for hour two. Rob Gronkowski honored last night Patriots game.
He'll join us coming up here in a little bit.
What's pull question from? Well, let's clean up our one
and then what'll we doing hour two?

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Dylan?

Speaker 6 (01:02):
All right, So from our one, which NFL team is
in the best shape for the next five years?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
That the Patriots are.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
Running away with it out of the Broncos lines and commanders.
Okay for this hour, Dan, If you have a Drake
May MVP tickets, I think PAULI said there were plus
six thousand any season. If you're holding one of those
right now, are you holding or selling?

Speaker 7 (01:25):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
How much can I make if I sell?

Speaker 6 (01:27):
Say you say you get half for the sake of argument,
So thirty to one someone will buy.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
It, okay, So I could keep it at sixty to one.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, with the chance it doesn't pay, I would ride it.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'd ride it out and say out one thousand dollars
on Drake May be an MVP.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
They sell it now for thirty or you ride.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
It So I could make thirty thousand dollars today or
the potential for sixty thousand dollars. Yeah, thirty thousands a
lot of money.

Speaker 7 (02:05):
It is.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Safe money.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
But the story, the story that you had him, you
know you can say I had him and I bet
him in the preseason. You know you'll get people say, yeah,
I knew he was going to be great. Yeah, oh,
I thought he was going to be MVP. No, you
actually have a ticket that says I thought he was
going to be MVP.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, I have physical proof I would keep it.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I would keep the sixty sixty to one odds, Yeah, pulling,
I'd keep it.

Speaker 8 (02:37):
Here are the defenses Drake Bay's going against the next
two months, Bengals, Giants, Bills, Ravens, Jets, Dolphins. There's a
lot of wins there.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, if they end up with the best record in
the AFC, he's probably well. Depends on what Matthew Stafford
does with the Rams. If you're looking a league MVP,
they don't do AFC NFC. Yeah, like baseball has American
League nationally. Who would be the MVP between Aaron Judge

(03:12):
and shoe Heyotani if there was only one MVP Otani? Okay, okay,
just throw that out there. By the way, we did
spend a lot of time talking about this first hour.
Aaron Judge, that's his third MVP in the last four years.
Otani has won four in the last five years. So
you get the big markets, you get true superstars, you

(03:35):
get future Hall of Famers, all time greats. Aaron Judge
got seventeen of thirty first place votes, cal Rawley received
the other thirteen, and sho Heyotani went thirty For thirty
on his votes as well, first time in baseball history,
first time both MVPs from one season repeated the following season.

(04:12):
Stat of today I brought to you by Panini America
and Aaron Judge appears to be getting better after the
age of thirty, and there are concerns that big swing.
I think that he is he's made himself a better player.
I think he's he's limited the pitches that he's going after.
Now he's just a smarter hitter. And of course when

(04:34):
he hits it, it's gone. Yes, Dylan, I.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Know people are kind of out on it, but that
on batting average, but batting three.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Thirty today with that power is pretty impressive people. Okay,
but let's make up our mind.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Does batting average matter or doesn't because we seem to
factor it in when we wanted to matter, And then
with cal Rawly would be like, well, nobody cares about
batting average, So let's can we make up our mind here?
Because it used to mean something, but that was back
when I was young. That's a long time ago. You
took great pride in the number of strikeouts and what

(05:10):
your batting average was. Then you put in all the
other stats there, But you know, does fielding matter anymore?

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Do we care?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Used to be you knew the gold Glove winners. We
don't care. We don't focus on it. It's not a
big deal.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I brought up cal Rawly is a gold glove catcher. Nobody,
you know, it's like, okay, great, what's that meaning like?
And he's out there every single game?

Speaker 3 (05:40):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
And I did say yes, location factored in, because if
he does that, he's the second coming of Thurman Munson,
if he's a Yankee, and if Aaron Judge does it,
it's like there's a there's a curiosity of Wow, that guy,
that big guy is hitting a lot of home runs.
Nobody's fullocusing on his batting average. We focus on home runs.

(06:05):
That's it, and strikeouts that's it. Now we're getting better.
I think baseball's coming back to where it used to be,
or at least is on the doorstep. But yeah, we
can't bring up batting average, and then we don't care
about batting average.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, Pauline, I looked at your Aaron Judge stat.

Speaker 8 (06:23):
In his twenties, in six seasons, he had one hundred
and fifty eight home runs in his thirties, only four seasons.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, all right, eight, seven to seven to three DP
show David Ohio, Hi, Dave, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Hey Dan? How you doing good?

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Bud?

Speaker 7 (06:44):
Hey, this was calling. You're really frustrated with guys like
Jose Ramirez not getting nearly enough close for MVP. I
don't think either Judge or.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Rollie what's his name could be?

Speaker 7 (06:57):
Yeah, er, thank you could have done what he did
and bringing the Indians to the playoffs or the guardians
of the playoffs are getting nobody hitting before him or
after him. You know, you're playing either one of those
other two guys in front. Maybe they don't have nearly
the years that they do.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Well.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
He deserved a little bit more love, but those guys
were It was so top heavy one and two between
Judge and Raleigh and Ramirez is a great player, but
you know he's kind of lost in Cleveland. You almost
have to be told or you have to go out
of your way to find something like that. Cal Rawley
had the great nickname. He got a lot of attention.

(07:35):
I mean we had him on probably the first I
don't know, two months of the season, and part of
it was got a great nickname, and he had had
good numbers. He's always been a good catcher, but he
was hitting you know, mid thirty home runs. Then all
of a sudden there was something special there. Let's see

(07:55):
Johnny in West Texas.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Hi, John.

Speaker 9 (07:59):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Okay, So a couple of things.

Speaker 10 (08:02):
First of all, if we all disagree about this Judge
versus cal Rawly thing, does that not devalue the entire
awards system to begin with?

Speaker 11 (08:16):
Also, if Luciano.

Speaker 10 (08:18):
In Brooklyn is going to talk about house arrest and
then segue into talking about Aaron Judge, he needs to
say air and judge because when he goes judge this
judge that I'm still thinking we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Point well taken, John, Yeah, Luciano was he had some issues,
had to go before a judge. He took off his
ankle bracelet and he said that he was he couldn't
get reception for the Dan Patrick show, I think, or
call into the show and the judge let him off.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yes, Martin, if he gets.

Speaker 12 (08:53):
In any more trouble Luciano we're talking about, would you
go to the judge and speak on his behalf?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, I don't know what trouble he's getting into, Like
he he. He wasn't specific that there was an altercation
at the barber shop. I don't know what he did.
I don't want to go in there and go I
you know, I vouched for him. I'm not vouching for
any of you guys. If you got in trouble.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yes, is there gonna be like a court order for
you to appear?

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Now?

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Your name keeps coming up. They're gonna have to talk
to you at some point.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Ben in California. Good morning, Ben, what's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (09:24):
Hi?

Speaker 9 (09:24):
Good morning Dan five seven two twenty sop sock, first
time long time call listener. You know, I was I
was in prison for seven years a while back, and
mycelly and I used to watch you audience channel and
uh when it was on TV when you're on that channel,
uh with you at Verchising and uh, mycelly and I

(09:47):
we wanted to call in so bad that we uh
we we rented a phone out in the prison from
a cell phone from another inmate, and we tried to
call in when we were on hold trying to get in,
we ended up getting caught.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
What happened?

Speaker 9 (10:01):
We got in some trouble.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
How much did it cost to run out of phone in.

Speaker 9 (10:06):
Prison about two hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 9 (10:11):
So it was a costly mistake.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
But this is another prisoner, not from the commissary.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
No, this is another prisoner.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
Correct.

Speaker 10 (10:19):
OK.

Speaker 9 (10:20):
Yeah, No, there's depends of cell phones in prison, just
depends where you're at.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
So you could watch us in prison.

Speaker 9 (10:26):
Yes, I could watch you on TV in prison on
the Audience channel, and then when they got rid of
that channel, we had to go to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
But yeah, well I'm glad I could keep you company, Ben,
And I hope you're doing well on the outside.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
You are on the outside.

Speaker 9 (10:39):
I am on the outside. I'm doing amazing. I've been
out for five years. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Good for you, Thank you Ben. Eh. That's why I
love about this show. Our calendars are up there, huge
sales in prisons. Everyone knows that.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh god, that'd be funny. Hey, I had your calendar
in my It happens happened there is I don't know
what month it is, but Fritzie re enacts the Janet
Jackson Rolling Stone cover where she had her top off
and her husband at the time had his hands over

(11:17):
her breast. Marvin has his hands over Todd's breast not
covering much. Yeah, one of the months there there is nudity.
There is nudity in the calendar. Calendar is available at
danpatrick dot com Autograph calendars and non autographed. Also we
got Tailgate Moonshine as well, Yes, Hu that.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Month, maybe up the whole year in prison on some
of the wall. Who knows?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Simon in Virginia? Hi, Simon, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (11:45):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Hey, Dan, I got a potential pull question for you
if you like it?

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Sure?

Speaker 7 (11:53):
Does Lebron sciatica make him more relatable or more soft?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Uh? He's more relatable to me now because he's getting older.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
But thank you, Simon. I don't think he's soft.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I would never say that about Lebron as far as
physical condition, but having had sciatica, all right, Lebron and
I similar athletes.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Now, Yes, Paul, what exactly? Isa? I just know it hurts.
It's your back and it hurts.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
And there's nothing you can do about it. M I
mean it's kind of somewhat chronic like Onhence you get it.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
No, No, I had it one time. It's like kidney stones.
You never you don't want to get it again. You
don't want to get it the first time, Yes, DoD.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I currently haven't.

Speaker 13 (12:43):
They're saying that I should go for physical therapy for stretching. Basically,
I don't know if it's different than other people, but
you feel painting like your glute and your tush region,
and it goes all the way down your leg, maybe
even all the way to your foot, and it's just
a very tingly cramping sensation that just kind of lingers consistently.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
What else do you have going on?

Speaker 4 (13:00):
I got pretty much a no, you're bronchitis. I just
found you.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
You're the game of operation.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Right, but the right to the right glute down the
back of the leg.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
There were you officially diagnosed with bronchitis, yes, okay, and
officially diagnosed with sciatica.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
That is what they think.

Speaker 13 (13:18):
Yesterday I told that I've been bothered by this for
a few months now, and I explained what it was,
and they think it's a psiatic nerve thing and that
I should go to physical therapy.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Okay, they stretch it out. Then you got the foot issue.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Got the had the planter fasciitis.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
And then you had the forearm issue.

Speaker 13 (13:34):
The forearms got what I swung the whiffle ball back
to yard. Yeah, there's crones and a lot of things
going on.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
Okay, Yeah, paul is bronchitis, uh, contagious.

Speaker 13 (13:43):
They told me I can go to work, but you know,
just keep a keep a safe distance and suck on
my halls and take my my antibiotic and so I
don't want to put your guys at risk.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
So you're coughing right on the back of Paulie's neck.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah, well, I'm trying to put my arm up a
little bit.

Speaker 13 (13:58):
And now we got the window there, so and see
and put up this mirror, you know, somewhere Jones, okay
on the left over there.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yes, we put up that plexaga glass window. Mc lovin
did because you were coughing on him all the time.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, right around this time of the year. I think barking, hacking.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Col it is that this is that time of the year.
And I hear it and I go no, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
No, wheezing, and yeah, it's tough to sleep.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, I know, you got all weekend to convalesce.

Speaker 13 (14:23):
That's right, watch up with some major NFL in college
football games.

Rob Grinkowski four time Super Bowl champ.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
He's a contributor to Fox NFL Sunday in New England,
retiring as a Patriot, and uh second year with the
T Mobile Friday Night five G Lights competition. We talked
about it last year. We'll talk about that coming up.
Great to see you again. What do you see when
you see Drake May?

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, I kind of see a little clone of the
great Tom Brady in ways I mean the way that
he's able to read a defense, the way he's able
to float the ball over coverage and hit his receivers
or hit his tight end. The way he's been able
to get it to the guy that's open, Like say,
instead of forcing the ball, I'll check it down to

(15:55):
the running back and get five yards instead of you
know how, instead of tossing a d and having a
possible interception, He'll hit the He'll hit the guy that's
going underneath, and they will be an eight yard play
and then they'll just keep the chains moving from there.
So Drake May, he's a smart and intelligent football player,
just like Tom Brady. I see a lot of similarities
big time.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
The one thing that would stand out is Drake May's athleticism.
Like he can he can run a little bit. I mean,
was Tom ever athletic fast?

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Well, Tom is very athletic. For not being athletic, I mean,
he was drafted out of high school as a catcher,
you know, as a baseball player, which is shocking. You're like,
oh my gosh, you're a baseball player too. I mean
for not not being able to run super fast, he
still has great running for him, you know, not to
be able to run around in the pocket and move

(16:51):
out to the left and right. He's able to. He
makes up for it, and he's able to read a
defense better than any other quarterback. Tom knows his strengths,
he knows his weaknesses, and he focused on his strength
so much that they became so dominant that it didn't matter.
He didn't that he didn't have the ability to run
the ball for a first down because he didn't need that.

(17:13):
And that's what made Tom so special and that's why
he is the greatest, you know, player of all time
to play as well.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Did you sign a one day contract with the Patriot?

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yes? I did, Yes, I did. I signed it on
Wednesday at twelve fifteen, so I wasn't eligible to play
in the game Thursday night because he fired twelve fifteen
on Thursday afternoon. That's why RKK wanted me to do
a two day contract, but I said, hey, you're gonna
have to give me a signing bonus. So he didn't
like that idea, so he only made me contract.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Could you play at all?

Speaker 5 (17:47):
I feel like if I lined up, you know, if
it's you know, second and goal on the five yard line,
I could definitely give a fade route full speed and
probably complete it, you know, probably go up and make
the play. I would just say, the stamina want to
be there, you know, the athleticism, and put the mind
in the place where it needs to be for that
fifteen seconds. Yes, I can do that for a short

(18:10):
stint of time. But that's all.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
How competitive are you with your place in history among
tight ends.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
As of now? You know, not at all, because it's
all over, you know, it's it's over with. I can't
really you know, change the outcome anymore. It's all set
where it is now. But when I was playing, there's
no doubt want to be one of the greatest to
play the game, you know, And that probably came, you know,
in year two, year three, year four, when I was like,

(18:39):
all right, I can make my place in history. At
the beginning of my career, it wasn't even a thought.
I just wanted to be on an NFL roster. I
just wanted to be able to contribute to the team
and put myself, as you know, in the category of greatest.
You know, that wontn't possibly come to my mind until
at least halfway through my career, and then I was like, man,

(19:00):
you know, if I keep being you know, great on
the football field, that can possibly be in that category.
You know, I wantn't really talk about it much because
you know, you just got to focus on what you
got to focus on and win games and be the
best you know, teammate that you can be, and then
everything else would take care of itself.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
But you look at Kelsey Gates.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I don't know who else you would put in there,
but uh, guns Allis. I guess he put up his
numbers too, which are crazy and pretty pretty good grouping
to be in. But do you if somebody says, oh,
Kelsey's better than you, would you argue back that you're
better than Kelsey?

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Well, in many ways, Travis kelce is better than myself,
and then in many ways I would say I'm better
than Travis kelcey. There's so many variables and tangibles that
go into it because we're kind of different players, but
we play the same position still. I mean, Shannon Sharp
said it best. I mean, I'm not sure exactly how

(19:59):
he put it, but he said like I'm mistake and
like he's sushi. I mean, it's just what you want
that night for dinner and they're both great, but they're
both totally different, and they both taste different, and they're
both different on your palette. So it's all about what
type of offense you're in, how you're getting used, and
we're different players. Like if we play together, that would

(20:19):
be the ultimate combo. But if I'm in a package
where it's an old school offense, you know, it's about
running the ball, it's about just play action. You know,
it's about you know, being in the trenches and beating
down the other team that I would take myself. But
this day and era, with the offense that Travis Kelsey
is in, I feel like he fits way better in
his offense that you know that he's in and I

(20:40):
don't think I would be able to contribute like the
way that he does. So it's all different tangibles and
variables like I said, that go into it. And I
love what Travis Kelsey's doing. And what's remarkable as well
is you know, to be in that category of the greatest,
you got to have longevity too, and that's why Tony
Gonzalez is in. And I mean I played till thirty

(21:01):
seven years old. I'm thirty six. I couldn't imagine me
playing right now, still thirty seven years old. I really
wish I could big time. Travis Kelsey's thirty six. He's
still playing right now, So it's impressive what they're doing.
But also I would say I was a little bit
more crazier and reckless through my twenties. I paid the
price a little bit, Dan, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Couldn't you have played differently, though, Gronk, No, I.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Could have not played differently. That's just a style that
was in me. That's just how I was born to play.
I wouldn't change anything. Hey, hey, groc, if you play
a little less savagey, you know you're gonna have two
or four years left in your career. I would be like,
you know, I'll just stick to the eleven years that
I played. I don't need thirteen because I'm all about
just going fulld out And that's just how I rolled

(21:48):
my whole life. And that's kind of who made That's
kind of what made me Dan. Fake time.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
You know, I go back to when you were first
in the league first couple of years, and they're like, Oh,
they better worry about Gronk. He's doing Keg stands like,
if that's the worst thing that you were doing. I'm like,
you weren't a trouble maker. You played hard, you played hurt.
But I remember somebody was critical of you. Of man,
he's getting crazy, he's doing keg stands.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
Yeah, I remember those days, and now we look at it.
It was so harmless. Everyone's like laughing about it, like
with so much other things going on in this world
and what else is going on in communities? Like people
were worried that I was a troublemaker because I was
doing tech stands.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Are you retired from keg stands?

Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah, I am. It's been a long long time, that's
for sure. But I was doing all that craziness, which
kind of, like I said, made me the player that
I was because I was doing everything full speed. I
was doing everything full speed on the field and off
the field. That was my mindset. And then, like I said,
I want to have changed it because yeah, eleven years,
it got me to play. But if I couldn't be

(22:55):
full speed and I would have lasted thirteen years. I
want to have done that because it doesn't make me
who I am.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Then better beer drinker?

Speaker 5 (23:01):
You are, Brady, Tom actually is Tom Can Pound beer
is faster than anyone that I've ever seen. And beer
drinking is really tough. I do. I drink two beers
now and I'm like, I'm super full and bloated and
I'm pretty tifty now and that's all I need. I
do social drinking now. I don't go hard like I
used to. I social drinker now. One or two get
me feeling good, you know, it gets me to strike

(23:23):
up a conversation and enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
All Right, you're back with the Friday Night five g
lights and what you're doing with high schools.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Tell everybody about that.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Yeah. So this is the second year doing the Team
mobile Friday Night five g Lights campaign. The first year
was a big success, but this year we went bigger
and badder. We gave out five thousand dollars to four
hundred and fifty schools, twenty five thousand dollars to twenty
five schools this year. And now I am literally sitting
right now in the gymnasium, you know, green room here

(23:53):
at Derek's and Derek's Arkansas at Derek's High School because
they are the grand prize winner of this campaign and
they get a million dollars, you know, to renovate their
high school football field, and on top of it, they
get a renovation of their weight room by Gronkfitness, my
family's company. So it's going to be all brand new
Gronk Fitness, you know, equipment that they can work out with, UH,

(24:16):
tickets to the SEC Championship game, and a tailgate party.
So I'm going to surprise them in about thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
If they don't know that you're going to give them
this a million.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Dollars, they already know that they're getting the million dollars.
They already know that they're the grand prize winner, but
they don't know I'm here right now. We're about to
have a rally in the gym, and I'm going to
surprise the whole entire time.

Speaker 11 (24:38):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
That's great. UH.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
For more information, visit Friday Night five g lights dot com.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Great to talk to you, Gronk, have fun.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Hey, always a pleasure, Dan, Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Rob Gronkowski, four time Super Bowl champ and contributor to
Funks NFL Sunday. You know, he's right about the position
that we interpret it differently or you know, offenses and
coaches and quarterbacks. He was saying, he can't. He wouldn't
be able to do what Kelsey does. But what Gronk
was able to do is Tom always had that bailout

(25:16):
and it felt like, just stay healthy enough to get
us in the playoffs, or once you're in the playoffs
and then I'm gonna go to you in the red zone. Kelsey,
it's more of he's involved in the offense or has
been or had been more involved in the offense on
a you know, every down basis, where Gronk was just
like you needed a blink, big play, You got a

(25:37):
big play there. But he is so Tony Guns almost
played to his thirty seven. Gronk is thirty six. But
it's how Gronk played and as he said, I couldn't
have played any other way. All right, Uh, Seton's gonna
call in in a little bit. Steph Curry is a
free agent, not with the Warriors with under armor and boy,

(26:04):
he started as a Nike guy and then all of
a sudden something let bad in a meeting. And by
the way, in that meeting working for Nike was Nico Harrison.
So Nico Harrison, who just got fired by the MAVs,
was in the meeting where somehow Nike screwed up their
presentation to Steph Curry. Now I think that they've attached

(26:26):
Nico Harrison conveniently to He forgot Steph's name. He called
him Stephen instead of Stephen, and we had Steph Curry
on and Steph Curry talked about that that Yes, it
did turn him off. There was also like a slide
presentation where somehow they put Kevin Durant in the slide presentation.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Coming up top of.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
The hour, We're gonna dig a little deeper into this
situation with Steph Curry and now he's a free agent.
I don't know what his shoes look I saw the
the first pair that looked like nurse shoes. I don't
know what they are. They just all white. Yeah, Paulie.

Speaker 8 (27:08):
The Steph Curry collection came out a bunch of years
ago with under Armour, and one of the first ones
was kind of plain white and it didn't hit. It
almost had like a hospital shoe, nursing shoe looked to it.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, it was like you know, if you have problems
with your feet, Yeah, like orthotics.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
Exotics, And it feels like they never really caught on,
because some shoes catch on. Some shoes don't and it's
not necessarily the person, it's the shoe.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, but it like there was nothing that was like
he's so splashy and there was nothing splashy about it,
like I would have had maybe a splash as you know,
your jumper is wet like you you kind of had.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Something that gave you life there.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't even know what shoes, you know are the
popular shoes now, Jannis his shoes, John Morant shoes, Sabrina Iyronesque, Yeah, Dylan.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
I mean, if I'm meeting with Nike, they can call
me Barbara. I'm not going to under instead of Nike.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay. But he he was Steph Curry. It wasn't like
he just came out of Davidson. He was in the
NBA and he was a Nike guy. That feels like
you can't go wrong here. But his name is spelled Steven.
But Nico Harrison has known. Nico Harrison represented Steph Curry's dad,

(28:32):
he represented Del Curry. But I don't think Nico Harrison
is the one who called him Stephen. Somebody else was
in the room and they may have said, you know,
and joining us now is Stephen Curry and Steph said
it bothered him. And if you put a slide Kevin
Durant into your presentation, like.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
That's not that's not me. Yeah, pull, It's.

Speaker 8 (28:56):
Such an urban legend story, this Nike Steph Curry meeting.
I heard they called him Stefan. Oh, and I don't
even know if that's true. No, it's Stephan, right, I
think that's what I'm saying. I've heard they called him
Stefan Curry.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Wasn't that the character from Saturday Nights Bill Hayder?

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yes, Martin and under Armed.

Speaker 12 (29:14):
Under Armor also offered him almost twice as much as
Nike did, so that helped.

Speaker 11 (29:17):
Also.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, but could you imagine if he had stayed with
Nike for his brand?

Speaker 11 (29:23):
Oh my god, Hey, it's never too late.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Maybe again from like the you know, the Swan song,
the final three three years maybe or two years?

Speaker 12 (29:31):
Imagine that? Sorry, can you imagine that campaign? Nike is
the best at shoe campaigns or none like so. John
Moran and Steph Curry aren't equal on the same player
historically or anything like that. But I'm taking job. I
want to buy John Moran shoes now because they just
look better than the Steph Curry's Steph Curry shoes don't
look good.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, But do you buy shoes because you like the
player but you don't like the shoes.

Speaker 11 (29:58):
The people that buy Steph Curry like Steph Curry.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
But they may not like the shoes.

Speaker 12 (30:05):
Correct, they're supporting him because they like Steph Curry. Those
are the people that wear Steph curry signature shoes. You're
not buying him because they look cool. You're buying them
because you love Steph Curry. You want to support him, Yeah, Dylan, Well.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
I was.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
I was never really a fan of most of Lebron's
shoes as far as like Nike shoes go, but they've
definitely sold a lot of them because they're Lebron's. There's
some hits in there, but buying large, I don't even
know what they look like. They're very clunky.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I haven't been to foot locker in a long time,
and if I do, I'm going in to buy comfortable shoes.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
You're getting hokahs. Yeah, kind of a hooka please? That
makes me six six?

Speaker 13 (30:42):
Yes, Todd, what if step went over to Nike and
they had the word swoosh on apparel but the S
is a three like three wo sh that could be
or three to the s and the second.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
S three w o oh three.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Did you give this a lot of thought?

Speaker 4 (30:55):
I did?

Speaker 8 (30:56):
Actually, I think Todd was in the original Nike meeting
the word.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Swoosh and then the essays are threes. I think that's uh,
they'll probably end up doing that. Then I'll have the
last laugh.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
So here's what we're gonna do, Steffan. We're gonna add
three and your are.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Going to be three three w three h let's go.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm gonna have to write that down and see how
it looks Todd because I'm not visualizing.

Speaker 13 (31:21):
Nike's a swoosh and then put the word swoosh. But
the essays are the number three because he's known for
his three pointers.

Speaker 14 (31:27):
Okay, all right, uh, well it kind of looks like
boob hut, show me your boobs h How about we
take a break here, we're gonna slide into the weekend.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Seaton's gonna join us from the road. More of your
phone calls, and we have Jameis Winston prop beds for
this weekend against the Green Bay Packers. Well, if you're
the Packers, Jameis Winston is the last guy you want
to see on that roster like you would rather see
Russ and Jackson Dart because it just feels like James,
who knows, can be one of those where he's got

(32:04):
four touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
All right, we'll take a break.

Speaker 1 (32:09):

the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to

Speaker 2 (32:31):
He is Seaton O'Connor on the road. Well, it looks
like he's got friends.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
There, dud. We got friends in Denver, yay, Well.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Tell them it's okay. They can make some noise. There
is there a music festival there? Are they actually out
to see you? No?

Speaker 15 (32:47):
I think they actually keep to see me people.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Dude, there's like five dogs here. That's awesome.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (32:52):
People brought donuts, We got the Santiago's brought like a
whole thing of breakfast burritos. I got another thing for breakfast. Yeah, dude,
it's awesome.

Speaker 14 (33:01):
Man.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
It's a great crowd. So where are you exactly?

Speaker 15 (33:04):
I'm in North Glen, which is I think about ten
fifteen miles north of Denver.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
And yeah, it's a gorgeous day here.

Speaker 15 (33:15):
Mountains are like right over there, Rockies pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
You have it looks like your avalanche colors on your sweatshirt.
Is that Colorado Avalanche purple?

Speaker 6 (33:29):
It is?

Speaker 2 (33:30):
It is?

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Yeah, I'm kind of an ABS guy.

Speaker 15 (33:32):
Now, gotta admit I've been too a game now, so
I'm not saying I bought a sweater, but maybe.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Wait, you went to the game last night.

Speaker 10 (33:40):
I did.

Speaker 15 (33:40):
Yeah, dude, dude, I went to the game last night.
There was like a dozen goals in it, and they
scored ABS scored within the first like forty seconds or something.

Speaker 9 (33:49):
It was awesome.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
It was awesome. Okay, so you leave Denver and then
next stop is.

Speaker 15 (33:55):
I'm gonna sort of wind my way through the Rockies
a little bit and end up in Vague, US to
meet up with you guys. I'll be at the Vega,
one of the macOS in Vegas Monday morning at eight am.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Okay, but no snow.

Speaker 15 (34:10):
No no snow, although I heard Veil opens today, so
maybe I get a couple of runs in before I
head over to it.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
I don't know why not.

Speaker 15 (34:18):
You know, we're here. I haven't gone skiing in like
twenty years. But uh, okay, oh I got to show
this for PAULI.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Oh, look at that. That's a fore Runner. Yeah, that's
old school. Yeah.

Speaker 15 (34:30):
The makeo here just painted this one and it's it's beautiful.
It's got one of those like snorkels that you could
go into really deep watery deep, like an adventuremobile.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty rad though. Well, save travels and
then we'll talk to you on Monday from Vegas.

Speaker 10 (34:50):
All right, let's go Denver.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Seat no counter joining us on the road. He's big
in Denver.

Speaker 11 (34:57):
Uge.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, he told me he went to the AS game
last night. He said, the usher, big fan of the show,
knew all about it. So uh he said a lot
of goals. So now he's a big ABS fan. All right,
let's slide into the weekend. You got number nine Notre Dame,
number twenty two Pittsburgh. This is my most most win

(35:20):
game of the weekend. It's a sellout in Pittsburgh. But
let's be honest, Notre Dame probably providing at least half
of that sellout, I'm guessing, and you start to think
about Pitt football.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
And Marvin brought this up to me.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
He said, think of all the Hall of famers at
Pitt and I go, Okay, you got Tony Dorsett, You've
got Dan Marino, You've got Darrell Reeves, Aaron Donald, anybody
else that I'm leaving out.

Speaker 11 (35:50):
Larry Fitzgerald.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Oh eh, dang, Okay, that's a pretty good representation when
you think on it. Uh, who was the Hugh Green?

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah? Was was on the one end. The Ricky Jackson
I think is he Pitt? Was he Pitt?

Speaker 11 (36:14):
Ricky Jackson?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Was Ricky jack Because and he played for the Saints. Yes,
he's a very good player.

Speaker 11 (36:21):
I got checked.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I think he had like one hundred Is Ricky Jackson
a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 11 (36:26):
We're checking?

Speaker 3 (36:27):
So that if Hugh Green and Ricky Jackson I think
were the defensive ends.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
Yeah, Pitt players drafted high. You got Dorset, Bill Fralick,
great offensive lineman, Yeah, Larry Fitzgeral, Chris Dolman, Mike Ditka,
Jimbo Covert, Hugh Green.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
They've probably had ten Hall of.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
Famer Aaron Donald, He's going to the Hall of Fame,
like you said, Yeah, Marvin.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Ricky Jackson did go to pitt and he is in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
So they probably got ten maybe ten, Yes, Ton.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
In nineteen seventy seven to eighty with the Panthers.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, dang, and Hugh Green was the one. He was
supposed to be the great defensive end. Ricky Jackson becomes
a Hall of Famer Dorset when he was Dorset. Uh, Marino, Yeah,
that's a pretty good list. And then they oh, by
the way, Larry Fitzgerald, Darrell Reeves, yes, Marvin.

Speaker 12 (37:20):
So right now the schools with the most Hall of Famers,
Notre Dame is number one, tied with USC. Then it's
Michigan at eleven, ten Ohio State, and ten Pittsburgh. But
they're gonna move up to third because Aaron Donald and
Larry Fitzgerrett will get in, so they would have the
third most.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Okay, so I was including them. But they're not in
the Hall of Fame correct, Okay, but.

Speaker 12 (37:44):
They will be, so they have they'll have the third
most players in the Hall of Fame for one school.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
You could you could win a you could win some
money with a bet like that. So Notre Dame in
pitt Oklahoma and Alabama. This is an elimination game for Oklahoma.
You have to win uh Alabama, UH Texas and Georgia
Lions Eagles, Seahawks Rams. It's pretty good stuff there, right,

(38:16):
Seahawks rams both at seven and two. So that's sliding
into the weekend. Brought to you by the great folks
at kings Sawian make every Sunday a slider Sunday and
you can learn more recipes at Kingsawion dot com. All right, Uh,
Jamis Winston prop bets Dylan Dylan, Yeah no, Dylan Dylan

(38:41):
kept saying, you know, hey, I think this is this
is pretty interesting. I go, well, you know, I look
need from Jamis Winston. So these are prop bets for
the game against the Packers.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Uh Now, I thought the over under for touchdown passes
should have been one and a half and it is
the over under for interceptions for Jameis Winston.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
I thought a half and it is. You could argue
that should be one and a half.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Also, anytime touchdown plus five point fifty does.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Jamis get a little squirrely and run one in.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I maybe maybe the Coles from Jackson Dark plays uh
passing yards over under his.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Two twenty three and a half. You're going over, aren't you, Dylan?
If it was three hundred and a half, I'm taking
the over on that.

Speaker 11 (39:33):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
How about the first pass? Do they have a prop
on the first pass? Will be?

Speaker 9 (39:41):
Yep?

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Yeah, So they got first pass at ten completions minus
two ten incompletions plus one fifty. Actually looked to see
if the first pass interception was an option they wow. Wow,
I see him getting maybe coming out a little excited
and just fireing one to the Packers dB.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Does Russell Wilson play Sunday against the Packers? Is there
a scenario other than injury where he could get into
the game.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
If Jamis throws four picks in the first half, do
they bring Russell Wilson or just let it ride? At
that point, I would just let him in, leave him
in and see if he could put up historical numbers. Yeah,
you know, have some fun with it. Yeah, well I did.

Speaker 6 (40:24):
I did actually place one of these days, and I
parlayed the overpassing touchdowns and over interceptions. Okay, so that
gets you about plus like three point fifteen.

Speaker 7 (40:34):
I think.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Okay, you guys want free money.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
You're you're you don't have history on your side, quite
to the Condreary.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yes, yes, you're not very good, you're entertaining. You're just
not a very good gambler. I'm just an honest man, Dan.
Two hours of the books, one more to go.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
We're going to talk about Steph Curry's sneaker career because
now he's a free agent, his contract with under Armor
is ending.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
More phone calls coming up on this meet Friday after
this

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
