Final hour on this Friday. It's a meat Friday at that.
We got chopped brisket, we got barbecue chicken, we got
potato salad, baked beans.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
All right, so we're a dan atte down.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Fritzy flew back from London, and I think he got
back in time to watch the celebrity family feud. He's
going to join us coming up at I don't know,
twenty after or so, and he can take a victory
lap with how he performed all of the Dan Nets.
Everybody performed well and we're able to talk about it
now because we dominated the Rich Isison show. I did
(00:44):
ask if somebody could go see if rich Eisen, who
was here.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Playing as a journalist. I am a journalist.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
You got to cover the story.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I said, could somebody go over and ask rich Iison
if he would like to join us on the program.
That's all says, no, okay, but I want to he
can give his side to this.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I want to let him have his opportunity to talk
about this. Yes, palm.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Before you bring in Rob, I just want to say
some people on the internets are asking about the possibility
of a celebrity family feud Remac.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
No, I'm a one and donner. We have nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, I don't know. We dominated and we move on.
I yeah, I mean he might want to to save face. Uh.
I don't know if he'll ever recover from this, but uh,
you know, let's see if he wants to join us
here on the program. All right, each seven seven three
DP show email address DPA Danpatrick dot com. He's Rob Mack,
the actor, comedian, part owner of Wrexham, always Sonny in Philadelphia,
(01:44):
always sunny disposition, and a celebrity who doesn't lie. Because
yesterday I said, Rob, do you want to join us
on the show? And he goes, I can't today, but
I'll join you tomorrow. Well you look like a celebrity though,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
I think it's the Songlas, Yes it is, yes, take off.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay, explain the rebrand here of you go from Rob
mcklelhaney yes to Rob Mac And how much thought went
behind this? If you want to pull that microphone up
a little bit too, so, how much thought goes into
a what I guess is a rebrand.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
A tremendous amount of thought over the last twenty years.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
But I think the thing that really put it over
the edge was, you know, I'm very proud of my name.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I'm proud of my heritage, I'm proud of my family,
and I never wanted to change my name.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
And I was asked many times coming into the entertainment business,
just because there's so many syllables and it's not quite
as sticky, and I always said no for that reason.
And then I did a full family tree earlier this
year and found out that our name has changed seven
or eight times over the last one hundred years, including
when we first came over.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
My great great grandfather they just changed his name.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Was it O Mackwillhaney.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
It was in the vein, there was a lot, There
was an O at one point, it was McIlhenny.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It was mccull luggod any at some point.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
And I thought, it's kind of amazing that someone put
a stamp on m c E l h E and
E y and said, yeah, that's the easy one.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Go with that, Go with that.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
What did your wife say, Well, she goes by Caitlyn Olsen,
so she's okay with that. I called my my my
father of course, had a very long conversation with him.
His first question was he said, son, I love you,
I will support you in whatever what you want to do.
Are you having a midlife crisis? I said, well yes,
he said, just.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Buy a car.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
But no, he said, you know you're it was really
important to me for because of my grandfather, my grandfather
and my grandmother who we're very close to, the paytchrarch
and matriarch of our family.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
And I said, what do you think Grandam Pop would think?
Speaker 7 (03:45):
And he said, well, Pop would have loved that if
some government official decided to change your name, that you
changed it back to something that you wanted.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, but you know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
This is like X with Twitter that they have to
say X formally known as Twitter.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's Rob mac formally known as Rob macklaheney.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yeah, it's easier than Prince right, because what was that?
Speaker 7 (04:08):
He was, Yeah, at the end of the day, I
actually I already it's only been a couple of weeks
and it's already easier.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You walk into a room just right here at the
edge what hotel.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
They said, name, sir. I said Rob Mac. They didn't
say excuse me, they said, oh okay. I said RB
m Ac and that was it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So you have all this free time of Rob Mac
and then you don't have the old Hanny. That's right
once again, and you're signing things, so it's easier to
sign Rob Mack.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Here my signature was just sort of r M and
then a bunch of squiggly lines. So I don't know
if it'll make that much of a difference, but I
can say that it's also an opportunity to shed one's
skin and try something new.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I've always liked to change.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
And I've always been a terrible golfer, so I feel
like Rob McElhenney is a terrible golfer.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
But Rob Mack is going to make a statement this year.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Is Ryan Reynolds going to change his last night?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I don't know. I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
It's if you if your last name is Reynolds or Patrick,
you don't know. You don't really understand what it's like.
And again, it's not that big of a deal. There's
so much going on in the world. Who really cares.
But the amount of time one has to spend negotiating
and navigating the spelling or pronunciation of one's name, when,
especially as our business expands into Latin America and in
(05:21):
other parts of the world. I just figured it'd be
easier for everybody else just to say.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Mac Wrexham, you and Ryan done a great job there,
congratulations on promotion.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
How close was this to not happening?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Never not you mean the promotion.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Or the whole whole project, of the whole project.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh no, it was going to happen.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
In fact, I went back and I found the original
email that I sent to him where I laid out
the idea and what I wanted to do, And originally
I was going to do it on my own and
ask Ryan if he wanted to be a sponsor Aviation
jen is the front of kit sponsor. The more I
thought about it, the more I realized, Wow, he's such
an entrepreneur, he's globally famous.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Whatever he touches seems to turn to gold.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
If I could potentially include him as a partner, that
this could take this.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Thing to the stratosphere.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
And I remember asking my wife about it, and I said, Kaitlin,
what do you think about me? Asking Ryan to be
a full partner on this, and she said, I don't know.
I guess it depends on whether your ego can take
sharing the screen.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
With Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, And I said, a good point. That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But I would you know, they don't want posers over there,
and we've seen so many US billionaires they want to
invest in the Premier League and you know there's that
pushback reaction. How much of that did you get from
Wrexham that wait a minute, what do you guys know
about soccer?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And what are you going to do?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
That's right, and that's why we were honest from the
very beginning, and we went in with our hearts on
our sleeves and said we don't know anything about football.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
And I didn't say soccer. I said football. Now for
the sake of this.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Conversation, it will be easier to call it soccer, and
so I'll just I'll do so.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
But I just want to put an asterix on that
we just went in and said we don't know anything
about soccer.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And have you become a soccer snob?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
No? No, honestly, i'd become a soccer fan.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I was not even a fan of the beautiful game
up until five years ago, and now I'm horrifically addicted.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, but if you if you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Could say success for Wrexham or success for always Sonny.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
What you mean if I had a time machine, because
it's hard to I mean I would need a Dolorean
to go back.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But you mean from this point forward, Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
He's had a great run. We're in season seventeen. We
just debuted season seventeen. Over twenty twenty years.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, that's why I run that.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Well, you know, I remember meeting you probably about a
decade ago, and I said something to you a phrase,
and I remember you saying, Wow, that is both inspiring
and crushing. And that phrase was I grew up watching you.
And now I hear a lot of people say that
to me. Oh, guys in their thirties and women in
their mid thirties saying I grew up watching you, and
(08:00):
there's nothing that you described it perfectly.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
It is really inspiring and sweet to hear, and it's
crushing because it means you're so old.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, you do feel that, like you get to a
certain point where somebody said and the legendary you know,
you you can't be legendary when you're in your twenties. Yes,
you got to be in your sixties to become legendary.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
But Danny, I'll give you a great example.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Danny DeVito turns down Lifetime Achievement awards all the time.
And I asked them, you know, this was like maybe
five years ago, Hey, why do you keep turning these
things down?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They seem like great honors.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
And he said, because it's basically a ticket to to
the funeral home.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
They're saying, hey, great that was that was a great
career bye.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I feel the same way.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, I truly if they gave me a lifetime Sports Emmy,
like I wouldn't want to do it because there's still
part of me that's like very competitive. I mean, I
expect a lifetime Sports Emmy. I'm just saying, yes, an honor.
Maybe it could be you know, posthumous, Like I'm fine
with that. But how do you sell Danny DeVito on
(09:02):
this concept.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Well, we had the luxury of already having shot one
season of the show without him. Now, nobody watched it,
but we had seven episodes of that series, and I
remember going to his house because we needed to bring
on somebody that had a little weight somebody that was
famous so that we could use it for marketing, and
Danny's name came up, and.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
He just seemed like a perfect fit.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
So I remember I went over to his house and
rang the doorbell and his daughter, who at the time
was probably nineteen or twenty years old, she answers the
door and she says, Oh, hi, my name's Lucy. I
just want to tell you I'm such a massive fan
of your show. And I knew from that point forward
I walked through the threshold and was like, we got
this guy, We got this guy.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Was there an episode that maybe you shouldn't have airred?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Oh yeah, Hi, there's episodes that got pulled from there
that are no longer in circulation.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, yeah, actually discussed those.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Sure, I'm happy to discuss them. I mean, it's it's satire.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
So one of the benefits of satire is that you
get to sort of wield a very sharp look at culture.
And that's what we do, very specifically Western culture, very
specifically the hypocrisy of Western culture across the socio political
and economic divides, and and and in doing so, you're
(10:22):
gonna push the boundaries of what is considered good taste
at any given moment, and so at the time when
something you're making something and something airs, it speaks to
the to its time.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
But when something then.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Goes years and engine years time, the times change and
it doesn't necessarily age. And I always feel like, well,
look that's where I was at the time, that's where
the show was at the time. I feel like erasing
that as if it didn't exist suggests that it never happened,
and I feel like that's a scary way to con
to look at the present in the future.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
How good a golfer are you?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (10:53):
Terrible?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Okay, Like like, are you barkly bad?
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I'm worse than Barkley? Where I was I was.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
I can tell you, I can tell you how I
feel versus what the reality is. I feel like I'm
a great golfer, and that's part of the problem.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
So there's no reality play, thank you. Yeah, I'm not
an I am not an athlete, not in any way. No,
that's why I went into the arts. All my friends
are playing sports.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
It's an all boys Catholic school, and the girls schools
needed boys for their plays.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And I was like, well, I'm getting cut from every team.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
I might as well go and meet a bunch of
girls and get to the.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Place, right, you know what, Given looking back, I should
have been in choir and maybe banned and done.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You know plays.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, it worked out for you, It worked out pretty well.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
But as far as these events go, it's really fun
to test your metal against professional athletes because it's really golf.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
The sport itself is so.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Humbling, and it is a game that takes practice and
it's so look, ultimately, it's so stupid. You're just trying
to get a little ball into a whole four hundred
yards away. So why do people love it? Why do
people come become so addicted to it? Especially high achieving
of people. And I think it's just the meditative practice
of recognizing how silly something is. But the more work
(12:08):
you put into it, the hopefully the better you get.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
And I think there's just something very profound about.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That Eagles fan playing with Aaron Rodgers today, Right, Yeah,
that's right, all right, how's that going to go?
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Well?
Speaker 7 (12:22):
We won the Super Bowl, and when I say we,
I mean the Philadelphia Eagles, not me.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
I think it's gonna go great.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Never, I've never met Aaron aside from shaking hands with him,
so we'll see how his game is.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I hear is pretty good.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Yeah, well my score last year was negative thirty six. Now,
anybody who watches golf sees negative thirty six and says.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Wow, that's a great score.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, but they're not realizing that it's a different scoring system.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The scoring system is a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Negative thirty six means there was a lot of double
bogies out there. So the way I'm looking at it is,
I don't need to beat Aaron Rodgers. I don't need
to beat Charles Barkley. I just need to beat Rob
macklelhin who was negative thirty six. So if I can
beat Rob Mack, if Rob mack could beat Rob mclhenny,
then I'll feel good.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Is that the first third person use of your name?
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah, I mean it's gonna be insufferable, trust me, true,
I'm gonna be in no.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I recognize how how silly and ridiculous it is.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
And so even this morning I saw on the X account,
not the Twitter account, that you guys announced me as
Rob mclelhenny, and I laughed and thought, well, of course,
of course they did, like it's going to be a
process and still at the end of the day.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
There are bigger things going on in the world. Who
really cares? And I just laughed and figured this would
be about that.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
If I say Rob Mac, then people won't know that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, that's right, But then you got to go Rob
Mac always sunny wreck, you know, and then they get that.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Luckily, my character's name on the thing I'm most known
for is Mac, so that's very, very helpful.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
My grandfather's nickname was Mac.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Everybody called him Mac up until all through high school,
I was known as Mac, and then I stopped going
by that because my character is such a horrific human
on our show that I didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Want to go by that as a as a as
a nickname. But now I'm taking it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
But but how much fun is it to play a
bad guy the best?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Could you envision.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Being like, you know, Jim Parsons with Big Bang Theory,
where everything is.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Just you know, just kind of floating along.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah, I don't know, I would gravitate a good person. Yeah,
that's so boring.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Well, in fact, I'm I'm making I'm developing two separate
shows right now, both completely different from from Sonny. Not
very much not different from tonally from Welcome to Wrexham,
just as far as they're more dramatic. Ones both are
crime dramas. One I played the good guy and one
I played the bad guy. So it's really fun to
(14:47):
sit down and think of myself and and sort of
bifurkate the way I processed the world.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Throwing out some big words today I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I mean, I'm not doing it on purpose. They're just
sort of the I told you, Dan, I'm in.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
This is in?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Can I curse on this?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
What do you Why do you need to curse?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Well, because you can't.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I you can't F word?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
But I sound like a dickhead? You can I say that?
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I just get Yeah, Okay, I can say it once. Okay,
that's I'm not trying Dan.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But it like Ryan Reynolds can get away with this. Yeah,
he's such a nice because he didn't change his name.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
That's right, he's.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Such Ryan can get away with pretty much anything because
he's such a genuinely kind, nice person.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
But also he's just so.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I think he could be a good actor too.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
He's a pretty good he's a pretty good actor.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Does your wife say he's hot?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
She would say he is very attractive. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, hot.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
The word hot, I would say she she saved that,
but hurts.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Jalen hurts hot hot. Okay, Tom Hardy the actor, Oh
look at this little guy.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Chip.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Did somebody just say by frigate? So okay, we've established
that Ryan is hot.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, well Ryan's also forty eight years old.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I think it's the young professional athletes that the ladies
are going for these days, some of the actors.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Sure, okay, all right, well I think we've accomplied. Did
we accomplish anything here?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I feel like we've exhausted the audience's desire to see
me or hear me on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
What do you think I don't know. Do you think
that he's exhausted his.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
My're welcome now he always watched.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I think Rob mack is welcome back anytime. Rob mc lanny.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
That's he's gone.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, he's gone. Nobody likes him.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Well see right there, we bifurcated there.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Thank you for stopping.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Thank you. I really agree.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
I'm a big fan, and you know what, I grew
up watching you from the time I was a little
kid up all the way after Tom.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's inspiring and crushing.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I said it to you and and I'm meant it
at the time, and I still mean it, and it's
been You have been a massive inspiration, uh for me
and and for the way that we approach everything.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And I truly remer well when I went and met
with you and I was pitching an idea and you
were very enthusiastic.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Obviously it didn't work out because you.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Took it somewhere else. Just to be clear, he had
the choice, he took it somewhere else.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
That's that.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
We'll do that in a different episode. Wow, I don't
hold it against you, and I don't hold it Rob Macklehead.

minutes or so if you would like to stop.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
By acknowledge our greatness is yeah, just acknowledge our greatness.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Now, there's a couple of clips. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Here is Marvin and Seaton giving answers about a question
a category about superheroes in the bedroom.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
What superhero would you like to be called? In the bedroom? Aquaman?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Aquaman?
Speaker 9 (19:33):
Out of curiosity? Why would you want to be Aquaman?
Aquaman's and water? See my mom is in.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I know you.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Know Marmin a whole lot of superhero Marvin dives deep.
If we asked one hundred men, what superhero would you
like to be in the bedroom?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Iron Man?
Speaker 9 (20:01):
See me? What made you pick iron Men?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You know Marvin's mom is here.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
That was great, so we got too fast, Bunny I
started off, and then Fritchie came in and cleaned up.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And this is how it sounded.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
Twenty five seconds on the clock. Please, when someone asked
how many fingers am I holding up? How many are
they holding up?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Free?
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Tell me one thing you know about Dwayne and Rock Johnson.
He's very muscular. Name something women wish men could surprise
them with roses dry in jewelry. Name a US city
with a lot of professional sports teams, Los Angeles. Name
a kind of berry you'd find in a bowl of
mixed berries strawberries.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
That was it, and we ended up winning thanks to
Fritchie closing things up. Fritz he had scheduled his vacation
to London with his family wanted to go see Wimbledon,
and then we had decided kind of late to come
out here to Lake Tahoe. But Fritzie is joining us
on the throne. Fritzie, congratulations on a dominating performance.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
What a wonderful experience. I got back late yesterday afternoon,
so I was able to see it at home with
the With the family, we ordered pizza and wings and
stuff which I could not partake in because early this
morning I went from my colonoscopy. I know you love
when I go personal with my health is year, so
I had to be on a liquid diet and had
yello and apple juice instead of pizza and wings during
family people.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Okay, can't we just keep it on topic here? We
don't need I don't need the men here.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
You know I overshare at bit, Okay, Ken, I don't.
I do need to I know, in to refuse your show,
I need to say this though your answer with the
wives being more your wife being more valuable with age,
and I know you guys mentioned that I was watching
the show earlier, but it cannot be overstated. Heating his
contribution with arts to get us into the into the
(22:03):
bonus round for easy money that was huge and now
I'll let you continue because of those.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, So that's back row love is what you're giving
to Satan because I keep focusing on you and Marvin
and now you're you're okay, I give it.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
You gave him a little shit.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
I mean I did.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Just saying I did win. You okay, you did Congratulations,
you did win. You're welcome. So how what stood out
when you were at Wimbledon.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
I got to see Alcaaz play, I got to see
a joker play Sablenka. We were at the match where
Cinner was, I guess Grigord the metrouff if I'm pronouncing
that right, having to stop in the middle of the
third set. That was the hush that went over the
crowd seeing him, you know, grab his peck and he
was up, as you know, two sets to nothing. Hits
the shot to tie it too in the in the
third set, and it looked like he was gonna possibly
(22:49):
even win in straight sets and knockout number one. So
that stood out. So I Devil with Prada with Vanessa
Williams a clueless in the West End, which I guess
is London's version of Broadway. It was my first time
in London when I went on the tube, we went
to Abbey Road and we walked acurse.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Okay, all right, okay, Uh so you're you got another
week of vacation coming up and then we'll get to
see you after that. That's correct, And we kind of
missed you out here, although I will say that, you know,
we got some great guests that we we kind of
(23:23):
missed you the person, maybe not you, the booker's We
found out that we can get by without you.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
That's all right, that's right. I thought I thought it
was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, miss We had great guests, a lot of fun
here in a great atmosphere, and we'll be out next year.
But uh, congratulations, am.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
I invited for next year? Because this is gonna penalize
me because this is one I'm banned from July.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Tw Do you have Are you gonna go to the
French Open or something next year? Or I mean, is
there going to be a vacation planned?
Speaker 8 (23:59):
I had booked to see a hotel. That's indulgent, but
I could move some things around.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's a year and a day, okay, all right, so
it's this time next year, but don't plan a vacation.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I'm going to try not to do that. I plan
to be with you guys in Tahoe with your second
annual Dan Patrick Show in Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Then, all right, how about a round of applause for
Tom Frintz and golf applause since we're here.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Thank you, Todd Enjoy all right, that's Todd Frintz.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Yes, Barton, did it take you thirty seconds to regret
calling him?
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Maybe about twenty two seconds.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
We dip quickly into the colonoscopy, and you know what
his diet was a couple of phone calls in here Buddha,
Buddha in Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Hi, Buddha, No buddy, what's up boys? As you know, Dan,
I'm here on the scene. I'm over, I think on
a whole five and you know, just looking around and
seeing all the celebrities and all the action. The He's
fantastic and there's not much that can make this any
(25:04):
better other than having the Dan Patrick Show here on
the range. You guys are awesome. I just wanted to
say thank you. Guys have been great the last couple
of days, and you guys are legendary.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Buddha.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Buddha was supposed to bring me a bottle of sea smoke.
He didn't bring that up, but before I leave, I
was hoping to get a bottle of one of my
favorite ones. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 13 (25:31):
Hey Dan, happy to meet Friday Nobody. Congratulations on your
family feud victory. But had a special moment with the
family during the watch party last night after y'all won
and did your what looked like the Kansas City Chiefs
ring around the rosie Is celebration against the raters. Little
missus David in Ohio, expecting, did a little bit of movement,
(25:56):
and mom's and my wife's belly moved around and kick
and that was a big special moment for that. So
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you all right, Thank you, David. We just give
back to the community. Sheldon in Texas, Hi, Sheldon, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
How you today?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Good? Good?
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Sheldon. Nice just call up and ask me how I'm doing.
Nobody does that?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, not as much as they used to or should.
Adam in Indiana, Hi, Adam.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
Hey, guys five eleven still two o three. Just wanted
to congratulate you guys on your Family Foud victory. My
family loves your show. We love watching the Family Fud together.
We had our nephew over last night watching it and
our two year old was clapping, which, by the way,
we've taught him to say blueloop, so I know you
appreciate that. No, no ABC's yet, but blootloops there. And
(26:56):
also it's on my bucket list. Sunday's my birthday. I'd
love to get a awesome birthday song from you guys.
Speaker 9 (27:02):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Have a good day, Happy birthday, a couple of days early,
Happy birthday. That'd be a great weekend. All right, did
we have a poll question for the final hour of
the program. See, we've had a whole question up the
entire day.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Okay, would you rather get cheers as an athlete or
laughs as a comic?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (27:26):
Right now, cheers as an athlete is.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
About fifty eight percent of the vote.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Okay, that's interesting, Yeah, because almost universally we said laughs
as a comic. But that might just be because we're
doing this, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, I think getting laughs if that's your job, like
your job is not to get cheers but a comedian's
job is to get laughter.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, poue.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
I saw an interview with David Spade, the comedian years ago.
He said the tough part about it being comedian compared
to like a musician. Let's say you're a musician, you
have like six or seven hits. You could just play
them for the rest of your life in concert and
fill it in with other songs. If you're a comedian,
you have a couple of hits sets. You can't do
them twenty years later. They're not repurposable. You do them
for like a certain amount of time.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Uh, Nate in Utah, Hi Nate, thanks for holding.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Hey Dan, Hey Dan, good morning.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
Hey.
Speaker 15 (28:17):
I just wanted to talk about the late Frank Layton.
He just passed away a couple of days ago. Just
an amazing Utah, you know. And if it wasn't for him,
Larry Miller, so like Utah Jazz is probably be in
Las Vegas right now. So I just wanted to say that,
and I appreciate you guys. Have been listening to you
guys for fourteen years thirty two and make my morning
(28:38):
a heck of a lot better.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Thank you, Nate.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Frank Layden funny man, good Man, always entertaining. Got a
chance to spend time with him, and he was he
was always on. He was character ninety three years of age.
I'll sign him for that.
Speaker 12 (28:54):
Yes, Marvin, he was big on those NBA entertainment bloopers
and all that. Yeah, he was always first team. He
always had a great line or two. Was he there
with Marv Albert? Did they do those blooper videos?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I think yeah, he was fun good Man.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Yeah, Paulin a lot of people who didn't get to
see Celebrity Family Feud last night, if they didn't tape it,
they're asking how can they see it? There's there a replay.
You could see it on Hulu. I just got a
note from someone at Family Feud on Hulu dot com
or I don't know the details, but if you go
to Hulu, it's already up there. You can watch it
on demand.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Okay, Yeah, we taped about an hour's worth of content
and then they cut it down to twenty two minutes.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And when you watch it, I mean they it's rapid fire.
It's edited in a way.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
But you know what you don't see obviously is there'll
be breaks and Steve Harvey goes out to the audience
and does stand up for like ten minutes. And I
mean those audience came to see Steve Harvey and he
puts on a show, and he's got that look. Whenever
you give a goofy answer or something, he'll give you
that look to the camera.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
We got a couple of those, and I thought I was.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Going to get one when I said that Fritzy does
his Steve Harvey impersonation. But he acknowledged that, Fritzy, he
accepted it and thought that, you know, the effort. He
appreciated the effort. I think that's what he was big upon.
All right, we'll take a break here, last call for
phone calls.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
What we learn?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
What's in store for Monday, this day in sports history,
and it is a meat Friday, even though it is
a thirty seven local. It's a kind of a late
breakfast or brunch, early lunch, something like that. If you're
watching on Peacock you'll see the menu. We're back after
this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
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 (30:45):
The food supplied by the chefs who work at the
golf course and they're busy today this weekend. But man,
they gave us brisket. We got this barbecue chicken is awesome.
So thank you for all the hospitality here in Lake Tahoe.
The people who came out fans of the show got
(31:06):
an opportunity to say lo to a lot of you,
and we plan on coming back next year.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Yes, Paul, this place is just paradise. Edwood and the
courses like this up against the water. The backdrop looks
like a Bob Ross painting. It's just gorgeous and the
sun comes up. It's just kind of place you could
spend your all weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
True security is having a system that's proactive, not reactive,
simply safe design to stop crying before it starts. There
is no safe like simply safe. All right, See if
we can get a couple more phone calls in here,
Matt and Ohio. Hi Matt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (31:37):
Hey Dan? Thanks six four five.
Speaker 14 (31:41):
I just wanted to talk about family feud last night.
Speaker 16 (31:44):
It was so fun to watch you guys win, but
the most fun part for me was listening to my
two kids as you guys came on. My son's like,
that's the talk radio guy.
Speaker 14 (31:55):
And my daughter's like, no.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
That's the guy from the water Tower and grown ups.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
That's okay, just as long as I'm remembered for whatever
it is. But thank you, Matt Uh Chase in Oregon,
Hi Chase, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Danny Chase?
Speaker 16 (32:16):
Hey, I got a good friend here, uh, sitting next
to me, and he wants to congratulate you on family feud.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Okay, Dan Man, Dan, Hey, it's coach prime Man. It's
de sand that's how you doing.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, thank you, thank you Chase.
Speaker 11 (32:35):
Uh, that's a little like, uh, what's the impression Todd does?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
That sounds exactly like Todd Uh Donald Trump? Oh right,
he does Donald Trump. He just moves his hands. But
he's like, yeah, see it's me.
Speaker 11 (32:45):
I'm doing the Donald Trump impression, right, get it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Nathan and san Antonio, Hi, Nate, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Oh man?
Speaker 17 (32:54):
I always come up after the weirdest called.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Was all.
Speaker 17 (33:01):
I want to honor qualcom here today. Of course, you
guys had the Barkley on and then we had the
passing of Frank Lady. So I want to ask you,
is Barkley is the last of the characters that we
have in sports.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
No, because I mean Pat McAfee's a character, Stephen A.
Smith's a character. I mean, Charles is just unique. And
thanks for the phone call. We were talking about this earlier.
I saw a column in the Washington Post where they
were very critical of John McEnroe. And there are a
lot of people who love John McEnroe as an analyst.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
But what happens.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I think with a lot of analysts when they first
start out as an analyst, they're not that far removed
from actually playing. So you're so up on technology, terminology, rosters, coaches,
all of that, and then the further away you get,
you may not put in the time, but you have
to put in the time. And the column in the
(34:01):
Washington Post was kind of saying that John McEnroe doesn't
do his homework anymore. He knows tennis, but does he
know the tennis players. Charles doesn't necessarily know the NBA anymore,
but he's entertaining. He's honest with you. He'd be like,
I got to watch this game tonight, and I don't
want to watch it. There are times when he doesn't
know the players in March Badness, or he doesn't know
(34:23):
guys on rosters in the NBA, but he's still like
he's given a Hall pass with that. I don't know
if there's another analyst who could get by saying, hey,
I don't know what I'm talking about, or this product
is boring, but we accept Charles kind of he's in
a vacuum. There's nobody like that that you say, hey,
it's okay if he doesn't know. It's funny that he
(34:44):
doesn't know. But we would never let somebody else off
the hook that way. Yeah, Mark, I think lately Stephen A.
Speaker 12 (34:52):
Smith he's got that pass because he's so valuable to
the network.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
But he's not trying to make a mistake, like he
truly thinks that he knows the Knick's roster and then
he makes a mistake.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
But he's stretched so thin. But once again, you got
to put in the time.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
You know, I don't know as much baseball as I
once did, maybe as much basketball, or as much football,
because when you grow up you're a fan, you're consuming everything.
Now it's a job and there's so much. I have
to know a little bit about a lot and a
lot about a little and that's the challenge. But the
older you get, when you're doing this, you probably put
(35:31):
in less time, or you're less enthusiastic about a sport
or a player or a moment.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Yeah, Paul, And the thing about Barkley, what you said
is he admits it. He'll say I'm not watching the
Atlanta Hawks tomorrow night. He doesn't try to, you know,
the Atlanta Hawks power forward blah blah blah, and make
something up.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
He I'm not watching them.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
And people like the refreshing honesty.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
But you can't get away that with any other sport,
any other analysts. I mean, if Chris Collins were said, hey,
I don't know who Kansas City's running backs are.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Like kid get get killed?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Or you know, even Wayne Gretzky has gotten criticized because
even though he's the great one, does he know today's
player players, rosters? And I think that's you know, as
a fan, you want to make sure they know what
they're talking about because you care what they're talking about.
You care, you know what their opinion is going to
(36:22):
be about Matthew Kuchuk, you know. But that goes along
with the territory. But it did stand out that McEnroe
got roughed up in this Washington Post column but saying
that he doesn't do his homework.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yes, yeah, you can. As a fan, you can.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
You can really pinpoint and get so much information on
very specific areas of your sport. Now more than ever
you know you can be. You can be so hyper
informed on things. At the minute somebody says one thing,
even ten degrees off, you're like, this guy, don't know
what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Well, stats are so readily available. You can get all
of this information. You can get all the information that
an analyst can get if you look for it.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
You can get that.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
And let's face it, sports fans, that's why we do
what we do. We love your passion and if we
do make a mistake, you usually called us on that.
But there are times you make a mistake and it's
a small mistake, but in your world it might be huge.
Like how could you not know Benito Santiago's batting average?
This actually came up the other once again, my nightlife
(37:28):
in Lake Tahoe has not been that exciting. So when
I you know, I had a conversation with somebody about
Benito Santiago. I thought he led the league in a
hitting and I said, I think he batted three thirty eight.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I think I got that right, but I didn't get the.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
He won the batting title there, So yeah, just a
little snapshot of how exciting my nightlife has been here
in Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 11 (37:50):
Yes, that's actually why this show has prepared, or, like
I say, me so well for something like celebrity family feud,
because I've said so many stupid things on this show,
and I've done so many stupid things that truly were embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
That I was mortified.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
That's like, oh my god, I'm so stupid that I've
had eighteen years of getting used to that that I
was like, there's nothing I can do in celebrity family
feud that's going to embarrass me more than I probably
already embarrassed myself.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
So just have fun. Are you checking Benito Santiago's batting average?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Ball?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Of course I did, That's what I do.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I think it's three thirty eight that he batted, yes,
and he did not win the title. Yeah good. Yeah,
I think that was his second or third year in
the league.
Speaker 17 (38:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
I mean, these are the kind of things that we
talk about when we go out to dinner. How about
this day in sports history?
Speaker 6 (38:32):
Paul Right, I Q Ston O'Connor nineteen fourteen, Babe Ruth
debuted in the major leagues for the Red Sox. It
was always a Babe Ruth. There's always a Nolan Ryan.
He got four thousand strikeouts on this day. And then
bonus covered. Bo Jackson signed a contract to play for
the La Raiders for five years. He was also under
contract to play for the Kansas City Royals.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I was watching a little bit of this game that
the Yankees were being no hit and Brian wu he
was no hitting them in the eighth inning, and the
Yankees came back and won that six' five in ten.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Innings, day dag. Day let me see what else DO i? Have,
oh here's.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
One this doesn't make sense if you if you think
of the everybody's swinging for home, runs well maybe this
does make sense to. People do you realize how many
teams have been shut out this? Year how many times
has somebody thrown a shutout In Major League? Baseball this
is the total shutouts in baseball so far this. Season
(39:31):
i'll go one, Twenty marvin eighty, One seaton, eleven two
hundred and. Seven this is the second most shutouts prior
to The All Star.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Break since nineteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
THREE i don't know what it, means because you got,
pitchers but it's by. Committee you don't have aces. Anymore
but everybody throws. Hard speaking of which the, Athletics Mason,
miller he threw one oh four point, one the fastest
(40:08):
pitch Since Ben joyce threw one oh five point. Five last.

Before you bring in Rob, I just want to say
some people on the internets are asking about the possibility
of a celebrity family feud Remac.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
No, I'm a one and donner. We have nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, I don't know. We dominated and we move on.
I yeah, I mean he might want to to save face. Uh.
I don't know if he'll ever recover from this, but uh,
you know, let's see if he wants to join us
here on the program. All right, each seven seven three
DP show email address DPA Danpatrick dot com. He's Rob Mack,
the actor, comedian, part owner of Wrexham, always Sonny in Philadelphia,
(01:44):
always sunny disposition, and a celebrity who doesn't lie. Because
yesterday I said, Rob, do you want to join us
on the show? And he goes, I can't today, but
I'll join you tomorrow. Well you look like a celebrity though,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
I think it's the Songlas, Yes it is, yes, take off.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Okay, explain the rebrand here of you go from Rob
mcklelhaney yes to Rob Mac And how much thought went
behind this? If you want to pull that microphone up
a little bit too, so, how much thought goes into
a what I guess is a rebrand.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
A tremendous amount of thought over the last twenty years.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
But I think the thing that really put it over
the edge was, you know, I'm very proud of my name.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I'm proud of my heritage, I'm proud of my family,
and I never wanted to change my name.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
And I was asked many times coming into the entertainment business,
just because there's so many syllables and it's not quite
as sticky, and I always said no for that reason.
And then I did a full family tree earlier this
year and found out that our name has changed seven
or eight times over the last one hundred years, including
when we first came over.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
My great great grandfather they just changed his name.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Was it O Mackwillhaney.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
It was in the vein, there was a lot, There
was an O at one point, it was McIlhenny.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It was mccull luggod any at some point.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
And I thought, it's kind of amazing that someone put
a stamp on m c E l h E and
E y and said, yeah, that's the easy one.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Go with that, Go with that.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
What did your wife say, Well, she goes by Caitlyn Olsen,
so she's okay with that. I called my my my
father of course, had a very long conversation with him.
His first question was he said, son, I love you,
I will support you in whatever what you want to do.
Are you having a midlife crisis? I said, well yes,
he said, just.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Buy a car.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
But no, he said, you know you're it was really
important to me for because of my grandfather, my grandfather
and my grandmother who we're very close to, the paytchrarch
and matriarch of our family.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
And I said, what do you think Grandam Pop would think?
Speaker 7 (03:45):
And he said, well, Pop would have loved that if
some government official decided to change your name, that you
changed it back to something that you wanted.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, but you know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
This is like X with Twitter that they have to
say X formally known as Twitter.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's Rob mac formally known as Rob macklaheney.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yeah, it's easier than Prince right, because what was that?
Speaker 7 (04:08):
He was, Yeah, at the end of the day, I
actually I already it's only been a couple of weeks
and it's already easier.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You walk into a room just right here at the
edge what hotel.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
They said, name, sir. I said Rob Mac. They didn't
say excuse me, they said, oh okay. I said RB
m Ac and that was it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So you have all this free time of Rob Mac
and then you don't have the old Hanny. That's right
once again, and you're signing things, so it's easier to
sign Rob Mack.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Here my signature was just sort of r M and
then a bunch of squiggly lines. So I don't know
if it'll make that much of a difference, but I
can say that it's also an opportunity to shed one's
skin and try something new.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I've always liked to change.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
And I've always been a terrible golfer, so I feel
like Rob McElhenney is a terrible golfer.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
But Rob Mack is going to make a statement this year.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Is Ryan Reynolds going to change his last night?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I don't know. I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
It's if you if your last name is Reynolds or Patrick,
you don't know. You don't really understand what it's like.
And again, it's not that big of a deal. There's
so much going on in the world. Who really cares.
But the amount of time one has to spend negotiating
and navigating the spelling or pronunciation of one's name, when,
especially as our business expands into Latin America and in
(05:21):
other parts of the world. I just figured it'd be
easier for everybody else just to say.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Mac Wrexham, you and Ryan done a great job there,
congratulations on promotion.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
How close was this to not happening?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Never not you mean the promotion.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Or the whole whole project, of the whole project.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh no, it was going to happen.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
In fact, I went back and I found the original
email that I sent to him where I laid out
the idea and what I wanted to do, And originally
I was going to do it on my own and
ask Ryan if he wanted to be a sponsor Aviation
jen is the front of kit sponsor. The more I
thought about it, the more I realized, Wow, he's such
an entrepreneur, he's globally famous.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Whatever he touches seems to turn to gold.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
If I could potentially include him as a partner, that
this could take this.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Thing to the stratosphere.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
And I remember asking my wife about it, and I said, Kaitlin,
what do you think about me? Asking Ryan to be
a full partner on this, and she said, I don't know.
I guess it depends on whether your ego can take
sharing the screen.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
With Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, And I said, a good point. That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But I would you know, they don't want posers over there,
and we've seen so many US billionaires they want to
invest in the Premier League and you know there's that
pushback reaction. How much of that did you get from
Wrexham that wait a minute, what do you guys know
about soccer?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And what are you going to do?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
That's right, and that's why we were honest from the
very beginning, and we went in with our hearts on
our sleeves and said we don't know anything about football.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
And I didn't say soccer. I said football. Now for
the sake of this.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Conversation, it will be easier to call it soccer, and
so I'll just I'll do so.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
But I just want to put an asterix on that
we just went in and said we don't know anything
about soccer.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And have you become a soccer snob?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
No? No, honestly, i'd become a soccer fan.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I was not even a fan of the beautiful game
up until five years ago, and now I'm horrifically addicted.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, but if you if you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Could say success for Wrexham or success for always Sonny.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
What you mean if I had a time machine, because
it's hard to I mean I would need a Dolorean
to go back.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But you mean from this point forward, Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
He's had a great run. We're in season seventeen. We
just debuted season seventeen. Over twenty twenty years.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, that's why I run that.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Well, you know, I remember meeting you probably about a
decade ago, and I said something to you a phrase,
and I remember you saying, Wow, that is both inspiring
and crushing. And that phrase was I grew up watching you.
And now I hear a lot of people say that
to me. Oh, guys in their thirties and women in
their mid thirties saying I grew up watching you, and
(08:00):
there's nothing that you described it perfectly.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
It is really inspiring and sweet to hear, and it's
crushing because it means you're so old.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, you do feel that, like you get to a
certain point where somebody said and the legendary you know,
you you can't be legendary when you're in your twenties. Yes,
you got to be in your sixties to become legendary.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
But Danny, I'll give you a great example.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Danny DeVito turns down Lifetime Achievement awards all the time.
And I asked them, you know, this was like maybe
five years ago, Hey, why do you keep turning these
things down?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They seem like great honors.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
And he said, because it's basically a ticket to to
the funeral home.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
They're saying, hey, great that was that was a great
career bye.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I feel the same way.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, I truly if they gave me a lifetime Sports Emmy,
like I wouldn't want to do it because there's still
part of me that's like very competitive. I mean, I
expect a lifetime Sports Emmy. I'm just saying, yes, an honor.
Maybe it could be you know, posthumous, Like I'm fine
with that. But how do you sell Danny DeVito on
(09:02):
this concept.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Well, we had the luxury of already having shot one
season of the show without him. Now, nobody watched it,
but we had seven episodes of that series, and I
remember going to his house because we needed to bring
on somebody that had a little weight somebody that was
famous so that we could use it for marketing, and
Danny's name came up, and.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
He just seemed like a perfect fit.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
So I remember I went over to his house and
rang the doorbell and his daughter, who at the time
was probably nineteen or twenty years old, she answers the
door and she says, Oh, hi, my name's Lucy. I
just want to tell you I'm such a massive fan
of your show. And I knew from that point forward
I walked through the threshold and was like, we got
this guy, We got this guy.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Was there an episode that maybe you shouldn't have airred?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Oh yeah, Hi, there's episodes that got pulled from there
that are no longer in circulation.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, yeah, actually discussed those.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Sure, I'm happy to discuss them. I mean, it's it's satire.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
So one of the benefits of satire is that you
get to sort of wield a very sharp look at culture.
And that's what we do, very specifically Western culture, very
specifically the hypocrisy of Western culture across the socio political
and economic divides, and and and in doing so, you're
(10:22):
gonna push the boundaries of what is considered good taste
at any given moment, and so at the time when
something you're making something and something airs, it speaks to
the to its time.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
But when something then.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Goes years and engine years time, the times change and
it doesn't necessarily age. And I always feel like, well,
look that's where I was at the time, that's where
the show was at the time. I feel like erasing
that as if it didn't exist suggests that it never happened,
and I feel like that's a scary way to con
to look at the present in the future.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
How good a golfer are you?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (10:53):
Terrible?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Okay, Like like, are you barkly bad?
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I'm worse than Barkley? Where I was I was.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
I can tell you, I can tell you how I
feel versus what the reality is. I feel like I'm
a great golfer, and that's part of the problem.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
So there's no reality play, thank you. Yeah, I'm not
an I am not an athlete, not in any way. No,
that's why I went into the arts. All my friends
are playing sports.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
It's an all boys Catholic school, and the girls schools
needed boys for their plays.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And I was like, well, I'm getting cut from every team.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
I might as well go and meet a bunch of
girls and get to the.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Place, right, you know what, Given looking back, I should
have been in choir and maybe banned and done.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You know plays.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, it worked out for you, It worked out pretty well.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
But as far as these events go, it's really fun
to test your metal against professional athletes because it's really golf.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
The sport itself is so.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Humbling, and it is a game that takes practice and
it's so look, ultimately, it's so stupid. You're just trying
to get a little ball into a whole four hundred
yards away. So why do people love it? Why do
people come become so addicted to it? Especially high achieving
of people. And I think it's just the meditative practice
of recognizing how silly something is. But the more work
(12:08):
you put into it, the hopefully the better you get.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
And I think there's just something very profound about.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That Eagles fan playing with Aaron Rodgers today, Right, Yeah,
that's right, all right, how's that going to go?
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Well?
Speaker 7 (12:22):
We won the Super Bowl, and when I say we,
I mean the Philadelphia Eagles, not me.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
I think it's gonna go great.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Never, I've never met Aaron aside from shaking hands with him,
so we'll see how his game is.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I hear is pretty good.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Yeah, well my score last year was negative thirty six. Now,
anybody who watches golf sees negative thirty six and says.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Wow, that's a great score.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, but they're not realizing that it's a different scoring system.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The scoring system is a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Negative thirty six means there was a lot of double
bogies out there. So the way I'm looking at it is,
I don't need to beat Aaron Rodgers. I don't need
to beat Charles Barkley. I just need to beat Rob
macklelhin who was negative thirty six. So if I can
beat Rob Mack, if Rob mack could beat Rob mclhenny,
then I'll feel good.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Is that the first third person use of your name?
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah, I mean it's gonna be insufferable, trust me, true,
I'm gonna be in no.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I recognize how how silly and ridiculous it is.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
And so even this morning I saw on the X account,
not the Twitter account, that you guys announced me as
Rob mclelhenny, and I laughed and thought, well, of course,
of course they did, like it's going to be a
process and still at the end of the day.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
There are bigger things going on in the world. Who
really cares? And I just laughed and figured this would
be about that.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
If I say Rob Mac, then people won't know that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, that's right, But then you got to go Rob
Mac always sunny wreck, you know, and then they get that.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Luckily, my character's name on the thing I'm most known
for is Mac, so that's very, very helpful.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
My grandfather's nickname was Mac.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Everybody called him Mac up until all through high school,
I was known as Mac, and then I stopped going
by that because my character is such a horrific human
on our show that I didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Want to go by that as a as a as
a nickname. But now I'm taking it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
But but how much fun is it to play a
bad guy the best?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Could you envision.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Being like, you know, Jim Parsons with Big Bang Theory,
where everything is.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Just you know, just kind of floating along.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah, I don't know, I would gravitate a good person. Yeah,
that's so boring.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Well, in fact, I'm I'm making I'm developing two separate
shows right now, both completely different from from Sonny. Not
very much not different from tonally from Welcome to Wrexham,
just as far as they're more dramatic. Ones both are
crime dramas. One I played the good guy and one
I played the bad guy. So it's really fun to
(14:47):
sit down and think of myself and and sort of
bifurkate the way I processed the world.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Throwing out some big words today I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I mean, I'm not doing it on purpose. They're just
sort of the I told you, Dan, I'm in.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
This is in?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Can I curse on this?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
What do you Why do you need to curse?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Well, because you can't.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I you can't F word?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
But I sound like a dickhead? You can I say that?
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I just get Yeah, Okay, I can say it once. Okay,
that's I'm not trying Dan.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But it like Ryan Reynolds can get away with this. Yeah,
he's such a nice because he didn't change his name.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
That's right, he's.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Such Ryan can get away with pretty much anything because
he's such a genuinely kind, nice person.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
But also he's just so.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I think he could be a good actor too.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
He's a pretty good he's a pretty good actor.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Does your wife say he's hot?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
She would say he is very attractive. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, hot.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
The word hot, I would say she she saved that,
but hurts.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Jalen hurts hot hot. Okay, Tom Hardy the actor, Oh
look at this little guy.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Chip.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Did somebody just say by frigate? So okay, we've established
that Ryan is hot.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, well Ryan's also forty eight years old.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I think it's the young professional athletes that the ladies
are going for these days, some of the actors.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Sure, okay, all right, well I think we've accomplied. Did
we accomplish anything here?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I feel like we've exhausted the audience's desire to see
me or hear me on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
What do you think I don't know. Do you think
that he's exhausted his.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
My're welcome now he always watched.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I think Rob mack is welcome back anytime. Rob mc lanny.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
That's he's gone.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, he's gone. Nobody likes him.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Well see right there, we bifurcated there.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Thank you for stopping.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Thank you. I really agree.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
I'm a big fan, and you know what, I grew
up watching you from the time I was a little
kid up all the way after Tom.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's inspiring and crushing.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I said it to you and and I'm meant it
at the time, and I still mean it, and it's
been You have been a massive inspiration, uh for me
and and for the way that we approach everything.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And I truly remer well when I went and met
with you and I was pitching an idea and you
were very enthusiastic.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Obviously it didn't work out because you.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Took it somewhere else. Just to be clear, he had
the choice, he took it somewhere else.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
That's that.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
We'll do that in a different episode. Wow, I don't
hold it against you, and I don't hold it Rob Macklehead.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
A whole.

That was it, and we ended up winning thanks to
Fritchie closing things up. Fritz he had scheduled his vacation
to London with his family wanted to go see Wimbledon,
and then we had decided kind of late to come
out here to Lake Tahoe. But Fritzie is joining us
on the throne. Fritzie, congratulations on a dominating performance.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
What a wonderful experience. I got back late yesterday afternoon,
so I was able to see it at home with
the With the family, we ordered pizza and wings and
stuff which I could not partake in because early this
morning I went from my colonoscopy. I know you love
when I go personal with my health is year, so
I had to be on a liquid diet and had
yello and apple juice instead of pizza and wings during
family people.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Okay, can't we just keep it on topic here? We
don't need I don't need the men here.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
You know I overshare at bit, Okay, Ken, I don't.
I do need to I know, in to refuse your show,
I need to say this though your answer with the
wives being more your wife being more valuable with age,
and I know you guys mentioned that I was watching
the show earlier, but it cannot be overstated. Heating his
contribution with arts to get us into the into the
(22:03):
bonus round for easy money that was huge and now
I'll let you continue because of those.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, So that's back row love is what you're giving
to Satan because I keep focusing on you and Marvin
and now you're you're okay, I give it.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
You gave him a little shit.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
I mean I did.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Just saying I did win. You okay, you did Congratulations,
you did win. You're welcome. So how what stood out
when you were at Wimbledon.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
I got to see Alcaaz play, I got to see
a joker play Sablenka. We were at the match where
Cinner was, I guess Grigord the metrouff if I'm pronouncing
that right, having to stop in the middle of the
third set. That was the hush that went over the
crowd seeing him, you know, grab his peck and he
was up, as you know, two sets to nothing. Hits
the shot to tie it too in the in the
third set, and it looked like he was gonna possibly
(22:49):
even win in straight sets and knockout number one. So
that stood out. So I Devil with Prada with Vanessa
Williams a clueless in the West End, which I guess
is London's version of Broadway. It was my first time
in London when I went on the tube, we went
to Abbey Road and we walked acurse.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Okay, all right, okay, Uh so you're you got another
week of vacation coming up and then we'll get to
see you after that. That's correct, And we kind of
missed you out here, although I will say that, you know,
we got some great guests that we we kind of
(23:23):
missed you the person, maybe not you, the booker's We
found out that we can get by without you.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
That's all right, that's right. I thought I thought it
was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, miss We had great guests, a lot of fun
here in a great atmosphere, and we'll be out next year.
But uh, congratulations, am.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
I invited for next year? Because this is gonna penalize
me because this is one I'm banned from July.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Tw Do you have Are you gonna go to the
French Open or something next year? Or I mean, is
there going to be a vacation planned?
Speaker 8 (23:59):
I had booked to see a hotel. That's indulgent, but
I could move some things around.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's a year and a day, okay, all right, so
it's this time next year, but don't plan a vacation.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I'm going to try not to do that. I plan
to be with you guys in Tahoe with your second
annual Dan Patrick Show in Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Then, all right, how about a round of applause for
Tom Frintz and golf applause since we're here.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Thank you, Todd Enjoy all right, that's Todd Frintz.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Yes, Barton, did it take you thirty seconds to regret
calling him?
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Maybe about twenty two seconds.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
We dip quickly into the colonoscopy, and you know what
his diet was a couple of phone calls in here Buddha,
Buddha in Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Hi, Buddha, No buddy, what's up boys? As you know, Dan,
I'm here on the scene. I'm over, I think on
a whole five and you know, just looking around and
seeing all the celebrities and all the action. The He's
fantastic and there's not much that can make this any
(25:04):
better other than having the Dan Patrick Show here on
the range. You guys are awesome. I just wanted to
say thank you. Guys have been great the last couple
of days, and you guys are legendary.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Buddha.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Buddha was supposed to bring me a bottle of sea smoke.
He didn't bring that up, but before I leave, I
was hoping to get a bottle of one of my
favorite ones. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 13 (25:31):
Hey Dan, happy to meet Friday Nobody. Congratulations on your
family feud victory. But had a special moment with the
family during the watch party last night after y'all won
and did your what looked like the Kansas City Chiefs
ring around the rosie Is celebration against the raters. Little
missus David in Ohio, expecting, did a little bit of movement,
(25:56):
and mom's and my wife's belly moved around and kick
and that was a big special moment for that. So
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you all right, Thank you, David. We just give
back to the community. Sheldon in Texas, Hi, Sheldon, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
How you today?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Good? Good?
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Sheldon. Nice just call up and ask me how I'm doing.
Nobody does that?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, not as much as they used to or should.
Adam in Indiana, Hi, Adam.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
Hey, guys five eleven still two o three. Just wanted
to congratulate you guys on your Family Foud victory. My
family loves your show. We love watching the Family Fud together.
We had our nephew over last night watching it and
our two year old was clapping, which, by the way,
we've taught him to say blueloop, so I know you
appreciate that. No, no ABC's yet, but blootloops there. And
(26:56):
also it's on my bucket list. Sunday's my birthday. I'd
love to get a awesome birthday song from you guys.
Speaker 9 (27:02):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Have a good day, Happy birthday, a couple of days early,
Happy birthday. That'd be a great weekend. All right, did
we have a poll question for the final hour of
the program. See, we've had a whole question up the
entire day.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Okay, would you rather get cheers as an athlete or
laughs as a comic?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (27:26):
Right now, cheers as an athlete is.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
About fifty eight percent of the vote.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Okay, that's interesting, Yeah, because almost universally we said laughs
as a comic. But that might just be because we're
doing this, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, I think getting laughs if that's your job, like
your job is not to get cheers but a comedian's
job is to get laughter.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, poue.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
I saw an interview with David Spade, the comedian years ago.
He said the tough part about it being comedian compared
to like a musician. Let's say you're a musician, you
have like six or seven hits. You could just play
them for the rest of your life in concert and
fill it in with other songs. If you're a comedian,
you have a couple of hits sets. You can't do
them twenty years later. They're not repurposable. You do them
for like a certain amount of time.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Uh, Nate in Utah, Hi Nate, thanks for holding.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Hey Dan, Hey Dan, good morning.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
Hey.
Speaker 15 (28:17):
I just wanted to talk about the late Frank Layton.
He just passed away a couple of days ago. Just
an amazing Utah, you know. And if it wasn't for him,
Larry Miller, so like Utah Jazz is probably be in
Las Vegas right now. So I just wanted to say that,
and I appreciate you guys. Have been listening to you
guys for fourteen years thirty two and make my morning
(28:38):
a heck of a lot better.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Thank you, Nate.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Frank Layden funny man, good Man, always entertaining. Got a
chance to spend time with him, and he was he
was always on. He was character ninety three years of age.
I'll sign him for that.
Speaker 12 (28:54):
Yes, Marvin, he was big on those NBA entertainment bloopers
and all that. Yeah, he was always first team. He
always had a great line or two. Was he there
with Marv Albert? Did they do those blooper videos?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I think yeah, he was fun good Man.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Yeah, Paulin a lot of people who didn't get to
see Celebrity Family Feud last night, if they didn't tape it,
they're asking how can they see it? There's there a replay.
You could see it on Hulu. I just got a
note from someone at Family Feud on Hulu dot com
or I don't know the details, but if you go
to Hulu, it's already up there. You can watch it
on demand.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Okay, Yeah, we taped about an hour's worth of content
and then they cut it down to twenty two minutes.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And when you watch it, I mean they it's rapid fire.
It's edited in a way.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
But you know what you don't see obviously is there'll
be breaks and Steve Harvey goes out to the audience
and does stand up for like ten minutes. And I
mean those audience came to see Steve Harvey and he
puts on a show, and he's got that look. Whenever
you give a goofy answer or something, he'll give you
that look to the camera.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
We got a couple of those, and I thought I was.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Going to get one when I said that Fritzy does
his Steve Harvey impersonation. But he acknowledged that, Fritzy, he
accepted it and thought that, you know, the effort. He
appreciated the effort. I think that's what he was big upon.
All right, we'll take a break here, last call for
phone calls.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
What we learn?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
What's in store for Monday, this day in sports history,
and it is a meat Friday, even though it is
a thirty seven local. It's a kind of a late
breakfast or brunch, early lunch, something like that. If you're
watching on Peacock you'll see the menu. We're back after
this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
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 (30:45):
The food supplied by the chefs who work at the
golf course and they're busy today this weekend. But man,
they gave us brisket. We got this barbecue chicken is awesome.
So thank you for all the hospitality here in Lake Tahoe.
The people who came out fans of the show got
(31:06):
an opportunity to say lo to a lot of you,
and we plan on coming back next year.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Yes, Paul, this place is just paradise. Edwood and the
courses like this up against the water. The backdrop looks
like a Bob Ross painting. It's just gorgeous and the
sun comes up. It's just kind of place you could
spend your all weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
True security is having a system that's proactive, not reactive,
simply safe design to stop crying before it starts. There
is no safe like simply safe. All right, See if
we can get a couple more phone calls in here,
Matt and Ohio. Hi Matt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (31:37):
Hey Dan? Thanks six four five.
Speaker 14 (31:41):
I just wanted to talk about family feud last night.
Speaker 16 (31:44):
It was so fun to watch you guys win, but
the most fun part for me was listening to my
two kids as you guys came on. My son's like,
that's the talk radio guy.
Speaker 14 (31:55):
And my daughter's like, no.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
That's the guy from the water Tower and grown ups.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
That's okay, just as long as I'm remembered for whatever
it is. But thank you, Matt Uh Chase in Oregon,
Hi Chase, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Danny Chase?
Speaker 16 (32:16):
Hey, I got a good friend here, uh, sitting next
to me, and he wants to congratulate you on family feud.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Okay, Dan Man, Dan, Hey, it's coach prime Man. It's
de sand that's how you doing.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, thank you, thank you Chase.
Speaker 11 (32:35):
Uh, that's a little like, uh, what's the impression Todd does?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
That sounds exactly like Todd Uh Donald Trump? Oh right,
he does Donald Trump. He just moves his hands. But
he's like, yeah, see it's me.
Speaker 11 (32:45):
I'm doing the Donald Trump impression, right, get it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Nathan and san Antonio, Hi, Nate, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Oh man?
Speaker 17 (32:54):
I always come up after the weirdest called.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Was all.
Speaker 17 (33:01):
I want to honor qualcom here today. Of course, you
guys had the Barkley on and then we had the
passing of Frank Lady. So I want to ask you,
is Barkley is the last of the characters that we
have in sports.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
No, because I mean Pat McAfee's a character, Stephen A.
Smith's a character. I mean, Charles is just unique. And
thanks for the phone call. We were talking about this earlier.
I saw a column in the Washington Post where they
were very critical of John McEnroe. And there are a
lot of people who love John McEnroe as an analyst.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
But what happens.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I think with a lot of analysts when they first
start out as an analyst, they're not that far removed
from actually playing. So you're so up on technology, terminology, rosters, coaches,
all of that, and then the further away you get,
you may not put in the time, but you have
to put in the time. And the column in the
(34:01):
Washington Post was kind of saying that John McEnroe doesn't
do his homework anymore. He knows tennis, but does he
know the tennis players. Charles doesn't necessarily know the NBA anymore,
but he's entertaining. He's honest with you. He'd be like,
I got to watch this game tonight, and I don't
want to watch it. There are times when he doesn't
know the players in March Badness, or he doesn't know
(34:23):
guys on rosters in the NBA, but he's still like
he's given a Hall pass with that. I don't know
if there's another analyst who could get by saying, hey,
I don't know what I'm talking about, or this product
is boring, but we accept Charles kind of he's in
a vacuum. There's nobody like that that you say, hey,
it's okay if he doesn't know. It's funny that he
(34:44):
doesn't know. But we would never let somebody else off
the hook that way. Yeah, Mark, I think lately Stephen A.
Speaker 12 (34:52):
Smith he's got that pass because he's so valuable to
the network.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
But he's not trying to make a mistake, like he
truly thinks that he knows the Knick's roster and then
he makes a mistake.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
But he's stretched so thin. But once again, you got
to put in the time.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
You know, I don't know as much baseball as I
once did, maybe as much basketball, or as much football,
because when you grow up you're a fan, you're consuming everything.
Now it's a job and there's so much. I have
to know a little bit about a lot and a
lot about a little and that's the challenge. But the
older you get, when you're doing this, you probably put
(35:31):
in less time, or you're less enthusiastic about a sport
or a player or a moment.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Yeah, Paul, And the thing about Barkley, what you said
is he admits it. He'll say I'm not watching the
Atlanta Hawks tomorrow night. He doesn't try to, you know,
the Atlanta Hawks power forward blah blah blah, and make
something up.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
He I'm not watching them.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
And people like the refreshing honesty.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
But you can't get away that with any other sport,
any other analysts. I mean, if Chris Collins were said, hey,
I don't know who Kansas City's running backs are.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Like kid get get killed?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Or you know, even Wayne Gretzky has gotten criticized because
even though he's the great one, does he know today's
player players, rosters? And I think that's you know, as
a fan, you want to make sure they know what
they're talking about because you care what they're talking about.
You care, you know what their opinion is going to
(36:22):
be about Matthew Kuchuk, you know. But that goes along
with the territory. But it did stand out that McEnroe
got roughed up in this Washington Post column but saying
that he doesn't do his homework.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yes, yeah, you can. As a fan, you can.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
You can really pinpoint and get so much information on
very specific areas of your sport. Now more than ever
you know you can be. You can be so hyper
informed on things. At the minute somebody says one thing,
even ten degrees off, you're like, this guy, don't know
what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Well, stats are so readily available. You can get all
of this information. You can get all the information that
an analyst can get if you look for it.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
You can get that.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
And let's face it, sports fans, that's why we do
what we do. We love your passion and if we
do make a mistake, you usually called us on that.
But there are times you make a mistake and it's
a small mistake, but in your world it might be huge.
Like how could you not know Benito Santiago's batting average?
This actually came up the other once again, my nightlife
(37:28):
in Lake Tahoe has not been that exciting. So when
I you know, I had a conversation with somebody about
Benito Santiago. I thought he led the league in a
hitting and I said, I think he batted three thirty eight.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I think I got that right, but I didn't get the.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
He won the batting title there, So yeah, just a
little snapshot of how exciting my nightlife has been here
in Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 11 (37:50):
Yes, that's actually why this show has prepared, or, like
I say, me so well for something like celebrity family feud,
because I've said so many stupid things on this show,
and I've done so many stupid things that truly were embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
That I was mortified.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
That's like, oh my god, I'm so stupid that I've
had eighteen years of getting used to that that I
was like, there's nothing I can do in celebrity family
feud that's going to embarrass me more than I probably
already embarrassed myself.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
So just have fun. Are you checking Benito Santiago's batting average?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Ball?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Of course I did, That's what I do.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I think it's three thirty eight that he batted, yes,
and he did not win the title. Yeah good. Yeah,
I think that was his second or third year in
the league.
Speaker 17 (38:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
I mean, these are the kind of things that we
talk about when we go out to dinner. How about
this day in sports history?
Speaker 6 (38:32):
Paul Right, I Q Ston O'Connor nineteen fourteen, Babe Ruth
debuted in the major leagues for the Red Sox. It
was always a Babe Ruth. There's always a Nolan Ryan.
He got four thousand strikeouts on this day. And then
bonus covered. Bo Jackson signed a contract to play for
the La Raiders for five years. He was also under
contract to play for the Kansas City Royals.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I was watching a little bit of this game that
the Yankees were being no hit and Brian wu he
was no hitting them in the eighth inning, and the
Yankees came back and won that six' five in ten.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Innings, day dag. Day let me see what else DO i? Have,
oh here's.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
One this doesn't make sense if you if you think
of the everybody's swinging for home, runs well maybe this
does make sense to. People do you realize how many
teams have been shut out this? Year how many times
has somebody thrown a shutout In Major League? Baseball this
is the total shutouts in baseball so far this. Season
(39:31):
i'll go one, Twenty marvin eighty, One seaton, eleven two
hundred and. Seven this is the second most shutouts prior
to The All Star.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Break since nineteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
THREE i don't know what it, means because you got,
pitchers but it's by. Committee you don't have aces. Anymore
but everybody throws. Hard speaking of which the, Athletics Mason,
miller he threw one oh four point, one the fastest
(40:08):
pitch Since Ben joyce threw one oh five point. Five last.
Year miller threw five pitches of at least one hundred
and two point four miles per. Hour, dang there have
been seventy recorded pitches of that speed and he's thrown
forty four of them this. Season my thanks to all
