Hour 1 – Happy Birthday DP!, NFL Opening Game Drama

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

00:00:04
Speaker 2: We did it. We made it to a Friday, And in case you're wondering, it is a meat Friday. At that come on in stay a while. The gang's all here ready to go. Chef Greg is here from Rectech and I do have the menu that was just sent to me. Chicken leg lollipops, party ribs, a meat cake that includes cheese, pizza, wagu brisket, pulled pork, burnt in hallopanio poppers, and chicken lollipops. What has it better than we do?

00:00:43
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:00:44
Speaker 2: Well you get the theme here right, Yeah, it's a birthday cake. It's a birthday cake. Thank you, Paul, Happy birthday, Buddy, Happy thank you. Todd. Yes, big seven ozer today. And that's when you say, boy, you don't look at thank you, although nobody said that today. When I walked in, Pauly goes, this is a big one.

00:01:09
Speaker 4: Huh.

00:01:09
Speaker 2: I go, yeah, he goes, all right, happy birthday. And I was waiting for something a little more like, Man, you don't act like I don't act like I'm seventy. I might look like I'm seventy, walk like I'm seventy.

00:01:22
Speaker 5: Yes, bo I did say I think you're in better shape now than you were ten years ago.

00:01:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I meant it.

00:01:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were some issues you had ten years ago and now you're flying around.

00:01:33
Speaker 2: Actually, fifteen years ago is when this first hit me. And autoimmune doesn't leave you know, I keep asking, will you please leave? And he's always there, always going to be there. Yes, Tom, there's so much more fun to be around. And you don't look at day past sixty three to me. And if you did what a lot of people do in this business with the whole hair dye thing, you'd probably be too late, too late.

00:01:54
Speaker 3: I tried, you did.

00:01:56
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards the Dan Patrick Show giving away a Rectech grill.

Dan Patrick, Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock, come on in to our man cave, unlike any other man cave in America in the world, perhaps we say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And our radio affiliates. We have four over four hundred radio affiliates around the country. Rich Eisen NFL Network and the Mothership joins us in studio a little bit later on Scott van Pelda the Mothership from the PGA Championship and Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback. He'll look at the schedule release the announcement the Patriots will be at the Seahawks. I don't know if anybody is asking for a Super Bowl rematch. I certainly wasn't, but you always gift the defending Super Bowl champs the home opener starting the season. I probably would have looked at a maybe a little better match up there, But you're gonna get eyes on this game anyway, because it's the first game of the regular season. Now you throw in the Mike Vrabel element here that might be more interesting than the Super Bowl rematch here because I didn't like the Super Bowl, therefore, I'm not that interested in a Super Bowl rematch here, but gives Seattle a chance if they want to raise the banner. They have a big night. They have the day night to themselves, so Seattle will open up the festivities against the Patriots. Yes, Dylan, would.

00:03:52
Speaker 6: You like to guess the line on that game?

00:03:54
Speaker 4: Then?

00:03:55
Speaker 2: Now? I did not know this. Dylan, who is part of the Gambling podcast, says, there are betting lines on every single game already the entire season. You can find a betting line.

00:04:07
Speaker 3: Yep.

00:04:08
Speaker 6: DraftKings has every single game for the entire NFL season. You can go bet it right now.

00:04:14
Speaker 2: Okay, but let's say the is it Steelers Broncos on Black Friday?

00:04:20
Speaker 3: Yep?

00:04:21
Speaker 2: Can you get the betting line there for me? For that?

00:04:24
Speaker 6: I got it right here.

00:04:25
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:04:26
Speaker 6: It is Broncos minus one and a half at the Stillers.

00:04:30
Speaker 2: Okay, that's wild because I guess we assume Rogers is going to play. I don't know when Patrick Mahomes is going to play. Would you give me the betting lines for the Chiefs first three games? Because if it's not Patrick Mahomes and it's justin Fields, that's probably a four or five point spread there. Change, Yes, still.

00:04:52
Speaker 6: Well, I can actually give you the first five games then, since I have them right here. Okay, Shockingly, the Chiefs are favored in every single one of those games there. Minus two and a half against the Broncos Week one, then minus five and a half against the Colts, minus seven at the Dolphins, minus five and a half at the Raiders, and then minus two and a half back home against the Chargers.

00:05:13
Speaker 2: But is that where you kind of load up on Denver and maybe hope that Mahomes is not playing.

00:05:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're sort of. I mean, it's a you know, like if trading futures, you're basically waiting for things that are undetermined right now to pan out and sort of getting ahead of the game. People will do that and sell their ticket, you know, like on prop Swapper one of those sites if you just have a good feeling about it.

00:05:37
Speaker 2: The amount of primetime games the Rams have seven Packers, Chiefs, Bill Seahawks, six, Cowboys, five, Eagles, Bears, Pats, Niners five four primetime games, Vikings, Giants, Steelers, Ravens, Lions, Texans, Commanders, the Jags, Broncos, Bengals, Falcons, Panthers, Chargers, Bucks get three primetime games. Colts get two, Saints and Browns get one shut out. Jets, Cardinals, Titans, Dolphins, Raiders. Now I was thinking about with the Raiders. If this was arch Manning with the Raiders, the Raiders would be getting some primetime games because we would be under the impression that arch Manning would be starting for the Raiders week one. Fernando Mendoza probably not starting, and by the time he does start, the Raiders might not be in a position to be a formidable opponent to somebody later in the season. Let's say Mendoza starts in week thirteen and you've got five wins. Now you still want to see Mendoza. But the reason why they don't have any primetime games is they have Kirk Cousins. They won't have Mendoza starting there. But I think that's interesting. The Dolphins not Musty TV cam Ward. I think if they had gotten Jeremiah Love, I think that they would have gotten a primetime game. The Cardinals Jeremiah Love and they don't have a primetime game. And then you have the Jets. All right, you can sleep on the Jets this year, but next year, the Jets are going to get at least three primetime games next year. Well, I'm just if they continue this path. They had a good draft. Now, if they do things right now, they might get a little better than they want to, so they can't get the quarterback that they really won, and then you'd have Geno, you know for your year two with the Jets. Yes, Paul, that's a.

00:07:32
Speaker 5: National judgment of your franchise. Though the amount of National TV games you have the Jets, that's a monster market. They have to find a way to be so bad they can't get a National TV.

00:07:41
Speaker 2: Easiest schedules Cleveland Browns, easiest schedule, they'll need it, the Saints. Then it's the Bengals, Falcons, Colts, Lions, Texans, Titans, Ravens, Eagles. That's the top ten. How about toughest toughest schedule, Pauli's Chicago Bears. Then it's the Dolphins, Arizona, Green Bay, Kansas City, the Patriots, Raiders, and the Buffalo Bills.

00:08:17
Speaker 7: Stall of a Day, Stanna Day, Stall of a Day, Stana Day.

00:08:23
Speaker 2: This is the stule.

00:08:24
Speaker 7: Of the day.

00:08:29
Speaker 2: If you're the Dolphins, you're okay with a tough schedule. I don't think you want to win too many games this upcoming season, and the Cardinals as well. Kind of want to be on the clock get your quarterback in both cases here unless you believe in you know, Malik Willis, you know, as a long term solution. Seahawks Patriots marks the third time in NFL history there will be a rematch from the previous season super Bowl in Week one, Broncos Panthers Week one twenty sixteen, and then the Chiefs and the Vikings met Week one in nineteen seventy after meeting in the super Bowl the previous season. I don't think the Patriots make the playoffs. I don't think the Bears make the playoffs. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. I look at the Patriots. Now, Okay, there's drama, but I don't know how it reflects on the football team. You have the Mike Brabel and I don't know if anything else I was going to say, another shoe drop feels like it's a closet full of shoes that have dropped already. The Patriots opened the season against Seattle. Then they got the Steelers, Jags, and Bills. So that's the most difficult strength of schedule the first four games since nineteen eighty six, when the Eagles had a winning percentage with their opponents of over seven hundred.

00:10:03
Speaker 8: Startup today, startup today, STATU the day, SATA today, statut day, start today, startup to day, start to day.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: Alrighty, we got basketball coming up tonight, a pair of game sixes. Looking at the point spreads. The Spurs are now favored by five and a half. It was four and a half yesterday, and the Pistons are getting three and a half against the Cavaliers. Uh, Fritzy's here, Dylan's here, Marv paul yours truly backroom guys as well, and you at home or on the road pull question for the first hour of the program.

00:10:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, Dan Wilsonce, we're just talking about the season opener. Who would you rather see the Seahawks play in the season opener? Chiefs, Cowboys, Rams, are forty nine ers. These are all teams they'll be playing at home this season.

00:10:51
Speaker 2: Well, they can't do the Rams or forty nine ers because they're in Australia. Yeah, you don't. I don't want to waste a Cowboys game opening. Chiefs. We don't know if Mahomes is gonna play. It feels like you can put. I mean, you want to have a great game, but I don't know if it matters that much because you're gonna watch it's the first game, standalone game. I mean, I don't want to see Seattle against Arizona, but I would. I mean, I'd be Jeremiah Love would be interesting to see against that Seattle defense. But I don't want to waste games. I think there's a curiosity factor. And once again it goes back to Mike Brabel. Your girlfriends or your wives may not have had any idea who Mike Brabel was or cared about Mike Brabel, and he was in the Super Bowl last year. Now you might get curiosity seekers here maybe, and hopefully it's a good game. Yes, Bully, how is that story covered? Well, that's what I want to know leading up to that game, and that's on NBC. How does NBC Football Night in America cover that? As far as doing a feature? Do you get to sit down with Rabel? You're going to talk to the coach? What do you ask the coach? I think you do you do something chronologically about Super Bowl everything that's happened. Hopefully nothing else happens. If you're a Patriots fan, or Mike Brabel, But how much? Boy? I think you got to be fair and say how much of a sports story is this? Because that's that was my approach when we, you know, the story first happened. I really have to look at it as a sports story. I don't know Mike Rabel, I know Diana Rassini, and I was trying to be fair to TMZ. Everybody else can cover that part of it. That I had to look at the sports element here and my my viewpoint, my angle was is Rabel what kind of information was he sharing because he's you know, clearly sharing information with a reporter. How did that affect how'd that impact players? Teams?

00:13:13
Speaker 4: You know?

00:13:13
Speaker 2: That was the interesting part. Now we haven't really heard much people are you know, combing the internet going back and looking at interviews, comments, situations when he was in Tennessee and you know, are you helping steer somebody your team away from your team getting a job going through the media? Yes, Dylan.

00:13:35
Speaker 6: Now we've obviously got like a few months before the season starts, which in internet years is like an eternity. Do you think if nothing else comes out about this, it sort of dies down by the season, or is it kind of going to go dormant and then ramp up again when the season starts.

00:13:49
Speaker 2: I think when when you sit down and you talk to him, when you talked of Rabel, I mean, you have to ask, and it's the distraction question, how how much of a distraction? I don't want to say has this been a distraction because it's easy for Mike were able to go it hasn't how much of it? Just now he can still say it hasn't been. But I want to help him along a little bit and say how much of a distraction has this been? And you might get one question and they might put a kapper on this. With the Patriots, they are pretty tough when it comes to when you go in there and ask questions.

00:14:32
Speaker 6: Yes, Dylan, there might be some interesting road games this season. Oh absolutely, I mean, look at what the Chargers did. Yeah, Chargers play the Patriots. They came out with their schedule release, they went there. Albert Breer I think said he was like, there'll be definitely at least one team that does something.

00:14:52
Speaker 2: Yes, and the Chargers play the Patriots. It'd be great if they open the season against each other. With the schedule, that would have been a lot of fun, Yes, Todd.

00:15:02
Speaker 9: If you ask the distraction question and the Patriots allow it, and they allow say a second question or a follow up, what exactly would be that follow up with when Mike Rabel says, I'm like, you know what, it's been a bit of a distraction, I made some poor choice or whatever he says. But we move on and we're ready to and we're excited to start the season. Then what would be an acceptable follow up question today?

00:15:20
Speaker 2: What was the message you sent to your team when you got them together? Now, once again, when you do these interviews, they're taped, like my interviews are ninety nine point nine percent live, and you'll hear a question, you'll hear an answer, and normally you might take that out. If I'm doing an interview like I did during the Super Bowl week where I sat down with Tom Brady before they played the Eagles, well you might take out a question or an answer just because it wasn't good. And that might be the case that Let's say you send Jason Garrett to Foxborough to sit down with Mike Vrabel like coach to coach, and you asked that question, you don't get a good answer out of it, now you might leave it in because you want people to know that you at least asked the question, because that happens a lot of times on this show. You're going to ask a question. You may not get a good answer, but you want to at least be on record as trying to get a good answer. Somebody who's forthcoming going to share something there. But Football Night in America, I think you got to broach the topic. Maybe you know from ten thousand feet broach the topic, but I mean we've seen Super Bowl runner up teams that lose that don't make the playoffs the following year. That used to be a big trend. Yes, Dylan.

00:16:42
Speaker 6: And if I'm like Rable, when I get asked that question, that is it hasn't been a distraction, I'm just gonna be like, no, not really.

00:16:50
Speaker 2: How has it been a distraction?

00:16:52
Speaker 4: Is?

00:16:52
Speaker 10: How?

00:16:53
Speaker 6: Is what I would say. I'd be like, it hasn't. I don't know what you're talking about.

00:16:56
Speaker 2: Okay, Then I would say, have you you know, how did you talk to your address this topic with your team.

00:17:05
Speaker 6: I'm going to invoke the Fifth Amendment. I'm not answering any questions.

00:17:09
Speaker 5: Yes, bo, I think if Mike Rabel took that path, it would make the situation worse. If he was defiant and blew it off, it would actually make it worse for himself.

00:17:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you got to get it out of the way. You know, maybe maybe you have somebody who looks at it as you take. Maybe it's a sympathetic approach that Okay, man, he's gone through a lot. Hey, it's unfortunate for a lot of people involved. But you know what, I hope to be a better man, better husband, better coach like you can give. You can dress it up a little bit and come out a little bit better, a little bit better. Maybe not with the wives in the audience, don't don't plead the fifth that never goes well.

00:17:53
Speaker 6: They're not going to care what his answer is though. Anyways, like it's ever, the court of public opinion has made its mind.

00:18:00
Speaker 2: Tree and fans don't care. No, they didn't care from the jump, nationally don't care. Yes, John, But he could.

00:18:05
Speaker 3: Also say what he's already said.

00:18:06
Speaker 9: You know what, we've had some I've had some uncomfortable personal conversations. I'll leave that in the locker room between me and my players and the story.

00:18:12
Speaker 2: How about we take a break we got phone calls coming up. Settle on a poll question, busy show this Meet Friday. We're back after this.

DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot Com Twitter handle. A DP show operator Tyler is sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Best video release schedule. Video Release Raiders did a really good job they did Step Brothers, and I thought Mendoza and Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins. I think he's going to be a great mentor to Fernando Mendoza, I really do. I think they're very similar people, and I think that helps, you know, It's not like, yes, there's the age difference, but I feel like they're probably both going to get in his mini van and go to Kohle's and get some plaid shirts. I really do. But Step Brothers can't go wrong. One of my favorite movies, Chargers. I expected the Chargers to be an assassin and they were. Who'd you have? Trevor Lawrence? Did he cut his hair? You know? I think I think most of us went and he's not cutting his hair, not for a schedule release video.

00:20:20
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, there's a lot of mixed reports about Trevor Lawrence's hair, and his journalists were on this story. It looks like he may have.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be disappointed. Yeah, I think the Prince, you know, with that hair, his hair cut, flowing out of the back of his helmet. I remember Freddy bolitnikoff with the Raiders. I don't know how much hair he had on the top of his head. But when you have a helmet, that's all you need to have that party in the back. And Freddie Bolittnikoff, he looked faster because he had the hair flowing. I think Golden Richards with the Cowboys might have had a little flow as well, a little hustle and flow.

00:20:59
Speaker 5: Yes, Paulie, some of these videos must take months and writes and producing. The Nampis Colts did one with the Simpsons. You and it looks like a feature film. It's unbelievable, all right, get some phone calls in here. Any other video releases that stood out, Yes, Dylan, I.

00:21:17
Speaker 6: Saw the Bucks. They did a Baywatch Dude edition. The Bert Kreischer was in there with Baker Mayfield and some of the offensive linemen.

00:21:27
Speaker 2: Nobody was more disappointed than Fritzie when he heard the Baywatch theme. And then he clicks on and he says, a bunch of dudes.

00:21:35
Speaker 6: Harry chest and.

00:21:36
Speaker 2: Running in slow Buddha and San Francisco leads us off, Hi, Buddha, what's on your mind today?

00:21:46
Speaker 7: Nobody? Happy meet Friday Boys. Let's go Birthday Boy release Companio DP. I hope you enjoy some great tequila tonight. And Dan quick to comment on the poll question from yesterday about Lebron. I hope the Lakers move on and get this view run flash era started. Man, I mean it's time. And honestly, if Lebron moves on with he could win a fourth championship with another franchise, which we're make it four different teams. I mean, what's wrong with that?

00:22:19
Speaker 4: That's all good.

00:22:20
Speaker 7: And I have to say, DP, I loved the Jamal Crawford interview this week. It's still in my mind. It was so good. And he's such a great interview as well. Yes, I mean it was so funny because he was so confused when you asked him about who's the best analyst and he thought you were asking him.

00:22:38
Speaker 2: About like breaking.

00:22:39
Speaker 7: Down the game on TV and all that, and you wanted to know who's the best at breaking ankles? Man?

00:22:44
Speaker 2: Like that was great.

00:22:45
Speaker 7: And lastly, DP addressing the elephant in the room Todd your upcomings.

00:22:53
Speaker 2: That day Friday, I'm sorry, it's not your birthday.

00:22:58
Speaker 3: I need to drop about thirty but it is at Harge.

00:23:00
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm sorry, Buddha. The elephant in the room, Yeah.

00:23:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, the elephant in the room, your daughter's speech, your upcoming daughter's.

00:23:08
Speaker 2: Speech at the wedding. So this is my advice.

00:23:12
Speaker 7: Make sure your passion bucket is full and give that speech then with an enthusiasm unknown to men, find baby.

00:23:21
Speaker 2: Thank you Buddha. A lot of advice. I asked for it. I'm getting a lot of advice, and that's fine. Is then I'm gonna shut it down once we get to the beginning of August. No more advice. I'm taking notes I have, I have a strategy. I'm gonna make it great. I am going to make it one of the great speeches of all time. I am. Yes, it's like you've pursed it with a conversation, I think so like I'm getting all of this angst out. It's done. I'll get some tears first time I see my daughter in her wedding dress. I'll cry. Then get that out. Maybe not cry too much much. We walked down the aisle. We walked down in unison, we walked down in strength, arm and arm. Here we go, let's go, Yes, boy.

00:24:08
Speaker 5: We're calling the moment. Tears then beers. Okay, a couple of cold ones ready for you afterwards.

00:24:15
Speaker 2: Tears then cheers, then beers.

00:24:19
Speaker 3: There you go.

00:24:20
Speaker 2: Thank you, we're shopping.

00:24:21
Speaker 6: Yes, if I get you the scroll for your birthday, would you use it? I didn't. God had a nice look.

00:24:28
Speaker 2: Like a like a Latin scroll.

00:24:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you know it unfurls. You're reading off of it.

00:24:33
Speaker 2: That has a Regokay, once again, my wife keeps saying to me, don't make it jokey, and I said, okay, I won't scrolls very serious, but I'm going to have fun with it. There'll be lighthearted moments I'm going to try to crush. Then that's al. Yes, Ton, your.

00:24:52
Speaker 9: Personality and sense of human I'm not just saying this because it's your birthday, but why would anyone want you to squash that? You're not doing a stand up routine, but to try to be devoid of any kind of humor or charisma personality wouldn't suit who you are.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: Okay, but my wife reminds me all the time, not everybody gets your sense of humor, that's all. That's all She's saying that you might think something's funny, but people might not get that. Playing to a larger crowd, younger, older, different demos here, you know, I gotta kind of bring I gotta be inclusive. That's all. Yes, Dylan, what if you have.

00:25:28
Speaker 6: Like a speaker set up with a laugh track just in case?

00:25:32
Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking of putting seatan in the audience. It's not a bad idea. Yeah, and just to laugh, that's it.

00:25:38
Speaker 6: He's got to get his timing right there.

00:25:40
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Darius Rucker. So I don't know if that would be a weird invitation for Darius. I just need you to laugh. You don't have to sing, just laugh.

00:25:52
Speaker 9: Yes, Stan, Yes, but that Uz, that's kind of what Darius's I get firing off a bunch of shots.

00:25:59
Speaker 3: I don't know if you want that one.

00:26:01
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tod. Chris and Syracuse. Hi Chris, what's on your mind today?

00:26:07
Speaker 4: Hey?

00:26:07
Speaker 10: Thanks Dandy. We're talking Fred belitnikoff a lot of hair and a lot of stick them. I got two things to throw ash and I have a birthday present for you. Arizona Cardinals versus New York Jets. Maybe end up being the Archs Manning Bowl. And if Cleveland somehow ends up winning the championship year this year, does that make Cleveland in Lebron's mind now less attractive as a destination since they won without him? And maybe he risk becoming Kevin Durant and Dan, today's May fifteenth. I want to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend, and I want to shoehorn this into May fifteenth, May sixteenth, and May seventeenth. Now on May sixteenth, a few years back, Dan, you said Taylor, Swift and Kelsey would end up getting married, and you ended up being exactly right, when all the rest of us thought it was a stunt, including Todd, and Todd I believe made a bet with you on that which I don't think he's ever paid back. And I'd like to get some partial payment for a birthday present for you in the form of a caller is always great segment with Fritzy. Now Fritzy, May sixteenth lead just to May seventeenth, which just happens to be your wife, Jen's birthday, and I hope you have a wonderful birthday on Sunday. Now, Todd, when mid May rolls around and Dan and Jen's birthdays arrived. Because of your working relationship with Dan and all he's done for your career, doesn't his birthday resonate a lot more with you and is much more important to you than the ball and chain at home gens.

00:27:31
Speaker 3: You know what, I can't argue with that.

00:27:32
Speaker 9: I know Dan like longer than I know my wife, like well, I know Dan from watching him than to working with him. And as much as I love my wife, you know, I know where my bread is buttered. And the Dan Patrick Shaw has a special meaning for me, and walking down the aisle and having kids with her, that kind of takes a back seat to my relationship with Daniel Theodore Patrick.

00:27:52
Speaker 3: It has to be said. It's a little uncomfortable, but I got to admit it.

00:27:55
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom.

00:27:55
Speaker 3: He's a right christ and Sirih's great research with the birthdays.

00:27:58
Speaker 2: By the way, I say, when Taylor Swift Travis Kelcey get married, I get to smash you with a wedding kick.

00:28:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe was that the Yes, that was that the plan?

00:28:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what we'll do that. That was what two years ago, two years ago tomorrow that I think I made that declaration.

00:28:15
Speaker 9: I never thought it was a publicity stunt, but I did think this was going to just be drawn out, that it's going to be one of those Oprah Stedman like, whenever actually get married, we're going to say we're together.

00:28:23
Speaker 2: And now they haven't set a date to get married, but there are preparations. I believe in Rhode Island at her home that they're going to get married, perhaps this summer, perhaps in July. Yes, Paul, how do you hide that wedding? You don't know? You can't you try. No, I don't think you can. I think it's too big that you know. It's like when Sean Penn married Madonna and they had all kinds of tents erected so the paparazzi in helicopters couldn't get pictures, but they did get pictures, you know, of part of the reception with Madonna. And you know, Sean Penn used to fight with the paparazzi all the time because of them taking pictures with you know, one of the most famous people on the planet. Go figure. But I don't I think Kelsey's been really good at kind of accepting that this goes along with the territory with Taylor Swift and you know, he's famous in the spotlight. Now he's not this famous. But you have to embrace this. It's like you're gonna be married to j Low. You got to embrace it because if you don't or Jennifer Aniston or any of these really famous women, you gotta be ready. And I think Kelsey's done a really good job of that.

00:29:42
Speaker 6: Yes, still, I've seen Taylor Sour's house in Rhode Island two. It is not like it's like tucked away in the woods or anything. It is like it's basically like off main street in the town.

00:29:51
Speaker 4: That it's in.

00:29:52
Speaker 2: Well, it's backs up to the water, yes, I mean it's it's wide open there.

00:29:57
Speaker 6: But it's there gets a lot of traffic going by it. Like you can't it be like we're having a secret wedding guest un And.

00:30:02
Speaker 9: As much as you may dislike the paparazzi and the finder everywhere, you've got to be respectful and understanding of your wife's career and how famous she is.

00:30:09
Speaker 3: Well, you can't, you know, start pushing people, try to try to knock them over with your car or something. It's going to have such a negative effect on her, so you have to somehow deal with it.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna run over him, But like.

00:30:19
Speaker 9: The Britney Spears, there are people that, like you know, they take it into their hands where they're throwing podcast, try to run somebody.

00:30:24
Speaker 2: Over that Travis Kelsey is watching, so he's getting Todd's advice on being to.

00:30:28
Speaker 3: Be respectful of Taylors rift.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: Don't run in Ohio.

00:30:32
Speaker 12: My David, Hey Dan, I just want to wish you happy. I got two things. Just want to watch your happy birthday and it's always taken my call. Let me roast the Cowboys and everything else.

00:31:06

00:33:40
Speaker 2: Well, Paul's dad died when he was eleven eleven on Halloween. Yeah, yeah, give I'll give Paul the most traumatic one. Yeah, his dad ruined Halloween for him. It wasn't his fault on others, hence the lawsuit.

00:33:55
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, But you could say though, when your dad dies at eleven, you just kind of go on with your life if there's not really much you could do. But when you have kids, you start thinking, oh, he's missing this. Yeah, that's where it comes back.

00:37:28
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Okay, I guess I kind of get in on a technicality. My dad served. You know, I tried to join the VFW Veterans of Foreign War and then they have something for like the relatives or sons or family of those who served. And I couldn't find my dad's information from serving in Korea, and so I can't join the VF. I just wanted to join the VFW because that's where my dad would take me. And I'd sit at the bar and it was the VFW, and I'd have a Fanta, an orange Fanta, and i'd sit at the bar. My dad would have a Schlitz and he would have a shot of whiskey or two. So on a Saturday, I'd be going to the bar and sitting there with my dad. Now, I had three other brothers, and you know, it was a treat to go and sit at the bar. And I just I was going to try to join the VFW so I could sit at the bar, so I could bring my son, who's now thirty four, to sit at the bar. Yes, Paul, so you.

00:38:38
Speaker 5: Need to find your dad's military records.

00:38:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were looking. Do you want me to make some calls? Well, we may know a guy. My brother, my oldest brother, was going to help me, and there's a VFW right across the street from the man Cave, and I thought it'd be nice. Maybe you know Friday beers go over there, have a couple of Miller lights. Maybe the I team can get on this. But yeah, yes, yes, doing famously cheap beers at the oh I know that's another reason. Yeah, yeah, but uh, i'd like to. I'd like to get into the VFW.

00:39:10
Speaker 6: Were you ever a beer and a shot guy like your dad? No, I done think I've ever seen you take a shot?

00:39:15
Speaker 2: No, I never did, because my dad did, Like I saw what it did to him, to everyone, and uh, you know it was He used to hide it in our pantry. I remember we had vanilla wafers and there was a box there, but behind it was this. It was called it was Kessler whiskey. Well, if you smelled it or tasted it, you'd never want it again. And just like the beer that he would have, he'd have blats Schlitz Weedamen, And we never it went any The beer wasn't good, so we didn't drink it because he'd always say, you guys never took my beer. I'm like, no, it's not any good. Yes, Paul Kessler whiskey smoothest silket sat on the box. Oh, it seems like that's probably not And even smoking cigarettes, I never did that because my dad used to smoke camel nonfilter and it killed him. Yeah, it killed him. Yes, I would have.

00:40:12
Speaker 3: Done the opposite.

00:40:13
Speaker 9: I would have the whiskey off fronts to block the cookies. I don't want to share my box and Milla wafers with anyboding.
