Hour 1 – Fritzy vs. Vegas, David Croft

Summary

The Dan Patrick Show – Hour 1 – Fritzy vs. Vegas, David Croft (November 21, 2025)

Episode Overview

Broadcasting live from Las Vegas, Dan Patrick and the crew kick off a special “Meat Friday” episode from the Fountainbleu Hotel. The team dives deep into the Vegas Grand Prix, their signature irreverent takes on sports headlines, and the comic travails of enjoying (or avoiding) the Las Vegas nightlife. Formula 1 commentator David Croft (“Crofty”) joins to discuss F1’s takeover of the American sports landscape, the allure of Vegas, the behind-the-scenes drama popularized by “Drive to Survive,” and who really deserves credit for F1 team success.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Vegas Vibes: The Crew’s (Mis)Adventures

(Starts ~04:56–08:59)

• Early Morning at the Fountainbleu: The team contrasts their 4am wake-ups with the crowd just coming home from all-night parties, soaked in the unique Vegas energy.
• Elevator Encounters: Fritzy recounts his awkward elevator trip with a group of partying Australians, highlighting the city’s unpredictability and the clash of “morning crew vs. all-nighters.”
• Marv & Paulie’s Observations: Marv shares a tale of witnessing a “light brawl” between two women in the lobby while everyone else was just waking up.
• “Living It Up” Debate: Comical existential debate erupts over what it truly means to “live it up in Vegas”—with Todd (Fritzy) preferring playing with the hotel drapes and electronics over wild nightlife, to the gentle derision of the rest of the crew.

Notable Quote:

• Paulie (08:22): “Todd missed his 20s. He never had a 20s where you make mistakes, you get roughed up, you go to Vegas, you make horrible decisions... He never had those years.”

---

2. NFL & Sports Headlines

(09:14–13:12)

• Texans vs. Bills Recap: The crew discusses the Texans’ stifling defense and Davis Mills’ composed play in their upset win over Buffalo. The win was notable as the Texans sacked Josh Allen 8 times.
• AFC Parity: Dan points out the wide-open AFC, stating that “there’s no team you go, ‘they’re the best team.’ This is why Vegas loves the Ravens and Chiefs still, because nobody’s going to run away with anything.” (09:55)
• The Betting Experience: Paulie shares the unique atmosphere of watching sports in a Vegas sportsbook, where every flag or late-game play brings emotional spikes for gamblers.
• Vegas Line Mystique: The uncanny accuracy of betting lines is debated:
  Marv (18:22): “How do they consistently do that and not make us start wondering a little bit about whether it is not slightly manipulated once in a while?”

---

3. “Technology That Should Exist” Poll Question

(11:03–12:28)

• Elevator Buttons Rant: Fritzy floats the idea that you should be able to “un-press” an elevator button if you hit the wrong floor—quickly morphing into a general conversation about simple innovations missing from modern life.
• Hotel Nightlights: The crew debates best hotel amenities for comfort; Marv is gleefully obsessed with his remote-controlled drapes, comparing himself to “Macaulay Culkin in ‘Home Alone 2’.” (13:16)

---

4. NFL “Must Win” Poll Question & Upcoming Games

(14:32–16:31)

• The crew prepares for later poll questions on the “most must win” NFL games of the weekend. Top matchups: Chiefs at Colts, Eagles at Cowboys.
• Discussion of under-the-radar Browns vs. Raiders matchup and why, despite both teams’ poor records, it draws unusual attention due to the QB storylines and NFL betting culture.

5. F1 Comes to Vegas: David Croft Interview

(25:27–41:38)

Guest: David "Crofty" Croft, Sky Sports Formula One commentator

How F1 Took Over America:

• Croft recounts F1’s disastrous 2005 US Grand Prix and how Liberty Media’s purchase of F1 led to a US relaunch – more races, new tracks (Austin, Miami, then Las Vegas) designed for “glamour” and appeal.
  Croft (25:36): “Since then, Formula One has been right: how do we give back to the American public and actually make this sport a bit more accessible in such a great country?”

Drive to Survive Effect:

• “We used to say: come for the live sport, stay around for the soap opera. Now here’s the soap opera—hang around for the live sport. And the soap opera is often as good as the live sport.” (27:37)

Celebrity Encounters on the Grid:

• Anecdotes from the F1 grid, including Martin Brundle defying instructions not to approach Daniel Craig (“James Bond”)—and how celebs react to last-minute interviews.
• Croft on Brundle’s status: “Martin Brundle is bigger than James Bond. Way more real.” (30:13)

Team vs. Driver: Who Matters Most?

• Croft explains team technology is essential, but drivers’ skills make the difference—“You can have the best driver on the planet, but if you give him a donkey, he’s not going to go and win.” (30:42)

Crofty’s F1 Experiences:

• Driving a real F1 car: “One of the best experiences of my life: how fast I went, 175 down the straight. But these guys do 221 here in Vegas...” (34:08, 34:21)
• On the physical challenge: “It was kind of, like if you’re on a roller coaster at New York, New York ... you just can’t move. But when you get going, you feel free.” (35:09)

F1 in Pop Culture:

• Croft is in the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie, providing 19 hours of voiceovers. Hollywood sought to make the most authentic racing film possible, with Croft and Martin Brundle involved directly.

Meeting Brad Pitt:

• “I went, ‘Hey, Brad, sorry, I’m Crofty, sorry to bother you.’ ‘Hey, Crofty man, how are you doing?’ I’m like, Brad knows who I am! This is great!” (39:29)

On “Who is the Greatest” in F1:

• Croft, a self-proclaimed Chicago Bears fan, says Lewis Hamilton is the best ever, citing both his racetrack records and social conscience:
  “He’s used his platform... That has been brilliant to see—how he’s gone from a young man with an exceptional talent to a more mature man, still with exceptional talent, but with a social conscience…” (37:53, 38:36)
• Verstappen’s greatness also earns praise, but Croft notes the car must be right for the driver to truly shine.

Sequel Pitch:

• Croft proposes the F1 movie sequel should follow Pitt’s character’s daughter breaking into F1—“I’ve already told Joe Kosinski this, so if it comes up, you heard it here first: F2!” (41:02)

---

6. Listener Calls & Reflections on “Living It Up”

(47:44–53:44)

• Callers weigh in on the AFC playoff race, the culture of Vegas, and poke good-natured fun at Fritz’s aversion to nightlife.
• Mike in Hollywood pitches “Todd Fritz, Las Vegas Passhole”, a character who hilariously blocks everyone else from having Vegas fun (48:39–49:18).
• Paulie recounts the Texans’ transformative trade of DeShaun Watson, which brought in multiple promising starters.

---

7. Memorable Moments & Quotes

• Poll Question Silliness:
  Seaton (13:12): “If I was to ask a poll question of ‘Living it up in Vegas means…’ going out and seeing the town or pressing the drapes button in your room, how do we think that poll question is going to fare?”
• Crofty on fandom:
  “You have teams, upwards of a thousand people back at base, designing a car, building a car… Just to make two cars go as fast as they can from A to B. And then the drivers get all the credit at the end of the year.” (33:22)
• Crofty on meeting Brad Pitt:
  “He spun right around, ‘Crofty! How’s it going?’ At which point my son now thinks, yeah, dad knows Brad Pitt!” (40:34)

Fritzi, Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly. The back room guys. And as we get up early in the morning, we're just going to work. And there were some people who were just getting back from wherever they were. So it's an interesting collection there. As you're going to the elevator, you're getting ready to go to work and some people have already done some work and they're coming back home.

[Fritz]

Put in their work already.

[Seaton]

They have put in their work already. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

So we're heading to the set around 4:10am local time and all the people coming in for F1 just got in yesterday and they're living it up last night. So there's a bar just downstairs and we walked by there at 4:10am and there's people and I don't mean like six or 10. There's like 40 or 50 people still going from last night. I got to respect it.

[Seaton]

Well, they probably on a different time zone, you know. Well, yeah, they're probably on a few things, but, you know, that's. That's Vegas. It's festive. It's just our nights usually end at 8, 8 o'. Clock. And there's just getting started probably around midnight or one in the morning. Beautiful people here. Beautiful people. Seaton ran into a few beautiful people in the elevator this morning as well.

[Fritz]

I did. They weren't exactly pleased to see me, but.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Fritz]

Yeah, I did. I ran into some beautiful Australian women in the, uh. In the elevator.

[Seaton]

Now why wouldn't they want to see you?

[Fritz]

Well, you know, it appeared that there had just been an incident slightly earlier.

[Seaton]

Okay.

[Fritz]

And they were like, still reacting to what had just happened, you know. And then I sort of put myself into the middle of it. Hey, you know, just wheeling my bag in here. Hello. They had hit a bunch of the, you know, in the elevator. They had clearly hit a bunch of the wrong floors. And so this one girl kept. When the. When the door opened and dinged for me, she went to get out and her friends were like, not that one. And so she, like, got back in. And then we went to the next floor and it opened up and nobody got on. She went to step out, not that one. And then it came out. And then by the time I got to get out on my floor, which still was not their floor, the girl. I went to step out. The girl went to step out too. And they said, not that one. And she looked at me and went, what the hell, man? I don't know.

[Seaton]

I didn't hit all the buttons, lady.

[Fritz]

I really had no idea.

[Seaton]

Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

Yeah. And Marv and I are walking down this morning. I see a guy holding a beer, waiting for the elevator. But it's like three elevators pass. And he was just standing there with his beer. Looking off into the distance. Marvin saw a brawl, a light brawl.

[Marv]

I don't know if it was light because one, one girl was at the bar. The other one was on the casino floor. And they were about 20ft away from each other. And she was like, get out here. Be out. And I was like, go time.

[Paulie]

It was go time.

[Marv]

And she was ready. She was like, yup. Passed the drink to her friend and they got it on.

[Paulie]

And Dan, the thing is, we're completely sober. We all just took showers. So you see in a very different light.

[Seaton]

Todd, how you feeling? We got rhyme time coming up a little bit later on. Good.

[Marv]

I'm trying to understand. Paul referred to living it up. And maybe it's just I haven't lived that kind of lifestyle and priced out age wise. But what does that entail, the Vegas experience? What would be a few items that would be considered that you lived it up last night?

[Seaton]

Oh, they have clubs. People stay out late, they drink and they dance.

[Marv]

But there are a portion of those people, I think we could all agree, that they think they're supposed to do that. Not. You know. And you try to convince yourself you're having a good time in some loud.

[Fritz]

Okay, here we go. So this is Todd. So let me get this straight, Todd. The people who go to Las Vegas and only stay in their hotel room are doing it right. The people who go out and experience the city are the ones doing it wrong out of some weird forced pressure that you're supposed to go out.

[Paulie]

Great summary.

[Marv]

I think there's a happy medium to that.

[Seaton]

But I think you have not been out of the bill, Todd. You haven't been out of the building.

[Marv]

I have not been out of the building because the fountain blue is so amazing. You don't have to leave the hotel.

[Seaton]

You haven't been out of the room.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm here.

[Marv]

This is considered.

[Paulie]

It's for work.

[Seaton]

That's for work, Todd.

[Marv]

I. I just don't live, I guess, that wild, crazy lifestyle that you guys live.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, I think Seaton summary was right on. Todd thinks what he's doing is perfectly right. Todd missed his 20s. He never had a 20s where you make mistakes, you get roughed up, you go to Vegas and you make horrible decisions, you rack up credit card debt, you know, you. Questionable things happen to you, and then it goes away when you turn 35 or 40. He never had those years.

[Marv]

I didn't go away to college, so I did miss some of that.

[Seaton]

I stayed in your room with your mom.

[Marv]

I did. I lived. I didn't stay in her room, but I grew up in an apartment and that's where I went to school. Okay, Sorry.

[Fritz]

You're supposed to go out and see.

[Marv]

The town you're in.

[Seaton]

I guess.

[Fritz]

I guess I'm the one wrong.

[Seaton]

I don't know. Sorry.

[Fritz]

You're supposed to go out to dinner.

[Seaton]

Why are you making people in Vegas feel guilty that they're having a good time and living it up?

[Marv]

Todd, I just want to know what living it up entails. I'm just.

[Dan Patrick]

I just.

[Marv]

That's a fascinating phrase.

[Paulie]

I think you're you're. You've missed your window there.

[Dan Patrick]

I think I have.

[Seaton]

Alrighty. We're just getting started here once again. I. There's a few left turns here. We did go and watch the, the last couple of minutes of the football game, Texans and the Bills last night. Great ending there, but I think it raises more questions about the Bills. The Texans. The Texans got a great defense and Davis Mills has played really well. They were five and a half point underdogs, but a pass rush in November travels and no matter who the Texans are going to play, that defense is still going to be formidable. And they put, they hit him 12 times, they sacked him eight times. And although the Bills had a chance there at the end, give credit to the Texans because they're 6 and 5 and it feels like everybody in the AFC is in it. I don't think there's any team where you go, they're the best team. This is why Vegas loves the Ravens and the Chiefs still, because nobody's going to run away with anything. Denver has been great with their record, but if you said the Chiefs are going to play the Broncos in the playoffs, people would still have the Chiefs favored in that game. Yeah, Paulie.

[Paulie]

Yeah. And we're watching the Texans downstairs in the sports book last night and it felt like the Bills could steal it. But Davis Mills, he's like, he's not very popular or anything like that, but he's a pretty high end backup. He's had a lot of starts and his, his career stats are pretty good. He just did enough and let the defense took over.

[Seaton]

Alrighty. So the Texans over the Bills. Houston now six and five. Not a great weekend for college football. And the NFL, of course, is king no matter what the weekend is. And you have the Vegas Grand Prix. So the man they call Crofty will join us coming up a little bit. We'll discuss all the things the, you know, the races, the history, everything that he covers here with Grand Prix Formula one. Seaton's poll question today.

[Fritz]

Well, I'm actually formulating a topic right now just based on what we're talking about, but technology that should exist but doesn't. You should be able to get onto an elevator and when you press the wrong button, press it again. And then you don't have to stop at that floor.

[Seaton]

Wow.

[Fritz]

Now there might be a security issue for that. Like if you're stuck, if you're in an elevator and somebody's like, I'm gonna press the button and now you can't get off, that might be the reason it doesn't exist. It's possible, but you usually have to use your key to make a change on there. I feel like you should be able to deselect the button. All right, I'm gonna ask for more examples of technology that should exist that's, like, right there in front of us but doesn't.

[Seaton]

Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

I'll keep this in the hotel realm. Like, you know when you get up in the middle of night and you can see nothing, what if just the minimum of light turned on in your hotel room to guide you to the bathroom? Like a 20% light, it sensed that you got up. I'm sure some places have this, but I've never seen it before.

[Seaton]

They have it here in the fountain blue.

[Paulie]

It recognizes that you got up.

[Seaton]

No, they have a low.

[Fritz]

Yeah, the low setting. And they have the night light in the bathroom. But that.

[Paulie]

See, that's. You know, Fritzi was almost killed a couple years ago.

[Seaton]

That's. That's true. Almost tragically died in a hotel accident.

[Marv]

I love the nightlight, though. That's perfect. And I love the drapes and the. I was playing with those buns. I know. While you guys were out having fancy steak dinners and living it up at the clubs, whatever you were doing. I'm pressing the button and the. The things. The drapes.

[Seaton]

You're not going to let this go, are you?

[Marv]

I like. I'll be saying, I do like all the buns of the drapes opening and closing. We've stayed at a number of hotels on the road that don't have all these cool amenities, and I just got a kick out of pressing those buttons. So I had a nice view of the sphere and the whole strip there. How.

[Seaton]

How old are you?

[Marv]

I'm like 11. Like you, like 9?

[Seaton]

You press the buttons, and I close.

[Marv]

It, and then I actually open it. I took a little video of why the drapes would open and close and open and close. How many chance do you get to stay at a hotel where the drapes open?

[Fritz]

So just in an effort of not letting this go for two seconds as Todd brought it back up again, if I was to ask a poll question of living it up in Vegas means dot, dot, dot, going out and seeing the town or pressing the drapes button in your room, how do we think that poll question is going to fare?

[Marv]

You'd be surprised. I think It'd be like, 27. What?

[Seaton]

Yes.

[Marv]

Marvin Fritzi's like Macaulay Culkin at home alone, too, where he gets into the plaza and starts jumping around and taking the food, eating The M&MS. Fritzi is 11.

[Seaton]

Yeah. Well, how old was Colin McConkin? 11.

[Marv]

What's. What was his name?

[Seaton]

McCockin. Hey, I'm still on meds. I'm still on meds.

[Marv]

So pretty has no excuse then. You're on meds?

[Seaton]

No.

[Fritz]

You know what's funny? Now I can't even remember what his real name is because all I hear is.

[Marv]

Irish fighter from the 1920s.

[Fritz]

Is that the Falkland Island?

[Seaton]

It's Macaulay Culkin.

[Paulie]

Culkin.

[Seaton]

Culkin, Yeah. C U L K A I n or Macaulay McCaukin.

[Fritz]

Kieran Culkin.

[Seaton]

Macaulay McCaughkin. Calling Mike Caulkin. Alrighty.

[Fritz]

Man.

[Seaton]

Todd, I blame you.

[Marv]

That is definitely my fault.

[Seaton]

I blame you.

[Marv]

I sent things off the rails.

[Seaton]

Any other poll questions there?

[Fritz]

Yeah, we're working on a most.

[Seaton]

We gotta clean up our act before Michael Douglas gets here.

[Paulie]

Yes.

[Seaton]

Okay.

[Fritz]

All right. Give it a shot.

[Seaton]

Yeah, we'll give it a shot. Okay. You got another poll question?

[Fritz]

Yeah, I'm working on a most must win NFL game.

[Seaton]

Okay.

[Fritz]

He's ahead a little bit to a segment.

[Seaton]

Okay.

[Fritz]

Yeah. This is a big weekend for Chiefs. Chiefs at Colts. That is a monster game.

[Seaton]

Okay.

[Fritz]

The Eagles at Cowboys. This is a. A massively must win game for the Cowboys.

[Seaton]

Okay. Can you remember. And we should see if there's any research, the most attention attached to a game that featured two teams this late in the season who had four total wins, the Raiders and the Browns. And the attention that that game will get, not only watching it, but the fallout of all of the games this weekend that might get more fallout when it comes to Monday. Yeah, Paulie.

[Paulie]

And Browns at Raiders is in the late window on Sunday, so there's only three other games going when it's a late game.

[Dan Patrick]

It's.

[Seaton]

It is. I thought I saw it yesterday as a one o' clock and I thought.

[Paulie]

I think you may. I think you might be right. I think they may have flexed it down to a better time slot to get more eyeballs. Because when we looked at this a week ago, I thought it was a one o' clock Eastern game, double check. But right now it's a 405 Eastern game and it's going up. Here's what's going up against. Well, it's going up against Eagles, Cowboys, Jaguars, Cardinals, Falcons, Saints. So really only Eagles. Cowboys.

[Seaton]

Yeah. But that's going to dominate. Yes, that'll dominate.

[Paulie]

But people are going to peak if they can if that game.

[Seaton]

Oh, I. I'm Everybody's going to at least sample it. They're going to be curious about Shador Sanders. Now he's getting the first team reps. How he's going to perform against the Raiders. Yes, Marvin.

[Marv]

And the Raiders are Basura. That's trash in Spanish. And if he doesn't play well against them, they're gonna be like, he's not an NFL quarterback. Because this is probably the worst defense in the league, as you saw last week against the Cowboys.

[Seaton]

Yeah, it's a great point, but, you know, I'm curious how well he plays. They're going to give him a. Now, is Dylan Gabriel not healthy? Is that why he's in the protocol? He is. Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

This not. This isn't a start based off performance. It's a start based off the depth chart.

[Seaton]

Okay. All right. All right. So the Texans sacked Josh Allen eight times. That's the most he's been sacked in a single game. And the eight sacks matched a franchise record for the Texans. Also, Kalyn Bullock, the safety, he was great. He forced three turnovers last night. Also, that hook and ladder, that was great. The hook and ladder. You know, they got in a first down. What was that? Fourth and 27. They converted. Had a chance. Yeah, Paul.

[Paulie]

And the very last play of the game, the last offensive play for the Bills, they threw a pass and it was intercepted. And then the flag comes down and we're all set at the sportsbook. And nowhere reacts more than a sports book because it's life or death of the people sitting there. And we thought it was a bailout flag for Josh Allen and went the other way as Opi.

[Seaton]

Well, we're in the sports book and I'm sitting close to Mario and Mario said, you know, I got a bet and I thought he was betting on the game last night. And I said, well, would you bet? And he had somebody giving rider 42 points.

[Paulie]

Checking.

[Seaton]

I don't know who they played, but I, I, you know, I don't like to sit next to people who are gambling because they're squirming. And then all of a sudden you're invested in the outcome. So we're watching the final two minutes of Ryder. Who are they playing? Paulie?

[Paulie]

It was the Ryder Broncos coming in at one and three at the number two in the country, Houston Cougars. That were four. No, the line was 45 points. The final score, 91, 45 Houston. That's a one point cover by your Rider Broncos.

[Seaton]

Yeah, he was celebrating and, you know, like that he had won the Super Bowl. He Said, how much did he win? He goes, $30. I go, don't do that to me. Yes.

[Marv]

So once again, we've talked about this many times. How do they come up with that number for a game like that and get it so exact? It's just impossible.

[Seaton]

It's not impossible they do it.

[Marv]

How do they consistently do that and not make us start wandering and wondering a little bit about how that is not slightly manipulated once in a while?

[Seaton]

Manipulated?

[Marv]

Does that never cross your mind at all? Like a 45 point spread and it ends in a 46 point difference?

[Seaton]

In some business they, they're just doing their job. Well, this, their, their business depends.

[Marv]

I understand. But you can know everything about computers and put in all the formulas and everything. It just seems almost impossible to be that consistent with the points.

[Paulie]

Yes, Paulie, they're looking at home and away. They're looking at scoring per averages per game and they pick the best number where they can get money on both sides of the bet. That's how it works, Todd. They're not fixing the game because they don't have any power to do it.

[Marv]

No, I know it's not fixed, but it's amazing for you come up with a number of 45 points and it ends in a 46 point difference.

[Seaton]

Yeah, but they didn't get the Texans game, right?

[Marv]

No, but all too often yet to have it within a half a point in like weird lacrosse games or something.

[Seaton]

Is like, come on, you are Mr. Vegas. You know that? You are Mr. Vegas. About time someone recognizes nobody lives it up like you live it up.

[Marv]

I had my drinks and my Kit Kats and my snickers from our little snack area brought up to the room. I was good to go.

[Seaton]

How about we take a break here? Take a break. Just getting started here. David Croft, who covers formula one for Sky Sports will join us.

[Marv]

Okay, everyone has to go out all of a sudden.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arnaz, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break Primetime Wide open. I'm Willmer Valderrama and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in.

[Caller]

His story from cleaning canary cages to.

[Fritz]

This night here in New York, it's a long ways.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you on a journey to Desi's life, the moments it has overlapped with mine. How he redefined American television and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like ours on screen. This is the story of how one man's spotlight led the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today.

And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking but aren't because guys.

[Dr. Jesse Mills]

Usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging off or they've broken a bone.

[Marv]

Depends which bone.

[Dr. Jesse Mills]

Well, that's true. Every week we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom.

[Announcer (Ad Read)]

What do you think makes the perfect snack?

[Marv]

Hmm, it's gotta be when I'm really craving it and it's convenient.

[Announcer (Ad Read)]

Could you be more specific?

[Marv]

When it's cravinient. Okay, like a freshly baked cookie made with real butter, available right down the street at am, pm, or a savory breakfast sandwich I can grab in just.

[Dan Patrick]

A second at am, pm. I'm seeing a pattern here.

[Marv]

Well, yeah, we're talking about what I.

[Announcer (Ad Read)]

Crave, which is anything from am, pm.

[Marv]

What more could you want?

[Paulie]

Stop by ampm, where the snacks and.

[Marv]

Drinks are Perfectly craveable and convenient. That's cravingience ampm. Too much good stuff.

[Seaton]

We'll get to more phone calls coming up. We'll update our poll results as well. We're here at the beautiful Fountain Blue Hotel in Las Vegas. Formula One coming up this weekend. David Croft, Sky Sports Formula one commentator, joining us on the program. And Formula One fans in the UK and Ireland can watch this race unfold at Vegas, the Vegas Grand Prix, live on Sky Sports. And now, David, good to see you. Good to see you, too, Crofty, as they like to call you.

[Dan Patrick]

How are you?

[Seaton]

I'm good. I'm good. So explain this, how this exploded in the United States. When and how did Formula one all of a sudden become important in our lives?

[Dan Patrick]

I'll take you back to 2005. June 19, 2005, my birthday, which is why I remember this day. And it was one of the worst days in Formula one history because that was when we raced at Indianapolis with only six cars, if you remember. Load of cars withdrew on the formation lap because the tires, the Michelin tires weren't holding out. And we hit a new low. And since then, Formula One has been right. How do we give back to the American public and actually make this sport a bit more accessible in such a great country? So, first and foremost, Liberty Media, when they got the commercial rights, decided we needed more races in the States and we needed to move away from Indianapolis, which is great. And the Indy 500 is a marvelous event. But let's have another track, and let's have a track that we can really call our own COTA Circuit of the Americas in Austin. I don't know if you guys have ever been to Austin. You look like you've parted in Austin just a couple of times. Not yourself, Dan. You know, you go to bed early.

[Seaton]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

You're in charge, right?

[Seaton]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

So we go and party in Austin, and everyone comes to Austin because it's a. It's a racist track. It's a brilliant circuit. The fans love it. And we pack out and take over Austin for the US Grand Prix. But that's not enough. We need. We need glamour. We need a bit of sex appeal. We go to Miami where all the cool people hang out. Yeah, yeah. Where Marvin hangs out. Right. But not yourself, Dan, because you go to bed early. And then we think, right, okay, that's good. We've got east coast sorted out. We've got Texas sorted out. We probably need another race. And where would you want to go and race in the States if you've already got the best of the best. When you go to Las Vegas, right, where we know you come apart, that's why you're here this weekend.

[Seaton]

I'm not going to bed.

[Dan Patrick]

Don't.

[Seaton]

No, there's too much to say. Me and Pitbull, we're not going to bed. Just letting you know.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Do we all get an invite to that one?

[Seaton]

You got tickets for everyone Friday night.

[Dan Patrick]

Friday night. You and Pitbull.

[Seaton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And me and the boys.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Done.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Before then, of course, we're going qualifying and you see the cars racing down the Strip and it's absolutely amazing. Under the lights in Vegas, the Sphere looks fantastic. The Strip looks all lit up and it just shows off F1 to be the biggest and the best motorsport out there, which I, I, I think it is. Now, coupled with that, we've got Drive to Survive. We've sold the soap opera. You know, we used to say, come for the live sport and stay around for the soap opera. Now here's the soap opera. Hang around for the live sport. And the soap opera is often as good as the live sport.

[Seaton]

But, but that really, I think the drive to survive that feeling of. Because I, I didn't know how much drama there was behind the scenes.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. What?

[Seaton]

Money changing teams, girlfriends, wives. Somebody's a star, somebody's no longer a star.

[Dan Patrick]

You take the most extreme competition and a lot of money and the most competitive people on the planet and you're going to have a soap opera that rivals Days of Our Lives, Dynasty, Dallas. I don't know what other soap operas are around these days, but, you know, it all comes together and it's real as well. And Drive to Survive has brought in a new audience, a younger audience, and one of the reasons I think it's taking off in the States is that now you can see a lot more races in your time zone over here. But now more female fans are coming to the sport, more younger fans are coming to the sport as well. And personally it's been great. I've gone from arriving for Grand Prix in the past in the States when no one has known what F1 is, let alone who we are, to now being called out by the guy at passport control saying, hey, Crofty, how you doing? Which is just fantastic. I love this. And thank you very much to the Dallas customs officers.

[Seaton]

Any, any issues with celebrities when you're working the races?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, issues with celebrities. What do you mean?

[Seaton]

I don't know. Somebody difficult, doesn't want to be talked to. Leave me.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah, all the time. To Be fair. But Martin Brundle, my, my. The man who stands alongside me and who does the most magnificent grid walks, he's the guy that gets rejected by the celebrities, or he bumps into Machine Gun Kelly, who doesn't quite know what day of the week it is, let alone who he's meant to be talking to in that respect, which is a real shame because I'm a big fan of Machine Gun Kelly. Gave Martin a whole load of questions. I think the celebrities that come on the grid, by and large, are very good, to be honest, and they. They give freely of their time to have a chat. Martin was once told, yeah, Daniel Craig, James Bond is on the grid. Don't talk to James Bond. He doesn't want to talk. So Martin, big Martin, went straight up to James Bond and had a chat, and James Bond went, hey, Martin, how you doing? You know, because Martin Brundle is bigger than James Bond. Way more real.

[Seaton]

Really?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, seriously, he knows everybody in this sport.

[Seaton]

Well, if. If I'm Martin, I walk up to Daniel Craig and say, hey, I'm not supposed to talk to you. Yeah, I'm Martin Bruno. Like, that's.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, exactly.

[Seaton]

You're. Oh, seven. I'm 08.

[Dan Patrick]

And they both drove an Aston Martin at that time.

[Seaton]

Is it. How much is the car? How much of it is the driver?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know.

[Seaton]

How much.

[Dan Patrick]

How much is you, Dan, and how much is your team?

[Seaton]

Probably 60, 40, what, in their favor? Yeah. Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

That's very nice. You can see why he's such a good boss. God. Yeah, I like this. I would say you can have the best driver on the planet, but if you give him a donkey, he's not going to go and win. So you need a massive technical team to produce something that allows the drivers to show off their superhuman skills. You're not going to win a Super bowl if you got the best quarterback. You're going to need the best defense to go with it as well. On that subject, come on, the Bears. I am a big Chicago Bears fan, and I just want to say seven for three. Who saw that coming?

[Seaton]

Wait, why are you a Bears fan?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, because I'm old, right?

[Seaton]

Oh, is this the 80s here?

[Dan Patrick]

When I first started watching.

[Seaton]

There we go.

[Dan Patrick]

When I first started watching American football, the fridge was in his prime.

[Marv]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

So Paulie is from Chicago. Yeah, yeah, Paulie's from Chicago.

[Paulie]

Everyone I meet from Great Britain, they watched the bears in the 80s on BBC and then it went away. And so you only really knew the Bears and a few other teams.

[Marv]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And I still only know the Bears and a couple of other teams. Do you know what? I won. This is one of the highlights of my career. We're gonna go off script here. When I got asked to commentate on the super bowl and I had to miss a race when my eldest son was born, and my bosses when I worked for the BBC said, right, if you're going to miss a race, you either take a pay cut or go and do the super bowl instead of a race. I'm like, yeah, I'll do the super bowl, thank you very much. And it was the Miami super bowl. When Prince played the halftime show and when Devin Hester returned the kickoff. Yeah, and I went absolutely ballistic.

[Seaton]

And that was your highlight.

[Dan Patrick]

That was my highlight.

[Seaton]

That was it.

[Dan Patrick]

As Paulie and I remember, it didn't get any better than that. And my co commentator said, yeah, Crofty, that's. That's really good. But we've got four hours of this, mate. You might want to pace yourself a little bit. That was fantastic. Fabulous. But no, you. You have. You have teams, upwards of a thousand people back at base designing a car, building a car, simulating that car, even going so far as to getting bits of tarmac from the tracks and putting it on. On a machine back at base and then running tires on that machine so they can simulate how the interaction between the tire and the tarmac goes to give them a chance when they come to Vegas. That's the level that they go to. They build engines as well. We have the marketing, the commercial. Thousands of people involved in making two cars go as fast as they can from A to B. And then the drivers get all the credit at the end of the year. But some people follow teams, some people follow, you know, drivers. If you follow a team, that team is always going to be there for you. If you follow a driver, they. They can move. You could be a big Mercedes fan and now having to go and buy some Redford Ferrari. You know, if you're. If you want to go and cheer.

[Seaton]

On Lewis Hamilton, he's David Croft. Crofty, Sky Sports Formula one commentator. You know, you look in the cockpit of these cars and I was curious, the heights. I think there's a driver might be five, three. Ollie Berman might be six two.

[Dan Patrick]

Yep. What are you, six three?

[Seaton]

Yeah, I used to be. So I'm. I'm kind of. Ollie. Ollie Berman.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you are. You could just about fit in. Are you. You kind of svelte enough?

[Seaton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

You could do it, Paulie. I think. Yeah, not a bad size Marvin.

[Dr. Jesse Mills]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

What about Fritzi?

[Dan Patrick]

Fritzi, you're with me. Fritzi, you're on the sidelines seating Seaton.

[Fritz]

I think about five' eleven.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. With downforce. With downforce.

[Fritz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

So I, I actually drove three laps once in a Formula one car. One of the best experiences of my life how fast I went. 175 down the straight.

[Seaton]

But what are they going to do here in Vegas?

[Dan Patrick]

Top speed qualifying. 221 miles an hour down the straight and then. But it's the stopping distance that first gets you. So they'll, they'll hit the brakes at 100 meters before the corner at T16 and they will scrub off T21 down to about 70. So 150 miles an hour in 100 meters and you feel that when you're strapped into the cockpit and then your cornering speed as well, where you'll go through a corner like a fast right hander at 180 miles an hour and the car just sticks to the road and it's just phenomenal. It's one of the most glorious experiences. But I remember sitting in the car and they kind of, they strapped me in. They said, right, okay, crafty. Can you just go a bit lower for us? Yeah, okay, go a bit low. Yeah, we need you to go a bit lower, Crofty.

[Seaton]

Okay, go a little bit lower.

[Dan Patrick]

Crofty, we need you to go a little bit lower than that. Guys, I'm going to be singing boy soprano for the rest of my life if I go any lower. Because you've got the belts between, between your legs and stuff and, and it was kind of, it was like if you're on a roller coaster at New York, New York, you know, and you strapped in beforehand and you just can't move. But when, when you get going, you just feel free and you feel part of the car and it's just a phenomenal experience. If you ever get the chance, do say yes.

[Seaton]

The Formula one movie with Brad Pitt, you're in it?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I am. Okay, Typecast.

[Seaton]

Did you.

[Dan Patrick]

The commentator, did you.

[Seaton]

You know, that's a stretch. Did you. Okay, this is where, you know, if we have a football movie or a basketball, you know, we all, we're always going, well, could they really play, you know, like white men can't jump with Wesley Snipes? We're like, I don't know. How did Formula one view the Formula one movie with Brad Pitt?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, Formula one opened the doors and said, right, we'll give you the biggest access, the best access. Come and Make a movie about our sport that sells our sport. It's another factor in the growth of the sport that, that people have seen this and now want to watch it live. And they made as real a Formula one movie as they possibly could with a little bit of Hollywood sprinkled in to that. Martin and myself, we, we did 19 hours of voiceover and commentary for this. And I remember having a chat to Joe Kaczynski, the, the director, who's a fabulous director to work for. Whatever you do is always brilliant. And then he gets you to do it his way.

[Seaton]

That was perfect. Now do it again.

[Dan Patrick]

Exactly.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And. And we'll do it again and again until you do it my way. And you'll still think it's your way. But, but that he just brought the best of out of Martin and myself.

[Seaton]

Did you meet Brad Pitt?

[Dan Patrick]

Eventually, yes. So I went through the whole filming process not meeting Brad Pitt at all and then saw him on the red carpet in New York. Now once New York, Times Square, you know, thousands of fans and all the displays have got the F1 movie around it. I'm still talking to Lewis Hamilton, two boys from Stevenage going, oh, this is just insane.

[Seaton]

So you're from the same hometown as Lewis Hamilton?

[Dan Patrick]

I am the second fastest man from Stevenage and always will be. And this one. And he's eager have that honor because he's the greatest we've ever seen in this sport.

[Seaton]

Lewis Hamilton's greatest driver of all time.

[Dan Patrick]

For me, yeah, he's a seven time world champion. Should be an eight time world champion.

[Seaton]

Abu Dhabi Ver Staben can't catch him in your mind.

[Dan Patrick]

Verstappen could. Verstappen.

[Seaton]

But Is this Jordan versus LeBron?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I think if Max Verstappen has a car that can give him a championship challenge, he is more than good enough to get to seven, eight or nine. You know, he is an exceptional talent. Lewis has gone and done it and.

[Seaton]

So you're blaming the car here. You're not blaming.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. This year Max has driven superbly well and has not always got the results he deserved because the car's just not been there for him. He, he finished, you know, a minute off the pace in Hungary and finished down in eighth. And then Red Bull kind of got their act together a little bit after the summer break and, and he started winning again. By which time, sadly, you know, the, the championship I think is. It's a bit too far away from him. But, but Lewis to me is, is the greatest. Not just for what he's done on the track, but for the way he has used his platform to highlight issues that need highlighting, that we are Formula One, so we compete and we interact as one, and we. We allow everybody from all corners of the globe, whoever they are, race, creed, color, you know, sex, religion, whatever, if you're good enough, come to Formula One. And he has used his platform for that, and that has been brilliant to see how he has gone from a young man with an exceptional talent to a more mature man still with an exceptional talent, but with a social conscience that I'd like to see more of. Our star athletes around the world have, you know, and not just our star athletes, politicians and celebrities as well. You know, we've all got a voice and we should use it for good. But to go back to Brad Pitt, who, by the way, is one of the nicest men on the planet as well, we met up on the red carpet and I've stood with Martin. I said, come on, we're gonna go and get a selfie with Brad Pitt. Why? I said, because I haven't met him yet and you have. He said, he's busy. I said, I don't care. We're in the film. We're movie stars. This is the only chance I'm ever gonna get to do this. So we walked up to Brad and I went, hey, Brad, sorry, I'm Crofty. Sorry to bother you. Hey, crafty man.

[Marv]

How you doing?

[Dan Patrick]

I'm like, brad knows who I am. This is great, man. You legitimize everything we do. I said, well, that's very nice. I have no idea what it means, but it sounds good. And we had a selfie and it was really lovely. Fast forward. And this is the best bit about being in the movie. Fast forward a week. And I'm on the red carpet now at the London premiere. And I took my son, my youngest son, who was 16, he just finished his exams, said, come on, you've done really well. Here's a little prezi. We're going to go to the premiere, okay? So we're on the red carpet. We met Tate McRae, which was really nice. She was ever so sweet, you know, Did a little video for our daughter, who we were going to go and see in concert the next day with to see Saint McCrae. And we saw some actors from the movie. And I said, right, okay, we're going to go in, but do you want to see anyone else? He said, who else can we see? I said, brad's over there. I see Brad if you want. And he's like you don't know Brad Pitt. Of course I know Brad Pitt. I'm in a movie with him. Son, you don't know Brad Pitt.

[Marv]

You've never met.

[Dan Patrick]

I said, right, we're gonna go and see Brad Pitt. He's a mate. I'm thinking, I've met Brad once here. This could go horribly wrong, right? So we walked over and it just finished an interview. And I said, brad, how's it going? And he spun right away. Crafty.

[Marv]

Oh, man.

[Dan Patrick]

What did you think of the film? At which point my son now thinks, yeah, dad knows Brad Pitt. So we have a bit of a chat. So by the way, says my son, this is James. Brad, Brad. James. Ah, Crafty junior. Come on, give us a hug. And so James, my son, is now hugging Brad Pitt, right? And I have got more dad points out of that than anything I've ever done in my career. That, that was just mega.

[Seaton]

So you're all in favor of F1 2?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Well, F2, it should be called F2.

[Seaton]

Oh, okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Does that work?

[Seaton]

I like it. F2.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. The sequel should be. And I've already told Joe Kaczynski this, so if it comes up, you heard it here first or second, it should be fast forward 18 years and Brad and, and Kerry, they've had the relationship. I've had a daughter and the daughter is, is excelling in carts and junior formula and is now ready for Formula one and we'll see, you know, Brad and Kerry's daughter. Go and tackle Formula one and see what happens. That would be my sequel.

[Seaton]

Pleasure to meet you.

[Dan Patrick]

And you, my friend.

[Seaton]

Thank you for stopping by.

[Dan Patrick]

It's been great.

[Seaton]

Don't screw up this weekend. Okay?

[Dan Patrick]

Do you know what I got? So I got hairs on my arms stood up when he said that. Because he meant it, didn't he? Yeah, absolutely meant that.

[Seaton]

I'm Robert Smith and this is Jacob Goldstein. And we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History, about the best ideas and people and businesses in history and some of the worst people, horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines used cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all back. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked, like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arnaz, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama. And yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story.

[Fritz]

From cleaning canary cages to this night here in New York.

[Wilmer Valderrama]

It's a long ways on the podcast, starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you on a journey to Desi's life. The moments it has overlapped with mine.

This is the story of how one Man Spotlight lit the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to Starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama.

[Marv]

And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking but aren't because guys.

[Dr. Jesse Mills]

Usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging.

[Paulie]

Off or they've broken a bone.

[Marv]

Depends which bone.

[Dr. Jesse Mills]

Well, that's true. Every week we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom.

[Marv]

You mean sleep?

Yeah, something like that. Jordan we'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about.

This is the story of the One As a maintenance supervisor at a manufacturing facility, he knows keeping the line up and running is a top priority. That's why he chooses Grainger, because when a drive belt gets damaged, Grainger makes it easy to find the exact specs for the replacement product he needs.

[Dr. Jesse Mills]

Orbit Motion Shakir Allen back to throw.

[Marv]

Allen airing it out. Allen picked up by block. It's over. The Texas are going to do it. The Texans pull it off. They're going to knock off Buffalo tonight.

[Seaton]

That's courtesy of the Texans Radio Network. Kaylin Bullock, who I think is USC Trojan, has nine interceptions since the start of last season, third most in the NFL.

[Caller]

Hey, thank you, Dan. Yeah, two things for you. You know, I'm with Ross Tucker. I think like many NFL fans, I'm so conditioned to thinking no matter what happens in the regular season, the AFC championship game will consist of kc, Buffalo or Baltimore and teams like New England and India. Fool's goal. And this year doesn't feel any different. And off of Sunday's Cowboys, Phillies games, man, with that cowboy offense, especially George Pickens, it feels like all their defense has to do is make maybe four stops in and they're in great shape.

[Seaton]

Yeah, I agree. And you throw Quinn and Williams in there and you know, maybe they can get an average defense. They have an above average offense. They all they need is an average defense and they could make things really competitive the rest of this season. Thank you, Chris. Mike in Hollywood. Hey, Mike, what's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan, what's going on? Hope you're enjoying Vegas.

[Seaton]

Oh, yeah. As only we can, we live it up like nobody else in Vegas.

[Caller]

Well, actually, that's my point. What I'm getting to here is, I mean, you know, I love me some Fritz. You have been listening to the show a long time. I'm workshopping a character today called Todd Fritz, Las Vegas Passhole. So I'm thinking that he, he's figuring out other ways to keep other people from having fun in Las Vegas. He's standing in the doorway of the elevator saying, go around me. He's walking slowly through the casino. He's standing in front of the craft table, won't let you put your bed down. He's standing in front of the slot machine. Ultimately, he gets in his car and sits in front of the taxi stand and won't let anybody leave and go enjoy the city.

[Seaton]

Wow. Okay. That's Todd Fritz Passhole.

[Marv]

I have no interest in interfering with anybody's good time. I was just playing off of living it up because I'm not that type of everyone should enjoy themselves. I wouldn't get.

[Seaton]

Well, it kind of made people feel guilty or you tried to that people were living it up.

[Marv]

No, what my point is, I'm teasing. There's always, there's a certain group of people and I've been there before with friends when I went to clubs when I was in like my twenties where you feel like you're supposed to go certain.

[Seaton]

You didn't go to dance clubs? No, no. I'm gonna throw the flag.

[Marv]

I was home by like midnight. I went to like the early evening and then I got back, you know.

[Seaton]

What was the club you went to?

[Marv]

There was escapes in Merrick, Long Island.

[Paulie]

Merrick, Log Island.

[Marv]

Yeah. That was a big one. You lived in the city?

[Seaton]

You lived in Brooklyn?

[Marv]

We went to Long Island. My friend Jason had this cuisine car with his Benzi box and his little Monte Carlo. And we go check out the Chicago's in Lodi, New Jersey.

[Seaton]

Yeah. Yes. Seaton.

[Fritz]

What is a coogin car Cuisine like, like the Guiller.

[Marv]

You dress up like a Guido in your Shams LeBaron shirt and your puka shells and your, your gold chains and all that. And you act like, you know, you're a tough Italian guy. They were called cousins in Brooklyn.

[Seaton]

Are you allowed to describe people like that? You're not Italian.

[Marv]

I know, but I wanted to be. I aspired. All the girls like the Italian guys, not the new, the Jewish nebuchy guys. You wanted to be the cool Italian guy and hanging out in front of the pizza place?

[Seaton]

Yes, Paul, to be fair, if you.

[Paulie]

See pictures of Fritzi at age 20 to 24 with the. The hair and the chains and the tan, he does look Italian. He could pass.

[Marv]

I wanted to be like them. I aspired to. That's why I started going to the gym. And I'm like, I gotta look like these guys. This is with their hairdos and their weight, with their bodybuilding. All the girls wanted those guys.

[Seaton]

You kind of wanted to be Stallone.

[Marv]

I kind of did, yeah. Stallone that memorized the periodic table of the elements. I had the academics, but I also wanted to be the cool kid too.

[Seaton]

David in Los Angeles. Good morning, David.

[Caller]

Good morning, gentlemen. I wanted to add to yesterday's pantheon of movies which racing and rodeo themes, starting with and I know this is going to date me, the 1966 Picture Grand Prix set against the backdrop of the iconic Monaco Grand Prix, directed by John Frankenheimer. And it was co produced by Michael Douglas's father, Kirk. And it took home a few Oscars. And then there was the 1971 movie Lamont starring Steve McQueen. And he played a great existential character in that one. But Paulie, as far as bull riding goes, I insist you pull up a little known film made in 2017. I think it's a contemporary western called the Rider, directed by Chloe Zhao. And this is absolutely the most authentic film about rodeo riders as was ever made. And it features members of the Lakota Sioux tribe who play actual versions of themselves. This is really an unvarnished glimpse into the way of life of, of writers and it's really riveting. I hope you get a chance to look at it.

[Seaton]

Well, thank you, David. Thank you for those suggestions there. We were talking about great racing movies and surfing movies and, you know, bull riding movies.

[Paulie]

A genre.

[Seaton]

Yeah, of course we got on that topic. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, you know, going back to what you're saying about the Texans and their safety, Kalyn Bullock. Yeah, I went back and looked because I remembered his name. He was part of the DeSean Watson trade. When they traded DeSean Watson, when they dumped DeSean Watson to the Browns, the Texans got three first round picks, two fourth round picks and two third round picks. Among those players, they got back Will Anderson Jr. One of the best pass rushers in the league. Kalin Bullock, one of the best safeties in the league. Tank Dell, a very good wide receiver. He's had injuries, but they got five starters still off that trade.

[Seaton]

Wow. The gift that keeps on giving.

[Paulie]

That's underrated now.

[Seaton]

Yeah, a lot of times we don't follow up with, oh, they got, you know, three first round picks. But then we don't, you know, we kind of move on from what exactly did they. You get rid of Watson and you get all of those players and you get C.J. stroud one hour in the books on this meet Friday. Yes. We have meat on the way here. It'll be early. Early stake. Well, when is too early for steak? We will have Michael Douglas stopping by as well. We'll settle on a poll question as well. It's hour one in the books. Two more to go. Living it up in Las Vegas is only the Dan Patrick Show. Can Fritz C. Seton, Marv Polly, yours truly. Hour two after this.
