Miller Like, that's the type of stuff that Aaron Donald does. His passion, his aggressiveness, it's infectious to his entire team. Then if the Rams could afford to lose one player, or Aaron Donald or Sean McVeigh coach or Aaron Donald, if you if you had to lose one, let's just say hypothetical. You know that Sean went into the broadcast booth or that Aaron was considering retiring if you had to lose. Once you lose the coach, you lose that coach. Because at the end of the day, then as much as I like Sean McVeigh, he ain't out there, you know, causing disruption, taking on double and triple teams and chips and things like that. He's not doing any of that. He's sitting back reaping the benefits of having the greatest player of all time. What was Matthew Stafford's reputation before Sunday? He was tough, but a guy that was always limited because of where he played. And you know, I respected him from Afar. Never thought that he was gonna be a world champion, never thought he would get this opportunity. And you know, I hear a lot of people screaming and yelling hall of Fame, Hall of Fame, and I'm not not quite yet. Man. You still got, you know, some work that you got to put in before we start to Hall of Fame with Matthew Stafford. How what did you think of the Bengals approach to the Rams offense after ob J went out? The Bengals approached Yeah, defensively, Well, I just felt like, um, I felt like the Rams really struggle once O'Dell because I hadn't mentioned before I made my pick. I picked the Rams and I said, oh, I said O'Dell Beckham he could be Super Bowl MVP if he wins that matchup against Eli Apple. And it looked like he was on his way. A couple big catches, a touchdown catch and before you before you know it, he gets hurt. Then Matthew Stafford saw Cooper Cup getting double team and he's trying to figure out, okay, let me go to Van Jefferson, let me go to Van Jefferson, and he just couldn't get it done with Van Jefferson. So once O'Dell got taken out, he got hurt, it really changed the course of the game. And then at the end you saw Matthew Stafford say screw and I'm just gonna force the ball to Cooper Cup. Yeah. I love how people go, well, Cooper Cup's got to be MV beat because he was double teams. And I said, Aaron Donald's double teamed every time everybody. Yeah, in the first half. You know, Cooper Cup's not doubled in the first half. It was when Obj went out and They're like, we can double this guy. I just still don't understand how Eli Apple is on Cooper Cup at the goal line single cover it. Let me tell you something. It is amazing. And the defensive coordinator, lou on a Rumo, he told me before he said, hey, Eli's gotta before the game, he said, the most important matchup is Eli Apple has to match up be able to match up with Odell. And there's no way I'm taking my second or third corner and putting them on Cooper Cup on the goal line in the most critical moments of the game. And that's why I talk about, um, you know, like coaches, man, you gotta have a feel like that's Eli Apple against Cooper Cup, double team him. You can't let the Cooper Cup have that one on one matchup. It's crazy, Well reminded me, and I hate to bring it up. Ellis Hobbs on Plexico Burrs where I just went. The Super Bowl is over. Like you know, Ellis is what five eleven and Plexico is six to five and he's out there by himself and the Giant and Eli had to look over there and go, we just won the Super Bowl. Five. It's even worse than that he's like five to nine against a guy that was six to five, and you're looking like, why are we calling this play here? You're like, okay, but and you try to check it and you know what happened? Happened? Do you think Tom is truly retired? Brady? I would like to see Tom just stay the heck away from the game. What more does he have to prove? Twenty two years? Man? All those and let me tell you, Dan, the thing that you miss out on, you miss out on being able to go to your kids recitals at eleven o'clock on a Wednesday. That stuff is important man, to be able to sit there in the audience and watch your daughter. Like I've been blessed enough and fortunate enough where I don't miss any football games. I go to all the volleyball games. I go to all the recitals because you know, my time is free during the week and on the weekends, I travel. And that's something that that's time that you can never ever get back. You can't continue to acquire, you know, trophies and MVPs and put up records, but at the end of the day, you can't replace that time with your kids and your family. Yeah, I agree, but you know he's wired differently, and you know you've been doing this for thirty years. It's a sacrifice. Dan. If you want to invest more time into your job, then guess what You're gonna fill it on the back end, because your kids are gonna be like you know, daddy, Daddy, you had everything and you missed this and you couldn't make it to that. And when you play on that level, it's not just you sacrificing your entire team, your entire family, sacrifice, your wife, your kids. A lot of pressure goes on them because of your dreams and your aspirations. Thanks for joining us. She had a great season. Always great to talk to you and have fun this spring and summer with the kids. Hey, man, I appreciate it. I hate I couldn't get over to your table.

I didn't take it personally, although Chris Simms came over, and then Tony Dungee came over, and Drew Brees came over. I mean just my friends came over. Rod. Yeah, but they're not.

Mark Wahlberg, actor diehard Boston fan. His new film Uncharted hits theaters here in the United States this Friday, and he's acting with Tom Holland, who was on a roll here. And I'll let Mark tell you about the movie joints us. Now, Mark, how's morale going today? What's up, buddy? I'm feeling pretty good. How are you? I'm good. You're in New York so you got out, you didn't even experience well, you wouldn't have celebrated the Rams winning the championship, would you? No? You know, I'm happy for I got friends that are on the team. I'm happy for Odell. I'm certainly happy for Aaron, donal and and Sam. But you know, it's one of those things where I was kind of pulling for the you know, the small market team. But I really didn't have any stress. It was it was one of the more enjoyable games for me. You know, when the Patriots aren't ended, I'm a crazy I mean when the Patriots are in and I'm a crazy person. So for me, it was it was super relaxed. I didn't didn't really it was a concern one way or the other. Did you go to the game? I did. I went a couple hours early. I was doing some stuff to promote Uncharted, so I was there there, was suppressed, had some meetings with a bunch of people. I jumped from box to box. Then I left after the first quarter. I got home in time to see the halftime show, which I thought was the greatest halftime show that I had ever seen. It was fantastic. And then I watched the rest of the game, but I watched at home that had some friends over, my wife had a little super Bowl party. It was very enjoyable. What did that music mean to you growing up? The halftime show. Oh my gosh. Well, I remember the first time my brother Donnie and I were at Interscope Records and Doctor Dre came in with the Chronic and we were there and I had already had my record deal, and they were talking about whether or not they were going to do a deal with death Row, and we heard the record and just thought it was one of the best records we've ever heard. It is still one of the best records to this day. So that music is part of my child. But also to see Kendrick now, who's a new artist and so talented, I thought I thought he was one of the best highlights that And of course Mary J. Bloge, who's my absolute favorite. Mary and I did shows ninety one for like Hot ninety seven Radio and Cancoom Mexico and stuff. So for her to still be killing it as hard as she is, uh, it's absolutely amazing. Who did you open up for like that would surprise me? Oh, we opened up. Wow, we opened up for a lot of people, I would say, the big shows we were always doing with, like the radio shows. Who was like Us Boys, two Men, you know, Mary J. Blige, It was a long list. Um, you know, Oh God TLC. We are all kind of coming up at the same time. So but I opened up for the new kids. I used

to get in trouble because I would do things that we're inappropriate for younger audience over from Europe, and I would always get an earfull from from my brother. Wait, what were you doing there? Nudity? You know, calling down my pants, cursing, you know that sort of thing. I think that was cool and those days are over right, Yeah, I mean it depends one of the golf course. Still, I'm still talking about it. And I think the last time you rapp was when you were on our show five years ago. Yes with Ella, Yeah, Dad, Yeah, that was a lot of fun. Let's come a long way. By the way, she's supermature now, well behaved, thank god. Lots of prayers answered there. Okay, but you know, you have that moment where it doesn't matter if you're famous or not. To them, You're like, you're an uncool dad. You embarrass me and you say stupid things like but you gotta fight through that. You gotta hold on. You say to your wife, when does this end? Because it feels like it goes on a little too long. Yeah, it doesn't really end. Although my sons now are becoming obsessed with golf, and now that we've got real a I could play and be we get to go play really cool golf courses and they're seeing lots of cool golfers that are actually my friends that are professional. So I got a little cool factor on the golf in the golf world with my sons. I didn't know that you love to prank people so much. What's the best prank that you've pulled off? It was probably on the Dan Patrick Show when I called Pete Berg and pretend to be a guy from Louisiana and I was talking about the little altercation that happened on the plane, and Pete was trying to say that, you know, that wasn't really how it happened, and then he realized it was me. The look on his face was classic. I remember, like it was yesterday. I was in New Orleans. I think I was shooting two guns with Denzel. I was in my hotel room, so I'm watching him live as I'm calling in. That was that was pretty good. That was up there. But when you're acting with somebody like Denzel, did you ever catch yourself going I'm acting with Denzel in the moment. Well, it's happened a couple of times, whether it be would like Denzel, Jack Nicholson, Robert de vol But you know there they are such great mentors and they really you know, you could either be with somebody who's going to elevate your game and you realize that it's it's to your benefit to just kind of go there and just do your best, or you can kind of not rise to the occasion. But you only is it as the guy next to you. And to work with guys that are that talented, I always, I always get very excited about that. But they know how respectful I am, and I'm a student of the game and uh but yeah, and then of course I'm also fearless in trying anything, so uh, you know that those are some of the greatest experiences that I've had, and I carry those experiences on and and try to share those experiences when working with young actors like Tom Holland. Did you cry when Tom Brady announced he was

retiring. No, I was just happy for him. I was happy, you know, for me. He's done so much for New England, He's done so much for football. You know, for us to you know, to win that many championships, uh, you know, six titles, it's a blessing whatever he wants to do, more than supportive and and and just you know, happy for him. I was watching Perfect Storm, it was on last night, and there's there's the scene when you guys are drowning. Now, how do you how do you act like you're drowning? Well, you know, it's actually it was pretty helpful, and that we were in the tank at Warner Brothers. You've got the wave machines going the rain and all that stuff, and there are guys because the shot of me, especially when they're fading away and I'm supposed to be in the middle of the ocean. The mark itself is so critical for focus that you have guys Scooba, guys under the water holding my feet to keep me in position, but they don't realize where the waves are in relation to where my head is, so they're holding me in that position. Then when the waves go up, I'm submerged and I'm like trying to get away, and you know, swim away. That's your first instinct, right, It's to swim. But so it was it was pretty scary That was a pretty sketchy time to shoot that because I didn't want to mess up a take. Wolfgang would would not have been happy with me, our filmmaker. But was there any thought of like the ending like that? You know, we normally have Hollywood endings. I like when you have a real ending, an ending that makes you think, but you know you and George Clooney dye. Yeah, I mean, well it's a true story. You know, many many a fisherman has gone out to provide us to sim bull pleasures of eating fish for dinner and not come back, especially in the Flemish cap and uh and places like that. So you know those guys you know that are on the Andrea Gale, they didn't come back. You have this new movie with Tom Holland and he's sort of the it guy right now. Can you give him advice on dealing with whatever it is that he's going to deal with? I mean, have you been in that moment, that level where it's like whatever you do, whoever you're dating, wherever you go, TMZ, they're all there waiting for you. Yeah. I mean things have changed quite a bit with social media since I was his age, but he's had a lot of success in a very short amount of time. But he's he's comes from a great family. He really has his head on right, and he's you know, he's disciplined, he works hard. He knows that this kind of success in big ip like like Spider Man or even Uncharted, is very different from you being above the title on your own an original movie. So he's he's really out there to do great things in between that showcases talent and ability as an actor, and I think he's gonna have a very long career. Explained this movie and how it came up. So this movie actually came up in for me two thousand and nine, I just finished The Fighter. David o'russell and I attached ourselves to do and Charted. I

was playing the role of Nathan Drake. I have since now aged out to playing the Rolelly the Elder Statesman, but you know, I embraced that. It was one of those things that when I did get the call, I was a bit surprised because I'm like, all right, well we got Uncharted going again. I hope you're ready. I was like, absolutely, I'm ready. And I was like, who's the other guy, because you know, before we had de Niro. So I was like, maybe we get de Niro back, or maybe we get Jack Nicholson, or you know, somebody great and like Tom Holland, I was like, what do you mean to Holland. I had to put two and two together, and I just realized, oh my god, you want me for the old guy. But then I realized the benefits of being in the helicopter barking orders is supposed to, you know, having to be thrown out of a plane or hanging from a cable for twelve hours a day for six months. So I embraced it, and it's much better me kind of playing age appropriate roles. And imagine me trying to play the twenty five year old running around with a bad back and a bad knee. It wouldn't it wouldn't have looked good. It's a tougher to add weight or lose weight. Oh, it's much tougher to add weight. It's just it's fun for a week and then you know, I just put put thirty pounds on for a role and I'm still feeling it's just still bothering me. So I lost a weight since, But it just does a lot to your body, but nothing worse than being on a full stomach and then having to eat again. It's it's the worst. Well, that's how you win Academy awards, you know, when you have the transformation right, either lose weight or gain weight. Well, I think for me, if the role calls where I played a guy who was you know, started out as a boxer, and then he became he tried to become an actor, and then after that he wanted to go into the priesthood. After he had a terrible accident, had a visit from Mother Mary, went into the priesthood, and then he came down with a rare muscular degenitive disease IBM and his physicality basically deteriorated, but a spirituality sword. So he had put on a lot of weight and what was once this kind of you know, really kind of uh fit guy, you know, everything just kind of turned to mush and so you know I had to you know, portray that in an honest way before we let you go. Let's play the Mark Wahlberg bench contest. We did this with a lot of guys at the Super Bowl. One Rep Max m Fritzie, what are you going with Wallburg here? I'm gonna go three fifteen, three fifteen, Seaton going three twenty five, Marvin, I'm gonna go two eighty five, two eighty five, Paulie, three even three hundred for Wallburg, I'm gonna go three forty Max one Rep. Mark, Your answer is Dan, you're a pretty spot on. Three forty three forty five has been my max um. We were we were shooting painting game, we were go to the gym, and we kind of do this liftoff all the time. My buddy as who's here, he would go cold turkey right to three fifteen, and he'd bet his paycheck every time, and he got quished. He got

squished every single time. He never lifted it, but he never warmed up. I'd go, you know, one thirty five for ten, I do one five for ten, I do two twenty five for ten, and I go three fifteen, and then I go, you know, three forty three forty five. But for that I got labor him tears in both shoulders. Hey, good luck with the movie. Great to talk to you again is always my best of the family. Thank you boy. I can't wait to commence this studio.

Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Junior, a special contributor to the Super Bowl festivities to Time daytona five hundred winner. He and his wife Amy have partnered with sugar Lands to launch their own vodka brand called High Rock. I went into the mail room yesterday and I opened up the package and I go, somebody sent me vodka. I started asking, there's no note in there, and I started saying, who's sending me vodka? And then Fritzie goes Junior is. I said, all right, we'll get Junior on the phone. You got my attention with vodka there. So you and Amy are deciding to do this together. Yeah, We've been talking to Sugarlands for several years about trying to figure out what we could do together. They make a lot of different products, from moonshine to bourbon, and they got a really really cool bourbon called Roaming Man that's won a lot of awards across the country. But anyhow, they wanted to make a vodka and they make it all in house right there in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and they they just had a lot of success. So we thought, if we're going to do this, we want to do it with the right people. So it's a great product and we're real proud of it. So kind of starting to launch that slowly across the country over the next several months. We're going down to Daytona this weekend for the Daytona five hundred, and we've got a few launch parties down there in Daytona tonight and tomorrow night, so it should be a lot of fun. So I think it'll be. I think it'll be a pretty good success. What did you drink after you'd win a race? When I would win a race, then the adrenaline's pumping through your body no matter where you finished,

you couldn't go to sleep, and you you know, so I always went home and I'd stay up till two, three, four o'clock in the morning, just trying to calm down, and I drank beer, Budweiser, bud Light. I was pretty loyal to Budweiser because they were so great to me early in my career, and that's what i'd still drink to day and housing Bush products. When it comes to beer, well, when you get into the Winter's Circle champagne, you're actually drink in the champagne or just sprayed on you, you almost feel obligated to take a drink of it. Right. You like to spray it everywhere, right, get it all over the place. But it's sort of involves it. It's a great way to get everyone involved in the celebration. If there's no confetti, you want to spray champagne on everybody, but you feel obligated to drink some of the champagne. It's baby bad luck if you don't have a drink of the champagne from bottle. Did you ever screw up the sponsors after you win and you want to thank everybody. I don't think I ever made a mistake that I can remember, but you often forgot to mention your sponsors, and they want you to mention them right every opportunity, every interview, if they come up to interview before the race, before qualifying, after anything you've ever done, uh, they want you to mention your spot sponsors. And I was never really good at that, but I kind of got a pass um uh with with that kind of thing. And we were doing so much um oh oh, I just saw them. I saw your daughter, tell Amy heard her coming. I heard the little bit of patter of the feet coming. I'm like, okay, we're getting ready to introduce you to Nicole. Let me let me see her. She done took off, she's she's she doesn't took off around the corner. But no, that's I think, was it? Amy? Grabbed her. That was Tammy. Tammy. Tammy helps out around. Okay, she's your crew chief around them. Yeah, keep thinking straight around here are our drivers made? Are you born a driver or do you become a driver? You know, I think it depends. I think when you if you're family raced like mine did, it's uh, it's very you know, it's common to hear people say, man, you were born into this, and you really are. You're You're you're you you are what you're exposed to. Right, So if you're born in an environment, you kind of are infect you know that you're kind of infected with that passion and you're you're you're steered, uh to be interested in certain things that you're exposed to. So if you grew up around racing, here's race jop in the backyard and there's race cars around all the time, Yeah, you're born into it. But when you look at a guy. For example, my career kind of paralleled with a guy named Matt Kinsis and we were pretty good friends, and he was not born into it. Racing was something he discovered and you know, he was sort of a he didn't have a last name like me, and he didn't have all the keys to all the doors to unlock and walk right through. And he was kind of a self made racer and had to learn the craft and develop his skills really from his own experiences. And so it just depends really about you know where you are and who you are and who you know and what you're exposed to at a very young age. But do you think your daughters are going to have that racing gene? No, you know, I don't. I don't know that. I don't know that you have the gene. I don't know that there's a there's a certain real attribute that you can you can be born with. It makes you're a great race car driver. I think that you know, you just either have it or you don't, and you can develop talent, but you have to go out there and you have to drive, and you definitely need people around you that are helping you understand the mistakes you're making on the race track and why you need to do certain things, and how to run the line and how to get around the track and go fast. Some people, I mean, it's been the hardest thing to really understand. You'll you'll see a guy race and they will be so fast and there's no explanation for why they're this good. Like Kyle Larson, for example, right where did his ability come from? This guy can win and drive anything on dirt, any type of horsepower, any type of car. He seems to excel. Kyle Bush is the same way. They just have this real raw ability to connect to the car. And I always felt like that the best way to describe it was is when you're when things are working really good, you and the car almost feel like one thing, right you almost it fits you like a glove, and you that car is like an extension of you. It's like your arm or your leg. You know how to work and move it just like you've been living with it your entire life. And so there's moments where you'll see that in certain drivers, and those are those are the elite ones. Though. You know, there's guys that are good, there's guys that are pretty decent, and there's guys that are talented. But then there's this one little group that just has something special that everyone else doesn't have, you know, and it's a rare, once in a generation kind of talent. Could you drive any racetrack? Is there a racetrack you could drive? One lap? With your eyes closed. Yeah. I mean, I think when we raced at Daytona and Talladega, when you know, when you're in the lead of the draft and you got forty you know cars behind you, you're looking in the mirror. You know, you're driving the race car looking out the windshield, but you're also looking the mirror, watching what's going on behind you. Probably three quarters of the lap, you might run almost a whole lap like watching that mirror. And the great thing that we develop as drivers, and I think that probably all athletes have this ability, especially I would assume like a cornerback in the NFL would have amazing peripheral vision and they can actually focus on an object in front of them or a person, but also see other things happening around them and make adjustments based on what they see in their peripheral vision. And that's what a race car driver does. And so I can look

in the mirror and really focus on trying to defend anything that's coming from behind me to maintain the lead. But also as I'm focusing on that, I'm actually still seeing what's out the windshield in my prefuel vision and understanding where I'm at on the racetrack. So yeah, it's it's it's a pretty uh, it's a pretty interesting thing when you think about it. But when you do something for so many years, you develop those type of skills. He's Dale Junior. He and his wife Amy have partnered with Sugarlands to launch their own vodka brand called High Rock. Visit high Rock vodka dot com. How often would you flip somebody off when you were driving? Um? I probably did it that. See, flipping somebody off is it's pretty bad? Oh okay, yes, well you know it's in a race car. You're not able to speak to each other, right, I can't. I can't cush you out. If you're in another car and we're banging and you did something I'm mad about, I can't cush you, and so really slipping you off is about the only thing I can do to show you that I'm angry. And Well, you can bump into somebody, Well yeah I can do that. Yeah, but I I like how that's acceptable. But hey, you can bang into my cart, just don't flip me off, because then I'm really I've never I've never really understood this, but I learned this from guys like Rusty Wallace. And the people that uh, you know, I grew up watching that. For some reason, that sets you, that sets them off. You know that for some reason, that's a very unethical thing to do. Now, outside of the racetrack, by all means, you know, everybody flipping everybody off, no big deal, um, given the bird is you know what you would expect in any other circumstance. But on the racetrack, for some reason, when you get flipped off, it sends you into a rage. And unlike any other situation. Uh, and you you don't want to be flipped off. I don't know why that's such a big deal. On the racetrack. For some reason, that's super that's way more offensive. And you're racing the race car to be flipped off than it is to be flipped off in any other scenario. I don't really know how to understand, you know, how to articulate that or explain why that's the case. But you your football team is now known as the Commanders, Junior. Are you okay with that? It is what it is is happening, right, So that's not a raining endorsement, are you? Well? All right? So I'll be honest, like I was hoping it would be the Warriors, because that sounded like, um easy, it's easy, Washington Warriors. That was an easy thing to say. I knew that it was probably unlikely because you know, somebody's out there trademarking and copyrighting and you know, trying to you know, trying to get a pile of cash for the rights to use something like that. And I have no idea how they determined or decided on Commanders. I don't, I was. I don't know how those meetings went. I was, I had no clue what the name was up until everyone else found out at the same time. And uh, I don't you know. I think I wasn't super

in love with it at first, but I wasn't in love with Washington football team either when it first came out, right, And then a year later, here we are going, well, I'm kind of okay with that now. I was just, you know, I was just leave leave it football team. That's good. Well, we weren't thinking that a year ago. We hated it, right or two years ago, and so, you know, Commanders sounded weird at first, but I think with each passing day it gets normalized and it gets okay, right, it gets and look at it. I mean when you really think about it. Uh, you know, looking at all the other teams names, I mean, they're not extraordinary. There's nothing, you know, there's nothing that really jumps off the page when you look at all the they're just names. And if if they ever came up for sale, Yeah, would you be a part of I don't have that kind of money, Uh dan No, I mean this is billions of dollars. This is gonna take part of a group. I wouldn't. I don't know that i'd be interested. I don't know that i'd be interested in that, to be honest with Yet, you know, it would be such a I would be such a small fraction of the ownership that it wouldn't I don't know what I would get out of that. And and you know, as far as enjoyment and so forth, I love being a fan. I want to stand. I want to I want to be in the stands with all the other fans. I want to wear the merch and I want to be mad when they lose, and I want to cheer when they win. And I want to go to the you know, I want to go to the We got There's a guy in Charlotte here that that uh has a you know, they designate a Washington Commander's bar.
