(00:25):
San Antonio, with the Spurs being a ten and a
half point favored against the Timberwolves, Cavaliers with a great
second half performance from Donovan Mitchell goes for forty three.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I don't know what that's like.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You go for four in the first half and thirty
nine in the second half. As the Cavs beat the Pistons,
that series tied to two games a piece. Thunder sweep
the Lakers, and they did so with I thought a
little bit of a struggle. I felt like the Lakers
did a pretty good job with SGA. The problem is
(00:59):
sometimes you focus on one guy and you let other
guys become stars for the night. AJ Mitchell went for
twenty eight points last night Timberwolves and the Spurs tonight

go over and pick up uh somebody at the golf course.
And I said, uh no, have you know jack my
son go? She goes, no, no, no, you need to go.
So I'm not dressed in accordance to having a party.
And I walk in and they do this surprise thing
and I go, oh and she's done this three times now.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, but I said, no, no surprises, we don't need it.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Yes, Tom, If you kept refusing to go, eventually she'd
be like, Danna, it's a surprise party.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
You have to go there. Everyone's okay. Now you've ruined
it because you were refusing to go.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Thank you to yes, pony.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
I try to follow that.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Are you one of those people who says I don't
want anything special for my birthday and then when they
don't do anything special for your birthday you sulk?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, yeah I knew the answer to that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah.

other things out there that i'd like. There's another Porsche

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Booz Booh's always good because.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
My wife will say, do you really need an other watch?
And I go, no, I don't need it, but I wanted, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
A bunch of years ago, when you and I first
started working together, I didn't have much dough and I went.
I was in New York City at Nett Sherman's. It's
like this tobacco place. It's pretty famous, you know it,
And I bought you what to me was an expensive lighter.
It was really solid and heavy. The next day we
went on a road trip for the Dan Patrick Show,
and it got confiscated at.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Security, and they always say, if you want to go
back out and mail it to yourself. I go, I'm
gonna have to get back in that line again, and
they go yeah. I'm thinking who does that? Who actually
gets out of line? Who has time? And you know
that guy's going, man, this is gonna be my liner.
Click click click click click click.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yes, Dylan, that happened to me going into MSG.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I had like a tiny little like Swiss army knife
on my keychain and they're like, you got to throw
that out. I was like, what am I gonna do
with thirty thousand people in MSGU with like a one
inch long little knife? And I think he wanted it too.
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I was behind a woman who not only had water,
a bottle of water inner luggage, but also had a
like a pen knife, like a Swiss army knife, and
I'm going, is this your first time going through security?
I'm saying this to myself, but she's like, oh, I
forgot the water. It's like the size of a barrel.
(05:29):
Oh I didn't know I had the knife.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm going, that is not my glock. I swear to.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That that's what I don't understand when you go man,
I did not remember I brought my gun.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yes, Tom, it's just a flight.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
It's not an episode of Survivor where you need all
these tools and drinks. They'll give you water and you
don't need this Swiss army.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Knif All right, well, thank you again, Todd. National Limerick
Day if you missed last hour. Todd gave us a
limerick when he went to the confessional.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a new item, a new segment here where we
used to do this at the old studio. And I said,
I'm going to bring it back. And uh, it's kind
of an interrogation room for sixty seconds. And Todd has
two limericks. I said, you only get to do one,
so I said you can do one in the confessional.
So I don't know how well it went. I didn't
(06:21):
hear anybody laughing. I didn't hear any applause.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
So it's a little birthday.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Tribute to Weeks, which was a little sensitive about because
the first line described ups and downs of one's career,
which I needed for the rhyme, not because there's an accuracy.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And he, of course is our cameraman, yes, our camera. Yeah,
sometimes you have to elaborate a little bit.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Okay, thank you, Todd, so weeks are cameraman. It's his
birthday today. Mine is on Friday, no surprises.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yes, Paul, you know you're gonna get Friday Fritzy on
your birthday. No that you like it or not.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, that's my wish to not have Friday Fritzy.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
That is your birthday present for me.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, quiet, yeah, great?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
All right, So Nick Rydell join us coming up here
in a little bit. Christ and Syracuse lead just off
over two. Hi, Chris Hey, thanks as always.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Dan Hey had a couple. I got some Celtics and
Knicks for you. And also you were mentioning last hours
about the Lakers as an organization, they got to do
what's best to make their king better. And I always
remember when the Red Sox got rid of Nomar. That
was a business decision that didn't make the fans happy,
and that led directly to a World Series a few
months later. And over the last several years, the Knicks
(07:29):
came so close to pulling the trigger to acquire Joel
Embiide and I'm so glad they held off and ended
up with Kat and an example of how hungry Nick
fans are for a title. The summer night, the Knicks
acquired the last piece of the puzzle, mikel Bridges, from
their crosstown rival, the Nets, for five first round picks.
The Yankees were playing the metson City Field, and when
(07:50):
they flashed the news on the scoreboard, Yankee and Matt
fans in unison started chanting, Let's go Knicks. And also
Jalen Brown said this year was his favorite years the Celtic.
It kind of tells you he may want to fly
solo as the guy without Jason Tatum and certainly is
the first time he hitted it that. I just hope
they both realize they can achieve so much more together
(08:12):
collectively down the road than they ever would do it apart.
And Dan, I wanted to throw at you. I was thinking,
as a Nick fan, the biggest and most loyal celebrity
for fans over the long haul, and I got four
of them. I'm gonna go with my fourth. First, I
think it would be Ben Stiller because he hasn't been
around that much. Steven A at three, Spike It two,
(08:34):
and then I'm gonna go Woody all On at one,
and also Dan. I remember you telling the caller once
that when your child is born, take a picture every
day of them for the first year because they changed
so much.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes, when you think about it, your child in his
or her first year changes more than any other year
in their life. And take a photo every day. Let's
see Luke and text is hi?
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Luke?
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Hey Dan? First time?
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Long time?
Speaker 9 (09:05):
Script's one. I got a potential ball question. Do you
gut it's okay to skip your.
Speaker 11 (09:14):
Son's little league baseball game to go watch Victor Limbyama?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Wait, did you already do it?
Speaker 8 (09:21):
Luke?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Not yet? Are you doing it tonight?
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Sir? How old is he.
Speaker 12 (09:30):
Nine?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
How good is he?
Speaker 9 (09:34):
He's pretty good?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, you know what. I would go to the basketball game,
all right?
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Could bring the kid to the game, unless he's playing
in his game while you're the game. Basketball games going on.
But if he's pretty good, there's going to be more
games for you to go to. Might not get too
many opportunities to see the Spurs.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yes, Todd, what.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
If that game is like the it's greatest game ever?
Hits him home run.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
And goes four for four and gets the game winning
hit or catch and then you've got to live with
picking Wenby over your own kid.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
He's only nine.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, but at nine years old you can be you
can do something.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Very pitch at nine and not well.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
I was got a couple of All star teams, granted
they were looking for a nine guy that he wanted forfeits.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I was like, I have every attack to play.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
First name Nate in La Hi, Nate, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 13 (10:25):
Beg your morning, Dan. I also have a potential poll
question and a personal question for you, if my time
permits a pole question. Which is the hardest first time
job MLB manager, NBA head coach, NFL head coach, or
first time dan at.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I would think the NFL, because you're running an organization
and you got a lot of people, a lot of
moving parts, So I would I would definitely say being
an NFL being a dan at Marvin and Dylan were
around the show for a long tom and then they
got the opportunity to sit in their chairs, so they
knew the feeld of the show.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
They knew everybody involved in it.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Therefore, I mean the hard part is you're introducing somebody
new to the audience and then you're replacing seat, and
you're replacing Mick Lovin. You know that transition can be difficult,
but these two guys who've handled it extremely well.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yes feeling Yeah, Well, you get me around an NFL
organization for a couple of years, I'll take them right
to the promise.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh you will tell you. Okay, all right, let's see
Tom and Nebraska. Good morning Tom.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
What do you have for me?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (11:37):
Good morning guys.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Dan.
Speaker 12 (11:39):
For a couple of years. For several years, you've been
giving great advice as far as speeches go, whether it
be weddings, what have you. The advice is always keep
it short, keep it sweet, make it about them. And
I'm like Todd, it's not the stand up comedy hour.
The second thing was a couple of years ago at
my sister's wedding. I put this into practice and was
invited to say a few words. I am reading off
(12:01):
the speech. I go outside the venue, which happens to
be an open area bar. I'm practicing the speech in
a quiet corner and I'm kind of tearing up, sobbing
a little bit. When a cop happens to come up
and walk up behind me. I explain what I'm doing,
but she doesn't believe me, so I just said, I'm
reading the speech off, I'm just a little emotional. I
think she thinks I'm inebriated, so she goes read it
(12:21):
to me.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
So I do.
Speaker 12 (12:23):
I read the speech and again get very emotional, start
tearing up. When she finally believes, he said okay, okay,
okay and gives me a great big hug. But thought
i'd share that story with you that it's great advice.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, thank you, Tom.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Hopefully that won't happen to me when I give this
speech at my daughter's wedding. Man, I'm getting a lot
of advice now. Everybody's an expert on this. Two of
my daughters. They want to tell me how to do it.
You don't do this, do that my way. Don't be joky,
it's serious.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yes, Dally, I feel like you got a pretty idea
of what you need to do.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You know, Oh I do, But even practicing, I tear up. Yeah,
that's not good.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
You could get drunk and cry, probably like that guy
who just called in.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But I had a dream last night where I walk
down the aisle and I actually bend over because I'm
so emotional. So I'm walking my daughter down the aisle
and then I just I get overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
So you're you're screwed right at the gates before long,
before you even get to the speech part.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, Paul, remember one thing, the more emotional you get,
the more pub you'll get at the end, the more
appreciative she you're gonna get. The crowd's gonna love you
if you get emotional. So don't think it's a bad thing.
Oh I'm telling you, and you get emotional, the crowd's
gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So you want to get through it, yes.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
But they'll remember it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I can't get through it. I won't be able to
get through it.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And then maybe I read it, but then reading it
feels you know, we don't do anything scripted, so I
don't want to do anything scripted.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
And I'm a broadcaster. Yes, Todd, I'd be.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
More worried, maybe because I'm a klutch.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
I'd be more worried about stepping on the veil of
the train, the back of the dress and doing something
like that than just talking to Especially for you speaking publicly.
I know it's an emotional time, but you're great at that.
You're you got that personality, got that charisma. You'll you know,
I'd be more worried about just like.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Tripping or something. Todd got a lot of thank you
TODs to the.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Wedding is one of the more like intimidating venues to
do stuff like that, though, Like I officiated my buddy's
wedding and I was incredibly nervous beforehand because you're like,
I don't know, everyone's dressed up nice. They're there for
like a momentous occasion that doesn't really have it's not
your occasion, but.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You see, everybody in your life is in that room exactly,
from brothers and sisters. You know, my mom and dad
aren't around. You know, you're just like, oh my god,
how did I get here? And you know, I'm trying
to like have some kind of focus. I'm trying to
look at somebody who won't make me emotional. But I
(15:14):
don't want to tell that person. I'm looking at that
person because they're not going to make me cry, Like
I might not care about.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
That, and I will offer you something. I'll come sit
in the audience.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
No, no, if Todd was there, I could just look at
Todd and I don't know if I would cry.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Whatever I could do to help get you through it.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Thank you Todd. A team player, Thank you Todd. How
about we take a break our good buddy, Nick Wright.

Speaker 10 (17:27):
I'll skip that part. Let Fritzie know. I'm definitely have

feel like we would spend a lot of time me,
you know, saying guess who that's from? So do you
want to guess? Or should I just reveal it? I
think this will be absolutely thrilling for Fritzi, and I
(17:50):
think you will be pleased as well, Dan.

Patrick All Todd, would you like to guess who would
like to sing with you or against you?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Frank?
Speaker 10 (18:02):
No, Frank, Calliando is not the answer, Tudd.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
It was terrible.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Katy Perry do.
Speaker 10 (18:08):
You think Katy Perry is texting me?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yes? Why not?
Speaker 10 (18:13):
Let me tell you this, Katy Perry is much closer
in fame and profession than Caliendo. That's a clue. Any
other guesses? Or should I just reveal it?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Paul Kenny Chesney, Okay.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
We're getting colder again. You gotta keep in mind this
is someone that I have a personal relationship with. I'm
gonna give you one more clue. I hugged this person
in the last seventy two hours.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Kanye West?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
No, and you know if I was hugging Kanye, that
would probably be something I wouldn't talk about publicly. But
you are getting very warm now, Okay, Dylan jay Z
very close? Should I just reveal it?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Wait? Man, hold on, let Marvin, we'll go around the infield. Nos.
Speaker 10 (19:09):
No, you know I'm not quite No, it's a little
too old for not that just for me to have
the personal relationship. This also has revealed you guys don't
follow me on Instagram. I guess that's fine, no problem.
Huge fan of Dan Patrick. Person that wants to go
(19:31):
bar for bar with Fritzie, my dear friend, the greatest
rapper alive.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Lil Wayne, Lil Wayne.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
Okay, Wayne, maybe wants to stop by the man came
sometime when he's out East yeah, come see you guys,
And so I thought you'd like to hear that.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Dan, Yeah, Lil Wayne Big Fritzy to awesome.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That's not necessarily.
Speaker 10 (20:00):
Okay, we can get to the regular scheduled programming. I
just wanted to pass that along.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right, let me start with what's more interesting, the
Lakers moving forward or Lebron moving forward.
Speaker 10 (20:10):
Lebron moving forward the Lakers listen. I think the Lakers
blew it. I think that when Luca's Lakers tenure is over,
there is a greater than fifty percent chance that the
best teammate he ever had was age forty and age
(20:31):
forty one Lebron James. And because the Lakers for the
last four years have been seemingly annoyed at Lebron's refusal
to fall off a cliff athletically and as a basketball player,
that they have just been like, well, we'll address the
team after Lebron. Will address the team after Lebron. They
(20:54):
were like, well, you can't expect us to have a
team ready made for Luca. We didn't expect to get
Luca except for the fact the exact type of players
need to put around Luca. You need to put it
around Lebron. Luca modeled his game after Lebron and this year. Listen,
they got unlucky with injury, but was one of you know,
when you have two guys suffer those types of soft
(21:15):
tissue injuries, does that maybe not happen if you have
a deeper, younger, more athletic roster around him. You know
this year, last year, once they got Luca, they sat
on their hands. And so I think that, and you
know how much I love Luca, but I think the
Lakers might be stuck a bit in what, all of
a sudden looks like such a deep and athletic Western conference. Meanwhile,
(21:40):
Lebron has some really interesting options on his hands. Maybe
he stays in LA I hope he doesn't. I hope
he doesn't because I don't think that team has been
particularly well run, but also because I want to see
the version of Lebron we got to see in the
playoffs at the end of his career, hand on the joystick,
(22:04):
even if he needs to have another alpha scorer around him,
like a Jalen Brunson or like a Donovan Mitchell. Uh.
But I don't third option Swiss army knife Lebron. I
He's he's too good for that role. He took that
role on Dan because he can He can do that,
(22:25):
and Luke and Austin couldn't. But that's not how I
want to see it end for him.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, but if you're going to place him outside of
the Lakers.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Clean Harden gone him there, that's it. He's like, yeah,
I mean the listen, the Knicks maybe, but the Knicks
might be. I mean, are the Knicks the greatest team ever?
They have been for two weeks. I don't, So I
don't know, and but I just the exact thing that
(22:54):
the Calves, in my opinion, foolishly brought James Harden in
to be second best player offensive initiator. Lebron can do
that without melting down twice a series in the playoffs,
and while there they play it, they play different aesthetically.
Donovan Mitchell can do the exact Kyrie Irvings stuff and
(23:18):
Dwayne Wade's stuff that Lebron is, you know, a high volume,
really good scorer alongside Bron, and then you have Alan
and Mobley as really good you know, rim protection. Like
that team makes a lot of sense. And I don't
think the Caves are gonna beat Detroit, So it'll just
be another year without making the conference finals, without Lebron
on the roster.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You brought up Jalen Brown.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
Did I say Brown? I meant Jalen Brunson. Oh, I'm
sorry if I said Jalen Brown, I apologize.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
I think I think it's Nicks or Caves. There is
a very weird, not weird, but interesting Nuggets thing because
Bron is so tight with Stan Kronki's son, Josh Cronky,
the owner of the Nuggets, Jared Dudley, who's another one
of Lebron's guys on the coaching staff. He is exactly like,
(24:09):
if the Nuggets really are just gonna try to turn
the offensive engine all the way up Lebron, you know,
taking a little bit off Joker's plate, but and being
you know, Jamal Murray's the scorer, Jokers that do it all.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Guy.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
That one's interesting, but I don't I just don't think
that's likely. I think it's probably Lakers, Cleveland or New
York with a tiny chance Golden State, but I think
tiny chance.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I'm talking to Nick Wright, host of First Things First
on Fox Sports one and What's Right with Nick Right
on YouTube wherever you get your podcast and host of
No Gamble, No Future for Poker Go. Also, you got
a factor in new management ownership with the Lakers, with
the Dodgers and their approach to things. Does that change
the Lakers approach moving forward with spending money.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
So I think it will, But I just I don't
think those Listen. I believe Bron's gonna play two more years.
I think he's gonna put in a smooth quarter century
in the NBA and have that be the final piece
of I've given more to this game than anyone could
have ever fathomed giving. So I just don't know if
(25:18):
those types of changes impact you, know that quickly on
that short of the timeline, I can I ask you.
I'm gonna be like very sincere for a moment, Can
I ask you a question?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I'm sure.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
So.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
I don't know if you listened to Lebron's whole press
conference at the last night after the game or this morning,
but he just kept talking about how he'll never his
love of the process of getting to the stadium five
hours before the game, getting to the stadium three hours
(25:57):
before practice. And he was talking about that in the
context of he'll know when it's time to retire when
he no longer loved doing that. So this is where
you know, I'm just really actually curious about that. I
think the audience will like it. I apologize to putting
you on the spot here as you have as you've
(26:18):
had this fifty year, forty five plus year broadcasting career,
is one of the reasons you have shifted from different
types of broadcasting because the process and the prep and
the things that go into the other jobs no longer
felt fulfilling to you. And it's just like this radio show.
(26:41):
This thing is the thing that you still get super
excited for because I heard him and I thought of you,
And it wasn't just because I was coming on the
show today.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I like the grind.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I like the daily I like you know, I come
in on Saturday and Sunday when we're not even on
the air, and I just I like that you just
start something, what are we going to do with it?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Who we're going to have on, what are the topics?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's three hours and then you go home and then
you start thinking about it again. So that that every
day is what always attracted me. I could never be
a seasonal broadcaster where that's my sport and then I'm off,
I it has to be every single day.
Speaker 10 (27:26):
And did you did you like, do you find because
that's the part I thought, and I thought, I was like, man,
I bet, I bet Dan's not just mailing in shows.
It's not like all right, listen, we all have you know,
rough days or rough you know. I'm not saying it,
we're all one hundred percent, but that one of the
reasons you've done it for so long and still been
(27:48):
into it is because you're not just flipping on the
microphone and having Paulie tell you what's on the docket,
like you're still putting your version of showing up to
the stadium five hours beforehand. And so I I just
I thought I heard him talking about it, and I
thought of you, and I wanted to ask you that
I apologize if that's weird.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
But no, no, because I think people are curious that,
you know, what are you getting out of it? Not
getting out of this? Why don't you want to continue?
And I think my biggest fear is to not be
great at the very end. If anything, we're more aggressive
in the last with these last two years than I've
ever been with this show of what we're doing where
(28:25):
we're going, and you know, I said, I want to
go out that way.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I want to.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I want to make sure that nobody thinks you're just
kind of showing up, because then, like that would be
the ultimate criticism that it doesn't feel like you care
as much.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Probably care more and more.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And you know, I think if it doesn't show on
me or sound on me, then it doesn't you know,
kind of trickle down to the dan nets where they
need to know I'm excited. They need to know I'm
happy about something aggressive, fun, all of that. And I
told them the last two years it must be we
must have fun and that that's all I asked them
(29:04):
to do. And I'm sure Lebron wants that. You want
to you want to go into an environment that is fun,
not on pay I'm just picking up a paycheck.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I think.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
So that's that the to turn it back a bit.
That is I think the best thing the Lakers have
going for him is Bronni's like gonna be a part
of the rotation next year. And I think I I
think one of I think JJ Reddick did an awesome
job this year in this postseason. I think he deserves
a lot of credit.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
One of his only postseason missteps was once Austin came
back Bronnie. You know those beginning of the second quarter
minutes Bronnie was getting went to zero, which totally makes
sense because of where he is in the hierarchy. What
I think JJ didn't do the math on is I
(29:57):
think you were the four to six minutes a game
getting not only peak focus, but a momentarily rejuvenated lebron
within kind of the the toughest spot of games to
stay into it. You know, where he's tired, but it's
(30:18):
not clutch crunch time yet because of the excitement of
playing with his son. And I think he also his
his focus always great, but I think it was extra
hyper of like, man, if Brownie makes a mistake, I
gotta fix it, And I think that's just not there
for Jake la Ravia, and so it was. That's one
(30:39):
It wouldn't have changed this series, but that's one thing
I kind of wish they had back.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Why do you think Steve Kirk came back to coach
the Warriors.
Speaker 10 (30:49):
I'm sure you know Steve. I don't know Steve at all, Mike,
so this is blind speculation. My gut is felt like
he owed it to Steph. I mean, twenty million is
probably nice or whatever they're paying him, But my gut
is he'd said, I'm gonna try try to have step
and I go out together. That's what I That's what
(31:11):
I would imagine is the case.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You mentioned maybe a small chance Lebron would go to
the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I like that idea.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I don't know what they're gonna do with Jimmy Butler,
Like Durant's not gonna last in Houston, right.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
You think they seem awful happy?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (31:31):
Yeah, I mean listen, I don't If David Stern was
still around Rest in Peace, I feel like he'd hold
a press conference and be like, hey, by the way,
funny thing, new.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Rules for this year.
Speaker 10 (31:47):
If you're over thirty six, your contract doesn't count against
the cap, and you know, do with that what you will.
But if that means Durant and Steph and Kawhi and
Lebron all end up on one team and it's a
traveling road show and they try to take on the
mechanical but totally vanilla Oklahoma City Thunder, it's probably not
(32:10):
bad for business boys.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm trying to think how Okac gets into the conversation
of great team of all time, like if what would
they have to do? Where you go, Okay, we can
kind of put that three in a row, three in
a row, Okay, I.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Think three in a row in So this is something
that I think is under rated, which is there is
a direct line of history on how many championships can
be won by a team or by a player. Like so,
if we just go through a Russell Ero, what's the
(32:48):
max well, I guess it's eleven in the sixties, sixties
to seventies, what's the max havlichk eight? Okay, seventies to eighties,
what's the max six eighties to nineties, what's the max
Jordan's six nineties to two thousands? What's the max Shack
or I'm sorry, Kobe Duncan five two thousands to two thousands, tens?
(33:13):
What's the max? Bronze steph four twenty twenties. Nobody's got
more than one, like everybody, And so as the league
has gotten deeper and harder, like what the maximum realistic
championships could be, one is going down. Also, we haven't
had anyone go back to back in a decade. So
of OKC all of a sudden, not only goes back
(33:36):
to back, but wins three in a row when we
haven't had that in a quarter century. I think it
will be undeniable that they're just one of the greatest,
one of the most well put together teams ever, and
one of the greatest teams ever. Unfortunately, they're not going
to because this year we all know the Timbrels are
gonna win. So I can hit that bet.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
And you put down ten grand to win two million.
Speaker 10 (33:59):
Well, listen, I it was. You know, I'm in a
few gambling consortiums dan so I was the trigger man
for that. But I don't own one hundred percent of it.
But I just I knew it was mispriced. They were
saying it was priced like Anthony Edwards, you know, had retired.
There were eight teams left. They were in round two
Anthony Edwards over the same injury Gianna suffered. They were
(34:19):
two hundred to one. The Lakers, who didn't have Luca
and they were playing the Thunder, were twenty eight to one.
I thought the Thunder, I thought Minnesota should have been
around twenty five to one. They were two hundred to one,
So I was gonna bet it. I text my buddies.
It's Kentucky Derby Saturday. You know sports books got a
lot going on. There's fights Kentucky Derby. You got a
square like me walking up to the window, like hey,
(34:40):
give me ten grand on the tea wolves. They're like, yeah,
we fill that now. All of a sudden, I got
it locked away in a safe. They win tonight. Oh boy,
that equity's just getting higher and higher.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Thank you, Nick. Good to talk to you again.
Speaker 10 (34:54):
You as well. I'll give a little Wayne your best.
Maybe one time can do a three man weave you
me and him talk little football would be fun. Talk
to you guys later, be here.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Thank you, Bud.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
That's Nick Right, host the first things first, Fox Sports one,
What's right with Nick Right on YouTube wherever you get
your podcast and host a no Gamble, No Future on
Poker Go. Lil Wayne wants a piece of you, Todd.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Let's go for it. That's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
That's exciting little wrap battle between you two. Yeah, all right,
we'll take a break. Phone calls coming up.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Reggie Miller will join us coming up next hour, and
the curious comments of Lane Kiffen about leaving Old Miss
and one of the reasons why he did in an
article in this month's Vanity Fair.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Take a break back after this.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Let me see a couple of phone calls here.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
There's an article in Vanity Fair magazine profile of Lane Kiffen,
and there's a quote that's making the rounds has to
do with why he left. One of the reasons why
he left Old Miss, and we'll have more on that
story coming up. I want to read the article or
(36:13):
at least get the context of what he's saying about
what role racism played in him leaving Old Miss, what
he was told by the parents of recruits that this
is one of the reasons why he left Old Miss.
When he found this out, Let's see Ryan in Illinois.
(36:33):
Hi Ryan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Hey? Dan?
Speaker 15 (36:37):
I got two quick things for you. One, I'm getting
married here in July, actually in Cincinnati at the Monastery.
You familiar with that venue, but wanted to get some
tips advice in the last two months of wedding planning. Also,
and maybe more importantly, I got my bachelor party coming up,
flying out tonight to go to Fort Waterdale. So many
tips and tricks of the trade that you and the
(36:59):
boys might have as we're making our last second plans.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Would appreciate that. Well.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
My philosophy was always what would my dad think if
he was here? If I was at a bachelor party,
what would my dad think? I think sometimes it's good
to have, you know, a conscience there because there'll be
people who look at it like they're on spring break,
and there are ramifications of those things that what goes
(37:29):
on at a bachelor party doesn't always stay at a
bachelor party.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yes, dealing, what are.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Your thoughts on the dad attending? I know that's a
thing sometimes.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I think the first half of the evening like if
if my dad was alive, I would have had him
go to my bachelor party.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
It was pretty lame.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
But everyone knowing even if your dad's like the coolest dad,
no one like what.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
The dinner and drinks and then you know my dad
would leave or.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You're gonna like fly him to like you know, Daytona
beach and then go there.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Didn't do destination bachelor parties. You did in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Yes, we don't need to go anywhere if at these
destination weddings bachelor parties.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Nonsense, there's what But does destination constitute leaving the country,
because for weddings, I feel like it does.
Speaker 12 (38:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
No, my daughter's got a destination wedding. I got don't
want to get on a flight and go someplace to cry, Like,
can I just cry in my own backyard?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
You can do that too. She's not getting married at
my house, but you can cry in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I know it would be really, really weird if I'm
outside crying in my backyard.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
The neighbors keep hearing noises. Trip in Vegas, h I trip?
What's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (38:48):
They good warning? Then I'm always good to speak with y'all.
Want at a few things. One, I want to call
in today on my birthday and give you an early birthday.
Wish that they'll be traveling on Friday so I won't
be able to speak with y'all. And then I had
a few things about the podcast You'll lif and Todd
and doing a life. It is entertaining. I'll tell you what.
Dylan does a great job listening to it. It seems
(39:10):
like he does the best he can to keep Fritzy
on topic. It's kind of like hurting a group of
feral cats. And then with Fritzy doing forty four minutes
while only taking three breaths, that was very impressive. So
it's the oldest thing everybody should do.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah, when's the next podcast? Is that Wednesday or Thursday?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
This week?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I believe we'll do tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
We got the Gambling Pod Thursday, so Todd's been promoted
to Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
All right, available at danpatrick dot com. It is entertaining,
I will say that. Patrick in South Carolina, Hi, Patrick,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (39:42):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Yea?
Speaker 8 (39:43):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Good?
Speaker 8 (39:46):
Good?
Speaker 9 (39:46):
I had the early birthday funny story. My eldest sister
finally got married, and of course, you know the boys
friends that she brought us. She's very trim and proper
and she marries a guy that works on cars and
does did a send my mask or whatever? But we're
(40:09):
sitting there in the in the sanctuary, and the preacher goes,
who takes this woman to be his lovely wedded wife?
Or she says, I do, And I'm thinking and sailing
silently to myself, sucker. Then behind me at the same time,
I heard my brother go sucker well enough reverberate through
(40:31):
the whole church, and I always told her was just
nothing to laughter. And after the wedding time was like,
you know, it was the best thing that could have happened.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Okay, I think I followed that. Was that a cat
in the background. I don't know what was going on.
Something's happening to that cat? Yes, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
He's saying the wedding was really tense, and in a
tense moment someone made a joke from the crowd and
broke the tension.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
That's a risk, though, yeah, h yeah, maybe somebody will
do that when I'm giving my speech. Maybe if I
knew somebody funny who could just be there, I'll take
that role.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Lane Kiffin's story, there's a quote certainly making headlines. We'll
talk about that coming up. Reggie Miller will stop by
as well. Final Hour right after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Two on this Tuesday, Gangs here ready to go. Our
good buddy Nick right from First Things First on Fox
Sports One. He'll stop buying about twenty minutes get his
thoughts on Lebron's future and is it tied to the
Lakers future. Reggie Miller will also stop by as well.
He'll be on the call for the game tonight in
(00:25):
San Antonio, with the Spurs being a ten and a
half point favored against the Timberwolves, Cavaliers with a great
second half performance from Donovan Mitchell goes for forty three.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I don't know what that's like.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You go for four in the first half and thirty
nine in the second half. As the Cavs beat the Pistons,
that series tied to two games a piece. Thunder sweep
the Lakers, and they did so with I thought a
little bit of a struggle. I felt like the Lakers
did a pretty good job with SGA. The problem is
(00:59):
sometimes you focus on one guy and you let other
guys become stars for the night. AJ Mitchell went for
twenty eight points last night Timberwolves and the Spurs tonight

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I don't think so. No. I wasn't planning on it.
Surprise party, No, No.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I made my wife swear no surprises. I don't want
any surprise.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Hert can't take it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I know I was going to say that. I said,
what if I have a heart attack and die because
of the surprise.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You don't say that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I said, well, it could happen if I walk in
and all of a sudden, I just have a towel
on and everybody goes surprise I dropped the towel and
then they have heart attacks.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yes, Paully, I think ten years ago your party was
a surprise party.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
The one is the golf course?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That was and they couldn't get me to go, right,
I remember there was an issue.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, Mike, I wasn't going.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I you know, my wife said, hey, you got to
go over and pick up uh somebody at the golf course.
And I said, uh no, have you know jack my
son go? She goes, no, no, no, you need to go.
So I'm not dressed in accordance to having a party.
And I walk in and they do this surprise thing
and I go, oh and she's done this three times now.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, but I said, no, no surprises, we don't need it.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Yes, Tom, If you kept refusing to go, eventually she'd
be like, Danna, it's a surprise party.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
You have to go there. Everyone's okay. Now you've ruined
it because you were refusing to go.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Thank you to yes, pony.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
I try to follow that.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Are you one of those people who says I don't
want anything special for my birthday and then when they
don't do anything special for your birthday you sulk?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, yeah I knew the answer to that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You know, when when my kids say, or my wife says,
you have everything I said, well, now there's a couple
other things out there that i'd like. There's another Porsche
out there. It's just you know, other roll Lex out there.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yes, we're already getting you a Porsche for your retirement gift.
In we're not made of money over here. Okay, we
can't get you two cars, thank you. We can get
something else though.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
No, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Perhaps you'd like a rec tech maybe me and all
the boisle chick.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I don't need anything. I don't need cigars, I don't
I don't need anything. I mean I would like to
have things. I don't need anything.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Booz Booh's always good because.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
My wife will say, do you really need an other watch?
And I go, no, I don't need it, but I wanted, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
A bunch of years ago, when you and I first
started working together, I didn't have much dough and I went.
I was in New York City at Nett Sherman's. It's
like this tobacco place. It's pretty famous, you know it,
And I bought you what to me was an expensive lighter.
It was really solid and heavy. The next day we
went on a road trip for the Dan Patrick Show,
and it got confiscated at.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Security, and they always say, if you want to go
back out and mail it to yourself. I go, I'm
gonna have to get back in that line again, and
they go yeah. I'm thinking who does that? Who actually
gets out of line? Who has time? And you know
that guy's going, man, this is gonna be my liner.
Click click click click click click.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yes, Dylan, that happened to me going into MSG.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I had like a tiny little like Swiss army knife
on my keychain and they're like, you got to throw
that out. I was like, what am I gonna do
with thirty thousand people in MSGU with like a one
inch long little knife? And I think he wanted it too.
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I was behind a woman who not only had water,
a bottle of water inner luggage, but also had a
like a pen knife, like a Swiss army knife, and
I'm going, is this your first time going through security?
I'm saying this to myself, but she's like, oh, I
forgot the water. It's like the size of a barrel.
(05:29):
Oh I didn't know I had the knife.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm going, that is not my glock. I swear to.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That that's what I don't understand when you go man,
I did not remember I brought my gun.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yes, Tom, it's just a flight.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
It's not an episode of Survivor where you need all
these tools and drinks. They'll give you water and you
don't need this Swiss army.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Knif All right, well, thank you again, Todd. National Limerick
Day if you missed last hour. Todd gave us a
limerick when he went to the confessional.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a new item, a new segment here where we
used to do this at the old studio. And I said,
I'm going to bring it back. And uh, it's kind
of an interrogation room for sixty seconds. And Todd has
two limericks. I said, you only get to do one,
so I said you can do one in the confessional.
So I don't know how well it went. I didn't
(06:21):
hear anybody laughing. I didn't hear any applause.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
So it's a little birthday.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Tribute to Weeks, which was a little sensitive about because
the first line described ups and downs of one's career,
which I needed for the rhyme, not because there's an accuracy.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And he, of course is our cameraman, yes, our camera. Yeah,
sometimes you have to elaborate a little bit.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Okay, thank you, Todd, so weeks are cameraman. It's his
birthday today. Mine is on Friday, no surprises.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yes, Paul, you know you're gonna get Friday Fritzy on
your birthday. No that you like it or not.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, that's my wish to not have Friday Fritzy.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
That is your birthday present for me.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, quiet, yeah, great?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
All right, So Nick Rydell join us coming up here
in a little bit. Christ and Syracuse lead just off
over two. Hi, Chris Hey, thanks as always.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Dan Hey had a couple. I got some Celtics and
Knicks for you. And also you were mentioning last hours
about the Lakers as an organization, they got to do
what's best to make their king better. And I always
remember when the Red Sox got rid of Nomar. That
was a business decision that didn't make the fans happy,
and that led directly to a World Series a few
months later. And over the last several years, the Knicks
(07:29):
came so close to pulling the trigger to acquire Joel
Embiide and I'm so glad they held off and ended
up with Kat and an example of how hungry Nick
fans are for a title. The summer night, the Knicks
acquired the last piece of the puzzle, mikel Bridges, from
their crosstown rival, the Nets, for five first round picks.
The Yankees were playing the metson City Field, and when
(07:50):
they flashed the news on the scoreboard, Yankee and Matt
fans in unison started chanting, Let's go Knicks. And also
Jalen Brown said this year was his favorite years the Celtic.
It kind of tells you he may want to fly
solo as the guy without Jason Tatum and certainly is
the first time he hitted it that. I just hope
they both realize they can achieve so much more together
(08:12):
collectively down the road than they ever would do it apart.
And Dan, I wanted to throw at you. I was thinking,
as a Nick fan, the biggest and most loyal celebrity
for fans over the long haul, and I got four
of them. I'm gonna go with my fourth. First, I
think it would be Ben Stiller because he hasn't been
around that much. Steven A at three, Spike It two,
(08:34):
and then I'm gonna go Woody all On at one,
and also Dan. I remember you telling the caller once
that when your child is born, take a picture every
day of them for the first year because they changed
so much.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes, when you think about it, your child in his
or her first year changes more than any other year
in their life. And take a photo every day. Let's
see Luke and text is hi?
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Luke?
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Hey Dan? First time?
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Long time?
Speaker 9 (09:05):
Script's one. I got a potential ball question. Do you
gut it's okay to skip your.
Speaker 11 (09:14):
Son's little league baseball game to go watch Victor Limbyama?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Wait, did you already do it?
Speaker 8 (09:21):
Luke?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Not yet? Are you doing it tonight?
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Sir? How old is he.
Speaker 12 (09:30):
Nine?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
How good is he?
Speaker 9 (09:34):
He's pretty good?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, you know what. I would go to the basketball game,
all right?
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Could bring the kid to the game, unless he's playing
in his game while you're the game. Basketball games going on.
But if he's pretty good, there's going to be more
games for you to go to. Might not get too
many opportunities to see the Spurs.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yes, Todd, what.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
If that game is like the it's greatest game ever?
Hits him home run.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
And goes four for four and gets the game winning
hit or catch and then you've got to live with
picking Wenby over your own kid.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
He's only nine.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, but at nine years old you can be you
can do something.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Very pitch at nine and not well.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
I was got a couple of All star teams, granted
they were looking for a nine guy that he wanted forfeits.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I was like, I have every attack to play.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
First name Nate in La Hi, Nate, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 13 (10:25):
Beg your morning, Dan. I also have a potential poll
question and a personal question for you, if my time
permits a pole question. Which is the hardest first time
job MLB manager, NBA head coach, NFL head coach, or
first time dan at.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I would think the NFL, because you're running an organization
and you got a lot of people, a lot of
moving parts, So I would I would definitely say being
an NFL being a dan at Marvin and Dylan were
around the show for a long tom and then they
got the opportunity to sit in their chairs, so they
knew the feeld of the show.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
They knew everybody involved in it.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Therefore, I mean the hard part is you're introducing somebody
new to the audience and then you're replacing seat, and
you're replacing Mick Lovin. You know that transition can be difficult,
but these two guys who've handled it extremely well.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yes feeling Yeah, Well, you get me around an NFL
organization for a couple of years, I'll take them right
to the promise.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh you will tell you. Okay, all right, let's see
Tom and Nebraska. Good morning Tom.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
What do you have for me?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (11:37):
Good morning guys.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Dan.
Speaker 12 (11:39):
For a couple of years. For several years, you've been
giving great advice as far as speeches go, whether it
be weddings, what have you. The advice is always keep
it short, keep it sweet, make it about them. And
I'm like Todd, it's not the stand up comedy hour.
The second thing was a couple of years ago at
my sister's wedding. I put this into practice and was
invited to say a few words. I am reading off
(12:01):
the speech. I go outside the venue, which happens to
be an open area bar. I'm practicing the speech in
a quiet corner and I'm kind of tearing up, sobbing
a little bit. When a cop happens to come up
and walk up behind me. I explain what I'm doing,
but she doesn't believe me, so I just said, I'm
reading the speech off, I'm just a little emotional. I
think she thinks I'm inebriated, so she goes read it
(12:21):
to me.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
So I do.
Speaker 12 (12:23):
I read the speech and again get very emotional, start
tearing up. When she finally believes, he said okay, okay,
okay and gives me a great big hug. But thought
i'd share that story with you that it's great advice.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, thank you, Tom.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Hopefully that won't happen to me when I give this
speech at my daughter's wedding. Man, I'm getting a lot
of advice now. Everybody's an expert on this. Two of
my daughters. They want to tell me how to do it.
You don't do this, do that my way. Don't be joky,
it's serious.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yes, Dally, I feel like you got a pretty idea
of what you need to do.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You know, Oh I do, But even practicing, I tear up. Yeah,
that's not good.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
You could get drunk and cry, probably like that guy
who just called in.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But I had a dream last night where I walk
down the aisle and I actually bend over because I'm
so emotional. So I'm walking my daughter down the aisle
and then I just I get overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
So you're you're screwed right at the gates before long,
before you even get to the speech part.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, Paul, remember one thing, the more emotional you get,
the more pub you'll get at the end, the more
appreciative she you're gonna get. The crowd's gonna love you
if you get emotional. So don't think it's a bad thing.
Oh I'm telling you, and you get emotional, the crowd's
gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So you want to get through it, yes.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
But they'll remember it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I can't get through it. I won't be able to
get through it.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And then maybe I read it, but then reading it
feels you know, we don't do anything scripted, so I
don't want to do anything scripted.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
And I'm a broadcaster. Yes, Todd, I'd be.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
More worried, maybe because I'm a klutch.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
I'd be more worried about stepping on the veil of
the train, the back of the dress and doing something
like that than just talking to Especially for you speaking publicly.
I know it's an emotional time, but you're great at that.
You're you got that personality, got that charisma. You'll you know,
I'd be more worried about just like.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Tripping or something. Todd got a lot of thank you
TODs to the.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Wedding is one of the more like intimidating venues to
do stuff like that, though, Like I officiated my buddy's
wedding and I was incredibly nervous beforehand because you're like,
I don't know, everyone's dressed up nice. They're there for
like a momentous occasion that doesn't really have it's not
your occasion, but.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You see, everybody in your life is in that room exactly,
from brothers and sisters. You know, my mom and dad
aren't around. You know, you're just like, oh my god,
how did I get here? And you know, I'm trying
to like have some kind of focus. I'm trying to
look at somebody who won't make me emotional. But I
(15:14):
don't want to tell that person. I'm looking at that
person because they're not going to make me cry, Like
I might not care about.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
That, and I will offer you something. I'll come sit
in the audience.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
No, no, if Todd was there, I could just look at
Todd and I don't know if I would cry.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Whatever I could do to help get you through it.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Thank you Todd. A team player, Thank you Todd. How
about we take a break our good buddy, Nick Wright.

I'm going to edit it for clarity and language. I
(17:16):
efin love Dan p I see her about to bless him.
That's too bleep and dope, first of all. Second of all,
I love how you appear on shows.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
I'll skip that part. Let Fritzie know. I'm definitely have
to go bar for bar with him one day. I
feel like we would spend a lot of time me,
you know, saying guess who that's from? So do you
want to guess? Or should I just reveal it? I
think this will be absolutely thrilling for Fritzi, and I
(17:50):
think you will be pleased as well, Dan.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Patrick All Todd, would you like to guess who would
like to sing with you or against you?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Frank?
Speaker 10 (18:02):
No, Frank, Calliando is not the answer, Tudd.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
It was terrible.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Katy Perry do.
Speaker 10 (18:08):
You think Katy Perry is texting me?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yes? Why not?
Speaker 10 (18:13):
Let me tell you this, Katy Perry is much closer
in fame and profession than Caliendo. That's a clue. Any
other guesses? Or should I just reveal it?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Paul Kenny Chesney, Okay.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
We're getting colder again. You gotta keep in mind this
is someone that I have a personal relationship with. I'm
gonna give you one more clue. I hugged this person
in the last seventy two hours.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Kanye West?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
No, and you know if I was hugging Kanye, that
would probably be something I wouldn't talk about publicly. But
you are getting very warm now, Okay, Dylan jay Z
very close? Should I just reveal it?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Wait? Man, hold on, let Marvin, we'll go around the infield. Nos.
Speaker 10 (19:09):
No, you know I'm not quite No, it's a little
too old for not that just for me to have
the personal relationship. This also has revealed you guys don't
follow me on Instagram. I guess that's fine, no problem.
Huge fan of Dan Patrick. Person that wants to go
(19:31):
bar for bar with Fritzie, my dear friend, the greatest
rapper alive.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Lil Wayne, Lil Wayne.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
Okay, Wayne, maybe wants to stop by the man came
sometime when he's out East yeah, come see you guys,
And so I thought you'd like to hear that.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Dan, Yeah, Lil Wayne Big Fritzy to awesome.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That's not necessarily.
Speaker 10 (20:00):
Okay, we can get to the regular scheduled programming. I
just wanted to pass that along.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right, let me start with what's more interesting, the
Lakers moving forward or Lebron moving forward.
Speaker 10 (20:10):
Lebron moving forward the Lakers listen. I think the Lakers
blew it. I think that when Luca's Lakers tenure is over,
there is a greater than fifty percent chance that the
best teammate he ever had was age forty and age
(20:31):
forty one Lebron James. And because the Lakers for the
last four years have been seemingly annoyed at Lebron's refusal
to fall off a cliff athletically and as a basketball player,
that they have just been like, well, we'll address the
team after Lebron. Will address the team after Lebron. They
(20:54):
were like, well, you can't expect us to have a
team ready made for Luca. We didn't expect to get
Luca except for the fact the exact type of players
need to put around Luca. You need to put it
around Lebron. Luca modeled his game after Lebron and this year. Listen,
they got unlucky with injury, but was one of you know,
when you have two guys suffer those types of soft
(21:15):
tissue injuries, does that maybe not happen if you have
a deeper, younger, more athletic roster around him. You know
this year, last year, once they got Luca, they sat
on their hands. And so I think that, and you
know how much I love Luca, but I think the
Lakers might be stuck a bit in what, all of
a sudden looks like such a deep and athletic Western conference. Meanwhile,
(21:40):
Lebron has some really interesting options on his hands. Maybe
he stays in LA I hope he doesn't. I hope
he doesn't because I don't think that team has been
particularly well run, but also because I want to see
the version of Lebron we got to see in the
playoffs at the end of his career, hand on the joystick,
(22:04):
even if he needs to have another alpha scorer around him,
like a Jalen Brunson or like a Donovan Mitchell. Uh.
But I don't third option Swiss army knife Lebron. I
He's he's too good for that role. He took that
role on Dan because he can He can do that,
(22:25):
and Luke and Austin couldn't. But that's not how I
want to see it end for him.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, but if you're going to place him outside of
the Lakers.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Clean Harden gone him there, that's it. He's like, yeah,
I mean the listen, the Knicks maybe, but the Knicks
might be. I mean, are the Knicks the greatest team ever?
They have been for two weeks. I don't, So I
don't know, and but I just the exact thing that
(22:54):
the Calves, in my opinion, foolishly brought James Harden in
to be second best player offensive initiator. Lebron can do
that without melting down twice a series in the playoffs,
and while there they play it, they play different aesthetically.
Donovan Mitchell can do the exact Kyrie Irvings stuff and
(23:18):
Dwayne Wade's stuff that Lebron is, you know, a high volume,
really good scorer alongside Bron, and then you have Alan
and Mobley as really good you know, rim protection. Like
that team makes a lot of sense. And I don't
think the Caves are gonna beat Detroit, So it'll just
be another year without making the conference finals, without Lebron
on the roster.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You brought up Jalen Brown.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
Did I say Brown? I meant Jalen Brunson. Oh, I'm
sorry if I said Jalen Brown, I apologize.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
I think I think it's Nicks or Caves. There is
a very weird, not weird, but interesting Nuggets thing because
Bron is so tight with Stan Kronki's son, Josh Cronky,
the owner of the Nuggets, Jared Dudley, who's another one
of Lebron's guys on the coaching staff. He is exactly like,
(24:09):
if the Nuggets really are just gonna try to turn
the offensive engine all the way up Lebron, you know,
taking a little bit off Joker's plate, but and being
you know, Jamal Murray's the scorer, Jokers that do it all.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Guy.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
That one's interesting, but I don't I just don't think
that's likely. I think it's probably Lakers, Cleveland or New
York with a tiny chance Golden State, but I think
tiny chance.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I'm talking to Nick Wright, host of First Things First
on Fox Sports one and What's Right with Nick Right
on YouTube wherever you get your podcast and host of
No Gamble, No Future for Poker Go. Also, you got
a factor in new management ownership with the Lakers, with
the Dodgers and their approach to things. Does that change
the Lakers approach moving forward with spending money.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
So I think it will, But I just I don't
think those Listen. I believe Bron's gonna play two more years.
I think he's gonna put in a smooth quarter century
in the NBA and have that be the final piece
of I've given more to this game than anyone could
have ever fathomed giving. So I just don't know if
(25:18):
those types of changes impact you, know that quickly on
that short of the timeline, I can I ask you.
I'm gonna be like very sincere for a moment, Can
I ask you a question?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I'm sure.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
So.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
I don't know if you listened to Lebron's whole press
conference at the last night after the game or this morning,
but he just kept talking about how he'll never his
love of the process of getting to the stadium five
hours before the game, getting to the stadium three hours
(25:57):
before practice. And he was talking about that in the
context of he'll know when it's time to retire when
he no longer loved doing that. So this is where
you know, I'm just really actually curious about that. I
think the audience will like it. I apologize to putting
you on the spot here as you have as you've
(26:18):
had this fifty year, forty five plus year broadcasting career,
is one of the reasons you have shifted from different
types of broadcasting because the process and the prep and
the things that go into the other jobs no longer
felt fulfilling to you. And it's just like this radio show.
(26:41):
This thing is the thing that you still get super
excited for because I heard him and I thought of you,
And it wasn't just because I was coming on the
show today.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I like the grind.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I like the daily I like you know, I come
in on Saturday and Sunday when we're not even on
the air, and I just I like that you just
start something, what are we going to do with it?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Who we're going to have on, what are the topics?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's three hours and then you go home and then
you start thinking about it again. So that that every
day is what always attracted me. I could never be
a seasonal broadcaster where that's my sport and then I'm off,
I it has to be every single day.
Speaker 10 (27:26):
And did you did you like, do you find because
that's the part I thought, and I thought, I was like, man,
I bet, I bet Dan's not just mailing in shows.
It's not like all right, listen, we all have you know,
rough days or rough you know. I'm not saying it,
we're all one hundred percent, but that one of the
reasons you've done it for so long and still been
(27:48):
into it is because you're not just flipping on the
microphone and having Paulie tell you what's on the docket,
like you're still putting your version of showing up to
the stadium five hours beforehand. And so I I just
I thought I heard him talking about it, and I
thought of you, and I wanted to ask you that
I apologize if that's weird.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
But no, no, because I think people are curious that,
you know, what are you getting out of it? Not
getting out of this? Why don't you want to continue?
And I think my biggest fear is to not be
great at the very end. If anything, we're more aggressive
in the last with these last two years than I've
ever been with this show of what we're doing where
(28:25):
we're going, and you know, I said, I want to
go out that way.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I want to.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I want to make sure that nobody thinks you're just
kind of showing up, because then, like that would be
the ultimate criticism that it doesn't feel like you care
as much.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Probably care more and more.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And you know, I think if it doesn't show on
me or sound on me, then it doesn't you know,
kind of trickle down to the dan nets where they
need to know I'm excited. They need to know I'm
happy about something aggressive, fun, all of that. And I
told them the last two years it must be we
must have fun and that that's all I asked them
(29:04):
to do. And I'm sure Lebron wants that. You want
to you want to go into an environment that is fun,
not on pay I'm just picking up a paycheck.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I think.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
So that's that the to turn it back a bit.
That is I think the best thing the Lakers have
going for him is Bronni's like gonna be a part
of the rotation next year. And I think I I
think one of I think JJ Reddick did an awesome
job this year in this postseason. I think he deserves
a lot of credit.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
One of his only postseason missteps was once Austin came
back Bronnie. You know those beginning of the second quarter
minutes Bronnie was getting went to zero, which totally makes
sense because of where he is in the hierarchy. What
I think JJ didn't do the math on is I
(29:57):
think you were the four to six minutes a game
getting not only peak focus, but a momentarily rejuvenated lebron
within kind of the the toughest spot of games to
stay into it. You know, where he's tired, but it's
(30:18):
not clutch crunch time yet because of the excitement of
playing with his son. And I think he also his
his focus always great, but I think it was extra
hyper of like, man, if Brownie makes a mistake, I
gotta fix it, And I think that's just not there
for Jake la Ravia, and so it was. That's one
(30:39):
It wouldn't have changed this series, but that's one thing
I kind of wish they had back.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Why do you think Steve Kirk came back to coach
the Warriors.
Speaker 10 (30:49):
I'm sure you know Steve. I don't know Steve at all, Mike,
so this is blind speculation. My gut is felt like
he owed it to Steph. I mean, twenty million is
probably nice or whatever they're paying him, But my gut
is he'd said, I'm gonna try try to have step
and I go out together. That's what I That's what
(31:11):
I would imagine is the case.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You mentioned maybe a small chance Lebron would go to
the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I like that idea.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I don't know what they're gonna do with Jimmy Butler,
Like Durant's not gonna last in Houston, right.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
You think they seem awful happy?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (31:31):
Yeah, I mean listen, I don't If David Stern was
still around Rest in Peace, I feel like he'd hold
a press conference and be like, hey, by the way,
funny thing, new.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Rules for this year.
Speaker 10 (31:47):
If you're over thirty six, your contract doesn't count against
the cap, and you know, do with that what you will.
But if that means Durant and Steph and Kawhi and
Lebron all end up on one team and it's a
traveling road show and they try to take on the
mechanical but totally vanilla Oklahoma City Thunder, it's probably not
(32:10):
bad for business boys.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm trying to think how Okac gets into the conversation
of great team of all time, like if what would
they have to do? Where you go, Okay, we can
kind of put that three in a row, three in
a row, Okay, I.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Think three in a row in So this is something
that I think is under rated, which is there is
a direct line of history on how many championships can
be won by a team or by a player. Like so,
if we just go through a Russell Ero, what's the
(32:48):
max well, I guess it's eleven in the sixties, sixties
to seventies, what's the max havlichk eight? Okay, seventies to eighties,
what's the max six eighties to nineties, what's the max
Jordan's six nineties to two thousands? What's the max Shack
or I'm sorry, Kobe Duncan five two thousands to two thousands, tens?
(33:13):
What's the max? Bronze steph four twenty twenties. Nobody's got
more than one, like everybody, And so as the league
has gotten deeper and harder, like what the maximum realistic
championships could be, one is going down. Also, we haven't
had anyone go back to back in a decade. So
of OKC all of a sudden, not only goes back
(33:36):
to back, but wins three in a row when we
haven't had that in a quarter century. I think it
will be undeniable that they're just one of the greatest,
one of the most well put together teams ever, and
one of the greatest teams ever. Unfortunately, they're not going
to because this year we all know the Timbrels are
gonna win. So I can hit that bet.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
And you put down ten grand to win two million.
Speaker 10 (33:59):
Well, listen, I it was. You know, I'm in a
few gambling consortiums dan so I was the trigger man
for that. But I don't own one hundred percent of it.
But I just I knew it was mispriced. They were
saying it was priced like Anthony Edwards, you know, had retired.
There were eight teams left. They were in round two
Anthony Edwards over the same injury Gianna suffered. They were
(34:19):
two hundred to one. The Lakers, who didn't have Luca
and they were playing the Thunder, were twenty eight to one.
I thought the Thunder, I thought Minnesota should have been
around twenty five to one. They were two hundred to one,
So I was gonna bet it. I text my buddies.
It's Kentucky Derby Saturday. You know sports books got a
lot going on. There's fights Kentucky Derby. You got a
square like me walking up to the window, like hey,
(34:40):
give me ten grand on the tea wolves. They're like, yeah,
we fill that now. All of a sudden, I got
it locked away in a safe. They win tonight. Oh boy,
that equity's just getting higher and higher.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Thank you, Nick. Good to talk to you again.
Speaker 10 (34:54):
You as well. I'll give a little Wayne your best.
Maybe one time can do a three man weave you
me and him talk little football would be fun. Talk
to you guys later, be here.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Thank you, Bud.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
Let's go for it. That's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
That's exciting little wrap battle between you two. Yeah, all right,
we'll take a break. Phone calls coming up.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Reggie Miller will join us coming up next hour, and
the curious comments of Lane Kiffen about leaving Old Miss
and one of the reasons why he did in an
article in this month's Vanity Fair.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Take a break back after this.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Let me see a couple of phone calls here.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
There's an article in Vanity Fair magazine profile of Lane Kiffen,
and there's a quote that's making the rounds has to
do with why he left. One of the reasons why
he left Old Miss, and we'll have more on that
story coming up. I want to read the article or
(36:13):
at least get the context of what he's saying about
what role racism played in him leaving Old Miss, what
he was told by the parents of recruits that this
is one of the reasons why he left Old Miss.
When he found this out, Let's see Ryan in Illinois.
(36:33):
Hi Ryan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Hey? Dan?
Speaker 15 (36:37):
I got two quick things for you. One, I'm getting
married here in July, actually in Cincinnati at the Monastery.
You familiar with that venue, but wanted to get some
tips advice in the last two months of wedding planning. Also,
and maybe more importantly, I got my bachelor party coming up,
flying out tonight to go to Fort Waterdale. So many
tips and tricks of the trade that you and the
(36:59):
boys might have as we're making our last second plans.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Would appreciate that. Well.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
My philosophy was always what would my dad think if
he was here? If I was at a bachelor party,
what would my dad think? I think sometimes it's good
to have, you know, a conscience there because there'll be
people who look at it like they're on spring break,
and there are ramifications of those things that what goes
(37:29):
on at a bachelor party doesn't always stay at a
bachelor party.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yes, dealing, what are.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Your thoughts on the dad attending? I know that's a
thing sometimes.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I think the first half of the evening like if
if my dad was alive, I would have had him
go to my bachelor party.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
It was pretty lame.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
But everyone knowing even if your dad's like the coolest dad,
no one like what.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
The dinner and drinks and then you know my dad
would leave or.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You're gonna like fly him to like you know, Daytona
beach and then go there.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Didn't do destination bachelor parties. You did in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Yes, we don't need to go anywhere if at these
destination weddings bachelor parties.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Nonsense, there's what But does destination constitute leaving the country,
because for weddings, I feel like it does.
Speaker 12 (38:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
No, my daughter's got a destination wedding. I got don't
want to get on a flight and go someplace to cry, Like,
can I just cry in my own backyard?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
You can do that too. She's not getting married at
my house, but you can cry in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I know it would be really, really weird if I'm
outside crying in my backyard.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
The neighbors keep hearing noises. Trip in Vegas, h I trip?
What's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (38:48):
They good warning? Then I'm always good to speak with y'all.
Want at a few things. One, I want to call
in today on my birthday and give you an early birthday.
Wish that they'll be traveling on Friday so I won't
be able to speak with y'all. And then I had
a few things about the podcast You'll lif and Todd
and doing a life. It is entertaining. I'll tell you what.
Dylan does a great job listening to it. It seems
(39:10):
like he does the best he can to keep Fritzy
on topic. It's kind of like hurting a group of
feral cats. And then with Fritzy doing forty four minutes
while only taking three breaths, that was very impressive. So
it's the oldest thing everybody should do.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah, when's the next podcast? Is that Wednesday or Thursday?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
This week?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I believe we'll do tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
We got the Gambling Pod Thursday, so Todd's been promoted
to Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
All right, available at danpatrick dot com. It is entertaining,
I will say that. Patrick in South Carolina, Hi, Patrick,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (39:42):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Yea?
Speaker 8 (39:43):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Good?
Speaker 8 (39:46):
Good?
Speaker 9 (39:46):
I had the early birthday funny story. My eldest sister
finally got married, and of course, you know the boys
friends that she brought us. She's very trim and proper
and she marries a guy that works on cars and
does did a send my mask or whatever? But we're
(40:09):
sitting there in the in the sanctuary, and the preacher goes,
who takes this woman to be his lovely wedded wife?
Or she says, I do, And I'm thinking and sailing
silently to myself, sucker. Then behind me at the same time,
I heard my brother go sucker well enough reverberate through
(40:31):
the whole church, and I always told her was just
nothing to laughter. And after the wedding time was like,
you know, it was the best thing that could have happened.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Okay, I think I followed that. Was that a cat
in the background. I don't know what was going on.
Something's happening to that cat? Yes, yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
He's saying the wedding was really tense, and in a
tense moment someone made a joke from the crowd and
broke the tension.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
That's a risk, though, yeah, h yeah, maybe somebody will
do that when I'm giving my speech. Maybe if I
knew somebody funny who could just be there, I'll take
that role.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Lane Kiffin's story, there's a quote certainly making headlines. We'll
talk about that coming up. Reggie Miller will stop by
as well. Final Hour right after this
