Hour 2 – “The Godfather” vs. “Goodfellas,” Justin Verlander

You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

Stat of the Day brought to you by Pennini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. I could never I could never lose you.

I hurt my feelings for a moment, but then I realized you if I'm better not.

I can't quit you. I've tried, but I can't quit you. I appreciate we are together forever.

That's a lovely sentiment that you.

Just well for the next here, the next three years, well, Christmas Eve twenty twenty, that's it. Then then lose my number.

Yeah, its ago never.

Good morning.

If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app, we say good morning. If you're listening on our radio affiliates. iHeartRadio Fox Sports Radio over four hundred cities brave enough to carry this program. We'll talk to future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, who quietly signed with the Giants in the off season. He'll join us coming up. I an Eagle,

Well hour one?

We had one sort of pop up there last minute organically, if you will. Oh, and it is controversial. Oh boy, better movie the Godfather or Goodfellas? Okay, right now we're at about a sixty forty Godfather to Goodfellas. Okay, earlier it was the exact same, but Goodfellas to Godfather okay, polarizing, Okay, I like to call it Godfellas, you know, like combine them, combine them both.

I like the movie. I like Goodfellas. I did. I liked it. I didn't love it. I'm just saying yes to how much?

And you're like what I used to call good Fellows all the type until like today, now it's good Fellas all of a sudden.

Yeah, I had to call you out. That's right. You know we're all thinking it, and I'm going to verbalize it. I'm much shot. You just kicked me to the curb like three minutes ago. So are you gonna get that.

I jokingly kipped you to the curb. You're being mean.

She was meant to be mean.

Spirit Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna say we think.

Father are good fellows? Which one? I don't know which one I like more?

You know what those? If I said Godfather better? Oh it is?

Yes.

Is it fair to say that you have a little bit of a blind spot for that genre of movie Mafia?

I'm say no, no, I do I do? I do you do?

Because you didn't really like the Sopranos, You're not really into any of the like the big ones, like you ever seen Donnie Brasco?

Yeah, have you? Yeah, it's a good movie. Yeah, okay, once again, I've been married thirty seven years. I've been in the family for thirty nine years. You never talked about the mafia, even though you probably could find somebody in the family tree who could have been married to somebody who might have been affiliated with I don't know, the teflon don Oh yes, okay, yeah, So it never

So that's all all.

Yeah, that's it.

Yes, Paul, let's play or count this. If the Godfather is Tom Brady the clear best of all time in the genre, what is Goodfellas? What quarterback would Goodfellas be?

I'll let you guys decide that, because I might go Ben Roethlisberger.

I'd probably go Joe Montana because the work is similar, the resumes are a little better, like the Godfather resume is a little better than the Goodfella's resume.

But Goodfellas never lost in the super Bowl, never lost in the super Bowl.

If you know, yes, did Godfather three cost them?

Was there four in there too?

I don't.

I don't know, but yeah, maybe they Maybe they stayed around too long, they played too long, and you know they they had a Hall of Fame career, an all time career, and then they gave us Godfather three.

Yeah.

Godfather one is Joe Montana, Godfather two is Steve Young. Godfather three is whoever followed those two guys with the Niners.

Jim Drunken Miller no offense, Yeah, Jim Drunken Miller.

It was like, if you see that commercial where it's all the old football players sitting around, They're like, Hey, why don't we run it back one more time? I bet we can still this like Marino, Rice, Emmitt Smith. That's what the Last Godfather was, like, why don't we run it back one more time? How bad could it be?

Yeah?

Yeah, it turns out awful.

Eight seven seven three DP show. So are we going to go with a new poll question here for hour or two?

Well, I'm sort of populating one from something we were talking about an hour one two of the most unbreakable sports records. But we have too many options. We have way too many options. I think Emmett is on there. I think Cal Ripkin consecutive game streak. I don't know how anybody's ever gonna bring.

It because Cal didn't have load management. We nowadays gotta have a you know, even the manager WI. Yeah, I'm going to give you.

A day off, even if you're not managing your load.

You need to get incredibly lucky to be that good for that long, to play that many games without getting hurt at all, even if you're not trying to sit out any games and rest.

Yes, Cal Ripkins record is so safe that, let's say a star player for a team was twenty six, twenty seven to twenty eight, the manager would be criticized for playing them one hundred and sixty two games, like you're burning out your best player. That it would that is as safe as it gets.

And we were talking about the movies, the big game or the big moment that ends with a loss, like Rocky, Bad News, Bears, Friday Night Lights, Moneyball, Tin Cup, League of their Own. If you're Russian Miracle on ice like that one in Russia.

Of that movie, you walk into the theater like this is not gonna.

But I wonder if they look at it like, hey, you know what, you kind of like a movie sometimes it doesn't end with a victory. I don't know if the Russians feel that same way that I do, that it's okay that you have a loss.

Our time has passed a lot of people confused as who they're rooting for these days too, with that one, that's true.

Wait, you're rooting for the Russian Wait a minute, no, I thought that we were. I thought which one was the miracle? Yes, Paul, you.

Ever walk into a theater and you see a movie based on the name and you don't know the background. Imagine you're Russian and you go into the local cineplex like, oh, Miracle, let's go check that out without knowing.

I don't think it plays at the local cineplex in Russia.

You don't think they movie theaters of Russia. I don't think they play that. It did not make the cut, No, because they lost. They don't want to show you movies that. They want to show you propaganda.

Honey, let's get some popcorn and see Miracle.

Yeah.

Yes, I think the AMC and Kiev for about three or four weeks they had that running there and then they pulled it.

One time one.

Realized they were Chicken in Kiev.

Uh you see what he did, Chicken Kiva in keV they would be rooting for the US. Oh that's yeah, that's right. Okay, well I don't.

Get the wrong country. All of a sudden, we got political Chris in California. Hi, Chris, how are you today?

The pub of the morning to you all have a several things for the show. I'd like to offer up a name for Hu's resume, and then I got a uh some mireable stating.

For Todd.

I think we can answered resume the Moyle and romentum because we know how to cut off the momentum.

Show that's not necessary.

Wow Moyle.

And for us our stats, we got a Barry Bond was intentionally walked U in the lowest amount of times, more than like three or four franchises in their total history. So I think that would be pretty tough to break.

Yeah, what what did he get intentionally walk like two hundred times one year, like two thirty two or something crazy pulling.

He was Barry Bond's peak. Berry Bonds was once walked, just walked two hundred and thirty two games that times in the season that was four. He was intentionally walked one hundred and twenty times that season. That's double the best ever, like the second best ever. I think his poohole set sixty one.

Jeremy in California, Hi, Jeremy, what's on your mind?

Hey Dan, you guys were talking about movies earlier.

Let me get this one thing out of the way.

First.

My nine er should immediately shine Darius Slay without hesitation. That dude's stud even at thirty four. But my main thing that triggered me to call you guys today was you were talking about great movies? Might I recommend Sacario and wind River along with Sandlot as a sports movie owning Sandlot. But the producer that answered my call, I was asking.

Him if you guys might be able to continue to take recommendations on shows or movies that are stream or binge worthy and maybe have a link on your website to aggregate them so people know what where to go to look for new shows to watch when they're done watching everything that they think is we're a stream.

All right, Well, thank you, Jeremy. I have seen those movies that you brought up. Reacher is very good.

I like Reacher a.

Lot and I am watching White Lotus.

It's it's a slow burn right now? Is that the third season?

Yeah?

Is it?

Yeah?

I haven't started the slow burn. It's in Thailand. I'm trying to think what else.

I just rewatched Beef for the second time. Okay, that's really good. That's really good. It's about this like road rage incident. Speaking of dark, that gets extremely dark.

I only got through half of the first episode. Oh man, yeah, I know, I know. You gotta get me. And if you don't get me, then I'm going and uh, I usually don't come back.

Yes, Pauline, I just started a series called Paradise with Sterling K. Brown.

Heard great things about it.

Good first episode, huge curveball at the end and it goes a completely different direction, but very good.

Okay, yeah, I'm trying to think anything else that.

Uh, let's see the Jeremy Renner series.

Mayor of Kingstown. Oh yeah, that good. That was great, That was real good.

Hacks is really really funny, really funny, very funny. It's kind of based off of Joan Rivers in her career in Vegas, and.

Jeane Smart is fantastic in that. Yes, she is brilliant.

She is really and her assistant is the daughter of Lorraine Newman, who was one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live, and she does a great job as well. Spencer in Texas, Hi, Spencer, what's on your mind today?

Hey?

Dan toalking more and see you guys. Just wanted to get a shout out to Brown for hit his fifty thousand, but also wanted to shout out Thomas Harley last night for the game win goal with a doubt started at three point nine seconds less and the.

Third against the Devils so I just want to give a shout out to those two guys.

They're fun to watch.

I appreciate all right, thank you, Spencer.

It might be the only time that Dallas Starr is put in the same sentence with Lebron James. But big night for Lebron not showing any signs is slowing down. And did you have a bet with us Paulie or prediction that Lebron James that this would be his last year?

Yeah, I think we were doing hot takes and I said before the All Star Game, Oh, that's right around the All Star Game, Lebron would announce this is his final season. M hmm, am, I sticking with that, is what you're asking.

Yes, I tried to watch The Bear That's another one I tried. I think I got three episodes in. I think it was the pace that kind of bothered me.

Yes time.

Yeah, everyone tells me what I said. I bailed after watching four or five. I was like, you really needed to stick with it. It starts, trust me, it starts getting all up.

Yeah.

And Seton said that to me, He said, just get through the first season. It's great. I was like, yeah, I pulled the ripcord.

Yes, Yeah, it's like it like I found it entertaining all the way through, So I mean that might be a difference, but it does sort of like come back and swing around to really just like knock you over the head and you're like, whoa, this is what a series?

You know? Al in Atlanta? Hi, Al, what's on your mind?

Good morning, Dan? One quick thing a show to watch? Severance, great series, you guys, you get on that one. But I am calling because I have to agree with Doug in North Carolina. Hoosiers a little, a little hackey, a little eighties and the the speech that he gives in the replacements is better than the speech he gives in and Hoosiers. I'm sorry.

I will not allow this to happen on my watch today, you know, out of respect to Gene Hackman, I will not allow this to happen. We will not denigrate Hoosiers. Not today, Not gonna happen. Still, I got to get Marvin to watch it, all right, you're not helping. I gotta get Marvin. You know, there's I treat Marvel the way I do my kids. Where I go, have you watched?

Yes, Mark.

One of my first homework assignments was watching Caddyshack, and I thought it was good. There was funny parts, but the way people were hyping it up, it was like it was the funniest movie ever.

And some of the jokes.

Man, there's some Chevy Chase one liners that are great, But to me back to school, Rodney Dangerfield was funnier. So the only thing was people were hyping it up, and I think I was expecting it to be coming to America life.

Yeah, but if I said, well, you didn't know at the time that Bill Murray had lived his lines with Chevy, and plus their relationship was an awkward relationship in real life. From Saturday Night Live, I found that interesting. Rodney Dangerfield. Ted Knight was great. Go back to the Mary Tyler Moore show. Ted Knight was Ron Burgundy before Ron Burgundy out the Triton missiles or whatever those things. When they had the gang fight there with all the other news anchors.

We're in there.

Come on, let's go okay, all right.

Justin Verlander is going to join us on loan from the San Francisco Giants.

We'll take a break.

More phone calls as well, and we'll hear from Lebron James and Steph Curry coming up back after this Dan Patrick show.

Fritzie is connecting with Justin Verlander. We'll talk to him coming up in a moment. Michael in La Hey, Mike, what's on your mind?

H Good morning, Daniel, how are you today?

Good Michael.

A couple of quick ones for you.

The unbreakable record that would be Cy Young's seven hundred and forty nine complete games. As much as I love the amazing Justin Verlander, he has twenty six, so not gonna be a broke it anytime soon. And then the quick one about Tatum O'Neal's pitching form. You are absolutely correct, fantastic form. Not quite as good as Nukle Loosh, but definitely better than Tony Dan's and Angels on the outfield.

All right, thank you, Michael.

I don't know nu k Leloosh is pitching form not great great character not great form.

Yeah, Paul, we.

May have to categorize unbreakable records too. Cy Young is so far off the board, it's not even a discussion like breakable Ish, Jerry Rice's breakable ish.

Well we should do modern day then, Yes, nobody's gonna average fifty points in a game in the NBA.

Yeah, yeah.

I kind of started like whittling it down to stats based records, Like I get that a complete game is a stat, but it's kind of more of a like longevity thing, just like cal Ripken and consecutive games. So I tried to do it's more about say rushing yards or assists or stolen bases or points per game, that kind of thing.

Okay, because if you did modern you know, I think we look at the NBA, there's two ways to look at it. It's like nineteen eighty, after nineteen eighty or before nineteen eighty when you're looking at stats and maybe even a little bit further back with some of those stats that are probably unbreakable. But I think when burd and Magic came in, that's when I think it kind of started, but yeah, complete games forget about because it's not that important. Now you go five, five and a third.

Now?

When I'm forty two, apparently I still feel great, So.

Get I get out of bed in the morning.

I keep expecting these ags and pains everybody talks about, but I feel pretty good.

I'd like that you gave me a nice backdrop there at Scottsdale Stadium.

We thought about it. You're welcome.

I appreciate that instead of some stare old room there.

I like that you got you gotta you got a career as a cinematographer.

Here.

Let me start with the automated strike zone. With you having done this for so long and now you see the younger pitchers who were going to grow up with this adapt to this. Is there an upside in your opinion to an automated strike zone?

Yeah, I think there's upside to it.

I I like the appeal system over the full automated zone, and the reason being, I think these umpires are are asked to do a really difficult job, and you know they're also the best in the world at it, even though they they're not perfect, but they're you know, that's that's a that's a tough zone to call, especially when guys are throwing one hundred miles an hour with nasty,

I saw where Max Sure's there's not a in favor of this, and then I had to laugh because you guys are veterans. You know, you guys got calls like you know, the the umpire might give you the benefit of the doubt, you know, Greg Maddox, Tom Glavin, you sure's are you know, the automated strike zone.

They don't know who you are.

You know, I wish they don't. They don't do that anymore for us. You know, you go back, you know when I first came in the game, and you know you had those guys that you mentioned, Rocket Roger, you know, Uh Maddix, Uh Johnson, all those guys.

You know, you come into a game and it's like, hey, you're gonna have a little bit bigger zone. Today. These guys have earned it, you know, they tell all the hitters that.

And but with the umpire is being monitored now, they they get even though it's not an automated strike zone, they get they get graded on every single game. So you know, I'm sure some of these older school umpires would like to give us a little bit bigger zone, but we don't get that advantage anymore.

Unfortunately, I would love it.

How important is three hundred wins to you? You're a two sixty two?

Yeah, yeah, Look, I mean i'd be lying if I said it wasn't it wasn't important. I you know, I see pretty clearly that, you know, unless something changes, that I'd probably the last to have a chance to do it.

So it's something that is off in the distance. Uh, I'm not I'm not saying that.

I'm you know, the only reason I'm playing is he at three hundred, I still feel good. I still feel like I can be successful, quite successful. I don't want to go out there and make a fool of myself just to try to try to reach that goal. But you know, I think the injuries that I sustained last last year particularly actually I learned a lot from and you know, I I I think I can be the pitcher that I was three years ago when I won the cy Young So, you know, if three hundred happens, it happens.

But it's something that like a lot of the things I've I've been able to achieve my career.

Uh, it just happens because you're out there taking the ball and doing all the right things and just pitching.

That's it.

What's the conversation like when you sit down with Kate and you go, well, tell me what the conversations like where you decide you want to play another year?

Yeah, yeah, she's super supportive.

Man.

I'm uh, you know, it's it's getting harder. Our daughter is six now and in kindergarten, so, uh, you got real school happening where they can't just pick up and transplant the family for the baseball season. But you know, she knows how much I care and how how much passion I have for this, and and and and My analogy is.

You know, I want to set a good example for my daughter.

And you know, my analogy is like I've spent my entire life training for this marathon.

I literally since I'm five years old.

Since I was five, I picked up at baseball and told my parents I wanted to be a major League baseball player. And here I am living my dream and still feel like I can can play at a high level. So you know, I've trained my entire life to be in the middle of this marathon. Here I am running it, and I feel like I'm you know, I don't know how close I am the finish line, but I'm damn close.

Know exactly what that means yet, so that tells me I'm not there.

He's justin Verlander. And now with the Giants signed a one year deal. Uh do you have to hate the Dodgers more because you're a Giant? Is there a pamphlet that they give you on disliking the Dodgers?

Uh?

No, it's more just a vibe, you know. I think you can pick up on it. I'm actually excited.

I haven't.

Look, I've had some rivalries, but it's it's it's nothing like this. It doesn't have the history. It's had some just like you know in Detroit there were you know, for a few years, the White Sox were really good and we were battling, and then the Indians and then with Houston, the v A's were really good, and then the

Feels like a playoff game. I'm pretty excited about it.

If you could take one pitch off, and you know pitchers in your era, So if it's somebody's fastball, somebody's breaking ball, somebody slider, uh, give me, give me who you would uh.

You would pick? And which which pitch?

Geez uh does it have to I mean I would love Lemon splitter.

That would be yeah, all right, all right that I.

Have a hard time, Like my changeup hasn't been a pitch I've been able to utilize much the last like five or six years, even though I threw it a lot when I was younger. I don't have a pitch that really moves that way. So that would be that would be lovely if I could use that.

Okay, but what about curveball? What about fast I.

Mean Kersh's Curseh's curveball. You know iconic tea.

Can you teach Kershaw's curveball.

No, I don't think so.

I think this is actually a problem that a lot of people fall into. It's a trap where everybody with all of the analytics now you can find out.

You can watch video.

You can see exactly how he throws it and and the spin that he gets on it, just like any other's any other anybody else's pitch. But I think there's something innate with the way that you throw a baseball. It's like the gate of a horse, you know, like it's just so unique to you, and that's what allows you to be successful at certain things. You know, you talk about a fastball, I would want. I want my fastball.

Of it's uh So, I think that's just how I.

Throw a baseball though. It's just what I was born to do and and the way my body works. I can't throw a sinker to save my life, you know, I I it just it just it just doesn't work, you know. But the reason that it doesn't work is because, you know, the way I throw creates such a great it's beneficent forcing.

But if you were coming up.

Now, I wonder the longevity of your career because you would be a different picture.

Very different.

I I I often wonder about this because I mean, it permeates all the way down now to the to the little league level. I mean, you see all these Instagram famous places where you go to to learn how to throw harder, and and you.

Know, I, well, look, they have a place they do. But for me.

You know, if if I look back at my my trajectory when I was a young kid, and I clearly got to the point pretty quickly where my father was like, uh, you know, you're you're past my expertise.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing here, you know.

So he found me a local coach and that coach talked baseball back then, you know, talked about uh mechanics and feel and flow. And his name was Bob Smith and and Richmond, Virginia. And you know, uh that is gone now.

I think.

I think now if my dad were to be in the same position, he would send me somewhere that teaches me how to be a little more cookie cutter and try to throw as try to throw as hard as you can, instead of instead of learning your own mechanics and cultivating your own movement pattern and and learning how to pitch a little bit more. And and I don't know, I don't know where that leads. Yeah, I I talked

Age, toughest out in your career, Like this guy came to the plate and you go, all right, let me just try something totally out of left field.

Salvador Perez has done really well again me in division, Yeah, I would say.

You know.

The good thing is though he didn't have a ton of homers against me.

So in Salvi, sorry Salve. He's not the fastest guy on the on the face of the earth, so it.

Didn't bother me so much. But if he came up with men on base, it was trouble for me.

But would you rather give up a bomb or one that trickles right over the left field wall?

Great question. It depends on the situation in the game.

Let's say it's just, you know, you're up five to nothing, bomb, I'd rather give up a homer, like, yeah, four hundred and fifty feet, You're okay.

I'm completely fine with it.

I at least I challenged you, you know, and you know I can move on from that.

We're still up for nothing. There's nobody on base. I still feel comfortable.

A little blooper, and then, you know, and then another guy gets a base hitting out's you know you got you know, then a guy hits a homer and it's a you know, two run ball game.

That's a little different.

Greg Maddox said, I said, describe the sound of a home run. He says, it's like a it's like a car crash.

Yeah.

I mean these guys, you know, do you know it right away.

Without Sometimes? Yeah, a lot of times.

No, it's kind of like, you know, you just had that reaction where you're like, you know, get down your you're in your head the whole thing. You got a few seconds, so you get down, get down, get down. You just don't you know it's going to be closed. And then some of them you're just like.

Oh boy, when you're not pitching in spring training, what's what do you do?

Like?

You know, I uh, there's been a lot of guys here playing chess, so that's been fun. We've been getting some good chess games. Going on, and we're gonna start a San Francisco Giants chess club.

Not in the dugout.

Not in the dugout.

No, No, in spring training, you don't really, I mean, especially especially with my tenure, they don't make me be in the dugout anymore.

But it's been fun this year.

I mean, that's one of the positives of my family not being out here, which has been difficult. Is my first spring training in Arizona, but I've had more time to connect with the younger guys and and spend some time at the field.

So I really, uh enjoy just.

Taking that, taking that all in, you know, and I think the perspective of where I'm at in my career, you know, I think you want to you want to enjoy it a little bit more and realize that it's not indefinite that you get to play this game. And so it's been fun being around and hanging around the park lot.

What happened Will you wear when you go into the Hall of Fame?

Oh?

Gosh? Uh?

You know, I I honestly, I I honestly do not know. I don't think I would tell you even if I did.

But it's a good problem to have justin it is a good problem to have.

You're right, you know, who could have known what would have happened in Houston when I got traded there in seventeen, you.

Know, like, uh, like how much success I was able to have?

No, like I I couldn't have forecasted that, you know, no nobody really could have. So you just I just have this mentality that, you know, just head down, I'm working hard and however far this career takes me and where it takes me, you know, when the dust settles, when I sit back and I look back, that's that's when I'll I'll ask those questions.

But yeah, I mean I get asked.

I get asked a fair amount, and and and quite frankly, I just haven't even uh tried to make that decision yet. It's obviously been thought of, but I'm trying not to make the decision.

You still have your tiger uniform, don't you. Of course I did, Yeah, and your Tiger had I have.

A lot of a lot of gear. Every year.

Every year, at the end of the season, I send it all back to my house and and just it's like, I'm honestly not looking forward to going through all of it.

Could I get the Mets gear? I mean really, that's not I mean yeah.

I'll send you something. Okay, I'll send you something.

We'll put it in the man cave here.

That sounds good, I'll send it.

Uh, Hey, have fun. Good to talk to you. Thank you again. How best to your wife?

Thank you?

All right?

Justin Erland Giants pitcher, two time World Series champ. Yeah, Kate was Uh we had her on a couple of times. Uh before or they got married with Kate Upton swimsuit mom supports till Stream. All right, we'll take a break. That phone calls coming up eight seven to seven three DP show. We're back after this.

Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

I tend to geek out on some things. And one of the things is I like when a pitcher has to work out of a jam. And I think today's pictures are taught you get into jam. We'll just bring in another picture and the older school pitcher was out there might be the fifth inning, sixth inning, maybe seventh. Maybe you're kind of holding on. You got to pitch out of the jam. You don't want to go to

Come going in?

Dan?

Hi?

Bill couch question.

At my age, you kind of round up on your height and you round down on your weight. So I'm still five to nine, I'm still above sixty five. I've got a suggestion for Marvin that he watched Hoogers, but then follow it up with the Best of Times with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell. I think that'll clean his palate.

Okay, well, thank you.

Bill.
