2. An insightful, candid interview with new NBC/Peacock analyst and former MVP Joey Votto about broadcasting, the Hall of Fame, and his take on the steroid era.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Golf Course Showdown: Shirt Tails vs. "Golf Bros"

[02:31–14:04 | 25:20–15:13]

• Dress Code Drama:
  Dan shares a story about golfing with the "backroom guys"—Dylan, Ray, and Mario. While at his long-time country club (a laidback, blue-collar place), another group of golfers aggressively told Ray to "tuck in your shirt" ("Hey, buddy, tuck in your shirt." – recounted by Dan, [04:13]).

  • Dylan and Dan note: the tone ("buddy") was more problematic than the content.
  • Ray is rattled and worried they'll get Dan in trouble.

• Music Hypocrisy:
  Dan points out the "golf bros" were blasting music, undermining their "etiquette" stance:

  "These guys were also blasting music. I don’t need music when I play golf… If we’re talking about unprofessional…” – Dan Patrick [05:30]

• Who Enforces Etiquette?
  A debate on whether it’s another player's job to police the dress code:

  • Paulie: "Is it the job of another foursome to enforce that?" [07:20]
  • Dan recalls a similar incident with his son, and reinforces that etiquette complaints should ideally come from staff, not regular players.

• Delivery Matters:
  Joey Votto (now present in-studio) weighs in:

  "Do you think it was the way he told Ray… If you do it nicely, it's a different animal." – Joey Votto [07:37]

• Club vs. Clubhouse Standards:
  Consensus: strict rules sometimes make sense inside the clubhouse, but are silly on the course—especially among regulars.

• Working with the Pro:
  Dan tells the head pro about the incident to “get ahead” in case he faced complaints.

• Comedy in the Face of Conflict:
  The Danettes joke about whether to respond or escalate, ultimately opting for self-deprecating humor. They finish 14 holes, opting to "duck in and go get some beers" to avoid confrontation ([10:56]).

• Callers Weigh In:
  Listeners share their takes—emphasizing that delivery, again, is key.

  "If you tell someone, tuck your shirt in, that's gonna get contentious. But if you're cool about it... it diffuses it." – Drew in Columbus [14:13]

2. On Chris Simms’ Quarterback Rankings and Tom Brady’s Legacy

[14:49–19:47]

• Quarterbacks as the System:
  Dan and callers debate Chris Simms ranking Tom Brady 9th all-time, dissecting arguments around coaching, defenses, and “playing within the system.”

  • Dan: “System quarterback? He is the system.” [15:56]
  • Discussion pivots on whether it’s fair to penalize Brady for his supporting cast.

• Memories and Stats:
  The Danettes try (and fail) to recall random NFL running backs from classic Patriots games, using the anecdote to highlight the rotating cast supporting elite QBs.

3. Joey Votto: From Ballplayer to Broadcaster

[26:41–41:41]

• Broadcasting Nerves:
  Votto, making his analyst debut alongside Bob Costas, candidly admits his jitters:

  "A bit nervous. I don't know how you prepare for this. I've never done this before... The only thing I can offer is my on-field experience." – Joey Votto [26:41]

• Approach to Broadcasting:

  • Dan’s advice: “Get in, make your point and get out. I always believe in brevity.” [28:09]
  • Votto’s balance: how to be honest about players’ mistakes without burning bridges. He's told by NBC: "Don’t couch it. Be yourself... I was ruthless [as a player]." [28:38]
  • Dan: “You're serving the audience, not the guys you're commenting on.” [29:41]

• Modern Analyst’s Role:

  • Votto’s goal is to provide insider observations–the “little things”—that enhance the audience’s understanding.
  • Reflection: “We are here to serve the fans … by making sure that I'm speaking the truth that I see and not being apologetic.” [30:28]

• Hall of Fame and Cheating Debate

  • Votto’s take on the steroid era:

    “I think we should paint that generation with one brush because we don’t know who’s telling the truth and we don’t know who isn’t … It’s unfair if a few guys aren’t allowed in because they just happen to be better.” – Joey Votto [31:46]

  • Dan pushes on recognizing cheating, referencing Bonds and Clemens, and the idea of putting the story on their Hall of Fame plaque. Votto pushes back, saying fans can make up their own mind.

  • Votto brings nuance to “what’s fair” given widespread substance use, including amphetamines in prior eras.

  • On Pete Rose:

    "It's crucial that our sport is viewed as neutral … walk into a MLB clubhouse, you know that gambling is completely unallowed." – Joey Votto [39:18]

4. Dan Patrick Announces His Retirement Date

[45:53–46:40]

• Dan shares that his final show will be the Friday before the Super Bowl in Atlanta, February 11, 2028.
• "Now, two days before that, I say goodbye. … That would be my last show that Friday in Atlanta. February 11th." – Dan Patrick [45:53]

5. Lighter Moments, Call-Ins, and Danettes Banter

[41:13, 48:27]

• The "most interesting man in the world" beer commercial guy stories.

• Callers continue to riff on golf etiquette, worst greetings (e.g., “big guy,” “bud,” or “buddy”), and music on the course—Dylan jokes the “golf bros” seemed like Drake fans ([49:45]).

• Dan summarizes his old-man take:

  "I’m bothered more by loud music, and I love music, but I’m playing golf. … I find that more egregious than somebody who’s got their shirt tail out." [49:53]

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports radio.

[Dan Patrick]

Hour two. It's a meat Friday. I feel like I'm playing whack a mole with the Danets. Fritzi pops up and then smack him. Then Dylan, then Paulie. Marvin's been on his best behavior. I think he had a pretty good first hour. The other three, I don't know if I'm giving out grades C, C minus, but then Paulie says, c's get degrees stat of the day. Brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Baseball Coming up on Sunday night, NBC and Peacock, it'll be the Yankees in Philadelphia. Good morning. If you're watching on peacock this program, I did play golf with some of the Danets backroom guys. Dylan, of course, was there. We had big day. Ray and Mario, the eyes and ears of the show. So we went to my golf course where I've belonged for over 25 years. And you know, they kind of leave me alone. Everybody treats me the way they treat everybody else there, like, okay, hi, how are you? Hey, you know, country club wave. Hey, how are you? Good to see you. Okay. So I bring these guys out and you know, we're kind of a ragtag group there. You know, nobody had their shirt tails tucked in. No belts, no, you know, but that's okay. I don't know. This isn't a high end country club. It's blue collar, nice people that I've known a long time. So we're out playing and all of a sudden Ray, who's the producer for the gambling podcast, does a lot of things here. He hears a guy go, hey, buddy, tuck in your shirt.

[Dylan]

Buddy's a tough start already.

[Dan Patrick]

So these are guys behind us and they're younger. Well, they're probably your guys ages. And so big day. Ray goes, okay. And he realized that he couldn't say anything. You know, it's my place and this guy could probably beat up Ray. So Ray's rattled the whole rest of the back nine and nobody's playing. Well, then I, you know, I tuck my shirt tail in a little bit. It's, you know, I swing and the shirt tail comes out. It's, you know, I'm swinging for the fences. So it's bothering everybody. That they don't have their shirt tail tucked in. They think that they're gonna get me in trouble. And I said, it's okay. So I come in today, and Ray doesn't have his shirt tail tucked in. And I said, hey, buddy, why don't you tuck in your shirt tail? And then it brought up bad memories because Ray, who's actually a decent golfer, melted down yesterday on the golf course. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, he. He was hitting his ball out of. We'll call it some trouble. And he walked back over, and I was like, dude, what is wrong? He was like, these guys over there, I know, said, buddy, tuck your shirt.

[Dan Patrick]

But here's a problem I have. Okay, I get it. Etiquette and tuck in your shirt, too. These guys were also blasting music. I don't need music when I play golf. So if we're talking about unprofessional, in my opinion, why don't you turn off your music while, you know, we're. We're swinging? So. Okay, I don't have my shirt tail. And I even talked to the head pro. I said, jake, I might get, you know, yelled at or somebody's gonna bring me up on charges here. And he goes, for what? I go, I had my shirt tail. And he goes, okay. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I personally like the mute. I don't mind having, like, musical speaker out there. Whatever. I think just like you're. You don't work for the club. Don't. You don't need to be policing other people. It's like you don't actually care. You're just trying to be annoying.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. This isn' Wing Foot or Baltus Roll or, you know, Augusta. I mean, it's a country club. It's okay. I mean, we're not a fancy place, but we're, you know, it's a great place. It's a hang.

[Dylan]

Yeah. Good vibes.

[Dan Patrick]

All of a sudden, I got, you know. So now, you know, these guys are speeding up because I think they really want to get into our grill and, you know, yell at us for not having our churn tails tucked in. And I was going to say, if it meant I was going to play better golf, I would have it tucked in. But you know what? It kind of goes along with my game. It's sloppy. Yes. Paulie.

[Paulie]

I'm looking up a couple things on golf course etiquette. Now. Ray had a polo shirt untucked with shorts, right?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

So he had a collared shirt.

[Todd]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

Like, he was wearing jeans or something like that. I'm looking up. They Prefer you at private clubs to have your shirt tucked in. Prefer.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I get it. I understand it.

[Paulie]

But is it the job of another foursome to enforce that?

[Dan Patrick]

It's happened before. One other time there they yelled at my son. And I told the guy, how about I. I parent my son, okay. But this guy was. He was really bothered by it. Yes.

[Joey Votto]

Mark, do you think it was the way he told Ray to tuck in his shirt? Like, if you do it nicely, it's a different animal. Because that happens on the lot.

[Dan Patrick]

All he had to do was say, hey, just to remind you guys, you know, they, they kind of have a dress etiquette here, dress code, have your shirt tail in. And then, you know, that probably would have been fine. I would say, hey, guys, you know, tuck in your shirt tails for the. At least the next hole. Yes. Dylan.

[Dylan]

They looked like four dudes who would happily talk to you about, like, SpaceX stock for four hours. That was sort of the vibe that they gave.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Dylan kept making these, you know, snarky comments like, oh, yeah, why don't you have a. Another hedge fund something? I'd be like, good, come back.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

The Dow's down today.

[Dylan]

Sorry, I'm in a bad mood.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, yes, Tom.

[Todd]

It's not raised nature, but could he have said, when you guys lower the music a little bit, I'll tuck my shirt in? Or would that have been come to

[Dan Patrick]

blows kind of wording now? That I don't know. Because Ray did say, that guy could really, you know, hurt me. And he was right. But I would have said, if he said, hey, bro, can you tuck in your shirt? I would say, turn down your music. I can't hear you. And then I would say, okay. Etiquette. Yes. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I think Ray was like, I was going to say something back to him, but the guy could snap me in half. So I decided not to.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we're not a formidable group. Yeah. But I did tell the head pro, just so he knew, in case somebody came in. And all of a sudden, you know, I'm brought up on charges that I remember when David Duvall would wear the collarless, like, turtleneck type thing.

[Paulie]

Yeah. Mock turtleneck.

[Dan Patrick]

And everybody was going crazy. I'm like, it's okay. Now we can wear. Why can I wear a dress shirt out and not tuck that in? But if I get on a golf course, I can't have a golf shirt out. I mean, I'm out there and I'm swinging. I'm swinging hard. That. That shirt cannot hold me. Yes. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

That's like one of the hacks is like, you know those kind of like the sort of form fitting, thin hoodie, like the sort of sport hoodie thing.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Dylan]

You'll wear that because, like, your shirt will kind of naturally, like sit in the bottom of it so it looks like you're tucked in, but you're not actually tucked in.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Then that. With a sport coat. Yeah, yeah. Yes.

[Joey Votto]

Marvin, what's the worst way to start off addressing somebody? Buddy, Chief, pal, Champ, Pal.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, pal.

[Paulie]

Pal means we want to go.

[Dylan]

Pal's a good one.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, but the way the guy said it, hey, buddy. And I thought Ray knew him, so I didn't. I didn't even notice it really, until we got up on the tee and he goes, oh, man, that guy could have snapped me in half. He wants me to tuck it in my shirt. I go, okay. So we tucked in our shirt in the front and I left mine out in the back.

[Paulie]

Party in the back.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I was like, okay, how much do I have to tuck in before you're satisfied, you have to complete the process.

[Dylan]

I think we did wave at them too, with our only. Our front stuck.

[Dan Patrick]

We did. Yeah. And then we quit after 14 holes. I think we were worried they were going to catch up to us.

[Caller/Guest]

We're.

[Dan Patrick]

Like I said, let's just duck in and go get some beers, man.

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paulie, these guys could be right and wrong. How they did it there. I think they're kind of right about tucked in shirts at a private golf course. However, you're not the enforcement police. You can calmly say it to someone or. And if they give you a hassle, then you tell the officials. Knock them out.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

What if Ray would have said, why don't you make me, tough guy? Then where do we go?

[Joey Votto]

What do you do?

[Todd]

How do you keep things.

[Dan Patrick]

That wouldn't have gone well. That wouldn't have gone well.

[Dylan]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Still.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I. Paul's point is sort of mine as well, where it's like, that's like, don't. You don't work there. If someone from the club wants to, like, don't be a dork. But like, if someone from the club's like, hey, man, tuck in your shirt a bit. Okay. Sure. Not a bunch of goobers.

[Todd]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

You're not the lifeguard on duty here. You're not the ranger. If you want to tell the head pro, hey, Jake, those guys who were out there, they had their shirt tails out. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

All you have to say, if they felt that much of a need to Make a comment. It's like, I don't want you guys to get in trouble. They're very strict here about the shirt being tucked in. And then there's no tough guy, chief, pal, buddy. There's none of that. And you're just saying you might want to tuck your shirt in because they get really upset.

[Dan Patrick]

No, because then I would have said, hey, I've been around here 25 years. This is a chill golf course. And people here now, are there sticklers because they think that, you know, this is Cypress or Pebble beach. And, well, even Pebble Beach, I don't even know if they have police. They have. If you play a five summit Pebble. But I don't know if somebody's driving around saying, hey, tuck your shirt. I get it. I get it. You know, we could have. I think the way they said it, I think we had a problem with that. Hey, bro. Hey, pards. Yes, yes.

[Dylan]

I also think it's like, it's one thing if you're to sort of follow those weird, intricate rules a little more. Like, if you're in the clubhouse, like, obviously, like, you know, take your hat off. Don't be on your phone. Like, those ones make more sense. When we're on the 11th hole and no one's around, you're like, hey, man, your shirt. It's like, come on, dude.

[Dan Patrick]

The back room guys, after we were in Tahoe, they drove over to San Francisco to play Olympic Club. Wonderful course. And of course, the backroom guys, they lost touch with somebody, and then they called Mario. Mario's in the pro shop, and he answers his phone. You're not allowed to have your phone on. Not allowed. You're supposed to take your hat off when you go into the grill room. Like, there's certain things. I get it. I get it. Because there are other people there. Yes, yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

I was on the other side of that phone call, and I was trying to find them. I was like, I'll call Mario. If he doesn't pick up, that means they're probably in the pro shop, but he can help himself. And I heard he picked up. He's like, hey. And I just hear the lady go, sir, can you please take that?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we do not have phones on. No way. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, Couple things here. I'm on the pebble beach website. Their dress code is a bit vague. All golf facilities have no firm dress code. Guests and players are allowed asked to wear golf shirts and equivalent outerwear. Shorts and pants are welcome so long as they are not denim, cargo, or

[Dan Patrick]

sweats yeah, go on, have fun. Have fun. Drew in Columbus. Hi, Drew. What do you have for me?

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning, Van Patrick. I'm on my way to the first tee right now. The club golfer. And the key. The key here is how you deliver that information. If you tell someone, tuck your shirt in, that's gonna get contentious. But if you're cool about it and you're like, hey, man, check your tails. I don't want the ranger to get on you or turn your hat around. I don't want someone from the clubhouse to get on you. It diffuses it, and the problem is solved.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. Thank you, Drew. Yeah, I didn't even mention that hat on backwards. Colin Coward would have had a problem with you, Dylan. You can't be a good golfer if you have your hat on backwards.

[Dylan]

I'm his nightmare.

[Dan Patrick]

Josh in Texas. Hi, Josh. Hey, Josh.

[Caller/Guest]

How's it going?

[Dan Patrick]

Good, good, good, good.

[Caller/Guest]

I just wanted to comment real quick on the Chris Sims rankings. You know, obviously, I see both of your sides of point of views, you know, and of course, this is one of the things we love about sports is having a debate and all that. But remember when Mark Schlerith was on back in football season, he talked about quarterbacks having the ability to play within themselves. He talked about how Kyler Murray wasn't good at it. Well, I think Tom Brady was the best ever at it. And so, you know, I've said this to people in the past. I think people think it's blasphemous to say that Tom Brady was assistant quarterback, But I think in a way, that's true. But it takes humility and a great leader to commit to that. But in their absolute prime, I mean, I'd rather watch Aaron Rodgers play quarterback, but Tom. Tom Brady clearly had the greatest career. So kind of thoughts on that. And then also, quick shout out to Marvin. Have you ever thought about hosting a basketball podcast? Because I think you'd be great person to do that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we've actually talked about that, but thank you, Josh. I would rather watch Aaron Rodgers in his prime than Tom Brady. I'd rather watch Peyton Manning in his prime than Tom Brady. I'd rather watch Joe Montana in his prime than Tom Brady. But if you said game on the line, I'm watching Tom Brady, I'm watching Tom Brady. And sometimes when we say, well, system, quarterback, he is the system. Peyton was the system. John Elway was the system. Aaron Rodgers was the system. Patrick Mahomes is the system, they. They max out the system. But when it comes to Quarterbacks in their prime. If I look at Tom threw for 5,300 yards at age 43. So what was his prime? And he actually had three primes in his career. And you're going to put him ninth.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

Why?

[Dan Patrick]

And then you're going to give me the excuse of, well, he had hall of Fame coach and a great defense. Okay. Peyton Manning had a Hall of Fame coach and an unbelievable offense. So what's the difference? Tom had to create something. How many times did you watch the Patriots play and you go, oh my God, they're just going to run the football. That game with the Patriots playing the Colts, I think, in Indy. And who rushed for 239 yards that day? Remember the running back? Not a big name. Running back. Yes. Todd.

[Todd]

Joseph Adai.

[Dan Patrick]

No, he'd be for the Patriots.

[Paulie]

Jonah Gray.

[Dan Patrick]

It's something like that. Thanks for kind of listening, Todd.

[Todd]

I got a little excited. I thought I had it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. We're still working on Bronco running backs. Who was the guy? This guy came out of nowhere. I think it wasn't Corey Dillon. But the point is they ran the ball. They ran the ball and, you know, this supposed to be a showdown with Tom against Peyton. Yes. Dylan.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Dylan]

Jonas Gray had 201 yards and four touchdowns at the Colts in 2014.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Who knew? But, you know, you had Belichick. Now a quarterback with an ego is going to be like, we're going to run the football. I'm going against Peyton. But Tom, it felt like whatever you need me to do, we can do that. Hey, you want me to make Julian Edelman a slot guy? Okay. And key, hey, we're gonna have Danny Amendola, make him a star. Wes Welker is going to be a star. I. That to me is the hard thing to do. They, they just kept, you know, everything was interchangeable except for Tom. Yes. Mark and Brady's prime may have been

[Joey Votto]

the 10 years he didn't win a Super bowl, like, individually.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I know. And everybody pointed out this yesterday on social media. You forgot about. They got Randy Moss. They got Randy Moss for a fourth round draft pick from the Raiders because the Raiders thought he was done. They were tired of dealing with him. Patriots all of a sudden go, well, I don't know. We'll give you a fourth round pick. Wait, we're going to get Randy Moss for a fourth round pick? Anybody could have gotten him. They got him. But it's not like they developed him. Tom developed all of those receivers. Running backs, for the most part. Corey Dillon had Success with the Bengals. Wes, some success with the Dolphins. I'm getting fired up again. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul again with Brady. He won multiple titles in his 20s, in his 30s, and in his 40s.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I know that's silly.

[Paulie]

I had to double check that.

[Dan Patrick]

Gonna text Chris Sims during the break and yell at him again. All right, Joey Votto. Joey Votto is making his debut as an analyst on NBC. And Peacock, that must be a nice job. You wait till the end of July and you get to make your debut. So we'll talk to Joey Votto. I don't know if he's added anything. I think he's a yoga. A certified yoga instructor, a sushi. A sushi chef. Say that, Todd. Sushi chef. Sushi chef.

[Todd]

Make a fun of my list by see what we're doing here.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I made fun of mine too. Sushi chef. How about we take a break?

[Todd]

Joey of all trades is what he is. That wasn't anything. I don't know why I said that out loud.

[Dan Patrick]

Did we run down the meat Friday yet?

[Dylan]

Not this hour.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, let me. We'll take a break and then we'll tell everybody what we're whipping up today. Joey Votto, your phone calls. All of that coming up right after this.

I'm Nick Turturro. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, the Longest Yard, or Spike Lee's blackkklansman, but I'm also from Queens, which means I know pizza. And on my new podcast, Delivering Happiness with Nick Turturro, I deliver pizza from Prince Street Pizza to a new guest.

[Dylan]

Are you delivering pizza?

[Ari Chambers]

Now?

[Nick Turturro]

Then we sit down for a real conversation. I've shared a slice with everyone from Seth Rollins.

[Joey Votto]

What are you doing?

[Caller/Guest]

My belt.

[Nick Turturro]

To Alex Rodriguez.

[Todd]

Just to let you people know we're

[Nick Turturro]

talking to one of the goats here. To Bill Burr. I don't think I've ever met somebody so exactly out of their mind as I am. And now we even have more great guests coming up, including the great John Turturro. It's called Happiness. Delivering Happiness, Mariano Rivera, and many, many more. Open your free I Heart radio app search Delivering Happiness with Nick Turturro. And listen now.

[Dan Patrick]

If you're watching on Peacock, Tyler answers the phones around here and I walk back. And if Mario can bring up a picture of Tyler, if Tyler can turn around, you can see that. You remember that, that movie. What is it? Johnny. Johnny Mnemonic. Was that with the hair that's all puffy? Do you remember that character? I think that's his name. Johnny Mnemonic. Yeah. Paulie.

[Paulie]

His hair is very up and gelled over.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, yes. So it looks like Tyler is kind of channeling that. Either that or like an old country music singer. Yes. Dylan. Yeah.

[Dylan]

Do not light a match in that room.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yes, Marvin.

[Joey Votto]

If you remember Jimmy Neutron.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, that's it. That's it. Bloop, bloop. Jimmy Neutron. I don't know why it was Johnny Mnemonic. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

There was Johnny Bravo, who had big hair.

[Dan Patrick]

Big hair, too. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

Johnny Mnemonic was Keanu Reeves.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay. So Jimmy Neutron, we somehow make this subtle segue to Joey Vato, the former mvp. He's going to make his big debut alongside Bob Costas. Sunday Night baseball pregame, inside the pitch commentary, a hitter's perspective. Yankees, Phillies, 7 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, how nervous are we?

[Yamanika Saunders]

A bit.

[Joey Votto]

A bit nervous. I don't know how you prepare for this. I've never done this before. I don't know how to speak in general terms about the league about both teams. The only thing I can offer is my on field experience. I'm not sure how I'm going to marry those two at this point.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, you're going to work with the best in the business with Bob Costas. He will set you up to succeed. So I think follow along with how he sets you up. He'll play to your strengths and I think that'll relax you a little bit. You don't have to try. Let Bob do what Bob does.

[Joey Votto]

And I agree with that. I have two responsibilities, the first being the pregame with the great Bob Costas who I just did some MLB Network stuff with. But then in game I work with John Kruch, Joe Girardi and Jason Berletti to do the in game pitch commentary stuff. So both of those are new challenges. I think Bob will team me up, which is, you know, his strength. And then I know how to do the Q and A thing because I've done that for decades in professional baseball. But the in game stuff is probably a thing I'm most worried about because I can feel something. I can see something the people at home cannot see. But how do I articulate that so they can see and feel what I'm feeling? So that's, I've been practicing that on my own and I don't know how to do it yet.

[Dan Patrick]

You pick your spot, get in, make your point and get out. Now I always believe in brevity. Get in, say something if it's that interesting, I'm coming back to you and you're going to be in there with John. Kruck and Crocker is a lot of fun. He, he will have fun. You'll have fun with him. Your personalities will mesh nicely there. But get in, you see something and then get out.

[Joey Votto]

You know, I asked this question of both Joe and John when we were doing the pre game prep and I said, how do you criticize, how do you criticize the athlete in your own way? And Joe said, well, I make a comment and then I, I, I couch it a bit. And John said, I say what I say and I walk away. And, and I'm thinking to myself. And I had, we have great NBC people who are guiding me said don't couch it. Be yourself, be yourself. Be the person you were when you competed. And when I competed, I may have come off as kind and nice. I may have been affable publicly, but I was ruthless behind the scenes, especially with myself. And there was no, it was binary, it was 0 or 1. I either did it Correctly or I did it incorrectly. And so for me publicly to be able to speak to an error or a misplay or perhaps even a lack of effort, I have to be myself and speak, hey, that came up short. I just have to do it in such a way that I don't burn a bridge.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, but you're. You're serving the audience.

[Joey Votto]

That's right.

[Dan Patrick]

You're not serving the guys that you're commenting on. You're serving the audience. If there's lack of effort, then I don't have any problem with that. If somebody makes a bad decision, you can critique the decision they made. Somebody's trying to go from first to third and they're running on, you know, somebody who's got a great arm. What are you thinking there? So I think it's small things. We. What we love about baseball. And Tim McCarver was the first to really do this. He pointed out little things. That's what's really important. You. You're going to point out little things that you may not think interesting, but it will be for us because we don't see those things normally.

[Joey Votto]

As I've taken a couple years off, I think it's the best thing that happened to me to realize, first of all, how lucky the athlete is. You know, we get the opportunity to compete on a stage, make fantastic money, and it's a complete disconnect from reality. And the average fan does not. They don't. They don't. They want that for us. They don't hate us for that, but we. They want accountability. And I think that with distance, I realize we are here to serve the fans. And the best way I can possibly serve the fans in this role is by making sure that I'm. I'm speaking the truth that I see and not being apologetic. And I think I'm going to be good at that.

[Dan Patrick]

I do, too. I think you'll be great. I said this to you when you were still playing that I look forward to this day, and I'm excited for you. We're talking to Joey votto. He played 17 years, Gold Glove winner, MVP, all of those good things there. You did bring up something. I don't know if you brought it up recently, but it caught my attention. You were talking about the steroid era and how we should come to terms with the steroid era. And if you want to kind of give us the Cliff Notes version of what you were saying about who was cheating, who wasn't cheating, everybody's kind of lumped in together.

[Joey Votto]

Yeah, I can't say who's who or who was or was not cheating because I have an attorney, but I'm going to keep my fees at a minimum. Right. But I will say there are clearly some guys and it's a subjective boat, of course, the hall of Fame is gate kept by the writers and they have every right to allow or disallow whoever they want. But there's clearly two, two athletes and then, you know, the tier below that aren't allowed in. And my simple perspective was I think we should paint that generation with one brush because we don't know who's telling the truth and we don't know who isn't. We don't know who's been mute on the subject and who's spoken up and admitted something, but maybe in their own way. And I think it's unfair if a few guys aren't allowed in because they just happen to be better. They just happen to be better at the game. They happen to be better at, they happen to be better responders. So I just think that there's guys in the hall of Fame that may or may not have scuffed the ball or spit on the ball or there may have been guys that have used the sticky stuff, which by the way, I played against, I played against that stuff and I also played it on the very edge of the steroid era and I played against guys that tested positive and the sticky stuff. To me, as someone that face pitching was the clearest difference maker that I had seen. And we have, there's been guys that have doctored the ball over the history of the game. And so from my perspective, that we don't allow a few of these guys in that essentially carried the game post strike, carried the game through 9, 11 and made the game super fun. I don't know. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's the responsibility of the, the fan that shows up in Cooperstown and that tunes in to tell their own story to say, you know what, he did this, but that's okay because he also did it too sort of thing. So whatever story that, it's, whatever story the fan wants to tell, let's give it to them. Okay, give it to them.

[Dan Patrick]

But what you're saying is Barry Bond should be in the hall of Fame.

[Joey Votto]

I'd also like to see Roger Clemens in the hall of Fame.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Even if they cheated.

[Joey Votto]

I don't know if they cheated or not.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, there's a lot of evidence. There's evidence. There's evidence to that Now I think we lose sight of. It's a museum. There's a lot of things in a museum that came about because of bad situations or bad people. If you tell the story of Barry Bonds, I'm okay with that. Roger Clements, tell the story. I'm okay with that. Because we should know why they're not in the hall of Fame. And even if you do put them in there, put it on the plaque and just say, we want to tell the story of these guys.

[Joey Votto]

But I don't want, I don't want anybody to tell the story for me. I'm a fan of the game first and foremost. I watched Barry when I was a boy. I watched the Blue Jays when I was a boy. I was a huge fan. I don't need somebody as a 42 year old or as an 18 year old version of me to tell me on, on the plaque what I need to think about this person. So for, for me, I don't, I don't think that's necessary. And I also don't think of the hall of Fame as a museum, by the way, Dan, I think of the hall of Fame as the halo you put on players. The halo you. That that player is bestowed on for the rest of their lives. That they get to walk around society. And, and that also comes with, with that public attention, comes with the evaluation. You know, there's a lot different. I go to the golf, I go out golfing. I go, you know, I went. Was in just in Pebble Beach. The language they use when they talk about hall of Famers. Oh, he was a major league player. Oh, that guy's a Hall of Famer. Is a completely different. But you're also exposed to the commentary, like he may have done this or he may have done that or did you see this or see that sort of thing. So I think it's, it's just part of it.

[Dan Patrick]

But I look at Dale Murphy, he had 398 home runs, two time MVP and he was clean. What if he used steroids and he hit 500 home runs and he's a Hall of Famer, so guys didn't use. Or it's a different era and, and we're all about numbers and comparing and I don't buy this either. Well, Bonds was a Hall of Famer before. Well, no, it's a totality of your career. You can't be father of the year and then all of a sudden, you know, you leave your wife and you're not the father of the year anymore. Doesn't work that way, a rod, if you get popped twice, I'll give you one chance. You get popped twice like Andy Pettit, a rod, you have no chance of being a Hall of Famer. What do you think of that?

[Joey Votto]

So you, you, and I'm not going to speak to Dale Murphy, but generally speaking, you just, again, you just presume that there was nothing going on. I want to say this. So I also came up through the minor leagues where amphetamines were quite common. The most difficult thing to do in professional sports is to show up every day and to, and in baseball specifically, accumulate your plate appearances. How do you get to 500 home runs? How do you get to 3,000 hits? How do you get to 3 thousand games, 3,000 strikeouts, 300 wins? The things that we laud, things that are, are, are directly tied to first ballot hall of Fameness. Well, if you show up every single day when you have the flu, when you probably normally wouldn't when you're injured, for me, why are we, why are we harping so much on the steroid era when there were tools that were used in the past to show up every single day? So, you know, I, I think that we're, we're, we're moving the goalposts there.

[Dan Patrick]

Still using amphetamines?

[Joey Votto]

I'm not sure on that. I'm not sure on that. Well, I don't, I don't know which ones. I don't know.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, there's greenies and there's reds and there's, you know, they're, they're, they're. I went into a National League clubhouse and they had a fishbowl. I thought they were M&M's.

[Joey Votto]

I don't think they're still using it. I, with the drug testing since about the early 2000s, especially since 2000. You know, during the course of my career, the drug testing, the randomness of the drug testing and the amount of things that they were looking for and the adjustments they were making on an annual basis, this is a good thing. But it's also, you know, you mentioned, should a player be allowed in if they get popped twice? I think that it's the responsibility of Major League Baseball to administer punishment. If, for example, a player gets punished in year one or year three and they have a fabulous career for the rest of it. Like, I'm of the mind that if Fernando Tatis, after his 80 game suspension, if he has a Hall of Fame caliber career, I, I think it's a reasonable thing for the entire baseball writers to have that conversation. In a new mind, if with a new mind.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I think you have younger writers who don't look at the steroid era the way I probably do, or people my age, and I understand that. And if. Do you want to put Pete Rose? You put him in.

[Joey Votto]

I. I have a thing against the gambling thing personally, but that was as

[Dan Patrick]

a manager, though, Joey. I can't take away what he did in his undergraduate degree.

[Joey Votto]

Yeah. I don't know enough about the. I don't know. I. And I say this genuinely, I don't know enough about the. The reef, this, the evidence. But it's the very first thing that you. When you walk into a major, Major league clubhouse and you know this, the very first thing you see walking into a major league clubhouse, isn't. Is it rule number one, don't take steroids. Rule number one, don't. Don't embarrass yourself politically, publicly. Right. Rule number one, don't use amphetamines. No, no, no. It's gambling. And there's an entire. It couldn't be bigger. It's like we have nothing uniform in baseball aside from this gambling rule, and it started with the Black Sox back in the early 20th century, and it's in. It is crucial, crucial that our sport is viewed as neutral. And from my perspective, I don't have a vote, but let me tell you, walk into a major league clubhouse, you know that gambling is completely unallowed.

[Dan Patrick]

I look forward to this weekend. Be yourself, as they like to say. And I never understood that. I don't know who I am still. But be yourself, I think approach it like you would, as if you're playing the game, if you were in the lineup that day. Notice everything and share that, and you'll be great. You'll be great.

[Joey Votto]

Thank you, Dan. Thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

That's Joey Voto. Now, I think he's a yoga instructor, sushi chef. Like, he's a lot of different things. He is going to be the most interesting man in. In the world. He's going to do those beer commercials. I don't drink beer, but when I do. Can you see that? Very interesting guy, by the way? They brought that guy back to do those commercials.

[Paulie]

Yeah. Round two.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Who knew? Who knew? I once met him, I think, at the. The racetrack at the Preakness, and I'm like, oh, there's the most interesting man in the world. Yes. Yes. Dylan.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I met him, too. He's surprisingly smaller than I thought.

[Dan Patrick]

Joey will be on the call. This will be the Phillies Yankees game starting at 7 Eastern on NBC and Peacock on Sunday. Take a break. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

Thought 11. That's great. Unless I retire earlier. Yes, Paul.

[Paulie]

So a lot of the scuttlebutt about waiting for the Atlanta super bowl date was about will there be an 18 game season? Does this put a big damper on that possibility? Yes, because this matches the super bowl date approximately of this upcoming Super Bowl.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. I think if we're having an 18 game schedule, it would be the 2028 season and then the 2029 Super Bowl. Let's see. Trip in Vegas. Hi, Trip. What do you have for me today?

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, good morning, dc. Always good to speak with you. Thing to answer about what being called. I can't stand being called big guy. That's one. And then if there's one thing I love picking on more than Todd and Dylan, it's going to be the wnba. I think the commissioner needs to come on and apologize to you for shooting Chili Peppers at you. That's your set out of the bunker. And then finally, they're not going to have a national anthem, but at the halftime show, they're going to have Angel Reese sing Brick House. You'll have a good weekend.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Trip. And not Trip's best appearance there. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What do you have for me?

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, Dan. Happy me Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Nobody.

[Caller/Guest]

I had a comment about the dirt being tucked in on the golf course. I think, are you sure that Bad Larry didn't show up on the golf course to give Ray hard times? Since Ray kind of took his place, he's doing a good job doing that, too. So thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Thank you, David. Yeah, Ray's doing a good job on the gambling podcast. He actually knows what he's talking about. He actually wins bets. Oh, Dylan gets upset about this because Ray actually does homework research.

[Dylan]

Anyone can do research, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

He's got results here. Big day. Ray has done really well in the gambling podcast. You have not Bill in Iowa. By the way, do they still mandate that football players have their football jerseys tucked in? Because that used to be a big deal. Could they give you a penalty? Was that a uniform violation? Bill in Iowa. Hi, Bill. What do you have for me today?

[Caller/Guest]

Is it Bill in Iowa or is it Phil in Iowa? I know Phil and Iowa. That's me.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, well, I only know what Tyler writes down. So he's got Bill.

[Caller/Guest]

Come on, Tyler. All right, man. Two quick things. Well, a five, six and a backwards hat, wearing 132. Worst. Worst way to be addressed in public trip said big guy. It's right up there. I would say if you take the d DY off bud, say bud. And instead of calling somebody buddy, I think that's right up there for the worst possible way to be addressed. But I had a question for Dylan. Were the golf bros listening to Jason Aldean or were they listening to Drake?

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't hear the music. I could hear music, but I couldn't hear them. But what exactly? They were playing Dylan.

[Dylan]

I didn't either. But just going purely off of judging a book by its cover, I seem like they're probably Drake guys.

[Dan Patrick]

See, I'm bothered more by loud music, and I love music, but I'm playing golf. I don't need to be accompanied with a song. Like, you can't ignore music. A shirt tail out. Okay? It's not the end of the world. Yes. Yes, Dale.

[Dylan]

Does it depend for you on what the music is? Does that matter?

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't need it. I play with guys. Jedi from main cabin Masters, he blasts the music. All right? You know, it's his cart, his music. All right, I'm fine with that. It's okay. Not the end of the world. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

I like a little tootin sometimes out on the course. You know, a little grateful Dead Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't need it.

[Dylan]

Sun's out.

[Dan Patrick]

No beers. Buns out.

[Dylan]

Buns out.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't need music. I'm okay with getting away from life to go on the golf course. I don't need to go. Oh, my God. I gotta listen to music. I mean, you kind of talk to each other. I don't need, you know, you fill in that. You know, that vacuum. Nobody's saying anything. Oh, let's turn on the music. I find that more egregious than somebody who's got their shirt tail out. Yes.

[Todd]

Todd, if you feel like you need to listen to music or to hype you up or a certain playlist in your pop, your airpods in. We don't need to hear what you're listening to.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Todd]

Nobody's business.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Deal you got.

[Dylan]

This is kind of an old man take from both of you, I gotta admit.

[Dan Patrick]

Jerseys must be tucked in on the field. A player appearance on the field conveys a message regarding the image of the league and directly affects the league's reputation and success according to the NFL. Okay, but what happened? You get fined for your shirt tail out. I believe Paul is going to be in the confessional. Final hour on this meet. Friday. Coming up, more phone calls as well. Final hour next. I'm U.S. transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

[Joey Votto]

The sound of a seatbelt.

[Dan Patrick]

It's one of the most important sounds in our car.

[Kerry Brownstein]

It means everyone is ready and everyone is safe.

[Joey Votto]

The more our kids see us put on our seatbelts, the more natural it

[Dan Patrick]

is for them to put theirs on, too.

[Nick Turturro]

Make it a priority.

[Dan Patrick]

Buckle up every time. Hear the sound. Make it a habit. Paid for by nhtsa.
