sandwiches with curly fries. Who has it better than we do?

But Fritzy the Minister of Humors here seating in the

And this first hour brought to you by the great

(00:47):
a slighter Sunday. Whole question, Play of the day, stat
of the Day. Ross Tucker, our good buddy. He was
on the call last night, the radio call for the
Lions and the Packers. Booger McFarlane of the Mothership. He
covers college foot in the NFL. He'll join us a
little bit later on as well, and expecting to hear
from Adam Sandler as well. Today is the final day
(01:07):
of the Happy Gilmore two movie shoot in New Jersey,
and morale is high. I got a chance to do
my scene yesterday. My thanks to Ryan Leaf who sat
in the chair yesterday. But Sandman will probably join us.
I know that they are still wrapping things up, but
had a lot of fun yesterday. Long day on set,
and we posted some pictures on social media. Sandler gets
(01:30):
a big kick out of me wearing a mustache, and
he said, Danny, you're not going to play yourself. We'll
put a mustache on you. Yeah. Nobody's going to be
able to tell the difference there, like if AD's an actor.
I did, Oh that's Dan Patrick, didn't even recognize him.
Sandler said, you gotta have a mustache. So I got
a mustache and I play a sports anchor. Yes, Marvin,
(01:51):
were you in character? Were you in character of the
entire day? Pretty much? I try to be yeah, which
wasn't difficult. I just had to be me pretty much.
But it was Uh, there's I get a lot of
camera time right now. I'm curious what happens once we
get closer to them putting the movie together. And I think, now,
(02:12):
I don't know this for sure, but there's already been
some talk. John Day mentioned that the movie might be
out in March or April. I thought it was going
to be July, so maybe I can pin Sandler down.
But it might come out in time for the Masters,
is what I'm thinking, because it obviously is a golf movie.
There's a lot of cameos there. Yeah, Seden, So there's
(02:34):
one of those things where you shot a lot of footage. Yes,
not really sure what's going to end up in there.
What's your been what's been your experience with that so far?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Whilst in your.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Wedding career? Usually a lot of a kids cut. Yeah,
a lot of a gets cut because they probably are going, uh,
you know, maybe you could throw in another scene where
Sandler's on screen a little bit more, or Julie bow
And from Modern Fam instead of me, which I get.
I understand that. You know, focus groups tell you those
kind of things. But Standley gave me a lot of
(03:08):
lines to read. I know that. How'd you do? I
think I did pretty well? Yeah? Yeah, I played a
sports anchor. I did it pretty well. I mean it's
a stretch, but I was able to do it.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It feels like you should be able to just dive
right into that one.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I did. I did make it your own. I said,
if you if you put a tie and a suit
on me, I'm in character, like I'm ready to go.
And so then they throughout these wild lines Danny, how
about you say this? Danny, how about you say this?
And then you do all of those things. So it
was a seven am to seven pm day on set
(03:44):
in New Jersey. Is it Munaki? Is that the munachi
or Munaki Munaki? Yeah? And then I had a scene
out in Florham Park. Yeah. Yeah, I had never been
there before. All right, let's go. Don't need to go
back there again. But I got to do it. So
I two different, two different sets that I had to
(04:05):
be on with my character there. All right. Yeah, one
more question.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Were you acting like yourself as a sports anchor?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Or?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Were you doing an impression of someone else?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I was trying to I was trying to mock the
sports center anchor. So I was going a little bit
over the top and a little more serious, and maybe
not my snarky self there, but it's okay. They didn't
even give me the script for a happy Gilmore too.
I still haven't seen the script. I get there, Sandler's
(04:38):
explaining to me what my role is or how my
role fits in. I go, sam, Man, why didn't you
send me the script? Because Danny can't trust anybody. I go,
I'm in the movie. And then he goes, I know,
Danny can't even trust you. I go, okay. So all
of a sudden, you know, he told me, Danny there's
a plot twist, and I'm going, come on, sad man,
(05:00):
it's a Sandler movie. Wow. And then all of a sudden, oh,
I was like, oh damn, there's a plot twist here.
There is a true plot twist that I was shocked at.
But there are a lot of cameos. We'll see if
Sandler will spill some tea when he joins us a
little bit later on. All right, whole question today seating
for the first hour.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, this has been the probably the hottest topic this morning.
Uh in studio even in the back room. Is a
Spentura a sports movie? Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Okay? Yesterday? In between scenes, I'm in my double banger
they call it. I was in my my whatever, my
mobile home or something, and I flipped on TV. There
wasn't much to watch, and I see ace Ventura Pet
Detective and I go, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna watch
a little bit. Then I ended up watching the whole
(05:51):
movie because there's a lot of time in between scenes,
and I thought, is this is sports movie? Because there's
a kicker, there's Dan Marino there, like it's sports themed
around the Dolphins. And I said, if Diehard is a
Christmas movie, ace venture A Pet Detective is a sports movie. Yes, yes, Marvin,
(06:14):
if you say so, oh you disagree.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
No, it's just a backdrop. Uh, it's it's not like
the Dolphins are in the backdrop. It's not about a
quart I mean, it is about a quarterback, you know,
but it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No, no, okay, it's okay, it's okay, you can say that.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But yeah, when I watched it, and Courtney Cox looks gorgeous,
so and Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, you know, it's it's
a lot of fun, like you forget sometimes I watch
Dumb and Dumber and you realize how funny he used
to be. In living color. He was being really a
brilliant comedian. You don't see him in those roles anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yes, Martin, Yes, sorry to go on a little riff,
but to go on a little riff right nineteen ninety four,
Jim Carrey nineteen ninety six, Michael Jordan twenty thirteen, Lebron
ninety four, Kim Elaijuwan. He's had one of those types
of years where he had Dumb and Dumber, the mask
and as Ventser all in the same year.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Wow, can anybody rival that in recent history? Are you
talking about one year or are we talking about three years?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I feel like Tim Lincecum from twenty ten to twenty
fourteen or so had one of the most dominant stretches
a player could possibly have, and then completely disappeared.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Okay, is there anybody else who had that window?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yes, Martin, Joe Peshi from maybe ninety to ninety five.
Goodfellas and Home Alone came out in the same year.
My cousin Vinny ooh ooh, leave the weapon, dang Casino all.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
In that five your window like, that's that's Terrell Davis,
that's Sandy KOFAXX.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Like you know, and especially too because Joe Pesci really
showed his range throughout that time in all of those roles.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
He really, you.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Know, he is one of those actors when you see
him so many diverse performances right there that Hey, look
at Joe PESHI played Joe Pesci in another movie there.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Just give him a suit a couple of you know,
witty lines.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, Okay, when was Truman with Jim Carrey? Was that
in a like a five year window here? Is that
what we're allocating a five year window of unbelievable hits
acting performances? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I feel like his window is actually long, like wider
than that or longer than that, because he he had
like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, which was also
he went into like being an actor.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, hmm, a little more, yes.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Mark Truman Show's nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, So is that in the window. Are we looking
at five year windows here with great actors?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Yeah? Maybe? And what about Eddie Murphy?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, Running Trading.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Places, forty eight hours, Coming to America, Beverly Hills, Cop
one and two underrated sequel, pretty good, fairly decent stretch.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, pretty good window there.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
The Golden Child. I like the gold No, I like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Them not good. By the way, we support small businesses
and a lot of our products are made by small
business owners. We have our Pennies Bang Biscuits made by
Sunbeam General in New Jersey, Gilgamesh Brewing in Oregon for
the new audible ale beer Where's My Shirt? Also an
Oregon White Dog Distilling in Rhode Island. They make the
Tailgate Moonshine. When you shop at Danpatrick dot com, you're
(09:55):
also helping support these small businesses all over the country
Patrick dot com. All right, what other poll questions do
we have aside from the hard hitting one that you let.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Off with the Lions going for it on fourth down?
Is a good idea or bad idea?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm looking at the numbers here and a lot of
times we'll say we've said this before down through the years,
the decades I've covered sports. That team has to learn
how to get over the hump. The Pistons they couldn't
get by the bulls, and then they got by the
bulls and never looked back, get by the Celtics. Then
you get by the Celtics, you never looked back, or
the bulls couldn't get by the Celton I mean, we've
(10:32):
seen this with a variety of teams. Normally it's basketball,
sometimes it's football. But here are the Lions again going
forward on fourth down, and you go back to last
year's NFC title game. You're up twenty four to seven.
But this is the philosophy of this coach. I don't
know if I can say, don't have that philosophy. Once
you get to a certain situation, if this is who
(10:54):
you are, this is who your team is, this is
what your team is geared for, then do it. You
live by it, you die by it. And there's a
feeling almost as you're a high stakes gambler. Dan Campbell
is sitting there at the craps table or blackjack, and
he's probably doubling down when you go what are you doing?
(11:16):
Or he's taken a hit on six teens. Like there's
just moments and the high can be the highest of
highs and the low can be obviously a loss. But
you look at the fourth down situations. In two games
against Green Bay this season, the Lions are six for
seven on fourth down with four touchdowns, the four fourth
down touchdowns most by any team against an opponent in
(11:39):
a single season in twenty four years.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Stand of a day stand a day stand of a day.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Stanta Day. This is the stule of the day. And
since Dan Campbell took over as the coach, that's twenty
twenty one. The Lions lead the NFL and fourth down
attempts one forty fourth down conversions seventy seven, so that's
a fifty five percent success rate, but that is thirteenth
(12:13):
in the league over that span. Here is Dan Campbell,
the Lions head coach, on his brand of football. Look.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I told the guys knew, players knew, coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the wave. You know. We could
be up two scores, we could be down two scores,
and but just because we're one or the other, we
got to play our style of game, going in what
we felt like we need to do, what I felt
like we needed to do. And so that meant the
risk was there, and you know, and you fell in
(12:42):
negative territory, you got you know, you're trying to hold
him to a field goal. But I knew that was
that was how I wanted to play that team with where.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
We were at.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Here's the Packers head coach Matt Lafleur on why his
team lost. He got to play better.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
So I think there are some areas that we can
really look at this where we have to improve upon,
you know, situationally, like third down that was critical and
then not coming away with a touchdown there at the
end in the red area that was tough as well.
But I think really offensively and defensively, the third and
(13:17):
fourth down was probably the difference in the game.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Packers are now nine to four, the Lions are twelve
and one. They still have a pretty tough schedule the
rest of the year. They have a game with Buffalo
coming up really soon. But the Lions, Are they the
best team in the NFC? Are they the best team
in the NFL? I think if you're the best team
in the NFC, you're the best team in the NFL.
It's just a weird feeling I have, and I know
(13:42):
that we talk about this. Players talk about it, Coaches
talk about it. Can you peak too soon? Can you
peak too soon? And I want to talk to Ross
Tucker and Booger McFarlane about that, because it sometimes there's
two schools of thought that you see these teams who
all of a sudden pick up momentum may not win
(14:03):
their division, but they're going to go on a run
and they're going to win five in a row going
into the playoffs. They've been fighting for playoffs survival. Those
are the teams who go far. They do damage. Sometimes
you build up that lead and then you have some
meaningless games at the end of the season, which may
happen for the Lions, and then we see those teams
have a hard time getting it started, turning on the
(14:24):
flipping the switch, and that might happen to the Lions again.
I think the Eagles right now are better than the Lions,
but it's only because I look at the Eagles as
not as banged up as the Lions. The Lions are
bringing in defensive players like they're trying to piece this together.
Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, has done a wonderful job there,
But it still feels like that team has got to
(14:45):
outscore you. It's about their offense, because I don't think
they can rely on their defense being stout, weaken and
weak out when we get to the playoffs. But the
Eagles feel like the most balanced team in football, at
least right now.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yes, where do you put the Chiefs in your sort
of power rankings of teams. If Lines are one, right,
Eagles are two, how far back do you get before
you hit the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Out of respect, out of respect for Andy and Patrick Mahomes.
They're in the top five.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
So you still have the Bills.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Bills. The Bills have been a better team. I mean,
whether you say, well, what are they going to be
in the playoffs that you know they can't get over
the hump in the playoffs. I understand all of that.
This is regular season right now, the eye test, and
you can make a case, can make a case the
Steelers might be better than the Chiefs playing better than
the Chiefs. I know that there's always that asterisk, and
(15:47):
that asterisk is Patrick Mahomes everything, and then there's the
butt if they get in. When they get in, who
do they play? And are they hosting playoff games? But
just the eye test doesn't mean how this plays out
at the end of the year. I picked the Lines
to win the Super Bowl. But if you said that
Philly one can't City one now Buffalo, I would be
(16:08):
a little surprised if they were able to piece those
games together. But you know, here's the team that's already
clinched their division, you're going to have home field advantage,
but are you going to be able to turn it
back on once the playoffs start because you'll have that opportunity
to have a first round by So those are the
things that would concern me. Now as we head into,
(16:31):
you know, the final five weeks of the regular season,
what is going to happen, Who's healthy, who's getting healthy?
You know, any chance Aiden Hutchinson is able to come
back for the playoffs, maybe the Super Bowl. But I
still look at the Eagles as maybe the most balanced
team in football. Doesn't mean they're the best, but they're
the most balanced, and with what I see eye test wise,
(16:53):
they're probably best in the NFC.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yes, Yeah, it's interesting when you start looking at those
teams too, just talking about you have some combination of Lions, Bills, Chiefs, Eagles.
Right then you have say another combination of Steelers Vikings, Packers.
At some point now you're looking, you still haven't mentioned
the Ravens. Ravens are probably some They're still a top
(17:19):
ten team for sure, but they don't scare you as
much as as maybe they did at the beginning of
the season.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, the Chargers might know who they are better than
the Ravens do for some reason, yes, but it's because
the Ravens don't play defense. Like you have to have
one of those great games, like you go out there
and you got a score. You can't kick field goals.
So you got a field goal kicker who can't kick
right now. So that's the fun part of this. You're
trying to piece together a Rubik's cube. How much time
(17:48):
do you have before we get to the postseason. Your
phone calls are welcome. We'll get to those coming up.
We'll take a break just getting started on this Meet Friday.

Paulie of course, as I mentioned, is out for today.
We were looking at five year run for an actor.
(18:53):
How did we get started on? This was a Jim
Carrey that led us to this because his Ace Venture
a pet detective sports movie, and I said, sure, if
Diehard is a Christmas movie, then it's a sports movie.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yes, Marvin, Yes, And then we went off the rails
real fast.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
That was a sharp left turn, so.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
All of a sudden, Joe Peshy had a Sandy Kofax
run very much so Harrison Ford, I'd put up there.
I'd have to look at the number of movies. Michael
Douglass had an incredible run. Tom Hanks had an incredible run.
To me more, my fantasy football friend she had an
(19:33):
incredible run as well. Yes, I don't know if we.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Could just squeeze it into five years necessarily because a
lot of these people have had obviously great careers. But
Denzel Washington had a run of every movie was a
banger Banger, Malcolm X Philadelphia back to back basically ninety two,
ninety three, Crimson Titus Fun He's had a hell of
(19:59):
a career, Yes he has.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Yes, Todd Harrison Ford from seventy nine to eighty five.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
More American Graffiti, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders
of the Lost Arc, Blade Runner, Star Wars, Return of
the Jedi, Indiana Jones, Templa, Doom, and Witness all between seven.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Boom ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yes, Marmon Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. That's
like Kobe and Lebron in the Olympics in two thousand
and eight. You get both of those guys at the
height of their powers in the same movie.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
And Antonio Banderas.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And Antonio Bedez.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
He's like Dwayne Wade.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, we didn't know he'd be Chris Bosh. Yeah, Yeah,
he's Chris Bosh. Wow. How about some we're off the
rails already if you're over under was the first thirty
minutes you took the under so Booger McFarlane. A little
(20:55):
bit later on The Sandman as well. Bill Belichick apparently
interviewed with North Caro Carolina, and I went, okay, I'm
all ears here, and I think Bill found out that
maybe there weren't as many job opportunities last year. We
thought he was going to the Falcons, and then all
of a sudden it was like, uh, nope, not going
to the Falcons, and then he was going to sit out.
(21:16):
I still said at the time, I still believe that
he's not going to coach again. Now it might not
be his decision because he might go I don't want
to coach that situation. And when I saw that he
interviewed at North Carolina, and I thought, okay, career underachievers
at North Carolina usually get a couple of first round
(21:37):
draft picks there every year. But does Bill want to
go if he's gone? Now, if you said he was
going to coach lacrosse or high school football in Annapolis, Maryland,
I'd go, I see it, Bill Belichick to North Carolina.
I go, No, don't see it at all. But who
knows what Bill is thinking at his age? What is
he going to be seventy three years of age? And yes,
(21:59):
you have to at least mention that of how long
is he going to You just got rid of Mac Brown,
and granted Mac Brown is nowhere near Bill Belichick, but
you're getting somebody of a similar age going into a
system that seems to be chewing up and spitting out
the older coaches.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah see that's yeah, yeah, exactly what I was going
to say. You just fired a guy that was seventy
three to replace him with a guy that's seventy two.
You know, I don't know if how that impacts Bill
Belichick's ability to get that job, but coaches seem to
be getting younger.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You know, well, we're seeing the older coach who just
doesn't want to do this. Now, that's because they grew
up in a different climate. When it came to college athletics,
you weren't transferring you. If you got money, it was
under the table like that. You know, it's changed. The
landscape has changed dramatically, as we all know. Does Bill
Belichick want to be part of the transfer portal in NIL?
(22:54):
Because when you're in the NFL, you can make a
case that coaching in the NFL is easier than coaching
in college from everything that you have to deal with.
You got to deal with boosters, you got to deal
with nil. Now, you can have a GM, you're going
to have an athletic director, you can have you know, boosters,
but it still comes back to you and you're dealing
(23:15):
with eighteen year olds. In the NFL, you're dealing with
twenty two year olds or twenty three year olds or
twenty four or you get the veteran who's thirty five,
whatever it might be. It feels like the NFL might
have less moving parts than college football.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You could also probably make the case then that there's
nobody better prepared for something like what the changes in
college football than someone like Bill Belichick or an NFL coach.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He would make himself ready for it. I just don't
he still wants to surpass least. I believe Don Shula
in the all time victory list.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
How would you not want that?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yes, right, it's that close. Why would you go to
North Carolina? Now, I understand North Carolina, it's a win.
You're like, Damn Belichick's interested. He'd do an interview. Now,
I don't know if he's doing somebody a favor there.
I don't know if maybe he's actually looking at this going.
I got to be open to everything. Not just when
the Cowboys job opens up, or he's not going to
(24:13):
the Jets Jacksonville, you want to go to Jacksonville. I
don't know how many opportunities are the Bears going to
bring him in. And you know what, it finally came
out that the Bears they didn't interview Jim Harball. That
Harball and I was told this by a great source.
Harball wanted the Bears. He wanted to That's one of
(24:35):
those when I broke the news that Brady wanted to
go to the Bears before he went to Tampa, and
then every you know, all these Chicago Bears fans were like,
oh my god, you imagine if we would have had Brady.
There's these moments where like Lebron was going to the Knicks.
We were led to believe when he did the Boys
Club press conference he was going to the Knicks. Now,
(24:58):
there was a podcast with Carmelo Anthony and Carmelo talked
about Kobe wanted to go to the Knicks and what
year was that was that he was with WOJ and
they talked about this was this like twenty thirteen?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Marvin, Yeah, I think it was about twenty thirteen.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Kobe's contract was then flux with the Lakers, and Woje
was just a guest on seven PM at Brooklyn Carmelo
Anthony Show, and he talked about Kobe possibly wanting to
play for the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Home boy, and you're still getting a relatively high end Kobe. Here,
here is the sound from Carmelo and woj It's funny.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
Kobe always thought he was convinced he was gonna end
up with the Knicks.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
This is real.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
He goes, they're gonna amnesty me and no one's gonna
claim on waivers and I'm gonna go sign with a Knicks.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
I just fell like a twelve gas.
Speaker 10 (25:46):
I said, like, they were not going to amnesty you.
I said, they'll burn this city down. He loved the
Lakers and he only ever really wanted to be there.
He would fantasize about the gardens.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
That's all he talked about.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
So that's Mellow talking about the twelve game to his
chest there Now that woj is telling him that Kobe
wanted to go there. Now, the Knicks usually collect or
at least they used to. They'd collect players when they
were past their prime and you had to spend a
lot of money on them. And they had that Washington
Wizards kind of feel of you know, you're going there,
(26:17):
but they're not a good team and it's kind of
a no man's land. They had those runs where they're like,
oh my god, they got Allen Houston or Steve Francis,
like all of these players, and you go, can they play? Yes?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Mark.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
The crazy thing about the Knicks is you don't want
to play for the Knicks. You want to play at
the Garden. That's one of the few teams where the
building is more important than the franchise.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It is, You're right, I mean, certainly in the last
whatever how many decades when people talk about, hey, I
can't wait to play in the Garden, it's not I
can't wait to play for the Knicks. It's I can't
wait to play in the Garden. What other building do
athletes do basketball players talk about they can't wait to
play in that building? I think there's any other. And
(27:01):
a lot of these buildings, you know, have been renamed,
refurbished the whole, it's still the garden. But yeah, Kobe
there with mellow Jeremy Lynn, was he still be in
there too, He would have gotten between them. Yes, I
guess Amari Stodomar. Yeah, you got to go all in on.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I wonder if the Garden, I know it's losing some
of that, but how much of that lore does it
still have?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It does to us, but not these younger players, I
don't think, because that's when I thought. I thought that
you were going to have Kyrie and Kadi go to
the Garden. I thought, why are you going to Brooklyn?
Like nobody cares about Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, I thought for sure Lebron was going to sign
with the Knicks at some point, and he ended up,
you know, at the Lakers obviously, but yes, but if.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You're of a certain age, you remember the Garden that
it meant something and you don't have to be that old.
But still it just doesn't. I mean, they're getting a
little bit of that back, maybe a little bit more
of that back then we'll give them credit for. But
that's why I'm thinking of, you know, a guy in
his sixties going, of course you want to play when
(28:12):
you win in the Garden. Nobody cares if the Nets
win a championship. They truly don't. That's going to sound crazy.
Nobody in New York would care. It just wouldn't if
the Knicks win. I mean, you own the city. And
I thought that KD and Kyrie would go, let's go in,
let's bring this building back to life.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Here.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
There's no life in Brooklyn other than it's a great
life to live in Brooklyn. But you go into you know,
playing for the Nets, and it's like, oh, it's great.
It's like playing for the New Jersey Net and like
nobody cared.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Yes, Mark, And for fifty sixty years before the Nets
came to Brooklyn, the Knicks were the only team. There
was only one NBA team. Every other sport had two,
like the Islanders in the Rangers, the Mets and the Yankees,
the Giants and the Jets. There was only one NBA
team in New York. So the entire city rallied around
(29:08):
that one team. I remember being a kid in ninety four,
it was like, oh, they might win the NBA title
and they're up three to two, and then the team happens.
But everybody this everyone was buzzing and it was just
a real thing. And so but not so much anymore.
If you're twenty, you don't really know what the garden
rocking really looks like.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now, even going back to the big East, when the
Big East played there, when Saint John's played there, Georgetown
came there. I mean that was the building. The building
was the Star. Jerry in North Carolina. Hi Jerry, good morning.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (29:45):
Oh? Hey, So I just want to add to add
a name to the actors with the amazing stretch run.
So back in the seventies, John Cavell was in five
movies and only five movies. Was Fredo and the Godfather
and Godfather Part two. He was in my favorite Gene
(30:06):
Hackman movie, The Conversation, He was with Paccino, and Dog
Day Afternoon, and his final film was The Deer Hunter.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And he was dating Meryl Streep at the time, I believe,
or married to her, So I would have to factor
that in as well. Now, he wasn't the star in
any of those, but he was involved in that's pretty
good stretch. And then he died, you know, in the seventies.
I think I don't think he was very old. Yes time.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
I was looking at Tom Hanks from ninety two to
around ninety nine, A League of their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia,
Forrest Gump, a pall of thirteen toy story that thing
you do, saving Private Ryan Toy, Story two, The Green
Wild Castaway, all between ninety two and the late ninety
nine early two.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
About a round of applause there for that resident almost
rivals mine with my Sandler movies Tom in North Carolina,
Hi Tom.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
Okay, DP, I got two actors. One of them is
for Fritzie. We got stallone early eighties, late late seventies,
early eighties, five year stretch, got all the Rocky movies, Rambow, Cobra,
and the other actor is Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Late eighties.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
You got the two Conan movies.
Speaker 14 (31:22):
Fred.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
I'm missing one total recall missing another one. But yeah,
a Terminator, Terminator two.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay. I think there was Judge Dredd in there too.
Robert Redford had a good run. If you're old enough
to remember Redford. Uh yeah, But we were looking at
five year windows here and Joe Peshi's name, Now, he
wasn't the lead. Was he the lead in any of those?
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Yes, Marv Joe Pesci, Yeah, my cousin Vinnie.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, but that yeah, you're right, he was the lead.
But Marie to May became the lead. Marisa Tomey stole
the movie right there in front of you spectacular? Yes
she was, yes, yes, Also Marisito may in.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Anything and Everything, Spider Man life in general.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Yes, yeah, the first season of a Different World.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
What was she in the movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman
and Ethan.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Oh, The Devil Knows You're Dead?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead?
Speaker 7 (32:29):
Yeah, spectacular even now and Spider Man.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
How about this? Here's Will Ferrell from three to seven?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Did he just text that to you? I mean, Dan,
I've been waiting for you guys to get to my name.
Speaker 11 (32:46):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know what I'm gonna say you that's a good line. Uh,
And yes, maybe he did. Okay, I'm gonna take a break.
I'm gonna take a break. I'm gonna come back because
this this is a pretty good run here as well,
and Adam Sandler a little bit later on, as I
got to shoot my cameo yesterday. You know, I don't
know when it's not a cameo, when it is a cameo,
(33:08):
and when it's not. I don't know what that definition is.
It felt like a movie part yesterday, not a cameo.
But sad Man a little later on, We'll take a break.

More phone calls coming up. Buddha and San Francisco. Welcome
back Buddha.
Speaker 14 (36:16):
No Boddy, happy to meet, Friday Boys, Play night Fritzy,
Dan real quick. The Great Western Forum was quite the venue,
just saying, but I'm in in on the asan tur
being a sports movie and DP Jim Carrey also got
(36:36):
to do the Mask movie with Cameron Diaz in her
Heyday from Bulking. But Dan, when I saw you were
out yesterday, I was a little worried until I saw
the pics of you on the set with Sandler yesterday
with that mustache. I mean, I have to say, I'd
love to see what DP nation thinks. But you look
(36:57):
like a younger, skinnier brother of Andy Reid. And I
saw you and I was like, that looks like Andy
Reid's a little brother. I'm like, that's crazy. But Dan,
I just want to recall the Andrew Lucky interview earlier
this week and I'm certain that Dan Nation listens intently
(37:19):
like I do when you interview certain people. And it
was a perfect example of your style of questioning. And
you're interviewing prowess, Dan, like because when you were you
were like in mid season four, like when you asked
him if he was a football player or a guy
who was just good at football. I mean, his silence
(37:39):
was compelling. It was like as if though his silence
was screaming out loud, like that he just prayed that
the Lord would just deliver him from the question and football.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Thank you, Budha, very nice of you. Have a good weekend.
Good luck with the restaurant. Brad in Connecticut, Hi, Brad,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (37:58):
Good morning, Dan Dannis, first time, long time, sixty solidude
fifty Dan. If Bill Belichick takes the head coaching job
at North Carolina, does his girlfriend get to be head cheerleader?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Thank you? Brat, Sure why not? She could be a
cheerleader in the NFL if she wanted to. Yeah. So
I think Bill's turning seventy three here shortly, And I
know we get caught up in age, but I think
when it gets to it, you know somebody who is
(38:34):
this age? How long do they want to coach for?
I think when you're hiring somebody and you're hiring a
younger coach, like, what's your window there? Now, we look
at Dion differently because it's not about his age, it's
just I think the opportunity to coach elsewhere. I'm hearing
way too much about Dion in the NFL to believe
that he is fully committed to Colorado. There's enough people
(38:57):
talking about this, and I've said all along, see with
the Raiders more than I could the Cowboys. I could
see him with the Raiders and Shador with you know,
as his quarterback. And Tom Brady is going to be
involved in this coaching search. So whether it happens now,
I still believe that Dion will coach in the NFL
at some point.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yes, you know what the age thing for Bill Belichick
to be is about like relating to kids.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
I know that we all chuckle about him calling it
the uh you know, the face snap and the chat
Twitter or whatever, and he jokes about that. It's like, yeah, man,
that joke was funny like twenty years ago.
Speaker 7 (39:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I mean, like there's nobody who's confused about what Facebook
is right now? Really there really isn't everybody knows what
Facebook is. I don't know that an eighteen year old
kid or a seventeen sixteen year old kid that you're
talking to right now and you sit down in their
living room and they're.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Like, so are you on the ticks?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Snap, Like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Dude? Who thinks that Belichick is really interested in North Carolina? No?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
No, you know, I think when you said maybe he's
doing somebody a favor, man, did that make a lot
of sense?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
It made them relevant? I mean, all of a sudden,
it's like, oh wow, okay, I just you know, he
has unfinished business in the NFL from the standpoint of
becoming the all time victories leader. And I think Don Shula,
you know, before he died, obviously had some things to
say about Belichick and cheating, and Belichick might be like,
(40:25):
I'm going to end up with more victories than you.
I don't know anything about Bill. I think I've had
a conversation. Well, you can't have a conversation if it
lasted two words. What constitutes a conversation with Hey, you
ever had a conversation with Bill Belichick? No? I think
there might have been two words. It might have been
(40:47):
maybe three get out of my way. Okay, We had
a conversation there. Ross Tucker was on the call last
night west Wood one Radio. The Lions continue to win
and are they the best team in the NFC? Can
you be peaking too soon? Ross will join us coming
(41:08):
up hour two.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's
our one. It's a meat Friday at that In case
you're wondering, and I know you are, smoky meatball palms,
sandwiches with curly fries. Who has it better than we do?
No body down a Danette Pauli is out for the day.
But Fritzy the Minister of Humors here seating in the
(00:25):
back row. Marvin upfront, yours truly in the back room,
guys as well, eight seven, seven to three DP show.
If you'd like to be part of the program. Operator
Tyler is sitting by stat of the Day brought to

And this first hour brought to you by the great
folks at Kings Hawaiian. They want you to get together
with family and friends and enjoy this Sunday. Make it
(00:47):
a slighter Sunday. Whole question, Play of the day, stat
of the Day. Ross Tucker, our good buddy. He was
on the call last night, the radio call for the
Lions and the Packers. Booger McFarlane of the Mothership. He
covers college foot in the NFL. He'll join us a
little bit later on as well, and expecting to hear
from Adam Sandler as well. Today is the final day
(01:07):
of the Happy Gilmore two movie shoot in New Jersey,
and morale is high. I got a chance to do
my scene yesterday. My thanks to Ryan Leaf who sat
in the chair yesterday. But Sandman will probably join us.
I know that they are still wrapping things up, but
had a lot of fun yesterday. Long day on set,
and we posted some pictures on social media. Sandler gets
(01:30):
a big kick out of me wearing a mustache, and
he said, Danny, you're not going to play yourself. We'll
put a mustache on you. Yeah. Nobody's going to be
able to tell the difference there, like if AD's an actor.
I did, Oh that's Dan Patrick, didn't even recognize him.
Sandler said, you gotta have a mustache. So I got
a mustache and I play a sports anchor. Yes, Marvin,
(01:51):
were you in character? Were you in character of the
entire day? Pretty much? I try to be yeah, which
wasn't difficult. I just had to be me pretty much.
But it was Uh, there's I get a lot of
camera time right now. I'm curious what happens once we
get closer to them putting the movie together. And I think, now,
(02:12):
I don't know this for sure, but there's already been
some talk. John Day mentioned that the movie might be
out in March or April. I thought it was going
to be July, so maybe I can pin Sandler down.
But it might come out in time for the Masters,
is what I'm thinking, because it obviously is a golf movie.
There's a lot of cameos there. Yeah, Seden, So there's
(02:34):
one of those things where you shot a lot of footage. Yes,
not really sure what's going to end up in there.
What's your been what's been your experience with that so far?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Whilst in your.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Wedding career? Usually a lot of a kids cut. Yeah,
a lot of a gets cut because they probably are going, uh,
you know, maybe you could throw in another scene where
Sandler's on screen a little bit more, or Julie bow
And from Modern Fam instead of me, which I get.
I understand that. You know, focus groups tell you those
kind of things. But Standley gave me a lot of
(03:08):
lines to read. I know that. How'd you do? I
think I did pretty well? Yeah? Yeah, I played a
sports anchor. I did it pretty well. I mean it's
a stretch, but I was able to do it.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It feels like you should be able to just dive
right into that one.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I did. I did make it your own. I said,
if you if you put a tie and a suit
on me, I'm in character, like I'm ready to go.
And so then they throughout these wild lines Danny, how
about you say this? Danny, how about you say this?
And then you do all of those things. So it
was a seven am to seven pm day on set
(03:44):
in New Jersey. Is it Munaki? Is that the munachi
or Munaki Munaki? Yeah? And then I had a scene
out in Florham Park. Yeah. Yeah, I had never been
there before. All right, let's go. Don't need to go
back there again. But I got to do it. So
I two different, two different sets that I had to
(04:05):
be on with my character there. All right. Yeah, one
more question.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Were you acting like yourself as a sports anchor?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Or?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Were you doing an impression of someone else?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I was trying to I was trying to mock the
sports center anchor. So I was going a little bit
over the top and a little more serious, and maybe
not my snarky self there, but it's okay. They didn't
even give me the script for a happy Gilmore too.
I still haven't seen the script. I get there, Sandler's
(04:38):
explaining to me what my role is or how my
role fits in. I go, sam, Man, why didn't you
send me the script? Because Danny can't trust anybody. I go,
I'm in the movie. And then he goes, I know,
Danny can't even trust you. I go, okay. So all
of a sudden, you know, he told me, Danny there's
a plot twist, and I'm going, come on, sad man,
(05:00):
it's a Sandler movie. Wow. And then all of a sudden, oh,
I was like, oh damn, there's a plot twist here.
There is a true plot twist that I was shocked at.
But there are a lot of cameos. We'll see if
Sandler will spill some tea when he joins us a
little bit later on. All right, whole question today seating
for the first hour.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, this has been the probably the hottest topic this morning.
Uh in studio even in the back room. Is a
Spentura a sports movie? Yes or no?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Okay? Yesterday? In between scenes, I'm in my double banger
they call it. I was in my my whatever, my
mobile home or something, and I flipped on TV. There
wasn't much to watch, and I see ace Ventura Pet
Detective and I go, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna watch
a little bit. Then I ended up watching the whole
(05:51):
movie because there's a lot of time in between scenes,
and I thought, is this is sports movie? Because there's
a kicker, there's Dan Marino there, like it's sports themed
around the Dolphins. And I said, if Diehard is a
Christmas movie, ace venture A Pet Detective is a sports movie. Yes, yes, Marvin,
(06:14):
if you say so, oh you disagree.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
No, it's just a backdrop. Uh, it's it's not like
the Dolphins are in the backdrop. It's not about a
quart I mean, it is about a quarterback, you know,
but it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No, no, okay, it's okay, it's okay, you can say that.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But yeah, when I watched it, and Courtney Cox looks gorgeous,
so and Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, you know, it's it's
a lot of fun, like you forget sometimes I watch
Dumb and Dumber and you realize how funny he used
to be. In living color. He was being really a
brilliant comedian. You don't see him in those roles anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yes, Martin, Yes, sorry to go on a little riff,
but to go on a little riff right nineteen ninety four,
Jim Carrey nineteen ninety six, Michael Jordan twenty thirteen, Lebron
ninety four, Kim Elaijuwan. He's had one of those types
of years where he had Dumb and Dumber, the mask
and as Ventser all in the same year.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Wow, can anybody rival that in recent history? Are you
talking about one year or are we talking about three years?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I feel like Tim Lincecum from twenty ten to twenty
fourteen or so had one of the most dominant stretches
a player could possibly have, and then completely disappeared.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Okay, is there anybody else who had that window?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yes, Martin, Joe Peshi from maybe ninety to ninety five.
Goodfellas and Home Alone came out in the same year.
My cousin Vinny ooh ooh, leave the weapon, dang Casino all.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
In that five your window like, that's that's Terrell Davis,
that's Sandy KOFAXX.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Like you know, and especially too because Joe Pesci really
showed his range throughout that time in all of those roles.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
He really, you.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Know, he is one of those actors when you see
him so many diverse performances right there that Hey, look
at Joe PESHI played Joe Pesci in another movie there.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Just give him a suit a couple of you know,
witty lines.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, Okay, when was Truman with Jim Carrey? Was that
in a like a five year window here? Is that
what we're allocating a five year window of unbelievable hits
acting performances? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I feel like his window is actually long, like wider
than that or longer than that, because he he had
like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, which was also
he went into like being an actor.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, hmm, a little more, yes.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Mark Truman Show's nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, So is that in the window. Are we looking
at five year windows here with great actors?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Yeah? Maybe? And what about Eddie Murphy?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, Running Trading.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Places, forty eight hours, Coming to America, Beverly Hills, Cop
one and two underrated sequel, pretty good, fairly decent stretch.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, pretty good window there.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
The Golden Child. I like the gold No, I like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Them not good. By the way, we support small businesses
and a lot of our products are made by small
business owners. We have our Pennies Bang Biscuits made by
Sunbeam General in New Jersey, Gilgamesh Brewing in Oregon for
the new audible ale beer Where's My Shirt? Also an
Oregon White Dog Distilling in Rhode Island. They make the
Tailgate Moonshine. When you shop at Danpatrick dot com, you're
(09:55):
also helping support these small businesses all over the country
Patrick dot com. All right, what other poll questions do
we have aside from the hard hitting one that you let.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Off with the Lions going for it on fourth down?
Is a good idea or bad idea?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm looking at the numbers here and a lot of
times we'll say we've said this before down through the years,
the decades I've covered sports. That team has to learn
how to get over the hump. The Pistons they couldn't
get by the bulls, and then they got by the
bulls and never looked back, get by the Celtics. Then
you get by the Celtics, you never looked back, or
the bulls couldn't get by the Celton I mean, we've
(10:32):
seen this with a variety of teams. Normally it's basketball,
sometimes it's football. But here are the Lions again going
forward on fourth down, and you go back to last
year's NFC title game. You're up twenty four to seven.
But this is the philosophy of this coach. I don't
know if I can say, don't have that philosophy. Once
you get to a certain situation, if this is who
(10:54):
you are, this is who your team is, this is
what your team is geared for, then do it. You
live by it, you die by it. And there's a
feeling almost as you're a high stakes gambler. Dan Campbell
is sitting there at the craps table or blackjack, and
he's probably doubling down when you go what are you doing?
(11:16):
Or he's taken a hit on six teens. Like there's
just moments and the high can be the highest of
highs and the low can be obviously a loss. But
you look at the fourth down situations. In two games
against Green Bay this season, the Lions are six for
seven on fourth down with four touchdowns, the four fourth
down touchdowns most by any team against an opponent in
(11:39):
a single season in twenty four years.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Stand of a day stand a day stand of a day.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Stanta Day. This is the stule of the day. And
since Dan Campbell took over as the coach, that's twenty
twenty one. The Lions lead the NFL and fourth down
attempts one forty fourth down conversions seventy seven, so that's
a fifty five percent success rate, but that is thirteenth
(12:13):
in the league over that span. Here is Dan Campbell,
the Lions head coach, on his brand of football. Look.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I told the guys knew, players knew, coaches knew. Listen,
this is don't ride the wave. You know. We could
be up two scores, we could be down two scores,
and but just because we're one or the other, we
got to play our style of game, going in what
we felt like we need to do, what I felt
like we needed to do. And so that meant the
risk was there, and you know, and you fell in
(12:42):
negative territory, you got you know, you're trying to hold
him to a field goal. But I knew that was
that was how I wanted to play that team with where.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
We were at.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Here's the Packers head coach Matt Lafleur on why his
team lost. He got to play better.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
So I think there are some areas that we can
really look at this where we have to improve upon,
you know, situationally, like third down that was critical and
then not coming away with a touchdown there at the
end in the red area that was tough as well.
But I think really offensively and defensively, the third and
(13:17):
fourth down was probably the difference in the game.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Packers are now nine to four, the Lions are twelve
and one. They still have a pretty tough schedule the
rest of the year. They have a game with Buffalo
coming up really soon. But the Lions, Are they the
best team in the NFC? Are they the best team
in the NFL? I think if you're the best team
in the NFC, you're the best team in the NFL.
It's just a weird feeling I have, and I know
(13:42):
that we talk about this. Players talk about it, Coaches
talk about it. Can you peak too soon? Can you
peak too soon? And I want to talk to Ross
Tucker and Booger McFarlane about that, because it sometimes there's
two schools of thought that you see these teams who
all of a sudden pick up momentum may not win
(14:03):
their division, but they're going to go on a run
and they're going to win five in a row going
into the playoffs. They've been fighting for playoffs survival. Those
are the teams who go far. They do damage. Sometimes
you build up that lead and then you have some
meaningless games at the end of the season, which may
happen for the Lions, and then we see those teams
have a hard time getting it started, turning on the
(14:24):
flipping the switch, and that might happen to the Lions again.
I think the Eagles right now are better than the Lions,
but it's only because I look at the Eagles as
not as banged up as the Lions. The Lions are
bringing in defensive players like they're trying to piece this together.
Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, has done a wonderful job there,
But it still feels like that team has got to
(14:45):
outscore you. It's about their offense, because I don't think
they can rely on their defense being stout, weaken and
weak out when we get to the playoffs. But the
Eagles feel like the most balanced team in football, at
least right now.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yes, where do you put the Chiefs in your sort
of power rankings of teams. If Lines are one, right,
Eagles are two, how far back do you get before
you hit the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Out of respect, out of respect for Andy and Patrick Mahomes.
They're in the top five.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
So you still have the Bills.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Bills. The Bills have been a better team. I mean,
whether you say, well, what are they going to be
in the playoffs that you know they can't get over
the hump in the playoffs. I understand all of that.
This is regular season right now, the eye test, and
you can make a case, can make a case the
Steelers might be better than the Chiefs playing better than
the Chiefs. I know that there's always that asterisk, and
(15:47):
that asterisk is Patrick Mahomes everything, and then there's the
butt if they get in. When they get in, who
do they play? And are they hosting playoff games? But
just the eye test doesn't mean how this plays out
at the end of the year. I picked the Lines
to win the Super Bowl. But if you said that
Philly one can't City one now Buffalo, I would be
(16:08):
a little surprised if they were able to piece those
games together. But you know, here's the team that's already
clinched their division, you're going to have home field advantage,
but are you going to be able to turn it
back on once the playoffs start because you'll have that opportunity
to have a first round by So those are the
things that would concern me. Now as we head into,
(16:31):
you know, the final five weeks of the regular season,
what is going to happen, Who's healthy, who's getting healthy?
You know, any chance Aiden Hutchinson is able to come
back for the playoffs, maybe the Super Bowl. But I
still look at the Eagles as maybe the most balanced
team in football. Doesn't mean they're the best, but they're
the most balanced, and with what I see eye test wise,
(16:53):
they're probably best in the NFC.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yes, Yeah, it's interesting when you start looking at those
teams too, just talking about you have some combination of Lions, Bills, Chiefs, Eagles.
Right then you have say another combination of Steelers Vikings, Packers.
At some point now you're looking, you still haven't mentioned
the Ravens. Ravens are probably some They're still a top
(17:19):
ten team for sure, but they don't scare you as
much as as maybe they did at the beginning of
the season.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, the Chargers might know who they are better than
the Ravens do for some reason, yes, but it's because
the Ravens don't play defense. Like you have to have
one of those great games, like you go out there
and you got a score. You can't kick field goals.
So you got a field goal kicker who can't kick
right now. So that's the fun part of this. You're
trying to piece together a Rubik's cube. How much time
(17:48):
do you have before we get to the postseason. Your
phone calls are welcome. We'll get to those coming up.
We'll take a break just getting started on this Meet Friday.

Paulie of course, as I mentioned, is out for today.
We were looking at five year run for an actor.
(18:53):
How did we get started on? This was a Jim
Carrey that led us to this because his Ace Venture
a pet detective sports movie, and I said, sure, if
Diehard is a Christmas movie, then it's a sports movie.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yes, Marvin, Yes, And then we went off the rails
real fast.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
That was a sharp left turn, so.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
All of a sudden, Joe Peshy had a Sandy Kofax
run very much so Harrison Ford, I'd put up there.
I'd have to look at the number of movies. Michael
Douglass had an incredible run. Tom Hanks had an incredible run.
To me more, my fantasy football friend she had an
(19:33):
incredible run as well. Yes, I don't know if we.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Could just squeeze it into five years necessarily because a
lot of these people have had obviously great careers. But
Denzel Washington had a run of every movie was a
banger Banger, Malcolm X Philadelphia back to back basically ninety two,
ninety three, Crimson Titus Fun He's had a hell of
(19:59):
a career, Yes he has.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Yes, Todd Harrison Ford from seventy nine to eighty five.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
More American Graffiti, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders
of the Lost Arc, Blade Runner, Star Wars, Return of
the Jedi, Indiana Jones, Templa, Doom, and Witness all between seven.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Boom ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yes, Marmon Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. That's
like Kobe and Lebron in the Olympics in two thousand
and eight. You get both of those guys at the
height of their powers in the same movie.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
And Antonio Banderas.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And Antonio Bedez.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
He's like Dwayne Wade.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, we didn't know he'd be Chris Bosh. Yeah, Yeah,
he's Chris Bosh. Wow. How about some we're off the
rails already if you're over under was the first thirty
minutes you took the under so Booger McFarlane. A little
(20:55):
bit later on The Sandman as well. Bill Belichick apparently
interviewed with North Caro Carolina, and I went, okay, I'm
all ears here, and I think Bill found out that
maybe there weren't as many job opportunities last year. We
thought he was going to the Falcons, and then all
of a sudden it was like, uh, nope, not going
to the Falcons, and then he was going to sit out.
(21:16):
I still said at the time, I still believe that
he's not going to coach again. Now it might not
be his decision because he might go I don't want
to coach that situation. And when I saw that he
interviewed at North Carolina, and I thought, okay, career underachievers
at North Carolina usually get a couple of first round
(21:37):
draft picks there every year. But does Bill want to
go if he's gone? Now, if you said he was
going to coach lacrosse or high school football in Annapolis, Maryland,
I'd go, I see it, Bill Belichick to North Carolina.
I go, No, don't see it at all. But who
knows what Bill is thinking at his age? What is
he going to be seventy three years of age? And yes,
(21:59):
you have to at least mention that of how long
is he going to You just got rid of Mac Brown,
and granted Mac Brown is nowhere near Bill Belichick, but
you're getting somebody of a similar age going into a
system that seems to be chewing up and spitting out
the older coaches.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah see that's yeah, yeah, exactly what I was going
to say. You just fired a guy that was seventy
three to replace him with a guy that's seventy two.
You know, I don't know if how that impacts Bill
Belichick's ability to get that job, but coaches seem to
be getting younger.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You know, well, we're seeing the older coach who just
doesn't want to do this. Now, that's because they grew
up in a different climate. When it came to college athletics,
you weren't transferring you. If you got money, it was
under the table like that. You know, it's changed. The
landscape has changed dramatically, as we all know. Does Bill
Belichick want to be part of the transfer portal in NIL?
(22:54):
Because when you're in the NFL, you can make a
case that coaching in the NFL is easier than coaching
in college from everything that you have to deal with.
You got to deal with boosters, you got to deal
with nil. Now, you can have a GM, you're going
to have an athletic director, you can have you know, boosters,
but it still comes back to you and you're dealing
(23:15):
with eighteen year olds. In the NFL, you're dealing with
twenty two year olds or twenty three year olds or
twenty four or you get the veteran who's thirty five,
whatever it might be. It feels like the NFL might
have less moving parts than college football.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You could also probably make the case then that there's
nobody better prepared for something like what the changes in
college football than someone like Bill Belichick or an NFL coach.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He would make himself ready for it. I just don't
he still wants to surpass least. I believe Don Shula
in the all time victory list.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
How would you not want that?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yes, right, it's that close. Why would you go to
North Carolina? Now, I understand North Carolina, it's a win.
You're like, Damn Belichick's interested. He'd do an interview. Now,
I don't know if he's doing somebody a favor there.
I don't know if maybe he's actually looking at this going.
I got to be open to everything. Not just when
the Cowboys job opens up, or he's not going to
(24:13):
the Jets Jacksonville, you want to go to Jacksonville. I
don't know how many opportunities are the Bears going to
bring him in. And you know what, it finally came
out that the Bears they didn't interview Jim Harball. That
Harball and I was told this by a great source.
Harball wanted the Bears. He wanted to That's one of
(24:35):
those when I broke the news that Brady wanted to
go to the Bears before he went to Tampa, and
then every you know, all these Chicago Bears fans were like,
oh my god, you imagine if we would have had Brady.
There's these moments where like Lebron was going to the Knicks.
We were led to believe when he did the Boys
Club press conference he was going to the Knicks. Now,
(24:58):
there was a podcast with Carmelo Anthony and Carmelo talked
about Kobe wanted to go to the Knicks and what
year was that was that he was with WOJ and
they talked about this was this like twenty thirteen?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Marvin, Yeah, I think it was about twenty thirteen.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Kobe's contract was then flux with the Lakers, and Woje
was just a guest on seven PM at Brooklyn Carmelo
Anthony Show, and he talked about Kobe possibly wanting to
play for the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Home boy, and you're still getting a relatively high end Kobe. Here,
here is the sound from Carmelo and woj It's funny.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
Kobe always thought he was convinced he was gonna end
up with the Knicks.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
This is real.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
He goes, they're gonna amnesty me and no one's gonna
claim on waivers and I'm gonna go sign with a Knicks.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
I just fell like a twelve gas.
Speaker 10 (25:46):
I said, like, they were not going to amnesty you.
I said, they'll burn this city down. He loved the
Lakers and he only ever really wanted to be there.
He would fantasize about the gardens.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
That's all he talked about.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
So that's Mellow talking about the twelve game to his
chest there Now that woj is telling him that Kobe
wanted to go there. Now, the Knicks usually collect or
at least they used to. They'd collect players when they
were past their prime and you had to spend a
lot of money on them. And they had that Washington
Wizards kind of feel of you know, you're going there,
(26:17):
but they're not a good team and it's kind of
a no man's land. They had those runs where they're like,
oh my god, they got Allen Houston or Steve Francis,
like all of these players, and you go, can they play? Yes?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Mark.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
The crazy thing about the Knicks is you don't want
to play for the Knicks. You want to play at
the Garden. That's one of the few teams where the
building is more important than the franchise.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It is, You're right, I mean, certainly in the last
whatever how many decades when people talk about, hey, I
can't wait to play in the Garden, it's not I
can't wait to play for the Knicks. It's I can't
wait to play in the Garden. What other building do
athletes do basketball players talk about they can't wait to
play in that building? I think there's any other. And
(27:01):
a lot of these buildings, you know, have been renamed,
refurbished the whole, it's still the garden. But yeah, Kobe
there with mellow Jeremy Lynn, was he still be in
there too, He would have gotten between them. Yes, I
guess Amari Stodomar. Yeah, you got to go all in on.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I wonder if the Garden, I know it's losing some
of that, but how much of that lore does it
still have?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It does to us, but not these younger players, I
don't think, because that's when I thought. I thought that
you were going to have Kyrie and Kadi go to
the Garden. I thought, why are you going to Brooklyn?
Like nobody cares about Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, I thought for sure Lebron was going to sign
with the Knicks at some point, and he ended up,
you know, at the Lakers obviously, but yes, but if.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You're of a certain age, you remember the Garden that
it meant something and you don't have to be that old.
But still it just doesn't. I mean, they're getting a
little bit of that back, maybe a little bit more
of that back then we'll give them credit for. But
that's why I'm thinking of, you know, a guy in
his sixties going, of course you want to play when
(28:12):
you win in the Garden. Nobody cares if the Nets
win a championship. They truly don't. That's going to sound crazy.
Nobody in New York would care. It just wouldn't if
the Knicks win. I mean, you own the city. And
I thought that KD and Kyrie would go, let's go in,
let's bring this building back to life.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Here.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
There's no life in Brooklyn other than it's a great
life to live in Brooklyn. But you go into you know,
playing for the Nets, and it's like, oh, it's great.
It's like playing for the New Jersey Net and like
nobody cared.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Yes, Mark, And for fifty sixty years before the Nets
came to Brooklyn, the Knicks were the only team. There
was only one NBA team. Every other sport had two,
like the Islanders in the Rangers, the Mets and the Yankees,
the Giants and the Jets. There was only one NBA
team in New York. So the entire city rallied around
(29:08):
that one team. I remember being a kid in ninety four,
it was like, oh, they might win the NBA title
and they're up three to two, and then the team happens.
But everybody this everyone was buzzing and it was just
a real thing. And so but not so much anymore.
If you're twenty, you don't really know what the garden
rocking really looks like.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now, even going back to the big East, when the
Big East played there, when Saint John's played there, Georgetown
came there. I mean that was the building. The building
was the Star. Jerry in North Carolina. Hi Jerry, good morning.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (29:45):
Oh? Hey, So I just want to add to add
a name to the actors with the amazing stretch run.
So back in the seventies, John Cavell was in five
movies and only five movies. Was Fredo and the Godfather
and Godfather Part two. He was in my favorite Gene
(30:06):
Hackman movie, The Conversation, He was with Paccino, and Dog
Day Afternoon, and his final film was The Deer Hunter.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And he was dating Meryl Streep at the time, I believe,
or married to her, So I would have to factor
that in as well. Now, he wasn't the star in
any of those, but he was involved in that's pretty
good stretch. And then he died, you know, in the seventies.
I think I don't think he was very old. Yes time.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
I was looking at Tom Hanks from ninety two to
around ninety nine, A League of their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia,
Forrest Gump, a pall of thirteen toy story that thing
you do, saving Private Ryan Toy, Story two, The Green
Wild Castaway, all between ninety two and the late ninety
nine early two.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
About a round of applause there for that resident almost
rivals mine with my Sandler movies Tom in North Carolina,
Hi Tom.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
Okay, DP, I got two actors. One of them is
for Fritzie. We got stallone early eighties, late late seventies,
early eighties, five year stretch, got all the Rocky movies, Rambow, Cobra,
and the other actor is Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Late eighties.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
You got the two Conan movies.
Speaker 14 (31:22):
Fred.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
I'm missing one total recall missing another one. But yeah,
a Terminator, Terminator two.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay. I think there was Judge Dredd in there too.
Robert Redford had a good run. If you're old enough
to remember Redford. Uh yeah, But we were looking at
five year windows here and Joe Peshi's name, Now, he
wasn't the lead. Was he the lead in any of those?
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Yes, Marv Joe Pesci, Yeah, my cousin Vinnie.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, but that yeah, you're right, he was the lead.
But Marie to May became the lead. Marisa Tomey stole
the movie right there in front of you spectacular? Yes
she was, yes, yes, Also Marisito may in.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Anything and Everything, Spider Man life in general.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Yes, yeah, the first season of a Different World.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
What was she in the movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman
and Ethan.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Oh, The Devil Knows You're Dead?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead?
Speaker 7 (32:29):
Yeah, spectacular even now and Spider Man.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
How about this? Here's Will Ferrell from three to seven?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Did he just text that to you? I mean, Dan,
I've been waiting for you guys to get to my name.
Speaker 11 (32:46):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know what I'm gonna say you that's a good line. Uh,
And yes, maybe he did. Okay, I'm gonna take a break.
I'm gonna take a break. I'm gonna come back because
this this is a pretty good run here as well,
and Adam Sandler a little bit later on, as I
got to shoot my cameo yesterday. You know, I don't
know when it's not a cameo, when it is a cameo,
(33:08):
and when it's not. I don't know what that definition is.
It felt like a movie part yesterday, not a cameo.
But sad Man a little later on, We'll take a break.

buying should be. We've been talking about actors or actresses
getting on a five or six year run. Here's Will
Ferrell from three to seven, Old school Elf Starsky and
Hutch Anchorman kicking and screaming Wedding Crashers, the producers Talladega Knights,
Blade's of glory stranger than fiction. So if I just
(36:01):
look at old school Elf Anchorman wedding Crashers, Talladega Nights
has some big time box office stuff there, all right,
More phone calls coming up. Buddha and San Francisco. Welcome
back Buddha.
Speaker 14 (36:16):
No Boddy, happy to meet, Friday Boys, Play night Fritzy,
Dan real quick. The Great Western Forum was quite the venue,
just saying, but I'm in in on the asan tur
being a sports movie and DP Jim Carrey also got
(36:36):
to do the Mask movie with Cameron Diaz in her
Heyday from Bulking. But Dan, when I saw you were
out yesterday, I was a little worried until I saw
the pics of you on the set with Sandler yesterday
with that mustache. I mean, I have to say, I'd
love to see what DP nation thinks. But you look
(36:57):
like a younger, skinnier brother of Andy Reid. And I
saw you and I was like, that looks like Andy
Reid's a little brother. I'm like, that's crazy. But Dan,
I just want to recall the Andrew Lucky interview earlier
this week and I'm certain that Dan Nation listens intently
(37:19):
like I do when you interview certain people. And it
was a perfect example of your style of questioning. And
you're interviewing prowess, Dan, like because when you were you
were like in mid season four, like when you asked
him if he was a football player or a guy
who was just good at football. I mean, his silence
(37:39):
was compelling. It was like as if though his silence
was screaming out loud, like that he just prayed that
the Lord would just deliver him from the question and football.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Thank you, Budha, very nice of you. Have a good weekend.
Good luck with the restaurant. Brad in Connecticut, Hi, Brad,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (37:58):
Good morning, Dan Dannis, first time, long time, sixty solidude
fifty Dan. If Bill Belichick takes the head coaching job
at North Carolina, does his girlfriend get to be head cheerleader?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Thank you? Brat, Sure why not? She could be a
cheerleader in the NFL if she wanted to. Yeah. So
I think Bill's turning seventy three here shortly, And I
know we get caught up in age, but I think
when it gets to it, you know somebody who is
(38:34):
this age? How long do they want to coach for?
I think when you're hiring somebody and you're hiring a
younger coach, like, what's your window there? Now, we look
at Dion differently because it's not about his age, it's
just I think the opportunity to coach elsewhere. I'm hearing
way too much about Dion in the NFL to believe
that he is fully committed to Colorado. There's enough people
(38:57):
talking about this, and I've said all along, see with
the Raiders more than I could the Cowboys. I could
see him with the Raiders and Shador with you know,
as his quarterback. And Tom Brady is going to be
involved in this coaching search. So whether it happens now,
I still believe that Dion will coach in the NFL
at some point.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yes, you know what the age thing for Bill Belichick
to be is about like relating to kids.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
I know that we all chuckle about him calling it
the uh you know, the face snap and the chat
Twitter or whatever, and he jokes about that. It's like, yeah, man,
that joke was funny like twenty years ago.
Speaker 7 (39:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I mean, like there's nobody who's confused about what Facebook
is right now? Really there really isn't everybody knows what
Facebook is. I don't know that an eighteen year old
kid or a seventeen sixteen year old kid that you're
talking to right now and you sit down in their
living room and they're.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Like, so are you on the ticks?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Snap, Like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Dude? Who thinks that Belichick is really interested in North Carolina? No?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
No, you know, I think when you said maybe he's
doing somebody a favor, man, did that make a lot
of sense?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
It made them relevant? I mean, all of a sudden,
it's like, oh wow, okay, I just you know, he
has unfinished business in the NFL from the standpoint of
becoming the all time victories leader. And I think Don Shula,
you know, before he died, obviously had some things to
say about Belichick and cheating, and Belichick might be like,
(40:25):
I'm going to end up with more victories than you.
I don't know anything about Bill. I think I've had
a conversation. Well, you can't have a conversation if it
lasted two words. What constitutes a conversation with Hey, you
ever had a conversation with Bill Belichick? No? I think
there might have been two words. It might have been
(40:47):
maybe three get out of my way. Okay, We had
a conversation there. Ross Tucker was on the call last
night west Wood one Radio. The Lions continue to win
and are they the best team in the NFC? Can
you be peaking too soon? Ross will join us coming
(41:08):
up hour two.
