Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hour on this Friday. It's a Meet Friday. We're down
to dan Ette Paully off for the weekend. Covered a
lot of ground, talked about the Eagles over the Commanders. Also,
we talked to the reporter who was on the stage
for the Slap with Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, Ariel Hellwani,
and we'll talk to Brian Windhorst to the Mothership coming
up here in a moment. Stat of the Day brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
(00:27):
the Dan Patrick Show. The new calendars. That's new, not nude,
although there's some skin shown in these calendars, especially by
Fritzie in the month of May twenty twenty five. Calendars
available dan Patrick dot com. It is Big ten Saturday Night,
Number one Oregon against Wisconsin Saturday on NBC and Peacock.
Here comes Saturday Night and you can watch this program
(00:48):
on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app. We say
good morning to our radio affiliates, Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio
as well, Bengals Chargers. Over the weekend, Chiefs, Bills, Ravenstons,
a lot of great matchups here. You got Seahawks, Niners,
sneaky Gray Texans, Cowboys still interesting as well, and we'll
run down the college football weekend as well. He's Brian Windhorst, ESPN,
(01:12):
NBA writer analyst, host of The Hoop Collective podcast, and
he'll be on NBA Countdown tonight. You have the Lakers
and Spurs seven thirty eastern, then Memphis Grizzlies Golden State
Warriors at ten eastern. Wendy, I mentioned your report. It
wasn't a report, felt like an opinion on Browning, but
(01:33):
you know how it works. You say something, then all
of a sudden, people make it a report. And it
felt like Bronnie was maybe being a diva the way
it was presented that he's not flying, not getting on
an airplane. So I wanted to be fair because I
was critical of the report or your opinion, I should say, so,
I wanted to have you on just so we can
(01:54):
maybe better understand what is it that Bronni is doing
in the G League and what happens when and his
team is on the road.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, I know we're in this era where you can
go on as you know, Dan, you can say something
for you know three minutes, you know, two minutes, and
then one paragraph gets pulled out and it's like you.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Lose all the context. That's reality. What I said, and
I'll say again, was that I.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Am totally on board with the whole Bronnie James thing
with the Lakers. I think it was a smart move
to draft him. I think it was a great move
to bring him around the team because the fifty fifth
pick in the draft hits a single digital percentage of
the time, and if the Lakers can use the fifty
to fifth pick on Bronnie James and get a more
(02:38):
engaged Lebron this year, don't I don't care. If it's
a single digit percentage more engaged Lebron, it's a good investment.
And so I've been totally on board with it. And also,
it is not unusual for NBA roster players, and Bronnie
is an NBA roster player. He's not a two way player.
This is a little bit of splitting of hairs, especially
if you're a casual NBA fan, you don't really care
(02:58):
that much about it. But there's a difference between a
two way contract where you're basically signed to spend a
lot of your time, if not most of your time
in the G League, and you don't even get paid
a full NBA salary versus being a roster player, where
you get a full NBA salary. No matter what, which
Bronni is a full roster player, it is not unusual
for full roster players to go down and only play
(03:21):
home games for their teams, especially when their teams are
so close to the parent club, which in a lot
of cases is either in the city or within a
very short drive. So in and of itself, it is
not special treatment, which is what it sounded like if
you only read the tweet, it sounded like that that's
not what I was saying. What I was saying was
(03:41):
I think it would be better for Bronnie to go
spend a bunch of time in the G League, and
that this is the first thing, in my opinion that
it is a misstep with Bronnie.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
And not only that.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The South Bay Lakers, the Lakers G League team which
plays Sandels right now, they just play, you know, fifteen
miles from Crypto. They have a great history of producing
guys who go play with them. They actually have a
great development history. We're talking about like Alex Caruso, Taylor, Horton, Tucker,
(04:18):
Austin Reeves, a Scottie Pippen Junr who's playing huge minutes
right now for the Memphis Grizzlies, was a guy who
spent a bunch of time with the South Bay Lakers.
Jay Huff also playing with the Grizzlies. And so I
was just offering an opinion that Bronnie should go play
there and that that should be what happened. I know,
(04:39):
you take out one paragraph of what I just said,
and I said, you know, I don't know if they
don't want him to get on an airline, if that's
an issue. And also, here's something else I never said,
Nor is it true that this was being asked for
by Bronnie James or lebron James. This is the Lakers
organizational decision. And I never said differently. But again, if
(05:00):
you only hear a.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Paragraph, he only read a paragraph. And I understand that.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Social media in a lot of ways programs are world
but that's what I said, then, that's what I.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Say now, and I don't change my opinion on that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, that's why I wanted to have you on because
I wanted context here, because it felt like Oh, Bronnie
is being a diva. He's not going to get on
a United Airlines flight and play on the road. And
I agree with you. He needs to play basketball games.
He needs to have a full schedule, so he's he's
ready to come up, you know, because I guess is
it going to be strategic depending on TV games like Christmas?
(05:36):
Is he coming up? Do you have any idea what
the Lakers are going to how they're going to use
Bronnie in these situations.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
No, and I'm not sure they do either. I mean
a lot of it comes down, you know, he's not
a rotation player. He's not a guy who's going to
figure into what JJ Redick is doing on a night
to night basis. The games that he has played have
either been when Lakers have gotten blown out and he's
on the active roster and they just give a basically
garbage time or special moments like when he played in Cleveland.
(06:06):
That game ended up being lopsided, but I think they
were going to try to get him in that game,
and then I was an Opening night he would He's.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Not a roster player, so their plans for.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Him are not to be a roster player, are not
to be a rotation player unless he earns that. And
the way he's going to earn that is not by
playing in garbage minutes. He's going to earn that, in
my opinion, by going and playing in the G League.
And I don't regret saying that, and I do stand
by that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You've been around Lebron for a long long time. At
any point did you all stop being amazed by what
Lebron does? No?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And I also think that while this week for the
last couple of days has been sort of focused on,
you know, aggregation response on Bronnie, I think we're missing
the fact that Lebron is playing incredible basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
This is crazy, Brian, I mean, it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Is so like, let's just be honest about where Lebron is.
His explosion is not where it used to be. He
can't get by defenders like he did in his prime years,
and he has morphed that reality, Dan by developing into
(07:20):
somehow a very good three point shooter. Last year he
shot over forty percent on threes. I think he had
done that one other time in his career when he
was with the Heat, and it was like back when
he would take two or three threes a game. It
was not like today where guys take six to seven eight.
He hadn't shot over he hadn't shot that well in
a decade. And then last year he all of a
sudden started shooting well from three. And this year and
(07:42):
I realized, we're, I think eleven or twelve games in
for the Lakers, he's shooting forty six percent on threes. Now,
maybe that won't quite stay that high, maybe he'll come
back down. But if you watch his shot, it looks terrific.
And so he's mitigating that he can't maybe be as
explosive getting to the basket by just being a much
better outside shooter. You know, it's it's kind of like
(08:04):
Jordan later in his career. Jordan developed all that great
footwork and that turnaround shot in the mid range. Lebron
is developing this three point shot in his late thirties.
I mean there were years Dan where he was in
the low thirties. I mean, obviously on three pointers, it
was the game plan, make Lebron shoe threes. Right now,
making Lebron shoe threes is a losing enterprise. The other
(08:25):
thing is he's averaging nine assists a game. You know,
you may remember that about four or five years ago,
he led the league in assists. He was a Lakers
point guard, and he actually led the league in scoring,
led the league in assists like something like twelve or
thirteen years apart. It's one of the great Lebron stats
that you just hear and just you can't believe.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's so wild.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
But in the last few years, you know, Lakers have
had other guards and he has he's sort of had
the ball less in his hands. Well, this year with
JJ Reddick, they've put the ball in his hands more,
and the guy's averaging nine assists a game. He's averaging eighty.
He is averaging twenty something points on forty something forty
six percent. I've had three point shooting, nine assists and
eight rebounds. He's had three consecutive triple doubles. Like to me,
(09:07):
Lebron's performance right now is honestly one of the stories
of the NBA. And the Lakers are in pretty good
position despite having a pre disastrous five game road trip
because Lebron, I mean, Ad has been excellent two but
because Lebron has been frankly carrying their offense in recent games.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I mentioned this might have been Monday or Tuesday where
I said, you know, enjoy this moment with Durant, Curry
and Lebron. And I said this during the Olympics in
that final game, those three on the floor, and I
was trying to think of another time in NBA history
where you had these three. They've all changed the game,
all three of these players. Certainly Steph and Lebron have
(09:47):
KD with what he's done at his size. But I
don't know, do you go back to Magic and Larry
and Michael. Is there another like trilogy that you could
look at that those three guys at the same time
and what they meant to the NBA.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So I know this is an extremely unpopular position to take,
and I can't really defend it. In nineteen ninety two,
I was in eighth grade. I was with the Olympic team.
This year, I was with them in Abu Dhabi. I
was with them in London, I was with them in
in Lele, I was with them in Paris. I don't
think there's ever been anything like that. I know that
(10:26):
it's like the third rail to ever talk about the
Dream Team, And it's an impossible comparison because the world
where it was in AWE now they try to. You know,
it's not a comparable. It's almost a different sport. Larry
Bird was on his he was soon to retire. Magic
had already retired, okay, and had come back because of
(10:49):
the terrible thing with the HIV. Wasn't like he was
past his prime, but he had already retired and come back.
Jordan was absolutely, you know, at.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
The peak of his powers.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
But and I just will tell you, like being an
Abu Dhabi, seeing the way those fans printed those players.
You know, there was this game in London against the
South Sudan Dan South Sudan exhibition game. Okay, I'm not
going to sit here and tell you that this was
a huge thing on the calendar. The US was in
danger of losing. There was twenty thousand fans at O
(11:17):
two Arena in London. There's never been a basketball crowd
like that, frankly in Europe, certainly in London. And Lebron
like scored the last ten points of the game and
the entire arena had goosebumps. Lebron was totally into it.
There's no way you attended that moment and not have
a lifetime memory of watching And I know it was
a South Udan. I understand. I'm not arguing that, you know,
(11:40):
it was like going up against the eighty six Celtics,
but there's no way that moment isn't relevant to all
those people who took it in in Lelle, where there's
thirty thousand fans there.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
They played it in a.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Soccer stadium that didn't even have air conditioning, a pump
in air conditioning. Kevin Durant makes goes eight of nine
against Serbia in the opening game. Durant has never been
like more amped up because he had just come back
from this cafe injury. Wasn't sure as we all play
like Durant's having this moment in front of thirty thousand people.
Steph Curry with those three pointers in Paris Saturday night,
(12:13):
last Saturday night the Olympics, you know, that is a moment.
I'm sorry that if you were a part of you're
not gonna forget. So these guys at this age delivering
these moments, and that's just a summer you know. I
mean I was started calling them the first ballot trio,
you know, because they're just sort of in a class
by themselves. Obviously, there's a lot of people get it
(12:33):
on the first ballot. It's not like it is necessarily
in baseball, But I'm sorry. This is a moment And
like being an opportunity to be a part and be
around that Olympic team was one of the great privileges
of my now twenty three year career covering the.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
NBA was amazing and like that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Like people were on Steve Kurr's backside because of his
decisions he was making with the tenth eleventh man, and
I was like, are you paying the same thing I
was talking about with Ron and Lebron? What about the
amazing thing that's happening with these other guys, Like I
was not. I was overseas d and so I didn't
have a feel of what people were saying back here.
But like we're people understanding the incredible moments that are happening.
(13:14):
It's like, I just think that this is what we
should be celebrating in the NBA. We should be celebrating
Like tonight is an ESPN game, Victor wen Beyam against
Lebron James. Lebron is playing this incredible Victor is coming
off a fifty point game. I understand that we are
in the NFL season and we've got big college football tomorrow.
This is the potentially a terrific game, and I'm not
(13:35):
trying to sell it, And I just think that we
don't pay enough attention to that. We pay more attention
to stuff that gets tweeted, you know, gets aggregated out
of a podcast about whether a guy's going to play
in the G League, instead of talking about, oh my god,
when Miyam is going up against Lebron tonight, Like sorry
if that makes me, I could sound like an old man.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, it's load management. It's too many three and this
is this is what we seem to be focused on.
And I just remind the audience that this doesn't happen.
I mean, this is this is an incredible moment to
watch players play this well at this age and do
it on a consistent basis. And you know, I it's
(14:19):
not lost on me because I was trying to search
through history to is there anything that's comparable to that?
And there probably isn't. But I know you're busy. I
appreciate you coming on and clarifying that as always. Now,
when you go in to the arena tonight, does Lebron
say anything to you?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Well, the game is in San Antonio and I'm going
to be in La R Studios tonight, but I will.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Say at work when you see him that you.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Know, it was tremendous to be with these guys this summer.
One of the amazing things that happened this summer was
that just to take you behind the scenes a little bit.
Because ESPN doesn't have Olympic rights, as you well know,
we can't do individual interviews with them on Olympic property.
(15:09):
I can't do an interview for Sports Center with Lebron
or Kevin Durant or Steph Curry in the arena, so.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
We have to do it elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So USA Basketball being extremely welcoming allows ESPN to come
to be with the players off the away from the arena.
And what was so special about being able to do that.
And by the way, this also held true for.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
The women's team because the women's team.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Was there, and I'm telling you it was so enjoyable
to cover the women that the master at which they
play the game is incredible, the way.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
They share the ball.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I so enjoyed it. I defy you to watch Breonna
Stewart play basketball and tell me you don't appreciate it,
and you wouldn't want your children to play like her
and Asia Wilson's master of the game. But I don't
because I don't want to short change them because it
was with them too. I did this for them too,
to be around the players and their families. I'm telling
you that night after they beat Serbia, when they came back.
(16:08):
I've been with all of these guys. I've been with
Lebron when he's won championships. I've been with Durant when
he's won championships. I've been with Steph when he's won championships.
I'm not saying was exactly the same, but the euphoria
that they were with their families, you know, I don't
think that people. I think with Timsa especially, it's just
(16:28):
seen as a given and the only time they get
attention is when they struggle. I'm telling you those days
after and being with them and their families after they
won the gold medal. It was very late in Paris
and Macron had come to the game, and so there
was this big traffic jam to get.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Out of the arena.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Long story short, it was like one or two in
the morning. There's a thousand people on the street. Steph
is walking up and down the street with the cigar,
you know, celebrating with the American fans who came. Lebron
and his family are there and like, you know, you know,
I've been there when they've had these moments, and like
for you know, one of the things that happened. I'm sorry,
I'm rambling. I'm probably pushing you past your break. Let
(17:06):
me just tell you, like one thing I'll never forget
when because of the Olympics and all the security, the
players can't be with their families after the game. It's
not like an NBA game where they can come back down.
So they've won the gold medal. It's amazing, it's a
historic moment for everybody there. It is now one in
the morning. At this hotel in Paris, they lined up
all of the children, all of the player's children. Some
of their players children are in their teens and in
(17:27):
the NBA, some of the players' children are toddlers, and
they lined up all of their children so that when
the players came off of the bus into the hotel,
that they first thing that they saw with the gold
medals around their neck were their kids. And so to
see all of them be able to scoop up their
children and celebrate in this moment. I mean, it's all
you know.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
They had cameras there, you can go see it. It exists.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
It is one of the most purest, truest moments that
I've seen of celebration, despite having been in many championship
locker rooms over my career.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
So I'm sorry I rambled there.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It was a wonderful thing. I've seen Lebron in many,
many wonderful moments with his family over the years. This
was just another wonderful one. I'm not going to rank them, but.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
They was there. Great to talk to. You have a
good WEEKND have you too. Thank you, Brian. It's Brian Windhorst,
ESPNNBA writer and analyst and they have a doubleheader Lakers
Spurs in San Antonio than Memphis against Golden State. NBA
Countdown tonight and covered starts at seven thirty. Take a break,

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Big ten Saturday Night Number one Oregon versus Wisconsin Saturday
Night on NBC and Peacock Here comes Saturday Night. Got
more phone calls in here Austin in Pennsylvania. Hi, Austin,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Here you go?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Heay playing on the Jake Paul fight. Okay, thank you?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Hear me? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I got you? Okright?
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Sorry? Also, Todd, you're the man, dude, You're funny, thanks, ma'am.
But I wanted to weigh in and Jake Paul he's
just salt. He's not a killer. Y'all know watching Mike
Tyson in his prime.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
That's the killer right there.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
My dad with a professional boxer.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I grew up Boxton, he's salt, man.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
You gave me three months to get in fight and shape.
I would mop the floor with Jake Paul and not
do it for free, just so everybody knows how falt
he is.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
All right, Thank you, Austin. Just in case Jake Paul
needs an opponent after this Austin in Pennsylvania fight at
the Century is what I'm hearing. Could it could be?
It would be awesome.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Though, if randomly a dude named Austin in Pennsylvania just
beat the crap out.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Of him, I was like, all right. David in Ohio, Hi, David,
what do you have for me today?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Dan, A happy meat Friday. I got two comments. One
on the Jake Paul Mike Tyso fight if you've ever
seen have you ever seen the Hangover? I think Jake
Paul for rude awakening after what he did to Zach
Galafanakis in the movie. Second. Uh, for your Cowboys fan listeners,
(20:09):
I think it's up great that something exciting is happening
in at and T Stadium.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Uh, all right, there's gonna be some fight in the building. Yeah,
all right. Let's make our predictions here, all right, make
our predictions on what's going to happen tonight. Put it
off long enough, Todd. I'll start with you. What happens tonight,
Mike Tyson, Jakepaw.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
I'm probably going with my heart instead of my head.
But Mike Tyson, Ko's Paul in the fourth round is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What I'm going Okay, seat no counter.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I think Mike goes down. I do it pains me
to say that because I really want him to win.
But I think Mike gets knocked out or well or
Tko maybe.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Okay, Marvin, mind telling me no, But my heart says yes,
Mike Tyson is gonna win. Oh, all right, knockout. Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I'm gonna say, Jake paul By decision, that's weak. No,
not your prediction. Oh if that was to happen.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Sorry, okay, sorry, not your prediction.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Your prediction wasn't weak.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
I was like, wait, if that happened, that would be weak.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Just give him my opinion. Yeah. Time for the most
must win game of the week. Uh, Todd, I'll start
with you. Thank you for the music.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
This one hits close to home. After getting embarrassed in
Baltimore and blowing it in the final moments in Kansas City,
I'm gonna say my Broncos have a must win at
home against the Falcons. If they lose, they fall to
five and six after being five and three, and I
don't think there's any coming back for any playoff.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Hoping so Falcons are actually favored. No, Falcons are getting
to Falcons are getting to.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
They don't win that game at home and go to
five and six, there have no shot the.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Players seat O'Connor. Most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Most must win for me is the forty nine Ers
versus Seattle. They're hosting Seattle.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
I don't think their road to the playoffs is gonna
get necessarily any easier. It doesn't look like they'll win
out if you look at their schedule. They are after Seattle,
They're at Green Bay at Buffalo home versus Chicago home
with the Rams, then at Miami home against Detroit, and
then at Arizona. They need to win the ones that
they need to win.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
Marvin the Georgia Bulldogs. If they lose, I think they're out.
It's going to be really tough to get a three
loss SEC team into the playoffs. They gotta win this one.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
They're gonna be SEC apologists who are going to try
to still somehow find a way for Georgia to be
in the POSH. They lost to I know, them against
Boise State straight up neutral field. Who wins? I know,
That's just not the way it works. My most must
win game of the weekend is going to surprise you.
It's the Rams against the Paige Treots in New England because,
(23:03):
and maybe I'm reading too much into this, this could
lead to bigger picture offseason if they don't win these
games and then you have the Eagles come into town
the following week. Now, I think there's one other game
that the Steelers against the Ravens. It feels like one
(23:24):
of those must win situations for the Ravens if they
want to prove that, Okay, we have the blueprint, we
are the best team in the AFC. We may not
have the best record, but we can beat anybody in
the AFC. I want to see what you're going to
do against the Steeler team that's playing really well and
(23:44):
the Ravens are favored by three, yes, martin.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
A new game. Most must win perception wise are the
Bills at the top of that list playing against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
They've beaten the Chiefs during the regular season, I think
what three of the last four times they're one of
those teams. Let me see what you do against them
in the postseason. The Chiefs without Harrison Butker, and I
mentioned this earlier, it almost feels like Patrick Mahomes is
now going to be in certain situations four down territory
(24:17):
because they're not going to be able to rely on Butcker,
who was maybe the best kicker in football right now,
and now you give Mahomes four downs to keep a
drive alive as opposed to kicking a field goal. What
about the worst game to watch this weekend in the NFL?
The worst game to watch, Todd.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
The two and seven Browns against the three and seven Saints.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's my worst game, Seaton. Do you have a worst
game of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
I'm gonna say it is the uh let's say two
and seven Raiders at the three and six Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
See that, and that to me, I'm interested in the Dolphins.
I'm interested in the Dolphins.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
There, Marvin, I'm going with Vikings Titans, just because the
Titans the most irrelevant team in the NFL, and that's
not even them and the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Vikings minus six against the Titans, Todd, I'm with you,
the Browns and the Saints. The Browns are favored by one.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
No good storylines or anything about that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Nothing, nothing there, nothing at all, nothing at all. You know,
we've been talking about Bronnie James a little bit so
since nineteen sixty six, the fifty fifth player selected overall.
These are some of the names, just to let you
know of how good those picks have been. Patty Mills
(25:53):
respectable career, very good Olympian for Australia. Yeah, he had
a good career. Yes, absolutely, he's A sharp shooter is
what he is. He averaged eight point eight points per game.
A twe more the pride to Purdue. He was taken
in twenty eleven. He averaged eight points per game. Ryan
(26:17):
Bowen nineteen ninety eight. He played like ten seasons or something.
Kenny Gattison nineteen eighty six. Mark Ivorni wasn't Ivorni the
guy who was guarding Doctor J when Doctor J went
(26:38):
with the swooping underneath? Although Ivorni played for Philadelphia, did
he play for the Lakers as well?
Speaker 8 (26:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Now? Okay? But when Doc takes off from one side
and swoops underneath the hoop? Is he going against Mark Ivoroni?
Or am I thinking of another six ' nine white guy?
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Six?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Check?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
All right? And then Jeremy Evans in twenty ten was
taking fifty fifth overall slam dunk champ. Yeah? Oh okay,
I don't of course.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
I need to get a life.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah. Uh so is it Mark I Voroni that Doctor
J did that?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
I don't think that was him? No, he was a
guy number fifty four. I'm trying to Oberding?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Was his name? Mark Oberding?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yup? Okay, I got to get a life too.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
Pole question who needs to get a life more? Dan
Patrick of Marvin Prince.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Well, you're young enough, you can still get a life.
This is kind of my life, but I don't want to.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I watch all episodes of Inside Stuff or the NBA
Stay in School special, like oh, here's my rashot with
TV's Julia White.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I'm I'm flipping around trying to find games last night
and I was I was like, I, you know, maybe
there's something, you know, because I watched the football but
then you know, I put that on my tablet and
then I like to watch another game. And I'm trying
to find something anything that's really interesting, and I'll do
(28:05):
that tonight as well. Also, here's something for you. This
is just to think about. I don't know if anything happens,
but last week the NCUBLEA put USC on probation one
year for on and off field coaching by non coaching
analyst on staff. That's in quotation marks. So Lincoln Riley
(28:30):
is the head coach. He's got a massive buyout. They
he hasn't lived up to expectations. So the school USC
agreed with the nc DOUBLEA that the coach violated quote
head coach responsibility rules. Could this mean USC, if they
wanted to, could fire Lincoln Riley with cause and not
(28:54):
have to pay off tens of millions of dollars. Hmm,
just something there. Also us He's president's retiring at the
end of the school year, so a new president is
coming in, first year athletic director and the chance to
bring in their coach. I just put it out there
(29:18):
because well it should be out there with the NC
double A and one year probation on an off field
coaching and the fact that USC agreed with the NC
DOUBLEA that Lincoln Riley violated head coach responsibility rules. Not
even fighting it, but can you fire him for a
(29:41):
cause and not have to pay that buyout?
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Mark, maybe he should have went to Chicago with Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, yeah, Well that certainly died down. There was a
report that had Lincoln Riley and Ryan Day at Ohio
State as far as NFL possibilities that they have cert
cooled off because Lincoln Riley was when he was at Oklahoma.
I remember having him on. We talked about coaching the
(30:07):
Cowboys like he was a hot commodity there. You get
these coaches and it feels like here they are, and
there they go, and then you go, didn't that guy?
Wasn't he one of the you know coaches who's up
for other jobs here head coaching jobs there? Hey, Lincoln Riley,
Caleb Williams package deal with Chicago, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
College coaches like pop stars like this is the hot
one of the moment right here. Yeah, this dua Lipa? Hey,
but now, Sabrina Carpenter, what.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Dua lipa is still a big deal?
Speaker 9 (30:40):
But she's not. He's not, Sabrina, right, She's hotter than
fish Grease right now, Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, yes, yes, time.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Fish Grease gets very hot at times.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Do you even know who we're talking about?
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I do know, Sabrina Carpenters. I know Olivia Rodrigo, I
know a taite.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And all Billie Eilish, Yeah you're you're like Billie Ilish is.
I was in on Billy Iish early and Lybo Rodriguez,
Sabrina Carpenter, I was on what's there her song? Espresso?
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Or is that it think about me?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Sound?
Speaker 8 (31:12):
Good for you? Olivia Rodrigo? Good for you is a good.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Song, Oh good for you?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Good for you?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
All right, let me take a break Man, those ribs
smell good. Oh, that's so sad that Paulie's missing the
ribs here for meat Friday. So we have that. We
have the bourbon baked beans and corn bread as well.
We're gonna take a break, we'll go out. We're gonna
have to sample all the food. If you're watching on Peacock,
you can enjoy it with us by proxy. All right,
(31:42):
take a break back after this.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
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 wap.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Alright, last call for phone calls. What we learn? What's
in store tomorrow? Man, those are good. I gotta wait
fifteen minutes to have a beer. Go along with him,
Todd uh Todd said, if you can see the color
red on my plate, I didn't do my job, So
the plates are red. He was trying to cover up
(32:15):
the entire plate.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
Yeah, among the beans and the ribs and the corn bread.
If you put enough on there, you should see very
very little of the plate color.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But you can go back for seconds.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
That's true. I just do something about buffets and just
being able to pile food on I just I enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I don't tell you who's stolen this day in sports history, Marvin.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Is, that would be me.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Okay, all right, when do you have forests today?
Speaker 9 (32:37):
All right? So today? In nineteen eighth three got a couple.
Mike Bossey the New York Islanders got his seventy fifth
career hat trick, and that's pretty good. In nineteen ninety two,
Richard Petty drove in the final race of his thirty
five year career, and in nineteen ninety eight, EMITTT. Smith
moved into third place on the all time touchdown list
when he got his one hundred and twenty seventh TD.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Okay, on this day, one of the great coaches in
sports history, Paul Brown, he had a win, calling it
the greatest victory of his career. This happened. I did
not know this. I might have been at this game.
(33:19):
Paul Brown leads the expansion Bengals to a win over
his former team, the Cleveland Browns, and Paul Brown calls
the moment his greatest victory.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Yes, Marvin, was Paul Brown forced out of Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I remember they brought in Blanton call Year as the
next head coach. But I don't I think it was
the opportunity to have his own team, maybe the Brown
family taking over an expansion team, the Cincinnati Bengals. On
this date, nineteen fifty two, an NBA record, thirteen players
fouled out in an overtime game between the Bullets and Syracuse.
(33:56):
Also nineteen sixty, Elgin Baylor scored seventy one points. The
Lakers win over the next Oh here's one. Twenty fourteen,
Melvin Gordon rushed for four hundred and eight yards. He
sat out the final quarter of Wisconsin's went over Nebraska.
Melvin Gordon. Yeah, he was a thing there for a while. Yeah,
(34:19):
he was. Let me see anything else in here. On
this day, two thousand and six, this athlete was named
the winner of Dancing with the Stars. Jerry right, No,
am it Smith.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
Right?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Forgot about Emmett? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Tony and Iowa? Hi, Tony, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (34:48):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (34:48):
Dan and eighty. First off, just want to say thank
you for the show. I'm a hostice counselor here in
Iowa and the job can be heavy at times. You
guys provide some fun and some laughter for me in
my morning, So thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
You're welcome.
Speaker 11 (35:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (35:11):
Second of all, I just want to say, how's the
trip to Iowa coming along, the preparations for that, and
see if anyone has signed up for the Ragbriy bike
race yet.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
No, we're not going to do the bicycle ride. But
we're still in the planning stages, developmental stages, research and
development for our trip to Iowa sometime next year. So
we have Lambeau, we're going to go to for the
drafts at the draft, we got the Super Bowl in
New Wallings, and then we're going to take a spin
around Iowa at some point, I think five days, five cities,
(35:43):
maybe five families hosting us for dinner, and maybe we
stay at your house. I mean it's all on the table, yes,
I mean, once we get after it with some beers,
I mean, no one can drive. Yeah, Sally's going to say,
why don't you guys just stay here. We've got plenty
of rooms, right.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Han coming out with the towels folded here, Yeah, here
you go.
Speaker 10 (36:08):
Soap in there, got fresh linens.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't know, once she sees Todd, she'll be like, well,
I don't know, we can always take you back to
your hotel. Tracy and Iowa. Hi, Tracy, Hi Dan, Hi Tracey.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
My name is Tracy rose Boom and I just went
in to invite you to our farm in Iowa.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Where is your farm located, Tracy, Well.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
We're in the northwest corner actually from South Center, Iowa, Okay.
And it's my husband's family farm. And his brother, Christian
rose Boom is a linebacker for Rams.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh. Okay, Well, I.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Put the farm that he grew up on. So if
you're doing I don't know a football theme, you're welcome
to come on over. I didn't drop that to get
the phone call. I didn't drop it.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Okay, I'm Tracey. She's starting to scare me away now.
Probably put us to work on the farm. You imagine
Todd milk and a cow. This is suit Center?
Speaker 10 (37:12):
Why not calling up next on suit Center? Orange County
is a mess. But what's happening in Rock Valley?
Speaker 9 (37:23):
You got one?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
No, no, no, he does not. What's happening I know
Todd is Todd has been the entire morning. He has
been entertaining us with his Donald Trump impersonation. But it's
the face and the hands because the voice is just
kind of your voice.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
And it's only good for TV. Maybe certainly not radio
or any of that. Yeah, facial expressions, hands expressions.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Where somebody's watching on peacock right now. Then you give
me a little sample of what you've been you've been
entertaining the masses this morning.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
There's some very big games if you like football, and
if you don't like football, give it a shot. You
got the Bills and the Chiefs in Buffalo. Everybody loves that.
Got the Bills, chief that's big. Ravens Steelers, that's big.
The Broncos aren't going to make the playoffs if they
don't beat Kirk Cousins of the fact that everybody knows
that you got Georgia and South and you've got South
Carolina Missouri.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, that's what we've been treated to. That's the entertainment.
Just referring to Yes, that's the thank you for the
person working at the hospice.
Speaker 7 (38:19):
It's funny how the content changes when it's like, hey, Todd,
but you can't curse.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Oh that case, yeah, but Todd all we have to
keep a PG. Oh okay, yeah, you were doing your
scoreboard and you're cursing, and I go, no, no, we're
not doing that.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
We get a little loose.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Whenever you put on a microphone, always assume the microphone
is on.
Speaker 8 (38:39):
That's very wise. A lot of people have been gotten
themselves in trouble with that.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Thank you, Tom Scott and Oregon Scott shot Todd shut up.
Speaker 11 (38:52):
So I'm here with my son Miles. He's seven, he's
I'm sick. He's a big fan of the show, and
we wanted to call and tell you that we're in.
I'm a transplant, but he was born here. He's a
huge Dutch fan, and we went to our first game
in augstin on Saturday against Maryland. My brother came up
and let me tell you, my brother and I have
been to a lot of sporting events, but the atmosphere
there is just insane. The crowd Metallica playing during timeouts,
(39:17):
every seat filled standing room only. The crowd knows when
to cheer and when not to. It was just brilliant,
I have to say. And I know there was some
talk of you guys coming to the Ohioste game this year,
so Miles and I wanted to call and say, next year,
you got to come to Austin for a game.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, I keep hearing about that. There's a few places
when I retire that I would like to just go
to just certain you know, stadiums I have not been to.
Let's go around the room. What we learned on the program? Tom?
What did you learn today? You filled in nicely for
Paulie and you I just learned that you just don't
want Mike Tyson knocked out on the campus by Jake
Paul as he looks for his mouthpiece.
Speaker 8 (39:53):
You don't want to see anything like that.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
I do not want to see that. Marvin. What did
you learn today?
Speaker 9 (39:57):
Austin and Pennsylvania? What's a piece of Jake Paul?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And he would wipe the floor with him. Seaton, what
did you learn today?
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Ariel Hawani says boxing is actually in great shape?
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
What did I learn?
Speaker 8 (40:07):
Devin mccordy says Saquon could arguably be the offensive player.
Speaker 2 (40:10):

Number one Oregon against Wisconsin Saturday on NBC and Peacock.
Here comes Saturday Night and you can watch this program
(00:48):
on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app. We say
good morning to our radio affiliates, Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio
as well, Bengals Chargers. Over the weekend, Chiefs, Bills, Ravenstons,
a lot of great matchups here. You got Seahawks, Niners,
sneaky Gray Texans, Cowboys still interesting as well, and we'll
run down the college football weekend as well. He's Brian Windhorst, ESPN,
(01:12):
NBA writer analyst, host of The Hoop Collective podcast, and
he'll be on NBA Countdown tonight. You have the Lakers
and Spurs seven thirty eastern, then Memphis Grizzlies Golden State
Warriors at ten eastern. Wendy, I mentioned your report. It
wasn't a report, felt like an opinion on Browning, but
(01:33):
you know how it works. You say something, then all
of a sudden, people make it a report. And it
felt like Bronnie was maybe being a diva the way
it was presented that he's not flying, not getting on
an airplane. So I wanted to be fair because I
was critical of the report or your opinion, I should say, so,
I wanted to have you on just so we can
(01:54):
maybe better understand what is it that Bronni is doing
in the G League and what happens when and his
team is on the road.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, I know we're in this era where you can
go on as you know, Dan, you can say something
for you know three minutes, you know, two minutes, and
then one paragraph gets pulled out and it's like you.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Lose all the context. That's reality. What I said, and
I'll say again, was that I.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Am totally on board with the whole Bronnie James thing
with the Lakers. I think it was a smart move
to draft him. I think it was a great move
to bring him around the team because the fifty fifth
pick in the draft hits a single digital percentage of
the time, and if the Lakers can use the fifty
to fifth pick on Bronnie James and get a more
(02:38):
engaged Lebron this year, don't I don't care. If it's
a single digit percentage more engaged Lebron, it's a good investment.
And so I've been totally on board with it. And also,
it is not unusual for NBA roster players, and Bronnie
is an NBA roster player. He's not a two way player.
This is a little bit of splitting of hairs, especially
if you're a casual NBA fan, you don't really care
(02:58):
that much about it. But there's a difference between a
two way contract where you're basically signed to spend a
lot of your time, if not most of your time
in the G League, and you don't even get paid
a full NBA salary versus being a roster player, where
you get a full NBA salary. No matter what, which
Bronni is a full roster player, it is not unusual
for full roster players to go down and only play
(03:21):
home games for their teams, especially when their teams are
so close to the parent club, which in a lot
of cases is either in the city or within a
very short drive. So in and of itself, it is
not special treatment, which is what it sounded like if
you only read the tweet, it sounded like that that's
not what I was saying. What I was saying was
(03:41):
I think it would be better for Bronnie to go
spend a bunch of time in the G League, and
that this is the first thing, in my opinion that
it is a misstep with Bronnie.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
And not only that.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The South Bay Lakers, the Lakers G League team which
plays Sandels right now, they just play, you know, fifteen
miles from Crypto. They have a great history of producing
guys who go play with them. They actually have a
great development history. We're talking about like Alex Caruso, Taylor, Horton, Tucker,
(04:18):
Austin Reeves, a Scottie Pippen Junr who's playing huge minutes
right now for the Memphis Grizzlies, was a guy who
spent a bunch of time with the South Bay Lakers.
Jay Huff also playing with the Grizzlies. And so I
was just offering an opinion that Bronnie should go play
there and that that should be what happened. I know,
(04:39):
you take out one paragraph of what I just said,
and I said, you know, I don't know if they
don't want him to get on an airline, if that's
an issue. And also, here's something else I never said,
Nor is it true that this was being asked for
by Bronnie James or lebron James. This is the Lakers
organizational decision. And I never said differently. But again, if
(05:00):
you only hear a.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Paragraph, he only read a paragraph. And I understand that.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Social media in a lot of ways programs are world
but that's what I said, then, that's what I.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Say now, and I don't change my opinion on that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, that's why I wanted to have you on because
I wanted context here, because it felt like Oh, Bronnie
is being a diva. He's not going to get on
a United Airlines flight and play on the road. And
I agree with you. He needs to play basketball games.
He needs to have a full schedule, so he's he's
ready to come up, you know, because I guess is
it going to be strategic depending on TV games like Christmas?
(05:36):
Is he coming up? Do you have any idea what
the Lakers are going to how they're going to use
Bronnie in these situations.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
No, and I'm not sure they do either. I mean
a lot of it comes down, you know, he's not
a rotation player. He's not a guy who's going to
figure into what JJ Redick is doing on a night
to night basis. The games that he has played have
either been when Lakers have gotten blown out and he's
on the active roster and they just give a basically
garbage time or special moments like when he played in Cleveland.
(06:06):
That game ended up being lopsided, but I think they
were going to try to get him in that game,
and then I was an Opening night he would He's.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Not a roster player, so their plans for.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Him are not to be a roster player, are not
to be a rotation player unless he earns that. And
the way he's going to earn that is not by
playing in garbage minutes. He's going to earn that, in
my opinion, by going and playing in the G League.
And I don't regret saying that, and I do stand
by that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You've been around Lebron for a long long time. At
any point did you all stop being amazed by what
Lebron does? No?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And I also think that while this week for the
last couple of days has been sort of focused on,
you know, aggregation response on Bronnie, I think we're missing
the fact that Lebron is playing incredible basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
This is crazy, Brian, I mean, it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Is so like, let's just be honest about where Lebron is.
His explosion is not where it used to be. He
can't get by defenders like he did in his prime years,
and he has morphed that reality, Dan by developing into
(07:20):
somehow a very good three point shooter. Last year he
shot over forty percent on threes. I think he had
done that one other time in his career when he
was with the Heat, and it was like back when
he would take two or three threes a game. It
was not like today where guys take six to seven eight.
He hadn't shot over he hadn't shot that well in
a decade. And then last year he all of a
sudden started shooting well from three. And this year and
(07:42):
I realized, we're, I think eleven or twelve games in
for the Lakers, he's shooting forty six percent on threes. Now,
maybe that won't quite stay that high, maybe he'll come
back down. But if you watch his shot, it looks terrific.
And so he's mitigating that he can't maybe be as
explosive getting to the basket by just being a much
better outside shooter. You know, it's it's kind of like
(08:04):
Jordan later in his career. Jordan developed all that great
footwork and that turnaround shot in the mid range. Lebron
is developing this three point shot in his late thirties.
I mean there were years Dan where he was in
the low thirties. I mean, obviously on three pointers, it
was the game plan, make Lebron shoe threes. Right now,
making Lebron shoe threes is a losing enterprise. The other
(08:25):
thing is he's averaging nine assists a game. You know,
you may remember that about four or five years ago,
he led the league in assists. He was a Lakers
point guard, and he actually led the league in scoring,
led the league in assists like something like twelve or
thirteen years apart. It's one of the great Lebron stats
that you just hear and just you can't believe.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's so wild.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
But in the last few years, you know, Lakers have
had other guards and he has he's sort of had
the ball less in his hands. Well, this year with
JJ Reddick, they've put the ball in his hands more,
and the guy's averaging nine assists a game. He's averaging eighty.
He is averaging twenty something points on forty something forty
six percent. I've had three point shooting, nine assists and
eight rebounds. He's had three consecutive triple doubles. Like to me,
(09:07):
Lebron's performance right now is honestly one of the stories
of the NBA. And the Lakers are in pretty good
position despite having a pre disastrous five game road trip
because Lebron, I mean, Ad has been excellent two but
because Lebron has been frankly carrying their offense in recent games.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I mentioned this might have been Monday or Tuesday where
I said, you know, enjoy this moment with Durant, Curry
and Lebron. And I said this during the Olympics in
that final game, those three on the floor, and I
was trying to think of another time in NBA history
where you had these three. They've all changed the game,
all three of these players. Certainly Steph and Lebron have
(09:47):
KD with what he's done at his size. But I
don't know, do you go back to Magic and Larry
and Michael. Is there another like trilogy that you could
look at that those three guys at the same time
and what they meant to the NBA.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So I know this is an extremely unpopular position to take,
and I can't really defend it. In nineteen ninety two,
I was in eighth grade. I was with the Olympic team.
This year, I was with them in Abu Dhabi. I
was with them in London, I was with them in
in Lele, I was with them in Paris. I don't
think there's ever been anything like that. I know that
(10:26):
it's like the third rail to ever talk about the
Dream Team, And it's an impossible comparison because the world
where it was in AWE now they try to. You know,
it's not a comparable. It's almost a different sport. Larry
Bird was on his he was soon to retire. Magic
had already retired, okay, and had come back because of
(10:49):
the terrible thing with the HIV. Wasn't like he was
past his prime, but he had already retired and come back.
Jordan was absolutely, you know, at.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
The peak of his powers.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
But and I just will tell you, like being an
Abu Dhabi, seeing the way those fans printed those players.
You know, there was this game in London against the
South Sudan Dan South Sudan exhibition game. Okay, I'm not
going to sit here and tell you that this was
a huge thing on the calendar. The US was in
danger of losing. There was twenty thousand fans at O
(11:17):
two Arena in London. There's never been a basketball crowd
like that, frankly in Europe, certainly in London. And Lebron
like scored the last ten points of the game and
the entire arena had goosebumps. Lebron was totally into it.
There's no way you attended that moment and not have
a lifetime memory of watching And I know it was
a South Udan. I understand. I'm not arguing that, you know,
(11:40):
it was like going up against the eighty six Celtics,
but there's no way that moment isn't relevant to all
those people who took it in in Lelle, where there's
thirty thousand fans there.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
They played it in a.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Soccer stadium that didn't even have air conditioning, a pump
in air conditioning. Kevin Durant makes goes eight of nine
against Serbia in the opening game. Durant has never been
like more amped up because he had just come back
from this cafe injury. Wasn't sure as we all play
like Durant's having this moment in front of thirty thousand people.
Steph Curry with those three pointers in Paris Saturday night,
(12:13):
last Saturday night the Olympics, you know, that is a moment.
I'm sorry that if you were a part of you're
not gonna forget. So these guys at this age delivering
these moments, and that's just a summer you know. I
mean I was started calling them the first ballot trio,
you know, because they're just sort of in a class
by themselves. Obviously, there's a lot of people get it
(12:33):
on the first ballot. It's not like it is necessarily
in baseball, But I'm sorry. This is a moment And
like being an opportunity to be a part and be
around that Olympic team was one of the great privileges
of my now twenty three year career covering the.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
NBA was amazing and like that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Like people were on Steve Kurr's backside because of his
decisions he was making with the tenth eleventh man, and
I was like, are you paying the same thing I
was talking about with Ron and Lebron? What about the
amazing thing that's happening with these other guys, Like I
was not. I was overseas d and so I didn't
have a feel of what people were saying back here.
But like we're people understanding the incredible moments that are happening.
(13:14):
It's like, I just think that this is what we
should be celebrating in the NBA. We should be celebrating
Like tonight is an ESPN game, Victor wen Beyam against
Lebron James. Lebron is playing this incredible Victor is coming
off a fifty point game. I understand that we are
in the NFL season and we've got big college football tomorrow.
This is the potentially a terrific game, and I'm not
(13:35):
trying to sell it, And I just think that we
don't pay enough attention to that. We pay more attention
to stuff that gets tweeted, you know, gets aggregated out
of a podcast about whether a guy's going to play
in the G League, instead of talking about, oh my god,
when Miyam is going up against Lebron tonight, Like sorry
if that makes me, I could sound like an old man.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, it's load management. It's too many three and this
is this is what we seem to be focused on.
And I just remind the audience that this doesn't happen.
I mean, this is this is an incredible moment to
watch players play this well at this age and do
it on a consistent basis. And you know, I it's
(14:19):
not lost on me because I was trying to search
through history to is there anything that's comparable to that?
And there probably isn't. But I know you're busy. I
appreciate you coming on and clarifying that as always. Now,
when you go in to the arena tonight, does Lebron
say anything to you?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Well, the game is in San Antonio and I'm going
to be in La R Studios tonight, but I will.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Say at work when you see him that you.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Know, it was tremendous to be with these guys this summer.
One of the amazing things that happened this summer was
that just to take you behind the scenes a little bit.
Because ESPN doesn't have Olympic rights, as you well know,
we can't do individual interviews with them on Olympic property.
(15:09):
I can't do an interview for Sports Center with Lebron
or Kevin Durant or Steph Curry in the arena, so.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
We have to do it elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So USA Basketball being extremely welcoming allows ESPN to come
to be with the players off the away from the arena.
And what was so special about being able to do that.
And by the way, this also held true for.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
The women's team because the women's team.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Was there, and I'm telling you it was so enjoyable
to cover the women that the master at which they
play the game is incredible, the way.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
They share the ball.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I so enjoyed it. I defy you to watch Breonna
Stewart play basketball and tell me you don't appreciate it,
and you wouldn't want your children to play like her
and Asia Wilson's master of the game. But I don't
because I don't want to short change them because it
was with them too. I did this for them too,
to be around the players and their families. I'm telling
you that night after they beat Serbia, when they came back.
(16:08):
I've been with all of these guys. I've been with
Lebron when he's won championships. I've been with Durant when
he's won championships. I've been with Steph when he's won championships.
I'm not saying was exactly the same, but the euphoria
that they were with their families, you know, I don't
think that people. I think with Timsa especially, it's just
(16:28):
seen as a given and the only time they get
attention is when they struggle. I'm telling you those days
after and being with them and their families after they
won the gold medal. It was very late in Paris
and Macron had come to the game, and so there
was this big traffic jam to get.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Out of the arena.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Long story short, it was like one or two in
the morning. There's a thousand people on the street. Steph
is walking up and down the street with the cigar,
you know, celebrating with the American fans who came. Lebron
and his family are there and like, you know, you know,
I've been there when they've had these moments, and like
for you know, one of the things that happened. I'm sorry,
I'm rambling. I'm probably pushing you past your break. Let
(17:06):
me just tell you, like one thing I'll never forget
when because of the Olympics and all the security, the
players can't be with their families after the game. It's
not like an NBA game where they can come back down.
So they've won the gold medal. It's amazing, it's a
historic moment for everybody there. It is now one in
the morning. At this hotel in Paris, they lined up
all of the children, all of the player's children. Some
of their players children are in their teens and in
(17:27):
the NBA, some of the players' children are toddlers, and
they lined up all of their children so that when
the players came off of the bus into the hotel,
that they first thing that they saw with the gold
medals around their neck were their kids. And so to
see all of them be able to scoop up their
children and celebrate in this moment. I mean, it's all
you know.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
They had cameras there, you can go see it. It exists.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
It is one of the most purest, truest moments that
I've seen of celebration, despite having been in many championship
locker rooms over my career.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
So I'm sorry I rambled there.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It was a wonderful thing. I've seen Lebron in many,
many wonderful moments with his family over the years. This
was just another wonderful one. I'm not going to rank them, but.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
They was there. Great to talk to. You have a
good WEEKND have you too. Thank you, Brian. It's Brian Windhorst,
ESPNNBA writer and analyst and they have a doubleheader Lakers
Spurs in San Antonio than Memphis against Golden State. NBA
Countdown tonight and covered starts at seven thirty. Take a break,
We're back after this.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Big ten Saturday Night Number one Oregon versus Wisconsin Saturday
Night on NBC and Peacock Here comes Saturday Night. Got
more phone calls in here Austin in Pennsylvania. Hi, Austin,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Here you go?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Heay playing on the Jake Paul fight. Okay, thank you?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Hear me? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I got you? Okright?
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Sorry? Also, Todd, you're the man, dude, You're funny, thanks, ma'am.
But I wanted to weigh in and Jake Paul he's
just salt. He's not a killer. Y'all know watching Mike
Tyson in his prime.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
That's the killer right there.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
My dad with a professional boxer.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I grew up Boxton, he's salt, man.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
You gave me three months to get in fight and shape.
I would mop the floor with Jake Paul and not
do it for free, just so everybody knows how falt
he is.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
All right, Thank you, Austin. Just in case Jake Paul
needs an opponent after this Austin in Pennsylvania fight at
the Century is what I'm hearing. Could it could be?
It would be awesome.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Though, if randomly a dude named Austin in Pennsylvania just
beat the crap out.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Of him, I was like, all right. David in Ohio, Hi, David,
what do you have for me today?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Dan, A happy meat Friday. I got two comments. One
on the Jake Paul Mike Tyso fight if you've ever
seen have you ever seen the Hangover? I think Jake
Paul for rude awakening after what he did to Zach
Galafanakis in the movie. Second. Uh, for your Cowboys fan listeners,
(20:09):
I think it's up great that something exciting is happening
in at and T Stadium.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Uh, all right, there's gonna be some fight in the building. Yeah,
all right. Let's make our predictions here, all right, make
our predictions on what's going to happen tonight. Put it
off long enough, Todd. I'll start with you. What happens tonight,
Mike Tyson, Jakepaw.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
I'm probably going with my heart instead of my head.
But Mike Tyson, Ko's Paul in the fourth round is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What I'm going Okay, seat no counter.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I think Mike goes down. I do it pains me
to say that because I really want him to win.
But I think Mike gets knocked out or well or
Tko maybe.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Okay, Marvin, mind telling me no, But my heart says yes,
Mike Tyson is gonna win. Oh, all right, knockout. Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I'm gonna say, Jake paul By decision, that's weak. No,
not your prediction. Oh if that was to happen.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Sorry, okay, sorry, not your prediction.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Your prediction wasn't weak.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
I was like, wait, if that happened, that would be weak.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Just give him my opinion. Yeah. Time for the most
must win game of the week. Uh, Todd, I'll start
with you. Thank you for the music.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
This one hits close to home. After getting embarrassed in
Baltimore and blowing it in the final moments in Kansas City,
I'm gonna say my Broncos have a must win at
home against the Falcons. If they lose, they fall to
five and six after being five and three, and I
don't think there's any coming back for any playoff.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Hoping so Falcons are actually favored. No, Falcons are getting
to Falcons are getting to.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
They don't win that game at home and go to
five and six, there have no shot the.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Players seat O'Connor. Most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Most must win for me is the forty nine Ers
versus Seattle. They're hosting Seattle.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
I don't think their road to the playoffs is gonna
get necessarily any easier. It doesn't look like they'll win
out if you look at their schedule. They are after Seattle,
They're at Green Bay at Buffalo home versus Chicago home
with the Rams, then at Miami home against Detroit, and
then at Arizona. They need to win the ones that
they need to win.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
Marvin the Georgia Bulldogs. If they lose, I think they're out.
It's going to be really tough to get a three
loss SEC team into the playoffs. They gotta win this one.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
They're gonna be SEC apologists who are going to try
to still somehow find a way for Georgia to be
in the POSH. They lost to I know, them against
Boise State straight up neutral field. Who wins? I know,
That's just not the way it works. My most must
win game of the weekend is going to surprise you.
It's the Rams against the Paige Treots in New England because,
(23:03):
and maybe I'm reading too much into this, this could
lead to bigger picture offseason if they don't win these
games and then you have the Eagles come into town
the following week. Now, I think there's one other game
that the Steelers against the Ravens. It feels like one
(23:24):
of those must win situations for the Ravens if they
want to prove that, Okay, we have the blueprint, we
are the best team in the AFC. We may not
have the best record, but we can beat anybody in
the AFC. I want to see what you're going to
do against the Steeler team that's playing really well and
(23:44):
the Ravens are favored by three, yes, martin.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
A new game. Most must win perception wise are the
Bills at the top of that list playing against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
They've beaten the Chiefs during the regular season, I think
what three of the last four times they're one of
those teams. Let me see what you do against them
in the postseason. The Chiefs without Harrison Butker, and I
mentioned this earlier, it almost feels like Patrick Mahomes is
now going to be in certain situations four down territory
(24:17):
because they're not going to be able to rely on Butcker,
who was maybe the best kicker in football right now,
and now you give Mahomes four downs to keep a
drive alive as opposed to kicking a field goal. What
about the worst game to watch this weekend in the NFL?
The worst game to watch, Todd.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
The two and seven Browns against the three and seven Saints.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's my worst game, Seaton. Do you have a worst
game of the weekend.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
I'm gonna say it is the uh let's say two
and seven Raiders at the three and six Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
See that, and that to me, I'm interested in the Dolphins.
I'm interested in the Dolphins.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
There, Marvin, I'm going with Vikings Titans, just because the
Titans the most irrelevant team in the NFL, and that's
not even them and the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Vikings minus six against the Titans, Todd, I'm with you,
the Browns and the Saints. The Browns are favored by one.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
No good storylines or anything about that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Nothing, nothing there, nothing at all, nothing at all. You know,
we've been talking about Bronnie James a little bit so
since nineteen sixty six, the fifty fifth player selected overall.
These are some of the names, just to let you
know of how good those picks have been. Patty Mills
(25:53):
respectable career, very good Olympian for Australia. Yeah, he had
a good career. Yes, absolutely, he's A sharp shooter is
what he is. He averaged eight point eight points per game.
A twe more the pride to Purdue. He was taken
in twenty eleven. He averaged eight points per game. Ryan
(26:17):
Bowen nineteen ninety eight. He played like ten seasons or something.
Kenny Gattison nineteen eighty six. Mark Ivorni wasn't Ivorni the
guy who was guarding Doctor J when Doctor J went
(26:38):
with the swooping underneath? Although Ivorni played for Philadelphia, did
he play for the Lakers as well?
Speaker 8 (26:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Now? Okay? But when Doc takes off from one side
and swoops underneath the hoop? Is he going against Mark Ivoroni?
Or am I thinking of another six ' nine white guy?
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Six?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Check?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
All right? And then Jeremy Evans in twenty ten was
taking fifty fifth overall slam dunk champ. Yeah? Oh okay,
I don't of course.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
I need to get a life.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah. Uh so is it Mark I Voroni that Doctor
J did that?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
I don't think that was him? No, he was a
guy number fifty four. I'm trying to Oberding?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Was his name? Mark Oberding?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yup? Okay, I got to get a life too.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
Pole question who needs to get a life more? Dan
Patrick of Marvin Prince.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Well, you're young enough, you can still get a life.
This is kind of my life, but I don't want to.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I watch all episodes of Inside Stuff or the NBA
Stay in School special, like oh, here's my rashot with
TV's Julia White.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I'm I'm flipping around trying to find games last night
and I was I was like, I, you know, maybe
there's something, you know, because I watched the football but
then you know, I put that on my tablet and
then I like to watch another game. And I'm trying
to find something anything that's really interesting, and I'll do
(28:05):
that tonight as well. Also, here's something for you. This
is just to think about. I don't know if anything happens,
but last week the NCUBLEA put USC on probation one
year for on and off field coaching by non coaching
analyst on staff. That's in quotation marks. So Lincoln Riley
(28:30):
is the head coach. He's got a massive buyout. They
he hasn't lived up to expectations. So the school USC
agreed with the nc DOUBLEA that the coach violated quote
head coach responsibility rules. Could this mean USC, if they
wanted to, could fire Lincoln Riley with cause and not
(28:54):
have to pay off tens of millions of dollars. Hmm,
just something there. Also us He's president's retiring at the
end of the school year, so a new president is
coming in, first year athletic director and the chance to
bring in their coach. I just put it out there
(29:18):
because well it should be out there with the NC
double A and one year probation on an off field
coaching and the fact that USC agreed with the NC
DOUBLEA that Lincoln Riley violated head coach responsibility rules. Not
even fighting it, but can you fire him for a
(29:41):
cause and not have to pay that buyout?
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Mark, maybe he should have went to Chicago with Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, yeah, Well that certainly died down. There was a
report that had Lincoln Riley and Ryan Day at Ohio
State as far as NFL possibilities that they have cert
cooled off because Lincoln Riley was when he was at Oklahoma.
I remember having him on. We talked about coaching the
(30:07):
Cowboys like he was a hot commodity there. You get
these coaches and it feels like here they are, and
there they go, and then you go, didn't that guy?
Wasn't he one of the you know coaches who's up
for other jobs here head coaching jobs there? Hey, Lincoln Riley,
Caleb Williams package deal with Chicago, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
College coaches like pop stars like this is the hot
one of the moment right here. Yeah, this dua Lipa? Hey,
but now, Sabrina Carpenter, what.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Dua lipa is still a big deal?
Speaker 9 (30:40):
But she's not. He's not, Sabrina, right, She's hotter than
fish Grease right now, Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, yes, yes, time.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Fish Grease gets very hot at times.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Do you even know who we're talking about?
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I do know, Sabrina Carpenters. I know Olivia Rodrigo, I
know a taite.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And all Billie Eilish, Yeah you're you're like Billie Ilish is.
I was in on Billy Iish early and Lybo Rodriguez,
Sabrina Carpenter, I was on what's there her song? Espresso?
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Or is that it think about me?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Sound?
Speaker 8 (31:12):
Good for you? Olivia Rodrigo? Good for you is a good.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Song, Oh good for you?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Good for you?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
All right, let me take a break Man, those ribs
smell good. Oh, that's so sad that Paulie's missing the
ribs here for meat Friday. So we have that. We
have the bourbon baked beans and corn bread as well.
We're gonna take a break, we'll go out. We're gonna
have to sample all the food. If you're watching on Peacock,
you can enjoy it with us by proxy. All right,
(31:42):
take a break back after this.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
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 wap.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Alright, last call for phone calls. What we learn? What's
in store tomorrow? Man, those are good. I gotta wait
fifteen minutes to have a beer. Go along with him,
Todd uh Todd said, if you can see the color
red on my plate, I didn't do my job, So
the plates are red. He was trying to cover up
(32:15):
the entire plate.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
Yeah, among the beans and the ribs and the corn bread.
If you put enough on there, you should see very
very little of the plate color.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
But you can go back for seconds.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
That's true. I just do something about buffets and just
being able to pile food on I just I enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I don't tell you who's stolen this day in sports history, Marvin.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Is, that would be me.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Okay, all right, when do you have forests today?
Speaker 9 (32:37):
All right? So today? In nineteen eighth three got a couple.
Mike Bossey the New York Islanders got his seventy fifth
career hat trick, and that's pretty good. In nineteen ninety two,
Richard Petty drove in the final race of his thirty
five year career, and in nineteen ninety eight, EMITTT. Smith
moved into third place on the all time touchdown list
when he got his one hundred and twenty seventh TD.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Okay, on this day, one of the great coaches in
sports history, Paul Brown, he had a win, calling it
the greatest victory of his career. This happened. I did
not know this. I might have been at this game.
(33:19):
Paul Brown leads the expansion Bengals to a win over
his former team, the Cleveland Browns, and Paul Brown calls
the moment his greatest victory.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Yes, Marvin, was Paul Brown forced out of Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I remember they brought in Blanton call Year as the
next head coach. But I don't I think it was
the opportunity to have his own team, maybe the Brown
family taking over an expansion team, the Cincinnati Bengals. On
this date, nineteen fifty two, an NBA record, thirteen players
fouled out in an overtime game between the Bullets and Syracuse.
(33:56):
Also nineteen sixty, Elgin Baylor scored seventy one points. The
Lakers win over the next Oh here's one. Twenty fourteen,
Melvin Gordon rushed for four hundred and eight yards. He
sat out the final quarter of Wisconsin's went over Nebraska.
Melvin Gordon. Yeah, he was a thing there for a while. Yeah,
(34:19):
he was. Let me see anything else in here. On

we're still in the planning stages, developmental stages, research and
development for our trip to Iowa sometime next year. So
we have Lambeau, we're going to go to for the
drafts at the draft, we got the Super Bowl in
New Wallings, and then we're going to take a spin
around Iowa at some point, I think five days, five cities,
(35:43):
maybe five families hosting us for dinner, and maybe we
stay at your house. I mean it's all on the table, yes,
I mean, once we get after it with some beers,
I mean, no one can drive. Yeah, Sally's going to say,
why don't you guys just stay here. We've got plenty
of rooms, right.

Speaker 6 (36:31):
We're in the northwest corner actually from South Center, Iowa, Okay.
And it's my husband's family farm. And his brother, Christian
rose Boom is a linebacker for Rams.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh. Okay, Well, I.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Put the farm that he grew up on. So if
you're doing I don't know a football theme, you're welcome
to come on over. I didn't drop that to get
the phone call. I didn't drop it.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Okay, I'm Tracey. She's starting to scare me away now.
Probably put us to work on the farm. You imagine
Todd milk and a cow. This is suit Center?
Speaker 10 (37:12):
Why not calling up next on suit Center? Orange County
is a mess. But what's happening in Rock Valley?
Speaker 9 (37:23):
You got one?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
No, no, no, he does not. What's happening I know
Todd is Todd has been the entire morning. He has
been entertaining us with his Donald Trump impersonation. But it's
the face and the hands because the voice is just
kind of your voice.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
And it's only good for TV. Maybe certainly not radio
or any of that. Yeah, facial expressions, hands expressions.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Where somebody's watching on peacock right now. Then you give
me a little sample of what you've been you've been
entertaining the masses this morning.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
There's some very big games if you like football, and
if you don't like football, give it a shot. You
got the Bills and the Chiefs in Buffalo. Everybody loves that.
Got the Bills, chief that's big. Ravens Steelers, that's big.
The Broncos aren't going to make the playoffs if they
don't beat Kirk Cousins of the fact that everybody knows
that you got Georgia and South and you've got South
Carolina Missouri.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, that's what we've been treated to. That's the entertainment.
Just referring to Yes, that's the thank you for the
person working at the hospice.
Speaker 7 (38:19):
It's funny how the content changes when it's like, hey, Todd,
but you can't curse.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Oh that case, yeah, but Todd all we have to
keep a PG. Oh okay, yeah, you were doing your
scoreboard and you're cursing, and I go, no, no, we're
not doing that.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
We get a little loose.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Whenever you put on a microphone, always assume the microphone
is on.
Speaker 8 (38:39):
That's very wise. A lot of people have been gotten
themselves in trouble with that.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Thank you, Tom Scott and Oregon Scott shot Todd shut up.
Speaker 11 (38:52):
So I'm here with my son Miles. He's seven, he's
I'm sick. He's a big fan of the show, and
we wanted to call and tell you that we're in.
I'm a transplant, but he was born here. He's a
huge Dutch fan, and we went to our first game
in augstin on Saturday against Maryland. My brother came up
and let me tell you, my brother and I have
been to a lot of sporting events, but the atmosphere
there is just insane. The crowd Metallica playing during timeouts,
(39:17):
every seat filled standing room only. The crowd knows when
to cheer and when not to. It was just brilliant,
I have to say. And I know there was some
talk of you guys coming to the Ohioste game this year,
so Miles and I wanted to call and say, next year,
you got to come to Austin for a game.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, I keep hearing about that. There's a few places
when I retire that I would like to just go
to just certain you know, stadiums I have not been to.
Let's go around the room. What we learned on the program? Tom?
What did you learn today? You filled in nicely for
Paulie and you I just learned that you just don't
want Mike Tyson knocked out on the campus by Jake
Paul as he looks for his mouthpiece.
Speaker 8 (39:53):
You don't want to see anything like that.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
I do not want to see that. Marvin. What did
you learn today?
Speaker 9 (39:57):
Austin and Pennsylvania? What's a piece of Jake Paul?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And he would wipe the floor with him. Seaton, what
did you learn today?
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Ariel Hawani says boxing is actually in great shape?
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
What did I learn?
Speaker 8 (40:07):

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
