Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Wednesday, we'll talk some baseball. Sean Casey, MLB
network analysts will stop by momentarily. Coming up Saturday, the
Premier League not Premier League, it's the Premier League live
on NBC, streaming on Peacock. Liverpool looks to continue its
hot start and tame Chelsea. That'll be coming up Saturday
on NBC and Peacock Final Hour. Have a new poll
(00:28):
question here. Your phone calls are welcome each seven to
seven to three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle a dpshow. You had the Dodgers with ten
runs and the other three games combined for eleven runs.
I think it still comes down to pitching. I know
that we talk about hitting all year long. We have
moved on from that starter, although Crochet and scooball were
(00:52):
wonderful yesterday, and it just feels like when you're in
a three game series, like the tension is there from
the first bat, the first pitch, and having one of
those pitchers that can go seven and a third seven
and two thirds and then you can give your bullpen
a little bit of a rest because you know there's
gonna be one game that's a bullpen game. But watching
(01:14):
last night, even Max Freed, I thought that they were
going to stay with him, and then all of a sudden,
I had to remind myself, Aaron Boone is going to
lean on analytics, and he had this to say about
taking his starting pitcher out last night, Aaron.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Maxfreed was dealing tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
What was the thought process behind taking him out to
go to the pen?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
There?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
With nobody on in one out in the seventh.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
They pressured him pretty good in the fourth, fifth, sixth.
You know, I had a couple base runners each inning,
so I felt like he kind of cruised through the
first few. And obviously he ends up pitching great, but
I felt like he had to work pretty hard and
I was gonna have the six b at the end,
but once we got the double, we finished with the
double play, I wanted to go out and get Duran
and then felt like we were lined up okay.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So they end up losing the game to the Red Sox,
and you know, in sebesta three, you gotta jump on quickly.
Show Hey Otani, second home run of the night sounded
like this on a one to one Otani. It's a
towering ball deep right field.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
He flips the bat bed watches it fly three quarters
of the way up the pavilion. Just a mammoth blast
for his second home run, and the Dodgers are pouring
it on.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
At Game one, curtit the Dodgers Radio Network, we bring
in Sean Casey, MLB Network analyst. You can see him
throughout the postseason on MLB Network the studio shows, also
MLB Tonight and his Mayor's Office podcast, Great to See
You Again. How much of the game comes down to
a gut feeling as opposed to the analytics, because it
(02:52):
feels like you can lean on analytics and blame analytics,
but when it's a gut feeling, it's on you.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Yeah, what's up, Danny? Yeah. I think there's definitely something
to that, you know.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
I think we go back to, you know, a few
years ago when when Snell was cruising along for the
Rays and then Cash comes and gets them because that's
what the analytics say.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
And I think that was the.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
First time we were all like, oh man, where's the
gut feel here of kind of watching what you're seeing
and going with that. I think the managers that are
that are in these games, you know, are allowed to
go on gut fields. And you heard Aaron Boone say,
I think that was a gut field for him. He
felt like there was some traffic on the bases with
Freed in four, five and six, and he felt like,
(03:36):
you know that that was the right time he was
going to go to the pen there anyhow, So I
feel like that was kind of a gut feel from
Boone as opposed to the analytics. But you know, Danny
being in these meetings, you know, being back in the
clubhouse in twenty twenty three with the Yankees and seeing
these meetings of how hey, if this matchup comes up,
the analytics say here, you know those are on the table.
(03:56):
But I do think as a manager in the postseason,
the gut feel is part of it, and you know
it has to come and play.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Managing differently in the postseason, do you do you manage
differently or is that let's fight the urge to manage differently.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Well, I think I think there's a little bit of
managing differently in the postseason on a few fronts because
you know there is no tomorrow sometimes, you know, especially
some in these Wildcard series too, Like, what is it?
Ninety percent of the teams that have won Game one
have gone on to win the Wildcard series. So I
think that, you know, if a pitcher's in trouble early,
you can't do what you might have done in the
(04:35):
in the regular season to save the bullpen. You got
to you gotta get them out. You got to get
to the pen sooner. I think you're going to see
more bunts and strategies in the postseason of get the
you know, getting the bunt down, putting pressure on getting
the guy over. Uh So, I think I think you
do have to manage a little differently in the postseason
because the stakes are a lot higher.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Of the four teams that lost yesterday, which one has
the best chance to win their series?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I still think the Yankees have a great shot to
win that series. I really, I really believe that, you know,
I think they you know, when you run into Crochet
and Chapman, you know, for seven and two thirds and
then one and a third, I mean, that is a
that's a tall order. They hadn't they had Chapman on
the ropes too, and the ninth couldn't figure it out
with basis load of no outs, but you know that's
a taller in Game one. I really feel like the
(05:22):
Yankees have a really good team. I think they still
have a chance to win that series.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
What do you remember about your first playoff game?
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Wow? You know what's a goo good? This is a
great this is a great point.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
I was just I was just saying this last week
on on MLB Network. My first real kind of playoff
game was Game one sixty three with the Reds and
the and the and the Mets. When we had the
playing game the playoff atmosphere was the first time I
ever felt that. And I remember Danny like it was
an adrenaline and energy I'd never felt. I'm twenty five
(05:55):
year old kid, and I remember thinking, I'm gonna go
win this game tonight. I'm gonna go I'm gonna really
go go this game, right, I'm a you know, it's
the kind of that football mentality which doesn't work in baseball.
I end up going zero for four, two punchouts, one
of the worst games in my life, right, And I
remember thinking to myself, you know, and as in the
game of baseball and in life, failures, feedback failures, information,
(06:17):
I was like, man, how do I take the failure
I got here.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Get me back to the postseason to experience it.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
And when I finally went back to the postseason in
six when I was with the Tigers and I, you know,
led the posts, led all hitters in hitting, and I
hit five hundred in the World Series. The only reason
I say that is because what I learned when I
was twenty five years old about you know, trying my
hardest and really being somebody different to you know, go
get this game with the adrenaline of the postseason being
(06:44):
on another level. It doesn't work. You got to be
able to slow down. You got to be able to
let the game come to you. And I think that's
why you do sees maybe a guy like Hunter Green
last night, maybe the adrenaline was a little too high.
Maybe that cost his pitches to be up out over
the plate more than they would be during the regular season.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
But you can't teach experience.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
How do you pitch to Otani?
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
When he's locked in like this, he's very very dangerous.
I mean, you know, for me, you got to be
very careful. I mean, i'd like to say, you know,
I'd like to say you go upper rail, but he's
proven he can hit that better.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Than anybody in the game.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Now too, you got to really mix and match with him.
I think you got to get him off the plate
a little bit. You got to, you know, get him in,
move his feet, and then you try and just try
and hit him with the kitchen sink.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Kershaw is I think Otani's pitching maybe Game three, but
we saw, you know, Kershaw the second half of the
season pitched unbelievable. What's it like or was it like
to face a Clayton Kershaw?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Well, you know, it's funny looking back at me, you know,
in my career because that was my last spring training
in two thousand and eight, was with with the Red Sox.
Scott's time Flies met seventeen years ago, and it was
my third bat at the game. We're in Vero Beach.
Joe Tory is the manager, with Larry bow the bench coach.
Tito's my manager with the Red Sox, and it's like
(08:09):
my third bat.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I'm coming after that out of the game.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
So on the on the mound pops a guy I
believe he was number ninety eight or eighty nine, and
I remember going to Dave magnant and my hitting coach going, hey, hey,
you got anything on this guy? He's like, nah, I
got me. He goes through his notes, got nothing. So
I go to Tito, hey you got anything on this guy?
He's like just some rookie off the backfield. They're trying
to get some work. And I'm like, all right, should
be easy.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Let me you know, you know.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
So I'm Danny. I'm like, all right, let me take it.
Let me take a look at the first pitch. See
what he's got, you know, maybe set out my eyes.
So I get in there, say how to the catch?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Here?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Look over, Tory gives me a nod. I get in there.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
You know this big left he's on the mound, number
ninety eight. So I set up taking a nice I'm
gonna take one.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Wam hits me with like ninety eight outside black. I'm like,
I am.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
I'm like, that's this kid from the Backfield's pretty good.
This guy's got some pretty good stuff. So I look
over Joe Tory and Joe Tory and Larry bow and
now laughing because I obviously they know they know this
kid better than than we know him on the Red
Sox side. So next pitch, Danny, he hits me with it.
This guy hits me with a curveball. I swear to
guy was behind me.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
I total buck Tony's buckle.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
I just Tony's pizza up wall and bam he hits
me with strike two, and I'm like wow, I'm like
that's this kid's this kid from the backfield, something special,
so believable. Like so next pitch he hits me with
like about ninety eight outside black.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
It's no doubt, strike three.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Like I just got used and abused by this young
eighteen year old kid ninety eight from the backfield.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
They call it ball. They called a ball just because
I think.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Gump was like, hey, we can't, we can't ring up
shaw Casey on three pitches from this guy number ninety
eight on the backfields.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
And Danny hits me. Next pitch, he hits me with
that curveball again. I almost I literally almost blew out
my acl. I was like what bam he hits me.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
And I look over everyone's laugh and I come back
to the dugout.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
And I go to Tito, go, man, you don't know
who that guy is. He goes, no, I'm just glad
I'm not you right now, But I go, yeah, me too.
It turns out that was Clayton Kershaw. I think I
was just big, you're ever face that he maybe looked
like a four year old kid, So.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Sean Casey, MLB Network analysts. You can see him on
MLB's postseason coverage and also check out his Mayor's Office podcast.
I opened the show talking about it used to be
I'd have a hammer or two in the postseason. And
you know, we've seen teams that had those two great
starters in a best of five, best of seven, you're
(10:24):
gonna see them four times. Scooball is one of those guys. Croche.
We saw that performance there. Schemes isn't going to be
in a playoff anytime soon. Verlander didn't make the playoffs,
you know, so you're starting to look around and go,
how many of these hammers are out there, and just
the importance of them, certainly in a three game series.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Well, I look at the Dodgers and I go, okay,
you got game one with Snell, you're gonna get Yamamoto
coming back Game two, and you've got Otani game three.
You know that that wasn't that rotation setting up all year.
If Snell was banged up, did well? Otani came back late,
but they they they couldn't have timed Otawni's you know,
his ascending into that starter with his last couple of starts.
(11:09):
I now think that's a that's a real three headed
monster right there. You talk about hammers. These are guys
that can absolutely control the game.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Now.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
The big thing with the Dodgers is can that you know,
can they can? They go pretty long because the bullpen's
you know, been a little banged up. But you're right
when you watch scooble pitch yesterday and you watch Crochet
even Freed you.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Know, kept him in the game with the Yankees.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
But these are guys that are, like, you really gotta
be on your A game. You gotta find a way
to manufacture against these guys because if they're on, it's
it's a tough go.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
How much should it factor in that cal Rawly was
the catcher on a Pennant winning team as far as
the MVP goes with Aaron.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Judge, it should definitely factor in.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
I mean, I think the biggest reason we're talking about
cal Rawley obviously, other than the sixty home runs which
is incredible. Is that he's a catcher, you know, because
at the end of the day, you know, to be
able to catch that many games, to handle the staff,
the preparation, pregame of what goes into that. We've never
seen a catcher do it, because you know, the legs
that are under you start to go in the second half.
(12:14):
The fact that he beat Mantles and he's also a
switch hitter. He beat Manos fifty four home runs as
a switch hitter. Really historic stuff. I mean historic stuff.
So you know, I really think that that cal Rawley.
That's why he's in this conversation for MVP. That's why
he might he might win. It is because he's a catcher.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Sounds like you're leaning towards Aaron Judge.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
You know what, I this is the one thing I
think about the MVP race in this generation. Back when
I was playing, guys would have incredible, incredible years, historic seasons.
But Barry Bonds was in the league, and then you
know a few years ago, guys would have historic seasons
and look how amazing this is. Yeah, but Shoe Hao
Tawny's in that league, in the American League. I feel
(12:57):
that way with Aaron Judge. I mean, Aaron Judge won
a batting title, hit hit over fifty home runs. Only
Jimmy Fox and Mickey Mannle have ever done that. Historic stuff.
He's one of four players that ever have four seasons
of fifty homers.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Historic stuff.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
He's hitting three point thirty in an age where no
one's hitting three hundred. Is that like three seventy years ago?
Historic stuff? So like I look at Aaron Judge's numbers.
His ops is over, you know, two hundred, greater than
cal Rally. There's just so many things is on base
percentage what he does every day, And for me, Danny,
I don't buy the whole average doesn't matter. You know
what batting average shows me. It shows me you're showing
(13:32):
up every day. It shows me I can trust you.
It shows me you're hitting good pitching. It shows me
you're hitting the closers and the number one starters. It
shows me that you're winning ball games for my team.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
I just look at Aaron Judge. I just feel like
cal Raly had a historic year. But Aaron Judge exists
in twenty twenty five, and he's a generational player that
we've never seen one that we've really never seen before.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
And for me, he's the MVP.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
What's the coolest thing in your office?
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Coolest thing in my office?
Speaker 8 (14:00):
I got a lot of cool things here in the office.
I have a picture over there of Marilyn Monroe and
Joe DiMaggio getting off a plane and there's two signed checks.
One of the Maggio he signed us to a school
in nineteen ninety eight and the Marilyn Monroe check signed
in like nineteen.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Fifty three for a dollar fifty to a friend of hers.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Are those Sports Emmys? The years that MLB Tonight beat
my show? Did you put those out? Those weren't out there?
Probably twenty minutes ago. They weren't out there.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Dude, I knew I was coming on. I was like,
I want to be sure Danny knows Emmys?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Damn you. That's like a bat flip there. Damn Oh.
You know one more thing. We were talking about great swings,
pretty swings. Why is it a right handed hitters? Never
we don't single out and go, boy, that guy's got
one of the prettiest swings in the game. It's always
going to be junior Rafael paul Meyer. I mean, there's
(15:00):
it's always the left handed hitter.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Why is that always the lefties? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
It just looks a lot sweeter left handed the right
he's look like they're always grinding, like, oh man, that
looks weird. But boy, it's a good, good swing hundred
pens like, oh what hell?
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Maybe he's a really good player, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Once again, this guy got thrown out from left field
on a base hit.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
And don't forget there's two new members in that Dylan
Moore and uh and uh Tommy Fam.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Thank you guys for being in that club.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How many guys you have gotten thrown out from left field?
At first, that's it three of us now in the
history of the game.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
It was me forever the history of the game. And
then Tommy Fam this year and Dylan Moore.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I'm keeping tabs. I'm keeping receipts on who's getting thrown
out and left because I was. I was in the
exclusive club.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Dandy, damn them. Keep the energy. Great to talk to you, buddy.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Great scene, man, I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That Sean Casey MLB network analysts. You can see him
throughout the postseason on MLB network studio shows and his podcast,
The Mayor's Office. It'll be nice if you had a
little more enthusiasm, a little more energy, you know.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Best thing he's done, best decision he's made in a
while is having that setup where he can stand.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh yeah, Mike. His mic setup is where you can't
see it on radio.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
But his mic setup where is where he's standing at
a desk with a camera.
Speaker 2 (16:17):

thanks for holding what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Hey Dan an above average ish six foot two eighty. Yeah,
I want to hit real prick on the set tithemn.
I want to throw in Ty Simpson. He's had eleven yards,
eleven touchdowns, zero interceptions and just meet Georgia with almost
(17:49):
three purpose yards and then three total touchdowns himself. And
also college football related, James Franklin to me has become
the college football John call Perry. He's putting them in
the NFL but not getting any championships. And just like

(18:09):
alumni is going to start getting pretty wend if he
makes another second, third round excellent.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, at least cal Perry won a title. But yeah,
I get what you're saying. All you need is one.
That's it. One and you can keep the job for
another ten years. Just win the one. Dan in Virginia. Hi, Dan,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (18:32):
Hey Dan, seventy fifth percentile? Thanks for taking my call.
I was calling.
Speaker 13 (18:36):
About word origin.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
So at this point in our culture, we all know
what a Karen is. I don't know where it came from.
I don't know where it started, but everybody knows what
a Karen is. So how long is it before a
Todd becomes a thing and people that don't even listen
to VP show know what a Todd is.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Well, we'd have to come up with the definition of
what is a todd?
Speaker 12 (19:00):
Dan oh driving in the left lane. It came to
me last left hour when somebody said they were struck
behind the left lane or they're just screaming at the windshield,
get out of my way. God?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
All right, well thank you Dan. Yes, seton.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
What we need to do is get a state like
what do they call the roadway people like transportation authority
to you know how they do those signs.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
That say like click it or ticket yeah whatever.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
We need some state in the Union to be the
first to put up on that thing. Don't be a Todd,
no camping in the left lane. And then it's over.
Then we're off and running. Don't be a Todd. The
DOT is it? Department of Transportation?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Thank you? All right? The passhole T shirt is still
available Danpatrick dot com. Today is the last day for
you to get that. Can we reach out to a
DP show friendly state and see if they would do
something like that? We could have fun and get a
picture of those mobile signs that electric signs. Don't be
(20:02):
a Todd? Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 14 (20:03):
Can we get a silhouette of Fritzy? Like you know
they have to stop sign with the silhouette. Can we
get one of Fritzy?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Paulie?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I think we can. I'm thinking I'm leaning towards Wisconsin
as our first call. I've always done very well Wisconsin.
They're very friendly to us to put some calls in.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
Can you imagine get a contest among the states, because
now I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Like, well, Iowa a better step up? Oh all right?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Who gets there first?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah? Oregon? Yeah? Hello, Yeah. I need somebody at the
DOT to come up with a sign those electronic signs.
Don't be a Todd, don't be a Todd. Don't camp
in the left, No camping in the left, no camping, Yes, Paulie,
imagine the.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Person that the dot in Iowa has got to run
this one up past their boss after this.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, maybe they have a sense of humor.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Might be one of those things where you ask for
forgiveness rather than informission.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You you beg for forgiveness.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Charlie, interesting sign on six't eighty four today.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, what's the origin of that? Oh, Dan Patrick show Todd.
He's always in the left lane. He won't pull over,
he won't move to the right lane if somebody needs
to get around him. Okay, it's just a one, one
time only thing. Yes, Tom, that would be.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Would be something that we have a Karen and the
read actually have a Todd or something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Wow, thank you Tom. Will in Michigan. Will, that would
be something. It would be Will in Michigan, I Will Morgan,
Dan morning, Will.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
Six four this morning.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let's pick up the energy here, pick up speed a
little bit.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
Come on, Al, come on after you have to correct
you after Wit.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
It's win. It is okay wit at all. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 13 (22:04):
I'm calling because uh I got married ten days ago,
a week ago Friday. I'm curious, have you ever been
to Mackinac Island Michigan the one two. Do you have
any advice for a newly would in the first month
of the marriage endeavora what's going wrong? Well, you know
(22:25):
nothing's gone wrong. I'm just curious. I love love just
like you do, Dan, and I'm curious, you know, how
do I make the most of this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
As you have whipped? Are you rethinking this.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Not in the slightest No, No, just looking for some
uh some some mentorship and some some fatherly guidance if
you don't mind. But you know, more importantly, I'm calling
this morning. I know the last time I called, I
I kind of bummed you out. I I called and
I let you know that you were one of the
best of all time and how I missed you when
(23:06):
you were gone. So I'm calling this morning. I'm just curious.
Who do you draw inspiration from in terms of sports personality?
And is there anybody else that you would kind of
give the nod to? For me, it'd be the Herd
Colin Cowherd. I think he's great. Anybody else you give
the nod to in terms of who you look up
to in the industry?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Was this a plant? We're gonna get around to you
saying something nice about Colin Cowherd. Yeah, I know you
look up to Colin. Also, yeah, who else would you
put on the list of people that we like?
Speaker 14 (23:38):
Yes, mam, Yeah, he asked you for marital advice, and
then he said, more importantly.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Why didn't you call the Herd? He can help you wit.
You got ten days and you need to help with
your marriage.
Speaker 14 (23:55):
Yeah, but more importantly, who do you look so?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Who do you look up to? I love the Herd?
Good glad you do. Colin does a wonderful job. He's
done it for a long time. Time to play the
sept MVP, Paul, give us the guidelines, the rationale with this.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It's sports ish. It's got to be related to sports dan,
anyone in sports on air, behind the scenes, owner, player,
who had the best month? Okay, most valuable? Who would
like to go first?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
We'll start with Todd.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I had written Josh Allen, then I changed it to
Jimmy Kimmel, But now we're going back to only sports.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I'm gonna no, no, no. I think it's everything in
it across the board.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Has to have a sports tentacle to it.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Oh, Historically I thought the whole point was an NFL
player similar to the Septment.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Oh for college. Okay, but all right, so NFL.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'll go with the undefeated Bills and Josh Allen if
we're going to go NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay, all right, Seaton, I'm gonna say Pooking the coua
pook in the Coup is having the best month.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Paul, I'm gonna go with the Bills, but I'm gonna
go running back James Cook new contract, four games, four
hundred yards, five touchdowns. Doing the math, I think he's
on pace for seventeen hundred yards. That's the way to
pay off your new contract. And if he can make
them have a threatening running game, that's that's a problem
for others.
Speaker 14 (25:23):
Marvin Baker Mayfield hmmm, yeah, why he.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Through the interception at the gold line against.
Speaker 15 (25:30):
The Eagles, but he lost to the who Still he
lost at home to the Eagles.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
He's having a great September so far, and.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
He going to September September Seattle this this Sunday.
Speaker 14 (25:41):
Correct, both throwback uniforms. Yes, he's about to go off.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yikes.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Eight touchdowns, one pick for Baker in the month.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, but it was a big pick, big pick two. Yeah.
All right, So September VP. I guess I'm supposed to
have one here, yeah thirty Yeah, yeah, I kind of
snuck up on me. Who would I save is my
(26:08):
sept MVP. I'm gonna give it to uh uh eleven?
Thank you, Todd. I don't know, has anybody been any
good in the NFL? Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
You know who'll be sneaky?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna give it to Matthew Stafford
Junior the third And he's still doing it. He's still
spinning it and uh big win and uh glad to
see that. So that's the septem VP. Man. That was great.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
By the way, you know who was alternate Septem VP.
Drake May quietly had a great month. Seven touchdowns, two picks.
The record is, you know, a couple fumbles away from
being three and one. Yeah, he's not playing a lot
of his counterparts from that draft class.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, but I don't know if you can go, eh,
just a couple of fumbles away like those are still
part of the growing process and mistakes. Now he's got
to play Buffalo. I believe in Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's why he can only win it this month with
Josh Allen next month, the end.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
May not well if he wins. If he wins in Buffalo,
He's already off to a great start in the month
of October.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Oh, Hi for October VP toob.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
VP Aaron and Fresno. Hi Aaron, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (27:21):
TP? Danetz, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 17 (27:24):
I don't know how I'm gonna follow up with, but
I'm going to try my best. I got a pull question,
but before I get into that, I got eight seconds
of soccer. Seaton Holler at your boy Champions League in Spain, Barcelona,
Paris Saint Jamon, West Coast noon kickoff, East Coast, three pm.
Speaker 12 (27:44):
Gonna be an.
Speaker 16 (27:45):
Epic thriller real quick.
Speaker 17 (27:46):
Who are the Bengals going to replace for their quarterback?
Derek Carr? Derek Carr?
Speaker 16 (27:53):
Who else we've got, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson or other?
Speaker 11 (27:56):
You guys are the best, Thank.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You, Thank you.
Speaker 18 (27:58):
Er.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't think it's Derek Carr because last time we
talked to him he's still rehaving his shoulder. I still
think Russell Wilson Junior. The third would be where I
would go. I don't know if Joe Flacco. I would
want to keep Flacco on the roster because Dylan Gabriel
is going to start, and that means Should or Sanders.
So you have two rookies. I don't like that at all. Yeah, Paul,
(28:21):
but don't you.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Think I, I guess respect for Joe Flacco. They should
release him.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
No, I need to do what's best for the organization.
I got two rookies.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
But they're saying to him, this kid who's never played
it down of football before gives us a better chance
to win. That's not true. It can't be true, not yet.
It might be a year from now.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Now. What I was told by my source is that
Flacco still gives the Browns a better the best chance
of winning, and that Dylan Gabriel would get the start,
and then followed that up by saying, I know one
quarterback who is not ready to start, and that Should
or Sanders. I can't have him as the backup like
I have to have Flacco there as the back. I
(29:00):
have to have a little bit of insurance. I can't
throw away the season like there's still hope there unless
there is, you know, managerial tanking where you go, you know,
just put Gabriel in there and we'll get sure to
her in there. Who cares we end up with three wins.
You still got a really good defense. Josh and Ohio.
Hi Josh, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Hey?
Speaker 18 (29:22):
Dam first time, long time seven twelves. The I drive
a truck them up by campon Ohio last Friday. The
overhead signs to say, you know, buckle up and all
that they had camp in the state Parks, not in
(29:43):
the left lane. I thought, Wow, somebody must be listening
to the show and didn't say fritzy. But it didn't
say Camp and Ohio State.
Speaker 16 (29:51):
Parks, not the left way.
Speaker 18 (29:52):
It was right by the Hall of.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
Fame there in Camp.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Wow, thank you, Josh asked Tod.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I had a truck right in front of me the
other day, just heading home, and it said arrow to
the left in the back of his truck, passing side,
and on the right it said suicide. It's a dangerous
to do that if you want to change lands on
the Island.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Julian in Phoenix, Hi, Julian.
Speaker 19 (30:16):
Hey, guys, appreciate you taking my call.
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Dan.
Speaker 17 (30:18):
I don't know if I've heard.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
You guys talk about it yet, but Benito playing the
halftime show.
Speaker 11 (30:23):
I'm pumped.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
I see people a little upset on social media just
because it's Spanish.
Speaker 19 (30:27):
I'm like, that sounds like a you problem.
Speaker 12 (30:29):
But I love the idea.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
I think it's gonna have crazy ratings.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
He's loved worldwide.
Speaker 19 (30:34):
I want to hear your thoughts, guys.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Good for him. I could not care less of a
halftime performer. It doesn't matter. If Taylor Swift could play,
and I'd be like, all right, good for her. I
I did a little more excited than that. I mean, okay,
I might going, oh my god, Taylor, good for her?
About time she caught him break Prince was the one
(30:59):
that I got to see that one, and it was
It was the best halftime performance I've ever seen. It
was wonderful. I didn't I but I wasn't that excited
about it. But then when it started to rain and
he's playing purple Rain, and it just hits you that
he is one of the greatest musicians of all time.
(31:20):
But you know, Springsteen played, and I'd love to see
an ode to country music. Get George Strait and Chris
Stapleton and you know, maybe do something like that. But
I could not care less. And if bad Bunny is
going to bring eyeballs, now, this is the Apple halftime show. Correct,
(31:41):
now it is Apple. Are they going to be selling
earbuds that will translate from Spanish to English. It feels
like there's a marketing strategy here, somewhere, marketing playing. But
bad Bunny is a big deal and good for him.
But I you know, you get people's not even from here. Well,
(32:02):
how many artists have we had who aren't from here?
You Two's not from here, cold Play's not from I
mean there's numerous artists. Rihanna, Rihanna is not from here.
Bad Bunny, great, new look, new sound. Now it's up
to jay Z's the one who is the head of
(32:24):
the halftime show. Wouldn't you love to have been there?
When jay Z says to the commissioner, Hey, I'm thinking
about Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, what is that? No Bad
Bunny the artist wade like a painter. No, no, no,
he's a musician. Your daughters might know. Yeah, I don't
know who bad Bunny is. Yeah, I want him to
(32:45):
be the halftime show. So we're gonna have a bad
Bunny Like do is he dress up like a bunny? No? No, no, yes.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
It feels like a solid time to remind people just
because you listed off that list of people cold Play
and uh whoever else that people from Puerto Rico are
US citizens, they are American. He actually very much is
from here. He actually is very much from the United States.
He is an American citizen. So he has nothing in
common with Coldplay or any of those other people that
(33:14):
you meant because he is from here.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
You know, people were like, yeah, he's not even from here.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah, yes, yes, yes, it seems like it's more the
announcement is more for the performer and their entourage and
they're so honored to be selected. For me in recent years,
that's the time to go to the bathroom at half
time figure o, where you're gonna eat in the second half,
roll into the commercials and all that kind of stuff,
and we're going to watch the game regardless.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
I just you know whatever. The money just hands on
the backs.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Because of your age, Like you don't know who bad
Bunny is. Your daughter may know or your son, and
they may care, but they want younger eyeballs on the game,
you know, non football fans. That's what they want. That's
why you get one hundred million, because you know, now
it's a party and you're watching. You gotta watch the game.
Everybody's watching the game. That's why the Olympics embraces women's
(33:59):
gymnastics and swimming and diving, and those are things that
the diehard fan is not interested in. You're getting a
different type of fan and that's why you get incredible
ratings because they show different sports that they're trying to
attract that different audience. And with the NFL, they want
a younger audience. They already have the older people. I
(34:20):
don't know if somebody's going to go, I'm not watching
bad Bunny. Okay, for everyone that isn't, you probably get
ten who are. And he's a big deal. And he
also dated a Kardashian, which that's not that difficult, but
still I think he dated to Kendall Is that right?
Kendall Jenner? He did, Yes, Kendall Jenner, Kardashian junior, the
(34:42):
third All right, but good for him, I mean he
sells out stadiums, yeah, Paulin.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
He was in Happy Gilmore too, right, Yes.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
He had a big role role. Now I did not
meet him in Happy Gilmore too. I did not meet him.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
How would you address him if someone walked up with ends?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
What up? Bad? Yeah? All right, say what up? Bebe
all right? A little bad bunny.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
You never know who knows.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't think he's going to know who I am.
But that's he's going to learn when he hears my
voice and he goes, WHOA, where'd that come from? It's
bad Danny?
Speaker 14 (35:18):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
They called me bat, they call me bad Danny? How
about we take a break? Should have taken a break
a few minutes earlier. Last call for phone calls? What

seen what he did at the ravine? Oh my guardians?
Speaker 4 (36:14):

one at Wrigley. Things got to a fever pitch last night,
So how did it come up?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Aces and Ot?

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Dodgers, Robin Orlando, Hi, Rob, welcome back.
Speaker 16 (37:06):
God. I hate to go there after that awesome Sports
Center Ts, But you know, this dot thing is a
home run. I've gotten in. I think we can make
something work. But first off, remember you can't spell dot
without too.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Yes, that's a fellow who gets it.
Speaker 16 (37:26):
So listen, I've got a buddy of mine with the
Tennessee Department of Transportation, and when I lived we did
a lot of work with this guy when I lived
up there years ago. He had a sign he put
up on my suggestion, use your blinking blinkers. I think
getting the times easy.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
All right, I'll leave it up to you, Rob, and
then you let us know. Todd what a legend. Can't
spell dot or it can't spell to D D without
dot Tod to D Department of Transportation. Uh, Frank in Phoenix,
(38:06):
I Frank, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (38:10):
Hey? Dad?
Speaker 19 (38:12):
I was listening earlier to JD in Washington.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (38:16):
We've said that he can't stand hearing Todd's voice after
his left Lane diatribe. Yeah, and I'm afraid that Dad
might be suffering from PTSD fortunately Post Todd stress disorder.
Speaker 17 (38:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Wow, I think we're all there. I haven't been diagnosed
like clinically, but I feel that, you know, I have
my I don't throw anything away. So I've got all
these T shirts at home and my wife's going through
them saying, hey, can we get rid of some of these?
And there was one that says, uh, something about that
(38:57):
I love you, but don't always like you. And she said,
is this about me? I go, no, it's about Todd.
She goes, what's the context. I said, no, it's simple.
I love him, but I don't always like him. So
it's pretty simple to understand. So I kept the t
shirt there.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
I appreciate that he did that. There's a connection there.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
How about this day in sports history, Paul got a
couple for you.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
In nineteen nineteen eight, players for the White Sox began
their conspiracy to lose the World Series through the major underdog,
the Cincinnati Reds. Eight man Out nineteen thirty three, Babe
Ruth made its final pitching appearance. He pitched all nine
innings scoreless, scheme hit the home run to win it,
and he stopped pitching and did some research. The Yankees
(39:41):
didn't want to pay him to be a pitcher and
a hitter, so they made him give up pitching. That's it.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
They said at the time. No, you're not going to
be Otawni. You're not going to do that. Babe Muhammad
Ali in nineteen seventy five, Stop Joe Frasier. That was
the thrilla in Manila. Steffi Groff in nineteen eighty eight
beat Gabrielle the Sabatini to win the women's singles gold
(40:07):
medal at the sol Olympics. First player to win the
Golden Slam. That would be all four Grand Slams and
the Olympics. I would say Gabrielle Sabatini won as well.
I don't know what she looks like now. Gabrielle Sabatini
was spectacular, all right, the fantastic aside by you, Yes,
(40:29):
that is that's breaking this down. Yes, that's where I
lean on my forty years of experience to break this down.
Gabby Sabatini in foeco. All right, let's go around the room.
What we learn on the program? Tod'd you learn anything today?
Speaker 4 (40:41):
MLB Newk's Shawn Casey expects to see more bunts an
other strategist to move runners over during this posts Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Get to hear from Sean Casey's one of the best.
Speaker 15 (40:49):
He is always love the energy. Marvin Netherlands. The tallest people, Oh,
the Dutch.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Are tall, Tod. What did I learn?
Speaker 7 (40:58):
Our friend Mark Lareth is old school. Bring those old
Bronco uniforms with the D on the side.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah. He was also fired up about overtime as well
some more ties if you missed anything danpatrick dot com.
Also last day to get the Passold T shirt Danpatrick
dot com. Have a great day, everybody. We'll talk to
you tomorrow
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Wednesday, we'll talk some baseball. Sean Casey, MLB
network analysts will stop by momentarily. Coming up Saturday, the
Premier League not Premier League, it's the Premier League live
on NBC, streaming on Peacock. Liverpool looks to continue its
hot start and tame Chelsea. That'll be coming up Saturday
on NBC and Peacock Final Hour. Have a new poll
(00:28):
question here. Your phone calls are welcome each seven to
seven to three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle a dpshow. You had the Dodgers with ten
runs and the other three games combined for eleven runs.
I think it still comes down to pitching. I know
that we talk about hitting all year long. We have
moved on from that starter, although Crochet and scooball were
(00:52):
wonderful yesterday, and it just feels like when you're in
a three game series, like the tension is there from
the first bat, the first pitch, and having one of
those pitchers that can go seven and a third seven
and two thirds and then you can give your bullpen
a little bit of a rest because you know there's
gonna be one game that's a bullpen game. But watching
(01:14):
last night, even Max Freed, I thought that they were
going to stay with him, and then all of a sudden,
I had to remind myself, Aaron Boone is going to
lean on analytics, and he had this to say about
taking his starting pitcher out last night, Aaron.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Maxfreed was dealing tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
What was the thought process behind taking him out to
go to the pen?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
There?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
With nobody on in one out in the seventh.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
They pressured him pretty good in the fourth, fifth, sixth.
You know, I had a couple base runners each inning,
so I felt like he kind of cruised through the
first few. And obviously he ends up pitching great, but
I felt like he had to work pretty hard and
I was gonna have the six b at the end,
but once we got the double, we finished with the
double play, I wanted to go out and get Duran
and then felt like we were lined up okay.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So they end up losing the game to the Red Sox,
and you know, in sebesta three, you gotta jump on quickly.
Show Hey Otani, second home run of the night sounded
like this on a one to one Otani. It's a
towering ball deep right field.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
He flips the bat bed watches it fly three quarters
of the way up the pavilion. Just a mammoth blast
for his second home run, and the Dodgers are pouring
it on.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
At Game one, curtit the Dodgers Radio Network, we bring
in Sean Casey, MLB Network analyst. You can see him
throughout the postseason on MLB Network the studio shows, also
MLB Tonight and his Mayor's Office podcast, Great to See
You Again. How much of the game comes down to
a gut feeling as opposed to the analytics, because it
(02:52):
feels like you can lean on analytics and blame analytics,
but when it's a gut feeling, it's on you.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Yeah, what's up, Danny? Yeah. I think there's definitely something
to that, you know.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
I think we go back to, you know, a few
years ago when when Snell was cruising along for the
Rays and then Cash comes and gets them because that's
what the analytics say.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
And I think that was the.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
First time we were all like, oh man, where's the
gut feel here of kind of watching what you're seeing
and going with that. I think the managers that are
that are in these games, you know, are allowed to
go on gut fields. And you heard Aaron Boone say,
I think that was a gut field for him. He
felt like there was some traffic on the bases with
Freed in four, five and six, and he felt like,
(03:36):
you know that that was the right time he was
going to go to the pen there anyhow, So I
feel like that was kind of a gut feel from
Boone as opposed to the analytics. But you know, Danny
being in these meetings, you know, being back in the
clubhouse in twenty twenty three with the Yankees and seeing
these meetings of how hey, if this matchup comes up,
the analytics say here, you know those are on the table.
(03:56):
But I do think as a manager in the postseason,
the gut feel is part of it, and you know
it has to come and play.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Managing differently in the postseason, do you do you manage
differently or is that let's fight the urge to manage differently.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Well, I think I think there's a little bit of
managing differently in the postseason on a few fronts because
you know there is no tomorrow sometimes, you know, especially
some in these Wildcard series too, Like, what is it?
Ninety percent of the teams that have won Game one
have gone on to win the Wildcard series. So I
think that, you know, if a pitcher's in trouble early,
you can't do what you might have done in the
(04:35):
in the regular season to save the bullpen. You got
to you gotta get them out. You got to get
to the pen sooner. I think you're going to see
more bunts and strategies in the postseason of get the
you know, getting the bunt down, putting pressure on getting
the guy over. Uh So, I think I think you
do have to manage a little differently in the postseason
because the stakes are a lot higher.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Of the four teams that lost yesterday, which one has
the best chance to win their series?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I still think the Yankees have a great shot to
win that series. I really, I really believe that, you know,
I think they you know, when you run into Crochet
and Chapman, you know, for seven and two thirds and
then one and a third, I mean, that is a
that's a tall order. They hadn't they had Chapman on
the ropes too, and the ninth couldn't figure it out
with basis load of no outs, but you know that's
a taller in Game one. I really feel like the
(05:22):
Yankees have a really good team. I think they still
have a chance to win that series.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
What do you remember about your first playoff game?
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Wow? You know what's a goo good? This is a
great this is a great point.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
I was just I was just saying this last week
on on MLB Network. My first real kind of playoff
game was Game one sixty three with the Reds and
the and the and the Mets. When we had the
playing game the playoff atmosphere was the first time I
ever felt that. And I remember Danny like it was
an adrenaline and energy I'd never felt. I'm twenty five
(05:55):
year old kid, and I remember thinking, I'm gonna go
win this game tonight. I'm gonna go I'm gonna really
go go this game, right, I'm a you know, it's
the kind of that football mentality which doesn't work in baseball.
I end up going zero for four, two punchouts, one
of the worst games in my life, right, And I
remember thinking to myself, you know, and as in the
game of baseball and in life, failures, feedback failures, information,
(06:17):
I was like, man, how do I take the failure
I got here.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Get me back to the postseason to experience it.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
And when I finally went back to the postseason in
six when I was with the Tigers and I, you know,
led the posts, led all hitters in hitting, and I
hit five hundred in the World Series. The only reason
I say that is because what I learned when I
was twenty five years old about you know, trying my
hardest and really being somebody different to you know, go
get this game with the adrenaline of the postseason being
(06:44):
on another level. It doesn't work. You got to be
able to slow down. You got to be able to
let the game come to you. And I think that's
why you do sees maybe a guy like Hunter Green
last night, maybe the adrenaline was a little too high.
Maybe that cost his pitches to be up out over
the plate more than they would be during the regular season.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
But you can't teach experience.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
How do you pitch to Otani?
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
When he's locked in like this, he's very very dangerous.
I mean, you know, for me, you got to be
very careful. I mean, i'd like to say, you know,
I'd like to say you go upper rail, but he's
proven he can hit that better.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Than anybody in the game.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Now too, you got to really mix and match with him.
I think you got to get him off the plate
a little bit. You got to, you know, get him in,
move his feet, and then you try and just try
and hit him with the kitchen sink.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Kershaw is I think Otani's pitching maybe Game three, but
we saw, you know, Kershaw the second half of the
season pitched unbelievable. What's it like or was it like
to face a Clayton Kershaw?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Well, you know, it's funny looking back at me, you know,
in my career because that was my last spring training
in two thousand and eight, was with with the Red Sox.
Scott's time Flies met seventeen years ago, and it was
my third bat at the game. We're in Vero Beach.
Joe Tory is the manager, with Larry bow the bench coach.
Tito's my manager with the Red Sox, and it's like
(08:09):
my third bat.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I'm coming after that out of the game.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
So on the on the mound pops a guy I
believe he was number ninety eight or eighty nine, and
I remember going to Dave magnant and my hitting coach going, hey, hey,
you got anything on this guy? He's like, nah, I
got me. He goes through his notes, got nothing. So
I go to Tito, hey you got anything on this guy?
He's like just some rookie off the backfield. They're trying
to get some work. And I'm like, all right, should
be easy.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Let me you know, you know.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
So I'm Danny. I'm like, all right, let me take it.
Let me take a look at the first pitch. See
what he's got, you know, maybe set out my eyes.
So I get in there, say how to the catch?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Here?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Look over, Tory gives me a nod. I get in there.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
You know this big left he's on the mound, number
ninety eight. So I set up taking a nice I'm
gonna take one.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Wam hits me with like ninety eight outside black. I'm like,
I am.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
I'm like, that's this kid from the Backfield's pretty good.
This guy's got some pretty good stuff. So I look
over Joe Tory and Joe Tory and Larry bow and
now laughing because I obviously they know they know this
kid better than than we know him on the Red
Sox side. So next pitch, Danny, he hits me with it.
This guy hits me with a curveball. I swear to
guy was behind me.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
I total buck Tony's buckle.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
I just Tony's pizza up wall and bam he hits
me with strike two, and I'm like wow, I'm like
that's this kid's this kid from the backfield, something special,
so believable. Like so next pitch he hits me with
like about ninety eight outside black.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
It's no doubt, strike three.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Like I just got used and abused by this young
eighteen year old kid ninety eight from the backfield.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
They call it ball. They called a ball just because
I think.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Gump was like, hey, we can't, we can't ring up
shaw Casey on three pitches from this guy number ninety
eight on the backfields.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
And Danny hits me. Next pitch, he hits me with
that curveball again. I almost I literally almost blew out
my acl. I was like what bam he hits me.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
And I look over everyone's laugh and I come back
to the dugout.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
And I go to Tito, go, man, you don't know
who that guy is. He goes, no, I'm just glad
I'm not you right now, But I go, yeah, me too.
It turns out that was Clayton Kershaw. I think I
was just big, you're ever face that he maybe looked
like a four year old kid, So.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Sean Casey, MLB Network analysts. You can see him on
MLB's postseason coverage and also check out his Mayor's Office podcast.
I opened the show talking about it used to be
I'd have a hammer or two in the postseason. And
you know, we've seen teams that had those two great
starters in a best of five, best of seven, you're
(10:24):
gonna see them four times. Scooball is one of those guys. Croche.
We saw that performance there. Schemes isn't going to be
in a playoff anytime soon. Verlander didn't make the playoffs,
you know, so you're starting to look around and go,
how many of these hammers are out there, and just
the importance of them, certainly in a three game series.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Well, I look at the Dodgers and I go, okay,
you got game one with Snell, you're gonna get Yamamoto
coming back Game two, and you've got Otani game three.
You know that that wasn't that rotation setting up all year.
If Snell was banged up, did well? Otani came back late,
but they they they couldn't have timed Otawni's you know,
his ascending into that starter with his last couple of starts.
(11:09):
I now think that's a that's a real three headed
monster right there. You talk about hammers. These are guys
that can absolutely control the game.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Now.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
The big thing with the Dodgers is can that you know,
can they can? They go pretty long because the bullpen's
you know, been a little banged up. But you're right
when you watch scooble pitch yesterday and you watch Crochet
even Freed you.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Know, kept him in the game with the Yankees.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
But these are guys that are, like, you really gotta
be on your A game. You gotta find a way
to manufacture against these guys because if they're on, it's
it's a tough go.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
How much should it factor in that cal Rawly was
the catcher on a Pennant winning team as far as
the MVP goes with Aaron.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Judge, it should definitely factor in.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
I mean, I think the biggest reason we're talking about
cal Rawley obviously, other than the sixty home runs which
is incredible. Is that he's a catcher, you know, because
at the end of the day, you know, to be
able to catch that many games, to handle the staff,
the preparation, pregame of what goes into that. We've never
seen a catcher do it, because you know, the legs
that are under you start to go in the second half.
(12:14):
The fact that he beat Mantles and he's also a
switch hitter. He beat Manos fifty four home runs as
a switch hitter. Really historic stuff. I mean historic stuff.
So you know, I really think that that cal Rawley.
That's why he's in this conversation for MVP. That's why
he might he might win. It is because he's a catcher.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Sounds like you're leaning towards Aaron Judge.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
You know what, I this is the one thing I
think about the MVP race in this generation. Back when
I was playing, guys would have incredible, incredible years, historic seasons.
But Barry Bonds was in the league, and then you
know a few years ago, guys would have historic seasons
and look how amazing this is. Yeah, but Shoe Hao
Tawny's in that league, in the American League. I feel
(12:57):
that way with Aaron Judge. I mean, Aaron Judge won
a batting title, hit hit over fifty home runs. Only
Jimmy Fox and Mickey Mannle have ever done that. Historic stuff.
He's one of four players that ever have four seasons
of fifty homers.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Historic stuff.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
He's hitting three point thirty in an age where no
one's hitting three hundred. Is that like three seventy years ago?
Historic stuff? So like I look at Aaron Judge's numbers.
His ops is over, you know, two hundred, greater than
cal Rally. There's just so many things is on base
percentage what he does every day, And for me, Danny,
I don't buy the whole average doesn't matter. You know
what batting average shows me. It shows me you're showing
(13:32):
up every day. It shows me I can trust you.
It shows me you're hitting good pitching. It shows me
you're hitting the closers and the number one starters. It
shows me that you're winning ball games for my team.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
I just look at Aaron Judge. I just feel like
cal Raly had a historic year. But Aaron Judge exists
in twenty twenty five, and he's a generational player that
we've never seen one that we've really never seen before.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
And for me, he's the MVP.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
What's the coolest thing in your office?
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Coolest thing in my office?
Speaker 8 (14:00):
I got a lot of cool things here in the office.
I have a picture over there of Marilyn Monroe and
Joe DiMaggio getting off a plane and there's two signed checks.
One of the Maggio he signed us to a school
in nineteen ninety eight and the Marilyn Monroe check signed
in like nineteen.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Fifty three for a dollar fifty to a friend of hers.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Are those Sports Emmys? The years that MLB Tonight beat
my show? Did you put those out? Those weren't out there?
Probably twenty minutes ago. They weren't out there.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Dude, I knew I was coming on. I was like,
I want to be sure Danny knows Emmys?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Damn you. That's like a bat flip there. Damn Oh.
You know one more thing. We were talking about great swings,
pretty swings. Why is it a right handed hitters? Never
we don't single out and go, boy, that guy's got
one of the prettiest swings in the game. It's always
going to be junior Rafael paul Meyer. I mean, there's
(15:00):
it's always the left handed hitter.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Why is that always the lefties? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
It just looks a lot sweeter left handed the right
he's look like they're always grinding, like, oh man, that
looks weird. But boy, it's a good, good swing hundred
pens like, oh what hell?
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Maybe he's a really good player, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Once again, this guy got thrown out from left field
on a base hit.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
And don't forget there's two new members in that Dylan
Moore and uh and uh Tommy Fam.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Thank you guys for being in that club.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How many guys you have gotten thrown out from left field?
At first, that's it three of us now in the
history of the game.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
It was me forever the history of the game. And
then Tommy Fam this year and Dylan Moore.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I'm keeping tabs. I'm keeping receipts on who's getting thrown
out and left because I was. I was in the
exclusive club.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Dandy, damn them. Keep the energy. Great to talk to you, buddy.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Great scene, man, I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That Sean Casey MLB network analysts. You can see him
throughout the postseason on MLB network studio shows and his podcast,
The Mayor's Office. It'll be nice if you had a
little more enthusiasm, a little more energy, you know.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Best thing he's done, best decision he's made in a
while is having that setup where he can stand.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh yeah, Mike. His mic setup is where you can't
see it on radio.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
But his mic setup where is where he's standing at
a desk with a camera.

thanks for holding what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Hey Dan an above average ish six foot two eighty. Yeah,
I want to hit real prick on the set tithemn.
I want to throw in Ty Simpson. He's had eleven yards,
eleven touchdowns, zero interceptions and just meet Georgia with almost
(17:49):
three purpose yards and then three total touchdowns himself. And
also college football related, James Franklin to me has become
the college football John call Perry. He's putting them in
the NFL but not getting any championships. And just like
in Kansas, I feel like the booster, the fans, the
(18:09):
alumni is going to start getting pretty wend if he
makes another second, third round excellent.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, at least cal Perry won a title. But yeah,
I get what you're saying. All you need is one.
That's it. One and you can keep the job for
another ten years. Just win the one. Dan in Virginia. Hi, Dan,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (18:32):
Hey Dan, seventy fifth percentile? Thanks for taking my call.
I was calling.
Speaker 13 (18:36):
About word origin.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
So at this point in our culture, we all know
what a Karen is. I don't know where it came from.
I don't know where it started, but everybody knows what
a Karen is. So how long is it before a
Todd becomes a thing and people that don't even listen
to VP show know what a Todd is.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Well, we'd have to come up with the definition of
what is a todd?
Speaker 12 (19:00):
Dan oh driving in the left lane. It came to
me last left hour when somebody said they were struck
behind the left lane or they're just screaming at the windshield,
get out of my way. God?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
All right, well thank you Dan. Yes, seton.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
What we need to do is get a state like
what do they call the roadway people like transportation authority
to you know how they do those signs.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
That say like click it or ticket yeah whatever.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
We need some state in the Union to be the
first to put up on that thing. Don't be a Todd,
no camping in the left lane. And then it's over.
Then we're off and running. Don't be a Todd. The
DOT is it? Department of Transportation?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Thank you? All right? The passhole T shirt is still
available Danpatrick dot com. Today is the last day for
you to get that. Can we reach out to a
DP show friendly state and see if they would do
something like that? We could have fun and get a
picture of those mobile signs that electric signs. Don't be
(20:02):
a Todd? Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 14 (20:03):
Can we get a silhouette of Fritzy? Like you know
they have to stop sign with the silhouette. Can we
get one of Fritzy?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Paulie?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I think we can. I'm thinking I'm leaning towards Wisconsin
as our first call. I've always done very well Wisconsin.
They're very friendly to us to put some calls in.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
Can you imagine get a contest among the states, because
now I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Like, well, Iowa a better step up? Oh all right?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Who gets there first?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah? Oregon? Yeah? Hello, Yeah. I need somebody at the
DOT to come up with a sign those electronic signs.
Don't be a Todd, don't be a Todd. Don't camp
in the left, No camping in the left, no camping, Yes, Paulie,
imagine the.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Person that the dot in Iowa has got to run
this one up past their boss after this.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, maybe they have a sense of humor.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Might be one of those things where you ask for
forgiveness rather than informission.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You you beg for forgiveness.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Charlie, interesting sign on six't eighty four today.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, what's the origin of that? Oh, Dan Patrick show Todd.
He's always in the left lane. He won't pull over,
he won't move to the right lane if somebody needs
to get around him. Okay, it's just a one, one
time only thing. Yes, Tom, that would be.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Would be something that we have a Karen and the
read actually have a Todd or something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Wow, thank you Tom. Will in Michigan. Will, that would
be something. It would be Will in Michigan, I Will Morgan,
Dan morning, Will.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
Six four this morning.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let's pick up the energy here, pick up speed a
little bit.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
Come on, Al, come on after you have to correct
you after Wit.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
It's win. It is okay wit at all. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 13 (22:04):
I'm calling because uh I got married ten days ago,
a week ago Friday. I'm curious, have you ever been
to Mackinac Island Michigan the one two. Do you have
any advice for a newly would in the first month
of the marriage endeavora what's going wrong? Well, you know
(22:25):
nothing's gone wrong. I'm just curious. I love love just
like you do, Dan, and I'm curious, you know, how
do I make the most of this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
As you have whipped? Are you rethinking this.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Not in the slightest No, No, just looking for some
uh some some mentorship and some some fatherly guidance if
you don't mind. But you know, more importantly, I'm calling
this morning. I know the last time I called, I
I kind of bummed you out. I I called and
I let you know that you were one of the
best of all time and how I missed you when
(23:06):
you were gone. So I'm calling this morning. I'm just curious.
Who do you draw inspiration from in terms of sports personality?
And is there anybody else that you would kind of
give the nod to? For me, it'd be the Herd
Colin Cowherd. I think he's great. Anybody else you give
the nod to in terms of who you look up
to in the industry?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Was this a plant? We're gonna get around to you
saying something nice about Colin Cowherd. Yeah, I know you
look up to Colin. Also, yeah, who else would you
put on the list of people that we like?
Speaker 14 (23:38):
Yes, mam, Yeah, he asked you for marital advice, and
then he said, more importantly.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Why didn't you call the Herd? He can help you wit.
You got ten days and you need to help with
your marriage.
Speaker 14 (23:55):
Yeah, but more importantly, who do you look so?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Who do you look up to? I love the Herd?
Good glad you do. Colin does a wonderful job. He's
done it for a long time. Time to play the
sept MVP, Paul, give us the guidelines, the rationale with this.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It's sports ish. It's got to be related to sports dan,
anyone in sports on air, behind the scenes, owner, player,
who had the best month? Okay, most valuable? Who would
like to go first?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
We'll start with Todd.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I had written Josh Allen, then I changed it to
Jimmy Kimmel, But now we're going back to only sports.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I'm gonna no, no, no. I think it's everything in
it across the board.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Has to have a sports tentacle to it.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Oh, Historically I thought the whole point was an NFL
player similar to the Septment.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Oh for college. Okay, but all right, so NFL.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'll go with the undefeated Bills and Josh Allen if
we're going to go NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay, all right, Seaton, I'm gonna say Pooking the coua
pook in the Coup is having the best month.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Paul, I'm gonna go with the Bills, but I'm gonna
go running back James Cook new contract, four games, four
hundred yards, five touchdowns. Doing the math, I think he's
on pace for seventeen hundred yards. That's the way to
pay off your new contract. And if he can make
them have a threatening running game, that's that's a problem
for others.
Speaker 14 (25:23):
Marvin Baker Mayfield hmmm, yeah, why he.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Through the interception at the gold line against.
Speaker 15 (25:30):
The Eagles, but he lost to the who Still he
lost at home to the Eagles.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
He's having a great September so far, and.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
He going to September September Seattle this this Sunday.
Speaker 14 (25:41):
Correct, both throwback uniforms. Yes, he's about to go off.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yikes.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Eight touchdowns, one pick for Baker in the month.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, but it was a big pick, big pick two. Yeah.
All right, So September VP. I guess I'm supposed to
have one here, yeah thirty Yeah, yeah, I kind of
snuck up on me. Who would I save is my
(26:08):
sept MVP. I'm gonna give it to uh uh eleven?
Thank you, Todd. I don't know, has anybody been any
good in the NFL? Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
You know who'll be sneaky?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna give it to Matthew Stafford
Junior the third And he's still doing it. He's still
spinning it and uh big win and uh glad to
see that. So that's the septem VP. Man. That was great.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
By the way, you know who was alternate Septem VP.
Drake May quietly had a great month. Seven touchdowns, two picks.
The record is, you know, a couple fumbles away from
being three and one. Yeah, he's not playing a lot
of his counterparts from that draft class.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, but I don't know if you can go, eh,
just a couple of fumbles away like those are still
part of the growing process and mistakes. Now he's got
to play Buffalo. I believe in Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's why he can only win it this month with
Josh Allen next month, the end.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
May not well if he wins. If he wins in Buffalo,
He's already off to a great start in the month
of October.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Oh, Hi for October VP toob.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
VP Aaron and Fresno. Hi Aaron, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (27:21):
TP? Danetz, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 17 (27:24):
I don't know how I'm gonna follow up with, but
I'm going to try my best. I got a pull question,
but before I get into that, I got eight seconds
of soccer. Seaton Holler at your boy Champions League in Spain, Barcelona,
Paris Saint Jamon, West Coast noon kickoff, East Coast, three pm.
Speaker 12 (27:44):
Gonna be an.
Speaker 16 (27:45):
Epic thriller real quick.
Speaker 17 (27:46):
Who are the Bengals going to replace for their quarterback?
Derek Carr? Derek Carr?
Speaker 16 (27:53):
Who else we've got, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson or other?
Speaker 11 (27:56):
You guys are the best, Thank.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You, Thank you.
Speaker 18 (27:58):
Er.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't think it's Derek Carr because last time we
talked to him he's still rehaving his shoulder. I still
think Russell Wilson Junior. The third would be where I
would go. I don't know if Joe Flacco. I would
want to keep Flacco on the roster because Dylan Gabriel
is going to start, and that means Should or Sanders.
So you have two rookies. I don't like that at all. Yeah, Paul,
(28:21):
but don't you.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Think I, I guess respect for Joe Flacco. They should
release him.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
No, I need to do what's best for the organization.
I got two rookies.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
But they're saying to him, this kid who's never played
it down of football before gives us a better chance
to win. That's not true. It can't be true, not yet.
It might be a year from now.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Now. What I was told by my source is that
Flacco still gives the Browns a better the best chance
of winning, and that Dylan Gabriel would get the start,
and then followed that up by saying, I know one
quarterback who is not ready to start, and that Should
or Sanders. I can't have him as the backup like
I have to have Flacco there as the back. I
(29:00):
have to have a little bit of insurance. I can't
throw away the season like there's still hope there unless
there is, you know, managerial tanking where you go, you know,
just put Gabriel in there and we'll get sure to
her in there. Who cares we end up with three wins.
You still got a really good defense. Josh and Ohio.
Hi Josh, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Hey?
Speaker 18 (29:22):
Dam first time, long time seven twelves. The I drive
a truck them up by campon Ohio last Friday. The
overhead signs to say, you know, buckle up and all
that they had camp in the state Parks, not in
(29:43):
the left lane. I thought, Wow, somebody must be listening
to the show and didn't say fritzy. But it didn't
say Camp and Ohio State.
Speaker 16 (29:51):
Parks, not the left way.
Speaker 18 (29:52):
It was right by the Hall of.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
Fame there in Camp.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Wow, thank you, Josh asked Tod.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I had a truck right in front of me the
other day, just heading home, and it said arrow to
the left in the back of his truck, passing side,
and on the right it said suicide. It's a dangerous
to do that if you want to change lands on
the Island.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Julian in Phoenix, Hi, Julian.
Speaker 19 (30:16):
Hey, guys, appreciate you taking my call.
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Dan.
Speaker 17 (30:18):
I don't know if I've heard.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
You guys talk about it yet, but Benito playing the
halftime show.
Speaker 11 (30:23):
I'm pumped.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
I see people a little upset on social media just
because it's Spanish.
Speaker 19 (30:27):
I'm like, that sounds like a you problem.
Speaker 12 (30:29):
But I love the idea.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
I think it's gonna have crazy ratings.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
He's loved worldwide.
Speaker 19 (30:34):
I want to hear your thoughts, guys.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Good for him. I could not care less of a
halftime performer. It doesn't matter. If Taylor Swift could play,
and I'd be like, all right, good for her. I
I did a little more excited than that. I mean, okay,
I might going, oh my god, Taylor, good for her?
About time she caught him break Prince was the one
(30:59):
that I got to see that one, and it was
It was the best halftime performance I've ever seen. It
was wonderful. I didn't I but I wasn't that excited
about it. But then when it started to rain and
he's playing purple Rain, and it just hits you that
he is one of the greatest musicians of all time.
(31:20):
But you know, Springsteen played, and I'd love to see
an ode to country music. Get George Strait and Chris
Stapleton and you know, maybe do something like that. But
I could not care less. And if bad Bunny is
going to bring eyeballs, now, this is the Apple halftime show. Correct,
(31:41):
now it is Apple. Are they going to be selling
earbuds that will translate from Spanish to English. It feels
like there's a marketing strategy here, somewhere, marketing playing. But
bad Bunny is a big deal and good for him.
But I you know, you get people's not even from here. Well,
(32:02):
how many artists have we had who aren't from here?
You Two's not from here, cold Play's not from I
mean there's numerous artists. Rihanna, Rihanna is not from here.
Bad Bunny, great, new look, new sound. Now it's up
to jay Z's the one who is the head of
(32:24):
the halftime show. Wouldn't you love to have been there?
When jay Z says to the commissioner, Hey, I'm thinking
about Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, what is that? No Bad
Bunny the artist wade like a painter. No, no, no,
he's a musician. Your daughters might know. Yeah, I don't
know who bad Bunny is. Yeah, I want him to
(32:45):
be the halftime show. So we're gonna have a bad
Bunny Like do is he dress up like a bunny? No? No, no, yes.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
It feels like a solid time to remind people just
because you listed off that list of people cold Play
and uh whoever else that people from Puerto Rico are
US citizens, they are American. He actually very much is
from here. He actually is very much from the United States.
He is an American citizen. So he has nothing in
common with Coldplay or any of those other people that
(33:14):
you meant because he is from here.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
You know, people were like, yeah, he's not even from here.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah, yes, yes, yes, it seems like it's more the
announcement is more for the performer and their entourage and
they're so honored to be selected. For me in recent years,
that's the time to go to the bathroom at half
time figure o, where you're gonna eat in the second half,
roll into the commercials and all that kind of stuff,
and we're going to watch the game regardless.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
I just you know whatever. The money just hands on
the backs.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Because of your age, Like you don't know who bad
Bunny is. Your daughter may know or your son, and
they may care, but they want younger eyeballs on the game,
you know, non football fans. That's what they want. That's
why you get one hundred million, because you know, now
it's a party and you're watching. You gotta watch the game.
Everybody's watching the game. That's why the Olympics embraces women's
(33:59):
gymnastics and swimming and diving, and those are things that
the diehard fan is not interested in. You're getting a
different type of fan and that's why you get incredible
ratings because they show different sports that they're trying to
attract that different audience. And with the NFL, they want
a younger audience. They already have the older people. I
(34:20):
don't know if somebody's going to go, I'm not watching
bad Bunny. Okay, for everyone that isn't, you probably get
ten who are. And he's a big deal. And he
also dated a Kardashian, which that's not that difficult, but
still I think he dated to Kendall Is that right?
Kendall Jenner? He did, Yes, Kendall Jenner, Kardashian junior, the
(34:42):
third All right, but good for him, I mean he
sells out stadiums, yeah, Paulin.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
He was in Happy Gilmore too, right, Yes.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
He had a big role role. Now I did not
meet him in Happy Gilmore too. I did not meet him.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
How would you address him if someone walked up with ends?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
What up? Bad? Yeah? All right, say what up? Bebe
all right? A little bad bunny.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
You never know who knows.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't think he's going to know who I am.
But that's he's going to learn when he hears my
voice and he goes, WHOA, where'd that come from? It's
bad Danny?
Speaker 14 (35:18):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
They called me bat, they call me bad Danny? How

something work. But first off, remember you can't spell dot
without too.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Yes, that's a fellow who gets it.
Speaker 16 (37:26):
So listen, I've got a buddy of mine with the
Tennessee Department of Transportation, and when I lived we did
a lot of work with this guy when I lived
up there years ago. He had a sign he put
up on my suggestion, use your blinking blinkers. I think
getting the times easy.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
All right, I'll leave it up to you, Rob, and
then you let us know. Todd what a legend. Can't
spell dot or it can't spell to D D without
dot Tod to D Department of Transportation. Uh, Frank in Phoenix,
(38:06):
I Frank, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (38:10):
Hey? Dad?
Speaker 19 (38:12):
I was listening earlier to JD in Washington.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (38:16):
We've said that he can't stand hearing Todd's voice after
his left Lane diatribe. Yeah, and I'm afraid that Dad
might be suffering from PTSD fortunately Post Todd stress disorder.
Speaker 17 (38:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Wow, I think we're all there. I haven't been diagnosed
like clinically, but I feel that, you know, I have
my I don't throw anything away. So I've got all
these T shirts at home and my wife's going through
them saying, hey, can we get rid of some of these?
And there was one that says, uh, something about that
(38:57):
I love you, but don't always like you. And she said,
is this about me? I go, no, it's about Todd.
She goes, what's the context. I said, no, it's simple.
I love him, but I don't always like him. So
it's pretty simple to understand. So I kept the t
shirt there.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
I appreciate that he did that. There's a connection there.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
How about this day in sports history, Paul got a
couple for you.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
In nineteen nineteen eight, players for the White Sox began
their conspiracy to lose the World Series through the major underdog,
the Cincinnati Reds. Eight man Out nineteen thirty three, Babe
Ruth made its final pitching appearance. He pitched all nine
innings scoreless, scheme hit the home run to win it,
and he stopped pitching and did some research. The Yankees
(39:41):
didn't want to pay him to be a pitcher and
a hitter, so they made him give up pitching. That's it.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
They said at the time. No, you're not going to
be Otawni. You're not going to do that. Babe Muhammad
Ali in nineteen seventy five, Stop Joe Frasier. That was
the thrilla in Manila. Steffi Groff in nineteen eighty eight
beat Gabrielle the Sabatini to win the women's singles gold
(40:07):
medal at the sol Olympics. First player to win the
Golden Slam. That would be all four Grand Slams and
the Olympics. I would say Gabrielle Sabatini won as well.
I don't know what she looks like now. Gabrielle Sabatini
was spectacular, all right, the fantastic aside by you, Yes,
(40:29):
that is that's breaking this down. Yes, that's where I
lean on my forty years of experience to break this down.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
