Today's Mercedes Benz Interview The Day brought to you by
Mercedes Benz Dream Days. They're here with exceptional offers on
the cle Coopy Class, Sidan Ce Class, Sidan Clcabriolet going
on now through September third, and learn more at mbusa
dot com. Slash Dream Experience the Olympics like you've never
(00:26):
seen them before, Primetime in Paris. That'll be tonight on
NBC and Peacock. We will speak to a man who
has been sculpting the bust for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame for forty one years. He'll join us, Blair Buswell,
he'll join us, coming up here. Shortly, Chicago White Sox
became irrelevant. They won last night. Now no one cares
(00:48):
about them. They had lost twenty one consecutive games. They
eked out a win against the Oakland A's Brandon Nyuk
is still a member of the forty nine ers, although
don't say that to Christian mcay affrey, who had this
to say yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Situation with Brandon just as a teammate. How do you
guys deal with that in house?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, for me, I don't deal with it. You know's
that's not part of my job. It's not part of
my my position. I think obviously as a as a
former teammate or you know, teammate of his. In general,
any teammate that you have, you love, you respect them,
you want the best for them. I just try to
focus on what I can do every single day. But
obviously we always wish the best for any of our teammates,
(01:29):
whether they're here or not. Obviously we hope he's here.
Just you know, it's a it's a tough part of
the business.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oops, former teammate, now he's still your teammate. Maybe a
foregone conclusion that he's a former teammate, But now you're
hearing that it's the Steelers and probably the Cleveland Browns
up for grabs for Brandon Nyuk. That the Patriots reportedly
they have dropped out of the race, whereas the real
report was they dropped out because Brandon Nayuk did not
(01:56):
want to go to the Patriots, Because the report was
the Patriots wanted to make Brandon Ayuk one of the
top five paid receivers. You can't go from yesterday that
being reported to today going no, I think we're going
to drop out of the race. Here, what changed other
than Brandon Ayuk deciding he did not want to play
for one of the worst offenses in football. All right,
Seaton pole question for the final hour is going to
(02:18):
be what.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
We got a bunch of them working right now? We've
got let's see, we did this one every four years.
Of course, you'd rather win assuming you're in four events,
four silver, four silver medals or one gold and no
medal in the other right now, one gold has eighty
one percent of the vote. Who pulled out of this
proposed trade? Brandon Ayuk did not. The Patriots. Yes, it
(02:43):
makes a lot of sense. And then whose career would
you rather have? Three six Mafia or Diane Warren? This
is Marvin's pole question right now. Sixty six percent of
vocal with three six Mafia?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, Deffen on some scissor random we'll get phone calls
coming up. He's Blair bust Well, Pro Football Hall of
Fame lead sculptor, forty one years doing this, Blair, I
mean you got to put a T in your last name.
This is what you do. It's bust, Well, not bust.
(03:14):
Well what are you thinking?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Yeah? What we're bucking at? That's right?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay, where are you right now?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
I'm in Utah. I'm in Pleasant Grove, Utah, my studio.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And then you're surrounded by So who's behind you some
of these busts. There is that John Madden behind you?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Yeah, we see. I've got Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith,
Shannon Sharp, and Read.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Shouldn't they be in the Hall of Fame? Blair?
Speaker 6 (03:54):
These are yeah, these are my replicas.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh okay, do you have replicas of every bust that
you've scored?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
No? Dis selected ones?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How did you get the John?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Wow? Great story. I was a running back at BYU,
had some you know, great teams with Mark Wilson, Jim mcvaan,
Steve Young, Andy Reid. My senior year, at the annual
Sports Award banquet, I was awarded this Student Athlete Award
(04:29):
for what I did outside the game. I didn't play
much and I did a sculpture of Jim McMahon and
Danny Age. We were all seniors together. So I've been
up a couple of times during the night, and the
guest speaker that night was Bill Walsh, who had just
won his first Super Bowl with the forty nine Ers.
After the banquet, he came and grabbed me and asked
(04:50):
me if I would considered doing a sculpture of he
and Eddie de Barbelo of the Owner as a gift
for winning the Super Bowl, And of course I jumped
on that. He took me it, had me come down
to the forty nine ers first preseason game and they
both post for me. But the season didn't start in
nineteen eighty two, that was a strike year. So coach
(05:13):
flew me out to Youngstown, Ohio to give the bronze
to Eddie, and Eddie had me sit down and he
was thanked me up and down and said, now, what
do you want to do with this talent? And I said,
my dream is to work for the NFL, especially the
(05:34):
Pro Football Hall of Fame. He reached over, picked up
the phone, called Pt. Elliott, the director of the Hall,
and said, I have a young man you need to meet.
I'll send him right over. That was forty two years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Wow, good for you. Okay, let's say Luke Keikley next
year gets into the Hall of Fame. When does the
process start for you? It's like, let's do Eli Manning.
So Eli Manning's going in the Hall of Fame, and
then what is the When does the process start for you?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
I don't know anything before anybody else does. So once
they're announced who they are, I meet them at the
weekend of the Super Bowl along with the staff of
the Hall of Fame. Then we all get together and
the staff will explain what to expect the next six months.
(06:26):
And during that time we measure them for their gold jacket,
their ring, and their bust. So I have a chart
and I fill out the chart and I take kind
of mugshots at different angles. Now I know who they are,
I get ahold of their teams, and I get as
many pictures of like because I have to agent back
when they played and so a different expressions, different hairstyles,
(06:51):
different ages, and so when they come to my studio,
I get it started from those pictures and measurements, so
that when they come it's already kind of things are
in the right place, the right size. So now we
have a picture board. They walk in and I say, okay,
do you want to bite someone's set off? Do you
want to be happy you're there or somewhere in between
(07:12):
you and what hairstyle do you want to be? So
we kind of play that back and forth until they
we decide what they want to do. They sit down
and we spend the day talking.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, give me the honest request you've had from a
Hall of Fame inductee.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
The artist, Well, Brandy Moss came in. It was they
were doing a sixty thing and he came in looking
at the board and he said, mister Buzzwell, I've looking
on Disney pulls out a picture of him with this
after all, it's this bag.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And I just go, no, did he really want to
afro that bike?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
He just wanted to shop. Okay, So we ended up
doing corn rolls. But didn't Dion want to have his
bandana on?
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Yeah? Yeah, but that's that was set a long time ago.
If Paul Brown doesn't have a hat, and Landry and
and Bud Grant and Joe Gibbs, there's no you know,
we're not doing new rags and skull caps.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, Landry's hat, that would have been awesome though, Blair, Yeah,
maybe a removable hat.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Well, I did tell I told Dion, I said I
wish I could, but I tell you what when you
get your coffee of the bust. You can change the
color of that dewerrag every night if you want to.
And so at the induction he turned and said, this
is looking pretty good, but there's something missing. Yeah, bandana
and wraps around the head.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What's the toughest part of an inductee to get right?
Speaker 6 (08:58):
Well, the likeness, the eyes and the expression, and you
know that's that's a fun part, but it's it's also
the toughest.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Who has final approval?
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Me?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You pause there, Blair, Are you sure you.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Well? I run it by the inductee and their wives.
I guess their wives have the final say. And yeah,
so they I'll run it by when I get out
the clay ready and and and then they'll say, you know,
they want to change this or that, or you know,
can can you trim the beard a little bit more?
Or whatever?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Did far of one facial hair?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I can't remember. He was debating whether he's going to
be smiling or the intense look. I remember that we
were working on the intense look and his wife walked
in and says, you've got to be smiling. So, I mean,
that's always the going back and forth.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then do you measure the gap between the teeth
for Michael Strahand to get it right.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Blair, Well, I got a lot of you know, the
press from New York kept asking how are you going
to do the gap? And I said, it's real tough.
I take a little wire loop and I go like
that and I'm done. That was it? Just a little
hole in there?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
How many hours for each one?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I don't start and then finish it and then go
on to the next one. I'm doing them all at
the same time, So I give myself about two months
to do I do about three or four a year,
and I've got a great team that I've trained to
do the rest of them. But Tabby takes average the
two weeks.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
How much would it cost if I was going to
have one of me done a lot? Yeah, well let
me get Let's go around the room. How much do
you think Blair is going to charge me? Hall of
Fame broadcaster Todd How much do you think I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Going to say? One hundred and twenty five thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
One hundred and twenty five Do you see La Marina?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Look how amazing those things are just ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Just the head is not a body, it's got six
figures for that. Okay, seeing how much.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Does Blair charge? The Ed Reid bust is Unbelievableed Reed
is awesome. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ed Reid the oldest looking young football player I ever saw.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Absolutely fantastic. Okay, I'm going to say twenty five, twenty five,
K Marvin.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I'm gonna say fifty thou fifty, PAULI.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Twenty five is a good gas. I'm gonna go even
twenty maybe.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He's been doing this forty one years.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I've been doing it forty one years.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
He's the lead sculptor for the Hall of Bame.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I'm the lead broadcaster for America. Okay, Blair, what's the
answer that's.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Somewhere between the twenty five and fifty?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, I think I should do it. We have time
to do this, Blair. Sure, what do you think I have.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
To do that?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Okay? I think I gotta do this, Blair?
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Can can?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Can we talk about this?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
But we can? We can maybe make something happen here.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Got a lot of stories to share, Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I could. I could even come visit now. I'll do
nude too, if that helps you get in no, no nudes. Okay,
because I do a full body. If you wanted me to, like,
you know, the David, I'll be the Daniel.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Uh would you guys pony up some money though for
this sculpture.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
For our sculpture of you.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah, we can help pay for your sculpture, Yeah, Dan,
it would be an honor. It's a team effort. How
about a go fund me for me? My crowdfund it?
Yeah yeah, yeah, crowdfund Let's see what we can do.
Thanks for being a good sport Blair. And uh, now
I'm serious about doing this. Are you serious about doing this?
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Well, we just got to fit it in somewhere. Got
a lot of things going on.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
But well, why don't you skip a Hall of Fame
class and just say that you're well, thanks for joining us,
thanks for sharing, Thank you all right, and add the tea.
Add the tea. Blair bust Well bust Well Pro Football
(13:30):
Hall of Fame Lead sculptor and been doing it for
forty one years for the Hall of Fame. Yeah, Todd,
you make it seem like he's been doing it longer
than I've been doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I understand, but I'm just looking at those those busts.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
It's amazing, not that you're not an amazing broadcast, but
I thought he would charge one hundred thousand dollars for that,
and maybe he'd give you some kind of discount because
you're a Hall of Fame broadcast and get.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It down to sethon. I don't know why it's between
twenty five and fifty, Like, what's the difference there? Like,
if it's gonna cost you fifty, if we do this.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Get in your head just right, we're lucky. It's not
like seventy eighty thousand.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Now, Wait, why do you keep driving up the price tag.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Just telling it?
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Because if you want to get it just right, maybe
certain faces are harder to do than others. And that's
why there's a change in the price.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
And that Wait, they does charge me fifty, don't charge
me twenty five, or say between twenty five and fifty.
You'd just say fifty, yeah, thank you to that.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Yeah, Paul, what year of hair are you thinking for
this one?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Go sports center?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Right, but that's a long window. Ninety two, ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And mid ninety eight, mid mid nineties a right, mid
nineties too puffy? Well, I don't want to go too puffy.
Too puffy.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Yeah, I'd like to suggest ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, would you be upset if you paid somewhere between
twenty five and fifty thousand dollars in your hair was
too puffy in your busts, Yes, you would.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Be yes, yes, because I don't think I can take
it back. I'd have to. And that was a bad
moment in my career when I was told my hair
was too puffy, and maybe it cost me the job
with Fox's pregame show. I think we can go back
and pinpoint the reason why I didn't get the job
(15:04):
is David Hill, the president of Fox Sports, said my
hair was too puffy, and once again, back then it
was called cream rants, not conditioner. And that's when he
said two words for his Australian accent, two words for you,
cream rants, and I went, creams. I'm going to crack
the code that everybody.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
I guess how we long and Terry must have been
told this to cream Rance, and then I realized he
wanted me to use cream rants because my hair was
too puffy.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All righty, let's take a break. Last call for phone calls.
What we learned once in store for tomorrow. Dwayne Wade
is going to join us on the program tomorrow. He's
been part of the broadcast team for Team USA, but
we'll take a break back after this.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Tried to reach out to my wife during the commercial
break to let her know that I was going to
have somebody do a bust of me. Not sure where
we'll put it in the house, but I'm sure we'll
find a nice location where you walk in. Maybe I
have it where you have to find it. It doesn't
find you, but I figure that's money well spent. Yeah,
(16:53):
I'll say to her it's gonna cost somewhere between twenty
five fifty thousand dollars and I'm gonna get a Hall
of Fame bust.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
You gonna approve that?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Ah? Yeah, I think so, I'll say, han, it's content,
it's content for the show. I really don't want to bust,
but I'll do it for content with the show.
Speaker 11 (17:14):
Yes, Marvin, Like, what's the limit that you have to
ask your significant other for permission to get something?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It depends, it gets weird. I had this moment, and
it's a moment that I continually bring up to my
wife because I was at the airport and we were
flying someplace and I realized I didn't pack shorts, and
there was an outdoor store and I said, I'm gonna
(17:44):
go buy a couple pairs of shorts.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
And she said, do you really need shorts? You've got
so many pairs of shorts. I go, Hun, I'm only
getting two pair of shorts, okay.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So I'm like I had to run that by her,
a pair of you know, two pairs of shorts. So
it kind of depends on sometimes this situation or the
mood somebody's in. But I God forbid, or if I
get another pair of tennis shoes, and she'd be like,
how many ten pair do you need?
Speaker 6 (18:14):
I go?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You never have enough?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Hunt.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's like women with shoes. Sometimes guys are the same way. Yes, Todd,
I was going to know.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Where you plan on putting that bus? Does that like
in the fireplace on the main entrance or in the
main living room?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Is that a basement thing? Where would you display something
like that?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I don't know. We kind of moved on from that.
We're talking about how much you have to spend, but
I guess I could put it on the fireplace there, Todd. Okay,
thank you? Uh Marvin, how much do you have to spend?
Speaker 11 (18:45):
Can you spend if it's a significant amount of money
for a pair of shoes?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Anything like how much is you got to run this
by the home office?
Speaker 11 (18:56):
The most I spent on myself is probably it's orange shoes,
so it's a couple hundred dollars. I will ask my wife. Well,
I don't know if i'll ask. I'll just say I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
These heads up.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Oh, it's always a heads up. I'm not really asking her.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
Yes, when you gave her that heads up, Marvin, what
if she said, now you don't need anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
No, I'm getting them anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
So it's a false courtesy, Dan. I think your shorts
thing is more about volume and room in the house
than it is about spending, because two pairs of shorts,
what one hundred bucks or so? And I'm sure it's
more like we have seventy five pair of shorts in
your stack. When I come home with a flannel shirt,
my wife doesn't care that I spent seventy bucks on
a flannel. She goes another flannel for that bar. That's bending.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, I get it, I understand it.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yes, it's not false courtesy.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
I just don't want her to say, why is there
two hundred and fifty dollars missing from the account? So
I'll give you I'll give you a head. Oh, okay
on what why it's missing?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
By the way, speaking the money those lions and giants
got fined for by their teams for that fight. The
giants and lions each find two hundred thousand dollars for
fights at the joint practices. So this was during the scrimmage,
and so two hundred thousand dollars. First of all, if
you're swinging and you got a helmet on, you're hitting
(20:25):
a guy with a helmet on. That seems kind of stupid.
Malik Neighbors is your first round draft pick. He needs
his hands. I would find him for being stupid. You
get upset in practice, you're going to go after somebody
and you're punching them in their helmet. Seems kind of silly.
And it's a padded helmet at that, Like, what are
(20:48):
you doing having a fight in football? What are you doing?
And you're my first round draft pick and you're out there.
I get it, tensions flair, But if you're going to
grab somebody, grab somebody helmet by the face mask. Then
if you want to go after somebody, but not smacking
somebody up the side of the head in a padded helmet, Yes,
(21:08):
but what.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Do you do in football because pretty much everywhere is padded, Well,
I grab your face mask, Yeah, but that's not Oh
it hurts like you can rattle them pretty good with
something like that, or maybe you just hit them hard
like during the play the next play.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
But yeah, grabbing the helmet, shaking the face mask. Yes,
ton how.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
Much responsibility the coaches have if they just had a
number of skirmishes and fights the day before and this
is happening again, and then it happened multiple times a
second day. Don't the coaches have to get together and
have some kind of conversation or talk to your players.
Next one that takes a swing at somebody you having
a seat, we're not going to put up with that.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well, I think coaches like a little bit of this.
The question is how far does it go? That obviously
went further than it needed to. But you're finding them
two hundred thousand dollars for a skirmish. I guess a
couple of phone calls in here Jonathan in South Carolina, Hi, Jonathan,
went's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (22:07):
Dan, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 13 (22:08):
I had an idea for the maybe the next Olympics
that actually came from our nine year old daughter, Hannah.
We were watching early on the medal the first kind
of metal podium doing the national anthem, and she says, Oh,
is she going to start singing now? And we were
like no, but how great would it be if you
win the gold medal you have to sing your national anthem?
(22:29):
Like talk about another performance you have to do, and
then not only that, you got Michael Phelps Ladecki, You're
going to get to see them progress. They're gonna have
to get voice coaches. I mean, you're gonna be able
to pan not only to the family, but then also
to the voice coach. They've been working on the C
sharp for a while. Can they hit it? I think
it could be a great idea.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
All right, well, thank you, John. I don't think it'd
be a great idea. I'd be an entertaining idea, But
I don't want to imagine you win gold, greatest moment
of your life, and then you get up there and
you forget the words to the anthem or you struggle
with it. Yes, Tom, Well, if you have.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Some kind of social anxiety disorder and you're just good
at the sport, but you're not good at talking to people,
certainly not singing, you're getting a punished or finishing first.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah. Yeah, I can't have you. You to have athletes going,
oh my god. All I could think of is if
I won the gold, I had to get up there
and sings. It's tough enough. You gotta just win your race.
That's good. You can hum along if you want to.
Scotti Scheffler was kind of mouthing the words I don't
want to hear Scotty Scheffler sing, if I do all
ask him to go to karaoke with me. You know,
(23:32):
I've been looking at these schedules for college teams and
what it looks like Florida might have as tough a
schedule as we've ever seen in college football. And that's
saying a lot. But the Florida football program has Miami
their nineteenth, Texas A and m is twentieth. Tennessee is fifteenth,
(23:54):
Georgia's number one, Texas number four, LSU number twelve, Old
miss number six, Florida State is number ten. That's their schedule. Now,
they do have Mississippi State, Samford, and Central Florida and
Kentucky thrown in there. But man, you want to talk
about degree of difficulty, Florida certainly has that. That is
(24:15):
tough sledding. So what do we have one, two, three, four, five, six,
eight teams that are ranked in the top twenty that
Florida is going to play? Also on this date, twenty
five years ago, Wade Boggs hit a home run for
career hit number three thousand. No player had done that before,
(24:37):
but since then, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez joined Wade Boggs.
But I was curious, like, there have been two players
who hit a triple for career hit number three thousand,
one left handed, one right handed. You should get one,
(24:58):
probably not the other. Anybody want to take a guess
the only players to hit a triple for their three
thousandth hit Marvin got a shot here, Tony No, Paulie.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
I don't know if he has three thousand, Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No Todd, Paul Mallodor, Paul Mollotor. Correct?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
What correct? Okay? Was this on your scoreboard?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
It is not on my scoreboard? Okay, all right, double check.
But I don't think I've used that for the scoreboard.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I did not, Okay, So that's just a pure gas
that Paul Mollotor had a triple.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
I remember Malodor being in the three thousand hit club,
but I wasn't sure. So I just took a guest
because I live in the eighties and I liked him
on the Brewers with Jim Gentner and some of those
other things.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Right, Ichi Row had a triple, yeah for his three
thousand tit. I thought you would get that one. You
wouldn't get Paul Mollotor because you might not realize Paul
Mollodor had three thousand hits. Simon joining us on the program. Hi, Simon,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (26:05):
Hey Dan, just seeing if y'all think that the bus
man is he? Is he a Hall of Famer for
constitutions to the game?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Sure, if you want to put the sculptor in contributions
to the game. I guess he's in the Hall of
Fame because his work is in the Hall of Fame,
all of the bus that he's done. Yeah, I guess
he's sort of de facto in the Hall of Fame
by proxy in the Hall of Fame. Andrew and Grand Rapids. Hi, Andrew,
(26:35):
what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
How was it going guys?
Speaker 14 (26:39):
First time? Long time? Five to eleven one eight. I
had just two quick things for you guys. Number one was,
how do you guys feel about so many foreign athletes
training in the USA to attain their medals over the years,
whether it be for coaching facilities or opportunities. Does the
US get to take a little pride or ownership and
(27:02):
all those medals?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Well, I would think the greatest Pole Voulder went to LSU,
that LSU is gonna take some credit with that, take
some pride that he went to LSU. Let me see
who's that Katie Ladecci. The fact now this isn't She's
born in the United States and went to Stanford. But
the ACC is taking credit for Katie Ladecci because Stanford's
(27:24):
now in the ACC. That to me is not fair.
But yeah, you have quite a few of these athletes
who come over to the United States. A lot of
golfers from other countries come over and go to college
at universities here. I don't have a problem with it.
You're recruiting them to come over to your university. If
you just wanted to have American born athletes, then do it.
(27:48):
But you're trying to get the best, so I have
no problem with that. Wayne in Arkansas, Hi, Wayne, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Well?
Speaker 15 (27:56):
I wanted to call and once again thank you for
telling me something knew about sports. I didn't know you
mentioned last week about handball. Well, Saturday morning, Denmark was
playing Norway and I sit down and watch the whole game.
Speaker 14 (28:12):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It is it's fun. I don't know why this isn't bigger,
a bigger sport because you can have athletes, there's mobility,
there's action, and you know you're scoring. They don't score enough,
like lacrosse scores more, it feels like than handball does.
And you had the controversial finish moments ago. Was that
Germany in France in handball? Yes, semifinals, Yes, and I
(28:38):
think France blew it. All they had to do was
kind of run out the clock and they couldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Yes, there is no more awkward positioning when you're just
watching the game as the goalkeeper in handball, during a
penalty throw penalty shot, ye, he stands in the middle
and the person who's throwing the penalty gets to pump
fake a bunch, and this dude stands and it's just
(29:06):
doing this, throws his leg up a bunch and all
this stuff, and they got pumps here and goes there.
It is the most awkward looking thing I think I've
ever seen on a sporting stage, let alone the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Supremely awkward. Yeah, but it is exciting.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I feel like they should score more in that game. Yeah,
I'm sorry. They miss way too. They missed the entire
goal so many times. It's like, dude, you're throwing it.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Yes, France hit the ball up one with six seconds
to go. All they to do is like it's like
a rapid fire inbounds. They inbounds it and inbound it.
So the coach decides that France coach calls time out,
which allows Germany to set up like a press. They
gave it up in Germany scores it's none seconds left,
none sentence overtime, nine cents overtime. They want it Germany.
(29:52):
Wow back to you.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's wild though every four years. We're every
two years because when you watch the Winter Olympics is
well you kind of see a sport and this happened
with curling where you go, wait a minute, what are
they doing? They got a rock? Wait you slide? Wait,
hold on? And I brought this up. I went to
Wisconsin Stevens Point to cover the US Olympic team for
(30:16):
curling when they had tryouts, and there was a keg
out in the kind of the foyer of the building
and I'm going, if you wanted to, I guess you
could have a beer, but there was a I just
remember there was a keg and I thought that is
amazing and just watching it and then you try to
(30:36):
do it and you fall, You fall in your face
because they make it look so easy, and then the
whole broom and you know, sweeping and all of that.
But I think we're fascinated and they really embrace this
of what kind of uniforms they have, the way they
look when they're doing it, and then you fall in
love with some of these countries, some of these teams
(30:58):
and what they do and displaying their sport, a sport
that you wouldn't like. Nobody's following curling now, but in
a couple of years you're gonna be like, eh, I
can't wait for curling. We can't wait for some sports,
but we can wait because we wait for years. I
can't wait to see that, but I'm gonna wait for
three more years to see that. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
Every Olympics, I do the same thing when it ends,
like you know what, I'm gonna start paying attention to
team handball worldwide like the league's And then five minutes
after the Lymps, I'm like, all right, moving on, let's
get some football.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Uh, Chemo in Virginia, beach, I Kemo, Hey, Danny.
Speaker 12 (31:36):
You kind of already answered your question on the Olympic
gold you know versus Harvard. You answered yourself because you
sacrificed the silver medal for dartmous own mcgloven.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, good job there, okay.
Speaker 12 (31:52):
And back to the bus. Now the bus. It's fantastic.
But he's gotta do one of your dary air also
for politic kiss night before bed too soon?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Wow, you don't kiss my ass, Todd? Does I do?
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Not?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Literally?
Speaker 14 (32:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
No, not literally.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm just joking.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I'm the one you don't want to hear from, like
and I have to have a texted email.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
But you are very nice, and you'll ask me how
I'm feeling or what's going on, you know, I'll ask
you about you know, the furniture situation with your son,
like you try to be a.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Good human being. I don't know your Meian.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
So you're saying that the other Danets aren't good human being.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I'm saying the line between a good guy and being
an las kisser.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Let's let's rank the dan Nets. That's good human beings.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I'm the minimum kindness guy, so I don't know. I'm
not all I know.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
But then there's part of you that's overly kind.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
It's very phony, very phony.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Yes, yes, hourly, I'm going to lose this one. Like
outwardly my demeanor when people have issues or health issues,
I really don't care publicly. Occasionally, though, behind the scenes,
I'll check on people or help them in a situation,
but I try to keep it on the under the wraps.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, good job.
Speaker 15 (33:10):
Seat.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What about you as a human being, I'm all right.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
I'm a c little good, little bad, generally indifferent though,
which I think hurts. I could very easily just go
get locked in my own world and be like, oh,
I forgot everybody else even exists in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Marvin, what about you? Is a human being?
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Say a B, solid B right?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Are you a good ass dude? I like to think so,
Like JJ Watt would say, you're a good ass dude.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
Yeah, help, Grahama's across the street.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, yeah, yes, I'm there.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I'm putting I don't know if I'm putting Marvin or
Todd up top of this list. If we're ranking us,
I think Marvin's up there. Though to me, there's a
clear one A one B. If that's the way we're
doing it, I would say Marvin is the good ass dude.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
I mean, Todd's a good ass dude.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
He can be He's never mean.
Speaker 15 (34:05):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That's not mean.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
I could be sarcastic and passive aggressive, but I don't
know if that necessarily translates to a mean but I
can flirt with meanness.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Are you a good ass dude?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I think I am. But if I'm pushed, I can
show a mean side, which I rather not. But if
you push me, then I guess.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Todd's got good ass dude qualities for sure.
Speaker 11 (34:24):
Yeah, yes, and Paulie definitely has good ass dude qualities
to him. I think the outward you know, the Paulie
mystique or whatever you're want to call it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
You know, I've often found myself.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
Yeah, it's very stoic at times, and but for the
most part, Hey, how's it going.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
I got you a breakfast sandwich. Thank you. I would
have never thought about getting you a breakfast sandwich. Thank you,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Paulie.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
All righty, we accomplish zero, but uh, we'll come three
minutes though, Yeah we did.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
When let's go. When we come back, we're gonna play
the Brandon NYUK game. Final results of the poll question,
what we learned? What's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Right after this, 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 (35:14):
Kevin Durant had eleven points for Team USA yesterday he
surpassed Lisa Leslie to become the top scorer in American
Olympic history. Pretty cool to see. And it was on
this date in twenty twenty one where he had twenty
nine to lead Team USA to its fourth consecutive gold
medal with a five point win against France. Last call
(35:36):
for phone calls, what we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
We'll play the Brandon Nayut game. I think we might
have a retraction here, Yes, Tod, I do.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Got to get something off my chest because the guilt
is just killing me.
Speaker 9 (35:47):
Right before the show started, you had mentioned, I guess
in the hall, but the three thousand hits and how
many guys or who were the ones that hit home
runs to reached a three thousand hit?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
So I was the suffering suck attack. So I was
looking that up.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
And while I was looking that up, something came up
about triples and I had forgotten the specific names at
first when I sent it, but then I guess it
was stuck in the back of my mind. And that's
how I must have guessed Paul Malder because Malder and
each hero were on my email that I'm looking at
from eight fifty four am Eastern Time. Only players hit
a triple for hit number three thousand, So I guess.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I was Almos cheating. I asked you directly, I said,
did you see this before?
Speaker 9 (36:24):
And at that moment I don't think I did, or
I got nervous that I was. I thought I could
get away with it. But then I realized, you know what,
I think I sent something so much.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
So that you you thought you could get away with it.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I think what happened was I had.
Speaker 9 (36:34):
Poor name floating at the back of my mind, and
then I came to realize the reason I had paulm
On in the back of my mind is because that
was at the bottom of an email about triples for
three thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
All right, well, thank you. I'm glad.
Speaker 9 (36:44):
I was to a wild random guess like why would
pull them out to be somewhere flowing around in my head.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's that's why I was questioning, I'm.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Still a good ass dude, or am I just a
cheater and dishonest?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
You your good ass cheaters as we got the.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Pressure to come forward, and maybe it's not all that.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
How about we play the Brandon Nayuk game. Let's do that,
all right, Brandon Ayuk will be a Niner, Steeler, brown
other to start this season, Todd, I.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
Think San Francisco is gonna keep them. How about that?
Probably not gonna happen, but I'm gonna go with that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I don't. I don't. I don't know if it warranted
getting excitement excited because I know no.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
One else probably thinks that he's still gonna I'm taking I'm.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Taking Seaton Brandon Nyuk. I'll tell you what I think.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
How about the I'm just trying to imagine what his
name looks like on the back of a jersey, and
I'm seeing the Pittsburgh Steelers, Okay, Marvin.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
I'm gonna say the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
Oh okay, Pauline Browns have a little more cap room.
I'm going Browns.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
I'm gonna go Browns. Is there desperate and they have
somebody the Niners would take in return in Marie Cooper.
So I'm gonna say the Browns, and my second pick
would probably be the forty nine Ers. Alex In Texas. Hi, Alex,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (38:16):
Alex is Alex Rodrigers from BRONSW with Texas Dan, first
time caller.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
I just have a couple of questions.
Speaker 16 (38:22):
It's regarding to Dallas Cowboys. I know you guys are
tired of hearing about the Cowboys, but my question to
you Den is a do you agree with me that
it's time that we get past Dak Prescott. We don't
need to sign them. I think he's just going to
finish the year.
Speaker 14 (38:38):
I think it's time to reset.
Speaker 16 (38:39):
And reroale smick on that our receiver seed lamb. I
think it's time to let him go that and I
think we should go after Michael Parsons and sign them up.
What do you guys think? I'm gonna hang up and
here you guys and first time caller.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Nice to meet you.
Speaker 16 (38:54):
Then as and then God bless you guys.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Well, thank you Alex, thank you. Oh yeah, we preferred
to not talk about the Cowboys unless we really need
to talk about the Cowboys as opposed to there's nothing
else to talk about, So let's talk about the Cowboys.
Then let Dak play this year. Well, roll the dice
if you're Jerry Jones, ce Ed Lamb roll the dice
(39:17):
Fiander achieves great, that wouldn't be my business philosophy. Dak
was legitimately an MVP candidate last year. CD Lamb a
top five receiver and Micah Parsons a top five defensive player.
You draft these guys to have them get to this
point where they are valuable, where they are great. This
(39:40):
is what you want. Unless you say, hey, we're so
good at scouting, We'll get another CD Lamb, We'll get
another Dak Prescott. If that's the case, let them all go, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
And all this just to lose at home in a
wildcart round next year soon.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, but this is the case. Jerry's in his eighties.
He's to win now. Does he want to win now?
Can he win now?
Speaker 12 (40:04):
So?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I would be signing them up if you truly believe
that they're irreplaceable, if you think you're so good at scouting,
let him go. We're gonna find out. Let's see go
around the room what we learn on the program. Dwayne
Wade's going to join us tomorrow on the program South
pal Antonio on what was or maybe still is a
mess with the Philadelphia Eagles, Todd, would you learn today.
Speaker 9 (40:28):
In the AFC the Texans are like the cute puppy
we take notice of, while the vicious protective dog is
your Kansas City Chiefs?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
All right? See no O'Connor lair bust, Well, moving forward,
I know he's got to change his name. It's right
there in front of him. And he went to college
with Steve Young. Imagine you're a teammate of Steve Young
at BYU and then you're going to do his Hall
of Fame bust amazing, Marvin, what'd you learn today?
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Chris Sims thinks his dad was a better QB than
Eli Manning.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Paulie, what did you learn today?
Speaker 8 (40:56):
Paul Mallerd got a triple for him?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
No idea.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
You must have looked that up ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
What a cheater?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
What did I learn?
Speaker 9 (41:05):
We'll be watching the body language on the sidelines this
season between Nick Siriani and Jalen Hurts.
