Speaker 2 (00:04):
So you're saying they have a chance. Come on in
Dan and the Danis dan Patrick Show. NBA Finals tonight.
And the Pacers are a historical underdog against the thunder
not just in game one, whether nine and a half
point underdog started out at nine, but the entire series.
We'll talk about that coming up. The Oilers in overtime,
(00:27):
they go up one to ohero in the Stanley Cup
Final against Florida. They're down three goals, and I went,
Florida will not give up the lead. They will not
lose this. They're Florida. They don't do this. They're the
defending champs, they got all this experience. But you can't
stop Leon Dreisidel. You can only hope to contain him.
And it sounded like this last night out.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Of the park. Who sharp Chin Hopkins wi it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Where's the comment? It's great? It was great, but it went,
you know, they're down three, and then I went, oh boy,
uh it was three to one, and then I go,
oh boy, they're not going to come back from this.
(01:18):
And because I just thought, you know, Florida, that's they're
built like this. They do the they come they have
the comebacks. But give credit Edmonton. That was a lot
of fun. And uh on your home ice and you're
down three to one and you start to go, oh no,

(01:40):
Connor McDavid to Leon Dry title. We only mentioned Leon
Dry Sidle when we get to the postseason. It's one
of the three best hockey players in the world, so
I'm told, And Connor McDavid is the best hockey player,
maybe the most talented hockey player of all time, or
so i'm told.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, Paul, it's such a funny thing that people don't
see during our commercial breaks.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
You walk around here any time of year.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It could be summer, it could be winter, and you
just go dry, yes, you screaming like there's a goal happening.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And then Seaton has the Leon Dry Sidle goal scoring
voice down is.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Not an actual call, not an actual call.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's pretty close though, Uh, Leon dreice title. Yeah, all right, so,
uh hockey last night? You got basketball coming up tonight.
My Rockies have won three in a row, I said,
to Fritzi, I said, reach out to the Rockies play
by play voice, Jack Corgan. Let me see if we
could get Jack on. Now, this is before they went
on the three game winning streak, and I'm like, have
(02:39):
you mo on? What's it like to go to the
ballpark knowing that your team is probably going to lose
and you don't want to bring your work home? But
how do you not bring your work home if you're
the voice of the Colorado Rockies. Well, they've won three
in a row, So I guess I'm their good luck
charm Because Jack Corgan, the Colorado Rockies play by play voice,

I mentioned the over or the point spread was pacers
are getting nine and a half Shay Gilges Alexander over
(03:43):
under Marvin. I'll start with you.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Thirty one and a half, all right, Paul twenty nine
and a half, Todd twenty eight and a half, Seaton
thirty two point five, thirty three and a half, thirty
three and a half.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And in case you're one undering, Tyree's Halliburton over under.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Paul twenty five and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Marvin.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Twenty three and a half, Todd twenty six and a half.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Seedon seventeen in one half, woloo.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Tyreese Halliburton is not their score. That's Pascal Siakam and EVP. Yeah.
Tyrese Haliburton, by the way, didn't make the All Star team,
but he did make the Olympic team. You know when
you talk about star power and you're like, okay, you
know SGA, SGA of course, MVP and scoring champ, all
(04:36):
the different things that have gone to him this season.
But Tyree's Halliburton, who had a great month and a half.
He was not an All Star this year. The Commissioner
of the NBA, Adam Silver, was on Fox Sports One
and he brought up what we've been bringing up for
quite some time now, and I think they're going to
(04:56):
do it the All Star Game format next.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Year as part of our new media deals. The All
Star Game returns to NBC, where it was when we
were younger. And it so happens that next season will
be smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Some
fact that the game will be on NBC and the
very day we're on they'll be the lead in will
be Winter Olympic events. And then coming out of the
All Star Game, which is not going to be in
the afternoon instead of the evening, there'll be more Olympic events.
(05:21):
So what better time to feature some form of USA
against the world. I'm not exactly sure what the format
will be yet. I mean, obviously paid a lot of
attention to what the NHL did, but also you know,
going back, you know last summer, our Olympic competition was
a huge success.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, and I think the commissioner admitted that he saw
the four Nations with hockey and the excitement that you
had with that, and you know, United States against Canada,
certainly helps. But this is what I've been pushing for.
What else are you going to do here? I don't
wanted to devolve into what you know, the NFL's All
(05:59):
Star Game is, you know, the Pro Bowl. I don't
want that. I do like the skills competition, some of
the skills competition, but let's try it. Let's just see
you're going to get at least some kind of competitiveness.
You'll have certainly pride, and that's all we care about.
When you watch, you want to know. If they care,
(06:21):
then all care. But if you watch and you realize
they don't care, then I don't. But this, I'd be
curious just to see how the rest of the world reacts. Now.
Team USA might not get caught up in this until
they lose the All Star Game, and then it might
get a little momentum. The Team USA would probably well,
(06:44):
they will have a deeper roster, but they won't have
the best players because the best players are not from
the United States. The starting five from around the world
will be better than the starting five from Team USA.
But I want to see what happens as the game
goes a lot, because that's when you start to get
the competitive and you know, this is down through history
(07:07):
where you get guys that maybe didn't care as much,
but then they cared because the game was on the line.
Hopefully you have that. And I don't know what Plan
B is going to be to spice up the All
Star Game, but to me, it's a glorified layup line
and I'd like to see just a little bit. I'd
like to see a little bit of competition, that's all.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Yeah, I Martin, Well, probably from who, Like I'm not
sure if Joker and Luca care whether the world beats us,
they care about Slovenia winning.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, but you're representing your country, are they? Yeah? I
think so. I mean, you're it's us against the world
and you know, or it's it's them against the United States.
I mean, I think and it says a lot of
where basketball has come, where it was around the world
to where it is now. You could go to to
(08:00):
toe with the best players, and that says something about
what the Dream Team and the impact that the Dream
Team had. So yeah, I think there's pride because remember
all those teams that got slaughtered by the Dream Team,
and those countries said, okay, now we know what we
have to do We've we measured ourselves against the best
best team ever assembled. Now we can go back and
(08:23):
they have these academies. Now it was important, it's important
to all these countries. And I would think, you know,
Canadian basketball, we don't. We never talked about Canada with basketball.
But Vince gets there. I mean, you have Steve Nash there.
All of a sudden, you get a trickle down effect,
and we don't look at Canada and say, oh, he's
a basketball player from Canada. I mean, sga, he went
(08:45):
to Kentucky. Nobody goes, oh, he's from Canada. Yeah, yes, he.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Yeah, I kind of I'd see what Marvin is saying that,
you know, I don't know that I think that Americans
view it everything as America and the rest of the world.
But I don't know that the rest of the world
just seize themselves as one big thing that's not American.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You know.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
So I think that there's a lot more pride. If
you take a Serbian guy, I think being Serbian means
a hell of a lot to him, you know, and
representing Serbia means a lot more than just being lumped
in with the rest of the guys from the world.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But if they're not forced to play against the Team USA.
But if if that's that's the way the format is
going to be, then I think there's going to be
that pride of what our how far our countries have come,
how far the world has come. At least that's what
I'm hoping for. You know, maybe it maybe it's just
(09:38):
me rooting for something that something interesting.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Yes, just please, just please care. I gotta love this.
You're gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Come on that fun Hey, Luca, Luca, listen, Luca, put
the beer down. Okay, now I want you to really
care about this. Put the hookah down, Yes, Marmon.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
The pressure is gonna be on those second tier guys
from the international squad that make the team that didn't
deserve to be All Stars. They have to play hard
because Adam Silver's gonna be like, why are you eating?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Those guys are gonna play hard.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
They better and they better play well.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Team USA's got the pressure on them.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Because if Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum come in as
a second string guy and tear Josh Giddy apart, like
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, do we get shake Gildos Alexander? Yes, Okay, So
it's Canada. Okay, So it's North America versus international, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
The United States versus the world.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
So we don't get That's why I asked.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I said, do we get Shake Gildess Alexander or did
they get.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Oh no, they do them. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's Canada.
We don't. We haven't gotten Canada.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yet because he went to high school. Yeah, two years
of high school in America, doesn't matter. I thought maybe
we could acquire Shake Guilgess.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No, no, no, no, no, it's it's the United States
and then everybody else. He went to college in the
United States, that doesn't matter. He's from Canada, nash Once
come out of retirement, he can play for Team Canada.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They might need him.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah. Leo Routins, Remember Leo was wasn't he the first
guy it felt like from Canada that we're like, hey,
Leo Routins, man from Canada played at Syracuse. It was
his number thirteen. I think, so, well, that's so random
Leo Routins and he's one of the first great shooting
(11:24):
big men. And you're right about that. Yeah, So but
I do like that. I do like that. You know,
here we had the possibility of something to watch. I mean,
I wouldn't watch normally, but this I'll watch. Adam Silver
also talked about comparing the NBA Finals to the super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
That's one thing I really admire about the NFL. I mean,
if if we were going into a Super Bowl and
it was Packers against Steelers, you guys would be celebrating that.
Nobody would. Those would be storied franchises. People wouldn't be
talking about mart the fact that Pittsburgh is a small market.
So I'm happy whatever team ends up in the finals.
But it's been intentional from our standpoint to create a system,
(12:04):
a collective bargaining agreement that allows more teams to compete.
And just by way of background, you know, we're going
to have to go through a process of getting to
the point where people are accustomed to tuning into the
finals because it's the two teams that deserve to be
there and it's the best basketball. Similar to again with
the super Bowl. If I asked somebody they were going
(12:24):
to watch the super Bowl, they wouldn't say who's playing?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
It's a national holiday.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well. Also, what hurts that analogy is if it was
one game, Okay, now, there would be greater interest because
you don't know how it goes for a couple of weeks.
Super Bowl is one game, one and done. That's why
we love March Madness. It's one and done. With the
you know, World Series or playoffs best to seven, the
(12:49):
NBA Finals best to seven. If you add one game tonight,
I'd love to know what that audience what what would
be the estimated audience no matter who's playing, but if
you're watching and you know, the championship will be decided.
So that's and plus, you know NFL fans, your fandom
is passed down from generation to generation to generation. So
(13:10):
if you say Pittsburgh and Green Bay, well, how far
does that go back with your fandom? Okay, see how
far does that go back? Not too far. I don't
think Seattle Supersonic fans are going man, let me tell
you the days about Okay, I mean nobody cares Pacers
a great basketball tradition with the ABA, but you know,
(13:33):
football is just different because it's one game a week.
It's so important. One game and then you get six
days to talk about it. Then one game and everybody
plays every game, and then you're going to play for
a championship and it's one game. That's why it's a
national holiday, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
And in the NFL, the Super Bowl matchup isn't important
no matter who it is we're watching, you know, like
with the MLB last year the Dodgers, Oh thank goodness. Yeah,
because I couldn't do Royals Giants. Yeah, So it doesn't
matter in the NFL what the matchup is, especially with
two story franchises like Green Bay and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I mean, and that's the magic of the NFL. That's
the power of the NFL. We watch, you know, Thursday night,
it could be Carolina against Tampa Bay. All right, if
you can figure out how to find Amazon, then you'll
watch that. But you know, football is different. We gamble
on football. There's fantasy with football, and that's it's just
(14:34):
it's a behemoth. All right. Well take a break here.
Todd has a song about these small market teams. Okay.
I didn't know anybody asked for that. Oh they didn't,
okay at all. I just wanted to make sure that
it did. Somebody on the other side say, Todd, why
don't you whip up a small market song for the
two teams in the NBA Final.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
That is some of that just did not happen.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Okay, all right, so how about we take a break?
Is that?
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
We probably share, okay, but you can get ready, you
probably stay and break.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
While I'm saying the song should be a break.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Have you rehearsed this song?
Speaker 11 (15:08):
No, I just read it to myself a couple of times.
I wrote it yesterday before the show. I wasn't truf
you're going to do it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Or TeX's what I love about you? No preparation. Do
you need music? Do you need anything that we can
You know, Marvin's gonna do a little work here.
Speaker 11 (15:22):
For the average person, music would be an enhancement and
help the singer. I've proven that it actually hurts me
in some way that I can't stay with the tune.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay, just messing with that is too. That is true.
You can't carry you too. But all right, So when
we come back the NBA Final Small Market Team song
that you didn't know you need. We're back after this
on the Dan Patrick Show.

Tyler sitting by seven seven to three DP show. There
are a lot of people surprised when I gave you
the DraftKings odds for next year. To win the NBA Championship,
it's the Thunder by a long shot, and then the
Nixon Pacers are tied. It's second, followed by the Timberwolves
(17:13):
and the Cavaliers. No sign of the Boston Celtics. All right,
Todd has a song about these small market teams with
the NBA Finals. Now is this sung to a certain
tune that we might be familiar with.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Hopefully you're familiar with the down Easter Alexa by Billy Joel.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Some may so not.
Speaker 11 (17:35):
I know I date things a lot, and I'm living
in the eighties and nineties, but that was a pretty
popular song and hopefully you know that you'll appreciate it
based on that song.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Is what I just came to me a couple of
nights ago, and I have to put.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Some wordstan ladies and gentlemen, Todd Fritz.
Speaker 14 (17:50):
Well, I'm not watching Pacers and Thunder. I've got more
important things to do. Lock obsessive, compulsedly washing my hands
and retiring one hundred times my shoe. I'm just a
man who hadn X first Lakers dreams. Can't get excited
(18:12):
by these two small market teams.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
This type of matchup.
Speaker 14 (18:16):
Is really not for me, even though one.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Team's got the MVP.
Speaker 14 (18:23):
So I won't be watching Pay Susan Thunder. I'll just
find something else on TV. And I'm sure there are
several others network executives crying just like me. You'll find
me elsewhere when these two take the cord.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Can't get pumped up.
Speaker 14 (18:44):
For Obi topping on loudot no, no, no, no, how.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Did this happen?
Speaker 14 (18:50):
Yes, it's really kind of said the big storyline Halliburton
and his dad. So I'm passing on Pay Susan Thunder,
and I invite.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You as well to do so, or you.
Speaker 14 (19:06):
Can sit through chiyakum in them hard faint interest in
home grin Caruso. I'll shift my focus to something else
that should entice panthers and oilers for the.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Coup is on the ice.
Speaker 14 (19:20):
Yes, I'm not watching Pay Susan Thunder. I'll explore other
ways to get kicks now invested in wi in softball
and wondering who's going to coach the Knicks? No no, no, no,
no no no.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Alrighty okay, because that's probably what I was saying throughout
the entire song was no no, no, no, no no, all right.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I put you through that.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, that came to you, uh, in a dream.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Like two in the morning a few nights ago. I'm like,
I don't know why.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
I was thinking, like, how about a small market team song,
and down Easter Alexa was in my head.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
I'm like, let's see to something different.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, Paul, you talked just yesterday about how musicians write
a song In fifteen minutes, Todd told me the genesis
of that opus and two in the morning awoken from
a dream and he wrote it. I completely appreciate the
effort you do, yes, because I love the loud dort rhyme.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And to wait a long time to get to loud
dort rhyme.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
He does sound like Billy Joel, like has like a
pulled muscle in his stomach and can't really hit the notes.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But a for effort man.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, well, thank you. Ton Norm in Indiana, Hi Norm,
Hi dB.
Speaker 15 (20:39):
First time long time five seven one sixties. I have
a poem. I'd like to read to you a poem. Yeah,
and it's I'm not going to use a scratchy voice
like Todd, so it's a little long. Let me know
when if you'd like me to keep going, I'll stop
halfway through.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 15 (20:58):
Twenty five winners, twenty five spring since Indie dreamt on
basketball wings. A city that whispered one day again now
shouts enjoy through streets and men. The Pacers rise, proud
and true, with hard stitched tight and gold and blue
no longer echo the past acclaim Tonight they play a
finals game, and leading them so calm, so bright is
(21:19):
Tyrese Haliburton, our guiding light with vision, sharp and spirit,
kind a poet with a point guard's mind. Would you
like me to keep going?
Speaker 10 (21:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I think we got the gist of it. But you're
a Pacer fan. You know what I'd like to do, Norm,
is uh, if you'll give the entire poem to Tyler,
I would put it in the newsletter that we send
out every night to about eighty thousand of our fans
who have signed it for the newsletter. Can we do that?
Speaker 15 (21:47):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, thank you, Norman, Good luck to your pacers tonight.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yes, Paul, that guy tried to follow Todd.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, GOTSI yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Yeah, I should have sung it at should have sung it?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah. Okay, what's poll question today? Seat? At least for
the first hour.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Oh dear, I'm so glad that you asked. And who
are non Edmonton Canadian hockey fans rooting for?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We opened up this Pandora. No, I don't want to
say Pandora because then you're gonna play Pandora. Oh all right,
give me a little Pandora status day. I just envisioned
her lying on the top of a piano cigarette smoke.
(22:40):
What was that The Fabulous Baker Boys with Michelle Pfeiffer
Man Michelle Fifer One seat Jesus, I know, but just
seat's doing? Are you doing? Pandora?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah it is yes, similar facial hay.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You know, if we go back to Vegas, Pandora has
to join us on the show.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
We got to get a stage, We gotta get some lights,
maybe some tigers.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, what about Siegfried and Roy's tigers? What are they
doing now? Barvin? You were going to say something?
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Can I just get a shirt that says, oh, Dan,
give us perfect.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
All right, what's the poll question? Satan. By the way,
Paulie said, you didn't say what how you felt about
Todd's song. I always appreciate your effort, your creativity. I
don't think you sing as well as you think you sing.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Shower, I mailed. Actually, I didn't even sing.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
In the show. Yeah. I the water would turn off
if you sang like that. Yeah, but uh, you know,
I like the effort and the creativity, and I think
that's what makes you unique. There's nobody like you who
does this, you know, morning radio and singing poorly.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Take that, I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yes, Yes, there's a.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Compliment in there.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
There there, there is your creativity. I'm always fascinated by
all right, Seaton.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
By the way, we just got this from Oswald on
social media. I'm a fritzy apologist, but that song is
making me wonder if I need to change my stance. Okay,
just saying, and.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't want to lead the audience. I appreciate the
creativity that you woke up in the middle of the
night and uh you you penned that song.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
I did lose four hundred followers on social media in
the last five minutes, so that's kind of weird.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I don't know if that's a good sign.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Which is weird because I didn't think you had four
hundred to lose.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, it's interesting. I think that social media is a
great outlet for that type of creativity. Todd, hmm, oh,
you should just push that content on social and grind numbers.
That that's I think that's a great idea. Yeah, go ahead, Todd.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Don't respond kindly.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yes, they could start a TikTok just for your songs. Yeah,
just singing your songs and social media is so kind.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah, I hope I can win Oswald back.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
It's all I could. All right, what else do you
have there? We have not envonton Canadian hockey fans. Who
are you rooting for the Oilers or the Panthers? Were
is a very select group of people.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes, yeah, we talked about this last year and I
thought maybe because the United States has kind of grabbed
the sport, and you know, Tampa and Florida have been
dominant over the last six years, making it to the
Stanley Cup finals. But you haven't won since Montreal and
what ninety two ninety three that you would be if
(25:53):
I'm Canadian? Do I do I care that it's Edmonton?
Can I root for my country more than I'm rooting
for Edmonton. I mean, I can't imagine people in Montreal
and Toronto going, yeah, you know what'd be nice if Edmonton.
I wouldn't look at it that way. It would be
that you're bringing the cup back to Canada.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yes, So if you're a fan of Calgary Flames, or
I think Vancouver Canucks are their biggest rivals, you can't
put aside you're dislike for the Oilers for the good
of Canada and Canadian hockey.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I think you can. If you're.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I don't think you can.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It doesn't feel great. It's a bit of a like
damned if you do. But I would want Canada win
over Florida for God's.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Sakes, man, don't I don't think that if I was
in Calgary or Calgary and or Vancouver, I couldn't go.
You know what, I'm okay if Edmonton wins, because then
we all win.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
What about karma?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
If it was the other way around, and you're in
Vancouver and you hope that if it's our turn, they'll.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Root for us, No, no, no, they're not. No, that's
not big.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I can't imagine, like, are we rooting as Americans Florida winning? Like,
how important is it that the Cup stays here?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I guess what, it's not our sport. It can't mean
as much.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
It's kind of become our sport. Jack, we kind of
hijack this thing. But I don't know. What do you think, Fritzi?
Do you think that Canada is rooting for Edmonton?
Speaker 14 (27:26):
No?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
But they should.
Speaker 11 (27:28):
I think they all have their regions and provinces and
they root for their team and they don't want to
see them hold the cup if it's not theirs.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
But I think they should all band together.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
And what about U Seton.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
I think that there are some fan bases not but
by and large they all are.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Okay, Marvin, No, because if I'm a Canadians fan, the
Oils winning the Cup doesn't mean me feel any better.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But the Cup comes back to your country, Okay, all right?
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I don't know if there's a close cop here in America,
but this is the closest I could come up with.
If you're an SEC football fan and you're a fan
of Alabama, Alabama, you don't make the title game, and
Georgia makes the title game against Michigan. Who are you
rooting for Georgia or Michigan. Mm, for the good of
the SEC and the good of all of the SEC,
(28:18):
you don't root for Georgia to take down Michigan.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I don't know if they could if.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Okay, if you're an Ohio State fan and Michigan's playing
in the National Championship Game, you're not rooting for Michigan
because it's the Big Ten. No, you can't do that.
I mean you got to battle lines. They gotta be drawn.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Yes, but I have a little bit of that though,
Like if like Seaton Hall gets bounced from the tournament,
if they made the tournament and then they got knocked out,
I might jump to like Saint John's or something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, but you're not used to winning. Yes, it's Seaton Hall.
Like Michigan and Ohio State hate each other. And yeah,
it's true they can have nice things. Seaton Hall can't
have nice things. Allowed Mike and Wisconsin. Hi, Mike, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (29:16):
Good morning fellas. Hey Chritsy, I love you, buddy. You
remember that? Okay, n I got it. I got a
suggestion though, when if you're gonna let Todd sing, it
has to be with music. When there's no music, then
it's just kind of cringey, bad singing. When do you
think it's hilarious because he's so at rhythm and it's
just it's I love it when there's music.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Oh, so you wanted to be more of a disaster,
I think is what you're saying. See, that's the problem
is Todd can't stay on time.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
Paulie and the guys did suggest music. I thought that
would be.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But you've gotten to the point where you don't trust
anything we say because we think it shouldn't trust.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
A single word. Should he have you music?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
There?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Seaton?
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Yes, he should have because music distracts inability to stay
on the distracts from everything else about the song.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
That's perfectly accurate.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Jason Jason in Trinity, Hi, Jason.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Good morning DP.
Speaker 17 (30:17):
I just wanted to flex my muscles on Fritzya and
the horrible singing and just need to change up the
scoreboard from nicely done to another adverb or adjective or journalism.
But the singing. Do you have a button that you
can push to stop that?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Well? I do have the cone of silence that sometimes
I put over time, but once he starts, then I
gotta be respectful to him because he did put in
the time. Yeah, no, no, I do. No, I can't
go there now. I always as see that.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Okay, hold on, let's back up. What did you just say?
I have to be respect No, you can't go there.
You don't have to go there? Did I say that
you don't have to go there? Todd could send you
the email lyrics and okay.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Why don't you put that on your TikTok? No, but
he he sends it to he doesn't stop. This was yesterday,
so he was ready yesterday. And then I said, all right,
I remind me. Well, okay, of course he's gonna remind me.
And then the first thing when I get in here
(31:23):
this morning, a couple hours ago, what's the saying. I
just want to remind you. I got a song about
small market team.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
It's also a good sport to be ganged up on.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
I think also that we encourage the listeners and the
viewers the fans.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
To not watch the nets.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
They could suck. I'm I gotta you know there.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Why don't you sing?
Speaker 6 (31:42):
I'm saying I sound anything like Billy Joe.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
You don't, but it is.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
It's more you know, it's more comfortable. I'm gonna jump
on the bandwagon with the rest of the guys.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, I was okay. When the commissioner in the NBA
joins this next Wednesday, I'd like for you to sing
the song too, appreciate it? Yeah, yeah, God.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Audience is asking why you hate them?
Speaker 14 (32:02):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Why did he let Todd keep going?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah? Yes, if you cut.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Him off in the middle of the song, you missed
the chance for great content. Cutting him off actually hurts it.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Did we get great content? Though? No?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
By not cutting him off, it was decent. It wasn't
a disaster. It was too middle ground. It was neither
great nor horrendous and ta' usually that's one of.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
The other Jordan and Wisconsin. Hi Jordan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 17 (32:33):
Hi?
Speaker 10 (32:33):
Good morning. I'm a big fan going back thirty years.
Used to watch sports and A reruns in the morning
instead of going to college and law school. But on
the top of the bad singing, I really enjoy I
think it's Seaton who does that salary over and over
to the Valerie tune, and I have a similar suggestion
for stat of the day, if you did the Elton
(32:55):
John Saturday nights all right for fighting and just did
seat of the day, stat of the day, out of
the day is stat of the day, stat of the day,
stat of the day, stat of the day, stat of
the day, stat of the day, stat.
Speaker 16 (33:05):
Of the day.
Speaker 10 (33:06):
With someone who could sing that, that would be similar.
And I don't know if it's entertaining in that, but
I'm also old enough to remember the Gong show, and
I think if you had a gong when you were
singing and showed all of the staff members fighting over
each other to either get to or protect the gong,
that would.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You know what I'm gonna do, Jordan. We would get
into licensing rights, you know with Elton John, so we
couldn't afford that. But I think I'm gonna go out
and get a gong.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
That's a great Chuck Barris. Then all the three people
there which all.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
No, no, we we know it's you know, eighties and
you're big on the eighties.
Speaker 11 (33:42):
Well, I was explaining becausere's a lot of people that
may not be familiar with the gong showing okay, go ahead, No,
there would be there would be three like celebrity times
there was like Jamie Farr and JP Morgan where it
was like three people and they would be pretending to
battle each other because they all couldn't wait hit the
gong because the act was so bad, and they would
have their little fun with that.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
You know what, I'm going to ask the big german
to see if he can find a big gong, big gong,
and we'll put it over here and then I'll just
take it out occasionally. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Point, I already reached out to my gong guy.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh you got a gong.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Girls are in motion, all right?
Speaker 10 (34:16):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Uh. By the way, we tweet from the Beard celebrating
eight years of marriage with my wife. Can I get
a fritzy? Bruce Springsteen shout out to my wife Courtney.
Speaker 14 (34:29):

(36:09):
eight am?
Speaker 7 (36:10):
All right, you just led right into our new pole costume.
Is nine forty five am too early to eat a
non tailgating hot dog?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Wow, Okay, I get.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
If you're in a parking lot and you're surrounded by
a bunch of people and there's music going, all rules
are off and drink and brinks whatever you want, whatever
you want. One of the rules applo Okay, this is
just a ran what days today?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Thursday?
Speaker 7 (36:31):
There's a random Thursday, just sitting here and I, yes,
I had a nine to forty five AM Eastern Standard
time hot.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Dog which somebody had to put the hot dogs on.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
There were like nine on there. Now there's like four less,
so then you smell them.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yes, I don't know if you said I want to
have a hot dog as much as you walked by
and you went hot dogs, but you still went nine
forty five. I'm all in. I waited till the end
of the show yesterday. I showed a little restraint there.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
If a hotdog is.
Speaker 11 (37:04):
Available in your proximity, regardless of whether you or someone
else put it on there, there is no time that
is too early.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Okay, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
At six seven in the morning, there's a hot dog
next to you. What the heck?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I'm not judging anybody now, I'm when it comes to
a hot dog. Dylan, our gambling guy, he's always he's
always whipping up hot dogs. He's had two already. If
you're watching on Peacock, you can see the brg's are
back there. They had me get one of those hot
dog like rollers that you find at seven eleven or
(37:36):
these convenience stores, and I put it in there so
and they whip up tater tots and I mean all
kinds of things in the morning. But Dylan, Dylan will
polish off a couple hot dogs before ten of them.
Yesterday I had like little.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Mini pizza rolls, rolls the other day. They're not shy.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
There is a gas station feel and smell to those
hot dogs which make it even you feel like you're sinning.
If you have one before elevet.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Man, it's still pretty good, still pretty good. Not like
it when it's a little charred. Boston Mayo mustard on there.
Never Mayo mustard on there. And good to go. Doug
in North Carolina. Hi, Doug, Hey Dan.
Speaker 18 (38:18):
I have to tell you my hopes and optimism have
plummeted this week, and I want to just a vent
to you. I'm a Lions fan who was announced official
yesterday that our center Frank Ragnow is retiring. And this
is the same thing buried to us. This is the
same thing Andrew Luck did to the Colts. I think
(38:38):
there ought to be almost a fine if a player
decides to retire after the free agency and draft are over.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
It just seems like you're really screwing with your teammates.
Speaker 18 (38:50):
I mean, we would have kept Kevin Zeitler if we
knew rag Now was going to retire. It just feels
like he really did his teammates bad.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Well wait, do you think that he did this on purpose,
that he was waiting this long.
Speaker 18 (39:05):
I don't think he did it, although I do think
Barry did it on purpose. But I think that if
you make the decision this late, it prevents your team
from finding a solution to replace you.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
But I don't know if maybe he was holding out
hope that he could still play. You did draft two
offensive linemen, and maybe they realized that odds were not
in his favor of coming back. And Barry Sanders did
retire right after the season ended, and that's in large
part because he was tired of losing with the organization.
Well that was a surprise. It was right at the
(39:38):
end of the season. But yes, Doug, I understand your pain.
And you lost both your coordinators as well. Thank you
for the phone call. Let's see James and Iowa.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Hi.
Speaker 19 (39:49):
James six one two sixty First of all, the hot
dog at nine forty seven. I got to tell you
that kind of puts a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart.
That's a great idea. But I did have a suggestion.
(40:10):
The reason I'm calling is I had a suggestion for.
Speaker 9 (40:13):
Your last show. So you have a lot of your
a lot of your buddies, a lot of your guests
call you the Godfather. So I was thinking, how about
doing it on a meat Friday. You guys have a
little Sopranos theme going the end of the the end
of the show, you guys start playing some music. You
(40:33):
get together, you're eating your food off the trigger grill.
You're getting together at the table. The close ups, the
close up of you, you look up like you're getting
ready to say something, fade to black.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I'd have to get the license for the Journey song,
and we can't afford that either. Although it'd be our
last show, you know, they'd have to come and track
us down there. Steve Perry and Journey would have to
come and get us there. Yeah. Well we're going to
be in Atlanta at the super Bowl, so it'd be
that Friday. Although people have suggested maybe we do a
(41:11):
Sunday super Bowl watch and then that would be the
final show. There has to be a final show. You
got to come back Monday to the super Bowl. You
cannot talk about the super Bowls. Probably do the week
after the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
One more free agency.
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Then we usually take that week after the week after
the super Bowl off, So then it'd be like a
natural break twenty twenty sixth season.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
What about what about that Monday after the super Bowl
that that's the last show?
Speaker 7 (41:36):
And then the Draft is right around the corner. We're
going to do drafts. At the Draft, where's it going
to be?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I mean, oh, it's Pittsburgh and then it's Washington, d C.
For the Draft.
Speaker 6 (41:47):
Right, we'll find out where twenty twenty eight is if.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
It's close by, if they have it here in Connecticut,
then maybe one hour in the books. Two more to
go on this Thursday Dan Patrick Show.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So you're saying they have a chance. Come on in
Dan and the Danis dan Patrick Show. NBA Finals tonight.
And the Pacers are a historical underdog against the thunder
not just in game one, whether nine and a half
point underdog started out at nine, but the entire series.
We'll talk about that coming up. The Oilers in overtime,
(00:27):
they go up one to ohero in the Stanley Cup
Final against Florida. They're down three goals, and I went,
Florida will not give up the lead. They will not
lose this. They're Florida. They don't do this. They're the
defending champs, they got all this experience. But you can't
stop Leon Dreisidel. You can only hope to contain him.
And it sounded like this last night out.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Of the park. Who sharp Chin Hopkins wi it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Where's the comment? It's great? It was great, but it went,
you know, they're down three, and then I went, oh boy,
uh it was three to one, and then I go,
oh boy, they're not going to come back from this.
(01:18):
And because I just thought, you know, Florida, that's they're
built like this. They do the they come they have
the comebacks. But give credit Edmonton. That was a lot
of fun. And uh on your home ice and you're
down three to one and you start to go, oh no,
here we go again, all right? Age seven seven three
DP show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Twitter handle at dps show. By the way, it was
(01:40):
Connor McDavid to Leon Dry title. We only mentioned Leon
Dry Sidle when we get to the postseason. It's one
of the three best hockey players in the world, so
I'm told, And Connor McDavid is the best hockey player,
maybe the most talented hockey player of all time, or
so i'm told.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, Paul, it's such a funny thing that people don't
see during our commercial breaks.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
You walk around here any time of year.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It could be summer, it could be winter, and you
just go dry, yes, you screaming like there's a goal happening.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And then Seaton has the Leon Dry Sidle goal scoring
voice down is.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Not an actual call, not an actual call.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's pretty close though, Uh, Leon dreice title. Yeah, all right, so,
uh hockey last night? You got basketball coming up tonight.
My Rockies have won three in a row, I said,
to Fritzi, I said, reach out to the Rockies play
by play voice, Jack Corgan. Let me see if we
could get Jack on. Now, this is before they went
on the three game winning streak, and I'm like, have
(02:39):
you mo on? What's it like to go to the
ballpark knowing that your team is probably going to lose
and you don't want to bring your work home? But
how do you not bring your work home if you're
the voice of the Colorado Rockies. Well, they've won three
in a row, So I guess I'm their good luck
charm Because Jack Corgan, the Colorado Rockies play by play voice,
will join us well, So check in with Tim McMahon

Tyreese Halliburton is not their score. That's Pascal Siakam and EVP. Yeah.
Tyrese Haliburton, by the way, didn't make the All Star team,
but he did make the Olympic team. You know when
you talk about star power and you're like, okay, you
know SGA, SGA of course, MVP and scoring champ, all
(04:36):
the different things that have gone to him this season.
But Tyree's Halliburton, who had a great month and a half.
He was not an All Star this year. The Commissioner
of the NBA, Adam Silver, was on Fox Sports One
and he brought up what we've been bringing up for
quite some time now, and I think they're going to
(04:56):
do it the All Star Game format next.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Year as part of our new media deals. The All
Star Game returns to NBC, where it was when we
were younger. And it so happens that next season will
be smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Some
fact that the game will be on NBC and the
very day we're on they'll be the lead in will
be Winter Olympic events. And then coming out of the
All Star Game, which is not going to be in
the afternoon instead of the evening, there'll be more Olympic events.
(05:21):
So what better time to feature some form of USA
against the world. I'm not exactly sure what the format
will be yet. I mean, obviously paid a lot of
attention to what the NHL did, but also you know,
going back, you know last summer, our Olympic competition was
a huge success.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, and I think the commissioner admitted that he saw
the four Nations with hockey and the excitement that you
had with that, and you know, United States against Canada,
certainly helps. But this is what I've been pushing for.
What else are you going to do here? I don't
wanted to devolve into what you know, the NFL's All
(05:59):
Star Game is, you know, the Pro Bowl. I don't
want that. I do like the skills competition, some of
the skills competition, but let's try it. Let's just see
you're going to get at least some kind of competitiveness.
You'll have certainly pride, and that's all we care about.
When you watch, you want to know. If they care,
(06:21):
then all care. But if you watch and you realize
they don't care, then I don't. But this, I'd be
curious just to see how the rest of the world reacts. Now.
Team USA might not get caught up in this until
they lose the All Star Game, and then it might
get a little momentum. The Team USA would probably well,
(06:44):
they will have a deeper roster, but they won't have
the best players because the best players are not from
the United States. The starting five from around the world
will be better than the starting five from Team USA.
But I want to see what happens as the game
goes a lot, because that's when you start to get
the competitive and you know, this is down through history
(07:07):
where you get guys that maybe didn't care as much,
but then they cared because the game was on the line.
Hopefully you have that. And I don't know what Plan
B is going to be to spice up the All
Star Game, but to me, it's a glorified layup line
and I'd like to see just a little bit. I'd
like to see a little bit of competition, that's all.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Yeah, I Martin, Well, probably from who, Like I'm not
sure if Joker and Luca care whether the world beats us,
they care about Slovenia winning.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, but you're representing your country, are they? Yeah? I
think so. I mean, you're it's us against the world
and you know, or it's it's them against the United States.
I mean, I think and it says a lot of
where basketball has come, where it was around the world
to where it is now. You could go to to
(08:00):
toe with the best players, and that says something about
what the Dream Team and the impact that the Dream
Team had. So yeah, I think there's pride because remember
all those teams that got slaughtered by the Dream Team,
and those countries said, okay, now we know what we
have to do We've we measured ourselves against the best
best team ever assembled. Now we can go back and
(08:23):
they have these academies. Now it was important, it's important
to all these countries. And I would think, you know,
Canadian basketball, we don't. We never talked about Canada with basketball.
But Vince gets there. I mean, you have Steve Nash there.
All of a sudden, you get a trickle down effect,
and we don't look at Canada and say, oh, he's
a basketball player from Canada. I mean, sga, he went
(08:45):
to Kentucky. Nobody goes, oh, he's from Canada. Yeah, yes, he.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Yeah, I kind of I'd see what Marvin is saying that,
you know, I don't know that I think that Americans
view it everything as America and the rest of the world.
But I don't know that the rest of the world
just seize themselves as one big thing that's not American.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You know.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
So I think that there's a lot more pride. If
you take a Serbian guy, I think being Serbian means
a hell of a lot to him, you know, and
representing Serbia means a lot more than just being lumped
in with the rest of the guys from the world.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But if they're not forced to play against the Team USA.
But if if that's that's the way the format is
going to be, then I think there's going to be
that pride of what our how far our countries have come,
how far the world has come. At least that's what
I'm hoping for. You know, maybe it maybe it's just
(09:38):
me rooting for something that something interesting.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Yes, just please, just please care. I gotta love this.
You're gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Come on that fun Hey, Luca, Luca, listen, Luca, put
the beer down. Okay, now I want you to really
care about this. Put the hookah down, Yes, Marmon.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
The pressure is gonna be on those second tier guys
from the international squad that make the team that didn't
deserve to be All Stars. They have to play hard
because Adam Silver's gonna be like, why are you eating?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Those guys are gonna play hard.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
They better and they better play well.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Team USA's got the pressure on them.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Because if Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum come in as
a second string guy and tear Josh Giddy apart, like
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, do we get shake Gildos Alexander? Yes, Okay, So
it's Canada. Okay, So it's North America versus international, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
The United States versus the world.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
So we don't get That's why I asked.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I said, do we get Shake Gildess Alexander or did
they get.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Oh no, they do them. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's Canada.
We don't. We haven't gotten Canada.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yet because he went to high school. Yeah, two years
of high school in America, doesn't matter. I thought maybe
we could acquire Shake Guilgess.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No, no, no, no, no, it's it's the United States
and then everybody else. He went to college in the
United States, that doesn't matter. He's from Canada, nash Once
come out of retirement, he can play for Team Canada.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They might need him.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah. Leo Routins, Remember Leo was wasn't he the first
guy it felt like from Canada that we're like, hey,
Leo Routins, man from Canada played at Syracuse. It was
his number thirteen. I think, so, well, that's so random
Leo Routins and he's one of the first great shooting
(11:24):
big men. And you're right about that. Yeah, So but
I do like that. I do like that. You know,
here we had the possibility of something to watch. I mean,
I wouldn't watch normally, but this I'll watch. Adam Silver
also talked about comparing the NBA Finals to the super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
That's one thing I really admire about the NFL. I mean,
if if we were going into a Super Bowl and
it was Packers against Steelers, you guys would be celebrating that.
Nobody would. Those would be storied franchises. People wouldn't be
talking about mart the fact that Pittsburgh is a small market.
So I'm happy whatever team ends up in the finals.
But it's been intentional from our standpoint to create a system,
(12:04):
a collective bargaining agreement that allows more teams to compete.
And just by way of background, you know, we're going
to have to go through a process of getting to
the point where people are accustomed to tuning into the
finals because it's the two teams that deserve to be
there and it's the best basketball. Similar to again with
the super Bowl. If I asked somebody they were going
(12:24):
to watch the super Bowl, they wouldn't say who's playing?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
It's a national holiday.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well. Also, what hurts that analogy is if it was
one game, Okay, now, there would be greater interest because
you don't know how it goes for a couple of weeks.
Super Bowl is one game, one and done. That's why
we love March Madness. It's one and done. With the
you know, World Series or playoffs best to seven, the
(12:49):
NBA Finals best to seven. If you add one game tonight,
I'd love to know what that audience what what would
be the estimated audience no matter who's playing, but if
you're watching and you know, the championship will be decided.
So that's and plus, you know NFL fans, your fandom
is passed down from generation to generation to generation. So
(13:10):
if you say Pittsburgh and Green Bay, well, how far
does that go back with your fandom? Okay, see how
far does that go back? Not too far. I don't
think Seattle Supersonic fans are going man, let me tell
you the days about Okay, I mean nobody cares Pacers
a great basketball tradition with the ABA, but you know,
(13:33):
football is just different because it's one game a week.
It's so important. One game and then you get six
days to talk about it. Then one game and everybody
plays every game, and then you're going to play for
a championship and it's one game. That's why it's a
national holiday, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
And in the NFL, the Super Bowl matchup isn't important
no matter who it is we're watching, you know, like
with the MLB last year the Dodgers, Oh thank goodness. Yeah,
because I couldn't do Royals Giants. Yeah, So it doesn't
matter in the NFL what the matchup is, especially with
two story franchises like Green Bay and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I mean, and that's the magic of the NFL. That's
the power of the NFL. We watch, you know, Thursday night,
it could be Carolina against Tampa Bay. All right, if
you can figure out how to find Amazon, then you'll
watch that. But you know, football is different. We gamble
on football. There's fantasy with football, and that's it's just
(14:34):
it's a behemoth. All right. Well take a break here.
Todd has a song about these small market teams. Okay.
I didn't know anybody asked for that. Oh they didn't,
okay at all. I just wanted to make sure that
it did. Somebody on the other side say, Todd, why
don't you whip up a small market song for the
two teams in the NBA Final.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
That is some of that just did not happen.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Okay, all right, so how about we take a break?
Is that?
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
We probably share, okay, but you can get ready, you
probably stay and break.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
While I'm saying the song should be a break.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Have you rehearsed this song?
Speaker 11 (15:08):
No, I just read it to myself a couple of times.
I wrote it yesterday before the show. I wasn't truf
you're going to do it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Or TeX's what I love about you? No preparation. Do
you need music? Do you need anything that we can
You know, Marvin's gonna do a little work here.
Speaker 11 (15:22):
For the average person, music would be an enhancement and
help the singer. I've proven that it actually hurts me
in some way that I can't stay with the tune.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay, just messing with that is too. That is true.
You can't carry you too. But all right, So when
we come back the NBA Final Small Market Team song
that you didn't know you need. We're back after this
on the Dan Patrick Show.

Tyler sitting by seven seven to three DP show. There
are a lot of people surprised when I gave you
the DraftKings odds for next year. To win the NBA Championship,
it's the Thunder by a long shot, and then the
Nixon Pacers are tied. It's second, followed by the Timberwolves
(17:13):
and the Cavaliers. No sign of the Boston Celtics. All right,
Todd has a song about these small market teams with
the NBA Finals. Now is this sung to a certain
tune that we might be familiar with.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Hopefully you're familiar with the down Easter Alexa by Billy Joel.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Some may so not.
Speaker 11 (17:35):
I know I date things a lot, and I'm living
in the eighties and nineties, but that was a pretty
popular song and hopefully you know that you'll appreciate it
based on that song.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Is what I just came to me a couple of
nights ago, and I have to put.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Some wordstan ladies and gentlemen, Todd Fritz.
Speaker 14 (17:50):
Well, I'm not watching Pacers and Thunder. I've got more
important things to do. Lock obsessive, compulsedly washing my hands
and retiring one hundred times my shoe. I'm just a
man who hadn X first Lakers dreams. Can't get excited
(18:12):
by these two small market teams.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
This type of matchup.
Speaker 14 (18:16):
Is really not for me, even though one.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Team's got the MVP.
Speaker 14 (18:23):
So I won't be watching Pay Susan Thunder. I'll just
find something else on TV. And I'm sure there are
several others network executives crying just like me. You'll find
me elsewhere when these two take the cord.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Can't get pumped up.
Speaker 14 (18:44):
For Obi topping on loudot no, no, no, no, how.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Did this happen?
Speaker 14 (18:50):
Yes, it's really kind of said the big storyline Halliburton
and his dad. So I'm passing on Pay Susan Thunder,
and I invite.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You as well to do so, or you.
Speaker 14 (19:06):
Can sit through chiyakum in them hard faint interest in
home grin Caruso. I'll shift my focus to something else
that should entice panthers and oilers for the.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Coup is on the ice.
Speaker 14 (19:20):
Yes, I'm not watching Pay Susan Thunder. I'll explore other
ways to get kicks now invested in wi in softball
and wondering who's going to coach the Knicks? No no, no, no,
no no no.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Alrighty okay, because that's probably what I was saying throughout
the entire song was no no, no, no, no no, all right.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I put you through that.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, that came to you, uh, in a dream.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Like two in the morning a few nights ago. I'm like,
I don't know why.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
I was thinking, like, how about a small market team song,
and down Easter Alexa was in my head.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
I'm like, let's see to something different.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, Paul, you talked just yesterday about how musicians write
a song In fifteen minutes, Todd told me the genesis
of that opus and two in the morning awoken from
a dream and he wrote it. I completely appreciate the
effort you do, yes, because I love the loud dort rhyme.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And to wait a long time to get to loud
dort rhyme.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
He does sound like Billy Joel, like has like a
pulled muscle in his stomach and can't really hit the notes.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But a for effort man.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, well, thank you. Ton Norm in Indiana, Hi Norm,
Hi dB.
Speaker 15 (20:39):
First time long time five seven one sixties. I have
a poem. I'd like to read to you a poem. Yeah,
and it's I'm not going to use a scratchy voice
like Todd, so it's a little long. Let me know
when if you'd like me to keep going, I'll stop
halfway through.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 15 (20:58):
Twenty five winners, twenty five spring since Indie dreamt on
basketball wings. A city that whispered one day again now
shouts enjoy through streets and men. The Pacers rise, proud
and true, with hard stitched tight and gold and blue
no longer echo the past acclaim Tonight they play a
finals game, and leading them so calm, so bright is
(21:19):
Tyrese Haliburton, our guiding light with vision, sharp and spirit,
kind a poet with a point guard's mind. Would you
like me to keep going?
Speaker 10 (21:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I think we got the gist of it. But you're
a Pacer fan. You know what I'd like to do, Norm,
is uh, if you'll give the entire poem to Tyler,
I would put it in the newsletter that we send
out every night to about eighty thousand of our fans
who have signed it for the newsletter. Can we do that?
Speaker 15 (21:47):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, thank you, Norman, Good luck to your pacers tonight.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yes, Paul, that guy tried to follow Todd.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, GOTSI yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Yeah, I should have sung it at should have sung it?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah. Okay, what's poll question today? Seat? At least for
the first hour.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Oh dear, I'm so glad that you asked. And who
are non Edmonton Canadian hockey fans rooting for?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We opened up this Pandora. No, I don't want to
say Pandora because then you're gonna play Pandora. Oh all right,
give me a little Pandora status day. I just envisioned
her lying on the top of a piano cigarette smoke.
(22:40):
What was that The Fabulous Baker Boys with Michelle Pfeiffer
Man Michelle Fifer One seat Jesus, I know, but just
seat's doing? Are you doing? Pandora?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah it is yes, similar facial hay.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You know, if we go back to Vegas, Pandora has
to join us on the show.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
We got to get a stage, We gotta get some lights,
maybe some tigers.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, what about Siegfried and Roy's tigers? What are they
doing now? Barvin? You were going to say something?
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Can I just get a shirt that says, oh, Dan,
give us perfect.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
All right, what's the poll question? Satan. By the way,
Paulie said, you didn't say what how you felt about
Todd's song. I always appreciate your effort, your creativity. I
don't think you sing as well as you think you sing.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Shower, I mailed. Actually, I didn't even sing.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
In the show. Yeah. I the water would turn off
if you sang like that. Yeah, but uh, you know,
I like the effort and the creativity, and I think
that's what makes you unique. There's nobody like you who
does this, you know, morning radio and singing poorly.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Take that, I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yes, Yes, there's a.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Compliment in there.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
There there, there is your creativity. I'm always fascinated by
all right, Seaton.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
By the way, we just got this from Oswald on
social media. I'm a fritzy apologist, but that song is
making me wonder if I need to change my stance. Okay,
just saying, and.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't want to lead the audience. I appreciate the
creativity that you woke up in the middle of the
night and uh you you penned that song.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
I did lose four hundred followers on social media in
the last five minutes, so that's kind of weird.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I don't know if that's a good sign.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Which is weird because I didn't think you had four
hundred to lose.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, it's interesting. I think that social media is a
great outlet for that type of creativity. Todd, hmm, oh,
you should just push that content on social and grind numbers.
That that's I think that's a great idea. Yeah, go ahead, Todd.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Don't respond kindly.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yes, they could start a TikTok just for your songs. Yeah,
just singing your songs and social media is so kind.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah, I hope I can win Oswald back.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
It's all I could. All right, what else do you
have there? We have not envonton Canadian hockey fans. Who
are you rooting for the Oilers or the Panthers? Were
is a very select group of people.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes, yeah, we talked about this last year and I
thought maybe because the United States has kind of grabbed
the sport, and you know, Tampa and Florida have been
dominant over the last six years, making it to the
Stanley Cup finals. But you haven't won since Montreal and
what ninety two ninety three that you would be if
(25:53):
I'm Canadian? Do I do I care that it's Edmonton?
Can I root for my country more than I'm rooting
for Edmonton. I mean, I can't imagine people in Montreal
and Toronto going, yeah, you know what'd be nice if Edmonton.
I wouldn't look at it that way. It would be
that you're bringing the cup back to Canada.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yes, So if you're a fan of Calgary Flames, or
I think Vancouver Canucks are their biggest rivals, you can't
put aside you're dislike for the Oilers for the good
of Canada and Canadian hockey.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I think you can. If you're.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I don't think you can.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It doesn't feel great. It's a bit of a like
damned if you do. But I would want Canada win
over Florida for God's.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Sakes, man, don't I don't think that if I was
in Calgary or Calgary and or Vancouver, I couldn't go.
You know what, I'm okay if Edmonton wins, because then
we all win.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
What about karma?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
If it was the other way around, and you're in
Vancouver and you hope that if it's our turn, they'll.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Root for us, No, no, no, they're not. No, that's
not big.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I can't imagine, like, are we rooting as Americans Florida winning? Like,
how important is it that the Cup stays here?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I guess what, it's not our sport. It can't mean
as much.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
It's kind of become our sport. Jack, we kind of
hijack this thing. But I don't know. What do you think, Fritzi?
Do you think that Canada is rooting for Edmonton?
Speaker 14 (27:26):
No?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
But they should.
Speaker 11 (27:28):
I think they all have their regions and provinces and
they root for their team and they don't want to
see them hold the cup if it's not theirs.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
But I think they should all band together.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
And what about U Seton.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
I think that there are some fan bases not but
by and large they all are.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Okay, Marvin, No, because if I'm a Canadians fan, the
Oils winning the Cup doesn't mean me feel any better.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But the Cup comes back to your country, Okay, all right?
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I don't know if there's a close cop here in America,
but this is the closest I could come up with.
If you're an SEC football fan and you're a fan
of Alabama, Alabama, you don't make the title game, and
Georgia makes the title game against Michigan. Who are you
rooting for Georgia or Michigan. Mm, for the good of
the SEC and the good of all of the SEC,
(28:18):
you don't root for Georgia to take down Michigan.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I don't know if they could if.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Okay, if you're an Ohio State fan and Michigan's playing
in the National Championship Game, you're not rooting for Michigan
because it's the Big Ten. No, you can't do that.
I mean you got to battle lines. They gotta be drawn.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Yes, but I have a little bit of that though,
Like if like Seaton Hall gets bounced from the tournament,
if they made the tournament and then they got knocked out,
I might jump to like Saint John's or something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, but you're not used to winning. Yes, it's Seaton Hall.
Like Michigan and Ohio State hate each other. And yeah,
it's true they can have nice things. Seaton Hall can't
have nice things. Allowed Mike and Wisconsin. Hi, Mike, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (29:16):
Good morning fellas. Hey Chritsy, I love you, buddy. You
remember that? Okay, n I got it. I got a
suggestion though, when if you're gonna let Todd sing, it
has to be with music. When there's no music, then
it's just kind of cringey, bad singing. When do you
think it's hilarious because he's so at rhythm and it's
just it's I love it when there's music.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Oh, so you wanted to be more of a disaster,
I think is what you're saying. See, that's the problem
is Todd can't stay on time.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
Paulie and the guys did suggest music. I thought that
would be.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But you've gotten to the point where you don't trust
anything we say because we think it shouldn't trust.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
A single word. Should he have you music?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
There?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Seaton?
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Yes, he should have because music distracts inability to stay
on the distracts from everything else about the song.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
That's perfectly accurate.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Jason Jason in Trinity, Hi, Jason.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Good morning DP.
Speaker 17 (30:17):
I just wanted to flex my muscles on Fritzya and
the horrible singing and just need to change up the
scoreboard from nicely done to another adverb or adjective or journalism.
But the singing. Do you have a button that you
can push to stop that?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Well? I do have the cone of silence that sometimes
I put over time, but once he starts, then I
gotta be respectful to him because he did put in
the time. Yeah, no, no, I do. No, I can't
go there now. I always as see that.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Okay, hold on, let's back up. What did you just say?
I have to be respect No, you can't go there.
You don't have to go there? Did I say that
you don't have to go there? Todd could send you
the email lyrics and okay.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Why don't you put that on your TikTok? No, but
he he sends it to he doesn't stop. This was yesterday,
so he was ready yesterday. And then I said, all right,
I remind me. Well, okay, of course he's gonna remind me.
And then the first thing when I get in here
(31:23):
this morning, a couple hours ago, what's the saying. I
just want to remind you. I got a song about
small market team.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
It's also a good sport to be ganged up on.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
I think also that we encourage the listeners and the
viewers the fans.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
To not watch the nets.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
They could suck. I'm I gotta you know there.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Why don't you sing?
Speaker 6 (31:42):
I'm saying I sound anything like Billy Joe.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
You don't, but it is.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
It's more you know, it's more comfortable. I'm gonna jump
on the bandwagon with the rest of the guys.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, I was okay. When the commissioner in the NBA
joins this next Wednesday, I'd like for you to sing
the song too, appreciate it? Yeah, yeah, God.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Audience is asking why you hate them?
Speaker 14 (32:02):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Why did he let Todd keep going?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah? Yes, if you cut.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Him off in the middle of the song, you missed
the chance for great content. Cutting him off actually hurts it.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Did we get great content? Though? No?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
By not cutting him off, it was decent. It wasn't
a disaster. It was too middle ground. It was neither
great nor horrendous and ta' usually that's one of.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
The other Jordan and Wisconsin. Hi Jordan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 17 (32:33):
Hi?
Speaker 10 (32:33):
Good morning. I'm a big fan going back thirty years.
Used to watch sports and A reruns in the morning
instead of going to college and law school. But on
the top of the bad singing, I really enjoy I
think it's Seaton who does that salary over and over
to the Valerie tune, and I have a similar suggestion
for stat of the day, if you did the Elton
(32:55):
John Saturday nights all right for fighting and just did
seat of the day, stat of the day, out of
the day is stat of the day, stat of the day,
stat of the day, stat of the day, stat of
the day, stat of the day, stat.
Speaker 16 (33:05):
Of the day.
Speaker 10 (33:06):
With someone who could sing that, that would be similar.
And I don't know if it's entertaining in that, but
I'm also old enough to remember the Gong show, and
I think if you had a gong when you were
singing and showed all of the staff members fighting over
each other to either get to or protect the gong,
that would.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You know what I'm gonna do, Jordan. We would get
into licensing rights, you know with Elton John, so we
couldn't afford that. But I think I'm gonna go out
and get a gong.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
That's a great Chuck Barris. Then all the three people
there which all.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
No, no, we we know it's you know, eighties and
you're big on the eighties.
Speaker 11 (33:42):
Well, I was explaining becausere's a lot of people that
may not be familiar with the gong showing okay, go ahead, No,
there would be there would be three like celebrity times
there was like Jamie Farr and JP Morgan where it
was like three people and they would be pretending to
battle each other because they all couldn't wait hit the
gong because the act was so bad, and they would
have their little fun with that.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
You know what, I'm going to ask the big german
to see if he can find a big gong, big gong,
and we'll put it over here and then I'll just
take it out occasionally. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Point, I already reached out to my gong guy.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh you got a gong.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Girls are in motion, all right?
Speaker 10 (34:16):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Uh. By the way, we tweet from the Beard celebrating
eight years of marriage with my wife. Can I get
a fritzy? Bruce Springsteen shout out to my wife Courtney.
Speaker 14 (34:29):
Well, all right, happy out Recordney.

Com our one poll question. Are we going to change
things up already? Oh? Seaton a hot dog at nine
(36:09):
eight am?
Speaker 7 (36:10):
All right, you just led right into our new pole costume.
Is nine forty five am too early to eat a
non tailgating hot dog?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Wow, Okay, I get.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
If you're in a parking lot and you're surrounded by

you want. One of the rules applo Okay, this is
just a ran what days today?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Thursday?
Speaker 7 (36:31):
There's a random Thursday, just sitting here and I, yes,
I had a nine to forty five AM Eastern Standard
time hot.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Dog which somebody had to put the hot dogs on.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
There were like nine on there. Now there's like four less,
so then you smell them.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yes, I don't know if you said I want to
have a hot dog as much as you walked by
and you went hot dogs, but you still went nine
forty five. I'm all in. I waited till the end
of the show yesterday. I showed a little restraint there.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
If a hotdog is.
Speaker 11 (37:04):
Available in your proximity, regardless of whether you or someone
else put it on there, there is no time that
is too early.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Okay, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
At six seven in the morning, there's a hot dog
next to you. What the heck?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I'm not judging anybody now, I'm when it comes to
a hot dog. Dylan, our gambling guy, he's always he's
always whipping up hot dogs. He's had two already. If
you're watching on Peacock, you can see the brg's are
back there. They had me get one of those hot
dog like rollers that you find at seven eleven or
(37:36):
these convenience stores, and I put it in there so
and they whip up tater tots and I mean all
kinds of things in the morning. But Dylan, Dylan will
polish off a couple hot dogs before ten of them.
Yesterday I had like little.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Mini pizza rolls, rolls the other day. They're not shy.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
There is a gas station feel and smell to those
hot dogs which make it even you feel like you're sinning.
If you have one before elevet.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Man, it's still pretty good, still pretty good. Not like
it when it's a little charred. Boston Mayo mustard on there.
Never Mayo mustard on there. And good to go. Doug
in North Carolina. Hi, Doug, Hey Dan.
Speaker 18 (38:18):
I have to tell you my hopes and optimism have
plummeted this week, and I want to just a vent
to you. I'm a Lions fan who was announced official
yesterday that our center Frank Ragnow is retiring. And this
is the same thing buried to us. This is the
same thing Andrew Luck did to the Colts. I think
(38:38):
there ought to be almost a fine if a player
decides to retire after the free agency and draft are over.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
It just seems like you're really screwing with your teammates.
Speaker 18 (38:50):
I mean, we would have kept Kevin Zeitler if we
knew rag Now was going to retire. It just feels
like he really did his teammates bad.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Well wait, do you think that he did this on purpose,
that he was waiting this long.
Speaker 18 (39:05):
I don't think he did it, although I do think
Barry did it on purpose. But I think that if
you make the decision this late, it prevents your team
from finding a solution to replace you.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
But I don't know if maybe he was holding out
hope that he could still play. You did draft two
offensive linemen, and maybe they realized that odds were not
in his favor of coming back. And Barry Sanders did
retire right after the season ended, and that's in large
part because he was tired of losing with the organization.
Well that was a surprise. It was right at the
(39:38):
end of the season. But yes, Doug, I understand your pain.
And you lost both your coordinators as well. Thank you
for the phone call. Let's see James and Iowa.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Hi.
Speaker 19 (39:49):
James six one two sixty First of all, the hot
dog at nine forty seven. I got to tell you
that kind of puts a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart.
That's a great idea. But I did have a suggestion.
(40:10):
The reason I'm calling is I had a suggestion for.
Speaker 9 (40:13):
Your last show. So you have a lot of your
a lot of your buddies, a lot of your guests
call you the Godfather. So I was thinking, how about
doing it on a meat Friday. You guys have a
little Sopranos theme going the end of the the end
of the show, you guys start playing some music. You
(40:33):
get together, you're eating your food off the trigger grill.
You're getting together at the table. The close ups, the
close up of you, you look up like you're getting
ready to say something, fade to black.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I'd have to get the license for the Journey song,
and we can't afford that either. Although it'd be our
last show, you know, they'd have to come and track
us down there. Steve Perry and Journey would have to
come and get us there. Yeah. Well we're going to
be in Atlanta at the super Bowl, so it'd be
that Friday. Although people have suggested maybe we do a
(41:11):
Sunday super Bowl watch and then that would be the
final show. There has to be a final show. You
got to come back Monday to the super Bowl. You
cannot talk about the super Bowls. Probably do the week
after the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
One more free agency.
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Then we usually take that week after the week after
the super Bowl off, So then it'd be like a
natural break twenty twenty sixth season.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
What about what about that Monday after the super Bowl
that that's the last show?
Speaker 7 (41:36):
And then the Draft is right around the corner. We're
going to do drafts. At the Draft, where's it going
to be?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I mean, oh, it's Pittsburgh and then it's Washington, d C.
For the Draft.
Speaker 6 (41:47):
Right, we'll find out where twenty twenty eight is if.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
It's close by, if they have it here in Connecticut,
then maybe one hour in the books. Two more to
go on this Thursday Dan Patrick Show.
