Oh okay, I prefer chocolate. Come on, we got to

Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's yes, alrighty big movie. Maybe you've heard of it.
Happy Gilmore Too. It's available now on Netflix and one
of the stars is Christopher McDonald. He is shooting. McGavin
joins us on the program, take me back to let's
go back to the original. What were you told when
(03:35):
you auditioned for Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
I'll be honest with you. I did an audition. I
just I sat down with at him. I laughed for
forty minutes and said I've got to do this. I've
got to work it out. I've got to get back
up here with my family and I can do this
crazy funny story.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But how much of the character are you allowed to
toy with?
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Oh, he let me play I mean Dennis Dugan, our director,
let me play a I goofed around, Like I said,
I came up. I didn't know why they called him
shooting McGavin, but you know, I knew he was preppy.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And the first thing we did, of course, was on
I was you know, you touched you one more time,
I'll burn your house down, and just on ashes.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
These are great lines. And then the whole thing like
piece of shit and rivers. All that stuff was really funny.
And then I just had libat know and things like
that they left in, which I thought was terrific.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
There's like several other little moments in the movie that
they allowed us to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
How long have you been working on the sequel?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Let's see twenty nine years? That too long? Unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Every time I saw it, it was like, come on, man,
I know it. I can't be the only one saying
let's think it's equal, let's do this. But he would
always go yeah, I don't know, man, I mean you
were thinking about him love to shoot you and then
we would just have a good lap. And I love
the guy. He's just got a hard as big as Texas.
And I know that the time, when the time was right,
him and Tim Early, he his partner writer would pull
(04:56):
it off, and they did with greater plumb So grea such.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's such a character, it's such a role that I
don't know if it impacted other roles that you got
because people saw you as Shooter mcgammon.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
I think that happens Dan, because if you're really good
at one thing that people really respond to, they like
to repeat that in Hollyweird. So I did a lot
of it, and I turned the first couple of ones
down and like went, no, this is a different guy.
How does he think?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How does he?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
So I went through the whole like good training as
an actor, and I thought, well, I'll build a different background.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I'll find out.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
You never can hit, you never can hate who you're
playing it. Yeah, I mean you can't be it. Yeah
I'm a jerk, but I don't think I don't think
I'm a jerk, right, So I have to find out
a way there you get around.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
There, see I the Thelm and Luise role really stood out.
That that's the one like, how do you get that
character of your you know you're her husband, and I
mean you don't come off as the most confident guy.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Know.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
That was a really fun movie, A game changer in
a lot of ways. Sandler said that was the reason
when he saw Darryl Dickinson. I said, that guy's great.
You got an athlete, he's funny, he's also a jerk,
and it's on a good level. So they were they
were looking out and he said, I always wanted to.
I want to win Chris McDonald for this, so that
all worked out. But boy, that funny, funny movie. Really
(06:23):
Scott I swear almost ruined a couple of takes because
he'd laughed so much. And it was one of those
things where I did audition for that one, and to
go in there and hang out with him and make
him laugh was a big, big deal for me. And
I was offered all kinds of jerks after that, but
got the game going.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So it's all good.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You cornered the market on being a jerk. Huh, you're
really really good at it.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, thank you, Thank you. I'm very, very proud of that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But that's Brad Pitt's first movie bo right.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that Brad Bitch.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
He replaced Billy Baldwin who went off to do their
Fire movie with with Kurt Russell and Iron Howard.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
And I.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Gotta say Brad Pitt was perfect for this role. He
came in, he was new, but he was just ready
to play. There's a lot of them I had living
in that as well. Where with that whole scene where
I love your wife, I like your wife would I
would have ripped his head off.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
They had two security guards on me, pulling me back
and say can we do more? Because this is too good?
I wanted to kill him, I really did. It was
really funny.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Happy Gilmore too on Netflix today, Christopher McDonald shooting McGavin
joining us on the program The Uh. You've been in
some sports related movies. You were in sixty one played
mel Allen. You were at Bols Dwayne Johnson Show, you
played Jerry Jones. Yeah, Now would you study Jerry Jones
(07:49):
to actually beat Jerry Jones.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I've known Jerry Jones, as you know, as the owner
of the Dallas Cowboys forever. You know, America's team, they say,
and all this stuff, and I just didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
I got a visual of him, which always helps. The
right wardrobe always helps the intention behind him. He's a
bright guy, uh, And it was really fun to play
that kind of guy who had that kind of power.
So I that's what I studied about his personality, and
and I was just blown away. How wonderful and great
(08:21):
a guy that Rock is. He's a really good actor too.
So where do you see him in this Smashing Machine?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I saw the trail. Did you see the trailer?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Dad Crazy?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
It's really good.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
It's gonna it's over at Venice right now, I think.
And uh, the guy who directed it was Benny Safti,
who played the guy in this movie who's the you know,
the bad guy.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah. I was shooting my scenes in a studio in
New Jersey and Benny was on the other side of
the studio, so we would he would do his takes.
There's a there's a scene in the office, and I'm
on the other side. So when he would get done,
then they would stop down and then I would do mine,
and then so we kind of went back and forth.
(09:02):
So I got to spend very talented guy, him and his.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Very talented guy and very very I did a lot
of pr with them.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
We sat together and just bantered back and forth, really
quick mind, really talented director and a really fun actor.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And boy I liked I liked your Pat Daniels with
the mustache. Oh yeah, yeah, you pulled that off pretty good.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well. Sandler kind of you know, labeled me. He profiled me.
I was a police officer in a lot of his
movies with a mustache. And I said, look, I'm being
type cast here. I got to get out of this.
So I'm going to break out. I want to play
a sportscaster.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Oh that's really fuddy.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah. So Sandman created, he does, he does. He writes
me into every movie. I think it's been twenty two movies.
So I'm very fortunate. Now I'm going to ask you, Chris,
being a famous actor here, when I die at the
Academy Awards in Memoriam, Yeah, should my name be put
up there in Memoriam?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I think absolutely. But your chance to are fifty to fifty.
It's a fifty to fifty.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Because you know what, there's so many people. I mean,
I don't want to get morbid here. But a boy,
we just lost so many great people in the last
you know, even two months, Michael, Maxin elm and Luise Got.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I mean, I'm a dear friend anyway.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I don't want to go dark here, but but yeah,
they in Memoriam is one of the big things that
we all watch. And there's a gorgeous song that goes
along with it. And I think you put your time in,
you paid your dues. I think Pat Daniels has got
to be up there.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then Patrick give me give me the cameo in
Happy Gilmore too. That surprised you, all right.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
How many crazy all the golfers. First of all, all
the golfers blew my mind. I walked into the in
the room. I told the story, but I walked into
the room and I went, oh it not it was
my day off, but I had to go in there.
All the legends were there, and the legends and training
went I've got to go in. So I waited for
the you know, the the lighting change they were doing
(11:01):
and why the room was just buzzing around. And I
walked in and from the back table, Jack Nicholas, Sir
Nick Faldo, Corey Pave and all these guys are going
shoot and they pulled the guns up. I thought, I said,
freeze this moment in my mind. And then of course
the guy's in the Scheffler and everybody else and j
(11:21):
T and all the guys, we're going to pull the
guns out too.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So it was a very funny entrance and I'll never
forget it. It was pinch me time.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But you can't get away from that.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Well, the shooter sort of lives in me now. I can't.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I can't walk anywhere like in New York City, forget it.
It's like shoot up, but mostly they wait I at airports,
don't do it as I walk by, and then they
go shoot on and I'm like, you know, four feet
past them.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I just kind of go throw up the guns and
just keep walking. It's too funny.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Congrats on helping get this done, Chris. I appreciate it
so Over the.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Moon, I got to tell you, Dan, it's just thrilled.
All the guys in this movie were they mean, All
the the golfers showed up, they kicked ass. They were
just so funny. And I love Scottie Sheffer's little button
on the end of this movie. He was good enough
to like make fun of himself with the arrest, and
I just I just hope it breaks Netflix as that
(12:15):
big boxing match did.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
That would be great these people watch it. Thank you, Bud,
my pleasure, Dan, thanks for having me brother that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Shoot McGavin Christopher McDonald and the movie comes out today.
What I was told by Samman is Travis Kelcey was
great as far as like truly acting. He thought Travis
Kelcey really stood out. I mean, there's a lot of
people in this movie. And I was getting phone calls
from people saying, hey, can you put in a good word.
(12:45):
Guys in the golf community were saying can you put
in a good word for me? With Sandler, And one
of the guys was Nick Foudo. And I said to Sandman,
I said, hey, Faldo reached out, he wants to be
a part of this, and he goes, okay, Danny. Then
I don't what happens after that. Then all of a sudden,
when I get on set, Sandman told me that, you know,
(13:06):
Foudo had been there, but Jack Nicholas Eminem, I mean,
there's a lot of people in this movie, and I
texted him last night. It was like nervous. San Lu
goes yes, but it's exciting, so hopefully you like it.
Hopefully you're entertained by it. Let's see. You know, we
talked about this prior to the start of the show.
(13:27):
If you could be in a movie, small role, okay,
any movie? What movie would that be? Now, you know,
they're kind of like small roles like I have. Actually
there aren't small roles, they're just small actors like you.
I take my scene and I you know, I steal
the movie. Yeah, it's called elevation, is what it is.
(13:51):
I'll take it and then I'll raise it to another level. Todd,
what movie would you want to be in?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I narrowed it down to three, but I'm going with
Willie Walka and Chocolate Factory. What that role would be exactly,
I'm not sure, but I would love to have been
in that in some fashion.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, but yeah, but the whole premises what role would
you be.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
If I had to be a smaller role?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Could not be one of the stars. Maybe the the
guy who works in the candy store or owns the
candy shop where they're all running in, you know, grabbing
chocolate and lollipops and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, all right, Seaton, what about you, small role, big movie.
What would you want to be in.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
I would want to be a small role in good Fellas.
Now that's kind of like the easy answer. But yeah,
like there's a lot of small roles in there that
make big impacts, whether it's like Spider or Stacks or
you know, there's a lie one of the people that
ends up dead. You know, like I could be Uh
was it Frankie Carbone who's hanging in the meat?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh? Those are all those are great roles. Those are awesome.
You know. I love Marvin small role, big movie.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
The Eddie Murphy movie, Boomerang. John Witherspoon is in there
for a mile five minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You got to coordinate, coordinate.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Yes, he plays David Allen Greer's dad at Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
That is the one seed for me as far as
the role. He steals that movie.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
All right, all right, I respect that coordinate boom. Oh
yeah that's funny.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Uh, I just watched it again the other day. Jaws
is one of the great movies of all time. I
want to play the role of the mayor who wants
to keep the beaches open.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He is a.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Classic jerk in a movie. Great flick, it'll be around forever,
the Mayor and Jows.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
We'll talk to Derek Henry. He'll join us in an
hour from now, after Sandler saw him at the premiere
on Monday night, New York City and said, you're in
my next movie. So we'll talk to the Ravens. Running

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Say
good morning if you're watching on Peacock or you're listening
on our radio affiliates around the country. Jimmy Graham announced
his retirement former NFL tight end. He was a pro
bowler five times, played football and basketball at the you,
(17:34):
and he's been busy in retirement. He just recently completed
the Arctic Challenge ten days, rowing over five hundred and
eighty four nautical miles, breaking a record. That's not retirement, Jimmy,
that's work. How did this come about? Oh, how are
you doing that?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
It's good to see you. Good hear from you.
Speaker 12 (17:58):
Basically, my best friend, he was a Seal Team six
and he got his NBA from Cambridge right before he retired,
and he'd been trying to get me to roll cross
the ocean for a year. So I was at his
I was at his graduation, and we're at a pub
in Cambridge, and uh, you know, over a few is
when he finally broke me down and and got and
got me to agree to it. So that'll be the
(18:21):
last here, well one, that'll be the last time that
I ever agree to do something to the pub.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
But basically, so we teamed up with the Huppies.
Speaker 12 (18:34):
They're professional rowers and Andrew he wrote at BU So
basically over a year.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
And a half ago is when I had to learn
how to start rowing.
Speaker 12 (18:43):
So we started first in kind of like small shells,
and then we moved on to like a kind of
an ocean like a like a coast rower, and then
we moved on to our boat that we ended up
crossing the Arctic in which was a logistical nightmare obviously
getting the boat from.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Miami to Norway.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
And rowing is absolutely one of the most brutal sports
I've ever done, a full body workout, and when you're
doing it twelve hours a day for ten days, it's
it's it's extremely exhausting.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Any moments where you go this was this a bad decision.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
For me.
Speaker 12 (19:19):
I think it was from the start to the end.
You know, you know, football's fun, Practicing football's fund. Lifting
weights is fun. You know, there is a big competition.
But when you're sitting on a row boat that weighs
eight hundred pounds all carbon fiber, and you know the
c state is six point five meters, the waters twenty
(19:39):
six degrees and you're burning nine thousand dollars a day,
there is I don't think there's any joy in.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
That for me being But for me, it was all
about the kids, you know, it was all about the raise.
Speaker 12 (19:51):
We ended up partnering with Covenant House and a lower
sports for kids, and so we raised a bunch of
money and we're gonna be closing that raise at the
end of the month. So for me, I just stayed
focused on why I was doing it and try to
complain as little as I could.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Weather an issue.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean, if you know, whenever I took a
look at this, you know, I realized how important the
weather aspect was. You know, me being a pilot, obviously
I know weather very well, and then I live on
a sailboat, so the seamanship aspect of it. That's why
I was lee Comm's lead weather and lead navigator. So
we took a route that nobody had ever taken, and
(20:31):
that was all based off weather models, and that was
all based off sea states. And then we had one
of the best weather models in the world. We basically
had the eight team for this, and he's out of
the UK. He does the weather modeling for the UK
national team, the Olympic team. His name is Simon Row
and so me and him were contacting each other twice
(20:52):
a day for ten straight days, and what we would
do is he would send me the weather models for
the next seventy two hours, so we would set the
boat up seventy two hours ahead or forty two hours
at forty eight hours ahead, sometimes not even going in
the direction that we needed to go, so that once
we got heavy winds, heavy weather, we were able to
surf down these waves and get some push.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You're also doing something. You're at the EAA Air Venture
in Oscosh right now. So this is the largest airplane
show in the world. So there's over six hundred thousand
people who attend, over ten thousand airplanes. But you're helping
in a role that Chuck Yeger once had Harrison Ford
(21:31):
saly Sollinger providing free flights to kids to introduce them
to the world of aviation. And the program has already
provided over two and a half million free flights. What
made you get into this?
Speaker 12 (21:45):
You know, throughout my career and really throughout my life,
I've had just a big passion about flying.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
You know, I always wanted to be an aviator.
Speaker 12 (21:51):
I wanted to be an F sixteen F twenty two pilot.
We really F sixteen when I was a kid, but unfortunately,
you know, I grew to the freakish hid at six
sevens So in high school I realized that was kind
of not there for me. So once I got drafted,
first ten years of my career. I went to flight school,
so I have ten licenses, and then I started giving
Winny Warrior flights, started flying a lot of underprivates kids.
(22:13):
And I ran into this program the many many years ago,
over a decade ago. And then I was brought in
by the greatest airshow performer ever lived, SHAWD. Tucker, and
he was a chairman. He made me co chairman, and
now I have just complete passion of pushing this program.
You know, we have abandoned pilots all across the country.
Each year, we have flown seventy thousand kids for over
(22:33):
three decades. And what we do is we use the
program to expose kids to the airspace technology industry and
have become pilots, engineers, and mechanics. The airspace technology industry
is really hurting right now for those type of employees,
so we really pushed kids into that. And it really
takes just one flight.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
There's so many kids that I've met or really grown
men and women now.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Or airline pilots fly F twenty two's six teams, and
they tell me that their first flight was at fourteen
through the Young Eagles, you know, so this program has
has has changed lives and it's been a true privilege
to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
We're talking to Jimmy Graham, former NFL tight end, five
time Pro Bowl player, and why did you wait this
long to announce your retirement.
Speaker 12 (23:18):
You know, I still had a bunch of teams calling
and and uh really yeah, I mean it was more
about the playoffs, you know, in case of an injury.
You know, I mean I'm still six seven and I
could still run a fade.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
So you know, I mean, I mean, I think I'll
be able to catch fades for the next ten years.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
But you know, I contacted you last year during the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Well I'm gonna keep that.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Well, well, it was teams that were contacting me early,
and I told them, listen, you know, hit me up
in the playoffs if you end up having an injury.
So it was it was teams prior to the playoffs.
It was early in the season, you know, But for me,
it was it was more the effect of, you know,
the one thing that I'd never done is I never
played in the big game. And you know that's the
one thing that that that always escaped me. You know,
(24:01):
I was on amazing teams with amazing amazing teammates, amazing coaches,
and it's it's sometimes so hard to get to that game,
you know. You know I've been close, you know, NFC Championship,
Aaron Rodgers, you know, obviously Luke Wilson and Seattle with
a legion of boom. We had an unbelievable team. And
then you know some of the historic teams that we
have for the Saints. You know, twenty eleven is the
(24:23):
remembrance of that big loss in San fran and Candlestick
after I scored with a minute twenty four to go
left in the clock. So you know, it's it's one
of those things where it kind of eats at you,
you know, especially when you've always chased it. You know,
that's all you cared about was winning, and to never
get that experience, never even have the opportunity to play
in a game, you know, it kind of sits with
you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Do you think you've done enough to be considered for
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
You know, I know that, you know, my time in
New Orleans and Seattle was pretty special. You know, I
know I still carry all their records. I know that
big knee injury really hindered me. And then you know,
obviously going to some run first teams sometimes it is
very difficult.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
But you know, because that that wasn't the type of
player I was.
Speaker 12 (25:08):
And I think I think sometimes, you know, the overall
stats can kind of peek out. You know, I think
maybe hopefully one day I could limp in.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
But you know, for me, I did.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
I did everything I could and and you know, for
me to come from the for me to come from
the basketball court and to have the opportunity to have
a team that believed in me when a lot of
people didn't, and what happened afterwards, you know, being a
starter year or two and then you know, going to
Pro Bowl that year and then just the just the
(25:38):
magic that me Andrew Brees had together. Uh, you know,
the magic that we RUSS had our last two years there,
back to back Pro Bowls. You know, I think, uh,
those are the things that I'm going to remember. Those
are things that I'm blessed for. And you know, Mickey
told me that I'll be going to ring the honors
one day for New Orleans, and you know, just to
be up on that ring with those great players and
all my teammates that I was, what's going.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
To be enough for me?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Who was the best player you played against in college
and basketball? Wow?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well, that that list is pretty deep.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
I would say the best best player that I played
up against, I mean Tyler Hansborough and you know in
his dominance in college basketball was pretty incredible.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (26:21):
Me and him had some battles for sure where I
was found found a mess out of him and I
was all over the place with him. I would say
the one that really stood out for me was when
I my freshman year JJ Reddick in Duke at Duke
with Sheldon Williams setting all those illegal screens.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
That team, you know that team, and just to see
the way that coach k demanded, uh a perfection from
his guys. Uh, you know how they responded to him.
Speaker 12 (26:56):
And then to go into that stadium and and you
know have you know, take the ball out and there's
hands just like waving next to your face.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
You know, that's a memory that I'll never look at.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
The different biggest difference between Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and
Drew Brees is.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
What, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is the best to ever throw
the ball. The way he throws the ball is insin.
You know this the way he flicks his wrist and
the ball carries fifty yards. You know, it's something that
when you first get on the team. You know, even
Devoncea Adams will tell you, anybody will tell you your
first year on the team, it's hard to track the
ball because it's got so much spin on it and
(27:34):
it's got so much carry to it.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You know.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
And the way he throws his long ball is basically
when it goes up, it's it looks like a punt
because it's coming straight down, which is which is very unique.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'd say Russell Wilson. The thing about him is he's
so dynamic on the run.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
That was something I really had to get used to.
Was there's the initial play and then there's a play after.
And the way to get the ball is you get
open first, but you got to get open second and third,
and you got to keep running. And at the time
being two eighty five, uh, you know, it took me
a lot of lumbering to restart the the old diesel engine.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
But you know, his ability to run, and then obviously
his deep ball.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
He has a very special deep ball, one of the
most accurate, unbelievable and then obviously, my god, Drew Brees.
There's not enough to say about him, the way he led,
how much time he put into it. I would have
Drew Brees because you know, before we didn't have you know,
our plays and just a full playbook and video on
(28:33):
our iPads at home over Wi Fi. So Drew Brees
would uh, he would watch film in the tight end room.
And there were so many times where I got a
video at nine thirty at nine of him showing me
a clip and then him showing me their defense and
him showing me, hey, we're going to make this adjustment
if if they play you like this and they want
(28:54):
to undercut you and have a guy over the top,
you're going to wrap it inside.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
And it's not even a route basically.
Speaker 12 (29:00):
And sure enough we were in San or San Frank
comes home and they're playing me like this against Pete Willison.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
I do this double move and I just wrap it
around balls right there.
Speaker 12 (29:08):
I mean, his attention to detail, the amount that he
put into it, the sacrifice that he made it made
me better because you know, you have to show up
every day willing to work that hard.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
He's first in the building five.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
O'clock he's leaving at nine thirty, ten o'clock at night.
I had never seen somebody work so hard in my life,
and obviously it showed on the field.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Did Tom Cruise reach out for top gun? Maverick?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
That no?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
In there?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
No?
Speaker 14 (29:38):
And I was so hurt.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Honestly, what an unbelievable movie, you know, I mean, that's
that's a movie that really steered my life. You know,
back I think the original was in nineteen eighty six,
so when it came out, I was so hurt. I mean,
just to be an extra in the background would have
been a life dream. So you know, hopefully one day
that they'll make another one, and you know I'll be
I'll be the old guy in the background just and
(30:00):
so so I'm gonna keep working on my flying and
and hopefully for the next time I get a call.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Okay, what's your call sign? You like, there's Maverick and
Goose and.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Man, I've got so many nicknames.
Speaker 15 (30:14):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (30:14):
I guess I guess Avatar was was on the original.
But but I guess I guess everybody calls me him
or himmy.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (30:25):
I don't even know, you know, I'm the him himmy
himmy because I'm him.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
That's that's what they used to say. But when it
comes to it, uh.
Speaker 12 (30:37):
I'm actually the honorary commander of the sixteen makers down
the Homesteads. So in the next six months we're gonna
have a big party and and that's when I get
my call signed.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
So I'll definitely get back on and let you know
what it is.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Good. Hey, congrats and congrats on retirement and everything that
you're working on now. Great to talk to you again.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
I really appreciate it and I'm looking forward to seing it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You have a go at Jim Jimmy Graham, Himmy Him.
I'm like, wait, why did they call you that? I'm him,
five time pro bowler, played basketball and football at at
the U. A couple of phone calls in here Aaron
and fort Wayne hi erin what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (31:17):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 16 (31:19):
I just got done watching the movie.
Speaker 13 (31:21):
I just got to say you you.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Look great in the movie.
Speaker 14 (31:24):
Your part was was fantastic, and I just got to
say I really enjoyed it and I really love your show.
And you know, I was like watching the other day.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
It brings me to my next point.
Speaker 17 (31:36):
You look so good.
Speaker 14 (31:36):
Your stash is so good.
Speaker 16 (31:38):
The tan is so good.
Speaker 14 (31:39):
Don't retire, Dan.
Speaker 16 (31:41):
We need you for needs you And I found I
found a quote.
Speaker 14 (31:45):
From you and you said you wanted the Dan to
experience what it meant to win a Sports Emmy. And
I think you want to see that dream come true.
You want these guys to experience something at another level.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But uh, all right, well, thank you for the compliment.
I have not seen the movie, by the way, but uh,
I'll get around to it. And what if we win
the Sports Emmy next year? Then do then we retire?
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Then?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh, I can't do a year early. If you're watching
on Peacock, there's a picture of me. That's what I
look like in the movie. Sandler insisted on me having
a mustache there and uh, yeah, well, and that that's
before I get started. If you're you're watching Sandman came
(32:33):
in and and Sandler's there the whole time. Sandler is
there for every every scene, and he'll help you with
your lines. He'll go, Danny, try it this way. He'll
just throw out stuff, Danny, try how about this? Uh,
and then he'll say you got any suggestions? And then
he let me do a couple of takes on my own.
But you know, he very generous that way and easy
(32:54):
to work with. Uh. But I mean it's not like
we're doing Shindler's List, you know, it's basically, let's have
some fun.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Yeah, pauling that picture, it's kind of a nod to Uh.
There's a couple of years where Walter Kronkite, the great broadcaster,
had a mustache and you got a Walter Cronkite thing going.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Mmm. I don't know if I was channeling that. Plus,
that picture isn't very good. It looks like I have
three chins there when Sandler is there with me. Yeah. Ston,
I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Put up on the website. Now, maybe we'll kick this
around a little bit. Which character that you've played is
the most like you?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Oh? I have four options for you. Okay, I'm going
to need your help for.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Some of these though.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
TV Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll take a break and then
let me give some thought to this that of all
my movie roles, all the great movie roles that I've had. Uh,

what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (35:36):
Good morning? Dan's got a couple of things. I know
it's the end of the airs, all be as quick
as I can. A little hurt that you and Marvin
want to put the Falcons in the garbage are great
category because we all know they're going to be great,
and if they don't make the playoffs, I'll come to
Milford and sit in a dunk pig of ice water
and let all of you guys throw football as a
dunk button every commercial break and never get off the eat. Also,
(35:59):
Jimmy Graham may be fit through that. His call sign
should be moro on because he's the only person who
ruined dunking on the goal post by bending a goal
post and making a game odd. I'm so hurt and
you made me sit through that, Dan.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
It hurt me personally right now, all right, Hell, keep
your head up have a good weekend. There might take
al up on that if the Falcons don't make the playoffs.
Scott in Oregon, Hi Scott, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 18 (36:27):
Good morning guys, Happy Friday. Thanks for having me on
the show. First time, long time five eight one seventy.
I am a big Cardinals fan, Arizona Cardinals, and I
had an idea maybe for a segment if you guys
would be interested in doing it on Fridays as we
head into the weekend and we have thoughts about things
(36:48):
we'd love to see. I think there could be ideas.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Like wouldn't it be cool?
Speaker 18 (36:53):
So, just as an example, as a Cardinals fan plays
Campbell re signed with Arizona Cardinals this year. He played
for eighteen seasons and his first season was with the
earson the Cardinals obviously as a Orgie and he they
made the Super Bowl that year, but they haven't done
anything close to that since. But since then he's won
all kinds of honors including you know, the Walter Pateon
(37:15):
Man of the Year, so on and so forth. So
my via is kind of like, wouldn't it be cool
if Kalaius Campbell before he retired, got that Super Bowl
with the team that he was originally drafted with.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
And that's my thought.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Take it off off Hereday, thank you, Scott, thank you.
We'll give your thoughts some thought. Thank you. How about
the best week in sports? Who has their best week
in sports? Nominees? Oh Todd raised his hand quickly. I
feel good in sports.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, I feel good about the Milwaukee Brewers. They've won
twelve their last thirteen. But since it's the last week.
They did sweep the Dodgers in LA in this recent
past week, first place in l Central Game ahead of
the Cubs sixty one and forty one Milwaukee Brewers look out.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, it's it's been an impressive run since uh mid
to late May.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Seaton.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Who had the best week in sports in your opinion?
I'm gonna say it was, you know me to come
back to Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham, Jimmy thought this week
in sports he rode across the Arctic Ocean. Yes he did,
(38:28):
and that's very impressive. Marvin who had the best week
in sports?
Speaker 9 (38:33):
Maybe not as a team, but show hal Tani. He's
been on a tear lately, so he's had the best
week in sports. Not the Dodgers to show Hale Toni
by himself.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
All right, Paul, who had the best week in sports?
Speaker 6 (38:43):
This is a bit convoluted, but you mentioned Paige Becker's
the Dallas Wings. She's having a great season. She was
the National Player of the Year as a freshman. Then
she got injured and Caitlyn Clark took all the coverage
for years and years. And it's ironic and I didn't
wish for it, of course, but Caitlin Clark being out
this year has given an extra spotlight to Page Becker's
rookie year that she may not have gotten as much
(39:05):
of if Kitlin were playing.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Good week, Yeah, good week for Page? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Will in Florida, Hi, Will, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (39:16):
Hey, Hey, good morning. Was just calling y'all talking earlier
about the movie that you'd like to be a part of,
and I'd like to share mine. I'd like to be
in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and play the part
of Brad because I got a lot of experience in
that role.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Thank you, Will, delivering food, his gavering fish and chips
hired out with it. That's what Yeah, Judge Reinhold, Judge Reinhold,
I remember we got a hold of him. We were
talking about that movie, and all of a sudden, I said, Fritzy,
reach out and see you can get Judge Reinhold. And
(39:57):
we had nothing planned, and then all of a sudd
Judge Reinhold joins us and talks about that scene in
Fast Times at Richmond High. Adam in West Virginia, Hi, Adam,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (40:12):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (40:13):
On the movie Rolls, I think the Sixth Sense with
Donnie Wahlberg.
Speaker 14 (40:18):
I'm forty four years old and that.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Still cares me.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
And Matt Damon and euro Trip.
Speaker 16 (40:26):
Scotty doesn't know Man.
Speaker 13 (40:28):
That song lives rent free in my head because of that.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Good choices there, Adam, Good choices. Scotty in Florida, Hi Scotty.
Speaker 17 (40:39):
Hey Dan, five eight bucks sixty. Perhaps a future poll question,
do you spell Scotty with a Y like I spell it?
Or Scotty with an ie like Scottie Scheffler spells it.
But the small part that I would like to be
in a movie, and I'm going to classify this at
(40:59):
a mid major. I want to be Paulie from all
the Rocky movies.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Okay, Man, Bert young Sprice Fritzy didn't take that since
he there's a slight resemblance to Bert Young. It's too
close to home. Is that why you shy away from that?
Because you don't think you look like Burt Young?
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yes, that's exactly what actually.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Joe and Washington, Hi, Joe.
Speaker 16 (41:27):
Hey, fellas.
Speaker 15 (41:28):

Speaker 7 (04:12):
These are great lines. And then the whole thing like
piece of shit and rivers. All that stuff was really funny.
And then I just had libat know and things like
that they left in, which I thought was terrific.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
There's like several other little moments in the movie that
they allowed us to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
How long have you been working on the sequel?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Let's see twenty nine years? That too long? Unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Every time I saw it, it was like, come on, man,
I know it. I can't be the only one saying
let's think it's equal, let's do this. But he would
always go yeah, I don't know, man, I mean you
were thinking about him love to shoot you and then
we would just have a good lap. And I love
the guy. He's just got a hard as big as Texas.
And I know that the time, when the time was right,
him and Tim Early, he his partner writer would pull
(04:56):
it off, and they did with greater plumb So grea such.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's such a character, it's such a role that I
don't know if it impacted other roles that you got
because people saw you as Shooter mcgammon.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
I think that happens Dan, because if you're really good
at one thing that people really respond to, they like
to repeat that in Hollyweird. So I did a lot
of it, and I turned the first couple of ones
down and like went, no, this is a different guy.
How does he think?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How does he?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
So I went through the whole like good training as
an actor, and I thought, well, I'll build a different background.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I'll find out.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
You never can hit, you never can hate who you're
playing it. Yeah, I mean you can't be it. Yeah
I'm a jerk, but I don't think I don't think
I'm a jerk, right, So I have to find out
a way there you get around.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
There, see I the Thelm and Luise role really stood out.
That that's the one like, how do you get that
character of your you know you're her husband, and I
mean you don't come off as the most confident guy.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Know.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
That was a really fun movie, A game changer in
a lot of ways. Sandler said that was the reason
when he saw Darryl Dickinson. I said, that guy's great.
You got an athlete, he's funny, he's also a jerk,
and it's on a good level. So they were they
were looking out and he said, I always wanted to.
I want to win Chris McDonald for this, so that
all worked out. But boy, that funny, funny movie. Really
(06:23):
Scott I swear almost ruined a couple of takes because
he'd laughed so much. And it was one of those
things where I did audition for that one, and to
go in there and hang out with him and make
him laugh was a big, big deal for me. And
I was offered all kinds of jerks after that, but
got the game going.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So it's all good.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You cornered the market on being a jerk. Huh, you're
really really good at it.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, thank you, Thank you. I'm very, very proud of that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But that's Brad Pitt's first movie bo right.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that Brad Bitch.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
He replaced Billy Baldwin who went off to do their
Fire movie with with Kurt Russell and Iron Howard.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
And I.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Gotta say Brad Pitt was perfect for this role. He
came in, he was new, but he was just ready
to play. There's a lot of them I had living
in that as well. Where with that whole scene where
I love your wife, I like your wife would I
would have ripped his head off.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
They had two security guards on me, pulling me back
and say can we do more? Because this is too good?
I wanted to kill him, I really did. It was
really funny.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Happy Gilmore too on Netflix today, Christopher McDonald shooting McGavin
joining us on the program The Uh. You've been in
some sports related movies. You were in sixty one played
mel Allen. You were at Bols Dwayne Johnson Show, you
played Jerry Jones. Yeah, Now would you study Jerry Jones
(07:49):
to actually beat Jerry Jones.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I've known Jerry Jones, as you know, as the owner
of the Dallas Cowboys forever. You know, America's team, they say,
and all this stuff, and I just didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
I got a visual of him, which always helps. The
right wardrobe always helps the intention behind him. He's a
bright guy, uh, And it was really fun to play
that kind of guy who had that kind of power.
So I that's what I studied about his personality, and
and I was just blown away. How wonderful and great
(08:21):
a guy that Rock is. He's a really good actor too.
So where do you see him in this Smashing Machine?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I saw the trail. Did you see the trailer?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Dad Crazy?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
It's really good.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
It's gonna it's over at Venice right now, I think.
And uh, the guy who directed it was Benny Safti,
who played the guy in this movie who's the you know,
the bad guy.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah. I was shooting my scenes in a studio in
New Jersey and Benny was on the other side of
the studio, so we would he would do his takes.
There's a there's a scene in the office, and I'm
on the other side. So when he would get done,
then they would stop down and then I would do mine,
and then so we kind of went back and forth.
(09:02):
So I got to spend very talented guy, him and his.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Very talented guy and very very I did a lot
of pr with them.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
We sat together and just bantered back and forth, really
quick mind, really talented director and a really fun actor.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And boy I liked I liked your Pat Daniels with
the mustache. Oh yeah, yeah, you pulled that off pretty good.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well. Sandler kind of you know, labeled me. He profiled me.
I was a police officer in a lot of his
movies with a mustache. And I said, look, I'm being
type cast here. I got to get out of this.
So I'm going to break out. I want to play
a sportscaster.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Oh that's really fuddy.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah. So Sandman created, he does, he does. He writes
me into every movie. I think it's been twenty two movies.
So I'm very fortunate. Now I'm going to ask you, Chris,
being a famous actor here, when I die at the
Academy Awards in Memoriam, Yeah, should my name be put
up there in Memoriam?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I think absolutely. But your chance to are fifty to fifty.
It's a fifty to fifty.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Because you know what, there's so many people. I mean,
I don't want to get morbid here. But a boy,
we just lost so many great people in the last
you know, even two months, Michael, Maxin elm and Luise Got.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I mean, I'm a dear friend anyway.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I don't want to go dark here, but but yeah,
they in Memoriam is one of the big things that
we all watch. And there's a gorgeous song that goes
along with it. And I think you put your time in,
you paid your dues. I think Pat Daniels has got
to be up there.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then Patrick give me give me the cameo in
Happy Gilmore too. That surprised you, all right.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
How many crazy all the golfers. First of all, all
the golfers blew my mind. I walked into the in
the room. I told the story, but I walked into
the room and I went, oh it not it was
my day off, but I had to go in there.
All the legends were there, and the legends and training
went I've got to go in. So I waited for
the you know, the the lighting change they were doing
(11:01):
and why the room was just buzzing around. And I
walked in and from the back table, Jack Nicholas, Sir
Nick Faldo, Corey Pave and all these guys are going
shoot and they pulled the guns up. I thought, I said,
freeze this moment in my mind. And then of course
the guy's in the Scheffler and everybody else and j
(11:21):
T and all the guys, we're going to pull the
guns out too.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So it was a very funny entrance and I'll never
forget it. It was pinch me time.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But you can't get away from that.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Well, the shooter sort of lives in me now. I can't.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I can't walk anywhere like in New York City, forget it.
It's like shoot up, but mostly they wait I at airports,
don't do it as I walk by, and then they
go shoot on and I'm like, you know, four feet
past them.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I just kind of go throw up the guns and
just keep walking. It's too funny.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Congrats on helping get this done, Chris. I appreciate it
so Over the.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Moon, I got to tell you, Dan, it's just thrilled.
All the guys in this movie were they mean, All
the the golfers showed up, they kicked ass. They were
just so funny. And I love Scottie Sheffer's little button
on the end of this movie. He was good enough
to like make fun of himself with the arrest, and
I just I just hope it breaks Netflix as that
(12:15):
big boxing match did.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
That would be great these people watch it. Thank you, Bud,
my pleasure, Dan, thanks for having me brother that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Shoot McGavin Christopher McDonald and the movie comes out today.
What I was told by Samman is Travis Kelcey was
great as far as like truly acting. He thought Travis
Kelcey really stood out. I mean, there's a lot of
people in this movie. And I was getting phone calls
from people saying, hey, can you put in a good word.
(12:45):
Guys in the golf community were saying can you put
in a good word for me? With Sandler, And one
of the guys was Nick Foudo. And I said to Sandman,
I said, hey, Faldo reached out, he wants to be
a part of this, and he goes, okay, Danny. Then
I don't what happens after that. Then all of a sudden,
when I get on set, Sandman told me that, you know,
(13:06):
Foudo had been there, but Jack Nicholas Eminem, I mean,
there's a lot of people in this movie, and I
texted him last night. It was like nervous. San Lu
goes yes, but it's exciting, so hopefully you like it.
Hopefully you're entertained by it. Let's see. You know, we
talked about this prior to the start of the show.
(13:27):
If you could be in a movie, small role, okay,
any movie? What movie would that be? Now, you know,
they're kind of like small roles like I have. Actually
there aren't small roles, they're just small actors like you.
I take my scene and I you know, I steal
the movie. Yeah, it's called elevation, is what it is.
(13:51):
I'll take it and then I'll raise it to another level. Todd,
what movie would you want to be in?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I narrowed it down to three, but I'm going with
Willie Walka and Chocolate Factory. What that role would be exactly,
I'm not sure, but I would love to have been
in that in some fashion.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, but yeah, but the whole premises what role would
you be.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
If I had to be a smaller role?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Could not be one of the stars. Maybe the the
guy who works in the candy store or owns the
candy shop where they're all running in, you know, grabbing
chocolate and lollipops and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, all right, Seaton, what about you, small role, big movie.
What would you want to be in.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
I would want to be a small role in good Fellas.
Now that's kind of like the easy answer. But yeah,
like there's a lot of small roles in there that
make big impacts, whether it's like Spider or Stacks or
you know, there's a lie one of the people that
ends up dead. You know, like I could be Uh
was it Frankie Carbone who's hanging in the meat?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh? Those are all those are great roles. Those are awesome.
You know. I love Marvin small role, big movie.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
The Eddie Murphy movie, Boomerang. John Witherspoon is in there
for a mile five minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You got to coordinate, coordinate.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Yes, he plays David Allen Greer's dad at Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
That is the one seed for me as far as
the role. He steals that movie.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
All right, all right, I respect that coordinate boom. Oh
yeah that's funny.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Uh, I just watched it again the other day. Jaws
is one of the great movies of all time. I
want to play the role of the mayor who wants
to keep the beaches open.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He is a.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Classic jerk in a movie. Great flick, it'll be around forever,
the Mayor and Jows.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
We'll talk to Derek Henry. He'll join us in an
hour from now, after Sandler saw him at the premiere
on Monday night, New York City and said, you're in
my next movie. So we'll talk to the Ravens. Running
back up next, the former tight end Jimmy Graham, and
just to announce his retirement. But he's certainly been very
busy in retirement. He'll tell you about that right after

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Say
good morning if you're watching on Peacock or you're listening
on our radio affiliates around the country. Jimmy Graham announced
his retirement former NFL tight end. He was a pro
bowler five times, played football and basketball at the you,
(17:34):
and he's been busy in retirement. He just recently completed
the Arctic Challenge ten days, rowing over five hundred and
eighty four nautical miles, breaking a record. That's not retirement, Jimmy,
that's work. How did this come about? Oh, how are
you doing that?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
It's good to see you. Good hear from you.
Speaker 12 (17:58):
Basically, my best friend, he was a Seal Team six
and he got his NBA from Cambridge right before he retired,
and he'd been trying to get me to roll cross
the ocean for a year. So I was at his
I was at his graduation, and we're at a pub
in Cambridge, and uh, you know, over a few is
when he finally broke me down and and got and
got me to agree to it. So that'll be the
(18:21):
last here, well one, that'll be the last time that
I ever agree to do something to the pub.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
But basically, so we teamed up with the Huppies.
Speaker 12 (18:34):
They're professional rowers and Andrew he wrote at BU So
basically over a year.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
And a half ago is when I had to learn
how to start rowing.
Speaker 12 (18:43):
So we started first in kind of like small shells,
and then we moved on to like a kind of
an ocean like a like a coast rower, and then
we moved on to our boat that we ended up
crossing the Arctic in which was a logistical nightmare obviously
getting the boat from.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Miami to Norway.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
And rowing is absolutely one of the most brutal sports
I've ever done, a full body workout, and when you're
doing it twelve hours a day for ten days, it's
it's it's extremely exhausting.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Any moments where you go this was this a bad decision.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
For me.
Speaker 12 (19:19):
I think it was from the start to the end.
You know, you know, football's fun, Practicing football's fund. Lifting
weights is fun. You know, there is a big competition.
But when you're sitting on a row boat that weighs
eight hundred pounds all carbon fiber, and you know the
c state is six point five meters, the waters twenty
(19:39):
six degrees and you're burning nine thousand dollars a day,
there is I don't think there's any joy in.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
That for me being But for me, it was all
about the kids, you know, it was all about the raise.
Speaker 12 (19:51):
We ended up partnering with Covenant House and a lower
sports for kids, and so we raised a bunch of
money and we're gonna be closing that raise at the
end of the month. So for me, I just stayed
focused on why I was doing it and try to
complain as little as I could.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Weather an issue.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean, if you know, whenever I took a
look at this, you know, I realized how important the
weather aspect was. You know, me being a pilot, obviously
I know weather very well, and then I live on
a sailboat, so the seamanship aspect of it. That's why
I was lee Comm's lead weather and lead navigator. So
we took a route that nobody had ever taken, and
(20:31):
that was all based off weather models, and that was
all based off sea states. And then we had one
of the best weather models in the world. We basically
had the eight team for this, and he's out of
the UK. He does the weather modeling for the UK
national team, the Olympic team. His name is Simon Row
and so me and him were contacting each other twice
(20:52):
a day for ten straight days, and what we would
do is he would send me the weather models for
the next seventy two hours, so we would set the
boat up seventy two hours ahead or forty two hours
at forty eight hours ahead, sometimes not even going in
the direction that we needed to go, so that once
we got heavy winds, heavy weather, we were able to
surf down these waves and get some push.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You're also doing something. You're at the EAA Air Venture
in Oscosh right now. So this is the largest airplane
show in the world. So there's over six hundred thousand
people who attend, over ten thousand airplanes. But you're helping
in a role that Chuck Yeger once had Harrison Ford
(21:31):
saly Sollinger providing free flights to kids to introduce them
to the world of aviation. And the program has already
provided over two and a half million free flights. What
made you get into this?
Speaker 12 (21:45):
You know, throughout my career and really throughout my life,
I've had just a big passion about flying.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
You know, I always wanted to be an aviator.
Speaker 12 (21:51):
I wanted to be an F sixteen F twenty two pilot.
We really F sixteen when I was a kid, but unfortunately,
you know, I grew to the freakish hid at six
sevens So in high school I realized that was kind
of not there for me. So once I got drafted,
first ten years of my career. I went to flight school,
so I have ten licenses, and then I started giving
Winny Warrior flights, started flying a lot of underprivates kids.
(22:13):
And I ran into this program the many many years ago,
over a decade ago. And then I was brought in
by the greatest airshow performer ever lived, SHAWD. Tucker, and
he was a chairman. He made me co chairman, and
now I have just complete passion of pushing this program.
You know, we have abandoned pilots all across the country.
Each year, we have flown seventy thousand kids for over
(22:33):
three decades. And what we do is we use the
program to expose kids to the airspace technology industry and
have become pilots, engineers, and mechanics. The airspace technology industry
is really hurting right now for those type of employees,
so we really pushed kids into that. And it really
takes just one flight.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
There's so many kids that I've met or really grown
men and women now.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Or airline pilots fly F twenty two's six teams, and
they tell me that their first flight was at fourteen
through the Young Eagles, you know, so this program has
has has changed lives and it's been a true privilege
to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
We're talking to Jimmy Graham, former NFL tight end, five
time Pro Bowl player, and why did you wait this
long to announce your retirement.
Speaker 12 (23:18):
You know, I still had a bunch of teams calling
and and uh really yeah, I mean it was more
about the playoffs, you know, in case of an injury.
You know, I mean I'm still six seven and I
could still run a fade.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
So you know, I mean, I mean, I think I'll
be able to catch fades for the next ten years.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
But you know, I contacted you last year during the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Well I'm gonna keep that.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Well, well, it was teams that were contacting me early,
and I told them, listen, you know, hit me up
in the playoffs if you end up having an injury.
So it was it was teams prior to the playoffs.
It was early in the season, you know, But for me,
it was it was more the effect of, you know,
the one thing that I'd never done is I never
played in the big game. And you know that's the
one thing that that that always escaped me. You know,
(24:01):
I was on amazing teams with amazing amazing teammates, amazing coaches,
and it's it's sometimes so hard to get to that game,
you know. You know I've been close, you know, NFC Championship,
Aaron Rodgers, you know, obviously Luke Wilson and Seattle with
a legion of boom. We had an unbelievable team. And
then you know some of the historic teams that we
have for the Saints. You know, twenty eleven is the
(24:23):
remembrance of that big loss in San fran and Candlestick
after I scored with a minute twenty four to go
left in the clock. So you know, it's it's one
of those things where it kind of eats at you,
you know, especially when you've always chased it. You know,
that's all you cared about was winning, and to never
get that experience, never even have the opportunity to play
in a game, you know, it kind of sits with
you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Do you think you've done enough to be considered for
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
You know, I know that, you know, my time in
New Orleans and Seattle was pretty special. You know, I
know I still carry all their records. I know that
big knee injury really hindered me. And then you know,
obviously going to some run first teams sometimes it is
very difficult.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
But you know, because that that wasn't the type of
player I was.
Speaker 12 (25:08):
And I think I think sometimes, you know, the overall
stats can kind of peek out. You know, I think
maybe hopefully one day I could limp in.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
But you know, for me, I did.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
I did everything I could and and you know, for
me to come from the for me to come from
the basketball court and to have the opportunity to have
a team that believed in me when a lot of
people didn't, and what happened afterwards, you know, being a
starter year or two and then you know, going to
Pro Bowl that year and then just the just the
(25:38):
magic that me Andrew Brees had together. Uh, you know,
the magic that we RUSS had our last two years there,
back to back Pro Bowls. You know, I think, uh,
those are the things that I'm going to remember. Those
are things that I'm blessed for. And you know, Mickey
told me that I'll be going to ring the honors
one day for New Orleans, and you know, just to
be up on that ring with those great players and
all my teammates that I was, what's going.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
To be enough for me?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Who was the best player you played against in college
and basketball? Wow?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well, that that list is pretty deep.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
I would say the best best player that I played
up against, I mean Tyler Hansborough and you know in
his dominance in college basketball was pretty incredible.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (26:21):
Me and him had some battles for sure where I
was found found a mess out of him and I
was all over the place with him. I would say
the one that really stood out for me was when
I my freshman year JJ Reddick in Duke at Duke
with Sheldon Williams setting all those illegal screens.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
That team, you know that team, and just to see
the way that coach k demanded, uh a perfection from
his guys. Uh, you know how they responded to him.
Speaker 12 (26:56):
And then to go into that stadium and and you
know have you know, take the ball out and there's
hands just like waving next to your face.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
You know, that's a memory that I'll never look at.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
The different biggest difference between Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and
Drew Brees is.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
What, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is the best to ever throw
the ball. The way he throws the ball is insin.
You know this the way he flicks his wrist and
the ball carries fifty yards. You know, it's something that
when you first get on the team. You know, even
Devoncea Adams will tell you, anybody will tell you your
first year on the team, it's hard to track the
ball because it's got so much spin on it and
(27:34):
it's got so much carry to it.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You know.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
And the way he throws his long ball is basically
when it goes up, it's it looks like a punt
because it's coming straight down, which is which is very unique.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'd say Russell Wilson. The thing about him is he's
so dynamic on the run.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
That was something I really had to get used to.
Was there's the initial play and then there's a play after.
And the way to get the ball is you get
open first, but you got to get open second and third,
and you got to keep running. And at the time
being two eighty five, uh, you know, it took me
a lot of lumbering to restart the the old diesel engine.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
But you know, his ability to run, and then obviously
his deep ball.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
He has a very special deep ball, one of the
most accurate, unbelievable and then obviously, my god, Drew Brees.
There's not enough to say about him, the way he led,
how much time he put into it. I would have
Drew Brees because you know, before we didn't have you know,
our plays and just a full playbook and video on
(28:33):
our iPads at home over Wi Fi. So Drew Brees
would uh, he would watch film in the tight end room.
And there were so many times where I got a
video at nine thirty at nine of him showing me
a clip and then him showing me their defense and
him showing me, hey, we're going to make this adjustment
if if they play you like this and they want
(28:54):
to undercut you and have a guy over the top,
you're going to wrap it inside.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
And it's not even a route basically.
Speaker 12 (29:00):
And sure enough we were in San or San Frank
comes home and they're playing me like this against Pete Willison.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
I do this double move and I just wrap it
around balls right there.
Speaker 12 (29:08):
I mean, his attention to detail, the amount that he
put into it, the sacrifice that he made it made
me better because you know, you have to show up
every day willing to work that hard.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
He's first in the building five.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
O'clock he's leaving at nine thirty, ten o'clock at night.
I had never seen somebody work so hard in my life,
and obviously it showed on the field.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Did Tom Cruise reach out for top gun? Maverick?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
That no?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
In there?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
No?
Speaker 14 (29:38):
And I was so hurt.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Honestly, what an unbelievable movie, you know, I mean, that's
that's a movie that really steered my life. You know,
back I think the original was in nineteen eighty six,
so when it came out, I was so hurt. I mean,
just to be an extra in the background would have
been a life dream. So you know, hopefully one day
that they'll make another one, and you know I'll be
I'll be the old guy in the background just and
(30:00):
so so I'm gonna keep working on my flying and
and hopefully for the next time I get a call.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Okay, what's your call sign? You like, there's Maverick and
Goose and.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Man, I've got so many nicknames.
Speaker 15 (30:14):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (30:14):
I guess I guess Avatar was was on the original.
But but I guess I guess everybody calls me him
or himmy.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (30:25):
I don't even know, you know, I'm the him himmy
himmy because I'm him.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
That's that's what they used to say. But when it
comes to it, uh.
Speaker 12 (30:37):
I'm actually the honorary commander of the sixteen makers down
the Homesteads. So in the next six months we're gonna
have a big party and and that's when I get
my call signed.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
So I'll definitely get back on and let you know
what it is.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Good. Hey, congrats and congrats on retirement and everything that
you're working on now. Great to talk to you again.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
I really appreciate it and I'm looking forward to seing it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You have a go at Jim Jimmy Graham, Himmy Him.
I'm like, wait, why did they call you that? I'm him,
five time pro bowler, played basketball and football at at
the U. A couple of phone calls in here Aaron
and fort Wayne hi erin what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (31:17):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 16 (31:19):
I just got done watching the movie.
Speaker 13 (31:21):
I just got to say you you.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Look great in the movie.
Speaker 14 (31:24):
Your part was was fantastic, and I just got to
say I really enjoyed it and I really love your show.
And you know, I was like watching the other day.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
It brings me to my next point.
Speaker 17 (31:36):
You look so good.
Speaker 14 (31:36):
Your stash is so good.
Speaker 16 (31:38):
The tan is so good.
Speaker 14 (31:39):
Don't retire, Dan.
Speaker 16 (31:41):
We need you for needs you And I found I
found a quote.
Speaker 14 (31:45):
From you and you said you wanted the Dan to
experience what it meant to win a Sports Emmy. And
I think you want to see that dream come true.
You want these guys to experience something at another level.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But uh, all right, well, thank you for the compliment.
I have not seen the movie, by the way, but uh,
I'll get around to it. And what if we win
the Sports Emmy next year? Then do then we retire?
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Then?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh, I can't do a year early. If you're watching
on Peacock, there's a picture of me. That's what I
look like in the movie. Sandler insisted on me having
a mustache there and uh, yeah, well, and that that's
before I get started. If you're you're watching Sandman came
(32:33):
in and and Sandler's there the whole time. Sandler is
there for every every scene, and he'll help you with
your lines. He'll go, Danny, try it this way. He'll
just throw out stuff, Danny, try how about this? Uh,
and then he'll say you got any suggestions? And then
he let me do a couple of takes on my own.
But you know, he very generous that way and easy
(32:54):
to work with. Uh. But I mean it's not like
we're doing Shindler's List, you know, it's basically, let's have
some fun.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Yeah, pauling that picture, it's kind of a nod to Uh.
There's a couple of years where Walter Kronkite, the great broadcaster,
had a mustache and you got a Walter Cronkite thing going.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Mmm. I don't know if I was channeling that. Plus,
that picture isn't very good. It looks like I have
three chins there when Sandler is there with me. Yeah. Ston,
I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Put up on the website. Now, maybe we'll kick this
around a little bit. Which character that you've played is
the most like you?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Oh? I have four options for you. Okay, I'm going
to need your help for.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Some of these though.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
TV Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll take a break and then
let me give some thought to this that of all
my movie roles, all the great movie roles that I've had. Uh,
and uh, Derrick Henry will join us coming up next hour.
We'll take a break. We're back after this.

what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (35:36):
Good morning? Dan's got a couple of things. I know
it's the end of the airs, all be as quick
as I can. A little hurt that you and Marvin
want to put the Falcons in the garbage are great
category because we all know they're going to be great,
and if they don't make the playoffs, I'll come to
Milford and sit in a dunk pig of ice water
and let all of you guys throw football as a
dunk button every commercial break and never get off the eat. Also,
(35:59):
Jimmy Graham may be fit through that. His call sign
should be moro on because he's the only person who
ruined dunking on the goal post by bending a goal
post and making a game odd. I'm so hurt and
you made me sit through that, Dan.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
It hurt me personally right now, all right, Hell, keep
your head up have a good weekend. There might take
al up on that if the Falcons don't make the playoffs.
Scott in Oregon, Hi Scott, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 18 (36:27):
Good morning guys, Happy Friday. Thanks for having me on
the show. First time, long time five eight one seventy.
I am a big Cardinals fan, Arizona Cardinals, and I
had an idea maybe for a segment if you guys
would be interested in doing it on Fridays as we
head into the weekend and we have thoughts about things
(36:48):
we'd love to see. I think there could be ideas.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Like wouldn't it be cool?
Speaker 18 (36:53):
So, just as an example, as a Cardinals fan plays
Campbell re signed with Arizona Cardinals this year. He played
for eighteen seasons and his first season was with the
earson the Cardinals obviously as a Orgie and he they
made the Super Bowl that year, but they haven't done
anything close to that since. But since then he's won
all kinds of honors including you know, the Walter Pateon
(37:15):
Man of the Year, so on and so forth. So
my via is kind of like, wouldn't it be cool
if Kalaius Campbell before he retired, got that Super Bowl
with the team that he was originally drafted with.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
And that's my thought.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Take it off off Hereday, thank you, Scott, thank you.
We'll give your thoughts some thought. Thank you. How about
the best week in sports? Who has their best week
in sports? Nominees? Oh Todd raised his hand quickly. I
feel good in sports.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, I feel good about the Milwaukee Brewers. They've won
twelve their last thirteen. But since it's the last week.
They did sweep the Dodgers in LA in this recent
past week, first place in l Central Game ahead of
the Cubs sixty one and forty one Milwaukee Brewers look out.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, it's it's been an impressive run since uh mid
to late May.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Seaton.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Who had the best week in sports in your opinion?
I'm gonna say it was, you know me to come
back to Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham, Jimmy thought this week
in sports he rode across the Arctic Ocean. Yes he did,
(38:28):
and that's very impressive. Marvin who had the best week
in sports?
Speaker 9 (38:33):
Maybe not as a team, but show hal Tani. He's
been on a tear lately, so he's had the best
week in sports. Not the Dodgers to show Hale Toni
by himself.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
All right, Paul, who had the best week in sports?
Speaker 6 (38:43):
This is a bit convoluted, but you mentioned Paige Becker's
the Dallas Wings. She's having a great season. She was
the National Player of the Year as a freshman. Then
she got injured and Caitlyn Clark took all the coverage
for years and years. And it's ironic and I didn't
wish for it, of course, but Caitlin Clark being out
this year has given an extra spotlight to Page Becker's
rookie year that she may not have gotten as much
(39:05):
of if Kitlin were playing.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Good week, Yeah, good week for Page? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Will in Florida, Hi, Will, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (39:16):
Hey, Hey, good morning. Was just calling y'all talking earlier
about the movie that you'd like to be a part of,
and I'd like to share mine. I'd like to be
in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and play the part
of Brad because I got a lot of experience in
that role.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Thank you, Will, delivering food, his gavering fish and chips
hired out with it. That's what Yeah, Judge Reinhold, Judge Reinhold,
I remember we got a hold of him. We were
talking about that movie, and all of a sudden, I said, Fritzy,
reach out and see you can get Judge Reinhold. And
(39:57):
we had nothing planned, and then all of a sudd
Judge Reinhold joins us and talks about that scene in
Fast Times at Richmond High. Adam in West Virginia, Hi, Adam,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (40:12):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (40:13):
On the movie Rolls, I think the Sixth Sense with
Donnie Wahlberg.
Speaker 14 (40:18):
I'm forty four years old and that.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Still cares me.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
And Matt Damon and euro Trip.
Speaker 16 (40:26):
Scotty doesn't know Man.
Speaker 13 (40:28):
That song lives rent free in my head because of that.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Good choices there, Adam, Good choices. Scotty in Florida, Hi Scotty.
Speaker 17 (40:39):
Hey Dan, five eight bucks sixty. Perhaps a future poll question,
do you spell Scotty with a Y like I spell it?
Or Scotty with an ie like Scottie Scheffler spells it.
But the small part that I would like to be
in a movie, and I'm going to classify this at
(40:59):
a mid major. I want to be Paulie from all
the Rocky movies.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Okay, Man, Bert young Sprice Fritzy didn't take that since
he there's a slight resemblance to Bert Young. It's too
close to home. Is that why you shy away from that?
Because you don't think you look like Burt Young?
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yes, that's exactly what actually.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Joe and Washington, Hi, Joe.
Speaker 16 (41:27):
Hey, fellas.
Speaker 15 (41:28):
Just I know we're talking about movies, but I want
to quickly switch the conversation to music. I know we
normally do best worst weekend? Can I give you a
best of a week night?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Hurry up?
Speaker 17 (41:42):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (41:43):
I saw Steven Wilson Junior this week and Spokane and
it was the best show I've ever been to in
my life. And I have you guys to think because
this show is how I found out about him.
Speaker 16 (41:52):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Oh that's great. Yeah, if you get an opportunity to
see Steven Wilson Jr. A wonderful, wonderful perform and we
were glad to have him on the show and give
you an opportunity to sample his music, and we hope
to see him coming up this fall. Derrick Henry will
join us coming up in about twenty five minutes from now,
