I want to tell you about my new fiction podcast. It's One Small step for man about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of space. You're a great pilot, Buzz. That's the story you think you know. This is the story you don't buds starring me, John lythgoe on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Noah and I'm 13 and I started this podcast because honestly, adults don't ask the right questions. Now you know, with Noah DeBorosso is a show about influence, who's got it, how they use it and what it means for the rest of you, it's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. Politics is wild and I'm definitely not here to tame it, but I'm here to make sense of it. Listen to now youw Know with Noah de arrasto on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour on this Wednesday. We'll talk to the Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pryor. Also, Ross Tucker will join us as well. NASCAR's on NBC. And Peacock for playoff hopefuls. The last chance awaits. The NASCAR Cup Series closes out the regular season on the banks of Daytona Saturday, 7 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, which is where you can find this program. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock 877-3-DP show, we'll get to more phone calls. Coming up, we'll talk some football with Ross Tucker as well. Seaton, what's the poll question for the final hour on this Wednesday? Well, let me update you real quick. We have an Instagram only poll question happening right now. All right, which is more on Brand, Dylan's shoes or Paul's shirt? Oh, okay. Since it's a visual thing, we went to Instagram for it Right now. More on brand. 64% have Paul's shirt. Okay. Yeah, Yeah. A lot of comments and some compliments on, on that shirt. That's very Paulie. Yes. Yes. Paulie. I think it's good to wear kind of what you like at all times as long as, you know it's not rude to other people. Okay. Going back to you when you're a kid. Yeah. I mean, I don't think that. Well, are you okay with Fritzi wearing his Bronco jersey? Yeah, because that's again on Brand for him. He's been doing it for Wire to Wire. Marvin. Actually, I have a, I have a fashion question. Is it okay to lie to people about the hat you're wearing? When somebody's at a Pittsburgh Pirates hat that I wear sometimes on the show and somebody's like, man, that Paul skins, I was like, man, if he had a little bit more help with the, with the offense, they'd be really good. I was talking to him like I was a Pirates fan, I just want to wear a shirt that says, guys, I don't like the team. I just like the hat. Yeah. It's all about fashion for You? Yes. I think it's interesting though, Paul's statement there where he said, you know, wear what you like is like the most important thing. And yet no one comments on other people's clothing more than Paul. That's true. True. I'll make fun of things, but I think you should play through the criticism. Correct. Oh. Mark Pryor, Dodger pitching coach since 2018 and back on the program. Been a while. How are you? I'm doing well. It has been a while. Thanks for having me. What is your job during a game as pitching coach? Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, basically, obviously I'm watching the game and then, you know, tracking pitches, talking with the pitcher in between innings, talking with the catcher in between innings, seeing, talking and trying to figure out, like, what's working, what's not working. You know, do we have an idea what they're trying to do from an offensive approach with our pitcher? And then maybe, you know, starting a game plan, you know, what's going on, what do we want to do the next time through? Like, who's coming up, how do we want to attack them? Do we want to, you know, do we kind of want to stay with the plan before the game? Do we want to, you know, do something different and audible change some things up? And. And so those are kind of a lot of the in game conversations with your pitcher and with the catcher. And then as the game gets going on and say, your starter starts getting towards the end and the conversations with, you know, with docs start happening, we start kind of going over like, how do we want to approach, you know, the end of the game, the end of the starters run, you know, do we need to get him out of the middle of an inning if he finishes an inning? How do we, how do we set up our bullpen going forward? Hopefully we got the lead and we've talked before the game, you know, myself, doc or bench coach or bullpen coaches, you know, who's available, who do we feel good about throwing? And so those. A lot of it's just an ongoing conversation as the game evolves and honestly, what the game is telling us, what do we need in that moment? And just making sure that we're prepared to make decisions because it happens fast. Once, once your starter's out, it happens fast. How much of your job is to be a therapist? There's a, there's a good percentage of it. Some nights it's, it's small. And then other nights I think it can, it can be a lot. And you're just trying to, you know, there's so much preparation that these guys do on a. Get diving, excuse me, on a given day, and they're always getting their bodies ready. They're always studying and making sure they're prepared. But as you know, you, you've covered sports like, you know, there's no script. Once you get. Once the game starts, things happen. And it's getting guys to find a way to win ball games and find ways to get outs. And sometimes it's ugly and, and when it's ugly, obviously guys. And as athletes, you, you want to be. We're perfectionists. You know, we want things to go the way that we envision them to go. And sometimes that doesn't happen. And, and we have to be okay with that at times. And you're just trying to get them to understand, like the job, what was your job? Did you do your job? And then let's pick up the pieces and move forward the next day. And you know, a lot of this game is, is mental and emotional. These guys are really unbelievable, elite athletes. But so much of it comes down to how can you maintain, maintain your emotions in the moment and how can you just continue to try to execute pitches to get the other hitter out? How many of your players, your pitchers, know your resume? I want to say, given that their cell phones are always at hand, I want to say there's at least they've googled me. At some point, certain key facts do. Do come up where they are surprised what will come up first, but that they would bring up to you. Usually it's. It's the infamous game in 2003 that'll maybe be on in the clubhouse and then all of a sudden they'll kind of put two and two together of, oh, you were the guy on the mound. You didn't, you know, we didn't know that. So that's always the surprise one where you kind of like, yep, that's me. That was 20 some years ago. So. But what do you remember about that? When you bring up the Bartman game, you're bringing it up. I'll bring it up. Well, you, you brought up that. They brought it up. Right, Right. Now I can follow up by saying when I say that game and you're on the mound and you see that foul ball going over, what do you think? You know, just like, darn it, I wish, I wish we caught it and Marlins had a good team, they had a good run. So I, you know, it's. It's been so long ago that any, you know, I Mean, it was obviously a game. I still feel. You really think you said darn it? No, I didn't say darn it. I used a lot of other words. But I don't, you know, I think I pointed and said some things and, you know, I mean, look, it comes up every day in the games. I mean, it came up in the Giants Padre game yesterday. You know, it still happens. And it's, it, look, it's, it's the beauty of baseball that all these things can, through the course of time of this game and how many games have been played that plays like that still happen. And that's why it's great. It's played by humans. There's, there's a lot of great things that happen. There's crazy plays that happen every night in the game. And so I think that's what, what makes people love the game because every single night you show up, things are, you know, things happen that you don't expect and then things that you think shouldn't happen because everybody's seen it happen before and you know, you shouldn't do it, it happens again. So it's, it's the beauty of the game. It's, it's what it would draws people to it. It's what people love about it. But it's also what can be maddening at time, depending on which side of the the fan base you're on. Talking to Mark Prior, Dodgers pitching coach since 2018. Dodgers at the Rockies tonight at 8:40 Eastern. Who does Ohtani remind you of, pitching wise? Well, nobody, because nobody, nobody hits as much as well as he does as a pitcher. Though I did see a stat the other day that Friggy Jenkins had, I think 13 homers as a Cub. So I guess he had some, had some good power numbers, but just his pitching style, who does, you know, it's a little bit, it's got a little bit of Nolan in him like where he's just going to, you know, and I know I'm dating myself, but I grew up watching Nolan and at the tail end of his career and, you know, like he, if he wants to just rear back and blow it by you, like he's going to do it. And I think we've seen that where obviously he has a very good and a very nasty sweeper, but if he wants it, he's going to get 100 and he's going to throw it right past you. And I think the, the bat and he had an about in Kansas City. I think it was like his second or third Outing, you know, and it's been kind of in the mid-90s and all of a sudden, you know, guy comes up and he's like, here you go, here's 300 mile an hour pitches. And so, you know, you don't. We have a lot of guys who throw extremely hard in this league. And so the velocity is not nothing or isn't, isn't as exciting and unexpected, I guess is a better way to say it that it used to be. But all of a sudden this dude just out of nowhere is 100, 100, 102. And so that reminds me of watching Nolan when I was a kid where it was just like, all right, I know he knows I'm throwing a fastball and here it is and see what you can do with it. And that's pretty cool. I mean it's, it's still as if as a coach it's one thing, but it's really, really as a fan to watch him do what he does is pretty awesome. How would you pitch to Ohtani? Well, as a pitching coach we tried unsuccessfully at times. You know, I mean, look, I was a two pitch pitcher, so, you know, it's trying to move my fastball around and throw my breaking ball and try to change the shape and you know, I try to go, you know, up and in and slow him down, down and away and you know, just trying to use all four quadrants. I mean he's, he's, when he's in a, when he's in a groove, he, there's no pitch that he can't cover. And I think that's what makes him special. You can throw at 100 miles an hour up and away and he'll go backside. Left field Homer, 20 rows deep, you can go down and in at 100. He'll pull a ball, he'll take off speed, you know, with ass out like he did the other day, completely like lost his entire body and he still hits it 105 and it gets over the fence. So you hope that you catch, if you're an opposing pitcher, you hope that you catch him when he's in, when he swings a little bit off. But right now it looks like he's starting to get his swing going again and he's doing some pretty incredible things. And, and just the way he impacts the baseball, he, that's the crazy thing is watching other big leaguers in the dugout marvel about how hard he hits the ball. And that's, that's the, the thing that is just like jaw dropping. It's not that. It's the power and the average. It's this guy's, you know, seems like he's averaging 110 off the bat every single time. And guys are like, big league guys are extremely, like, in awe, watching how hard he hits the ball, even if it's an out. It's insane. Yeah. I remarked or marveled at that a couple of years ago. If I'm just listening to guys hit. There are certain guys when you hear him hit that's different than everybody else, and he's one of those guys. Anybody else come to mind that when you. You hear that ball off the bat? You know. You know, Yeah. I mean, there's a couple years ago, Ronald Acuna hit a ball. I forget it was like, either like, 117 or 119 or something. He hit a ball at Dodger Stadium, and it just sounded like a shotgun. He. It was a homer to dead center. And he can impact the baseball extremely hard. You know, Freddie. You know. You know, Freddie can move some balls forward all over the field, but when he impacts the baseball, at times, it comes off really hot. I'm trying to think, you know, Machado, Tatis, But Judge is another guy, too, when he. When he connects. Stanton, those guys are. They impact the baseball extremely hard. And I'm sure there was guys when I played who hit the ball just as hard as they did, but it sure doesn't. You know, we didn't have the numbers to quantify it as much, but these guys, a lot of. A lot of players nowadays are really impacting the baseball. And, you know, it's scary out there. You're only 60ft away, so, I mean, it's. It's a little dangerous at times. Can you see a scenario in the postseason where Ohtani comes in in relief? It's a good question. Very fair question. And we've. It's been discussed, and it's really understanding kind of the rules of him coming in as a reliever and knowing that because of the rule, the way it's set up right now as a starter, he can come out of the game and still maintain as a dh, but he comes in as a reliever, you got to find that line where hopefully the game ends, because you can't put him in in six and then take him out as a pitcher in seventh and keep him in as a dh. So it would have to be a situation where it was probably, we think the game's over and he's closing or be okay with him not coming, not hitting anymore. So that would be really the only scenario. Can I see it? Absolutely. But it would probably be closer to the back end when the game's, you know, kind of on the line and. And it would be over after he's done. Great to catch up with you again. Thanks for joining us, Mark. Anytime. I appreciate it. Thank you. It's Mark Pryor, Dodgers pitching coach and former all Star with the Cubs. And yeah, I forgot that Mark was on the mound when the Bartman play happened. I didn't. But I was wondering if his players have googled him. And I appreciate, I appreciate his honesty that they do bring up that game. He didn't even want to say the partman game. Yeah, Paul. And if you remember that game, there was an error. I won't give out the name by a Cubs player. One play later that was much bigger. Actually, in the course of the game, that one doesn't get talked about nearly as much. And that guy was paid to catch the ball and field the ball and he didn't Bartman. Mark Pryor, though, is one of those the all time. They always post things on the Internet, guys. You wish you could have stayed healthy at 22 years old. He was 18 and 6 with like a 2.4 ERA. Finished third in the CY Young and was cruising. He was honest. You're looking at Kerry Wood and Mark Pryor and you're thinking, you're set. We got two hammers here. And it just didn't last long enough. All right, we'll take a break.

What's on your mind today? Hey, Mike. Hey, Dan. How you doing, Mike? Yeah, hey, Dan. Yeah, I think I'm in a bad spot here. I better call you back. Thanks. Sorry. All right, Mike, sorry to interrupt your day. Let's bring in Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Tooker Football Podcast. And he called the Browns Eagles game last Saturday. He's got the Eagles at the jets on Friday night. Hi, Ross. How are you, Dan? I'm fantastic. I think I have better reception than that guy. I think I'm ready to go. Most interesting team in the NFL is who. Who. There's a bunch of different ways I could go with that one. You know, I think I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with the team I just saw on Saturday, the Cleveland Browns. I'm fascinated by them. I said this today on the Ross Tucker football podcast, Dan. I think there's a real possibility, probably unlikely, but there's a possibility that they become the first team in NFL history to have four different quarterbacks start at least four games. Now hear me out on this, okay? First of all, when they made the trade with the Jaguars, the Travis Hunter trade to move down, pick up next year's first round pick, that's a loud signal to everybody that we're looking at this over the next few years. We're not all in to try to win this year, etc. So we, we all get that. I understand why they're starting Flacco at the start of the year. They have a tough schedule. They can sell the vets that we went to the playoffs a couple years ago with him. He gives us the best chance to win. But they traded for Kenny Pickett for a reason. And I think deep down Stefanski thinks that maybe Kenny Pickett could be his Sam Darnold, his Baker Mayfield. I mean, neither one of those guys started to really click until they were on their fourth team. This is Kenny's third team. And I think in Stefanski's offense, I believe he thinks he can get Kenny Pickett to play at a pretty high level. I'm not sure I really believe that Kenny can do that. But then they also drafted a couple rookies and that's been well documented. Dylan Gabriel in the third round. They obviously like Shador Sanders, only played one preseason game in the fifth round, but he played well. People want to see what he has. So I think there's a reasonable scenario where Flacco starts the first. Let's call it three or four. They're 0313. Whatever. They put Pickett in to see how he looks, take him for a spin, and then they want to try to find out about both Gabriel and Shadora Sanders. Maybe they hit on one of those guys. Maybe one of them looks like a very good, inexpensive backup. But they kind of need to find out about both those guys before next year's first round where they have two first round picks. They might both be in the top 10. They're highly likely if they didn't hit on any of these guys to get a franchise quarterback or try to in the top 10 next year. So the Browns might set a very interesting record in terms of the number of quarterbacks to start multiple games in a season. I always look or like to look at coaching staffs to see what decisions they make with their quarterbacks. Like the Giants with Brian Dabel Jackson. Dart to me makes more sense. I don't think they're going to be that good of a team. But these, you know, this coach wants to keep his job in a with a very difficult schedule. The Colts situation, Shane Steichen wants to keep his job. The Brown situation, that coach wants to keep his job as well. And as a result, you got Russell Wilson, Daniel Jones, and then you're going to have Joe Flacco. I don't think it's a surprise that they're going with somebody who's a little more proven and they can't really roll the dice on somebody younger. What do you think? Well, and here's what's interesting. I tend to think, by the way, that the Browns will probably give Stefanski and the GM Andrew Berry another year. Otherwise, why would those guys have made that trade that they made? Unless, Dan, they think that making that trade helps them get another year, right? Like the bit. Maybe, maybe it's the. A chicken and the egg thing. The Colts thing to me is like the perfect example, okay, of the dichotomy between fans, media, and to some extent even some scouts and front office executives versus coaches. I have seen this as long as I've been around the NFL, right? Fans, media, some front office executives, they love upside. They love physical traits. They love potential. They love guys like Anthony Richardson, right? Meanwhile, coaches, you know what they love? They love guys that they can trust, that are able to execute the concepts that they're given and that the plays that are called guys that obviously are consistent. That's what coaches value. You know how I know this, Dan? Multiple times in my career I was told by an assistant coach, hey, the front office hates you like, or this guy hates you. But the coach is always like, I was never the high upside guy. I was never the traits guy. I was never someone that you get excited. Oh, yes, we have Ross Tucker and his short arms and average athleticism starting like nobody ever felt that way. But the coaches, they knew I wasn't going to be the reason why we lost. I was going to do the right thing every time they could trust me. I was going to play as hard as I possibly can. I was consistent. And ultimately, coaches have to win. It's year three for Shane Steichen. He needs to win this year. If he thought that Anthony Richardson would help them win more games this year, I can assure you he would be starting. He doesn't now. Remember this too, Dan. People lose sight of this. You know, when the announcements made yesterday, I called that Colts Titans game for CBS last year, late in the season, it had been a week or two earlier that several of the veterans had sat down with Anthony Richardson to go over with him what the standard should be and what their expectations are. This is more than halfway through his second year. DeForest Buckner and Quinton Nelson, those guys, this is out there, it's public. They had to sit down, say, like, listen, in walkthroughs, you need to be like this. You know, after practice, you need to do stuff like this. You know, unfortunately, he's a really gifted, talented, but young, immature kid who has gotten hurt a bunch. Doesn't really understand what it means to be professional. I don't know if he knows that now or not, but Shane Steichen not waiting around to find out, right? Like Shane second's like, you know what? Daniel Jones, he can win. I saw with the Giants in my system, he'll win. He'll do what I ask of him. He's a pro. I'm attaching my life, my family's livelihood, my kids, where I'm going to live next year. I'm going to put more faith and trust in Daniel Jones that he'll give me a better chance to stay living in Indianapolis, Indiana next year than Richardson. Talking to Ross Tucker, the Ross Tucker football podcast. And he had Brown's Eagles last Saturday. He's got the Eagles at the jets coming up on Friday night. Would you rather have the career of Joe Flacco or Philip Rivers? Joe Flacco, yeah. Now listen, Philip Rivers, I think, is a better player. I think Philip Rivers has a better chance, maybe a really good chance to be a Hall of Famer. But in my. First of all, Philip Rivers never got to play in a Super bowl, right? So forget even winning it. You. You either have experience playing in the super bowl or you haven't. I haven't. I've talked to guys that have. It's like a line of demarcation as NFL player. You either play in the super bowl or you didn't. And then Flacco, first of all, Flacco made a ton of Money. They probably made around the same money. And Flacco is still going, by the way. But Flacco won a Super Bowl. And no matter how good an individual career is, there is nothing like winning a championship. I can speak to this, Dan. I am so glad I got a chance to play college football and very thankful for seven years in the NFL. In 18 years of football, I won one championship. It was my junior year of high school. It was 30 years ago, okay? It was 1995. I can tell you about every one of those games. I can tell you about those guys when I go back to my hometown, okay? And I go to Third and Spruce, or I go to any of these bars and I see these guys, right? I am not friends with these guys. I don't text them. I don't even have their numbers. But when I see them, we give each other a hug and we reminisce about what it was like to win the Berks IC championship in 95, what it was like to beat Governor Mifflin. There is nothing, an individual accomplishment, in my experience, can never even come close to the shared joy and the shared experience of a team accomplishment. Give me the team accomplishment and winning the super bowl and the bond that you have with those guys forever over anything individual. Joe Flacco or Dan Marino's careers. Okay, Are we talking careers? Are we talking lifestyle? Because I've thought about this, and being Dan Marino in Miami in the 80s had to be really, really fun. It might still be. I mean. I mean, Dan, I've said this, okay? This is a great topic for the rest of the show. I'll program the next 30 minutes. Paulie's not doing his job anyway. Okay? If you could be any athlete in any era at any time for everything that went along with it, okay? I'm just sitting here thinking, Dan MARINO in the 80s in Miami, like, Miami Vice, like, stuff off the field. I. I mean, Dan Marino had a top five life of any athlete. I. I can even fathom for what that must have been like for him. So Joe Flacco, I mean, great Baltimore. I would rather have probably Joe Flacco's career, but I'd rather. I'd rather live Dan Marino's life. Safe travels. Great to talk to you, as always. Thanks for joining us. All right, see you guys. That's Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He never fails. He's got the Eagles at the jets coming up on Friday night. A couple of phone calls in here. Ben in Washington. Hi, Ben. Thanks for holding. What's on your mind today. Hey, good morning, Dan. Really appreciate you taking the call. I'm a huge fan of all your movies. And I have a quick question for you and then a comment. The question is related to when you're on set. My favorite movies are my favorite performances. You know, it's probably happy Gilmore is no. 2 is your second best performance. I still think my favorite is just go with it. Your line of Big country is just comedy gold. But I'm wondering from your perspective, do you have a favorite movie not necessarily because of your role, but because of something that happened while you were on set or in the background or just a background story for your audience? And then my second. Oh, go ahead. No, go ahead, Ben. Oh, I was just gonna say my second comment is I think that we're all playing checkers in Chris and Syracuse chess world. I noticed yesterday when he called in and gave a very heartfelt message to Todd. The audience quickly responded with multiple calls, you know, basically telling Todd to suck it. And, you know, I'm wondering if Chris did that on purpose, because I think it's brilliant. And so he's too nice of a guy, Ben. He's Kristen Syracuse. There's nothing nefarious about him. But thank you, Ben. Just go with it. That set, it was in Hawaii, and you have Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on stage with you in very revealing outfits. Dave Matthews was in the audience. Sandman's there. That you can't beat that. That was a whole lot of fun. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hey, David. That work has the best. Who has the best wardrobe on the. When it comes to the Danish, I want to dig a little bit deep into the archives. A while ago, you were wearing those purple, like, Barney pants, and I saw what Paulie was wearing, so I wanted to maybe get your opinion on that. Best wardrobe for the day. Thank you. Oh, it's Marvin. Marvin gives it a whole lot of thought. I. I would. I would rank it this way, Marvin, because it's about his shoes and about his hat. Fashion starts from the bottom up. Then it would be Paul Fritzi gives thought to it a lot of times. It could be guest related. He has a Dodger jersey on, but he will wear something that will be kind of in conjunction with a guest. Seaton and I probably battle it out for not really caring, as Seaton said to me one time. It looks like you've given up, Dan with the outfit wardrobe that I had on. And. And he was right. I had kind of just given up. You know, I lead with my voice, obviously, and my hair, and that's all I need. Yes. Yeah. Really. As long as. As, like, waist up looks good, then basically all set. Yeah. I mean that when I said. When I said that, it looked like you'd given up. You were wearing really baggy Adidas, like, I don't know, like joggers, I guess. Sweatpants. Sweatpants stained with paint. Yeah, they had paint on and then some kind of flannel shirt or something like that. It had a real Mr. Mom vibe to it. Like, this dude hasn't taken a shower in four days. Now, that being said, I'm somebody who can wear the exact same clothes for, like, five days straight and not even blink. So, you know, I did wear the same pants five consecutive days just to see if Paulie realized that I had the same. But he's always focused on Fritzi, therefore, he didn't notice that I had the same pair of pants. But, you know, you kind of wake up and you go, all right, I'll get there. We are on tv, but this is really a show that's geared to radio, and if you want to wear whatever you want to wear, I'm fine with that. Yes, Paulie. And pants, I think you can repeat them a couple times a week. You don't throw them in the wash every time. Like socks and underwear. And I really don't have any rules except for I've asked Fritzi to wear boxers or underwear. And, yeah, I can't make any promises with that. I know. David in Bakersfield. Hi, David. What's on your mind? Hi. Longtime listener, second time caller. Great interviews with Ross Tucker. I think Paul is going to take the poll question. I. I gotta go with his. His shirt. He kind of reminds me of Jeff Bridges as the dude. Okay. Oh, all right. All right. So we've had Tony Soprano. I liken it to maybe Urkel. They look like suspenders, but they're not. And obviously you didn't get dressed up for the audience. You got dressed up for something like, you have a job interview coming up. Is that what's going on? Something's going on later? Don't know. Multiple meetings are happening. All right, well, say hello to big Cat. Pft. That was two weeks ago. Yes. I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Clueless, but Cher had a friend named Christian. Paul is kind of dressed like Christian. Did he have a hat, though? Yeah. Didn't Christian have a hat? And he drove a. A Metropolitan. Yeah. That old little car. Yes, he did. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Stacy Dash looked great in that movie. Yeah. She had a run. Yes, she did. They left turn there. Yeah, I know. Whoops. Sorry. Okay, take a break. Last call for phone calls.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control and they're saying like okay, pull this until this, pull that, turn this. It's just I do my eyes closed. I'm Manny, I'm Noah, this is Devin and On our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going through something like that is a traumatic experience. But it's also not the end of your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trittate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet Space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the unwanted sorority.

What we learn what's in store tomorrow, this day in sports history. We'll try to accomplish all of that. Coming up, Jay in Delaware. Hi, Jay. What do you have for me today? Hey, Dan, Real quick topic that popped up while I was on hold was the most interesting team. And I think it's. Honestly, I think it's the Giants with that front seven. I think they might be the best chance to stop that Eagles rushing attack, their run game, and that Russell Wilson moon ball to Malik Neighbors I think might be a thing this year. And secondly, being an east coast Lakers fan, the only chance I ever got to see the Lakers was going to a Washington Wizards game. So I was pretty excited when they drafted John Wall, and I was like, all right, these guys might be good if they can build around. John Wall never came to fruition. And thirdly, I think Paul's shirt looks like something the Sandman would throw on with some basketball shorts. Go play a pickup game and then have a production dinner afterwards. Thank you, Jay. Now, Sandman would wear a Hawaiian shirt. He wouldn't wear something as nice as that. Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind? Hey, dp, thanks for taking my call. I know you've used a lot of your influence to get people in the hall of Fame and this and that. Can you just tell me if Terry McLaurin will be there for week one of the season? I have no idea. No idea. I hope, because I like him, I hope he gets paid. I like the story with the commanders, but ownership draws a line, and then sometimes you'll see a player who caves in, comes back. We saw that in Buffalo. We've seen that in Pittsburgh. I don't know if that's going to happen with Terry McLaren. See in Glendora. I see what's on your mind today. Hey, what's up, dp? Thanks for taking my call, man. Just want to really quick say great interviews. You are the best, my friends. Loving your interviews, Paulie. That sure, Pops. That's all I'm gonna say. Okay. Great interviews. Thanks. Thanks for. For booking the. For booking all the guests, Fritzi. I know you're great at your job, but then, a, you got an all star team there, and I love. I love listening all you guys, man. You guys all make my Day, man, I really appreciate it. And one last thing you ever think about doing, I know after you, you retire and leave, leave the, the anal, what you're doing now, but do you ever think about doing something like David Letterman is doing, like, you know, just making certain interviews because you're so great at it? Well, I appreciate that, but no, I don't, I don't want to travel, I don't want to do that. That I did that early in my career and I promised my wife, my family that I wouldn't do that. And it's fun. I really enjoy interviewing, the whole process of it. I think a lot of people think you just sit down with a bunch of questions and you ask. And there is more of a, I don't want to say scientific approach, but there is an approach to what you're going to ask, when you're going to ask it. And there are a couple of good interviewers out there that I admire. And I think to be a really good interviewer, you have to really be interested in what that person has to say. It can't be about you and your question, it's about what their answers are. You have to really, really be curious. Somebody that I haven't mentioned, but I've met him before. Graham Benzinger does a really good job. He has an interview show where he'll spend an entire show on one guest. And to make that interesting is hard to do. But asking questions that are open ended and about you and listening, that's really the key and that's what we teach at my broadcasting school. If you think the qu. The interview is about your question, it's not going to be a good interview. It has to be about their answer because their answer will lead to your next question. But thank you, thank you for the compliment. Rob in Orlando. Hi, Rob. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call as always. I was talking to Tyler, therefore I got on here and asked him if y' all were going to be in Pittsburgh next year for the draft. It sounded like it's a potential thing. So that leads me to, to this. I will take the Steelers to make it to the AFC championship game. I'll take on all comers of the Danettes. I will be there for the draft. I've already got my hotel booked up and you can pot of the face, permanent face, whatever you want, at your time, at your discretion. Take it from there. Anybody want a piece of Robin Orlando? He's got oh, Marvin hand up quickly. That means they got to win More than one playoff game. Todd. Todd raised it. All right, Rob. So he's saying the steals will make it to the AFC championship game this season. Yeah, I'm totally in on that. Yes. All right, so Todd. Todd's in and Marvin's in. Seaton, hand up. So I just want to make sure that I heard it correctly. If I'm in on the bet, that means I think the Steelers won't make the AFC championship game. Yes, I'm in on that. Yes. All right, so that's. That's three danets there, Rob. So we'll see you. We'll see you at the draft in Pittsburgh. You got it, guys. See you there. Okay, that's Robin. Orlando. I look forward to that. Pittsburgh will turn out for that. Greg in Detroit. Hi, Greg. What's on your mind today? Hey, D.P. how are you? Great. Now, last year so I called up and give you guys a T shirt idea for that Brock to the future. And last week I heard this story about that misspelling of Michael Penix, his name. And I thought, if Penix lights it up, you guys are going to have to come up with a T shirt. Panics. Envy. Yeah, we've brought that up. I think going back to Indiana, we brought up that possibility. But we don't think in childish ways around here. Never. Very mature, Very grown up, Paulie. This day in sports history, I'll give you two. 1920, representatives of four pro football clubs met in Canton, Ohio, for what became the National Football League. What was the original name of the National Football League? Anyone take a shot? The American Professional football league. The APFA. And they changed the National Football League. That's correct. 1939, the National Bowling association formed in Detroit. A bowling hotbed. 1939. I like that. Where was Kingpin? That was in Pennsylvania, mostly. Pennsylvania. Amish country. Yes, yes. Because whatchamacallit. Quaid. Randy Quaid was Amish. And is that where they picked him up in Pennsylvania? That's a good character. Woody Harrelson's awesome in that. Woody Harrelson's great. Bill Murray, he was great. Let's go around the room. What we learned on the program. Todd, what'd you learn today? Now retired all star John Wall went from being a very good player to being paid 42 million by the Rockets to not play at all. Seaton, what'd you learn? That damn Cubs game comes up every day for Mark Pryor. I know, Marvin. Mark Pryor did not see. Darn it. Yeah. When the Bartman play happened, Paul Ross Tucker Champion junior year in high school. Todd what did I learn? Kurt Warner not in the hall of Fame because of the super bowl win with the Rams. It's because he led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl. Have a great day everybody. We look forward to tomorrow. This is Danielle Fishel from Pod Meets World. Parents, quick question. When is the last time you won Snack Time?
