Todd, are you proud of yourself that you wanted to have Thursday and Friday off?

[Todd Fritz]

I don't know if proud is the word. I think earned is the word. I think we all can get some days off throughout the year. I think we do a lot of shows compared to like almost anyone else in sports broadcast.

[Marvin]

Okay. Yeah. Soon.

[Dan Patrick]

Dan. We've been letting America down for 18 years this weekend. That is no different.

[Marvin]

That is true. All right. Yes. Marvin.

[Paul Pabst]

I don't feel bad because I worked eight straight years of every single holiday.

[Seton O'Connor]

So I earned it.

[Marvin]

Boo hoo. You got to work 8, 8 consecutive years of holidays, you got to do that.

[Dan Patrick]

That's spoken like the owner of a company right there. Yes.

[Marvin]

You get to.

[David Gascon]

How great is it that you get to do that?

[Marvin]

Yes.

[Todd Fritz]

My managers at the mothership weren't there.

[Marvin]

Oh, yeah. I know that.

[Todd Fritz]

You get a big opportunity.

[Dan Patrick]

The big opportunity. Hey, we want to get you in the chair, see what you can do again because that's just four Christmases in a row that you wanted to see what I could do on Christmas. What about all the other days of the year that you had me in the chair that you wanted to see what I could do?

[Marvin]

My wife would say, why are you working the holidays? Aren't you supposed to be a big deal there? And I go, I'm working the holidays is the big deal. That's what they keep convincing me. It's a big deal. Hey, man, you're lucky. Get to work on Christmas.

[Jim Jackson]

Okay, I'll do it.

[Marvin]

Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. So it's a meet Wednesday. Beef Wellington, creamed spinach, garlic and sage, whipped mashed potatoes. Who has it better than we do? I'm not a cream spinach guy. I like just the regular spinach. Just hardcore. Give me spinach. Give me some vinegar, straight up, a little salt and pepper. Cream spinach, kind of. You're cheating. It's like when you put bacon on Brussels sprouts. Like, you're just kind of cheating. Either have it or you don't. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought back in the day at Steaks Steakhouses you were big on the cream spinach.

[Marvin]

No, no, no, no. I like regular spinach. Sauteed is what they like. Sauteed spinaches is what they call them. By the way. Clayton Kershaw slated to pitch at home tonight against the White Sox. So going for 3,000 strikeouts, he's got 2,997 and he would be the 20th major leaguer to reach 3,000. He's been pitching great, by the way. Shohei Ohtani homer in the 61 win over the White Sox. He's hit at least 30 home runs in five consecutive seasons. Tied with Aaron Judge for the longest active streak in baseball. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day.

King's Hawaiian wants you to welcome summer remind you that sliders perfect meal for summer and summer grilling season. Go to kings hawaiian.com for your recipe inspiration. Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Joey Chestnut is back over under the record is 76 hot dogs. And will it be broken and how long? I don't know. What's he got? Fifteen minutes.

[Dan Patrick]

Is it 76 hot dogs?

[Marvin]

Yeah. He is an overwhelming favorite to win minus 2000. The second favorite, Patrick Bertoletti, is + 1200. But the record of 76 hot dogs. That's the over. Under. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

Joey Chestnut taking the year off with the hot dog contest was akin to Jordan playing baseball and Houston Rockets stepping in for. Okay, no one's making that count.

[Marvin]

All right, so Joey Chestnut is back. Wimbledon. You know, a lot of the top seeds on the women's side lost early at Wimbledon.

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah, I'm not thrilled about that, by the way. 10 minutes. You have to eat those 10 minutes.

[Marvin]

I. I walked in today and we were talking about something, but, you know, road trip to Tahoe. And the guest list will have at Tahoe for the next week. And Todd blurts out, did you realize a lot of the top seeds have lost at Wimbledon? And I go, what does that have to do with going to Tahoe? Oh, I just didn't know. I said, yeah, I've watched Wimbledon. Now I realize you're going to London. You're going to Wimbledon.

[Todd Fritz]

You realize that now?

[Marvin]

Well, I didn't know you're going to Wimbledon.

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah, we're gonna do two days at Wimbledon on Sunday and Monday, the 6th and 7th.

[Marvin]

Oh, so now you care about Wimbledon.

[Todd Fritz]

Now I care about Wimbledon.

[Marvin]

Okay.

[Todd Fritz]

I always cared about Wimbledon.

[Marvin]

I really care about Wilbur Coco golf. Are you gonna wear all white?

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah, I'm gonna get souvenirs. I'll probably get a nice Wimbledon hat and T shirt and whatever I wear. And then I can always go change into the Wimbledon gear.

[Marvin]

The Mets Yankees Subway series. That's always entertaining. And Both teams are 48 and 37, although it feels like the Yankees are a better 48 and 37 than the Mets. Saturday, the FIBA World Cup. Paris St. Germaine against Bayern Munich. Real Madrid against Dortmund. Yeah, throughout the records. When those guys get together, those are heavyweights right there. That's right. Okay, so that's sliding into the weekend. Brought to you by kings Hawaiian Kings. Hawaiian.com recipe inspiration for you. Our good buddy Jim Jackson is going to join us. Coming up, a few things. Talk to him about, you know, that buyer beware. We hear that a lot. And the Bucks went all in in 2023. They traded a first round draft pick, multiple swaps. And they gave up Drew Holiday to bring in Dame Lillard. So this was a blockbuster deal by NBA standards. Blockbuster deal. It just didn't work out. The Achilles injury. The Bucks have waived him 9 time all star. Be 36 by the time he plays again. The win now and then you deal with the fallout when you don't Win now everybody hope for more there. This was Dame Lillard's chance to, he got out of Portland. Now you're going to play in big games, you're going to be on national TV a lot more and just didn't work out. But you know, he was away from his family and I don't know if he and Giannis ever really clicked. Maybe they didn't play long enough together to click. But he will, he will be a factor I think in the playoffs next year. Dame Lillard, somebody going to pick him up if he's healthy and he just, he's going to provide an impact. I really believe that The Pistons Malik Beasley had, quote, financial issues prior to the gambling investigation. So there's allegations of gambling on NBA games and he was on the verge of signing a three or four, $2 million deal. So they brought in Duncan Robinson basically for around the same money. He's an outside shooter as well, but he owes a lot of money. Former marketing agency, they say that he owes him two and a half million dollars. I couldn't pay back a six hundred fifty thousand dollar loan and maybe turn to gambling on NBA games to get some of that money back. So there's a lot of things going on here. And when the feds are investigating, this is in the NBA, this is the feds. NBA is going to try to distance themselves as best they can. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Sounds like one of those stories when somebody wins the lottery.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And then, you know, five years later they're like, dang, how'd they get so broke?

[Marvin]

Couple of phone calls in here. 877-3-DP show email address dp danpatrick.com Twitter handle DP show not to lecture you while I lecture you, but you know, you have the major sports books, we have DraftKings, there's FanDuel, BET, MGM. And because of them, a lot of these violations get detected or the potential for a scandal. You know, real time monitoring. You have to do this because gambling's not going away. It's more accessible than ever. But you have to have an oversight. You have to have somebody who is going to be watching all of this. And the league's credibility depends on this. I don't know if this gets larger with Malik Beasley. I don't know if other teammates are involved in this. I don't know if you know, anybody on other teams is involved in this. But there's a, there's a, that's potentially a huge problem here because you must know what you're watching is real. We get More phone calls about sports being fixed. It feels like when there's a controversial call, it'll be like, well, they want them to win. They don't like them. It's not fixed. But I do understand where you could, you could jump to that conclusion if you read about this now, how did this affect games? Let's say Malik Beasley was throwing games. You go back and you got to watch. And you know, they're, they're. Now they're watching stretches when he's on the floor and the urgency that he played at. And the betting line, like, just small things, man. And if a betting line is. Is seven and a half, and all of a sudden you're racing to score a basket so you can go up by 8, these are the things that the feds are looking at. They're gonna. They're gonna look at this almost frame by frame to see what he's doing, how often he did it. And then you're going to get a paper trail as well. At some point, it'll go a whole lot deeper. David in Ohio. David, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Happy Meet Wednesday. Nobody.

[Dan Patrick]

With July 4th coming up.

[Marvin]

Didn't know who you fought at the show. Is your Jason Pierre, Paul, with having maybe a fireworks accident or something like that. Okay, all right. I don't know if any of these guys are fireworkers. Todd would definitely not be handling fireworks.

[Todd Fritz]

Having trouble tying my shoe. I'm not playing.

[Marvin]

That is true. I could see Paul maybe, maybe being a fireworker when I was young, I.

[Dan Patrick]

Was big into it, like with the kids in the neighborhood. But, man, I've seen some stuff in the past few years where it goes the wrong way. Someone getting a little loose. I stay away from.

[Marvin]

I don't even like sparklers. Like, I don't. I don't. I'm not entertained by any of it. But then you get people who are all in. Hey, you got to go over this guy's house. He's got fireworks. I go, yeah, you know, how about I watch from a couple blocks away? Yes, we used to.

[Dan Patrick]

I haven't gone in a few years, but we used to always go to Cape Cod with my in laws and my two brother in laws. We would all throw in money and get just a gigantic box of fireworks. You smoke a couple cigars, you light the fireworks. But we would go to this one beach, and there's a dozen families on the beach that all do the same thing at the same time. So you have just a massive fireworks display by all random People, it's awesome.

[Marvin]

Best time all needs, you know, the rogue, you know, whatever they are in.

[Dan Patrick]

That life, though, Dan, A rogue. Whatever it is all of a sudden.

[Marvin]

Yeah, yeah. But I don't want to. I don't want to go where there could be a rogue firework, an M80 or whatever they're, you know. Yeah. A rogue. How about I just don't go there? Yeah. Then I. That. I did decrease the possibilities of getting hit by a rogue M80.

[Todd Fritz]

Yes, Todd, you can drive on the highway or kind of run across the highway, you know, just to get the highway experience. Leave it to the professionals and watch the beauty from a distance.

[Marvin]

Thank you. You don't get that anywhere else.

[Todd Fritz]

You don't.

[Marvin]

Yeah, we're going to bottle that. Nobody's getting that. Logan in Indiana. Hi, Logan. What's on your mind today? Well, I am one of the Pacer.

[Dan Patrick]

Fans that's not a fan of Miles Turner.

[Marvin]

And I feel like the media and.

[Dan Patrick]

The fans are all like, ah, the Pacer screwed this. And I'm like, how can a guy say he's loyal when he's offered $20.

[Marvin]

Million a year to not be the top center in the. I wouldn't even say he's one of.

[Dan Patrick]

The top centers in the NBA.

[Marvin]

I mean, the guy barely could rebound. He. He was a liability in the playoffs.

[Dan Patrick]

And I just feel like all the.

[Marvin]

Pacer fans are absolutely like, oh, how.

[Dan Patrick]

Can we lose this guy? And it's like, it's a business. And he's not holding up his end of the deal. So I just wanted to vent my.

[Marvin]

Frustrations on that and think I'm really mad that he screwed the Pacers because.

[Dan Patrick]

We got no drafts, capital, we got nothing out of a trade, and he.

[Marvin]

Went to our rival. Yeah, I know, I know. But if he's not a loss, then fret. Like, if you don't care about him, then it's not a big deal. Now, do you want something in return, like a sign and trade? Okay. I mean, Miles Turner is. He's a good player. Potential to be a good player. He's not your typical big man. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

He's kind of perpetually frustrating for me. I watch a guy, he's got to be 611, 260, very athletic. He's never averaged more than seven and a half rebounds a game ever. I. Russell Westbrook is a better rebounder.

[Marvin]

Yeah. Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind today?

[Dan Patrick]

Adp. Thanks for take. Yeah, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to give Marv A little more love on that Matilda line.

[Marvin]

That was hilarious. Okay. And Dylan.

[Dan Patrick]

Dylan always looks like that picture of El Chapo when they're pulling him out of that hole.

[Marvin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And I just wanted to ask Fritzi, is he going over there to Wimbledon to watch, or is he gonna play? I mean, he was second up.

[Marvin]

Yeah. You are our resident tennis expert.

[Todd Fritz]

They have that t. Fritz, that Taylor Fritz.

[Marvin]

Yeah. No relation.

[Todd Fritz]

No relation. I think he went five steps the other day. They had to go into the next day because it got late. Over two days. He won in the fifth set. So I'm hoping he'll still be around by the time I get over there to watch him play, but no relation.

[Marvin]

Okay. All right. Yeah. Todd going over to Wimbledon, going over to London. I was a little surprised at that.

[Todd Fritz]

I was on the tennis team barely in high school, so I have a.

[Marvin]

Were you on the tennis team?

[Todd Fritz]

I had a tennis jacket.

[Marvin]

Okay.

[Todd Fritz]

And I won, like, the courage award or whatever kind of community spirit award. There was some kind of spirit award at the dinner. Everyone got their trophies, and the coach called me over because I was cheering every very good while everyone was actually playing.

[Marvin]

That's nice.

[Todd Fritz]

I was there. I went to all the practices. I'm.

[Marvin]

Nice shot.

40, love. Let's go.

[Marvin]

Yeah. One more.

[Todd Fritz]

One more. You'll win the game.

[Marvin]

One of my children won, like, a Spirit Award. We went to, you know, the awards banquet, and they're handing out all of these. The math honors goes to. My kids didn't win any of those things. And then I remember one of my daughters won the Spirit Award, and I went, all right. You know, a friend of ours, their daughter won, like, five of these. And for the best science, the best math, and the best English, and, you know, the same kid ends up going to Dartmouth or Yale. You know, it's like, all right, show off. Hey, my kid has spirit. We got spirit. Yes, we do. We got spirit. How about you? Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

Want to hear something more said? I once won grade school football most improved player. I didn't play the previous season. It was my first year. I had nothing to improve upon.

[Marvin]

Well, you improved from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

[Dan Patrick]

I didn't. Trust me, if you watched, I got most approved player who didn't play before, by the way. Wimbledon etiquette. I'm looking at the London Evening Standard. Technically, no dress code for Wimbledon, but there really is. They say, smart, casual, light colors. Wear nothing dirty.

I'm Covino, that is Rich CNR on FSR. We're usually on from 2 to 4 on the west, 5 to 7 on the east. You could always find our podcast Search Covino and Rich, wherever you stream. And let's say good morning to Danny.

[Paul Pabst]

G. What up, Danny G. Happy Dodger Thursday.

[Jim Jackson]

Hell yeah, dude. Danny G came floating into the studio because he's so pumped about Kershaw. We're going to be talking about that. Perfect on the ones and twos. Good morning. Good to see you, buddy. Hi. But we got a list, Rich, about the All Star game. Pretty pumped to be the only show voted into the All Stars, you know. Thanks. Fox Sports.

[David Gascon]

By our co workers. Number nine.

[Jim Jackson]

Yeah, number nine from our colleagues, but number one from the fans. And we appreciate that.

[David Gascon]

But I'm excited to be in Atlanta.

[Jim Jackson]

But there's a whole list of superstars that are going to be there and we're hoping to get some great interviews. So definitely check that out on the was it 14th, 15th and 16th of this month. Happy Tres de Julio, everybody. We're getting there. It's going to Be a fun weekend. And it starts right now.

[David Gascon]

Before we get into Clayton Kershaw and such a tense moment last night. We're going to talk some NFL today. There's an underrated quarterback that needs his props. Plus, it is fourth of July weekend and we're going to talk about some of those great blockbuster movies over the years that you love. Like, this is like a big movie weekend. It's also a big weekend for drinking and eating.

[Jim Jackson]

But sparklers, man. You got your sparklers ready?

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[David Gascon]

You know how many people.

[Jim Jackson]

Dad, if you don't have your sparklers on standby, you failed, bro. That always has to bust out the sparklers and the bank snaps.

[David Gascon]

Do you know you just added something to my list after work today?

[Marvin]

You gotta get em sparklers.

[Jim Jackson]

I mean, that's the bare minimum.

[David Gascon]

But did you know that every year, 15,000 visits to the emergency room. Firework injuries. So don't be the ass clown that drinks one too many cervezas.

[Jim Jackson]

Bunch of guys named Terry in wheelchairs.

[David Gascon]

Back it up, Terry.

[Jim Jackson]

Back it up, Terry. Put it reverse. Yeah. Keep your fingers intact and we'll talk more about it as the day goes on.

[David Gascon]

I love Back It Up, Terry, but I wanted to start the show just a quick hypothetical that I just witnessed at the coffee shop on the way in. And then we're get to Kershaw. But I got to finesse my way into the show today. Let's wake it up. So go to pick up our coffee and there's an old biddy in front of me.

[Jim Jackson]

Oh, thank you, by the way.

[David Gascon]

Oh, no problem, O man.

[Jim Jackson]

Appreciate it.

[David Gascon]

There's an old bitty in front of me. Her name was probably like Agnes or something. She's up at 5am West coast time. Who's up at 5? Unless you're working early. Old people love to get a start on the day, huh?

[Jim Jackson]

No offense to our buddy Spot who's on the videos, fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.

[David Gascon]

Streaming live as we speak.

[Jim Jackson]

Streaming live. Good morning. And of course, everything at Fox Sports Radio and at covinoenrich. But his mom had a classic old lady name like Phyllis.

[David Gascon]

Oh, the woman in front of me, Phil Phyllis.

[Jim Jackson]

My mom's name is Hortensia, so you can go with that if you want.

[David Gascon]

Vanilla latte for Phyllis. And she's like, oh, sweetheart, is that sugar free for my diabetes? And they're like, oh, sorry, ma'.

[Marvin]

Am.

[David Gascon]

And they went to take the coffee and she goes, what are you gonna do with that? And they were gonna dump it.

[Jim Jackson]

Yeah.

[David Gascon]

And she Goes, I'll give it to my husband.

[Jim Jackson]

He don't care about the diabetes.

[David Gascon]

So the woman gave a look like.

[Jim Jackson]

Okay, was her name Agnes Brimley? Any relation to Wilford, or.

[Seton O'Connor]

No.

[David Gascon]

So, Mrs. Brimley, I gotta ask. When a bartender gets your cocktail wrong or a barista gets your coffee wrong and it's their fault, should they just tell you like, yeah, here, take the other one too?

[Jim Jackson]

Not only that, they should make the offer right. If you're going to tip them for doing nothing half the time. And that's nothing against the barista, because I do believe. I believe baristas and bartenders deserve tips. Yeah, but not everybody. But if people are gonna have the nerve to charge you for every little thing, they could offer the extra as well. The extra meaning their mistake that they made. Or sometimes if you're buying a smoothie, they'll make extras like, hey, give me that extra.

[David Gascon]

Sometimes there'll be extra milk in the.

[Jim Jackson]

Blender and dump it out.

[David Gascon]

Diners got it, right. You ever go to a diner, get a milkshake, and they give you, like the. The metal cup too, because there's extra.

[Jim Jackson]

That's. That's just customer service.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[David Gascon]

So I just want to throw it out there because my. My first instinct was let the old lady get the extra coffee.

[Marvin]

That's just proper edit.

[David Gascon]

So your instinct is to throw it out instead of saying, hey, you can have this one too?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, that's probably corporate, too.

[Jim Jackson]

Not a waste.

[Marvin]

Trouble.

[Seton O'Connor]

Don't throw it out.

[Jim Jackson]

I don't care. Corporate or not. Waste, Wasteful, waste.

[Marvin]

No, it is wasteful. It's just. It's out of their hands.

[Paul Pabst]

Have you ever tried to not be fat? When they give you the option of fries or a salad, you go, salad. And they still accidentally drop off fries. And then you're like, no, I got the salad. And then when you see them taking the fries away from you.

[David Gascon]

Exactly.

[Marvin]

What are you going to do with.

[Paul Pabst]

These fries that are now cold?

[Jim Jackson]

I'll save them for when I feel like being fat.

[Marvin]

Give them to my kid.

[David Gascon]

When I go through Taco Bell and.

[Marvin]

They accidentally give me someone else's order.

[Dan Patrick]

Or, like, double up the tacos inside. I'm not telling them about that.

[Marvin]

I'm just taking.

[Jim Jackson]

You take it. You take it. But you gotta. Yeah, I think in that case, you expect them to give you the extra, not dump it out. That's ridiculous.

[David Gascon]

If it's your bonehead mistake, that might be a little different. But Camino, let's say you. You ordered your typical Steve Covino Tito's and soda. And they give you a Tito's in Sprite and you're like, I think Sprite. Sweet. What, are they going to dump it? You could say, leave it here, someone will drink it.

[Jim Jackson]

Someone in my party here, I'll give it to somebody else. Yeah, I'll take it to go if I can.

[David Gascon]

Yeah. So I get a little kitty cut. I just want to throw it out there because I saw old, old Phyllis, like with a little dilemma, like you're.

[Seton O'Connor]

Going to dump it.

[Jim Jackson]

Especially in a way where wastefuls fr. Especially in today's world. That's just so careless, in my opinion. So make the best of it and let someone enjoy it. Absolutely. I think, I think Phyllis here, what's her name? Barbara. What's her name?

[David Gascon]

The Agnes.

[Marvin]

Eleanor.

[Jim Jackson]

I think the old lady in this story was absolutely right. Take it, bring it home. Don't charge the old lady. Give it to her old husband. Let him have diabetes.

[David Gascon]

Can I tell you the funniest part of all the names we just mentioned? If you're a young mom or dad, those names are all coming back. And the names from our childhood, like Jennifer, Nicole, Stephanie, those are going to be the old lady names at some point. Because all those old lady names are the top little girl baby names speak for your name.

[Jim Jackson]

Because the name speak for yourself, I should say, because the name Steve's coming.

[Seton O'Connor]

Back.

[Jim Jackson]

Thanks to Minecraft. Steve's Hot Lava chicken, whatever it is.

[David Gascon]

Your old guy named Steve having a moment in 2025.

[Jim Jackson]

Steve's on a comeback. All right, now, what about the name Clayton?

[David Gascon]

Oh, I'm sorry. As the announcer said last night in dramatic fashion, Clayton Edward Kershaw. I was like, all right, a bit dramatic, but hey, a very stressful, awesome moment last night in Major League baseball.

[Dan Patrick]

The ravine rises, ready to erupt.

[Marvin]

3K for Kershaw.

[David Gascon]

Got him.

[Jim Jackson]

Got him.

[Marvin]

Gotta let it breathe.

[David Gascon]

Beautiful.

[Jim Jackson]

You know how many vato tears were shed last night? Oh, my God.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Jim Jackson]

You know how many hard ass vatos were there?

[Seton O'Connor]

Like, I'm feeling a little emotional right now.

[David Gascon]

That's my guy, that's my guy.

[Jim Jackson]

It's Fernando. Then Clayton Edwards. So last night, beautiful moment was cool.

[Paul Pabst]

To see his family in attendance.

[Jim Jackson]

So cool.

[David Gascon]

Danny, I gotta give you my first observation as a Mets fan living on the west coast watching that Dodgers moment. Props to not only the Dodgers, but Major League Baseball. And Camino already alluded to it. Letting the moment breathe because so many times these awesome milestones are rushed along. And I remember when the clock was first Put in baseball a couple of years ago, the pitch clock. Remember, there were some players that were reunions in their hometown and they're like, pitch violation. Because they were so rigid about it, so anal about it. I love that last night there was no rushing, there was, hey, this is a guy that played for one team, 3,000 strikeouts, fourth to ever do that. And the reality is that it may never happen again. Because I'm thinking of the young cats, like a skeens or schoolboy. And I'm like, you think they're gonna be on one team their whole career?

[Dan Patrick]

That would be unlikely.

[Jim Jackson]

Speaking of skiings and some of the big dogs today, it's going to take a lot. It's going to get to 3,000 to get there. And that might be the last time, one of the last times that we ever see that in our lifetime, making it extra special. And there's so many layers to what we saw last night and so many things that probably ran through your brain that we're going to touch on them all throughout the day. But the first thing that I think of, aside from man, one team, 18.

[David Gascon]

Plus years, and just do the math based on how guys go, what, five or six, usually. Now you'd have to, I know this is simple Math, but for 15 years you'd have to average 200 strikeouts and 200 strikeouts. Not. Not what it was in the 80s or 90s when we were growing up, because, you know, guys were throwing 3, 350 strikeouts back in the day. The Nolan Ryan's of the world. But now the league leader every year is in the 200. So you'd have to average 200 strikeouts for 15 seasons. So 3,000 strikeouts is becoming increasingly difficult.

[Jim Jackson]

My first question, based on history being made in that moment, was, did he have to do it there? Which made it even more intensified, more amazing, more exciting because.

[David Gascon]

Are you kidding?

[Jim Jackson]

Dave Roberts had said that he was going to manage differently, unconventionally, because fans were there just for that moment. Just for that moment. And it was a big moment. It was a game at home. Situations were perfect, it was all lined up. But man, Kershaw was pushing him to the limit. Approaching a hundred pitches. You don't want to extend the guy. He hadn't done it in years. Was he going out again? I think absolutely not. So did he have to do it in that moment? And does everybody know the name of the guy he struck out? No, because we're all wrapped up in the man. You see what happened to Muncie, but man, Kershawn Freeman, Whoa. Kershaw. Dude, Kershaw struck out Vinnie Capra. Vinnie Capra got him looking. Yeah. Which was Beautiful for his 3,000th career strikeout in the sixth inning yesterday. The 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,000 strikeouts and again the fourth to do it all on one team. But question one, did he have to do it there? Do you think he would have went out one more time? Being that the whole crowd was there, he needed just one more. He got it the last out in.

[David Gascon]

The inning to prove how rare it is, by the way.

[Jim Jackson]

Yeah.

[David Gascon]

Over the last 10 years in major League Baseball, Chris Sale did it twice and your boy Garrett Cole did it one time, meaning hit 300 strikeouts. So it is like what he's done is, you know, more remarkable when you think of it that way. To answer your question, number one, I almost felt bad because the last thing I said on our show yesterday here on Fox Sports Radio, I said, yo, Danny, wouldn't it be funny if he was stuck at two strikeouts?

[Paul Pabst]

And I told you, don't you dare put that out there in the universe.

[David Gascon]

And Danny hits me up and goes, turn on the Dodgers game, you idiot. He stuck at two strikeouts. And all I kept thinking was Dave Roberts, who is a World Series champion as a player and a manager, World.

[Jim Jackson]

Series hero at the Red Sox.

[David Gascon]

And here's a guy who gets criticized a lot for being such a big winner. He is put in such a scenario here where I'm thinking, he can't pull him no matter what.

[Jim Jackson]

That crowd had to.

[David Gascon]

Absolutely 50,000 people there.

[Jim Jackson]

How do you spend them? How much can you possibly. We extend him in that moment?

[David Gascon]

I think you had to keep going. You really did.

[Jim Jackson]

It feels the longer you do that, it starts feeling forced. Yeah, but the fans were there. I mean, I'm not a Dodgers fan, but I'm a baseball fan. I'm a fan of greatness. And everybody wants to see this happen. I had the nervous farts watching. I'm like, dude, he's got to get it now or it's not happening tonight. It does ruins the moment.

[David Gascon]

It doesn't matter now.

[Jim Jackson]

I don't think he was going out again.

[David Gascon]

It doesn't matter now because it happened. But I was actually talking to my wife and my mother in law's in town for the, for the holiday, watching the kids. I was saying, I was describing, describing this scenario to them. I'm like, all right, so he's at home, 50,000 people while it's happening. And I said, what if he doesn't do it? My wife's like, well, would they sit him until they were back at Dodger Stadium? And I go, I wonder if they would have.

[Jim Jackson]

Like, I don't think so.

[Seton O'Connor]

But hold on.

[Jim Jackson]

Think about this.

[David Gascon]

Would you have skipped a start just to get him back at the stadium?

[Jim Jackson]

Man, I don't think so, do you?

[Paul Pabst]

It's too contrived. They wouldn't have done that.

[Jim Jackson]

I never really seen it that forced before. It's very special. I agree. But imagine you're a fan and you're there on a weeknight to watch this and you're so close like because you.

[David Gascon]

Want to be part of it too.

[Jim Jackson]

I know that's a selfish way to think. It's Kershaw's moment, but you want to be able to be that Dodger fan to say I was there for that. But you're one strike got away and you weren't. So you're like, as a fan, you want it for him, you want it.

[Seton O'Connor]

For you, you want it for the.

[Jim Jackson]

Bragging rights to be part of history. It's all these things he had to do it there which made it more incredible and more amazing. Like that he actually pulled it off.

[Marvin]

No.

[David Gascon]

No offense to our friends and affiliate up in Millie Walke, but do you think his next star, which is likely. I'm looking at the schedule in Milwaukee against the Brewers. Is that where he wanted to do it? I mean I love that's a great ballpark, great fan base. But he had to do it last night. I don't care if he hit 100 pitches. Dave Roberts had a call like the all time like old school audible like, yo, kid, you want to out there, keep going, you're not going to pull. Clayton Kershaw stuck on two strikeouts.

[Jim Jackson]

I think he was already pushing it at that point.

[Paul Pabst]

He already extended him an inning.

[Jim Jackson]

Yeah, dude. Already overextended, dude.

[David Gascon]

His kid was had a Dad 3000 strikeout shirt on standby.

[Jim Jackson]

It had to be done then and he did it. And again, something I'll touch on later on also makes you show how difficult a strikeout is when you need one. Right? Because I was like, dude, come on, cuz. It could be a pop up, could be a grab out, it could be anything. Yeah, right? Or he just keeps getting hit because you could see they started making contact too against them was the first time.

[Paul Pabst]

I heard the Dodger crowd ever boo when somebody was put out from a grounder. Yeah, that's not the way we want to go.

[David Gascon]

I know, but that was wild, man.

[Jim Jackson]

To state the obvious. And I mean that. Because I really want you to think about it. Think about the difference between doing it in front of 50,000 of your hometown fans, where it means so much, not only to you in the city, but to every fan there, versus doing it in Milwaukee where no one really cares.

[David Gascon]

They don't deserve that. 50,000 people wanted to be able to, from now on, say, I was there When Kershaw hit 3,000, he gave a gift to 50,000 fans. I mean, the electricity, the curtain call. Waving and blowing kisses at his kids and family. Like you said, vato, tears were shed.

[Jim Jackson]

Tears. It was a great moment. Vatos in L. A only have 96 teardrops, I heard. And they wasted a bunch of them last night.

[David Gascon]

Yo, is it safe to say my guy? Is it?

[Dan Patrick]

That's my guy.

[David Gascon]

Is it safe to say that baseball really handled it perfectly? Let me go back to that. Because I am okay with, hey, guy hits 50,000 yards in the NFL, they stop the game. I don't know. Peyton Manning gets to hold up the ball. And do I. I'm okay with those moments. I'm okay with the Ricky, rest in peace steals his base. They take a moment so he can hold up the bag. I don't think any player is objecting to that.

[Dan Patrick]

Right?

[David Gascon]

You think there's anyone. You think there's anyone that's like, let's move this along.

[Jim Jackson]

That's what the game's about. These are special moments. These are milestones. These aren't things you see every day. So, yeah, they did the right thing by letting it breathe. Let the fans enjoy it. That's why they go to the games. And you've watched this guy's whole career pan out from he was a young man to an older man as a single guy to a married guy with kids, you know, as a young, spry, handsome looking dude, to like a guy who's sort of hobbling out there trying to throw a 37 year old, a.

[David Gascon]

Feared young, Psy young award winner to a, like, you're right, a hobbling, crafty veteran who is now, you know, kept. Kept the 0 in the L column. Thanks to Freddy, who made that a perfect night for the Dodgers fans. Right?

[Jim Jackson]

Perfect night. It's kind of gross that the Dodgers had such a perfect.

[David Gascon]

Which is why it's gonna be perfect when the Mets beat him in seven in the playoffs.

[Jim Jackson]

We'll see about that. So we'll take your observations at 877-99-FOX. And again, there's several layers to the story. We're gonna touch on it throughout the show throughout the day. Covino, enriching for Dan Patrick. But Danny G. Any other final observations you want to touch on? Like what were you doing in that moment? Did you shed a vato tear?

[Marvin]

Maybe?

[Jim Jackson]

These are all questions that need to be answered.

[Paul Pabst]

I mean, Clay Kershaw has been. Clayton has been one of the favorite players of Dodger fans for years now.

[Marvin]

So.

[Paul Pabst]

And of course to see him come back from a couple of big time injuries and still be with the team. And I think it's Rich who every time the Dodgers give him a one year contract, Rich is like, or maybe you Cove, that's the best deal in baseball.

[David Gascon]

Because he wanted. He got the hometown discount. He stayed. And I thought it was always the best move.

[Jim Jackson]

Honestly, it was beautiful.

[Paul Pabst]

You mentioned what a moment for everybody in attendance. How about all the families and Dodger fans across the country? And I'm sorry if you're a Dodger hater, I get that too. But because, Cove, I'm about to bring up a bad memory for you. The World Series against your Yankees. That was the last time my family was all gathered together in the living room watching a Dodgers game so closely last night. The whole family just glued to every moment of that game on the tv and it was emotional. As you know, lifelong Dodger fans, you don't get moments like that too often.

[Jim Jackson]

You got to step out of the seat, right? Like you got, you're standing up. I would imagine at some point. I stood up just here in the replay just now. So amazing.

[David Gascon]

I thought the inning before when he struck out the last batter also was pretty, you know, like you saw when he was walking up the mound and everyone.

[Paul Pabst]

And then we haven't even really touched on. I know it was against the White Sox. I know. But we haven't touched on the fact that Freddie Freeman waits to rope one there for the walk off. So what a night. And it has just been a beautiful season so far for the Dodgers.

[Jim Jackson]

How do you think the Capra family feels today?

[Seton O'Connor]

You had to be the guy.

[Jim Jackson]

Way to disrespect the family name.

[David Gascon]

You know, I've always, you and I have joked about this, that listen, again.

[Jim Jackson]

Vinnie Capra is the guy that struck out.

[David Gascon]

There's dumb misconceptions in sports. Like we're saying how he wanted to do it at home. You know how we sometimes does a team want to lose on the road so they could clinch at home. No one wants to lose. And I get it in sports you want to get the win when you can, but we see it in sports all the time. When you win a championship on the road, it's just not the same. And if he would have done that on the road, oh, it wouldn't have been the same.

[Marvin]

Right.

[Jim Jackson]

It would have been a waste.

[Paul Pabst]

I think what made me emotional was watching his kids react to it because now that I'm a new dad for the first time, I have a little one of my own. And I hope that someday he gets to watch, you know, me helping your show blow up and do big things. Yeah. Seeing your dad accomplish something like that, that is so cool.

[Jim Jackson]

Danny G. Did you pick up your overly sized little boy and point at the TV and they called him and.

[Paul Pabst]

Like he was too busy running around with not one but two wiffle ball bats and he was hitting all of us in our kneecaps with the baseball.

[Jim Jackson]

Bats, doing my bam bam running around in his diaper.

[David Gascon]

I did notice one thing that I was like, oh, that's who you went with, huh kid? One of his kids was wearing that weak ass city connectors that you guys have.

[Jim Jackson]

Really?

[Seton O'Connor]

Yeah.

[David Gascon]

And I remember being like, okay, I.

[Jim Jackson]

Thought that was cool. Hey, kids will wear whatever.

We are going to have you covered all the way up until noon Eastern Time, 9am Pacific here on this Fourth of July. So I hope everybody is safe out there. People aren't Even waiting until 4th of July these days to light off fireworks. I mean, they were all over the place in our neighborhood.

[David Gascon]

I don't know.

[Marvin]

Were they really?

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Seton O'Connor]

I was sleep bruh.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm assuming they were fireworks. But our neighbors, maybe not.

[Seton O'Connor]

Maybe it was a house.

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe just like every year, we're like, are people not gonna get it? You're not a pyro expert. Okay. And when you light a fuse and it starts to creep up towards the firework that's about to explode, it's a roll the dice. And you just got to hope that it doesn't tilt over or wind doesn't knock it over and then it's pointed right at you. But it just feels like a less than ideal proposition to, to want to partake in.

[Seton O'Connor]

So I'm not a chest thumper on things, but I have never, ever touched a firework. Ever lit one and, and set one off. Never done it. Not in my entire life.

[Dan Patrick]

Not proud of it.

[Seton O'Connor]

But yeah, I have, I've never smoked a cigarette and I've never. And I have never. I have never set off a firework.

[Marvin]

Yep. No.

[Dan Patrick]

No cigarette for me. But they used to do these, like, you light them and they would spin around on the ground like these little fireworks spinners. I remember we had a dog that used to go and try and eat them.

[Seton O'Connor]

Yeah. While they were on, I used a little, you know, the little dips that, that you, they were wrapped in the little white paper and you Throw them.

[Marvin]

Oh, yeah.

[Seton O'Connor]

And I've done that. It's about it.

[Dan Patrick]

Those are fun to throw at people, right? But yeah, like, this dog would see a firework, spitting on the ground and go try and eat it. And then everyone's like, God, dogs are so smart. Yeah, that's smart. Dog's a moron. No wonder he didn't make it past eight.

[Seton O'Connor]

Technically, the dog is trying to save you. His, you know, the people he loves. So he's trying to get it and get it out of the way. It's you that the dog is sitting there like these dumb mother efforts. I gotta go get this joint before it blows up everybody. So let me be the one that. That takes it for the team. To me, that's. That's kind of the lineup thinking when.

[Dan Patrick]

I throw my dog a rib bone.

[David Gascon]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

It's not lit on fire and spinning around in the circle. Dog's a.

[Seton O'Connor]

He's not going to eat it. Did he eat it?

[Dan Patrick]

He tried to.

[Seton O'Connor]

No.

[Marvin]

Yes.

[Seton O'Connor]

He'd bite it, walk it off away from the people, let it down, and then be done with it with a burnt mouth.

[Dan Patrick]

Cute. Shoot.

[Seton O'Connor]

Because you. Because you were not a considerate dog owner. And your dog knew that he was doing his duty or her duty. And you set her. You set it up. You set the dog up.

[Dan Patrick]

That dog's an idiot.

[Marvin]

So.

[Dan Patrick]

And I hope, hope everybody.

[Seton O'Connor]

Silly ass dog.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seton O'Connor]

I don't pet that dough. I'm gonna pet that dough. I'm gonna pet that doubt.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, so we are brought to you by Mako. Most cars on the road could use a little tlc. At Mako, we bring your car back to life with affordable paint jobs and light collision repairs. Estimate today. Oh, better get makeup. Oh, so dang, here we go again.

[Seton O'Connor]

So reads when we on this show.

[Dan Patrick]

Here we go. Here we go.

[Seton O'Connor]

I don't want to go back.

[Jim Jackson]

You hear me?

[David Gascon]

I'm never going back.

[Dan Patrick]

Your guy, Lavara, demora Smith, the former NFLPA executive director, he's got a book coming out called Turf Wars.

[Jim Jackson]

All right.

[Marvin]

Battle of the Lips.

[Dan Patrick]

So the first. That was Lamar.

[Seton O'Connor]

That was John Gruden. I'm only quoting what John Grooton said.

[Marvin]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Ha.

[Seton O'Connor]

I only quote what John Gruden.

[Dan Patrick]

But DeMora Smith has a new book out called Turf wars, and of course he does. Well, there's a couple of interesting little tidbits from this book that have already been released because this book is set to come out in August, I believe.

[Seton O'Connor]

I mean, you gotta release the interesting tidbits to sell the Book.

[Jim Jackson]

Right.

[Marvin]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

And, and who would you. Who would you say if you were trying to sell a book? Who would be the first name you'd want to.

[Seton O'Connor]

First name if I'm the Morris Smith and I want to sell a book would be Roger Goodell.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm talking about a player. If there was a player in the NFL that you knew would get some headlines.

[Seton O'Connor]

Ah, if it was a player, I'm either. I'm going with a quarterback. And, and I mean the most you. I could say the easy decision would be Tom Brady because that was during Tom Brady's time. You could throw Peyton Manning out there. But the, the media lightning rod has been Aaron Rodgers.

[Dan Patrick]

That is correct. That is correct. Aaron Rodgers featured first in one of these little.

[Seton O'Connor]

What'd he say?

[Dan Patrick]

From demor Smith's book. Quote, the God of Cheesehead nation was isolated and dismissive. Smith writes regarding Rogers demeanor during a player meeting. He sat in the back row of the meeting room issuing loud size before standing for a dramatic exit. An incredible quarterback, to be sure, but an even more impressive antagonist. Smith also says this about Rogers. Quote, In August 2021, my phone chirped with a text from Aaron. Roger Rogers, can you call me at Red? Could I not run into traffic? Instead that from Demor Smith talking about Aaron Rodgers. And I see that.

[Seton O'Connor]

So he doesn't, he doesn't have any love for Aaron Rodgers.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I see that and I go, so this is the NFLPA executive director, one of. And one of one of your star players. And then you've got J.C. treader, who reportedly threw Russell Wilson under the bus in discussing Russell Wilson's contract negotiations as that came out as part of the collusion, evidence and testimony that was discovered a couple weeks ago. And they wonder why they lose every negotiation to the owners because the NFLPA can't even get it together amongst themselves. You got the executive director getting a call from one of the stars of the league saying, can I walk into traffic instead?

[Seton O'Connor]

That's crazy. And as you're leading the players. Yes, yes, it's crazy, man.

[Dan Patrick]

JC Treader, part of the NFL PA and calls Russell Wilson the rhymes with wussy. Reportedly when the discussions of the negotiations about Russell Wilson's attempt to get a guaranteed contract done from Denver came this like, this is why you lose every time to the owners because they're not on the same page. Nobody's on the same page.

[Seton O'Connor]

It's a lot of moving parts when you, you have, you know, associations and unions and stuff like that. I mean, no one is going to get what they want. I find it more interesting that he chose to singularly pinpoint one person in particular and chose to use that as, as a leaked line or a promoted line to go read his book. That doesn't make me want to read his book anymore. That doesn't make the Morris Smith a more interesting figure to want to learn or read about. I don't. I mean, again, you're, you're, you're saying what the conclusion already is. So you're basically putting a book out there that talks about how you failed the players. Is that what it's about? Maybe that should be the title. If you put out a title, I failed the Players when I let the nflpa. If you want to put that narrative out there, people probably read it because they're going to want to know why.

[Dan Patrick]

I, I can remember Mark Schlerith. This was back in, I think it was 2017. DeMora Smith was sort of like making the rounds, telling everybody that there was going to be some changes, things were going to be different in the new CBA and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I remember Mark Schler just basically saying something along the lines of, yeah, okay, what's, what are you going to get for the players? Less padded practices. Like, what are you, what are you going to get for the players? Because they've been hearing this song and dance for years. And the reason why Rogers was pissed is because he was one of the guys that was standing up and pounding the table saying, dude, this deal doesn't work for us. We're getting the shaft in this deal. And you've got the guy who's supposed to be the executive director of the NFLPA who was making the rounds years in advance, telling everybody how they were going to do the right thing for the players. And a guy's calling you about things and wanting to have conversations and you're eye rolling him like what?

[Todd Fritz]

Like this.

[Dan Patrick]

Are you supposed to be on the same side?

[Marvin]

And that.

[Dan Patrick]

That was part he. And then he talked about the collusion as well, too. This from Demor Smith's book Turf wars, which, which Savar would like to have edited. Yeah, I failed the players.

[Seton O'Connor]

There you go.

[Jim Jackson]

Turf wars.

[Dan Patrick]

The story about the story of how I failed the players.

[Seton O'Connor]

Yeah, that's so generic. Turf wars.

[Dan Patrick]

The story about I failed you.

[Seton O'Connor]

Players talk about driving an unnecessary narrative home.

[Marvin]

The hell?

[Seton O'Connor]

Come on, demorce, do you do know you are a black man, right? You can't just be throwing stuff loosely out there like that. You got to be a little bit more strategic.

[Dan Patrick]

What Would you recommend?

[Seton O'Connor]

People love misdiagnosing things that. That are put out there. No, he's not a gang banger that I know of. He's not talking about Southeast.

[Dan Patrick]

He's doing a signing in Compton.

[Marvin]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Up on Tuesday.

[Seton O'Connor]

He ain't throwing up the rolling 60s side. I don't turf wars. The f you talking about.

[David Gascon]

Y' all got a problem here?

[Seton O'Connor]

We got problem.

[Dan Patrick]

What you got problem?

[Seton O'Connor]

I'm from Chrisan mafia. Hey, man, turf wars. I seen you in no battles, my G. All I'm saying is like, bro, make it make sense. If you want people to read your book, make it make sense. I've had one. I had one exchange with. With the Morris. I thought he was. He was a fine dude to talk to, you know, good hearted guy, super smart, super intelligent dude. But I thought he was in over his head.

[Dan Patrick]

The. The official title here. Yeah, Turf wars. The fight for the soul of America's game.

[Seton O'Connor]

Yeah, that's a little dramatic, man. Yeah, that's a tad bit dramatic. So TR a bit dramatic.

[Dan Patrick]

Now on the occlusion case, this quote came out from Demor Smith in his book, there were people inside our building. Again, the former NFLPA executive director. There were people inside our building who thought it was a waste of time. But internally, our office had evidence of collusion, including hearing from multiple sources that the league and teams were discussing their avoidance of fully guaranteed contracts. Sweet. It's nice to know that people inside the NFLPA building thought it was a waste of time. This is, am I crazy? This just makes it look even worse.

[Seton O'Connor]

Now if you're just, you know, you know what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say this because I think that this is a widely spread corporate type of. It could be prevalent amongst. Amongst businesses. You build a company, the company has employees. Employee culture is employee culture. Company culture is company culture. When you get those employees and they make the amount of money that they make, generally speaking, very few people make a tremendously amount of a lot of money and what it is that they do, and some do make really good living. Regardless, if you're one that doesn't make that much money, you're probably working and hoping that your consistency, your availability and your cooperation is going to lead to you making more. You elevate. If you're already elevated, you don't want to lose that space. So more often than not, like one thing that I experienced, and I understand it as an older person that does business from the business side of things, not from the talent side or the employee side. Of it is that in some cultures and this existed in the nflpa, may still exist in the nflpa. When you hear somebody say it's a waste of time, the reason why it's a waste of time is not because you can't push to get the things done that you want to get done, get the things accomplished that you want to get accomplished. It's that no one is willing to stick their neck out to do it. Who's going to be the one if it doesn't go through or it doesn't work? It's something, there's fallout from it. Who's going to be the one that pays, pays the price for it. So when they see. When I hear somebody say this is a waste of time to be here, it's because the people that need to step up and be the catalyst for it probably won't. The people who delegate it, that should have been the catalyst of stepping up to do it, that delegated to somebody else to do it. They like, why the hell I'm gonna do it it? Why would I do it? Why would you want me to put myself into the situation and try to push this forward where that's not in my pay grade and if I do it and something goes wrong, I'm going to lose my job. More often than not, you'll find people, some people just don't even address it at all. Like, ah, I, I'll get to that next week. Then you get to next week, something else comes up, I get to that next week. The corporate culture that I saw at the NFLPA is just a lot of like lip service, man.

[Marvin]

Man.

[Seton O'Connor]

There are very few dudes like Nolan, Nolan Harrison, good dude. If he says he's going to do something, he's going to do that. My man.

[Marvin]

Carl. Carl. Carl.

[Seton O'Connor]

What's Carl's dang, I'm blanking on Carl's last name.

[Dan Patrick]

Carl Lewis.

[Seton O'Connor]

No, not Carl Lewis.

[Dan Patrick]

Carl.

[Marvin]

Carl. Carl. Carl.

[Seton O'Connor]

Come on. Carl Francis. Carl Carl Francis. A long time dude at the nflpa. If he says he's going to do it, he's going to do it it. If you don't talk to competent people about the things that, that matter to you as a player, chances are you are getting the salesperson's pitch which is manage expectation, right under promise with the chances, the possibility, although slight, the possibility that you will deliver, you will over deliver, manage expectations. And that's what the NFLPA has always, to me, that's what it's always represented. Manage the expectation of the players. Make sure that you because, because here's the thing. Yes. Why you have to have it. By law, they represent the player. They're going to have a job. But it's not necessary for you to be here to have the job. You are replaceable, you are expendable. And so knowing that the job security that you have is based upon trying to make everybody around you happy with doing the, the least of what you can do, because that's not going to ruffle any feathers or shake any boats, anything like that. It is a very, very hard line to walk, especially if you are top of the people that are the decision makers for that union. So to me, me, it's, it's like all lip service to me to begin with. If I were to read his book, I'd be like, bro, he's, he's just sugarcoat and everything. It's a sugar coating of it. Because if you were to really get into the deep down guts and the bowels of what this stuff has really been and, and truly has been exchanged conversation wise, you'd end up like Gruden. You would end up like Gruden.

[Dan Patrick]

Now, the New York Post did identify a couple of other quotes from Demor Smith's book on Roger Goodell. Demora Smith called Roger Goodell a cold, dark void. That sounds like my ex, to be honest with you, but again, that's, that's DeMora Smith's book. I'm not here to write his book and I'm not here to edit his book. But that is Demora Smith calling Roger cold, dark Boyd.

[Seton O'Connor]

I gotta make sure I call out Andre Collins too, by the way, a longtime NFLPA representative within. There are some really, really, really fine gu that are in there. There are some really, really fine people that, that are smart, that are able, are willing. And I've never seen any one of them elevated to being the one that calls the shots. It's kind of weird. Like all the great names that I can think of that are part of the NFLPA have been a part of the nflpa. None of them have ever. Troy Vincent was a part of NFLPA before he transitioned over to the NFL. I'm never seeing one of our most competent players that really, really believed in the, you know, helping and assisting our, our players, progressing them and pushing them forward. I've never really seen Gene Upshaw. Gene Upshaw. And he did a fairly good job. I won't, I don't have too much bad to say. He's, he made some mistakes. He did, he did some things that left the, you Know people to be desired. But Gene Upshaw got an opportunity. I don't see that happen very often. You don't see like, where did the Morris Smith even come from? I don't even know. I mean, if you look it up, I mean, I'm sure it tells you the whole process, you know, all that stuff. But where did he even come from?

[Dan Patrick]

Man, let's guess. I'll say Salt Lake City.

[Seton O'Connor]

You know, he was a lawyer. I mean, he lived in D.C. i mean, I'm. I'm gonna assume he's a lawyer. A powerful lawyer from some type of, of, of, you know, law firm. Boom, boom, boom. He understands labor laws really well and all that stuff. My whole thing is get, get experts that understand labor laws. Get, get. Why not follow the lead of other, other sports, the NBA, their union be kicking ass. Why not find those people, find those experts, figure out how to take the same type of approach and let players run the unions, Let qualified players run these unions.

[Dan Patrick]

Lee Demora Smith, is he a parts unknown guy like the old professional wrestling origin?

[Marvin]

Well, a little bit on his background. Born and raised in Washington D.C. he used to be a litigation lawyer, trial lawyer and litigation partner for the U.S. attorney's office.

[Dan Patrick]

Probably not a great win loss record there.

[Seton O'Connor]

I would have thought he would have been like, you know, a labor.

[Marvin]

A labor lawyer.

[Dan Patrick]

But now Demor. Smith said this about Jerry Jones. It's actually pretty funny. He said, if Jerry Jones saw a dollar bill on the ground, I truly believe he'd stop and pick it up according to. Which is actually pretty funny.

[Jim Jackson]

Why?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, because I can relate to that.

[Seton O'Connor]

I was about to say, if you saw a dollar on the ground, you wouldn't pick it up 100%. All right, you know what's crazy? If I see a quarter on the ground, if I see a penny on the ground, picking it. My dad, my mom taught me the value of a dollar. And, and my one thing that my. I used to tell my mom and dad, I'm like, I'm going to be a millionaire one day. I'm going to be a millionaire one day. My dad be like, make a dollar. Make a dollar. Hey buddy, make a dollar. It's great to have big dreams. Make a dollar. I took that to the bare minimum. If I see a penny on the ground, you know how many pennies, like there has to be a penny in every million dollars you make? $20 million. Jerry Jones is worth a billion dollars. You got to start with a penny before you get to that billion.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, my wife gave me A hard time because we were getting. We were at the car wash and they had one of those fountains where you throw a penny into the fountain. And I, I put a snorkel on my son and fed him into the fountain to go get it change. And she's like, what are you doing? I was like, what do you mean? These are for Easter eggs. I'm coming out of pocket for that.

[Seton O'Connor]

I mean, I don't know about all that. I think that's a little extreme. I'm not going co sign you on that. It's a little extreme.

[Dan Patrick]

Just an idea for people who are looking to make a few.

[Seton O'Connor]

Feel bad for Drew, man.

[Marvin]

Me too.

[Seton O'Connor]

How did he do?

[Dan Patrick]

He got like a $18.

[David Gascon]

That's great.

[Seton O'Connor]

How long was he under the water? Was, was he. Was he splashing? Was he s like, how did he do?

[Dan Patrick]

He's 4 and he doesn't know how to swim. So that was a little dicey.

[Seton O'Connor]

Trying to know how to hold his water. He know how to hold his breath.

[Dan Patrick]

I just kept, I kept reassuring him like, hey, if you get at least a dollar, the Loch Ness monster is not coming, so.

[Seton O'Connor]

So hopefully you cold blooded, bro.

[Dan Patrick]

Everything works out. All right, well, listen, it is the Dan Patrick show here on Fox Sports Radio. Lavar Arrington, Jonas Knox in for DP and the guys on this edition of Black and Dra.
