00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Our two on.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: This Wednesday, Dan and the Danets Dan Patrick Show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock. That's our streaming partner. Download the app if you haven't done so, and we say good morning to our radio affiliate's iHeartRadio. Fox Sports Radio Merchandise Store open for business. Danpatrick dot Com stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Coming up this Sunday, we'll do a streaming party again. It'll be Shan Irving and myself, maybe some other dan Nets. Marvin came by, Pauly came by, and we won't stream it live when we're watching the Cowboys against the Packers, but it'll be almost live because I can't trust Shane Irving. And I'm reaching out to Nick Wright because he called me the last time we did this wanting to be part of the broadcast. Marvin, you might have to go pick up Nick Wright down in New York City.

00:00:56
Speaker 3: I'll be there all right.

00:00:57
Speaker 2: But we'll have a streaming party. More details as you can watch us watch the Cowboys and the Packers eight seven seven three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. We talked about a lot of baseball, the automatic or automated balls and strikes. It's called ABS, but they keep calling it robo umps, which to me is a terrible name because it conjures up you know, artificial beings out there, machines are taking over baseball. Well, they're taking away jobs. Now, you're still gonna have umpires out there. You'll just have a big eye in the sky that's going to make sure that they get the calls correctly. It'll be automated, just like it is in tennis. So they're going to that in twenty twenty six, by the way, just a little bit. But then they're going to go all in. Oklahoma State fires Mike Gundy. When Paulie and I were watching that game, Paulie said he'd think Mike Gundy would make it until Monday. He did, but he didn't make it till Tuesday.

00:02:06
Speaker 4: Yes, paul Monday was buy out negotiation day.

00:02:09
Speaker 3: They kicked it one more day.

00:02:12
Speaker 2: The Giants are going with Jackson Dart. We had Booger McFarlane on last Hour and he's like, why do we pick when a quarterback is going to start. Just get him out there, whether it's at a home against the Chargers or on the road the following week against the Saints. I understand the play to a home crowd that's going to be on your side as opposed to going to New Orleans. Now, if you don't beat the Chargers, who are undefeated, you know, maybe expectation levels won't be too high for him in that game. Whereas if you go to New Orleans and don't win, then all of a sudden, it's like, uh oh, maybe we're doomed this year. I think Jackson Dart can play the position. I said that last year. I was told by my source who's a scout he had a first round grade on him, and I saw enough of him at Old Miss with Lane k and with that offense going through the SEC. I think he's sneaky, athletic, and he's got a personality to him. Do I think he's the savior? I don't, because you really got to figure out the offensive line, do you have a running game. You got to keep Malik Neighbors happy. You know, he's one of those that he's always open, and even when he's not open, he thinks he's open and he wants to let you. His body language sometimes is terrible. You know, it just feels selfish. And you know it's not like Russell Wilson's not trying to get him the ball. In fact, maybe too much. You know, this goes back to Baker Mayfield with OBJ. You're trying to keep those guys happy. It's not always in the best interest of the team to try to keep those guys happy. But Milik Neighbors is a wonderful receiver and Jackson Dart will probably go to him, probably more than any other receiver, and rightfully so. But you're going against the Chargers and that's a really good defense. Seaton Poll question for hour two.

00:04:08
Speaker 5: Hour two we're putting up on here from Paulie who had the worst day yesterday, Mike Gundy, Russell Wilson, John Mattier or aj Hinch ooh, aj Hinch the Tigers managed. That's not great.

00:04:21
Speaker 2: Great season, or at least it was, and now it's hanging in the balance there with the Guardians and Tigers tied to top the American League.

00:04:28
Speaker 5: Central gets.

00:04:33
Speaker 2: To get the escalator going up and down. You have to have one side win nine to ten and then the Tigers losing nine of ten, and that's why we have a tie at the top of the American League Central. So the same guy who did miracles last year with this team and now all of a sudden you have a big time collapse here.

00:04:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauli, the Tigers were up eleven games three weeks ago. That's almost hard to do mathematically.

00:04:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is hard to do. Actually, yeah, that is that is difficult to do.

00:05:02
Speaker 2: All right, So that's the our two pole question.

00:05:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is that's what we're going with for hour or two hour one. We had up there robots in baseball umps or chumps. Right now, sixty seven percent of the audience have them as umps real empires.

00:05:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm for change. People are ready. Yeah, you know, if they get the calls right, and that's what you want. It's interesting how we pick and choose with you know, it's kind of the nuance of the game. You know, sometimes you got a friendly strike zoner, you don't you know that referee always favors that team and doesn't like our team. He calls a lot of pass interference and that guy always calls holding. You want, I think we want consistency players will tell you, hey, if you're going to call a strike, is it going to be a strike in the first inning and in the seventh inning, in the ninth inning? That's all they want. Hey, if I'm going to be holding on or making contact with a wide receiver, are you calling that? Are you going to call that in the first quarter not the fourth or you know, vice versa. That's all you want, And as a viewer, that's all we want. You know, Tennis is doing this. They get the calls right, Nobody complaining about that. They do automated They're getting the call right now. Tennis isn't you know, at the forefront of our viewing patterns. But I like the simplicity of it. It's like, okay, it's either in or out there you go. You have cameras, the way they're positioned, they're going to get the calls right. And in that sport where those players tend to complain a lot, they don't. They can't complain about this. It's right there in front of him. And hopefully with baseball now, the problem I have with the automated balls and strikes is the height of the strike zone, Like how high? Remember it used to be the armpits and your knees like growing up. I mean, that's why I'm batt in two thirty eight like that pitches up high. Now you know it's a little bit lower. But I think trying to get that because obviously everybody is different when they go to the plate. Altuovey and Aaron judge different strike zone, and as long as they can be fair to the size of the hitter, then okay, I'm fine with that. You should be able to get it going over the plate. Is it over the plate? Is it on the edge on the black? But then how high is high or too high? And how low is too low? Those would be my questions with the automated balls and strikes, Yes, Paul.

00:07:32
Speaker 6: According to MLB dot com, like the plate, the automated strike zone is seventeen inches wide. The top end of the zone is fifty three point five percent of the player's height and the bottom is at twenty seven percent of the player's height. So it appears that it adjusts by the height of the player that's up to bed.

00:07:49
Speaker 3: It appears that.

00:07:50
Speaker 2: Way, it adjusts to the player's size.

00:07:55
Speaker 6: Yes, but it also says here that they use a compilation of the height of people in Major League base Well, currently what the average it is to build the strike zone. So it's unclear if it if al two bays is the same as judges, it's unclear right now.

00:08:07
Speaker 2: Well it can't be yeah, now, no you can't. I mean that'd be silly because it'd be over uh, well Maya's head. You know, the a strike.

00:08:20
Speaker 6: But should it be fixed because the pitchers you don't have to adjust by the players. Should they pitch to a spot?

00:08:26
Speaker 2: Well, what is the strike zone? That's what they have to decide. The strike zone has to adjust in accordance to who the hitter is. So as long as they can adjust to that, then you know, I'm fine with it. I just don't want it to be like man, that pitch was around now two Vay's head and they called her to strike. As long as you know, this is what baseball players want. You go to the plate. You know what is going to be a strike and what is going to be a ball. This guy favors lower, this guy favors you know, higher strikes. Now you don't have that. Now, it's just this is the strike zone and they don't have any jurisdiction over that. Not the umpire that you know, the eye in the sky does yes, yeah, like I you know, I feel like you just said that backwards. Now you know exactly what the strike zone is. Before you didn't, Yeah right, yeah, so like yeah right, you didn't know if if a guy felt like calling it that day, maybe he would call those low balls.

00:09:25
Speaker 5: But today I don't feel like it. So today I don't feel like calling it on the corner man. Now you know exactly what it is.

00:09:31
Speaker 2: But I remember talking to Tom Glavin about this, and he admitted that he and Maddox got calls that they would give them around the plate. Wade Boggs talked about this, that he would get called him, and Tony Gwynn told me that he said, he goes, I know there are times when I would take a pitch it's a strike, but the umpire would call it a ball because I took that pitch. You just you remove that. Now, that's all. Now we get rid of those personalities behind home plate, because those umpires can be certainly full of themselves that they think you are coming to see them. Come on, kids, let's go see Joe West. All right, thanks dad, Hey, ken Kaiser's gonna be there, all right, who has it better than we do? Nobody?

00:10:21
Speaker 4: Hey, yes, Todd, you have to account for a height like even in literally it was always shoulders to the kneecaps. And even if you change it a little bit, you know, a strike zone for Al Tuovea and Aaron Judge. You know, however, they want to do it across the middle, but you know, vertically, there's no way you can have the same strike zone for someone that's two feet tall than someone.

00:10:38
Speaker 6: Else, Thank Todd, Yes, Paul, Yeah, it appears that going to spring training they're going to measure every position player's height to see what it is and then use the model that way.

00:10:47
Speaker 2: It does say this.

00:10:49
Speaker 6: They did some research and the umpire zone of the past ten years has been more lenient to pitchers, and the average strike was in his zone strikes on a four hundred and forty nine square inches. The new ABS zone will be four on forty three scranches. So the strike zone should be tighter going forward.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: Just call it, have a universal strike zone. I don't need your damn personality in the game. You know, I'm a little pitcher friendly. I'm going to give you that co I like to call a low strike what is a strike and what is the ball? That's all we've We've let them get. It's just like the guy in the batter's box. I'm gonna step out, step back in, step back, and step back in. We allowed that, and then all of a sudden we were like, uh, Jeff, step out every pitch. Yes, Martin, you.

00:11:38
Speaker 3: Don't want more kids dressed like umpires at games?

00:11:41
Speaker 2: No, No, don't need that. Robots. I guess who came up with the robots here? Because it's not a robot. I got to talk to the commissioner. They need something better than this robots.

00:11:57
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:11:58
Speaker 2: Curtis in Illinois. High Curtis on your mind today, Mary, DP.

00:12:03
Speaker 8: First off, as much as I like the idea of the MLB getting all of the calls right, I don't know what my Facebook seed will look like for baseball videos without batters and managers losing their mind all the time. Also, as much as you've been getting all your love for your interviews that you do, I think you'll post DP show. I guess Pseudo Career should be like a weekly podcast with the other dan Nettes that's unfiltered, kind of like DP takes a gamble. I think all of us die hard DP fans.

00:12:35
Speaker 2: We kind of love a non PG version of you guys.

00:12:38
Speaker 8: They want to help wean us off of the show every day.

00:12:42
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, Curtis. I'll take that under consideration. That gambling podcast that gets loose, that's every Thursday, we take that with bad Larry Shay and Irving Dylan. The graphics gone, yes, marmon.

00:12:57
Speaker 3: It's that every single week a DP want me to take anything out?

00:13:02
Speaker 2: Yes, And every single week I ask you to take something out every single week, I'll go bad. Larry can't say that. Shay can't say that. We shouldn't say that. Yes, Paul, I did.

00:13:15
Speaker 6: Some research on this strike zone thing. When we're watching TV and ESPN or Fox whatever it is, and they have that box strike zone on your screen, the TV networks do not adjust it based off the player's heights. So that's another thing that will have to be changed, because the box you see on the TV is the same for Altuve and Judge and all the other players.

00:13:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why you can't go with that. Even the camera that's not exactly behind, you know, center field, behind the pitcher, it's not it's off to the right. Therefore, you know, it's a little bit of an optical illusion with the plate. Jeremy and Alabama. Hi, Jeremy, what's on your mind?

00:13:52
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:13:53
Speaker 9: That six to I look like a toothpick with a olive down the middle of it. Two hundred. I have an idea that you can also throw to the commissioner if you like it. I think it's a good idea. It might help out your hatred for the runner on second. If you take the side that you don't want to have any outs to begin the inning, then you don't put a runner on base. If you want one out, then you get to put your runner at second, and if you go two outs, you get your runner at third.

00:14:24
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I can't. I can't. I can't, Jeremy. Every sport adds I want to subtract. The NFL is famous for, Hey, we got a rule, all right, we're going to add this to the rule, and then add this to the rule instead of just simplifying it. I can't do it. No, we can't do one out, second base, two ounce third base. How about we just play baseball? Yeah, Paul, It's funny.

00:14:53
Speaker 6: Over the years, when I'm watching soccer or watching rugby, sona goal. I don't understand it. It's confusing. I don't understand the rules. They don't have that many rules. Like soccer has like four rules during a match, Rugby has like three. There's very few rules involved. But look at what the NFL did with the catch. I mean silly. I complete the process?

00:15:13
Speaker 5: You have to establish when you caught the ball. Go back to that Calvin Johnson touchdown in the game. You know that Calvin Johnson play that changed everything. He got up to celebrate. Now, did he complete the process?

00:15:28
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, Yes he did. It's a touchdown. Well, complete the process? Did the ground cause of fumble? I don't know why is it. We can play in the backyard and we can play you know, pick up football and you don't have to have all those rules. Did he catch it two feet in bounds? Complete the process? All right, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. Dan Hurley with his memoir coming up in an hour.

00:16:00
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:16:01
Speaker 5: See it sounds like you're arguing for more human element in football but wanted out of baseball.

00:16:07
Speaker 2: No, I just want him to simplify what we see. Now.

00:16:12
Speaker 5: If you want to put more, you put an eye in the sky for that, I'm fine.

00:16:16
Speaker 2: How do you figure out what is a catch? I don't know. But for all of those different you know, decades that I watched football, I don't remember that being is that a catch or not a catch? We just like, I can't remember that where he'd be like, uh, I don't know. Did did he catch that ball?

00:16:36
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:16:37
Speaker 4: No?

00:16:37
Speaker 2: Did he complete the process? Both feed and simplified NFL Simplified Take a break back after.

00:16:49
Speaker 1: This, be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

00:16:59
Speaker 10: Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we never have enough time to get to everything we want to get to.

00:17:08
Speaker 11: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly, because this guy is over promising things we never have time for.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blubber Lisa and me.

00:17:22
Speaker 10: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should be good at it because you've been over promising women for years.

00:17:26
Speaker 11: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want you to be a part of it. We're gonna be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue on our after show called over Promised.

00:17:40
Speaker 2: Well, if you don't get enough.

00:17:41
Speaker 10: Covino and Rich, make sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.

00:17:50
Speaker 11: There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:18:02
Speaker 2: I mentioned this a couple of years ago, and I was serious when I brought it up. I had a moment where I'm driving to work, somebody's at a light and I think they're on their phone, and then I just want to tap the horn just as a friendly hey, but it came off as a instead of a I'd like to have maybe a half honk, like just a that says hey, uh, you know pay attention. Here we go instead of a and then all of a sudden, I get a finger out the window. Somebody flips me off because I'm honking at them, and you should get two and a half seconds before it's I have to honk. It's all. It's just small thing. But I don't know, if you know, maybe Elon Musk with his you know, next car invention could have the friendly honk in there the instead of yes, tod, especially if.

00:18:59
Speaker 4: You're familiar with that particular light and stays green for three seconds and then it's red for like seven and a half minute, and this guy at the last second he goes through when he finally wakes up to go, and now you're stuck there.

00:19:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I start my morning getting flipped off, and then I'm like, really, you're the one that was on your phone at the light. The arrow is pointing left, and then I just went yes, Paul.

00:19:25
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:19:25
Speaker 6: The half honk is tough to pull off because like my truck has a full horn and I try to do the little tap the fist on it to get that little bunk, but I have to do like three or four times, and some of that I don't complete the process.

00:19:40
Speaker 2: Just a friendly little nudge that okay, come on, let's go. Hey, everybody's got a place to go.

00:19:45
Speaker 5: You kind of like you tap on the horn with like the soft side of your fist.

00:19:50
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, we all have to go someplace. I got to entertain a nation.

00:19:58
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, if you're in the receiver and end up getting wrong because for whatever reason you're a little distracted, just weren't looking up at the light and you didn't go right away someone out the are you more likely to flip the bird or give it like a little wave like sorry, I goes off for a second.

00:20:09
Speaker 2: One, I'll just go hang my bad.

00:20:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean if I'm you know, going to put on some music and all of a sudden, I'm changing the channel a little bit there and then maybe maybe maybe it's two seconds, two seconds and then no problem. If you're going to nudge me along there now, I'm down above it. I mean I've done that before myself. Yes.

00:20:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:20:30
Speaker 6: If you realize you're guilty of sitting at a stop light and when it's green, you give the handwave, the full handwave.

00:20:36
Speaker 3: It's like I accept guilt, my bad.

00:20:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:20:39
Speaker 6: Do you think they should teach the courtesy hand wave. I'm not kidding at driving schools because.

00:20:44
Speaker 2: I probably don't want you driving with one hand on the week.

00:20:47
Speaker 6: No, but the let's say you accidentally cut someone off, the courtesy handwave can end a lot of problems for people.

00:20:53
Speaker 2: I usually do that if I'm gonna it's going to be a little tight, I'll wave to the person to say, hey, you know, I'm acknowledging this, and sometimes my bad, but maybe it just a polite horn.

00:21:07
Speaker 4: A few weeks ago, I wanted to do the polite my bed because I thought I got to the stopside a little before the other person, not that it's a competition or anything, and he gave me such a nasty finger and look, and he had a woman with him out of his wife or girlfriend. There was definitely a kid in the back seat, and you would think that I bashed into his car. And I realized for a second, and my wife said to me, I think, you know he got there, you know first, you know you should have let him go.

00:21:28
Speaker 3: But he was such an angry, almost road y.

00:21:31
Speaker 2: Well there's a lot of that now, there's a lot of that. People don't turn on their blinkers, and people speed cut in front of you. It seems like there's more and more that I have found myself with both hands on the wheel and then I'll flip my my bird finger up just a little bit. Now, I don't do a full flip somebody off. It's just a little embolotistic. Yeah, but it's for myself.

00:21:57
Speaker 5: I told you that happened to me once and I went around somebody because this dude was in the left hand lane and wouldn't move over. So I just went around him and I didn't give him the finger or anything. I didn't even really look at him, but I went around him, and when I looked in my rearview mirror, he had both hands on the wheel and his one finger just then died and then came back out because he was there with his wife next to him and he couldn't do it.

00:22:18
Speaker 2: And I I respect that, and I have done that. I've done that a couple of times where just like it, but it's it's only for me, even if he doesn't see it. I feel like, all right, I got that out there.

00:22:31
Speaker 5: I am a middle finger giver. I am a middle finger getter. I will follow the person all the way by me. I am a real I can be incredibly aggressive with my middle fingers to the point where I'm trying to curb that.

00:22:46
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, any confrontations.

00:22:50
Speaker 5: Uh what like where I got out of the car.

00:22:52
Speaker 2: Something, No, okay, I went through a yellow light and a guy was going to make the turn and he chased after me like it was a full on Like I'm like, oh my God, and swear on the Bible that it was a yellow light that I went through, but he was going to make a right turn and he followed me for a couple of miles, Like I was going, I'll just go down this street. He went down that street and I'm gonna go over here. So I stopped and I have my camera out and you know, on my phone, and he's yelling at me. I said, how can you yell at me going through a yellow light being reckless? If you're being reckless trying to catch me to tell me that I was reckless, And he said, don't play that word magic with me. Magic And I was like, I don't know. He didn't knew who I was, but I just I'm filming this because I'm thinking, all right, I don't know what's going to happen here. I don't know if guy's got a gun. Yes, Hud, I.

00:23:52
Speaker 4: Was going to ask to do you fear for your safety that this guy's going to like corner you, and you know as you're you're trying to pull away from him and go up and down streets that you're not going through just to get away from this.

00:24:01
Speaker 2: I have to admit, you know, pulse rate was up just a little bit because you don't know. And then all of a sudden, you know, the guys around my age, and that's when I had to I had to verbally spank him and say, you can't complain about me, you know, being reckless if you're going to be reckless trying to track me down.

00:24:19
Speaker 5: Yes, he sometime in the last like year or so. I forget exactly how long it's been, but I've decided to just I get to a certain speed, about sixty nine miles an hour, and I just set my cruise control and I just stay at that. Nothing will teach you more about how people drive, nor nothing will scare you more about how people drive than doing that. It is absolute madness. When you're just at sixteen nine and fifteen out of every sixteen cars are flying by you. They're pissed at you for going so slow. They're like doing all this. It is crazy to observe the roads when you're sort of set at that one.

00:25:00
Speaker 2: I also hate when somebody is in such a hurry to pull out, but then they go under the speed limit.

00:25:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, they cut you off and stop.

00:25:08
Speaker 2: Yes, like go like if you're gonna do that, and then just go. And then all of a sudden, it's a twenty five mile an hour zone and they're going twenty two and I'm going, you got to be kidding me. Yes, time.

00:25:18
Speaker 4: What if you're in the left lane, which is the faster lane, and you're going easily at least ten miles an hour faster than you're supposed to be, So you're going seventy five and someone is on your tail, are you might more likely to be stubborn? Well, you go around me, I'm staying putting. Is the speed I'm going? Or do you let them go through?

00:25:33
Speaker 2: What do you do?

00:25:33
Speaker 3: Ton I?

00:25:35
Speaker 4: I'm usually say you to go around me. It's my attitude. I'm like, I know you're trying to you know, you know, I'm looking at my review. It looks like they're in my back seat, and I try to scare me into going faster or getting out of their way.

00:25:45
Speaker 2: I think you're supposed to move over, but they why.

00:25:48
Speaker 3: Are they being such striction?

00:25:49
Speaker 4: They're like, on if I stop, if I go one mile an hour slower, he's going to crash into me. It's literally on my bumper because seventy seven miles an hour is not fast enough for him in the left lane.

00:25:57
Speaker 3: So I'm like, no, I'm not going any faster. Go around me, okay, it makes me feel better, and then he comes.

00:26:03
Speaker 4: Then finally they go around you, and then you give each other that look like.

00:26:05
Speaker 2: You yeah, and he's doing the same to you.

00:26:09
Speaker 5: I often watched like that exact person who's one of my least favorite people on the road, the guy who just won't move over, the person who just.

00:26:18
Speaker 4: Won't Todd, But I'm already going fifteen miles an hour, fans and as speedteen miles an hour, and if I'm going seventy three seventy five.

00:26:30
Speaker 5: Move over, just move over. And then there's so many times that you're sitting in like three lanes of traffic and there's like a tractive trailer, a school bus, and then one guy that just won't move over.

00:26:42
Speaker 2: Just move over.

00:26:45
Speaker 6: Yes, well, I promise you after hearing this conversation, Todd is not going to move over going forward. He is going to sit in that left lane and look in his rear view mirror angrily at that person who's crowding.

00:26:54
Speaker 12: Unless someone's screaming behind me out there with my wife's having a baby, or there's some kind of medical emergence, they go around me.

00:27:01
Speaker 4: You're in a big freaking rush. You gotta go eighty five miles an hour. It's not a race.

00:27:04
Speaker 6: Seaton's right, though, you're setting up a pass on the right situation, which is the most dangerous thing on a highway by you.

00:27:11
Speaker 5: You have to do this move over.

00:27:12
Speaker 4: But then there's the jerks that are like they decided that it's gonna be the Indy five hundred. They're and their friends. They're not racing each other. There's two or three cars zipping in and out, of least putting everyone's lives in danger because they're in a big race to get from one.

00:27:21
Speaker 5: Just sounds like maybe you should move over and get out of the way so they get pass you safe.

00:27:25
Speaker 4: Around go around me. I'm already going past the speed limit.

00:27:28
Speaker 5: The only person worse than go around me. Guy is everyone's merging into the lane of traffic. But I'm gonna sit in between the two so nobody.

00:27:37
Speaker 3: Can get buy me.

00:27:38
Speaker 5: I'm not letting anybody, Bobby, I'm not letting anybody by. That person should have their driver's license taken away. They are the worst person officially on the road.

00:27:47
Speaker 2: What you do have New Yorkers who feel like I I can merge wherever I want to merge. Here, I'm gonna go in front of everybody. I'm gonna go on the uh, you know, the side of the road to then pull up and then pull in.

00:28:02
Speaker 5: Going on the side of the road is one thing when you're in a perfectly open lane. They do the cones right for a reason. That's where they want you to go up to the cones and then merge at the cones.

00:28:12
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:28:12
Speaker 5: The person who does it one hundred and fifty feet in front of the cones and then doesn't let anybody over because I'm not letting you through is the lamest person in the world. In the world, there is no bigger loser on the planet than that person.

00:28:25
Speaker 2: Once again, this just started with a little good that's all. Now we do not deserve the courtesy. We we've got road rage here. Oh my god, yes, Martin.

00:28:34
Speaker 13: Yeah, the worst drivers New York City easily only because hu hu. I can't go any faster. I'm fit in line. I'm fit in line. Why are you? Why are you living on the horn. You don't have to do that. It's not going any faster. I can't go any faster. There's three cars ahead of me.

00:28:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that just feels like that's a New York thing. That's you know that it's a weapon that they have that horn.

00:28:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, Poe, but you've driven in New York, Dan, It's almost like there's a collective etiquette. We're all going to be aggressive here. So if you're not aggressive driving in New York, that's your problem.

00:29:09
Speaker 2: If you don't match the tone.

00:29:10
Speaker 4: Yes, And the worst thing you could do is signal if you want to change lanes. Especially in New York, it's like, oh, you're not getting in front of me. As soon as you see someone signal, that's their cue to like speed up and blast from getting it. So the best thing to do is to cut somebody up. That's the only way you're going to get into that way. Can't let them know you want.

00:29:23
Speaker 3: To get over. Then that's when they go no way.

00:29:25
Speaker 2: Uh, Jeremy in Ventura, Hi Jeremy, what's on your mind?

00:29:30
Speaker 7: Hey? First time, long time Dan five eleven. It's kind of funny. I'm a traffic technician. You guys are talking about, you know, the signage and merging over. So I work a lot in LA.

00:29:45
Speaker 2: Wait what does what does a traffic technician do?

00:29:50
Speaker 7: So we laid down the cones, like when we get away from like a car hit pull or a glown transformer or an accident. People speed, you know, when there's signs that are saying, you know, roadwork ahead and whatnot. Can always take care of paying attention with on the road because there's always you never know, so going even fifteen miles an hour faster. Think about people who are like cattle, they just kind of follow along and one person does the next. By the way, it's my fortieth birthday today, just like Paulie, So happy birthday paul and a longtime Charger fans, and I want to do a challenge to Fritzy No Yeah for the end of the year so we know how to goes. Being a Charger fan. Winning three division games this year, it's going to count towards the end of the year, and I'm going to the end of the year on the all three in Division games. So if you're willing to take a piece to the faith, I'm down to say the Bronco Targeer game at the end of the year.

00:30:55
Speaker 3: Oh, the Tries are going to sweep under that's what we're saying.

00:30:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the Broncos game against the chart Okay, I would.

00:31:01
Speaker 4: Be how can I how can I say note to that they got to split and find a way to win the one in Denver.

00:31:06
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jeremy, be safe out there. Uh. I think we owe him and Paulie Happy birthday here, happy road.

00:31:25
Speaker 12: Hu.

00:31:28
Speaker 2: Dan in Wisconsin? Hi, Dan, went's on your mind today?

00:31:32
Speaker 4: Dan?

00:31:33
Speaker 2: Hey?

00:31:33
Speaker 9: This is Dan.

00:31:34
Speaker 14: I did say we had a big pick up for the franchise on Sunday morning. We had MacIntire Edward by a C section, eight pounds, three ounces, twenty and a half inches.

00:31:45
Speaker 2: Mac.

00:31:47
Speaker 14: Yeah, little Mac, Little Mac, little macaroon.

00:31:50
Speaker 7: Still.

00:31:51
Speaker 14: I mean, I think we're actually crushing it with the baby stuff. We'll let our pediatrician decide that. But we got a big problem. He was born Sunday.

00:32:00
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:32:01
Speaker 14: Packers lost and on a three game moving street for the Brewers. I just need some assurances that this baby coming the world didn't wreck our camps in October here. I need some tangible I need some tangible U assurances.

00:32:15
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd bring that up to your wife, you know, after a c section, just say, I don't know. I think Max a bad you know, bad luck.

00:32:24
Speaker 5: You gotta earn some sage around this kid or something.

00:32:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think you're gonna be okay with the Packers. Uh, the Brewers. It was a wonderful regular season. I just don't know if they're built for the postseason. H Hey, you can always fall back on the Wisconsin badge.

00:32:42
Speaker 3: Maryland terps come down.

00:32:45
Speaker 2: Congratulations on the baby there, Dan, And don't give percentile, okay, just just a heads up. You know, you don't have to give the percentile of my child is in the ninety eighth percentile or you don't have to do that because it doesn't mean anything. And I have been around it, and I act like I'm interested in I'm not. And I have two grandkids and I don't care about their percentile. Well, they'll eventually get to where they need to get. I don't need to know you're in the sixty eighth percentile. Okay, we celebrate, Yes.

00:33:25
Speaker 6: Paul, height is not an accomplishment.

00:33:28
Speaker 3: I know.

00:33:29
Speaker 2: Look at my kid, he's taller than.

00:33:30
Speaker 6: One third of his class. Like they're going to the NBA. Everyone thinks he's gonna be on the knicks.

00:33:36
Speaker 2: My son was twenty four inches long when he was born. It didn't matter. He couldn't play basketball. But they was like, you know, he's in one hundred percentile okay, height and wait, how much does that does she weigh? She weighs seven to seven what percentile? I'm like, it doesn't matter, Yeah, Paul.

00:33:58
Speaker 6: You know how I sometimes inject awkward things. And there's a couple near me about a year ago, and they were talking and they were very tall with this couple and they're talking about their son and like, yeah, he went in and they measured him. He's off the charts, like, way off the charts. Like I kind of rose my hand and goes, how could have you off the charts at the end of the chart, he'd be at that end. It didn't go over well in the room. They were celebrating this kid's height.

00:34:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how to act when somebody says one hundred percentile or you know, fifty percent. I don't know what you do? Yes, Marvin oh.

00:34:30
Speaker 3: Two tall people having the tall kid, Yeah, would have done.

00:34:36
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break. Let's take a break. More phone calls coming up. If you're Russell Wilson, do you ask to be released by the Giants? We'll talk about that after this.

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.

00:34:58
Speaker 2: Fritzy, the audience is not on your side. The left lane is the passing lane. You should move over, and you are creating a hamzard, are potential hazzard?

00:35:09
Speaker 3: But would that also say.

00:35:10
Speaker 4: Even if you're going, you know, way above the speed limit, let them go by, Like it feels like there should be a little more to the story that it's not that black and white. But if you said to a police officer, this person wants to pass, I'm already breaking the law and this person's going even faster than me, the safest thing to do is for him to be on my button, like he's going to crash into my car.

00:35:28
Speaker 3: Because I'm not going fast.

00:35:29
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully the police would arrest him for going to faish.

00:35:32
Speaker 3: You should both get a ticket.

00:35:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're not the speed police.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: No, but if you unless you're a fire engine or a police or an ambulance or a police car. And what are you on my You're about to crash into my car. You're that closer in my review mirror. It looks like you're sitting in my back seat.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: What is that scene?

00:35:49
Speaker 5: There is a new law in Connecticut that starts October one, twenty twenty six. Okay, that will ticket drivers who quote camp in the passing lane without actively passing another vehicle.

00:36:04
Speaker 2: Ooh, todd.

00:36:06
Speaker 4: That needs to be elaborated onto what is the camping speed? That's a very vague term that they think, I think they need to camp. I'm not camping out. I'm not pulled over. I'm not one of these old guys or old lays driving thirty miles an hour on the highway where you're like, jeez, it's gonna take me four hours. I gotta get around this person when they're going thirty because they're afraid to drive. They shouldn't even be on the highway at thirty I'm already going like seventy seventy five and that's not fast enough.

00:36:28
Speaker 2: Okay, Why do you have to say thirty miles an hour?

00:36:30
Speaker 4: Okay, because there are a lot of elderly people, God bless them. I wish my mom had a driver's license, and so we would have to take her everywhere that she can kind of come and go.

00:36:36
Speaker 3: But they go exceptionally slow. Not all of that.

00:36:39
Speaker 2: This is way too deep. Nobody's going thirty miles an hour.

00:36:43
Speaker 4: Oh how is seventy five miles an hour of camping out?

00:36:46
Speaker 2: You let me move over.

00:36:47
Speaker 4: I want them to describe what camping out me. They need to elaborate. They can't just throw out that what.

00:36:51
Speaker 5: It's crazy about this whole thing, rather than just being like, wow, that person was close and moving over, you're.

00:36:57
Speaker 2: Going to allow them? Yes, now, Now, all of a sudden, I got little old ladies going thirty miles an hour, and I can't stand that.

00:37:04
Speaker 4: Either you're going, what are you looking for a parking spot on the highway and drive the car.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: Nobody is going thirty miles an hour in the highway.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: And then they're like, oh, I meant to hit the brake.

00:37:10
Speaker 4: I hit the gas. That's how I ended up in the CVS pharmacy through the glass windows. If it happens every once in a while, that's a whole other story.

00:37:18
Speaker 5: On the highway, that's CVS on the highway that hit the wrong buttons.

00:37:22
Speaker 4: How's that car in someone's house? I was meant to hit the.

00:37:25
Speaker 5: Ninety five north, that five lane thing, and in the middle of it there's that CBS you can crash into if you don't hit the right pedal.

00:37:31
Speaker 4: If camping out is seventy five miles an hour, what is not camping one hundred?

00:37:35
Speaker 2: Dan and Charleston one d f U Dan and Charleston. Hi did been morning? Dan? How are you today?

00:37:43
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:37:43
Speaker 2: Wonderful?

00:37:45
Speaker 14: All right?

00:37:46
Speaker 2: Todd?

00:37:46
Speaker 7: You are the epitome of adelta Bravo on the highway? Get over?

00:37:53
Speaker 4: What is the big rush? Where's everybody going after? People don't even work anymore? That everyone's tired speed police.

00:38:01
Speaker 5: Maybe they really have to go to the bathroom, Todd. They're trying to fight.

00:38:06
Speaker 3: You gotta yell, so yell out your window right on the bathroom. We're having a baby in the water.

00:38:10
Speaker 5: Broke three cars behind you because there's a car waiting for you to move over, then another car, then another car, then another car, and that person has an emergency, but there are four cars behind you.

00:38:19
Speaker 4: I'd rather be hunked, I guess, or get the finger, than to be on my tail where you're going to cause an accident. If I go one mile and I was slower, we're going to crash into each other, that's what.

00:38:27
Speaker 2: But if you stay in the left lane, then the odds are you're going to get in an accident. If you move over to the middle lane, you let all those people go by.

00:38:36
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a dangerous move for the person behind me to go around me with the whole passive. I don't want to hear about passing laws because when not caring about laws, someone wants to go ninety five miles an hour in the left lane, so obviously we don't care about law.

00:38:46
Speaker 6: There is nothing more dangerous on a three lane highway than forcing or anyone passing on the right. Passing on the right is where you get catastrophic accents. As Todd, it's funny. It's funny that Todd, you're complaining about people going too fast in their cars when you said you're going to miles over the speed limit in that left lane, so you're capping people at your number.

00:39:04
Speaker 4: I'm literally looking at the rear view and trying to mouth to the person behind me, who's basically in my back seat. It's like, I'm already going much faster than I'm supposed to.

00:39:11
Speaker 9: What do you?

00:39:11
Speaker 3: What do you do?

00:39:12
Speaker 2: Will you alter your driving on the highway?

00:39:15
Speaker 4: I don't think I will, but I have done both. I have moved over. But that's not a good enough excuse for me. That the passing lane is that this dangerous, horrible thing will happen if the person goes around me.

00:39:23
Speaker 2: It's it's called the passing lane.

00:39:25
Speaker 4: So the person on my tail going like ninety's that's a lot safer than him just going around me because it's the passing lane that I'm not following.

00:39:32
Speaker 2: You're making a situation potentially worse.

00:39:35
Speaker 4: The person behind me is creating the situation because he's riding right on top of.

00:39:38
Speaker 2: You're not the speed poet.

00:39:39
Speaker 5: In the order of things that we can rank from creating a safe environment to a less safe environment, probably the first safest thing to do is you move over. That would be the first thing, like, oh, best move right now, Why don't I just get out of this lane and let all the people who want to go faster than me go buy me.

00:39:56
Speaker 3: The only reason, the only way I would move over.

00:39:58
Speaker 4: So if I look through my river and this looks like some kind of big, crazy guy, and I'm like, I don't want to get in from some you know, road rage thing where this guy's gonna pull bang.

00:40:05
Speaker 3: Into my car.

00:40:06
Speaker 13: Take it.

00:40:06
Speaker 2: We don't have to do anything. You can stay in the middle lane. You don't have to worry about some guy you know, angry behind you in a pickup truck.

00:40:15
Speaker 3: If he's in that much of a rush, he could also go around me.

00:40:18
Speaker 4: It takes the same amount of time for me to get a move over him to go around me, passing lane or not, because we're throwing out all laws. Because he's already going ninety on my tail, which is just as dangerous as like, be capful going from the left lane to the middle lane.

00:40:29
Speaker 9: Kill everyone.

00:40:29
Speaker 2: Now, how's he going ninety if you're going seventy five.

00:40:31
Speaker 3: I've never heard of such a.

00:40:34
Speaker 12: I've never heard of saying I want to see the stacks people that have gone from the left lane to the middle lane, and all these.

00:40:39
Speaker 2: People have died are laying to me. He's going ninety and you're going seventy five.

00:40:44
Speaker 4: Feels like he's going through my car. That's how that's how I'm experiencial. He must be going faster than me because he's in my back seat.

00:40:49
Speaker 13: Yes, Marvin, easily the most stubborn Dan Ad. This isn't even close. This is ridiculous, Fritzy, it's the passing.

00:41:02
Speaker 3: Where is this person going?

00:41:04
Speaker 4: And unless they can specifically explain it to me somehow while they're in that car behind me on the highway, which they don't really have time to go.

00:41:09
