Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Thursday, Dan in the Dan
Nuts Dan Patrick Show check in with the Celtics after
they lost again. Nicks come back from twenty down. They're
up two to zero in the series. Game three will
be Saturday afternoon in New York City. Thunder roll the
Nuggets one forty nine to one oh six. That series
tied at a game apiece and the Warriors are ten
(00:26):
and a half point underdogs at Minnesota coming up in
game two. The injury to Steph Curry, the initial report
was he would be out for a game. I text
the Dan Nets and I said, he's out for the
next couple of games. He's not coming back until at
least game five. They have upgraded that as far as
the report, he's been downgraded even further. But he probably
(00:48):
is not coming back for at least a week, and
that would mean he'll probably be back for Game five.
Best case scenario. And if you're Golden State, if you
can somehow steal this game and go back home, you
know Minnesota is going to show up at some point
and maybe the series is even at two apiece. Best
case scenario and you get Steph back for Game five.
(01:09):
One thing to focus on tonight if you watch the game.
I know we normally don't focus on this is Golden
State's defense. Since they got Jimmy Butler, you got Draymond Green.
They are a great defensive team and you saw that
against Minnesota. They frustrated them. They didn't even get ninety points.
But that would be something to keep an eye on.
If Golden State is going to steal this one, they'll
(01:30):
steal it by playing great defense again. Eight seven to
seven three DP show operator Tyler, the birthday boy sitting by.
He'll take your calls. We'll check in with Cedric Maxwell,
the former Celtic great and Celtic analyst. He'll join us momentarily.
The actor Vince Vaughn we'll join us coming up a
little bit later on as well. Pole question Seaton for
(01:50):
hour two is going to be what, by the way,
we sail OAF you're watching on Peacock. That's our streaming partner,
and we say good morning to our radio affiliates around
the country. Yes, yeah, we got up there right now.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
If you were betting Knicks in seven or Celtics in
six right now, that just tied.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
At fifty to fifty. Boy, fifty to fifty, let's bring
in Cornbread Maxwell, Celtics radio analyst and former MVP in
the nineteen eighty one NBA Finals. All right, Cedric, how
do you explain that Celtics are down two to OHO
and heading to New York on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Didn't shoot the ball? Will It was very simple, and
didn't execute early in the basketball game. The first two
games they shot the ball, well, they executed, and then
they got executed in those second halfs. They didn't play
with any ferocity, they didn't play any defense, and the
Knicks just the Knicks deserved the win. And then then
(02:47):
I thought I had I thought people were noxious in LA.
When I thought about the Laker fans, they got nothing.
On the Nick fans, they got nothing. I have gone
to another hYP of h Now, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
God, oh boy, wait till Saturday night, Wait till.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Wait till they lose Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's now a lot of analysts. You got a lot
of experts saying the Celtics need to change. You're not
making threes, go inside, get to the free throw line.
Can they change? And do you buy into that offensive
philosophy when you're not shooting well from three point range
to change it up.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, Dan, you know I was. I was old schooled.
So we played in the paint with Berr McHale Parish,
those guys, we played in the paint. But I'll put
it this way. When you went to the prom and
you with your pretty girlfriend, did you change and see
another girl and he went home with the other one. No,
you stayed the course and you did what you normally do.
You stayed with And Joe Miszoula believes that his team
(03:53):
is going to shoot better. They can't shoot as poorly
as they have in the lad in these two halves
and lose it basketball game again.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Is Jason Tatum in your mind a top five player? Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yes, yes, and uh then I asked you one of
these questions. We'll talk about one of the greatest power
for ards of all time, Kevin McHale. The all main
points he averaged in the championship game against championship series
against the Houston Rockets in nineteen eighty one. Can you
take a guess.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Ten points four four points.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
So what I'm saying by that is the others have
to do better. You got to get if Tatum isn't
shooting the ball well, Brown has to step up. The
year that Larry Bird had in nineteen eighty one, he
averaged thirteen points, fifteen points, but he averaged fifteen rebounds.
So other people have to do other things to step
up and make it easier for Tatum when he's not
(04:51):
shooting the ball.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So okay, let's run down the list here if he's
in the top five. So joker, okay, s g A, Yes,
do you put Luca top five? No? Uh huh no,
Anthony Edwards, I wouldn't put him before Tatum, Jannish.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Up and down.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think I think he had a better I think
Jason Tatum had a better year than Yannis. So I
mean there's no I mean you if you go then
there's no clear cut. So yeah, so you can't tell,
all right, you said, Jannis Tatum? Where else you going
with that?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I probably still put Luca there.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I wouldn't put Luca there. No, No, Luca doesn't. Luca
doesn't play enough defense. And this is why I have
to believe in the great Kendrick Perkins. He said, Luca
might be the best superstar non defensive player in the
history of basketball. He can score your points, but he
gives them up in bunches, So I can't go that way.
I love his greatness on the offensive end, but not
(05:58):
on the defensive end.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But you know what, pick and choose with that, because
did anybody ever go man Magic Johnson what a defender?
No one ever said anything about Magic's defense. Bird was
not a good defender, Barkley said, as long as Larry's
on the floor, there's always somebody who's worse on defense
than him.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Well, let me let me say this there, Dan, do
you know that Larry Bird made all defensive teams several times.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, but because he came up with steals, he played
the passing lanes, he couldn't guard. He wasn't guarding. You
come on, you probably towrdsed him in practice.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So we're talking. You're talking about guys who were great
on both ends of the floor. And this is what
I love about Tatum Tatum is Tatum has been a
hell of a defender and he's also been a great rebound.
What he didn't do in these last couple of games,
he didn't shoot the ball will and normally Jalen Brown
is able to pick him up or for zingis, but
(06:54):
whatever this is is going on with Porzingis hasn't really
really let it happen.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The Knicks haven't played great though. I think you know,
everybody keeps focusing on Boston hasn't played their game. The
Knicks haven't played great. I mean, to be down by
twenty points in two consecutive games. I think they just
they they have patients, and they're kind of like the
puncher who's gonna take three punches and give you one
in return.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
That that might be true. And I think the thing
is Josh Hard has played extremely well. He's been the
key to what he had twenty three points. You say
you're gonna get something from Carl Nanthney Towns, You're gonna
have to give up something from Brunson. But when you
have him scoring the way and then Bridges, who really
has disappeared. All the Knicks were complaining about, oh, we
gave these draft choices. He showed up last night and
(07:44):
scored the basketball. So in different ways, the Knicks have
played very effective basketball in the second half, but also
in the second halves of these games, the Celtants have collapsed.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
All right, what has to happen on Saturday night right
out of the gate right out.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
They gave be aggressive.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Uh take a ball. Are we shooting threes?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
You're still gonna shoot threes.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You're still gonna shoot.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You're still gonna shoot the threes, but you're gonna be
a little bit more aggressive about taking the ball to
the paint. One thing the Celtics did extremely well was
when you saw Drew Holliday take Brunton and the paint
and score on him repeatedly. That's one of the keys
that you have to do to occupy a great score.
What you have to do is attack him on his
defensive band.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You I think made one three pointer in your career, Yes,
I did you remember that one?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I do.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It was in Houston and in that game only four
three pointers were were taken in that particular game. So
so as you like to say, what's your point there,
what's your what's your point?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I love you? If Bird played, now, how many three
pointers is he allowed to take? Fourteen? Fifteen?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
And I talked to a guy who was like that
every time he lined up to take a three. Whin
he's with the Celtics. Early in his career, people saw
a boarding him. I talked to him about a couple
of weeks ago. He said, man, they would have cheered
me for what I'm doing right now, taking three. So
the game has changed. Steph Curry did one thing. He
(09:17):
changed the game and the way almost no other player
has done making the three pointer. And I talked to
his dad and I asked his dad. I said, your
son has destroyed the game the way I loved it.
He said, yeah, there are a lot of three point takers,
but there are a lot of three point makers.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, there are guys who shoot threes. There are guys
who make threes. There's a big difference in that everybody
thinks they can make a three.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Damn. When you go to any local gym or you
go outside, the first thing a guy does.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He couldn't.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
He couldn't hit it inside. The first thing he does
is lined up and try to take a three. So
people have been programmed now that the game has changed.
It is during the time I've played. When they played
the Rockets in nineteen eighty one in the championship series,
they were like in this championship game, I think that
what five threes attempted for the entire game. Now five
(10:10):
threes are attempted in the first two.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Minutes have fun in New York. Be prepared. They're waiting
for you.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I cannot wait, Dan. I thought I hated the Laker fans,
but man, they've gone down the pig right now. NIXT
suck so.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Saying, why don't you wear your old Celtics jersey to
the game.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Because I'm old school? Damn?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What do I need? You want to beat up a
seventy year old man?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
You were born in nineteen what fifty six?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I was born in nineteen fifty five. Come on, give
me a break.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Good to talk to you, all right, but take it.
Thank you corn Bread. That's Cedric Cornbrad Maxwell, he was
the Finals MVP nineteen eighty one, the Celtics radio analyst.
Those Nick fans are going to be crazy. They haven't
had anything to celebrate. They do now and it's against Boston. Yes,
(11:09):
Marvin So I did play the day and it was
the Maple Leaves. Are the Maple Leaves the NHL equivalent
of the New York Knicks. Wow, like great franchise, but
they haven't won anything in fifty plus years? Is it
longer than that for the Leafs? Because the Knicks one
in seventy three even and they went to the NBA
(11:31):
Finals against San Antonio.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Yes, bully, And like the past twenty years, the Maple Leafs,
they're stuck in round one. They're jones in for a
deep playffront.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I got the Leafs winning at all this year. I
gave you Florida last year. I'm feeling the Leafs this year.
And they're not the leaves. They're the Leafs. And I
like that too, and I love I love their their sweater,
their jerseys, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Last Maple Leafs stand because only Cup nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, so they're a little bit before the nixt But
I get I get where you're coming from. There, I do.
Let me see, how about I take a break here, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
If you ask a Nick fan, you could win this
NBA title, But you'll go, oh, for the next forty
we just sign up like the Leafs.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, like the Rangers. When the Rangers hadn't won and
then they end up winning in nineteen ninety four, and
how many years had it been since they had won
a Stanley Cup. They may not win another one for
a while. Would you sign up for a forty year drought? Well,
this generation will probably go yeah, sure, yeah, we'll take
(12:44):
this title. These these millennials, they're like, eh, yeah, this
is great. Man. We have We're long suffering Nick fans.
We've been suffering for like ten years.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The guys who are you know, the old grizzled guys
who go to the game, they'd take they'll take one
in their lifetime. All right, we'll take a break. We're

Speaker 2 (14:15):
More phone calls coming up. Actor Vince Vaughn will join
us next hour update the poll results as well. Sue
Byrd won four WNBA Championships. She was an All Star
thirteen times, one of the more decorated basketball players in history,
and also five time Olympic gold medalist. Just named USA
(14:36):
basketball women's national team managing director. That's a hell of
a title. There is that on your business card? And
what exactly does that mean? Sue?
Speaker 12 (14:45):
You need like a business in start at the point
or whatever. Managing director. It's basically what currant Hill did
for the men's team. So like a GM pick the coach,
pick the players, and then Menson gold medals.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
How do you deal with players lobbying you now, or
being your friend or sending you gifts or cards or flowers?
Speaker 12 (15:10):
If only are that easy?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
No?
Speaker 12 (15:12):
I mean, obviously, I've been in the women's game for
so long, so of course I have friends and relationships.
People I played with against are going to be in
this pool. But that's just where my experience, my perspective,
my understanding of what makes teams great and how to
build that and how people have to compliment each other.
(15:33):
That's where that just comes into play. And that's what's
going to be guiding me. It's not going to be
flowers or gifts.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Would you put Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team right now? No? No,
last this paths to live.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
I knew you're gonna ask this question. Honestly, I have
to just say that I respected the committee's job. I
understood what was that at play. I understood the pros
and the cons. I guess if you want laid out
that way, And I think at the end of the day,
it's hard to criticize a gold medal. A lot of
people see the final game against France. They see, you know,
(16:09):
only winning by a couple of points, and they view
that as some sort of like indicator. But the reality
is we've been having close games at the Olympics three years.
I can I can attest to that. So that wasn't
really that new. Winning a close game like that. That
wasn't new. That didn't have anything do with the roster.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, I think it was best for both. And I
said that at the time. I didn't. I thought she
had played a lot of basketball. I think she was tired,
she needed a break. I didn't think she earned it,
and there were other players who probably were in front
of her who didn't make it as well. I'm gonna
guess she'll probably be on the next Olympic team. Just guessing.
Speaker 12 (16:43):
I mean, you know, tvd that three years.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How's your how's your jumper?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Uh?
Speaker 12 (16:48):
It's I still got it now. The moving like side
to side, that's a little tougher, but the jumper is
still there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Do you ever show up at a park and just
start shooting.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
No.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
I have a friend who coaches at a nearby college.
I'll just grab the keys from her. But sometimes I
walk by parks and I, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I sess, what do you think about your Nicks stealing
two games in Boston?
Speaker 12 (17:13):
Oh gosh, I couldn't be happier. I mean, I think
the Detroit series just set them up for this. They
like it gave them something, a mental toughness that I
don't You're not really seeing in a lot of other
teams right now.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Would you give up one of your gold medals if
it meant the Knicks we're going to play in the
NBA Finals, No guarantee they would win. Would you give
up a gold medal?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And I love the name you got five of them.
Come on, if it meant the no, no, no.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
And I feel bad saying that I've been waiting for
this type of run we all have for a really
long time.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (17:52):
I remember my eighth grade graduation. I was like, if
there were smartphones then I would have been at my
eighth grade graduation watching the finals games.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You ever worn a gold medal socially?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
No?
Speaker 12 (18:04):
Okay, imagine they'd be like clanging around if you too loud.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I would do it. I wouldn't wear out. I mean
imagine Michael Phelps he went out and had what's he got?
Like twenty It hurt his back if he had all
twenty eight medals. A couple of things. Now, you have
a new podcast, Bird's Eye View, that launches May sixteenth,
and also you do a touch more the podcast every
Thursday with Megan Rappino. Where is the game going if
(18:32):
you look at another country that's developing talent on the
women's side, because we look at France Africa. For the
men's side, Australia has put out some good players. But
if you were looking handicapping five years down the road,
the country to keep an eye on is who.
Speaker 12 (18:51):
I think right now it's France. It's always been Australia,
So that just it feels like that's just like, yes,
there's some highs and lows and plateaus, but they just
they just keep it coming. And then yeah, the African
Nations Nigeria has done a tremendous job in the last
couple of Olympics. Some of that is that there's actually
Americans that play on those teams, play on the Nigerian team,
(19:13):
play on the French team. Some of it's that those
players are now coming to the WNBA more as that
money increases. I expect that to increase like tenfold and
that's going to really change things up.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I guess compare and contrianced the coverage when you were
a rookie in the WNBA to what that coverage is
like now.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
You know.
Speaker 12 (19:32):
Interestingly, when I first got to the WNBA, it was
still it had a little bit of that high still,
like there was a residual high from when the league
first started the excitement, and it really didn't start to
kind of plateau and dip until a year or two later.
So my rookie year, with a couple of exceptions, there
was excitement. There was there was coverage. There was you know,
(19:55):
I'd get invite to invite it to different shows or
you know, maybe something like the SP's and a different way,
and then it started to take a little bit of
a dip and then it started to plateau. But no,
it was never My rookie year was never anything like
what we're seeing now.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
What would be your yukon Women's Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 12 (20:16):
It's pretty easy, actually, Diana, Brianna Stewart, Maya Moore and
we'll go Rebecca Lobo.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You could say you if you wanted to, I know,
but yeah, well Lobo started it right yep.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Yeah, So anyone gets a statue.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh statue?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay, Does Gino get a statue at Yukon?
Speaker 12 (20:39):
Rebecca gets one first?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Really?
Speaker 12 (20:42):
Yeah, you know there's only one statue on campus. It's
of Jonathan the Husky Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So okay, it's only right. Does Hurley get a statue
or Gino?
Speaker 12 (20:53):
Okay, I'll give it to him.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Okay. What's your favorite Orienta story though that you tell?
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Oh my god, what kind of program is this?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You can tell me? He used to say to me.
He goes, I have to talk to my wife. You know,
it's that time of the month, and I'm dealing with
these women and I'm just, like he was saying, dealing
with you guys at practice sometimes And I go, okay,
I never thought of that, you know.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
But but yeah, well you know what they say, like
when when women are around each other a lot, they
start to like sync up in that way.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
He was in on that.
Speaker 13 (21:26):
He was in on that.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
We call a lot of that attitude.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Also, when did you get to the point where you
could make fun of him?
Speaker 12 (21:32):
Yeah, when you know you can do it. He likes
it when you're a player, like he wants you to
react in this. So he's okay with a little. He's
okay with it. I think my favorite story is and
I actually just tried to told this one recently. I
got his permission.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
So we're good.
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Okay, We're playing Tennessee, obviously huge rivalry. We don't play
well in the first half. We look scared, nervous all
the things. He comes in at halftime and he holds
up his fingers like like an okay sign, but super tight,
you know, just curls that finger tight, and he says,
do you know what this is? This is all your
(22:09):
butthole right now, and you know that kind of explains it.
The message came across loud clear.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Uh, congrats on the new title, congrats on the podcast,
and uh it's great to see you, thank you again,
thank you thanks for having me. That's a super burn. Okay,
but she got permisition from Gino Horima. Oh I knew
where we were going. I remember we had him on
one day and I said, you know, he started telling
(22:42):
me about dealing with uh, you know, his his players.
He goes, you know, I talked to my wife like
certain times of the month, I'm dealing with them, and
I am like, why is this guy, this one, this
one one's crying. This one's, you know, in a good mood,
but he brought it up. Yeh. What a career she's had. Gosh,
be hard pressed. I mean that's five Olympic gold medals,
(23:04):
four time WNBA champ, two time national champ at Connecticut.
That's quite a resume there. Now the USA basketball women's
national team managing director and her new podcast, Bird's Eye View,

to Danpatrick dot com Seaton which update the poll results
and we'll get to more phone calls here. Yeah, we
got up there right now. Now.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
If you were betting Knicks in seven or Celtics and
six right now, that has swung to nix and seven by.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Fifty two and keeps going back and forth. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I like this a lot. Go to year ago Tim
and Jersey Hi Tim.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Eight in five, six three or no, by the way, Marmon,
well that's what shirt I'm calling today. Do you think
the Knicks are just I mean, like the Celtics are
just being out coach knowing that Tibbs was a former
part of that team, and you know, and also with
the substitutions and the fowls with Robinson, and also do
(24:40):
we know what's going on with Chrystal porthingis too.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
He's been banged up. I'm surprised when he's healthy. I
think he just has that career where he shows signs,
but he's never consistent enough. And I don't know if
it's being out coached. I mean Timms has his style.
It's a style that can frustrate you, be physical with you.
The Celtics are a finesse team and the Knicks are not.
(25:07):
And the Knicks went out and got players that fit
the blueprint in Tim's mind to beat Boston and they're
doing that. Let's see if it's sustainable here, But getting
out coached, I think with Boston, you tell them keep shooting.
That's I'm not going to change up whatever my game
(25:30):
plan is going to be. I have to trust these guys,
and these guys are great shooters. Round Tatum, Derek White.
I mean, now you got this. The series comes down
to Saturday Night, because if the Knicks wins Saturday, I
don't think that they're going to lose four in a
row here. But doubt starts to creep in. And that's
(25:54):
the tricky part of all of this. When the doubt
starts to creep in when you take a shot and
we've all all been on these runs where you go
it doesn't matter, it's going in two and then you
really and then you miss or one goes in and out.
That's when dalt creeps in and the Knicks are going
to go back with a ton of confidence. It's not
(26:14):
like they've shot great, but they've maintained their identity and
the Celtics are trying to maintain an identity and they
can't because they can't make threes.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah, Pauling christops Porzingis. He had a viral illness back
in March and February missed about two weeks and this
they say is related to that. Not a lot of
details out, but the Boston Herald said he just can't
get it going. It's his insides are having issues, he said.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Rick and Florida. Hi, Rick, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (26:44):
Bro?
Speaker 13 (26:44):
I remember watching Nick's at Cincinnati Garden's body none the
best the best. So anyway, I got a couple of points. First,
when I see a team after an eight month grind
ice cold, even making up ice cold in the second
halves of tough playoff games, it's your legs. It looks
(27:06):
like to me the Celtics' legs are gone, and number
two Danny the end of the games, when they finally
in the half court trying to get an iceo and
to the basket, that high pick and roll the Knicks
get on, you Knowobi and Robinson waiting for them. They
kick it in the lane when it comes time to
get that good easy shot at the end of the game. So,
(27:27):
in that regard, I do think tibodoes out coaching him.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, I don't think it's the legs, because the Knicks
have probably had to work harder to get to where
they are than the Celtics have had and the Celtics
were blowing people out during the year, probably got a
lot of rest. You know, the Knicks just grind it
out and you know TIBs famously plays his you know,
starters a lot more minutes than anybody else. They should
(27:53):
be the ones tired. Uh guy in Denver? Hi guy,
what's on your mind today? Hello?
Speaker 14 (28:00):
Daniel Patrick Junior the third thank you for having me
on today. Yeah, that's a quick question for him. So
I'm taking my two sons. They are on a ones
graduating high school, ones graduating college. Both played high school
and college baseball. The next one is going on to
play college baseball. So we're taking them to PNC Park,
Fenway and City Field or Huge Mets vans.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Never been out there?
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Quick?
Speaker 14 (28:24):
Where spots must we go to for our days in
Boston and New York for eating?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Wise, I can't give you Boston because I don't I
don't spend much time in Boston. I did before in
the eighties and nineties, but I don't now New York.
You guys got a I would say Keenes Steakhouse k
e e E k e e n s Keen Steakhouse
(28:51):
that's in Midtown. That's great if you get a chance
and you want to take the Staten Island Ferry later
in the afternoon and you want to see, you know,
a different view of New York City. Cost you a
couple of bucks. You go over to Staten Island, stay
on the ferry, and then come back and you get
a great view of downtown New York City going down
(29:13):
to Wall Street. Just walk around there. Always great.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yes, eaton Well was that place that you took us
two once? It was probably the best cheeseburger I've ever
had in my life. And it was down by like
Battery Park that h Staten Island Ferry Way, So like
two rabbits or something like that, or a dead rabbit.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yes, yes, yes, is that it dead rabbit?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
It's something like that. It's the It's probably the best
cheeseburger I've ever had in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's fantastic. Yeah, Paully the Dead Rabbit on Water Street. Okay,
that's got a lot of ambiance there. That place is awesome.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, But that's a Wall Street bar pub Mcsorley's Pub.
That's believe the oldest bar in the country. Where they
serve you picture or glasses, mugs of beer and you
get crackers, cheese and onions. It's a beer.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Hal.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah. They used to have just a bathroom, one bathroom,
and I think they've added one for the women. My
wife used to go there when she was in college.
She'd sit there and have a beer and study, and
she said, you know, there was only one bathroom and
it was really meant for the guys in there. But
I think they've evolved a little bit there. At mcsorley's Pub, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
There is a place called Lombardi's Pizza. I used to
live on the fourth floor for a couple of years
back in the day, and it's one of the oldest
pizza places in New York. It's in the No Lead
in Little Italy area, but a cool old school in
New York experience.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, there's a lot of Central Park wonderful just walking
into Central Park, go to the carousel, if you want
to go to the boat House, wonderful as well, so
many different things. West Side Highway done a beautiful job
over there, if you go down to the Freedom Tower, yes, Marvin, Yeah,
all the piers over there right over yeah, yeah, Yeah,
(30:59):
they did a great job over there. Got dog parks there, basketball, hoop.
They got tennis and it's just a great place. You
want to sit sit on a park bench there, but
go down to the Freedom Towers. That's really wonderful, very
powerful there. So good luck with that guy, and congrats
on your son's Tim and Detroit. Hi, Tim, what's on
(31:20):
your mind today? Hey?
Speaker 13 (31:21):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
How are you doing great?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Am?
Speaker 14 (31:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Five seven and one nine. I'm a four time shut
in member calling in and I'm reporting from the field.
Yesterday I had a full hip replacement okay, And as
you're collecting data on surgery versus procedure, I wanted to
tell I wanted to tell you guys what they referred
to it as. Okay, So I got my call and
(31:46):
I said the the procedure was going to be at
four forty five AM. Okay, So I thought you might
find that interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
A procedure for hip replacement surgery. It's called hip replacement surgery.
If they refer to the procedure, well, well I'm gonna
have to throw the BS flag there, And Tim, good
luck with that. They've they've got hip replacement surgery down
they do. My shoulder surgery still hasn't been great from
(32:15):
the first time I had torn laboram knee replacement pretty good.
But I haven't had to do the hip, but those
who have had it tell me they've done a pretty
good job. You can't have hip replacement surgery and call
it a procedure.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Yes, And if this, if the surgeon does it, is
it a surgery?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Do they have somebody who's known as a procedurist instead
of a surgeon.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Like the really low end doctors are procedure guys.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, we're not gonna have a surgeon to do this.
We're gonna have a guy who does procedures. Attack. I
think he doesn't even scrub up, you know, he doesn't paralegal.
I think surgeons do surgery. Yes, hip replacement surgery can't
be a procedure.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
I think a surgeon would take his insult saying, oh
I did a couple procedures today.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
All I know is when I have surgery, somebody cuts
on me, it's surgery. So if it's hand surgery, eye surgery,
my shoulder, my other shoulder, my knee, my knee again,
my knee again, my knee again, replacement knee, that surgery.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, So I put into the interwebs. Do surgeons do procedures,
and I got back. Yes, surgeons perform surgical procedures. A
surgical procedure, oh man, that.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Means all procedures are surgery.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Okay, okay, surgical procedure okay.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I would prefer just surgery sounds more impressive. Like if
I come home and I go I gotta have a procedure,
my wife will be like, what now? If I say
you gotta have surgery on what? Get my knee clean down? Yeah?
A procedure, yes, John, If you're.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Having a procedure, you've still got to throw the garbage
and do the chores and everything. If you got surgery
coming up here, lay down, I'll bring you something, you
watch TV, whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
If you're a doctor, if you're a surgeon, you're talking
to women. You don't say I was in procedure all day.
I was in surgery all day. That's the move.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
You're right, They're right, all right. Let me take a break.
When we come back, we're going to play in or out.
You're either in on something or you're out, and more
of your phone calls as well.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Back after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show. Weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
More phone calls coming up actor Vince Vaughan in about
a half hour from now. It's time time to play
in or out. You're either in or you're out. Paulie
has the topics. So Paulie, here we go.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
Dan starting with you, the next will take out the Celtics.
I'm in, Marvin, I'm in, Fritzy, I'm in too, see out.
The Warriors will win this series completely without Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Wad he doesn't play again?
Speaker 7 (35:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Out?
Speaker 7 (35:19):
But will they win it?
Speaker 11 (35:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
You just said I don't have Steph Curry. Marvin. Yeah,
I'm out out and I mean I mean you think
Golden State wins without Steph Curry playing again? Yeah? Okay.
Part of the face ball of the balls.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
The Utah Mammoth is a very cool team name slash mascot.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm in you raise your voice. I'd like to see everything.
You know, what's it going to look like? The colors
and everything I haven't I haven't seen. I just heard
the name Marvin, I saw the colors and I'm in.
All right, Seaton and God out.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Okay, this is one. Being a hockey goalie is tougher
than being a baseball catcher. A little thought provoking.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I'm in with that, Marvin in seatan, I am out,
DoD I'm in.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
I think I'm out.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
I think baseball. M it's splitting hairs. I think it's
I think it's baseball.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I think you have to do a lot more in
baseball as a catcher than you do in hockey as a.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Keeper. That's true.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
Now catchers are not on ice and don't wear skates.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, a little easier, yes, And they're actually shooting something
trying to hit take your head off, whereas in baseball
your job is to catch it. Uh, it's not aimed
to take your head off. In hockey, the guy shooting
is trying to take your head off.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
And catchers get to hit. They don't just say that
entire game. What if one shift a game, every goaltender
and hockey had a.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Had to play, had to play a ship.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
Kind of cool. If I won the powerball lottery, I
would take the lump sum payment over the yearly payments
that are stretched over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'm in lump sum, yeah, got it. Got to take
the lump sum, yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
Yes, is their math behind it? Is there finances behind it?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Well, there's also the longevity of my life. I can't
pencil in twenty years. Right, But even if you take the.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Like the the money that you would make an interest
now would be greater than the amount of money you
would be paid later in the future.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah. Now, my age is a big part of it though, too.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
You're out.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
My family might say, hey, once should take one for
the team, right, I'd say I've taken one for the
team for the last thirty eight years.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
You should tell them you already won a lot of Yes,
you are lucky, Okay, last one. Aaron Rodgers has not
signed yet with the Steelers, mostly because he does not
want to go to OTAs.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I'm in. By the way, I stopped trying to understand
Aaron Rodgers. But for the sake of the game, I'm
in that he doesn't want to don't want to go.
He's got other things to do. Yes, tud I'm out.
Speaker 8 (38:19):
I don't think that's the main reason. I think he's
weighing his options to the last possible minute before he commits.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
To pitt seton what about you?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
I could convince myself to be in on that.
Speaker 13 (38:31):
Yeah, man, because if.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
He's not under contract and that Steelers have O t AS,
there'll be less criticism of him not being there.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Well, no, there's gonna be criticism if he does show
up after OTAs, because then you're gonna have the writers analysts.
You're going to say you're going to a new team.
You should have gotten here earlier. Remember when he went
on his safari after being hurt the previous season, and
then he got in there late. You got to get there.
You gotta be part, you gotta be part of the team.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
Yes, yes, I saw some polls and we've had some
people on that Pittsburgh Steeler fans really don't care for
Aaron Rodgers or want him as their quarterback. That's gonna
be very interesting how their tone will be if they
sign him.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Well, okay, the question I was asked I would ask
is do you want Mason Rudolph or do you want
Aaron Rodgers? Because that's all that matters. You may not
like him. Now, if you said I could get Kirk Cousins,
I might want Kirk Cousins because I can get him
for a few years and he's four years younger. Maybe
(39:33):
he'll be less money but I'm just not sure. With
Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins would come in and he'd be like, Hey,
I'm ready to go right now. I'll be at every
meeting whatever you want. I'll be at fundraisers, I'll be
wherever you want me to be. I'll be any other
in or out. We are out that out, we're out
of in a round, I'm in on that, okay. Wow,
(39:56):
T TJ and Iowa, I TJ.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
That was funny.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Hey TJ, good morning, Good morning to him the first time,
long time, six five and a half, two and twenty pounds.
I was enjoying the show as I do almost every day,
but had a late start with it today for the
very best reason. Fritzie probably relates to that. But I
(40:24):
was hearing about somebody's birthday today or the birthday song.
And so my wife, after a fantastic morning, is in
the other room fixing her hair and listening to the show,
and she looks up her birthday song. She's born in
mid sixties, and she comes back out and said, Wow,
it was the Trogs in the Wild. Thing went well,
(40:48):
we laughed a little bit. That seemed appropriate, and it
looked mine up. Yeah, she looks up. My was I
was born about the same time as you, behind late
late fifties, so I'm thinking, well, maybe an Elvis song
or something. But unfortunately they had me at Christmas Diamond.
So she came out and started laughing at me. I said,
(41:08):
what is it? Is it? She just said, it's the
Chipmunk song.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Okay, Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sounds like TJ was doing
the wild Thing this morning. I think I think that's
what he was alluding to. Oh yeah, good morning, Yeah
he did. And then his wife was fixing her hair
and her birthday song was wild Thing, which seemed only appropriate.
That's what happens when body starts e laughing. All right,
(41:35):
Thank you, Tod. Two hours in the books. On this Thursday,
more phone calls coming up. Actor Vince Vaughan back on
the show. He'll join us, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paulie and
Yours Truly
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Thursday, Dan in the Dan
Nuts Dan Patrick Show check in with the Celtics after
they lost again. Nicks come back from twenty down. They're
up two to zero in the series. Game three will
be Saturday afternoon in New York City. Thunder roll the
Nuggets one forty nine to one oh six. That series
tied at a game apiece and the Warriors are ten
(00:26):
and a half point underdogs at Minnesota coming up in
game two. The injury to Steph Curry, the initial report
was he would be out for a game. I text
the Dan Nets and I said, he's out for the
next couple of games. He's not coming back until at
least game five. They have upgraded that as far as
the report, he's been downgraded even further. But he probably
(00:48):
is not coming back for at least a week, and
that would mean he'll probably be back for Game five.
Best case scenario. And if you're Golden State, if you
can somehow steal this game and go back home, you
know Minnesota is going to show up at some point
and maybe the series is even at two apiece. Best
case scenario and you get Steph back for Game five.
(01:09):
One thing to focus on tonight if you watch the game.
I know we normally don't focus on this is Golden
State's defense. Since they got Jimmy Butler, you got Draymond Green.
They are a great defensive team and you saw that
against Minnesota. They frustrated them. They didn't even get ninety points.
But that would be something to keep an eye on.
If Golden State is going to steal this one, they'll
(01:30):
steal it by playing great defense again. Eight seven to
seven three DP show operator Tyler, the birthday boy sitting by.
He'll take your calls. We'll check in with Cedric Maxwell,
the former Celtic great and Celtic analyst. He'll join us momentarily.
The actor Vince Vaughn we'll join us coming up a
little bit later on as well. Pole question Seaton for
(01:50):
hour two is going to be what, by the way,
we sail OAF you're watching on Peacock. That's our streaming partner,
and we say good morning to our radio affiliates around
the country. Yes, yeah, we got up there right now.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
If you were betting Knicks in seven or Celtics in
six right now, that just tied.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
At fifty to fifty. Boy, fifty to fifty, let's bring
in Cornbread Maxwell, Celtics radio analyst and former MVP in
the nineteen eighty one NBA Finals. All right, Cedric, how
do you explain that Celtics are down two to OHO
and heading to New York on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Didn't shoot the ball? Will It was very simple, and
didn't execute early in the basketball game. The first two
games they shot the ball, well, they executed, and then
they got executed in those second halfs. They didn't play
with any ferocity, they didn't play any defense, and the
Knicks just the Knicks deserved the win. And then then
(02:47):
I thought I had I thought people were noxious in LA.
When I thought about the Laker fans, they got nothing.
On the Nick fans, they got nothing. I have gone
to another hYP of h Now, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
God, oh boy, wait till Saturday night, Wait till.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Wait till they lose Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's now a lot of analysts. You got a lot
of experts saying the Celtics need to change. You're not
making threes, go inside, get to the free throw line.
Can they change? And do you buy into that offensive
philosophy when you're not shooting well from three point range
to change it up.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, Dan, you know I was. I was old schooled.
So we played in the paint with Berr McHale Parish,
those guys, we played in the paint. But I'll put
it this way. When you went to the prom and
you with your pretty girlfriend, did you change and see
another girl and he went home with the other one. No,
you stayed the course and you did what you normally do.
You stayed with And Joe Miszoula believes that his team
(03:53):
is going to shoot better. They can't shoot as poorly
as they have in the lad in these two halves
and lose it basketball game again.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Is Jason Tatum in your mind a top five player? Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yes, yes, and uh then I asked you one of
these questions. We'll talk about one of the greatest power
for ards of all time, Kevin McHale. The all main
points he averaged in the championship game against championship series
against the Houston Rockets in nineteen eighty one. Can you
take a guess.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Ten points four four points.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
So what I'm saying by that is the others have
to do better. You got to get if Tatum isn't
shooting the ball well, Brown has to step up. The
year that Larry Bird had in nineteen eighty one, he
averaged thirteen points, fifteen points, but he averaged fifteen rebounds.
So other people have to do other things to step
up and make it easier for Tatum when he's not
(04:51):
shooting the ball.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So okay, let's run down the list here if he's
in the top five. So joker, okay, s g A, Yes,
do you put Luca top five? No? Uh huh no,
Anthony Edwards, I wouldn't put him before Tatum, Jannish.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Up and down.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think I think he had a better I think
Jason Tatum had a better year than Yannis. So I
mean there's no I mean you if you go then
there's no clear cut. So yeah, so you can't tell,
all right, you said, Jannis Tatum? Where else you going
with that?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I probably still put Luca there.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I wouldn't put Luca there. No, No, Luca doesn't. Luca
doesn't play enough defense. And this is why I have
to believe in the great Kendrick Perkins. He said, Luca
might be the best superstar non defensive player in the
history of basketball. He can score your points, but he
gives them up in bunches, So I can't go that way.
I love his greatness on the offensive end, but not
(05:58):
on the defensive end.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But you know what, pick and choose with that, because
did anybody ever go man Magic Johnson what a defender?
No one ever said anything about Magic's defense. Bird was
not a good defender, Barkley said, as long as Larry's
on the floor, there's always somebody who's worse on defense
than him.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Well, let me let me say this there, Dan, do
you know that Larry Bird made all defensive teams several times.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, but because he came up with steals, he played
the passing lanes, he couldn't guard. He wasn't guarding. You
come on, you probably towrdsed him in practice.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So we're talking. You're talking about guys who were great
on both ends of the floor. And this is what
I love about Tatum Tatum is Tatum has been a
hell of a defender and he's also been a great rebound.
What he didn't do in these last couple of games,
he didn't shoot the ball will and normally Jalen Brown
is able to pick him up or for zingis, but
(06:54):
whatever this is is going on with Porzingis hasn't really
really let it happen.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The Knicks haven't played great though. I think you know,
everybody keeps focusing on Boston hasn't played their game. The
Knicks haven't played great. I mean, to be down by
twenty points in two consecutive games. I think they just
they they have patients, and they're kind of like the
puncher who's gonna take three punches and give you one
in return.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
That that might be true. And I think the thing
is Josh Hard has played extremely well. He's been the
key to what he had twenty three points. You say
you're gonna get something from Carl Nanthney Towns, You're gonna
have to give up something from Brunson. But when you
have him scoring the way and then Bridges, who really
has disappeared. All the Knicks were complaining about, oh, we
gave these draft choices. He showed up last night and
(07:44):
scored the basketball. So in different ways, the Knicks have
played very effective basketball in the second half, but also
in the second halves of these games, the Celtants have collapsed.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
All right, what has to happen on Saturday night right
out of the gate right out.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
They gave be aggressive.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Uh take a ball. Are we shooting threes?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
You're still gonna shoot threes.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You're still gonna shoot.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You're still gonna shoot the threes, but you're gonna be
a little bit more aggressive about taking the ball to
the paint. One thing the Celtics did extremely well was
when you saw Drew Holliday take Brunton and the paint
and score on him repeatedly. That's one of the keys
that you have to do to occupy a great score.
What you have to do is attack him on his
defensive band.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You I think made one three pointer in your career, Yes,
I did you remember that one?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I do.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It was in Houston and in that game only four
three pointers were were taken in that particular game. So
so as you like to say, what's your point there,
what's your what's your point?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I love you? If Bird played, now, how many three
pointers is he allowed to take? Fourteen? Fifteen?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
And I talked to a guy who was like that
every time he lined up to take a three. Whin
he's with the Celtics. Early in his career, people saw
a boarding him. I talked to him about a couple
of weeks ago. He said, man, they would have cheered
me for what I'm doing right now, taking three. So
the game has changed. Steph Curry did one thing. He
(09:17):
changed the game and the way almost no other player
has done making the three pointer. And I talked to
his dad and I asked his dad. I said, your
son has destroyed the game the way I loved it.
He said, yeah, there are a lot of three point takers,
but there are a lot of three point makers.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, there are guys who shoot threes. There are guys
who make threes. There's a big difference in that everybody
thinks they can make a three.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Damn. When you go to any local gym or you
go outside, the first thing a guy does.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He couldn't.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
He couldn't hit it inside. The first thing he does
is lined up and try to take a three. So
people have been programmed now that the game has changed.
It is during the time I've played. When they played
the Rockets in nineteen eighty one in the championship series,
they were like in this championship game, I think that
what five threes attempted for the entire game. Now five
(10:10):
threes are attempted in the first two.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Minutes have fun in New York. Be prepared. They're waiting
for you.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I cannot wait, Dan. I thought I hated the Laker fans,
but man, they've gone down the pig right now. NIXT
suck so.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Saying, why don't you wear your old Celtics jersey to
the game.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Because I'm old school? Damn?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What do I need? You want to beat up a
seventy year old man?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
You were born in nineteen what fifty six?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I was born in nineteen fifty five. Come on, give
me a break.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Good to talk to you, all right, but take it.
Thank you corn Bread. That's Cedric Cornbrad Maxwell, he was
the Finals MVP nineteen eighty one, the Celtics radio analyst.
Those Nick fans are going to be crazy. They haven't
had anything to celebrate. They do now and it's against Boston. Yes,
(11:09):
Marvin So I did play the day and it was
the Maple Leaves. Are the Maple Leaves the NHL equivalent
of the New York Knicks. Wow, like great franchise, but
they haven't won anything in fifty plus years? Is it
longer than that for the Leafs? Because the Knicks one
in seventy three even and they went to the NBA
(11:31):
Finals against San Antonio.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Yes, bully, And like the past twenty years, the Maple Leafs,
they're stuck in round one. They're jones in for a
deep playffront.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I got the Leafs winning at all this year. I
gave you Florida last year. I'm feeling the Leafs this year.
And they're not the leaves. They're the Leafs. And I
like that too, and I love I love their their sweater,
their jerseys, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Last Maple Leafs stand because only Cup nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, so they're a little bit before the nixt But
I get I get where you're coming from. There, I do.
Let me see, how about I take a break here, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
If you ask a Nick fan, you could win this
NBA title, But you'll go, oh, for the next forty
we just sign up like the Leafs.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, like the Rangers. When the Rangers hadn't won and
then they end up winning in nineteen ninety four, and
how many years had it been since they had won
a Stanley Cup. They may not win another one for
a while. Would you sign up for a forty year drought? Well,
this generation will probably go yeah, sure, yeah, we'll take
(12:44):
this title. These these millennials, they're like, eh, yeah, this
is great. Man. We have We're long suffering Nick fans.
We've been suffering for like ten years.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The guys who are you know, the old grizzled guys
who go to the game, they'd take they'll take one
in their lifetime. All right, we'll take a break. We're

Speaker 2 (14:15):
More phone calls coming up. Actor Vince Vaughn will join
us next hour update the poll results as well. Sue
Byrd won four WNBA Championships. She was an All Star
thirteen times, one of the more decorated basketball players in history,
and also five time Olympic gold medalist. Just named USA
(14:36):
basketball women's national team managing director. That's a hell of
a title. There is that on your business card? And
what exactly does that mean? Sue?
Speaker 12 (14:45):
You need like a business in start at the point
or whatever. Managing director. It's basically what currant Hill did
for the men's team. So like a GM pick the coach,
pick the players, and then Menson gold medals.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
How do you deal with players lobbying you now, or
being your friend or sending you gifts or cards or flowers?
Speaker 12 (15:10):
If only are that easy?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
No?
Speaker 12 (15:12):
I mean, obviously, I've been in the women's game for
so long, so of course I have friends and relationships.
People I played with against are going to be in
this pool. But that's just where my experience, my perspective,
my understanding of what makes teams great and how to
build that and how people have to compliment each other.
(15:33):
That's where that just comes into play. And that's what's
going to be guiding me. It's not going to be
flowers or gifts.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Would you put Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team right now? No? No,
last this paths to live.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
I knew you're gonna ask this question. Honestly, I have
to just say that I respected the committee's job. I
understood what was that at play. I understood the pros
and the cons. I guess if you want laid out
that way, And I think at the end of the day,
it's hard to criticize a gold medal. A lot of
people see the final game against France. They see, you know,
(16:09):
only winning by a couple of points, and they view
that as some sort of like indicator. But the reality
is we've been having close games at the Olympics three years.
I can I can attest to that. So that wasn't
really that new. Winning a close game like that. That
wasn't new. That didn't have anything do with the roster.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, I think it was best for both. And I
said that at the time. I didn't. I thought she
had played a lot of basketball. I think she was tired,
she needed a break. I didn't think she earned it,
and there were other players who probably were in front
of her who didn't make it as well. I'm gonna
guess she'll probably be on the next Olympic team. Just guessing.
Speaker 12 (16:43):
I mean, you know, tvd that three years.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How's your how's your jumper?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Uh?
Speaker 12 (16:48):
It's I still got it now. The moving like side
to side, that's a little tougher, but the jumper is
still there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Do you ever show up at a park and just
start shooting.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
No.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
I have a friend who coaches at a nearby college.
I'll just grab the keys from her. But sometimes I
walk by parks and I, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I sess, what do you think about your Nicks stealing
two games in Boston?
Speaker 12 (17:13):
Oh gosh, I couldn't be happier. I mean, I think
the Detroit series just set them up for this. They
like it gave them something, a mental toughness that I
don't You're not really seeing in a lot of other
teams right now.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Would you give up one of your gold medals if
it meant the Knicks we're going to play in the
NBA Finals, No guarantee they would win. Would you give
up a gold medal?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And I love the name you got five of them.
Come on, if it meant the no, no, no.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
And I feel bad saying that I've been waiting for
this type of run we all have for a really
long time.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (17:52):
I remember my eighth grade graduation. I was like, if
there were smartphones then I would have been at my
eighth grade graduation watching the finals games.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You ever worn a gold medal socially?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
No?
Speaker 12 (18:04):
Okay, imagine they'd be like clanging around if you too loud.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I would do it. I wouldn't wear out. I mean
imagine Michael Phelps he went out and had what's he got?
Like twenty It hurt his back if he had all
twenty eight medals. A couple of things. Now, you have
a new podcast, Bird's Eye View, that launches May sixteenth,
and also you do a touch more the podcast every
Thursday with Megan Rappino. Where is the game going if
(18:32):
you look at another country that's developing talent on the
women's side, because we look at France Africa. For the
men's side, Australia has put out some good players. But
if you were looking handicapping five years down the road,
the country to keep an eye on is who.
Speaker 12 (18:51):
I think right now it's France. It's always been Australia,
So that just it feels like that's just like, yes,
there's some highs and lows and plateaus, but they just
they just keep it coming. And then yeah, the African
Nations Nigeria has done a tremendous job in the last
couple of Olympics. Some of that is that there's actually
Americans that play on those teams, play on the Nigerian team,
(19:13):
play on the French team. Some of it's that those
players are now coming to the WNBA more as that
money increases. I expect that to increase like tenfold and
that's going to really change things up.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I guess compare and contrianced the coverage when you were
a rookie in the WNBA to what that coverage is
like now.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
You know.
Speaker 12 (19:32):
Interestingly, when I first got to the WNBA, it was
still it had a little bit of that high still,
like there was a residual high from when the league
first started the excitement, and it really didn't start to
kind of plateau and dip until a year or two later.
So my rookie year, with a couple of exceptions, there
was excitement. There was there was coverage. There was you know,
(19:55):
I'd get invite to invite it to different shows or
you know, maybe something like the SP's and a different way,
and then it started to take a little bit of
a dip and then it started to plateau. But no,
it was never My rookie year was never anything like
what we're seeing now.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
What would be your yukon Women's Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 12 (20:16):
It's pretty easy, actually, Diana, Brianna Stewart, Maya Moore and
we'll go Rebecca Lobo.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You could say you if you wanted to, I know,
but yeah, well Lobo started it right yep.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Yeah, So anyone gets a statue.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh statue?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay, Does Gino get a statue at Yukon?
Speaker 12 (20:39):
Rebecca gets one first?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Really?
Speaker 12 (20:42):
Yeah, you know there's only one statue on campus. It's
of Jonathan the Husky Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So okay, it's only right. Does Hurley get a statue
or Gino?
Speaker 12 (20:53):
Okay, I'll give it to him.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Okay. What's your favorite Orienta story though that you tell?
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Oh my god, what kind of program is this?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You can tell me? He used to say to me.
He goes, I have to talk to my wife. You know,
it's that time of the month, and I'm dealing with
these women and I'm just, like he was saying, dealing
with you guys at practice sometimes And I go, okay,
I never thought of that, you know.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
But but yeah, well you know what they say, like
when when women are around each other a lot, they
start to like sync up in that way.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
He was in on that.
Speaker 13 (21:26):
He was in on that.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
We call a lot of that attitude.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Also, when did you get to the point where you
could make fun of him?
Speaker 12 (21:32):
Yeah, when you know you can do it. He likes
it when you're a player, like he wants you to
react in this. So he's okay with a little. He's
okay with it. I think my favorite story is and
I actually just tried to told this one recently. I
got his permission.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
So we're good.
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Okay, We're playing Tennessee, obviously huge rivalry. We don't play
well in the first half. We look scared, nervous all
the things. He comes in at halftime and he holds
up his fingers like like an okay sign, but super tight,
you know, just curls that finger tight, and he says,
do you know what this is? This is all your
(22:09):
butthole right now, and you know that kind of explains it.
The message came across loud clear.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Uh, congrats on the new title, congrats on the podcast,
and uh it's great to see you, thank you again,
thank you thanks for having me. That's a super burn. Okay,
but she got permisition from Gino Horima. Oh I knew
where we were going. I remember we had him on
one day and I said, you know, he started telling
(22:42):
me about dealing with uh, you know, his his players.
He goes, you know, I talked to my wife like
certain times of the month, I'm dealing with them, and
I am like, why is this guy, this one, this
one one's crying. This one's, you know, in a good mood,
but he brought it up. Yeh. What a career she's had. Gosh,
be hard pressed. I mean that's five Olympic gold medals,
(23:04):
four time WNBA champ, two time national champ at Connecticut.
That's quite a resume there. Now the USA basketball women's
national team managing director and her new podcast, Bird's Eye View,
launches Friday, May sixteenth, and she co hosts a touchboren
A the podcast every Thursday with Megan Rapino. A couple
(23:28):
of phone calls in here. That's fun. That's fun. Cedric
Maxwell was entertaining. If you miss any of the pod
or any of the interviews, you can go to Danpatrick
dot com and you can listen on the podcast Tailgate Moonshine.
We have some new Moonshine for you, but also something
really special that we've been working on for well ten
(23:49):
years to bring it back to life. You can go
to Danpatrick dot com Seaton which update the poll results
and we'll get to more phone calls here. Yeah, we
got up there right now. Now.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
If you were betting Knicks in seven or Celtics and
six right now, that has swung to nix and seven by.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Fifty two and keeps going back and forth. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I like this a lot. Go to year ago Tim
and Jersey Hi Tim.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Eight in five, six three or no, by the way, Marmon,
well that's what shirt I'm calling today. Do you think
the Knicks are just I mean, like the Celtics are
just being out coach knowing that Tibbs was a former
part of that team, and you know, and also with
the substitutions and the fowls with Robinson, and also do
(24:40):
we know what's going on with Chrystal porthingis too.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
He's been banged up. I'm surprised when he's healthy. I
think he just has that career where he shows signs,
but he's never consistent enough. And I don't know if
it's being out coached. I mean Timms has his style.
It's a style that can frustrate you, be physical with you.
The Celtics are a finesse team and the Knicks are not.
(25:07):
And the Knicks went out and got players that fit
the blueprint in Tim's mind to beat Boston and they're
doing that. Let's see if it's sustainable here, But getting
out coached, I think with Boston, you tell them keep shooting.
That's I'm not going to change up whatever my game
(25:30):
plan is going to be. I have to trust these guys,
and these guys are great shooters. Round Tatum, Derek White.
I mean, now you got this. The series comes down
to Saturday Night, because if the Knicks wins Saturday, I
don't think that they're going to lose four in a
row here. But doubt starts to creep in. And that's
(25:54):
the tricky part of all of this. When the doubt
starts to creep in when you take a shot and
we've all all been on these runs where you go
it doesn't matter, it's going in two and then you
really and then you miss or one goes in and out.
That's when dalt creeps in and the Knicks are going
to go back with a ton of confidence. It's not
(26:14):
like they've shot great, but they've maintained their identity and
the Celtics are trying to maintain an identity and they
can't because they can't make threes.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah, Pauling christops Porzingis. He had a viral illness back
in March and February missed about two weeks and this
they say is related to that. Not a lot of
details out, but the Boston Herald said he just can't
get it going. It's his insides are having issues, he said.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Rick and Florida. Hi, Rick, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (26:44):
Bro?
Speaker 13 (26:44):
I remember watching Nick's at Cincinnati Garden's body none the
best the best. So anyway, I got a couple of points. First,
when I see a team after an eight month grind
ice cold, even making up ice cold in the second
halves of tough playoff games, it's your legs. It looks
(27:06):
like to me the Celtics' legs are gone, and number
two Danny the end of the games, when they finally
in the half court trying to get an iceo and
to the basket, that high pick and roll the Knicks
get on, you Knowobi and Robinson waiting for them. They
kick it in the lane when it comes time to
get that good easy shot at the end of the game. So,
(27:27):
in that regard, I do think tibodoes out coaching him.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, I don't think it's the legs, because the Knicks
have probably had to work harder to get to where
they are than the Celtics have had and the Celtics
were blowing people out during the year, probably got a
lot of rest. You know, the Knicks just grind it
out and you know TIBs famously plays his you know,
starters a lot more minutes than anybody else. They should
(27:53):
be the ones tired. Uh guy in Denver? Hi guy,
what's on your mind today? Hello?
Speaker 14 (28:00):
Daniel Patrick Junior the third thank you for having me
on today. Yeah, that's a quick question for him. So
I'm taking my two sons. They are on a ones
graduating high school, ones graduating college. Both played high school
and college baseball. The next one is going on to
play college baseball. So we're taking them to PNC Park,
Fenway and City Field or Huge Mets vans.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Never been out there?
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Quick?
Speaker 14 (28:24):
Where spots must we go to for our days in
Boston and New York for eating?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Wise, I can't give you Boston because I don't I
don't spend much time in Boston. I did before in
the eighties and nineties, but I don't now New York.
You guys got a I would say Keenes Steakhouse k
e e E k e e n s Keen Steakhouse
(28:51):
that's in Midtown. That's great if you get a chance
and you want to take the Staten Island Ferry later
in the afternoon and you want to see, you know,
a different view of New York City. Cost you a
couple of bucks. You go over to Staten Island, stay
on the ferry, and then come back and you get
a great view of downtown New York City going down
(29:13):
to Wall Street. Just walk around there. Always great.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yes, eaton Well was that place that you took us
two once? It was probably the best cheeseburger I've ever
had in my life. And it was down by like
Battery Park that h Staten Island Ferry Way, So like
two rabbits or something like that, or a dead rabbit.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yes, yes, yes, is that it dead rabbit?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
It's something like that. It's the It's probably the best
cheeseburger I've ever had in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's fantastic. Yeah, Paully the Dead Rabbit on Water Street. Okay,
that's got a lot of ambiance there. That place is awesome.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, But that's a Wall Street bar pub Mcsorley's Pub.
That's believe the oldest bar in the country. Where they
serve you picture or glasses, mugs of beer and you
get crackers, cheese and onions. It's a beer.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Hal.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah. They used to have just a bathroom, one bathroom,
and I think they've added one for the women. My
wife used to go there when she was in college.
She'd sit there and have a beer and study, and
she said, you know, there was only one bathroom and
it was really meant for the guys in there. But
I think they've evolved a little bit there. At mcsorley's Pub, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
There is a place called Lombardi's Pizza. I used to
live on the fourth floor for a couple of years
back in the day, and it's one of the oldest
pizza places in New York. It's in the No Lead
in Little Italy area, but a cool old school in
New York experience.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, there's a lot of Central Park wonderful just walking
into Central Park, go to the carousel, if you want
to go to the boat House, wonderful as well, so
many different things. West Side Highway done a beautiful job
over there, if you go down to the Freedom Tower, yes, Marvin, Yeah,
all the piers over there right over yeah, yeah, Yeah,
(30:59):
they did a great job over there. Got dog parks there, basketball, hoop.
They got tennis and it's just a great place. You
want to sit sit on a park bench there, but
go down to the Freedom Towers. That's really wonderful, very
powerful there. So good luck with that guy, and congrats
on your son's Tim and Detroit. Hi, Tim, what's on
(31:20):
your mind today? Hey?
Speaker 13 (31:21):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
How are you doing great?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Am?
Speaker 14 (31:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Five seven and one nine. I'm a four time shut
in member calling in and I'm reporting from the field.
Yesterday I had a full hip replacement okay, And as
you're collecting data on surgery versus procedure, I wanted to
tell I wanted to tell you guys what they referred
to it as. Okay, So I got my call and
(31:46):
I said the the procedure was going to be at
four forty five AM. Okay, So I thought you might
find that interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
A procedure for hip replacement surgery. It's called hip replacement surgery.
If they refer to the procedure, well, well I'm gonna
have to throw the BS flag there, And Tim, good
luck with that. They've they've got hip replacement surgery down
they do. My shoulder surgery still hasn't been great from
(32:15):
the first time I had torn laboram knee replacement pretty good.
But I haven't had to do the hip, but those
who have had it tell me they've done a pretty
good job. You can't have hip replacement surgery and call
it a procedure.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Yes, And if this, if the surgeon does it, is
it a surgery?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Do they have somebody who's known as a procedurist instead
of a surgeon.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Like the really low end doctors are procedure guys.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, we're not gonna have a surgeon to do this.
We're gonna have a guy who does procedures. Attack. I
think he doesn't even scrub up, you know, he doesn't paralegal.
I think surgeons do surgery. Yes, hip replacement surgery can't
be a procedure.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
I think a surgeon would take his insult saying, oh
I did a couple procedures today.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
All I know is when I have surgery, somebody cuts
on me, it's surgery. So if it's hand surgery, eye surgery,
my shoulder, my other shoulder, my knee, my knee again,
my knee again, my knee again, replacement knee, that surgery.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, So I put into the interwebs. Do surgeons do procedures,
and I got back. Yes, surgeons perform surgical procedures. A
surgical procedure, oh man, that.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Means all procedures are surgery.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Okay, okay, surgical procedure okay.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I would prefer just surgery sounds more impressive. Like if
I come home and I go I gotta have a procedure,
my wife will be like, what now? If I say
you gotta have surgery on what? Get my knee clean down? Yeah?
A procedure, yes, John, If you're.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Having a procedure, you've still got to throw the garbage
and do the chores and everything. If you got surgery
coming up here, lay down, I'll bring you something, you
watch TV, whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
If you're a doctor, if you're a surgeon, you're talking
to women. You don't say I was in procedure all day.
I was in surgery all day. That's the move.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
You're right, They're right, all right. Let me take a break.
When we come back, we're going to play in or out.
You're either in on something or you're out, and more
of your phone calls as well.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Back after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show. Weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
More phone calls coming up actor Vince Vaughan in about
a half hour from now. It's time time to play
in or out. You're either in or you're out. Paulie
has the topics. So Paulie, here we go.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
Dan starting with you, the next will take out the Celtics.
I'm in, Marvin, I'm in, Fritzy, I'm in too, see out.
The Warriors will win this series completely without Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Wad he doesn't play again?
Speaker 7 (35:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Out?
Speaker 7 (35:19):
But will they win it?
Speaker 11 (35:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
You just said I don't have Steph Curry. Marvin. Yeah,
I'm out out and I mean I mean you think
Golden State wins without Steph Curry playing again? Yeah? Okay.
Part of the face ball of the balls.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
The Utah Mammoth is a very cool team name slash mascot.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm in you raise your voice. I'd like to see everything.
You know, what's it going to look like? The colors
and everything I haven't I haven't seen. I just heard
the name Marvin, I saw the colors and I'm in.
All right, Seaton and God out.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Okay, this is one. Being a hockey goalie is tougher
than being a baseball catcher. A little thought provoking.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I'm in with that, Marvin in seatan, I am out,
DoD I'm in.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
I think I'm out.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
I think baseball. M it's splitting hairs. I think it's
I think it's baseball.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I think you have to do a lot more in
baseball as a catcher than you do in hockey as a.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Keeper. That's true.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
Now catchers are not on ice and don't wear skates.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, a little easier, yes, And they're actually shooting something
trying to hit take your head off, whereas in baseball
your job is to catch it. Uh, it's not aimed
to take your head off. In hockey, the guy shooting
is trying to take your head off.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
And catchers get to hit. They don't just say that
entire game. What if one shift a game, every goaltender
and hockey had a.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Had to play, had to play a ship.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
Kind of cool. If I won the powerball lottery, I
would take the lump sum payment over the yearly payments
that are stretched over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'm in lump sum, yeah, got it. Got to take
the lump sum, yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
Yes, is their math behind it? Is there finances behind it?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Well, there's also the longevity of my life. I can't
pencil in twenty years. Right, But even if you take the.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Like the the money that you would make an interest
now would be greater than the amount of money you
would be paid later in the future.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah. Now, my age is a big part of it though, too.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
You're out.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
My family might say, hey, once should take one for
the team, right, I'd say I've taken one for the
team for the last thirty eight years.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
You should tell them you already won a lot of Yes,
you are lucky, Okay, last one. Aaron Rodgers has not
signed yet with the Steelers, mostly because he does not
want to go to OTAs.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I'm in. By the way, I stopped trying to understand
Aaron Rodgers. But for the sake of the game, I'm
in that he doesn't want to don't want to go.
He's got other things to do. Yes, tud I'm out.
Speaker 8 (38:19):
I don't think that's the main reason. I think he's
weighing his options to the last possible minute before he commits.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
To pitt seton what about you?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
I could convince myself to be in on that.
Speaker 13 (38:31):
Yeah, man, because if.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
He's not under contract and that Steelers have O t AS,
there'll be less criticism of him not being there.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Well, no, there's gonna be criticism if he does show
up after OTAs, because then you're gonna have the writers analysts.
You're going to say you're going to a new team.
You should have gotten here earlier. Remember when he went
on his safari after being hurt the previous season, and
then he got in there late. You got to get there.
You gotta be part, you gotta be part of the team.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
Yes, yes, I saw some polls and we've had some
people on that Pittsburgh Steeler fans really don't care for
Aaron Rodgers or want him as their quarterback. That's gonna
be very interesting how their tone will be if they
sign him.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Well, okay, the question I was asked I would ask
is do you want Mason Rudolph or do you want
Aaron Rodgers? Because that's all that matters. You may not
like him. Now, if you said I could get Kirk Cousins,
I might want Kirk Cousins because I can get him
for a few years and he's four years younger. Maybe
(39:33):
he'll be less money but I'm just not sure. With
Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins would come in and he'd be like, Hey,
I'm ready to go right now. I'll be at every
meeting whatever you want. I'll be at fundraisers, I'll be
wherever you want me to be. I'll be any other
in or out. We are out that out, we're out
of in a round, I'm in on that, okay. Wow,
(39:56):
T TJ and Iowa, I TJ.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
That was funny.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Hey TJ, good morning, Good morning to him the first time,
long time, six five and a half, two and twenty pounds.
I was enjoying the show as I do almost every day,
but had a late start with it today for the
very best reason. Fritzie probably relates to that. But I
(40:24):
was hearing about somebody's birthday today or the birthday song.
And so my wife, after a fantastic morning, is in
the other room fixing her hair and listening to the show,
and she looks up her birthday song. She's born in
mid sixties, and she comes back out and said, Wow,
it was the Trogs in the Wild. Thing went well,
(40:48):
we laughed a little bit. That seemed appropriate, and it
looked mine up. Yeah, she looks up. My was I
was born about the same time as you, behind late
late fifties, so I'm thinking, well, maybe an Elvis song
or something. But unfortunately they had me at Christmas Diamond.
So she came out and started laughing at me. I said,
(41:08):
what is it? Is it? She just said, it's the
Chipmunk song.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Okay, Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sounds like TJ was doing
the wild Thing this morning. I think I think that's
what he was alluding to. Oh yeah, good morning, Yeah
he did. And then his wife was fixing her hair
and her birthday song was wild Thing, which seemed only appropriate.
That's what happens when body starts e laughing. All right,
(41:35):
Thank you, Tod. Two hours in the books. On this Thursday,
more phone calls coming up. Actor Vince Vaughan back on
the show. He'll join us, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paulie and
