Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on this Wednesday, we'll talk to the Dodgers

The Last Chance awaits. The NASCAR Cup Series closes out
the regular season on the banks of Daytona, Saturday, seven
Eastern on NBC and Peacock, which is where you can
(00:26):
find this program. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock
eight seven seven three DP show. We'll get to more
phone calls coming up. We'll talk some football with Ross
Tucker as well. See what's the poll question for the
final hour on this Wednesday? Well, let me update you
real quick.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We have an Instagram only poll question happening right now,
all right, which is more on brand Dylan's shoes or
Paul's shirt. Okay, since it's a visual thing, we went
to Instagram for it. Right now, More on brand. Sixty
four percent have Paul shirt.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Okay, yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot of comments
and some compliments on on that shirt. That's very PAULI yes, yes, Pauline,
I think it's good.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
To wear kind of what you like at all times,
as long as you know it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Rude to other people. Okay, going back to you when
you're a kid, Yeah, I mean I don't think that.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Are you okay with Fritzie wearing his Bronco jersey?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, because that's again on brand for him. He's been
doing it for Wire to Wire Marvin.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Actually, I have a I have a fashion question. Is
it okay to lie to people about the hat you're wearing?
With Somebody at a Pittsburgh Pirates hat that I wear
sometimes on the show, and somebody's like, man, that Paul Skins.
I was like, man, if he had a little bit
more help with the with the offense, they'd be really good.
I was talking to him like I was a Pirates fan.
I just want to wear a shirt that says guys,
I don't like the team. I just like the hat.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, it's all about fashion for you. Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I think it's interesting though Paul's statement there where he said,
you know, wear what you like is like the most
most important thing, and yet no one comments on other
people's clothing more than Paul.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
True, I'll make fun of things, but I think you
should play through the criticism.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Correct ool Mark pryor God your pitching coach since twenty
eighteen and back go on the program. Been a while.
How are you.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I'm doing well, that has been a while. Thanks for
having me.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Uh what is your job during a game as pitching coach?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Well, I mean yeah, I mean basically, obviously, I'm watching
the game, and then you know, tracking pitches, talking with
the pitcher in between innings, talking with the catcher in
between innings, seen talking and trying to figure out like.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
What's working, what's not working?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
You know, do we have an idea what they're trying
to do from an offensive approach with our pitcher, and
then maybe you know, starting a game plan. You know,
what's going on? What do we want to do the
next time through? Like who's coming up? How do we
want to attack them?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Do we want to.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
You know, do we kind of want to stay with
the plan before the game? Do we want to you know,
do something different and audible, change some things up and
and so those are kind of a lot of the
in game conversations with your pitcher and with the catcher,
and then as the game gets going on, and say
your starter starts getting towards the end and the conversations
(03:22):
with you know what docs start happening. We start kind
of going over like, how do we want to approach
you know, the end of the game, the end of
the starter's run, you know, do we need to get
him out of the.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
In the middle of an inning?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
If he finishes an inning? How do we how do
we set up our bullpen going forward? Hopefully we got
the lead, and and we've talked before the game, you know, myself,
doc or bench coach or bullpen coaches, you know who's available,
who do we feel good about throwing? And so those
a lot of it's just an ongoing conversation as the
game evolves, and and and honestly what the game is
(03:56):
telling us, what do we need in that moment, and
and just making sure that were prepared to make decisions
because it happens fast once once your starters out, it
happens fast.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
How much of your job is to be a therapist?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Uh, there's a there's a good percentage of it.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Some nights it's uh, it's small, and then other nights,
I think it can it can be a lot. And
you're just trying to you know, there's so much preparation
that these guys do on a get giving excuse me,
on a given day, and they're always getting their bodies ready.
They're always studying and making sure they're prepared. But as
you know, you you've covered sports, like you know, there's
(04:34):
no script. Once you get once the game starts, things happen,
and it's getting guys to find a way to win
ball games and find ways to get outs. Uh, and
sometimes it's ugly. And and when it's ugly, obviously guys,
and as athletes, you you want to be we're perfectionists,
you know. We want things to go the way that
we envision them to go, and and sometimes that doesn't happen,
(04:55):
and we have to be okay with that at times.
And you're just trying to get them to underst and
like the job, what was your job? Did you do
your job? And then let's pick up the pieces and
move forward the next day. And you know, a lot
of this game is mental and emotional. These guys are
really unbelievable lead athletes, but so much of it comes
down to how can you maintain maintain your emotions in
(05:19):
the moment and how can you just continue to try
to execute pitches to get the other hitter out.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
How many of your players, your pitchers, know your resume.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
I want to say, given that their cell phones are
always at hand, I want to say, there's at least
they've googled me at some point. Certain key facts do
come up where they are surprised.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
We will come up first. But that they would bring
up to you.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Usually it's it's the infamous game in two thousand and three.
That'll maybe be on in the clubhouse, and then all
of a sudden they'll kind of put two and two
together of oh, you were the guy.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
On the mound.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You didn't you know? We didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
So that's always the surprise one where you're kind of like, yeah,
that's me. That was twenty some years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So but what do you remember about that? When you
bring up the Bartman game? Yeah, I don't bring it up.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I don't bring it up TV.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You you brought up that. They brought it up right
right now. I can follow up by saying, when I
say that game and you're on the mound and you
see that foul ball going over, what do you think.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
You know?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Just like darn it?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
I wish I wish we caught it, And uh, Marlins
had a good team, they had a good run. So
I you know, it's it's been so long ago that
any you know, I mean, it was obviously a game.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I still feel you really think you said darn it.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
No, I didn't say darn words, but I don't, you know,
I think I pointed and said something. And you know,
I mean, look, it comes up every day in the games.
I mean, it came up in the Giants Padre game yesterday.
You know, it still happens, and it it looks. It's
it's the beauty of baseball that all these things can
(07:16):
through the course of time of this game, and how
many games have been played that plays like that still happen.
And that's why it's great. It's it's it's played by humans.
There's there's a lot of great things that happen. There's
crazy plays that happen every night in the game. And
so I think that's what makes people love the game,
because every single night you show up, things are you know,
(07:37):
things happen that you don't expect, and then things that
you think shouldn't happen because everybody's seen it happen before
and you know you shouldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It happens again. So it's it's the beauty of the game.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
It's it's what what Pepe draws people to it, it's
what people love about it.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
But it's also what.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Can be maddening at time, depending on which side of
the fan base you're on.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm talking to Mark Pryor, Dodger's pitching coach since twenty eighteen,
Dodgers at the Rockies tonight at eight forty eastern. Who
does Otani remind you of pitching wise?
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Well, nobody, because nobody, uh, nobody hits as much as
well as he does as a pitcher. Though I did
see a stat the other day that Freddy Jenkins had
I think thirteen homers as a cup, So I guess
he has some had some good power numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But uh, just his pitching style, who is you know, it's.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
A little bit uh, it's got a little bit of
Nolan in him, like where he's just gonna you know,
And I know I'm dating myself, but I grew up
watching Nolan and at the tail end of his career,
and you know, like he if he wants to just
rear back and blow it by you, like he's going
to do it and I think we've seen that where
(08:49):
obviously he has a very good and a very nasty sweeper,
but if he wants it, he's going to get a
hundred and he's gonna throw a right past you. And uh,
I think the the bat and he hit a bat
in Kansas City. I think it was like a second
or third outing, you know, and he's been kind of
in the mid nineties, and all of a sudden, you know,
a guy comes up and he's like, here you go,
here's three hundred mile an hour pitches, and so.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Uh, you know, you don't. We have a lot of
guys who.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Throw extremely hard in this league, and so the velocity
is not nothing, or it isn't isn't as exciting and unexpected,
I guess is a better way to say that it
used to be.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
But all of a sudden, this dude just out.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Of nowhere as one hundred hundred and one hundred and two.
And so that reminds me of watching Nolan when I
was a kid, where it was just like, all right,
I know he knows I'm throwing a fastball, and here
it is, and.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
See what you can do with it. And that's pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
I mean, it's it's still as a as a coach,
it's one thing, but it's really really as a fan
to watch him do what he does is pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
How would you pitch to Otani?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Well, as a pitching coach, we tried unsuccessfully at times.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
You know, I made the look.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
I was a two pitch pitcher, so you know, it's
trying to move my fastball around and throw my breaking
ball and try to change the shape.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
And you know, I try to go you know, up
and in and slow.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Him down, down and away, and you know, maybe just
trying to use all four quadrants.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I mean, he's he's when he's any when he's in a.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Groove, there's no pitch that he can't cover, and I
think that's what makes him special. You can throw it
one hundred miles an hour up and away and he'll
go backside left field home or twenty rows deep. You
can go down and in at one hundred he'll pull
a ball. He'll take off speed, you know, with ass
out like he did the other day, completely like lost
(10:40):
his entire body and he still hits it one hundred
and five.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Uh, and it gets over the fence.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
So you hope that you catch if you're an opposing pitcher,
you hope that you catch him.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
When he's in when he swings a little bit off.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
But right now it looks like he's starting to get
his swing going again, and he's doing some pretty incredible things.
And and just the way he impacts the base ball.
He that's the crazy thing is watching other big leaders
in the dugout marvel about how Hardy hits the ball.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
And that's that's the thing that is just like jaw dropping.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
It's not that it's the power and the average, it's
this guy's out.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
You know.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
It seems like he's averaging one hundred and ten off
the bat every single time. And guys are like big
league guys are extremely like in awe watching how hard
he hits the ball, even if it's an out. It's
it's insane.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, I remarked or marveled at that a couple of
years ago. If I'm just listening to guys hit, there
are certain guys when you hear him hit, that's different
than everybody else. And he's one of those guys. Anybody
else come to mind that when you hear that ball
off the bat, you know, you.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Know, yeah, I mean there's a couple years ago, Ronald
Lacuna hit a ball. I forget it was like either
like one seventeen or one nineteen or something. You hit
a ball at Dodger Stadium and it just sounded like
a shotgun. It was a home or to dead center.
And and he can impact the baseball extremely hard. You
know Freddy, you know, you know, Freddy can move some
(12:09):
balls forward all over the field. But when he impacts
the baseball at times, it comes off really hot.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I'm trying to think, uh, you know, Machado Tatis, but Judge.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Is another guy too when he when he connects Stanton,
those guys are they impact the baseball extremely hard. And
I'm I'm sure there was guys when I played who
hit the ball just as hard as they did, but
it sure doesn't. You know, we didn't have the numbers
to quantify it as much. But these guys, a lot
of a lot of players nowadays are really impacting the baseball.
(12:43):
And you know, it's scary out there. You're only sixty
feet away, so I mean, it's it's a little dangerous
at times.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Can you see a scenario in the postseason where Otani
comes in in relief.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It's a good question, very fair question.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
We've it's been discussed, and it's really understanding kind of
the rules of him coming in as a reliever and
knowing that because of the world of the way it's
set up right now, as a starter, he can come
out of the game and still maintain as a DH,
but he comes in as a reliever. You got to
find that line of where hopefully the game is because
you can't put him in in the sixth and then
(13:19):
take him out as a pitcher in seventh and keep
him in.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
As a DH.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
So it would have to be a situation where it
was probably we think the game's over and he's closing
or be okay with him not coming not hitting anymore.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
So that would be really the only scenario.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Can I see it, absolutely, But it would probably be
closer to the back end when the games, you know,
kind of on the line, and it would be over
after he's done.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Great to catch up with you again, Thanks for joining
us Mark anytime.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's Mark Pryor, Dodgers pitching coach and a former All
Star with the Cubs. And yeah, I forgot that Mark
was on the mound when the Bartman play happen. I didn't,
but I was wondering if his players have googled him.
And I appreciate I appreciate his honesty that they do
(14:12):
bring up that game. He didn't even want to say
the apartment game.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, and if you remember that game, there was an
error I won't give out the name by a Cubs
player one play later that was much bigger. Actually, in
the course of the game.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That one doesn't get talked about nearly as much.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
And that guy was paid to catch the ball and
healed the ball and he didn't Bartman Mark Prior though,
was one of those the all time they always post
things on the internet. Guys, you wish you could have
stayed healthy at twenty two years old, he was eighteen
and six with like at two point four Era finished
third in the cy Young and was cruising.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
He was.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You're looking at carry Wood and Mark Pryor and you're
thinking you're set. We got two hammers here and it
just didn't last long enough. All right, we'll take a break.
Phone calls coming out up, and we'll talk to our
good buddy Ross Tucker as well. We're back after this

One analyst and also college football analyst as well host
of Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Mike and Cincinnati joins us. Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today? Hey Mike?
Speaker 10 (16:13):
Hey Dann, How are you going?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Mike?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (16:17):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 14 (16:18):
Yeah, I think I'm in a bad spot here.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
I better call you back. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Sorry, all right, Mike, sorry to interrupt you. Day. Let's
bring in Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Hooker Football podcast,
and he called the Browns Eagles game last Saturday. He's
got the Eagles at the Jets on Friday night? Hi Ross,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (16:37):
I'm fantastic. I think I have better reception than that guy.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I think I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Most interesting team in the NFL is who.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Who Uh.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
There's a bunch of different ways I could go with
that one, you know, I think I'm gonna go with
I'm gonna go with the team I just saw on Saturday,
the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
I'm fast them.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
I said this today on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Dan,
I think there's a real possibility, probably unlikely, but there's
a possibility that they become the first team in NFL
history to have four different quarterbacks start at least four games.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Now, hear me out on this.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Okay, First of all, when they made the trade with
the Jaguars, the Travis Hunter trade to move down pick
up next year's first round.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
Pick, that that's a loud signal.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
To everybody that We're looking at this over the next
few years.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
We're not all going to try to win this year,
et cetera. So we all get that. I understand why
they're starting to flag going at the start of the year.
They have a tough schedule.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
They can sell the vets that we went to the
playoffs a couple of years ago with him, he gives
us the best chance to win.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
But they traded for Kenny Pickett for a reason.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
And I think deep Downs to Fame thinks that maybe
Kenny Pickett could be his Sam Darnold, his Baker Mayfield.
I mean now that one of those guys started to
really click until they were on their fourth team. This
is Kenny's third team, and I think in Stefanski's offense,
I believe he thinks he can get Kenny Pickett to
(18:18):
play at a pretty high level. I'm not sure I
really believe that Kenny can do that. But then they
also drafted a couple of rookies and that's been well documented.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Dylan Gabriel in the third round.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
They obviously like Shador Sanders only played one preseason game
in the fifth round, but he played well. People want
to see what he has, so I think there's a
reasonable scenario where Flacco starts. The first is called three
or four, they're zero to three, one and three whatever.
They put Picket in to see how he looks, take
(18:50):
him for a spin, and then they want to try
to find out about both Gabriel and should Sanders. Maybe
they hit on one of those guys, maybe one of
them looks like a very good, inexpensive backup.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
But they kind of need to find out.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
About both those guys before next year's first round, where
they have two first round picks. They might both be
in the top ten. They're highly likely if they didn't
hit on any of these guys, to get a franchise
quarterback or try to in the top ten next year.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
So the Browns might set a very.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Interesting record in terms of the number of quarterbacks to
start multiple games in the season.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I always look or like to look at coaching staffs
to see what decisions they make with their quarterbacks. Like
the Giants with Brian Dable Jackson, dark to me makes
more sense. I don't think they're going to be that
good of a team. But these you know, this coach
wants to keep his job with a very difficult schedule.
The Colt situation, Shane Steichen wants to keep his job,
(19:53):
the Brown situation that coach wants to keep his job
as well. And as a result, you got Russell Wilson,
Daniliel Jones, and then you're gonna have Joe Flacco. I
don't think it's a surprise that they're going with somebody
who's a little more proven and they can't really roll
the dice on somebody younger. What do you think?
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Well, and here's what's interesting.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
I tend to think, by the way, that the Browns
will probably give Stefanski and the GM Andrew Berry another year.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Otherwise, why would those guys have.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Made that trade that they made unless Dan they think
that making that trade helps them get another year, right,
Like maybe it's the chicken and the egg thing. The
Colts thing, to me is like the perfect example, okay,
of the dichotomy between fans, media, and to some.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Extent even some scouts in front office.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Executives versus coaches. I have seen this as long as
I've been around the NFL. Right media, some front office executives,
they love upside, they love physical traits, they love potential,
They love guys like Anthony Richardson right, Meanwhile.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Coaches, you know what they love.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
They love guys that they can trust, that are able
to execute the concepts that they're given, and that the
plays that are called. Guys that obviously are consistent. That's
what coaches value.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
You know. I know this, Dan. Multiple times in my.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Career, I was told by an assistant coach, Hey, the
front office hates you, like or this guy hates you.
But the coaches always like. I was never the high
upside guy. I was never the traits guy. I was
never someone that you get excited. Oh yes, we have
Ross Tucker and his short arms and average athleticism starting like.
(21:58):
Nobody ever felt that, but the coaches they knew. I
wasn't gonna be the reason why we lost. I was
gonna do the right thing every time they could trust me.
I was gonna play as hard as I possibly can.
I was consistent, and ultimately, coaches have to win. It's
year three for Shane Steiken. He needs to win this year.
(22:20):
If he thought that Anthony Richardson would help them win
more games this year, I can assure you he would
be starting.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
He doesn't.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Now remember this too, Dan, people lose sight of this.
You know, when the announcements made yesterday. I called that
Coach Titans game for CBS last year late in the season.
It had been a week or two earlier that several
of the veterans had sat down with Anthony Richardson to
(22:48):
go over with him what the standard should be and
what their expectations are.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
This is more than halfway through his second year.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
To Forrest Buckner and Quentin Nelson, those guys, this is
out there, it's public. They had to sit down and say, like,
listen and walk throughs. You need to be like this,
you know, after practice you need to do stuff like this.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
You know.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
Unfortunately, he's a really gifted, talented, but young, immature kid
who has gotten hurt a bunch doesn't really understand what
it means they be professional.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I don't know if he knows that now or not.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
But Shane s Tiken not waiting around to find out, right,
Like Shane Sikeen's like, you know what, Daniel Jones, he
can win. I saw with the Giants and my system,
he'll win. He'll do what I ask of him. He's
a pro. I'm attaching my life, my family's livelihood, my kids,
or I'm gonna live next year I'm gonna put more
(23:48):
faith in trust in Daniel Jones that he'll give me
a better chance to stay living in Indianapolis, Indiana next
year than.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Richardson talking to Ross Tucker the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
And and he had Browns Eagles last Saturday. He's got
the Eagles hit the Jets coming up on Friday night.
Would you rather have the career of Joe Flacco or
Philip Rivers.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Joe Flacco, Yeah, now listen, Philip Rivers, I think is
a better player. I think Philip Rivers has a better chance,
maybe a really good chance to be a Hall of Famer.
But in my first of all, Philip Rivers never got
to play in a Super Bowl, right, so forget even
(24:35):
winning it. You either have experience playing in the Super
Bowl or you haven't.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
I haven't. I've talked to guys that have.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
It's like a line of demarcation as an NFL player,
you either played in the Super Bowl or you didn't.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
And then Flaco. First of all, Flaco made a ton
of money.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
They probably made around the same money, and Flacco is
still going by the way, but Flacco won a Super Bowl.
And no matter how good an individual career, is. There
is nothing like winning a championship. I can speak to this, Dan.
I am so glad I got a chance to play
college football, and very thankful for seven years in the NFL.
(25:16):
In eighteen years of football, I won one championship. It
was my junior year of high school. It was thirty
years ago. Okay, it was nineteen ninety five. I can
tell you about every one of those games. I can
tell you about those guys when I go back to
my hometown, Okay, and I go to Third and Spruce,
(25:39):
or I go to any of these bars and I
see these guys. Right, I am not friends with these guys.
I don't text them, I don't even have their numbers.
But when I see them, we give each other a
hug and we reminisce about what it was like to
win the Berks I see championship in ninety five, what
(26:00):
it was like to beat Governor Mifflin. There is nothing
an individual accomplishment in my experience, can never even come
close to the shared joy and the shared experience of
a team accomplishment. Give me the team accomplishment and winning
the super Bowl and the bond that you have with
(26:22):
those guys forever over anything individual.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Joe Flacco or Dan Marino's careers.
Speaker 15 (26:30):
Okay, are we talking careers, We're talking lifestyle because I've
thought about this.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
And being Dan Marino in Miami in the eighties had
to be really, really fun.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It might still be.
Speaker 15 (26:43):
I mean, I mean, did I've said this? Okay, this
is a great topic for the rest of the show.
I'll program the next thirty minutes. Paul's not doing his
job anyway. Okay, if you could.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Be any athlete in any era, at any time for everything.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
That went along with it.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Okay, I'm just sitting here thinking Dan Marino in the
eighties in Miami, like Miami.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Vice, like stuff off the field. I mean, Dan Marino
had a top.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Five life of any athlete I can even fathom for
what that must have been like for him.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
So Joe Flacco, I mean, great Baltimore. I would rather
have probably Joe Flacco's career, but.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
I'd rather I'd rather have lived Dan Marino's life.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Safe travels. Great to talk to you as always, Thanks
for joining us.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
All right, see you guys.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
He never fails. Uh, He's got the Eagles hit the
jets coming up on Friday night. A couple of phone
calls in here Ben in Washington, Hi Ben, thanks for
holding what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (27:51):
Hey, good morning, Dan. I really appreciate you taking the calls.
I'm a huge fan of Lawyer movies and I have
a quick question for you, then a comment. The question
is related to when you're on set. My favorites movies
are my favorite performances. You know, it's probably Happy Gilmore is.
(28:13):
You know two is your second best performance, and I
still think my favorite.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
Is to just go with it.
Speaker 16 (28:18):
Your line of Big Country is just comedy gold. But
I'm wondering from your perspective, do you have a favorite
movie not necessarily because of your role, but because of
something that happened while you were on set or in
the background, or just a background story for your audience.
(28:38):
And then my second oh, go ahead, no, go ahead, Ben, Oh,
I was just gonna say. My second comment is I
think that we're all playing checkers in christ and Syracuse
chess world. I noticed yesterday when you called in and
give a very heartfelt message to Todd, the audience quickly
(28:59):
respect minded with multiple calls. You know, basically Tom Todd
sucket and you know, I'm wondering if Chris did that
on purpose, because I think it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And so he's too nice of a guy.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
He's Kristen Syracuse. There is nothing nefarious about him. But
thank you, Ben. Uh, just go with it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That set.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It was in Hawaii and you have Jennifer Aniston and
Nicole Kidman on stage with you in uh, very revealing outfits.
Dave Matthews was in the audience. Sandman's there. You can't
beat that. That was a whole lot of fun. David
in Ohio, Hi, David, what's on your mind today? Hey, David.
Speaker 17 (29:50):
Has the best Who's the best wardrobe on the U
when it comes to the danis I want to dig
a little bit deep into the archives ago you were
wearing those purple like Barney pants and I saw what
Polly was wearing. So I wanted to maybe get your
opinion on that best wardrobe for the day and as think.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It, Oh, it's Marvin. Marvin gives it a whole lot
of thought. I would I would rank it this way, Marvin,
because it's about his shoes and about his hat. Fashion
starts from the bottom up. Then it would be Paul
Fritzy gives thought to it a lot of times. It
(30:31):
could be guest related. He has a Dodger jersey on,
but he will wear something that will be kind of
in conjunction with a guest seat and I probably battle
it out for not really caring. As Seatan said to
me one time, it looks like you've given up, Dan
with the outfit wardrobe that I had on, And he
(30:53):
was right, I had kind of just given up. You know,
I'd lead with my voice and my hair and that's
all I need. Yeah. See it really, as long.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
As as like waste up looks good, then basically all set. Yeah,
I mean that when I said, when I said that
it looked like you'd given up, you were wearing really
baggy Adidas, like I don't like joggers. I guess sweatpants,
sweatpants stained with paint. Yeah, they had paint on them,
and then some kind of flannel shirt or something like that.
(31:26):
It had a real mister mom vibe to it, like
this dude hasn't taken the shower in four days.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
That being said, I'm somebody who can wear the exact
same clothes for like five days straight and not even blinks.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So you know, I did wear the same pants five
consecutive days just to see if Pauli realized that I
had the same but he's always focused on Fritzy, therefore
he didn't notice that I had the same pair of pants.
But you know, you kind of wake up and you go,
all right, I don't get there. We are on TV,
but this is really a show that's geared to radio.
(32:00):
And if you want to wear whatever you want want
to wear, I'm fine with them, Yes, Pauli.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
And pants, I think you can repeat them a couple
of times a week. You don't throw them the wash
every time, like socks and underwear.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
And I really don't have any rules except for I've
asked Fortzy to wear boxers or underwear, and yeah, I
can't make any promises with that.
Speaker 10 (32:21):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
David and Bakersfield, Hi David, What's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (32:28):
By longtime listener, second time caller Great Interviews with Ross Tucker.
I think Paul is going to take the pull question.
I gotta go with his his shirt and he kind
of reminded me of Jeff Bridges.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
As the dude. Okay, so we've had Tony Soprano, I
Liken it to maybe Rkle. They look like suspenders, but
they're not. And obviously you didn't get dressed up for
the audience. You got dressed up for something like you
have a job interview coming up?
Speaker 10 (32:59):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
What's going something's going on later?
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Don't know, multiple meetings are.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Happening, all right? Well saleo to big cat up T. Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I don't know if you ever seen the movie Clueless,
but share had a friend named Christian.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Christian did he have a hat? Though? Didn't Christian have
a hat? And he drove a a Metropolitan little car?
Yes he did? Yeah I think so. Yeah, Stacy Dash

Speaker 8 (34:08):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (34:08):
Real quick?
Speaker 18 (34:10):
That popped up wile was on hold us no centeresent team,
and I think it's Honestly, I think it's the Giants
with that front seven. I think they might be the
best chance to stop that Eagles rushing at that their
run game and that Russell Wilson moon ball to milite neighbors.
I think might be a thing that's with And secondly,
I'll be in an East Coast Lakers fam. The only
(34:30):
chance I have got to see the Lakers was gone
to a Washington with his game. So I was pretty
excited when they drafted drown Wall and I was like,
all right, these guys might be good if they can
build a round round law never things for fruition and
we Thirdly, I think Paul's shirt looks like something the
same man would throw one with some basketball shorts, go
play a pickup game and then have a production dinner afterwards.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Thank you, Jay. Now Samman would wear a Hawaiian shirt,
he wouldn't wear something as nice as that. Zach and Knoxville,
Hi Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 16 (35:07):
Hedip?
Speaker 18 (35:07):
Thanks for taking my call?
Speaker 19 (35:09):
I know You've used a lot of your influence to
get people in the Hall of Fame and this and that.
Can you just tell me if Terry mclauren will be
there for week one of the season.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I have no idea, no idea. I hope because I
like him, I hope he gets paid. I like the
story with the commanders, but ownership draws the line and
then sometimes you'll see a player who caves in comes back.
We saw that in Buffalo, We've seen that in Pittsburgh.
(35:39):
I don't know if that's going to happen with Terry
McLaurin see in Glendora. Hey see what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 10 (35:48):
DP? Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 16 (35:49):
Man.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
I just want to really quick say, great interviews.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
You are the best.
Speaker 10 (35:53):
My friends, loving interviews. Paully, that shirt, Pops, That's all
I'm gonna see. Okay, great interviews. Thanks, thanks for UH
for booking the for booking all the guests. Rittie, I
know you're great at your job, but Dnne, you got
an all star team there, and I love I love.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Listening to all you guys.
Speaker 16 (36:11):
Man.
Speaker 10 (36:11):
You guys all make my day. Man, I really appreciate it.
And one last thing you ever think about doing. I know,
after you retire and leave leave the the now what
you're doing now, But do you ever think about doing
something like David Letterman is doing, like, you know, just
making certain interviews because you're so great at it.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Well, I appreciate that, but no, I don't. I don't
want to travel. I don't want to do that that
I did that early in my career and I promised
my wife, my family that I wouldn't do that. And uh,
it's fun. I really enjoy interviewing, the whole process of it.
I think a lot of people think you just sit
down with a bunch of questions and you ask, and
(36:52):
there is more of a I don't want to say
scientific approach, but there is an approach to what you're
going to ask when you're going to ask it. And
there are a couple of good interviewers out there that
I admire, and I think to be a really good interviewer,
you have to really be interested in what that person
has to say. It can't be about you and your question,
(37:15):
It's about what their answers are. You have to really
really be curious. Somebody that I haven't mentioned, but I've
met him before Graham. Benzinger does a really good job.
He has an interview show where he'll spend an entire
show on one guest, and to make that interesting is
hard to do. But asking questions that are open ended
(37:37):
and about you and listening, that's really the key, and
that's what we teach at my broadcasting school. If you
think the interview is about your question, it's not going
to be a good interview. It has to be about
their answer, because their answer will lead to your next question.
But thank you, thank you for the compliment. Robin Orlando, Hi,
(37:58):
Rob Woo's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (38:01):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. As always, I
was talking to Todder therefore, I got on here and
asked him if y'all were going to be in Pittsburgh
next year for the draft. It sounded like it's a
potential thing. So that leads me to uh to this.
I will take the Steelers to make it to the
AFC Championship Game. I'll take on all comers of the
(38:23):
Dan needs. I will be there for the draft. I've
already got my hotel booked up and you can pot
of the face for many to the face whatever you
want at your time. And your discretion take it from there.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Anybody want a piece of Robin Orlando. He's got Oh,
Marvin hand up quickly.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
That means they got to win more than one playoff game.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Todd Todd raised it, all right, Rob.
Speaker 14 (38:46):
So he's saying the Steels will make it to the
AFC Championship game this season.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, I'm totally in on that. Yes, all right? So Todd,
Todd's in, and Marvin's in, Uh seating hand up. So
I just want to make sure that I heard it correctly.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
If I'm in on the bet, that means I think
the Steelers won't make the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yes, I'm in on that, yes, all right. So that's
that's three danets there, Rob So, uh, we'll see you.
We'll see you with the draft in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
You gotta guys see you there.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Okay, that's Rob at Orlando. Look forward to that. Pittsburgh
will turn out for that. H Greg in Detroit? Hi, Greg?
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (39:30):
A DP?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
How are you great?
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Listen?
Speaker 20 (39:33):
Last year so I called up and give you guys
a T shirt idea for that Brock to the Future.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And last week I heard.
Speaker 20 (39:39):
This story about that misspelling of Michael Pennox's name. I thought,
if Pennix lights it up, you guys are going to
have to come up with a T shirt Pennix envy.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, we've brought that up. I think going back to Indiana,
we brought up that possibility. But we don't think and
childish ways around here. House pever, very mature, very grown up, Paulie.
This day in sports history, I'll give you two.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Nineteen twenty, representatives of four pro football clubs met in Canton,
Ohio for what became the National Football League. What was
the original name of the National Football League?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
And you want to take a shot the American Professional
Football League the.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
APFA, and they changed to National Football League, that's correct.
Nineteen thirty nine. The National Bowling Association formed in Detroit,
a bowling hotbed, nineteen thirty.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Where was Kingpin king in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 4 (40:44):
We'll see Pennsylvania Amish country?
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yes, yes, because which you McCall it. The Quaid, Randy
Quaid was Amish? And is that where they picked him
up in Pennsylvania. That's a good character.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Harrolson's awesome.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
What he hears its great? Bill Murray, he was great.
Uh let's go around the room. What we learned on
the program?
Speaker 13 (41:07):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (41:08):
What'd you learn today?
Speaker 12 (41:09):
Now? Retired All Star John Wall went from being a
very good player to being paid forty two million by.
Speaker 8 (41:13):
The Rockets to not play at all?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Seaton?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Would you learn that damn Cubs game comes up every day?
Speaker 8 (41:18):
From Mark Bryan?
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I know Marvin, Mark Pryor did not see darny? Yeah,
when the Bartman play happened?

final hour on this Wednesday? Well, let me update you
real quick.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We have an Instagram only poll question happening right now,
all right, which is more on brand Dylan's shoes or
Paul's shirt. Okay, since it's a visual thing, we went
to Instagram for it. Right now, More on brand. Sixty
four percent have Paul shirt.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Okay, yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot of comments
and some compliments on on that shirt. That's very PAULI yes, yes, Pauline,
I think it's good.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
To wear kind of what you like at all times,
as long as you know it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Rude to other people. Okay, going back to you when
you're a kid, Yeah, I mean I don't think that.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Are you okay with Fritzie wearing his Bronco jersey?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, because that's again on brand for him. He's been
doing it for Wire to Wire Marvin.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Actually, I have a I have a fashion question. Is
it okay to lie to people about the hat you're wearing?
With Somebody at a Pittsburgh Pirates hat that I wear
sometimes on the show, and somebody's like, man, that Paul Skins.
I was like, man, if he had a little bit
more help with the with the offense, they'd be really good.
I was talking to him like I was a Pirates fan.
I just want to wear a shirt that says guys,
I don't like the team. I just like the hat.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, it's all about fashion for you. Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I think it's interesting though Paul's statement there where he said,
you know, wear what you like is like the most
most important thing, and yet no one comments on other
people's clothing more than Paul.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
True, I'll make fun of things, but I think you
should play through the criticism.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Correct ool Mark pryor God your pitching coach since twenty
eighteen and back go on the program. Been a while.
How are you.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I'm doing well, that has been a while. Thanks for
having me.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Uh what is your job during a game as pitching coach?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Well, I mean yeah, I mean basically, obviously, I'm watching
the game, and then you know, tracking pitches, talking with
the pitcher in between innings, talking with the catcher in
between innings, seen talking and trying to figure out like.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
What's working, what's not working?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
You know, do we have an idea what they're trying
to do from an offensive approach with our pitcher, and
then maybe you know, starting a game plan. You know,
what's going on? What do we want to do the
next time through? Like who's coming up? How do we
want to attack them?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Do we want to.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
You know, do we kind of want to stay with
the plan before the game? Do we want to you know,
do something different and audible, change some things up and
and so those are kind of a lot of the
in game conversations with your pitcher and with the catcher,
and then as the game gets going on, and say
your starter starts getting towards the end and the conversations
(03:22):
with you know what docs start happening. We start kind
of going over like, how do we want to approach
you know, the end of the game, the end of
the starter's run, you know, do we need to get
him out of the.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
In the middle of an inning?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
If he finishes an inning? How do we how do
we set up our bullpen going forward? Hopefully we got
the lead, and and we've talked before the game, you know, myself,
doc or bench coach or bullpen coaches, you know who's available,
who do we feel good about throwing? And so those
a lot of it's just an ongoing conversation as the
game evolves, and and and honestly what the game is
(03:56):
telling us, what do we need in that moment, and
and just making sure that were prepared to make decisions
because it happens fast once once your starters out, it
happens fast.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
How much of your job is to be a therapist?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Uh, there's a there's a good percentage of it.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Some nights it's uh, it's small, and then other nights,
I think it can it can be a lot. And
you're just trying to you know, there's so much preparation
that these guys do on a get giving excuse me,
on a given day, and they're always getting their bodies ready.
They're always studying and making sure they're prepared. But as
you know, you you've covered sports, like you know, there's
(04:34):
no script. Once you get once the game starts, things happen,
and it's getting guys to find a way to win
ball games and find ways to get outs. Uh, and
sometimes it's ugly. And and when it's ugly, obviously guys,
and as athletes, you you want to be we're perfectionists,
you know. We want things to go the way that
we envision them to go, and and sometimes that doesn't happen,
(04:55):
and we have to be okay with that at times.
And you're just trying to get them to underst and
like the job, what was your job? Did you do
your job? And then let's pick up the pieces and
move forward the next day. And you know, a lot
of this game is mental and emotional. These guys are
really unbelievable lead athletes, but so much of it comes
down to how can you maintain maintain your emotions in
(05:19):
the moment and how can you just continue to try
to execute pitches to get the other hitter out.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
How many of your players, your pitchers, know your resume.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
I want to say, given that their cell phones are
always at hand, I want to say, there's at least
they've googled me at some point. Certain key facts do
come up where they are surprised.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
We will come up first. But that they would bring
up to you.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Usually it's it's the infamous game in two thousand and three.
That'll maybe be on in the clubhouse, and then all
of a sudden they'll kind of put two and two
together of oh, you were the guy.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
On the mound.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You didn't you know? We didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
So that's always the surprise one where you're kind of like, yeah,
that's me. That was twenty some years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So but what do you remember about that? When you
bring up the Bartman game? Yeah, I don't bring it up.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I don't bring it up TV.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You you brought up that. They brought it up right
right now. I can follow up by saying, when I
say that game and you're on the mound and you
see that foul ball going over, what do you think.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
You know?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Just like darn it?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
I wish I wish we caught it, And uh, Marlins
had a good team, they had a good run. So
I you know, it's it's been so long ago that
any you know, I mean, it was obviously a game.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I still feel you really think you said darn it.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
No, I didn't say darn words, but I don't, you know,
I think I pointed and said something. And you know,
I mean, look, it comes up every day in the games.
I mean, it came up in the Giants Padre game yesterday.
You know, it still happens, and it it looks. It's
it's the beauty of baseball that all these things can
(07:16):
through the course of time of this game, and how
many games have been played that plays like that still happen.
And that's why it's great. It's it's it's played by humans.
There's there's a lot of great things that happen. There's
crazy plays that happen every night in the game. And
so I think that's what makes people love the game,
because every single night you show up, things are you know,
(07:37):
things happen that you don't expect, and then things that
you think shouldn't happen because everybody's seen it happen before
and you know you shouldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It happens again. So it's it's the beauty of the game.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
It's it's what what Pepe draws people to it, it's
what people love about it.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
But it's also what.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Can be maddening at time, depending on which side of
the fan base you're on.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm talking to Mark Pryor, Dodger's pitching coach since twenty eighteen,
Dodgers at the Rockies tonight at eight forty eastern. Who
does Otani remind you of pitching wise?
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Well, nobody, because nobody, uh, nobody hits as much as
well as he does as a pitcher. Though I did
see a stat the other day that Freddy Jenkins had
I think thirteen homers as a cup, So I guess
he has some had some good power numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But uh, just his pitching style, who is you know, it's.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
A little bit uh, it's got a little bit of
Nolan in him, like where he's just gonna you know,
And I know I'm dating myself, but I grew up
watching Nolan and at the tail end of his career,
and you know, like he if he wants to just
rear back and blow it by you, like he's going
to do it and I think we've seen that where
(08:49):
obviously he has a very good and a very nasty sweeper,
but if he wants it, he's going to get a
hundred and he's gonna throw a right past you. And uh,
I think the the bat and he hit a bat
in Kansas City. I think it was like a second
or third outing, you know, and he's been kind of
in the mid nineties, and all of a sudden, you know,
a guy comes up and he's like, here you go,
here's three hundred mile an hour pitches, and so.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Uh, you know, you don't. We have a lot of
guys who.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Throw extremely hard in this league, and so the velocity
is not nothing, or it isn't isn't as exciting and unexpected,
I guess is a better way to say that it
used to be.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
But all of a sudden, this dude just out.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Of nowhere as one hundred hundred and one hundred and two.
And so that reminds me of watching Nolan when I
was a kid, where it was just like, all right,
I know he knows I'm throwing a fastball, and here
it is, and.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
See what you can do with it. And that's pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
I mean, it's it's still as a as a coach,
it's one thing, but it's really really as a fan
to watch him do what he does is pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
How would you pitch to Otani?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Well, as a pitching coach, we tried unsuccessfully at times.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
You know, I made the look.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
I was a two pitch pitcher, so you know, it's
trying to move my fastball around and throw my breaking
ball and try to change the shape.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
And you know, I try to go you know, up
and in and slow.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Him down, down and away, and you know, maybe just
trying to use all four quadrants.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I mean, he's he's when he's any when he's in a.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Groove, there's no pitch that he can't cover, and I
think that's what makes him special. You can throw it
one hundred miles an hour up and away and he'll
go backside left field home or twenty rows deep. You
can go down and in at one hundred he'll pull
a ball. He'll take off speed, you know, with ass
out like he did the other day, completely like lost
(10:40):
his entire body and he still hits it one hundred
and five.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Uh, and it gets over the fence.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
So you hope that you catch if you're an opposing pitcher,
you hope that you catch him.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
When he's in when he swings a little bit off.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
But right now it looks like he's starting to get
his swing going again, and he's doing some pretty incredible things.
And and just the way he impacts the base ball.
He that's the crazy thing is watching other big leaders
in the dugout marvel about how Hardy hits the ball.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
And that's that's the thing that is just like jaw dropping.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
It's not that it's the power and the average, it's
this guy's out.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
You know.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
It seems like he's averaging one hundred and ten off
the bat every single time. And guys are like big
league guys are extremely like in awe watching how hard
he hits the ball, even if it's an out. It's
it's insane.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, I remarked or marveled at that a couple of
years ago. If I'm just listening to guys hit, there
are certain guys when you hear him hit, that's different
than everybody else. And he's one of those guys. Anybody
else come to mind that when you hear that ball
off the bat, you know, you.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Know, yeah, I mean there's a couple years ago, Ronald
Lacuna hit a ball. I forget it was like either
like one seventeen or one nineteen or something. You hit
a ball at Dodger Stadium and it just sounded like
a shotgun. It was a home or to dead center.
And and he can impact the baseball extremely hard. You
know Freddy, you know, you know, Freddy can move some
(12:09):
balls forward all over the field. But when he impacts
the baseball at times, it comes off really hot.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I'm trying to think, uh, you know, Machado Tatis, but Judge.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Is another guy too when he when he connects Stanton,
those guys are they impact the baseball extremely hard. And
I'm I'm sure there was guys when I played who
hit the ball just as hard as they did, but
it sure doesn't. You know, we didn't have the numbers
to quantify it as much. But these guys, a lot
of a lot of players nowadays are really impacting the baseball.
(12:43):
And you know, it's scary out there. You're only sixty
feet away, so I mean, it's it's a little dangerous
at times.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Can you see a scenario in the postseason where Otani
comes in in relief.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It's a good question, very fair question.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
We've it's been discussed, and it's really understanding kind of
the rules of him coming in as a reliever and
knowing that because of the world of the way it's
set up right now, as a starter, he can come
out of the game and still maintain as a DH,
but he comes in as a reliever. You got to
find that line of where hopefully the game is because
you can't put him in in the sixth and then
(13:19):
take him out as a pitcher in seventh and keep
him in.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
As a DH.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
So it would have to be a situation where it
was probably we think the game's over and he's closing
or be okay with him not coming not hitting anymore.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
So that would be really the only scenario.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Can I see it, absolutely, But it would probably be
closer to the back end when the games, you know,
kind of on the line, and it would be over
after he's done.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Great to catch up with you again, Thanks for joining
us Mark anytime.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's Mark Pryor, Dodgers pitching coach and a former All
Star with the Cubs. And yeah, I forgot that Mark
was on the mound when the Bartman play happen. I didn't,
but I was wondering if his players have googled him.
And I appreciate I appreciate his honesty that they do
(14:12):
bring up that game. He didn't even want to say
the apartment game.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, and if you remember that game, there was an
error I won't give out the name by a Cubs
player one play later that was much bigger. Actually, in
the course of the game.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That one doesn't get talked about nearly as much.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
And that guy was paid to catch the ball and
healed the ball and he didn't Bartman Mark Prior though,
was one of those the all time they always post
things on the internet. Guys, you wish you could have
stayed healthy at twenty two years old, he was eighteen
and six with like at two point four Era finished
third in the cy Young and was cruising.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
He was.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You're looking at carry Wood and Mark Pryor and you're
thinking you're set. We got two hammers here and it
just didn't last long enough. All right, we'll take a break.
Phone calls coming out up, and we'll talk to our
good buddy Ross Tucker as well. We're back after this

One analyst and also college football analyst as well host
of Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Mike and Cincinnati joins us. Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today? Hey Mike?
Speaker 10 (16:13):
Hey Dann, How are you going?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Mike?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (16:17):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 14 (16:18):
Yeah, I think I'm in a bad spot here.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
I better call you back. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Sorry, all right, Mike, sorry to interrupt you. Day. Let's
bring in Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Hooker Football podcast,
and he called the Browns Eagles game last Saturday. He's
got the Eagles at the Jets on Friday night? Hi Ross,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (16:37):
I'm fantastic. I think I have better reception than that guy.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I think I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Most interesting team in the NFL is who.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Who Uh.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
There's a bunch of different ways I could go with
that one, you know, I think I'm gonna go with
I'm gonna go with the team I just saw on Saturday,
the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
I'm fast them.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
I said this today on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Dan,
I think there's a real possibility, probably unlikely, but there's
a possibility that they become the first team in NFL
history to have four different quarterbacks start at least four games.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Now, hear me out on this.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Okay, First of all, when they made the trade with
the Jaguars, the Travis Hunter trade to move down pick
up next year's first round.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
Pick, that that's a loud signal.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
To everybody that We're looking at this over the next
few years.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
We're not all going to try to win this year,
et cetera. So we all get that. I understand why
they're starting to flag going at the start of the year.
They have a tough schedule.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
They can sell the vets that we went to the
playoffs a couple of years ago with him, he gives
us the best chance to win.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
But they traded for Kenny Pickett for a reason.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
And I think deep Downs to Fame thinks that maybe
Kenny Pickett could be his Sam Darnold, his Baker Mayfield.
I mean now that one of those guys started to
really click until they were on their fourth team. This
is Kenny's third team, and I think in Stefanski's offense,
I believe he thinks he can get Kenny Pickett to
(18:18):
play at a pretty high level. I'm not sure I
really believe that Kenny can do that. But then they
also drafted a couple of rookies and that's been well documented.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Dylan Gabriel in the third round.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
They obviously like Shador Sanders only played one preseason game
in the fifth round, but he played well. People want
to see what he has, so I think there's a
reasonable scenario where Flacco starts. The first is called three
or four, they're zero to three, one and three whatever.
They put Picket in to see how he looks, take
(18:50):
him for a spin, and then they want to try
to find out about both Gabriel and should Sanders. Maybe
they hit on one of those guys, maybe one of
them looks like a very good, inexpensive backup.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
But they kind of need to find out.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
About both those guys before next year's first round, where
they have two first round picks. They might both be
in the top ten. They're highly likely if they didn't
hit on any of these guys, to get a franchise
quarterback or try to in the top ten next year.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
So the Browns might set a very.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Interesting record in terms of the number of quarterbacks to
start multiple games in the season.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I always look or like to look at coaching staffs
to see what decisions they make with their quarterbacks. Like
the Giants with Brian Dable Jackson, dark to me makes
more sense. I don't think they're going to be that
good of a team. But these you know, this coach
wants to keep his job with a very difficult schedule.
The Colt situation, Shane Steichen wants to keep his job,
(19:53):
the Brown situation that coach wants to keep his job
as well. And as a result, you got Russell Wilson,
Daniliel Jones, and then you're gonna have Joe Flacco. I
don't think it's a surprise that they're going with somebody
who's a little more proven and they can't really roll
the dice on somebody younger. What do you think?
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Well, and here's what's interesting.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
I tend to think, by the way, that the Browns
will probably give Stefanski and the GM Andrew Berry another year.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Otherwise, why would those guys have.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Made that trade that they made unless Dan they think
that making that trade helps them get another year, right,
Like maybe it's the chicken and the egg thing. The
Colts thing, to me is like the perfect example, okay,
of the dichotomy between fans, media, and to some.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Extent even some scouts in front office.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Executives versus coaches. I have seen this as long as
I've been around the NFL. Right media, some front office executives,
they love upside, they love physical traits, they love potential,
They love guys like Anthony Richardson right, Meanwhile.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Coaches, you know what they love.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
They love guys that they can trust, that are able
to execute the concepts that they're given, and that the
plays that are called. Guys that obviously are consistent. That's
what coaches value.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
You know. I know this, Dan. Multiple times in my.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Career, I was told by an assistant coach, Hey, the
front office hates you, like or this guy hates you.
But the coaches always like. I was never the high
upside guy. I was never the traits guy. I was
never someone that you get excited. Oh yes, we have
Ross Tucker and his short arms and average athleticism starting like.
(21:58):
Nobody ever felt that, but the coaches they knew. I
wasn't gonna be the reason why we lost. I was
gonna do the right thing every time they could trust me.
I was gonna play as hard as I possibly can.
I was consistent, and ultimately, coaches have to win. It's
year three for Shane Steiken. He needs to win this year.
(22:20):
If he thought that Anthony Richardson would help them win
more games this year, I can assure you he would
be starting.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
He doesn't.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Now remember this too, Dan, people lose sight of this.
You know, when the announcements made yesterday. I called that
Coach Titans game for CBS last year late in the season.
It had been a week or two earlier that several
of the veterans had sat down with Anthony Richardson to
(22:48):
go over with him what the standard should be and
what their expectations are.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
This is more than halfway through his second year.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
To Forrest Buckner and Quentin Nelson, those guys, this is
out there, it's public. They had to sit down and say, like,
listen and walk throughs. You need to be like this,
you know, after practice you need to do stuff like this.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
You know.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
Unfortunately, he's a really gifted, talented, but young, immature kid
who has gotten hurt a bunch doesn't really understand what
it means they be professional.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I don't know if he knows that now or not.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
But Shane s Tiken not waiting around to find out, right,
Like Shane Sikeen's like, you know what, Daniel Jones, he
can win. I saw with the Giants and my system,
he'll win. He'll do what I ask of him. He's
a pro. I'm attaching my life, my family's livelihood, my kids,
or I'm gonna live next year I'm gonna put more
(23:48):
faith in trust in Daniel Jones that he'll give me
a better chance to stay living in Indianapolis, Indiana next
year than.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Richardson talking to Ross Tucker the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
And and he had Browns Eagles last Saturday. He's got
the Eagles hit the Jets coming up on Friday night.
Would you rather have the career of Joe Flacco or
Philip Rivers.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Joe Flacco, Yeah, now listen, Philip Rivers, I think is
a better player. I think Philip Rivers has a better chance,
maybe a really good chance to be a Hall of Famer.
But in my first of all, Philip Rivers never got
to play in a Super Bowl, right, so forget even
(24:35):
winning it. You either have experience playing in the Super
Bowl or you haven't.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
I haven't. I've talked to guys that have.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
It's like a line of demarcation as an NFL player,
you either played in the Super Bowl or you didn't.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
And then Flaco. First of all, Flaco made a ton
of money.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
They probably made around the same money, and Flacco is
still going by the way, but Flacco won a Super Bowl.
And no matter how good an individual career, is. There
is nothing like winning a championship. I can speak to this, Dan.
I am so glad I got a chance to play
college football, and very thankful for seven years in the NFL.
(25:16):
In eighteen years of football, I won one championship. It
was my junior year of high school. It was thirty
years ago. Okay, it was nineteen ninety five. I can
tell you about every one of those games. I can
tell you about those guys when I go back to
my hometown, Okay, and I go to Third and Spruce,
(25:39):
or I go to any of these bars and I
see these guys. Right, I am not friends with these guys.
I don't text them, I don't even have their numbers.
But when I see them, we give each other a
hug and we reminisce about what it was like to
win the Berks I see championship in ninety five, what
(26:00):
it was like to beat Governor Mifflin. There is nothing
an individual accomplishment in my experience, can never even come
close to the shared joy and the shared experience of
a team accomplishment. Give me the team accomplishment and winning
the super Bowl and the bond that you have with
(26:22):
those guys forever over anything individual.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Joe Flacco or Dan Marino's careers.
Speaker 15 (26:30):
Okay, are we talking careers, We're talking lifestyle because I've
thought about this.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
And being Dan Marino in Miami in the eighties had
to be really, really fun.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It might still be.
Speaker 15 (26:43):
I mean, I mean, did I've said this? Okay, this
is a great topic for the rest of the show.
I'll program the next thirty minutes. Paul's not doing his
job anyway. Okay, if you could.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Be any athlete in any era, at any time for everything.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
That went along with it.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Okay, I'm just sitting here thinking Dan Marino in the
eighties in Miami, like Miami.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Vice, like stuff off the field. I mean, Dan Marino
had a top.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Five life of any athlete I can even fathom for
what that must have been like for him.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
So Joe Flacco, I mean, great Baltimore. I would rather
have probably Joe Flacco's career, but.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
I'd rather I'd rather have lived Dan Marino's life.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Safe travels. Great to talk to you as always, Thanks
for joining us.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
All right, see you guys.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
He never fails. Uh, He's got the Eagles hit the
jets coming up on Friday night. A couple of phone
calls in here Ben in Washington, Hi Ben, thanks for
holding what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (27:51):
Hey, good morning, Dan. I really appreciate you taking the calls.
I'm a huge fan of Lawyer movies and I have
a quick question for you, then a comment. The question
is related to when you're on set. My favorites movies
are my favorite performances. You know, it's probably Happy Gilmore is.
(28:13):
You know two is your second best performance, and I
still think my favorite.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
Is to just go with it.
Speaker 16 (28:18):
Your line of Big Country is just comedy gold. But
I'm wondering from your perspective, do you have a favorite
movie not necessarily because of your role, but because of
something that happened while you were on set or in
the background, or just a background story for your audience.
(28:38):
And then my second oh, go ahead, no, go ahead, Ben, Oh,
I was just gonna say. My second comment is I
think that we're all playing checkers in christ and Syracuse
chess world. I noticed yesterday when you called in and
give a very heartfelt message to Todd, the audience quickly
(28:59):
respect minded with multiple calls. You know, basically Tom Todd
sucket and you know, I'm wondering if Chris did that
on purpose, because I think it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And so he's too nice of a guy.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
He's Kristen Syracuse. There is nothing nefarious about him. But
thank you, Ben. Uh, just go with it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That set.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It was in Hawaii and you have Jennifer Aniston and
Nicole Kidman on stage with you in uh, very revealing outfits.
Dave Matthews was in the audience. Sandman's there. You can't
beat that. That was a whole lot of fun. David
in Ohio, Hi, David, what's on your mind today? Hey, David.
Speaker 17 (29:50):
Has the best Who's the best wardrobe on the U
when it comes to the danis I want to dig
a little bit deep into the archives ago you were
wearing those purple like Barney pants and I saw what
Polly was wearing. So I wanted to maybe get your
opinion on that best wardrobe for the day and as think.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It, Oh, it's Marvin. Marvin gives it a whole lot
of thought. I would I would rank it this way, Marvin,
because it's about his shoes and about his hat. Fashion
starts from the bottom up. Then it would be Paul
Fritzy gives thought to it a lot of times. It
(30:31):
could be guest related. He has a Dodger jersey on,
but he will wear something that will be kind of
in conjunction with a guest seat and I probably battle
it out for not really caring. As Seatan said to
me one time, it looks like you've given up, Dan
with the outfit wardrobe that I had on, And he
(30:53):
was right, I had kind of just given up. You know,
I'd lead with my voice and my hair and that's
all I need. Yeah. See it really, as long.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
As as like waste up looks good, then basically all set. Yeah,
I mean that when I said, when I said that
it looked like you'd given up, you were wearing really
baggy Adidas, like I don't like joggers. I guess sweatpants,
sweatpants stained with paint. Yeah, they had paint on them,
and then some kind of flannel shirt or something like that.
(31:26):
It had a real mister mom vibe to it, like
this dude hasn't taken the shower in four days.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
That being said, I'm somebody who can wear the exact
same clothes for like five days straight and not even blinks.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So you know, I did wear the same pants five
consecutive days just to see if Pauli realized that I
had the same but he's always focused on Fritzy, therefore
he didn't notice that I had the same pair of pants.
But you know, you kind of wake up and you go,
all right, I don't get there. We are on TV,
but this is really a show that's geared to radio.
(32:00):
And if you want to wear whatever you want want
to wear, I'm fine with them, Yes, Pauli.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
And pants, I think you can repeat them a couple
of times a week. You don't throw them the wash
every time, like socks and underwear.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
And I really don't have any rules except for I've
asked Fortzy to wear boxers or underwear, and yeah, I
can't make any promises with that.
Speaker 10 (32:21):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
David and Bakersfield, Hi David, What's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (32:28):
By longtime listener, second time caller Great Interviews with Ross Tucker.
I think Paul is going to take the pull question.
I gotta go with his his shirt and he kind
of reminded me of Jeff Bridges.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
As the dude. Okay, so we've had Tony Soprano, I
Liken it to maybe Rkle. They look like suspenders, but
they're not. And obviously you didn't get dressed up for
the audience. You got dressed up for something like you
have a job interview coming up?
Speaker 10 (32:59):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
What's going something's going on later?
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Don't know, multiple meetings are.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Happening, all right? Well saleo to big cat up T. Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I don't know if you ever seen the movie Clueless,
but share had a friend named Christian.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Christian did he have a hat? Though? Didn't Christian have
a hat? And he drove a a Metropolitan little car?
Yes he did? Yeah I think so. Yeah, Stacy Dash
looked great in that movie. Yes she had a run,
Yes she did. They left her in there? Yeah I know. Oops,

Speaker 8 (34:08):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (34:08):
Real quick?
Speaker 18 (34:10):
That popped up wile was on hold us no centeresent team,
and I think it's Honestly, I think it's the Giants
with that front seven. I think they might be the
best chance to stop that Eagles rushing at that their
run game and that Russell Wilson moon ball to milite neighbors.
I think might be a thing that's with And secondly,
I'll be in an East Coast Lakers fam. The only
(34:30):
chance I have got to see the Lakers was gone
to a Washington with his game. So I was pretty
excited when they drafted drown Wall and I was like,
all right, these guys might be good if they can
build a round round law never things for fruition and
we Thirdly, I think Paul's shirt looks like something the
same man would throw one with some basketball shorts, go
play a pickup game and then have a production dinner afterwards.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Thank you, Jay. Now Samman would wear a Hawaiian shirt,
he wouldn't wear something as nice as that. Zach and Knoxville,
Hi Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 16 (35:07):
Hedip?
Speaker 18 (35:07):
Thanks for taking my call?
Speaker 19 (35:09):
I know You've used a lot of your influence to
get people in the Hall of Fame and this and that.
Can you just tell me if Terry mclauren will be
there for week one of the season.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I have no idea, no idea. I hope because I
like him, I hope he gets paid. I like the
story with the commanders, but ownership draws the line and
then sometimes you'll see a player who caves in comes back.
We saw that in Buffalo, We've seen that in Pittsburgh.
(35:39):
I don't know if that's going to happen with Terry
McLaurin see in Glendora. Hey see what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 10 (35:48):
DP? Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 16 (35:49):
Man.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
I just want to really quick say, great interviews.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
You are the best.
Speaker 10 (35:53):
My friends, loving interviews. Paully, that shirt, Pops, That's all
I'm gonna see. Okay, great interviews. Thanks, thanks for UH
for booking the for booking all the guests. Rittie, I
know you're great at your job, but Dnne, you got
an all star team there, and I love I love.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Listening to all you guys.
Speaker 16 (36:11):
Man.
Speaker 10 (36:11):
You guys all make my day. Man, I really appreciate it.
And one last thing you ever think about doing. I know,
after you retire and leave leave the the now what
you're doing now, But do you ever think about doing
something like David Letterman is doing, like, you know, just
making certain interviews because you're so great at it.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Well, I appreciate that, but no, I don't. I don't
want to travel. I don't want to do that that
I did that early in my career and I promised
my wife, my family that I wouldn't do that. And uh,
it's fun. I really enjoy interviewing, the whole process of it.
I think a lot of people think you just sit
down with a bunch of questions and you ask, and
(36:52):
there is more of a I don't want to say
scientific approach, but there is an approach to what you're
going to ask when you're going to ask it. And
there are a couple of good interviewers out there that
I admire, and I think to be a really good interviewer,
you have to really be interested in what that person
has to say. It can't be about you and your question,
(37:15):
It's about what their answers are. You have to really
really be curious. Somebody that I haven't mentioned, but I've
met him before Graham. Benzinger does a really good job.
He has an interview show where he'll spend an entire
show on one guest, and to make that interesting is
hard to do. But asking questions that are open ended
(37:37):
and about you and listening, that's really the key, and
that's what we teach at my broadcasting school. If you
think the interview is about your question, it's not going
to be a good interview. It has to be about
their answer, because their answer will lead to your next question.
But thank you, thank you for the compliment. Robin Orlando, Hi,
(37:58):
Rob Woo's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (38:01):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. As always, I
was talking to Todder therefore, I got on here and
asked him if y'all were going to be in Pittsburgh
next year for the draft. It sounded like it's a
potential thing. So that leads me to uh to this.
I will take the Steelers to make it to the
AFC Championship Game. I'll take on all comers of the
(38:23):
Dan needs. I will be there for the draft. I've
already got my hotel booked up and you can pot
of the face for many to the face whatever you
want at your time. And your discretion take it from there.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Anybody want a piece of Robin Orlando. He's got Oh,
Marvin hand up quickly.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
That means they got to win more than one playoff game.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Todd Todd raised it, all right, Rob.
Speaker 14 (38:46):
So he's saying the Steels will make it to the
AFC Championship game this season.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, I'm totally in on that. Yes, all right? So Todd,
Todd's in, and Marvin's in, Uh seating hand up. So
I just want to make sure that I heard it correctly.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
If I'm in on the bet, that means I think
the Steelers won't make the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yes, I'm in on that, yes, all right. So that's
that's three danets there, Rob So, uh, we'll see you.
We'll see you with the draft in Pittsburgh.

a T shirt idea for that Brock to the Future.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And last week I heard.
Speaker 20 (39:39):
This story about that misspelling of Michael Pennox's name. I thought,
if Pennix lights it up, you guys are going to
have to come up with a T shirt Pennix envy.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, we've brought that up. I think going back to Indiana,
we brought up that possibility. But we don't think and
childish ways around here. House pever, very mature, very grown up, Paulie.
