And it's always while I'm wearing a white shirt, too. And somehow, that's the exact moment I realize I'm out of staying remover. And I don't have another clean shirt to change into.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick's show on Fox Sports Radio. You know, the Raiders signing their center, Tyler Linderbaum, for $27 million per year. That's nine million more than the second highest-paid center who is Creed Humphrey with Kansas City. I love the signing. You get an elite center, and I'm going to have him in front of Fernando Mendoza,

3:02helping to block for Eston Genti as well. I think it's a very smart decision. I'd load up on offensive line. Early and often, if I'm the Raiders. The Chief's got Kenneth Walker Jr. the third. It's a three-year $45 million deal. And keep in mind, he's played more than 12 regular season games twice in his four years. He, of course, the Super Bowl MVP. Mike Evans going to the Niners. They're probably going to release Brandon Ayuk. You got to compete with L.A. in Seattle. And it says three years, 60 million. I'd be surprised at age 33 if he's able to go for three years. Malik Willis to the Dolphins. I told you, that's where I thought he was going to go three years at 67 million. The surprising part of this is, and I thought he would go there, but then I also said, if I'm the Dolphins, I would just stay with Quinn Ewers and then just kind of get through this season. Malik Willis, he's not coming into, I don't like using the word tank,

4:05but underperform. He wants to come in to prove that he is a starting quarterback in this league. But the Dolphins aren't ready to win now. And that's what was surprising. Now, it's not a lot of money for a starting quarterback, you know, $22.5 million. I think it's great. The Dolphins head coach, Jeff Halfley. He was the Packers DC last year. So he saw Willis every day in practice, and they bring him in. But I was wondering about the Kenneth Walker signing. Because the chiefs at nine, I thought maybe Jeremiah Love, if the chiefs were lucky, he would fall there. The Saints have Travis H.D.N. they signed him. The Cardinals aren't going to go, I don't think, for Jordan Love at number three. So maybe the Titans at four, Giants at five, or the commanders at seven. So these are the things when you look at the free agent signings, what do they mean at other positions, or players who are going to be drafted? And the Panthers did make the playoffs last year at eight and nine.

5:06But they went out and improved their defense. Jalen Phillips, it's a lot of money. Four for 120. And Devon Lloyd, he was a second team all pro in 2025. So those are just some of the moves that happen. And how they're going to impact teams with drafting. How they're going to impact other free agents there. But Kenneth Walker to the chiefs, that's good money that they paid. And Albert Breer, the money-mording quarterback, will join us next hour. We'll talk about college basketball, those who punched their tickets last night. The drama that is Magic City with the NBA. Have that for you as well. Seaton, what's the poll question for the first hour of this program? First hour poll question is from Paul. Who, dot, dot, dot, had the best day yesterday. Malik Willis, Tua, Fernando Mendoza, maybe Mike Evans even. There's a lot of people that changed the destinations that may be upgraded.

6:06We can populate this poll question if you'd like. Who? I'm not surprised. Had the best day yesterday. I'm not surprised Tua ended up in Atlanta. I thought if you were going to build your offense around a left handed quarterback bringing Tua in, he doesn't cost you anything. I don't think either of these quarterbacks is the future, a solution. But it doesn't cost anything. If I can bring Tua in, I don't know if Michael Pennex Jr. the third is going to be ready to start the season coming off an injury. And you bring in Tua, maybe. I mean, you got weapons there. And, you know, he doesn't have the strongest of arms. But he can move it around a little bit there. You got a great running back, bringing pits back. So maybe you got an offensive minded head coach. But I'm okay with this. Yeah, Paul. You can make the case that Tua's career is in better shape now than it was a week ago. He gets all his money. He's on a better roster, a better defense, a winnable division, much more winnable division compared to what he was in.

7:09Yeah. Yeah. I don't think there was any real downside. Just like the Vikings bringing in Kyler Murray, I think that's where he's gone. I said that from the beginning. That would be the place. And I think with Kevin O'Connell, with some offensive weapons there. He's indoors on turf. I like that as well. But Trey Hendrickson is kind of in no man's land. You know, he missed out on that big contract. He got the one year franchise contract or offer from the Bengals. And now he's out looking for work. And at his age, he's not going to get that big contract. You know, might get front loaded, maybe get some decent guaranteed money. But he missed out on his window. Yeah, see. It does seem like with this like salary cap bump that happened this year. Players are getting paid. Yeah. Maybe more so than it's a little bit here and there. But you know, I mean, that McDuffie deal is huge. Even Laramie Tunsell got two years 60. That's damn good money. There's a whole bunch of guys, you know, the Alec Pierce money.

8:12Four years, 114 million. That's Alec Pierce was a kid out of Cincinnati. And I remember watching one of their games. I'm like, that dude gets behind the defense. And that's what he does. He gets behind the defense. He's not a guy that's going to have 80 catches. He's going to get 40 and then he'll turn 40 into 10 touchdowns. He averages about 22 yards per reception. But he got $29 million. Now I go, wow, that's a lot of money for a guy who's not even your number one option. But $29 million per season. So that's one million less than Amon Ross St. Brown. That's $4 million more than DeBonte Smith. That's $5 million more than Nico Collins. Wow. For a guy who, well, hopefully he can develop into a 80 catch guy. But he does make you pay with the 40 plus catches.

9:13Yes, Paul. Yeah, Alec Pierce, last year, only 47 catches 1,000 yards, 21 yards of catch. The year before 22 yards of catch. That's like old AFL days numbers. Yeah, you don't get too many of those guys that are like, he just does one thing. He beats you deep. But they, the Colts, Michael Pittman Jr., the third goes to Pittsburgh. But Alec Pierce, your go-to guy for the Colts staying home. Yes, Paul. If you're the owner of an average team or a below average team that didn't do much, and I know it's been only that first day yesterday, what is the owner I want to say to the general manager or coaching staff is like, you know, what are we doing here? Well, you have a couple more days, but you miss out on the big ticket items. And I go back to Jerry Jones. He was all in and then he was going to bust the budget, I think, this year. Like, he comes up with slogans. It's just, he doesn't really do anything. I mean, Rashon Gary, nice player. You know, he's kind of a plug-and-play, you know, kind of, let's stop the run game, I guess.

10:17Just like Kenny Clark. So they got another Kenny Clark from the Green Bay Packers. But I keep waiting for doubt. I mean, the only move in the offseason was that press got not getting married. And if I'm a cowboy fan, I'm going to have no. What do you mean? He was engaged, right? I honestly don't know about this. They were at the bachelor at and bachelor parties. And then after that decided they weren't going to get married. Is he a restricted for agent right now? I think he's unrestricted. Oh, yes, he. Lots of people saying he got too close to a ring and had to. Yes, that's true. He had to back away. A little too close to a ring. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. David and Ohio. Hi, David. Yeah, seeing just all my thunder there. But yeah, free agency news. That press got fallen off the wedding. Or I don't know what happened there. And like Seaton said, it's not like the cowboys to, you know, choke a month before getting the ring.

11:21So thank you. All right, David. I know we had a cowboy joke in there somewhere. All right, 877 3DP show will come up with a poll question watching basketball. I did watch the world baseball classic with Team USA. Paul schemes looked like he was in midseason form there last night. Sometimes there are certain pictures where you go. It's not fair. Randy Johnson, when he would get on the mound and I would say boy, it's not fair. Especially if you're left handed batter with schemes. It doesn't matter. He was bringing cheese there. It was fun to watch. And then I'm watching OKC and the Denver Nuggets. And it's back and forth. Chokers playing great. SGA's playing great. Game on the line. And SGA has the ball. And as I yell out loudly to wake up my dog next to me. Double him double. Oh my god. Step back. Three boom. And I go. Oh my goodness. He's the only guy in the building who's going to take the shot.

12:21OKC didn't have their full starting lineup. And give credit to SGA. He was great. Great. You look at the numbers here. 35. He scored at least 20 points and 126 consecutive games. So he's tied with Wilt Chamberlain for the longest such streak in NBA history. He also had 15 assists. He also didn't commit a turnover. And over the last five years SGA has made eight go ahead. Baskets in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. Three more than any other player. SGA to the day brought to my Panini America the official trading cards to the damn Patrick show. And this isn't like you have to have your Heisman moment. But this could be your MVP moment. Because if you didn't stay up and watch it, but National TV, you'll see it on Sports Center.

13:24And you're going to see him hit a big shot against their rival. And the guy who was up there for MVP as well in Joker. But SGA methodical. And I know people can now they're starting to go well, you know, he kind of gets a lot of calls of fouls called. And he kind of initiates contact. You know, we went through this with James Harden. He's a great player. He's a great player and game on the line. He's done everything that you want. He plays hard and probably going to be the MVP. Now, I thought he was going to win the MVP even before this. Just because OK, C is played well, although they did taper off a little bit. I think we thought they're on a record breaking pace. So he'll be the MVP. Joker to me, still the best player. I think Jalen Brown might be the most valuable player. Just because what he did in a year that we thought was maybe a throw away year for the Celtics, kept them in the thick of things and now Tatum is back.

14:26And they might be the team to beat in the East. But you're watching and you're going. What is your defensive philosophy if you're going to play man on man against SGA. And you're going to leave some poor kid on an island with the best player MVP. And they paid for it. Paid for it. Yes, Marvin. When I saw that play, all I could think about was you and how angry you were. Two people on him. If Lou Dort hits the shot or one of the Jalen Williams hits the shot, all right. But not him. It cannot be. Every single time you know, the team's best player hits a game winner. I just see you come in the next day. Marvin. I can never, ever let the best player on the floor beat me. And yes, they did forcing to take a three, but it was a step back jumper. And I got to take the ball out of his hands. It's as simple as that. Somebody else beats me. Good.

15:26I'm fine with that. I got to take the ball out of his hands. And there was another defender right there at the top of the key who could have come over, making pickup is dribble, making pass it. And maybe you get somebody who is not ready to take that big shot. Like, what is the downside to that? We're going to double SGA. If he makes a shot when he's double team, hey, he earned it. We deserve to lose. But in that moment, I can't let him take that shot.

Who had the best day yesterday, Albert? Oh, hey, Dan. I love what the chiefs did. I think, you know, like if you look at kind of where they were, I'm going into the day. They needed to fill running back. They needed to fill nose tackle. They get both those addressed. The reason I really like the Kenneth Walker deal.

20:36I go back a couple of years. And I remember, you know, when Derek Henry, Josh Jacobs and Sequan Barkley did deals on the first day of free agency. And there were a lot to be like, I can't believe teams are spending on running backs, all of that stuff. And I remember taking a step back and thinking to myself, well, look at the three teams that did it. It was the Eagles, the Packers, and the Ravens. And those aren't dumb teams. And so, you know, my thought on it at the time was, if we got into the point now where teams are looking at and saying that position has been devalued to the point where it's become a value, right? And so then I dug into a little deeper, talked to those teams. It was pointed out to me that Darnell Mooney got signed by the Falcons for about the same, same, at about the same rate that Barkley Jacobs and Henry God, which was insane to me. You know, when you think about the value of those players, so I think that the top end veteran running back

21:38who makes it to the free agent market has become a value. And so the chiefs get that in Kenneth Walker, a guy who can plan all three downs, had 133 catches over his four years in Seattle. Something that really haven't had in a long time in Kansas City. They get Kairis Tonga to fill their nose tackle roll. They get a low-heed Gellman to play safety form. I think Tonga and Gellman, two guys that switched teams last year are ascending now. So they get those guys, I think, on the way up. You know, and I think the other thing it does, Dan, to me, that's really important. This is going to be a big draft for the chiefs after the Trent McDuffy trade. And I don't think if you're the chiefs, you can count on Jeremiah Love falling to you at nine. So by getting Walker, it really frees them up. Did you just go get the best player with a ninth pick and not have to trade up? And they have the ninth, 29th and 40th picks. So if they want, they can go in and maybe get a Travis Kelsey successor in Kenyans to Deek. They can go in and get a receiver,

22:38like maybe a carnal tape falls to them. They can go get a corner, like D'Lane from LSU. You know, you just look at all the different things that they could do now in the draft and getting Kenneth Walker opens a lot of that up for them. So I really like what the chiefs did all the way around. And I think it sets them up to have a really great draft and have a different looking team around Patrick Mahomes when he gets back off the ACL. I'm guessing the chiefs did their due diligence realizing that Jeremiah Love is not going to be there. And they had to upgrade. So that means Titans, Giants, does Arizona entertain the idea of Jeremiah Love that high? So I think for all those teams, the question you got to ask is like, how quickly are we going to get really, really good, right? So the thing about taking a running back that high is that they're a rookie deal. That's going to be a part of their prime because it's easier to plug guys in at that position

23:40and you can produce almost right away. And so I think for Arizona, for the Giants, for the Titans, what it's going to take is a real sober-looking eroster and saying to yourself, are we in a position to do this rather than, you know, taking a tackle or a pass rusher or someone in a premium position? And I think that's sort of indicative of the overall make-up of the top 10. I made this comparison a couple of weeks ago and I think it's an interesting one. Do you remember the Lions in 2023, what they did when they took to Mayor Gibbs and Jack Campbell in the first round, right? Do you remember how they were criticized for that, Dan? A running back in an off-ball linebacker? Well, you know, now three years later, Jack Campbell's first team all pro and Gibbs has made three pro bowls, right? And so, and if you look at the guys who went at premium positions around them, I mean, I picked out 12 or 13 guys that were picked right around there and only Christian Gonzalez and Jackson, Smith and Jigba

24:42are the same level or better than the two guys the Lions got. The reason I'm saying that is because, you know, I think that's going to be a question a lot of teams are going to have to ask is like, do we take a premium position, a corner, an edge rusher, a tackle, you know, in the top, call it 12 picks? Or do we go with an off-ball linebacker and sunny styles or running back in Jeremiah Love or a safety and Caleb Downs? That's sort of the make-up of the top end of the drive because you don't have a mile's gear at type of edge rusher. You don't have a Joe Alt type of tackle. You're going to have to compromise some. And so it does make for an interesting decision. But I think for the teams you mentioned, the important thing is going to be, are we ready to take a running back and plug them in and maybe pass up on somebody who could fill a hole at a premium spot? Yeah, commanders might be the landing spot for Jeremiah Love. We're talking to Albert Breer, the money morning quarterback. I like that the Raiders spent money.

25:44I like that they went out and they overspent for a center but I got to have the first line of defense for my quarterback. I got to start with my center who is a high end center. I like that. And then they kind of filled in with maybe players that were not too familiar with, but they will serve a purpose there. The Raiders spent money. Did they spend it wisely? So they overspent on Tyler Linderbaum. But I think it was actually a good overspend. Here's the way I look at it. I think center is probably a more important position than guard and especially in that offense. So like Trace Smith and Tyler Smith are at the top of the guard market right now, right around 24 million. So let's say the value for Tyler Linderbaum is 23 or 24 million. Would you rather just spend the 3 million extra and get the player than risk losing him to the commanders of the Browns or whoever was in it if you're the Raiders?

26:45Like 3 million isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. And if you've got to overpay because you haven't been winning, then go ahead and do it, right? And what you get to me when you look at this is, hey, a guy who's a great scheme fit. He's a smaller guy for the position, but that doesn't matter as much in the Kubiak offense. He's athletic. He can pull. So all of that's in place. And then in that, in that offense, they put a lot mentally on the center, right? The center is a huge part of the pre-snap operation when it comes to setting protections and all of that stuff. That takes stuff off the plate of the quarterback. So that's going to take stuff off the plate of Fernando Mendoza. So by investing in Linderbaum, I think you're investing in Mendoza. So that's why I like that move. I think it's a scheme fit and it helps you with your young quarterback. And then, you know, as far as the other things they did, they took advantage of a depressed market for off-ball linebackers and going and getting Quay Walker and a Kobe Dean. They're taking a flyer and a former first round, taking Quiddy pay. They're bringing back Eric Stokes, you know,

27:47who I think flashed again as a former first round or a corner. You know, I think, you know, when you get past Linderbaum, I think you see a lot of sensible mid-level moves, you know? They're not the top of the market, but I think they're moves that could make them better, you know, in the short term in the long term. So I like where the Raiders spent their money yesterday. I'm trying to understand the dolphins. I wasn't surprised Malik Willis went there, but I was surprised that why not just let this season play out? Why not have Quinn you or us play? You're not winning anything. So you're going to give away one of Malik Willis's, you know, one year out of three years. It's not a lot of money. And I do like him. Yeah. Why not just ride this out? You know, you're not going to be good. Once again, it's supposed to be a good quarterback draft next year. Why not be in the mix for somebody who is truly a franchise quarterback? Yeah, I'm with you on all that.

28:47Like this is very clearly a rebuilding year. Like a tear down to the studs year for them, right? Like no question about it. I think it's a credibility play is the way I would look at it. I mean, look, like I don't think there's any question that they're not going to be great this year. And, you know, I think, you know, over the course of the next few weeks, the next couple of months, I mean, you're going to see the dolphins really put a lot of eggs in the basket of the draft. And that's been the charge of ownership, you know, the week when they were going out and looking for a new GM and looking for a new head coach, a huge part of it was what we need to draft and develop better. And that's why they go and get a couple guys from the Packers and John Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hathley. Because that place has been a player development machine over the years. And so, I'm with you on like they need a draft better. They have fewer draft picks than any team in the league over the last four years. A couple of their draft classes out of the last five have been complete wastelands. They need to fix that and they're going to try and fix that this off season.

29:47At the same time, I mean, you can't be the Cleveland Indians from minor from from major league. You know what I mean? Like if you're if you're trying to if you're trying to build a program. And so I do think like bringing in Malik Willis from Green Bay, you know, John Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hathley know exactly what they're getting with them. At least gives you some credibility that, you know, for the players who are on hand, we are going to give you a chance on a week to week basis. And you know, maybe we don't have Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes here. But we do have a guy that we can game plan within a guy that we can compete with. And so just as far as like getting buy-in from the players and energizing the team this year, I think Malik Willis does that. And you know, I view him as sort of a high-end bridge to whoever the next guy is. And maybe it's somebody like an archmaning or a Brendan Soresby or a CJ car or a Trinidad Chambers, whoever it is next year. Kyle Murray seems like a foregone conclusion.

30:49He's going to Minnesota. Is that correct? I think he'd like to go to Minnesota. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I think that's a fair guess. But if not Minnesota, then where? Indianapolis? Like I, you know, do you, here's the thing. If you're Kyle Murray, because you, you're going to play on the minimum next year, right? So money is not an object. The cardinals are basically paying you next year. So the reason Kyle Murray wanted to be cut rather than traded is because he wanted to go in. He wanted to be able to pick his next destination for football reasons only, right? So if you're Kyle Murray, is your best play to go to the Jets? Or is your best play to go to the Colts? If it's not the Vikings, right? If you go to the Colts, you get to play for Shane Steichen.

31:49You get all the starter reps to the spring and summer. Maybe Daniel Jones is ready for the opener. But if he gets hurt again, then you get in and you'll have some familiarity with the players there. And they've got good offensive players and guys like Pierce and Warren and not Pittman anymore. But Jonathan Taylor, good offensive line. So I think those are the things you have to weigh, right? Like if you're Kyle Murray, Minnesota obviously be perfect. And I can tell you this, like Kevin O'Connell has looked at these sorts of reclamation projects over the last couple of months in anticipation of being here. And they had such success resurrecting Sam Donnell's career a couple of years ago that they're really interested in doing that with someone again. So my guess would be like where your guess is that he winds up with the Minnesota Vikings. But I think Geno Smith could wind up being a factor there too. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I bring up Jerry Jones, not to troll anybody here, but he's the one who was all in last year.

32:51And then he's going to bust the budget this year. What are they waiting on? I think they were in the Max Crosby sweepstakes. They were in until the end, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I would say one name to keep an eye on for them would be, would be Tray Hendricks in. Especially if the market comes down a little bit like it seems to have. They did take care, they did address the edge rusher question, which is the biggest question for them coming into this off season. In going and trading for Sean Gary. But I wouldn't be surprised if they're not necessarily done there yet. They've got a young player they really like in Donovan as a Raku who was a rookie last year. So I think you could wind up seeing an addition there. They've obviously got the money tied up in George Pickens on the franchise tag. They paid Javante Williams and they did make the run at Max Crosby.

33:53They'll see them doing something at corner here in the next day or two. So I don't think they're done, but they did make a move right before the start of free agency in trading for Gary. And I think we're saying Gary's better than some of the edge ruskers that got paid out there on the market. And if they wind up with both Gary and Hendricks in. Well, now you're talking about kind of reimagining who you are on the defensive front. Especially if a guy like has a Raku can take another step. So free agency is not over yet. We're not even 24 hours in. So I think the Cowboys defense is going to look significantly different by the time we get to the beginning of May when the draft is over. And maybe we'll see another move or two as part of that in the next day or two. Good to talk to you as always. Know you're busy. Thank you, Albert. Awesome. Thanks, Dan. Appreciate it.

The ramsier favorite, followed by the Seahawks and the Ravens, their time, then it's the Bill's Chiefs Packers Niners Eagles Chargers Lions. And Fritzy wanted to know one of our callers wanted to know where the Broncos. Well, the Patriots are next, then the Texans, then it's the Broncos,

39:00Jags and Bears, then it's the Bengals. Bengals have better odds than the Cowboys, and the Buccaneers, and the Steelers, and the Vikings, and the Colts, and the Commanders. Wow. So you start to look, I guess it's surprising. Now I will be surprised if the Patriots make the playoffs this year. I just think they'll be a little bit of a dip. But they're probably 11th best odds, then the Texans, they're actually tied with the Patriots, and then the Broncos as well. And as one of the callers said, hey, you know, we're a healthy ankle away from going to the Super Bowl, and you're probably right. The Jags, Jags at plus 2,500, the Bears plus 2,500, then you got the Bengals plus 3,000, the Cowboys plus 3,500. But the Buccaneers and the Steelers, Steelers at plus 5,000, Vikings plus 6,000,

40:00that'll improve once they get Kyler Murray. In my opinion, the Steelers, I'm assuming Aaron Rogers will be back. I don't know if there's any possibility he could go elsewhere or the Steelers would entertain Kyler Murray. But Albert Breer the Monday morning quarterback joined us. Last hour, and he said, Kyler wants to go to the Vikings. It's just a question of, do the Vikings want him? All right. Whole question for the final hour of the program. See, it's going to be what? We got many. We got a million of them up there right now. Maybe some of our most eclectic slash diverse poll questions. One from Paul. Who had the best day yesterday right now? Malik Willis has about 49% of that vote followed by Fernando Mendoza. Yes, Paul? Beyond financially, he was going to get paid anywhere. Did Malik Willis's career get better? Noticeably better? Well, he has the chance to be starting quarterback. On a team that had a fire sale and has very few weapons left in the cupboard.

41:02I don't know. Are you saying he should have stayed in Green Bay as a backup quarterback instead of going to Miami? No, I would say was there a better football option out there because the money would have probably been equal. I don't think there is unless he was going to go to Arizona because it feels like the Vikings are going to go with Kyler Murray. Do you want to go to Arizona? Do you want to go to Miami? Yeah. I mean, if you look at the teams that were maybe interested in them, right? The dolphins, cardinals, browns, jets, maybe with the Steelers I suppose could have been. Maybe the Vikings, but maybe they were. Maybe that money wasn't right. We might think that there were more people interested in them than they really were. Yeah, and the money, I mean, it's not a lot to get a guy who's going to be a starting quarterback three years and it's $67.5 million total.

42:02That's pretty good. Pretty good. Especially since he just spent $350 million for one year or two. It's a unbelievable bargain. Not exactly that, but close. My numbers might be off a little bit. Yes, Paul. Next year, $20 will make $56.5 million. $55 million. I double-check this. He's going to make $56.5 to a next year. $55 from Miami, $1.5 from Atlanta. Malik Willis will make $23 million next year. Fernando Mendoza will make $33.5 million. That combines for $56 million. Yeah. So it was a wild day yesterday from start to finish and still, you know, Tray Hendrickson could end up with the Cowboys. Kyle Murray. He's going to be released tomorrow. And I think he'll end up with the Vikings. The Malik Willis to the Dolphins. I wasn't surprised that he went there. I was kind of surprised at the philosophy of the Dolphins. Why not just let Quinn Ewers play. And then you'll be in the market for a franchise quarterback next year.

43:04Probably what Arizona is thinking. They brought in Gardner Mint shoe there. So it feels like they'll have a room full of backup quarterbacks that somebody has to start there. I like what the Raiders did. I spent some money. But it's only the first day. And, you know, there'll be bits and pieces to fill in. But also, what does this mean for certain teams with the draft? That's what interests me. Probably more so as we move into the second and third day of free agency. All right. So new poll question, Satan, or did you just clean up the previous questions? That was one. We got a bunch more here. Here's one from the mind of Todd Fritz with their latest moves. And if Fernando Mendoza proves to be the real deal, the Raiders are silver and back. Question mark. Right now your options there. Are you betcha or easy? They're easy there right now. It's at 77% of that vote. Canceling Magic City Knight was smart or lame. Right now, the lanes have that at 54% of the audience. Let's see.

44:04There was another one in here too that I can't seem to find. Which is a better movie, Wedding Crashers or Old School. That is straight up 50-50 right now. And whose career would you want? Luke Wilson or Owen Wilson? 80% Owen Wilson. Dang, Luke, you're going to take that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Todd. Has Luke been in anything of note very recently? I see him on some phone commercial walking in the desert with a dog as far as comparing Owen and Luke's career. I don't know what Luke's been in. The reason he buys a loan, I would go Owen as well. Okay. Owen, does he have a golf series? I think. I don't know what it's called, but I saw the promotional campaign around that. But I don't know what Luke's been involved in. Yeah. They've been in the car about some nice careers there. Heck yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

45:04Can you do an impersonation if it's only one word? Like you did your bread far every impersonation I have is essentially one word. Is one word? Yeah. Of course. Of course. Of course. Yeah. All right. We'll get to some phone calls here. A quiet day so far with free agency. Congratulations to Troy and Furman. They have punched their tickets to that big dance team USA. Drop Mexico. And that was fun to watch. It is. It's one of those where I go. I don't know if I want to watch. And then I watch and I go. Why do I say I don't know if I want to watch it? I'm watching Korea against Australia. And I'm going. All right. The environment is pretty good. And now team USA, I think they have Italy coming up. Is that right? And you throw out the records when those two get together. You just never know.

46:06Italy known for their baseball. Italian baseball is no joke. Yes. But here's the thing. The Italians. Are they Italian Americans? Or are they like straight from Rome? Like is that Mike Piazza? Like, you know what? I have great grandfather that came over from the old country. I don't know the roster. Maybe, maybe you look at the roster and see how many players are from the United States. Yes, Marvin. I just got word from our expert, Mario, that it's a lot of Italian Americans. Okay. So like the Rocco Baudelli's of the world. Rocco Baudelli. Okay. Yes, Paul. I have the Italy baseball roster up on my screen at all times. But it's probably two-thirds USA-born quickly looking at it. There's actually players that are born in both Canada and Venezuela on the Italy roster, which is interesting. So I would say it's mostly USA-born players. Sunday night basketball and NBC and peacock every Sunday night.

47:09You got Nick's in the Warriors Sunday night on NBC and peacock. We talked a little bit about SGA hitting the game winner last night. He had a stat line that only one other player. We believe in NBA history, at least when they started keeping these stats. LeBron James, where he went for 35-15 and no turnovers also hitting the game winner. Tony in California leads us off. Final hour. Hey, Tony. Hey, guys. Good morning. I'm so incredibly happy, man. The Clippers beat the Knicks to reach 500, split into the eighth spot. I'm a believer. We're so good now. Even when we lose to the Spurs, we make Wembee cry. And he said, quote, it was the toughest game of my career. That's the most physical team in the league. I'm a believer, Dan. I know you're still a little incredulous. I'm going to have to wait. I'm going to play the long game with the Clippers there. I'm just curious what happens to Kauai Leonard.

48:11After, you know, they do that investigation. I don't know what the commissioner is waiting on, but it feels like Pablo Torres is still kind of trolling the commissioner of, what are you waiting for here with Kauai Leonard? And somehow does he end up a free agent? Let's see. How about Zach and Knoxville? Hi, Zach. What's on your mind today? Hi, D.P. Thanks for taking my call. I'm pretty sure that all that Magic City gear is going to the same place that the 18-0 Patriots Super Bowl gear is going. There was a story on the ESPN years ago about how they send that out to Africa, or, you know, certain places. So there's going to be a bunch of kids walking around with some Magic City swag. And I was just wondering if, you know, you remember you had that conversation with Jonah Hill about if he was,

49:11you know, if he's not as funny, if he, since he got skinnier, do you think it would have their reverse effect on Todd? If Todd got skinnier, he might be funnier. Wow. You might know that about that. Wow. I didn't expect that from Zach. They don't get funnier when they get skinnier. And that was totally unnecessary to draw the kind of connection you're doing. Zach gets it. Zach gets it. A little bit of a reach just to take a shot at me. Wow. How about we try it, Todd? Well, that's something I should be working on. Humor or not, I should be working on trapping some LBs, but I find it hard to believe that as you get slimmer, you would become funnier. That just doesn't seem like that would happen. There's very few funny, well, Jerry Seinfeld. I want to see someone that's like kind of out of shape and sweaty, and angry, and sarcastic. So, well, how come I'm not funny? You know, Dateship Hell's not Chubby.

50:11Adam Lee, you know, Christchurch's not Chubby. There's a lot of people with, you know, they're not Chubby. Are you following Will Ferrell's fan? I think it's easier probably to laugh with and at somebody. They got good material, and you're like, thank goodness, I don't look like that. And they're saying something funny. They got a better chance of getting some chuckles. Okay. All right. Thank you, Zach. Yeah, thanks, Zach. Yeah. Yes, Paul. You could go the other way, Todd, and put on 20, and see if you can get even more funny. That's what it might have to get a laugh that I discovered, even more calories. Yeah, that was a rough moment when I'm bringing that up to Jonah Hill, because he had lost weight, and I was just curious to do people look at you differently. I wasn't saying, you're not as funny. I was saying, do people look at you? He didn't appreciate that. No, he didn't. He did not appreciate that. That was his last appearance on the show. Yes. Yes.

51:11And I think Will Ferrell likes to remind me of that moment with Jonah. That was unfortunate. Yes, Paul. This might be irony, but if you remember the movie, Funny People with Sandler, Jonah Hill's Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill's character says something about Rogen's character, you're not as funny now that you're in shape or something like that. He actually says that in the movie, because in the movie, he gets in shape. Maybe that's where I got it from. I remember that line from the movie. I don't remember exactly the line. But I remember Jonah Hill going, Dan, are you really going to ask me that? I went, yep. You know, not to sort of pile on. But it was right around the same era that you asked a college football coach if their weight impacted their ability to recruit. And they didn't appreciate that either. I remember the name and the question. I do too. I was just trying to leave that out. But they also did not appreciate that question.

52:14And that's why we don't win a sports Emmy. Right there. You know? I give it, then I take it away. Any who? Yes, Todd. Not everybody gets your sense of humor. That's what it all comes down to. Your wife says it, everybody says it. It's like, my dude's got to loosen up a little bit. Do you think I'm too thin to be funny? Me personally? I've left a lot of things you said over the years. I don't think weight does anything to do with it. Yeah, but I'm your boss. I'm your boss. Yeah, but that being said, you know, we've given taking shots at each other over the less 20 plus years, so that doesn't get in the way of that. But if I gain 20 pounds, we'll be hilarious. Thank you, Todd. Dan and Naples, I Dan, what's on your mind today? Quick question from Marr, based on your Buffalo take. Do you think Dak's fiance and her fans are happier with her second round exit? Or do you think they would have been happier? You know, making it to the big show. I'll hang up and listen. So, Dak Prescott and his fiance have broken up.

53:17Would you rather just be dating or make it all the way to, you have a bachelor bachelor at party and then all of a sudden you decide you're not getting married? Marvin? Well, they didn't get married, so he probably, he wanted this in this scenario, right? So you'd rather date. Did she win? I'm talking about Dak. So Dak won. I don't know what happened in this relationship. I don't either. They both, they both had their bachelor bachelor at parties and then all of a sudden they announced that they weren't getting married. Yes, Todd. Yes, Hannah Worms, but we're kind of what we're hinting at and dancing around the elephant in the room. Would you sign a prenup or expect your future spouse to sign a prenup is kind of what we're saying. Uh, TMZ debunked that story. Yeah, full debunking. Debunking. Harvey Levin debunked that. So a fun question to ask. Okay, if your wife made a whole lot of money, would you sign a prenup?

54:19Todd? I would be offended at first. Like, really? We're already planning on getting divorced and you're like, you're worried about me taking half? But if I really loved her and I would probably go, I say she's got a billion dollars, but you have to sign a prenup. And she's like smoking hot and everything and all that kind of thing. And I'm just really head over heels. There's no other on the planet. I don't know what she looks like. I like that right now. You're debating whether you should sign a prenup if the smoking hot billionaire wants to sign a prenup. I don't know what I'm going to get in the future. This may be my only chance for me. But I would, uh, I would sign it, I guess. Yeah, it's something. Yes, Paul. I think I would sign it if I married someone who had a gigantic career financially before we met. And in a prenup, you still get something. It's not you walk out with a zero. Well, a lot of times you get paid with each year of marriage. So let's say you get a million dollars with each year of marriage. Then you get to 25 years and you get a $10 million bonus. Seaton, prenup. You sign?

55:19Would I, of course. Yeah. Yeah, I would too. It's really not a big deal to me. Yeah, it's her money. She made it. Yeah. I'm fine. Well. But I'll, now, would you ask somebody to sign a prenup? Let's say you're worth a billion, Todd. Would you ask your fiance to sign a prenup? I would say, uh, can you just sign something for me and I wouldn't, uh, you know, just, I kind of block out to, uh, redact what's on there. No, I would, uh, I probably would. I would ask for, uh, if she wouldn't mind signing that. But you're offended. But you'd, you'd be offended if your wife, uh, you're. Yes. Initially, initially I'd be like, I'd be offended and would be my initial reaction. Like you worried about me. That's why I'm in this because I want to have your money if this doesn't work out. And then I would calm down and say, yeah, where do I sign? Yes, Marvin. If she helped me build the billion? No. But if I come in already as a billionaire? Yes. Pre-nope. Mm-hmm. Yes, sir. All right. Uh, let's take a break.

56:19And we'll get some more phone calls. You got one of them. Do it. No. No. No. I didn't make any money when I met my wife. It'd be an awkward conversation to have now, though. Hey, hey. I was just thinking, what do we get our paperwork in order? What do you think about it, Pre-nope? That would be an awkward one now. At this point in the game? What is this idea? Are we leasing a car? What's this paperwork? This is a bad idea. Yeah. Post-nope. You know, it'd be a tough, initial conversation. But, uh, no, I didn't make any money. She didn't make any money. She can have it all.
