(00:28):
of Pittsburgh. We'll talk to Brandal Shambley, a golf channel.
He'll join us. Also, Chris Simms from Pro Football Talk
will join us. Aaron Rodgers shows up in camp and
he explained why he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't need it for my ego.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I don't need it to keep playing. A lot of
decisions that I've made over my career and life, from
strictly to ego, even if they turn out well, are
always unfulfilling, But the decisions made from the soul are
usually pretty fulfilling. This was a decision that was best
for my soul, and I felt like being here with
coach t and the guys they got here and the

(01:06):
opportunity here was the best for me, and I'm excited
to be here.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, got married in the off season and this is
the place to be. Didn't need to play, wants to
play for Mike Tomlin and it's good for his soul.
I'm not going to read too much into this. It's
just all right.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
He's here.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Now let's see if you can play, because that's all
that matters here. All the other stuff it filled a
lot of time on radio and TV. Now you just
want to see if you can play. It's like Shadoor Sanders,
the amount of time that was filled on radio and TV.
Now now it comes down to can you play? Doesn't

(01:42):
matter anything else that happened, doesn't matter, who your dad is,
where you were drafting, it doesn't matter. Now we want
to see if you can play. Aaron Rodgers, Okay, this
is the place for you. Can you still play? I
mean really, that's the point. I thought that they had
an agreement and that he was going to get around
to showing up when he needed to, and he did,

(02:03):
and he has a relationship. Great respect for Mike Tomlin. Now,
did I think the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to maybe
bend over backwards a little bit acquiesced Aaron Rodgers. Yes,
I thought they were doing that. I thought that was
beneath them. But as somebody who was how do I
say this, they're outside of the organization, I got to

(02:26):
be careful in what I say. And he was telling me,
he said, you know, you weren't fair to the Steelers
because if we already knew what was going on, then
you know there's an agreement there. And I said, no,
I understand that. It just felt like you were begging
Aaron Rodgers to play. And from what I was told,

(02:47):
there was no begging you. It was how do we
make this work? Do you want to make this work?
And Aaron, with the contract that he signed, that he
wanted to make it work, and he wanted to be
part of the Steeler and he wanted to play for
Mike tom So my apologies to the Steelers. If I
came off heavy handed in saying that you guys were

(03:08):
begging Aaron Rodgers to play football, I think they knew
what they were doing. I was also told they weren't
drafting a quarterback in the first round, whether that was
Rogers related or Rogers said, I don't want to be
mentoring another young quarterback like I did in Green Bay,
whether that's true or not. Also that Aaron Rodgers did

(03:28):
want to play for the Minnesota Vikings, that was his
first choice, and Aaron Rodgers wasn't necessarily the Steelers first choice.
So there's you know, there's a few things that are
still to be answered, if they're ever answered. But Aaron,
if you're happy you found a soulmate with a wife
and you found a soul mates with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Great.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now, I just want to see him play football. We
spend so much time talking about everything but actually playing
the game. It's everything with schudor Sanders. See getting first
team reps, you see what's his number going to be?
All of this? Can you play? And I do believe
he can play, and I do believe he will play.

(04:14):
But the other stuff, it's just filler. Yes, Mormon, all
this fourteen that's gonna win seven games next season? Well, okay,
I think the over under is eight and a half.
Todd Steeler's over under eight and a half.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Don't get the nine like they always will get extensive.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
It's always close to Todd's not going twelve.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yes, time, I want to know if if it's remotely
true that he wanted the Vikings or it took all
this time.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Wait, wait, we're doing the Aaron Rodgers Steelers game. Okay, Seaton, Seaton.
I think it's under under eight and a half, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (04:51):
Under, Paul over and make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Okay, I'm going to be optimistic here, unoptimistic.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Don't say ten.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
No, no, no, I'm gonna say nine. I'm gonna go
nine and a half. Toddy, that's go well, they won
ten last year. Can they win a playoff game? That's
all I care about. You make the playoffs great? Can
you win a playoff game? That'd be something really different? Yes, Marvin, but.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
The Jets won seven games before Aaron Rodgers got there,
so adding him doesn't necessarily make your team better automatically.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
No, not this Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, No, you're right, but that's why Vegas says I think
the Bengals over under can Can we check this just
to be sure. I don't want to dispense false information here,
but I think the Bengals they got them winning ten
games this year, maybe over under ten and a half.

(05:54):
Is that that seems crazy?

Speaker 7 (05:56):
Yeah, Pauline, I saw one at nine and a half
for the Bengals. I gotta check an updated one.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Okay, yeah, because somebody told me the over under was
ten and a half.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
I have two different places have nine and a half
of the banks.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Okay, yep. That sounds like, are they gonna have ten wins?
They're gonna have seven wins? Yes, Ton, you're paid.

Speaker 6 (06:14):
Your receivers, but you still did relatively nothing with the defense,
not to mention that you've pissed off Trey Hendrickson and
your first round pick. So how are they jumping to
all these wins?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Shamar's Stewart is the Bengals defensive end. He was drafted
I think seventeenth in the first round, weigh and signed
his contract yet and he's got some words for the Bengals.

Speaker 9 (06:34):
We all green tray will be right, right, but technically
still one'tent wrong for being on the contract. So and
in my case, Tom one hundred is that right, so
it should be a no brainer and trace case, I
think it should be a no brainer too. I mean,
he the seventeen and a half Sackson for two years
back to the back. If I was the DM or I

(06:57):
was the owner, take all my money. Thanks for nothing
I've never done before. But in y'all case, I just
want to winn to arguments that winny more games in
my opinion.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, okay, I hadn't played a game yet. And you know,
if Trey Hendrickson wants to say this, Okay, he's got
he's got a resume here. Shamar Stewart just a guy
with potential here with the Bengals. But he now, the
contracts are slotted, but the language is not slotted. The

(07:28):
Bengals are able to change language in there. I think
that's the hold up. You know what you're making depending
on where you're drafted. It's slotted. But I think the
language in the in the Bengals contracts, or at least
for Stewart, is maybe there's not as much guaranteed if
there's injuries and so it's language. It feels like, but okay,

(07:53):
you got Burrow, you got your receivers, you got a
chance here to do something and you could have everything
you could have Hendrickson, I don't know what the money's
going to be. Would I give him Michael Parsons money?
I would not, But let's say it's three years, one twenty.

(08:16):
But you know there are incentives that he has to
hit to get to the one twenty. Let's say you
got to get fifteen sacks after that, we're going to
give you whatever the amount of money is attached to
that incentivize. And then with Stewart, just get him into
camp if you drafted him in the first round. So

(08:36):
you think he's going to be a good player and
an impact player on a team that needs defense in
a division that has the Ravens. Yeah, point.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
I will take the Bengal side on this. Just to
play a counterpoint. It takes a really disciplined team to
not pay a guy for what he's done and realize
he probably won't do that again. Trey Hendrickson the past
five years factually has been the best pass rusher in football.

Speaker 10 (09:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I don't want to pay And we talked about this.
You stressed this a lot. Don't pay, you know, for
what somebody.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
Did, the old Albert Poohles argument.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I got to pay you for what I think
you'll do. And that's why the Cardinals moved on from
Albert Pooholes. They're like, we got the ten best years
of his career.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Right, and it feels like they said we're going to
shift our money to the offense, and we may have
to lose this guy or wait for a trade. I
don't know. It may be weirdly smart by the Bengals,
and in two years from now they could look smart
if they trade him, or it could be a disaster.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Okay that you know. Okay, that's to a different point.
If the Bengals are looking at Trey Hendrickson and saying
he's still a Pro Bowl caliber player, then you can
pay him if your first team All Pro? Is there
going to be that much of a dip here? Stewart
is a rookie, that first round pick. Okay, clean up

(09:53):
the language, get him into camp. Have positives here, But
at what point does Joe Burrow? So there's only so
much I can do. You know, I can't win games
thirty eight, thirty six like we can do it, but
I prefer not to. Yes, Tom, But that's.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Part of the problem with the Bengals. Why is there
a language that needs to be cleaned up? According to
Stuart and his agent. I guess there's standard things that
all the other teams are actually doing without making it
so black and white. But the Bengals are being cheap
Supposedly and being cute with the wording. So they're already
getting off to a bedfoot with their young rookie.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, yeah, well this is the Bengals. They have a
history being frugal. That's what they call him. Now if
there was a track record where you go, man, they're
really good at doing this with the players, and but
they're not.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
Yeah, it's ironic though. The drafting of Shamar Stewart, who
is an edge, who's a pass rusher, directly affects Hendrickson.
They can now afford to air quote move on from him.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
We'll get him in. If you're going to move on
from Trey Hendrickson, get they don't have either, guy, right,
David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 11 (11:03):
Hey?

Speaker 12 (11:04):
Dan?

Speaker 13 (11:05):
Aaron Rodgers got married in complete darkness, no lights, no guests,
just vowsl vibes nor does even say that At the
Recepts and Simon and Garfunkles, the sound of silence was played.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Thank you all right, David, thank you. I don't know
who she is. He had dated some famous women, Danica Patrick,
Shalne Woodley, the actress Olivia Munn. Oh yeah, yeah, so
I don't know who this is, but I'm happy, you know,
I love love and I'm happy for him, and he

(11:38):
found a soulmate and he's got soul teammates as well.

Speaker 14 (11:41):
Yes, he really has done a remarkable job of keeping
this quiet because there's even speculation on what this person's
name is where he kind of lets slip once in
an interview like Brittany or something like that, but nobody
really even knows. That's not easy for a guy like
him to keep things private.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
You would think given the microscope that he lives under
or has, how is it possible that you could go
through with this?

Speaker 10 (12:06):
Now?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
They probably eloped, Yeah, probably wasn't a ceremony, you know
where there's a reception and house band is you know
ed Sheeran or something.

Speaker 7 (12:14):
We were gott a call, we.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Would have we would have known about that. But hey,
he kept it under wraps. Got married. But all you
have to do is just say, hey, can somebody officiate this?
Come over to my house. My fiance is here, and
then all of a sudden, you're married.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You don't have to go down to city hall. That'd
be pretty cool. You can get down there. My daughter
is like, you know, I'm thinking about getting married at
city Hall. I go, hun, I know you you're not
going to get married at city Hall. You're going to
want a big wedding. No, I'm just thinking maybe, well downside,
I go, okay, you let me know. Whatever money that

(12:53):
I don't spend on the wedding, I'll give to you.
How's that?

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (12:57):
I say you should have gerven it down to city Hall.
I have to build down.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, I'm thinking about getting married at city Hall. It's okay.
We have friends her daughter, Their daughter got married at
city Hall and the mother.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Was wow.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It was a lot of tears that they got married
at city Hall, that they didn't have a wedding. You know,
you get these pictures where you're outside and they're random
people in New York and you're like, hey, there's our
wedding pictures. You know you got some guys selling hot
dogs on that side. Yes, exactly. Let's see what else

(13:37):
do we have here? Jeff in Hollywood, Hi, Jeff, what's
on your mind today? Good morning?

Speaker 10 (13:45):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (13:45):
Five eleven?

Speaker 5 (13:47):
All right?

Speaker 12 (13:49):
I called mostly just to get that ding. Hey, you
guys got the great greatest guests. Adam Silver and I
forget the sec commissioner's name. Greg Sankie and goes, yeah,
just fantastic. They answer questions they could never be in politics,
they actually answered. But the real reason I'm calling is

(14:11):
I think you got to forget about the Sports Emmys.
You got to set your sites higher. I'm a former
chair of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and I want
to lead the charge to get you on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame.

Speaker 7 (14:24):
Whoa buddy, I don't know what kind of can of
worms you just open, but this is a biggie.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well, Jeff, what's the process to get on the Hollywood
Walk of Thane.

Speaker 12 (14:34):
You gotta apply, You have to agree that if you're
nominated and approved, you'll show up. And you cannot buy
your way onto the Walk of Fame. But you do
have to pay for it, so and it's not cheap.

(14:56):
But this is Dan Patrick nation man. We can raise
that money, no problem. Can you champion my cause?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Jeff?

Speaker 12 (15:05):
I can. I can't. I can't tell you that it'll help.
My chairmanship of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce grows back
fifteen years. But I still have contacts there. I know
how the process works. I can help you put it
together and we can make this happen. The only difficulty
is going to be choosing which category. You got TV,

(15:31):
you got Radio, you got film, you got it all.
We should go for all three.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
We can go for all three. Okay, do I have
to pay separately for all three?

Speaker 15 (15:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (15:43):
That's that would be the downside. That would be the downside.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Let's do radio, Jeff, Let's do radio. Let's I don't
want to infringe on the TV world or the film world.
I'll let them keep their categories, but radio. Like, whenever
you step on my star, I'd like my used to
come out. If that's okay of the sidewalk. Is that
asking too much? Well, that that.

Speaker 12 (16:05):
Is not a current technology that we haven't a tailable However,
don't don't give up on that, because there are some
stuff that I'm involved in that may involve like holograms,
things you can call up on your phone. That'd be
a way to get the Danettes involved. I mean, you
could if we had a hologram. When you got to

(16:25):
your star and plugged in your star on your phone
up tops a hologram and you and the Danettes.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Maybe you could you could scan my star and then
all of a sudden I would say, Hi, I'm Dan
Patrick it.

Speaker 13 (16:39):
Would come on your phone.

Speaker 12 (16:41):
That is something that's being talked about.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
How much is it going to cost me, Jeff, seventy grand, Paulie.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
I have updated details that the item's working on it
right now. Oh, we have to double check these because
they've been updated since he last talked to them.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
So seventy grand. But I don't know where the star
is going to be, correct Jeff.

Speaker 12 (17:05):
Yeah, but you have some say in that. You will
have some say We could put you outside the McDonald's.
We could put you out, there's a lot of different place.
We could put you right by the Guinness whip Book
of World Records Museum. There's a lot of options for
it's a it's a big walk of fame. It covers

(17:27):
a lot of ground.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well, Jeff, thank you, and you know, keep me updated.
I appreciate that seventy grand. I could take a little
out of Fritzy salary, a lot of Marvin's salary, because
you guys collectively would want to be part of this, right.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
I bought stuff that's not even paid for yet.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Okay, Todd, I think.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's a very awesome honor that.

Speaker 11 (17:51):
We should pursue.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Would you donate?

Speaker 5 (17:54):
I think I would that is I'd have to crunch
the numbers a little bit.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
That is that is a no.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
I have to go with my talk to my tax
guy and to see how that all works out.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Much take a break, We'll head to the US open
more phone calls coming up back after this.

That's Covino and Rich. US Open Live on NBC, USA
Network and Peacock, the world's best golfers taking on one
of the toughest golf courses in the world, Oakmont Country Club.
The US Open starts Thursday on USA, NBC and Peacock.
Part of the broadcast team, Randal Shamblee Golf Channel leads

(19:37):
studio analyst joining us from Pittsburgh. The course just outside
of downtown Pittsburgh. I've been describing Oakmont. I played there,
I think in two thousand and seven, and they had
cleared out the trees and I just remember I wanted
that round to end. I wish that I wish that
the golf course was like thirteen holes. Oh, I got

(20:00):
to eighteen and I loved it, but I got roughed up.
It's not for the meek. There. What's your handicap and
what would you shoot on that course? Right now?

Speaker 17 (20:10):
I'm a plus three. If I played it from the tips,
I probably shoot eighty.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay, skoy Chef, I think is.

Speaker 17 (20:18):
A plus eleven or twelve. I think I saw recently
something like that. Yeah, yeah, I have no doubt if
I played from the tips.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
It's not that long.

Speaker 17 (20:29):
It's only like seven three hundred yards long, and most
of that is in two really long par threes in
a six hundred and fifty yard par five.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
It's not that long. It's just I liken it to.

Speaker 17 (20:42):
Augusta National with five inch rough. You know, the fairways
are slopey like Augusta National. The greens are diabolical like
Augusta National. But imagine playing Augusta National with five inch
rough and by the way, twenty five yard thirty yard
wide fairways. Augusta National as four wider fairways than that.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, you can blast it at Augusta, but here like it.
You have to put it in a fair way.

Speaker 17 (21:05):
You do, you know you go back and look at
the winners here, and I mean it, it is an
absolute stellar driver, stellar list of winners with only one exception.
We don't exactly have the data on Sam Parks in
nineteen thirty five.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Every other winner is a god.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
And you know one thing when you get to these
certainly US Open courses don't make double bogies like you're
going to make bogies, just don't compound it by going,
you know what, I think I could get out of
this rough exactly.

Speaker 17 (21:40):
You know, I think Dustin made one double and route
to winning there in twenty sixteen, on Hill didn't make any.
And again you go back and look, and I mean
every one of these guys from Dustin to on Hill
to Ernie El's to Larry Nelson's as far back as
we have Dad in nineteen eighty three, they were all
first in greens and regulation or you know second, I mean.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
They were right there. So it's very much a control
golf course.

Speaker 17 (22:04):
But obviously it helps from a control standpoint if you're
coming in with shorter irons, So it tests everything.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Are we to the point where it's Scotti Scheffler versus
the field? Have we graduated into the Tiger category?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (22:18):
And even at Tiger's best though he only won what
thirty forty percent of the time, so the odds were
always in favor of the field. But you wouldn't pick
any one, two, three, or four or five players collectively
to beat Scotty Scheffler.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Nor would you do it to beat Tiger Woods.

Speaker 17 (22:36):
You know, the guys that challenged Tiger Woods were usually
the sort of the middle of the road kind of
guys that weren't psychologically invested in it. I wouldn't pick
any other three or four or five players as a
group to beat Scotty Scheffler this week.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Okay, So if I gave you Deshambeau, Rory rom Schoffley,
and Colin Morrikowa, that's a great group. And I took Scheffler,
or you took Scheffler, I took those guys.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, let's do that for fun.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
You're taking Scotty and I got these gun Okay.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, let's do that for fun. I think that'd be
a fun bat. I think that's the only way you
would have a fifty to fifty.

Speaker 17 (23:12):
Chance to beat Scotty this week. Of course, he could
get hugely unlucky somewhere. He could end up under a
lip or a bank and make a seven or an eight.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
That's how crazy this course is.

Speaker 17 (23:22):
But it's unrealistic to think that those other players aren't
going to have a train wreck somewhere along the line.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Scotty is.

Speaker 17 (23:29):
I mean, this could be his two thousand US Open.
He could win by double digits. He really could.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I was watching the broadcast last night by the Way
Golf channel. Rich Lerner is the host. It is great.
You guys do a wonderful John.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Thank you. Rich is amazing.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
And what stood out was your comments about Rory McElroy
because the number of people who said to me after
he won at the Masters, oh boy, now the pressure's off.
Now you're going to see Rory go out there just
you know, take down people. But your commentary was I
texted Fritzy right away, I said, see if Brande will

(24:08):
join us, because you were pointing out something to the
contrary with Rory McElroy, and then you brought up Ben
Hogan as well. So enlighten our audience on what you
said last night.

Speaker 17 (24:21):
Yeah, I don't think that Rory has necessarily lost his form,
as he's lost his focus and there is some precedent
for that. You know Ben Hogan, Mind you, he was
forty when he did it, and Rory's in his mid thirties.
But Ben Hogan in nineteen fifty three had never played
the Open Championship, went over and played the Open.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Now he won it and completed.

Speaker 17 (24:38):
The career Grand Slam and had the best year in
the history of golf to that point in major championships,
and the idea was, that's it. He's going to go
on a torrant for the next you know, four or
five years. And he had won twenty five percent of
his golf tournaments at that point in his career, and
he would play fifty three times after that on the
PGA Tour and win just one other golf tournament and

(25:02):
that was six years later, nineteen fifty nine, he won
one time after completing the career Grand Slam. So, you know,
I think there's this huge sense of accomplishment. It's not
unique to golf. We see it in the arts and
other sports where somebody climbs that mountain and they realize,
you know, they lose their focus, they lose the sort
of creativity and the inspiration that it took to achieve

(25:25):
what they did, and they struggle to find it again.
And it's a very small sympathize as far as his
three or four tournaments for Rory, but I've never seen
him play this poorly. I've never seen him look this disorganized.
He's never had a tournament where he played as bad
as he did at the Canadian Open his last outing.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
And he said it Dan Dan in the media center.

Speaker 17 (25:43):
He says, Yeah, it's really hard for me to get
out and go hit three you know, hit balls for
three or four hours, and I'm not aiming at anything,
and I don't really have any long term goals anymore.
And I think I said, look, if you were a
coach and you had heard a quarterback talking like that,
you'd bench you.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
You can't play if you can't find the focus to
play at your best.

Speaker 17 (26:02):
This game is really hard to play at the high
level if you are focused. Nobody is talented enough without
the fire, you know, burning white hot in them to
compete at the highest level.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
But you can kind of see him, and you guys
discussed body language when he's meeting with the media. It
just feels different that you're almost exhaling, whereas Tiger was inhaling,
like he was like, yeah, I want to okay, what's next?
And you know, granted there's nobody like him. You know,
even David Duval he got to the mountain, He's like,

(26:36):
I think I want to come down off the mountain. Yeah,
but understanding and Rory does what I love about He's
one of my favorite interviewer interviews because he does listen
to what you're asking him, and he does he does
give you something that feels like it's not robotic there
but just watching the body language. Yeah, it just feels

(26:58):
like he's kind of there to to, you know, be
the grand master, you know, grand Marshal there, Harry here,
I am yeah, Hi hi hi hi. And that's about it.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
So true.

Speaker 17 (27:10):
I think he's the best interview in golf. I've asked
other writers, who's the best interview in golf?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Is?

Speaker 17 (27:14):
They all just unanimously on the men's side, say, say,
Rory McRoy, nothing sated Tiger Woods. I mean, he wanted
to name all the mountains and the rivers. I think
Rory has at a point in his life where he
wants to enjoy his life. You know, he wants to
drink some nice wine, he wants to take some trips
with his buddies. He's got his fingers in a lot

(27:35):
of pies in the business world. You know, I'm pretty
sure he's worth billions or on his way to being
worth billions, and he's taking a leadership role in a
lot of different ventures. So I think, you know, he's
just different. And I think that's one of the reasons
why he's such a great interview is because he is insightful,
he is bright, He thinks about a lot of different things,
and I think he's got a lot of different interests.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Can he find his way back to focus? Hope?

Speaker 17 (28:00):
So because I was joking, I mean, he was put
on this earth to play golf, like Leonardo da Vinci
was put on this earth to paint angels, and they
just don't come around like Frory very often.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
And I'm sure he's great.

Speaker 17 (28:11):
At all these other things, but that man was put
on this earth to play some golf.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
And then bryceon de Shamba all of a sudden, It's
like a body switching movie where all of a sudden,
he's somebody different. He brings the US Open Trophy out,
letting fans touch it. We saw the Masters where he
came out and embracing the crown. Is this calculated?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
There's a lot of people that think it is calculated.

Speaker 17 (28:38):
But as I used to say about Phil Mickelson, it
doesn't really matter whether it's calculated or not. All that
matters is that people are entertained and they get the
autograph and they get the exchange. Because sport is really
about entertainment, and he's great entertainment. You'd be hard pressed
to find anybody more entertaining in the game of golf
than Bryceon.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I don't know, I feel like it's sincere. I'm kind
of gullible that way.

Speaker 10 (29:01):
Dan.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
I look at him, I'm like, all right, I'm buying it.
He looks like a hell of a nice guy.

Speaker 17 (29:05):
To me.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
He sounds like a nice guy.

Speaker 17 (29:06):
Maybe he's a little awkward socially amongst his peers, but
right now, the most I'm not going to say, the
most devastating, Scotty Scheffler's iron plays the most definite devastating
weapon in the game. But when I watch Bryson hit driver,
it reminds me of Steph Curry hitting threes. It's just
you can't do what he's doing. Scotti Scheffler is the

(29:28):
best driver in the world as far.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
As we know.

Speaker 17 (29:32):
Because we can't we don't have the data on Bryson
On live events, but I test wise Bryson's the best
driver of the golf ball in the world, and that's
obviously hugely important this week.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
We love seeing birdies, we like the roarers, but we're
not going to see maybe as many birdies as people
would like.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
And there will be.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Criticisms that I didn't tune in to watch somebody play
like I do on Saturdays here. But your thoughts on
making this, you know over Par is going to win
this tournament.

Speaker 17 (30:07):
Well, I grew up and I always just felt like
the US Open was the most.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Intimidating test in golf.

Speaker 10 (30:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
The rough used to be the thickest that the players face.

Speaker 17 (30:16):
The green's the fastest and the firmast, and it was
supposed to be a place where players went to bitch.
And as you would see somebody win shooting four or five,
sometimes seven over par, it was it was a gauntlet.
And the US Open became a little bit more like
everybody gets a trophy and the rough's.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Not that day.

Speaker 17 (30:35):
And we got graduated rough and we're listening to the
players and if they complain.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
We do this or we do that.

Speaker 17 (30:41):
I feel like this one's getting back to what the
US Open it had its own identity for a long
period of time.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Draconian test and I feel like that's what this is.
So if you like.

Speaker 17 (30:50):
Birdies and all that and twenty under par, you probably
not gonna enjoy what you're going to see the next
four days, you know.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Talking to some of the players, talking to some of
the guys that have been.

Speaker 17 (30:58):
Out there a lot, I've heard people say that it
wouldn't it's not out of the realm of post the
possibility that double digits over Park could win this week.

Speaker 10 (31:09):
I don't.

Speaker 17 (31:10):
I don't think it's going to be that high, but
it could be over part because it's going to be
dry until a little bit Saturday could rain, but otherwise
it's going to be dry.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, don't put the ball above the hole on some
of those screens or hitting the rough. Oh my god.
You know, a few months back, Tiger kind of threw
it out there casually that he had a setback, that
he tore his achilles, Like, that's not a like, oh,
by the way, I had a little setback. You know,
sprained ankle is a little setback. Are we going to

(31:38):
see Tiger ever? Again?

Speaker 17 (31:41):
Every time I'm asked that question, I always say I hope.
So he was teasing me and teasing all of us
in that you know, the simulator, you know events, his
clubheads be was getting close to one hundred and eighty
miles an hour, his swing was long, he was pushing off.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
The right foot. I absolutely got giddy.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Watch.

Speaker 17 (32:00):
I thought he's coming back, if he could just get
around a gusta or get the right week where it's hot.
But the Achilles, you know, that's about a year setback
or something like that, and you know another year older.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
He's going to be fifty years of age.

Speaker 17 (32:11):
And so yeah, I could go out on a limb
and say I'll never win again, and I have say it.
You know, I would love him to prove me wrong.
I'd love if he won one more time, one more time.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
That'd be eighty three.

Speaker 17 (32:26):
And now people say he's tied with Sam's need. I disagree,
but nonetheless people say he's tied with Sam's need at
eighty two. I say Tiger's all alone at eighty two
and Sam seventy seven, but nonetheless he gets one more.
I think that'd be one of the coolest things ever
happened in golf.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, his son Charlie might win before Tiger wins.

Speaker 17 (32:47):
Charlie looked really good when in that tournament recently, big
tournament with a great field in it.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
He's got a heck of a swing too.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, he looks like dad.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
He does.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Hey, thanks, thanks for joining us as always, and we'll
be watching later on.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Always a pleasure, Dan, Thank you to Randall.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Shambley, former PGA Tour player. He's a plus three its
shoot an eighty. Once again, if you see the coverage
or you tune in and watch it, and you're going
to see, you're going to see a couple of holes
and you're going to go, what's that? And the rough that?
Once again, I joke that you could lose a small
child in there. You could never happened. No, I don't

(33:27):
think so. No, Maybe it like a dog, like have
you seen Skippy? Here's Skippy. All right, we'll take a break,
we'll come back. Paully has an update on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame the requirements I guess, and Dylan will
recap his night at the Mets game nine hot dogs,
nine beers, nine innings.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
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 WAPP.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Jeff from Hollywood had called up and he was saying
that he would spearhead the efforts to put me on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was a job that
he used to be a part of, or had a
big title there getting people a Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He said, it's seventy thousand dollars. Polly, do you have

(34:19):
an update on that. I do.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
I've got a number of ways to be nominated. You
could be nominated by anyone, Dan, but you have to
give your permission. They cannot put you on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame without your permission. So let's start there.
Do we have your permission? Yeah, that's quick. How many
stars are in the Hollywood Walk of Fame currently twenty
seven hundred. The nomination could be done online. It's a

(34:41):
quick process. Now, the problem is they're over two hundred
nominations per year and they meet each year in June
to decide it. Okay, so we only have like a
week to get this together.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (34:55):
The bigger picture is what is the cost of a
Walk of Fame star ceremony. There's an eighty five thousand
dollars sponsorship fee upon selection. The fee is used to
pay for the creation and installation of the star, as
well as future maintenance of the Walk of Fame eighty
five thousand up front. Okay, that's the sticking point right now.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Can I bring my general contractor to maybe do it?
I could cut costs.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
Get down to thirty k Yeah, I don't see that
in the language bio contract, but I am looking. Can
someone decease me nominade? Yes, but you could do it
when they're alive as well.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
I don't want to be Pete Rose and get on
there posthumously. Have to get their approval though, right, Yeah,
I'm going to give my approval now on tape. Yeah,
something happens to me, then you have my approval.

Speaker 7 (35:43):
There are six different categories, as you said, radio, TV,
and movies would be possibly for all of yours.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, i'd rather. I think I might have less competition
with radio than I would with being an athlete 's
movie staring like that film I'm in movies? Do they
have something from movies they're supposed to film? Yes?

Speaker 7 (36:07):
Well, no, film and movies are.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Oh, okay, you're in flicks. I'm I'm in movies with Sandler.

Speaker 7 (36:15):
Yeah, each of the six categories is represented by a
Walk of Famer who has expertise in that field. So
if you went to radio, I think your odds are best.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Okay, Well we'll work on that. If not this year,
then maybe next year.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
An average of thirty stars are selected per year.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
So thirty out of two hundred two.

Speaker 7 (36:35):
To three hundred average application three.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Okay, all right, Hutch in Vancouver, Hi, Hutch, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 11 (36:46):
Well, Dan, I'm actually in the delivery room with my
wife here, and you guys were here for the birth
of my first side about ten years ago, and I
want to say thank you for everything you've done over
the years. It'd be the first to donate to your
Hollywood Walker.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Oh well, you don't have to donate. You're gonna you're
gonna spend a lot of money on that child. Uh
so I want you to save that for the college education.
But good luck with what's the time frame for the
delivery here, Hutch?

Speaker 11 (37:13):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 10 (37:13):
What was that?

Speaker 11 (37:14):
Danny cut you off?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Are you in the middle of delivery?

Speaker 11 (37:19):
Pretty close? Yeah? Well, no know, way, I gotta step out. Actually,
they're kicking the out the room. Because I'm on the
phone with you, Danny.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Okay, all right, uh call back if we have a
baby before the end of the show there, Hutch, if
you can.

Speaker 11 (37:30):
Oh, actually, is the right if I do a quick
height waight?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah? Wait?

Speaker 11 (37:34):
Is it pretty much? Yeah? We were. We were wrapping
up right there. How'd you in their pod? I got
a Stellar Rivers at six pounds five ounces, and I
just want to do one more suck at Chrissy.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Thank you Hunch to hear that from the delivery room.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Everything was going so well. I was so happy for drop.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
That Griffin in Cincinnati, Hi Griff, welcome back.

Speaker 18 (37:59):
Good morning, Dan, Dan Epps. All Bengals fans are on
the side of Shamar Stewart. I think that even though
he hasn't played it down in the league, he's only
been in the NFL six weeks, he's saying everything that
the Bengals front office has been doing for the last
twenty thirty years now for Paul Ley, when he was
talking about not wanting to pay Trey Hendrickson, No, the
Bengal should not pay him thirty five million dollars a year.

(38:22):
And I respect the fact that they haven't changed their
ways and they've you know, done the same things for
a while now. But you know it's not the detriment
of the team. You look at a guy like Jesse Bates,
they let him walk for fifteen million dollars a year.
Jamar Chase stuff last year cost the Bengals some wins
and everything, so they got to make some changes. But
Shamar Stewart, I think he's one hundred percent of the

(38:42):
right Dad.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I do too. You know, it's language in his contract,
and you know, injuries and guarantees. But I this has
to do with just money. And if you don't think
Trey Hendrickson is worth thirty five million dollars, then you
don't pay him. Okay, maybe that's why you drafted Stewart

(39:06):
in the first place. Fresh in Milwaukee, Hi, Fresh, what's
on your mind?

Speaker 10 (39:11):
Good morning?

Speaker 11 (39:12):
DP.

Speaker 10 (39:14):
Got a quick question for you and the dan Nets
about two videos. First, have you seen the video Chador
Sanders looking like an absolute stud? And have you seen
the video of Boogie Oogie Woogie Cousins acting up in
the Latino League? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I saw that with Boogie Cousins. They threw beer on
him and he was going into the stands. He had
been ejected from the game, and I don't know what
the punishment is. I just saw that. Somebody said it
was going to be a severe I didn't even know.
He's still playing basketball. It's ugly though, Yeah. Yeah, got
fans involved in it, and he had to be held back.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
Yeah, or he suspended for the season in Puerto Rico.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Okay, Yeah, that's a harshment punishment there. The Chador Sanders
looking like a baller. There's no defense there. It's just
kind of rolling right and throwing the posting highlight do
they show when he throws in the incompletion. It's fit
in such a tight win, there's nobody, nobody chasing you.

(40:12):
I was great in layup lines, just letting you know.
It's when they started to guard you, and it's like, hey,
get away from me. Hey, you're crowding me, Stuart and Dallas. Hi, Stuart,
Hey DP.

Speaker 15 (40:29):
I got an idea about the NBA All Star Game.
It's twelve minute quarters in the regular season. We'll put
it to eight minute or even six minute coreters and
have eight players per team, and it's going to be
over in less than an hour.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Well no, no, no, they want this to last longer
because they have advertising inventory.

Speaker 11 (40:52):
They don't.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
They don't want it done in thirty minutes. They want
to stretch this out. Yes, Mark that, Stuart.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
They did the exact thing last year and this was awful.

Speaker 11 (41:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
I think the complete time.

Speaker 8 (41:03):
Of basketball being played in last year's All Star Game
was like forty one minutes.

Speaker 5 (41:08):
They don't want that.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
No, two hours in the books. Thanks for the phone call. There,
We'll get to more phone calls. Dylan will recap his
nine nine nine, nine hot Dogs, nine beers, nine innings.
He'll join us coming up in about ten minutes from now.
He looks a little puffy today, understandably so. And Chris
Simms from Pro Football Talk will stop by as well.

(41:32):
He's got Patrick Mahomes ranked as the fourth best quarterback
in the NFL this upcoming season. He'll explain
