Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Made it to a Friday. It's a meat Friday morale
is kinda. It started out really strong, great menu, It's
a champions dinner, Paulie won our Masters tournament, and Fritzi
was Friday Fritzy, and then all of a sudden it
started to go south. So let's put the first hour
behind us, and let's move ahead and try to dominate.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
What we had is this moment in time, Thank you, Tod.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
The Master's luncheon is we have smoked bacon wrapped scallops.
We have tomato capriese salad. We have Polish sausages, and
we have main blueberry pie or Miller Lite or both
for dessert. Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, yes, paul I just checked.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
This is the same exact menu that Sevi Ballistaro's had
in eighty six.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
No, it's not at all.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, I would have believed j Randa Stat of a
Day brought to you bah Benini the official Trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. You may not know this
since we've been caught up in other stories, but Aaron
Judge is off to a historical start. David Cohne, former
pitcher now Yankee broadcaster, will join us coming up here shortly. Also,
(01:19):
we'll recap the NBA from last night and look ahead
to this weekend as well with the Nuggets and the Clippers.
You got the Rockets and the Warriors coming up tonight.
But Jalen Brunson, he is the most clutch player in
the NBA, and they gave him an award and also
he proved it last night backing down a star top
without the logo twentieth time left. We're tied at one thirteen.
(01:43):
Here in game six, Brunson between the leg triple guts,
wit of Thompson to walk.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Up retortal Pleik got it. The clutch Player of the
Year will not be to night. Jalen Brunson was four
point three, puts the list in front one sixteen O
one thirteen.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
They ended up winning and saying goodbye to the Pistons.
They now move on to face the Boston Celtics, so
we'll look at that series for them coming up as well.
There was also a moment yesterday that stood out for me,
and that was JJ Reddick his exit interview with the media,
and this is where you kind of say, oh, you
know what, let's recap the season. A lot of positives here,
(02:20):
a lot of great things to work on. JJ Reddick
came out with an opening statement and opening salvo, and
this is what he said.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
I'll start with the off season and the work that's
required in an off season to be in championship shape.
And you know, we have a ways to go as
a roster, and certainly there are individuals that were in
phenomenal shape.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
That's where my mind goes immediately, is you know, we
have to get in championship shape.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, he's talking about Luca. I don't know if any
member of the media said, coach, who are you talking about?
Who needs to get in shape? And if I'm Luca,
if I have a private conversation with my coach, I'm
okay with this. Because JJ Reddick has allotted Steak as well.
We can look at Lebron trying to win a title. Luca,
(03:20):
do you want to stay here? Do you want to
be one of the all time greats? And I think
what JJ is saying is true. You need to get
in championship shape. He's not talking about Lebron probably not
talking about anybody else on that roster. I was surprised,
but I'm curious how Luca accepted this or did he
(03:44):
accept it, because really that's all that matters here. JJ
can say this and that can placate the media that
all right, you know you're taking names here without naming names,
but I want to know Luca, and Luca doesn't strike
me somebody who takes criticism. We see how he reacts
with fans, we see how he reacts to officials, and
(04:08):
this is part of the reason why. Okay, when you
think about this, he lost one hundred million dollars by
not being in shape. He was going to get one
hundred million dollars more from Dallas. They decided they weren't
going to invest that much money. If that's not a
(04:29):
wake up call to get in better shape one hundred
million dollars, then it doesn't matter what your coach says.
Your coach can say you got to get in championship shape.
It may not resonate with him. I would if i'm
JJ Reddick, I bring Luca and Lebron in and I say, Luca,
(04:49):
I need you to give me a couple of days
a week with Lebron and work out with Lebron. If
you do what he does, you can be one of
the five greatest players, ten greatest players of all time.
But I'm going to put it on Lebron because Lebron
wants to win a title and Lebron's not going to
win a title unless Luca is in great shape and
(05:09):
ready to play start to finish. Now, it might not
be fair to say, Lebron, I want you to take
him under your wings, but I'm going to ask Lebron
to do that. If you're calling out Luca to get
in shape, then I'm going to say to Lebron, you
got to help me get in shape and then maybe
you get a chance to win a championship here, because
if you don't get him in shape or don't help
him get in shape, then it's not going to happen.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
Yes, Marvin, but so basically what you're saying is you
need Lebron to kind of be a babysitter like hey,
to do your profession get in shape.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, I don't know if it's babysitter as much as mentor,
and maybe you know it's semantics there, but you're going
to show him how to get in shape. You know
he's been doing this. How many times have we heard all?
You know he spends a million dollars investing in his body. Well,
it's held up. I mean, there's nobody like him to
(06:01):
be able to do what he's done for this many years.
The mileage that's on him, and Luca needs to be
in better shape so he's ready to go at the
end of the season and he doesn't have these nagging injuries.
But this is calculated. This isn't a back and forth
where JJ went off script and said something. It felt
like he's starting his press conference. This wasn't a response
(06:26):
to a question. This was calculated. Now. I want to
see what happens with Luca.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Yes, Marvin going forward, Maybe in a contract, are there incentives,
maybe like a weight incentive, whatever you do in your
spare time, drinking, eating, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's dangerous, almost like Kyler Murray where it's.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Like, yeah, well to tell him to study, yeah, instead
of playing video games. I hated. Now they've done that
with the lineman before, where you know you're going to
show up, you have to be at a certain level,
you know, certain weight, and maybe you get docked if
you're not or going into training camp. But this is
(07:08):
one of the great players and you shouldn't have to
tell him to get in shape. And yes, I know,
and out of shape Luca went to the NBA Finals.
I understand all of that. But does an in shape
Luca win in NBA Finals and he can't be a
liability on defense like he was, because that, to me
(07:30):
was glaring in that series against Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yes boy, when I heard the comments from JJ Reddick yesterday,
it brought me back to fifteen eighteen years ago, Shaq
and Kobe and I went and found a couple of
clips to Kobe Bryant at the end of the season
where he's being interviewed right after a playoff exit, a
way too early playoff exit, and Kobe's like, we got
to be more focused in the off season. We have
to work harder. And you know, Kobe's not talking about
(07:54):
himself because he didn't have to worry about him. He
never says any names, but Kobe says or whatever it starts,
not in a month, not in a week.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
We work out today.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Eight seven seven three DP Show email address DPA Danpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. Good morning, if
you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app.
Go to Danpatrick dot com. You'll click on the spirits tab.
A really special offer there with select purchases of Tailgate Moonshine,
something we've been working on for a while and really
excited about. Danpatrick dot Com. Poll question Seaton for hour
(08:27):
two is going to be what let me update you
from our one. But do you think that the Luca's
weight is an issue? Yes?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
And I think it's pretty clear. I mean you could
see it, yeah, right, Yeah, And even the way he
plays the game seems to be a little differently.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, he does play differently, but he plays similarly to
Kawhi from the standpoint he controls the tempo. But Kawhi
has been in great shape. I just think he has
bad luck when it comes to injuries. Lucas just carrying
a lot of weight, and it just makes him so
much more vulnerable to these nagging injuries. He just needs
(09:06):
to be toned, you know. You know, I don't want
to fat shame somebody, but I think he needs to
be toned. You can be you know, his work ethic
needs to be toned. He has to understand I have
to put in the time here. That'll make me stronger, better, healthier.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
Yeah, especially if coach is like, you know you're gonna
play every minute of the second half, so start running.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah yeah, what's poll question?
Speaker 9 (09:31):
I'd rather own a triple crown winning horse or a
small UK soccer club Right now sixty percent would rather
own a triple crown winning horse.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, but we were singling out Wrexham. Yeah, because that's
been an unbelievable story and I'd rather have that ride
as an underdog and maybe you get to the Premier League.
That to me, and those guys are going to make
some money. Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclanny. It's always sunny
(10:01):
in Philadelphia. Those are the two main owners there. Yeah,
Paulin one thing.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Though, if you buy a soccer team, if generally I
would think it'd be more cost seat and you could
help me here, but it'd be more of a you're
spending money. And this is the anomaly Wrexham. If you
have a triple crown winning horse, they retire right after
the triple crown. You put them in a barn and
they get stud fees. I looked it up. American Pharaoh,
remember that horse from one a decade or so ago. Yeah,
won the Kentucky Derby in twenty fifteen. Right after that
(10:29):
it moved to Keenland or moved to a stud farm.
Forty five thousand dollars a shot session, yes, session, that's
They estimate at least four million dollars in profit a year,
if not more.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, but four million a year as opposed to taking
a two and a half million dollar investment. Now it's
worth one hundred million and could be worth upwards of
a billion dollars.
Speaker 9 (10:54):
Yeah, see, which is not the norm by the way, Yeah,
that's not that. You don't normally find a team in
like the fourth tier, bring them up after just a
couple of years and have that happen with your investment.
There's the owner of a I think it was Crystal Palace.
He had this quote that I love that I always
bring back. But he said about owning a team, it's
not a matter of if you'll lose money, it's how
(11:16):
much money you're willing to lose, because there's always something
that's coming up. So you made it to the Premier League,
Well now you've got to get the Champions League. Well
that's going to cost you more money. Because you've got
to buy better players, so you have to do you're
constantly leveling up at all times. Then you've got to
improve the stadium.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And you know there's I like making money when I'm sleeping,
and if you have a triple Crown winner, you're probably
making money when you're sleeping.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Accurate.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I understand that. Tom in North Carolina? Hi, Tom, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (11:47):
DP, I got a couple of questions for the room
regarding the celebrity family feud. Yeah, first question is is
fits Tod's mom loves a game shows so much? Is
this going to be the first time she sees him
on TV? And my second question is knowing Steve Harvey's
Steve Harvey's Steve Harvey's background, is Todd gonna accidentally let
(12:12):
it slip that he is an aspiring comedian?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Wouldn't it be obvious to Steve Harvey if he knows
that Todd is an aspiring comedian just by his witty
repartee your one liners, you're impersonations. What do you think, Tom?
Speaker 12 (12:30):
I think the concern is on my part, especially like
if you start trying too hard to be funny and
I've gotten myself in a even when I'm not trying
to be funny. It's questionable, but I want to be
on good behavior and not try I'm not gonna try
it any material and be try to be extra funny
to keep up.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
With Steve Harvey.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, you sure, I think so?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (12:51):
If I'm put in a position where you know there's
something funny to be said or clever, that's different than
trying out.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So you're gonna try not to be funny.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
I'm going to try to be funny naturally if something
were to happen.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So this will go back to what Frank Kelliendo, the
brilliant comedian said, you're funny when you're not trying to
be funny.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yes, I kind of took that. I took that to heart.
Speaker 12 (13:13):
And you know, when you're trying too hard and you're
not fund that's the worst kind of not funny, when
you're trying too hard and everyone knows just not.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What's the opposite of being a comedian who does try
to be funny?
Speaker 13 (13:23):
Right?
Speaker 12 (13:23):
Well, we see how my success rate in the previous
times I tried that, So if.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
You know true, I got something. How about you warm
up the crowd at celebrity family.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Few.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Now you're talking, how about we sing and how about
we tell some jokes, throw.
Speaker 12 (13:38):
At some throw some Frisbees and keychains and family fore
T shirts and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Pollie, would you reach out to Steve Steve Harvey's people
and see if Todd could warm up the crowd, maybe
sing a song or two.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'm on it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Okay, how about we curry some favor with the audience,
then they'll be on our side. We would have a
home court advantage.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Or it can go terribly the other way and then
you get booed off the screen because I did that.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yes, yes, Paul family. Boh okay, celebrity family family.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
That could happen. I could backfire.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Let me see uh Julianne in San Diego, Hi, Julianne,
welcome back.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Hey DP, I have one of those age old surgery
versus procedures. Oh so I recently found out that I UH,
a mole that I have is actually malignant melanoma. And
when I told my husband and I said, you know,
the standard of care is a surgeon is going to
remove it and that's pretty much it. And he goes,
(14:38):
is it a surgery or is it a procedure, literally,
the first thing he said, for the most part. So, so, yeah,
we want to know is it surgery or procedure for
a surgeon to go in and cut out skin cancil,
leave it open for a couple of days, and then
close it up a few days later.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I'm going to say procedure. I would go sidure, Tod,
what about you, I'm gonna go procedure. All right, Paulie, I.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Think that's surgery. Use the word go in. That means
inside the body and scalpels being used. I think it's
a moderate surgery.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I don't know if it's invasive surgery. Okay, So it's
like the surface, are you put under, Julian, are you
put under?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, that's a procedure. Yeah, that's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, even gonna be there for an hour?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Can you park your car for thirty minutes and come
out and get back in your car.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
It's very possible.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Okay, all right, that's a procedure. All right, Well, we
wish you luck with your procedure. Still very important. Procedure
is it is not something to mess with. Uh, there's
no such thing as minor surgery. That's when it's on
somebody else, not used. But it's a procedure. Yes, it's
minor procedure.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yes, Paul quick update clinic says this surgery involves cutting
away thin layers of skin and looked at to check.
They call it Moe's surgery mohs surgery, not most procedure.
The actual definition is most.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I'm still going procedure. It helps them. I've had surgeries, Paul,
I know what surgery is. When they put you under,
that's surgery.
Speaker 12 (16:22):
Just saying Todd, Yeah, I've been there, and especially when
they start giving you all kinds of forms to fill out,
like if we screw up, here's a pink form, he's
a yellow form.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
He has fifteen different things.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
If we mess up, you know you're okay with that.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I don't even look at what I'm signing anymore. Yeah.
If I die, then you know I'll leave it in
my wife's hands. Follow up, All right, let me take
a break. What was the message JJ Reddick was really

Speaker 3 (18:15):
What song is this? Marmon Another Star by Stevie Wonder?
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Okay, the greatest solo artist ever? He is hot. Take No,
he's not greatest solo artist ever.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, he's not.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
He's as talented as any solo artist. Prince, to me,
is more special than Stevie Wonder.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Stevie Wonder is Michael Jordan in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, But then what was Prince in the eighties and nineties?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Magic Bird? He was him and Mike were Magic and Bird.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
He was Michael and he was Magic and he was Larry.
Prince played every instrument these you know, fellow musicians will
go he could be the greatest guitar player of all time.
And then he just happened to be Prince, and he
was a baller as well. Yeah he was. Although I
did run into somebody who played a pickup game against
(19:11):
Prince because he had heard me say how good was he?
He said, I'm telling you the guy was good. I said, okay,
he goes he was so athletic, and I said, all right,
all right, So Prince, you know it's true that he
was a baller. Vincent Goodwill y'all Who's sports NBA writer
and host of the good Word podcast on yall Who's
(19:33):
Sports ball Don't Wine Channel, joining us on the program.
You heard those stories about Prince, right.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I actually had dinner with someone last week in LA
who talked about having a pickup game with Prince at
the University of Minnesota in the late seventies with the
that Kevin McHale team, and the coach told Prince to
get off the floor because he was like, you're just
a random guy here. But Prince was playing so well
that the players were like, man, just come back. So yeah,
(20:00):
and the Prince Stevie won. The argument is closer to
me than the Michael Lebron argument. It depends on the day.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Wow, So you're saying, Stevie wonder probably probably yeah, I'll
respect that you're wrong, but I'll respect that.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Prince take.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Prince was a hit machine man.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
He was.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And you know, Stevie, what is it? Songs in the
Key of Life.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Look Songs in the Key of Life and a Vision's
Talking Book. He had a run in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Fan he did that.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I'm not sure any artist ever has done so that
that's the Stevie argument.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Okay, do the Knicks fans celebrate too much? Dan?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
When you haven't won anything, then you deserve to celebrate.
Like the last time the Knicks made the conference finals
in the East was in two thousand. I was a
sophomore high school man, so I get it. I totally understand.
Every other team has made it to the conference the
most teams have made it to the conference final six
(21:09):
since then. The Knicks haven't. So, you know, I appreciate
their energy, I really do. They're a fun bunch to
be around.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Okay, So you can't say like you've been there because
they haven't been there in such a long time. But
your fan base, I mean, you just beat the Pistons
and you're celebrating like you want won a championship. When
they beat the Hawks a couple of years ago, they
celebrated like they'd want a championship here. I like the enthusiasm,
but they kind of treat the Knicks like they're, you know,
(21:39):
the young upstar team, like they were the Pistons, you know, like, hey,
look at this little spunky group here.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, I mean they've won fifty games, right, like this
should be expected of the Knicks. The Knicks are the
team that was prohibitively the favorite in this and you
won three games on the road by the skin of
your chinny chin chin. It took the reps to help
you one game. It took you Asar Thompson, who had
Jalen Brunson in jail in the fourth quarter, Like, Dan,
(22:09):
you've ever been on punishment before where you can't go
outside and you look outside and the weather is just
good and your friends are running around and you can't
go anywhere because you did something stupid. That's what Jalen
Brown was. Let me say, excuse me, Jaalen Brown. Jalen
Brunson was until that last play a phenomenal play. And
now the Knicks have reality facing them because the Boston
(22:29):
Celtics are going to send them home in unremarkable fashion
if it goes six games, I will be happy for
the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
This is one of my pet peeves, and I apologize
to my owness because they know that I say this
all the time. I can't let the best guy on
the floor beating He was just named the most clutch
player in the NBA. They actually have an award that
they give to him. Thompson had done a wonderful job
on him. But I go back to when I watched
(22:58):
Michael Jordan push on Frime So and there's no help
coming against Mike So, the greatest player in the history
of the game, and you're gonna have one guy try
to guard him. And here's Jalen Brunson. Where is the
help to get the ball out of his hands? Cat's
not on the floor, hadn't he fouled out? So maybe
you're going to force somebody who's not used to taking
that shot. I find it inexcusable that you can't get
(23:21):
the ball out of the hands of the one guy
you know who can beat you.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I think coaches like to keep things simple because when
you get into scramble situations, someone cuts and gets open.
Earlier in that fourth quarter, Michal Bridges wound up getting
to tip in because the floor was unbalanced. A lot
of times you're going to say, Asar Thompson, you want
to be one of the best defenders in the game.
If we are to elevate ourselves as a franchise as
(23:46):
the Detroit Pistons, you have to be the guy in
these situations. What greater test is it right now than
to stop the most clutch player in the NBA this season? Like,
if you're the Pistons, you're playing with house money at
that point. Dan, this isn't the NBA Finals in nineteen
ninety eight where you get John Stockton and Karl Malowan's
legacy on the line. You can afford in that spot
in this series to find out what you have. If
(24:09):
this went to a game seven, Dan, the Pistons would
have been wiped out. Like emotionally, I think that series
would have taken so much out of them because they
weren't expecting to play this loan given where they were
last year. So you saw what you had in the
star Thompson in that moment. He's going to learn from it,
and hopefully for the pistons sake and for Thompson, he
will come back better for it next season.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Who's more threatening going forward, the Clippers or the Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Ooh, I mean, look, I think the Clippers are better constructed, right,
I think the Clippers to some degree are a better
matchup for the Oklahoma City Thunder. But have you noticed
what Nikola Joki jays. He's still the best player on
Earth right now? And anytime you have a guy who
can tilt the axis of a game just by his
(24:57):
mere presence, because you have to double them. You can't
let Isaiah Hartenstein or Chet Holmgren or anybody else guard
him one on one. Assuming they get to the next round,
they have Game seven on their home floor tomorrow. Like
that's where the balance comes. The question comes to me, Dan,
do you trust James Harden in a critical situation and
(25:17):
a critical game. He showed up last night, But that's
been more or less the anomaly in the long term. Like,
he's had some great games, and he's had some stinkers,
and the stinkers stand out a lot more than the
great games that're just louder. But Dan, have you noticed
the players who have the stinkers, the players who have
the loud bad games suddenly have come to the forefront
(25:40):
and had some great ones like Julius Randall with the
Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Talking to Bencent Goodwill, Yanhu's Sports NBA writer. He was
there last night with the Pistons and the Knicks. You
also witness the Lakers get eliminated by the Timberwolves. Let
me bring back what JJ Reddick said yesterday in his
exit interview. This is how he starts out, and I
want to know how you think this resonated with Luca.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
I'll start with the offseason and the work that's required
in an offseason to be in championship shape. And you know,
we have a ways to go as a roster, and
certainly there are individuals that were in phenomenal shape.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
That's where my mind goes immediately, is you know, we
have to get in championship shape.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
He's on the cusp of saying, Luke, I'm talking about you.
How do you think Luca is taking this?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I mean when you get traded, and the underlying tenor
of that was we think you're fat and out of shape,
and you don't play defense, and we don't think your
career is going to last very long as it should.
That's to be a wake up call in itself. I'm
a bit surprised that Luca didn't get himself in better
shape in La once he was traded, having that sort
(27:04):
of wake up call, that sort of public embarrassment, like
say what you want about being traded to the Lakers
and you're the next guy and everything else. Dallas rejected
him or Nico Harrison rejected him in such a way
that was public and in such a way that usually
challenges a player. And then JJ Reddick goes out there
and challenges him like that, Dan, he was food in
(27:27):
that series against the Lakers. He was blown by every
single time, and he just looked so gassed and out
of it. And by the time Game five came around,
you could tell he was going to be productive. But
he can be productive with his eyes closed, Like Dan,
go look at what Luca looked like as a rookie
when he was a teenager, and like man, he looked
(27:48):
like in a donas compared to the guy that we
see now. So I suspect he will come back in
better shape because you know, he wasn't talking about Lebron James,
like we know who he was talking about out there.
So yeah, Luca got challenged publicly in a way that
he has to respond.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Now, doesn't this backup what Nico Harrison was saying in Dallas?
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (28:11):
It does.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Does it validate the trade? Does it validate what you
got in return for the trade? Does it validate that
you did not scan the league to get the best
return possible for the trade. I don't think anybody won't say.
There's not too many people. There's a lot of people
who were like, you know what, Luca, I mean, excuse me,
Nico Harrison's out of his damn mind, right, But there
were some people who are willing to say, you know what,
(28:33):
I understand what Nico was doing. I just wouldn't have
gone about it the way that Nico did it. And now, Yeah,
the greatest thing for me is this. Nico Harrison essentially
called Luka Doncic a loser pretty much. He says, I've
been around world class athletes who are winners and champions,
and you don't fit the bill of that. If there
(28:55):
is not a greater indictment whether he's wrong or right,
but for someone to basically and tacitly say that about you,
and then repeatedly say that about you, and after mefids say,
I'm not even afraid to trade you to the Lakers.
I think that's how much of a loser you are.
You'd better have a fire lit on the ass.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, and now I understand why you can trade him.
You don't want to invest that kind of money. You
must get a better haul in return. That would be
the only thing that I would argue with this, the
pushback on this. But let's say Christy and Ad were
still on the team and you didn't make this trade.
Were they better equipped to beat Minnesota and actually make
(29:35):
a longer run in the postseason than with Luca.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yes, one of those things like the butterfly effect, right,
like if you put that team against this Minnesota team, Yeah,
you got somebody that can handle Rudy Gobert, but you're
not getting to the third seed without Luka Doncic being
able to carry the regular season load in that way
that Lebron James probably can't at forty years old. In
the way that you structure your roster. This was a
(29:59):
better playoff roster with Anthony Davis. It was a better
regular season roster for Luca Dogers. Like, making no mistake
about it, all the things that we said, he's still
a top three player in the game. Let's let's not
get it twisted. There's just more space for him to
grow in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Okay, waitmen, you say he's top three, So Luca's best
or U Joker's best? Yeah, yees sga mm hmm, Yannis,
You're gonna put Luca over Janni's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I think Jannis has won a grand total of one
playoff series since twenty twenty one. At some point, you
gotta start, you gotta you have to start saying, what
have you done for me lately? Janet Jackson, you gotta
start saying that. And I would take Gianni's over Luca
because he stays in shape and because he's a great
(30:49):
player on both ends of the floor. But I, if
any I wouldn't quibble with anybody who says that Luca's three.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Would you take Anthony Edwards over Luca?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Now we're getting somewhere, Dan, Now we're getting a little spicy. Yeah,
you know, ant Man, Superman, Batman, Lagas and five, Like,
don't you love that? Don't you love the fact that
ant is so outside he pays attention to what everybody says.
But on the floor, Dan there's a pride there that
Ant looked at the Lakers and he said, I'm going
to put these dudes out. And not only am I
(31:21):
going to put these dudes out, I'm locking up Lebron,
I'm locking up Luca, like taking the personal challenge of
all this on both ends of the floor, realizing that
both ends of the floor are important and leading like,
think about this, He's gotten the most out of Rudy Gobert,
Karl Anthony Towns, and Julius Randall. That's a mockley crew
(31:42):
of dudes that as an NBA a public we don't
believe in.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I like that the Lakers made Rudy Gobert look like
wil Chamberlain.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
And they made Julius Randa look like Charles Barkley circa
nineteen eighty nine, Like are we kidding here? Like the
Lakers just didn't have anything for Rudy Gobert. And when
Rudy's the punching bag and Julius is the punching bag,
it's good to see the rabbit have the gun sometimes.
And I'm really really fascinated by this. Next year, I'll
be covering the next series, whether it's Minnesota and Houston
(32:14):
or Minnesota and the Golden State Warriors, and if Anthony
Edwards Dan puts out in consecutive years, Kevin Durant, Nakola Jokic, Luka, Doncic,
Lebron James, and then maybe Steph Curry. We're talking about
in Isaiah Thomas run, Keem Elijah on run of putting
out dudes with my bare hands. Can't wait to see it.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Golden in a okay situation here, how do you feel
about them?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
They better win to night? Are you kidding me? They
better win tonight?
Speaker 12 (32:43):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
You got a Game six on your home floor. Anything
can happen in the game seven. And when you're playing
against a young and dumb team. And I say that affection.
I just watched the young and dumb team in Detroit
last night. You don't want to give them any confidence
to believe that they can actually win this series. We
know Houston is one player away. Whoever that player is,
we don't know, we will see, but they're a player away.
(33:05):
Golden State is built to win right now. Draymond Green
is where he is. Jimmy Butler, they acquired him for this.
This is why you have the guys that you have
not just so you can get out of the first
round so that you can make a legit run to
the NBA Finals. If they lose a three to one lead,
then can you imagine the jokes to email you Doka
in the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
My goodness, what happens to Jimmy Butler if they bowl
out here?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I mean, he's gonna still have a lot of money
in a couple of more years to figure this out
with Golden State. I think it's a bad look for everybody,
But as we saw with Jimmy Butler in Game four
with that bad injury, he's capable of carrying them in
ways that lifts a team not dissimilar to what Stephen
Curry does. They just do it in a different way.
(33:53):
I would not be surprised if the Warriors treat this
like a Game seven tonight, because they have to treat
it like a Game seven if not of the reason
Dan they need the rest, They need a couple of
more days before going on to the next series. You
don't want to be wearing the Houston Rocket scent on
you while you're playing Anthony Edwards in a Minnesota Timberwolves
in the next round. You don't want those problems.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Always great to talk to you, safe travels, Thanks again
for joining us. Always good that's Vincent Goodwill. Yeaho's sports
NBA writer and host of Good Word podcast on Yahoo's Sports.
He'll be covering the next series, I believe with the Timberwolves.
We'll take a break when we come back. Who had
the best weekend sports? And we have some prop bets
(34:38):
that we want to run by you that'll be coming
up next year, Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
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 (34:52):
All right, see, and so we get to choose two
over unders for the games coming up tonight.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
No, you get to do It's a pick six, so
you can do six of them. Oh, I think it's
at least two picks, Okay, so I can. I can
choose two. Like if I say Steph Curry over under
twenty five and a half and I go under, and
I go Steph Curry over under two and a half turnovers.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And I go over. Right, Yeah, if that's what you
want to do, okay, I'm going to do that. Yep. Okay,
anybody else Paul, I have one.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I think this is a lock.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Jalen Green of Houston little underwhelming the first couple games
over under fifteen and a half points, big over for him.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Okay, compensation night.
Speaker 16 (35:46):
Okay, yes, Ton, I'm going to do a trifector of
Steph Curry over four and a half May three pointers,
Jimmy Butler under twenty two and a half points, Fred
van Vliet under fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
And a half point hy what about you, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (35:58):
I'm gonna go my May and Fred Vleet over fifteen
and a half points. He's been on fire lately. And
then I'm going to have Steph Curry over four and
a half three pointers made. I think the Warriors get
him some op shots.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Thinks Steph has hit over four to three pointers seventeen
times this season.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Okay, does this seem low to you?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, it kind of seems normal for him that his
average would be about five a game something like that.
So that's how you do it. That's how easy it is.

Speaker 12 (36:59):
Recently hey bias to Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks
moving on to play the Boston Celtics in the second seaton.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Best week in sports gotta be Aaron Judge. Yep, gotta
be all right, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Kawhi Leonard, he's been on fire all playoffs.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Okay, Paul, I'm gonna have a little leftover from last week.
Travis Hunter going to Jacksonville instead of Cleveland. I've never
been a fan of how Cleveland runs things. That him
not going there was.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
A win for him. I would say Aaron Judge the
best month in sports. It feels like David Cone, the
Yankee announcer, set to join us at the top of
the hour, and you know, I'd love for David Cone
to be able to go. This is how I would
pitch Aaron Judge and tell you nobody's on base and
he's going to face him in the first round or
(37:45):
you know, first at bat, and then I'm going to
have him face show. Heytani, I'm going to have him
left hand or right hand or what would his approach be?
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Let me see PJ in Atlanta. Hi, PJ. What's on
your mind today? Five eleve?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Quick question?
Speaker 13 (38:05):
I know you're going on a you're going on a
family feud.
Speaker 10 (38:08):
I know you're gonna start.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
What's the lineup? And then who's doing fast money? Into Marvin?
I'm gonna take Marvin Gay, and I'm gonna take Bob
Marley on a push with his two MJ and uh
uh Stevie wonder what's your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Oh? Well, okay, yeah, I don't have enough time to
get into Bob Marley versus Marvin Gay, Big Marvin Gay fan,
Big Marvin Gay. I don't have the lineup yet. You know,
I'm gonna I'm gonna wait, you know, like all managers,
I wait to put the lineup out there. Yeah, we
(38:43):
have to go through a combine here.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Yes, Marvin, I thought this would be easy, going the
same order as Dan's house. You, Paulie Seaton, Fritzy me. Okay,
I thought that was gonna be pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Okay, all right, yeah, I haven't thought about it again.
I mean, I got to do a show. I'm not
thinking about something in a couple of weeks from now,
like you guys are. Fritzie doesn't even have his headphones
on at one point during the show, which is really
hard to hear. The show very difficult. Everybody's thinking about
no family feud. I'm thinking about this audience right here,
(39:17):
and they deserve our undivided attention. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Pj uh.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Alex in North Dakota, Hi, Alex, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (39:29):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (39:29):
Dan?
Speaker 17 (39:29):
Six seven? Who has it better than your listeners?
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Absolutely nobody, Bunny, I got a pile.
Speaker 17 (39:40):
Of the faith bet anyone who wants to take it.
I am picking the Wolves to win the West go
to the finals. I'm a realistic Minnesota fan, so I
will even choose what pie choice someone would like to take.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Anybody want a piece of that that the Timberwolves do
not go to the NBA Finals, ye, Like, I'm fine
if they do. I don't want to root against them.
I'd like to see aunt man. We're fine with that. Alex,
good luck? Ryan? Oh No, Brian in Omaha. It's Brian
in Omaha.
Speaker 10 (40:11):
Brian, Hey Dan, first time, A long time five eleven
and a lovable two twenty. I'm here to clear up
the definition of procedure versus surgery for you. So I
am a veterinarian, and first of all, i'd love to
offer my veterinary services any of you guys, if you're
(40:33):
ever in Omaha, or if you just need a phone consultation,
you know, feel free to hit me up. But surgery
anything that involves cutting into or onto a body or
I guess animal er a person. A procedure is going
to be something more like a colonoscopy, an ultrasound, X rays,
(40:56):
blood work, you know, anything that if we if we
use your definition of going under as an actual surgery,
then colonoscopy is technically a surgery. So hutting is going
to be your defining factor of a surgery.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Well, and thank you, DONC. But I did my colonoscopy.
I didn't go under. I wanted to have a conversation
with everybody. That's how tough I am. I had a
sports hernia and colonoscopy same day. By the way, just
flip me over. Yeah, Paul, you.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Didn't get on the table you did in the lobby.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Not very satitary to do it.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
That are coming up
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Made it to a Friday. It's a meat Friday morale
is kinda. It started out really strong, great menu, It's
a champions dinner, Paulie won our Masters tournament, and Fritzi
was Friday Fritzy, and then all of a sudden it
started to go south. So let's put the first hour
behind us, and let's move ahead and try to dominate.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
What we had is this moment in time, Thank you, Tod.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
The Master's luncheon is we have smoked bacon wrapped scallops.
We have tomato capriese salad. We have Polish sausages, and
we have main blueberry pie or Miller Lite or both
for dessert. Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, yes, paul I just checked.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
This is the same exact menu that Sevi Ballistaro's had
in eighty six.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
No, it's not at all.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, I would have believed j Randa Stat of a
Day brought to you bah Benini the official Trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. You may not know this
since we've been caught up in other stories, but Aaron
Judge is off to a historical start. David Cohne, former
pitcher now Yankee broadcaster, will join us coming up here shortly. Also,
(01:19):
we'll recap the NBA from last night and look ahead
to this weekend as well with the Nuggets and the Clippers.
You got the Rockets and the Warriors coming up tonight.
But Jalen Brunson, he is the most clutch player in
the NBA, and they gave him an award and also
he proved it last night backing down a star top
without the logo twentieth time left. We're tied at one thirteen.
(01:43):
Here in game six, Brunson between the leg triple guts,
wit of Thompson to walk.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Up retortal Pleik got it. The clutch Player of the
Year will not be to night. Jalen Brunson was four
point three, puts the list in front one sixteen O
one thirteen.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
They ended up winning and saying goodbye to the Pistons.
They now move on to face the Boston Celtics, so
we'll look at that series for them coming up as well.
There was also a moment yesterday that stood out for me,
and that was JJ Reddick his exit interview with the media,
and this is where you kind of say, oh, you
know what, let's recap the season. A lot of positives here,
(02:20):
a lot of great things to work on. JJ Reddick
came out with an opening statement and opening salvo, and
this is what he said.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
I'll start with the off season and the work that's
required in an off season to be in championship shape.
And you know, we have a ways to go as
a roster, and certainly there are individuals that were in
phenomenal shape.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
That's where my mind goes immediately, is you know, we
have to get in championship shape.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, he's talking about Luca. I don't know if any
member of the media said, coach, who are you talking about?
Who needs to get in shape? And if I'm Luca,
if I have a private conversation with my coach, I'm
okay with this. Because JJ Reddick has allotted Steak as well.
We can look at Lebron trying to win a title. Luca,
(03:20):
do you want to stay here? Do you want to
be one of the all time greats? And I think
what JJ is saying is true. You need to get
in championship shape. He's not talking about Lebron probably not
talking about anybody else on that roster. I was surprised,
but I'm curious how Luca accepted this or did he
(03:44):
accept it, because really that's all that matters here. JJ
can say this and that can placate the media that
all right, you know you're taking names here without naming names,
but I want to know Luca, and Luca doesn't strike
me somebody who takes criticism. We see how he reacts
with fans, we see how he reacts to officials, and
(04:08):
this is part of the reason why. Okay, when you
think about this, he lost one hundred million dollars by
not being in shape. He was going to get one
hundred million dollars more from Dallas. They decided they weren't
going to invest that much money. If that's not a
(04:29):
wake up call to get in better shape one hundred
million dollars, then it doesn't matter what your coach says.
Your coach can say you got to get in championship shape.
It may not resonate with him. I would if i'm
JJ Reddick, I bring Luca and Lebron in and I say, Luca,
(04:49):
I need you to give me a couple of days
a week with Lebron and work out with Lebron. If
you do what he does, you can be one of
the five greatest players, ten greatest players of all time.
But I'm going to put it on Lebron because Lebron
wants to win a title and Lebron's not going to
win a title unless Luca is in great shape and
(05:09):
ready to play start to finish. Now, it might not
be fair to say, Lebron, I want you to take
him under your wings, but I'm going to ask Lebron
to do that. If you're calling out Luca to get
in shape, then I'm going to say to Lebron, you
got to help me get in shape and then maybe
you get a chance to win a championship here, because
if you don't get him in shape or don't help
him get in shape, then it's not going to happen.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
Yes, Marvin, but so basically what you're saying is you
need Lebron to kind of be a babysitter like hey,
to do your profession get in shape.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, I don't know if it's babysitter as much as mentor,
and maybe you know it's semantics there, but you're going
to show him how to get in shape. You know
he's been doing this. How many times have we heard all?
You know he spends a million dollars investing in his body. Well,
it's held up. I mean, there's nobody like him to
(06:01):
be able to do what he's done for this many years.
The mileage that's on him, and Luca needs to be
in better shape so he's ready to go at the
end of the season and he doesn't have these nagging injuries.
But this is calculated. This isn't a back and forth
where JJ went off script and said something. It felt
like he's starting his press conference. This wasn't a response
(06:26):
to a question. This was calculated. Now. I want to
see what happens with Luca.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Yes, Marvin going forward, Maybe in a contract, are there incentives,
maybe like a weight incentive, whatever you do in your
spare time, drinking, eating, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's dangerous, almost like Kyler Murray where it's.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Like, yeah, well to tell him to study, yeah, instead
of playing video games. I hated. Now they've done that
with the lineman before, where you know you're going to
show up, you have to be at a certain level,
you know, certain weight, and maybe you get docked if
you're not or going into training camp. But this is
(07:08):
one of the great players and you shouldn't have to
tell him to get in shape. And yes, I know,
and out of shape Luca went to the NBA Finals.
I understand all of that. But does an in shape
Luca win in NBA Finals and he can't be a
liability on defense like he was, because that, to me
(07:30):
was glaring in that series against Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yes boy, when I heard the comments from JJ Reddick yesterday,
it brought me back to fifteen eighteen years ago, Shaq
and Kobe and I went and found a couple of
clips to Kobe Bryant at the end of the season
where he's being interviewed right after a playoff exit, a
way too early playoff exit, and Kobe's like, we got
to be more focused in the off season. We have
to work harder. And you know, Kobe's not talking about
(07:54):
himself because he didn't have to worry about him. He
never says any names, but Kobe says or whatever it starts,
not in a month, not in a week.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
We work out today.

A really special offer there with select purchases of Tailgate Moonshine,
something we've been working on for a while and really
excited about. Danpatrick dot Com. Poll question Seaton for hour
(08:27):
two is going to be what let me update you
from our one. But do you think that the Luca's
weight is an issue? Yes?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
And I think it's pretty clear. I mean you could
see it, yeah, right, Yeah, And even the way he
plays the game seems to be a little differently.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, he does play differently, but he plays similarly to
Kawhi from the standpoint he controls the tempo. But Kawhi
has been in great shape. I just think he has
bad luck when it comes to injuries. Lucas just carrying
a lot of weight, and it just makes him so
much more vulnerable to these nagging injuries. He just needs
(09:06):
to be toned, you know. You know, I don't want
to fat shame somebody, but I think he needs to
be toned. You can be you know, his work ethic
needs to be toned. He has to understand I have
to put in the time here. That'll make me stronger, better, healthier.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
Yeah, especially if coach is like, you know you're gonna
play every minute of the second half, so start running.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah yeah, what's poll question?
Speaker 9 (09:31):
I'd rather own a triple crown winning horse or a
small UK soccer club Right now sixty percent would rather
own a triple crown winning horse.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, but we were singling out Wrexham. Yeah, because that's
been an unbelievable story and I'd rather have that ride
as an underdog and maybe you get to the Premier League.
That to me, and those guys are going to make
some money. Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclanny. It's always sunny
(10:01):
in Philadelphia. Those are the two main owners there. Yeah,
Paulin one thing.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Though, if you buy a soccer team, if generally I
would think it'd be more cost seat and you could
help me here, but it'd be more of a you're
spending money. And this is the anomaly Wrexham. If you
have a triple crown winning horse, they retire right after
the triple crown. You put them in a barn and
they get stud fees. I looked it up. American Pharaoh,
remember that horse from one a decade or so ago. Yeah,
won the Kentucky Derby in twenty fifteen. Right after that
(10:29):
it moved to Keenland or moved to a stud farm.
Forty five thousand dollars a shot session, yes, session, that's
They estimate at least four million dollars in profit a year,
if not more.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, but four million a year as opposed to taking
a two and a half million dollar investment. Now it's
worth one hundred million and could be worth upwards of
a billion dollars.
Speaker 9 (10:54):
Yeah, see, which is not the norm by the way, Yeah,
that's not that. You don't normally find a team in
like the fourth tier, bring them up after just a
couple of years and have that happen with your investment.
There's the owner of a I think it was Crystal Palace.
He had this quote that I love that I always
bring back. But he said about owning a team, it's
not a matter of if you'll lose money, it's how
(11:16):
much money you're willing to lose, because there's always something
that's coming up. So you made it to the Premier League,
Well now you've got to get the Champions League. Well
that's going to cost you more money. Because you've got
to buy better players, so you have to do you're
constantly leveling up at all times. Then you've got to
improve the stadium.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And you know there's I like making money when I'm sleeping,
and if you have a triple Crown winner, you're probably
making money when you're sleeping.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Accurate.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I understand that. Tom in North Carolina? Hi, Tom, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (11:47):
DP, I got a couple of questions for the room
regarding the celebrity family feud. Yeah, first question is is
fits Tod's mom loves a game shows so much? Is
this going to be the first time she sees him
on TV? And my second question is knowing Steve Harvey's
Steve Harvey's Steve Harvey's background, is Todd gonna accidentally let
(12:12):
it slip that he is an aspiring comedian?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Wouldn't it be obvious to Steve Harvey if he knows
that Todd is an aspiring comedian just by his witty
repartee your one liners, you're impersonations. What do you think, Tom?
Speaker 12 (12:30):
I think the concern is on my part, especially like
if you start trying too hard to be funny and
I've gotten myself in a even when I'm not trying
to be funny. It's questionable, but I want to be
on good behavior and not try I'm not gonna try
it any material and be try to be extra funny
to keep up.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
With Steve Harvey.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, you sure, I think so?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (12:51):
If I'm put in a position where you know there's
something funny to be said or clever, that's different than
trying out.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So you're gonna try not to be funny.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
I'm going to try to be funny naturally if something
were to happen.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So this will go back to what Frank Kelliendo, the
brilliant comedian said, you're funny when you're not trying to
be funny.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yes, I kind of took that. I took that to heart.
Speaker 12 (13:13):
And you know, when you're trying too hard and you're
not fund that's the worst kind of not funny, when
you're trying too hard and everyone knows just not.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What's the opposite of being a comedian who does try
to be funny?
Speaker 13 (13:23):
Right?
Speaker 12 (13:23):
Well, we see how my success rate in the previous
times I tried that, So if.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
You know true, I got something. How about you warm
up the crowd at celebrity family.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Few.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Now you're talking, how about we sing and how about
we tell some jokes, throw.
Speaker 12 (13:38):
At some throw some Frisbees and keychains and family fore
T shirts and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Pollie, would you reach out to Steve Steve Harvey's people
and see if Todd could warm up the crowd, maybe
sing a song or two.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'm on it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Okay, how about we curry some favor with the audience,
then they'll be on our side. We would have a
home court advantage.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Or it can go terribly the other way and then
you get booed off the screen because I did that.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yes, yes, Paul family. Boh okay, celebrity family family.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
That could happen. I could backfire.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Let me see uh Julianne in San Diego, Hi, Julianne,
welcome back.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Hey DP, I have one of those age old surgery
versus procedures. Oh so I recently found out that I UH,
a mole that I have is actually malignant melanoma. And
when I told my husband and I said, you know,
the standard of care is a surgeon is going to
remove it and that's pretty much it. And he goes,
(14:38):
is it a surgery or is it a procedure, literally,
the first thing he said, for the most part. So, so, yeah,
we want to know is it surgery or procedure for
a surgeon to go in and cut out skin cancil,
leave it open for a couple of days, and then
close it up a few days later.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I'm going to say procedure. I would go sidure, Tod,
what about you, I'm gonna go procedure. All right, Paulie, I.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Think that's surgery. Use the word go in. That means
inside the body and scalpels being used. I think it's
a moderate surgery.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I don't know if it's invasive surgery. Okay, So it's
like the surface, are you put under, Julian, are you
put under?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, that's a procedure. Yeah, that's a procedure.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, even gonna be there for an hour?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Can you park your car for thirty minutes and come
out and get back in your car.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
It's very possible.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Okay, all right, that's a procedure. All right, Well, we
wish you luck with your procedure. Still very important. Procedure
is it is not something to mess with. Uh, there's
no such thing as minor surgery. That's when it's on
somebody else, not used. But it's a procedure. Yes, it's
minor procedure.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yes, Paul quick update clinic says this surgery involves cutting
away thin layers of skin and looked at to check.
They call it Moe's surgery mohs surgery, not most procedure.
The actual definition is most.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I'm still going procedure. It helps them. I've had surgeries, Paul,
I know what surgery is. When they put you under,
that's surgery.
Speaker 12 (16:22):
Just saying Todd, Yeah, I've been there, and especially when
they start giving you all kinds of forms to fill out,
like if we screw up, here's a pink form, he's
a yellow form.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
He has fifteen different things.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
If we mess up, you know you're okay with that.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I don't even look at what I'm signing anymore. Yeah.
If I die, then you know I'll leave it in
my wife's hands. Follow up, All right, let me take
a break. What was the message JJ Reddick was really
sending and did he need to single out uh Luca

Speaker 3 (18:15):
What song is this? Marmon Another Star by Stevie Wonder?
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Okay, the greatest solo artist ever? He is hot. Take No,
he's not greatest solo artist ever.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, he's not.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
He's as talented as any solo artist. Prince, to me,
is more special than Stevie Wonder.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Stevie Wonder is Michael Jordan in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, But then what was Prince in the eighties and nineties?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Magic Bird? He was him and Mike were Magic and Bird.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
He was Michael and he was Magic and he was Larry.
Prince played every instrument these you know, fellow musicians will
go he could be the greatest guitar player of all time.
And then he just happened to be Prince, and he
was a baller as well. Yeah he was. Although I
did run into somebody who played a pickup game against
(19:11):
Prince because he had heard me say how good was he?
He said, I'm telling you the guy was good. I said, okay,
he goes he was so athletic, and I said, all right,
all right, So Prince, you know it's true that he
was a baller. Vincent Goodwill y'all Who's sports NBA writer
and host of the good Word podcast on yall Who's
(19:33):
Sports ball Don't Wine Channel, joining us on the program.
You heard those stories about Prince, right.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I actually had dinner with someone last week in LA
who talked about having a pickup game with Prince at
the University of Minnesota in the late seventies with the
that Kevin McHale team, and the coach told Prince to
get off the floor because he was like, you're just
a random guy here. But Prince was playing so well
that the players were like, man, just come back. So yeah,
(20:00):
and the Prince Stevie won. The argument is closer to
me than the Michael Lebron argument. It depends on the day.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Wow, So you're saying, Stevie wonder probably probably yeah, I'll
respect that you're wrong, but I'll respect that.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Prince take.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Prince was a hit machine man.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
He was.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And you know, Stevie, what is it? Songs in the
Key of Life.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Look Songs in the Key of Life and a Vision's
Talking Book. He had a run in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Fan he did that.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I'm not sure any artist ever has done so that
that's the Stevie argument.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Okay, do the Knicks fans celebrate too much? Dan?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
When you haven't won anything, then you deserve to celebrate.
Like the last time the Knicks made the conference finals
in the East was in two thousand. I was a
sophomore high school man, so I get it. I totally understand.
Every other team has made it to the conference the
most teams have made it to the conference final six
(21:09):
since then. The Knicks haven't. So, you know, I appreciate
their energy, I really do. They're a fun bunch to
be around.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Okay, So you can't say like you've been there because
they haven't been there in such a long time. But
your fan base, I mean, you just beat the Pistons
and you're celebrating like you want won a championship. When
they beat the Hawks a couple of years ago, they
celebrated like they'd want a championship here. I like the enthusiasm,
but they kind of treat the Knicks like they're, you know,
(21:39):
the young upstar team, like they were the Pistons, you know, like, hey,
look at this little spunky group here.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, I mean they've won fifty games, right, like this
should be expected of the Knicks. The Knicks are the
team that was prohibitively the favorite in this and you
won three games on the road by the skin of
your chinny chin chin. It took the reps to help
you one game. It took you Asar Thompson, who had
Jalen Brunson in jail in the fourth quarter, Like, Dan,
(22:09):
you've ever been on punishment before where you can't go
outside and you look outside and the weather is just
good and your friends are running around and you can't
go anywhere because you did something stupid. That's what Jalen
Brown was. Let me say, excuse me, Jaalen Brown. Jalen
Brunson was until that last play a phenomenal play. And
now the Knicks have reality facing them because the Boston
(22:29):
Celtics are going to send them home in unremarkable fashion
if it goes six games, I will be happy for
the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
This is one of my pet peeves, and I apologize
to my owness because they know that I say this
all the time. I can't let the best guy on
the floor beating He was just named the most clutch
player in the NBA. They actually have an award that
they give to him. Thompson had done a wonderful job
on him. But I go back to when I watched
(22:58):
Michael Jordan push on Frime So and there's no help
coming against Mike So, the greatest player in the history
of the game, and you're gonna have one guy try
to guard him. And here's Jalen Brunson. Where is the
help to get the ball out of his hands? Cat's
not on the floor, hadn't he fouled out? So maybe
you're going to force somebody who's not used to taking
that shot. I find it inexcusable that you can't get
(23:21):
the ball out of the hands of the one guy
you know who can beat you.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I think coaches like to keep things simple because when
you get into scramble situations, someone cuts and gets open.
Earlier in that fourth quarter, Michal Bridges wound up getting
to tip in because the floor was unbalanced. A lot
of times you're going to say, Asar Thompson, you want
to be one of the best defenders in the game.
If we are to elevate ourselves as a franchise as
(23:46):
the Detroit Pistons, you have to be the guy in
these situations. What greater test is it right now than
to stop the most clutch player in the NBA this season? Like,
if you're the Pistons, you're playing with house money at
that point. Dan, this isn't the NBA Finals in nineteen
ninety eight where you get John Stockton and Karl Malowan's
legacy on the line. You can afford in that spot
in this series to find out what you have. If
(24:09):
this went to a game seven, Dan, the Pistons would
have been wiped out. Like emotionally, I think that series
would have taken so much out of them because they
weren't expecting to play this loan given where they were
last year. So you saw what you had in the
star Thompson in that moment. He's going to learn from it,
and hopefully for the pistons sake and for Thompson, he
will come back better for it next season.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Who's more threatening going forward, the Clippers or the Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Ooh, I mean, look, I think the Clippers are better constructed, right,
I think the Clippers to some degree are a better
matchup for the Oklahoma City Thunder. But have you noticed
what Nikola Joki jays. He's still the best player on
Earth right now? And anytime you have a guy who
can tilt the axis of a game just by his
(24:57):
mere presence, because you have to double them. You can't
let Isaiah Hartenstein or Chet Holmgren or anybody else guard
him one on one. Assuming they get to the next round,
they have Game seven on their home floor tomorrow. Like
that's where the balance comes. The question comes to me, Dan,
do you trust James Harden in a critical situation and
(25:17):
a critical game. He showed up last night, But that's
been more or less the anomaly in the long term. Like,
he's had some great games, and he's had some stinkers,
and the stinkers stand out a lot more than the
great games that're just louder. But Dan, have you noticed
the players who have the stinkers, the players who have
the loud bad games suddenly have come to the forefront
(25:40):
and had some great ones like Julius Randall with the
Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Talking to Bencent Goodwill, Yanhu's Sports NBA writer. He was
there last night with the Pistons and the Knicks. You
also witness the Lakers get eliminated by the Timberwolves. Let
me bring back what JJ Reddick said yesterday in his
exit interview. This is how he starts out, and I
want to know how you think this resonated with Luca.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
I'll start with the offseason and the work that's required
in an offseason to be in championship shape. And you know,
we have a ways to go as a roster, and
certainly there are individuals that were in phenomenal shape.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
That's where my mind goes immediately, is you know, we
have to get in championship shape.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
He's on the cusp of saying, Luke, I'm talking about you.
How do you think Luca is taking this?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I mean when you get traded, and the underlying tenor
of that was we think you're fat and out of shape,
and you don't play defense, and we don't think your
career is going to last very long as it should.
That's to be a wake up call in itself. I'm
a bit surprised that Luca didn't get himself in better
shape in La once he was traded, having that sort
(27:04):
of wake up call, that sort of public embarrassment, like
say what you want about being traded to the Lakers
and you're the next guy and everything else. Dallas rejected
him or Nico Harrison rejected him in such a way
that was public and in such a way that usually
challenges a player. And then JJ Reddick goes out there
and challenges him like that, Dan, he was food in
(27:27):
that series against the Lakers. He was blown by every
single time, and he just looked so gassed and out
of it. And by the time Game five came around,
you could tell he was going to be productive. But
he can be productive with his eyes closed, Like Dan,
go look at what Luca looked like as a rookie
when he was a teenager, and like man, he looked
(27:48):
like in a donas compared to the guy that we
see now. So I suspect he will come back in
better shape because you know, he wasn't talking about Lebron James,
like we know who he was talking about out there.
So yeah, Luca got challenged publicly in a way that
he has to respond.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Now, doesn't this backup what Nico Harrison was saying in Dallas?
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (28:11):
It does.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Does it validate the trade? Does it validate what you
got in return for the trade? Does it validate that
you did not scan the league to get the best
return possible for the trade. I don't think anybody won't say.
There's not too many people. There's a lot of people
who were like, you know what, Luca, I mean, excuse me,
Nico Harrison's out of his damn mind, right, But there
were some people who are willing to say, you know what,
(28:33):
I understand what Nico was doing. I just wouldn't have
gone about it the way that Nico did it. And now, Yeah,
the greatest thing for me is this. Nico Harrison essentially
called Luka Doncic a loser pretty much. He says, I've
been around world class athletes who are winners and champions,
and you don't fit the bill of that. If there
(28:55):
is not a greater indictment whether he's wrong or right,
but for someone to basically and tacitly say that about you,
and then repeatedly say that about you, and after mefids say,
I'm not even afraid to trade you to the Lakers.
I think that's how much of a loser you are.
You'd better have a fire lit on the ass.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, and now I understand why you can trade him.
You don't want to invest that kind of money. You
must get a better haul in return. That would be
the only thing that I would argue with this, the
pushback on this. But let's say Christy and Ad were
still on the team and you didn't make this trade.
Were they better equipped to beat Minnesota and actually make
(29:35):
a longer run in the postseason than with Luca.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yes, one of those things like the butterfly effect, right,
like if you put that team against this Minnesota team, Yeah,
you got somebody that can handle Rudy Gobert, but you're
not getting to the third seed without Luka Doncic being
able to carry the regular season load in that way
that Lebron James probably can't at forty years old. In
the way that you structure your roster. This was a
(29:59):
better playoff roster with Anthony Davis. It was a better
regular season roster for Luca Dogers. Like, making no mistake
about it, all the things that we said, he's still
a top three player in the game. Let's let's not
get it twisted. There's just more space for him to
grow in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Okay, waitmen, you say he's top three, So Luca's best
or U Joker's best? Yeah, yees sga mm hmm, Yannis,
You're gonna put Luca over Janni's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I think Jannis has won a grand total of one
playoff series since twenty twenty one. At some point, you
gotta start, you gotta you have to start saying, what
have you done for me lately? Janet Jackson, you gotta
start saying that. And I would take Gianni's over Luca
because he stays in shape and because he's a great
(30:49):
player on both ends of the floor. But I, if
any I wouldn't quibble with anybody who says that Luca's three.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Would you take Anthony Edwards over Luca?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Now we're getting somewhere, Dan, Now we're getting a little spicy. Yeah,
you know, ant Man, Superman, Batman, Lagas and five, Like,
don't you love that? Don't you love the fact that
ant is so outside he pays attention to what everybody says.
But on the floor, Dan there's a pride there that
Ant looked at the Lakers and he said, I'm going
to put these dudes out. And not only am I
(31:21):
going to put these dudes out, I'm locking up Lebron,
I'm locking up Luca, like taking the personal challenge of
all this on both ends of the floor, realizing that
both ends of the floor are important and leading like,
think about this, He's gotten the most out of Rudy Gobert,
Karl Anthony Towns, and Julius Randall. That's a mockley crew
(31:42):
of dudes that as an NBA a public we don't
believe in.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I like that the Lakers made Rudy Gobert look like
wil Chamberlain.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
And they made Julius Randa look like Charles Barkley circa
nineteen eighty nine, Like are we kidding here? Like the
Lakers just didn't have anything for Rudy Gobert. And when
Rudy's the punching bag and Julius is the punching bag,
it's good to see the rabbit have the gun sometimes.
And I'm really really fascinated by this. Next year, I'll
be covering the next series, whether it's Minnesota and Houston
(32:14):
or Minnesota and the Golden State Warriors, and if Anthony
Edwards Dan puts out in consecutive years, Kevin Durant, Nakola Jokic, Luka, Doncic,
Lebron James, and then maybe Steph Curry. We're talking about
in Isaiah Thomas run, Keem Elijah on run of putting
out dudes with my bare hands. Can't wait to see it.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Golden in a okay situation here, how do you feel
about them?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
They better win to night? Are you kidding me? They
better win tonight?
Speaker 12 (32:43):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
You got a Game six on your home floor. Anything
can happen in the game seven. And when you're playing
against a young and dumb team. And I say that affection.
I just watched the young and dumb team in Detroit
last night. You don't want to give them any confidence
to believe that they can actually win this series. We
know Houston is one player away. Whoever that player is,
we don't know, we will see, but they're a player away.
(33:05):
Golden State is built to win right now. Draymond Green
is where he is. Jimmy Butler, they acquired him for this.
This is why you have the guys that you have
not just so you can get out of the first
round so that you can make a legit run to
the NBA Finals. If they lose a three to one lead,
then can you imagine the jokes to email you Doka
in the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
My goodness, what happens to Jimmy Butler if they bowl
out here?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I mean, he's gonna still have a lot of money
in a couple of more years to figure this out
with Golden State. I think it's a bad look for everybody,
But as we saw with Jimmy Butler in Game four
with that bad injury, he's capable of carrying them in
ways that lifts a team not dissimilar to what Stephen
Curry does. They just do it in a different way.
(33:53):
I would not be surprised if the Warriors treat this
like a Game seven tonight, because they have to treat
it like a Game seven if not of the reason
Dan they need the rest, They need a couple of
more days before going on to the next series. You
don't want to be wearing the Houston Rocket scent on
you while you're playing Anthony Edwards in a Minnesota Timberwolves
in the next round. You don't want those problems.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Always great to talk to you, safe travels, Thanks again
for joining us. Always good that's Vincent Goodwill. Yeaho's sports
NBA writer and host of Good Word podcast on Yahoo's Sports.
He'll be covering the next series, I believe with the Timberwolves.
We'll take a break when we come back. Who had
the best weekend sports? And we have some prop bets
(34:38):
that we want to run by you that'll be coming
up next year, Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
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 (34:52):
All right, see, and so we get to choose two
over unders for the games coming up tonight.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
No, you get to do It's a pick six, so
you can do six of them. Oh, I think it's
at least two picks, Okay, so I can. I can
choose two. Like if I say Steph Curry over under
twenty five and a half and I go under, and
I go Steph Curry over under two and a half turnovers.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And I go over. Right, Yeah, if that's what you
want to do, okay, I'm going to do that. Yep. Okay,
anybody else Paul, I have one.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I think this is a lock.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Jalen Green of Houston little underwhelming the first couple games
over under fifteen and a half points, big over for him.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Okay, compensation night.
Speaker 16 (35:46):
Okay, yes, Ton, I'm going to do a trifector of
Steph Curry over four and a half May three pointers,
Jimmy Butler under twenty two and a half points, Fred
van Vliet under fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
And a half point hy what about you, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (35:58):
I'm gonna go my May and Fred Vleet over fifteen
and a half points. He's been on fire lately. And
then I'm going to have Steph Curry over four and
a half three pointers made. I think the Warriors get
him some op shots.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Thinks Steph has hit over four to three pointers seventeen
times this season.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Okay, does this seem low to you?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, it kind of seems normal for him that his
average would be about five a game something like that.
So that's how you do it. That's how easy it is.

Speaker 12 (36:59):
Recently hey bias to Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks
moving on to play the Boston Celtics in the second seaton.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Best week in sports gotta be Aaron Judge. Yep, gotta
be all right, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Kawhi Leonard, he's been on fire all playoffs.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Okay, Paul, I'm gonna have a little leftover from last week.
Travis Hunter going to Jacksonville instead of Cleveland. I've never
been a fan of how Cleveland runs things. That him
not going there was.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
A win for him. I would say Aaron Judge the
best month in sports. It feels like David Cone, the
Yankee announcer, set to join us at the top of
the hour, and you know, I'd love for David Cone
to be able to go. This is how I would
pitch Aaron Judge and tell you nobody's on base and
he's going to face him in the first round or
(37:45):
you know, first at bat, and then I'm going to
have him face show. Heytani, I'm going to have him
left hand or right hand or what would his approach be?
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Let me see PJ in Atlanta. Hi, PJ. What's on
your mind today? Five eleve?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Quick question?
Speaker 13 (38:05):
I know you're going on a you're going on a
family feud.
Speaker 10 (38:08):
I know you're gonna start.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
What's the lineup? And then who's doing fast money? Into Marvin?
I'm gonna take Marvin Gay, and I'm gonna take Bob
Marley on a push with his two MJ and uh
uh Stevie wonder what's your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Oh? Well, okay, yeah, I don't have enough time to
get into Bob Marley versus Marvin Gay, Big Marvin Gay fan,
Big Marvin Gay. I don't have the lineup yet. You know,
I'm gonna I'm gonna wait, you know, like all managers,
I wait to put the lineup out there. Yeah, we
(38:43):
have to go through a combine here.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Yes, Marvin, I thought this would be easy, going the
same order as Dan's house. You, Paulie Seaton, Fritzy me. Okay,
I thought that was gonna be pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Okay, all right, yeah, I haven't thought about it again.
I mean, I got to do a show. I'm not
thinking about something in a couple of weeks from now,
like you guys are. Fritzie doesn't even have his headphones
on at one point during the show, which is really
hard to hear. The show very difficult. Everybody's thinking about
no family feud. I'm thinking about this audience right here,
(39:17):
and they deserve our undivided attention. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Pj uh.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Alex in North Dakota, Hi, Alex, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (39:29):
Hey?
Speaker 16 (39:29):
Dan?
Speaker 17 (39:29):
Six seven? Who has it better than your listeners?
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Absolutely nobody, Bunny, I got a pile.
Speaker 17 (39:40):
Of the faith bet anyone who wants to take it.
I am picking the Wolves to win the West go
to the finals. I'm a realistic Minnesota fan, so I
will even choose what pie choice someone would like to take.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Anybody want a piece of that that the Timberwolves do
not go to the NBA Finals, ye, Like, I'm fine
if they do. I don't want to root against them.
I'd like to see aunt man. We're fine with that. Alex,
good luck? Ryan? Oh No, Brian in Omaha. It's Brian
in Omaha.
Speaker 10 (40:11):
Brian, Hey Dan, first time, A long time five eleven
and a lovable two twenty. I'm here to clear up
the definition of procedure versus surgery for you. So I
am a veterinarian, and first of all, i'd love to
offer my veterinary services any of you guys, if you're
(40:33):
ever in Omaha, or if you just need a phone consultation,
you know, feel free to hit me up. But surgery
anything that involves cutting into or onto a body or
I guess animal er a person. A procedure is going
to be something more like a colonoscopy, an ultrasound, X rays,
(40:56):
blood work, you know, anything that if we if we
use your definition of going under as an actual surgery,
then colonoscopy is technically a surgery. So hutting is going
to be your defining factor of a surgery.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Well, and thank you, DONC. But I did my colonoscopy.
I didn't go under. I wanted to have a conversation
with everybody. That's how tough I am. I had a
sports hernia and colonoscopy same day. By the way, just
flip me over. Yeah, Paul, you.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Didn't get on the table you did in the lobby.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Not very satitary to do it.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
That are coming up
