You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour in this Thursday Dan and the dan 's
Dan Patrick Show. Our starting lineup, it doesn't change. It's
fritzy seat and Marv Pauli and yours truly are starting five.
I don't know, maybe we lack a little star power
there are we kind of like the Pacers.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Maybe what's the cop here?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Maybe? Okay, see, maybe that would make me, Shay Gilges,
you've been doing it way longer than Yeah. Yeah, maybe
you know we're lacking star power too. People complaining that
there's no stars in the NBA Finals. Here's Lebron James
talking about that.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
We praise a lot of individuals, and rightfully so. We
have unbelievable individuals in our sport over the years have
done great things and have put themselves in position to
be talked about.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
But one thing we cannot disrespect is great teams. You know,
we have this Indiana OKAC situation, and these are two
great teams. And if you are a basketball fan and
you really love our game and you can learn so
much from watching the way those both of those teams play.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I like to support there with Lebron on his podcast.
The US Open is underway. Beautiful day in Pittsburgh. Outside
of Pittsburgh, oak wont Country Club. Pretty good scores today
so far the US Open. It's today through the weekend
on USA, NBC and Peacock. Good morning if you're watching
on Peacock. That's our streaming partner. Download the app if
(01:32):
you haven't done so. Hall of Fame golfer Ernie Else
who won it Oakmont. He will join us coming up
in a little bit. But the Pacers over the Thunder.
They're up to to one Friday night Game four, must
win Game four. OK see because the team that wins
Game three in the last twenty five years they go
(01:53):
on to win the NBA Championship eighty percent of the time.
You got a must must win situation for ok and
they're favored by six in Indiana coming up eight seven
to seven three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle at tp show. We stumbled onto
something based off of the lack of star power in
(02:14):
the NBA Finals, which I'm not lamenting, by the way.
I couldn't care I'm just I watch. I couldn't care
less what I love to have, you know, the Lakers
in there against the Boston Celtics, or you know, throw
out the matchup that has star power.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yes, but we don't have it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So it's either we don't have it, I can whine
about it, or we don't have it and I can
watch what we do have. Because somebody's going to win
a championship here who's never won a championship Before.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The US Open.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Scotty Scheffler said he had to delete his Venmo account
because he says that he hears from fans and he
had to get rid of his Venmo account because he
was either getting paid by people who won bets because
of him, or people were asking him for money when
he didn't win.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
He said it wasn't a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He said, I didn't want your money and I didn't
want you angry that I didn't win a bet for you.
That's the downside to gambling. Not to get up on
my soapbox. But now the access and it's commonplace to bet,
and the proximity that fans have to players to be
able to say something, contact them, and all of a
(03:28):
sudden Venmo is being brought into the picture here.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
He said he had to delete that. By the way.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
If you're looking to get more out of your car wash,
try McGuire's it's spelled meg Uiars, McGuire's new hybrid ceramic washing,
wax boost protection, extreme water beating technology and next time
you wash your car truck, McGuire's reflect your Passion. Pull
question for the final hour of the program is going
(03:56):
to be what well.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
This is one we stumbled on after we stumbled on
the topic that we stumbled upon.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
But the movie Clerks is good and great. We're just okay.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Because we're talking about great movies that didn't have star power. Yes,
at least at the time that the movie was filmed.
Napoleon Dynamite might be a one seed because that was
a great movie, but there's no star power at all.
And even after the fact, there's no star power where
you look back and you go, man, he was Napoleon Dynamite.
(04:29):
And you know, I don't even think the reviews were
very good at the time with Napoleon Dynamite because it
is quirky, but I thought it just the dance scene
in the end is worthy to tune in for that. Yeah,
the best he's got his boots on.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I'll do what I feel like gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yes, if you go back to the website rotten Tomatoes,
that collectively takes all the reviews, you know, Rotten Tomatoes,
it was positive reviews. Okay for Napoleon Dynamite. Awkward but
fun was the synopsis. Okay, Clerk's got ninety two positive
reviews when it came out.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, that's wild. I liked it, I didn't love it.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Diner is another movie that had star power after that movie,
because they had like Mickey Rourke used to be a
big thing. He was a big deal popa Greenwich village.
Mickey Rourke was a star. Kevin Bacon was in that movie,
became a star. Paul Reiser was in there as well.
Steve Gutenberg was in there. Ellen Barkin was in that movie.
(05:41):
So you had actors who became stars after the fact.
Fast and Furious great movie didn't have, you know, necessarily,
you know, nobody knew Vin Diesel, Paul Walker a little bit,
Jordana Brewster.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
Yes, Bartmann, are we just going box office hits with
no stars? Just great movies with no stars?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I would rather go great movies because Fast and Furious,
while I loved it, and I don't think I've missed
any of the ten, even the Tokyo U.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
No Tokyo Drift. Yes, nice.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I think it's got to be what is considered a
great movie? Great movie?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well, Fast and Furious the first one is a fun movie.
It's a fun watch. Yeah, but it's not a great
move correct. Yeah, there's a different like Fast Times at
Richmond High didn't have star power but was a great movie.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I think, right, would we say Fast Times great movie?
No doubt? Okay, yes, tunt If.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
You make almost a dozen of something, wouldn't you think
at least one of them has to be great? I know,
not necessarily, but the odds are being your favorite that
one of those ten. Does anyone think any of those
ten fast and fist movies could be considered great nose
turning out stuff because it makes money?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah, I made a lot of money, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Rocky is probably the number one seed because it wanted
it won the Academy Award.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Nobody knew who Rocky was.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Bert Young Burgess. Meredith might have
been more well known because wasn't he the penguin? Y?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, and Batman, But other than that, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That was one of those movies where once somebody watched it,
that person couldn't stop talking about the movie. And I
remember a woman I worked with in radio at the
University of Dayton. She's like, you got to go see it, Like,
you got to go see it now. I said, it's
nine thirty at night. Well, if you can go see it,
you should go see it now. I said, I'll wait
(07:44):
till this weekend. Okay, might be too late.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But that was one of those movies where you go
boy and he held onto that script because they they
were like, we'll do this movie, but you're not going
to be the star. He's like, nope, then I'm ye.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Rotten Tomatoes has all ten Fast and Furious movies ranked right,
and the first one, the original, is right in the
middle at a fifty five percent positive. But they say
the best one is Furious seven, which embarrassing to say,
I've not seen you got eighty two percent positive.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Okay, so they.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Really hit their stride after six.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
Yeah, yes, I know it wasn't particularly convenient looking back,
but wasn't there something kind of cool and refreshing when
a movie came out and you got to you got
to get the ticket and you got to go on
the ticket holder's line and something like Rocky Your Jaws
and you gotta You're waiting around the block, and everybody
can't wait to get in there with their ticket, and
it's like blocks of lines just to get into the
movie theater.
Speaker 11 (08:41):
I thought there was something looking back special about that.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Wait, are you asking me if por? Are you just
telling me?
Speaker 9 (08:46):
I know it's not better convenience wise, because we want
everything right now and I just want to get in.
I could buy my tickets and advance the specific time.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You know, But you coming up with something in the
seventies or eighties and saying that, I'm curious as.
Speaker 11 (08:55):
To your opinion.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Wasn't there something exciting about going to the movies where
something just came out your two block line across the
street holding your ticket waiting to be allowed in.
Speaker 11 (09:02):
I thought that was kind of awesome back then.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Well, what else were you going to do?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There was a lot, There was no other option, no, no,
there there's no streaming, Todd.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
I understand why that was the case, but I just
I missed those days where you're like, wow.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
You miss everything about this. It was an event going
to the movie. You miss everything about that era.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
I really do you do?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And you were there with your mom.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Holding her hand.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, I'm fourteen.
Speaker 11 (09:29):
I'm waiting my high school tennis jacket. No one else
to the movie.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Can you?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Can you put the tennis to?
Speaker 12 (09:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You know what's coming in today? The gong.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, the gong will be here tomorrow, because Todd told
us he loves the gong show. And usually when it's
a bad musical act or comedian, then you hit the gong.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
We ordered a go I asked the big german. I said,
can you get me a gong? And he ordered a
gong and it comes in today and I will be
banging on the gong all day tomorrow on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So Todd is putting on his that's his high school
tennis jacket at Lincoln High. I think we're all in
the same condition. They're Todd of putting on our high
school jacket, letter jacket.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You know it's a little snug, Yeah, can you button?
It's not that bad?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, Oh, it's got his Lincoln High School. And so
that was Ray Allen was Jesus shuttles Worth at Lincoln
High School. Marvin, So Todd's high school was where Spike
Lee based Jesus Shuttle's worth and he got game correct.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
And Stephan Marbury went there in a couple I think
Marv Albert Okay, I think he went there. I'm not
sure if Todd's making the famous alumni list at Lincoln
High School.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
In Brooklyn, wow, only.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Because of all of the people that went to Lincoln
High schooling.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
All right, if it's East Harford High School, I like
what Stephan Marbury doing now being a legend. Yeah, but
Todd's doing this every single day.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
I just saw Steffan Marbury at the next game.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Did you okay? How's he looking?
Speaker 12 (11:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Looks great.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh, he looks like he could play, looks rich, like
he's not large. No, no, no, oh okay, good for him.
Good it looks good.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Time.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I just so you know, I'm getting the gong. It's
delivered later today and we're gonna set it up over
here that when you start to sing or you have,
you know, a corny joke that I'm hitting the goal
to be busy. I'm gonna have rotator cuffs, sir. I'm
going to need Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
You should wear it like you know, like the Flavor
Flavor clock because he's going to be hitting.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It so much.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Miles in Waco.
Speaker 13 (11:41):
Hi Miles, good morning, Dan Danetz, thanks for taking a call.
A couple of things for you guys. One, I wanted
to see if Fritzy has done a wellness check on Rebecca.
I don't know if you guys swall or not, but
it looks like he's trying to purchase Crystal Palace, so
he's gonna run that into the ground. And then I've
(12:03):
got a couple of movies for you guys.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (12:07):
Uh So, obviously my personal favorite sports movie as a kid,
The sand Watt. I haven't heard it mentioned yet. And
uh second, I think underrated movie, The Outsiders. It has
a who's who's cast, Tom Cruise, Emilio s Dives, Swayze.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, but they weren't famous at the time.
Speaker 13 (12:30):
They turned into stars.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yes they did, Yes they did. Matt Matt Dylan, not
Matt Damon. It's Matt Dillon. He was the heart throb.
Ralph Macio was in there. They had a see Thomas Howell.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
By the way star soul Man.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, can't make soul Men today better not ray Don Chung.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Good movie though, Yeah? Yeah awkward Thomas.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Yeah, No, thank you.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Yes, it is kind of wild when you're like going
through movies that you loved growing up and you're sharing
them with your kids and you're like, oh, I just
had this happen where I forget what the movie was,
but like watching it with my son's fifty, I'm like, dude,
this is like my favorite movie when I grew up,
and it is horribly inappropriate considering things.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know, well, Saturday Night Fever. My wife's you know
who grew up on Staten Island. It's like, oh that
you know this is said in Brooklyn and Staten Island,
and watching it with my daughter, who was probably thirteen
at the time, and she's like, I forgot a lot
of scenes in there.
Speaker 11 (13:37):
There's a woman dancing topless very early in that movie.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
That is the least of the problematic issues of that movie,
I can assure you, Yes, that is, yes, there was
very low on the list of problems.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Before we break quickly, I had the list of famous
alums from Abraham Lincoln High School, and the list is long.
I mean there's Leona Helmsley, the real Estate Lewis Gossip
Junior the actor. It's pretty big time. Neil Diamond, the singer,
many more. Of course, a bunch of athletes, Lance Stevenson, Fritzy,
(14:09):
Is that correct? I believe so A Mizzilly the baseball player,
Arthur Miller, the playwright.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Did Sandy Kofax go to Lincoln?
Speaker 11 (14:18):
I don't know about Kofax, No, I know Simon I
think was went there. Barbara Streisan I thought went to Lincoln.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Neil Simon did not. But there's sixty people in. Todd
is not currently on the list.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Is there somebody that should be replaced with Todd's name?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I think Fritzy has had a better career than Sebastian Telfair.
No offense, he snuck into the pros. Well, I'm not
going to call out Arthur Trest's wildlife photographer from nineteen
fifty eight. I'm not making fun of Sherry Turkle class
(14:53):
of sixty five, social studies professor.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, no offense. Yeah, it's not a long list for
my high school.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
But you're on there on Wikipedia, I would assume, right.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Probably at the top. So far, I'm going through all
of our high schools and none of us are on them. Wait,
I'm not on the William Mason High School. I haven't
made it that far. Okay, Miss Hartford High. They gave
me a portion of the basketball floor because they put
in a new basketball floor, and then they gave me
and I requested out by the three point line if
(15:27):
they were going to give me part of the floor there.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yes, William Mason High School Wikipedia Page notable alumni Percy
Coleman and will Be Pitcher eighteen ninety four, Josh Klein,
NFL defensive lineman or NFL liman and Dan Patrick. You're
on there. There's seven total people and you're one of them.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He relaxed there.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, it was Wait a minute. I mean they should
have a sign as you go into my hometown, you know,
home of I mean they should. They shouldn't they should?
Speaker 11 (16:07):
They should? Okay, a small sign, but they should be
a sign just to say.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
You know what, I will pay for the sign. No,
you can't pay for your own sign. Us a crowd
fun to that point. You're gonna take the Hollywood Walk
of Fame. I got to raise eighty five thousand dollars.
Maybe I should do my hometown first and see how
that goes, and then we'll do the Hollywood Walk of
Fame all I know is Jeff in Hollywood called up
(16:35):
and you know he used to be part of the
committee to have people nominated. And I'm saying, yeah, if
you can do the legwork for me, Yes, Tom.
Speaker 9 (16:43):

be outside the McDonald's for this price or you could
be by this cooler place.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle DP
show Beautiful day at Oakmont. Although I just saw Bryson
Deshamba hit a couple of shots in the rough from
one rough to another and then couldn't get it out
of the rough with the next one. If you put
it in the fairway, it probably looks like the not
(18:30):
that difficult. Of of course, the problem is trying to
keep it in the fairway.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yes, Paul, they were just showing an overhead shot, you know,
the fly by cameras at the at Oakmont, there was
like nine bunkers and this sliver of fairway in between them.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Wild, But they've taken out like one hundred and fifty
bunkers over the years. I think they used to have
like three hundred there. Ernie else knows all about that.
He won four majors, He won the US Open twice,
he won at Oakmont, winner of eighty pro tournaments worldwide. Ernie,
good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. What
do you see when you see Oakmont?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Hey, Dan, good to be with you, my friend. Yeah, no, listen,
I put something on Instagram yesterday, you know, just because
weather plays such a big part in golf. You know,
they've had some wet weather up there in the Oakmont area, Pitts, Pittsburgh,
(19:24):
and I just kind of reminisced of out time in
ninety four. You know, we had a heat wave, you know,
thirty one years ago, and the golf course was rock hard.
But with all the moisture up there in Oakmont, it's
nice and green, and as you just said, if you
could get it in the short grass, you can put
(19:44):
spin on the ball and you can get some control
in your game. And I think that's what most of
the leaders are doing this morning. And I went out
this morning with a bit of moisture and I putting
it in play and from there you can eat some shots.
They've already had two holdouts. We see those two holdouts.
I just saw one. Shane Lowdy just hold out on
(20:04):
number three.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
So do you like playing?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Should the US Open be the toughest golf course you're
going to play that year?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah? I believe that. I mean all throughout my time,
you know, at the highest level, you know, the US
Open was the toughest challenge by a bar none. You know,
every nine again you go to the Open Championship, you know,
I remember in two when we played at Mierfield, there
was a Saturday just as dark cloud came over and
(20:36):
there was all havoc, you know, ensued. You know, even
Tiger had a tough day. You know, he didn't have
too many tough days in his prime, but he had
a tough one. And but other than that, you know
that the US Open is the toughest challenge we have.
You have some of the greatest championship golf courses in
(20:56):
this country, and they like to make them very, very hard,
which is so you know what you're in for.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
What were you twenty four when you wanted oakmand.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Twenty four? It was a long time ago, baby.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But if you could go back and tell that twenty
four year old something, what would you tell yourself?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Well, a lot. I mean, you know, I remember, you know,
in my kind of my speech afterwards, I said, you know,
people will have to be patient with me. You know,
I've got a long way to go. So that was
kind of wise words from a twenty four year old,
because that's exactly what's ensued. You know, it was a
long it's been a long road. I did win another
(21:38):
three majors, you know, starting at twenty fourth. Only when
another three, you know, it just shows you how tough
it can be to win major championships. You know, I
won my first one at twenty four. In my last
one when I was almost forty three, when you know,
Adam Scott had a tough finish you know, at leven.
So I've had some good stretches of golf, thankful I was.
(22:00):
I've been in for the long run. You know, to
have a twenty year career at the top level, you know,
you're very fortunate to have that kind of career. So
it's been it's been a lot of fun, but it's
been a lot of a lot of kind of struggles.
You know, my my game. There's so many disciplines in
the game that you have to master, and over time,
(22:21):
some of them decay a little bit just because of
you know, what's going on in your head. And you know,
obviously I had some putting problems and you know that's
that's kind of that helped me back a little bit.
But for the most you know, it's been a good run.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
When did you first hear the name Tiger Woods?
Speaker 6 (22:41):
No, I mean, I mean a long time ago. I
mean I remember playing the Buick Classic at Westchester Country
Club and that was another favorite golf course of mine,
and Tiger was playing the program, and everybody was kind
of talking about Tiger. I think this was back in
ninety four even or ninety five. I mean, he's a
(23:03):
couple of years younger than me, so you know, we
all kind of stood around his little kid, you know,
and everybody said that he's going to be the next things.
I met Tiger back in those days, and he played
in quite a few events as an amateurs, and I
was paired with him. I think I was paired with
him in ninety five when John Dailey won the Open
(23:25):
Championship at SO and Andrews, I was paired with Peter
Jacobson Tiger myself. You know, I was also paired with
him in the US Opened at Chinnacock in ninety five,
So we played a lot of golf together at a
very early age for him. So I've known him for
a long time.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Did you get it right away that you know?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Because some of the veterans told me, hey, he thinks
he's going to come out here and dominate. And I
remember one prominent golfer told me it was like, hey,
this is completely different when you come out here. And
then he wins like whatever were in Milwaukee. It's like
Hello World, And you know, he didn't open the door,
he knocked down the door.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Yeah. I mean it's like any other sports. You know,
you you go from college football or basketball or baseball
into the pros and there's a different talent level there.
You know, there's a different atmosphere, so to speak. He
didn't quite win his first one. He didn't when his
second one, but I think by the third one he
figured it out. I think he won in Vegas or
(24:30):
something ridiculous. You know. I remember speaking to Tiger. You know,
I had a close finish at the Open Championship with
Tom Lahman won in at Lithems and ANNs and I
finished second. You know, I was sitting in the locker
room that there's just a wall between the eighteenth Green
and the clubhouse where the locker room is the men's
(24:50):
locker room. I sat there, I was having a couple
of beers, you know, just reflecting on you know, you
know how close it was. And Tiger sled in next
to me and he started talking to me, and you know,
I was like, you know, what do you do? What
do you mean? He says, no, you think I'm ready.
I said, what do you mean? What are you talking about?
(25:10):
I says no, you know, I'm thinking about turning pro
And I was probably one of the biggest mistakes of
my life. But you're not good enough.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is Scotty has he graduated to the When we had
Tiger versus the field? Is it Scotty versus the field? Now?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
In these majors in your opinion.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
I saw that you guys starting to talk about that.
Even the players are starting to mention that a bit.
Just when I'm reading comments of really high regarded players
like Justin Thomas, you know, saying how can I catch
this guy? You know that sounds like my language back
in the day, you know, with Tiger, how can I
get close to this guy? So there's already a little
(25:57):
bit of separation and and and and truly so because
the guy's phenomenal. I mean, he's you know when it
gets his patch where he's hot, you know, he's he's
very tough to beat. And to be honest with you,
I've been watching the golf this morning. Scott's this golf
course has made for him. You know, you have to
hear it both ways. You got to put it in
(26:18):
the air. You gotta have a good short game. Everything
gets tested. But it's not the narrowest fairwes I've ever
seen at Oakmont, So it's it's very playable, but in
over four rounds, it's very tough to beat this guy
when he's at his best. So yes, there is thought
like target disk kind of golf.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
What does pressure feel like to you.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Well, it depends on where you at in your game
when you shop. You know, when all your disciplines you
know you you've got them, got them intact. It's it's
a measure of where you at in your game and
how you can prove things to yourself because the pressure,
(27:06):
the highest pressure is when you really get tested, you know,
and if you want to get tested against the field,
pressure is the is the best barometer to test yourself.
So it feels it feels like you getting going through
a test where your game's at when you when you inform.
(27:27):
When you're not inform, it's one of the worst experiences
because you don't trust yourself. If this discipline that you're
not quite mastering at the moment, if it's driving, iron played,
short game putting, especially under pressure putting, you know, things
fall apart if you're not, if you're not really on
top of things. So it can be it can be good,
(27:48):
and it can be really really bad.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
But you can't hide. That's the thing about golf is
when I play on the weekend, I can reload. You
got to go play your foul balls. Payne Stewart once
told me, Hey, the difference between us and a regular
player is our missus. We know we're gonna hit great shots.
It's our miss might be three yards off, yours might
(28:10):
be thirty yards off. But have you had that feeling
on the golf course where you go I could just
leave now and walk off the course and be done,
go have a beer, and you know, I forget, you know,
the hell with the last round.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Absolutely, you know, And the longer you play, the more
those kinds of situations can happen, you know, especially me
at fifty five. Now, if I have to put myself
in that situation and I'm not on top of my game,
that golf course will eat you alive. You know, if
you're not on your game. The greens there are some
(28:50):
of the most treacherous greens you'll ever put on. You're
going to see four parts, they believe me, over this
week you're going to see got shots out of the
rough and you're right and Page it is right in
Major Champion at golf, it's not about the great shots.
It is, yes, but there's those shots that you miss
and you don't have a chance of hitting a shot
(29:10):
near the flag. Where do you play it to we
have a chance to get the ball up and down
or save a stroke with save two strokes, and that
at the end of the day can be winning or losing.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
The end, if I made you drink a beer each
hole in the major, who would be who would have
the most majors?
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Without a doubt? John Day.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Have you ever had a nineteenth hole sit down with
John where you have a couple couple of beers?
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Now, listen, I've known John before the US public knew
about John. John came down to South Africa in the
late eighties early nineties and he was a superstar down
there before he became a superstar in the US. He
wont some tournaments down there. We were very young in
those days. And you know, if I was going to
(30:06):
go to university, I had to do my military service.
But I had a couple of US college offers and
I would have gone to Arkansas. Can you imagine that
you and John? Yeah, you know we might have would
have definitely met there. But he's a good friend. He
still plays champions to a golf No, undoubtedly the guy. Yeah,
(30:30):
he's slowed down a lot now, but in his heyday,
not even I could come. Yeah, I could have a couple.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Uh, it's good that John slowing down.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, well we all slow down, and yes.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
You know when I brought up pressure, I was wondering
about you know, we can't fathom what Rory was going
through that Sunday at Augusta because it was like it
wasn't joy. There was relief, real relief there. What is
that feeling like of you just want the round, like
you're just holding on for dear life and just exhale.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
That is so true what you say. When I watched it,
I was an agony for him. You know, I could
see the pressure even when he was making puts like
on number ten, and so there was not a big
relief of smile on him on his face because he
knew there were really tough, difficult holes coming up, you know,
eleven and a twelve. I mean there's a disaster on
(31:32):
every single hole at Augusta, you know, very much like
in major golf. So but the one that really shocked
me because he got really lucky on eleven because it
was one roll away from making double. The ball was
going in the water on his second shot. But then
on thirteen when he laid up, I think even he
(31:52):
surprised himself because he's such an attacking player that he
laid up and he thought, okay, I never really placed,
but I'm going to play safe. And then he dunks
his third shot in the creek right of the hole,
where there's a slope that brings the ball back down
to the to the hole. So that's when I realized, Wow,
(32:13):
he's really trying harder. And then he comes back with
the tough shots. You know, I'm fifteen.
Speaker 12 (32:18):
He here it.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
You know, it makes eagle there sixteen. He is an
unbelievable shot. Seventeen, that iron shot, and then on eighteen
he screws it up. It was an agony to watch,
to be honest, but happy for him.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What's the coolest thing in your office?
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Well, I'm saying yeah, in our design office. You know,
my guy Greg Letchie, he just left the office. I'm
sitting on his computer.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Oh okay, who are these things?
Speaker 17 (32:47):
You know, I've got some memorabilia. I've got a poo yeah,
Pebble Beach. You know, I never one day, but it's
a beautiful photo. But I got some US Open stuff here,
and I got some signature stuff from Jack Nicholas and
Arnold Palmer and and so, and I've got some other
sports memorabilia. So it's almost like it's almost like your
place year. I see you've got a lot of.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I got a lot, Yeah, I got a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Do you ask Tiger for an autograph?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
I've got an autograph from him, absolutely, but a name too. Well. Now,
you know, as he as he gets old, I'm going
to get more work.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yes, you don't want to get it when you're competing
against him.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
No, no, we went to we went. You know, his
rivals said to speak, but he he got me eighty
five percent of the time. Unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Great to talk to you. Thanks for sharing, Ernie, you're
the best.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
That's Ernie Else World Golf Hall of Famer, won four majors,
won the Open twice, and won at that golf course
that they're playing right now at Oakemond. We'll take a
break last call for phone calls. What we learn once
in store tomorrow after this.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern six am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP Fun Show.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Today, stumbled upon the best movie without stars in it.
As we were making the comparison with the NBA Finals
Best Movie. I think Rocky is probably a number one
seed there, given that it won the Academy Award, launched
Sylvester Stallone, that Rocky, Uh what five movies?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Six movies?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I forgot how many movies with Rocky, but nobody knew
who Sylvester Stallone was.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
That's nice for you to say, thank you.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I don't know if that's any.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Good, yes, Pauline.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Do you guys know if Carl Weather's Apollo Creede and
he was a football player before that? Had he done
a lot of acting before Rocky? Or was that like
he was in great shape and a football player and
he got the role.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Don't remember him in anything. He was also in Happy
Gilmore right then he lose his hand. Yeah he was chubbs.
Yeah jobs, Yeah, not around for the sequel.
Speaker 11 (35:05):
Gavid, rock what's the matter with you? There is no tomorrow.
You thought I was tough this guy, I will kill you.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Game four Panthers and Oilers.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Your transition from the end of that to promoting.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Game four Panthers oil Well, this goes on all the time.
This isn't just on the show. It's Todd will do
this walking around the office, and then I just go
okay and then move on to something like the crazy.
Speaker 11 (35:28):
Guy in the train in New York. You just kind
of you're used to it. You ignore, it's not anything
a big deal.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, let me see anything else. How about this day
in sports history? Pom I got a couple for you.
Aber Doubleday grated.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
It's funny you say that he gets credit for inventing
the game of baseball in eighteen thirty nine. However, some
say it was created well before that. Wayne Gretzky won
the Heart Trophy. Big surprise there in nineteen eighty five,
when nine of those in a row. The Bulls won
their first NBA time nineteen ninety one against the Lakers.
Oh or to one, that's when Magic hurt the thigh, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, But nobody brings up the fact that Magic was injured.
When Mike wins the title, Lebron won when an NFL
Steve Young too, It is definitely me our buddy. Steve
Young retired from the NFL in two thousand.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Bobby Orr became the youngest player in NHL history to
be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was
thirty one, and he had.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Bad knees, and uh, they waived the usual three year
waiting period for Bobby Orr They got in at the
age of thirty one, or they could have just waited. Okay,
thank you John.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Do you remember the first regular season interleague baseball game?
It happened on this date in nineteen ninety seven. If
you said the Giants beat the Rangers, you would be correct.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Sir three, Thank you Tom. Did you scoreboard?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
And then doc Ellis, so the Pirates no hit the
Podres on this date in nineteen seventy. Was he on
LSD when he threw the no hitter?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
I host because we just asked it.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Well, I think he was on LSD, maybe in a
game with the Reds in Cincinnati where he hit like
four of the first five batters. But doc Ellis was
he was wild crazy, I mean.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
June twelfth, nineteen seventy, reportedly under the influence of.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
LSD E lou in Cincinnati, first of of a gold
Header performance enhancing.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, well it enhanced him to be crazier. I think
I remember that he went into the stand. Now, I'm
trying to remember this. My friend was a huge Pirate fan,
and I believe we were at that game, and I
remember doc Ellis was in the stands for Game two
for some reason. Know why I remember them. I could
(38:01):
have just made that up.
Speaker 11 (38:02):
Todd, just hanging out a looking to fight somebody.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
I know you wouldn't know. I don't think so.
Speaker 11 (38:06):
Hanging with a hot dog got a drink among the fans.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yes, Chris and Syracuse. Hi Chris, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (38:13):

forty is awesome, and I loved your talking Outsiders Cherry
bounced Diane Lane was awesome.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
Agan.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Question for you, I'm gonna throw some great Stoner characters
in great movies if you have a fab Big Lebowski,
The Dude, Fast Times with Spiccoli, tru Romance, Brad Pittis,
Floyd pulp Fiction, Eric stoths Lance and I know he
just had a cameo, but i'd loved Charlie Sheen and
Farris Bielder's day Off.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Okay, yeah, he's in the police station. He's talking to
Jennifer Gray. Pretty good hitting, honor. I haven't seen The
Big Lebowski all the way through. I know I wasn't
entertained by it. I tried, I hate say that love
Jeff Bridges, but I wasn't entertained with the big Lebanski,
(39:06):
Barry in Santa fe Hi Barry.
Speaker 12 (39:10):
Good Morning Fellows, Good Morning chat Brow. Lots of okay
movies mentioned today. Great movie with an unknown cast that
went on to become superstars stand by Me, River Phoenix,
Corey sevilb and Jerry O'Connell. Keep it at Sutherland of
John Keysack. Excellent movie, unknown cast, he went on to
(39:33):
be superstar.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Good job, Rob Reiner, I think was the producer or
director of that. Yes, Marvin, what about the Goonies? Not
a great movie.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
There's a there's a window of age that loved that movie.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Yes, yes, yes, you're right, so it might just be
age for me. Yeah, that's a great movie.
Speaker 11 (39:53):
Mar So upset just now. And you said they didn't
think it was a great movie.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Josh Brolin, Yeah, yeah, Josh was in the By the way,
read Josh Brolin's book. Wow you want to talk about
crazy childhood? You know his dad is married to Barbara Streissan.
His mom was crazy. He was the designated driver. He
was driving her to bars. She I mean a lucky kid's.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Right around New York City.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I don't know if he's hanging out with Babs. I'm
talking about his mom.
Speaker 12 (40:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
It's wild.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
And he's a really bright guy, and he's very good at,
you know, explaining what happened in his childhood, like his
mom used to have wild animals and like sick the
animals on him and his brother.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
It's like you know when you look back onto your
childhood and you go, I think this is normal. You know,
my dad just took off this belt. My mom just
went out and cut a switch off a tree, Like,
all right, this is normal. And then you tell your
kids that you're like, did they get away with it?
I go, yeah, they were my parents.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
The neighbors encourage me.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
Yeah, yeah, you better, you're gonna get it.
Speaker 14 (41:16):
As a matter of fact, if you weren't publicly hitting
your kid, other parents were like, you better semeck that kid.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Yeah, what's wrong with him? Yeah yeah. Things that make
you go, hm, Todd, what did I learn today?
Speaker 9 (41:30):
Scene reminds us of rightfully so, just because the Knicks
haven't shared a specific plan with the press if they're
firing their coach, doesn't mean they don't.
Speaker 11 (41:36):
Have a plan.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Thanks for the phone calls, emails, tweets. They all around
support a lot of fun today. We'll try to do
it again tomorrow. Fritzy's seat and Marv Paula yours truly,
We'll talk to you on the meat Friday
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour in this Thursday Dan and the dan 's
Dan Patrick Show. Our starting lineup, it doesn't change. It's
fritzy seat and Marv Pauli and yours truly are starting five.
I don't know, maybe we lack a little star power
there are we kind of like the Pacers.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Maybe what's the cop here?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Maybe? Okay, see, maybe that would make me, Shay Gilges,
you've been doing it way longer than Yeah. Yeah, maybe
you know we're lacking star power too. People complaining that
there's no stars in the NBA Finals. Here's Lebron James
talking about that.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
We praise a lot of individuals, and rightfully so. We
have unbelievable individuals in our sport over the years have
done great things and have put themselves in position to
be talked about.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
But one thing we cannot disrespect is great teams. You know,
we have this Indiana OKAC situation, and these are two
great teams. And if you are a basketball fan and
you really love our game and you can learn so
much from watching the way those both of those teams play.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I like to support there with Lebron on his podcast.
The US Open is underway. Beautiful day in Pittsburgh. Outside
of Pittsburgh, oak wont Country Club. Pretty good scores today
so far the US Open. It's today through the weekend
on USA, NBC and Peacock. Good morning if you're watching
on Peacock. That's our streaming partner. Download the app if
(01:32):
you haven't done so. Hall of Fame golfer Ernie Else
who won it Oakmont. He will join us coming up
in a little bit. But the Pacers over the Thunder.
They're up to to one Friday night Game four, must
win Game four. OK see because the team that wins
Game three in the last twenty five years they go
(01:53):
on to win the NBA Championship eighty percent of the time.
You got a must must win situation for ok and
they're favored by six in Indiana coming up eight seven
to seven three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle at tp show. We stumbled onto
something based off of the lack of star power in
(02:14):
the NBA Finals, which I'm not lamenting, by the way.
I couldn't care I'm just I watch. I couldn't care
less what I love to have, you know, the Lakers
in there against the Boston Celtics, or you know, throw
out the matchup that has star power.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yes, but we don't have it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So it's either we don't have it, I can whine
about it, or we don't have it and I can
watch what we do have. Because somebody's going to win
a championship here who's never won a championship Before.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The US Open.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Scotty Scheffler said he had to delete his Venmo account
because he says that he hears from fans and he
had to get rid of his Venmo account because he
was either getting paid by people who won bets because
of him, or people were asking him for money when
he didn't win.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
He said it wasn't a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He said, I didn't want your money and I didn't
want you angry that I didn't win a bet for you.
That's the downside to gambling. Not to get up on
my soapbox. But now the access and it's commonplace to bet,
and the proximity that fans have to players to be
able to say something, contact them, and all of a
(03:28):
sudden Venmo is being brought into the picture here.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
He said he had to delete that. By the way.

question for the final hour of the program is going
(03:56):
to be what well.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
This is one we stumbled on after we stumbled on
the topic that we stumbled upon.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
But the movie Clerks is good and great. We're just okay.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Because we're talking about great movies that didn't have star power. Yes,
at least at the time that the movie was filmed.
Napoleon Dynamite might be a one seed because that was
a great movie, but there's no star power at all.
And even after the fact, there's no star power where
you look back and you go, man, he was Napoleon Dynamite.
(04:29):
And you know, I don't even think the reviews were
very good at the time with Napoleon Dynamite because it
is quirky, but I thought it just the dance scene
in the end is worthy to tune in for that. Yeah,
the best he's got his boots on.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I'll do what I feel like gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yes, if you go back to the website rotten Tomatoes,
that collectively takes all the reviews, you know, Rotten Tomatoes,
it was positive reviews. Okay for Napoleon Dynamite. Awkward but
fun was the synopsis. Okay, Clerk's got ninety two positive
reviews when it came out.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, that's wild. I liked it, I didn't love it.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Diner is another movie that had star power after that movie,
because they had like Mickey Rourke used to be a
big thing. He was a big deal popa Greenwich village.
Mickey Rourke was a star. Kevin Bacon was in that movie,
became a star. Paul Reiser was in there as well.
Steve Gutenberg was in there. Ellen Barkin was in that movie.
(05:41):
So you had actors who became stars after the fact.
Fast and Furious great movie didn't have, you know, necessarily,
you know, nobody knew Vin Diesel, Paul Walker a little bit,
Jordana Brewster.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
Yes, Bartmann, are we just going box office hits with
no stars? Just great movies with no stars?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I would rather go great movies because Fast and Furious,
while I loved it, and I don't think I've missed
any of the ten, even the Tokyo U.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
No Tokyo Drift. Yes, nice.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I think it's got to be what is considered a
great movie? Great movie?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well, Fast and Furious the first one is a fun movie.
It's a fun watch. Yeah, but it's not a great
move correct. Yeah, there's a different like Fast Times at
Richmond High didn't have star power but was a great movie.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I think, right, would we say Fast Times great movie?
No doubt? Okay, yes, tunt If.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
You make almost a dozen of something, wouldn't you think
at least one of them has to be great? I know,
not necessarily, but the odds are being your favorite that
one of those ten. Does anyone think any of those
ten fast and fist movies could be considered great nose
turning out stuff because it makes money?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah, I made a lot of money, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Rocky is probably the number one seed because it wanted
it won the Academy Award.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Nobody knew who Rocky was.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Bert Young Burgess. Meredith might have
been more well known because wasn't he the penguin? Y?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, and Batman, But other than that, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That was one of those movies where once somebody watched it,
that person couldn't stop talking about the movie. And I
remember a woman I worked with in radio at the
University of Dayton. She's like, you got to go see it, Like,
you got to go see it now. I said, it's
nine thirty at night. Well, if you can go see it,
you should go see it now. I said, I'll wait
(07:44):
till this weekend. Okay, might be too late.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But that was one of those movies where you go
boy and he held onto that script because they they
were like, we'll do this movie, but you're not going
to be the star. He's like, nope, then I'm ye.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Rotten Tomatoes has all ten Fast and Furious movies ranked right,
and the first one, the original, is right in the
middle at a fifty five percent positive. But they say
the best one is Furious seven, which embarrassing to say,
I've not seen you got eighty two percent positive.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Okay, so they.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Really hit their stride after six.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
Yeah, yes, I know it wasn't particularly convenient looking back,
but wasn't there something kind of cool and refreshing when
a movie came out and you got to you got
to get the ticket and you got to go on
the ticket holder's line and something like Rocky Your Jaws
and you gotta You're waiting around the block, and everybody
can't wait to get in there with their ticket, and
it's like blocks of lines just to get into the
movie theater.
Speaker 11 (08:41):
I thought there was something looking back special about that.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Wait, are you asking me if por? Are you just
telling me?
Speaker 9 (08:46):
I know it's not better convenience wise, because we want
everything right now and I just want to get in.
I could buy my tickets and advance the specific time.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You know, But you coming up with something in the
seventies or eighties and saying that, I'm curious as.
Speaker 11 (08:55):
To your opinion.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Wasn't there something exciting about going to the movies where
something just came out your two block line across the
street holding your ticket waiting to be allowed in.
Speaker 11 (09:02):
I thought that was kind of awesome back then.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Well, what else were you going to do?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There was a lot, There was no other option, no, no,
there there's no streaming, Todd.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
I understand why that was the case, but I just
I missed those days where you're like, wow.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
You miss everything about this. It was an event going
to the movie. You miss everything about that era.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
I really do you do?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And you were there with your mom.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Holding her hand.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, I'm fourteen.
Speaker 11 (09:29):
I'm waiting my high school tennis jacket. No one else
to the movie.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Can you?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Can you put the tennis to?
Speaker 12 (09:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You know what's coming in today? The gong.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, the gong will be here tomorrow, because Todd told
us he loves the gong show. And usually when it's
a bad musical act or comedian, then you hit the gong.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
We ordered a go I asked the big german. I said,
can you get me a gong? And he ordered a
gong and it comes in today and I will be
banging on the gong all day tomorrow on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So Todd is putting on his that's his high school
tennis jacket at Lincoln High. I think we're all in
the same condition. They're Todd of putting on our high
school jacket, letter jacket.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You know it's a little snug, Yeah, can you button?
It's not that bad?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, Oh, it's got his Lincoln High School. And so
that was Ray Allen was Jesus shuttles Worth at Lincoln
High School. Marvin, So Todd's high school was where Spike
Lee based Jesus Shuttle's worth and he got game correct.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
And Stephan Marbury went there in a couple I think
Marv Albert Okay, I think he went there. I'm not
sure if Todd's making the famous alumni list at Lincoln
High School.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
In Brooklyn, wow, only.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Because of all of the people that went to Lincoln
High schooling.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
All right, if it's East Harford High School, I like
what Stephan Marbury doing now being a legend. Yeah, but
Todd's doing this every single day.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
I just saw Steffan Marbury at the next game.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Did you okay? How's he looking?
Speaker 12 (11:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Looks great.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh, he looks like he could play, looks rich, like
he's not large. No, no, no, oh okay, good for him.
Good it looks good.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Time.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I just so you know, I'm getting the gong. It's
delivered later today and we're gonna set it up over
here that when you start to sing or you have,
you know, a corny joke that I'm hitting the goal
to be busy. I'm gonna have rotator cuffs, sir. I'm
going to need Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
You should wear it like you know, like the Flavor
Flavor clock because he's going to be hitting.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It so much.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Miles in Waco.
Speaker 13 (11:41):
Hi Miles, good morning, Dan Danetz, thanks for taking a call.
A couple of things for you guys. One, I wanted
to see if Fritzy has done a wellness check on Rebecca.
I don't know if you guys swall or not, but
it looks like he's trying to purchase Crystal Palace, so
he's gonna run that into the ground. And then I've
(12:03):
got a couple of movies for you guys.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (12:07):
Uh So, obviously my personal favorite sports movie as a kid,
The sand Watt. I haven't heard it mentioned yet. And
uh second, I think underrated movie, The Outsiders. It has
a who's who's cast, Tom Cruise, Emilio s Dives, Swayze.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, but they weren't famous at the time.
Speaker 13 (12:30):
They turned into stars.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yes they did, Yes they did. Matt Matt Dylan, not
Matt Damon. It's Matt Dillon. He was the heart throb.
Ralph Macio was in there. They had a see Thomas Howell.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
By the way star soul Man.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, can't make soul Men today better not ray Don Chung.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Good movie though, Yeah? Yeah awkward Thomas.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Yeah, No, thank you.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Yes, it is kind of wild when you're like going
through movies that you loved growing up and you're sharing
them with your kids and you're like, oh, I just
had this happen where I forget what the movie was,
but like watching it with my son's fifty, I'm like, dude,
this is like my favorite movie when I grew up,
and it is horribly inappropriate considering things.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know, well, Saturday Night Fever. My wife's you know
who grew up on Staten Island. It's like, oh that
you know this is said in Brooklyn and Staten Island,
and watching it with my daughter, who was probably thirteen
at the time, and she's like, I forgot a lot
of scenes in there.
Speaker 11 (13:37):
There's a woman dancing topless very early in that movie.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
That is the least of the problematic issues of that movie,
I can assure you, Yes, that is, yes, there was
very low on the list of problems.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Before we break quickly, I had the list of famous
alums from Abraham Lincoln High School, and the list is long.
I mean there's Leona Helmsley, the real Estate Lewis Gossip
Junior the actor. It's pretty big time. Neil Diamond, the singer,
many more. Of course, a bunch of athletes, Lance Stevenson, Fritzy,
(14:09):
Is that correct? I believe so A Mizzilly the baseball player,
Arthur Miller, the playwright.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Did Sandy Kofax go to Lincoln?
Speaker 11 (14:18):
I don't know about Kofax, No, I know Simon I
think was went there. Barbara Streisan I thought went to Lincoln.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Neil Simon did not. But there's sixty people in. Todd
is not currently on the list.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Is there somebody that should be replaced with Todd's name?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I think Fritzy has had a better career than Sebastian Telfair.
No offense, he snuck into the pros. Well, I'm not
going to call out Arthur Trest's wildlife photographer from nineteen
fifty eight. I'm not making fun of Sherry Turkle class
(14:53):
of sixty five, social studies professor.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, no offense. Yeah, it's not a long list for
my high school.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
But you're on there on Wikipedia, I would assume, right.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Probably at the top. So far, I'm going through all
of our high schools and none of us are on them. Wait,
I'm not on the William Mason High School. I haven't
made it that far. Okay, Miss Hartford High. They gave
me a portion of the basketball floor because they put
in a new basketball floor, and then they gave me
and I requested out by the three point line if
(15:27):
they were going to give me part of the floor there.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yes, William Mason High School Wikipedia Page notable alumni Percy
Coleman and will Be Pitcher eighteen ninety four, Josh Klein,
NFL defensive lineman or NFL liman and Dan Patrick. You're
on there. There's seven total people and you're one of them.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He relaxed there.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, it was Wait a minute. I mean they should
have a sign as you go into my hometown, you know,
home of I mean they should. They shouldn't they should?
Speaker 11 (16:07):
They should? Okay, a small sign, but they should be
a sign just to say.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
You know what, I will pay for the sign. No,
you can't pay for your own sign. Us a crowd
fun to that point. You're gonna take the Hollywood Walk
of Fame. I got to raise eighty five thousand dollars.
Maybe I should do my hometown first and see how
that goes, and then we'll do the Hollywood Walk of
Fame all I know is Jeff in Hollywood called up
(16:35):
and you know he used to be part of the
committee to have people nominated. And I'm saying, yeah, if
you can do the legwork for me, Yes, Tom.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
I like how these different price point where you could
be outside the McDonald's for this price or you could
be by this cooler place.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle DP
show Beautiful day at Oakmont. Although I just saw Bryson
Deshamba hit a couple of shots in the rough from
one rough to another and then couldn't get it out
of the rough with the next one. If you put
it in the fairway, it probably looks like the not
(18:30):
that difficult. Of of course, the problem is trying to
keep it in the fairway.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yes, Paul, they were just showing an overhead shot, you know,
the fly by cameras at the at Oakmont, there was
like nine bunkers and this sliver of fairway in between them.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Wild, But they've taken out like one hundred and fifty
bunkers over the years. I think they used to have
like three hundred there. Ernie else knows all about that.
He won four majors, He won the US Open twice,
he won at Oakmont, winner of eighty pro tournaments worldwide. Ernie,
good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. What
do you see when you see Oakmont?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Hey, Dan, good to be with you, my friend. Yeah, no, listen,
I put something on Instagram yesterday, you know, just because
weather plays such a big part in golf. You know,
they've had some wet weather up there in the Oakmont area, Pitts, Pittsburgh,
(19:24):
and I just kind of reminisced of out time in
ninety four. You know, we had a heat wave, you know,
thirty one years ago, and the golf course was rock hard.
But with all the moisture up there in Oakmont, it's
nice and green, and as you just said, if you
could get it in the short grass, you can put
(19:44):
spin on the ball and you can get some control
in your game. And I think that's what most of
the leaders are doing this morning. And I went out
this morning with a bit of moisture and I putting
it in play and from there you can eat some shots.
They've already had two holdouts. We see those two holdouts.
I just saw one. Shane Lowdy just hold out on
(20:04):
number three.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
So do you like playing?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Should the US Open be the toughest golf course you're
going to play that year?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah? I believe that. I mean all throughout my time,
you know, at the highest level, you know, the US
Open was the toughest challenge by a bar none. You know,
every nine again you go to the Open Championship, you know,
I remember in two when we played at Mierfield, there
was a Saturday just as dark cloud came over and
(20:36):
there was all havoc, you know, ensued. You know, even
Tiger had a tough day. You know, he didn't have
too many tough days in his prime, but he had
a tough one. And but other than that, you know
that the US Open is the toughest challenge we have.
You have some of the greatest championship golf courses in
(20:56):
this country, and they like to make them very, very hard,
which is so you know what you're in for.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
What were you twenty four when you wanted oakmand.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Twenty four? It was a long time ago, baby.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But if you could go back and tell that twenty
four year old something, what would you tell yourself?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Well, a lot. I mean, you know, I remember, you know,
in my kind of my speech afterwards, I said, you know,
people will have to be patient with me. You know,
I've got a long way to go. So that was
kind of wise words from a twenty four year old,
because that's exactly what's ensued. You know, it was a
long it's been a long road. I did win another
(21:38):
three majors, you know, starting at twenty fourth. Only when
another three, you know, it just shows you how tough
it can be to win major championships. You know, I
won my first one at twenty four. In my last
one when I was almost forty three, when you know,
Adam Scott had a tough finish you know, at leven.
So I've had some good stretches of golf, thankful I was.
(22:00):
I've been in for the long run. You know, to
have a twenty year career at the top level, you know,
you're very fortunate to have that kind of career. So
it's been it's been a lot of fun, but it's
been a lot of a lot of kind of struggles.
You know, my my game. There's so many disciplines in
the game that you have to master, and over time,
(22:21):
some of them decay a little bit just because of
you know, what's going on in your head. And you know,
obviously I had some putting problems and you know that's
that's kind of that helped me back a little bit.
But for the most you know, it's been a good run.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
When did you first hear the name Tiger Woods?
Speaker 6 (22:41):
No, I mean, I mean a long time ago. I
mean I remember playing the Buick Classic at Westchester Country
Club and that was another favorite golf course of mine,
and Tiger was playing the program, and everybody was kind
of talking about Tiger. I think this was back in
ninety four even or ninety five. I mean, he's a
(23:03):
couple of years younger than me, so you know, we
all kind of stood around his little kid, you know,
and everybody said that he's going to be the next things.
I met Tiger back in those days, and he played
in quite a few events as an amateurs, and I
was paired with him. I think I was paired with
him in ninety five when John Dailey won the Open
(23:25):
Championship at SO and Andrews, I was paired with Peter
Jacobson Tiger myself. You know, I was also paired with
him in the US Opened at Chinnacock in ninety five,
So we played a lot of golf together at a
very early age for him. So I've known him for
a long time.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Did you get it right away that you know?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Because some of the veterans told me, hey, he thinks
he's going to come out here and dominate. And I
remember one prominent golfer told me it was like, hey,
this is completely different when you come out here. And
then he wins like whatever were in Milwaukee. It's like
Hello World, And you know, he didn't open the door,
he knocked down the door.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Yeah. I mean it's like any other sports. You know,
you you go from college football or basketball or baseball
into the pros and there's a different talent level there.
You know, there's a different atmosphere, so to speak. He
didn't quite win his first one. He didn't when his
second one, but I think by the third one he
figured it out. I think he won in Vegas or
(24:30):
something ridiculous. You know. I remember speaking to Tiger. You know,
I had a close finish at the Open Championship with
Tom Lahman won in at Lithems and ANNs and I
finished second. You know, I was sitting in the locker
room that there's just a wall between the eighteenth Green
and the clubhouse where the locker room is the men's
(24:50):
locker room. I sat there, I was having a couple
of beers, you know, just reflecting on you know, you
know how close it was. And Tiger sled in next
to me and he started talking to me, and you know,
I was like, you know, what do you do? What
do you mean? He says, no, you think I'm ready.
I said, what do you mean? What are you talking about?
(25:10):
I says no, you know, I'm thinking about turning pro
And I was probably one of the biggest mistakes of
my life. But you're not good enough.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is Scotty has he graduated to the When we had
Tiger versus the field? Is it Scotty versus the field? Now?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
In these majors in your opinion.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
I saw that you guys starting to talk about that.
Even the players are starting to mention that a bit.
Just when I'm reading comments of really high regarded players
like Justin Thomas, you know, saying how can I catch
this guy? You know that sounds like my language back
in the day, you know, with Tiger, how can I
get close to this guy? So there's already a little
(25:57):
bit of separation and and and and truly so because
the guy's phenomenal. I mean, he's you know when it
gets his patch where he's hot, you know, he's he's
very tough to beat. And to be honest with you,
I've been watching the golf this morning. Scott's this golf
course has made for him. You know, you have to
hear it both ways. You got to put it in
(26:18):
the air. You gotta have a good short game. Everything
gets tested. But it's not the narrowest fairwes I've ever
seen at Oakmont, So it's it's very playable, but in
over four rounds, it's very tough to beat this guy
when he's at his best. So yes, there is thought
like target disk kind of golf.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
What does pressure feel like to you.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Well, it depends on where you at in your game
when you shop. You know, when all your disciplines you
know you you've got them, got them intact. It's it's
a measure of where you at in your game and
how you can prove things to yourself because the pressure,
(27:06):
the highest pressure is when you really get tested, you know,
and if you want to get tested against the field,
pressure is the is the best barometer to test yourself.
So it feels it feels like you getting going through
a test where your game's at when you when you inform.
(27:27):
When you're not inform, it's one of the worst experiences
because you don't trust yourself. If this discipline that you're
not quite mastering at the moment, if it's driving, iron played,
short game putting, especially under pressure putting, you know, things
fall apart if you're not, if you're not really on
top of things. So it can be it can be good,
(27:48):
and it can be really really bad.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
But you can't hide. That's the thing about golf is
when I play on the weekend, I can reload. You
got to go play your foul balls. Payne Stewart once
told me, Hey, the difference between us and a regular
player is our missus. We know we're gonna hit great shots.
It's our miss might be three yards off, yours might
(28:10):
be thirty yards off. But have you had that feeling
on the golf course where you go I could just
leave now and walk off the course and be done,
go have a beer, and you know, I forget, you know,
the hell with the last round.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Absolutely, you know, And the longer you play, the more
those kinds of situations can happen, you know, especially me
at fifty five. Now, if I have to put myself
in that situation and I'm not on top of my game,
that golf course will eat you alive. You know, if
you're not on your game. The greens there are some
(28:50):
of the most treacherous greens you'll ever put on. You're
going to see four parts, they believe me, over this
week you're going to see got shots out of the
rough and you're right and Page it is right in
Major Champion at golf, it's not about the great shots.
It is, yes, but there's those shots that you miss
and you don't have a chance of hitting a shot
(29:10):
near the flag. Where do you play it to we
have a chance to get the ball up and down
or save a stroke with save two strokes, and that
at the end of the day can be winning or losing.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
The end, if I made you drink a beer each
hole in the major, who would be who would have
the most majors?
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Without a doubt? John Day.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Have you ever had a nineteenth hole sit down with
John where you have a couple couple of beers?
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Now, listen, I've known John before the US public knew
about John. John came down to South Africa in the
late eighties early nineties and he was a superstar down
there before he became a superstar in the US. He
wont some tournaments down there. We were very young in
those days. And you know, if I was going to
(30:06):
go to university, I had to do my military service.
But I had a couple of US college offers and
I would have gone to Arkansas. Can you imagine that
you and John? Yeah, you know we might have would
have definitely met there. But he's a good friend. He
still plays champions to a golf No, undoubtedly the guy. Yeah,
(30:30):
he's slowed down a lot now, but in his heyday,
not even I could come. Yeah, I could have a couple.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Uh, it's good that John slowing down.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, well we all slow down, and yes.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
You know when I brought up pressure, I was wondering
about you know, we can't fathom what Rory was going
through that Sunday at Augusta because it was like it
wasn't joy. There was relief, real relief there. What is
that feeling like of you just want the round, like
you're just holding on for dear life and just exhale.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
That is so true what you say. When I watched it,
I was an agony for him. You know, I could
see the pressure even when he was making puts like
on number ten, and so there was not a big
relief of smile on him on his face because he
knew there were really tough, difficult holes coming up, you know,
eleven and a twelve. I mean there's a disaster on
(31:32):
every single hole at Augusta, you know, very much like
in major golf. So but the one that really shocked
me because he got really lucky on eleven because it
was one roll away from making double. The ball was
going in the water on his second shot. But then
on thirteen when he laid up, I think even he
(31:52):
surprised himself because he's such an attacking player that he
laid up and he thought, okay, I never really placed,
but I'm going to play safe. And then he dunks
his third shot in the creek right of the hole,
where there's a slope that brings the ball back down
to the to the hole. So that's when I realized, Wow,
(32:13):
he's really trying harder. And then he comes back with
the tough shots. You know, I'm fifteen.
Speaker 12 (32:18):
He here it.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
You know, it makes eagle there sixteen. He is an
unbelievable shot. Seventeen, that iron shot, and then on eighteen
he screws it up. It was an agony to watch,
to be honest, but happy for him.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What's the coolest thing in your office?
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Well, I'm saying yeah, in our design office. You know,

Speaker 6 (33:29):

rivals said to speak, but he he got me eighty
five percent of the time. Unfortunately.

Today, stumbled upon the best movie without stars in it.
As we were making the comparison with the NBA Finals
Best Movie. I think Rocky is probably a number one
seed there, given that it won the Academy Award, launched
Sylvester Stallone, that Rocky, Uh what five movies?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Six movies?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I forgot how many movies with Rocky, but nobody knew
who Sylvester Stallone was.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
That's nice for you to say, thank you.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I don't know if that's any.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Good, yes, Pauline.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Do you guys know if Carl Weather's Apollo Creede and
he was a football player before that? Had he done
a lot of acting before Rocky? Or was that like
he was in great shape and a football player and
he got the role.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Don't remember him in anything. He was also in Happy
Gilmore right then he lose his hand. Yeah he was chubbs.
Yeah jobs, Yeah, not around for the sequel.
Speaker 11 (35:05):
Gavid, rock what's the matter with you? There is no tomorrow.
You thought I was tough this guy, I will kill you.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Game four Panthers and Oilers.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Your transition from the end of that to promoting.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Game four Panthers oil Well, this goes on all the time.
This isn't just on the show. It's Todd will do
this walking around the office, and then I just go
okay and then move on to something like the crazy.
Speaker 11 (35:28):
Guy in the train in New York. You just kind
of you're used to it. You ignore, it's not anything
a big deal.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, let me see anything else. How about this day
in sports history? Pom I got a couple for you.
Aber Doubleday grated.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
It's funny you say that he gets credit for inventing
the game of baseball in eighteen thirty nine. However, some
say it was created well before that. Wayne Gretzky won
the Heart Trophy. Big surprise there in nineteen eighty five,
when nine of those in a row. The Bulls won
their first NBA time nineteen ninety one against the Lakers.
Oh or to one, that's when Magic hurt the thigh, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, But nobody brings up the fact that Magic was injured.
When Mike wins the title, Lebron won when an NFL
Steve Young too, It is definitely me our buddy. Steve
Young retired from the NFL in two thousand.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Bobby Orr became the youngest player in NHL history to
be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was
thirty one, and he had.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Bad knees, and uh, they waived the usual three year
waiting period for Bobby Orr They got in at the
age of thirty one, or they could have just waited. Okay,
thank you John.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Do you remember the first regular season interleague baseball game?
It happened on this date in nineteen ninety seven. If
you said the Giants beat the Rangers, you would be correct.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Sir three, Thank you Tom. Did you scoreboard?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
And then doc Ellis, so the Pirates no hit the
Podres on this date in nineteen seventy. Was he on
LSD when he threw the no hitter?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
I host because we just asked it.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Well, I think he was on LSD, maybe in a
game with the Reds in Cincinnati where he hit like
four of the first five batters. But doc Ellis was
he was wild crazy, I mean.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
June twelfth, nineteen seventy, reportedly under the influence of.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
LSD E lou in Cincinnati, first of of a gold
Header performance enhancing.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, well it enhanced him to be crazier. I think
I remember that he went into the stand. Now, I'm
trying to remember this. My friend was a huge Pirate fan,
and I believe we were at that game, and I
remember doc Ellis was in the stands for Game two
for some reason. Know why I remember them. I could
(38:01):
have just made that up.
Speaker 11 (38:02):
