Guaranteed human. Why should you listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand? We're not boring. A lot of news is boring. And tedious. And depressing. And makes you angry. You don't want to live your life like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We try to bring you the truth. And help you figure out this crazy modern world.
How about something about a comedic tone? Ha ha!
Have a winner. Yes. Listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. The lake looks great, but I'm told it is freezing. I talked to somebody yesterday, and they said, do you know that lake is really cold? And I go, yes. Nobody told us. It looks really refreshing. I said, well, where do you think they're getting the water from? Probably the snow on the mountains. And I think there's some shrinkage that went on yesterday. Yes, Dylan. It's kind of crazy because if you look at the color of the water, it looks like the Caribbean. So you're like, that must be a nice warm water. It's not at all.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. We'll talk to the head coach of the world champion Seattle Seahawks, Mike McDonald. Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings head coach, will join us. And we'll talk about the open competition at the quarterbacking position for the Minnesota Vikings. Also, Austin Reeves of the Lakers set to join us tomorrow. Steve Young, he is here participating. We'll talk to the Hall of Famer as well. And scheduled to talk to the commissioner, Kathy Engelbert, the commissioner of the WNBA. Yes, Todd? We saw her last night, and she was very kind. She apologized for not being able to join us on yesterday's show, and so this should happen.
Okay. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome. Caitlin Clark was kind of back last night. She had limited minutes. The back issue. But set to talk to the WNBA commissioner tomorrow on the program. 877-3DP-SHOW. Email address dp at danpatrick.com. Twitter handle at dpshow. World Cup today. France and Morocco. That's the only match. Justin Verlander announces that he will retire tomorrow. And he'll retire as a first ballot Hall of Famer. And we started looking at some of the pitchers who might be now we're talking starting pitching. I don't know how we're going to be able to look at numbers moving forward and say, OK, what is the line now? Imagine pitchers who didn't get in. And because of their numbers compared to their constituents, their fellow competitors, now they miss their time on the ballot.
Now maybe the Veterans Committee will put some of these pitchers in who put up really impressive numbers, but they didn't get in because at the time you were looking at their numbers and you go, oh, you only have 240 wins. Now... 240 wins, your first ballot Hall of Famer. But for Justin Verlander, quite a career, and we'll announce his retirement. Dylan, poll question from hour one. What are we going with in hour two? Well, Dan, from hour one, how comfortable are you approaching a celebrity? Very, we're all humans, or much trepidation? 56% say much trepidation. I like that Todd puts in there, we're all humans.
If you think about it, if you get nervous about, you know, public speaking or meeting a person, if you think for a second, we're just all people with, you know, we put our shirts on, pants on, same way we do and all that kind of stuff. You know what I'm saying? That was your opportunity to do your Lou Holtz thing. Oh, I know.
You're not going to do it with me. No, no. I'm the host here. All right? Yeah.
Why are you? I queued you up to do your thing. I know.
Thank you, Todd. I don't need to. Yes, Pauline. They can get more awkward, though, by where you are.
I was in the bathroom at the event last night at the urinal, and I go to wash my hands, confirmed, and I look to my left, and it's Sean McDonough. And he actually said, hey, like he watches the show. And I was like, I wasn't going to say hi while you're at the urinal.
