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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Big Day Ray, who brought his mom to work day,
and she is helping with the meat Friday. And I
got to taste the dish that she is making that
she's famous for. Dylan, run down the menu, please.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Be an honor, Dan. We've got pork schnitzel, beer brats,
German potato salad, beer cheese pretzels, and last but certainly
not least, Ray's mom's famous spezzola. I think that was
all right.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, I already had some. Tasted really good.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
No, the pronunciation.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
No, it was really good.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, and so was the dish that Ray's mom, who
is from Germany, came in. She is nervous. She is
so nervous that I'm going to ask her a question
on TV, and I said, I'm not. I promise you
I'm not. She also said you have a, what was
the word, some kind of aura about you, a calming

(00:59):
aura about you. Is that about the lavender, you know,
this sweatshirt I got on here? Yes, this three-quarter? Yes, Ray.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
I would have wished you didn't wear that today, especially
after my mom complimented you on your calming voice.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
What's going on here?

Speaker 6 (01:17):
I don't know, Dan.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
We've seen the cords.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Did your mom use Meat Friday to meet me?

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Probably, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
She's wanted to cook for us for a long time.
But the funniest part is that she's talking about how
calming your voice is, and my dad's just sitting there
on his Kindle reading.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
He's like, ah, it's whatever. Yeah, I don't want to
get in between anything. Your mom seems very nice. Your
father seems like he's very nice, quiet. But now it
just feels like there's a flirt alert on that I
got to be aware of, okay? And you need to
be aware of because your mom is here in the

(01:55):
man cave, and I am the man in the man cave.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
This is her last day here. She won't be coming back.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (02:03):
Thank God you didn't wear the daddy robe.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Whoa.

Speaker 7 (02:05):
That would have been awkward.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Or the cords. Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Why don't we test this out? Give Todd the lavender windbreaker.
Send him out there and see if he gets a
similar treatment.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program from 7A to
7P Eastern. You can catch the full daily lineup of
Sports Talk on NBC Sports Now. The channel's available live
on Peacock and for free on Roku, Samsung, TV +,
wherever you stream. Poll question for the final hour of
the program is what, Dylan?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, Todd sent me this one, and it might sound familiar.
Are the Raiders a competitor or a contender?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
How about this? Do you view the Browns as more
of a contender or the Raiders? How about that?

Speaker 8 (02:54):
He always cleans up my mess. He does a good
job of that.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Thank you, Todd. How about that one?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
All right, we can do that.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
What about the other poll questions from the two previous hours?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh, you want some results?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Got them.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
By the way, you know I have one rule on
Meat Friday.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I don't like where this is going.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
You can't eat at your desk while we're doing the show. Todd,
you were in the confessional and you were eating in
the confessional.

Speaker 9 (03:20):
I did that to taunt you a little bit because
I didn't like the way you were scolding me so
many times.

Speaker 8 (03:24):
It was just a little piece of soft pretzel.

Speaker 9 (03:25):
Your bigger concern is if it gets stuck in our
teeth and we start slurring our words and it sounds
like we got food in our mouth on the air.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, you will have food in your mouth on the air,
and then I scold you, and then you pout for
an entire hour.

Speaker 9 (03:37):
And I had peanut brittle, which takes a very long
time to get out of your teeth. Certainly not during
a commercial break.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
And Dylan brings out a big plate of popcorn. I go, no, no,
not on the show.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, technically, I was walking to my desk while I
was eating it, and then I put it aside.

Speaker 8 (03:54):
No, we can't eat.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
We still have a radio show to do. You can't
be like Todd Kuhn.

Speaker 8 (04:01):
I already make those noises without any food in my mouth.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's actually the perfect crime.

Speaker 8 (04:05):
I could just blame my inability to speak. He wasn't
even sure if he should have shown up.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Okay, Marvin.

Speaker 8 (04:10):
All right, on a Friday.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
The Braves get the Dodgers now. The Braves closed out
the Phillies 6-2. Did Atlanta win 5-6 from the Dodgers
this year? Does that sound about right? Big day, Ray.
Browns hold off the Steelers. Cleveland now 3-1. And I
think there's a great chance they could be 5-2 after
seven games. And then you have a conversation here. Would

(04:37):
the Cleveland Browns get to the trade deadline and maybe
try to do something, add something? The foundation is there.
The foundation is there. They went out and drafted a
couple of receivers. Boston, I think, is the leading candidate
for the offensive rookie of the year. They got Concepcion
as well. They got a running back. A couple of

(04:59):
defensive players that made an impact. They got a tight end.
And they're all young. And they've gotten some good play
out of Deshaun Watson. Most analysts probably don't want to
admit it, but you have to. He's doing okay. And
that's all just average quarterback play or a little above
average quarterback play. That's great. That's a welcome sight for

(05:23):
Cleveland Browns fans. Nobody's calling for Shador Sanders, at least
Haven't lately.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yes, Ray?

Speaker 6 (05:30):
They can continue building, too.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
They also have the Rams' first-round pick this year, which
actually might be better than we anticipated.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
College football this weekend. Iowa and Ohio State is a
fun matchup. I like Mississippi State at Alabama because Camario Taylor,
a sophomore, he's got 14 touchdown passes, two interceptions. And
Alabama comes in with Keelan Russell. He might have been

(06:00):
the top candidate, I think. Was he Gatorade Player of
the Year? But these two quarterbacks, and he's from Texas
going to Alabama. Yes, Marvin?

Speaker 7 (06:09):
He's also one of the reasons Ty Simpson left.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's true. When Ty Simpson got hurt last year and
this kid came in, I go, uh-oh.

Speaker 10 (06:19):
Uh-oh.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Ty Simpson's not going to stay around at Alabama. He
might play another year of college football, but he's not
going to be at Alabama. Yes, Marvin?

Speaker 7 (06:28):
There's always that moment in college football when the backup quarterback,
the hotshot freshman or whoever comes in, and you're just like, ooh,
Kelly Bryan, this was a good run. But as soon
as you saw Trevor Lawrence throw the ball, sorry, you
got to go somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Caleb Williams or Spencer Rattler. It was like Spencer Rattler,
who had a ton of talent, high school, big-time recruit,
and all of a sudden Caleb Williams came in, and
it was like the third play, and I go, uh-oh.
Spencer Rattler? Where are you transferring to? Because there is
the future right now. Cody in Texas. Good morning, Cody.

(07:03):
What do you have for me today?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Good morning, Dan. Happy Friday. Great interview with Jason Garrett.
Great question. Brian Pfeiffer knows as the Cowboys head coach.
He made a lot of us cry. But I did
want to give some flowers to Dylan. Oh, man. There is,
as a predictive analyst, hobby enthusiast myself, who listens to

(07:29):
the Dan Takes a Gamble podcast, nobody's seeing the board
clearer than Dylan. And, man, I hit it too last
night because I listened to the podcast. The two tied
in parlay on Thursday night. Man, it's cashed out this season. Dylan,
here's your flowers, man.

Speaker 7 (07:46):
Keep it up.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
All right, and there's Cody.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
Thank you, Cody.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Gambling podcast. Yesterday, Shea and Irving got a shock collar.
What did Shea do wrong that he had to get
a dog collar around his neck and get shocked a
couple of times?

Speaker 3 (07:59):
I mean, what has he done right?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
He came in in a mood.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yes, he was in a bad mood yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Because he had to go to couples therapy right after that.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Very cranky, I would say.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
And they have a new therapist, him and his wife. Barb,
and so he has to tell the stories over and
over and over and over and over of how he
got into the doghouse. Do we have a clip from
the gambling podcast? Here is the shock collar with Shea
and Irving. And you only get shocked twice, but you
don't know when you're going to get shocked.

Speaker 7 (08:33):
I felt that.

Speaker 11 (08:34):
It was like a girl.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Wait, really?

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
That was twice.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
We've wasted them already?

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yeah, that was two.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I was trying to see if it was working.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well... Why isn't it.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm going to do what he did to me.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, but why isn't it treating... Because I'm not a girl, Danny.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Wait, that's it?

Speaker 6 (08:53):
That was it?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
You shocked me.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Do it again.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
Is it set to the max thing?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Does it just not hurt?

Speaker 7 (08:59):
It just doesn't hurt.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
No, it's not bad.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Was I overreacting then?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
You were a drama queen. I thought it was going
to be way worse than that.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
You were like.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
You held it. You put it up to your neck.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
You just... I know, but the.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
First time when you did it, remember we did it
in the hallway? You put it up to your neck
and you did the same thing I did.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
It doesn't... Was it not kicking as much?

Speaker 7 (09:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Is it turned down?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
It said it's on set to 10.

Speaker 12 (09:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Dylan, why don't you put it on?

Speaker 6 (09:29):
Poor Dylan.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
No, you can do it to yourself just once. Just
to see how it feels.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
All right?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's still shocks.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Uh, that's the gambling podcast. We do get around to
actually picking games there, but yeah, Shane Irving talking about
going to his couples therapy. They had to get another
therapist because he trashed the other one last year on
the podcast. I said, you know, Shay, people do listen
to this podcast. Somebody going to tell somebody who's going

(10:01):
to tell the therapist that you're trashing them. Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
How many therapists do you think listen to the show?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh, I think there are probably a lot of them.
Just because they're listening to Shea and probably thinking, boy,
this would be great practice of what would I do
with a person like that?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
It's like market research for the worst possible scenario.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Imagine if he comes into your office and he needs
some therapy. Oh, and he needs therapy. But his meds
are different because now he's bipolar one, not two.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
And I don't know what that means.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
I think it's like diabetes too is not as bad
as one. Well, no, I know that.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't know what it meant. Like he's on meds.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I don't know if they're working.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think they need a little ramp up period.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
But that shot caller, that did not phase him at
all yesterday.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
He was trying to be tough. That's my hill I'm
dying on.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
He did a good job. Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
It did phase Dylan. Let's take a listen. The anticipation?
What's worse?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think not knowing.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, not knowing is way worse. That's like when we
were smashing each.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Other. That's the weirdest feeling of all time.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's three.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm sweating.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
You got six to go. I'm schvitzing. That's the same
setting as Shay, and that's how Dylan reacted when he
got the shock collar a while ago.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
He's a tougher man than I am.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yes, he is. Yes, he is. Andrew in Washington. Good morning, Andrew.
Welcome back. Good morning, DP and boys.

Speaker 13 (11:47):
Let's get this meat Friday going. My MMWGOTW is all
three 0-3 NFL teams that had injuries.

Speaker 14 (11:56):
Playoff aspirations need a win this weekend.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
The Texans, the Chargers, and the Buccaneers.

Speaker 13 (12:01):
The only 0-4 team in NFL history to get to
the playoffs were the 1992 Chargers. But even bigger than that,
my Panthers and Lions play Sunday night.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I know Ray with his mom there.

Speaker 14 (12:13):
In front of all of his new front room friends.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
He's a Lions fan.

Speaker 13 (12:17):
So I'm going to give him a layup if he's
willing to take it and get his first pie-to-the-face bet.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Just straight up, you can have your Lions.

Speaker 15 (12:24):
I'll take my Panthers.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Whoever loses, take the pie-to-the-face, Ray.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Okay. I'll take that. Ray's in the books.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
Panthers, both starting corners are out this week.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love that. A little pie-to-the-face for Ray. Will in Albany. Hi, Will.
What do you have for me? Hey, Dan, how's it going?
What's up, pal?

Speaker 16 (12:45):
What's up, fellas? Shout out to the back row as well.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
I appreciate you guys, man.

Speaker 15 (12:50):
You guys are awesome. It's like chilling with a bunch
of buddies listening to you guys every day. I hope
it's not lost on you guys that you guys have
the coolest job in the world. But, Dan, I got
a possible poll question. I was wondering, I torture my kids.
They love my teams. I was wondering, is there a
worst possible combination of teams to like? I love the

(13:10):
Tennessee Titans. and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know, it's always tough when you like a team,
and then you have kids, and then you want to
hand that off. Do you want to give that misery?

Speaker 15 (13:26):
I didn't want to, and my son's like, no, Daddy,
we stick together. And I saw the Titans this weekend
against the Giants in a monsoon. Both my kids got sick, yes.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
But, yeah, we got beat.

Speaker 15 (13:38):
Cam Ward threw away the game at the end again.
And so the tie-ins, the decision-making is just awful from
the get-go. Like Marvin touched on earlier in the week,
we let Derrick Henry go. We signed Tony Pollard for
more money than Derrick. Derrick Henry took less money to leave,
and he's beasting for the Ravens.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
We traded A.J.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
Brown.

Speaker 15 (13:57):
That's not a winning football move.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Let Mike Bravo go.

Speaker 15 (14:00):
That's not a winning football move.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
Anyways, remember back.

Speaker 15 (14:04):
In the day when they got beat by the Rams
in the Super Bowl at the one-yard line?

Speaker 14 (14:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (14:10):
Can I point out, we drafted Kevin Dyson instead of
Randy Moss.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
And you're going to pass that on to your children.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Kevin Dyson. Tackled at the one. Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah, one of the greatest defensive players in Super Bowl history. Anyway, like,
who was... Who is he rooting for with the Pirates?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
You know, that probably is growing up in the 70s, maybe.
We are family.

Speaker 7 (14:41):
He didn't feel that old. So I'm like, man, he
really loved Jason Kendall.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Didn't Jason Kendall win a batting title?

Speaker 7 (14:51):
With no batting gloves, I think. I got to check.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, Ray.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Speaking of draft misses, Kyle Pitts this year, two catches
for 20 yards.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
He was picked fourth overall.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
And behind him was Jamar Chase, Jalen Waddell, Panay Sewell, J.C. Horn,
Pat Sertan, Devontae Smith, and Micah Parsons.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Didn't he just get extended?

Speaker 6 (15:13):
Just got a big contract as well.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
And I kept thinking, what am I missing here? Because
this feels, who's the guy with the Steelers that couldn't
miss out of Notre Dame? That wide receiver?

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Claypool.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Chase Claypool. It's like you look at these guys and
you go, he can't miss. And then you go, he missed. But, yeah, Pitts,
I remember watching him in college. And it was like, wow,
he was, you know, that was a man amongst boys
at Florida. And then all of a sudden you go, man,
they love him, taking him fourth overall. And I'm thinking

(15:51):
he's not the second coming of Kellen Winslow. Yes, Marv?

Speaker 7 (15:54):
Yeah, those are the scary guys. Man, when he puts
it all together, those are the scary guys.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Let me take a break here. More phone calls coming up. Todd,
did you just do homework there?

Speaker 10 (16:07):
I did.

Speaker 8 (16:08):
No batting titles for Kendall.

Speaker 9 (16:09):
Had three all-star appearances, had a couple of decent years
from a batting average standpoint, but did not win a
batting title.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
But he hit. 327 one year.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
I think he didn't have enough games or at-bats to
be able to win that award in one.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Of those years.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
He hit. 320 one year.

Speaker 8 (16:25):
Someone did better.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Thank you, Todd.

Speaker 8 (16:29):
I've got to assume someone got at least. 321 that year.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
All right. He played 15 years, an undersized catcher, and
people remember him for breaking his ankle. Remember that?

Speaker 7 (16:42):
First base.

Speaker 12 (16:43):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
I wish I didn't remember it, but yes.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
All right, we'll take a break. Back after this.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 17 (16:59):
Stugatz here, pleased to be hosting college football with Stugatz
and the Bear. We do it two times a week,
every Monday, every single Friday throughout the college football season.
You can expect a little bit of this. Will Stein,
the head coach at Kentucky, joins us. Open bar at
a wedding, ordering a Shirley Temple.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Will or will not?

Speaker 7 (17:17):
No.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
Will not.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Ketchup on steak, will or will not?

Speaker 7 (17:23):
Will not. Thank you. A little bit of this.

Speaker 17 (17:26):
Reese Davis, host of College Game Day, is with us now.

Speaker 16 (17:29):
And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Right, because you can't say Jockovich.

Speaker 8 (17:36):
If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
get from the American audience. Right.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
And a whole lot of this.

Speaker 17 (17:47):
Listen to college football with Stugatz and the Bear on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
You get your podcasts. Fresh in Milwaukee. Hi, Fresh. What
do you have for me today?

Speaker 16 (18:03):
What's up, DP and Danette?

Speaker 12 (18:07):
Got a quick question for you.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (18:11):
Who is the best player in the NFL right now
that's a non-quarterback?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Fresh usually has a fresh question for us. Best player. Non-quarterback.
Fred Warner. Jamar Chase.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, Dill.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
This sounds like a Homer pick, but Kyle Hamilton's probably
in the mix there.

Speaker 14 (18:42):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (18:44):
Yeah, Todd.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
If you're going to say Kyle Hamilton, you've got to
say Nick Benito.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Marvin.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
JSN.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, there's a long list of this. But when I
brought this up to Harold Reynolds, how many must-see players
are there in baseball? I think I brought it up
to HR. And I think we got to four or
five must-see players in baseball. We're more lenient when it

(19:16):
comes to viewing football. Like, who is must-see TV? You
start with the quarterbacks, and quite a few of them
are must-see TV. Then you get to skilled position. Bijan
Jameer Gibbs must see TV. Jamar Chase must see TV.
Justin Jefferson hasn't been, but he was, and maybe still

(19:40):
can be. Who else would you.
Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I mean, obviously he's hurt, but Miles Dickerson.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
T.J.

Speaker 16 (19:52):
Watt.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Would you put him in there? Must see-ish TV. Aaron Donald.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Now that he's back, must see TV.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yes, Ray.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
I would put cornerbacks in there, but they're not must-see
TV because if they're so good, you don't see them
on the field.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
They don't get thrown at.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
So it's hard to put them on there.

Speaker 14 (20:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Like Christian Gonzalez is a great player. Stingley, Patrick Sertan.
But if you're good, there's nobody going your side of
the field. That's why it was always amazing that Deion
got so much attention and you were trying to stay
away from Deion. That's why Deion goes, I'll return punts.

(20:34):
I'll line up at wide receiver. You're going to notice
me on the football field. And still one of the
greatest calls in college football history where Deion called his shot.
I believe that's Clemson when he's at Florida State. And
he's pointing, I'm going to run this back.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
And he did.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
A punt return. Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
You mentioned Stingley, I think. Will Anderson's probably in there.
And also, actually, Nico Collins, although hurt as well, is
one of the more underrated receivers.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's Joey Votto that I brought up. Who is must-see
TV in baseball? Because Mike Trout isn't must-see TV anymore. But,
you know, obviously Shohei Otani is. Jacob Mizorowski, must-see TV.
Aaron Judge, still must-see TV. Yes, Mark.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
What about Paul Skeens?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
He wasn't this year, but he has been. Yes, still.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Pekar Armstrong, I think, was Nevada's four.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 9 (21:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I mean, you go 40-40. That's my CTV.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Yeah, Ray.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
Should Eli De La Cruz be on that list?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I think he's great. I think he's so excited. But
it always feels like, boy, when he gets to that
big market team, everybody's going to notice how great he is.
That's a problem in baseball, where you just have these
feeder teams– And you find this in other sports. You're
finding this in football. Hey, you can be great at

(22:03):
Ferris State, and then you're going to go to a
big program. Or in basketball as well. Hey, you're going
to be good at Miami of Ohio, and then you're
going to be on a bigger stage here. Yes, Mark?

Speaker 7 (22:13):
I'm always confused sometimes because there felt like there were
so many more exciting or must-watch players, but only four
teams in the entire MLB made the postseason. So what
was the big difference in the excitement level of players?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Run that by me again.

Speaker 7 (22:30):
So, oh, I'm sorry. So, in the previous generation or
the generations that preceded us, there were so many more
exciting players, it felt like, but there were only four
teams in the entire MLB that made the postseason.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, but back then, baseball was more important. Therefore, you
put more stock into what you were seeing because you
were watching more games. Now, you might watch at the beginning,
you might watch the all-star break, and then you're going
to watch the postseason. Therefore, there's other great players out there.
You're just not watching them the way we once did,

(23:04):
where you're watching on a daily basis, nightly basis. Now
it feels like, hey, let me get caught up to
speed here. It's postseason time. Yes, Ray.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
There used to be a lot more pitchers on the
must-watch list, but now I feel like they throw less
innings that I feel like it's harder to find a
pitcher that's must-watch. It's basically just Mizorowski at this point.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, you only had three pitchers throw over 200 innings
this year. I mean, 200 innings, that was nothing back
in the day. But, you know, we got to get
past this. Brave started, you know, somebody named Ray Kerr
last night. You're like, this is the elimination game. And then,

(23:45):
you know, you go to Chris Sale for the final
four outs. It's just, it's a different philosophy here. But
I still believe if your team has those two great
starting pitchers, and Maybe they go six innings, five innings,
but still that's such an advantage over these other teams.

(24:07):
And we're going to find out about the Brewers because
this will probably come down to their pitching, whether they
advance or not. Robert in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Hi, Robert.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
What do you have for me?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Morning, Dan. Morning, Dan.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Hey.

Speaker 16 (24:23):
Is it really the Danettes, though? I mean, is this
like a band that's out touring with one original member
and the rest of the guys just joined the band?
I'm not really sure here.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Interchangeable parts there. That's all. Todd is an OG. Dylan
came in when Seton wanted to do some other things
with the show, outside of the show. Marvin came in
when McLovin left. Big day Ray is here for an
hour after Paul, you know, it's, it's good growing pains here,

(24:55):
but I have depth here. I have depth in the,
you know, in the BRGs that these guys are able
to step in and continue to deliver at a high rate.
In my opinion, I don't think we miss anything. In fact,
they add things as well.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yes, Todd.

Speaker 9 (25:11):
That's a terrific answer. I'm not surprised, but like you
really said that very succinctly. Like if I took a
half hour, Or went to chat GPT. I couldn't have
come up with a better response than you just.

Speaker 10 (25:21):
Came up with.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Michael in San Antonio reached out.

Speaker 8 (25:23):
See what he does, right? You guys saw what he did?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Michael in San Antonio, with the near-death experience I had
giving blood yesterday, he says that 12 vials, which is
what they took, is nothing to make a difference. Your
liver keeps a whole pint of blood in reserve. I
was med lab in the Air Force for many years.

(25:47):
I have a whole pint of blood in reserve right
now in my liver. Who knew? Along with a boatload
of tequila in there as well.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
It's tainted, actually.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It might be. Do you think that they separate? Like
if you have tequila, what happens to that pint in
reserve right there? Or if I have a pint of beer,
what happens when that meets up with a pint of blood? Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I don't know for sure, but I do know that
I don't think either of our livers are going to
be at the top of the list for donors to
want to take them.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Didn't Selena Gomez, didn't she get a, she got a kidney.
A kidney.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
And then I think they're not friends anymore.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
No, I saw that.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
I want my kidney back.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
I thought there was some bad blood.

Speaker 10 (26:38):
Yes, Tony.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
Bad blood, that's what I was going to say. Can
doctors control where your blood comes from when they take
it out? Like, we won't go to the liver reserve.
The specific parts of your body where they can get
the blood from, it just comes out, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
What do you think, Todd?

Speaker 9 (26:50):
I'm thinking it just kind of comes out from wherever.
Whatever's closest to your vein at that particular moment, that's
the blood that comes out.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
And I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
David in Ohio. Hey, David, what do you have for
me today?

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Hey, Dan, happy meat Friday, nobody.

Speaker 16 (27:04):
I have a few questions for you.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Do you think.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Jason Garrett wears corduroys?

Speaker 14 (27:08):
And number two.

Speaker 16 (27:10):
At the next.

Speaker 13 (27:10):
DannyCast, didn't know if maybe you wanted to invite Shea's roommate,
and you can wear your famous corduroys for the program.

Speaker 11 (27:17):
I think it would be a great concept for the show.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thank you. Thank you, David. No, Shea will not let
me around his wife if I'm wearing corduroys. And he
doesn't have a sense of humor when I joke about
his wife. His wife is lovely. She's a very pretty woman, funny,
big personality. But if I say something that sounds flirty,

(27:40):
She'll be like, Danny, Danny, don't do it. Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
And I noticed you introduced a pair of black cords
into the rotation the other day. Are those new dress cords?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yes, they are. Yes, they are.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Look out, everyone.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Tripp in Vegas. Hi, Tripp. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 11 (27:57):
Hey, good morning, D.C. Always good to speak with y'all.
Always a pleasure to follow, David. When you were talking
about who's must-see TV, I have been watching on Peacock.
But I had to go back to the radio because
Dylan and Todd, seeing them on TV, they must not
see TV.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (28:12):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Rude.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Hang up on him.

Speaker 8 (28:14):
Even on a Friday.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, I know. You see what I did? I told Marvin,
hang up on him.

Speaker 15 (28:20):
Thank you, Dan.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Thank you for that. I got you guys. Terry in Seattle. Hi, Terry.
What do you have for me?

Speaker 18 (28:25):
Hey, good morning as usual, Dan and Danette. Dan, As
the field general of the man cave, you're savvy enough
to know that you need to keep Pauly fresh for
the Not So Fast show. So you bring in Big
Day Ray, who could also be known as The Closer.
And what would his walk-in song be?

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Ray, your walk-in song?

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Who's The Closer with the trumpets? He used to be
on the Mets.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Edwin Diaz.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
Edwin Diaz. I would like the trumpets before I come in.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Thank you, Ray.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Brig in Ohio.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hey, Dan.

Speaker 13 (29:10):
First time, long time, 6'7, and it's thick, 230.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Question for you. Do the Cleveland Browns have the most
loyal fan base in all of sports?

Speaker 8 (29:23):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I mean, they've been through a lot. The Browns have,
you know, that's a loyal fan base. Is there anybody
else that you would put up there? The Cubs, those
are loyal fans over the years. The Bills, Bills have
great fans. That's loyalty. Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Pre-2004 Red Sox.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah. Raider fans.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, they're something.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, there's quite a few loyal fan bases. Yes, Mark.

Speaker 7 (29:52):
You win. I'm going to go with the Raiders because
they've gone from city to city and they stick with them.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals. Very loyal. Thank you for the
phone call, Brig. How about we take a break? Last
call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store
for Monday.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
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. Give
me the upset alert. The upset alert, not.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
The most must-win game of the weekend, but the one
where you say, I won't be surprised if that team
beats that team. Ray, I'm starting with you up front.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
How about No. 25 Missouri against Florida? Missouri's at home.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now, wait a minute. Is this one of those double
trap games?

Speaker 6 (30:43):
I'm taking the double trap game out. I'm done with
the double trap.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
But No. 25 Missouri against Florida at home.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Okay. Dylan.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I'm taking the Dolphins over the Vikings straight up.

Speaker 16 (30:58):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Marvin.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
The Jets over the Bears.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Jets getting three and a half. Todd, do you have
a game that will not surprise you if it's an upset?

Speaker 9 (31:12):
I was going to take the Jets-Bears, but now I'm
going to grab, sorry, Dylan, the Titans shocking the Ravers
in Baltimore.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
What?

Speaker 12 (31:18):
What?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Now that would shock me. How about the Patriots beating
the Bills in Buffalo? I would not be surprised if
that happened. Dylan, final results of the poll questions. We'll
have this day in sports history as well. Sneak in
a couple more phone calls.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Well, off of our buddy who called in from Albany,
the Titans and Pirates fan, I figured we should ask,
have you ever met anyone who's a Titans and Pirates fan?
Because I have not. And turns out 17% have, which
is much higher than I would have guessed.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Okay. What else do you have?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Are the Raiders a competitor or a contender? 82% say
they're a competitor. Whose looming extension feels the murkiest right now?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Wait, I thought we were asking about the Raiders or
the Browns.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
We did, and then I forgot to put it up.
But I'm going to guess.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
No, no, no, we're not doing that.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
More people believe in the Raiders, I think.

Speaker 7 (32:14):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
We're going to find out an awful lot about the
Raiders this week.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
You're damn right we are.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
That seems to be how everybody is prefacing this. You know,
Raiders are undefeated, but we're going to find out a
lot about them against the Chiefs. Yes, Marvin?

Speaker 16 (32:27):
J.J.

Speaker 7 (32:27):
Watt's doing that game.

Speaker 15 (32:29):
Is he?

Speaker 8 (32:30):
I don't know why we got to do that right
before the show. It's a sensitive topic.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Broncos in the Niners?

Speaker 8 (32:35):
No, Kevin Harlan and Trent Green. There was a big
change at the last minute. They didn't bring it to
my attention.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now give me a taste of how Kevin Harlan might
be calling this game with the Niners and the Broncos.

Speaker 7 (32:46):
The Broncos are down 10-3, and it's the fourth quarter,
and you know what that means.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's Bo Nix time.

Speaker 8 (32:51):
Back to pass Bo.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Across to the left.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
He's going to 25. He's going to 20.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
He's taking it himself.

Speaker 19 (32:55):
He's going in.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
This game is tied with 116 to go in the
fourth quarter. This is the NFL on CBS.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
Thank you, Todd.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
How about this day in sports, Marvin?

Speaker 7 (33:06):
All right, DP. I got one for you. 1920, the
Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates played the only triple
header in baseball history. The Reds won two of the
three games.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
It was 1947, Yogi Berra, the first pinch hit home
run in World Series history off Ralph Branca. Isn't Ralph
known for a couple of things there in the postseason?
Probably not. Bucky Dent, 1978, Bucky Dent home run. At Fenway? Yes, Marvin?

Speaker 7 (33:42):
Bucky who?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Bucky effing Dent. 2016, Vin Scully calls his final Dodgers game,
retiring after 67 baseball seasons. Yes, Todd?

Speaker 8 (33:57):
And Dodgers baseball is brought to you by Farmer John's.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Darren in Oregon. Thank you, Darren.

Speaker 12 (34:06):
Hey, Dan.

Speaker 11 (34:06):
Hey, how are you doing?

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Good.

Speaker 11 (34:09):
You know what?

Speaker 12 (34:10):
With your nomination for the ESPYs for What Happened, this
is going to put you over the top to get
your coveted sports Emmy. And quickly, when you say thank you, Todd,
you know what it reminds me of? The show Leave
It to Beaver, when the oldest brother, Wally, would make

(34:33):
a snide comment about his.
Brother and the dad, Ward, would say, thank you, Wally.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Go easy on the beaver.

Speaker 7 (34:43):
Yes, Todd.

Speaker 8 (34:44):
I like thank you, Todd, a lot more than Freddie
in Iowa City.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
What do you got? Just totally ignoring anything I said.
Tommy in Madison. Hey, Tommy.

Speaker 19 (34:54):
Hey, Dan, you look absolutely dazzling today, Mr. Cleaver, but
Six foot, two bills. Congratulations on jumping on the Cleveland
Browns bandwagon with a statement like they've laid the foundation.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
No, no, no, Dan.

Speaker 19 (35:08):
They said that back in 2022 when they brought in
Deshaun Watson. They haven't brought in the foundation. It's cracked
and falling apart. But welcome to the bandwagon.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
No, no. There's promise there. There's promise there. The last
two drafts have been great. I think we can all
agree on that. Now, I don't like ownership there, but
I think Barry has done a good job as a GM.
And let's see what Monk can do. I mean, if
he can get, you know, good performance out of Deshaun Watson,

(35:40):
they have some playmakers there. They could be fun this year. Yes, Morgan.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (35:47):
They can do it because everybody hates the Knicks ownership
and they want an NBA title.

Speaker 8 (35:51):
So, come on.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Browns, let's go. 2027, it's your year.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
B in Chicago. Hi, B.

Speaker 12 (35:56):
Hey, Dan.

Speaker 14 (35:59):
I have a couple of questions. With Ray being occasionally
a front row guy, but usually a backroom guy, how
many at-bats does he need to qualify for MVD and LVD?

Speaker 2 (36:13):
I don't know how many hours that he'll be able
to log. He might not be able to be eligible
for either one. He might be kind of caught in
the middle of you know, most valuable BRG and most
valuable replacement Danette during the final hour of the program.
But he might win that award though. The best fill

(36:35):
in Danette for the final hour of the show and
the award goes to Big Day Ray.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
Stiff competition there.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
Is Ray kind of our Billy Preston? Billy Preston was
known as the fifth Beatle. Is he Billy? You know,
it's kind of like not a part of the four,
but he is a part of the four.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
It's a random poll.

Speaker 7 (36:52):
But it was a beautiful, don't you like that?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Billy Preston, I think, did he tour with the Stones
as well?

Speaker 7 (36:58):
He did.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Billy Preston.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
Oregon player?

Speaker 15 (37:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Yeah. All right.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Is the over-under for the Browns win total, has that
changed since last night, Ray?

Speaker 5 (37:10):
It has changed from the start of the season until now.
I don't know about last night, but if you would
like to guess what it is right now, it's surprisingly.

Speaker 6 (37:17):
High in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm going to say seven and a half.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
You're too good, Dan. Right at seven and a half.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Thank you, Ray. I should take the final three minutes
of the show off.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
Victory lap.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I just found out I'm going to be on the
show not so fast coming up after this show. They
just reached out to me, and they want to know
about the Cleveland Browns, if I'm all in on the
Cleveland Browns. Matt in Georgia.

Speaker 7 (37:43):
Hi, Matt.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
What do you have for me?

Speaker 10 (37:44):
What's going on, fellas? 6'2, twitchy, very light-skinned, 225cm. First
of all, Marvin, first day I saw you, you did
look like Michael Penance's uncle. A little heavier, but just
like him. Dan, I got an idea. Get the T-shirt
from yesterday authenticated. In 10 years, we sell it for
how many ever millions like the flu jersey game of Jordans.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Well, I did have a hoodie on yesterday. And I thought,
you know, we might look back on that moment that
I wore that like Jordan with the flu game. And
then maybe we auction it off. Yes, Ray.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Should we have Jay hang that up in the rafters
outside on the basketball court?

Speaker 9 (38:24):
No.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
He's got other things to worry about. Can we retire
jerseys here? Like outfits here? Todd, we would have retired
your oatmeal sweater.

Speaker 8 (38:37):
You definitely would have. I'm still looking for that.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
I can't find it.

Speaker 8 (38:40):
I think my wife threw it out.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
You keep everything.

Speaker 8 (38:42):
I wore that like three years in a row, which
probably reminds all of us to the holiday party.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yes, Marvin?

Speaker 7 (38:46):
I thought it was more like a nougat color.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
No, that was oatmeal. That was oatmeal. Yes, Dylan.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I know it's not necessarily the game-worn jersey, but I
would take your lavender windbreaker, maybe even over yesterday's flu
game hoodie.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Do you like this? I do.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm a big lavender guy.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
All I know is Ray's mom certainly liked it.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Great.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
If it works for you, it can work for anyone, right?

Speaker 8 (39:13):
Not everybody gets your sense of humor.

Speaker 7 (39:16):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I might have to explain that to your dad. who
came to work today as well.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Reading on his Kindle all day.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Todd, what'd you learn today?

Speaker 9 (39:26):
You prefer the poppy side of John Mayer's music, who
somehow got booked for several dates at the time.

Speaker 8 (39:30):
Sphere in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Dylan.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
I guess we're going to have to hook Shay up
to a car battery next time.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Well, he can't get executed in Tennessee either.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
No, he can't.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Marvin.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
Shay is tougher than Dylan.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh, that's true.
