Our podcast, Part Time Genius is counting down the 25 greatest science ideas from the past 25 years. That's right, Mango. We're talking animals in a paper called, quote, chickens prefer beautiful humans. Right? This was actually the title of the paper. They all discovered that, much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces. Got it. We're talking medical miracles.

Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. I could never, I could never lose you. I hurt my feelings for a moment, but then I realized you were joking. I'm better now. I can't quit you. I've tried, but I can't quit you. I appreciate that we are together forever. That's a lovely sentiment that you just had. Well, for the next year, the next three years. Well, Christmas Eve 2020, that's it. Then. Then we just go on separate ways then. Lose my number. Yeah, like it never happened 25 years ago. Never. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app. We say good morning if you're listening on our radio affiliates, iHeartradio, Fox Sports RA over 400 cities brave enough to carry this program. We'll talk to future hall of Famer Justin Verlander, who quietly signed with the Giants in the off season. He'll join us coming up. Iron Eagle, one of our favorites. Tnt, cbs, play by play voice. He was on the call with the Golden State warriors in the Garden against the Knicks last night. And Steph Curry and the warriors picked up yet another win. 8, 773-DP. Show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Let's see, poll question from hour one. And then what are we going with in hour two? Well, hour one, we had one sort of pop up there last minute organically, if you will and it is controversial. Better movie. The Godfather or Goodfellas. Okay. Right now we're at about a 60, 40. Godfather to Goodfellas. Okay. Earlier, it was the exact same, but Goodfellas to Godfather. Okay. Polarizing. Okay. I like to call it Godfellas. You know, combine them. Combine them both. I like the movie. I like Goodfellows. I did. I liked it. I didn't love it. I'm just saying. Yes. How much can you like a movie? Used to call Good Fellows all the time. Until, like, today. Now it's good. Fellas, all of a sudden. Yeah, I had to call you out. That's right. I know we're all thinking it, and I'm gonna verbalize it. I'm not sure. You just kicked me to the curb, like, three minutes ago, so are you gonna get that? I jokingly kicked you to the curb. You're being mean. Yes, you are. Meant to be. Mean spirit. Yeah, it was meant to be. Yeah. I'm gonna say, well, thinking Godfather are Goodfellows. Which one? I don't know which one I like more. You know what, though? What if I said Godfather better? Oh, it is. Yes. Is it fair to say that you have a little bit of a blind spot for that genre of movie Mafia? I'm gonna say it out. No, no, I do. I do. I do. You do. Because you didn't really like the Sopranos. You're not really into any of the, like, the big ones. Like, you ever seen Donnie Brasco? Yeah. Have you? Yeah. It's good movie. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Once again, I've been married 37 years. I've been in the family for 39 years. You never talked about the Mafia, even though you probably could find somebody in the family tree who could have been married to somebody who might have been affiliated with, I don't know, the Teflon Don. Oh, yes. Okay. Yeah. So it never came up. It just never came up. And if it did, it was. It quickly dissipated. And so therefore, it's not, you know. You know, you get around sometimes you say, hey, have you seen that movie? And that. That never comes up with any of those movies with my wife's side of the family. So that's all. That's all. Yeah, that's it. Yes. Paul, let's player count this. If the Godfather is Tom Brady, the clear best of all time in the genre, what is Goodfellas? What quarterback would Goodfellas be? I'll let you guys decide that, because I might go Ben Roethlisberger. Oh, I'd probably go Joe Montana. Because the work is similar. The resumes are a little better. Like the Godfather resume is a little better than the goodfellas resume. But Goodfellas never lost in the Super Bowl. Never lost in the super bowl, if you know what I mean. Yes. Did Godfather 3 cost them. Was there a 4 in there too? I don't, I don't know. Jump the Shark. Not great. But yeah, maybe they, maybe they stayed around too long. They played too long and you know, they, they had a Hall of Fame career, an all time career, and then they gave us Godfather three. Yeah. Godfather one is Joe Montana. Godfather two is Steve Young. Godfather three is whoever followed those two guys with the Niners. Jim Druckenmiller. No offense. Yeah, Jim Druckenmiller. It was like, if you see that commercial where it's all the old football players sitting around, they're like, hey, why don't we run it back one more time? I bet we can still do this. Like Marino, Rice, Emmett Smith. That's what the last Godfather was like. Why don't we run it back one more time? How bad could it be? Yeah, yeah. Turns out awful. 877 3DP show. So are we going to go with a new poll question here for hour two? Well, I'm sort of populating one from something we were talking about in hour one two of the most unbreakable sports record. Okay. But we have too many options. We have way too many options. I think Emmett is on there. I think Cal Ripken, consecutive game streak. I. I don't know how anybody's ever going to break. Because Cal didn't have load management. No. Nowadays, got to have, you know, even the manager. Yeah. I'm going to give you a day off even if you're not managing your load. You need to get incredibly lucky to be that good for that long, to play that many games without getting hurt at all. Even if you're not trying to sit out any games and rest. Yes. Well, Cal Ripken's record is so safe that let's say a star player for a team was 26, 27, 28. The manager would be criticized for playing them 162 games. Like you're burning out your best player. That it would. That is as safe as it gets. And we were talking about the movies. The big game or the big moment that ends with a loss. Like Rocky, Bad News Bears, Friday Night Lights, Moneyball, Tin Cup, League of Their Own. If you're Russian, Miracle on Ice in Russia. That movie you work into the theater. Like, this is not Gonna happen. But I wonder if they look at it like, hey, you know what? You kind of like a movie sometimes that doesn't end with a victory. I don't know if the Russians feel that same way that I do, that it's okay that you have a loss. What do you mean? Our time has passed. What does this mean? You'd be a lot of people confused as who they're rooting for these days too, with that one. That's true. Wait, you're rooting for the Russian? Wait a minute. No, I thought that we were. Which one was the Miracle? Yes. Paul, you ever walk into a theater and you see a movie based on the name and you don't know the background? Imagine you're Russian and you go into the local cineplex, like, oh, Miracle. Let's go check that out. Without knowing. I don't think it plays at the local cineplex in Russia. You don't think they have movie theaters in Russia? I don't think they play that. It did not make the cut. No, because they lost. They don't want to show you movies that they want to show you propaganda. Honey, let's get some popcorn and see Miracle. Yeah. Yes. Tony. I think the AMC in Kiev, for about three or four weeks, they had that run in there. Then they pulled it. Once everyone realized what it was about, they were chicken in Kiev. You see what he did? Chicken Kiev. Yeah, it's a dish. Chicken Kiev. Thank you. Funny, because in Kiev, they would be Rooting for the U.S. oh, that's. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Wow. The wrong country. All of a sudden. We got political Chris in California. Hi, Chris. How are you today? Doing good. Top of the morning to you all. I have a couple of things for the show I'd like to offer up name for Todd's resume. And then I got a unbreakable staff for me. For Todd, I think we can add to his resume the moil of momentum because he knows how to cut off the momentum of the show. That's not necessary. Wow. Moyle. And for our. Our stat, we got Barry Bond was intentionally walked an enormous amount of times. More than like three or four franchises in their total history. So I think that would be pretty tough to break. Yeah. What. What did he get intentionally walk like 200 times one year? Like 232 or something crazy. Paulie. He was Barry Bonds peak. Barry Bonds was once walked. Just walked 232 games that times in a season that was.04. He was intentionally walked 120 times that season. That's double the best ever. Got like, the second best ever. I think his pool set 61. Jeremy in California. Hi, Jeremy. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. You guys were talking about movies earlier. Let me get this one thing out of the way first. My niner should immediately sign Darius Slay without hesitation. That dude's a stud, even at 34. But my. My main thing that triggered me to call you guys today was you were talking about great movies. Might I recommend Sicario and Wind river along with Sandlot as a sports movie Only Sandlot. But the producer that answered my call, I was asking him if you guys might be able to continue to take recommendations on shows or movies that are stream or binge worthy and maybe have a link on your website to aggregate them so people know what. Where to go to look for new shows to watch when they're done watching everything that they think is worth streaming. All right, well, thank you, Jeremy. I have seen those movies that you brought up. Reacher is very good. I like Reacher a lot. And I am watching White Lotus. It's. It's a slow burn right now. Is that the third season? Yeah. Is it? Yeah. I haven't started that slow burn. It's in Thailand. Trying to think. What else? I just rewatched Beef for the second time. Okay, that's really good. That's really good. It's about this, like, road rage incident. Speaking of dark. That gets extremely dark. I only got through half of the first episode. Oh, man. Yeah, I know, I know. You got to get me. And if you don't get me, then I'm gone and I usually don't come back. Yes, Paulie. I just started a series called paradise with Sterling K. Brown. Heard great things about it. Good first episode. Huge curveball at the end, and it goes a completely different direction, but very good. Okay. Yeah, I'm trying to think. Anything else that. Let's see the Jeremy Renner series, Mayor of Kingstowne. Oh, yeah, that was great. It was real good. Hacks is really, really funny. Really funny. Very funny. It's kind of based off of Joan Rivers in her career in Vegas. And Gene Smart is fantastic in that. Yes, she is brilliant. She's really. And her assistant is the daughter of Lorraine Newman, who was one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live. And she does a great job as well. Spencer in Texas. Hi, Spencer. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Happy morning to you guys. Just want to give a shout out to LeBron for hitting his 50,000, but also wanted to shout out Thomas Harley last night for the game winning goal with the Dallas Stars with 3.9 seconds less than the third against the Devils. So just want to give a shout out to those two guys. They're fun to watch. I appreciate y'all taking my call. All right, thank you, Spencer. Uh, might be the only time that Dallas Star is playing put in the Same sentence with LeBron James, but big night for LeBron. Not showing any signs of slowing down. And did you have a bet with us, Paulie, or prediction that LeBron James that this would be his last year? Yeah, I think we were doing hot takes, and I said before the All Star game. Oh, that's right. Around the all star game, LeBron would announce this is his final season. Am I sticking with that is what you're asking? Yes. I tried to watch the Bear. That's another one. I tried. I think I got three episodes in. I think it was the pace that kind of, like, bothered me. Yes, Todd. Yeah, Everyone tells me when I said I bailed after watching 4 or 5, I was like, you really needed to stick with it. It starts. Trust me, it starts getting a lot. Yeah. And Seaton said that to me. He said, just get through the first season. It's great. I was like, yeah, I pulled the ripcord. Yeah. Yeah. It's like. It. It. Like, I found it entertaining all the way through. So, I mean, that might be a difference, but it does sort of like come back and swing around to really just like, knock you over the head. And you're like, whoa, this is what a series, you know? Al in Atlanta. Hi, Al. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan. One quick thing. A show to watch. Severance. Great theory, guys. You get on that one. But I am calling because I have to agree with Doug in North Carolina. Hoosiers, a little. A little hacky, a little 80s. And the speech that he gives in the replacement is better than the speech he gives. And Hoosiers. I'm sorry, I will not allow this to happen on my watch today. You know, out of respect to Gene Hackman, I will not allow this to happen. We will not denigrate Hoosiers. Not today. Not going to happen. Still. I got to get Marvin to watch it. All right, you're not helping. I got to get Marvin. You know, there's. I treat Marvin the way I do my kids. Where I go, have you watched? And they'll go, no, no, you gotta watch that. And, you know, there's probably seven to 10 movies where I say to my kids, you should watch that. Yes, Mark, One of my first homework assignments was watching Caddyshack and I thought it was good. There was funny parts, but the way people were hyping it up was like it was the funniest movie ever. And some of the jokes, man, there's some Chevy Chase one liners that are great. But to me, back to school, Rodney Dangerfield was funnier. So the only thing was people were hyping it up. And I think I was expecting it to be coming to America. Like, yeah. But if I said, well, you didn't know at the time that Bill Murray ad libbed his lines with Chubby. And plus, their relationship was an awkward relationship in real life from Saturday Night Live, I found that interesting. Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight was great. Go back to the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Ted Knight was Ron Burgundy before Ron Burgundy without the Triton missiles or whatever those things when they had the, the gang fight there with all the other news anchors. All right, we're just getting started, I think. Or actually, we're halfway through. We're in it. Come on, let's go. Okay. All right. Justin Verlander is going to join us on loan from the San Francisco Giants. We'll take a break. More phone calls as well, and we'll hear from LeBron James and Steph Curry coming up.

Hey Mike, what's on your mind? Good morning, Daniel. How are you today? Good. Michael, a couple quick ones for you. The unbreakable record. That would be Cy Young749 complete games. As much as I love the amazing Justin verlander, he has 26, so not going to be broken anytime soon. And then the quick one about Tatum O'Neill's pitching form. You are absolutely correct. Fantastic form. Not quite as good as Nuke Lelouch, but definitely better than Tony Danza and Angels on the outfield. All right, thank you, Michael. I don't know. Nuke lalouch. His pitching form, not great. Great character, not great form. Yeah. Paul, we may have to categorize unbreakable records to Cy Young is so far off the board. It's not even discussion like breakable ish. Jerry Rice is breakable ish. Well, we should do modern day then. Yes. Nobody's going to average 50 points in a game in the NBA. Yes. Yeah, I kind of started like whittling it down to stats based records. Like I get that a complete game is a stat, but it's kind of more of a like longevity thing. Just like Cal Ripken and consecutive games. So I tried to do. It's more about say rushing yards or assists or stolen bases or points per game, that kind of thing. Okay. Because if you did modern, you know, I think we look at the NBA, there's two ways to look at it. It's like 1980, after 1980 or before 1980, when you're looking at stats and maybe even a little bit further back with some of those stats that are probably unbreakable. But I think when Bird Magic came in, that's when I think it, it kind of started. But yeah, complete games forget about because it's not that important now. You go five, five and a third. It's like, man, you're a workhorse there. Speaking of which, Segways, Justin Verlander just turned 42 years of age. When do you feel 42? Not when I'm 42, apparently. I still feel great. So I get out of bed in the morning, and I keep expecting these aches and pains everybody talks about, but I feel pretty good. I like that you gave me a nice backdrop there at Scottsdale Stadium. Thought about it. You're welcome. I appreciate that. Instead of some sterile room there. I like that you got a career as a cinematographer here. Let me start with the automated strike zone. With you having done this for so long and now you see the younger pitchers who are going to grow up with this, adapt to this. Is there an upside, in your opinion, to an automated strike zone? Yeah, I think there's upside to it. I like the appeal system over the full automated zone. And the reason being, I think these umpires are asked to do a really difficult job. And, you know, they're also the best in the world at it. Even though they, they're not perfect, but they're, you know, that's. That's a, That's a tough zone to call, especially when guys are throwing 100 miles an hour with nasty breaking balls. So I don't want to take away the part of the game that I love, which is catcher framing, you know, the pitcher hitting his spot and getting a call, because everything, everything presented correctly and it looks like a strike and the umpire calls, calls it, even though it's maybe, you know, half an inch off, the batter doesn't quite know. So in a, in a big spot, in a big spot in the game, maybe he challenges. But if it's the first, second, third inning, nobody really knows if it's, if it's actually a ball or strike. So I don't want to take away that part of the game. But I think, you know, there's obviously opportunities where it's an egregiously wrong call where you can turn that over, or late in the game in a big spot where, you know, both sides want to make sure we get it right. Well, I say both sides, but, you know, everybody wants to make sure you get it right. I saw where Max Scherzer is not a fate in favor of this. And then I had to laugh because you guys are veterans. You know, you guys got calls. You know, the, the umpire might give you the benefit of the doubt. You know, Greg Maddox, Tom Glavin, you, Scherzer, you know, the automated strike zone, they don't know who you are. Ah, I You know, I wish I. They don't. They don't do that anymore for us. You know, you go back, you know, when I first came in the game and, you know, you had those guys that you mentioned, Rocket, Roger, you know, Maddox, Johnson, all those guys. You know, you come into a game and it's like, hey, you're going to have a little bit bigger zone today. These guys have earned it. You know, they tell all the hitters that, and. But with the umpires being monitored now, they. They get. Even though it's not an automated strike zone, they get. They get graded on every single game. So, you know, I'm sure some of these older school umpires would like to give us a little bit bigger zone, but we don't get that advantage anymore, unfortunately. I would love it. How important is 300 wins to you? You're at 262. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I mean, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. It wasn't important. I, I, you know, I, I see pretty clearly that, you know, unless something changes that I'd probably be the last to have a chance to do it. So it's something that is off in the distance. I'm not, I'm not saying that I'm. You know, the only reason I'm playing is to get 300. I still feel good. I still feel like I can be successful, quite successful. I. I don't want to go out there and make a fool of myself just to try to try to reach that goal. But, you know, I think the injuries that I sustained the last. Last year, particularly, actually, I learned a lot from, and, you know, I think I can be the pitcher that I was three years ago when I won the Cy Young. So, you know, if 300 happens, it happens. But it's something that, like, a lot of the things I've been able to achieve, my career, it just happens because you're out there taking the ball and doing all the right things and just pitching. That's it. What's the conversation like when you sit down with Kate and you go, well, tell me what the conversation's like where you decide you want to play another year. Yeah. Yeah. She's super supportive, man. I'm. You know, it's getting harder. Our daughter is six now and in kindergarten, so you got real school happening where they can't just pick up and transplant the family for the baseball season. But, you know, she knows how much I care and how much passion I have for this. And my analogy is, you know, I want to Set a good example for my daughter. And you know, my analogy is like I've spent my entire life training for this marathon. I literally, since I was five years old, since I was five, I picked up a baseball and told my parents I wanted to be a major league baseball player. And here I am living my dream and still feel like I can, can play at a high level. So you know, I've, I've trained my entire life to be in the middle of this marathon. Here I am running it and I feel like I'm, you know, I don't know how close I am to finish line, but I'm damn close. And, and you know, what a disservice it would be to me and my, you know, my daughter to, to give up now. So, you know, I'm going to keep playing and working as hard as I can and, and in talking to my friends, they tell me, the guys that have retired, they say when you know, you know, and I don't know exactly what that means yet. So that tells me I'm not there. He's Justin Verlander now with the Giants. Signed a one year deal. Do you have to hate the Dodgers more because you're Giant? Is there a pamphlet that they give you on disliking the Dodgers? No, it's more just a vibe, you know, I think you can pick up on it. I'm actually excited. I haven't. Look, I've had some rivalries, but it's nothing like this. It doesn't have the history. It's had some just like you know, in Detroit there were, you know, for a few years the White Sox were really good and we were battling. And then the Indians and then with Houston, the A's were really good and then the Rangers were really good. I haven't had a rivalry like this. So I think just, it just happens when you start playing the games against each other and you just feel it and the stadium, you know, has that atmosphere to it that's just different. Feels like a playoff game. I'm pretty excited about it. If you could take one pitch off, you know, pitchers in your era. So if it's somebody's fastball, somebody's breaking ball, somebody's slider, Give me, give me who you would, you would pick and which, which pitch? Geez. Does it have to. I mean, I would love Clemens, splitter. That would be. Yeah, all right, all right. I have a hard time like my change up hasn't been a pitch I've been able to utilize much the last like five or Six years. Even though I, I threw it a lot when I was younger, I don't have a pitch that really moves that way. So that would be, that would be lovely if I could use that. Okay, but what about curveball? What about fastball? I mean, Kershaw's curveball, you know, iconic. Can you teach, can you teach Kershaw's curveball? No, I don't think so. I think this is actually a problem that a lot of people fall into. It's a trap where everybody, with all of the analytics now, you can find out, you can watch video, you can see exactly how he throws it and, and, and the spin that he gets on it, just like any others, any other, anybody else's pitch. But I think there's something innate with the way that you throw a baseball. It's like the gate of a horse, you know, like you, it's just so unique to you, and that's what allows you to be successful at certain things. You know, you talk about a fastball. I would want, I, I want my fastball. I think my fastball is one of the, one of the best, if not, you know, it's one of the best in the history of baseball. It's so, I think that's just how I throw a baseball, though. It's just what I was born to do. And the way my body works, I can't throw a sinker to save my life, you know, I, I, it just, it just, it just doesn't work, you know, but the reason that it doesn't work is because, you know, the way I throw creates such a great spin, efficient, forcing. But if you were coming up now, I wonder the longevity of your career. Me too. Because you would be a different pitcher, Very different. I, I, I often wonder about this because, I mean, it, it permeates all the way down now to the, to Little league level. I mean, you see all these Instagram famous places where you go to, to, to learn how to throw harder and, and, you know, I, but look, they have a place. They do. But for me, you know, if, if I look back at my, my trajectory when I was a young kid, and I clearly got to the point pretty quickly where my father was like, you know, you're past my expertise. I don't know what the hell I'm doing here, you know, so he found me a local coach, and that coach talked baseball back then, you know, talked about mechanics and feel and flow, and his name was Bob Smith in Richmond, Virginia. And, you know, that is gone now. I think, I think now, if my dad were to be in the same position, he would send me somewhere that teaches me how to be a little more cookie cutter and try to throw us. Try to throw as hard as you can instead of. Instead of learning your own mechanics and cultivating your own movement pattern and learning how to pitch a little bit more, and I don't know where that leads. Yeah, I talk about this a lot. I don't know if I would have been able to have this career had I came up in today's age. Toughest out in your career. Like, this guy came to the plate and you go, all right, let me just try something totally out of left field. Salvador Perez has done really well against me in division. Yeah, I would say, you know, the good thing is, though, he didn't have a ton of homers against me, so. And Salvi. Sorry. Salvi's not the fastest guy on the face of the earth, so it didn't bother me so much. But if he came up with men on base, it was trouble for me. But would you rather give up a bomb or one that trickles right over the left field wall? Great question. It depends on the situation in the game. Let's say it's just, you know, you're up five nothing bomb. I'd rather give up a homer, like 450ft. You're okay. I'm completely fine with it. At least I challenged you, you know, and. And, you know, I can move on from that. We're still up for nothing. There's nobody on base. I still feel comfortable. A little blooper. And then, you know, then another guy gets a base hit. Now it's, you know, you got, you know, if any guy hits a homer, it's a, you know, two run ball game that's a little different. Greg Maddox said. I said, describe the sound of a home run. He says, it's like a. It's like a car crash. Yeah, boy. I mean, these guys, you know it, right? Do you know it right away without even turning around? Sometimes, yeah. A lot of times, no, it's kind of like, you know, you just had that reaction where you're like, you know, get down here in your head, the whole thing. You know, you got a few seconds, so you get down, get down, get down. You just don't, you know, it's going to be close. And then some of them, you're just like, oh, boy. Yeah. When you're not pitching in spring training, what's. What do you do? Like, you know, I. There's been a lot of Guys here playing chess. So that's been fun. We've been getting some good chess games going on, and we're gonna start a San Francisco Giants chess club. Not, not in the dugout. Not in the dugout. No, no. In spring training, you don't really, I mean, especially, especially with my tenure, they don't make me be in the dugout anymore. But it's been fun this year. I mean, that's one of the positives of my family not being out here, which has been difficult, is my first spring training in Arizona. But I've had more time to, to connect with the younger guys and, and spend some time at the field. So I really enjoy just taking that, taking that all in, you know, and I think the perspective of where I'm at in my career, you know, I think you wanna, you wanna enjoy it a little bit more and realize that it's not indefinite that you get to play this game. And so it's been fun being around, hanging around the park a lot. What hat will you wear when you go into the hall of Fame? Oh, gosh. You know, I, I honestly, I, I, I honestly do not know. I don't think I would tell you even if I did. But it's a good problem to have, Justin. It is a good problem to have. You're right. You know, who, who could have known what would have happened in Houston when I got traded there in 17? You know, like, like how much success I was able to have? No, no, like, I, I couldn't have forecasted that, you know? No, nobody really could have. So you just, I, I just have this mentality that, you know, just head down, I'm working hard, and however far this career takes me and where it takes me, you know, when the dust settles, when I sit back and I look back, that's, that's when I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll ask those questions. But, yeah, I mean, I get asked, I get asked a fair amount, and quite frankly, I just haven't even tried to make that decision yet. It's obviously been thought of, but I'm trying not to make the decision. You still have your Tiger uniform, don't you? Of course I do. And your Tiger hat. I have a lot of gear. Every year at the end of the season, I send it all back to my house and just, it's like, I'm honestly not looking forward to going through all of it. Could I get the Mets gear? I mean, really, that's not. I mean, yeah, I'll send you something okay. I'll send you something for the Mets. Sure, we'll put it in the man cave here. It sounds good. I'll send it. Hey, have fun. Good to talk to you. Thank you again, my best. Your wife. Thank you. All right. Justin Verlander, Giants pitcher, two time World Series champ. Yeah, Kate was. We had her on a couple of times before they got married. We had Kate Upton, swimsuit mom, Sports Illustrated. All right, we'll take a break that phone calls coming up. 8773 DP show.

If you're just as curious as I am about the way things are built, the insights behind what it takes to create a world renowned product, then tune in to my podcast, Building One. There's so much to learn, like how Patagonia innovates with its supply chain. We had to go out to farmers and convince them it was really damn hard. Or the way Adobe thinks about the first interaction somebody has with Photoshop. I was always so fascinated with by how people navigate and find their way. Ever wanted to know how Nike builds emotion into the Jordan brand? You have to be obsessed with the current state of the human condition. And it doesn't stop there. What about how Gleam reinvented knowledge Search with AI? You can learn about how Michelin Star Chef is redesigning seeds for flavor and how Pixar is nurturing a creative culture, listen to Building One on the iHeartRadio app, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. I tend to geek out on some things, and one of the things is I like when a pitcher has to work out of a jam. And I think today's pitchers are taught you get into jam, we'll just bring in another pitcher. And the older school pitcher was out there. Might be the fifth inning, sixth inning, maybe seventh maybe. You're kind of holding on. You got to pitch out of the jam. You don't want to go to the bullpen too soon. And I think that's what today's pitchers are lacking, that opportunity, the necessity to pitch out of a jam. Because then when you get into a jam, playoff time, then all of a sudden you know you should be ready for it. You're familiar with it. And a lot of these pitchers, they don't have that opportunity. Let's see Bill in Florida. Hi, Bill. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan. Hi, Bill. Quick question. At my age, you kind of round up on your height and you round down on your weight. So I'm still 5 9. I'm still a buck 65. I got a suggestion for Marvin that he watch Hoosiers, but then follow it up with the Best of Times with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell. I think that'll clean his palette. Okay, well, thank you, Bill. Is that quarterback wide receiver with Robin Williams? Is he the wide receiver in that movie? Yes. It's about a small high school in California. They lost the big game. The town has gone downhill. They all get back together. Kurt Russell was the star Quarterback with the white shoes, of course. Great hair. Of course. Let's see, it was a few years ago when we had a poll question. It had to do with Justin Verlander, and Paulie suggested it, and I, of course, green lit it or green lighted it. What is that? When you green. Green light something? Green lit. Green lit in Hollywood, I think. Can you green light past tense, present tense? I don't know, Todd, would you know that being. I think if you green light something. Green light. That's what I think. Okay. To make sure. Okay. All right. So the poll question a few years ago that I greenlit with Justin Verlander. Verlander, at 39, had just won his third career Cy Young. And the poll question was, would you rather have three Cy Youngs or be married to Kate Upton? And Kate Upton won 5,644. You can only pick one. Yes, Todd. When talking about a movie being approved to go into production, the correct phrase is green lit, meaning the project received a go ahead and officially allowed to move forward. Okay. Green lit. That's what I was at Woody Harrelson's apartment. I was green lit. See what I did with that Marvin Bloop. I got it. Yeah. Pot was green. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Just. Just call back there. Okay. Yeah. Lit. Ryan in Detroit. Hi, Ryan. What's on your mind today? First time, long time. Six, seven and a soft 240. Untouchable record that hasn't been hit on. Okay. Wilt Chamberlain, 55 rebounds in a game and all time career. There's one person that's currently playing that's in the top 25 all time rebounds, and that's number 25, LeBron James. Okay. Yeah. Once again, you got to separate the era. Certainly with Wilt. Basketball. I know we don't do this with Babe Ruth, but with basketball, Nobody's going to average 50 a game. And they don't. I mean, you know, do the math. The number of rebounds Wilt got, every rebound, he got 55 rebounds. Now, I think that was against Boston. Bill in New York. Hi, Bill. What's on your mind today? Hey, first time, long time, Dan. Yeah. 6, 1, 2, 15. I've got an unbreakable record. Maybe it's more of a trivia question. There was an MLB team with three players with 50 or more stolen bases. Okay. And it's 19. You know, I can tell you the team. You probably get two, but I don't think you'll get the third. But you'll like it. Okay. All right. It's the 76 Oakland A's. All right, so the 76 Night, 1976, Oakland A's had three players with 50 or more stolen bases. I think so. Okay. All right. Anybody want to offer up? I know it wasn't Sal Bando and Campy Campaneris would probably be the first guy who comes to mind. That's one. Okay, got Campy Campanes. Was Bill north on that team? Billy north at 75 that year? Yes. He led the league, I believe. Okay, so there's UL Washington didn't get on base enough, I don't think, to have 50 stolen bases. Claudell Washington. Yes, Paulie. Claudell is close. He had 37 steals. Oh, okay. Can I get a hint? Sure. Went on to be a coach. Coach of the year, I think, for the mlb. Ron Washington. No. Oh, okay. Yeah. Paulie, here's a hint. This player had 52 stolen bases that year, but he also led the league in being hit by pitches, and I think he's a career leader. Being hit by pitches over Craig Bgio and Ron Hunt. It's up. He's up there. Don Baylor. Oh, good call. Thank you, Bill. Don Baylor, he had power, too. Is it number 25? Number 25, Don Baylor. Luke and Charlotte. Hi, Luke. What's on your mind, Dan? His name is Dana Altman and he aligns Rubik's Cubes a little John Rothstein shout out, but I have a stat of the day. Since 2010 when Dana Altman was hired as coach at Oregon, the Ducks have the most wins in March out of any other. Wait, wait, where did this come from? Where? Luke, we. I put on the left turn signal occasionally, but where did Dana Altman in Oregon basketball come from? Got to give me a heads up here. Well, Ducks are on a heater there when six straight and they're pushing for a 4C in the tournament. Thank you, Luke. Now I'm primed for March Madness. I'm taking Oregon to win it all. I was like, wait, what? Steph Curry and the warriors, they want again. Now they have a game in Brooklyn and then they have a seven game homestand. You want to talk about how they could get on a heater? They're already on a heater. Here's Steph Curry on performing in Madison Square Garden. This is Madison Square Garden. It speaks for itself. This is a place that brings. It just naturally has great, unique, authentic basketball energy. And like, the fans are unreal, like the who's who of celebrity row and all that, but just everybody's anticipating great basketball. And from my first game here in college to now, like it's always delivered. So. And for us on the Western Conference, we only get one chance here and try to take. Make the most of it. Thank God it's not the Tostitos. Madison Square Garden. Yeah. And. And they probably had to fight that off of that, you know, the Great Western Forum. I mean, it just sounded great even though it's a sponsorship. Was it the Western Forum originally and someone threw great in there? I don't know. I just remember it's like, damn, it's a Great Western for. It's not a good Western form. It's not the Western form. It's the Great Western form. Yes. Eaton. I kind of like Kia. I like crypto. If you're giving me the chance, you know the choice between the two Great Western Forum or the Kia Forum, I might go Kia. Yes. Todd, you can see all those white columns. You can see as you're landing at lax. You can see it in the distance. That is one of those things when you're flying into lax, you're like, oh, man, we're almost here. There's the Great Western Forum. Yeah, Paulie, it started as the forum from 1967-88. Then in 1988, someone said it's now the Great Western Forum. Why the change? Oh, I thought it was a sponsorship in there. The Great Western Form. Final hour on the way. Spend a little more time on the warriors with their win against the Knicks. More of your phone calls as well. Two hours in the books on this Wednesday. We're back after this Dan Patrick show. Hey, Will, do you ever get overwhelmed by how much science happens these days?
