1:08

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

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

22:06

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

37:24

be well, No, that's Mark

37:26

37:29

37:31

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

37:42

Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

37:47

37:56

on the Peacock app. Aaron Rodgers

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.
