The DP Show stat of the day is always brought
you by Penine America, the official trading cards of The

(00:52):
Dan Patrick Show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
thank you, or you're listening on our radio affiliates around
the country. Numbering over four hundred standings for the Celebrity
Bracket Challenge, it's powered by NetSuite. It's Jim Beheim. Beheim
has three of the final four. He has NC State, Connecticut,

(01:12):
and Purdue, with Purdue beating Connecticut for the national championship.
I'm looking at the latest betting lines this According to DraftKings,
Yukon is still the big favor to win it all,
followed by Perdue, and then NC State and Alabama are
a distant third. The points spreads NC State getting nine
against Purdue, Alabama getting eleven and a half against Connecticut.

(01:36):
We'll have a play of the day, poll, question, stat
of the day, all of that forthcoming. I think it
was last week that Mike Greenberg on The Mothership talked
about how good Yukon is and that Yukon could make
the playoffs in the NBA, and he later backtracked after
he realized that it was a silly comment and said
he was just joking. So I wasn't joking when I

(01:59):
reached out to DraftKings and I said, Hey, let's come
up with a betting line this Connecticut team versus the
Detroit Pistons. I'm gonna let you guys decide what you
think that point spread would be. So DraftKings decided they
would come up with a point spread for me if
the Yukon men's team played the Detroit Pistons. Now, we

(02:21):
didn't factor in where they would be playing. If it's
at you know, Connecticut, if the Pistons are going to
be playing at home, let's say a neutral site. Pistons
are the worst team. Marvin, I'm going to start with you.
The points spread that Connecticut and Detroit would be. How
many points do you think the Yukon Huskies would be getting?
Fifteen and a half, fifty and a half, all right, Paulie,

(02:46):
fourteen and a half, fourteen and a half. Seat O'Connor,
this is twenty one and a half, all right, Todd,
seventeen and a half. According to Draft Kings, the Pistons
would be listed as a forty five point and alf

(03:10):
for forty five. Just forty five, forty five. That's why
it's silly when we do this and we have Tom Izzo,
Michigan State head coach, coming up. I want to ask him,
what's the last team that you think could actually compete
against an NBA team? And I don't know how long

(03:30):
ago do you go back and say that team was
good enough, had enough talent that they could play against
the worst team of the NBA because the Pistons aren't
very good or the Spurs aren't very Imagine if the
Spurs as bad as they are played against the Connecticut
men's team. Okay, we get caught up in this, and
I know maybe Greenee's just trying for a hot take there,

(03:53):
because you know, you get intoxicated being on those shows
that you got to have a hot take. I truly
believe that Greenee meant it and then realized that, oh
it does sound silly, but that's DraftKings, and all they're
trying to do is have a betting. They're not invested
emotionally into this. They're just saying if these two teams met,

(04:14):
that the Pistons would give forty five points to Connecticut.
They're being objective, But I wonder, is there a team
Can you think of a team that was talented enough
where you'd go, all right, that might be a little
more interesting here. Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
On the football side, I think of the one Miami Hurricanes. Yes,
they had tons of NFL talent field, tons of NFL
talent as backups.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, that's as talented as we've probably seen in recent memory.
But basketball wise, is there a team a school that
you think could compete stay in the game against the
worst basketball team, Todd.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Kareem Walton, any of the UCLA years of one of
those teams.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I could well, they weren't together like whatever.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
The best you see LA team under John Wooden would
be I.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Think only because of Kareem and how great he was.
But I mean he had Lucius Allen who played in
the NBA. He had Mike Warren who was a really
good shooting guard as well. I mean, it wasn't It
wasn't a great team. They just had Kareem, and you
know that could be the difference just about any night out,

(05:25):
even with Walton. Walton had some NBA players. You know,
Dave Myers was a really good player, Larry Farmer was
a really good but they weren't great players. So I
guess I would say UCLA you could factor that them in.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yes, Marvin, I'm just going off of NBA talent. This
team didn't even go to the final four. The DeMarcus
Cousins John Wall Kentucky team where Eric Bledsoe and Patrick Patterson.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, okay, but once again, you're that's a young team too.
But then the Pistons are young as well. The Pistons
are probably the same age as you know that Kentucky team.
What about the National Championship Kentucky team with Anthony Davis?
Would they I'm trying to think who else was on

(06:11):
that roster when they won the title? Do you remember
Marv who else ad had? Michael Kidd, Gilchris Okay, I'll
give you a bloop on that.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Harrison Twins. Maybe they didn't make it the NBA.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't know, they were good players, but once again,
the guys who were in the NBA are really good.
They may not be you know, team might not be good,
but you are playing against the best players in the world.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
Yes, that's why these these discussions are so stupid. They're fun,
but they're so stupid because you're you're taking a college
team and playing against a team where literally every single
player is good enough to play in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, because they're in the NBA.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Because they're in the NBA, they're good enough to play
in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, Well, the audience can help out with this. But
I'm curious if Mike even Georgetown with Patrick Ewing, I
don't know if they were a great team. I mean,
Freddie Brown, Michael Graham, you know, wouldn't sleep Floyd was there,
but trying to figure out. You know, I would say

(07:16):
the Houston team that had a chem Elijauan and Clyde Drexler,
that was really good, but they didn't even win the
national championship. So I thought it was funny. Well, I
thought it was interesting to find out exactly what Vegas
would think of this. And then DraftKings said and I go, wait,
I think you put down forty five point spread and
they said yes, yes, and I go, oh, okay, yeah, Paulie,

(07:40):
I'll throw.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Out the eighty two North Carolina team with James Worthy,
Sam Perkins, and Michael Jordan. Perkins and Worthy were upperclassmen. Jordan,
I know he was young, but that's one that popped
my head from a talent standpoint. Okay, and maybe the
UNLV team with Larry Johnson, Stacy Jaun Anderson High greg
anthy that for one night that team could swarm people.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, how about this LSU nineteen eighty nine Mack Mood,
abdul Rauf, Shaq and Stanley Roberts. Okay, like you got
my attention there because Mock Mood averaged I think twenty
eight a game. But you know, Shaq wasn't Shack. He
was a freshman. He averaged fourteen points. Stanley Roberts average

(08:25):
fourteen points. But I think it would be fun to
try to come up with a team if I said,
Duke with grand Hill, Christian Latner, Bobby Hurley. Who else?
They have Thomas Hill in there? Brian Davis? Was he
in there as well? Is that sound right?

Speaker 5 (08:41):
I'll say about Eric Meek in the post.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Eric Meek's in the post. Yes, anybody else you throw
in there, Marv.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
It's hard because there's always only like three NBA players, Yes,
and then you need them to play against five NBA players.
That's always the issue.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's true. But you got coach k Know coaching you here. Yes, Paul,
you saw.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
This team, the seventy six Indiana team, Ken Benson, Tom Abernethy,
Scott May, Quinn Buckner. Those those guys weren't Hall of famers,
Bobby Wilkerson. That's a lot of talent though.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
That was That was a great team, great team, and
they stayed. They were juniors and seniors I think for
the most part with Bob Knight, and they went undefeated. Yeah,
So Scott May didn't really have a great NBA career.
Kent Benson played for a little while, Quinn Buckner played

(09:32):
for a while. Bobby Wilkerson he got drafted I think
maybe by Cleveland. He was a good player. Abernathy was
the sixth man. I think he was drafted by Golden State,
maybe in the second round. But yeah, I think it's
it's interesting to think about that. But then when you
factor in reality, which is what DraftKings is doing, all

(09:54):
they want to do is get it right. They don't
care who's winning by how much. From the standpoint, well,
they're going to get blown out, they're going to get embarrassed. Oh,
they're going to be more competitive. They're just setting a
betting line there, and it's Yukon getting forty five, Yes, Martin.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Can you imagine how angry the Pistons would be coming out, Like, wait,
you guys think they could be on the floor with
us and Kata Cunningham would go for sixty and thirty.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'm sorry, forty and twenty five. Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
By the way, this first down I brought to you
by tire rack dot com, the official tire expert at
the Dan Patrick Show. Go to tirac dot com slash
Dan The easy to use Tire Decision Guide. See the
full lineup of Michelin Tires special offers, free road hazard protection,
mobile tire installation, tyrec dot com the way tire buying
should be. So we'll ask coach Izzie about that if

(10:44):
he can remember a team that was talented enough to
be able to stay with the worst team in the NBA.
All right, poll question, Seaton, what are you thinking about today?

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Well, do you want to dive right into our sandwich
finale or do you want to get into like a
poll question, pull quest.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Let's get into a poll question, poll question. Then we'll
get into the final fok with the sandwich situation, the
final four sandwiches that are left standing here.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Okay, Well, we've got a suggestion from Paul. We've got
a bunch from Friday. Fritzy Todd is on fire today.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
All right, let me go, let me let me see
where Friday Fritzie by the way, later on this morning,
One dining Moment Fritzie will sing the one dining moment
and that'll be in a couple hours from now. We're
still putting it together. We have a montage. It's a video.
It's just like what CBS is going to roll out,
you know, after the national title game, the one shining moment,

(11:38):
it's one dining moment that'll be coming up a little
bit later on. All right, so what do you have there?

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Yeah, Todd, all right, is Danny Hurley secretly nervous that
a seven hour flight delayed Arizona is a bad omen
your choices? Without a doubt. He's very superstitious. Nah, he
won't give it a second thought.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, he's very superstitious. Here is a coach Hurley on
the travel issues that Yukon had.

Speaker 8 (12:05):
You know, it's like, I think, what goes to your
mind once you're done, you know, kind of complaining and
cursing and muttering and trying to you know, you just
start saying yourself, you know, like you don't really deserve
to show entitlement such an honor to get a chance
to and once in a lifetime experience to go play
in the final four. Coaching the final four. You know,

(12:27):
once kind of that edge wore off, you start lucky
to be here. We're lucky to get an opportunity to
come play in the final four. And then who doesn't
deal with problems with the airlines? I mean, people deal
with it during the holidays, and it's just it's something
that you, you know, just got to get through, but
it sucked.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I don't know if Nate Oates, the Alabama head coach,
has any sympathy. He spoke about Yukon's plane problems.

Speaker 9 (12:55):
Not quite sure what happened with the plane. I it
wasn't me. I didn't say anybody over there to mess
with the mechanics. I'm sure he's conjured, dead up in
his head already. But I did get a good night's
sleep last night, so it's nice. But I'm sure he'll
be fired up and ready to go Saturday. It'll be

(13:17):
fun and then we'll we'll touch base after the game.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, in C State is getting nine against Purdue and
Alabama getting eleven and a half against Connecticut. Women's final
four tonight in C State, South Carolina, Connecticut against Iowa.
So the men's final four will be on Saturday. Let's see,
we'll get phone calls coming up. How about this one?
This was suggested the nineteen eighty seven Arizona Wildcats. They

(13:44):
had Kenny Lofton who went on to play baseball. Tom
Tolbert played in the NBA. Steve Kerr played in the NBA.
Sean Elliott, is he in the Hall of Fame? Certainly
Hall of Fame worthy. Judd Bushler played for the Chicago
Bulls for a while. Sean Rooks also played in the NBA.
That's pretty good team. Pretty good team. I can't think

(14:07):
of anybody else. There might be somebody really obvious that
we're not thinking about Arizona when they won the National Championship.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Bibbie and Miles Simon.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, Mark.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
The ninety seven Mavericks would have had a field day.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
You think so. Jim Jackson, Oh yeah, yeah. Were they
the worst team?

Speaker 10 (14:31):
Though?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
In my head they were really but I'll look, but.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Didn't they have Jim Jackson, Jamal Mashburn and Jason Kiddy.
They had talent. I don't remember them being the worst
team in the NBA. All right, let's see anything else
that we need to make. Oh, Seaton, we got to
mention the final fourk It's Championship Week and the four
sandwiches that people will be voting on are going to be.

Speaker 6 (14:56):
Well, there were four winners from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
It's Nashville Hot Chicken, French Dip, grilled cheese, chicken palm.
Now we also have the n I T which might
actually beat this, which would be the Reuben Cubano po Boy,
that right there is just murderers row.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Now that's the national indigestion. Turn the right, correct, right right.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
The n T.

Speaker 6 (15:21):
It might be stronger than the winning sandwiches. And then
a fish sandwich is thrown in there too, which blanded
name high in value. Okay, yeah, so we're gonna actually
throw both of those up there.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Okay, what's the what's the main poll question? We're gonna
go with Tyler. You had some more?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I had three or four more, depend how much time?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, fire away, and then we'll take a break and
then talk to Tomzill.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
He goes, yeah, I got three or four more, depending
on how mu time we haven't you just hear from.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
The front.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
It wasn't the front row as me.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (15:53):
Is it okay for a ball club to allegedly pull
someone away from their spouse and pressure them to take
a bad deal for a milestone souvenir? No, oh no,
absolutely not under no circumstances, and never are your choices
over that last night.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
But you have to you have to put it in
perspective in context, like if you just ask that, then
is that after the breakdown? Yeah, I think I think
Todd's team you up to give the story? Well I
don't have time.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, yeah, so we move on to the other poles.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, why don't we just go to break Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (16:20):
We could do that. We have Tom Izzo coming up.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Thank you, Tom, take a break, just getting started. Operator
Tyler's standing by to take your phone calls. We're back
after this.

mbusa dot com slash eq. We'll settle on a poll question,
still looking for any team in college basketball history who

(17:30):
would have a chance against the worst team in the NBA.
And the reason why I brought this up is after
hearing Mike Greenberg on ESPN say that the Connecticut team,
the Yukon men's team could make the playoffs in the NBA,
and I went, oh, that's not good. That's not going
to age.

Speaker 10 (17:48):
Well.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I reached out to DraftKings and I said, all right,
what would the betting line be Connecticut's men's team against
the worst NBA team? And they came back and said
the Pistons would be favored by forty five over the
Yukon team.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yes, Paul, I got three or four emails. This is
again before my time, but you would know this team
and coaches A would the seventy four UCLA team that
you mentioned, Bill Walton, Keith Wilkes, Marcus Johnson, Dave Meyers,
Richard Washington. I think there were all first round draft picks,
and Greg Lee was a good guard on it.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
They did not in seventy four win the title. Seventy
four they lost NC State in the seventy final.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
Talent wise, what do you think of that team?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Seventy five had Richard Washington and Marcus Johnson. Bill Walton
wasn't on that team. But that's a lot of talent,
a lot of talent there. Did you have another one
that's it? Okay? Springing Tom is a Hall of Famer
twenty nine years at Michigan State. He's seen it all.
All right, coach, give me a team in basketball history
that you think would be talented enough to compete with

(18:46):
the worst team in the NBA.

Speaker 12 (18:49):
Well, I'm listening to you, Dan, and I thought that
Walton team, But you were right in seventy four they didn't.
I was just in high school then, so I'm, you know,
not like you. I didn't remember those things as well.

Speaker 10 (19:05):
But I don't know.

Speaker 12 (19:06):
You know, we played in North Carolina team in five
that was yeah, our own nine.

Speaker 13 (19:12):
That was really good.

Speaker 12 (19:13):
They had all those guys that came back. I thought
that they ran through the league. But NBA teams are
still better. I think I don't think any college team
could beat an NBA.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Team We'll go back to when Michael Jordan was there
with Worthy and Perkins.

Speaker 13 (19:28):
That's those are all good players, and Michael Jordan was
a great player.

Speaker 12 (19:32):
Worthy and Perkins were great, but they were still young then,
you know, although the NBA was older back then. Now
the NBA is young too. So you bring up a
good point. And some of these teams you're talking about,
I've heard some teams in college basketball now, especially with
this this COVID transfer portal, you know, where guys are

(19:53):
twenty four or five years old, older than some NBA teams.
The NBA is playing eighty two games a year. I
just don't think there's any that I know of that
could beat an NBA team.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Help me understand the transfer portal and why was it
active during the tournament?

Speaker 12 (20:13):
Yeah, that you know, Like I'm on a lot of committees,
and you know, I hate to say this, but I
will since I'm controversial like you. I think that was
one of the craziest moves. You know, we don't get
that any days in the sun anymore, you know, with
college football now coming into the middle of January, pro
football going into February. The NCAA Tournament is college basketball's

(20:36):
day in the sun, and we pollute it with the
transfer portal. You know, a lot of people make decisions
without really talking to the people that are in the basement.

Speaker 13 (20:48):
And I think that's what's happened in a lot of
things with the NC.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
It came out, who can fix this coach?

Speaker 13 (20:55):
Well, Chirs l.

Speaker 12 (20:56):
Ain't the coaches, we don't have a lot of say,
maybe the players. They seem to be the only ones
with power anymore, so maybe the players can fix it.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, but I'm trying to understand this now. Maybe you're
going to pull back the curtain for the audience here,
But during the tournament, are you thinking about or hearing
from other players who might want to transfer to Michigan
State or are you concerned that some of your own
players might be thinking about being in the transfer portal?

Speaker 12 (21:24):
Well, I think that's a very good question, and I
think that goes on from about January on. I think
there's a lot of places where assistant coaches are recruiting
kids off of people's campuses. I think, you know, I
talked to Nick saban Dab there's coaches in football.

Speaker 10 (21:38):
I think.

Speaker 12 (21:40):
I think that's one of the problems right now because
of these rules everybody's half in, half out, and it
is a problem. The one thing I had heard some
people talking about was playing in deep into the NCAA
tournament and still been in the transfer portal staff meetings.
I'd get cold dan Hell before it happened here. You know,

(22:01):
I think you got to take care of the players
you got. And yeah, I know you got to recruit, recruit, recruit.
It's a twenty four to seven job now. But if
I'm playing it, we get to a Sweet sixteen Elite
eight Final four.

Speaker 13 (22:13):
I'm not worried about the transfer portal.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Okay, back to Connecticut. If you were going to attack them,
give me what would be your philosophy strategy to try
to beat this Connecticut team.

Speaker 12 (22:25):
Well, after watching our own Big ten team, Illinois go
out the big fellow and I recruited him a little
bit out of high school, I wouldn't attack him.

Speaker 14 (22:34):
You know.

Speaker 12 (22:34):
I tried to drive and kick out and get some shots.
You got to make shots against them. Because he has
become so much better this year than he was last year.

Speaker 13 (22:45):
It's amazing.

Speaker 12 (22:46):
I think he's become better within the year and he's
just more aggressive.

Speaker 13 (22:52):
He's got size, he's got.

Speaker 12 (22:53):
Those long arms, and I don't think you know, I
think you got to hope to turn him over some
he's that you got to hope to make shots.

Speaker 13 (23:02):
And it'll be interesting since Purdue is in it and
they have a big.

Speaker 12 (23:06):
Guy of their own, if that ends up the finals,
which I'm not saying this year it will because so
many strange things have happened. But if it's Connecticut Purdue
in the finals, it could be a real interesting game
with those two gigs.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, but you don't attack the big man and try
to get him in foul trouble.

Speaker 13 (23:23):
You better have a hell of a center to do that.

Speaker 12 (23:26):
You know, you better have a guy that's not only
big enough, strong enough, good enough, can score it well enough.
We can do that again, he can. What he doesn't
do sometimes is you know, not as mobile as some
although he's more mobile than you think. So you know,

(23:46):
if you just played big now, he still might score
his points. And that's what happened to us against tam
He scored his points. You got to maybe contain those
other guys you pick and choose your poison.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Is it tough to watch the Final four?

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Really tough. That's why I'm here talking to you.

Speaker 12 (24:05):
Doing it, but yeah, you know, I mean I've had
the privilege of going eight times, and let me tell
you that is a privilege.

Speaker 13 (24:11):
And I just talked to Gene Katie yesterday.

Speaker 12 (24:14):
I called him to congratulate him on Matt Paynter and
you know the Katie Heathcote Painter is O thing is.

Speaker 13 (24:21):
You know, it's all been part of the tree. And
Jane was so excited.

Speaker 12 (24:25):
I always say, boy, I'm the luckiest guy in the
world because I think he was one of the great
coaches in America. Never even touched the final four. I
think he went to one Elite eight and he's one
of the best. So it's hard to watch, but I'm
privileged that I got the planet.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
We're talking to Tom Izzo, the head coach at Michigan State.
How hard is it to continue to do this when
you look at all these coaches that decide, I don't
want to put up with transfer portal in Nil I
mean Saban, you know, Jay Wright, I mean, go down
the list, Beheim, They're like, I don't want to deal
with the US anymore.

Speaker 13 (25:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna lie to you. It is hard.

Speaker 12 (25:04):
You know, Nick, Saban and I are good friends. Next
started here as an assistant, so did I started here
at the head coach.

Speaker 13 (25:10):
Same time.

Speaker 12 (25:10):
I talked to Nick Jay Wright, good friend, Roy Williams,
you know, Jim Beheim. I mean, sometimes age gets you,
but sometimes it's the situation. And anybody that tells you
that this has not been maybe the most taxing, incredible,
confusing state of college sports, they're lying to you it is,

(25:32):
But I'm not sure I want to give into that either.
So right now, I keep on trucking. But it has Dan,
it's been, It's been different. You know, the Dayton grad
you are. I know that Dayton had a good run
this year. Who knows who's going to be coming back,
who's leaving? I don't think any coach knows that about

(25:52):
any player, and that's kind of sad.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
How let's say you're recruiting me, How long into the
conversation you're not going that low down? You're right, You're right.

Speaker 13 (26:03):
Let's say it just for keepsake.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Okay, Okay, Let's say you're recruiting you know, a McDonald's
All American kid. How deep into the conversation before? How
much money can I make? Coach? Does it happen?

Speaker 12 (26:18):
What we found out is you know, even from last
year to the this year, it's tripled. But if you're
talking in the transfer portal, I mean some of those
coaches you mentioned, that was some of the things that
happened the minute they said hello, I'm tom Izzo.

Speaker 13 (26:34):
It's what's my package? You know. I think that is
a more.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
More in the transfer portal than with kids coming out
of high school.

Speaker 12 (26:42):
It seems that way because I think what happens in
the transfer portal is kids know that a coach wants you.
Maybe kid's trying to save his job and maybe the
money will go up and all that kind of stuff.
Whereas freshmen, although we argue on our board that it's
going to hurt freshman, you know, there's not as much
freshman being recruited, not many freshmen playing, and I think

(27:04):
that's one of the unintended consequences to this.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
What do you think about expanding the tournament.

Speaker 13 (27:10):
I have mixed feelings on it.

Speaker 12 (27:12):
I can't say I'm crazy about it, and in one
part because it's so exciting the way it is, and
I can't say that there aren't some teams. You know,
we played Indiana State this year and they're really good
and they almost beat Seaton Hall last night, and that
nit I think here's North Carolina State. If the most

(27:34):
unbelievable set of events don't happen at the end of
the Virginia game, they're sitting home and you're talking to
Keats instead of me. So there are teams that deserve
to get in. And I got enough problems dealing with
the transfer portal of the NLI and my own players.
I'll leave that stuff to the committees because coaches don't
have a lot of say in any of these things.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
What do you make of the growth of the women's game.

Speaker 10 (27:59):
I think it's.

Speaker 12 (28:00):
Impressive, you know. I mean I watched the other night.
You know, not just because she's in Iowa, Big ten girl,
but I've watched the women's basketball. I'm a big geno Ori.
I'm a fan. I've watched him for years. But the
explosion of it has been incredible and deserving, and it

(28:22):
is exciting.

Speaker 13 (28:23):
Now.

Speaker 12 (28:24):
I get a little confused when they bring up ticket
prices for the women's games. I mean they're played in
an arena of seventy eight or seventeen thousand, where ours
are sixty seventy thousand. But I do think I'm a
big fan of women's basketball. I've been fan of the
women coaches here, but this has been an exciting few years,

(28:44):
and a lot of it because of Caitlin, but a
lot of it because what South Carolina has done with
Gino's done. He gets taken for granted. He might be
one of the best all time coaches in any sport,
including this year Dan when he had all those injuries
and he's still in the final four.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, you know this is the best your voice is sounded.
But you probably hate that your voice sounds this good
because that means you're not coaching in the tournament.

Speaker 13 (29:09):
You know, I say this a lot to you, but
my voice is never bad because of the coaching.

Speaker 12 (29:14):
It's always bad because the lack of sleep and during
the tournament you don't get any sleep, and when you
don't sleep, not that I sleep a lot now, but no,
I don't sleep because.

Speaker 13 (29:23):
Of all those other reasons you just talked about before
it was my team. But either way, who the hell
needs a voice? You know?

Speaker 12 (29:30):
You do?

Speaker 14 (29:31):
I do? I do.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
How do you think my voice would go over if
I'm in the huddle and I don't have to yell,
I just say, guys, this is what we're going to do.

Speaker 15 (29:43):
I know what Grandma would say to you. He'd probably
says something different to you. But you know, you got
a good voice, man, You got a good voice, and
I think it would transfer well over to the coaching professional.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
My voice is sort of Steph Curry's jumper.

Speaker 13 (30:00):
Well I's not that good, but it's good. I like it.
I've enjudged yet.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Enjoy the off season, if there is such a thing
as the off season. Thank you, coach. Thanks to hav
that that's Tom Izzo, Hall of Famer, twenty nine years
at Michigan State. Always good to talk to him. By
the way, Shawn Elliott is a Hall of Famer. Fritzi
did some research there and said that Sean is a.

Speaker 13 (30:22):
Hall of Famer.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Phone calls coming up, Andrew and Washington leads us off
on this meet Friday.

Speaker 16 (30:28):
Good morning, Andrew, Good morning, Dan Dennett. I hope you
have a great meet Friday and an excellent spring break
coming up. I was, you know, going into the Final
four weekend and a lot of talk about DJ Burns Junior.
But when I hear about that and all week long
all to talk about him, all I can think about
is Kenneth Laston Junior, you know, the Louisiana Tech player.

(30:51):
He's listed at six six, two seventy five. He's been
on three NBA teams. He went undrafted, but although he
scored forty two points in an NBA game, it just
didn't you know, he just doesn't transfer to the next level.
He's a great D League player. But that's the comparison
that I kind of saw.

Speaker 17 (31:08):
With DJ Burns junior.

Speaker 16 (31:09):
So I wanted to get your thoughts on that. And
I do have a Victor wendn Yama stat of the day.
So he is the only player in NBA history, not
just rookies, but NBA history, to ever have two hundred blocks,
seventy five steals, and one hundred three pointers made in
the season.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Thanks, guys, have a great, great thank you, Andrew. Stat
of the of the day, that best stat of the day.

Speaker 10 (31:34):
Stat of the day here comes that what stat of
the day?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Staut of the Day bronchibund Panini America the official trading

Speaker 18 (31:49):
Hey, I in.

Speaker 14 (31:51):
A morning, guys, So I had a couple of T
shirts ideas. First one is going to be a dand
whenever you go a d d C Club T shirt,
that's Dead Dance Club, Okay, that it will be a
seat and inspired T shirt. Danger rang. I don't think

(32:14):
they have any fire and shirts.

Speaker 13 (32:17):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (32:18):
But most importantly, I was trying to call to get
some advice on a potential trip to Dublin. My girlfriend's
getting a little impatient with me on making a choice.

Speaker 13 (32:28):
Okay, that's it.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
My advice would be gore there. There's no downside to it.
People are wonderful and there's so many different things to
see in Dublin. You're always going to have fun.

Speaker 14 (32:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Food's a lot better than you think, and of course
you uh have some libations there that can entertain you
as well. But yeah, people go there to have a
good time and we we've had I've been there quite
a few times. But yeah, I uh big fan of Dublin.
Can't go wrong. All right, let me come back. We
got to play the day coming up. More phone calls

the earthquake Show. We had an earthquake about forty minutes ago.

(33:59):
And uh, you know al Michaels did this in San
Francisco the World Series and probably one of Sports Jimmy
because of that. But it was a big one.

Speaker 18 (34:08):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Four point four point eight point eight? Four point eight?

Speaker 5 (34:12):
What's what's the max?

Speaker 18 (34:13):
Is there?

Speaker 14 (34:13):
Like?

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Is that like high on the list?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
I would think that would be above average. I think
the one I was in was three point five. And
when I was in Los Angeles and I remember being
with a guy at his house. He goes go stand
in the doorway, and I go, okay, So we stood
in the doorway and then it quickly passed. Then everybody
goes outside, and then you kind of take inventory of

(34:36):
the neighborhood and then everybody resumes what they were doing
at the time before the earthquake.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yes, and apparently there are and I know there's a
good huge portion of our audience that's probably getting a
kick out of us talking about this, but at being
much more experienced. But the apparently there's rollers and shakers.
Those are two different types.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Of earthquakes, okay and streets.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
Rollers are more like like a wave that you can
almost like see coming, like like when it's coming down
the street and you're like, oh crap, that's an earthquake coming.
That's a roller. Shakers are more like buildings start to shake.
I think we just had a shaker. Yeah, it feels
like a shaker.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
I think we had a shaker.

Speaker 18 (35:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (35:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
According to the United States Government's website on earthquakes, five
point three is a moderate earthquake where damage could be had.
Anything above five. They said damage could be done to
a building, and your building is in danger of structural problems.
Once you get to six and above that's a strong earthquake.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Okay, yeah, it rocked the Eastern Seaboard is what it did.
Just practicing in case I get back into hard news.
Rocked the Eastern Yes, this just in and earthquake four
point seven rock the Eastern Seaboard. We'll have more coming up, yes, Todd.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Now the epicenter was in New Jersey.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Were they celebrating that n victory by Seaton Hall so
much that they created some kind of crazy grounds?

Speaker 5 (35:58):
Okay, I'm likeirate.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah, Seaton Hall wins the NIT East of the East. Yeah,
let's go. We've spent two hours celebrating it. Now it's
time to move on to other things.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
Big East is gonna win all three major tournaments. Men's
women's it okay, LESCo.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Called your shot. Uh, LESCo called your shot. By the way,
the odds to win the men's title, it's Yukon, followed
by Purdue and then distant third. NC State and Alabama
are tied the point spreads for this weekend, nc State
getting nine against Purdue and Alabama getting eleven and a
half versus Yukon. As far as the women, Yukon, the

(36:36):
women are getting two and a half versus Iowa, NC
State getting eleven and a half versus South Carolina. You
can bet they have prop bets. I don't like that
they have these prop bets, but they are entertaining. Caitlin
Clark over under points tonight Marvin Yukon apologist and a half, Paulie.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
Thirty four and a half, Todd twenty eight and a half.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
See U twenty seven and a half, thirty three and
a half, Paige Becker's over under a Yukon apologist Marvin
twenty eight and a half, Paulie twenty six and a half,
bloooo over under threes for Kitlyn Clark Tonight forty seven

(37:25):
and a half, paul over under threes made threes for
Caitlyn Clark.

Speaker 19 (37:31):
Six and a half, Marvin eight and a half, Todd
seven and a half, Seaton uh ten and a half
five and a half.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
That's halftime five and a half, insulting over underassist for
Caitlyn Clark tonight, Seaton O'Connor eight and a half, Marv
Marvin six and a half, Paul zero zero assists for
Kaitlin Clark, Todd eleven and a half, ten and a

(38:03):
half ten and a half. That's pretty good. Stat line
if you said you're getting thirty three out of Caitlin
Clark and ten assist so I think you're going to
need a little bit more than that. And that's where
teammates coming in. If if she doesn't have a monster game,

(38:24):
if Paige Beckers is able to kind of match what
she puts up, then it's going to come down to
the supporting cast and who has a hot hand there.
But those are just some of the numbers there. I
do have odds to win the Masters, just got those
from DraftKings. Scotty Scheffler's the big favorite. Then it's Rory,
John Rahm, welcome back, Brooks Kopke, welcome back. And then

(38:47):
you have Xander Schoffley. So Scheffler is plus four hundred
to win the Masters, Rory is plus one thousand, Tiger
is plus thirteen thousand. His odds are better than Phil Mickelson,
who is plus fifteen talents.

Speaker 20 (39:02):
In stad of the Day, That of the day, Here
comes the stat of the days. That of the days,
stat of the day, Here comes the stat of the Day.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show, by
the way Rory McElroy talked about how ratings are down
and maybe a way to improve those golf ratings.

Speaker 21 (39:37):
I know this isn't the be all end all, but
I mean if you look at the TV ratings of
the DJ Tour and the you know this year, you know,
the don twenty percent across the board, it's a fifth.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
That's big.

Speaker 21 (39:47):
I would say the numbers on Live aren't great either,
in terms of the people tuning in. I just think
with the fighting and everything that's went on over the
past couple of years, people are just getting really fatigued
of it, and I think it's it's turning people off
man professional golf, and that's not a good thing for anyone.
So it's going to be really interesting to see how
the four major championships do, I mean, or even the

(40:08):
three because put Augusta's side, I think that's sort of
a you know, that sort of lives in its own world.
But it'll be really interesting to see how the major
championship numbers fair compared to the other bigger events, because
there's an argument to me, me, if the numbers are
better and you've got all the best players in the
world playing, then there's an argument to say, Okay, we

(40:28):
need to get this thing back together. But on the
flip side, if the numbers aren't as good, it's an
argument to still say we need to put everyone back
together because people are losing interest in the game, even
if they don't want to tune into the four major championships.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, you got to get everybody back together. You can't
afford to have the sport fragmented. And the question is
how do you get everybody back sort of on the
same page, how do you coexist? By the way, Todd
will have his one dining moment, his song have That
for You coming up. He did it with one take,
which is really remarkable when you think about the singing

(41:02):
ability of Todd Fritz, I'm not surprised at all. Here
is Todd's take off one shining moment. Since this is
the final FOURK in Championship week in Elite eight, we
gave you the one dining moment.

Speaker 10 (41:26):
The food is served meats a corved.

Speaker 22 (41:31):
You're jeweling with air dissipation because you're so stoved.

Speaker 10 (41:38):
You've flopped sandwich years. They don't see your taste buds.

Speaker 23 (41:43):
Glow all bad hard work. Well, now it shows in
one dining moment.

Speaker 10 (41:51):
It all tasted vine.

Speaker 23 (41:53):
One dining moment.

Speaker 10 (41:55):
Stuff your face but no wine.

Speaker 24 (42:04):
No, the scales nod off, Yes, the pounds pack on
you sail, have just one more until the plates are gone.

Speaker 10 (42:15):
Now your jeans won't close.

Speaker 22 (42:18):
What's a man to do? Your star Mick's full and
your bowels are too. That one dining moment, how did
you get so wide? One dining moment?

Speaker 10 (42:31):
Do it grilled, baked or fried?

Speaker 12 (42:34):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (42:34):
One dining moment.

Speaker 10 (42:36):
Bone appetite, one.

Speaker 23 (42:39):
Dining moment, feel that grill heat that one dining.

Speaker 10 (42:45):
Moment, no fox, boon or knife.

Speaker 23 (42:48):
One dining moment, the time of your life, one dining
moment from eight down to one, one dining moment.

Speaker 10 (42:59):
Can't you taste all the fun? That one shining moment?
Who's got it better than us? Our one shining moment?
Nobody does.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
No, that wasn't purposely bad, but I was trying to
make that something okay. And then the music ran out
and then you're still singing.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Yeah, we went a couple of verses too long.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
We were kind of off a little bit. Yeah, that
was that was even more incredible. That was one take
and it wasn't a skit.

Speaker 4 (43:29):
Or a bit or trying to be like an was
very serious.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Yes, yes, And just to be clear, Todd, you could
hear the music.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
I could hear the music.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
You could, Okay, I just want to make sure it
wasn't edited after the factor something.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Yes, So our great production team in back they taped
it and they gave him a chance, say, Todd, would
you think would you like another try or too? And
like nope, all good, nailed, walked out the building.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
I think we're gonna get progressively worse if I.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Kept nailed it. Impossible, nailed it. You did it, thank you. Uh,
even right out of the gate when you started. It
was actually pretty fast here.

Speaker 23 (44:12):
The food.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
All right?

Speaker 12 (44:16):
I like that?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yeah, I liked it.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
I liked it.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
You nailed it. You nailed it.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
Thought there were some interesting lines in there. We can
goof on the singing portion of it.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
But I thought I thought it was well written.

Speaker 12 (44:28):
I could.

Speaker 10 (44:28):
I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
It wasn't well sung, but it was well written.

Speaker 7 (44:32):
I did go into a trying to make it like
a fun serious thing, which is obviously now like the butt.

Speaker 12 (44:38):
Of all.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
That makes it even worse that you were actually trying
being dead.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
How could I make this awful and silly and just
get ripped for it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
My thanks to uh Rob and the b rgs who
put all that together.

Speaker 17 (44:53):
Uh this just in.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Bronnie James. I've had a year with some ups and downs,
but all added to the growth for me as a man,
student and athlete. I've made the decision to enter the
NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility, and we'll also
be entering the NCAA transfer portal. Thank you to USC

(45:17):
for an amazing freshman year and is always thankful for
my family, friends, doctors, athletic trainers, and fans for their support.
That's Brownie Junior. I wondered if he would go to Dukane,
SMU Oregon or Ohio State Lebron's high school coach still
coaching at Dukane?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Is that right, Marvin So his high school coach retired.
Now it's his high school teammate.

Speaker 10 (45:43):
Is that now?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
The head coach Ken.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Kan Okay SMU Andy Enfield just left to take the job.
Eric Musselman just took the USC job. Now you have
Oregon and Ohio State, which I think they were on
his original list there of teams, So he's got his
options open here that he's going to transfer and also

(46:07):
entering the NBA Draft, So that's kind of keeping all
your options open. I don't know if that means he
could go back to USC but he is entering the
transfer portal. I want to make sure I get the
wording correct here. I made the decision to enter the
NBA draft while maintaining my college eligibility, will also be
entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Speaker 13 (46:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I hope he stays, gets another year, gets healthy, because
you start the year with that health scare and then
you're trying to play catch up. And you know, there
were times when I mean, even have moments. But he's
not a great player, but he's certainly not a finished product.
But I think having one more year and maybe you're
the focal point of a team, maybe a couple of years.

(46:53):
But I here's the thing. I don't know how much
pressure is on him to get into the NBA because
he's is going to continue to play until he comes in.
Let's say he stays two more years in college. Does
Lebron want to play this year, next year, in the
year after that. I don't know, but I would think

(47:15):
that that would factor in because Lebron has been very
vocal about playing with Bronni hopefully on the same team.
But adds a little more pressure to what you're doing. Yeah,
it does add a little more pressure to it. I mean,
is he going pro because he's ready?

Speaker 14 (47:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Or is he going pro because his dad needs him to.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
That's what it feels like and that needs them to
in terms of like but like, hey, if we're going
to do this, I think you got to do it
this year because I don't know that I'm going to
have it for another I don't know that I can
wait two more.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
I get the feeling he's going to just transfer to
play one more year of college basketball. Now, Lebron said, look,
he's got some decisions to make. I hope Bronni gets
to make the decision because if you're going to make
that decision where you know, this is really really important
to his dad, and I'm guessing it's really important Lebronny,
But it feels like it's more important to lebron that

(48:07):
he gets to play basketball with his son. But he's
got all of his options open. Here, is somebody going
to draft him? Do you draft him? Just because if
you draft him, then maybe you get Lebron, how high
do you draft him? I don't think he has that.
Remember when that first mock draft came out and I

(48:29):
was like, hold on here, they had him as you know,
first round, you know, draft pick, and I go, I
don't think so you should watch. He's got players on
his team who are better than him. But yes, he's
Lebron James's son, but all of his options are open.
All right, Well, take a break, by the way, Seaton
poll question. You want to update that from the first

(48:52):
couple of hours, and what are we going to go
within the final.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
Hour here of the program? Yeah, we got a few
work in here. Would you start your NBA team with
Lebron James or Magic Johnston?

Speaker 5 (49:03):
I'd see that out there.

Speaker 6 (49:04):
Yeah, Paul threw that one out there that was based
off of an earlier discussion. I think that's a fair topic.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
I want to guess I'm gonna say people take Magic
by how much? Sixty six percent of the people responding
would take Magic point two percent point two. Right now,
it's fifty point two to forty nine point eight. Magic
barely barely barely over Lebron. Okay, that to me is

(49:31):
really interesting. If you could only watch one March Madness
of the super Bowl. This is also a Paula question.

Speaker 6 (49:38):
Fifty three percent have the super Bowl and then really
for the story of the day. The final fourk Your
choices are Nashville Hot, chicken, French Dip, grilled cheese, chicken palm.
You want to guess this is very close. It's very close.
French Dip barely beating out a Nashville Hot. The last

(50:00):
place is a grilled cheese.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Well, see the problem with a grilled cheese. You gotta
have tomato soup with it. But it's grilled cheese. By
the way, has twenty percent of the vote.

Speaker 18 (50:09):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
It's very very close to all of it. We're about
to put up the n bracket. Okay, the National Indigestion Tournament.
These are the sandwiches that lost down. Yes, all right,
let's take a break. We got phone calls coming up.
I do have an update on March Madness and the
women not being able to use that until this year.
I just had a source who sent me an email

(50:31):
here about that topic. We'll have that for you coming
up after this.

him very emotional, like, marf, you got straight a's. You're
supposed to get straight a's, Marvin, that's why I sent
you to school, dummy.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do. No tough love.
But look at the man that they made you into.

Speaker 3 (52:43):

Those are coming out soon. Yeah, next Tuesday. Next Tuesday
could be good, it could be I'm not preparing for
us to be nominated. You're not, and I don't. Nobody

(53:14):
has to text me. If if I don't hear from somebody,
I'll just assume we did not get nominated again. Well, no,
we've been nominated quite a few times. I think we
had a what a four or five year last year? Yeah,
we we had five years in a row. We were
nominated for a sports simmy. That's pretty good. Yeah, all right,

(53:35):
let's see final results of the poll. Question this day
in sports history. Some phone calls in here as well. Okay,
more confidence in the Yukon men winning or South Carolina
women winning the championship. I don't mean to drop that
on you with you know, ten minutes to go in

(53:56):
the show. You're more confident in South carol line of
women's team or the Yukon men's team winning it all?

Speaker 4 (54:03):
Todd, I'm gonna go South Carolina women.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
All right, Seaton Yukon, all right, Marvin Yukon, all right,
Well you have to say that Setan.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Or Paul Yukon men win at Iowa women win it.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Okay, right?

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Uh, I would say South Carolina I have perdue beating
Connecticut in the Celebrity Bracket Challenge. I think, Yeah, what
does Jim Bahon? Yeah, I know that's why I can't
win it.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
You wins the whole thing. I perdue beat you, Khan.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
I just want to be respectable because we we started
down pretty low Seaton and I and just trying to
rise up out of the ashes. And maybe it's a
sign after the earthquake. Yeah, I thought you were a
down bottom with me. I was, but not anymore. I'm
a winner. I'm a winner all right. This day in
sports history, Paul.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Just got a couple. Let's see here. Kareem adudl Jabbar
in nineteen eighty four broke wil Chamblin scoring record thirty
one four nineteen.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
That was in Las Vegas, yep.

Speaker 5 (55:02):
And this is a good one. In nineteen ninety nine,
Barry Bonds was walked intentionally for the two hundred and
seventieth time in his career.

Speaker 13 (55:10):
That made it.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
He passed Hank Aaron for that record. He played another
nine seasons after that. Well he was walked intentionally. Oh
my god, I mean, I don't even know how to
get to it. I think six hundred and eighty eight times,
it's the most unbreakable record in all of sports.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Let me see or Herscheizer's streak of fifty nine consecutive
scoreless innings came to an end, and twenty sixteen Yukon
the women won their fourth national championship in a row,
beating Syracuse. Bob in Montana's back, Hi, Bob, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 18 (55:46):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (55:47):
Hey, hey early, happy birthday at Marvion. Good job there, Marvin.
Welcome to the forty club almost But hey, my stories
little dated. I actually graduated from Oakland University there in Rochester, Michigan,
back at nineteen eighty eight. I went to school there
all four years, and my junior year nineteen eighty six,
our intermural basketball team won in double overtime to a

(56:09):
championship against the team made up of all the fifth
year seniors who didn't graduate that year. So it was
quite a big accomplishment. And I would be willing to
donate my nineteen eighty six championship jersey to be hung
up into man cave if you want it an indefinite
loan for the next four years. Maybe you put it
right next to Ryan Leaf's jersey.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
I think we're going to hold off on that, Bob,
but I do appreciate the offer. I mean, you know
we'll take that under advisement. And we're running out of
space in here, but thank you Bob Ben in Birmingham,
Hi Ben, what's on your mind?

Speaker 18 (56:43):
Hey Dan, I've got a pie in the faith bet
for Marvin for the Yukon Alabama game this weekend.

Speaker 13 (56:49):
Oh, if Bama.

Speaker 18 (56:52):
Wins, Marvin's got to take four pies in the face
while wearing his Yukon jersey. So the all four of
year in the studio hit him with a pie. If
you gone wins, I will give more than two Alabama
football tickets and take them out for barbecue and Tuscaloosa.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Well how about that, Marvin? Oh that's a good one.
You know what, how about two pies in no jersey.
I'm not messing up my Ray Hamilton jersey.

Speaker 18 (57:17):
Oh jersey. Four pies to the final four no jerseys?

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Okay, okay, four pies, no jersey. Marvin, Oh, come on,
your favored by eleven and a half. You're gonna beat Alabama.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
I know, I'm just wondering about how much. Yes, I'll
take the bet.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Okay, that's all. That's all it is. It's straight up.
It's not points, all right, Ben, you got a bet, Marvin,
all right, yeah, how about that. Nobody's given Alabama a
shot here?

Speaker 13 (57:47):
All right?

Speaker 2 (57:48):
That makes me nervous man.

Speaker 6 (57:51):
Uh' yes, Hey, do you want to get to the
final fourk real quick?

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Yeah? Since we did it all week, your final.

Speaker 6 (57:59):
The big interest from this week Nashville Hot Chicken, French Dip,
grilled Cheese, Chicken palm. Last place with twenty percent of
the vote is grilled cheese, followed by chicken parm. That
means you're Nashville Hot Chicken coming in second. French Dip
is the winner.
