Well, yeah, we're talking about what I crave, which is anything from am, pm. What more could you want? Stop by A and PM where the snacks and drinks are perfectly craveable and convenient.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's packed. It's lit. Packed. It is lit. Yes. This is over capacity right now. The fire marshal comes in, we're in trouble. But this, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this crowd is the best we've had this week here in south already. Already the best. Yep, they're already the best. I don't know how we top yesterday, but we're going to try. We have a lot of things in store for you. Beautiful day, sun's out, although they're still talking about rain tomorrow for game time. And I think Notre Dame still favored by nine, nine and a half according to DraftKings.

We have a play of the day poll question stat of the day. All of that forthcoming surprise, surprise. Last night I had no expectations with the Bengals and the Steelers. But don't underestimate Joe Flacco. He throws for three touchdowns. He basically said he was winging it. He'd only had 3 days to consume the playbook and he's out there. And it's nice to be able to wing it when you have Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. But the Steelers, this is one of those games and we talk about this, you look back on the season and you go, what happened there? And this is where it prevents you from home field advantage, maybe in the first round or the second round. And you lose to the Bengals 33, 31. And this is how it ended with the game winning field goal money. Mac is ready. He takes a deep breath, waits for the long snap back to Rico. Rico puts it down. The kick is up. It is good. Yes. And the Bengals have a two point lead with seven seconds left on the clock. That's courtesy of the Bengals radio network money. Mac comes through there and they pick up the win. You know, we look at the Bengals and we go, you know, they're like the jets, they're winless or that's their first win. They got three wins now. So all you're asking Flacco to do is kind of hold serve here, just, you know, keep us in games. Maybe, maybe you get a couple of wins, maybe you get to seven, eight wins, maybe you're on the cusp of making the playoffs, but certainly having those receivers makes you a whole lot more dangerous. And they should be scoring 30 points a game. Yeah, Paulie. And they always, you know, talk about Jamar Chase getting his targets. He got 23 targets last night. Guess what mood he's in today. You know, Joe Flacco knows what he's doing. Go to the guy who's better than anybody and he'll make you look good. Ja' Marr Chase had 16 receptions. That's a franchise record. He's the fourth receiver in NFL history with multiple games of 14 or more catches in a season. Keenan Allen did it twice. Antonio Brown did it once. Reggie Wayne did it once.

Baseball, the Dodgers starting pitching has been unbelievable and now they're up three games to none on Milwaukee. As for the Blue Jays, man, when they win, they win big. They rough up the Mariners and that series tied to two games apiece as they win eight to two. Max Scherzer, I think he's around my age, but he was unbelievable last night. And you know, that's one of those where he hadn't pitched in September or early September. And he's out there and all of a sudden he's in a must win situation. And he didn't want to come out and he battled. It wasn't pretty, but that's what you want. And the fact that he's out there on the mound at his age, I think he's 41. And you start to look at these guys who were 40 years of age. It was, you know, for the. Is 40 the new 30, because you had Flacco and Rogers last night. Scherzer last night, who's 40 or 41, he allowed three hits, two runs over five and two thirds first pitcher in baseball history to start a postseason game for six different Teams, Tigers, Nationals, Dodgers, Mets, Rangers, Blue Jays. And he's the oldest pitcher to start a Postseason game at 41 years, 81 days since Kenny Rogers. That was back in the 06 World Series. Start of the day. Start of the day. We love your day. Start of the day. Oh, Dan, get us. Yes, Paul. When Scherzer walks a guy and then they have that mound meeting, he was borderline unhinged when they came out there. He was telling guys to get the hell off the mound. And. And everyone just retreated like they were physically scared of him. And since they won, it looks great if they somehow lost that game. Like, why would you let a madman continue pitching a baseball game? Do we have John Schneider, Marvin. And talking about when he went to the Mount. He's the manager for the Blue Jays. And Max Scherzer has a blue eye and a brown eye, and so he's going out like David Bowie. I think he had that, too. But he's going out the mound and just going to talk to him. And Scherzer wanted no part of him. Yes, Marvin. He looks like the white version of Debo from the movie Friday. Like, it was just like, what? This is my bike, punk. I mean, a guy you don't want to mess with. Okay, here is John Schneider, the Blue Jays manager. Given that it was your first experience with the Mad Max that we've been hearing about for so long, was it. Was it what you expected? It was awesome. And I thought he was going to kill me. It was great. You know, he locked eyes with me, you know, both colors as I. As I walked out, and it was. It's not fake. That's the thing. It's not fake. You know, he has this Mad Max Persona, but he. He backed it up tonight. So it was, you know, the infielders had a good laugh, too, out there, and he got the job done. That's old school stuff. This is the way it used to be. I'm not coming out. And you convince your manager you're not coming up. By the way, it's a meat Friday. And of course, we brought the Traegers with us. And we have brats, meatballs, reverse seared porterhouse. We also have green beans, skillet, cornbread, whipped potatoes. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. Let me try that with the audience. Who has it better than we do? There you go. I love it. I did see somebody with a passhold T shirt over there. Todd, in honor of you. Fantastic. Yes. We have not let Todd drive in South Bend because we know how he is. He canceled my rental car. He does not let anybody pass. Even people who tried to get a connecting flight when we were connecting in D.C. todd would not pull over in the aisle to let people Terrible pass him. Just let me know next time. I was on this long line at Avis or one of these places, and they're like, no, we don have anything for you because you canceled it without telling me. I'm not going to let you drive. By the way, last night some of the guys went to see some hockey. Notre dame. Is that St. Francis? Is Notre Dame. St. Lawrence. Yeah. I walked in with a couple of the BRGs and it was 2. 2 when we walked in. Three minutes later, it's 5. 2 Irish. Okay. It was a good time. They got a new logo. I think they're unveiling the. The sweaters tonight. They had them last night. The shirts you could get, it's like this raised, bumpy lettering. Irish hockey player guy is very cool. It's like shag carpet. Okay. All right. So they got new hockey jersey sweaters against the same team. Yeah. St. Lawrence back to back. Lawrence back to back. All right. A couple of guys went to the linebacker here in South Bend. Linebacker Lounge. Famous, Famous lounge. It was voted, I guess, the second best campus bar in America. That's pretty good. I'm going to. Well, I was. I think the first time I went to the linebacker was 48 years ago. And nothing's changed in the linebacker. The bathroom hasn't been clean since 40. It's okay. I just. I walked in and they gave me. I don't think it was a 22 ounce beer, which, you know that you got to love a place that gives you a draft beer. 22 ouncer. And I saw some jerseys there. Rick Meyer. Oh, myror. Yeah. Remember when we had him on and Paulie is critiquing him on how he pronounces his name. You know, you say that wrong. Yeah, yeah. You say your name wrong. Right. Say your own name. He says Meyer, and it's Myr Meer. Still working on it. Yeah, I did take a picture. It's his Seattle Seahawk jersey that was hanging in there in the linebacker. But, yeah, we got to press the flesh with some people last night and then called it an early night because every day is the Super Bowl. As we get ready for Notre Dame and usc, Noah Eagle from NBC Sports, he'll be calling the game. He'll join us coming up shortly. Jerome Bettis. We'll talk to him. Mike Golick Sr. Will drop by and maybe he's second, third, first most important person in college football. Pete Babaqua, the Notre Dame athletic director. He took took over for Jack Swarbrick. But when you talk about most important people, you're probably talking about Greg Sankey to start out, and then it might be Pete Bavacqua. And you also have Tony Petiti, who is the Big Ten, you know, commissioner. Yes, Paulie. Yeah, it really is. Those are the three or four people that really stir the drink. And the future of college football is in the hands of the sec, the Big Ten, Notre Dame and a couple other people. Seaton, what's poll question for the first hour of this program? I think we're going to go with how much will the Steelers regret last night's loss? A ton? A little? Not at all. Okay. Feels like this is a season where you have to win the games that you're supposed to win and that was a game they were supposed to win. 5 and 1 sounds a lot better this morning than 4 and 2 to me for some reason. And you lose in the division. Yeah, Lamar Jackson's coming back and I'm, you know, looking at Vegas in Vegas thinks a whole lot of the Ravens somehow salvaging this. The Steelers aren't a big favorite over the Ravens to win that AFC North. And when you think about it, you know, you're six, seven games in. That's it. I mean, there's a lot of time left here. But Joe Flacco last night was impressive and all you got to do is throw it to those two receivers and good things usually happen. All right, so 8773 DP show email address dpanpatrick.com Kurt Signetti, the Indiana head coach, he benefited. You know, timing is everything. So you had James Franklin losing a couple of games. He loses to ucla, loses to Northwestern, Homecoming weekend, you get beat by Oregon and all of a sudden Kirk Signetti beats Oregon. So now he doesn't get this raise right now if James Franklin doesn't lose to Northwestern and you know, lose to ucla. So the timing of that, he gets fired and then all of a sudden it's like, is he going to go to Penn State? And as I said on the show, no, he's not. I think he likes where he is. He's 64 years of age. He's got something. And he signed a eight year, 93 million dollar deal. Now that doesn't mean there's going to be 10 or 15 coaches going to benefit from James Franklin getting fired because they're either going to say they're you know, interested in that job or it's going to get out that they're interested or Penn State's interested in them and then they'll get a raise as well. But Kurt Signetti and I think it's all guaranteed, which is pretty amazing. Eight years, 93 million dollar deal. And now we've set the new market of 11 million dollars or so for a top end head coach. Yes, Todd, should these coaches send thank you cards to Coach Franklin or is that bad form? Just wanted to let you know, thanks for losing to ucla, Northwestern. Now we're all getting super rich because of your incompetence in Happy Valley. How do you think that would go? I don't think it'll go very well at all. Okay. Just be a little tasteless. Yeah. But I think it'll be hilarious at the same time. What if you got fired? But then other bookers in other shows sent me like letters of, you know, thank you, say thank you because now I'm getting, I'm getting paid. I would likely have hurt feelings about. Okay, that's. That wouldn't sit well with me. Thank you, Todd. Yes, Kurt Signetti is going to make $11.6 million a year going forward. He more than doubled his salary five years ago when he was at James Madison, he was making 430 grand a year. That is nuts to go five years. By the way, we're going to look at the most must win game of the weekend because you've got certainly this game. This is an elimination game for Notre Dame. If Notre Dame loses this game, I can't see them being in the playoffs. Usc, you just beat Michigan and if you beat Notre Dame and then you got Oregon coming up. Now you get everybody's attention here. Lsu, Vandy, LSU is an underdog against Vandy. Ole Miss, Georgia, Penn State, Iowa. We were seated with the Heartland Stake people last night in there from Des Moines and they were nervous about Penn State coming to town until James Franklin got fired. Now all of a sudden they're feeling pretty confident that all of a sudden here he comes to town and Penn state is a three point underdog. USC's getting nine and a half. That just seems steep in our gambling podcast. Everybody was taking Notre Dame in that game, but with some trepidation of can they cover nine and a half. Tennessee, Alabama and Utah against byu. And that's Utah minus three and a half though. And then we have some of the NFL games here as well. Raiders getting 11 and a half against the Chiefs, the Commanders and the Cowboys Commanders, they're two and a half point favorites here. The Rams and the Jags. By the way, that'll be in London. And it's a shame that you have those games that they almost like they don't exist or they didn't happen because it's Sunday morning there. But the Jags and Rams is a really good matchup there, and that's tough for a Rams fan. Like, if you're going all the way cross country already with the time difference and then you add, you know, what is it, 6:30am you're going to be playing football. Yeah. Let's see. He. Okay. I shouldn't say who's my must win game of the weekend, but it has to do with the Dolphins and the Browns because this one for Miami, Miami is a two and a half point underdog against Cleveland. If they lose this game, I feel like you really just narrowed down your must win. I did. He said it has to do with. I'm gonna take a guess. Yeah. Yeah. Not leaving us a lot of options. I don't want to reveal it, but it has to do with the Dolphins and the Browns. No hints. How'd you guess? I was a little silly by ages. Yeah. I didn't do well. You know, when I was at SportsCenter, we'd always tease something coming up, and I was really good at that. Not anymore. I go right to the point there. No. Not fooling around. So my most must win game of the weekend would be the Dolphins against the Browns. That's in Cleveland. Right. So, yeah, it has to be. Dolphins are getting two and a half. That one's tricky. That one's really tricky. Todd, you gave me the. The matchups here. You said the Giants are getting seven versus the Giants. The Giants are getting seven versus the Giants. They're playing each other like in a scrimmage. Yeah, I don't know. I thought my Broncos were involved in that game. Yeah. Well, you have the Giants getting seven against the Giants. This. This is coming off the Brady Quinn fiasco of yesterday. Oh, that was. Definitely came from me. Well, Brady Quinn, that was wrong. You had. You had Big noon kickoff in Ann Arbor. I did. And they're actually in Utah. Fox gets very confusing. And Paul came, kind of came to my side. He's like, it's, you know, one's college. The kickoff is one thing. The game is somewhere else. You know, just. You made him. His crew is in one place, but the main game is in another place. You made a mistake. Right. You made a mistake that I don't think I handed to you. But if I'm over to him. Okay, here we would you. Why would you think a Bronco fan would say the Giants are playing the Giants? Why would I say the Broncos are playing the Broncos? That's why I brought it up. It wouldn't make sense to leave. Who are you blaming? I'm blaming whoever handed you that sheet because you got some bad information. It was on my. My desk when I got here. I gave you a bio for the athletic director of Notre Dame. Anything else you have there came from someone else. I never handle the point sprints. I don't want to throw anybody under the bus, but that sounds like a Ray or Dylan type thing. You don't want to. You just did. I would think that would have to be one of those. Similar to how Dan did his most muscle to win game there. Teaser. I teased. Yeah, I don't want to give it up, but it has to do with the Browns and the Dolphins. Okay. Try to figure out. I mean, I guess it could have been me, but I don't know. I would. I would take the Giants +7 over the Giants too, though. I'm not convinced Jackson darts the guy yet. Just say you're sorry. I'm going to say I'm sorry about yesterday's Fox thing. That was a. That was a mistake. This. I don't know where you got that. Let's act professional. We got Noah Eagle. He's a big, big time, you know, broadcaster. He's got Notre Dame. He's doing NBA for NBC. All right. He's wondering why he agreed to do this show. Probably right. I was leaving. I see him leaving in the distance. How about we take a break here? Okay, my starting lineup is Fritzi, Seaton, Poly Marv. Yours truly in the back room. Guys as well. We're back after this. From South Bend, be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio Apple. Paulie Fusco here with Tony Fusco. Yo.

What are you doing? You're interrupting our promo. Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally out of context. Oh, yeah? Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you out and beat you. Let Me put this into context. Shut up. Yeah. Anyway, just listen to the Paulie and Tony Fusco show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Yay. Hey, it's Ed Helms.

You're like, wait, what's stop. What? Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player who still wore knee pads. Yes. It's gonna be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of guests. The great Paul Scheer made me feel good. I'm like, oh, wow, Angela and Jenna, I am so psyched you're here. What was that like for you to soft launch into the show? Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today. I forgot whose podcast we were doing. Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of SNAFU with Ed Helms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up everybody?

Listen to the Traverse podcast from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. The Rich Russians Falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad oligarch season two. Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you because it's easy to just say like, like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walking the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Internet is something we make, not just something that happens to us. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the Tech and Culture podcast. There Are no Girls on the Internet. There are no girls on the Internet is not just about tech. It's about culture and policy and art and expression and how we as humans exist and fit with one another. In our new season, I'm talking to people like Anil Dash, an OG entrepreneur and writer who refuses to be cynical about the Internet. I love tech. You know, I've been a nerd my whole life, but it does have to be for something. Like, it's not just for its own sake. It's a fascinating exploration about the power of the Internet for both good and bad. They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service, therefore we're not trading rice. This season, it's an inspiring story that focuses on people as the core building blocks of the Internet. Platforms exist because of the regular people on them, and I think that's a real important story to keep repeating. I created There Are no Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Listen to There Are no Girls on the Internet. On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Get a couple of phone calls in here, and then we'll talk to Ian Eagle, his son, who was going to be calling the game, and Noah Eagle. I look at him. They're the same guy. It's just a couple of years younger, but I. And Eagle's son, who's following in his footsteps. Noah has done a wonderful job. He'll call the Notre Dame game. He's doing the NBA as well on NBC. Yes, Paul Noah's not quite as snarky as his dad yet. No, not yet. Give him time. Yes, not yet. Give him a little bit of time. I love that his dad is a great broadcaster as well and very snarky. Let's see. Gino in Virginia. Hi, Gino. What's on your mind? I got three quick things that. Is that okay with you guys? Okay, let's go. Let's go, Trojans. And I believe I've only seen one Trojan guy out there in your crowd. I could be wrong. Anyways, how about my Dodgers? Are we going to sweep? I would say that the way your pitching is going, yes. And I would say the USC people probably would be coming in later on tonight. But thank you for the phone call, Gina. I think Will Ferrell's maybe bringing his mom in. Oh, I think she always wanted to go to usc, Notre Dame game and bringing her in tomorrow as well. Turzo and Des Moines. Hey, Turzo. Yo. What's dp? Hey, man, I've been a fan of your guys's show for. Since. Since the jump. To be completely honest with you, watching Marvin's face yesterday, though, when Todd was talking about not moving out of the aisle was priceless. And Todd, I just got to tell you this, man. Just apologize when you're wrong. It's so much easier than putting us all through the ring of. Listen, you go back and forth about this, you're like one of those guys that wants to have a political argument but doesn't want to listen to logic and reason. Just say you're sorry, listen to what everybody else is saying and move forward, bro. It'll be a lot easier for all of us. And DP won't have to cut you off as quick as he always does us. All of us. Yeah. It's very, very sane advice. Are you. And like I usually do, you're gonna ignore it, but it's, you know, it's. It had to be said. And I've absorbed it now, you know, I have to decide what I'm gonna do. No, you did say last night, you. In a. In a quiet moment, you pulled me aside at dinner and you said, you know, I got to get better at admitting I'm wrong. I did do that, yes. And the therapy and the meds, it'll all help. It's all good. Yes. Marvin Fritzi had a quiet moment. Yes. Yeah, it was really loud. Three weeks ago. Or. No, no, no, no. He. He did apologize last night at dinner. You said you got to be better at being told that you did something wrong and. And admitting it. I got to be better at a lot of things. Yes. Including where, you know, big noon kickoff is. You can make a whole list. No, we're not revisiting that. You brought it up earlier, but you made a mistake. I did. I hate making mistakes, and I. The only thing worse than that is admitting that you made a mistake. It appears you like making mistakes sometimes. Oh, you're good. You're good at making mistakes. Now back to our regular schedule. I'll tell you one thing he doesn't need to improve on. That's booking Gif, cuz our next one coming up, Noah Eagle, NBC Sports. Play by play, Big Ten, Saturday night, NBA. He's going to call the USC Notre Dame game as well. He's a busy man. As we make way for Noah Eagle on the program. So Notre Dame and USC, that'll be Saturday. Saturday at 7:30 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock. And then three days later, on the call for the NBA on NBC, Steph Curry and the warriors against Luca and the Lakers. That's a busy schedule there. But you grew up with your dad having a crazy skit. Like, at what point did you realize what your dad did and that he wasn't going to be home like normal dads? I figured he'd be home all the time. He's not home right now? No, no, no. I think. I think he might be doing a game in like boys at this point. If there was a little league game he could do, he would sign up for that. He was gluttonous at times. But no, it was. It was great for me because I think it was just expected and normal that I would be in the living room and pop on the tv and there he was when I was four. I just said, oh yeah, that's, that's just my dad is there. And then the best part was he did have the summers off because he wasn't a baseball guy. He got offered, I actually didn't really know this many years ago he got offered certain baseball packages and he grew up a huge Mets fan in Queens from Forest Hills and his dream was to do the Mets as a kid. That was always what he thought he would do. And so I think he got offered however many Mets games and he went to my, my mom and said, you know, this is the deal. And then I grew up and she goes, ian, I've, I've really put up with a lot in life. This is going to be a no, a hard no at that. The one moment that I have, that we have together is the summertime. And if you're going to take that away, it's going to be a problem. And he's a smart man. He listened. When did you realize this was your calling? Probably about 13 or 14. My dad has a great story that he went to his father who was an actor, stand up comedian, performer, and he had a, he went to at seven, six or six or seven years old and said, I want to be a sportscaster. And his dad said, well, that's what you're going to do. You're going to be a sportscaster. And the problem was he said it with a list. He said, I want to be a sportscaster. And. And his dad said, well, that's what you're going to do, but you got to get rid of your lisp. And he said, what list? You know, so that's, that was a beautiful story because it bred confidence in this young man. I went to my parents about the same age and you know, they said, oh, what do you want to do? And most kids it's cowboy, astronaut, something fun. I said, I want to be a TV dentist. And instead of them saying, well, that's what you're going to do, it was, what is wrong with our child? What is a TV dentist? Can we get them checked out? So for me it was, it took a little bit longer, I'd say 13 or 14. What is a TV dentist? I think Dr. Phil Phil is probably the intersection I was thinking of now on TikTok or Instagram Reels. That exists, I'm sure somewhere. But, but for whatever reason I thought people would want to sit at home on a Wednesday at 1:15 and watch a crown get installed. That does not exist. Or at least not, not yet. I Should say. But for me, 13 or 14 years old, I'd gone with my dad to enough games at that point and been around him and gotten to meet some amazing people around him that I said, well, this is pretty cool. And, you know, I wasn't going to be the tallest of people. As you could see, I'm pretty vertically challenged. So this was the next best bet for me to stay involved in sports. I made the mistake of calling you I an Eagle. Yeah, like you look exactly like your dad. The crazy thing is I'm adopted, so that's, that's shocking that it just worked out that way. It's like when dogs turn morph into the people that, that bring them into the house. No, I. Yeah, it's definitely one. We sound very similar, look very similar. I'm about two inches taller, so. Wow. Yeah, we go back to back on a daily basis. I post them up in the driveway and, you know, there's the similarity aspect. The one good thing though is I'm glad at least you said I in. There are people that come up to me and they say, ian, Ian, I love you on the nets. Mike, thank you so much. You know, if you, if you mess it up twice, that's a deeper problem. How do you capture a moment when, as a play by play guy, you're going to walk into this stadium Saturday, the Olympics, Lakers, Golden State, next week. But you got to capture it too. But you can't try to overshadow it. So it's kind of a delicate tightrope walk. How do you do it? Or what's your approach? Tightrope is probably the right term. I like to say it's a constant dance as well, of feeling. And someone asked me this, we did the Whiteout game a couple weeks ago, about a month ago now, which is crazy. And going into that game, you know, the environment is going to be amazing. The crowd is going to be a sea of white. It's going to be deafening noise. I don't think I've ever heard a stadium that loud. And this one right here gets real loud. And so that says something. And so you don't want to take away from that because you're trying to find the perfect words or you're trying to make sure that you leave a stamp on it. A lot of times it's going to do that for you. And so I know a game like this with so much rich history and tradition and star players and star coaches on either sideline and a lot of the pictures are going to tell that story. And the worst thing I can do is try to jump all over it. But I think you want to make sure that you have a period that ends every call. And that was something that was really drilled into my head, is you need to finish with an exclamation of some kind, some, some level of punctuation to at least just give that sound bite, at least that, give that moment some more levity than maybe it would have had before. But that, that is, to your point, it's tightrope. It's not something that you can go in there and plan. I don't think I've ever necessarily sat down and said, if this happens. I'm gonna say this because the game always dictates how you're gonna feel when it's all said and done. But you start to look at these moments that you have, and I'm wondering when you're growing up and you're listening to your father, and it may sounds sound crazy to say this, but did you pattern yourself after your dad or did you have, have somebody else that you wanted to broadcast? Like, it's a great question. And I'd say naturally, just because I was, you know, eating chicken parm next to my father on a regular basis, naturally you gain a lot of that stuff. And, and what? I mean, it's more than just sitting and watching him call a game. A lot of it it was being around him at the dinner table, being around him, interacting with his crew, that influenced me a lot more than how I broadcast. And the thing he always really made sure that I understood is the best broadcasters aren't just the best X's and O's, so to speak of play by play, it's the most well rounded people. What do you know outside of the sports you're covering? Television, movies, music, arts, history, current events, all of that stuff is important. And so making sure that you blend all of that I thought was key. But there were certainly broadcasters that influenced me. I thought Mike Tirico, my colleague at NBC, the most versatile broadcaster in the business, someone who could be an elite host and an elite play by play guy, I thought that was incredible. I said, okay, how do you, how do you emulate this? Bob Costas, the eloquence that he brought to every broadcast was special. Mike Breen, you talk about elevating moments. In the biggest moments, if you hear bang, you know, it was a huge deal, A double bang now is even bigger and you go down and on and on. You know, the Dave Pashes, who I think don't get enough, enough credit. Dave Pash, I think, is just one of the best broadcasters in the business. And now even the younger Adam Amin, Jason Benetti, guys like that who are just so solid. So you take bits and pieces from all of them. But to even go back to your previous question, you know, my dad, I, I just. The calls that stick out to me are not the ones of the biggest moments. They're the Antonio Brown kicking the punter and, and him just being on top of kicks a man. You want, you want those, those are the ones that always, you know, and obviously I grew up in New Jersey watching all of the Nets games and so there are just random Nets moments of Jerry Seinfeld sitting courtside and Joe Johnson hitting a game winner in double overtime. And him being ready with that was real and that was spectacular. That's what I like, you know, so, so that's the stuff that influenced me more than anything else. We're talking to Noah Eagle. He'll be on the call with Todd Blacklidge. It'll be tomorrow night and rain in the forecast. Notre Dame, usc. Do you care about the conditions when you broadcast? Well, if you're asking if I physically care, not necessarily because I know my hair is protected in the booth. That's the key. I worked hard on it this morning, so that's always the key. But I care in the sense that I want the game to be at the highest quality. And sometimes, look, you can make the argument that that's real football, right. Of how do you deal with the elements? How does a quarterback deal with a wet football? All of that stuff matters. And so it does factor into the story of the game, but you want it to be at the highest quality, highest level. When we did, and I apologize for bringing this up for Notre Dame fans, when we did the A and M game earlier this year, it was picture perfect in terms of the forecast, in terms of the offensive execution on either side. And so you want a lot of those highlights as a play by play guy, but at the same time you want a great game. And sometimes the ugliest games turn into to the all time games. It's always weird when, and I don't know how you take this, but when you hear a play by play guy and they give you credit for not saying anything, sure. Like you, you did a great job. You laid out, you let the natural sound come through, which sounds kind of counterintuitive to what a play by play guy does. But hey, I did a great job. I didn't say a word Like Chris Berman doing the Cal Ripken game when he broke Lou Gehrig's all time record. I think Chris didn't say anything for 15 minutes. You did a great job on that game. Yeah. You didn't say a word for 15 minutes. It just sounds weird. Yeah. But it goes back to what you asked earlier about finding that balance between when's the right time to say the right thing and when's the right time to say nothing. And honestly, the one guy I forgot to mention who, who really has influenced me a lot is Joe Buck, who I think early in his career got a lot of flack for probably laying out almost too much. And he would admit that, that. But now he's found, in my opinion, the perfect balance. And the reason that people say all the time it sounds like a big game when Joe Buck is on it is because of exactly what you just said. It's very minimalist. He's going to give you exactly what you need but nothing more. And then he's going to allow the crowd and the photos and the sound, the cacophony of noise to do the rest of the talking for him. I think that is powerful, incredibly powerful. Because if you, if you really think back to all the great moments of your childhood, of sports fandom, of just sports history, a lot of it is exactly that. Where broadcaster will, will punch it with one or two lines. The rest of it just, you feel like you were there. And that's what the goal of watching sports is. At the end of the day, we think that these stadiums, they are all heated and they're covered and you don't have to worry about the elements. But you did an army game at Yankee Stadium and your partner, Todd Blackledge, who did play professional quarterback. Yeah, it was an open air broadcast. Yes. Booth. And here's a guy who played professional football, but he seemed to be kind of wimpy in the, in the booth there. I'm not going to say that Todd looked like Tom Coughlin purple face, but he was on the road to purple face. You know, that's how you know it was. It was cold out that day. Look, we, I think we've gone Charmin Ultrasoft in the booth because we just expect the conditions to be very tame. Even cold weather games. Look, you keep the window open and you feel it, but you're covered. You're not dealing with over wind in both directions. And that was different. That was definitely a unique experience. The dead of winter, really, I guess, beginning of winter, towards the end of November and it was cold, Cold. I think you guys were around so you could probably remember it was what, 7, 8, 9, 10 degrees? And we were out for the entire game. And I think the reason that it was probably a little worse was because Notre Dame pummeled Army. If it's a close game and it's cold, you go, okay, the adrenaline's pumping. Once it becomes a 30 or 40 point game, it feels a little bit different. And that was certainly that. But yeah, he was, he was not doing well. I think he turned to me a couple times during breaks and said, said, why are we out here? Exactly what's going on right now? Great, great to see you. You too. Appreciate it. He is Noah Eagle. He'll be on the call tomorrow night, 7:30 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, and then you got the NBA on NBC. And it'll be Steph Curry and the warriors with Luca Lakers as well. Thanks for joining us. We'll come back. We have our play of the day right after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, the window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicion. Suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about explor human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you because it's easy to say like. Like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving. Meditating, you know, takes effort.

It's a fascinating exploration about the power of the Internet for both you of good and bad. They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service, therefore we're not trading rice this season.

Yes, Paul, could Joe Burrow be a two time comeback player of the year winner? Yes, because he won it in 2023 with the Browns. Not that you want to win it a couple of times. Joe Burrow has two and I think Chad Pennington has two. The luminaries. Yeah, but Joe Flacco just came back from being at home sitting on the couch. He didn't. Didn't get injured. Right. He didn't overcome adversity. He overcame a baralounger. Yes, Marvin. He beat a guy that died on the field. Yeah. Demar Hamlin died. Yep. But he didn't come off the couch. I still don't understand. A guy died twice, came back to life, but didn't win the comeback player of the Year. But who played better? Joe Flacco played better, but demar Hamlin beat death. Like, you want to talk about an opponent? It. Like Joe Flacco. Okay. Maybe beat the Steelers. Demar Hamlin beat Death. Death was undefeated up in that. It was. Yeah, it was. I. Well, no, there's one person. Oh, J.C. yeah. Big man came back to life, but he didn't hit anybody the next year on the special teams. He did not. He did not. Did not. I. I checked. He was on the special teams. Yes. Yes. He was captain, special team. You want to update the poll results there? I do. Can we say that here, in the shadow of Touchdown Jesus, we're blasphemy. Miss? Yes? We got to go to confession. Yes. Good. Great. Okay. When's the last time you went to confession? Honestly? Six months ago. Wow. Yeah. What you need to get off your chest? I had a backlog of material. I was in there for 45 minutes. It was like a soliloquy. When. When you can hear paper rough. Rough rustling. When you're going, page two, the preacher gone, that's all you got. Seaton, when's last time you went to confession? Maybe in high school. Okay, Maybe. Yeah. It's probably been 50 years for me. Yeah. This is. I mean, there's got to be one within 100 yards of us. Several, likely. Yeah. I could get a priest over here before the end of this. But you know what? It's. It's like when you go to the doctor, and then the doctor, you don't tell him. Him everything, because he'll say, how you feeling? You'll say, great, even though you know that you need something. Todd, you do this, though. Oh, I told. I do 5Ks. And I was just eating, like, kale salad, and I'm just jogging and doing all kinds of stuff. But you. You don't tell the priest everything, nor do I think you go in there and give them your exercise habits and dietary needs. Like, yeah, being Jewish, I haven't been to confessional in a while either. You don't go in there and be like, you know, I'm keeping myself in pretty good shape. I could be Better with the amount of money. Barbecue. I'm eating. But why has it been 50 years? You. You've done nothing to confess to or you just. You were shy, you know, just want to keep it judging. Judging. Why do you think it's been so long since you've been to. Well, I don't know. You were just judging me there, not judging you. But at that half a century of not having a little chat in the room there with a booth, whatever, however it works. I have it with a little door, right? There's like a little door thing. There is a little. Yeah, there's like a perforated. Are you anonymous? Do they know who you are? They can tell your. They can tell with my voice. Yes. That's why I try to disguise it when I'm in there. Forgive me for my life. Dan Patrick. What did you do wrong? Bad interview. What happened? Yes, Marvin, Is there a Jewish version of confession? I think it's life, isn't it, that you just. You live with that. Yeah, you're just neurotic and worried all the time. You go to the rabbi and he gives you generic answers that don't really fulfill the needs of what you're looking for. When is the last time you talked to your rabbi? About a very long time. Okay. I think the last time was when I think I was fasting for Yom Kippur. Why didn't you go, huh? Are you too shy? Get off your chest. Judge not, you shall not be judged. Yeah, I don't think the rabbi would understand some of my deep rooted issues. So I just figured, you know, I'm gonna waste my time. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome. They were telling me to go see like a therapist, something like that. The rabbis, these, you know, these religious figures, they don't. You can't sit down on a couch or anything like that at the synagogue of the church. They tell you to go get. See. Would you obtain. Update the poll results, please. When is the last time you were at confession? How much will the Steelers regret last night's loss? Right now, 62% of the audience say a ton. Only 5% have it as not at all. Aiden in Utah. Hi, Aiden. What's on your mind? Yeah, try to follow that up. You know the pig from Looney Tunes? That's what Todd sounds like when he talks to and Eminem and then that's all folks. Wow, that's messed up. That's very mean. I like it. You don't have to take that. It's actually about a confessional for Being mean to others. It's accurate. You bully. Aiden, don't. Stop saying mean things about Todd. I'm sorry. I do talk about Todd too much. I, I, I apologize. Todd, last night. What a game between a future first ballot hall of Famer and Aaron Rogers. Nice one. Thank you, Aiden. Yeah, maybe Joe Flacco, you know, maybe, you know, get it on a playoff run. Maybe. What? No, he's not gonna say no. No, he's not a Hall of Famer, but he's had a pretty good career. He has. Super bowl mvp. Made some money, too. Yeah. Yeah. Paul, if you did most improved team in a week in the NFL, it's got to be them. I know. Their defense still stinks, but now they're threatening. Well, they were talking about maybe, maybe trading Trey Hendrickson that he hadn't really performed or, but he's banged up, and so. I don't know. I saw where the Cowboys might be interested in him because I think now they admit they need a pass rush. What? Yeah. Too bad they didn't have one. Go figure. All right, hour two on this Friday.
