so, which is nothing new for me,
so I just gave him the middle finger back. But
what was different was then in the passenger seat what
looked like a like twelve year old boy with his
little shaggy hair leaned forward and he also gave me
the finger. So I looked at the kid, I pointed
at him, I gave the kid the middle finger, and
(02:51):
then I looked at the dad and pointed back to
the kid and sort of did like a mock clapping
motion and gave him a thumbs up, and then tinued
on with my day. That's great parenting, Yeah, I like, yeah,
all right, and then yeah, then I got to work,
and that's about it. Probably the same thing probably happened
on the way home. Do you think you could be
(03:12):
the problem. It's possible. There there's definitely been times that
I'm like, oh, I deserve the middle finger, There's no
doubt about it. I was being a real jerk. Not
in that moment though. I really it really didn't stand
out to me as like, well, I probably could have
been nice to that guy, like I waited, waited, waited, none,
All right, he's not going to move over. So then
I just went around him. Once the traffic opened up
and allowed me to do that, then I went around him.
(03:33):
Didn't you have the incident where the guy was upset
with you and he didn't flip you off, He just
was had his hand on the steering wheel and just
sort of lifted up his bird finger. Yea. He was driving,
and he had his he clearly had his family in
the car, because I'm guessing there was a woman sitting
next to him, and it was an SUV and there
was like soccer stickers and stuff, so you could tell
(03:53):
it was like a family roadster. Yeah, and uh yeah,
I kind of I went around the guy and got
in front of him, and when I looked in my
rearview mirror, he didn't take his hands off of the
steering wheel. He just extended one finger the hidden bird track,
the hidden bird like that. I'm surprised Seaton. I would
not have guessed Seaton to be a middle finger return
(04:14):
serve type person. But I love that he gave the
middle finger back to the kid. That's even better. Yeah, well,
I mean, hey the kid, all right, big guy, you
want to you're gonna throw him around. I like how
dad did it. And then this little whipper snapper just
leans forward. I didn't even know that he was there,
but then just from like behind the dad, you just
saw this little shaggy haired kid. Next U. Next up
(04:39):
for father and son will be going to a White
Sox game and then coming out of the stands and
beating up on a first base coach. Remember that father
and son who did that? Sure? Well, good times? Yes, Marv.
Do you think the father encouraged the son to give
the middle finger to Seaton. I'm gonna guess they've probably
been in a moment like this before. He probably didn't
(05:01):
discourage his son from dwell, yeah, I'm guessing he. I
mean he I know, he could have been ten, he
could have been thirteen. I don't I don't really know,
but he was around that age, right around right around
your son's my son's age. Yeah, would your son do that? No? No,
okay no, And he's seen me give people the middle
finger a million times and he's like that, Dad, you
(05:22):
can't do that, Dad, you can't do that. See, I
don't do it, just because if it does happen, ay
it's Dan Patrick flipped me off or somebody who doesn't know,
but he is gonna stop the car and then get
in my face, because that happened one time when I'm
driving home from the airport in New York and New
(05:43):
Yorkers had this way of let me go all the
way up and then just kind of butt in in
front of everybody in traffic. And there was this pickup
truck that was on my right and he wanted to
get in, and we were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic,
and he wanted to move in front of the line
and I wouldn't let him, and he got in front
(06:03):
of me and stopped his truck, and so it's bumper
to bumper. He stops and he gets out and he's
coming back to the car, and I'm with my daughter.
So they go Daddy's coming back. Daddy's coming back. He said,
keep the windows up, and all of a sudden there
was a little break in the traffic, and then I
went around the guy. So he's walking with all of
(06:26):
these cars on an expressway in New York, and I
could just see him as I'm navigating through traffic that
he was trying to navigate through traffic with his truck.
But I was able to elude him a high speed
a low speed chase. I was able to elude him
because it wasn't going to be pretty if he came
(06:47):
back to the door. I'm guessing somehow he would have
gotten the door open. Yeah, but I'm guaranteed what would
happen in this situation. Let's say you pulled over and
it is going to be like a scuffle or something.
The guy would have got out, slammed the door, walked him,
goes hey, Dan Patrick before Center, and the whole thing
would have been diffused immediately because you're famous. I guarantee it.
He would say, Oh, Dan Patrick Sports Center, I'm gonna
kick your ass. Yeah. See that's my wife is always like,
(07:13):
don't end up on YouTube, please, please don't go end
up on YouTube. The jury is still out on whether
or not Baker Mayfield was his success in Cleveland and
after the Deshaun Watson trade, I don't think we'll ever
get answers there. Baker did a lot for the franchisese
At times I thought he was a franchise quarterback, But
the Browns have decided to move on. Baker remains in limbo,
(07:36):
and it was reported yesterday that the Carolina Panthers have
shown an urgency to trade for him. Talks are still
going on. The Browns got Baker Mayfield at just under
nineteen million dollars. I don't know what Carolina would have
to give up trade for him. Cleveland doesn't want to
just release him and pay that money. But you know
(07:59):
the brown are gonna have to eat a majority of
Baker Mayfield's salary. The team might not have given themselves
much of a choice because of their decision to bring
into Shaun Watson. By the way, guess who the Browns
play in Week one of the regular season. You can't
script this any better, your Carolina Panthers. Let's go in
(08:24):
the words of Tom Brady. By the way, Carolina Panthers
odds to win the Super Bowl plus thirteen hundred thirteen thousand,
thirteen thousand the over under for the Carolina Panthers. Who
wants to take a gas Todd over under Carolina Panthers
right now according to DraftKings, sixteen thousand, No, no wins. Oh,
(08:47):
how many wins they're gonna win? Six games? All right? Seaton?
Four games, four game marv five and a half, five
damn five five winds at a tie. That's all right, PAULI.
I think the Vegas over under will be six and
a half. It's six, ding ding ding. Todd has done
(09:10):
it again. You didn't even understand the question six. Oh,
we'll get some phone calls here. Deshaun Watson met with
the media yesterday. I was surprised almost all of his
answers started with some form of I didn't understand that
I respect that question at this time. Answered honestly, respect
(09:32):
the process, legal question. I can't get into details about
never assaulted, never threatened, never disrespected anyone. I thought that
he had a calm demeanor about this. UM. Felt like
the answers were measured. Probably were. He took a lot
of questions here, um he Here's one that starts with
(09:56):
the reporters question on why should have or we believe
you in these cases if they go before a jury.
Why should a jury that might you're these cases believe
you over dozens of women. I understand that question and
I definitely respect it, but I feel like that this
environment come up with football field. It's hard to answer
(10:17):
that question, but I especially without talking to anybody on
my legal team. But at the same time, you know,
I've been honest and I've been truthful about my stance,
and as you know, I've never four seen anyone. I've
never assaulted you. Okay, now you just came off the
football field, and it's tough to answer this. It's tough
to answer why a jury should believe you. That should
(10:40):
be that's an easy question because I'm innocent and I
never did anything wrong. Like what are you doing? I
would just want to know. I think somebody asked this,
that are you saying that those twenty four now it's
going to be twenty six women, they're all lying now.
Here was another question that was asked and some people
(11:03):
had a problem with it. Why don't you countersue these women?
If you're going to your reputation is going to be
tainted the rest of your life. You're always going to
be known as in some circles, that guy who did this.
Whether you're found innocent or not. Will you countersue? And
he shook that off, But I think it's a fair question.
(11:26):
You know, they have not ruined your reputation, but they've
come pretty close here if they're Look, if you're completely innocent. Now, granted,
Lance Armstrong did this throughout all of that drama. He
attacked the attackers. Now turns out that Lance was lying.
But it did work. It did work for a decade.
(11:48):
But with Deshaun Watson, why not why not just say, look,
I want to get my reputation back. Now, he might say,
once I'm proven innocent, I'll get my reputation back. Yes, Ton,
whether you decide to counter sue or not. The fact
that you're so calm and cool, and maybe he's just
playing it that way, wouldn't you be very angry if
someone is destroying your reputation accusing you of something you
(12:09):
didn't do. I would be more likely to be really angry.
I know we've seen in the past people fake being
angry and it turns out that they were lying all
the time. But I don't know how it could be
so calm and cool when someone's accusing of such horrible things. Well,
we've seen Lance Armstrong be angry it feels like sometimes
the angry or you get, the more suspicious I am
(12:31):
of you and those charges. Deshaun Watson seemed very measured,
very calm. I was surprised that he was in front
of the media. Now that might be the Cleveland Brown saying,
if you're innocent, or we believe you're innocent, then you
have nothing to hide. You don't have any lawyer with you,
and you can answer these questions the best you can,
and those you can't, then you just say, you know,
(12:53):
that's ongoing legal process. I don't know if it was
a bad day for him. You know, he was trying
to buy some time when they asked the question where
he's like, uh, you know, I respect that question, and
then stalling, stalling, stalling, I just came off football field
and stalling, stalling, stalling, and then you don't really answer it.
(13:17):
That should have been one of those because I'm innocent,
that's it. And he kept saying he answered everything truthfully.
Well he's already lied or misled because they said, well,
maybe it's around forty it's sixty six massages, so you
kind of missed out on a few there. Are you
(13:39):
being honest? Are you being honest in accordance to what
your lawyer wants you to be. Yeah, Martha, do you
think the Browns are thinking, hey, let's just get through
this year and let's get through this first initial suspension
and then we can go on with the rest of
his contract. Or Yeah, all you want to do is Okay,
what's the punishment? If he's winning games for you, then
(14:00):
it's up to Cleveland fans to go. Is that still
my team? Do you care? Are you going to have
a jersey? You know, it's that fan base because everybody
outside of Cleveland, they're gonna look at this differently. It's
not like, hey, he's helping my football team win and
he is an upgrade over Baker Mayfield. But at some
(14:20):
point you have to come to that crossroad. I think
if you're a Browns fan and say, can I root
for this guy? I'm a Browns fan. Can I root
for that guy? And when he starts winning for you,
does then maybe that level of he's my guy increase.
(14:41):
I have no idea. When you win, we ignore an
awful lot. Yeah, Marph. If Deshaun Watson leads the Browns
to the Super Bowl, he will trump Lebron James because
it's a Brownstown right, Yeah, Now, how will people feel
about like Deshaun Watson being that guy that leads the Browns. Oh,
I don't even want to get close to that because
I don't even know if he's going to play this year.
(15:03):
Like I want to see once he's able to play
started season and to be fair to this situation because
that's a hypothetical Lebron did it, but it is a
Browns town. Yeah, Paul, I'm most curious. Let's say he
gets hypothetically a six or eight game suspension. I think
that's what everyone thinks. It's it's some level that is
his legal team in the NFLPA going to fight this,
(15:24):
completely fight it. Because if I'm an athlete who says
I'm completely innocent, there's nothing, he's submitted to nothing, He's
not even asking for anything. Why would you accept at
a suspension? Why would you let the NFLPA accept a
suspension in your behalf? You're gonna fight this everywhere, you know,
get an injunction if he's truly innocent. I think that's
what his legal team is going to do or try
(15:45):
to do. Well. Who knows with Rusty Harden, who's his lawyer.
That's a wild card there, and he might want to,
you know, say all right, we're gonna go after the NFL.
You know, I want to be out there. I want
to be out there in front of the spotlight, and
I'm Usty Harden and I'm going after the NFL, just
like you know he paraded Roger Clemens around Congress. How
(16:08):
did that workout? Yes? But if you're Deshaun Watson, how
much longer do you want to keep this in the news?
I know, well you could have. You could have two
different schools of thought there that Deshaun's like, I just
want to play football and I just kind of want
to be a quarterback. Here, Rusty Harden may go no, no, no,
I'm gonna You're my trojan horse, so I'm gonna ride in.
I'm taking on the NFL. Yes time. And if you're
(16:29):
all in on your innocence, you almost have to do
that making a deal in the public eye. To me,
at least, some will be like, oh, it's more than
just I just want this to go away. I want
to talk about anymore. He must have done something and
he's agreeing to this punishment. Well. Also, you know, there
was the report that if he was going to be
traded to the Dolphins. The Dolphins said, you got to
settle these cases, and he tried to reportedly settle all
(16:50):
of them except for two. Wouldn't settle. Well, if you're
trying to settle, feels like there's some culpability there. You know.
My thing would be, why am I settling? I'm I'm
I'm innocent. Feels like it's uh, well it could be
a little guilty. But maybe this will go away. You know, see,
(17:11):
is public opinion on this still up in the air,
and it seems like people, for the most part, have
an idea of what they believe went on here and
I don't know that. So okay, go ahead and fight
the suspension and then say he goes it's zero games
now and he wins. Are you all of a sudden
gonna be like, huh it turns out he was innocent
all along? How about that? Well, it's not. But he's
(17:33):
either innocent or he's pathological. It's not. There's nothing in between. Yeah,
But fighting and a suspension from the NFL doesn't do
anything to change that. It does. It's not going to
change public opinion at all. No one. Maybe it's gonna
look at him fighting the NFL and be like, you
know what, I think I believe him now. But the
two grand juries helped out his case definitely. But that's
(17:53):
me that there's That doesn't mean that he didn't do anything.
That just means there's not enough evidence to show that
he did anything. Well, there's no criminal charges. Right, Let's

Tom Brady's partnership with Hurts continues this spraying a series
of engaging ads, social content and this time around Hurts
and time or getting customers to there. Let's Go moments
(20:04):
featuring alongside Tom and the ads, the new Hurts exclusive
Shelby Mustang's the newest addition to Hurts Evie Rental Fleet.
We spoke to Tom yesterday, spend some time. We were
allowed ten minutes. We went a little bit longer, and
I started with the question if you would have stuck
with baseball. He was drafted by the Montreal expos If
(20:26):
he had stuck with baseball instead of football, where would
you be today? I'd be selling insurance. Baseball was not
my sport. I loved it, but I was much I
turned out to be. Obviously, football was the one I
chose for a reason. Although I did love baseball. It
was a great sport growing especially in California growing up
Barry Bonds went from my high school, Greg Jeffries. It
(20:51):
was a great baseball school. So that was my first
first love, and then football. Obviously, once I started playing
football was game over. Okay, but what's the scouting report
on Tom Brady? Baseball player A lot like football? You know,
probably not that powerful, uh, you know, pretty smart game manager,
(21:16):
not very fast on the first baseline, probably best at
catcher where he doesn't have to move that much but
likes to direct other people around. So I think probably
wouldn't be much different. I think you've come full circle
from the picture at the combine to now you and
your underwear selling Tom Brady underwear. It all worked out, Yeah, yeah,
(21:37):
somehow worked out. I know a lot of a lot
of time in the last twenty three years to get
a little bit better shape. So I was a college kid,
I was coming out of college. Oh my god, that
probably wasn't my finest moment. But I always joke about
that picture, like, no one else has a picture like that.
Where's Peyton manager? He didn't look great in those in
those great shorts. You so, but I just somehow I'll
(21:57):
never see a picture of that. What would you pay
to have that picture trying to combine and you remove
it from civilization? Oh? Man, you know what. I wouldn't
pay anything, but I would just, uh, it's it's serves
as a great reminder where I've come from. So at
this part, at this point, I would say it's pretty
(22:20):
cool with it. It's I look back and I think
I remember that day. I remember rooming with Mark Boulger
in Indianapolis hotel room and laughing, you know, about where
we were at and couldn't imagine that we were both
in this position we were in, and that, you know,
Brady Boulger wasn't the greatest quarterback class Chris Redman and
(22:43):
Chad Pennington. So we'll come a long way since then.
But Mark actually had a great career. Tim Ritey, a
lot of these guys that just I don't run into
that much anymore. But we had a good we had
a great time. I love that you remember all the
quarterbacks that we're taking ahead of you though a few
that were taken after two T Martin, Geo Kermozzi. I
(23:05):
remember all them. But that that was really important to
me at the time. I mean, it was my whole life.
I was. That was the beginning of the internet where
they were doing mock drafts, you know, and you went
on these these sights and you saw, you know, where
this person thought you were going to drafted, where this
person thought you'd get drafted. So it was it was
a lot going into that, you know, that year, and
(23:29):
it seems like it went so fast, literally I blinked
my eye. I'm like here I am. I'm like, Holy
where did the time go? And you know, I can't
believe that, you know, I played this long. It's hard
to imagine. I know you're representing Hurts. If I said
you could have three teammates get in the rental car
with you and you're going to start a new team,
(23:53):
any three all time? Who who's in the back seat
or maybe one's in the front seat with you? Guys
I played with the guys that I played against. I'll
let you pick three guys. He's gonna start a football team.
I would say that's there's more than three. So I
(24:14):
think that there's a there's reasons why all of them
would be there and not for the reasons that people
may see. Um, and I don't think just three would
be would be would be right? There would probably be ten. Um.
Do Hurts have an suv that we can put ten
guys in? They must have a fifteen seater. Okay, you
(24:35):
gotta get like a fifteen seater like the kind that
my neighbors had when you know they had nine kids
next door and they had the minivan or the large van.
Um Rodney Harrison was great, Um, Wes Welker was great,
Brandy moss Um. I mean, there's too many in the name,
(24:58):
ty law Um, Kevin Falk, Julian Edelman, Gronk. I'm naming
all the offention. I noticed that too. Well, you got
Tie and Rodney in there, so try and romy Um.
I mean they're all everyone's everyone's different for different reasons.
I think about all our great teams everyone. Some years
(25:20):
our defense was a little bit better on offense. So
when I think about those years, it's like Richard Seymour,
I mean, he's unbelievable, Vince Wilfork, I'm junior, say ow
M Sante Samuel, and then you know, other years our
offense was totally dynamic, like oh seven, when you're thinking
about more, Wes and Randy, Kevin Falk, So, Matt Light
and everyone was so good. They're all great. I mean,
(25:41):
for God's sakes, they're in the NFL. They're one of
the greatest, you know, in the world. So you know,
I almost said tough to choose. I almost said this
to you on the podium when you guys beat Seattle,
and it probably wasn't going to be fair to you,
but I almost said to you do you think you
should give the keys to Malcolm Butler? Yeah, to that
that truck. When did you decide that you were going
(26:04):
to do that? You know, I will say that that
was one of the greatest defensive plays in the history
of the NFL. Malcolm Butler had that ability to make
that play. There are very very few cornerbacks in the
NFL that have the twitchiness and the reaction to get
to that football. And as much as people will say, oh,
(26:26):
you should have handled the ball off, we put a
defense in that day that didn't allow you to handle
the ball off. You know. They you know, there's kind
of a clip on our sideline where they call like
goal line three corners. Malcolm ran in. We forced them
to throw the ball, and you know they could have
given it to Marshawn obviously, I would say that, you know,
(26:48):
the coverage was an all out blitz and the ball
had to come out quick, and Malcolm made the play.
So I do think that was one of the great
plays in NFL history that Malcolm, you know, for as
great for I would say, as much reaction to oh
they should have handed the ball off, I wish there
was the same reaction that was can you believe how
incredible of a play that was that Malcolm made. In fact,
(27:10):
that's why I gave Malcolm the car, because Malcolm deserved
the car, and you know, I think he still got it.
How involved were you with the concept of these commercials
with Hurts? Pretty involved, you know, I you know, I
absolutely saw them from kind of inception. There were a
lot of fun you know. I think that part of
(27:31):
them were just trying to show we're also, you know,
deadly serious with everything we talk about these days, you know,
trying to have fun with different things. I mean, we
all could laugh a little bit more so. I love
the fact that, even with social media at least, how
what I try to do is just lighten people's mood
a little bit, have a little fun with the day,
you know, and not take things too seriously. And I
(27:51):
think these Hurts ads all reflect kind of a little
bit of that. So I've had two production days with them.
We got another one coming up, but they've been really
fun to work with. Um. You know, the group of
the leadership group it Hurts has done a great job.
It's it's really a great brand, and they're doing great
things with their business and transitioning most of their fleet
to evs electric vehicles with I think they had put
(28:15):
in the largest Tesla order in the world or something.
So part of Elon getting too a trillion dollar wealth
or something's going to be this. This hurts order, So
good for him. Give me the day, the moment when
you say to Giselle, I'm going back. Uh. You know,
we had quite a bit of time together, and I
(28:37):
think mostly when I kind of told the team, look like,
you know, you guys got to make plans without me,
you know, And then you know, Jason and Bruce said
just give it time, you know, and I said, look,
I feel pretty strongly, you know, And and then you know,
time went by, and then you just get super competitive,
you know. And I think I'm part of crazy. I mean,
(28:58):
I think that's the reality. Forty five years old and
I'm out here with a lot of young guys that
are trying to take my head off. And I see
Aaron Donald work out on my Instagram. I'm like, damn,
maybe I should have retired, you know, because he's a beast.
But you know, I had the appetite to compete, and
(29:19):
it's going to be gone soon. I mean, there's no
doubt about it, and I gotta, you know, just really
appreciate what the time I have left because it's not
a lot. But I wondered the transition, and you know,
Drew Brees went through this like you get done, and
then he went into the studio, and that's too abrupt,
Like that's that's that's that's a different reality. You're going
(29:39):
from playing to preparing for a game in a different way.
While you're at the site, you're going to feel that energy.
I mean, that's as close as you're going to get
to playing it again. It feels like or I don't
know if that factored in with you wanting to be
game site as opposed to studio. Yeah, and I think
that's what I've because I'm most familiar you're with that
(30:01):
just based on the fact that I've look, I've been
in every production meeting for twenty two years, you know,
since when I started playing in two thousand and one.
I know what those guys are asking, I know what
they're asked to do, and I think it feels very
much like a team that goes on the road to
prepare for a game. So there's a lot of learning curve.
(30:22):
I mean, obviously it'll be a totally new career. It's
a new opportunity for me to try something that I'm
going to work really hard to prepare to be as
good as I possibly can be, knowing that the day
that I walk on the set for the first time
won't be my finest moment. There'll be you know, a
lot of growing pains, and I'll have to learn to
be really good at it. But I also think there's
(30:43):
part of it that excites me is I get to
travel and be around football and be around people that
you know, I've been around great mentors in my football career,
you know, being blessed to get drafted by the Patriots,
I was around one of the great owners in the
history of the end fell on mister Craft, one of
the great the greatest head coach in NFL history, and uh,
(31:06):
you know in coach Belichick, Josh McDaniels, Charlie Wise, Romeo Cornell.
I mean, the list goes on with the coaches that
I've been around, general managers Jason Light, Scott Pioli. I
get to be around players. You know, I had the
best players. You know, I was around best defensive players,
offensive players. Um, you know, I've been covered by by
John Madden. You know, I've been at Super Bowl media days.
(31:27):
I just I've had so much experience and if I
can help people along the way, you know, by my
travels and by talking to coaches and talking to players,
you know, I've I loved the sport of football, and
I've you know, I get to be in it. So
I think that's what mostly I got excited about. And
I think part of retiring for a very brief period
of time was I got to explore a lot of
(31:49):
other opportunities, um and things that just came up. That
and this, and this is the one that I really
excited me the most, so um, you know, in the end,
although it was kind of abrupt, it ended up being
very I'm happy I went through it. How long would
it take you to find a Super Bowl ring in
(32:10):
the house. I just need a key to my safe
and I'm got I got it, And so I know
I know where they're at, although they don't come out
very often, but I do know where they're at, maybe
too far away. Hey, congrats, good to talk to you,
Thanks for sharing some time. Thanks Dan, take care of pal,
have a great summer. Tom Brady joining us on behalf
(32:31):
of hurts. Of course, TB twelve and we went twelve minutes.
We were supposed to go ten minutes. Energy. Yeah, see,
have a great summer. Pal see at the beach. If
you ever in Tampa, stop by. That was the implication.
Felt like that, Hey, Giselle, Tom said to stop by.
(32:57):
I think he said, I have a great summer. Stop
by security. Yeah. Tom said have a great summer. So
I thought that meant come, yeah, of course, how do
I have a great summer? When he was when he
was talking about coaches, he looked down, he had notes,
He's prepared, but he at first we he talks about
Belichick one of the greatest, the greatest coach of all time.
(33:20):
I thought that was a good catch because we know
if he said one of the greatest coaches of all time,
the Patriot fans would be out in full force, full throat.
Oh you're still disrespecting Belichick. But I do think what's interesting,
and this is what Drew Brees missed out on. When
you go from your life has been the last twenty
(33:42):
to twenty five years of playing football at a high
level college and the pros, and then you have these fans,
you have the excitement, you have the game, and you're
part of the game. When you retire and you go
to a studio, you're not part of the game. You
talk about the game. Tom is going to go from
(34:04):
playing whenever that ends to the back to the stadium,
and he will prepare as if he's preparing to play.
And I think that's why you saw Drew Brees saying
I don't want to do this, so I don't want
to do it in the studio, and I think he
looked around and went, I'd rather be out there. I
want to be at the event. I want to be
(34:25):
part of the event. And I think that's different. And
Tom understands that you can never replicate playing football, certainly
at a high level like that, But the closest you
can come is getting to the event to be part
of the event and then preparing for that event. He's
going to prepare for two defenses. He's going to be
(34:47):
the quarterback for both teams. You know, when you have
the guy in the backyard who's always the best quarterback,
you're like your quarterback for both teams. Tom is going
to be able to prepare that way. I think that'll
help He's into so cold retirement let's take a break.

Richard in La Hi, Richard, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?
I really appreciate the way. There was a book written
called The Art of the Interview a few days ago,
a few years ago, and it was on the best
seller list, and it was written by a friend of mine.
I was wondering if you had ever read that book
(37:16):
and if it ever guided you towards the way you
approach an interview or the way the questions that you asked.
I remember a man named John Swatsky, and he was
in Canada, and I had read an article on John Swatsky,
and it was about the art of the interview. And
I went to my boss at the time, John Walsh,
(37:38):
who created Sports Center. I said, let's bring him in
and have him teach us how to interview. And he
came in and spent a week he gave it was
five days, eight hours on interviewing, and all the people
that we thought were great interviewers, according to him, were
not because if you ask a close ended question, or
(38:00):
you ask answer and ask, that's bad interviewing techniques. Now
I still fall prey to that. I try to get
into the habit of letting somebody just talk. But that
was somebody who was very instrumental in helping the understand
how to ask a question, how to build up to
a question, how do you start an interview, how do
(38:20):
you end an interview? And there is a strategy to
this of trying to get you know, if you'll notice,
I started with baseball and I wanted to give him
something different because he's probably doing a lot of interviews
and I want to challenge him in a different way.
And then I talked about the Hurts part of this,
(38:41):
because I had to talk about the Hurts commercials that
he was doing. And then I hit him with when
was that moment you sat down with Gizelle? And you
could tell that I surprised him a little bit. But
I want an honest answer, and a shorter question brings
about I think, a more honest answer, but it works
(39:01):
for me. I do at my School of Sportscasting at
Full Sale University, we teach interviewing because you can use
it the rest of your life. Don't have to be
in sports. It could be if you run a company,
if you talk to clients, you're a salesperson, getting somebody
(39:22):
to talk, what are they going to tell you. It's
just something that you'll be able to use the rest
of your life. And it took me late in my
career to fully understand that. And there were a lot
of people I thought, boy, they're good interviewers, and then
John would show the examples and say, no, that's not
good interview because we would talk about Mike Wallace from
(39:43):
sixty minutes. If you're old enough to remember Mike Wallace.
Mike was not afraid of anybody, but I think he
was talking to the Ayatola Komeni and he said, didn't
you kill those people? And the Aetola, of course said no,
bad question. Why do people think you killed all of
those people? Why do you think? How would you respond
(40:07):
to the people who think you've killed all of those people?
Now he could just say no. I mean that's why
when you talk about interviewing people, I could interview Dennis Rodman,
who was a challenge, or I could interview Tiger, who's
a challenge for different reasons. Tiger doesn't want to share
anything with you. Dennis. You never know what you're getting,
(40:30):
Mike Tyson, I never know what I'm getting. But the
opportunity to interview is something that I'll miss when I'm
done with this. A couple more phone calls in here
Chris and Florida. Hi Chris, what's on your mind? Oh? Lah, Dan, Danets?
How are you guys doing great? Chris? Yeah? So, Dan,
(40:53):
I was thinking about your speed shoes idea and I
think it's brilliant. Um. Maybe you team up with accompanying
like rock Ports. And when I heard Paulli um open
up that dull crew walling the dull crow shoes. Yeah,
(41:17):
doll crow speed shoes where the women at like the wallmarker,
like the the women who go like the elderly women
that go to the malls. Yeah, and um red and yellow,
um stop in yield. Um. Well okay, Chris, we're we're
(41:45):
moving a little too slow. There, you got speed up
the process like the lights on His call would have
been like whatever the slowest lights. Yes, yes, he opens
up a whole other can of worms too, because the
speed shoes are your idea, as you very publicly said, yes, yes, well,
Paul's the velcro guy. Yes, Paul is the velcro guy.
I have an idea of shoes that actually change colors
(42:06):
the faster you run, And I could always use velcro
if I needed to, so you can put those in
the shoes. Yeah. I could talk to about velcro people,
but at this time we're not really in business for speeches.
I love the idea. I saw this article you're too
old to own a velcro wallet if you're going to
(42:27):
be twenty five. Usually it's teenagers and anybody under the
age of sixteen. I'm so far on the other side
of being okay having a velcro wallet. It's almost funny now.
Women said that they would never date a guy if
he had a velcro wallet, and started to wonder what
kind of people would have a velcro wallet and want
(42:48):
to pull it out to pay for anything. Paul, He's
all in. He's going wire to wire with his velcro wallet.
