00:01:43
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to change, which will be greater the Seahawks points scored in Super Bowl sixty or James Harden's points scored against the Timberwolves. But I don't know if James Harden when is that game? Because Harden might be traded to Cleveland that game, So I don't we have to keep an eye on that. Marvin, thank you, all right, Seaton, pull question from hour one? What are we going with our two?

00:02:33

00:02:36
Speaker 2: Let's make way for Christopher mad Dog Russo, host of mad Dog Unleashed on Sirius XM channel eighty two. You'll see him on first take as well, out here doing his show and is a beloved city that he grew up loving the giants. This first time I think we've had Chris in person on the show.

00:02:55
Speaker 3: Make way for mad Dog Russo.

00:02:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look at that.

00:03:08
Speaker 4: How are we doing?

00:03:09
Speaker 3: Everything's good?

00:03:10
Speaker 6: Marvin God flits back there in the corner.

00:03:13
Speaker 3: How much coffee have you had?

00:03:15
Speaker 1: Some of your Thanks to.

00:03:16
Speaker 6: You, my first one, Thanks to you, Thanks to you.

00:03:20
Speaker 3: Can you give us a all right.

00:03:28
Speaker 4: Good morning everybody? That was a good one.

00:03:33
Speaker 2: So Chris worked with Mike Francessa. They pretty much created sports talk radio and this in New York at w f A N. But when you first started doing that, I'm curious what Mike Francessa thought when you start the radio with the end.

00:03:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I I'd have to go back to see if I did it on the first show.

00:03:52
Speaker 4: I doubt I did.

00:03:54
Speaker 6: Probably evolved and it became a staple, So I probably we did it within the first.

00:04:01
Speaker 4: Three or four months of eighty nine. So I'm not exactly. I'm sure I didn't do it the first day.

00:04:06
Speaker 6: I just I did hand. But I'm sure somehow, some way I just evolved.

00:04:11
Speaker 4: You know how radio is it?

00:04:12
Speaker 6: You know, you try something, it seems like people like it, You stick with.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: It, You stick with it.

00:04:16
Speaker 6: And I can't get rid of that hand right now if it was the last thing on earth. But yeah, so but and remember one day about Mike. Remember I did that famous thing when I killed the Giants, when.

00:04:26
Speaker 4: I lost the Marlins in ninety three, Remember.

00:04:28
Speaker 6: That famous I was so upset when I got beat by the Marlins when they won a championship in oh three, not ninety three. So I mean, and I went rant did that? Mike would always he understood, where you know what this this is good? Let's let this roll and you know a lot of it was me screaming and yelling about something. Yeah, and Mike understood that. You know that you were with us, you were part of it forever. Yeah, and Mike realized that. So the end is one of those one of those categories.

00:04:54
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but Fritzy does not like Bruce Springsteen. You, of course your theme music to open the show Radio Nowhere.

00:05:00
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, I I called the music company to make sure I can do that, because you know that they own the rights. Say, Chris played as much as you want. So that's why I did the Radio Nowhere. And I that I did start very early at serious And oh wait, I was at the first show. Maybe not but the first the first month or so I started that, and I was thinking about this. You know, I was at the first ball game, first game in this park in two thousand when it opened, and Kevin Elster hit three homers and the Giants.

00:05:31
Speaker 4: Lost to La. Do you remember that he hit three homers. I came all this way.

00:05:35
Speaker 6: I sat with my lovely wife behind the first base, dugout, Mike got me the tickets and also hit three bombs.

00:05:40
Speaker 4: He lose the game.

00:05:41
Speaker 2: For kind of I told you want to give a mad dog a little Springsteen?

00:05:46
Speaker 4: Here, go ahead, Todd, But come on, now, that does it better care of them? That's pretty good.

00:05:54
Speaker 3: But he doesn't like Springsteen.

00:05:55
Speaker 4: He's got it figured out. I respect it, but I just like, I don't know.

00:05:58
Speaker 7: I say, people have gone fifty times to his concerts. We had Larry Bearer, Yes, they were telling me, CEO. And you know, these stadiums have a shelf life. I can't imagine what they would do differently here. And it's I think thirty years old, and you start to see that's around the end of a shelf life for a stadium, and then we have to have a new one here. Can Oracle Park survive? And yes it can be like can can it grow into a Wrigley Fenway?

00:06:27
Speaker 4: Why not?

00:06:28
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of those stadiums out there that in baseball are new.

00:06:31
Speaker 4: Peco is a great park.

00:06:33
Speaker 6: You know, I think you'd agree. I love peck Go. I don't know if you've been there. It's a great park.

00:06:36
Speaker 4: I have.

00:06:36
Speaker 3: They didn't take advantage of the visitors though.

00:06:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, probably not, but like this this is.

00:06:42
Speaker 4: They did a great you know, I'll take another great park that I like.

00:06:44
Speaker 6: Oh, Camden is obviously going to be around forever too. They did a great job. I remember they were gonna build the park in eighty nine because the Giants got the World Series, but they had the earthquake, so as a result that got put aside. They were gonna build Luria Park. They didn't build it. He sells it, McGowan buys it, and they played in Candlestick in that ninety three, in that whole period, and then McGowan, the late Pete McGowan is the guy grew up in the Upper East Side, was a big Bobby Thompson fan, and he's the guy that really did all the work, as you know, Danny to build this park because it's all private money and it is a great park.

00:07:20
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I came with a World Series show and O two.

00:07:23
Speaker 6: I was here at the World Series when they beat Texas, when they beat Detroit. I mean I was here a lot in the early days. And he used to go to Candlestick a lot too. You go to Candlestick for a ball game one time, Oh I was there cold, Oh Jesus, one time you went, let's just see.

00:07:36
Speaker 3: I think it was the Giants Dodgers. Well that's a good one. I remember seeing Marshall.

00:07:42
Speaker 4: Well that's way back.

00:07:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, and I it was so cold, and I just said, I don't need to go back to that stadium again. And I grew up a John Brody fan like I like us passed away.

00:07:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I grew up.

00:07:57
Speaker 2: I loved the Niners uniforms and they weren't that's successful back then. But I love the way they look, you know, just like the Chargers. I went to Bengals games and the Chargers came out in those uniforms, and.

00:08:09
Speaker 4: I love it. I agree with you. Those Georgia uniforms are great.

00:08:12
Speaker 6: Old Keysar Stadium where the Niners play, which is still up by the way because they play a lot of high school games in there.

00:08:18
Speaker 4: They have the birds flying over.

00:08:21
Speaker 6: That was a great stadium, and I think the I think the forty nine ers have lost something when their stadium is forty four miles away.

00:08:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a stadiums.

00:08:30
Speaker 4: It's nowhere near here. I mean it's in another city. I mean it really is. And they should be.

00:08:35
Speaker 6: Called the San Jos Niners instead of the San Francisco nine. So I think that they've lost a little something in a giant state in the city, so which is good. And I know now the Warriors and the Oakland Coliseum was a great arena, and I used to love the Cow Palace, which is across the street near the airport. And when the Warriors beat the Bullets, you remember this and the Dandy. But they played the games at the cow Palace because the Oakland Coliseum was not available. And that was a weird final because the first game is in Washington and games two and three were in the calup Potas and the Bullets had the home court. So the Warriors won the first game and they came out here up one.

00:09:15
Speaker 1: Oh.

00:09:16
Speaker 4: They won the two games and they swept them near number that with Rick Barrier, Rick Barry.

00:09:20
Speaker 8: No.

00:09:20
Speaker 6: I loved it in the old Calupaltas, the old fairgrounds building. But this one, you're right, you're one hundred percent right there in this park will be here a long long time.

00:09:28
Speaker 7: Now.

00:09:29
Speaker 6: The Giants got some issues because you know, the Dodgers are blown them away in this division. They can't gain way to take their money, whether it's Otani Correa, you know the Jobmoto.

00:09:38
Speaker 4: Who's a judge.

00:09:40
Speaker 6: They can't get a way to take all their money, which is you know, makes a tricky for him. And in the other period there, you know, fifteen years ago, Bonds took the money and everything else.

00:09:48
Speaker 4: That was a huge signing.

00:09:50
Speaker 6: And give McGowan credit when he got Bonds to come here in ninety three, he gave.

00:09:55
Speaker 4: Forty six and a half million. I don't know how many years it was.

00:09:59
Speaker 6: You know that that was huge because the Giants in ninety three were a great team and they lost to Atlanta.

00:10:04
Speaker 4: By the last day of the season they won.

00:10:06
Speaker 6: One hundred and three games and didn't make the playoffs and a Bradys one.

00:10:09
Speaker 4: Hundred and four. There you go.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: You can't with your memory like you can't miss like an anniversary or a birthday at home.

00:10:15
Speaker 6: Right, And by the way, it's my lovely wife's birth day today, Jean Russa, all right, how about that?

00:10:21
Speaker 4: So we have to make sure I would have forgotten.

00:10:26
Speaker 2: So we talked yesterday to the CEO, and we talked about Bonds's statue. So you make the Hall of Fame, you get a statue. Jeff Kent will get one, Buster Posey will get one.

00:10:36
Speaker 3: And then we.

00:10:37
Speaker 2: Talked about I said to Larry bear All right, give me your like you're going to stand behind Bonds for the Hall of Fame.

00:10:43
Speaker 3: Let me hear it.

00:10:44
Speaker 2: And we keep hearing this sometimes, and that is why he was the Hall of Famer before. I think it's the totality of your career. Absolutely, I'm sorry. Bonds did incredible things, but some of it was it real. His best work was enhanced ondred percent.

00:11:04
Speaker 8: That's a problem.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: But I do think the younger voters were taking over baseball.

00:11:08
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

00:11:09
Speaker 3: I don't think they're caught up in steroids. Chris.

00:11:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, but remember Bond's now camping in because he's passed the Vallid thing, so he has to get through the Executive committee and he's not going to get in. They just voted no with him and Clemens. Bonds became an immortal because of steroids. He was not an immortal before steroids. He was great, and he was a great player, him and Griffy with the two best players. But he was an immortal. He became Ruthian after he did it. And it was all because of that home run Derby when McGuire and Soto.

00:11:41
Speaker 4: Sosa.

00:11:42
Speaker 6: You saw it in ninety six at the Veterans Stadium, I was out that and those guys hit home runs all over the place. They got loved by all the fans, and Bonds got jealous. And then he said, you know, if they get all this better than them, do the steroids too, And obviously he becomes He was not an immortal to me.

00:12:03
Speaker 8: And but is this like?

00:12:05
Speaker 6: And I understand the Giants are a tricky spot because he's did bad way they're supposed.

00:12:08
Speaker 3: To do it.

00:12:09
Speaker 2: But I grew up in Cincinnati, so I would defend Pete Rose the best I could, but I wouldn't have put him in the Hall of Fame.

00:12:18
Speaker 3: But as a player he could go in.

00:12:21
Speaker 2: He did the other stuff as a manager, and I thought, can you do It's like what you did in grad school?

00:12:26
Speaker 3: If you cheat in grad.

00:12:27
Speaker 2: School, I don't take away what you did in undergrad. And maybe you know, I'm trying to get massage this a little bit, but it feels like the Bonds. Hey, yeah, but he's ours, like the local you know, in the base and this is a great baseball town.

00:12:42
Speaker 3: But they have to kind of go.

00:12:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, they have no choice, but they gotta hold their nose. Yes, that's what they gotta do. And and I understand that, and he was great for the freight ar. It's funny with the franchising. They never won of them, which is hard to believe. They should have won the own two World Series. He was eight for seventeen or thirteen walks?

00:13:00
Speaker 3: Did he hit that home run? Off Perceval.

00:13:04
Speaker 2: Went out of it went all the way up and then out to the concession at Anaheim?

00:13:09
Speaker 4: I mean in game two that, Oh you were good for you, Danny.

00:13:13
Speaker 6: I went to the first I went to games three, four and five here and I did the show. I Mike didn't come, but I did the three shows Games three, four, five, and in game five the Giants won fourteen to five. And that was the famous game where j T Snow picked up Dusty Baker's little kid, who was the bat boy when somebody scored.

00:13:32
Speaker 4: I've been JT scoring.

00:13:33
Speaker 8: Remember that. I was gonna get run over.

00:13:36
Speaker 4: And we left that ballpark that night.

00:13:39
Speaker 6: Everybody Giant fan, you know, like the Vancouver Canuck fan after they beat the Rangers in game they all.

00:13:44
Speaker 4: Thought the World twers is off.

00:13:45
Speaker 6: I said, guys, you gotta win a game down in Anaheim. That's not gonna be that easy. And they didn't. And they blew the five nothing lead. Dusty made the era with the taking or tease out, which is you know that was the bad era, first and second bottom of the seven five nothing Dusty leave it in the game plays and then Francisco Rodriguez gave up the three on over to erst Edd and we ended.

00:14:05
Speaker 3: Up losing the World Series. But Bo, you're creeping me out with this. You are no.

00:14:11
Speaker 4: I'm sharp today. I got up. I'm sharp, and your.

00:14:14
Speaker 3: Hair is combed.

00:14:14
Speaker 1: My hair.

00:14:16
Speaker 4: I didn't even shave. I was gonna shave. I got a shave for patches.

00:14:20
Speaker 6: They said I don't shave, going there like a nutcase.

00:14:22
Speaker 4: I said, okay, I'll go down like a nutcase.

00:14:24
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:14:25
Speaker 2: He is Christopher mad Dog Russo. He's got his own channel on Serious XM channel eighty two. You can see him on First Take with Stephen A.

00:14:32
Speaker 3: Smith. First super Bowl you went to.

00:14:34
Speaker 4: Was nineteen ninety. That was the Denver San Francisco Super Bowl. And I told this story this morning. I'll tell you again. It's a good one. Nobody there.

00:14:43
Speaker 6: It was just a couple of radio stations, Mic and me the local station. I think probably Eddie Andleman was there, and maybe Eskin, so it wasn't a radio road thing. So we're there the whole week in in New Orleans, and we had Madden and some roll up and so Madden and some Row did that game and some roll a private. He comes up to me, he says, keep on doing what you're doing, which I thought, I took that some meaning, you know, the goofiness and all that, so I took that to heart. But Madden comes on with some Row and he says, listen, you guys, come to here's my address.

00:15:12
Speaker 4: Call me when you come. Come to my hotel this week. I got to show you some stuff.

00:15:16
Speaker 6: So that week, whatever day it may have been, we went to his hotel, lou Bout Hotel on Bourbon Street.

00:15:21
Speaker 4: We go into his up in his.

00:15:22
Speaker 6: Suite, he sits a stam and he says, watch this. He takes a projector out and he says, Rights does this, Taylor does that?

00:15:30
Speaker 4: The tight end. Here's the Bronco's. Louis right. They don't have a chance in this game, a chance fifty five ten.

00:15:39
Speaker 6: That's when I knew I was with immortals with that prediction, and that was the first one that I went to in that and then the first one I really realized whether there was a radio row and this is becoming a big deal was the one in LA when Buffalo played the Cowboys. That's the first one, Dan, I know what you were doing Sports Center the time. Probably that was the first one that I read, and I as, wow, look at this with little these radio stations, because up until then I was in a lobby, hotel lobby. Then was the first one they put us in a little like a little convention room at a hotel.

00:16:12
Speaker 4: Was that the one?

00:16:13
Speaker 6: And that's the you know, that was the BB one at fifty three seventeen, you know when BB made the great play on Leon Lett on the fumble and you know, and obviously Dallas killed him. But all those Super Bowls so I've been I didn't go to the one with Tampa and the Chiefs in the pandemic. I didn't go to that one, But you know, I've been here of all these super Bowls for this time, even in Minnesota with the cold weather and all that kind of stuff.

00:16:34
Speaker 2: How do you walk the line of being entertaining but also being a diehard sports fan, like being taken seriously but then being goofy as well?

00:16:48
Speaker 6: I think I had trouble with that, with the Mike and the Maya Dog days. And I always said this, I knew a lot more about sports than people realized. And Mike was a lot funnier than people realis great wit. You know, people thought Mike was an encyclopedia, a little dry. He had a great wit, and people thought I was just a nutcase anything about sports. And so you put those two things together. That's why it worked. I used to worry about that a lot, the credibility. You know, here's the guy skimming and yelling. What does he know about sports? You know, you do five hours a day on Sirius XM without with with eight minutes or commercials from for five years, from two to seven.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: You can do that.

00:17:29
Speaker 4: You must be doing you must know something about sports.

00:17:32
Speaker 6: And you're the sort of guy, you're a great you know he We all know what a great sports fan Danny is and he was a huge listener. So Dan always appreciated what I did with the sports. He always saw behind the scenes, you know what, he's the little goofy, but he knows what he's talking about. And that's the that's the approach that have always taken and never take yourself too. Seriously, you're talking sports when I'm talking world politics.

00:17:54
Speaker 4: You're talking sports. Have fun.

00:17:56
Speaker 6: So I don't worry about that. After I used to with Michaelus, I was in competition with Mike. I wanted to keep up with them, and I thought if I didn't, I would look be looked down upon. I don't worry about that anymore. Just do the I'm sixty six years old. Just do the stupid show for crying out loud?

00:18:11
Speaker 3: Are you going to take a gummy today?

00:18:13
Speaker 4: I didn't bring any with me.

00:18:14
Speaker 6: Now, all my buddies, we're gonna go home on Friday night, and all of them bring me a little gummies from Sirius and two years ago from Phoenix, Steve Tory gave me a full one.

00:18:26
Speaker 4: I wanted to jump out of the air through so I had. I wouldn't even eat. And then when I woke up after a little doze, dof I hit about nine million oio cookies. So I bounce back Friday night. Awesome fun, fine out ad some fun.

00:18:42

00:21:52
Speaker 3: Bud, do you are you studying like even Chris Russo like can you?

00:21:58
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:21:58
Speaker 8: I heard you talking about it earlier today, one hundred percent, always trying to find somebody else. Somebody knew that type of thing is part of it because the people die off, presidents get old, and then they're not topical anymore. I work them backwards so I can throw a bush in there. If I go Donald Trump to Joe Biden, folks come on to George W.

00:22:18
Speaker 4: Bush.

00:22:18
Speaker 8: I forgot Barack Obama. Let me be clear, that's an important O mission all the way back to Clinton. We'll get back there. And I don't think you're laughing for the right reasons.

00:22:30
Speaker 3: And so you can't bring up the Epstein files though.

00:22:34
Speaker 8: No, yeah, I mean can you I don't know, not me usually, but you just did.

00:22:39
Speaker 4: So what are we going to do with that?

00:22:40
Speaker 3: Means you can?

00:22:42
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's uh yeah, I mean it's it's uh you gotta be careful. You got to be very careful.

00:22:47
Speaker 2: But you know, we talked about John Madden's not here with us, you know, Morgan Freeman's eight, like you start to.

00:22:53
Speaker 3: Look at aging out of it.

00:22:55
Speaker 8: Let's let's talk about this too.

00:22:57
Speaker 3: Was I really doing that during dinner?

00:23:00
Speaker 9: Oh?

00:23:00
Speaker 3: I got to fix that?

00:23:01
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:23:01
Speaker 10: You were?

00:23:02
Speaker 8: Yeah, because maybe I felt like I had to turn honest them because usually people are like, you're not like you are on TV. You're very subdued and stuff like that. So I was like, oh when I heard that, I'm like, oh. Then I started fritzing myself, like.

00:23:14
Speaker 1: Do I do I do that?

00:23:18
Speaker 8: I don't think I have something I really did. Okay, So it's one of those where I'm just thinking, still don't have the voice. I don't practice it when I'm not here. But I got to get that fritzy voice going uh so yeah, I mean you have to you have to find and you you got to give the compliment to Seaton two, which it was almost like, I don't know if it wasn't a compliment or what I thought, but that your Romo's really good and he does a lot of great The guys do great impressions. They do quite a few of them. I listen to the show, So are they really good? They're above average and no good, no civil Oh they're great, it's great. But that Romo is kind of just a cartoon for me that I rev up the Tony Romobile. It's like turning it into something instead of doing what he does on TV. It's just it becomes like, what's the cartoon. It's the Dana Carvey, which is San Francisco comedy Dana Carvey, Robin Williams, don't know, you know, those are the those are the comedians I watched coming up and was like, oh, that's how you work an impression into talking, and.

00:24:22
Speaker 10: I do do that.

00:24:23
Speaker 8: Like heard you guys talking about this pass the pass some meatballs over there, man, some pretty good about some spaghetti to.

00:24:32
Speaker 4: You never have that, man, never had spaghetting two white? What am I yelling?

00:24:36
Speaker 8: I'm in shorts at the top top of the life.

00:24:39
Speaker 2: When when we went to dinner in Vegas, though, there was that normal conversation that morphed into William Shatner. Oh, I was telling you a story, and we're not allowed to story. We'll get to the story, but it's old school. But I'm not allowed to tell the Shatner story.

00:24:59
Speaker 8: I'll tell you that some here because I want to.

00:25:00
Speaker 3: I want to.

00:25:01
Speaker 8: I told you that I can't tell. Let's wait for that one. And it's yeah, but that one, that one you'll get, that'll be uh yeah, it's it's a pretty great story.

00:25:12
Speaker 3: So uh but yeah, I didn't.

00:25:15
Speaker 8: I guess I naturally I can't do that. My voice goes in and out. I'll catch it, and uh. But I tell stories about people, like when I meet people like I'm thinking Arizona super Bowl years ago. Uh I met Sandler. I know that's old hat for you, but uh, i'd never met Adam before. And Nick Schwartzen, you know Nick, Grandma's boy and all that stuff. Nick Nick is like, you want to come up? And he text me come up and meet Adam. He's in this suite and we're all here for a movie. Jennifer Anderson's here and I'm like, perfect, I'll leave my family behind. I don't care. So I go up there and I'm I'm Adam's like I can't think, wave me over to talk to. Adam's like, hey, I hate doing man, that's pretty good. So I let know the other day that was great. Uh it did had been what did you? I'm mad and the funny stuff? Okay, all right? Uh And then I was like okay, and I just wanted to get out of there because it was like I got that. Then I go and I'm walking by and Jennifer Anderson's there and she's.

00:26:10
Speaker 4: Like, you were.

00:26:13
Speaker 5: TV.

00:26:14
Speaker 8: You're you're a little are You're in entertainment? Are You're in entertainment? So I go from Sandy go, hey, you're a great time. Never heard of you. So it was like a moment of up in the you know, up in the clouds, and I was like, oh, the pretty girls don't know who I am.

00:26:26
Speaker 2: I got the same thing when I was on the movie set with that movie with Jennifer Aniston, right, she had no idea who I was. But Sandler goes, it's Danny's the sports guy. So she just called me the sports guy. She still doesn't know who.

00:26:39
Speaker 8: Hey, we're gonna throw my dash on him, give him some flashes and it looks pretty good.

00:26:43
Speaker 3: Danny Daddy, you're doing a character.

00:26:45
Speaker 8: You got an accent or something, and this one we want to I thought you should be from Boston. That would be that would be funny.

00:26:52
Speaker 2: I'm always fascinated though, when when you study people, because the mannerisms bring it just the do the mannerisms bring out the voice.

00:27:00
Speaker 8: Yes, the mouth tells you how that the person talks. The eyes tell you how a person thinks. So that's how I break it down easy. One is a Jeff Goldblum like he's first of all, he's a painting in a haunted house. He looks her own. Yes, yes, yes, he agrees with himself. He's a tourist and a tour guide at the same time.

00:27:19
Speaker 3: What's up?

00:27:20
Speaker 8: I can't wait to tell you. That's why I have the script in front of me, uh while we ride uh the street car.

00:27:27
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:27:27
Speaker 8: So it's like that sounds like if the voice isn't that great, there's something to define. I've been working on. I don't have this yet, but Billy Bob and it takes me a Billy Bob Thornton in case you were thinking of different Billy Bud. But it's he's got that up here. It's it's in here. It's in here, So it's got to talk. It takes a wall to figure it out. Get there, it's there. I'm trying to get it. Get there, Danny, I'll get there.

00:27:54
Speaker 3: Well, I think everybody doesn't.

00:27:57
Speaker 8: And then you work it backwards. That's how you do it. It's like if you want to find somebody's voice that does a character that they're doing the character and you kind of reverse engineer it to get there and to find out where it talks from. And I heard him talk about it. He's like his kids think he's Hank Hill. My kids like, I'm Hank Hill. And that's it's gonna pop the peas. You gotta pop the p's and we go. That's what it is. Talk to me about that. So it's that, And then you had to find the range. You probably talked about it before. But it's the it's voices blend into each other.

00:28:30
Speaker 4: John Madden can become.

00:28:32
Speaker 3: Bill Walt And how great is that?

00:28:34
Speaker 4: By just a little switch.

00:28:36
Speaker 8: It's the Uh, It's the Kermit the Frog, Hengy Ho Kermit the Frog, John c. Rally, Mark Ruffalo, Uh, Paul Giamati. I believe if you had enough air. We can't get through this about as well? Has that any person that's ever gone through it down?

00:28:53
Speaker 3: Do you record yourself?

00:28:55
Speaker 8: I used to, I do a little bit more. Now yeah, I've started I guess I guess I do you again. There was a time where I didn't do as much. I've started working on it harder again.

00:29:05
Speaker 3: So yes, So my.

00:29:09
Speaker 8: What's the the the memos app? What's the thing called? Is that the memos that's filled with me just saying lines over and over and over the same line. Not anything new, it's just repetition. Just try to drill it in because if you can get one sentence, start with a word, then you can get a couple of words a phrase, then you get to a sentence, and then eventually you can kind of play it like it's music. So it's like it's just muscle membor. He really for me, because I've done it for quite a while.

00:29:35
Speaker 2: He's Frank Callendo or Frank Cutledendo, as Bradshaw would always call it.

00:29:40
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what that guy, I don't understand why I was on the show.

00:29:44
Speaker 2: Frank will be in Hartford, Connecticut next weekend and then upcoming shows Wisconsin Oclomba, Utah and early April and right here in San Francisco. You can find tickets for all shows at frank on stage dot com. Do you have people who ask you to in person hate them like famous people?

00:30:02
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:30:02
Speaker 8: I mean when I was doing this stuff that the mother Ship, Uh, there were people that they were worried that people would get offended there sometimes and then people would come up to me and ask me, like South Pal. South Pal's like, yeah, yeah, do me. Yeah, I didn't really have it. He's like, put on the trench coat. I'm like, you changed trench coats. You're the only person I've ever seen with a wardrobe change on the field. He's like, you know, it's that huh. He's like I was like I wanted to do you like the Godfather, and they were worried that, like it would be too much.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: He's like, oh I would have loved that so that. But yeah, there are there are people who ask like, is Berman bothered by your impersonation?

00:30:37
Speaker 8: But everybody does. See here's the thing, and not everybody knows this. Everybody on that campus does a secret Chris Berman. Everybody's I hope he.

00:30:46
Speaker 4: Doesn't hear this.

00:30:48
Speaker 8: Say what you will, But nobody suggs your waggage. That's Chris Burman has a chicken?

00:30:55
Speaker 1: What what?

00:30:58
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they they don't want me to Emil Kuiper doesn't have a problem.

00:31:01
Speaker 8: No, he called me after I did it. The first time. I got a call from him. He's like, Frank Kuiper Junior. I'm I gonna figure that one out. I'm the attire Kuiper family sitting here watching you. I'm going to Vegas in little while. You ever been you ever been of Las Vegas? I know you did a little residency there. You ever go to see Blue Man Group and they actually blue people? I was told there were seven foot tall aliens. What's that ship? What's that movie? The James Cameron film?

00:31:28
Speaker 4: What's that one?

00:31:29
Speaker 8: I'm too busy studying three ring binders in my basement. I'm not sure what avatar avatar?

00:31:35
Speaker 2: Is that?

00:31:35
Speaker 8: What the Blue Man Group are? Are they smaller versions? Are they pigmy versus the Avatar community. At the end of the day, I'd rather have an Avatar with the wingspan for mendouicibility.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: I need to be hard pressed on me otherwise. What happens when you have a bad audience. Well, they come to see me for the most part. Now, okay, so it's better.

00:31:55
Speaker 8: I mean I I used to do what I used to come up, go up on stage for at colleges at lunchtime, you know, there people are calling out. This is in early two thousands. They turn off the TV and then you know, if that was in the lunch room, and then they'd be like, we have a comedian today, and you'd hear they all burned, they were all and really it would probably turn it out sports there. They're probably turn off a replay, you guys, So that would the big show would have been on and so we uh, you go up there and you just try and fight through it. That's why guitar acts are so great for college crowds in the early two thousands because you could just strum through it. If your punchlines aren't using, just go through or have a puppet.

00:32:43
Speaker 3: You know, but you didn't you don't fire back at people you didn't know.

00:32:46
Speaker 8: That was too tough that they just didn't. They didn't they didn't want you there, so that but you know, for me, I'll circle them as John Madden. I mean, if somebody is a heckler and there's a guy who doesn't know it's not his turn to talk, or that's when he realized he probably look for the security man who's about to take him out of the show. Those are the types of things that I would do and just have fun with it, and sometimes they sometimes they're good. Sometimes it becomes you know, that's a whole thing on social media is people do the crowd interactions and then they come out to see. Like if you do a lot of crowd interactions and and put that out on social media, people actually come and want to be part of the show. And that's kind of damaged some comedy in a way. It's helped it, but it gets people out there. So that's getting people off their phones is always good.

00:33:34
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's Springsteen shows. People bring signs of songs they want him to play. Yeah, I don't know if you get the.

00:33:40
Speaker 8: I do a thing at the end where I'd say, if I didn't get to an impression that you haven't heard or if that you wanted to hear, call it out now. And then they will call different stuff out, whether it's like Steven A. Smith is one I usually forget. I understand where we're coming from. Some of these things, but we have to be included in this at the end of this as I'm potentially running for president of the United States of America to the republic for which it stands, frank not to pander. I think that's the imitation where you could fool people, Like if you were doing a radio show with Dan and did ten minutes, no one would get that. It's not Stephen A.

00:34:17
Speaker 10: Smith.

00:34:17
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just don't have his vocabulary if I could read it in front of me. That's the thing I'm amazed by him is he has a theosaurus in his he he can go to, he can do the entry and then five different words synonyms that fit with what that is. And I'm just I'm amazed by him. And I asked him about that one time he had the New York radio show for a while, and he's like, well, I was. I had trouble reading when I was a kid, so I had a stutter. So I got it wasn't trouble readers. I had a stutter. I had a stutter. So I tell my mother I was going to just start reading. I read and I and I don't even have the words to put it together. And that evokes something in me that became a tremendous reader.

00:34:59
Speaker 2: You you can just be funny of just throwing in line words that really don't make it, kind.

00:35:06
Speaker 8: Of make up words. Yeah, just throw contradictorily. I understand on a monopeia. On a monopea, I understand that you might be talking and sound a dog sounded like a bar. Is a sound that actually sounds like a bar. I know what I'm out of pa Is I read it after I read Amelia Badelia.

00:35:24
Speaker 10: He he is.

00:35:26
Speaker 3: Frank Caladendo.

00:35:27
Speaker 2: You can see him in Hartford and that'll be February thirteenth through the fifteenth, and then Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Utah, and early April here in San Francisco. Of course, Frank on stage dot com. Always great to see.

00:35:39
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me. Maybe I'll get Fritz. You're gonna come to a set at the Hartford Funny Bone. They've been pushing me to try to do something I know I heard earlier because Dylan Dylan's going up to do some here. I don't trust Dylan.

00:35:51
Speaker 2: Dylan Dylan goes into New York and does oh does he really he'll go on stage?

00:35:56
Speaker 8: Can he do it without being dirty? No, see, that's the thing I just did.

00:36:01
Speaker 3: Could all right? Is that an invitation for Todd to open for you in Hartford? Is that what you do?

00:36:05
Speaker 8: I'd let him go on if you want to. I think that would be great. Todd and then anyone going on after me were killed. I've been working on a couple of these bits. I'm not sure I say the thing I did the other day. Nothing I did the peanuts, peanuts, peanuts? Would you like peanuts? Is that you're dinner?

00:36:26
Speaker 3: Rubbish? Rubbish?

00:36:28
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:36:28
Speaker 2: That was that.

00:36:29
Speaker 3: That was a great bit.

00:36:29
Speaker 8: The problem is you get to I know, we gotta go commercial, but the problem is you get to it and you try to be funny instead of just being yourself being annoyed. When you're annoyed, it's the greatest thing. But I couldn't say same thing over and over and over. I couldn't say it the same thing over and over and over. I couldn't say the same thing over and over and over. I couldn't say the same thing over.

00:36:43
Speaker 4: You just did?

00:36:44
Speaker 10: I know that.

00:36:44
Speaker 4: I know that, I know that.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: Thank you, Frank. We'll take a break. Steve Young will Joy is coming up next hour. We're back after this.

00:36:57
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: Steve Young stopped by yesterday after the show.

00:37:11
Speaker 2: Got a chance to talk to him, and one of my favorite interviews, and I think he's the best NFL analyst out there. He joined us on behalf of a Sutter Health, a new partnership with Steve and the Forever Young Foundation, which he will talk about. And he came in on fire because he saw Mario and some of the backroom guys had DP show gear and he started on right away asking me about why doesn't he have DP show swag.

00:37:40
Speaker 10: No, look, Dan, you don't understand like it says that Dan Patrick Show and has a cool thing of you at the desk. Yeah, And so for me, I've been around a long time. Yeah, Like there's a connection. I don't know if you feel it, but I feel connected to the show. And so it's like I don't want your jacket because I need another jacket. I wanted to say, Dan Patrick Show. And then I go down to the creamery or I pick the kids up at school. People are like dude's cool. Dude's cool.

00:38:08
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll work on that. That's great to see you.

00:38:10
Speaker 10: It's good to see you too in person. I love it.

00:38:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look healthy, you look like give me a couple of plays, a couple Yeah.

00:38:17
Speaker 10: You know, I always said hunger games, if they said do it or die, I could run the screen game. I could. I could do something.

00:38:26
Speaker 3: But isn't that all they do now is run the little checkdowns.

00:38:29
Speaker 10: Don't get me started. Don't get me started. Because I always say this about you know, because older players always think that, oh, we had it so hard or we have it so tough. But there are fundamental differences. One that the quarterbacks can rub them footballs and get all this preservative off of it and get all the slickness stuff out him. The first quarter of the games that we'd play, our hand would be orange from all the preservative off the ball because they wouldn't let us touch it and it was slick. And then and now they can. So that's a big change.

00:38:59
Speaker 3: And then why shouldn't you be able to manipulate the football?

00:39:02
Speaker 10: Talk to Paul Tagubu for fifteen years, Dann Marino, myself, John Elway, Troy Aikman. We would all just like, please, let us get the crap off the footballs and let me you know, all competition fairness. Finally, Roger Goodel gets a spot and Tom and Peyton go to him in two thousand and six and go, look, bro, we got to end this. This is madness that quarterbacks have to worry about grabbing the football.

00:39:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Tom screwed it up by then.

00:39:31
Speaker 10: Okay, No, your brain likes to jump ahead, which I appreciate, just appreciate that that change was an amazing part of the change. And then, of course Tom might have gone a little bit further.

00:39:42
Speaker 3: But even then, it's your football for your team. I don't care what you do.

00:39:48
Speaker 10: I agree with you, and I think we'd all, as quarterbacks, would all say, look that it is not unfair to throw a football that you want to throw. You know, if you want to dribble a flat basketball, feel free. If you want to drive, you can't do it because both teams touch it. But but you get the idea, like make it so you can rip it. And so they get the balls that they play with today. Footballs they play with today on the sidelines of Monday nights when I'm there and I go, hey, let me, let me grab one of them. Honestly, I have a visceral reaction. I like, I grab it.

00:40:18
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh.

00:40:22
Speaker 10: If if Troy was the one that he and everybody's like, he's a We talked about it a lot, you know, and it's like, you're telling me that you can go out there and throw this thing.

00:40:31
Speaker 4: Now.

00:40:31
Speaker 10: Not only the rule changes, but I'm just telling you that change for quarterbacks. It's just I would I would love to go back what I could have been what I.

00:40:39
Speaker 3: Could what's your criteria for Hall of Fame quarterbacks?

00:40:44
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:40:44
Speaker 10: That's a hard one. Uh, you don't have a standard, No, because I think there's so much context to it. And and because they they'll always wait the things that quarterbacks can't control completely that Super Bowls team win, you know, like and and football is such a team game. I always say football quarterbacks needed a lot of help to get there. And so a lot of times you get a Hall of Fame quarterback with a Hall of Fame receiver or a Hall of Fame coach. It's like a lot of times that happens because that's how it needs to happen. In a way, the criterias is very bespoke for folks, and I don't you know, And I think there's even conversations around first ballot versus the second ballot and third ballot, and you know how they think about it. They're very serious about it. I will tell you that you might not agree with them, but they're super serious about it. I think the feeling is the criteria is you're I mean, it's already hard to play NFL football, and you can play great NFL football for a long time. I tip my cap to anyone who can do it.

00:41:43
Speaker 3: But would you have voted for Belichick?

00:41:46
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:41:46
Speaker 10: I mean Bill Belichick had two Hall of Fame careers. You can take one of them, oh, spygate or something else. I'm gonna we're gonna put them off a year, like, but he's got a whole other Hall of Fame career that he's in on, like in other words, he's got two or three Hall of Fame careers in a way, And so I just I feel like, yeah, I mean, are they going to do that? But I also I also feel like, if you think about spygett is a big mistake, Okay, put it away, and then what do you do and he goes it wins three more Super Bowls. So I mean he makes it on kind of any criteria come up with, right, Yeah, but.

00:42:22
Speaker 2: If they're going to hold it against him, now are they going to hold it against him next? Like, what's the difference? You still cheated? We're holding this against you unless it's just a one year where I kind of show you.

00:42:32
Speaker 10: Amongst amongst the Hall of Fame family. I think there is a feeling around first ballot. I think it's meaningful. It's it's something that's you know, says something. And I think there might be people that have voted that say, look, I'll do it, but not the first one.

00:42:50
Speaker 2: What do you think of what Dion said of first ballot? Hall of famers get a different shade of gold with their jacket, or maybe you get medals.

00:43:00
Speaker 10: It's already what it is like. And the thing with football is you you really do stand on the shoulders of a lot of people, and so football is built to kind of you have to come together. Fifty guys have to lose themselves in a way to come together. And so if you're kind of distinguished, you're you're being distinguished amongst a big group and so the idea that I want more distinguishment, like I'm on special, special special, it like it becomes at some point it's anathetical to the to the sport in a way. It's I think we got to be careful just because there are you know, excellence is excellence. But you know it's still as football. We stand on the backs of a lot of people who was.

00:43:40
Speaker 3: More athletic or maybe I don't want to say this.

00:43:44
Speaker 10: There we're going the bar. Now, okay, what are you who are gonna go to a fight?

00:43:46
Speaker 8: What?

00:43:46
Speaker 10: What?

00:43:47
Speaker 4: Who?

00:43:47
Speaker 3: Why? Why are you so irascible today?

00:43:50
Speaker 10: Because I know where you're going go?

00:43:51
Speaker 8: What's that?

00:43:52
Speaker 2: No?

00:43:52
Speaker 3: Tell me what I'm.

00:43:55
Speaker 2: You know somebody who was really athletic and kind of made you go wow. Oh if I say, oh okay, yeah, Now the journalists showed up here, we're gonna ask a question.

00:44:05
Speaker 3: Just now, Bo Jackson or Dion standers well.

00:44:09
Speaker 10: Again, the appreciation as an art form, you'd have to appreciate them in their uniqueness and context because they're not one to one. I mean, Dion had speed that was faster than any human I've ever now, like I'm sure there's Olympic sprinters, but on a football field with a helmet on, which is very different. There was speed that I had to for a little while. I couldn't throw to them at him because he would do things that belied my eye. You you play NFL quarterback, you get a keen sense of what an athlete can do, what a defender can do, and you know how to You've seen the throws in slow motion when it just misses the fingertips, and but you get really good at it. And when somebody is out like outer space, able to do things that don't make sense to your eye, you got to take a minute. And that's what I did with him. I'm gonna take some time with him because I can't gauge what he's doing. It's it's defies my eye. And that's he's the He's the one guy that I can say that did that now.

00:45:10
Speaker 4: Bo.

00:45:13
Speaker 10: I mean honestly, when I've been with elite athletes in different sports, when we gather, there's certain things that he had come together. Whether it's the Spies or you know, there's places where it happens when Bo walks in everybody everybody kind of it's you can just feel it. Bo is in a unique class of athletes that makes people just go. And Bo's a good friend, So I mean, you talk about irascable, my man, Bo do not do not get it his way, funny, funny dude, and I love him. But yeah, yeah, he's all that. But as far as the two of them, they're they're amazing, but they're different because Bo could do that the power. You watch this first at bat when he grounds the second and beats it out. Then he hits two home runs like he breaks the bat over his you know, like just it was it. Both of them are a little worldly. You'd want Bo for all the power and and and Dean for the.

00:46:11
Speaker 3: Speed most coming by in a couple of days.

00:46:14
Speaker 10: Tell him hello, he's a great friend.

00:46:16
Speaker 8: I hope he says that.

00:46:19
Speaker 4: Steve Young kisses me off.

00:46:21
Speaker 2: He's the Super Bowl champion quarterback for the Niners Hall of Famer, joining us on behalf of half of Forever Young Foundation.

00:46:29
Speaker 10: That's me, Yeah, yeah, what are you doing well? Sutter Health in the Bay Area. I'm always about prevention. My wife is very health conscious and we're and our healthcare models kind of break fix, like, hey, when you're sick, we got something for you, But how do we keep you from getting sick. And so Sutter Health has come to me and said, we want this next generation of kids. We want prevention. We want to get him out, we want to get him off their phone. We want to get him out. And because I'm a flag football guru, now you didn't know that, especially for girls, We've got a real effort to develop flag girls flag football in the area and that's what we're doing. And and Sutter Health, I mean, I'm I'm I'm pitching them because they're doing good stuff in the community and I like that, and I I really appreciate them. We've already had we had one on Saturday, a cool girls flag football camp. And the girls, when they understand the game at its core, at its root is timing, tactics and detail, they're like, oh, I get that now, where boys like I get that maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day. And so in that way, I can't wait for girls to play flag because every time they are exposed to it, it it again. I use the world visceral. They feel the game, they feel what it what it's about, and they can't wait to play it. And so I'm all about getting that opportunity. I appreciate Sutter getting in the middle of with me. They have the more power.

00:47:58
Speaker 4: I'm one guy.

00:47:59
Speaker 10: They have a lot of power to make that happen. So I'm excited about it.

00:48:02
Speaker 3: When did the Pro Bowl lose its luster?

00:48:05
Speaker 10: The Pro Bowl lost its luster when I took the biggest beatings I've ever taken in my football career were at the Pro Bowl. Now you laugh, because that makes no sense. Why would the biggest beating because nobody's You're playing with the elite players in the NFL, and everyone's doing on the beach all week and no one really knows the plays. And now Reggie White doesn't drink, you know what I mean, Reggie White is not hungover. And now it's like or Bruce Smith or name it, you know what I mean. And so there are Pro Bowls when I look back and I'm like, this is not right, this is not I just finished the Super Bowl and now I'm going to the Pro Bowl and I love being in Hawaii, but I'm not going to take a beating. So it was irrational, and it wasn't It couldn't be sustained because it's who's going to go do that and take that risk? And so but because flag is becoming so big. Dan, I think what's happening is flag was an answer that was kind of a I don't know, cheap answer to the Pro Bowl. I told the guys that, you know, I'm coaching with Jerry I. I pulled them aside and said, look, tomorrow, when we play, you're representing the fastest growing sport in the world. People are playing it because it's accessible and it's unique. And if you guys play like it's just a you know, football, like light football football light.

00:49:32
Speaker 4: It's not.

00:49:33
Speaker 8: It's not the truth.

00:49:34
Speaker 10: Flag has its own world now and it's elite. And I could tell you if we got an elite men's team to play those guys tomorrow. I think that elite men's team, so it's like getting them and that you could see their eyes light up. They're like, you're right, we got to make sure that. So I have two forty five minute sessions yesterday and today to get them ready to go break play elite flag football. But I think the Pro Bowl, if we'll keep playing flag, I think it'll become something that they could start to embrace themselves and not just be like ah Pro Bowl as a joke.

00:50:07
Speaker 2: You know, how does life change for Sam Donald if he wins the super Bowl, it's already changed.

00:50:13
Speaker 10: It's changed in a way that he has redefined his career. He's redefined who he is, how he plays in big games. Those are all.

00:50:22
Speaker 3: Important now, but it changed your life too.

00:50:24
Speaker 10: The super Bowl now can be the thing that you can I don't know. In some ways, you're a made man right now. You're in a place where you're going for two, which is just a different world. And so for Sam Donald, this is huge, and I think playing well because it is the biggest game. And Sam was fighting we all Peyton matting Tom Brady myself. Damn, it doesn't matter where you start. There's all years of filters and hurdles, and every time you jump one, they're like, well what about this, Well he hasn't done that. So you just spent your whole career trying to just run everything over. And so Sam's had to do the same thing, but further away because he started with the Jets. That's brutal. He went to Carolina when it was a bad spot for quarterbacks, got to Kyle Shanahan, saw the sun come out. Now we're gonna see the who is Sam Donald? Is he really that good. And if he plays well in the super Bowl, I think that not only redefines his career because he's already done that, I think he puts him in the elite state and now next ten years, do he win two? Sam Donald could be the guy, and I think that's kind of cool for him.

00:51:27
Speaker 3: He'd be on scholarship. But I look at Drake May like I do.

00:51:30
Speaker 2: Dan Marino was like, okay, young, yeah, you know, if he doesn't get it, he'll be back. How'd that go for Dan and Joe Burrow? I mean, I just say it, don't ever subscribe to that philosophy. Yeah, one of the most pains Danny has to every time he comes on these shows.

00:51:47
Speaker 10: It's brutal. When we went we went in the whole of Fame together, and so we did a lot of interviews together, and inevitably someone would go to Dan, well, you didn't win a super Bowl, and you can see Dan, you know, it just is, you know, and you're like, of all all the things that this guy did and now he has to just drag that around.

00:52:02
Speaker 2: But you didn't wear your super Bowl rings when you were with him, and you didn't you did not okay.

00:52:06
Speaker 3: Like put your hand on the desk and not like really loud claiming.

00:52:09
Speaker 10: You got to remember Dan and I met the first time. I remember you tell you you got that story.

00:52:14
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well no, you saw him play at Army Army and you're thinking, oh my god, we played the same position.

00:52:22
Speaker 10: He's throwing the ball differently than me.

00:52:26
Speaker 3: That's great to see you, Daniel. I'll get you some swag.

00:52:30
Speaker 10: I'm just wonder, just a giant just I mean, I love, but I want the whole thing, you know, the.

00:52:36
Speaker 2: ID love to you know, walk around in Steve young Jersey. But nobody will put it in my man cave.

00:52:41
Speaker 10: But for Young Found. We got to make the frevery young found.

00:52:44
Speaker 3: Nobody offered that Steve we we don't have that.

00:52:47
Speaker 10: We got to work on that.

00:52:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be nice. I could put it up there. I got all the great quarterbacks in my man cave.

00:52:54
Speaker 10: It's a lot easier to talk to you at it's not seven am. Why, I'm a little more alert, maybe too alert, that might be a problem. Maybe seven ins better.

00:53:04
Speaker 2: I like you when you're dumb down a little bit. I can take advantage of you water down. Yeah, thanks for joining us.

00:53:11
Speaker 3: Thank you
