Speaker 4 (01:08):
I wanted to tuck around and find out.

Okay, so they're tight end, Yeah, Tucker Clucker Craft, Yeah, well,
let's see how the shuck around and find out T
shirt does with New Orleans. We'll have it up there
until New Orleans loses again, so it might not be

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yes, Paul, Dan and Seaton, this is a question more
from America than me.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
If Joe Flacco shakes off the injury and beats the
Bears this weekend, do we bring it back?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
What's the policy there?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, it's a one time only. Oh yeah, yeah, one
time only. You got to get them all.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
They're hunt people asking for a thicker than a Snicker's
T shirt?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now, well, okay, uh, Dion gave us that thicker than
a Snicker.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
I think there's a song called thicker than a Snickers too.
I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Marvin's that sound right?
Speaker 8 (01:57):
I don't know if he's true, but it sounds right.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Okay, sounds like a jam.
Speaker 8 (02:02):
I don't know if it's a song or not, but
it sounds like a jam.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Was it like ciscod?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Do you know?
Speaker 9 (02:11):
I think it's a country song? I love is thicker
than a Snicker? That's not it?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Thank you, Choan.
Speaker 9 (02:17):
Uh, we'll come up with a that's a Randy Travis song.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
According to justin abbas Raar. I don't know who that is.
I'm not familiar with that person's work.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
She's thicker than a snicker. Why you look so bitter?
She's not a gold digger. She gets money bigger. She's
thicker than a snicker. Why you look so bigger bitter?
You should reconsider.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
You're spitting lyrics?
Speaker 9 (02:42):
Yeah, I am rhyming issues there.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
This is the right time for me on Twitter. Catch
her the vibe at urban outfitters making large figures because
of her figure.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Okay, nothing is more hardcore wrapped than rhyming with urban outfitter.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And she's a thick chick uh expletive expletive.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
She's bad bathroom beyond like.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Click something thick. She the words thick, chick flick A
lot of you see the rhyming pattern.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah I do, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah AnyWho uh so, uh yeah, we could do thicker
than a snicker if you wanted to.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Dion gave that to us.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The World Series odds or Blue Jays or minus two
forty They were plus one sixty yesterday, the Dodgers plus
two hundred. They were minus one ninety five yesterday. World
Series MVP odds Vlad Guerrero minus two oh five show,
Hey plus two thirty. I would probably put some money
down on Yamamoto, who is going to go in game six.
(03:50):
If he throws another complete game and sends it to
a game seven and maybe wins it three to one,
doesn't get the offensive support, but you know, wins the game,
maybe he could be your MVP of the Dodgers. Would
happen to win if the Blue Jays win, it feels
like it's Vlad Guerrero Junior, And rightfully so. He has
(04:10):
been unbelievable, and I think we've gotten to the point.
If you're the Dodger pitching staff, I would be very careful.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I wouldn't be pitching to him.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And sometimes you see these pitches and you go, how
could you throw that pitch?
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Former pitcher who listens to the show wrote, remain nameless.
He'd be like, you make it seem like we know
where the ball's going all the time. I said, but
you can't make a mistake like that to that guy.
You can't make that mistake. You can make mistakes or
you can go, man, that's unbelievably. He hit that ball
out of the park. It can't be I'm not surprised
(04:48):
that he hit the ball out of the ballpark. That
was my point to him, and we got.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Back and forth.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
He goes, oh, yeah, you've thrown off the mound when
you throw out a first pitch.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I go, I used to deal in high school.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Man, don't be telling me that I don't pitch from
the front of the mound when I throw out the
first pitch. But you can't make that mistake that bad.
These are professionals. Your job is to not throw it
right down the middle of the plate. There's no picture.
Who goes, Yep, I'm gonna throw it right down the
middle of the plate. You're always high, low in out,
(05:22):
brushing back a little to something. But blake snow when
you throw that pitch, and it's like you deserve that.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Pauline Smaltz was actually talking about that last night. He says,
Pitcher's throwing above ninety five. They're yielding control because of that.
I think it's Henriquez, the reliever for the Dodgers. He
throws hundred all the time, and it was all over
the place last night because he says, you're holding it
so tight to throw a hundred, you're giving up a
little bit of control on those pitches.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, Todd.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
I feel like to us it looks like an ego thing.
Why are you challenging him, Why you're gonna let him
beat you.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
But as you.
Speaker 10 (05:56):
Were just saying that, that's a mistake, that's not where
they intended the pitch to go. And you know, to
try to throw it one hundred miles an hour from
where you're throwing it from.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
The little millimeter of a difference is a difference than
to strike got in a home run.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But some of these pitches are right over the plate
and they're going to hit anything. They can hit speed,
they can hit one hundred miles an hour. They have
a hard time when it's moving, when it's down, where
it's inside, it's outside, it's up, you know all of
those things. But if you throw it right down the
middle of the plate, these guys, everybody's going up there
(06:29):
to try to hit it out of the park. And
you deserve it, Blake Snell, deserve that because those are pitches.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Those are meatballs.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
As we like to say, Uh, Tray, you savage, you
know you send him out there. Sometimes what you don't
know can make you better. Like you're in the Miners
four months ago, and now you're pitching a pivotal Game
five in the World Series, and you had one of
the most impressive performances that we've ever seen. I mean,
(06:57):
he struck out twelve. I don't think you walk to anybody.
And when you get guys to swing and miss like
that says a lot about your stuff, because you can
get guys who take pitches and you're like, Okay, that
was a good pitch. I get to I think I'm
gonna hit you. So he has thirty nine strikeouts in
the postseason. That breaks the record for a rookie set
(07:18):
by the Cardinals Michael Waka. That was in twenty thirteen.
He struck out eleven. In Game two the Alds against
the Yankees, he had twenty three whiffs, so swings and misses.
That's the most in the World Series game since they
started tracking that a No.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Nine.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's when you got great stuff. And I remember Tim
Linsekem it was Game five of the twenty ten World Series.
He had one of those games where twenty one whiffs.
Justin Berlander had one of those in twenty nineteen Game five.
But that's when you're striking out twelve over seven innings,
three hits, strikeouts, a record for a rookie in the
(08:02):
World Series, breaking the old mark of Don Newcomb in
nineteen forty nine. Eleven eleven.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
I love that number.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Thank you, Chyle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's why you should love the show Stranger Things because
her name's eleven Millie Bobby Brown, and I like Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Eleven. Jalen Brunson. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
By the way, I was watching The Inside the NBA
with Shaq and Kenny Charles Ernie and Shaq had an
afro on last night. I guess he was making fun
of Jalen Brown because I tuned in and I just
saw the afro.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
They probably mentioned it before.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
He should have painted his head the top of his
head like Jalen Brown is done. But then Jalen Brown,
I guess he decided he was going to shave his head,
like he's got a good looking head. Who cares if
you're bald? Yeah, exactly, Thank you Todd. You haven't shaved
your head.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
I have not, but I've been told many times at
it's time to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You don't have to, you know, I don't know what's.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
Just like a San Diego Padres mascot.
Speaker 11 (09:14):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That, that is true. The monk.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You're being told you have to shave your head.
Speaker 10 (09:20):
Well, I think Barkley said, like years ago, tell if
Britzy you should come on home and get rid of
me bald.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Remember he said that, Yeah, he used to keep your
hair long, even though it's in the same shape that
it is now.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
But it feels it feels pretty shaven right now.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Besides, definitely you're keeping it pretty close.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So sometimes you'll see those guys who have really long
hair but nothing on top, but they they'll wear a
baseball hat and it comes out the back, or they
got a little ponytail there.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Not hot, no, not a good look.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But it's tough, you know, because I remember my wife
we were talking to one of our friends was going bald,
and she was like, why is it such a big
deal to guys?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
He said, it's a huge deal to guys.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, losing your hair when you have a good head
of hair, and all of a sudden you realize, I'm
going to hold onto this for dear life.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Then what do you do you get it to pay?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Do you do some of those whatever those drugs that
you can take that's going to grow it, dig transplants
in there.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Thank god, I don't have to worry about it, Yes, Pauli.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And if it's after forty, it's kind of assumed or
it could be hereditary. But I knew a guy in
college who was losing his hair at twenty one.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I mean it was going bad fast.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
He looked about thirty six years old as a senior
in college, and that's not fair to anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I work with somebody at the Mothership who wasn't on
the air, and he was going gray at like twenty six,
and I remember him saying, you think I should diet?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I go no, no, no, women all love that.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Losing weight's not going to help you anyway. Diet I
got it.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Die die die it. Yeah. Maybe he was saying, you know,
go on a diet.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You are a little Choby, the executive producer for Sandler.
One time I was doing the six o'clock Sports Center
and I was dyeing my hair, culling my hair, and
he texted me during the show and he said he
just put d y E. That was it, Jack Garraputo.
(11:25):
Probably not a compliment, No, it was it, because you know,
if you're trying to do it with these new TVs,
as good as they are, you can't hide anything.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That's a fellow that scared of sharing an opinion too.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Jack's a jerk.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Jackj'll he'll tell you things you don't want to hear.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yes, but he's he's been with Sandman all those movies
for decades. Yeah, he would tell you. He would tell
you he was you know, I would say, hey, how
is my performance? He goes, it's okay, it's just okay,
you're not an actor, and I go, okay, oh yeah, see.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
He is the guy.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
When we were shooting, that's my boy, and he said,
if you see me, that means things are going very poorly.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And we're like, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
No problem.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So he was and he was being nice.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
He was trying to like be like, hey, hype us up,
but look, if you see me, then things are going
very very bad. And we did exactly one take that
lasted about twenty seconds and he came flying out.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
From one thing that was not fun.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He just said, Fritzy, you're terrible.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
All I how to do was point the camera the
direction where the action was, and somehow I had it
on some.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Kind of slant.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, you you you weren't even focusing on what you
were He said, hey, focus the camera on you know,
Susan Sarandon and Sandman.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
And I think I got caught up in the moment
when he goes accially, I'm like, I think that's Rachel
dretchback there, and I'm.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Like, that's not what you're supposed to be looking at.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
You got to look forward.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
Yeah, pretend you're an actual camera person.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So that's the first scene that we have in the prison,
first scene or first time we're doing it, first take,
and all of a sudden, I see Jack Garaputo run
out from you know, so my side, my peripheral vision,
I go, oh no, And I didn't know what we
did wrong. And all of a sudden he yells at Fritzy.
Now everybody's there. So you got Sandman, Andy Samberg, you
(13:08):
got Susan Sarandon.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
They're all there, like these are real actors.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I was going to attention line line. I just need
a line line and then we have line. He gave
Todd one thing to do. That was it point the
camera at where the action is.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
Seems fairly simple.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yes, And you got yelled at.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
Found a way to make extremely complicated.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yes, yes, oh my god, what an experience.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
Though, Oh take it from the top, maybe Fritzi a
point the camera the right direction.
Speaker 9 (13:36):
This stuf. Okay, let's not make it a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
There are moments though, where you go are we fooling anybody?
Does Andy Samberg know because he even said, He goes, hey,
you're good at this, and I go, well thanks. He goes, no,
I'm surprised, I said, you have every right to be surprised.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
So we're extras in this movie and we're not supposed
to do much. We're not supposed to talk or interact
because we got to be low key. But in between
one of the shots, I'm sitting there a seating and
at any a sailor stand there and there's a lot
of downtime and he just turns through us.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He goes, what do you think of the Knicks this year?
They're gonna be any good? He's just chit chatting to
fill time, and we're being civil. We're just like, yeah, well.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
They're a pretty good team. And Susan Sarandon, the actress,
is looking at us like, why are the two extras
talking to the star.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
She had no idea who I was less than none,
no idea.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
What was going on.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And there was this awkward moment where she's on the
other side of the glass. So we're in a prison
and Sandman was going to be talking to her through
the glass, and I just remember it was me and
Susan Sarandon and nobody else, and there was silence. I
didn't know what to say, and she certainly had nothing
(14:47):
to say to me.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Yes, see, I have never seen anyone better at avoiding
eye contact than Susan Sarandon with dozens of people, than
Susan Sarandon, because she.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You know, oh she is someone that when she is
in a room, you.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Notice her, Yes you do.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
She was spectacular.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
And I was definitely staring at her, for sure, and
she did such a remarkable job of not making contact
with anybody, let alone me.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
She must be used to that, yes, Dodd.
Speaker 10 (15:18):
I was hoping when I saw that too, that she
was just super focused on her craft as opposed to
being like one of those you can't look at her
right in the eye and like you get these you
know things about agent Trump was just saying you can't
look at her or talk to her or approach this person.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Well, she wasn't not nice. Yeah, she didn't like we
didn't get any heads up like that. She wasn't being rude,
She just wasn't going to indulge me and staring at her.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And Sandler thinks everybody knows everybody, and you know that.
Of course Susan Sarandon would know you know you guys.
And she had no idea and I had I had
no game to just say hey, and then what am
I gonna? I loved you in bull Durham. I thought
you deserved it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I did say this later and she said, that's very
sweet of you, because I said you deserved an Academy
Award nomination for Bull Durham.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You were unbelievable. And she said that's very sweet. And
then that was there wasn't anything not bad.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Take it.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I thought it was a great line, Like I thought
it because I really feel that whenever Costner I'm seeing him,
I always say, God, Sarandon was so great in bul Durham.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Maybe you should tell Costner he was so great in Bulderam.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You should tell Costner he was great in Bulderham.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He was, Yeah, but back when he was a good
actor apparently peak of his career.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
See, that's actually the trick though, is acting like they
should know you, like somebody like Susan Sarandon or whatever.
It's like oh yeah, like no, yeah, you're supposed to
know me. That's why this person is introducing you. So
it's actually on you for not Oh yeah. Like like
one time I was at a Super Bowl party and
Chrissy Teagan and John Legend walk by, and Chrissy Teagan
(16:55):
gave me a big hug and then she turned and
she went Kim you know seton right and Kim Kardashian,
And I was like, hey.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What's up, Kim, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
And She's like, hey, no idea.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Obviously, why in the world would she know.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
But Chrissy Tiga was like, Kim, you know Seaton right,
of course you don't.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Obviously you know me. Kim Kardashian, what the hell?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
What's the same thing?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
You know?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
When I was on the set when Aniston was there,
and then Sandler goes, uh, Aniston, you know, Danny, Danny
sports guy, She's like, hey, sports guy. So she was
every time she saw me, she was like, hey sports guy.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
So that was it. Hey sports guys. Hey friends.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Hey, Rachel, when they need a sports guy on the
morning show. Hello, I don't think they have the uh
And here's Chuck with sports.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Don't Yeah, they don't have a sports guy.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
On season five?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, Reese Witherspoon, love interests, Billy Crudup. I watched the show.

What's that?
Speaker 9 (19:54):
dB?
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
But hey, hey, just got two quick things.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
First.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
Let's hear what what.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
The hell was I going to say?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'll call you back link.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Uh, let's see Lennon Minnesota.
Speaker 13 (20:13):
Hey, Dan, how you doing great, lifelong fan and lifelong
Minnesota fan, and uh, I don't know what you guys
can do to encourage me during this long winter. Our
football teams in a little disarray, hockey teams kind of sad,
and the Pols that's kind of it, And uh, I
(20:34):
don't know what to do. Okay. And then the other
quick thing is, I think your retirement, you're hooked in
the peacock all the Law and Order shows. You're going
to be a judge and the script is pretty easy, overruled, sustained, approach,
the bench and my favorite my chambers.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Now, yeah, I don't know if I'll have a lot
of acting opportunities when I retire, and just feel like
it'll be Adam Sandler reaching out to me when he
does an occasional movie.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
But thank you for thinking of me.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Judge is a good look though. I could see that.
I could see the transition from walking the beat to.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Okay, Yes, Ton, would you consider having a casting agent,
someone to reach out for possible opportunities and just rather
wait to see who may find you?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, we're on in Los Angeles every morning, so I'm
and I guess the Hollywood types would know when that
guy retires, we're going to I'm going to go after him.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
They've seen my work. They're familiar.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Three episode arc.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Okay, that's fine. I would do it. I'd do that.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Maybe a crossover event when Chicago p D, Chicago FD
in Chicago m D set.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Together on a Wednesday night crossover event.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Officer Johnson, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I would actually like to walk that.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
They would show me walking off this set to get
to the other set for you know, the crossover that
I would walk right at like you know, eight fifty
nine fifty and then I would be walking over Firewalker.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Ross there, Ross Tucker Football podcast. You can follow him
on social media at Ross Tucker. And he has the
Army Air Force game on Saturday. Then he will be
in Tennessee. It'll be the Titans and the Chargers kicking
off at one eastern. Busy man, let me start with tonight,
Ross Raven's favored by seven and a half. That number
(22:25):
surprise you at all.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
A little bit? A little bit it does. I'll tell
you why a couple different reasons. Number One, the Dolphins
looked really good on Sunday. I don't know if that
had more to do with the Dolphins or the Falcons
just laying an egg, but you still had a team
on the road against a decent opponent, and the Falcons
and the Dolphins took him to the woodshed. Now they're
(22:49):
playing at home on a Thursday night, and think about
what we've seen in recent weeks from some of these
road teams on Thursday nights. It hasn't been pretty. You know,
the Steelers defense a couple of weeks ago against the Bengals,
they weren't able to hold up.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
You know, we've seen a lot of weeks now where
the road team.
Speaker 14 (23:10):
On these short weeks has not been up to the
Vikings last week against the Chargers, I called that game
for Wester one.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
That was a disaster. And then the Lamar Jackson factor.
Speaker 14 (23:22):
Dan, I know he's playing, I know that's why the
Ravens are big favorites, but he wasn't healthy enough to
play four days ago. They didn't play him four days
ago in a game they desperately needed. So you just wonder,
you know, is he one hundred percent? Can he be
full throttle with that hamstring? So it does surprise me
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, can Mike McDaniel win his way out of this
mess and save his John.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
I doubt it.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
I mean, he can you know if they went out
the rest of the season.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Sure, Do I think that's gonna happen?
Speaker 14 (23:55):
No, I think it's surprising that they were able to
play as well as they did against the Falcons.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
I gotta be honest with Dan.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
I kind of thought, I don't want to say that
those guys had packed it in, but I kind of
thought the Dolphins number one were going to be sellers
at the trade deadline, and they still might be with
edge rushers like Jalen Phillips or Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
But also it felt like everybody.
Speaker 14 (24:21):
Knew that Mike m daniel was getting fired and that
Steven Ross just wasn't doing it because he didn't want
to take the chance that the interim head coach would have.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
A lot of success.
Speaker 14 (24:32):
Yeah, and that they would feel compelled to hire him.
But it kind of felt like Mike McDaniel was a
dead man walking.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
He probably still is.
Speaker 14 (24:41):
So kudos to the Dolphins players and leaders for the
way they.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Played on Sunday.
Speaker 14 (24:46):
I mean, they fought for him if that's why they
were playing, and I guess you know that they still
are keeping this thing alive if they can get some momentum.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
I doubt it, but we'll find out.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The Falcons, and I've used this comparison and maybe it's unfair,
but they're kind of the Chargers of the East Coast
or the South where we every year we go.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Man, they got weapons. Man, they're going to be good.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I know the Chargers have had injuries, but I don't.
I mean, how do you explain the Falcons.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
I can't. I can't mean.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
They lost thirty to nothing to the kill and the
Panthers earlier in the year. You know, Dan, I have
a betting podcast, the Even Money Betting Podcast.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
The Falcons are banned that they're on my band list. Now, Okay.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
Every time I'm like, oh, I start to believe in
the Falcons and I place a bet on them on
the show, they end up totally laying an.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Egg out of nowhere that you're not expecting. So they're
on the band list.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
You know what, I really don't understand if you ask
the running backs around the NFL, and look, Jonathan Taylor
is have an amazing year, but you talk with like
Saquon and some of these guys, they are blown away
by jon Robinson.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
That should be the folk point of the Falcons offense
every week.
Speaker 14 (26:04):
They should do with Bijon what Kyle Shanahan does with
Christian McCaffrey. And yet there will be these games like
this past Sunday, where did Bijon have get the ball
seven times in the game. I mean, that should just
never ever happen. And I don't know how the Falcons
allow it to.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
You got the Chiefs against the Bills, and I know
we want to make this a rivalry. It was kind
of like the Red Sox and Yankees many many years
ago when the Yankees kept beating the Red Sox, and
I said, it's not a rivalry until the Red Sox win.
Buffalo can win the regular season, but this is an
a rivalry until you win in the postseason, in my opinion,
(26:44):
you agree, I do agree.
Speaker 14 (26:47):
You know, it reminds me of when I was playing.
This is Peyton Manning and the Colts against Tom Brady
and the Patriots. They could not get over the hump.
They would you know, the Colts would win the regular
season sometimes, but then in the playoffs when it mattered,
New England would just always find a way to get
it done. And it looked like that was going to
(27:08):
be the case in the two thousand and six AFC
Championship Game, and then the Colts said enough was enough
and they made enough plays to win that game and
then go on to win the Super Bowl. I thought
maybe that would be the case with the Bills in
the postseason last year.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
I thought it was a great opportunity. They weren't able
to do.
Speaker 14 (27:25):
It, you know, and on some token, you know, do
you know the Bills have beaten the Chiefs in the
regular season every year but one, and then the Chiefs
beat the Bills in the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
So on the one hand, Dan, I think some Bills
fans probably.
Speaker 14 (27:39):
Look at it and say, you know what, I'd rather
lose to them in the regular.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Season, give us the better chance in the playoffs.
Speaker 14 (27:45):
The problem with that is the Bills now have competition
in their own division and.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
They haven't had it in a while.
Speaker 14 (27:53):
And now they're going to be fighting, you know, tooth
and nail to the death now again against the New
England Patriots. So they can't afford to lose this game
and say we'll beat him in the playoffs. You lose
this game, now you're looking up even further at the
Patriots in the standings.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
We're talking to Ross Tucker the Ross Tucker Football Podcast,
and you can follow him at Ross Tucker NFL.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
You've got an.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Air force in Army on noon at noon Eastern on Saturday.
Then you get on a flight and you go to
Tennessee for the Titans and the Chargers. I've said this,
I'm kind of on the warpath with this. If cam
Ward had a better social following, you know, like if
he was more popular, I think people would be talking
(28:40):
more about how bad he's played, sort of like they
did with Caleb Williams, because Caleb Williams had a you know,
he got clicks. Cam Ward doesn't get clicks, but he's
the number one overall pick in the draft. And I
find that interesting that if Caleb Williams was in Tennessee
and was having these numbers, we'd be rushing Caleb Williams.
(29:01):
We don't even talk about cam Ward of the Titans.
Speaker 14 (29:04):
Why, you know, I don't know the answer to that,
but I wonder that myself. I think a big part
of it. He was really only on the college football
scene for one year. You know what he did at
Incarnate Word, Nobody even knew about what he did at
Washington State. You know, people really weren't paying attention. Most
(29:28):
people didn't know who cam Ward was until he was
playing last year for the Miami Hurricanes, whereas Caleb Williams
was the number one high school player in the country.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
He made a bunch of plays as a true.
Speaker 14 (29:42):
Freshman in Oklahoma, including in the game against Texas. Then
he goes to USC, wins the Heisman his second year,
is the presumptive number one pick. Even Shador Sanders got
a lot more attention and a lot more clicks than
cam Ward. He it's just kind of been under the radar.
And then he didn't go to a big market team.
(30:04):
He didn't go to the Bears or an LA team,
or the Giants or the Jets.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
He went to the Titans.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
This combination of a guy that's been overshadowed in college
by the Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels and even shod
Or Sanders, and then he goes to a team that's
not good at all in one of the smallest markets
in the NFL, you know, and people don't talk about
him much.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
And I think that's why it's going under the radar.
What I don't know.
Speaker 14 (30:31):
And I'm curious about is if we had flipped Caleb.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Williams and cam Ward, so cam Ward's.
Speaker 14 (30:38):
In a major market like Chicago, Caleb Williams is in Tennessee,
certainly it would they would be a little bit closer.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
But I still don't know how much.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
The Lions got that blueprint of that. You know, they're
they're signing up people before it's time for you know,
that bill to be paid. They've done that with golf,
they did that with the penny Sewell, they do that
with Aiden Hutchinson.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
Here.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
That's a big number for Aiden Hutchinson. That catch your attention.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
It's a huge number. Two things caught my attention. Number One,
this is very rare in the NFL. He benefited from
getting hurt. He did because if if Hutchinson doesn't get hurt,
Dan they signed him shortly after the season because he's
after his third year so they can give him an extension.
(31:32):
And that's what they've been doing with these core guys
that they really like, and rightfully so.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
But because he got hurt, I think they wanted to
see how he came back from injury. They wanted to
wait a little bit.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Well, In the meantime, Crosby got a new deal, Miles
Garrett got a new deal, TJ. Watt got a new deal,
and then Micah Parson set the bar really high. So
Hutchinson is one of the only guys I've ever seen
that benefited from a really bad injury.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
As in terms of the way the Lions.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
Are going about it, they're getting a lot of credit
for it. Dan, It's the Eagles model that the Eagles
basically invented this, which is, as soon as you know
one of the guys you drafted is a core guy
that you went around for the long term, you sign
him as soon as possible because then you spread the
(32:23):
cap pain over the entire length of deal. So let's
talk about Hutchinson. Right, he has half a year left
on the fourth year of his rookie deal. They had
already picked up his fifth year option, so then you
tag on those four years.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
He just signed to year six, seven, eight, and nine.
Speaker 14 (32:43):
Right, So it's a big number, but the cap pain
will be spread out over five and a half years,
including the big signing bonus now.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
As opposed to just the four year extension.
Speaker 14 (32:58):
It makes it a lot easier to have a lot
of talented guys on your roster.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
It's why the Bengals and the.
Speaker 14 (33:05):
Cowboys keep screwing up and have all these type of
cap issues, and why teams like the Eagles and the
Lions they get way ahead of it.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Now. The negative is if.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
Those guys start to get hurt or those guys start
to play poorly, you're stuck because you pro rated so
much of that money out over future years.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
You cover college football. Leave with this.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
The Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry cold reporters yesterday that LSU
athletic director Scott Woodward would not be involved in the
coaching search and saying that he would let President Donald
Trump do it before the athletic director. What could go
wrong in this situation?
Speaker 14 (33:47):
Ross, I mean, this is why college football, especially in
the South, is so amazing, because.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
I do think it is the case. I don't know
exactly the inner world workings, Dan, but I.
Speaker 14 (34:01):
Do think it is the case at a state university
that ultimately the governor oversees it. I know, like in
Pennsylvania where I reside, the governor is able to allocate
three or five spots to the board.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
At penn State.
Speaker 14 (34:16):
So don't I don't know exactly the dynamic between the
president university and the governor of a.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
State, but that is amazing.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
I mean, if you're publicly saying that the AD is
not going to pick the football coach, that reminds me
of like the movie Office Space, like like.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
The consulting to come in talk to the ad. What
what is it would you say that you do?
Speaker 14 (34:39):
Like if you don't pick the if you don't pick
the football.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Coach, you might as well just fire the AD.
Speaker 14 (34:43):
I don't even know what he's doing anymore if he's
not the guy picking the football coach.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Safe travels, Rachel Talk. Do you have a good weekend?

Well, pressure on me now, very thoughtful of you though.
Nineteen seventy four, in Zaiir Muhammed Ali won the heavyweight
title again after knocking out George Foreman. In nineteen ninety two,
Magic Johnson retired from the NBA for the second time,
and Michael Jordan Owe returned to the NBA with the
Washington Wizards after a three and a half year retirement.
Wizards lost to the Knicks.

Good morning Dan and Dan at five eleven two hundred. First,
I'd like to wish my wife Lynda a happy anniversary. Second.
Out of the five major sports basketball, football, hockey, soccer, Baseball,
I'm curious which one do you think requires the most
in game coaching? Thanks as always, guys, have a good weekend.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Most in game coaching? Yeah, see, I would say probably football.
You know, it's like NonStop in game coaching.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Marvin Football.
Speaker 8 (37:30):
Definitely.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
You do see coaches in the NBA and college coaching
every play or at least yelling out the defenses or offenses,
you know what kind of play you're going to run. NFL,
it feels like there's far more going on that you
have to be aware of. And if you're not coaching
the offense when the offense is on the field, you
(37:52):
might be coaching the defense as well.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Roy in San Antonio, Hi Roy, good.
Speaker 13 (37:59):
Morning everybody, and the hashtag sports guy.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (38:04):
So the Spurs. The longest wind streak an opening night
going into the whole deal was three and oh in
twenty nineteen, and the Spurs are now four and oh.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Okay, well, congratulations Roy, congratulations who wow.
Speaker 15 (38:25):
Stead of a day stant of to day, stall outa
day start out to day, this is the stanle of
the day.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I saw he. I think he played Connor Roy. He
was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and he was at
a diner in Brooklyn and I recognized him. He didn't
recognize me. What's his name? Alan, Alan Ruck? Okay, Alan Ruck.
(39:00):
But I was trying to be noticed. But then I thought,
I don't have anything to really say, Like, I don't
know Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
That car was beautiful Succession, although I didn't like his
role on Succession.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
He was kind of annoying.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
But doesn't that mean he's a good actor.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he's a really good actor. Okay, Yeah,
I act every day and I'm annoying yues Tom.
Speaker 9 (39:28):
Was he wearing his red wings jersey from.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Beck He did the wings jersey.
Speaker 9 (39:32):
That's disappointed.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
But then I thought he's by himself. And then it
feels sometimes I don't know if you guys feel this way,
it's more awkward to go up to somebody when they're
by themselves as opposed to when they're with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Anybody feel that way.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
I feel the opposite.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Okay, yeah, so they're by themselves and you walk up, Okay.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
If they're with somebody, you're interrupting.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, but it feels like I get a little cover
though with that, because then the the other person might
know who you are, and maybe that would help a
little bit here. I remember walking around the table we
were in Memphis and Robert Plant was there with his band. Ah,
it was like somebody in the band recognized me, so
I can go say a little Robert Plant.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
You were like.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, and nobody did. And then I thought, you know what,
it's better if I don't go up to him.
Speaker 14 (40:23):
It is.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
But then I thought, you know, Robert Plants missing out
on an opportunity to meet me.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
You know, he's sitting there somewhere now being bummed.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yeah, he's probably gone. The sports guy man I saw him.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
He doesn't want to talk fantasy football. I ask him
who I should draft in my fantasy was.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
It OJ Simpson?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Is that OJ? The English OJ Simpson?
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (40:46):
Dan?
Speaker 14 (40:47):
Is me?
Speaker 3 (40:47):
OJ?
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Yo bell?
Speaker 14 (40:48):
Oj?
Speaker 8 (40:49):
OJ?
Speaker 3 (40:50):

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yes, Paul, Dan and Seaton, this is a question more
from America than me.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
If Joe Flacco shakes off the injury and beats the
Bears this weekend, do we bring it back?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
What's the policy there?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, it's a one time only. Oh yeah, yeah, one

T shirt?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now, well, okay, uh, Dion gave us that thicker than
a Snicker.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
I think there's a song called thicker than a Snickers too.
I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Marvin's that sound right?
Speaker 8 (01:57):
I don't know if he's true, but it sounds right.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Okay, sounds like a jam.
Speaker 8 (02:02):
I don't know if it's a song or not, but
it sounds like a jam.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Was it like ciscod?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Do you know?
Speaker 9 (02:11):
I think it's a country song? I love is thicker
than a Snicker? That's not it?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Thank you, Choan.
Speaker 9 (02:17):
Uh, we'll come up with a that's a Randy Travis song.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
According to justin abbas Raar. I don't know who that is.
I'm not familiar with that person's work.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
She's thicker than a snicker. Why you look so bitter?
She's not a gold digger. She gets money bigger. She's
thicker than a snicker. Why you look so bigger bitter?
You should reconsider.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
You're spitting lyrics?
Speaker 9 (02:42):
Yeah, I am rhyming issues there.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
This is the right time for me on Twitter. Catch
her the vibe at urban outfitters making large figures because
of her figure.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Okay, nothing is more hardcore wrapped than rhyming with urban outfitter.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And she's a thick chick uh expletive expletive.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
She's bad bathroom beyond like.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Click something thick. She the words thick, chick flick A
lot of you see the rhyming pattern.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah I do, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah AnyWho uh so, uh yeah, we could do thicker
than a snicker if you wanted to.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Dion gave that to us.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The World Series odds or Blue Jays or minus two
forty They were plus one sixty yesterday, the Dodgers plus
two hundred. They were minus one ninety five yesterday. World
Series MVP odds Vlad Guerrero minus two oh five show,
Hey plus two thirty. I would probably put some money
down on Yamamoto, who is going to go in game six.
(03:50):
If he throws another complete game and sends it to
a game seven and maybe wins it three to one,
doesn't get the offensive support, but you know, wins the game,
maybe he could be your MVP of the Dodgers. Would
happen to win if the Blue Jays win, it feels
like it's Vlad Guerrero Junior, And rightfully so. He has
(04:10):
been unbelievable, and I think we've gotten to the point.
If you're the Dodger pitching staff, I would be very careful.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I wouldn't be pitching to him.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And sometimes you see these pitches and you go, how
could you throw that pitch?
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Former pitcher who listens to the show wrote, remain nameless.
He'd be like, you make it seem like we know
where the ball's going all the time. I said, but
you can't make a mistake like that to that guy.
You can't make that mistake. You can make mistakes or
you can go, man, that's unbelievably. He hit that ball
out of the park. It can't be I'm not surprised
(04:48):
that he hit the ball out of the ballpark. That
was my point to him, and we got.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Back and forth.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
He goes, oh, yeah, you've thrown off the mound when
you throw out a first pitch.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I go, I used to deal in high school.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Man, don't be telling me that I don't pitch from
the front of the mound when I throw out the
first pitch. But you can't make that mistake that bad.
These are professionals. Your job is to not throw it
right down the middle of the plate. There's no picture.
Who goes, Yep, I'm gonna throw it right down the
middle of the plate. You're always high, low in out,
(05:22):
brushing back a little to something. But blake snow when
you throw that pitch, and it's like you deserve that.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Pauline Smaltz was actually talking about that last night. He says,
Pitcher's throwing above ninety five. They're yielding control because of that.
I think it's Henriquez, the reliever for the Dodgers. He
throws hundred all the time, and it was all over
the place last night because he says, you're holding it
so tight to throw a hundred, you're giving up a
little bit of control on those pitches.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, Todd.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
I feel like to us it looks like an ego thing.
Why are you challenging him, Why you're gonna let him
beat you.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
But as you.
Speaker 10 (05:56):
Were just saying that, that's a mistake, that's not where
they intended the pitch to go. And you know, to
try to throw it one hundred miles an hour from
where you're throwing it from.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
The little millimeter of a difference is a difference than
to strike got in a home run.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But some of these pitches are right over the plate
and they're going to hit anything. They can hit speed,
they can hit one hundred miles an hour. They have
a hard time when it's moving, when it's down, where
it's inside, it's outside, it's up, you know all of
those things. But if you throw it right down the
middle of the plate, these guys, everybody's going up there
(06:29):
to try to hit it out of the park. And
you deserve it, Blake Snell, deserve that because those are pitches.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Those are meatballs.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
As we like to say, Uh, Tray, you savage, you
know you send him out there. Sometimes what you don't
know can make you better. Like you're in the Miners
four months ago, and now you're pitching a pivotal Game
five in the World Series, and you had one of
the most impressive performances that we've ever seen. I mean,
(06:57):
he struck out twelve. I don't think you walk to anybody.
And when you get guys to swing and miss like
that says a lot about your stuff, because you can
get guys who take pitches and you're like, Okay, that
was a good pitch. I get to I think I'm
gonna hit you. So he has thirty nine strikeouts in
the postseason. That breaks the record for a rookie set
(07:18):
by the Cardinals Michael Waka. That was in twenty thirteen.
He struck out eleven. In Game two the Alds against
the Yankees, he had twenty three whiffs, so swings and misses.
That's the most in the World Series game since they
started tracking that a No.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Nine.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's when you got great stuff. And I remember Tim
Linsekem it was Game five of the twenty ten World Series.
He had one of those games where twenty one whiffs.
Justin Berlander had one of those in twenty nineteen Game five.
But that's when you're striking out twelve over seven innings,
three hits, strikeouts, a record for a rookie in the
(08:02):
World Series, breaking the old mark of Don Newcomb in
nineteen forty nine. Eleven eleven.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
I love that number.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Thank you, Chyle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's why you should love the show Stranger Things because
her name's eleven Millie Bobby Brown, and I like Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Eleven. Jalen Brunson. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
By the way, I was watching The Inside the NBA
with Shaq and Kenny Charles Ernie and Shaq had an
afro on last night. I guess he was making fun
of Jalen Brown because I tuned in and I just
saw the afro.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
They probably mentioned it before.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
He should have painted his head the top of his
head like Jalen Brown is done. But then Jalen Brown,
I guess he decided he was going to shave his head,
like he's got a good looking head. Who cares if
you're bald? Yeah, exactly, Thank you Todd. You haven't shaved
your head.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
I have not, but I've been told many times at
it's time to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You don't have to, you know, I don't know what's.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
Just like a San Diego Padres mascot.
Speaker 11 (09:14):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That, that is true. The monk.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You're being told you have to shave your head.
Speaker 10 (09:20):
Well, I think Barkley said, like years ago, tell if
Britzy you should come on home and get rid of
me bald.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Remember he said that, Yeah, he used to keep your
hair long, even though it's in the same shape that
it is now.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
But it feels it feels pretty shaven right now.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Besides, definitely you're keeping it pretty close.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So sometimes you'll see those guys who have really long
hair but nothing on top, but they they'll wear a
baseball hat and it comes out the back, or they
got a little ponytail there.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Not hot, no, not a good look.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But it's tough, you know, because I remember my wife
we were talking to one of our friends was going bald,
and she was like, why is it such a big
deal to guys?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
He said, it's a huge deal to guys.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, losing your hair when you have a good head
of hair, and all of a sudden you realize, I'm
going to hold onto this for dear life.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Then what do you do you get it to pay?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Do you do some of those whatever those drugs that
you can take that's going to grow it, dig transplants
in there.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Thank god, I don't have to worry about it, Yes, Pauli.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And if it's after forty, it's kind of assumed or
it could be hereditary. But I knew a guy in
college who was losing his hair at twenty one.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I mean it was going bad fast.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
He looked about thirty six years old as a senior
in college, and that's not fair to anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I work with somebody at the Mothership who wasn't on
the air, and he was going gray at like twenty six,
and I remember him saying, you think I should diet?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I go no, no, no, women all love that.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Losing weight's not going to help you anyway. Diet I
got it.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Die die die it. Yeah. Maybe he was saying, you know,
go on a diet.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You are a little Choby, the executive producer for Sandler.
One time I was doing the six o'clock Sports Center
and I was dyeing my hair, culling my hair, and
he texted me during the show and he said he
just put d y E. That was it, Jack Garraputo.
(11:25):
Probably not a compliment, No, it was it, because you know,
if you're trying to do it with these new TVs,
as good as they are, you can't hide anything.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That's a fellow that scared of sharing an opinion too.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Jack's a jerk.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Jackj'll he'll tell you things you don't want to hear.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yes, but he's he's been with Sandman all those movies
for decades. Yeah, he would tell you. He would tell
you he was you know, I would say, hey, how
is my performance? He goes, it's okay, it's just okay,
you're not an actor, and I go, okay, oh yeah, see.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
He is the guy.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
When we were shooting, that's my boy, and he said,
if you see me, that means things are going very poorly.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And we're like, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
No problem.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So he was and he was being nice.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
He was trying to like be like, hey, hype us up,
but look, if you see me, then things are going
very very bad. And we did exactly one take that
lasted about twenty seconds and he came flying out.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
From one thing that was not fun.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He just said, Fritzy, you're terrible.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
All I how to do was point the camera the
direction where the action was, and somehow I had it
on some.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Kind of slant.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, you you you weren't even focusing on what you
were He said, hey, focus the camera on you know,
Susan Sarandon and Sandman.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
And I think I got caught up in the moment
when he goes accially, I'm like, I think that's Rachel
dretchback there, and I'm.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Like, that's not what you're supposed to be looking at.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
You got to look forward.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
Yeah, pretend you're an actual camera person.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So that's the first scene that we have in the prison,
first scene or first time we're doing it, first take,
and all of a sudden, I see Jack Garaputo run
out from you know, so my side, my peripheral vision,
I go, oh no, And I didn't know what we
did wrong. And all of a sudden he yells at Fritzy.
Now everybody's there. So you got Sandman, Andy Samberg, you
(13:08):
got Susan Sarandon.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
They're all there, like these are real actors.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I was going to attention line line. I just need
a line line and then we have line. He gave
Todd one thing to do. That was it point the
camera at where the action is.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
Seems fairly simple.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yes, And you got yelled at.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
Found a way to make extremely complicated.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yes, yes, oh my god, what an experience.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
Though, Oh take it from the top, maybe Fritzi a
point the camera the right direction.
Speaker 9 (13:36):
This stuf. Okay, let's not make it a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
There are moments though, where you go are we fooling anybody?
Does Andy Samberg know because he even said, He goes, hey,
you're good at this, and I go, well thanks. He goes, no,
I'm surprised, I said, you have every right to be surprised.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
So we're extras in this movie and we're not supposed
to do much. We're not supposed to talk or interact
because we got to be low key. But in between
one of the shots, I'm sitting there a seating and
at any a sailor stand there and there's a lot
of downtime and he just turns through us.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He goes, what do you think of the Knicks this year?
They're gonna be any good? He's just chit chatting to
fill time, and we're being civil. We're just like, yeah, well.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
They're a pretty good team. And Susan Sarandon, the actress,
is looking at us like, why are the two extras
talking to the star.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
She had no idea who I was less than none,
no idea.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
What was going on.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And there was this awkward moment where she's on the
other side of the glass. So we're in a prison
and Sandman was going to be talking to her through
the glass, and I just remember it was me and
Susan Sarandon and nobody else, and there was silence. I
didn't know what to say, and she certainly had nothing
(14:47):
to say to me.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Yes, see, I have never seen anyone better at avoiding
eye contact than Susan Sarandon with dozens of people, than
Susan Sarandon, because she.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You know, oh she is someone that when she is
in a room, you.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Notice her, Yes you do.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
She was spectacular.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
And I was definitely staring at her, for sure, and
she did such a remarkable job of not making contact
with anybody, let alone me.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
She must be used to that, yes, Dodd.
Speaker 10 (15:18):
I was hoping when I saw that too, that she
was just super focused on her craft as opposed to
being like one of those you can't look at her
right in the eye and like you get these you
know things about agent Trump was just saying you can't
look at her or talk to her or approach this person.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Well, she wasn't not nice. Yeah, she didn't like we
didn't get any heads up like that. She wasn't being rude,
She just wasn't going to indulge me and staring at her.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And Sandler thinks everybody knows everybody, and you know that.
Of course Susan Sarandon would know you know you guys.
And she had no idea and I had I had
no game to just say hey, and then what am
I gonna? I loved you in bull Durham. I thought
you deserved it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I did say this later and she said, that's very
sweet of you, because I said you deserved an Academy
Award nomination for Bull Durham.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You were unbelievable. And she said that's very sweet. And
then that was there wasn't anything not bad.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Take it.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I thought it was a great line, Like I thought
it because I really feel that whenever Costner I'm seeing him,
I always say, God, Sarandon was so great in bul Durham.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Maybe you should tell Costner he was so great in Bulderam.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You should tell Costner he was great in Bulderham.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He was, Yeah, but back when he was a good
actor apparently peak of his career.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
See, that's actually the trick though, is acting like they
should know you, like somebody like Susan Sarandon or whatever.
It's like oh yeah, like no, yeah, you're supposed to
know me. That's why this person is introducing you. So
it's actually on you for not Oh yeah. Like like
one time I was at a Super Bowl party and
Chrissy Teagan and John Legend walk by, and Chrissy Teagan
(16:55):
gave me a big hug and then she turned and
she went Kim you know seton right and Kim Kardashian,
And I was like, hey.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What's up, Kim, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
And She's like, hey, no idea.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Obviously, why in the world would she know.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
But Chrissy Tiga was like, Kim, you know Seaton right,
of course you don't.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Obviously you know me. Kim Kardashian, what the hell?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
What's the same thing?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
You know?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
When I was on the set when Aniston was there,
and then Sandler goes, uh, Aniston, you know, Danny, Danny
sports guy, She's like, hey, sports guy. So she was
every time she saw me, she was like, hey sports guy.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
So that was it. Hey sports guys. Hey friends.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Hey, Rachel, when they need a sports guy on the
morning show. Hello, I don't think they have the uh
And here's Chuck with sports.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Don't Yeah, they don't have a sports guy.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
On season five?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, Reese Witherspoon, love interests, Billy Crudup. I watched the show.
Maybe I swoop in and I'm a bad.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Guy anchoring sports, but gunning for the desk.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I'm gunning for the co anchor. Yeah. I can do
weather as well. Oh no, they have a weather guy
on there.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Yeah, Oh yick maybe Yanko, Yank Yanko.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That was Todd's nickname in high school.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Again, tell you something in confidence And there's a segment.

Ravens favored by seven and a half at the Dolphins
over under fifty one and a half. We'll talk to
Ross Tucker coming up. Who do you think is slated
to have more passing yards tonight? Lamar Jackson or tuit
tongue of Iloa. If you said Lamar Jackson, you would
be correct to thirty six and a half. The over
(19:34):
under is to eighteen and a half passing yards. Also
the odds to win the AFC North. The Ravens are
still favored to win the AFC North minus one thirty
the Steelers plus one sixty. Uh wink in Illinois, Hey wink,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (19:53):
What's that?
Speaker 9 (19:54):
dB?
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
But hey, hey, just got two quick things.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
First.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
Let's hear what what.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
The hell was I going to say?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'll call you back link.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Uh, let's see Lennon Minnesota.
Speaker 13 (20:13):
Hey, Dan, how you doing great, lifelong fan and lifelong
Minnesota fan, and uh, I don't know what you guys
can do to encourage me during this long winter. Our
football teams in a little disarray, hockey teams kind of sad,
and the Pols that's kind of it, And uh, I
(20:34):
don't know what to do. Okay. And then the other
quick thing is, I think your retirement, you're hooked in
the peacock all the Law and Order shows. You're going
to be a judge and the script is pretty easy, overruled, sustained, approach,
the bench and my favorite my chambers.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Now, yeah, I don't know if I'll have a lot
of acting opportunities when I retire, and just feel like
it'll be Adam Sandler reaching out to me when he
does an occasional movie.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
But thank you for thinking of me.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Judge is a good look though. I could see that.
I could see the transition from walking the beat to.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Okay, Yes, Ton, would you consider having a casting agent,
someone to reach out for possible opportunities and just rather
wait to see who may find you?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, we're on in Los Angeles every morning, so I'm
and I guess the Hollywood types would know when that
guy retires, we're going to I'm going to go after him.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
They've seen my work. They're familiar.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Three episode arc.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Okay, that's fine. I would do it. I'd do that.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Maybe a crossover event when Chicago p D, Chicago FD
in Chicago m D set.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Together on a Wednesday night crossover event.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Officer Johnson, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I would actually like to walk that.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
They would show me walking off this set to get
to the other set for you know, the crossover that
I would walk right at like you know, eight fifty
nine fifty and then I would be walking over Firewalker.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Ross there, Ross Tucker Football podcast. You can follow him
on social media at Ross Tucker. And he has the
Army Air Force game on Saturday. Then he will be
in Tennessee. It'll be the Titans and the Chargers kicking
off at one eastern. Busy man, let me start with tonight,
Ross Raven's favored by seven and a half. That number
(22:25):
surprise you at all.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
A little bit? A little bit it does. I'll tell
you why a couple different reasons. Number One, the Dolphins
looked really good on Sunday. I don't know if that
had more to do with the Dolphins or the Falcons
just laying an egg, but you still had a team
on the road against a decent opponent, and the Falcons
and the Dolphins took him to the woodshed. Now they're
(22:49):
playing at home on a Thursday night, and think about
what we've seen in recent weeks from some of these
road teams on Thursday nights. It hasn't been pretty. You know,
the Steelers defense a couple of weeks ago against the Bengals,
they weren't able to hold up.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
You know, we've seen a lot of weeks now where
the road team.
Speaker 14 (23:10):
On these short weeks has not been up to the
Vikings last week against the Chargers, I called that game
for Wester one.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
That was a disaster. And then the Lamar Jackson factor.
Speaker 14 (23:22):
Dan, I know he's playing, I know that's why the
Ravens are big favorites, but he wasn't healthy enough to
play four days ago. They didn't play him four days
ago in a game they desperately needed. So you just wonder,
you know, is he one hundred percent? Can he be
full throttle with that hamstring? So it does surprise me
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, can Mike McDaniel win his way out of this
mess and save his John.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
I doubt it.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
I mean, he can you know if they went out
the rest of the season.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Sure, Do I think that's gonna happen?
Speaker 14 (23:55):
No, I think it's surprising that they were able to
play as well as they did against the Falcons.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
I gotta be honest with Dan.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
I kind of thought, I don't want to say that
those guys had packed it in, but I kind of
thought the Dolphins number one were going to be sellers
at the trade deadline, and they still might be with
edge rushers like Jalen Phillips or Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
But also it felt like everybody.
Speaker 14 (24:21):
Knew that Mike m daniel was getting fired and that
Steven Ross just wasn't doing it because he didn't want
to take the chance that the interim head coach would have.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
A lot of success.
Speaker 14 (24:32):
Yeah, and that they would feel compelled to hire him.
But it kind of felt like Mike McDaniel was a
dead man walking.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
He probably still is.
Speaker 14 (24:41):
So kudos to the Dolphins players and leaders for the
way they.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Played on Sunday.
Speaker 14 (24:46):
I mean, they fought for him if that's why they
were playing, and I guess you know that they still
are keeping this thing alive if they can get some momentum.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
I doubt it, but we'll find out.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The Falcons, and I've used this comparison and maybe it's unfair,
but they're kind of the Chargers of the East Coast
or the South where we every year we go.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Man, they got weapons. Man, they're going to be good.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I know the Chargers have had injuries, but I don't.
I mean, how do you explain the Falcons.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
I can't. I can't mean.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
They lost thirty to nothing to the kill and the
Panthers earlier in the year. You know, Dan, I have
a betting podcast, the Even Money Betting Podcast.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
The Falcons are banned that they're on my band list. Now, Okay.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
Every time I'm like, oh, I start to believe in
the Falcons and I place a bet on them on
the show, they end up totally laying an.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Egg out of nowhere that you're not expecting. So they're
on the band list.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
You know what, I really don't understand if you ask
the running backs around the NFL, and look, Jonathan Taylor
is have an amazing year, but you talk with like
Saquon and some of these guys, they are blown away
by jon Robinson.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
That should be the folk point of the Falcons offense
every week.
Speaker 14 (26:04):
They should do with Bijon what Kyle Shanahan does with
Christian McCaffrey. And yet there will be these games like
this past Sunday, where did Bijon have get the ball
seven times in the game. I mean, that should just
never ever happen. And I don't know how the Falcons
allow it to.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
You got the Chiefs against the Bills, and I know
we want to make this a rivalry. It was kind
of like the Red Sox and Yankees many many years
ago when the Yankees kept beating the Red Sox, and
I said, it's not a rivalry until the Red Sox win.
Buffalo can win the regular season, but this is an
a rivalry until you win in the postseason, in my opinion,
(26:44):
you agree, I do agree.
Speaker 14 (26:47):
You know, it reminds me of when I was playing.
This is Peyton Manning and the Colts against Tom Brady
and the Patriots. They could not get over the hump.
They would you know, the Colts would win the regular
season sometimes, but then in the playoffs when it mattered,
New England would just always find a way to get
it done. And it looked like that was going to
(27:08):
be the case in the two thousand and six AFC
Championship Game, and then the Colts said enough was enough
and they made enough plays to win that game and
then go on to win the Super Bowl. I thought
maybe that would be the case with the Bills in
the postseason last year.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
I thought it was a great opportunity. They weren't able
to do.
Speaker 14 (27:25):
It, you know, and on some token, you know, do
you know the Bills have beaten the Chiefs in the
regular season every year but one, and then the Chiefs
beat the Bills in the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
So on the one hand, Dan, I think some Bills
fans probably.
Speaker 14 (27:39):
Look at it and say, you know what, I'd rather
lose to them in the regular.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Season, give us the better chance in the playoffs.
Speaker 14 (27:45):
The problem with that is the Bills now have competition
in their own division and.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
They haven't had it in a while.
Speaker 14 (27:53):
And now they're going to be fighting, you know, tooth
and nail to the death now again against the New
England Patriots. So they can't afford to lose this game
and say we'll beat him in the playoffs. You lose
this game, now you're looking up even further at the
Patriots in the standings.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
We're talking to Ross Tucker the Ross Tucker Football Podcast,
and you can follow him at Ross Tucker NFL.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
You've got an.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Air force in Army on noon at noon Eastern on Saturday.
Then you get on a flight and you go to
Tennessee for the Titans and the Chargers. I've said this,
I'm kind of on the warpath with this. If cam
Ward had a better social following, you know, like if
he was more popular, I think people would be talking
(28:40):
more about how bad he's played, sort of like they
did with Caleb Williams, because Caleb Williams had a you know,
he got clicks. Cam Ward doesn't get clicks, but he's
the number one overall pick in the draft. And I
find that interesting that if Caleb Williams was in Tennessee
and was having these numbers, we'd be rushing Caleb Williams.
(29:01):
We don't even talk about cam Ward of the Titans.
Speaker 14 (29:04):
Why, you know, I don't know the answer to that,
but I wonder that myself. I think a big part
of it. He was really only on the college football
scene for one year. You know what he did at
Incarnate Word, Nobody even knew about what he did at
Washington State. You know, people really weren't paying attention. Most
(29:28):
people didn't know who cam Ward was until he was
playing last year for the Miami Hurricanes, whereas Caleb Williams
was the number one high school player in the country.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
He made a bunch of plays as a true.
Speaker 14 (29:42):
Freshman in Oklahoma, including in the game against Texas. Then
he goes to USC, wins the Heisman his second year,
is the presumptive number one pick. Even Shador Sanders got
a lot more attention and a lot more clicks than
cam Ward. He it's just kind of been under the radar.
And then he didn't go to a big market team.
(30:04):
He didn't go to the Bears or an LA team,
or the Giants or the Jets.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
He went to the Titans.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
This combination of a guy that's been overshadowed in college
by the Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels and even shod
Or Sanders, and then he goes to a team that's
not good at all in one of the smallest markets
in the NFL, you know, and people don't talk about
him much.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
And I think that's why it's going under the radar.
What I don't know.
Speaker 14 (30:31):
And I'm curious about is if we had flipped Caleb.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Williams and cam Ward, so cam Ward's.
Speaker 14 (30:38):
In a major market like Chicago, Caleb Williams is in Tennessee,
certainly it would they would be a little bit closer.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
But I still don't know how much.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
The Lions got that blueprint of that. You know, they're
they're signing up people before it's time for you know,
that bill to be paid. They've done that with golf,
they did that with the penny Sewell, they do that
with Aiden Hutchinson.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
Here.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
That's a big number for Aiden Hutchinson. That catch your attention.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
It's a huge number. Two things caught my attention. Number One,
this is very rare in the NFL. He benefited from
getting hurt. He did because if if Hutchinson doesn't get hurt,
Dan they signed him shortly after the season because he's
after his third year so they can give him an extension.
(31:32):
And that's what they've been doing with these core guys
that they really like, and rightfully so.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
But because he got hurt, I think they wanted to
see how he came back from injury. They wanted to
wait a little bit.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Well, In the meantime, Crosby got a new deal, Miles
Garrett got a new deal, TJ. Watt got a new deal,
and then Micah Parson set the bar really high. So
Hutchinson is one of the only guys I've ever seen
that benefited from a really bad injury.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
As in terms of the way the Lions.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
Are going about it, they're getting a lot of credit
for it. Dan, It's the Eagles model that the Eagles
basically invented this, which is, as soon as you know
one of the guys you drafted is a core guy
that you went around for the long term, you sign
him as soon as possible because then you spread the
(32:23):
cap pain over the entire length of deal. So let's
talk about Hutchinson. Right, he has half a year left
on the fourth year of his rookie deal. They had
already picked up his fifth year option, so then you
tag on those four years.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
He just signed to year six, seven, eight, and nine.
Speaker 14 (32:43):
Right, So it's a big number, but the cap pain
will be spread out over five and a half years,
including the big signing bonus now.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
As opposed to just the four year extension.
Speaker 14 (32:58):
It makes it a lot easier to have a lot
of talented guys on your roster.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
It's why the Bengals and the.
Speaker 14 (33:05):
Cowboys keep screwing up and have all these type of
cap issues, and why teams like the Eagles and the
Lions they get way ahead of it.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Now. The negative is if.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
Those guys start to get hurt or those guys start
to play poorly, you're stuck because you pro rated so
much of that money out over future years.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
You cover college football. Leave with this.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
The Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry cold reporters yesterday that LSU
athletic director Scott Woodward would not be involved in the
coaching search and saying that he would let President Donald
Trump do it before the athletic director. What could go
wrong in this situation?
Speaker 14 (33:47):
Ross, I mean, this is why college football, especially in
the South, is so amazing, because.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
I do think it is the case. I don't know
exactly the inner world workings, Dan, but I.
Speaker 14 (34:01):
Do think it is the case at a state university
that ultimately the governor oversees it. I know, like in
Pennsylvania where I reside, the governor is able to allocate
three or five spots to the board.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
At penn State.
Speaker 14 (34:16):
So don't I don't know exactly the dynamic between the
president university and the governor of a.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
State, but that is amazing.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
I mean, if you're publicly saying that the AD is
not going to pick the football coach, that reminds me
of like the movie Office Space, like like.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
The consulting to come in talk to the ad. What
what is it would you say that you do?
Speaker 14 (34:39):
Like if you don't pick the if you don't pick
the football.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Coach, you might as well just fire the AD.
Speaker 14 (34:43):
I don't even know what he's doing anymore if he's
not the guy picking the football coach.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Safe travels, Rachel Talk. Do you have a good weekend?

Well, pressure on me now, very thoughtful of you though.
Nineteen seventy four, in Zaiir Muhammed Ali won the heavyweight
title again after knocking out George Foreman. In nineteen ninety two,
Magic Johnson retired from the NBA for the second time,

Good morning Dan and Dan at five eleven two hundred. First,
I'd like to wish my wife Lynda a happy anniversary. Second.
Out of the five major sports basketball, football, hockey, soccer, Baseball,
I'm curious which one do you think requires the most
in game coaching? Thanks as always, guys, have a good weekend.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Most in game coaching? Yeah, see, I would say probably football.
You know, it's like NonStop in game coaching.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Marvin Football.
Speaker 8 (37:30):
Definitely.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
You do see coaches in the NBA and college coaching
every play or at least yelling out the defenses or offenses,
you know what kind of play you're going to run. NFL,
it feels like there's far more going on that you
have to be aware of. And if you're not coaching
the offense when the offense is on the field, you
(37:52):
might be coaching the defense as well.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Roy in San Antonio, Hi Roy, good.
Speaker 13 (37:59):
Morning everybody, and the hashtag sports guy.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (38:04):
So the Spurs. The longest wind streak an opening night
going into the whole deal was three and oh in
twenty nineteen, and the Spurs are now four and oh.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Okay, well, congratulations Roy, congratulations who wow.
Speaker 15 (38:25):
Stead of a day stant of to day, stall outa
day start out to day, this is the stanle of
the day.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I saw he. I think he played Connor Roy. He
was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and he was at
a diner in Brooklyn and I recognized him. He didn't
recognize me. What's his name? Alan, Alan Ruck? Okay, Alan Ruck.
(39:00):
But I was trying to be noticed. But then I thought,
I don't have anything to really say, Like, I don't
know Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
That car was beautiful Succession, although I didn't like his
role on Succession.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
He was kind of annoying.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
But doesn't that mean he's a good actor.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he's a really good actor. Okay, Yeah,
I act every day and I'm annoying yues Tom.
Speaker 9 (39:28):
Was he wearing his red wings jersey from.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Beck He did the wings jersey.
Speaker 9 (39:32):
That's disappointed.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
But then I thought he's by himself. And then it
feels sometimes I don't know if you guys feel this way,
it's more awkward to go up to somebody when they're
by themselves as opposed to when they're with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Anybody feel that way.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
I feel the opposite.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Okay, yeah, so they're by themselves and you walk up, Okay.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
If they're with somebody, you're interrupting.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, but it feels like I get a little cover
though with that, because then the the other person might
know who you are, and maybe that would help a
little bit here. I remember walking around the table we
were in Memphis and Robert Plant was there with his band. Ah,
it was like somebody in the band recognized me, so
I can go say a little Robert Plant.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
You were like.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, and nobody did. And then I thought, you know what,
it's better if I don't go up to him.
Speaker 14 (40:23):
It is.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
But then I thought, you know, Robert Plants missing out
on an opportunity to meet me.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
You know, he's sitting there somewhere now being bummed.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yeah, he's probably gone. The sports guy man I saw him.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
He doesn't want to talk fantasy football. I ask him
who I should draft in my fantasy was.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
It OJ Simpson?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Is that OJ? The English OJ Simpson?
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (40:46):
Dan?
Speaker 14 (40:47):
Is me?
Speaker 3 (40:47):
OJ?
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Yo bell?
Speaker 14 (40:48):
Oj?
Speaker 8 (40:49):
OJ?
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Todd? Would you learn today?
Speaker 10 (40:52):
Every time Ross Tucker starts to bet on the Falcons,
they do him dirty bird.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Seaton Rouss.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Tucker is the best.
Speaker 3 (40:58):

Paul's Molton low sleep, What about me?
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Todd? J.
