North Carolina’s not the job it used to be, as coaches seem more interested in using the school as a threat to get bigger deals from their existing schools rather than treating the Tarheels like a blue blood job. Dan gets name-dropped in a song. “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri joins the show to brag about his position in the DP Celebrity Bracket Challenge.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this championship Monday. One shining moment coming
up tonight? Will it be for Connecticut six and a
half point underdogs or Michigan, although Michigan kind of feels
like an underdog from the standpoint of the basketball program. Also,
the Big Ten not winning championships. It's been a long time,
(00:25):
couple of decades since we've had a Big Ten title team,
well except for UCLA winning the women's championship eight seven
to seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
our Twitter handle at TP show Coast to Coast on
Tuesday Night. Hornet Hornets in the Celtics, Rockets in the
Suns on NBC, and Peacock Playoffs coming to NBC in Peacocks.
(00:49):
Starting April nineteenth, I watched a lot of Cooper Flag
against the Lakers. He goes for fifty one on Friday
and then turns around and goes for four forty five
last night in a win against the depleted Lakers. First
teenager with consecutive forty point games and the last time
we had a rookie with consecutive forty point games was
(01:12):
nineteen ninety seven, Marvin, would you like to guess Allen Iverson?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Bloop Bloop?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Alan Iverson nineteen ninety seven, But it's Oh WHOA. Brought
to you by Pandi America, the official trading cards of
the program. Say good morning if you're watching on Peacock
or NBC Sports Network, download the app if you haven't
done so. We say good morning to our radio affiliates,
(01:43):
iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio as well. What happens to
Dan Hurley's legacy if he would win his third title
in the last four years and as an underdog going
against Michigan. Michigan has dominated everybody they play, kind of
like you cla women dominated everybody that they played. But
(02:03):
now you win three in four years. That's John Woodn't like.
And you're doing it with different players.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Coach Wooden had guys who stayed all four years. Had
two of the greatest, if not the greatest college basketball
players of all time, Bill Walton and lou Al Sindor.
Now lou wasn't eligible his freshman year. Bill wasn't eligible
his freshman year. But they had so much talent. But
you had guys Gail Goodrich, Wold Hazard. These guys were staying,
(02:33):
Marcus Johnson, Richard Washington, these guys were staying their entire careers,
Mike Warren, Lucius Allen. Now it's different. I mean your
rosters are changing. Now you can bring in good players
that are transferring in. But imagine if your coach wouldn't
and you show up at practice and you go.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Oh, look who's back this year.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Lou al Sindor because lou would be a one and done.
I don't know if Bill Walton would be a one
and done because I think Bill was so caught up
in being coached by John Wooden. I think the academic
portion of UCLA was very intriguing to Bill Walton, So
he might be a different person. But if you're showing
(03:18):
up and you got the same players, coach Krzyszewski, when
you show up and you go, I got Hurley and Latoner,
all right, Oh we were going to throw in Grant Hill.
He's going to stay for a couple of years. This
is challenging nil portal and you know what, he kind
(03:38):
of relies on getting one great player McDonald's all American
and then he kind of fills in the area.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Yeah, Pauline remember Jordan Hawkins, the Great Guard. Just a
couple of years ago. He was a sophomore for Yukon
Great Series, then goes to the NBA. The guy was
a lot on it. Tonight is Yukon forward Els Caravan.
If he wins his third title in four years, he'd
be the only player who didn't go to UCLA.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
To do that. Okay, yeah, seton.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Yeah, I mean I feel like you can not only
do they have turnover year to year, but like high turnover,
they lose important key players, starters to the NBA Draft
each year. So to keep that championship culture, Yeah, I
mean that's one hundred percent the coach.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But he also loses a great assistant coach in Luke Murray.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
That's the thing right now. That is a big loss.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You can lose players, but man, you I don't know
if people give Luke Murray. I mean, he's always going
to be known as Bill Murray's son, but he's also
a really good, offensive minded coach. And now he goes
to BC. That's a big loss. That that's a bigger
loss than a player.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that they expected to lose him sooner.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Yeah, and maybe getting another year out of him was
like a major coup, but that next year should look significantly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And I did wonder about this, and maybe it's a stretch,
but I do think so much of Luke Murray did
North Carolina? Were they interested in Luke Murray? Now you
can say, well, he doesn't have head coaching experience. Well,
Tommy Lloyd went from Gonzaga to Arizona. Hubert Davis didn't happen,
(05:22):
and maybe that's where they're going. We didn't need to
get somebody who's got head coaching experience. But I wonder
North Carolina. I mean, this is what tells you about
your program when you got coaches that go, nah, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I'm gonna use that situation.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
To get a better deal and not go to North
Carolina because when you go into you already know who
your your friends and enemies are. No if you're at
Alabama or you're at Arizona, Okay, I already know the
characters here. Now, those two coaches got similar deals that
they wanted to make sure they didn't have to answer
(06:01):
it anybody. So Natoates and and Tommy Lloyd, they and
I thought that that was the sticking point at Arizona.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
If he was gonna leave.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It was because he and the administration, from what I
was told, had to disconnect. But you're gonna make him
one of the top five paid coaches they get their talent.
You got to a final four, he did. He did
finalize the deal before they got blown out by Michigan.
I don't know if that mattered in the leverage here,
(06:32):
and now it feels like, are they getting Billy Donovan?
And if you get Billy Donovan, okay, you can save
face because you know, it starts to feel like the
Penn State situation with James Franklin and Paulie brought this
up last hour, and you're right, it's like this is
a great job, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
Isn't it?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
But if you're gonna get Matt Campbell, okay, okay, all right,
other coaches didn't want to go. Maybe it's not as
coveted as you think, but you can save face. But
you're bringing in a coach who's very similar in kind
of his career, and.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know his one loss record.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I believe, no, he's not dealing with the talent at
Iowa State or that he's gonna deal with at Penn State.
But if you're North Carolina. It almost it almost feels
like they should have stayed with Hubert Davis. I don't know,
is it that bad?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Smart? But maybe coaches are thinking the same thing they
thought about Penn State, Like wait, this guy with eleven
and two and they fired him. Same thing with North
Carolina with Hubert Davis, Like we went twenty four and
six and they fired him. Why would I want to
go there?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I already got my T shirt ready. If Dan Hurley
wins the national title, I have the letter I co nn.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh, well done, thank you?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Kon what do you think mark that bad boy Todd
trade market right now?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I'm want to talk to my legal team. I see oh.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yes, yes, to which begs the question to me.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
We were talking about his legacy or what this means
if he wins another one tonight. How would you describe
Dan early now? Is he legendary or iconic or not?
Just yet he's just an outstanding coach? How would we
what words to be well?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Sue is great. Billy Donovan, you know, went into the
Hall of Fame. Now he was a very good player
of Providence, but he's going in because he won back
to back titles at Florida, Yes, mar In.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
The big difference is Billy Donovan had Corey Brewer, Al
Horford and Joe kim No he had three lottery picks.
You I'm not sure if we got any lottery picks
maybe besides Mullins.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That a Mullins is going to be a lottery pick
because of his age. Teams are going to take him
now and then let him kind of simmer a little bit,
develop a little bit and it'll be like, you know,
Reed Shepherd with the rockets, because I remember watching him
in college and he had the game like that ability
(09:03):
to you know, he could get off the bounce as
they say, he could get his you know, jumper. But
you know he's small. Now you're still watching him and
he's smallest guy on the floor. But he can play.
He's athletic. Mullins is a great shooter. He's got size,
he'll fill out. People are going to make the comparison
with Conkinipple Kank Nipples a man like he's built. If
(09:25):
you look at him at Duke, he's not skinny and
therefore you know he's almost got that Luca kind of
build or you know in the embryonic stages of Hey,
I can have guys bounce off me and create a
little bit of separation. But Conk Nipple can shoot. He's
(09:45):
proven that he is an elite shooter. Mullins is expected
to be an elite shooter. And you know he's too
up and down right now. But you know he's a freshman.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Yeah, Pauli Canipple has baby face syndrome, just like Steph
Curry had. He looks younger than he is because they
their face and Mullins has the same thing. He looks
really young.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
But I think you'll be a lottery pick.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Just because you want to get that kid, and you
get him now and then by two in two years
from now, you're like, oh, okay, I don't think he's
a kid who you know, it'd be a great team
and they're probably going to have one of the five
worst records Indiana Pacers. Keep him in Indiana, let him
(10:35):
sit for a little while. That's a team that will
come back as a good team. They've been terrible. They
didn't have Halliburton. But how about Mullins to India?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yes, smart ah, No, It's it's hard because this is
such a deep draft and you have a you know,
guys like Da Banza and Boozer in there.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
So well, let's say he's let's say the Pacers have
the ninth pick in the draft.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So would I take him top five?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
No? Would I take him top ten at the back
end of nine or ten? Yeah, I'd consider that. But
Indiana has the fifth.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Worst record right now, I think I think third, third worst.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Working hard for the first new.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Poll questions, See do we have one for the final
hour of this program?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Yeah, we got three of them up there right now
we have well, of course, who are you rooting for?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
We got to get the nation on record.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Of course, right now, sixty one percent rooting for Michigan
expanding the NCAA tournament further beyond sixty eight teams. Is
greedyan and unnecessary, fantastic more teams or it doesn't matter.
I'm watching. These are from Todd. Greedy and unnecessary currently
has eighty two percent.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Of that vote. That is wild.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
And we also have up there tonight Michigan wins a
titwe Michigan dominates. Same thing for Yukon. Michigan dominating has
fifty percent of that vote. Oh yeah, Michigan buy six
and a half a statement win.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's one of those where you kind of go wow
because I'm watching and I kept waiting for something. Arizona
my Wildcats and uh, same old Wildcats. I thought, okay,
this is the year because if I didn't pick them,
then I knew they were going to win the title.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
So I'm like, all right, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Think they're the best team, or if they are, it's
really close with Michigan. I mean, there are times I
watch Michigan and it felt like an NBA team. They
might be older than what's the youngest team? Well, ok see,
Michigan's team might be older than Oklahoma City Thunder or
at least it's close because they got some older guys there.
(12:52):
Let me see Chris in Riverside. Hi, Chris, what's on
your mind today? Oh, Chris is gone? Aaron in California?
Good morning, Aaron, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Good morning, gentlemen. I'd like to share a quick best
and worst of the weekend and also an important fact
about Courteruroys. Okay, hey you said it. You know that's
of the weekend. Statement win for UCLA for the women's side,
Amazing win for those ladies. Congratulations, I'm the worst. How
can we not be talking about Gino Ariana coming after
(13:26):
Don Staley in the most pathetic show of fragile egos,
syndrome and poor sportsmanship with no consequences. If that had
been Don Saley, people would be calling for her hands.
So I think we should be acknowledging how poor that was.
But my important fact about corduroys, gentlemen, I heard stripes
this morning. Hey, I might be dating myself, but corduroys
(13:47):
are called whale w a l e as in narrow
whale or wide whale. So Dan is a fan.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
I thought you might like to know that, ooka.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think Paully said that when he first realized that
I had a corduroy problem.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I love hepperdast ray.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, and my daughters want to have a corduroy intervention,
and I was like, you mean I need more.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I'll take more corduroy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, the geno thing. We talked about it in the
first hour of the program. I mean, I was embarrassed
for him, and I don't know what they're going to
do to him. I mean, I think the damage is
done to him by himself. Season's over. I don't know.
Does his hurt recruiting. I just wish he would have
(14:33):
mentioned Don Staley's name in the apology, mention her name
or it doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't mean anything.
And maybe even if he mentions Don's name, it doesn't
mean anything. It's just you don't play with Don Staley, Gino.
That resume unapproachable. But that's what's surprising. Act like that,
(14:58):
act like the greatest coach in the game. Nothing's given
to you. You know that you built this program. But
when you act entitled like he did, people are gonna
come after you.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I don't like Don Staley saying what she said about Hey,
I'm gonna beat his ass, like you know, that's not good.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Not good.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
If because it was the other way and Gino said that,
then you know Sky would be falling. I wanted her
to be more professional as well. But he started this
the handshake. She shook everybody's hand prior to the game,
the scorer's table. If she was late, is that like Gino?
(15:48):
It felt like that bothered him more than the way
his team played. That's the problem. I have focus on
your team. He focused on her and she out coached. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Mean part of me is like it's the Sometimes it's
the reaction, not the first incident. You know, uh, that
that gets the most trouble. It's definitely an embarrassing moment
for kind of for everybody involved. I'm curious to know
how long that stain stays. Well, you know, the next
time they play. Now, if you're college basketball, what's the
(16:25):
first game you want next year?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
You open the season the Handshake Classic All State?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yes, you're in good hands shakes, Yes, Marvin is there
you hand you hand out the first hand shake?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You got jokes, but yes, I'm here.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Sorry? Sorry? Sorry? The teams are gonna face South Carolina
yukon November twenty fourth, twenty twenty six, at Mohegan Sun

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah, but you picked Yukon.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I was just trying to pick somebody that I knew
could win.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, you were gonna pick Connecticut. Did you pick Connecticut
last year?
Speaker 11 (18:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
For sure year and the year before that. You make
it seem like you're some great prognosticator.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I mean by all accounts, I am this year.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Yes, PAULI see there's a lot of upside for Marvin though.
By picking with your heart, if they win, you get
the double win with the Yukon fan.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
By the way, we were wondering if my name has
ever been name checked in a rap song, and I
guess there's somebody named Benny the Butcher and he mentions
my name in a free I.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Wouldn't hold them.
Speaker 13 (19:02):
As soon as they told me you can't happen Roussell
to set the ball highest Builders in Manhattan. Me, I'm
on ESPN like I'm Damn Patrick, and my chef Hanker
stretch just like mister fantastics.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
All right, well, thank you, Benny. I love that. I
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's that's courtesy of a DJ Clue freestyle one power
one oh five.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Point one New York City. I like that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, maybe we get Benny the Butcher to call in
give me give me that one more time there, Mark.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
I wouldn't hold them as soon as they told me
you can't happen Roussell to set the ball highest builders
in Manhattan. Me I'm on ESPN like I'm Damn Patrick,
my chef Hanker stretch just like mister Fantastics.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All right, I like that is Guy Fieri with us
time Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, mister Michigan Wolverine, Guy
Fiery joining us on the program. How did you come
about picking Michigan there, Guy.
Speaker 14 (19:56):
Well, not only am I, you know, great cooking, a
curator of fantastic tequila, but uh, I really have a
fantastic profile and awareness of everything that goes on in
the NCAA men's basketball. That's not true. Actually I have
a ringer. I have my son Writer. Actually I've got
I've got writer that I just woke up and shit,
(20:19):
get up early.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
But Writer.
Speaker 14 (20:22):
Writer goes to San Diego State and works for San
Diego State basketball and heart broke in that they didn't
make the tournament.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
But uh, you know, an amazing team. So I went
to Rider.
Speaker 14 (20:33):
I gotta be honest with you and Writer, that's my
favorite thing about watching basketball is watching it with him
because he can break it all down for me. As
soon as he told me that you know, he wasn't
doing good and something with school, I'm like, look at
it like you look at basketball, and you're going to
do great. So he helped me with my bracket. But uh,
after that Yukon game, after that Duke Yukon game, I'm like, Wow,
this is getting out of control. And then that Michigan
(20:55):
stopping that that happened with with az I turned. I mean,
I've always watched as all the way through because you
never know. But yeah, that's all right, buddy. I'd love
to take the credit for this.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, Marvin, who's one of the dan Ets went to Connecticut.
If Connecticut wins, he wins the Celebrity Bracket challenge. If
Michigan wins, you win. Now, I don't know if there's
anything we can really give you, but we can ask
for something if Connecticut wins. If you're in the area,
(21:27):
the Tri state area, Marvin could be in an episode
where he's seated at a table where you go, oh,
Marvin from the Dan Patrick Show, So what do you
think about that? And then if there's something that we
could give to you. If Michigan wins, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Think that this has to happen. Regardless, we will make
this come to a reality.
Speaker 14 (21:48):
Okay, where and when we do this, I'm not sure,
but there will have to be a passing of the
gauntlet of who wins and who.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Has to pay the price.
Speaker 14 (21:58):
I mean, I'm not getting into that crazy uh you know,
the fantasy football stuff where someone's got to dress up
and go to the mall.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm not quite ready for that, but I.
Speaker 14 (22:07):
Am ready for if I which I don't believe that
I'm going to get knocked out. I believe that Michigan,
after what we've seen Michigan do uh this season and
especially through this tournament.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm saying the right things, right, writer, right, all right?
So if this goes the way.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
That uh I have read the stars, I will be
prepared to deliver a beautiful signed bottle of Santo tequila
UH and present it to him and take my beating.
If he loses. I don't know, Dan, you tell me
what he gets. What does he get to pluck off
of his desk that he has to give me?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I will have your son on the show as a guest.
How about that?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
There you go, writer, if we win, if your pick wins,
you go on the show. That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
All right, that's it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think that's a fair trade. Yeah, we're all fired
up for this. Rider and I and Rider one hundreds,
Laurie and I went.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
To the finals down in uh, where we go Arizona.
That was the coolest. I mean, I've been to a
ton of sporting events, but to see them take a
stadium and then fill in that whole stadium with all
those floor seats and then put that basketball court in
the center of it, and to watch the game. I'm
so bummed that we're not there to go see it,
(23:30):
but it is. It was one of the best sporting.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Events I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But you went to UNLV when the running Rebels were
at UNLV, correct, that was another.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
That was another level you get to take little UNLV
in nineteen ninety is actually the year I graduated, and
you know, we got great tickets. That was you know,
there was this team that was just coming out of nowhere.
I mean not really, I mean Tarcanian had been building it.
But we used to get awesome seats, like you know,
sitting right on the floor, just spending what the lottery
was of what's your fraternity or you know, how you
picked it. But then all of a sudden, here we
(24:01):
are ranked number one. I remember that morning of going
and seeing the gigantic number one that they built in
the you know, in the front driveway of the school
and yeah. It was for a little school like UNLV
at that time to be going as big it was.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It was an amazing time.
Speaker 14 (24:16):
And I remember when we won, it was chaos. So
it's it's something I appreciate. I didn't appreciate the next year,
but I appreciate it so and I wouldn't say that
I'm you know, Duke losing.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
You know, okay, you didn't mind that.
Speaker 14 (24:34):
Rider used to terrorize me when when he was a
kid and told me all through his elementary school and
because you've been a basketball fan forever, played great competitive
basketball through high school on.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That, but he always used to tell me that he
wanted to go to Duke Hunter.
Speaker 14 (24:47):
I went to UNLV, My oldest son, Hunter went to UNLV,
and Riders now taunting me with he's going to go
to Duke.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So San Diego State was a happy medium.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
How are you feeling like a million bucks?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm up and rolling.
Speaker 14 (25:03):
Oh from my leg injury? Yeah, oh yeah, that was
a that was not good. I had this crazy explosion
of my quad muscle in the center of my leg,
right in the center, not down at the knee, not
up to hit, but right the center and exploded and
they came and sewed it back together.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
And you know, me.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
Being sequestered to a wheelchair and crutches for in a
cast for eight weeks was horrible, but I survived it
and I'm back.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
But what doing an injury?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
What did your quad look like? Food wise?
Speaker 14 (25:37):
As the as the surgeon said, Guy, I haven't seen
this in twenty years, and I'm going to be trying
to sew together ground beef and ground beef. He said,
you have blown this muscle up in the center of
your leg. He says, so we're going to put this
back together. He goes, you really have to stay off.
I mean he put the fear and he goes, unless
you want to be back here going through this again,
(26:00):
don't move that muscle. And I'm like, oh, so really,
And I had I was filming a show in the
middle of this, and if I didn't finish the show,
all my crew was going to go away with no
Christmas money. And so we figured out a way to
put me in the wheelchair. And then when it was
time for my scene this new show that we're doing
called Flavortown Food Fight, and so I would get out
of the wheelchair stand there next to a park bench
(26:22):
or something or whole.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
A street sign and try to bump.
Speaker 14 (26:26):
We made it crew And after I got done with
the shoot, and that was two weeks of that, and
I was fresh out of surgery, only two days out
of surgery, and.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
The doctor was just pissed. He's like, I do all
this work and you're gonna go back to what's got
to do? You know that play hurt?
Speaker 5 (26:40):
But were you skiing?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
No, I was listen. I was fighting DP, I was
fighting ninjas. I tried to make up like really good
stories about what happened. Now now I was walking out
of my trailer and going.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
To the set to show my god.
Speaker 14 (26:57):
It just started to rain and brand new easy boots
on that I hadn't scuffed up.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
The bottom hit that first step. One leg went all
the way down the stairs.
Speaker 14 (27:06):
The other leg got caught behind me on the threshold
and it popped. I mean, I've broken a lot of
things and had injuries, but this went off like a
gun and I was shot. And the nurse came over.
The EMT came over and looked at my leg and
she goes, I got I'm fine, I'm fine, Just you know,
I'm fine. I just pulled my muscle she goes, no,
(27:27):
you have a huge divot in your leg where your
muscle used to be, because you need to go to
the hospital. I went to the hospital and the doctor's like, yeah,
we have to do surgery now. He said, like, now,
can I go back to work?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
So yeah, it was It was interesting.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
So I have tons of appreciation and understanding for all
these athletes to go through these horrific injuries and then
they have a timeline to get themselves back.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
PT is no fun. PT's worse than the injury.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
All right, big night tonight. So any parting words for
Marvin and his yukon of Huskies.
Speaker 14 (28:00):
Marvin, I think that you have watched every game, probably
more diligently than I have. I mean, and I don't
know that you get writers, crib notes, writers always delivering.
Did you see the game last night? And then he
gives me that rundown of what happened. I got to say,
after that Arizona game, and we saw it, we saw it.
Take it away from and you look at how they
(28:21):
crushed Tennessee. You look at just how I mean they had.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
These gigantic sixteen point leads throughout the tournament. There's just so.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
Many things that are showing this and I don't know
what the Vegas line is right now. I should as
a Vegas guy, but I'm going to look forward to
writer being a guest on the Dan Patrick. So this
would be fantastic and I'll send DP when I win.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I'll send you the bottle of tequila Repisoto.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
If you can't, without question.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Matt, maybe I'll just send the whole portfolio.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
That'd be nice on the Jaho.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
You know. Yeah, we'll make sure because I just need
a spot on the desk somewhere. But yeah, just for
Writer's Day. But now it's going to be hopefully it's
going to be a great I want to see a
great game. I think everybody does. But now and I'm
glad that is there gonna be a wall of fame.
Speaker 14 (29:06):
Anything that when the celebrity listed, because I filled that
out my hand.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
By the way, do you see that?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No, I got it, I got it, I got you,
I got it. Here, man, you're asking for an awful lot.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
This is a big win at the Fetty House.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
What.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I don't know what, Marvin, but DP, I'm taking a
bottle of tequila and I'm bringing it to the show
wherever he's at Oh I'm crashing it. Oh my yukon't
get on and all that. Diners Driving and Domination for Yukon.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Whoa, whoa. He just renamed my show Diners Driving and Domination.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
All right, Well we're on, all right. Uh, we'll talk
to you soon. Good guys, Thank you, Guy Fieri. Diner's
driving some dimes. Man, he works. I got to see
him when he was in Connecticut and he did like
three or four restaurants in a day.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
And man it is for anetic pace. Yeah, Paul, this
is a perfect bet.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Marvin's gonna win either way.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, that's true. All right, let me take a break.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
What we learn?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What's in store tomorrow? Reggie Millard Tomorrow? Jay billis to
react off the National title game. Hey feeling Marvin?
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I feel good, little nervous. That second game made me
real nervous.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Man.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
They look like club or laying at the beginning of
Rocky three.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
But this is where you hope that Michigan will act
the way South Carolina did. South Carolina's national title was
beating Connecticut the women's team, and now you had Michigan
in Arizona that was supposed to be for the national
time idol. So maybe they feel like they already won
their national title.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yes, mar and Arizona waited twenty five years to get
to the final four, and that's what they do.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
This day in sports history, Paul.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I just got two for you, Dan. Eighteen ninety six,
the first modern Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece. And
this was a great fight. I don't think the right
guy got the call. Nineteen eighty seven, Sugar Ray Leonard
took the middleweight title from Marvin Hagler.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Great fight.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, that's when Hagler said, Hey, he might have hit
me with more punches, but those punches didn't do anything
to me. That's one of those technical wins where you just, hey,
I hit him. I connected with more punches than he did.
By the way, the first marathon, how do they decide
(31:48):
the length of the first marathon? Was it just when
he was running and then he did. He die at
the very end, and that was the end of the marathon.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Called it Greek mythology or something, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But was it like whatever his name was, was it
Nike or yes, Todd? Oh?
Speaker 9 (32:06):
You let them all run and the last one that
didn't collapse altogether is the last one standing.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
That's exactly how many miles it becomes.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yes point.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
According to Greek mythology, is a marathon means like the
person that was delivering.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Oh, he was named marathon.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Yeah, and there is it's a messenger that goes between
two different towns. And the two towns were the distance
twenty six point two miles.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Okay, iady, that's what I already learned.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
On this day.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The first designated hitter in baseball history Ron Bloomberg. He
walked on five pitches against Louis Tiant of the Red Signs.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Yes see he could go back in history. Would you
undo the designated hitter?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But the American League was trying to get more offense
into its game, and that's why they had the DH. Yeah,
designated hitter.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Not A fan can either play the field or you
can come on, can be one dimensional. Even Luca's got
to play the other end of the floor.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
They's got to be there. Technically, he's got to be
on the other side of it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Hey, Frank Thomas was out at first base. He probably
shouldn't have been. And she'll like it too.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
I had to show he's not more than a big
bat whoa big glove.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Yes, And what little kid would aspire to be a
DH someday? Don't you want to go out in the
field in the sun and the grass the worst son?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I'd like to be a professional baseball player?
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Dad? Well, well, no, just a DH dad. Oh okay,
that kid always played first base. Whoever's going to right field?
That kid right field?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Although growing up in Major League baseball, your right fielder
was normally your best fielder. But when you were growing up,
when you're young, your right fielder is where you try
to tuck somebody away because you didn't have that many
left handed bats.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
If best athlete is in center or short stop, short
stop is the coach's son. Yeah, yeah, there's a whole
rule on how all of this goes.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Catcher, you already know when somebody shows up, how they
look you go, yep, you're a catcher kid.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
You're either on first or catching, which is it? Yes, yes, Dodd.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
Not that I was a great field but I did
notice at a young age that if you're a lefty,
forget about playing shortstop, third base, even second base, because
you got to make that turn to throw the ball
with your left hand. And that's could be the difference
between a lot of runers being safer out.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
At first little no fact, think you do you blame
that because there's there's fewer places for left handers to play.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Well, it was that then, and then every time the
coach would hit it to me when I tried the
other positions, it would just hit off my arm or
my ankle and would go through my legs.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
So I realized it, it's just catch the ball at
first pa.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I played against the left handed catcher and it's weird.
And he was drafted by the Reds. I think I
mentioned Marlon Styles. I think was his name, Marlon Styles.
Back in the seventies, he was a left handed catcher.
I don't know if he ever progressed out of single
a ball, but Marlin Styles, y spoony.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
Yeah, I got Marlin Styles I found it on Baseball Reference.
He played in the minors for four different seasons.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Was he in Billings, Montana?
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yeah, he got a little running Billings Gulf Port.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, Marlon style left handed catcher, break a little bit,
James in Virginia, James, what do you have for me?
Speaker 8 (35:27):
No? No, no, Torius, he is no Toorris Natoy and CDC.
Thanks for taking my club brother. Happy Monday. DT Dnet's
a Luca Commander, as you can tell him. I'm super
hype man, Go Blue, the Marvin Man, you hit it Man,
the fab time all cast. They're the reason I'm a
(35:47):
Michigan fan today. I was nine and ten years old
when they were playing for the titles. Then I love
them guys. Chris Revel was one of my favorite players
growing up. And then you got me thinking DP the
forgotten dream team man Christian Lightner. Isn't this guy a
top five college basketball player of all time? He could
definitely be all of faint. Hey, I love you guys.
(36:08):
Don't Blue to night. I'm sorry, Marvin, but I got it.
I hope they come out in the main uniforms. Man,
I ain't seen them all year. Up the night, you
guys have a great day. Man's Luther commanders.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
James never has a bad day, even when the commanders
have a bad day. Mike in Connecticut, Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
What do you have for me?
Speaker 14 (36:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
That's a tough one to follow.
Speaker 14 (36:29):
There.
Speaker 15 (36:30):
By the way, Go Go Blue also plays to the
Connecticut side, so I'm not sure who he's pulling for.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Two things for you, Las Vegas bouncers.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
The bouncer let that play. Okay, right, The bouncers are tough.
You can't get past them. And then wait a minute,
Wait a minute, hold on. Uh. Paulie was a bouncer,
so they're not all Sometimes you're just standing there.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I always tell when Pauli says, yeah, I was a bouncer.
You know this plays outside. I said, you checked Ida, Yeah,
I was trying to avoid fights.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Rob in Tennessee, Hi Rob, what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Dan adp how you doing? And Dennett's I also have
a Las Vegas team name. The NBA is trying to
connect with a younger audience. They want to sell some
merchandise in the merchandise sales booth boost there and Las
Vegas is looking to be more than a gambling town
or trying to be a family friendly tourist destination. The
NBA already has the seventy six ers, so how about
(37:36):
the Las Vegas six sevens.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Big build up, big, big wind up there, big wind
up there. Christ in South Carolina? Hi, Chris, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 11 (37:49):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Has a go one good?
Speaker 16 (37:51):
I waited two hours. I waited two hours on hold
and went through a tunnel and dropped the call. So
I'm wanting you to get back in and people knowing well, Marmon,
good luck tonight, man Bullem for you. Best of the weekend.
South Carolina beaten Yukon and then South Carolina. I'm losing
UCLA and the way the coaches have a little spat.
Hate to see that.
Speaker 10 (38:10):
Dan.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
One quick question.
Speaker 16 (38:12):
Do you think we'll ever have a mid major Cinderella
ever again in this new era of inn il.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Yeah, I'm gonna say we will.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Somebody will catch lightning in a bottle, Somebody will have
a couple of players that won't be at that mid
major the next year. But you know you're gonna get
a mid major that'll surprise again. I certainly hope so
for those mid majors, because I don't want to get
to the point where we just go. You know, these
(38:39):
are the teams schools that are eligible for college football's playoffs,
and these are the college basketball teams. I hope we
don't get there because the tournament is built on those
who have an opportunity, a chance to play against these
teams that won't schedule them. And you know, I I
do like when we get to the Elite eight that
(39:01):
you get really good. I mean, look at last year's
Final Four that those weren't great schools for basketball, but
they had their moment.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Yeah, Paulie, it.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
Does feel though with the you got to win six games? Yeah, man,
the odds are against the mid major.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well no, I think winning three Yeah, I don't think
you can win more than that.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Like Butler back in was that ten years ago?
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Butler?
Speaker 6 (39:26):
That felt the closest.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Ever Chris and Riverside.
Speaker 15 (39:30):
Hi, Chris, Hey, good morning Dan and the Dan A Hey, sorry,
I feel like Chris in South Carolina. I got I
held for forty five minutes and got my call drop
and okay, I got back in. But my best and
worst of the weekend all has to do with the
NC Women's Championship game. I mean, I think we're talking
too much about the dohn Staley Jegle thing and not about.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
The Lady Berlin's.
Speaker 15 (39:56):
I mean, I know they are sixth senior girls, scored
all their points. I think it was a fabulous season
for them, the first since.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Uh what's her name Myers? You know one way back
and yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Ani Myers.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah they weren't even that was in like the aia
W or something. But yeah, no, but Gino and Don,
I mean you don't see that. That's why we're talking
about it. And I did say it overshadowed what UCLA
did against South Carolina. But you know, congratulations. You know,
I'm doing a store or you know, a show with
content here that has content there with Gino and Don
(40:34):
Staley UCLA winning, great performance, Dominant, enjoy it, Todd, would
you learn today?
Speaker 9 (40:40):
And Ego went to the green room between final four
games for a snack, found himself having to navigate past
the roped off area accommodating the chainsmokers Seaton.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
Tonight's final got a lot more interesting.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Marvin, me and Guy got a.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Bit Yeah, diners, drive ins and domination, Paul Domination. Thanks
for the phone calls today and the emails the tweet
it's the all around support. Jay billis tomorrow, Reggie Miller tomorrow,
and hopefully you tomorrow for Fritzie's seat and marrow. Paula
yours truly have a great day, everybody,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this championship Monday. One shining moment coming
up tonight? Will it be for Connecticut six and a
half point underdogs or Michigan, although Michigan kind of feels
like an underdog from the standpoint of the basketball program. Also,
the Big Ten not winning championships. It's been a long time,
(00:25):
couple of decades since we've had a Big Ten title team,
well except for UCLA winning the women's championship eight seven
to seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
our Twitter handle at TP show Coast to Coast on
Tuesday Night. Hornet Hornets in the Celtics, Rockets in the
Suns on NBC, and Peacock Playoffs coming to NBC in Peacocks.
(00:49):
Starting April nineteenth, I watched a lot of Cooper Flag
against the Lakers. He goes for fifty one on Friday
and then turns around and goes for four forty five
last night in a win against the depleted Lakers. First
teenager with consecutive forty point games and the last time
we had a rookie with consecutive forty point games was
(01:12):
nineteen ninety seven, Marvin, would you like to guess Allen Iverson?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Bloop Bloop?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Alan Iverson nineteen ninety seven, But it's Oh WHOA. Brought
to you by Pandi America, the official trading cards of
the program. Say good morning if you're watching on Peacock
or NBC Sports Network, download the app if you haven't
done so. We say good morning to our radio affiliates,
(01:43):
iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio as well. What happens to
Dan Hurley's legacy if he would win his third title
in the last four years and as an underdog going
against Michigan. Michigan has dominated everybody they play, kind of
like you cla women dominated everybody that they played. But
(02:03):
now you win three in four years. That's John Woodn't like.
And you're doing it with different players.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Coach Wooden had guys who stayed all four years. Had
two of the greatest, if not the greatest college basketball
players of all time, Bill Walton and lou Al Sindor.
Now lou wasn't eligible his freshman year. Bill wasn't eligible
his freshman year. But they had so much talent. But
you had guys Gail Goodrich, Wold Hazard. These guys were staying,
(02:33):
Marcus Johnson, Richard Washington, these guys were staying their entire careers,
Mike Warren, Lucius Allen. Now it's different. I mean your
rosters are changing. Now you can bring in good players
that are transferring in. But imagine if your coach wouldn't
and you show up at practice and you go.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Oh, look who's back this year.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Lou al Sindor because lou would be a one and done.
I don't know if Bill Walton would be a one
and done because I think Bill was so caught up
in being coached by John Wooden. I think the academic
portion of UCLA was very intriguing to Bill Walton, So
he might be a different person. But if you're showing
(03:18):
up and you got the same players, coach Krzyszewski, when
you show up and you go, I got Hurley and Latoner,
all right, Oh we were going to throw in Grant Hill.
He's going to stay for a couple of years. This
is challenging nil portal and you know what, he kind
(03:38):
of relies on getting one great player McDonald's all American
and then he kind of fills in the area.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Yeah, Pauline remember Jordan Hawkins, the Great Guard. Just a
couple of years ago. He was a sophomore for Yukon
Great Series, then goes to the NBA. The guy was
a lot on it. Tonight is Yukon forward Els Caravan.
If he wins his third title in four years, he'd
be the only player who didn't go to UCLA.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
To do that. Okay, yeah, seton.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Yeah, I mean I feel like you can not only
do they have turnover year to year, but like high turnover,
they lose important key players, starters to the NBA Draft
each year. So to keep that championship culture, Yeah, I
mean that's one hundred percent the coach.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But he also loses a great assistant coach in Luke Murray.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
That's the thing right now. That is a big loss.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You can lose players, but man, you I don't know
if people give Luke Murray. I mean, he's always going
to be known as Bill Murray's son, but he's also
a really good, offensive minded coach. And now he goes
to BC. That's a big loss. That that's a bigger
loss than a player.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that they expected to lose him sooner.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Yeah, and maybe getting another year out of him was
like a major coup, but that next year should look significantly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And I did wonder about this, and maybe it's a stretch,
but I do think so much of Luke Murray did
North Carolina? Were they interested in Luke Murray? Now you
can say, well, he doesn't have head coaching experience. Well,
Tommy Lloyd went from Gonzaga to Arizona. Hubert Davis didn't happen,
(05:22):
and maybe that's where they're going. We didn't need to
get somebody who's got head coaching experience. But I wonder
North Carolina. I mean, this is what tells you about
your program when you got coaches that go, nah, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I'm gonna use that situation.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
To get a better deal and not go to North
Carolina because when you go into you already know who
your your friends and enemies are. No if you're at
Alabama or you're at Arizona, Okay, I already know the
characters here. Now, those two coaches got similar deals that
they wanted to make sure they didn't have to answer
(06:01):
it anybody. So Natoates and and Tommy Lloyd, they and
I thought that that was the sticking point at Arizona.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
If he was gonna leave.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It was because he and the administration, from what I
was told, had to disconnect. But you're gonna make him
one of the top five paid coaches they get their talent.
You got to a final four, he did. He did
finalize the deal before they got blown out by Michigan.
I don't know if that mattered in the leverage here,
(06:32):
and now it feels like, are they getting Billy Donovan?
And if you get Billy Donovan, okay, you can save
face because you know, it starts to feel like the
Penn State situation with James Franklin and Paulie brought this
up last hour, and you're right, it's like this is
a great job, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
Isn't it?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
But if you're gonna get Matt Campbell, okay, okay, all right,
other coaches didn't want to go. Maybe it's not as
coveted as you think, but you can save face. But
you're bringing in a coach who's very similar in kind
of his career, and.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know his one loss record.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I believe, no, he's not dealing with the talent at
Iowa State or that he's gonna deal with at Penn State.
But if you're North Carolina. It almost it almost feels
like they should have stayed with Hubert Davis. I don't know,
is it that bad?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Smart? But maybe coaches are thinking the same thing they
thought about Penn State, Like wait, this guy with eleven
and two and they fired him. Same thing with North
Carolina with Hubert Davis, Like we went twenty four and
six and they fired him. Why would I want to
go there?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I already got my T shirt ready. If Dan Hurley
wins the national title, I have the letter I co nn.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh, well done, thank you?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Kon what do you think mark that bad boy Todd
trade market right now?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I'm want to talk to my legal team. I see oh.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yes, yes, to which begs the question to me.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
We were talking about his legacy or what this means
if he wins another one tonight. How would you describe
Dan early now? Is he legendary or iconic or not?
Just yet he's just an outstanding coach? How would we
what words to be well?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Sue is great. Billy Donovan, you know, went into the
Hall of Fame. Now he was a very good player
of Providence, but he's going in because he won back
to back titles at Florida, Yes, mar In.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
The big difference is Billy Donovan had Corey Brewer, Al
Horford and Joe kim No he had three lottery picks.
You I'm not sure if we got any lottery picks
maybe besides Mullins.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That a Mullins is going to be a lottery pick
because of his age. Teams are going to take him
now and then let him kind of simmer a little bit,
develop a little bit and it'll be like, you know,
Reed Shepherd with the rockets, because I remember watching him
in college and he had the game like that ability
(09:03):
to you know, he could get off the bounce as
they say, he could get his you know, jumper. But
you know he's small. Now you're still watching him and
he's smallest guy on the floor. But he can play.
He's athletic. Mullins is a great shooter. He's got size,
he'll fill out. People are going to make the comparison
with Conkinipple Kank Nipples a man like he's built. If
(09:25):
you look at him at Duke, he's not skinny and
therefore you know he's almost got that Luca kind of
build or you know in the embryonic stages of Hey,
I can have guys bounce off me and create a
little bit of separation. But Conk Nipple can shoot. He's
(09:45):
proven that he is an elite shooter. Mullins is expected
to be an elite shooter. And you know he's too
up and down right now. But you know he's a freshman.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Yeah, Pauli Canipple has baby face syndrome, just like Steph
Curry had. He looks younger than he is because they
their face and Mullins has the same thing. He looks
really young.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
But I think you'll be a lottery pick.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Just because you want to get that kid, and you
get him now and then by two in two years
from now, you're like, oh, okay, I don't think he's
a kid who you know, it'd be a great team
and they're probably going to have one of the five
worst records Indiana Pacers. Keep him in Indiana, let him
(10:35):
sit for a little while. That's a team that will
come back as a good team. They've been terrible. They
didn't have Halliburton. But how about Mullins to India?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yes, smart ah, No, It's it's hard because this is
such a deep draft and you have a you know,
guys like Da Banza and Boozer in there.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
So well, let's say he's let's say the Pacers have
the ninth pick in the draft.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So would I take him top five?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
No? Would I take him top ten at the back
end of nine or ten? Yeah, I'd consider that. But
Indiana has the fifth.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Worst record right now, I think I think third, third worst.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Working hard for the first new.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Poll questions, See do we have one for the final
hour of this program?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Yeah, we got three of them up there right now
we have well, of course, who are you rooting for?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
We got to get the nation on record.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Of course, right now, sixty one percent rooting for Michigan
expanding the NCAA tournament further beyond sixty eight teams. Is
greedyan and unnecessary, fantastic more teams or it doesn't matter.
I'm watching. These are from Todd. Greedy and unnecessary currently
has eighty two percent.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Of that vote. That is wild.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
And we also have up there tonight Michigan wins a
titwe Michigan dominates. Same thing for Yukon. Michigan dominating has
fifty percent of that vote. Oh yeah, Michigan buy six
and a half a statement win.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's one of those where you kind of go wow
because I'm watching and I kept waiting for something. Arizona
my Wildcats and uh, same old Wildcats. I thought, okay,
this is the year because if I didn't pick them,
then I knew they were going to win the title.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
So I'm like, all right, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Think they're the best team, or if they are, it's
really close with Michigan. I mean, there are times I
watch Michigan and it felt like an NBA team. They
might be older than what's the youngest team? Well, ok see,
Michigan's team might be older than Oklahoma City Thunder or
at least it's close because they got some older guys there.
(12:52):
Let me see Chris in Riverside. Hi, Chris, what's on
your mind today? Oh, Chris is gone? Aaron in California?
Good morning, Aaron, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Good morning, gentlemen. I'd like to share a quick best
and worst of the weekend and also an important fact
about Courteruroys. Okay, hey you said it. You know that's
of the weekend. Statement win for UCLA for the women's side,
Amazing win for those ladies. Congratulations, I'm the worst. How
can we not be talking about Gino Ariana coming after
(13:26):
Don Staley in the most pathetic show of fragile egos,
syndrome and poor sportsmanship with no consequences. If that had
been Don Saley, people would be calling for her hands.
So I think we should be acknowledging how poor that was.
But my important fact about corduroys, gentlemen, I heard stripes
this morning. Hey, I might be dating myself, but corduroys
(13:47):
are called whale w a l e as in narrow
whale or wide whale. So Dan is a fan.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
I thought you might like to know that, ooka.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think Paully said that when he first realized that
I had a corduroy problem.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I love hepperdast ray.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, and my daughters want to have a corduroy intervention,
and I was like, you mean I need more.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I'll take more corduroy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, the geno thing. We talked about it in the
first hour of the program. I mean, I was embarrassed
for him, and I don't know what they're going to
do to him. I mean, I think the damage is
done to him by himself. Season's over. I don't know.
Does his hurt recruiting. I just wish he would have
(14:33):
mentioned Don Staley's name in the apology, mention her name
or it doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't mean anything.
And maybe even if he mentions Don's name, it doesn't
mean anything. It's just you don't play with Don Staley, Gino.
That resume unapproachable. But that's what's surprising. Act like that,
(14:58):
act like the greatest coach in the game. Nothing's given
to you. You know that you built this program. But
when you act entitled like he did, people are gonna
come after you.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I don't like Don Staley saying what she said about Hey,
I'm gonna beat his ass, like you know, that's not good.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Not good.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
If because it was the other way and Gino said that,
then you know Sky would be falling. I wanted her
to be more professional as well. But he started this
the handshake. She shook everybody's hand prior to the game,
the scorer's table. If she was late, is that like Gino?
(15:48):
It felt like that bothered him more than the way
his team played. That's the problem. I have focus on
your team. He focused on her and she out coached. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Mean part of me is like it's the Sometimes it's
the reaction, not the first incident. You know, uh, that
that gets the most trouble. It's definitely an embarrassing moment
for kind of for everybody involved. I'm curious to know
how long that stain stays. Well, you know, the next
time they play. Now, if you're college basketball, what's the
(16:25):
first game you want next year?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
You open the season the Handshake Classic All State?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yes, you're in good hands shakes, Yes, Marvin is there
you hand you hand out the first hand shake?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You got jokes, but yes, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, yeah, huh ah. Guess who wants to call in?
Guy Fieri is if Michigan wins tonight, he wins the
Celebrity Bracket Challenge, mister diner, drive.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
In and dive. You'll join us coming up next year,
Dan what Marvin?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Sorry? Sorry? Sorry? The teams are gonna face South Carolina
yukon November twenty fourth, twenty twenty six, at Mohegan Sun
Arena in Connecticut. All right, I like it. So we're
taking a gamble.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We're going yeah, all right, we'll take a break. Guy
Fieri will join us coming up next year, Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah, but you picked Yukon.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I was just trying to pick somebody that I knew
could win.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, you were gonna pick Connecticut. Did you pick Connecticut
last year?
Speaker 11 (18:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
For sure year and the year before that. You make
it seem like you're some great prognosticator.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I mean by all accounts, I am this year.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Yes, PAULI see there's a lot of upside for Marvin though.
By picking with your heart, if they win, you get
the double win with the Yukon fan.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
By the way, we were wondering if my name has
ever been name checked in a rap song, and I
guess there's somebody named Benny the Butcher and he mentions
my name in a free I.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Wouldn't hold them.
Speaker 13 (19:02):
As soon as they told me you can't happen Roussell
to set the ball highest Builders in Manhattan. Me, I'm
on ESPN like I'm Damn Patrick, and my chef Hanker
stretch just like mister fantastics.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
All right, well, thank you, Benny. I love that. I
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's that's courtesy of a DJ Clue freestyle one power
one oh five.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Point one New York City. I like that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, maybe we get Benny the Butcher to call in
give me give me that one more time there, Mark.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
I wouldn't hold them as soon as they told me
you can't happen Roussell to set the ball highest builders
in Manhattan. Me I'm on ESPN like I'm Damn Patrick,
my chef Hanker stretch just like mister Fantastics.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All right, I like that is Guy Fieri with us
time Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, mister Michigan Wolverine, Guy
Fiery joining us on the program. How did you come
about picking Michigan there, Guy.
Speaker 14 (19:56):
Well, not only am I, you know, great cooking, a
curator of fantastic tequila, but uh, I really have a
fantastic profile and awareness of everything that goes on in
the NCAA men's basketball. That's not true. Actually I have
a ringer. I have my son Writer. Actually I've got
I've got writer that I just woke up and shit,
(20:19):
get up early.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
But Writer.
Speaker 14 (20:22):
Writer goes to San Diego State and works for San
Diego State basketball and heart broke in that they didn't
make the tournament.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
But uh, you know, an amazing team. So I went
to Rider.
Speaker 14 (20:33):
I gotta be honest with you and Writer, that's my
favorite thing about watching basketball is watching it with him
because he can break it all down for me. As
soon as he told me that you know, he wasn't
doing good and something with school, I'm like, look at
it like you look at basketball, and you're going to
do great. So he helped me with my bracket. But uh,
after that Yukon game, after that Duke Yukon game, I'm like, Wow,
this is getting out of control. And then that Michigan
(20:55):
stopping that that happened with with az I turned. I mean,
I've always watched as all the way through because you
never know. But yeah, that's all right, buddy. I'd love
to take the credit for this.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, Marvin, who's one of the dan Ets went to Connecticut.
If Connecticut wins, he wins the Celebrity Bracket challenge. If
Michigan wins, you win. Now, I don't know if there's
anything we can really give you, but we can ask
for something if Connecticut wins. If you're in the area,
(21:27):
the Tri state area, Marvin could be in an episode
where he's seated at a table where you go, oh,
Marvin from the Dan Patrick Show, So what do you
think about that? And then if there's something that we
could give to you. If Michigan wins, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Think that this has to happen. Regardless, we will make
this come to a reality.
Speaker 14 (21:48):
Okay, where and when we do this, I'm not sure,
but there will have to be a passing of the
gauntlet of who wins and who.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Has to pay the price.
Speaker 14 (21:58):
I mean, I'm not getting into that crazy uh you know,
the fantasy football stuff where someone's got to dress up
and go to the mall.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm not quite ready for that, but I.
Speaker 14 (22:07):
Am ready for if I which I don't believe that
I'm going to get knocked out. I believe that Michigan,
after what we've seen Michigan do uh this season and
especially through this tournament.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm saying the right things, right, writer, right, all right?
So if this goes the way.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
That uh I have read the stars, I will be
prepared to deliver a beautiful signed bottle of Santo tequila
UH and present it to him and take my beating.
If he loses. I don't know, Dan, you tell me
what he gets. What does he get to pluck off
of his desk that he has to give me?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I will have your son on the show as a guest.
How about that?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
There you go, writer, if we win, if your pick wins,
you go on the show. That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
All right, that's it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think that's a fair trade. Yeah, we're all fired
up for this. Rider and I and Rider one hundreds,
Laurie and I went.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
To the finals down in uh, where we go Arizona.
That was the coolest. I mean, I've been to a
ton of sporting events, but to see them take a
stadium and then fill in that whole stadium with all
those floor seats and then put that basketball court in
the center of it, and to watch the game. I'm
so bummed that we're not there to go see it,
(23:30):
but it is. It was one of the best sporting.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Events I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But you went to UNLV when the running Rebels were
at UNLV, correct, that was another.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
That was another level you get to take little UNLV
in nineteen ninety is actually the year I graduated, and
you know, we got great tickets. That was you know,
there was this team that was just coming out of nowhere.
I mean not really, I mean Tarcanian had been building it.
But we used to get awesome seats, like you know,
sitting right on the floor, just spending what the lottery
was of what's your fraternity or you know, how you
picked it. But then all of a sudden, here we
(24:01):
are ranked number one. I remember that morning of going
and seeing the gigantic number one that they built in
the you know, in the front driveway of the school
and yeah. It was for a little school like UNLV
at that time to be going as big it was.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It was an amazing time.
Speaker 14 (24:16):
And I remember when we won, it was chaos. So
it's it's something I appreciate. I didn't appreciate the next year,
but I appreciate it so and I wouldn't say that
I'm you know, Duke losing.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
You know, okay, you didn't mind that.
Speaker 14 (24:34):
Rider used to terrorize me when when he was a
kid and told me all through his elementary school and
because you've been a basketball fan forever, played great competitive
basketball through high school on.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That, but he always used to tell me that he
wanted to go to Duke Hunter.
Speaker 14 (24:47):
I went to UNLV, My oldest son, Hunter went to UNLV,
and Riders now taunting me with he's going to go
to Duke.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So San Diego State was a happy medium.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
How are you feeling like a million bucks?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm up and rolling.
Speaker 14 (25:03):
Oh from my leg injury? Yeah, oh yeah, that was
a that was not good. I had this crazy explosion
of my quad muscle in the center of my leg,
right in the center, not down at the knee, not
up to hit, but right the center and exploded and
they came and sewed it back together.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
And you know, me.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
Being sequestered to a wheelchair and crutches for in a
cast for eight weeks was horrible, but I survived it
and I'm back.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
But what doing an injury?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
What did your quad look like? Food wise?
Speaker 14 (25:37):
As the as the surgeon said, Guy, I haven't seen
this in twenty years, and I'm going to be trying
to sew together ground beef and ground beef. He said,
you have blown this muscle up in the center of
your leg. He says, so we're going to put this
back together. He goes, you really have to stay off.
I mean he put the fear and he goes, unless
you want to be back here going through this again,
(26:00):
don't move that muscle. And I'm like, oh, so really,
And I had I was filming a show in the
middle of this, and if I didn't finish the show,
all my crew was going to go away with no
Christmas money. And so we figured out a way to
put me in the wheelchair. And then when it was
time for my scene this new show that we're doing
called Flavortown Food Fight, and so I would get out
of the wheelchair stand there next to a park bench
(26:22):
or something or whole.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
A street sign and try to bump.
Speaker 14 (26:26):
We made it crew And after I got done with
the shoot, and that was two weeks of that, and
I was fresh out of surgery, only two days out
of surgery, and.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
The doctor was just pissed. He's like, I do all
this work and you're gonna go back to what's got
to do? You know that play hurt?
Speaker 5 (26:40):
But were you skiing?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
No, I was listen. I was fighting DP, I was
fighting ninjas. I tried to make up like really good
stories about what happened. Now now I was walking out
of my trailer and going.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
To the set to show my god.
Speaker 14 (26:57):
It just started to rain and brand new easy boots
on that I hadn't scuffed up.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
The bottom hit that first step. One leg went all
the way down the stairs.
Speaker 14 (27:06):
The other leg got caught behind me on the threshold
and it popped. I mean, I've broken a lot of
things and had injuries, but this went off like a
gun and I was shot. And the nurse came over.
The EMT came over and looked at my leg and
she goes, I got I'm fine, I'm fine, Just you know,
I'm fine. I just pulled my muscle she goes, no,
(27:27):
you have a huge divot in your leg where your
muscle used to be, because you need to go to
the hospital. I went to the hospital and the doctor's like, yeah,
we have to do surgery now. He said, like, now,
can I go back to work?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
So yeah, it was It was interesting.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
So I have tons of appreciation and understanding for all
these athletes to go through these horrific injuries and then
they have a timeline to get themselves back.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
PT is no fun. PT's worse than the injury.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
All right, big night tonight. So any parting words for
Marvin and his yukon of Huskies.
Speaker 14 (28:00):
Marvin, I think that you have watched every game, probably
more diligently than I have. I mean, and I don't
know that you get writers, crib notes, writers always delivering.
Did you see the game last night? And then he
gives me that rundown of what happened. I got to say,
after that Arizona game, and we saw it, we saw it.
Take it away from and you look at how they
(28:21):
crushed Tennessee. You look at just how I mean they had.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
These gigantic sixteen point leads throughout the tournament. There's just so.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
Many things that are showing this and I don't know
what the Vegas line is right now. I should as
a Vegas guy, but I'm going to look forward to
writer being a guest on the Dan Patrick. So this
would be fantastic and I'll send DP when I win.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I'll send you the bottle of tequila Repisoto.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
If you can't, without question.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Matt, maybe I'll just send the whole portfolio.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
That'd be nice on the Jaho.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
You know. Yeah, we'll make sure because I just need
a spot on the desk somewhere. But yeah, just for
Writer's Day. But now it's going to be hopefully it's
going to be a great I want to see a
great game. I think everybody does. But now and I'm
glad that is there gonna be a wall of fame.
Speaker 14 (29:06):
Anything that when the celebrity listed, because I filled that
out my hand.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
By the way, do you see that?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No, I got it, I got it, I got you,
I got it. Here, man, you're asking for an awful lot.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
This is a big win at the Fetty House.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
What.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I don't know what, Marvin, but DP, I'm taking a
bottle of tequila and I'm bringing it to the show
wherever he's at Oh I'm crashing it. Oh my yukon't
get on and all that. Diners Driving and Domination for Yukon.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Whoa, whoa. He just renamed my show Diners Driving and Domination.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
All right, Well we're on, all right. Uh, we'll talk
to you soon. Good guys, Thank you, Guy Fieri. Diner's
driving some dimes. Man, he works. I got to see
him when he was in Connecticut and he did like
three or four restaurants in a day.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
And man it is for anetic pace. Yeah, Paul, this
is a perfect bet.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Marvin's gonna win either way.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, that's true. All right, let me take a break.
Last call for phone calls?

Speaker 5 (30:29):
What we learn?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What's in store tomorrow? Reggie Millard Tomorrow? Jay billis to
react off the National title game. Hey feeling Marvin?
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I feel good, little nervous. That second game made me
real nervous.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Man.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
They look like club or laying at the beginning of
Rocky three.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
But this is where you hope that Michigan will act
the way South Carolina did. South Carolina's national title was
beating Connecticut the women's team, and now you had Michigan
in Arizona that was supposed to be for the national
time idol. So maybe they feel like they already won
their national title.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yes, mar and Arizona waited twenty five years to get
to the final four, and that's what they do.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
This day in sports history, Paul.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I just got two for you, Dan. Eighteen ninety six,
the first modern Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece. And
this was a great fight. I don't think the right
guy got the call. Nineteen eighty seven, Sugar Ray Leonard
took the middleweight title from Marvin Hagler.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Great fight.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, that's when Hagler said, Hey, he might have hit
me with more punches, but those punches didn't do anything
to me. That's one of those technical wins where you just, hey,
I hit him. I connected with more punches than he did.
By the way, the first marathon, how do they decide
(31:48):
the length of the first marathon? Was it just when
he was running and then he did. He die at
the very end, and that was the end of the marathon.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Called it Greek mythology or something, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But was it like whatever his name was, was it
Nike or yes, Todd? Oh?
Speaker 9 (32:06):
You let them all run and the last one that
didn't collapse altogether is the last one standing.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
That's exactly how many miles it becomes.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yes point.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
According to Greek mythology, is a marathon means like the
person that was delivering.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Oh, he was named marathon.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Yeah, and there is it's a messenger that goes between
two different towns. And the two towns were the distance
twenty six point two miles.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Okay, iady, that's what I already learned.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
On this day.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The first designated hitter in baseball history Ron Bloomberg. He
walked on five pitches against Louis Tiant of the Red Signs.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Yes see he could go back in history. Would you
undo the designated hitter?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But the American League was trying to get more offense
into its game, and that's why they had the DH. Yeah,
designated hitter.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Not A fan can either play the field or you
can come on, can be one dimensional. Even Luca's got
to play the other end of the floor.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
They's got to be there. Technically, he's got to be
on the other side of it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Hey, Frank Thomas was out at first base. He probably
shouldn't have been. And she'll like it too.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
I had to show he's not more than a big
bat whoa big glove.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Yes, And what little kid would aspire to be a
DH someday? Don't you want to go out in the
field in the sun and the grass the worst son?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I'd like to be a professional baseball player?
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Dad? Well, well, no, just a DH dad. Oh okay,
that kid always played first base. Whoever's going to right field?
That kid right field?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Although growing up in Major League baseball, your right fielder
was normally your best fielder. But when you were growing up,
when you're young, your right fielder is where you try
to tuck somebody away because you didn't have that many
left handed bats.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
If best athlete is in center or short stop, short
stop is the coach's son. Yeah, yeah, there's a whole
rule on how all of this goes.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Catcher, you already know when somebody shows up, how they
look you go, yep, you're a catcher kid.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
You're either on first or catching, which is it? Yes, yes, Dodd.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
Not that I was a great field but I did
notice at a young age that if you're a lefty,
forget about playing shortstop, third base, even second base, because
you got to make that turn to throw the ball
with your left hand. And that's could be the difference
between a lot of runers being safer out.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
At first little no fact, think you do you blame
that because there's there's fewer places for left handers to play.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Well, it was that then, and then every time the
coach would hit it to me when I tried the
other positions, it would just hit off my arm or
my ankle and would go through my legs.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
So I realized it, it's just catch the ball at
first pa.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I played against the left handed catcher and it's weird.
And he was drafted by the Reds. I think I
mentioned Marlon Styles. I think was his name, Marlon Styles.
Back in the seventies, he was a left handed catcher.
I don't know if he ever progressed out of single
a ball, but Marlin Styles, y spoony.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
Yeah, I got Marlin Styles I found it on Baseball Reference.
He played in the minors for four different seasons.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Was he in Billings, Montana?
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yeah, he got a little running Billings Gulf Port.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, Marlon style left handed catcher, break a little bit,
James in Virginia, James, what do you have for me?
Speaker 8 (35:27):
No? No, no, Torius, he is no Toorris Natoy and CDC.
Thanks for taking my club brother. Happy Monday. DT Dnet's
a Luca Commander, as you can tell him. I'm super
hype man, Go Blue, the Marvin Man, you hit it Man,
the fab time all cast. They're the reason I'm a
(35:47):
Michigan fan today. I was nine and ten years old
when they were playing for the titles. Then I love
them guys. Chris Revel was one of my favorite players
growing up. And then you got me thinking DP the
forgotten dream team man Christian Lightner. Isn't this guy a
top five college basketball player of all time? He could
definitely be all of faint. Hey, I love you guys.
(36:08):
Don't Blue to night. I'm sorry, Marvin, but I got it.
I hope they come out in the main uniforms. Man,
I ain't seen them all year. Up the night, you
guys have a great day. Man's Luther commanders.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
James never has a bad day, even when the commanders
have a bad day. Mike in Connecticut, Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
What do you have for me?
Speaker 14 (36:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
That's a tough one to follow.
Speaker 14 (36:29):
There.
Speaker 15 (36:30):
By the way, Go Go Blue also plays to the
Connecticut side, so I'm not sure who he's pulling for.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Two things for you, Las Vegas bouncers.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
The bouncer let that play. Okay, right, The bouncers are tough.
You can't get past them. And then wait a minute,
Wait a minute, hold on. Uh. Paulie was a bouncer,
so they're not all Sometimes you're just standing there.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I always tell when Pauli says, yeah, I was a bouncer.
You know this plays outside. I said, you checked Ida, Yeah,
I was trying to avoid fights.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Rob in Tennessee, Hi Rob, what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (37:13):
Dan adp how you doing? And Dennett's I also have
a Las Vegas team name. The NBA is trying to
connect with a younger audience. They want to sell some
merchandise in the merchandise sales booth boost there and Las
Vegas is looking to be more than a gambling town
or trying to be a family friendly tourist destination. The
NBA already has the seventy six ers, so how about
(37:36):
the Las Vegas six sevens.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Big build up, big, big wind up there, big wind
up there. Christ in South Carolina? Hi, Chris, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 11 (37:49):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Has a go one good?
Speaker 16 (37:51):
I waited two hours. I waited two hours on hold
and went through a tunnel and dropped the call. So
I'm wanting you to get back in and people knowing well, Marmon,
good luck tonight, man Bullem for you. Best of the weekend.
South Carolina beaten Yukon and then South Carolina. I'm losing
UCLA and the way the coaches have a little spat.
Hate to see that.
Speaker 10 (38:10):
Dan.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
One quick question.
Speaker 16 (38:12):
Do you think we'll ever have a mid major Cinderella
ever again in this new era of inn il.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Yeah, I'm gonna say we will.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Somebody will catch lightning in a bottle, Somebody will have
a couple of players that won't be at that mid
major the next year. But you know you're gonna get
a mid major that'll surprise again. I certainly hope so
for those mid majors, because I don't want to get
to the point where we just go. You know, these
(38:39):
are the teams schools that are eligible for college football's playoffs,
and these are the college basketball teams. I hope we
don't get there because the tournament is built on those
who have an opportunity, a chance to play against these
teams that won't schedule them. And you know, I I
do like when we get to the Elite eight that
(39:01):
you get really good. I mean, look at last year's
Final Four that those weren't great schools for basketball, but
they had their moment.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Yeah, Paulie, it.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
Does feel though with the you got to win six games? Yeah, man,
the odds are against the mid major.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well no, I think winning three Yeah, I don't think
you can win more than that.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Like Butler back in was that ten years ago?
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Butler?
Speaker 6 (39:26):
That felt the closest.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Ever Chris and Riverside.
Speaker 15 (39:30):
Hi, Chris, Hey, good morning Dan and the Dan A Hey, sorry,
I feel like Chris in South Carolina. I got I
held for forty five minutes and got my call drop
and okay, I got back in. But my best and
worst of the weekend all has to do with the
NC Women's Championship game. I mean, I think we're talking
too much about the dohn Staley Jegle thing and not about.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
The Lady Berlin's.
Speaker 15 (39:56):
I mean, I know they are sixth senior girls, scored
all their points. I think it was a fabulous season
for them, the first since.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Uh what's her name Myers? You know one way back
and yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Ani Myers.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah they weren't even that was in like the aia
W or something. But yeah, no, but Gino and Don,
I mean you don't see that. That's why we're talking
about it. And I did say it overshadowed what UCLA
did against South Carolina. But you know, congratulations. You know,
I'm doing a store or you know, a show with
content here that has content there with Gino and Don
(40:34):
Staley UCLA winning, great performance, Dominant, enjoy it, Todd, would
you learn today?
Speaker 9 (40:40):
And Ego went to the green room between final four
games for a snack, found himself having to navigate past
the roped off area accommodating the chainsmokers Seaton.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
Tonight's final got a lot more interesting.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Marvin, me and Guy got a.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Bit Yeah, diners, drive ins and domination, Paul Domination. Thanks
