Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, Juno,
1:04
how long have I been saying to you? Paulie,
1:06
if I could just get into that Juno
1:08
market. Yeah, mister the Covas big guy. We've
1:11

1:13
to the show, and now we finally have some support. Yep.
1:15
So next week we'll be up to three hundred and seventy
1:18
six Juno Alaska.
1:20
Has anybody been to Alaska? Mclovin
1:22
has been to Alaska and I've been to Juno,
1:25
and it's awesome. You've
1:27
been to Juno? I did you? I did an
1:29
Alaska trip with my girlfriend. We
1:32
just broke it up, A booked the
1:34
trip and went to Alaska with a girl I just
1:36
broken up with a long time without that. I can't
1:38
believe a gay personal about this, and you still
1:40
enjoyed the trip I did? Because
1:43
it's so amazing. Shouldn't
1:45
we be saving this gold, this radio gold
1:47
for next week when we're on in Juno Alaska
1:49
for the launch. It wasn't that
1:52
good? I mean, yes, Todd, did you
1:54
know we visited? Okay? Also,
1:58
Juno is Seaton's favorite movie too. As I
2:00
recall, we're gonna chake, We're
2:03
gonna take that out in the rear, Todd, Yeah,
2:05
we'll edit that out. I was thinking about not seeah,
2:08
let's work shop this. So we're ready to go for Juno
2:10
Alaska because you get one shot at
2:12
Juno Alaska and I don't want to screw this up
2:15
atually. Okay, yes, haven't
2:17
you been to Alaska or that British
2:19
Columbia And they're not the same thing. They are not.
2:22
They're really close. But I went to British
2:24
Columbia to go fly fishing, and
2:26
I wanted to go to Alaska to
2:29
do that. But the place we went to was
2:31
in British Columbia. That's where you go in you
2:33
you have one of those uh sea
2:35
planes and you fly any land
2:37
on the water. It's it's it was awesome.
2:40
Yes, what better way to make
2:42
a debut in Juno. Then let's go
2:44
fly fishing. Let's go land in that plane
2:46
in the water. Let's go do all that stuff. Dude. Okay,
2:49
first things first, I reached out to
2:51
Cabella and Bass Pro shops and
2:53
I said, could you send up some fly
2:55
fishing gear? And I think that that's
2:58
on its way. So we have to start, you
3:00
know, baby steps here to learn how to fly fish,
3:02
because I don't think any of you guys know how
3:04
to fly fish. I think
3:06
maybe just a cane pole would be the
3:09
best thing for you guys. But if
3:11
you guys are willing to try fly fishing,
3:14
then maybe we could do that. God,
3:16
I can't imagine what Todd Okay gets
3:19
the waiters get out there in the water. Dude,
3:21
we are getting waiter. Let's do it. I'm getting waiters
3:23
for you guys. I'm all about that. We're gonna
3:25
have fly fishing and you're gonna have waiters.
3:28
And uh, that means you go into the
3:30
water, Todd. Somebody doesn't come take our order
3:32
as a lot. No, No, it's not a waiter. No, I
3:34
don't know what you meant. Serious, I don't know what the waiter. Yes,
3:38
he does not know what waiters are. Well, I know that, dude.
3:40
Dis Cabella's make water wings for Todd, like little
3:42
puffy things. Shot that I have of going
3:44
out and then the water. I have to get that. I
3:46
can't have you out there. Can we get baked a Laska? By
3:48
the way, we're talking about to
3:50
Last, Why don't we get to celebrate the new affiliate.
3:52
I've never had baked to Last? You have
3:55
not lived It's legit, it's
3:57
so good. Is it better than tiermy Sue, definitely,
4:00
Oh okay,
4:02
I don't know. I don't know. Um,
4:05
I don't know if I could go home to my wife
4:07
if I said that Baked Alaska was better than Tiramy
4:10
Sue. Yes, mclov by way Todd
4:12
almost died of hypothermia in Long Island. I
4:14
don't know if you could take it. Oh my god, Oh
4:17
that's right, Andy. I had the chills
4:19
and I didn't do a very good job of hiding.
4:21
Now it was fifty two degrees
4:24
and it was raining, and we were on the set of
4:26
a Sandler movie and
4:29
and so Todd. God, they
4:33
said, out a bus full of strangers in
4:35
in air condition air conditioning,
4:38
and and he he was sitting
4:40
next to me, and I had to shoot my scene. And
4:43
then he's like, and
4:45
I go, what is wrong? It was so
4:48
cold? And now there's a
4:51
woman whose job is
4:53
our wardrobe. And I said, do you
4:55
see that woman? She's eight feet
4:57
away. I don't know why I got so shy. I'm usually pretty
4:59
out looking man. It was a woman too. So
5:01
you normally go up and talk to all the women
5:04
even though you shouldn't, but shot them up. And
5:06
you know, I never know what's gonna heats. Like, so
5:09
cool, I said, Todd,
5:12
it's just it's raining and it's fifty two.
5:14
And then he goes, I'm gonna go
5:17
on the bus. I love the thought process
5:20
too, by the way of someone who's clearly
5:22
ill. I mean, his face was like just the
5:24
palist I've ever seen is It's like
5:26
he's called, oh, coffin doing the whole
5:28
thing. He's like, all right, how am I gonna go make myself
5:31
better? You know what, I'm gonna go sit on this bus full
5:33
of strangers in air conditioning
5:35
and air conditioning like no concern whatsoever
5:37
about making everybody on there sick. He's just like, oh,
5:40
no, I know they're on a trip or whatever, they're here
5:42
from being an extra. I'm just gonna go sit on that and infect
5:44
the room. So cool. Cool.
5:47
Yes, I walked on the bus to tell
5:49
Todd we had to start shooting. And the bus is
5:51
on, the drivers keeping it on, so the people on the
5:53
bus and the people are about to have sweatshirts and jackets. But
5:55
for some reason, the air because she's pumping and
5:58
and if if I didn't grab Todd off that bus us,
6:00
he would have been like the Nicholson at the end of the shining,
6:03
he'd be there today frozen solid. He
6:06
would not know how to get out of that stat
6:09
And I said to you. He
6:11
goes, they have they air conditioning
6:13
on on the bus, and I said, did you ask them
6:16
to turn it off? No? I
6:18
didn't think of that. I
6:20
must. I figured everyone must have wont the air conditioning on?
6:22
Who am I to tell them not to have the air conditioning?
6:24
No one's complained about it. Your wife,
6:27
you were so upset with me. I
6:29
was because I get you my top three if I had
6:31
to rank them of angriest that you've
6:34
been at me. I handled that poorly on
6:36
many levels. But I got you this
6:39
role, a walk on role in his Sandler
6:41
movie, and I
6:43
was very appreciative of I just I wasn't feeling on. I
6:45
should have done something more than I was about
6:48
the Yes. I don't
6:50
know if you know this, but see and I had a speaking
6:52
role in that movie that went away because of the
6:54
rain. They're in that scene. We were
6:56
sitting with Adam Sandler early in the day
7:00
and mclovin had to go to wardrobe and
7:02
Seaton. I were sitting there with Adam. He goes come in and have
7:04
some bacon. He had a big play to bacon. And
7:06
we sat there for twenty minutes waiting for you guys
7:09
to get your makeup and stuff on. And he goes,
7:11
I'm gonna put you two guys in the
7:13
stands and you're gonna be hecklers.
7:15
You're just be heckling. I think we're heckling you, Dan,
7:17
you were the coach. Yeah, and the week
7:20
off and then the rainout happened,
7:22
so they had to bump that scene to the next day
7:24
and they found two other yokels. By the
7:26
way, The new Sandler movie that I'm in Hube Halloween.
7:29
It comes out on Netflix tomorrow
7:32
and by all accounts, got good
7:34
reviews. I don't know if
7:36
there's awards, but I'm
7:39
the school principal and there's
7:41
a food fight scene and so
7:43
that comes out tomorrow. Yes, time do they give out like the Halloweeni's
7:46
other Halloween related awards for like actors
7:48
in spooky movies. I don't know they
7:50
should have that. They play on every
7:52
other word of awards the Halloweeni's you can
7:54
get something, Okay, Well, maybe why don't you come up
7:56
with the list and give out the Todd Fritz halloweenie
7:59
a little jackale on the top and of like the oscar
8:01
head, it's like a pumpkinhead. Yes, hey Todd,
8:03
Juno. That was a terrible jill. There
8:07
was half baked the idea to even trying to got
8:09
it? Okay, I got
8:11
it? Uh.
8:13
Also Amazon Music this week
8:15
the podcast of that scene is with David
8:18
Spade. The scene in Tommy
8:20
Boy that's called did Todd? I'd
8:24
like to tire me soup for the next last ten minutes
8:26
of my life? Back all right, we aren't interrupting your
8:29
show. David Spade
8:31
talking about this scene in Tommy Boy where he
8:33
and Chris Farley are in the car and they're picking
8:36
tune singing. So that's Amazon Music.
8:39
That scene is the name of the podcast.
8:41
Yes to I did it Todd went over pretty well
8:43
on the side of the but not getting that much left.
8:45
You don't have to do it. I know, I know you say it's the
8:47
second time it loses, But scenes crack
8:49
it up. He always God blessed like
8:54
I did a Rod Todd about my name is.
8:56
We just got a new affiliate in Juno, Alaska. That's the
8:58
whole that's where we're trying to acomplisher. Don't
9:01
make me get mad. I'm
9:03
just glad that the thing up there didn't come down. I med
9:05
this yet the thing he didn't give you that idea.
9:08
Yeah, so yeah, let's
9:10
send it out to I did a Todd the thing.
9:13
The curtain is coming down on Todd of if you're
9:15
watching right now, No,
9:17
you did. You asked for it. Yeah,
9:20
there you go. There's what I mean. You're watching.
9:22
We put the big curtain
9:25
over Todd. The cone is silence there. Hey,
9:28
you doing, Todd. I
9:30
I get very very nervous with this whole thing.
9:32
Man. How much long does it have to be on me? Oh?
9:34
You know, and I'm trying. I'm pressing the button. It doesne
9:36
oh no, there it goes. It works here, you know. I don't
9:38
like that. All right, Welcome to the program already
9:41
in progress. You got Lakers
9:43
and the Heat coming up tonight. Man,
9:46
I don't know if Jimmy Butler has ever
9:48
gotten this much love in the span
9:50
of twenty four forty eight
9:52
hours. Jimmy Butler
9:54
has gotten as much love. He's probably
9:56
when you think about bubble love, not
10:00
Bubba the love sponge is bubble love. The
10:02
Phoenix Sun's got some bubble love. T
10:05
J. Warren got some bubble love. Tyler
10:07
Hero got a couple of days. In fact, we started
10:10
talking about Tyler Hero. We got Tyler
10:12
Hero t shirts sent to us by somebody.
10:15
And now Jimmy Butler, Jimmy
10:17
Butler the one of the great triple doubles
10:19
and the history of the NBA Finals that
10:22
could all change tonight because
10:24
Lebron might have himself a
10:27
Jimmy Butler triple double tonight. What's
10:30
the betting line Lakers, giving how many McLeay
10:34
Lebron always has a triple double. We
10:36
wouldn't care to literally, but oh I know. But
10:38
because Jimmy Butler did it against Lebron, that's
10:41
why it's a big deal. I mean, it's the NBA
10:43
Finals, But if he did this against the Clippers,
10:45
it would not have anywhere near the impact.
10:48
But it is a triple double against
10:51
Lebron Lebron, and look,
10:53
Lebron didn't play well in the fourth quarter, and
10:56
he did say you're in trouble in the first quarter,
10:58
and I love that. Jimmy Butler came back and said, Lebron,
11:01
you're in trouble. But
11:04
do I expect Lebron and company to
11:06
Anthony Davis probably won't be in
11:09
foul trouble. He'll probably have more shots
11:11
than Mark Keith Morris, and
11:13
they might be shooting better from three point range.
11:16
I don't know if Bam Auto Baio is coming back.
11:19
I don't think Gordon Droggitch is coming back. And
11:21
I still expect the Lakers to be winning this Yes,
11:24
how do you set a line if you don't know about Bam out
11:26
of Baio or is that really not that big a deal.
11:28
I think Jimmy Butler had a greater game because
11:31
Bam out of Baio was not in the game. Because
11:35
Bam is down low now,
11:37
Kelly Olinok is out and so
11:39
he makes so you can't have Dwight Howard
11:42
on the floor, like you changed the whole rotation
11:44
there. And as much as I love Bam out of
11:46
Bio, Butler was able to go
11:48
down low and they didn't have an answer
11:51
for him, and so it changes
11:53
a little bit. And if Bam is not playing,
11:56
I expect Jimmy Butler to try to do the same thing,
11:58
take advantage of some miss matches.
12:00
But you know, you try to
12:02
figure these things out. It's just different trying
12:04
to figure it out in the bubble, and
12:07
you know, you have a short turnaround period, which
12:09
I do like because I remember covering
12:11
the NBA Finals for the Mothership and to be like, there's
12:14
a game on Thursday, and then there'd be a
12:16
game on Sunday, and then there be
12:18
a game on Wednesday. Like it was just
12:21
as long as you could drag this out, they
12:23
would. Now we had travel back then. But
12:27
game coming up tonight, and
12:29
maybe Game three was an aberration. Maybe the real
12:31
Lakers show up tonight. Maybe this series
12:34
is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
12:36
And from the outset, that's all I wanted.
12:39
I just wanted it. I wanted people to be able
12:41
to see the Miami heat and understand
12:44
what a great story they've been this season.
12:46
Not having Goren, Draggitch and Bam out of bio,
12:49
they're not going to be able to see what this,
12:51
you know, this true story of what they were
12:53
all about this year. But Jimmy
12:55
Butler is certainly getting a coming
12:58
out party here. And also
13:00
we look back now, remember in Philadelphia
13:03
dealing with Ben Simmons
13:05
and Joe LMB, those younger players, and
13:07
he would be frustrated Minnesota the same
13:09
way he got frustrated with the younger players there
13:12
and in Miami, those players
13:15
listen to him, and I think that's been
13:17
the big key. By the way, Doc Rivers
13:20
was introduced yesterday the seventy six ers
13:22
head coach, and apparently Doc is
13:24
all in on that lineup in Philadelphia.
13:26
Here's Doc Rivers. I love coaching, I
13:29
absolutely love it. But I was not going
13:31
to just coach anybody. I can tell you that I
13:33
was ready to take a break. You know. When Elton
13:36
called it was an easy get
13:38
on the plane and take a look for me.
13:40
And just when you look at these players
13:42
as young players and their potential, fact
13:45
that they've had so much success in some
13:47
ways at the ages that they
13:49
are already and where I believe they can
13:52
go for me, is a job
13:54
he just couldn't turn down. And that's
13:56
why I'm here, just really excited about it. All
13:58
right. I hope it goes well for him.
14:00
It just kind of resembles a
14:02
younger Clippers team where I'm
14:05
just not quite sure of the star players, certainly
14:09
with Ben Simmons and some limitations.
14:12
Joe el embiid his commitment,
14:14
and then you got some you know, square
14:17
pegs that you're trying to put in round holes and vice
14:19
versa, and so he
14:21
got a lot of money spent on that roster
14:23
there. Last night, the Chiefs became the first
14:25
team ever to open up four and oh and four consecutive
14:28
seasons. And prior to that streak, they
14:30
had started four and oh just three times in the franchise's
14:33
first fifty seven years.
14:36
And here's Mahomes. He's won thirteen consecutive
14:38
starts if you include the postseason. He's
14:41
thrown at least one touchdown pass in all thirteen
14:43
games. And that's a streak that puts him
14:45
up there with Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Joe
14:48
Montana, and Kenny Stabler. You
14:50
know, it wasn't a perfect game, but those
14:52
are the games that fascinate me. You
14:54
know, you can be thrown four touchdown
14:56
passes no interceptions like Aaron Rodgers
14:59
did, But can you win a game where
15:01
you might throw for one eighty six one
15:03
touchdown, two picks and you beat
15:05
a quality opponent Because you're going to have
15:08
those games, you know, not everybody is
15:10
going to be the Atlanta Falcons and
15:12
Rogers did look great last night. The
15:15
team looked great, but this
15:17
is a Falcons team that is you
15:19
know, lea leaking oil and
15:22
then what I saw with New England. I
15:24
truly believe if Cam Newton is in there,
15:27
it's a different game and maybe a different
15:29
outcome because that defense
15:32
was they had a great game plan. And I do
15:34
believe every time Belichick has faced Patrick
15:36
Mahomes, he has had
15:38
a better performance from his defense each
15:40
time. So he's figuring it out. The
15:43
question is do they get a shot at them in the playoffs,
15:45
but with Cam instead of Brian Hoyer
15:49
Jared Stidham. Horrier
15:51
goes fifteen to twenty four one interception,
15:53
Jared Stidham two interceptions
15:56
there. You know, Horyer had a couple of mistakes
15:58
there. Edelman had the ball goes through his hands
16:01
with Tyron Matthew got
16:03
the ricochet there. But I think
16:06
you run the football and just
16:09
have your secondary. You know, eight
16:11
guys back there, seven
16:13
guys back there, and that's what he did last night. Don't
16:15
blitch Mahomes, And
16:18
I think that's the game plan. The question
16:20
is anybody going to be I still want
16:22
to know, and I'll sit corrected
16:25
here on the show if somebody
16:27
wins a shootout with Patrick Mahomes.
16:30
But if you say, hey, they
16:32
got a good secondary and they ran the football
16:34
and they limited his number of chances on the field,
16:36
and I'd say, yeah, that's the way to do it. Yeah.
16:38
Point when the ball went through Edelman's
16:40
hands, I think Tyron Matthew turned it for a pick
16:42
sex soon I must have got a dozen notes,
16:44
how's your hall of Famer now? And
16:48
then you said you mean Tyron Matthew. Yeah yeah,
16:50
Tyron Matthew. Yeah yeah,
16:52
we all have. I don't know who came up with it, but
16:54
the whole show is labeled with Edelman as a Hall of Famer?
16:57
Is in fairbries? We just brought up as a discussion
16:59
point. Yes, people are coming after YouTube,
17:01
you're you're you're at the Edelman as a Hall
17:04
of Famer and you've said, no, no, he's not a
17:06
Hall of Famer. He's not,
17:08
he's not. Other
17:10
people are wondering if he should play quarterback again next
17:13
week. I don't, I don't. I shouldn't
17:15
get lumped in with this. I
17:17
haven't led the chart. You know, we bring
17:20
these questions up, and then what was the other
17:22
question we brought up one time? All
17:24
the Mount Rushmore? And
17:26
then everybody had their Mount Rushmore, Like we
17:29
just throw him out and then whatever you do
17:31
with him, you know, good luck, have fun. Yes
17:33
time. When you've often said the history of the Super
17:35
Bowl can't be written or discussed
17:37
without Julian Edelman, some whether
17:40
rightfully so or not, take that as Julian Edelman
17:42
should be part of the Hall of Fame because of what
17:45
he did in the super Bowls and that
17:47
should maybe make him I'm not saying you said it, but
17:49
it can be construed as he's a Hall of Famer
17:51
for what he's meant to the super Bowls in the National
17:53
Football League. That clears it up. I'm
17:59
trying to explain why so many people think that
18:01
you They think that you have him in
18:03
Canton with a bust because
18:06
of that line. You can't you can't
18:08
write the history of the Super Bowl without Julie. I don't thank you,
18:10
Tod. Why do I not clear it up?
18:12
But I know it's I understand why
18:14
they think that. But I never said he's a
18:16
hall of famer. I said you can't tell the history
18:19
of the NFL or the Super Bowl without Julian
18:22
Edelman dot dot And then you know what are people right? There?
18:24
Are there are other players
18:27
who had unbelievable super Bowls.
18:29
But that doesn't mean they're Hall of famers. Timmy
18:32
Smith had a great one, Larry
18:34
Brown had a great one, but that
18:37
doesn't mean that they're going into the Hall of Fame.
18:40
Yes, that's not fair to put
18:42
Julian Edelman. I know, I know, I know. It's
18:44
just this is short notice here. But you
18:47
put it. You put all the great Steelers teams, you put all
18:49
those Dolphins, like so you put all the Patriots
18:51
in right? No, No, it's different
18:54
now, like you
18:56
know the the
18:57
uh the
18:59
number is there. It's just different. It's
19:02
you know, what we expect out of a wide receiver like Lynn
19:05
Swan with those numbers doesn't get in now.
19:07
So Lynn Swan is the Edelman of this sent
19:10
and eighties. Yes, After missing
19:12
two catchable balls last night against Kansas
19:14
City, Edelman has eleven dropped
19:17
passes since the start of last season. No
19:19
other player has more than eight in that span.
19:23
Stat of the day, stat of the day,
19:26
that best stat of the day, stat
19:28
of the day. Here
19:31
comes that what stat of the
19:33
day? And
19:36
I'm not piling on Julian Edelman.
19:39
Does it feel like I'm trying to distance myself from
19:42
Julian Edelman being a Hall of Famer against Polly. All
19:44
those drop passes, that's a show of loyalty for
19:46
Tom Brad who what's at
19:48
the start of last season? Last
19:50
season back to you, Yeah, he was dropping
19:52
some for Tommy. He actually ran tom out of town.
19:57
Thanks, Julian. Yeah, all right,
20:00
busy day in baseball today and tonight we'll
20:02
check in with Mark Grant, the Padres
20:05
analyst, been doing a long time. You
20:08
imagine sitting through those games all
20:10
of those years when you knew that
20:12
you weren't going to be good, and here
20:14
they are basing the Dodgers
20:16
in the postseason. So we'll talk to Mark. You
20:19
know, Mark Grant knows a good Harry carry impersonation,
20:22
So maybe you could judge yours time. Yeah,
20:24
I don't think I do a great one. No you don't, So
20:26
it's just get made fun of it. Yeah.
20:28
Chris Sims will also joined us. We
20:31
are the Chiefs, vulnerable and
20:33
who is the best team right now in the NFL.
20:36
So he'll join us. Coming up a little bit later
20:38

21:01
need and perks you'll never use. That is
21:03
why you switch to Pure Talk USA.
21:06
Pure Talk only charges you for the data
21:08
you need, and they're on the exact same towers
21:10
as those big carriers. Get the same coverage,
21:13

21:15
talk text two gigs of data twenty dollars

a month, so the average person is saving four
21:19
hundred dollars a year. Get
21:22
unlimited talk text plus two gigs
21:24
of data twenty dollars a month, and you
21:26
can from your cell phone dial pound
21:28
two fifty and all you do is say Dan Patrick, and
21:30
you immediately say fifty percent off
21:32
your first month. So it's pound two
21:34
fifty and say Dan Patrick. You'll
21:36

Peacock Act. I'm wondering who
22:08
the next coach to get
22:11
fired is, dan Quinn, Matt Patricia,
22:13
Adam Gaze, and I
22:15
take no joy in this, but you start to look
22:17
at once that first coach is fired,
22:20
then an owner feels like, okay,
22:22
it's okay if I'm the second owner to do
22:24
that. And I was told that Arthur Blank did not
22:27
want to be the first owner to fire his
22:29
coach. And dan Quinn it feels
22:31
like it's not a question of if, but when Adam
22:34
Gaze, if it continue, I just don't know how it gets
22:36
better for the Jets and the Lions.
22:39
They keep blowing leads. So Matt Patricia,
22:41
dan Quinn, Adam gays they'll probably
22:43
be one, maybe one or
22:45
two more coaches that might vacancies
22:48
there. And Eric b Enemy, the Kansas City
22:51
Chiefs offensive coordinator, is going to have
22:53
his choice of jobs there more
22:55
phone calls coming up. He has spent
22:57
twenty five seasons as the Padre
23:00
raised TV color analyst, the former
23:02
major league pitcher Mark Grant joining
23:04
us now first pitch Padres Dodgers anil
23:06
Ds. Game one is tonight
23:09
at nine to thirty Eastern. Been
23:11
a long time, Mark, How are you Hi?
23:14
Hung to dance faster?
23:17
It's been a long time since the
23:19
Podres have pendled the post station in
23:22
back the last time I watched Pobre
23:24
baseball when they were so bad. I
23:27
had a six back before the sixth
23:29
interview A service God made
23:31
green apples. The Chicago
23:34
Cubs will not be in the World Series
23:36
this year. How's it going,
23:39
Dayton Flyer? My buddy, h
23:41
Dan, It's been It's been a long time, my
23:44
friend. How are you? I'm doing great now
23:46
while you're doing your Harry Carey Todd
23:48
Fritz has been working on
23:50
a I
23:53
think I got that. I
23:56
should out for Bobby
23:58
Towns take
24:00
a five to four away the bottom
24:03
of those stars. Did
24:05
you ever meet Harry Carey? I
24:07
did, um and it was a treat. I mean, I
24:10
grew up in Joliet, Illinois, and you're
24:12
very much familiar with that. Now. Everybody
24:16
says, you know you're the product
24:18
of your environment. Well, I believe You're also a
24:20
product of your sports environment. I
24:22
grew up listening to Jack Brickhouse
24:25
and Harry Carey. Well, Dan, guess what
24:27
kind of announcer I'm going to be if I if I become
24:29
an announcer, right, I'm
24:31
gonna be a homer. And you know I'm a self proclaiming homer.
24:33
I love my pod Race. I love
24:36
the game of baseball. But then
24:38
again, you know, being you got to be critical about your team
24:40
too, and believe me, there's been a lot of that over the years.
24:42
But I love my I love my Fryars. I'm
24:44
so happy for him to being in the playoffs this year. You
24:46
got a bobble head over your shoulder. Yeah,
24:49
that's know, that's I saw. It's a small
24:51
bobblehead. Can
24:54
you guess who it is? Is it too small? It's too small?
24:56
Okay? Do you want me to bring it up over you're for you? Yeah? Yeah,
24:59
you can bring it up because I see all your pictures in every
25:01
day. Yeah, yeah, you know, I
25:03
don't have a lot of baseball memory billion in my house.
25:05
By the way, I'm sporting my Slam Diego shirt. Well you
25:07
don't. You don't have many baseball memories
25:09
worth having. What
25:12
if somebody's got a picture of somebody behind
25:15
third base by the dugout backing up third,
25:17
that's probably a picture that What is your
25:19
favorite baseball memory? Like just to give
25:22
the audience an idea of
25:24
the quality of play, you
25:28
know, I had a one two three ani back in nineteen
25:30
eighty I think it was August eighteenth,
25:33
and it was a day game at Jack Murphy
25:35
Stadium. It was unbelievable. It
25:37
was the most exciting. It was like an eight
25:40
pitch inning as well. I
25:43
got a couple of couple of groundballs at jam
25:45
shot on the first baseman. Who how
25:47
many Hall of famers do you think you struck out in
25:49
your career? Uh?
25:52
One that comes to mind is you
25:55
know you Okay?
25:58
You ask any picture numbers and they're
26:00
gonna remember numbers. I remember some numbers. The
26:02
one that really sticks out Ozzie Smith was two for twenty
26:05
off me. So I mean
26:07
I struck out Ozzie Smith. Obviously
26:10
he was known for his glove and
26:14
I think he had a fever that day baby
26:17
or the times that I faced, but I gosh,
26:19
I can't remember. Dan. I know probably your
26:22
staff there has all those staffs. Did you face
26:24
Bonds? Did you face McGuire? Did
26:26
you face good question? I faced
26:29
Barry Bonds, and he never hit a home run off of me,
26:31
but he hit like four sixty five, but
26:34
you kept him in the ballpark, and you
26:36
know what he I remember I was announcing
26:39
my first five or six years whatever, and Barry
26:41
was the Giants, and I told, hey, I
26:43
own you never hit a home run off me. So
26:46
somebody I said, I'll bet he goes, I'll bet
26:48
you a dollar I hit a home run off you. I said, okay,
26:50
you're on. So the statistician
26:53
back then, you know, there was no Internet, so they checked
26:55
the numbers. No home runs, but four
26:57
sixty five or whatever it was. So he gave
26:59
me the dollar bill and he signed it. He goes, I
27:01
owned you forced arty five average, no
27:04
home runs. So that's that's pretty cool, all
27:06
right. The Padres kind of
27:08
captured people's imagination here. You got
27:10
a lot of young talent there. I'm curious
27:12
Mark Grant the picture as opposed
27:15
to Mark Grant the homer for the Padres.
27:17
How you would react to Tattiss
27:21
hitting a Grand Slam and having a
27:23
bat flip as
27:25
a pitcher would probably I'll be quite awesome to you. If
27:27
I was out there pitching, it would probably discrub
27:30
my timing. It would probably kick me off,
27:32
no doubt about it. But as I've grown
27:34
older and balder and fatter, I
27:37
think that these unwritten rules sometimes
27:39
are kind of just tear him up, throw them away. The
27:41
game has changed so much, Dan, and you know that.
27:44
I mean the entertainment value, you know, the
27:46
old MLB adage, let
27:48
the kids play. I'm I'm all
27:50
for that. I don't think Fernando or anybody
27:53
is really showing up a pitcher. It's the excitement
27:55
of the game. I mean, let's face it, the media we
27:57
have these days just has these
27:59
guys every single moment watching what
28:01
they're doing when they're at that, when they're on the model or
28:03
whatever. So in fact, we talked about
28:05
this after the fact when Fernando did
28:07
that, I said, my bottom
28:10
line was, you know it, as a pitcher, now pitch better.
28:12
What are we supposed to do? Three and oh, just hitter's
28:15
just supposed to lay down the bat and then you
28:17
have to hit or a free strike and then just
28:19
you know, lay it in or give the picture a free strike. Now it's
28:21
three and one. Now he makes that really really good
28:23
pitch. You kind of take it at the knees. Okay,
28:26
now it's three. Two. Now what do I do? I'm really protecting
28:29
roll something over, you know whatever. So my
28:31
philosophy is, bottom line, pitch
28:33
better, make a better pitch three and oh I
28:35
love it. I think you have to attract
28:38
a whole new generation here. Now.
28:40
I don't want it to be gimmicky,
28:42
but let's have some I don't
28:44
know if people. I don't think there's enough
28:47
celebrating the game itself. And
28:49
it feels like old school. Hey, these
28:52
are the rules or the unwritten rules. And
28:54
I loved what Tatis did. I
28:56
think it's organic. I really do. And when you look
28:58
around baseball Dan, I think I'm lot of it is organic
29:01
because the guys are. Once you get to know these
29:03
guys too, it's very very important to
29:05
know that that it is organic. They're not just making this
29:07
up. And I want to know where it's written
29:10
to where you know, times have changed, no
29:12
doubt about it, but I want to know where it's written that baseball
29:14
was a tennis match, where
29:17
it was a game, to where
29:19
you're supposed to be proper.
29:22
And you know, I'm all about not showing up the opponents.
29:24
Don't get me wrong, but showing emotion, I think is
29:26
a huge part. And you're absolutely right with
29:28
this crop of talent that we have, especially I'm
29:31
speaking to San Diego, Manny Machado,
29:33
Fernando Tati Junior, the
29:36
whole shooting match. I mean, it's it's about time
29:38
to where these guys go out there and shows some show
29:40
some emotion and uh, you know when
29:42
a guy hits a home run and he backflips and he looks
29:44
at his teammates and the dugout and does the old you
29:47
know, fist pump, whatever the case may be. You know,
29:49
fans love that. I love that. It's the emotion
29:51
of the game and it's I have no problem
29:53
with it. How did the Padres beet the Dodgers,
29:56
Well, it's gonna have to be well. First of all, the pitching
29:58
is a big question mark. Any baseball
30:00
fan out there who's been watching Dean Nelson, Lament, Mike Clevenger.
30:03
Clevenger hasn't pitched since the twenty third.
30:06
There's a chance that he might get a start. Lament
30:09
hasn't pissed since the twenty fifth September. So
30:12
I think the Achilles heal for the Podres
30:14
is the starting pitching. There's no question about that. There
30:16
were six and four against the Dodgers this year. How
30:19
do they beat him? They've beat Bueller
30:21
earlier this year, they beat Kershaw once this year.
30:23
They're gonna have to grind out at bats. I know it sounds like a lot
30:25
of cliches, but these guys are good pitchers. Let's face
30:27
if the Dodgers, when you look at their pitchers when
30:29
healthy, they've got really good pitchers. It's
30:32
gonna be tough to be I think one of the games
30:34
is going to be possibly a bullpen game for the Podres.
30:36
How about that, using nine pitchers in the game, major
30:38
league record. One of them probably gonna be a
30:40
slugfest. You know,
30:42
teams can't get to Kershaw, can get to Bueller,
30:45
but avoid the strikeouts. I think that's one thing Dan
30:47
I remember, gosh, she talked about watching
30:49
bad baseball for many years. My goodness. Over
30:52
the course of some seasons, after a ball
30:54
game there would be count them, four
30:57
innings of strikeouts, four innings
30:59
of great hitters striking
31:01
out. That is not fun to call, that's
31:04
not fun to watch. Did you cry
31:06
when they clinched the play on spunt, I
31:10
got a little emotional, Yeah I did. And I'll tell
31:13
you why. I'll tell you why after
31:16
watching so many well, first of all, wearing the Pottery uniform
31:18
for three years and living here in San Diego
31:21
and having the gig that I do have.
31:23
You know, you grow attached to your team. And
31:26
I was sick and tired of
31:29
the Dodgers coming into town and kicking
31:31
our you know what's around, kicking there, you know what's
31:33
around. I'm not on the team, but I say our. I
31:36
was sick and tired of the Cardinals coming to town. I
31:38
was saying, you get the idea. I was sick and tired
31:40
of people treating the potteris
31:43
like the doormat of the National League coming
31:45
in and say, oh yeah, we'll sweep in three games. They're
31:47
horrible. You know, we'll be in their bullpen in a third inning,
31:49
which was true, but sick and tired of
31:51
it, and it was it was accumulation
31:54
of everything more
31:57
for the fans that have endured such
32:00
brutal baseball over the years, very
32:03
lean years, to finally
32:05
have something to cheer about, and all
32:08
of a sudden it just kind of got to me, and it
32:10
was like, gosh, that family and Lamas
32:12
so that's been following the pottery since the PCL
32:14
days. That family in Escondido that's
32:16
been loving the pottery since nineteen seventy.
32:19
You know where I'm going with this. So it was an accumulation
32:22
of everything wearing the uniform, getting their
32:24
butts kicked, and then finally getting a chance
32:26
to go to the postseason since two thousand and six, it's
32:28
just kind of all hitting me. So and you
32:30
know, if you're watching on Peacock Mark
32:32
Grant has got some things in the background
32:34
there, but you're one of the first
32:36
guests. Now, who who
32:39
is that?
32:41
That is Dwayne
32:45
Keiper. Oh, the famous
32:47
broadcaster there, Dwayne Keeper. Ye, Dwayne
32:50
is probably my dearest friend in basement light hitting
32:53
Dwayne Keiper. Hi, Dwayne
32:55
Keiper one home runoff of Steve Stone
32:58
as clear, but
33:01
I do love it. You've got you've got pull
33:04
like a pulse sticks there, But you
33:06
don't have a pool table, which is interesting
33:09
in your man cave there. I that's
33:11
a nice little touch that it looks like you have
33:13
a pool table. Well, you know, I do have
33:15
a pool table. My iPad is propped up on three
33:17
pillows. Right here. No, k Mark, I understand
33:20
you. Look, you don't have it. You
33:22
don't have it. But I'm sitting I'm actually
33:25
sitting in old stadium seats
33:27
from old Chemiskey Park back in Chicago.
33:29
They remember the green wooden Yeah.
33:32
So anyway, that's about the only thing I have. This is the only
33:34
baseball thing I have in my house. Ay,
33:37
Dwayne Kuiper, bobblehead dough. Yeah,
33:39
the light hitting second baseman, the captain,
33:41
Dwyne Kuiper. So well,
33:45
good luck and have fun. You know,
33:47
do you remember the last time we hung out? Should
33:50
we talk about it? I can
33:52
tell you where we were and when it was. Okay,
33:56
nineteen ninety one, Atlanta
33:59
Jr. Joe, Jocks
34:02
and Jills. Yeah, Craig
34:04
Sager's Bar. Yeah
34:07
that's right, God rest his soul. Yeah, Craig Sager's
34:09
Bar, and we were just yucking
34:12
it up, having a good time. Of course, that was the year that the Braves
34:14
went to the World Series in nineteen ninety one. I was hurt. I was
34:16
the official cheerleader of the team. I did not pitch
34:18
one inning that year, and that's why the Braves were so
34:20
successful. So does this count as hanging
34:23
out, And is this fate that we're
34:25
relighting in this day
34:27
and age. Yes, this is hanging out anytime I
34:29
can look at my iPad and see, I mean, you look
34:31
great, thank you. I mean, oh my gosh,
34:34
you still have your hair. Yeah, yeah, you
34:36
still you still look great.
34:38
And I feel bad because you know,
34:40
I was enjoyed hanging around you, but there
34:43
was no reason to have you on the show because you hadn't done
34:45
anything successfully and so
34:48
I mean no offense, Mark, I just like I couldn't
34:50
maybe on hey another Podre season
34:52
where you won sixty eight games, right,
34:55
But I'm happy that we can reconnect because
34:57
the Padres, the Padres are bringing together.
35:01
Yeah, I can the only success.
35:03
Let's see, all
35:07
those bad years, I had some great
35:09
food in the press area. I you know, I
35:11
gained a lot of weight, ate
35:14
a lot of yogurt, frozen yogurt. You know, all those pottery
35:16
losses were like tilted
35:19
evenly because there was a great yogurt machine
35:21
in the press dining room. Or that's that's
35:23
why I love doing the pottery games back then,
35:25
is because of the yogurt. The baseball.
35:28
The baseball wasn't so good, but the
35:30
yogurt how many losses? How many losses
35:32
have you been a part of as a broadcaster with the Podress?
35:34
Have you totaled it up? Well? I started, I started in
35:36
nineteen ninety six. This would
35:38
be my twenty fifth season. And I
35:41
would say the teams that were above
35:44
five hundred were well,
35:46
ninety eight, ninety six, ninety ninety
35:48
six, was ninety
35:51
eight, two thousand and six, there
35:54
were some good years. There were middle two thousand, two thousand
35:56
and seven, two thousand and eight. I would gosh,
35:58
maybe fewer than ten. Know
36:01
the total of losses, like the
36:03
number of games that you've watched the Padres
36:06
lose in twenty five gotta
36:08
be gott to be over a thousand, right, you
36:11
know, I don't get my stat guy to do it. And
36:14
it's nineteen ninety
36:16
six. And by the way, and have you
36:19
ever been mistaken for the Steve
36:22
the Jerry Springer body guard, Steve
36:24
Wilkin, Steve Wilkos, Yeah,
36:26
have you ever been mistaken for him? I
36:29
have never, no, Pete, No, I have never
36:32
know Uncle Fester yet. I
36:36
can see also a little cal ripken in
36:38
you too, very
36:41
very little now very fat, very
36:44
very little, very very
36:46
they it's the hair fat Cal Ripken Cal
36:48
was a better pitcher. I'm
36:53
being mean spirited here. I never got
36:55
to pitch in the shows. That's okay, Yes, that's
36:58
the Dan Patrick guy. No, great,
37:02
great to catch up with you, and I'll talk to you in
37:04
twenty five years. So
37:07
i'll see twenty five years. I'll bet i'll

37:12
I'll see you. I'll have my walker and
37:15
i'll have my Metamus with me and all that good
37:17
stuff. Pallie put it in the rundown to
37:19
call Mark Grant in twenty five years. Thank
37:22
you, buddy. Yeah,
37:24
be well, No, that's Mark
37:26

37:29

37:31
time that I he was one of those guys. Just

37:37
you with laughs. A lot of fun to be around. All
37:40
Right. We'll take a break back after this and The Dan Patrick

37:58
was asked that he asked to since
38:00
they're heading into a bye week but he can't
38:02
travel because of COVID, and what
38:05
did Rodgers think about that? He said, it sucks. It
38:07
totally sucks. Obviously, it is what it is, especially
38:09
as an older player. I look forward to
38:12
the bye weeks. It is what it is. We'll
38:14
be here, We'll make the most of it. But it sucks. Now,
38:17
in most years, Rogers
38:19
would be able to travel and during
38:21
a bye week there, but the NFL
38:23
Players Association agreed on a new policy
38:26
that requires players to stay in their home cities
38:28
during their bye week so they can be tested
38:30
daily to limit any potential
38:33
outbreaks. Yeah, I understand
38:35
it. I mean that's part of the game
38:37
plan here. Can't let
38:40
everybody travel all over the country during
38:42
a bye week. Probably not a lot
38:44
to do in Green Bay during
38:46
a bye week. I think that's what Aaron is saying. Fritzie
38:48
Goes is Aaron Rodgers taking a shot at Green Bay,
38:50
And I went, I don't know, sucks.
38:53
I gotta stay here in Green Bay when I usually
38:55
go on a fishing tripper here. Well, I don't know if
38:58
he's saying it sucks because I have to day here.
39:00
It sucks because I can't go someplace
39:03
else. You
39:05
know, he'd get a mini vacation out
39:07
of this. So I don't know if he's saying
39:09
that after all these years now he
39:11
says that it sucks in Green Bay during a
39:13
bye week after that, Jordan Love Pick all of a sudden
39:15
towered on the whole whole city. Yeah,
39:18
if Jordan Love wasn't in Green Bay,
39:20
then it would be fine. It's awesome, but I get
39:22
to stay here and I can't go in the Keith. We
39:25
just came up with a question and I
39:28
don't know what the answer is, but do
39:32
you do you have a policy when it comes
39:34
to who your partner has
39:36
dated before? So prior to
39:38
getting married and Seaton
39:41
and McLevin and I were on the basketball
39:43
floor just talking about this. Now, I don't want to know
39:45
anything. There's there's
39:47
it's there's nothing good that can come out of it. But
39:51
even when you first meet, I don't
39:54
want to know. You know, hey, we're you almost
39:56
engaged or were you engaged? And I
39:58
don't want to know any thing about that. Yeah,
40:01
see, do you have a policy?
40:05
Uh? I don't. I don't know that we did have
40:07
a policy. Um, but I
40:10
mean I know, like
40:12
you know, like that we've all had a life before that. I
40:14
mean, we've talked about people that we've dated sort
40:16
of like in conversation. But how does
40:19
it come up in conversation? Um?
40:24
Do it depends?
40:26
Like sometimes you're like Andrew, Like Andrew just told
40:28
a story about how he traveled to
40:31
Juno Alaska and you're like, oh, I went there with an X
40:33
once. Yeah, you know, I mean that's a pretty natural
40:35
thing. But does your wife? Did you tell your wife
40:37
about going to Juno Alaska mclub
40:39
and with a girlfriend? No, but I would
40:42
and she you know what, you have kids.
40:44
I feel like that that part of your life has
40:46
gone, so it's okay to talk about
40:48
it. Man, I don't think so, Paulie,
40:52
you got a policy. I like to know nothing.
40:54
I do know nothing. Um, I
40:56
don't talk a lot about mine. I had a
40:58
situation once where, um we
41:01
took I took my daughter to daycare,
41:03
my young daughter, very young, one year
41:05
old, and one of the other moms
41:08
dropping her similar one year old daughter of
41:10
a daycare was a girl I used to hang out
41:12
with quite a bit and before
41:14
I met my wife. So now the
41:17
circles got the you know, intertwined.
41:20
Did you tell your wife that you dated
41:22
her? Yes, I was forthcoming other
41:24
grenade. But you don't want any part of it, you
41:26
know. I don't want to know hers. She doesn't want to my mind,
41:29
Well, there's nothing good
41:31
that comes out of this. Yeah, see typically
41:34
no, typically no, nothing
41:36
good comes out of it. Todd, I'm
41:39
a bit insecure if you guys just met me, So I'll
41:41
take a walk down memory lane out loud without
41:44
my wife asking for any of your questions about what's
41:46
gone on in my bed. Not that I was at Jiggalo I had some
41:48
great pass but yeah, but does she do the same.
41:50
She does not, because again she's more
41:52
secure and she doesn't need to do that. But I will
41:55
say that about a week or so, my
41:57
daughter saw some old picture from some book. I
41:59
don't know why, what kind of books she's keeping, but she's
42:01
like, who is that boy or guy? Next
42:03
year? That was my boyfriend Mike back in
42:05
high school. And then I hear my daughter say, oh, he was
42:07
really cute and that wasn't necessarily a shot at
42:09
me. But I don't need to hear my daughter talking
42:12
about that. There's some good looking of ex boyfriend
42:14
that my wife went out with in high school. So that was a
42:16
little high school but it was still strange.
42:20
That's not bad. I mean, like if
42:22
if it was like, oh, hey, who's
42:24
this who's this guy next to you? Like, oh, that's
42:27
Jim the billionaire that I dated just before
42:29
your father, then you'd be like, ah, dang,
42:31
that sucks. Now
42:34
you're stuck with me and you could have been with Jim the Billionaire.
42:36
I wonder why Jim the Billionaire didn't work out. That must
42:38
be a really tough break for you. Huh, honey, what
42:40
do you want for dinner? That
42:43
sucks, but your high school boyfriend. At a certain point,
42:45
you gotta be like an adult. Yeah, that's where you have to
42:47
clean out your scrap books and just
42:49
make sure that there's no remnants of anything.
42:52
Yeah, if you have like an old bin with notes
42:55
and stuff and pictures, Yeah, letters from
42:57
an X so let go, Valentine's
43:00
cards, let it go. Yes, I still have
43:02
that plate that had the veggies on it from Simone and Ship,
43:04
said bather. So I've thrown that plate out that had the little
43:07
crewdet does your wife have a plate?
43:10
There is a drawer that she told me not to open up. There's
43:13
a drawer like I went under the lamp on the side of the bed. I'm
43:15
not allowed to touch that. I don't know what's going on there, Final
43:18
final hour coming up.
