Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour on this Monday, Dan and the
Dan Nets.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Dan Patrick Show more of your phone calls, best and
worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked
you didn't like. With the Cardinals elimination from playoff contention,
their record now for the least playoff appearances is eleven
seasons out of one hundred and five. I think the Texans,
(00:28):
by comparison, have made the playoffs in eight of their
twenty three seasons. Staff of Theda brought to you by
Panini America. The official trading cards of the program eight
seven to seven three DP show more phone calls, best
(00:49):
and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you
liked and you didn't like? Man, you look at the
Cardinals and I did watch a little bit of the game,
and you know, the Kyleer Murray experience experiment is over.
Feels like that's just a healthy scratch. You know, we'll
move on from you and he'll get another opportunity because
(01:10):
he's young and he's talented. That's just a question of
will he listen to somebody, will he let somebody coach him?
And I go back to he was so talented in
high school, it just felt like he could get by
on just talent alone. And Michael Vick is the same way.
He had so much talent that you don't put in
(01:30):
the time because you don't have to put in the time.
And that's where I would argue and say, Michael Jordan
and Tiger Woods two of the greatest athletes ever, they
put in the time. Tiger was maniacal, and Mike played
at North Carolina understanding basketball concepts with Dean Smith. He
(01:52):
was able to build upon that. Now, when he first
got to the NBA, it was about Mike and that's
when Phil Jackson said, do you want to be one
of the all time greats, then you got to win championships.
And Michael was all in on winning championships, taking less money,
building a roster, and he became the all time greatest
player in NBA history. And Tiger is on the short
(02:14):
list of greatest golfers of all time. But putting in
the effort, and that's what I wonder with Kyler Murray
and a lot of guys will get to the point
where they're in the NFL and they're making good money,
and then they don't want to put in the extra time,
but at that position you must. It's imperative that you
have a steady relationship with your head coach and your
(02:35):
offensive coordinator. They understand what you do well, you understand
what you need to work on. That's for a rookie quarterback,
a first, second, third year Kyler Murray is too deep
into his career where he's still making mistakes and I
don't think that he's all in. I mean, we haven't
seen what he can be. And I do think that
(02:56):
he could go to a team and maybe surprise us
because he still has that talent.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yes, Marvin, are the Cardinals on the short list of
like most irrelevant franchises of all time? Besides the Kurt
Warner years. I can't remember a time where, man, you
gotta watch it for the Cardinals this.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Year, yeah, I would think.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So we don't talk about them, and if we do,
it's usually not positive or we'll say, hey, the super
Bowl is at the whole home of the Cardinals. Cardinals
aren't playing, but the super Bowl is, you know, in Glendale, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yeah, I'm just looking back at their history and like
you said, six playoff appearances in forty years plus and
he just bounced around with quarterbacks that have like a
Sias and then plumber than Jeff Blake, then Kurt Warner,
which was great, then Matt Lioner, and then just it's
very mishmash.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
You also had h UCLA quarterback Josh Rose. Yeah. Aiden
in Utah, Good morning, Aidan. What's on your mind today morning?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
DP?
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Yeah? Uh, Denver beat a good team and looks great.
I am more than I was worried about the offense
last thirteen weeks and then bo Nix turned into the
next John Elway, So that's great. I wanted to talk
about the other the Heisman ceremony, the Heisen winner and
the runner up play for Indiana and Vanderbilt. What a
(04:22):
time to be alive.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Dad, Once in a lifetime, in my lifetime, if you
would have said, you know, by the way, you're going
to have the two top Heisman Trophy vote getters at
Vandy and Indy, and I'd be like Indiana and Vanderbilt, huh.
But they put up great years and they were great
stories as well. Robert and Sacramento. Hi, Robert, what's on
(04:44):
your mind?
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Hey? Good morning guys.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Thanks for taking the call. Dan with you, being a
Heisman voter, I'm curious of your perspective on this, and
then if you can get some perspective on the Heisman
Committee reacts to things like this. But you look at
the voting and you got a guy, the quarterback from
from Georgia Tech getting two first place of those How
is that not a mockery of the voting system. And
(05:07):
does the Heisman Committee look at that and say, Okay,
you don't get a voting more because obviously you're not
taking it seriously. And how do you feel as a
voter who takes it seriously? And see these see these
guys do that? I mean, we get it in every sport.
I get it, But isn't it just doesn't it just
bring it down enough just a little bit and I'll think,
I'll think you're gonna throp the air. But kind of
(05:28):
bugged me a little bit this weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, they don't. They don't ask us for our reasoning.
And I think there's too many Heisman voters. They're close
to nine hundred Heisman voters. I think that they have
to lessen that. And you know, there's nothing wrong with
getting you know, let's say forty five members of the media,
and you could have conference calls like you want to
(05:52):
make sure you uphold the integrity of this and you know,
why are you voting for that guy? You know, the
linebacker exi Tech Rodriguez. He got some first place votes.
I'm fine with that. You know Robert Griffin Junior, the
third he came on. He even said during the broadcast,
I think he should be the Heisman Trophy winner. Okay,
(06:13):
if you can back that up, great, that's your vote.
I don't think you can say, what is it? Hayden
King and Haines Kines King good quarterback? Yeah, yeah, and
good story. But could I say he's the best player
that I saw this year?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
No? Did he put up some interesting moments? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But it's tricky because you know, you're asking everybody to
kind of follow what the rules should be, and that
is watch as many games as possible. How many people
do that? Sometimes you have to go out of your
way to watch some of these candidates and maybe you
don't have the time to do that. I'm honored to
(06:54):
be a voter. I was an honor. It was an
honor to be a voter with the NBA Awards. It
was a privilege. Every single year. I got to do
that and I took it seriously. And the same thing
with the Heisman. I mean, Paulie, you know I'd go
back and forth. I grind over this stuff. You know,
is Toby Gerhardt, you know, a top three player, you know,
(07:17):
Manti Tale. We'd have these discussions. But I think you
need to have that so you don't have some And
what will happen is somebody might cover Georgia Tech and
then they might do somebody as solid. They might do
that for him locally. Hey, it's not going to impact
the Heisman. This wasn't a close race. But yeah, sometimes
(07:40):
you want to say to somebody, how could you come
up with that?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Yeah, Paulie, Yeah, I'm looking at the Heisman website right
now and there's very little rationale of who should be
the Heisman winner. It just as the most outstanding player
in college football, not about wins, losses or anything. Also,
there are over nine hundred voters. They're in every state.
They try to balance them regionally as well.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Coleslaw in Colorado A Coleslaw, Good.

Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
This According to Rob domofsky Covers, the Packers went to
the hospital cat scan doesn't have any long term injury.
They have the big game against the Bears coming up
on Saturday. Uh, let's see Packers coach Matt Lafleur. He
(10:50):
said that with Michael Parsons, uh, it doesn't look good,
but they don't have official confirmation on tearing his a
c O.
Speaker 15 (10:58):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Let's see. I think that's it.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's some of the football insiders. Adam and Michigan. Hi Adam,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Hey Dan? How's it going?
Speaker 16 (11:10):
Good?
Speaker 17 (11:12):
Good?
Speaker 18 (11:12):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (11:12):
Best and worst start with the worst lifetime Broncos fan.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Loved yesterday.
Speaker 16 (11:18):
That was a great win. Just hated to see micah
and Patrick Mahomes go down. Don't like to see the
Chiefs go out that way. So as a real bummer
for the league. But best of the weekend My Arizona
Wildcats first AP team ever to rack off five top
twenty five victories in their first nine games. Maybe this
(11:38):
is the year Old Daniel comes around on my Wildcats.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I watch Michigan against Maryland. That's a good team because
Maryland played really well. Michigan's good team and they don't
just win, they win big Phil and Iowa, Hi Phil,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (11:58):
Five to six and a salty one thirty.
Speaker 14 (12:03):
Worse of the weekend again, the Mahomes injury. It's terrible,
horrible way to end twenty twenty five. I mean it's
not over, might as well be back to the weekend.
I was slipping through holiday movies last night on Peacock
and Diehard was in.
Speaker 19 (12:20):
There, so I suppose we can put that debate to.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Bed, right. Oh yeah, yeah, Diehard is Christmas movie. Yeah,
I have no problem with that. I mean it all
takes place at a Christmas party.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yeah, Paul, it's like Christmas adjacent Christmas and the holidays
aren't the focal point of the movie, like, hey, we're
gonna be late for Christmas or there's an incident at
the in loss house, but it's full of holiday songs
the entire time. It revolves around Christmas.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
In the years, I'm okay, Christmas adjacent right, Christmas, Jason, Yeah,
maybe a new category there. I mean, it's not Christmas story, Ralphy.
Speaker 12 (12:54):
That's the focal point.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, because it's all about Christmas. And uh the bb gun,
the red Red Rider. You gotta shoot your eye, my mom,
you say that all the time. I never got one.
Speaker 15 (13:08):
By the way, I got a compass in the stuck.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I remember one of my brothers got a sling shot
and then it was.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
He's going to put somebody's eye out.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Probably mine, since I was the younger brother, I was
gonna still. I don't know how this happened. Sunday morning,
we're going to church and my brother, who had a
BB gun, said stand against the tree. And I stood
against the tree and he shot me in the thigh.
And I was like, how stupid am I? And then
(13:40):
my mom was like, oh, stop crying, I got shot
with a baby gun.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Well, you never should have stood there.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
My almost brother told me to stand there or he's
going to beat me up.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yes, Paul, what year do you think child safety became
a big thing in our country? Which is a weird
question to ask, but nobody wore seat belts in the seventies.
Smoking in vehicles, smoking in airplanes.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Smoking in airplanes is still mind bogged.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Remember it was like Row thirty was no smoking and
thirty one I was smoking, as if that invisible barrier
would protect your lungs.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, because my wife and I sat in the last row,
non smoking, going to London for our honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So the guy behind me is smoking. Heaters good?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I mean, just thinking about ashes and starting a fire
on a plane. I can't get through this flight. I
got a smoke a hater here. Yeah, more I loved.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I went to Red Lobster once with my family when
I was a kid, and they were like smoking, section
of non smoking and smoking.
Speaker 13 (14:42):
This is wild.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I can't believe that was a real thing back then.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Uh yeah, I don't know when that changed. Now there's
certain bars in New York, and I do think if
you say we're a smoking bar, then okay, at least
you're told that it's a smoking bar.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Like I understand it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I grew up with parents who smoked and two brothers
who smoked. But I felt like it was in the
nineties when it all came crashing down where they were
all of a sudden, nobody's allowed to smoke.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
In the late nineties, I worked at a bar and
you could still smoke, but it was very unpopular. I
think it was early two thousands they outlawed smoking in
bars in restaurant, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Because you'd always see people outside the bar. They'd be
out there like nicotining up and then they'd go in
to have their drinks.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yes, ud as.
Speaker 11 (15:30):
Socially acceptable as it was, at least for us growing up.
I still couldn't believe they had them like in the
lobby of diners and in restaurants like a candy machine.
You could put money in and pull the handle in
like a box of cigarettes would come out of the
bottom as if you were getting like a coke.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Hey, but it had the warning on the side, so yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Surgeon General. Yeah, as my dad smoked camel non filter
three packs a day and died at age fifty four
of lung cancer.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Who saw that coming?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh, everybody, take a break. More phone calls coming up.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Fritzie just sent me the timeline of the text that
he sent to Nick. Right, I got four thirty three pm?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Is that right?
Speaker 13 (16:56):
That's the time I sent it.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
I would hope that I wasn't that incentive there three
and a half hours after a kickoff. That had to
be a decent amount of time after the injury to
uh and and I put very nicely to him, you know,
if you're up for it, trying to be sensitive to
his chief fandom.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
But it's not that far after. This was a one
o'clock game.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Yeah, but it wasn't like second while Mahomes is on
the field. I think he was a little dramatic, like
while he's being attended to, like, hey, howby can you
come on tomorrow?
Speaker 13 (17:22):
It's been three months?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Was the game still going on?
Speaker 11 (17:24):
I don't know if it got to the final buzzer yet,
but it was. It wasn't like right immediately.
Speaker 13 (17:28):
After b went down.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I wouldn't do that, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It sounded like and Nick was saying that maybe you
were not being that sensitive as he loses his quarterback.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
But then you run the risk if I wait till
later in the evening. Then it's then it's like, oh,
I wish you would have told me sooner. I already
got booked up, so I got to, like, you know,
make sure I navigate that.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Okay, Yeah, Paul, and the I team is checking on
the timeline as of course, you know we will. I
have the game just wrapping up the final minute of
the game, so the game.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
Is still active. Some people are asking about the tone
of Fritzy.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Who did he offer any solaced nick his favorite player
and team was out of the playoffs.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
I was gonna put sorry about your Chiefs, but I
don't think he would, knowing that I'm a big Bronco fan,
that would seem totally fake, which I've been called out
Frank Caliendo among others about being a fake kindness or
minimal kindness. So I just got right to the point
and said, if you're up for I thought that was
more than enough sensitivity, as opposed to saying, hey, how
about ten twenty tomorrow, congratuations to your Chiefs being out
of the place for the first time in a decade.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, Frank Callendo weirdly called you out not having any
sensitivity when you send text message that everybody gets my.
Speaker 13 (18:30):
Tone or if that's as you bern, you've been there.
I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Sam in La, Hi, Sam, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (18:37):
Hey?
Speaker 21 (18:38):
Thanks for taking my call. Dan, good morning and morning
and lieu of the Heisman Trophy winner. I did a
little research. I don't know if this is a stat
of the day, but it's primarily a quarterback award, the
Heisman Trophy not all the time. But I looked at
the exclusive smaller list of athletes who had the Heisman
(18:58):
Trophy the gold jacket from the Hall of Fame. Of
those numbers, what do you think what position?
Speaker 19 (19:06):
Dan?
Speaker 21 (19:06):
And Dan it's without looking at that, do you think
has the majority of Heisman Trophies and gold jackets?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
What position? Running back?
Speaker 21 (19:15):
You got it seventy percent. I mean there's only ten,
so seven of the ten, one quarterback, one defensive player,
and one wide receiver have a Heisman Trophy and a
gold jacket.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, thank you, Sam, stead of the day, Boss, stead
of the day.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Stat of the day. Here comes that.
Speaker 13 (19:36):
What stat of the day.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
to the Dan Patrick Show. We did best and worst
of the weekend. Apparently I blew by Marvin had a
worst of the weekend and I didn't get his worst
of the weekend.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
It's all right, and it's somewhat.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Series two actor and director Rob Reiner found dead yesterday,
him and his wife.
Speaker 13 (19:58):
Him and his wife in their La hall.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
He directed some of my favorite movies, stand By Me,
The Princess Bride, Man.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
This is spinal temp. Did he do that too? Did? Yeah?
And they have his son in custody.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Thirty three year old son who reportedly killed his mom
and dad.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, bo Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Rob Reiner's run is fascinating, spinal Tap, the Sure Thing,
stand by Me, Princess Bride, when Harry met Sally Misery,
a few good men, the American President. I mean that's
in a twelve year span.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
Yeah, Ton and before all that, All in the Family,
which was a major hit. Playing Michael Stivick, that was
that was pretty huge, before you even got to producing
and directing.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, Kevin in Michigan, Hike, Kevin, what's on your mind?
Speaker 22 (20:45):
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Best and worse, Kevin.
Speaker 22 (20:51):
So that's the worst. The best is probably not for
me but for my wife. After watching the Lions and
the debacle of that game. I told her I'm done
with NFL for the rest of the year, so she's
pretty excited about that. The worst is probably going to
be that horrendus called that Mike Perreira couldn't even answer.
(21:13):
So my question for you is when are these reps
going to start being held accountable for some of these
horrendous calls that are actually singing the outcome of games?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Okay, but what are you suggesting that they do. They're
graded after every game. Are you going to suspend them.
Speaker 22 (21:34):
They're not being held accountable though. It's just a slap
on the wrist and they move on to the next game.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, that might prevent them from doing playoff games, which
is extra money. But they're graded after every performance. Oh,
I don't know what you want them to do. Full
time referees. Everybody keeps talking about that. I don't know
what that means. When you're a full time referee as a
opposed to this, are you practicing more?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I don't. Are you going to a flag football game?
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Like?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Do you drive around neighborhoods and you go, oh, in
backyard game?
Speaker 11 (22:09):
There?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Let me go there?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Uh at that's motion illega motion, hands to the vase.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
Yes, Pauline, Yeah, there's really nothing you could do.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
They've got the sky judge, they've got replay, they've got
more officials on the field than they've ever had.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
I don't know what the fix would be.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
No, yeah, don't do that word fixed.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Scott and Scottsdale. That's Scott and Scottsdale.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Hey, Dan, you still my thunder Earlier with respect to
the Cardinals, it's a long time, long suffering Raider fan.
After having moved from California, I adopted the Cardinals slaps
and plates on both my truck and my wife's car,
only to now drive out of my parking lot every
morning and see my neighbor or go to the gym
(22:54):
or the market and just get chastised by the locals.
They're even smarting. I'm not to have done as much.
I should have thought that through a little bit more, obviously,
But I still have time. As a matter of fact,
I have today off, so I'll be going down there
and probably changing those.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
Out as quickly as possible.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
But it's ridiculous that Murray situation has to go down
as one of the worst. You get the kid out
of the UCLA a few years prior to him. I
don't know who's making decisions over there, but there as
mine are.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Thank you, Scott, good luck. We talked about this last year.
I focused this year on the Broncos and also the Commanders.
When you win one score games, when you win in
the final couple of minutes, now, it says a lot
about your coach, says a lot about your quarterback. But
it's really hard to live with that razor thin margin
(23:46):
of victory. The Chiefs will miss the playoffs for the
first time since twenty fourteen.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Last year, the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Were twelve and zero in one score games, including the playoffs.
In fact, you go back to twenty twenty, they won
seventeen consecutive games by eight points or less. This year,
they played eight one score games. They won one.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Startup the day, start of the day, start of the day,
start of the day, statu.
Speaker 17 (24:18):
The day STATU day startup.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
To day start You take Mahomes for granted, he'll somehow
figure it out.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (24:27):
Yeah, that's those numbers that you just listed off is
exactly how I got to them not making the playoffs
this year, because last year they barely squeaked by all
these teams and then in the offseas and did absolutely
nothing to upgrade the team. It's just like, well, chances
are they're not going to start blowing people out with
the same group so and chances are they're probably not
gonna be able to squeak by all those teams again
(24:48):
a second season three.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And that was my logic with the Commanders. They won
a lot of these games in the last couple of minutes,
and I didn't have them making the playoffs. Now, Jade
and Daniels got injured obviously that impacted their season. Steven Syracuse, Hi, Steve,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 16 (25:05):
Then?
Speaker 10 (25:06):
First time, long time I got this image as I
saw mister Mahomes being escorted off the field as he's
walking down the tunnel. I thought it would have been
cool if a kid with a coke would have given
him a drink and Patrick handed him his jersey.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Well, one is make believe and one is real.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
The move may not been right.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, they paid me and Joe Green to limp off
the field and throw the kid.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Is that actually did happen?
Speaker 18 (25:37):
Just Patrick doesn't like cameras around because he's that selfless
of a person, So it did actually happen.
Speaker 15 (25:41):
We just he said no, no, no, no, no cameras, don't
release them.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
It was Nick Wright who was there ready to give
him a Coca cola. Jeff and Baltimore. Hi, Jeff, Hey,
thanks for sat Nicole.
Speaker 19 (25:53):
Yep, that's and worst Army Navy best obviously for obvious reasons.
But I have a worse from this from that game
as well. I have a friend of mine who lives
in Baltimore. Her son flies one of the Chinooks that
actually did the flyover of the game on Saturday, and
she sent me the actual test runs because the young
(26:14):
man sends the video of the test run that they're
going to do and how excited they are for as
a family. So I tune in Saturday, and if I'm
not mistaken, the worst thing is I think CBS blew
it and during the national anthem and even after I
think they cut and went to commercial, never saw the flyover.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, i'd have to get some of my best people
on that, but I'm going to trust your observation there, Jeff.
I don't remember the flyover. I remember President Trump was
trying to flip the coin, but other than that, I
don't remember too much. Of the beginning of that Jake
in Texas. Hi, Jake, what's on your mind?
Speaker 23 (26:54):
Yeah, good morning, Dan, first off five to eleven, two
forty seven at eleven percent fat, I know, a lot
of years just per Yeah, so best and worst?
Speaker 16 (27:05):
Best?
Speaker 23 (27:06):
How about those fighting Texas Aggie volleyball team taking on
the number one Nebraska corn Husters down.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah it was great.
Speaker 23 (27:12):
Yeah, not a huge volleyball fan, but I'll tune in.
I'll tune in. And worst man didn't really hit me
till Saturday or Sunday. This battered Aggie syndrome leading up
to the game, stress death.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Calm forward.
Speaker 23 (27:27):
Around here, we're just cranking it up by the minute.
So hopefully those Aggies can pull out a win. If not,
it's been a good season. We'll take it. You know this,
this doesn't happen much around here. So hope you all
have a good one.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, good luck, good luck? Interesting, best and worst
of the weekend, Yeah, Martin.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You'll take it. You know much money they spend. Yeah,
they're not okay with just a playoff appearance. M M,
what do you mean they'll take it?
Speaker 12 (27:52):
They're hosting Miami.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, you don't just make the playoffs you got to
win a couple of games in there, Brooks and Florida. Hey, Brooks,
best be worst of the weekend.
Speaker 24 (28:03):
Yeah, Dan, I got a best and a bestist for you.
Best is a d Day Lagway apparently entering the transfer portal.
I think it'll be good for him and for the programs.
And bestis is going to be the Panthers losing to
the Saints, and my bucks can take all the help
that we can get. So I was happy to see
that one go down.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, And I warned you, you know you're gonna you're
now going to count on Carolina winning a game. If
you're a Panther fan, you're hoping not expecting them. And
that's when I said, the team that is considered the
inferior team you see wins these games. It's crazy in
the NFC sound And that happened, Carolina losing and now
(28:44):
it comes down to basically Carolina versus h Baker Mayfield Junior.
The third in Tampa and two of the last three games.
Take a break, last call for phone calls. What we learn,
what's in store tomorrow after this. Fox Sports Radio has
the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all
of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within
(29:06):
the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live with permission.
We should probably publicize Todd's text in despair whenever somebody's
having a bad day or the team's just lost or
something happened, and then Todd sends a text there the
text in despair.
Speaker 13 (29:24):
Because I'm so sensitive.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, you do lack sensitivity. Sometimes sometimes you're overly sensitive.
Speaker 13 (29:30):
I did that to Ray a while back.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
His line has lost a really bad game, like a
deep into the players that getting ready for the super
Bowl almost and I'm like, how are we doing on
that one sheet for their questions for tomorrow?
Speaker 18 (29:39):
Happen to have that text right here, dad. As a
matter of fact, Ray sent it to me in the back.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Oh he did.
Speaker 18 (29:43):
There's like, this is a good time to remind everyone
on to today. Tough game, today, great season, the Lewis
Ridick of ten twenty cool for the one sheet.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Essentially how horrible so big day.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Ray is producer of the Gambling Show and he does
our above the noise. He does a lot of great
things around here, and he comes up with a one
sheet that's all the information and uh suggested questions we're
going to ask a guest. So the Lions just lost.
Was that to the Niners in the NFC title game?
Speaker 13 (30:11):
I think it wasn't Week six, I guess Arizona.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It was a painful loss. It was NFC title game.
And you sent him a note just after the gang.
Speaker 13 (30:21):
That was a bleep move by me.
Speaker 11 (30:22):
Looking back on that, I don't know what I was thinking,
because if there was the other way around, I would
be beyond furious if the Broncos looked like a divisional
playoff for an NFC.
Speaker 15 (30:29):
Title nine, three pm Eastern.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
And then Frank Kellendo, who's one of the nicest people
you ever meet. We're out in Vegas and he's saying
that you lack sensitivity when your text people.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
I think he reads through my over nicest end.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
He's decided that there's something phony there, that like, that's
just a little too nice. And sometimes I put it,
you know, I've put it up a little too much
where it looks like it's just.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
Phony or No.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
He was saying that Frank Kellendo went out to dinner
with like, I don't know, famous people, then rattle off
like three or four really really famous people and then
you wanted to have him on, and he's telling you, Hey, you.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Know, just had this great dinner.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
I thought, oh, yeah, that's a that's another thing, that's right.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
I said something like, wow, that sounds like a fun
thing to be a part of. Or sometimes I thought
I was saying something nice. Took it as sarcastic or
I don't know what he took it out.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I don't think you really embraced it.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Instead of saying, boy, i'd love to hear more about
that story, you were like, oh, yeah, it sounds like, hey,
can you join us at nine twenty tomorrow?
Speaker 13 (31:28):
And it sounded like my big part of my response.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
It sounded like to him like nice to name drop
anywhere are you're coming by tomorrow?
Speaker 13 (31:33):
And what I need to know if you're in?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
That is true? Frank could have been name dropping there.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
It totally was.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yes, Todd's career of automated niceness seems to be gone
because with Nick Wright, he didn't even say, hey, sorry
about Mahomes tough break, could you join us tomorrow to
wrap up the season with the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, But he said he didn't want to do that
because then it might come off as and being.
Speaker 11 (31:54):
A big Bronco fan, and I thought it was enough
just to say, if you're up for it, which hinted
at the fact that I'm sure you're not in a
very good mood with what happened to the Chiefs in
your quarterback. So that's why I started with if you're
up for it, if you want to join her, not
being with her for three months.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Historically, you probably would have said, hey, really, sorry for
your loss, can you join us tomorrow at ten twelve?
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Oh well, I guess the brothers have to worry about
the cheats or the player.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Hey, mahomes can't join us, can you?
Speaker 11 (32:20):
There's many ways to go with that would have been
very unincensive.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
My wife and were asked to play pickleball with another couple,
and I know that I can't. I'm too competitive, it's
not good. I'm you know, my body's too banged up.
And so my wife says, well why not? I said, hun,
they play in a league. No, we're not going down
this road. We've done this before. What happened the one
(32:49):
time we played pickleball? The two other people stormed off
the court, didn't even shake our hands. Then she goes, well,
you wouldn't do that I go. If pushed to the brink,
I will hunt. It's about winning. Winning is the only thing.
And then she goes, are you being serious?
Speaker 13 (33:07):
Serious?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I go, yes, like.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I was trying to get out of it. I got
out of this. I said, just say, I can't do it.
You know, you know I got a replacement me and
my body's a mess.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I mean it's a wonderland, but it's a mess.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Would you rather play an hour pickleball and then go
home or a two hour dinner with lots of conversations.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I'd rather do two hours at dinner. I can't do
the pickleball. And they're in a league. They probably have
color coordinated outfits, and they know all the terminology. And
I just I said, hon, if you want to keep
them as friends, then we shouldn't play pickleball.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yes, Mart, I'm surprised that your wife asked you about
your seriousness when it comes to being competitive. Like you
guys been married for a long time, like our wives
know us, like doesn't like soon knows you.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yes, she knows that this isn't good. I tell her
it's not good. I don't play board games. I don't
want to play board even with my kids. I was
competitive in board games. It's just not good. I don't
want to do it. And instead of playing and then
all of a sudden, you know, upsetting somebody because of
my competitiveness, and I just said, no, we're not going
(34:17):
to do that. Just send him a fruit basket or something.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Also, to your point, beating your kids in board games
it's character building.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yes, I agree. Yeah. I mean I went after my son.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I remember, with shoots and ladders, and he was young,
and I wanted I won, and I let him know that.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
It all shoots for him, yeah, just.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Ladders for me.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
Yes.
Speaker 18 (34:44):
I always let my son do well up until a point, right.
I'd let it be competitive, you know, be like, yeah, man,
you're doing really well. Until he got out of line.
He might say one comment. He might make one comment
and be like, all right, give me the ball. Check
it out. No matter what it was, it doesn't matter
what worry. If it was soccer, if it's bad, okay,
cool the ball, check it out. What's the score.
Speaker 15 (35:01):
Boom.
Speaker 18 (35:01):
I'd just rattle off, didn't matter how many points I needed.
I'd be like one, two, three, And then he would
get mad. He would get the hint.
Speaker 15 (35:08):
And then say, okay, see, now we could go back
to play and where it's more fun.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
And I'm reminded every year at this time of the
year because I did say to all four of my children,
who were probably somewhere between four and eleven years of age,
that if they didn't beat me in a race, then
they got no gifts for Christmas.
Speaker 13 (35:28):
That's so mean.
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Fantini two.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, and they didn't beat me, and they came in
and oh they they're like throwing their bodies on the floor,
they're crying.
Speaker 18 (35:39):
Is this right around the time that you were canceling
your birthday parties for three year olds or a different era.
Speaker 13 (35:44):
It's like child cool.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Well, no, Mollie got her three, four, five, You canceled
all of those birthdays.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Was this around the same Christmas window? Or yeah, okay,
got it?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Noted she was she was born in June, so this
is six months in between.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Every six months. Yeah, I do well, very good.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
She deserved those four consecutive birthdays canceled. And that's hard
to do where you say to a four, five, six,
and seven year old. By her seventh year, she said,
I'm not getting a birthday party, and my wife and
I go no, you're not.
Speaker 12 (36:21):
She was the Buffalo Bills a birthday.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
She did have a great run, she did.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
She she's the Buffalo Bills for birthday four consecutive four
years old, four years but a dangerous four years old.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Stand by it.
Speaker 18 (36:38):
Yes, at this point I feel like you got to
you can't wait for and start backing out now, I
shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
We do not say that.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
By the time we got to the fourth one, she
had locked herself in the bathroom and we blew out
the candles without her.
Speaker 13 (36:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
My wife would walk.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
By and go, all right, you just hear yep, we
go happy birthday.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Because there's a difference between canceling a party and having
a party amongst someone where they can't even participate.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, it got kind of canceled, and we still had
that one that when she got to at least the playing.
Speaker 18 (37:16):
Field, she was there for the national land. The other
one she wasn't there for the flyover. She was not,
which is somehow you found a way to make it worse. Yeah,
we did. We had the birthday.
Speaker 15 (37:25):
Party without you, even though you were here.
Speaker 18 (37:27):
What we weren't planning on is even worse than were
canceling a four year old's birthday.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
We weren't planning on canceling.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
Who would I mean, who would plan on canceling it?
Were you at the point where after three.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
We didn't know if it was hanging in the balance,
I will say that, but it could have been. There
could have been a subcurrent there that my daughter knew
that this was on thin eye.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
She has time.
Speaker 13 (37:48):
Did you knock on the bathroom to make a wish
in there?
Speaker 11 (37:50):
You got a couple of seconds, get it out, Just
get a wish and that's all you're gonna get today.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
No, didn't do that. My wife's tougher than me. She's
the one that you know, it's like, no, no birthday.
And I'd be like, damn, yes, shit, throw an egg
at your son, three of them, three eggs, three eggs
off his forehead.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
But he had it coming. That's what you get, Yes,
got it, come on, tough, on up a little bit eggs. Well, no, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
In the context of it was breakfast, and you know,
I have three other kids, and my son was sitting
there going he wanted a certain kind of egg. I
want this, and my wife said, you know, wait, I
want wait, wait, and he said it again, and she
took an egg boom off the forehead, and egg off
the forehead and egg off the forehead. Wow, my son
(38:44):
has grown up to be Okay, he's okay.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
He's done.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Okay, he's not he's not scarred by eggs. You know,
we go into a you know, a diner. Uh, you
sees his eggs and starts trembling.
Speaker 12 (38:56):
He got a farm and he just starts.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Shaking poach poached eggs. Yes, it's got.
Speaker 13 (39:00):
Accept your low cholesterolf of fring of eggs. What happened?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
But you know what, he had it coming. He had
it coming. Jake and Cincinnati coome Morning Jake. What's on
your mind?
Speaker 17 (39:12):
Dan? First time caller, longtime listener six one two fifteen
for the weekend My thirtieth birthday falling on Friday and
getting snowed in at the local watering hole with all
the fellows. Worst is being a Bangle Sea ticket holder. Hey,
my bobbies and I were at dinner on Friday night.
We all agreed that you would be in our top
(39:33):
three people to get a beer with. My question is
who are your top three dead or alive?
Speaker 10 (39:38):
No particular order.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Would be just you guys, Jake, you guys would be
my top three awesome. Well, thank you, Jake, Ryan in Montana.
I don't want to have a beer with anybody. Best
beer I have is by myself. Although I did have
a beer with Damn LeBatard on Friday, and he's the
(39:59):
kind of guy that doesn't leave like he just stays.
Speaker 12 (40:03):
He's not Dan leave Batard.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
Blue Blue.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
And then I was going to have dinner with Nick Wright.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
So then Dan Levotard followed me to the restaurant and
sat down with us, and uh, finally Levitard left.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
Everyone hear this, He'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
What was love like?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, he didn't ask me. Did I grow up with
love in the house or something like that? Todd, would
you learn today?
Speaker 11 (40:31):
The chief situation right now feels rebuildish, not reloaded. And
you believe Travis Kelsey is done Satan.
Speaker 15 (40:37):
Todd got Nick right with his minimum kindness as.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Well as he did Marvin Levatar with a third wheel.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
And he didn't even bring his wife, which that would
at least helped out matters.
Speaker 12 (40:47):
Paul Nick Wright's going to be okay.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Thanks for the phone calls, emails, tweets, the all around support.
Have yourself a great day, everybody. We look forward to
chatting with you tomorrow.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour on this Monday, Dan and the
Dan Nets.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Dan Patrick Show more of your phone calls, best and
worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked
you didn't like. With the Cardinals elimination from playoff contention,
their record now for the least playoff appearances is eleven
seasons out of one hundred and five. I think the Texans,
(00:28):
by comparison, have made the playoffs in eight of their
twenty three seasons. Staff of Theda brought to you by
Panini America. The official trading cards of the program eight
seven to seven three DP show more phone calls, best
(00:49):
and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you
liked and you didn't like? Man, you look at the
Cardinals and I did watch a little bit of the game,
and you know, the Kyleer Murray experience experiment is over.
Feels like that's just a healthy scratch. You know, we'll
move on from you and he'll get another opportunity because
(01:10):
he's young and he's talented. That's just a question of
will he listen to somebody, will he let somebody coach him?
And I go back to he was so talented in
high school, it just felt like he could get by
on just talent alone. And Michael Vick is the same way.
He had so much talent that you don't put in
(01:30):
the time because you don't have to put in the time.
And that's where I would argue and say, Michael Jordan
and Tiger Woods two of the greatest athletes ever, they
put in the time. Tiger was maniacal, and Mike played
at North Carolina understanding basketball concepts with Dean Smith. He
(01:52):
was able to build upon that. Now, when he first
got to the NBA, it was about Mike and that's
when Phil Jackson said, do you want to be one
of the all time greats, then you got to win championships.
And Michael was all in on winning championships, taking less money,
building a roster, and he became the all time greatest
player in NBA history. And Tiger is on the short
(02:14):
list of greatest golfers of all time. But putting in
the effort, and that's what I wonder with Kyler Murray
and a lot of guys will get to the point
where they're in the NFL and they're making good money,
and then they don't want to put in the extra time,
but at that position you must. It's imperative that you
have a steady relationship with your head coach and your
(02:35):
offensive coordinator. They understand what you do well, you understand
what you need to work on. That's for a rookie quarterback,
a first, second, third year Kyler Murray is too deep
into his career where he's still making mistakes and I
don't think that he's all in. I mean, we haven't
seen what he can be. And I do think that
(02:56):
he could go to a team and maybe surprise us
because he still has that talent.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yes, Marvin, are the Cardinals on the short list of
like most irrelevant franchises of all time? Besides the Kurt
Warner years. I can't remember a time where, man, you
gotta watch it for the Cardinals this.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Year, yeah, I would think.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So we don't talk about them, and if we do,
it's usually not positive or we'll say, hey, the super
Bowl is at the whole home of the Cardinals. Cardinals
aren't playing, but the super Bowl is, you know, in Glendale, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yeah, I'm just looking back at their history and like
you said, six playoff appearances in forty years plus and
he just bounced around with quarterbacks that have like a
Sias and then plumber than Jeff Blake, then Kurt Warner,
which was great, then Matt Lioner, and then just it's
very mishmash.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
You also had h UCLA quarterback Josh Rose. Yeah. Aiden
in Utah, Good morning, Aidan. What's on your mind today morning?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
DP?
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Yeah? Uh, Denver beat a good team and looks great.
I am more than I was worried about the offense
last thirteen weeks and then bo Nix turned into the
next John Elway, So that's great. I wanted to talk
about the other the Heisman ceremony, the Heisen winner and
the runner up play for Indiana and Vanderbilt. What a
(04:22):
time to be alive.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Dad, Once in a lifetime, in my lifetime, if you
would have said, you know, by the way, you're going
to have the two top Heisman Trophy vote getters at
Vandy and Indy, and I'd be like Indiana and Vanderbilt, huh.
But they put up great years and they were great
stories as well. Robert and Sacramento. Hi, Robert, what's on
(04:44):
your mind?
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Hey? Good morning guys.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Thanks for taking the call. Dan with you, being a
Heisman voter, I'm curious of your perspective on this, and
then if you can get some perspective on the Heisman
Committee reacts to things like this. But you look at
the voting and you got a guy, the quarterback from
from Georgia Tech getting two first place of those How
is that not a mockery of the voting system. And
(05:07):
does the Heisman Committee look at that and say, Okay,
you don't get a voting more because obviously you're not
taking it seriously. And how do you feel as a
voter who takes it seriously? And see these see these
guys do that? I mean, we get it in every sport.
I get it, But isn't it just doesn't it just
bring it down enough just a little bit and I'll think,
I'll think you're gonna throp the air. But kind of
(05:28):
bugged me a little bit this weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, they don't. They don't ask us for our reasoning.
And I think there's too many Heisman voters. They're close
to nine hundred Heisman voters. I think that they have
to lessen that. And you know, there's nothing wrong with
getting you know, let's say forty five members of the media,
and you could have conference calls like you want to
(05:52):
make sure you uphold the integrity of this and you know,
why are you voting for that guy? You know, the
linebacker exi Tech Rodriguez. He got some first place votes.
I'm fine with that. You know Robert Griffin Junior, the
third he came on. He even said during the broadcast,
I think he should be the Heisman Trophy winner. Okay,
(06:13):
if you can back that up, great, that's your vote.
I don't think you can say, what is it? Hayden
King and Haines Kines King good quarterback? Yeah, yeah, and
good story. But could I say he's the best player
that I saw this year?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
No? Did he put up some interesting moments? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But it's tricky because you know, you're asking everybody to
kind of follow what the rules should be, and that
is watch as many games as possible. How many people
do that? Sometimes you have to go out of your
way to watch some of these candidates and maybe you
don't have the time to do that. I'm honored to
(06:54):
be a voter. I was an honor. It was an
honor to be a voter with the NBA Awards. It
was a privilege. Every single year. I got to do
that and I took it seriously. And the same thing
with the Heisman. I mean, Paulie, you know I'd go
back and forth. I grind over this stuff. You know,
is Toby Gerhardt, you know, a top three player, you know,
(07:17):
Manti Tale. We'd have these discussions. But I think you
need to have that so you don't have some And
what will happen is somebody might cover Georgia Tech and
then they might do somebody as solid. They might do
that for him locally. Hey, it's not going to impact
the Heisman. This wasn't a close race. But yeah, sometimes
(07:40):
you want to say to somebody, how could you come
up with that?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Yeah, Paulie, Yeah, I'm looking at the Heisman website right
now and there's very little rationale of who should be
the Heisman winner. It just as the most outstanding player
in college football, not about wins, losses or anything. Also,
there are over nine hundred voters. They're in every state.
They try to balance them regionally as well.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Coleslaw in Colorado A Coleslaw, Good.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Morning, Dan, five ten one sixty seven. I got some nicknames,
few things for Mendoza.

Okay, I've got Ronnie Latka, I've got John Candelaria.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now once again, if I don't react, it's because I've

Jerry Judy is too easy.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, Jerry Judy would not be one of my starting receivers.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
No, he would not.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, no, yeah, drade O blyd bly Yeah, and Andahonika.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'm just saying Jerry Judy as a football player.
Speaker 13 (10:19):
Yeah, he got a lot of drops in the time.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Not one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No.
Speaker 11 (10:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The Jets who fired their defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes Christian Watson.
Speaker 14 (10:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
This According to Rob domofsky Covers, the Packers went to
the hospital cat scan doesn't have any long term injury.
They have the big game against the Bears coming up
on Saturday. Uh, let's see Packers coach Matt Lafleur. He
(10:50):
said that with Michael Parsons, uh, it doesn't look good,
but they don't have official confirmation on tearing his a
c O.
Speaker 15 (10:58):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Let's see. I think that's it.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's some of the football insiders. Adam and Michigan. Hi Adam,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Hey Dan? How's it going?
Speaker 16 (11:10):
Good?
Speaker 17 (11:12):
Good?
Speaker 18 (11:12):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (11:12):
Best and worst start with the worst lifetime Broncos fan.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Loved yesterday.
Speaker 16 (11:18):
That was a great win. Just hated to see micah
and Patrick Mahomes go down. Don't like to see the
Chiefs go out that way. So as a real bummer
for the league. But best of the weekend My Arizona
Wildcats first AP team ever to rack off five top
twenty five victories in their first nine games. Maybe this
(11:38):
is the year Old Daniel comes around on my Wildcats.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I watch Michigan against Maryland. That's a good team because
Maryland played really well. Michigan's good team and they don't
just win, they win big Phil and Iowa, Hi Phil,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (11:58):
Five to six and a salty one thirty.
Speaker 14 (12:03):
Worse of the weekend again, the Mahomes injury. It's terrible,
horrible way to end twenty twenty five. I mean it's
not over, might as well be back to the weekend.
I was slipping through holiday movies last night on Peacock
and Diehard was in.
Speaker 19 (12:20):
There, so I suppose we can put that debate to.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Bed, right. Oh yeah, yeah, Diehard is Christmas movie. Yeah,
I have no problem with that. I mean it all
takes place at a Christmas party.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yeah, Paul, it's like Christmas adjacent Christmas and the holidays
aren't the focal point of the movie, like, hey, we're
gonna be late for Christmas or there's an incident at
the in loss house, but it's full of holiday songs
the entire time. It revolves around Christmas.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
In the years, I'm okay, Christmas adjacent right, Christmas, Jason, Yeah,
maybe a new category there. I mean, it's not Christmas story, Ralphy.
Speaker 12 (12:54):
That's the focal point.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, because it's all about Christmas. And uh the bb gun,
the red Red Rider. You gotta shoot your eye, my mom,
you say that all the time. I never got one.
Speaker 15 (13:08):
By the way, I got a compass in the stuck.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I remember one of my brothers got a sling shot
and then it was.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
He's going to put somebody's eye out.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Probably mine, since I was the younger brother, I was
gonna still. I don't know how this happened. Sunday morning,
we're going to church and my brother, who had a
BB gun, said stand against the tree. And I stood
against the tree and he shot me in the thigh.
And I was like, how stupid am I? And then
(13:40):
my mom was like, oh, stop crying, I got shot
with a baby gun.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Well, you never should have stood there.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
My almost brother told me to stand there or he's
going to beat me up.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yes, Paul, what year do you think child safety became
a big thing in our country? Which is a weird
question to ask, but nobody wore seat belts in the seventies.
Smoking in vehicles, smoking in airplanes.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Smoking in airplanes is still mind bogged.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Remember it was like Row thirty was no smoking and
thirty one I was smoking, as if that invisible barrier
would protect your lungs.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, because my wife and I sat in the last row,
non smoking, going to London for our honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So the guy behind me is smoking. Heaters good?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I mean, just thinking about ashes and starting a fire
on a plane. I can't get through this flight. I
got a smoke a hater here. Yeah, more I loved.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I went to Red Lobster once with my family when
I was a kid, and they were like smoking, section
of non smoking and smoking.
Speaker 13 (14:42):
This is wild.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I can't believe that was a real thing back then.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Uh yeah, I don't know when that changed. Now there's
certain bars in New York, and I do think if
you say we're a smoking bar, then okay, at least
you're told that it's a smoking bar.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Like I understand it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I grew up with parents who smoked and two brothers
who smoked. But I felt like it was in the
nineties when it all came crashing down where they were
all of a sudden, nobody's allowed to smoke.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
In the late nineties, I worked at a bar and
you could still smoke, but it was very unpopular. I
think it was early two thousands they outlawed smoking in
bars in restaurant, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Because you'd always see people outside the bar. They'd be
out there like nicotining up and then they'd go in
to have their drinks.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yes, ud as.
Speaker 11 (15:30):
Socially acceptable as it was, at least for us growing up.
I still couldn't believe they had them like in the
lobby of diners and in restaurants like a candy machine.
You could put money in and pull the handle in
like a box of cigarettes would come out of the
bottom as if you were getting like a coke.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Hey, but it had the warning on the side, so yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Surgeon General. Yeah, as my dad smoked camel non filter
three packs a day and died at age fifty four
of lung cancer.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Who saw that coming?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh, everybody, take a break. More phone calls coming up.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Fritzie just sent me the timeline of the text that
he sent to Nick. Right, I got four thirty three pm?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Is that right?
Speaker 13 (16:56):
That's the time I sent it.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
I would hope that I wasn't that incentive there three
and a half hours after a kickoff. That had to
be a decent amount of time after the injury to
uh and and I put very nicely to him, you know,
if you're up for it, trying to be sensitive to
his chief fandom.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
But it's not that far after. This was a one
o'clock game.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Yeah, but it wasn't like second while Mahomes is on
the field. I think he was a little dramatic, like
while he's being attended to, like, hey, howby can you
come on tomorrow?
Speaker 13 (17:22):
It's been three months?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Was the game still going on?
Speaker 11 (17:24):
I don't know if it got to the final buzzer yet,
but it was. It wasn't like right immediately.
Speaker 13 (17:28):
After b went down.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I wouldn't do that, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It sounded like and Nick was saying that maybe you
were not being that sensitive as he loses his quarterback.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
But then you run the risk if I wait till
later in the evening. Then it's then it's like, oh,
I wish you would have told me sooner. I already
got booked up, so I got to, like, you know,
make sure I navigate that.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Okay, Yeah, Paul, and the I team is checking on
the timeline as of course, you know we will. I
have the game just wrapping up the final minute of
the game, so the game.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
Is still active. Some people are asking about the tone
of Fritzy.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Who did he offer any solaced nick his favorite player
and team was out of the playoffs.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
I was gonna put sorry about your Chiefs, but I
don't think he would, knowing that I'm a big Bronco fan,
that would seem totally fake, which I've been called out
Frank Caliendo among others about being a fake kindness or
minimal kindness. So I just got right to the point
and said, if you're up for I thought that was
more than enough sensitivity, as opposed to saying, hey, how
about ten twenty tomorrow, congratuations to your Chiefs being out
of the place for the first time in a decade.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, Frank Callendo weirdly called you out not having any
sensitivity when you send text message that everybody gets my.
Speaker 13 (18:30):
Tone or if that's as you bern, you've been there.
I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Sam in La, Hi, Sam, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (18:37):
Hey?
Speaker 21 (18:38):
Thanks for taking my call. Dan, good morning and morning
and lieu of the Heisman Trophy winner. I did a
little research. I don't know if this is a stat
of the day, but it's primarily a quarterback award, the
Heisman Trophy not all the time. But I looked at
the exclusive smaller list of athletes who had the Heisman
(18:58):
Trophy the gold jacket from the Hall of Fame. Of
those numbers, what do you think what position?
Speaker 19 (19:06):
Dan?
Speaker 21 (19:06):
And Dan it's without looking at that, do you think
has the majority of Heisman Trophies and gold jackets?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
What position? Running back?
Speaker 21 (19:15):
You got it seventy percent. I mean there's only ten,
so seven of the ten, one quarterback, one defensive player,
and one wide receiver have a Heisman Trophy and a
gold jacket.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, thank you, Sam, stead of the day, Boss, stead
of the day.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Stat of the day. Here comes that.
Speaker 13 (19:36):
What stat of the day.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
to the Dan Patrick Show. We did best and worst
of the weekend. Apparently I blew by Marvin had a
worst of the weekend and I didn't get his worst
of the weekend.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
It's all right, and it's somewhat.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Series two actor and director Rob Reiner found dead yesterday,
him and his wife.
Speaker 13 (19:58):
Him and his wife in their La hall.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
He directed some of my favorite movies, stand By Me,
The Princess Bride, Man.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
This is spinal temp. Did he do that too? Did? Yeah?
And they have his son in custody.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Thirty three year old son who reportedly killed his mom
and dad.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, bo Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Rob Reiner's run is fascinating, spinal Tap, the Sure Thing,
stand by Me, Princess Bride, when Harry met Sally Misery,
a few good men, the American President. I mean that's
in a twelve year span.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
Yeah, Ton and before all that, All in the Family,
which was a major hit. Playing Michael Stivick, that was
that was pretty huge, before you even got to producing
and directing.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, Kevin in Michigan, Hike, Kevin, what's on your mind?
Speaker 22 (20:45):
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Best and worse, Kevin.
Speaker 22 (20:51):
So that's the worst. The best is probably not for
me but for my wife. After watching the Lions and
the debacle of that game. I told her I'm done
with NFL for the rest of the year, so she's
pretty excited about that. The worst is probably going to
be that horrendus called that Mike Perreira couldn't even answer.
(21:13):
So my question for you is when are these reps
going to start being held accountable for some of these
horrendous calls that are actually singing the outcome of games?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Okay, but what are you suggesting that they do. They're
graded after every game. Are you going to suspend them.
Speaker 22 (21:34):
They're not being held accountable though. It's just a slap
on the wrist and they move on to the next game.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, that might prevent them from doing playoff games, which
is extra money. But they're graded after every performance. Oh,
I don't know what you want them to do. Full
time referees. Everybody keeps talking about that. I don't know
what that means. When you're a full time referee as a
opposed to this, are you practicing more?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I don't. Are you going to a flag football game?
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Like?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Do you drive around neighborhoods and you go, oh, in
backyard game?
Speaker 11 (22:09):
There?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Let me go there?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Uh at that's motion illega motion, hands to the vase.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
Yes, Pauline, Yeah, there's really nothing you could do.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
They've got the sky judge, they've got replay, they've got
more officials on the field than they've ever had.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
I don't know what the fix would be.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
No, yeah, don't do that word fixed.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Scott and Scottsdale. That's Scott and Scottsdale.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Hey, Dan, you still my thunder Earlier with respect to
the Cardinals, it's a long time, long suffering Raider fan.
After having moved from California, I adopted the Cardinals slaps
and plates on both my truck and my wife's car,
only to now drive out of my parking lot every
morning and see my neighbor or go to the gym
(22:54):
or the market and just get chastised by the locals.
They're even smarting. I'm not to have done as much.
I should have thought that through a little bit more, obviously,
But I still have time. As a matter of fact,
I have today off, so I'll be going down there
and probably changing those.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
Out as quickly as possible.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
But it's ridiculous that Murray situation has to go down
as one of the worst. You get the kid out
of the UCLA a few years prior to him. I
don't know who's making decisions over there, but there as
mine are.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Thank you, Scott, good luck. We talked about this last year.
I focused this year on the Broncos and also the Commanders.
When you win one score games, when you win in
the final couple of minutes, now, it says a lot
about your coach, says a lot about your quarterback. But
it's really hard to live with that razor thin margin
(23:46):
of victory. The Chiefs will miss the playoffs for the
first time since twenty fourteen.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Last year, the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Were twelve and zero in one score games, including the playoffs.
In fact, you go back to twenty twenty, they won
seventeen consecutive games by eight points or less. This year,
they played eight one score games. They won one.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Startup the day, start of the day, start of the day,
start of the day, statu.
Speaker 17 (24:18):
The day STATU day startup.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
To day start You take Mahomes for granted, he'll somehow
figure it out.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (24:27):
Yeah, that's those numbers that you just listed off is
exactly how I got to them not making the playoffs
this year, because last year they barely squeaked by all
these teams and then in the offseas and did absolutely
nothing to upgrade the team. It's just like, well, chances
are they're not going to start blowing people out with
the same group so and chances are they're probably not
gonna be able to squeak by all those teams again
(24:48):
a second season three.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And that was my logic with the Commanders. They won
a lot of these games in the last couple of minutes,
and I didn't have them making the playoffs. Now, Jade
and Daniels got injured obviously that impacted their season. Steven Syracuse, Hi, Steve,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 16 (25:05):
Then?
Speaker 10 (25:06):
First time, long time I got this image as I
saw mister Mahomes being escorted off the field as he's
walking down the tunnel. I thought it would have been
cool if a kid with a coke would have given
him a drink and Patrick handed him his jersey.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Well, one is make believe and one is real.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
The move may not been right.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, they paid me and Joe Green to limp off
the field and throw the kid.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Is that actually did happen?
Speaker 18 (25:37):
Just Patrick doesn't like cameras around because he's that selfless
of a person, So it did actually happen.
Speaker 15 (25:41):
We just he said no, no, no, no, no cameras, don't
release them.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
It was Nick Wright who was there ready to give
him a Coca cola. Jeff and Baltimore. Hi, Jeff, Hey,
thanks for sat Nicole.
Speaker 19 (25:53):
Yep, that's and worst Army Navy best obviously for obvious reasons.
But I have a worse from this from that game
as well. I have a friend of mine who lives
in Baltimore. Her son flies one of the Chinooks that
actually did the flyover of the game on Saturday, and
she sent me the actual test runs because the young
(26:14):
man sends the video of the test run that they're
going to do and how excited they are for as
a family. So I tune in Saturday, and if I'm
not mistaken, the worst thing is I think CBS blew
it and during the national anthem and even after I
think they cut and went to commercial, never saw the flyover.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, i'd have to get some of my best people
on that, but I'm going to trust your observation there, Jeff.
I don't remember the flyover. I remember President Trump was
trying to flip the coin, but other than that, I
don't remember too much. Of the beginning of that Jake
in Texas. Hi, Jake, what's on your mind?
Speaker 23 (26:54):
Yeah, good morning, Dan, first off five to eleven, two
forty seven at eleven percent fat, I know, a lot
of years just per Yeah, so best and worst?
Speaker 16 (27:05):
Best?
Speaker 23 (27:06):
How about those fighting Texas Aggie volleyball team taking on
the number one Nebraska corn Husters down.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah it was great.
Speaker 23 (27:12):
Yeah, not a huge volleyball fan, but I'll tune in.
I'll tune in. And worst man didn't really hit me
till Saturday or Sunday. This battered Aggie syndrome leading up
to the game, stress death.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Calm forward.
Speaker 23 (27:27):
Around here, we're just cranking it up by the minute.
So hopefully those Aggies can pull out a win. If not,
it's been a good season. We'll take it. You know this,
this doesn't happen much around here. So hope you all
have a good one.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, good luck, good luck? Interesting, best and worst
of the weekend, Yeah, Martin.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You'll take it. You know much money they spend. Yeah,
they're not okay with just a playoff appearance. M M,
what do you mean they'll take it?
Speaker 12 (27:52):
They're hosting Miami.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, you don't just make the playoffs you got to
win a couple of games in there, Brooks and Florida. Hey, Brooks,
best be worst of the weekend.
Speaker 24 (28:03):
Yeah, Dan, I got a best and a bestist for you.
Best is a d Day Lagway apparently entering the transfer portal.
I think it'll be good for him and for the programs.
And bestis is going to be the Panthers losing to
the Saints, and my bucks can take all the help
that we can get. So I was happy to see
that one go down.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, And I warned you, you know you're gonna you're
now going to count on Carolina winning a game. If
you're a Panther fan, you're hoping not expecting them. And
that's when I said, the team that is considered the
inferior team you see wins these games. It's crazy in
the NFC sound And that happened, Carolina losing and now
(28:44):
it comes down to basically Carolina versus h Baker Mayfield Junior.
The third in Tampa and two of the last three games.
Take a break, last call for phone calls. What we learn,
what's in store tomorrow after this. Fox Sports Radio has

We should probably publicize Todd's text in despair whenever somebody's
having a bad day or the team's just lost or
something happened, and then Todd sends a text there the
text in despair.
Speaker 13 (29:24):
Because I'm so sensitive.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, you do lack sensitivity. Sometimes sometimes you're overly sensitive.
Speaker 13 (29:30):
I did that to Ray a while back.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
His line has lost a really bad game, like a
deep into the players that getting ready for the super
Bowl almost and I'm like, how are we doing on
that one sheet for their questions for tomorrow?
Speaker 18 (29:39):
Happen to have that text right here, dad. As a
matter of fact, Ray sent it to me in the back.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Oh he did.
Speaker 18 (29:43):
There's like, this is a good time to remind everyone
on to today. Tough game, today, great season, the Lewis
Ridick of ten twenty cool for the one sheet.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Essentially how horrible so big day.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Ray is producer of the Gambling Show and he does
our above the noise. He does a lot of great
things around here, and he comes up with a one
sheet that's all the information and uh suggested questions we're
going to ask a guest. So the Lions just lost.
Was that to the Niners in the NFC title game?
Speaker 13 (30:11):
I think it wasn't Week six, I guess Arizona.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It was a painful loss. It was NFC title game.
And you sent him a note just after the gang.
Speaker 13 (30:21):
That was a bleep move by me.
Speaker 11 (30:22):
Looking back on that, I don't know what I was thinking,
because if there was the other way around, I would
be beyond furious if the Broncos looked like a divisional
playoff for an NFC.
Speaker 15 (30:29):
Title nine, three pm Eastern.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
And then Frank Kellendo, who's one of the nicest people
you ever meet. We're out in Vegas and he's saying
that you lack sensitivity when your text people.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
I think he reads through my over nicest end.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
He's decided that there's something phony there, that like, that's
just a little too nice. And sometimes I put it,
you know, I've put it up a little too much
where it looks like it's just.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
Phony or No.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
He was saying that Frank Kellendo went out to dinner
with like, I don't know, famous people, then rattle off
like three or four really really famous people and then
you wanted to have him on, and he's telling you, Hey, you.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Know, just had this great dinner.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
I thought, oh, yeah, that's a that's another thing, that's right.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
I said something like, wow, that sounds like a fun
thing to be a part of. Or sometimes I thought
I was saying something nice. Took it as sarcastic or
I don't know what he took it out.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I don't think you really embraced it.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Instead of saying, boy, i'd love to hear more about
that story, you were like, oh, yeah, it sounds like, hey,
can you join us at nine twenty tomorrow?
Speaker 13 (31:28):
And it sounded like my big part of my response.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
It sounded like to him like nice to name drop
anywhere are you're coming by tomorrow?
Speaker 13 (31:33):
And what I need to know if you're in?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
That is true? Frank could have been name dropping there.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
It totally was.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yes, Todd's career of automated niceness seems to be gone
because with Nick Wright, he didn't even say, hey, sorry
about Mahomes tough break, could you join us tomorrow to
wrap up the season with the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, But he said he didn't want to do that
because then it might come off as and being.
Speaker 11 (31:54):
A big Bronco fan, and I thought it was enough
just to say, if you're up for it, which hinted
at the fact that I'm sure you're not in a
very good mood with what happened to the Chiefs in
your quarterback. So that's why I started with if you're
up for it, if you want to join her, not
being with her for three months.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Historically, you probably would have said, hey, really, sorry for
your loss, can you join us tomorrow at ten twelve?
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Oh well, I guess the brothers have to worry about
the cheats or the player.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Hey, mahomes can't join us, can you?
Speaker 11 (32:20):
There's many ways to go with that would have been
very unincensive.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
My wife and were asked to play pickleball with another couple,
and I know that I can't. I'm too competitive, it's
not good. I'm you know, my body's too banged up.
And so my wife says, well why not? I said, hun,
they play in a league. No, we're not going down
this road. We've done this before. What happened the one
(32:49):
time we played pickleball? The two other people stormed off
the court, didn't even shake our hands. Then she goes, well,
you wouldn't do that I go. If pushed to the brink,
I will hunt. It's about winning. Winning is the only thing.
And then she goes, are you being serious?
Speaker 13 (33:07):
Serious?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I go, yes, like.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I was trying to get out of it. I got
out of this. I said, just say, I can't do it.
You know, you know I got a replacement me and
my body's a mess.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I mean it's a wonderland, but it's a mess.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Would you rather play an hour pickleball and then go
home or a two hour dinner with lots of conversations.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I'd rather do two hours at dinner. I can't do
the pickleball. And they're in a league. They probably have
color coordinated outfits, and they know all the terminology. And
I just I said, hon, if you want to keep
them as friends, then we shouldn't play pickleball.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yes, Mart, I'm surprised that your wife asked you about
your seriousness when it comes to being competitive. Like you
guys been married for a long time, like our wives
know us, like doesn't like soon knows you.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yes, she knows that this isn't good. I tell her
it's not good. I don't play board games. I don't
want to play board even with my kids. I was
competitive in board games. It's just not good. I don't
want to do it. And instead of playing and then
all of a sudden, you know, upsetting somebody because of
my competitiveness, and I just said, no, we're not going
(34:17):
to do that. Just send him a fruit basket or something.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Also, to your point, beating your kids in board games
it's character building.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yes, I agree. Yeah. I mean I went after my son.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I remember, with shoots and ladders, and he was young,
and I wanted I won, and I let him know that.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
It all shoots for him, yeah, just.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Ladders for me.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
Yes.
Speaker 18 (34:44):
I always let my son do well up until a point, right.
I'd let it be competitive, you know, be like, yeah, man,
you're doing really well. Until he got out of line.
He might say one comment. He might make one comment
and be like, all right, give me the ball. Check
it out. No matter what it was, it doesn't matter
what worry. If it was soccer, if it's bad, okay,
cool the ball, check it out. What's the score.
Speaker 15 (35:01):
Boom.
Speaker 18 (35:01):
I'd just rattle off, didn't matter how many points I needed.
I'd be like one, two, three, And then he would
get mad. He would get the hint.
Speaker 15 (35:08):
And then say, okay, see, now we could go back
to play and where it's more fun.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
And I'm reminded every year at this time of the
year because I did say to all four of my children,
who were probably somewhere between four and eleven years of age,
that if they didn't beat me in a race, then
they got no gifts for Christmas.
Speaker 13 (35:28):
That's so mean.
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Fantini two.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, and they didn't beat me, and they came in
and oh they they're like throwing their bodies on the floor,
they're crying.
Speaker 18 (35:39):
Is this right around the time that you were canceling
your birthday parties for three year olds or a different era.
Speaker 13 (35:44):
It's like child cool.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Well, no, Mollie got her three, four, five, You canceled
all of those birthdays.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Was this around the same Christmas window? Or yeah, okay,
got it?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Noted she was she was born in June, so this
is six months in between.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Every six months. Yeah, I do well, very good.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
She deserved those four consecutive birthdays canceled. And that's hard
to do where you say to a four, five, six,
and seven year old. By her seventh year, she said,
I'm not getting a birthday party, and my wife and
I go no, you're not.
Speaker 12 (36:21):
She was the Buffalo Bills a birthday.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
She did have a great run, she did.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
She she's the Buffalo Bills for birthday four consecutive four
years old, four years but a dangerous four years old.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Stand by it.
Speaker 18 (36:38):
Yes, at this point I feel like you got to
you can't wait for and start backing out now, I
shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
We do not say that.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
By the time we got to the fourth one, she
had locked herself in the bathroom and we blew out
the candles without her.
Speaker 13 (36:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
My wife would walk.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
By and go, all right, you just hear yep, we
go happy birthday.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Because there's a difference between canceling a party and having
a party amongst someone where they can't even participate.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, it got kind of canceled, and we still had
that one that when she got to at least the playing.
Speaker 18 (37:16):
Field, she was there for the national land. The other
one she wasn't there for the flyover. She was not,
which is somehow you found a way to make it worse. Yeah,
we did. We had the birthday.
Speaker 15 (37:25):
Party without you, even though you were here.
Speaker 18 (37:27):
What we weren't planning on is even worse than were
canceling a four year old's birthday.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
We weren't planning on canceling.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
Who would I mean, who would plan on canceling it?
Were you at the point where after three.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
We didn't know if it was hanging in the balance,
I will say that, but it could have been. There
could have been a subcurrent there that my daughter knew
that this was on thin eye.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
She has time.
Speaker 13 (37:48):
Did you knock on the bathroom to make a wish
in there?
Speaker 11 (37:50):
You got a couple of seconds, get it out, Just
get a wish and that's all you're gonna get today.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
No, didn't do that. My wife's tougher than me. She's
the one that you know, it's like, no, no birthday.
And I'd be like, damn, yes, shit, throw an egg
at your son, three of them, three eggs, three eggs
off his forehead.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
But he had it coming. That's what you get, Yes,
got it, come on, tough, on up a little bit eggs. Well, no, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
In the context of it was breakfast, and you know,
I have three other kids, and my son was sitting
there going he wanted a certain kind of egg. I
want this, and my wife said, you know, wait, I
want wait, wait, and he said it again, and she
took an egg boom off the forehead, and egg off
the forehead and egg off the forehead. Wow, my son
(38:44):
has grown up to be Okay, he's okay.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
He's done.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Okay, he's not he's not scarred by eggs. You know,
we go into a you know, a diner. Uh, you
sees his eggs and starts trembling.
Speaker 12 (38:56):
He got a farm and he just starts.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Shaking poach poached eggs. Yes, it's got.
Speaker 13 (39:00):
Accept your low cholesterolf of fring of eggs. What happened?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
But you know what, he had it coming. He had
it coming. Jake and Cincinnati coome Morning Jake. What's on
your mind?
Speaker 17 (39:12):
Dan? First time caller, longtime listener six one two fifteen
for the weekend My thirtieth birthday falling on Friday and
getting snowed in at the local watering hole with all
the fellows. Worst is being a Bangle Sea ticket holder. Hey,
my bobbies and I were at dinner on Friday night.
We all agreed that you would be in our top

three people to get a beer with. My question is

No particular order.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Would be just you guys, Jake, you guys would be
my top three awesome. Well, thank you, Jake, Ryan in Montana.
I don't want to have a beer with anybody. Best
beer I have is by myself. Although I did have

sat down with us, and uh, finally Levitard left.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
Everyone hear this, He'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
What was love like?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, he didn't ask me. Did I grow up with
love in the house or something like that? Todd, would
you learn today?
Speaker 11 (40:31):
The chief situation right now feels rebuildish, not reloaded. And
you believe Travis Kelsey is done Satan.
Speaker 15 (40:37):
Todd got Nick right with his minimum kindness as.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Well as he did Marvin Levatar with a third wheel.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
And he didn't even bring his wife, which that would
at least helped out matters.
Speaker 12 (40:47):
Paul Nick Wright's going to be okay.
