Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh, it's the final hour on this Monday. What a
weekend starting with last Friday when we were in Atlanta.
If you missed the first hour of the show, I
recap that, but I can't tell you how it played out.
The results when we were on Celebrity Family Feud. I
will say Fritzy was awesome, and Marvin was very entertaining,
(00:25):
and then Paulie and Satan and myself we just tried
not to embarrass ourselves. But we'll let you know when
that episode is going to air. But a lot of
fun and seeing the Rich Eisen Show as well. Stat
of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the
official trading cards of the program, and recapping just a
little bit here. No NBA, no NHL tonight, Paulie, where's
(00:46):
the schedule maker? Why do we have a Monday with
nothing going on?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Here?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
We need to schedule on Budsman for all sports.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
This can't happen, No, no, all right, So we'll get
the phone calls, best and worst of the weekend, seat
and update the poll result and then we'll get to
Tony Reality around the Horn host.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Yeah, We got two of them up there right now.
Which player will get the biggest stardom boost from making
the NBA finals Right now, Anthony Edwards has thirty three
percent of that vote, followed pretty closely by Shay Gildess,
Alexander and Tyrese Halibert and Jalen Brunson and last.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
There, Okay, I think he's already got his boost. The
other guys. This is their coming out party. Legends of
the Golf teeing off second major of the year. It's
a congressional country club. The Senior PGA Championship next Saturday
and Sunday on NBC and Peacock. We make way for
a man who might be going through a midlife crisis.
(01:40):
Oh you know it's you know it, mister Energy himself,
Tony Reality. After twenty three years, ESPN's Around the Horn
will air its final show coming up this Friday.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Thank you for the pub there. Great to see it's
great to see you. He's talking about how I entered
into the room just three minutes ago, and I said
I was going through a midlife crisis. Like people do
they buy motorcycles. I don't buy motorcycles. I dress like
I drive a motorcycle dad.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You got the bombers, yeah I know. Oh yeah, you
got in case I roll, you got padded, you.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Got shoulderad you shoulder pads. Yeah yeah. I always wanted
bigger shoulders, you know. But but well you've carried the
network for thank you very much. I think I took
it right from you. I mean that, that's that's part
of why I needed to come here today, Dan, Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm serious though, with a midlife crisis of it's a
mid career crisis of.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I wouldn't call it a crisis. I feel amazing. I
feel absolutely amazing. I feel I feel energized and optimistic.
And I know I can say this now after twenty
three years of being on TV and carrying a show,
but of being somebody who for his whole life wants
to please people and wants to be that guy, the energetic,
(02:58):
kindest guy can be. I can. I can be proud
of myself too. And I know twenty three years of
five thousand episode television doesn't come available on the market often,
so looking forward, there's no crisis. I'm feeling great. How
were you told that it was coming to an end suddenly?
Then gradually as all the good things. I read an
(03:19):
article on the New York Post, my hometown paper occasionally
printed in English, and that was the first I heard
that it was a possibility. Made a few calls to
the people of course that I love, and we'll sus
it out. And that's when I heard, no, we don't
know where that came from, and we all know what
that means. It came from somewhere. So yeah, So that
(03:40):
was over the summer of last year. I had my
people look at things like ratings as if that might
matter or something like that. We were up, we were
doing great, so I wasn't really worried. But you know,
once that stuff truthpaste is out of the tube, you
know what it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Is, okay, But do you sense the show is heading
into different direction? You know that you know why it
got canceled. It's such a great show. And it felt
like was there too much money being spent or was
it too woe too much money elsewhere?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I mean, it certainly was money. I can I can
tell you that. I mean, the Woke has it's a
fine headline to write. I don't believe what that is.
I honestly think we did fifty thousand topics over twenty
three years, you're gonna tell me ten or fifteen drew
an eyebrow up. I'll be like, yeah, I mean, we
(04:30):
were doing some complex topics from time to time. I
don't mute people in FaceTime. So maybe there's two or
three there that didn't have the back and forth you
would want. Maybe there's one or two I would take
back if you asked me. Those aren't my regrets, not
at all. So the reality of the show being the
most eclectic, and it's not a negative word for me,
(04:51):
diverse show in the history of the television medium. We
got people twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, all on
a level plane. We have men, we have women, all
on the level playing field. You're gonna tell me that
that's not never gonna be a negative to me, even
though times have changed and things are viewed differently. Now,
I know the people who were part of our show
(05:12):
are getting other jobs at our network, front facing jobs,
wonderful jobs that are at our highest properties.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But I can't imagine with your excitement, your enthusiasm, your energy,
you go into management yes, and can't convince them.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I said, let me play it however you see it,
I can get rid of them, you button if that's
if you don't like the game show element, I can.
We'll bring in switchers, We'll bring in athletes every now
and then. But I believe the show is based and
the bones of the show is journalism. And when this
one goes away, there ain't anymore. Because I love Tony
and Mike. They're not riding in the Washington Post on
(05:48):
Deadline tomorrow. Bill Plashkey is. Tim Kllishaw is right now,
we might Tim Kalishaw is gonna be working hard to
be On the finale of Around the Horn, the show,
he gave his blood, sweat, tears, and sobriety too. He
went straight to sobriety while during the show. And one
of the most proud things I can say of our
(06:09):
show is the growth that we've all been able to
have through the support of each other. He's gonna be
either an Edmonton, you know, or Dallas for this because
again the abundsman of the schedule. Can we get an
NHL schedule out earlier? But imagine he's an Edmonton and
I'm having a rogue camera shoot him. He's shooting it
on an iPhone. All right, T him. Nice, nice career
(06:29):
you had with us, See you later. But these were
suggestions that you had. I mean I threw him out
to my immediates, the Great Eric Ride Home and Aaron Solomon,
and I also then had a chance after some time
to convey them to some people, or at least put
my words out there. I mean, these were conversations I
wanted more of. Okay, but mute button and maybe athletes. Yeah,
(06:51):
I'm speaking, I'm speaking very frankly here. I would throw
out the kitchen sink. I know what I can do
on TV, and it's not just the mute button and
a scoring system, you know. So I know I could
host different shows for this network, and I know they
could want different shows. That's I understand that part of it.
I went through nine months where I did some education
(07:12):
on myself and on the industry. How has the industry changed?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And I'm aware of things now that maybe by product
of me siloed away doing a show the way I
only saw a fit. I know I had to carry
a weight for twenty three years. I respected that. I
know four nine hundred and fifty three episodes doesn't happen
by accident doesn't happen even but somebody's also doing a
podcast and a streaming show and covering games on weekend.
(07:38):
I know what I needed to put to do that.
So now I'm trying to imagine, well, what else could
the network want? And I would love to have that conversation. Still,
you're staying at ESPN. I have a contract through the
end of August, and I am having many great yes
two months. The show says goodbye Friday, and I'm happy
(08:00):
to have the next two months to talk to everybody
and anybody in the world, including ESPN.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But if you're I was wondering about this that you
did that, But were you going to do other things
like Wilbond does.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Oh yeah, I was with you. I was in a
place now where I wanted to get the home life
where I wanted it to be. And I had done
Good Morning America as a correspondent for some years. It
was four years in total. It wasn't you know exactly
where I thought it was going, and I think they
would say the same of me. But it was a
very fruitful experience and educative in that way. So I
(08:36):
have now Google documents full of game shows, kids shows,
just because I wanted to stretch my personality out a
little bit. But then, you know, the same type of
fair that I would love to make in TV and sports.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Absolutely Tony reality. For now his business card brings it
around the corner. Host until this Friday, after twenty three years.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We have been in a similar position in our lives.
I don't know exactly how you came to find out
the big show was going wherever it's going.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, Well, that's Keith Oberman left, yes, and that only
we were together five years and then I didn't have
that epiphany until I turned fifty and I was sitting
on the six o'clock Sports Center.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Were you wearing a motorcycle jacket?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was not.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I was not doing that, but I remember I was
throwing out to South pal Antonio for whatever, and I
just it hit me, like, what are you doing? Because
I was doing the six o'clock Sports Center so I
could spend more time at home. I'd worked second shift
for fifteen years. Yeah, four kids, young kids, and I
(09:45):
just remember going, what are you doing? Like I didn't
want to be the you know that, Oh my god,
he's still doing Sports Center even though it's a wonderful
job at a young man's game.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I have people who tell me that, but I didn't
feel that way. You know, like, okay, that's time to move.
You can do so many different things, and for me,
I was taking it to the finish line. I was
taking it back into port after going around the horn,
is what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, but sometimes it's viewed as a negative if you
continue to do the same.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Decisely, the people in my life who love me were
at least making that note to me that you should
be branching out more. I had a muscle in me
that said what's right is right, and we're gonna carry
this one to the end. So in some ways that's
why I do feel amazing. Now I've had a chance.
I'm not going to tell somebody whose last name is
(10:33):
Patrick what an Irish goodbye is, but I've had an
Italian goodbye. I've had six months of hugging people, coming
into rooms, getting presents, giving presents, getting notes. I was
not prepared, and maybe the network wasn't prepared for a
press release that had four and a half million clicks
on it. We're announcing incredible new parts of our network
(10:58):
in the future of the industry and all these things.
It's not seeing four and a half million clicks when
I took came up for air after that first week
when I found out, and I was like, I said,
I'm gonna respond to everybody. And then I looked at
the press release it was four million clicks. I'm like,
oh my goodness, what about you signed myself up for?
Could you do a variation of around them? Absolutely, I
think there's gas in the tank for this, Like this
(11:20):
would have been the pitch if we were still having
a conversation about extending Sure. I mean, one of the
great things about this industry. I grew up wanting to
be you. Damn. This is why I made the drive
out here. Anthony really calling the Yankees. I saw a
hit piece you did with Don Maddingly right as far
back as I can remember, I always wanted to be
(11:41):
a sportscaster, all right. I said, you know you're doing
Don Madam, I'm doing that. I want to be John Sterling.
I want to be the guys who I had in
my college who would come back and give speeches, Mike Breen,
Michael Kay, Bob, Papa, Chris Carino, that's every voice of
the local teams. I listened to growing up. That's Fordham University.
(12:01):
So I knew what I wanted to do. Since I
was a kid. I knew the whole way, and I
have seen other people navigate one job and then the
next job and the next job. I do think though
a refreshing of the show where you're talking to people.
I got into this long story because I feel like
young sportscasters. I would love to put them on. You know,
(12:22):
they had their own YouTube page.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
At thirteen, I had a Fisher Price microphone that went nowhere.
There was nothing, no courte in it, and I was
you for every history project. I would bring in the
cardboard box, cut my head out and do Sports Center
through the big show talking about the Revolutionary War. We
start today with corn Wallace. Oh corn Wallace, how did
(12:44):
he blow it in your town? He came in there
with the strategy, you know, and that sort of thing
I was doing that was not always well received. There's
a little bit out there for mister Matson and the
Christian Brothers of New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But if you said, if you're going to want any
of these episodes, yes, here's one episode that I'm most
proud of. Is there an episode of around the Horn
for Ugly, there's three or four in my head that
stick with me. There was an April Fools episode I
did backwards.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I workshopped this on the walk to work, talk about
my our crew Aaron Solovon and Josh Bard looking at
me like I'm crazy, as they always do, but rolling
with me, which I appreciate. So this was the Seinfeld
type episode where I did I caught a paper toss.
I said, we were just on a twenty three and
a half hour break. I got the FaceTime to somebody.
(13:36):
I scored the show from thirty seven down to zero
and entire backwards episodes. But the debates were still the
news of the day of sports and that this got
workshopped in a three hour timeframe, amps was backwards. The
e block was bu Ba bue proud of that. I'm
really proud of that. I would do that, you know.
For me, my evolution as a host and as a
(13:57):
man was realizing feelings are superpower and where are feelings
more prevalent than in sports, But let's also apply those
feelings to your life and putting it on the stage.
So having Woody Page come on and talk about depression,
talking about the loss of my son and stillbirth and
the birth of my son at the same time. That
(14:18):
episode after Father's Day, that will stay with me for
the rest of my life, not because you know I
did it and I knew I was intentional of how
I wanted to do it and the reaction that came
from that. I'm still getting notes, I'm still getting books
sent to me and vice versa. So that was connection.
That's what I've realized was the goal all along.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You know, when you talk about count of Shawn's sobrietying out.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean these were all things. Now again, you can
write a headline and say, what is that game show
on sports doing? It went too far? You can write,
or you could just say broadly they had too many people. Well, yes,
I like people. I wanted as many voices as possible.
I'm gonna tell you it's a satire. Dan, Now all right,
you can't score an argument a sports argument. Nobody wins
the sports argument. Much like life, what you get scored
(15:09):
on one day changes the next day. What you do
so well today may not work for you in your
home life or in the show tomorrow. And you're gonna
have to roll with this. This is how intentional and
meta referential. Honestly, I was doing when I was thinking
about something is silly as the scoring of the show.
So I wanted to be able to have any conversation
at any time. But I got Tony and Mike after me.
(15:29):
You got the same people every day. That's one go
there for the same people every day on this show.
We'll give you the opposite. I want you to score
the show. Let's go around.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want you to do with the dants, okay, with them,
and I want to know this scoring system, and you know,
and you pick the topic.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Okay, okay for the Dan nts. Okay, So I'm sure
we're really locked into the NBA playoffs right now. No,
we're gonna we're gonna take a break. Oh what you
take breaks on the show? Yes, we do. Yes, you
gotta pay me if that's what you want to do
with life, all right, Yeah, it might be what you're
doing with your life too at some point and a
half hour break, Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
How about we take a break. It's Tony reality. He
will explain the scoring system, he will play around the
horn coming up. That'll keep getting your cars. We're back
after this from The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
They'll be driving up the road.

stories that well, other shows don't seem to have the
time to discuss.
Speaker 9 (16:59):

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Tony really all right, he dresses like he's in a
motorcycle gang. He's got everything with the motorcycle. Yeah, you're
with leather ESPN around the horn and at the final
show airs this Friday after twenty three years. Okay, So
I want you to be you, and I want you
(17:52):
to treat the dan ns as if they are writers
and explain the system though the scoring system that.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You're sure vibes would be one way to describe it.
You know, everybody wants to reach vibes. Now, I'm looking
for panelists not just to have an opinion. I'm looking
for them to prove why their opinion is best right now,
prove it right now. You got to prove why your
opinion is best. So you may think Paul I got
to get some stats because reality is a stat boy
(18:19):
born and raised, and that would be a great way
to do it. But then if Fritzi were to come
back and give stats on top of stats, well, stats
on stats, we're not doing that. MW fritzy, all right.
And then Marvin's coming in and he said, as the
only panelist who watch this game, or is the only
panelty who was in the locker room? Is what I really?
I was there, Frank Isola, I was there. That's another
(18:41):
way to get points. So now we're proving it could
be analytical, it could be experiential, it could be you know,
any numbers a bad way to try to get points.
Mm hmm. That's a good question. I have banns certain
phrases from the show because people of our ilk never
you Dan, but I would say say more than than
netts have used them in a way that have rendered
(19:03):
them meaningless. These are cliches. You want me to tell you?
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Can I give you a little Well, I'm gonna give
you partially of the list elite narrative optics if we
even approach any of those three words your and then
there's even one more that comes up quite often. It's
when you use one sport and you bring in another
(19:27):
sport to use your analogy because because you couldn't talk
about this sport, well, that's called first take goodness. They're
gonna get me canceled before the week's well, yeah, I
mean I believe this to be the case. If we're
talking hockey, we're talking hockey, don't you dare bring in
you know, Steph Curry or whatever to make your comp
(19:47):
your comps. So so that's another part of that that
So those are the band phrases. That's how you lose points,
That's how you lose before we have this filter that
I would stamp on there and there would be a
siren and then the panelists would stop talking in the
middle of they thought, you know, they were getting pulled
over in their studio or something. I don't know. So
then I had to be more.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, all right, okay, so you give them the topic
and then you'll judge them. Yeah, you'll give them points. Okay,
I heard it coming in.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I think brock Purdy was an interesting development in the
NFL because we all know how we rank our top
five and top ten and top fifteen quarterbacks, and we
know about the success of the forty nine ers over
the last five years, in part because of the structure
of his salary as a rookie. So let's go around
the horn on Rock Party Rock Purty's new deal at
(20:37):
over fifty million per for Purty Around the Horn, Paul.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
The forty nine ers had no choice but to sign him.
He bailed them out of the tray Land situation. Damn
ding ding ding ding, dam thing.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Paint him yet?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Anting He's good, not great, but not bad enough to
move on.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
That's a terrible way to make an argument, Paul, not great.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Just leave it at good.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He's good. Fritzy, Do I see you back there? Around
the horn? Fritzy by herself, when did the servants go?
Forty nine has become the San Francisco Desperados? Are they
like a UFL team?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
How desperate can you beat uspend that kind of money
they didn't win. How desperate are we that we're trying
to get that USFL audience? You know, man, if you
love sports in nineteen eighty three, you're gonna love this
take from Fritzy. Yeah, welcome to my show, Johnny, All right, seton,
what do we got? I love what the forty nine
(21:30):
ers did here.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
They gave their quarterback a fair, competitive salary that's not
gonna reset the market, So he doesn't have the pressure
of explaining this gigantic salary right now. Plus they got
it done before preseason. They got it done before any
of those questions are gonna be asked about the extension.
So when are you signing? Are you gonna Stare you
happy with guarantee things? Thing good but manageable dj D
(21:52):
money is front loaded up top. These are all winners
for this for this team. Ding ding ding ding tink
Marvin around the horn to.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You pretty contract.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
First of all, he saved John Lynch's job as general
manager for all those trade picks to go up to.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
For trade lance. And then you know what I think, Marvin,
keep going Okay, sorry, sorry, yeah he can. He can
give you that facial. We got the commercial break. It
feeling really good. Hey, sorry sorry, love it for the
forty nine ers, they got their franchise quarterback. Let's keep
it wrong, Okay. You don't just score with the things
(22:29):
and the doints in the met You score for your face.
I'm a face, score right, the listening face in you know,
the listening face. Oh of course. And now you know here, okay,
so well, there were some passionate arguments there. Marvin kind
of rolled off there at the end. Marvin, your froze.
It's all right, it happens. Then, yeah, the noise is
(22:50):
sometimes sorry Today shampion in winter seating. FaceTime again, thirty
seconds of FaceTime seating. Then let's see. If you have
a second gear, you can tell about anything you want.
FaceTime scene Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Huge for the American soccer audience. Chris Richards is a
starter in that back line. He is also an owner
of a USL Championship team in Birmingham, Legion. That's exactly
the kind of momentum that you need heading into the
World's Cup in the United States next year.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Bobos, boys, let's go. This is incredible on the fly.
If I had a piece of paper right now, I
don't want to take me to your scripts. Here you go,
there you go. You could throw it right at the
weeks my camera right here we go. Week see, let's
see ready, we're on a twenty three a half hour break.
We'll see you tomorrow maybe around the ward. The thing
(23:45):
about the camera hit the lens is everything. I've hit
the camera eighty percent of the time, but you don't
hit the lens. It doesn't look like it. You know,
I'm not that I'm explaining this. What kind of athlete.
Were you not a great one? I was a passionate one.
But I didn't grow until I was eighteen years of age.
So I may have been the best soccer player at
eight and a good baseball player at nine, and it
was over for me pretty early on, which is how
(24:07):
you become stat boy. That and not going on a
date for your entire high school career is how you
learn about the encyclopedia. And once again I tell you,
I mean, I mean my bit wearing around a cardboard
box pretending I'm you. You know, it doesn't go over
so great at the school dance, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Tony, reality host of Around Horn the last episode on Friday,
Do you know what you're going to say at the
end of Friday show?
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah, I felt this way for a few months. Even
have you practiced this? Not yet? I may, I think
I will. I know what I'm going to be doing
in the first three minutes of the show, and that's
what I'm very excited about. I've already got bought the
music script, you know, and procured the music, and I
have a very special guest coming by the studio too.
That means something to me and my family, and I'm
(24:54):
excited for that, and I think a lot of people
know a little about me, may know where I'm going
with those first three men minutes of walking onto the set,
and then I'm gonna, you know, on the back end
of the show. I think I'm gonna explain the scoring system.
I think I'm gonna find that. I think finally, and
the stats are important to me. I came in a
stats boy. I'm gonna show the final stats of around
the world.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I wondered, though. You know, Tony and Mike labeled you
stat boy. Yeah, and I sometimes it's hard to get
out of that. Oh you're just stat boy, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's like being a marine. Once you're a marine, you're
always a marine. Once your stat boy, you're always a
step by. I don't I don't take that. I was
called Bambi when I was playing college rugby. Baby. Yeah,
that's not a great net. No, not for a rugby player.
And I was alright with that because two career tackles
would prove that I ran away from action. No, I
(25:46):
this is just about connection. I love that people call
me stat boy in the street today. It happened yesterday.
More more specifically, you know, yeah, and I'll carry that
one to the end. Sure anybody get really upset with
the mute button? Oh? Sure, Fame Mariotti got very upset
with the mute for his ten years on the show.
There have been times I know how to take the
temperature of even you know, some of our greats. You know,
(26:07):
Woody Page, it's good to give a call to people
if I can say anything. Check in with your people.
You know you're doing. I'm trying to make a moment
on TV. He's trying to make a moment on TV.
I feel like I'm being the most authentic, real reality.
But I know that rubs everybody in a certain way.
Some days. My energy's too big some days. So we've
had conversations even the last two years, not Woody specifically,
(26:30):
but me and some panelists. I'm like, yeah, maybe I
overstepped there that you know where my heart is, but
that's on me, and you got to make that phone call.
Ever objected to anything that would he put on his chalkboard, Well,
he certainly got us in trouble once he put a
one nine hundred number up there. Now, this was a
time when they're once again usfl baby. This was a
(26:52):
time when they're won nine hundred numbers usually came on
at about eleven o'clock at night, and they were telling
you about oh six time you're gonna have if your
life over a telephone? Well, would he put on a
number that said one nine hundred some some three letters
H O R N the name of our show. The
name of our show, maybe even in the UK would
(27:13):
come off in a different way right around the horn
suggests something a little bit different over there. So, in
fact that phone number did take you to a number
for sexy time. Did would he know this? I think
we know Woody a little bit. I think he knew this.
Did any of us know this? No? But that's what
happened that one time. Yeah, that's the true story. You
(27:35):
ever get brought on the carpet by management? Not once? Never?
Then you weren't. You weren't. I wasn't doing it right,
You were not. I told you. If I have a regret,
it's that I didn't bang the drama about how strong
our show was doing or and I mean somebody said
recently controversies this show never knew you'd be two three
(27:56):
articles were in about us saying that topic was too
far fine. Never once was that the case. I got
two conversations in twenty years of keep on doing what
you're doing. That was the That's the entirety. And again
there's pros and cons to this. There's a David Letterman,
of course, another idol of mine, interviewed Warren Zevon his
(28:17):
favorite musician at the end of his life, and he
says very heartfully on the show, well, maybe going to
a doctor, never going to a doctor for all those
seventy years was a bad strategy. Maybe not check it
in about you know, in anything. I want more, I
want this, we need this, we demand more. I want
(28:37):
to see us on ESBN dot com because we are
the second highest rated show on the daily schedule. I
want to I want my YouTube page back. Where'd my
YouTube page go? I had a YouTube page ten years ago.
We were operating on that in a high level and
it went away. He's were taken away for that, and
now YouTube is something that of course this network should want. Yeah,
but you're a pleaser, so you don't want to disvercise.
(29:00):
And and then I'm the guy who's going to be
creating a movie every single day. You know where I'm getting,
you know, So I'm lost in a in a silo
of ed It's suite, you know, trying to think about
how that topic can go best. That day, I overheard
you say that you brought gifts. Well, I mean these
are very little in the past. I brought Conoli and
Schwola Dell because you were in New York. Yeah, and
(29:23):
I wanted to show a tribute to New York. Schola
Dell is an Italian pastry from Naples that kind of
looks like a like a big, overflowing fantastic signs ear
or something, and the Canoli be all, no, this is different.
You know, I have some friends who have you been
to Naples? I haven't been to Naples. No, No, okay,
that's you know, that something that may be available to us.
(29:43):
My family's from Naples and Reggia, the Calabria. We've done
other parts of Italy. But that's gonna be that's gonna
be next. But now a show called Around the Boot.
How incredible is that? That's great?
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah, Tony, Tony, Reality's Around the Boot. Bord Ain for
sports is available to It's available to all of us
right in the world. You know, I mean, why aren't
we doing Anthony board am for sports. You want to
do a heartful show and you want to show how
sports unites people. Yeah, that's who's taking the scoring system.
I'm hoping to get a gift for everybody who works
(30:16):
on the show. That will be the literal screen that
you might have something you know in your scoring system.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I'd love to at least offer up the man Cave
as sort of the sports the Smithsonia.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I can get you a mute button. I can get
my hands in a mute button. I'm gonna whittle it
down and send it to people who inspired me in
the business. And you're at the very top of that list.
So let's do that. How about we just ravage the set.
I'm not a collectibles type of guy. Yeah, yeah, I notice,
Yeah you can tell. But you know, I had this
suggestion for David Letterman on the final episode. They should
(30:50):
have been dismantling the set around him during this. I
thought about that during the show. I do have a
cone of silence here, if you'll notice over Fritzie, Yeah,
that that belongs there after that USFL take. That's my
my version of the mute button. And Fritzy freaks out
because he gets clausterphobic a little hot here. Yeah, yeah,
(31:12):
all right, so you brought gifts. So I brought gifts
because it's important me to show tribute when I work
with Letterman I'm starting now when I work with the Oberman.
I h I stopped by his office today. You know,
his show was on at the same time as Around
the Horn and got him something that was his favorite
player growing up. You know this is nothing like that. Okay, okay,
(31:34):
covered oreoles O the best part without you know, no
marshmallow there. That's from day Bars, which is a New
York institution as well.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Well.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
The look what we got. Yeah, nobody's more excited than Fritzi. Yeah,
that looks fantastic. Ye always always brings something. Would you
like to guest host this show?
Speaker 10 (31:53):
One?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Absolutely? Thank you very much for asking. Yes, of course,
of course. All right can we make that? Do you
know a guy? Yeah? Yeah, me, uh, it would be
an honor. I would I would make the drive up
where am I now don't know? Yeah, or you could
just take the train. I hadn't considered that Grand Central
take the train, yeah, yeah, next day. It would be
(32:15):
my honor and privilege. But we'll let you decide who
you want on. I don't think you want to do that.
Oh yeah, I know we're gonna be doing the Sopranos reunion.
You're gonna want to be in sports. Well, it's good
you do it, since I never saw an episode, Oh
I know this about you? Yeah, or maybe it'll be
my motorcycle Club by that time. I'll see my wife's Italian.
We don't. We don't even joke about the mob. It
(32:38):
doesn't come up. You're missing out on all the good stuff.
It's really it's it's it's a human show, much like
Around the Horn was about about feelings. So it's we
watched Good Fellows. I saw I was so when you
walk in finally watched it. Guy here, Ray Liota, Yeah, yeah,
I mean I walk around this every day and then
I take pictures of people and I and I. They
(32:59):
look at this and they smiled immediately. Right, this is
a you know how many photos I have on my phone, Dan,
three hundred and ninety five thousand. You know how many
favorites I have fifty seven thousand. So if you really
want to pare it down quickly, my god, Well, we
just did the photo outside. It took like yeah, I mean, okay,
when are you going to put that photo up. I
mean it could be up whenever you want. It's it's
(33:20):
your photo. Okay, this is my gift to you. I
would hope you blow it up to like six by
six feet. But if we re enacted the Lebron James
Dwayne Wade where I came in here with an idea,
as I always like to do, and I wanted Dan
to be Lebron and I was happy to be Dwayne
Wade in the foreground, and I wanted Dan dunking. How
about we just we post it now, well this and
(33:41):
now that we've set it up in this enormous way,
I hope the composition is nice. I'll take your mute button. Yes,
I won't use the mute button. No, but you'll have
one on the set. But I want you to take
me up on the offer of guest hosting day. I
would appreciate that. We would love you know. And if
you get down in the dumps and you know you
(34:03):
don't have a job, yes you could always you know,
my dumps look different than other people's dumps. You know. Well,
now that I said it like that a lot of kale,
But no I was talking about it. I grew up
in Staten Island for my first five years. We know dumps,
all right. Yeah, my wife is from Stay. I know
(34:25):
this about it. Yes, And of course I'm gonna stop
off at the shop now that I'm in the neighborhood.
We're gonna we're gonna delay around the horn so I
can stop off at the shop get some creamery.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
All right.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Great to see you have fun on Friday. I think
I will. I think I'm gonna have a lot of
fun and and hopefully it's what you you wanted to be.
There will be no other way good good, because it'll
be There's always people tell you how you should do it.
You need to do it how you want to do it.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
There's a big difference in the uh, the final episode
around the Horn on Friday, he's Tony really and uh,
luck with life.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Thank you. This is not even Tom Sawyer attending his
own funeral. It's not that, all right. I just you know,
sometimes it feels like a death. Yeah, I mean I
can written a little bit. I can recognize what that is.
But there's a fullness to it as well. Again, nine
and fifty three, you could say it's canceled, it's being
sunset all right, it's it's being put out, but it's not.
(35:24):
I mean, come on, it's more than Oprah Winfrey and
David Letterman and Jerry Springer. We did all right. We'll
take a break back after this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
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.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
WAP last call for phone calls from what we learn
what's in store tomorrow? A lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Tony is like that.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I was in Brooklyn, New York, and I'm walking on
the streets with my son, and all of a sudden,
I can hear the voice, and all of a sudden
it happened upon Tony Reality.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
In it is a.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
It's the Tony Reality experience a lot of energy. And
I reached out to somebody at Sony after Alex Trebeka
passed away, and I said, look, Tony Reality would be
awesome for that show.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I don't think they ever reached out to him, but
I thought that of all the potential hosts, he would
have been a great, great Jeopardy host.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yes, Polly, he's obviously a good host, very good host,
and nosas sports. But the currency he has is likability,
I mean energy and likability, and there's not too many
people on air with that.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
James in Virginia, speaking of likability, James, we got your
video of your wife smashing you in the face with
the pie paying off the bet, So thank you for
sending that to us.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
Yeah, that was definitely hurt. Best of the weekend for sure.
Thank you for kaking my call, DP. Darn that salute
the commanders. Man, what a great weekend of sports, what
a great year in sports. Let me just say this first, Man,

Tony Reality. Make sure you eat up the sugar Dell's
one of my favorite it Talian pastries. But just love
(37:14):
the back and forth with you two. You guys had
great symmetry the whole way through.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Man, how about the New York Knickerbockers. I should have
never went against my squad, I believed in the books.
My wife told me she was like that, you gotta
start wonder some of these times to the face, but
she just loves hating.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Me with her.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Man, how about the amazing work for the weekend, dropping
two or three to the Bronx Bombers giving up seventeen
runs men, but still having one of the best season
in franchise history. Hopefully they can make it to the
NLCS and they would just be an all around great
sports here for me and myself and I man, so
I love you guys, thanks for always being so great.
(37:52):
Man and Seluc the Commanders Man.
Speaker 3 (37:54):

see is life is ready to smash him in the
face with a pie paying off a bet this day
in sports history, Paul.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
He's got a couple for you. Please.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Cy Young nineteen ten of the Cleveland Indians got his
five hundredth career win.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Five hundred That seems pretty safe, and then he won
won more. I think he ended with five to eleven YEP.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Nineteen thirty five. The NFL adopted the annual college football
Draft to begin in nineteen thirty six. And let's see
Boston Red Sox retired Bobby Dorris number one in nineteen
eighty eight.

Secretariat on this day wins the Preakness and a record
time won fifty four. Nineteen eighty four, the Oilers beat
the Islanders to win their first Stanley Cup.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Let me see oh on this state.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
In twenty fifteen, NFL announced it's moving the extra point
kicks back and allowing defenses to score on conversion turnovers.
By the way, the tush push NFL owners meetings, I'm
gonna find out it's going to pass. When I talked
to somebody this morning, they didn't think the language was
(39:12):
strong enough for the owners to outlawed.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
And I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
I wasn't quite sure that the language or how they're
going to write the rule up maybe wasn't as strong
as it needs to for them to outlaw this.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Though we might be. I thought they were going to
get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
It just felt like that everybody wanted to get rid
of it because it's not a football play. Jordan in Peoria,
Hi Jordan, thanks for holding What do you have for me?

just plays great. Uh, Greg Maddox like you go. Yeah,

weekend starting with last Friday when we were in Atlanta.
If you missed the first hour of the show, I

The results when we were on Celebrity Family Feud. I

fun and seeing the Rich Eisen Show as well. Stat

the NBA finals Right now, Anthony Edwards has thirty three
percent of that vote, followed pretty closely by Shay Gildess,

other guys. This is their coming out party. Legends of
the Golf teeing off second major of the year. It's
a congressional country club. The Senior PGA Championship next Saturday

(01:40):
Oh you know it's you know it, mister Energy himself,
Tony Reality. After twenty three years, ESPN's Around the Horn
will air its final show coming up this Friday.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Thank you for the pub there. Great to see it's
great to see you. He's talking about how I entered
into the room just three minutes ago, and I said
I was going through a midlife crisis. Like people do
they buy motorcycles. I don't buy motorcycles. I dress like
I drive a motorcycle dad.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You got the bombers, yeah I know. Oh yeah, you
got in case I roll, you got padded, you.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Got shoulderad you shoulder pads. Yeah yeah. I always wanted
bigger shoulders, you know. But but well you've carried the
network for thank you very much. I think I took
it right from you. I mean that, that's that's part
of why I needed to come here today, Dan, Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm serious though, with a midlife crisis of it's a
mid career crisis of.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I wouldn't call it a crisis. I feel amazing. I
feel absolutely amazing. I feel I feel energized and optimistic.
And I know I can say this now after twenty
three years of being on TV and carrying a show,
but of being somebody who for his whole life wants
to please people and wants to be that guy, the energetic,
(02:58):
kindest guy can be. I can. I can be proud
of myself too. And I know twenty three years of
five thousand episode television doesn't come available on the market often,
so looking forward, there's no crisis. I'm feeling great. How
were you told that it was coming to an end suddenly?
Then gradually as all the good things. I read an
(03:19):
article on the New York Post, my hometown paper occasionally
printed in English, and that was the first I heard
that it was a possibility. Made a few calls to
the people of course that I love, and we'll sus
it out. And that's when I heard, no, we don't
know where that came from, and we all know what
that means. It came from somewhere. So yeah, So that
(03:40):
was over the summer of last year. I had my
people look at things like ratings as if that might
matter or something like that. We were up, we were
doing great, so I wasn't really worried. But you know,
once that stuff truthpaste is out of the tube, you
know what it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Is, okay, But do you sense the show is heading
into different direction? You know that you know why it
got canceled. It's such a great show. And it felt
like was there too much money being spent or was
it too woe too much money elsewhere?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I mean, it certainly was money. I can I can
tell you that. I mean, the Woke has it's a
fine headline to write. I don't believe what that is.
I honestly think we did fifty thousand topics over twenty
three years, you're gonna tell me ten or fifteen drew
an eyebrow up. I'll be like, yeah, I mean, we
(04:30):
were doing some complex topics from time to time. I
don't mute people in FaceTime. So maybe there's two or
three there that didn't have the back and forth you
would want. Maybe there's one or two I would take
back if you asked me. Those aren't my regrets, not
at all. So the reality of the show being the
most eclectic, and it's not a negative word for me,
(04:51):
diverse show in the history of the television medium. We
got people twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, all on
a level plane. We have men, we have women, all
on the level playing field. You're gonna tell me that
that's not never gonna be a negative to me, even
though times have changed and things are viewed differently. Now,
I know the people who were part of our show
(05:12):
are getting other jobs at our network, front facing jobs,
wonderful jobs that are at our highest properties.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But I can't imagine with your excitement, your enthusiasm, your energy,
you go into management yes, and can't convince them.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I said, let me play it however you see it,
I can get rid of them, you button if that's
if you don't like the game show element, I can.
We'll bring in switchers, We'll bring in athletes every now
and then. But I believe the show is based and
the bones of the show is journalism. And when this
one goes away, there ain't anymore. Because I love Tony
and Mike. They're not riding in the Washington Post on
(05:48):
Deadline tomorrow. Bill Plashkey is. Tim Kllishaw is right now,
we might Tim Kalishaw is gonna be working hard to
be On the finale of Around the Horn, the show,
he gave his blood, sweat, tears, and sobriety too. He
went straight to sobriety while during the show. And one
of the most proud things I can say of our
(06:09):
show is the growth that we've all been able to
have through the support of each other. He's gonna be
either an Edmonton, you know, or Dallas for this because
again the abundsman of the schedule. Can we get an
NHL schedule out earlier? But imagine he's an Edmonton and
I'm having a rogue camera shoot him. He's shooting it
on an iPhone. All right, T him. Nice, nice career
(06:29):
you had with us, See you later. But these were
suggestions that you had. I mean I threw him out
to my immediates, the Great Eric Ride Home and Aaron Solomon,
and I also then had a chance after some time
to convey them to some people, or at least put
my words out there. I mean, these were conversations I
wanted more of. Okay, but mute button and maybe athletes. Yeah,
(06:51):
I'm speaking, I'm speaking very frankly here. I would throw
out the kitchen sink. I know what I can do
on TV, and it's not just the mute button and
a scoring system, you know. So I know I could
host different shows for this network, and I know they
could want different shows. That's I understand that part of it.
I went through nine months where I did some education
(07:12):
on myself and on the industry. How has the industry changed?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And I'm aware of things now that maybe by product
of me siloed away doing a show the way I
only saw a fit. I know I had to carry
a weight for twenty three years. I respected that. I
know four nine hundred and fifty three episodes doesn't happen
by accident doesn't happen even but somebody's also doing a
podcast and a streaming show and covering games on weekend.
(07:38):
I know what I needed to put to do that.
So now I'm trying to imagine, well, what else could
the network want? And I would love to have that conversation. Still,
you're staying at ESPN. I have a contract through the
end of August, and I am having many great yes
two months. The show says goodbye Friday, and I'm happy
(08:00):
to have the next two months to talk to everybody
and anybody in the world, including ESPN.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But if you're I was wondering about this that you
did that, But were you going to do other things
like Wilbond does.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Oh yeah, I was with you. I was in a
place now where I wanted to get the home life
where I wanted it to be. And I had done
Good Morning America as a correspondent for some years. It
was four years in total. It wasn't you know exactly
where I thought it was going, and I think they
would say the same of me. But it was a
very fruitful experience and educative in that way. So I
(08:36):
have now Google documents full of game shows, kids shows,
just because I wanted to stretch my personality out a
little bit. But then, you know, the same type of
fair that I would love to make in TV and sports.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Absolutely Tony reality. For now his business card brings it
around the corner. Host until this Friday, after twenty three years.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We have been in a similar position in our lives.
I don't know exactly how you came to find out
the big show was going wherever it's going.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right, Well, that's Keith Oberman left, yes, and that only
we were together five years and then I didn't have
that epiphany until I turned fifty and I was sitting
on the six o'clock Sports Center.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Were you wearing a motorcycle jacket?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was not.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I was not doing that, but I remember I was
throwing out to South pal Antonio for whatever, and I
just it hit me, like, what are you doing? Because
I was doing the six o'clock Sports Center so I
could spend more time at home. I'd worked second shift
for fifteen years. Yeah, four kids, young kids, and I
(09:45):
just remember going, what are you doing? Like I didn't
want to be the you know that, Oh my god,
he's still doing Sports Center even though it's a wonderful
job at a young man's game.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I have people who tell me that, but I didn't
feel that way. You know, like, okay, that's time to move.
You can do so many different things, and for me,
I was taking it to the finish line. I was
taking it back into port after going around the horn,
is what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, but sometimes it's viewed as a negative if you
continue to do the same.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Decisely, the people in my life who love me were
at least making that note to me that you should
be branching out more. I had a muscle in me
that said what's right is right, and we're gonna carry
this one to the end. So in some ways that's
why I do feel amazing. Now I've had a chance.
I'm not going to tell somebody whose last name is
(10:33):
Patrick what an Irish goodbye is, but I've had an
Italian goodbye. I've had six months of hugging people, coming
into rooms, getting presents, giving presents, getting notes. I was
not prepared, and maybe the network wasn't prepared for a
press release that had four and a half million clicks
on it. We're announcing incredible new parts of our network
(10:58):
in the future of the industry and all these things.
It's not seeing four and a half million clicks when
I took came up for air after that first week
when I found out, and I was like, I said,
I'm gonna respond to everybody. And then I looked at
the press release it was four million clicks. I'm like,
oh my goodness, what about you signed myself up for?
Could you do a variation of around them? Absolutely, I
think there's gas in the tank for this, Like this
(11:20):
would have been the pitch if we were still having
a conversation about extending Sure. I mean, one of the
great things about this industry. I grew up wanting to
be you. Damn. This is why I made the drive
out here. Anthony really calling the Yankees. I saw a
hit piece you did with Don Maddingly right as far
back as I can remember, I always wanted to be
(11:41):
a sportscaster, all right. I said, you know you're doing
Don Madam, I'm doing that. I want to be John Sterling.
I want to be the guys who I had in
my college who would come back and give speeches, Mike Breen,
Michael Kay, Bob, Papa, Chris Carino, that's every voice of
the local teams. I listened to growing up. That's Fordham University.
(12:01):
So I knew what I wanted to do. Since I
was a kid. I knew the whole way, and I
have seen other people navigate one job and then the
next job and the next job. I do think though
a refreshing of the show where you're talking to people.
I got into this long story because I feel like
young sportscasters. I would love to put them on. You know,
(12:22):
they had their own YouTube page.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
At thirteen, I had a Fisher Price microphone that went nowhere.
There was nothing, no courte in it, and I was
you for every history project. I would bring in the
cardboard box, cut my head out and do Sports Center
through the big show talking about the Revolutionary War. We
start today with corn Wallace. Oh corn Wallace, how did
(12:44):
he blow it in your town? He came in there
with the strategy, you know, and that sort of thing
I was doing that was not always well received. There's
a little bit out there for mister Matson and the
Christian Brothers of New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But if you said, if you're going to want any
of these episodes, yes, here's one episode that I'm most
proud of. Is there an episode of around the Horn
for Ugly, there's three or four in my head that
stick with me. There was an April Fools episode I
did backwards.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I workshopped this on the walk to work, talk about
my our crew Aaron Solovon and Josh Bard looking at
me like I'm crazy, as they always do, but rolling
with me, which I appreciate. So this was the Seinfeld
type episode where I did I caught a paper toss.
I said, we were just on a twenty three and
a half hour break. I got the FaceTime to somebody.
(13:36):
I scored the show from thirty seven down to zero
and entire backwards episodes. But the debates were still the
news of the day of sports and that this got
workshopped in a three hour timeframe, amps was backwards. The
e block was bu Ba bue proud of that. I'm
really proud of that. I would do that, you know.
For me, my evolution as a host and as a
(13:57):
man was realizing feelings are superpower and where are feelings
more prevalent than in sports, But let's also apply those
feelings to your life and putting it on the stage.
So having Woody Page come on and talk about depression,
talking about the loss of my son and stillbirth and
the birth of my son at the same time. That
(14:18):
episode after Father's Day, that will stay with me for
the rest of my life, not because you know I
did it and I knew I was intentional of how
I wanted to do it and the reaction that came
from that. I'm still getting notes, I'm still getting books
sent to me and vice versa. So that was connection.
That's what I've realized was the goal all along.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You know, when you talk about count of Shawn's sobrietying out.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean these were all things. Now again, you can
write a headline and say, what is that game show
on sports doing? It went too far? You can write,
or you could just say broadly they had too many people. Well, yes,
I like people. I wanted as many voices as possible.
I'm gonna tell you it's a satire. Dan, Now all right,
you can't score an argument a sports argument. Nobody wins
the sports argument. Much like life, what you get scored
(15:09):
on one day changes the next day. What you do
so well today may not work for you in your
home life or in the show tomorrow. And you're gonna
have to roll with this. This is how intentional and
meta referential. Honestly, I was doing when I was thinking
about something is silly as the scoring of the show.
So I wanted to be able to have any conversation
at any time. But I got Tony and Mike after me.
(15:29):
You got the same people every day. That's one go
there for the same people every day on this show.
We'll give you the opposite. I want you to score
the show. Let's go around.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want you to do with the dants, okay, with them,
and I want to know this scoring system, and you know,
and you pick the topic.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Okay, okay for the Dan nts. Okay, So I'm sure
we're really locked into the NBA playoffs right now. No,
we're gonna we're gonna take a break. Oh what you
take breaks on the show? Yes, we do. Yes, you
gotta pay me if that's what you want to do
with life, all right, Yeah, it might be what you're
doing with your life too at some point and a
half hour break, Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
How about we take a break. It's Tony reality. He
will explain the scoring system, he will play around the
horn coming up. That'll keep getting your cars. We're back
after this from The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
They'll be driving up the road.

time to discuss.
Speaker 9 (16:59):

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Tony really all right, he dresses like he's in a
motorcycle gang. He's got everything with the motorcycle. Yeah, you're
with leather ESPN around the horn and at the final
show airs this Friday after twenty three years. Okay, So
I want you to be you, and I want you
(17:52):
to treat the dan ns as if they are writers
and explain the system though the scoring system that.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You're sure vibes would be one way to describe it.
You know, everybody wants to reach vibes. Now, I'm looking
for panelists not just to have an opinion. I'm looking
for them to prove why their opinion is best right now,
prove it right now. You got to prove why your
opinion is best. So you may think Paul I got
to get some stats because reality is a stat boy
(18:19):
born and raised, and that would be a great way
to do it. But then if Fritzi were to come
back and give stats on top of stats, well, stats
on stats, we're not doing that. MW fritzy, all right.
And then Marvin's coming in and he said, as the
only panelist who watch this game, or is the only
panelty who was in the locker room? Is what I really?
I was there, Frank Isola, I was there. That's another
(18:41):
way to get points. So now we're proving it could
be analytical, it could be experiential, it could be you know,
any numbers a bad way to try to get points.
Mm hmm. That's a good question. I have banns certain
phrases from the show because people of our ilk never
you Dan, but I would say say more than than
netts have used them in a way that have rendered
(19:03):
them meaningless. These are cliches. You want me to tell you?
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Can I give you a little Well, I'm gonna give
you partially of the list elite narrative optics if we
even approach any of those three words your and then
there's even one more that comes up quite often. It's
when you use one sport and you bring in another
(19:27):
sport to use your analogy because because you couldn't talk
about this sport, well, that's called first take goodness. They're
gonna get me canceled before the week's well, yeah, I
mean I believe this to be the case. If we're
talking hockey, we're talking hockey, don't you dare bring in
you know, Steph Curry or whatever to make your comp
(19:47):
your comps. So so that's another part of that that
So those are the band phrases. That's how you lose points,
That's how you lose before we have this filter that
I would stamp on there and there would be a
siren and then the panelists would stop talking in the
middle of they thought, you know, they were getting pulled
over in their studio or something. I don't know. So
then I had to be more.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, all right, okay, so you give them the topic
and then you'll judge them. Yeah, you'll give them points. Okay,
I heard it coming in.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I think brock Purdy was an interesting development in the
NFL because we all know how we rank our top
five and top ten and top fifteen quarterbacks, and we
know about the success of the forty nine ers over
the last five years, in part because of the structure
of his salary as a rookie. So let's go around
the horn on Rock Party Rock Purty's new deal at
(20:37):
over fifty million per for Purty Around the Horn, Paul.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
The forty nine ers had no choice but to sign him.
He bailed them out of the tray Land situation. Damn
ding ding ding ding, dam thing.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Paint him yet?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Anting He's good, not great, but not bad enough to
move on.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
That's a terrible way to make an argument, Paul, not great.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Just leave it at good.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He's good. Fritzy, Do I see you back there? Around
the horn? Fritzy by herself, when did the servants go?
Forty nine has become the San Francisco Desperados? Are they
like a UFL team?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
How desperate can you beat uspend that kind of money
they didn't win. How desperate are we that we're trying
to get that USFL audience? You know, man, if you
love sports in nineteen eighty three, you're gonna love this
take from Fritzy. Yeah, welcome to my show, Johnny, All right, seton,
what do we got? I love what the forty nine
(21:30):
ers did here.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
They gave their quarterback a fair, competitive salary that's not
gonna reset the market, So he doesn't have the pressure
of explaining this gigantic salary right now. Plus they got
it done before preseason. They got it done before any
of those questions are gonna be asked about the extension.
So when are you signing? Are you gonna Stare you
happy with guarantee things? Thing good but manageable dj D
(21:52):
money is front loaded up top. These are all winners
for this for this team. Ding ding ding ding tink
Marvin around the horn to.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You pretty contract.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
First of all, he saved John Lynch's job as general
manager for all those trade picks to go up to.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
For trade lance. And then you know what I think, Marvin,
keep going Okay, sorry, sorry, yeah he can. He can
give you that facial. We got the commercial break. It
feeling really good. Hey, sorry sorry, love it for the
forty nine ers, they got their franchise quarterback. Let's keep
it wrong, Okay. You don't just score with the things
(22:29):
and the doints in the met You score for your face.
I'm a face, score right, the listening face in you know,
the listening face. Oh of course. And now you know here, okay,
so well, there were some passionate arguments there. Marvin kind
of rolled off there at the end. Marvin, your froze.
It's all right, it happens. Then, yeah, the noise is
(22:50):
sometimes sorry Today shampion in winter seating. FaceTime again, thirty
seconds of FaceTime seating. Then let's see. If you have
a second gear, you can tell about anything you want.
FaceTime scene Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Huge for the American soccer audience. Chris Richards is a
starter in that back line. He is also an owner
of a USL Championship team in Birmingham, Legion. That's exactly
the kind of momentum that you need heading into the
World's Cup in the United States next year.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Bobos, boys, let's go. This is incredible on the fly.
If I had a piece of paper right now, I
don't want to take me to your scripts. Here you go,
there you go. You could throw it right at the
weeks my camera right here we go. Week see, let's
see ready, we're on a twenty three a half hour break.
We'll see you tomorrow maybe around the ward. The thing
(23:45):
about the camera hit the lens is everything. I've hit
the camera eighty percent of the time, but you don't
hit the lens. It doesn't look like it. You know,
I'm not that I'm explaining this. What kind of athlete.
Were you not a great one? I was a passionate one.
But I didn't grow until I was eighteen years of age.
So I may have been the best soccer player at
eight and a good baseball player at nine, and it
was over for me pretty early on, which is how
(24:07):
you become stat boy. That and not going on a
date for your entire high school career is how you
learn about the encyclopedia. And once again I tell you,
I mean, I mean my bit wearing around a cardboard
box pretending I'm you. You know, it doesn't go over
so great at the school dance, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Tony, reality host of Around Horn the last episode on Friday,
Do you know what you're going to say at the
end of Friday show?
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah, I felt this way for a few months. Even
have you practiced this? Not yet? I may, I think
I will. I know what I'm going to be doing
in the first three minutes of the show, and that's
what I'm very excited about. I've already got bought the
music script, you know, and procured the music, and I
have a very special guest coming by the studio too.
That means something to me and my family, and I'm
(24:54):
excited for that, and I think a lot of people
know a little about me, may know where I'm going
with those first three men minutes of walking onto the set,
and then I'm gonna, you know, on the back end
of the show. I think I'm gonna explain the scoring system.
I think I'm gonna find that. I think finally, and
the stats are important to me. I came in a
stats boy. I'm gonna show the final stats of around
the world.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I wondered, though. You know, Tony and Mike labeled you
stat boy. Yeah, and I sometimes it's hard to get
out of that. Oh you're just stat boy, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's like being a marine. Once you're a marine, you're
always a marine. Once your stat boy, you're always a
step by. I don't I don't take that. I was
called Bambi when I was playing college rugby. Baby. Yeah,
that's not a great net. No, not for a rugby player.
And I was alright with that because two career tackles
would prove that I ran away from action. No, I
(25:46):
this is just about connection. I love that people call
me stat boy in the street today. It happened yesterday.
More more specifically, you know, yeah, and I'll carry that
one to the end. Sure anybody get really upset with
the mute button? Oh? Sure, Fame Mariotti got very upset
with the mute for his ten years on the show.
There have been times I know how to take the
temperature of even you know, some of our greats. You know,
(26:07):
Woody Page, it's good to give a call to people
if I can say anything. Check in with your people.
You know you're doing. I'm trying to make a moment
on TV. He's trying to make a moment on TV.
I feel like I'm being the most authentic, real reality.
But I know that rubs everybody in a certain way.
Some days. My energy's too big some days. So we've
had conversations even the last two years, not Woody specifically,
(26:30):
but me and some panelists. I'm like, yeah, maybe I
overstepped there that you know where my heart is, but
that's on me, and you got to make that phone call.
Ever objected to anything that would he put on his chalkboard, Well,
he certainly got us in trouble once he put a
one nine hundred number up there. Now, this was a
time when they're once again usfl baby. This was a
(26:52):
time when they're won nine hundred numbers usually came on
at about eleven o'clock at night, and they were telling
you about oh six time you're gonna have if your
life over a telephone? Well, would he put on a
number that said one nine hundred some some three letters
H O R N the name of our show. The
name of our show, maybe even in the UK would
(27:13):
come off in a different way right around the horn
suggests something a little bit different over there. So, in
fact that phone number did take you to a number
for sexy time. Did would he know this? I think
we know Woody a little bit. I think he knew this.
Did any of us know this? No? But that's what
happened that one time. Yeah, that's the true story. You
(27:35):
ever get brought on the carpet by management? Not once? Never?
Then you weren't. You weren't. I wasn't doing it right,
You were not. I told you. If I have a regret,
it's that I didn't bang the drama about how strong
our show was doing or and I mean somebody said
recently controversies this show never knew you'd be two three
(27:56):
articles were in about us saying that topic was too
far fine. Never once was that the case. I got
two conversations in twenty years of keep on doing what
you're doing. That was the That's the entirety. And again
there's pros and cons to this. There's a David Letterman,
of course, another idol of mine, interviewed Warren Zevon his
(28:17):
favorite musician at the end of his life, and he
says very heartfully on the show, well, maybe going to
a doctor, never going to a doctor for all those
seventy years was a bad strategy. Maybe not check it
in about you know, in anything. I want more, I
want this, we need this, we demand more. I want
(28:37):
to see us on ESBN dot com because we are
the second highest rated show on the daily schedule. I
want to I want my YouTube page back. Where'd my
YouTube page go? I had a YouTube page ten years ago.
We were operating on that in a high level and
it went away. He's were taken away for that, and
now YouTube is something that of course this network should want. Yeah,
but you're a pleaser, so you don't want to disvercise.
(29:00):
And and then I'm the guy who's going to be
creating a movie every single day. You know where I'm getting,
you know, So I'm lost in a in a silo
of ed It's suite, you know, trying to think about
how that topic can go best. That day, I overheard
you say that you brought gifts. Well, I mean these
are very little in the past. I brought Conoli and
Schwola Dell because you were in New York. Yeah, and
(29:23):
I wanted to show a tribute to New York. Schola
Dell is an Italian pastry from Naples that kind of
looks like a like a big, overflowing fantastic signs ear
or something, and the Canoli be all, no, this is different.
You know, I have some friends who have you been
to Naples? I haven't been to Naples. No, No, okay,
that's you know, that something that may be available to us.
(29:43):
My family's from Naples and Reggia, the Calabria. We've done
other parts of Italy. But that's gonna be that's gonna
be next. But now a show called Around the Boot.
How incredible is that? That's great?
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah, Tony, Tony, Reality's Around the Boot. Bord Ain for
sports is available to It's available to all of us
right in the world. You know, I mean, why aren't
we doing Anthony board am for sports. You want to
do a heartful show and you want to show how
sports unites people. Yeah, that's who's taking the scoring system.
I'm hoping to get a gift for everybody who works
(30:16):
on the show. That will be the literal screen that
you might have something you know in your scoring system.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I'd love to at least offer up the man Cave
as sort of the sports the Smithsonia.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I can get you a mute button. I can get
my hands in a mute button. I'm gonna whittle it
down and send it to people who inspired me in
the business. And you're at the very top of that list.
So let's do that. How about we just ravage the set.
I'm not a collectibles type of guy. Yeah, yeah, I notice,
Yeah you can tell. But you know, I had this
suggestion for David Letterman on the final episode. They should
(30:50):
have been dismantling the set around him during this. I
thought about that during the show. I do have a
cone of silence here, if you'll notice over Fritzie, Yeah,
that that belongs there after that USFL take. That's my
my version of the mute button. And Fritzy freaks out
because he gets clausterphobic a little hot here. Yeah, yeah,
(31:12):
all right, so you brought gifts. So I brought gifts
because it's important me to show tribute when I work
with Letterman I'm starting now when I work with the Oberman.
I h I stopped by his office today. You know,
his show was on at the same time as Around
the Horn and got him something that was his favorite
player growing up. You know this is nothing like that. Okay, okay,
(31:34):

marshmallow there. That's from day Bars, which is a New
York institution as well.

just take the train. I hadn't considered that Grand Central
take the train, yeah, yeah, next day. It would be
(32:15):
my honor and privilege. But we'll let you decide who
you want on. I don't think you want to do that.
Oh yeah, I know we're gonna be doing the Sopranos reunion.
You're gonna want to be in sports. Well, it's good
you do it, since I never saw an episode, Oh
I know this about you? Yeah, or maybe it'll be
my motorcycle Club by that time. I'll see my wife's Italian.
We don't. We don't even joke about the mob. It
(32:38):
doesn't come up. You're missing out on all the good stuff.
It's really it's it's it's a human show, much like
Around the Horn was about about feelings. So it's we
watched Good Fellows. I saw I was so when you
walk in finally watched it. Guy here, Ray Liota, Yeah, yeah,
I mean I walk around this every day and then
I take pictures of people and I and I. They

a you know how many photos I have on my phone, Dan,
three hundred and ninety five thousand. You know how many
favorites I have fifty seven thousand. So if you really
want to pare it down quickly, my god, Well, we
just did the photo outside. It took like yeah, I mean, okay,
when are you going to put that photo up. I
mean it could be up whenever you want. It's it's
(33:20):
your photo. Okay, this is my gift to you. I
would hope you blow it up to like six by
six feet. But if we re enacted the Lebron James
Dwayne Wade where I came in here with an idea,
as I always like to do, and I wanted Dan
to be Lebron and I was happy to be Dwayne
Wade in the foreground, and I wanted Dan dunking. How
about we just we post it now, well this and
(33:41):
now that we've set it up in this enormous way,
I hope the composition is nice. I'll take your mute button. Yes,
I won't use the mute button. No, but you'll have
one on the set. But I want you to take
me up on the offer of guest hosting day. I
would appreciate that. We would love you know. And if
you get down in the dumps and you know you
(34:03):

There will be no other way good good, because it'll
be There's always people tell you how you should do it.
You need to do it how you want to do it.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
There's a big difference in the uh, the final episode
around the Horn on Friday, he's Tony really and uh,
luck with life.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Thank you. This is not even Tom Sawyer attending his
own funeral. It's not that, all right. I just you know,
sometimes it feels like a death. Yeah, I mean I
can written a little bit. I can recognize what that is.
But there's a fullness to it as well. Again, nine
and fifty three, you could say it's canceled, it's being
sunset all right, it's it's being put out, but it's not.
(35:24):

David Letterman and Jerry Springer. We did all right. We'll

I was in Brooklyn, New York, and I'm walking on
the streets with my son, and all of a sudden,
I can hear the voice, and all of a sudden
it happened upon Tony Reality.

In it is a.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
It's the Tony Reality experience a lot of energy. And
I reached out to somebody at Sony after Alex Trebeka
passed away, and I said, look, Tony Reality would be
awesome for that show.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I don't think they ever reached out to him, but
I thought that of all the potential hosts, he would
have been a great, great Jeopardy host.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yes, Polly, he's obviously a good host, very good host,
and nosas sports. But the currency he has is likability,
I mean energy and likability, and there's not too many
people on air with that.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
James in Virginia, speaking of likability, James, we got your
video of your wife smashing you in the face with
the pie paying off the bet, So thank you for

kicks back and allowing defenses to score on conversion turnovers.
By the way, the tush push NFL owners meetings, I'm
gonna find out it's going to pass. When I talked
to somebody this morning, they didn't think the language was
(39:12):
strong enough for the owners to outlawed.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
And I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
I wasn't quite sure that the language or how they're
going to write the rule up maybe wasn't as strong
as it needs to for them to outlaw this.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Though we might be. I thought they were going to
get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
It just felt like that everybody wanted to get rid
of it because it's not a football play. Jordan in Peoria,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
