Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan
Nets Dan Patrick Show. We got basketball tonight, Mavericks, Timberwolves,
MAVs are getting five Panthers at the Rangers. That series
tied to two games apiece. So's the Oilers and the Stars.
Oilers beat Dallas last night. That series tied to two
games apiece. All right, we'll get phone calls coming up
(00:27):
each seven to seven three DP show email address DP
Atdanpatrick dot com Twitter handle is that DP show SA.
Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you, and
our radio affiliates we say good morning to them. iHeartRadio.
Fox Sports Radio. Stat of the Day is always brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the program. Adam Lefko, host for NBA on TNT, will
(00:48):
join us coming up. I know that the analyst on
inside the NBA on TNT are not allowed to be
talking to the media. This probably is a fallout from
when Charles Barklay joined us a couple of weeks ago,
and I think pr from what I'm told, said, guys,
(01:08):
let's just not talk about this. But the longer this
goes when Charles was on with us, he thought it
was going to be happening like that afternoon that day.
That was three weeks ago, and then he came on again.
He still didn't know what was going to happen with
Inside the NBA. Did The Inside the NBA is not
going to die. It may just move. Because if you're
(01:30):
the NBA and you're the commissioner, you want that show
to continue wherever it's going to be. You could still
have that same show, but you could put it on
another network. If I'm a network executive and i could
bring that show in knowing that I'm going to get
that build in audience that's going to watch and that
is a wonderful pre half and post show and see
(01:52):
you've already got that figured out. Now all you got
to do is, you know, get your announcers for the games.
But I think with the NBA on TNT, it's is
it going to continue to live there? It feels like
the longer this goes on, is the NBA trying to
carve out something for TNT and is that enough for
the other partners? Because if I'm NBC and I just
(02:13):
spent two point five billion dollars. I don't want to
be sharing some of these games with TNT if they're
not paying what we're paying. And I think they ask TNT,
you have to go up to two point eight billion dollars.
Because NBC has a lot of different networks, they have
a you know, a wider expanse with their audience to
(02:33):
be able to, you know, get more people watching the
NBA than TNT does, although they do have True TV.
But you know, it feels like that's what's you know,
that inside basketball, they're inside basketball negotiations, that's what's going on.
So I don't know if Lefgo is allowed to talk
about this, but we do have him coming on, and
I have to ask him, being the journalist that I am,
(02:54):
he'll join us. Coming up a little bit here.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, Paul, I've found stories from May third. This isn't
expected today, TNT, NBC, NBA rights. That's from May third.
I got a two articles from a week ago. Today.
They're at the goal line NBC and the NBA. But
nothing's happening, nothing's beneficial, no announcements.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
But I think I think NBC is getting the NBA,
Amazon's getting the NBA, ESPN, ABC, will continue with the NBA.
The question is do you carve out something for TNT
and if you do is it's solely based on that
halftime pregame postgame show eight seven seven three DP show.
We spent a little bit of time first hour. We
(03:36):
were talking about ninety nine days until the opening night
of the NFL and some of the storylines and also
the contracts that are there, you know, to it to
me is an interesting one. Do I want to pay
him top dollar? I don't. I would want him to
play another year. I want to. I want to see
can he do it again? You just added Odell Beckham junior.
(03:56):
You have a really good wide receiving corps. You have
a brilliant offensive mind as your head coach. I'd like
to see it one more year. And I know players
feel like that's a slap in the face when you
have your contract. I don't have to. I know that.
You know we've torn up contracts before. But is Josh
Allen different than Tua? Yeah? Is Joe Burrow different? Yeah?
(04:19):
You could even say Justin Herbert Yeah, so uh oh,
this is just in from Adam Schefter with the Miami Dolphins,
Jalen Wattle and the Dolphins just reached a contract agreement
three years eighty four point seven five million dollars included
(04:40):
a seventy six million dollar guarantee. So he is one
of the league's top five highest paid wide receivers. They
got a lot of money spent there, a lot of
money tied up in their receivers there. Yes, Paul, what.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
An interesting career for Waddle. Remember when he was the
star at Bama. Breaks his ankle, smith takes over, gets
a heisman, gets drafted high Wattle even on a broken ankle,
got drafted high in Yeah, it turns out he's awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
He got paid all right. So that so according to
Adam Schefter, Yes, Tod, that's a wattle money.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Uh no, my speech impediments. Have a little fun with that.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, a wattle money. You don't have a speech impediment.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Just talk too fast or much the livra in my
mouth and something.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, you don't have the speech impediment and not that we
would focus on that if you know, he would die.
Uh Pole. Question for hour two is gonna be what
Seaton O'Connor. We got a bunch of.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Them going right now, Dan, we have a better job
and professional sports head coach of general manager. Right now,
ninety percent say general manager Lebron James is most involved
in getting JJ Reddick the Laker job or son getting drafted.
Eighty five percent say his son getting drafted. And then
we also have MAVs Timberwolves. Is dot dot dot over
(05:58):
or interesting? Sixty four percent of the audience say it
is over.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Oh okay, I'm in the minority of this. I think
it's interesting and after tonight really interesting. Minnesota's proven that
they can win on the road. They did that to Denver,
thedn't they beat Denver three times in Denver there they
can do that. But you know, everything's got to go right.
(06:26):
They have to play a solid, great game. Anthony Edwards
has to give you a great night, Karl. Anthony Towns
has to be consistent, and then they have to play
defense and keep Dallas out of the paint. Okay, if
you do check check check. Okay. Now you just hope
that Luca doesn't go off and or Kyrie goes off,
(06:48):
because if that happens now all of a sudden, your
game plan may change.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Yes, Marv, if you're Chris Finch, do you tell kat A,
let's not shoot nine three pointers, Let's shoot four and
go inside and pretend like we're seven feet tall.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, that's what I said he should do last game,
which he did. He started out, he went inside, got
a couple of hoops, go to the free throw line.
Then all of a sudden they have to at least
respect you that you're going inside. He had a couple
of threes there, but you know, he's a rhythm shooter,
the volume shooter. When it comes to threes. I just
want to make sure he gets in the flow of
the game. That's all. Just just get in there, get
(07:23):
some points there. We're playing at home, the crowd's on
your side, yes, Ton, So that s game could be
both of those things. It could be interesting all the
way through.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I know we're talking about after the Timberleves would possibly win,
but I could see it getting down to the wire
and then they will ultimately lose.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No now is that this has to be the end result?
Is interesting or over Like, we're not doing it with
the game. I'm doing it with the series. Why are
you such a contrarian today?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I think the Timberwolves will have like a five to
six point lead late in the fourth quarter and also
will win okay, and this way it'll be interesting on
over at the same time.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, Yeah, get to your phone calls coming up. Uh,
got our poll questions. We'll stay with those for a
little bit here. And Barry and Santa fe Hi, Barry,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Good morning fellows, Good morning chat Roe. I think it's
snuck by you yesterday that after Marvin guests correctly Chris
hayneses age, Chris called Marvin Marlin, which, of course by
my age, guy, my age. I went back to the
videotape and I did check it. The name Marlin to
(08:35):
a guy my age. I think of the Jackson five.
So if you guys with the Jackson five with Marvin
as Marlin Dan, of course that Nacy Michael. Can I
get a thank you? Paully is steady, older brother Jermaine
(08:57):
Seaton is Randy, which isis leave Todd as the one
and only LaToya?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh no, no, LaToya, Thank you.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Erry.
Speaker 2 (09:11):

would be Tito.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
I guess I could live with them.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, okay, you just want to be in the Jacksonville
on the stage. That's yeah, that's it. I'm on the stage.
That's all you want to do. I didn't know Chris
Aanes called you Marlin dancing with a bass guitar and
a hand, not even playing the bass, but just having
it in your hands.

in my heart. So I wanted to reach out and

the greatest tequilas in the world. I'm going to send

Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's a bottle of tequila at F one event, it
probably costs nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, I know bottle service. I went into a club
one time, but I went in with a couple of
former athletes and they were saying, you know, do you
want to get bottle service? And I said I can.
I can drink draft and they go what I said, No,
I can drink draft. I don't have to have bottle
and they go that's funny. And I go, oh, what
(10:52):
are you talking about? And they're like, you know, we
were going to get some whatever it was Christall or something,
and they told out a bottle and I go how
much how much is that? They said five hundred dollars.
I go, what said? You're you're paying for the booth
that you're gonna sit, so you have to pay to sit?

Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I remember I was at a club though where Remember
the women came around with the cigarettes. They had a
I don't know, some kind of like a board, a harness,
and then they'd have the cigarettes there. Men. Yeah, when
you can smoke inside, smoke some heaters bottle service. Give
(11:45):
me a break. Tom in North Carolina? Hey Tom, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (11:52):
DP, you are the greatest. So I was sitting her thinking,
I was like, Yeah, the semi slow sports night. Wonder
what the guys are going to do in the morning.
The lead are gonna rag on fritzy all day that
you guys pulled out the big guns ninety nine days
so opening night, So congrats to you guys. Maybe looking
forward to you know, guys breaking down the Miami backfield
(12:15):
later on and then possibly you know, is you know
how much pressure is own deck?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Whole question right here on. Thank you, Tom. You know,
leave it, leave it to us to screw up the
math on how many days until the first night of
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yes, I came in this morning. I thought it was
one hundred days til NFL kick off. Yeah, And I
checked my math. I'm like, oh, it's actually ninety nine,
and then I checked my math again, I mean others
check my math. It's actually ninety eight days. Okay, But
that's good news, which.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Just funny because yesterday I came in and said, we're
just passed one hundred days to the NFL season.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yesterday that was mentioned. Yeah, but then it's ninety nine.
We thought it was ninety nine yesterday, right, and therefore
it's ninety eight today.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Tomorrow's got to be ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yes, you don't thing on the time. We're gonna do
a segment tomorrow. It's ninety seven days till the NFL opens,
and that'll that'll be tomorrow. Ninety seventh story life you
need to look out for in this night.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
What's the greatest ninety seven in league history?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Sometimes we act as if we still work at ESPN,
and how we would have to cover something, you know,
segment coming up, it would be ninety seven storylines to follow,
and then you would have a whole segment on Sports
Center or NFL Live ninety seven day.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Let's go back to nineteen ninety seven, and then let's
playing the Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Then the voiceover to ninety eight, like that voiceover at
the SP's get Damn. I feel bad whenever I hear
the voiceover guy on ESPN. Why because somehow that guy's
made a living with Well, okay, here's the problem. Here's
the problem. I tried to get him fired. Wow, that's
(13:54):
not nice. Long time ago. It's not nice because I said,
what are we doing? I don't know? Coming up? And
I went, no, no, how about just hey, coming up?
Coming up?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Did the phone ring at your desk and you say hello,
Dan Patrick? Hello, Dan, I'd like to speak to you
for a minute. What the hell's your problem?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Why are you taking food off of my table? Hello?
Dan Patrick? If you why is this the guy trying
to get me fired? I did go to management. I said,
it just sounds a little over the top. That dude
outlasted me at ESPN. Coming up? I made a fortune.
(14:35):
I'm sure that Dan Patrick leaves the mother ship that
is from the beach. Was he fired? Hell's your problem?
Brought to you by?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
That?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Would Dan Patrick? Here? Yeah? That would be a segment.
That'd be a segment.

think I've ever admitted that, but I remember telling Rich Eisen.
I was like, God, I don't like this doesn't sound good.
You said you should go tell you should go tell Norby?
(15:32):
No I did. Yeah. Alrighty, let's take a break here.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Sixty four percent of the audience have that series is over?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Okay over?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Lebron James is most involved in either getting JJ Reddick
the Lakers gig or getting a Sun drafted. That's at
eighty one percent. He's more involved in getting a Sun drafted.
And the better job in professional sports head coach or
GMGM is absolutely destroying head coach.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Fair enough, all right? My goal is to get Adam
left Coo in trouble. He works NBA on TNT. Inside
the NBA, he hosts on Tuesday night co host of
The Big Podcast with Shack and left Goo joins us, Now, okay,
are there things we can't talk about with the NBA
on TNT. I've been prepped, you know, oh, really, Todd.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Well, because Todd was like, Hey, I'd love to have
you come on and talk about the Western Conference finals,
and I was like sure, Tod, I was like, I'm sure.
You want to break down how Derek Lively has one
hundred and eight dunks and Klieba only has six and
his impact on the glass is a huge difference. No,
I think, Look, I know how you work. Okay, we
(17:45):
know how this goes. You got Charles out here. When
Charles came on your show, I jokingly hit up a
PR person and I said, those talking points you gave
him were great. Oh I can't believe he just told
him to say those things.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yes, he went scorched earth there and uh, but you
know what, Charles can't really get in trouble. Yeah, you're
You're a dad of a newborn that's six months old,
and I want you to keep that job at least
for another year.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I thought about that. You know how people like to
say that's above my pay grade?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Is it above? Is anything above Charles's pay grade?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
No?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
No. No, okay, what have you been told about the
future of the NBA on TNT after this next season?
Speaker 8 (18:27):
So okay, I can.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
I can, cause I was sitting in the makeup chair
yesterday getting ready for a show on True TV, and
some of the higher up people were there and.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
They just said, listen, it's not over. We're still talking
to them. We're still I mean, you still have Zaslov
talking to Adam Silver. They're still really, really trying, That's
what I'm being told. I think that, you know, very
early on I removed I tried to remove a lot
of my emotion from this, and part of it was
I was talking to my agent and he's I don't
(19:00):
think people realize that if another network is going to
do this, First of all, TNT Sports can match, but
they need to get all of the paperwork done before
there's a match. And that's when my brain went, oh,
I don't think lawyers have ever rushed through paperwork and
gotten rid of billable hours so that T and T
(19:24):
can match really quick. And so that's what I thought.
Has been funny this entire time has been all of
these reports where it's done, and then the new media
cycle right now of there's a sources, and then that
turns into an image of the inside guys with the
text that says it's over and there's no context and
(19:46):
there's no reporting, and it just snowballs really quickly. That
has been the part there. But in terms of the
NBA on T and T next year, I'm being told
that they're doing everything they can right now to make
sure that that happened.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And how do you kick Ernie Johnson to the curb?
So then you take what's the game plan to do that?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
You are really a peach, aren't you. One of the
greatest joys of my life is sitting and watching inside
the NBA. And so I'm the sick oh cause you know,
media people Dan as soon as they can leave, they
go home. For me, Like if I'm hosting a show
(20:31):
at seven and then Inside starts at seven thirty, I
sit on the set and watch with the makeup people
and the production people, and then Shuck will be like, hey, Adam,
who do you like in the game tonight? And then
Shack's like, where'd you get that? Hood you? And then
I go in the back and I order dinner and
I watch with them, and then Ernie comes in and goes, kid,
(20:51):
what are you still doing here? And then I am like, yes,
now I get my six minutes of Ernie time before
he goes into his bunker and starts working. And so
it's one of the greatest thrills of my life for
him to be my colleague. I don't think that he's replaceable.
I think that that those four on inside the NBA,
(21:14):
the love that they have for each other, the camaraderie
they have, the talent they have. I think I always
hear inside compared to college game day, And with all
due respect to college game day, I think that the
spectacle of game day is the circus and the fact
that each week you move to a new city, thousands
of kids show up. What are the signs going to be?
(21:36):
How do they pull it off? That's crazy inside is
four dudes at a desk. Those two things. You need
a circus to compete with these four men. And I
think that I still learn from Ernie every day. My
father and my grandfather are my personal heroes, but Ernie
has been my professional mentor and someone at any time
(22:01):
that I either get too high or too low, I
look at steady Ernie and I realize he's the guy,
and so for me. Look, I've had a lot of
cool talks with him about the future and stuff like that,
but to even think about that would make me sick.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Is Adam Lefko NBA on TNT Inside the NBA host
on Tuesday. He's been part of the Western Conference Finals
alt cast that's on True TV and streaming on Max. Yeah,
it's it's hard to replicate something. You're in a sterile
environment NBA, inside the NBA, whereas college game day you
have a lot of bells and whistles, and we probably
(22:38):
remember the atmosphere more than what the analysts say, more
on game day than we do inside the NBA, because
you guys do have props, and you know, guys get
hit with a pie, or somebody falls down, or the
Christmas tree gets knocked down, but still you're remembering the
exchanges that they have. It'll live on. It just it'll
live on maybe elsewhere, but hopefully. If I'm a TV executive,
(23:03):
I'm just taking that show and then I plug it in,
plug and play. Or as I said to Shaq, or
I said to Charles, just do it yourself. I mean,
you got a production company, just do it yourself.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
I'm going to tell Chuck that you confused him for Shack,
and I cannot wait for his reaction because that is
that's just going to be peachy. I can't imagine the
NBA without inside the NBA. And I think that I've
watched every other NBA show try to be inside the NBA.
I have seen them. Let's laugh more, you know, let's
(23:40):
let's have a gimmick, and the thing that you need
to realize is that none of it is planned. And
you bring.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Up on left go, you bring up something great. And
I remember when I was at the mother Ship that
all else fails laugh. And you see some of these
shows where not everything's that funny, and when I want
Charles and Jack Kenny Ernie, not everything's funny, and even
the awkwardness of that's not funny, We're not going to
(24:09):
force a laugh. I admire that because a lot of
these pregame shows in the NFL, it's somebody says something
that you go, HAA, You're like, who laughs like that
and really.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Nothing over nothing, Daniel Jones better have a good game.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Who knows.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You're sitting there and you're like that was ridiculous because
they're they're they're trying to make good TV, and they
they don't realize that good TV is being in the moment.
I don't. I don't think I've said this to you before.
I Andrew Schultz is a comedian that's on the rise.
He's incredible. He was so good during the Tom Brady roast.
And I was at a friend's house and some of
(24:46):
his close writer comedian friends were there, and when they
found out that I did the NBA on TNT, one
of them was like, do you realize that that show
is comedy perfected? And they don't even realize it. And
I said, how is Ernie comedy? Like I would love
to hear how Ernie's comedy? And he said that comedy
is about breaking a line and breaking the rules, and
(25:09):
Ernie is the rules. And so when Chuck goes, when
Kenny goes, what'd you say about San Antonio women? And
then Ernie goes, don't say it, don't say it. When
Chuck says it, Oh, he said it. But when I
watch these other shows, it's like, oh, say it again,
do it again, be louder. And they don't realize that
(25:32):
SNEL is great because you have a crazy person and
a straight man and someone is not laughing, you know
what I mean. And Ernie is undoubtedly knows about it.
He calls himself the worst traffic cop ever, but he
creates the boundaries that they break. And it's like, that's
why the ages there are so great, because Shaq gets
(25:53):
to be fifteen again because Ernie to him is still Grandpa.
Ernie to me, I'm like Shaq you're double my age,
like you shouldn't be shaving your eyebrows and putting women's
hair extensions on your forehead. But he gets to be
a kid again, and that's why it's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
All Right, a couple of things, all right, Seaton, give
lefgo poll questions here. Let's start with Minnesota Dallas over,
over or interesting or interesting.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
I think that I will be watching the injury reports
and if Derek Lively is out again, it is very
interesting because I just thought the end of the game
him not being in the middle of the floor as
either the lob threat or the guy they can pass,
to the fact that Draymond Green had to tell Daniel Gafford, Hey,
when you get the ball, you can pass it back out.
(26:44):
That stuff that Lively has already figured out as a rookie.
And so I thought it was interesting in the last
game that Minnesota finally answered the call late. I don't
know if they can replicate Karl Anthony Towns hitting those
threes again. That seems kind of unlikely, but we're in Minnesota,
and I think it's very interesting if you go to
(27:04):
a game six a year after we had Boston come
back from down three h.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
All right, Lebron James Pole question, Yeah, is he most
involved in getting JJ Reddick to the Lakers or getting
his son drafted?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
They are sure saying a lot that they're not involved
in the coaching hire. They sure are. I think that
Lebron would. I think Lebron knows if he tries to
play with his son, there are still factions that will go,
that's adorable. And when those pictures come out, people will
go who wouldn't want to play with their son? I
think legm the Lebron that I control. I think he's
(27:44):
trying to really get away from that. We had Rich
Paul on one of our altcasts and he just came
out and categorically denied that he's involved. Does the podcast
continue if it's JJ Reddick? Do they just start bringing
up like the podcast makes it so much funnier that
they were sitting here and they're like drinking wine together
(28:04):
and then all of a sudden, JJ's leading timeouts. I
have talked to a number of former NBA players, whether
it's like around the studios or out, and they all
want JJ to get it. They're not rooting against him,
but they want him to get a taste and they
want because everybody thinks they can be a coach. Like
(28:24):
you guys are talking about better job. I think that's
the next one. GM. By the way, ten times better job.
You draft a quarterback, you draft a new player, and
you get three years at it. I've seen coaches, Oh
Lovey Smith, you get Jamis Winston, doesn't matter, You're gone
the next year.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
But I do you think people want Reddick to get humbled.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Yes, I think they do because I still think they
look at JJ Reddick as duke JJ Reddick. I still
think that that's there, and JJ has been someone. It's
his tone that I think throws a lot of people.
He's so confident, he's so convincing. He immediately is like,
you guys don't understand, let me teach you basketball. And
(29:08):
I think for the people that know basketball, even though
he might not be talking to them, they're like, miss
me with that. And so what a tough job to
start off with. Oh my gosh, good luck.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, but I've said this many times on the show.
I mean Lebron has manicured his career. Everything he does
he does with purpose. He's their strategy. Why would you
at the end of your career all of a sudden
not want to be involved with maybe the last two
years of your career in who's going to be your
(29:44):
head coat? I don't know if you can go hey,
whoever you hire. I just I can't believe that.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Two things. One, I thought it was very interesting on
our all cast that unprompted Rich Paul went Lebron's a
free agent. He has not declined his player option yet,
and so that to me is very fascinating because Lebron
loves to become a free agent. When he says I
want this, this, and this to happen, that's usually how
he gets controlled. Second thing I found interesting is that
(30:14):
you're setting Lebron's career over under at two and a
half years, and I would probably take the over because
when you're dropping twenty eight, seven and seven, I haven't
seen the declimb. And in this new age of we
don't play back to backs, we don't play four games
in five days, we no longer look down on sitting games.
(30:36):
I kind of think he can keep extending.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
This, but he has to win. He can have all
the stants in the world's this is all time greatness,
and if he's going to continue to play for a
team that could be, you know, the Pelicans. I mean,
the Lakers and the Pelicans are probably very similar in
talent and result. Is Lebron want to continue to be
(31:01):
involved in something like that where you're not The West
is gonna be stacked again next year? What makes you
believe that the Lakers are all of a sudden gonna
go you know what, where the team to be or
one of the teams.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
What's more likely Lebron under two and a half years
in the NBA or Lebron over one half over one
and a half teams he plays for for the rest
of his career. Like you're talking about playing for a
new team. You can't get any wins in retirement. You
(31:34):
can win zero championships in retirement. And if Lebron goes
off into the sunset being like I just don't see
championships in my future, Jordan would never Jordan, you know what,
I respect the fact that Jordan went to Washington at
least tried he at least tried to within with those guys.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Okay, Lebron and his career as a Laker, I don't
think so Okay, this.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
Is completely conjecture. Just I think what you're saying what
I agree with you is I look at the makeup
of the Lakers and I go, I don't know if
it's happening there. You know, we've we've seen this a
few times. I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't
know if it's Cleveland come to Philly, Maxi embiid in.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Can we stop this all of a sudden, Philadelphia's getting
Jimmy Butler again, Paul George Lebron like we've done this before.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
All yeah, oh well, because this is the make or
break year. Look, I grew up a Sixers fan. This
is the make or break year. We've been hearing about
the year of cap space for five years. This will
be the first season in which Tobias Harris or I
got this from the rights to Ricky Sanje's podcast. Tobias
Harris or jaliel okafor are not on the roster in
(32:49):
like a decade, So it's all free. The only contract
there is like embiid and when they re signed Maxi,
it's it's this is the time. This is why you
brought in Marey three years ago. And if you don't
land a Paul George A Lebron or a Jimmy Butler,
and you're sitting there being like, we're gonna bring back
Kelly Ubray and a bunch of role players that ain't
(33:13):
gonna cut it.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Well, it's not gonna cut it. I would worry about
Embeid looking around going look, I went through everything. Yes,
I was injured first couple of years, but you know
the process, and I've been a constant. You know, maybe
it's time for me to leave.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Sounds like him and Lebron have a lot in common.
Maybe they should talk to each other. Lebron and Philly
would actually be awful and I would actually hate it
because Philly if they ever started booing Lebron that like
first segment on Sports Center, would be crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Oh my, do you think you got in trouble during
this conversation?
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Did you get in trouble for not getting me in trouble?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
No, because I'm my boss.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Did Todd get in trouble? The funniest thing about getting
booked on the show is that when Todd puts out
the guests and the people on Twitter are like one guest,
way to work today, Todd, idiot, thanks for I've never
I've never seen a booker like who's the one of
the best, if not the best bookers in the business.
(34:19):
People are openly like way to give effort today. Nobody
else gets that, no they love.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
You, they don't. But then nobody takes more victory laps
when they do get a couple of guests like Todd does.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Does he yes?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (34:34):
Does he ever pop champagne for himself? Costas?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah? But there are times when I do say to Todd,
I said, you know, I booked this guy, and then
he'll go, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
What would you say? Is Todd's best book in the
history of the show, Like the one where it was like,
I can't believe you got right?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Uh Seeton, I'll ask you you got one. It's been
so long guys, Wow, wow, hanging. I just have to go.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Back Kelly in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Wait, you got Dan Bickley from the Arizona Republic Kevin Moss?
I remember, yeah, who do you got? Paulie left go?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Do you remember a long time ago, like oh, seven
o eight when they were talking about trading Kobe Bryant
to the Bulls and it was a big topic. Fritzy
got that week at the end of the week he
got Kobe to call in and put the topic a
little bit to bed, and that was a monster at
the time. So it was at the time, and the
week before he got Beckham in his first American radio interview.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Oh wow, Yeah, that's a long time ago, two thousand
and seven. Yeah, that's that's seventeen years. Hell of a
year though, Yeah, that was that was a hell of
a week, not a hell of a year. Yeah, what
a great vintage.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
All right, Well, hell of you guys.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Hey, thanks for joining us, and good luck, good luck
with your few mature Thanks.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
And uh, you know, if I need to it sounds
like you guys might need a booker.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And I know people, if you would like to fill
in on this show, we'd be more than happy to
have you sit in here.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
Yeah, okay, now I have chills and I need to
go run around the block some true stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, this way, you could replace Ernie and you can
replace me.
Speaker 8 (36:24):
All right, goodbye, all right, thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
That's Adam. That's Adam Lefgo NBA on TNT inside the
NBA part of the Western Conference Finals old cast that's
on True TV and streaming on Max. We'll take a
break back after this.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w APP.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
We'll get some more phone calls coming up eight seven
to seven three DP show Tyler the operator sitting by
taking your phone calls. We were just watching this video.
If you were watching on Peacock with us, you had
a man in Michigan and he zoomed in for his
hearing and he had a suspended license and he didn't
have a driver's license. But he's zooming in talking to
(37:12):
the judge and then he says, you know, have you
parked your car? And the guy goes, yeah, just park
in my car. Now the judge doesn't know why the
guy's zooming in, and then all of a sudden, somebody
with the court goes, yes, a suspended license, and you know,
one other thing, and then you can see the judge
going you're driving and you don't have a you don't
(37:36):
have a license, and you could see the guy who
zoomed in he goes oh, And then next thing you know,
the judge goes, you must surrender by six pm Eastern.
You're going into jail and if you don't, then it's
like forfeiture of bond or something like that. A bench warman.
(37:56):
This dude is driving talking to the judge udge about
driving with a suspended license, and you can just see
the judge go, wait, what are we doing here? And
this guy is like, oh, I'm almost parked here. He's
like backing into the space. Okay, yes, yeah, now I'm
(38:18):
parked here, Judge, your honor, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
And the judge is kind of incredulous. He's like, is
this really happening? And then you look at the defense
table and a court appointed lawyer. She's like oh, and
she has a hand over her mouth, like trying not
to laugh. Yeah, that's the interering level of fame this
guy has gotten this week. Everyone's seen this video.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah, what's his name, Corey? Yeah, Corey, Yeah, poor Corey.
And he's processing this as he hears the judge, and
the judge says, and you are driving with a suspended license.
And then you can just see Corey's eyes get big
and his mouth is open and he's like, oh, yes.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
The poor defense lawyers, you put this whole case together,
and this is what he does and screws up his
own kids, and he's just to just say that is correct.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Sir.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Oh Man, that's funny, yeah, Paul, And it was.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
It didn't appear to be an emergency. He wasn't rushing
to the hospital. He was going to you know, a
doctor's appointment. Yeah, like a checkup. You may have to say,
I'm on my way to the doctor. You should have
he should have stoked it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Well, I don't. I don't know what he could have
done because he was driving, and if you have a
suspended license then you shouldn't be driving. So it's pretty
And then I just think the judge was like, this
is stupid. You know, you got to surrender, come on
into jail. You go to the doctor, and you're gonna
(39:47):
end up in jail. Yes, Mark, Do you not have
to go to court in person anymore? That's the worst thing.
I thought. Also, I didn't know that you could zuem in,
but I, PAULI said, you know me with a smaller
offense that you don't have traffic with everybody in there.
I mean, if you've been into a courtroom like that
(40:08):
where it's just rapid fire, I mean that's what they want,
because what will happen is you know, there'll be like
case ninety seven four nine two, and then you go
up there in front of them, and then all of
a sudden, if the police officers there arrested you, then
you know they'll hear everything and whatever whatever happens to
you after that. In my case, when I got pulled over,
(40:31):
I'm going through a yellow light in Atlanta. Once again,
it was a yellow light, but they took me to jail.
I didn't have my license with me, and then I
don't know how many days later, weeks later, when I
went and the guy before me, he said not guilty,
and then they called out the police officer. The police
officer wasn't there. Case dismissed. So I'm there in front
(40:54):
of the judge and I look around and I'm going,
I don't even know who my police. I go, not guilty.
They officer Richmond officer Richmond, case dismiss I wait, yes, yes, Freeman.
Final hour in the way
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan
Nets Dan Patrick Show. We got basketball tonight, Mavericks, Timberwolves,
MAVs are getting five Panthers at the Rangers. That series
tied to two games apiece. So's the Oilers and the Stars.
Oilers beat Dallas last night. That series tied to two
games apiece. All right, we'll get phone calls coming up
(00:27):
each seven to seven three DP show email address DP
Atdanpatrick dot com Twitter handle is that DP show SA.
Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you, and
our radio affiliates we say good morning to them. iHeartRadio.
Fox Sports Radio. Stat of the Day is always brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the program. Adam Lefko, host for NBA on TNT, will
(00:48):
join us coming up. I know that the analyst on
inside the NBA on TNT are not allowed to be
talking to the media. This probably is a fallout from
when Charles Barklay joined us a couple of weeks ago,
and I think pr from what I'm told, said, guys,
(01:08):
let's just not talk about this. But the longer this
goes when Charles was on with us, he thought it
was going to be happening like that afternoon that day.
That was three weeks ago, and then he came on again.
He still didn't know what was going to happen with
Inside the NBA. Did The Inside the NBA is not
going to die. It may just move. Because if you're
(01:30):
the NBA and you're the commissioner, you want that show
to continue wherever it's going to be. You could still
have that same show, but you could put it on
another network. If I'm a network executive and i could
bring that show in knowing that I'm going to get
that build in audience that's going to watch and that
is a wonderful pre half and post show and see
(01:52):
you've already got that figured out. Now all you got
to do is, you know, get your announcers for the games.
But I think with the NBA on TNT, it's is
it going to continue to live there? It feels like
the longer this goes on, is the NBA trying to
carve out something for TNT and is that enough for
the other partners? Because if I'm NBC and I just
(02:13):
spent two point five billion dollars. I don't want to
be sharing some of these games with TNT if they're
not paying what we're paying. And I think they ask TNT,
you have to go up to two point eight billion dollars.
Because NBC has a lot of different networks, they have
a you know, a wider expanse with their audience to
(02:33):
be able to, you know, get more people watching the
NBA than TNT does, although they do have True TV.
But you know, it feels like that's what's you know,
that inside basketball, they're inside basketball negotiations, that's what's going on.
So I don't know if Lefgo is allowed to talk
about this, but we do have him coming on, and
I have to ask him, being the journalist that I am,
(02:54):
he'll join us. Coming up a little bit here.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, Paul, I've found stories from May third. This isn't
expected today, TNT, NBC, NBA rights. That's from May third.
I got a two articles from a week ago. Today.
They're at the goal line NBC and the NBA. But
nothing's happening, nothing's beneficial, no announcements.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
But I think I think NBC is getting the NBA,
Amazon's getting the NBA, ESPN, ABC, will continue with the NBA.
The question is do you carve out something for TNT
and if you do is it's solely based on that
halftime pregame postgame show eight seven seven three DP show.
We spent a little bit of time first hour. We
(03:36):
were talking about ninety nine days until the opening night
of the NFL and some of the storylines and also
the contracts that are there, you know, to it to
me is an interesting one. Do I want to pay
him top dollar? I don't. I would want him to
play another year. I want to. I want to see
can he do it again? You just added Odell Beckham junior.
(03:56):
You have a really good wide receiving corps. You have
a brilliant offensive mind as your head coach. I'd like
to see it one more year. And I know players
feel like that's a slap in the face when you
have your contract. I don't have to. I know that.
You know we've torn up contracts before. But is Josh
Allen different than Tua? Yeah? Is Joe Burrow different? Yeah?
(04:19):
You could even say Justin Herbert Yeah, so uh oh,
this is just in from Adam Schefter with the Miami Dolphins,
Jalen Wattle and the Dolphins just reached a contract agreement
three years eighty four point seven five million dollars included
(04:40):
a seventy six million dollar guarantee. So he is one
of the league's top five highest paid wide receivers. They
got a lot of money spent there, a lot of
money tied up in their receivers there. Yes, Paul, what.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
An interesting career for Waddle. Remember when he was the
star at Bama. Breaks his ankle, smith takes over, gets
a heisman, gets drafted high Wattle even on a broken ankle,
got drafted high in Yeah, it turns out he's awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
He got paid all right. So that so according to
Adam Schefter, Yes, Tod, that's a wattle money.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Uh no, my speech impediments. Have a little fun with that.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, a wattle money. You don't have a speech impediment.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Just talk too fast or much the livra in my
mouth and something.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, you don't have the speech impediment and not that we
would focus on that if you know, he would die.
Uh Pole. Question for hour two is gonna be what
Seaton O'Connor. We got a bunch of.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Them going right now, Dan, we have a better job
and professional sports head coach of general manager. Right now,
ninety percent say general manager Lebron James is most involved
in getting JJ Reddick the Laker job or son getting drafted.
Eighty five percent say his son getting drafted. And then
we also have MAVs Timberwolves. Is dot dot dot over
(05:58):
or interesting? Sixty four percent of the audience say it
is over.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Oh okay, I'm in the minority of this. I think
it's interesting and after tonight really interesting. Minnesota's proven that
they can win on the road. They did that to Denver,
thedn't they beat Denver three times in Denver there they
can do that. But you know, everything's got to go right.
(06:26):
They have to play a solid, great game. Anthony Edwards
has to give you a great night, Karl. Anthony Towns
has to be consistent, and then they have to play
defense and keep Dallas out of the paint. Okay, if
you do check check check. Okay. Now you just hope
that Luca doesn't go off and or Kyrie goes off,
(06:48):
because if that happens now all of a sudden, your
game plan may change.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Yes, Marv, if you're Chris Finch, do you tell kat A,
let's not shoot nine three pointers, Let's shoot four and
go inside and pretend like we're seven feet tall.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, that's what I said he should do last game,
which he did. He started out, he went inside, got
a couple of hoops, go to the free throw line.
Then all of a sudden they have to at least
respect you that you're going inside. He had a couple
of threes there, but you know, he's a rhythm shooter,
the volume shooter. When it comes to threes. I just
want to make sure he gets in the flow of
the game. That's all. Just just get in there, get
(07:23):
some points there. We're playing at home, the crowd's on
your side, yes, Ton, So that s game could be
both of those things. It could be interesting all the
way through.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I know we're talking about after the Timberleves would possibly win,
but I could see it getting down to the wire
and then they will ultimately lose.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No now is that this has to be the end result?
Is interesting or over Like, we're not doing it with
the game. I'm doing it with the series. Why are
you such a contrarian today?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I think the Timberwolves will have like a five to
six point lead late in the fourth quarter and also
will win okay, and this way it'll be interesting on
over at the same time.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, Yeah, get to your phone calls coming up. Uh,
got our poll questions. We'll stay with those for a
little bit here. And Barry and Santa fe Hi, Barry,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Good morning fellows, Good morning chat Roe. I think it's
snuck by you yesterday that after Marvin guests correctly Chris
hayneses age, Chris called Marvin Marlin, which, of course by
my age, guy, my age. I went back to the
videotape and I did check it. The name Marlin to
(08:35):
a guy my age. I think of the Jackson five.
So if you guys with the Jackson five with Marvin
as Marlin Dan, of course that Nacy Michael. Can I
get a thank you? Paully is steady, older brother Jermaine
(08:57):
Seaton is Randy, which isis leave Todd as the one
and only LaToya?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh no, no, LaToya, Thank you.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Erry.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I think it was lost on Barry that Todd you
would be Tito.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
I guess I could live with them.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, okay, you just want to be in the Jacksonville
on the stage. That's yeah, that's it. I'm on the stage.
That's all you want to do. I didn't know Chris
Aanes called you Marlin dancing with a bass guitar and
a hand, not even playing the bass, but just having
it in your hands.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
David in Miami, Hi, David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Dan?
Speaker 10 (09:36):
Thanks so much for taking my call, David at five
nine at I'm just going in state.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Dan.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
You know we talk on your show a lot about
goats across all the sports. You are truly the goats.
All of your fans out here.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
We don't know what.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
We're going to do without you, how we're going to
fill our mornings once you retire. That's still a pain

It's a bottle of tequila at F one event, it
probably costs nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, I know bottle service. I went into a club
one time, but I went in with a couple of
former athletes and they were saying, you know, do you
want to get bottle service? And I said I can.
I can drink draft and they go what I said, No,
I can drink draft. I don't have to have bottle
and they go that's funny. And I go, oh, what
(10:52):

were going to get some whatever it was Christall or something,
and they told out a bottle and I go how
much how much is that? They said five hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
No, I didn't see that.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I remember I was at a club though where Remember
the women came around with the cigarettes. They had a
I don't know, some kind of like a board, a harness,
and then they'd have the cigarettes there. Men. Yeah, when
you can smoke inside, smoke some heaters bottle service. Give
(11:45):
me a break. Tom in North Carolina? Hey Tom, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (11:52):
DP, you are the greatest. So I was sitting her thinking,
I was like, Yeah, the semi slow sports night. Wonder
what the guys are going to do in the morning.
The lead are gonna rag on fritzy all day that
you guys pulled out the big guns ninety nine days
so opening night, So congrats to you guys. Maybe looking
forward to you know, guys breaking down the Miami backfield
(12:15):
later on and then possibly you know, is you know
how much pressure is own deck?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Whole question right here on. Thank you, Tom. You know,
leave it, leave it to us to screw up the
math on how many days until the first night of
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yes, I came in this morning. I thought it was
one hundred days til NFL kick off. Yeah, And I
checked my math. I'm like, oh, it's actually ninety nine,
and then I checked my math again, I mean others
check my math. It's actually ninety eight days. Okay, But
that's good news, which.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Just funny because yesterday I came in and said, we're
just passed one hundred days to the NFL season.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yesterday that was mentioned. Yeah, but then it's ninety nine.
We thought it was ninety nine yesterday, right, and therefore
it's ninety eight today.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Tomorrow's got to be ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yes, you don't thing on the time. We're gonna do
a segment tomorrow. It's ninety seven days till the NFL opens,
and that'll that'll be tomorrow. Ninety seventh story life you
need to look out for in this night.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
What's the greatest ninety seven in league history?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Sometimes we act as if we still work at ESPN,
and how we would have to cover something, you know,
segment coming up, it would be ninety seven storylines to follow,
and then you would have a whole segment on Sports
Center or NFL Live ninety seven day.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Let's go back to nineteen ninety seven, and then let's
playing the Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Then the voiceover to ninety eight, like that voiceover at
the SP's get Damn. I feel bad whenever I hear
the voiceover guy on ESPN. Why because somehow that guy's
made a living with Well, okay, here's the problem. Here's
the problem. I tried to get him fired. Wow, that's
(13:54):
not nice. Long time ago. It's not nice because I said,
what are we doing? I don't know? Coming up? And
I went, no, no, how about just hey, coming up?
Coming up?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Did the phone ring at your desk and you say hello,
Dan Patrick? Hello, Dan, I'd like to speak to you
for a minute. What the hell's your problem?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Why are you taking food off of my table? Hello?
Dan Patrick? If you why is this the guy trying
to get me fired? I did go to management. I said,
it just sounds a little over the top. That dude
outlasted me at ESPN. Coming up? I made a fortune.
(14:35):
I'm sure that Dan Patrick leaves the mother ship that
is from the beach. Was he fired? Hell's your problem?
Brought to you by?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
That?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Would Dan Patrick? Here? Yeah? That would be a segment.
That'd be a segment.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
He said, I got six cold heart facts for you.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, and one is you're not here anymore. You're a
real talking here do brought to you?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Bye? All right?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So I just got a call from Norby? What the
hell is your problem? Yeah? I did good. I don't
think I've ever admitted that, but I remember telling Rich Eisen.
I was like, God, I don't like this doesn't sound good.
You said you should go tell you should go tell Norby?
(15:32):
No I did. Yeah. Alrighty, let's take a break here.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Right now we've got MAV Timberwolves. Is dot dot dot
over or interesting?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Sixty four percent of the audience have that series is over?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Okay over?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Lebron James is most involved in either getting JJ Reddick
the Lakers gig or getting a Sun drafted. That's at
eighty one percent. He's more involved in getting a Sun drafted.
And the better job in professional sports head coach or
GMGM is absolutely destroying head coach.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Fair enough, all right? My goal is to get Adam
left Coo in trouble. He works NBA on TNT. Inside
the NBA, he hosts on Tuesday night co host of
The Big Podcast with Shack and left Goo joins us, Now, okay,
are there things we can't talk about with the NBA
on TNT. I've been prepped, you know, oh, really, Todd.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Well, because Todd was like, Hey, I'd love to have
you come on and talk about the Western Conference finals,
and I was like sure, Tod, I was like, I'm sure.
You want to break down how Derek Lively has one
hundred and eight dunks and Klieba only has six and
his impact on the glass is a huge difference. No,
I think, Look, I know how you work. Okay, we
(17:45):
know how this goes. You got Charles out here. When
Charles came on your show, I jokingly hit up a
PR person and I said, those talking points you gave
him were great. Oh I can't believe he just told
him to say those things.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yes, he went scorched earth there and uh, but you
know what, Charles can't really get in trouble. Yeah, you're
You're a dad of a newborn that's six months old,
and I want you to keep that job at least
for another year.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I thought about that. You know how people like to
say that's above my pay grade?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Is it above? Is anything above Charles's pay grade?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
No?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
No. No, okay, what have you been told about the
future of the NBA on TNT after this next season?
Speaker 8 (18:27):
So okay, I can.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
I can, cause I was sitting in the makeup chair
yesterday getting ready for a show on True TV, and
some of the higher up people were there and.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
They just said, listen, it's not over. We're still talking
to them. We're still I mean, you still have Zaslov
talking to Adam Silver. They're still really, really trying, That's
what I'm being told. I think that, you know, very
early on I removed I tried to remove a lot
of my emotion from this, and part of it was
I was talking to my agent and he's I don't
(19:00):
think people realize that if another network is going to
do this, First of all, TNT Sports can match, but
they need to get all of the paperwork done before
there's a match. And that's when my brain went, oh,
I don't think lawyers have ever rushed through paperwork and
gotten rid of billable hours so that T and T
(19:24):
can match really quick. And so that's what I thought.
Has been funny this entire time has been all of
these reports where it's done, and then the new media
cycle right now of there's a sources, and then that
turns into an image of the inside guys with the
text that says it's over and there's no context and
(19:46):
there's no reporting, and it just snowballs really quickly. That
has been the part there. But in terms of the
NBA on T and T next year, I'm being told
that they're doing everything they can right now to make
sure that that happened.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And how do you kick Ernie Johnson to the curb?
So then you take what's the game plan to do that?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
You are really a peach, aren't you. One of the
greatest joys of my life is sitting and watching inside
the NBA. And so I'm the sick oh cause you know,
media people Dan as soon as they can leave, they
go home. For me, Like if I'm hosting a show
(20:31):
at seven and then Inside starts at seven thirty, I
sit on the set and watch with the makeup people
and the production people, and then Shuck will be like, hey, Adam,
who do you like in the game tonight? And then
Shack's like, where'd you get that? Hood you? And then
I go in the back and I order dinner and
I watch with them, and then Ernie comes in and goes, kid,
(20:51):
what are you still doing here? And then I am like, yes,
now I get my six minutes of Ernie time before
he goes into his bunker and starts working. And so
it's one of the greatest thrills of my life for
him to be my colleague. I don't think that he's replaceable.
I think that that those four on inside the NBA,
(21:14):
the love that they have for each other, the camaraderie
they have, the talent they have. I think I always
hear inside compared to college game day, And with all
due respect to college game day, I think that the
spectacle of game day is the circus and the fact
that each week you move to a new city, thousands
of kids show up. What are the signs going to be?
(21:36):
How do they pull it off? That's crazy inside is
four dudes at a desk. Those two things. You need
a circus to compete with these four men. And I
think that I still learn from Ernie every day. My
father and my grandfather are my personal heroes, but Ernie
has been my professional mentor and someone at any time
(22:01):
that I either get too high or too low, I
look at steady Ernie and I realize he's the guy,
and so for me. Look, I've had a lot of
cool talks with him about the future and stuff like that,
but to even think about that would make me sick.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Is Adam Lefko NBA on TNT Inside the NBA host
on Tuesday. He's been part of the Western Conference Finals
alt cast that's on True TV and streaming on Max. Yeah,
it's it's hard to replicate something. You're in a sterile
environment NBA, inside the NBA, whereas college game day you
have a lot of bells and whistles, and we probably
(22:38):
remember the atmosphere more than what the analysts say, more
on game day than we do inside the NBA, because
you guys do have props, and you know, guys get
hit with a pie, or somebody falls down, or the
Christmas tree gets knocked down, but still you're remembering the
exchanges that they have. It'll live on. It just it'll
live on maybe elsewhere, but hopefully. If I'm a TV executive,
(23:03):
I'm just taking that show and then I plug it in,
plug and play. Or as I said to Shaq, or
I said to Charles, just do it yourself. I mean,
you got a production company, just do it yourself.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
I'm going to tell Chuck that you confused him for Shack,
and I cannot wait for his reaction because that is
that's just going to be peachy. I can't imagine the
NBA without inside the NBA. And I think that I've
watched every other NBA show try to be inside the NBA.
I have seen them. Let's laugh more, you know, let's
(23:40):
let's have a gimmick, and the thing that you need
to realize is that none of it is planned. And
you bring.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Up on left go, you bring up something great. And
I remember when I was at the mother Ship that
all else fails laugh. And you see some of these
shows where not everything's that funny, and when I want
Charles and Jack Kenny Ernie, not everything's funny, and even
the awkwardness of that's not funny, We're not going to
(24:09):
force a laugh. I admire that because a lot of
these pregame shows in the NFL, it's somebody says something
that you go, HAA, You're like, who laughs like that
and really.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Nothing over nothing, Daniel Jones better have a good game.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Who knows.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You're sitting there and you're like that was ridiculous because
they're they're they're trying to make good TV, and they
they don't realize that good TV is being in the moment.
I don't. I don't think I've said this to you before.
I Andrew Schultz is a comedian that's on the rise.
He's incredible. He was so good during the Tom Brady roast.
And I was at a friend's house and some of
(24:46):
his close writer comedian friends were there, and when they
found out that I did the NBA on TNT, one
of them was like, do you realize that that show
is comedy perfected? And they don't even realize it. And
I said, how is Ernie comedy? Like I would love
to hear how Ernie's comedy? And he said that comedy
is about breaking a line and breaking the rules, and
(25:09):
Ernie is the rules. And so when Chuck goes, when
Kenny goes, what'd you say about San Antonio women? And
then Ernie goes, don't say it, don't say it. When
Chuck says it, Oh, he said it. But when I
watch these other shows, it's like, oh, say it again,
do it again, be louder. And they don't realize that
(25:32):
SNEL is great because you have a crazy person and
a straight man and someone is not laughing, you know
what I mean. And Ernie is undoubtedly knows about it.
He calls himself the worst traffic cop ever, but he
creates the boundaries that they break. And it's like, that's
why the ages there are so great, because Shaq gets
(25:53):
to be fifteen again because Ernie to him is still Grandpa.
Ernie to me, I'm like Shaq you're double my age,
like you shouldn't be shaving your eyebrows and putting women's
hair extensions on your forehead. But he gets to be
a kid again, and that's why it's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
All Right, a couple of things, all right, Seaton, give
lefgo poll questions here. Let's start with Minnesota Dallas over,
over or interesting or interesting.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
I think that I will be watching the injury reports
and if Derek Lively is out again, it is very
interesting because I just thought the end of the game
him not being in the middle of the floor as
either the lob threat or the guy they can pass,
to the fact that Draymond Green had to tell Daniel Gafford, Hey,
when you get the ball, you can pass it back out.
(26:44):
That stuff that Lively has already figured out as a rookie.
And so I thought it was interesting in the last
game that Minnesota finally answered the call late. I don't
know if they can replicate Karl Anthony Towns hitting those
threes again. That seems kind of unlikely, but we're in Minnesota,
and I think it's very interesting if you go to
(27:04):
a game six a year after we had Boston come
back from down three h.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
All right, Lebron James Pole question, Yeah, is he most
involved in getting JJ Reddick to the Lakers or getting
his son drafted?
Speaker 8 (27:21):
They are sure saying a lot that they're not involved
in the coaching hire. They sure are. I think that
Lebron would. I think Lebron knows if he tries to
play with his son, there are still factions that will go,
that's adorable. And when those pictures come out, people will
go who wouldn't want to play with their son? I
think legm the Lebron that I control. I think he's
(27:44):
trying to really get away from that. We had Rich
Paul on one of our altcasts and he just came
out and categorically denied that he's involved. Does the podcast
continue if it's JJ Reddick? Do they just start bringing
up like the podcast makes it so much funnier that
they were sitting here and they're like drinking wine together
(28:04):
and then all of a sudden, JJ's leading timeouts. I
have talked to a number of former NBA players, whether
it's like around the studios or out, and they all
want JJ to get it. They're not rooting against him,
but they want him to get a taste and they
want because everybody thinks they can be a coach. Like
(28:24):
you guys are talking about better job. I think that's
the next one. GM. By the way, ten times better job.
You draft a quarterback, you draft a new player, and
you get three years at it. I've seen coaches, Oh
Lovey Smith, you get Jamis Winston, doesn't matter, You're gone
the next year.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
But I do you think people want Reddick to get humbled.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Yes, I think they do because I still think they
look at JJ Reddick as duke JJ Reddick. I still
think that that's there, and JJ has been someone. It's
his tone that I think throws a lot of people.
He's so confident, he's so convincing. He immediately is like,
you guys don't understand, let me teach you basketball. And
(29:08):
I think for the people that know basketball, even though
he might not be talking to them, they're like, miss
me with that. And so what a tough job to
start off with. Oh my gosh, good luck.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, but I've said this many times on the show.
I mean Lebron has manicured his career. Everything he does
he does with purpose. He's their strategy. Why would you
at the end of your career all of a sudden
not want to be involved with maybe the last two
years of your career in who's going to be your
(29:44):
head coat? I don't know if you can go hey,
whoever you hire. I just I can't believe that.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Two things. One, I thought it was very interesting on
our all cast that unprompted Rich Paul went Lebron's a
free agent. He has not declined his player option yet,
and so that to me is very fascinating because Lebron
loves to become a free agent. When he says I
want this, this, and this to happen, that's usually how
he gets controlled. Second thing I found interesting is that
(30:14):
you're setting Lebron's career over under at two and a
half years, and I would probably take the over because
when you're dropping twenty eight, seven and seven, I haven't
seen the declimb. And in this new age of we
don't play back to backs, we don't play four games
in five days, we no longer look down on sitting games.
(30:36):
I kind of think he can keep extending.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
This, but he has to win. He can have all
the stants in the world's this is all time greatness,
and if he's going to continue to play for a
team that could be, you know, the Pelicans. I mean,
the Lakers and the Pelicans are probably very similar in
talent and result. Is Lebron want to continue to be
(31:01):
involved in something like that where you're not The West
is gonna be stacked again next year? What makes you
believe that the Lakers are all of a sudden gonna
go you know what, where the team to be or
one of the teams.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
What's more likely Lebron under two and a half years
in the NBA or Lebron over one half over one
and a half teams he plays for for the rest
of his career. Like you're talking about playing for a
new team. You can't get any wins in retirement. You
(31:34):
can win zero championships in retirement. And if Lebron goes
off into the sunset being like I just don't see
championships in my future, Jordan would never Jordan, you know what,
I respect the fact that Jordan went to Washington at
least tried he at least tried to within with those guys.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Okay, Lebron and his career as a Laker, I don't
think so Okay, this.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
Is completely conjecture. Just I think what you're saying what
I agree with you is I look at the makeup
of the Lakers and I go, I don't know if
it's happening there. You know, we've we've seen this a
few times. I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't
know if it's Cleveland come to Philly, Maxi embiid in.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Can we stop this all of a sudden, Philadelphia's getting
Jimmy Butler again, Paul George Lebron like we've done this before.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
All yeah, oh well, because this is the make or
break year. Look, I grew up a Sixers fan. This
is the make or break year. We've been hearing about
the year of cap space for five years. This will
be the first season in which Tobias Harris or I
got this from the rights to Ricky Sanje's podcast. Tobias
Harris or jaliel okafor are not on the roster in
(32:49):
like a decade, So it's all free. The only contract
there is like embiid and when they re signed Maxi,
it's it's this is the time. This is why you
brought in Marey three years ago. And if you don't
land a Paul George A Lebron or a Jimmy Butler,
and you're sitting there being like, we're gonna bring back
Kelly Ubray and a bunch of role players that ain't
(33:13):
gonna cut it.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Well, it's not gonna cut it. I would worry about
Embeid looking around going look, I went through everything. Yes,
I was injured first couple of years, but you know
the process, and I've been a constant. You know, maybe
it's time for me to leave.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Sounds like him and Lebron have a lot in common.
Maybe they should talk to each other. Lebron and Philly
would actually be awful and I would actually hate it
because Philly if they ever started booing Lebron that like
first segment on Sports Center, would be crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Oh my, do you think you got in trouble during
this conversation?
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Did you get in trouble for not getting me in trouble?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
No, because I'm my boss.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Did Todd get in trouble? The funniest thing about getting
booked on the show is that when Todd puts out
the guests and the people on Twitter are like one guest,
way to work today, Todd, idiot, thanks for I've never
I've never seen a booker like who's the one of
the best, if not the best bookers in the business.
(34:19):
People are openly like way to give effort today. Nobody
else gets that, no they love.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
You, they don't. But then nobody takes more victory laps
when they do get a couple of guests like Todd does.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Does he yes?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (34:34):
Does he ever pop champagne for himself? Costas?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah? But there are times when I do say to Todd,
I said, you know, I booked this guy, and then
he'll go, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
What would you say? Is Todd's best book in the
history of the show, Like the one where it was like,
I can't believe you got right?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Uh Seeton, I'll ask you you got one. It's been
so long guys, Wow, wow, hanging. I just have to go.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Back Kelly in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Wait, you got Dan Bickley from the Arizona Republic Kevin Moss?
I remember, yeah, who do you got? Paulie left go?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Do you remember a long time ago, like oh, seven
o eight when they were talking about trading Kobe Bryant
to the Bulls and it was a big topic. Fritzy
got that week at the end of the week he
got Kobe to call in and put the topic a
little bit to bed, and that was a monster at
the time. So it was at the time, and the
week before he got Beckham in his first American radio interview.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Oh wow, Yeah, that's a long time ago, two thousand
and seven. Yeah, that's that's seventeen years. Hell of a
year though, Yeah, that was that was a hell of
a week, not a hell of a year. Yeah, what

Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 2 (36:48):
We'll get some more phone calls coming up eight seven
to seven three DP show Tyler the operator sitting by
taking your phone calls. We were just watching this video.
If you were watching on Peacock with us, you had
a man in Michigan and he zoomed in for his
hearing and he had a suspended license and he didn't
have a driver's license. But he's zooming in talking to
(37:12):
the judge and then he says, you know, have you
parked your car? And the guy goes, yeah, just park
in my car. Now the judge doesn't know why the
guy's zooming in, and then all of a sudden, somebody
with the court goes, yes, a suspended license, and you know,
one other thing, and then you can see the judge
going you're driving and you don't have a you don't
(37:36):
have a license, and you could see the guy who
zoomed in he goes oh, And then next thing you know,
the judge goes, you must surrender by six pm Eastern.
You're going into jail and if you don't, then it's
like forfeiture of bond or something like that. A bench warman.
(37:56):
This dude is driving talking to the judge udge about
driving with a suspended license, and you can just see
the judge go, wait, what are we doing here? And
this guy is like, oh, I'm almost parked here. He's
like backing into the space. Okay, yes, yeah, now I'm
(38:18):
parked here, Judge, your honor, yes, Paul.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
And the judge is kind of incredulous. He's like, is
this really happening? And then you look at the defense
table and a court appointed lawyer. She's like oh, and
she has a hand over her mouth, like trying not
to laugh. Yeah, that's the interering level of fame this
guy has gotten this week. Everyone's seen this video.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah, what's his name, Corey? Yeah, Corey, Yeah, poor Corey.
And he's processing this as he hears the judge, and
the judge says, and you are driving with a suspended license.
And then you can just see Corey's eyes get big
and his mouth is open and he's like, oh, yes.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
The poor defense lawyers, you put this whole case together,
and this is what he does and screws up his
own kids, and he's just to just say that is correct.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Sir.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Oh Man, that's funny, yeah, Paul, And it was.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
It didn't appear to be an emergency. He wasn't rushing
to the hospital. He was going to you know, a
doctor's appointment. Yeah, like a checkup. You may have to say,
I'm on my way to the doctor. You should have
he should have stoked it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Well, I don't. I don't know what he could have
done because he was driving, and if you have a
suspended license then you shouldn't be driving. So it's pretty
And then I just think the judge was like, this
is stupid. You know, you got to surrender, come on
into jail. You go to the doctor, and you're gonna
(39:47):
end up in jail. Yes, Mark, Do you not have
to go to court in person anymore? That's the worst thing.
I thought. Also, I didn't know that you could zuem in,
but I, PAULI said, you know me with a smaller
offense that you don't have traffic with everybody in there.
I mean, if you've been into a courtroom like that
(40:08):
where it's just rapid fire, I mean that's what they want,
because what will happen is you know, there'll be like
case ninety seven four nine two, and then you go
up there in front of them, and then all of
a sudden, if the police officers there arrested you, then
you know they'll hear everything and whatever whatever happens to
you after that. In my case, when I got pulled over,
(40:31):
I'm going through a yellow light in Atlanta. Once again,
it was a yellow light, but they took me to jail.
I didn't have my license with me, and then I
don't know how many days later, weeks later, when I
went and the guy before me, he said not guilty,
and then they called out the police officer. The police
officer wasn't there. Case dismissed. So I'm there in front
(40:54):
of the judge and I look around and I'm going,
I don't even know who my police. I go, not guilty.
They officer Richmond officer Richmond, case dismiss I wait, yes, yes, Freeman.
