This September at the Psychology of your Twenties we're breaking down the very interesting ways psychology applies to real life, like why we crave external validation. I find it so interesting that we are so quick to believe others judgments of us and our own judgment of ourselves. So according to the study, not being liked actually creates similar pain levels as real life physical pain. Learn more about the psychology of everyday life and of course your twenties. This September, listen to the psychology of your twenties on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Final hour on this Friday. It's a meet Friday at that and in case you're wondering, we have meatball subs, we have bratwurst, bacon, cheeseburgers and all of the meat is courtesy of Heartland Steaks company. That's our newest sponsor and it's the best steak you'll have. Heartland Steak Meat company thank you for all that you're doing for the program and glad to have you on board with the DP show Sunday night. You got reigning MVP and two time MVP Lamar Jackson, Ravens bills Sunday 7 Eastern on NBC and Peacock spent a lot of time recapping what we saw last night. Not only the Eagles winning the game, Jaylen Carter, Dak Prescott's role in that and does the NFL add a further punishment, maybe a fine to him, maybe Dak Prescott as well. But bigger picture, the Eagles hold off the Cowboys and I thought it said a lot about the Cowboys that defense isn't, I didn't think great, but they did a good job in taking away Jalen Hurts his weapons. The problem is they didn't take away Jalen Hurts. And that's where I kept thinking Micah Parsons would have made a bigger impact and you needed somebody who was going to be able to chase a monitor, track down Jalen Hurts. And they did not have that. They did a good job. If you would have said, hey, receivers aren't doing much. Saquon had 60 yards rushing. You're going to be like I feel pretty good. We can stay in that game. But Jalen Hurts was wonderful. As for the Cowboys, CD Lamb giveth and taketh away. If he holds on to the football, if he has a couple of those catches, they win. Miles Sanders had a fumble like they could have won that game. And I think that's the surprising part of this. You know, Eagles were favored by eight and a half. You know, if you have the over in that game and you're going before the lightning, you're going. Got that, Got that. No problem. I think the first eight possessions, points were scored, and then the next eight possessions, no points were scored. And if you had the under, you were a winner. There's always reminders every weekend of why I don't bet, and I'm looking for these reminders. So I'm. I'm always tempted to bet because there are times when I go, man, I feel really good about this, but I'll say that on the gambling podcast, I feel really good about this, but, you know, I. Every. Every Sunday, when I did Football Night in America, and I would go to NBC and Peter King would always say, at around 12:45, Dan, who do you like? And I'd give him one game, and I'll bet I hit 75% of those. But there's no pressure. I'm not betting any money other than I'm saying it to. Fifteen people are in the, you know, the monitoring studio that we have there watching all the games. But when it's your money and it's on the line, then all of a sudden you're like. Because I. I said I would take Dallas. I thought that they were going to lose by three, so I would have won that. I would have said, take the over. And it certainly looked like that. It's like, man, they got 41 points already. This is. We got this made. And then all of a sudden, there was three points after that. Yes, Marvin, an underrated play last night was Miles Sanders getting caught from behind by the linebacker Bond. Yeah. And I was like, oh, you should be in an NFL running back. You should not be caught by. And then he fumbled the next play. Yep. He scores the touchdown like he ran as if nobody was behind him. And, I mean, you're a running back. Do a little zig or a zag. And he got caught. And then they fumbled. And then Dak makes that shoestring tackle. Yes, Paul. Zach Bond is really a phenomenon. He kind of came out of nowhere when he got to the Eagles. He was not that well known. That play he made last night, he was on the opposite side. He ran through, hit traffic, and chased him down. It wasn't like that Buddha Baker, D.K. metcalf. But it was in the Nate. It was in the neighborhood as a middle linebacker to chase down a running back who's broken away. It's still one of my favorite plays of all time. When Buddha Baker thinks he's got a touchdown and DK Metcalf, all of a sudden you're watching and going, he's faster than. It's like, what's. Is it Atlanta, where they had the Flash at the Braves game, and. And, you know, they give you a head start, and then is it the brewers or the Braves that they have the Flash, and then he runs. Runs you down. That's what it looked like. You had, you know, somebody running like this, running as fast as they can, and then all of a sudden, the Flash, the Flash catches him. That's what it looked like. Alrighty. Merchandise store open, ready to go. A lot of new products there. Go to danpatrick.com STAT OF THE Day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, we gave you our super bowl picks. Mine. The Chiefs against the Lions. And Jalen Hurts is your MVP this year. All right. Big day yesterday because we had a watch party and Shay and Irving came in. Marvin stopped by, Paulie stopped by, and we showed some clips. We put them up on danpatrick.com everybody keeps saying, why don't you stream the whole thing? Okay, I'm going to say it again. I can't do that because I can't trust Shay. Shay can't trust Shay because he'll blurt out things, and even if he's not, you know, curse words, he's saying things that are inappropriate. And. And I needed Marvin there just so, you know, we could remind each other. And Big day. Ray was there filming all of this. That we can't stream it, at least not yet. But Nick Wright from Fox Sports, first things first. He FaceTimed us and he was like, hey, where's my invitation? We will do this again. We're thinking Green Bay Cowboys, end of the month, a Sunday night. Maybe we do that. But we'll let you know. A lot of fun. A lot of great reaction. Yes. Paulie, I gotta tell you, as a fan, like a outsider, I think I would enjoy seeing a Bronco game with Fritzi. Viewing party. That would be interesting. A tough Bronco game. I don't know if Todd's willing to do that. Got a little taste of that during the Super Bowl a while back. Yeah, that wasn't. You guys really enjoyed that. That was not good. That was not good. I get you. I left you guys off the hook because in the Second half, I went up to the hotel room, so I didn't ruin the entire experience. Well, we thought it was going to be, I mean, it was a Super bowl and it didn't go well. And then you, you know, hated that the Broncos weren't playing well. And then he went up to your room. When it comes to the playoffs, especially if the rare chance they get into the Super Bowl, I'm just a mess. And it's just, it's a, it's not something you want to really see. All right. By the way, big day, Ray is adopting a puppy. And then they had to take my dog Winnie to the owners of this puppy, and they wanted to see how the puppy interacted with my dog, since Winnie is going to be here at the Man Cave. And then big day, Ray is going to bring his puppy in. So we had to do a big thing. And then you had the back room guys. So Ray, you also had Tyler. They brought Winnie over, you know, to this adoption agency and they got to watch. And, you know, I saw the picture of the dog. Beautiful dog puppy. But, you know, he's got like different colors on him. Why is it when we look at a dog or a cat and they got like, you know, a spot over their one eye and they got this birthmark over here and this color, and we go, man, that's adorable. But if, like, if everyday people had those marks on them, you went, man, you're adorable. But you see these cats and dogs and you're like, or, or a dog, you know, looks ugly. It's ugly, but it's cute kind of thing. We just seem to go, yeah, look at that. That's awesome. Yeah, Paulie. So all puppies are cute or not all puppies are cute? I think all puppies are cute. Like all babies are adorable. Not all babies are adorable. But you must say it. You must say that. Yes, yes. That one's tough sometimes because you'll be like, oh, look at you. And then, you know, my wife will say, oh, she's adorable. Yeah, yeah. Paulie. One of my wife's friends had a baby boy and we saw the boy and we went over there and it had kind of chubby cheeks and a small little chin and a ring of hair on the outside, but not in the middle. And I'm casually made a joke, which was my downfall. He kind of looks like a 68 year old man. Oh, it still gets brought up. The kid's 15. I think that babies do look like old men. Yes, yes. Like they're like the Babies are like a person at the end of their life. Yes. Yes. Without wrinkles. Yes. I don't know that my son was five minutes old before I called him Danny DeVito. Not a compliment. He looked exactly like Danny DeVito. They were holding up a smaller version of Danny DeVito. Well, I've been known to say, hey, pumpkin head. And then my mic goes. I don't think everybody thinks that's a comp. Because we called my son you. Hey, you big pumpkin. Because he had a big noggin. But I could say it about my son. But then you see somebody, hey, look at you, pumpkinhead. And sometimes mothers, they're a little too sensitive about this. Come on. Yes, Todd. My mom would take me around in the carriage, and anytime anyone wanted to see me, my mom would say that I was sleeping, even if they could tell that I was making noises. And I was definitely not sleeping because for a period of time, she was embarrassed for them to. Why would she say that? And she's admitted it a number of times. And why would she tell you? I don't know. I'm supposedly the favorite too, but I was an unattractive baby and. Oh, no, no, no. He's sleeping. Another time. You can see him. By the way, the Cowboys play the Broncos Oct. 26, viewing party, question mark. That can get pretty wild. You Shay me, Marvin. Viewing party, Broncos, Cowboys. A lot of cursing, a lot of screaming, a lot of throwing up stuff. Yeah, we won't. We will. We'll just do clips like we did. We. We won't stream it because we can't. I mean, Shea, you know, you. He goes off the hand. I mean, he goes off the hinges. Yes. Marvin. Now watching Fritz, he watched the Broncos. Is this a different side of Fritzi that you guys don't see? Yes. This is like. I'm serious. I'm not even making any jokes. This would be onion bagel Fritzi. Oh, yes, this would be. I thought I would have matured over the years. I'm just as bad as I was when I was like a teenager screaming at the tv. You're passionate. You're a little petulant, but, I mean, you are passionate, but at some point you think as you get older, you have your priorities in order. You're a parent and everything, and you don't act like a 12 year old throwing a fit. Pete in Virginia. Hi, Pete. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. 61230. Awesome. Thanks for taking my call. Real quick. I got an idea for a T shirt, but my son Calvin called in last week and was super excited to talk to you, and we listened to the podcast together, and he was actually in your calendar a couple years ago as well. So I just wanted to say thanks for having him on. He's been telling everybody about it, so I thought that was really cool. Well, like I said, the reason I'm calling in is I've got a T shirt idea and kind of a rallying cry for Fritzi. It seems like Fritzi's been getting a lot of love from the callers the last few days. And with college football kicking off and everything, it kind of struck me that the perfect rallying cry for anybody supporting Todd and the sports across the country is, Roll, Todd. Roll Todd. Okay. I kind of like that. That's kind of fun. All right. Roll, Todd. Aaron in Texas. Hi, Aaron. What's on your mind, Aaron? Hey, D.P. dennis. Y' all hear me? Yeah. Gotcha. What's on your mind? And good morning. Good Friday. Ain't nobody got it better than me. Talking to Danny P. Carter incident last night. That's completely out of line. He was like three or four yards behind the line of scrimmage. You're the defensive leader. You need to be over there with your team and your huddle, getting your guys ready. And Dak Prescott, he's the leader of the Cowboys. You gotta. You gotta have more accountability, too. But, you know, saying, you gonna stand on business. Yeah, it neither. It. It shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have. But Dak did play a role. Jalen Carter allowed himself to be baited. Kenny in la. Hi, Kenny. Hey, Danny. First of all, great reference to the slide in the family stone with the everyday people calling out there. And I'm gonna take a final leap here. Go from Jalen Carter to Cal Ripken. How I get there is Carter last night reminded me of Robbie Alomar when he spit on John Hirschbeck, umpire. And Alomar joins the Orioles the year after Ripken broke Gehrig's executive game record. And that was. I don't know where you were. I was on business in Indianapolis. It was one of the most incredible scenes I've ever seen. Ricken took a 22 minute lap around. There was a 22 minute delay, and he hit a homer in the fourth. Yeah, yeah, we know what happened with Cal. Thank you. You don't have to open up scrapbook there. It's a wonderful moment. How about we do you know, I'm going to save who had the best week in sports. I'm going to Save that till after Steve Smith, Senior Junior iii, Duke and Boise. Hi, Duke. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Happy Friday. 61205 with all the, you know, outrage about the spitting and all that stuff, I'm curious if any of y' all saw I think it was in the third quarter, the left tackle for Dallas, Tyler Guyton, he was in pass pro and he's basically blocking the dn. I'm not quite sure who it was for the Eagles with his right hand and you can see him wind up and just land a Mike Tyson left hook to the ear hole of the guy and basically knocks him to the ground. Doesn't get flagged. Somehow every ref missed it. So I, I do find it a little disingenuous that the NFL is saying, oh, we're concerned about sportsmanship and stuff now. Well, it's not like they, they might have missed it, but a lot of times guys will be fined after the game. Like, they'll look at the film because teams will send in film clips and say, hey, look at what, what happened here. And, you know, you're plead your case for innocence or you're going to look at somebody being punished there. But thank you for the phone call. Yeah, you'll, you'll find that they'll be like such and such was fine, you know, $9,500 for a tackle. Yeah. Paulie, I'm looking at the video of the left tackle for the Cowboys, Tyler Guyton, and it's pretty rough. He's holding the defensive ends head up, like with one arm, and at the very end of the play, he swings like a club with his other arm. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a fine after the fact. Yeah, but I don't think it's the NFL going out. We're going to look the other way. They might have missed it. I think that can that's an honest answer, I think. But yeah, they are really concerned about sportsmanship. That that seems to be every off season, there seems to be a point of emphasis for the NFL whether it's going to be we're going to have more holding calls, pass interference. This is sportsmanship because I think they realize that it's gotten out of hand and it trickles down because the kids see it, the kids want to do it, and it seems to be the commissioner wants to make sure that that is the point of emphasis here in the off season. We'll take a break. More phone calls. Coming up on this Beat Friday, Steve Smith Sr. Former wide receiver NFL Network analyst joins us next.

Blue Wire Podcast Network announced the addition of five time Pro Bowler NFL legend Steve Smith Senior. His podcast, The89Show, co hosted by Bleacher Report and the athletic reporter James Palmer. Unfiltered football insight, great stories and a veteran's perspective. You can continue to catch Steve on NFL Network. Good to talk to you again. Now we, we booked you before the incident last night with Jalen Carter and Dak Prescott. So it's just a coincidence that I'm having you on. Oh, I know that that's. Yes, that's a coincidence. We already had this plan. This is not, this is not super random. Can I tell you something, Dan, though? Yeah. When he did that, I said, damn, I gotta talk to Dan Patrick tomorrow. So let's go back to the Super Bowl. What was that, 21 years ago? Hey. Yeah. And you're playing the Patriots, you're with Carolina and Tyrone Pool spits on you. Yeah. What brought about that? I'm not sure. You know, I'll be honest, I'm not sure what brings about any man to feel that it's okay to spit on another individual. But you know, I've been thinking long and hard about which angle you would come at this with. You know, I've been knowing you for years and you, you go, you don't beat around the bush. You go straight there, right? Point A to point B. And man, when I saw that first, if you break it down, he's a damn good football player and is about to get paid. Right? He is the difference maker. And we saw it immediately in his absence. But he got kicked out of the game before the game technically even got started. Right. So I wasn't there. So I don't really know what I would do. And I'm glad because I think it's pretty gross to spit on someone. And I'm not really sure what the contact text is. And it may he that, let's say, hypothetically, that says something super duper inappropriate. Man. In my list of reactions, which could be a short list or long list, let's say a thousand things I can respond to, One of them may be thumping someone in an Adam's apple. But spitting is not on my list of a thousand of my natural reaction when someone says something to me that I dislike. I thought Dak baited him. I keep using the word baiting because I don't, I don't see. Here's the problem. Football games are a bait game from the jump. But I don't think Dak baited him into spitting on him. Yeah, I think he did, because Dak spits in the direction of Jalen Carter. Now, that doesn't mean Jalen Carter should have done it right in front of the official, but I think Jalen Carter, you know how you get prior to a game, you're amped up. No, no, no. I, I, I don't know how I get to spit in someone's direction. No, no, you're just amped up. You're amped up. And then he thinks Dak is spitting in his direction. Now, this is a guy who's been triggered. You know, when it comes to personal foul penalties, he leads the league in that. I mean, and that's all. Yeah, that's all. That's great. But you also got to understand, too, he was in their huddle. I know, right? So that's not baiting. That's actually, I'm the leader of this huddle. You don't need to be in here. Where are his teammates, Steve? They're exactly where you saw they were. His team. His teammates. They know that they should have grabbed. They know that he can be, he can be baited. Okay, well, I mean, that's what I. Again, I wasn't there. I think it's a disgusting act. But the unfortunate part is, he's a heck of a football player. And everyone is going to start now writing articles of when he was late to Boy Scout camp, right? When, when he, you know, they're going to find all these stories now, and unfortunately, he is going to be trolled, and people are going to be saying things that's the one thing, right? Just the empathy level of just being a human being. Of how our, so all our, how our social media is today. That's all we're gonna hear. You know, he's somebody, some idiots gonna walk up to him one day and go, oh, don't spit on me. Like they're, they're gonna be saying things and I, and I, and I feel bad for him because he's a young player who's in a very success, who's on a very successful team. They're going to be well covered. And he now is going to be the butt end of people's jokes for maybe six months. But for that individual that it's about, it's going to feel like eternity. Does the NFL discipline him further? Would you again, I'm. Be honest, man. It's so nasty. I don't want to touch it, bro. Like I, I got four kids, I wiped all their butts, right? This is a, this is the blow up diaper. Like it's rock paper scissors who deals with it, right? And a blow up is like when they have pants on. Yeah. And it goes. Oh, I know. Oh yeah, down the legs. I got four kids too, look. Rock paper scissors. I don't wanna, I'm just saying I don't want to deal with it. It's disgusting. Okay, So I feel bad for the kid. He's Steve Smith, senior NFL network analyst, played 16 years in the NFL. Did you ever run into Tyrone Poole? No, I haven't run into him yet. Even if I did, I wouldn't say anything now. It's, it's done and over with. And now you know what you told me after the Super Bowl. Absolutely, I, I know exactly what I told you. And that's also a place of, you know, maturity if, if people want to believe it. Where, man, I don't have time at 46 years old to be sitting here tallying up all the people who have pissed me off. Bro. That's, that'll be, that's a long day. Come on, let's, let's run through all the guys you're mad at. You know, sometimes you've pissed me off. Dan, if we gonna start right, so good. But I mean it's, it is what it is, bro. But at the end of the day, I'm a lot of things, but spitting on people. No, sir. You, you don't have to worry about that. You told me you were Gonna set aside $50,000. Yeah, yeah. For the fine if you hit Tyrone pool. I mean, I I would sit down, I would sit aside. Every year I would set aside a certain amount of money for my fines because I knew I was gonna get them. It's called, you know, financial literacy. You know, you gotta. You know, it's three things. How you divide your money up. You gotta treat yourself, you gotta save, and then you have to invest in yourself. So, you know, the C.D. lamb first half, C.D. lamb second half. Yeah, man, that was tough for C.D. you know, I've been one of those receivers, or you. You. I've been one of those football players in the game, and you feel like nothing you can't get out of your own way, nothing you can do can make it better. It's only worse. But I give him credit. He didn't quit on his routes. His routes weren't sloppy. He was running some of these outstanding routes that he does. He just didn't finish. I would expect that we will see an improved CD Lamb moving forward, but, I mean, he's still a heck of a football player, and it just. It just sucks because if he makes those catches. Yeah, I think we're talking about this game and the Cowboys possibly win it. But how does that happen? When do drops. Does a drop lead to another drop? Does it like. It's so. It does, but it also goes to. What's your reset? How do you reset your mind? You know, what is your routine to get out of that? We all are gonna experience those. Those moments in the game where, you know, it's like, man, I just. I can't get out of my own way. I just can't. I can't get right. That happens. And I mean, I remember, you know, playing in Carolina, and we had a game one time, I'm sitting on the sideline, Marcus Colston, he dropped a few passes, and I was like, man, he's done. He's done. Because when you drop some key passes and they're still going to you and you're dropping them, that's worse. Because usually when you drop a few and they. They stop going to you, then. Now, psychologically, you could be pissed off that the coaching staff shut me down or they didn't give me my opportunities. But in this one now, he. They. They kept feeding them, they kept giving him opportunities. Unfortunately, he couldn't make the catch. So I. I personally think. My humble opinion, that it was worse for him psychologically. And I think he's going. He's going to. He's going to work on his craft so that. That doesn't happen again this year. Who's your super bowl pick. I actually don't do super bowl picks. I don't. Who will be the best team in the afc? I'm excited to see how this Baltimore Bills game goes because it goes down to the wire and these two teams and we could throw a third and fourth in there, but Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, man, their neck and neck is the guys who can really. And Joe Burrow who can challenge Patrick Mahomes. With whomever Patrick Mahomes has that receiver and tight end, he's gonna make them better. Who's the best team in the nfc I would say until they prove, until they're dethroned. I believe the. The Philadelphia Eagles, even though they stumbled into the game, some people saying offensively they struggled. Yeah, they did. And they're no different than all these other teams that are going to struggle because this is sloppy September. They haven't done anything in August. All they've done is run around in underwear and jocks and you know, training camps aren't what they used to be. That's why you're having a lot of soft tissue injuries. You're seeing guys blow hamstrings because now you're running full speed versus tempo speed in practice. You're now running against opponent who's running full speed as well and the competition, their adrenaline. And so you're just going to have a. You're going to have a sloppy September. You know, it's going to be an awkward October and then all of a sudden they get it right. November and then you'll start to see teams start to cruise and establish themselves. The Philadelphia Eagles last year started off rocky, right? There were some. They need this. But the difference I think this year that really is, is. Is is a good thing. A.J. brown didn't get going. Slim Reaper, Devonte Smith, he didn't get going right. They had some guys that were backups who are not the starters got going. Got her. Dallas got her. He hasn't got going. Saquon Barkley, even Shipley coming in as sparing them. He got going. They got the running game going. So they haven't gotten the past game tightened up completely. It's not firing on all cylinders. And look, I think that's great. If you're not following firing all cylinders week one, that's not a problem. When you have the type of players that the Philadelphia Eagles have. But when you're firing on all cylinders and you have these type of players and they're not producing, that's when it's problematic. I think we are sometimes complaining about how a team wins because we're expecting a blowout instead of appreciating the dub. Yeah, they started out 2 and 2 last year, last season. Is there a hit that you took that still hurts? That's a great question. No, I don't think so. Psychologically, is there one that you just. You. You've thought about? No, I'm. I'm. Man, I'm done. Football. I don't. I, you know, I. On my podcast in 89 with James Palmer, we talk about, you know, things that I experienced, but you know that I don't miss football at all. But is there a hardest hit you took? No. I mean, I. I have so unplugged as far as my career that there are. Sometimes I will see something. I go, oh, yeah, that did happen because I'm just so past it and looking at it as. I'm a paper pusher, man. I'm a. I'm a stat junkie that. I'm a film watcher. I don't. I don't. I'm trying not to put myself in their shoes because I'm not there anymore. That time has passed, and frankly, I. I don't want that time anymore. Good to talk to you again. You still mad at me? No, no. We were just going down a list of people. I'm not still mad at you. If I was still mad at you, I wouldn't have come on your show. I don't have a problem with you. You do a great job. It was more or less me being in my feelings and being sensitive and not necessarily wanting to deal with criticism, but, hey, we all grow. Good to see you again. Good to see you. Look good, man. Thank you. Thank you. I'm ready to go. Go for where? Wherever you want me to go. Oh, okay. Special teams. You want to go route? You know, kind of a comeback round. I'm kind of like Ricky Pro. No, you're not. Yeah, yeah, I am. Yeah, no, I know. I know. Ricky. Ricky was. Yeah. Well, we would say what we would say about Ricky, though, unlike you, Ricky was. He was raised by some black guys. End on that. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Steve Smith, senior NFL Network analyst. That's quite an appearance there. Dude's the best man.

His ex wife is married to Jeff Bezos. Seriously? Yeah. I did not know that. Yeah, yeah, he went to the wedding. Yeah. So I think he has a son with her. And she's now Jeff Bezos, his wife. That'll be Lauren Sanchez. Yes, Lauren Sanchez, former sportscaster. Of course, you would know that, right? Yeah, I do my research. Thank you, Todd. I prepare for the show. I'm sure you do. All right, who had the best week in sports? Todd, I'm going to start with you. Best week in sports. The San Francisco Giants had the best week in sports because they've won nine of the last ten. They're above 571 and 69. They won six straight, then lost one game. Currently on a four game winning streak. You're Giants, Seaton. Best week in sports. This. Florida State football. That is a massive win. You knock off Alabama. Huge upset. That is a massive win to start the season. Marvin. I got two. Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard. They're going into the Basketball hall of Fame twice as individuals and as a part of the 2008 Redeem Team. The Redeem team's going in the hall of Fame. They are. Paul. I had Mike Norvell, the head coach of Florida State, taking down Alabama. Calling off the dogs for a while. Luke in Alabama. Hi, Luke. Thanks for holding. What's on your mind? Yes, Dan. I was born in Brazil, lived there for six years, but now I live in Alabama. Roll. Todd, the significance of this game tonight in Brazil is huge because every NFL team that has won on Brazilian soil has gone on to win the Super Bowl. How many of those teams are there? The Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, that's what I thought. Thank you, Luke. What a sample size. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. Mark in Virginia. Hi, Mark. What's on your mind today? Hey, D.P. hey. When my. When my daughter was born, I thought for sure she looked like Winston Churchill. You know, just wanted to put a little cigar in her mouth, a little top hat on her. So I started calling her Winnie. That was her nickname for a long time, which kind of indirectly led to me being a founding member of the Divorced Dads Club. Congrats, Mark. Yeah. Congratulations, Mark. Yes, Todd. I know you don't like when I get dated and people may not recognize this reference, but I referred to my Daughter as Buddy Hackett for a while. If you want to look that up, I'm sure you know the. She's not good. Short, chubby cheeks and sweaty. Buddy Hackett. Yeah. Underrated comedian, Buddy. Buddy Hackett was hilarious. What's that? It's a Mad Mad Madman World. That's a. That is a great movie. Yeah. He's very funny. Yeah. Not all babies are cute. Pretty gorgeous. But you do have to say adorable. And by not all, you mean none like adorable. That's true. Paul got very annoyed at me because I called his first daughter adorable. And he was like, ah, see, that's what you say. He got very mad at me. Paulie knows that's what you say when you don't want to say anything nice. I remember that. That's the genesis of it, dude. Yeah, that's true. You're adorable. Yes. Marvin. I'm always flabbergasted by people when the baby first comes out. Oh, my God. It looks just like so and so. How can you tell? I know. They all look the same. Yeah. Got your eyes. Got your eyes. Yeah. But when they come out, I mean, let's be fair to them, you know? Been stuck inside for nine months, and you come out and you're squeezed out and you're like, yeah, you're not looking good. Not looking good. So not every baby looks great. Danny DeVito. Yes. Fitting image. Look at that thing. He looks like Danny DeVito. Yeah, I. I'm sure everybody's going to have a better weekend than me. I have to go to a funeral tomorrow. My longtime accountant, Tom Monteroso, passed away. He was jogging with his wife, had a brain aneurysm. And usually, you know, when you have these moments, we always say, man, you gotta. You gotta enjoy every day and savor every day. We shouldn't have to get to that point where it takes somebody dying for us to go. Tomorrow's not promised or any of those things, but live your life the best way you can. Be nice to somebody. Don't put it off until tomorrow. And that's what he did. He was right out of central casting. If you want an accountant who was buttoned up. Annoyingly great sense of humor, giving, sharing. Would have taken a bullet for my family, but passed away. Some of the guys who work here, the big German, you know, he's going to go to the funeral with me tomorrow. And you know what? Don't put it off to tomorrow. Seize it today. I don't care how old you are. And be nice to somebody today. Go out of your way. It doesn't cost you anything. But just be nice if you can, because you can. And you know what? You have those people in your life. And he's one of the most trusting people that I've ever met. He's the most. I trusted him more than anybody I've ever met in my life. And he welcomed the irs. If they audited me, he would greet them at the door because he could not wait to take them apart. He would have a binder, binders full of information. He was like, come on in, I'll get you some coffee. We're gonna be here a while. But just a wonderful, giving, sharing person who, who truly cared about his job and his wife Cheryl. They've become great friends and he'll be deeply missed by my family. Let's go around the room. What we learned on the program. Todd, I'm gonna ask you if you learned anything today. I did. Stephen in Michigan says spitting can transmit disease. It's akin to salt and battery feels. Jalen Carter should get another game suspension. All right. Seat. No. Connor, what did you learn today? Steve Smith senior unplugged from football. He doesn't even relate to being a player anymore. He was. That was good appearance there. He's feisty, but he played that way. He was a tough, tough player. Marvin, what'd you learn today? You said Jalen Hurts is a game master. Yes. I'm not gonna say manager anymore. They get all sensitive. Paul, would you learn today? Sal Pal always ready for go time. Yes, he is. Todd. What I learned Steve Smith used to put money aside during his NFL career because he knew he was ultimately going to get fined for something. What we learned brought you by tire rack.
