Damar Hamlin. We don't have a

0:22

big update there, just what the Buffalo Bills

0:24

have told us that he is showing signs

0:27

of improvement. NFL was leaning

0:29

towards cancelation of the Bills Bengals

game, maybe with the hope that they

3:38

The new Peacock original documentary

3:41

whoa Rick Flair

3:43

Becoming Rick Flair gives you the full

3:46

story behind the WWE legend,

3:49

streaming now only on Peacock.

3:52

Anybody a Rick Flair fan when

3:54

they were growing up? One Marv, you were,

3:57

Okay, how long

3:59

did it take you to realize that

4:01

wrestling was not real? Just

4:04

now? He's still

4:07

it's real to me? Damn?

4:11

Okay? Did was there a time

4:13

when you thought that it was it was real?

4:16

Oh? Yeah, for sure. And my uncle, my

4:18

grandmother's brother, was like, this

4:20

isn't even real. And my grandmother's like, don't

4:23

tell him that. It's almost like Santa Claus was a real.

4:25

Oh. I was like, why do you say that? And

4:27

both are real? Ww and Santa

4:30

correctly. You know, you'd have these reporters who would

4:33

interview the wrestlers and they

4:35

would bring up the fact that you know, this was all

4:37

choreographed, you know, it wasn't real, and then the

4:39

wrestler would put him in a hold and you

4:41

know, threatened to beat him up or rough him up a little

4:43

bit, as if you know, you

4:46

got guys who are you know, built chiseled,

4:48

whether it's artificially chiseled, but you

4:51

know they're roughing up a reporter who

4:53

weighs one hundred and seventy pounds, like,

4:55

oh my god, no, it is real. You just

4:57

beat me up. You know.

5:00

Rick Flair would do that. We'd see

5:02

certain guys would oh, you think this is

5:04

fake? How about this? And I'd be like, that

5:07

doesn't prove it's real. It just means you're

5:09

a lot bigger and stronger than the guy who's

5:11

asking you questions. Yeah, when

5:13

I was a kid, just just before Hulk Hogan got

5:15

big, like Jimmy, Superfly, Snooker were really cool

5:18

inventive guys. But I think Rowdy

5:20

Roddy Piper become He was such

5:22

a good bad guy and

5:24

he was good in the ring, but he had that Piper's Pitch

5:26

show. He kind of was the first entertainer,

5:29

maybe not the first. I'm not an expert on WWFF

5:31

history. Sergeant Slaughter. I

5:33

remember in that wheelhouse that was big. I

5:37

remember working at CNNA New York and Hulk

5:39

Hogan came in and the

5:42

entire newsroom was like, oh, Cogan's

5:44

here. Now. We had had, you know, foreign

5:46

diplomats and you'd have, you

5:48

know, political leaders come in and

5:51

no big deal. Oh Cogan's here,

5:53

yeah. More. None of them ever told you to say your prayers

5:55

at eat your vitamin. No they did not. No,

5:58

they did not. Welco maniacs, no

6:00

foreign dignitaries heads you know. Uh.

6:04

I just remember Andre the Giant

6:06

in bo Bo, Brazil. For

6:09

some reason, growing up, we'd have wrestling

6:11

on Saturday morning. Calling him Andre the

6:13

Giant seems redundant. Yeah, you could just call him

6:15

Andrea. It's like people aren't gonna know that he's big.

6:18

It's to tell that Andre was French for giant

6:21

rights. But did they need to say

6:23

two tall Jones? Right? I

6:25

mean self, Yeah, why

6:27

do they call you too too? Why do they call you two

6:29

tall Jones? I don't know. I

6:32

think Andre the Giant was the first like

6:35

superstar wrestler that

6:37

became like big time famous,

6:39

and then Hulk Hogan was the guy after

6:41

him who just sort of like blew the doors off

6:44

it. Like maybe it was hitting at the right time,

6:46

but Hulk Hogan was just a superstar.

6:48

Well then when they fought, yeah, yeah, that

6:50

was a big deal. Yeah, and didn't he lift

6:53

up Andre the Giant and

6:56

that was where it was like, oh my god, was

6:58

that the Detroit super Dome? I think so. Didn't

7:00

they have him like ninety thousand

7:03

anything about wrestling. I don't watch it, but

7:05

I knew it was the Detroit supernow and

7:08

lifted it for exactly three point seven second and say it's

7:10

a huge moment, and that was a good.

7:14

Yeah. I didn't want to be a wrestler. I didn't want to wear

7:16

a speedo. You know. It's like, I

7:19

don't think so. It's like on the swim team.

7:21

Hey, you want to be on the swim team? Do

7:24

I have to wear that? Yeah? No,

7:26

I don't want to wear that. The water is called that, yeah,

7:30

and actually it's not. The

7:32

water isn't cold. Yeah, you know that

7:34

A big Rick Flair guy isn't Darius

7:37

by his robe bought the robe.

7:40

I was sitting next to him, and

7:42

I'm at the Jim Valvano Golf Tournament,

7:44

Celebrity golf tournament. Michael Jordan

7:46

is buying a motorcycle. It

7:49

was wild. Guys were bidding on all these

7:51

things. And then they brought out Rick Flair's

7:54

uh coat whatever it is, and

7:58

robe I guess they wore in the ring

8:00

and I'm thinking, who's gonna

8:02

buy that? All of a sudden, it's

8:04

like, do I hear five thousand? Darius

8:06

raised his hen. I'm like, oh my god, he's gonna spend

8:08

five thousand, Yeah,

8:12

ten thousand yds. I think he's I

8:14

think he spent over thirty thousand dollars on

8:16

the road. And I said, oh

8:19

my god, how are you going to explain that? He goes,

8:21

oh, I got a bargain, and I go, he

8:23

still has it. He has it in his closet

8:26

in Nashville. Yeah, poem, But don't you just think

8:28

that's like we're all a bunch of thirteen year old boys

8:30

who grow up and once in a while some of us get some

8:32

money. And you know, you like

8:34

cars, that's your thing because when you were a kid, about

8:37

when you're twelve, all you wanted was a Corvette or a Porsche.

8:39

Right when when Darius was a kid,

8:41

he's like, man, look at Rick Flair. You know

8:43

if what is it Jim or

8:45

Safe from the Colts? He buys all that rock and

8:47

roll memorabilia. Yeah, he's probably a rock guy when he's

8:49

twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Now he's got the dough. It's

8:51

it's almost like it's self explanatory. Well, I think

8:54

that what guys do is they get older,

8:56

they buy the car they couldn't get when they

8:58

were in high school. And

9:01

and you're gonna say, hey, I never had a

9:03

trans am. I want to trans am

9:05

and that's where your wife goes this midnight crisis.

9:08

No, it's actually a high school crisis. It's

9:10

you know, a fifteen year old crisis

9:12

where at that age I had

9:15

a I didn't get my license until I

9:17

was eighteen because I had to ride a

9:19

bike. We had

9:21

one car crisis. You bought

9:24

a swin or I had.

9:26

I had a badass bike. Yeah,

9:29

I wish then I could have had Jenny

9:31

Badshee on the back of a banana seat

9:33

us. But I

9:36

I just remember I

9:38

couldn't. There was no reason to get my license because

9:40

there was no car to drive. There were six

9:43

kids. My mom with six

9:45

kids, didn't have a car to drive.

9:47

It was just my dad went back and forth to

9:50

work. And I'm like, there's so many

9:52

cars that I want to buy, But all

9:54

my friends had Corvette,

9:56

a road Runner, a

9:59

sixty nine, Chevelle three

10:01

ninety six, a Mustang

10:04

sixty seven fast back. And I'm going

10:06

Oh my god. So I found myself

10:09

buying some of these cars and my wife goes,

10:11

why, I go, why

10:14

not? I couldn't. I couldn't

10:16

buy those when I was growing up. And

10:19

you know then she understand Now I try

10:22

not to do that anymore. Where I go, oh,

10:26

don't, they'll light to everybody

10:28

that half the reason you moved to this new studio

10:30

is to have the gradual Okay, that could be true.

10:33

I mean, you know that's the problem.

10:35

The reason why guys don't buy more

10:37

cars is they don't have more room. And

10:40

I have room in the garage. And that's

10:42

a problem. It's a good problem

10:44

everybody year from being Jay Leno. Jay,

10:48

you know what, when you don't know how many cars you have, that's

10:50

when you have too many cars. And Jay Leno,

10:53

last time I talked to him a couple of

10:55

years ago ago, how many cars? And He's like,

11:01

yes, So I got a big lesson

11:03

in like just how

11:05

rich people are. Like twenty years ago,

11:07

I did this charity thing in Connecticut

11:10

where they have a bunch of ferraris come

11:12

and they take kids out of a hospital and

11:14

they all drive around in these ferraris, right,

11:16

and it's like a big parade kind of thing, and so

11:18

I was covering it for the state radio station I

11:20

was at and I got into a Ferrari

11:23

with this guy. I wasn't driving it, I was just

11:25

sitting passenger, and he was telling

11:27

me about how like, oh, this is David Letterman's Ferrari.

11:29

I'm his car guy. And I was just like, what

11:31

do you mean you're his car guy? He was just like, I just I

11:33

work for David. I just take care of his cars. Oh

11:36

It's like what like the concept

11:38

of just employing somebody like, oh, this is the guy

11:40

who just takes care of my cars and this is

11:42

one of my ferraris that I'm just loaning out for the

11:45

day for these kids to do was mind

11:47

boggling to me. I think I've met that

11:49

guy I had. I had no idea that people were

11:51

I guess like just naively, you know, coming

11:53

from where I come from, that people were that rich. And

11:56

Letterman's got quite a

11:58

quite a garage full of car from what I'm

12:00

told, And yes, there is one guy who

12:03

does all of his car maintenance there and

12:05

like, what do you mean Like He's like, well, like I'll look

12:07

for ones for him to buy or maybe we should

12:09

sell this one or always interested in this,

12:11

then I'll help find it. I'll take care of them, that kind of thing,

12:13

yes time. And he always makes the car guy sit a little lower

12:15

than him when he comes over with the family. That's

12:18

a little lower. That was

12:20

awkward. I never understood that, you know,

12:22

this this show of dominance when you

12:24

go on a talk show where the

12:26

person who Letterman or Leno,

12:29

they were always up higher than you. And

12:31

and Letterman's a little bit taller than me. Uh,

12:34

Leno isn't sure he's taller than you? Are

12:38

you sure Letterman's hard than are you stood next to him.

12:40

I've stood next to him. He we're about the

12:43

same height, but his

12:45

his chair, his platform.

12:47

He was always looking down at you. So

12:50

it gives you that, you know, I'm

12:52

I'm the dominant one here. And

12:54

like I was thinking, why why am

12:56

I looking up at you, Dave? Why aren't we

12:58

just you know, high level? But

13:00

the other shows do that as well. It

13:03

was weird, and I was like, why don't I Because

13:05

I thought maybe it's a bad cushion that I

13:07

sink down in the cushion, And then I realized,

13:10

you know, that's strategic, Okay,

13:13

was Johnnie Carson higher maybe a little bit, but it

13:15

didn't seem like he was much higher than his guests

13:17

Back in the Dinner Tonight show. I was never on Johnny

13:20

Carson, but I'd

13:22

have to go back and look at Not everybody's

13:25

like that, but I just remember

13:27

Letterman was and it was pronounced where

13:29

you're going? What? Why am I looking up? Dave?

13:31

This is uncomfortable, right.

13:35

I don't know what we accomplished there, but we

13:37

didn't fill up fourteen minutes. And that's what

13:39

it's all about. Hey,

13:43

Washington, d C. There's your gold right there. That

13:46

is that is radio. Go get used to

13:48

that. Can't take that back. Yes, this show has been

13:50

nominated for a Sports Emmy the last

13:52

five years and you're probably thinking,

13:55

how the hell did that happen? And yes, I've

13:58

thought that too. Let's take a break. I

14:00

want to talk about the Hall of Fame. I do want

14:02

to talk about the Commanders and

14:05

what Taylor Heineke did yesterday, which

14:10

I'm not sure how I think

14:12

about it. I don't know how

14:14

I feel about it, but we'll talk about that and

14:17

the Hall of Fame nominees. We're

14:19

getting down to the nitty gritty the final

14:22

fifteen here, but we'll

14:25

sort through who should and shouldn't be in the Hall

14:27

of Fame. We'll do so right after

14:29

this Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening

14:31

14:46

we play this last hour? We

14:49

did? All right?

14:51

I love led Zeppelin, but let's

14:54

sprinkle around some other

14:56

music there. We'll do. How about smells

14:58

like teen Spirit? Then we could compare the

15:01

drums coming in. Yesh See, we got

15:03

a lot of people saying, uh hot

15:06

for teacher. Those drums come oh

15:08

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes, Van of healing.

15:10

Okay, sounds

15:17

like the muffler of a car kind

15:37

of show offie. Yeah,

15:39

Paul, it's not half as good without

15:41

the music video, if you know what I mean. Oh hot

15:45

for teacher. So

15:48

Eddie and his brother got to show off there with

15:50

their their solos. Yeah,

15:53

Eddie always has to make it about himself like

15:55

he was the band. Well that

15:59

very few people guitar like Eddie

16:01

oh man, that is the truth. Yeah, that's where

16:04

we throw a genius a lot. He

16:06

was a genius when it came to playing guitar. Yeah,

16:08

like savant. Yeah he was. It was like a real

16:11

special. I don't know what else he could do. He might

16:13

have been an idiot savant where I

16:15

can play guitar. I haven't playing the guitar

16:17

a hell of a long time, and I don't even I have not even

16:19

remotely a clue that. Like we

16:21

look at two these things completely differently.

16:24

Well, the you know, Michael Jackson didn't read

16:27

music, but he was able

16:29

to put together what he put together. Or

16:32

those people go, um, hey, hey,

16:34

here's piano and I don't know if

16:37

I know how to play it, and then all of a sudden they're

16:39

playing a concerto. Yeah. In

16:41

the song beat It by Michael Jackson, Eddie

16:44

van Halen plays the guitar solo. He did it for

16:46

free and just showed up. Yeah,

16:48

I read it. When eddievan Halen passed away,

16:50

I saw this video tribute about Himan and he

16:52

was at like some event and he heard like opera

16:55

strings and violins. Because I wonder

16:57

if I could do that violin sounds with a guitar,

16:59

and he went home and spent a weekend alone and

17:02

he tried to make his guitar sound like he was playing

17:04

violin, and on Monday he did it. He went

17:06

back with all his Bandmasis that's when I learned to

17:08

do this weekend and it didn't sound It sound like an

17:10

electric tar mixed with a violin. What

17:12

do you have there, Marv? You

17:15

got smells like teen spirit, oh

17:20

a little beat it. Yeah,

17:23

that

17:28

that's pretty good. But

17:38

where does Eddie rank when it comes

17:40

to best

17:42

guitar players of all time? Because

17:46

I remember there was an interview, might

17:48

have been Dick Cabot interviewing

17:51

Jimmy Hendricks, and it was, how do you feel

17:54

being the greatest guitar player in the world? He

17:56

goes, I don't know. Ask Rory

17:58

Gallagher. Well, Rory Alagher

18:00

was Irish

18:02

folks singer and great guitar player,

18:05

but he's up there in Albert Lee.

18:08

I think those are two that usually

18:10

aren't on people's radar because you don't know their

18:12

music, but they are considered,

18:15

or at least in the conversation, greatest guitar players

18:17

of all time. Yeah, if you look at it, like the NFL

18:19

and it did like modern era or whatever you want

18:21

to call it. Eddie van Halen's like Jerry Rice.

18:24

It's like, okay, who's after Eddie van Halen?

18:26

I think what the casual music? Van?

18:30

And why was Clapton? You

18:32

know that he was considered god, you

18:35

know when it came to playing guitar, because

18:37

you had that famous but graffiti.

18:41

You know, Clapton is God or something like that.

18:43

You know, she's so great Eric Clapton.

18:46

There is a there's like a list that you start

18:48

with the guess like Clapton

18:50

would be there, right, Jimmy Hendrix, Yeah,

18:53

Stevie ray Vaughan, He's

18:56

certainly on that list. Jimmy Page, Jimmy Page

18:58

is definitely there. Eddie van Halen is right

19:00

and all of that. Yeah. I don't know about Pete Townsend, but whoa

19:03

whoa is

19:05

his seat and always peas on my parade

19:08

when it comes to the does

19:10

he does? Every time I'll bring up

19:13

oh man, Pete Townsend, man, Chuck

19:15

Berry should be mentioned before you

19:18

can put him in there. You can put him in there.

19:20

You know who gets mentioned? And

19:22

it's gonna surprise you. Okay,

19:25

I'm gonna let you guess this

19:27

guy gets mentioned by

19:30

other guitar players. In

19:32

fact, somebody on the list that we just

19:34

talked about as one of the great guitar

19:37

players in the world, Richie Sambora, No

19:39

Paulli. Is he from the past twenty years? Just

19:42

answer the question. No,

19:47

Prince, Oh yeah, no, he's he'd

19:49

be on there. This guy's gonna surprise you, Prince, wouldn't

19:51

surprise you, Marvin John

19:54

Lennon, No, Todd,

19:57

you have gone a

20:00

pretty good, well sneaky

20:02

Philadelphia. You got the John right, John

20:08

Mayer? Really okay? Yes,

20:11

Eric Clapton, he's

20:13

the one that complimented John Mayer and

20:16

said that's a great guitar player. Yeah.

20:18

More Yeah, because when I hear daughters, I

20:20

think of a great guitar player. What

20:23

are you doing? Fathers?

20:26

See John Mayer isn't is in

20:28

the problem where he doesn't want to play

20:31

his hits anymore. I know, he just wants to be a blues

20:33

guitar player. So he gets up

20:35

there and he's like, you know, he

20:37

has to you know, bust through the double doors

20:39

or whatever that is, you

20:41

know, and then after that he does a fifteen minute blues

20:44

jam and then he comes back with why

20:47

Georgia or whatever, and like Georgia.

20:49

Why, yeah, I've been driving

20:52

eighty five? Yes,

20:55

smart, the kind of morning that lasts all afternoon?

20:57

Yes, yes, yes.

21:01

Why do people do that? Why do artists do that? Like

21:03

the songs I want to I want you

21:05

to play, You're not playing them, You just

21:07

want to play me a fifteen minute

21:09

set of you know your new

21:12

hits? John Mayer plays the hits, but

21:14

he does. I went to see him in

21:16

the in the Counting Crows play

21:19

and he did play the hits, but he certainly

21:21

wants to give you and he's got

21:24

guitar face when he's playing good Man.

21:27

He really like he's gagging

21:29

on something like Joe Cocker.

21:31

Yeah. Yes, once

21:34

again, momentum is building for the cancelation of

21:36

the Bills Bengals game, and I'm

21:39

going to guess the NFL probably making

21:41

an announcement here, not today, certainly

21:43

tomorrow, also ahead of the

21:46

Commander's game against the Cowboys. Commanders

21:49

already eliminated from postseason contention,

21:53

it looks like they're gonna go with Sam Howell

21:56

now. According to ESPN, the team had expected

21:58

to go with Taylor Heineken on Sunday, and

22:01

then they change their mind when Heineck

22:03

reportedly told the coaches that they

22:05

should go with the rookie Sam Howe, with

22:08

fifth round draft pick out of North

22:10

Carolina, he hadn't

22:13

played in a game. And then I started

22:15

to wonder, Okay, how's

22:17

that work? Where the coaching staff goes, Taylor,

22:19

you're going to be our quarterback? No, you

22:22

should give Sam a chance. Do

22:25

they have anything else on this point? I've seen. There's

22:27

not much because it just came out this morning, but I've seen a couple

22:29

of quick interview clips with Taylor Heineke,

22:32

and it's unclear if he was okay with them

22:34

going with Sam Howell or he volunteered

22:36

that they should go with Sam Howell. There's

22:38

mixed reports on that. Yeah, some people say

22:40

he might be okay sitting because he's

22:42

going to be a free agent. He wants to get

22:45

his max steel. But it's unclear whether

22:47

he volunteered to take the seat or

22:49

was okay with taking Is this comparable to sitting

22:51

out the bowl game in

22:53

college to protect yourself

22:56

for your I don't yeah, I don't know. I'm just trying

22:58

to Unless it's just Taylor's being

23:00

a wonderful teammate and let's

23:02

give Sam a chance. I got the numbers

23:04

here for Heineke. He

23:07

completed sixty two percent of his passes

23:10

just under nineteen hundred yards, twelve touchdown,

23:12

six interceptions. I like

23:14

him. I liked him over Carson Wentz,

23:16

you know, even before they made the move to put

23:19

him in there. But I don't know. I don't

23:21

think he's his starting quarterback. He's

23:23

had moments, but you know, this league

23:25

isn't about moments. It's about consistency.

23:28

Yes, time or are you being pr savvy and

23:30

you're like, you know, you're looking like you're generous and

23:32

being a good teammate. But wait till you see how valuable

23:34

I am once you put Sam out during a disaster,

23:36

Let's see how special I am. Well, this is what I

23:38

wondered. If

23:41

I'm Taylor Heineke, I go, Uh is

23:45

Michael Parsons playing? Uh?

23:48

Yeah he is. You know Sam deserves

23:50

a lot of you know, he's been a great

23:52

teammate, and maybe give him a chance.

23:55

I mean, I gotta see what you got with this kid. Yeah.

23:58

Wait, we're finding out, Michael Parson, this is

24:00

not playing. You know Sam could come in

24:02

later, you know, after I built up a big lead and

24:04

then maybe we get him some some run there.

24:06

I decided that will not be participating in this Bowl

24:08

game to focus on the draft. Also, we're

24:11

getting the I told you so version

24:14

of Aaron Rodgers now because

24:17

they have this opportunity. You win, you beat the

24:19

lines, and you're in and uh

24:21

Satan does a pretty good version

24:23

of the I told you so, Aaron

24:26

Rodgers. You know, what's

24:29

it been eight weeks now? I mean this everything

24:32

went our way. This is exactly how I told you it

24:34

was going to happen, and

24:36

this is what it is. It's fine, Relax,

24:41

every everything just went our way. This is what I told you.

24:43

What was it eight weeks ago? Six weeks? I know we

24:45

we overreacted. Let's see,

24:47

I told this is fine. Boy. What if

24:49

they lose? It

24:53

makes an NFC title game lost like but

24:55

nine? But okay, I picked

24:57

Green Bay and the Chargers play in the Super Bowl.

24:59

But if you you told me the Lions won this game, I

25:02

wouldn't be heartbroken because

25:05

be a great story and the lines are playing

25:07

well. But Aaron,

25:09

the it is the

25:12

Iahwuasca just wearing off,

25:15

Like I'm wondering how long does Ayawaska stay

25:17

with you forever, Dan,

25:19

it changes you forever. Yeah,

25:22

I mean I don't want it to go do that stuff. Man, I would

25:24

be way too afraid of the person I came back

25:26

as. Yeah,

25:29

but if you don't like the person you are going there,

25:32

that's true, you might go all right. Yeah, Like

25:34

what would it be back to come back as someone you actually like?

25:39

Yeah? Can we what all

25:41

of a sudden that came back like a thoughtful, nice person?

25:44

What would that be? Need to send Paulie to

25:46

get some Iowaska. I would defeat Ayahuasca.

25:49

It could do nothing to me. What about if Fritzie

25:51

went and did Iowaska well

25:53

versus Iowas the versus Aawaska.

25:55

We've run right through me, get out? Okay? What would

25:57

draft Kings have the line of you versus

26:00

Ayahuasca. It's like Vikings

26:02

bears. The Bears are cubi Okay,

26:04

button, you're only okay Now

26:06

you're like a five or six point favorite against

26:08

Ayawaska. Crush it. Yeah, of course you would

26:11

shotguns Yawaska. Yeah, a couple

26:14

of phone calls, we will look at the NFL

26:16

Hall of Fame finalist Ruben

26:19

in California leads us off. Hi Ruben

26:21

what's on your mind today? Oh?

26:23

Wow, Dan, Hi, nice

26:25

to be speaking with you. Call me off card there um

26:28

talking to the Don Meka today.

26:30

It's my birthday. But more

26:32

importantly, I have a birthday of October

26:34

sevent twenty seventeen is the day I stopped drinking.

26:37

And I just want to tell everybody out there that if

26:39

you're having trouble to tick that mess, step

26:41

forward and Dan, you're one of the people that help you get through

26:43

all this kind of stuff bears. When

26:46

aren't we going to get a coach?

26:48

Olyah, I feel you. I'm hurting over here, Sean

26:51

Paynton or or somebody.

26:53

Wait, wait, you're not getting a new coach. You just

26:55

got a new coach there, Ruben. And by

26:57

the way, happy birthday, Ruben. Be

27:00

Birthay. You

27:03

know the irony too that this show makes me drink,

27:05

But for Reuben it helped him get sober.

27:08

So oh wow, Yet

27:11

sensitivity level had an all time Hi

27:13

on this program.

27:16

Richard in Chicago. Hi, Richard, what's

27:18

on your mind today? Hey?

27:20

Dan? First time, long

27:22

time six three A dad

27:25

Bob one eight. All

27:27

right, So here's my question for you. So I

27:30

live in Chicago, my wife and I've

27:32

been married for over a year. We got the house,

27:34

we got the dog. We're now talking about

27:36

starting to start a family here. I'm a

27:39

die hard, lifelong Vikings fan. My

27:41

wife is a die hard, long time

27:43

Packers fan. So the question

27:46

I have for you is, I grew up in a Viking

27:48

family. She's the only Packer fan in

27:50

her Chicago Bear family. So

27:53

do I stick my feet in the ground when we have

27:55

kids and say they're gonna be Vikings fans? Do

27:58

I let them choose for themselves? Or

28:00

do I choose the happy wife,

28:02

happy life. They can be Packers fans.

28:05

And I'm a Viking dad raising a couple of Packer

28:07

kids. Would I would let your

28:09

child choose? Okay?

28:12

And and you know what, maybe make it like, um,

28:14

you know a college recruit where he picks

28:16

where he's gonna go, and then you put out a

28:18

Bears jersey, a Packer jersey, and then a

28:20

Viking jersey, and then when

28:23

he or she is five or six years

28:25

of age, say pick what jersey

28:27

that's the team you're going to root for? Okay,

28:31

sounds great, I'll run it by the wife.

28:33

Yeah, good luck with that, Thank you, Richard.

28:37

Uh. Let's see

28:40

Scott in Arizona. I Scott, what's on

28:42

your mind today? Hey, good

28:44

morning Danny. Yesterday

28:46

I was in the middle of an old guy tribute

28:48

for Tuesday Show, and in kind

28:51

of HIGHI esque way, Mark gave

28:53

me the hook uh, and I wanted. I'm

28:55

a big cheek turner, Marv. I voted for

28:57

you in the year end. Um,

29:00

So when the Super Bowl comes to town, my

29:03

place is not as big as Chucks, but come over.

29:05

We'll have a cup of coffee or a piece of pie

29:08

and just hang out for an hour. I'll show

29:10

you some Sun Devil irrelevant Sun Devil

29:12

trivia or memorabilia.

29:15

I guess

29:16

us as far as my

29:18

thought from yesterday that I didn't get to, I'm

29:21

a I'm a NFL Plus

29:24

subscriber, and they've been

29:26

squirrely all years. So so like, if you're

29:28

in the middle of a you're vested in in a

29:30

game, and it goes to ot NFL

29:33

Plus, we'll cut the feed that you're on

29:35

and go to the next scheduled game. And I know it's

29:37

all contractual, So what do they do Monday night?

29:40

When the game went to suspension,

29:43

they cut the feed and I wasn't near

29:45

a TV, so I mean, imagine

29:47

if ABC had gone to Three's company

29:49

during the earthquake in San Francisco.

29:52

I think they should have kept the feed and

29:54

kept the dialogue in the commentary. I don't

29:56

know, Danny, you're the expert. Yeah, but that's

29:58

that's above my hey grade

30:00

here. I don't have any insight

30:02

to then consult

30:06

your local cable operator. Yeah,

30:10

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not sure about that. And

30:13

uh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't

30:15

want to give you an opinion one way or another on that

30:18

because I don't know what is factored into that. And

30:21

in fairness too, I mean, this is unchartered

30:23

waters for these people. They

30:26

deal with a lot of things. But that just

30:30

understanding and talking to somebody at ESPN

30:32

yesterday just to get an idea of what

30:34

that was like in the control

30:37

room. And yeah,

30:39

the person I know said, unlike

30:42

anything that I've ever experienced, because

30:45

we had the power go out in the Super Bowl

30:47

when yeah, the Ravens and the Niners, and

30:50

you know, how do you prepare for something like that?

30:53

I mean, this is CBS. We've

30:55

had these moments where you're like, now,

30:57

what do we do? Now? What can we show?

31:01

How much can we show Lisa's

31:03

salters. We have access, but

31:05

we don't have access. You're on the sidelines.

31:08

Hey, don't take that camera. The

31:10

only thing I thought, and I did ask this,

31:12

but I didn't get a great

31:14

response, is you have so many cameras.

31:17

Could ESPN have had a camera

31:19

above and

31:22

just monitored what was going on without

31:25

showing it. That's

31:27

what I was curious about. And

31:29

you're not going to go to that camera angle, but

31:32

can you do that to then help lisas

31:34

Salters on the sidelines just

31:36

maybe describe what is going on. I

31:39

don't know, but look,

31:43

when there's live bullets there, you

31:46

know, all bets are off. So when somebody

31:48

goes, oh I would have I would

31:50

never do that, not in this situation,

31:54

Oh you know what they should have done. I've

31:57

you know, you've got to experience people who've

31:59

been doing this a long time and

32:01

all of a sudden you're trying to capture this. What

32:03

do I capture? What can I show? What can I not show?

32:06

What information do we have? Let's go to break come

32:08

back. Let's go to Susie

32:11

Colbert, Let's go to Booger McFarland, Let's

32:13

go to Troy and Joe like it

32:16

is happening so quickly that

32:19

you have to be fair to those people who

32:21

are doing their jobs right in front

32:23

of you. And having done

32:25

that, you know where

32:27

you're saying, Okay, what am I doing next?

32:29

I've been on the field with

32:32

the Super Bowl trophy presentation and

32:34

I was not told who was the MVP of

32:36

the Super Bowl. In the Steelers game against

32:38

Arizona, I couldn't hear anybody.

32:41

They're bringing the trop Joe Namath

32:44

is bringing the trophy right towards

32:46

the podium. Now I

32:48

still don't know who the MVP is. I

32:50

got Ben Roethlisberger, who's here, who

32:52

I think thinks he's the MVP. I've

32:56

got the owner, mister Rooney. I've

32:58

got my time Comelin, and

33:01

I've Santonio

33:03

Holmes. So I've got

33:06

all of this right here, and I don't know who

33:08

the MVPs. And then I got the commissioner.

33:10

And then the commissioner's talking to me while

33:13

I'm I'm hearing from my producer up

33:16

above. So the Commissioner's gonna, are

33:18

you gonna introduce me? Are you? So I'm I'm

33:20

sort of hearing the commissioner while I'm

33:22

trying to I'm pointing to you

33:24

know, my earpiece, like, hey, can you help

33:26

me here? And all of a sudden, Joe

33:29

Namath, who's walking the players, are down on

33:31

the ground. They're touching the trophy and

33:34

I look down and I'm yelling

33:36

at my producer who

33:39

is the MVP, And

33:41

all I heard was homes.

33:45

I'm going homes. Oh

33:48

okay, all right, Joe

33:51

Namath comes up with the trophy. I introduced

33:53

the commissioner, you know, then we pass

33:55

it around. Let's bringing the MVP, and then

33:57

Ben and then coach and crazy.

34:01

But nobody knows that in the moment. And

34:03

obviously that's to a far lesser degree,

34:06

but that's in front of one hundred million people

34:09

estimated, where you're just going, all right,

34:11

help me. You know, you're the duck on the water

34:13

and you're paddling, but you don't

34:15

want anybody to realize you're paddling for

34:17

dear life. All Right, we'll take a break. When we come

34:19

back the Hall of Fame finalist,

34:22

we'll sort through the list more phone calls

34:24

as well. We're back after this. We

34:27

did it last year, We're going to do it this

34:29

year. We'll do it even better this year. What

34:31

could that possibly be the Mercedes

34:34

Ben sprinter van and we're giving it away.

34:36

We did it last year. It was seating in the

34:38

French Kid. They drove out to Los Angeles

34:40

and we gave that sprinter van away.

34:43

This is what you need to do. Really, you don't have to do anything

34:45

other than enter get official rules. Go to dan

34:47

Patrick dot com your chance to win. There's

34:50

nothing to pay for, there's nothing to sign

34:52

up for other than the rules, and you register.

34:54

That's it, and then you wait until I

34:57

announce who wins this sprinter van. It's

34:59

as easy as at your unlocking potential,

35:01

the potential to do your own thing

35:03

on the road, be your own boss. And every

35:05

sprinter VM built, designed and equip

35:08

to let you hit the open road, take on any

35:10

really under my skin. What

36:12

this tweet from somebody? What would

36:15

they say? Burton?

36:18

He said, hearing you guys talk about guitarist

36:20

is entertaining in the way it would be entertaining to hear a bunch

36:22

of guitarists talk about sports. Well,

36:25

what was so like like off basse

36:27

about Jimmy Hendrix being one of

36:29

the greatest guitar players of all time? Yeah,

36:31

I don't understand. And we mentioned

36:34

two guys that most people have no idea

36:36

who they are Albert Lee and Rory Gallier.

36:39

Yeah, it's it's cute listening to you

36:41

guys talking about this. We talk about Eddie

36:43

van Halen was awesome. Well, oh my god, I'll

36:46

get you guys say that talk

36:48

about playoff scenario and

36:53

we preface a lot like, look, we're we clearly

36:55

aren't rock historians, but

36:57

they'd be like saying, the guy who wrote that note

36:59

can't call and it talked about the Viking

37:01

situation. He did say, love the show, appreciate you

37:03

sticking up for Fritzie. Thank

37:05

you. I appreciate that. Yes, more,

37:09

I didn't want to play some sound from Dave Grohl. His

37:12

drumming style is from unlikely source. Hold

37:14

on, if you

37:16

listen to never Mind the

37:18

Nirvana record, I pulled so much

37:21

stuff from the Gap Band and

37:23

Cameo and Tony Thompson on

37:26

every one of those songs. All

37:29

that

37:33

that's okay,

37:38

alright, it's all a little flam alow, but everything

37:40

is. You know, everybody's imitating somebody

37:43

else. Everybody samples from everybody. That's

37:45

a great video clip. Actually, if you

37:47

watch it's him with Farrell Williams

37:50

from like the Neptunes, and you know he's like solo

37:52

career and a producer and all this stuff. And it

37:54

absolutely blows his mind to hear Dave Girl

37:57

referenced Gap Band and then put it together

37:59

that like there's another part

38:01

in this and the Nirvan's uncle come as you are where

38:04

it is a straight it's exactly the Gap

38:06

Band drum pill. And you could

38:08

just see like Farrell being like, oh my gosh,

38:10

yeah, but it's the same thing when Michael Jackson

38:13

was told about Hall and Oates that Michael

38:15

Jackson was sampling from Hall and Oates. Yeah,

38:18

yeah, but he did. Billy Jean all

38:20

Right. Got some updated

38:23

information, hopefully good information.

38:25

This is from the Buffalo Bills. Per

38:27

the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin

38:30

at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Damar

38:32

has shown remarkable improvement over

38:34

the past twenty four hours. While still

38:36

critically ill, he is demonstrated

38:39

that he appears to be neurologically

38:42

intact. His lungs continue

38:44

to heal, and he is making steady progress.

38:47

We are grateful for the love and support we

38:49

have received. That is awesome

38:52

and that's the most specific update

38:54

we've received since he's been

38:56

in the hospital. But they

38:58

were worried about and he lost

39:00

consciousness twice of

39:03

blood flow to the brain, and the

39:05

fact that according to the doctors

39:07

he appears to be neurologically intact

39:11

is great news. There. The Hall

39:14

of Fame finalist list came out, and

39:18

how many players are on that? Paulie

39:21

is there? Fifteen at

39:23

the final fifteen? There? All

39:27

right? So how about

39:29

we picked two Jared

39:32

Allen, Willie Anderson Ronde Barber,

39:35

Dwight Freeney, Devin Hester, Torry Holt,

39:37

Andre Johnson, Albert Lewis, Durrell

39:39

Reeves, Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas,

39:42

DeMarcus Ware, Reggie Wayne, Patrick

39:44

Willis, and Darren Woodson. This

39:47

is Darren Woodson's first time. I think in the

39:49

final fifteen you get

39:52

two. Todd take your two.

39:55

I'm taking Dwight, Freeney and Zach

39:57

Thomas. All right, Seaton O'Connor, I'm

40:01

taking Devin Hester and

40:04

Darren Woodson. Right, Marvin,

40:08

I'm gonna take Reggie, Wayne and Patrick

40:10

Willis. Oh all

40:12

right, Paulieu,

40:18

Tory Holt and

40:22

oh Man, Tory Holt and Joe Thomas. Do

40:24

you really think Tory Holt, Yeah,

40:27

yes, because he caught over

40:29

ninety balls eight times. Yeah, but I

40:31

couldn't tell the difference between Isaac Hold

40:34

or roof

40:38

Isaac Hold. Yeah, but I don't think that's fair

40:40

to Tory Hold because if they would have won one more Super Bowl,

40:42

they become that dynasty. And he gets

40:45

a pass, it catches

40:48

seventy four touchdowns. Yeah.

40:50

Uh, Devin Hester. I didn't pick just

40:52

because the amount of plays

40:54

he played. He is the greatest return of all time. But I'll

40:57

take a full time player over him. Thomas

41:00

to me, deserves to be in. I

41:04

mean, you can make a case for all these guys, but

41:07

this is his fourth time being a Final

41:09

fifteen finalist. I'm

41:13

glad that Patrick Willis is getting

41:16

some recognition. There A

41:18

great player, you know, didn't get the

41:21

opportunity to play in you know that

41:23

many big games. I don't think I

41:27

do Zach. Zach

41:30

Thomas and Darrell Reeves would be

41:32

the two guys. I mean, Joe Thomas deserves

41:34

to be in there as well, but I

41:37

hope Zach Thomas getting that opportunity.

41:40

Yampoint. I kind of took a look at Jared

41:42

Allen's run again and started

41:44

in Kansas City in the Minnesota fifteen

41:46

sacks, fifteen sacks, fifteen sacks eleven,

41:48

twenty two, twelve eleven. It's

41:50

a six year monster run. Four

41:53

all pros. Anybody had more

41:55

sacks in a six year period than

41:58

Jared Allen did. Yes, Seaton somebody

42:00

had mentioned this too, and I can't kind of see

42:02

what they mean by it. There's a little bit of like

42:04

a log jam with wide receivers getting

42:06

into the Hall of Fame. That's a real problem position

42:08

for the Hall of Fame. Well, because now

42:11

you have to have a thousand catches. I

42:14

mean we look back and we go, wait,

42:16

how did Lynn Swan get it? Okay,

42:19

it was just a different you know, it

42:21

was different then as far as the numbers go. But

42:24

you know you're looking at Reggie Wayne, Andre

42:29

Johnson Tory.

42:31

Hold yeah,

42:37

it's tough to stand down as a wide receiver.

42:39

Final hour coming up, one

42:41

more item, we close out hour two. It's
