Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on this Tuesday. We'll talk to Luke Kuechly,
Hall of Famer, Netflix analyst. He'll join us coming up
in a little bit. 877-3DP-SHOW, operator. Tyler's sitting by. He'll
take your phone calls through the final hour of the program.
Todd is back. He's got a bandage on his hand, finger,
and really an incredible comeback story for the ages.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
They tell me to take the week off. I'm like,
I got to go back. Dan's not going to put
up with that. He's had all kinds of surgeries and
then he comes back the same day.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I know. Not that I should have, by the way.
I just didn't want to sit home. Oh, big night
last night. I mentioned that last hour. Tonight's a big night.
We open up the envelope to find out exactly how
much the wedding cost us. So, yeah, that's going to
be a big, big, big event with my wife and I.
I'm sure there'll be tears shed. not tears of joy. Like,
(00:58):
I'm going to have to work another year after that. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Have you considered just burying it in the yard and
not looking at it?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I said to her, I don't want to know, hon.
I'm okay. Last night, I promised my wife that I
would try to watch The Matrix, and I got 23
minutes in, and then that was it. Now, not because
I didn't like it. I just can't sit still. And
she said, where are you going? I said, I'm going
(01:27):
to watch Dateline. I'm going to smoke a cigar, have
some tequila. Maybe, you know, tonight we'll get back, you know,
to watching The Matrix. I promise I'll finish it. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
The 30-minute TV episode really was built for you because
it's actually like, aren't they 22 minutes long? That is
truly like that's where you kind of top out, I
feel like.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Or if I'm watching an episode of Reacher... Then that'll
be two days that I'll get it like, you know,
22 minutes and then I'll come back and get it,
you know, like 30 minutes and get that taken care of.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So Todd is here. Heroic effort. Dylan in the back row. Marv,
Big Day Ray is sitting in the chair because Pauly
is getting ready for day two of Pabst and Perloff.
I thought it was one and done. And now I'm
finding out they're going to do it every single day.
And the response has been great. Their first show. And
it's noon to one. Eastern on Peacock and NBC Sports Now.
(02:27):
All right, Dylan, poll question for hour three is going
to be what?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, if you were in line to inherit a large
sum of money, would you coast or still work every day?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh, I would have worked every day. Even if I
won the lottery now, I mean, I'd still continue to work. But,
I don't know, you kind of grow up in that
environment that, you know, it's programmed. Now, if you grow
up in a different environment, then you'd probably react differently. Say,
going around the country, I'm going to go live in
(03:02):
another part of the world. Yeah, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I grew up, both my parents worked, so they both
had a strong work ethic. I just don't know if
it transferred.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I would agree with you. I think when you want
to put your mind to it, that you can work hard.
But I mean, you did do construction on this building.
So when we're building this out, you were part of
the construction crew with Marvin, also Jay, the big German.
(03:40):
So you had to have a work ethic to help
build this place out because I gave you guys three
months to make this look like a man cave, which
was not fair to you guys. This was a six-month job.
No doubt about it. And I remember we did our
last show at the other man cave. And the big
(04:00):
German said, when do you want to have our first show?
And I said, three months. And he goes, okay.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
And.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't know if Eric had hair back then, but
he's bald now. But I just remember I said three months,
and I had a friend of mine who helped build
the other man cave. And he said, how much time
are you giving the big German? I go, three months.
He goes, three months to finish what? I go, the
whole thing. He goes, oh, my gosh. And he did
(04:33):
it right to the day. The day before we did
our first show, we had this thing up and running,
looking good. I had a lot of people. Remember, we
cut down the nets that last day. Well, some of
us did.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You couldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Todd complained that we didn't have left-handed scissors.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, you did not provide a lefty scissor, which is
important for the lefty.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But if you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Now,
Todd is going up the ladder of the old man
cave and doesn't realize that if you pull on the net,
It makes it easier to clip the net.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You have to make a nice and taut, I guess.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yes, indeed. I thought I taught you the correct way.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I thought it was an accomplishment just getting up the
stairs there on the little stool.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Forget about actually cutting anything.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know what this is leading to other than
work ethic. Is that what we're talking about? Yes, Todd.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
I will say that if you have the financial means
to chase your dreams and take risks and everything and
not worry about failure or that someone is counting on you,
including yourself, for money, that's got to make it a
lot easier to go after things knowing that worst-case scenario,
I've got millions of dollars waiting for me to inherit.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That might have been an obvious point, but I think
it should be said in actual.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Words out loud. Most of your points are obvious points.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The Toddcast today... Oh, my goodness. Get ready for that.
You know, I had somebody say to me, hey, you
need to warn people not to have their wife or
kids in the car. And I try to give you
a disclaimer. Do not listen with your wife or kids
in the car when you're listening to the podcast or
the gambling podcast. Just letting you know, kind of free flowing.
(06:16):
Dylan is the therapist with Todd. He sits, he's lying
down for an hour listening. and just getting things off
his chest.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
He's not making much progress with the therapy.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
None, actually.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
It's nothing worse than they're going to hear at school anyways.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I don't want to be the one that is delivering
it to them. They can hear it at school, not
from me. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Next Saturday, Premier League. It's Hull City and Aston Villa.
Both clubs look to make a statement when they kick
off at 1230 Eastern on NBC. and Peacock. Here's something
(06:52):
random today. NFL cut down day on Sunday, we realized
the Dolphins are bad. They are probably going to be
in competition with the Cardinals for worst record. Probably over
under three and a half. The Dolphins claimed seven players
off waivers. They have $ 182 million in dead cap money
(07:14):
in 2026. So they're paying that The player's no longer
on the team. And you start to go, how do
you get this bad? And then you bring in Malik Willis. Now,
I like Malik Willis. I was hoping he would have
gone to the Steelers if Aaron Rodgers didn't come back.
(07:35):
I think he's got potential. So he goes to the Dolphins. Well,
he wants to prove, and by the way, Dolphins got
an unbelievable quarterback-friendly deal. Three years, he's going to make around, what,
$ 20 million a year, something like that. It's a team-friendly deal.
But I like what they're doing to bring in Malik
(07:55):
Willis because they will draft a quarterback, and then Malik
Willis will be there probably for two years. And then
maybe you turn the reins over to Dante Moore, Arch Manning.
You have the second-hardest schedule in football this year. And
I wouldn't have gone with Malik Willis. I probably would
(08:16):
have said, let's just keep Quinn Ewers. I mean, let's
just throw somebody out there. Let's get through the season.
I think their GM said that success is not about
wins this year.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I might be paraphrasing that, but the Dolphins are going
to be really bad. And then you start to look
at the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes. I went
back and looked at the 2020-23 season. Don't ask me why.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
They won the Super Bowl, and I'm just curious of
turnover with great teams. Here's the Dolphins with turnover, and
they're terrible. Here are the wide receivers that the Kansas
City Chiefs, they average, I think, just over 29 points
a game regular season, put up 38 in the Super Bowl.
(09:11):
Highest scoring offense in football. There's no Tyreek Hill here.
Their wide receivers are Juju Smith-Schuster. Not on a roster
this year. Justin Watson, not on a roster. Marquez Valdez-Scantling,
not on a roster. Kadarius Toney, not on a current roster.
Nicole Hardman, not on a roster. Sky Moore is on
(09:33):
the Packers. Running backs. Isaiah Pacheco, no longer there. Jarek McKinnon.
Ronald Jones Jr. III. Clyde Edwards-Hilaire. Patrick Mahomes pulled off. Now,
they did have Kelsey, but this is Tom Brady. Brady
had Gronk and interchangeable parts at wide receiver. That is
(09:59):
an incredibly... underrated performance by Patrick Mahomes. And he might
have to do that again this year. Now, they do
have some players you are least aware of, but they
average 29 a game, but highest scoring offense, and they
put up 38 winning the Super Bowl with that receiving core.
(10:20):
Because when they traded Tyreek Hill, we're probably all in
unison going, oh my God, what are they doing? Well,
they knew what they were doing. That's a testament to Mahomes.
Certainly that front office, I guess, entrusting him. I would
prefer that my front office gave me really good players
(10:41):
instead of, hey, this is all we got. Do your best.
And they won the Super Bowl that year.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yes, Dylan. it's like the curse of being the best
where they're like, you can make it work with these guys.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And then that's what they give you. But this year, this,
I feel like this is the quietest year for the
chiefs going into the season that it's been in a bit.
Obviously it's been kind of trending downwards, but like the
chiefs at 16 to one to win the super bowl.
I don't hate that. Obviously that division's gotten a little tougher.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But well, you know, I like that they got Walker there,
but you know, Chris Jones is another year older. Um,
You got rid of McDuffie, went to the Rams. Kelsey's
a year older. You know, the offensive line will be healthy, healthier.
That'll help. But, you know, Creed Humphrey, he's been there
(11:35):
a while. Man, when you find yourself a center, you're like,
hold on for dear life. Like when the Raiders got
Tyler Lindenbaum, I went, what an unbelievable pickup. And I remember–
Talking to a friend of mine, he's like, wait, a center?
And I go, oh, my God, with a rookie quarterback?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Having somebody got experience?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Let me get a couple of phone calls in here.
Luke Keekly will stop by. Let's see. Max in South Carolina.
Good morning, Max. What's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Morning, Dan. How you doing?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Great, great, great.
Speaker 11 (12:13):
First time, long time, 5'9, slim, 250. Hey, all this
talk about Southern Cal, what I want y'all to do
this weekend is focus your attention to the real USC
in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Williams-Brice is going to be swaying.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
It's going to be about 95 degrees, 100% humidity, about 70,000-plus.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Fritzie, get better. Go Cocks. Okay.
Speaker 11 (12:43):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, when I've been down in South Carolina, if I've
gone down to see Hootie and the Blowfish– And then
if you say USC, they think you're talking about South Carolina.
And I went down there with my son for a
Hootie and the Blowfish golf tournament, and he was telling
everybody he went to USC. And then he realized that
they thought he went to South Carolina. He goes, no, no,
(13:05):
I went to the USC. I said, you don't have
to do that. It's okay. Let South Carolina have their
victory here. You're okay. South Carolina plays Kent State week one. Yes, Mark.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
But your son's not wrong nationally. Somebody says, where'd you go? USC. No,
one's going to say South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You're right. You're right. Uh, Aiden in Utah, Aiden. Morning DP.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
It's been a long time since I called in.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Good to see you guys. Good to see you for it.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
See that you made it off your deathbed.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Listen, I got, Hey, by the way, we, we did
get the wedding invitation and, uh, I did talk about
it on the show. Uh, so just want to let
you know that, Thank you for the invitation. Of course,
of course, DP.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
I missed like two weeks of the show after my wedding.
I also realized that I didn't put a return address
on the letter. My first time sending a physical letter, Dan.
So you've got to let me buy on that.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I've got a pie to the face bet.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
The Rams will not make the NFC championship.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Ooh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Okay, anybody want a piece of Aiden in Utah, newly married,
the Rams don't make it to the NFC title game? Ooh, Dylan,
all right.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I think they lose in the NFC title game.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, that's not the bet.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
No, he's saying they don't make it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, so I think they'll make it and then they
lose in that game, so I will take the bet.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Wait, you're taking the bet?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, but he said that they won't make it to
the title game.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No, I think they'll make it to the title game
and then lose in the title game.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
But, okay, he says they, do you understand what the
bet is?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Aiden says they won't make it to the NFC title game.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yes, I think they will. So I will take the bet,
and then I add it on saying I think that
that's when they lose is in the title game.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Aiden, you okay? Dylan's going to take you up on that.
Makes sense to me.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Thank you, Aiden.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Joe in Iowa. Hey, Joe, what do you have for
me today?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hi, Dan.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
I was so touched and inspired by Todd's harrowing experience
yesterday that I came up with a little ditty to
the tune of the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
I don't know if you're familiar with that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Oh, yes, I am.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
All I have is just a chorus, real short.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Here we go.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Pauly in the front row, dun-dun. Marvin in the front row, dun-dun.
Dylan in the back row, Fritzy sucks.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Love you, Fritzy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I was bopping along to that till the end there.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
He set me up.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
He thought he was going to say something nice about it.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, this is a cute little ditty he came up with,
very creative, and then he took a shot.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Blitzkrieg bop. I never got the Ramones.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
Sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
No? No, no.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I just thought that they were like a novelty and like, okay.
Although Bono talks about being inspired by the Ramones. I'm
sure there are a lot of people, bands inspired. I just,
once again, as a Zeppelin snob, Stones, who's snob, you know,
the Ramones. Okay.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm just saying, I'm just letting, I'm being honest with it.
I thought the Ramones were like, okay, like Joey Ramone.
And I know the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Give me the Ramones over U2 any day of the week.
And twice on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
You too?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Not.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Good?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Really? They were the biggest band in the world for
a while.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
They were never the biggest band in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yes, they were. They're big. They were the biggest band
in the world. When they were doing those stadium tours,
come on.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Everyone does stadiums now.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm not going to do this today.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'm not going to do this today.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
It is early in the week.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
How about we take a break? The Hall of Famer
Luke Keekly. What, Marvin?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Who gets you angrier, Dylan or Todd?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Well, I'm used to Todd. But Dylan likes to do this.
Todd's not mean-spirited.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I don't intend to poke you, but Dylan definitely.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Goes in there and pokes the bear.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, Dylan does. Dylan does. Let me take a break here.
Luke Keekly's going to join us next.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I like The Clash. I'm just, I thought the Ramones
were kind of a novelty band. That's all. Doesn't make
me a bad guy because I don't, you know, like
punk rock. The Beatles created punk rock with Helder Skelter.
Go back and listen to that. Tell me about punk rock, knucklehead.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I'll give The Clash more credit in the punk rock
department than The Beatles.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The Beatles helped create it. Go back and listen to
Helter Skelter.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And they did that in the 60s. Oh, my God. What, Marvin? Sorry, DP.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Chad GPT said, in 2009, U2 reinforced their status as
the biggest rock band in the world through their launch
of their massive.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
U2 360 Tour. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Was that before or after they downloaded that terrible album
onto everyone's phone?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
He's Luke Kuechly, Hall of Famer, Netflix lead game analyst.
I don't know if you want any part of this.
We're fired up here, Luke. I'm ready to play a game.
Getting kind of feisty in here. Do you miss hitting people?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I miss being in a locker room. I don't miss
hitting people. I think being on the game, on the
field in four games the past couple years, you see
guys run by and you decide you don't want anything
to do with those guys, the running backs, the offensive linemen.
Even the receivers feel like they've gotten bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I tell people, if you want to see a football game,
if you can watch it from the sidelines, you'll have
a whole different appreciation for what that game sounds like
and how fast it is. I don't know if you
had that feeling, you're welcome to the NFL moment. What
was that like?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well, you know what's interesting? You talk about watching it
from the field. You don't ever listen to the game
or hear the game or feel the game when you're playing,
but during 2020 that was my first year when i
was done playing i worked with the panthers in the
front offices and i was on the field for some
of those games and there was no one in the
stands to start the year so you could hear everything
(20:19):
every hit every sound every time a guy puts his
foot in the ground and makes a cut and you
start to realize like how did i how did i
play out here during this game for that long because
guys are it's it's fast it's physical um And I'm
glad that I was on the sideline at that point.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Do you have that welcome to the NFL moment?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yeah, it was Michael Robinson. So my rookie year, we
played Seattle at home. It was my first game playing
at inside backer. And Russell Wilson escapes from the pocket.
I'm in zone coverage.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I drop.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
He starts running towards the line of scrimmage. And I
feel like I have a clean shot on him. I've
got a great angle. I'm running right at him. I
think I'm going to make a big hit. And at
the last second he cuts to my left, I turned
my head and Mike Robinson, number 26 is running full
speed at me. And Russ, Russ had kind of set
me up. I didn't see Mike Robinson and he smacked me.
(21:17):
And the first thing I remember is being on the ground.
And I remember looking up at him and he had
a big smile on his face. And it was, it
was early on. That was probably, I think that was
probably week three or week four. And you realize the
game happens a lot faster than it used to in college.
And when I see Mike to this day, there's still
that little smirk that he's got on his face because
(21:39):
he knows that he got me pretty dang good.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
If you didn't go to BC, where were you going?
Speaker 8 (21:45):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Stanford, Duke, and Virginia were the schools, in addition to
Boston College, that I looked really hard at. Stanford was
probably you know, right up there. That was Harbaugh and
Andrew Luck and that whole crew. And then Coach Cutcliffe
at Duke. I really liked him. He was a great man,
(22:07):
a great football coach. But BC was always home for me.
But I think Stanford with Harbaugh and Duke with Cutcliffe
were two places that would have been good options for me.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
But growing up, you know, in Cincinnati, Ohio State recruit you?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Not really. You know, when I was being recruited, I was–
I was small. I was skinny. I wasn't very big.
And quite frankly, if I was recruiting people out of Cincinnati,
I probably wouldn't have recruited me if I was Ohio
State either.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Really?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
No, I was a little, I was a 200 pound
linebacker that was taking biology class and chemistry class, carried
a lunchbox around. So I don't really blame anybody for
not recruiting me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Wait, you had a lunchbox?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Was it a themed lunchbox?
Speaker 11 (23:00):
It was.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
You know what? I was fortunate that when I went
to school, I have two brothers and my mom would
wake up and make breakfast and make lunch lunches for
us every day. And it was a very well-balanced lunchbox.
She did a great job. So, yes, I don't know
if the lunchbox itself was themed, but what was inside
of it was very much themed. All right.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So Luke and Netflix game day kicks off with the
game down under in Melbourne. It'll be shouldn't you be
leaving for Australia now?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Yeah, we're leaving. We leave we leave us on Sunday.
So I've been trying to wrap my head around it.
We leave on a Sunday and I think we get
there on a Tuesday because they're they're ahead of us.
Plus the time change in the flight. It took me
a second to kind of wrap my head around. how
all that works. But yeah, we're leaving soon. We leave
on Sunday of this week.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Okay. So that'll be coverage starting at 6.30 Eastern kickoff
at 8.30 Eastern next week. Are you expecting Aaron Donald
to be in Australia?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
That would certainly make it more exciting. Honestly, I think
it would be really cool if he played. I think
what I think about with this whole thing is, you know,
running's great. Agility is great. You watch all the videos
of him and him training. He looks phenomenal. I think
the one question that I would ask myself is what
happens when people start leaning on you? I think that's
(24:29):
probably the biggest thing. If I were to go back
and play after not playing for two years, how were
you able to brace for impact? How are you able
to mimic contact to the speed at which it's going
to happen in the game? So I think for the
game sake, I would love for him to play. I
think it adds a tremendous amount of storylines and him
(24:49):
and Miles Garrett and how the rest of the defense
line benefits from him being in the game. But I
think if you're the Rams, you got to figure out
what's the best long-term approach for having him part of
that team, you know, when they make a push in December, January.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
How does Aaron Donald impact the linebackers on the Rams
with him back?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
All right. Good luck getting up to him. You know,
I think if you're Nate Landman and That crew right there,
you're running clean to the football. Let's be honest. It's
Aaron Donald. It's Miles Garrett, Kobe Turner. And then the
one guy that's going to benefit the most from this
is Byron Young. You've got to block those big– and
Braden Fisk. You've got to block those big guys up
(25:30):
front before you get to the second level. So if
you're those Rams linebackers, you're just sitting there smiling, knowing that, hey,
they've got to block these monsters before they get.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
Up to us.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You sacked Stafford before?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I didn't even get near him. Nope, not anywhere close
to them. My pass rushing skills were very minimal.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
How many sacks did you have in your career?
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Man, I think I had 12. And two or three
or four of them were clean to the football. So
that requires zero pass rush ability.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Who did you get that you go, I can tell
my grandkids?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Man, well... In the Super Bowl, Sean McDermott caught a
great blitz, and I got Peyton Manning. And that required, again,
zero skill. The biggest thing you have to do is
you make sure you get him on the ground. I
was clean right up the middle to Peyton Manning, and
the hardest thing is to not miss him. So that'd
(26:30):
be my most memorable quarterback sack.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You know, we look at those teams that lose the
Super Bowl and we used to label like you were
a disappointment, like the Buffalo Bills went to four consecutive
Super Bowls. I said, why are we celebrating that you
got to the Super Bowl? I know you guys got embarrassed,
but what's it like in that game that everybody's watching
you and everybody's going to have some kind of opinion
(26:58):
about you or your team after something like that?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I think everybody's going to have an opinion regardless if win, lose, draw,
how the season went. But I don't think that that season,
when you look back on it and you get perspective
and the further away that team gets from that game,
I think we realize how special that year was, how
fun the OTAs were, the off-season training camp, the journey
(27:26):
through that season into the playoffs, two playoff games at home,
the energy that in the city, in the Carolinas, and
have the opportunity to play in a Super Bowl, I
think was super special. Obviously, you want to win that game,
and that's the ultimate goal playing football, but I think
the memories and the opportunities we had that season and
(27:49):
the players that we put on that team that the
front office did a great job is what made that
season special. I don't think it's defined by one game
or you know, the disappointment of not winning the Super Bowl.
I think for us, it was more how special that
team was, how fun that team was, how special that
group was together. And I think when you look back
(28:09):
on it, that's the positive that really came from it.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
You think Cam Newton will be a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I think he should be just, and I get to
see it on a daily basis, but I don't think
for that stretch there that Cam had, I don't think
there was a more dominant player when you walked out
on the field in cam and I think, you know,
his ability to affect the game throwing and obviously running
(28:35):
the ball, short yardage goal line in walking out for
coin tosses for teams that we didn't play a whole
lot and watching those guys walk out and look at cam.
It's like, it's like they had no idea he was
that big. And it looked like he got 10 times
bigger when he, when he was in his uniform because
(28:57):
he had the rib pads and the shin pads and
the hair and the wristbands. And he just got bigger
and bigger as game day approached.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Because that following year, didn't you open up with Denver
in Denver?
Speaker 13 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And I remember the Broncos beat the hell out of
Cam in that game. They were lining him up and
pounding him. And I just kept remembering it. Being on
the field and seeing how big he was and realizing
what these defensive players were doing to him, they pounded
(29:33):
him that night and kept getting back up. But after
a while, those hits take their toll. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
He's, he's, we always joked that he was made of concrete, that,
that you, he was like a pillar out there. You
just hit him and hit him and he just keeps,
he keeps getting back up. But I think it's a
testament to number one, his toughness and number two is
competitive drive and, who he is as a person. And
(30:02):
a lot of stuff that Cam did, we kind of,
it's just Cam being Cam. And then when you think
about it, you start to realize how special what he
did for that team was.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Calling a game now. It's one thing to watch when
you're at home with your buddies, but you know, you're
going to be there with Noah Eagle. You got to
get in and get out, get in, get out. Like
you have a, finite amount of time that you go,
I got 15 seconds here, or I got 12 seconds here?
How do you work mentally of being an analyst?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Well, I think you start to just understand that, hey,
I have a job and I have a teammate, Noah's
your teammate. And you start to realize that I have
to do my job in a way that allows Noah
to do his job. So I think quick, in and out, concise,
get your point across, make it digestible and understandable. And
then and then get out and allow Noah to do
(31:00):
his job as well. He's phenomenal. He's so easy to
work with. He sets you up great. And then it's
my job, like you said, to get in, get my
point across, get my point articulated, and then allow Noah
to set the play up and do what he does
best as well. So I think that's what makes it
fun is the teamwork aspect of that booth.
Speaker 11 (31:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
But is this any different than what you did defensively
where get in, get out of the huddle or make
your call. Then there's the play. Now regroup, get in,
get out, get ready for the next play.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
I think in a sense, yes. The procedure, I think,
is a little bit different because in the game, I
think you're digesting. I get a play call in my ear.
And then I've got to relay it to the guys
in the field. And then I, like you said, I
(31:51):
got to break the huddle and turn around and digest
what's going on. So you're kind of thinking all the
way up to the snap as far as, as a
player versus I think in the booth, you're, it's more
of reactionary. And then, Hey, based on what happened on
the field, what can I give the viewers to help
educate them, give them further context versus while you're playing,
(32:13):
it's like, all right, Hey, What do I like out
of our menu on third and sixth? What did I
watch during practice and during tape that allows me to
have success? Maybe what do I need to tell the
guy next to me? Maybe Thomas is telling me something different.
So I think it's more of a living organism while
you're playing because there's 10 other guys that you're working
(32:34):
with versus in the booth. I think it's, you know,
it's one of my first times doing it. So I'm
still trying to figure it out a little bit as well,
but it's more of a, what I saw, let me
give somebody something quick that they can chew on, get
in and get out, and then let Noah do his
job as well.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Wait till like three years, two years, and you listen
back to this and then you'll go, oh my gosh,
because we all do it. I went back to my
early SportsCenter days. I'm going, oh my God, so bad.
But it's part of the evolution, the progress, the process
of it. So And you've got a great person to
(33:13):
set you up. The key is with play-by-play, they can
make or break you. And you've got Noah who learned
from his dad. He's going to put you in a
position to succeed. And, you know, that'll help you instead
of you scrambling to go, I got nine seconds here.
I can't say anything. Noah will be very good at
being brief with his comments to give you, you know,
(33:35):
that room for opportunity. And so it'll be fun for you.
At least I hope it will be. And don't read
social media. Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Stay off. I told JJ Watt that I said, dude, don't,
don't be on. He goes, no, why not?
Speaker 11 (33:50):
I go, okay.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
He goes, I can take it. I said, all right, well,
you're tougher than I can. I don't want to know
what social media is going to say. They're never happy
about anything, Luke.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
I think, you know, you kind of learn it as
a player. You can always find whatever you want on
social media.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
If you think you're the greatest thing, you can find
somebody that says you're the greatest thing. If you want
to find somebody that says you stink, if you look
hard enough, you can find that too. If so, it's
one of those things, whatever you want social media to say,
you can find it and filter it and figure it out.
So like you said, I think I'm lucky to have
(34:27):
Noah in there because he's so good and he has fun.
He's got a great personality and he's quick and, um,
I'm certainly looking forward to it. I think it's going
to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Good to talk to you. Again, congratulations on the Hall
of Fame, Luke.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Luke Keekly, Hall of Famer, Netflix lead game analyst, former
NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and first-round pick, ninth
overall out of Boston College. It's one of those where
you see somebody and you go, how did he end
up there? And then you realize he wasn't ready for
the Ohio State or some of these other programs. Plus,
(35:06):
he wanted to get an education. That pesky education. What
are you doing getting an education? Yes, Ray?
Speaker 8 (35:13):
His career is honestly unbelievable.
Speaker 12 (35:15):
He's made an All-Pro every single year besides his rookie season.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
In his rookie year, he won Defensive Rookie of the
Year and had 164 tackles.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Arguably his best year.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yes, Dylan?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah, when his other school options were Virginia, Duke, and Stanford,
I'm like, I'm sensing a trend here.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
We'll take a break. Last call for phone calls, what
we learned, what's in store tomorrow. And again, a round
of applause for Fritzie, one of the great heroic efforts
I've ever seen. He made it back after life-threatening surgery.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
We're back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best
sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our
shows at foxsportsradio.com. And within the iHeartRadio app, search FSR
to listen live.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Maybe you have somebody else who offered up punk before
the Beatles did with Helter Skelter. I'm all ears if
that's the case. Somebody can point to somebody else. But
I think that Helter Skelter to me is punk rock.
And the Beatles did that before anybody else. I don't
know what chat GPT says, but if we could do that,
(36:23):
see if they have. Who was the first to provide
punk music? Yes, Dillian.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
So the proto-punk pioneers, the Stooges and MC5, Velvet Underground,
the New York Dolls, and then this section that says
codifying the genre, Dan, you're Ramones.
Speaker 11 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
No, they were punk. I get it. But the Beatles
were before New York Dolls, Iggy and the Stooges, MC5, Beatles.
Did the Beatles create punk music, punk rock?
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I still would lean Sex Pistols and The Clash.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
But they were well after The Beatles.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Yeah, but The Beatles, just because you could have like
a punky sound.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
They created the punk sound before anybody else. Maybe they
only did it once, but did they create it? Did
anybody else have anything close to Helter Skelter? Back in
the 60s.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
I mean, didn't everyone steal everything from Chuck Berry anyways?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
This isn't Chuck Berry. Yeah, they did steal a lot
from Chuck Berry. They acknowledged that they were taking it
from Chuck Berry. He was an idol of theirs. Just
like Keith Richards, same way. Helter Skelter, that's different.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
Mary? Fine.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Fine, I'll allow it.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yes, Mark.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
We need another music guest then.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's never fun when I argue with Dylan because when
I win, I don't feel like I've won. I'm teaching
my son things in life, and he goes kicking and screaming.
You don't want to hear it.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
I'll die on the U2 hill again.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
You said they weren't the biggest band in the world
at any point. They were. They were the biggest band
in the world. You may not like them, which you don't,
but they were the biggest band in the world. Chris
in LA.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Hi, Chris.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Good morning, Dan.
Speaker 13 (38:30):
You know, I just wanted to help put a bow
on this USC Coliseum game because that picture did look horrible.
But I think there's a multitude of factors. One was
the blistering heat. I mean, it's been hot out here
beyond normal for three weeks. And I was even going
to go to the game. And tickets were cheap. They
(38:50):
were like $ 11 a day before. But I said, I'm
not going to sit in those plastic hot seats in
the Coliseum. pay $ 80 for parking just.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
To see San Jose State.
Speaker 13 (39:02):
So I think a lot of it is 80% probably
the heat. It would be like Michigan having a record
snowstorm and expecting people to show up.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
They would show up. This isn't a record heat wave.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
It's hot.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
They show up. Look at Buffalo, Ohio State, Michigan. They're
going to show up no matter what the weather is.
It's just Los Angeles, there's other things to do. I
get that. Don't put out an apology.
Speaker 10 (39:29):
Though.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Jared in Iowa. Hi, Jared. What do you have for
me today?
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Hey, Danny. I felt compelled to call you today because
of your conversation with Kyle Long. Really kind of hit
home with me today and I appreciate you talking about
your struggles in the past. You mentioned to Kyle today
about times where he didn't want to get out of bed.
(39:57):
I've been there and still fighting through it. I'm a
Bears fan. I'm a 45-year-old dude and I didn't know
Kyle dealt with that either, but he was always my guy,
as was his dad, and I love his brother Chris too.
But no, I appreciate that conversation today. It meant a
lot to me, and hopefully it meant a lot to
(40:20):
anybody else that's struggling with that.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Thank you, Jared, and good luck. Yeah, when I finally
broke down and told my wife that I'd just gone
through this depression... And I didn't know what it was.
I had never experienced it. And then she said, talk
about it on your show. Maybe you can help somebody.
It turns the light on for somebody. And I'm like, oh,
(40:43):
my God. And then you just do it. You know,
it's like put your ego to the side.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
You know, do something that maybe helps somebody. And hopefully
we did. It's like when Bo Jackson came on and
talked about, you know, cancer, prostate cancer. Thanks for joining
us for Fritzie, Dylan, Marv, Paulie, and Big Day Ray.
We'll talk to you tomorrow.
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on this Tuesday. We'll talk to Luke Kuechly,
Hall of Famer, Netflix analyst. He'll join us coming up
in a little bit. 877-3DP-SHOW, operator. Tyler's sitting by. He'll
take your phone calls through the final hour of the program.
Todd is back. He's got a bandage on his hand, finger,
and really an incredible comeback story for the ages.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
They tell me to take the week off. I'm like,
I got to go back. Dan's not going to put
up with that. He's had all kinds of surgeries and
then he comes back the same day.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I know. Not that I should have, by the way.
I just didn't want to sit home. Oh, big night
last night. I mentioned that last hour. Tonight's a big night.
We open up the envelope to find out exactly how
much the wedding cost us. So, yeah, that's going to
be a big, big, big event with my wife and I.
I'm sure there'll be tears shed. not tears of joy. Like,
(00:58):
I'm going to have to work another year after that. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Have you considered just burying it in the yard and
not looking at it?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I said to her, I don't want to know, hon.
I'm okay. Last night, I promised my wife that I
would try to watch The Matrix, and I got 23
minutes in, and then that was it. Now, not because
I didn't like it. I just can't sit still. And
she said, where are you going? I said, I'm going
(01:27):
to watch Dateline. I'm going to smoke a cigar, have
some tequila. Maybe, you know, tonight we'll get back, you know,
to watching The Matrix. I promise I'll finish it. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
The 30-minute TV episode really was built for you because
it's actually like, aren't they 22 minutes long? That is
truly like that's where you kind of top out, I
feel like.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Or if I'm watching an episode of Reacher... Then that'll
be two days that I'll get it like, you know,
22 minutes and then I'll come back and get it,
you know, like 30 minutes and get that taken care of.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So Todd is here. Heroic effort. Dylan in the back row. Marv,
Big Day Ray is sitting in the chair because Pauly
is getting ready for day two of Pabst and Perloff.
I thought it was one and done. And now I'm
finding out they're going to do it every single day.
And the response has been great. Their first show. And
it's noon to one. Eastern on Peacock and NBC Sports Now.
(02:27):
All right, Dylan, poll question for hour three is going
to be what?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, if you were in line to inherit a large
sum of money, would you coast or still work every day?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh, I would have worked every day. Even if I
won the lottery now, I mean, I'd still continue to work. But,
I don't know, you kind of grow up in that
environment that, you know, it's programmed. Now, if you grow
up in a different environment, then you'd probably react differently. Say,
going around the country, I'm going to go live in
(03:02):
another part of the world. Yeah, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I grew up, both my parents worked, so they both
had a strong work ethic. I just don't know if
it transferred.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I would agree with you. I think when you want
to put your mind to it, that you can work hard.
But I mean, you did do construction on this building.
So when we're building this out, you were part of
the construction crew with Marvin, also Jay, the big German.
(03:40):
So you had to have a work ethic to help
build this place out because I gave you guys three
months to make this look like a man cave, which
was not fair to you guys. This was a six-month job.
No doubt about it. And I remember we did our
last show at the other man cave. And the big
(04:00):
German said, when do you want to have our first show?
And I said, three months. And he goes, okay.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
And.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't know if Eric had hair back then, but
he's bald now. But I just remember I said three months,
and I had a friend of mine who helped build
the other man cave. And he said, how much time
are you giving the big German? I go, three months.
He goes, three months to finish what? I go, the
whole thing. He goes, oh, my gosh. And he did
(04:33):
it right to the day. The day before we did
our first show, we had this thing up and running,
looking good. I had a lot of people. Remember, we
cut down the nets that last day. Well, some of
us did.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You couldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Todd complained that we didn't have left-handed scissors.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, you did not provide a lefty scissor, which is
important for the lefty.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But if you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Now,
Todd is going up the ladder of the old man
cave and doesn't realize that if you pull on the net,
It makes it easier to clip the net.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You have to make a nice and taut, I guess.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yes, indeed. I thought I taught you the correct way.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I thought it was an accomplishment just getting up the
stairs there on the little stool.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Forget about actually cutting anything.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know what this is leading to other than
work ethic. Is that what we're talking about? Yes, Todd.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
I will say that if you have the financial means
to chase your dreams and take risks and everything and
not worry about failure or that someone is counting on you,
including yourself, for money, that's got to make it a
lot easier to go after things knowing that worst-case scenario,
I've got millions of dollars waiting for me to inherit.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That might have been an obvious point, but I think
it should be said in actual.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Words out loud. Most of your points are obvious points.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The Toddcast today... Oh, my goodness. Get ready for that.
You know, I had somebody say to me, hey, you
need to warn people not to have their wife or
kids in the car. And I try to give you
a disclaimer. Do not listen with your wife or kids
in the car when you're listening to the podcast or
the gambling podcast. Just letting you know, kind of free flowing.
(06:16):
Dylan is the therapist with Todd. He sits, he's lying
down for an hour listening. and just getting things off
his chest.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
He's not making much progress with the therapy.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
None, actually.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
It's nothing worse than they're going to hear at school anyways.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I don't want to be the one that is delivering
it to them. They can hear it at school, not
from me. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Next Saturday, Premier League. It's Hull City and Aston Villa.
Both clubs look to make a statement when they kick
off at 1230 Eastern on NBC. and Peacock. Here's something
(06:52):
random today. NFL cut down day on Sunday, we realized
the Dolphins are bad. They are probably going to be
in competition with the Cardinals for worst record. Probably over
under three and a half. The Dolphins claimed seven players
off waivers. They have $ 182 million in dead cap money
(07:14):
in 2026. So they're paying that The player's no longer
on the team. And you start to go, how do
you get this bad? And then you bring in Malik Willis. Now,
I like Malik Willis. I was hoping he would have
gone to the Steelers if Aaron Rodgers didn't come back.
(07:35):
I think he's got potential. So he goes to the Dolphins. Well,
he wants to prove, and by the way, Dolphins got
an unbelievable quarterback-friendly deal. Three years, he's going to make around, what,
$ 20 million a year, something like that. It's a team-friendly deal.
But I like what they're doing to bring in Malik
(07:55):
Willis because they will draft a quarterback, and then Malik
Willis will be there probably for two years. And then
maybe you turn the reins over to Dante Moore, Arch Manning.
You have the second-hardest schedule in football this year. And
I wouldn't have gone with Malik Willis. I probably would
(08:16):
have said, let's just keep Quinn Ewers. I mean, let's
just throw somebody out there. Let's get through the season.
I think their GM said that success is not about
wins this year.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I might be paraphrasing that, but the Dolphins are going
to be really bad. And then you start to look
at the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes. I went
back and looked at the 2020-23 season. Don't ask me why.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
They won the Super Bowl, and I'm just curious of
turnover with great teams. Here's the Dolphins with turnover, and
they're terrible. Here are the wide receivers that the Kansas
City Chiefs, they average, I think, just over 29 points
a game regular season, put up 38 in the Super Bowl.
(09:11):
Highest scoring offense in football. There's no Tyreek Hill here.
Their wide receivers are Juju Smith-Schuster. Not on a roster
this year. Justin Watson, not on a roster. Marquez Valdez-Scantling,
not on a roster. Kadarius Toney, not on a current roster.
Nicole Hardman, not on a roster. Sky Moore is on
(09:33):
the Packers. Running backs. Isaiah Pacheco, no longer there. Jarek McKinnon.
Ronald Jones Jr. III. Clyde Edwards-Hilaire. Patrick Mahomes pulled off. Now,
they did have Kelsey, but this is Tom Brady. Brady
had Gronk and interchangeable parts at wide receiver. That is
(09:59):
an incredibly... underrated performance by Patrick Mahomes. And he might
have to do that again this year. Now, they do
have some players you are least aware of, but they
average 29 a game, but highest scoring offense, and they
put up 38 winning the Super Bowl with that receiving core.
(10:20):
Because when they traded Tyreek Hill, we're probably all in
unison going, oh my God, what are they doing? Well,
they knew what they were doing. That's a testament to Mahomes.
Certainly that front office, I guess, entrusting him. I would
prefer that my front office gave me really good players
(10:41):
instead of, hey, this is all we got. Do your best.
And they won the Super Bowl that year.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yes, Dylan. it's like the curse of being the best
where they're like, you can make it work with these guys.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And then that's what they give you. But this year, this,
I feel like this is the quietest year for the
chiefs going into the season that it's been in a bit.
Obviously it's been kind of trending downwards, but like the
chiefs at 16 to one to win the super bowl.
I don't hate that. Obviously that division's gotten a little tougher.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But well, you know, I like that they got Walker there,
but you know, Chris Jones is another year older. Um,
You got rid of McDuffie, went to the Rams. Kelsey's
a year older. You know, the offensive line will be healthy, healthier.
That'll help. But, you know, Creed Humphrey, he's been there
(11:35):
a while. Man, when you find yourself a center, you're like,
hold on for dear life. Like when the Raiders got
Tyler Lindenbaum, I went, what an unbelievable pickup. And I remember–
Talking to a friend of mine, he's like, wait, a center?
And I go, oh, my God, with a rookie quarterback?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Having somebody got experience?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Let me get a couple of phone calls in here.
Luke Keekly will stop by. Let's see. Max in South Carolina.
Good morning, Max. What's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Morning, Dan. How you doing?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Great, great, great.
Speaker 11 (12:13):
First time, long time, 5'9, slim, 250. Hey, all this
talk about Southern Cal, what I want y'all to do
this weekend is focus your attention to the real USC
in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Williams-Brice is going to be swaying.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
It's going to be about 95 degrees, 100% humidity, about 70,000-plus.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Fritzie, get better. Go Cocks. Okay.
Speaker 11 (12:43):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, when I've been down in South Carolina, if I've
gone down to see Hootie and the Blowfish– And then
if you say USC, they think you're talking about South Carolina.
And I went down there with my son for a
Hootie and the Blowfish golf tournament, and he was telling
everybody he went to USC. And then he realized that
they thought he went to South Carolina. He goes, no, no,
(13:05):
I went to the USC. I said, you don't have
to do that. It's okay. Let South Carolina have their
victory here. You're okay. South Carolina plays Kent State week one. Yes, Mark.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
But your son's not wrong nationally. Somebody says, where'd you go? USC. No,
one's going to say South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You're right. You're right. Uh, Aiden in Utah, Aiden. Morning DP.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
It's been a long time since I called in.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Good to see you guys. Good to see you for it.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
See that you made it off your deathbed.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Listen, I got, Hey, by the way, we, we did
get the wedding invitation and, uh, I did talk about
it on the show. Uh, so just want to let
you know that, Thank you for the invitation. Of course,
of course, DP.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
I missed like two weeks of the show after my wedding.
I also realized that I didn't put a return address
on the letter. My first time sending a physical letter, Dan.
So you've got to let me buy on that.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I've got a pie to the face bet.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
The Rams will not make the NFC championship.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Ooh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Okay, anybody want a piece of Aiden in Utah, newly married,
the Rams don't make it to the NFC title game? Ooh, Dylan,
all right.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I think they lose in the NFC title game.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, that's not the bet.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
No, he's saying they don't make it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, so I think they'll make it and then they
lose in that game, so I will take the bet.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Wait, you're taking the bet?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, but he said that they won't make it to
the title game.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
No, I think they'll make it to the title game
and then lose in the title game.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
But, okay, he says they, do you understand what the
bet is?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Aiden says they won't make it to the NFC title game.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yes, I think they will. So I will take the bet,
and then I add it on saying I think that
that's when they lose is in the title game.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Aiden, you okay? Dylan's going to take you up on that.
Makes sense to me.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Thank you, Aiden.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Joe in Iowa. Hey, Joe, what do you have for
me today?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hi, Dan.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
I was so touched and inspired by Todd's harrowing experience
yesterday that I came up with a little ditty to
the tune of the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
I don't know if you're familiar with that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Oh, yes, I am.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
All I have is just a chorus, real short.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Here we go.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Pauly in the front row, dun-dun. Marvin in the front row, dun-dun.
Dylan in the back row, Fritzy sucks.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Love you, Fritzy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I was bopping along to that till the end there.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
He set me up.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
He thought he was going to say something nice about it.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, this is a cute little ditty he came up with,
very creative, and then he took a shot.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Blitzkrieg bop. I never got the Ramones.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
Sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
No? No, no.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I just thought that they were like a novelty and like, okay.
Although Bono talks about being inspired by the Ramones. I'm
sure there are a lot of people, bands inspired. I just,
once again, as a Zeppelin snob, Stones, who's snob, you know,
the Ramones. Okay.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm just saying, I'm just letting, I'm being honest with it.
I thought the Ramones were like, okay, like Joey Ramone.
And I know the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Give me the Ramones over U2 any day of the week.
And twice on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
You too?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Not.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Good?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Really? They were the biggest band in the world for
a while.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
They were never the biggest band in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yes, they were. They're big. They were the biggest band
in the world. When they were doing those stadium tours,
come on.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Everyone does stadiums now.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm not going to do this today.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'm not going to do this today.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
It is early in the week.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
How about we take a break? The Hall of Famer
Luke Keekly. What, Marvin?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Who gets you angrier, Dylan or Todd?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Well, I'm used to Todd. But Dylan likes to do this.
Todd's not mean-spirited.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I don't intend to poke you, but Dylan definitely.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Goes in there and pokes the bear.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, Dylan does. Dylan does. Let me take a break here.
Luke Keekly's going to join us next.
Speaker 1 (17:38):

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I like The Clash. I'm just, I thought the Ramones
were kind of a novelty band. That's all. Doesn't make
me a bad guy because I don't, you know, like
punk rock. The Beatles created punk rock with Helder Skelter.
Go back and listen to that. Tell me about punk rock, knucklehead.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I'll give The Clash more credit in the punk rock
department than The Beatles.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The Beatles helped create it. Go back and listen to
Helter Skelter.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And they did that in the 60s. Oh, my God. What, Marvin? Sorry, DP.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Chad GPT said, in 2009, U2 reinforced their status as
the biggest rock band in the world through their launch
of their massive.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
U2 360 Tour. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Was that before or after they downloaded that terrible album
onto everyone's phone?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
He's Luke Kuechly, Hall of Famer, Netflix lead game analyst.
I don't know if you want any part of this.
We're fired up here, Luke. I'm ready to play a game.
Getting kind of feisty in here. Do you miss hitting people?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I miss being in a locker room. I don't miss
hitting people. I think being on the game, on the
field in four games the past couple years, you see
guys run by and you decide you don't want anything
to do with those guys, the running backs, the offensive linemen.
Even the receivers feel like they've gotten bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I tell people, if you want to see a football game,
if you can watch it from the sidelines, you'll have
a whole different appreciation for what that game sounds like
and how fast it is. I don't know if you
had that feeling, you're welcome to the NFL moment. What
was that like?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well, you know what's interesting? You talk about watching it
from the field. You don't ever listen to the game
or hear the game or feel the game when you're playing,
but during 2020 that was my first year when i
was done playing i worked with the panthers in the
front offices and i was on the field for some
of those games and there was no one in the
stands to start the year so you could hear everything
(20:19):
every hit every sound every time a guy puts his
foot in the ground and makes a cut and you
start to realize like how did i how did i
play out here during this game for that long because
guys are it's it's fast it's physical um And I'm
glad that I was on the sideline at that point.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Do you have that welcome to the NFL moment?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yeah, it was Michael Robinson. So my rookie year, we
played Seattle at home. It was my first game playing
at inside backer. And Russell Wilson escapes from the pocket.
I'm in zone coverage.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I drop.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
He starts running towards the line of scrimmage. And I
feel like I have a clean shot on him. I've
got a great angle. I'm running right at him. I
think I'm going to make a big hit. And at
the last second he cuts to my left, I turned
my head and Mike Robinson, number 26 is running full
speed at me. And Russ, Russ had kind of set
me up. I didn't see Mike Robinson and he smacked me.
(21:17):
And the first thing I remember is being on the ground.
And I remember looking up at him and he had
a big smile on his face. And it was, it
was early on. That was probably, I think that was
probably week three or week four. And you realize the
game happens a lot faster than it used to in college.
And when I see Mike to this day, there's still
that little smirk that he's got on his face because
(21:39):
he knows that he got me pretty dang good.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
If you didn't go to BC, where were you going?
Speaker 8 (21:45):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Stanford, Duke, and Virginia were the schools, in addition to
Boston College, that I looked really hard at. Stanford was
probably you know, right up there. That was Harbaugh and
Andrew Luck and that whole crew. And then Coach Cutcliffe
at Duke. I really liked him. He was a great man,
(22:07):
a great football coach. But BC was always home for me.
But I think Stanford with Harbaugh and Duke with Cutcliffe
were two places that would have been good options for me.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
But growing up, you know, in Cincinnati, Ohio State recruit you?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Not really. You know, when I was being recruited, I was–
I was small. I was skinny. I wasn't very big.
And quite frankly, if I was recruiting people out of Cincinnati,
I probably wouldn't have recruited me if I was Ohio
State either.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Really?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
No, I was a little, I was a 200 pound
linebacker that was taking biology class and chemistry class, carried
a lunchbox around. So I don't really blame anybody for
not recruiting me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Wait, you had a lunchbox?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Was it a themed lunchbox?
Speaker 11 (23:00):
It was.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
You know what? I was fortunate that when I went
to school, I have two brothers and my mom would
wake up and make breakfast and make lunch lunches for
us every day. And it was a very well-balanced lunchbox.
She did a great job. So, yes, I don't know
if the lunchbox itself was themed, but what was inside
of it was very much themed. All right.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So Luke and Netflix game day kicks off with the
game down under in Melbourne. It'll be shouldn't you be
leaving for Australia now?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Yeah, we're leaving. We leave we leave us on Sunday.
So I've been trying to wrap my head around it.
We leave on a Sunday and I think we get
there on a Tuesday because they're they're ahead of us.
Plus the time change in the flight. It took me
a second to kind of wrap my head around. how
all that works. But yeah, we're leaving soon. We leave
on Sunday of this week.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Okay. So that'll be coverage starting at 6.30 Eastern kickoff
at 8.30 Eastern next week. Are you expecting Aaron Donald
to be in Australia?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
That would certainly make it more exciting. Honestly, I think
it would be really cool if he played. I think
what I think about with this whole thing is, you know,
running's great. Agility is great. You watch all the videos
of him and him training. He looks phenomenal. I think
the one question that I would ask myself is what
happens when people start leaning on you? I think that's
(24:29):
probably the biggest thing. If I were to go back
and play after not playing for two years, how were
you able to brace for impact? How are you able
to mimic contact to the speed at which it's going
to happen in the game? So I think for the
game sake, I would love for him to play. I
think it adds a tremendous amount of storylines and him
(24:49):
and Miles Garrett and how the rest of the defense
line benefits from him being in the game. But I
think if you're the Rams, you got to figure out
what's the best long-term approach for having him part of
that team, you know, when they make a push in December, January.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
How does Aaron Donald impact the linebackers on the Rams
with him back?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
All right. Good luck getting up to him. You know,
I think if you're Nate Landman and That crew right there,
you're running clean to the football. Let's be honest. It's
Aaron Donald. It's Miles Garrett, Kobe Turner. And then the
one guy that's going to benefit the most from this
is Byron Young. You've got to block those big– and
Braden Fisk. You've got to block those big guys up
(25:30):
front before you get to the second level. So if
you're those Rams linebackers, you're just sitting there smiling, knowing that, hey,
they've got to block these monsters before they get.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
Up to us.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
You sacked Stafford before?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I didn't even get near him. Nope, not anywhere close
to them. My pass rushing skills were very minimal.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
How many sacks did you have in your career?
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Man, I think I had 12. And two or three
or four of them were clean to the football. So
that requires zero pass rush ability.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Who did you get that you go, I can tell
my grandkids?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Man, well... In the Super Bowl, Sean McDermott caught a
great blitz, and I got Peyton Manning. And that required, again,
zero skill. The biggest thing you have to do is
you make sure you get him on the ground. I
was clean right up the middle to Peyton Manning, and
the hardest thing is to not miss him. So that'd
(26:30):
be my most memorable quarterback sack.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You know, we look at those teams that lose the
Super Bowl and we used to label like you were
a disappointment, like the Buffalo Bills went to four consecutive
Super Bowls. I said, why are we celebrating that you
got to the Super Bowl? I know you guys got embarrassed,
but what's it like in that game that everybody's watching
you and everybody's going to have some kind of opinion
(26:58):
about you or your team after something like that?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I think everybody's going to have an opinion regardless if win, lose, draw,
how the season went. But I don't think that that season,
when you look back on it and you get perspective
and the further away that team gets from that game,
I think we realize how special that year was, how
fun the OTAs were, the off-season training camp, the journey
(27:26):
through that season into the playoffs, two playoff games at home,
the energy that in the city, in the Carolinas, and
have the opportunity to play in a Super Bowl, I
think was super special. Obviously, you want to win that game,
and that's the ultimate goal playing football, but I think
the memories and the opportunities we had that season and
(27:49):
the players that we put on that team that the
front office did a great job is what made that
season special. I don't think it's defined by one game
or you know, the disappointment of not winning the Super Bowl.
I think for us, it was more how special that
team was, how fun that team was, how special that
group was together. And I think when you look back
(28:09):
on it, that's the positive that really came from it.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
You think Cam Newton will be a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I think he should be just, and I get to
see it on a daily basis, but I don't think
for that stretch there that Cam had, I don't think
there was a more dominant player when you walked out
on the field in cam and I think, you know,
his ability to affect the game throwing and obviously running
(28:35):
the ball, short yardage goal line in walking out for
coin tosses for teams that we didn't play a whole
lot and watching those guys walk out and look at cam.
It's like, it's like they had no idea he was
that big. And it looked like he got 10 times
bigger when he, when he was in his uniform because
(28:57):
he had the rib pads and the shin pads and
the hair and the wristbands. And he just got bigger
and bigger as game day approached.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Because that following year, didn't you open up with Denver
in Denver?
Speaker 13 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And I remember the Broncos beat the hell out of
Cam in that game. They were lining him up and
pounding him. And I just kept remembering it. Being on
the field and seeing how big he was and realizing
what these defensive players were doing to him, they pounded
(29:33):
him that night and kept getting back up. But after
a while, those hits take their toll. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
He's, he's, we always joked that he was made of concrete, that,
that you, he was like a pillar out there. You
just hit him and hit him and he just keeps,
he keeps getting back up. But I think it's a
testament to number one, his toughness and number two is
competitive drive and, who he is as a person. And
(30:02):
a lot of stuff that Cam did, we kind of,
it's just Cam being Cam. And then when you think
about it, you start to realize how special what he
did for that team was.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Calling a game now. It's one thing to watch when
you're at home with your buddies, but you know, you're
going to be there with Noah Eagle. You got to
get in and get out, get in, get out. Like
you have a, finite amount of time that you go,
I got 15 seconds here, or I got 12 seconds here?
How do you work mentally of being an analyst?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Well, I think you start to just understand that, hey,
I have a job and I have a teammate, Noah's
your teammate. And you start to realize that I have
to do my job in a way that allows Noah
to do his job. So I think quick, in and out, concise,
get your point across, make it digestible and understandable. And
then and then get out and allow Noah to do
(31:00):
his job as well. He's phenomenal. He's so easy to
work with. He sets you up great. And then it's
my job, like you said, to get in, get my
point across, get my point articulated, and then allow Noah
to set the play up and do what he does
best as well. So I think that's what makes it
fun is the teamwork aspect of that booth.
Speaker 11 (31:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
But is this any different than what you did defensively
where get in, get out of the huddle or make
your call. Then there's the play. Now regroup, get in,
get out, get ready for the next play.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
I think in a sense, yes. The procedure, I think,
is a little bit different because in the game, I
think you're digesting. I get a play call in my ear.
And then I've got to relay it to the guys
in the field. And then I, like you said, I
(31:51):
got to break the huddle and turn around and digest
what's going on. So you're kind of thinking all the
way up to the snap as far as, as a
player versus I think in the booth, you're, it's more
of reactionary. And then, Hey, based on what happened on
the field, what can I give the viewers to help
educate them, give them further context versus while you're playing,
(32:13):
it's like, all right, Hey, What do I like out
of our menu on third and sixth? What did I
watch during practice and during tape that allows me to
have success? Maybe what do I need to tell the
guy next to me? Maybe Thomas is telling me something different.
So I think it's more of a living organism while
you're playing because there's 10 other guys that you're working
(32:34):
with versus in the booth. I think it's, you know,
it's one of my first times doing it. So I'm
still trying to figure it out a little bit as well,
but it's more of a, what I saw, let me
give somebody something quick that they can chew on, get
in and get out, and then let Noah do his
job as well.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Wait till like three years, two years, and you listen
back to this and then you'll go, oh my gosh,
because we all do it. I went back to my
early SportsCenter days. I'm going, oh my God, so bad.
But it's part of the evolution, the progress, the process
of it. So And you've got a great person to
(33:13):
set you up. The key is with play-by-play, they can
make or break you. And you've got Noah who learned
from his dad. He's going to put you in a
position to succeed. And, you know, that'll help you instead
of you scrambling to go, I got nine seconds here.
I can't say anything. Noah will be very good at
being brief with his comments to give you, you know,
(33:35):
that room for opportunity. And so it'll be fun for you.
At least I hope it will be. And don't read
social media. Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Stay off. I told JJ Watt that I said, dude, don't,
don't be on. He goes, no, why not?
Speaker 11 (33:50):
I go, okay.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
He goes, I can take it. I said, all right, well,
you're tougher than I can. I don't want to know
what social media is going to say. They're never happy
about anything, Luke.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
I think, you know, you kind of learn it as
a player. You can always find whatever you want on
social media.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
If you think you're the greatest thing, you can find
somebody that says you're the greatest thing. If you want
to find somebody that says you stink, if you look
hard enough, you can find that too. If so, it's
one of those things, whatever you want social media to say,
you can find it and filter it and figure it out.
So like you said, I think I'm lucky to have
(34:27):
Noah in there because he's so good and he has fun.
He's got a great personality and he's quick and, um,
I'm certainly looking forward to it. I think it's going
to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Good to talk to you. Again, congratulations on the Hall
of Fame, Luke.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Luke Keekly, Hall of Famer, Netflix lead game analyst, former
NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and first-round pick, ninth
overall out of Boston College. It's one of those where
you see somebody and you go, how did he end
up there? And then you realize he wasn't ready for
the Ohio State or some of these other programs. Plus,
(35:06):
he wanted to get an education. That pesky education. What
are you doing getting an education? Yes, Ray?
Speaker 8 (35:13):
His career is honestly unbelievable.
Speaker 12 (35:15):
He's made an All-Pro every single year besides his rookie season.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
In his rookie year, he won Defensive Rookie of the
Year and had 164 tackles.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Arguably his best year.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yes, Dylan?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah, when his other school options were Virginia, Duke, and Stanford,
I'm like, I'm sensing a trend here.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
We'll take a break. Last call for phone calls, what
we learned, what's in store tomorrow. And again, a round
of applause for Fritzie, one of the great heroic efforts
I've ever seen. He made it back after life-threatening surgery.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Maybe you have somebody else who offered up punk before
the Beatles did with Helter Skelter. I'm all ears if
that's the case. Somebody can point to somebody else. But
I think that Helter Skelter to me is punk rock.
And the Beatles did that before anybody else. I don't
know what chat GPT says, but if we could do that,
(36:23):
see if they have. Who was the first to provide
punk music? Yes, Dillian.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
So the proto-punk pioneers, the Stooges and MC5, Velvet Underground,
the New York Dolls, and then this section that says
codifying the genre, Dan, you're Ramones.
Speaker 11 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
No, they were punk. I get it. But the Beatles
were before New York Dolls, Iggy and the Stooges, MC5, Beatles.
Did the Beatles create punk music, punk rock?
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I still would lean Sex Pistols and The Clash.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
But they were well after The Beatles.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Yeah, but The Beatles, just because you could have like
a punky sound.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
They created the punk sound before anybody else. Maybe they
only did it once, but did they create it? Did
anybody else have anything close to Helter Skelter? Back in
the 60s.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
I mean, didn't everyone steal everything from Chuck Berry anyways?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
This isn't Chuck Berry. Yeah, they did steal a lot
from Chuck Berry. They acknowledged that they were taking it
from Chuck Berry. He was an idol of theirs. Just
like Keith Richards, same way. Helter Skelter, that's different.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
Mary? Fine.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Fine, I'll allow it.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yes, Mark.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
We need another music guest then.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's never fun when I argue with Dylan because when
I win, I don't feel like I've won. I'm teaching
my son things in life, and he goes kicking and screaming.
You don't want to hear it.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
I'll die on the U2 hill again.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
You said they weren't the biggest band in the world
at any point. They were. They were the biggest band
in the world. You may not like them, which you don't,
but they were the biggest band in the world. Chris
in LA.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Hi, Chris.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Good morning, Dan.
Speaker 13 (38:30):
You know, I just wanted to help put a bow
on this USC Coliseum game because that picture did look horrible.
But I think there's a multitude of factors. One was
the blistering heat. I mean, it's been hot out here
beyond normal for three weeks. And I was even going
to go to the game. And tickets were cheap. They
(38:50):
were like $ 11 a day before. But I said, I'm
not going to sit in those plastic hot seats in
the Coliseum. pay $ 80 for parking just.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
To see San Jose State.
Speaker 13 (39:02):
So I think a lot of it is 80% probably
the heat. It would be like Michigan having a record
snowstorm and expecting people to show up.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
They would show up. This isn't a record heat wave.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
It's hot.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
They show up. Look at Buffalo, Ohio State, Michigan. They're
going to show up no matter what the weather is.
It's just Los Angeles, there's other things to do. I
get that. Don't put out an apology.
Speaker 10 (39:29):
Though.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Jared in Iowa. Hi, Jared. What do you have for
me today?
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Hey, Danny. I felt compelled to call you today because
of your conversation with Kyle Long. Really kind of hit
home with me today and I appreciate you talking about
your struggles in the past. You mentioned to Kyle today
about times where he didn't want to get out of bed.
(39:57):
I've been there and still fighting through it. I'm a
Bears fan. I'm a 45-year-old dude and I didn't know
Kyle dealt with that either, but he was always my guy,
as was his dad, and I love his brother Chris too.
But no, I appreciate that conversation today. It meant a
lot to me, and hopefully it meant a lot to
(40:20):
anybody else that's struggling with that.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Thank you, Jared, and good luck. Yeah, when I finally
broke down and told my wife that I'd just gone
through this depression... And I didn't know what it was.
I had never experienced it. And then she said, talk
about it on your show. Maybe you can help somebody.
It turns the light on for somebody. And I'm like, oh,
(40:43):
my God. And then you just do it. You know,
it's like put your ego to the side.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
You know, do something that maybe helps somebody. And hopefully
we did. It's like when Bo Jackson came on and
talked about, you know, cancer, prostate cancer. Thanks for joining
us for Fritzie, Dylan, Marv, Paulie, and Big Day Ray.
We'll talk to you tomorrow.
