Hour 3 – Dan Wetzel, Gambling Horror Stories

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

00:00:04
Speaker 2: We spent a good portion of the show talking about what's going on with Brendan Soresby. He's a transfer from the University of Cincinnati and now he's with Texas Tech, and now he's gone into a rehabilitation program for gambling. He is probably has first round talent as a quarterback. Texas Tech paid over five million dollars reportedly in the transfer portal, and there are reports that Cincinnati, where he was before, knew that he was gambling, and at Indiana reportedly was gambling on Indiana football even though he didn't play much. Michael Pennix was the starting quarterback. Dan Wetzel whenever there's a college scandal, we called Dan Wetzel, ESPN senior writer College Game Day Podcast. All righty, what do we need to know about this?

00:00:55
Speaker 3: Dan?

00:00:57
Speaker 4: So it's an interesting one because, Uh, there's no allegation of any kind of uh, spot shaving, fixing, yeah, prop bets, anything like that. This is not a criminal investigation. It's an NCAA investigation. Uh, And I think that's important a because that's limits the trouble that that mister Soresby would be in. But it's it's really more of a it's a different and modern one where he just like to wager on sports, which enormous numbers of people do, and some do to a problematic level. Uh, we're talking, you know, allegedly, you know, thousands of bets. He would he would bet Cincinnati Reds pitch by pitch, you know, a dollar something like that. We've we've heard that kind of reporting. We'll see what the full details are. We'll see where this leads. But right now it is really just that he was gambling on on different sports, which the NCAA prohibits, uh in most cases. And the particular problem would be back in twenty twenty two, he's allegedly gambled on his own Indiana Hoosier team. He was a freshman at the time. He probably played in one game. He was going to red shirt that season. But d NCA has a clear line that says you can't bet on your own teams, and so that in twenty twenty three they put a rule in that would be permanent banishment from college. You'd lose your college eligibility if you do that. This took place in twenty twenty two. We'll see how that plays out. There's a lot of stuff, but generally speaking, I'm gonna expect that Brendan Soorzman's not going to play NCAA football again. He might play in the NAIA level, he might go to the NFL. I don't know what he would try to do, but it's certainly a very big scandal. It's important going for Texas Tech next season. It's a sad story of a kid with a young man with a ton of potentially he is going to be paid four or five million dollars this year reportedly to play for Texas Tech, and he gambled it all away using a sports betting app.

00:03:04
Speaker 3: How did the story break.

00:03:08
Speaker 5: That? We don't fully know. The NCAA is investigating it.

00:03:12
Speaker 4: And you know one thing about these integrity monitors and the different systems they have to catch people in different states, and the NCAA has and as well as the NBA and the NFL and all of those, it's really not advisable for an athlete to try to beat the system. And so we don't know right now how they got them. But if you remember a few years ago, Jamison Williams of the Detroit Lions got suspended he was making a what would be a legal wager as long as it wasn't an NFL allowed and certainly illegal in terms of the law. Wager would have been allowed if he was not if he didn't do it at the Lion's facility, But he did do it at the Lions facility.

00:03:56
Speaker 5: And you know, they can track like exactly where you are when you make this bet and things like that.

00:04:00
Speaker 4: So the technology to catch these guys is pretty good. And so we're not quite sure how it all began, or how they know so much, or whether the source mas just come clean because he was going to get in trouble anyway.

00:04:13
Speaker 5: But that's where we're at.

00:04:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's a bigger picture.

00:04:18
Speaker 2: I'm usually surprised somebody who's in college who doesn't bet. Certainly, you know, you got kids who were nineteen twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, and it feels like it's probably I think the number was sixty percent a couple of years ago, it's probably seventy five. I mean, it's so commonplace to bet, like you're in the minority when you don't bet, and it's so easy to bet as well. I just I hope moving forward these sports. Certainly college have safeguards in place because it used to be we thought, well, the kid who doesn't have any money, he's the vulnerable one. Prior to nil, this kid had five million dollars and he's he's the vulnerable one in a situation like that. Can college athletics safeguard this?

00:05:05
Speaker 4: It's hard, it's it's education, and it's it's it's it's just hoping. I mean, they're like you said, it's so prevalent, and and on two levels. One so you're you're in the dorm or you're hanging out with the guys or whatever, and everyone.

00:05:20
Speaker 5: Is doing it.

00:05:21
Speaker 4: And every college, you know, the percentage of college young college men or young men gambling on sports apps is enormous. And so you just kind of it's like going to a derby party on Saturday. You may not bet on horses, but you'll bet on it because you're at the derby party. Or you buy a Super Bowl square. You know, I don't gamble on football, but I'm at here, I'll buy a square. Right everyone's doing and I want to be in on the fund. You can see where it goes. And then the technology right now is completely altered the way sports wagering works. You had to have a bookie, you had to call ahead. You go only picking winners and losers in a game. Now you're picking bet by bet, you know, pitch by pitch at a baseball game. And it's not just that you have more opportunity to win or lose. But I've done a lot of stories on this stuff, the way your brain will work, and the way that interacts with endorphins, and the way it fires to particularly a younger brain, where you're getting this almost every thirty seconds, this high or low. It just accelerates the possibility for problematic gambling. Now I have no opposition to gambling or anything else, but I think I can acknowledge I'm a free individual, liberty kind of guy, but you can acknowledge that this is a totally different amount of technology changes the possibility that someone could get addicted very quickly. So again, he wasn't doing anything that most.

00:06:46
Speaker 5: College kids aren't doing.

00:06:47
Speaker 4: But most college kids aren't getting paid five million dollars a year to be the quarterback either, And so you're not a normal college student and you have to know that. And the reason that you can make this much money playing in college sports. Now reason you have a scholarship, Ever, the reason this whole operation goes is because fans who love college football, well, fans aren't going to love college football if they think that the results are compromised. So you have to be an adult at this point. If you're going to get paid like this, you're going to be a pro. You have to understand I'm part of this team also, and even putting out the impression that something could be untoward could affect the bottom line for all of us in this industry.

00:07:26
Speaker 5: And so there's a lot of angles here.

00:07:28
Speaker 4: It's an interesting story to me because it's one of the first that doesn't involve the shadowy figure that's trying to compromise that we could have had that we did have in the nineteen fifties.

00:07:39
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you again, Dan, Well next controversy will reach out.

00:07:44
Speaker 5: I'm always here for you, Always here for you.

00:07:46
Speaker 2: Dan Wetzel, ESPN Senior writer, College Game Day Podcast. I did reach out to a source on this who said that there is a company. It's called Prohibit so Prohibit, but it's beet Prohibit bet. It's a compliance driven app. Every student athlete is required to download on their phone. The app notifies universities when athletes attempt to sign up for betting platforms or place prohibited wagers. That was the case at Cincinnati and Texas Tech. Because I was wondering what safeguards And I'm not putting this on the NC double A because really this is about the gambling sites Fan Duel, DraftKings Vegas. They're the ones that this is their business. NC DOUBLEA doesn't have the manpower to be able to kind of monitor all of this, and usually what they get is somebody tells them, gives them a heads up, Somebody does the investigative work. Guys like Dan Wetzel, Pat Forty Pete, the Hamil they do the work and then all of a sudden NCAA comes in.

00:09:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, pulling.

00:09:01
Speaker 6: When I look at some of these stories about Soresby, it feels like a lot of the accusations are from three and a half years ago. At Indiana, I wonder if the safeguards are now catching up and maybe curtailed his betting over the past. Company.

00:09:14
Speaker 3: Yeah it's Cincinnati knew about this.

00:09:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you just do it once or you kind of do it. I'm just going by first hand knowledge that you're always gambling.

00:09:29
Speaker 7: Now.

00:09:29
Speaker 2: I never got to the point where I was gambling on baseball or hockey. But I bet on preseason football. I remember the Hall of Fame game. I bet on.

00:09:38
Speaker 3: That's no, it's bad.

00:09:40
Speaker 6: That's bad. Absolutely, there is no trends with the Hall of Fame game. You're going in blind as a better.

00:09:47
Speaker 2: And I did, you know. But you get caught up and you think, well, hey, it's Saturday. Who am I betting on? Now I can start on Thursday. Then I've got Saturday, Saturday night, Sunday, Sunday night, Monday, Monday night. It's there, It's constant, and it becomes part of your routine, and it might you might, you know, maybe make a little bit of money. Maybe you're not losing much money. It just feels like it. It will catch up to you. Like I could never do blackjack. I just I just didn't enjoy it. I'm not a poker player. I didn't do any of that. But I played blackjack before and I knew it was a number. Like, I didn't enjoy it and I couldn't beat it. Whereas football, I thought, well, I'm knowledgeable enough, but I was knowledgeable in knowing all the players, but I didn't know how to gamble, like all of a sudden, you know, three and a half and it goes up to four and you go, eh, yeah, you know, and then all of a sudden, you know, the team wins by three. You've got to understand how to gamble. Not necessarily personnel, it's what are the trends. Because that's why when we say this all the time, goll they got that right. It's like one and a half and they win by two. It's because they have to get it right or at least as close to that. Nate and La Hi, Nate, what's on your mind today?

00:11:24
Speaker 7: Dan?

00:11:24
Speaker 8: Before I get to my question about sources, I just have to comment on the greatest duo debate potentially.

00:11:31
Speaker 9: I think it's the father son duo you have representing the back row.

00:11:35
Speaker 5: Suck it.

00:11:37
Speaker 9: My question about sources is either how do you maintain those relationships or have you ever lost those relationships?

00:11:47
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:11:48
Speaker 2: I've lost a couple of sources, and one was because I realized he was kind of manipulating me. Took a little bit of time, but look the ones I have now, I've had for decades for the most part, it's not like I'm interviewing new sources like you sometimes just find somebody who wants I always say to my sources, just set me straight. If I say something that's wrong, then text me and if they and if they find out something, then great. But I never want to compromise what their jobs are. Two of them aren't working anymore, so I you know, I know that they're not manipulating me. But it happened in basketball where I had somebody I trusted and was manipulating me twice once in college basketball, once in the NBA. But hey, you know you learn from those things. Let's see Kirk in Mississippi. Hi, Kirk, Agreetings from the Deep South.

00:12:58
Speaker 7: A SIP.

00:12:59
Speaker 8: First time callared long time listeners since the double days. You guys are awesome. I talked with Tyler. I've got experience with this and treating folks. I worked in the treatment field for about twenty three years in recovery. Myself started working in the field with two and a half years of sobriety, and when the casino was hit in Mississippi in the late nineties, we found out we weren't asking the right questions on our intake because we had a lot of folks that came through the treatment center that had gambling addictions that never got addressed. So we started asking the right questions, and the only success we saw were with the folks that did it through a twelve.

00:13:41
Speaker 9: Step program, you know.

00:13:43
Speaker 8: And as with any disorder, sex addiction, eating disorders, the gambling, you know, the first step is you're meeting your powers over whatever it is in your life's unmanageable. And so I told Tyler. I also rescued my mom and her gambling or three times end up costing about twenty five brand when it was all said and done, but she didn't work on paying that back, and then I got her traded and she died gambling free.

00:14:13
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's getting that.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: And I've had some people who have corresponded of its addiction. It doesn't matter what addiction it is. It's kind of trying to find out what is it that you get from this? When does it come up? Like, how does it start? What's the genesis of this. It's like you know, drinking or smoking a cigarette. There's certain triggers where you go. I got a place of bet, yeah deal.

00:14:41
Speaker 10: I think the tough thing with the gambling is it's like you're not going to get found with like a needle in your arm, you know, like it's insidious in the way that there's.

00:14:49
Speaker 2: No physically it doesn't harm you, like from the outside.

00:14:52
Speaker 3: You don't know. Somebody could be in the throes of gambling.

00:14:55
Speaker 10: No until they're like more, you know, mortgaging their house and doing all that stuff. But there's no like physical ailments that are going to come from it, unless you know, you end up hurting yourself.

00:15:05
Speaker 3: Let's take a break.

00:16:24
Speaker 3: Dylan, would you update the poll results please?

00:16:26
Speaker 10: I would Dan? Would you let Brendan Soresby play this year? Unsurprisingly, seventy five percent are saying and new.

00:16:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't want to make an example, but I think you have to make an example of how egregious this might be. If you're betting on your football team. Did you bet on your football team at Cincinnati? What did Cincinnati know prior to you going to Texas Tech? And it feels like there's a lot there. It depends you know. How much are we going to find out? How big is this problem? Where any games compromised, any information shared so it's still early, probably in the discovery stage here, yestill, does.

00:17:13
Speaker 10: It change your opinion if you find out like definitively he only ever bet on them to win, like win out right.

00:17:20
Speaker 2: I don't want you putting any money anywhere near games that you're involved in. Yeah, I agree, but it does change now. I would suspend him. I wouldn't let him play college football again. You're betting on your team to win, just like Pete Rose. When Pete told me that, hey, I bet on the Reds to win every game, and the number of people are like, oh, okay, I can admire that. Well, then you find out that Pete was manipulating the lineup. Then all of a sudden, he might be using John Franco four consecutive nights and probably shouldn't. Or you're putting somebody in who might be a little injured and maybe risky. I mean, there's so much going on with that, And look, I appreciate it. I had a relationship with Pete that was a love hate relationship, but it was an honest relationship on my part, and I think he felt comfortable enough where he did tell me this, And I go back to my bookie took bets from Pete's bookie. Sometimes you lay off bets and the bookie I went through his friend took Pete's bets in Cincinnati. That's why when I got to ESPN, one of the first things we did was the Pete Rose situation. And I had great information because I had one of the bookies who was taking bets from Pete, and I could find out exactly what Pete was betting on, and he was betting on everything. He had one of those huge satellite dishes, remember those big dishes you'd have in your backyard. You could you could get Mars Venus, Saturn, West Coast, didn't matter, if there was a signal to get you could get it. And Pete would be betting Vancouver Canucks to cover, you know. Like, so I knew exactly what was going on.

00:19:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauling, I think you guys are right that the NCA will probably not let him play again, And if that's decided in the near future, I'm really curious to see how the NFL treats him a supplemental draft or he sits out a year, does he get suspended in some way going into the NFL are things asked of him before he goes to the NFL as like rookie symposium or talk to college kids.

00:19:40
Speaker 2: Okay, But if Roger Goodell was the commissioner when Terrell Pryor got suspended when prior left Ohio State Supplemental Draft, he was getting suspended by the NCAA for five games, and then the commissioner ended up upholding that suspension and suspending him for five games when he got to the NFL. If college football says, your band, then what's the commissioner do? Precedent's already been sent. You did this to Terrell Pryor, What are you going to do to this kid? Let's see Bill and Jacksonville. Hi, Bill, what's on your mind today?

00:20:19
Speaker 9: For taking my call? A couple of thoughts. Forty years ago, I had the pleasure in Pittsburgh of playing some tennis with Collie Hawkins, the guy that could pick a quarter off the top of the basket on top of the backboard. He didn't lie about what the NCAA did to him. You called sores be a kid. When I was his age, I was a yelling lieutenant with the Marines in Vietnam. I would have allowed to have some of the problems that he has. Everybody says he shouldn't play again. Go to the CFL. Play a year and see what happens. But no second chances, INCA. I want to stand up for one to do the right thing.

00:21:06
Speaker 2: All right, Bill, thank you Brad in Austin, Hi, Brad, what's on your mind?

00:21:13
Speaker 9: Hey Dan?

00:21:13
Speaker 12: Thanks for taking the call. It's real quick with a picture division one. And you know the same things that can take athletes to the highest of all highs, that that addictive mindset can take us to the lowest of all lows. I experienced this personally, and this might just be more of a PSA. You know, I also went to a thirty day rehab, but back in two thousand and three, there wasn't such thing as GA. I hung out with C A A whatever A I could get to. But what piques my interest? As somebody mentioned, you know, you don't see a needle hanging out of a vein. But one of the most interesting things, one of the most successful human beings I have ever met, was in this rehab and he spoke about how he liked to shoot pain and was vain and it really wasn't.

00:22:02
Speaker 3: The high of the coke.

00:22:04
Speaker 12: He said, the high of the needle before it touched his skin was his driving factor. The disease of self is real. I pray for this kid. He does deserve whatever he gets, but it's a PSA and I just hope the best for him.

00:22:20
Speaker 3: Well, thank you.

00:22:20
Speaker 2: Brad had somebody who was had history with drug addiction, and he told me, you know when they put the rubber tube around your arm when you're giving blood. He loved that feeling like that, that's when it starts. And he said, you know, you put that rubber band or whatever it is around your arm when you're given blood. But he was shooting up and he said when he got that around his arm and he felt it and he could hear it, he said he loved it.

00:22:55
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I deal.

00:22:56
Speaker 10: I think you And on top of like the substance or whatever it is, you get addicted to the ritual. So it's even like like oh, it's you know, like I'm taking a shower, I'm gonna have a beer, you know, like that kind of thing.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: Well, people who smoke, if they're in a bar and you start to have a drink and then they'll go, man, I could use a cigarette now if we didn't go in the bar. They might not have said I really need a cigarette. If I have some tequila, then I want a cigar, or if I have a cigar, I want tequila.

00:23:27
Speaker 3: What came first?

00:23:29
Speaker 10: You attach them together?

00:23:30
Speaker 3: Yes, you do.

00:23:31
Speaker 2: Yes, it's all about your routine. You get into a routine. There's certain sights, sound, smells, and they trigger you. And you know, I used to look at the sports pages, you know, before we had the Internet, and you just look at the point spreads and I would just stare at those point spreads and I was like, yeah, there's got to be one.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: In here, and I would just fasten it.

00:24:02
Speaker 2: Even now when I look at these with the numbers, like if you say, hey, what's what's the line, chances are I'm going to be maybe one or a half a point away from what I think the betting line is going to be. Like if you said Detroit against Orlando next.

00:24:20
Speaker 6: Game, are we playing? What's that line?

00:24:25
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm going to say ten, and I'm going to say ten and a half, Detroit favored by ten.

00:24:31
Speaker 6: And a half, Magic at Pistons nine and a half right now?

00:24:33
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I'm.

00:24:36
Speaker 2: Not proud of this. By the way, I don't want to make it into a game.

00:24:41
Speaker 6: You don't want to do Hawks the next tonight?

00:24:44
Speaker 2: No, no, but I would do this because you're you say, I would look at it and I go, okay, man, they got to be favored by four and a half, and then if it was three and a half or five and a half, then I wanted to bet on it like crazy, yeah.

00:25:03
Speaker 3: Deal.

00:25:04
Speaker 10: Well, the famous sports better Billy Walters, that was sort of his betting strategy was he would set the line in his head, and then based on what Vegas had, he would increase his bet size. So it's like there're are like every half point difference he bet an extra one hundred grand And he's also fun fact, I think he won about fifty seven percent of his bets over his career, and he's in like a handful of people ever to even do that. So if you think you're gonna win seventy percent of the time, yeain't.

00:25:30
Speaker 2: Hey, if you get to fifty two, fifty three percent, okay, cover the juice and whatever you make on Yes, ton from your experience.

00:25:38
Speaker 13: Was the high of winning stronger than the downfall of losing and what they did to you emotionally.

00:25:43
Speaker 2: No no, I mentioned that earlier and for someone that's so, where do you go for most?

00:25:48
Speaker 13: I guess the number one thing that made you stop or was it gonna have the money you lost? To what made you realize a problem to this anymore?

00:25:54
Speaker 3: I knew it was a problem. I did.

00:25:56
Speaker 2: I knew it was a problem, and I had to have a devastating loss. And I did you know, at the time, I didn't have two thousand dollars in my savings account, but I had six thousand dollars with my bookie and then I bet three thousand.

00:26:17
Speaker 3: I lost thirty three hundred dollars.

00:26:21
Speaker 2: At a time when my father was probably making twenty one or twenty two thousand dollars. You're just getting into dangerous territory there, And I just said I have to I have to stop, and I did. And I think there's certain people that's the only way they can do it. Like if I ever stopped drinking, I wouldn't go, you know, I could have a glass of wine, because I've been around people like that where somebody was like, you know, I used to drink a bottle of Charnay and while I was cooking, and you know, maybe I'll just have a glass. I go, okay, next thing you know, it's another glass, and you know, next thing you know, it's back to a bottle. So you know it's you think you can manage it, you can't. Well, you sometimes just have to go I give a I surrender, I surrender.

00:27:16
Speaker 3: I'm going to take the l here. That's it, Yes, Dylan.

00:27:19
Speaker 10: Then you have that third glass of chardenay, and all of a sudden you're betting on the magic.

00:27:24
Speaker 2: Although I said to Paulie, I said, man, after the first quarter, if you said who do you like? I would have said, Pistons are winning this game because they were just being physical and blocking shots and everything. Oh but I hate when somebody says who do you like? I hate it when you say who do you like? And I know you're a gambler. Yeah, pulling.

00:27:47
Speaker 6: My scare came in college my junior year. My sophomore and junior year, I started betting college football very light twenty five a game. I did okay, Dan, I didn't do poorly and I didn't bet a lot.

00:27:59
Speaker 3: But one of my.

00:27:59
Speaker 6: Fratern brothers, he had a weekend where he went over seven and he didn't come back to college next year. The next semester, and that was part of the reason he lost. Like, it's not gonna sound like that much money. He lost like four hundred and fifty bucks on one Saturday. But when you're in college, that's a chunk of your dough. He didn't come back. And then I got to know our campus bookie, and I saw he had a new motorcycle and he had nice clothes, and he goes, yeah, I'd make all the money.

00:28:26
Speaker 3: Oh, being a bookie, that's the way to go.

00:28:29
Speaker 6: He was rolling it.

00:28:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, let me see.

00:28:36
Speaker 3: Colin in New York. Hey, Colin, what's on your mind today?

00:28:39
Speaker 5: Hey?

00:28:40
Speaker 9: Man, like for the best? Who is the best young interviewer that can replace you?

00:28:48
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:28:49
Speaker 2: I don't think enough younger people care about interviewing. Well, Graham Benzinger has his own show and he's been doing it. But he cares about the answer. That that's the key. Any great interviewer cares about the answer, not your question. I'm asking you something to get something from you. I don't know if many people younger people are concerned about them.

00:29:22
Speaker 3: They're concerned more about a hot take.

00:29:26
Speaker 2: They're not concerned about trying to get something out of somebody. They'll do the ask a question, answer the question, then ask the question, which is death in an interview. But Graham Benzinger knows what he's doing. Evan Cohen of ESPN ESPN Radio gets out of the way asking a question, and that's really the key. But you know, you're trying to make sure that the answer is going to be the star, not my question. You know, people say, oh, you ask great questions, and I go, what was the answer? Because then you ask a great question. Chris and Syracuse, Hi Chris, what's on your mind?

00:30:08
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:30:09
Speaker 9: Thanks Dany.

00:30:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, you've been talking about the gambling and Pete Rose and having to get a new routine. Obviously a lot for athletes once they retire, the kind of something's missing. They're chasing that juice, trying to fill the void that high and a lot turn the gambling and in a couple of years, have you give any thought to what you're going to maybe used to help fill your void from the show. Do you ever think about that?

00:30:34
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know that, Chris.

00:30:36
Speaker 2: I have some thoughts, you know, I might produce a show, be involved in a show. I still have my broadcasting school in Orlando, full sale, you know. Sandler is still going to be making movies be able to be part of that. I think Grown Ups three we're shooting in June. I don't know what questions are left unanswered from Grown Ups one and two, but we're gonna probably do Grown Ups three.

00:31:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy, Yes, Marvin.

00:31:14
Speaker 14: In twenty twenty eight, you need Sandlor to give you something that you could sink your teeth into as a real fasbian.

00:31:19
Speaker 3: I would like to see.

00:31:21
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to ask him that in all sincerity, I'm going to ask him if I could get a larger role where because usually I go in. When I shot Happy Gilmour two, that was like an eight hour day where I shot all of that.

00:31:36
Speaker 3: But to be able to do a couple of things, you know, just go with it.

00:31:39
Speaker 2: That was a week in Hawaii where you know you're actually had to be an actor. But you know, maybe there's something like that. Maybe Will Ferrell will finally stop just being a friend and being a real friend like Sandler and give me a role in you know, maybe Step Brothers two or something.

00:31:58
Speaker 3: Yes, Martin, would you give up.

00:31:59
Speaker 14: Your are sure with Will Ferrell to have an acting career with him?

00:32:03
Speaker 7: No?

00:32:03
Speaker 2: No, no, no no, I value my friendship with Will Ferrell and Sandler.

00:32:08
Speaker 5: But you also value acting in the crew.

00:32:10
Speaker 2: Not not that much because Will albi Will always says, well, you're friends with Sandler, like he's kind of pushing me off, and instead of saying, hey, do you think Sandler? You know, should I go to Sandler and talk to him about maybe using you in a movie? Like, I mean, come on, is it that big of a deal of had you have him on the show all the time?

00:32:35
Speaker 6: Yes, maybe Will Ferrell's been waiting this whole time for that perfect project like Robin Williams and Goodwill hunting, that one that makes you into it a star actor, right, Robin Williams before that was the comedy guy.

00:32:49
Speaker 3: So maybe a serious role.

00:32:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:32:52
Speaker 2: Well, I did talk to Bill Hayter when he did the show on HBO Berry Good Show, What a wonderful show, And I said, hey, I really love the show. He goes, oh, well, maybe we got a part for you. I go all right, I said, you know, maybe I play a guy who gets killed or something like. I'm okay with that three episode arc. I love the show. Still waiting and very you know, the show's not on anymore, so probably not happening. But then it is pretty pathetic that I do kind of hint in a very very poor way about Hey, hey, even Paul Blart mall comp that's good flick, I know with Kevin Kevin James. And I said to Sandler, I said, hey, Sam Man, you.

00:33:46
Speaker 3: Know where are you? Where are you shooting Paul Blart mall cop?

00:33:52
Speaker 2: And he told me and I said, uh, okay, all right, And then I'm waiting.

00:33:58
Speaker 3: And it didn't happen.

00:34:00
Speaker 6: I buy Oscar.

00:34:01
Speaker 3: Yeah it's time.

00:34:02
Speaker 13: But there's nothing wrong with hinting, in my opinion, or.

00:34:04
Speaker 3: Even no, no, no, no, I know you hint all the time. You don't want to find out, Oh I didn't.

00:34:09
Speaker 5: Know you were a fan of the show, or you're a movie and you wanted.

00:34:11
Speaker 10: To have a role.

00:34:12
Speaker 5: If you don't want to hear that.

00:34:13
Speaker 2: After because you didn't bring it up, no, then I put do you realize the number of people who call or have their people call, people who call Sandler and Will Ferrell and say, hey, I.

00:34:27
Speaker 3: No better to be asked. Sure, but it can't hurt to let them know.

00:34:30
Speaker 5: Hey, I just want to let you know if you're looking for somebody. I love that movie.

00:34:32
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul.

00:34:33
Speaker 6: I'm looking at Will Ferrell's upcoming movies have not been shot yet, and there's a golf one that looks funny. There's another comedy one, like a cop movie that looks funny. But then he's got one I'm not going to give any names. That's like a courtroom drama, serious movie.

00:34:47
Speaker 3: Maybe I could be the judge.

00:34:48
Speaker 6: That's your spot. Okay, yelp, give me a little case dismissed.

00:34:54
Speaker 3: Case dismissed.

00:34:58
Speaker 1: I want order in the court.

00:35:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, audition, thank you, Yes, Marvin.

00:35:02
Speaker 14: Speaking of order, you're best friends with Christopher Maloney from Lorna to SVU. No, maybe you can be like a da not a prosecute.

00:35:11
Speaker 2: Not as good as friends as maybe I thought I was when I when I went over to him and he was having dinner. That's when I tried to show off for my daughters. Because my one daughter has seen every episode. She goes, Dad, you know Chris, you know Christopher Maloney. I go, yeah, yeah, he's been on the show. He's right over there. Well, now you got me, Can we.

00:35:33
Speaker 5: Go say hello?

00:35:34
Speaker 3: I said sure.

00:35:37
Speaker 2: I walk over and I go Chris, and he looks up and he goes hi, And I go oh, I said, Dan Patrick. He goes, oh, okay, I go no, you've been on the show before. He goes yeah, And I can feel like my daughter is pulling me away, just like.

00:36:02
Speaker 3: Let's let's get out of here. Let's get out of here.

00:36:05
Speaker 2: And then, of course we eventually had him back on, and then he apologized.

00:36:08
Speaker 3: Because it was two great actors talking to each other.

00:36:11
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he was acting like he didn't like me, and he did a really good job.

00:36:15
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, hearing your story again, here's your mistake. You didn't say Chris dan Patrick and he would go of course, because sometimes at a restaurant up close, you don't recognize someone in three seconds. I think you should on the Dan Patrick. Of course, Dan, what's up?

00:36:30
Speaker 3: Dp Oh? The voice, I know, I know, like the voice, that's all he needs.

00:36:36
Speaker 6: But Chris Marlone, he didn't have like a gun and badge on him. You might not have recognized him.

00:36:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should have. Should have heard the voice and just that that's it.

00:36:44
Speaker 2: He could have closed his eyes and they go, Dan, is that you Yes it is Chris, Yes, Tom.

00:36:50
Speaker 13: But that wouldn't have impressed your daughter as much if you had to introduce yourself and give a whole backgrook story of whatever. She wants to know that you guys know each other, saying Hey, remember me, I'm this guy and you did my show.

00:36:59
Speaker 2: How about we take break class call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow.
