This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I survived nine months in captivity and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the survivor files. Every week I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. Abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced.
These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're a bookshelf and you're a for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home.

And taking all of that knowledge to build a platform that hopefully is going to make New York City better in the long run. Listen to here's the thing on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour in this Tuesday, we'll talk to Luke Kekely, all the famer Netflix analyst. He'll join us coming up in a little bit. 877 3DP show operator, Tyler sitting by, he'll take your phone calls through the final
hour of the program. Todd is back. He's got a bandage on his hand finger and really an incredible comeback story for the ages. They tell me to take the week off and like, I gotta go back if the Dan's not gonna put up with any sort of all kinds of surgeries and then he comes back to the same day. I know. Not that I should have, by the way, I just didn't want to sit home. Oh, big night last night. I mentioned that last hour, tonight's a big night. We open up the envelope to find out exactly how much the wedding cost us. So yeah, that's going to be a big big event with my wife and I. I'm sure there'll be tears shed. Tears of joy. Like, I'm gonna have to work another year after that. Yes, Dylan. Have you considered just bearing it in the yard and now looking at it? I said to her, I don't want to know, huh? I'm okay. Last night I promised my wife that I would try to watch the Matrix and I got 23 minutes in and then that was it. Now not because I didn't like it.
I just can't sit still and she said, where are you going? I said, I'm going to watch Dateland. I'm going to smoke a cigar, have some tequila. Maybe maybe tonight we'll get back to watching the Matrix. I promise I'll finish it. Yes, Dylan. The 30 minute TV episode really was built for you because it's actually like, aren't they 22 minutes long? That is truly like that's where you kind of top out, I feel like. Or if I'm watching an episode of Reacher, then that'll be two days that I'll get it like 22 minutes and then I'll come back and get it like 30 minutes and get that taken care of. All right. So Todd is here, heroic effort. Dylan in the back row, Marv, Big Day Ray is sitting in the chair because Paulie is getting ready for day two of Paps in Perlough. I thought it was one and done and now I'm finding out they're going to do it every single day. And the response has been great.
Their first show and it's a Noon to One Eastern on P-Cock and NBC Sports now. All right. Dylan, pull question for hour three is going to be what? Well, if you were in line to inherit a large sum of money, would you coast or still work every day? Oh, I would have worked every day. Even if I won the lottery now, I mean, I'd still continue to work. But you kind of grow up in that environment that you're programmed. Now if you grow up in a different environment, then you'd probably react differently and say going around the country. I mean, I'm going to go live in another part of the world. Yeah, Dylan. Well, I grew up, both my parents worked. So they both had a strong work. I think I just don't know if it like transferred. I would agree with you. I think when you want to put your mind to it that you can work hard.
But I mean, you did do construction on this building. So when we're building this out, you were part of the construction crew with Marvin, also Jay, the big German. So you had to have work ethic to help build this place out because I gave you guys three months to make this look like a man cave, which was not fair to you guys. This was a six month job. No doubt about it. And I remember we did our last show at the other man cave. And the big German said, when do you want to have our first show? And I said, three months. And he goes, okay. And I don't know if Eric had hair back then, but he's bald now. But I just remember I said three months and I had a friend of mine who helped build the other man cave. And he said, how much time are you given the big German? I go three months, he goes three months to finish what?
I go the whole thing. He goes, oh my gosh. And he did it right to the day, the day before we did our first show, we had this thing up and running, looking good. I had a lot of people. Remember we cut down the nets that last day? Well, some of us did. Todd complained that we didn't have left handed scissors. Yes, you do not provide a lefty scissor, which is important for the lefty. But if you're watching on PCO, Grand DC Sports now, Todd is going up the ladder of the old man cave and doesn't realize that if you pull on the net, it makes it easier to clip the net because it's like a nice and taught. Yes, yes, indeed. I thought I taught you the correct way. I thought it was a cause we're just getting up the yes, there's the little school. And it's terrible. Get about actually cutting that. Yeah. I don't know what this is leading to other than work ethic, is that what we're talking about? Yes, yes, Todd. I will say that if you have the financial means to chase your dreams and take risks
and everything and not worry about failure or that someone is counting on you for or including yourself for money, that's got to make it a lot easier to go after things knowing that worst case scenario, I got millions of dollars waiting for me to inherit. Thank you, Todd. Welcome. Stadded. That might have been an obvious point, but I think it should be said in actual words. Most of your points are obvious points. There. The podcast today, oh my goodness, get ready for that. You know, I had somebody say to me, you need to warn people not to have their wife or kids in the car. And I try to give you a disclaimer, do not listen with your wife or kids in the car. When you're listening to the Todd cast or the gambling podcast, just letting you know, kind of free flowing. Dylan is the therapist with Todd. He's lying down for an hour and just getting things off his chest. He's not making much progress on the, what the therapy? None, actually. Yes, Dylan. It's nothing worse than they're going to hear at school anyways.
I don't want to be the one that is delivering it to them. They can hear it at school, not from me. Stadded the day brought to you by Penini America, the official trading card to the Dan Patrick show. Next Saturday, Premier League, it's whole city and Aston Villa. Both clubs look to make a statement when they kick off at 1230 Eastern on NBC and Peacock. Here's something random today. NFL cut down day on Sunday. We realize the dolphins are bad. They are probably going to be in competition with the Cardinals for worst record, probably over under three and a half. The dolphins claimed seven players off waivers. They have $182 million in dead cap money in 2026. So they're paying that to players no longer on the team. And you start to go, how do you get this bad? And then you bring in Malik Willis. Now I like Malik Willis.
I was hoping he would have gone to the Steelers if Aaron Rogers didn't come back. I think he's got potential. So he goes to the dolphins. Well he wants to prove, and by the way, dolphins got an unbelievable quarterback friendly deal. Three years, he's going to make around $20 million a year, something like that. It's a team friendly deal. I like what they're doing to bring in Malik Willis because they will draft a quarterback. And then Malik Willis will be there probably for two years. And then maybe you turn the reins over to Dante Moore, Arch Manning. You have the second hardest schedule in football this year. And I wouldn't have gone with Malik Willis. I probably would have said, let's just keep Quinn Ewers. I mean, let's just throw somebody out there. Let's get through the season. I think their GM said that success is not about wins this year. Okay.
I might be paraphrasing that, but the dolphins are going to be really bad. And then you start to look at the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes. I went back and looked at the 2020-23 season. Don't ask me why. Okay. They won the Super Bowl. And I've just curious of turnover with great teams. Here's the dolphins with turnover and they're terrible. Here are the wide receivers that the Kansas City Chiefs, they average, I think, just under just over 29 points of game, regular season, put up 38 in the Super Bowl. Highest scoring offense in football. There's no Tyree Kill here. Their wide receivers are Juju Smith Schuster, not on a roster this year. Justin Watson, not on a roster. Marquez Valdez scantling, not on a roster. Caderius Tony, not on a current roster. McColl Hardman, not on a roster.
Sky Moore is on the Packers. Running backs. Isaiah Pacheco, no longer there. Derek McKinnon, Ronald Jones Jr. III, Clyde Edwards, Alair. Patrick Mahomes pulled off. Now they didn't have Kelsey, but this is Tom Brady. Brady Edgaronk and interchangeable parts at wide receiver. That is an incredibly underrated performance by Patrick Mahomes. He might have to do that again this year. They do have some players you are least aware of, but they averaged 29 a game. Highest scoring offense and they put up 38 winning the Super Bowl with that receiving court. Because when they traded Tyree Kill, we're probably all in unison going, oh my God, what are they doing? What they knew what they were doing. That's a testament to Mahomes.
Only that front office, I guess, entrusting him. I would prefer that my front office gave me really good players instead of a, this is all we got. Do your best and they won the Super Bowl that year. Yes, Dylan. It's like the curse of being the best where they're like, you can make it work with these guys, right? And then that's what they give you. But this year, I feel like this is the quietest year for the Chiefs going into the season that it's been in a bit. Obviously, it's been kind of trending downwards. But the Chiefs said 16 to 1, the one that win the Super Bowl. I don't hate that. Obviously, that division's gotten a little tougher. But well, I like that they got Walker there, but Chris Jones is another year older. You got it. Ritomic Duffy went to the Rams. Kelsey's a year older. The offensive line will be healthy. Healthy. People will help. But you know, Creed Humphrey.
He's been there a while. Man, when you find yourself a center, you're like, hold on for dear life. Those guys, like when the Raiders got Tyler Lindenbaum, I went, what an unbelievable pick-up. And I remember talking to a friend of mine. And he's like, wait, a center? And I go, oh my God, with a rookie quarterback? Yes. Having somebody got experience? Absolutely. Let me get a couple of phone calls in here. Luke Keekley will stop by. Let's see. Max in South Carolina. Good morning, Max. What's on your mind? Morning, Dan. How you doing? Great, great, great. First time, long time. Five, nine, swim, 250. Hey, I always talk about Southern Tell. What I want you to do this weekend is focus your attention to the real USC on South Carolina. The Williams Bryce is going to be swaying. It's going to be about 95 degrees, 100% humidity, about 70,000 plus.
Fritzie, get better, go Cox. Okay. All right. Yeah, when I've been to down in South Carolina, if I've gone down to see Hoody and the Blowfish, and then you'll, if you say USC, they think you're talking about South Carolina. And I went down there with my son for a Hoody and the Blowfish golf tournament, and he was telling everybody went to USC. And then he realized that they thought he went to South Carolina. He goes, no, no, I went to the USC. I said, you don't have to do that, you know? It's okay. Let South Carolina have their victory here. You're okay. South Carolina plays Kent State, week one. Yes, Mord. But your son's not wrong. Nationally, somebody says, where'd you go? USC? Who's going to say South Carolina? You're right. You're right. Aiden in Utah. Aiden. More in DP. It's been a long time, so that's called in. Get to see you guys. Get to see you, Fritzie, that you made it off the deathbed. Listen, I got, hey, by the way, we did get the wedding invitation.
And I did talk about it on the show. So just want to let you know that thank you for the invitation. Of course, of course, if you have missed like two weeks of the show after my wedding, I also realized that I didn't put a return address on the letter. The first time sending a physical letter, Dan, so I've got to let you know that. What's on your mind? I've got a pie to the face, but okay. The Rams will not make the NFC championship. Okay. Anybody want a piece of Aiden in Utah newly married, the Rams don't make it to the NFC title game. Oh, Dylan. All right. I think they lose in the NFC title game. Well, that's not the bet. No, he's saying they don't make it. Yeah. Yeah, so I think they'll make it and then they lose in that game, so I will take the bet. Wait, you're taking the bet. Yes. Yeah, but he said that they won't make it to the title game.
No, I think they'll make it to the title game and then lose in the title game. But okay, he says they do you understand what the bet is? Yes. Aiden says they won't make it to the NFC title game. Yes, I think they will. So I will take the bet and then I added on saying I think that that's when they lose is in the title game. Okay. Aiden, you okay? Dylan's going to take you up on that. Makes sense to me. Thank you, Aiden. Joe and Iowa. Hey, Joe, what do you have for me today? Hi, Dan. I was so touched and inspired by Todd's Heralding experience yesterday that I came up with a little ditty to the tune of the Ramones blitz Creek Bot. Oh, okay. You're familiar with that. Oh, yes, I am. All I have is just the chorus. Roast short. Here we go. Okay. Paulie in the front row. Marvin in the front row.
Dylan in the back row. Fritzie sucks. Love you, Fritzie. I was bopping along to that. Yeah. You set me up. He thought he was going to say something. Yeah, this is a cute little ditty came up with very creative and then he took a shot. Blitz Creek Bot. I never got the Ramones. Sorry. No. No. I thought that they were like a novelty and like, okay, although Bono talks about being inspired by the Ramones. I'm sure there are a lot of people fans inspired. I just once again, as a Zeppelin snob, stones, who snob, you know, the Ramones, okay. Yeah. Not just saying, just letting him be honest with it. I thought the Ramones were like, okay, like Joey Ramone and I know the whole thing. Yeah. Yes. I'm not going to say Ramones over you to any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Oh my God. You too.
You too. Not good. Really? They were the biggest band in the world for a while or they were never the biggest band in the world. Yes, they were. They're big. They were the biggest band in the world. When they were doing those stadium tours, come on. Everyone does stadiums now. I'm not going to do this today. Okay. I'm not going to do this today. It is early in the week. How about we take a break? The Hall of Famer Luke Kekeley, not Marvin. Who gets you angry? Dylan or Todd? Well, I'm used to Todd. So I, you know, but Dylan, Dylan likes to do this. Todd's not mean spirit. I don't intend to poke you. Dylan definitely goes to the bottom. Dylan does. Dylan does. Let me take a break here. Luke Kekeley is going to join his next.

I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low-taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable.
I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. These aren't stories about what's taken from them. Their story is about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinierro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes, without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like,
you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey there everybody, Amy Robock and TJ Holmes here from the Amy and TJ podcast with mid to elections just around the corner. We're breaking down the biggest political stories leading up to November. And some of those big political stories aren't just what's happening on Capitol Hill. Yes, we just saw Lindsey Graham, the death of a long time senator. Also, we've got a couple of missing members of Congress. Also, we got a lot of members of Congress behaving badly. We got accusations, allegations flying all day long on Capitol Hill. It's just like a reality show. We're going to cover everything you need to know during this heated political season.
And it starts with our morning run. Yes, go for a run with us. Maybe you can take us along when you're on your actual run outside. Or if you don't feel like going out still, you get what we're saying. It's our morning run. It's our daily news rundown of the top stories of a get you going before you even finish that first cup of coffee. Listen to Amy and TJ on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcasts. I'm Jake Brennan. And on my podcast, Hollywood Land, I revisit some of the biggest stories from Hollywood history separating the myths people want to believe from the reality underneath them. Like how the story of Marilyn Monroe isn't just the story of the Hollywood icon. Marilyn Monroe has become so iconic that her death can only be explained through conspiracy theories. And for some fans who can't let go, these stories have metastasized from conjecture to accepted fact. So on August 4th, 1962, Marilyn Monroe died.
Then the rumors started and she died again. And now we're going to set the record straight and learn about the way Marilyn Monroe actually died in the third way. Learn more about what happens when fame, media obsession and conspiracy collide. Listen to Hollywood Land on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I like the clash. I'm just, I thought the Ramones were kind of a novelty band. That's all. Doesn't make me a bad guy because I don't, you know, like punk rock. The Beatles created punk rock with hilders, skilder. Go back and listen to that. Tell me about punk rock. Knucklehead. I'll give the clash more credit for the punk rock department than the Beatles. The Beatles held created. Go back and listen to Helter Scelter. I understand we were saying like, and they did that in the 60s. Oh my God. What Marvin?
Sorry, DP. Chad GPT said in 2009, YouTube reinforced their status as the biggest rock band in the world through their long to their massive YouTube 360 tour. Thank you. Was that before or after they downloaded that terrible album? That's completely Hall of Famer Netflix lead game analyst. I don't know if you want any part of this. We're fired up here, Luke. I'm ready to play a game, you know, getting kind of feisty in here. Do you miss hitting people? I miss, I miss being a locker room. I don't, I don't miss hitting people. I think, I think being on the game on the field before games past couple years, you see guys run by and you decide you don't want anything to do with, with those guys that running back the offensive linemen, even the receivers feel like they've gotten bigger and bigger. I tell people, if you want to see a football game, if you can watch it from the sidelines, you'll have a whole different appreciation for what that game sounds like and how fast it is. I don't know if you had that feeling. You're welcome to the NFL moment. What was that like?
Well, you know what's interesting. You talk about watching it from the field. You don't ever listen to the game or hear the game or feel the game when you're playing. But during 2020, that was my first year when I was done playing. I worked with the Panthers in the front offices and I was on the field for some of those games and there was no one in the stands to start the year. So you could hear everything. Every hit, every sound, every time a guy puts his foot in the ground and makes a cut and you start to realize, how do I, how do I play out here during this game for that long? Because guys, it's, it's fast, it's physical. And I'm glad that that I was on the sideline at that point. Do you have that welcome to the NFL moment? Yeah, it was, it was Michael Robinson. So my, my rookie year, we played Seattle at home. It was my first game plan at Inside Backer and Russell Wilson escaped from the pocket. I'm in zone coverage. I drop. He starts running towards the line of scrimmage and I feel like I have a clean shot on them.
I've got a great angle. I'm running right at him. I think I'm going to make a big hit. And at the last second, he cuts to my left. I turned my head in my Robinson number 26 is running full speed at me. And Russ, Russ had kind of set me up. I didn't see my Robinson. And he smacked me and the first thing I remember is being on the ground. And I remember looking up at him and he had a big smile on his face. And it was, it was early on. I was probably, I think that was probably week three or week four. And you realize the game happens a lot faster than it used to in college. And when I see Mike, Mike to this day, there's still that little smirk that he got on today. He knows that he got me pretty day on good. If you didn't go to BC, where were you going? You know what? Stanford, Stanford Duke in Virginia where the school was in addition to Boston College that I, that I looked really hard at. Stanford was probably, you know, right up there. That was, that was Harbaugh and Andrew Luck and that whole crew.
And then Coach Cutcliffe at Duke. I really, I really liked him. He was a, he was a great man, a great football coach. But BC was always, was always home for me. But I think Stanford with Harbaugh and Duke with Cutcliffe were two places that would have been good options for me. But growing up, you know, in Cincinnati, Ohio State recruit you? Not really. You know, when I was being recruited, I was, I was small. I was skinny. I went very big. And quite frankly, if I was recruiting people at a Cincinnati, I probably would have recruited me if I was Ohio State either. So really? Now I was a little, I was a 200 pound linebacker that, that was taken biology class and chemistry class. I carried a lunch box around. I don't really, I don't really blame anybody for not recruiting me. Wait, you had a lunch box? Oh, yeah, every day. Was it a themed lunch box? It was, you know what?
I was fortunate that when I went to school, I have two brothers and my mom would wake up and make breakfast and make lunch, lunches for us every day. And it was a very well-balanced lunch box. She did a great job. So yes, I don't know if the lunch box itself was themed, but what was inside of it was very much themed. All right. So Luke and Netflix, Game Day kicks off with the Game Down Under in Melbourne. It'll be, shouldn't you be leaving for Australia now? Yeah, we're leaving. We leave, we leave us on Sunday. So it's, I've been trying to wrap my head around it. We leave on a Sunday and I think we get there on a Tuesday because they're ahead of us. Plus the time change and the flight. It took me a second to kind of wrap my head around how all that works. But yeah, we're leaving soon. We leave on winter on Sunday of this week. Okay. That'll be coverage starting at 630 Eastern kickoff at 830 Eastern next week. Are you expecting Aaron Donald to be in Australia?
That would certainly make it more exciting. Honestly, I think it would be really cool if he played. I think what I think about with this whole thing is running great, a geodes great. You watch all the videos of him and him training. He looks phenomenal. I think the one question that I'd ask myself is what happens when people start leaning on you? I think that's probably the biggest thing. If I were to go back and play after not playing for two years, how were you able to brace for impact? How are you able to minute contact to the speed at which it's going to happen in the game? So I think for the game's sake, I would love for him to play. I think it adds a tremendous amount of storylines and him and Miles Garrett and how the rest of that defense line benefits from him being in the game. But I think if you're the Rams, you've got to figure out what's the best long term approach for having him part of that team when they make a push in December, January. How does Aaron Donald impact the linebackers on the Rams with him back? All right.
Good luck getting up to him. I think if you're Nate Landman and that crew right there, you're running clean to the football. Let's be honest. It's Aaron Donald. There's Miles Garrett, Kobe Turner. And then the one guy that's going to benefit the most from this is Byron Young. You got to block those big and breaking fists. You got to block those big guys up front before you get to the second level. So if you're those Rams linebackers, you're just sitting there smiling knowing that, hey, they got to block these monsters before they get up to us. You sat Stafford before? I didn't even get near him. Nope. Not anywhere close to him. My past rushing skills are very, very minimal. How many sacks did you have in your career? Man, I think I had 12 and two or three or four of them were cleaned at a football. So that requires zero past rush ability. I do. Who did you get that you go? I can tell my grandkids.
Man, well, in the Super Bowl, Sean McDermott called it great, a great blitz and I got paid manning and that required again, zero, zero skill. The biggest thing you have to do is you make sure you get them on the ground. It was I was clean right up the middle to paid manning and the hardest thing is to not miss them. So that's my, that'd be my most memorable quote by exact. You know, we look at those teams that lose the Super Bowl and we used to label like you were a disappointment. Like the Buffalo Bills went to four consecutive Super Bowls. And I said, why are we celebrating that you got to the Super Bowl? I know you guys got embarrassed, but what's it like in that game that everybody's watching you and everybody's going to have some kind of opinion about you or your team after something like that? I think everybody's going to have a opinion regardless if win, lose, draw, how the season went. But you know, you, I don't think that that season, when you look back on it and you get
perspective and the further away, you know, that team gets from that game, I think we realize how special that year was, how fun the OTAs were, the off season training camp, the journey through that season into the playoffs, to play off games at home, the energy in the city, in the Carolinas and had the opportunity to play in a Super Bowl, I think was, was super special. Obviously, you want to win that game and that's the ultimate goal playing football. But I think the memories and the opportunities we had that season and the players that we put on that team, that the front office did a great job, is what made that season special. I don't think it's defined by one game or, you know, the disappointment of not winning the Super Bowl. I think for us, it was more, how special that team was, how fun that team was, how special that group was together and I think when you look back on it, that's that's a positive that really came from it.
You think Cam Newton will be a hall of fame? I think he should be just, and I got to see it on a, on a daily basis, but I don't think for that stretch there that Cam had, I don't think there was a more dominant player when you walked out on the field than Cam. And I think, you know, his ability to affect the game, throwing and obviously running the ball, short yardage goal line, and walking out for coin tosses for teams that we didn't play a whole lot and watching those guys walk out and look at Cam. It's like, it's like they had no idea he was that big and it looked like he got 10 times bigger when he, when is in, when is in his uniform because he had the rib pads and the shin pads and the hair and the wrist bands and he just got bigger and bigger as, as game they approached. Because that following year, didn't you open up with Denver in Denver? Yeah, yeah. And I remember the Broncos beat the hell out of Cam in that game.
They were, they were lining him up and pounding him. And I just kept remember being on the field and seeing how big he was and realizing what these defensive players were doing to him. That is, they, they pounded him that night and, you know, kept getting back up, but, you know, after a while, those hits take their toll. Yeah, he's, he's always showed that he was made of concrete. That he was like a pillar out there. You just hit him and hit him and he just keeps, he keeps getting back up. But I think it's a testament to, number one, his toughness and number two is competitive drive and who he is as a person and a lot of stuff that Cam did. We kind of, big, I'll just Cam being Cam and then when you think about it, you start to realize how special what he did for that team was. Calling a game now, it's one thing to watch when you're at home with your buddies.
But, you know, you're going to be there with Noah Eagle. You got to get in and get out. Get in, get out. Like you have a finite amount of time that you go, I got 15 seconds here or I got 12 seconds here. How do you work mentally of being an analyst? Well, I think you start to just understand that, hey, I have a job and I have a team, it knows, knows your teammate and you start to realize that I have to do my job in a way that allows Noah to do his job. So I think, quick, in and out, concise, get your point across, make it digestible and understandable and then get out and allow Noah to do his job as well. He's phenomenal. He's so easy to work with. He sets you up great and then it's my job. Like you said, to get in, get my point across, get my point articulated and then allow Noah to set the play up and do what he does best as well. So I think that's what makes it fun is the teamwork aspect of that booth. Okay, but is this any different than what you did defensively where get in, get out of
the huddle or make your call, then there's the play, now regroup, get in, get out, get ready for the next play. I think to a sense, to an, in a sense, yes. The, the procedure, I think, is a little bit different because in the game, I think you're digesting, I get a play call in my ear and then I've got to relay it to the guys in the field and then I, like you said, I got to break the huddle and turn around and I, and digest what's going on. So you're kind of thinking all the way up to the snap as far as, as a player versus, I think in the booth, you're, it's more of reactionary and then, hey, based on what happened on the field, what can I give the viewers to help educate them, give them further contacts versus while you're playing, it's like, all right, hey, what do I like? What do I like out of our menu on third and sixth? What do I, what did I watch during practice and during tape that allows me to have success? Maybe what do I need to tell the guy next to me?
Maybe Thomas is telling me something different. So I think it's, it's more of a living organism while you're, while you're playing because there's a ton of other guys that you're working with versus in the booth, I think it's, you know, it's my, one of my first times doing is some so trying to figure it out a little bit as well, but it's more of what I saw, let me give somebody something quick that they can chew on, get in and get out and then let Noah do his job as well. Yeah, wait till like three years, two years and you listen back to this and then you'll go, oh my gosh, because we all do it. I went back to my, like my early sports center days, I'm going, oh my God, so bad. You know, it's part of the evolution, the progress, the process of it. So and you've got a great person to set you up. The key is with play by play, they can make or break you and you got Noah who learned from his dad, he's going to put you in a position to succeed and you know, that, that'll help you instead of you scrambling to go out.
I got nine seconds here. I can't say anything. The Noah will be very good at being brief with his comments to give you, you know, that room for opportunity and so it'll, it'll be fun for you. I at least I hope it will be and don't read social media, okay? Yeah. Just stay off. I told JJ what that I said, dude, don't, don't be on. He goes, no, why not? I go, okay, because I can take it. I said, all right. Well, you're tougher than I can. I don't want to know what social media is going to say. They're never happy about anything, Luke. Yeah, I think, you know, you kind of learned as a player. You can always find whatever you want on social media. If you think you're the greatest thing, you can find somebody that says, you're the greatest thing. If you want to find somebody that says you stink, if you look hard enough, you can find that too. So it's one of those things. Whatever you want, yeah, social media to say, you can find it and filter it and figure it out. So like you said, I think I'm lucky to have Noah in there because he's so good and he
has fun. He's got a great personality and he's quick and I'm certainly looking forward to everything. He's a lot of fun. Good to talk to you again. Congratulations on the Hall of Fame, Luke. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right. Luke Kekeley Hall of Famer, Netflix lead game analyst, former NFL defensive player of the year and first round pick, like what ninth overall out of Boston College. It's one of those where you see somebody and you go, how do you end up there? And then you realize he wasn't ready for the Ohio State or some of these other programs. Plus, he wanted to get an education. That pesky education. What are you doing? Get an education. Yes, right? His career is honestly unbelievable. He's made an all pro every single year besides his rookie season and his rookie year, he won defensive rookie year and had 164 tackles. Arguably his best year. Yes, Dylan. Yeah, when his other school options were Virginia, Duke and Stanford and I got him a big trend here. Yeah. Well, take a break.
Last call for phone calls, what we learned, what's in store tomorrow and again, a round of applause from Fritzy, one of the great heroic efforts I've ever seen. He made it back after life threatening surgery. What back after this? Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at FoxSportsRadio.com.

I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who lived through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed and I just started screaming.
They are abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. Their stories about what it takes to make it out alive.

I'm Jake Brennan and on my podcast Hollywood Land, I revisit some of the biggest stories from Hollywood history. And I'm just spreading the myths people want to believe from the reality underneath them. Like how the story of Marilyn Monroe isn't just the story of a Hollywood icon. Marilyn Monroe has become so iconic that her death can only be explained through conspiracy theories. And for some fans who can't let go, these stories have metastasized from conjecture to accepted fact. So on August 4th 1962, Marilyn Monroe died. Then the rumors started and she died again. And now we're going to set the record straight and learn about the way Marilyn Monroe actually died. The third way. Learn more about what happens when fame, media obsession and conspiracy collide.
Listen to Hollywood Land on the IHART Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Maybe you have somebody else who offered up punk before the Beatles did with Helter Skelter. I'm all ears if that's the case, somebody can point to somebody else. But I think that Helter Skelter to me is punk rock. And the Beatles did that before anybody else. I don't know what chat GPT says, but if we could do that, see if they have who is the first to provide punk music, yes, Dylan. So the proto punk pioneers, the Stooges and MC5 velvet underground, the New York dolls. And then this section that says codifying the genre then, your hormones. Yeah. No, they were punk. I get it. But the Beatles were before New York dolls, you know, Iggy and the Stooges, MC5.
Beatles, did the Beatles create punk music punk rock? I still would lean sex pistols and the clash, but they were well after the Beatles. Yeah, but the Beatles, just because you could have like a punky sound, they created the punk sound before anybody else. Maybe they only did it once, but did they create it? Did anybody else have anything close to Helter Skelter? Back in the 60s. I mean, didn't everyone steal everything from Chuck Berry anyways? This isn't Chuck Berry. Yeah, they did steal a lot from Chuck Berry. They acknowledged that they were taking it from Chuck Berry. He was an idol there, just like Keith Richards, same way. Helter Skelter is, that's different, right? Fine. Fine, I'll allow it. Yes, Mark. We need another music guest, then. It's never fun when I argue with Dylan because we, you know, when I win, I don't feel like I've won.
I mean, just like I'm teaching my son, you know, things in life. And he goes kickin' and screaming. You don't want to hear it. I'll die on the U-Tail Hill again. Another Hill. You said they weren't the biggest band in the world at any point. They were. They were the biggest band in the world. You may not like them, which you don't, but they were the biggest band in the world. Chris in L.A. Hi, Chris. Good morning, Dan. You know, I just wanted to help put a bow on this U.S.C. Coliseum game, so that picture did look horrible. But I think there's a multiple to the factors. One was the blister heat. I mean, it's been hot out here beyond normal for three weeks. Then I was even going to go to the game, but. And take it to our cheap. They were like 11 bucks a day before, but I said, I'm not going to sit in those plastic hot seats in the Coliseum. Pay $80 for parking just to see San Jose State.
So I think a lot of it is 80% probably the heat. It would be like Michigan having a record snowstorm expecting people to show up. They would show up. They would, this isn't a record heat wave. It's hot. They show up. Look at Buffalo, Ohio State, Michigan. They're going to show up no matter what the weather is. It's just Los Angeles. There's other things to do. I get that. Don't put out an apology. Jared and Iowa. I Jared, what do you have for me today? Hey, Danny. Just wanted to I felt compelled to call you today because of your conversation with Kyle Long. Really kind of hit home with me today. I appreciate you talking about your struggles in the past. You mentioned to Kyle today about times where he didn't want to get out of bed. I've been there and still fighting through it. I'm a bearers fan. I'm 45 year old, dude.
I didn't know Kyle dealt with that either. But he was the whole as my guy, as was his dad. I love his brother, Chris, too. But no, I appreciate that conversation today. It meant a lot to me. Hopefully it meant a lot to anybody else that's kind of struggling with that. Thank you, Jared. And good luck. I finally broke down and told my wife that I'd just gone through this depression. I didn't know what it was. I had never experienced it. She said, talk about it on your show. Maybe you can help somebody. It turns the light on for somebody. And I'm like, oh my God. And then you just do it. It's like put your ego to the side. Who cares? Do something that maybe helps somebody. And hopefully we did. It's like when Bo Jackson came on and talked about cancer, prostate cancer. Thanks for joining us for Fridsey, Dylan, Marv, Paulie,
and Big Day Ray. We'll talk to you tomorrow. I survived nine months in captivity and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them.
