Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Thursday, It's gonna be busy.

A little bit of baseball last night Padre swept the Dodgers.
They roughed up Clayton Kershaw, and he gave up seven
runs in three and two thirds. He also didn't have
a strikeout. That ends a streak of four hundred and
twenty three regular season starts with at least one strikeout.

(00:46):
That is the longest since the mound was moved to
its current distance of eight in eighteen ninety three. Who
stand a day?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Stanta day, stand outa Dayta day.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
This is the stat of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Stat of the Day brought to you bon Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. I
was wondering, I think the mound used to be like
forty five feet away, and then it went to fifty
five feet. At what point did they go, let's go
to sixty feet six inches, not sixty or sixty one.

(01:28):
It's sixty feet six inches. That's where it is now.
Just kind of I don't know. I was surprised about
that when I was doing some research last night.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yes, Paul, I've got eighteen ninety three.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yes, that's when they moved it. But before that, why
sixty feet six inches? Why not just sixty feet or
sixty feet four inches? Hut just seemed a little random
to me, after going from I think forty five to
fifty five to sixty feet six inches.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yes, according to Baseball Reference, their best guess on this
or best report on this, is that the plan was
move it to uh, from fifty nine feet I'm sorry,
from fifty four feet to sixty feet. That's what happened
in eighteen ninety three. The groundskeeper was given the plans,
and he misread them, and he made them sixty feet
six inches. Everyone thought he did the job perfectly, and

(02:16):
no one checked it. All the other ballparks followed suit.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Okay, a mistake made of the sure mine on Katie
Ledecki dominated again, USA Hoops dropping South sou Dan NFL
Hall of Fame game tonight, it'll be the Texans versus
the Bears, and the Texans for entertainment purposes are favored
by one according to DraftKings eight seven to seven to three.

DP show. We'll talk to Tony Dungee coming up on loan
from Football Night in America. Poll question for the final
hour the program is going to be what seat O'Connor see?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
We got a couple up there right now. This one
was from Todd. It's sort of an offshoot of another
poll question we had. I expect to be more excited
about the NFL playoffs or the college football playoff. Okay,
right now that's at fifty six percent. NFL Playoff.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I wonder if that's.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Just because I haven't gotten into it yet. Yes, I
think it's the unknown of college football. It sounds great,
and I think I think it's going to be great.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah. I think it'll play out, play out great. Absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
We also had up there, what's the best Matt Damon movie?
Talented Mister Ripley, Goodwill, Hunting the Martian or Bourne Identity.
Three of those are kind of ranked as when you
look at a lot of lists as top three movies.
One of them is the Born Identity. Yes, it's the
best one right now. Goodwill Hunting is fifty one percent

(03:47):
of the That is a great one.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I have no I can't argue with that. I think
people are sleeping on the talented mister Ripley. That was
a pretty quol. I agree, I agree, very good. What
was it, Dicky Dicky Greenleaf? Dicky Greenleaf? Weirdly that Tony
Dungey Hall of Famer Football Night in America analyst kind
enough to join us here. Let me start first of all,
good morning.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
Hey Dan, good morning.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Do you understand the new kickoff rule?

Speaker 7 (04:13):
I really don't.

Speaker 8 (04:14):
And you're taking it from a guy who kicked off
to Devin Hester, So we have to start with that.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Okay, Sion, And I was going to ask you about
that with Devin Hester. How much credit do you take
for Devin Hester going into the Hall of Fame tone.

Speaker 8 (04:32):
I'm going to congratulate him, and I'm gonna expect to
get a little pat on the back because kicking off
to him in the super Bowl where he could do
something nobody else in the history of football has done.

Speaker 7 (04:41):
I think that helped him a little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
But you said all week long, you weren't kicking off
to Devin Hesler.

Speaker 8 (04:46):
Two weeks then we practiced it and we had ad
him kicking the balls everywhere. We're punning out of bounds.
We're not gonna let this guy touch the ball. And
then the Friday before the game, our chaplain talks about
David and Goliath, and I start thinking, am I afraid?
Am I afraid of like the Israelites were of? No,
We're gonna kick right the Devin Hester, just like David did.

(05:09):
I asked the chaplain after the game, what was I thinking?

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Have you talked to Devin Hester about?

Speaker 9 (05:15):
Then?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Just in passing and joking, That's exactly what he was
doing on the football field that night, just passing. You
got him a gold jacket on this. But the kickoff,
I'm not quite sure what it is, but I am
interested to watch it tonight. I'm just not sure exactly
what the strategies are going to be.

Speaker 8 (05:38):
Yeah, I don't know either, but I do know this
as a former coach, I would look at this in
the preseason and say, you know, what are my chances
of kicking off and stopping them inside the thirty yard
I don't think it's very good from what I can tell,
So why would I take the chance of giving a
Devin Hester, a Cordial Patterson a chance in the open
field to go work. I think you're going to see

(06:00):
a lot more touchbacks than people think.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, but they're trying to encourage kind of some activity here.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
Yes, yes, I think they need to move that starting
point if it is a touchback, maybe the thirty five,
thirty eight yard lines something like that encourage me to
try to make the play. If I got a dangerous
kick returner, I'm going to say, you know what, thirty
yard line is okay to me? Started the third d
I'll trust my defense, and I just think when you

(06:29):
get into crucial situations, you're gonna see a lot of touchbacks.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
When did it change putting in your starters in the
preseason that you don't I'm not now. Maybe I'm in
the minority tune, but I would have Caleb Williams play
just a little bit, just just to go out there
as the starter and get ready for that feeling tonight.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
Dan I made the team in Dallas or in Pittsburgh.
We're playing against the Dallas Cowboys the final preseason game.
Roger Staubuck is in at the end of the game,
throwing his fifty eighth pass to win the game. In
the last preseason game we walked in, I'm disappointed. Oh
we lost to the Cowboys. And you know that's how

(07:10):
it was. You played and you map things out. When
I was a coach, Hey, our starters are going to
play X amount of plays. Some guys need a little
bit more. The first year guys, second year guys, maybe
they're going to play a little more, but you map
it out. I think this salary cap and boyfriend, I
get someone hurt, and what are we going to do?
We can't replace them. I don't think you can coach

(07:30):
in fear though, And I know my guys wanted to
play some and get ready to go and get ready
for the action, and I just I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
But you know what happens, Tony, and this is going
to happen to get in September. We're going to see
sloppy play, and then you're going to have the media say, hey,
why should sloppy playing? Coaches will say, well, you know,
we didn't have We didn't play in preseason like Belichick
and Brady always use September as their preseason. There's nobody
else like Belichick and Brady in NFL history. So the

(08:02):
other teams, I don't know why they don't use this
as let's get ready for the regular season. We'll get
ready during the regular season.

Speaker 8 (08:11):
I think Mike Tomlin said it best. You really can't
try to go win a heavyweight championship and never spar
just shadowbox the whole time. You better punch against somebody
and get yourself ready. Now, how much is that and
how much do guys need? Everybody is different, but I
know the good players that I've had in the past.
If I told Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison they were

(08:33):
not going to play in the preseason, there would be
a revolt.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
No, we have to practice our craft. We have to
get ready now.

Speaker 8 (08:40):
We don't need to play every play, we don't need
to be in the fourth quarter, but we need to
get some live action.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
What would be a successful season for Caleb Williams.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
I think to come in and lead the team well
and show that he has you know that franchise quarterback potential.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
I wouldn't put a figure on wins or what a CJ.

Speaker 8 (09:03):
Stroud messed everything up because now we expect everybody to
do that. That was so rare and unbelievable. Keep in mind,
you know, Peyton Manning was three and thirteen and set
a rookie record for interceptions his rookie year, So it
doesn't mean you have to go out there and light
things up now. I do think it's a little easier
for the quarterbacks now because the offense can be so

(09:26):
much ahead of the defense. They can get work done.
There's so much you can do and walk through his
defense can't get their feet on the ground until they,
you know, have some live action and so forth. So
I think it's a little easier now. But let's just
have him go out there and play well, and let's
not throw in the towel if he's six and eleven.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, but could you tell what Peyton had to offer
going three and thirteen and setting the rookie record for intership.

Speaker 8 (09:55):
Yes, absolutely, you can see it. You can see when
quarterbacks learn. Trevor Lawrence, I thought it was going to
be very, very good, even though it wasn't a superb
rookie year. But you see the control and you see
after the games, you don't see the down head down.
Oh we didn't win. I threw two interceptions. I didn't
get the job done. It was Hey, I learned out there,

(10:15):
and I'm going to be better for this, and I
still have the competence of my teammates.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
E's Tony Dungee Hall of Famer Football Night in America analyst.
The in game interviews with head coaches, I don't know
enough about it. I don't like it because I can't
imagine you guys are going to say anything or want
to say anything.

Speaker 8 (10:34):
Oh, that's the problem. I had a good conversation with
Fred Goadelli from NBC yesterday and he talked about what
they're trying to do and talked about having some of
these interviews in between the quarters, you know, before the
game starts. Those coins. I'm all for that. I was
probably one of the most media friendly guys. And if
you let me determine when we're going to do it,

(10:56):
and hey, I'll do it as I'm walking into the
locker room at halftime. If you come up to me
and say you have to do an interview in the
middle of the third quarter, when the game's going on.
You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be the
worst interview you can have. So you'll never ask me
again because I don't want to do that. I don't
want to say anything, and I don't want to mess
up my train of thought in the course of a game.

Speaker 7 (11:18):
So that's what I'm concerned about.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah, but you run the risk of getting fined by
the NFL if you don't cooperate.

Speaker 8 (11:26):
Oh, I'll cooperate, but I'm not gonna say anything, and
I'm gonna be as boring as I can be, so
you'll never ask me again.

Speaker 9 (11:32):
All right.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Let me try it. Let me try it here, all right.
So I'm gonna throw it down to games tied, fourth
quarter and you got a big series coming up here,
and let's go down to head coach Tony Dungee, Tony,
what kind of defense are you gonna throw it?

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Rock?

Speaker 8 (11:46):
Pretty well, Dan, it's really a critical situation and we
just have to stop them, and we're gonna go out
there and give it our best shot. And you will
see our first eleven guys out there.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Okay, but what's the strategy, coach?

Speaker 8 (12:01):
Hey, we got we got a press from we got
a press rom all right, you know, and and I
guess if you work with the coaches and you talk
to them, and when do you want to do this?
And hey, can I do this as we're going into
the locker room or as we're coming out? That's one thing.
And I'm okay, and I'm going to give you everything

(12:23):
I can.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
But you're not going to give any strategy away Tony, Like, hey,
what what are you going? Uh a second half adjustments coach?
What are you going to make? Well, we're going to
surprise them with a bomb on the first play the
third quarter?

Speaker 8 (12:38):
No, Dan, we got to get back to fundamentals. That
talking wasn't good, and we talked about tackling better. We
got a rally to the football. Hey, and you know what,
we got to play with effort.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Of course we got to play.

Speaker 8 (12:52):
But now there are some coaches it'll be good. You know,
I say this a new group of guys. Mike McDaniel,
you know, uh, yeah, I want to see him and
I'll see what happens there. And if you do it
on my terms, yes, but I don't think you're going
to force these guys and say you have to talk
at a certain time. At six minutes left in the

(13:13):
fourth quarter. We're gonna get you, and you got to
be good. I just don't know how that's gonna play out.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Give me the coach who has got a seat that's
a little hotter than everybody else in your opinion.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
Well, obviously, Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 8 (13:30):
You know when the owner comes out and says, well,
I didn't give you an extension because we didn't play
well in the playoffs last year, that's a pretty hot
seat right there.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
I think he's gonna be fine. I think they're going to.

Speaker 8 (13:40):
Have a pretty good team. But you know, to me,
everybody's seat is hot in this NFL the way it
is now, it's just such an impatient time and everybody
thinks that their team is right there and they should win.
Hopefully we'll give these first year guys a chance to
get their feet on the ground.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Good to talk to you, as always, Tone, We'll talk
to you during the season.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
To the family, all right, Thank you, Dan, Always good
to be with you.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Tony Dungee, Hall of Famer and Football Night in America analysts.
You know, when you look at preseason games, there are
times when like an undrafted free agent Victor Cruz. He
had an unbelievable game against the Jets back in twenty ten.
That's when he had three touchdowns and eventually had a
couple of one thousand yard season. Dak Prescott, he played

(14:24):
in three games for the Cowboys. Now he would take
over eventually for Tony Romo lead them to the playoffs.
Matt Flynn. They shelled out money for Matt Flynn in Seattle,
and then Russell Wilson came in and won the job
because he played well during the postseason. So the potential
to witness the next late round stars reason enough perhaps

(14:45):
to tune in. But you know how many of those players?
How often is that going to happen? That's the fun
part of the preseason. There will be somebody tonight where
you go gotta that guy was fun to watch. At
least I hope there's one guy that you'll say that about.
Let me take a break. Matt Damon will join us

Speaker 2 (17:15):
In the coverage of it, it was on Yesterday afternoon

(18:05):
the movie is The Instigators and American heist comedy film
by the director Doug Lyman, who did the Boorn movies
with him and once again. It'll be on Apple TV
Plus next Friday, August ninth. Big time movie star Matt
Damon joining us on the program. You know, I'm watching
the Olympics. They're in Paris, and I keep thinking of
the Bourne identity, all the places that you were going through,

(18:28):
all the action. I don't know. Do you go back
at some of these cities you're in where you filmed
a movie and go, oh, yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 10 (18:36):
Yeah for sure.

Speaker 11 (18:36):
I drive my kids crazy. I took them to Paris
once and just was pointing everything out and they.

Speaker 10 (18:42):
Were just like shut up. They're like, we get it.
You lived here.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Did you do that in Boston though, when you're shooting
a movie.

Speaker 11 (18:50):
Yeah, for sure. I mean a lot of that. I mean, well,
I remember with my dad. This is ten years ago,
we went up for his birthday and he walked, we
all walked into Boston Commons and and and we showed
them the bench. They hadn't even seen Goodwill hunting at
that point, but we sat on the bench and we
took a picture as a family on that bench where

(19:11):
Robin delivers that amazing monologue.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
But at what point, like all your movies, kid, your
kids are good to watch all of them?

Speaker 10 (19:19):
Yeah, if they want to.

Speaker 11 (19:20):
It's it's you know, I have one daughter who's very
resistant to watching anything she thinks might be good.

Speaker 10 (19:28):
So if she hears a movie isn't that good?

Speaker 11 (19:30):
She she she watches it and then gives me a
hard time about it. But but yeah, I don't, I don't.
I don't like have movie marathons, and like.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
You could punish them. Hey, instead of a time out,
you go watch it. Yeah, you're gonna watch.

Speaker 10 (19:46):
You and make you watch every single one of my movies.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
But isn't the director is Doug who did the Boorn movies.
He's doing this movie with you and Casey exactly.

Speaker 11 (19:57):
Yeah, yeah, And he was he was the first guy
we went to because Doug if So he did the
Bourne identity.

Speaker 10 (20:02):
But he also did.

Speaker 11 (20:03):
Swingers Go, Mister and Missus Smith Edge of Tomorrow, Like
all of his movies are are just so kind of
tonally interesting and funny and entertaining and.

Speaker 10 (20:13):
And so that's what this was.

Speaker 11 (20:15):
This is a comedy set in Boston, and it's it's
it's kind of a heightened reality because it's a comedy,
but it needs to feel grounded and needed to be
really funny and fun and so he was the he
was the first choice for it.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
So there's gonna be a couple of car chases. I'm
gonna guess if.

Speaker 11 (20:32):
Doug's absolutely well, Doug's involved, there has to be a
car chase. But what was fun about this one is
it's like, you know, we did the Jason Bourne car chase,
and that's a character who always knows where he's going.
He is aggressively going at his next best option all
the time. And like in this one, I'm playing a
guy who's never committed a crime, he's never been in
a car chase. And so it was a very different

(20:52):
type of car chase, which was fun. Which was fun
to do.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Your relationship with Casey Affleck as opposed to Ben how
different on set.

Speaker 11 (21:04):
Well, Casey drives me crazy, and he always has. Casey's
like my little brother. So when we were growing up,
Casey's five years younger than me, so he was tagging
along all the time when we were when we were young.
And then you know, when he graduated high school, he
came out and lived with us, and we were all
struggling actors together. And we've kind of been through all
these phases. And now for the last whatever thirty years

(21:26):
or so, we've both been adults. And so that's so
our relationship. The nature of our relationship definitely changed over
those three decades. But he's he's incredibly incredibly tenacious and
picky and opinionated, and so it makes but because we've

(21:47):
known each other for so long, we have a shorthand.
So it's it's nice you don't spend any time on diplomacy,
on being overly kind to somebody. You just kind of
solved the problems a little quicker, and and and and
that's that's great.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Playing himself in Goodwill Hunting, No, not.

Speaker 10 (22:03):
At all, he's playing.

Speaker 11 (22:04):
He's playing a kind of a heightened version of of
what we wrote in Goodwill Hunting. He's like kind of
over the top and and No, he's not. He's not
annoying in that way at all.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Instigators Apple TV Plus this Friday, August second, talking to
Matt Damon, Are you guys doing the Fritz Peterson Mike
Kekache wife swapping Yankee movie.

Speaker 10 (22:27):
No, they had a script for that like ten years ago.
That I that was.

Speaker 11 (22:30):
That was pretty good and a couple actors circled it,
and then it never It never took off.

Speaker 10 (22:35):
But it's actually a good question. I wonder if we
could revive it.

Speaker 11 (22:38):
It was a it was actually a really uh well
written script, so I don't know. It just never it
never gained enough momentum to get it made.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
God, but it's so crazy, like that'd be something you'd
make up, and then if you said it's true, people
would be like, no, that's not the wait these teammates
swapped wives and got no, no.

Speaker 10 (22:58):
It's it's it's a totally crazy story.

Speaker 11 (23:00):
It literally almost we almost got a green light, I
think twice, with two different casts.

Speaker 10 (23:04):
I think Casey was looking at one of the roles
for a while.

Speaker 11 (23:06):
I think chan Channing Tatum was looking at one of
the roles for it, like it was.

Speaker 10 (23:10):
It almost happened, and then kind of faded.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Where were you when the Celtics won the title?

Speaker 10 (23:17):
Oh man, where was I when the Celtics won the title?
That's an excellent question.

Speaker 11 (23:21):
I was in my I was Yeah, I was in
my house, jumping up and down kind of. I At
times I get like, I'm I want to go to
these events and I want to go to these games.
I did go in twenty eighteen to the Dodgers Red
Sox to game to the final game, to Game six,

(23:42):
as it turned out to be the final game. But
more often than not, I like watching at home. I
feel safer at home. I feel like I feel like
I'm not going to jinx the team in any way
if I'm just on my cap now.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
But you're surrounded by women, so is anybody sharing in
this glory with you?

Speaker 10 (23:58):
They get into it.

Speaker 11 (23:59):
For me, I feel like a lot of the time,
you know, they they let me, They kind of give
me my space to kind of cheer on the Boston teams,
and they know and they've been to Boston enough to
understand that we're not normal up there, so they you know,
they they they're very tolerant of me.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
But do you have friends in the neighborhood like guys
who could come over and like, I'm worried that you're
just alone in your man cave cheering.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
Sometimes I am.

Speaker 11 (24:23):
I mean in the Brady days, when the kids were young,
I would, you know, we were living in la and
I would wake up, you know that a lot of
those games were ten am and i'd you know, make
breakfast and you know, get the kids situated, and it's like,
let's not talk to dad till one.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
You did the Rugby movie in Victis, do you know
all the rules? Because we were watching yesterday the women
they got the bronze, but are you.

Speaker 10 (24:44):
Yeah, and they beat Australia, which is incredible.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yes, but are you aware of all the rules right now?
With rugby?

Speaker 10 (24:50):
No? No, absolutely not.

Speaker 11 (24:52):
And even when I did the movie, as many times
they tried to explain it to me. You know, it's
basically a field position game. But but I but I couldn't.
I couldn't quite master it. And even and normally, you know,
you kind of do a lot of the stunts or
the tackles or things like that. We realized really quickly
with rugby there was no way to guarantee you know,

(25:13):
anybody's because you go into one of those scrums or
you could and everyone's keep getting their faces cleated, and
you know, and if that happens to me, obviously the
movie shuts down for two weeks, so pretty quickly Clint
Eastwood was like, all right, your stunt man's going to
do everything. We're going to put you in for the
close up. So then I really didn't know anything about Rugby.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
But that's just jacked as you probably have been for
a role, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (25:37):
Yeah, I probably, I probably was fifteen pounds heavier than
I am now like I but it was a specific
type of work and to get that nineteen ninety four
Rugby body, uh.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, yeah, but it's gone, that's long gone. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (25:50):
Well it's tough to hold on to that. You gotta eat.

Speaker 11 (25:52):
Yeah, it's a lot of chicken you gotta eat to
keep that, to keep that extra muscle on.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
All right, so explain, you know, what's the plot for
The Instigators?

Speaker 10 (26:01):
All right? So The Instigators is a movie.

Speaker 11 (26:03):
It's like, you know, Casey and I did Ocean's eleven together,
Like these two guys could never make it on that crew.
Like this is like the worst heist team you've ever seen.
My character's never committed a crime before, but he's kind
of forced into this heist because he needs money, and
Casey's characters are kind of a career criminal who's just
not very good at it. And so we try to

(26:26):
pull off a heist and it goes about as well
as you might imagine, and then we have to go
on the run and we end up en listening the
help of my psychiatrist.

Speaker 10 (26:33):
To go on the run with us. So that's basically
the plot.

Speaker 11 (26:36):
It's a comedy, it moves very fast, and hopefully it's
a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Great to talk to you again. I always have to
ask any other Born movies.

Speaker 11 (26:48):
I mean, I heard that they have a script that
they're happy with, and you know, if that's the case,
then I'll get it, hopefully in the next month or so.
And I'm always open to it. I mean, I really,
I am desperate for somebody to come up with a
good idea.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yea.

Speaker 11 (27:01):
I love the character. Obviously, it changed the trajectory in
my career. So I'm very grateful for the character and
I'd love.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
To do it again. I say this on the show
all the time. I don't care where it is in
the movie. If I'm clipping you know, flipping through. I
don't care which one I stop, and I watch it,
and I've watched it many, many times, so I'd love
to get one more. Maybe you're your semi retired or
you know, you're you're on a cruise ship or something.

Speaker 11 (27:29):
Literally, there are eight studio executives from Universal sitting forward
in their chairs right now waiting for you.

Speaker 10 (27:34):
Thought, if you can figure out a good way to
do it, damn, we're doing it.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Okay, Damn, that'd be great. Hey, great to talk to you.
Good luck with the movie, Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 10 (27:46):
Thanks man, thanks for having me. Good to see it
all right?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Uh, the Instigators that'll be coming out in select theaters tomorrow.
And I saw the trailer with Casey A Flack obviously
some car scenes chases be fun. And then Apple TV
Plus next Friday, August time, it sounded like Matt Damon
was telling me something without trying to tell me something
about another Born movie, that there is a script being

(28:11):
tossed around. I got to kind of figure out what
the idea for a Born movie would be. By the way,
I got more information on the Happy Gilmore two movie script.
Is it a Born hybrid?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Happy Gilmot goes into Treadstone.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I don't want to give anything away. Did I just
spoil it?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:35):
You did not, No, you did not. But I found
out who else is in the movie. I immediately asked,
is there anybody in the media other than myself? Because
if that's the case, then that might be a no go.
But I was told no, you're you're the member of
the media there, like the main one. You're playing yourself.
And I start shooting. I think they start shooting in

(28:56):
September in New Jersey, a variety of golf courses there.
But trying to figure out who's in, and said, they
send me a script and then all of a sudden
it vanishes. I have forty eight hours to consume the
script and then it vanishes. So it's like mission impossible.

(29:18):
And I said, wait a minute, what happened with all
the Sandler scripts I used to get? And I go, oh,
this is different this time around with the plot, and
I go, okay, fair enough born identity. I don't know,
semi retired, idyllic life on the farm. Something tragic has

(29:43):
to happen to bringing back. But that happened before because
he was in, like I know, somewhere in Spain with
his girlfriend and right then all of a sudden they
tracked her down and it didn't go well, and then
he came back in Born Identity, Birch.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
So far they've filmed Paris, Prague, Imperia, Rome, Micinos, Zurich,
uh India, Berlin, Moscow, Philippines.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Uh, yeah, a lot of places.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
He's up for another one.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I bet, how about maybe one in the United States.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Santa Cruz, Canary Islands, Berlin, Iceland, Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Birch in Connecticut, High Birch, what's on your mind?

Speaker 12 (30:28):
And I've got the perfect title and plot for the
next Born movie. So it's called the Bourn Conundrum. And
Jason's basically he's struggling with his identity years after and
the movie essentially the conundrum is him trying to figure
out an idea for his next adventure or even the

(30:50):
sequel to the next movie Born.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Thank you, Burch. So is it Matt Damon figuring out
a movie to play Jason Bourne is not the conundrum?

Speaker 7 (31:03):
Man.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you credit for
ingenuity there for your conundrum.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Yes, Paul, all right, I've given this to the bare
minimum thought. Here's the last Born movie. He's on a
remote island like Malta. That's not remote, but he's on
Malta with a family, and he's been in the hiding
for fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
He's gone, he's doing nothing.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Somehow he gets recognized by one of the people he
assassinated when he was a bad guy. Remember when he
was an assassin and born the firstborn.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
But if he assassinated them, then a family recognized like.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
A family member of one of the people he assassinated.
So now there some foreign official son is coming for payback.
And in a twist, he has to go to the
CIA to help him, and now America's on his side,
and he teams up with the new CIA tough guys
and they take down this international bad guy.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
And scene you could.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Fill in the rest. There's not a lot of words
in a Born movie. No, you could write that up
to get right that up by lunch, just a lot
of card chase. In a twist, after all these years,
the CI comes to help him and his family and
they kick ass together.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
M mm hmm, that's the name the Born Kick ass
together retirement. We're kicking ass together? How about Born again? Right,
that's a walk off. It's over, thank you, right it up?
Got it ball game? Let me get Todd call Matt

(32:29):
Damon back.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
Be interesting if he was born again and he just
went around lecturing people on the dangers of violence and
then turning the other cheek like he's he's truly born again. No no, no,
my brother, no no, no, don't. Let's not fight. He's
got let's just forgive an except.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
He's got an old church van he's riding around instead
of like an Audie.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
He's going to be a Tibetan monk. That's what he's
going to be. It's a peaceful way to settle out here.
Thank you. Tod uh duco in Arizona.

Speaker 13 (32:58):
Hey Ducco, Hey Dan, Hey I I heard you talk
about your French prowists the other day.

Speaker 9 (33:09):
You know, four years in high school we want yeah,
and and you know I spent time in France fortunately
many moons ago in my undercrab days and kind of
picked up expressions such as, is well, if a foreigner
doesn't speak French, the French say that he speaks French
like a Spanish cow and pat mose coming rush espaniol.

(33:34):
So next time you're next time you're in France you
and they asked, Patty, you can just come back with
speak pot and rush Espanol and hain't no Spanish cow?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
All right, well, thank you, thank you, Dounco. It's so
good to remember. It's like Terry b m to, So
basically that's our exchange. Hi are you? I'm good? Good?
How about you?

Speaker 7 (34:01):
They love you?

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Who had Italian yesterday? They were like, yeah, you know,
my French, isn't that good? And then they said something
in Italian. I go, it's still not that good. Let
me take a break. Last call for phone Calls, What
we learned, what's in store tomorrow? Todd has some movie
titles for the potential wife swapping movie with the two
Yankee Pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson back in the seventies.

Speaker 7 (34:28):
There.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Now, it hasn't been green lit yet or green lighted yet,
but if it is, we're gonna help. We're gonna help
Hollywood with this one as well. So we're back after this.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Last call for phone Calls, What we learn what's in
store tomorrow This day in sports history. I just saw
Jim Harbaugh's pre practice playlist Chargers put this U, So
this is his pre practice playlist. Phil Collins in the
Air Tonight, Scorpions, Rocky like a Hurricane, Big League, Yogati,

(35:13):
money bag Yo, I have the Tigers, Survivor, Dreams and Nightmares,
Meek Mill and pour some sugar on me. Def Leppard, Yeah,
certainly touching on a couple of genres there. There was
also something that said you kind of define or establish

(35:36):
your music taste between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.
Studies have shown the most important period for men informing
their musical taste is between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.
I did not know that. I'm not sure about said studies,
but feels like thirteen to sixteen a lot of things happen. Yeah,

(36:00):
did you guys seem did you form your music taste
between the ages of thirteen and sixteen? You know, it
makes a lot of sense. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
I can't say that I formed them, but from thirteen
to sixteen that would have been sort of like Nirvana's run.
That would have been ninety one to ninety four. And
they're easily my favorite band ever, and that that's probably
where I picked up the guitar. I started going to
shows to see bands. I you know, a lot of
those things got really into super into I was already skating,

(36:30):
but I got even more into skateboarding, punk rock. All
of that stuff happened right at that age, so that
it makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, mine was probably maybe it was thirteen to round
eighteen to twenty, because then you started to go into concerts.
So it's one thing to listen to the music, and
then you started going to concerts where you had to
have somebody. You had to be old enough to drive,
or somebody would drive you. And I always had to
rely on just about everybody to drive me since I

(36:59):
was driving riding a ten speed bicycle till I was eighteen.
That's kind of awkward to go out on the date. Hey,
you want to go out on the date? Sure, all right,
I'll meet you here. I'll be on my bike ring
all right. So there's this movie that could be in
the works. It's two Yankee pitchers. They were teammates and

(37:19):
they swapped families. It's actually a true story, and this
took place in the early seventies, Todd came up with
some names. I think Mark Sanchez, the former quarterback, he's
listening and he offered some things as well. I think
he said a curveball, Yeah, screwball, not bad. I love
that Mark's listening in participating. All right, Todd, did you

(37:42):
have something? I had a few.

Speaker 11 (37:43):
I had nice mounds switch pictures that kind of makes
sense to me.

Speaker 10 (37:48):
Instead of switchhitters, switch.

Speaker 11 (37:49):
Pittures, chasing some Bronx tail nerve balls instead of curveballs.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Wife, Long Friends, and two other ones came to mind.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yankee na let's.

Speaker 9 (38:00):
Bride, and is something rosin?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Or you're happy to see my wife? Is something rosen?
Are you happy to see my wedding? All right?

Speaker 7 (38:11):
Lifelong friends?

Speaker 2 (38:13):
I like nice mounds. They got to get this movie made.
Do they do this day in sports history?

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Paul Joe Namath in nineteen seventy two got a two
year deal worth five hundred thousand dollars for the Jets.
Biggest in baseball eighty six. John mccaron Tatum O'Neil, the
famous actress.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Were married. That was a big deal.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Yeah, and let's stop about this bonus. Nineteen ninety three,
Reggie Jackson, mister October great nickname, admitted it to the
Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
He mentioned me in the speech, gave me a shout out,
and I was shocked, but he said, I want to
leave the game in the hands of people like and
then he threw out some names and mentioned me in
his Hall of Fame speech, and I was like, okay.
And Reggie and I became friends after that, like I had.
I had been around him, but I didn't really know him.

(39:06):
And you know, in fact, he called me recently to
give me his new number. So it was nice. It
was a nice moment there. Twenty fourteen, Paul George suffered
the compound fracture of his lower right leg in a
Team USA scrimmage. Pretty amazing when you see that injury

(39:27):
and see where he is now, and he's doing a
podcast too. Oh podcast podcast Pig. Final results of the
pole question Seet O'Connor. Yeah, we got a few of
them up here for you.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
It's interesting. I put up one because you can only
do four options, but the best Matt Damon movie, and
I went by traditionally how they're rated.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Talented.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Mister Ripley, Goodwill hunting the Martian and Bourne identity. Right now,
Goodwill Hunting has fifty one percent of the vote. The comments, though,
are just all like, you know Rounders, uh saving Private Ryan,
which he was barely in, but he was in Ocean's eleven.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
I mean he's in that Oceans at well. I didn't
I didn't want to bring up the depoted because I
did not like that movie Thepod. I like it, but
not love it. I just didn't like Nicholson. I didn't
think he was good as Whitey Bulger. What can I use?
JEFFA you don't like well? He he kind of faded
in and out with his accent. That was the problem.

(40:28):
He's allowed to Is he like Sean Connery? Like think
he can have an Irish accent on a German ship
while playing a Russian.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
Yeah, submarine captain, you're playing both sides.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Todd Wood, I going to defect Todd. What did I
learn on today's program?

Speaker 3 (40:47):
While at the free throw line, Kevin Duranfeld compelled to
talk trash of a South Sudanese player.
