Phone calls always welcome operator Tyler sitting by eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. I got the odds from DraftKings this morning because I thought, well, the Rams were busy yesterday. What does that mean for their Super Bowl odds? DraftKings has the Rams as the favorite plus seven fifty, followed by the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks at plus nine hundred. Then you have the Bills at plus one thousand, followed by the Ravens Eagles. Also, the Chiefs are in there after making this big trade. So the Eagles, Chiefs, and Packers all at plus fourteen hundred, and the Rams over under went from ten and a half to eleven and a half yesterday after they made the trade for defensive back Trent McDuffie. This was a great move I think by both teams look like a finished product. Last last year, you had Matthew Stafford MVP. You had wide receivers, a couple of really good defensive linemen, but the problem was the secondary la surrendered an average of thirty one points in their losses last season. Mac Jones and Sam Darnold both threw for over three hundred and forty yards against the Rams. Bryce Young and Jalen Hurts threw a combined six touchdowns against this defense. So Sean McVay and Les Snead the GM decided, we can't ignore the evidence any longer, so they traded for Trent McDuffie with the Kansas City Chiefs. So the Rams are in a win now mode, and why not You have an elite cornerback. Now, now you can say, all right, Trent, there's your guy. You got in Jigma, you got to take him. And this is going to help out immensely with that defensive line because now you've got a guy that you can put single coverage on some of the best receivers. But elite corners are rarely available. But you're chasing a super Bowl in your own division, chasing the defending champs, and you still have the Niners twice a year as well. But McDuffie is going to change the game for them. He's going to change matchups and for a team already near the top. I like what they did. They want to stay on top of that mountain. But looking back at some of these games. Week three, Jalen Hurts three touchdowns, No interceptions. AJ Brown had one hundred and nine receiving yards, and then you had two weeks later against the Niners, Mac Jones throws for three hundred and forty yards, two touchdowns. Kendrick Bourne had ten catches for one hundred and forty two yards. Bryce Young in Week thirteen three touchdown passes. Then you had Week sixteen Sam Darnold, he goes for two hundred and seventy yards. They lost to the Falcons, but nothing really notable as far as wide receivers there. And then the Seahawks in the playoffs Sam Darnold three touchdown passes over three hundred and forty yards and JSN had ten catches for one fifty. Now you got a guy who's gonna make you a whole lot better. And it will come down to this, it's still Matthew Stafford. If Matthew Stafford is able to stay upright for seventeen weeks, Rams are the team to beat. I thought they were the team to beat last year, but look, they had a glaring weakness and I love the fact that they were aggressive. You give up a lot, and I thought, well, Kansas City is getting rid of a twenty five year old defensive back. Now, somebody's gonna have to pay him, and he's gonna make twenty five million dollars a year probably. But the Rams looking at this and saying, maybe we have a two year window with Matthew Stafford, let's go get it again, And they certainly went out and did that. The fact that they're going from ten and a half to eleven and a half. No other team right now has a win total over under of eleven and a half. The Rams are the first team to get there. So that was yesterday. That was fun and a little bit surprising. But we'll talk some football. Your phone calls always welcome. Come up with a pole question as well. We have a baseball going on somewhere in the world with the World Baseball Well it is called the World Baseball Classic and USA versus Brazil on Friday. Plan Accordingly, Lou Holtz passed away yesterday. He was in hospice for a while, age eighty nine. And if you weren't around when he was at Notre Dame, you don't understand the magnitude of heat what he did, what the impact that he had on college football. He was one of the faces, one of the voices very entertaining, and he brought Notre Dame a national championship. But if you were ever around him, he was he was a guy who was going to entertain you. Had a lot of great stories and he loved to share those. But he was more than just Notre Dame's head coach. He coached a variety of places. And I don't think he's in the Hall of Fame. I you know, maybe check that, Paulie. I don't know if Lou Holtz is in the College Football Hall of Fame, which would surprise me, but somebody was talking about that to me yesterday.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: Yes, paul he was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in two thousand and eight.

00:06:28
Speaker 2: Oh good, okay, yeah, because I know Digger Phelps, Notre Dame basketball coach, is not in the Hall of Fame. Now that's the basketball Hall of Fame. But for Lou Holtz, he was, as PAULI said, a pisser like he wasn't afraid to give you an opinion, tweak you a little bit, yell at the officials, and you know, you start to look at Notre Dame football. They've had a lot of great coaches there. Nobody more as charismatic, as charismatic as Lou Holtz, but at age eighty nine he became a great analyst, a fun analyst. He was with Mark May with the Mothership. Rhese Davis. Reese tells a great story he played with Lou Holtz at Augusta. Lou was a member of Augusta, and I think when he was at South Carolina, part of his deal when he was coaching there is he got a membership to Augusta. And later in his life he couldn't really hit it very far. I don't know if he could ever hit it very far, but the fact that he took Rhese Davis Jay billis and I think Mark May to Augusta. And he told this story to Scott van Pelt last night. But the par three twelve he would lay up. Now, Yes, he would lay up on a hole that was one hundred and forty nine yards and what he would do is he'd hit it before it got to Rays Creek and then he would chip up, and you know, sometimes he would end up with a par. But he loved playing there, he loved bringing people there, and he would he would chip up and right before the creek. So he probably hit it one hundred and twenty yards and then he would chip it onto the green. On a part three, but Rhees Davis tells this story that Lou Holds won a bet with Mark May and he had just had neck surgery, Lou had and they were going to get a picture because Mark had to give him the money that he won on this bet, and Lou goes, hold on, hold on, hold on. He goes into the clubhouse, he gets his neck brace that he's supposed to be wearing, and he comes out for the picture. To make it even more like, how did you let a guy in a neck brace beat you in golf? Mark May? But that was Lou. He was always one step ahead, and at age of eighty nine, he lived a very very eventful life. Uh seeton.

00:08:56
Speaker 4: Let's poll question today. We got two of them here. We might as well start with Lou Holtz Bowl question. One of his most famous quotes, stand that you love is they put their pants on the same way that we do. So it got me to thinking, when you are putting your pants on left leg first, right leg first, are you not sure? I want to see if we all actually put our pants on the same way.

00:09:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, This was Lou's famous quote that he would say to his players, just to make it like, Hey, they put their pants on the same way we do. We can go out and beat these guys.

00:09:27
Speaker 4: So are you a left leg first or a right leg first? Are you not sure? I'm left leg? Say I'm right leg, and my right leg always goes in first.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I go left. Yeah, Paul, I'm a two and jump guy.

00:09:40
Speaker 3: I put both feet in simultaneously, pull and jump. It cuts off tons of time. It probably bought me an nextra year of I think you learned that.

00:09:48
Speaker 2: When you were four.

00:09:49
Speaker 5: If I'm not mistaken too, probably I do the edge of the bed two feet in, pull, jump and just snaps out there.

00:10:00
Speaker 3: Don't try it without parental supervision.

00:10:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a snack. I wouldn't jump.

00:10:04
Speaker 3: I used to be a left leg, right leg because right leg left leg. You're a maniac.

00:10:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be nervous though degree of difficulty, yes, Todd.

00:10:12
Speaker 6: I wonder how many.

00:10:13
Speaker 7: People like me anyway need to lean up against the wall or be in a seated position to put their pants down. It says a lot about your abs and I think your general core. Do you need to be like laying down or sitting or up against a wall.

00:10:25
Speaker 6: To put your pants on?

00:10:26
Speaker 2: How old are you?

00:10:27
Speaker 6: I am fifty six, okay.

00:10:29
Speaker 4: And you have to be seated to put your pants on.

00:10:31
Speaker 7: I prefer it's more comfortable me to be in a sitting position or on the bed or up against the wall, or just have some kind of fulcrum to help me get my pants on.

00:10:38
Speaker 2: Would you say, fum, I'm gonna I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, that's the first time folkrum has ever been used on even if.

00:10:47
Speaker 6: I'm using it right, But it just sounds like a cool word.

00:10:49
Speaker 3: Fulcrum is a pivot point or hinge?

00:10:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't.

00:10:53
Speaker 7: For me, just you know, just standing up and putting my pants, you know, I feel something in my lower back or my quad or something like that, or a hamstring.

00:11:00
Speaker 6: I like to kind of I need something to kind of lean on.

00:11:02
Speaker 2: How about you, Marvin?

00:11:05
Speaker 8: Right leg? Left leg?

00:11:06
Speaker 2: Okay? Anything else that we want to ponder with a pole? Question?

00:11:13
Speaker 4: Here to and jump and Todd needs a folk rum? This is this is producing way more than I could have ever propped up a little bit for the put it of the I like to live on the edge, ye here's one from here. It's one switching up topics a little bit. Here's one from Todd that's funny. This is the Miles Garrett Pole question. How many speeding tickets would you need to get in less than ten years to start slowing down? Three, five, seven, or at least nine?

00:11:39
Speaker 2: So he has nine speeding tickets in the last since twenty seventeen, I believe. So how do you keep your license? I know you just pay a fine, but don't you get points? Don't they don't you accumulate enough points that you get your license suspended? At least he's.

00:11:56
Speaker 7: Not in the public eye where no one's going to find out about it. Can just kind of like live under.

00:12:02
Speaker 4: I wonder how bad of a speeding ticket it has to be, Like if you're always you know, what is that saying like eight your great nine your mind or whatever. If you're always at like nine to ten miles an hour over where, it's really not that big of a deal. Or he's not it's a significant Oh yeah, he was clocked going ninety four in a seventy. That's excessive.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: He was clocked going one hundred in a sixty. That is excessive. Uh, let's see reckless.

00:12:32
Speaker 3: You might say he's a miles Garrett' speters.

00:12:35
Speaker 2: Miles per hour. Yeah, uh, sixty five in a forty five. That's too fast. Yeah, but don't you get points against you and your license and you get a certain number of points and then your license gets suspended.

00:12:49
Speaker 4: What do you think his insurance is. It's got to be astronomical.

00:12:54
Speaker 2: I hope he's bundling with Liberty mutual.

00:12:56
Speaker 3: Yes, reach out to him.

00:12:58
Speaker 2: Yes, what is the motivation?

00:13:00
Speaker 7: And you think for excessive speeding, you think it's cool. You're in a big rush.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: All the time.

00:13:03
Speaker 6: You like to feel.

00:13:04
Speaker 2: How about you tell me.

00:13:05
Speaker 7: No, no, I don't really speed much. I'm the one that gets in trouble because I'm going too slow in the left lane, so I have to defer to you guys.

00:13:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what are my options here?

00:13:13
Speaker 7: It's very cool to go fast. I like how it feels to be in a car that's going fast. I'm at a big rush. I'm very important, and I have to get somewhere as quickly as possible, even at the risk of injuring or killing other people on the road, because I have to just get there fast.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: I don't know what his motivation is I've never gotten a speeding ticket.

00:13:32
Speaker 4: You've never gotten a speeding ticket?

00:13:34
Speaker 2: No, yeah, Paul.

00:13:38
Speaker 3: I think with someone like Miles Garrett or anyone who has a sports car. I'm looking at his car. It's a three hundred thousand dollars sports car. It's meant to be driven fast, and it's not meant to be on normal roadways. There must be almost like a tick that says, I bought this car, I'm going to stretch it out, which it's wrong, but I think that's the motivation.

00:13:57
Speaker 2: And Shardoor Sanders maybe it's something about the Cleveland brown At. He kind of get out of there as fast as you can get it. Now it makes sense Shador was arrested. Well, he got to take it a couple of times, I think in his first year in Cleveland.

00:14:12
Speaker 7: Yes, if you're not showing off, then why could you just he's got the money rent some time on a racetrack. If you feel a need to go really fast and circle so you're not putting other people in danger, and how much it cost to go to the Daytona or wherever you have to go, just do that, unless again, you want to show off your car and how fast you can drive.

00:14:28
Speaker 6: Then that's a whole other story. Yeah, I said it. Look at me and look at my fat's expensive car and how fast a driver? Okay, I dare you to pull me over on Miles Garrett.

00:14:38
Speaker 2: If Miles Garrett came on the show, I would say that to him.

00:14:41
Speaker 7: You would, Yeah, only because you're putting other people's lives in danger because you have to drive your expensive car fast.

00:14:47
Speaker 2: Well those are you know when you go a hundie in a sixty on the highway. Okay, I mean that that to me. I got to take away your license, I would think. But I, once again, I grew up in Ohio, but I don't know what the laws are anymore with what happens when you get a speeding ticket. I thought that that counted as points, and if you got to a certain number of points, then they took away your license, or at least I remember that happening to a couple of my friends who might have been drinking and driving as well.

00:15:20
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, I'm on the Ohio DMV website, of course, Dan, and they do have a points system, and if you go over twelve points for various infractions in a two year period, you get a six month suspended license.

00:15:33
Speaker 2: So apparently, but if you get caught speeding it in Ohio, does that are those points that go on your license?

00:15:41
Speaker 3: It also says if you have fifteen plus sex and our defensive player of the year, all rules are waived. It's in the fine print.

00:15:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they still they give him a ticket. It's not like they let him go. Yeah, I mean you still have to pay a fine. He doesn't have to go to court. I don't think in there like a mile per hour margin where you go. I think you're gonna have to go see the judge for that one. Definitely right. You don't want to get a speeding ticket where they're like okay, and so your car stays here and you're coming with us. Yeah, that's a very bad speeding ticket. One you do not want. But forty miles an hour over the speed limit excessive? Yes, all right, Well come up with the poll question. Your phone calls are always welcome eight seven seven to three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at Dpshow we hear from Aaron Rodgers a little bit later on about his future.

00:17:31
Speaker 2: People want to know about the team building lunch that we had yesterday, all you can eat sushi and at the very end of the meal, Todd goes to the bathroom and Eric the big German, pays the check. But we wanted to give the impression to Todd that he was being left with a check when he came out of the bathroom. How surprised were you when you came out and nobody was there?

00:17:56
Speaker 7: I was very surprised that I started profusely sweating six different types of sushi, because I know that's about forty forty five dollars a pop, and there was about a dozen of us, so do the math. A few people had beverages, and I'm like, this is gonna be like six seven hundred dollars. Would everybody go the better be? And I opened up the figure there better be a credit card in there. When I opened up the little booklet to see, yeah, they were okay, and there wasn't a credit card in there.

00:18:18
Speaker 2: We had already paid.

00:18:19
Speaker 6: I wasn't aware of that, and I'm like, I can't believe these guys.

00:18:22
Speaker 7: And then with my arms, which are only a quarter inch shorter than yours, I still had trouble reaching to my wallet to see.

00:18:27
Speaker 6: If I had to really figure this.

00:18:28
Speaker 2: Out, would you have left the restaurant without paying?

00:18:33
Speaker 6: I walked out of.

00:18:33
Speaker 8: The restaurant'm looking around to see whoeveryone was, and I wasn't a tended.

00:18:36
Speaker 6: I think I just dined and dashed. If everybody left.

00:18:39
Speaker 8: No one's gonna pay for this thing.

00:18:40
Speaker 2: And you were the one that didn't want to go. You were like told to go, and you go. It's not optional.

00:18:45
Speaker 7: I thought it was a mandatory. But I ended up having a good time and I had Chalkolt ice cream. But now I scream of fried Oreo cookie, sushi, terryaki chicken.

00:18:52
Speaker 6: I went to town.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: You had four desserts.

00:18:55
Speaker 6: I was not shy about that. Then Mario had the golf from the other side of me, cause I have one of you.

00:18:59
Speaker 8: I said, there's only two on the plate of the Friday Oria cooks.

00:19:02
Speaker 6: You're having fifty percent of my dessert.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: Here, Yes, Paul.

00:19:04
Speaker 3: We ordered shared desserts, which is a little odd. It's because they had these fried Oreo cookies and they came like three to a little plate, you know, and we were sharing them, and Todd had his own. He was hoarding a little bit. Mario asked for one and it was not looked up.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: Favorite Todd.

00:19:20
Speaker 7: It was a team building, I know, but it was like three sections. It was one big table, but it was like three groups of four. And I asked the guys in my little group of four, are you guys having any dessert, and they said no, and I proceeded to, you know, fill out the form vanilla ice cream, yes, jol asking me yes, Friday Oreo cookies, and it all came so I assume this is all for me. Everyone didn't want it, at least in my section. Then Marrio all the way to the other did the table cause I have one of those fried Oreo cookies.

00:19:43
Speaker 2: Once again, it was a team building.

00:19:46
Speaker 6: I want to come to dessert. There's no team.

00:19:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, Marvin so Fritzi is selfish and negative.

00:19:53
Speaker 3: There's no eye in dessert.

00:19:55
Speaker 7: I was seriously on my way to my car going like, I can't believe no one paid the checker.

00:19:59
Speaker 8: We just could all to eating six seven hundred dollars worth of fruit.

00:20:01
Speaker 6: We're just gonna leave here.

00:20:03
Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls in here settle on a pole question uh more on the Raiders with the Max Crosby situation. Mike Silver with the athletic he had a long column, a deep dive on the Raiders, and he's like, you know, hey, this is gonna happen. Max Crosby's not playing for the Raiders, and now just get it over with. You know the thing I don't understand is what the Bengals did with Trey Hendrickson because they franchised him and then you know, he played, but he didn't play well this past year. Joe Burrow gets hurt and you get to the trade deadline and I'm thinking, now you trade, trade Trey Hendrickson. They didn't, and so now he's a free agent. They got nothing out of that, and at least trade him during the season and get something instead. They got nothing for Trey Hendrickson. Kind of surprised with whatever logic the Bengals. They can't have logic on this because the season was over. Now. Granted Joe came back and there was the possibility, but trade didn't play very well, but you could have. And you know, there was so much drama leading up to that. I don't know how healthy or ready he was for the season, and at the trade deadline, I gotta get something, Yeah, Paul.

00:21:29
Speaker 3: As long as we're talking about things that bother us, I don't think this is great at all for the Chiefs. They got one draft, big draft pick back, but it's towards the end of the first round, the twenty ninth in the Rams. Trent McDuffie is a All Pro or second team All Pro defensive back. You wish to get guys like that on their team. You're in Mahomes prime. You don't give this guy another contract and lock him up for Mahomes Prime.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they didn't get just one draft pick. No, they got others.

00:21:57
Speaker 3: But I don't know they're going to have to replace him, and he seems somewhat irreplaceable at twenty five years old, All Pro.

00:22:04
Speaker 2: They got holes now. Granted, you know you're going to say, well, you got to fill that hole now too, But how many draft picks do they get? Like four draft picks? And they got another first round pick this year, and the Rams don't care about first round picks. What is it, nine out of the last ten years they've traded nine of ten Jared versus the guy they kept right and that turned out to be a great draft pick. But the Rams are like, hey, we'll trade them. We don't care. But for the Chiefs, it felt like I was surprised from the standpoint of Vegas says ten and a half wins over under for the Chiefs, and I'm thinking, I don't know if Mahomes is going to be ready to go if Kelsey comes back, who cares like I have, you know, not quite sure. Like if I'm a Chiefs fan, I don't think we're better today, But then this is a team that is pretty good at finding some talent. Uh you know, maybe maybe Jeremiah Love falls in your lap. That would be a big upgrade. But yeah, I think that they There's a few more holes that they have to fill, but they did just create a pretty large one with Trent McDuffie. Ben and Milwaukee. Good morning Ben, what's on your mind today?

00:23:25
Speaker 11: Good morning Dan? And Dan at Chuckle at the Miles Garrett I was joining as Cleveland play in Europe next year. Just take a extra day and go to the autubn and he can ride his heart at.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: I like that. Can we check the Browns schedule? Do they play in London next year or some other place. I've been on the autobon before and it's wild because you just have cars that, like these BMW's had just come up on you and you're not todd they you would not do well on the Audubon.

00:23:56
Speaker 6: I don't like that.

00:23:58
Speaker 2: Just stay in the right lane, yeah, because they come up on you and they are flying and these cars are they are built for the Autobahn. Kurt in Wisconsin. Hi Kurt, what's on your mind?

00:24:12
Speaker 12: Hey? Thanks for taking my call. Second time, long time five to nine, hard one seventy five. I got to do it a shout out to you Dan and your incident the other day. I think you saved my house from burning down. I'm gonna set the story. My wife had a colonoscopede done here yesterday, and she was doing the prep solution the night before and she was in the bathroom and it got so bad in there. I told her to open the window and write some incense. Well I go in there and she's got the incense burning and all the old sticks and stuff, and with the methane that was in there. It was an accidental waiting to happen. So I just wanted to thank you for for a lot of good can come out of bad. So puddos to you guys.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Kurt. Probably too much information there throwing your wife under the bus. Yes, Paul, however, you may have saved a lot. I yes, I did. Ye put it on the yes.

00:25:20
Speaker 4: That meant suggesting that the atmosphere surrounding the bathroom after his wife had used it. Should someone have lit a match, it would have caused an explosion.

00:25:30
Speaker 2: Methane?

00:25:31
Speaker 4: Is that what we were just hearing right there?

00:25:34
Speaker 2: I think what he was saying is his wife was burning incense and it burned down, just like my accident, my fire that raged out of control.

00:25:45
Speaker 4: Here the word methane used, which made me concerned that perhaps there was no you light your fart on fire when you're a teenager.

00:25:52
Speaker 2: That's well, thank you, Kurt, thank you. Uh the brown good luck with this one. The Browns.

00:26:07
Speaker 3: Unintentional, unintentional Segway kill, Sea kill, Classic Radio Segway kill.

00:26:17
Speaker 4: Penalty kill or whatever.

00:26:22
Speaker 2: The Cleveland Browns. They play the Saints in Paris, So I don't know how far. You know, if you take the chunnel, then maybe you could go into the autumn. Send that Emmy over. We're gonna win it this year. They're gonna have to give it to us. There is going to be approach. There will be people outside in New York with signs protesting if we don't win the Sports Emmy this year. And I'm not encouraging this behavior, but I welcome it. I'm not discouraging, yes, Marta.

00:27:00
Speaker 8: So that's the basically Brg's holding up side.

00:27:03
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's not beneath me to hire people to protest on our behalf. Uh. Let's see Tommy and Albany. Good morning, Tommy, how are you?

00:27:16
Speaker 12: Longtime listener?

00:27:18
Speaker 13: First time callers six one two twenty five. I got to thinking about your low Holtz pants scenario, and it got me thinking that skateboarding and snowboarding it's all about what foot you put forward when either kicking a soccer ball or walking upstairs or riding a skateboard or snowboard, and it would be referred to as goofy irregular. Yeah, so if you put your right foot in first, you'd be goofy. So I think we may have stumbled upon how people put their pants on. Are you goofy or are you regular?

00:27:55
Speaker 2: I am goofy?

00:27:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, see say, but I would be the exact opposite because I've I had regular, but put my right foot in first, so right foot would be goofy. But I actually snowboard regular.

00:28:07
Speaker 2: I've only tried to snowboard once and I remember locking in my left leg with my knee and I went, nope.

00:28:14
Speaker 4: Nope, that's it, that's it.

00:28:16
Speaker 2: And then my son goes, well, just just go down the hill. I go, No, just go down this little hill here, I go. All right, we'll go down a little oil. Went down a little hill of about you know, twenty five feet. Got took off this snowboard right away. I'm like, I'm done. I'm going snowshoeing, yes, Pauline.

00:28:36
Speaker 3: But and falling on a snowboard, it's with you. You fall like back.

00:28:40
Speaker 6: It's a skate.

00:28:41
Speaker 3: Skiing is more like a catastrophe. Stuff flies all over, nothing flies off you when you're snowboarding.

00:28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not interested in doing either. Yeah, but then you see these little kids. You know, we'd put our kids on skis when they'd be like three or four, and they just zoom down the mountain. You know, you get that low center or gravity and they'd be like zoom, zoom, And then you know you'd have to do a pizza, you know, with your your skis or French fries or whatever it's called. You got it, Yeah, I got Yeah. I might have been there for some of those moments with my kids. Yes, Todd, is it.

00:29:16
Speaker 7: Considered skiing if you put the equipment on and just kind of walk around it and you don't actually go sliding down, just to get a feel for what it feels like. Look on my high school trip, high school senior trip, we went skiing and I I tried, I put everything on, and then I just kind of walked around in them for a few minutes, and then I went back inside and set by the fireplace and had hot chocolate.

00:29:35
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:29:35
Speaker 2: Drew in Cincinnati. I Drew, I saw what you did, then you brought it back to you.

00:29:42
Speaker 7: What all you kind of sharing snow shirted ski experiences?

00:29:47
Speaker 2: Drew very dismissing the Browns. Drew in Cincinnati.

00:29:54
Speaker 14: Hi Drew, Hey, damn five eleven two five first time a long time. So, according to Rappaport, last year, the Bengals were only offered a fourth round pick for Trey and the Bengals steps.

00:30:12
Speaker 4: Was too low.

00:30:14
Speaker 14: Also, if they let him walk like they did next year, they'd get a comp If they don't sign someone a similar value at the same position, they would get in twenty twenty seven a third round pick. So I don't know if this pat is well he stopped or let him walk?

00:30:35
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I mean I thought they were gonna trade him. And at the time, if you could only get a fourth round pick. I mean, I'm surprised at that, but this was a team that you if you were competitive, you would have kept him. But you weren't a competitive team and you just lost Joe Burrow. I would have thought that you could have gotten something for him, and now you get a compensatory pick. Thank you for updating that. Drew ken in Connecticut, Hi Keny.

00:31:09
Speaker 11: Good morning, Dan.

00:31:09
Speaker 15: Dan s sixty hard one ninety five hard.

00:31:15
Speaker 2: Two quick things.

00:31:16
Speaker 15: When I first got my license, I got two speeding tickets within a year period, and after the second ticket, I had to go to what was called at the time driver retraining and that was easily the most boring, excruciating six hours of my life, having to relearn the.

00:31:32
Speaker 11: Rules of the road.

00:31:33
Speaker 15: So needless to say, I've never gone over sixty seven miles an hour on the highway again. And secondarily, I love the bed and breakfast idea that you had the other day. Living here in Connecticut, I was wondering until that happens, do you guys offer tours of the man Cave or is that something you would consider?

00:31:48
Speaker 2: No, we don't offer insurance reasons. No. We've been asking no, because if you open it up and you know, no, that wouldn't go well, be like, wait a minute. There was a time where one person who was working here, he brought his wife. I didn't know a that he had a wife. I didn't know who she was. And I'm come into the man cave and I see a woman coming out of the bathroom and I go, what is going on here? What turns out big German's brother Jay brought his wife to the man cave and I'm like, what do we what's going on here? Is this MVB R GJ. Yes, yes, yes, but this was a while ago. This was like a year ago before he became the most valuable back room guy. Yes, Marton, I.

00:32:45
Speaker 8: Think it was even further because I wasn't a Dan. That's how long ago?

00:32:48
Speaker 2: So it's over three years?

00:32:49
Speaker 10: Yeah, and your face because you guys are doing a photo shoot and she walks out of the bathroom in your face and you said something, who does sleep?

00:33:00
Speaker 13: Is this?

00:33:01
Speaker 2: Like?

00:33:02
Speaker 8: Oh, that's missus guy?

00:33:03
Speaker 2: And then I go, what is is this? Conjugal visits here? Like what's going on here? And he still never introduced me to his wife.

00:33:13
Speaker 1: Never.

00:33:14
Speaker 2: No. At the Christmas party this year, he introduced me to his wife. I said, well, I saw you in the man cave a couple of years ago. I can't. I can't leave this environment. You know. Maybe I'm going to sign up for another couple of years. Yeah, now, how about we take a break?

00:33:45
Speaker 8: What you know, how excited you just made America just now?

00:33:48
Speaker 2: I know? I know.

00:33:49
Speaker 8: But two more years?

00:33:50
Speaker 2: You said it, Yeah, I have two more years super Bowl thirty. No, I have two more years.

00:33:56
Speaker 4: It gonna be two more years of you pump faking people like, yeah, yeah, that's.

00:33:59
Speaker 2: A twenty three months.

00:34:01
Speaker 14: I don't know.

00:34:44
Speaker 2: Charlotte up by fourteen courtesy of the Hornets Radio Network. My Hornets are now above five hundred for the first time since October. They only had five turnovers, they never trailed, biggest margin of victory over the celt franchise history as they rough up the Celtics on the road. They're fun to watch. I don't know how threatening they're going to be. I think they're a nine seed. It's early for my Hornets, but they're fun. They are fun to watch. And of course you can't think about the Hornets and not think about the nineties when Larry Johnson was their grandmama and those teal starter jackets.

00:35:26
Speaker 8: Yes, Marvin, those starter jackets.

00:35:29
Speaker 10: Teal was a cheat code in the nineties, like whenever a new franchise came around. Yeah, the Marlins, the Diamondbacks, the Pistols, chaser uniforms, they went teal. It was a cheek code at that point, all starting with the Charlotte Hornets for sure.

00:35:42
Speaker 2: I know, I know, all we else fails. Throw in some Teal play of the day brought to you by Dude Dude Wipes switched to life Changing Wet extra large flushable Dude Wipes because wetter is better available Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Best clean pants Down Austin in Louisiana speaking of pants down or up?

00:36:09
Speaker 17: Hey what FDP Thanks called me back, yep. So you know I got plenty of sports takes, Dan, I've called in before, but you know I heard something on your show earlier today that a grown man, you know, forty five years of age, give or take a few years, Paul Papps said he jumps into his pants every morning. Now, Dan, this is something that the IT Team really needs to really needs to get down on. So I'm gonna request that the I Team gets on this and we see video evidence of this PAULI pants jump at some point today because now now we can make a family friendly you know, it doesn't have to you know, be anything you know, privacy for Paul. But Dan, this type of psychotic behavior is the exact reason that the IT Team was created. So I'm going to leave it up to you, but I think the viewers would like to see this in a okay, you know, in a commercial break at some point to day, or you know, maybe make Dylan do it. Maybe Polly can you know, show Dylan how it does the pants jump but we're gonna, We're really going to see this, so I'm gonna hang up and watch Dan.

00:37:12
Speaker 2: Thanks, okay, all right, thank you Austin. A lot of people I'm not quite sure what to make of you jumping into your pants each morning as opposed to out of them.

00:37:19
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a lean back on the bed, two feet in rock back, jump up, pull secure like that carries strug landing.

00:37:30
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you land, you landed land the years up.

00:37:34
Speaker 11: Okay.

00:37:35
Speaker 2: Uh. Part of the problem is Paully leads the ITAM. In fact, he's the only member of the IT conflective interest. Yes, but uh if we can somehow recreate Paulli jumping into his pants in the morning, and we'll certainly try to do that, peaked. Yes, Chris and Syracuse, Hi Chris.

00:37:57
Speaker 18: Hey, thanks Dany, I got two things for you. It's now Mark and Aaron Rodgers is still keeping the NFL and mainly the Steelers guessing on his future. He's so cryptic when it comes to his professional and personal life. And whoever gets that first picture of Aaron Rodgers and his mystery bribe, that may be an even bigger story than where he ends up next Fall and I loved when Lou Holtz first kings Notre Dame. He had the players named for moved from their jerseys, giving the fighting Irish and New York Yankee feel. And even though the Irish haven't won a title since nineteen eighty eight, thanks in big part to Lou Holtz, they still have that New York Yankee feel.

00:38:34
Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris. Yeah, I didn't remember them having their names on the back of their jerseys at Notre Dame. Yeah, I don't remember that, but I do know when Lou got there. Lou wanted to make sure. This is when they were labeling kids prop forty eight, and it was unfortunate that you were labeled Prop forty eight because then everybody viewed you as somebody who was smart. But he got Tony Rice in. He was asking and and Jerome Bettis would tell me this, so I'm not speaking out of school, but he wanted he had to get two players that probably wouldn't normally get into Notre Dame. And one of those players turned out to be Tony Rice, who's a wonderful person and turned out to be the ideal quarterback for Lou Holtz in winning a national championship. But he he wanted and then when urban Meyer was leaving Utah, he wanted to go to Notre Dame and Jerome Bettis told me this story. He said, I want the same thing that Lou Holts had. I want to be able to get in a couple of players that probably wouldn't be able to get in because of your academic standards. They said, no, urban Meyer kept going to Florida, and we know what happened there. Uh, Lucas in Texas, Hi Lucas, what's on your mind? Hey Dan, good morning, good morning. Two things for you. Number One, hear about Lou Holtz dying.

00:40:00
Speaker 16: You know, I started watching college football seriously in the nineties, and I feel like I kind of missed him at his peak, obviously at Notre Dame. It just feels like the end, like he represents a certain kind of golden age for college football where you know, getting a New Year's Day Bowl, mental miant something. It just felt like he represented kind of an age where college football still had this weight before it turned into this you know, super TV ready product that everyone can have all the time. And number two, man, this is pertinent because I'm driving out on the road right now, you guys were talking about your approach to speed limits. I just saw a person get pulled over for speeding well twenty five miles an hour over the speed limit. My approach, I go right at the speed limit, set my cruise and forget about it. But I feel like you can learn a lot about people by their approach to the speed limit. So for you and the guys, you see seventy miles an hour on the speed what is your what are you setting your cruise control.

00:40:51
Speaker 2: At seventy nine? If it's seventy then I might go to seventy nine seventy eight. But once again, I've never had a speeding ticket. I was pulled over once and the police officer said, or the trooper said, uh, where are you going? You're in a hurry. And then I told him where I was going and I was in a hurry, and then he let me go. I didn't play the don't you know who I am? I mean, I was willing to yesney.

00:41:21
Speaker 8: He said slow down, slow down.

00:41:23
Speaker 6: So you knew he knew who you were.

00:41:26
Speaker 2: What's at the sport out? That was and good
