You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Radio, and we're back, not exactly better than ever, but
we're back, refreshed, ready to go. Nice vacation, Good to
talk to you again. Best and worst of the weekend.
You can dial us up. Which you saw that you liked,
you didn't like a few of the things that happened
while we were on vacation. We'll bring those back, give
you our thoughts on those.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Coming up.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
The WNBA Draft is tonight. That was quick right after
March Madness, the championship game, and now you roll that
momentum into the draft and you'll probably get a good
number on a night where there's no NBA. NBA play
in starts tomorrow and Wednesday, but you'll be able to
see Caitlin Clark get drafted number one overall by the
Indiana Fever eight seven seven three DP show email address

Mike Turko was on the call for the Masters for
Sirius XM. He'll join us from AUGUSTA. Coming up, Kentucky
introduces their new head coach, Mark Pope, and Arkansas introduced
John Caliparry. A couple of days Ago. I think it's
a win win for both of these schools. I think
it was time for coach cow in Kentucky to part ways.

(01:10):
You bring in a new head coach, or at least
a younger head coach who's had success elsewhere, understands the
landscape there. And that's what's tricky. That job is not
for the faint of heart. It's not for every coach,
and I think that's why you saw some coaches go,
do I really want to get into this situation here?
They love their basketball. It's like SEC football. This is

(01:34):
SEC basketball, but it has an SEC football field to it.
Mark Pope comes in, does he change his recruiting philosophy
from what they've had for over a decade there? I
would suggest he do.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
They've had some talent. They're going to have a couple
of first round draft picks here. Coach cal goes to
Arkansas and he was honest. He said, I went to
meet with my team and I realized there is no team. Well,
he's getting paid a lot going to arkinsall, and the
expectation level will be greatly reduced there. Now. Doesn't mean
that he's going to settle for that, But I think

(02:08):
the fan base will try to meet him halfway to
say hey, we're with you. We've celebrated final four appearances.
Eric Musselman did a wonderful job now at USC but
I thought it was a win win for both of
these programs, all right. Eight seven seven three DP Show

Scotty Scheffler second time in three years, and he's joining

(02:30):
some pretty exclusive company there of young players to win
multiple Green jackets. Jack is the youngest ever at twenty
five years eighty one days that it's Tiger twenty five,
one hundred days, Sevey Biastero's twenty six and two days.
Scotty Scheffler is twenty seven, and he'll be the favorite
at the PGA Championship, followed by Rory and John Rahm.

(02:55):
We keep waiting, We're we were waiting for this on Sunday,
like the head to head show down match up, matching
shot for shot. Now, I'm not going to criticize critique
anything that Scotty Scheffler did because he was wonderful. It's
the other players, and this happened when Tiger was being Tiger.
The number of players that we thought oh, Ernie else,

(03:17):
Phil Nicholson, Oh, here they come. And then they would
just fade, they would fall, they would fall to the wayside.
Tiger would hold serf against everybody and he just continued
to be He poured it on. And that's what Scheffler did,
Like he didn't acknowledge the crowd at all. He just

(03:38):
head down, walking, methodical, got a job to do, and
he's not out there waving, chipping his hat. He got
to eighteen, and you saw that emotion when he finally
had the final putt roll in where it was now.
He did a couple of fist pumps the previous day
with an eagle, and that might have been at thirteen
or fifteen, and that's where you saw some emotion. He

(04:00):
doesn't give you much, but you know what, we're spoiled
because we expect that. We want our stars to be demonstrative,
like they're into it, they care. Scotty, I don't. I
have no idea. He just seems to be like is
ekg is just flat. But I'm sure inside you know
it's churning there. But what we see sometimes we want

(04:24):
more and we'll talk to Mike Cherico about this. You know,
we were looking for comparisons, and I brought up maybe
it's like John Stockton showed up, put on his uniform,
went out, got his fifteen points and twelve assists and
probably ended up with a win. Didn't want any fanfare,
didn't want to be interviewed, didn't care about any of
that stuff. And Scotty Scheffler is like that. I'm sure

(04:46):
Michael have a couple of comparisons there as well, but
Scheffler wins the Master. The PGA Championship is up next.
NBA playoffs almost set. We have the play in games
and that's where it's going to to get interesting here.
NBA hoping that you have Golden State and the Lakers
somehow playing a little bit more. And I think that's

(05:10):
the beauty of the playing game. We may not like it.
I mean, I still think it should be an achievement
to make the playoffs. Now, if you don't make the playoffs,
that's where it's it's more of a surprise when you
don't make the playoffs than when you do. All right,
poll question seating from hour one and what are we
going to go with an hour two? Yeah, we got
two going.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
We have If your wife was in labor with your
first child while you were leading your second masters you
would leave or stay. That's holding steady at about sixty
percent or staying. And then do you treat your first
child differently than your other children? That's also hovering at
right about sixty percent. Yes, yes, they do, Okay, I

(05:52):
wonder if that's consciously or subconsciously treat them differently.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I mean, here's the beauty. This is an anonymous poll,
so you're not admitting it publicly. If I said this,
then I'm admitting it publicly, and then my four kids
would find out. So I just said, of course, you
don't know. You love them all just the same.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
But then when you ask kids like, oh, like the
middle child is always getting screwed over, overlooked because they're
not the oldest, they're not the youngest, they're the middle.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, and I was a middle child.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
There's a lot of dynamics that happened there.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yes, yes, I still hold a grudge. My mom's not
even alive anymore. But that time when she said, and
I said to her, I said, you care about Dave
more than you do anybody else. And she's finally broke
down and she said, well, yes, I do, And I go, Okay,
that's all I ask mom.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
That's a must lie situation.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Just my mom was never a muscly situation. Yes, I
must Yes.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Did you put her in some interrogation room where she
just so free leads? Aside? What you keep asking me
about this?

Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
I liked Dave more than you were there.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
There was a feeling of sixty minutes that I was
Mike Wallace and there was a light ball that was
kind of dangling over her head, and I said.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I didn't matter it is there a good copy?

Speaker 6 (07:12):
You just said?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Just do?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Then?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Hey, just say you love Dave? Say it? Say it?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah? Then she finally did.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (07:19):
Marm At a certain age, parents really don't care. Somebody asked,
my mom asked my grandmother, who's your favorite out of
all of us? She was like, Marvin, what a stupid question?
Why would you ask that? She literally told my mom,
what a stupid question? And Marv's my favorite? Yeah, But
I think it depends on like who you like the most,
love and like I told you, it's two different things.
You might love all your kids the same, but you

(07:39):
know what, I like this kid the most.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, I love Fritzy. I don't always like him. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
See, my grandparents had a Christmas tree and they had
Christmas balls or whatever, and they had each of the
grandkid's names on them, so it'd be like, I don't know, however,
a dozen of us or whatever, and our names would
be all there and that was a ranking.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Of who was where you were on the tree.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Yes, yes, yeah, that's cool for the holidays. You walk
in the house, you know where you stand.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. It was kind of
it was a real tree.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Every We used to do Christmas Eve there every year,
and you'd show up there and you'd be like, oh, dang,
Karen moving up, All right, let's go.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Karen had year. Yeah, yeah, a good year. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
The top one never changed.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
That was actually at some point because we used to
then mess with my grandparents, like we would take my
one cousin was always at the top, and we would
take him and move him down to the bottom and
put our other cousin up at the top. And then
one year we got there and it had been wired
to the top of the tree where you could not
remove this ball anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
It was staying there. Operator Tyler's standing by to take
your phone calls. Each seven seven three DP show best
and Worst of the weekend. We'll give you hours after
Mike Tariko joints. Just good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Up.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Great new T shirts available at dan patrick dot com
T shirts that Marvin's going to be wearing once we
get those here in the building.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Non stop.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeap Yukon, you got the Tucan in there that I
suggested before they won the title. I said, hey, Connecticut
goes back to back, it's two kan and you beat Purdue,
so congratulations there. The philosophy was, Zach Edy can score
as much as he wants. We're not going to let
those guys. You know, they brought in three point shooters.

(09:29):
They needed to improve that, and Yukon played that was
their philosophy. You can get your thirty five forty. We're
going to make sure you're not beating us from the perimeter. Yes, Ton,
Did we ever get a chance to.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Talk about the bracket challenge who one day? Because I
wasn't sure how that played out, so we were away
for the whole It's kind of went by the wayside.
We couldn't recap the.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Title game, right Who Won.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
I think I may have beaten Jimbaya.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Wait, not only that.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
And I know I texted all of you about it,
but it was seventy five to sixty was the final score,
and I had seventy five sixty eight. Now, I was
very excited to share that with you guys that I
got u Kind's exact score right now. It was only
eight points off Purdue. So yeah, I think I pulled
that one out over bab you did, I think I did.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Okay, I had Purdue over Ukon and I have been
around congratulates. No, that's awesome, that's awesome. Congratulations. How to
initiate that very very proud of.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
You that always does well? Yeah, and he's always like
top five.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well, it takes no chances.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
But other than maybe one eleven over a six or
twelve or f everything else is ones, twos two.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
That's okay. That's your philosophy. That's who you are, that's
your person. How you fill out your bracket is who
you are.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
I had Kentucky and Arizona, I think in the final fourth,
and that didn't work out too well. All I've been
going pretty far.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, but congratulations, Yeah, revisit all your missus Todd, congratulations
and Marvin as well. You didn't make the parade.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
I did not know.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, you were invited by Coach Hurley.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
I was.

Speaker 9 (10:59):
But the silver lining is my mom took my spot.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Your mom went to the parade.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
She did. Yeah. I was like that, you know what,
you take my spot? She took.

Speaker 9 (11:06):
She took me to my first UKON game in nineteen
ninety eight. So it's like a full circle moment. Wash
the lady that pushed me out, thank you, you can go.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, the lady who pushed me out A yeah, sounds
like the title of a country song. Yeah, she was
a lady. No no, no. By the way, one dining moment.
A lot of reaction to that Todd one dining moment, and.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
The kid.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Was, now, it's bad. It's bad, made your earworm for everybody.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
But we gave it a shot.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
You know, I was creative. You guys title like.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh, Jay Gilgess, Alexander and Chad Hombren like are they
bad on purpose? And that that commercial commercial, yes, like
are they bad? Like Todd wasn't trying to be bad
with one dining moment. That commercial was not good at all.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
And it's not supposed to be bad. It's kind of
supposed to be fun funny, And.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
You know, I said, Oklahoma City was my surprise team
this year, just like Cleveland was last year. So I
am a Thunder fan. But I don't like that commercial.
It's not good. No, no, this is the one dining moment?
Oh god, okay, how about this start?

Speaker 7 (12:33):
I don't understand why I came out like that, and
no one in the back say.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
You know why, why don't we take two on? Really?
Do you think they love? Though they did say to you, hey,
do you want to do it again? And you go no, No.

Speaker 7 (12:42):
I don't think it was because of the first line.
And I screwed up the end punt because I then
I said shining moment instead of dining member. At that beginning, though,
someone should have said, wait, wait, you know what from.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
The top, hud, you were still singing and the music
was done At the very.

Speaker 7 (12:56):
End, I was going by how many of the lyrics
that I wrote, and I was going to keep stinging
beyond the music if I wanted to get those last
lines and.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
The little like vibrato in his voice too, isn't just
the food.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Didn't sound like my ear when I first one dining moment.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
This fella keeps getting on that bike though. Man, I
give him a lot of credit, he todd, Yeah, give
you a lot of credit.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
I thought it was great, there was it, Paul. You
guys came up with that title. I'm like, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Let's make a.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Song out of there. Jerry and Texas. Hi, Jerry, what's
on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah? The Perdue Yukon games. The clearly Yukon was a
better team, but that doesn't explain why Berdue lost as
badly as they did. They failed the basic fundamental principles
of basketball. You pass the ball out of the double
team and hits the open man. I don't know what
Eddie shot against the double team, something like zero to

(13:48):
twenty percent. The open man's got to hit a better
shot than that.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, I thought Yukon did a good job on the perimeter.
They were not going to let them make threes, and
they let Zach Edie you know, sing will coverage and
he put up with thirty seven points.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, you kind was six of twenty two
from three, which isn't a great percentage. But Purdue hit
won three the entire game. You should do the math
of that you can't win.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
And they were bolstering that lineup to be better at
the three point shot this year, and they had been
Baker and Bozeman, Hey, Bake, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (14:24):
Wanting Danny great to have you guys back. The worst
of the weekend, I'm gonna give it to a friend
of the show, Rory McElroy. I mean, I would love
to see him, you know, complete his career Grand Slam,
but August the National seems to be his kryptonite for
whatever reason. But best of the weekend was the surprise,
awesome cameo from Caitlin Clark on Saturday Night, Saturday Night Night,

(14:45):
Saturday Night Lives Weekend Up Date.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, I thought it was fun. Now like once you know,
cross over into that world, it's like when Travis Kelcey
hosted Saturday Night Live, when Barkley did, when Peyton Manning did,
Like then, it's different. And Caitlyn Clark on Weekend Update
and she was there and they set her up with
some good lines and I thought it was a nice

(15:08):
cameo there. But that's different. That's when you go from
our little sports world into mainstream and then all of
a sudden, that gets downloaded. Now that goes viral, and
that's exactly what happened with Caitlin. And they're riding this
momentum and Indiana is going to be playing a lot

(15:29):
of games. Caitlin Clark has a month to get ready
for the upcoming WNBA season, and the Mothership is going
to get as many games as possible. She's going to
be playing constantly. Yes, Paul, the Indiana Fever. The WNBA team,
she's going to had one nationally televised game last year,
right now, they're scheduled to have twenty nine nationally televised games.

(15:52):
All Right, we'll take a break. Mike Tarico joins from
joint Is from Augusta. We'll talk about the Tiger situation.
Scotty Scheffler does get put into that elite group, exclusive group,
and will we ever get to the point where we're going, Hey,
you got Scheffler or the field? Mike Trico joins us
next year Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 10 (16:30):
All happening in only one place. This League Uncut, the
new NBA podcast with Me.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Chris Haynes and me. Mark Stein join.

Speaker 10 (16:40):
Us as we team up to expound on everything we're covering.
Hearing and Chason.

your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Mike Trico, he's going to be hosting the Olympics in
Paris coming up later on this summer. He was is
he this weekend as he was doing master's duty for
Serious XM and he joins us on the program. Why
do you think the ratings were up for the Masters
this year?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Getting the live guys and the tour guys back. It
felt like it was the first big, big event of
the year. The players was a great event. But you
have something missing, and I think sooner or sooner then later.
Excuse me, They're going to need to get both sides
back together. This sport is not big enough to split
the pot. What did you think was going to happen?

(17:33):
Let's go back to Thursday or Wednesday, in golf. So
Bradle shan't believe who I know you've had on. Bradle
says outrageous headline grabbing things that don't often get said
in the very nice world of golf commentary. And he
said Scotty should win by seven or eight shots, and
if he's got his best game, the Brandle like easy man.

(17:55):
But Scotty didn't have his best and he won by four.
I got to do the Bayhill Arnold Palmer tournament and
the players and see Scotty win both of those and
watch most of Houston where he missed a putt on
eighteen to get in the playoff. So he's first, first, second,
and it's real, like his ball striking dand is so good,

(18:16):
his scrambling is so good, and the one thing that
was weak is putting. He got figured out. So I
think we all expected Scotty to be the guy right
near the top of the board. But I was still
impressed with his dominance this week and his ability to
win by that many, especially the way he played. You look,
he played on the second nine like he's the number
one guy in the world.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
We always want to fast track somebody to greatness and
put him in categories. Now you're hey, you're the next Jack,
You're the next Tiger. You know, Scotty's twenty seven and
there's nothing dynamic about him. You could say he's the
golf equivalent to John Stockton. He just kind of shows up,
does his job, doesn't care about really anything else, cares
about his faith and his family. But are we ready

(18:59):
to fast track, you know Scotty?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah? Yeah, two Masters in three years. So the one
thing you're going to want to see is Scotty win
outside of his stretch of the year. All of his
wins have come from January to April. Now we're really nitpicking, right,
but that would be the next step. Win a US Open.
He can contend in all of these tournaments. He can
contend in Louisville at the PGA being played at Valhalla

(19:24):
the week after the Derby, So he's got all of that.
I did the radio broadcast on Serious Exam and worked
with Taylor's arsers. Terrific guy and does a great job
covering golf for them and does college football and other stuff.
I thought Taylor brought up a good one. Pete Sampras
or NASCAR Jimmy Johnson. I thought those were really good,
like defined excellence in many ways when you look at

(19:48):
the record, stretches of dominance, but very low key. This
is who I am. I'm not gonna go seek every
endorsement under the sun. Success will not change me. I'm
just gonna be this guy. Scotty's fun. Scotty's a nice
guy to be around, a great humor, a great family,
obviously deep in faith. Uh, but he's not going to

(20:09):
be seeking the wow stuff that you get even with
a Bryson de Shamble. So I thought all those Stockton
for you as well. Those are really acting good comparisons.
That doesn't mean he's not great. It just means he's
not Madison Avenue million dollars every time he turns around.
And that's fine.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
And it's kind of like Andrew Luck as well, Like yeah,
he Luck, he didn't want endorsements, didn't really care, walked
away from the game, and you know, never really return.
We're talking to Mike Tarico joining us in Augusta before
he goes to Paris to get ready to host the
Summer Games, Summer Olympics. Are you ready for that?

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm not staying the entire so you're not okay? No, no, okay,
back on Friday. Actually back in a couple of days. Okay,
it's a hundred it's one hundred days out, so we
kind of light the candle to get everybody ready. Today's
show is going to have a bunch of the Team
US athletes on the plaza with Savannah, Joda, Al Craig

(21:04):
and the whole crew. I'll be in Paris, so it
just kind of gets us, gets us going. I'll do
a few things over there too, in advance of going
back what twelve weeks later for the Games.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I loved to Shambo in the villain role. I don't
know if he embraces the villain role, but he's good content.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
He wears some of that black hat, there's no doubt
about it. Contents the perfect word. You know. Every sport
has its little social media following and group of commentators,
and I thought the ones under Shambo were dead on
when they said he's the best content provider where it's
the drives or carrying the signe pole like he did. Hey,
this is a temporary, movable, immovable object. I'm gonna move it.

(21:46):
He just kind of carries it and moves it around.
I yeah, there's a little bit of villain quote unquote.
I think anybody who went to live who's going to
come back is going to be If that happens, there's
gonna be a little bit of that role at varying
degrees and level. I think Deshambo is interesting and unique.
I think he's one of the most unique guys, certainly
in golf and maybe in all of sport. He does

(22:08):
things so different Dan he was using a pair a
set of ions that cost ten thousand dollars to produce.
One of a kind three D printer made the ions.
They weren't conforming, didn't fit the rules of the USGA
officially until Monday, they had to be tested. So he
does things to push the edges. Sport needs that. Every

(22:30):
sport does this one especially. I hope he's back playing
with these guys soon because I think he's talented, he's
very different, and he's very good.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
The Tiger situation, he makes the cut again, but certainly
stumbled towards the finish line. Finishing last I kept looking
to see was he injured, was he limping? And I
think he was honest afterwards, just said, look, I didn't
play well. What did you take from Tiger's performance or
lack thereof.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
He's going to be impacted by his injuries for the
rest of his career. He's got fused back and a
fused ankle. R it's kind of limiting in the world
of golf. I think it's remarkable at forty eight, when
he doesn't need another dollar to do this, he continues
to want to try to compete as much as possible.
I think Friday having to play twenty three holes because
we didn't get done on Thursday probably set him back.

(23:20):
Was an early turnaround. It takes hours for him just
to be ready to go play because of all he
has to do is get his body to that point.
But it's the first time in a regular event he's
completed seventy two holes in over a year, So I
think that's a box to check in a positive says
he wants to play in the other majors. We'll see
if he does, but the fact that he's even talking

(23:42):
about being able to do it is good. The two
things I saw yesterday that were to me the coolest
because the gustays you know, you've been here so many times,
it gives you the great fields and it's really cool stuff.
One was Tiger, who is known for being laser laser focused,
stopping its sixteen to walk over and say hi to
Verne lung push when Verne was watching from down behind

(24:04):
a tree there, and it's just an ultimate sign of
respect that that was so cool that Tiger did that.
And seeing Tiger's kid the tournament practice area with him,
like holding away holding the shaft of a driver to
have your hands fly under it. It's a drill that
guys do often. This is really cool to see because
we both have been here, Dan seeing Tiger's dad with

(24:26):
Tiger and I were seeing Tiger with his son and
Charlie's like talking to swing stuff with him. It's just
for one of the biggest athletes we'll see come across
in our lifetime. To see this evolution and generational pass along,
it was so cool. I'll take that with me for
a long time.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Do you think Tiger's afraid of retirement?

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, a little bit. I mean, what do they tell
everybody do it until they tell you you can't anymore,
or you can't anymore if you really love it, And
he is obsessed with the sport, afraid of it in
some ways. But I think as long as he can
get himself out there and do it.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Look, Jack, did, what do you do when you retire
from golf? Do you play golf?

Speaker 3 (25:11):
You play golf, You talk about golf, You design golf courses. Right,
you put out a line of golf clothes and shoots.
And Jack still out here talking golf and being a
part of it. He visited with us this week. Tom
Watson is Gary player is running around telling people you.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Need to do more.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Sit up. He need to get better, champion, and he's
in his late eighties and he's like hitting t shots
and throwing that leg up in the air with that kick.
So yeah, it's a forever sport and I think the
association with it fuels and drives a lot of these guys.
Other guys have other hobbies. I don't think Tiger has
as many other hobbies as these guys do, like fishing

(25:47):
or other stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
All right, can we get a little bit of your
master's voice before we say goodbye.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
So this is interesting doing the radio as I have
a serious XM for the last I guess for in
the last five years. You have a commentary position that
is right by the eighteenth green, I mean from you
to the dan Etes to the eighteenth green that far away.
So when you go out there, and I only go
out there for the last four holes, you do have

(26:15):
to speak softly. So as Schefler is about twenty yards
from me getting over the putt, you have to do
the Scottie Scheffler shuffles his feet, pulls the putter back
and in, and then you've got to go match the
ground and you feel like a complete idiot. But that's
that's why for years golf announcers whispered because the towers
were right over the greens and guys would look up

(26:36):
and go, hey, I'm trying to work down here. What
are you doing right? So we don't have many towers
that we do that anymore. They're all in closed booths.
But that's the one situation that you've got to go.
This is from Bertie and the Masters. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Have you been shushed before?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I have not, and I haven't done this very much
in terms of being that close. But I am. I
am shushless. Ve Augusta for the third consecutive masters of
four of the last five sands.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
What an incredible streak you're on. Mike, Congratulations, Hey you're
brutal safe travels to Paris. Good to talk to you.
Thanks for making time.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh all the time. Talk to you over somebud, Be safe.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Mike jur Rika, he was on the call for Serious
XM at the Master, so he came up with Pete
Sampress and Jimmy Johnson from NASCAR. Oh, Sampress is a
good call, very good call, Scottie Scheffler. That's the comparison
we talked about John Stockton, but Stockton didn't win championships.
You know, Pete Sampress, I remember a long time ago.

(27:39):
I spent a lot of time with Sampress, but I
think he always thought that people wanted him to be
more than what he was. He played exciting, he wasn't exciting,
whereas Agasy wasn't as decorated, but it was, you know,
having style over substance. I remember when Agassy did his
camera commercial, I think, and he had his long hair.

(28:01):
But you know, what we want out of our athletes definitely.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
Is a normal guy. He's just a normal person. But
then you know a couple of years ago and brooks
Keepko is really hot and winning majors. He was starting
to lean into the media and lean into being a.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
His his girlfriend at the time would take provocative pictures
and so there was like internet chatter about that.

Speaker 6 (28:20):
But he was embracing the star role like Dustin Johnson
when he was a hot golfer. He had a star
power around him with his girlfriend Paulina Gretzky, but he
never lean into the interview part of it.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I think he was good. I don't think he's a
good interview Kopka turned out to be surprisingly good, like
he when he wanted to. He was good. But Dustin Johnson,
I mean, certain guys just aren't interested in it, or
they don't they're not comfortable saying things, or they're worried
about what they say gets you know, somebody translates that

(28:52):
ooh speaking of witch sho hey o Tani. I think
baseball's talking to him today, and it feels like they're
going to move on from that story, that they've heard
everything they needed to hear, and that they're going to
move on. Although looking at the transcripts of his interpreter,

(29:12):
and he would lose these bets. I don't know how
much money, but it felt like these were big numbers
that he was losing, and then he would say to
the bookie, Oh gosh, I have the worst luck. Hey
can I get another bump? Can I make another bet?
And then he would lose, and then he would say
to the bookie, hey, this is it. This is the

(29:33):
last time. Can I get another bump? And then he
would lose that one as well, and then I think
he loaded up again for one more. Now the bookie
only wants to know if you can pay, that's it.
They want to know do you have backing? You're going
to place these bets? So at what point did the
interpreter say, because his salary I don't know what it was,

(29:57):
that let's say one hundred grand, they're not covering millions
and millions of dollars. At some point, don't you have
to say to the bookie, hey, I'm Sho heeo Tani's interpreter,
I have money, because I would not let you have
another bump if if I'm a bookie, like somebody has

(30:18):
to co sign, whether they literally co sign or you're
co signing for them, which is what appears to have happened. Yes,
poem so Ipe Mizihara. The report of the charges against
him came out. So these are facts, These aren't speculative.
He's accused of stealing more than sixteen million dollars from
Sho Heo Tony. That's step one. In twenty six months

(30:38):
December twenty one to January twenty four, Misihara made nineteen
thousand sports bets. Not one of them was baseball related.
Just to put that at bed, he won one hundred
and forty two million dollars as a gambler. Unfortunately, he
lost one hundred and eighty two million dollars, so his
total net losses were forty million, six hundred thousand. He's
only accused of stealing sixteen million from a time, so

(31:00):
there's still the question to where the other you know,
more than twenty million dollars is had come from.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Yeah, so that's where we are.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Well, when we first started this and then we had
a gambling expert on who said that he probably bet
eighty million dollars. Now he ended up losing this amount
of money. But when we had somebody on from ESPN
and he said he probably bet upwards of eighty million dollars,
now we realize it was far more than that. But

(31:29):
to be able to do that you have to as
a bookie. That bookie wants to know, can you pay this?
They don't go, hey, man, that's tough loss. Don't worry
about the five hundred grand that you owe me. That
that's all Bookie wants to know. But that desperation that
he had is relatable. Now, if I'm betting a thousand

(31:51):
and I don't have a thousand, you know that desperation
sets in. He may be betting one hundred thousand, but
that desperate sets in. Now you're going to bet again,
and now you're going to bet again. That's that's what
happens in this world. Hey, it's just for entertainment. It's
just for fun until it's not. Now, all of a sudden,
you're chasing. And when you chase gambling, when you're betting,

(32:15):
you never catch up. It'll always sting you at some point.
That's what happened to him. Yeah, boom.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
People are having a hard time believing Shoho Tani did
not know sixteen million dollars have been stolen from him,
according to those ESPN reports. Remember when they were in Korea,
the exation was showing Hey, Shohey was like, I'm just
learning about this now. He wasn't worth one hundred million
dollars a year ago, oh Tani. Yes, he just started
getting paid twenty twenty three thirty million dollars in his
career on the field. He had made about fourteen million

(32:45):
bucks before twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
If that's look, do I have questions?

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Do I think this interpreter was desperate?

Speaker 6 (32:53):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Was he signing for co signing for Otani? Perhaps that's
a lot of money to go missing, and nobody else
has any kind of idea. There's no flags that go
up anything with the bank. I don't know that. That's
where it's still puzzling here.

Speaker 7 (33:13):
Yes, Tom, and that eBay text to the Bookie, I
guess Matthew Boyer stood out for me. Technically I did
steal from him. It's all over for me, is what
Eba put in the.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Text Yah to the book? Yeah, yeah, now you do
a plea deal. I don't know. You know, they serve
jail time. Is he going to be able to make?
Is there a restitution here? Like? I don't know what
else is next here, but I think Baseball said that
they were going to put this to bed. I think
later today, all right, we'll take a break. More phone
calls will give you our best and worst of the

(33:42):
weekend after this.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live best and worst of the weekend. What we
saw that we liked, didn't like? Got a new pole
question and uh, Paul, you want to do the honors

(34:05):
with the uh second hour pole question?

Speaker 6 (34:07):
Yeah, So Scotti Scheffler and his wife are going to
have a baby soon, and I was thinking he won
the Masters. If you're going to do a golf related
name for the baby, some people like to do that.
I'm gonna put them out to you and you guys
choose which is best. So, if the Schefflers have a
baby boy, the baby name could be Bunker, duff Ace.

(34:27):
That's a good one. Major, He's got a couple, right, Mulligan,
he sounds like I think he's Irish or Slice Slice
Scheffler is fun. It's not a positive thing. Which is
your favorite of those?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I kind of like Bunk, Bunker, like Bunker or Ace.
All right, Now, if it's a.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
Girl, the girl I got Azalea. That makes a lot.
His two time winner, Bertie Oh, Bertie Scheffler.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Okay, I like that one.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
It's fun so it's cute, it's funky. Yeah, dimples reaching here,
dimples dimple Scheffler.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
And then Sandy. I don't know how use sand trapped
Sandy Sandy.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
Do you guys do that when you're thinking of names
and you immediately like, okay, well what are the negatives? Yes,
immediately think they're like okay, so what are the things
I'm gonna get sick of hearing?

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (35:23):
Yes, So if he goes dimple Scheffler, how long is
that funny? How long is that fun.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
What if she doesn't have dimples?

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I like Azalea.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
Zalea, Yeah, two time champion. Yeah, the golf balls like
little dimples, doesn't it? So you can kind of you
guys all like Birdie.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
That's that's where it comes from.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
Yeah, that's what I didn't make it. But she doesn't
have to have dimples. It still still works because it's golf.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Are you just understanding why we would call her dimples? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (35:51):
But I wouldn't worry about whether she actually has dimples
or not.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
That wouldn't make.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
The name a right bunker to the archie or crunk
bunk kind of has a negative connotation to it, then
it's gonna be oh the wire.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
No, I don't think anybody would make that correlation. I
think it would be like bunk Ace Ace is good,
Ace Scheffler, And what's the other one with for the
girl that I liked Azalea?

Speaker 6 (36:15):
Bertie dimples or Sandy.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Bertie's a great? Bertie's good?

Speaker 6 (36:19):
Would it be a nickname or the actual name?

Speaker 7 (36:24):
That's like an old lady name to me, someone's like
retired in ninety is like a grandma.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
You're cold, bert You're still trying to understand dimple? Shut up,
just figuring it out.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
Shut up?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Because it's like slice like ill like it?

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Like pizza?

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Oh yeah, because he likes pizza. Mulligan Scheffler is funny.
Mully Yeah, Mulligan all right? Best and worst of the weekend, Todd?
What what stood out?

Speaker 7 (36:45):
Although the war is lost to the Pelicans Friday Night
one fourteen, but a night I'm gonna give the best
of the week get.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
To Draymond Green.

Speaker 7 (36:51):
First player at NBA history registered double double without shooting
the ball even once. Twelve boards, eleven assists, stealing a block,
didn't attempt a field goal or free throw during thirty
five minutes fifty seven seconds on the court.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
That was fascinating. Okay, worst from the.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
Phoenix Coyotes to the Arizona Coyotes to moving their home
games to Arizona State.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
The NHL team was informed Friday that.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
They're now moving to Utah next season, sharing an arena
in Salt Lake City with the Jazz.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
So there's that good. I hope Salt Lake embraces them.
And I always felt bad. It felt like Arizona didn't
want the Coyotes, but they got the Coyotes, and damn it,
you're gonna like the Coyotes and then we're gonna find
a home for them. I hope the opportunity is there
with Salt Lake City and they embrace them. See no
counter best and worst.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
My best of the weekend, Dan, I just want to
update you on this story because I know you love love.
But Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift are still together, very much,
still together Coachella this week and all over each other.
Hello if you know what I mean. So that's nice.
That's my best of the weekend. Oh worst of the
weekend is CBS did a Billy Joel like tribute concert.

(37:55):
They aired it live, and I think it's to celebrate
like this one hundredth sold out show at Madison Square Garden.
And they cut away from the concert to go to
the local news during piano Man, Oh.

Speaker 10 (38:06):
What are you doing?

Speaker 5 (38:07):
That's like, of all, that is the Billy Joel song
that you can't cut away from. But the local news
was coming up and they're like, all right, stay tuned
for your trafficking weather together. Yeah, they had to cut
away to the local news during piano Man. People apparently
they're not in the mood for a melody.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Not in for a melody.

Speaker 9 (38:30):
Marvin Best words of the weekend are we got best
Andrew McCutcheon from the Pirates.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
He had his three hundred career home run. I didn't
even know her.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Hall of very good. Yeah, yeah, at least hall of good.

Speaker 9 (38:44):
Okay, got an MVP award, Yeah all right, yeah, other best.
Jalen Brunson scored forty points last night for the Knicks.
The Knicks clinched the two s. Lucky for them. They
faced the sixers of the Heat in the first round.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah, and the Heat are undermanned. You know, they got
got some injuries there, all right, PAULI Best and Worse
for the week.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
The best of the weekend. Weirdly, I'm going to go
John Calipari to Arkansas. He or they solved a very
awkward situation, and it seems like it's one of those
awkward exits that everyone wins. Calipari gets a new gig
in the sec he does. I guess Air quotes the
right thing because it feels like they might have wanted
to fire him, but he's too expensive to fire.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
Kentucky gets a new coach that's a local or as
far as a hometown guy, Mark Pope. They made a
very awkward situation better.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, I think I think it was a win win
from both.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
The other best of the weekend. I'm going to stay
with the Salt Lake City getting a hockey team. Now,
some of the names being thrown around. I preface this
by saying, the last time Salt Lake City got a team,
they kept the name the Utah Jazz. Even though I'm
not an expert on Salt Lake City doesn't seem like
a jazz hotbed.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
You tell me, Dan, I might have seen jazz. It
feels like Stu Lance told me about a place in
Utah that had Jazz because I joked about it, so.

Speaker 6 (39:58):
I read back the Utah Jazz. They were thinking about
changing the name to something else. Obviously when they got
to Salt Lake City, the owners didn't like any suggestions
and said, we're sticking with the Jazz. They never change it,
So you're not going to keep coyotes like the Salt
Lake Coyotes. It's a damage brand. It's like, okay, here's
some of the names being thrown out. The Salt Lake Yetti.

(40:20):
This is serious. I'm looking at chasm like a cooler. Yeah, well,
like the Yeti the monster in this.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Oh, I know that what you're talking about, The cooler,
the Yeti and they would play in the Cooler. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Some people like the Utah Blizzard, the Blizz Yeah, those
are some lo ones being thrown out there.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
All right, Final hour on the way, more exciting conversation
