Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour in this Wednesday Dan and the Dan Edge
Dan Patrick Show. And yes, I know what you're probably thinking.
Didn't you have a bet with Fritzie about Travis Kelcey
and Taylor Swift getting engaged? Well, we sort of did,
and then it became would they get married? And I
was going to hit Todd in the face with a
wedding cake, but we went back thanks to one of

(00:26):
our listeners, we found the clip and it's semantics there.
But how about this, Todd, they will get married before
I retire or I will take a wedding cake to
the face. That sounds reasonable, okay, But if they do
get married, yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Then I'm doing a wedding cake in the face for sure.
If they get married before February twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Eight, yeah, yeah, se some people suggesting that Todd has
to or well I should say the loser, we're just assuming.
I kind of feel like Todd did lose, that he
has to bake the cake and then eat the cake
that he baked.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
MM.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Be good content.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's certainly a new punishment that we haven't done, and
that would be I think a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
All right, I would have to have a fire extinguisher nearby.
If Todd is going to be baking a wedding cake,
I'm up for that. If I lose, I have to
bake it. And then, Todd, you smashed me in the
face with it. Are you up for baking a cake
and smashing yourself in the face.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
If everyone has to eat a piece of the monstrosity
and swallows.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
It, I think the punishment is you have to eat
your own monstrosity.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
But for me to agree to this, we're changing the uh,
the initial plan.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Okay, much like you changed the initial bet that Dan
proposed to you numerous times in that audio.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
We could play that.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
We could play that back then, Dad, the last week
I said to engage it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, don't you think that's what I did? I went
and I just threw an engagement like that. But you
might as well have so, Yeah, you have to get married.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
And then in case, Dan numerous times said Todd, do
you think they will be engaged? And you said I
believe they will not be married. You kept changing what
he was saying. This is why the semantics thing is
is so typically Todd.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Fritz, Okay, let okay, this is this is May of
this year. I believe was it May of this year
or last year that I said this last year? Okay,
we can have another vote here. I have no problem
with another vote because I think Todd is owed a
wedding cake to the face. Want the the under that
they don't get married once again, keep in mind wedding

(02:31):
cake to the face. Yes, I like it. How serious
are you wedding willing to take a wedding cake to
the face that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey don't get married?

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Todd?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I will ask this question, what if they decide to
be partners like Oprah Stedman, does that count as marriage?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
No? I need have been going down the aisle and
exchanging value. I need an engagement. I'm going to say
they're not going to be all right, I'll wedding cake
to the face. All right.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah, see, you know what, I'll stand corrected. I think
Todd is right. It was marriage the whole time until
the very end, and then you said engaged.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
He was right. But I don't think that's the first
time I brought it up. I think I brought it
up initially when people thought that it was a hoax.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Well, that was that.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Clip was obviously edited to make Todd look better, not
the case at allow. Yeah. I think I brought that
up prior to that when it first happened, and everybody's like, oh,
this is a hoax. They they're not serious about this
is marketing. Yeah, this is marketing, And I went, no,
it's not. I love love and so do they. Yes, Paul.

Speaker 7 (03:37):
You know when people get engaged, right after it happens,
they say, we're getting married. The bet was are they
getting married? They are getting married?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Like they're not married. They're getting married right now. They're
more likely to get married, but I still don't know.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
They've entered the process of marriage.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Let's go around the room again. Seaton should Todd a
wedding cake to the face?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know, as much as I really want him to,
I'm gonna say no, oh okay, I'm changing my vote
actually and saying I was wrong.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Okay, Marvin, No, Paul.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
In the spirit of the bet, I now think, yes,
they are getting married.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I say yes as well, Todd. You have the deciding vote.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
But they have to complete the act of marriage.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
And that clip it set married that it's get married
and engaged. If you want to just go by the
number of words of married engaged. It was two to
one married to engage in that clip. We could play
it back again.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
We had other conversations when it first happened. I mean
I could wait and do if you want to. But yeah,
get Dylan maybe on the Gambling podcast tomorrow I can
ask those guys. I'm sure Shale'll have a nice comment.
College football, you got a five day run here, enjoy it,
take advantage of it because then the NFL starts. But

(04:59):
games on Thursday, you got Saturday, you got Sunday, Monday night.
Bill Belichick an underdog in his debut. By the way,
most cars on the road could use a little TLC Maco.
That's what they do. And Mako. You know when you
it's PAULI did this. He just took his truck in,
had it all whipped up there, gorge cleaned up. You

(05:20):
get a free estimate. They let you know how much
is going to cost. They work within your budget. Uh oh,
better get Maco. Terrence in Texas, Terrence, thanks for holding
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (05:32):
Well THEA is getting hot down.

Speaker 9 (05:35):
Texas Football's got kickoff.

Speaker 8 (05:37):
Ut number one Texas States in the PAC twelve, Texas
A and M is irrelevant and if you read the
experts on the mess boards, and I need your help
on this understanding Texas Tech is ruining.

Speaker 9 (05:49):
College athletics all of a sudden. I don't really understand
what they're getting at. I saw all these universities, especially Ut,
you know, trotting out Lamberghins. We're already doing this. So
can you kind of help me understand.

Speaker 10 (06:02):
Why they may be okay, a little brother a little
bit that they're quote unquote ruining.

Speaker 9 (06:06):
College athletics while Miles Stayton, Georgia have thirty million dollars
for low rosters.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I gotta be honest, Terrence. I haven't been following Texas
Tech football in a while since Mahomes was there. But
I don't know if they're giving people Lamborghinis. This stuff's
been going on for a long long time and will
continue even with nil, even with collectibles, they're collectives. They're
still going to do this. They're going to entice you.

(06:34):
There's going to be stuff that you're going to get. Okay,
they're going to do that, whether it's above or below board.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, Suton, Yeah, I'm not really following that story either,
But According to a very quick Google search, Texas Tech
has committed to about a fifty five million dollar athletics
budget and is expected to pay a significant amount of
nil deal out of that. So and it's basically one

(07:03):
of the highest paying athletic departments this year.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, you shouldn't be surprised at anything. I thought that
they had put limits on how much that you could
spend at each school, But even then that's not going
to stop this from happening. Do you really think they're
going to go how much money have we spent? Well,
you got twenty two million. Could we go over like three.

Speaker 11 (07:26):
Hundred thousand dollars? Yeah? Sure, who's gonna care.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Hey, this guy's gonna want three point five million and
he wants a car. Can can Tommy? Can Tommy help
us down there at Chevrolet dealership? Yeah, yeah, we can
do that. That's what's gonna happen. That's what happened before.

Speaker 12 (07:43):
Yes, Martin, especially in Texas of all places, nothing should
surprise you when it comes to college recruiting in the
state of Texas.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Look no further than SMU. I mean, come on, the
trans am. Nobody should be yes, And I don't even
know if they really, you know, hit it very well. Yeah,
Pauli three.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
Years ago running back for Texas Bjon Robinson. He got
a Lamborghini deal with a local Lamborghini dealership. It was
an above board anild.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Of course, it was all the other things that aren't
above board. But this is it's going to continue to happen.
It's big business. It's just like ask Michigan. Hey, you
guys are going to get maybe nationally embarrassed for a
couple of days, and there's an asterisk and it's going
to cost you twenty five million dollars for a national title.

(08:32):
You know what they're all going to say, all right,
we're good. Uh, Nate in La Hi, Nate, what's on
your mind?

Speaker 13 (08:42):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (08:42):
Did I do it?

Speaker 10 (08:43):
I could love story, But first I want to give
you guys something to think about. People were rooting against
their love beginning with space. So should it be engagement
be equivalent to getting married? Should at least get an engagement.

Speaker 14 (08:58):
Part of the face?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh okay, okay, hold on, let me just vote on that.
How about an engagement pie to the face for Todd?
Not a wedding cake.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
I gotta jump in and say, why is that assuming
that I'm against their relationship. I wanted them to break up,
and I think it was for publicity. I never said
any of those things. I'm glad they're together. I don't
like the cheeks, but I got nothing.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Travis.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I think you.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Should wear your tuxedo from when you got married on
the day that they get married.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I probably should get dressed up for them.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Do you still have it?

Speaker 11 (09:30):
Do I still have it?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I have to look.

Speaker 11 (09:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (09:32):
It may have to be.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Uh, I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna guess you rented.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I think I bought something. I just don't know if
I still have it.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Well, thank you, Nate, uh Raj in Chicago, Hey Raj, Hey.

Speaker 15 (09:46):
Miss Patrick, thanks for taking my call. Uh I was
just watching on Peacock and it was showing the whole
clip of Rob Tucker talking about Tamasworth over Prince and
I know we talked about whenever you retire and have
you no en might step in. I thought of Ross
took her before, but now I'm not going to tell
you a guest that leave it at the day nest
and take over the show once she retired. Only because

(10:08):
he picked Taylor Swift over my man Prince Now.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well he did. I saw the clip, Raj, thank you,
and I even said to Mario the director, I said, oh,
that's not good. I think he said that Taylor Swift
has ten songs better than Prince's best song, and I went,
I just don't do that. They don't need to go
down that road. Uh, Taylor Swift doesn't have ten songs
better than whatever song you want to pick with Prince

(10:33):
if Purple Rain, she does not have ten songs better
than that. Yeah, see how many songs does she have?
Just maybe three? I wouldn't I wouldn't take Now, she's
an incredible songwriter.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
She is.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
But let's how about they can just live in their
separate worlds there. We don't need to bring them together.
Just let's let's rest his soul. Prince don't want to
ruin his day where all of a sudden we're talking
about him compared to Taylor Swift. Now you want to
compare him to somebody else, okay, or influences okay, but

(11:10):
not Taylor Swift. Yes, Tona, shake it Off or win
Dove's craft. Thank you, ton Jay and Delaware, I Jay,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 16 (11:22):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call just a quick thought.
I thought it would be quite poetic. They got married
in May of twenty twenty seven, three years to the anniversary,
So three years to the anniversary of that little sound clip.
I put way too much thought into this because I
watched the New Heights podcast and I think Taylor and

(11:44):
Jason's white have gotten pretty close. I think Kelly's gonna
be the maid of honor, and all their families Northeastish
like her families at Pennsylvania. His family's mostly in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
So I feel like it's going to be like up
in the Hampton's kind of like an elite front of
it a state area up there.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
So that was my thought. Thanks Anne, all right, thank you.
Jay gave it a lot of thought there. I'm still
going Selena Gomess maid of honor. And I think uh
Taylor has a mansion in Rhode Island, right on the water.
I agree with Pauline Baker in Illinois, Hi Bake, what's
on your mind today?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Hey Bud? I guess I want to say a couple
of things with all of fritzy semantics that after they
get married, he's probably going to ask for evidence of
the consummation of the marriage.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
No, we're just gonna we're gonna assume that they they've
gotten married when when people shows the wedding pictures. But
thank you for that. We can't let Todd weezel out
of what does part of you think.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
That they would have a small marriage, because there's so
many people that these guys know that you don't want
to offend anybody or anyone's feelings on so many but
probably on the fence as to whether they thought they
were going to get invited or not. By making it
something very small, you won't upset lots and lots of
people that thought they were going to be included.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
But are you going to have a reception?

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Are you not?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
You're going to have everything really small, And I'd be concerned.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Obviously they have all the money in the world to
have a thousand people there, but I would be concerned.
It's like, oh my god, I can't believe we forgot
so and so, and there's going to be a lot
of people with hurt feelings that they weren't including how.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Many people you think went to Jeff Bezos's wedding.

Speaker 12 (13:31):
Too many?

Speaker 11 (13:31):
A lot?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
About four hundred, five hundred two hundred. That is a
really difficult job when you start to pare down the
list of those who were in, those are out, those
are on the bubble. I mean, it's sort of like
March Madness, but for a wedding reception, Like I don't know. Yeah, well,

(13:53):
I haven't heard from him in a while. I've done
this before, and I have a daughter engaged, and I
already said, you know, when you start to look at
that guest list, they are gonna be names where you go, well, yeah,
I like her. I don't know about him.

Speaker 7 (14:10):
Yeah, Pauline, did you guys, either accidentally or on purpose
not invite someone to your wedding and you regretted it later?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I accidentally didn't invite a couple of people. Yeah, and
I regretted that, But at the time I was in
love and it didn't matter. I didn't care. That was
my excuse. I'm sorry. I was in love pros by that. Yeah. Yeah,
yeh see.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
I definitely have people that I regret not inviting. There's
probably some people you regret in binding. Well, you know,
part of it is like you know, like there are
old family friends that have known me since the day
I was born that were like my parents' best friends
that I was like, no, we're just doing like immediate
family and stuff like that, and I should have thought
of them as family, and I really regret not doing that.

(14:55):
I was a little too strict with the wording of like, no,
it's just this, they have psolutely should have been there.
And then especially because like a year later, a bunch
of the people that we work with and no longer
work with it anymore, and they all got invited because
like I had to invite the people that you got
to invite all those people and then really, at least

(15:17):
seventy five percent of them I've never spoken to again.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I was stupid. I was looking at my wedding album recently.
There are people I don't even know. I said to
my wife, I go on, who is that? She goes,
I don't know, Like there were a couple of people
I did not know who they were. But when you
get married, you go to reception, you got to go
to each table. Hi hi hi, hi hi, And I

(15:41):
just remember there are people I didn't know or people
I did know and I haven't seen since then. And
I've been married thirty eight years and you're going, why
was he invited? And then we had these gifts, like
when you left, you got a picture frame that, you know,
just as a thank you, and people were stuffing them

(16:01):
in their pockets and I'm going, it's it's a silly
wedding frame for you, And they were taking extras like, yes, Marvin,
I'm not.

Speaker 12 (16:13):
Sure if I regret not inviting anybody, but I do
regret not going to every every table.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I didn't do that.

Speaker 12 (16:19):
I didn't go to anyone, said my wife.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Dude.

Speaker 12 (16:21):
I was like, no, I'm out here on the floor.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh okay, yeah, I had no interest in going with
the bridesmaids.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Okay, all right, Marvin. Yes, Tom, there's still another layer
where you can't win.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
If you did invite someone that was on the fence,
then they're crying about how they went. Why would I
at table six? I don't even know any of these people.
Then you're gonna have those groups of people that were included.
How many times have you gone to it? Av, It's like,
why am I at this table with their close friends
and the family at table too, not table six?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yes, Yeah, that's true where you're like, I don't know
if any hi, Hi, I'm dan. Yeah, that's when you
realize you were barely invited.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, you're all the way at table eleven, but you
have no idea who any of these were.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
I was on the bubble. I probably was on the
bubble for a couple of them. Yeah, that happened to us.
Like I guess morning of the wedding or like reception
is just about to start and I get a call
from either my soon to be wife or just currently
my wife and being like, you need to come down
here right away. And we got our reception was in

(17:17):
this sort of like barn, and the way the tables
were laid out her like we were sitting at like whatever,
this like head table kind of thing, and then her
parents were right next to us, and my parents were
like all the way in like the back underneath some stairs.
It was like the worst seating ever. And we're like, uh,

(17:37):
this needs to change, Like you can't stuck my parents
all the way under there.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
We will talk to the Dolphins, said coach Mike McDaniel,

Speaker 2 (18:53):
This is mean spirited, but funny Scotti. Scheffler has seventeen
wins since twenty two. That's more than the Panthers, the Bears,
the Cardinals, the Titans, and the Patriots. Steat of the day,
stat of the day, That beast stat of the day.
Stat of the day.

Speaker 14 (19:15):
Here comes that?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
What stat of the day? Mike McDaniel, fourth season as
the Dolphins head coach and of course a star wide
receiver with the Yale Bulldogs official height and weight coach.

Speaker 11 (19:31):
Five nine and undisclosed because at.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yale you were five nine one seventy five. But that
feels like that might have been inflated a little bit.

Speaker 11 (19:42):
You know, it was actually closer to my true weight
at that time.

Speaker 18 (19:46):
I was inflated. My body wasn't really built for that weight.
But I was taking a lot of supplements at the.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Time, Okay, legal supplements of course.

Speaker 11 (19:57):
Of course above brow.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Were you Julian Edelman before Julian Edelman?

Speaker 11 (20:04):
Yes, end statement. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (20:11):
Now, I was limited to an inside receiver route tree
because of lack of linear speed and as quicker than
fast as they'd say, And I did a lot of
coaching while playing, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
How about forty yard Danish if you race Tyreek Hill, Yeah,
he would get me, he would.

Speaker 11 (20:35):
I had to think about it.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Okay, is there anybody closer to him speed wise?

Speaker 18 (20:42):
Yeah, there's I think there's a lot of guys that
are that are that are fast, particularly on our team.
But I think what makes his speed unique is the acceleration.
You know, it's he gets top speed very quick. He's
almost top speed on the third step of a route

(21:04):
when he's motioning. So the quickness and speed is hard
to it's hard to match.

Speaker 11 (21:13):
But there's several guys on the.

Speaker 18 (21:14):
Team that will with absolute certainty say that they're faster
than him, even though they don't have a time as
fast as his.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
But if you're calling plays knowing that he's so quick
at like, does it change if you're calling something, Let's
say it's third and seven, you just want to get
him the ball because of that acceleration, not he has
to go out seven or eight yards.

Speaker 11 (21:39):
No, you know, quite literally.

Speaker 18 (21:41):
One of the positives of being in the same offensive
system for my entire career, you know, I came in
two thousand and five learning Mike Shanahan's and have stayed
with it is realistically the what the offense is is
a product of people's skill sets. So we do a
lot of timing motion because we can utilize Tyreek and

(22:05):
Waddell and et cetera at that that their unique skill sets.
So pretty much, Uh, you know, all all players skill
sets for us now in the system are it was
kind of adapted to them and try to use their
their best skills most frequently.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
When did that change? It felt like when quarterbacks were drafted,
certainly in my era, that you had to adapt to
that coach and his philosophy where it feels like Cam
Newton when he came in, it felt like Carolina says, Hey,
we're going to cater to your needs. I don't know
if you remember since you were there with Shanahan and five, Uh,

(22:50):
did you see something a seismic shift where you're kind
of adapting your audience or your your offense to that
quarterback you're taking.

Speaker 18 (23:00):
Yeah, I think, uh, you just hit on something super
interesting because the whole the whole tree underneath. Kyle Shanahan
learned that in twenty twelve when we had a rookie
RG three at quarterback and we're gonna jump into the
game of zone read and Uh, realistically, we completely adapted.

(23:26):
You know, I was an offensive assistant, you know, Matt
Lafleur was the quarterback coach. Sean McVay was the Titans coach.
Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
You know.

Speaker 18 (23:38):
Raheem Morris was the defense or secondary coach. Bobby Sloak
was outside linebackers coach. All these people first hand where
we had our offense from what we ran in Houston
and extension Denver and then retooled it in Washington, and

(24:01):
then for for me personally and and Kyle, we went
we got fired and then went to Cleveland and had
a job and didn't want to get fired. So we
tried to adapt to those players. And then we did
the same thing when we went to Atlanta. So it
was it's.

Speaker 11 (24:17):
Really in the course of the journey.

Speaker 18 (24:21):
Early on, we we had the opportunity to, you know, directly,
you know, evolve the offense, to cater to players' needs.
And you know, I've kind of seen everything through that
lens since.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Most talented quarterback you've ever been around.

Speaker 18 (24:39):
Talented at what the quack quarterbacking. You know, I would
I would say, uh, you know, Matt Ryan was up
there but I think two was probably the most talented quarterback.
The most talented UH speed threat was probably Robert Griffin

(25:01):
the third. You know, so he was fast and before
the defense schematically caught up to us. You know, he
do his Rookie of the Year for a reason. Matt
Ryan played the game in a unique way that really
changed a lot of stuff that we do in the

(25:22):
dropback game based upon how how good he was.

Speaker 11 (25:25):
And then there was one of the.

Speaker 18 (25:28):
Best quarterbacks at play action pass that's super underrated was
Matt Schaub. He was He was really good at utilizing
Andrew Johnson's speed and being able to avoid sacks while
getting explosives.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Talking to Mike McDaniel, four season is the Dolphins head coach.
You start out, you got Indy at Andy, then host
New England at Buffalo, and then host New York. How
much pressure do you feel?

Speaker 4 (25:57):
No.

Speaker 18 (25:58):
I always think that's funny because I think I would
have to be delusional to not, you know, expect. You know,
I think you take a job like this and you're
working in the NFL, and for me, I'm preparing to
have this job, and then I take the job, and
I'm very much aware of the black and white reality

(26:20):
of you know, wins and losses and how things, how
you're able to you know, sustain the job and keep
the job and involve the program is all based on,
you know, the nuts and bolts of winning and losing games.
So I think everything that I do to prepare has
always been to kind of be my.

Speaker 11 (26:42):
Best self in moments of pressure.

Speaker 18 (26:46):
And yeah, I mean I know it exists, but I
don't feel it because it's kind of you know, ingrained
or attached to what I understand this job to be.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
How much do you take home with you?

Speaker 11 (27:01):
You know, the gift of uh, you know, my one
and only.

Speaker 18 (27:06):
Daughter has has really helped, uh, you know, create some
boundaries for myself. You know, I carry stuff through the
through the car ride home, but when I get home,
especially when you have a short compressed time to to
be something that's you know, pillar of importance in who

(27:27):
you are as a person, which is being a father
for me, I get to I get the gift of
being able to get home, see her face, engage her,
and try to leave it at work, because you have
to be balanced in life to have your edge at
your performance really for whatever you're doing. So you know,

(27:52):
I think earlier in my career, I struggled to do that,
but my daughter's really helped me out with that one.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
When you were growing up and you were getting those
autographs when you go to the Broncos camp, do you
still have those autographs?

Speaker 11 (28:05):
I do in a trunk somewhere.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
What are some of your favorite autographs that you got
when you were a kid?

Speaker 11 (28:11):
I had.

Speaker 18 (28:13):
I had a one sleeve of cards like in the plastic,
but it was a sleeve and a binder that kept
all the autographs, and it was probably the John oly page.
I had about seven of them because I was a
relentless obsessed daily visitor at Denver Brock's training camp. So

(28:34):
those were probably my favorite. Or you know, the the
Robert del Pino one that led.

Speaker 11 (28:38):
To UH to me meeting my my stepdad.

Speaker 18 (28:45):
That was probably the two best ones that that got
me H connected with Mike Shanahan in the first place.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Okay, so explain that because it wasn't it an assistant coach, right?
Explain how your mom met her your stepdad?

Speaker 11 (29:01):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 18 (29:01):
It's the normal nuclear family trajectory of a child introducing UH.

Speaker 11 (29:11):
Mother and stepfather.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Of course, happens all the time.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
Yeah, so I was getting autograph.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (29:21):
Well, I would go to Denver Bronco training camp and
uh and get autographs daily. I had a Charlotte Hornets
fitted loud purple and teal hat and uh it was noticeable.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
So I got Robert Delpino's autograph earlier in the day.
I wanted to.

Speaker 18 (29:40):
Get another one. As an only child, I guess I
just wanted more. So I put the hat down, got
the autograph, came back, the hat was gone. I was
about nine at the time, so I was crying and
a member of the Broncos was uh interested in while
I was freaking out.

Speaker 11 (29:59):
I told him about the hat. He took down the measurements.

Speaker 18 (30:01):
A couple of days later, he saw me again at
training camp because I was automatic at Lawrence Hall at
the time, and he he gave me a hat with
a price.

Speaker 11 (30:13):
Tag on it.

Speaker 18 (30:14):
He went out to the Greeley mall and bought me
a hat, and so then I thought he was worthy
of meeting my mother. So I introduced them and they
got married and moved to Denver and was as a result.
He was an assistant video guy for for the Broncos,
and I got to at age fourteen, I was a

(30:34):
ball boy through high school and you know, really got
in the NFL door.

Speaker 11 (30:43):
You know, being able to be.

Speaker 18 (30:44):
Around the guys and stuff from you know, before I
could drive.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Well, speaking of love, your reaction to Travis Kelsey and
Taylor Swift getting engaged was what.

Speaker 11 (30:57):
Oh you just told me? I didn't know, that's my reaction.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
How do you not know?

Speaker 18 (31:05):
Well, you, uh, you keep yourself from anything that's multimedia,
and then, uh, you make yourself a terrible conversation when
people bring up pop culture and you do that over time,
and then you don't know anything that you uh, you know,
I'm pumped to hear about it now, I guess, you know.

Speaker 11 (31:27):
I think there's layers to to my reaction.

Speaker 18 (31:30):
You know, you know, I'm hoping it's a loved love
based relationship and you know, and good for them, you.

Speaker 11 (31:40):
Know, finally finally they're not.

Speaker 18 (31:43):
I mean, finally they're doing it the old fashioned way,
you know, where people shouldn't really enter into any escapades
unless they're married.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
So, now, if one of your guys gets engaged, do
you expect to be invited to the wedding.

Speaker 18 (32:00):
I'm the boss, like, so I appreciate if I am,
But my expectation is that nobody wants to hang out
with me ever that I'm the boss.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Of Are you a buzzkill?

Speaker 11 (32:13):
No, it's just the.

Speaker 18 (32:14):
Nature of boss, you know. The nature of boss is like,
all right, this isn't work. Why do I feel like
it's work? Oh, because there's the guy that may or
may not be judging me, you know, So I don't
get my feelings hurt. I don't have high expectations for that,
just understanding the role and responsibility.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Always great to catch up with you, Thanks for joining us,
Good luck starting the season.

Speaker 11 (32:40):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
That's uh. Mike McDaniel. Four season is the Dolphins head coach.
They were eight to nine last year, and they open
up at Indy, host New England, at Buffalo and hosts
New York. I never know with his delivery if he's
being serious, Yes, Tom, he's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
I don't think he has any idea. I don't know
if it's just the dead pet and the way he
says what he's saying. But we're just we were thoroughly
ed detained by all of that over here.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Thank you, Tom. You would never guess if I said, Hey,
what's that guy? Do for a living. I don't think
you'd go well. Obviously a football coach, he could be
with the delivery. Now, if you had good material, it
could be a comedian. That kind of delivery, deadpan delivery,
kind of sneaky. All right, Last call for phone calls?

This day in sports history. I don't know how long
ago this was Marvion. Maybe you can refresh my memory.
But Fritzi wrote a poem and I think it had
to do with Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift

(34:04):
breaking up with Travis Kelcey. Does that sound right?

Speaker 12 (34:07):
I think it was Fritzy writing Taylor Swift's lyrics after
her and Travis Kelcey would break up.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh okay, do we know the song that it would
have been. No, so he's just Oh, he's writing the
lyrics for her to come up with me correct, So
he's not singing. Oh, he's just reciting the lyrics. He
expected them to break up, not get engaged, and then
take a pot or cake to the face.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
And then she proceeded to write a song being all
upset and hurt and being writing a mean song about Travis.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Kelcey in the relation.

Speaker 12 (34:36):
Oh okay, yes, mar, it's from September twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
M okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
He holds up that trophy, but I won't be his
things started out so bubbly. Now all that's left is fizz.
He runs all sorts of patterns and ran around on me.
Now he's all about himself. When I thought that it
was we They loved him in Kansas City until he barbecued.
My heart too late to come crawling back. Learn how

(35:05):
to finish what you start. You fumbled your big chance.
I'm selling out the Domes. You take way too much credit.
Everyone knows it's all mahomes. I hope you're tossing and
turning and can't even sleep that you're holding my letter
so read it and weep. You still picture me in
your arms. But we've had our last cuddle. Move on

(35:26):
with your life. Eighty seven. We've had our last huddle.
You told me you loved me.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Wow, that was a load.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Here's your helmet in pads, Travis. It's tight end of
the road, emotional.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
And nailed it.

Speaker 11 (35:39):
What a prediction.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Read that's so serious? Yeah you did. It is absolutely
Dateline in North Carolina, not to be confused with hard
copy Hi Dateline.

Speaker 14 (35:49):
Hey Dan Dennetts, how are you good? All right? So
I do love the idea of the whole Fritzy pine
in the face waiting for the wedding delaye that and
do it in dress. That's a great idea. But I'll
do one more option. How about and do it now?
Has him baked, the cakes, have mushrooms in it, and
has him eat it. I think we all need to

(36:11):
see Fretzy on her lootener Jovick mushroom.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
We do not, we we do not, But thank you
Daylon Dennis in Long Beach, Hi Dennis.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
Good morning, gentlemen. Six five. That was thirty one years
ago on my wedding day. I'm now shorter and heavier
I've got a pie of the face bed if anybody
wants to take it. And it's that Travis Kelsey retires
at the end of the season and their marriage is
before six months from the end of the Super Bowl,

(36:44):
so that would put it at August sixth a Saturday.
And I have to be a fruit pie. None of
this creamy pi sed up the fruit that gets.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
All over you. Now, I'm I wouldn't be surprised if
they got married next year. I don't know if they're
gonna go. We're gonna wait a couple of years. But
thank you, Dennis Sewn and Sacramento. Hi Sean.

Speaker 19 (37:09):
Yea, my uncle from another mother and my brother behind
the boy. First of all, Fritzy, you deserve a cake
to the face just for that terrible, terrible I don't
know what that a song or paulm I know what
that was. Man, usually my man, but that was bad.
After all your discussion about the wedding, Man, why doesn't
Travis and Taylor just go ahead and the lope take
it to New zealand.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
Take it to Fiji.

Speaker 14 (37:28):
No eyes on you guys, say stuck.

Speaker 19 (37:30):
It to the world and then throw a party for
the family when you get back home. That decision I
made in my entire life was a lope and I
spend it all that money for a month in Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
All right, thank you, Sean. Yeah, I think that, you know,
just get married someplace. You want to hold a party
at your mansion in Rhode Island. It's gonna be tough though,
trying to have something that you can control. And you
guy have the Paparaji. Remember when when Sean Penn and
Madonna got married and they were helicopter there's that's the

(38:01):
first time I remember where I was like, oh my god,
like this was crazy and he wanted to fight every
member of the media, every photographer. Sean Penn. It was
at I think Madonna's place in California. Yeah, Marvin, should
I know that they were married?

Speaker 14 (38:20):
Is it my age.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Before your time? I think with Sean Penn and Madonna? Okay, yeah.
And I was wondering, is there anything that compares to this?
And Joe Demagio had retired three years when he married
Marilyn Monroe, and Marilyn Monroe was the most famous woman
in the world, but Joe wasn't playing at the time.

(38:43):
I would say Tom Brady and Gizelle, because Giselle was
still the most you know, one of the most famous
women in the world and a supermodel, and you had
Tom at the peak of his career.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
See, I did think there's something pretty iconic about Marilyn Monroe. Yeah,
I mean there's still me and movies about her. I
bet she's still probably a you know, a lot of
people get their her face tattooed and stuff like that.
She's had a real staying power.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
But I do think, you know, Travis is probably only
playing this year that he's done. But you know, Tom
was married to Giselle for a long time while he
was playing, and then Tom decided he was going to
play a little bit longer.

Speaker 12 (39:25):
Yeah, Marv, Well, did his fame increase as much as
Travis's increased because Tom Brady was already Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Well, when you're talking about worldwide though, I mean, I
don't know how many people get caught up in supermodels
anymore around the world, but Taylor Swift's performing around the world,
so yeah, that that heightened Travis Kelsey. You know, there
were probably fans of Taylor Swift who had no idea who.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Travis Kelsey was a massive amount no idea. Most, yes, most.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Then all of a sudden, you know, he shows up
and he's on stage with her, traveling with her. Yeah,
Tom was pretty famous. I don't know how much more
famous he got because of Giselle, but Travis Kelcey and
that was a big, big uptick for his resume. But

(40:19):
I think you have to understand the world that people
live in. That's why famous people usually date famous people,
and it's rare when they go. You know, he was
a director's assistant and I am like Julia Roberts married,
you know, Danny Motor who you know, was like he
was assistant director assistant. I don't know a d or

(40:39):
whatever the terms are, but it's rare. That's why famous
people date famous people because they can kind of relate
to the world that you live in. Let's go around
the room. We learned anything on the program?

Speaker 5 (40:51):
Todd?

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Would you learn former Son's great thunder? Dan Marley called
you in the middle of the night to check in
for some reason.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Yeah, uh, Seeton Todd does not owe so wedding cake
in the fair.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Apparently not. Apparently not. You guys, let him skate.

Speaker 12 (41:05):
Marvin Lindy Ruff is back in Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, who knew? Paul Love one Love love Todd? What
did I learn?

Julian Edelman before Julian Edelman.
