Terms apply. CAP applies. Learn more@americanexpress.com withamx you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. I'm watching the highlights of Ohtani's home run last night. Then he hit another one. Oh, look, here's your daughter on TV cheering. Oh, she's holding a sign. I hate my dad. There she is holding another sign. My dad stinks. And so did the Mets. So do the Mets. Wow. Hey, it's Cavino and Rich in for the great Dan Patrick, Day two of the Dan Patrick Hatrick, which means we'll be here tomorrow and we'll be here next Tuesday. So lucky you. Well, you know why we're going to be here next Tuesday. And by the way, we're live from the Mercedes Benz studios. DP does it right. Um, next week, Dan's on Monday. We're going to be filling it on Tuesday because they're headed to the NFL draft as a show. They'll be doing the show NFL draft style Wednesday and Thursday, I believe. So with that said, we're going to talk about some NFL quarterback moves and some speculation and some rumors coming up in a few minutes. Plus, what type of vacation person are you? A lot of. A lot of fun and randomness. But here's where we start today. We My daughter goes to the Dodgers game last night with her little girlfriends, her little gal pals. My daughter's seven. And one of the moms is like, we're taking the girls because it's hello Kitty night. And I was like, yeah, you can bring my daughter. Thank you for the invite. My daughter comes home last night with a hello Kitty Dodgers stuffy, a Dodgers hat and a little helmet. And she's like, dad, I think I like the Dodgers, but I mean, I'll root for the Mets if they play each other. And I'm like, oh, she's just saying that because she doesn't want to Crush me. There's a lot going on here, man, because first and first, mostly, as we say here on the show, look at the smile on her face. Most importantly is the fun that she had. Okay? So let's be real about it. Let's go, Dodgers. Man, they're just rubbing it into Dad's face. Dad's a lifelong Mets guy. And again, these are your roots, and you got to be proud of them. We're out here alone in Los Angeles, but we live in a New York kid. We live in la. We live in la. Whoopity do. So here's the thing. My daughter has never been to Citi Field. And this summer when we go visit New York family, I'm gonna take her for the first time. We live in la. Am I doing her a disservice by being like, no, we're Mets fans. There's so many ways to look at it. I'm the dad of teenage daughter. She doesn't give a diddly squat about baseball. Meanwhile, her dad's, like, obsessed with baseball and the Yankees. Right. So you do your best to influence your kids. However I bond over music and other things with my daughter. Right. I think you have a duty as a parent, not just as a dad, as a parent, to say the right things and to do your part. But then they're going to make their own choices anyway. And you learn that as time goes on and about everything, like political views, ways of life, any sort of thing that you think you feel. It's your job. It could be as simple as, hey, they know to stay safe and put on their seatbelt. But it's your job as your dad, as a dad or as a parent, to remind them, hey, put your seatbelt on. I know that. I know, but I'm just doing my job. Yeah, it's kind of your job to be like, remember, we root for the Mets. If they make their own decisions and she becomes a Dodgers fan, you know, that's. That's fine. They're gonna make their own decisions, but you still have to do your part. That's my point. But you also have to argue. You can't be so willy nilly and free about. Yeah, I guess she's. No, we're Dodgers fans. And you'd say with a smile, because you're not gonna force her to think what you think. But you gotta remind her, like, we're Dodgers fans. No, we're Mets fans. I mean, we're Mets fans. See, now you're. You're confusing me. Are we Dodgers fans? No, we're not. So your calls, your feedback phones are all lit, every single line. So let's handle it when your kid chooses a different team. Let's go rapid fire. Or as we like to say, throw it back to the 90s crossfire. We get caught up in the. You know. You never had that toy, huh? I never had it, but I'm very well aware of it. That means you got to be snappy. Let's go through all the phone calls. 7799 on Fox, Pennsylvania. Mio, what's going on? Hey, thank you. First time, long time. I love the Cowboys. I grew up a Cowboys fan. I basically hate everything Philadelphia sports. Oh, yeah. My son has been influenced by his cousins and his cousin's family and now came up to me and says, dad, I love the Eagles. Come on, kid. You know I love and hate that story all at once. Poor Miho. Yeah, but you also have to teach again. Try again. Your part, right? You can't control your kid, and you want them to be free thinkers and be proud of their choices, but you have to teach them, or at least try to teach and preach to them that, no, we don't fall into peer pressure, you know, have a backbone. This is who we are, and that's just what we do. You got to just do your part. Like you said, it's heartbreaking. Like you said, there's times in life where you, you do lose control of your kids. And the example we gave was, how many times does a kid come back from college and all of a sudden they're like a liberal hippie and their parents like, what happened to you? All the time. I'm sure our parents felt the same way about us. Dave in Colorado. What's up, Dave? Hey, Dave. What's up, guys? Thanks for taking the call. No problem. Thank you. Yo, man, I got a. I guess a quick admission. I grew up in Detroit, so we attended all, like, old school Pistons games and Tigers games. When you could find tickets on the ground, walk right in. So by default, I was kind of a Detroit sports fan. But I've been in Colorado 20, I don't know, over 20 years now, and my rear end kicked in at an Avalanche game wearing some, some Red Wings gear when I'm just more of a hockey and a sports fan. So I don't know. I agree with you guys about your concepts of snowplow parenting. You want to have your kids go through that adversity, but, man, I don't know if I want to feel the nuts shush from wearing like, A out of town jersey, you know? Yeah. You know what the one sport I guess I would say I'm most passionate about as far as that's, that's my old school team is, is baseball. I'm a, I'm a kid from Long Island. I love the Mets. Right. So can't they give dad that? Give me the Mets. And you know what I'm saying, like if they want to root for the Lakers or. Hey, fine. I was going to say even myself, I was never a big Knicks fan. I can't call myself a Lakers fan, but I've been out here over a decade. I like Lakers, kings. I'm a big hockey basketball guy. My die hard alliances are NFL and Major league baseball. So not all traditions have to die rich. Yeah. You know, like she carries your last name because you're her dad. Yeah. You know what? I'll give you this one. And she carries the Mets, losing tradition because you're her dad. How do you feel about this? Danny G? You and I and Covino, we've all come up in the radio ranks and you know, we all have these friends that have moved around the country for radio or TV gigs. Like, hey, our friend Nico, he's the new morning guy in Phoenix. Or hey, you know, remember Dana who used to work on the show? She's the new news anchor at Philadelphia. How do you feel about when media personalities adopt the city they live in for a long time? These are not real sports. Like, our buddy Nico is from Detroit. He's very fickle, but he's the morning guy in Phoenix. Now there's a way to handle that respectfully. I mean, go Cardinals, you know, do your job and show some cardinal pride. But you got to represent. It would be really hard to just boldface lie to your new listeners, especially with the ink I have on my body, you know, how would I suddenly be a fan of their team? Yeah, you're, you're, you're an extreme example. But I see my buddy Nico, who I know grew up in Detroit, lived in New York for like 20 years, he's a big time morning guy in Phoenix. And I see him like on social media like, yo, yo, Sons, you know, sons fired their coach. You know, go Sons. I'm like sons. Okay, if he really meant that, he's just a people pleaser. And I know he's not. He's our pal. So I think he's just doing his job and he's doing the right thing in that moment. But you could be, you could be a heel and just as popular. It's true. I mean, even our former president. Didn't Obama wear like a White Sox jersey or hat or something at Wrigley? Didn't he? When he brought his White Sox out, He never, like, denied his fandom, but he did it respectfully. Like, there's ways to do it. You don't need to be such a bandwagon person. I mean, Giuliani before the hair dye dripping down his face, when he, when, when the world loved him before, you know, things were weird because it just. Who you are and where you're from, it's not that serious. And I respected that. He was very diehard. Yankees. All right, John of Florida Rapid fire. What's up, John A. Fellas, what's good? Good morning. Like the new time slot. Listen, you know me, I'm a big New England Boston fan of all the sports, and I got three boys, so I forced the Celtics and the. In the Pats on them. Hockey and baseball, I let them figure it out. But the Celtics and Pats, big time. You know, I think that's the rule. I think we've come to some weird, hybrid conclusion that if your kids are growing up in a different city than you are, you could pick. You could be like, hey, kids, I get it. We. We live in Dallas now. I grew up here. But there's one team. This our family is. And we're Mets. You know, like, maybe I tell my kids, hey, we're Mets fans. Football, basketball, hockey, do your thing. Make a. Make your decision, kids. Yeah, but Dad's holding strong. Yeah, we are. That we are met again. Because that's your part. They're going to make their own minds up anyway, unfortunately. So, yeah, I think that's it. I want them to think about me when I'm an old guy. You know, when I'm in my 90s and up and I croak and the Mets finally win a World Series. The year after I die, I want them to think of me. Ron in South Dakota. What's up, Ron? Hey, this Ron. My situation is very easy. I was born and raised in Chicago. My son was born in Chicago, but we left there for the Twin Cities before he was 2 years old. Yet he's a Cubs fan due to me, but I give him the right to be a Twins fan also, since he's in the Twin Cities. And it's easy because Cubs is National League, Twins is the American League. Now, if there wasn't the same league, same division or anything, we might have to go to court and get some papers. To solve something on this, you know? But. But with the girl, it's different, too. Yeah. You know what's. What's interesting? Let me add one more rub coming on, then we'll take the last couple. I see my son playing T ball. I coach his team, and when they get up to bat, I'll. I'll say things to them like, all right, come on, yo, get the. You know, get those hands back, you know, drive through the ball just like. And I think in my head, I have to use Dodgers, but come on. Who you Mookie Bets? Are you Freddie Freeman? Yo. All right, you're Ohtani. Let's see that stroke. You're not saying polar Bear Pete. I'm not saying polar bear Pete because all the little boys. Polar bear Pete. Yeah. Who's Soto? My. My son and his little friends on his T ball team. Other than you're not telling them. Come on. Just like Timmy Tuffle used to do. Come on. Just like Lenny Dykstra. Use those hips. Use those hips. Just like the Tuffle Shuffle. You should show him Darrell Strawberry swing, man. Doesn't get better than that. But, you know, at some point, I don't want my kid to feel like the weirdo when everyone else is like, go, Dodgers. And he's like, yeah, guys. But I like the mess. It was that campaign we grew up with. Dare to be different. All right. There to be. It's not that big of a deal if he's a Mets fan, you know, and you could say, hey, it's not that big of a deal. On the flip side, I get it, because it is. It's fun. It's sports. But it's okay that he's the one kid that roots for the Dodgers or the Mets. See, now you got me confused.

Now we will give away some prizes as well. Just stick around for that playing trivia later on. But we got to talk a little NFL football. Oh, yeah, the big draft. Not the. Not the one last night. Congrats by the way to Paige Beckers, your number one pick. She playing for the Dallas. What do you know the WNBA team in Dallas. The Wings. There you go. I was like, dallas, Danny G. Loves wings. Oh, it's not like wings. Like. It's not like chicken wings. Cody Bellinger, not so much. Yeah, exactly. Honey barbecue is the best. Ooh, what's your favorite way? Lemon pepper? You like the Asian Zing Kavina? I do. I absolutely do. Why? Who doesn't? So, yeah, let's talk about it. Congrats, Paige Beckers. But that's not the draft. We're talking about next Thursday, the NFL draft. A big night. What used to be a bunch of old white dudes in a conference room with tan and brown phones. Who you picking? I'm not telling you. You ever see the. From. What is it, Marine? Why am I drawing a blank? I'm losing my mind. From Marino to Elway. No, from Elway to Marino. That 30 for 30 about that draft, the one where John Elway is like, yo, Colts, if you pick me, I'm going to go play for the Yankees. That draft and that documentary, that 30 for 30 remind you that if you grew up in the 80s, in our lifetime, it was a bunch of guys smoking cigarettes in a conference room with 1980s wooden walls. Yeah. It wasn't this big spectacle that we know today. It wasn't 100,000 people on the streets of a city celebrating their team's pick. An ocean of people in Detroit. That's my visual now with all these special graphics and everything. No, not at all. Is that fair to say? Danny G and Sam, you know, we're all around the same age. Sam's younger. But in our lifetime, what's evolved the most might be the draft or. Or WWE events. You know what? Think of like a WrestleMania or just think of how old school and in late 70s 80s wrestling scene until Hulkamania was running wild. And Macho man and Andre the Giant before that, it was a bunch of just guys who would grapple. No theme music, no fireworks. So you're right. Wwe, it'd be like some hairy guy with a singlet, you know, Georgie Animal Steel eating a turnbuckle. And Bruno San Martino barely speaking English in some local city now. God, look how. Look how massive this event is. So, yeah, look at a wrestling event from 1980. Something compared to now. The only thing that might be scaled up more is the NFL draft. It really is. And by the way, you mentioned something that's so understated, the fact that Elway took a Stand and was penciled in into the Yankees lineup. Already playing right field in the same lineup with Don Mattingly, if he didn't get drafted. I think a lot of people forget about that. And it is brought up in that documentary. Imagine John Elway as a baseball player, as a Yankee. So weird. Or Tom Brady on the Expos. But anyway, my point is, the NFL draft has come maybe the longest way other than WWE wrestling. I can't think of something that has evolved so much in our lifetime. Maybe ufc, where it went from one of your buddies might be like, yo, do you like extreme fighting? And now ufc. Early UFC was, you know, one of the Gracie brothers. Yeah. Now fighting a sumo dude. Now the President's coming down the aisle, right? Yeah. I mean, it's evolution, baby. So I would say WWE wrestling, UFC and the NFL draft, what has evolved the most in our lifetime? And hey, next week, Green Bay going to be hosting, you know, a spectacle. Every team has special guests come in to make their picks. Yeah, it's an event. Now. It wasn't, you know, as much of an event back then. Roger Goodell going to be booed. But then everyone's going to do their best. Bro hug, hold up their jersey. Now, here's the big question. What's going to happen between now and next Thursday? Because I want to play detective. Remember when your dad would watch Columbo? My dad would watch Columbo. Hey, one more thing. Peter Falk with his lazy eye and a cigar. I used to love that. I used to love that show. I've known you for 20 years. Never heard you talk about Colombo once. You don't know my love of Peter Falk. Not once. In fact, I've known him longer than that. We met each other in our. I've heard you talk about Kojak more than I've heard you talk about Columba. We've known each other since our early 20s. I've known you 20 years. How do you not know of my love of Peter Falk? You're more of a Frank Drebin kind of guy. His narration of Princess Bride is fantastic. Never. First time ever. He had to have googled right before we got into this discussion. I guarantee you he googled who was Columbo. This is totally made up. I remember, dude, there was an episode. Every Rich Davis reference, under the moon. First time I've ever heard him bring it up. I remember there was an episode who killed Mrs. Columbo? And he. And he faked his wife's death. Please, I'm a Columbo superfan. I'll take your word for it. I'm playing Columbo right now. Sure. And we're going to try to figure out what's happening between now and next Thursday. And we start. I won't do a Peter Falk the whole time, I promise. Well, start with Shadow Sanders between now and next Thursday. They announced yesterday that this is like that book that LeBron read. Allegedly, LeBron only reads page one of books, right? Is that the thing? I don't think Rich has ever seen Colombo. So between now and next Thursday should door Sanders. Yesterday they announced that he's doing a private workout with the Giants. Now you got to ask yourself why? Because that was the rumor from the beginning. And where there's smoke, there's fire. Look, one thing I, I can't say I hate, but aggravates me about sports talk radio or just people in general are the I told you so people. I told you. I'm the one that told you. I've been telling you for months. I've been telling you for months, Forever. Go back to the T. I was telling. I'm the one. I invented it. I said it. But I hate those people. I said it here on the show. There was so many rumors. And look, look, on TV right now, they're talking about it. Stewart, Sanders, the Giants. There was a lot of substance there. And people like, well, how do you know? Like, well, where there's smoke, there's fire. There's a lot of interest. There's no secret there. And I said, I know personally of someone in the camp that's telling me it's on. Like John Papel Bond eating flan with Bishop Don Magic Wan with Michelle Kwan. With Michelle Kwan watching the Wrath of Khan. So you don't know anybody. Lakers in five. Who told you? You're Barber. And that's what Rich said. And I'm like, look, I know, but I got scoops. Who do you know? The guy at the salad shop down the block who's talking to you? Scoops Callahan, the guy at 24 Hour Fitness. Now, I'm never the guy to say I know for fun fact. And I'm like, dude, I know because it was already a rumor. But I'm like, no, look, I know that they're still interested. They're still interested even though they got Russell Wilson. Now they're still interested and they're still in the market for Sanders. And I, you know, listen, because that's when the, the conversation changed. Well, man, they got Russell Wilson. I guess they're out on the market for that. I'm like, no, no, no, hang tight. I think they're still in Kavina. Just proves that I was right. And again, where there's smoke, there's fire. Yeah. Kavino has very few sources. Very few. I'm a fan. Man's a fan. We're fans. We're not like Colin Cowherd who's talking to GMs in his spare time. But Cavino, I'll back him up. I can't say who it is, but Kavino knows someone that would actually have like an odd insight. Yes. And on the meetings and, and, and confirmed. And confirmed that. Yeah, no, no, it's still on. There's no guarantees, but it's still on. So I said to you the FOX Sports Radio Nation. Look, I know it's not official or anything, but it's still on. It's not over. They're still, they're not out of the Shador Sanders market yet. So when we talk about the NFL draft next Thursday, let's, let's play a fun round of Colombo of detective. How about Sherlock Holmes? That's too old school. Colombo's too old school. You play Stabler. What are you going to do some law and order, play detective and go back to Magnum PI and you're right, we do need a new detective reference. Even Columbo is way dated. Almost like a 70s, 80s. Yeah. You know, give me someone current. It's like when someone references a good looking person. Like, all right, Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt's like 60. I mean, he's still good looking. I mean, he's still handsome, but he's still more ripped than most. That's true. So what's going to happen between now and next Thursday? You tell me what you think. Because here's what I think is going to go down. I think somehow, some way, in an attempt to buy themselves some longevity in New York, GM and coach are thinking Sanders becomes a project. Russ is your quarterback. He. See, here's where I'm sort of sad. What the Tommy DeVito, Tommy cutlets will be out of the picture. No, but I think Jameis Winston now finds himself like, what is he, the second string? But yet, you know, Sanders is in the wing. So if the Giants somehow have this meeting on Thursday, this little run through hang with Shador Sanders on Thursday, and they come to the conclusion of it's good for the team, it's good for the city. They, they like his vibe. They like his. What he brings to the table. Then you got to ask yourself, Jameis Winston, Russell Wilson, you have a quarterback room that's fill. And Tommy DeVito, your local mozzarell, your local Italian flair, Tommy Gauntlets. I to me, your quarterback room is already filled. Unless you think Shador Sanders is the type that's cool to sit for a year or so. I mean, I know the rust deals short. Yeah. But maybe you don't want to throw a guy like him out there to fail out to the wolves. There's high expectations here, so maybe it's in his best interest to get some playing time, but to get acclimated at the same time, maybe he who he is and the expectations. So again, he's not starting. We know that. But to not have this meeting would be counterproductive for the Giants. You got to have this meeting, got to have this workout. You got to keep that door open. And again, none of the other answers are solid answers. So it would be a year max. I don't think Russell Wilson's the answer. He's not. He's a temporary fix. Winston's not the answer. Tommy Cutlet's not the answer. So there's total room for Shador Sanders to grow up and be that guy, at least by next year. The reason why a lot of people are raising their eyebrows to this Covino is because it is a weak in a couple of days until the draft, and usually you've already done your. Your private workouts, your interviews. He's already had his pro day. So this. And who was it? It was Pete Frisco who was on with our early morning show, and he said this reeks of quarterback panic to him because Joe, Shane and company want to save their jobs. Panic or due diligence? Well, but due diligence was weeks ago. This is now. Can we save our job if we catch Jaden Daniels in a bottle type quarterback play for the next upcoming season? You know, you know what it's like. Hold on, Rich, you always give this analogy, so I got to give it because you're going to forget Russell Wilson is the temporary answer here, but he's not the one. You're not married to Russell Wilson. Right. So in a sense, don't you feel like the Giants are simply just going to the one first? Like, hey, we don't want you to be the one that got away and they're going to Shador Sanders before we get in bed and sort of marry Russell Wilson for the next few years. Like, we want to make sure you're not interested. So you're saying Russ is who you'd Sleep with in the meantime. Yes, Russ. Russ is the girl you'll sleep with because, you know, you're. You won't. You're not going to marry her. Right. But they're going to the one we want. Hey, you're the one we want to marry. So we want to talk to you first and let you know that, hey, you're the one we're going to marry you. This guy is just, you know, he's just there killing time with yourself. You're getting it out of your system with Russia. Absolutely. You know, we see that all the time. All right, who do the Giants want to marry? Who's the one? Well, to bet. To back up Danny G's point about. Yeah. About also saving your job and buying time. Shane and Dable, which sounds like a law firm, are. Are trying to figure out how can we extend our stay as GM and coach of the Giants. And again, if you get a little lightning in a bottle and some good vibes with Shador Sanders, then you might attach yourself to a little more time in charge. We saw this last year before Joe Douglas got fired for the Jets. We're like, go after Devonte Adams. Shoot your shot. Take your Hail Mary, because you're going to get. You're likely going to lose your job, so you might as well go out trying. And remember when they went after Devonte Adams and like, what? Just go for it. They're going for it. And I think it's very similar to a relationship. Let's say you have a buddy who's just marrying someone they're not really that in love with. Wouldn't you advise your buddy, like, hey, that girl you always liked, though, why don't you just throw it out there before you walk down the aisle? Just throw it out there. I've told friends, take your shot. I've told friends in a terribly, like, almost bad friend way. Ralph, are you. I'd go hang out with other girls just to see. Just to see. Listen, Shador Sanders, he has plenty of upswing. I mean, it's the Giants. Go around the room. Go around the room. Aside from that, though, he's got a starting gig in a year. Be aggressive. Be aggressive. Be assertive. Right now, around the room, all four of us. Will Shador Sanders be drafted by the New York Giants in nine days? Danny James. I say in the end, they actually trade down. So, no. No, I was. Sam, is Shador Sanders a giant? No. Covino. I'm going to say yes based on my inside source and knowledge of their true interest. And that's why they're taking this meeting, because he is the one. You wouldn't go out, like I said, if you were. Your source is the same person that did investigating in Billy Madison. As I would say, Sideburns. Ms. Lippy's car is green. Oh, thank you, Sadburns. Billy likes milk. Oh, boy. Here he is. That's who. That's who does Covino's investigating. So you're saying yes? I'm saying it's a really sexy story and it sounds fun, but I'm going to say no based on the fact that the quarterback room right now is so full, it's almost like a bunch of people that aren't the one. But it's like, I would love to, but, you know, we got Ross and Jameis Winston and Tommy Cullitz making some gabagool in the corner. He's making some mana gut. To me, the room is too full. But Camino saying, like, will you make room for the hot chick in the room? Are you. You know, you. If the. If the club is full and this hot girl's in line, you find a way to get some dudes out of the club to get those girls in. And you're saying Shador Sanders might be that hot girl for the Giants. So I think they're just doing it for what. All right, so let's shift gears now. Other NFL quarterback stuff before the draft. Aaron Rodgers, he has to commit or not to the Steelers in the next nine days, right? Because right now they have Kyle Rudolph and that's it. Are the Vikings out? This means. Well, here's. Here's the interesting part. You think the Vikings are out. But if the Vikings are out, I think we'd have a clear answer already on the Steelers. Here's my thought. The Vikings. According to Adam Schefter, the Vikings really like Drake May last year. Everyone thinks The Vikings, okay, J.J. mcCarthy, yeah, they like him and clearly they like him, but he wasn't their first choice. And this according to Schefter. So what if there was this thought of. Well, McCarthy's coming off the injury. He's a young man, Aaron Rodgers. That team's more ready to win than, of course, the Steelers, according to a lot of people. Is he ready to win? And I say that respectfully, man. I got no hatred towards Aaron Rodgers, but when I hear anyone talk about him, I'm like, you really think this guy's the answer to anything? Yeah. Well, the rumors are that's why the Vikings have been dragging their feet is because the Pitch from Rogers, according to reports, was that, hey, let's get this. I have one season to give you where we can go far deep into the playoffs, make a run, and I will mentor McCarthy. He can sit behind me that one season. So as that. Great. No, but you're forgetting one major factor, the distraction and expectation that comes with this dude. Remember my favorite show in the 80s, Colombo? And by the way, hold on again. No, no. To tie it into relationships, there's things you put up with when she's really hot. Guess what? Aaron Rodgers is not that hot anymore. You want to put up with all the ancillary nonsense. So in the 80s, you know, as you've known me for 20 years, I love Columbo so much. So let's play detective. Never heard you talk about Colombo. Let's play detective one more time and get that last sip of cold brew. Thank you, man. Do it. Oh, yeah. I don't think it's rude. It's part of the morning feel. Some people think it's rude when you slurp the last sip of your drink. I don't go. Go for it. I do it for effect. Let's. Hey, we're live. It's morning. Just hit your cough button. No, let's. Let's hear your disgusting slurp. No. No. So I don't want to ruin anyone's breakfast. So let's play detective. If Minnesota was a hundo percento sold on JJ McCarthy and there's no chance of anyone else, why is quarterback two, Brett Rippon just sort of standing by? They've given no effort to go after a true solid veteran backup or someone to mentor or someone to be with JJ McCarthy, because they're leaving that window slightly open. You watch the mitt. I'll know this is true, that if the minute Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers, you see the Vikings go out and get a veteran. For all you know, you bring back Kirk Cousins for a year, you know, I'm saying there's. You're going to see the Vikings make a move if he signs with the Steelers, and that'll prove that they were holding out some type of hope or possibility. He has to make a decision soon, man. Yeah, I mean, it's. It would be rude if he doesn't. Right. So how will the dominoes fall? Here is basically what it comes down to, the quarterback situation. Your thoughts on Sanders. We gave you ours. Aaron Rodgers, man, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up just not even playing. Dude. I would not be surprised. Hold on, Wait a Minute. Oh, you got breaking news. Not breaking news, but our buddy Matt in Minnesota. Yeah. Who has as many inside sources as you do. I mean, I say that I have a little. Okay, okay, maybe I would say, but he's a, he's a die hard ticket holder. He's a big Vikings. Yeah, he said there's a lot of local rumors in the Minnesota market that the Vikings are putting out the idea of a trade for Justin Herbert. Oh, that was weeks ago on vikings podcast sending McCarthy to play with Harbaugh, you know, his old coach at Michigan. But there's, there's a lot of that local banter in Minnesota as to like maybe they're trying to pull a little McCarthy and some picks for Herbert. He would get roasted. Harbaugh would if he traded Herbert away from the Chargers to get his boy that he won a national a chip with. It doesn't matter, man. Herbert is held in such high regard. But you know what, Herbert, what do you have, like 18 interceptions, one game in the playoffs last year. I'm not, I'm not arguing with you on that, but can you imagine? I'm with you, Danny G. 100%. I'm like, Herbert, get out of here. He's not going anywhere. But then again, I never thought Luka would be a Laker. You know, you never know. So you never know. Wouldn't that kind of be shocking though, to move? Of course. I mean, he is absolutely considered, you know, easily a top 10 quarterback in the league that pooped a bet in the playoffs last year. But you don't know what you have in McCarthy for the NFL. You don't know if that's going to translate to the NFL is play in college. I know, but hey, it's fun to speculate, right? Hey, nine days till the NFL draft. We'll get to more NFL. We got some NBA play in action going on today and a fun story about Rory McElroy that we'll get to next. I can't say his name. Yeah, I know, but you almost got it that time. Rory McElroy. McElroy, you have to. We got more Camino and Rich next in for Dan Patrick.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say. And not just about hockey. Believe me, he does Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll Lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey. And try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, welcome back to the show. CNR in for Dan Patrick. Day two of the Dan Patrick hat trick. Which means we'll be here tomorrow. You're reaping all the benefits. So excited to be here. We'll be here next Tuesday as well. And for Dan Patrick, I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis, Danny G. Super producing. He's on the phones at 877-99-FOX getting contestants for Shaq Diesel Trivia. We do it every Tuesday. We give away prizes, do some trivia. Sometimes Patrick Mahomes stops by. But today I saw Whack Diesel in the hallway getting some coffee. So he'll be here in a second. I was Sam on the ones and twos. And that's Dicky Doodle Davis. What's up, Rich? I hate when you call me that, but Dicky Doodle Davis, what does that even mean? Anyway, I'm looking at the games for tonight. NBA playing games. And one of them will spark your interest. The other would be a game you wouldn't watch if they paid you. Let me guess, Grizzly's Warrior sparks your interest. Well, yeah, obviously. Hawks magic you don't care about. Unless someone pulled a hawk out of a hat. And that was the magic they had. Hey, Rich, I pulled a Hawk. I pulled the Hawk out of my ass. That's the. That's the magic that I'd watch. But other than that, Hawks magic, I think no thunks. But I'm going to be glued to that Grizzlies warriors game because listen, they could both make it. Obviously the loser then plays the winner of the 9 10. So they could both make it. And I think they both will make it. But I think for purposes of who wants to avoid okc. Yeah, exactly. I think Houston should be worried if golden state is the seven that faces them as a two seat. So that's at 7:00 West coast time. That's the late game tonight. So Grizzlies, Warriors, I give that a thumbs up. Hawks and magic. Yeah, I rather watch Love is Blind or something. No, you got to at least have that one on in the background. Show them some love. I'd Rather watch that balloon popping show that I hear sucks. I rather. You know what that is. Yeah. What's all. What's about that? I've seen what's about that? I don't know. But if that's the premise. Balloons, I'm out. I'm not. I'm not expecting greatness from that show. Regardless. What's about that? What's up? What's about that? You know what is what the kiddo say? It was a. As we're getting ready to play our game, it was a viral game on social media that they took to Netflix. And every clip I saw on social media was funny. I watched the first episode of the show and it stunk. The whole point is all these women have, like, a red balloon. A dude walks in, and the minute they're, like, turned off by this guy, they pop the balloon. Yeah. Remember that? Somebody did that. They spoofed it with Charles Barkley. Yeah. Recently. So you know, Chappelle did it on SNL too. Some guy, you know, walks in automatically. Two girls, like, pop popping. Like, I just walked in like, I don't like your shirt. So it's so dumb. But this is a better game. Shaq Diesel trivia. Let's go. Whenever we say not to name drop, that means we're about to name drop. I'll name drop. Oh, my goodness. Not only are CNR friends with Tyson and Mahomes. Hey, man. They're also buddies with the Big Aristotle. What's up? It's big Shaq Diesel. AKA Shaq Fu, AKA Shaq Daddy, AKA the Big Aristotle. Guess what? It's time to win some C and R prize. Time for some basketball trivia. Shaq Diesel basketball trivia. What'd he say? I used to break bad boys. Now I'm breaking records for FSR Radio. Shaq Diesel basketball trivia. All right. FSR Security walking our broke Shaq Fu into the main studio. Hey, what's up? You guys are big time now. You guys. Hey, you guys are doing a real show. Dan Patrick show. Thanks for getting up early. Hey, who's this guy over here? Who is this guy? Oh, that's Big Mike. Who runs this place. That was Rick from Pawn Stars. I thought that was Stone Cold Steve Austin. What was up with you at UFC with those dirty looks to that fighter? Yeah, I don't like that guy. I don't like you either. It's too early for this. It's too early for this. He's grumpy in the morning. Don't get on two with me, Crunchy. Check. And by the way, I heard your daughter likes the Dodgers. Yeah, she's got good taste. That's why I like the Dodgers, too. All right, let's meet the contestants. 10 time winner, Rich Davis, right over there. Let's go, Shaq. Four time winner, spotty boy in the big number five. Feeling it. The leader in the clubhouse is 13 time winner, Dan Beyer. But he's going to be on for us this afternoon. I just want to be clear. Just there's nothing big about five. Nothing big about number five. So with DB on the air this afternoon, that means sitting in for him is Big Mike. Hey, I'm a poor substitute. Mike's like the substitute you can take advantage of. Like no work all day. We're gonna go to the studio lines to see who is gonna play for a CNR stainless steel swiggy. All right, Mike, I will use you for this. Would you love to travel to Beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana, St. Louis, Missouri, Orlando, Florida, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, or Tampa Bay, Florida? Ooh. Yeah. So my brother lives in Tampa Bay, so let's go with Tampa. And it's always nice to have Florida man on the show. That's some fun times in Tampa. That is Florida, man. That is Wes in Tampa. What up, Wes? Hey, Wes. Hey, Wes, are you there? There he is. Hey, Wes, what do you do for a living there in Tampa Bay? Yeah, I'm a doordasher, man. I work for myself. There you go. All right, here are the rules for Shaq Diesel Trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champion. If there's a tie, we have a tiebreaker question. Your name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read. If there's two wrong answers in a row, we move on to the next question. Are you ready? Let's get it on. All right, let's get this big Aristotle party started. The warriors will be front and center tonight in a play in tournament. What's the name of their mascot? Is it A, the Bay Burner, B, the City Scrapper, or C, they have no official mascot. Mike. Big Mike. C. Yes. Wow, man. He came to play, he jumped in on that. He ain't playing no games. Look at that. All right, so Big Mike, who doesn't run this place on the board as we move to round two. All right, it's me, Shaquille O'Neal. What was I once quoted saying about my speech? A, I may mumble, but every word is worth a million bucks. B, you couldn't hear my voice very well. On the court. So I made the crash of the rim and the backbone of my speaker. Or C, I had a stuttering problem my whole life. I still do. I'm just cool with it now. What did I once say? Giving Wes a chance there. Yeah, Wes, I'm giving you a little time. Yeah, Wes. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was my turn. No, you don't. You just buzz in with your name. With your name. Wes. Oh, I'm sorry. I. I missed that part. I would say he said he did A, talking with the back. By what? On the backboard. Backboard. B, no, I'm sorry. Spot for the steel. I'm gonna go with a no. You're both losers. I won't say I had a stuttering problem my whole life. And I still do. I'm just cool with it now. Yeah, you can't answer after. No. I feel like Rich and I should each get half a point for this. You guys being terrible. All right, so we moved around. A1 was pretty good. Yeah. Good. Good fake answer. Thank you. Big Mike is the only one on the board as we go to round three. Yeah. Round three. The Thunder won an incredible 68 games this season. They have surpassed the previous franchise record of how many wins? A, 13, B, 8. Or C, 4. Mike. Big Mike. Trying to get the W. See? No, Wes. Wes. I'll go with the eight. Eight. Yes. Wes. On the board. Eight wins. Better this season than their franchise record. Look at that. All right, halfway to a swiggy as we go to round four. Shaquille O'Neal. I loved watching Michigan's Fab Five. Which member of the crew spent his first two seasons with Denver and eventually made his way to the Pacers? A, Chris Webber, B, Jalen Rose. Or C, Juwan Howard? Mike. Oh, Big Mike. B. Jalen Rose. Yes. Big Mike. Big Mike. He's a winner. Yeah. I can't believe it. This time he's won. Anyway, is FSR history? I can't believe it. Big Mike, I can't believe you actually won a game. And would you love to came in here, slapped you guys around or like to or. Big Mike, are you going to keep this swiggy for yourself? You want to mail it to Tampa Bay? To Wes? Well, I think Wes should get it. Why don't we send that off to Tampa Bay? What a guy. Mike made you guys look stupid. Like. Like when I shoved Dudley. Remember when I shoved Dudley? Yes, I do remember that. Yeah. He just gave you the Dudley treatment. I. I gotta ask you, Mike. How does this compare to fun fact? Mike was on Supermarket Sweep once. That's correct. Is this as fun? Oh, the way more fun. This is so much more fun than Supermarket Sweep. Plus, you get to hang out with me. Yeah, absolutely. Right. You have to go for all the meats first, right? You know, Jesus. You know, Shaq, I do an impression of you. By the way, they come with a big cactus. Oh, man, that's terrible. That's terrible. Terrible impression. What? No, it's your form of flattery of my life. All right, well, thank you, guys. I'm busy. I'm too busy for this science space right now. What's going on? Later, guys. Speaking of space. Thank you, bro. Speaking of space. Wait, duck your head right there. I wake up. Did my alarm go off this morning? Hey, Spot.
