Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. MLB Playoffs: High Drama and Standout Performances (02:28–05:34)

• Dan opens by reflecting on the heightened tension of the new playoff format, praising the intensity of best-of-three series and the critical nature of winning the first game.
• Highlights:
  • Tigers' Tarek Skubal: 7.2 IP, 14 strikeouts ("might be the best pitcher in baseball").
  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: 7.2 IP, 11 strikeouts, dominates the Yankees.
  • Aroldis Chapman: Still throwing heat at 37.
  • Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: 2 HRs as Dodgers beat the Reds.
  • Cubs' Comeback: Rally to defeat the Padres.
• Dan emphasizes how postseason baseball comes down to the smallest details: "It could be one inning, it could be one at-bat, it could be one mistake." (16:33)

2. Debate: Analytics vs. Gut Instinct (14:32–18:29)

• Dan critiques managers who rely too heavily on analytics, specifically Aaron Boone, who he feels "outmanaged himself" by pulling Max Fried despite him dealing effectively.
  • "I'm watching, and I'm watching with some Yankee fans. I said, he's going to screw this up. And I go, stop, don't, you're going to jinx him. I said, no, he's... I would've stayed with Max Fried." (14:47)
• Seaton and Paulie chime in on the pitfalls of analytics—it's easier to blame data than to take personal responsibility for gut calls that go wrong.
  • "When you can blame analytics, we don't know who analytics is. It gets a lot of blame. Or she. Ladies and gentlemen, Anna Lytics. Hi, Anna. Nice to meet you." – Dan, joking at (18:29)
• Dan recalls Terry Francona: "There were just times that you went with your gut. And I don't think you hear a manager say that much anymore." (17:44)

3. The Septem VP & Septisman Awards: Naming Nonsense (05:17–06:25)

• Playful back-and-forth about what to name their September player accolades: "Septem VP" for MVP, "Septisman" (a la Heisman) for top footballer.
• The crew jokes about the awkwardness of the made-up names, with Seaton and Paulie riffing on different spellings.

4. Overrated Postseason Narratives (06:30–14:25)

• Seaton suggests a poll about what's most overrated in MLB postseason talk: Momentum? Intangibles? "Which team wants it more?"
• Dan, tongue-in-cheek, mocks the idea that history or desire outweighs matchups:
  • "'You know, the Yankees have beaten the Red Sox 459,000 times in the last hundred years.' ... Doesn't mean anything for this game. Except if Babe Ruth comes out of the dugout." (06:55, 07:01)

5. Charlie Sheen Returns: Revisiting a Wild Ride (08:00–14:02)

• Dan announces Charlie Sheen as an upcoming guest, reminisces about wild prior interviews during Sheen’s notorious "winning/tiger blood" phase (2011).
  • "He said, 'Don't do crack. Drink chocolate milk.' That was his big rallying cry." – Dan on Charlie Sheen’s pep talk to UCLA's baseball team (08:11)
  • Paulie and Dan recount behind-the-scenes chaos, with Sheen dodging CBS PR, texting his commitment directly to the show, and the nation's media chasing Dan for comment.
• Dan expresses some ambivalence: "Part of me felt like I was taking advantage of a situation, and maybe I did. I don't know… But Charlie wanted me to come out to his house, and I said, no, no, I can't do that." (12:30)
• The group wonders how much Sheen actually remembers from that manic period, since they're not in his book or documentary.

6. TV Talk: What Are You Watching? (24:15–33:35)

• Dan and the Danettes discuss their current TV binges and viewing habits.
  • Dan on "Black Rabbit" (Netflix): "I'm six episodes in and I'm still not sure if it's a good show... It's good-ish. I don't know if it's great-ish." (27:32)
  • Seaton and Paulie share thoughts on "The Pit" (ER drama), "Severance," and "Blue Lights."
  • Banter about doctors using humor in the ER after Seaton’s critique of "The Pit."
• The conversation meanders into doctor anecdotes, with Dan sharing stories about medical experiences and staff.

7. Calls, Sports Fandom, and Miscellany (35:57–52:36)

• Listeners call in with takes on Charlie Sheen, Dan’s willingness to fulfill fan requests, and a debate on rooting for rival MLB teams after moving cities.
  • Dan’s ruling on being both a Dodgers and Padres fan: "No, no, you can't do that. No. You gotta pick a lane." (39:19)
• Caller shares odd doctor humor received during a family medical crisis, sparking further hospital humor.
• Sports talk returns with MVP prop bets: Josh Allen as the clear favorite, with Jared Goff a distant long shot.

8. Yankees Critique & Little Things in Baseball (51:19–52:36)

• A Yankees fan laments Aaron Boone’s inability to develop fundamentals and the impact of sloppy defense and lack of hustle.
  • Dan agrees on the importance of "the little things" and hustle in October baseball: "It’s the little things. You nonchalant a ball in the gap and all of a sudden the Red Sox took advantage of it. Just hustle plays." (52:36)

And we say good morning to our radio affiliates as well. Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your calls today. 877-3-DP show seat will come up with a poll question for each hour of the program. It's instant tension with the best of three. It was fun to watch yesterday and last night. A lot of drama starting out with the Guardians and the Tigers. And I say it just about every year now, maybe not as much as I used to, but when you got that hammer, when you can bring that guy out and he can go seven innings, man, is that a boost. And you saw that with the Red Sox and you saw that with the Tigers. Tarek Skubal might be the best pitcher in baseball and he went seven and two thirds, had 14 strikeouts. Tigers hold on to win it. Garrett Crochet, he looked great against the Yankees as well. He went seven and two thirds. I think he had 11 strikeouts as well. And they survive. Araldes Chapman comes in. He's 37 years of age and still throwing over 100 miles per hour. But it was fun yesterday. You, you know, winning that first game is so important because it's a best of three. Ohtani homers twice as the Dodgers rough up the Reds. The Cubs come back, beat the Padres. Couple of home runs there as well. But that instant tension is awesome. So a lot of things to recap. Sean Casey from Major League Baseball Network will stop by a little bit later on. Mark Schlerith, a former offensive lineman for the Broncos. He'll join us. He works for Fox Sports. He's grumpy. He's grumpy about overtime. He'll give you his thoughts. Coming up, we'll have the Septem VP and the Septem Heisman. Or is it Sept. Heisman, Septisman, Sept. Heisman and the Sept. Mvp. Yeah. September vp. Yes. And I got to work on that.

[Paulie]

September vp.

[Seaton]

Yeah, it was a Septisman Septism.

[Matt Jones]

You can kind of.

[Seaton]

Septisement.

[Paulie]

Septisman. It kind of flows.

[Dan Patrick]

Not really.

[Paulie]

No. Staccato. You don't. Septisement.

[Dan Patrick]

It's Septisman, Septisman. Yeah. September dp. Yeah, I'm working on it.

[Paulie]

October VP is much tougher to say.

[Dan Patrick]

That's.

[Seaton]

Next one, we'll have MVP just as rolls. So if I'm trying to spell Septice. Septiceman. Is there an H in there or no?

[Paulie]

There is.

[Seaton]

It's S, E, P, T, capital H. Yeah. I, E. Is that how we're doing that?

[Dan Patrick]

E, I, S, M, A, N. Traditionally Septisman, Septisman.

[Seaton]

Okay, got it.

[Dan Patrick]

Not. Not Septisman, but Sep. Right. Heisman.

[Seaton]

Oh, it could be Septisman.

[Dan Patrick]

It could be, but I'm Septem bp. That one. That one works. So we'll have that for you coming up a little bit later on. All right.

[Seaton]

Theisman.

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe it should be SCP8. No.

[Seaton]

Then it could be SepFisman.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, let's not confuse the audience. And not confuse us either. All right, Satan. Poll question for the first hour of the program is when are we diving.

[Seaton]

Into Sept. Mvp Incept Eisman. Is that later? Should I save those for another hour?

[Dan Patrick]

Probably second hour. Okay, Second hour for one and the third hour for the other.

[Seaton]

Okay. I was wondering what is more overrated in baseball postseason club history? Momentum. Intangibles. Intangibles is a big one that you hear a lot or which team wants it more.

[Paulie]

Those are good. Nice and vague.

[Dan Patrick]

That would always fascinated me. You know, they just wanted it more than we do, really. Well, I love the.

[Seaton]

You know, the Yankees have beaten the Red Sox 459,000 times in the last hundred years. Okay. It doesn't mean anything for this game.

[Dan Patrick]

But great if Babe Ruth comes out of the dugout. All right, then, yeah.

[Seaton]

Mickey Mantle walks through.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Okay.

[Seaton]

Now we got something.

[Dan Patrick]

Red Sox have won nine of their last 10 postseason meetings with the Yankees. I don't know how many players have been involved in those 10 postseason meetings, but I do think you have to factor that in as well.

[Todd]

Yes, Tom, Such a thing as organizational momentum. Even if it's totally different players, that team has beaten that team a number of times. Is there something in the air about that?

[Dan Patrick]

I'd like to know who's been the manager and who's been the gm? Maybe the owner. Maybe that factors.

[Todd]

Those are reasonable questions to ask.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd. You're off to a good start today, right?

[Todd]

I don't want to screw it up.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, yesterday you got a C minus.

[Todd]

And you were being very gracious.

[Dan Patrick]

I was.

[Todd]

You were about to go D plus.

[Dan Patrick]

I was going to go D. I wouldn't give you a D plus. D's plus. Todd has a sports center tease. It's been a while. Yes. And back by popular demand. Rhyme time on Friday. Oh, rhyme time.

[Seaton]

You're teasing a rhyme time on Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, I am. Wow. And Charlie Sheen is going to join us.

[Paulie]

Two disasters on one show.

[Todd]

Meet Friday rhyme time. Charlie Sheen. That's Friday for you.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you realize it's been 14 years since I last spoke to Charlie?

[Paulie]

February of 2011, it's.

[Dan Patrick]

It's been almost 14 years. And that's when we were having him on. So Charlie is taking batting practice at ucla, and he. He had just been suspended from two and a half Men, and he gave a speech to the UCLA Bruins. He said, don't do crack. Drink chocolate milk. That was his big rallying cry. And we had his number. And so, you know, I said to Fritzi, I said, reach out to Charlie Sheen. You know, let's just have him on. Talk baseball with him and his, you know, his pep talk for UCLA Bruins. And then all of a sudden, that's when it blew up. That's when he was calling out Two and a half Men, the creator of the show, Chuck Lorre. And then we had winning, and then we had tiger blood. And then he was, I think, over the next seven days on three times. And it was wild. I had. I had networks calling shows, calling my house. They. I was not returning any phone calls. And Entertainment Tonight and, you know, some of these other shows, they were like, we want to have you on to talk about Charlie Sheen. And I go, I don't know Charlie. Well, he seems friendly. Came on your show, and I said, no, I'm not intertwined with Charlie. But it certainly felt that way. I haven't talked to him in 14 years now. I had text him through some things. I never heard back from him. And he's got a book out, the documentary out. So Charlie is going to join us. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

I think Paulie actually set that up. He established some kind of friendship with him or his publicist or I don't know. Charlie called in, but I think. I don't think I had much to do with that first strange appearance by Charlie Sheen. Just to set the record straight.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, well, I told you, reach out to him. And then Paulie goes, I have a number for him. And then maybe that's how that happened. But thank you for.

[Seaton]

That's when I actually said the youth. I said, you. Have you heard of Charlie Sheen? And then you said to them. And then he said to you. And then. Yeah, and then Andrew actually said, mclovin, I have the idea.

[Dan Patrick]

And Marvin wasn't even here, but he was saying in my head, yes, I was there.

[Seaton]

We still have that email, actually in the email box. Marvin Prince.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes, Paulie.

[Paulie]

So Charlie was going to come on the show that Friday, and it was too late in the show when he got our message. And he texted me over the weekend and I thought he committed to go on the show Monday when all this stuff happened. And then he text over the weekend and said everyone at cbs, all the publicists and PR people and agents begged him to not come on the Dan Patrick show on Monday. And I'm like, oh, no, he's going to bail. He's going to bail. And then he text, he goes, I would never let you. And the listeners. And Dan down, he goes, I'll be there. And that started. Everything is very weird.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, it went crazy. But it all started there because he. I remember he said, hey, have Dan ask me where I am. And then I go, hey, Charlie, where are you? And I think he was outside of. He was making it seem like he was outside of CBS and he couldn't get in and he's banging on the door. And then all of a sudden there's winning and then there's tiger blood. And all of a sudden it is going sideways. And I remember getting done with that interview and I said to Paulie, I said, I don't know what we just did. And I think we were all kind of dumbfounded that this is a guy who was getting a hundred million dollars, I think, in syndication. And all of a sudden he wanted to vent on CBS and Two and a Half Men. And then he would work out early in the morning, and if you see the documentary, he was taking some kind of testosterone. He was. He was maniacal at, you know, 4:30 in the morning, west coast time. And he would be watching the show and then he would just text and say, hey, I want to come on. And then Paulie say, hey, Charlie wants to come on. I'M like, oh, my God. And part of me felt. And I talked to my wife about this after. After the second call that Charlie made, and she goes, you know, he's wounded. And you may come off as taking advantage of a wounded animal. And she was right, because Charlie wanted me to come out to his house. And I said, no, no, I can't do that. But he wanted us to do the show out there. And. And so I. There was part of me that felt like I was taking advantage of a situation, and. And maybe I did. I. I don't know. But, you know, Paulie said, hey, he wants to come on the show. He's a newsmaker. He's big boy. He can say whatever he wants to say. My. But then I was offering him a platform to say what he wanted to say. And then I said, reach out to CBS and Chuck Lorre, because I got to show the same respect to him if he wants to come on the show. And he wisely did not call us back, But Charlie is going to be on on Friday. Do you. Okay, here's an honest question, and I don't know the answer. How much of what happened is Charlie aware of 14 years ago with all of this? Because he wrote a book, which I'm. I'm like, how does he remember the stuff to put in a book, given everything that he went through? But I don't know. Does he understand? Because we're not in the book or the documentary. And I thought for sure that first phone call would have been in the documentary. Yeah, Paulie.

[Paulie]

Yeah, I thought we would definitely be in the documentary because we were deeply involved. I would say Charlie remembers a lot of it, because I remember when Seat and I were picking up the phone that next day, the second day, he called, he goes. He goes, this is great.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's.

[Paulie]

Let's stir the pot again. We're stirring the whole nation. And he seemed, like, manic, but also on a mission, and he was aware of what he was doing at the time. We're going to post the original interview on all our social channels so people can hear it before Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right, so Charlie will join us on Friday. And his new book that's out, he also has a documentary as well. What other poll questions we thinking about? Seaton.

[Seaton]

Let's see. Yeah, I'm just putting up there right now. More overrated in MLB postseason club history, Intangibles, which team wanted more or last week's momentum.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Seaton]

Those are all phrases that have been pulled directly from the headlines, which just one of My most favorite things in the world.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I would also put out analytics, because you're going to hear analytics. Well, you know the book. He's got the binder out. Yeah, I'm watching.

[Seaton]

That feels very targeted, actually, that criticism that feels like it's very specifically towards one manager.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm watching and I'm. I, I swear to God, I'm watching and I'm watching with some Yankee fans. I said, he's going to screw this up. And I go, stop, Don't. You're going to jinx him. I said, no, he, he's. I, I would have stayed with Max Freed. So I was on record as saying, okay, he struggled. He's allowed a base runner every inning, at least one, but he is in the like. If you said, you're turning the game over to John Wetland and Mariano Rivera, I'd go get him out of there. But you're not. That bullpen is not good. And all of a sudden I'm going, he's going to outmanage himself again. Here is Aaron Boone after the game. Aaron Maxfreid was dealing tonight. What was the thought process behind taking him out to go to the pen there with nobody on and one out in the seven? They pressured him pretty good in the fourth, fifth, Sixth, you know, had a couple base runners each inning, so I felt like he kind of cruised through the first few, and obviously he ends up pitching great, but I felt like he had to work pretty hard, and I was going to have the six be at the end.

[Ty Hildenbrandt]

But once we got the double, we.

[Dan Patrick]

Finished with the double play. I wanted to go out and get Duran and then felt like we were lined up. I, I understand it, and he's got far more information, data analytics, but there's times when you say, and you say to your pitcher, and Max Free talked about it after the game. He was like, you know, I wanted to stay out there. Now, it's rare when a pitcher says, take me out, but this is. This is tension, this is pressure. This is, we got to win this game. And that guy on the other side is, Is dealing. I mean, he was really dealing. And then you at least have Chapman, who's going to come in, so you know that you got a guy who's going to throw a hundred, who's been in this position before. And the Yankees bullpen, very suspect. If you said, I had a dominating closer, if Trevor Hoffman is there, then I go, okay, we're going to try to survive. You know, certain pitchers, like Tarek Skubal, you have to get him, you know he's going to go seven. But it used to be when you go seven, okay, now you have to get the pitcher in the eighth inning, you have to get whoever that is. If that guy, you know, if it's Randy Johnson or it's Kurt schilling or whoever McClelman's petted, you got to get them after they're out. And if you don't, then you know that guy's going to come in, in the ninth inning and then you don't have any. You're. You're going to be really playing at a, at a decimated level. And you, you saw that with these two teams. You know, the Tigers bullpen did a great job. The Red Sox did a great job. Gotta close the. They're not gonna be a lot of slug fest. You know, the Cubs and the Padres, that was a 3, 1 game. Now you had the Dodgers with four home runs against the Reds. But these games come down to, it could be one inning, it could be one at bat, it could be one mistake. And sometimes analytics doesn't tell you that. It's the feel of the game. And, you know, great managers will tell you that. I had conversations with Terry Francona, and he would say, there were just times that you went with your gut. And I don't think you hear a manager say that much anymore. Because if you go with the analytics, you can blame the analytics. If you go with your gut, I'm going to blame you. It's like, you know, the analytics said, well, okay, where is that analytics guy who is analytics?

[Paulie]

Yes, Paul, but analytics is supposed to remove gut. That's the entire purpose of it, to remove the human emotional element. So you're not supposed to defy it ever. In theory, yeah, but I, I agree with you.

[Dan Patrick]

I'd have a hard time with that. As a manager. There are just certain times when you go, no, this is the right call. I'm going to leave. You know what he talked me into, I'm leaving him in. But when you can blame analytics, we don't know who analytics is. It gets a lot of blame. Or she. Ladies and gentlemen, Anna Lytics. Hi, Anna. Nice to meet you. All right, we'll take a break. We'll settle on a poll question. Just getting started on this Wednesday. And we're back after this in the Dan Patrick Show.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, this is Matt Jones.

[Dan Patrick]

And I'm Drew Franklin.

[Matt Jones]

And this is NFL Cover Zero. We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining. And twice a week that is exactly what you're going to get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game.

[Matt Jones]

What was that?

[Dan Patrick]

Looks like something that should not be sold.

[Matt Jones]

Oh my.

[Dan Patrick]

So that was my other big Colts takeaway.

[Matt Jones]

They sold that?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Might want to go back to the Colts stadium.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well. It's worked for generations.

[Matt Jones]

We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go.

[Dan Patrick]

I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73.

[Matt Jones]

He is a young 73. He is spry.

[Dan Patrick]

I wouldn't fight him.

[Matt Jones]

I would listen to NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jo and Drew Franklin on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ty Hildenbrandt]

I'm Dan. He's Ty.

[Dan Patrick]

Hello.

[Ty Hildenbrandt]

Uh huh.

[Tyler (Ty)]

But fear not, the Solid Verbal will be right there with you through every soul crushing loss and impossible comeback.

[Ty Hildenbrandt]

Join us all season long, all year long, as we ride the roller coaster of this ridiculous sport.

[Nicole Garcia]

It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture.

[Dan Patrick]

It was a huge honor to become.

[Nicole Garcia]

A television writer because it does feel.

[Dan Patrick]

Oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for like hundreds of years.

[Nicole Garcia]

You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Teller Ornelas, who, with Rutherford Falls, became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage, Burn bridges on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Patrick]

December 29, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.

[Narrator]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage. Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm everything changed.

[Dan Patrick]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

[Caller]

Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

[Paulie]

Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.

[Narrator]

In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back in season two. We're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight that's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of Law and Criminal Justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Dan Patrick]

We'll settle on a poll question. Your phone calls are always welcome. I've been watching this show, Black Rabbit, on Netflix. I think I'm six episodes in and I'm still not sure if it's a good show. Jude Law and Jason Bateman are brothers in bar business, and there's a lot of stuff going on with them. And I love Jason Bateman. I don't know Jude Law, but I know kind of his history here, but I don't know. Have you been In a situation like that where you go, I'm just going to watch the whole, you know, series, and there. There's a lot of things going on in it. I just. It's not Ozark, you know, it's not one of those. But it's. It's something that gets you through. It feels like a week or so. Yeah.

[Seaton]

See, I just started. I. A lot of times when the Emmys come out or. Or people win or whatever, they have the Emmy Awards, that's kind of how I gauge my list of, oh, this is the stuff I should be watching. And so I'll go through that and pick out shows that I haven't seen before and start watching them. And I just did that, and it won. The show that I started watching won a bunch of Emmys, and I made it about 25 minutes in before I turned it off, and I was like, this is stupid.

[Dan Patrick]

How.

[Seaton]

I don't understand how I could be so off. If it won all of these awards and it's a great show, how could I not make it through the whole first episode without being like, I hate this?

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't. What's the show that. I think I brought it up, that my wife said, you got to watch this, not.

[Seaton]

Severance.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yes.

[Seaton]

Great show.

[Dan Patrick]

So I watched for 15 minutes, and then that was it. Yeah.

[Seaton]

Oh, my gosh. So good.

[Dan Patrick]

I know. Then my wife goes, how do you turn that off? I go, I don't know, hon. I don't know. Yeah, see?

[Seaton]

So the. Well, I guess I'll just say then. The show I tried to watch last night is called the Pit.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, Paulie loves the Pit.

[Paulie]

Love the Pit.

[Seaton]

Okay, so it's about an emergency room in Pittsburgh, and there is a moment.

[Dan Patrick]

Where.

[Seaton]

Somebody comes in with an emergency, a very serious emergency, where it looks like their leg has been ripped off. And one of the ER doctors burst through the door, and she looks at the woman on the ground and goes, and I thought, my heels hurt. Hey, we're here to take care of you. What doctor in an emergency room would jump in with that kind of a punchy line and say it directly to the person who was probably having their leg amputated and be like, and I thought, my heels hurt. Hey, I'm here to take care of you. I'm Dr. Cindy. I'm gonna take care of you today. Okay, Well, I don't know if. I mean, my leg's about to be cut off, and you're making jokes about your heels. I was just like, this show is stupid, and I Just turned it off. I couldn't deal with that. Just that one line.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Paul.

[Paulie]

I was hesitant about the show because it's a show about ER doctors and the star is Noah Wiley, who was on ER for, like, 15 years. I'm like, they couldn't have found anyone else. Like, it's almost too obvious to put Noah Wiley.

[Seaton]

Like, he couldn't get another role that interests them. Like, he left ER because he wanted to be a movie star. And now the. It comes back to is.

[Paulie]

But he's fantastic in it, and it does get really good. It's about one day in the er. I'll tell you a show. You know, Black Rabbit, the show you like, Dan. It's getting good reviews. Not great reviews, to be fair.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's sort of where I am. It's good ish. I don't know if it's great ish. And. But I've been, you know, I've been holding on. It's like. And, you know, I was trying to watch the morning show because, you know, my ex, Jennifer Aniston is on that with Reese Witherspoon.

[Seaton]

And.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know that Billy Crudup is good. I love Billy Croup's awesome on there. Great, great role for him. I think I. It. They just started season five, and I. I'm watching season maybe three too many.

[Seaton]

Might be three too many.

[Dan Patrick]

First two were really good. Really good. And I got invited to the premiere this year. It was on a Thursday night, and I had to break some hearts, and I had to say, it's a school night. I gotta work the next day and didn't get to go to the premiere. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie, I got a show for you. I think I mentioned this before. They're going into season three. It's out now. It's called Blue Lights. It's a cop show in Northern Ireland. You'll love it. It's good. Really good.

[Dan Patrick]

Be careful. Okay. It's good.

[Paulie]

No, it's a sure thing.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paulie]

Blue Lights.

[Dan Patrick]

Blue Lights. Okay. Yeah, but Black Rabbit, I. I recommended it to my. My wife goes, should I watch? I go, yeah, you know, some eye candy. And she goes, who? I go, jason Bateman. Jude Law. She goes, jude Law's not eye candy. I said, I. I. Okay.

[Seaton]

He used to be take umbrage with that statement.

[Paulie]

I just say it's. It's obvious.

[Dan Patrick]

He used to be. I don't know. The hair's creeping back, back, back, back, back. Jason Bateman looks great. Jason Bateman's like Keanu Reeves. He. He's probably 55, but he looks like he's 40. Yes, Todd, I know it's just a.

[Todd]

TV show and they try to make it look like reality, but what Seton said, that disturbed me, too. If I was watching that and a doctor joked like that about someone's feet, is that our.

[Dan Patrick]

But you don't watch any of these shows.

[Todd]

I don't, but is it possible. My greater question, is it possible that doctors are so desensitized to some of the horrible they. Things throughout their medical career that they may make little jokes, whether it's at the patient who they think is half out of it, or amongst themselves, because it's just like, nothing's that big a deal. That would be very uncomfortable. Like, when you get put out for a surgical experience. What are they saying to each other? Oh, I'm glad I don't have that mangled leg. His intestines are screwed. This is not going to end well.

[Paulie]

I could see doctors using humor to.

[Dan Patrick]

I think humor with each other.

[Paulie]

Yeah. Not in an emergency room situation, but.

[Dan Patrick]

More to the patient. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Like a dermatologist can be witty.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I don't know if you can say too much to the patient. I think to other doctors and nurses, you could go, oh, man, I had this funny line. And they'd be like, what was it, Dr. Tommy? And then he would tell you, and you go, like when you have a.

[Paulie]

Fractured femur, nothing's funny.

[Dan Patrick]

To the person who has the fractured femur. Yes. Hey, tough break. I'm just kidding.

[Seaton]

I know you're in pain. Get some Demerol over here.

[Todd]

It'll make your other leg that much stronger because you'll put all the pressure on the one leg.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm trying to think. I don't know. I. I've had so many doctors cut on me. I don't know. I had one saying, do you want to watch the surgery on your knee live? And I go, no, no. He had a monitor. It was like I was going to watch something about somebody on TV and had a little monitor and he was going to do knee surgery on me. Micro fracture surgery. He goes, do you want to watch it? And I go, no, knock me out. And then I had a nurse after I had my knee replaced, and she. Doctor's assistant. I don't know if she was a doctor's assistant. And she was going to take out the stitches. And she goes, I love doing this.

[Paulie]

That's good though, right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Better than.

[Paulie]

This is my first time. I can't wait.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I know, but it was like, I really love this stuff. What do you. Wait, what are you going to do with my stitches?

[Todd]

Yes, Todd, I think we've talked about this before. You don't watch the blood going into the tube when you're getting, like, just regular lab work. Can you watch any of that at all?

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Todd]

And then sometimes they miss and they blame you. Oh, your vein moved. Do they have different reasons why they didn't get you the first time? Now they got to stab you with the needle a second time.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, your. Your vein moved?

[Todd]

I've been in situations where they didn't do it right the first time. They're taking blood, whether you're getting an IV or they're just taking, you know, just regular metabolic tests, and they screw it up. And they actually. Actually said to me, instead of saying, I'm sorry about that, like, oh, your vein moved. They came up with something about my physiology, them not to get it right the first time.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you know, I. I was going through treatment for a couple of years, and they would always say, oh, you know, you got Kara. She's a good stick. And I go, what's a good stick? Oh, when she puts the needle in, she's really good. And there is a big difference. Like when you get one of those where you go or you go, you know, hey, Kara, I'm not going to look at it, okay? And then she goes, don't worry about it. It'll be done. And there you go, it's done. I'd be like, you're a good stick, Kara. So you do have conversations with them. You know, get rid of sort of that awkward gray area there. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

But if someone in the office is good, someone in the office has to be bad.

[Dan Patrick]

Not as good.

[Paulie]

Not as good.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

You know, no one talks about that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Alrighty. Sorry to get sidetracked there, but Black rabbit. I don't know. Yes, Marvin? When you recommend a TV show to.

[Matt Jones]

Somebody, do you preface it sometimes with.

[Dan Patrick]

I do this with the Wire. Hey, guys, it's a slow burn. Yeah. But then once you get the episode, whatever, then it starts to get really good. Do you do that to people? I mean, I don't know how descriptive I get other than, hey, you might want to try this. It's got this guy, and this is what it's about. I don't know if I. I don't know, say, oh, it's a slow burn, or, you know, take a little. Hey, give it a little bit of time. I mean, sometimes I guess I do that. But for the most part. It's. I'm like, here you go. Maybe you'll like it. Yeah. Sutton.

[Seaton]

Yeah, I definitely do those kind of things. Like, you got to get through like the first three episodes and then it's really good. Yeah, I just started watching. I got two episodes in. Once I turned the pit off, I started watching Tusk.

[Dan Patrick]

Tusk?

[Seaton]

No, sorry, Task. I keep saying Tusk. It's task.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Seaton]

On Apple tv, I think maybe Mark Ruffalo. Mark Ruffalo, Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

He's struggling, but he's gonna make his way through as a character. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Seaton]

He's kind of settled into this role of like disheveled guy who had his heart broken and like, I just have to battle through this. Yeah, similar thing. It's good, though.

[Dan Patrick]

It's very good. But Wasn't he in 13 going on 30?

[Seaton]

I'm not sure what that is.

[Dan Patrick]

He was Jennifer Garner. Yeah. Oh, Jennifer Garner was awesome. You never saw that where she's running a company. But she's. It's kind of like the Women Friday or something like that women's version of Big. But she's. She's great.

[Seaton]

Oh, is it like a tweener movie.

[Dan Patrick]

Between awesome and awesome?

[Seaton]

Oh, wait, it's a movie designed for 16 year old girls.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Oh, Got it right in my wheelhouse. Yes. She's. She's unbelievable. In that movie, a girl who's sick.

[Seaton]

Of social structures in junior high is transformed into a grown up overnight.

[Dan Patrick]

She is gorgeous. In that movie, Mark Ruffalo plays an ex boyfriend. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, did you see all the promos just in the past two days for the new movie, the Smashing Machine with the Rock. It's about an MMA champion named Mark Kerr. I don't know much about it. The promos are nuts. I mean, it's intense.

[Dan Patrick]

He lost a lot of weight. This is one of those, you know, serious role. Like when Sandler does a serious role and then you're like, hey, man, I didn't know. I didn't know I could do.

[Paulie]

Do you think it's like the Wrestler with Mickey Rourke where it's like, whoa, this is heavy. It's Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, and it's directed and written by one of the Safy brothers.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, then it'll be great. Yeah. Because the Safdie brothers did Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler.

[Paulie]

Benny Safdie is a writer and director.

[Dan Patrick]

Who got ripped off, not nominated for an Academy Award. Maybe the Rock will.

[Seaton]

That's a ripoff.

[Dan Patrick]

No, Sandman got ripped off.

[Seaton]

He did get ripped off.

[Dan Patrick]

He was great. He was unbelievable in that role. He was. I'm not just saying it because he's my friend. Chris in Syracuse. Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Thanks, Dan. Hey, just a couple of my favorite memories with Charlie Sheen. One was on the Dan Patrick show when he had those two so called goddesses on, and the other one when he was going through, through his Heidi Fleiss stage. He was real young and he had escorts going to his house. And he was being interviewed by this really attractive woman and she just asked him, she was, charlie, you're successful, you're famous, you're great looking. Why do you pay women to come over to your house? And he just looked at her quizzically and said, I don't pay him to come over. I pay him to leave.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Chris. Yep. Yes, indeed. Tom in North Carolina. Hi, Tom. Once again, Charlie Sheen on Friday's show. Hey, Tom.

[Caller]

Hey, dp. I was calling. I wanted to kind of, you know, give you some kudos about, you know, acquiesce into a lot of these requests. You're doing the Watch Party with Shay. You know, you're supporting Todd Impossible in a possible podcast. You know, as far as some of the die hard fans, you know, kind of a request like, you know, some of these older YouTube videos and stuff like that. We do have shade blurred out. Is there a possibility that could be, you know, unblurred, you know, going forward and how much are you going to, you know, are we going to reveal going into the last years of your retirement? You know, are we going to actually, you know, hear about the bodies being buried, things like that?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know. I had the conversation with my wife recently and she's always the voice of reason, but she said, you know, are you gonna go follow through and be honest on the show in the last couple of weeks? I said, well. And she goes, don't. And I said, well, wait a minute, I didn't even get to answer it. She goes, no, just don't. Just don't. You came in with respect, Leave with respect and be respectful for those people that you may not like, didn't get along with, may have done you wrong, but what, really? And I said, all right, buzzkill. Well, what about the, the other, the rest of the guys, the danettes, are they allowed to. She goes, well, it's still on your show. It's still your. Your name. And I go, all right, well, let's give it some thought. I've got two and a Half years, huh? Why don't you go back to making ice cream? Greg in San Diego. Greg in San Diego. Hi, Greg.

[Caller]

Good morning, Dan and the Den. It's. Thanks for taking my call. First time, long time. Marvin Tall six zero one seventy.

[Dan Patrick]

Man, you're giant.

[Caller]

Thanks, thanks, vp. I appreciate that I am calling. I have a baseball fan problem that I've been dealing with for years. I'm finally reaching out to get some professional guidance from yourself and the Danettes. Backstory is. Grew up in the LA harbor area. Shout out to anybody from San Pedro listening. But grew up a Dodgers fan. 88 World Series, all the Dodgers legends. I've now been living in San Diego for just as long and I find myself also a Padres fan. My question to you that I need some guidance on is can I wear Dodgers hat yesterday like I did? Can I wear a Padres hat today? Can I be fans for rivaling teams in the NL West?

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, you can't do that. No. You got to pick a lane. Just like Todd. Pick a lane. Stay in it. Thank you for the phone call though, Greg. I. I know you moved, but there's a lot of fans who are all over the map who still root for their team. Doug in North Carolina. Hi, Doug. Welcome back.

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. I am not a gambler, but I placed my first ever prop bet and I wanted to get your opinion on it and also give you a vested interest in the out. I put $20 on a 35 to 1 shot and this is how little I know. I thought, oh, if this comes in, I'm going to win $70,000. It turns out I'll only win 700, but if it happens, I will fund another oyster Friday for you guys. You have a vested interest. I put 22 bucks on Jared Golf being the MVP. What do you think?

[Dan Patrick]

Let me see if I've got MVP odds here. I do. Josh Allen, big favorite. Justin Herbert. Patrick Mahomes. Jalen hurts. And then Lamar Jackson. No sign of Jared Goff. Lamar Jackson. And thank you for the phone call, Doug. The oysters he sent were awesome. Lamar Jackson was plus 600 yesterday. Now he's plus 1400. He's going to miss a couple of games. It's really Josh Allen's to lose. It's. It's his to lose. Justin Herbert. I know. Off to a great start, but then you go to New York and you end up losing Mahomes, you know, Here he comes. Jalen hurts. That's a weird offense. It. It. That is a weird. They've been relying on a lot of different things. You know, block kicks, you know, they can go an entire half without completions and then three touchdowns against the Rams and they're four and oh, but they don't feel four. No. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paulie, Jared Goff, it's still a good story. If he could get up to like 40 touchdown passes and low interceptions and they're, you know, 15 and two, he could steal one. He needs help.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, it's Josh Allen's. It's Josh Allen back to back, and you're playing in a bad division, a weak division, although New England's better than what people think. You know, you end up with 14 wins, got home field advantage. I don't know. I think it'd be tough to knock him off. All right, let me take a break. Play of the day is up next.

Oh, my.

[Dan Patrick]

So that was my other big Colts takeaway.

[Matt Jones]

They sold that?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

I might want to go back at the Colt Stadium.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that.

Yeah.

Bregman, his signature Red Sox moment. Insurance in the Bronx. And it is 3:1 Boston. That's courtesy of the Red Sox radio network. Alec Bregman. Alex Bregman went 2 for 4. That was his 100th postseason game of his career. That's your play of the day. Play of the day. Brought to you by Tyro Pickleball shoes. First shoe built for pickleball.

Pickleball.com A couple of phone calls in here. JD in Washington. Hi, JD what's on your mind? Hey.

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. First time, long time. Marvin. Tall six one and 180.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey.

[Caller]

So I do a lot of driving for work. I'm pretty religious about listening to your show every morning. Always been a huge fan of Todd until I found out last week that he camps in the slow lane. Now every time I hear him talk, my skin crawls. And I'm just curious if you have any recommendations on, you know, what I can do to come back from this. I'm stuck behind a slow driver right now. I've been yelling, you know, get out of the way, Todd, for the last five minutes, and I just. I don't. I don't know what to do, man.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, Todd camps in the passing lane.

[Todd]

Yeah. My problem is mainly with someone that's using the left lane as, like, drag racing. They will. They're not looking to pass anybody. They just want to go very fast to get to their destination quick, and they're on my bumper. And again, you still have the option, as dangerous as it is, to go around this person, if you have that much of a problem with him not going fast enough.

[Dan Patrick]

The Passhold T shirt is [e-mail] today is the last day for you to purchase that safe travels there trip in Vegas. Hi, Trip. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, good morning, D.P. thanks for calling me back. Yep. So when my father was. Luckily, he's still alive, so we went to Emory for his cancer, which is pretty serious place when you go there. And his doctor said, don't worry, Mr. Wall, if you're if the cancer doesn't kill you when you get my bill.

[Dan Patrick]

It may kill you. Okay. Yeah, that's probably true as well. You look at that bill. Hey, if the cancer doesn't kill you, the chemo will. A little hospital humor. It's got to be tough. I mean, I. I have such great respect for first responders, for nurses. What happened during COVID and you're just. You're just dealing with things, and I mean, going to work and, you know, it's just there are very, very few feel good stories with something like that. Angela in Oklahoma. Hi, Angela. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Good morning, Dan and Danette. How are you guys?

[Dan Patrick]

Great.

[Caller]

Last time I called in. Good. Last time I called in was when I read the Ode to Oklahoma City.

[Nicole Garcia]

I don't know if you remember that.

[Caller]

But first of all, I have to say you need to watch House of Guinness because we're both Irish. And secondly, Go, Cubbies.

[Dan Patrick]

All righty. Go Cubbies. All right. There you go, Paulie. Go Cubbies. I did watch something. Oh, damn. I watched something last night, and I was just flipping around and I go, this is pretty entertaining. And now I can't remember wasn't that entertaining. Thank you, Marvin. Yes, Paulie.

[Paulie]

House of Guinness is a new historical drama about the Guinness family, and it premiered just a couple days ago.

[Dan Patrick]

It's going to come back to me that I watched something and I was far more entertained. Yes, Marvin. Now it's just a look at judgment. Okay, Zach in Iowa. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Morning, Dan. I got three quick things for you, and I'll try to keep it quick. One, Todd. I used to be somebody that camped in the left lane, except I did not know I was doing it until a friend said something. I acknowledged what I did, and I'm a recovering passel. Number two, Marvin. I'm also six feet tall, but I think it's a regional thing where you feel tall. I used to travel to New York City and Long island, and I had a guy say to me, and he was probably all of 5, 7. He's like, man, you are tall. You gotta be like, what, six' two, six' three. And I really think it's just a perspective thing that everyone wants to feel taller than they are. But the last thing for you, Dan. I'm a diehard Yankees fan, and when I watch eight years of Aaron Boone coaching the way that he does and no development of the things that we do bad and have done bad for eight years, that we still do bad in Terms of the defensive side, Trent Grisham going back to the ball. Lazy guy gets a second base. Aaron Judge, lazy. Getting over to a ball guy gets the second base. And the second time it happened, that ended up being the winning run, where it was like the second run they scored on the single, where if you keep them at first, and I know it's a thing of, well, if this, then maybe this and that. So obviously you could have still scored, but getting the second base is such a big deal.

[Dan Patrick]

But it's, it, it's the little things. You nonchalant. A ball in the gap and all of a sudden the Red Sox took advantage of it. Just hustle plays. Little things. Little things. The wnba. Oh, boy, is this a story. We'll talk to a reporter covering it. And Mark Schlerith has some strong words about overtime in the NFL. Hour two on this Wednesday after this.

[Matt Jones]
