Proving you can never have too many Thanksgiving dinners. We
have one today for Meet Friday, kind of a rehearsal
for Thanksgiving. We have turkey, We have mashed potatoes and
gravy stuff in green Bean Castle.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Role has it better than we do? Nobody. Uh.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Morale is high in New England with the Patriots. They
won eight in a row. Last time they did that
was twenty nineteen, Tom Brady's final year in New England.
And yes it is the Jets, but the Jets had
won two games in a row and the Patriots it
wasn't a dominating as much as it was more methodical
and Traveon Henderson scoring three touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
There.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Everybody's going to have a strong opinion about Drake May.
We had Rob Gronkowski on and he said, you know,
he kind of reminded me of Tom Brady. Easy there,
easy there. But according to Draft Kings, Drake May is
the leading candidate for the MVP with a little recency

Dylan in the chair for Seaton who joined his last hour.
He's in route to Vegas, which is where we will
be next Thursday and Friday. Todd's here, Marvin Paula, yours
truly in the back room, guys. Pull question for the
final hour the program is going to be what well,
quick recap of last hour?

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Dan, If you own a Drake May MVP ticket right now?
Are you holding? Our selling? Fifty three percent are selling,
but it's close, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
So if I have one thousand dollars at six thousand.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
To one, right, it'd be sixty plus six thousand or
sixty to one.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Okay, Okay, So I could hold out for sixty thousand,
or I could cash it for thirty thousand. Yeah, that's
the option we're giving you.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
This is our scenario.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I'm riding it. I'm riding it. I know, thirties
a lot, sixties a lot more, and it's a great story.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
It's already is a lot until Drake May wins the
MVP and it would have been sixty.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
All right.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Do we have another poll question for the final hour
of the program.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
We do, Dan, If you're an NBA star, which shoe
brand are you signing with out of the gate Nike, Adidas,
under Armour a new balance.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know who could help us with this. Pat Bench
and sneaker reporter for Sports Illustrated, and he wrote an
article today and had to do with Steph Curry and
under Armoor have broken up. Kind of surprising this late
inness career. Pat joins us now on the program. If
you were, let's say, going into whatever sport and you
could pick a shoe company right now, who would you pick?

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Hey, Dan, thanks for having me. It would depend on
the sport. Honestly, I think the easy answer would be
Nike because they're top dog in America, But it would
certainly depend on the sport.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Okay, explain what happened here with Steph Curry that the
timing is kind of odd. I guess from the standpoint
of later in his career, he's not going to be
wired to wire here or close to it with under Armour.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
How come timing is incredibly odd? Just two years ago
Under Armour launched kur I'm sorry. Five years ago under
Armour launched Curry brand, and then in twenty twenty three
they signed a long term deal which had the potential
to be a lifetime contract. So we're two years into
what could have been a lifetime contract, but under Armours

(03:26):
undergoing major restructuring and then included spin off Curry Brand,
so Curry Brand is independent. Stephen Curry and his sneaker
company are now sneaker free agents. They'll be looking for
a new home.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't even know what they look like, and I
don't know if under Armour has basketball other basketball shoes
did did his shoes catch on.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Mixed results? Mixed results? So this is the latest shoe
he's wearing right now, Curry Series seven. We're still waiting
on the Curry thirteen, which will be his signature shoe
as part of a collaboration with under Armour. You know,
I think they started off strong, but I don't know
if they ever really recovered from a viral moment during
the twenty sixteen NBA Finals his brother Seth wore these

(04:13):
low talk Curry two lows and it was one of
the first real moments, I want to say, on Twitter
where it was like a sneaker viral moment, and I'm
not sure if they ever recovered it. But the signature
line certainly had its highlight moments and solid performance technology,
and it's honestly a little sad to see it come
to an end like this.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Can we clear up the whole Nike you know situation
where he has the meeting with Nike and I don't
know what year it was. I did ask Steph about
this and did somebody mispronounce his name? And was that
enough for him to decide to go elsewhere? What is fact?
What is fiction?

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Here?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Pat?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I think we're only going to know from the people
in that room. But Stephan started his career with Nike,
played his first four seasons, and then his first contract
came him to an end in twenty thirteen, and first
pitch was with Nico Harrison, who was at the time
a executive for Nike, had worked with Kobe Bryant and
all these other big shots in the NBA, and apparently

(05:13):
the meeting went terribly. Somebody mispronounced Stephan's name as Stephan.
Nico denied that. However, there was also a power point
which they copy and pasted Kevin Durant's information directly into
Stephen's presentation. And Nico he's only spoken about this like once,
I believe in a twenty twenty two podcasts, he didn't

(05:35):
address the PowerPoint situation, but he did deny mispronouncing Stephan's name.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
But in retrospect, did Steph Curry make a mistake not
staying with Nike.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's hard to say that because it was a perfect
one to two punts. She had the failed Nike meeting,
and then under Armour came in and offered way more money.
Under Armour offered four million to Nikes two and a
half million plus a signature shoe deal. Keep in mind,
Stephan Curry wasn't Stephan Curry at that time. There were
no major awards, no championships, and he was battling ankle injuries.

(06:09):
So it was a major investment, a major gamble by
under Armour, and it paid off in the short term.
But here we are more than a decade later, and
maybe it didn't pay off in the long term.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
How attractive is Steph Curry on the open market at
this stage of his career.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Incredibly attractive because it doesn't even matter his NBA career
could tomorrow, There's still going to be brands that want
to sign him. We've seen this with other athletes, with
Roger Federer leaving Nike for starting his own business or
investing heavily and on. So even if Deon Sanders went
from Nike under armoured Nike. So even after Stephan's done

(06:45):
playing basketball, he's going to be one of the biggest
names in the footwear industry. So he could take Curry brand.
He could find some investors. You know, he's in San Francisco.
I'm sure there's plenty of tech money out there that
can invest in his company. Or he could partner with
an existing brand. I think it's too late for us
to see the Nike Curry One or the Adidas Curry One,

(07:07):
but they're certainly Chinese brands that would immediately turn around
a signature shoe for Curry in no time.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Give me the most popular basketball shoes.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Now, Kobe Bryant's Restro Nike basketball shoes.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's number one.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
That's number one. It's not even close. For current active players,
it's an exciting season. There are three real big players
you need to watch. Anthony Edwards with Adidas Shake Gil
Just Alexander with Converse, John Morant with Nike. Those are
the three that you really want to watch this season.
They're really battling out and with the holiday season shaping up,
lots of jockeying, lots of marketing, it's really been fun

(07:46):
to watch for US sneaker nerds.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
But you got Sabrina iyron Escue. Her shoe model is
very popular. Is Caitlin Clark in that stratosphere?

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Sabrina has been an absolute trailblazer. Hershoe has transhimitted women's
basketball and it's the first women's shoe that has been
popular for men to wear, and that led to Asia
Wilson's first signature shoe being a smash hit. Kaitlyn Clark's
first signature shoe does not come out until twenty twenty six.
In the meantime, she's getting player exclusive color ways from

(08:18):
Kobe Bryant's Nike line, which in itself is a high honor.
But yeah, next year, the Kaitlyn Clark's first signature Nike
basketball shoe is going to be massive. So that's that's
gonna be something really exciting to follow in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Does Michael Jordan's estate get paid when Michael Jordan's gone?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yes, absolutely, so forever.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Uh yeah, I mean I'm not entirely sure with like
the intricacies of his contract, but absolutely, Like there are
royalties and Jordan brand is deeply tied to Nikes, So yeah,
that's going to go on forever. As long as the
sign continues to rise. Each day, Jordan's will sell and
the Jordan's the state will make money.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
What's the worst shoe?

Speaker 5 (09:05):
What's the worst shoe?

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Like the biggest failure?

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Oh goodness, Well, you know what. Instead of naming an
active player, let's look back at Kobe Bryant's third signature
shoe with Adidas that was never released. Following the two
thousand and two NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant traveled to Germany
and had an acrimonious breakup with the company, bought his
way out of the company and said, you know what,
y'all keep that third shoe and I'm going to just
be a sneaker free agent for the following season. And

(09:31):
I think he wore over one hundred different shoes, flirted
with Rebock Jordan brand, but at the end of the day,
it was Nike and that turned out to make history.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Do you have that shoe?

Speaker 5 (09:42):
No, I don't have the Kobe three. It never released. However,
there are collectors that have the prototype and Adidas has
since re released Kobe's old shoes rebranded, which is something
to watch because circling back to under Armour and Curry brand.
Under Armour earned owned Curry Brown logo, and I'm guessing

(10:03):
the footwear catalog as well. So I'm not sure how
the legal breakup went, and maybe Curry gets that in
the divorce, but that's gonna be something I'm sure they've
negotiated and that'll be something to follow up. Who gets
the Curry logo, who gets the twelve thirteen signature shoes?
So that's gonna be something really really interesting to follow

(10:23):
over the next year. I'm sure we'll find out more.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
And new balance to spend a lot of money here
with some big name athletes. Is it paid off?

Speaker 7 (10:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
I think so. They have Cooper Flag in the NBA,
They've got Cameron Brink in the WNBA, They've got Josh
Allen in the NFL, Hey Shohey Otani in Major League Baseball.
So yeah, they've got it going on. They've really got
a very talented roster Cocoa Golf in tennis, so and
when they want to, they can market at a very

(10:54):
high level. I think they missed an opportunity with Otani
in the World Series, but just last night they dropped
some gear for his MVP Awards, So New Balance is fine.
They're exciting and they've gotten an incredibly talented roster.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Pat, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yes, sir, thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's Pat Benson, sneaker reporter for Sports Illustrated Kicks on SI.
That's pretty cool, Joe. Yeah, I remember growing up that
I couldn't afford certain shoes, but I would wait till
somebody was done with those shoes and then I would add.
So I wore a pair of size fifteen Adidas.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
High Top Adidas.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
And they belonged to Donnie May who played it Dayton
played in the NBA, and I remember we played a
pickup game and he had the pro high Top Adidas
with gold stripes, and I asked him if I could
have his shoes. I think they were size fifteen and
I wear an eleven and a half, so you can imagine,

(12:00):
but they were so good. And then I remember that
there was a point guard at Eastern Kentucky Tyrone two
small Jones out of DC, and he had a size
nine and a half shoe and they were converse with
just the one star in the middle on both sides,
and I asked him if I could have a pair
of his, So.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I had nine and a half.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I had size fifteen, and I was collecting sneakers, but
they were somebody else's sneakers, which I wouldn't recommend. But
you know, at the time, those were pretty cool shoes.

Speaker 8 (12:35):
Yes, Marvin, when you started making money, did you buy
a pair of shoes like, man, I really wanted these
when I was a kid, because I do that now.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I bought the Adidas Superstars. I bought a pair that
They're white with green stripes, low cut, but I don't remember.
I wore Converse high tops throughout my career those Adidas.
Once again. You know the guy who created the Adidas

(13:05):
the Superstars, I think he's ninety and somebody reached out.
They listened to the show and they said, this guy's
still alive. If you want to talk to the guy
who created the Adidas Superstars, I'm like, no, I just appreciate,
you know, his.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Work of art.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
There great shoes, gorgeous shoes to me, best shoes ever made.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:25):
Point, there are so many things that become collectibles that
you would have no idea at the time would become
collectibles in nineteen eighty fourty five. If you said Michael
Jordan's first shoes, first couple of shoes. You should stick
them in a box and put them away and never
use them or crease them forever. You would never think
that the shoe industry never hadn't taken off yet. Can
you imagine if someone no one would have the wherewithal

(13:45):
to think of that ahead of them.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well, okay, but those Nikes, those mics that I have
back there, now, those are like recreation.

Speaker 9 (13:54):
It's a replica, replica, exact replica.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
But are they worth anything?

Speaker 9 (13:58):
No, well not no, but they're not original issue from
nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay, yeah, I have so much stuff in this place.
I got Barry Sanders autographed shoes over there. I'm guessing those.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Are worth something a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, I got Sergio Garcia autographed shoes. I think they're
worth something, yes, Dylan.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Well, they're like they'll re release shoes like periodically, so
like the Jordan ones that are there, they've re released
those countless times, and like that doesn't mean they're not
worth something. But obviously if you have original ones from
eighty five, those are oh okay, worth a lot. But
like they last year, they re released Ken Griffy's shoe
with Nike.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh, the air Griffy you know the Kobe brand though
that is stayed hot.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
Yes, Marv, Yeah, there's these shoes, the Kobe Grinches those
things and Dylan knows what those are. It is unbelievable
what those shoes go for on the open market, like, look,
I'll buy them from Nike dot com for one hundred
and sixty dollars, Like, hey, how do you much would
how much do you want to sell these for?

Speaker 7 (15:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
I want to pay my mortgage this month and people
will buy you. They're grinches, yep, grinch color. They were
green lime green, mm.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Hmm yeah yeah.

Speaker 9 (15:16):
Pulling About four years ago, there was an auction for
Michael Jordan's Year one shoes, the first Nike shoes that
were white, red and black, and they were game used
and autographed, so that really stokes it up as much
as you can. But they got creases because they were
game used. Went for five hundred and sixty thousand dollars
five years ago.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh, I'm surprised it didn't go for more.

Speaker 9 (15:35):
Yeah, and they're saying these shoes that was a good investment.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, I go back to when I was covering the
Bulls with those NBA Finals, those championships and every single
game clinching win by the Bulls. When Mike won a championship,
he signed his shoes, and you know, the PR person
for the Bulls came in and got those shoes. Mike siging.

(16:01):
When he hits the shot against the Utah Jazz. He
comes in, he's got a cigar, he's got basketball. He
takes his shoes off when he's sitting down on Sports
Center and we're going to do an interview, and the
Bulls person came in and Mike signed those shoes right
in front of me.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
So I saw that happening.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
And those shoes probably worth a couple of million dollars.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Now, yeah, Pauline, Uh yeah, you're right.

Speaker 9 (16:27):
They sold in twenty twenty four. I think we talked
about this briefly. Tim Hallam had six pairs of Michael
Jordan game used NBA Final shoes for the six were
autographed by Jordan. He put them away and sold him
as the entire batch four eight million dollars, eight million dollars.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
But I saw that last pair.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I saw right in front of me, and Mike is
covered with champagne shirt tails out and he's in his socks,
He's got his shoes. He signs the shoes. He's got
this big Cuban cigar. Phil Jackson sitting to the right
of me. He's going to come on right after Mike.
And I remember Tim came in and Mike signed him,

(17:14):
and I didn't think anything of it until I saw
them up for sale and I go, I think Tim's
going to make some money, yeah, PAULI.

Speaker 9 (17:22):
In the interview, Tim Hallam said he asked Jordan for
one of his two shoes after the first title. Jordan
game both and autographed it the next year. Hallam didn't
bring it up. Jordan said, we have a tradition and
being somewhat superstitious, Michael Jordan gave him again to tell
malm and continue to do so.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
And you know, Mike would always say with every NBA Finals,
I'll come in and talk to you after I win
the title. He would say that. He would say that
from the beginning. He didn't say if we win. He said,
when we win, I'll come in and I'll do the
interview with you on Sports Center. Because we didn't ask
for him if they would win Game three or game five,

(18:01):
it would be, and he never went to game seven,
so you'd get a Game six. And then Mike came
in every single time he said, I told you I
would do it when we win, and he would always
come in. All right, run a little bit late here,
let's take a break here. Back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
In the new drama series All Her Fault Is seemingly perfect,
families world is shattered when their young son goes missing,
streaming now only on Peacock, and I believe Sarah Snook
is the star. She was in succession. What was her
name in succession, Shiv Shiv Chivan. Yes, yes, yes, Paul.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
You kind of had a little pat summer Ale Murder,
she wrote, yeah, and on there were your voice and
that's a compliment.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Let me try that. Someone is guilty and no one
is innocent. The new drama series All Her Fault Murder,
She wrote that summer, by the way, got my haircut yesterday. No, no,
I mean, you know, I go to a woman right
around the corner from the man Cave. Known her a

(19:49):
long time, so I'm in there and uh, just having
conversation youah blah blah blah. Then she goes, where'd you
get your eyes done? And I said, like, I had
laser surgery. And then she goes, no, no, no, like
cosmetic surgery. I go, wait, you think I got surgery.

(20:10):
She goes, you had something done. I go, no, I didn't.
I'm not getting anything done. But I you know, I
guess it was a compliment, but it was just weird.
I go, I said, Lisa, I haven't anything done. She goes, well,
I'm going to do my eyelids. I just figured you
went to a good doctor and it looks great. I said,

(20:32):
I didn't get anything done. And then all of a
sudden there's other of the you know women who cut hair.
They're over there going but looks like it. You know,
I said I didn't get anything done. They said, well,
your skin looks really nice. What do you do? And
I said, I just drink beer. I don't know. They
go okay, So I'm sure that they're sitting there gossiping

(20:55):
about that I had something done and I didn't want
to admit to it.

Speaker 9 (20:59):
Yes, baumy two things. I think it's a compliment, but
it's also lightly improper to say yes. But I think
maybe you should go back to barbershops. Bros don't talk
like that at barbaras. Bros want to know about the
pitching rotation for the Mets. They won't ask you what
work you now.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I don't want to talk sports, though. I'm okay with
girl talk.

Speaker 9 (21:17):
You girls, Yes, I love it, Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yes, you know, cocktails, talking about you know, silly things,
real housewives. By the way, I watched Basketball Wives again
last night. I don't know whenever I stumble upon it,
you know, YouTube, will put your favorites up there. They've
got basketball wives up there.

Speaker 9 (21:41):
I would really like to see your favorites.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Th I know, Oh my gosh, there's some there's some
ones up there where you go. Okay, here's another one. Uh.
I watched this game the Hawks and the Jazz. Jalen
Johnson had thirty one eighteen fourteen and seven steam wills
last night. By the way, he's a really good kind

(22:05):
of quiet player, really good two way player. So just
give you an idea of what I was watching aside
from football.

Speaker 9 (22:13):
Yes, I can't let you break down Hawks Jazz on weekend.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
You're right, my beat, my bet. But with my new
cosmetic surgery, yes, dyling, I always thought you.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Got your butt done. I didn't know about that.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Well that he did there.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
He'll never the Brazilian butt lifts to live to tell about.
You know, in my family, the older you get, the
less you know, but you have like you know.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
You stopped that.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
I stopped it. You were like, I'll get it done.
I'm going to get a Brazilian butt.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Lift bringing the wagon back.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, that's what they want, that's what the ladies want
to see.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I didn't know you could get an eye job.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Well you can, I guess lifts or boatox.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
I guess maybe liked denial.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yes, Martin, your skin looks good. Thank you.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
Money is the best lotion.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I you know how I am with needles. I've passed
out when i've you know, given blood. So I couldn't
imagine there'd be like like botox when I see that,
and I'm like, no, I'm not going to get any
eye lift done or any of.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
That stuff, needles in the face.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yes, Todd, were you more flattered or did you feel
more like?

Speaker 10 (23:30):
Wow, that's pretty acusatory that she would just assume that
if you're even going to bring it up at all,
why would you say did you as opposed to just
assuming you did well?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
She she whispered to me, She's like, uh so, where'd
you get your work done? I said, what work? And
then she then I got kind of louder because I'm like,
I didn't get anything done. Now the other there's two
other hairdressers. They turn around and then now they're like
and then now everybody's got an opinion.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
Well, you made a scene by yelling.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well, it could have just whispered back. I didn't do anything, okay,
but she wasn't believing me.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yes, I mean I think that Isn't that the fallacy
of plastic surgeries. It's like you're not supposed to be
able to tell, but you always can.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
No, there's some that are well, okay, Martha Stewart, she
looks incredible.

Speaker 9 (24:20):
This is selling her out.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, she's admitted. Chris Jenner. Chris Jenner looks unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
That's almost like too weird. The Chris. She looks like
she's like seventeen, and she looks as young as her daughter's.

Speaker 10 (24:33):
Yes, time, I watch a lot of Wheel of Fortune,
Seacrest eyes for hiding behind the Hey, if you do it,
I'm not accusing and I and if you do it,
good for you.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Whatever makes you feel it does that.

Speaker 10 (24:44):
It bothers me a little bit, like to like deny
it if if you did it, and you're like no,
Just like with weight loss, if you're taking something, what's
the big deal?

Speaker 7 (24:50):
Yeah, I just eat apples and kale.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
And well, people don't you know, say I'm taking ozempic.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
They're like, no, I started a new workout regime, so you.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Lost forty pounds or two months?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Fantastic.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
I gotta get all that diet.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yes, Dylan, when I get my Turkish hair transplant, I
will be very vocal about I like it where it
came from.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yes, Yeah, it's better be happening soon. I've got a
couple of years left. If I wear a hat, you
have no idea, But I do have an idea. Yeah,
trucker hat doesn't work. To Fritzy is rooting for your hairline.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
You're catching Fritzy here.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
I don't have to be in the last place all
the time.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
How about most must win a game of the weekend.
Who wants to play first? Who's got the old Todd's
got his hand?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Okay?

Speaker 10 (25:35):
The five and four Steelers have lost three of their
last four games. They don't get things right at home
versus the Bengals, or they're gonna start sliding in the
division on the conference.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
All right, Dylan, the most must win game of the weekend,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Go Buffalo Bills hosting the Bucks and the division slipping
away from them, and the Pats aren't slowing down.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (25:53):
Marvin the Texas Longhorns against Georgia. They got to stay
in the playoff hunt, so that he got to win
the game.

Speaker 9 (26:01):
PAULI he took my Longhorn. So I'm gonna pivot to
the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, facing a wounded commander's team.
If somehow the Dolphins can win a couple can he
save his job?

Speaker 5 (26:13):
That's big thing.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't because I don't think they have a tough
schedule right, Like, there's three games they could actually win.

Speaker 9 (26:19):
They could get to eight wins this year.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
You're bringing in a new GM, the GM unless you
say you get the job. But you got to take
the coach and the quarterback. My most must win game
of the weekend is, of course, Notre Dame. Notre Dame
is a twelve and a half point favorite at Pitt.
They're begging you. Doesn't this feel like they're begging you

(26:46):
to take Pitt Dylan twelve and a half at home.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
If they are at work, because I took it and
a half. I think Notre Dame wins pit covers.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Okay, all right, that's the most must win game of
the weekend.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
How about who had the best week in sports?

Speaker 10 (27:02):
Todd Recncy Bias, Drake May and the Patriots eight straight wins.
They've won two of their last in the last four days.
Alone currently the number one seed in the AFC at
nine and two.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Dylan FC Tulsa Dan. They had a big one nothing
win against the one nil one nil on last weekend
over some team that I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Okay, so you're channeling Seating with the little soccer?

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Is it working?

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah? Great?

Speaker 8 (27:25):
Marvin Aeron Judge won his third MVP and he is
officially cemented as a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 9 (27:31):
All right, Paul, last year and the year before, they're
discussing replacements for this guy, Matthew Stafford. He's now at
twenty five touchdowns and two picks at age thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Danny in Salt Lake, Good morning, Danny, what's on your mind?
Hey Danny?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Danny Fresh in Milwaukee? Hi Fresh, what's up?

Speaker 11 (27:58):
DP and the Danny. He got a small bone to
pick with the NBA and want to give a big
shout out to the Sandman after word. But the bone
to pick is Matt McClung, three time dump champion, single
handily keeping the All Star Game going out of the
NBA again. I mean, come on, can we give him

(28:19):
yan his brother's position.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
He doesn't have a famous dad or a famous brother.
That's the problem with Mac, but thank you fresh. Uh,
Mike and Saint Louis. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind?

Speaker 6 (28:34):
He again, tell you guys do good great.

Speaker 12 (28:38):
Uh just want to send me back to Aaron Judge.
I think it's a little a known fact, but Aaron
Judge has a secret batty coach. His name is Richard Schick.
They call him teach out here at Saint Peter's and
uh just goes back, I say seventy eight nine years
and he's worked with him and basically teach would always

(29:01):
teach all the kids here. Team went, he's not very good.
You did play baseball at Truman, but he tried to
find out what makes a good swing and he studied
very Bonds. He because that's the best guy said that swing.
So basically he took Bonds a swing, taught everybody and
taught Judge. And he's a Finnish coach and he always
tells when he's struggling. Now the last two three years,

(29:23):
Judge isn't waiting to be struggling when he's like tuning
them up now like every two weeks, so he doesn't
get any bad habits.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Well, and thank you you got your plug in for
your guy there in Saint Louis. But Aaron Judge is
cut down on pitches that are outside the strikes and
like he's limiting the pitches he'll go after. And that's
really important because when you're younger, you know, it's more
free thinking, free swinging. And I mean, nobody mastered it

(29:53):
like Bonds did that. There was a window there and
that was it. He wasn't touching anything outside and if
he did touch it, it was gone.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Brandy and Iowa. Hi, Brandy, welcome back, Hey.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Dan, thanks for taking my call. Hey, I was watching
the Shoe Hart and I had a quick Air Force
one story. I'm a senior in eighty five eighty six.
I beg to get the Air Force ones, not just
the white ones. I had to get the red, white,
and black ones. Wear them through my senior year. They're
super cool to wear. I'm done with playing basketball and

(30:30):
that summer I grew up in rural Iowa. I actually
wore my Air Force ones to walk beans all that
summer towards the end of the year. And every time
I go down there, and I was just down we
go by that field. Every single time, I'm reminded by
my buddy, Hey, you remember when you walk beans in
those Air Force ones, I bet you wish you had

(30:50):
those red, white and black ones.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Back again, what do you mean walk walking beans.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
So they grow beanfields? And back back in the day
before things changed, we used to hire crews and you
would walk the beanbros cutting out the weeds individually with machete.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh my god, uh thank you, Brandy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
If I got shoes, I played in the shoes like
I never, and I have friends that they get them
and then they do like sebtle Fan, They just wrap
up the shoes. They don't even open up the box.
I got a friend who does that with watches. He
buys all these rolexes, he does not wear them. He's
got a safe that's six feet high full of rolllexes.

Speaker 9 (31:32):
What'ses that dress?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
It doesn't wear them. He probably has a watch collection
that would rival John Mayer, and John Mayer probably has
as good a watch collection of anybody in America. And
this guy just buys high end watches and then he
doesn't wear them.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I go why he goes? I mean, it's really a sickness.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Like he has to have these watches, but he doesn't
wear them.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Yes, Marv, I feel bad because I've passed on kind
of not a sneaker addiction. But so in twenty fourteen,
my wife was pregnant, I bought shoes that you know, Lorenzo,
my son he's fitting into now. I bought them in
twenty fourteen, and now his teacher was like, where'd you
get those? He's like, I don't know, my dad got him.
I was again in twenty fourteen, like you just want
those things because it is depressing to buy a pair

(32:19):
of shoes like, man, I may never get these ever again.
So when the retros started re releasing shoes like Jordan
and Nike, yes, because I wanted these shoes when I
was nine and now I can have them again. So
it is nostalgics undefeated. So that's why Jordan does so.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, maybe you're making too much money here?

Speaker 3 (32:37):
What's that? Now?

Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm all right, how about we take a break here.
It's a meat Friday. I'm looking out in uh Tragerville
and the turkey is coming out of the tragger. So
let's head out there. We'll take a break, and we'll
be back. Last call for phone calls. What we learned

Skeen set to join us now sometime next week as well.

Danny, Hello, Hey, thanks for thanks for taking me back.
I was on row one of Game six of the
nineteen ninety eight finals with Jordan's last shot and if
you look at the Jordan's fantous lash shot, you look
next to Karl Malone's head. I'm the one directly to
the right of him. But I have I went with

(39:22):
the owner of the Ukah Jazz to that game. So
I have a full VIP row one ticket to that
game that's in mint condition. And I was looking up
what the value of this would be and if Jordan,
if Jordan were to sign this ticket, it says it
would be worth about two to five million dollars just

(39:47):
because I have that ticket. It's the only there's no
other full tickets. Plus I have all of the passes
to all access passes.

Speaker 2 (39:54):

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
