This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. We say good morning if you're watching the program on Peacock and NBC Sports now and our radio affiliates around the country. We'll have a new poll question and I do have World Series odds. We got baseball all day all night on NBC and Peacock, all of the wild card round matchups and keep in mind. It's a best of three and the Yankees will be without Aaron Judge for that opening series against the Red Sox. Your World Series odds. It's the Dodgers as you would expect plus 200. The Brewers are second plus 600. Then it's the raise plus 800 followed by the Yankees plus 850. Those odds would change dramatically without Aaron Judge in there. In case you're wondering the White Sox the longest of shots at plus 4,000. Statt of the day brought to you by Penini America, the official trading card to the Dan Patrick show.

Coming up Saturday night. It'll be Washington and USC. That's at the Coliseum. Is this must win situation here? And you know, with the overall picture, they had the loss there with Oregon. They could have lost in, you know, Piscata wagons, Rutgers. Now you got you dub coming to town. You can watch that seven Eastern NBC and Peacock. It'll be big 10 Saturday night. Let me see if I have anything else that you might find interesting. Draft Kings just sent me this. NFL offensive player of the year, odds. It's Jeremiah Love, a big favorite here. Denzel Boston, Jadarian Price, Kenyan Sadeek. He had a great catch this past game and Carl Tate, those are your odds. The rookie offensive, rookie of the year, defensive, rookie of the year. Jacob Rodriguez. Then it's David Bailey, Sonny Styles, Arvel Reese and Caleb Downs.

We will have the overshadowed, we do this every Tuesday. Ray does a great job. He finds five players that were overshadowed by some, you know, by teammate, by way of game finished. So here we go. The overshadowed players from Tuesday starts out with Steelers running back, Jalen Warren, 17 carries, 127, 49 yards receiving, leading off the overshadowed Tuesday. Second on that list, Chicago wide receiver, Calif Raymond, six catches, 90 yards in a touchdown last night. He currently is tied for seventh in the NFL and catches with 19. Calif don't like it. Rock the Kansba, Calif Raymond. Bill's defensive end, Greg Russo, eight total tackles, two sacks.

He is starting to look like one of the better pass rushers in football. Through three weeks, he is first in pressures with 23, first in sacks with six and first enforced fumbles with three for a defense that needs to have one of those impact players. Okay. Mason Graham, Brown's defensive tackle. This guy is looking like he is. So that's where they draft day, they made the trade and then they got Mason Graham defensive tackle out of Michigan. Do you have that draft on that draft day, Greg? They crushed that draft. They traded down so the Jays get Travis Hunter. They got Mason Graham, Carson Swaychinger, who won defense of rookie of the year, then Quinchon, Junkins and Harold Fanon Jr. With their top four pass. That's good. I'm telling you, they are close. They are. It's not with this quarterback room, but they are close. Graham has the most sacks in the NFL as an interior defender for.

So he is ahead of Zach Allen to force Buckner Leonard Williams just a name of you. And the final overshadowed player this weekend, Broncos Safety, Tolanoa Huffanga. Hopefully I got close to that Todd. That sounds about right. Thank you Todd. Five tackles, one sack, two interceptions and one of those was a pick six. So he was with the Niners a couple of years ago. Second team all pro last season with Broncos and one of the better safeties. But when you have the defensive player of the year in Patrick's or 10, you're going to get overshadowed. That's why he's part of overshadowed Tuesday. Yes, Todd. And that second interception we should say was the final touches of the Broncos win. That was the last second pick off that officially ended the Rams chances. Thank you, Todd. Dylan, what's the poll question? Well, talking a little baseball today, Dan. So off of the top four odds wise teams to win the World Series, as you just mentioned. Who are you taking to win it all?

So Dodgers, which I in obvious answer, but then you also have the Brewers, the Reyes, and the New York Yankees. I'm going to go with the Brewers. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go old school pitching, timely hitting, defense. And I'll take the Brewers. Yeah. The Yankees, it's, you know, that's different now without Aaron Judge in there. People like the Guardians. Like they're just kind of pesky, you know, rascals, itchy and scratchy. Yes, yes, Dylan. Talk about overshadowed. They were so close to winning the World Series, but the whole Cubs narrative just totally blew past any notion that the Guardians were there. Right? Thank you, Dylan. You're welcome. Dodgers rubbing off on you. Todd's stopping. Sorry, no. Is what happens? No. He literally is rubbing off on you. I told him, I definitely told him to stop that. By the way, I learned some things with the Todd cast last week and Todd.

I don't remember what I said. I'm sure it was. Well, you see me at a different light now. What happens? Well, you talked about the religious holiday and things that you can and can't do. And I think you broke just about every, I don't know if it's a rule. And I fasted. I didn't eat a drink for a full 24 hour period. Sunset to sunset. But, yeah, I engaged in a few things. Yes, that you weren't supposed to. Technically, you're not supposed to. Yes. But you told me that it was important. You took that day off and then you don't even adhere to what you're supposed to adhere to. There's a lot of rules. It's hard to follow every one of them. You're starving myself, you're knowing my appetite. That was more than enough. Yes, Marvin. So, Fritzy, do you partake in these religious celebrations because of family pressure or is it something you truly practice? A lot of it was just how I was brought up. Some of it is together work and the rest of it is whatever. Miscellaneous things. In that order.

I do think that you take the day off because you want the day off that you want. It's a hard leave. That's terrible. I heard my feelings because you're not supposed to work either on the holiday and I'm watching the show and you're not supposed to watch TV and I'm sending you guys little notes and look ahead, promos and guest ideas and things that I'm not supposed to be doing. So I'm not really, I'm home working basically when I'm supposed to shut it completely down if you're father, the letter of the Yom Kippur law. Being his first star since Christmas Eve of 2023, Case Keenum with two touchdowns, he ran for another one and he's now won games with seven different teams tying him with Ryan Fitzpatrick for most NFL history. Here comes that. What? What? Statt of the day. Bearshead coach Ben Johnson on Case Keenum's night. It's all about Case Keenum and what he was able to do here tonight.

I thought he did an extraordinary job when the running game's not going as a play call or being able to lean into the passing game and knowing he's going to get the ball out and go to the right guy and time. Take care of the football, good decisions, almost 250, two touchdowns just played really efficient football and couldn't be more proud of him for that. I'm looking at the Super Bowl odds. The bills are now the new favorites. The Packers went from 33 to 1 to 66 to 1. The Raiders 125 to 1 to 80 to 1. Chargers go from 45 to 1 to 80 to 1. The Steelers, they went from 80 to 1 to 100 to 1 and they just beat the Bengals. The Giants from 100 to 1 to 175 to 1. Yeah, so kind of interesting there that Buffalo Bills are the new favorites there. I'm sure that the Rams would be happy to give that up.

You guys can have that distinction, distraction. We need to figure out who we are right now. Tanner in Iowa. Hi Tanner, what do you have for me today? Hey, can you guys hear me? Yeah. How are you guys doing? First time, 195 pounds, 6 foot. I was just following to see if any of you guys would want to do a pie in a faith bet. Okay, what's the bet? I'm betting that Kurt Sarenz will out coach Rinde and Edo Iowa State. All right. Ray had it hands up first, so Ray, you'll take a piece of Tanner in Iowa. Yeah, I'll take that Ohio State by 40. By 40. Not specifically Ohio State will win. Okay. Anybody else want a piece? I guess it only matters if one of you takes a deal and you'll take it. Well then Tanner's got to do two pies. That's fine. I have as long as this score less than 45 points, then I don't really care what happens.

But, yeah, you're back on the Iowa under. I am. I got a job last week by half a point. But just made me want it even more than. Will in Texas. Hi Will, what do you have for me today? Hey, good morning Dan. A first time long time, 58220 or. Hey listen, I'll just have to quick question. You know, this next Sunday afternoon, you got San Fran and Denver. Who do you like better? Bow or Brock? I would take party. I think party is rightfully so an MVP candidate. Yeah, I'm still waiting for Bow next, you know, but you know, with that injury last year in the playoffs and he's looked okay. But Brock Pertie has had some moments this year, so I would say Brock Pertie right now. Jeremy and Ohio. Hi Jeremy. Hey Dan, thanks for taking the call. Two quick things for you. First of all, and I think James and Virginia would agree. Philadelphia got left off the list earlier of the hateful fans out of the top five because they don't know how to use the internet.

They still write all the complaints about Brock and Bricks and his Rome at the Philadelphia Inquirer building. So it's not really a fair comparison. Okay. Second, I didn't know if you could use your connections with Sandler to get Jennifer Aniston to be on your piano when you're doing your song. More have taught on there. You're called. You decide. Yeah, that's a tough call. I might lean towards Jennifer Aniston. When I did the movie, just go with it. You had Kidman, Aniston, and yet Brooklyn Decker. Sandler never gets cheated when it comes to having beautiful women in his movies. I'm like, I said, Sam, and you always get the girl and it's always a beautiful girl who goes, yeah, Danny. That's what happens when you write the movie. I said, yeah, Aniston looked magnificent. She did. And great personality, like funny, self-deprecating. And I still go back to that moment. So I'm on stage, and I'm a nightclub owner. And I'm going to have the, let's get coconutty, the dancing contest between Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman.

And Nicole Kidman takes off her shirt. She's got a washboard stomach, like truly ripped. And I think she had had a baby six months prior. Aniston looks over and says, oh, bleep. Call Sandler up on stage. Now I'm up there and I know what's going on. She's like, I didn't expect that. And Sandman goes, just played for laughs. You know, played up big, played for now. And once again, Aniston looked spectacular. But Kidman looked like she was out of health and fitness. She was, I had a six pack. And, you know, this was going to be a competition between those two. And I remember saying to Aniston, not that she gave it down. But I said, you know what? You played it like Carol Burnett. And if you're familiar with Carol Burnett, who played up the big laughs and had fun with it.

And in that scene, she's really good. And then Dave Matthews, you had him in there as well. And that was awesome. Because he was always going to add levity. Yes, Marvin. So you were also an acting coach? I don't think I was an acting coach. I was just there sort of as a advisor. Yeah. As somebody who has been a regular in Sandler movies, I was trying to help her just a little bit. Yes, Ray. I think that's your best cameo. The here comes big country line is a killer. They let me keep that in there because I thought she looked like Bryant, big country Reeves, a former van, he was van Coover, wasn't he? Van Coover, Grizzly. Grizzly, Grizzly, Van Coover. And I thought that she was really large. And I called her big country. And Sandler loved it because he's a basketball guy. He goes, Danny, love it. Danny, love it. And I go, okay.

Keep that in. Yes, Marvin. You're cameo and that's my boy. It was more than a cameo. Yeah. You had like a pretty good sized role in here too. He wanted me to play Jerry Springer. He wanted me to be a Jerry Springer kind of guy. Randall Morgan? TV's Randall Morgan. Yeah. That's when Todd got yelled at. You got yelled at by the executive producer. All I had to do was point the camera in a certain direction and for some reason I moved it towards the wall or something. I don't know what was going on there. All you have to do is act like you're filming us in this prison. That's all you have to do. It's a light makeshift camera. Not heavy. All you got to do is follow us. And Todd has it facing the wall and not where Susan Sarandon is. Where the scene is. Andy Sandberg. And then boy, the executive producer, Jack Garaputo, he jumped out and he, he scolded Todd. I didn't even realize it was me when he came out. I'm like, oh, somebody's in trouble. And then he got in my face.

I'm like, I guess it was me. I said, Todd, you were told just, Todd's looking at the scene. He's watching the scene not being part of the scene. And then you got yelled at. And then now Susan Sarandon has no idea who we are. Zero. But we look like a bunch of, you know, slappies. You know, we have no idea what we're doing. And that was a bad time for me to ask for a speaking role. I said, maybe for the next one I can say something better at that. Yeah. Todd's like, can I get a line and I go, no, a lifeline to help you out. A line to the parking lot. See you. Yeah. All right. Let me take a break. Got more phone calls coming up. And 8773DP show. Dylan's job is to come up with another poll question. And I think you can do it. We'll find out right after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show.

The average length of a baseball game this season with the new automated balls and strikes challenge system. Toddle start with you. I'm going to say 246. All right. Marvin. Two hours 38 minutes. All right. Dylan 233. Big day Ray. 228. 242. 242. They estimated that the automated balls and strikes added just one extra minute to the time of a major league baseball game. Oh, I'll start on the day. Start on the day. This is the start on the day.

Brought to you by Phenany America, you know, they made the mistake of calling them robot umpires. And it people thought they were going to be umpires that were going to be robots. Look, I know AI is coming, but we're not we're not going to have robots behind home plate. But the automated balls and strikes, then you know, people can now go, oh, okay. All it's going to be is it's just going to show on the scoreboard ball or strike. That's it. It's going to be automated. And we're going to get to it. Uh, I like how some of these umpires are like, oh, you know, they're they're taking the, you know, our ability to form a you know, a game or call a game or be a part of the game. I got to I don't care. It shouldn't be an open to interpretation of a ball or a strike. But for decades, centuries, we allowed that to happen. Like, you know, he gives you the high strike. Why? I know that there's other officials that they'll let you get away with holding, you know, defensive back more

contact. I understand that. But this is something that should be regimented because you can regiment it. It can be a ball or a strike. But hey, they're taking taking our way our ability to manage a game. Just call the game. All right. Nobody came to see you. Call the game. And I'm sorry. Big brother is going to embarrass you because you don't know how to call balls and strikes. Some of you don't. And you have your own strike zone. I understand that. But not anymore because we have the ability to get those calls right. Why wouldn't we do that? Yes, Todd. Imagine if you had a ref in college or a pro football that decided, well, they have a tight first down marker. Like this ref, you know, he'll give you the benefit of the doubt. This one will say, nah, you know, that's not quite a first down in my book. Well, you could have that by spotting a football. I think that's an inexact science. I'll be like, wait a minute. How are you spotting it there? But we allow it.

And I'm sure there are certain officials who are pro defense or pro offense by how they spot the football. Yes, Todd. And on the rare, rare occasion that they would bring out the chains, that still doesn't speak to the problem. If you put the ball in the wrong spot, it doesn't matter that the chain shows that you would just show it or you got the first down. You put it in the wrong spot to begin with. Yes, Ray. I was looking at the average time for a game before the pitch clock. Okay. Three hours and 10 minutes. So they shaved off around 35 minutes per game. But we grew up in baseball didn't have a clock. You know, it was, that's the beauty of baseball. But you're taught that at a young age that I never complained how long a game went. Never. But then all of a sudden we got to that point where we're like, come on. Get in the batter's box. Come on. Get on the mount. Things were taking longer. And this could have been, I am on TV. Product placement. I'm in the batter's box. Whatever it is, the camera's on me.

We're going to milk it for all its worth. And then all of a sudden we go, oh, we've had a pitch clock for a long time. How about we implement the pitch clock? Yes, Todd. Is it, is speeding up the game or when they first started doing that? Is that because, you know, fans were complaining or when did that actually happen? Is it the kind of thing where, is this sport not exciting enough in this era where you need everything right away with our cell phones? Where what used to be like you said, who cares how long it goes? I'm having a good time at the ballpark. I'm watching on TV now. We're just impatient. This game's got to end already. I got to get out of here. So did you ask and then answer your question? I may, I might question to you. What do you think is the main reason why all of a sudden we're too impatient. We can't have these games last a certain amount of time anymore. Why, why didn't you just start that? I should have said that. You're always correct me and I told you many times not to do that. I got caught in my own rambling. But I wanted to know why, when that decision was made and why do you think there was more? I think it's because of attention spans. I think you're trying, you have an older generation that came up with this and didn't question it.

Now you have a younger audience. And are they going to stay with this? Are they going to watch a game and keep score? Now, I don't know if, you know, dads bringing their kids and they keep score anymore. I know it was important. First game I went to was a spring training game in Scottsdale with the Giants. And my dad taught me how to keep score. I think I was eight years old. And I also wondered why they had a player named Jesus. And his name was Jesus Alou. I said, Dad, are you allowed to be called Jesus? And he goes, it's Jesus. And I said, okay. He's Zeus, but it's spelled Jesus. Go ask your mom. Yes, Martin. When do you think the switch was made from football, from baseball to football as far as the top sport in American society? I think the magnitude of the Super Bowl. I think that you had, it became much more than just a game.

That everybody was watching it. Then you remember, they had musical groups that weren't known up with people. That was a half time show. Up with people. Totally. Not up to people, up with people. And you remember that Todd, up with people? I do, vaguely. I do remember that. Yeah. But I think once you got, like you made an event, the NFL did a great job in making an event. I also think fantasy football. I think that was really, really big. Now, I played fantasy when I was at the mothership. I was in NASCAR. I was in NASCAR. Golf. Football, baseball, basketball. But I was doing these highlights every single night. And I was up on every team and every game. And so I'd go into these drafts. And I knew, I knew what I needed to know. I would, I walked by one time.

I got done with sports center. It's midnight. It's 12.05. I walked by a meeting room. There's probably 12 people in there. And they're doing a fantasy draft, baseball. And I stopped in and I did a draft. I didn't have any notes with me. I just did the draft because I loved doing the draft. And then I love the one where you have money. And you have to fit your player in a budget there. But you have that. And then you have the gambling. And I, you know, it just all kind of crystallized and boom. Yes, Marvin. Yeah. So your earlier point also, baseball to me is generational. I feel like that's passed down from dads to sons and daughters. Where it's football and basketball, you just go out there and you play with your friends. But I think with baseball, you're rooting for a team where football is a good thing. And then you're a team where football you're rooting for your fantasy team. Now you might root for your team, but you're also, it's weird to be around somebody where you go.

I got the bear's winning, but I want the Packer's defense to do well. You would never do that growing up where you go. Man, I'd like for Kenny Anderson to do well and Isaac Curtis. But man, I'm rooting for the Steelers defense here. Yes, Dylan. You did fantasy NASCAR? Yeah, that's a thing. I've never heard of that. Yeah. You're deep. Oh, I was, no, I truly got into a 12-step recovery program. I truly needed to because I remember I was rooting for everybody and against everybody in the NBA. Because I think I was in four leagues and you're like, I got Mookie Blay a lot. Oh, but I got Glenn Rice. But then I got Zo and I got Stacey Og and then it's like, what am I doing? Yeah, doing. Yeah, I've kind of, I've slowly waned from the being in like six fantasy leagues. One is the perfect number to be in. You always end up being in three and you're like, these are all, my wires are all crossed.

I don't care about this one. This team sucks. And then you just end up starting betting on the games and then fantasy goes out the window altogether. Well, it's like more smadness when somebody goes, you know, I've got them in my bracket. I go, how many brackets did you fill out? Five. Oh, my God. You get one. That's it. Yes, Dylan. We talk about it with like, like showing people pictures like unless I'm in the picture, I don't care. Unless they're on my fantasy team too, I also don't care. Thank you, Dylan. Welcome. Nate Nellay. Hi, Nate. What do you have for me today? Hey, Dan. First and foremost, I love my wife. Also, she thinks that Dylan is Todd Sun. But my question to you as an avid golfer, what is your pre-shot routine and your swing thoughts? I just got a lesson yesterday. And I don't know if I have a pre, I should have a pre-shot routine, but I don't.

I always forget. I go get over the ball and I go, wait, let me see. The grip, turn with my right shoulder and on my left shoulder. I'm totally lost. Adam Pazrak, a great teacher. He came by the man cave. He's got a lot of videos online. But he keeps it simple and, you know, he'll send a note occasionally and just say, hey, by the way, make sure you continue to do this. I'll go, ah, okay. Yes, Ray. I think the problem with my pre-shot routine is it's me imagining all the things I can do wrong on this one's specific hole. It just sends a patty. Well, you don't tuck your shirt in either. That is true. Yeah. That'd be the first swing though. Your swing thought is tucking your shirt. So you're saying I would shoot in the 70s and tuck it in? Yes, you would. Yes, Dylan. Yeah, we were talking before about like, you were talking about athletes, how they do the best when they're not thinking. Yeah. The problem with golf and why it's so hard is all you do is have time to think.

Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't, the ball doesn't move. And you just stare at it. It's staring right back at you like a big eyeball. Dave and Colorado. Hi, Dave. What do you have for me today? Hey, you were talking about how you don't want to walk into the Jets stadium with foreign, um, Jersey's on. Yeah. Back in the 1981 split season. A bunch of Wisconsin farmboys, myself included. After the Brewers lost the first two games at home, we decided to drive out to Yankee Stadium and watch the games out there. We were not taking very well with our Brewers outfits on. But luckily we had stashed about four cases of beers in our pockets and our coats and we got a warm welcome after that. How do you have four cases that you somehow put in your coats?

Oh, you just wear big pants, two pairs of pants belt. And remember, this is 1980s or 1981 when they didn't search you. My wife has two aunts that came back from Italy and they strapped cheese and salami on their body. They taped it and you know, look like they were carrying pack and a bomb. But they got off the plane. So they had made and cheese taped to their body. Yes, Ray. So it's the Wolfel Wall Street scene, but instead of cash, it's salami and cheese. Yes. Okay. Which is more important to, you know, Italian women coming back from Italy. Yes, Ray. Or yes, Dylan. What condition was that cheese in? Because I would imagine it may have melted a little. I didn't have it. You didn't have the body cheese? No, I did not.

They also at one point had 22 cats. Wait, what? Yeah. They had 22 cats. And they're all over the house. So in one house, they had 22 cats. That I can't abide. Yeah. And a pet ratcoon. No. Why not? Why not at that point? And a turtle. All right. Yes, yes, Tim Martin. And it's terrible because they're older Italian ladies and being around the Italians. Do you want something to eat? They'll get offended if you say no. With 22 cats or ratcoon and a turtle. Oh, no, you know what? I ate it. Another old Italian lady's house before this. No, thank you. They had a cat that was so large. He would throw himself against the door. I give you shut the door. Just because, I mean, if he sat on you, he could probably crush you. He had to be close to 30 pounds. But he would throw himself against the door all night long.

You truly thought he might knock this damn door down. But he won't, you were not going to lock him out of a room where you were sleeping. Yes, Dylan. 30 pound cat. I'm trying to compare it to like a dog. Well, I got a decent size. Yes, yeah. But it was, you know, pretty compact and it's throwing himself against the door. I'm assuming it didn't work. It didn't, but he did it all night long. I think his name was Henry. Yeah. But I remember all these cats, and I'm like, yes, right? I'm seeing obesity for a cat is considered anywhere between 18 to 25 pounds. Well, no, this was definitely obese. So he's going way past that. Yeah, his belly would drag. And he was, but he would just throw himself against the door. It's right out of a Stephen King movie. It doesn't know how locks work.

Ryan and Utah. Hi, Ryan. What do you have for me today? Hey, D.P. Hey, Ryan. Dicks the stock 260. Hey, you have me thinking now about robot umpires. I think we should go old school sci-fi and get like a trash can spray paint a gray. Maybe even put an ump in the trash can peeking out through the little flap. No, that would be the Astros. They might be able to do that. Wow. Yeah. We're going to have a good one. Yeah. Good with trash cans. What else do you have, Ryan? I wanted to respond to a guest you had yesterday. I won't name names because my mom had it raised a snitch. But he made a comment super SEC Homer, but he made a comment about moving toward two divisions in college football. And I'm curious your thoughts. I think college football would be better served to have more of a soccer relegation type because these SEC guys don't seem to watch Texas A&M, Kentucky, Oklahoma.

Like these teams are terrible compared to your Utah youths. David Pollock, it's suggested that we're going to eventually get to like an AFC on FC. But we've talked about that. And I would love relegation, but I think these schedules and like planning the schedule, I don't know how difficult that is down the road. But if everybody knows, okay, this year we're playing that division and that division, okay, then you could have relegation. But what is going to bring about relegation? How does somebody qualify to come up? How do teams schools fall out of that? But you see that in soccer. I've suggested that for years if you could do that. But I don't see it happening, but it would be fun. And I've talked to Greg Sanky, the commissioner of the SEC about that. I think they would entertain that. But this is going to come down to the big 10 will add a couple more schools. In my opinion, the SEC will add a couple more schools.

They're going to have at least 20 teams, 20 schools. So now you got 40. Now you don't have 40 of the best, but you probably have 15 of the best, 20 of the best. And you know, TV ratings. I think you're going to have the haves and have nots. And I think that's what college football is going to be about. Yes, Mark. Can you imagine the game between Kentucky and Vanderbilt and the loser gets relegated? It's going to be the hardest fault game in the history of college football. Yeah, because then all these games are meaningful. How about we take a break? Last call for phone calls, what we learned once and store tomorrow right after this.

Nobody requests the Beatles music when you I had a party or something. I guess I mean, I don't know if somebody's requesting the stones or zeppelin when you go to a,

I don't know, wedding reception. Yes, Dylan. Do I twist and shout as a party slash wedding song? I don't think that's their song. But they, I mean, their version is the most famous. Yeah. Yes, time. And now to me, it's just a fairest duet song when he went on that parade. Sometimes a song, not that it gets ruined, but sometimes you not think about a song, not because of how good the song is, but because of a scene from our TV show or a movie. Okay. What is the worst crime committed by somebody taking a song away from you? What's the worst crime committed? Yeah, that they take away the song. And now when you think of the song, you think it's a, you know, ram truck. Yeah, that's what I was going to say when they do it for a commercial or something like that. Yeah, I used to love that song. And now it's a product. That's what I'm saying. It's a crime. It is a crime. Yeah. Like Bob Seeger, like a rock. Like that's gone. That's a truck commercial. Is there another one that comes to mind where you go, that used to be something that you wanted to hear?

And then Carly Simon anticipation. And it was a catch up. Carly Simon 57. Good call. Thank you, Todd. Yes, Dylan. Wasn't I ever lasting love the Seattleist song like this will be when they're in the bathtub? Yes. Oh, I didn't know that song. Yeah. Yes, I did. But all I think about is the Alice. I'm just focused on the couple in the bathtubs. The outdoor bathtubs not connected to any water source by the way. I know. I can't imagine when you have these pitch meetings when you go, okay, all right, what do you got for me? Okay, a couple. And they're in clawfoot bathtubs. And they're just sitting in there in the yard. Yeah. And we're selling Seattleist. Yes. Okay. Yeah, let's go. Green lighted. What do you have, Ray? What about the scoop there it is that kind of region ruined the original song for me there? The scoop there it is.

I didn't like the original to begin with, so it didn't bother me. I'm sure there's a few of them. I mean, it's late in the show, but this audience, you see, helps us along. Yes, Marvin. I was in a position by the Beatles was using a Nike commercial. And so every time I heard that song, using a Nike commercial, the song I thought about was the Nike's. Okay. I don't remember hearing that song. Reggie and Mississippi, hi, Reg, what do you have for me today? I'm a nut. That's the Alice commercial. I don't remember the people being in the bathtub. That's hilarious. And another thing. I don't believe that guy in 1981, he and his friends got four cases of beer into Yankee Stadium. I'm not buying that one, though. But that was an incredible interview with Mad Dog. It's hard to believe that there's hardly any NL teams that's repeated for World Series. I mean, that's just hard to believe. It hasn't happened, I think, Mad Dog said.

A nationally team has not done a three-peat with the World Series. Kevin and Knoxville, hi, Kevin. Dan and the Dan S. Good morning. How are you today? Great, Kevin. You know, Dan first. Thank you for taking my phone call. I would like to comment and commend Fritz for his Astros uniform. I was fortunate enough as a teenager to see Nolan Ryan pitch live twice. And Dan, the sound of that ball hitting that catcher's mitt, was unlike any other day. And I'd been to a lot of games. It was unlike any other sound I had heard. But good old to Fritz, I would like to chat with you quickly about the Tennessee Texas game we talked last week. You were absolutely right. If we beat Texas, do we get the recognition we deserve? So I would like to just say, in analyzing the game in all three phases, like defensively special teams, we played outstanding, I think offensively,

phase on, Braden had a learning experience. And I'm a ball fan, but I'm very realistic. Well, but he was under pressure all game long. I mean, he had knocked out of the game, but thank you for the phone call, Kevin. But that's why I said, don't be begging for any kind of recognition. Earn it. Go win the game. This day in sports history, got anything for me, Marvin? Yes, this day in 1957, the New York Giants played their last game at the polo grounds. Okay. Let me see anything else. Earl Weaver, 1985, got ejected from both games of a double header at Hanks Stadium. That used to be embarrassing when you'd see grown men out there in their baseball uniform, kick and dirt on the umpire. This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
