Stat of the day phone number 877 3DP. Show operator Tyler sitting by to take your phone calls. The NFL is a week away. I think the next 48 hours are really important for Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys. For some reason I have no intel on this. I just get the sense the next 48 hours, maybe 24 hours are going to be really important on what's going to happen for the Dallas Cowboys. Certainly that opening night a week from tonight against the Philadelphia Eagles. So nice slate of college football action coming up tonight for entertainment purposes only according to DraftKings. Boise State, South Florida. Spicy. Yeah, I like that. Let me see, what else will I want? Nebraska at Cincinnati. Nebraska getting six and a half. Boise State getting five and a half at South Florida. Ohio versus Rutgers because you do want to take advantage of the New York market. Everybody, everybody wants to schedule Rutgers so they can take advantage. I, I laughed at that when that when Rutgers joined the Big Ten. And I read reports where the big Ten wanted to have the New York market. And I said there is no New York market for college football. There's not. And it wouldn't be Rutgers if it was. But they wanted to get the New York. We want to get in the New York market. We want Rutgers because that great history of football with Rutgers football. East Carolina, North Carolina State. That's A, that's a good rivalry. East Carolina getting 14 against NC State. I'll take the Pirates there. Nice. Elon getting 33 and a half at Duke. See, I'm okay with that matchup with the first week because you're not going across the country. Akron's playing Wyoming. Stony Brook is playing San Diego State. Ridiculous. Thank you, Todd. Buffalo at Minnesota. Miami of Ohio getting 17 and a half at Wisconsin. Hey, it's football we'll watch. And then you have the games coming up this weekend. You have, well, you have the big one coming up with Ohio State. Ohio state favored by 1 1/2 and that might be a pick them at game time. Let me see. Alabama favored by 14 at Florida State. Let's see. LSU plus three and a half at Clemson. Boy, that's a hammer to come out of the box. Notre Dame minus two and a half at Miami. So a lot of interesting matchups here. And you, you don't say must win situation because it feels like now with 12 teams in the playoffs, like you can afford two losses and still make the playoffs here. And if you're looking at strength of schedule, if you do lose a game, did you lose a game on the road and how much did you lose by. But nice slate night. Slate of college football games coming up. Let's see. Seaton, got a poll question for the first hour of the program? Heck yeah, we do. I'm just putting this one up there right now. The first day of fall is September 1st. The first day of college football. Or with an eye roll, September 22nd. September's the only thing yet. Well, Todd being the guy who graduated second in his class in high school, he would probably say it'd be September 21st or 22nd. Todd. Yeah, you got to go based on the, the moon and the stars and the galaxies, the way it all lines up to the thing. Okay. From a non sports standpoint, I think it's the beginning of September. I think that's if that's fair to say. September 1st. That's when fall starts. Yes, Paul? Yeah, Dan, that's a correct answer. Because you understand fall and football back when the, the equinox was built or the lunar calendar, they didn't have foliage, they didn't have college football. They didn't know. I don't blame them. So are we saying the start of the fall is today or the first? Well, it's floaty. There are two different options in the poll question. The first day of college football or September 1st. Okay. I think you have to base it on Temperature in the Midwest, east coast, and you woke up today and it was about 53 degrees. That's football, right? That's football weather. But I, I would say September 1st because we had football last week and we didn't say it was fall. I think let's, you know, make it clean. It's September 1st. It's fall. I hit 55 last week while you were in Maine. As did I. That's why I'm saying September 1st. But I do think we're getting to football weather. It's crisp. Crisp, yes. Todd, what about the thought of a Labor Day or the end of the Labor Day weekend? That's the official end of summer slash start of fall. A lot of people kind of recognize it's school. You already committed to September 22nd. Did I commit to it? I was just giving the argument towards those who think that it would be September 22nd. We're not, we're not going to wrestle. We're not. I've always looked at it as once the Labor Day weekend is a wrap. That was your last shot at doing something by the beach or whatever. And now it's fall. Deal with it. Which kind of, you know, leads into September 1st. It doesn't always fall out on September 1st, though. Sometimes I'm almost positive I just heard Todd say the word equinox, which. Yeah, I've never said. Paul, he said equal. That's a to tell. I said the stars and the moon in the galaxy. He said clearly the word autumnal equinox. Okay, okay. Any other, Any other. We can ask Chris Fowler when he joins us. Yes. I have another question. How much do you dive into all these games to tonight and today, Thursday, being that, do you need to pace yourself with the amount of college football and NFL we're going to consume? Do you dive right into it today or do you take a little peek at a couple of games? What are you going to do? I'm going to take a peek at a few different games. I'm not going to be like all wall to wall seven o' clock till midnight watching his five hours of college football. That's being honest. And I'm a big sports fan. What else will you be doing? I will probably watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I will see if you know anyone one of those network shows that catches my eye. Know Date Line, a rear dateline, Forensic Files. I'm big on on cnn. Yeah, Paul, you could do that in late July. That's true. You can do that in early August. I just want to get burnt Out. I got to pace myself now. Watching football all night is exactly what you should be doing. Mostly because we work here, but also because it's awesome. Yeah, I, I mean this is college football. You, there's a lot to sample. I think there's a game, it starts at 5:30 Eastern. Awesome. I'm like, okay, sure. Early bird special. I'm fine with that. All right. 8 7, 73 DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Shows Chris Fowler, ABC ESPN College Football and tennis announcer will join us coming up. In or out will play in or out. And the Chiefs are getting Richie Rice back. You, you might forget how dangerous and good he was. He got a six game suspension and I think they said he accepted a six game suspension. I think they, I think he realized it could be a whole lot worse with the six game suspension. Terry McLaurin back at the Commander's practice as well. And Shohei Otani pitched five innings. He had nine strikeouts. He got the win. But the pitcher that I have been watching, his name is Nolan McLean. He allowed four hits over eight shutout innings. And the Mets had a win against the Phillies. This guy has got like breaking ball stuff that is wicked, as the kids like to say. Filthy. He has 21 strikeouts and I, I'm curious how many are by swinging because it feels like when he throws it and these guys, they got no chance. His first three starts, his ERA is 1.19. Oh, actually it's 0.89 after last night. 0.89. It breaks Tom Seaver's franchise record set in 1967. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. You watch this kid with his breaking ball. It's wicked. It is it. And it's always in the dirt. You know, that's one of those that's coming right here and then zoom goes down and away and. And I'm trying to think who has a breaking ball, A right handed pitcher who has something that's that sharp. John Smoltz had the best stuff on the Brave staff. It wasn't the best pitcher, but he had the best stuff. But I'm talking about one of those breaking balls that is just a sharp dive. It's one of those where, you know, sometimes you get on the highway and somebody will be in the right lane and all of a sudden they want to go over three lanes to get into the HOV lane. That's what it feels like. It's just that kind of zip breaking ball and nasty and it's down. And those are hard to lay off of because they're meant to look enticing. They're meant to look like, man, that's coming right down Main Street. I am going to hop on. What? Wait, where'd it go? And it's in the dirt. Yeah. Paul, we got to check this kid out for the Mets. He's 20, just turned 24. He was drafted out of Oklahoma State university. He's got 21 strikeouts, four walks. Man. We need to find out how many are swing and miss strikeouts. Checking, because I'm going to guess three fourths of his strikeouts are probably swing and miss. Yes, Todd. Can you call him the ball breaker? Is that safe? Is that not family friendly for. You know, we always like to have little nicknames, players. We can workshop that. I don't think that's terrible, but thanks, Don. Brian in Milwaukee. Hi, Brian. What's on your mind today? Good morning, guys. Just hearing your talk about fall meteorologist here in the Milwaukee area. And as much as I like to back Fritzi, a lot of times, astronomically, fall begins the 21st, September 1st. It's. We're closing the books. June, July, and August here. So there's summer, September, October, November. Thank you. Thank you. I think his signal is falling. Did he agree with us at the beginning of September? I think that it wasn't the. The autumnal equinox, Todd. Yeah, it sounds like he's saying June, July, August, those are your summer months in the beginning of September. September, October, November. That's your. Your fall. So it should be the beginning of September. Yeah, I'm fine with that. Yeah. Football season feels different. Back to school and all that stuff. It's all happening right now. I know. I never had a book bag when I was in grade school, high school. You just made all the nerds carry your books for you? No, I. I never brought any books home. You know, my mom would say, why don't you bring books home, Danny? I go, I did. You know, all the. I'd study. I'd study hall, and I didn't study and study hall. But I don't know when book bags became important or, like, you had to have even a lunchbox. Like, I had a paper bag and. And then I had to bring it home because my mom would say, hey, don't throw it away. I'm gonna use it again tomorrow. I go, okay. You know, it had, like, food stains in it. Didn't matter. My mom would just say, bring it home, Danny. And I go, okay, all right. But I never Had a book bag or a lunchbox? Yes. Todd, not to brag, but my lunchbox had all the AFC helmets on one side, all the NFC on the other. This was before the Seahawks and Buccaneers joined the league, like in 75, 76, and NFL thermos. I thought I was pretty important there in the lunchroom. Yeah, but you grew up with a, you know, a silver spoon in your mouth. I did. I didn't just have the slice of thin slice of bologna. I had. I had the Devil Dogs and the Ring Dings and the Yodels and the Twinkies and the pie sandwich with at least three pieces of meat on my Wonder bread. And what's interesting is you have the same diet now. I do. I absolutely do. I can't argue that at all. Marvin, did you have a. A. A backpack when you were in high school? In high school, yeah. Just a regular black jam sport. But at elementary school, at the ultimate warrior. Book bag. Oh, man. Yep. Okay, Seaton, what about you? Did I have a backpack? Yeah. Or did you have a lunchbox? I. I had a Dukes of Hazard lunchbox at some point. I had a GI Joe lunchbox as well, I think. See? But that. I had a Trapper Keeper one year, and then I really settled into backpack culture for sure. Heavy backpack guy. I think I just started using a backpack the last year. Finally got around to it, and I'm like, damn, where's this been all my life? Matter of fact, I'm still a backpack. Yeah. Yeah. When we go on the road now, you know, I take the backpack. Yeah, it's the best. Yeah, it's pretty good. Paulie as a kid. Evel Knievel, lunchbox, Trapper Keeper. Like Seton in high school, we didn't have the backpacks yet. I was like you. I just didn't bring books home. I hate to admit it, but I just didn't. Well, it wasn't for books. Yeah, I carried one every day, but there weren't any books in it. Right. I used to bring donuts to school and leave them in my locker, and people used to come over and have munchkins. That's all I brought to school. No books, just munchkins. You guys grew up with a silver spoon, man. Thank God I got nothing. Such luxuries. Yes. Hey, that was status back then because I'd walk into the lunchroom, and no one wanted to exchange anything in my lunch bag. No one. Yeah, it was an apple, maybe. Maybe you'd get one of those little pudding things, and then you would get a piece of white bread. And you would get bologna and then a slice of American cheese, and that was it. And then you would get white or chocolate milk. That was every day? Yes. Todd, did anyone ever make fun of you or points like, haha, I got this. They tease you or they pretended. Just you right now? Just me, yes. Thank you. I don't know if they just kind of. Don't look over there and make them feel bad. He's got that little thin piece of baloney. Again with the apple. Don't look. You see? It's terrible. But I would. And I stopped doing this because I was envious. Like, there was lunch envy on my part. And I would just watch people. I go, they got Hostess Ho Hos. Man, that looks good. What. What kind of sandwich do you got there? I don't know. I think it's roast beef, I think. And what kind of. Kind of dessert do you got there? I don't know, It's. I think it's a pumpkin pie or something. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, the. I remember in like, the lunchroom, Carrot Toscano used to bring in a bagel with cream cheese, and it was like she brought in caviar. The way that me and like, these two other dudes fought over it, like, every day because she never ate it. And we'd be like, oh, my gosh, dude, a bagel and cream cheese. It's the best thing. I was embarrassed at lunch. I really was. And then my mom one day says, well, why don't you buy your lunch? And then I go, oh, my God. My God, this is awesome. You get tater tots and a, you know, dry piece of pizza. And man, this is awesome. Like, I was proud to sit down because I got. Look at this. I got tater tots. Yes. Marvin the square piece of pizza. Yes. Yeah. Shepherd's pie on Wednesdays. Yeah. Even the lunch ladies were surprised. We're like, oh, you're getting a hot lunch today. I go, yeah. My mom gave me 250 or whatever it was. Happy birthday. Yeah. All right, let me take a break. It is an anniversary for Todd. We'll have that for you. Coming up. We'll get to phone calls. Chris Fowler in an hour from now. The final appearance on Leak, Lee Corso on college game day. We'll talk to Chris about that. When game day started, there wasn't a lot of fanfare at the mothership. In fact, they were really cautious about would anybody show up when they went on campus. Because you had Chris Fowler, Coach Corso, Kirk Herb street and they didn't know if anybody would show up on campus. Now, now, it's a foregone conclusion. Thousands and thousands will show up. But we'll talk to Chris coming up. Take a break. Back after this.

Hi, I'm Buzz Knight, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast. And join me for an upcoming episode with Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, talking about his new Frank Sinatra music project. Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinon of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like shadow of your smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one. Seth McFarland Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, I'm going to be having dinner with this lovely woman and I, you know, would you come over and say hi? And just so you know, because I feel like if she sees that I know you, it's going to make me look really cool and, you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank, please, I'm in the middle of dinner. Seth MacFarlane on the taking a Walk podcast.

Five years ago today, Todd had the unfortunate moment of going through a drive through and he wanted a an onion bagel with cream cheese. And a local chain store did not have it. And a poor high school girl just caught the brunt of Todd Fritz. We did have a listener who arranged for 13 onion bagels with cream cheese today. Very thoughtful. Yeah, now Todd's nervous because Todd doesn't know if he should have these bagels. I will preface my comments by saying I had a half a bagel from that bag with cream cheese. However, I wanted to make sure I wasn't the first one to have it because, you know, an anonymous person, or maybe not anonymous, they did put a name to it, but still, if someone's sending food, you know, my first reaction, unfortunately, because I grew up in a very neurotic household, is like, how do you know I grew up in the Tylenol cyanide era. You know, someone going to try to kill us all off I don't know where it's coming from. Maybe they're. They're trying to. We think it's a nice gesture, but maybe they're not fans of the show so much. And so, you know, there's some crazy people, sick people in the world. So I was like. I was hesitant to eat it, but I smelled that onion bagel bag, and I'm like, you know, I'll take my chances. But I told Todd, if you're going to die, that's not a bad way to go. Onion bagel, cream cheese, Cream cheese on your nose and on the side of your lip there. You're one of your favorite things. That's. That's how you do it. Yeah. We were gonna bring back a clip, but it's eight minutes long. That Todd just went into this diatribe about how he could not believe that they didn't have onion bagels at this place. And this poor girl in the drive through, and you're berating her. That's what set me up, though she didn't share. You're supposed to at least pretend because the customer's always right. She didn't seem to be that caring of my situation, how passionate I was about, you don't have onion bagels, you don't have tuna fish. You know? Well, I know it's later in the day and you start running out of certain things. How could she care, possibly care as much as you care? They train. Maybe not as much, but they train. You're supposed to train people to, you know, the customer is passionate about something. You know, act like you care. Okay. How much experience do you have in fast food as far as eating it? A lot. As far as working at a fast food place? I have not. You've never done that? I have not. Okay. How would you do? I would do terribly because I don't. I'm not very good with my hands or. No, no, no. If I just went through the. If I just went through the drive through and I asked for something and you didn't have it, and then all of a sudden I'm berating you, I would probably. First I'd feel really bad, and I'd get nervous about the situation because I want to make the customer happy. And then I'd go to the manager, is there any way we can quickly make a couple onion bagels and whip up a batch of tuna fish? This person really wants that. I know we're closing in 15 minutes, but you think there's any way we can help this kid out? He's this guy's. Really? Don't you think they would have made onion bagels if they had onion bagels there? If they had the ingredients? I knew in the back of my mind that at this time of the day, which was like a quarter to two in the afternoon, I think they close it too. You run out of certain bagels. What set me off was they didn't have onion bagels and they didn't have tuna either. I thought at least they'd have one of those. And I was really. I had a craving for tuna on an onion bagel, as weird as that might sound. And they didn't have either. And she seemed like she couldn't get out of there fast enough. She could care less that her shift was ending. And you know, Drive Thru plays next. Okay, that's how I felt at that moment. I was really hungry. I hadn't eaten all day. And she got the wrath of that. Yeah, but. But not eating up until then is your choice. That's not her choice. True, but it made me extra grouchy. Yes, Marvin, I am completely against Fritzi now that I've heard that he wanted these bagels at a quarter to two in the afternoon. Those bagel shops are done at two o' clock in the afternoon. If he said it right before he got here, 6 o', clock, 7 o', clock, 8 o', clock, I'd be with him. But after this. Absolutely not. That is ridiculous. Two o' clock and you're upset that there's no bagels left? Those bagels are done by 11. Then I proceeded to ask for a second or third or fourth choice. They didn't have any of those either. Which definitely made the matter even worse. I'm like, what? I'll tell you what. Why don't you tell me what you do have and we'll go from there. And then it just became like a wise ass. Yeah, see, it's an unfortunate situation when Todd's cravings in the middle of the day are not lining up with the local business hours. Sir, I. I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry. We don't have any onion. Listen, I need to know what you do have. You're closing in like four minutes here, and I'm very hungry. You don't have the Nantucket nectar apple juice either that I like, but that's besides the point. What bagels do you have? And then I'll pick one of those instead of me just rattling off names for you to tell me. No, I'm sorry. We don't have that either. You could have gone inside. That would require me parking and walking the 10 steps into the building. It was a hot day out. I'm not doing that. The air conditioner going, my music on. This is exactly the way that person wanted to end their day. Yes. Imagine. Poor girl. You ever walk into a restaurant like 15 minutes before the closing, Everybody looks at you like, I'm definitely spitting in your food. Definitely go in for last call. Yeah. And then they know that you're there. They're closing in 16 minutes. I'll have a baked Alaska. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? It's gonna take us 45 minutes. Jesus. Happy anniversary, Todd. Thanks. We have a lemon poppy. Who makes that? What is that? This is a donut shop. She was rattling off names. That would be more like a donut. Have you gone back? Of course I've gone back. Because it's convenient and it's near where you live. Did you apologize to this girl? I don't. I think she may have quit. I think whatever. I did a number on her. I never saw. She either did a different shift or she said, I don't think this is for me. I quit. I don't need the job that bad. All right, well, do you want to mention the listener? It was Jeff something. That's how sensitive I am and appreciative I am. I didn't get catch the last name, but I know it's on the piece of paper in the. In the back there on a little receipt. But that was very nice, but didn't say where is from. There was no phone number, just the name of the bagel company and Jeff something. But thank you, Jeff. Dave in Cincinnati. Hi, Dave. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. How you doing, fellas? This is going about the fall solstice thing. I know you're kind of familiar with the area, but every year, local radio station webn, they put on this Rossi fireworks festival thing. It's lessons about 45 minutes. That's called the boom of the fall. But usually when that's over, that signifies a day of fall. Well, that's only in Cincinnati, but the rest of the country. I'm trying to help everybody understand September 1st is the official start of fall. And then we could do December 1 for the start of winter. Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Good morning. Morning. Couple of quick, quick points and then a question for you. First off, yesterday's conversation was about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. I'm sorry they're both. They've got fancy taste. That wedding screams Lake Como, Italy to me. If I were to. Mm. But when it comes to the start of fall, I agree with Paulie. Football equals fall. Fall equals football. And for me, when everybody's playing, and that includes the NFL, I've always thought that that Thursday night really does feel like, okay, we're back in the rhythm, everyone. We know the season, we know the days and whatnot. It feels like fall, particularly whenever the NFL kicks off, because everyone else is up and running at that point, too. High school and college. And that leads me to my question, especially with this kickoff coming up. I did listen to the Dan Patrick Takes a Gam podcast episode last week, and it sounds like you're considering my. My proposal of watching a game with. With one Shea and Irving. So my only question, it's really simple. When's it? When's next year's Amy ceremony, and do I get a plus one? Well, I can't invite you if we just get nominated. So we've been nominated, what, six times? But I don't think this would put us over the top that I'm watching a cowboy game with Shane Irving. But thank you, Lucas, for the suggestion. I'll bring it up to Shay. We're going to do the podcast later on. Today, Dan Patrick takes a gamble. Tom in North Carolina. Hi, Tom. What's on your mind today? Hey, D.P. i got some possible breaking news, but I also wanted to go over the backpack etiquette Marvin had mentioned earlier. You know, he had a Ultimate Warrior backpack in grade school, and you have that with two shoulders. You carry the backpack the way through elementary school with the two shoulders, but maybe about midway through junior high school, you put it over to the one shoulder. Now, the guys that were carrying the two on the two shoulders, they were maybe not as cool or whatever like that, or they had. They still have, you know, some GI Joe or whatever on their. On their backpack. Now, the second. The second breaking news, and I possibly need a second source, possibly poly, the second source on it. But I was informed yesterday that one Bill Belichick and his girlfriend are actually applying for a patent for the name Gold Digger to start her jewelry line. Yep, I saw that. I saw where they had applied for the patent. I don't know if it's true or not, but they applied for the patent. A lot of stories about Bill Belichick and his girlfriend going around. We even need a second and probably third source on some of those. Let's see. Mike in Hollywood. Hi, Mike, what's on your mind today? Morning, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I got a quick story for you and the guy. I just want to get your take on it. Last week, Marvin was talking about wearing a pirate's hat when he's not a Pirates fan. I have a shirt for Wrigley Field. I'm a Dodger fan. Wrigley's hollow ground. It's a historic site. A couple weeks ago, we're taking my son to college in the Midwest, and I'm getting on the plane. You know, you're milling down the aisle. Woman in the seat sees my shirt. She gets all excited and nudges her husband. He looks up and he starts chatting me up about the Cubs. Oh, you know, it's rough right now. You think we stand a chance? You think we're gonna make the playoffs? Oh, we got on the plane, we were losing. What do you think? You think we're gonna win? I did not have the heart, Dan, to tell this guy that I was not a Cubs fan. I don't know what to do. So I. So I just start chatting them up about the Cubs. I'm like, well, you know, PCA looks real good. And, you know, I mean, August is tough on a lot of teams, a lot of injuries, and gosh, I hope we fly the W. You know, I'm fine with that, Mike. I'm fine with that. You know, you're neutral. Play to the home crowd. It's okay, you know? Marvin's got a Montreal Expos hat on today. He'll wear Toronto Blue Jays hat, Pirates hat. He's not a fan of any of those teams. Yes, Marvin. I'm sorry, everyone. I need a shirt that just says, maybe you can make it. I need a shirt that says, I don't like this team. I just like the hat. I lie to people all the time. And the best way to do it is if the bullpen gets it together. You say something about the bullpen, you're there. Jeff Dorali bought the bagels for Fritzi. I just got the information from Weeks. Our cameraman, Jackie. Jeff de rally. Yeah, Jeff de rally. Five year anniversary of the drive thru bagel situation. Tim in Iowa. Hi, Tim. What's on your mind? Morning, D.P. how are we doing today? Great. Good, buddy. Hey, in the world. About what? About isms, a salty Braves fan here. You were talking about that picture for the Mets earlier. But the Braves have Hurst and Waldrop, who's come up and through four games is four. No. With 24 strikeouts. So just a Little bit better than that Mets pitcher. It's all right. That's all I got to say. Hope you all have a great day. Thank you, Tim. I guess that's the east coast bias in me with Nolan McClain. I can only tell you about Nolan McClain because I saw him pitch, and he has struck out 21 batters. Fourteen of the 21 have come by swinging. And, hey, I'm all for pitching. Ohtani went five innings. I'm all for that. That's great. I'm sure that his MVP odds went up even higher when he had this outing there. But we do have a race in the American League. Cal Raleigh, I think, is a slight favorite over Aaron Judge. Now, I do have a problem when it's voter fatigue. And I voted on MVP awards, I voted on Rookie of the Year, I voted on all of that. But we get to the point where. And we've done this. We did this with Joker, did it with Giannis. You know, you get to that, oh, well, they've already won a couple. Or let's say. Let's say you're a news director or your editor says, hey, why don't you go do a feature on Aaron Judge? Well, what's the angle now? I don't know. I mean, he's. He's hitting. He's. He's hitting high average and a lot of home runs, and we've done that one before. All right, well, what about Cal Raleigh? Yeah, the big dumper. Yeah, that's something new, something fresh. It's exciting. Well, I mean, people are human when it. What. What can you say about Aaron Judge? Now, if you said Sports Illustrated, if Sports Illustrated, back when it was Sports Illustrated really meant something, they would have Cal Raleigh on the COVID not Aaron Judge. Now, you would say, New York market, you want that? But Cal Raleigh is a better story. Doesn't mean that he should be the MVP because he's a better story. But I do believe voter fatigue happens. I think you had that with Joker. I think you've had that before with players where. What else can we say about this gun? Yeah, it's just, It's. It's sometimes challenging to get people to look deeper into that same player because Joker is better now than he was. He had his best season, but it felt like there was voter fatigue. Shea Gilgis, Alexander. Hey, let's introduce him to America. Had a wonderful year. They won the NBA title, and he should feel very proud to be able to pull that off. What he did this year, great year. He wasn't a better basketball player or more valuable in my opinion than Joker was. But it was a new story and I'm glad that they did feature him. But we do get, it's just like Joker lost out to Joel Embiid. And I went, this is going to be a crime because Joel Embiid is nowhere near what Joker is. Just not. But it felt like, oh my God, we're gonna give it to Joker again. I, I wasn't voting when Larry won, I think three consecutive MVPs, Bird. But I don't know if there was voter fatigue. I think there was voter fatigue with Jordan. I think that's why Charles won it. They, he had a great year. But the most valuable player in the game was Michael Jordan. Karl Malone won a couple. He wasn't more valuable than, than Jordan. But voter fatigue does play a role. Absolutely. Ohtani. I don't. Even if there's voter fatigue, you'd really have to go out of your way to go. Yeah, you know, I made a strong case for Kyle Schwaber. No, I just want him in the MVP conversation. He's not going to win it. And the same with, you know, Cal Raleigh. Is he better than Aaron Judge? No. But is he more valuable than Aaron Judge? And the Yankees have to make the playoffs. You can make a legitimate case. The catcher, one of the best catchers in the game has hit 50 home runs for a team that's in the playoff hunt. Now you can, you can have a legitimate conversation and you could do a big feature on him. Now that novelty goes away next year if he wins the mvp. And Aaron Judge would probably have a better chance next year if that were the case. But Ohtani, Ohtani is going to continue to win MVPs just because nobody can. You know, this kid McClain, he was at Oklahoma State. He was a two way player. I think they called him the because they're the Cowboys, the Cowboy Otani. And I don't know if he's given any consideration to trying to hit in the major leagues. Somebody's going to do it. One of these days somebody's going to go Ohtani. And say, I want to hit and I want to pitch, but you better be really, really good at one if they're going to let you do the other. Take a break. Play of the Day Next.

Hi, I'm Buzz Knight, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast and join me for an upcoming episode with Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, talking his new Frank Sinatra music project. Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinion of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one. Seth MacFarlane, Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, I'm going to be having with this lovely woman and I, you know, would you come over and say hi? And just so you know, Cause I feel like if she sees that I know you, it's gonna make me look really cool and you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank, please, I'm in the middle of dinner. Seth MacFarlane on the taking a Walk Podcast.

Check out behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved. San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region is been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile. Pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watch watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.

Lionel Messi scores a late goal to help Inner Miami advance to the League cup final. They will face Seattle in the final coming up on Sunday. But that was a meaningless story in the bigger world of soccer. Let's go to our soccer reporter, Seton o'. Connor. I don't know if any of you guys saw the Grimsby Town game. Manchester United only. Only the result. Grimsby Town. I didn't know of a Grimsby Town, but Grimsby Town beat Manchester United. They did, yeah. Grimsby Town is in the fourth tier of English soccer. Okay? As soccer, you know, aficionados like to do. They like to translate this so we novices can understand just how big of an upset this was. Grimsby Town against Manchester United would be akin to. So let's see. How do you do this where it's not super insulting? Like, if it's in a college football sense, who's a team that's really big but is kind of down right now? Like, okay, Florida State or Florida or. They're huge. Manchester United is a global brand. They're one of the biggest, most iconic soccer teams of all time. Okay. Grimsby Town is in the fourth tier. So it would be like Alabama losing to, like, Middlesex Community College. Oh, they're like, that's a little unfair to Grimsby Town. But they're. They're so much further down. Wrexham was in the same league as Grimsby Town two years ago, maybe, and they've been promoted three straight years, so they're, you know, fourth tier. They're pretty far down there. Would it be like the Kansas City Chiefs losing to Akron? Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough because they. It's. It's a tough comparison because we just don't have it set up that way here, you know, like, so if you took a Major League baseball team and they lost to a farm system team, you know, that might be something comparable, but we don't really have sports set up the same way. Is this the greatest upset in professional soccer history? It's definitely one of them, for sure. It's. It's one of the. The. It's one of the biggest. Absolutely. Is this similar to Chaminade beating Virginia? Sure, sure. They, you know, and it's crazy. The thing that made it crazy, too, was that the game was so good. Grimsby Town jumped out to a two nothing lead, two nil. And it was shocking. And then you spend the rest of the time being like, God, can they just hold on? Manchester United tied it in the last, like, five minutes. Of the game, which then sent it to penalties. Penalties sort of went back and forth a little bit. Manchester United had the chance to win it. The Grimsby Town keeper saved it, sent it into the next round. It was. It was pretty good. And this is how it sounded. Courtesy of CBS Sports. Guo hasn't been under that pressure yet, but now he is. He has to score. Remember, listen to the noise from the Grimsby fans Ao off the crossbar. Grimy have beaten Manchester United in the most dramatic circumstances. It is Blundle Park. Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. So Manchester United had a chance to win it with another penalty kick. The Grimy town keeper saved it. And then that one Brian Ando hit it off the crossbar. So they lost. And then after the game, everybody's going crazy. The Grimsby Town keeper is getting interviewed on TV after it. And he said something along the lines of, I'm going to get it wrong a little bit. But he was just like, well, I'm actually. I'm half pissed because I'm a Manchester United fan. So I just sent them packing or whatever. I just sent my own team packing. That's great. That's great. And it was awesome. And Grimsby Town, that's a seaside town. Yeah. All I know about Grimsby Town is I think the Germans drop bombs on Grimsby Town during World War II. For some. For some reason, that's the only thing I know about Grimsby Town. But that's awesome that Manchester United goes to Grimsby Town and you're playing in their facility. You know, they're used to playing in front of, you know, 70,000 or whatever, 100,000. And then here they are in Grimsby town. That seats 10 grand. Yeah. Blundell Park, I think it's called. It seats 9,000. One of the things that they do with these tournaments, this was like the League cup or the Carabao cup, is they have the bigger teams go to the smaller teams, and then the revenue that those smaller teams generate from just these games helps keep them afloat for the whole year because they're. They're so small. And so you. You get these huge teams like Manchester United playing in these tiny venues that look like a shed. You know, it's just. It's these little places. The atmosphere is just spectacular. That's great. That's great. And a great call as well. Courtesy of CBS Sports. All right, one hour in the books. Chris Fowler will join us.
