Hour 3 – Making Your Name, Short Arms

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

00:00:04
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan Nut's Dan Patrick Show. You look at the number of players from each school going to the combine. Texas A and M has thirteen, Ohio State has eleven. And I'm looking at mel Kiper's mock draft. He's got four Ohio State players going in the top seven. You've got Caleb Downs's safety going to the Jets, the Titans with linebacker Orvel Reese, the Browns taking a wide receiver Carnell Tate, the Commander's taking Sonny Styles, a linebacker at number seven. So four of the top seven players Ohio State, and they might have an offensive lineman going at the end of the first round.

00:00:48
Speaker 3: Yes, Martin, if you're an Ohio State fan, does that make you even more said that you didn't win the national titles the Kentucky basketball thing.

00:00:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. Stat of the day brought to you by Panadium. Mayor give the official trading cards of the program and pick up some T shirts at danpatrick dot com. Including the backroom guys have their own T shirt. All their names are on the T shirt and hughes your Daddy the t shirt available from the Olympics at Danpatrick dot com. We will update the poll results. New poll question coming up. And you know, the interesting part with the combine is somebody is going to make a name for themselves. Somebody's going to move into the first round. Maybe a couple players will move into the first round. And this is what I always find interesting. You watch tape, and tape you can't lie. It's I'm watching it. I see it with my own eyes. Instead of I'm watching you at the combine. Now I'm imagining you playing football, so it's different. I see this proof of concept right there in front of me to oh my gosh. And this goes back to Zach Wilson. If you saw the tape at BYU, all right, you saw there was talent there, but I only saw it for a one year and I don't want a one year wonder. And then you saw the pro day. Oh my gosh, did you see what he just did? He rolled left and there's no defenders and he threw back right and he threw it sixty yards. It's nice, but it doesn't mean anything. And I think we get caught up in who can jump the highest run the fastest, who throws the hardest, all of these things. There's certain players in the history of the sport, and if I looked at them at the combine, I wouldn't have drafted them. But when you see them on the football field and you go, how did I not see this? I go back to two players, Steve Largent. I saw Steve play in college and I thought, boy, that guy catches a lot of balls. I didn't think he could play in the NFL. He's a Hall of Famer. And then Jerry Rice, when I first saw him highlights at the combine, I go, I don't know if he could play. He wasn't fast. And then you see him on the football field and he's football fast. Now, Steve Largett wasn't football fast, he was football quick. He was unbelievable in running routes, and so was Jerry. But you're sometimes caught up in oh my god, like the three cone drill doesn't mean anything to me, Really, the forty doesn't mean anything to me. How often do you run forty yards? Not very often. And the fact that the forty yard dash was invented by the great coach Paul Brown because a punt was around forty yards. He wanted to know who was going to get down there on punt coverage, so he came up with a forty yard dash. I'm more concerned with where you are in a five yard window, a ten yard window, because those are real, that's real getting off the line of scrimmage. And there's certain players where you go that guy can't miss. To the other guy where you go, he can't make it, And you're trying to sort through personality traits. And I always say, and I was told this, and I was told this because it actually came true. When you know, my source said, you know with Ryan Leaf, he talked to people who were around Ryan Leaf when he was at Washington State and he was advising a team not to take him. Now, of course he goes second to the Chargers, but you do the background check. Does the guy you know is he well liked, does he love playing? Does he show up early? Is he you know, a true teammate? Is he difficult to coach? Well, that's where you find out your information, the information that he needed. Because the traits were there. Ryan had incredible talent, probably more talent than Peyton, big guy, mobile guy, you know, strong arm, all of that played well in the Rose Bowl, but you're still you're investing. You're investing all of this money or eventually investing two hundred and fifty million dollars, and you got to know who that person is. And it's a person, it's not just a player. Now, Fernando Mendoza seems safe. Do I think he's great. I don't think he's great, but he's safe. And that's you know, when people heard me say this, they're like, why would you make the comparison If Fernando Mendoza had a Joe Flacco career, would you be satisfied? And I said, yes, Joe Flacco had a really good career. You want a Super Bowl. We think the next guy's John Elway, we think the next guy's Tom Brady. They're not. I mean, those players come along, but it's he would be the fourth quarterback drafted, maybe the fifth quarterback drafted if we go back a couple of years ago. But this year he stands out. Was he you know, big and big moments. Absolutely, But I think if you're thinking that he's changing the game or he's going to be something, I mean, he's not Josh Allen. He's not Joe Burrow, not Lamar Jackson, He's not Mahomes, but maybe somewhere in that. You know, if you're in that area code, you'll take that. But he might be in that next level down and he's playing for the Raiders. I don't know what you're going to have there. Offensive line, got a new coach in there. Is Ashton Genty going to be a great player? Are you going to trade your best defensive player? Brock Bauers comes back. So there's a lot of questions there. But you got the safest pick probably in the draft. But if you're my bar is higher. You know when I look at these quarterbacks that you want them to be difference makers. I don't want you to be a game manager. And he may turn out to be that way. I mean, Joe Flacco wasn't the guy that you were going to scheme against. But Joe Burrow was great in the playoffs, or I should say Joe Flacco was great in the playoffs and he won a Super Bowl. And I think that's the important part. Do we have somebody we can plug in for the next ten years, twelve years? And if the Raiders have found that quarterback, good for them, because that's Arizona thought they had their quarterback with Kyler Murray. Miami thought they had their quarterback. I mean truly thought, and they invested in them. That's why it is really tricky. It's still and always will be an inexact science because it's coach GM, offensive coordinator, offensive line, who do you have, skilled position, how tough is your division? Like all of these things. You've got to factor these things in. It's not just hey, we're gonna draft this guy and we're gonna let him play well. It seems like, you know, these guys, GMS are giving you two years, maybe maybe three at the most. I mean, Josh Rosen didn't even get that will Levis, Malik Willis. They move on quickly, which is amazing, the most important position in all of sports. And we have one good quarterback who is in this year's draft, maybe two in Ty Simpson. So the most important, well paid position in all of sports. And you got one quarterback who is a first round, guaranteed first round. I don't know if Ty Simpson is. He might be out of you know, by by necessity, by default. But that's what I find amazing. There's always running back. There's always wide receivers, there's always edge rushers. You got one quarterback, yes, Marvin.

00:09:05
Speaker 3: And I think that's why you see this year with Sam Darnold, the Jets, in the Browns, you get drafted by them, You're like, oh, you're already behind the eight ball because you got drafted to certain franchises, and so I think that hurts.

00:09:17
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, who you go to. And then you know, losing is systemic and you can't get it out. It's permeated in the building. You can't get rid of the smell by opening the window, and that's part of the problem. And the Raiders fall into that, the Jets certainly fall into that, Arizona falls into that. I still have hopes for Cleveland, but that's really based on if Deshaun Watson can play, and you were smart with your first round draft picks. Okay, now you've got a chance to, I think, be a competitive team. And I know, look, we laugh at the Browns, and rightfully so the quarterbacking situation, Yeah, they have three quarterbacks, which means they don't have one and that's a concern. But I think if you've got Deshaun Watson and he's healthy, let's see if he can play.

00:10:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauline, you're talking about perceptions of quarterbacks like Mendoza if he goes one overall, which you will look at Jared Goff twenty sixteen draft. He was a bit of a surprise at the number one pick. Number two is Carson Wentz form one double a school, Jared Goff? How would you grade his career as of today? He did get his team to the Super Bowl that drafted him, they didn't win it. He gets traded. He's got the Lions competitive every year, but they haven't won it.

00:10:35
Speaker 2: But it's a pretty good career. Is it is a pay underline Hall of Famer?

00:10:43
Speaker 4: He would need a Super Bowl win and Super Bowl MVP to be considered, okay, but he's had a positive career.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that okay. If you're Fernando Mendoza and I said that's going to be your career, you take that career in a second. You went to a Super Bowl, You've played at a really high level for two team two teams, and you play it. You know you're still playing at a high level. So I think the expectation level with Fernando Mendoz that might be unrealistic to start. Maybe the first two years. But that's why you know, you have to modify it, you know, compared to where he's going. You know, the quarterback who falls in the draft usually ends up in a better situation because expectation is lower. You're gonna sit for a little while you can absorb the game. I mean, even Mahomes, he sat behind Alex Smith for a year. You know, Brady told me that years ago if he had to start right away, he'd be out of the league. He wasn't ready to play. Yes, Marv, but.

00:11:45
Speaker 3: If you draft, if you have the number one draft pick, aren't you looking to draft a future Hall of famer or are you just looking to pick the player that fits your team and your system.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: Well, I think you. If it's a quarterback, you hope he's a Hall of famer. But I have to have a Hall of Fame city there. I have to have that soft cushion for him. And I'm not changing offensive coordinators every other year. I mean that's another thing with Philadelphia with Jalen Hurts. How many offensive coordinators has he had? And if you keep changing it over and over and over and over, it's really difficult. You've got to have sustainability. There and certainly at that position with your offensive coordinator, your quarterbacks coach, and your head coach as well. Right sneaking a couple of phone calls here, Uh David in Ohio? Hi David, what's on your mind today?

00:12:37
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:12:37
Speaker 6: Dan?

00:12:37
Speaker 5: This comments for Todd.

00:12:39
Speaker 1: Todd.

00:12:39
Speaker 7: I think I know what Marvin's favorite Bond Jobe song is. It's lay your small hands on me.

00:12:48
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, David. Hand size and arm length. It's going to be big the next few days there at the combine. Josh and Charleston. Hi, Josh, what's on your mind? I can't hear you, by the way, this just came out, Daniel Jeremiah NFL Network Reuben Bain Junior, the third who's probably going in the top three. He has his arms are not even thirty one inches long Bolsiver wow hand size nine and an eighth, but his arm length is thirty and seven eight inches. Sub thirty one inch arms would be the third shortest for an edge rusher since the NFL started tracking arm length in nineteen ninety nine. Statle Today brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. So Ruben Bain is an overachiever because despite the short arms, he was a beast in college. Ruben Bain Junior, the third, he doesn't even have arms that measure thirty one inches. We're gonna call him the alligator. His arms are South Florida.

00:14:30
Speaker 8: The crocodile.

00:14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, the alligator. It's a done to deal with crooks who have already got the commercial money.

00:14:38
Speaker 8: Yes, Tom, the bane of his existence.

00:14:41
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, all right, Tod, thank you. Oh my god, I don't know how real this topic is now it is for us. It's fun for us. You know, hand size, all of that. Who's on the show tomorrow, Todd.

00:14:59
Speaker 8: We're going to talk to Day Jeremiah, big shot, Bob Robert Ory.

00:15:02
Speaker 2: Okay, arms so, Bob or he's probably got seven foot wingspan, massive hands to I bet probably. I don't know about Daniel Jeremiah. But Daniel Jeremiah, we'll ask him. Is this real? Where your arms?

00:15:16
Speaker 8: You know?

00:15:17
Speaker 2: Bill laine Beer had short arms. I remember, uh, but as an edge rushing I think he still does. Yes, he can change. I make it seem like have you seen Bill laane Beer lately? Man? His arms are long?

00:15:29
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul Robert Ory and an NBA drafts.

00:15:33
Speaker 2: Not surprised, not surprised. Who That'll be a topic of conversation tomorrow.

00:15:40
Speaker 3: Yes, Mark, for Reuben's sake, I really hope he's not like a half an inch away from sacking the quarterback or reaching the quarterback. All of his arms are longer. He would have got him little.

00:15:50
Speaker 2: T Rex arms, the alligator. Oh yeah, he could be t Rex. Yes, huh?

00:15:54
Speaker 8: And do you play Crocodile Rock on the loudspeakers?

00:15:57
Speaker 2: And I see what you're doing here. It works, shopping it. Yeah, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. We just talked about Ruben Bain Junior, who's going to be a top three pick probably and his sub thirty one inch arms would be the shortest for an edge rusher since the NFL started tracking in nineteen ninety nine. This just in from the Texas A and M defensive End, courtesy of Daniel Jeremiah Cash is how the shortest ever for an edge in history. It's thirty in a quarter inch arms. What is going on? It's a short arm. Ruben Bain is happy that the cash is Howel's arms are thirty and a quarter inches long. Yes, tuh, how are you gonna.

00:17:39
Speaker 8: Play with arms that short?

00:17:40
Speaker 2: I know what you did and what you did with that. See what you did with that man arm length. We're gonna measure ours today and then I think we're all longer than ruben Bain and cash is howe. I don't know how we prepare for this, the arm measurement, but uh, we're gonna do it. It won't have the same impact as the hand size. It won't no, I'm sorry, Marvin. Even if your arms are longer than seating, it still doesn't matter. When we go to Pittsburgh for the draft, people are gonna come up and put their hands up. Marvin's gonna think they want to high five, and they were like, no, we want to measure our hands with the worst.

00:18:21
Speaker 8: Like, oh, high five, Mark, No, I want to know high five from you? My four favorite.

00:18:26
Speaker 2: Yes, PAULI.

00:18:26
Speaker 4: I've got a list of all the defensive ends in history since ninety nine when they started measuring. Who have measured thirty three or under? Trey Hendrickson thirty two inch arms? Very good career. How about Anthony Aiden Hutchinson thirty two and a half? Great career debunks the theory, does it? Oh that's a full debunking Aiden Hutcherson.

00:18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, and people are gonna say, well, Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald was a nose tackle. This is an edge rusher. Aaron Donald was just based on power going up the middle. Edge rusher, getting your arms around, you know, an offensive lineman getting leverage. Who has the longest arms since they've been tracking since nineteen ninety nine.

00:19:13
Speaker 4: Okay, I have it. He played for a smaller school down South. He had a very good career.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: Javon curse.

00:19:20
Speaker 4: No, that's a good guess. I don't have I don't think curse is on here because of when he was drafted. Okay, amongst the longest Josh Sweat thirty four and a half. Okay, this guy Jason Pierre Paul, South Florida, thirty four and three quarters.

00:19:38
Speaker 2: But they were counting two different names there, Jason and Pierre the hyphen Yeah, so they combined him. So those are long arms. Jason and his brother Pierre Paul was Sweat, the guy that Patriots took. Oh no, Josh who was the offensive lineman? Remember the Rams like laughed at the pa Patriots reached for this guy. Do you remember Strange? Oh col Strange? Okay, all right, all right, Josh Sweat, Yeah, who's laughing?

00:20:09
Speaker 5: Now?

00:20:10
Speaker 2: Yeah? Who else you got in there? Point, there's there's a bunch of guys. There's a there's how long are these arms?

00:20:19
Speaker 4: Thirty almost thirty five inches for Jason Pierre Paul. That's the longest measure since ninety nine.

00:20:25
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, but.

00:20:26
Speaker 8: It's a mix.

00:20:27
Speaker 4: There's guys who were great with thirty three in charms overcame adversity of being short armed in all.

00:20:32
Speaker 2: Part of the story. Tyler in North Carolina. Hi, Tyler, what's on your mind?

00:20:38
Speaker 5: A DP six?

00:20:43
Speaker 10: Thank you, Love you guys, But I was just thinking, so do you guys keep talking about Mendoza being a surefire number one pick? If if the Raiders are such a bad place for a quarterback like that, what if they go bang number one to either offset Crosby or replace Cross need to get rid of him. And I'll sit back and listen.

00:21:02
Speaker 2: To you guys. Well, I mentioned would you at least entertain trading the number one pick? But you know, if somebody would be willing to overpay in a draft where there aren't quarterbacks, I think it'd be crazy to not at least entertain that. But the Raiders don't think the Raiders are bad when it comes to, you know, drafting players. I mean we do, but if you can get Mendoza, the only thing I would say, It's the same thing I said about Andrew Luck all those years. Why did you Why did you draft him? You know, spend that money and then you didn't have a good offensive line and it eventually led to him retiring early and Mendoza coming in there. I mean, I hope he doesn't start right away, but he probably will. Mike and Kentucky, I might.

00:21:58
Speaker 7: You know a t rex as they're still pretty ferocious, right.

00:22:02
Speaker 2: Well, no, they're gone, they're extinct.

00:22:06
Speaker 5: But I called is.

00:22:08
Speaker 7: Brady had a terrible combine as I remember, I remember watching him run the forty and he needed a sun.

00:22:13
Speaker 5: Diw at a time.

00:22:15
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, he looked like he was on a bender that weekend or something. He looked like he'd had a few beers. He showed up, you know, he disheveled.

00:22:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, PAULI I went and looked for players who had bad combines, great career. One that stood out was Antonio Brown, the wide receiver. All his numbers were in the bottom third of wide receivers running in the combine, performing in the combine that year. He had a borderline Hall of Fame career.

00:22:42
Speaker 2: Yeah he was on his way. Yeah, yeah, he had a six year run. If he wasn't the best receiver, he was in the conversation, Wow, yes, Marv.

00:22:58
Speaker 3: Is the borderline only because of the it ended, Because I'm those six years should put you in.

00:23:05
Speaker 2: But it's not like he was injured the way Trel Davis was No.

00:23:08
Speaker 8: No, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, just the way things ended.

00:23:10
Speaker 2: And Gail sayers they got injured and therefore their careers were cut short. I still maintain Antonio Brown when he got hit in the Bengals game avontez perfect. I just don't think he was ever the same after that.

00:23:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paully, Antonio Brown had seven hundred and fifty catches in six seasons. He was first team All Pro four seasons in a row. No one's ever done that and not made the Hall of Fame ever. But he gave the finger to the entire NFL and people don't like that, and he continues to do so, He's gonna get no sentiment.

00:23:50
Speaker 2: Patton Pennsylvania, Hi, Pat, what's on your mind? Dan?

00:23:54
Speaker 5: I have another combine metric for you. Okay, Secretary was centered tremendous force, but its heart was twice the size or whatever it was than a regular horse. What if the combines put these athletes through either a scan or a seat to see how big there are?

00:24:11
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know what kind of measurables they do when they do the medicals.

00:24:17
Speaker 4: How high is your motor?

00:24:18
Speaker 2: I don't know if they look to see how big your heart is. And enlarged heart seem like a bad thing. Not at the combine. Dan, that guy, he's all heart, he is all hard. He's got too much heart. Yes, Tod, you could.

00:24:35
Speaker 8: Have a big heart because you could use it for some horrible reasons. Though that's not going to tell you anything.

00:24:40
Speaker 6: You got have a big heart and size wise, but there are some terrible people out there that might have a big heart that.

00:24:45
Speaker 8: Could just be used for negative things.

00:24:49
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're saying. What are you saying?

00:24:53
Speaker 8: I don't know what I'm saying.

00:24:53
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Todd. Yes, Marvin more and.

00:24:59
Speaker 8: More Fritzy is the most negative person I might know.

00:25:03
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, Paulie used to be the king and Fritzy kicked him to the curve loop past me. Yes, paul finally wore him down. Yes I was. Paul's greatest triumph is ruining Todd. He helped. But you're right, when we how many times do we say, why do you think see it from that angle negativity? I wasn't always this way, But what changed?

00:25:32
Speaker 8: I don't know.

00:25:33
Speaker 6: I think over time you think we go lucky, Wait, we got lucky, But I was a lot happier.

00:25:38
Speaker 2: I definitely had to go. You didn't get lucky, especially living with your mom.

00:25:45
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I've heard Fritzy's story about growing up and his mother a hundred times here, and I think Todd has a fear based mentality and a be careful. Negative things will happen to you if you leave the house, if you try things, negative things, And I think he got that from his mother.

00:26:00
Speaker 8: Would be fair to.

00:26:01
Speaker 2: Say, Yeah, I would say being around your mom, I could see where she was always it was if you're going out, you know, you could fall down the steps, or you know, if you're going on the subway, don't stand close to the tracks. I knew somebody who got pushed in the train.

00:26:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm a lot more careful and cautious.

00:26:18
Speaker 2: Probably a lot of stories growing up that your mom would, you know, warn you about her caution.

00:26:23
Speaker 8: You because anything she said. I'm waiting for the.

00:26:29
Speaker 2: Jared in South Dakota, Hi, Jared, what's on your mind today?

00:26:34
Speaker 7: What's up?

00:26:34
Speaker 5: DP?

00:26:35
Speaker 11: You guys talking wingspan? Stan mentioned the Air Jordan poster. He's got his arms out of plumbing the basketball. In middle school, my locker room had a kenmen mctumble poster with his full birth name on it. My buddy and I skipped half a football practice to memorize. It's still got it twenty six years later to Kemen mtumble, my mcumba, Jean Jacques Wama tumba greatest poster ever.

00:26:59
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jared Dan and Naples, Florida.

00:27:02
Speaker 11: Hi, Dan, Hey, Currently, just a quick question from Marvin.

00:27:08
Speaker 12: I just want to know what do the potato chips taste like at the bottom of a pringles?

00:27:12
Speaker 6: Can?

00:27:17
Speaker 8: These are all so hurtful but accurate?

00:27:20
Speaker 2: Can you get your hand into a pringle candistry?

00:27:24
Speaker 8: I'd rather not say.

00:27:25
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a yes. He might not be alone at night, Seaton. Can you get your hand into a pringle? Candid?

00:27:32
Speaker 13: Ida admit I haven't tried in a while, but I wouldn't be surprised if I can sort of.

00:27:38
Speaker 2: At least condensed, pretty boy impact. That was sneaky good sneaky good by Dan, uh trip in Vegas.

00:27:47
Speaker 7: Good morning trip, Good morning Dan. Seventy six inches saw eighty inch reach. I had a question about we're talking about the combine, how about the next thing? So it went from hands to arms. When are they going to do head size.

00:28:06
Speaker 2: I don't know if they do headsize. Now you'll when you're getting your helmet or your baseball hat, then we find out what your head size is, because I would always be curious about guys who were in eight head. There was a picture for the White Sox James Baldwin and he had an eight head.

00:28:29
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:28:30
Speaker 2: Who's who's the manager for the Giants? Bruce Bochie? Eight head?

00:28:35
Speaker 4: Eight plus?

00:28:36
Speaker 2: Yes, you could put a six pack of beer with ice into his hat. Arguably one of the coolest things in baseball history. Yeah, I mean it's gonna come in handy, Like, what are you going to use that hat for? Uh, we can use it for a cooler. I can get a six pack in here, put some ice in the air as well. And eight head much better than that, I don't know. And Satan would win the head off huge head.

00:29:04

Speaker 2: I'll be ready with our combine numbers for tomorrow when Daniel Jeremiah joins US. I've tuned into two basket ball games in the last two nights, Notre Dame against Duke and Connecticut against Saint John's. Now I need Saint John's to play Notre Dame after what happened to both of those teams. They are terrible. I mean the fact that Notre Dame lost by what's sixty at home to Duke, and then Saint John's had they didn't even score forty against Connecticut.

00:33:24
Speaker 8: Yes, Marvin, actually they score forty on the dot.

00:33:26
Speaker 2: Oh they did? Okay, Oh okay, well then it's okay. They missed their final twenty four field goal attempt. Said that game, it's not ideal. And Saint John's had won thirteen in a row. That's the amazing part. You were playing well. Notre Dame's not a very good team, yes, Ton.

00:33:46
Speaker 6: When you lose that bad, is it worth even screaming and yelling at the team afterwards?

00:33:51
Speaker 8: To be that bad? You're probably better off.

00:33:52
Speaker 6: Just leaving and saying nothing would make more of a statement than to start yelling at them from missing all those shots.

00:33:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it's one moment that you can yell at him. But I mean, if you're gonna, if you have a film session like you do, you just play it and then you don't say anything. Because I don't I don't even know what you could say. I would just make them sit through it with the commercials too. I'm gonna make it, you know, two hours. Just sit in there. You just sit in there right now, Yes, Marvin.

00:34:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you lose a bad game, that's the worst part. Film session is going to be terrible because you already feel bad enough, but now we have to relive it the entire thing.

00:34:34

Speaker 12: I'm a beleaguer, Padres and Chargers fan, but calling about I grew up swimming and playing Waterfolo. Some of these guys have arms that are longer than their that touched the ground. How would Michael Phelps translate in this conversation? His hands and arms are massive.

00:35:06
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure that he would do well if he was going to the swimming combine too long, yeah yeah yeah, arms, his feet too big? Hands too big? Yeah, I'll bet his wingspan is probably close to seven feet, yes, PAULI.

00:35:25
Speaker 4: According to the USOC, they actually have this his wingspan. Michael Phelps is listed at six to four his height. His wingspan is just over six feet seven inches.

00:35:34
Speaker 2: What that's it?

00:35:38
Speaker 4: And he overcame that to have a pretty good career.

00:35:40
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that his wingspan's only six This is from the USOC. I'm not believing them. Sorry, I'll call him again. Sorry, just not going to believe. Then, this day in sports history? Got anything good?

00:35:55

I would Chris Shinkle and uh, but it might have been wide world of sports maybe, But I remember watching bowling and uh Earl Anthony Leftander and uh Mark Roth. I think Don Don Johnson from Cocomo, Indiana. I think, yeah, I don't know why, and I wasn't a bowler. I didn't like bowling. Is that what the beach boys are actually singing about? Going to Coco? I think his name was Don Johnson from Cocomo.

Speaker 2: Oh, and then they would talk about oiling the lanes. And I have friends who were big bowlers. Are we staying in our I'm never staying in my leg. You get to dry your hand off on the little air or swing your arm after where the ball would come up, and sometimes you know, be like you're waiting for it, waiting for it, and it'd be like your fingers pinched a little bit away, so nobody saw. Nobody saw that. I've been eating French fries this whole time, drinking beer with my left hand.

00:40:09
Speaker 8: They have those special little wrist armbands.

00:40:13
Speaker 2: Had one of those. Oh yeah, I had the the arm brace. Yeah. Uh. What did we learn on today's program? I don't know if we learned anything, Todd.

00:40:23
