This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Is there an epidemic against literature? More specifically, Black Literature. I'm Jack Wiespiece Thomas, and on this season of the Black Lits podcast, we're outside asking why. They don't want to hold a bunch of little elevators, Malcolm X's and Martin with the King's on the round. And when you look at a lot of different cultures, feel like we need to know where you came from. And considering this is Black Reading Month, the only real question is, what are you reading next? Listen to Black Lit from the Black Effect podcast network on our I Heart radio at Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Why are you dealing with listening to Armstrong and Getty on demand? We're not boring. Lot of news is boring. And tedious and depressing. And makes you angry. You don't want to live your life like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We try to bring you the truth and help you figure out this crazy modern world. About something about a comedic tone. What? We have a winner? Yes.

It is in the name NFL Daily. You'll have fresh content in your feet every day, all season long, that game winning drive, maybe it's herb, or maybe it's Gino, maybe it's my homes. We'll have the highlights. If Fernando Mendoza or any of those rookies are ballin' out, we'll break down the tape, join me, Greg Rosenthal, and an all-star cast of co-hosts as we preview and recap every game, listen to NFL Daily on the I Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick's Show on Fox Sports Radio. And it's the final hour on this Thursday, football coming up tonight on Netflix. It'll be the Niners getting three and a half against the Rams. Statt of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading card to the Dan Patrick's Show.
September 12th, the Premier League heads to North London. The Spurs look to jumpstart their season at home against Everton. That'll be September 12th on NBC and Peacock, which is where you can also find this show. Peacock and BC Sports Now, download the app if you haven't done so. The starting lineup for the final hour, Fritzies in the back row, by the way, Fritzies thinks there's a double standard for his humor and everybody else's humor. So do you want to let the audience know that you feel picked on here and that I think other people are funny and I go out of my way to tell you you're not? I hinted at it, well, I didn't hint at it. I just went after it in the confessional, the confessional was a stay between Justin Me and the audience, but since you brought it up, yeah, I'll say something. I think if anyone else says something that's similar to that, they kind of get a pass or you guys will give a little chuckle to it or it wouldn't be such a big deal. But if I said something, especially something questionable or not appropriate, I would probably get a little scolding
or something along those lines. I think there's more leeway among the rest of the group. That's okay. I get to beat up on and that's all. Jonathan in Texas joins us on the show. I join. Good morning, Dan and Danette. It's sticking with the theme here of the day and as a yearbook advisor, I'm all about themes. Drake has a plane. You know who else could get the teams across the water there is a Sir Francis Drake. Don't get their sea legs underneath them. So that's another option for the guys to get over there. And while we're still on the theme of Drake, me and my good friends at Panini America would like all of you, including all of the media, to please stop harving on my good friend Drake May as my Drake May rookie cards are currently in the tank. Thank you, Jonathan. Yeah, I didn't think of that. I should hold off my opinions here about Drake May. Look, I got it. The people who are being critical of me are saying,
well, it's one game. What did you say last year? I said that he didn't play well in the playoffs. He didn't play well in the Super Bowl. Maybe he was injured. His offensive line didn't help him. He hasn't done well against really good defenses. That's the thing that I pointed out. That's all Seattle twice, not good Denver, not good. Houston, not good. Is it a coincidence? Is this maybe habit forming here? Did he put up glossy numbers? He was second in the MVP. I got all of that. And I'm not going off just last night. I'm going off of the last five games he's played. He hasn't been great. That's all. Look, I roughed up CJ Stroud. I don't play any favorites here. All I know is what I saw. That was really, really surprising. That's it. Okay.
I've been critical, Jalen Hertz during the regular season. Or Jack Prescott. It happens. It's part of the sport. You're part of that position. You got the highest of highs, lowest of lows. And you had that last night for Drake Meg. They should have won that game. I ain't in simple. I roughed up Lamar in the playoffs. Josh Allen in the playoffs. I just call it as I see it. Not here to play favorites. Joe Burrow. You know, been critical of him. You got everything you wanted. Okay. Now let me see what you can do. Stay healthy. Get him to the playoffs. It goes along with the territory. Okay. That's all. But I'm looking at these numbers. And would they be alarming? No. But they would be concerning. Because he made bad decisions. You can throw interceptions. And we've even talked about, you know,
a receiver caused interception. Where he makes the mistake. Drake made mistakes. That were his mistakes, his decisions. That's the problem that I have with this. And yes, I don't have the Patriots making the playoffs. Doesn't mean I'm hating on the Patriots. I got to pick who's in and who's not in. And I said that I didn't think that they were going to be in the playoffs. I don't think the Packers are going to be in the playoffs. Does it mean I hate Green Bay or Jordan Love? It just how many teams are going in and how many teams are falling out? That's all. Stad of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading card, so the Dan Patrick show, more of your phone calls. Pull question for the final hour of the program. Dylan. You want a quick recap? Yeah, sure. Well, we started off with more concern about Darnel's health or May's decision making. And to your point, you just made Dan 55%
or more concerned about May's decision making. Yeah, that's all. And then did you know tonight's 49ers Rams game is on Netflix? Yes, of course. No, thanks for the heads up or I probably would have figured it out. 39% said yes, of course, just barely edging out. No, thanks for the heads up. I did not know the game was on Netflix until yesterday. I did not. I haven't seen much fanfare with it or any of their analyst being available, you know, like the MLB All-Star game, Home Run Derby. Well, make your analyst available so people can promote that it's going to be on, you know, your streaming service. Yes, Dylan. I actually think it's kind of nice when it's on Netflix because of all of the various streaming services and stuff these games are on. That is the most like universally had service by everyone. So that's your guaranteed to have it. You may have to figure out that it's there, but you'll probably have access to it. Drew Lockthrough for 187 in a touchdown in Relief
of Sam Darnold. More importantly, he didn't throw any interceptions. He's the 14th active quarterback to have at least one game with 20 pass attempts and a passer rating of 113 or better with three different teams, Seahawks, Giants and the Broncos. Staddle the day. By the way, it was on this day, Deon Sanders in 1989 made his NFL debut. He returned to punch 68 yards. The Falcons lost to the Rams, 31-21. Five days earlier, Deon had a home run for the Yankees in a win against the Mariners. That's quite a week for Deon. I wonder how good he would have been. Now, he didn't have a lot of power, but he certainly had speed. Anything, you know, to the left side of the infield, he was going to beat that out. But to be able to do that,
and, you know, you're playing for the Braves and the Falcons and you're going to take a helicopter. I mean, it was a big deal. And Deon could have been a lot more. And I don't know if we look at his career. We do this with Bob, but Bob Jackson got hurt. If he had only done one sport, would he have been a Hall of Famer? Now, if he did football and only football and stayed healthy, yes, he would have been a Hall of Famer. I think if he did baseball, he would probably be in a conversation of being a Hall of Famer. I think he did a lot of wonderful things. His arm was incredible, his speed, his power. Didn't hit for a great average, so 263. But he did have those moments that, oh my God, Bob Jackson did that. And that would have been interesting to see how that would have played out for an entire career. Yes, Martin. Yeah, the mythological figure that was Bob Jackson, that is Bob Jackson when he came to the Super Bowl,
and then he had that human moment of this, you know, his bout with cancer. It's like this guy's a mythological figure standing in front of me. It's the guy, the bow nose campaign. I didn't know DP. I didn't know what baseball team he played for. When I was a kid, I did not know. I knew he played for the Raiders, but I just knew bow nose because the poster, my cousin Rashad had a big, huge poster on the wall of bow nose with the tank top. He shorts, football helmet, baseball back. That's how popular he was. I still have my bow nose. It's a large baseball. And I have it on the wall over here. That's got to be 30 years of, maybe? Now, once again, I save everything. But I remember what that campaign came out. And Nike sent me the bow nose. And I just thought, what a great campaign. A kangaroo feet junior for president.
Remember that campaign. But bow, bow was like, because I always thought Dion wanted to be bow. And I thought that there might have been friction between those two. I don't know if there ever was. It felt like maybe it would have been from bow side to Dion wanting to be bow Jackson. But when bow came on the set at the Super Bowl in San Francisco. And I always try to read the room. I've been around bow. I played golf with bow. I always look at the younger guys on the staff. And I looked at Marvin. And I could tell that Marvin was in all, he didn't know if he even could have said something to bow. And how it would have come out. And the impact that bow had on people. And I think that that's what's truly amazing is, even now, he still resonates. Yes, Ray. I'm 28 years old and in third grade for Christmas, I asked for a bow Jackson jersey. That's the impact that he had. Yeah, that's pretty amazing.
And he's one of the great what ifs. When we talk about athletes that got hurt, like for me Bill Walton was a what if. Because I didn't think Bill was one of the top 75 players of all time in the NBA. But I think he could have been one of the top two or three centers in the history of the sport. I don't think anybody truly understood both ends of the floor the way he did. But he couldn't stay healthy. And he played basically three or four healthy seasons and ended up winning two titles. Yes, Mark. You just brought up a really, you know, a couple of really good baseball campaigns. What happened to the great chicks dig the lawn ball? I can't agree for president. Bow knows what happens to those great baseball campaigns that Nike used to do back in the 90s. And it felt like baseball was much cooler. Yeah, just cooler baseball players in the 90s. But I don't know why you would have GLAB in and Maddox in the chicks dig the lawn ball. Your pitchers, you don't want to give up lawn balls.
Like, wouldn't you think you would have sluggers who were saying chicks dig the lawn ball? By the way, I've gone through Facebook yesterday and I focused in on Greg Maddox versus Wade Boggs in a match up in a game. I watched the entire at bat. That's it. Yes, Mark. I'm not going to lie. I did that with Greg Maddox versus Barry Bonds. And it's bolted in talking about the strategy between those two and it's like a chess game. I think it's, you know, when you start to look at that mental game and being around Maddox, Maddox was a prankster in a goofball and did not look like he was, you know, an athlete. But he got on the mound and he understood what he could do and what you couldn't do. And he could put the ball in places. Now you just throw the ball. I think, then they have a stat, Jacob Mizorowski threw a thousand pitches over a hundred miles an hour.
Does that sound right? I thought I had it yesterday. Ray, do you have that stat with, for some reason, I thought he, this is the Brewer's picture, a thousand and one. He's the first pitcher ever to throw a hundred miles an hour over a thousand times in MLB industry. Woo! Stab in the day. Stab in the day. This is the stat in the day. Stab in the day. Brontu by Benini America. Yes, Ray. You know what I also saw yesterday is if we're talking in greatest what ifs in sports history, someone just threw their hat in the ring that you wouldn't expect. Denilo Gallonari, yesterday said that he was one of the greatest what ifs in sports history. I didn't see that. A little bit of a reach. Yeah. Yeah, he was talking about the chronicling all of his injuries there. Wait, was that again? Yes.
He's not even the greatest Italian what ifs. That's Vinny Del Negro. Obviously. Mind you. Midrange jumper. Vinny Del Negro. Yes, Dylan. I don't know if you're allowed to throw your own what if hat in the ring. I think other people have to do that for you. By the way, Dylan and I got into a spirited conversation about you two again. And he refuses to admit that they were once the biggest band in the world. Michelle Beedle, friend of the show, she a text poly to say that Dylan is an idiot. And I think that we would all agree with that. Yes, Dylan. That's not the first time that sex has been sent in. Okay. I will concede. I'm not I've no doubts about the fame and magnitude of you two as a touring band and record sales and stuff. I just said they're not very good. And they downloaded that crappy album on everyone's phone and how the dismantle of the
atomic bomb stinks too. Bloody Sundays like the one good song. They have one good song. One and a half good song. Oh my God. What, you're a big vertigo guy. I think they know how to make hits, dude. That's all. Fine. There's nothing wrong with making a hit. Like you think, oh, you know, like fish, they don't have his. It doesn't matter. Always go back to that, huh? Well, you go back to edge terrible guitar player. Not terrible. He's overrated. Who rated him? He also wears a beanie all the time. And it's probably hot up there. He's bald. So am I. I don't wear a beanie. You should think about it. Oh, let me hear about Jerry Garcia. Well, you're, I mean, you're slandering my guy Jimmy Buffett, which I didn't appreciate. No, I didn't slander him. Maligned. I said, okay, he's got a sound. Are you talking about him being a great musician?
He was a great businessman and an awesome musician. No, no, not an awesome musician. Jimmy Buffett rules. I love Jimmy Buffett. Okay, then we're, I went to the opening of Margaritaville in New Orleans, invited by Jimmy Buffett, and Joni Mitchell was there that night. So why don't you shut your pie hole? I would have obviously gone to that. I had the opportunity. You don't have any friends, but not like friends like that apparently. I've got Todd. Are we friends? I guess. Yes, yes, Marvin. Which backroom guy annoys you more? Well, Dylan's on a backroom guy. Excuse me, back row guy. Oh, back row guy. Well, Dylan tries to annoy me. No. Todd can't help but annoy me. This is my personality. I'm not trying to get under your skin. How about we take a break here? We solved absolutely nothing there.
Well, back after this in the Dan Patrick show. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show.

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for 9 months. I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. My mom is a bit smart and these are the survivor files.
You 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. But 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 4 hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Bignero 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 meaning 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. If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Pro's Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet and the conversations everyone can't stop having.
I'm gonna have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. So like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters and that is the Trojan horse, whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to Pro's Society on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. Our town is small taters by most standards right, but to the people who grew up here it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etchum, but they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life.
Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need that to rule. Great. And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bull. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test to. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now did you? Listen to our town on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the feeling. You make a pick in your fantasy draft in the entire room groans because they wanted that player. Or you grab a small school rookie off waivers and you start him right before he goes off in prime time. There's no better feeling than crushing your fantasy football league. I'm JJ Zacharyson, host of the late round fantasy football podcast. Before your draft, our players to target and players to avoid episodes tell you exactly who to circle and who to cross off.
We've got data driven analysis, historical trends and the strategies that separate winners from the rest. And your dominance doesn't stop with the draft. All season long, we have our 15 transactions, 10 trends, sleepers and the mail back. Data driven, quick hitting episodes to help bring home that league trophy. Listen to the late round fantasy football podcast on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Wow, edge is shredding. Edge created a sound, Dylan. I'm not saying he's Hendrix or Prince with the guitar or Stevie Ray Vaughn. Edge created a distinctive unique sound. Okay, given credit for that. He's not Jack White. He created a distinct sound for that band. Okay. Well, doesn't every guitar player created a distinct sound for that band? To become the biggest band in the world, he created a sound.
Yes, guitar players create a sound for their band. The biggest bit size doesn't matter, Dan. It's all about quality. What was your deadline? I think you've got an inferiority complex. Is it that obvious? Speaking of legs, Dylan has an eight leg division winner parlay that he brought up on the gambler. This is why Dylan's a terrible gambler, but he'll explain his eight leg division on winner parlay. Every division, these always hit. Bill's Ravens, Jaguars, Chiefs, Eagles, Lions, Bucks, 49ers to win their respective divisions. That's plus 213,000. Damn. Why not? $1 million better. It's just a lottery ticket. If you're about a million bucks on that, you should be assassinated. That's the waste of a million dollars. Yes, it is. But, where is it?
Well, you don't have a million. Now, and if I did, I probably wouldn't put it on that. Imagine if you had only $1 million, you're like eight leg division winner parlay. Damn. Okay, that's Dylan, Big Day Ray, also Shay and Irving. That's the gambling podcast available at DanPatreon.com. Okay, moving forward, let's try to cut down on the curse words. Because it's a 45 minute podcast. And myself, along with the big German, went through with the help of chat GPT to count how many times you guys cursed yesterday. It was over 50. I didn't realize we're being censored now, Dan. There's a good run. Shay cursed 80 times yesterday. Okay. That was the bulk of it, I'm guessing. No, you had a handful Ray said two curse words as well. Yes, Todd. It's weak when someone has to resort to curse words.
It's a laugh. It really is. Todd somehow working his way into the conversation there. NFL teams took a sneaky shot at the Niners yesterday. At least, I thought it was, I hope it was. The Desjohn love situation, the guy who was wearing his Niners helmet around and he duped women in out of a million dollars. He wasn't on the team. But X now has a feature on NFL teams Twitter pages that show the players who were actually on the roster. And Big Day Ray gave this to me. I have the roster for the Cardinals and the Detroit Lions, where if you think a guy might be a football player, now you can at least check the roster so you don't get duped. Yes, Ray. This can't be a coincidence. It's too obvious. Very helpful though.
If you somehow think somebody looking like Gardner Minshue is a football player, well, he plays for the Cardinals, so you cannot, you know, he's the third string quarterback for the Cardinals. And if you were curious, if a guy named Jonathan Knight is the running back for the Arizona Cardinals, you'd be correct. So he is. So ladies, you can check the rosters here and find out if somebody is actually on a football team. Yes, Dylan. You know who's surprisingly a little late to the punch on this new system? Is the 49ers themselves? They should have been first ones through the gate with this. Yeah. These are the other teams that are coming out with this. Do you think it's a coincidence or do you think this is a shot at the 49ers? Elon Musk is known to take some shots. I think this might be a shot. Oh, wait, you think Elon Musk is interested in this story? He owns Twitter.
Well, I know that, but I don't know if he cares about a fake nine-year football player. Like the problem I had because my wife said, well, how would you know if he's not a football player? He said, first of all, he's running past patterns on the beach with his helmet on. He went to the barber shop with his helmet on. So those would be probably where I go, no, I don't think so. Yes, Dylan. One of the ladies too who had been talking to him and then I guess they cease talking. And then he hit her up randomly later and just said, I'm in the NFL now. And she was like, good enough for me. You believe what you want to believe. You do. You really do. And I love love. You also do love love. By the way, I just checked that Niners do have this available that you can find out who was on their rosters. Just in case somebody in Australia runs into somebody and they say that they're a 49er,
you'll be able to check the roster there. What's the poll question for the final hour of the program? Well, we have one from Big Day Ray, a late submission. What's worse, someone who tries to get under your skin on purpose or someone who does it unintentionally. The age of the lemon. I would say the person who's trying to do that. So me not Todd. No, because Todd means well, he just doesn't do well. There's a compliment in this somewhere. I'm really dig really deep. Yes, yes, Ray. Saying someone means well is never is never a good side. Yeah. But he does mean well, he's always thinking negative. It feels like every morning, there is one negative aspect to our morning meeting. I'm not sure why I do that because I'm kind of a go along, get a long guy. I like to have a good time, make people laugh. So I don't know why I skew negative like that. And we have seven new people here on staff. And there's seven new people that he can annoy back in the bullpen.
And what they've told me that they're doing is they wear headsets. So they may not be listening to anything on the headsets. But when you come around, if they hear you, they put on their headsets. I just talk louder. So whatever they listen to, my boys will go over that. Dan and Minnesota. Good morning, Dan. Help save this show today. Good morning, Dan. Good morning. Dan, it's the first time, long time. I've been listening to you guys since I think 2008. And I want to say, Dan, you just keep being you. You know, this is why we listen to the show. This is why we keep going back. You know, if you don't have hairs, you're not doing something good in this world. But just keep that up. One quick thing. I want to mention, and there's something that Florial said. He did a PFT, a P.M. like on Sunday or Monday night after the Michigan game. And actually that rules, if that play happening in NFL, it would have not have reached, whether it not have taken wet commission or one of one.
The NFL has what's called a two-second threshold rule. That if there's zero one or zero zero, about the game clock at the end of the play, the replay official cannot add time or grant an extra unlimited untimed down. Yeah, Mark, Mike Pereira came out with this too. The NFL wouldn't have allowed what happened at Michigan. Michigan shouldn't have allowed what happened at Michigan, but it happened. They went against protocol. And I'll go back to what I told you that I think Western Michigan and the Mac were trying to play nice. And they were trying, I'm trying to characterize how it was phrased to me. But let's just get through this. We want to continue to be able to play big 10 teams with the Mac. But we also, more importantly, we want to be recognized when it comes to strength, the schedule, and a bowl game, and maybe a ranking that we won that game. That was the big argument that they were hoping for.
And I don't know if how we'll be able to judge that, gauge that. But the rest of the year, Western Michigan, and will they be ranked? Could they be ranked bowl eligible, strength, the schedule? But, you know, they got a game coming up with Boise State that we're going to find out probably a little bit more about how good Western Michigan is. But they did win the game. It's just now that we hold it against Michigan was my question to my source on this. And he said that he thought that they would hold this. Michigan's 10 and 2, they're actually going to be viewed as a 9 and 3 team. Mike and Wisconsin, hi Mike, what do you have for me today? Hey, what up fellas? Dan, I just wanted to point out and actually last call, I kind of touched on it, but Trent Dilford was accurate about how it works in the NFL. When it comes to the NTA, you can, in fact, lose the game and still win. I don't care. Thank you, Mike. Patrick in Chicago, hi Patrick.
Hey, what up, D.B. Hey, so better national anthem on electric guitar. You got Mike McCready or Jimmy Hendrix, I would stock in 69. Well, it's Hendrix. He said his guitar on fire. Hey, love Mike McCready. Sounded great. Give me Chris Stapleton. Didn't he do God bless America or did he do the anthem at the Super Bowl? Was that last year that Chris did the, I don't know if it was anthem? A big day rail looked for me. Yes, Ray. Did he do the anthem? It was the national anthem. Yeah, Chris Stapleton. He can play some guitars as well. But McCready, hey, that was great. I enjoy it. Okay, I have a key and peel, skit that I thought of last night as I'm watching the anthem being performed. Or the song that it was it lift up, lift every voice.
Lift every voice. And they had the interpreter, the sign language person over here. And I'm thinking, you know, it'd be great if you had like peel up there as a political figure. And he's giving a speech. But he is going to do, you know, the sign language. But all the things he's saying are things he wants to say that are negative about peel when he's up there. Or he's cursing when he's up there with sign language. And, you know, and then eventually peel realizes that the sign language is not the message that he's trying to see. Yes, Marvin. He and peel, it always comes up during our meet and greets when we do the handshake with all of the fans that come out by nod, do the meet and greet. Because they'll give you the regular job interview handshake. And then somebody you see me and then they'll dat me up with the, oh, what up? No. And you guys are all like, oh, you couldn't that bus up? Yeah. Because they all give you the business like, I know, yeah, no, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, what a, oh, what a show. Give me some dad. Yeah. They can go changes. Oh, I know. They're like, oh, Mr. Patrick, good to see. Oh, Mark, bro, what up? Yeah, they wiped me up. They do. Mr. Patrick is wonderful to meet you. What up, Marvin, dude? Yeah, man, give me some dad. Let me see your hands, sign. Yes, they're like, Paul, pleasure. Mark, my boy. Greetings. What up, Holmes? Brian in Texas. I, Brian. ADP, I got a very important question for you. Okay. Who do you think the softer Danette is? Okay, one comes in with an astronaut boot on for a old ankle. And one misses work with a paper cut on his finger. Well, Todd did have surgery. They put him under. Marvin sprained his ankle playing basketball. And he's in a boot. Now, you can buy those boots. Like, I don't know. Is that doctor prescribed?
It is. Okay. All right. I'm taking your word for it. Although, Marvin said if he was still doing his job at ESPN, he would have called in sick with his, with his injury. For the week. Like, I wasn't missing much money. Uh, missing a week. Yeah, but there it is. The protective boot. Yeah. Man. Willis Reed. Yeah, incredible. Kurt Gibson. Yeah. Marvin Prince. Yeah. Kurt Schilling. I think we're going to be remembering this, this, this week, this show, because of this, what you've done. Marvin left which? Yeah. We were treating him like Byron left, which, remember when he was at Marshall and his teammates lifted him up to carry him down the field to get the next play in. Richard and Tucson. Hi, Richard. What do you have for me today? Hey, Dan. I got a question. Add a suggestion for Dylan. Okay. There's question, there's question is, had you heard the phrase when you're deep in a hole,
stop digging? Yes. And the suggestion is, if you really want to try to understand why Led Zeppelin is one of the all-time best band in rock and roll, look at Netflix, the making of Led Zeppelin. All right. Well, thank you, Richard. I don't think Dylan was critical of Led Zeppelin. If he was, he'd be fired. Yes, Dylan. I know I would be fired. And two, I absolutely, I love Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is arguably the greatest rock band of all time. I rock and roll. But, you know, what I can curve. Yeah. Look at us then. Well, that's not a big stretch here. Everyone should agree. No, because you had one of the great lead singers. You probably had the greatest rock and roll drummer of all time. Yeah. And you had one of the greatest rock and roll guitar players of all time. Throw in John Paul Jones and you had a pretty unique band there. Yeah, you did. Led Zeppelin was my first favorite band. Nick and Pennsylvania. I, Nick, what do you have for me?
Hey, Dan. How's it going, man? Oh, wonderful. I made 172 pounds, seven-year-old man on the lawn. Hey. And I wanted to challenge Dylan. I'm going to professional musician on a drummer. And I do cover band work for about three or four different bands. And this is the stretch and the edge. This blows me away. The sound is not good. You're like in a wind tunnel there, Nick. But, yeah, Dylan doesn't know music. I don't even lower your side of the volume. I disagree. You do not know music. And I played music my whole life. That doesn't mean you know it. Well, it means I have an idea. Did you see the stones in concert? No. I mean, I've seen Zeppelin in concert. No, I mean, what's all that? Did you see David Bowie in concert?
No. Did you see Prince in concert? Did you see you too in concert? Wouldn't do that. Okay. I saw all these bands. Okay. So this first hand. All right. It's not, you know, I played the flute in the band. It wasn't flute. It was clarinet. You played the clarinet. Now, I played bass and trombona. Oh, get out of here. That's what we learned. Yeah. I slap it a bass. I slap it in your bass. Yes, I'm sure you are. What's up, Todd? Yeah, you're cranking. All right. Let me take a break here. Okay. Take the rails a little bit. I know. Do you guys want to give your suit back? Do you guys want to give your Super Bowl picks when we come back? How about that? We can do that. Yeah. All right. You want to give your Super Bowl picks when we come back? Sure. Okay. All right. I mean, this is radio as well. They can't hear your head bobbing there. That's fair.
Well, they can hear the rocks. They can go and go. We'll take a break. Yeah, for this. Back up to this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

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. You 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. They're stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHARDS Radio App Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're a bookshelf and you're a for-you-page or equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Pro's Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo, and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, and that is a Trojan horse, whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations,
or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to Pro's Society on the IHARDS Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. 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 chose 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 IHARDS Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. The first thing that happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America. Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etchum, but they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there, is that normal? The podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need men to rule, great! And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bulls***. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here.
Our hometown is not a test tube. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the feeling. You make a pick in your fantasy draft in the entire room groans because they wanted that player. Or you grab a small school rookie off waivers and you start him right before he goes off in primetime. There's no better feeling than crushing your fantasy football league. I'm JJ Zacharyson, host of the Late Round Fantasy Football Podcast. Before your draft, our players to target and players to avoid episodes tell you exactly who to circle and who to cross off. We've got data-driven analysis, historical trends, and the strategies that separate winners from the rest. And your dominance doesn't stop with the draft.

I will be glad to be away from Dylan after this show. Wow. We need to have some separation here today. You think? Yeah. I think you're being a contrarian. I'm not your mother. She says that too. The stat of the day has been brought to you by Penini America, the official trading card to the program. Just for giggles, let's go around the room. You're Super Bowl picks. I gave mine yesterday. I have the Broncos and the Eagles in the Super Bowl. We'll go with Todd to start. I have what you have on the left side of your scoreboard. And I've got the Los Angeles Rams, Broncos beating Rams in the Super Bowl. All right. Dylan. I, Dan, have the Baltimore Ravens beating the Detroit Lions.
Okay? Marvin. I have the Houston Texans playing the Chicago Bears. Wow. Okay. Big day, Ray. I also have the Ravens winning, but over the Los Angeles Rams. Okay. All right. I like that. I'm Pat. Paul and Indianapolis. Hey, Paul. What do you have for me? Good afternoon, gentlemen. Has anyone checked to make sure that the Big Ten replay was not consulting with the 1970 Russian Federation as the basketball team beat the US three times in one game before they found out that the game was going to be a lot of fun. Before they found enough time to beat them in that game. And number two, you were speaking about Deon with his 263 average. There are only currently less than one dozen major league qualified hitters today, batting over 300 in the entire league.
Yeah. I was talking about Bo Jackson and his batting average. Deon had a higher batting average, I believe, for his major league career. But yeah, the game has changed. Nobody cares about batting average, unfortunately. But when Bo played, you did, you know, so it was important. Now it's not. But thank you, Paul. Zach and Knoxville's back. Hi, Zach. IDP. Thanks for taking my call for Marvin's next. He's going to do Sean Marion first. Then I would like him to do a deep dive on Gerald Wallace. And then I wanted to ask Todd what his favorite rejection is. Does he like to thank you Todd or to the my personal favorite when you plow through and just continue talking after cutting him off? Yes, Todd. Thank you, Todd. I'm kind of used to that. We had a shirt that was kind of cute. But when you just kind of go on to the next caller and just not even move tomorrow's headline today.
That would be a great example of it. Okay. So Niners in the Rams, I want you to write the headline of what you think the result is going to be. Todd, you being the great headline writer. Tomorrow's headline today. Kicking them while they're down under San Francisco beat. Okay. I'll give you a bloop on that. Dylan. Brock tober comes early well-rested Niners rise down under. Marvin. Stafford infection. Okay. Rams handle business down under big ray, big day ray. Niners bite Rams and season opener. Is this a Pukka Nukua? Yes, it is. Wow. Great to serve for that. Wow. Ray with a shot. The Niners are getting three and a half.
I'm looking at some of the other betting lines. The Ravens minus three and a half against the Colts. How about the bills? They are favored by one and a half in Houston against the Texans. That's one of those where you go. Man. Something's up with that one. Let's see. The Buccaneers and the Bengals is spicy. Buccaneers that's plus three and a half. The Jets are favored versus the Titans. The Robert Salah. It's a Salah bull. A favored by one and a half. Titans are now favored. Titans are favored. What else do we have? Packers by one and a half against the Vikings. Interesting. Cowboys minus three at the Giants. Broncos, three point underdogs against the chefs. Commanders Eagles. Commanders getting five and a half against Philadelphia. Just some of the betting lines.
For entertainment purposes only this week. Bobby and Chicago. Hi, Bobby. What do you have for me? Hi, guys. Bobby and Chicago first time caller. I just wanted to really quickly mention about the big schedule Drake May as he's called. In his career the big sketches had kind of ups and downs. He's an opener. I just want to draw your attention back to Florida the A&M game in 2022 and UNC. The big sketch went off. He had I think like four or five touchdowns. He just a quick one by against the Appalachian State 63-61. So just wondering if you guys think maybe this is the opposite. You know the big sketch had a rough first game. Is he going to come back huge next week? Well, my only concern and thank you, Bobby. Is that five consecutive games that have been subpar for him. If I go back to the playoffs last year. Now these are against all really good defenses and Seattle twice. That's the only reason why I bring that up. This day in sports history Todd or more than one of you do.
Got one right here in 1972. Gail Sayers of the Bears. Retired from the NFL short career. Yeah. Mickey Manel hit a home run that's believed to have traveled 643 feet. This in 1960 in Detroit. Wow 643 feet. Isn't the longest home run ever. Didn't Willie Starge will hit one out of Crosley field. It landed in a truck and then the truck kept driving. So he actually hit it like 50 miles. Todd, would you learn today Barry Melrose's contribution should be celebrated. He deserves induction into the hockey hall of fame. What did I learn today? Dylan made me stubborn but he's not an idiot. He just sometimes does stupid things. Enjoy the football. We look forward to chatting with you tomorrow. Is there an epidemic against literature? More specifically black literature. I'm Jack Eastpeace Thomas and on this season of the Black Lits podcast. We're outside asking why they don't want to hold bunch of little elevators.
