Since 1975. In fact, I think my oldest brother might have bought me Miller lite back in 1973 or four. No, actually it was 75 because that's when they started. Yeah.

Spent a little bit of time talking about the Colts situation. They have decided to go with Daniel Jones as the starter instead of Anthony Richardson. Here is the Colts head coach Shane Steichen with the question about Daniel Jones. Why do you think you all can.

Play football for the Giants, it wasn't good.
- [04:39]
Guest Analyst
Well, I think that he's proven that he's played good football in that 2022. You know, he had a hell of a year that year. I think that was the highest completion rate in Giants franchise history that season. So he's proven to do it. I know he's had his ups and downs, but everyone's journey is different and feel confident in his abilities.
- [04:58]
Dan Patrick
You better. Your job's probably, you know, hanging in the balance there. But this is what we do. Anthony Richardson didn't say, hey, I'm the fourth best player in the draft. Chris Ballard's the gm. Why is it the player is always the bust, not the GM or the coach? Anthony Richardson came in as a raw talent and he was a project. But I think every quarterback who comes into the NFL is a project of sorts. It's just varying degrees. Anthony Richardson was 20 years of age. He's still, he's younger than quite a few quarterbacks. He's younger than Shador Sanders is. He's younger than, you know, all these other rookies. Jackson Dart of the Giants. It's going to take time. I just don't think organizations, coaching staffs have that ability to. They don't have time on their side because everybody seems to look and go, why can't we find our Jaden Daniels? Why can't we find our Bo Knicks? Why can't we find our Drake May? Therefore, we're not very patient. And the Colts, you got a coaching staff that their jobs probably hang in the balance and they're probably going to be taking the safe way with Daniel Jones. Is Daniel Jones a better quarterback than Anthony Richardson? The answer is yes. Does Anthony Richardson have a higher ceiling? Yes, I believe he does. But if you look at how he's played in the first two years, these are all the things that the scouts pointed out that he doesn't do well. Footwork is terrible. Very, very inconsistent with his throws. He has one speed, he throws it really hard. He's going to take chances. He gets injured and he took himself out of a game. So those are the negatives there. Now the positives, you know, you run a 4, 443 at the combine and you can throw it probably 80 yard. I mean these are all great attributes. You still have to understand how to play the game. When you go to the line of scrimmage, how, how quickly do you get out of the huddle? Now this is, you know, from my source because I said, will you go back and look at your notes on Anthony Richardson? And that's what he talked about. He thought that it was a high risk draft pick, not a first round or second round grade. I look at Jalen Milroe who's with Seattle and I think he's got a brighter future than Anthony Richardson because Jalen Milroe was a third round draft pick and he was a guy who can run and throw and was a better thrower of the football when he was at Alabama. In fact, I think underrated there a great talent, similar size, speed. But you know, here he's a guy who's a third round draft pick. He will get a chance to sit and he might be playing sooner than later. Sam Darnold's the starter, but that's basically a one year deal. They think highly of Jalen Milroe and he might get that opportunity, but he wasn't the fourth pick overall. Anthony Richardson and his agent probably are going, do we try to get out of this situation? But then what is the trade value? Who wants Anthony Richardson? With what you've seen, you're gonna, you're gonna take him on potential. But the problem I still have is, you know, Trey Lance is not the guy who drafted Trey Lance. Zach Wilson didn't draft Zach Wilson. It's the people in the front office. Zach Wilson played one really good season. Trey Lance, one really good season. It's not enough. We've talked about this. You've got to have at least 30 starts, then you're ready or you're more ready. But, you know, the bottom line is they're all projects. Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart, I think is going to be the starter this year with the Giants at some point. He's really good. And during the season I said he had a first round grade and he goes late first round to the Giants. But we've seen quarterbacks taken high, we've seen them taken low. We've seen them with the last pick in the draft. You must be able to play the position and understand the position. It is not talent. There's certain sports where talent can take over. You can go out there and be a basketball player and not really know how to play basketball, but you can still play. You can be in the game. You can actually be really good because you have talent and Anthony Richardson has talent. But that will only get you so far. I mean, if you look at the list of great quarterbacks, it's not necessarily athleticism. It is, how do I lead? How do I get out of the huddle, change the play at the line of scrimmage? How do I process what's going on? Hey, I'm going to check down. Do I protect the football? Do I go, you know, down for a sack instead of trying to make something? I mean, these are all the things that you just check. You got to do all these things if you have any chance of being successful. But I feel bad for Anthony Richardson because he didn't draft him and he's a project. He's still raw. He, he's going to be one of those guys. And we're seeing this now more and more. And Daniel Jones is one of those guys that you get that second chance. A Geno Smith, you get that second chance. Sam Darnold, you get a second chance. That's what happens now that all of a sudden it's two years and we move on. And then you'll bring in somebody else. Because this is what you ultimately hear Boy, that quarterback class for next year is great. So you're already thinking, all right, what are we going to do next year? Who are we going to draft next year? I mean, the Browns are going to go through this situation. You know, Joe Flacco is not the starter next year. Are they going to give Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel an opportunity to prove if they can be a starter, will they get this year and then maybe next year? But the Browns have two first round draft picks, the Rams. The Rams will probably move on from Matthew Stafford after this year. Is Stetson Bennett going to be the heir apparent there? They have two first round draft picks. It's so enticing to go. That guy, we, I see what we have here, but that guy, he's got potential, man. Look at him. He's carving up SEC defenses. We see this every single year. But Anthony Richardson, we can label him a bust or at least potentially a bust. But the pick is the bust. Mitchell Trubisky, the pick is the bust. Trey Lance, maybe they weren't ready to play and we've seen that. I don't. I keep thinking Trey Lance, maybe he can still play, but what's he on his third team now? He might not be able to be a starter in the league, but then there are other guys that you go, jacoby Brissette knows how to play the game. He might not be high end, but why is it Jacoby Brissette or Teddy Bridgewater can play better than somebody who is as talented as Anthony Richardson or Joe Flacco? I can outrun him. We're about the same age, but he's just out there playing. Here's Joe talking about being a 40 year old quarterback.
- [12:20]
Guest Analyst
It's always one of those things that, like, I think as a football player you just want to play, but I think you got to give a lot of credit to obviously Tom, for anybody even thinking about doing it. Obviously there was guys before you have, you know, Warren Moon and I talked about it a couple weeks ago, Vinny Testaverde and other guys that have done it. But I mean, he pushed the boundaries like he did in absolutely everything. No surprise that he did it in that way as well. But, you know, it's. I don't think it's necessarily something that I actively think about until people kind of remind me with texts and things like that and you guys ask me about it. I don't think it's a huge deal right now, but I'm sure when I look back on it, it'll be pretty cool.
- [13:01]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Right, because the position has evolved. Now you don't have to be 6:5, stationary with a rocket for an arm. Now we kind of. It's open to interpretation, but it still comes back to, can you play the position? And I like an Anthony Richardson too. It's a piece of property and it overlooks the water and man, that looks gorgeous. I wonder what we could build on that piece of property. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco, he's just a, you know, maybe a condominium and moves as fast as a condominium. You know, two bedroom condo. There's our guy. I mean, you can have Brady, who has a mansion, or John Elway or those guys, Anthony Richardson and some of these younger quarterbacks. It's just a piece of property that has a great view or the potential for something really nice. But can you play the position? And when I talked to my source last night, he went over his notes and I just kept going, check, check, check. And he said, sometimes we'll fall in love with one or two plays. And we go, oh, my goodness, did you see that? And there is a play that Anthony Richardson has. I think it's a 60 yard pass. It's gorgeous. It's unbelievable. It's like when Zach Wilson had his pro day and he did the let me turn and go left and throw right and do the Mahomes thing. Oh, my God, you see that? I go, that doesn't mean anything. I mean, it's nice, but it doesn't. It's like the guy in your backyard who's just. He's unbelievable. And then he gets into a structured game and he can't play. And that's what happens. We fall in love with a highlighter too. We're so highlight driven. And it comes down to every single day, every single game, all of those moments. Yeah, Paulie.
- [14:57]
Paulie
And the Colts, going back to when Anthony Richardson was a rookie, ignored everything you would do with a rookie who's a project. They announced him as the starter for week one, halfway through training camp on August 15th, they had Gardner Minshew. They could have let Minshew handle the first half of the season and handed it off to Richardson, literally. And they didn't. And he got hurt in Games 2 and 3, and that curtailed him. And the other thing is, you know, Patrick Mahomes sat his rookie year. Mahomes, because they thought of him as a project. And that guy had like 70 touchdowns in college. Passing.
- [15:30]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, he came in as a gunslinger. They weren't quite sure, you know, you're gonna kind of have to reel him in a little bit there. He wants to be like Farve. Well, he understands how to play the game. He can throw for 50 touchdowns or he can throw for 25. But the bottom line is he's going to win games. His stats last year weren't great. When they lose one game, one game in the regular season when he threw for 50 touchdowns, they lost four games. It's understanding how to win a game. What do I need to do today? What do I need to do this quarter? What do I need to do in the final two minutes? How many of those quarterbacks, how many times do we say this with Tom Brady? Three minutes to go. Two minutes to go. He's got the ball. Oh, boy, you're going to lose. It just happened. Why? He just knew how to win a game. John Elway, two minutes ago. Damn, he's got the ball. We're gonna lose. The question is, how are we? Hey, let's guess how we're going to lose. You can have great athleticism, great talent, but you have to have a mind for the game. But you also have to have a coaching staff that doesn't have turnover, that you have the same offensive coordinator, you know, the same coach that is so important and underrated. Yeah, Paulie.
- [16:48]
Paulie
I went back and looked at Anthony Richardson's draft profile by lance Zierlein of NFL.com and the player comp is Cam Newton. But he wraps it up by saying imagine if Cam Newton didn't do anything in college. Really? Cam Newton had all the production and won and had everything and passed and ran. Anthony Richardson got benched his last year for another player and they said it's got tons of upside and it's. But it's going to be one of the bigger risks if someone takes him in the first round. That was said before the draft.
- [17:15]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. And you would watch a game, there'd be times where you couldn't take your eyes off of him. And then there'd be other times when you're watching and nothing stood out. But is he going to play this year? I think with the coaching staff probably coaching for their jobs, he's probably going to have to find a job elsewhere to play, but he's got two years left on his contract.

Some baseball last night and I've been watching a lot of the Yankees because the Yankees are on a terror now. You can hit home runs during the regular season. You can overwhelm teams during the regular season. This is about postseason success. And I'm watching the Yankees and I'm going, all right, that's a lot of home runs that they've hit. They've hit 14 home runs in the last two games. That's a staggering amount. But this lineup has been very good. They lead baseball at scoring over five runs per game as the calendar creeps to September and dips into October. This is about pitching and the Yankees have the 16th best team ERA. Now, they lost Garrett Cole before the season even started. But six months, you can have an elite lineup and bludgeon your way to some success, get a playoff berth. But if you're going to win a World Series, it's going to be about pitching come September and certainly October. Speaking of pitching, Shohei Ohtani, he got roughed up his first career start at Coors Field. He gave up five runs, nine hits in four innings. Also took a comebacker off the leg. He did have a double and a walk to extend his on base streak to 18 games. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay. The Padres aren't going away. They're kind of hanging there, game behind. Is that our first? Overrated for Shohei Ohtani.

Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of this program. And for over 40 years, Tire Rack's been helping you find the right tires for how and what and where you drive. Ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options. Tirewrack.com the way tire buying should be we had Mark Pryor on yesterday. He's the Dodgers pitching coach and we talked about Shohei Ohtani because they're trying to give him more innings and I'm watching the game and he was getting roughed up and they kept him out there. Get a few more pitches, few more innings, and then they finally took him out. But Prior said that there could be a possibility of a relief appearance for Shohei Ohtani, come postseason time that that is being considered by the Dodgers. You look at him as a starting pitcher. Plus, here's the thing with being a closer. If you're going to be in the field, how are you going to warm up? It's almost as if you're a DH now. You can go warm up, but you don't want Shohei Ohtani warming up and then not getting into the game because closers will tell you nothing worse. Then you think you're going to go. You, you get warmed up, Skip says go out there, start throwing and then you don't get in the game. Can't do that with Ohtani. But as far as the starting pitching, he looked pedestrian last night against Colorado, the new and improved Rockies. But just some of the baseball that I saw last night.
- [26:21]
Paulie
Yes, Paul, I was thinking about this, that Ohtani is going to win the MVP going away this year, even though his numbers are quite a bit down. Hitting from last year, I mean, he had 59 steals last year. He's down to 17. His homers are a little down, his batting average is a bit down. But it's like his aura is going to win him these things. The, the options the Dodgers have with him to close, start, play him, not play him. It's like he's bigger than anyone else, clearly.
- [26:47]
Dan Patrick
Well, he doesn't have competition. Kyle Schwaber is pretty much one dimensional, but I do think he should be in the race. I mean, he is in the race. He's in second place. But I was curious Ohtani getting roughed up, what that meant for the draft kings odds for Ohtani. So he was minus 8000 yesterday to win the MVP. Now it's minus 6000. So he went down 2000 points. Kyle Schwaber was plus 1300 yesterday. He's plus 900. The race is really in the American League with Aaron Judge -200 and Cal. Raleigh is hanging in there. I think Raleigh's got to hit 60 home runs. At least 60 home runs. And if he does and you're a playoff team, then maybe he could win the mvp. But we might see this happening for the next couple of years with Ohtani and Aaron Judge and the PGA Tour Championship. Scotty Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite starting today. This is, this is Tiger. Like, okay, I'm not saying he's playing like Tiger or, you know, he is Tiger, the second coming of Tiger. But how big of a favorite that's tiger. Like, he's plus 150. Rory McElroy is plus 800. 50. That's the second best odds. This is Tiger, like college football. This weekend it's week zero. Iowa State, K State in Dublin. I got Iowa State getting three. I'm curious about Stanford at Hawaii, believe it or not.
- [28:16]
Paulie
Yeah, you are.
- [28:17]
Dan Patrick
Stanford. Stanford getting two and a half at Hawaii. Fresno State at Kansas. I'm mildly curious about that. Fresno State getting 12 and a half at KU. See, these are games that I love. These are the. Nobody loves us, nobody cares about us, nobody respects us. And they'd be right. But I do. I love watching these games, especially early in the season. And maybe it's just I take any football. But here we are, two days away until college football and we're inching closer to the opening of the NFL. And speaking of the NFL, we've spoken about this before, but now you have the possibility of having a discussion of maybe having the super bowl played in London. Now, London wants this. Okay. The UK ambassador, Peter Mandelson, lobbies for the super bowl to be held in Britain. He's the US Ambassador and he's lobbying for the first super bowl outside of the United States. Okay, I. This is how these things get started. Now, if the commissioner, if somebody has an opportunity to talk to him and say, hey, what did you think of the UK ambassador talking about a Super Bowl? The commissioner will say the following. Oh, you know what? We've considered everything, the growth of the sport, and we play so many games. Now, the international, you know, part portion of this and, you know, it's something that we'll take into consideration. But as for now, we have the super bowl and we have, you know, cities that are locked in over the next X number of years. I mean, but he will address it. I don't know if he would give you a no comment if he gave you no comment. Well, now I'm really interested, but you might get some political speak from the commissioner. But I think it's inevitable. And I don't know if there's any of us who will turn it off or not tune in because it's not in the United States. Now, you might have a, you know, that anti American sentiment and, you know, what are we doing? And that's our sport. Well, we shipped out baseball opening day. I don't know if anybody was enraged by that except for me. The NBA is expanding. Maybe there's a European portion of this, but I think you're every, every sport's looking for growth. Even golf now, you know, golf just hired Tiger Woods, Theo Epstein. They're trying to look at the future of the sport. And they're promising. There's big changes there. But Tiger was named to a committee that's basically about the future of the sport. And they promise big changes. And I don't know what those big changes could be, but every sport is looking for more revenue. How do we grow the game? And there's going to be a separate TV package for the international game. So the NFL is going to sell that offer, you know, a billion dollars, because now they have more revenue. We've added another game now they'll add another game after that, and then you're going to have maybe more international games. But I think this is just inevitable with the growth of the game. Baseball. Baseball's talking about expansion. Maybe four new teams in here. Maybe they're going to have realignment. Maybe we don't have an American League, International League. And I know if you're of my age or anybody over 50, you're probably saying, he's ruining the sport. They're going to ruin the sport. All of these commissioners know where is the next piece of revenue because they have to beholden. They're beholden to the owners because the owners are saying, we got to make more money. Got to make more money. College football, we. We're at 12 now. We'll go to 14 or 16. And now you have at least the possibility proposals on the table of going to 24, 28, March Madness, 68. Well, you got to go to 72 or 76. Every one of these sports, it's about the growth. How do we grow it? How do we make more money? And that's happening right now, happening right now with baseball, happening right now with the NBA, happening right now with the NFL. And golf is trying to grow the sport again. And you have the competition with Live Tour. And now Tiger's involved in this. Theo Epstein, who's a baseball gm, I mean, he's involved in this. And maybe there is something that they'll do that I don't know what could be drastic. I think, you know, maybe the number of events. I like relegation. I. But, you know, relegation. They have relegation on Live Tour. And Ian Poulter, I think, just got relegated. Why? I know that I don't know. I have no life. But I think that's the interesting part of watching what they're trying to do and not. You can't stay stagnant. There's some things this baseball commissioner has done that I think are positive. I. I think that he's. He earned criticism with talking about the World Series trophy was just a piece of metal when talking about the Astros. That was stupid. The Pete Rose portion of putting him on the ballot or making him eligible, that came from pressure from President Trump. Roger Goodell, he's a businessman. It's growth of the game. It's not necessarily for the betterment of the game, but I don't think anybody's going to tune out the super bowl if it's played in London. But I do think we're going there. I don't know when. Maybe it's 10 years, but maybe in our lifetime we're going to have a Super bowl outside the United States. Yes.

Todd, is there anything that these leagues can do, you know, while they're chasing the next dollar and the greed and the revenue that would really turn the sports fan off. They may not love it, but ultimately, if you like sports, you're going to watch. If there's extra college basketball teams in the tournament, if there's extra college football teams in the playoffs, is there really anything that they can do where it's like, wow, that's too much. No, thanks, I'm not watching this anymore.

Dan Patrick
Well, I wondered about this and this is not on the par of this, obviously, but when we were doing SportsCenter and I remember my boss at the time, Steve Bornstein, he said, we're going to re air SportsCenter all morning long. And I thought that's stupid. And then all of a sudden I realized there was a whole generation that wasn't able to stay up at 11 o' clock or, you know, one o' clock in the morning. They got to watch that in the morning. And you guys are probably the demo that we appealed to. You got to have SportsCenter re airing starting at 6 in the morning and went all morning long. And it would be the same Sports center. But there you were catering to an audience that was missing out on staying up and watching all the highlights. And it turned out to be a brilliant move. But I don't know if can you get too much football? Mark Cuban talked about this was it pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. And we haven't found that yet. We haven't found that you can be. You'll push yourself away from the sports buffet.

Paulie
Yeah, Paul, I will say there's one thing the fans are having and going to have a problem with this upcoming year with football. If you want to watch all the NFL games like four or five years ago, if you got the red zone package, you could watch everything. One check, 200 bucks, that's it. You're set for the season. Now you need Netflix, Peacock, Amazon prime, your basic cable channel for your local. You're getting to, you need like seven different packages or subscriptions to watch all the NFL games. And it's, it's, it's a labor to order all those and sign up for those. And it's costly. You're getting to the point. I did some research on this. If you want to watch all the NFL games this season, it's probably going to cost you 800 plus dollars in subscriptions. And four years ago, I would say it was about 199 five years, which.
- [36:23]
EV Advocate
Is still expensive as hell. 199 but worth it. But it's not nearly $1,000.
- [36:27]
Paulie
Yeah, back when DirecTV had the red zone and you could sign up for DirecTV's red zone. You got the red zone where you chopped up all the games. But then the, you could choose which game you go to. Now you're looking at 800 bucks for the entire season plus to get every package.

Yes, it's not unlike trying to watch soccer where you know, Peacock has the Premier League, Apple has mls, Paramount has usl, Fubo has the French league, ESPN has the Spanish league.

Believe they've done or they're doing some type of research in the NFL offices. What is the absolute most we can charge these people along with the networks where they'll still keep paying so we don't hit that spot where we're gonna lose viewership, we're gonna lose dollars. They're gonna push it to the last possible center that we're willing to spend. Why wouldn't they?

On the road rocking. John Fogarty, singer, songwriter, hall of Famer, just turned 80 in May and today a new album, Legacy, is being released as he re recorded some of his most beloved songs with the help of his sons Shane and Tyler. Have you seen the rain? Fortunate Son, Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising, but a big baseball fan. His song Center Field, the only song to be officially Inducted into the Baseball hall of Fame as we make way for John Fogarty, former lead singer of Credence Clearwater Revival. John, great to talk to you again. What was your reaction when you realized that the bat, guitar, and the song Center Field were becoming part of the Baseball hall of Fame?
- [43:43]
John Fogerty
Oh, that was right around maybe a couple months before it actually happened. It was right around the time that it occurred. I didn't get a lot of time to think about all the implications. You know, I. I was certainly very proud. Still proud.
- [44:00]
Dan Patrick
And then who. Whose idea was it to make a guitar out of a baseball bat or resemble a baseball bat?
- [44:07]
John Fogerty
Oh, that was my idea. I'd written Center Field, you know, more or less deciding that that's kind of where my mind had been over the. All the years of my life, you know, and just felt comfortable about, you know, center Field as an album was kind of a comeback for me, you might say, career wise. And the place, to me that was sort of ground zero was center field. It seemed like, especially on a lot of teams, the. The alpha male on the team seemed to be the center fielder, you know, like Willie Mays with the Giants, or back in the day, Babe Ruth before they moved him to right field. I think Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, you know, you go on. But anyway, and so I wrote the song and then eventually decided to name the album Center Field. Actually, it's the reverse. I named the album Center Field and didn't have a song. And then I came up with that guitar lick, you know, and realized that I started. I started just saying the things I said in life. I'd watch the Saturday game of the week, baseball. You know, there was one game on TV on Saturday, and I'd sit down and watch that, and I'd be yelling at the screen, screen, you know, like we do when something good happened or bad. And sometimes it'd be a phenom, you know, and something going not going well with the team you're rooting for. And I'd be yelling, put me in, coach. Put me. You know, it's just, you know, how you enjoy and interact with the game. And all of that stuff started coming out when I was playing that guitar lick and I realized I had a song that could be center field. So that came first. The album came out in 85, and it was a big success and all that. And I decided, well, you know, I'm going to be touring pretty soon. Wow, it'd be cool to be able to play center field on a baseball bat. So that's how it started for me.
- [46:19]
Dan Patrick
Now, clear up something, because I think I asked you about this a while ago, that you say brown eyed handsome man, and I thought you were talking about Joe DiMaggio because he played center field, and you said it's not about Joe DiMaggio, it's about Jackie Robinson.
- [46:37]
John Fogerty
Absolutely. I realize he's not the center fielder, and I guess I took a little tributary in the musical world there, but it just seemed important to me that that's a line that's in a Chuck Berry song, brown eyed handsome man, and he talks about round and third headed for home. And so that I just sort of borrowed that in my homage to Jackie Robinson. After all, if I'm writing a baseball song, he better be in there.
- [47:09]
Dan Patrick
We're talking to John Fogarty, formerly of Credence Clearwater Revival, Rock and Roll hall of Famer, has a new album called Legacy that comes out today. Some re recordings with his sons Shane and Tyler. You got fortunate, son. Have you seen the rain? Proud Mary? So tell me, what went into this project?
- [47:30]
John Fogerty
Well, you know, I recently got my songs back, the ownership a couple years ago, and that's a great big deal to any songwriter, of course, or any writer of any kind of material. And so finally, after more than 50 years of trying, I finally got the ownership of those songs back. It was actually facilitated by my dear wife, Julie. She's the one that really manifested this and made it happen. You know, she's a force of nature and God bless her. So with that in mind, finally accomplishing that, it just seemed kind of a natural progression to here in the present. You know, I just turned 80 this year. And the idea basically was, well, what do you do? What kind of a gift would I like? So I decided to give myself a gift and record a lot of the old Creedence songs I had written so many years ago again. And hopefully it would be seen as a gift also to my fans. And that was the motivation this time involving my family, meaning my wife and certainly my sons, Shane and Tyler, who are in my band. And they helped produce the record as well. So it was a family endeavor and, you know, a lot of love in that respect, making this record.

Take me back to Woodstock. What day were you on with Credence Clearwater Revival?
- [49:16]
John Fogerty
Well, it was supposed to be on Saturday night. The man on the phone had promised me that a prime spot, you know, the headlining spot on Saturday night. It's going to be nine o', clock, man. That's prime time. But things got later and later and later. This was, of course, during the era of hippies. I'm not sure anybody actually had a watch, but the whole. The whole program got later and later. And somewhere around midnight of Saturday, the Grateful Dead went on, and then they sort of stalled around on stage for a while. Nobody quite knew what was going on. I believe Credence went on Sunday morning, early around.

Dan Patrick
Were you there when Hendrix set his guitar on fire?

No, that was actually Monday morning. That was after the whole night of Sunday. You know, the whole festivities of the Sunday evening going into 12am and 1 and 2 and 3. Then the sun came up, and that's Monday morning when Jimmy went on.

Well, my. I know my falsetto is not quite as strong and pure as it used to be. You know, it's a little different around the edges, I think, but it's certainly as strong. I'm certainly as loud as I ever was, and that's probably as much to. I. I've been a runner all my life, and so I think all those miles of running kind of helped my stamina.
- [50:57]
Dan Patrick
Well, congrats on a great run, and it's not over. He's a Rock and Roll hall of Famer as a songwriter and, of course, as a singer. My best to the family, certainly. Julie and John, thank you for joining us.

John Fogarty. The album is Legacy, being released today. I met him. I'm trying to think how many years ago this. Almost 10 years ago at Howard Stern's 60th birthday party. And Gary Delibonte, Howard's longtime producer, invited me to come on and introduce Dave Grohl. And I said, okay. But I get there, and immediately I'm told by somebody, hey, John Fogarty wants to meet you. I'm thinking, all right, this is. I mean, it's the Howard Stern Show. So I'm. You know, somebody's punking me here. You know, Baba Bowie is going to jump out or, you know, stuttering John or somebody. And I. I go back, you know, through these hallways, and all of a sudden, I just walked up to a door and knock on the door, and John's wife answers. I said, I'm supposed to say hello to John. And she goes, he's been waiting for you. I walk in, and there he is. He's got his plaid shirt, his signature plaid shirt on, and he listens every morning in Los Angeles. And I said, okay, this has already proven to be a great night. Then I go back into this kind of a green room. And I got Slash from Guns N Roses and I got Dave Grohl. You know, you got all these people and they're kind of getting ready to go on and have their performances. And I walk up to Dave Grohl and I said, hey, I'm introducing you. He goes, I don't know anything about sports. My daughters play lacrosse. I said, well, I'm. Yeah, that has nothing to do with the introduction. He goes, yeah, this is what I want you to say that I. I grew up listening to Howard on a ham radio. And I said, okay. And then I just wanted to get it over with because, I mean, I had already had my highlight. I met John Fogarty. Go out, say hello to Robin, say hello to Howard, introduce Dave Grohl. And then I'm out the door. But you know, one of those surreal moments because there's John Fogerty, rock and Roll hall of Famer, and gave us so many great songs with Credence.
