For more, check out Bose.com you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Hour 2 on this meet Friday. Dan and the Danette's Dan Patrick Show. We're down to Danette. Paulie is out for the day, but Fritzi is here to pick up the slack. The minister of humor. Also Seaton, Marv, yours truly in the back room. Guys, Ross Tucker, our good buddy from CBS Westwood One. He was on the radio. Call the Lions game last night against Green Bay. We will do the most must win game of the weekend. The best weekend Sports. Also Booger McFarland from the mothership will stop by. College football rankings released on Sunday got a lot of conference title games coming up later on today. And tomorrow the headlines dominated by the lions. They're now 12 and 1. They beat the Packers 11 game winning streak and they win at 34, 31. The big story is Dan Campbell. Campbell, as in gamble, continues to do it on fourth down. I'm okay with it. Like that's your identity. Your players know that. In fact, listen to Dan Campbell. His players know what to expect when they get into these situations.

[Ross Tucker]

Look, I told the guys knew, players knew, coaches knew. Listen, this is, don't ride the wave. You know, we could be up two scores, we could be down two scores and. But just because we're one or the other, we got to play our style of game going in what we fe. We need to do what I felt like we needed to do. And so that meant the risk was there and you know, and you fell in negative territory. You got, you know, you're trying to hold him to a field goal. But I knew that was, that was.

[Dan Patrick]

How I wanted to play that team.

[Ross Tucker]

With where we were at.

[Dan Patrick]

He takes a chance, he takes a gamble. They know he's going to. He took over in 2021. The Lions lead the NFL in both fourth down attempts. 140 and fourth down conversion, 77. So that's 55%. Now that's not a great percentage because that's 13th in the league over that spam. But this is the identity. This has been the identity from day one. And I think your players, they just want to know, you know, how many times do you see, are they going to go for it? Oh, wait, the quarterback wants to go for it. The coach is not going to go for it. Wait, there's no disconnect here. Jared Goff knows I'm going to call two plays now. And I think it's a great advantage when your quarterback gets into a situation where it's third and seven. Well, you're calling two plays there. If you're going to go for it on fourth down, let's say you get five and now it's fourth and two. So you're already gearing up for that. It's like when the Chiefs without Harrison Butker and I said, gosh, you're giving Patrick Mahomes and even added another advantage because now he gets four downs against you because maybe you're not going to go for that field goal. Maybe you're going to go, this is two down territory. Third and fourth down. 877-3-DP show email address dp danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Poll Question for hour two. By the way, in case you're wondering, since it is a meat Friday, smokey meatball parm sandwiches and curly fries, who has it better than we do?

[Justin Jefferson]

No body.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd.

[Justin Jefferson]

Very excited.

[Dan Patrick]

A little bit more. Okay. For the curly fries or for the meatball parm?

[Justin Jefferson]

The meatball parm. But the curly fries with that. That combo, that's right up my alley.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Justin Jefferson]

I may sneak something over to the side there when you guys are on.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, we have to wait.

[Justin Jefferson]

We have to.

[Dan Patrick]

No, we eat at the same time. My thanks to Ryan Leaf, who sat in the chair yesterday while I filmed my scene in Happy Gilmore 2. It turned out to be two scenes that I filmed. Adam Sandler will join us in an hour from now, and I'll let him describe how the day went yesterday. Long day. A lot of fun. Got to see Shooter McGavin. He was shooting some of his scenes yesterday as well. Benny Safdie, great director. He's also an actor in this movie. He's the villain in Happy Gilmore 2. And once again, I just found out about the script yesterday because they never sent it to me. I found out who's in it. A lot of cameos and a plot twist that I did not expect either.

[Seaton]

Well, we put up there for the first hour. Is Ace Ventura a sports movie? Obviously, a very important question right now. 61% of the audience say, yeah, no, it is not.

[Dan Patrick]

No, it's not.

[Seaton]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Well, as I said, I watched it yesterday. So I'm in my trailer, I shot one scene, and then I had, like, three hours. And then all of a sudden, I'm trying to find something to watch. Very limited. And then went to Hulu and got Ace Ventura, Pet detective Dan Marino. A very young Dan Marino. Courtney Cox. A very young Courtney Cox. And it's about the Dolphins and losing their mascot. There's super bowl rings that are involved in this. So I said, yeah, it's a sports movie. Yes, Marvin.

[Ross Tucker]

And in what part of the movie do they actually play sports?

[Dan Patrick]

They don't, not that I'm aware of.

[Seaton]

They say laces out, though.

[Dan Patrick]

They do. Laces out. They do. And you know the place kicker, what, what's his name? Fink. Ray Finkel. Finkel, Ray.

[Ross Tucker]

I don't want to spoil it, but there's a twist.

[Seaton]

Oh, is Einhorn. Einhorn is Finkel.

[Dan Patrick]

Plot twist. Courtney Cox.

[Seaton]

There you go. Ruined it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you did, you did. And then we started Talking about best 5 years, 6 year runs for an actor or an actress. And we had a lot of suggestions there. I would put Harrison Ford is up there. He had some absolute bangers. Yes.

[Seaton]

We have a lot of people weighing in on this. It's going into music, movies. There's a massive Eminem debate happening in the back right now, which is great. This is one of my favorite submissions that somebody sent in. Kyle in Pennsylvania. Talk about an underappreciated run of movies that I think you're going to like, Dan. Vin Diesel.

[Dan Patrick]

One of the great actors of our time.

[Seaton]

Seriously, one of the great actors of our time. In a five year stretch, he had Boiler Room, Pitch Black, Fast and Furious, maybe even two of them. Triple X, Pacifier, Chronicles of Riddick. He had a run there where Vin. Vin Diesel was arguably the biggest box office star in the world.

[Dan Patrick]

I was going to say he probably banked more money in a five year window.

[Seaton]

That's $7 billion right there.

[Dan Patrick]

When Fast and Furious came out, I thought, this is going to be a monster hit because it had cars and it had women and there was sort of a plot there. And I thought, gone in 60 seconds with Angelina Jolie, like, and Nicolas Cage. I thought that one could have been.

[Seaton]

A franchise named like, Montana Reigns or something like that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, like Dakota Reigns. Yeah, something like that. Yes. And who was his brother?

[Seaton]

Memphis. Was his name Memphis.

[Dan Patrick]

Memphis. Memphis Reigns or something? Yeah, they have. Giovanni Ribisi was in there, like the.

[Seaton]

Tweaker, like, garage guy. Giovanni Rubizzi.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah, yeah. And then you had. Who's the guy who was in Godfather? The old. The older guy in the movie. Oh, famous actor.

[Ross Tucker]

Damn.

[Dan Patrick]

Famous. Famous.

[Seaton]

He was famous. Why are we not thinking of James Khan?

[Dan Patrick]

No, but that. That kind of.

[Seaton]

Scott Khan was in the movie.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, it's Marlon Brando. No. How about you Google gone in 60 seconds. I don't see anyone. No, no, this guy's. This guy is a hall of famer.

[Ross Tucker]

Diane Keaton.

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Seaton]

Will Patton, Timothy Oliphant Shy McBride.

[Dan Patrick]

This guy Robert Duvall.

[Hoda Kotb]

There it is.

[Seaton]

Sorry it took a long time to find him.

[Dan Patrick]

It's not a stat of the day. Where's Paulie when I need him? Mike in Alabama. Hi, Mike. Hi, Mike.

[Todd Fritz]

Good morning, fellas. Happy me Friday. I was so hoping I'd be next. After that I was screaming Abe gotta into the. Into the dashboard. But that's it. Bobby D. For sure. Proud member of the DDC DDD club and my long past father, who also had the smoky tones that are similar to your own voice, gave me my entire life what I think is a walk off in this category I've been talking about. Quadruple threat. Writer, director, producer and actor of two of the greatest comedies in American history. Mel Brooks released Young Frankenstein and blazing saddles in 1974. That's one year, two probably of the top five comedies of all time. And he did it all.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Can't go wrong with that. Brilliant, brilliant man. Sean in Ohio. Hi, Sean.

[Todd Fritz]

I'm here to call out Todd fritz for not Mr. 80s himself. Not saying Patrick's crazy. 86 to 91, young blood, dirty Dancing, Roadhouse. Next again, Ghost in Point Break.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Don, I will see your Patrick.

[Justin Jefferson]

Swayze and raise you to me more from the mid-80s to early 90s. Blame it on Rio, St. Elmo's Fire, about last night. The seventh Sign, Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, all from the mid-80s to early 90s.

[Todd Fritz]

Wow.

[Dan Patrick]

A good run. Good run.

[Justin Jefferson]

All before Striptease.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, and that wasn't a good movie.

[Seaton]

I'm throwing a red flag on you. Including Blame it on Rio in that.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, there's more.

[Justin Jefferson]

Michelle Johnson.

[Dan Patrick]

There's a reason why. Yeah, they're topless in there.

[Justin Jefferson]

It happens sometimes. It falls off. Wasn't intended.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, what a creepy movie. Michael Caine, Michael Kane, Michael Caine. Like. Yeah, there's so many of those movies where that couldn't be made now. Vince and Austin. Hi, Vince. What's on your mind today?

[Todd Fritz]

Hey, guys, good morning. Happy Friday, everybody. Dan. Mr. Yesterday. Anyway, Marvin, Marvin, your huskies come to Austin Sunday. Looks like your championship run is over. I feel sorry for you, dude. My club lasted out of here.

[Dan Patrick]

Vince, you and Marvin want to place a bet on this? Oh, you hung up on him. Marvin.

[Todd Fritz]

That.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, wow.

[Ross Tucker]

I didn't hang up on him.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Are you afraid of the Texas Longhorns?

[Ross Tucker]

Of Texas? I swear on my father I didn't hang up.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but you don't like your dad. Did you swear on your Mom. Huh? Exactly.

[Ross Tucker]

But I would. I would bet him.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Ross Tucker]

Texas A, Vince callback. Our run is over.

[Dan Patrick]

What run is Texas? Basketball. Yeah. Okay. Straight up. No, no point. Straight up. No, straight up. All right. Pie to the face. Vince Marvin is going to take you up on your bet. And if you lose, you got to take a video of taking a pie to the face. Yes.

[Seaton]

Seaton, my brother David checking in with Anthony Michael Hall. 1983 to 1988.

[Dan Patrick]

Right.

[Seaton]

You have National Lampoon's Vacation, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Weird Science, out of Bounds, and Johnny B. Goode. And then right past that is Edward Scissorhands. That's a pretty good run. Yeah, it's a pretty great run.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I could see that. Yeah. Andrew in Washington. Welcome back, Andrew. Good morning, Dan Dennett. Happy Meat Friday. Thanks for taking my call. I do have a couple of questions, but first, I have an MMW gotw Must most must win game of the week. Mine is going to be the Seahawks at the Cardinals. You look at that division in the NSC west is only, you know, two games away from the Niners at the bottom to the Seahawks at the top. You know, the Cardinals are giving the Seahawks two and a half points, yet the Seahawks beat them in week 12, 16 to 6. So I think that really says which team is going to win that division. So that's my mmw. Got w. Dan, two questions for you. One, you know, did a car come up with Sandler for all of your appearances in his movies? And two, maybe a quick hot, five minute hot poll more in character on set in a suit. You or Joe Pesci? Yeah, I don't want to bring Joe into this. You know, he stands alone. I just got back into my Sports center days. They put a mustache on me and I. That's all it is. You get locked in. That is truly like riding a bike. When you sit there in the chair, you got a suit and tie on and you got your lines on prompter and you're just reading prompter. That's all it was. And I mean, there's some magic there, obviously. But no, it was fun because Sandler sits all the way in the back. So when I'm on set and I'm, I got this kind of a sports center set and it's dark all the way back. You can't see anybody in the back. So you got all these camera people, sound people, hair, makeup, like a hundred people there. And then you will do a take and then Sandler will yell out something like, danny, Danny, why don't you put, why don't you say and then, then you do that and then. So he did. He does this all the time. When I did. Just go with it where I'm on stage with Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston and Dave Matthews. Sandler's all the way in the back just yelling out lines, Danny, Danny, why don't you try this line? But sort of workshopping it as we go along. And then usually we just go back to whatever the script is. But it's always beneficial to have the eyes and ears of Sandler throwing out stuff there. But he'll join us coming up top of next hour. More phone calls. 8773 DP show email address DP danpatrick.com Twitter handle it TP Show Good morning.

[Justin Jefferson]

What I just got word from Mr. Sandler. They're right between scenes right now. So he's actually going to join us next at 25 past the hour.

[Dan Patrick]

I got Ross Tucker.

[Justin Jefferson]

I know. I'm going to kindly move Ross gently because he's a big man to either later in the hour or the top of the 11 hour because Sandman needs to do it as soon as possible.

[Seaton]

I'm going to kindly move him gently.

[Justin Jefferson]

I hate having to move yesterday.

[Dan Patrick]

You're going to like he was going to be joining us in four minutes.

[Justin Jefferson]

I know it's not very professional, but Sandman's on a very tight schedule and needs to do it next. So hopefully Ross will understand.

[Dan Patrick]

Here we go, playing the Hollywood Star. Okay, Sandman. All right, we'll take a break. Adam Sandler joins us next.

[Ross Tucker]

I'm a regular on the show.

[Justin Jefferson]

I don't know how you could do that to three minutes before I'm coming on. You told me. No. He was actually very cool.

[Dan Patrick]

Of course he was.

[Justin Jefferson]

And Sam, men should be calling in a few minutes.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. So Ross Tucker will join us coming up in about 20 minutes from now. I was all set to be asking some hard hitting football questions to Ross because he was on the call with the game last night with the lions now winning 11 games in a row. But Sandman will join us coming up. Seaton, would you update the poll results? In fact, I don't even know what the poll question is for hour two.

[Seaton]

Well, we got another offbeat one. Let me see. Is Ace Ventura sports movie right now 62%. It's actually getting worse. Say no.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Seaton]

Somebody else suggested would you rather have the actor's career? Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, also good. The Lions going for it on fourth down is a good idea or bad idea? And then another one off of a sound bite we had. But is it called the red zone or the red area?

[Dan Patrick]

Who called it the red area?

[Seaton]

Matt LaFleur said, well, when we're down there in the red area, we need to be. I feel like I've heard that a little bit more lately. The red area.

[Dan Patrick]

I think that's something you find on your body. Like down in the red area. Oh, yes, doc.

[Justin Jefferson]

I went to the dermatologist for that a couple of times.

[Dan Patrick]

I give you a little cream.

[Justin Jefferson]

You're fine.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Seaton]

Is that a red area?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Yeah. I haven't heard the red area before.

[Seaton]

I feel like if I sat here on the show and I was just like, well, you know, they're down in the red area. Social media would be like, you don't know anything.

[Dan Patrick]

You're stupid. You're so stupid.

[Seaton]

How did you get this job?

[Dan Patrick]

As we make the smooth segue to Adam Sandler, Happy. Happy Gilmore, too set to call in, I believe. Oh, Todd's on the phone with Sandman now. This is where Todd does his impersonation. Like, he'll do. Oh, let me get Danny for you.

[Seaton]

Danny's gonna be ready for you.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right, here we go. All right. Did Todd. Did you do your Sandler impersonation to Sandler?

[Justin Jefferson]

I did not.

[Dan Patrick]

Go ahead, go ahead. Turkey for you.

[Justin Jefferson]

Turkey told me. I saw that on the Thanksgiving special where he was playing his guitar with Kevin Neal, and I just love that stuff.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Justin Jefferson]

I love it.

[Dan Patrick]

I stand, man.

[Todd Fritz]

I love you. Good, good, good. Hi, Danny. How are you feeling?

[Dan Patrick]

I'm good. Okay, I have. I have to tell you that I stole my sweatshirt. That. That first scene that I'm in, I have it on today.

[Todd Fritz]

Oh, no, Danny, no. They were looking for it. Onboarding. Oh, guys, calm down.

[Dan Patrick]

Danny, I know that you guys get caught up in wardrobe and you can't take anything, but it was the next to last day, and I loved it so much that I decided I was just going to take it with me. I also, I told these guys you were on the phone. I don't know if you're talking to your wife. I'm done with my scene. I'm leaving last night, and I grab a chair, and you're going, danny, what are you doing? And I go, I'm taking a Happy Gilmore 2 souvenir chair.

[Todd Fritz]

Yes, yes. No, no, no. There was no doubt. You deserve the chair. You did good work last night. I just didn't. I was a little shocked to the amount of Eminem. Just.

[Dan Patrick]

Are we allowed to talk about some of the people in the mood? Like, what can we talk about here since the movie wraps today?

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah. Are we on the air right now?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, we are.

[Todd Fritz]

Okay. Yeah. We can't talk about anything. No, no, no, no. Yeah, you can say who was there. Shooter was there. He was hanging out, right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Shooter McGavin. Okay, but can I talk about some of the cameos?

[Todd Fritz]

I don't know if they. They're gonna yell at me no matter what because they asked me not to do any press. But. But what? Yeah. What do you want to say? What do you say? And I'll tell you if it's good or bad to talk about.

[Dan Patrick]

Like, can I talk about Eminem having a cameo?

[Todd Fritz]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Todd Fritz]

Yes, you can. You know, Eminem was cool. He came by and he was. He was great.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Wait, how Do you reach out to Eminem and what role does he play in Happy Gilmore, too?

[Todd Fritz]

I can't tell you.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Todd Fritz]

I know Eminem for a time, and he's. He's a great guy. And he came in, was funny as hell and was. Yes. It was just. I think we just hung out a day with Eminem, and he just shot and shot and was insane. Said a million things we can use and a million things that we just. We're glad we have them on tape.

[Dan Patrick]

Jack Nicklaus.

[Todd Fritz]

Yes. Jack Nicholas. Yes. We. He came by for a couple of days. All the. All these great golfers came by, and we. Yes. They did a great scene. And we all. We all hung out, and he was amazing, and he hung out with us, and his wife was awesome. And we. I. In the scene, I sit next to Jack, so I got to talk to him, and he was. He was so nice to me, man. He was. He was. He did literally to me. I talked to him on the phone, and I was right before, like, maybe a couple weeks before we shot, and I was. It reminded me of growing up so much and what he meant to my dad and what he meant to the whole world.

[Dan Patrick]

Pretty cool.

[Todd Fritz]

I was like. I think the only other voice that. On the phone that would make me feel. What I'm feeling was Johnny Carson. Just kind of felt like. Just calmed you down. Everything he had to say was so sweet and calm, and you felt like just. Just. I better listen to this man, because he just knows everything.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Here's another thing. I'm not sure if this is true. I think John Daley brought this up, that the movie was coming out in March or April. I thought it might have been a blockbuster Fourth of July weekend. But I'm wondering if you're trying to have it aligned with Masters Week, where you have Happy Gilmore to come out.

[Todd Fritz]

It's not coming out then? I don't know a hundred percent, but I think around July. Okay, so July 4th. But. But I. We're trying to get it done in time for July. Yeah. Just. You never know what's gonna happen. We're just. Just finishing today at the last day. You were phenomenal yesterday, Danny. Seriously. We all talked about. You just. You were just so smooth, and everything you said was funny. It's funny as hell. We're going to use it all over the place and. Thank you. And you look handsome as hell in the mustache. You look like a strong. You look like you're hitting the weights hard, buddy.

[Dan Patrick]

But you know what, Sandman? I just had Somebody say I look like maybe a younger, thinner Andy Reid?

[Todd Fritz]

I wouldn't, I wouldn't say thinner, but yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. I don't know if you should be calling me out. Chunky Cole Medina.

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah. No, Andy Reid, by the way, is a handsome bastard. Nothing wrong with that. And he's a superstar and he's funny on those commercials. He does the twinkle and steals some nugget or something. I think he eats Mahomes last nugget or something.

[Dan Patrick]

How much pressure do you feel with the build up and trying to deliver on something like this?

[Todd Fritz]

Well, you know, a lot. A lot, a lot. I want, I want it to be great. Me and Hurla, he's next to me right now. We're in the trailer going over the movie, just talking about the thing and what, how we're going to put it together and. Yeah, yeah, it's on your mind. You just, you just. We got a lot of good stuff and we just want to make sure that it all comes together and keep. Keeps it going from start to finish and that's. That's goal. We'll see. We'll see. We're definitely nervous, but we feel some sort of confidence.

[Dan Patrick]

We're talking to Adam Sandler, the movie Happy Gilmore to probably in July. They wrap it up today. I did get yelled at by one of your producers. Eli. I found out that you can't use the F word in the movie.

[Todd Fritz]

Well, this. You never know. You never know. Maybe, maybe if it makes total sense that F word is gonna be. So Eli, I'm gonna. Eli just got fired.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, the movie ends today, so you can't.

[Todd Fritz]

Oh, that's it. Yeah, Yeah, I guess this is the last goddamn day you don't. By the way, Eli got fired in case his parents are listening. I love Eli.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no. Great. Once again it was fun. Great to see you. A lot of the familiar faces there and. And I know, I know you've been told not to talk about the movie, so thank you for at least volunteering if you wanted. If I wanted you on the show today. So thanks for, for joining.

[Todd Fritz]

I wanted to be with you, Danny, just to celebrate how great you were last night and, and all the boys say hi to him and have a holiday.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, wait a minute, hold on. Yeah, there is a little bit of a problem.

[Todd Fritz]

What?

[Dan Patrick]

I'm sure you had a lot of golf galleries yet a lot of people extras there. And you have been nice to get the Danets into movies. And I waited for the invitation to hand it to them so they could.

[Todd Fritz]

The Danettes are in the Waterboy. If we do the Waterboy again, they're in that. I didn't want that. I know none of them like golf, so I was like, this doesn't matter.

[Dan Patrick]

That is true. Is there going to be a sequel to the Waterboy?

[Todd Fritz]

Okay. I don't know in what order, but I think next sequel. I know no matter what I say, people gonna think I'm serious. So. But I'm gonna start off with, we're doing a sequel to Bedtime Stories next, then a sequel. No, I'm not. I don't know what I'm doing.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Okay. So there's no sequel to Waterboy. You're just joking.

[Todd Fritz]

I mean. No. I don't know. You never know. I. Probably not, but Boucher tackling anybody at age 58 is a little weirder than him hitting a golf ball. You know what I mean? Boucher would be dead. Would be dead right now if he hit anybody in the NFL.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yes. Seaton.

[Seaton]

Sounds like Adam is writing the son of the waterboy.

[Todd Fritz]

Oh, that could be good. That could be good. And who's playing the Sun?

[Dan Patrick]

Timothy Chalamet?

[Seaton]

Barry Kehoe.

[Todd Fritz]

Oh, yeah. All right, well, we'll figure it out.

[Dan Patrick]

I can't imagine. Okay, so Sandman played pickup with Timothee Chalamet on a New York City playground. What kind of game does Timothee Chalamet have?

[Todd Fritz]

He's a very smooth operator on the court, and I played ball with him. I played ball with him a few times out in la, too. He's. He's cool. I think I remember Timmy came over to the house. He had some good three on threes. It gets heated up, man. The kid likes to win. He's good.

[Dan Patrick]

How were your daughters when Timothee Chalamet came to your house?

[Todd Fritz]

They were. They held it together. He was so cool to him. So. So that they held it together. But it was a nice. It was a good three days after still smiling. You know what I mean? It felt good.

[Dan Patrick]

Thanks again. Thanks again for the opportunity and talk to you soon. Safe travels.

[Todd Fritz]

Way to go, Danny. Thanks for your time. Love you, boy. See you soon.

[Dan Patrick]

That's Adam Sandler. I did get close to texting Sandman a while ago to say, hey, if you need extras. But I thought, no, he has invited you guys in a couple of movies, and I was waiting for the invitation for you guys, so I didn't want to. I didn't want to push my friendship boundaries there with Sandman. Just so you guys know, Marvin could have been in a movie.

[Ross Tucker]

Oh, that's all right. Josh demelle looked out.

[Dan Patrick]

He did.

[Ross Tucker]

We were in the beginning of Buddy Games.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Justin Jefferson]

It's not Happy Gilmore too or anything.

[Dan Patrick]

No, it's not. No, it's not. So yeah, Eminem's got a cameo there. I was shocked that, you know, Rory McElroy's in it. Bryson DeChambeau. It's weird. They brought together the PGA Tour and the live tour for a movie. So you had DeChambeau and Koepka, Rory, and they were all together and there's no media around so they actually probably got a chance to, you know, have a heart to heart talk about the live tour and the PGA Tour. So I guess July will be Happy Gilmore too. John Daly said he thought of his March or April and I think of that as a John knows nothing about movies. John is in the movie. But I thought that is a unbelievable turnaround and thought I'd ask the sandman. Tom in Iowa. Hi, Tom. What's on your mind today?

[Todd Fritz]

Hey, fellas. Happy Meat Friday to you all. I've got the definitive argument of why I is a sports movie. And it comes down to there's an entire generation of us now when we a football game and there is a kick miss, the first thing we look.

[Dan Patrick]

At is the ball and someone invariably.

[Todd Fritz]

Will yell out places out Dan. Love you guys.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tom. Let's take a break because Ross Tucker kind enough to allow Fritzie to push him back a little bit there so we can make way for big time Hollywood actor Adam Sandler.

[Justin Jefferson]

I can't believe you guys would do that to me right before I'm coming on.

[Dan Patrick]

Take a break. Back after this.

Speaking of good friends, probably not as good a friend of Fritzie as he is to me. After Fritz, he said, ross Tucker, why don't you wait 20 minutes? We got to bring in Adams Sandler. And I said, no, make Sandler wait. And you said, nope, can't do that. Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, and the Ross Tucker football podcast. Ross was on the call for Westwood One last night. Packers in lines. So you can tell your kids you got bumped for Adam Sandler there, Ross.

[Ross Tucker]

Yeah, you know what's so funny about that, Dan? They're 12 and 11. I'm wondering what they know about Adam Sandler. I think it might be way cooler to tell my wife and friends that I got bumped. I actually replied to you guys on X at Ross Tucker, NFL, and I got a new poll question of the day for Seaton. Should I be honored or offended that I got bumped for Adam Sandler? There's already 130 votes. 74% say honored, 26% say offended. So far.

[Dan Patrick]

Hmm. I would say you should be honored. You should be honored to me.

[Ross Tucker]

I don't care. I'm just in a hotel room in Detroit. And it's a way cooler story now. Like, I'm gonna tell everybody. You know, it's a way cooler story that I got bumped for Santa than if I just came on at 10:20. The only issue, Dan, is I scheduled. I was on the radio in Chicago before I came on. Fritzie texted me no less than 10 times while I'm on the radio on my phone in Chicago. Can you. Can you go later? 1040, 1105. Sandler. Oh, he's on a break in his thing. Like. Like Fritzie. How about just one text with all of the information as opposed to the ding coming in every three seconds as you say three more words and hit send.

[Justin Jefferson]

I would say to that that I didn't mean to ding up your phone, and I wasn't. Certainly wasn't aware that you were on in the middle of an interview on some. On a radio station.

[Dan Patrick]

But even if he's not on an interview.

[Justin Jefferson]

But things were also changing. I was getting different notes from the Sandman about when he was available, so that caused me to change the update on what I had to share With Ross while we were moving things around, I certainly wasn't meant. I didn't mean to be a pastor.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd Ross. Can a team peak too soon?

[Ross Tucker]

Yes, no question.

[Dan Patrick]

Can the Lions be peaking too soon?

[Ross Tucker]

I don't think so because of how injured they are on the defensive side of the ball. I mean, they have 13 guys on IR on defense. Nobody else has more than seven. After Aleem McNeil, who's a stud by the way, after he went out, Dan, they didn't have a single guy playing last night that was in the too deep on the defensive line for their opener. Think about that. That is nuts. They're playing with all guys off the street or practice squad guys and still beating the Green Bay packers in a game like that. It's incredibly impressive. I mean, I'm watching Quan Alexander and Jamal Adams make some plays. They just signed both those guys this week and it's a Thursday game. It's incredible, incredible what they've done. And I would say in particular the offense is awesome. But for them to be good enough on defense to win these games with some of the guys they're playing with is super impressive.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I just wonder about that, the attrition. When does that catch up to them? So far they've managed it. But this is where I go back and I said at the start of the show, I like the. I think the Eagles are the most balanced team in football right now and maybe the best team in football right now. Buffalo is in there as well. Certainly the Lions are. I can't diminish what they've done. I just have to look at the bigger picture here. And that is at some point in the postseason, you're going to have to stop somebody that you're not going to win all these shootouts. At least I don't think you will. But what would be your biggest concern with the lions?

[Ross Tucker]

Well, so two things. One is reader is going to come back. Ali McNeil is coming back. I had an Zelone on the Ross Tucker football podcast Wednesday. He's coming back from that broken forearm. So they're actually going to get a bunch of these guys back before they get into the postseason. That will help. And the number one seed is just huge. I mean, being able to not have to play that first week so you get more people healing. And then I can tell you last night, and I know some people said on the television broadcast that maybe they couldn't hear the crowd. It was loud, really loud. I thought it affected the Packers a little bit. My biggest concern Dan, about the Lions is fourth down variants, right? You know, they're very aggressive and they were three out of four last night. And it's a big reason why they won the game. And on a lot of those instances, they are going with the numbers and what the percentages say, but the percentages and the numbers don't know. It's the NFC Championship game and they don't care. You know what I mean? Like they don't care. So, you know, let's say it's 50% on a lot of fourth down conversions, right? Well, they were 75% last night. They were three out of four in three playoff games or maybe four. I wonder which one of those it comes back to bite them. They threw the ball, Dan. On two fourth and goals, they threw it. You know, a lot of bad things can happen there. A D lineman can bat the pass down, golf can have a bad throw. Good defense by the packers, the guy could drop it. When you're in a situation. This is not the Eagles with the tush push on their fourth downs. They're throwing the ball on some of these fourth and goals. They were both touchdowns. They're in one of the playoff games. It's not going to happen for them. They're going to, they're going to go one for three on fourth downs and it might be what costs them.

[Dan Patrick]

And I wondered about that. If Dan Campbell is saying, let's give somebody something to think about in the postseason by what we're doing in the regular season on some of these fourth down calls, that we're not going to be predictable. The predictability is we're going for it, but there is no predictability in what play we call there. That's the only thing I thought of there. But if you played on the Lions and you're on the offensive side of the ball being a lineman and you know Dan Campbell's going for it on fourth down, what does that do for a team when they get in a huddle and you, you basically know when we get to third, we're getting to fourth down as well.

[Ross Tucker]

Well, there's two awesome aspects of that. Number one, we saw this a bunch last night. It enables them to be willing to run the ball on third and medium, which really helps the play action, pass game really helps out the offensive line. They're not afraid to run third, four, five and six. They're. They'll run the ball. They ran for a first down a couple times. They didn't, but they got closer. Then they went forward on fourth down. So That's a cool aspect of it. And then the other thing is just the belief and faith that that team has, I thought a couple times started the second half, then after the they stopped them on fourth down and pat, the packers went up twice in the second half and I thought okay, what a valiant effort by the Lions. But they're, they're outmanned and it's just not going to happen for them. I think because of how much Dan Campbell believes in them. I think it reinforces the self belief, the confidence. We talked to David Montgomery, Ian Eagle and myself after the game and he said Dan Campbell told them all week almost every fourth down if it's close, we are going. So those guys, they just know that Campbell believes in them and even if they don't get one, they, they know they're going for it and they know their coach believes in them that they're going to get it. I think that's a big reason why they're so resilient and they keep coming back even when the packers take the lead like they did.

[Dan Patrick]

Curious your opinion on Aziz Al Shair, the three game suspension on Trevor Lawrence and will we see a modification of the rule or a possible rule change with this play?

[Ross Tucker]

I think they need to strongly consider what they're going to do with the quarterback slide. I never thought of this until I heard Rex Ryan talking about it earlier in the week and I'll give him a lot of credit for that. It's not a smart decision by a quarterback unless you Tom Brady it and do it super early. But that kind of goes against human instinct, right? Like human instinct is to get as many yards as you can and then get down. But when you slide feet first, the thing highest off the ground, the last thing to get down and protected is your head. You're making yourself very, very vulnerable. Now I thought Al Shire could have done a better job of avoiding that collision. And I will say this though anybody's ever played will tell you everything out there happens so much faster than it does when you're watching on tv. I mean it happens in an instant. I thought he got one game for basically his the hit and his track record. You know, he's had some other questionable hits. I thought he got another game because of how bad it looked for Trevor Lawrence and carted off and all that. I thought the third game honestly was because of his reaction afterwards and like the riot that it started. I actually really thought they would reduce it to two. I'm surprised that they didn't.

[Dan Patrick]

Always great to talk to you. And thanks for joining us. And.

[Ross Tucker]

My pleasure. I don't know when Happy Gilmore 2 will be released.

[Dan Patrick]

It's probably. It'll be in July.

[Ross Tucker]

I know that. I feel like John Daly doesn't know what he's talking about. I know at least that.

[Dan Patrick]

And you're probably going to get bumped from the guest list of being able to see the movie. So just letting you know. Might get bumped again. Ross, thank you.

[Ross Tucker]

I love that movie. We watched that 50 times in college. Love it.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Dan Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, the Ross Tucker football podcast, and social media at Ross Tucker, NFL. You got the Bills coming up for the Lions. You've got the Niners. The artist formerly known as the Niners. You got the Bears, you got the Vikings. So not an easy route, but they should be able to win three out of four. Final hour on the way. Booger McFarlane will stop by. Hope you'll join us Final hour in this meat Friday after this.
