I want to run some numbers by you guys as Mike Ryan. And thank you for the clarification, Jess. It is not a pet as in the Greg Cody household where they refer to farts as the letting of a pet. It's the actual loss of a pet, which is where Mike Ryan lost me and went a bridge too far. However, an article that I read, OK, about a pill and there are a lot of ethical questions around it.
It's called Loyal. It can extend the life of your pets. And when they did ransom numbers, I was surprised by a couple of things. First of all, 47 percent of American households have a dog. Stunned by that. I did not think it would be that high. At Levitard Show, 47 percent under or over American households that have a dog.
I'm not even familiar.
47% sounds ridiculous.
The other number that surprised me, and again, it's an ethical debate because the pill has not been FDA approved, but it is lengthening the lives of pets. And this particular pill, some of the testing that they've done, 76% of pet owners, three quarters of pet owners, would go into debt for their pet. What? What are you laughing about?
Three quarters of pet owners, and I'm assuming birds are in here, too? I love animals that way, but debt? Mike Ryan is concocting the scenario where you have to throw your pet in the street because you've been fired from your job.
Jessica, some of your coworkers yesterday got together for a party and I'm sorry I did not make it. I wished to make it, but I was told very late in the proceedings that such a party existed and I missed it in the slack. I don't know where it was in the slack. Who attended that moved you?
Just another Tuesday in Miami. Were you surprised by any of those numbers? 76% of pet owners would go into debt for their dog. Would you go into debt for Willow?
So bad to get fired because you might lose your pets. Yeah. Greg, how is it, Chris, and you help me with this because we have not done enough of a job today promoting your father's exactos and your father's mock draft and your father's podcast, the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody.
But you have seen, Chris, you've been front row seat witness to today's show through Stan and Samson, careened live out of control for a long time, and your dad spun out. And then he spun out and tried to leave the studio, didn't know how the penalty box worked anymore, and tried to leave through a door as if he didn't understand how doors work.
Okay, very good. I'm glad we finally closed the loop on that. One thing that I wanted to do here today before we got out of here is to remember and celebrate because the sports machine, can move very fast, and it seems, I don't think I have this wrong, more often than not, we're talking around here about somebody who died. I don't know if it's more often than not.
It's too often. More often than we ever have, we're stopping to take a somber tone about somebody who left a mark on us in the sports world when Mike Patrick,
During a time in football when it was growing in this country, when ESPN had the kind of signature voice for 18 straight years on Sunday Night Football because ESPN was getting into the football game, making it bigger and bigger in America, one of the signature voices was Mike Patrick. And quietly... a great broadcaster for 20 years on Sunday Night Football.
Somehow, I would say, escaped much of the withering criticism that will come down on the head of every broadcaster today, including Al Michaels, because, oh, your tone's not good there. Your energy's not good. You sound like an old man. Get out of the way, old man. Mike Patrick, universal praise, dies at the age of 80.
And Mike, I don't know what you associate with him, but what I associate with him is talking to him, hearing his dulcet voice, and then being surprised when he said what a rigorous smoker he was. That just being taken aback, just assuming that he would be somebody who would always protect those blessed pipes.
Do you know how rare it is these days when criticism is the main sport to be a broadcaster that can live your lifespan and then die? And you will not hear very much of a bad word as any of that was happening. Like even Joe Buck, like a child prodigy, is viewed as someone that, oh, he doesn't root for my team or he's partial.
If you're always broadcasting the games, I just, I don't think that people understand how difficult it is to be someone who is quietly professional in the broadcast space, never to look at me. So it never becomes Gus Johnson or whatever it is has personality that, evolves the game, but doesn't stay totally out of the way of the game.
Because Mike Patrick was sort of like Vern Lundquist in this space where you're like, oh my God, his voice reminds me of a Saturday afternoon or a Sunday night. Raspy, it seems like he's got a drink in his hand. It sounds like he might be wearing a colorful broadcaster coat, and I might hear the tinkle of a glass of ice.
Who's allowed to skate now? I say this, I'm asking you guys this question genuinely. Who's allowed to skate as a broadcaster who lives an entire lifespan on a stage as large as something like 18 years on Sunday Night Football? Because you guys saw how the fangs came out for Dick Vitale and Lee Corso. Like, you're not... Mike Patrick bowed out before the criticism got to him.
