Last day for Flacco Flacco round and find out t shirt@danpatrick.com it's been a big hit. Surprising hit. Maybe not as big as Passhole with Fritz's tribute. That T shirt. Is that a contest? Yeah. Did you just challenge the those getting a flacco round and find out T shirt? Yeah, yeah. But you can't get the pass hole T shirts anymore. That was a short run as well. But you can go to danpatrick.com it's the last day Stat of the day. Ronnie, do you buy Penny? I think we're breaking up a little. Somebody reset the server. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Well, what happens during the commercial break? I try to grab something to eat. Well, I happen to grab something to eat and put a little hot sauce on it. And the hot sauce is reminding me not to put hot sauce on something while you're doing a radio show. That was a gamble by you. Yes, it was, Todd. It was strategic. And I'm trying to get some water here, wash it down a little bit. Yes. Seaton, what hot sauce did you go with? You go with a little Frank's Red hot, Something a little more spicy. Something more in the vinegar family. I went with Louisiana hot sauce. Yeah, yeah. And there was more out of the bottle, and I thought, okay, then more people have tried this where there was another one in there and nobody had tried that one. I go, I'm not trying that one. So I tried a little hot. Hot sauce, and it's disagreeing with me right now. Yes. Paul, do you guys put hot sauce on, like, a lot of stuff? Eggs, pizza, Just about everything. Not pizza, but eggs. Yeah, definitely eggs. I'm a big hot sauce on eggs guy. Yeah. Yes. What else? What's a rando Pasta? No, no. The heck steak. Yeah. Hot steak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't. I. I. It's probably just for eggs, but. Yeah. I got reminded not to do that. It's tough to grab something to eat, and then you come back and you may have something in your teeth. I remember one time, I think my. My youngest sister said, you got something hanging from your mouth. I didn't know it. I'm on the air, and I'm like, oh, so you're like, oops. But hey, it's live. It's not scripted. And hot sauce. Yeah, a little hot sauce. You're literally showing how the sausage is being made in your teeth. Thank you, Todd. It's sauce. Yeah. All right, Seaton, poll question. Get me out of this, please. Yeah, I know. This is a real show. This is what we do for a living. Yeah, we have up there. For whom is tonight's game More must winish right now, the dodgers have about 54% of that vote. We also put up there. Who are you rooting for in this series, Blue Jays or Dodgers? And we did that on October 22nd, we did that same poll question, and 69% of the audience were rooting for the Blue Jays. Yeah, I get that. I could understand. You know, it's. It's regionalized with California, I think there's three other states that there was some poll survey that said they'd be rooting for the Dodgers. And you got Canada, although you have Japan rooting for. And you start to think about these TV markets, I think there were pretty impressive numbers, maybe 6 million viewers in Canada for the Blue Jays. So you get that. And you're also going to get the United States and you're going to get Japan as well. So you're, it is, it's truly a World Series when you think about it. You got Canada, you got, you know, United States, you got Japan as well in there with sh. Otani. And you might not, you might not see maybe the revenue from that. I, I'm not a, you know, TV ratings guy, but this feels bigger because you're talking about, you know, globally, certainly with Shohei Ohtani. And then you get the Canadian market as well. I don't know if the east coast is all in on this or Midwest is all in on this, but, you know, it's a, it's a pretty good reach, a global reach. 877-3-DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP show so the Blue Jays handled the Dodgers 6, 2, tying the series at two games a piece. And they go back at it tonight again and then you'll have a day off for travel and then it resumes on Friday night. And if you get to a game seven concludes on Saturday. Yes, Paul. According to a couple different places, front office sports said that Games 1 and 2 average 10.7 million viewers in Japan, the most viewed World Series games ever in the country. Japan, 6.8 million in Canada, the most viewed Blue Jay game ever, regular season or postseason. Yeah, once again, I don't know how you monetize that, but, but you are getting your product. You know, you're reaching different markets. It seems like this would be a positive for baseball that you're selling it globally. It's being consumed globally. Now if Shohei is not in there next year, you know, what kind of reach are you getting? Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah, you, you want him in there every year. And even with Canada with the Blue Jays, I mean, it's, I always loved going to Montreal and there's a, there's a documentary out about the Expos, like who Killed the Expos? And you know, it's a shame that they don't have baseball there. Every time I went to Toronto for those World Series games, great crowds, you know, the atmosphere is wonderful. And Montreal was the same way. Montreal had as much talent going through their farm system and their teams as any team in baseball. There was like a 15 year period where it was, man, the Expos got that guy, or they got that guy. It was loaded. When you think about rock reigns, Andre Dawson, Randy Johnson before he became Randy Johnson, Gary Carter. Yes, Marv. Didn't the Expos have the best record in baseball during the strike. That was 94. And then because they might have won the World Series that year, didn't they have Steve Rogers? Wasn't he their ace in 1994? That's right. Two years in a row. Yeah. I loved going to Montreal to watch. I remember going up there to watch the Mets play and just, I, I appreciated the atmosphere there, but they needed a new stadium. And there's a documentary, I think it's called who Killed the Expos? Yes. Marvin wasn't a young Pedro on the Expost. Yeah, that's almost like Ohtani on the Angels. Yeah. People. People forget that completely. Larry Walker, Vlad Guerrero, senior. A lot of talent. Yes, a lot of talent. But I, I enjoy the atmosphere there and, you know, maybe they get a baseball team again. I like the Expos. I love the uniforms too. I remember seeing somebody. Who is it Gordon Levitt. Is he the actor? Joseph Gordon Levitt? Yes. Yeah. I was on a plane with him. He had an Expos hat on. And it seemed just kind of random, but I go, all right. And I did it. I said, hey, I love the hat. He goes, yeah. I don't think he knew what it, the, the significance of it. It just looked kind of hip hop. And he had an. But an Expos had on. I mean, I don't know if he's from Montreal or any. You know, he has baseball in his family or something, but just seemed like a random. All right, I'm gonna give you a little tip of the cap. Yes. Marvin as an Expos hat owner, it's about the style. Like, oh, oh, you missed the Expos. Sure. I mean, I miss seeing this logo a lot more. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Paulie, Going back to Japan in the World Series, that 18 inning game in Japan that was right in the middle of the day. That game started at 9:15 in the morning in Japan and ended at 3:30 in the afternoon. So everyone around there got to see it. I wonder how many people didn't go to work that day. I saw a report that they were broadcasting in schools and letting kids. Yeah, I'm serious. There's photos on CNN about kids in schools in Japan. Got to watch Ohtani. I would still love to have an afternoon. There should be one World Series game in the afternoon. And maybe when we get the commissioner on, I'll say, can we make it a holiday? Can we do that? How about we have afternoon World Series game? And I know they talk about revenue and the tv, you know, all that stuff. I get that, but I Not everything has to be about the money. It shouldn't. I know, relax. I know. Here's another one. I, I mentioned this a while ago a couple of years ago that the goal for these TV executives was to bring you closer to the action. If you weren't going to be at the game. Oh, we're going to bring you right to the sidelines, we're going to bring you into the huddle, we're going to mic up players, we're going to take you into the dugout and we're going to interview the manager during the game, like you saw with Tom Verducci and Dave Roberts. We're going to talk to the coach as he goes off the field at halftime. I don't need it. I got, if you give me sound like sound is what brings me closer. And when, when you have these microphones that will pick up when somebody is, you know, going to the bag, they slide into second. You're hearing things on the field. But I don't, I don't need an interview. Remember people used to make fun of the sideline reporter and then what have we done? We've added more sideline reporters there and look, I'm all for people getting an opportunity and getting paid and having a job like this, but as a viewer, Tom Bernucci talking to Dave Roberts now, the access was wonderful because Dave is very accommodating, but I just, I don't need those things. And it feels like, what do we do? How can we give you. Now we have, I think it's what NBC and Peacock have. Like Austin Rivers is on the bench. Robbie Hummel, former college player, they're on the bench with a microphone. There's that, that's the sideline. Like how can you be a player coach and thinking you can talk on the sidelines and you got a reporter there, do you have to say, hey, off the record, God, that was a terrible. You know, you're a bomb, you know, whatever you, I don't know, I think we gotta be careful of infringing too much. Yes, Todd, perhaps it's mean spirited on my part, but when I see those things, I root for something huge to happen in the game. Right while they're in the middle of just having this little chat and someone just blasts a three run homer and ruins the whole thing and realizing we can't be doing this while a live moment is happening. But I like the All Star game when they mic up the player. I do. But that's an exhibition game. This is the World Series. I as much as you know, Verducci is great and a caretaker of the game, and Dave Roberts is accommodating. I just want to watch the game. I. I don't. And you know, those coaches going off the sidelines. We had Bill Cower on, and he's like, oh, I hated it. You know, hey, what adjustments you're going to make, many of them I'm not going to tell you. Like, I mean, he was saying, I didn't want to say anything to anybody. Coach, they ran for 450 yards in the first half. What do we need to do different? Stop them from running so much. All right, thank you, coach. Yeah, but the sound and the picture, the quality is so much better. By the way, Paulie was telling me that NBC paid more money to get a better signal or more power to make their picture better. So people have noticed that NBC having the NBA rights this year, the broadcast have felt very slick and professional because NBC has always has good production value. So some people are noticing that the actual picture on their TV is better than other broadcasts. And there's some truth to that. When NBC redid some studios, they went to this, like 1080p type stuff instead of 720. And so some of the games you see on NBC in comparison to TNT last year or even espn, the actual picture quality you're getting from them is better than other networks. And so it's not just, you think it's better. It actually is. And it's a conscious effort by NBC with their new digital studios, and some reporters were asking about it. It's a real story. It's not just a coincidence. Okay, but why wouldn't other networks do this? Cost. So you can only afford so many broadcasts with this higher level of signal. Yeah, and NBC does not have like 200 NBA games. They have, you know, they were able to do it within. If you notice Notre Dame games has the same thing. If you notice the signal during a Notre Dame football game on NBC, it might feel a bit crisper than a random college football game you'll see on other networks. I haven't noticed it. I mean, now I'll try to. Fans were tweeting about it on social media the past two weeks with NBC as a compliment. And some reporters actually delved into it and said there's reality behind us with the production value. All right, let me take a break. When we come back, we'll hear from Michael Jordan. He talked about load management in his sit down with Mike Tirico. We're back after this. In the Dan Patrick show.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells and they called these ostrakan to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the ostracon. And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golfo de Mexico. No, the America. No, the America. El Golfo de Mexico continua haciendo a si forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights.

I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s.

I'm Ben Westoff, and this is the Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri university and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide just weeks apart. In shockingly similar ways, both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down and proceeded. I tilted his head back and proceeded to get him mouth to mouth in cpr. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt, but when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Grossheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky, or was something much darker at play?

He's the third player in NBA history to score at least 174 points through the first five games of his season. And he joined Steph and Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt Chamberlain had 174. Steph Curry 179 points there. Brought to you by Panini America. Austin Reeves, I think has 143 points after three games. So he could actually join the list with Steph Curry, Will Chamberlain and Shea Gilgis if he has a big night tonight or their next game. But I think he's got 143 points in three games. Kids, let me tell you about the old days. I got to see Wilt Chamberlain, Steph Curry, Steph Curry and Austin Rivers in person. Austin Reeves. Yeah. All right. Michael Jordan did his sit down. Well, I think it's just a one time only. Mike Tirico visits Michael Jordan in Florida and they go over a variety of topics. I'm assuming that's what this is going to be. I hope it's not. I hope it it's timelier. Then we can talk bigger pictures like you know, this story, this player, something that happened and you can get his reaction to it. Not in real time, but let's say once a month. Chirico is able to go there. I hope it's not just a one and done where you sit for Mike. Sit Mike for three hours and you go over a variety of topics. But he did talk about load management last night. What do you think of when you hear the term load management thrown around? Well, it shouldn't be needed. I never wanted to miss a game because it was an opportunity to prove it was something that I felt like, you know, the fans are there that watch me play. I want to impress that guy way up on top who probably worked his ass off to get a ticket or to get money to buy the ticket. You really cared about the guy who sat in the top deck at the palace in Auburn Hills to watch you when you came to Detroit. Yeah. Cause I know he's probably yelling at me and I don't want to shut him up. You know, he's calling me all kinds of names. I definitely want to shut him up. Right. You have a duty that if they're wanting to see you and as an entertainer, I want to show, right? So if the guys are coming to watch me play, I. I don't want to miss that opportunity physically. If I can't do it, then I can't do it. Okay, there's no news here because Mike wanted to play. These guys, they're not going to be like, man, do you hear what Jordan said? Now let's play 75 games. That's not going to happen. I'm sure the NBA love this too, because the NBA is trying to get these players to play more games. They're not going to do it. There's too much money to be made. And if you can somehow sit out instead of playing through something and it extends your career, you're going to do that because the amount of money that's there. Would we like you to play 75 games? Yes. Would we like you to get paid for each game you play? Yes, we would. Wait till somebody is making a million dollars a game and they decide to sit out two games. Wait till that happens. They're going to rest. Now you can say you're tweaked something, okay? We have. We have to believe you. But, you know, you get load management with these guys. LeBron, a couple of years ago, I thought was trying to prove, hey, I'm going to play 70 games. I think he played 71 and 72. Hey, at my age, look at me. But then, you know, like the prior five years to that, there were some seasons where he's playing 50 games, 55 games, and he's one of the best. Well, it's probably been in better shape than any other athlete, but Mike didn't make any head. If Michael said, hey, I understand load management, I don't blame them. Now you're getting a headline. But for Mike. Now, I was kind of surprised that Mike Tirico did ask the question because, I mean, it's a topic. But, you know, when I had the commissioner on and I said, you got to do mandatory. You got to. Or minimum games. You got to have 65 games to qualify for postseason honors. And then he did it. Now, there's some people who weren't happy about it, still aren't happy about it, but I'm trying to get the most out of a product. I'm trying to be able to see these players instead of you tune in and you go, wait, where's Steph Curry, he's out. All right, I'm out too. I hate to see it now. I don't want you playing through something, you know, that could be severe. And yes, I grew up in a completely different era where I never ever thought about that. I never thought, oh my gosh, you know, he's going to sit out because why Back to back games, okay, today's athlete is in better shape, Travel is better, nutrition is better, all of that. But they're sitting out more games like Kawhi Leonard. I mean, when he plays, I go, I'll be damned. Kawhi played. That's not good for the league for what he gets paid. And I know he's a Hall of Famer, but to me he's never been must see tv. He doesn't talk about the game. I don't know if he loves the game. I, I can say he's good businessman, but like, I don't go, oh, let me see Kawhi lock somebody up or hit a 15 foot jumper and just not interested in it. But I would still like to see him play for the benefit of the Clippers. But Jordan saying that last night didn't have any impact. It just feels like whatever Mike says, okay, it's going to make a headline or people are going to talk about it because Mike doesn't talk about these things. I just don't want to be talking about broad topics. I want to make sure that, like I'd love to know what Mike thinks about Victor Wembanyama right now, but you know, you do the interview a month ago or two months ago, there's. I want timely Michael Jordan. I don't want a documentary where he's sitting in a chair of a cigar and you know, tequila, I'd love. I thought this was going to be what Kobe did in details because I thought it was fascinating because I'm watching Kobe break down plays, players, teams, and it felt like it was more immediate. And that's what I would like to get out of Michael Jordan. I don't know if it's going to be that way. I hope that, you know, Tirico goes there and sits down and they wear different clothes and then they're going to be able to talk about some things that have happened in the season so far. Yes, Marv, I'm with you because I would love to see Michael Jordan's thoughts on somebody like Shea Gilgis Alexander, a great two guard, a great score, just to see how he differs and how he just sees the game in, in Comparison to what Shay, Gil Alexander does. Yeah, because Mike might be saying, you see how he draws contact here. He shoots a lot of free throws that like, I would love to do that. Where I'd say to Mike, hey, tell me what you see with Shea Gilas. How would you defend him? What is he getting away with? Because he is getting away with, you know, pushing off. But great players get away with. Mike got away with it. Magic Bird, run down the list, they all got away with something. But I would love to know what Mike sees in that. I'd love for him to, you know, break down Luca, Any of these younger players would be great. It'd be a lot of fun. But I think that's the one thing that will miss out of this is, is Michael. But it doesn't feel like it's immediate. Yeah, Morv. Yeah. I would just love to hear Tirico ask him, hey, what similarities do you see in Anthony Edwards? Because people were talking about Anthony Edwards being the closest thing to Michael Jordan and what Mike sees. Yeah, Paulie, going back to load management, it's one of those phrases where collectively everyone hates it. We talk about it, we put it at a poll. Is there any chance though that if you had a do over, you kind of would wish that load management was around in the 80s and 90s? Would Larry Bird have played till 35 instead of 31? Would, you know, like Steph Curry right now? Is 37, still playing great basketball? The first half of his career he played 75 plus games all the time. The second half, it's close to like 65 to 70. Is that the reason Steph Curry is not retired right now? And could that be like, would you rather have Larry Bird for 10 years for 80 games or 13 years for 75 games? Yeah, I'd rather have a couple more years with him. I wonder, you know, it's hard to say, but would it have been better for guys like that to occasionally do that? Well, they had injuries. Bird had a bad back. Right. But Steve Nash had a bad back. But did they, did Bird exacerbate it? Because it's, it's my back. I'll play through a couple nights. No, because that's the way he played. Yeah, he couldn't change the way he played. That's the problem. Steve Nash, maybe you get a couple more years. Remember Nash on the. When he was out of a game, he'd have to stretch the entire time. The number of players last year who played 80 or more games. Todd, you want to guess? Don't have Anything. What? Who played more than 80 games? Yeah. Oscar Robertson? No. 11. Marvin, how many players played at least 80 games last year? 17. I thought you said all time. What was it? Marvin? 17. Okay. Seaton? 25. 22. 2011 times two is 22. No, Todd, no. Sit down. Go back to 2014, it was 53 players. Go back to 2004, it was 72. Back to 1994 it was 83 players. And back to 84 it was 77 players. So this is certainly a trend. I understand it. It's just. It's difficult to tune into something. It'd be like going to a Broadway show and the person you're going to go see has a stand in. Are you going to stay for the Broadway show? Okay, I got no other choice. I've already bought tickets to this or tuning in to watch a movie and the star is not there. But we've talked to the commissioner about it. I don't think there's a solution because the NFL or the NBA Player association is not going to let you implement some kind of pay for play system where you get your paycheck when you show up to work. That's not going to happen because I can't force you to play. Yes, Mark. The closest thing is like you suggested that Adam Silver implemented was the 65 minimum games to where you can get an all NBA selection or MVP or anything like that. Fred in South Carolina. Hi, Fred. What's on your mind today? Good morning. DP in the. Dan. It's brother Dan. You were. You were always on target and. Right. This stuff about the load management, you know. Yeah, I agree with you. I want to show up and pay all that money and the guy not be there. And the other thing you talked earlier the first hour about palm and the ball. That goes back to Alan Irving way back in the Knicks days. Right. Allen Iverson with the Sixers. Yes, but thank you, Fred. Yeah. John Stockton to me was one of the first guys that I saw do that where he was palming the ball, carrying the ball. But it's here to stay. I just. Next time I have the commissioner on and there's no gambling situation going on, I want to say there is a rule for this. Why don't we use the rule. There is a rule for traveling. Just tell me we're not calling traveling anymore or we're not going to call carrying the basketball anymore. And if that's the case. Okay. Yes. Do we really want to go back to hand on top of the ball like you're patting someone on the head, though. Well, I think that there's a happy medium there. Well, this is egregious. Right, but the, the happy medium is a gray area of is it or isn't it? Well, are you carrying the ball or not? I think if the ball is suspended in midair, you're carrying it like a magic trick. Yeah, it's like. And then I start to dribble again. It's. Everything's gray area when you think about a call. Is that holding? That's gray area. Is that past interference? That's gray area. Is that traveling? That's great. I mean, yeah, but that's why, like, holding should just be allowed. I agree. You should just let them do it. Everyone is holding on every play. But you just decided to call this one. That's stupid. Or put them all in mittens. I agree. We've tried to do that, but we don't talk to this commissioner. No, he doesn't talk to us. So I can't say, hey, how about linemen have to wear mittens? No more talk at him. Yes, we do. I'm told he gets the message. I'm told. But he comes on when I'm not here. That's so technically he's been on the show. I'm going to take a day off and then maybe Ross Tucker can get the commissioner on. I'll give Ross some, quote, questions to ask the commissioner. Why do you hug guys at the draft? Too long, too hard. Nick in Florida. Hi, Nick. What's on your mind today? Morning, Dan. Six foot one seventy. I am ready to overreact. Four games in and my Miami Heat had their second 140 point plus game last night. Jaime Hawkes Jr. 28 points, 9 of 14, 8 for 8 from the line. He is out of the sophomore slump in his third year. And you guys were talking hot sauce earlier. Put some sriracha on an egg sandwich. Underrated. Thank you. Thank you, Nick. Apparently your Miami Heater underrated. That's a hot take, Sriracha. Oh, okay. I see what you did. See what you did. By the way, I think it should be Jaime Hawkes Jr. The herd. If you're going all, all. Jaime Hawke is junior. It's former UCLA Bruin. Yeah. Pat Riley knows how to draft. Yeah, he does. He does. He does. He knows how to. He knows how to find those players. That was always weird that I never had a relationship with Pat Riley. Even when I was working at the Mothership, even when I was covering the NBA finals with Jack Ramsey. He. He didn't Give me the time of the day. He couldn't care. And then we go to Dan LeBatard's wedding, my wife and I. And I walk in and I see Pat Riley is there with his wife. And then my wife goes, who is that? Like, you know, had his hair slicked back, you know, the whole thing. I go, that's Pat Riley. I said, don't have. Don't have a relationship with him. She goes, did you say anything? I go, no, no, no. I just. I don't know. We never connected, and it's like, you know, whatever. And she. So I'm. I'm standing at the bar with my back turn. All of a sudden, Pat Riley comes over with his wife and goes, dan, great to see you. How are you? Now my wife is like, wait a minute, this guy didn't like him. And Pat introduces me to his wife, we start talking, and I, you know, complimented him on his roster and blah, you know, all this stuff and his hair and his championships and all those things, and he could not have been nicer. And then my wife blames me. Like, you know, you kind of painted a picture like this guy hates you. I go, no, I don't. Just didn't think he knew me, acknowledge me. Even when they won a championship and I'm there in south beach when the Heat win a championship with D. Wade and Shaq. No, we. You know, even. I'd see Pat Ryan. I go, hi, Pat. He'd go, hi. That was it. But yeah, it was one of those where you go, all right, okay. Hey, Pat. Now that's one of those. If I see him again. And I go, hey, Pat. Be like, hey, yes, Marvin. Pat Riley, best dress coach ever. Yeah, yeah, you'd be hard pressed. Like, now, guys don't want to, like, they dress like we do, you know, you know, have a track suit on or, you know, there's no suit and tie anymore. Quarter zips. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Riles. Riles was a thing back then. Like, that was a. Who still is. Yes, it is. Oh, yeah. But watching him on the sidelines. Yeah. Because he was a former player and that suit looked great. Hair looked great. And he. He meant business. What a competitor. And still is. Yes. Marv. Yeah, he seems like one of those guys when he was dressed up, you wouldn't realize as a player, he was a gritty and gutty guy. Yes. And he wanted to play like the knicks in the 90s, not like the Showtime Lakers. The Knicks in the 90s were really how he wanted to play. Let's fight. That was terrible. Such bad basketball that people clamor for. Let's go back to the 90s. Are you sure? No. You sure? The 8379, they moved it three point line in because people were shooting the ball so terribly. All right, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. Update the poll results as well. We're back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells and they called these ostracon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the ostracon. And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golfo de Mexico. No, the America. No, the America. El Golfo de Mexico continuing forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.

I'm Ben Westoff, and this is the Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri university. And the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide just weeks apart. In shockingly similar ways, both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down and proceeded. I tilted his head back and proceeded to get him mouth to mouth in cpr. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt. But when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Grossheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky, or was something much darker at play? Listen to the Peacemaker podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there.

Get to more of your phone calls coming up. Keith in Virginia Beach. Keith, what's on your mind today? Hi Dan. Six one hard 245. Real quick, Dan, I'm the one that called in a couple of months ago and I told you that I was having an issue with my garage. My wife and my mother in law is taking it over. I suck therapy behind it and unfortunately I'm seeking legal counsel. I try to use you as my representation but they weren't going for it. So I'll keep you updated on that. So you got booted out of your man cave. Yes, I told you it's not a cave in this man and it's just a case. There's no man. So is there a GoFundMe page that we could come up with, get you back in? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And if we do that, then we possibly can, you know, get this train on the right track. So I'll keep you updated on that and I'll look out for that. And also real quick, you, one of your, one of your guys who's working McLovin made an argument about system quarterbacks and I tend to agree with McLovin because I have to feel, really feel that some of these quarterbacks are a product of a system such as Nino last year which got him the job at the Raiders. Sam Donald when he left got Minnesota and also Baker Mayfield. So when McLovin brought up the argument, even when Joe Montana of ripped them about that, I don't believe that you kind of supported me lovin on that. So I want to know do you feel the same way then or do you have your feelings changed? I hang up a listen. All right, well you can run a system. Joe Montana ran a system. But then other Niner quarterbacks ran the system and they weren't Joe Montana. Steve Young ran the system and became a Hall of Famer. Jim Druckenmiller ran the same system. That's Randall. Yes. So yes. Do you run a system? Does Sean McVeigh have a system? Yes. Kyle Shanahan has a system. There are these offensive minded head coaches who have systems. Does that make you a system quarterback? Yes. But you can run the system. You can run it at a good level, great level, hall of Fame level, or maybe an average Level the system is in place. What you do with the system dictates how good you are. Sean in Indianapolis. Hi, Sean. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. I'm talking about load management and I was thinking about it because I have a couple boys that play travel basketball and they just play so many games. And I'm wondering if I don't like load management just because I like to be able to go to the game and see the stars. But I'm just thinking with all the AAU sports and all the games that they're playing, just growing up at a high level, before they even get to the NBA, they're just beating up their bodies. And I talked to some orthopedic surgeons and they share how they're seeing injuries on some of these kids that are 17, 18, 19 years old that they used to see in 27, 28, 29 year olds. So I mean, I do understand what little bit of low management, but I mean it's, there's just so many games before they even get to that high of a level. Yeah, you know, the NBA can't do anything about this. It doesn't happen in the NFL. Like, it's rare if you, you find that somebody is load managing. Are there too many games they load manage in major league baseball. When's the last time you said how many games is such and such playing? How it doesn't happen. You don't do that to baseball players. We do it to basketball players, football players. Everybody's trying to play week in and week out for the most part. If your team secures a home playoff throughout, you know, the advantage of home field, maybe you sit out for a game or two, but we don't do this for baseball. And they're getting paid a lot of money as well. Yeah, yeah. Like football as a sport, load manages itself. You basically play until you get hurt. And like, all right, put the next guy out there and you're just a lot of players. I'm not saying that no one has any value, but they're treated like pretty as disposable parts. Like, all right, then the next guy goes, then who cares? And go back in that tent and put the next guy in. Nobody cares. But you're paying these NBA players. Once again, we're going to get, in the next couple of years, somebody's going to make $100 million in, in a season. $100 million in a season. And that's when we're going to look at load management. That's when there's Going to be an outcry. You got all these, you know, TV network, spending all this money. There's only so much money like it. A certain percentage has to go to the players. So these guys are going to be making all of this money. And I understand. I would never have done load management growing up. I would never, I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to understand that. Now should I have done that? I needed knee surgery when I was 15 years of age and held off doing that. And I still have knee issues. Now I have a replacement knee. And I tell parents when asked about it, I do not volunteer this, but I do say, make sure you manage. You know, the number of innings that you're throwing as a 12 year old. Like these are things that come back to haunt you. I had to have shoulder surgery, torn labrum. You know, the. There, there's an accumulation that happens. But you, it's individual. You have to know your, your child and just be careful because your body's not done growing. And we treat them like they are. Yes. Sometimes I look at players, say in the NBA and maybe it, I don't know if this is a comparison, but I'm not, I'm not a like vintage or luxury car buyer. But the same reason that, say you might spend 250, that a person might spend $250,000 on a car and then keep it in their garage the whole time. And only they don't use that as their daily driver. You know, the, the logic of I'm paying this player all this money, so now I need to run him into the ground because of all that. Well, you, maybe they're not your daily driver. Maybe you use them as much as you need to so that you don't devalue it. You don't run it into the ground. Yeah, but I gotta get, I gotta get value out of you. You still are. You're still getting plenty of value out of them. Not with, not with what you got guys making $50 million that you have no idea who they are. I'm not getting any value out of some of these guys. Now your top end guys, I want you for the postseason. That's the most important thing. And Greg Popovich was doing this before anybody was and that, you know, they weren't exorbitant in salaries then. He knew that the goal was to win championships. How many teams can have that goal? Five, seven. Take a break. More phone calls coming up. We'll recap what happened last night. Look ahead to some of the matchups. Coming up this weekend, big Thursday night game.

Sign up for free@lenovo.com hello America's sweetheart. Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless Hillbilly Heist from smartless Media, campside media and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're sitting like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People, do not follow my example.

The Dan Patrick Show – Hour 2: Canadian Baseball Is Huge, More MJ October 29, 2025 | Host: Dan Patrick and the Danettes
This episode centers on the global impact and appeal of this year's World Series—especially the Toronto Blue Jays' role in igniting Canadian and Japanese baseball fandom, alongside Shohei Ohtani's international resonance. Dan and the Danettes also debate the state of live sports broadcasting and analyze Michael Jordan's recent comments on load management in the NBA, reflecting on generational changes in player mentality and the fan experience.
Canadian Viewership Surge
Japanese Interest
World Series Scheduling & Accessibility
Montreal Expos Nostalgia
Sideline Access in Broadcasting
Quality of Sports Broadcasts
Jordan’s Ethos
Modern NBA Dynamics
Potential for Better Use of Jordan's Platform
Comparisons and the Broader Debate
Dan Patrick (on the World Series reach):
"It’s truly a World Series... you got Canada, you got United States, you got Japan as well in there with Shohei Ohtani." [09:50]
Michael Jordan (on playing every night):
"I never wanted to miss a game... I want to impress that guy way up on top who probably worked his ass off to get a ticket..." [35:34]
Dan Patrick (on sideline access):
"I don’t need an interview... I'm all for people getting an opportunity... but as a viewer, I just want to watch the game." [15:57]
Paulie (on NBC upgrades):
"Some of the games you see on NBC... the actual picture quality... is better than other networks... it’s a conscious effort." [22:00]
The hour is conversational, playful, and sometimes nostalgic—with Dan’s signature mix of stats, storytelling, and critique. The Danettes contribute humor with quick asides; callers provide fan perspective; and Dan drives the deeper debates on sports business, culture, and transitions from past to present.
