you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

It's the final hour on this Friday. It's a meat Friday at that in case you're

wondering. Trigger grills are all fired up. We have grilled beef sliders. Thai

sweet chili wings, buffalo chicken dip, pigs in a blanket. Who has it better than

we do? Nobody. We'll check in with Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's now with Amazon Prime.

They're Thursday night football analyst here in a moment. Let me do some

paperwork. Only today we're doing this and it's a great cause. Donating proceeds

from our merchandise, the tunnel to towers foundation, tunnel to towers, made

the commitment to never forget 9 11 for more information or to donate directly.

You can do that at tunnel to towers foundation t2t dot org letter t number two

letter t dot org. It's bringing Ryan Fitzpatrick who just announced his

retirement and he are you officially retired like retired retired sent in your

paperwork. I'm gonna have to check on the paperwork stuff but I I'm officially

if I would have been able to get there. Is there a hit that you remember that

still hurts? Yes, there are two hits that still hurt every time I get out of bed.
