Episode Overview

In this lively and laid-back third hour, Dan Patrick and his Danettes blend sports hot topics, pop culture detours, and their signature witty banter.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Cal Raleigh’s Home Run Feat & Mariners History

• [10:40] Dan highlights Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh reaching 56 home runs, tying Ken Griffey Jr. for the most in franchise history.

  • Dan praises Raleigh as an “underrated switch-hitting catcher” and emphasizes how this achievement is especially impressive given Seattle’s pitcher-friendly ballpark and Raleigh’s position.
  • “He’s a really good catcher… and you’re doing something that no switch hitter’s ever done before.” (Dan, [11:05])
  • Dan states he’d give Raleigh the MVP over favorites like Aaron Judge because of context and impact.

• Shohei Ohtani’s two-way brilliance is also discussed, with Dan marveling at his fifth no-hit inning performance and 50th home run:

  • “It just sounds different coming off his bat.” (Dan, [12:29])
  • “As a pitcher, when you hear that sound, you just hand the umpire a new ball.” (Dan, [12:41])

---

2. What Counts as "Art"? The Rocky Statue Debate

• [5:06] – [13:00] A wide-ranging and humorous conversation about the Rocky statue outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art:
  • The Rocky statue’s status as "art or movie prop" is scrutinized, tracing its removal, relocation, and ultimate return to the museum steps.
  • “Who’s to say what is art?” (Dan, [08:21])
  • Paulie shares that the Philadelphia Art Commission once judged it just a movie prop.
  • Anecdotes about Sylvester Stallone’s own backyard Rocky statue, and how Adele demanded the statue remain when buying Stallone’s mansion. “No deal without the Rocky statue!” (Paulie, [10:14])
  • Hilarity about what memorabilia or eccentric home features (like a “slanty kitchen floor”) people would keep.

Notable Quote

• “If you’re Adele, do you say, hey, I want the statue of Sylvester Stallone in my backyard?” (Dan, [07:07])

---

3. Sports Statues—Who Deserves One?

• [35:19] – [36:36] Listeners call in with stories about local athlete statues (e.g., Terence Crawford for Omaha, Johnny Bench in Cincinnati).
  • Dan is openly skeptical about the whole statues-for-athletes thing, saying: “A hundred years from now, somebody’s gonna bring up something and then, why does he got a statue? I’m good without a statue of anybody that I loved growing up.” (Dan, [35:39])
  • The group discusses which moments and players merit such honors—“statue guys” vs. “jersey retirement guys”: “Steph Curry is a statue guy. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are retired jersey guys.” (Marvin, [36:36])
  • Humorous sidetrack: A caller suggests a statue of Danette Fritzy, which spins off into tongue-in-cheek debate about authenticity and nudity in statuary.

---

4. NFL Comeback Player of the Year Odds

• [26:33] – [28:15] Dan runs through current odds for NFL Comeback Player of the Year:
  • Top candidates: Christian McCaffrey, Dak Prescott, Aidan Hutchinson, Daniel Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Nick Chubb, JJ McCarthy, Hunter Renfrow, Maxx Crosby.
  • Roundtable picks:
    • Todd: Daniel Jones (“I think…he’s made a significant step forward in his career.” [27:08])
    • Seaton: Aidan Hutchinson
    • Marvin: Also Daniel Jones (“I was talking crazy about them… Sorry, cold take!” [27:28])
    • Paul: Wonders if missing games through injury is enough for eligibility (“Does Daniel Jones…is that enough to get him the award?” [27:32])
    • Dan: Christian McCaffrey (“Even with Mac Jones in there…he’s going to be the offensive player of the year and the comeback player of the year for a Niner team that makes the playoffs.” [27:53])

---

5. Tua Tagovailoa Praises Josh Allen—Too Honest?

• [22:49] – [24:54] The group reacts to media “controversy” after Tua called Josh Allen “top tier…that dude can do literally anything he wants” and admitted he can’t match Allen’s arm strength or running skills.
  • Paul argues it’s “a lot of detail” for standard pregame flattery, but Dan pushes back: “I don’t know why they’re critical…coaches gush about coaches and teams all the time.” (Dan, [23:54])
  • Todd thinks Tua may have gone too far: “You respect the opponent but that’s like, ‘I wish I was Josh. I’ll still try my best anyway.’” (Todd, [24:02])
  • Dan notes it can be a smart move—build up the opponent, look even better if you win.

---

6. The Culture of Sports Statues, Tradition & Personal Memories

• [31:26] – [34:23] Beyond athletes: Listeners suggest commemorating the Danettes, share personal academic stories (“C's get degrees!”). There’s mutual ribbing about whether statuary ought to remember “back in the day” bodies or present-day ones.

Notable Exchange

• “If Fritzy decides to do it and he’s nude, then I will pay for the statue. Would you like a statue like—you would be our David!” (Dan, [32:02])
• “From a David statue standpoint, I think I’m doing pretty well on the bottom half. I don’t like to brag…” (Todd, [32:11])

---

7. College Football Calls & Listener Engagement

• [15:37] – [16:34] Listeners challenge Dan and the Danettes to a “Pie in the Face” (and/or spray tan) bet for the upcoming Oregon Ducks vs. Penn State Nittany Lions football game. (Seaton agrees to take Penn State and risk a spray tan, [48:06])
• [28:22] – [30:59] Coaching hot seat talk: Listeners (and Dan) discuss what teams and ownership expect with midseason firings, and the challenges of midseason turnarounds.

---

8. Miscellaneous & Memorable Moments

• [04:37] – [05:38] Dan describes listening to Sabrina Carpenter with his daughter—trying to “evolve” musically: “Just trying to evolve here with my music…You should try it, Marvin. Evolve a little bit.” (Dan, [04:47])
• [37:27] – [41:13] Callers share 20th anniversary plans, best restaurants in San Antonio, and Dan recounts a dinner with Mark Jackson, John Barry, and Patrick Ewing—uncovering Ewing’s warmth and down-to-earth character.
• [53:04] – [53:09] Unexpected turn as Laura calls in to declare Paulie a “sex symbol” for his sweater choices; the Danettes run with the comedy about fashion faux pas and fan requests.

---

Notable Quotes & Timestamps

  “You’re playing catcher and doing something no switch hitter’s ever done before. If he gets to 60, there’s no doubt in my mind…he’s the MVP.” ([11:05])
• Dan on Shohei Ohtani:
  “It just sounds different coming off his bat…As a pitcher, you just hand the umpire a new ball.” ([12:29], [12:41])

  “Who’s to say what is art?” (Dan, [08:21])
• On Statue Authenticity:
  “If Fritzy decides to do it and he’s nude, then I will pay for the statue. You would be our David.” (Dan, [32:02])

• On Sports Statues:

Final hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the Danets Dan Patrick show. Last night, making dinner with one of my daughters. And all of a sudden, she goes, I'm gonna put on some music. All right? I said, all right. So she starts to play some music. I recognize it. It's Sabrina Carpenter. And I listened to Sabrina Carpenter for about an hour last night, and I. I hadn't done that before. And I give her credit. I thought she was just one of these, look at me, pop artists. But she has a lot of talent and great hooks and in her songs, and she is a pop star. So just trying to evolve here with my music. So I'm not just listening to, you know, dad rock. You should try it, Marvin. Evolve a little bit.

[Marvin]

What? Dad rock?

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, with.

[Marvin]

Evolve with music, I kind of stay right in 90s, early 2000s.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but Fritz, he's in the 80s. And I'm like, I'm forcing myself to get into today. And then my daughter said, all right, I'm gonna put this on. You can't change it. And we listened to Sabrina Carpenter for an hour last night. Yes, Mark.

[Marvin]

Yeah, my son gets annoyed. Oh, Cisco Radio on Pandora again.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Your mom asked for it. By the way, we did some research on the Rocky movie because I. I Saw. This is random. To start this hour, I'm just gonna warn you from Sabrina Carpenter, the obvious. Oh, by the way, Cardi B. Is pregnant with Stefan Diggs. Is a child, Right? Yeah. Sources close to me tell me that Cardi B. Is pregnant. I believe this would be her fourth child. First with Stefan Diggs. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

He completed the process.

[Dan Patrick]

He did Saturday college football live on NBC. And Peacock, Maryland, Wisconsin, Purdue, Notre Dame. Finally, Big Ten Saturday night, Illinois and Indiana. We were talking about at the end of the hour, Rocky. Sylvester Stallone was on with Jimmy Kimmel. Or was it Jimmy found Jimmy Fallon. And they're talking about a scene in Rocky where Rocky runs up the steps. That's the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He runs up the steps, but he's carrying his dog from the movie. And he said, you know, the dog weighs 130 pounds. He said, I got halfway up. And I said, the dog is out of the scene. I. I'm just going to run up there. There's 72 steps leading up to the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. And I was wondering, because I've been there and I've run up the steps, and I stood there by the statue. Sylvester Stallone gifted a statue to Philadelphia and outside the Museum of Art. And this was after, I think after Rocky III or. Or prior to Rocky iii. Paulie.

[Paul]

It was used as a prop in Rocky III for a scene shooting he donated to the city of Philadelphia.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, that's kind. And here is my gift. Me, a statue of me. I don't now.

[Seaton]

You're welcome.

[Dan Patrick]

Sylvester Stallone had one at his house in California, Los Angeles. But I think he sold that house to Adele. But out by the pool is a statue of Rocky that you see in the movie. And I don't know if he took that with him when he sold the house to Adele. If you're Adele, do you say, hey, I want the statue of Sylvester Stallone in my backyard? You know, Seaton.

[Seaton]

I don't think I pay for it. If I want it. If it's there, cool. And I'll leave it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

But I'm not gonna, like, fight over it. Like, it's, you know, the swing set, and I got a little kid, you.

[Dan Patrick]

Know, I think I would. I would want to have the statue be like, why not? Kind of a cool conversation piece. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

It makes it special and unique. It's not like, oh, I want to keep the slanty kitchen floor. Because that's something a little eccentric that not a lot of kitchens have. That's something you would totally keep. That's what makes it a little extra special.

[Dan Patrick]

So you're equating a slanty kitchen floor? No.

[Todd]

Sometimes people like weird, unique things about their homes, like as a selling point in the future or why they're interested in that property in the first place. How could you have them, say, get that removed? That's crazy.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

There was a bit of a debate in the 2000s. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Art Commission debated whether the Rocky statue was art. And they removed it for a while and put it in front of the spectrum, the arena. And then they. The new mayor took charge and said, this is a great tourist attraction. Let's put it back at the base of the steps.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, who's to say what is art? The.

[Paul]

The art commission said it's a movie prop, not art, back in the day and removed it for a while.

[Dan Patrick]

But can a movie prop be art?

[Paul]

Anything can.

[Dan Patrick]

It's in the eye of the beholder. I don't know. I wouldn't have a problem with that.

[Marvin]

Yes, Marvin, The Kate Winslet painting in Titanic. That's art.

[Paul]

It's random.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Yeah.

[Paul]

Very random.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Marvin.

[Seaton]

I don't disagree with that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Seaton]

I don't disagree with that statement.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

So Sylvester Stallone had the same statue at his house in Los Angeles, I.

[Dan Patrick]

Believe, out by the pool, he had a similar statue. Yeah.

[Paul]

And so the person who bought that house, Adele.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh.

[Paul]

Do we know if she kept a statue or let it go?

[Dan Patrick]

Don't know. That's what we're talking about. Do we? Do you keep the statue? I'm guessing you do if you're a Dell. I don't want them tearing something out and then I gotta, you know, leave it out there. It's Rocky. He's always watching over you. Couple of phone calls in here. Would you update the poll results there, Seaton?

[Seaton]

Heck, yeah. We've got not a lot of baseball poll questions this year, but we got one today. Okay, that's pretty fun. Would you rather hit 60 home runs in a season? 500 home runs in a career? 3,000 hits in a career. Right now, 3,000 hits in a career has about 49% of the vote. 500 home runs in a career has 45% of that vote. 60 dingers in a season only has about 7% of the vote. That's crazy.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I don't want. I mean, it's nice to hit 60, but if you said I could have 3,000, I'm going into the hall of Fame. 500 home runs. I'm probably going into the hall of fame. 60 just means, hey, you had a nice year. Roger Maris. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

Just to put a ball on our previous conversation, I'm looking at something in the Hollywood Reporter from June of 2023. Sylvester Stallone says before Dell bought his mansion, she told him no deal without the Rocky stock. He demanded that it has to.

[Dan Patrick]

I like it. I love Adele. That's probably a fifty million dollar home. How much was it, Paul?

[Paul]

$58 million Adele paid for Sly Stallone's Beverly park mansion. And yes, confirmed in the LA Times she wanted to keep the statue.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, rightfully so. By the way, speaking of baseball hitting home runs, here is Cal Raleigh. He hit two last night. Swung on, hit well. Center field. It's going back. Isbel at the warning track at the wall. He has done it. Home run. Cal Rawley. He has tied Ken Griffey Jr. For the most in Seattle Mariners history. Number 56 for Cal Raleigh. Good for him. And he's done damage from both sides of the plate. He's a really good catcher there. In first place. I don't know if he's going to win the MVP. DraftKings has Aaron Judge still the favorite there, but I would give it to Cal Raleigh. And I'm not looking at voter fatigue with this. I'm looking at that's not an easy ballpark to hit bombs out of. And you're, you know, going to maybe win the division. I gotta, I gotta give you extra credit. And you're playing catcher and you're doing something that no switch hitter has ever done before and you've hit 56. If he gets to 60, there's no doubt in my mind. Now I know he doesn't have a great batting average, but who does nowadays? Although Aaron Judge has a decent one. Shohei Otani, five no hit innings. And this last night, the one oh pitch. Ohtani launches high in the air, deep right field. Number 50 emphatically leaves the yard on a night he started the game and through five no hit innings. He then comes up to the plate in the eighth and launches home. Home run number 50 on the season. Once again, it just sounds different coming off his bat. The one, it does it just. Unless the microphones are really, really good at Dodger Stadium. But maybe he brings his own microphones up with him. Maybe he has him in like his belt or shoes or something. One more time. Yeah, it's just if you're a pitcher, you're like, damn, that's all you have to hear that's it. Then you know it's gone. Yes. Marvin.

[Marvin]

You don't even turn around to see if it went out?

[Dan Patrick]

Nope. That's where you say to the umpire, blue, give me a ball. And then umpires. Umpires wait a little longer, you know, because they want to milk the moment a little bit for the player, you know, like, you know, he's going to get the ball here. Otani gets a second. All right, I'll throw it. Pitcher starts to rub it up, puts his head down. Jason and desmonet. Hi, Jace. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey. Hey, Dan. How's it going?

[Dan Patrick]

Good.

[Caller]

First time, long time. 5, 9 and way too much. Wanted to play procedure or surgery with you guys.

[Dan Patrick]

Procedure or surgery? Okay.

[Caller]

Yeah. So I'm having a meniscus root tear repair surgery or procedure like a normal meniscus. They sew it back together, but the trick is they have to lasso it into place. So they drill a hole through your bone in your lower tibia to tie it down.

[Dan Patrick]

That's a surgery. That's a very, very complex surgery there, Jason. I wish you well. I have somebody in my family. They were walking down the steps, and they missed the last step, landed awkwardly, and they had to have that surgery. That is a very difficult surgery. Rob in Philly. Hi, Rob. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. Love you guys. Just polly stole my thunder, but, yeah, The Rocky statue was originally at the art museum, Then it got moved to the spectrum for years, and then now back side of the steps by the art museum and all that. Love you guys. Went to ole miss this weekend, Watch an awesome game, visit my daughter in college. And, Marvin, you kind of go huskies. Take care.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Thank. That's Robin. Philly. Yeah, I've been there, and I've run up the steps in Philadelphia. Yeah. I don't know if I ran up all the steps, but, you know, I ran up and then stopped, I think, and then ran up the steps after that. Yeah. Mark, did you. No, no, no, no. But somebody in my family wanted to play the music, and then I said, if you want to play the music and dance around, I'll take a picture of you. Yes.

[Seaton]

When I was younger, me and my cousin ran up the. And then I think my mom was, like, taking a picture of us with her arms over our head, and a bunch of kids walked by who must have been from Philadelphia, and they were.

[Dan Patrick]

Like, oh, yeah, I saw a movie, too.

[Seaton]

And there isn't a single time that I hear Philadelphia, rocky or those stairs that.

[Dan Patrick]

That immediately doesn't echo through. Yeah, yeah, I saw a movie, too.

[Todd]

That Philly behavior starts at a young age.

[Dan Patrick]

That's true. Yes.

[Seaton]

At the time, I didn't get it.

[Dan Patrick]

But now I'm like, oh, you know.

[Seaton]

Hit the nail right on the head there.

[Dan Patrick]

Pete in Palm Springs. Hi, Pete. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Good morning, Dan61205. Hey, I'm calling because we need to spend more time talking about the number one team in the country, not the Oregon Ducks. And I am here to do a pie in the face challenge with anybody there wants to challenge me for the Oregon at 10 state game. Straight up. I'll take the duck. Anybody want to take me up on a pie for the Penn State nitty Lions?

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, any takers on the other side? Pete and Palm Springs talking a big game. Oregon going to Happy Valley, Nittany alliance a big one. What's the. What's the line there? Like three and a half? Penn State. Do you know what it is, Pete?

[Caller]

Yeah, it's two and a half points.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, two and a half. Penn State. Okay. All right. Anybody want a piece of Pete?

[Seaton]

Really thinking about it.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Okay. Really thinking about it. Okay.

[Seaton]

What about this? What about this, Peter?

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, Peter.

[Seaton]

I'll take that bet. But the loser has to get a spray tan.

[Caller]

Oh, spray tan. Come on, let's do a pie in the face.

[Dan Patrick]

No, we bad. Larry on the gambling podcast has to get a spray tan. Does he really? Yes. He lost a bet.

[Caller]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes. Pete, spray tan.

[Caller]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow, you're better than that piece. Better than that. Soft. Soft. Yes.

[Marvin]

Marvin, I'll chance off with you.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you were. Thank you.

[Todd]

Sounds like he's ducking the situation.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Todd]

I don't know. It seems like.

[Dan Patrick]

Hang up on him. He's Oregon.

[Caller]

Okay.

[DoorDash Announcer]

Gotta be a topper.

[Dan Patrick]

How about we take a break? Okay, why not? Yeah, I think we covered a lot of territory the last 15 minutes there. Sabrina Carpenter, Cardi B. Is pregnant. Rocky statue and spray tans.

[Dan Patrick]

Phone calls coming up. I saw where Tuatanga Violoa was criticized for maybe being too honest while praising Josh Allen. He was asked about Josh Allen and some say maybe he was too honest. He calls Josh Allen a top tier if it's not with his arm, it's with his legs that do can do literally anything he wants. Definitely a different skill set for me. I can't do half of what he does when it comes to running the ball in any of that and then how he can just chuck the ball downfield and how far and the arm strength he has he's supreme when it comes to that. Okay.

[Paul]

Actually, he's correct.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Like what part of that do you have a problem with?

[Paul]

I see what they're saying though, being critical of that because in those Tuesday press conferences you always over compliment the next opponent. But to say he's that much better than me in certain categories, that seems like a lot of detail.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I don't know why they're critical of him that. You know, coaches gush about coaches and teams all the time. Yes, Todd.

[Todd]

I think it was a little too much. And you know, you know, you have to put bulletin board Michelle. But you have to go extremely the other way. And there is niceties that you can say and you respect the opponent, but that's like, I wish I was Josh. I'll still try my best anyway.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. But there's nothing wrong with kind of propping him up and then if you happen to beat him, then it makes you look even better that you took down somebody who's invincible. I don't have any problem with that. If the. If the Dolphins are two and oh, do people have a problem with that? It feels like they're owing to. And whatever they do, it's going to be wrong. Okay. I got too much other things. Too many other things to worry about then is to a gushing too much. By the way, is there a better game than the Eagles and Rams this weekend? Rematch from the postseason. Rams just ran out of time. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

Not better. But in that ilk. Broncos at Chargers. Chargers only favored by two and a half.

[Dan Patrick]

I would say the Lions at the Ravens would be the competition with the Rams and the Eagles. Lions at the Raven.

[Paul]

That's Monday Night Football.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, it is. That's spicy as well. Let's see. James in Virginia is back. Hi, James.

[Caller]

Oh, thank you for taking my call, brother. Happy Wednesday, dp. Damn it, man. Salute the commanders, man. But I'm calling today about baseball, man. I love baseball and growing up, man. Ozzy Smith, when I was a yeah, man, doing the backflips was something amazing. And then the kid showed up with the sweetest swing you ever seen. And if you didn't have a pair of Griffeys, which I never had a pair, but you always wanted a pair of Griffeys. When I was a kid, man, they were some sweet shoes. He transcended baseball. The captain, man, number two. You never seen anybody like it. The way he played the game until show. Hey, Ohtani. Oh my God. Dp they used to say say hey. Now they say, oh, hey, for shohei. Because this gu do it all. Not only is he hitting dingers 50 already again this year, but he can throw fire from the mound, man. 99 mile an hour fastball. Got a slider, a curve and a sinker, man. And this must have been what it was like when you watched Babe Ruth back in the day, just hoping that he would deliver. And every time, this guy delivers, so happy we get to watch him. Hope everybody appreciates them. I appreciate you, D.P. y' all have a wonderful day. Gentlemen, salute the commanders.

[Dan Patrick]

That's James in Virginia. It crammed a lot in there. Oh, I have the comeback player of the year odds, but you gotta lock in now. Going into week three, who is your comeback player of the year? The favorite is Christian McCaffrey. Then Dak Prescott, Aiden Hutchinson, Daniel Dimes, Trevor Lawrence, Nick Chubb, J.J. mcCarthy, Hunter Renfro, Max Crosby. Todd, I'll start with you. Your comeback player of the year is.

[Todd]

I saw what he just did against my Broncos. I'm gonna jump on your bandwagon a little bit. And I think over the course of the next several weeks, Daniel Jones will prove that he's made a significant step forward in his career.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, Seaton, I'm gonna go.

[Seaton]

Aiden Hutchinson. I think he's the guy.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin.

[Marvin]

I'm also gonna go with Daniel Jones.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Yeah. Come on aboard.

[Marvin]

I was talking crazy about them. Sorry. Cold chance.

[Paul]

Paul, does Daniel Jones now, he was injured part of last season, so that's enough to get him the award, I believe.

[Dan Patrick]

Same with Trevor Lawrence, I think, and his feelings were hurt, too. Oh, man.

[Paul]

Prescott's gonna put up monstrous numbers this year because he has to. He's gonna get it.

[Dan Patrick]

I'll stay with Christian McCaffrey because I have him as my offensive player of the year. I'm going to assume even with Mac Jones in there that he's going to put up big numbers. He's going to be the offensive player of the year and the comeback player of the year for a Niner team that makes the playoffs. How does that sound? Who's with me?

[Todd]

That's pretty high.

[Marvin]

I'm with you.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you. Yeah. Oh, well, you're a Niner fan. Craig in Pennsylvania. Hi, Craig.

[Caller]

Hey. How's it going?

[Dan Patrick]

Good, Craig.

[Caller]

Good. So I'm just questioning about these firing of all the coaches. I'm not a Dolphins fan, but use McDaniels as an example. What do you think ownership's expectations are for the rest of a season when they fire coaches early? I mean, even if there's a small chance go to the playoffs. Are they just telling fans, sorry, the stores closed, see you next year? And one other thing. See, and I think we have a lot of similar taste in music. Have you ever listened to the Tragically Hip? And if you did, what do you think of them?

[Seaton]

I didn't listen to a lot of Tragically Hip. Gotta admit. Okay, I really didn't. But I will today on the way home from work. I'll report back to you another day.

[Dan Patrick]

That's the way we do it around here, Craig. If we haven't done it, then we'll try to do it. You know, their owners who they want to show the fan base, hey, we're not going to put up with this. And then they fire somebody mid season. But also there's owners that worry that if you don't fire them, let's say at the end of the year I'm firing this guy and let's say it's Mike McDaniel. What if Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins go on a five game run, they win five games in a row, then you've already made that decision. And I go back to the Knicks. The Knicks were going to fire Tom Thibodeau and then all of a sudden they make this incredible playoff run and then it just looks bad. Like, wait a minute, why are you firing him? Well, because I was going to fire him and I didn't know they were going to go on this run in the postseason. Yes.

[Marvin]

Marv, who's under more pressure this weekend to not get Molly whopped? Mike McDaniel or Brian Dabel? They both have standalone primetime games.

[Dan Patrick]

The Giants play the Chiefs Sunday Night Football. What's the, what's the line on that? Because that's, that's in New York, isn't it? So maybe the Giants are five point getting five. How's that sound?

[Marvin]

Five and a half.

[Dan Patrick]

Five and a half. Okay. Oh, my old gambling ways are coming back. Once again, I don't know anybody in the Giants organization and, and therefore, I don't know, you know, kind of what the feeling is with Brian D. Is he safe? Ross Tucker just said Kevin Stefanski is safe in Cleveland. I'm like, okay. But you know, sometimes you get that feeling of somebody better turn it around. And with Brian D. Feels like clock is ticking on him and Stefanski and Mike McDaniel.

[Paul]

Yeah, Pauline, sometimes the way out of it for coaches, you go to the Jackson Dart, bring in the rookie halfway through the season and if you get a little momentum, you get your job for another Year.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. If that quarterback plays well, then you don't want to lose him. You know, you're like, oh, you guys. You somehow figured this out, and he played well, and we had momentum at the end of the year. Shuffles in Phoenix. Hi, Shuffles. Welcome back.

[Caller]

Good morning, everybody. And I'm. You guys are talking about these statues, and I'm wondering if there's any chance we could start a commission or a gofundme to raise money to make a statue for tot fridge Fritz Magic. You could put out in the outdoor kitchen a statue of Fritzi. Is there any chance we could ever do anything like that?

[Dan Patrick]

If Fritz. He decides to do it and he's nude, then I will pay for the statue. Would you like a statue like you would be our David? Wow. Are you interested in a statue where you're completely nude?

[Todd]

I would be hesitant to do that. I have to start doing a lot of stomach crunches and things like that, which I don't see happening anytime soon. I'm very proud about the.

[Dan Patrick]

I've only got two and a half years before I retire.

[Todd]

From a. From a David statue standpoint, I think I'm doing pretty well on the bottom half. I don't like to brag, so it wouldn't be because of that reason. You have to be the waistline in the hips to. So I'll leave it at that.

[Dan Patrick]

What if we modified the statue, did.

[Todd]

Some kind of AI kind of stuff?

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe we made you a little thinner.

[Todd]

That has to be a lot thinner. But if we're. But then it's not really.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I'm a journalist. I mean, I'm just throwing it out there, but I'm a journalist.

[Todd]

But if it's not authentic, it's just forever a reminder of, you know, that it's just not the real deal.

[Dan Patrick]

What about a statue of you back in the day?

[Todd]

That's another story. I had that little run there for a couple years.

[Dan Patrick]

You did. You didn't take advantage of it.

[Todd]

Discovered Kit Kats and M M's after.

[Dan Patrick]

That, I guess you. You. You didn't do any damage.

[Todd]

Not as much as I should have, that's for sure.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, my God.

[Todd]

I was a little too shy. Even back then, I think I was.

[Dan Patrick]

A little too shy. You had your shirt off at every waking hour, walking around with your shirt.

[Todd]

Off and, like, you know, chatting everybody up and stuff. And I was very into my academics where, like, I had to get 100 on every test. And foolishly, you know, everything has to be an A. I should have spent more time with the social stuff.

[Dan Patrick]

C's get degrees. Time.

[Todd]

They really do.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Todd]

Learn the hard way.

[Dan Patrick]

C's get degrees. Yeah. I couldn't be bothered by those pesky books. My mom would always say, why don't you bring home homework? I go, I don't have any. It wasn't true. I never brought home any books. Oh, I. I don't have any homework. Meanwhile, you know, my. My sisters would bring home every book that they had in their desk. Yes. Yeah.

[Marvin]

It wasn't good when you came home and you had no book bag whatsoever.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

Oh, Marvin, you're not going to school or you're coming home with a book bag. Nah, man. No homework.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I didn't have a book bag. And then I even said to my mom, I said, get me a book bag. And then she got me a book bag and then I had to start bringing home books. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

It's funny though, because it's really hard to get Cs and C pluses without reading the material or studying in any way. That's like an accomplishment.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, it is. Yes. Now for the kids out there, study. Don't be like me. Don't be like Paul. But then you don't want to be like Fritz either. Yeah.

[Todd]

There's got to be a middle. Middle of the road. Ground there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

So bees.

[Dan Patrick]

B minus. B minus. B. Rabbit. Yes. Marvin. Oh, yes. Todd.

[Todd]

But failing to prepare is a.

[Dan Patrick]

Preparing. Prepare. Okay, we got it.

[Marvin]

Relax. John Wooden.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Dylan says that he is willing to paint a nude portrait of Todd and we hang it in the kitchen.

[Todd]

He just wants to see me naked. Has nothing to do with an artistic expression of any sort. We've had conversations backstage over there.

[Dan Patrick]

Would you want a nude portrait in the kitchen?

[Todd]

I would hang naked with Dylan. I don't know if I want the portrait part. We could just kind of hang out and get some pizza and just.

[Dan Patrick]

No, that's really weird.

[Todd]

I don't know. I don't think we need a naked portrait of me. And maybe when I was 16, 17, 18. Not now.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Jeff in Omaha. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. First time, long time. 511, 185. So right after the fight on Saturday night, my buddy started screaming about how we need to get a statue of Terence Crawford in the city of Omaha. I was wondering, what athlete or famous celebrity from your guys hometowns would you want to have a statue of? Thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm not big on statues. I don't. It always feels like a hundred years from now somebody's going to bring up something and then all of a sudden we're going to go, why does he got a statue? I. I'm good without a statue of anybody that I, you know, loved growing up. I don't need a Johnny Bench statue in Cincinnati. I'm fine with that. Yes. Marva.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Marvin]

The P.T. barnum statue in Bridgeport is really aging all that well. People don't know who that is.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Paulie.

[Paul]

But like with the Cincinnati Reds, you had too many good players to do statues. In that run. There wasn't one statue guy like Tony Gwynn gets a statue. He's a standalone.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I don't know if you need a statue. I mean, when you go to see a Bulls game, you get to see the Jordan statue. I mean, I'm fine with that. You go to the Lakers, you could see all those statues. Yeah, Marvin.

[Marvin]

And in sports, statues are for iconic players, not. Oh, they were really good. Like Steph Curry is a statue guy. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are retired jersey guys.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Paul]

Paulie, you know, the Pete Rose statue in Cincinnati is awesome. If you haven't seen. I've never seen it in person, but he's diving into third base. I don't know how they did it. I'm looking at the physics of it. I don't understand it, but it's fan. His hair is flying back.

[Dan Patrick]

But I don't know if that was when he was sliding into third in 1975 in the world Series against the Red Sox because Pete always slid head first. But for some reason, I remember him sliding into third against the Red Sox. Let's see. C in Glendora. I see.

[Caller]

Hey, what's up, Dan? How you doing? How you guys doing today?

[Dan Patrick]

Good.

[Caller]

So 20 years ago today, my wife Sarah made the greatest decision of her life to marry me. No, I'm kidding. She's actually. I'm the one who made the great decision. But we're heading out this year. It's a 20 year anniversary and we're heading out to San Antonio and just wondering if you guys have some good ideas for a restaurant. And she's having a birthday coming up on the 23rd. Wonder if you could guys could do a little happy birthday for her and what's her name? Sarah.

[Dan Patrick]

Sarah, yeah. Happy birthday. Yeah. I don't know. See, I've been a while since I've been in San Antonio, so I wouldn't. I'm not a good Yelper, so I don't. I don't know if I Could help you in San Antonio. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

Last time we're there. I don't remember the specific restaurants, but breakfast tacos there are legit. Go out for breakfast.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, that's right. We were there for the final four. And then. What's the steakhouse? I went when I first got to know Patrick Ewing, when I went with Mark Jackson and John Barry. I can't remember. Yeah, Paulie Dean's Steakhouse. J.

[Paul]

Prime. Just reading off a couple.

[Dan Patrick]

Mike. I don't know.

[Paul]

Brenner's.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, that's that one I've been to, but I don't know if it was. I wasn't invited to that dinner.

[Paul]

Awesome.

[Dan Patrick]

That's when John Barry. So Mark Jackson, John Barry and myself, we were covering the NBA finals. And I remember that we said to Mark, hey, we're going to go to dinner. And he goes, no, I got plans. And we're like, well, we'll join you. He goes, no, I'm. I'm going out with somebody who doesn't like the media. I go, well, you're the media. He goes, no, I'm a former player. I said, who are you going with? And he goes, I'm. I'm going to dinner with Patrick Ewing. And then I go, okay, we'll let you go. Because I really had no contact interaction with Patrick Ewing. John Barry goes, bleep those guys. We're going to. So we're following Mark. Mark doesn't know we're following him. And then we walk in and we sit down, and Mark. Well, Mark's there with Patrick Ewing. And so Mark wants to get back at me because I wasn't invited to dinner. And he's like, tell. Tell Patrick. Tell Patrick. You know who you would take between Patrick and Akeem Olajuan. Go ahead, tell him. And Ewing is there, and his legs are, like, spilled out, you know, outside of the table. And I said, I would have taken Akeem Olajuwon. And Patrick says, that's the right answer. And we sat there the whole night. And even to this day, Patrick Ewing has become a friend. He reached out to me last week. He said, hey, just thinking of you. And I said, you know, thank you. I said, we got to have dinner. He goes, we do. In New York. And I said, all right, great. And I'd love to go to a game with him, but you want to talk about a bad rap for somebody? He got it because of the whole Hoya paranoia in Georgetown. He could not. He is a very, very nice person and has been that way since I was getting, you know, when I was sick and I wasn't feeling well and he reached out and he still reaches out. He'll say, how you feeling? That'll be it. And I'll just say, I'm feeling better. How are you? But yeah, odd that. I mean, you think Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing becoming best friends during the Dream Team, Me and Patrick Ewing becoming friends. That's even Otter. Yes, Marvin.

[Marvin]

But Mark Jackson act like you said. Benoit Benjamin was better than Patrick Ewing.

[Dan Patrick]

Chris Washburn is right. Felton Spencer's been, oh, my God, Mark. Mark thought he had me because I wasn't gonna say a came and I'm like, a came and Patrick goes. That's the right answer.

Chase Daniel, former quarterback, will join us on the program tomorrow. I love it when he breaks down film, game film. As a former quarterback, he said that this quarterback is playing maybe the best of any quarterback so far during two games. You guys want to guess which quarterback? Now I'm gonna. I'm gonna have an asterisk or a caveat to this because the quarterbacks who have played the best are. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen, of course, he singled out this quarterback for just how good he has been this year. And I think then I'll ask you tomorrow. This quarterback hasn't played the best, but he has played really, really well. Marvin, who do you think Chase Daniel is singling out? It's playing great.

[Marvin]

Justin Herbert.

[Dan Patrick]

No, Paul.

[Paul]

Oh, that was my guess. Daniel Jones.

[Seaton]

Penn State.

Yeah. He said straight up that he didn't need the points against Penn State.

Oh, I don't. I know. I don't I mean, this is really for the women out there, Krista. It's not for me. It's for the ladies. But Todd, I would commission a statue. You just have to be naked.

[Todd]

I'm gonna have to give that some thought.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Todd]

There's not a no, though.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right. Vinnie in San Antonio. Hi, Vinny. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey. Hey, Dan. How are you today? Good, good. 6 foot 2? 15. I have some excellent recommendations in San Antonio. All right, so we're gonna throw out. The first is Mi Tierra, which is historic downtown San Antonio restaurant. Mi Tierra. Spanish translation my dirt, my land. Wonderful food, great ambiance, atmosphere in the heart of the fiesta era. And they have the best panaderia pandulce Mexican bakery in. In the downtown area. And then you have to write down El mira Sol. Mirazole is the Spanish word for sunflower. And they make a drink that is unforgettable. Unless you have more than three, then you'll forget everything. It's called the chispa.

[Dan Patrick]

The. The what?

[Caller]

Spa Cheeseburger. It is a margarita on steroids.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, thank you, Vinnie. See you. Ask in the audience. They will give you recommendations. Paulie, this day in sports history.

[Paul]

I also thought he said something else. The 1920 the American professional football association was formed in Canton, Ohio. Luckily, they changed the name to the national football league. In 1983, Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds retired after 16 years as a catcher. And Barry Bonds in 04 hit home run 700.

[Dan Patrick]

1955, Georgia Tech beat Miami. It was the first color telecast of a football game. I did not know that. 1955 Stat of the day, as always, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Laura in Colorado. Hi, Laura.

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. How are you?

[Dan Patrick]

Good. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Well, you know, I'm looking at my damn pastor calendar for this year and the month of September is half a Fritzy naked. I really don't think I want a full on naked Fritzy. But I was thinking for a calendar, shooting edge. What about that really hot short sleeved sweat sweater that Paulie wore into work one day?

[Dan Patrick]

That.

[Caller]

Now that is hot.

[Dan Patrick]

And who do you want to wear that?

[Caller]

Polly.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay. Well, Laura wants the sleeveless sweater.

[Caller]

And then if he's on the keynote with it, I can play a little rush music with it and, you know, never know what happens.

[Paul]

We take requests.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow. Okay.

[Paul]

That took a turn.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Laura. Now, Todd's sad that she doesn't want to see him.

[DoorDash Announcer]

It was a little shot.

[Dan Patrick]

It wasn't.

[Todd]

Certainly wasn't complimentary, but that's okay. I'll get over it.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul, do you have a sleeveless sweater? Is it the. That.

[Marvin]

That Family Feud?

[Paul]

That one I wore in Family Feud, that like orangeish red sweater shirt?

[Dan Patrick]

Laura, can you describe it a little more, but very slowly?

[Caller]

One that everybody had, like, they either hated it or people thought, oh, my God, that's totally what Paul would wear. He had an event after the show and he wore it. It was like white with a stripe across it.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, oh, yeah, the white one with the blue stripes. Yeah, we could do that. I agree with Laura. That was hot. Thank you. Thank you. See, what did you learn today, Todd?

[Todd]

Besides that? I'm gonna go with a dabo. Swinney isn't retiring anytime soon. If he's no longer wanted or appreciated Clemson, he'll surely coach somewhere else.

[Dan Patrick]

Seton, what did you learn today?

[Seaton]

Laura's looking forward to a little me time.

[Dan Patrick]

Little pee time. Okay. All right. Marvin.

[Marvin]

Paulie, sex symbol.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Who knew?

[Paul]

Paul, a sweater shirt and Getty Lee equals P time.
