We're gonna play the who's More hall of Famey game coming up. It's a new game. We'll have that for you two candidates. Who's More hall of Famey stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. I just had a popsicle. I don't know. When's the last time you had a popsicle? Very underrated. I saw it in the freezer. Great Popsicle. And I go, yeah, yeah. Tasted great. Now we also have some drumsticks in there. The ice cream. I thought about that as well. Popsicle, drumstick. Summertime. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. Todd, I'm surprised you didn't see the popsicles of the drumsticks there in the freezer. I have not. And I don't know if it's going to last more than about 20, 25 minutes. Once we go to break. I'm could be sticking my nose in there. Would you like to have a drumstick or a Popsicle? I have to choose between one or the other. Well, you don't have to. I'm just saying if I have one of those, I would lean towards the drumstick. Sounds like there's more substance to that. Okay. Sucking on the ice pop. Yes. Yes. Paul, you had this situation last year with the Nestle Quick up in Maine. Yeah, Strawberry. Yeah, Strawberry Quick. Luxury item. There's some foods and drinks that we have as kids that we just kind of give up on because I guess you grow up, but I don't know. Do you ever grow out of certain things? I've never given up on. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Yes. I'm wire to wire. Like those. What? Uncrustables. They're great, but even just making one at home, I'll pop one in my bag and Nick, you can throw them in the toaster. You're ready to go. PB and J. Never goes out of style. Yes. Yes, Marvin. I feel that way about Vienna sausages. Really? Oh, yes. Absolutely. Right out of the. Can I warm them up for about 15 seconds? Get some mustard. I'm all set. Okay. They're the PB and J of sausages. Yeah. All right. What's the poll question for the final hour? Yeah, I know. It's. It's a. Just a random thought. Let me stick with it. I. I just had a Popsicle and it was good. Yeah, Paul, I had about a month ago, one of those push ups there. It's like a orange sherbet. Yeah, that was my go to. Okay. I hadn't seen those in decades. Oh, what was that drink that, like, friendlies used to make? The furble? No, not a fribble. It was like a cooler or something. Like an orange cooler or something. It was kind of like the milkshake version of what Paul just described. Holy smokes. Was that good? Yeah, those are the good old days, you know? Here's another one. The good old days. As you get older, and then you want your kids to watch a movie that you watched, and all of a sudden there's references in there where you have to stop the movie to explain what that reference is. You know, like vcr. Huh? What's that? A floppy disk. What's that? We kind of. We watch the movie and then, like, Ferris Bueller's day off, my kids go, this movie sucks. And I go, why? They go, ferris Bueller's a bad guy. I go, oh, okay. I thought he was just kind of creative. Ingenious. Yes. That happens a lot, actually. When I will watch movies with our son, I'll be like, oh, my God, you're gonna love this. This dude is hilarious. And watch it back. And you're like, wow, it turns out he was just a real jerk the whole time. Why did we think that was so funny? And my son will be like, who am I rooting for in this? Yeah. Like, because the. The guy that you just said is awesome, turns out is a real idiot. And I never thought that. I thought, man, good for Ferris. You know, he's getting away with all of this stuff. And then when you watch it with your kids and they're like, he's a bad guy, I go, yeah, he's not a good friend at all. He's not a good friend at all. No. Yes, Marvin. See, took the words out of my mouth. I don't know if he was a bad person, but he was a terrible friend. Oh, I completely disagree with this premise. Ferris is trying surprising. Yeah, I was the Ferris Bueller. Yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. On brown, on brand. I am The Ferris Bueller of my neighborhood. Ferris was trying to motivate his friend to get out of his doldrums. Cam. Yeah, Cam. Out of his doldrum life. And by taking chances and pushing the envelope on behalf of his friend. He's a hero. Yes, Todd. But he's taking his already nervous and kind of psychologically messed up friend and convincing him to, like, ends up destroying his dad's, you know, very expensive. So, Paul, you're. The thought is you like the guy who's trying to force someone else to be more like them rather than just allowing them to be themselves. Exactly. Thank you for summarizing. Yes. Yes. Wow. I wonder if I've ever seen that played out for the last 18 years anywhere in the. So Fritzi would be Cam. Yes. And you would be Ferris. And welcome to your day off. All right, a couple of phone calls. Robin, Orlando. Hi, Rob. Welcome back. What do you have for me? Hey, Dan. Hey, thanks for taking my call again, man. Hey, I just want to tell you about three quick things. One, I am. I'm embarrassed for Todd that he doesn't know how to operate a broom. I'm embarrassed for Marvin for a small hand. And I, and I'm not sure if I should say this, but, but shuck it, Don. Oh, okay. Now, we're not, we're not going to pick on Don. Ben. Nada. That, that. We, we talked about it in the first hour of the program. It was a discussion there. But thank you for the phone call. Yes, you should. I stop them printing the Suck at Don T shirts. Yes. We're not doing that. We're doing that. We did reach out if the ESPN investigative reporter did want to join us on the show. That was great. He said he was busy, but I was willing to have a discussion with him saying that he was embarrassed for me. Yes. Todd. Why did he get me twice with the broom and the slushy thing? Because Don Vanetta doesn't have any kind of speech. I don't know why he was coming after. It was like two shots. I, I. You know what? We're going to ban Rob. We're not going to let him back on. Yeah. Gonna ban him for a day. He can't go back until tomorrow. That's what you get. JT in Charlotte. Hey, jt. Hey, Dan. Second time, long time. I've got a couple. So I was watching some tv and I was on online yesterday, and I discovered that a couple big entities have taken a couple uniquely DP show terms and kind of run with them. Okay. On Jeopardy, one of the categories was about being quizzical. Yeah. And then on the other one, it was. No, I'll go ahead and mention. It was on the athletics. They were using the term. As far as people's favorite college football teams. Hopo meter, which I think came up with that. That was Paulie. The Hope O meter. Is that right? The Hope meter. Hope O meter. One of us did. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody. One of the. One of the Dan ants did. But thank you. Thank you, jt, for the update on that. Yeah, it's okay. We share they sample. Ryan in Austin. Hi, Ryan. What's on your mind? Hey, D.T. and the boys. I got a question for you. I know Reggie Jr. Aloysius the third. Third is an honorary DNA. But with college football season kicking off, are we going to grant Chris Sims with the privilege of being an honorary dent? I'll hang up and listen. Love you guys. No, we just don't hand it out like that. I mean, we love Chris Sims, but he's welcome. But honorary. No, can't do that. Yes, Tom. And he's got that nepotism background. So now we're just doing it because it's Phil's son, so he doesn't deserve. Thank you. Ethan in Iowa. Hi, Ethan. What's on your mind? How's it going, Dan? Hey, Ethan. I got a statement and then a question. My first statement is Jerry Jones is the worst thing that could ever happen to the Cowboys. I've been a Cowboys fan since I was a kid. My dad made me be one because he was. He got to see all the Super Bowls. I didn't. I know people were talking about it earlier, the whole handshake thing. Unbelievable that you'd even attempt to negotiate without Micah's agent, considering Micah is the most valuable player to our team and possibly in the NFL. I mean, the guy's got the brightest future. And that. I know that's a bold take, but I'm just. I'm a delusional Cowboys fan. And then next is my question. Do you think the cow or. Sorry. Do you think I would say I'm going to Ireland for the game? Do you think I would? State will cover the three and a half. That's not my wheel. That's not my wheel of expertise. But I can ask the gambling guys. Shay and Irving and Dylan and Bad Larry coming up in about an hour from now. Yes, Marv. It's not their expertise either. That's true. If you listen to the gambling show, a bet against Dylan, that's where you make Money. He's not very good, but he's entertaining. He's entertainingly not very good. If you're watching on Peacock, he's in there in the control room with Mario, who's the eyes and ears of this show. Of course, say good morning, those watching on Peacock. Yes, Paul. And our gambling show, unlike other gambling shows, we tell you, don't bet off our picks. Have fun with the picks. Don't expect to make money. Yeah, that's. That's kind of our motto here. We're going to entertain you, but don't expect to make money. All right, how about we play the game who's more hall of Famey? Do we have some football music there, Marvin? All righty, Paul. Give us candidate 1. Candidate 2. Who's more hall of Fame? This is an offshoot of whose stats would you want? But this is. I don't want you to guess the player. Just tell me. Based off stats, who would you put in the hall of fame? QB1. 17 seasons, 108 and 113 as a starter, 377 touchdowns, 188 picks. Never led the league in touchdown passes, 1300 career rushing yards, a career QB rating of 91.2. Here's the big stuff. Two Pro Bowls in 17 years. Never an All Pro postseason record. 5, 5. One Super bowl win, one Super bowl appearance. QB2. 13 seasons, 121 and 177 as a starter. 350 touchdowns, 111 interceptions. Led the NFL in TD passes once. 5400 rushing yards. Bonus career quarterback rating of 99.8. 10 Pro Bowls in 13 years. One time he was first team All Pro post season record of 9 and 8. One Super bowl win, one super bowl loss. Who is more hall of Famey based off stats? QB2 is. You said 121 and 177. It's 121 and 77 as his record as a starter. 121 and 77. Yeah, I would say QB2, but then you want me to say QB2. Is it fair to say QB2? Well, I got 10 Pro Bowls. I've got a Super bowl win, two Super bowl appearances and over 5,000 yards rushing. 350 touchdown passes to 111 interceptions. That's as impressive as it gets with that ratio. Led the NFL and TD passes once. Okay, do you want to tell us? Okay, QB1. I will not tell you yet. Who is whom. Follow up question. Just answer off the top of your head. Who do you think? If they stop playing right now or if they didn't add much more to their resume. Is more likely to go in the hall of Fame. Matthew Stafford or Russell Wilson? I would say the momentum is on Matthew Stafford. Russell Wilson. Okay. Momentum's a good word. Yeah. I think Matthew Stafford is on an uptick. Yes. I thought that these sort of. It wasn't even the uptick. It was, get the ring and you're in. Yes. Was basically the. The rule with Matthew Stafford. He's got everything you need except for the ring, and then you're in and then get that. Because it feels like Matthew Stafford is the first. He's QB1, Matthew Stafford is QB1, and Russell Wilson Jr III is QB2. Stats wise, I think it's a clear case for QB2. But like you said, the perception around Matthew Stafford is positive. I think likability or whatever word you want to use. It is. It. Isn't it amazing the number of young quarterbacks who look at Matthew Stafford as the guy. When C.J. stroud talked a bit about this Caleb Williams, like, they were like, matthew Stafford's the guy. Like, that's who you wanted to be. And I never realized that because he played for the Lions, and you'd always be like, oh, Matthew Stafford. And he takes a beating, man. They're not very good. But I'm surprised. He only went to two Pro Bowls. But, I mean, playing for the Lions, it feels like you got to grade him on a curve there. But Russ has got the numbers. Absolutely. 350 touchdown passes to 111 interceptions, 10 Pro Bowls, five. 5,400 rushing yards. Yes. Marv. I think recessing bias is helping Stafford, and it's hurting Russell. Yeah. Yes. Well, hopefully they both get in, and they probably will. I think you're dead on on the Lions curve thing, though, as well. It's like Matthew Stafford had to overcome being a Lion. Yes. Marvin. I think Stafford. I think both of them probably need one more Super Bowl. I don't think so. So you guessing Matthew Stafford's in now? Yeah. Huh. Yeah. It just feels like he built up a lot of goodwill. I think these young quarterbacks pointing to him and saying, that's who we want to emulate. That was surprising to me. It's like younger players looking at Paul George and they're like, I want to be like Paul George. I'm like, really? And the number of young players in the NBA were going, man, Paul George, he was the dude. He was the guy. I mean, okay, yeah. Paul. Does it feel right now that Matthew Stafford is likely in and Matt Ryan is likely Going to wait a while. Well, you got Philip Rivers. Yeah. And you got Matt Ryan. Who's more hall of Famey. Out of those two. Matt Ryan, four Pro Bowls, an MVP and a Super bowl loss. But a Super bowl appearance. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Marv. The no. All Pro thing. And only two Pro Bowls for Stafford. Yeah, for Stafford. Yeah. It, it's surprising to me he felt like a five time Pro Bowler. Yeah. In no time all Pros because he was playing on the lines. But I mean the super bowl definitely helps. But I think, I think two would put him over the top for sure. Would another bad season put Russ out on the outside looking in? Yes. Eden. Well, that part of the reason why I think Matthew Stafford is absolutely in is sort of like a kind of a tweak on what Paul said, that he didn't survive the Lions. He made the Lions survivable. And really they would have probably gotten a ring if the Calvin Johnson thing hadn't happened. You know, he has the benefit of being robbed in one of like the worst calls ever where that sort of helps propel him into that other category. He, he brought the Lions back. He made them a good team again. He made them watchable. He made them not terrible. And I think the loyalty to the Lions and I mean that played a role too. You're. I mean, he took a beating, but he was the constant there with the Lions. And, and maybe that I once again, I don't know what factors in with the pro football writers of what they see. Like what's important to you. If I look at touchdown to interception ratio, Russ is one of the greatest of all time. 5,400 yards. How many quarterbacks have come close to 5,400 rushing yards? You're in the playoffs. It just feels like that interception against New England because if that doesn't happen, they score a touchdown, then there, there is no dispute. Yeah. See, but still, and I still. That's not a bad play by him. It was a great play by the defense. It was a bad call. That's not his fault. That. Yeah, well, you know, I mean, he, he. I don't know why he's sort of like wearing the burden of that because to me that wasn't a bad offensive play. It was just a great defensive play. Sometimes somebody makes a better play than you. You know, it's not like it was a poorly thrown ball, it wasn't overthrown. And then you're like, dang, Russell, that was a terrible throw. It was great. The other guy just made a better play. Let's take a break. We'll come back.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention, passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of each air traffic control. And they're saying, like, okay, pull this. Until this, pull that, turn this. It's just, I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible. Two young girls had photographed real fairies. But even more extraordinary than the magazine articles claim was the identity of the man who wrote the article. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The man who wrote Sherlock Holmes. Yes. The man who invented literature's most brilliant detective was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real. How did they do it? And why does it seem like so many smart people keep falling for outlandish tricks? These are the questions we explore in Hoax, a new podcast from me, Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood, and me, Lizzy Logan. Every episode, we'll explore one of the most audacious and ambitious tricks in history, from the fake Shakespeares to balloon boys, and try to answer the question of why we believe what we believe. Listen to Hoax on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going through something like that is a traumatic experience. But it's also not the end of your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization. Dr. Leitra Tate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Paul in Raleigh. Hey, Paul, what's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, how are you doing today? First time, long time. 5-714-A- Hard 145. Had a quick question for y'. All. I don't know if it's a actual challenge or. But being National Pickleball Day tomorrow, I didn't know who we may see on the courts this afternoon. I know Dylan and Todd are maybe on the DL still, but just wanted to throw that out there. Love y'. All. Love listening to you. Thank you, Paul. Yeah, I don't know. We're down a couple of guys, got some pickleball injuries, but there's enough guys to go around. Satan's not afraid to get out there and rough it up a little bit. Marvin as well. Maybe we'll get somebody out there for National Pickleball Day. Chase in Oregon. Hi, Chase. What's on your mind today? Hey, good morning, Dan. How you doing? Great. What's on your mind? Well, first of all, I just wanted to apologize. I called a couple weeks ago and gave a horrible Deion Sanders impersonation. It was not good Shout out Buddha. But I had to. I came up with a Jerry Jones, Micah Parsons and Breaking Bad comp if you're ready. Okay, but no more imitation. I'm gonna do one. It's Jerry, but it'll be quick. Okay. All right, here we go. This is Chase in Oregon. Well, it kind of reminds me of that episode where Jesse is getting interrogated by the detectives. Detectives kind of being Jerry Jones, you know, saying like, well, there's no need to get a lawyer involved in this, and cutting out the middleman is not a good idea. Jesse really needed Bob Odenkirk. Saul to come in and say, hey, you know, quit harassing my clients. I think. I think Michael Parsons needs to lawyer up. Thank you. Chase Allen in Salt Lake City. Hi, Alan. What's on your mind today? Well, hey, Dan. First time, long time. 63180. I mean, it's hard to follow that impression. And I won't be doing any of those today. No, it's not hard to follow that, Alan. It's easy to follow that because anything's going to sound a lot better than Chase. Perfect. All right, no pressure then. Hey, so I'm a, I'm a displaced Michigan sports fan, Lions fan, since birth. And I gotta say, when that trade happened and he went to the Rams, kind of more fuel to the Matt Stafford MVP fire or not MVP hall of Fame fire us. I won't speak for all Lions fans, but a lot of Lions fans became Rams fans for that playoff run and were cheering and pulling for him to win that super bowl with them. And I don't, I mean, I don't see that happening with a lot of other quarterbacks. Yeah, I think he built up a lot of goodwill. You wanted him to have maybe a swan song where he got to play in some big playoff and he got that opportunity and that might be the reason why he's going into the Pro Football hall of Fame when it's all said and done. And maybe, I mean, they're going to be one of the favorites if he's healthy, can or get healthier, they're going to be one of the favorites in the nfc. We, we tend to talk about the commanders and we talk about the Eagles. And I get that. I go back to that Rams game. It just felt like if that game lasted for 60 seconds more, the Rams were going to win that game. I truly felt that. I thought the momentum was with them. But we have football coming up. You got three games coming up tonight. This is the first full week. I wouldn't overreact to anything. Let's say it's Shador Sanders plays well on Friday. And then you go, yeah, he should have been taken in the first round or if he doesn't play well, and then you say, yeah, that's why he was taken in the fifth round. Told you. If you want to stay with those opinions, then stay throughout the entire preseason there. You know, you got to make a declaration that he should have been a first round pick or that's why he was a fifth round pick. I'm interested to see. And, and a lot of this is what Ross Tucker talked about last hour. It's body language. How do the players respond to you? Are you a leader? Are you vocal when you get sacked? Do they help you up? Like just little things how quick you're. You're able to process. There's been stories that have come out about Caleb Williams with Ben Johnson's offense in Chicago and that delay a game. Kind of having a hard time getting out of the huddle, get to the line of scrimmage, call the play and then actually perform. But this is August right now. But Caleb, in your second year, I now the margin for error, the room for error is a lot smaller here. And you're looking at these other quarterbacks that you could have had. And Caleb Williams has to be a good quarterback this year. Doesn't have to be great, just has to be good. He has to be. That's why we took you. And now you got Ben Johnson. So we can take away the excuses of you didn't have a legitimate person with your offense. Now you got receivers. Roma Dunes is going to be a star, I think. And Ben Johnson's calling the plays. There should be a lot of magic. Yes. Marvin. Yeah. This kind of feels like a C.J. stroud, Bryce Young situation where the second overall pick has a great rookie year. And it's like, man, you really gotta show up because we picked you number one overall. So this might be do or die. I know it's year two, but Kayla Williams got to show us something because Jaden Daniels had a great rookie year. Yeah. And sometimes it's who you're drafted with that. That's how you're compared. Hey, are you better than that guy? Yes. Okay. We got the right guy. And that's not necessarily the litmus test. Now, if you can compare to Jaden Daniels. Okay. Or C.J. stroud. Okay. Or Jordan Love, but he should be as good, if not better than those quarterbacks. I mean, Jaden Daniels played a lot of football. And I think that there were people who weren't quite sure what you were getting with Jaden Daniels. Would that style succeed in the NFL? But he had over 60 starts. What you saw was who he was. It's just like Bo Nix. When you have over 55 starts in your college career, what you see, that's who they are. And when Sean Payton talks about Bo Nicks and thinks he's going to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, that says a whole. A whole lot, you know. And Sean's former quarterback, Drew Brees will join us on the program tomorrow. But trying to assess talent in the preseason is really difficult because let's say Shador Sanders goes 6 for 11. Let's say he has a touchdown, maybe, you know, a fumble Lost or got sacked two times, whatever. I just want to see how he does after he sacked or after a fumble or after an interception. Those are the kind of things that you want to see because that's the NFL. You. You can have highlights, but the NFL is not about that. It's about what you do on all the other plays. As the great golfer Payne Stewart once said to me, we have to play our foul balls. Baseball, you hit a foul ball, you don't have to worry about it. Golfers, you got to play your foul balls. He said, our games are about our misses. So when you aren't on target, then what do you do? When you're not playing your best game, what do you do? What do you do when you're down three touchdowns? Like, that's what the NFL is all about. And that's. You know, I'm watching video of Caleb Williams get really frustrated in. In training camp with just some drills that are going on. I still find myself when I watch quarterbacks, I want to know, how quickly are you doing what you do? There was a montage of Tom Brady calls at the line of scrimmage, and it was on social media. And I was fascinated by it because you're watching in real time somebody who's going to change the play and you're going to score a touchdown. He goes, the line of scrimmage. I see this. All right, I'm going to call this. Oh, I saw how you reacted. I'm going to call this. Next thing you know, Julian Edelman in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown. And just to be able to do that now, that takes time. Rookie, second year, third year. It's rare when you get that, but when you do, when you see that, it's fascinating that that call, what you, whatever it is you saw, you change the call and you scored a touchdown on that. That's playing quarterback, but doing it so you have time to be able to do that. When you get to the line of scrimmage. I got two plays called. All right, I'm gonna audible out of that. You have to have maybe another play or you go to a play with a code word or a signal because you saw something, that's. That's when you know you've mastered the position. Yeah, Paul, I saw a good chop up on NFL Network the other day. They were looking at quarterbacks from last year. Third down percentage, third down conversions, third down quarterback rating. Jaden Daniels was fifth in the NFL on third down quarterback ratings. Caleb Williams was 26th. Yeah. And how? I don't know who we had on. I think Steve Young years ago said, you're what you do on third down decides what your team does. Third down, red zone. Very important, because then that's a touchdown or a field goal. Yeah, Marvin. Yeah. One of my favorite things in the NFL is watching the chess match between the quarterback and the middle linebacker who's got to call the defenses. When somebody says, kill, kill, kill, and they start doing all these dummy, you know, quotes or whatever, and it's like, no, stay here. No, move back. No, they're playing to run. And it is like there's a clip of Ray Lewis and Peyton Manning just YouTube Ray Lewis and Peyton Manning talking about like a third down call where Dallas Clark gets a catch on it. And you see Ray Lewis is like, it's 15 years later. I'm still stewing over him getting this, this catch. A lot of times you're looking at that free safety because we really don't focus on the middle linebacker anymore. But you might be looking at the free safety and he's, he's looking at you. Ed Reed was a master. Ed Reed, oh, my goodness. One of the smartest football players I ever saw. And there is a highlight where he is baiting Peyton Manning. It was. Somebody was showing this the other day, and he takes off on the snap and he's only taking off to run in this direction. So Peyton doesn't think, he thinks this left side is going to be open. And Ed Reed takes off the other way. And then he comes back and makes the interception. Those just guys who play differently. And we, you know, we always, we, we credit the quarterback. But there are some defense. Zach Thomas was one of the smartest. Peyton talked about he could never outsmart him. Dolphins linebacker, he can never go to line of scrimmage, call out a play. And then Zach would say, it's going to be a run. Left, left, enough right here. And then Peyton would go, damn, he's right. And then you change the play and he would yell out, watch for the screen. Watch for the screen. And Peyton would know that he figured it out. And not many people figured out Peyton Manning. Let me see. Eric and Tucson. Hi, Eric. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan. Good morning, gentlemen. Hey, I just wanted to talk about the hall of Faming game real quick and just maybe a different perspective because of the recency bias that's there. Yep. What if you think each of their careers and you go in reverse. So Russell starts in Pittsburgh, goes to dinner. Denver finishes in Seattle that starts in la, goes to Detroit and you compare the numbers, but the career arcs are the opposite of what they are. It's a great point, Eric. And you're right if you did it in reverse, Stafford, he won early, but then look what happened to his career. Whereas Russia, you know, if we started with the Giants in Denver and man, he struggled and then all of a sudden look at what he did at the end of his career. He won a Super Bowl. Yeah, the whole, whole different way of looking at, at quarterbacks. And that might be the analogy, if I'm a voter, of. Let me look at it that way to be fair to some, you know, the totality of somebody's career. Because there will be recency bias with Matthew Stafford and there will be a anti bias towards Russ. You know, as far as positives. It'll be about, you know, and we see what happened. Got out of Seattle, had that defense, you know, his salary, they were able to keep all their great players. Then all of a sudden he made too much money and got out of Seattle and then the, you know, terrible deal that Denver paid him and gave up for him. And now Pittsburgh and now you got the Giants. Yeah, Paulie. If you go back to Kurt Warner, all his early success with St. Louis, if he doesn't have a rebirth with Arizona and get them to the precipice of a Super bowl with a, a shaky franchise, he might be a great story of the non hall of Famer. He came on this show and he said to me, what do you think I need to do to get in the hall of Fame? And I said, if you take Arizona to the super bowl, fast forward to Steelers, Cardinals. And they lost that in dramatic fashion. And I remember walking over to Kurt Warner and you know, obviously he's down in the dumps. They lost this game. Roethlisberger. Incredible. And I remember walking over to Kurt Warner and he's in the bowels of the stadium there and they're doing interviews and guys are, you know, walking out and I walked up and I said, you're going to make the hall of Fame. And he looked over, he goes, thanks. Like he was so down in the dumps with it. He got to the super bowl, they lose. And I just remember saying, you're going to get in the super bowl or you're going to get in the hall of Fame. Yeah, Marv. Yeah. I think Kurt Warner winning with the Rams, who were always terrible, at least for my entire childhood, and getting to the super bowl with the Cardinals, I think Jared Goff if he gets the Lions to the super bowl and they win, he gets to the hall of Fame before Matthew Stafford does. You know, Paulie said that last year, if the Lions go to the super bowl with Jared Goff, if they win the Super Bowl, I think winning, he's been to the Super Bowl. If you get to the super bowl, two different franchises, four time Pro Bowler, you win a Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah. Probably have a great, great campaign there. Yeah. Paul, Jared Goff's 34 Pro Bowls, 222 touchdowns and only 94 picks. He's got really nice stats. But you just said that those numbers and Russ had 350 touchdowns and 111 interceptions. Jared Goff is not very far behind the total that Russ has. And Russ has 350 touchdown passes. That ratio, I mean that's right there with Aaron Rodgers ratio of greatest of all time.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention, passengers. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need to someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying, like, okay, pull this. Until this. Pull that. Turn this. It's. It's just. I do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought, that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Ern Malley. In an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial, the Ern Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz. Every episode, hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artworks to the original fake news. To try and answer why we believe, listen to Hoax on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going through something like that is a traumatic experience. But it's also not the end of your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Tritate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like, like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance, and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow. Drew Brees will stop by. We'll shoot the breeze tomorrow. Right, Todd? We will exactly do that. Thank you. Thank you. A bloop would have been fine. You haven't given me many bloops. Why is that? I've been holding out on you a little bit. But why? I don't know. It's Bill. Because I know you can do better. Really? Yeah. You could always do better. I don't know. But if you could always do better, then you can't wait. On it. I just. I know a bloop when I hear it. Okay. It wasn't one of those times. Appreciate your honesty. How about this day in Sports history, Paul? 1907, Walter Johnson of the Senators. 1907 won his first major league game. He was the big train. Walter, the big train Johnson, I believe. Okay. In his major league debut, Joe Keough of the A's had a home run in his first ever at bat on his first pitch. That's gonna be pretty rare. And one of the greatest. Our favorites. 1999, Tony Gwynn of the Padres got hit number 3,000. But was it on the same day that Wade Boggs got his 3,000th hit? I don't have it here. I thought. I think I remember the Sports Center. I thought Tony got his hit yesterday or the day before because Wade Boggs is the first player in baseball history to hit a home run for his 3,000th career hit. But I. I don't think Tony did it on this day. I could be wrong. As a journalist. You were right, Dan. It was on the 6th. Okay. This dance force. History in error. Oh, it's good to be back in the journalism department here, J Club. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, dear. I got kicked. Kicked out a few times. Get scolded? Yeah, I did. I verbally spanked. You're no journalist. Okay. Ryan in Montana. Hi, Ryan. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. How's it going? Great, Rye. Good. Thanks for. Thanks for taking my call. Five six soft 175 software. Yeah. Quick shout out to Marvin. As a fellow Niner fan, we got to stick together. So let's go, Marv. Bang, bang, Niner gang. I also. I also think it's hilarious when anybody ever refers to him as a DEI hire. That cracks me up every time. I actually think that would make a good T shirt idea. Something about Marvin being the best DEI hire ever. But I think he hit a home run with Marvin. Man. Taking over for McLovin. He does a great job. Also, real quick, want to give you your flowers for Happy Gilmore. You were. You were awesome. The movie was hilarious. It's not very often I think that a sequel lives up to the original, but I think it did in this case. And I had a question real quick about Adam Sandler. You were talking last week about how he was. He was gonna play. Play the Garden here. Coming up quick with his stand up, how he plays the guitar and sings songs and stuff. And I was just wondering. I know you've dipped your toe in the comedian pool with Will Ferrell doing the Stat of the Day song. Have you ever asked the fan man about doing his version at that of the day? Because I think that could be absolute gold. So thanks a lot, guys. Have a great day. Okay. I'm still working on Stephen Wilson Jr. The country artist, to give us a stat of the day. I did reach out to his manager two days ago and I said, hey, I want to see Stephen Wilson on tour. He said, yeah, you got it. I said, I'd also like to get the Stat of the day that we asked for a year ago. He goes, oh, you're right. He's been busy touring and doing his album. I said, it's only going to Take him two minutes to do Stat of the Day. Selfish. Yeah, I mean, can we think of me in the waning years of my journalistic career? That would be nice. Did he bring up anything else I needed to comment on? Happy Gilmore. Yes, Todd? What is Big Bang Niner Gang? Could I have heard of that? I've never heard of that before. I apologize. If that's a common 49er chant, it's bang Bang Niner Gang. Thank you very much. I thought he said Big Bang Niner Gang. So it's Bang Bang Niner Gang. Yes, sir. And that means what? It's just a chant. And it was a song by a gentleman by the name of E40. Yeah, E40. Okay. He's a Niner fan also. Yes, Todd. I think Jim Parsons played in the Big Bang Niner Gang. I'm not sure. Okay, I get it. You're not gonna get a bloop. I won't. Yeah. Paul, I'm looking at the lyrics from this opus. Bang Bang Niner Gang. Some of the players referenced Dwight Clark, Rice Lot, of course, and Merton Hanks. Name is Merton Hanks. Number 36. Yeah. Martin Hanks makes the cut. Always felt like he had a real long neck. Merton Hanks. He would do that dance. Yeah, yeah. Merton Hanks. He was a thing there for a little while. Preston in Oregon. Hi, Preston. What's on your mind today? Dan, thanks for taking my call. I've got a stat of the day for you. Eugene, Oregon native Justin Herbert is the only quarterback in the last 25 years to score touchdowns on both his first career collegiate and first career NFL pass attempts and have both of them called back due to penalties. That was 2016 against the despised Washington Huskies and 2020 against the despised Kansas City Chiefs. Start of the day. Start of the day. We love your of the day. Of the day. Oh, damn. Give us the state of the day, Pandora. That's just magic is what that is. You know, you hear that voice and I just fall into a dreamlike stance. Yeah, Stance. Oh, Dan gave us your best. Oh, no. I fall into a trance. It's a dream. Like trance, not stance. Yeah, I'm gonna give her my best. No, on the show. I'm gonna give her my best. Yes, Todd, you can get it to a dreamlike stance, but you'll probably fall over. That is true. Thank you, Todd. Thank you. You don't get a bloop on that either. Okay. That's okay. All right, how about we go around the room, what we learned on the program? I'll start with you toddlers. Ross Tucker had a very bad first experience with smelling salts. Then he was too afraid to ever really use them ever again. See? No. Connor, what'd you learn today? Just move on. Yes, Move on. Moment yesterday, called out, verbally spanked by somebody at the mothership. You just move on. That's what journalists. That's what journalists do is move on. Marvin, what'd you learn? Ross Tucker doesn't need smelling salt. No, he does not. He is very, very alive. Paul, what did you learn? I love a good journalism beef. Yeah, Todd, what did I learn? After his performance yesterday, DraftKings had showy Otani's MVP odds jumping from a negative 450 to minus 1000. A lot of fun today. Hope you were entertained. Drew Brees tomorrow on a meet Friday for Fritzy Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly. We'll talk to you then. Hey, guys, it's Az Fudd. You may know me as a gold medalist.
