Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on a Friday, which means we're what forty
to forty five minutes away from Brots and Italian sausage.
I gotta be honest with you, we need to have
a discussion at some point about the differences between those
two because I love them both, but there are probably
times in my life where I've gotten them confused or
(00:28):
I think that they're like one and the same. So
we'll have a conversation as it relates to Brot's Italian Sausages.
I will be having probably two during that final break,
and then I'll take another an additional two on my
drive back down to the Jersey Shore to meet back
up with my family. I also have to have I'm
(00:52):
going to run out of cup holders. I have a
cup for water, I have a yetti thing for water,
and I have a cup for some type of caffeine,
whether it's delicious diet, mountain dew or iced tea or whatever.
Now I'm gonna have to have multiple cups for mustard
and meat. I might run out of cup holders here
(01:12):
and beans and beans. Yes, I might run out of
cups on this glorious drive. Hopefully the traffic isn't too bad.
You know what's not too bad hosting this show. It
is so fun. It is awesome. Love those of you
that are checking us out on Peacock as well as

(01:34):
a couple more calls today eight seven seven three DP show.

(01:57):
the podcast. Love that you can check me out really anytime,
Ross Tucker Football Podcast or family of shows. The headline today,
I would say the biggest topic sweeps stink. Nobody likes sweeps,
nobody wants sweeps. And yet that's where we are with
(02:18):
both the NBA Finals Game four tonight the Mavericks hosts
the Celtics, and that's where we are in the NHL.
After the Panthers won in Edmonton last night to go
up three to zero. I maintain and we'll talk to
Steve Levy from ESPN does a terrific job covering the
NHL in about twenty minutes. I maintain that one of
(02:40):
these teams is gonna win a game. Is any any
of you guys with me that either the Oilers or
the Mavericks will win Game four?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Fritzi, I don't know which one, but I agree with
you there's not going to both be sweeps.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Pauli, these series aren't that close. They seem like the
Oilers are having trouble score. I know they got a
couple late last night, but up to this point and
this I could see the Mavericks being up at halftime
and losing. I could see them up being up seven
or eight at halftime and losing because I was like,
one last shot, let's give it all our energy, and
(03:14):
then they, like Maddick said, the Celtics are a much
deeper team of threatening players.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Seaton.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
It's weird because when I'm watching Celtics Mavericks, while the
games aren't, they are that that series is actually closer
to me than it is. Despite what the score line says,
there are moments in that game that you can point
to to say, this is where the Mavericks lost right
here this moment. Like that last game, they were on
a twelve to twenty to two run and Jason Kidd
(03:43):
for some reason decided to call a time out and
then after that they never got even close again.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It was a twenty to two run.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Are you loving this run by the Celtics? Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, it's cool. I mean there's you don't see that enthusida.
I'm not a I'm not really Celtics fan. Oh okay, no,
So although I do, I love Kyrie and I love Luca,
so a little bit to me is like I would
like to see them win. However, the Celtics, to me,
it's like, this is what you're supposed to be doing.
You probably should have done it already by now.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And now.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Love Kyrie as a player or person or both, I'm
cool with both. Okay, I love Luca as a person,
except for the the officials that that becomes a little
bit much like all the whining. But after they beat
the Timberwolves and he had that beer, and Michael Finley
came and took the beer out of his hands, like
(04:40):
Ruka cracks me up. His game is so unique it's
can you think of anybody else that's been like him.
Was he six ' six, six ' seven. He's slow.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It is odd.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It's like I imagine saying, hey, I got this six
to six slow point, he might be the best player
in the league, Like, what what are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (05:05):
He doesn't use explosiveness.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, he can't move that well. His defense is horrendous.
Oh we've been saying that. But it's almost like he
is in slow motion and the guys on defense don't
quite know how to handle it. Dan, he's got his
own speed.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Dan talked about this a while ago, and he said
he's almost like a counterpuncher where he dribbles in the
lane and he waits for an opening or waits for
you to commit to him, and then he goes around
with a little left a little right hand, and then
if you back off a little bit, he just shoots
a fifteen footer. It's like there's no move he doesn't have.
They're just methodical, almost like remember Levey on Bell, the
running back. Yes, when he would get the ball on
(05:45):
those handoffs and he'd go, he'd sit and wait and
wait for the line to play out their role, and
then he'd take off and it was apples and origes.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
But that's like the player, Come.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Marvel, what you say?
Speaker 7 (05:56):
No, well, I was gonna say, Luca's defense has definitely
been on display or lack thereof, because they've been attacking
him at nauseum because he just can't really stay in
front of the body.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And Manic said that. What I don't really understand about
that is why didn't these other teams employ the exact
same strategy, Like the slow guy that's not good on defense,
why would you not attack him and make him have
to play defense? I mean, you would think that would
be the How do you foul out with four minutes
left in the NBA Finals game?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
How's it even happen while'm not playing defense?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah? Well, while being terrible on defense?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, while not playing defense? Filing out with four minutes left.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Marv trying to take a charge at a three point
line is just not the move I would have gone to.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It was such a horrible, horrible decision by him. The
other stuff we got going on in sports, We've got
Trevor Lawrence is now the highest paid quarterback or player
in the NFL, tied with Joe Burrow, which is pretty remarkable.
Good for him, by the way, what a great young
man he is. I mean, the way he handled that
(07:02):
rookie year with Urban Meyer. You forget these guys. He's
twenty one years old. I met him when he was
a senior in high school, and I called the US
Army Bowl and he was so polished, so respectful. Even
back then we got the US Open going on. It's funny.
I feel like that's the only reason why some people
(07:24):
even know about Father's Day is that it's always the
same weekend as US Open, isn't it. Like that's how
I know it's it's Father's Day weekend, it's US Open weekend.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
It's convenient to ask to be left alone to watch
eleven hours at golf. It's it's a hard no for
the family if he says, hey, let's go get a
quick bite, maybe take me out to breakfast, but then
you know they're teeing off at eleven o'clock and I
need a nice seven hour stretch. You can ask for
that on Father's Day, right, Yes, you pause there, but no.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But that's also why one of two reasons why I
don't really golf. Number one, it really agreed to my back.
But secondly, it just seems like a big ask to
say to my wife, you know, have two little kids, Like, Hey,
I'm gonna go and so I'm gonna hit ball. It's
like thirty minutes. Then we're gonna play they we're gonna
go to the nineteenth hole. Like on a Saturday morning,
(08:15):
SAT have do like a six hour commitment. Six hour
time commitment. I can't even get an hour of my
own time. How do you have six hours? But that's
like what my dad did every Saturday growing up. He
would golf with his forsome. People still have a foursome
and they golf every Saturday in the country.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
The brows man, I don't have foursomes.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Was there a joke there?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, No, I don't know. Yes, Fritzy, you'd sell for twosome.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Fritzy was awesome, Fritzy. I was waiting for you to
take that. I'm also waiting for Seaton to let us
know what we're gonna be looking for this weekend. What's
coming up this weekend, Seaton that we need to be
aware of.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Yeah, well you just listed off a bunch of them.
US Open is really great, Pinehurst is fun. Uh, Eurostar today.
I know you guys are excited about that little soccer
ross you can.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Get into it. It's like the European Tournament.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Basically, it's a Continental world Cup if you will.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So does that mean that whoever won the Bundesliga and
whoever won the Premier League.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
So that's Champions League. So that's like if you put
it into your club team, that would be Champions League.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
This is country.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so like really good one this weekend
is Spain versus Croatia. Anytime those two get together, it's
always you, we wouldn't believe of a Croatian.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
You need to throw out the records.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
You can throw out the records when that is accurate.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I think it starts today with Germany Scotland. So like
all right, let's go, let's roll.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Can Scotland give Germany a game? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I don't know either, they're going to try. I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
In terms of fans, though Scotland shows up, they do.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
They bloody do a Scottish accent?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Is bloody anything UK? Or is it just the like
just the UK British British.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I've had instances where I've been around and certainly my
wife has two where you've been talking to someone Scottish
like you're talking to someone in like, Oh, I'm sorry,
I don't speak Spanish.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I'm speaking Scottish. Oh whatever's to say? It's English, you
know what I mean. But with that dialect you can't
understand what there's I.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Said to a guy recently what part of Australia is
from and he said London.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That's amazing English.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, I'm Scottish.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All right? Anything else?
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (10:45):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
You got Cardinals at Cubs. That's the fun one. Cubs
have a picture this year that's killing of course, that's
really good. Liberty had aces, a little w NBA action,
Let's see Yankees Red Sox always a classic too.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You got a lot to choose from this weekend.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You missed one, which I'll get to in a second
because I'm sliding into the weekend brought to you by
our partners Kings Hawaiian. There's gonna be a lot of
people buying Kings Hawaiians for this weekend, Are you kidding me?
Summer Grilling, Father's Day. King's Hawaiian wants you to get
together with friends and family and enjoy the weekend by
making every Sunday a Slider Sunday Kings Hawaiian roles absolutely fantastic.
(11:26):
One thing we didn't mention it or Seeton didn't mention
the UFL.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Championship is Sunday first season.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
First season combo of the XFL and the USFL. The
two semifinal games, I got over a million viewers for
both games. I'll admit that I have not watched a
whole lot of UFL. I want the league to succeed.
I want more guys to have a chance to get
paid to play football and improve to the point where
(11:55):
maybe they can play in the NFL. I know not
a lot of people are talking about the UFL. What
I never understand is who are these people that are
like it's so important to them that the UFL fails.
You ever sees people on social media they love piling
on that legal fold that league's thugs like. I guess
(12:15):
I don't understand the mindset of what do they get
out of a failed spring football.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I think a lot of people were frustrated by the
past decade of these spring football leagues popping up. The
AAF remember like six years ago, and then you know
the Rock has his and then the USFL tried to
now that it's a merged league of the USFL and
the XFL. The title game five pm Sunday, Birmingham Stallions
versus the San Antonio Brahmas. The star quarterback for Birmingham
(12:42):
Adrian Martinez. I guess he's pretty good, and also on
that team the line Stallion's given three and a half.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Stallion is a horse, right, Brahma is a snake.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
All.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I thought it was some kind of cattle.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
B r A h m A. I thought it was
like a brama is like a type of snake.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It's a chicken, but.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Said I said snake. Fritzy said it was cattle. He
says a bull. And and scene comes in with it
appears it's some type of it's.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Some type of chickens, the American Brahman, a hybrid breed
of cattle that originated India four thousand years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Okay, but I'm seeing also something says all about Brahma chickens.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That's one of the when you're when you type Brahma.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
And chicken, because it's Brahma or Brahma.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They're the Bramas. They're the San Antonio Bramas. Right, that
must be where you get that type of cattle.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah, they got the best cattle down there.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
But like I've never heard someone say, oh, that Brahma was.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Delicious, that's damn good brama.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, Am I gonna get the file at the porterhouse
the wag you or am I gonna get the brama
spring for the Brahma? Come on? Maybe it's uh, are
there any cattle out there that you don't eat? Maybe
Brahma's just like maybe they're work cattle.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
The backup quarterback for uh one of the seams, Matt Corrall,
remember him from old Mess.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
He's a backup quarterback.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I hope he's which no matter what team he's worth,
it makes sense. He's not Matt Corral the Stallion.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I think he's on Birmingham.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Matt Corral the Brama. You're not hitting the thing, Sam,
That just happened right there, very clever boom Matt Corral.
I'm like unreasonably proud of myself for that. By the way,
I just want people to know there's a lot of
(14:46):
like this is the biggest sports talk radio show in
the country. Okay, you guys have five hundred stations whatever,
it is not almost It's crazy how little of this
is planned. Like the last five minutes of Brama and Corral.
I can't assure you was not part of the meeting
(15:06):
before we started the show.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You cannot script Matt Corralling. Is he is he a
stallion or a Brama?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yeah, he's a He's a stallion.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think, all right, here's what I think. Steve Levy
is all over the Stanley Cup Final, not the Stanley
Cup Finals, which maybe I'll ask him about that as well.
We'll find out a little bit about hockey. We'll get
to sports history what we learned. I'm gonna look up
more of your food items. We gotta ask Steve his
(15:37):
food We didn't ask darreon novel his food item. We
got to ask Steve his food item. Life depended on
it in an eating contest. What food are you picking?
Eight seven, seven to three DP show at DP show

Hey, We're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.
Speaker 11 (16:19):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you
check out over Promised and also Uncensored by the way,
so maybe we'll go at it even a little harder.
(16:59):
It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us listen over promised with
Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I just talked to the guys during the last break,
I says, a way a minute. The next break is
when we get to eat the food, right like the
last break of the show. And Paully dead serious was like, yeah,
but we gotta gotta we gotta get to this first.
We gotta focus, like as if I wouldn't be able
to pull off an interview with my guy.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Steve lind twenty eighty three, got to focus.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, we're up three to zero in the in the series,
just like in the NBA and in the NHL. Fiuse
by the way, quick Steve Levy note, anyone that ever
is having any type of event like charity event or whatever,
he should be the guy that hosts it or m
sees it. He should be the guy. Because multiple times
(17:56):
I went to Garth Brooks charity thing and Steve today
and he was phenomenal, just absolutely awesome. And so when
they said who do we want to talk about or
talk with in terms of Stanley Cup final and hockey,
I'm like, Steve I like Steve. I talk with Steve.
I don't only know these other guys. So let's bring
on Steve, which is what we're doing. Steve is the
(18:17):
host of ESPN's NHL studio show The Point and intermissions
throughout the Stanley Cup Final, which continue with Game four
on Saturday at eight pm Eastern on ABC and ESPN Plus. Steve,
Great to see you, great to talk with you. Are
you still doing that gag? Are you still doing the
(18:38):
host and the Garth Brooks thing?
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Well, certainly what every invicement.
Speaker 12 (18:42):
It's so funny you bring up Garth because I get
up here to Edmonton and the first thing I see
is this giant mural and it's got all the Oilers
players with David and dry Sidle.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
In the middle of it is Garth Brooks.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
In an Oilers sweater playing the guitar, and so of
course I sent him the picture and he's he's so cool.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
He got right back to this.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
That's a fun game for your friends to play ross, right,
like who's the most famous guy on your phone or
famous person in your phone? And Garth Brooks is definitely
the most famous person on my phone. And it's pretty cool.
He text me back.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So you know what's funny, Steve, I am more and
more into in the country music every year than I
used to be. But before, when I was in the
country music really at all, was more my wife. When
I tell them that I sang on stage at the
Grand Old Opry with Tricia Yearwood and Garth Brooks, they
(19:34):
look at me like, that's the greatest thing a human
being you do. I was like, oh, yeah, no, I
just I just told Tricia Yearwood that I liked her
song She's in Love with the Boy, And next thing
I know, I'm on stage with Garth Brooks on guitar.
That was awesome, man, that was awesome.
Speaker 12 (19:48):
Somber I remember that too, And I remember the people
at Nashville said, you guys are eating We were eating
dinner on the stage, right, That's how big a deal
it was. And the people like it. You know, that's
stage is all time stuff. Like you don't get the
it's like the Stanley Cup. You don't touch it unless
you win it. Like you don't get to be on
the stage unless you're an all time super country superstar.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
And they were having dinner on the stage. That's that's
one of the all time special nights for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, that was and the night before we were at
Garth's Barn wherever that was. That was. That was phenomenal.
I absolutely loved it. I'm not loving Steve that Florida
one again last night. I was really hoping for a
bunch of different reasons, right, Like, I wanted to be
a longer series. There's nothing like a game seven in
playoff hockey. I guess maybe there's a dumb question, but
(20:38):
are the Panthers just that much better than the Oilers?
Speaker 9 (20:42):
I think they are.
Speaker 12 (20:43):
I think just from top to bottom, and I think
we knew they were the better team going in, but
that Edmonton had the higher level talent.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
You know, we waited a long time.
Speaker 12 (20:52):
We waited nine years to see Connor McDavid play for
the Stanley Cup, and here he is, and the Panthers
are just all They're such a good defensive team. The
best part about this is, you know, the hockey world
that the maybe casual fans that didn't realize or are
learning some new players.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
You know, it's not just econo of McDavid, Leon Dry Sidle.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
It's about Sasha Barkov, the captain of the Florida Panthers,
who right now, you know him and Sergey Brabrovski will
be the favorites I think for the com Spike Trophy,
which is the playoff win, which is something the NHL
does really cool. It's not the Stanley Cup Final MVP.
The MVP of the entire playoffs is what they do
in hockey. So it's all four rounds and those two
(21:35):
players have been dominant, and really they're the two reasons
that they've taken McDavid and the Oilers out of the series.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
They've been that good defensively.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
And you know, Barkov scores another goal last night, and
he's just he's just so skilled.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
And the Panthers are a terrific story.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
But yes, I think we're all disappointed this screen six
or seven games going into the series and now looks
like it'll be over much quicker than that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Has it changed, Steve in the sense that it used
to be like, Okay, if you had Gretzki, you're gonna win.
If you had Mario lemiir, you're gonna win. If you
have Crosby, you're gonna win. The Oilers have McDavid and
they're not gonna win. Has the sport changed or have
they just not done a good enough job surrounding him
with guys so that they do win.
Speaker 9 (22:18):
You know, it's it's more, it's not the fall, the
forwards fall.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
I think it is the ultimate team sport, and I
think you could draw parallels to football.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
But you know, in basketball, with five guys on.
Speaker 12 (22:28):
The court or women on the court, you can have
one superstar or definitely two and win a championship.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
And clearly it doesn't work that way in hockey.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
The checking in a series, the locking down of a
star in a series does happen all the time. But
then you should be eliminating some of the best players
in the other team, and that's where your secondary scoring
comes from. So the big five for the Edmonton Oilers,
so McDavid in Drystydle Hymen, the Nuge and the defense
(23:00):
Desmond Bouchard. Their five top offensive players have accounted for
zero goals so far in the Stanley in the Stanley
Cup Final, and so you know, it's nice to get
chip in scoring from guys you don't normally expect to
do it. McLeod gets a deflection goal last night for Edmonton,
but your stars do have to step up and perform.
(23:20):
They're under enormous pressure here. But again, I hate to
take away from Edmonton. I want to keep maintaining that
Florida being unbelievable is the story. And Ross They've done
this the whole playoff. They shut down all the Ranger
big boys to get here. They did it to Tampa Bay,
they did it to Boston in the first round. So
this is this is not something new, This is this
(23:40):
is not a trend. This is how the Florida Panthers
play hockey. Man, they look good.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Talking with Steve Levy, ESPN NHL studio host played by
Play Sports Center anchor calls football games as well, Steve,
you know, I'm guessing there's a lot of people that
feel the way I do. I'm just a guy from
pen of Ania, right outside of Philly. I really wanted
the Canadian team to win, Like I wanted that for
(24:06):
the people of Edmonton. I wanted that for the country.
And I feel like the people in South Florida. I mean,
come on hockey, South Florida like and maybe maybe you'll
tell me, hey, Ross, it's cool. It's creating a lot
of cool hockey fans in South Florida and I'm cool
with that. I'm down with that. I'm trying to spread
football over the globe. So if we're doing that, let's
(24:27):
spread hockey to South Florida. I get that. But I
just know it means more to the people in Edmonton
than it does the people in Miami. I know it does.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
Listen, there's no getting around that.
Speaker 12 (24:37):
I mean, and the Panther fans been all over me
and my coverage when we talk about stuff like that,
the building's not as loud, the tickets are easier to
come by, I mean that, you cannot argue that. In fact,
I even said I referenced the old SEC line right
that it just means more, right, and so and Mark Messier,
who was from ed A pKa suman A shaking their
heads like, yeah, all you have to do is be
(24:59):
in the building up here for the Canadian national anthem,
and it's just it's wild, right, And the game hasn't
even started yet, so it's special. We have not had
a Canadian team win in thirty one years, since since
Montreal beat Barry Melrose my guy and Wayne Gretzky's La Kings,
and so it's been forever. It's truly, you know, an
(25:20):
international sport, and the Canadian teams have had good teams
that come really close. Winnipeg Jets were terrific this year.
The mate Beliefs always have these great regular seasons and
you know, can't get out of the first or second round.
And so Edmonton finally powers through and it does seem
like they're gonna go out, you know, here with a
with a whimper, and again they're listen, Florida has great experience. Now,
(25:43):
they went to a Cup final last year. They lost
the first two games in Vegas, came home and won
a game, and so I think they were set up nicely.
Polmo reesed their head coach said hey, we're not gonna
let that happen to us. That was us last year.
And I think they've used the experience of the Stanley
Cup final to help them this year. And listen, the
Panthers have been around. You know, the Panthers aren't like Vegas.
(26:05):
They haven't been in the league seven years.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
You know. The Panthers have been around thirty thirty.
Speaker 12 (26:08):
Five years, yeah, I think thirty five years now, so
and they haven't won the Stanley Cup yet, so they're
certainly entitled for their shot and they're getting it right now.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
See, there isn't like some reason why the Canadian teams
haven't won it, right. It's not like a financial thing.
It's not like there's no like, there's nothing you can
put a finger on, can you.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
I don't think it's the dollar figure.
Speaker 12 (26:28):
I think all the NHL contracts are based in US
dollars regardless of where you are. Listen, some players don't
want to play in some of these markets for a
variety of reasons.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Okay, it's not all the same reason.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
I know some people some players don't want to play
in Montreal and Toronto. You want to talk about the hotbeds, right,
the pressure cookers where the media is on you and
you know you can't go anywhere.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
You can't go to a Tim Hortons to get a
cup of coffee.
Speaker 12 (26:54):
Otto was a you know, small market, maybe a little
sleepy there, buildings out in the suburbs like that kind
of thing. And in these markets where like you know,
Edmondson and Calgary, they're not these major metropolises, but you're
in you're under the microscope, right. I mean there are
videos of you know, Conor McDavid just trying to go
(27:14):
to a packing then buy you know, by a case.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Of beer, and they're all over.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
He's got a pre protection everywhere with the security and stuff,
so I think, and that's a lot of American players.
You know, we saw with Matthew k Chuck was really
the face of Florida Panthers. You know, he wanted out
of Calgary for whatever reason, and he's he's now the
face of the Florida Panthers. He's changed everything about that franchise.
We'll see what happens with his brother who's in Ottawa,
like I mentioned, and other players, you know, they want
(27:41):
to be in Anaheim and then that you know, they
could be have a nice life and live in southern California.
You play hockey and you're kind of left alone outside
of the rick. So I think it's a variety of reasons.
I don't think it's necessarily about the cash, but it
is odd.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
It is odd.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
He had seven franchises up in Canada. It's been thirty
one years.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, that's wild. That's good context though. That's what I
was looking for. Last question, Steve, we were talking we
had Darren ravel on earlier. We're talking about this Joey
Chestnut versus Kobe Ashi eating contest. So I was asking
the dan Nets if there was one food, like, if
your life depended on an eating contest, what food do
(28:20):
you think you would do the fair, the best at
compared to other other people.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
All right, so I'll give I'll give you one. It's
gonna sound awful, it's gonna be terrible. I can destroy
stone crabs, okay, So now listen, they're little and and
they're hard to eat at get out of the shell too,
which which speaks to my skill in that aspect more
(28:47):
than the next guy.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
But you sit me down at Joe's stone crabs with
some of.
Speaker 12 (28:51):
That mustard sauce, man, and I can go to town for
a long time. I feel pretty good about my chances.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That's awesome. Somebody hit me up on social media and said, uh,
shrimp and and cocktail sauce. So usually you don't hear
people going seafood, but I like it.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
But I wanted to give you something different too, you know,
like wings too.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
But these people all saying wings or pizza. It's like, yeah, great,
great story. Nobody's ever thought of that one before. I'm
sure nobody, Hey manx, I'm sure nobody else can eat
a bunch of pizza. I mean, you gotta think about
how it compares to other people. Have some strategy here.
Your life depends on it, right anyway that listen.
Speaker 12 (29:28):
The other caveat there is for Joe Stone grabs like
I can't be paying the bill either. Okay, that's got
to be on a Dan Patrick show. If I'm going
to win that concept, well.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
You won't have to pay the bill. Now, just clip
this video and send it to him for the next
time you go there. I think you'll be all sad.
Speaker 12 (29:41):
Thank you, Steve hi ROSSI well, say hi to the
boys for me frixating everybody there.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I will they said hello as well. Steve Levy does
a terrific job there for ESPN, host of ESPN's NHL
Studio show The Point and intermissions throughout the Stanley Cup Final,
which might end tomorrow night, Game four on Saturday, eight
pm Eastern on ABC ESPN Plus. I'm calling it right now.
(30:06):
The Oilers are winning that game. Bam. My first hockey
prediction of all time. I think that I just want
everybody at Edmonton and Canada to remember this when the
Oilers get the job done Saturday night, It'll be because
I predicted it would happen, and if they don't, no
one will remember at all because they said it Friday morning,
(30:28):
and it'll be Saturday, and then Sunday we'll have the
US Open and Father's Day and next thing you know,
it'll be Monday. All right, So we got a couple
of things we need to do, all right, last call
four calls eight seven seven three DP Show or hitting
me up with your food item at Ross Tucker, NFL
(30:48):
at DP Show. We'll also get to this day in
sports history. We'll get to poll results. Do we even
have a poll question?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We had one earlier?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, yeah, I ask you what it was.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
I know, but we've been kind of talking about it
all day. I had sweeps are awesome or awful?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Got it? Yeah, people are gonna say awful. That's my bad.
I'm not even asking you.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Seventy seven percent say they are awful.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I would imagine that weekend plans and what we learned
if I'm back in this chair after I see how
many brats and Italian saushes I can eat thirty eight
minutes past the hour here on The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
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 w APP.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
But since I was a toned bar, all.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Right, good, I didn't steal Marvin's thunder this time. It's unbelievable.
I didn't even know people. Somebody hit me up on
social media at Ross Tucker, NFL. Don't steal Marv's thunder
at the end of the show. Again, I didn't even
realize I did that the last time. You know what's cool?
I am I a nerd for the fact. Don't answer that,
(31:59):
am I a nerd that I love this date and
sports history stuff? I love sports and I love history.
So when you can combine both of them, I like it.
Do I say the one I think it's interesting? And do?
Speaker 4 (32:11):
I ask you, Paulock, I'll go first, and then you
put the hammer down to close.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Hi, there's one that really jumps out to me. But
I'll see if you can figure out which one it is.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Nineteen eighty seven, the LA Lakers won the NBA title
by defeating the Celtics. The Bulls nineteen ninety two won
the title over the Trailblazers Big One in New York.
The New York Rangers nineteen ninety four won the Stanley Cup,
beating the Vancouver Canucks, first time the Rangers had raised
the Cup in fifty four years. A couple more big
one in soccer seedon US Soccer beat Mexico two oh
(32:41):
in two thousand and two to advance to the World
Cup quarterfinals. Best appearance in the World Cup since nineteen
thirty th Sacero yep, two thousand and three. Remember NFL Europe,
I used to love that Frankfurt Galaxy. Don't sleep on
the Galaxy, the first team in NFL Europe to win
three World Bawls.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Wow, Phil Jackson nine got his tenth title. That make coach.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
So I didn't realize you're this date and sports history
is different than my this date.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
We have different lists to mix it up.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, that's cool. So the one that jumped out to
me in twenty twenty one. Only three years ago, Cristiano
Ronaldo removed sponsors Coca Cola bottles from his press table
at the Euros the European Championships, prompting the company's market
(33:29):
value to drop by four billion billion four billion because
a soccer player took some bottles of coke off of
his table.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
I'm sorry, not just a soccer player.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Ronaldo Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Are you more of a messy guy or a Ronaldo guy? Uh?
Speaker 5 (33:49):
I was probably used to be more of a Ronaldo guy,
but these days it's more of a messy guy.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Why just because he's in the States.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Well, just because Ronaldo went to uvent and that's the
team that I follow and I hated him there.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's I really didn't like it at all.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And like, when he was on you were a fan
of his, and then he went to your favorite team
and he didn't like that?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Correct, Yeah, how does that make any sense?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Because once he got to the team, it kind of
blew everything up. The team became everything was de cater
to him, which when you're watching from the outside, you're
sort of like, oh, no, look at this guy.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
He's awesome. And then he goes to your team and
everything blows up and you're like, oh, damn, that didn't work.
This sucks.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Oh interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Yeah, the ball always had to find him, everything had
to go his way, it felt like, and it just wasn't.
And I prefer Christianna Ronaldo when he's playing on someone
else's team, and you watch him and you're like, man,
this guy's.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Great, Pauly, I'm looking at the video. Yeah, it's right
three years ago. Ronaldo's got a coke in front of
him and he kind of gives it a side look
and then he holds takes the moves out of the way,
has to put a bottle of water, and he just
has water in Portuguese and a one point six percent
dropping their stock over the course of the day, and
their market value went from two hundred and forty two
(34:58):
billion to two hundred thirty eight billion in twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
It responded, but they bounced back.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, but he wasn't It wasn't a sponsor deal, and
he wasn't anti coke. He just wanted a water. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
He was also advocates a healthy lifestyles said he did it.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
He's so shredded.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Yeah see he No, he very much was saying, don't
drink Coca cola, drink water instead. This isn't healthy for
you drink this.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Oh okay, it wasn't just I would like water right now.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
No, no, no, he moved it deliberately, put it out
of the way, held up the water and said, n
noa agua drink this.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Has he ever tried coke zero?
Speaker 8 (35:34):
Though?
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Good question?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
What about dieta it's zero, it's zero calorie caloriess like coke.
When I do my press box food reviews on Monday's
Rosstucker Football podcast, whether or not they have Coke zero
in the booth that that has a big impact on
how I feel about it. PAULI.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
A bunch of years ago, there is a race, a
NASCAR race, and Tony Stewart won it. It was sponsored
by Pepsi. They were the presenting sponsor of this race.
And so there's Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi everywhere, right, and Tony
Stewart wins. They get him in the winter circle he goes,
He goes, I don't drink Pepsi. I'm a coke guy
since I was a little kid. But it's great to
win this race. He insulted Pepsi directly during the post race,
(36:15):
you know, getting the trophy, and.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
He knew what he was doing. He played to his sponsor.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, I mean, listen when I'm riding in my beef
jerky Ford motor van. Those guys nobody plugs sponsors like
the NASCAR guy, Plug sponsors. They're incredible Marvel. You can say,
same thing, Oh, same thing that Pauli said. Yeah, well
(36:39):
the Tony Stewart.
Speaker 8 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
God, all right. So Paul in Louisiana has been hanging forever.
Like I, I appreciate persistence in life. So let's go
to Paul in Louisiana. What's up, Paul? Oh? What do
you got so?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Real quick? I know you're learning at time. My choice
would definitely be in Louisiana. You gotta go with crawfish.
I can eat five pounds of that in about four minutes.
I mean that stuff will go down. I mean five
pounds is a appetizer. So you put some crawfish in
front of me. A good Louisiana guy. She We're going
with twelve to fifteen pounds of easy, no problem.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
You know what, Paul, I love it, and they do
love their crawfish down there, Pauli.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I was at ole Miss once during college and I
sat with a table. Guys, I got like a pictic table.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
You went to ole Miss during college?
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I went ever left. Oh I wanted to try.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Did you not just stay?
Speaker 6 (37:34):
I wanted to transfer badly.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
You're going to Southern Illinois and you stayed at Southern
Illinois when you could have gone to Ole Miss.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Yeah it was I was locked in with my two
point two GPA at SIU. Oh nice, but almost they
had like a table of crawfish and sausage and all
this kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Well, fantastic, Seaton.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
I'm looking on Major League Eating dot Com right now
at records in twenty ten. Sonya Thomas, Sonya, you're put
away so txo point five pounds of crawfish. Wow, that's
the world record is six point five pounds.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I don't know if I mean, I'm sure I've had crawfish,
But what's the between crawlfish and shrimp?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Different taste, different texture, the way you eat them while
you twist them similar. I don't want to insult the
crawfish community, so I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
They're both crustaceans, I believe. Yeah, when's the last time
you use that word?
Speaker 6 (38:22):
The process of eating crawfish is more crustacean mudbugs.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Could you spell crustacean? Is that an s A T word?
I don't know. I do know this tire rack dot
com and official tire Yeah, show go to tire rack
dot com. Slash Dan try the Tire Decision Guide and
(38:46):
see the full line of toy Oh Tires special offers,
free road hazard protection and mobile tire insallation tire rack

Speaker 10 (39:02):
Fritzy, you call hosting the Dan Patrick Show the fastest
three hours of radio.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
That's right, Seaton.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
I learned the world record for eating hard boiled eggs,
set in twenty thirteen, Joey Chestnut one hundred and forty
one hard boiled eggs.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Well, that sounds like a lot.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
That sounds like a lot. You're an egg guy, You're
an egg eater. As we've covered today.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I am scrambled with little American cheese in there.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Little cheesy eggs, cheesy eggs, cholesterol, menia.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Who me, Fritzy, what a lot of be that person?
Dan always accuses me, why all people be that person?
Speaker 10 (39:41):
Because I grew up always running to the doctors very
little thing. So I think that would be a concern
to have a very high nice comment.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Ronaldo, All right, here we go.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (39:50):

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Set, Fritzie. What did I learn?
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Brooks.
Speaker 10 (40:06):
Kopka didn't talk to the media yesterday because he feels
reporter questions just aren't that interesting enough for him.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, but then he like this text exchange that Kepka had,
It was like a long involved text exchange. I guess
I feel like he and they say, well, what are
you doing now? I wanted to get home and prepare
for tomorrow, you know, for golf, and the right the reporter,
I think am and Lynch again said well what are
(40:31):
you doing to prepare for tomorrow? He's like, I just
do a dip in. I'm watching the hockey game. It
was so great, like that's how he prepared. That's why
I think I like Kopka a lot. And well, I
think he's a good guy. Anybody else wanted to submit
anything in terms of food that they're gonna what about
(40:51):
this weekend Father's Day? If you could pick one thing
to eat on Sunday, anybody anyone.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Seafood, summer seafood, seafood, seafood, a big seafood, a stage
right now.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
But here's the thing. Nobody in their teens or twenties
says that, you know, as well as you get older,
you like seafood more. What is the deal with that you?
You wouldn't have caught me eating any fish in my
teens or twenties. Now, now we go out to dinner,
I'm like, ooh, the salmon sounds lovely. Let's have that. Yeah,
(41:24):
