(00:46):
A couple of the headlines. WNBA Draft coming up tonight.
Kentucky introduced Mark Pope is their new head coach. You
got the play in games Tuesday and Wednesday, and Scotti
Scheffler wins the Masters. He said all along, if his
wife went into labor, he was going to leave no
matter where he was in the tournament. Ended up getting
(01:07):
through the tournament and winning an impressive fashion. So that's
multiple green jackets and he's just twenty seven years of age.
And we were also wondering, in fact, just a couple
of minutes ago during the commercial break, if we were
going to name Scottie Scheffler's son or daughter. I don't
know if it's a boy or girl, but we came
up with some and then this audience, of course helping
(01:30):
as well. You could have Augie Augusta and call him
Gus if you wanted to. How about Maggie. Magnolia would
be another one as well. Maybe you'd be Magnolia Lane
like Penny Lane. Yeah, with the Beatles, So Maggie Lane, Scheffler,
any other names that were suggested?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
T Scheffler, like t Martin, the former quarterback at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Also te Scheffler. Ee, okay, not Bogie. How about.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Bogie Shanks Shanks Scheffler.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, there is a player. I think his name is Shank.
Oh really, yeah, I think there's a and he was
in contention on Sunday. I think it's Shank, Yes, Marvin.
What about Georgia?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh no, that's my daughter's name. Yeah, great name. Sure
you can do that wonderful name. Yeah, we're just trying
to help out the Scheffler family. What was the results
when we said, if you were in that position where
you were going for your second green jacket and your
wife goes into labor with your first child, would you
(02:36):
leave the tournament? What were the results seating from the
first two hours.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
U very very firmly in the stay and finish out
your rounds Okay yea.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
By the way, the odds early odds to win the
PGA Championship Scottie Scheffler big favorite, followed by Rory John,
rom Brooks Koepk and Victor Hoblin. We keep waiting. We
nothing better than when you have two players. Like boxing,
when you have two boxers and their rivals. We love that.
(03:09):
With golf, you want somebody who matches somebody. We wanted
that with Tiger. We wanted that with Tiger and we
never got it. Kept waiting, Phil kind of, Ernie else
kind of we're waiting, and now you have Scotti Scheffler. Well,
we've had Roaring Justin, Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, There's
(03:32):
a long list of names, and then we're going, all right,
here we go. We're going to get a show to
Colin Moore Cowa, and then it just doesn't always materialize.
And sometimes the other golfer is so much better that
it doesn't matter. You can't create a rivalry. It's like
when the Red Sox and Yankees, and they would call
it a rivalry, and I said, not until Boston wins
(03:54):
does it become a rivalry, because the analogy was always
the Red Sox of the fire hydrant and the Yankees
are the dog, and we know what happens to the
fire hydrant. And then all of a sudden they won,
and now you have a rivalry. Before then, you didn't
have a rivalry. Lakers Celtics, back in the day, you
had a rivalry there Pistons and the Bulls, and you
(04:15):
had a rival golf. That's what you want. You want
the two best players like John Rahm against Scotty Scheffler,
and I wonder these players who play on the Live Tour.
You're not really playing competitive golf from the standpoint of
I might not get paid this weekend. Nobody misses the
cut at a Live Tour event and you're playing fifty
(04:36):
four and you're having fun and you're with your buddies,
but there's no pressure there and just trying to replicate
that where you go, Okay, now this means something, Now
this is important. They're already getting paid, so you've already
taken that out of the equation. But to play with
that desperation, the pressure, the tension, and I think that
(05:01):
is what is missing with these players and will be
missing with these players, because if you go out and
have fun with your buddies and you play over the weekend,
then all of a sudden you're in the club championship.
Well it's a whole lot different than playing with your buddies.
You're playing in the club championship. Yeah, but is that payout.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I'm not turning my nose up at three point six
million dollars by any means. However, when Scotty Scheffler's going
through that final round, he's like, man, you know, if
I win this, I'm gonna get a couple million dollars.
Is that really a motivating factor for someone like him?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, But he's playing competitive golf all the time. I
don't think he's thinking the money aspect of it. But
I think the competitive nature of I do this weekend
in week out, I'm playing to win. It's on I'm
playing to win three point six million. It might be
I'm playing to win a second jacket. But the Live
Tour guy, they're not in that competitive mode from the
(06:02):
standpoint of what it's like to be on the PGA Tour.
And I do think that that's what they miss. I mean,
I truly think that John Rahm looks back and goes,
did I need to do this? Because he said I
don't need to do it for the money, and then
he did it for the money. Whatever your reasons are,
it's an individual decision choice. But I think missing that
(06:25):
competitive nature, that feeling that you have, and there's nothing
like that the Live Tour is meant to be fun.
I mean, I still think the Live Tour made a
mistake by not making it four rounds. Then nobody can
argue with it from the standpoint of year at least
playing four rounds of golf, just like everybody else. When
you play three and there's no missed cuts, well that's
(06:49):
just like an outing. That's like a program where you go,
all right, this is nice. Yeah. Paul Scotti.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Scheffer's twenty seven years old. He's been on the tour
for six years. He's made fifty seven million dollars on
the course. That's fantastic. He's having one of the better
starts to his career. John Rahm got a three hundred
million dollar upfront signing bonus to join the Live Tour.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I know they got the money, but you just at
some point and you go, Okay, I got the money,
but man, I missed that competition. And they're getting to
play in these events, but at some point they're not
going to be able to qualify for this some If
you've won a green jacket, you get to come back
the rest of your career. By the way, I got
(07:30):
Scotty Scheffler. His earnings in six and a half years
of being a pro golfer are eighty two point six
million dollars. That would put him sixth all time behind
Tiger Rory, Phil Dustin, and Justin Thomas. Steat of your day,
stad of the day, that beast stat of the day,
stat of the day. Here comes that? What stat of
(07:54):
the day? Alrighty final hour on the way John Heloperry
bolts for Arkansas. As we've talked about that, it's a
win win, I think for both for Arkansas. For coach
col Mark Pope and Kentucky, and Mark understands what that
atmosphere is like walking into it because you've got to
be ready for it. I kept thinking, is there a
(08:16):
chance Kentucky would hire Rick Patino because he was supposed
to be on the short list, And I thought, Okay,
would I do that? No? I would not, And I
think Patino's as good a coach as there is in basketball.
But if if that happened, that'd be wild, be wild.
(08:41):
Billy Donovan leaving the Bulls to go there he was
on the short list, Danny Hurley said, no, I'm not
going there. I think his wife was saying, no, we're
not going there. She didn't want to go any further
south than you know, Greenwich, Connecticut, Like that's as far
south is we're going. And why would you go? He's
(09:04):
got something, you know, I always have to go to something.
Sometimes you find something and it's good. There's nothing wrong
with that. It doesn't mean you settle because he's still
he got all the pressure again. You got to do
it again. He said, we're going to threep. Okay, I
love that, But going to Kentucky it's not we hope
(09:26):
you win, it's win. Are we going to win. Why
haven't we won? And what he's done with Yukon, Not
that he's asking for it, knowing Danny, but he's on
scholarship for a little while. Where you go, all right,
got a couple of back to back, you know, national titles,
all right at Kentucky. If you won back to back,
they go, well, you got a three P. Coach, you
(09:48):
got a three P. It's like, I'll never forget the
feeling when the Eagles won the Super Bowl and I
remember hearing two guys after the game. They were Philadelphia fans,
and they said, there's no way we can repeat, like
they were already thinking of next year. Certain fan bases,
certain cities, certain colleges. It just goes along with the territory,
(10:10):
like UCLA. It used to be that way. It's not anymore.
But after John wooden't even John when coach was there,
like he had to win every year, Like what happened, Coach?
You didn't win? And then he bowls out winning in
nineteen seventy five, his last national championship, because I think
he unders like the pressure gets to you and nobody's satisfied.
(10:31):
You know, the Yankees. If you don't win you had
a bad year. I mean that says something about the
fan base that they're accustomed to that, Like the Dodgers
got to win. Celtics, come on, we haven't won in
a while. We you know, we'd like to do something
since two thousand and eight. You know, the Knicks used
to be that way. Like there's certain fan bases where
(10:54):
they just expect something more, and Kentucky is there even
though they haven't won in a lot long time. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Mark, So if you're Mark Pope, can you get like
a mulligan this year, like, you know, we got some
new players coming in, or is it a we got
to win right now or we got to make a
big run during March madness.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Well, I can't speak for the fan base understanding what
they're gonna go with Mark Pope and say, yeah, let's
let him get settled here. It's, you know, like the
town when Gene Hackman came in and coach Norman Dale
and they're they're getting around at the barber shop and
they're all talking. Well, all the little towns in Kentucky,
(11:37):
that's what they do, except for the ones that might
have to, you know, cared about Louisville basketball. Yikes. But yeah,
you're going, what's he doing? You know what kind of offense?
Who's he bringing in? Why didn't we get that guy? Hey,
he's from Kentucky. We're supposed to keep him in. Like
this is what happens. But that's what makes college basketball
(11:59):
college basketball.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, poem, if you ran Kentucky, would you consider changing
your recruiting slash anile strategy to try to keep players
two and three years where you say, here's your financial package,
and if you play three years for us, it's this
much more where you incentivize people to play for three
years as opposed to the one and done, which is
it's a crapshoot whether you could do anything in the tournament,
(12:20):
but I.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Don't know if you can contractually keep somebody there.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That could tractually. But like, okay, so I'm the twentieth
player in the country ranked, so I'm probably not going
right to the pros. I get blank to sign with Kentucky,
but if I finish my junior year there, I get
blank at the end, and if I leave, I don't
get that big day.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, but this is different than what we have with
women's college basketball because you can make more in college basketball,
like Juju Watkins, if she could leave right now at USC,
would she? I think she would stay at USC and
play another year and probably make more money there with NIL.
(13:02):
But with with the you know, men's side of this,
there's no reason to stay unless it's it's a really
big palt And there's how many schools basketball schools are
going to pay big money for NIL. And I saw
where Kentucky's raised four million dollars for NIL. That doesn't
sound like a lot of money. Now, you don't have
(13:24):
that many players. But if I'm trying to get somebody
or keep him from you, what's it going to cost
me two million? Well, there's half your budget right there.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yes, yeah, I wonder if the NIL money in women's
college basketball is you know, I think Katelyn Clark you
have to remove from the YESH conversation because she's a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yes, but I.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Wonder if it's as big as people assume it is.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I don't think it's that big. There's only a couple
of women that might be able to and maybe that's
two or three I don't know what Age or Rescott
at LSU, maybe.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Like five hundred thousand, you know what, I mean, like,
there's certain valuations that you get that probably say, and
I'm five hundred thousand dollars is a hell of a
lot of money. That's awesome, But it's not you know,
millions of dollars that sometimes is thrown around.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Well it's Caitlin Clark and then there's everybody else, right,
I mean, that's just that kind of story. When does
it come along again, somebody who plays that style selling
out buildings all around the country. I mean, Juju Watkins
might turn out to be a better player than Caitlyn Clark.
Is she going to sell out buildings on the road.
(14:38):
Probably not. Caitlyn played at a style that you know,
you hadn't seen before. It was wild. You were seeing
her take logo shots and people came out that fascination,
you know, So can you capitalize on that? How many
women are like that? Now? She's going to spawn a
(14:59):
new generation. It's just like Steph Curry did. But I
don't know how much money is available in Io. I've
never really looked into it. I think Caitlin was sort
of the anomaly that she was going to get a
couple of million dollars. But what she meant to Iowa
she was a bargain and what she meant to the
networks that's where could you see ESPN or Fox saying
(15:20):
to these players, we want you to stay an extra year. Hey,
we're willing to spend money. This about entertainment, right, This
is if I'm ESPN, can we get Caitlin Clark to
stay one more year? What's it worth to ESPN A lot?
Could you see? I know people are going to say, well,
you can't have a network spend that money, Okay, But
(15:43):
the importance of having Caitlin Clark to ESPN and ratings,
talk shows, everything that goes along with that, it's not crazy. Yeah,
Mark and Juju Watkins.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
She already has a commercial with Joel Embiid and so
she's already on her way and she's going to be
there for probably another two, if not three years.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't know how big.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
There could be somebody else who comes along, and that'll
be interesting to see. Do we have somebody who is
going to play like Caitlin Clark or is it going
to be like Juju Watkins. But the talent level has
changed dramatically. It's not these little set shots, you know,
running around Chris bounce pounses and playing Princeton offense. I
(16:28):
mean there are true athletes there and a lot of athletes.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Yeah, Mark, Yeah, Juju shooting off the bounce. Yeah, there's
no set shot. No, it's Carmelo Anthony type offensive arsenal.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Let me get to Kyle and San Antonio. Then we'll
take a break. Hey Kyle, what's on your mind to that?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Best of the weekend. I managed my son's little league
team to a walk off grounder, bringing in an RBI
to win the game by one run. Worst of the weekend.
I coached my son's basketball team to a two point loss,
and my wife was in labor with our first child
for twenty five hours. I think that you outwardly say,
(17:11):
of course I'm gonna leave. I gotta go see that,
and then you talk to your wife and say you
better not tell anybody but your mom to get you
to the hospital until I win this round, and then
I'll come and see this child because you're got twenty
five hours. You also might want to check with a
mother in law and go how long were you in
labor with your first child? Those are my thoughts.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
All right, Well, thank you, Cole, Congratulations on your baby.
Once again, it's an individual choice. Be very careful when
you ask that question to your wife, just saying, be
very careful, especially when she's in labor. You're trying to
do all the right things, remember the like the cubes
(17:49):
of ice or jello or whatever it is. And then
you'd be, honeywould you You'd be like, how about some
ice chips? Honey, like chips? Out of here? You talked, Yes.
I didn't say a word. No, now I I but
this voice is very soothing. So there you know. I
was providing a bedside man there. Yes, relax, breathe deep,
(18:15):
that's it, honey. Yes, dilated to too, right now, Yeah,
here's the dilated too too.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And now the doctor enters the room.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Ladies and gentlemen, doctor Vaughan. Hey, tod.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
And sometimes the epidural window was gone. And now that's
not even an opera.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That happened or last one. The epidural window closed, and
I had to break the news to my wife. I said, hone,
there's no epidural Are you sure? Yes? I am, yes,
I am. Did you take one? I would have taken one.
I would have taken one for her. I would have said,
you know, Hon, I'm taking the epidural. It's not gonna help,
(19:00):
but I'm willing to take it. All right, let me
take a break and we'll get to more phone calls
coming up, and we're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
A couple of more phone calls coming up on the program.
Let me see Sam and Alaska. Hi, Sam, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Hey? Thanks for taking my call, first time caller, and
and I just wanted to weigh in on the whole
favorite child thing. Guys we're talking about We've got five
adult kids now, so It's been a discussion over the years,
and what I finally decided was, yes, I do have
(20:17):
a favorite, but it's a fluid concept. So it's all
about what have you done for me lately.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay. I don't have a sliding scale with my kids.
I treat them all the same, and I don't have
a favorite. Now there are times when one child might
be my favorite for one thing or another. Maybe they
did something really well, or they got a promotion, or
(20:44):
maybe they did laundry or something. You know, the bar's
not too high. It's just like, yah, maybe contribute a
little bit, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
When your children were younger, did you discipline them all
the same way to try to be fair? And did
they take it different ways?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
You disciplined differently. I think when you start out, you
don't even what you're doing, and then you pick your moments.
I always felt just if I if I spoke in
a like a little bit more reserved tone, oh I
got my message across to my daughters, I'd be like,
I'm I'm really disappointed. Boom, that's all you need, my son.
(21:24):
It didn't matter. It didn't matter. For about three years.
There didn't matter. My wife and I were like, I
don't know, what are you gonna do. She'd be like,
I don't know. I got to the point where and
I think I've told this story. My wife hates when
I tell this story. But my son we had four
(21:44):
kids in a seven year period and my wife is
getting the kid's breakfast they're going to school, and my
son wanted a certain type of egg and he kept saying,
I want this, I want mom, I want this, and
I have, you know, my three daughters. And my wife
finally said, okay, you want your eggs. And she grabbed
the eggs and smashed them off his forehead, three of them. Boom,
(22:09):
boom boom. How old was he again, he was probably
maybe eight seven or eight Boom boom boom, right off
his forehead. That settled that here's your egg. And I'm like, okay,
it's like my mom hit my brother with a pan
(22:29):
because he wanted something when we're growing up. And she
kept the pan. I had a dent in it to
remind us, be careful if you're going to sass back. Now,
you can't do those things now at least it's frowned upon.
But I just remember we'd see that pan and I'd
be like, damn, I don't want to cross mom. Kurt
in Michigan, Hi, Kurt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Dan? Welcome back, welcome back. You have saved three hours
of my day again.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, thank you, Kurt, Hey.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Boy, this is family advice. Now I've got some other
I need some other advice. My nephew has asked me
to the MC at his wedding, and I don't know.
Do I go serious, do I sprinkle in jokes?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Wait, help me out, Kurt. What does MC mean?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well?
Speaker 10 (23:24):
I announced at the reception, okay, okay, yeah, at the reception, sorry, yes, okay,
announcing bridon groom, announcement, whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So okay, but once you announced the wedding party, then
what else do you do?
Speaker 10 (23:42):
Moderate He hasn't told me yet where they have open
mic or not, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't know, Okay, okay, Kurt. I'm not sure of
the setting here, the environment. I would just play it straight,
no inside jokes were somebody's going, what what does he mean?
Or I don't understand that. I would try to do
it in a fun way. You know what. The enthusiasm,
(24:11):
the tone in your voice is what's going to be great,
but I wouldn't try to you know, don't go live
at the improv there. That would be my advice. Yes, seton, Kurt.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Are you a stand up comic or in comedy in
any way in real life?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Marvin just hung up on that.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Then I would say if unless. If the answer to
that is no, then don't make jokes, even if you
are a stand up comedian. Pick your sponts.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Less is always more when it comes to a wedding reception.
By the way, the bride looks beautiful, of course, the
mother of the bride looks beautiful, but.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You can't say you gotta even say it just like
you said, she looks beautiful. You can say, you know,
and Jan over there is holding.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Up, well, yeah, decent. You know I've got together. Yeah,
if I wouldn't, if I wasn't married, I might go
after that. Like you can't do any of those funny
things about the the a formaldehyde drip.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Botox.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, just always be careful of trying to be too
funny because I and you always go too long. If
you give the speech for you best men out there,
cut it in half. Don't do todd okay, don't be fritzy.
Three minutes, Max, tell a really good story, compliment and
then get the hell out. You're not as funny as
(25:26):
you think you are accurate, And the more you drink,
you're less funny accurate. And even though I'm drinking more
while listening to you, having been drinking more, You're still
not funny. Always go split it in half. You can't
go wrong with that. Can't go wrong. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
If during the middle of your speech and your stories
you say the phrase to make a long story short,
that means you failed.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You failed. Yeah, And does anybody really make a long
story short? They go long and then realize they went
too long, and then they stay to make a long
story short. No, you made a long story longer. That's
all you did. Yes, Todd, that's a fact. Thank you.
In and out kept Rob in Orlando, Hi Rob, what's
(26:12):
on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Good morning, guys. Glad to have you back. I got
a best and the worst for you. The best of
the weekend was seeing Alan Iverson get his tiny.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Trophy installed, not at the arena, but appropriately at the
practice facility.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yes, practice and uh.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
The worst of the weekend was Saturday, last Saturday and
office past one in our church Direct League Basketball. I
broke my leg, and as I'm swearing on the floor,
I go into shock, not because of my leg, but
because I realize, Oh crap, I don't have the DP
show next week.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So thanks guys. All right, well got another captive audience here.
Broken leg. Can't go anywhere that that's right in our house. Hey,
you can't get up and change the channel. We're the
show for you. Uh Berry and Santa fe Hi Berry,
(27:09):
welcome back.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Good morning. So it's good morning, chat Bro. I have
a name for that golfer's son.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Okay, Putts putt e u t t s oh putts
puts tefler kind of a negative kind of tent does
because if I called you a Putts. Yeah, yeah, that's
a name, kind of mean.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Yeah, what's like you're a dope or something you said
or did something stupid, you'd be a Putt.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So puts is it would mean you're a dork? Is
that what it is?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Along those lines.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I'd even go as far as to say that like
being a Putts is kind of being kind of dumb.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And knuckle head. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Ignorant.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Okay, well I can't call you ignorant because you graduated
second in your class of six hundred.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
My wife likes to remind me, this is the high
school I went to. Wasn't that big a deal. They
probably wasn't that many smart kids.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
But still there were six hundred kids. Yes, and you
ended up cheating in high school.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
I checked some chemistry.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Did cheat? You did cheat? You did cheat. When we
were on vacation, uh, it was announced that O. J.
Simpson had passed away. I did not know that he
was battling cancer. And you know, when I think back
on OJA, I have mixed emotions here because I remember
watching vividly in the late sixties when he is running
(28:32):
in the Rose Bowl and I had not seen somebody
run like that. I you know, Gail Sairs was similar,
but I had not seen anybody like that. He just
had this ability to sort of be floating when he
was running and then goes into the NFL Russia's for
two thousand yards and uh, you know it was part
(28:53):
of you know, Juice in the Electric Company in Buffalo,
and then he had commercials. I mean, he was so
well liked by Middle America. Everybody. They loved OJ Run,
OJ Run, And you know, a lot of people don't
remember that person. But I have to factor in everything.
(29:14):
If I'm thinking about him. I've talked about, you know,
my interview that I had with him after you know,
the murder trial, the uncomfortable moments that I had during
that interview with OJ. But when you think of reality TV,
I think reality TV started with OJ Simpson because all
(29:35):
of a sudden, we had a live police chase, a
slow chase in the White Bronco and you're watching this.
So this is during I'm at the NBA Finals, and
I remember we had one monitor with the NBA game
on at the garden and then you had the other
one with OJ. And I'm watching OJ even though I'm
(29:56):
there to cover the NBA Finals. And you know Al Cowllings, uh,
you know, he had played at USC best friends and
he's driving the car and you know, we're wondering, you know,
where's he going and why's he do? You know, what's
if he didn't do it? And you know, so all
of this stuff kind of factors in. But then everybody
(30:17):
sort of became a reality star. I don't remember anything
else in my lifetime where, you know, kato' kalan became
part of the reality star world. All the lawyers there
and Johnny Cochran and Judge Edo, like, they all became
reality stars it And it took over a year for
(30:38):
that trial, I believe, and then everything that happened after
that and what it spawned, and the fact that Kim
Kardashian's dad was on the legal team with OJ, and
then all of a sudden, you see what that led
to with the Kardashians. But I just remember with OJ,
(30:58):
and you know, when he was found guilty or not guilty,
and I was playing golf that day in Hartford with
some of the members of the Hartford Whalers and we
went into the grill room and we watched the verdict
and we were just like, how did that happen? But
(31:19):
it did, but it felt like it was a reality show.
And then years, you know, passed, and OJ was supposedly
looking for the killers while playing golf constantly got put
in prison for what happened in Vegas. When he was
trying to get his memorabilia back, he would have his
(31:39):
Twitter World things that he would say, it's a.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Bad day for people who do impressions of OJ.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I mean, I ran into cato' kalen in Vegas at
Shadow creek. We're playing golf, he's with Norm MacDonald and
like you're just thinking, how did this happen? But it did.
It's I think where reality TV was born, for better
or worse?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, seen, the dude actually had audacity isn't even the
right word. Yeah, But just the fact that he wrote
a book called If I Did It Confessions of the Killer,
a hypothetical like account of how he would have done
it if he had no just a pathetical that is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
He never he never read the room. He was always
the most important person in the room. Imagine you loved
somebody so much that you kill them, like he loved her,
but he killed her because he didn't want anybody else
with her. And whether he acted alone, which I don't
(32:47):
think he did, but still, I remember he tried to
tell me during the interview that you know, he didn't
do it, and I just said I don't want to
hear it, because you know, that's where we had the
awkward moment when we're not on camera and he says
to me, do you think I did it? And then
I said did what? And then he said kill those
(33:10):
two people? And then I said yes, And then we
started up the interview right after that. But yeah, I
gets we tend to see OJ in that light. We
forget what he was before that, And it's not that
we should remember that, but I do. I you know
how big of a star he was just the context
(33:33):
of telling somebody's life story, It's easy to jump to
the very end, but look, I was right there and
appreciating O. J. Simpson the football player. I met him
a couple of times personally outside of that interview that
I did, when he was working for ENDBC. So yeah,
(33:54):
just bizarre. And then who he's calling and he's trying
to get a hold of Bob Costas, who's on the
air at the time with NBC, and who's visiting him
in prison, and just wild, wild, Yeah, Paul, it.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Really does feel like you're speaking about we're speaking about
two different people, because before the day that the killings happened,
he was one of more popular celebrities. Like where he
enjoyed being a celebrity. You see him on TV shows,
He enjoyed, he goes, he was in movies, and I'd
heard from people saying like, if you walk up to
him photograph, he give you the time, he give you
the picture. He was an American celebrity that loved being
(34:29):
it and we liked him. He was in TV shows
and movies and Monday Football. It didn't work out great,
but he was on it because he was such a
likable guy.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, he wasn't a good broadcaster, but he was so
charismatic and you just you look back on that, and
he had everybody fooled because then I started asking questions.
I'm at the NBA Finals. It' said halftime, and I'm
asking somebody who was a friend of OJ. I said,
would you come on camera? And he said no, but
(34:59):
he said he used to beat her all the time.
And I remember hearing that from this person. I was
so disappointed that he didn't And maybe it's not fair,
but in the moment, I'm thinking, why didn't you say
something to somebody? But I mean, it's just all surreal, surreal.
(35:19):
You're in an NBA finals and I'm asking if I
can do interviews with certain people about OJ and everybody
said no. Everybody did last call for phone calls. What
we learned, what's in store tomorrow after this?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Went to Italy on my vacation and I found out
that there are places in Italy that don't serve pasta
at all. I went into a couple of restaurants with
my wife and I just kept thinking, all right, I'm
here for some real thin pizza, and I'm here for
some wine, and I'm here for some pasta. Well I
(36:07):
found the wine, I didn't find the thin pizza. And
found a couple places that didn't have pasta. And I
even said, how do you not have pasta? But I
was in southern Italy and they liked their seafood there,
maybe a little bit more than their pasta. But I
was unpleasantly surprised. I was like what. And then we
(36:31):
did find some places that had wonderful, wonderful pasta.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yes, Paulma, and you've been to Italy a few times,
But have you gone to a city or town in
Italy where YO go?
Speaker 7 (36:39):
You know?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I think I could live here. I think this would
be the one I might move for a couple of
years too. Was there a big town, small town?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
No? I think I'd like to try Lake Cuomo, northern
part of Italy, just to see if maybe that'd be
a place where I could live. Very beautiful, not as warm,
and Clooney is selling his home over there.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
You could buy direct, No, I think it's pretty expensive.
Big difference between northern Italy and southern Italy, Yeah, big difference. Yeah,
climate is different, but the people are wonderful.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I mean they are.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
House football is bigger down south southern Italy.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
About ninety percent speak English, you know, so they understand tourism.
But wonderful people. And I went to a city called Matera,
which they used to have people who lived in caves
for centuries. There they filmed The Passion of the Christ
and maybe a Mission Impossible or James Bond movie there,
(37:42):
like Die Another Day or something like that, but spectacular,
Like you're just going, how did these people do this?
Carving these things out of rocks there?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, the Bond movie No Time to Die
seen that there?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, But it was great. It was a lot of
a lot of walking, a lot of driving, and had fun.
It's always great to go there. Yes, and not a
soul knew who I was, which is even better. You know.
I tried to I tried to get, you know, the
sports center voice, but you know it didn't matter.
Speaker 8 (38:16):
Yes, John, that restaurant couldn't even do linguini and clam sauce.
You just have one pasta dish.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
You still have the seafood involved. What part of no
pasta did you not understand? What the way?
Speaker 8 (38:26):
What did the way or wedges actually say to you?
They just had to wear more into seafood, that was
their response.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
They just said, I mean, it's not the Olive Garden.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
But you asked why there was no apasta. So I
was curious what they were sponsors other than we're all
about seafood or something.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
They just put whatever they put on the menu. I
don't I don't know. I just like, Okay, that's kind
of strange. I thought every place would have pasta, But
once again, it's like Sparrow or Olive Garden.
Speaker 8 (38:49):
But you would think it would be at least one pasta.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Do you would think that? But there weren't. So I
can't speak for the restaurants mixed with you know, I
worked with this Todd and he said, why not have
some seatfood pasta here and some clams.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
That was a mistake on them.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yes, I just watched last night that movie that talented
mister Ripley. Yes, that's all set all throughout Italy. Yes,
and it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Creepy movie, but man is it good.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
And it's a kind of movie that you could just
watch for the scenery and lifestyle alone.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
And they're bringing back it's called Ripley and it's a
six part series. I think that is based off the movie.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
Philip Seymour Hoffman in that movie is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Every movie that he was in it felt like Philip
Seymour Hoffman never cheated you.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
No he was, but he Yes, he was just perfect
in so many roles. But there's this part where he says,
like the Matt Damon's character is like the poser and
he's wearing a corduroy.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Jacket in Italy. This is so man a corter Roy
jacket in Italy. Yeah, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Yeah, what a
what an actor? Yep, he was great.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
One final results of the pole question we got actually
a whole bunch of them. Now we're naming kids, we're
talking about how you treat your kids. We got a million.
If the Scheffler's had a girl the best baby name
is Azalea about sixty percent. The Schefflers have a boy,
Ace right now? Seventy one percent of that vote? All right, Ace,
I like which basketball program improved more, Kentucky or Arkansas?
(40:24):
Arkansas got way better about sixty eight percent? Uh, do
you treat your first child differently than your other children's
sixty percent?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Due rude?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
And if your wife was in labor with your first
child while you were leading your second masters, you would
stay and finish out the master's sixty percent?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
All right? I think these pole questions pretty much sum
up what this show is all about. Variety of topics
thereh yes, corner coopia, Todd, would you learn today.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
We all need to slow down. Be comparing Scotty Schefler's
recent Dominus to Tiger, We likely won't be seeing any
Scottie proofing of a golf.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Course see no connor, would you learn nobody scottieproofing anything?
Marvin fritz to won the bracket challenge? Yay, we had
to score exactly what Bolly? What did you learn there
are dimples on a golf ball?

(00:46):
A couple of the headlines. WNBA Draft coming up tonight.
Kentucky introduced Mark Pope is their new head coach. You
got the play in games Tuesday and Wednesday, and Scotti
Scheffler wins the Masters. He said all along, if his
wife went into labor, he was going to leave no
matter where he was in the tournament. Ended up getting
(01:07):
through the tournament and winning an impressive fashion. So that's
multiple green jackets and he's just twenty seven years of age.
And we were also wondering, in fact, just a couple
of minutes ago during the commercial break, if we were
going to name Scottie Scheffler's son or daughter. I don't
know if it's a boy or girl, but we came
up with some and then this audience, of course helping
(01:30):
as well. You could have Augie Augusta and call him
Gus if you wanted to. How about Maggie. Magnolia would
be another one as well. Maybe you'd be Magnolia Lane
like Penny Lane. Yeah, with the Beatles, So Maggie Lane, Scheffler,
any other names that were suggested?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
T Scheffler, like t Martin, the former quarterback at Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Also te Scheffler. Ee, okay, not Bogie. How about.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Bogie Shanks Shanks Scheffler.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, there is a player. I think his name is Shank.
Oh really, yeah, I think there's a and he was
in contention on Sunday. I think it's Shank, Yes, Marvin.
What about Georgia?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh no, that's my daughter's name. Yeah, great name. Sure
you can do that wonderful name. Yeah, we're just trying
to help out the Scheffler family. What was the results
when we said, if you were in that position where
you were going for your second green jacket and your
wife goes into labor with your first child, would you
(02:36):
leave the tournament? What were the results seating from the
first two hours.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
U very very firmly in the stay and finish out
your rounds Okay yea.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
By the way, the odds early odds to win the
PGA Championship Scottie Scheffler big favorite, followed by Rory John,
rom Brooks Koepk and Victor Hoblin. We keep waiting. We
nothing better than when you have two players. Like boxing,
when you have two boxers and their rivals. We love that.
(03:09):
With golf, you want somebody who matches somebody. We wanted
that with Tiger. We wanted that with Tiger and we
never got it. Kept waiting, Phil kind of, Ernie else
kind of we're waiting, and now you have Scotti Scheffler. Well,
we've had Roaring Justin, Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, There's
(03:32):
a long list of names, and then we're going, all right,
here we go. We're going to get a show to
Colin Moore Cowa, and then it just doesn't always materialize.
And sometimes the other golfer is so much better that
it doesn't matter. You can't create a rivalry. It's like
when the Red Sox and Yankees, and they would call
it a rivalry, and I said, not until Boston wins
(03:54):
does it become a rivalry, because the analogy was always
the Red Sox of the fire hydrant and the Yankees
are the dog, and we know what happens to the
fire hydrant. And then all of a sudden they won,
and now you have a rivalry. Before then, you didn't
have a rivalry. Lakers Celtics, back in the day, you
had a rivalry there Pistons and the Bulls, and you
(04:15):
had a rival golf. That's what you want. You want
the two best players like John Rahm against Scotty Scheffler,
and I wonder these players who play on the Live Tour.
You're not really playing competitive golf from the standpoint of
I might not get paid this weekend. Nobody misses the
cut at a Live Tour event and you're playing fifty
(04:36):
four and you're having fun and you're with your buddies,
but there's no pressure there and just trying to replicate
that where you go, Okay, now this means something, Now
this is important. They're already getting paid, so you've already
taken that out of the equation. But to play with
that desperation, the pressure, the tension, and I think that
(05:01):
is what is missing with these players and will be
missing with these players, because if you go out and
have fun with your buddies and you play over the weekend,
then all of a sudden you're in the club championship.
Well it's a whole lot different than playing with your buddies.
You're playing in the club championship. Yeah, but is that payout.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I'm not turning my nose up at three point six
million dollars by any means. However, when Scotty Scheffler's going
through that final round, he's like, man, you know, if
I win this, I'm gonna get a couple million dollars.
Is that really a motivating factor for someone like him?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, But he's playing competitive golf all the time. I
don't think he's thinking the money aspect of it. But
I think the competitive nature of I do this weekend
in week out, I'm playing to win. It's on I'm
playing to win three point six million. It might be
I'm playing to win a second jacket. But the Live
Tour guy, they're not in that competitive mode from the
(06:02):
standpoint of what it's like to be on the PGA Tour.
And I do think that that's what they miss. I mean,
I truly think that John Rahm looks back and goes,
did I need to do this? Because he said I
don't need to do it for the money, and then
he did it for the money. Whatever your reasons are,
it's an individual decision choice. But I think missing that
(06:25):
competitive nature, that feeling that you have, and there's nothing
like that the Live Tour is meant to be fun.
I mean, I still think the Live Tour made a
mistake by not making it four rounds. Then nobody can
argue with it from the standpoint of year at least
playing four rounds of golf, just like everybody else. When
you play three and there's no missed cuts, well that's
(06:49):
just like an outing. That's like a program where you go,
all right, this is nice. Yeah. Paul Scotti.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Scheffer's twenty seven years old. He's been on the tour
for six years. He's made fifty seven million dollars on
the course. That's fantastic. He's having one of the better
starts to his career. John Rahm got a three hundred
million dollar upfront signing bonus to join the Live Tour.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I know they got the money, but you just at
some point and you go, Okay, I got the money,
but man, I missed that competition. And they're getting to
play in these events, but at some point they're not
going to be able to qualify for this some If
you've won a green jacket, you get to come back
the rest of your career. By the way, I got
(07:30):
Scotty Scheffler. His earnings in six and a half years
of being a pro golfer are eighty two point six
million dollars. That would put him sixth all time behind
Tiger Rory, Phil Dustin, and Justin Thomas. Steat of your day,
stad of the day, that beast stat of the day,
stat of the day. Here comes that? What stat of
(07:54):
the day? Alrighty final hour on the way John Heloperry
bolts for Arkansas. As we've talked about that, it's a
win win, I think for both for Arkansas. For coach
col Mark Pope and Kentucky, and Mark understands what that
atmosphere is like walking into it because you've got to
be ready for it. I kept thinking, is there a
(08:16):
chance Kentucky would hire Rick Patino because he was supposed
to be on the short list, And I thought, Okay,
would I do that? No? I would not, And I
think Patino's as good a coach as there is in basketball.
But if if that happened, that'd be wild, be wild.
(08:41):
Billy Donovan leaving the Bulls to go there he was
on the short list, Danny Hurley said, no, I'm not
going there. I think his wife was saying, no, we're
not going there. She didn't want to go any further
south than you know, Greenwich, Connecticut, Like that's as far
south is we're going. And why would you go? He's
(09:04):
got something, you know, I always have to go to something.
Sometimes you find something and it's good. There's nothing wrong
with that. It doesn't mean you settle because he's still
he got all the pressure again. You got to do
it again. He said, we're going to threep. Okay, I
love that, But going to Kentucky it's not we hope
(09:26):
you win, it's win. Are we going to win. Why
haven't we won? And what he's done with Yukon, Not
that he's asking for it, knowing Danny, but he's on
scholarship for a little while. Where you go, all right,
got a couple of back to back, you know, national titles,
all right at Kentucky. If you won back to back,
they go, well, you got a three P. Coach, you
(09:48):
got a three P. It's like, I'll never forget the
feeling when the Eagles won the Super Bowl and I
remember hearing two guys after the game. They were Philadelphia fans,
and they said, there's no way we can repeat, like
they were already thinking of next year. Certain fan bases,
certain cities, certain colleges. It just goes along with the territory,
(10:10):
like UCLA. It used to be that way. It's not anymore.
But after John wooden't even John when coach was there,
like he had to win every year, Like what happened, Coach?
You didn't win? And then he bowls out winning in
nineteen seventy five, his last national championship, because I think
he unders like the pressure gets to you and nobody's satisfied.
(10:31):
You know, the Yankees. If you don't win you had
a bad year. I mean that says something about the
fan base that they're accustomed to that, Like the Dodgers
got to win. Celtics, come on, we haven't won in
a while. We you know, we'd like to do something
since two thousand and eight. You know, the Knicks used
to be that way. Like there's certain fan bases where
(10:54):
they just expect something more, and Kentucky is there even
though they haven't won in a lot long time. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Mark, So if you're Mark Pope, can you get like
a mulligan this year, like, you know, we got some
new players coming in, or is it a we got
to win right now or we got to make a
big run during March madness.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Well, I can't speak for the fan base understanding what
they're gonna go with Mark Pope and say, yeah, let's
let him get settled here. It's, you know, like the
town when Gene Hackman came in and coach Norman Dale
and they're they're getting around at the barber shop and
they're all talking. Well, all the little towns in Kentucky,
(11:37):
that's what they do, except for the ones that might
have to, you know, cared about Louisville basketball. Yikes. But yeah,
you're going, what's he doing? You know what kind of offense?
Who's he bringing in? Why didn't we get that guy? Hey,
he's from Kentucky. We're supposed to keep him in. Like
this is what happens. But that's what makes college basketball
(11:59):
college basketball.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, poem, if you ran Kentucky, would you consider changing
your recruiting slash anile strategy to try to keep players
two and three years where you say, here's your financial package,
and if you play three years for us, it's this
much more where you incentivize people to play for three
years as opposed to the one and done, which is
it's a crapshoot whether you could do anything in the tournament,
(12:20):
but I.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Don't know if you can contractually keep somebody there.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That could tractually. But like, okay, so I'm the twentieth
player in the country ranked, so I'm probably not going
right to the pros. I get blank to sign with Kentucky,
but if I finish my junior year there, I get
blank at the end, and if I leave, I don't
get that big day.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, but this is different than what we have with
women's college basketball because you can make more in college basketball,
like Juju Watkins, if she could leave right now at USC,
would she? I think she would stay at USC and
play another year and probably make more money there with NIL.
(13:02):
But with with the you know, men's side of this,
there's no reason to stay unless it's it's a really
big palt And there's how many schools basketball schools are
going to pay big money for NIL. And I saw
where Kentucky's raised four million dollars for NIL. That doesn't
sound like a lot of money. Now, you don't have
(13:24):
that many players. But if I'm trying to get somebody
or keep him from you, what's it going to cost
me two million? Well, there's half your budget right there.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yes, yeah, I wonder if the NIL money in women's
college basketball is you know, I think Katelyn Clark you
have to remove from the YESH conversation because she's a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yes, but I.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Wonder if it's as big as people assume it is.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I don't think it's that big. There's only a couple
of women that might be able to and maybe that's
two or three I don't know what Age or Rescott
at LSU, maybe.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Like five hundred thousand, you know what, I mean, like,
there's certain valuations that you get that probably say, and
I'm five hundred thousand dollars is a hell of a
lot of money. That's awesome, But it's not you know,
millions of dollars that sometimes is thrown around.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Well it's Caitlin Clark and then there's everybody else, right,
I mean, that's just that kind of story. When does
it come along again, somebody who plays that style selling
out buildings all around the country. I mean, Juju Watkins
might turn out to be a better player than Caitlyn Clark.
Is she going to sell out buildings on the road.
(14:38):
Probably not. Caitlyn played at a style that you know,
you hadn't seen before. It was wild. You were seeing
her take logo shots and people came out that fascination,
you know, So can you capitalize on that? How many
women are like that? Now? She's going to spawn a
(14:59):
new generation. It's just like Steph Curry did. But I
don't know how much money is available in Io. I've
never really looked into it. I think Caitlin was sort
of the anomaly that she was going to get a
couple of million dollars. But what she meant to Iowa
she was a bargain and what she meant to the
networks that's where could you see ESPN or Fox saying
(15:20):
to these players, we want you to stay an extra year. Hey,
we're willing to spend money. This about entertainment, right, This
is if I'm ESPN, can we get Caitlin Clark to
stay one more year? What's it worth to ESPN A lot?
Could you see? I know people are going to say, well,
you can't have a network spend that money, Okay, But
(15:43):
the importance of having Caitlin Clark to ESPN and ratings,
talk shows, everything that goes along with that, it's not crazy. Yeah,
Mark and Juju Watkins.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
She already has a commercial with Joel Embiid and so
she's already on her way and she's going to be
there for probably another two, if not three years.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't know how big.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
There could be somebody else who comes along, and that'll
be interesting to see. Do we have somebody who is
going to play like Caitlin Clark or is it going
to be like Juju Watkins. But the talent level has
changed dramatically. It's not these little set shots, you know,
running around Chris bounce pounses and playing Princeton offense. I
(16:28):
mean there are true athletes there and a lot of athletes.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Yeah, Mark, Yeah, Juju shooting off the bounce. Yeah, there's
no set shot. No, it's Carmelo Anthony type offensive arsenal.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Let me get to Kyle and San Antonio. Then we'll
take a break. Hey Kyle, what's on your mind to that?
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Best of the weekend. I managed my son's little league
team to a walk off grounder, bringing in an RBI
to win the game by one run. Worst of the weekend.
I coached my son's basketball team to a two point loss,
and my wife was in labor with our first child
for twenty five hours. I think that you outwardly say,
(17:11):
of course I'm gonna leave. I gotta go see that,
and then you talk to your wife and say you
better not tell anybody but your mom to get you
to the hospital until I win this round, and then
I'll come and see this child because you're got twenty
five hours. You also might want to check with a
mother in law and go how long were you in
labor with your first child? Those are my thoughts.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
All right, Well, thank you, Cole, Congratulations on your baby.
Once again, it's an individual choice. Be very careful when
you ask that question to your wife, just saying, be
very careful, especially when she's in labor. You're trying to
do all the right things, remember the like the cubes
(17:49):
of ice or jello or whatever it is. And then
you'd be, honeywould you You'd be like, how about some
ice chips? Honey, like chips? Out of here? You talked, Yes.
I didn't say a word. No, now I I but
this voice is very soothing. So there you know. I
was providing a bedside man there. Yes, relax, breathe deep,
(18:15):
that's it, honey. Yes, dilated to too, right now, Yeah,
here's the dilated too too.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And now the doctor enters the room.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Ladies and gentlemen, doctor Vaughan. Hey, tod.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
And sometimes the epidural window was gone. And now that's
not even an opera.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That happened or last one. The epidural window closed, and
I had to break the news to my wife. I said, hone,
there's no epidural Are you sure? Yes? I am, yes,
I am. Did you take one? I would have taken one.
I would have taken one for her. I would have said,
you know, Hon, I'm taking the epidural. It's not gonna help,
(19:00):
but I'm willing to take it. All right, let me
take a break and we'll get to more phone calls
coming up, and we're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

A couple of more phone calls coming up on the program.
Let me see Sam and Alaska. Hi, Sam, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Hey? Thanks for taking my call, first time caller, and
and I just wanted to weigh in on the whole
favorite child thing. Guys we're talking about We've got five
adult kids now, so It's been a discussion over the years,
and what I finally decided was, yes, I do have
(20:17):
a favorite, but it's a fluid concept. So it's all
about what have you done for me lately.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay. I don't have a sliding scale with my kids.
I treat them all the same, and I don't have
a favorite. Now there are times when one child might
be my favorite for one thing or another. Maybe they
did something really well, or they got a promotion, or
(20:44):
maybe they did laundry or something. You know, the bar's
not too high. It's just like, yah, maybe contribute a
little bit, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
When your children were younger, did you discipline them all
the same way to try to be fair? And did
they take it different ways?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
You disciplined differently. I think when you start out, you
don't even what you're doing, and then you pick your moments.
I always felt just if I if I spoke in
a like a little bit more reserved tone, oh I
got my message across to my daughters, I'd be like,
I'm I'm really disappointed. Boom, that's all you need, my son.
(21:24):
It didn't matter. It didn't matter. For about three years.
There didn't matter. My wife and I were like, I
don't know, what are you gonna do. She'd be like,
I don't know. I got to the point where and
I think I've told this story. My wife hates when
I tell this story. But my son we had four
(21:44):
kids in a seven year period and my wife is
getting the kid's breakfast they're going to school, and my
son wanted a certain type of egg and he kept saying,
I want this, I want mom, I want this, and
I have, you know, my three daughters. And my wife
finally said, okay, you want your eggs. And she grabbed
the eggs and smashed them off his forehead, three of them. Boom,
(22:09):
boom boom. How old was he again, he was probably
maybe eight seven or eight Boom boom boom, right off
his forehead. That settled that here's your egg. And I'm like, okay,
it's like my mom hit my brother with a pan
(22:29):
because he wanted something when we're growing up. And she
kept the pan. I had a dent in it to
remind us, be careful if you're going to sass back. Now,
you can't do those things now at least it's frowned upon.
But I just remember we'd see that pan and I'd
be like, damn, I don't want to cross mom. Kurt
in Michigan, Hi, Kurt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Dan? Welcome back, welcome back. You have saved three hours
of my day again.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, thank you, Kurt, Hey.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Boy, this is family advice. Now I've got some other
I need some other advice. My nephew has asked me
to the MC at his wedding, and I don't know.
Do I go serious, do I sprinkle in jokes?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Wait, help me out, Kurt. What does MC mean?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well?
Speaker 10 (23:24):
I announced at the reception, okay, okay, yeah, at the reception, sorry, yes, okay,
announcing bridon groom, announcement, whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So okay, but once you announced the wedding party, then
what else do you do?
Speaker 10 (23:42):
Moderate He hasn't told me yet where they have open
mic or not, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't know, Okay, okay, Kurt. I'm not sure of
the setting here, the environment. I would just play it straight,
no inside jokes were somebody's going, what what does he mean?
Or I don't understand that. I would try to do
it in a fun way. You know what. The enthusiasm,
(24:11):
the tone in your voice is what's going to be great,
but I wouldn't try to you know, don't go live
at the improv there. That would be my advice. Yes, seton, Kurt.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Are you a stand up comic or in comedy in
any way in real life?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Marvin just hung up on that.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Then I would say if unless. If the answer to
that is no, then don't make jokes, even if you
are a stand up comedian. Pick your sponts.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Less is always more when it comes to a wedding reception.
By the way, the bride looks beautiful, of course, the
mother of the bride looks beautiful, but.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You can't say you gotta even say it just like
you said, she looks beautiful. You can say, you know,
and Jan over there is holding.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Up, well, yeah, decent. You know I've got together. Yeah,
if I wouldn't, if I wasn't married, I might go
after that. Like you can't do any of those funny
things about the the a formaldehyde drip.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Botox.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, just always be careful of trying to be too
funny because I and you always go too long. If
you give the speech for you best men out there,
cut it in half. Don't do todd okay, don't be fritzy.
Three minutes, Max, tell a really good story, compliment and
then get the hell out. You're not as funny as
(25:26):
you think you are accurate, And the more you drink,
you're less funny accurate. And even though I'm drinking more
while listening to you, having been drinking more, You're still
not funny. Always go split it in half. You can't
go wrong with that. Can't go wrong. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
If during the middle of your speech and your stories
you say the phrase to make a long story short,
that means you failed.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You failed. Yeah, And does anybody really make a long
story short? They go long and then realize they went
too long, and then they stay to make a long
story short. No, you made a long story longer. That's
all you did. Yes, Todd, that's a fact. Thank you.
In and out kept Rob in Orlando, Hi Rob, what's
(26:12):
on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Good morning, guys. Glad to have you back. I got
a best and the worst for you. The best of
the weekend was seeing Alan Iverson get his tiny.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Trophy installed, not at the arena, but appropriately at the
practice facility.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yes, practice and uh.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
The worst of the weekend was Saturday, last Saturday and
office past one in our church Direct League Basketball. I
broke my leg, and as I'm swearing on the floor,
I go into shock, not because of my leg, but
because I realize, Oh crap, I don't have the DP
show next week.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So thanks guys. All right, well got another captive audience here.
Broken leg. Can't go anywhere that that's right in our house. Hey,
you can't get up and change the channel. We're the
show for you. Uh Berry and Santa fe Hi Berry,
(27:09):
welcome back.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Good morning. So it's good morning, chat Bro. I have
a name for that golfer's son.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Okay, Putts putt e u t t s oh putts
puts tefler kind of a negative kind of tent does
because if I called you a Putts. Yeah, yeah, that's
a name, kind of mean.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Yeah, what's like you're a dope or something you said
or did something stupid, you'd be a Putt.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
So puts is it would mean you're a dork? Is
that what it is?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Along those lines.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I'd even go as far as to say that like
being a Putts is kind of being kind of dumb.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And knuckle head. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Ignorant.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Okay, well I can't call you ignorant because you graduated
second in your class of six hundred.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
My wife likes to remind me, this is the high
school I went to. Wasn't that big a deal. They
probably wasn't that many smart kids.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
But still there were six hundred kids. Yes, and you
ended up cheating in high school.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
I checked some chemistry.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Did cheat? You did cheat? You did cheat. When we
were on vacation, uh, it was announced that O. J.
Simpson had passed away. I did not know that he
was battling cancer. And you know, when I think back
on OJA, I have mixed emotions here because I remember
watching vividly in the late sixties when he is running
(28:32):
in the Rose Bowl and I had not seen somebody
run like that. I you know, Gail Sairs was similar,
but I had not seen anybody like that. He just
had this ability to sort of be floating when he
was running and then goes into the NFL Russia's for
two thousand yards and uh, you know it was part
(28:53):
of you know, Juice in the Electric Company in Buffalo,
and then he had commercials. I mean, he was so
well liked by Middle America. Everybody. They loved OJ Run,
OJ Run, And you know, a lot of people don't
remember that person. But I have to factor in everything.
(29:14):
If I'm thinking about him. I've talked about, you know,
my interview that I had with him after you know,
the murder trial, the uncomfortable moments that I had during
that interview with OJ. But when you think of reality TV,
I think reality TV started with OJ Simpson because all
(29:35):
of a sudden, we had a live police chase, a
slow chase in the White Bronco and you're watching this.
So this is during I'm at the NBA Finals, and
I remember we had one monitor with the NBA game
on at the garden and then you had the other
one with OJ. And I'm watching OJ even though I'm
(29:56):
there to cover the NBA Finals. And you know Al Cowllings, uh,
you know, he had played at USC best friends and
he's driving the car and you know, we're wondering, you know,
where's he going and why's he do? You know, what's
if he didn't do it? And you know, so all
of this stuff kind of factors in. But then everybody
(30:17):
sort of became a reality star. I don't remember anything
else in my lifetime where, you know, kato' kalan became
part of the reality star world. All the lawyers there
and Johnny Cochran and Judge Edo, like, they all became
reality stars it And it took over a year for
(30:38):
that trial, I believe, and then everything that happened after
that and what it spawned, and the fact that Kim
Kardashian's dad was on the legal team with OJ, and
then all of a sudden, you see what that led
to with the Kardashians. But I just remember with OJ,
(30:58):
and you know, when he was found guilty or not guilty,
and I was playing golf that day in Hartford with
some of the members of the Hartford Whalers and we
went into the grill room and we watched the verdict
and we were just like, how did that happen? But
(31:19):
it did, but it felt like it was a reality show.
And then years, you know, passed, and OJ was supposedly
looking for the killers while playing golf constantly got put
in prison for what happened in Vegas. When he was
trying to get his memorabilia back, he would have his
(31:39):
Twitter World things that he would say, it's a.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Bad day for people who do impressions of OJ.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I mean, I ran into cato' kalen in Vegas at
Shadow creek. We're playing golf, he's with Norm MacDonald and
like you're just thinking, how did this happen? But it did.
It's I think where reality TV was born, for better
or worse?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, seen, the dude actually had audacity isn't even the
right word. Yeah, But just the fact that he wrote
a book called If I Did It Confessions of the Killer,
a hypothetical like account of how he would have done
it if he had no just a pathetical that is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
He never he never read the room. He was always
the most important person in the room. Imagine you loved
somebody so much that you kill them, like he loved her,
but he killed her because he didn't want anybody else
with her. And whether he acted alone, which I don't
(32:47):
think he did, but still, I remember he tried to
tell me during the interview that you know, he didn't
do it, and I just said I don't want to
hear it, because you know, that's where we had the
awkward moment when we're not on camera and he says
to me, do you think I did it? And then
I said did what? And then he said kill those
(33:10):
two people? And then I said yes, And then we
started up the interview right after that. But yeah, I
gets we tend to see OJ in that light. We
forget what he was before that, And it's not that
we should remember that, but I do. I you know
how big of a star he was just the context
(33:33):
of telling somebody's life story, It's easy to jump to
the very end, but look, I was right there and
appreciating O. J. Simpson the football player. I met him
a couple of times personally outside of that interview that
I did, when he was working for ENDBC. So yeah,
(33:54):
just bizarre. And then who he's calling and he's trying
to get a hold of Bob Costas, who's on the
air at the time with NBC, and who's visiting him
in prison, and just wild, wild, Yeah, Paul, it.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Really does feel like you're speaking about we're speaking about
two different people, because before the day that the killings happened,
he was one of more popular celebrities. Like where he
enjoyed being a celebrity. You see him on TV shows,
He enjoyed, he goes, he was in movies, and I'd
heard from people saying like, if you walk up to
him photograph, he give you the time, he give you
the picture. He was an American celebrity that loved being
(34:29):
it and we liked him. He was in TV shows
and movies and Monday Football. It didn't work out great,
but he was on it because he was such a
likable guy.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, he wasn't a good broadcaster, but he was so
charismatic and you just you look back on that, and
he had everybody fooled because then I started asking questions.
I'm at the NBA Finals. It' said halftime, and I'm
asking somebody who was a friend of OJ. I said,
would you come on camera? And he said no, but
(34:59):
he said he used to beat her all the time.
And I remember hearing that from this person. I was
so disappointed that he didn't And maybe it's not fair,
but in the moment, I'm thinking, why didn't you say
something to somebody? But I mean, it's just all surreal, surreal.
(35:19):
You're in an NBA finals and I'm asking if I
can do interviews with certain people about OJ and everybody
said no. Everybody did last call for phone calls. What
we learned, what's in store tomorrow after this?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Went to Italy on my vacation and I found out
that there are places in Italy that don't serve pasta
at all. I went into a couple of restaurants with
my wife and I just kept thinking, all right, I'm
here for some real thin pizza, and I'm here for
some wine, and I'm here for some pasta. Well I
(36:07):
found the wine, I didn't find the thin pizza. And
found a couple places that didn't have pasta. And I
even said, how do you not have pasta? But I
was in southern Italy and they liked their seafood there,
maybe a little bit more than their pasta. But I
was unpleasantly surprised. I was like what. And then we
(36:31):
did find some places that had wonderful, wonderful pasta.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yes, Paulma, and you've been to Italy a few times,
But have you gone to a city or town in
Italy where YO go?
Speaker 7 (36:39):
You know?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I think I could live here. I think this would
be the one I might move for a couple of
years too. Was there a big town, small town?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
No? I think I'd like to try Lake Cuomo, northern
part of Italy, just to see if maybe that'd be
a place where I could live. Very beautiful, not as warm,
and Clooney is selling his home over there.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
You could buy direct, No, I think it's pretty expensive.
Big difference between northern Italy and southern Italy, Yeah, big difference. Yeah,
climate is different, but the people are wonderful.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I mean they are.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
House football is bigger down south southern Italy.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
About ninety percent speak English, you know, so they understand tourism.
But wonderful people. And I went to a city called Matera,
which they used to have people who lived in caves
for centuries. There they filmed The Passion of the Christ
and maybe a Mission Impossible or James Bond movie there,
(37:42):
like Die Another Day or something like that, but spectacular,
Like you're just going, how did these people do this?
Carving these things out of rocks there?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, the Bond movie No Time to Die
seen that there?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, But it was great. It was a lot of
a lot of walking, a lot of driving, and had fun.
It's always great to go there. Yes, and not a
soul knew who I was, which is even better. You know.
I tried to I tried to get, you know, the
sports center voice, but you know it didn't matter.
Speaker 8 (38:16):
Yes, John, that restaurant couldn't even do linguini and clam sauce.
You just have one pasta dish.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
You still have the seafood involved. What part of no
pasta did you not understand? What the way?
Speaker 8 (38:26):
What did the way or wedges actually say to you?
They just had to wear more into seafood, that was
their response.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
They just said, I mean, it's not the Olive Garden.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
But you asked why there was no apasta. So I
was curious what they were sponsors other than we're all
about seafood or something.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
They just put whatever they put on the menu. I
don't I don't know. I just like, Okay, that's kind
of strange. I thought every place would have pasta, But
once again, it's like Sparrow or Olive Garden.
Speaker 8 (38:49):
But you would think it would be at least one pasta.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Do you would think that? But there weren't. So I
can't speak for the restaurants mixed with you know, I
worked with this Todd and he said, why not have
some seatfood pasta here and some clams.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
That was a mistake on them.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yes, I just watched last night that movie that talented
mister Ripley. Yes, that's all set all throughout Italy. Yes,
and it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Creepy movie, but man is it good.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
And it's a kind of movie that you could just
watch for the scenery and lifestyle alone.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
And they're bringing back it's called Ripley and it's a
six part series. I think that is based off the movie.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
Philip Seymour Hoffman in that movie is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Every movie that he was in it felt like Philip
Seymour Hoffman never cheated you.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
No he was, but he Yes, he was just perfect
in so many roles. But there's this part where he says,
like the Matt Damon's character is like the poser and
he's wearing a corduroy.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Jacket in Italy. This is so man a corter Roy
jacket in Italy. Yeah, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Yeah, what a
what an actor? Yep, he was great.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
One final results of the pole question we got actually
a whole bunch of them. Now we're naming kids, we're
talking about how you treat your kids. We got a million.
If the Scheffler's had a girl the best baby name
is Azalea about sixty percent. The Schefflers have a boy,
Ace right now? Seventy one percent of that vote? All right, Ace,
I like which basketball program improved more, Kentucky or Arkansas?
(40:24):
Arkansas got way better about sixty eight percent? Uh, do
you treat your first child differently than your other children's
sixty percent?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Due rude?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
And if your wife was in labor with your first
child while you were leading your second masters, you would
stay and finish out the master's sixty percent?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
All right? I think these pole questions pretty much sum
up what this show is all about. Variety of topics
thereh yes, corner coopia, Todd, would you learn today.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
We all need to slow down. Be comparing Scotty Schefler's
recent Dominus to Tiger, We likely won't be seeing any
Scottie proofing of a golf.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Course see no connor, would you learn nobody scottieproofing anything?
Marvin fritz to won the bracket challenge? Yay, we had
to score exactly what Bolly? What did you learn there
