Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour on this Thursday. Joey Vado of
the Reds will stop by always entertaining basketball. Coming up
tonight Game five Mavericks and the Warriors. I mentioned the
point total for Luca tonight, the over unders thirty four
and a half. I said last game he would get

(00:24):
thirty two. If they'd have balance scoring, they'd win. He
ended up with thirty balance scoring and they won. I'm
gonna go Luca over and they lose. I'm gonna go
Luca thirty seven. By the way, Steph Curry. According to DraftKings,

(00:44):
you guys want to guests over under point total Todd
I'll start with you twenty seven and a half, Seaton
thirty five, Marv twenty five, Paull twenty four and a half,
Todd Fritz twenty seven and a half. Ding Ding Ding
Ding Ding Blue Bloo Bloo Bloop Warriors are favored by

(01:08):
seven against the Maps. Miami shot thirty two percent from
the floor, this after shooting thirty three percent from the
floor in Game four, the first team since twenty thirteen
to shoot thirty five percent or worse in consecutive playoff games.
Whoa stat of the day that best out of the day,

(01:29):
sat the day? Here comes that? What stat of the day?
Stat of the day Brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Penny's
Bang Biscuits available two different sizes. Go to the website
Bite sized treats for the perfect rewards during training sessions

(01:49):
or anytime you want to thank your dog for good behavior.
Had a problem with my dog this morning. She chewed
up my credit card. You know when you say, oh,
somebody did some damage to that credit card. And I
went so, I see her chewing on the credit card
in the kitchen. I said to my wife. I said, uh,

(02:11):
what she chewing on there? She goes, Oh, I don't know.
Is it a dog treat? I said, No, that's my
Discover credit card that she is chewing on. Yeah. See,
how did the dog get into your wallet? I'm not sure.
Did you go into your pants pocket from yesterday and
she pawed it out? Yeah, she's very talented, very talented.

(02:35):
I did. I did ask my wife that. I said, uh,
because she had the credit card. First mistake, Yeah, And
I thought the mistake was that I gave my wife
my credit card. That wasn't the mistake. It was I
gave it to her because she left it out. And
the dog, first of all, very opportunistic puppy that if

(02:56):
you put something on the counter, she feels like that
that's hers as well. And uh, she chewed up my
credit card. Not exactly what you'd call a rule follower. No, no, oh,
she just loves me so much. Yes, ton, So now

(03:16):
you discovered not to leave it bloop bloop. I can
give you credit for that one for a charge obviously,
no interest. Okay, that's fun, alright, alright, we're good. Mars Emmys. Yeah,

(03:39):
next year's Emmy. It's on the reel. I like how
people are going to start suggesting segments for us to
put on our Sports Emmy reel for next you're very
invested in Yes, they don't know if you're truly aware,
but people are invested in it. I love that that
they were invested in us winning a Sports Emmy. I
really did. They may have lost their investment if they

(03:59):
would have invested. Yeah. Well, you know, we're a stock
that you you buy low. You can always get us low,
but you gotta stay in for the long haul. You
do that's where it pays off. Yeah, it's been a
long haul. It's fifteen years. Yeah, yeah, so at some
point you got to dump the stock. What was Wall Street?

(04:19):
What was that Eastern airline called our paper? Whatever? When
it gets the seven, it's wreck the last one. I'm
in the company the movie Wall Street. I didn't realize
that Adam Sandler was in Wall Street. Oh, you're not
supposed to do it. When it gets to nineteen and
a half, we get rid of everything. We'll get some
phone calls here we mentioned at the end of Last

(04:40):
Down or Colin Kaprinick worked out for the Raiders. I
still don't understand why the Seattle Seahawks don't bring in
Colin Kaepernick, because your quarterback position is not settled. Far
from settled now. I don't know if they bring in
Baker Mayfield, if the Browns decide to pick up the
tab for some of that salary, if not all of it.
I don't know. Jimmy Garoppolo, if the Niners would trade

(05:02):
him in the division? Boy, what would that say about Garoppolo?
We have no problem seeing you a couple of times
this year, Yes, Marv, How much more interesting would be?
Would Monday Night Football be Broncos at Seahawks. If Baker
Mayfield and Colin Kaepernick were both on Seahawks, that would
be more interesting than watching you know, Jimmy Lipper, Well

(05:23):
that's Drew Locke, Drew Luck is Jimmy Lipper, Tomato, tomato,
and then it's Chino Smith. In case you're wondering, you're
given more tomato or tomato or yeah, now it wouldn't
be spicy if you had Baker Mayfield or and or
Colin Kaepernick there, yea, what do you think the Seahawks
are doing? This is kind of confusing. There's quarterbacks that
can be had. Are they trying to hold out till

(05:44):
one of them drops to them? Just fall to them? Well,
this goes back to Russell Wilson where I wondered the
Powers struggle and I said that Pete Carroll and Russell
Wilson can't co exist. It's not going to happen. Pete
Carroll said, where no intention of trading him? And I went,
oh you do, You're quietly shopping him. My source said

(06:04):
that and we found out that that was true. They
wanted to know how many first round picks they could get.
Were they going to take players in return. So there
was a lot of things that were going on behind
the scenes, and Russ wanted to move on without saying it.
You know, it's sort of like Matthew Stafford with the lines.

(06:25):
You don't want to say, hey, I want out of here.
You want there to be that, Hey, we think it's best.
We both think this is best if he moves on,
and then we move on that way, you know, there's
no vitriol. It's like, Okay, he gave us everything he
could give us, and it's best for the organization. Well,
at least with Detroit, you got some draft picks. Now

(06:45):
he might not be sold on Jared Goff, but you
got some draft picks. And Matthew Stafford won a Super
Bowl with Seattle. I just don't know what their game
plan is, Like, what's their identity. You're seven and ten
and you lose Russell Wilson. I don't know if they're
tanking or not. But you've got Tyler Lockett, dk Metcalf.

(07:10):
You have a couple of players, but I don't know
who's going to throw it to him. And if you
said you could get Baker Mayfield, all right, similar qualities.
I guess um talents that with Russell Wilson, similar size,
Russ obviously a better quarterback, but he's an upgrade over
Drew Locke and Gino Smith. Do you bring in Kaepernick?

(07:33):
I'd bring in Kaepernick and say, all right, you three
guys go out there and let's see who the better
quarterback is. What do you have to lose? Yes, Todd
maybe Carol thinks with Locke Smith they have the keys
to the NFC. Okay, I don't know if I'd go
that far. I'm gonna give you a what Locke Smith,

(07:56):
Come on, you gotta get better than that. That's not
worth two bloops. Really, I'm disappointed. Locked you know Smith?
Lock No, I got it, I got it. They have
the keys to the NFC West with Locksmith. Thank you?
What are you doing? Chris Meyers? How are you? I
don't lump him in? I feel bad for Chris Myers.

(08:18):
That was funny. That was funny. I mean, I I
don't search out compliments. It's nice when you get them.
But when Chris Myers called in, what was that? It
had to be a decade ago. We've only been on
the air, our version here for about a year or so.
Out in Los Angeles. That was here. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we were. We were about oh eight and we were

(08:39):
on in the KLA see of course since day one,
and Chris Myers called him. We have him. He was
previewing some playoff game and he said he was, I
caught the show the other day. It's surprisingly good. I think,
he said, surprisingly he was. He said, surprisingly good. You
just said good, Yeah, surprising. I was surprisingly good. That
just happened to catch the show. Yeah, thank thank you, Chris,

(09:03):
thank you. I saw your NASCAR coverage. It was surprisingly good. No, no,
I'm saying if I turned it around, how would it
didn't sound how would Yeah, it doesn't sound that goods
that show there, couldn't believe you pulled it off. It's
not what do you guys? You guys got it. You
guys were solid and improving. That's like year eight, I know,

(09:25):
solid improve it? Uh Bob and Montana, Hi Bob? What's
on your mind? Today? A six five and the same
birthday as a much underrated Jim Morris and hey, and
in honor of today's Ostensies day being John Wayne's birthday,

(09:45):
it's one hundred and fifteenth birthday, and of your support
their DP for the great John Facinda. I'm curious who
is on your mount Rushmore of the greatest, most recognizable
voices of all time. Did you work in the business.
Uh No, I didn't, but I tended to win a

(10:05):
lot of local radio things, just like calling in I
want to toot the Hong Kong like twenty years ago.
But I've never actually been in the business before. I
just win a lot of stuff on the radio. There's
a there's an al Michael's feel to that voice, a
little deeper al Michaels. But thank you, Bob my mount
Rushmore of voices. Hmm, well that that encapsulates a lot

(10:31):
of voices here, Like let's say I put dem Moore's
voice in there. Oh nice. I mean it's a it's
a good voice. Um yeah, Paul, I'll throw one out
that I didn't grow up around. But the baseball announce
are mostly baseball. I did last wort Harry callis Boy.
I enjoyed like when I'd hear Harry, but I remember

(10:51):
it's unique. It maybe non traditional his voice, but I
remember hearing his voice like that. That's fun. It sounds
like a good baseball voice. I remember growing up in
Ohio and people from the East Coast when I got
to college, they go, you got to hear Marv Albert,
and Marv Albert to me was like Bob Dylan from
the standpoint if you listen to the voice and you go, Hannah,

(11:12):
that's successful, and then you realize, yes, extremely successful. But
Marv didn't sound like the voices I grew up with.
But he was. You heard Marv do hockey back in
the seventies or the Nicks in the seventies, and I'd
put that up against anybody. His ability to be able
to capture a game, a moment, that excitement there, But

(11:36):
it was not what I grew up. You know. Marty
Brenneman was the big voice for the Reds. Al Michaels
did this Cincinnati Reds for a year or two. But
Pat's Sumroll had a great voice. Ben Scully had a
you know, this melodic voice. There's too many. I couldn't

(11:57):
do amount Rushmore. I don't. I don't think i'd be
able to do it. But I think there's so many
voices and they're unique. Boy Keith Jackson when he heard
the voice, that's college football, I mean right away you
just went, oh, Keith Jackson. Yeah. See, yeah, I always
go back to uh sort of like the voice of

(12:18):
baseball for me, the way baseball was supposed to sound
was Phil Rizzuto. But that's just because of where I
grew up, in the time that I grew up in,
and that, holy cow, he was just such a great personality.
He didn't necessarily have a great voice, but he had
a very distinct voice that you knew immediately. And then
you'd go to the West Coast and people say, you
got to listen to Chick Heerne, listen to Chick hern

(12:39):
do a basketball game, and then you look, it was
completely different than what I had heard before. Johnny Most
who did the Celtics did hockey as well. Completely different.
But that's that's what's great about what we do. The
unique voices. You know, Dick my Towel, if you would

(13:01):
have said, hey, he's going to have a career of
fifty years, you'd go now with that voice. But it
was him. It's unique. Chris Berman wonderful distinctive voice. Jack
Buck wonderful distinctive voice. And that's sometimes good it is.
It's when you hear that voice, you think, what, Yeah,
when when I was little, I got one of those

(13:22):
NFL Films tapes and I heard Myron Cope the voice
of the Steelers, and that's a very original voice. I mean,
you don't confuse him an else, but that must have
been a blast to listen to him. He had such energy,
he was funny and he's cranky. That's one of my favorites.
And John Facenda was spectacular because John Facenda wasn't a sportscaster.
He was a newscaster and he had that ability. He

(13:42):
almost sounded like the guy who says, you know, the
movie trailer in a world. I mean that he's the
first guy that sounded like that. When you hear those,
you go to the movie theater and you'll be like,
they're gonna show the new top gun movie in a world.
It's always in a world. But there's so many voices

(14:04):
that I've come to respect because people want to want
to know how do you get that voice? So I
get that ask a lot, like how did you develop
your voice? I didn't. I'm very fortunate that I just
grew into this voice. Don't you think you soaked it in?
Because you listen maybe even that was the bourbon I
said yes, but subliminally don't you think you listen to

(14:26):
these guys when you listen to fmdjs and other things
growing up and what you like, and you maybe subconsciously
just kind of like rose it up or knew how
to control it, or maybe we're conscious of that. Your
voice is your your your instrument, my tool, Yeah, my instrument. Um,
I think so right. I think you have a naturally
good voice, but I think you maybe subconscious well no,

(14:47):
nashally great, thank you, But you naturally found people you
liked to have had that, and you maybe subconsciously imitated them.
But I don't. I don't know who I'm imitating. Nighttime fmdjs, Yeah, yes,
don is it hard to shut it off ever, off
the air? Not necessarily now, but in your early days
when you started doing it, Like you give the dessert
order for the wakers and you say back after this, no,

(15:09):
I don't. I don't do that. It's a hard break.
I need a cappuccino and she's gonna have the gelatto
back after this? When I go through Starbucks. You know,
I don't lower my voice. You know, I'll take a
Venti y t soy milk. I'll give it to you
for free. Yes, I love back of the day. Vanerol

(15:31):
right with you over at the CNN right. I always
wonder if when Vanerol left the building was he Vanerol.
He was not Vanerle Okay, he played it up on
the Errol Earl was great when he got on the air,
and he was just different. But he had fun with it.
And I remember when he started doing the voice and
I'm like, man, you're gonna you're gonna go all in
on that, and He's like yep, and he did every

(15:54):
time he got on the air. All right, we'll take
a break. Speaking of over the wall in left field,
Joey Vano, Cincinnati Red's first baseman, will join us up.
I guess he got into a little dust up yesterday
with the Cubs a picture. So one of our favorites
more phone calls is well back after this on the

Vado Reds first baseman, six time All Star, won the
MVP back in twenty ten. Giants Reds game this Sunday

(18:03):
on Peacock the game of the week. First pitch scheduled
for eleven thirty five am Eastern. Joey, good morning, Thanks
for joining us. What's your walk up song? Joelene Dolly
Pardon Joeliane by Dolly Dolly Parton? Does she know it?

(18:24):
I don't know, I don't know. Didn't she recently pass
on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I kind
of respect that. I don't know why, but I respect that.
But she did get voted into the Hall of Fame.
How does that work? So you get voted in? But
she didn't. She pass on the ceremony. She didn't want
to be nominated. Oh interesting, and they said no, sorry, Dolly,
you're going to be nominated, and then they put her in.

(18:47):
It was Joe Lene Always your walk up song? No,
I've used quite a few. There's something about that. It
just feels sexy, you know it. What's the worst walk
up song? Ever heard. I've ever heard, um, I don't
um wow. I walked out to a jingle from Saturday

(19:09):
Night Live. I was wearing really tight pants during that time,
and a lot of people were giving me a hard time.
And there's a there's a skit where Will Ferrell and
someone else. Uh, it's about I got my tight pants on,
And so I walked out to that and people were laughing.
I did that only a few of bats. I didn't

(19:29):
like being distracted by. But that was one of the
worst ones I've ever heard coming from me, obviously, But
when you choose your uniform, do you want it to
be looser or you want it to be form fitting?
Now now it's about comfort. You know, I dress on
the field exactly valle I dress off the field. You know.
I've got no name brands. Everything's bland. Everything fits comfortably.

(19:53):
My shoes are comfortable. I want socks that are easy
to put on in the morning, a sweater. And it's
the same thing with my uniform. I want everything so
comfortable that I don't even notice it. I used to
want to be cool, and now I'm just about how
do I do my job? Well? What you sound like?
You're sixty eight, not thirty eight. I do I feel

(20:16):
that way. I very much feel that way. Style has
been is a is a pass version of me. I
no longer get into that sort of stuff, all right,
explain this to me then, bottom of the eighth inning,
and you know that well, you know that very well? Yes, yes, yes,
that's how I dress. How you dress this exactly how
I dressed him. Bottom of the eighth year. Up to

(20:37):
the plate, Chicago reliever Rowan Wick threw a pitch pretty
close to your head. You had already hit a home
run in a triple So what what happened? Ohkay? All right?
Um so my interpretation of what happened? So and I'm

(20:58):
I'm sure he has his own. Um. I when I'm hitting,
I don't. It doesn't matter if you throw the ball
at me, because hitting comes with being thrown at. So
because the pitch was close, the pitch was close to me,
I just don't register it like I view it as

(21:19):
ball one? And how how do I get into the
box prepared for the next next swing, prepared for the
next quality pitch to hit? And he walks in it
on four pitches. Sometimes pitchers just can't find a feel. Um.
I never ever during that a bat felt like I
was being uh thrown at, or that there was any

(21:40):
sort of aggressiveness. I just thought, oh, just not as
tight during that at bat, I'm gonna go to first.
And as I ran down at first, I you know,
there's a there's a rhythm to hitting and pitching. Um,
the generation I came up, and even you know today,
but the generation I came up sixteen years ago. Now, um,

(22:04):
you don't talk to one another or else you run
the risk of being thrown at. You run the risk
of getting into a dust up. Possibly bench is clear.
You don't want to make enemies. You just want to
do your job. And now this generation is kind of
the same. There's a little bit more showmanship. But as
I was running down first, I felt the rhythm of
the picture batter exchanged. I felt like it was thrown

(22:28):
out because he said something to me. And oftentimes picture
batter pictures and batters don't say anything to one another.
So I reacted. I said something back to him. Well,
he called you an m effort, right, Oh you I
can read lifts. I can read lips thread lifts. Um,

(22:50):
you know it's not it's not a common experience and
so I reply with an uncommon an uncommon you know,
I don't usually saying I want tone. The bat is
so hard that that just getting to first basis success.
You want to bask in that. But I just have
to do with a bat flip at a previous said

(23:11):
bat a bat flip? Yeah did you did you have
a gesture? You know? Okay, he's I think he's dominated
me to be honest with you our entire and he's
so big that if I you know, the exchange I
actually was. I started kind of talking to him, getting angry,

(23:31):
and I was like, Joey, calm down. He's going to
bear hug you and saying geefe you know, uh, pile
drive you. This guy is going can slap you around
in front of everybody. But he sends two reporters after
the game, Joey, that nice bat flip. You know, I've
got like thirteen hundred career walks. Um, it's perfected by now.

(23:57):
So um you know my my you know, um, my
take is thank you, thank you. Yeah. But you know,
then the back and forth and I felt like I
felt like there was a bit of exchange, but we
move on. This is part of it. This is what
makes it fun. Competition is fun. Which the last time

(24:18):
you went to the mound went to the mound, yeah,
or at least that direction. Never never gone after a picture?
Oh my god, I'm not trying to be embarrassed here?
Are you kidding me? What? Am I? Some got a
tough guy? I'm fine at that. I've had a fighter,

(24:38):
I mean goodness, No, no, never never been to a mound.
I'm a coward, gonna go out there and be embarrassed.
If you were a picture, you could be a picture.
You can't be a picture on your own team, but
you can be any pitcher in baseball. Who would you
want to be for one game? UM? I love Kershaw.

(25:01):
I'm such a you know, one of the classiest, most competitive.
He toes that line of competitiveness, but then he's got
a real grace to him. And um, I'd like to
know what it feels to be the best picture of
this generation in in in in in one of the
most iconic uniforms in one of the biggest cities in

(25:24):
the world. Um, I'd love to know. I'm perfectly happy
being myself, but in this hypothetical alternate universe where I
am some other picture Clayton Kershaw would be my choice.
Would do you care how you look when you strike out?
Do I care how I look when I strike out? Um? No,

(25:48):
I do. Yeah, it's not it's true. Yeah, I do care.
I do care how I look when I strike out?
Because when if you strike out, um, you can you
can roll. If you strike out in such a way
that dak can breed future success, you can roll that.
You can roll that into upcoming of bats, you know,
or or if there's a pitch that's probably outside of

(26:10):
the zone that's called strength three. You can pat yourself
on the back and say, you know, I need to
not swing at that pitch to be successful in the future.
So the answers, yes, I do care. Talking to Joey Vado,
the Reds first baseman, six time All Star MVP back
in twenty ten, what do you got two thousand hits?
Something like that at least that, Yeah, what do you

(26:32):
think you need for the Hall of Fame? Um? You
know I've been asked that question a lot over the
last couple of years. I need I need people like you.
It doesn't matter how many hits I need. People like you.

(26:53):
Do not ask that question in that what do I
need to be a Hall of Famer? I need Dan
Patrick to say future Hall of Famer Joey Votto as
opposed to what do you need? And so do you
think you're a future Hall of Famer? If if you're
asking me how many hits I need? The answers probably no,

(27:13):
if that makes sense. So I don't know, and I
don't have a vote, and I'm really in a place
in my career where i just want to play well.
But if you're asking the question how many hits do
you need? To answer is maybe no? So it's interesting answer. No,
it's not. I mean you listen to uh, you know,

(27:35):
a long time members of the media and their responses.
Does he feel like it? Okay? The answers no. And
if you're asking that question, then I mean we just
talked about Clayton Kershaw. Does he do you ask how
many strikeouts he need? He needs? No, He's a Hall
of Famer. There you go, there you go. So you're
the answers, Yeah, maybe not. You might be the Hall

(27:58):
of very good maybe maybe maybe, But I don't vote,
and I sometimes I try to understand the criteria for
what is a Hall of Famer and how it's changed
in generations. Yeah, well, if I don't feel like one
in line with Clint Kershaw, then maybe I'm not one.

(28:18):
How do you keep the perspective of it's a long
season the way you guys started out, you know, you
have to do your own job. Can you laugh at off? No? No,
it's we started three and twenty two. There's no laughing
about that. Is there crimes? There's some moments. There's some

(28:41):
moments where you're driving to work and you're you're you're
slamming the wheel or you're thinking easier. But um, no,
it wasn't a good start. There's no laughing. Now, that
was funny. So you like you broke the tension there, Yeah,
that was that was funny. Instead of crying, you laugh

(29:04):
you left. Yeah, but do you do you take on
a different role as the veteran, the leader of this
team of letting the younger players know, hey, we got
a long season. In my behavior, Oh, you're not a
talker here and there there's a time for it. But
I do think that um never showing that there's give

(29:28):
like you give in or that um, you're your your
you're happy with you're satisfied, you know, showing that every
single day you're in a foul you know, and it's
a you're in a foul mood or you're dissatisfied with
with how we're playing. Is it's probably the route that

(29:49):
I go. I'm not satisfying unless we're a successful team,
unless we're a playoff and championship caliber team. So I
got the let's see the oldest player before you to
hit a triple and home run in the same game.
You know who that is. No, happened in twenty sixteen, Okay,

(30:11):
and it was David Ortiz. David Ortiz, very good, very good,
full of famer David Ortiz, No doubt the bastroom. How
many triples you need to get into the Hall of Fame? David?
One more? Is there a part of you that says,
I don't need a triple, let's just stay at second? No, No, no,

(30:31):
you can't. Probably can't lead the league in triples if
you stay. Oh, you're planning on leading the league in triples.
The league lead starts with one. Paulie, how many triples
does Joe? Do you know how many triples you have
in sixteen years? I guess probably twenty, maybe fifteen, No, maybe,

(30:52):
twenty twenty five. Okay, it went from sixteen to twenty
to twenty five. Paul range I got twenty two, he's
under twenty two, twenty two. How many did Babe Ruth
have there? Yes, Babe Ruth hall of famer. Okay, who's

(31:13):
a Hall of Famer now right now, right now? Where
you go? Hall of famer? Like Trout claim Kershaw Babe
had one hundred and thirty six triples. Just to let
you know, well they playing Okay, all right, okay, um
so Kershaw Trout like if their career stopped right now,
Albert Pool holes Kershaw Trouts Trout right now, even if

(31:35):
if he was dot tomorrow. Oh my goodness, not even close. Okay, okay,
us best player, we tho both of us might ever see? Um,
would you rather be Trout or show Hey O Tony Trout.
It's not even close now. I love I love show

(31:56):
I love Showhy. But um, I I don't think. I
don't think Trout gets um he makes so much money too,
Oh my god that but Trout doesn't get even the
credit he deserves. Showhys special but Trout. Trout's bad years

(32:21):
are probably better than Showhay's best years if I'm honest
with you, I know the pitching special, but trout is,
I mean, he's a ten win player, and he's an
average that over stretches like nine and ten wins, and
I think shows showhe's MVP year. Last year was like
seven or eight wins something like that. Paulie, what do

(32:41):
you have to make Joey feel better? Dan? Joey Votto
has hit three hundred for his career and he's got
three hundred and thirty three career home runs. Players with
who hit three hundred for the career and hit over
three thirty home runs, there's only twenty all time. Ted Williams, Babe,
Ruth William Hays, Frank Thomas, Miguel Cabrera, Manny Ramire is
on and on. Not all of them in or going

(33:02):
to the well Man He's not going in. Cabrera is
going in like Piazza Pizza is already in. I'm hitting
like I'm hitting like a buck sixty right now. That
three hundreds, that's that three hundred. I may not maintain that,
So they're gonna have to ban that shift soon, real soon.
Maybe well. Mickey Mantle batted what two ninety eight for

(33:24):
his career. He dropped down under three hundred. Yeah, I
had five hundred. He did? He did? That's sorry. Do
you feel better or worse after this interview? UM? I
feel like UM, I feel I don't feel good because
I dressed like you. That's the thing that stands out

(33:44):
to me. You and I have the exact same like
I wore almost the exact same hoodie to work today.
And what makes me feel like? What? What that? You
have to ask me whether or not I'm a Hall
of Famer and I have to answer it. The worst

(34:05):
part about it is Dan. Honestly, the worst part about
it is I get this question asked, are you a
Hall of Famer? And it's at the point now where
people are asking the question like sell me, sell me,
you know what, I don't. I mean, but it's a
compliment to ask you if you think you're a Hall

(34:25):
of Famer. What if they didn't ask you, how would
you feel about that? Um? If they didn't ask me,
nobody's asking Harold Reynolds if he's a Hall of Famer
or nobody, nobody, nobody. If he's got a vote. I

(34:48):
just lost a vote. By the way, Yeah, yeah, you're
you're cooked. That's okay. Yeah, that's not kidding. But shake
it off. Okay, come on, get a base on, come on,
let's go. Come on, here I go, come on, I can't,
I can't. Does that ever help When somebody says, come on, man,
come on, let's go, come on, let him and go.
Come on, you can do it. No, no, no, dun hill,

(35:09):
no no no. Walks as good as a hit, Come on, joy,
let's go on. It's not as good. No, a hit
as a hit. Hit is a hit. Yeah, a walk?
A walk sucks? Walk is it's so passive. It's so passive. Hey,
uh nice walk mother? Whoa No, all of famers don't

(35:36):
do that. Well maybe I'm not. I'm not. You just
cemented your career as not a whole. Thank you all
very good? Yeah uh hap happily very good is better
than good. It is it is. Uh. Thanks for joining us, Joey.
I'm so glad to join you. If you ever need

(35:56):
to have your you know, morale picked up, spirits picked
up up, I'm the guy for you. Okay. By the way,
do you wear extra large or two x ut extra large?
I'm sending you hoodies. Okay, all right, I'm gonna send
you a It's link soul that I wear. I'm sending

(36:18):
you a pile of hoodies that you can wear, and
maybe you're just just wear the hoodies and nothing else
and you think of me. Okay, okay, very good. I'll
um okay, sounds good. I can't wait. Thank you, Joey.

Joey Vodo was really good. That's the guy who's got
a future in this goofy business, that's for sure. He's
batting three hundred exactly right now? Do you just retire?

(37:54):
Just say I'm going to bat three hundred. Mickey Mantell
batted two nine eight. I think ended at two ninety eight.
I don't know if al Ka Line ended up at
two ninety eight or two ninety nine. Like that drive
me crazy. It's like Barry Sanders ended up with ninety
nine career touchdowns. That's where you go. I gotta stick

(38:16):
around for one more. Yeah, point yeah. Vottos at that
he's right at three hundred first career and three hundred
thirty three home runs, which that's an exclusive kind of
club there. Yeah, my thanks to Jeff Van Gundi Joey
Votto tonight MAVs at the Warriors. This day in sports history,
PAULI all my joy, Botto look up? Okay, I already
said that it was on this date, nineteen eighty seven.

(38:38):
I'm in the Boston garden. Larry Bird steals the inbounds
pass and from Isaiah finds Dennis Johnson cutting for the
winning basket. And then that's when we got word what
was being said in the Pistons locker room about Larry
Bird Dennis Rodman. Rodman started it by saying if he
was black, he'd be just another player, and Isaiah then

(39:00):
second that, and then that's when it all kind of
spilled out. You had to have a press conference. Bird
Birds like walking in, going what am I here for?
But they wanted to apologize to Bird. It was wild
nineteen eighty seven. What else do you have? Poems? I got?
Nineteen eighty eight, Evanson Oilers won their fourth Stanley Cup

(39:20):
in five seasons. What a deep lineup they had. Nineteen ninety,
the Philadelphia Phillies retired Mike Schmidt's number twenty. Hopefully everybody
applauded that day, but you know, you're never quite sure.
With the Philly fans growing up a cup fan, he
would I usually go three for four or three home
runs against the Cups. On this state nineteen ninety three,
Carlos Martinez hit a home run off Jose Conseco's head.

(39:45):
You know, normally we say, oh, he hit a home
run off Jose Conseco, and you're like, Conseco was pitching, no, no, no,
who's in right field? It went off his head. Also,
on this date nineteen fifty nine, Harvey Haddocks pitched twelve
perfect innings. He lost in the thirteenth one nothing, an error,
sacrifice and a double by Joe Adcock. Should have pulled

(40:10):
him in the eleventh. That's what I was saying at
the time. Yep, I take that. I was three years
old and I'm saying take him out. Wait what's his
pitch count? Mike in Wisconsin, Hi Michael, thanks for holding.
What do you have for me today? Hey Dan, that's
Mike with a G by the way to silence. But anyway,

(40:34):
I kind of have a stand of the day splash
trivia question. All right, you hit the music there? Do
you want Wait? Do you want music? Mike? Maybe not
because it's more of a trivia clue. Okay, here we
go here we go. So Will. Will Chamberlain is known
for scoring one hundred points in an NBA NBA game,

(40:54):
only player to ever do it. He's also one of
only two to record a double triple double in a game.
Can you come up with you the other one? A
double triple double or at least at least twenty and
three different stack categories? So certainly rebounds, points and block shots?

(41:19):
Is that at, Mike? So there's one other player that's
done that outside of Will, points, rebounds, and block shots.
Give me three stack categories? Give me the answer, Russell
Westbrook Junior the third? Thank you, Mike. It's too late

(41:42):
in the show for me to be thinking, Mike with
a G. Yeah, what did you learn today? Todd? If
Joey Vado could be any picture, he'd want to be Clayton, Kershaw,
Seaton O'Connor. I learned what Joey Vado needs to get
into the Hall of Fame. It's for people like to
stop asking that question. But if we stop asking, then
he's gonna be going. Does anybody think I'm a Hall

(42:03):
of Famer? Here? Marv put Voto interview on our Emmy Reel. Yeah,
that's what is known as a driveway interview. You can't
get out of the driveway because you want to hear
the entire interview. PAULI, would you learn Votto Hall of
Fame interview? Yeah, that's true, Todd. What did I learn today?
Joey Votto playfully says, no one is asking Harold Reynolds
if he's all of no One. I take M Drive
